Tenten woke up first, feeling completely refreshed after a good night's sleep. The Ashanath engineers had been tasked with completing the last of the work while she slept and she was so eager to check on their results, that she wanted to leap out of bed and go sprinting out the room. Instead, she stealthily climbed out from under the covers and tiptoed out softly, being careful not to awaken Naruto, or the other three girls who were still fast asleep. She dressed in her own room, then walked down the corridor quietly, wanting to do a final check on everything before she presented the results of her hard work to the rest of the crew.
Naruto, Hinata, Hana and Fu woke to the gentle sounds of a melody, yawning and stretching contentedly as the tune drifted around the room. Tenten pressed a button on the remote she held in her hand and the soothing music quietened and then turned off.
"Good morning ladies and gentleman." Tenten said in a cheerful voice. "If you would care to get up, then the tour of the Invictus Mk. II will begin shortly." she exclaimed excitedly.
Tenten stripped off to join them in the shower and they all washed and dressed in double time. Everyone sensed the ebony haired girl's excitement and felt intensely curious about what she'd been up to. She led them out of the bedroom and down the corridor, stopping in front of where the old elevator used to be.
"Here's the first modification." she said proudly.
"We all know how annoying it used to be having to wait for the elevator. Well I've removed that completely and replaced it with anti-grav tubes." she said.
Tenten hit the button on the wall and the doors swished open. The elevator shaft had been widened and was now divided into two, each side roughly the same size as the old elevator compartment had been. There was a light blue haze in the right empty elevator shaft and a light red one in the left. When they leaned out to hesitantly look over the edge, they could see the doors to each of the decks below.
"The colours are to let you know that the anti-gravity field is in place." Tenten explained. "You wouldn't want to just step out and then find the field was out of action in the event of power loss." she said with a wry smile.
"The right side goes up and the left side goes down." she clarified for them. "I figured it was easier to let the fields do the hard work, rather than having to propel ourselves up and down the shaft."
"If you'd care to follow me, I'll show you what else I've done." she said mysteriously.
Tenten stepped backwards into the anti-grav field on the left hand side and was swathed in a warm red glow. She waved at them with a smile on her face as she sank down at a comfortable speed, disappearing from sight. Naruto glanced at the other girls with a grin on his face and stepped into the tube, the hairs on his arms standing up as he was enveloped in the field. He dropped down at a steady pace and then landed lightly at ground level, where Tenten was waiting for him. Hinata, Hana and Fu touched down too and they laughed happily at the odd sensation.
"That was really nicely thought out." Naruto commended the ravenette approvingly.
She smiled at him happily and then waved the group forward.
"The next thing to take a look at is our defences against boarding." Tenten said, producing a remote with a flourish.
"I've set up panic buttons in the bridge and your quarters Naruto, which are locked by a DNA reader." she explained.
Tenten pressed the big red button on the remote after a showy swirl of her thumb, which earned her a few chuckles. A robust looking security door slid smoothly down from the ceiling, blocking off the airlock entrance completely.
"That ought to buy you some extra time, until you can get geared up and then come down here to use these..." she said, pressing a green button.
Panels on each side of the corridor slid open and two multi-barrelled turrets swung smoothly into position. At the same time, sturdy looking barricades rose up from the floor just outside the elevator entrance, large enough to provide substantial cover even for a person in full body armour.
"Oh these are excellent!" Naruto nodded appreciatively at the heavily reinforced cover.
"These security precautions are built into all decks, just in case we have another hull breaching scenario." the ravenette explained.
"What are the turrets?" Hinata asked Tenten curiously.
"Automated Gatling lasers." Tenten shrugged. "They are easy to produce and maintain and we have more than enough power for them." she said.
"Will they be effective against the Drakkar though?" Hana asked, sounding concerned.
"Yeah, they should be." Tenten nodded. "I'll explain why a little later on the tour." she said with a smile.
"Ok if you'd like to follow me, I'll show you what our home looks like now on the outside. It's had a makeover." she grinned, excitement shining in her eyes.
Tenten bounced away down the corridor, hitting the red and green buttons on the remote which caused the defences to withdraw back into place, merging seamlessly with the walls, floor and ceiling. She pressed her hand to the DNA reader next to the airlock and the green light moved silently across the panel, scanning her hand. It beeped quietly in recognition and the airlock spiralled open.
"Ok hold hands, close your eyes and follow me." Tenten said mysteriously, holding her hand out for Fu to take as she led the Nymph through the airlock collar.
The rest of the group followed her instructions and walked out in a line across the floor of the shipyard, following each other hand in hand. Tenten brought Fu to a halt after they had walked out about a hundred paces and called out for everyone to stop. She walked down the line, gently turning everyone to face back towards the ship.
"Now open your eyes!" Tenten urged them, hardly able to contain herself as she awaited their reaction.
There was a hushed silence as her shipmates stared in shock at the Invictus.
"Holy fuck!" Hinata swore quietly under her breath.
Tenten grinned proudly at the stunned reaction of her friends and lovers.
"I don't think I'm ever going to be able to pass myself off as a peaceful trader again." Naruto said wryly.
The assault cruiser had been totally stripped of its old armour and had been completely re-sheathed in jet black armour plating. The lights from the shipyard glinted off the ship's hull, giving the whole ship a glistening lustre, like it had been highly polished to a fine sheen. Where their ship had looked sleek and ferocious before, now it looked positively terrifying.
"Why is it sparkling like that Tenten?" Fu asked curiously. "The Drakkar armour plating looked slightly different, a bit more dull." she observed, having spotted the difference with her sharp eyes.
"I'm glad you asked." Tenten said, grinning excitedly.
"I had to come up with a new alloy, so that we could use special psychic sensitive crystals in the composition. We wouldn't have been able to use the shipyard equipment to rearmour the ship otherwise." the ravenette explained.
"I call the new metal: 'Invictium'!" she exclaimed proudly. "And it's named quite appropriately." Tenten added happily.
"It's a Titanium alloy, but the Etherite crystals have made it stronger. It's approximately twice the toughness of the old reinforced Titanium at resisting standard ordnance." she explained, overjoyed with the results.
"That sounds incredible!" Hana exclaimed. "But what about resistance against energy weapons?" she asked, remembering how effective the Drakkar armour had been against the Ashanath beams.
"Now that's the best part!" Tenten grinned delightedly. "Come and check this out!" she exclaimed.
Nearby was a 10' square section of black Invictium armour plating which was held securely in place by four robotic arms. A small beam laser turret was positioned 50 metres away, with the barrel pointed squarely at the armour plating.
"Ok watch the armour plating." Tenten said and produced a remote from another pocket.
She hit the button and a red beam of bright energy blasted out to hit the armour plating squarely in the centre. The beam pulsed angrily for a few seconds, before Tenten flicked off the remote and the beam blinked out as suddenly as it had appeared.
"Wow!" Hana exclaimed with wide eyes. "The beam barely even scratched it!"
Tenten grinned, beaming from ear to ear.
"The armour is partly reflective and deflects some of the initial energy of the attack. Whatever's left gets channelled through the armour and absorbed by capacitors that are spaced evenly around the hull." she explained for them in layman's terms.
"The Drakkar armour was able to channel and absorb the energy by using this incredibly rare element called Onyxium. Their armour is a Steel/Onyxium alloy." she noted.
"Invictium is a Titanium/Onyxium alloy, that is greatly enhanced by the inclusion of Etherite crystals and 15 other elements that I included to stabilise the bonds." Tenten stated proudly.
"From the original attack strength of an energy weapon, Drakkar armour reflects 20%, absorbs 60% and allows 20% of the power through to cause actual damage. Invictium reflects 35%, absorbs 60% and allows 5% through to cause damage." she said smugly.
"So you've made us practically immune to laser weapons!" Hinata blurted out. "That's fucking awesome Sparks!" she laughed in delight.
"We won't even need to turn the shields on!" the beautiful bluenette girl added as she smirked.
"Unfortunately the capacitors can get overloaded if they absorb too much energy too fast." Tenten admitted. "And Onyxium is incredibly rare, so try not to take any hits if you can avoid them!" she pleaded.
