Chapter 13

As soon as the boys got back to camp, Sonic sat down and started to think.

"Alright, what's our next move going to be?" He asked his golden friend. "Everywhere we've explored we either come up short or are attacked by demons, that for some reason are much more powerful than us. So what now?"

Shadow frowned as he thought about it. He suddenly came to realize that they haven't exactly explored EVERYTHING, and he felt guilty to bring it up.

"Listen…" He started almost hesitantly. "I know you may not want to go after what happened… but besides the forest, we haven't really explored the desert either. I think we should go back, and see what we can find."

Sonic sat there, shaking a bit at the thought. Shadow was right. He really didn't want to go back, afraid he may encounter another sandtrap. He couldn't and wouldn't go through that again.

Shadow sighed again and sat next to him, pulling him into a sided one arm hug. "Look, I know you're scared, but we have to do this. You said it yourself, we're not getting anywhere at the other locations, maybe we can find something useful for once."

Sonic was still on the fence about it.

"Please Sonic… do it for Mobius. Do it for Tails. You wanna keep them safe, don't you?"

Sonic sighed and nodded. "Alright."

"'Atta hedgehog." Shadow nodded proudly as he stood up and pulled Sonic to his feet. "Don't worry, we know what to look out for now. And I'll be by your side, no matter what."

"... Thanks Shads." Sonic smiled at him. "Let's go."

A small plume of dust rises in the distance, betraying the position of something else besides the hedgehogs moving amongst the sandy dunes. It grows larger as it approaches their position, revealing a bulky distorted shape lurking inside the cloud. Wary and confused, the boys cautiously approach, preparing to face some new demonic monstrosity. As the sandy cloud parts, the blurred figure resolves itself into two distinct outlines.

On the left is a man carrying a heavily loaded wheelbarrow and struggling not to stumble in the sandy desert soil. Slightly behind and to the right of the man is a shapely woman, her demonic origins plain to anyone who notices the spikes on her head. As they near the man notices the presence of the Mobians and calls out to them.

"Ho, travelers! Fine day isn't it?"

"Indeed it is, sir." Shadow agreed to be polite.

The strange pair close the intervening distance, allowing to be made out more of their forms. As expected, the succubus is quite a beauty, with curvy flesh in all the right places. The man introduces himself as he struggles with his heavy load. "I am Marcus, former traveler of extraordinary places and seeker of forbidden knowledge! Though all that was a long time ago; I'm retired, you see. I've settled down with my new partner, Lucia." Marcus gestures, indicating the bored-looking succubus accompanying him.

"It's nice to meet you…" Sonic started, but gasped loudly in shock, clinging to Shadow as he blushed madly, looking like he was about faint. The golden hedgehog was doing no better, his eyes wide and face pale.

Marcus' wheelbarrow isn't full of cargo. It's the only thing keeping his oversized balls from dragging in the sand! He smiles at their reaction and winks lewdly, "Why do you think I have to keep a succubus around? If I don't empty these puppies every hour or two I damn near explode!" Looking thoughtful for a moment, Marcus nods to himself and asks, "I don't suppose you have a moment to help me with a quandary I've been having?"

"And, what quandary is that, sir?" Sonic gulped unsurely.

"Oh good!" he exclaims as he begins elaborating. "My dear succubus here is growing tired of our arrangement, and she wants me to give up the last of my humanity and become a demon like her. I'm not really sure I want to lose my soul, but at the same time, I know enough about their kind to know I'd REALLY enjoy being an incubus, if you know what I mean. Before I make the plunge, I'd like a second opinion – what do you think?"

He glances over his shoulder with almost a small measure of fear.

Sonic and Shadow looked at each other, wondering how to answer. The blue hedgehog then looked back at the man's giant sack, blushing again. He could only imagine how uncomfortable that must be. But if Marcus was to go demon, perhaps it could fix it. Besides, he and Lucia actually looked pretty happy together.

"If it's meant to be, perhaps you should turn yourself into an incubus." He said, surprising Shadow. "You two look very happy together, and I think that if you truly love her, you'll turn for her. After all, a happy wife is a happy life."

"Oh, we're not married." Marcus shook his head, then smiled. "But I see your point."

