Gold Digger the insertion files Chapter 12: Let my people know.
By Agent Reptile
This is a fanfiction based on Fred Perry's great work Gold Digger. I use characters, concepts, and artifacts from DC, Marvel, 343, Star Wars, Mass Effect, God of War, Masters of the Universe, Mortal Kombat, Darkstalkers, Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Fox Media, ETC. I don't own these characters I use and I am not making a cent on this so don't sue me.
My eyes felt that they were going to explode out of my head looking at the boy in Britanny's arms. He was about my current height (6') but was far skinnier than Britanny who had zero problems holding the kid while he struggled to free himself.
"Look kid I've got about 150 lbs on you and about a foot in height so why don't you stop trying to fight me and just calm down." Britanny said as she did not give the kid an inch of wiggle room. The kid in question, or I am guessing a kid as I really have no idea at what rate werecheetah males develop in the wild, was completely pinned in Britanny's hold and was even lifted off the ground. After the awe of seeing another werecheetah alive when Britanny was supposedly the only one remaining in the world, I started to notice a few things that struck me as kind of, well odd about this kid.
The first thing that really struck me was just how scrawny the fella was. Not without muscles or looking like he was starving, but compared to the likes of Britanny or the only male lycans I had seen (i.e. the werewolves) were massive in comparison. Why does this matter you may ask? For those of you who are also Gold Digger fans cast your mind back to why werecheetahs and werewolves both still live on earth rather than migrated to the realm of Jade like all other lycans. Remember that lycans, while powerful, feared the rise of human kind and their technology as threats to the survival of all magic kind and so vamoosed to Jade where technology is illegal to be safe with other magic beings including trolls, elves, and other such beings. However two groups of lycans were denied this as the two could not stop fighting when they got close to each other…or used to anyway. Yea the millennia long feud of the werecheetahs and werewolves made it impossible for them to enter Jade as they were eternally banished. Now Britanny is able to get in due to being the daughter of Theodore and Julia Diggers and the combination of a Aura Mage of the council of Mages and a Weapons Master of Jade makes her a welcome guest to Jade.
So getting back to my first observation, this kid was skinny as a rail and relatively speaking short of a lycan. How on earth would this kid pose any threat to a werewolf? Was it a mass swarming of multiple werecheetahs against one werewolf or was it something else? This leads to the second observation.
He had no obvious technology in him as his garments were just a loincloth and simple rope belt. This made a lot of sense based upon our experience with Jetta and Thabian who also went with the far more simplistic lifestyle. Covered in fur, sharp teeth and claws, and gifted with fantastic muscle tone and extreme long life there likely isn't much reason for lycanthrops to develop metallurgy and their predatory nature meant they likely would never have started agriculture. After thinking about it for a bit it hit me that if it was not for the fact that lycanthropes were an artificial mutation with a whole lot of magic going through their bodies, they would never exist in nature. For being artificial though, it seems that the werecheetah had adapted to their world rather than dominate it. If it were not for the drought which caused them to have to leave Africa, I have no doubts that the werecheetahs would have continued to thrive here….but on that same note I would not have met Britanny…well regardless of the past I was here making a future with her and that brings us back to our latest discovery.
"Let me go ye thick brick." Yea the kid still in Britanny's powerful arms said in a rather thick Irish accent. "Let me go." What in the world was going on here? African accent I would understand but Irish?
Wait didn't Gina say something about a British Army detachment around here…
"I'm not sure if that was a compliment or an insult." Britanny said as she smirked as the kid was pinned just like Tark was months ago in Dreadwing's cave and the kid's head was pressed hard into Britanny's palms as he was put into a full nelson. "But you are not going to escape my hold and you owe me one big apology for attacking me for no reason. Didn't your mother teach it wasn't nice to attack ladies?"
"Well you aren't like any lady I ever see. You're built like an elephant and just as tall." He huffed finally stopping his struggles. This comment seriously irritated my love as she gently flexed her powerful arms and started to stretch the male's arms a bit more than considered to be comfortable.
Ow… ..ow….owwwww. Okay stop stop. I'm sorry" The kid finally relented as he finally relaxed.
