[ During Jha'kurst's Story ]

At the beach house, Jinx lay unconscious on the kitchen floor.

On her bed, Kole lay terrified of the figure that stood in the doorway. Its main body consisted of a sack-like mass of sagging gray tissue, with a round, featureless head placed on the front. This fat, misshapen head stared at Kole with five glowing yellow eyes - Leaving her body unable to move. She couldn't even make any louder noise than a low whine.

Across the floor, the grotesque creature slithered towards her. A chortling could be heard, before it spoke in a terrible voice. "What a pretty little thing you are," it hissed. "I have to retrieve the crystal from you...But why not have a bit of fun, first?" From its back emerged a multitude of tentacles. Kole's eyes widened in terror.

Still practically mute and utterly paralyzed, Kole could do nothing to fight back as her wrists and ankles were bound and she was lifted up. Hung in the air, Kole could do nothing as the monstrosity gazed up at her with glee apparent in its bulbous eyes. "Yes, yes...The little girls of Earth have such delightful bodies. Let's have a look at you..." To her further horror and disgust, Kole was brought down closer.

"My my," the creature breathed, making constant clicking noises, "Rather petite, are we? Don't worry - I do love a nice bust on girls, but in your case, I don't mind..." Kole was unable to see as the creature moved behind her. Yet she could certainly hear. "Oh me, oh my," it cackled. "What a cute little bottom you have!" A few tears formed in the corners of Kole's eyes as a warm, wet, sticky protuberance which suspiciously felt like a tongue slid with agonizing slowness up and down both of her buttocks in turn.

Giving a slurp of relish, the monstrosity said with faux regret, "Oh, I'm so sorry. Sometimes I can't help myself. Would you mind if I told you a bit about myself before we start?" Kole was horrified to find herself laid against the horrible thing's body. Its head rested on her shoulder as it contorted so that Kole's legs were spread against it.

"How wonderful, mmm?" It ran its tongue up Kole's cheek - This time, regarding her face. "My name is Guhkyo, a member of the terrorist sect Myk'jherr. I suppose you've never heard of us on Earth...Well, that suits us just fine. You see, my pale-eyed beauty, we're a secretive lot." While he spoke, Kole got a hunch of something - Did he just call her eyes pale?

The horrendous creature known as Guhkyo went on to say, "That crystal you absorbed was going to go through an extensive process to excite its atoms. Thus, it would be made into the perfect fuel for a bomb." He stopped to roll Kole's body around atop himself. Guhkyo purred, "My, you feel so delightful, little one. I'll be sure to enjoy all you have to give me. This will be a long night for you." The sun was still high in the sky. Kole began to get an idea...

Unable to notice the slight glow Kole gave off, Guhkyo went on to say, "Luckily for us, somehow, your abilities excited the crystal greatly. Now, we just have to remove it from you and we'll have what we came for. Seeing as how I will have accomplished it, I may be...Rewarded by the Mistress." He groaned in delight, bucking Kole atop him. Kole felt a pair of tendrils come around her chest, but stayed focused.

Even as Guhkyo's tentacles proceeded to nuzzle and toy with her small breasts, Kole remained focused on her plan. Guhkyo continued with his rambling. "When we discovered that the cargo of that bastard Jha'kurst's ship had been drawn here by unknown forces, I used my other abilities to investigate by influencing the sorceress's mind. I would have loved to get closer to her than just that dream...But it was a delightful show, in any case.

"Now that we have you, we have all we need to build our weaponry. Hmmm..." Guhkyo sighed. "I wish I could spend more time with you, but unfortunately, there's not much time before the excited crystal settles into its permanent, hardened form. We have to make this quick..." He cackled, beginning to lay himself down flat.

Yet he yelped at an incredibly-hard fist crashing into his face. Stood up, Kole briefly took an inventory of her new crystallized form. It resembled her original crystal greatly, but now had several lines of pale silver-blue jetting down her limbs.

It would probably be inconvenient if this form would always magnify her anger and violent urges like it was now. Also, Kole could feel herself settling back into an immobile state.

"Alright," she breathed to the still-reeling Guhkyo, "I hope you don't mind if I take this chance to repress the memories you've left me."

Regardless, this form's mobility would be all she needed to take care of this wretch.

With a howl of anger, Kole was upon him.

...

By the time the others reached the beach house, they found a still-nude Kole wrapped in a blanket, held by Jinx, who tried to comfort her. Meanwhile, a faintly-twitching mass of gray flesh lay prone on the floor. As it turned out, Kole had been screaming in rage while beating Gyuhko, and Jinx woke up in time to cheer her on.

After Jha'kurst reiterated to the other girls what Guhkyo had said about himself to Kole, he knelt down to take a closer look. "I see now," Jha'kurst murmured over Guhkyo's immobilized form. "Your friend's abilities involving crystals were naturally receptive to the crystal that she picked up. It was chaotic, but the crystal has fully bonded with her." He got up and moved away. "I don't know how this will change her powers...But at least Guhkyo is incapacitated."

He spun around at an abrupt cackling. "Nooot quite." Though crumpled, leaking a transparent purple blood, and with three of his eyes closed tightly shut while also profusely bleeding, Guhkyo was hauling himself upright. Without warning, a mass of oblique, rippling gray energy formed around him. The field grew a number of wriggling tendrils that wrapped protectively around his frame.

To the shock of all the girls, they immediately recognized that kind of energy. Before anything could be done, Guhkyo was disappeared. With a tired sigh, Jha'kurst looked to the girls. "After this failure, Guhkyo's masters will kill him the minute he sets foot into their domain. He'll probably seek out his other allies for medical attention."

It was a tense next few hours, but Jha'kurst tried to reassure the girls that nothing would happen in the night. Something about how moving in unfamiliar terrain at night was too foolhardy for the Myk'jherr.

Although Jha'kurst kept watch, no one slept peacefully.

Least of all Raven.
