Part Six

Tanukichi couldn't believe what he was asked to do. Sure! Easy, right?

But it took everything he had just to hang on as the giant member as it tried to throw him every which way. And from what Riley told him about what lay below, if he fell, he'd be in a sticky situation. So, he was damn well sure he wasn't going to loose his grip.

He had to take a chance and hope luck was on his side. He inched up and got to the head of the member, then he leaned over the edge, facing the urethra head-on. It was a bizarre sight to say the least. He reached in, but he only got his hand in so far when the member began to broncho up and down violently as the artificial intelligence reacted, interpreting his intentions to shut it down.

"Oh crappp!"

He hung on tight, but the reaction to his penetration was so rightly felt, the member shaking him intensely, and he slid off the head. At the last moment, he gripped on to the legs of his track pants cupped around the shaft, leaving his legs to dangle above the floor. When it thrusted upwards, he managed to grab into its bottom portion and hang on for dear life, shifting his weight with every shake. He was literally caressing the thing from beneath, inching up and then sliding back down.

"Oh god! I think I know what's its doing! And I don't want to be here when it erupts."

Getting a suitable hold, wrapping his legs around it, he managed to shift his weight back up to the top, and moved quickly up to the member's head again, whereas he didn't hesitate to plunge a hand into the urethra canal, and grab onto something a little ways down—his arm sliding down with a form of mechanical lubricate. If Riley built this thing to exact "biological" specifications, Tanukichi mused, then he didn't need to be told what it represented. And he started to get a little afraid.

He pulled, and much like a champagne cork, he ripped the brain out, shorting out the member.

He hung on until it completely stopped. His position was undignified, a strong hold of the head of the hard polymer plastic outer-casing of this mechanical monstrosity. But his efforts paid off.

"I did it!" Tanukichi shouted with a smile. "Now, how do I get off this thing and where do I go?"

"Great! Way to go, T. You showed that thing whose boss!" Blue Snow said, her voice sounding through the chamber's speaker system. "But I noticed you didn't all the way. You c***blocker!"

Tanukichi sighed heavily. "Not helping, Blue Snow! But I'll take the congrats, anyway."

"That was impressive, T," it was Riley's voice now. Tanukichi looked up at a camera on the wall, pointing at him. "You're the first one to ever defeat it. However, I did give you the solution."

"Wait? You mean you've had others go through this gauntlet?"

"A few others, but they all plunged into the slimy liquid below when they tried to tackle with my giant friend. Congratulations, T, you're its first. You plunged deep into your efforts and took its virginity."

Tanukichi heard Kajou chuckle and then scowled.

A door opened on the far wall that had been hidden and with it came a thin metal platform that slid from underneath from a hidden slot. The platform came to rest just under where he sat. Finally, he could get off this thing and back to some normalcy. But just as he shifted his weight to get down, he felt it. A shake from the member, and a sudden warmth from beneath him, triggering some sort of back up power supply. Riley did say he built it with an artificial intelligence. But Tanukichi had pulled out the brain.

"Oh great! You idiot! You built it with two brains?" Tanukichi was once told by his father, long ago, some men got in trouble when dealing with the opposite sex, they often made rash and often ill-advised decisions with the "wrong" head. It was a metaphor for when men thought too much about sex. "I pulled out the giant member's 'brain', but it wasn't the main cortex?"

"It doesn't have a second brain," Riley revealed, just as surprised.

Tanukichi saw the pool of white liquid beneath the giant member begin to drop the "water line". The giant member was sucking it up into an unseen part hidden out of sight. When revealed, two large "balls" were seen as the goo was sucked through two large tubes acting like reservoirs.

"Ah, guys…What's it doing?" Tanukichi asked as he hung loosely from its head, watching this unexpected reaction. "I pulled its plug, right? It shouldn't have switched back on."

"Like I said, no one has gotten this far," Riley said. "Wait! The A.I. must have triggered its flow-ejection system. I thought pulling its brain out would shut it down, but now I recall I built a redundancy operating system to switch-on if an unforeseen error occurs, kind of like a backdoor. It should only have enough power to complete the programming, then it will completely shutdown."

"Complete its programming? What do you mean by that?" Tanukichi asked, wanted to know and yet was afraid to know. He had an immediate thought, and from where he was, he was in the worse possible position he could be at the moment. If the room was a giant prostate gland and the tubes acted like vas deferens in union with the ducts of a seminal vesicle, then the white liquid goo was being sucked into an ejaculatory duct of this giant member. And eventually, with enough pressure, it would—

"T, get out of there! It's going to blow!" came Blue Snow's voice.

