Fun fact, it was when I was writing the last chapter and this one that I got the inspiration to go back and write C-Sha into Evil!Blanc's backstory.

Chapter 20

Chrome looked at the girl who was following after her. "E-Sha.. Was it?" The green-eyed girl nodded at her. "What do you want?"

"...Would you be willing to help me?" E-Sha asked, a nervous look on her face. "...My friend, someone I knew from childhood, was sent to the breeding room as soon as she was old enough to start bearing children."

"...Why?" Chrome asked, confused. "What happened?"

E-Sha sighed heavily. "My friend was badly injured in a fall when we were ten. Left a scar on her face and Green Void..."

"She doesn't like damaged goods, huh?" Chrome asked, instantly understanding what E-Sha was talking about. "Alright, I'll come with." Chrome had some idea what she was about to get herself into.

Several minutes later...

"I thought I was prepared..." Chrome muttered as she and E-Sha walked into the breeding cells. "I was not."

There were women who were naked and visibly pregnant in the cells. Some of them were obviously due any day now, others had just started to show, most of them had looks on their faces of pure despair. As they walked through the cells, Chrome twitched as she saw several girls in pillories being mounted from behind by males. "What the hell are you doing?!" She yelled at them.

"You'll have to ignore them." The guard that was leading her and E-Sha through the cells told her. "Green Void gave them a concoction that keeps them from focusing on anything but breeding. On the plus side, it'll wear off in a few days, so they'll start thinking more clearly then."

"Lovely." Chrome muttered and looked at E-Sha. "Is your friend here?" E-Sha shook her head and trembled. "Are there other rooms?"

The guard nodded and lead her and E-Sha into another section of the breeding cells.

When the smell hit Chrome, she winced. "Oh hell, don't tell me..."

"Tentacle breeding pits?!" E-Sha stared in horror as she and Chrome walked past several doors that were solidly shut, save for a strip near the top so that they could look inside the rooms.

Chrome grimaced as E-Sha turned and puked while they saw one naked woman with her stomach bulging out and looking very deformed. "This is horrible." Chrome thought back to when she was in Eden and had seen this happen to some of the adventurers. She sighed and shook her head sadly. "If your friend is here..."

"She's not." E-Sha coughed as she cleaned her mouth. "Let's go on."

Eventually the two found themselves in front of a metal door and the guard opened it up. "I'm warning you," the man said to them, "the ones in here..." He shook his head. "If your friend is in here, she'd be better off dead."

As the door opened, both E-Sha and Chrome looked inside and at first they didn't see anyone, but they saw that the room itself was a living blob of flesh with girls sticking out of it. "S-SHA?!" E-Sha screamed as she saw her friend, or what was left of her friend as she saw the girl's swollen and deformed stomach, engorged breasts and the scar on the S-Sha's face, which was the only reason that E-Sha recognized her.

"E...Sha..?" The girl had brown hair and green eyes. "Don't... ARRRRGH!" She cried out as tentacles slithered around her. "I...NNNGH! NO! I don't want to give birth again, stop!"

Both E-Sha and Chrome stared in horror while the guard looked on with a neutral expression on his face as S-Sha went into labor.

"E-Sha!" S-Sha looked at her friend with tears in her eyes. "Kill me."

"What?!" E-Sha gasped. "But I..."

"Please?!" She whimpered as she felt the monsters inside of her start to move and make their way out of her. "My arms, my legs, they're both gone... My insides... ARRRRGH!" She cried out as the tentacle monster inside of her slithered out and dropped to the floor. "I've been modified, E-Sha..." She panted and groaned. "All I can do is pump out these monsters. Please?" She whimpered and cried out as she felt another tentacle monster sliding out of her. "I'm already dead, E-Sha! Even if you freed me from this thing, it's regulating my heart, my lungs, my everything."

E-Sha stiffened as she felt a hand on her shoulder. "She's right." Chrome told E-Sha. "I've seen this before. If you're caught by a tentacle monster, you're turned into a seed bed and the eggs inside of you change your body so that you can reproduce with the monsters, but you're unable to live normally afterword." E-Sha gave her a horrified look and Chrome sighed softly. "Sadly, I lack the means to kill all the monsters off right now. I'm pretty sure I can create something that can kill them if I get some time."

"...Please do." E-Sha said and looked at S-Sha. "I...I'm really sorry." She was about to step forward when Chrome grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing? I want to hug her goodbye."

"Don't!" S-Sha and Chrome said at the same time.

Chrome sighed at the sad look in her eyes. "If you do go in here, the wall will reach out and pull you in." Snapping her arms to the side, several razor wires came out at once. "Are you ready?" She looked at S-Sha, who nodded and smiled.

"Thank you... E-Sha, I love you, I'm sorry I have to go out this way. Please, live for me, okay?" E-Sha nodded and her eyes teared up.

When Chrome's razor wires cut S-Sha into pieces, revealing that her blood had turned green, E-Sha shuddered and turned to walk out. "I...I want to be left alone."

"If you want to talk," Chrome said as she pulled her razor wires back in and shook the ichor and blood off of them. "I'll be willing to listen."

E-Sha nodded and walked off.

Chrome sighed softly, truly sorry that she had to do that. 'Sadly, that girl was too far gone to be saved.'

There were things about the world that sucked, and creatures like those were among the worst.

Meanwhile...

"Have you calmed down now?" Purple Heart asked Chika, who nodded against her. "Okay, now, I want you to take a deep breath and explain yourself."

