As Shadow proceeded throughout the barren landscape of Hell, the air getting hotter with every step he took, all he could think about was how much closer he was getting to taking down the almighty Lucifer. The devil's minions had spent just a little while too long on Shadow's plane, and the Ultimate Life Form wouldn't stop until Satan was done for. The fact that there was a veritable heatwave going on right now didn't faze him, either. Besides being immortal, he was extremely resistant to the most bitter cold or the most stifling heat, which he was thankful for at a time like this.

Shadow got ever further from Justice, but he noticed that there were no demons to fight here, which he found very odd. On the other hand, he figured that he was in one of the deepest circles of Hell, reserved for only the most evil of sinners, and as such, it wasn't heavily populated. Nevertheless, he kept his M60 ever ready just in case any wayward demons should try to rip him apart…not that they could. At one point, he sat down to have another sandwich, which turned out to be turkey with a balsamic glaze, another enjoyable experience for him. After this, he checked to see how many crepes he had left. He had two, so he ate one, washed it down with a can of Pepsi and moved on. Just then, Shadow's Hedgehog Sense tingled. He knew he was being followed, but he just wasn't sure who, until…

"Shadow!"

Shadow froze as he thought he heard his name being yelled. Then, he shrugged it off as being unimportant and moved on.

"Shadow!"

Shadow paused again. There was no mistake: somebody was definitely following him, and she was a woman judging by the voice. On one hand, he had no problems with women, but on the other hand, he simply didn't feel like being followed around at this particular moment, so he scrambled to find a rock or other large object that he could hide behind until they gave up and left him alone. Fortunately, it didn't take him too long to find one, so he scrambled to it and hid behind it.

"Shadow, where are you?"

As the voice repeated itself and got closer, he recognized it as being that of Modeus. Why she'd want to follow him was beyond him, but as hot as he thought she was, he had no further use for her at the moment, so he decided to remain hidden.

"Shadow, please come out! I'm not gonna hurt you!"

Shadow could tell that Modeus was being truthful. However, he still didn't want her following him, so he kept hiding behind the rock, clutching his M60 with a death grip.

"Shadow, I know you're around here somewhere! Please, talk to me!"

Once again, Shadow ignored Modeus' entreaties. It wasn't that he hated her; he just feared that she'd get really hurt if she got involved in the battle against Satan, and having lost Maria already, he could never live with himself if he lost another woman who mattered to him.

"All right, Shadow, if you don't want me to follow you, I understand! I was only trying to help!"

Finally, Shadow could tell that Modeus was leaving, so he waited for a little bit before coming out from behind the rock and continuing on. Little did he know was that the jiggling of his M60's ammo belt would be a signal…

"I found you!"

Shadow swung around to face Modeus, keeping his M60 pointed away.

"Modeus! Why are you following me around? Was getting fucked four times not enough for you?"

Modeus smiled and rubbed the back of her head. "Well, you see…god, there's no other way for me to say this, but…Shadow, I…" Modeus blushed. "…I've fallen in love with you! I know it sounds kinky, but it's the truth!"

"Modeus, there's nothing kinky about falling in love with someone; that's what normal people do all the time. Why you've fallen in love with someone like me is beyond my comprehension, but you go ahead and do your own thing."

"I mean, it's not just the fact that you gave me the most bomb-ass sex of my life, I also think you're such a kind, strong man, and you seem like you'd do anything for the people you care about!"

Shadow stroked his chin. "Well, my first friend did tell me to give everybody on this planet a chance to be happy…"

"Awww, how nice! As a matter of fact, since I love you that much, I wanna give you 'The Special'!"

Shadow's Hedgehog Sense went off again. Whatever "The Special" was, he could tell it wasn't dangerous, but he could also tell it was like nothing else he'd had before. Then again, he had faith that Modeus wouldn't try anything funny, so he came to a decision…

"All right, give me this 'Special'…whatever it is."

Modeus giggled. "OK! Just get down on all fours and I'll make you the happiest person ever!"

Though still not sure what "The Special" was, Shadow obeyed Modeus' command. He then heard the sound of a plastic bottle being opened.

"Take a deep breath, Shadow!"

Shadow took some deep breaths to relax himself. Then, he felt something wet slowly penetrate his anus, and his breathing and heart rate went up a bit when he deduced that Modeus was sticking a finger up there. Though extremely weirded out by this, he kept still, figuring that she must know what she was doing. However, even this initial entry paled in comparison when he felt her touch a grape-sized object in his anal cavity and start gently massaging it in a circular motion, which caused him to gasp loudly. Because of her touch, he couldn't help but feel an extreme urge to evacuate his bladder. Nevertheless, he tried his best to stay put, not wanting to disappoint her.

"I can tell you've never had your prostate massaged before," said Modeus. "This is going to be FUN!"

His prostate? Shadow had heard of it before and knew that it was part of the male reproductive system, but he didn't know much else about it other than that prostate cancer was common in men and that regular orgasms could help reduce this risk. Judging by the warmth and fullness he was feeling in his midsection, though, he could tell that he was in for the ride of his life, and he wanted Modeus to keep doing what she was doing. She chuckled when he heard him gently moaning from what she was doing to him. Eventually, after so much massaging, he got hard without her even touching his penis, and his body started to tremble starting from his prostate outwards.

