Chapter 3: Yin and Yang
Romance Breeding: I agree that it's WAY too soon for any love making Lemons to happen right now. There needs to be plenty of relationships growing before something like that happens. And with the traumatic life she has lived, only to be mutated into a new life form, Raiko will need some time before something like that happens. She may have been an animal, but she is a person now. And she is having feelings and emotions she has never felt before. But, even so, I'm looking forward to when she and V get together. It will be so beautiful and romantic. I'm still curious if her mutation fixed her c-section? Can she have children now? I feel like she deserves at least that. I never saw She-Ra, so I have no idea what you mean. HOWEVER, I am really excited and curious about Ebony and Ivory. Are they the Shadow and Bone evolutions of the Maneater shark? And with their appearances, will one of them have an amazon body, while the other will have a petite body? So many questions!
ThermalsniperN7: That is very true. Hm... Yeah. I think Raiko deserves her C-section being fixed.
Dragon Emperor0: That's the thing though, SHE didn't get one. She was C-sectioned from her mother. Big difference. So she has no issues regarding her reproductive capabilities whatsoever.
ThermalsniperN7: Must've been misinterpreted, then.
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah. Also—NO SPOILERS!
Kaiju Avenger: Well, I called it Kaiju because that's what it looked like to me. All radioactive, dorsal spikes, and shooting a laser from her mouth. Kinda like Godzilla! I'm sure the proper name will be revealed later, but I agree that Kaiju fits the new evolution well. So, will V have a harem of 4 shark girls, involving all the 4 evolution lines of the Maneater shark? Raiko- Bio Electric. Ebony- Shadow. Ivory- Bone. What would you name the 4th shark girl? And would she look more like a mermaid than the others?
Dragon Emperor0: Her name would be Kujira and we're not sure yet.
ThermalsniperN7: Work in progress.
Story Artist:Will you have anything from "Mutants in Manhattan" added into here too? Because I can see the Utrom Shredder become the Super Shredder of that game. Also, if the Turtles are in this story, how will they and their friends fit in here? Will V and his girls find themselves going to New York, or will the Turtles travel to Night City to fight the Foot?
ThermalsniperN7: The Turtles will likely travel to Port Iris to fight the Foot there.
Dragon Emperor0: Most likely to visit Arasaka, since the two are working together.
-V's house-
Raiko slowly woke up after suddenly passing out the previous night to the morning sun shining through the window. And also soon took notice of the fact that something—or rather—someone, was sandwiched in between her breasts face first. Looking down, she blushed profusely when she saw V using her breasts as pillows. Then she felt her head throb.
'I drank too much last night…' She groaned internally. V slowly began to wake up and as he did, he didn't seem at all surprised about the position he was in, and made no moves to change it. This seemed to make Raiko blush even more.
"Mornin', Raiko." The man said.
"G-Good morning V." Raiko stammered as she let him go. 'He was… So warm.' She gasped mentally.
"So, sleep well?" The man asked as he got up and stretched.
"Yes…" She nodded nervously as she got up and then slowly started to remember what happened the previous night. 'I… Actually did that?!' She yelled mentally as she recalled taking her top off and making out with V, causing her face to become a shade of purple rivaling a grape.
The green haired woman quickly went over to the bathroom sink to cool herself off by splashing some water on her face. Though as she did so, V slowly put his arms around her midsection and gave her small and light kisses on her neck. His chest pressed up against her bare back.
"It's okay. I'm not mad." He told her comfortingly.
"But how could you not be mad at me? I'm… I'm not a girl you'd want. I'm not human, no one wants me, no one ever has." She told him sadly, remembering all the hatred she had to endure from other animals, humans, and even from her own species. Even before she became the Maneater.
"Ssshhhhh. None of that is true." V said as he shushed her, feeling a desire to take her loneliness away.
Raiko's eyes started to tear up as she turned around and looked at him, before he lifted her chin up and kissed her softly on her lips, making her eyes widen before they slowly closed as she melted into the kiss with a pleased moan. Her body turned into electro-charged-puddy in the soldier's hands.
After a moment of kissing, they separated, and Raiko looked much happier than she was when she first arrived. Likewise, V had a look in his eyes that suggested he felt like the luckiest man alive.
