Tenten bounded out of the Invictus, leaving Hinata and Fu behind her, as she hurried to meet up with High Councillor Rathus and the dozens of Ashanath engineers who were staring at her expectantly.
She was surprised at her surging confidence, having previously hated being the centre of attention, especially when there were more than a handful of people watching her. Instead of feeling the familiar crippling fear of public speaking, she was eager to get started and speaking to everyone at once was just the most logical and efficient way of proceeding.
"Hello everyone!" She called out boldly. "Thanks for agreeing to help!" she said, giving them her best winsome grin.
Councillor Rathus stepped forward to meet her and gave her a slight nod of his head.
"Please let us know how you would like to direct the teams." he said in his quiet whispery voice.
"Ok then!" Tenten said excitedly. "Gather around everyone!" She called out to the horde of Ashanath engineers, who moved forward to listen to the perky ravenette.
"You can call me Tenten. I'm the Chief Engineer on the Invictus and I'll be co-ordinating the refit and repairs. Feel free to speak to me if you have any questions." she told them reassuringly.
"Firstly I'd like you to assemble two teams; let's call them 'Drive Team' and 'Core Team', to begin removing the destroyed FTL drive and the existing power core from the Invictus. I also want the replacements prepared for immediate installation. Choose one representative from each team to report back to me with status updates, as soon as the old components are removed and the new ones installed." she said, gathering momentum.
"Next I'll need a workbench out here so that I can review your schematics for the Drive and Core technology, as I plan to incorporate elements from both into the Mass drivers." she said, looking thoughtful for a moment.
"We need the Drakkar dropships removed from the hull and moved out the way. 'Team Armour' will need to let me know as soon as that's done, so I can take a look at what makes that armour so resistant to energy weapons. Once I've reverse engineered the tech used for their armour plating, we're going to re-armour every square inch of the Invictus' hull with upgraded plating." she said enthusiastically.
"Oh and let me know before you remove that one." Tenten said pointing at the second dropship high up on the hull. "It's currently flooded!" she cautioned them with a grin.
"When that dropship is gone, 'Team Armour' will be able to repair the damage to the hull, so come and speak to me when you're ready to start." she requested.
"I'm planning to put in anti-grav tubes to replace the lift, so someone from 'Team Elevator' will need to consult with me, so we can come up with a blueprint. I want the central elevator in the assault cruiser removed and the elevator shaft widened." she ordered. "I'll give you the new dimensions for the lift shaft then." Tenten mentioned helpfully.
"Assemble another group called 'Team Defence'. They will be tasked with making the Invictus more resistant to boarding. I'm thinking anti-personnel turrets, reinforced buttresses for protection in firefights and ways of locking down and sealing sections of the hull to slow down the progress of boarding parties. Draw up plans with potential ideas and I'll review them with the team as soon as they're done." she suggested.
"We need a group called 'Team Gear'. I want you to collect the 10 sets of Body armour and 10 Assault rifles I plan to upgrade and bring them out here so that we can begin prototyping and fabricating the components I'll need. I'll give you their current locations when you come and speak to me. I'm going to need miniaturised versions of your power core tech for the armour, so let me know if you don't have anything suitable already and I'll see what I can whip up." she said with a smile.
"I need 'Team Cleanup' to begin work immediately. There are Drakkar corpses on the bottom deck and deck 7. There are more in the flooded compartment, but I want to store two of them in the med bay for later analysis. I'll let you know when I drain the room and you can move the corpses right away. I want samples of their body armour, weapons and shields, so please find me a couple of undamaged samples of each and hand them over to 'Team Gear'."
"Finally I need one Engineer to act as my consultant on your technology. I'll need to know how best to make use of the equipment you have here in the drydock." she explained reasonably.
The assembled Ashanath stared at her in stunned silence as she finished her long list of orders. Tenten frowned and clapped her hands sharply, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the deathly quiet of the drydock.
"You have your instructions, proceed!" she demanded imperiously.
The silver garbed Ashanath exploded into a flurry of frenzied activity as they dashed around, grouping themselves into teams and following Tenten's detailed instructions. She grinned and turned towards Councillor Rathus.
"The workbench and schematics?" she asked him with an arched eyebrow.
"I will have them here for you immediately." the robed Ashanath replied in his whispery voice and glided away to follow up on her request.
She smiled to herself with satisfaction, as just over 50 alien engineers rushed to follow her bidding. One of the Ashanath engineers stepped towards her tentatively and she turned to face him with a disarming smile on her face.
"Are you my consultant?" she asked him in a friendly voice.
"That is correct, Tenten." the Grey said quietly.
"Great!" she exclaimed. "What's your name?" she asked the alien curiously.
"Engineer Zanthus." the Ashanath said softly.
"Well it's great to meet you Zanthus." Tenten replied. "I want to know more about the silvery metal I've seen you use on all your ships. What is that exactly?" she asked inquisitively.
"It is an alloy of Etherite crystals and the element you know as Aluminium." Zanthus explained for her.
"Your ship hulls are made out of Aluminium?" Tenten asked dubiously. "That doesn't sound like it would be very strong."
"Adding Etherite crystals makes the metal more malleable to our tools and then the metal hardens once the shape is formed." Zanthus said quietly. "The finished alloy is quite resilient and is known as Etherium."
"The shape is formed?" Tenten asked, puzzled. "What do you mean by that exactly?"
"I can demonstrate if you wish." Zanthus offered in his neutral tone of voice.
"Great!" Tenten said eagerly. "Lead on!" she smiled.
She followed after the Ashanath engineer as it led her to a large machine on a pivotable arm with three large emitters on one end. At the other end there was some kind of sensor array next to a floating display that was currently blank. She looked at the equipment, trying to figure out what it was exactly.
"We call this device a Psi-Shaper." Zanthus murmured.
Zanthus stopped in front of the machine and grew still, closing his eyes and looking like he was concentrating. Another nearby robotic arm swung into action, rotating around and then sinking downwards, as it moved to pick up a block of silvery material from a nearby stack. The arm rotated back towards them and then carefully placed the silvery metal near the elaborate machine. The arm with the emitters pivoted into place and loomed ominously over the block of metal.
"What form would you like me to shape?" Zanthus asked softly.
"Oh something simple. How about a section of armour plating?" Tenten said, thinking about how she was most likely to need to use the device.
Zanthus turned back towards the Psi-shaper and closed his eyes, concentrating intently. The sensor array seemed to be swathed in a green glow and the display began to list numerous alien glyphs before finally showing an image of an armour plating section. The three large emitters began to glow with an ethereal green radiance and the block of silvery metal rose off the ground and began to flatten and elongate, moving like liquid as it oozed into the form currently rotating in the display. Finally the shape was complete and the newly created armour plating section lowered to the ground.
"Wow!" Tenten exclaimed excitedly. "That was amazing!"
The Ashanath engineer turned back to her, its expression neutral. Tenten darted over to the armour plate and lifted it up, surprised at the seemingly dense nature of the plating.
"This doesn't feel like aluminium." she said intrigued. "It doesn't look like it either." she observed, noticing the sparkling flecks that she could only assume were the Etherite crystals embedded in the alloy.
"The Etherite in the alloy makes the Etherium much denser and tougher." Engineer Zanthus explained. "Once formed into a shape, the crystal lattice within the structure locks into place adding strength."
"Reforming again is possible, but significantly harder." Zanthus added after a pause. "Twice reformed Etherium is much tougher, but the Psi-strength required to reform the alloy again makes such efforts impractical and beyond most conventional equipment."
"So if all your ship hulls are made from this Etherium, I'm willing to bet that all your refitting equipment in the drydock only works with this metal in mind?" she asked. "Oh and what was the green glow?" she asked, pointing at the emitters.
"Yes, you are correct." Zanthus said, confirming Tenten's guess. "The sensors on the Psi-shaper receive telepathic instructions from the operator, that are boosted by this machine and then directed at the metal by the emitters. The Etherite crystals in the alloy respond to the psionic waves and then shape the metal accordingly."
"Hmm. So If we're going to use your drydock to replate the ship, then I'm going to have to come up with an Etherite based alloy using the metal we identify in the Drakkar plating." the ravenette deduced.
