Krystal's Harem
Chapter 80: The Battle of the Rooters!
"What is she doing?!" Max yelled as he punched a table "Stealing a locked down ship, breaking out a prisoner and escaping the planet?!"
"Sounds like something I would do." Ben commented as he walked in
"Ben! What're you doing out of bed?" Max panicked
"I'm tougher than I look, Grandpa. Krystal's gone to go get our family back." He answered "Besides you guys always freak out. Cuts and bruises. Nothing serious." he waved off "But we know that Rooter girl was lying. She lead Helen into an ambush, it is the only answer. So Krystal is going for desperate measures."
"If she does this, she could be killed!" Max answered, staring at his grandson.
"Yeah." Ben nodded, grinning proudly "Just like I could. Every day during that summer."
...
Max sighed heavily and rubbed his eyes. "She really does take after you; doesn't she?"
"She's a Tennyson." he smirked proudly
*at the Ship*
Krystal had been flying for about an hour now, silence filling the craft. The tension was so thick you could barely cut it with a knife. The emotions that were high were almost throttling "... Tell me. How much was real?" Krystal asked after a moment "And do not bullshit me."
"Back in the cell?" Swift asked. "The mind-blowing sex was real."
"You know what I meant!" Krystal snapped
"... Everything but me giving away the Rooters base and the fact I was 'giving up my life' since I didn't betray them. Everything about my feelings? My attraction? My devotion? My love? All of that was real." Swift explained seriously. Not overpaying her desires like she did in the cell, like she was a hormonal teen offered boobs for the first time. Not how she did later, acting like a pathetic fool desperate for any form of affection. Not mincing words. Speaking true and honest, serious
Though Krystal kept her eyes 'on the road', she wanted to see Swift with regret. 'Why do I attract the craziest women?'
"However. My loyalty to the Rooters is greater than my feelings. No matter how much I love you, I follow them." Swift responded just as serious as before
"Are you sure?" Krystal couldn't help but ask. There was a part of her that still felt sorry for Swift. She was basically raised in a fucking cult. Yes she was messed up and insane but it was what those sicos drilled into her mind
"Yes." she nodded
"So... I'm flying into a trap. When are they going to attack?" Krystal asked
"We aren't going to. Our plan for you has nothing to do with that." Swift responded
"Then what is your plan for me?" Krystal followed up.
"That is spoilers." she teased
"Fine. Then how did you plan to catch my mother so easily? You've been following me for months and had no idea about James' lover being psychic." Krystal asked
"Simple. My suit." she responded "If certain parts where taken off in the wrong way it sent a signal to the base. When all four signals where revived they know I have been captured. And the plan was, if I was captured, a week later I would give a fake location leading to Helen Tennyson leading a charge off world. We were preparing another capture method but this opportunity presented itself."
'I'm going to kill them. Every Rooter in that fucking building!' Ship thought angrily.
"... You spend all your time planning BS like this?" Krystal mocked
"Servantis is a genius. You'll realise this once you speak to him. You'll understand we are needed and join us." Swift said in a genuinely loving tone as she hugged Krystal from behind and nuzzled her neck, like she was talking about the two of them going to the beach
Krystal felt... Odd at those words. Not pissed, defiantly weirded out 'I don't like this. I really don't like this.' Ship thought
"Oh! We are here!" Swift smirked
Krystal saw that the base was actually between dimensions, almost flickering in between here and there. Almost like it was glitching in and out of existence. She looked in amazement 'She wasn't joking.' Both Krystal and Ship thought together as Swift used her ability to get them to slip into the ship
A mechanical voice welcomed them in, after it was authorised by the other side.
"Welcome... To the Tree." Swift smirked before flying away
"... At least it's not called 'The Fortress of Absolute Edge-Lord'." Krystal muttered to Ship.
