Twice as bad
In the morning…
Genki was the first awake. Glancing down he saw Holly sleeping still in his arms. To him she looked like and innocent angel and it was the innocence that he loved. Sighing to himself and relaxed and thought about whom they were facing, he knew that they would soon run into more powerful generals. He began to think about who would most likely be in there way next. He came up with nothing on that though. He also feared he knew who the highest one was, and he knew he couldn't beat him not alone. Glancing over at the others he became more worried. The Alpha squadron wouldn't be much help and neither would the monsters. He needed another powerful beast soldier like himself. Sure the Alpha squadron had been changed into beast soldiers but they lacked the experience and power to fight a general. Knowing this his mind began to calculate what to do. *The only way to get another powerful beast soldier would be to change someone into one. But I can't change another beast soldier it was impossible…and I doubt I could change any of the monsters safely…which only leaves Holly………I can't do that to her though…I love her so much…* He looked down and closed his eyes he felt horrible and split between two things, this world's safety and Holly's. * Can I ask her to become a monster even for the world's sake? * Holly began to stir in his arms. Looking up at him she looked worried at his serious face. He noticed her and it quickly changed. "Good morning love" he said smiling. Holly smiled.
"Good morning Genki. What was with the serious face?" she raised a brow. He had hoped she hadn't noticed that.
"I was just thinking about who are enemy was. And how we could beat them…."
"And?"
"I can't take down the final two people. They are too strong for me alone. None of the Alpha Squadron have the power to kill them either nor the monsters. Even as a team they are too strong." He sighed and closed his eyes. Holly looked at him for a moment; leaning forward she kissed him gently.
"Genki we'll find a way. We have to. Can you make a beast soldier as strong as you?"
"Yes, but the alpha squadron are already beast soldiers I can use them it wouldn't work. I can't change the monsters safely…" Holly watched him, his eyes never meeting hers. She knew what he was thinking.
"Genki if it's to save my world…I'll do what I have to" he looked up at her in shock.
"Holly my mind says that changing you is the logical thing to do…but my heart say no way…" She looked at him a little worried.
"We have to save this world Genki"
"I can't risk you to do it Holly…I'm sorry…" he looked away. Holly slapped him and woke everyone.
"Genki the point of this journey is to do that. If you have to change me into a beast soldier to free this world then do it. Don't say you can't." She yelled at him angrily, this was her home. Genki stood shifting he used his wings and few off not saying anything landing in a near by tree as far up as he could and lay down.
Holly was going to go after him but both Tiger and Sky stopped her telling her no. Getting her to sit down and cool off.
"Holly, Genki said he wouldn't because he loves you. He doesn't want you to go through the torment he's in." Holly looked at her confused. The others sat down and Tiger lay beside Holly, Greywolf coming to sit on the other side of her.
"What torment Sky?"
"Every night he relives though night of pain and torture from the enemy and raping and killing. But also more then anything He wants to be human again even if he won't admit it. It hurts him that he can't live a normal life. He's only trying to protect you Holly. No matter how hard he tries he loses control of his beast side from time to time just as we all do." Everyone in the Alpha Squadron nodded. "Unfortunately our beast sides require blood to live." Holly seemed shocked and mad at the same time.
"Why didn't he tell me about this I asked him?" She said and was about to get up but Tiger stopped her.
"Stay and listen Holly." She looked at him but sat back down.
"Holly, Genki…doesn't want to face what he is…he doesn't believe he needs blood or sex ……and because he holds back when his beast form lets loose he kills and rapes. He won't remember it until days later in nightmares. He hides from the truth Holly and he doesn't want to admit to what he is. He also doesn't want you to go though that. Unlike Genki we accepted it and help each other. Drinking each other's blood and relieving desires when necessary, so we don't hurt others." Holly looked shocked, then looked at Genki worried.
"He's also afraid he might hurt me isn't he?" She asked much calmer now
"Yes, greatly afraid of that. You're his love and family now. All that's dear to him."
"I thought he was. The look in his eyes told me that."
"Go to him now and try to be gentle with him"
Holly nodded and walked over to the tree. Noticing Genki had his eyes closed she slowly climbed up the tree. After a close call she finally came to where he was and gently stroked his mane. His eyes opened and he looked up at her as she sat on the branch. He said nothing and laid his head back down on his paws. She smiled wearily and took his head in her hands kissing him passionately for a moment then releasing him. Genki was in shock when he was released.