"I love you, V my darling." The woman said softly as she buried her head in his chest.
"The feeling's mutual… Raiko." V replied just as softly as he held her close.

Meanwhile in Saltlick City, the two female figures from earlier walked out of a local Ripperdoc's clinic in new sets of clothing, finally revealing what they looked like.
The first of the two was a tall woman of 7'3" with grey skin and short white hair that was in a pixie cut. She wore a whitish grey vest that showed a bit of her DD-cup cleavage, grey pants, and black boots.
She also had glowing yellow eyes. The real eye catcher was the bone plating on her arms and a bone covered shark tail protruding from her tailbone that looked painful to get hit by. Her form suddenly flickered, making her look like a buff human version of her true self. This human form was possibly biracial in appearance.
She also had various implants like basically everyone had in this Cyberpunk age, however hers were very basic. Lastly she also had what looked to be a fan shaped great sword on her back that was wrapped in bandages.
The second was a girl who was probably at best on 5'7" with shadow armor all over her lilac colored skin which offset her red eyes in a segmented headdress. Her hair was long and in a ponytail, being black and purple in color. She also had a pair of sharp black fins on her arms and legs. Her figure was rather small and petite, having a AA-cup to B-cup rack with the rest of her curves going elsewhere. Though what was the real kicker was her Fang-like teeth and clawed hands.
Her attire consisted of a short-sleeved purple and black leotard with pointed shoulders and a high collar. She sported long, black gloves which covered her pinkies and ring fingers. Her outfit also had a large cut-out which exposed part of her back and sides, and wore similarly coloured pants underneath with black, high-heeled boots reaching to her ankles. Lastly she also had on a black cloak that seemed almost mist-like.
"Hey Ebbs, be honest with me." The tall shark woman said, turning her head around to look at her muscular posterior. "Does this holo projection make my butt look big?" She asked.
"Hmm…" The shorter shark woman hummed. "Nah. You're fine." She shrugged.
"You sure?" Her companion asked as they walked.
"Ivory, my darling sister, if that wonderful derrière of yours were any larger, you'd have to register it as a lethal weapon." The second woman. "Trust me, you are fine." She added reassuringly.
"Aww, really Ebony?" Ivory questioned, her eyes seemingly sparkling at the joking compliment.
"Dear sister, would I ever lie to you?" Ebony replied, a dramatic hand on her chest.
"No you wouldn't, and that's why you're my favorite sibling." Ivory said with a smile as she hugged her sister.
"Only sibling, but who cares." Ebony mused with a smile before she was released. "So, where to, now?" She wondered.
"Well, I hear Night City has great housing available for cheap." The larger of the two suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." Ebony nodded. With that, they began making their way to Night City.
(Elsewhere)
V and Raiko made their way down stairs, where they saw Jackie hanging up his phone as he had his breakfast.
"Who was that Jack?" V asked as he made himself a bowl of cereal and gave Raiko a container of yogurt, a danish and a mug of coffee.
"Bad news, Mano. Captain Ishmael just called. Apparently Admiral Sparrow heard about the Maneater's escape and is putting us on high alert." The man told his Nomad friend.
"Shit!" V cursed while Raiko went stiff in fear.
"The Captain's gonna come here to give us our new orders. Hopefully they aren't anything too crazy." Jackie continued.
"When did he say he'd be here?" The Nomad asked.
"Somewhere between noon and three." The bruiser replied.
"Son of a—." The man spat as his now girlfriend continued to nervously eat her food.
"W-what do we do?" The shark woman stuttered.
"You hide when you're done eating. Don't come out until I get you." V told her. He wasn't taking any chances of his Captain seeing through Raiko's image inducer, regardless of how good said tech was.
"O-Okay." She nodded as she moved closer to him.
"Don't worry, chica, you love birds will be able to get back close again after the Cap leaves." Jackie told her.
"H-how'd you know we hooked up this morning?!" The ex-Nomad yelped with a blush.
"Because you just told me." Jackie shot back with a shit eating grin. That made V want to cave his own skull in against a wall for falling for that trick.
Raiko meanwhile buried her face into her boyfriend's shoulder in embarrassment, completely unwilling to look up as her face turned violet.