The Ashanath Engineer paused and studied her for a moment.
"This will be extremely hard, if not impossible. The only common metal we have found that is conducive to Psi-shaping has been aluminium." the Grey whispered quietly in its echoing voice.
"Well we better get on that right away then!" Tenten said with a grin.
Two Ashanath engineers walked over towards them and Tenten turned to look at them expectantly.
"I am from the Team Gear group." the first one said quietly. "You said that you would provide the locations of your weapons and armour that you wished to enhance?"
"Ok good, I'll let you know those locations now." Tenten said and looked at the second engineer with a raised eyebrow. "And who are you?" she asked the Grey curiously.
"I am from Team Elevator. You requested that one of my group consult with you on adapting our anti-grav technology?" the alien murmured.
"So I did." Tenten nodded. "Ok then, let's start off with the locations for the assault rifles and the body armour..."
Nearly an hour later, Tenten was standing next to the floating workbench that Councillor Rathus had provided for her, listening to the plans that had been drawn up by Team Defence. They had uploaded their schematics to the displays above the workbench and she was studying them with great interest. She had been impressed so far with the Ashanaths' intellect and work ethic and the engineers had come up with some interesting ideas for her to review. She particularly liked the hidden pop-out turrets and the lock down protocol that the Ashanath had proposed and she ordered them to begin work immediately.
Team Gear had collected the suits of Phalanx armour along with the XR75 rifles, all of which were stacked neatly to the side of the workbench, along with samples of the Drakkar gear. The Ashanath had already developed a miniaturised version of the power core technology that would be small enough to fit in personal body armour, so that was one less thing for her to think about. She had sent the team off to return with the components needed for upgrading the Phalanx armour and tasked them with coming up with an improved power supply to use in the stock of the XR75 rifles.
Team Armour had removed both of the Drakkar dropships and she was eager to get started with figuring out how the sinister black armour plating was so energy resistant. The Etherium alloy, once hardened, seemed to be comparable in strength to the reinforced titanium that was typically used in Terran hulls and armour plating. She had therefore given the go ahead for that team to begin repairs to the bored out section of the hull, fixing the damage the Drakkar had done with their breaching charges.
The sudden reappearance of the Raptor Gunship swooping and diving above her head, reminded her that she would need to allocate a team to look at upgrading the power core in the gunship too. She wanted to add stronger shields to the Raptor, as well as replate it once the Invictus had been upgraded. The sleek and deadly looking craft executed some daredevil manoeuvres at the hands of Fu, Hinata's new protégé pilot and Tenten then noticed that Naruto and Hana had just been dropped off at the drydock too. Her attention was drawn back to the plans of Team Defence by some more questions and when she looked up again, Naruto, Hinata and Hana were walking arm in arm back to the Invictus.
"Hey guys, wait for me!" Tenten called out to them and they turned to wave at her.
The ravenette grinned excitedly, knowing full well what the trio were likely to get up to and began to walk over to join them.
"Tenten, we are about to begin examination of the Drakkar armour plating. Would you care to join us?" One of the engineers from Team Armour asked her quietly.
Stifling a yawn, she turned towards the Ashanath Engineer nodding enthusiastically.
Several hours later at approximately 4am Terran standard time, Tenten tiptoed wearily into her own bedroom. She didn't want to disturb the others who were all likely to be fast asleep, so she decided to sleep in her own quarters for the very first time. Fu had come to see her a couple of hours ago when the Nymph had finished having fun in the Raptor gunship, to see if she had wanted to come to bed too. Tenten was in the middle of her analysis of the Drakkar armour at that point though and had been reluctant to leave until she had finished. Fu had given her a passionate kiss goodbye which had caused quite a stir amongst the Ashanath engineers.
Tenten flopped down on the bed, her mind turning over how she was going to incorporate the new hyper warp drive technology into the assault cruiser's mass drivers. Upgrading the power core was going to have huge immediate benefits and would allow for much faster firing, tripling the fire rate of the massive rail guns. She was convinced she could use the Tachyon field technology from the new FTL drive to enhance the speed and potential impact of the shells, but she realised she'd probably need to look inside the mass driver barrels at the magnetic rails themselves to check her theory. It was likely to be a very dirty excursion indeed and she sighed despondently at the thought of crawling through the long maintenance tunnels.
Next she began to turn over the armour plating conundrum in her mind. Taking apart the Drakkar dropship had proved to be absolutely fascinating. The Drakkar dropship technology was fairly basic and offered no new improvements, but their armour was significantly more advanced than anything she had seen or heard of before. She strongly suspected that there was no way the relatively primitive Drakkar had come up with something so advanced, which begged the question of where did they get the technology from?
The oddly gleaming black armour was mildly reflective, immediately dissipating nearly a quarter of the strength of incoming energy based attacks like laser beams. What seemed to make the armour so effective was the mysterious element in the alloy, that allowed energy to be absorbed and channelled via a complicated hexagonal webbing matrix built into the plating and then funnelled into awaiting capacitors. These absorption properties were what really sapped the strength of incoming energy attacks.
This technology meant that laser weapons were striking at approximately 20% of their normal effective strength. The energy absorption also had the added benefit that when the armour was hit by energy attacks, the surges of power could be redistributed to other systems in the ship. There was a risk of overloading the capacitors if they absorbed too much energy too quickly, but Tenten reasoned it was better that than some beam weapon slicing your ship in half.
The Ashanath were familiar with the mysterious element, their word for it roughly translating into Onyxium. This element was so rare however, that it was unknown to the Terran Federation. The few sites in Terran territory where it had previously existed, had already been harvested by the Ashanath, back during the time when the Ashanath Collective claimed ownership of all the present day Terran systems. The Greys had found no practical application for the element so far, but they had stockpiled the incredibly rare metal out of curiosity and novelty value.
Tenten had tasked High Councillor Rathus with gathering as much of this element as possible, so that she could work on an alloy that would combine Onyxium with the Etherite crystals. Harnessing the psychic conductivity of the Etherite crystals, was the only way that the Ashanath shipyards would actually be able to fit the armour plating to their hull. Her head throbbed with a mild headache and the ravenette rolled onto her side and tried desperately to fall asleep.
She napped for about an hour before waking with a start, feeling inspired. Tenten had taken a quick look at the portable shields the Drakkar had been carrying and she had discovered that the shields contained a powerful magnetic field emitter that deflected incoming ballistic rounds. She leapt out of bed, eager to test her theory that had come to her in her sleep. She still felt tired, but the headache had gone, so she darted out of the room and padded down the corridor to the lift, creeping along quietly so that she didn't wake anyone.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes, breathing a big contented sigh as he awoke. He had thoroughly enjoyed himself with Hinata and Hana last night and seeing them together had been tremendously exciting. He wondered to himself why he had found it particularly thrilling seeing those two together, having watched all four girls playing together before. He thought about the way the different girls interacted with each other and realised that although all of the women were very close with each other, only Hana and Hinata seemed to have such a strong lustful connection between them.
Tenten and Hinata were obviously very close to one another, but that was a connection that had a strong foundation in friendship, after their many years spent growing up together on the Karron asteroid. All three of the teenagers were extremely fond of Fu and she clearly felt the same way about them too, especially after they had saved each other's lives in the heat of combat. Naruto realised that truth be told, Fu was so totally besotted with him, it eclipsed her having such a strong connection with any of the other girls. Well at least so far, he mused.
Perhaps it was the thought that Hana and Hinata were strongly attracted to each other, enough that they could be lesbian lovers, combined with the fact that he could join in with them at any time to 'straighten them out' was what he found so enjoyable. Either that or it was simply because the beautiful bluenette and gorgeous brunette looked so aesthetically pleasing together, with their contrasting skin tones and hair colours.
He grinned to himself, thinking just how insanely lucky he was to be able to pose this intriguing question to himself. He looked down to check on the girls and saw Hinata looking up at him with a coy smile on her face. She winked at him seductively, letting him know she had heard his entire train of thought and thoroughly approved.