"But yeah, we're a whole heck of a lot tougher than before." the ravenette smiled, well satisfied with her handiwork.
"I already thought you were one of the smartest people I've ever met, but you've managed to surpass my already sky high expectations!" Naruto said proudly.
"You've done an amazing job Tenten. Thank you!" he commended her gratefully, wrapping her up in a warm hug.
Tenten sighed, ecstatically happy to have earned such high praise.
"Oh, I'm not done yet!" she exclaimed, wriggling out of his grasp.
"There's more to see!" the exhilarated girl chirped, beckoning them to follow after her as she jogged back to the ship.
Tenten led them back through the two sets of doors on the airlock collar and then opened the double door into the hangar bay. The Raptor gunship brooded in the hangar bay, black and glistening like some kind of abyssal horror. Naruto shivered for a moment, the ship bringing back a few unpleasant lingering memories from his recent nightmares.
"I replated the Raptor and added a new power core. The huge surplus of power meant I could add an upgraded shield generator, so the gunship should be able to shrug off most defence grid grade weaponry." she said happily.
Fu walked forward and ran her hand down the side of the Raptor's hull. "The ship looks magnificent Tenten!" she said, thrilled with the improvements.
Tenten bowed with a flourish. "Anything to keep you guys safe." she smiled contentedly.
"Ok let's move on to the next part of the tour!" she grinned, leading them back to the grav-tube.
They stepped into the dim blue glow on the right side and rose up smoothly, causing some spontaneous laughter at the odd sensation of being lifted off the ground. They stepped out onto the command deck and Tenten led them across the bridge and into the debriefing room. The armour equipping frames now had company and there was one in place for each of the crew.
"Fu, would you care to be my model again?" Tenten asked sweetly.
"Of course Tenten!" The Nymph agreed immediately and walked over to the alcove.
She stepped into the armoured boots and slipped her hands into the plated gauntlets. With the touch of a button, the robotic arms swung into action, pressing armour plates together to fully encase the girl's wonderful figure in Phalanx armour. Except this no longer looked like the old Phalanx armour. Where the old body armour suits were a bland dark grey, the body armour was now plated in Invictium and was a sinister jet black.
"You look badass!" Hinata nodded approvingly as she walked around the armour suit.
"Unfortunately I can't get the capacitors to work with the body armour." Tenten admitted to the others. "Due to the uneven curving nature of personal armour, the energy absorbing lattice isn't working properly." she said with irritation.
"Well at least we should scare our enemies to death." Hana noted with a raised eyebrow, as she took in the enhanced body armour's terrifying new appearance.
"Don't worry, there's a few more tricks under the hood." Tenten said with a grin. "The Invictium also retains its enhanced resilience against projectile weapons, as well as the passive 35% deflection trait against energy weapons."
"Do the Drakkar use the same kind of metal from their ships in their body armour?" Hinata asked curiously.
"The ribbed armour the Drakkar wear is slightly resistant to laser fire, but it's not the same tech as the armour plating on their ships." Tenten clarified. "They probably couldn't get the capacitors to work either." she guessed.
"Another incredible job Tenten, well done!" Naruto said happily as he walked over to the newly installed weapons locker.
He opened it up and saw five of the XR75 rifles on the racks. He picked one up and hefted it in his arms.
"Bring that with you..." Tenten instructed him. "We're off to the firing range next!" she said with a wink.
They waited for Fu to return the armour to the alcove and then they followed after Tenten as she led them down to deck 7 and along the corridor to the firing range. She pushed the button on the door and they all trooped into the room.
Nothing had really changed in here, except there was another armour equipping frame in place against the wall. Tenten walked over to it and stepped into the boots, as the robotic arms swung in to encase her in Invictium body armour. There was the quiet rippling of metallic clicks as the armour plates locked into place.
Tenten walked over to the nearby weapon rack and then took out an old, unmodified XR73 rifle. She slotted in a clip of caseless hollow point ammo and then walked back to the range, before handing over the assault rifle to Hinata.
"Here you go." she said happily, the speakers built into the armoured helmet transmitting the playful tone in her voice.
Next she strolled off down the firing range, before coming to a stop 50 metres away.
"Ok try and shoot me." Tenten said smugly.
Hinata glanced at the others, not feeling entirely comfortable at shooting a rifle at her oldest friend, no matter how well armoured she was.
"Hurry up!" Tenten goaded her. "We haven't got all day!"
Hinata rolled her eyes and then sighted down the scope at the armoured chief engineer.
"Brrt!" the rifle chattered as she sent a three round burst directly at Tenten.
There was a peculiar whumping sound and the bullets bounced away from their intended target, striking the walls.
"Woohoo!" Tenten cheered and did a little victory dance. "It worked!" she said delightedly.
"That was the first time you've tested it?" Hinata gasped, as she stared at her friend with wide eyes.
"The science was good, there was nothing to worry about." Tenten said confidently. "Besides, this new armour is tough as old boots. Hollow point rounds would never be able to penetrate it." she said proudly.
"So what was that strange noise?" Naruto asked. "It sounded like when I tried to shoot the Drakkar and some rounds deflected off their shields."
"Well spotted!" Tenten said, clapping her hands approvingly. "Those shields have emitters that produce strong magnetic fields, which are excellent at deflecting small calibre small arms fire. I just built more sophisticated, miniaturised versions of them into the armour." she grinned happily.
"Very impressive." Hana said. "But won't we run the risk of stray rounds hitting another one of us?" she asked with concern.
"When one of you is fighting near someone else in Invictium armour, the suits link up and will sense each other's location. They will deliberately angle deflections away from friendly troops." Tenten explained.
"It seems you've thought of everything!" The brunette said with a smile.
"There's one last thing!" Tenten said quickly. "If you reverse the magnetic field to attract rather than repulse, you could use the armour suits to go for a spacewalk on the ship's hull!" she grinned at them.
Naruto, Hinata, Hana and Fu broke into a spontaneous round of applause for their incredible chief engineer. Tenten took a bow and then stepped into the armour frame so that the suit could be removed.
"Thanks, but I'm not done yet!" the ravenette said exuberantly.
"Naruto have you noticed anything different about the XR75 railgun?" she asked him curiously.
"Well it feels a bit lighter." he said, bouncing it slightly in his hands to feel the weight.
"I swapped out the heavier old power supply!" Tenten grinned.
"The Ashanath power generators can pump out a lot more power in far smaller devices. If I'd done a direct swap, size for size with the old power supply, that railgun would be about ten times as powerful!" She sighed, just imagining it.
"Unfortunately the barrel would probably explode, killing the shooter as well." she said ruefully.
"Well I'm glad you didn't choose that option." Hinata said, smiling wryly.
"I did for the Invictus." Tenten said, her eyes gleaming.
"Err, I hope that means the ship isn't going to explode!" Hana said looking worried.
"I did fry a console when I hooked up the new power regulators." Tenten admitted, looking embarrassed. "In my defence, I had a lot of things on my mind and was pretty sleepy at the time."
"So exactly how powerful is our new power core then?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Well the power core they've fitted is the most advanced version they can produce. The one now powering the Invictus is sized for a battleship!" She grinned wickedly.
Naruto and the other girls exchanged glances, nodding at each other and grinning.
"That sounds pretty awesome!" Hinata agreed. "But what does that mean in practical terms?"
"OK in layman's terms we now have about twelve times the power as before. We can run the entire ship at full power constantly, so the ship will be able to fly faster and our shields will be able to regenerate quickly, without me having to divert power from the weapons or anything like that." Tenten said excitedly.
"How about the lasers?" Hana asked eagerly. "Will they be more powerful or fire faster?"
"Unfortunately no." Tenten said sadly. "The weapon barrels would melt with the heat build up."
"We need to upgrade the laser weapons themselves, or improve their heat sinks to see any improvement there, but at least we have the power in place for anything we might get in the future." she explained.
"Sounds like we need to take that trip to the Maliri sooner rather than later then!" Naruto nodded speculatively.
