Chapter 4: Heist Prep
-V's apartment-
V hummed as he looked over Mako's penmanship. It seemed like something he couldn't exactly help, and when he measured her fingers, he decided to let it go. Besides, the writing she produced was still readable, so it was fine.
"Alright, that'll do for this lesson." He said as he gave his pet's work back to her.
"Is there anything in particular coming up today?" Mako asked as she stretched her fingers.
"I still need to go meet up with a client for an upcoming job. Care to tag along?" The man offered.
"But of course. Just let me get into some street clothes first." The Shadow Bull nodded before she went to get changed into decent streetwear.
(Later)
Later on in the evening, the two went to Lizzie's Bar to meet up with Evelyn. V was dressed in his mercenary clothes while Mako's street clothes consisted of a sleeveless purple tank top, a pair of black leather pants and a pair of black boots with purple laces. She also had on a Militech jacket as well. On her hips were a pair of combat knives in their sheathes.
The two walked up to the Braindance bar known as Lizzy's, where a pair of Mox bouncers were standing there. One had a titanium baseball bat in hand and the other had a pair of tekko fist rings made of a similar titanium material.
"Can I help you?" The Mox with the bat questioned, her cleavage being visible over the neckline of her shirt.
"Here on business. Don't worry, we won't cause any trouble." V replied. The two bouncers looked at each other and nodded.
"Alright, fine. Door's open." The first Mox said. "But before you two head in, are either of you interested in a fresh BD?" She offered.
"I'll pass on that." Mako replied.
"Same." V nodded. With that, the two headed in and went to the bar.
"What can I get ya?" The bartender asked.
"One whiskey sour for me and a wet martini for the lady." The Corpo replied, allowing the man to work on the drink before speaking again. "So we're looking for Evelyn Parker, she here today?" He asked as the man passed them their drinks.
"Club's full today. You'll have to ask around in this sea of people." The man replied.
"That won't be necessary." A woman's voice spoke up from the side, drawing the master-pet duo's attention to a blue haired woman with fair skin and expensive looking clothes. "I'll take these two, Mateo." She added before looking at them. "Evelyn Parker. I knew it was you the moment you walked in." She said, introducing herself at the same time.
"So you're Evelyn? Hm. A pleasure." V nodded with a hum.
"Correct. Come on, let's take this somewhere ears won't perk up to listen." The woman beckoned. "Mateo, if anyone asks, we're not here." She added as she led the two to a private room. Where they could talk in private.
Mako set the two's drinks down on the table while Evelyn leaned against the door, lighting a cigarette and smoking it.
"Dex told me a bit about you, he said you're resourceful, punctual, discreet and ruthlessly efficient when it comes to getting the job done." She said before turning to him. "I hope he wasn't overselling." She continued.
"I wouldn't know. I only just started working with him." V shrugged. Evelyn nodded and took a seat.
"There are two kinds of fixers in this Night City. Those with stable crews on long contacts and short leashes. Loyalty and predictability are what they value." She said. "And then we have the other kind-." She continued before Mako spoke up.
"Dex's kind." She said, getting a nod in return from the blue haired woman.
"Head Hunters. They don't bet on people, rather their intuition. They bet on potential, and if they lose that bet, it'll be the last one they'll ever make." The woman stated.
"Let's just cut to the chase here." V interjected.
"Of course. Your… target—you know what it is, I trust." Evelyn said.
"The Relic. A 'Secure your Soul' trinket. Key tech in the program, actually." The Corpo nodded. "We're tangling with Arasaka, my ex-employers. That makes this heist one dangerous, risky motherfucker." He added.
"But also a bit of a chance for you to get some revenge on the side. Arasaka's poured billions into personality transfer technology. But I want the data on this particular one." Evelyn said.
"Any ideas as to what's on the chip? Like what kind of engram is on it?" Mako asked, sipping her martini.
"That I'm not sure about, but I hear that it's really important. That much I do know." Evelyn replied. "Anyway, the Chip is housed in Konpeki Plaza. As a fellow Corp, I assume you've heard of it?" She added.