"Sorry for…" Britanny continued in the same tone that she had used when dealing with PeeWee earlier. You know for all of the overt sexiness, skimpy ourfits, and blatant eyecandy/fanservice that was truly part of the Gold Digger universe as detailed by Mr. Perry so well, Britanny also had a ton of smarmy class to her and dang she would be a great mother.
"Sorry for attacking you…" The kid finally relented as he stopped resisting Britanny's hold.
"Well it's a start at least." Britanny said as she released the other werecheetah from her grasp and dropped him to his feet. "So kid, mind telling us why you picked a fight with me for oh no good reason?" She smirked at the kid as she stood over him, using her greater height and build as intimidating factors in getting his attention. "And try not to lie to me as I really don't like being lied to."
"Better answer her kid." I said in the raspy and no-nonsense voice of Rex. "My girl isn't known for being patient with people who upset her." I looked him right in the eye as the stood up. My cyber eye already gave the indicator for predator over his head and I knew that I needed to be warry. While Britanny already had put the kid in his place, I had no desire to see how well my cybernetic limb would fair against a lycanthrope. I may have been the most advanced cyber warrior from the year 2007 (look up Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon it makes sense), and punched a nuke with my fully cybernetic left limb, but knowing his potential speed and raw strength…it was better to wait it out and see where this goes.
The kid looked at me with the most bizarre shocked expression I had ever seen and kept focusing on my left eye.
"What are you looking at?" I asked him as he then dropped his view down to my left arm and freaked out a bit and backed up. Apparently he had never heard of a cyborg.
"Bugger what kinda freak are yea." And here we go again. "Was yea father a steel…." Before the youth could continue Britanny tapped him on the shoulder.
"Kid I'm going to give you some advice. My love here, he has taken out dragons, werewolves, and half giants. So you want to watch your manners?" Britanny smirked as she folded her hands under her bust and drew the focus of the boy again. "So you want to tell us your name?"
He looked Britanny in the eyes, and still not comfortable around my lady, gave her a once over and resigned to doing what he was told as he dropped his shoulders and relaxed.
"Fine, m'name's Sean. And what are yea supposed to be? Some sort of giantess with a fur coat?" The youth tried to bluff his way into looking more intimidating than he really was. Not to say he wouldn't intimidate Gina or Tanya, but with Britanny the most he got was a smirk with her giving him a "give me a break" expression on her face.
"Okay Sean, this may shock you, but I am an actual werecheetah." Britanny continued to show off as she swished her tail back and forth demonstrating that it was actually part of her and not some fake tack-on to her belt or into her pants. "You know just like you."
Sean started to laugh at this as he looked Brit up and down. "O' you got me for a moment. Ye a werecheetah?" The kid started laughing. "Yea you be pull'n me tail."
"And why am I not a werecheetah?" Britanny asked, getting extremely irate and about give the kid an earful as he was getting on her nerves like spoiled milk. "Am I not covered in spots? Am I not the last survivor of the massacre of werecheetahs by the werewolves? Do I not change from human to hybrid to animal form at will with moonlight? And am I not the fastest woman alive? So tell me why am I not a werecheetah?"
"Yea as big as a house and strong as an ox." The kid said without skipping a beat. "How can ye' expecta be called a werecheetah with ye have a bosom as big as yea head? Yea canna run with those things bouncing all o'r the place." Britanny's white furred face was turning an extremely deep red and her muscles were hulking out at this point. I grabbed the punk by the scruff of the neck with my left hand and put an end to this.
"Alright punk before I belt you, you are going to apologize to my lady for insulting her beauty on top of pissing me off." I said as the cold as possible and about ready to smack him right in the face. Seriously what in the world are your thinking pissing off a woman who just proved you are completely outclassed by and then you go insulting her on her looks. Looks that Britanny prides herself on and that she took massive effort in. "And the last punk who dared insult her she took behind a tree and dang near paddled his ass. So you want to rethink your attitude here."
This finally seemed to get it thought the punk's head that he was pushing his limits to the razor's edge.
"And one more outburst insulting her looks is going to get my fists across your face. So we clear here?"
