Nega's Victory
It was a sad sight to behold.
Something was broken inside Shantae. Ever since she had lost her genie side in a confrontation against Risky Boots, she had been lost in a spiral of depression that seemingly took out a lot of her enthusiasm, passion and any form of energy to do much. She went through the motions, doing the same things that she did, going on small adventures, but anyone that knew her even just a little could recognize that her heart wasn't into it. For Sky, it was absolutely obvious that something was wrong, that the once half-genie guardian was just not getting out of this funk that she had fallen into. Normally, Sky would get some help from Bolo or even Rottytops to try to cheer her up, to get her back in the thick of things...yet those two were unavailable all of a sudden. Rottytops wasn't the most honest kind of character and Bolo could be quite scatterbrained at times, yet it seemed strange that they'd be so busy and absent at a time like this, especially since Shantae was in dire need of their help.
Days after days, Sky tried on her own to go ahead and give her some stuff to do, to get beloved friend she had back on track. Taking care of an egg, getting her to teach her how to dance, showing some new tricks that Wrench could do, going on patrol around town...Nothing would do as the guardian of Scuttle Town felt incomplete and foolish after this fiasco of hers. With Mimic wrapped in the same guilt, there was naught to do as Sky was on her own this time around, with no one else really knowing Shantae well-enough to properly approach her with the care and attention that she needed...and deserved. "Perhaps tomorrow will be the one..." Sky said to Wrench, tired after a long day of trying to get Shantae back into dancing, her once-favourite activity. All those shimmies, hip drops and what-not, which Sky knew nothing about nor could she truly care to learn from, were part of a language that was entirely alien to her. All that she knew was that Shantae loved it, usually, and people loved to see her perform. Hell, even Sky could recognize that Shantae was downright fascinating on a stage, with her smile, her great control and her particular charisma. Yet, it had been a while since she had gone on to give a show, which would probably hurt her income as the last thing Shantae needed was to be poor on top of things. "Maybe, if we're lucky, Bolo and Rottytops will come back and we'll try to come up with a plan to get Shantae out of this. She's way more than just her genie side and she has to recognize it..."
With Wrench being a poor conversationalist, Sky went on to place a large towel on top of his cage to make sure he'd fall asleep, then went on to clean herself up before catching the express to slumberland on her own. Requiring no towel nor any simulacrum of darkness and night, the fact that she was spent in many ways made it quite easy for Sky to get the rest she needed, sleep arriving in a very short span of time. Then...it occurred again.
She had been having the same dream for a while, a scenario that seemed to evolve with each passing days as it had been about five days since it started. At first, she was at the dance parlor and a silhouette, a silent one, went on to dance on the stage. The movements were too blurry, the lighting too poor and nothing seemed concrete enough about it as silence filled the entire area all along, yet Sky did remember it vividly all the same afterward. Then, the lighting had been slightly fixed in the second day, yet the silhouette was still black, a little unrefined in details as Sky could only witness a long ponytail, a lean figure and nothing else of note. The third day had seen its progress, with Sky being invested now as it was too strange not to be interested, even if just a little. It had gone from simple lighting to purple and red, with purple being dominant here. Then, the silhouette went on to become much more defined again in the fourth day, with clothes appearing, with Shantae's outfit yet with a completely opposite pattern of color: purple instead of red, while the long ponytail was crimson, with a slight touch of orange, in its appearance. Today was the fifth day and Sky could freely admit that she knew not how things would go from there. If there was at least a bright spot in those previous days, it was essentially that there was something going on in her dreams which she couldn't wait to see how it would develop. Then, finally, she saw exactly what had been lurking in the fading shadows all along and Sky had to admit that her curiosity was a little piqued...
It was the opposite of Shantae in terms of appearance: same build, same height, same measurements, yet the colors were overly different. The colors of her outfit were the same as those revealed during the fourth day, yet now her skin was visible and it was white with hints of a purple complexion, not unlike Risky Boots' own. To Sky, this version of Shantae seemed like a mix between her friend and the Pirate Queen herself, an amusing albeit also troubling notion to entertain as this opposite Shantae looked at her with a sly little smile, one that seemed mischievous in an ambiguous fashion. Then, a first, a stunning development for Sky to behold: she talked.