(Elsewhere)
-Arasaka Tower, Night City-
In the giant complex known as Arasaka Tower at Night City's central complex, an elderly man stood in front of a large tinted window as rain slid down it. The lights from the city below are distorted and reflected by the droplets and tinting of the window.
This was Saburō Arasaka, the quote unquote "Emperor" of Night City. He was old beyond his years, of the age 158 to be exact. Old as balls does not even begin to describe this guy.
His thinning white hair was slicked back and left his wrinkled forehead bare, showing a prominent mole on the right side of his forehead. His face was covered in old stubble and etched with wrinkles that showed his truly unbelievable age, his ears were also larger than most men in his age group, though this was barely noticeable.
His clothes were a brown Japanese kimono and a grey robe, a pair of round sunglasses also covered his grey eyes as they surveyed the city below.
Behind him, the doors opened and someone entered his room. It was three men.
The first was a muscular blond man with caucasian skin in a sleeveless black and white Japanese shirt and Yukata pants. He also had a purple Dragon tattoo on his left arm and a Foot Clan tattoo on his right, his cheek also had a claw scar on it. This was Hun, leader of the Purple Dragon gang.
The second was a man in similar Japanese garb to Hun, long black hair, and almost aristocratic Japanese features. This was Saki Oroku, or as he was more commonly known—the Shredder.
Third was a hulking mass of man who seemed to be composed of the most advanced combat cybernetics. His only human part being the top half of his face which was reminiscent of Darth Vader without his helmet. This was Adam Smasher, Night City legend and legendary hitman.
"Saburō-san, it does my heart good to see that you are well." Saki said as he approached the Emperor of Night City, who turned to face him.
"About as well as one can be at my age, Saki-san." The elderly man replied. "I assume you are here for what we discussed?" He asked.
"Yes. The device you call Soulkiller, if at all possible, I would like to exchange it for this." Saki nodded as he gestured towards something that Hun began to roll in on a dolly. "A fully operational Utrom mechanical suit. With a biological control chip." He told the elderly man.
Saburō looked at the suit in intrigue. He was no stranger to Utrom tech, in fact he had several run-ins with them and their cousins the Kraang on numerous occasions. So anything that they had would be quite useful to him.
"Hm… An interesting offer. For what purpose would you need Soulkiller, my friend?" The centurion questioned curiously.
"A sort of last resort for my own use. Recent events have made me realize that I need a backup in the event of my demise." The man stated.
"A wise Daimyo of the 17th century once said that the journey of gaining immortality is ultimately a fool's errand." The Emperor of Night City said as he had Smasher walk over to his desk and grab a briefcase before handing it to Hun. "But of course, this isn't the 17th century." He continued as he and Saki shook hands.
"That it is not." The shredder replied.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile with V and Jackie, the Nomad had his shark girlfriend go upstairs to hide while Jackie had Manny hide with her. And two minutes later, there was a knock on their door.
"I guess it's time." The street kid sighed.
"I'll let him in." V said as he opened the front door. As he opened the door, his commanding officer stood in front of him. "Captain Ishmael, Sir." He said, saluting the man.
"At ease, Petty Officer Verne." The man said, saluting him back as he walked into the house. "Chief Petty Officer Welles." He said, noting Jackie as he entered the room.
"Sir." The bruiser nodded.
Captain Herman Ishmael was a Caucasian/Israelli man around sixty nine (nice) years of age. He stood seven feet tall at the shoulders with broad shoulders, a well built physique, and hardened facial features that came from years of being at sea. His hands were large and callused, and his greying black hair was cut in a way that fit the Navy regulations to the letter and his normal land attire matched his tidy look with his ranking symbol being placed proudly on both shoulders. Lastly he had military issue cybernetic implants that were similar in appearance to Jackie's.
"Here, have a seat." V said as he pulled out a chair for his CO at their kitchen table.
"Thank you." The man nodded as he took the offered seat before his subordinates took their own. "Now, I trust that you two have heard about the Maneater of Port Clovis escaping?" He inquired.
"You could say that, yeah." The Nomad nodded.
"We also heard from T-Bug that two more mega Sharks could be on the loose." Jackie added. The captain looked at him for a second before nodding recognizing who he was talking about.
"Yes, those two were to be transferred to Site P from TCRI's custody after they finished their tests, but they escaped. Their whereabouts are unknown at present." The man nodded. "Luckily though, due to them being raised in captivity they're unlikely to become aggressive to humans. So they should be easy enough to capture." He added.