"Oh I have upgraded the Mass drivers though!" Tenten said excitedly. "When we leave the planet, we'll need to do a fire test and you can see what they can do!" she exclaimed enthusiastically.
Hana's eyes sparkled as she tried to imagine what Tenten might have done to the Invictus' main guns.
"You've done outstanding work here Tenten. More than I would have dreamed possible and in so short a time frame!" Naruto said, truly amazed.
Hinata, Hana and Fu joined in with the effusive praise and Tenten smiled at them, blushing a little with embarrassment.
"Oh I almost forgot!" she blurted out. "We need to test fire the improved XR75!"
Naruto moved into position at the firing range and hit the button that made a target dummy appear at the end. Bracing himself, he glanced at Tenten who nodded approvingly and then fired a round off down the range.
"Pkow." the railgun murmured, the shockwave from the weapon muffled by the sound dampener built into the barrel.
The target dummy tottered as a big hole was punched in its chest.
"It seems the same as before." Naruto said, looking confused. "It's a little lighter, but other than that, I can't tell any difference."
Tenten moved to stand beside him and pressed another button on the wall. The regular target dummy disappeared and a 9' tall hulking mock-up of a Drakkar Warboss appeared in its place, its four arms raised angrily.
"I only made one of these for demonstration purposes." she grinned.
The perky ravenette moved over to stand by Naruto. "Mind if I put my hands on your weapon?" she asked him suggestively in a seductive purr, her eyebrow raised.
"Be my guest." Naruto laughed.
She stood on tiptoe and then flicked the fire-rate selector switch to full auto.
"Give that a try." she said with a wink and skipped out of the way.
Naruto took a deep breath, calming himself and getting ready to control the barrel in case of muzzle climb. He sighted down the range , aiming low on the Drakkar just in case.
"PrrrrrrrrrKow!" the railgun purred as 49 hyper accelerated rounds raced down the range, slamming over and over into the quaking target dummy.
Naruto walked the rounds over the target, finding the barrel surprisingly easy to control, as each bullet blasted huge holes in the inanimate Drakkar Warboss and sent chunks flying around the range. He shot off the four arms, decapitated the dummy, cut the chest in half and then blew out the legs before he ran out of ammo. When the railgun finally clicked, the magazine empty, all that was left of the target Drakkar was a pair of smoking boots.
"The smoother power curve and improved power couplings radically reduce heat build up in the magnetic rails." Tenten said proudly.
"You like?" She said, breathless with anticipation.
Naruto looked down at the railgun and nodded. "Yeah, it's not bad." he said with a shrug, placing the weapon on the table dismissively.
"What?" Tenten said crestfallen.
"Haha!" he grinned, scooping her up in his arms. "If I didn't love you already, I'd fall in love with you all over again!" he whooped. "That gun is the coolest thing I've ever fired!" he said delightedly.
The ravenette laughed with relief. "Oh you!" she said, with a grin. "You had me going for a minute there!"
"Sorry honey." he said leaning in to rub noses with her affectionately.
Tenten sighed happily and hugged him tightly.
"Well we better go and have a chat with the Ashanath and start our little Drakkar hunt!" Naruto said, excitedly. "Unless you've got some more crazy new upgrades to show us?" he asked Tenten hopefully.
"I'm spent." she said with a smile.
"Ok then let's move out ladies." Naruto said in a decisive tone.
"Yes sir!" they chorused in amusement and they left the firing range.
Naruto picked up the XR75 railgun to return to the weapon locker on the bridge and he followed them out the door. They strolled down the corridor and entered the grav-tubes, stepping confidently into the blue light and then smoothly rising up through the levels. Everyone stepped out onto the bridge and moved to take their usual places.
"Could you secure this please honey?" Naruto asked Fu, smiling at her affectionately and handing her the railgun.
"Sure Naruto!" she agreed happily and darted off to the briefing room to put away the weapon.
He shared a meaningful look with Hinata as they watched the Nymph stride away quite untroubled. They climbed the illuminated steps up to the command podium together and Naruto sat in the Commander's chair, while Hinata sat gracefully at the executive officer's station to his right.
He turned towards the Latina sitting at her tactical station, watching her as she settled into her familiar seat.
"Hana, could you bring up the sector map for the systems around Kappa-Indarran please." he requested.
The brunette moved quickly to follow his request and the glowing sector map appeared a moment later, hovering above the bridge.
"Ok let's think about this for a second." Naruto said, looking thoughtful. "They have numerical superiority over us, but we should be able to take their raiding ships one on one. We need to thin them out before we tackle the base."
"Why not set a trap?" Hana suggested. "If we ask the Ashanath to greatly reduce any civilian traffic around that area and then get them to send a patrol through as bait, I bet the Drakkar will fall for it." she said confidently.
"Then when they appear, we pounce!" Fu said enthusiastically from where she stood at the doorway to the briefing room, looking up at the softly glowing map.
"Exactly!" Hana said with a grin.
"If we can disable them rather than destroy them, I can perform active scans on their ship. That should provide you some useful data on the structure and layout of their vessel." Tenten suggested.
"That's a great idea!" Hana said enthusiastically. "Once I know where their weak points are, I can take them out a lot faster." she said with a wicked grin.
"Ok sounds like we have a plan." Naruto grinned. "Hinata, can you contact the Ashana shipyard and see if they can put us through to the Ashanath High council?"
"There's no need." Tenten interrupted quickly.
"High Councillor Rathus gave me a secure transmission code so that we can reach Senior Councillor Ularean directly." she said with a smile.
"A direct line to their boss! They must really want to keep us happy!" Hinata grinned.
The beautiful bluenette girl sitting in the executive officer's chair entered the secure transmission code that Tenten transferred to her console. The viewscreen in front of them flashed and then a moment later, Senior Councillor Ularean's grey bulbous head appeared on the screen in front of them.
"Ah NarutoUzumaki, it is a pleasure to see you." the leader of the Ashanath Collective said in his unemotional whispery voice.
"Likewise Ularean." Naruto said with a smile. "Please thank your engineers for the incredible job they did on the Invictus. Tenten showed us all the upgrades this morning and they have excelled themselves!" he said appreciatively.
"I am very pleased that you are satisfied with our efforts." he murmured. "I will pass on your kind words to High Councillor Rathus." Ularean said with a slight bow of his head.
"But in truth it is the one called 'Tenten' that you should be thanking. High Councillor Rathus has repeatedly begged me to ask if you would permit her to stay on Ashana and teach at our Engineering Seminary." the Senior Councillor said in his eerie voice.
Naruto looked at Tenten with a raised eyebrow, but she shook her head with a smile.
"I'm sorry Ularean, she's an indispensable member of my crew." Naruto said with a grin.
"I'll need her more than ever right now, as I intend to keep my side of our bargain." he said, looking determined.
Ularean's unblinking black eyes seemed to sharpen their focus as they stared at him. "What do you intend to do?" the robed Grey asked, the light from the room glinting off the silvery chain around his neck.
"I'd like you to restrict all traffic around the Kappa-Indarran system." Naruto requested. "We plan to spring a trap on the Drakkar."
"We already have NarutoUzumaki." Ularean whispered. "We did not wish to lose any more civilian vessels to the raiders."
"We have to move fast Naruto!" Hana said in alarm. "If there's suddenly no ships around, the Drakkar will be alerted to the fact that the Ashanath have identified the location of their base."
"Ok then. We're going to need you to send some patrol ships on a route we'll supply for you." Naruto said to Ularean, looking to Hana who nodded and began plotting a flightpath for the Ashanath vessels.
"We'll follow close by and then intercept as soon as the Drakkar attack." Naruto said decisively.
"I have reservations about using my people as bait." Ularean said, his normally unemotional whispery voice edged with concern.
"They will only have to hold on for a few moments, we will strike the moment they send the distress call." Naruto said reassuringly.
"We will do as you request NarutoUzumaki." The Ashanath Senior Councillor agreed after a moment's hesitation.
"Ularean, I've got an idea on how to keep your people out of any danger for the next ambush!" Tenten interjected eagerly. "Please tell High Councillor Rathus to look out for the schematics I'll send him."