Lucia breaks into a mischievous smile. She sashays over to the blue champion, flesh jiggling enticingly the whole way. She leans close, sliding a slender finger down the center of his chest. "Thank you for this. Should we meet again, I promise rewards fit to make a whore faint."

Sonic shivered at the touch and looked away, blushing brightly at the offer, feeling a little uncomfortable about it.

Marcus raises an eyebrow at the exchange, but smiles as his demonic lover returns to his side. Lucia winks again, and huge wings explode from her back. She grabs Marcus, who bleats in surprise, and lifts off, flying away with her prize to her lair.

Once the two were nothing but a speck, Shadow turned to Sonic. "Are you alright, Sonic?"

"I'm fine, Shadow." Sonic sighed, turning back and rubbing at his cheeks to get rid of the blush. "That was more intense than I thought it would be."

"I'm surprised you actually told him to go demon."

"Well… to be honest I really didn't know what to do." Sonic admitted. "But they did seem happy together. I thought it would help them if they were the same species."

"I understand." Shadow nodded, then shuddered. "Besides, turning himself into an incubus may help his… erm… quaint little problem."

"Definitely." Sonic nodded, then sighed. "I don't want to keep talking about this, can we just continue on?"

"Right. Let's go."

...

Sonic and Shadow continue walking through the shifting sands of the desert when they hear a sudden hiss behind them. Expecting to be attacked by a snake, they quickly leap forward and turn around.

To their surprise, what they see is not exactly a snake; it's a Naga - a half-human half-snake hybrid. She surges up and hisses even louder than before, showing off a pair of formidable fangs dripping with venom. Gazing at her long and slender reptilian body swaying on the sand like quicksilver, Shadow stands still in admiration of this terrible wonder, but Sonic is shaking in his shoes.

"No, no, no, no!" He cries out and runs away, startling his blonde companion.

"Sonic!" He shouted, running after the blue hedgehog. But as he does so, the Naga is hot on his heels.

"Gruh!" He grunted as he suddenly fell over, pain radiating through his back from her powerful punch. He growled and stood up, turning around to face her, ready to fight.

The Naga resembles a beautiful and slender woman from the waist up, with dark hair hanging down to her neck. Her upper body is deeply tanned, while her lower body is covered with shiny scales, striped in a pattern reminiscent of the dunes around. Instead of bifurcating into legs, her hips elongate into a snake's body which stretches far out behind her, leaving a long and curving trail in the sand. She's completely naked, with her round C-cup breasts showing in plain sight. In her mouth is a pair of sharp, poisonous fangs and a long forked tongue moving rapidly as she hisses at Shadow.

"You won't get away with that, you bitch." He hissed back at her. "CHAOS SPEAR!"

To his surprise and delight, the arrows of Chaos Energy actually manage to hit her.

The Naga strikes with the speed of a cobra, sinking her fangs into his flesh! "Aaah!" The venom's effects are almost instantaneous; Shadow's vision begins to blur and it becomes increasingly harder to stand.

"SHADOW!"

The sandy blonde hedgehog turns to see Sonic running back. He's clearly terrified, but there's also a hint of anger in those emerald eyes.

"Get away from him!" He shouted as he spindashed at the creature.

He manages to hit her, but in the process, he's bit as well!

"Sonic!" Shadow gasped as he forced himself to move. "CHAOS SPEAR!"

The spears hit the Naga!

She tenses and twists herself forcefully. Shadow sees her tail whipping towards him and evades it at the last second. He quickly rolls back onto hit feet afterwards.

"Is that all you got?!" He asked her challengingly, distracting her as Sonic revs up another spindash behind her. She screeches from the attack and twists her tail at him next, but the fastest thing alive evades it as well. Shadow then spindashes at her next, hitting her dead on.

The Naga hisses and draws close to him, suddenly wrapping herself around him, binding him in place! Shadow can't help but feel strangely aroused by the sensation of her scales rubbing against his body. All he can do is struggle as she begins to squeeze tighter, while Sonic tries to free him.

"Let him go, you scaly bitch!" The blue hedgehog screams at the Naga, punching and kicking her. He doesn't want to spindash, worried that he might hit Shadow.