"Ei…ye are clear." The kid finally relented. "So yea a werecheetah, mind tell me where you are supposed to be from? All werecheetah who left Africa got killed by those bastard werewolves twenty some odd years ago." The kid smugly said to her while placing his hands across his chest and at least trying to keep a civil tongue in his mouth.
"Yea I was a baby when my father rescued me right after everyone else got killed." Britanny said as she slowly was calming down. I could see the outline of her muscles dissipate under her fur again and her tail was substantially less poofy. "So you want to tell me how you are alive? I thought that all of our people went to Ireland when the drought hit."
"Ei you be right, or at least mostly right. See me and me family stayed behind to watch o'r the place while Xerses and his mate Cyan took the rest of our people to live with the werewolves."
"Wait what do my parents have to do with this?" Britanny asked as she scratched the back of her head in complete confusion. "I mean yea they went with the rest of the tribe, but why would they take our people anywhere." Britanny had relaxed enough that she was once more her calm and collected self and had added scratching the underside of her chin as well as the back of her head trying to figure out what was so important about her biological mom and dad or special about them in any way.
The kid however was completely in shock and trembled like he had stepped on a landmine just waiting for it to blow. "Yea mean, ye be…oh faith and begora what did I do?" He cluched his head in his hands and was going into a series of shakes with his hair all on end and his eyes beginning to water. "Ye canna be, it just canna be."
"Okay kid what are you doing?" Britanny asked as she looked him down and placed her hands on her hips. "Look I'm not going to beat you up if that is what you are worried about. I'm not a bully, I just can't take rude jerks."
"Lassie, ma'am…my lady do ye not know who Xerses was? Or who Cyan was?" The youth said as she fell to his knees. "Och no no no no." He then proceeded to put his head to the ground pleading for mercy.
"Kid seriously stop gravelling." Britanny said putting her foot down on the matter. "Look if you really are sorry about insulting me then I forgive you and won't hold it against you."
"M'lady yea don't understand. Do yea not know who ye are? My lady if ye be Xerses and Cyan's daughter then yea be not just any werecheetah, yea are the daughter of our Alphas."
"Oh? Well that's cool I guess." Britanny smiled at this news.
"Yea still dona get it. Ye aren't just a werecheetah. My lady you are the princess of the werecheetah clan." The young man then began to grovel even more as Britanny and I were both completely dumbstruck. "Oh mother what have I done?" This went on for a while and nothing that either Britanny or I did seemed to get the kid to stop his continued bellowing.
Britanny and I shook our heads in that prairie land sun. The long hours or trekking and searching had cost us most of the day and the sun was slowly making it's decent. The hot dry hair hung still and burning as my cybernetics registered the temperature and my skin felt dry. Not burning per say though, as a Mark IV cybercommando my body was heavily augmented and able to adapt to any environment. Still I found myself downing a few swigs of water and Britanny and I looked at each other and sighed.
Completely lost on what exactly to do with the kid, and we couldn't let the others keep waiting, we came to a mutual conclusion.
"Hey Alex, you want to get everyone else over here? I'll keep an eye on the kid." Britanny said as she kept her view on the groveling male before her that was going on and on.
"Roger that babe." I said as I hugged her with my right arm and kept her close. "See you in a few." I turned my back as the kid kept babbling on about forgiving him. I just ran back to where everyone was waiting and found that they had picked up a poker game and were busy betting various coins and trinkets rather than chips. Gina seemed to be winning most of the hands based upon her winnings.
"Awe common Bri it's just a friendly game." Gina smirked with delight at her younger sister growing extremely frustrated with her lack of winnings and the fact soon Bri was going to have to start stripping off armor bits to make up for the lack of money. I came upon them with complete silence and not even Brianna's hyper hearing seemed to pick up my foot falls. It was kind of fun to do this and
"With the way you play Gina I would not subscribe friendly as an adjective befitting your style." Tanya said as she did her best to hold her own against Gina's winning streak. "Why would anyone willingly try this game of chance with you being so obviously good at it?" The kryn sorceress asked as she kept her cards close to her chest.
"Maybe because there are some around here who have enough luck to beat her." I said as I stepped up to the group right behind Gina. They jumped back a bit as I did so and Gina tossed her cards all over the place. Brianna at first went for her gun, but relaxed as she saw it was me.