"You like when I massage your prostate, don't you? Doesn't it feel good knowing you're gonna have the best orgasm of your life?"

Shadow nodded. Granted, the whole experience was still overwhelming for him, but the idea of having an orgasm without Modeus even touching his penis had plenty of appeal to him, and the fact that he was moaning more loudly now said everything. The more his body quivered, the more he wanted to just release, especially considering this buxom, beautiful woman was the one giving it to him. Eventually, he let out a rather powerful moan when his anal muscles involuntarily clamped down and he had a mini orgasm followed by a more powerful orgasm around his anal cavity, leading to him letting out a loud grunt. Granted, this was merely a dry orgasm, but he had a good idea about what was going to come, and she was not about to let up any time soon. She kept up the pressure and the rhythm, letting him know just who was in charge. Finally, after one mini orgasm chained into another, and another…

"M-MODEUS…OH…OH GOD, I…!"

Shadow screamed with delight as he had the most powerful, heavenly orgasm of his life, with every inch of his body feeling so electric with life as he'd never known before. He enjoyed getting off with Modeus before, but as he came really hard, he found that his bond with her was practically solidified. Meanwhile, she giggled, continuing to massage his prostate as he shot spurt after spurt of cum. It took what seemed like forever, but soon, this little slice of heaven would end for the Ultimate Life Form. Modeus sensed this, and she gently pulled her index finger out of his anus, leaving him panting and sweating heavily in addition to being green in the face.

"That looked like you really fucking enjoyed it!" said Modeus.

"Modeus…oh fuck…I…that…that was…" Suddenly, Shadow sprang to his feet and spun to face Modeus, where it became apparent that he was smiling brightly and had Bambi eyes. "THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING ORGASM I'VE EVER HAD! MARRY ME!"

Modeus gave Shadow a weird look. "Ewww! What are you, some kind of pervert!?"

Shadow frowned. "Modeus, marriage is something that normal people do when they really care about each other and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other."

Modeus blinked a few times. "Wait…you want to spend the rest of your life with me?"

Shadow smiled. "OK, I didn't necessarily mean that I actually wanted to get married. Nevertheless, thanks so much for that orgasm!"

Modeus pulled out a wet nap and cleaned her hand off. "You're welcome, honey!"

"In fact, you're now one of my favorite people, so much so that I'm even going to let you tag along on this journey!"

"Really?" Modeus clasped her hands on the side of her head. "Awww, you're so sweet! Actually, I was really hoping you'd let me come along with you!"

Shadow's Hedgehog Sense tingled, but he kept smiling. "Oh? Why?"

Modeus knelt down and whispered to Shadow:

"Listen, the girls and I have gotten fed up with how Lucifer is treating us, and we know all about her plans to take over the mortal realm, so we've been planning our own little revolt."

Shadow raised an eyebrow. "Wait…Lucifer is a woman?"

"Technically, she's whoever she chooses to be, but yeah. That aside, up until someone opened up a portal to the mortal realm, she never really had the means to do so. We also never had the courage to stand up to her until you came along and started blowing away those monsters."

"Then I'm going to have to arm you." Shadow pulled out the M16. "Do you know how to use one of these?"

Modeus scratched her cheek. "I don't know…"

"Don't give me an 'I don't know'. Do you or do you not know how to use a gun?"

"All right…teach me."

"First of all, before you operate any firearm, you have to learn the four basic rules of gun safety: 1. Treat every gun as if it were loaded AT ALL TIMES, 2. Keep your finger OFF the trigger unless you're ready to fire, 3. NEVER point the gun at anything you do not intend to destroy, and 4. NEVER fire unless you're sure of your target and what's beyond it. Do you understand?"

Modeus nodded. "Yes."

"All right. Anyways, this is the M16A1, a 5.56mm assault rifle used as standard issue by the Crown Armed Forces of Mobius. To get it ready to fire, use your thumb to change this selector switch from 'Safe' to 'Semi' for semi-auto – meaning that it will only fire one shot for every pull of the trigger – or 'Auto' – meaning that it will continue to fire as long as 1. The trigger is held down, and 2. There are still bullets in the magazine. Grab this pistol grip with your dominant hand, use your other hand to support the rifle, line the front sight post up with the hole in the rear sight, point the gun where you want the bullets to go and squeeze the trigger to fire. Got it?"

Modeus gave a thumbs up. "Got it!"

"Good." Shadow handed the M16 to Modeus. "Use that pile of dirt over there as target practice."

Modeus took aim with the M16, set the selector to "Semi", took aim and fired. While the recoil was noticeable, she handled it quite all right, and while not the best shot in the world, she managed to hit the dirt pile all right. She fired a few more shots, but then ran out of ammo.

"Shadow, why won't the gun shoot anymore?"

"You're out of ammo. Press the magazine release button on the right side of the gun, pull the magazine out, slap a fresh magazine in and pull the charging handle here to cock the gun."