"Why did you kiss me?"
"Because I love you."
"But I thought you were mad at me."
"I was but Sky helped me understand" Genki looked down. "Why did you tell me you needed blood and sex? That you rape and kill for it if you don't get it?"
"Because I don't want to know that I do it. I'm ashamed of what I have become." Holly reached forward and raised his gaze to meet her own.
"Genki we can work things out between us. I know you didn't ever want to be this beast soldier but together we can help each other. I don't want to be one either but I'm willing to do it if its to save my home and my friends." He looked into her eyes his holding some fear and concern.
"But your life will never be the same if I do that" She nodded understanding.
"I know but sometimes we have to make sacrifices." He looked into her eyes for a moment.
"I want you to listen to your heart and mind. And make a decision using them both. If you decide to do this then so be it."
"Alright I will do that." She smiled and hugged him, he smiled and hugging her back. Holly let go and looked down then clung to him. She just realized how high up she was. He chuckled and held her close.
"It's all right I won't let you fall Holly" He picked her up and flew down out of the tree. Landing gracefully and folding his wings up he set her down and the ground. Looking at the others he spoke "We need to get going really soon" The others nodded. Kattana had breakfast made by this time. Genki walked over and sat down getting a plateful from her and started eating. Holly came over doing the same eating and thinking about weather she should be a beast soldier or not. * I really do want to save this world but can I give up my humanity and life for it? I must for any of us to live…* after they all finished they packed up and got in their aircraft. Genki and Holly lead the group, both seemingly knowing where they were going.
5 hours later…
Genki spotted a base but instead a head on attack he told them to land 2 miles away. Hiding their stuff in a cave. "Genki what are we doing?" Tiger asked
"The base up ahead has too many fighters to take in the air and we are running low on supplies. We'll go on foot and widdle them down as we go. They won't expect it since the other bases told them to watch for air attacks" he grabbed two pistols and put them in his vest with a sawed off shotgun. Putting some throwing knifes in his boots, grabbing a submachine gun and two automatic machine guns. Once ready he waited for the others to get ready by the entrance his face serious. Holly carried a pistol and a machine gun, her dagger at her side. With out looking her said
"If you don't want to lose your dagger then leave it behind Holly"
"It'll be fine Genki" she said smiling to him she waited next to him thinking. * He's so serious now. Nothing like the happy go lucky and energetic kid he was. He's so handsome too. I just wish he'd lighten up a little…* Genki waited patently while the others got their weapons though he wanted to get moving.
* I hope we can do this like we did against Moo. We we're lucky rebels back then and lets hope we still have that luck. God help us through this * Tiger watched him carrying a pack like his brother. Golem got a bazooka, Mocchi a submachine gun, Hare a regular machine gun, and the Alpha Squadron loaded up like Genki. Genki nodded and started out after having every one where some camouflage. Moving swiftly and silently he lead the group through the surrounding forest about a quarter of a mile from the base they found some sentries. Genki took out a blowgun from his jacket loading a poison dart expertly shooting them both in the neck with out them knowing what hit them and with out making a sound. Holly looked down not liking the idea of killing or the fact that Genki seemed so good at it. Genki quickly moved on coming to the edge of the base with the group within 15 minutes. The monsters and Holly seemed tired form the 2 mile jog so he found a place to rest for their sake though both he and the Alpha Squadron didn't want to stop and ruin the surprise attack if the guard changes happened. As they rested Genki's fear became a reality the sirens when off in and intrusion. Genki went into a rant cursing the monsters and Holly where both surprised and intimidated by. Regaining himself he got a plan going splitting up in groups then went through killing soldiers who came after them. Holly despite her not wanting to kill did so out of fear. Though they had gone through about half the soldiers in the base the fatigue of the monsters and Holly was apparent. They all were breathing hard and covered in sweat, wanting to stop but Genki and the Alpha Squadron pushed them on. Finally coming face to face with 2 Generals, who were already in beast form, and a several soldiers. Genki was shock to see two at a single base but didn't show it.
"General Strum and General Numac I'm surprised to see you. I figured we'd have to work our way to you."