Naruto stifled a happy laugh, but was then surprised to not see Tenten when he looked over Hinata's shoulder. He had been expecting to see the ravenette snuggled under the covers behind the bluenette in her customary spot. He looked to his left and smiled when he saw Hanara with Fu curled up behind her, anticipating seeing Tenten as well, but he only saw an empty place on the bed behind the Nymph.
*Where's Tenten?* he thought to Hinata.
*Currently outside, talking to the Ashanath engineers.* Hinata replied faintly in his mind.
*Your thoughts are still very quiet.* he informed the bluenette girl helpfully.
Hinata frowned, with concentration. *How's this? Any better?* she thought, her voice sounding crystal clear in his mind.
*Perfect! Just like you!* he grinned exuberantly.
*You just like being able to corrupt this poor little lesbian.* Hinata teased him playfully.
*You bet your ass I do!* Naruto replied happily.
*Sounds like fun.* he heard clearly in his head. *It's been a while since you stretched me out back there...* Hinata mused, glancing over her shoulder at her firm little bottom.
*Definitely, but I have other plans for this morning.* Naruto sighed regretfully.
*Ah the truly vexing decision of who to plunder out of your harem. You have my sympathies.* the bluenette girl grinned at him with a sparkle in her light purple eyes.
Hana and Fu began to stir, looking up at him as soon as their eyes opened.
"Good morning ladies!" Naruto said cheerfully.
"You're in a chipper mood this morning." Hana said with a smile.
"It's because I had the love of two very good women last night!" Naruto chuckled happily.
His good mood was contagious and the other girls joined him in his laughter.
"I say two very good women, because the other two naughty girls were conspicuously absent!" Naruto said airily.
"I'm very sorry master!" Fu apologised profusely.
"And what life or death reason did you have for not satisfying your master last night?" Naruto asked in a mock stern voice.
"I was having too much fun in the Raptor." Fu admitted shamefacedly.
"That's a good enough reason for me honey." Naruto said gently, smiling at her affectionately.
Fu grinned with delight and clambered over Hana to launch herself at Naruto for a hug, much to the brunette's amusement.
"Oh you! I thought you were serious for a moment there Naruto." Fu said, giggling with relief as he hugged her tightly.
"No, I'm really pleased you've been enjoying yourself." Naruto said honestly. "But try and come to bed with the others, I miss you when you aren't around." he admitted.
Fu sighed happily, looking up at him with unbridled love in her dazzling orange eyes. Naruto felt instinctively drawn to that kind of blind devotion and he began to kiss Fu passionately, revelling in the exotic feel of her cool skin against his body.
*Ahem... I thought you already had a plan for this morning?* Hinata thought playfully, interrupting his thoughts and rousing him from his growing lust.
*So I did, thanks honey!* Naruto said gratefully.
He reluctantly pulled away from the excited Nymph to look at the girls in bed with him.
"Let's grab a quick shower and breakfast, then I'd like to try working on my strength training. But I thought I'd have a sparring match with you first Hana if you're up for it?" he asked her leadingly.
"Definitely!" Hana replied excitedly, remembering exactly what the consequences would be if she lost the match. She shivered with anticipation.
"What would you two like to do today?" He asked Fu and Hinata.
"I'd like to be there to watch you try and unlock your strength." The bluenette girl said decisively.
"That sounds very exciting!" Fu agreed immediately. "Perhaps you would let me teach you to swim while we wait?" she asked Hinata gently, with an eager smile on her face.
Not having the heart to turn down such a well intentioned offer from so cute a girl, Hinata nodded reluctantly.
"Ok let's get moving!" John exclaimed buoyantly.
They had a nice warm shower together, with only a few minutes spent stroking and caressing one another. They dressed quickly afterwards, with Naruto and Hana putting on their sparring gear, whilst Hinata and Fu just wore shorts and cropped tops, for quick removal when they went swimming. Breakfast was a relatively brief affair and shortly afterwards, Naruto and the three girls were travelling down to deck 7 in the elevator. The elevator chimed softly and the door swished open, revealing three Ashanath engineers who were working in the hallway. The Greys had removed several sections of wall panelling and were looking intently at the underlying substructure of the corridor.
Naruto let the girls take the lead and they sashayed down the corridor, swishing their hips alluringly as they chattered animatedly together. He watched their tight little bottoms in motion and momentarily regretted not taking up Hinata on her wonderful offer early that morning. The girls knew exactly the effect they were having on him, as they added extra sway to their step and threw cheeky glances over their shoulders. The Grey engineers stopped their work and followed the three girls with their huge black eyes. Naruto watched their startled reaction with amusement as an Ashanath giving someone a wide eyed stare was quite something to behold.
Their group strolled up to the gym, noting the remarkable clean up job done by the Ashanath maintenance teams. All evidence of the Drakkar incursion into the ship had been removed and even the bullet impacts on the walls outside the engineering bay had been repaired seamlessly. Naruto pressed the button to open the door into the gym, flinching as it opened, just in case the room was still flooded. However the gym looked completely back to normal. The water had been drained and any extra moisture evaporated, with no sign of the Drakkar raiders to be seen. The industrious Greys had even patched the gaping hole in the hull and finished the work with such finesse, that it was impossible to tell that any damage had been done to the ship in the first place.
He nodded appreciatively and then the group paired off, with Naruto and Hana heading towards the mats to begin stretching, while Hinata and Fu removed their clothes and stepped into the shallow end of the pool.
Hinata was tentative at first, but Fu was wonderfully reassuring and the Nymph gently coaxed the bluenette girl into the crystal clear water.
"You're very brave Hinata." Fu complimented her with an encouraging smile.
"It's because I trust you." Hinata said, returning the smile.
Fu sighed happily and then turned around offering Hinata her back to cling on to.
"Climb on like before and I'll let you get used to the feel of swimming in water." the green skinned girl said, as her arms and legs rippled, aquamarine fins pushing out fluidly.
Hinata clung to Fu's dark green back tightly as the Nymph sank lower into the water and then began to swim in lazy circles around the pool. Hinata couldn't help but laugh happily at the unfamiliar and fun sensation of the water rushing past her body. She began to relax a little and feel a little more confident in the water.
Fu came to a stop by the side of the pool and Hinata hung on to the side as the green skinned girl explained what she had planned for them next. Nodding her tentative agreement to the plan, the nervous bluenette girl came over to embrace the Nymph who confidently leaned back to float in the water, her arms and legs moving effortlessly as she kept the two of them afloat. She began to swim around the pool in an unusual combination of an inverted breaststroke and backstroke.
Hinata was a little less supported than before, but she still felt and saw Fu's supportive presence beneath her. She began to use her arms and legs in the strokes that Fu had suggested and very soon she felt herself swimming through the water under her own steam as Fu submerged completely. After a lap of the pool, she swam to the edge, her face triumphant as Fu reappeared above the surface of the water with nary a splash.
"I did it!" Hinata exclaimed with delight.
"You did very well!" Fu smiled back at her, proud of her student.
They embraced happily and then turned to watch Naruto and Hana who had begun to fight.
Naruto and Hana had begun the sparring session with a lengthy series of stretches, to make sure their bodies were nicely relaxed and to make it less likely either of them would strain a muscle. Naruto couldn't help but steal salacious glances at the gorgeous young Latina, particularly when she bent at the waist to begin stretching her hamstrings.
"Patience..." he reminded himself. "Remember the lesson you're teaching her today." he chastised himself.
Eventually they had finished their stretching routines and they moved across the mat to square off against one another. They bowed respectfully to one another and then the sparring match was on.
Naruto danced around with excessive showmanship and began monologuing.
"Do you remember we discussed the consequences of this bout if you lose?" he teased Hana playfully.
"You wanted to be taken by a strong man, who claimed the spoils of victory." he stated, watching the brunette get distracted by his lewd comments.
The Latina was about to make some playful retort when Naruto darted forward, scooping her up in his strong arms and then bringing her down to knock the wind out of her. Hana gasped for breath, but was not seriously harmed.
Naruto casually flipped the beautiful brunette over on her front and pulled off her tight fitting leggings. Hana was too stunned to react as he reached into his pocket to produce a tube of lube, which he eased into her snug little rosebud and then squeezed, sending cool lubricated gel shooting into her back passage. She gasped in shock at the cold sensation shooting into her bowels and then grunted with surprise as Naruto pinned her down on the mat, lying with his weight on her and holding her arms out in front of her. She let out a long piercing shriek as he then smoothly pushed his entire cock up her deliciously tight little ass.