"Heard, but never had the opportunity to go. However, my first and second fiancé here do plan on staying there for our honeymoon." The former Arasaka employee stated, drinking his whiskey sour.
"Well chosen." Evelyn nodded in approval. "Anyway, the chip is tucked away on the top floor in the penthouse, which is occupied by Yorinobu Arasaka." She continued, causing the couple to nearly choke on their drinks.
"Damn it, Evelyn! Don't shock us like that!" Mako coughed as she tried to clear her airway along with her fiancé. "But really, though. Yorinobu Arasaka is in town?" She asked.
"Didn't you read the webpages? The whole city's been buzzing since Yori came to town." Evelyn chuckled.
"She's new to things in the corporate life. I knew Yorinobu was in town, but I wasn't aware that he was in possession of the Relic." V nodded. "Though my first fiancé Meredith did mention that Militech did get a hush hush offer from an anonymous broker in Arasaka for a quick grab at some Secure Your Soul Proto tech." He added, remembering reading that in a more recent confidential document.
"Sounds like a play to control." Evelyn noted before shaking her head. "Anyway, Yorinobu is the heir apparent to the Arasaka empire- Saburo Arasaka's only surviving son." She continued.
"So Junior's planning to take the reins while in Night City?" Mako guessed.
"Only a handful of people in Port Poseidon know what the Arasaka's real plans are." The woman stated.
"You saying you're one of 'em?" V asked with a raised eyebrow.
"More or less. Yori has the chip in a room completely devoid of any hussle. So getting in shouldn't be too difficult." Evelyn states.
"Why?" Mako questioned.
"There's an old saying in Arasaka: "Sneeze in Night City, and a cherry blossom falls from a tree in Tokyo"." V stated. "It meant that more than likely, anyone in the organization would report directly to Saburo Arasaka." He added.
"So we're not jumpin' the corp. We're jumping Yorinobu Arasaka himself." Mako noted with a small frown.
"Yorinobu is just a puppet. He lost all his cards years ago when he failed to do his daddy's bidding." Evelyn shrugged. "Saburo's had Yori's balls in a vice for years. He'll tighten the screw and crush them outright if he learns his son's up to no good again." She added.
"Okay, any other aces up your sleeve we need to know about?" The Corpo questioned.
"This should make your prick perk up." Evelyn grinned. "Yorinobu recently swiped the chip from an Arasaka laboratory. He's made a deal with NetWatch, and aims to sell it to them." She explained. "See the ace yet?" She asked.
"No, I got it so far." The Corpo nodded. "So how do we plan on doing this?" He asked.
"Come with me and I'll show you." Evelyn stated as she got up. "Though I should warn you, Arasaka isn't the only ones we'll be tangling with." She continued as they walked out of the room.
"Okay… Who else is there?" The Shark woman asked.
"Saki Oroku, also known as the Shredder. Leader of the Foot Clan." She replied as they walked towards the back. "Yorinobu's been getting very friendly with Saki's daughter, Karai. Which is something Saburo wouldn't approve of since he and Saki aren't exactly buddies." She added.
"Gotta give Yorinobu credit. If his father and Saki wanna be enemies, let them. Not their business. No reason to carry their grudges." V stated.
"True, but I wouldn't count on the friendliness between them to last forever." Evelyn nodded.
"So how are we gonna see Yorinobu's suite, exactly?" Mako questioned.
"You'll see. Provided that we're done gossiping about the Arasakas." The brunette said as the three reached another door.
"Yeah, let's go." The two nodded as they walked through the door.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile in the bays of Port Poseidon, the two Mega sharks continued to swim towards Night City, before odd looking tags on their dorsal fins blinked and suddenly injected them with something right as they reached the docks before falling off to the depths below.
They let out groans as they felt their bodies change. They were mutating again. When the feeling of mutation passed and allowed them to regain their bearings, they felt… different.
Swimming up to the surface they quickly reached out their new arms—after briefly nearly falling off when they realized they had arms—and climbed onto the docks, dripping wet and now also humanoid like Mako.