"Well they are called the Rooters. Makes sense as a villain lair name." Ship shrugged
"Yeah, I know." Krystal answered as she landed the ship inside the hanger. She looked around, her eyes flicking around the room 'How many ships do they have?' She thought as she saw a multitude of ships for various travel and some from conquests... Before she had to jump out of the way and dodge a blast of radiation energy shot at her
'Son of a bitch!' Ship thought angrily as she hid behind a ship.
"Leander, that's mean. I even brought her here." Swift berated her colleague as she was sat atop the hanger, watching casually
Krystal snarled, transforming. Krystal leapt out of the cover and formed into Gemmer, absorbing the radiation blasts and shot it right back, blasting Leander in the stomach. The large man was pushed back; his feet causing the metal under to him buckle and peel up as he braced himself from the attack, before he stood tall and unharmed "... Crap." Krystal sweat dropped
Swift was sitting to the side as she saw this transpire. She wondered who would win in this. Her lover or her co-worker. She was more than eager to see how this would work
Krystal leapt and rolled out of the way, dodging Leander's optic radiation attack, she had to figure something out "Ship? Any ideas?"
"Well... What species is he?" Ship asked, the radiation not helping her right now
"He looks like that 'NRG' guy dad used a couple of times." Krystal admitted, trying to get a glimpse before getting shot at.
Ship groaned as she tried to think 'I've got an idea!' She thought as she changed Krystal's appearance to a Gourmand
"Huh? Spewer?" she asked
"This one eats anything!" Ship explained.
"True. But this is RADIATION!" Krystal answered, before using her tongues to whip away
"Didn't your dad say it can eat a warpstar when he was a kid?"
"... You've got me there." Krystal answered as she stood opposite Leander, who shot his eyebeams at her. But opening her mouth, Krystal began to ingest all the energy into herself.
"Huh?" Swift blinked in shock, along with Leander as Krystal grew up to fifty times her size... with a giant boulder-sized belly.
"Hic. BUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" Krystal hiccuped and then regurgitated the energy right back at Leander and ploughed him into four of the ships the Rooters had stolen.
"None of that was any of my fetishes but she still looked amazing..." Swift whispered
"Is he down?" Ship asked
"Only one way to be sure!" Krystal called as she turned into Speed Queen, rushed forth, and at the last second became Emerald to slam a fist so hard into his face that his face grill was all bent out of shape. The guy made no noise, but his head fell to the side and the orange glow lessons to show he was out cold "Okay. Let's start exploring." Krystal sighed and left "... Excuse me." Krystal pardoned herself from that nasty monster level burp.
"I'm with you." Ship nodded and was being observant.
Krystal left the hanger, knowing Swift was following her. Knowing the red skinned girl probably had a tracker in her suit, so the Rooters knew exactly where Krystal was in their base the entire time thanks to the stalker. But she didn't care. She knew she was walking into a trap, so she was going to kick the fucking trap over
"My, you are Max's Great Granddaughter." an old man wearing Rooter armour commented, leaning against the wall
Krystal glared at the Rooter, seeing the aged man before her... and was scowling. "You're Phil. Right? Grandpa Max's old Plumber comrade."
"You've done your homework." Phil commented
"How'd you end up with these guys?" Krystal questioned
"I was willin' to do what your grandpa wasn't. Making the hard decision for a greater good." Phil answered "After Savantis saved me of course."
"You mean 'brought you into this cult'?" Krystal glared making Phil roll his eyes and begin to transform "Oh crap." Krystal's eyes widened as her Nemetrix began to thrum. She knew what species he was turning into. It was a predictor
It was a tall pale greenish and silver furred and scaled creature with vestigial teeth, large claws and muscular legs to support his weight and size. Two feelers on his head with claw-like abdomen protrusions on his stomach. "C'mere little girl. HSSSH!" He hissed out and lunged at her.
Krystal growled and was encased in a red glow, transforming into the same species
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Swift backed up in shock as she saw Krystal transform and bite into Phil's shoulder with her fangs, flinging him through the wall and into another room.