Totally restrained by the much heavier man above her, Hana could only groan as Naruto eased back and then pushed forward, loving the feel of her taut round buttocks as he pushed into them firmly.
"Now what lesson did you learn today?" he whispered into Hana's ear as he buggered her smoothly.
"That you feel absolutely huge in my ass?" Hana groaned helplessly.
"That's probably true, but not the answer I was looking for." Naruto said as he lunged forward, grinding Hana into the ground mat.
"Ahhh! Fuck!" The Latina groaned as her yielding body was forced to stretch to accommodate his enormous shaft.
"If someone is talking in a fight, they are distracted." he explained as he ploughed her perfect little rump.
"You should have attacked while I was teasing you, but instead you decided to banter and then left yourself exposed." he continued thrusting in hard as he finished his sentence.
"I'm sorry Naruto." Hana moaned apologetically as he began to build up a steady pounding rhythm.
"That's ok, it's far better to lose against me and learn from the experience, than lose in a real fight." he said, panting a little.
"If you lose against me, you will just get stretched." he said, punctuating the word with a rotation of his hips. "Not lose your life." he continued.
"I'll do better." Hana promised him and then she bit her lower lip to keep from crying out with excitement.
"Not too much better I hope." Naruto whispered lasciviously in her ear as he began to really assfuck the beautiful brunette.
Hana tilted up her hips so he could really go to town on her and she grunted as he pistoned his shaft in and out of her tight young body.
"I thought you wanted me to be the wholesome one?" she asked him, shivering with delight as he held her down and thrust powerfully forward, making her buttocks ripple with the impact.
"I'm certainly not thinking wholesome things with you fucking me in the ass like this!" she gasped.
"There's nothing wrong with a girl enjoying being taken by her man." Naruto said in her ear as he worked his way towards his orgasm.
"Are you going to let me cum?" Hana hissed, looking at him over her shoulder as he humped her roughly. "I'm very close." she panted.
"No, I'm just going to use your tight little body." Naruto growled, the sound of slapping flesh reverberating around the room, as his groin pounded into her trembling bottom.
"I want you to concentrate on making your ass nice and tight for me when I cum." he said lasciviously.
"Then if you're a good girl, I'll ask Hinata and Fu if they'll help you out." he whispered in her ear, causing the Latina to quiver with excitement.
Naruto looked over to his side, where Hinata and Fu were watching them from in the pool. Two beautiful sets of eyes were watching his every thrust as he ravaged the teenager beneath him. He looked down at the gorgeous young woman he had pinned to the mat, as she turned her head to look at her friends.
"Oh god!" she gasped, seeing the lustful looks she was receiving from the other girls.
"They're enjoying your performance." Naruto grinned at her, feeling the urgent need to come rising in his quad.
"Show them how a good girl satisfies her man!" he groaned, before thrusting in up to the balls and squashing the brunette into the mat.
"Oh fuck yeah!" he exclaimed, throwing his head back as his four balls sent his cum rocketing up his shaft.
Hana cried out as she felt Naruto's spunk shooting deep inside her and then whimpered, as she flexed the muscles in her ass to make herself even tighter for him. Her abdomen rapidly inflated as he filled her up, lifting her hips up higher, which made it even easier for him to stay balls deep and unload himself fully.
Naruto groaned as Hana's wonderfully tight little ass rippled around him, milking him obediently, just as he'd requested. With a final trembling jerk, his balls eventually relaxed, having pumped their heavy load into the submissively postured girl held down underneath him. He slowly eased back, releasing Hana's arms from his fevered grip, as he concentrated on carefully and slowly pulling his cock out of her widely stretched ass. He then rolled to her side, gasping for breath, his heart racing. Looking over at her, he saw Hana watching him with hooded lustful eyes, her desperate need for her own release palpable.
"Girls, do you want to come and help Hana out?" he asked archly.
Fu and Hinata rose gracefully from the pool, licking their lips with anticipation as they approached the brunette, who was trembling with excitement.
Tenten winced as she looked at the charred ruin of the old FTL drive as it was carefully lifted out of the Invictus. She chuckled to herself with relief that Naruto hadn't asked her to attempt to jury rig a fix for the devastated piece of equipment. The replacement Tachyon Drive was currently positioned next to the Invictus and several Ashanath were attaching the hoist that would lift it into the hull of the assault cruiser.
The new Power Core was stored nearby, recently removed from the storage container it had arrived in. It sparkled in the light from the drydock and it seemed to eagerly await its own turn to be transplanted into the Invictus. The technical schematics for the new power core promised to put phenomenal amounts of power at Tenten's disposal, but the upgrade was going to be so huge, she had trouble believing the data on the schematics could be true.
A spokesman from Team Defence had just delivered their progress report and it sounded like everything was coming along nicely. Tenten grinned to herself, imagining how different the Drakkar's boarding action would have turned out if all these improvements had been in place. She rubbed her head where she had been shot, feeling a fresh wave of gratitude to the girls who had saved her life.
The modifications to their rifles and body armour were coming along nicely, the Ashanath assigned to the tasks throwing themselves into the work with gusto. She glanced over at the team of engineers working at a frenzied pace as they laboured on the weapons and armour. She estimated they would have upgraded the entire set by this evening and she nodded approvingly.
She had sent off Engineer Zanthus to act as a runner and inform Naruto and the girls to take whatever they needed from the upper decks of the Invictus, as the engineers were about to remove the elevator. Tenten would have gone to let them know herself, but there were just too many things that needed her personal oversight.
The Ashanath had transferred every last gram of Onyxium that they had to the drydock. It now awaited her stacked near to the Psi-shapers, in dozens of sturdy containers alongside a substantial supply of Etherite crystals. Tenten was toying with the idea of using Titanium instead of Aluminium in the alloy, but coming up with the exact combination of elements that would fuse the mix together was proving elusive. Still, she was so confident she could accomplish the task, she had asked the Ashanath to start stripping the old Titanium armour plating from the assault carrier's hull.
She had been putting off the trip into the maintenance tunnels, making sure everything else was proceeding smoothly, but it looked like she had run out of excuses. At least they would be able to begin work on the upgraded mass drivers, once she had confirmed that her plans for the weapon were viable, she thought optimistically. She skipped off towards her workshop with an added spring in her step.
Naruto sighed happily as he got dressed. He felt wonderfully relaxed after cumming so hard and then watching Hinata and Fu lapping away at Hana as she screamed out her orgasms, had been a glorious sight to behold.
Fu sat comfortably, stroking her hugely swollen belly contentedly, as the glowing viridian lines pulsed outwards from her stomach and spiralled out across her luscious green body. She looked up at Naruto and smiled happily at him, relishing being able to carry his load in her stomach.
Hinata glided gracefully across the mats and walked over to pick up the clothes where she and Fu had dropped them before they entered the pool. Naruto admired her pert little bottom as she walked away and he wondered about raising the idea of self defence classes for all the crew. The beautiful bluenette laughed at his lewd thoughts and the melodic sound echoed merrily around the gym.
Naruto offered Hana a hand and helped the weary brunette to her feet. She picked up her discarded clothes and got dressed with an amused smile on her beautiful face. Hana was back to her slender athletic figure now, after Fu's enthusiastic assistance and she stretched her arms above her head sighing happily as she stood beside him.
"Great sparring session." she complimented him with a lopsided grin.
"It certainly was!" Naruto agreed with her enthusiastically. "You girls have been teasing me for days and it was nice to do something about it!" he said, his eyes sparkling with delight.
"All joking aside though, did you get the point of the lesson today?" he asked her firmly.
"Yes, I understood." Hana nodded earnestly. "Don't get distracted in a fight and strike if you see your opponent lose concentration." she confirmed for him.
"Good girl." he said, nodding at her approvingly.
"Sorry we didn't get to do any actual sparring today." he said apologetically. "Don't let me get in any cheap shots next time, ok?" he requested with a smile.
"Yes Sensei!" Hana said, smiling back at him before she bowed deeply.