"It took me a little longer to get inside your head, sweetie, but now here I am~" she said, her tone showing a certain sass and a good amount of confidence, as if something great had just happened for her. "But now, you're stuck with me...Aren't you glad?"
Sky couldn't quite understand what this strange Shantae meant and, in a moment of surprising clarity, she became an active agent of this fabulation, of this illusory scenario as she got up from her seat, her own voice coming out of her mouth clear as day. "W-who are you?" Skye asked, the first and obvious question sent to this wannabe familiar character, this copy of her friend. "What do you mean that I'm stuck with you?"
"I did expect those questions coming from you, Sky...That's why I did not go for a full frontal assault with you, getting my presence into your mind softly without rocking the boat," this pseudo-Shantae responded, doing so calmly as if she had all the time in the world. "As for my name...you can call me Nega. As for what I mean...well~"
The chair that Sky had been sitting upon, unwittingly, rushed to the front of the stage as it pulled Sky back to sit upon it in its motion. Surprised, Sky went on to hold the sides of that piece of furniture as she got much, much closer to the performance area as Nega was sitting on the edge of said part of the dance parlor. Looking down on Sky, Nega had a perpetual smirk that seemed to radiate of a certain power, a special dominance that she was all too aware of as she went on to gaze upon Sky, amused by her reactions.
"You'll find out for yourself quite soon~" was all that Nega said before snapping her fingers, shutting down the light before a purple mist erupted, circling around Sky in a threatening manner. "You see...I'm something of an error, albeit a delicious one: I'm Shantae's genie side, corrupted by ill intents and dark magic. I was released by my mistress and we both planned out something real special to have our revenge against Shantae, who had the audacity to defeat me in battle a long while ago...And part of our plan had to do with getting her friends out of the way~"
The fact that Bolo and Rottytops hadn't been seen in days, which was something of a coincidence at the time was perhaps coordinated, Sky thought, quick of wits as she got up. Trying to get out of there, there was certainly a way to get away from this realm, from inside her head. Moreso than that, there was certainly a manner in which to reassert dominance, to kick this intruder out for good.
"I'm afraid not, sweetie. The dunce and the zombie had pretty empty heads, so to speak, so I had to make sure that you wouldn't notice until it's too late. I knew for a fact that you'd be too intelligent and savvy to fall for my tricks, so I had to anchor myself pretty deeply in order to not be booted out without a serious fight..." Nega explained, as if she knew exactly was Sky was thinking about. "I'm deep, deep into your subconscious, into your psyche. You have no secrets from me and, as a matter of fact, your thoughts are like an open book to me. If I had tried to do that a little while ago, it would have been impossible for me...But I'm much stronger now~"
Upon hearing those last words, Sky saw flashes of light, flames bursting out as they made way for specific imageries, things that she would never talk about nor really delve too much upon, even under serious duress. Visions of Sky holding Shantae's hand, of a tender kiss on her cheeks, of lazy mornings spent in the same bed...all smaller thoughts that Sky had indeed held within her head a few times.
"It's impossible not to fall in love with Shantae, even if just a little..."
That was her voice. She remembered that, the memory rushing in as she had said so to her most loyal confident: Wrench. Yet, here she was betrayed by her recollection of events and from an invader with powers beyond comprehension as she figured that it was true: she held a special affection for Shantae, one that she didn't quite know she would act upon.