"I will inform him Tenten." Ularean said and then ended the call.
"Right, let's get moving!" Naruto said, eager to begin.
Hinata contacted the Ashana shipyard and requested leave to exit the drydock. The robotic arms holding the Invictus securely in place rotated smoothly and the magnetic clamps released with a loud clang, freeing the assault cruiser.
The beautiful bluenette girl grinned and dipped the nose of the ship, the Invictus dropping smoothly out of the drydock as she powered up the engines. Hinata winked at Naruto mischievously and then boosted the power, causing the 500 metre long assault cruiser to surge forward, flagrantly violating port speed.
The sinister looking jet black ship rolled and turned as she brought them through the rocky canyon, skilfully avoiding other ships and looming sheer walls alike. The Ashanath saucers gave her a sensibly wide berth as the Invictus raced out of the crevasse and soared away into the upper atmosphere of Ashana.
"Woohoo!" Hinata exclaimed, exhilarated by the daredevil flying through the ravine and out of the shipyard.
"I don't think the High Council would approve." Naruto said with a smirk.
Hinata laughed rebelliously and then turned to look at Tenten. "The handling on the Invictus has improved." she said with delight. "I thought we were just going to be able to go faster?" she asked in surprise.
"Well I boosted power to the retro thrusters and got the Ashanath to fit a few more." Tenten said with a smile. "We have insane amounts of spare power, so I figured... why not?" she grinned.
"I love you!" Hinata said happily.
"When you've finished having fun, could you plot a course to the nearest uninhabited asteroid belt please?" Naruto asked the exuberant bluenette fondly.
"Will do!" Hinata nodded and her hands darted over the console as the sector map around Ashana sprang into life on the bridge.
She found a swathe of asteroids in a nearby system that had already been fully mined. According to the system map, all that was left of the exploited asteroid belt were floating hunks of worthless rock.
"Looks like we have a winner!" she grinned and laid in the course.
"This can't be right." she muttered under her breath a moment later, as the course she had plotted was displayed on the map.
"The Navigation computer is reporting that we'll get there in a third of the time it should normally take!" Hinata said with surprise. "Nothing's that fast!"
"Nothing except us and a handful of special ops Ashanath ships." Tenten said smugly.
"The Ashanath High council weren't kidding. They've given us the best equipment they know how to make!" she said, her delight at acquiring such exotic and incredibly advanced technology quite apparent in her voice.
Hinata pressed the button that would start to warm up the FTL Drive and they noticed that their ship on the sector map was surrounded in a light blue glow. The ship leapt effortlessly into hyper warp and the Invictus began to race across the system map.
"Holy shit!" Hinata exclaimed. "Look at us go!" she gasped, staring in disbelief as their ship tore through system after system.
Naruto shook his head in amazement. His old freighter seemed like some kind of decrepit turtle in comparison to the incredibly quick ship he now commanded.
After only a few minutes, they had zoomed through several systems and arrived at the asteroid belt Hinata had chosen for their fire test. The bluenette girl brought the Invictus gliding into position, pointing towards a stupendously huge hunk of rock on the edge of the asteroid field, that could well be classified as a small moon.
"Powering up main batteries." Hana said, feeling her heart pounding in her chest.
She took a firm hold of the arm rest controls and the holographic targeting array hovering in front of her, cast a soft blue glow over her beautiful features. The brunette flipped off the safety switch and pressed the red button on the top of her right controller. The armoured panels covering the Mass drivers slid to the side, revealing the barrels of the 200m long rail guns.
"Weapons armed Commander." Hana stated, falling back into familiar Terran Federation protocol as she looked at the gigantic asteroid through the holographic targeting grid.
"Fire whenever you're ready honey." Naruto said with a grin, excited to see the new upgrades in action.
Holding her breath, Hana pulled the trigger and the Invictus trembled with the recoil, as the 200 metre long magnetic coils accelerated the shells to Tachyon induced Hyper warp velocity. The colossal asteroid shook violently with the impact, as four enormous craters were punched into its surface and the shells continued to bore in deeply, debris blasting out from the shattering strikes. A moment later, the small moon quaked as the four shells detonated deep within its surface. Four faint blue trails linked the Invictus to the enormous hunk of rock as it continued to shake with aftershocks.
"The rails are recharging so fast!" Hana exclaimed, watching the progress bar next to the Mass drivers on her weapon loadout hologram for the Invictus.
"You should only have to wait 10 seconds before you can fire again, instead of 30." Tenten confirmed for her.
"They're powered up already!" Hana said in amazement.
"Let's teach this evil asteroid the error of its ways!" Naruto said in a stern voice.
"Fire at will Lieutenant!" he barked in an imperious tone.
Hana laughed before pulling the trigger, sending another four shells blasting out at incredible speed. The asteroid shuddered with the next four impacts, beginning to break apart with the massive momentum of the strikes as they ploughed into its core. The shells detonated a second later and the titanic asteroid slowly split into three chunks, ripped apart by the devastation to its structure.
"One last volley on that smaller piece." Naruto requested, remembering their first fire test, and noting that the smallest chunk was about the same size.
Hana nodded obediently and as soon as the icon flashed, confirming that the magnetic rails had recharged, she pulled the trigger. The four shells blasted out, pounding into the asteroid section and sending it rocking backwards with the impact, its surface fracturing with rapidly expanding fissures. A moment later, the explosives in the shells detonated and the shockwaves blew the asteroid apart, sending thousands of rock fragments scattering through the belt.
"Triple the fire rate, massively increased penetration..." Hana said appreciatively, her eyes gleaming. "You did an outstanding job Tenten!"
The ravenette smiled at her friend, overjoyed at the results of the successful fire test.
"There's one downside." Naruto said reluctantly. "If we're firing three times as quickly, we'll go through our stockpile of shells pretty quickly."
"Yeah I thought about that." Tenten said glumly. "Unfortunately there isn't much I can do unless we can find a better source of explosives. If we can make the detonations more powerful, then I could reduce the size of the shells and we could carry a lot more."
"Not to worry, it isn't a problem for the moment." Naruto shrugged nonchalantly.
"Any news on the Ashanath patrol?" He asked Hinata.
The beautiful bluenette checked on the current status of the Grey ships and saw they were moving steadily into position, to follow the flightpath she had set for them.
"They should be ready to start in a few minutes." Hinata confirmed for him.
"When do you think the Drakkar will attack?" he asked Hana.
"Well their normal attack patterns have been disrupted, but I'd expect them to launch an attack as soon as they pick up the Ashanath patrol in their long range scans." she said, cautiously.
"I think they might have set up sensors farther out from their base though." she theorised. "They seem to be too well informed about sector traffic to just be relying on long range sensors on their ships."
"Based on what we estimate for their FTL drive capabilities, I'd predict a strike on the patrol in roughly 20 minutes." Hana said, turning over the calculations in her mind.
"We better get into position then." Naruto said. "Hinata can you trail the Ashanath patrol, so we can respond as quickly as possible without making it obvious we're tailing them."
"Yep, no problem." she said confidently, as she powered up the tachyon drive.
"Ok then, let's start repaying the Ashanath for these new toys." Naruto said with a grin.
The Invictus soared into hyper warp again and raced through system after system as they caught up with the Ashanath patrol. Hinata swung the assault cruiser into a tailing position via a long arcing curve.
"Hail them please." Naruto ordered.
Hinata hit a button on the console and a few moments later the Ashanath patrol leader's face appeared on the viewscreen.
"We are following your patrol route as requested NarutoUzumaki." the Grey stated in an echoing murmur.
"Call for backup the moment you're attacked." Naruto said brusquely. "We'll be there within..." he glanced at Hinata.
*15 seconds* her voice rang crystal clear in his head.
"...15 seconds, so just perform evasive manoeuvres with full power to shields until we arrive." he ordered.
"We will do as you command NarutoUzumaki." the Grey leader whispered quietly and then ended the communication.
"4 minutes until Hana says they will strike!" Fu said excitedly, looking at the ship's chronometer on the wall.
"It's just an estimate!" Hana said defensively.