"Well we decided to save you the time and us the resources," Numac hissed. He was a Wurm type beast soldier who was basically a green cobra with arms and legs. Strum was an Oozaru type a large blue gorilla, who looked ready to fight. Genki and the Alpha Squadron transformed. The Alpha Squadron were all Nova type beast soldiers their fur varying in color from pink to blue to brown. The Alpha Squadron and the monsters went after Strum while Genki and Holly took on Numac. Strum gave a might flail of his arms and sent all his opponents sprawling. Tiger and the Alpha Squadron got back up the fastest but in the end even golems size and strength did little to slow him down soon they were all out cold. Holly was on the ground after getting whipped by Numac's tail. Genki came in low trying to slam him into the ground in a tackle. This turned out to be a vital mistake and Numac's fangs plunged through his thick mane into his neck. Genki froze then slowly his body grew limp and his eyes closed. Numac though him down and picked Holly up. "Take her to a private cell please and through them all in cells too." he told his men. Strum picked up Genki and carried him off Numac close behind.
1 hour later…
Genki awoke chain to the wall it was cold, damp, and dark in this cell. A harsh reminder of his past. Strum and Numac walked in both seeming to smirk at him.
"So your finally awake? Dunghall told us you escaped him and the info he told us he got from you is very useful. But we need more." Coming over he took a knife and pressed it to Genki's bare chest, as he was once again naked. "Now tell us what we want and you and your friends might just live though this." Genki thought for a moment silent Numac slowly cut into his chest, but Genki said nothing. Strum punched his stomach, Genki would have doubled over if he could he coughed up blood.
"Tell us how to alter the beast soldiers sex and blood drives." Strum commanded.
"I'm…not sure you can…we were never told how those were created…I've always assumed that it was dependent on the type and abilities of the soldier to how strong they were…"
"You're lying"
"No please… I'm not…drug me up if you don't believe me…" Numac stopped Strum from slamming into him again and they both turned to leave. "Where are my friends?" Numac turned to him smirking "They are safe for now but if you cause problems then they will be hurt and killed." He told some men to come in all Aztec types they had lots of equipment with them "Do not resist them or I'll kill your friends" with that they both left. The Aztec's said nothing but placed a helmet on Genki causing his memories to be scene again. They inserted an IV drip with a drug in both arms then placed sensor pads on his chest, stomach, neck, and head. Soon they were collecting data about Genki with their equipment.
In another padded and sound proof room Holly was busy trying to escape but after finding no way out she sat down hugging her knees frightened. Strum came in and smirked at her. Holly immediately jumped to her feet not liking his size at all. She had seen his strength in the battle. Strum came at her, easily grabbing her and holding her to the wall despite her efforts to escape and run from him.
"Now, now, be a good girl" He smirked again and forced her to the floor. Numac came in and stood by the door giving him a look then looking at Holly. Strum smirked and looked over at him. Holly gave a pleading look for help but Numac snorted amused. Strum then began take her clothes off she fought him the entire time but after fighting so much she lay exhausted and panting on the floor now completely naked. She already knew what he was going to do to her but she also knew it was pointless to fight because he was so strong that she did nothing to him. Even a kick to the groin did nothing. Strum soon picked her up she glared at him hatefully but he was only amused and soon forced himself inside her. She screamed and cried with pain tears flowing rapidly. He slapped her "Shut up Bitch" She couldn't help but cry out.
"Stop hitting her she can't help it. Your pride is so big that it's causing severe pain Strum," he said nonchalantly. Strum nodded and fucked her harder Holly fought him for a short time but was soon too tired. Strum grew tired of the game and pulled out laying her on the floor and leaving. Numac came over to her now and startled her. Sticking his long fingers up inside her. She tried to fight him but he stopped her whispering gently
"behave and I'll heal the damage and remove the pain" Holly knew the price for this but nodded and relaxed totally exhausted by now. Numac transfer his healing power to her healing her completely. Removing his hand he smiled and petted her hair, Holly moved her head panting. He took out a bottle of water and lifted her head slowly letting her drink. Holly's hands came up to hold the bottle drinking greedily. After she was done he unzip his pants then began to have sex with her. "That's a good girl. Strum is too rough for his own good." Holly didn't like what was happening but she had made a deal.
"Where is Genki and the others?" he smiled.
"Genki is being tested, we need information. The others are in there own large cell together."
