Authors Note:
Okay, considering last chapter was SUPER DARK I decided to upload this one NOW instead of Friday. Instead, Friday will be the Review Corner for Krystal's Harem.
I real hope last chapter didn't scare you all that much
Krystal's Harem
Chapter 11: Heroine Rises From Her Ashes
Krystal was flying off to Psychobos' lab and the dog was sitting in the corner, feeling ashamed that she didn't do more to help her. Krystal was silent, watching as space raced by 'Psychobos...I'm coming for you.' She thought darkly. The Nemitrix, which algae seemingly merged into the flesh if her neck/collarbone, glowed/pulsed "Grr..." She snarled thinking of the multiple ways to kill him. She was fiddling with her Omnitrix, trying to get it go reactivate "Come on...Wake up, Ship..." She asked, hoping that it'll wake her friend up. Soon the Omnitrix began to glow, slowly turning back on
"Oh...Oh...What happened?" A voice crackled inside the Omnitrix.
"Ship!" Krystal smiled, hugging the watch as best she could
"Krys...Krystal...I...Don't feel well...What happened?" Ship asked weakly
"You where hit with an EMP, the EMP then being out on here and keeping you unconscious for nearly a week straight." Krystal explained in tears
"It...It's been a week? Are-Are you okay?" Ship asked as it tried to come out of the Omintrix, though it was difficult as it didn't have enough time to recharge.
"Y... Yea." Krystal nodded, crying a bit before she said seriously "I'm going to take the bastard behind this down."
"Krystal...What happened...?" Ship asked as its "eye" manifested out to see Krystal
"... Nothing." Krystal lied, Ship seeing the Nemitrix on her neck
"Krystal...What...Is THAT?" Ship asked in shock and fear
"It's called the Nemitrix." She nodded
"The Nemetrix? Krystal...I don't like it. Can you take it off?" Ship asked
"Tried, can't."
"...Who's the dog?" Ship asked seeing the female dog, sulking in the corner
"... The Predators." Krystal explained
"The..The Pred...Shouldn't we put it in the hold or something? Before it turns!" Ship suggested in a panic for her friend
"It is harmless." Krystal said, tapping the Nemitrix
"Hmm..." The dog frowned and curled up in shame Soon the ship neared the space station that was Psychobos' lab... And crashed into it. Into the lab itself.
"WHAT THE HELL?! Khyber! What in the known universe are you DOING?!" Psychobos snapped as he jumped back, his lab destroyed as the ship crashed into the space station. Luckily it's emergency systems activated and locked the place down, saving the oxygen. But as a figure emerged from the space ship he went pale. Well, as pale as a purple exoskeletoned crab could "Y-You?! Where's Khyber?" Psychobos asked in shock
Krystal was silent and raised her arms, showing her blood and brain covered hands "Krystal...What..What happened?" Ship asked in worry, but Krystal remained silent and glared at Psychobos. Psychobos gasped at that sight of that
"You...Are going...To die..." Krystal shook in anger
"Get back!" He yelled, running
"No...I'm not." Krystal snarled and lunged at the crab alien in a wild ferocity only to hit a force field "OW! GRR!" She snarled at the purple crab. She began to hit it with a beast like anger, wanting to hurt this "scientist", but it was already gone
"Grr...D-DAMN IT!" She screamed out in hate and pain "GET BACK HERE!" she roared "You...You fucking...MONSTER!" She cried in pain and rage "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Ship was in shock as she looked at her partner "I-hi-hi-hi...'ll kill...You-hoo-hoo-hoo..." She cried as she fell to the ground on her knees.
Ship frowned and did something she has never done since merging with Krystal's matrix... She came out completely. Ship's body had changed over the last few years, instead of being just an amorphous blob of black with blue markings; ship now transformed into a humanoid figure and currently it was now in the shape of a woman with B-Cup breasts "Krystal?" Ship asked, cupping her cheek
"Sh-Ship...? Is...Is that...You?" Krystal cried and sobbed into Ship's hand
"Of course partner." She smiled
"You...You've got a body..." Krystal sniffed
"I always have... I just never wanted to leave your side." Ship nodded, even as she blushed a bit
"Ship!" Krystal hugged her friend and sobbed. Ship smiled, hugging her close "I...I want to go home...I want to go home..." Krystal cried
"What happened?" Ship asked
"He...he hurt me...He hurt me..." Krystal cried
"Hurt you?"