The bio electric shark was gorgeous. She had electric blue skin and electric growths all over her body, seafoam green hair that reached her shoulders, a pair of giant EE-cup breasts and a peach shaped ass. Her face had a domino mask made of her electric growths and it framed her seafoam green eyes perfectly. Her figure could be comparable to Storm from Marvel comics. Swaying behind her was a shark tail that had glowing growths on it.
The Bone shark, meanwhile, had rose quartz pink eyes framed and covered by a day of the dead-like skull mask. And like her sister, she had bone armor in the same places as well as white skin that made her look like Lady Death from Dark Horse comics. She also had a figure that was identical to said character, but her breasts were instead a pair of gorgeous G-cups that would have made Tsunade jealous. Lastly she also had moss-like green and brown hair. Growing from her tailbone was a shark tail covered in bone plating that looked strong enough to kill someone with one slap.
Both were naked at the moment, but thankfully, no people were at the dock, so their arrival went unnoticed. There was also a clothing store nearby that was closed. The two shark women looked at each other and nodded before they started learning how to use their legs, and gradually learned how to walk.
Once they reached the store, they went to the back door, which was locked. As they silently cursed their luck, they heard footsteps behind them. Turning, they saw Meredith walking toward them.
"Beautiful." The Militech woman said as she looked at the gorgeous shark women in front of her. "You know girls, if you're looking for something to wear in Night City, I know where you can get some really good stuff." She smiled as she held up two dog collars, a white and a black one with matching leashes attached. "All you have to do is put these on and follow me." She grinned wickedly as the objects jingled in her hands. The two mutants looked at each other before looking back at Meredith.
"O-o-okay." The bone woman spoke, using her voice for the first time as she and her sister put the collars on.
The blonde pulled them in close with the leash and stroked their pussies, which were very wet by this point. "Mmmm, two little sluts who like being pets. You'll make fine additions to my collection." She purred as she turned around and tugged them along. "Come on, We're going home." She told them as she led them away with the leashes.
The two obeyed and got in their new mistress' car and soon they were off to their new home.
(Elsewhere)
V and Mako walked out of the room with Evelyn after meeting her friend Judy, a Mox who edited BDs. The two seemed to get along fine with her, even offering to take the two ladies out with a drink—provided the heist went well.
"The job seems like it should go by great. Assuming we don't run into any hiccups." V noted with an approving nod. "Your intel was pretty solid, all things considered." He added.
"Thank you. I do try to make sure the quality of my work is at its highest." Evelyn nodded. "So, what will you be doing now?" She asked.
"Right now, we gotta meet up with Meredith and tell her about what happened to a Flathead that got klepped from Militech." V replied. "I'll be in touch." He added with a nod.
"I wish both of you the best of luck." The bluenette nodded. With that, they went their separate ways. As V and Mako left and got in their car, the Corpo dialed up his blond fiancé.
"Hello, dear. Need something?" The woman asked upon answering.
"I've got intel on our missing Flathead. Where are you right now? I want us to meet up." V asked as he pulled out of the parking space and drove away from the bar.
"Oh, um, I'm… at home entertaining some… Guests." The woman said nervously, a pair of moans seemingly heard elsewhere in the area where she was.
"... You found two new pets, didn't you?" The ex-Arasaka employee deadpanned, seeing right through her.
"Okay, yes I did!" The woman said in defeat, knowing she couldn't fool her lover. "But in my defense, they are as gorgeous as Mako is." She added. That caught V's interest as he drove.
"Wait, are you saying they're shark mutants like her?" He asked.
"Yep. Though the key difference is that they have bio electric and bone mutations." Meredith nodded. "If you wanna meet up at the apartment so you can inspect them, feel free. We can kill two birds with one stone." She added.
"I think I'll do that. See you when me and Mako get there." The man nodded as he started driving home.
"What happened?" Mako asked.
"Apparently Meredith went and got two new pets while we were busy. Get ready to meet your fellow pets." V said as he drove.
'I wonder who she found.' Mako thought curiously.