As Sonic attacks, Shadow wriggles and squirms violently, tearing himself out from within the Naga's coils. He growls and spindashes at her, but the venom in his veins make him slower, not doing enough damage when he hits her. Suddenly, he's in her could again. "Dammit!" He rips out of her coils quickly before she has a chance to squeeze him.

"Shadow!" Sonic called, panting in exhaustion. "We have to go! We can't fight her."

"Dammit, why is everything so much stronger than us?!" The golden hedgehog stomps childishly. "Fine! Let's go!"

They turn to run, but the Naga keeps up. She suddenly wraps herself around Sonic!

"Gah! Shadow!" He cried out desperately.

"Sonic! Struggle!" Shadow ordered as he attacked the Naga.

Sonic tries to struggle out of the Naga's coils and manages to get out, but then, she suddenly tail whips Shadow across the face, sending him back before pouncing onto Sonic again

"Gah! No!" He cried out, tears streaming down his face, his body too weak from the venom to fight back.

He hears the hiss of the Naga's laughter as she slithers over his prone form. Her long tail twists around him and tightens suddenly, pinning his arms to his sides. The hedgehog struggles weakly against her grip, but he's too weak to do anything to stop her squeezing. She leans towards him, gripping his shoulders as she brings her face to his ear. Sonic can feel her serpentine tongue flicking over his ear as she hisses coldly into it.

The only thing running through his mind is a memory from his childhood. A memory of a snake he once saw with a bird wrapped in its tail, squeezing it more and more as the pitiful trapped creature struggled just to breathe. He remembers watching as it slowly stopped moving and the snake made its move, opening its maw to swallow the small morsel whole. This is not how he thought his time as champion would end; being eaten by a snake girl was very low on his list of ways to die.

"Shadow." He whimpers pitifully in vain, knowing his companion was just as weak as him as he closes his eyes and readies himself to meet his fate.

He gasps as suddenly instead, he feels the hand of the Naga at his crotch. A gasp of surprise escapes the hedgehog again as the Naga grabs ahold of his cock and starts to stroke it, licking at the crown with her serpentine tongue. Sonic moans as she quickens her pace, causing a wave of heat to rise through his shaft.

She stops suddenly and he looks at her, a terrified pleading look in his eyes, silently begging her to let him go. But the Naga isn't done with him yet, and she makes this known by opening up the scaly slit at her crotch to reveal her moist cunt. She rubs the opening on to the head of his fair-sized prick, teasing his throbbing member before slowly sliding it in. She carefully lowers herself onto him, swallowing up the first few inches of his shaft. Her hips slide back, before bringing them back down and sliding more of Sonic's cock into her. She continues to gently swallow more of him inside of her, the folds of her love canal massaging him with each progressive thrust. Finally there is no more that she can push into her, her stomach presses against him in an attempt to try to bring more inside her.

Sonic can feel the hands of the snake woman firmly grab his shoulders and watches in desperation as she pulls away from him, shouting with pleasure as she thrusts herself down on the full length of his shaft. Unable to move or do anything to escape, Sonic watches helplessly as she manipulates his body against his will, her slick netherlips completely enveloping his ample prick.

Again and again she thrusts her hips onto the blue cock, her pussy squeezing it almost as tightly as her tail. She continues to impale herself, her thrusts becoming more intense by the moment. Finally she gives one last squeeze and tilts her head back with a yell. Unable to hold back, her tight walls begin to convulse, squeezing Sonic's prick tighter than ever before. He can feel a pressure welling up inside as her soaking pussy attempts to milk his ample cock of its tasty seed. He tries to hold back, not wanting to lose his penis virginity to this monster like he lost his anal virginity to a sandtrap, but it's no use. As she continues to pump at his ample cock, a torrent of warm, sticky cum pours into her body. She moans and pants as his hot, gooey sperm coats her womb.

At last, she gets off and smothers away, satisfied with herself.

Sonic, the poor blue hedgehog, curls in on himself into a fetal position and sobs his heart out, unable to believe that he was just raped for a second time. He doesn't even stop crying when he senses Shadow finally gathering enough strength to stand up and walk over to him, weakly kneeling down to pick him up and carry him back to camp.

Coming back out here was a mistake.
