Okay, now that I've wrapped up my finals in school, I can allocate more time to working on the next few chapters... up until school starts once more. So, after a long wait, here we are once again! Also, I was recently contacted by a Wattpad user by the username of "NathanIgoJr", whose stories I have checked out, some are pretty good, and some are pretty funny! I really think works like this deserve more attention, so... SHOUTOUT TO NATHANIGOJR!
After several hours, Kira slowly began to awaken. Her eyesight was a bit disoriented, but she managed to get a glimpse of what little light there was with the blackout curtains blocking most of it. From the look of it, it had to be the late afternoon. She sat up, letting out an sigh of exertion; she felt a strong sensation of vertigo, and the muscles all over her body were aching.
"...Ohh... what happened...?" she said out loud, rubbing her head.
At that moment, the door opened, and Aster stepped inside. A smile spread over his face upon seeing his mate conscious again as he made his way over to her.
"Kira!" he said, hugging her. "You're up! Are you okay?"
"...Agh... I feel... really lightheaded..." Kira responded.
At that moment... something entered her mind. She happened to recall something that happened with a Xenomorph Queen that somehow was out in the open, made its way to her house, and did something to her. After it happened, she recalled trying to attack Kai and Aster, despite the latter's pleaing for her to remember.
"Aster..." Kira began. "...I-I had... a horrible nightmare...!"
"What happened?" Aster asked.
"...I-I..." Kira stammered. "...I... tried to hurt you, Aster...! I felt like... like I wanted to kill you...!"
Aster knew well what she had done... but figured it was best to keep it a secret from her. He thought it would destroy her inside if she found out it really happened.
"Well... your nightmare's over. And that's all that matters." Aster said.
Kira sighed. "Where's Kai? Is he okay?"
"Yes." Aster responded. "We were able to drive off the Queen and her servants."
"That's good, Kira said, standing. "Now, I just need to get into some clothes..."
After she got finished putting on a new set of clothing, she went downstairs, where she found Kai and Sugarcube had been waiting along with Sam and SORIA. Kai appeared to be trying to debate with the latter two quite intensely.
"But it's what I've been telling you!" Kai said. "We remember that Star and Chase were still around when we left! How do you not recognize Aster and Sugarcube, either!?"
"It is common knowledge among humans that Xenomorphs are highly-dangerous predatory aliens that pose a major threat to all other indigenous life." SORIA said.
"Hey!" Kira said, rushing down the stairs. "SORIA, what has gotten into your circuits!? You know Aster and Star are not aggressive! Also, WHERE IS STAR!?"
"As we have previously mentioned, we do not recall there ever being any living thing by the name of 'Star' in this residence. I have no data of it on any of my hard drives." SORIA said.
"Yeah, Kira..." Sam said. "...I think you might have a brain disease or something. Better hope your health insurance is still good, because I need to take you to a psychiatric specialist to have you evaluated."
"Well, answer me this:" Kira began. "if Aster and Sugarcube are dangerous, as you say Xenomorphs are, why are they not attacking us right at this very minute?"
"Because you said they were your mates." Sam said.
"Right!" Kira said, finally feeling satisfied. "So, do you really think that Xenos like them are really all that bad?"
Sam sighed impatiently. "It seems you never learn, Kira. Xenomorphs are highly-dangerous extraterrestrials that live solely for the purpose of killing anything for their survival."
Kira's face fell again. She was utterly shocked by the logic that her "friend" and "personal assistant" were both using right now.
"You are completely contradicting yourselves..." she said.
"Well, anyways..." Sam began. "...I'm gonna go head out and find a good therapist to help you with your mental recovery, Kira. Remember, as a friend, I care about your wellbeing."
Kira decided against saying anything in protest; it seemed like anything Sam heard simply went in one ear and out the other, totally bypassing her brain.
"And I must now enter a standby mode whilst I am in the process of updating my drivers and firmware." SORIA said, powering down.
SORIA then promptly shut down, leaving Kira, Aster, Kai, and Sugarcube all on their own.
"Okay... this is getting ridiculous." Kira said. "There has to be some reason why everything's so whack!"
"Well... I am starting to get a feeling of what's going on..." Kai said.