Chika sniffled and hugged Purple Heart tightly. "See, when I was born I was raised with the knowledge that my job was to be pretty enough to catch Green Void's attention." Purple Heart nodded and rubbed the naked girl's back. "Ten years ago, she chose me out of all the girls my age. It was such a great honor!"

"I can imagine." Purple Heart answered her. "What happened to the others?"

Chika shook her head. "Most of them were allowed to live normal lives, but as soon as they turned twenty-two or so, they'd be forced to be bred. Green Void wanted the best looking women and men to have lots of children."

"I see..." Purple Heart mentally sighed. 'In some ways, she was better than Blanc, allowing the people to live, but in others...'

"However..." Chika shuddered, "if you had an accident that left a bad scar on your body or grew to be ugly, you were sent to be bred with tentacle monsters and other creatures."

"...This is going to sound weird, but I was under the impression that tentacle monsters were natural and wild. Why would Green Void need to breed them?"

"Two reasons, you saw her Nightmare form, right?" Chika asked and shifted so that she was sitting in Purple Heart's lap. "She didn't breed tentacle monsters because she wanted to line the dungeon with them or anything. She took tentacles into her own body to make it more potent. But every time she did, her libido would spike and there would be an orgy that happened as a result."

Purple Heart was blushing while Chika rested her head on the CPU's chest. "I... See... Did she ever use those tentacles?"

Chika shook her head. "No. Her tentacles were for her personal use in her Nightmare form. Anyway..." She sighed softly. "The second reason is because the fluids and other parts of tentacle monsters can be used to actually feed people." She could feel Purple Heart's confusion and smiled softly. "Tentacles can be drained of their fluids and cooked. When ingested, they modify a human's body and can be used to make sure that we're all really sexy when we get older."

"...That's..." Purple Heart had to pause, it wasn't a bad reason, actually. "With the way she makes people have children, she'd need to make sure that there was a ready food supply." Even if the implications were horrific, at least Vert did take care of the people of Leanbox, somewhat.

Chika nodded. "Yes. I've been eating tentacle monster parts since I was old enough to eat solid food." At first it had been kind of gross, but at least it paid off with her being rather sexy. "Anyway, I was fourteen and became Green Void's personal lover and attendant. My job was to make sure that her bed was warm at night and that she woke up every morning by orgasming."

"...Sounds rough." Purple Heart said softly and rubbed Chika's back some more.

"For ten years, Green Void tells me that I'm the most beautiful woman in all of Leanbox," Chika ran a finger over Purple Heart's stomach, "but then a couple of months ago, she starts commenting on how I was getting up in age and that it was time for me to start thinking about children..." She shivered softly. "She told me that she was so fond of me that she would make sure that I was bred by only the most handsome men with the biggest dicks." She sniffled softly. "I mean, I'm not against the idea, but I'd never be allowed anything after that. My whole life would be with a pregnant belly and popping children out. Eventually I would be put in the tentacle breeding rooms," her eyes watered up and she started to cry again, "because my beauty will be gone and Green Void wouldn't have wanted that. She would have used my children to satisfy her sexual urges, and then I'd be used to basically breed food and eventually..." Chika sniffled and bawled incoherently.

"I'm so sorry," Purple Heart said softly. She couldn't imagine how bad things had to be for something like this to be considered normal. As Chika calmed down, she spoke again, "I'm guessing this has gone on for years?" Chika nodded at her. "...Chika... What happens eventually?"

"...Your body is destroyed from within..." Chika answered her, "eventually you become part of the tentacle beast and lose all sense of self."

Purple Heart stared in utter horror. 'That... Holy fuck, that's what..?'

That was horrifying, disgusting and, most importantly of all... It made her want to outlaw tentacle porn across Gamindustri if and when she got back home.

Chika blinked as Purple Heart started to breath heavily. Pushing herself off of Purple Heart, she looked at the way Purple Heart's face was flush and smiled softly. "It's bothering you again?"

Purple Heart shuddered and nodded. "I... I apologize, especially after you said all of that, but I..." She blinked as Chika put a finger on her lips and smiled at her.

"It's okay, I'm a well trained slut after all. I can do this much at least." Chika whispered as she pushed Purple Heart onto the bed. "...I must say, your human form is cute, but this form is..." She licked her lips, "Divine." Both Chika and Purple Heart groaned at the pun.

Purple Heart shivered at her touches and made a mental note to help Chika out in the future.

She wasn't able to think much after that as her desires came rushing back while Chika helped her deal with them.

Meanwhile...

"So..." A female voice spoke up as the person the voice belonged to stood up from her chair and walked out of the room and outside and looked off in the distance. "First White Void and now Green Void are both dead, huh?"

The person was silent, a contemplative look on her face, before she suddenly smirked. "Interesting. I doubt their people would have done it and I'm not sensing a new CPU taking their place."

"Um..?" A second person, also female, spoke up nervously. "What will you do about it?"

The first person smirked and chuckled. "Nothing. With any luck, the other Voids will be eliminated by this person. It'll save me the trouble at least."

Her eyes gleamed as the sun started to set over the horizon. "I wonder, just who are you?"

One thing was certain...

She couldn't wait to meet the person who was killing the Voids off.

To be continued...

Uh oh. Mysterious new person? Who could... I'm sure most of you already have an idea.

Poor S-Sha (remember, she and E-Sha were originally two different people) though.

Blame my beta reader, he pointed out that there had to be a way to feed everyone in Leanbox and then the idea popped into my head.