"We'll see!" Fu said.
Tenten helpfully displayed a ticking clock in the centre of the bridge, counting down the seconds.
"Aw come on!" Hana groaned. "Pile the pressure on why don't you?"
They laughed good naturedly at her protestations, but watched the countdown on the clock nonetheless as it ticked down inexorably.
...
0:04
0:03
0:02
0:01
0:00
There was a pregnant pause as they waited with baited breath, but nothing happened.
"See I told y..." Hana started, but was interrupted by the flash of an incoming hail.
"We are under attack!" the Ashanath's patrol leader said, the speech transmitted by their communication device picking up his panic.
"We'll be there in a few seconds." Naruto said reassuringly. "Hang on!"
They ended the communication and he glanced at Hinata. "Already on it Naruto." she smiled at him confidently.
The system map showed the location of the Ashanath patrol and the Invictus charged towards them, the hopes of the entire Ashanath Collective riding with them.
"Weapons ready, shields up." Naruto ordered. "Hit them with everything we've got as soon as we're in range."
Hana and Tenten moved to follow his orders and seconds later they dropped out of hyper warp. The sensors pulsed out and the tactical map quickly redrew itself, showing the vessels in their vicinity.
The three Ashanath patrol craft were scrambling away from the huge ship that was bearing down on them. The black and purple Drakkar cruiser roared in, multiple violet hued beams pulsating angrily as it fired on the fleeing Ashanath saucers. The evasive manoeuvres helped the disc shaped vessels dodge some of the beams and the saucer's shields proved strong enough to save the Greys from any hull damage.
Hana opened fire without having to be asked and the six beam lasers scythed out and slashed across the rear of the Drakkar's shields, causing bright pulses of light to crackle over the surface. Hinata dipped the nose of the Invictus and Hana cycled to laser cannons, pouring a relentless cascade of laser bolts into the enemy shields.
Realising the threat behind them, the Drakkar halted their rabid pursuit of the Ashanath ships and began to turn the cruiser to face them.
"Not this time!" Hinata grinned, using the retro thrusters to roll the Invictus.
She pulled the nose back and then they began to perform a graceful loop, staying to the rear quarters of the Drakkar cruiser. Hinata kept the top deck facing the black armoured behemoth and pumped bolt after bolt of laser fire into the Drakkar shield, causing it to spark and flicker alarmingly.
"Why aren't they firing back?" Tenten wondered aloud.
"Scan them." Naruto said. " Try and identify the positioning of their weapon batteries."
"On it!" the ravenette said, her hands darting over her console as she engaged the active sensors.
"They're out-turning us!" Hinata's warning cry echoed around the bridge.
"Just a little longer." Hana said. "Their shields can't take much more of this!"
"Tenten, give me more power to the engines!" Hinata demanded.
The ravenette flicked off the safeties and poured more power into the assault cruiser's four massive engines, causing the Invictus to leap forward.
"Burn out in 20 seconds!" Tenten warned.
"Active sensor results are in!" she exclaimed, noticing the rapidly scrolling data appearing on the display. "Transferring it to tactical."
The Drakkar cruiser was pictured on the holographic tactical display, in a separate area highlighting the current target of the Invictus. The huge cruiser loomed large with its hull covered in thick black armour plating, flanked by purple ribbing securing it in place. The front of the cruiser showed dozens of long barrelled beam lasers, but there were none to the rear.
"All their guns are forward facing!" Naruto exclaimed in disbelief.
"It makes sense." Hinata said through gritted teeth, as she struggled to control the Invictus, the engines bucking with power. "That thing turns at an incredible rate."
"5 seconds left until burn out!" Tenten warned. "Shutting down the extra power!"
"We're good!" Hana cried. "Their shields are out!"
"Get ready to let them have it!" Hinata called out, easing off with the thrust from the engines and pulling the front of the Invictus around to face the Drakkar.
Hana watched the holographic targeting grid intently and the second she was able to hit the enemy cruiser, she opened up with the four Mass drivers. The shells roared out and slammed into the right side of the Drakkar ship, knocking it back and temporarily halting its rapid turn. The tachyon wave punched through the massive armour plating and the shells disappeared inside the hull. A second later, the cruiser trembled as it was rocked by a series of explosions. Hana had wasted no time and she cycled to the beam lasers, opening fire on the gaping wounds rent into the side of the Drakkar hull. The coruscating beams pulsed brightly as they seared into the superstructure of the enemy ship, burning through the interior of the ship and causing terrible damage to the starboard internals.
"Yeah! Great shooting Lieutenant!" Naruto yelled.
"They're still coming!" Tenten warned.
Hinata powered up the engines to maximum and performed a half roll, just as the Drakkar opened up with the entire beam battery. Pulsating purple beams lanced out as though eager to consume the Invictus, but Hinata's roll made nearly half the shots miss.
"Shields at 58%" Tenten called out, watching the damage control hologram intently and seeing the shield display go from bright green to a bright yellow in an instant.
The assault cruiser charged towards the Drakkar, seemingly about to ram them.
"What's the plan Hinata?" Naruto asked with growing concern.
"Trust me." she grinned.
Hinata dropped the nose of the Invictus and they tore past the Drakkar, missing the enemy cruiser by less than a dozen metres as they dived under the belly of the other ship. The Drakkar began to turn to pursue, retro-thrusters speeding their turn, the exhaust flares lighting up port side as they began to rotate.
Hana narrowed her eyes as the enemy ship loomed overhead, opening fire with the laser cannons. She seemed to be firing laser cannon blasts haphazardly all over the Drakkar vessel, laser impacts hitting the craft in a dozen different places.
"Don't you need to target one place to overload their capacitors?" Tenten asked worriedly, unsure what the brunette was up to.
"Sure, but that's not what I'm doing." Hana replied, grinning evilly.
Hinata slowed the Invictus and brought them around to face the Drakkar again. Hana cycled to the mass drivers and unloaded just before the Drakkar opened fire with their overwhelming array of beam lasers. The shells punched into the topdeck, the four pounding impacts instantly destroying several of the Drakkar's beam weapon emplacements. The shells bored deeper before detonating, rocking the enemy ship again.
The returning fire from the Drakkar was more accurate this time and the shields on the Invictus fizzled out as they were overloaded. Three of the virulent purple beams punched through to strike the hull, but they left only a minor scar, as the armour channelled most of the energy to the capacitors.
Hana fired back with their own beam lasers, searing into the gaping holes in the top of the Drakkar cruiser, the beams causing ferocious damage to the internals as they lanced through.
Hinata powered up the engines again, preparing to joust past the enemy cruiser once more.
"Go to their Port!" Hana called out and Hinata rolled the ship, bringing it around to a heading that would bring them past on the port side.
Hana opened fire with the laser cannons again, seemingly firing at random all over the port side of the Drakkar cruiser. The Invictus swept past and Hinata slowed the ship bringing the front around towards the enemy yet again.
"Why aren't they turning?!" Fu exclaimed.
Naruto let out a belly laugh. "They're trying to honey." he grinned.
"Spectacular shooting Lieutenant!" he said proudly.
"Thanks Commander." Hana said grinning at him.
Tenten looked at the image of the Drakkar cruiser in the holographic targeting display, as the active scans showed more and more data, the longer they were able to analyse the enemy ship.
"She shot off nearly all their manoeuvring thrusters!" the ravenette said in surprise.
The hapless cruiser began to turn at a pitiful rate, but Hinata stayed firmly in the blindspot to their rear.
"Let me know when you have all the data we need." Hana said to Tenten.
Two dropships launched from the stricken enemy ship, full of Drakkar marines eager to get to grips with them in close combat.
"Sorry, not today." The brunette said grimly, pulling the trigger on the mass drivers.
The shells slammed into both dropships, crumpling them both like they were made out of tissue paper and sending them careening away. The huge explosions that followed a second later just added insult to injury, obliterating the crushed remnants of the blocky dropships.
"Shall we ask the cruiser to surrender?" Hinata asked curiously.
"We can try, but they don't strike me as the 'live to fight another day' type." Naruto said dubiously.