Krystal couldn't dare repeat what happened...She just wanted to get home now... but then alarms began to go off
"What's going on?" Ship asked
"I don't know." Krystal said... Until hologram screens of Psychobos' face appeared out of nowhere, Krystal feeling her rage returning
"Ah, little mutant, so glad you came. I am afraid you caught me... By surprise." The live feed of the strangely coloured crustation alien said in an arrogant tone "But worry not, as I have left a... Welcome party for you. Just follow the arrows." Suddenly glowing green arrows appeared in the floor, pointing away from the force field and down a random hallway
"I don't like this." Ship muttered but it was too late, Krystal was off running down the path of the arrows "Krystal, NO!" Ship called out as she followed But Krystal was snarling like an animal, following the lights as she chased towards where her prey was... Where her revenge was. The two raced after each other and the lights. "Krystal, Krystal slow down!" They soon arrived in what looked like a giant gladiatorial arena
"What is this? Show yourself you purple crab!" Krystal snarled
"Ah, ah, ah, my dear. No need to be so impatient. The data you gave me has allowed a massive jump forward in my research! So, how about you meet your new brother and sisters Huh?" Psychobos mocked as several cage doors suddenly appeared out of nowhere and opened
"Brother's and sisters?" Krystal asked as she looked at the cages and saw in shock at who or WHAT Psychobos was talking about.
Walking out of the cages where different aliens crossbred with their predators and genetically enhanced!
One was a Crabdozer mixed with a Pyronite and another was a Slamworm mixed with Armadrillo. The "Crab-Blast" hybrid was humanoid from the waist up, but Crabdozer from the waist down. Its head was a burning molten rhino mask, its arms had armoured protrusions with spikes. The "Slamadillo" hybrid was heavily armoured with orange plates and grey spikes, the had the large pincers for a mouth, salivating and snapping viciously
Krystal froze, shaking a bit at the sight
"Now...Why don't you give your siblings...A nice. Big. Hug?" Psychobos smiled darkly, which make the two hybrids snarled and raced at her
"Look out!" Ship yelled, pushing them out of the way
"Sh-Ship?" Krystal gasped as she saw her partner protect her
"Come on Krystal, now's not the time to freeze. We can do it." she urged
"He...He said...They...They're my brother and sister..." Krystal froze
"He's based them off how your DNA works." Ship informed, her eye glowing "He's MOCKING you."
"But...I-" Krystal shook
"Move!" Ship grabbed her and helped dodge the Crab-Blast monster's rampage. Krystal flinched, the two rolling on the ground. The "Slamadillo" Hybrid tunnelled underground for a pincer attack, while the Crab-Blast began to scuttle around the two for a good attack "Come on Krystal." Ship whispered to her "We can do this... Together. Remember those old Noir detective movies you use to like?"
"Y... Yes?" She whispered
"Well you need to be Hard-Boiled girl. I'm your partner, I'm not leaving you." Ship nodded with a smile "Now together we can do this."
"... The Two in One Detective?" Krystal smiled, remembering where the quote came from
"Yeah...The Two in One Detective." Ship nodded
Krystal smiled, returning to her human form in the first time in days "... Thank you Ship."
"No problem. Now, let's kick some ASS!" Ship smiled re-entering her home.