"Wait! What? Blow?" Tanukichi replied, the member making what sounded like an overload noise.

"And with maximum impact with you in its target zone," Kajou clarified. "It's about to jizz in the face and you may not survive the blast."

"Oh god, no!"

He pushed off from the head of the member and landed on the platform below, but in mid air, the member subjected him to a massive ejaculatory blast. It hit Tanukichi with such impact that it rocketed him straight through the doorway and into Riley's operations centre on the other side.

Tanukichi flew and landed with a heavy thud, bounced a couple of times, before coming to a halt. Blue Snow and Riley stood over him in the middle of the room. Tanukichi was saturated head to toe with the white liquid goo. He moaned, but he was surprisingly unhurt. He tried moving his limbs, but fighting the goo was like struggling against the toughest glue. Strange enough, it had a certain warmth that blanketed him as he felt shellshocked. "I think I'm going to need therapy after this," he said.

Blue Snow laughed, a full blown belly laugh. "Holy shit, T, you were just whitewashed. I bet you never thought you'd ever be on the receiving end of that?"

"I would've done it, no strings attached," Riley said with a grin. Blue Snow rolled her eyes.

Tanukichi groaned.

"From unpasteurized cow's milk…" Blue Snow winked at Riley. "I knew it from the start, to dodging thrusting wall peckers with a Q&A session, to a riding giant…Wow, T. You're really coming into your own." She laughed. "Next thing is actually following through, nothing worse than leaving half-cocked."

For a partner, Kajou was just as demented as Riley, Tanukichi concluded. If they'd joined forces, people had better watch out. "Blue Snow, a little help here? I don't need to be laughed out. I actually feel like I'm going to throw up."

Riley had walked away, but then returned with a metal canister that looked like a mini fire extinguisher. He told T to shut his eyes and then sprayed the misty contents all over him. Within a minute, the goo had dissolved without any affects to Tanukichi's disguise or skin. Tanukichi thanked him as he rose to his feet and looked himself over. He found his track pants near by and they were sprayed down to remove the glue. He wrapped them back around his shoulders. "What is that stuff?" Tanukichi asked.

"When I was developing the substance, I had a few accidents, so I developed this dissolver," Riley explained, and what chemicals it consisted up, neither of which were harmful to humans.

"You could've said something from the start," he said. "Now what? What is this all about? Enough off all these games. I want to know why we are here?"

"And you deserve answers," Riley said, returning his chair in front of the large bank of screens that made up his operations centre. He sat down. "SOX intrigues me and I'd like to become a member."

Tanukichi and Kajou looked at each other, then back. "Is that this is about?" Blue Snow wondered.

Tanukichi grunted displeasure. "After all this, this is what you wanted to speak to us about? You could've just asked us before we entered this freak show. So, this was like some sort of test to see if we were worthy enough for you to join?"

"I wanted to see if you were as good as people claim and you didn't disappoint," Riley said, grinning. "Blue Snow passed with flying colours defeating all her challenges in record time. But you need more work." Riley shrugged. "Then again, you are her sidekick, T."

Kajou chuckled.

Riley's expression turned introspective. "I have a problem that I hope you can help me with me first," he began. "There's this guy at my new school that I've fallen for, he's cute, but he keeps rejecting me. But I don't know how to get through to him. Should I secretly send him flowers and chocolates, or start with the juicy stuff and start sending him naked pictures of myself?"

Tanukichi let out a short Eep!

"Maybe this guy you like doesn't enjoy grinding it with other boys?" Blue Snow said back. "Not everyone is into that. Ever think of that? Some people are just straight arrows and nothing will change that. When the Morality Laws came into effect, most people of the like were either jailed, banished or deported to other countries because their lifestyle went completely against the norm of Japan."

"But it still exists!" Riley said strongly. "And it longs to be accepted in society again. It's so difficult to stay in the closet while everyone else enjoys their lives. Long ago, people like me hid in the shadows for fear of persecution, but then society began to accept us. Now, in Japan, society has taken a step backwards, and enacted a discriminatory law against all 'unhealthy acts' that people once enjoyed. My father is an elite member of the Moral Authority, but if he knew about any of this, he'd disown me."