"Oh, the other two thought the same, you know? Rottytops and Bolo? They all thought that she was too pure to be messed with...Well, Rottytops wanted to mess with her because of that, but the point is that her charisma sure seems to work very, very well on most people. Even if she isn't quite aware of that," Nega said with a slight chuckle at the end, snapping her fingers once more to bring out flames again along with a different kind of imagery. "But your thoughts haven't been so pure too, from the looks of it~"
Visions of Shantae dancing, stripping for Sky made their way with an absurdly precise vivacity, along with sloppy kisses, wandering hands, all to the sounds of moans of ecstasy coming from both Sky and Shantae. Flustered, ashamed, Sky covered her face with her hands, as if to hide all of this from her sight, yet she couldn't help but catch a peek all the same, her curious nature winning over her more prudish behaviour.
"Watch it all you want. Those are your fantasies, you know?" Nega said with a teasing little burst of laughter, before reappearing to Sky's side. "In fact, I know that the moment you've seen me, you've begun to have those little thoughts for me too. I look quite a lot like here...yet I seem naughtier...more mature, right?"
The much more teasing nature of Nega did have its effect on Sky, even though she would never quite admit it. With her thinking that it was just a dream, a little variance on the Shantae that she knew and loved, it seemed benign to have flashes of those same little fantasies with her, yet now it seemed that they were being played against her as the same scenarios went on to play in the void around them, with Nega seemingly much more powerful and sexier in them. They looked alike, yet it was clear now that Nega was not as sweet or as kind as Shantae. Far from it.
"Now, of course, I wouldn't tell you all of this without having absolute confidence in my victory. As such...let us get to the main course, Sky~" Nega declared, moving on as she dissipated before letting Sky be on her own along with her own confusion.
Of course, Sky wouldn't let this Nega turn her into a mere plaything, a little toy for her to amuse herself until she'd be done with. There was always a possibility to confront and to win and Sky only had to see it...But then the background changed to that of a house close to the port. The salty air, the light of the sun shining upon an open window, basking the place in a comforting frame the room she found herself in was seemingly empty save for a bed, a comfortable-looking chair and the sound of crashing waves in the distance accompanying Sky in this new environment. Finding this to be dangerously comforting, Sky tried to see just where she was, yet the first thing that seemed to be of note to her was the outfit that she was wearing. Her purple hood and her earrings were still there, yet those were the only thing left from her normal garbs as the rest was...riskier. A black bra with golden dots adorned her chest, with small tassels laying lower on this piece of clothing, a waistband of the same pattern wrapped around her waist, along with see-through silk attached to it to serve as a loincloth, a see-through veil around her face...she was garbed like a saucier dancer, a girl straight from a harem as she felt incredibly self-conscious about that for a second. Her body was pretty much on display here, with her legs, her thighs, her cleavage, her stomach and all that being there for the world to see. Much of it, like her stomach and part of her cleavage, she did not mind much about, yet the fact that her outfit was radically different did not really register as a nice thing to her.
"But it looks so good on you, dear~"
Nega's voice, similar to Shantae yet with a tone of power behind it, made her snap out of it as Sky turned around to see her seated on the chair, garbed in the same clothes as she was. She was furious, indignant, yet Sky couldn't bring herself to voice it all, to express her discontentment in an overt fashion. Instead, her heart began to beat slightly faster as she couldn't help but gaze at Nega, ogling on as these new clothes looked...good on her. It made her look sexy, sensual, the risky reveals on that flawless body making her seem like the prettiest woman in the world. More than a little bothered, Sky took an awkward step backward, yet still kept her sight locked on Nega, as if unable to avert her gaze despite her best efforts. "What did you-"
"I told you, silly. I've been replacing all of your fantasies with me. All of them~" Nega replied, not even bothering to let Sky finish up her sentence. "It's normal to be shy and timid when looking at the love of your life...and the object of your precious lust~"
It was true. Even in her mind, with access to all her thoughts and with Nega snapping her fingers constantly to let Sky see just what she meant, all of those little scenarios had Nega in them now, with no Shantae in sight. The half-genie was gone, replaced by this new, mischievous and evil-minded version of her friend. She knew this...and yet her heart was still beating fast, with Sky unable to stop thinking about Nega in so many beautiful ways. Her hesitation now came more from a timidity, an inherent shyness, than actual fear. Her mind already twisted, Sky no longer went on to see those imageries as Nega stood there, triumphant and looking all the more splendid because of it. Conflicted, Sky's own thought of defiance and rebellion died down the more she looked at Nega, with the reality that she loved her with all her being supplementing the old one.