Hinata attempted to hail them, but sure enough, her repeated requests for an open comm channel were ignored.
"You have everything you need Tenten?" he asked the ravenette.
"Yep, we're all set." Tenten confirmed with a nod.
"Take them apart Hana." he commanded the brunette, his order signalling their doom.
Hana ripped a big hole in the Drakkar stern with the mass drivers and then cycled between laser cannons and beam weapons, pouring an unending cascade of destructive energy into the Drakkar ship. Internal explosions began to rip through the enemy cruiser as the Invictus tore into the devastated raider vessel, the laser weapons hitting vital components. Eventually a laser cannon blast ruptured a fuel tank and supercooled liquid helium gouted through the ship, warping and splintering bulkheads and flash-freezing the Drakkar crew where they stood. The starboard side of the cruiser splintered and then shattered as laser bolts continued to strike home, splitting the hull open. All lights on the enemy ship guttered and died, leaving the once terrifying Drakkar cruiser a broken desolate hulk.
"Remaining life signs are fading rapidly." Tenten reported.
Hana ceased fire and they stared at the huge vessel as it rolled away in a slow, tumbling death spiral. The rear of the ship glowed brightly where it had been seared and scorched by the beam lasers, while the massive rent in the starboard side was brittle and frozen, where the supercold helium fuel had caused such catastrophic damage.
"Good work ladies." Naruto commended them. "It's over."
They slumped in their chairs and breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"One down, two to go." Hinata said with satisfaction.
"Let's tell the Ashanath High council the good news." Naruto said with a smile.
The beautiful bluenette sitting in the executive officer's chair moved quickly to follow his orders and a few moments later Senior Councillor Ularean answered the secure channel communication.
"It is good to see you NarutoUzumaki." Ularean began. "Our patrol ships reported that you had engaged the Drakkar. My thanks for preventing the deaths of my people. I can only assume you were victorious?" he asked, sounding hopeful even with his unemotional whispering computer voice relaying the message.
"Target destroyed." Naruto said with a big grin on his face.
"Excellent work NarutoUzumaki." Ularean said softly, sounding positively delighted.
"We have begun work on following the plans that Tenten provided." the robed Grey continued. "High Councillor Rathus reports that they will be finished with the construction in 4 hours."
"Great news!" Tenten cut in. "Tell him to launch it immediately!" she said cryptically.
"I will do so Tenten." the Senior Councillor replied in his disconcerting whisper.
"Ok we'll report back after the next Drakkar ship is destroyed." Naruto said confidently.
"We shall await your news eagerly." Ularean said quietly and then ended the communication.
"What should we do now Naruto?" Hinata asked him curiously.
"Let's head back and orbit Ashana while we wait for whatever Tenten's got them building." he said throwing a curious look Tenten's way.
"Setting a course back to Ashana then, Naruto." Hinata said, as she turned the Invictus to the return to the Ashanath homeworld and then engaged the Tachyon drive.
"So what shall we do for the next four hours?" Naruto smiled at them, with a raised eyebrow.
"We definitely need to be debriefed after that battle." Hinata said eagerly.
Tenten and Hana looked up at him with hungry looks on their faces, the adrenalin in their bodies looking for a release.
"It was extremely exciting." Fu agreed.
Naruto rose to his feet with a eager grin. "Let's reconvene in the Commander's quarters for a lengthy debriefing then." he invited them.
The girls laughed happily and rose to join him, heading down the grav-tube to reach deck 2. Naruto watched them walk ahead of him admiring their lovely figures as they glided elegantly down the corridor.
"Let's grab a shower." Hinata suggested and they quickly undressed, before heading into the roomy shower.
The girls entered the shower first, managing to get undressed at record speed. They welcomed Naruto as he moved to join them, making space for him in between them all. He closed his eyes as the water cascaded down over his body, washing away the tension of the battle, as eight hands stroked and caressed his body lovingly. Soft delicate hands ran over the muscles in his arms and chest, while one of the girls encircled his length in a firm grasp and began to stroke him firmly.
He opened his eyes again, seeing the girls watching him with passion building in their eyes.
"I think I'm clean now." he smiled at them affectionately, looking down to see Fu's dark green hand wrapped around his cock.
"How about we clean up Hinata next?" he suggested.
The girls agreed enthusiastically and the beautiful bluenette girl stood in the middle with a smile on her face. Soon everyone's hands were running over her wonderful tanned skinned, gliding over her firm breasts and pert bottom. One of the girls even went so far as to slowly slide a finger inside her tight little ass and stroke her gently, as Naruto stared into her eyes and rubbed her clit with his strong hands.
Each of the girls took a turn being the centre of attention, gasping and moaning while the others teased and caressed them tenderly. Soon all four of the girls were panting with arousal and staring at Naruto with a burning need. Before he got ravished there in the shower, he suggested they move the party to the bedroom and the girls exited the cubicle one by one, each leaving in a unique way. Hana glanced at him over her shoulder with smoky lustful eyes, Tenten winked at him suggestively, Hinata blew him a kiss and in Fu's case she just wrapped her arms around his neck, pressed her cool skin up against his body and then kissed him passionately. The other three eventually dragged her out and she grinned at him happily as she left.
Naruto soaked under the water a little while longer, before turning off the shower and then moving into the bathroom where he dried himself unhurriedly.
*We're ready when you are.* Hinata's voice popped into his mind, her tone equal parts mischievous and seductive.
He walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom and stopped for a moment to appreciate the spectacular sight in front of him. All four girls were naked and kneeling on the edge of the bed, looking at him over their shoulders and watching for his reaction. They were lined up in the chronological order that they had joined him, with the three athletic teenagers in a row and then Fu to their right.
"Oh girls, you look absolutely wonderful." he said appreciatively and sighed happily.
"Just work your way down the line Naruto." Hianta purred at him seductively. "Try and limit yourself to one minute per girl, then move on to the next one. We have a bet going on who's going to be the lucky girl."
She gave him a final smile and then as if on cue, all four girls faced forward and arched their backs, presenting themselves for him.
Chuckling to himself in delight, he walked purposefully to the left side of the line and moved up behind Hinata. He was hard as steel by now and he just nuzzled up against her slippery wet folds and then pushed forward, eliciting an excited gasp from the bluenette as he slid forward. He pushed forward to the end of her pussy, nudging up against her cervix and letting her get used to his broad shaft spreading her open. Naruto placed his hands on her firm buttocks, separating them slightly as he pushed forward again, causing Hinata to moan with pleasure as he pushed his way into her womb. The tiny knot of muscle between her ass cheeks glistened in the light, looking mysteriously inviting where she had prepared herself to be taken.
*I expect you to make your way down the line at least twice.* Hinata's voice challenged him playfully.
*What are the stakes on the bet?* he asked her curiously.
*My lips are sealed.* she said archly.
*Not these lips happily.* Naruto said, thrusting hard into her pussy, causing the bluenette girl to let out an excited moan.
He stroked in and out of her for roughly a minute, before gently easing out of her delightfully tight pussy and then stepping to the side behind Hana. Her coffee coloured body looked very exotic in between the bronzed flesh of the bluenette and the ravenette to either side of her. John wasted no time and placed his eager hands on the perfect spheres of her compact little ass, letting her know she was about to be mounted. He moved forward and his glistening cock slid smoothly into her pussy, his progress eased by Hinata's juices coating his length. The Latina groaned as her tight little passage was forced to make way for the blunt head of his cock, her young flesh yielding for him willingly.
Naruto pulled back and then began to stroke in and out of her in a nice steady rhythm, letting her get used to being taken. When the brunette was panting and moaning nicely, he shoved forward the last few inches, burying himself up to the balls and drawing a delighted cry from Hana as the head of his cock was embedded in her womb. He rode her lovely olive toned body passionately, loving the sound of her buttocks slapping against him as he fucked her powerfully.
*Time to move on...* Hinata prompted him.
Reluctantly he pulled himself out of Hana slowly and steadily, so she wouldn't be left feeling empty too suddenly.