When she came up from the bow, Naruto gathered her up in his arms and hugged her affectionately. A tentative knock came from the closed door that led out of the gym, causing Naruto to glance at the door in surprise, unused to having anyone other than his crew on board the Invictus. He glanced at the girls and saw that only Fu was still undressed. She smiled confidently and shrugged at him nonchalantly, answering his unspoken question and then walked over to collect her clothes from Hinata.
"Come in." Naruto called out in his strong voice.
The door swished open and one of the Ashanath engineers walked in, just as Fu glided past him majestically, the glowing ethereal bands on her engorged belly casting curving light across the ceiling. The Grey's huge black eyes blinked extremely rapidly as it stared in amazement at the resplendent Nymph and she smiled at the diminutive alien coyly as she sashayed away.
Naruto stifled a laugh at Fu's impromptu exhibitionism and the devastating effect it had on the poor Ashanath engineer.
"Everything ok there?" he asked the stunned Grey.
"Oh my yes..." The Ashanath said in its whispery voice, the normally unemotional speech of the computer managing to pick up the sheer wonderment in his voice.
Abruptly the Grey managed to pull itself together and then turned to face Naruto.
"Tenten wishes me to inform you that she will be removing the elevator shortly, so asked that you collect any belongings from your quarters before then. The elevator will be out of commission for at least 6 hours." The engineer stated, passing the message on in its eerie, echoing voice.
"Thanks for passing on the message." Naruto said gratefully.
"You are welcome NarutoUzumaki." Engineer Zanthus replied, before leaving the room to return to the rest of its tasks.
"Ok then." Naruto said rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Hana and Fu, could you gather up a set of outdoor clothes for us please and then put together a packed lunch."
"Sure Naruto, are we going out somewhere?" Hana asked him curiously.
"If Fu feels like taking us for a flight, there's somewhere interesting I'd like you to see." he said with a mysterious smile.
The Nymph clapped her hands with glee and bounced up and down excitedly, somehow managing to keep her balance with her swollen belly.
"Oh I'd love that!" Fu gasped delightedly.
"Great!" Naruto said, looking at her affectionately. "Meet back here when you're ready and we'll gather up Tenten too before heading out."
The Latina and the Nymph nodded eagerly and then headed out of the door, chatting to each other happily as they speculated on what they would see that afternoon. The door closed behind them, leaving the gym quiet and peaceful, which made for a startling change after all the raucous activity so far that morning.
Hinata glanced up at him with a smile.
"And then there were two." she said with amusement.
"Two who both have abilities they need to train." Naruto replied quietly as he sank to the ground and adopted a meditative pose.
Hinata sat in front of him and copied his position. She smiled at him warmly and then they closed their eyes as they took deep breaths, slowing their breathing and centring themselves. After a few minutes of relaxation in the gentle stillness of the gym, they both felt themselves achieve a state of focus.
"Let's start with you first." Naruto suggested calmly.
"You've said that you can sense the girls' emotions and you know their whereabouts. Describe to me where they are and what they're feeling right now." he requested gently.
Hinata studied the presences in her mind that represented each of her friends. Naruto was centred and foremost in her thoughts, with Fu, Hana and Tenten positioned around him in the little sections of her mind that she had reserved for them. With a start, Hinata realised that she had instinctively compartmentalised her mind, just as High Councillor Talari had taught her and each of the presences occupied their own small compartment.
"This is helping!" Hinata said excitedly.
"Shh..." Naruto said soothingly. "You're doing really well, just stay calm and focus on the task at hand."
The beautiful bluenette girl nodded obediently and then concentrated on each of the girls in turn.
"Hana is currently in the kitchen in the officer's lounge. She's radiating with happiness and contentment." Hinata said with a smile.
"She's... thinking about how proud she'll be introducing you to her parents!" she gasped. "Naruto, I heard her thinking clearly in my mind! I've only had snippets of words before." the bluenette girl said in amazement.
"Well done honey." Naruto said encouragingly. "Now relax and focus on the others."
"Tenten's in..." Hinata paused, her eyebrows furrowing. "What is she up to?" she frowned. "She's not in any of the rooms, it feels like she's inside the structure of the ship!"
She focused intently to see if she could pinpoint the ravenette's exact location. "She's... in a maintenance tunnel!" Hinata blurted out. "An image of what she's seeing just flashed in my mind!" she exclaimed in wonder.
Curious to see if she could pick up Tenten's thoughts the same way she had with Hana, she concentrated on the presence in her mind, trying to listen for any words.
"I can hear her!" Hinata said with a happy grin. "Ugh! I can't understand half of what she's thinking though, it's all science stuff." the bluenette girl groaned.
Naruto chuckled softly. "You're doing great honey. Now move on to Fu." he prompted her.
"Fu's mosaic shows her in her Nymph form. She's looking up at the image of you and..." Hinata paused, concentrating on the happy expression on the image depicting Fu's face. "She loves you so much!"
Hinata's eyes flew open, amazed at the purity and intensity of the emotion pouring from the image.
"Oh Naruto, I wish you could feel this too, it's so beautiful!" Hinata exclaimed with a sob, a tear sliding down her cheek as she smiled happily.
Naruto opened his eyes and smiled at her fondly. He spread his arms invitingly and Hinata moved forward to sit in his lap, wrapping her arms around him. They cuddled like that for a little while, as Hinata recovered from the startling experiences gleaned from the exploration of her abilities.
"Thanks Naruto." she sighed with a contented smile. "That was really helpful."
"You did brilliantly." he said proudly, holding her in his strong arms.
Hinata felt the comforting strength of that wonderful embrace and she tilted her head to whisper in his ear.
"It's your turn now." she said softly. "Show me what you can do." she urged him.
Naruto breathed in deeply, holding the beautiful girl in his arms and nuzzling his head into her hair, feeling the wonderful softness against his cheek. He took in a deep breath, filling the air in his lungs with her wonderful scent, feeling almost dizzy with intoxication. He opened his eyes and stared into Hinata's, losing himself in her lavender eyes.
"I'm ready." he said solemnly, feeling truly at peace.
Hinata rose gracefully and Naruto followed after her. He walked calmly over to the bench press in the heavy weights section of the gym.
"Two hundred and fifty pounds." Naruto noted, looking at the weights stacked on the bar. "That's normally my limit." he admitted.
He sat down on the bench and then lay back, looking up at the bar where it rested on a sturdy steel cradle. He reached up and then took the bar with both hands, pushing up to lift it from the cradle and then moving it back an inch or so to clear the edge. He smoothly benched the weight, doing three reps before placing it back on the steel frame.
"That's normally a struggle." he said with surprise. "That didn't feel too bad at all."
He looked up at Hinata who was watching him from behind his head. "Please could you add another... 25lbs to each side." he said tentatively.
Hinata nodded eagerly and collected the additional plates, adding them to either side and locking them in place. Naruto pushed up to take the weight and then smoothly moved through the three reps.
"More?" Hinata asked him excitedly.
Naruto looked up at her and nodded cautiously. The bluenette girl moved to the rack of plates and came back to add more.
"What are we at now?" Naruto asked her.
"Four hundred pounds." Hinata said, glancing at the readout.
"Ok before we go any further." Naruto said tentatively. "If I get in trouble you won't be strong enough to assist. Just flick the red safeties to the side on the bar and the anti-grav cyclics will kick in and help me lift off the weight."
"I see them." Hinata nodded. "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe!" she said reassuringly.
Naruto reached up and grasped the bar with a firm grip. He pushed up and really felt the weight this time. He breathed in deeply and then moved the bar down to his chest and back up, wavering slightly. Confident that he still had control of the weight, he slowly lowered and then raised the bar twice more before hooking it back on the cradle.
"That was amazing..." Hinata said, moving forward to look down at him with wide eyes. "Do you want to do more?" she asked him eagerly.
Naruto nodded and closed his eyes, focusing on breathing. He heard the clanging of metal plates being added to the bar as Hinata added more weight.
"Ok you're all set." she said eventually.
"What are we at now?" Naruto asked curiously.
"500lbs." Hinata replied, her lavender eyes sparkling.