"It's okay to be afraid, darling. Everyone is when they meet me~" Nega said in an overly gentle tone, her smile no-less teasing as she went on to lay on the bed, moving her finger enticingly for Sky to witness. "Just get closer to me and I'll show you a good time~"
That was the moment of truth. If she was to resist, it was the exact moment to do so as Sky still somehow knew that this was fake, that Nega was manipulating her. Despite it all, her own body betrayed her spirit as the closer she got, the stronger the temptation was until it was by her own efforts that her legs were moving. In a few short steps, which seemed to be gigantic to her own mindscape, she joined up with Nega as she looked at her laying on her side, showing off her sumptuous body, her delicious curves and her kissable face. Then, sealing her fate, Sky couldn't really bring up any reason to defy all of this as she herself got comfortable on the bed, as if she had been conquered by this gorgeous and powerful genie.
"That's good, Sky. You're doing great~" Nega said, carressing Sky's face under her veil before she went on to turn around, showing off her bountiful posterior to the flustered young woman close to her. "Now, let's spice things up, shall we?"
It was an absolutely stunning ass, with the black see-through silk not hiding anything from the white and purple complexion of her skin. Looking at it, Sky felt somewhat hesitant to just ogle Nega like that, treating her like a piece of meat, yet the moment that her butt began to move left and right like a pendulum she couldn't help herself but look intensively at this mesmerizing display.
"Just look at my delicious little butt and let go of your worries, Sky~" Nega said with a sensual tone in her voice, getting on all fours in order to have a better handle on this simple motion of hers. "Just listen to the sound of my voice, to the waves nearby all while you just gaze at my booty~"
The sound of the waves made themselves a little more intense, a little more present as it matched the tempo of the butt as it moved left...then right...then left...and right...on and on again. It looked so round, so smooth, so perfect, that Sky wanted to look at it like this for as long as she could, for an eternity if that was possible. The way the sun shone on those cheeks, the way it was constantly in motion, even if slowly, pulled her gaze more and more into focus as she laid there looking at it. A part of her wanted to touch it, to play with it, yet it would be bad to do so. She would never do so without any consent, not to the person that she loved.
"As you stare at it, you soon can only see it, its motion and its beauty. It becomes prettier by the second as you just want to listen to me more, to really try to understand me like a good little lover. You're going to be a good little lover for me, aren't you?" Nega said, continuing with the same movements while keeping the exact same pace, the environment hers to toy around with as she pleased.
"...Yes," was all that Sky could hear. It came from her mouth, it was her voice, yet she could not recall feeling her lips move to reply to this. She did want to be good, though, and Nega was being good to her so far. She couldn't quite recall how she got there, her own thinking process being fuzzy, yet it was probably not all that important. Not when there was such a gorgeous display for her to be amazed with.
"Something that I like...that I love...is hypnosis. I like to hypnotize people, to put them under my control...to make them my playthings and my slaves~" Nega said with a honeyed tongue that could charm anyone who'd dare listen to her. "I haven't said this to anybody, but I figured that someone like you would understand me. You wouldn't judge me for something like that, would you?"
"...No," Sky answered, the voice being hers again as her body complied with what was expected of her. Her mind, no-longer finding it strange, or even noticing anything suspicious, went along with that answer as being the truth as Sky did want to be a good lover. If this meant helping Nega with those fantasies, then she was all up for it.
"It would be absolutely amazing if you were to get hypnotized...completely under my control...by watching my butt sway from right to left...It would be hot, yes?" Nega suggested, her voice being more openly sexual as she then went on to push her posterior closer to Sky in the process of saying that. "You'd certainly do that for me, yeah?"