It was a battle of wild animals
Phil rolled back onto his feet and ran at Krystal, seeing her like a rabid beast that needed to be put down.
Krystal however, was in control. With the help of Ship and her experience, she could control herself. She spat out webbing at Phil's legs, making him double-step back so Krystal's legs could jab at him, aiming for his gut. And at the last second she changed, Amazon delivering a powerful punch to his face. There was a loud 'CRACK' as he was knocked out
Krystal panted heavily as she transformed back, glaring down at Phil... and turned back to the corridor where Swift was waiting.
"Take me now..." Swift swooned, leaning against a door... And then yelling as the door accidentally opened, falling through it
Krystal and ship let out a small laugh at Swift, seeing as this was a woman who was manipulating them; it was good to see her get a little mud on her face. And it showed she wasn't some insane killer or monster. She was just a girl who didn't know any better.
"I'm okay." Swift called out as she walked out "Ooh! My room is around here!"
Krystal sighed as she followed, a little unnerved and worried that she would see some sort of stalker's shrine to her... What was she thinking? Of course there's going to be a shrine dedicated to her.
"Swift. I haven't got time for this." she sighed
"Come on, don't you want to see how mummy gets off?" she teased sexily back, making Krystal fight back her blush of arousal
'That's enough!' Ship hissed as she was about to emerge from her home to slap a bitch in the face.
"I have things to do." Krystal stated and ignored her
"... Fine." She frowned and lead Krystal deeper into 'The Tree'.
"Just you and Servantis left. I have to admit, I thought this would be harder." Krystal admitted
"Oh, it's not just us." Swift smiled as her tail swished playfully.
"What do you-" Krystal started only for the wall next to her to basically explode as four red hands grabbed her "GAH! U-UNCLE MANNY?" Krystal panicked as she looked behind her.
Manny's unflinching face glared at Krystal "Krystal." He responded before he slammed her hard into the ground
"G-GAH!" Krystal grunted as she almost coughed up blood.
"Yeah, he's one of the strongest Tetramands here." Swift smiled as she flew up.
'Krystal!' Ship thought as she transformed her into a small alien to get out of Manny's grip.
Krystal quickly rushed away as her Galvan form "Okay! Time to go Dino!" she thought
"Got it!" Ship answered, immediately turning Krystal into her Vaxasaurian form.
Krystal roared, her form quickly growing "TITANASAUR!" she called as she became the orange and tan scaled dinosaur girl, wearing a black and blue wrestling leotard. Tall and strong with breasts that, compared to her body, where a clear E cup. She roared and slammed her hands down, causing a shock wave on the ships floor
Manny lost his footing briefly as he fell on his butt and looked at Krystal...before getting a face full of ship front.
"Uncle Manny, why are you doing this?!" she snapped
Manny pushed the ship off of him, still emotionless as before, unresponsive before he gave his answer. "Because of you."
"What?" she asked, heart broken
Manny got back up and leapt at Krystal, punching her in the stomach, pushing her back with her feet digging into the ground.
She gagged lightly, some blood dripping from her lips, before she began to physically grow 'I'm sorry. Uncle Manny.' She thought in pain before she clobbered him into the ground with a massive fist.
She had to stop him!
"Please! Just stay down!" She called out "Just stay down!"
Manny tried to get back up, but he looked like he was one more punch to becoming jam. Krystal panted and began to cry as she was forced to fight her family.
"Uncle Manny..." she whispered and fell to her knees, turning into her human state
Swift blinked and wanted to clap her for congratulations. But seeing her like that...probably meant getting a boot to the throat. She walked forwards slowly and knelt down, hugging her
Krystal froze as she felt Swift's embrace. It felt sickening "... What did you guys do to him?" she hissed
"... Woke him up?" she hissed and pushed Swift from her body
"Yes. Manny is one of us." She answered. "Always was."
"FUCK OFF!" Krystal snapped "That is a lie! Leave me the fuck alone!"