Tanukichi knew how Riley felt. He was ostracized for bring Zenjuro Okuma's son, a jailed ero-terrorist. "I had a similar experience when growing up," he spoke up. "It was tough, but I learned to deal with it. And I pushed all my dirty thoughts aside and decided to live a wholesome life. I wanted so much to separate myself from my past that I buried my true self all way down deep into an abyss." He was silent for a moment, then he looked and smiled at Kajou Ayame/Blue Snow, and continued, "Then I met someone who showed me the error of my ways, that freedom of speech and thought is a right of all people, especially how one wishes to love. I began to break out of my shell and I can now express myself honestly."

Granted, it was behind a mask with an ostentatious disguise, but Tanukichi figured Riley got the point. He and Blue Snow gave the other a closed hand fist bump to express their close partnership.

Riley stood up in dramatic fashion and spread his arms out wide. "That's what I wish to have, to be accepted with the same commodity, and I want Tanukichi Okuma to love me, and to share my love."

"Not going to happen," Tanukichi said instinctively. Then realized he had spoken without thinking.

Riley's face folded angrily. "And who are you to talk? You are not my love. Mark my words, Tanukichi Okuma will one day me mine! In the meantime, I have the pictures I took of his lovely body to keep me warm at night. I've already enjoyed them many times."

Tanukichi felt anger seethe up inside. "You what? You took naked pictures of me—I mean, of a student at your school without their consent? That is tandem to sexual assault. When did you take them?"

Riley eyed T for a second, then said, "When we were behind the tool shed at school. Oh, he was so beautiful, and, I never could've imagined so 'healthy'. He is well above average for his age."

Tanukichi cupped his hips. He didn't know how to feel at the moment, violated yet proud.

He gave a sideways glance to Kajou. She had seen his 'pride' at full erection when she came to his housing complex to walk with him to school. He was late and he was only wearing his boxers at the time and it had just happened to pop out of the front flap when he ran out the front door, partially dressed. She hit him, thinking he was purposely exposing himself to her. But then he explained it was mistake. She later compared the size of him to a very large radish, and even playfully humped it.

"Well, eating lots of protein will do that," Tanukichi said plainly with a degree of proudness.

"I'm going to let that one slide," Blue Snow said with a smirk.

Tanukichi eyed her, but mentally thanked her.

"I was watching you during your first challenge and saw you strain as you attempted to defeat my chastity belt stimulator, it got me excited. As Blue Snow said, the goblet was filled with unpasteurized cow's milk and not what you thought it was. All you had to do was drink and do those two exercises and you wouldn't have been subjected to your punishment."

Tanukichi resolved himself to it, then said, "Getting back to the student, I spoke to him just before we ascended to your mansion and he's asked me to tell you to leave him alone."

"How dare you dictate to me what I can and can't have!" Riley suddenly became aggressive. "You'll rule the day you make an enemy out of me! I had hope things would be different, but now I know SOX is not worthy of my enrolment. You claim to be prevailers of justice and freedom, but you're nothing more like the moral authorities. I will have what I desire!"

"Whoa! Chill, dude!" Tanukichi said, with his hands out.

Tanukichi knew this was where things usually went from bad to worse. Riley was obviously psychotic in nature, so he had to calm things down. But then, it happened…

All of sudden, Riley ripped open his trench coat and let it fall to reveal a leather attire fitted to his muscular, reedy frame. Strappings crisscrossed his chest and stomach with metal circular brackets attaching them all. He also wore a codpiece. He had nipple rings, belly button rings, bicep leather strappings, thigh straps, and knee high black boots. And hung from a strap across his chest was an AK-47 rifle.

Tanukichi had wondered why Riley had been wearing a bulky trench coat, he now knew why.

Tanukichi had heard about this sort of extreme behaviour, but mostly from Kajou. It was called Male Dominatrix. There was no literature regarding it, but from what he saw, this went beyond anything he had ever seen or imagined. This was on a whole different level, even more bizarre than Gathered Fabric. And Tanukichi thought fighting a guy with a taser attached to his frontal region was weird enough.

They raised their hands in traditional surrender as Riley pointed the rifle at them.

It was now apparent that they had gotten themselves in an even graver situation than originally thought. Riley had more than OCD when it came to his actions and what he built for the gauntlet. SOX was created to educate the masses on what the government wanted to suppress. SOX thought pent up feelings of desire and yearning was unhealthy. But now Riley wanted to kill them because he felt regretted. Riley had gone far beyond what was natural and had gone straight to psychotic.

SOX was out-matched.
