Alexis raced down the hall after getting off the lift until she was close to the door to home. "OPEN!" Alexis yelled at the door before she even reached it. She watched it slide open quickly and ran inside.

"MOMMY!" Alexis practically flew across the room and ended up in her mother's arms. Pleased to have her daughter home, she picked her up and kissed her. Alexis loved her family so very much. Her mom and dad were her life.

"How was school, my little Succubus?" Kate asked her.

"Not Suc Bus!" That was the one and only thing in her young life that wasn't working out. They explained it to her, but it was taking FOREVER!

"Not yet you aren't, sweetheart, but one day sooner than you think, you will be." Kate knew her precious child just had to reach puberty and her body would start to change. It was how it worked for their race. "Succubus, sweetheart, not Suc Bus." Kate loved her child, but she had an issue with languages. Probably because she was being taught more than one at a time.

Kate held her tight and let her bury her head against her neck. She and her Mate knew just how much being Succubus meant to her. In their eyes she was already growing up far too fast. They liked her at this age. But they also wanted her to be happy, and for her, that meant being a Succubus instead of a little girl.

"Where Daddy?" Alexis asked into her neck. Once again Kate was going to have to have a talk with her teachers about languages. She wasn't getting any of them correct.

"Your father has Bridge duty at the moment. He'll be home soon, and then we can go eat. Do you know what you want for dinner tonight?" Kate inquired. Of late that was a stupid question.

"Eggs, please." Alexis kept speaking into her neck. She wasn't over not being a Succubus yet. It was all she really wanted.

Kate rolled her eyes. She knew it was a stupid question, but she was hoping something had changed. It was her fault and she knew it. She had let her baby girl try male cum once since that was what an adult Succubus and Incubus lived off of. It was artificial in nature, and they had tons of the stuff. However, it was more than enough to keep them alive.

She and her Mate, though, didn't need any of that stuff. They got the real thing from each other daily, literally. It was why she had allowed some of his cum find one of her eggs. That gave Kate her baby girl. It was the second best event in her life. The first was mating with the love of her life.

To Alexis's young mind, eggs looked and reminded her of the artificial cum. And at her age it was actually better for her. With a little spice it almost tasted like the real thing.

Kate tried to beat her to the punch. "Fine, but you're eating your vegetables too, and don't think for a moment that you're not."

"NOOO!" Alexis moaned into her mother's neck. Suddenly the room was filled with red lights. Thankfully, none of them flashed since for some of them that caused an adverse reaction.

"GENERAL QUARTERS! GENERAL QUARTERS! THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT NOT A DRILL!"

Kate recognized that voice and it wasn't her Mate, but he was on the Bridge. "Uh-oh." If this lasted long enough, her Mate was going to be trapped on the Bridge, making them all late for dinner.

Their ship was HUGE and by huge, she meant HUGE! It held millions of them, and it had literally anything and everything they needed, or might ever need. It was a City Ship, and it was the latest one built by her race, so it was also the most advanced of all of them.

This alert, however, meant Blast Doors were closing all over the ship, cutting them off from other areas. It was a safety measure. It was also a security measure if somehow they found themselves boarded, which should be impossible.

Once those doors got closed only a Security Team had authorization to open them. Even the Captain couldn't order them open. She wouldn't know what was actually happening in that instant on the Bridge.

"Looks like we're trapped, sweetheart. Dinner might be late," Kate warned her.

Alexis took her face out of her mommy's neck. "Daddy?" He wasn't here and while she wasn't scared, she was worried.

"Your daddy is on the Bridge right now. He's perfectly safe. How about we find one of your games to play while we wait for Daddy to come home so we can go eat." Kate put her down and took her into her bedroom to find a game to play.

+ [-O-] +

The game was over, and now she was sitting in a chair reading a book to herself. It was on a pad, and not a physical book. Save for ancient books in the ship's library no one used those to read from. The red lights were gone, but her daddy wasn't home yet.

A noise had her looking. "DADDY!" Alexis climbed out of her chair and rushed to him. And this time she ended up in his arms and got kisses.

"You're really late, Rick," Kate remarked. But she still leaned in and kissed him.

"We had a scare," he admitted.

"You can tell me over dinner. Someone wants eggs again with her vegetables," Kate told both of them.

Rick watched his little girl shake her head as they were both expecting her to do. Kate pleaded for help with her eyes and saw him grin back at her. That told her he would think about it. Kate might have given birth to her and was Mommy, but Alexis was Daddy's little girl.

+ [-O-] +

"Vegetable?" Kate tried.

"MOMMY!?" Alexis groaned and that had Kate looking at Rick for some help here.