Swift was stunned, seeing Krystal look at her with disgust... and frowned. "I'm sorry."
Krystal stood tall and walked away, almost running 'I hate them. I hate them!' She thought as she left. She was going closer and closer to the bridge
'Krystal.' Ship thought sadly as she saw the terror that The Rooters had caused.
"Leaving so soon?" A voice spoke through her mind
"Huh?"
"You were close to the end. Besides, you haven't met me yet." The voice answered
"Who are you?" Krystal turned around and looked for the source of the voice.
"My name is Sarvantis. Now, Ms Tennyson, how about a family reunion?" he asked before the flames of a Pyronite and Pierce's needles flew through the air
Ship worked fast, summoning a shield made of Emerald to block the attack
"Uncle Alan? Uncle Pierce?" Krystal asked
"Krystal! Look at their necks!" Ship called
"... you bastards!" Krystal hissed, seeing small disks on her family's necks. There was a large flash of yellow as she rushed forwards, becoming a large and heavily armoured alien. She had yellow armour with machine looking arms and a very large upper body "Spinrella!" she called, the quills and flames bouncing off her body. With two powerful punches she knocked them out, not even giving them a chance to respond. She entered her Nechrofriggeon form and knelt down, trying to tug the disks off
"Control disks. Highjacking the body." Ship summorised
"And biometrically fused in." Krystal added "I... don't have time for this!"
"I know..." Ship said sadly
With gritted teeth Krystal rushed out, soon arriving at the bridge of the ship... where the man called Servantis was waiting
He was a tall and thin man, red-skinned like a Cerebrocrustacean with a lofty cranium and features, thin razor-like fingers with three toes, wearing a black and silver bodysuit, almost like a Plumber's uniform.
"So... You're the madman behind all this?" she asked
"I prefer 'Intellectual Leader'." Servantis answered calmly. "I know about you, Krystal Tennyson."
"Kinda hard not to." she joked
"You've led quite the life, Ms Tennyson. Living in luxury, wearing an ultimate weapon on your wrist like a toy." Servantis continued
"More of a life preserver you asshat. Now where is my mother before I cook you like the overgrown lobster you are." Krystal hissed as the Nemitrix glowed to show her rage
"Ah. And highly emotional. As expected of someone pampered such as yourself. As well as someone who has been through what you have. Highly unstable." Savantis said mockingly
"'Highly unstable'? You try fighting your family! See how you feel!" Krystal snapped
"And thus, you're proving my point." Servantis answered. "You want to see your mother; don't you?"
"Yes..." Krystal asked, feeling uneasy... And she was suddenly sent flying by a high speed punch to the face. She collapsed to the floor as she could only see the faintest blur attack her "M... Mama?" she muttered, seeing the raptor like feet holding the black balls. She looked up... and was stunned, seeing her step-mother before her. Emotionless and with her visor down. She was serious.
"Wow, mama is just as sexy as the daughter!" Swift commented as she walked around Helen, looking her up and down, before turning to Krystal with a smirk "Not that it matters, the baby girl is what I prefer!... Unless threesomes are on the table."
"Swift."
"Right right, sorry sir." Swift said with fear in her voice before she coughed and grew serious
"I'm... You're not going to get away with this." Krystal hissed, pulling herself to her feet... As Kevin walked in "U-Uncle Kevin? Uncle Kevin, Servantis-!"
"Kevin. If you would." Servantis spoke up, giving an order to him.
"As you ordered, Master."
"Master? Uncle Kevin, no!" Krystal frowned as she tried to get up, only to be smacked down by Helen... and Kevin reached for her Omegatrix
"Hey! Hands off!" Ship snapped, morphing into a Pyronite gun and shooting out a blast of flames which forced Kevin's to retract his hand
"ARGH!" Kevin recoiled as he was almost burned.
"That little Mechamorph of yours is annoying." Servantis frowned
"My partner and friend." Krystal frowned as she kicked Kevin back, flinching at the act
And in walked Manny, Alan, Pierce, Phil and that weird NRG guy
Krystal's eyes shrunk back in fear. Her family...And now these people. How? How could she fight back?