Already she was complying, as swirls of white and purple appeared in her eyes. Her senses distorted and her own arousal increasing to an insane degree, Sky really couldn't do anything but cooperate fully to those demands, with them getting her hot and bothered just as much as it seemed to do with Nega. With the butt swaying left to right and her gaze ever-locked on it, it was already proving to be an enthralling experience for the bird-handler and her scrumptuous genie friend.
"It's getting so hard to focus and to think, isn't it? You're even having a hard time keeping up with my wonderful ass, I'm sure~" Nega teased, taking control of the situation as she pushed her butt even further, as if it was mere inches away from Sky's face. "I'm getting hornier by the second, can you smell it?"
It was incredibly hard to ignore the sweet smell that emanated from Nega's extremely near crotch as Sky began to smile in a content and blissfuly happy fashion. Her eyes showcasing those purple and white swirls, her own vision of that swaying ass began to get blurry as she couldn't tell whether it was supposed to be situated on the right or to the left anymore, creating a ghost-like aftereffect of this splendid butt being in both places at once.
"I want you to touch yourself as you get hypnotized, as you look at my ass...I want you to say the name of your mistress...do that for your lover, for your goddess~" Nega commanded, taking charge as she began to circle around with her ass now, fully teasing Sky with a purposefully hypnotic and overwhelming pattern. "Obey me, my slave~"
The butt was everywhere at once, a faint-like apparition whose sole purpose was to arouse and hypnotize Sky into submission. She knew it and participated in this sordid scenario, more than turned on by its implications as her connection to reality was severed. Her hand going beneath the loincloth, her own sex was wet and ready for her as she carressed herself at first, only to realize that it wouldn't be enough before she plunged her full hand within, unafraid to be such a mess in front of Nega. "My mistress...Nega...M-m-mistress~"
"I will spin it around and around and the moment I will land my ass on you, you will begin to suckle my lower lips and you will have the best orgasm of your entire life~" Nega went on to command, a smirk on her face as her posterior was high in the air, spinning slowly at first before gaining in speed, ready to unleash a terrible fate upon her "lover".
She made sloppy sounds, moaned openly and looked crass to any outsider's eye, which only helped in her appreciation of this moment as Sky was hypnotized, enslaved by this seductress, this charming genie as Nega had stolen her heart and her mind. The object of her focus spun around and around, threatening to take over her vision until it landed slowly on her face, which allowed her to place a kiss on thos needy lower lips, greeting her tongue with the most intoxicating substance she had ever tasted...Resulting in a messy affair as her honey spilled freely, openly and copiously.
"Good...You are now my slave and plaything, my sweet little Sky~" Nega said, before going on to put more weight on her lower region and her legs, effectively now sitting upon Sky's face while she was being greedily eaten out. "We'll have lots and lots of fun until you wake up, with me hypnotizing you further and further, placing you under my total and complete control~"
She couldn't answer. She couldn't even quite hear. She was busy worshipping this goddess, this genie who gave her the time of her life. There was naught to do but do as she bade. There was the small notion that this wasn't exactly the truth, that perhaps something was wrong. Those ideas died with the constant taste of her mistress, crushed by the weight of those soft cheeks on her face as Sky's mind became a sponge for new information, her subconscious an open-field for new inputs and new perspectives. She couldn't quite remember when she had met Nega for the first time...
All she could remember was that she loved her and that this was right. It was all that mattered...
Risky looked at the horizon with her spyglass. From afar, she could see Scuttle Town, the one place that kept on resisting her, who thwarted her efforts due to the prowess of its guardian. She had swore revenge on this place and soon she would get it. A puff of smoke, accompanied by the burst of flame behind her, told that this narrative would soon turn to reality.
"Is the last of her friend ours?"
"It is done, my mistress. Sky, the bird-handler, has fallen prey to my charms and my skills. She is effectively our slave now along with the zombie and the idiot."
She placed the spyglass on the table, then looked at the weapons on her belt. A cutlass, a flintlock and a lamp adorned it, with the third one being now infinitely more potent than when she had received it.
"Then it is time for the main event. Let us get ready to face up with your human side, shall we?"