Krystal stood tall, activating her Omnitrix and transforming into a Tetramand "Alright...Bring it on!" Krystal shouted at her "siblings"; as she raced towards the Crab-Blast hybrid. She charged with a roar, confident in herself again. Krystal's Tetramand transformation now had bracers on both sets of arms and shin-guards for her legs. She had a gladiatorial skirt and leather armour to cover up her vital organs and her D-Cup chest. She had short cut black hair and four green eyes.. Suddenly Ship began to emerge from the Omnitrix on her chest, forming long whips made from Rose's vines around her upper arms and blades made from Emerald in her lower ones "Thanks Ship." Krystal smiled "RARGH!" she shouted swinging her attacks at the Crab-Blast hybrid
"Anytime. Mind your feet!" Ship responded. Krystal jumped, slashing the Slamadillo
"HISS!" The hybrid hissed loudly and shot off boulders at Krystal, only for her to slice them into pieces with her Emerald's swords. The beings all fell apart in chunks of flesh, all dead
Krystal smiled, returning to normal as Psychobos' holoscreen appeared
"Well, well, well. It looks like you DO have a spine after all. After all...you DID just kill your little brother and sister." Psychobos spoke
"You're mind games won't work on me any more crab face." Krystal smirked. She noticed something on her head, looking up a bit to see a black and green fedora on her head
"And you're going down." Ship said out of the watch again and back to back with Krystal, the fendora having formed out of body
Krystal was silent, realizing what Ship was doing. She reached up, moving the brim down to shadow over her eyes "Now..." She said, flicking her wrist, before the two pointed their arms forwards. Krystal's right arm, Ship's left, where both stretched out their main finger pointing at the crab
"Count Up Your Sins!" The two called together as one
"...What the fuck is this?" Psychobos asked in complete confusion
The two girls just smiled, laughing a bit at themselves before they calmed down "1, kidnapping." Krystal started as she took off the 'fendora', walking towards a secret room she noticed now she had calmed down
"2, torture. 3, ignoring the sanctions and rights of science." Ship continued
"4, illegal genetic experimentation." Krystal said, Ship ripping the door open
"What're you doing?!" Psychobos snarled at the ripping off of his door
"We're counting your sins." Krystal smirked, the two standing in front of Psychobos
"Now it's time to face the consequences." Ship nodded
"NO!" Psychobos spoke creating his shield again until Ship put her hand on the wall, deactivating the tech "No! No, no, no!" Psychobos backed up, trying to activate something...if ANYTHING "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
*time skip*
Krystal was heading back home...And the dog was having a front seat back with her. "You know...I need to give you a name." Krystal said gently. The dog made a confused name, tilting her head
"Whacha thinking of?" Ship asked, leaning over the back of the chair
"Well...Not sure." Krystal answered and stroked the dog's head. "I was thinking of something cool but...Not fluffy."
"Hmm... Fang?" Ship suggested
The dog shook her head.
"Val?" Krystal asked
The dog shook her head again.
"... Zed?" Ship randomly suggested
"Yip!" The dog happily at that.
"You...You like "Zed"?" Krystal asked
"Yip!" Zed nodded, liking her new name.
"So she's Zed." Ship nodded
Zed smiled and licked Krystal affectionately. Krystal laughed lightly, hugging the dog "Come on Zed...Let's go home." Krystal smiled
"What about me?" Ship pouted
"Yeah, you too Ship." Krystal smiled and tried to hug her friend but froze when Ship pushed her face against hers, like she was kissing her 'Sh-Ship...' Krystal blushed
"I've been with since you where ten... I feel like we are practically married." Ship explained with a soft chuckle before she repeated the process
"Married...? Wait...This seems familiar..." Krystal gasped and then pondered
"Familiar?" Ship blinked
"Yeah...Like...Something like this has happened before...But not to me..." Krystal answered. Ship tilted her head at that "Never mind...Let's...Let's just head home." Krystal answered
Ship nodded, 'kissing' her again
*Back at Earth*
"Sir! An identified ship is approaching to land!" A plumber yelled
"Is it hostile?" A major Plumber asked
"Affirmative. Notable weapons systems. But none are active." The plumber answered
"Everyone to the docking bay!" The main Plumber called "What class is it?"
"It's a Hunter Class 05-AY." The plumber answered
"... Call Magister Tennyson's."
"Yes sir!" The plumber nodded and went to do just that.
The next twenty minutes was a mad rush but soon most Plumber's where down in the landing bay along with Max, Ben and Helena "Has there been any activity?" Max asked using his arm to make a specialized cannon.
"None, it's still landing." A plumber said "It's like the pilot doesn't know what they're doing."
"Who doesn't know how to pilot a ship?" Ben asked...which the majority of the Plumbers looked at him. "...Okay that ONE time."
"What about..."
"Two times."
"And that..."
"Three times."
"Four."
"What about last..."
"MOVING! ON!" Ben snapped. While the plumbers were trying to stop laughing at Ben's escapades when he was younger, they saw that the ship was slowly descending. It soon docked, waiting
"Whatever comes out...Keep your blasters trained on the door. Don't fire unless fired upon." Helen spoke
"Understood!" Everyone called, the door slowly opening
The Plumbers continued to keep their guns trained on the door...But were stunned seeing who came out.
"H-Hey everyone..." Krystal waved as she emerged
"KRYSTAL!" Her family yelled