"Did they put any tracking chips in them?" V asked, only for his Captain to shake his head negatively.
"I'm afraid not." Ishmael replied.
"You'd think that TCRI would have done that in the beginning." Jackie mused.
"You would think." The Captain nodded. "But they are not our top priority. The top priority is the capture and containment of the Maneater. Once she is in captivity she will be sent to Site P where she and our newest military asset, Subject K, will be tested for combat against her and the other two sharks."
"Subject K?" The Nomad questioned. Ishmael then handed him a file that read "Naval Wildlife Organization: Top Secret". Inside was a dociere depicting genetic experiments that were conducted on a male and female Bull Shark. The father being a Mega and the mother being a shark who was released into Port Clovis during her third pregnancy.
And inside was a picture of the first born of the female's first pregnancies, a giant Megalodon sized shark that looked to have Godzilla-like Armor and spikes, a hammer shaped head, and glowing green eyes.
"Sir... Permission to speak freely?" V requested flatly. The man in question raised an eyebrow before nodding. "What the actual fucking hell is this bullshit?!" He barked. He had seen more than enough shark films to know that shit like this was designed to fail.
"Simply the next step in living aquatic warfare, trained hyper evolved ocean predators that will tear into enemy ships, metal, soldier and all." The man replied.
"You do realize that these projects never work in the movies, right sir?" Jackie asked.
"This isn't a movie, though. This is real life." Ishmael told him in reply.
"Which makes it all the more insane." V stated.
"It won't, Verne. Site P has a high amount of confidence in that." The man stated, causing V's left eyebrow to twitch in irritation.
'THAT'S HOW IT ALWAYS GOES BEFORE IT DOES BACKFIRE, DAMMIT!' The former Nomad yelled inwardly, though he had half a mind to voice it.
"But why capture the Maneater? It'll definitely turn on you." Jackie questioned.
"Because it not only has the missing bio electric strand of DNA we need, but it is also remarkably intelligent. Able to plan and act on these plans in seconds, as seen when it disarmed torpedoes with electric pulses, and sent them back where they came from." Ishmael states. "With it teaching our Subjects K, I and E to fight, we will have a full strike fleet of living weapons at our disposal. Our enemies won't know what hit them."
V could only sigh in complete frustration at what he was hearing. Sharks used as weapons? His biologist side was completely appalled by the notion.
"Let me see if I have this right: You used Port Clovis as a testing ground to try and breed an intelligent weapon, and let innocent people be slaughtered to do it?" He growled.
"Unintentional casualties of war, Petty Officer. Make no mistake, this was not our original plan." The Captain corrected, though both men were less than convinced.
"Well let me ask another question: If the Maneater could speak like we do, would you listen to what it has to say?" Jackie questioned. Ishmael looked at him in confusion, but answered.
"That would depend on what it has to say, should that ever happen, somehow." He replied. He may want the Navy's strength to grow, but he can still be a reasonable man.
"Right… Well, what are our orders exactly?" V asked.
"To keep an eye on Night City's coast, if you see any signs of the Maneater or Subjects I and E, you are to contact me immediately. Do not engage them, understand?" The Captain told the two.
"Yes sir." The two men nodded in unison. As Ishmael got up, he soon took notice of the dark spot on V's right side of his neck that was lined with teeth marks. Recognizing it immediately from his days as a young soldier—it was a love bite.
"Petty Officer Verne, did you get yourself a girlfriend recently, by chance?" The man questioned suddenly, causing V to blink in surprise at the question.
"H-how did you?" The man asked in confusion as his CO pointed at his neck on the same spot as V's hickey.
"Her love bite was pretty obvious. That being said, I have one thing to say." He said, the atmosphere becoming tense.
"That being what, exactly, sir?" The Nomad asked.
"Try not to mess it up." The captain said casually, dispelling the previous atmosphere. V then grinned and saluted his CO.
"Will do, sir." He replied. Ishmael nodded as he turned to leave.
"See you around boys, take care." He told them.
"You too, Captain." V nodded.
"Oh, and tell the Mrs we said happy birthday!" Jackie called as the captain stepped out of the doorway.