"Why are you taking this world over?"
"Because we need a new home. Unfortunately ours will soon be destroyed by foolish humans who thing everything is fine but it really isn't. Pollution will soon kill the planet."
"But why take this world over, why not just mover here and live in peace?"
"How many humans and monsters of this world would accept us or even want us here girl?"
"Some would have a problem but not all would. Please don't hurt innocent people in your campaign of war" she begged more worried about her home world then her own life.
"We have no intentions of that dear girl, though the people of this world will be under our rule. We don't want them dead they are of no use that way." * Genki was right they do want to enslave the people of this world and take over * He soon became more forceful with her taking what he desired from her, but unlike Strum he never hit her when she cried from this. After he finished he picked her up and began to feel her body. She resisted him but he bit into her neck paralyzing her as he did as he wished with her. After he was completely satisfied he threw her into a dark chamber alone, with a single blanket. She held it around her tightly rocking back and forth crying. The pain she felt in her heart and mind was much worse then the physical pain she had endured. She curled up on the floor slowly crying herself to sleep.
Else where…
The monsters and Alpha Squadron were in there own cold and damp cell. They had treated their wounds and we're huddling close together. The Squadron stayed in beast mode to warm those with out fur. Mocchi cuddled with Sky crying about Genki and Holly, and just out of shear fear. All were hungry and thirst but had been given no food or water. They all soon finally fell asleep form exhaustion, Tiger the last one awake. * Genki, Holly, please look after each other. Don't let them tear you apart. It's time you use your love as a strength. *
Back in the holding chamber….
Genki was panting heavily the drug messing with his mind and body. Sweat pouring off him. Blood samples had been collected and analyzed as well as other samples. His body was exhausted and so was his mind but he continued to fight the urges and images before him. * I will never become that beast of lust and rage again!! * Determined in mind, will, and spirit to not give in. soon Numac came in and told them to finish up. They did so very soon and he took the very weak Genki into the cell where Holly was and laid him down. He soon awoke hearing Holly crying, she thought he was dead and was in the corner by herself rocking back and forth crying hard. Slowly he got to all fours and came over to her gently wrapping his arms around her holding her to him and stopping her from rocking.
"Shh… its alright now Holly." He whispered soothingly to her. Holly gasped surprised and buried her face deep in his chest shaking. He gently rubbed her back. Knowing by the bruises he saw in the dim light that they had hurt her. She cried in his arms holding onto him as tightly as she could. He patiently wait for a little while then gently sung to her making up his own song as he went.
'Don't cry my love
For I am here with you
To keep you safe and loved
For all time until new'
'I know your frightened,
And hurt but let me take away,
The pain in my arms tightened,
From this night till the day'
'I know sweet heart how it hurts,
The pain you feel in your heart,
In your soul that burns,
Will soon pass and fall apart'
'I will stay by your side,
Until you feel safe again,
If it takes all my pride,
And honor then I'll bend,
To your will and love,
That will never end.'
'All I want to do is be,
The best man I can,
For you and me,
To hold you safe in hand,
My love is so strong,
For you I hope you understand.'
"I will do anything,
In this life of mine,
To but you a diamond ring,
To take any strife until we bind,
Our lives together with love,
For all eternity defined.'
By the time he finished she was very calm and watching him. Hearing his words she felt both safe and loved. She laid her head against his chest. Smiling he kissed her forehead. "You're alright now. I won't let them hurt you any further" He arms holding her close.
"I know you won't…they…" she gripped him for comfort finding it hard to say what they did.
"I know what they did Holly you don't have to say it. Shh… I know it hurts and I'm sorry I couldn't stop this from happening.."
"It wasn't your fault… you did all you could." She looked up at him her eyes filled with tears. "Genki they both raped me…Strum forced me down…he beat on me and hurt me since his…was too big… Numac healed the damage he did but I had to let him have sex with him as payment…he had his fill then began to feel my body hurting me… when I resisted he bit into my neck………* she sobbed now* "I couldn't do anything but feel what he was doing to me…" Genki held her close rocking her in his arms.
"Shh…it's alright and I will get them for this I promise" she soon calmed again in his arms. * I feel so safe with him. Almost like I was meant to be with him. His beast form is so soothing even though I should fear and resent it…I want to be a beast like him so much now. And I can't even explain why…but maybe its cause I can protect those I love better as one. *
"Genki what did they do to you?" He seemed a little surprised.