*You're so considerate.* Hinata's voice told him affectionately. *Now hurry up and make Tenten squeal!*
*You're such a bad girl.* he thought to her as he moved on down the line.
Tenten looked just like Hinata from behind, with almost the same body type and shape and even the same skin tone. They had very different faces obviously, but turned away from him like this, the only real difference was her dark ebony hair, rather than the azure blue of the girl he'd been inside only two minutes before.
He placed his hands on her small waist, causing Tenten to let out a heated moan of anticipation. He smiled at how eager she was to be taken and he slid forcefully into her hot little body, his cock well lubricated by the two teenage pussies he had stroked in and out of in the last couple of minutes. He fucked her with steady strokes, enjoying feeling her rippling pussy as she gripped his length tightly. Not wanting to waste any time, he pushed forward insistently, aching to spear the girl beneath him fully. When he was finally completely embedded in her, with her taut round cheeks pressed up against his groin, Tenten let out a groan that sounded wonderful to his sharp ears. Using the firm grip on her waist he began to pound into her roughly, her buttocks rippling with the forceful impacts. Hinata got her wish and Tenten began to cry out repeatedly every time he drove into her, all the way to the balls.
*Thanks handsome, she loved that.* Hinata's voice sounded clearly in his mind. *Time to get some Nymph pussy...* she prompted him.
Naruto smirked at Hinata's lewd commentary and then gently withdrew from Tenten, leaving her sighing in disappointment as she felt him pull out. He gave the ravenette a gentle slap on the bottom, causing her to gasp with delight.
Finally he arrived at the last girl in the line. Fu's dark green skin was a wonderful contrast to the regular human colourings of the young women he had just fucked. He placed his hands on the perfect globes of her ass, feeling the smooth, slightly cooler skin of her flesh under his fingers. The Nymph trembled with need, her body already primed after the teasing in the shower and then listening to him take each girl one after the other. Not being able to watch had built her up to fever pitch. Naruto just pushed smoothly and steadily inside her, right up to the balls, feeling her ribbed internal walls accommodating him eagerly.
"Oh master..." Fu groaned ecstatically, not sticking strictly to their pre-agreed rules of no talking, but fortunately no-one really cared.
He smiled contentedly, loving the rapturous delight of the alien girl he was now stroking in and out of smoothly. She sighed and moaned with every thrust, radiating pure lustful need as he fucked her with increasing force. He ignored Hinata's first prompt to move on and drove happily into Fu, relishing hearing her panting and gasping and rewarding her for having to wait the longest.
*I need you Naruto.* Hinata pleaded with him, the debauched sounds of his cock in Fu's pussy turning her on no end.
Naruto began to slowly withdraw and Fu squeezed and massaged him hungrily with her body, as though desperately pleading for him to stay and fill her up. Grinning contentedly, Naruto gave Fu a friendly slap on her right asscheek, making her cry out in delight and distracting her enough so that he could pull out of her sucking pussy.
He moved back to the start and plunged back into Hinata again with no preamble.
*Oh god that's good.* she sighed in his mind.
*You like having my cock in you after it's just been in three other girls?* he thought to her.
*Fuck...* she groaned in excitement, her pussy rippling around him.
*Isn't this cheating, us chatting like this?* he thought to her playfully as he fucked her more forcefully.
*Yes, but it turns you on more and that's all that really matters.* Hinata thought back to him, savouring every inch as he drove deep into her body.
Naruto ploughed the beautiful bluenette girl vigorously for the rest of the minute, before moving on to Hana. The Latina quivered excitedly as he buried himself in her up to the balls, in one long pussy stuffing thrust. She sighed contentedly at having him inside her once again and let out cute little moans and gasps as he stroked in and out of her at a nice even pace. Eventually it was time to move on again and Hana cried out mournfully when he pulled out of her for a second time.
The brunette's loss was the ravenette's gain, as he sank up to the balls in Tenten's lovely pussy, his passage eased from when he had stretched her out the first time down the line. Naruto fucked her hard, enjoying seeing the strong muscles in her back flexing and moving gracefully under her lovely tanned skin as she bounced in his lap. Just like all the other girls, Tenten was strong and athletic and her body was built to take a pounding, so he did exactly that. She tossed her ebony hair back as she groaned excitedly, loving being taken roughly.
*I love it when you get all dominant.* Hinata purred seductively in his mind. *But don't forget about the rest of us!* Hinata thought to him, her tone a lovely mix of arousal and playfulness.
Naruto smiled and then pulled out of the panting redhead, causing Tenten to groan with frustration. Deciding to take over control of the game, Naruto thrust into Fu and then pulled her up by the waist, so her body was leaning against his chest. She arched her back and reached up with her arms to link her hands behind his neck. He cupped her big firm breasts in his hands, supporting her and then nuzzled into her hair, finding her ear.
"I need your help Fu. Will you be a good girl for me and assist your master?" he whispered in her ear, knowing just what to say to drive her wild.
Fu groaned ecstatically. "Just name it master, I'd do anything for you." she promised him with all her heart.
He leaned in and began to whisper his plan, all the while stroking in and out of her tightly squeezing pussy.
"Who shall we start with master?" she hissed excitedly.
*Hey that's cheating, what about the game?* Hinata said indignantly.
"I know who." Naruto said to the Nymph he held in his arms.
He gently pulled out of her and then offered her his hand, so that she could stand and move with him. Her garnet eyes sparked with a fiery passion he hadn't seen in them before and her intensely lustful look nearly had him throw her back on to the bed and seek his release in her glorious verdant body. He managed to control himself and walked with her hand in hand back to Hinata at the other end of the line. Fu smiled at him hungrily and then knelt down facing him, directly behind the bluenette girl. The Nymph tilted her cute dark green face back, so that her tongue could snake out and began to lap at Hinata's clit.
Naruto stepped up and sank into Hinata and between his rock hard cock and Fu's incredibly agile tongue, they had the bluenette girl screaming in ecstasy in no time. They kept at it, pushing the teenager through another intense climax before Naruto slid out and let her collapse on the bed.
He glanced over at Hana and Tenten who were watching events with lusty stares.
"You're next Hana." he said firmly. "Tenten, kiss her while we make her cum."
Hana looked at him over her shoulder with wild eyes, as Fu knelt down and leaned underneath her and began to lick her pussy. Hana's mouth hung open and she began to let out a long moan as Naruto pushed his cock into her, before Tenten kissed the girl forcefully, muffling her groans. He focused on keeping up a strong relentless pace as he pounded the Latina's incredible body and the other two girls soon had Hana crying out her pleasure as she came for them. They didn't give her a moment to recover from the first orgasm, before building her up to the second one. The brunette wailed as she came, her pussy rippling as her body urged him to cum inside her. When she had finally come down from her high, Naruto pulled out and they helped Hana lie down on her side as she panted for breath.
"How do you want it?" he asked Tenten with a grin on his face.
Tenten told them with a slight blush to her cheeks. Naruto caressed her cheek lovingly as Fu moved up on the bed eagerly, lying down with her head towards them. He offered Tenten his hand, and she climbed lithely over the Nymph to sit on Fu's face. She sighed contentedly as the Nymphs tongue slid deep inside her pussy, her hips rocking back and forth slightly as Tenten ground her clit against Fu's lips.
Naruto moved to the side table and collected a tube of lubricant and applied a liberal coating to himself. He moved up behind Dana who watched him with feverish excitement.
"Double penetration again?" he teased her playfully. "Is my cock not good enough for you?" he said, while holding on to her hips and nuzzling the blunt head up against her ass.
"Just hurry up and... fuuuuucccckkk!" Tenten yelped as he pushed firmly inside her snug rear passage, forcing her malleable little body to spread for his invading length.
"Oh god, that's so good!" the ravenette groaned, as his cock and Fu's tongue speared her body.
Hinata and Hana had recovered by now and they watched Naruto sodomise the teenager with barely controlled lust. Naruto pulled the ravenette back against his chest, pinning her to him with his strong arms, as he smoothly hewed in and out of her tightly grasping ass.
"You two." Naruto said to his audience. "Her breasts need attention." he ordered.