"Will do!" Ishmael called back before he fully left. The second the door closed, the two men slumped in relief.
"Okay, that was intense." The ex-Nomad sighed. "I'm still pissed about these shark plans, though." He added.
"So am I, mano. That shit's not gonna go well." Jackie nodded. About a minute later, Raiko came downstairs.
"Is he gone?" She asked as Manny followed her from the upstairs bedroom where they had been hiding.
"Yeah, he's gone. Apparently the Navy wants to use you as a test subject." V replied, causing her to let out a scared squeak and bury her face in his chest.
"I don't wanna be a weapon!" She cried fearfully. The man quickly grabbed and held her close in an effort to comfort her.
"Don't worry, I won't let them." He told her. Jackie smirked as he shook his head.
"Well would ya look at the time, sorry ninos, I gotta bounce. Got that date with Misty today." The bruiser said as he grabbed V's car keys and headed out. "Catch ya Later!" He said as he left.
This left the soldier and the shark woman alone with each other. Wanting his mutant girlfriend to feel safe, he brought her over to the couch and rested her head in his lap. Manny, meanwhile, climbed onto an arm of the couch and laid down.
"If it means anything, our Captain isn't unreasonable. He'll at least listen to you, should he find out about you." V said in a comforting tone. Raiko still seemed to be unsure as he started stroking her hair slowly and softly to calm her down. "... Wanna go outside and lay in the sun?" He asked her.
"I'd like that." The shark woman nodded with a small smile as she activated her image inducer and started getting undressed.
(Elsewhere)
Ebony and her sister Ivory were quick to find themselves in Night City after hitching a few rides from Saltlick City, and now they were in the process of trying to find a place to stay.
"Maybe an apartment? Those should be cheap, right?" The buff shark woman proposed.
"Tempting, but then we'd have to pay rent, and have other tenants to worry about that could expose our secrets." Ebony said as they walked. "Plus judging by how this place looks, our best bet for money would be in the sex industry or some other unsavory business. Not really our style." She added.
"True. Maybe mercenary work? We can get a workout that way." The bone plated mutant mused.
"True…" The shadow cloaked woman nodded before she noticed something. "Ohh, sister, look." She said as she pointed towards the coast at a house where she could see a dark skinned woman with green hair sunbathing on the beach in front of her house. She was on her stomach and the straps of her bikini were undone to allow an even tan.
"Ohh, she looks friendly." Ivory said with a smile.
"No no, use your scanner." Her sister corrected. Ivory did so and using the image filter she and Ebony had in their scanners, they saw that the sunbathing woman was actually a mutant shark woman like them!
"Whoa… Didn't see that coming." Ivory remarked in a hushed tone. "How should we deal with this?" She asked.
"Well, we can start by saying 'hello'." Her sister replied.
"That should work." The tall woman shrugged. With that, they made their way to their potential new friend.
Back with Raiko, she was busy resting on her stomach to get a tan while V was getting something for them to drink. Her breasts were flattened against the beach chair she was in and she slowly rolled over to allow her bare front to get some sun, putting sunglasses on to protect her eyes.
Though her light was soon obstructed by a large shadow that loomed over her, causing her to wake up.
"Hey there." A tall woman greeted her, causing her to yelp in surprise and cover her breasts and womanhood out of reflex. "Oh! Sorry!" She said averting her eyes.
"Ooh, beautiful figure darling, how ever do you manage it?" A shorter woman asked in a sly tone as the bio electric shark woman quickly put her bikini back on.
"W-where'd you two even come from?!" Raiko questioned in embarrassment.
"Oh, we just came into town last night." The taller woman replied.
"Uh… Okay?" The blue skinned mutant said as she got up.
"That's a bio-electric run image inducer, right?" The dramatic sounding woman asked. "Fitting choice given your natural appearance." She added. That caused Raiko to freeze in her tracks.
"... How did you find out?" She questioned, looking ready to make a mad dash for the house to alert V.
"Easy. We're not gonna do anything." Ivory told her. "Scan us, and use an image filter while you do." She added. The mutant was a little confused by her words, but did so. When she saw the true looks of the two in front of her, she gasped in shock.
"You're… Like me!" She gasped.
"Hi! Again, name's Ivory. And this is my sister Ebony." Ivory told her.