"Eat this one, or no more eggs next dinner," Rick said and moved her largest vegetable closer to her. Her eggs were long since gone. She was simply using her finger to clean her plate where the eggs had been. Trying to get every last drop.

That had Alexis moaning, but she picked it up and nibbled on it. Hoping that was enough.

"So, what was the alert?" Kate asked, knowing he had been on the Bridge.

"Long range scan suddenly picked up ships that just kept increasing in number. There were seven hundred thirteen total," Rick told her.

"Seriously!? Please tell me you're pulling my leg." Seven hundred thirteen was not a lot of ships. It was a GOD DAMN FLEET! Only she saw him shake his head. "Military?"

"The few that were within range of a more in-depth scan, yes. Two were bigger than two of our own Cruisers combined. If it was a military fleet someone somewhere is in big trouble.

"Too far away to get intense scans to know their capabilities, however, they were all in FTL like us. They forced us to make a minor course change, so we're going to be delayed arriving at our target planet. I don't know just how long yet, but it shouldn't change anything," Rick said.

"Wow! Seven hundred thirteen ships. Who pissed them off? Did you get an ID on any of them?" Kate knew like Rick did that their race had been in space for an extremely long time and had met any number of other races. Not all of which had space-capable ships. A few couldn't even get out of their own system. They didn't yet have FTL, but they still had warships.

Rick shook his head. "Not in our database. They were an unknown. That or a race we do know has a whole new design of ships. Which isn't impossible, just unlikely."

"So they might be a danger," Kate offered.

"Possibly. We carry our warships with us. Still, at almost twenty-to-one it could be a challenge for us. Our City Ship is a very dangerous ship if they force us, as you know. Depends on what type of weapons they use, I suppose," Rick put forward.

"Finish, sweetheart. You finish and we can go see a movie." Kate gave her little girl some incentive and suddenly saw her eating with more determination. Mama had just won that fight.

"Our main weapon is a Quantum Energy Weapon. It was originally designed for ground combat, but we converted it to space-based. In theory, the M.E.D.U.S.A. has enough capability to blast through our own shields and cut this ship into two pieces. Not that I ever want to test that. Supposedly, our new shields are more powerful." What Kate just said was something what he should already know.

"I don't want to test that either. The good news based on the size of the M.E.D.U.S.A. we're not sure either of the two largest ships we could see could safely house it. So think good thoughts."

"Too late. I started that after you told me about them," Kate said. "Now the question is what does our target planet have for ships and weapons? All we have is what our telescope could show us." He was on the Bridge and she didn't have access, so he might know what she didn't.

"Don't know anything more. Plus thanks to that fleet, we're going the wrong way now. The best we can say about that is that it looks like that fleet didn't come from our target planet. They just happened to come a little too close for safety," Rick commented.

"So we're still in the dark. That's okay, we can still take them." Kate had faith in her race and their capabilities.

"Mommy?" Alexis showed her empty hands meaning she had eaten her one piece of vegetable. Granted, it was the biggest one on her plate, but it was still a vegetable.

"Good girl! Let's go see if we can find a movie to watch." They had movies in their cabin for her and them to watch. Access to the computer that held all of them. Though in this case it was a real movie theater to sit and enjoy it with others.

Their ship, they would eventually learn per target planet measurement, was fifty-five miles wide and just over one mile in depth.

+ [-O-] +

"MOMMY!" Alexis ran from Daddy and charged her mother as she entered the door to their home.

"Sweetheart!" Kate loved their child so deeply. Kate picked her up and Alexis wrapped her arms around her neck. It always did something to her heart when her daughter showed that she loved her so much.

"Have they reached any conclusions yet?" Rick was usually the one home taking care of their daughter of late, ever since they got close enough to the planet. They had been at this planet for a week now. It was clear the planet's population knew they were here. They were being bombarded with communications directed at them from seemingly every spot on the planet.

None of that was part of his job, so he only knew what was shared on the Bridge. His Mate, however, was far more involved. What little he knew was that it appeared this planet didn't have any spaceships. Not even ships limited to this system. This planet had so far not displayed any threat to them.

Kate kept Alexis and sat down next to him. "They call themselves humans. Scans indicate that they're perfect for conversion to our Race. But this might be more of a challenge than we thought. They have just over eight billion people on this planet," Kate informed him.

"Say that again!" he asked in disbelief. "I heard eight billion?" Rick watched as she smiled back at him.

"A little over seventy percent of the planet is water and they all live on land." Kate saw the surprise on his face get bigger. "The planet is also heavily polluted," she added and his shock got intense.

"I suppose that's no surprise. You should see the amount of junk they have orbiting their planet. But until today it hasn't been very exciting. We had a ship exit FTL and contact us.