"They ran some tests on me trying to make me a blood thirsty and lusting beast again. They failed. I promised my self I would never become that creature again and I will keep that promise." Holly smiled though still unnerved by her ordeal she leaned forward and kissed him gently. Genki's eyes closed kissing back very gently in return. Soon Holly's arms were around his neck and they were making out. Genki lay down on his back, Holly now on top of him pulling the blanket around her for warmth. Genki wrapped his warm wings around her and she smiled, and then softly kissed his lips again. He didn't ask why she was doing this but played along for now, making out with her as she wished. He hands checking his body over for wounds. Being very tender when finding one. She soon stopped coming up for air and laying her head on his big shoulder. Genki watched her curiously and smiled when he found that she was sound asleep. Making sure she was covered by his wings and the blanket he closed his eyes. * I feel so at peace when I'm with her. Destiny brought us together, and love has helped us in understanding each other. I'm so happy that she doesn't shutter at my paw. Or look at me as a creature that could kill. She's different then the others. She makes an effort to understand all people and creatures, to help them and live in harmony with them. That's what I love most about her is that sweet innocence. * He smiled and soon fell asleep.
In the morning…
Genki woke with Holly still in his arms. She looked so peaceful that he just lay still thinking to himself. * If I do change her into a beast soldier… I know she will be a very nice one indeed. She never gets angry with anyone and controls her emotions so well. I have only seen her cry a few times in life. She tries her best to be strong and not shed tears even with me. I know she wants to save this world and I believe together we are an unbeatable team. Beast soldier or no we are a strong duo. * Holly slowly woke up to Genki's soft smile. She smiled in return kissing him softly for a moment.
"Good morning Love"
"Good morning Genki" She stretched then began to stroke his mane. He smiled and nuzzled her. "I made my decision, Genki" He raised a brow.
"And what is your decision, Love?" She took a deep breath then let it go.
"I want to become a beast soldier so I can protect my friends, loved ones, and home" Genki nodded understanding. "I thought with both my mind and heart and that was the answer I got. Without this world there is no future for us together, or anyone for that matter." Once again he nodded, he saw both love and determination in her eyes. He also saw some fear but it was over ruled by the importance of the situation.
"I understand Holly. I will do as you request then. And I'll help you the best I can though the entire thing to lessen the pain" She smiled.
"I knew you would love." She leaned forward and kissed him. He returned her kiss for a brief moment. Then looked to the door growling. Holly held on tight to him knowing what was wrong. A slot opened and food was shoved though it on a plate. Rotten meat and some potatoes, some water with it but not much. Then the slot closed and the guard walked away. Holly made a face and looked away. Genki sighed and nuzzled her, unwrapping his wings and slowly got up. Holly got off him and wrapped the blanket around herself. Seeing Genki naked she blushed and looked away, she still wasn't used to things like that. Genki walked over on all fours and carefully sniffed then plate. It was now that Holly saw a large infected gash on his right thigh. She grimaced and walked over to him gently kneeling down and inspecting it. It was badly infected. Parts of the tissue in the wound were black and dead. She had no way of treating this wound and was desperately worried about him. He glanced at her seeing the worried look on her face.
"I'm alright love. I can treat the wound on my own." Looking through the meat he found some maggots in it. Holly looked repulsed and sickened by the meat. She looked over the potatoes. Finding one that wasn't too bad off she started eating it. Getting a really disgusted look on her face when finding a potato bug in it but forced herself to swallow and not look at what she was eating. Genki took a hunk of meat setting the Maggots aside and began eating it having no problems at all. One might thing he actually liked the meat, as it was raw. Holly looked away feeling ill but eating some other potatoes and a few pieces of meat. But soon she was about to throw up. Noticing her reaction to the food Genki came over to her and gently wrapped his arms around her holding her from behind. "Holly if you have to throw up then go ahead but you need to keep something down or you'll die. I know is sick and nasty but its all we have." Holly heaved again this time throwing it up crying in his arms. He gently rocked her and cleaned her face of with a towel they had given them. "Shh…its fine Holly…its alright I know you tired just relax. I'll help you don't worry."
"Genki I can't eat that I just can't…."