Naruto took a deep breath and then pushed up, struggling to lift the bar. He tried twice more then relaxed back.
"I think we reached my limit." he said ruefully.
"Just close your eyes." HInata said, kneeling down so that her head was next to his. "Just think how much you love me and the girls." she whispered in his ear.
"How much you want to protect us and look after us." she said soothingly. "You're a good, powerful man with girls who love you so much." she said gently.
"I know you can lift this weight with no problem. Show me why I'm right to dedicate my life to being with you." she urged him.
Naruto opened his eyes and his pupils dilated with the adrenalin in his system. "Ok let's do this." Naruto said with a surge of confidence.
Hinata's eyes gleamed as she moved back out of the way and Naruto grasped the bar firmly in his hands. He took a deep breath and then pushed up, hearing the bar creak ominously as he lifted it smoothly in his grasp. He brought it down to his chest and then pushed it back up, doing 12 reps in a smooth controlled manner. He carefully repositioned the bar and then looked up at Hinata's face as she stared at him in awe.
"That was awesome!" Naruto grinned. "let's see if I can do 550!" he said eagerly.
"You already did..." Hinata whispered. "That was everything..."
"Hah! Very funny." Naruto laughed good naturedly.
He sat up and saw that he had an audience. Hana and Fu were standing a few metres away, staring at him with their mouths open in shock, the picnic basket and the bundle of clothes lying on the floor where they'd dropped them.
"What's up with you two?" Naruto said puzzled.
He turned to look at the bar and his jaw dropped in shock. HInata had been lying about the weight alright. The bar was fully loaded with high density plates and he counted 900lbs on the bar he'd just done 12 reps with effortlessly.
"That can't be right..." he stammered, standing to look at the bar and trying to wrap his brain around what had just happened.
There was a long moment of absolute silence as everyone there stood and stared.
"Oh that was magnificent master!" Fu gasped breathlessly, finally breaking the spell.
Hinata, Hana and Fu glided up to him and ran their arms over his body, murmuring appreciatively.
"I knew you could do it!" Hinata exclaimed, beaming at him with a dazzling smile.
"You're so strong!" Hana breathed, stroking his biceps lovingly.
"You're so powerful Naruto!" Fu sighed ecstatically.
Naruto felt a moment of worry and doubt and then just thought... "Ah fuck it!"
"That was pretty awesome!" he grinned delightedly.
He swept Hinata up in his arms, hugging her happily.
"Thanks for the pep talk honey, that was just what I needed to hear!" he laughed.
The girls all hugged him, revelling in his moment of triumph and proud of how he had begun to tap into his hidden potential.
"We need to get Sparks to work on a way for you to lift more!" Hinata grinned excitedly.
"Where is she right now?" Naruto asked curiously.
Hinata closed her eyes, focusing on her ebony haired friend and trying to picture her location.
"Still in the maintenance tunnels, inside the mass drivers!" the bluenette girl exclaimed.
"That's a shame." Naruto said sadly. "We'll just have to take our trip without her." he said with a resigned expression.
He turned to face Fu and smiled at her warmly. "Are you ready to take us on our mystery flight?" he asked the Nymph playfully.
Fu nodded at him excitedly and then she gathered up the clothes she had dropped and handed them out to Naruto and Hinata. They got dressed in comfortable trousers, tops and jackets and pulled on sturdy boots.
"Let's go!" Naruto grinned as Hinata stood, putting her arms through her jacket sleeves.
They left the gym and headed down the corridor to the elevator, taking it down to deck 9 where the Raptor gunship awaited them.
Tenten crawled out of the maintenance tunnels and breathed a huge sigh of relief that was muted by the mask she was wearing. She pulled it off and let it dangle by the cord around her neck and lifted the goggles off her eyes and placed them on top of her head. Taking a look at the magnetic rails had been a grubby job and annoyingly time consuming, but well worth the effort. They showed no signs of stress fracturing and she was sure that boosting the power would not have any adverse effects. Now she just needed to get the Ashanath to begin fabrication of the customised Tachyon field generator she had designed, that would help launch the shells out at even faster warp speeds and her upgrades would be complete.
Grinning happily she strolled out into the corridor and then headed over to the elevator shaft. A couple of Grey engineers from Team Elevator were hard at work, overseeing the final removal of the soon to be retired elevator cabin. The industrious Ashanath had widened out the elevator entrance at ground level and as she arrived and looked down the shaft, the elevator cabin disappeared from view out of the doorway. Tenten hopped on one of the anti-grav pads that had been placed in the elevator shaft and held on to the security rail as she sank down to ground level.
"Everything going ok?" she asked the engineers in a friendly tone.
"Everything is proceeding according to plan." One of the engineers said, as the elevator disappeared out through the big double doors into the cargo bay, riding on an anti-grav sled.
"Great work!" Tenten said enthusiastically. "Let me know if there's any problems installing the new grav-tubes." she requested.
"We will alert you immediately if there is a problem." the Grey said, bowing to her reverently and then returned to examining the dimensions of the elevator shaft.
Tenten walked out into the cargo bay and stopped by the big elevator that was now lying forlornly on the grav sled. She looked around furtively to make sure no-one was watching and then pulled out a portable power supply from her pocket and hooked it up to power leads for the elevator cabin. Flipping on the power, the elevator chimed mournfully for the last time and the doors swished quietly open as if waving goodbye.
"You did good work..." Tenten said to the elevator proudly, before patting it gently on its side and unhooking the power supply.
She heard the approach of another Ashanath and she turned to see who was arriving.
"Tenten, we have fitted the new power core." The engineer said tentatively in its quiet eerie voice.
"Oh that's great news!" The ravenette said excitedly. "Is it hooked up to the Invictus' systems?" she asked curiously.
"We have made the connections, but have not yet begun the flow of power. Would you like us to do so now?" the engineer asked cautiously.
"It's ok, I'm going to go up to the engineering bay in a few moments anyway. I can do it from there." Tenten said with a dismissive hand wave. "I'm more familiar with the power relays on the assault cruiser, so it's probably best I do it myself."
"As you wish." The engineer said quietly, bowing respectfully.
"If Team Core is now finished, I have a new task for you." Tenten said with a big grin on her face.
"We are ready for your instructions." the engineer said softly.
"I've confirmed that the plans I've made for the Mass driver upgrades will work. When I go up to my workshop, I'll send the schematics to the workbench outside." Tenten said eagerly. "Get everyone from Team Core and Team Drive working on them as soon as they finished installing the new components."
"We will begin work immediately." the Ashanath murmured and then turned to gather his teammates.
Humming happily to herself, Tenten took the loading lift up from the cargo bay to her workshop. Everything seemed to be going brilliantly well with the refit, except for the thorny problem with the new alloy for the armour. She had initially thought that the addition of a couple of extra elements to the mix would let her create a viable alloy. Unfortunately the Onyxium ore and Etherite crystals had stubbornly refused to bond together with any type of base metal, no matter what other elements she had added so far.
Putting that problem aside for the moment, she darted up the glowing steps of the podium to face the numerous consoles that operated the ship's systems. Tenten powered off the backup core that was currently keeping everything running and after taking a deep breath, she fired up the new power core.
Nothing immediately exploded, so she let out the breath she was holding and grinned excitedly. She moved to the console on her right and pressed the button that would activate the energy distribution hologram for the power core. There was a shower of sparks and the console dimmed out as the panel was overloaded. Tenten winced and looked around quickly to check no-one else was around to see her make such a silly mistake. Of course she would need to upgrade the power regulator for the console, she chastised herself as she walked over to the component storage to retrieve a replacement.
A few minutes later, she popped the maintenance panel back into place on the console and then tentatively hit the button that would activate the energy distribution hologram. The hologram activated, but showed no power readings for the core.
"What's wrong now?" she asked herself in frustration. "We've got power, because everything else is still on." she mused to herself.
Suddenly realising the problem, she rolled her eyes at herself and then recalibrated the hologram to allow for the much larger power ranges. She frowned again as she cycled tentatively through the magnification ratings. Double, triple, quadruple... still nothing showed on the hologram, as she slowly cycled through the amplification settings.
"Ugh... what have I missed now?" she exclaimed in annoyance and span the dial in irritation.