"I'm not sure of the scale, but he looked like a little gray-colored guy that was rather thin. Big black eyes that never seemed to blink. He warned us that we were at a planet that was part of something called a Protected Planets Treaty. He advised us to leave. When the Captain denied his request, he informed us we had just made a mistake. Then he entered FTL and left," Rick related.

"Interesting. A planet with no space flight, filled with pollution is protected by some alien species. Are they in the database?" Did they know them, or was this someone new? Kate saw him shake his head. "So, was this ship a match of that fleet that was detected?"

"No, this one was different. It had a smooth skin. It even had fins. Upper and lower on wings. Fat body with short wings. Unlike us, I'm guessing meant for ground landings. Something we aren't designed to do," Rick explained.

"Interesting. Weapons and defenses?" Kate kissed her daughter's head since she was still holding on tight.

"One little Ion Canon. They had shielding, but it looks like it was a bubble in style instead of molded to the side of the ship like ours. A single Neutrino-ion generator for power," Rick replied. "The Captain suspects it was a transport and no real threat."

"Gina knows what she is doing. We need more time to decide how to handle this planet," she said and then mentioned, "Over eight billion has given us pause."

"No kidding." Rick was still in a bit of shock. "Assuming they eat food of all kinds, how do they feed themselves?"

"Not my problem. Mine is to help determine how to convert them to our race. Did something happen with Alexis today?" Her daughter was still holding her tight. Kate liked it, but this was a bit unusual.

"Apparently the usual. …Cum," Rick announced.

"Again!?" Kate rubbed her forehead. What was she going to do with her own daughter? She could understand Alexis wanting to be a Succubus, but this was being taken a little too far. "Sounds like I need to have another talk with our budding Succubus. She has maybe another seven to eight years or more till puberty. She can't keep this up that long. She's going to drive me crazy."

Rick smiled ruefully. "You are the Succubus here, my love. I leave it in your capable hands. I haven't made much headway with her."

"Come on, sweetheart. You and I need to have a talk." Kate got up but felt her daughter shaking her head. She didn't want to talk. She wanted to be a Succubus.

+ [-O-] +

Rick was on the Bridge. Kate was with her team and Alexis was in school after Kate had a talk with her instructors about trying to teach her too many languages at the same time.

"GENERAL QUARTERS. GENERAL QUARTERS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" sounded throughout the ship.

"Now what?" Kate knew they were trapped in space at this point. Still, they had all they needed, so they kept working. They had a strong ship and military ships if needed. Hopefully it wasn't that seven hundred thirteen strong fleet they had spotted earlier.

+ [-O-] +

Kate had Alexis and let go of her. She watched her race down the hallway for home. "OPEN!" Alexis yelled and ran inside. "DADDY!" She loved it when her parents were both home.

Kate saw that he was down on his knees, hugging her tight. "Do I need to know what happened this time?" She meant the alert and Rick knew it.

"Three ships that were a lot bigger than the last one. They ordered us to leave the area. They were here to enforce this Protected Planets Treaty. Whatever that is. Our Captain declined and advised that they leave. She had no desire to kill them.

"This one had four of those little Ion Cannons, three Neutrino-ion generators, and stronger shielding. They actually did fire on us. Can you believe it? Little fourteen hundred cubits long and they want to order us around. They didn't even scratch our shield. We used our secondary weapons and blew them to pieces. The fools." Rick shook his head.

He shifted his attention to his daughter. "So, how was school today?"

"Great! I wasn't scared. I'm a Succubus!" Alexis's smile was wide which had Rick looking at his Mate for life. Alexis showed just how smart she was if given a chance by not overloading her and she got the word right for a change.

"I'll explain later." She had reached a deal with her daughter that she would explain to him. Just not at this moment. "Right now she needs dinner, and she has an after school project, so back to school she goes."

"Really!?" Rick looked at his daughter who was beaming and nodding her head. She certainly looked happy about it.

"It's an art project. It has the added benefit for us. She will be gone for one cycle that we can put to good use." Kate was hoping he knew what she meant. Because what she meant was SEX! An hour full of SEX!

"After school project, here we come!" Rick wasn't dense. No daughter at home for an hour meant Kate could scream all she wanted while he ate her pussy and fucked her as hard as she begged him to.

+ [-O-] +

It was one local week later, and their fighters were clearing room for their transports to land and begin the conversion of Humans to their race. Hundreds of fighters were assigned to the hundreds of transports.

They were landing all over the planet. What Rick knew while on the Bridge was that their attempt at stopping them was so far very limited. His Mate was on a transport that had landed in some place called Jerome, Arizona.