"Yeah? Like what?" Kira asked.
Before Kai even got a chance to answer, there was a loud bang that made them all jump. The front door to the house had been blasted open with the force equivalent to a sledgehammer. Stepping inside was, not Sam... but Kira. Rather, a clone of her with a very stoic expression on her face. The pair of humans and Xenos stared in shock.
"The com-synth...!" Kai uttered.
"Shit, not her again!" Kira exclaimed.
Immediately, the clone rushed at Kira, attempting to perform a karate kick at her, but the real Kira was quick to dodge it and give her own kick at the clone. Kai stepped in, grabbing the ash shovel from next to the fireplace and striking the clone over the head. She merely flinched and returned her gaze to Kai, rushing at him and pinning him to the floor.
Aster and Sugarcube were still overcome with shock at the sight of two Kiras... but one of them did not have any brainwaves, curiously. No heartbeat, either. It merely seemed like an empty shell of Kira to them.
Kira took action immediately and picked up a chair from the dining table, which she hit the clone on her back with. The chair broke and the clone collapsed briefly, allowing Kai to stand back up. However, the com-synth showed no sign of injury and slowly began to stand back up. Instead of rushing at either of the two, who assumed martial arts fighting stances, she merely began to pace with her hands behind her back. She looked at Kira very coldly.
"You are but an unconvincing imposter." the clone said. "For I am Kira Sykes."
Kira shook her head. "You are not me! You are nothing like me! You're just a vile, relentless computer program!" she said.
"I must do away with any who attempt to impersonate me, as there can only be one true Kira Sykes. This means me!" the clone said.
"Don't think you, made of a bunch of zeros and ones, can do away with beings who are adapted to survive!" Kai mocked.
Finally, Aster made up his mind. He had to kill the clone, even if its resemblance to Kira did not make it feel right to him. It was the fact that it resembled her that made him so hesitant to take action. He took the clone by surprise when she wasn't paying attention to either of them, and impaled her.
"That's what happens when you impersonate my mate!" Aster said.
The com-synth of Kira began to flicker in a distortion field of code and static while Aster's tail was still stuck through her. She regurgitated a thick, bluish fluid. There was no blood being spilled; the clone was simply glitching like crazy.
Aster withdrew his tail, and the clone continued to glitch... but it showed signs of slow recovery from the impalement.
"I think the synth is about to regenerate!" Kai said. "Get upstairs, Kira! It's definitely you she's after! We'll do what we can to try and get rid of her!"
Kira immediately rushed to her bedroom and barricaded the door with a large bureau. Then, she proceeded to pull out a silver case that she had concealed in her closet, opening up the combination locks on the two sides of it. All the while this was happening, the com-synth started to pound on the door.
"Stop! Get away from there!" Kai's voice came from the other room.
The sound of a struggle began to ensue outside of the room; there were clearly things being knocked over, and some even breaking. But that did not matter to Kira right now.
Kira opened the case she got out... and from it, she pulled out a .45-caliber handgun that she purchased shortly after moving in to her new home. She decided to get it as a means of defense if anyone were to forcibly break into her home. Whether it was a regular robber, or a government agent, she would mow them down to protect her mate and daughter.
Now that she was armed in a practical sense, she pushed the dresser back out of the way and made her way down the stairs. She saw Aster and Sugarcube struggling against the com-synth, who was lifting up large pieces of furniture effortlessly and hurling it at them. Kai was on the ground, bleeding and bruised, but not so much that it looked like he was dying.
She aimed her gun at the clone... and squeezed the trigger. A loud bang went off and the clone began to glitch out again. Kira continued to fire as Kai covered his ears and the two Xenos took shelter in the kitchen. She did not stop until the weapon was unloaded, as indicated by the slide locking back.
The com-synth had become an amorphous mass of code that lingered in the air for a moment... and then dissipated, sinking into the ground with lines of cyan binary code scattering in all directions. Kira let out a relieved sigh.
"I think it's gone." Kira said.
"Agh..." Kai said. "...that's good... hey... could you get me an ice pack or something...?"
"Sure." Kira answered.