"Shh...just relax…if you don't eat…" He didn't finish.
"I know Genki…"
"Just try to keep it down. Don't give up." She nodded and walked back over with him. Genki sorted out the best pieces of meat and the best potatoes giving them to her while he ate the more rotten stuff. Holly slowly ate forcing herself to keep it down this time and soon felt better. Genki had finished his food up and was tending his wounds. Trying to get the dead tissue out so he could heal but failing.
"Genki you need a doctor"
"No, I just need some help" he winked to Holly's dismay he picked up the maggots on the floor. Then placed the 5 maggots in his wound. Ripping a strip of the towel off he bound the wound with the maggots in there.
"Genki are you nuts they will eat you alive" Holly was panicked. He come over and soothing spoke to her holding her close but preventing her from removing the makeshift bandage.
"Holly just relax and listen to me please. Maggots don't eat people alive. They don't eat living tissue. If the dead tissue in my wound isn't removed it won't heal. And maggots eat bacteria the cause infections. They will help me I promise. Just trust me on this please." Holly listened and soon calmed nodding.
"I'll trust you Genki. You seem to know so much more then me."
"No, I just know different things then you is all." He smiled.
"Genki can you change me now?" Genki raised a brow rather surprised at request but nodded. Holly kissed him gently. "I'll be fine love just do what you need to do."
"This will be painful Holly"
"I know love…but I'm ready to face it as long as you are here" He nodded sighing. Gently pulling her close he kissed her neck, to relax her muscles. As soon as she relaxed he carefully and quickly bit into her neck, his canines punching though into her juggler vein. Holly cried out tensing again but not fighting him. Genki gently stroked her back trying to relax her again. His fangs pumped his venom into her veins, causing her to feel really hot, like fire was in them. She gripped his hand hard scared as sweat poured off her. Soon enough venom was in her and he removed his canines licking her wound sealing it. She hugged him gasping he held her close. "It feels like I'm burning alive" he rocked her in his arms gently.
"I know love just try to relax. When your bones and stuff are reforming don't fight it, relax the best you can and let it happen. Fighting it only causes more pain."
"I'll try Genki" He nodded. Soon the pain increased and he could feel her body changing. Holly did try to relax herself and not fight it. Crying from the pain. He stayed right with her rocking her. Gently he kissed her pouring his love into the kiss. Soon she kissed and relaxed distracted almost completely by his kiss and love. She still winced in pain but concentrated on his kiss using the hardness of the kiss as an outlet for the pain. Soon her body had completely changed and Genki broke the kiss softly his lips lingering for a moment. Then he pulled back smiling to her and looking her new body over.
"You look absolutely beautiful in any form" She blushed. He body was of a lioness with a deep brown fur coat her thick horse like tail blond in color. Her eyes now a sapphire blue and her paw pads a light pink. The horns on her head were a dark tan color but twisted and curved like Genki's. She spread her wings looking them over the feathers a greenish color. Then she looked the rest of herself over before looking at Genki with a smile.
"Genki this is such a wonderful form. I see things so differently" Her blue eyes gazed into his green ones lovingly. They began to nuzzle. Then Genki tackled her and they began to play, romping around the dark room. Wrestling with her she landing on top of him winning. He chuckled and licked her cheek. Holly smiled and got up then laid down on the floor bringing her rear feet back she positioned them so her rear end with up in the air a little. She purred to him he smiled. Coming over he got on top of her and gripped her neck with his mouth then positioned himself and entered her. She growled with pleasure. They continued this for a while thinking in there minds. * He's so gently and loving to me. This form gives me a new understanding of emotions, feeling, sensations and then world around me. I now understand him so well and why I love him. I have never felt so much pleasure or so much at peace in my life. * Genki purred to her as he continued. Thinking to himself as he did. * She's so beautiful and I can see her so differently now and more clearly. I can feel what she is and know what she wants with out words. She's much stronger now and still hold the love, caring, and gentleness she always had. Together we can get through anything. We will never be defeated I can feel it in my heart of hearts. * Soon they grew tired and stopped laying next to each other wings folded up cuddling. Holly licked his face lovingly as he purred. Soon he returned the licking. He smiled after he finished she lay her head on his back and he lay his on her paws. The smiled and soon feel asleep telling each other goodnight without words.