Moving eagerly to obey, the bluenette and brunette darted over and each grabbed one of Tenten's swaying tits, before leaning in to start sucking hungrily on her nipples.
Tenten screamed wordlessly with the onslaught, her body not able to take so much stimulation at once. She grunted as she climaxed, her body contracting reflexively around Naruto and Fu. To make sure they were fair, the group made Tenten cum a second time, her mouth open in a silent scream as her body writhed in pleasure.
Hana and Hinata helped the exhausted girl lie down and Naruto held his hand out to Fu, so that she could rise and stand in his arms.
"What would you like to do Fu?" he asked her, his cock throbbing with anticipation as he awaited her answer.
"You haven't taken me like that yet Naruto." Fu said throatily.
"You'd like to offer me your ass?" Naruto said archly. "Let me see then. Show me where I'll be fucking you." he urged her.
Mewling excitedly, Fu moved on to the bed and lay down flat, tilting her hips upwards and using her hands to pry apart her firm buttocks. Her last unplundered hole lay exposed to his eager eyes, the tight knot of muscle an even darker green against her verdant bottom. Naruto moved up on the bed and followed after her, covering her body with his.
"You want me to fuck your ass like this little Nymph?" he asked her, growing increasingly excited.
"Yes, ever since I saw you take Hana this way." Fu panted. "She looked so submissive being used like that, it was so exciting!" the green skinned girl moaned passionately.
Naruto lined up his cock and then began to push his way inside Fu's hot asshole, the warmth inside her body a sharp contrast to her cooler skin.
"Oh Naruto, that feels amazing!" Fu groaned, her hips rocking under him as she tried to take every last inch.
Naruto took hold of her wrists and then held her arms down as he pushed all the way into her luscious body, her rounded asscheeks feeling so firm and proud as he thrust against them.
"It's even better than I dreamed!" Fu sighed.
"You feel amazing." Naruto agreed, beginning to drive in with longer strokes.
"Take me hard master!" she begged him. "Let me service your cock!"
Naruto grinned wickedly and picked up the pace, fucking the submissive alien girl vigorously. Suddenly Fu let out a strange groan.
"What is it Fu? Are you ok?" he asked her with concern, halting his movements.
"I feel strange Naruto." Fu murmured, distractedly.
Naruto began to pull back, worried about the girl underneath him, when Fu reached back with her hands to grab his ass and hold him steady.
"Please don't pull out!" she begged him.
Naruto froze, still buried up to the balls inside the beautiful green girl.
"Just roll so I'm on top." Fu pleaded with him.
"Whatever you want." he replied. "Are you sure you're ok?" he asked her, sounding worried.
"Oh yes..." Fu moaned and pushed against him, urging him to roll onto his back.
Naruto rolled with her and lay on his back, with Fu in reverse cowgirl, his cock buried deep inside her tight body. He looked to the side and Hinata, Hana and Tenten were all watching them with concern, having heard Fu's call to stop.
Fu began to move her hips sensually, her ass rippling up and down his length as she lay back against his chest. She let out a deep moan and Naruto heard the teenagers to his side gasp in surprise.
"Naruto, something's happening to Fu's body." Hinata said in surprise.
"What?" he asked distractedly as he held on to the writhing Nymph's hips as she massaged him wonderfully.
"Oh my god! She's grown a copy of your cock!" Tenten blurted out in shock.
Hinata, Hana and Tenten disappeared from Naruto's view as they darted around to get a close up view of the dark green replica of the male member they all knew by heart. Naruto grabbed some pillows to prop himself up and then he looked down over Fu's shoulder to see the copy of his cock sticking out of her body just above her pussy.
"How are you doing that?" he asked Fu in wonder.
"This one does not know master." Fu purred quietly, her eyelids heavy as she continued to writhe on his length.
Hinata looked up at Naruto with a sly look on her face and then knelt down between Fu's legs, who spread her verdant thighs wide to give the blonde plenty of room. Hinata stared into his eyes as the dark green head of the replica cock disappeared between her pouty lips.
"I felt that!" Naruto gasped in shock, as he felt the familiar sensation of Hinata's mouth wrap around the head of his cock.
Hinata's eyes flared and she began to suck eagerly, bobbing up and down on Fu's newly grown phallus.
More gasps of surprise from Hana and Tenten had Naruto wondering what was happening now, distracted as he was by one of Hinata's amazing blowjobs, combined with the sensation of Fu's ass riding him too. He glanced down and was stunned to see two more cocks sprouting from the lower part of Jade's belly.
"Come service your master." Fu crooned seductively, as she took Hana and Tenten's heads and brought them down to wrap their pouty lips around the newly grown cocks.
"Holy fuck!" Naruto exclaimed in astonishment as he clearly felt the other two girl's taking the head of his cock inside their mouths.
He looked down in amazement at the bluenette, brunette and ravenette who were kneeling in front of Fu, sucking eagerly at the dark green copies of his shaft and feeling every delicious sensation from their hot little mouths. Tenten swabbed the slit at the end, lapping away gently as if trying to coax his balls into giving her pre-cum. Hana's tongue licked the underside of his shaft in long sensual strokes, while she sucked softly on him, her cheeks hollowing slightly with the suction. Meanwhile Hinata was deep throating her replica of Naruto's cock, her lips tightly stretched around his root as the muscles in her throat squeezed and massaged him expertly. His eyes flew open in stunned surprise as he felt it all, the three distinctive blowjobs all happening to his cock at once.
"How..?" he groaned into Fu's ear where she leant against him.
"Just enjoy, let us all give you pleasure." she urged him, as she turned to kiss him passionately, her hips moving languidly.
Hana and Tenten had started to take him into their throats as well and the triple simultaneous deepthroat after the last hour of teasing and frenzied fucking, was too much for any man to withstand.
With an inarticulate howl, he grasped Fu's hips and thrust against her mindlessly as he came, long gouts of his spunk shooting into her body. The teenagers impaled on the dark green cocks let out surprised squeaks as they felt Naruto's cum shoot down their throats to splash into their stomachs. They began to suck hungrily, three eager mouths working excitedly to empty the contents of his taut quad. Naruto panted and groaned, writhing in ecstasy as the girls sucked every last ounce of semen from his balls.
He finally had nothing left to feed them and he collapsed in a heap, groaning helplessly.
Fu's replica cocks shrank back into her body and the three kneeling teenagers sat back up, rubbing their now full tummies contentedly. Fu gently eased herself off Naruto's painfully sensitive cock and then all four girls curled up around him.
"What the hell happened?" Naruto mumbled, insensate.
"A triple blowjob assfuck." Tenten exclaimed happily.
"Bravo Fu!" Hinata said to the Nymph in delight.
Fu smiled in satisfaction at the earnest praise and stroked her own stomach, where she had retained some of her master's cum for herself. She sighed, deliriously happy as the effervescent viridian lines began to appear on her belly, pulsing out around her body.
"I think Fu won the competition." Hana said, smiling fondly at the Nymph who was lying beside her.
The rest of the girls laughed gently and then they all snuggled in closer with Naruto, luxuriating in their tight knit bond as their bodies absorbed his cum.
Naruto smiled to himself in wonder, as he lay back with the four girls in his arms. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined anything so crazy, but he had loved every second of it.
His mind began to wander back to his pledge to assist the Ashanath against the Drakkar raiders. They had made a great start, but if they were to prove successful against the Drakkar, he began to worry whether the Ashanath would fulfil the rest of their bargain. The Greys had been nothing but trustworthy in their dealings so far, but after hunting for these answers for so long, he found it hard to believe that he was this close to finding out more about his parentage.
Even more troubling was what the Ashanath might reveal. If it had anything to do with his recent nightmares, Naruto wondered if he might not want to know the answers after all.
Hinata hugged him tightly, making him look down at her. Her piercing lavender eyes stared up at him comfortingly, a warm, loving smile on her full lips.
*I'll be there to support you. We all will.* she thought to him reassuringly.
Naruto heaved a big sigh and then relaxed, Hinata knowing exactly what to say to calm his mind, just as she always did.