She went to her fridge with a dish towel, and get ice from the dispenser to fill the towel. After which, she gave it to Kai, who placed it on his bruised leg.
"You just wait here for a minute. I'm just gonna put my gun away, and then I'll grab some hydrogen peroxide and bandages from my medicine cabinet." Kira said.
She went upstairs, put her gun back into its case, and was about to head over to her bedroom's bathroom... but she stopped, placing her hands on her stomach, which was making a fairly loud gurgling noise.
"Ohh... I feel weird..." Kira commented.
It felt like her organs were sloshing around inside of her, which caused a slight sensation of nausea. She would potentially describe the sensation being like her insides were changing in shape and size. She was also starting to sway slightly, as she was feeling an onset of dizziness. But that was only the start; things began to get weirder...
Kira's skin appeared to be bubbling like a thick molasses. It was creating a very strange feeling like her flesh was turning to liquid or something. She brought up her arm to examine it... and she was able to make out jet-black patches covering it, slowly spreading out in branchlike patterns. She could even feel her bones changing in shape; it felt like they had softened to clay and were being molded telekinetically.
She tried rubbing off the black coloring... but found that it was actually part of her skin. It had turned to a sleek, vinyl-like hide. It was happening all over her body, including her other arm, her legs, her torso, and her head and face. The dizzying sensation that was coming over her was only intensifying, coupled with the bizarre feeling of her muscle tissue squirming around inside of her like a bunch of worms.
"...A-ah..." Kira moaned as she fell onto all fours. "...what's... happening to me...?"
Her hair began to rapidly fall out, including her eyebrows and eyelashes, leaving her bald, and she felt her head lengthening in the back. Then, she felt her clothes starting to get tighter, indicating that she was growing rapidly. Kira was not sure what was going on... but it was starting to feel so good.
She could feel her internal organs changing in shape and size, and her bones felt like clay being molded into a different shape. There was a strange, tingly sensation that spread all across her body, spanning from the surface of her skin to deep into her muscles.
Her eyes closed themselves... and her eyelids sealed. She could not open them. For a brief moment, she was worried that she had gone blind... but surprisingly, her vision returned to her, but in a very different way. It was not light she was seeing, but rather... sound that she could see. It appeared that she was gaining some form of echolocation.
Kira began to note that her clothing was getting tight. Her jeans and lower undergarment were the first to go; they ripped at the back, which relieved pressure she was feeling in her posterior... and it turned out that she was growing a tail. She could feel each individual segment of vertebrae forming as it lengthened. Her legs were also lengthening, and her buttocks became more... pronounced... which caused what was left of her trousers and panties to slide off.
Next came Kira's top, which was tightening, especially in the back. There were four distinct points where she felt pressure, which became overbearing until it eventually ripped through the back of her shirt, causing it to fall to the floor. Even after it came off, she could still feel the four spots on her back tingling as they became more enlongated. Her bra was still on properly... but not for long.
Kira could feel her bra tightening as well; this was due to her... assets... expanding in size. She was no longer within her D-size boundary, especially since she could feel her only remaining article of clothing about to give from the tightness. The strap of her bra eventually snapped under the pressure of her inflating tits, and it simply fell to the floor, leaving the transforming Kira completely naked.
Her tongue was going through a change of its own. She could feel it becoming thicker, harder, and longer... especially at the front. In fact, she gained some sort of muscle memory... and she could actually split it horizontally, moving each portion up and down... like a second pair of jaws...
Kira was slowly starting to realize what was going on... and she enjoyed every second of the heavenly sensation that her transformation was manifesting in her entire body. It was surprisingly not painful in any way (save for the dull aching in her bones from them changing in size and shape, which somehow still felt pleasant to her).
The orgasmic feeling Kira was experiencing made her feel quite weak and drowsy. She laid herself on the ground, continuing to be enraptured by the sensation as it made her quickly doze... and within seconds, she was peacefully asleep.
Well, things keep getting weirder and weirder, huh? I'm sure a lot of you know what's up, but I'll be sure to explain in future chapters. Sorry about the wait time, but y'know... university finals, right? Anyways, thanks for the continued support! I'll catch you all later! Keep holding on...