"Hello darling." Ebony purred, her almond shaped eyes narrowing seductively at Raiko as Ivory suddenly grabbed her into a hug.
"Just so you know, I'm a hugger." The woman said as she hugged the blue shark woman tightly.
"I can tell… Can't breathe…!" Raiko wheezed. Ivory noticed this and released her.
"Sorry." She apologized sheepishly. It was at this point that V came out with two drinks and paused upon seeing the two new faces.
"Who're you two?" He questioned, drawing their attention.
"Oh, well hello there handsome." Ebony grinned as she gave him the same seductive look, which made Raiko go over to him and hold him possessively.
"I'm Ivory, this is my sister Ebony." Ivory told him.
"They're shark women like me." Raiko told him.
"Wait, really?" The man asked in surprise before doing a scan on them and applying an image filter, causing his eyes to widen. "Well shit." He whistled. Though after a few seconds, a realization hit him. "Wait a minute, then that must mean you two are one of the three other pups that Raiko's mother had before she was released into Port Clovis! The one's from TCRI!" He added.
"I do believe we're missing something here…" Ebony remarked with a confused frown.
"Come inside. I'll explain everything." V beckoned, prompting the two new shark women to follow him and Raiko into the house.
"I like him, he's cute." Ebony purred as they walked into the house.
"He looks real good, for sure." Ivory nodded in agreement.
Raiko meanwhile kept hugging V close to her, not wanting her alleged 'sisters' to get any ideas as they said down.
(Later)
After a bit of explaining, V was finally able to reveal everything of relevance to the girls to get them all caught up. Thankfully they seemed to take this well, however Ebony soon took this moment of brief tension to break it by getting behind Raiko and start groping her breasts underneath her bikini top.
"Well, it's certainly nice to finally meet you, sister." She purred as Raiko blushed madly and moaned due to her assault.
"E-Ebony, q-quit it!" She stuttered as she tried to stifle her moans. V didn't know whether to stop the petite shark woman or let her continue since he found this sight kinda hot.
"Don't worry, this is just Ebbs's way of showing that she likes you. She does the same thing to me all the time." Ivory reassured her as the Shadow Bull Shark continued to grope and massage her third sister's bigger breasts.
"Well, I've heard about various methods of family members expressing love for each other." V mused, recalling the various shows of affection families showed for each other in the Nomad clans.
Ebony then looked at V and then gestured for Ivory and Raiko to join her in a huddle before they started whispering to each other so he couldn't hear.
'The hell are they whispering about?' The former wanderer thought with a raised eyebrow.
"Share?! What do you mean share?!" Raiko hissed in a low whisper.
"Come now, you know how attractive he is. Mix that with how nice he is, and he's irresistible." Ebony whispered with a grin.
"I think what Ebony is trying to say is, we're sisters, why shouldn't we share things together? It's more fun that way." Ivory elaborated.
"Because it might cause discomfort." Raiko whispered back.
"We don't know unless we try." The bone plated shark woman shrugged with a whisper. As Raiko seemed to think about this, all three girls then turned to look at V who looked at them in confusion.
"Uh, girls? What's going on?" He asked as he looked at them, before all three shark women hugged him in between the cleavages of their beautiful breasts.
It would seem that a family sensual cuddle was in order.
Dragon Emperor0: I have a feeling that Ebony and Ivory are probably gonna help Raiko come out of her shell enough where she'll be willing to have sex with V without the assistance of Alcohol.
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah, that might happen. And it looks like the Navy wants to use sharks as weapons while having Raiko teach them how to take out boats… That's a recipe for disaster.
Dragon Emperor0: All at Site P, the DLC is going to be interesting to adapt. Also now Shredder has Soulkiller, this is not a good sign.
ThermalsniperN7: Soulkiller is the LAST thing Shredder needs. The Turtles don't need to put up with that level of relentlessness, thank you very much. Also, V and Jackie's captain seems like he's a reasonable man.
Dragon Emperor0: If a bit dubious because of his dealings. And for those of you wondering about Johnny and the rest of the cast, they'll be appearing soon. But unlike in the game the chip containing Johnny's engram won't overwrite V's brain. Still working out the specifics but I think you guys will like our take.
ThermalsniperN7: Anyway, see you guys next time!