(A short while later)
V and Mako walked into their apartment, and immediately heard moans coming from the bedroom. Heading there, they were greeted by the sight of Meredith in her birthday suit spanking her blue skinned pet while the bone woman sat off to the side. The sight made Mako blink as she turned off her inducer.
"Um… huh?" She uttered.
"Oh, hey guys." The blondie greeted them as she placed the high voltage woman on the bed. "Meet Elektra and Mara. Apparently they're your little sisters, Mako." She added as she pulled Mara and her sister into a three way kiss, with both sucking on the Militech woman's breasts as they separated.
"My… sisters?" The Shadow Bull woman uttered in shock before she smiled tearfully as she pulled her newly found siblings into a hug. "My sisters!" She cried happily as her little siblings cried into her in joy at being united after so long. V and Meredith smiled happily at the scene before they left the room so they could have some privacy.
"So, what did you wanna talk about?" Meredith asked, not really bothering to put any clothes on as they sat on the couch.
"I found out who attacked that convoy of ours." V said, getting his first lover's attention.
"Who?" She asked.
"It was Maelstrom. The fuckers have the Flathead at an All-Foods factory they set up shop in." The man replied as he flicked her the details.
"So that's where it is. What's the plan?" Meredith questioned after looking the info over.
"Me and Jackie plan on getting it back, but we're not gonna purchase it. No… we're gonna steal it back." V explained. His words made his fiancé grin.
"I got something that'll help with that." She said before getting up and walking over to her desk, shamelessly giving her man a view of her ass while she did so. She opened up a drawer and pulled out a shard before returning to him. "This shard has a virus on it that'll knock out anyone in the network it infects. You'll be able to walk out of that factory with our Flathead with no resistance." She explained, getting a pleased smile from V as he pulled her into his lap and kissed her.
"Very nice indeed." He told her. "Now." He continued as he took her into his arms. "How would you like me to take you out for dinner tonight while we let Mako have fun with her sisters?" He offered as he squeezed his bride's bare ass.
"Of course, honey. I could go for a bite." She moaned as she pressed her ass into his hands.
"Good." V grinned as he continued to explore his first woman's body. "And maybe after that, we can go to the No-Tell Motel and have some… Kinky fun." He added as he kissed her neck. "Like you sucking my dick while I film you and post it on pornhub for our coworkers to see." He purred.
"Yes!" Meredith gasped as she suddenly climaxed on his lap from his actions. As she panted, she looked at her lover. "Want me to get a team together and surround the factory when we deal with Maelstrom?" She asked.
"Yes. I want the factory locked down until I come back out." V nodded.
"Consider it done then." The woman nodded as she got up and pulled out her best cocktail dress for such an occasion. It was black and would display her cleavage to the world. It didn't do much to cover the lower parts of her body, but she didn't mind. "When should we go?" She asked.
"I think I've handled enough for today, plus Jackie's already scoped out All-Foods well enough. So let's go have dinner now, that way I can rest afterwards and then me and Jackie can start fresh tomorrow." The man replied as he went to get changed.
"Alright then, let me go get ready." The woman smiled as she two went to get changed and freshened up.
After all, a day spent resting after one job makes one ready to tackle the next job the following day.
ThermalsniperN7: Huh. Didn't expect these two to show up.
Dragon Emperor0: It's happened in all of our Maneater stories so far, so it's not surprising. I still find it embarrassing that we're pretty much the only people writing Maneater fanfics on this site. And that the player base is still so small. It's an awesome game!
ThermalsniperN7: Well that's probably due to the fact that if you wanna relive any particular moments, you gotta start a new game. It would have a longer life if we were able to relive everything that's happened in the game thus far, DLC included, without having to start over on everything. That aside, due to the relationship between V and Meredith, I decided the canon meeting in-game was rendered moot.
Dragon Emperor0: Probably for the best. Though I do wonder how things will go next chapter from here on out? Definitely something to ponder.
ThermalsniperN7: The mini-siege on that All-Foods factory is gonna have a different outcome, that's for sure. Anyway, see you guys next time.