The hologram flickered briefly and then went dark again. Freezing her hand on the dial, she gradually wound it back again until the amplification rating reached twelve and the energy distribution hologram sprang into life, bathing the console in a cheerful green glow. The energy graphs looked stable showing minimal power fluctuations.
"That can't be right!" Tenten gasped, double checking the readout and rubbing her tired eyes.
A second look confirmed it. They were now running at 1189% power, nearly 12 times the power that the old power core had been able to supply.
"Holy fuck!" Tenten swore animatedly, her mind racing at the possibilities this vast source of power now provided.
She shook her head in amazement and then gently patted the console.
"Looks like we've got one hell of a new heart for you." she said affectionately to the Invictus.
Naruto had taken the girls on a tour of the various vast canyons and floating plateau cities that covered the surface of Ashana. The girls had thoroughly enjoyed the views out over the distinctive terrain on the reddish-orange surface of the planet and they had finally stopped for lunch by a waterfall that dropped off into a seemingly bottomless chasm. The refracting light above the waterfall had formed spectacular rainbows and they had admired the crystal clear colours as they ate their picnic in the scenic spot. It reminded them of the ambush from the pirate heavy cruiser and their narrow escape through the ice fields, which had reflected the light in the same dazzling way.
Fu brought the gunship down for an expertly handled landing in a clear space near to the Invictus. Tenten's Ashanath Engineers had been very busy in the time that Naruto and the girls had been sightseeing on Ashana and the assault carrier was now completely stripped of armour, looking oddly naked without the sturdy reinforced armour plating.
Hinata, Hana and Fu were busy discussing the handling and weapon targeting on the Raptor, so he decided to go looking for Tenten. He knew that he could just ask Hinata precisely where Tenten was, but that felt a bit like cheating and he was eager to find his Chief Engineer himself. Hinata looked up at him as he departed, smiling at him affectionately as he left the cockpit and rolling her eyes.
Naruto hadn't seen the feisty ravenette all day, what with her being so busy, and he missed her cheerful exuberance. He wandered outside first to look for her, but not seeing her around, he walked over to an engineer working on an enormous hollowed out chamber, to ask for the girl's location.
"Excuse me." he asked the Ashanath engineer politely. "Have you seen Tenten around here anywhere?"
The Grey looked up from its work and stared at him with its huge black eyes. "The resplendent curvaceous genius is currently in her workshop." it said in an eerie echoing whisper, its strange alien features managing to look wistful.
"Ok thanks, sorry to bother you." Naruto said appreciatively.
He walked into the open cargo bay on the Invictus, intending to take the loading lift up to the engineering bay. The girls had left the gunship and were walking over to rejoin him.
"It looks like Tenten's making quite an impression on her new workforce." Naruto said with a smile, as they moved on to the rectangular platform delineated by glowing chevrons.
"These Ashanath seem to be obsessed with curves and rounded shapes." Hinata explained. "A tech minded girl who looks like us must be their idea of heaven." she laughed melodically, the beautiful sound echoing around the cavernous hangar, as she activated the loading lift and they began to glide upwards.
"The Greys have great taste." Naruto grinned and gently squeezed one of Hana's and Fu's pert asscheeks in each hand.
They giggled at him, cuddling under his arms, as the ceiling panels separated to allow the loading lift to ascend into the engineering bay. Naruto looked around and spotted Tenten leaning over one of the consoles on the central podium, poring over technical schematics for one of her inventions. She was frowning intently and so absorbed with what she was doing, they were able to walk up to the engineering podium before she even realised she had company. She jumped, startled by their unannounced arrival.
"Wearing orange?" Hinata joked disapprovingly as she looked over Tenten's outfit.
Tenten was wearing a set of bulky orange overalls criss-crossed by yellow reflector stripes. Her outfit was covered in oil stains where she had been crawling around in the maintenance ducts in the bowels of the assault cruiser. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and covered with a cloth bandana that was similarly smeared with grease. She was currently sporting a pair of safety goggles that were pushed up on her head and a breathing mask dangled around her neck.
"Oh hey guys." She said with a tired smile on her grubby face.
She looked at them owlishly with big white circles around her eyes where they had been covered by the goggles and around her mouth where it had been covered by the mask. The rest of her face was masked in a thick layer of dirt.
"You look like I used to after cleaning out the engine filtration units on the Fool's Gold." Naruto said with a shudder, remembering the horrible dirty job.
"Ah yeah, I must look quite a mess." Tenten said self consciously, glancing at a couple of the Invictus' cleaning robots that were hovering nearby.
"I knew it must be bad when these two started following me around..." she said, stifling a yawn.
"You're looking so tired Sparks." Hinata said with concern. "You haven't been getting enough sleep." she admonished her gently.
"I've been so excited I haven't been able to sleep." Tenten admitted wearily. "And we have so much to get done!" she said looking worried.
"Don't worry about that." Naruto said supportively. "Nothing is more important than your health. We can delay a few days if you need to rest."
"Naruto's right, you don't need to wear yourself out, I'm happy to be your assistant." Hana said with a supportive smile.
"She would feel a lot better with a warm meal in her stomach." Fu said, her face showing a curious mix of lust and tenderness.
The girls laughed at the Nymph's innuendo laden suggestion, but they nodded their approval of the plan nonetheless.
"I'd love to, but I haven't got the time." Tenten said regretfully.
"Nonsense." Naruto said, his eyes glinting lustfully. "Hinata and Hana, can you get her ready for me," he said, taking charge. "And Fu, could you get me nice and wet please." he requested.
Hinata and Hana moved eagerly to obey his instructions, ignoring Tenten's feeble protestations as they carefully removed her filthy overalls and then walked her down the steps and bent her nude body over a convenient tool cart. Hinata grabbed the ravenette's firm breasts in her hands, gently tweaking her nipples as she lifted the girl's boobs to make sure they didn't get any grease on them from the cart.
Fu looked up at Naruto with sparkling garnet eyes as she unzipped his trousers and hauled out his burgeoning cock, dropping gracefully to her knees as she swallowed him down effortlessly. Naruto stood above the Nymph with her dark green hair in his hands, gently thrusting at her full lips as she massaged him with her throat. A startled gasp coming from the three teenagers drew his eyes from the eagerly sucking girl in front of him and he smiled appreciatively at Hinata and Hana's enthusiastic interpretation of his orders.
The gorgeous brunette was on her knees behind the ravenette, spreading her asscheeks wide so that she could eagerly lick Tenten's pussy. Hinata meanwhile was sucking and tweaking Tenten's nipples and the ravenette was gasping and moaning at the dual onslaught to her senses.
"That's perfect, thanks honey." he said to Fu appreciatively, as he slid his slick cock from the warm confines of her throat.
Fu eased back, helping his withdrawal and then beamed up at him, happy to have been able to assist.
"It was my pleasure... master." she said with a grin.
"You're a good girl." Naruto said, returning her grin affectionately.
He walked down the illuminated steps of the podium to the tool cart, where the three young women were joined together by mouths and tongues. He ran his hand through Hana's thick brown hair and smiled at her warmly as she looked up at him, her tongue still buried in Tenten's pussy.
"Is she ready?" he asked Hana.
"Tight and wet." the brunette said, licking her lips salaciously as she stood up and giving Tenten an affectionate pat on the bottom.
"Perfect, thanks honey!" Naruto said appreciatively, leaning down to kiss Hana and tasting Tenten on her lips.
"I'll go help Hinata." Hana said with a coy smile, as she moved out of the way.
Naruto walked up to Tenten and nuzzled the slicked up head of his cock against her well licked pussy.
"Are you ready honey?" he asked Tenten with a smile.
"Fuck me!" Tenten groaned, as HInata handed over a pert breast to Hana and the two teens began to suck and nibble at her sensitive nipples.
Naruto held her hips in his hands and then pushed forward, sinking inch after inch into her clutching depths. Fu stood at his side and slid her left hand under Tenten's tummy, finding the girl's clit and then stroking it gently.
"Oh fuck that's good!" Tenten groaned appreciatively.
"Shh, just relax." Naruto said soothingly. "I'm going to use your tight little pussy to get me ready and then I'll give you a nice big meal. That'll perk you right up." he said with a sly grin.