Shadow handed a full magazine to Modeus, who reloaded it exactly as he instructed her. She then put the M16 in "Auto" mode and proceeded to spray the dirt pile with bullets.

"STOP!" shouted Shadow.

Modeus let go of the trigger.

"If you're going to fire full-auto, hold the trigger down for short bursts," said Shadow. "Not only will the gun be easier to control, but you'll save ammo."

"Sorry!"

Modeus tried shooting in short bursts, which did indeed make the gun easier to control. One magazine later…

"OK, I feel like I can handle this thing," said Modeus.

"Then let's go."

Thus, Shadow and Modeus headed on out. Thus far, their quest was going smoothly, except for one thing…

"I don't like this," said Shadow. "It's too quiet."

"Well, Lucifer has gotten so confident that nobody will reach her that she tends not to send any of her forces to this area. By the way, can I ask you a question?"

Shadow nodded. "Go ahead."

"Why do you seem so angry all the time?"

"Maybe I'm pissed because some scientists decided to meddle with things they know nothing about. Maybe I'm pissed because an evil demon god sent her minions to invade my realm. Or maybe I'm just pissed because the whole world sucks and I feel like it's pointless to try to give people a chance to be happy."

"Oh? Is there anything that brought all this on?"

Shadow dropped his M60 and crossed his arms. "And why are you interested? All you can think about is that next round of sex."

Modeus dropped the M16 and clasped her hands together. "Shadow, please talk to me! I love you, and I care about your feelings!"

Shadow briefly stared into Modeus' eyes, and then sighed. "All right, if you're that insistent…there was a friend of mine named Maria who happened to be the granddaughter of my creator. We bonded instantly and shared a number of happy memories with each other. Unfortunately, this wouldn't last forever. One night, the government sent troops to shut down the project that created me, and Maria…they…" Shadow teared up. "…they shot her dead! There have been so many nights when all I can think about is her, and I…I…"

Shadow fell to his knees and cried. Modeus gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. For the first time in her life, feeling genuine empathy for someone as opposed to flat-out lust, she didn't know how to handle herself at first. Nevertheless, she got on her knees and gave him a big hug, which he returned. As she held him, she could only wonder just exactly how it felt to be him and what she would do if she were in his place. She also thought about just what a wonderful guy he was, how lucky she was to have met him and how good it felt to be giving him the comfort that he so desperately needed. How could anybody possibly abandon him?

As he cried, Shadow couldn't help but think about how wonderful it was that somebody as good and right as Modeus existed in such a wretched hive as Hell, and it gave him hope that the light of goodness could shine in any darkness. After so long of having to be tormented by the pain and suffering that came from losing Maria, it just felt so heavenly, so liberating to be able to open up to somebody who would not only listen to him, but would comfort him when he really needed it most. The more he held on to her, the more he wanted her to be with him for the rest of his life. Eventually, he stopped crying, but continued to hold on to her for some time before letting go of her.

"Modeus…words can't describe how good that felt." Shadow smiled.

"Well, I'm glad I could help! Also, if it'll make you feel better, we can bring your dear Maria back to life."

Shadow whipped out a tissue, dried his eyes and blew his nose. "Thanks, but it just wouldn't be the same. That's really sweet of you to think of me like that, though.

"Oh, of course! Do you need anything else from me?"

"I…well…whenever I cry, my best friend gives me a glass of warm milk to calm me down. Hold on…"

Shadow checked his survival kit. Unfortunately, there was a problem…

"Shit, I'm all out of milk."

Modeus gave Shadow a wicked smile. "I've got some!"

Shadow's Hedgehog Sense tingled. However, he knew her words to be truthful, so he handed her an Iron Maiden mug that he had.

"Here."

Modeus took the mug from Shadow and turned around. He could hear her clothes ruffling, and then a squishing sound of some sort. Soon, Modeus handed the mug to Shadow.

"Here you go, honey!"

Shadow squinted at the mug. "Wait…did you seriously fill this mug with breast milk?"

Modeus giggled. "Well, you did want warm milk…right?"

Shadow shrugged. "Ah, I guess beggars can't be choosers…"

Shadow proceeded to drink the milk. Even if it was a most unusual milk, he still found it extremely satisfying, as evidenced by his purring and blushing. Modeus smiled when she heard him purr.

"Awww, you're so cute when you do that!" said Modeus.

Shadow – having finished the milk – lowered his mug and smiled. "Hey, if you want more, scratch me in front of one of my ears."

"Gladly!"

Modeus embraced Shadow and began scratching in front of one of his ears. Naturally, he purred again and embraced her. The more time he spent with her, the more he loved her not only in a sexual way, but in a romantic way as well.

"I love you so much, Modeus!"

"I love you too, Shadow!"

Modeus let go of Shadow.

"Modeus, you can call me 'Shaddy' if you want."

"Awww, that's a cute nickname! Where did you get it?"

"My best friend gave it to me. Usually, I hate when people call me that, but the more I think about it, the more I like it."

"And so you should!"

"Anyways, enough fooling around." Shadow picked up his M60 again. "Let's go kick Satan's ass."

Modeus picked up the M16. "Hell yeah!"

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