Her team had chosen to start in a small town. They could finish the entire town in just hours. It was listed on something called an Internet as having just four hundred fifty people, not including guests.

"Captain! Seven ships are exiting FTL," a voice called out.

"Raise shields and show me," Gina directed. She looked them over. "Scan them. They look similar to the last ones."

"Eighteen hundred cubits in length. Six Ion Cannons for weapons. Five Neutrino-ion generators. Their hull is thin, though the material is superior to that of the previous ships. Two main engines. Their power capability is at least three times that of the previous ships, Captain," Rick advised her.

"Prepare the main weapons this time and see if you can raise them," Gina asked her team on the Bridge. "Perhaps they will listen to reason."

They all had a bulging "head" design for the bow. Like the previous design, they had smooth hulls and fins possibly meant for atmospheric maneuvering.

"We're being contacted, Captain."

"Let me hear it." Gina listened intently.

"These vessels you face are far superior to the ones you attacked. Challenge us at your own peril."

Like the last time he looked small, thin, and had large unblinking black eyes. Then finally he did blink, and it wasn't all that fast. Large heads, almost no ears, tiny mouth, and two slots for a nose. Skinny as hell. Looked like almost all skin and bones.

"This planet is now in our possession. Please go away, I have no desire to kill you by destroying your ships. We have already scanned your ships. You are far inferior to us. Your race does not suit our needs," Gina told them.

They instantly split up and began firing their little ion weapons at their shields.

"Fine, you have chosen death. Lock on each target and fire main weapons. Remove them from my space," Gina ordered.

"Captain." Rick got to work and touched a panel.

What the enemy saw was seven separate beams of light reach out and touch each of their ships. That was followed by what could only be described as a lightning bolt racing down that beam of light.

Each bolt raced down the entire length of the ship, cutting through their shields, ripping it into two pieces. However, a moment later the ship was back in one piece. That lasted barely a nanosecond. What happened next looked like the ship was being sucked into a long, narrow black hole. That was followed by watching as each ship was blown to pieces one explosion at time down the length of the beam.

"All ships destroyed, Captain," Rick informed her.

"Fools. I warned them." Gina issued orders. "Send scans of their ships to Research. Let's see if we can learn something. This planet is ours now." She glanced over at Rick. "See if you can determine where they came from."

Rick gave a nod. "Yes, Captain."

"Leave the shields up for now," Gina commanded. "This might attract unwanted attention."

"Yes, Captain." Rick studied his power output and what power the ship was presently generating and decided if more power ship power output was required.

+ [-O-] +

Kate was sitting on the floor playing with her daughter when suddenly the door opened. Alexis jumped up and rushed her Mate for Life. What she saw made her smile. Their daughter was such a happy and loving child. They had gotten lucky.

Rick carried Alexis and stepped up to her. "You're back early." He'd thought it would take longer. Her team wasn't all that large this time. They might change later.

"Took us just three cycles. They have no mental or physical defenses of any kind. They're a weak race. We can fix all that," Kate said. "I hear you had some excitement."

"Seven whole ships. They threw their lives away, the fools. They look skinny and sickly. Almost all skin and bones. Not an ounce of muscle can be seen. Big heads suggests intelligence, but they almost sound arrogant. A misguided feeling of superiority," Rick told her.

"We're still working on how long it will take us to convert this planet. It may have over eight billion people, but we're thinking around half is either too young or too old.

"And you'll never believe that these people call their planet." Kate grinned since it sounded like some kind of joke.

Rick shook his head and gave his daughter a little tickle to get her laughing.

"Earth." Kate saw his face and smiled at him. "Over seventy percent water and they call their planet another word for DIRT." Kate still didn't believe that. "DIRT! This planet so needs to be converted to our race. Then maybe they'll clean up all the pollution.

"One more thing I've learned while converting them to our race. They've had something called World Wars. They have been trying to kill themselves off. TWICE! This is one screwed up planet, Rick. Really screwed up." Kate didn't understand this race.

"Sounds like we found them just in time," Rick commented. He lifted the bottom of Alexis's shirt and bent down to blow on her belly which really had her laughing.

"No kidding. …Can we discuss another child, my Mate?" Kate felt she was ready. She had been working on Alexis a little and she sounded happy about it.

"Ready when you are, my Mate." Rick bent way down with Alexis in his arms to kiss her. Once they broke from the kiss, Alexis got Kate's next kiss.

Life was perfect for them. Being a Succubus and Incubus was the only way to live. Maybe some day they would convert this entire Galaxy before moving on to the next one. It was the perfect way of life, and they had plans to bring that way of life to every race that they could. They would live for a very long time, so perhaps they would actually get to witness it. If not, then Alexis and their future child and their family would.