How could she beat ALL of them?
'D-damn it.' She frowned and clenched her fist, before she was shot at by Pierce's quills. She began to feel weezy but she rushed forwards, changing into... she didn't even know, just throwing random attacks as her body began to grow heavy
And she was, in tern, beaten down. One after another, the Rooters and her family took their hits in. And the last thing Krystal saw... was Swift's face, looking sad in hre direction.
There was one final blow... and Krystal fell into unconsciousness
*time skip*
Krystal didn't know what was going on. The world was... blurred. She could not hear properly, her vision was smudged and her body was heavy. She was hanging from her wrists from a chain, the Omegatrix encased in several dozen locks. Her jacket, shoes and socks where taken but that was all she was stripped off, apparently still given a lot of modesty
"You are finally awake." the voice of the madman stated before her
Krystal looked slowly and heavily at Servantis. Not thinking... just acting on emotions.
"Looks like the healing process is going well. Only a mild conclusion and out for less than an hour." he commented
Her eyes were heavy as she began to get a clearer head "You..." she hissed
"You will soon learn that our way is right." Servantis answered
"You... cult leading... asshole." she hissed
Servantis sighed heavily and turned away. "You honestly think that? We are the ones who help guide this Universe."
Krystal was silent for a moment before she started to laugh
"You're laughing? Why? Why are you laughing?" He asked as he turned back.
"Oh... Oh god... My sides... My sides... It hurts! It hurts!" Krystal laughed "You... You think you guys actually have *any* impact on the galaxy? Oh this hurts! Hahahahahahahahaha!"
"Of course we do!" Servantis glared. "All that we have done, every person and deal, it's been to the benefit of the Universe! You are a child with a weapon and no experience of true war!"
...
And Krystal just kept laughing in his face, possibly even harder than before
"Fine. If that's your reaction." He frowned.
"Dude... dude... dude..." Krystal wheezed as she calmed down "I looked into stuff Swift was saying on the flight over here." she said simply, looking him in the eye "I looked into the events she described you where a part of, which was a lot really. And you want to know what I found? Nothing. What you did? It meant squat. Events did not change. New governing bodies kept the old ones views, their plans. There where one or two that actually mattered but based on your track record those where flukes! Honestly dude, this is pathetic! You have this big base with some of the highest defenses I have ever seen, smart enough so my dad did not find you for months, out of paranoia for people finding for you... and no one cares! You are such small fries no one cares if you exist and even if they did, they don't enough care to even look for you! You are all nothing! It is pathetic... and hilarious!"
Servantis' lobes began to spark in anger, hearing all that Krystal was saying and spat in his face of all what they had done.
"So... so..." Krystal panted lightly "Do you see it? Do you see how pointless your little cult is? Because, if so... tell me what the fuck your deal is so I can laugh even harder latter when I kick your face into a sun."
"You'll have to try and get out first." He answered.
"Nah, I got ideas. I know your type. Out of the... currently fifteen ideas I have, you'll have missed three of them. Oh, sixteen ideas! Wanna keep start talking, your chances are dwindling by the second!"
His electricity sparked through his mind and shocked Krystal out of spite and annoyance.
"AH!" she hissed in pain, almost limp "Oh... fuck... did I hit a nerve, mister limp dick?" she winked
...
"Your childish humour is infuriating and the reason for all of this. Everything that will happen is your fault." the madman hissed
"Really? Lay blame. On others." She panted
"You don't get it, do you? You stupid girl." Servantis hissed and slapped her across the face "You are a child with the most advanced tech in the universe strapped to your wrist, and what have you done with it? Rushed around town to get video games. Scare off reporters. Sexual escapades and blackmail. At your age your father had already defeated Vilgax the Warlord several times over, to the point he defeated him for good! He saved the universe from the monsterous Dagon! Existence from the rogue Celestialsapian! He single handidly stopped the Inccarsian/Thep Khaffin invasion of Earth! He defeated the Highbreed! He defeated Aggrigor and his Ultimatrix in human form, that was 'Ultimate Kevin'!"