Tenten held on to the rocking tool cart and sagged against the bluenette and brunette in front of her as they supported her weight, while they eagerly sucked and teased her breasts. She moaned helplessly as Naruto's thick cock drove in and out of her pliant body, nudging up against her cervix. Her body unfurled for him, yielding to the pressure and she grunted as he pushed forward with the last few inches until he was deep in her womb. She gasped and groaned continuously as Naruto fucked her with long, tummy stuffing thrusts, her receptive body reacting eagerly to the deep penetration.
"Would you like me to make her tighter for you?" Fu asked Naruto with a sly smile.
"What have you got in mind?" Naruto asked curiously.
He watched intrigued as Fu took the first two fingers of her right hand in her mouth and sucked on them lewdly, getting them slick and wet. She then smiled at him impishly as she placed her fingers between Tenten's trembling asscheeks, watching them ripple every time he thrust against them. Naruto nodded with a wide grin.
Tenten groaned as Fu's fingers circled her tight rosebud, massaging it gently to get her slippery and pliant. The groans turned into a shriek as Fu pushed two fingers inside, stretching the girl's tight anus widely.
"Oh my god!" Tenten cried out as her four lovers worked her body to fever pitch.
She began to shudder as Fu elongated her fingers and pushed them deeper inside her, moving them back and forth to match the steady rhythm of Naruto's hips. Defenceless against such stimulation, her body exploded in orgasm, sending crashing waves of pleasure over her. Her friends and lovers kept up the pace, stimulating her young body relentlessly.
Fu stared up at Naruto adoringly, watching and waiting for him to get close to his own orgasm. He surprised her when he smiled mischievously and leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"Can you take over for me?" he asked, glancing at Fu's other hand.
Nodding her understanding, Fu grinned at him excitedly. Naruto waited for Tenten's current orgasm to roll to an end and then steadily pulled out of her, causing the ravenette to gasp in shock at the sudden feeling of emptiness. He moved around the cart to stand behind Hinata and Hana who were still working over Tenten's nipples.
Tenten moaned, her body tingling electrifyingly as the three girls around her focused purely on her pleasure. She opened her eyes to see Naruto standing in front of her, his massive cock throbbing tantalisingly in front of her face.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as Fu lifted up her right leg to rest it on the Nymph's shoulder and then the green skinned girl began to lap at Tenten's clit as well. Tenten was about to open her mouth for Naruto's cock when she suddenly felt an enormous intrusion in her pussy as Fu elongated her left forearm and steadily pushed it into her tight hole.
"Oh my fucking god!" Tenten shrieked, as Fu knelt behind her and began to fist her pussy with the same rhythm that Naruto had used.
Naruto pushed the broad head of his cock in between Tenten's plush lips and she sucked on him mindlessly as she was triple penetrated. He pulled the goggles off the girl's head and removed the bandana from her hair, so that he could grip her head in his hands. He used his purchase on her sweat slicked hair to pull himself into her mouth, but his progress into her throat was temporarily halted as Tenten groaned through another orgasm, the sounds muffled by his big cock. As her climax eventually subsided, he felt her relaxing, submissive, and compliant underneath him, and he pushed all the way down her throat so that his four balls bounced on her chin with every inward thrust.
He looked down at the bent over ravenette, her body trembling uncontrollably as she was fisted by the Nymph, while her tits were being mauled and nursed by the beautiful bluenette and brunette on their knees in front of him. Content with a job well done, Naruto fucked Tenten's face eagerly as she slurped and sucked on him hungrily, desperate for his cum.
Unable to hold back any longer, he thrust up to the balls down her throat and held her face to his lap as he began to unload his cum into her empty stomach. Tenten sighed with relief as her belly got bigger, rounding out with the protein heavy meal he was shooting into her hungry tummy, long spurts of cum splashing down into her sperm packed abdomen. Eventually his climax faded away and he eased his spent cock out of the ravenette's mouth and throat.
"Good girl." Naruto grinned down at her. "Feel better with a full tummy?" he asked with a hopeful smile.
Tenten gasped, her pale blue eyes sparkling lustily. "That was incredible, you big dicked fucker!"
She groaned as Fu slid her hands from her pussy and ass and Tenten gingerly stood upright, being careful not to overbalance with the heavily rounded belly filling out her waistline.
"And you three!" Tenten said, her eyes flashing excitedly. "Bending me over and giving me a fisting!" she sighed happily.
"I don't think I've ever felt so well and truly stuffed." she said giddily.
"You seem much perkier." Hinata said, stroking Tenten's heavily rounded tummy lovingly.
"Naruto's shot of cum seems to have given me an energy boost." Tenten beamed, before her expression suddenly turned thoughtful.
"Ohh!" she exclaimed suddenly. "That's how I can increase the power feed!" she squealed with glee, her eyes opening wide with inspiration.
Tenten glided up the illuminated steps of the podium, her swollen belly leading the way and began tapping away at the console, while staring at the schematics on the slowly rotating hologram.
Naruto shook his head with a grin as he watched the nude ravenette get absorbed in her work.
"We'll see you in the officer's lounge for dinner, don't be late!" he called out to Tenten as Fu bent over to lick the last traces of his cum from his cock and then tucked him back in his trousers.
"I'll make sure she's there." Hana said with a fond smile and turned to join their chief engineer to work as her assistant.
"Oh and get a shower you dirty girl!" Hinata chastised her old friend with a laugh.
Tenten turned and waved at them with an absent minded grin on her face.
Naruto, Hinata and Fu headed out of the door and down the corridor, intending to go to the Officer's lounge, but finding the elevator missing. A number of Ashanath were working on the elevator right at that moment and they turned to stare at their group as they approached.
"We'd like to go up to deck two please." Naruto asked politely.
"Please take one of the anti-grav devices until we have installed the grav tunnels." One of the Ashanath said in its quiet, whispery voice.
They stepped out cautiously on to the floating pad and held on to the safety rail before activating the control that lifted them up steadily. The pad levitated up to deck two and they stepped carefully into the corridor before heading into the officer's lounge. Naruto put Hinata and Fu to work as his assistants in the kitchen and they spent the next couple of hours preparing a tasty dinner, whilst chatting amiably.
Hana and Tenten arrived early, with the ravenette now freshly scrubbed and none the worse for wear after her expedition through the grubby maintenance tunnels. They sauntered into the kitchen and were greeted warmly by the chefs who were hard at work.
"Your hair is still a bit damp Hana." Hinata said to the brunette archly.
"Tenten asked me to wash her back for her." the Latina grinned naughtily.
"Well she was very dirty..." Fu smirked at the girls.
"She certainly was!" Naruto laughed.
With two new assistants, they finished up the meal in short order, laid the table and then enjoyed a wonderful relaxing meal, sipping wine and eating the curry that they had cooked up.
"These crackers are amazing!" Fu said enthusiastically.
"They're called Papadums." Naruto grinned.
"Try them with the mango chutney!" Tenten enthused.
Naruto had made the normally spicy food pretty mild, knowing that the girls would be unused to anything too fiery. They all thoroughly enjoyed the exotic flavours and after the meal was eventually cleared away, they lounged around on the sofas.
They recapped the events in the gym for Tenten, filling her in on Naruto's mighty display of strength and that running out of weights had prevented him from testing himself further. Tenten said she would think it over and come up with some kind of solution.
Despite repeated begging, Tenten refused to go into detail about the work she and her horde of Ashanath engineers had been labouring away at over the last day and a half. She promised them a comprehensive walkthrough of everything tomorrow.
They realised that she was not going to crack, when even the most extreme of interrogation methods failed to provide results. Naruto and the girls stopped tickling the gasping ravenette ruefully and grudgingly accepted that they had to wait.
Laughing happily, they left the lounge and then settled into the commander's quarters on the huge four poster bed, with two of the girls on each side in their usual places. Curious if any of the girls were going to initiate some late night action before they went to sleep, Naruto was surprised when they urged him to wait until tomorrow, promising him that they would make it worth his while. With an offer like that, who was he to refuse such a request and they curled up together, falling into a deep and restful sleep.