Krystal bit her lip as she listened, her fists clenching
"At your age your your father had earned his power, he was a hero!" Servantis continued "Meanwhile, what are you? A horny child who cares about her own entertainment and satisfaction! You are a danger to the entire galaxy! And as such, we have to put you in your place! We have to protect everyone from you!"
"What are you talking about?" she repeated with another glare
"It is rather simple, child." Servantis mocked "Year ago, before your father proved himself, I kidnapped several halfbreed children, true halfbreeds like I had longed to create! My obsession made real! And with them I was able to duplicate the effects on myself, Phillip and Leander as I finally had material to cross reference against our darling Swift's DNA."
"So this isn't the first time you kidnapped them?" she glared
"No. We kidnapped them, whipped their minds of the situation, and implanted them with a prototype of our control chips. We waited, knowing that they would grow close to Ben Tennyson and if he proved himself unworthy we would end him." Servantis explained "However, when we realised you where unworthy... we discovered that the prototypes had degraded in their blood streams and had basically faded away. And so we took them so they would remember their place."
"That's what Swift meant by 'they where always part of the Rooters'. You guys are real disgusting." she spat
"Yes, but their purpose was to lure you in." Servantis continued "Because now, once we finish testing to be sure these devices can change DNA shifting, we will implant you with one. You will be able to enter political marriages and directly bend intergalactic politics to our desires. You are unworthy of your powers, and as such we will take over that decision making for you."
...
"Wow." Krystal sighed, her voice a soft growl "Just... wow. Yeah. You are as pathetic as I thought you where, if not more so. Want to know why?"
"Amuse me." Servantis said arrogantly
"Okay." Krystal glared "The reason you don't think I am worthy is because you... do. Not. Know. Me. You show how... as I said, how nothing you are as an 'inelegance black ops' agency. You just follow the news and social media. You think I don't know how those guys see me? Yeah. You are just parroting what a lot of the morons on there say. 'Oh, she is just spending all of her time messing about', 'she isn't a hero, she is a party girl', 'look at how she only cares about getting girlfriends, her dad should be ashamed of her' and so on and so on and god!"
"Get to the point." Servantis hissed, his eyes narrowing
"The point is that my heroics have all been basically spy work/low key shit!" Krystal snapped "I stopped Khyber and Psycobos from making Nemitrix's and selling them on the black market, probably the worst arms race the galaxy would have ever faced! I stopped a multi-dimensional serial killer! I stopped a Lewodan invasion and slaughter, as they sent an entire three hundred person space ship of their babies as payment... as fucking food... because... I don't even know why, because of the Queen's pride? Speaking of the invasion and that fucking Queen! She attempted to take over the galaxy by mind controlling me and my entire family, taking me as a wife and using our mind controlled family to having basically unparalleled power in galactic politics!"
You could almost see Servantis shaking in rage as Krystal ranted
"So, to put it simply, you morons say I do not deserve to be a hero! That I am some stupid child who doesn't deserve my Omegatrix! Well what I say to that?" Krystal glared "You are an arrogant! Self centered! Egomaniac who is not even a pebble in the galactic ocean but see's himself as the largest whale there is! Your plan will not work, I am taking you all in and you are going to be spending the rest of your days in a MINIMUM security jail cell!" and with that she spat at his face
"We shall see." he glared, turning to leave
"... Swift's mother was part of your cult to, wasn't she?" she asked
"Yes." he nodded "She was sent on an assassination mission against an Aerophibian political figure. Instead they fell in love and ran away. We found them. Killed them. And took their child, knowing she would turn out better than her mother had." Servantis explained, sounding disgusted as he left the cell
"Twenty ways to get out!" Krystal roared
SLAM!