"I'm not sure if I should be impressed, or if I should be afraid of how high Gina just jumped." Tanya said as she chuckled slightly. The cards and coins had gone everywhere and Gina grumbled a bit as she stood up and looked me dead in the eyes.
"You've got a lot of nerve pal." She spat at me in frustration.
"Yea. Nerves of steel." I said as I brought up my left arm and flexed my cybernetic digits. I then lowered my arm and smirked at her. She smirked back. Probably had a lot worse happen to her by her sister growing up and she gave worst to her. "So what we got goin' on here?"
"Well we got bored and so Gina pulled out a deck of cards and waited to hear back from you and Cheets." Brianna smiled. "Since I got the motion tracker locked on you two and you were seemingly safe it was safe to figure you needed time before you wanted us." The taller woman smiled as she grabbed her attachment bolts she had used as betting tokens from the ground.
"And Gina was polite enough to show me how to play this 'poker' game of yours." Tanya said as she retrieved her golden pendants and adjusted her garments accordingly. "I think I shall in future pass on such an invitation."
"Well you're no fun." Gina smiled. "It was just a friendly game." She tried to convince everyone around her that her intent was completely honest, and failed miserably.
"Gina you play cards as hard as you compete with Penny in science." Brianna slapped her older sister on the back. "Don't even try to kid yourself." The lycanthropoid smiled as she picked up her rifle and strapped it to her back as she turned on her visor. "So who's the other person you met out there? Some sort of local guide?" Her HUD gave a visual indicator that I could see the outside of the screen.
"That's something you're not going to believe." I said as I led the way to where Britanny was still standing. I double checked myself that she had not moved by going into search mode and identifying she was still standing over the kid ahead of all of us.
Tanya took up the rear of the procession and allowed Brianna and I to act as the forward guard while Gina worked hard taking notes of the expedition. The digital pad she had on her was recording sounds, GPS data, atmospheric data, and pictures with a primitive version of a digital camera. Remember I was not just sent back to the start of Gold Digger series, but back in time to the early to mid-nineties. Modern cell technology was unheard of in this world. MP3 music, SD cards, and high-speed internet were completely undeveloped and here I was at the dawn of the digital age. With access to the likes of Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, and less moral inventors like Lex Luthor and Dr. Doom, I had given Gold Digger Inc. a vast leg up in the competitive world of invention and technological development. This would have caused a massive disparity between Penny and Gina's competitive companies were it not for the influx of Kryn and Atlantian trade with both companies. On the other hand I was perhaps too free in the weapons I gave Brianna access to as she now had access to Mass Effect, Colonial Marine, Convenient, UNSC, and other previously mentioned weapons systems.
You now may be asking "Why in Heaven's name would you do something like that?" Well a few reasons such as keeping the gun bunny occupied so that she was focused on something other that sex, and if anyone was trustworthy with the weapons tech I had then it was Brianna. Anyway getting back to our current story.
"Okay so Brit has things wrapped up with whoever it was she went after now?" Tanya asked as she was completely blocked from seeing anything with everyone in front of her.
"It sees so, but what was so special about…" Gina stopped herself mid-sentence as she adjusted her glasses and looked up from her data pad. "Jinkies." Gina said as she was in awe at the sight.
"Wow girl, mind telling me what's going on sis?" Brianna said as she lifted her visor up and gave the kid a good once over. "And who is the cute kid you have bowing to you?" Brianna gave the kid a once over and smiled at him. While Brianna may have a substantial sex drive and a weakness for pretty boys, but she kept her interests to those that were adults. Yes I know she only came into the world a few years ago, but still she wasn't into kids.
"Says his name is Sean, and he tried to get the drop on me." Britanny explained. "He's fast, but nowhere near as good as this girl." My beloved smirked as she flexed her muscles a bit to bring the point home and posture a bit while doing so.
"Wait is he an actual werecheetah?" Tanya said as she cautiously approached the scene as she moved away from the cover of Gina and Brianna. The kryn priestess was fascinated by what she was seeing and her eyes shot between Sean and Britanny. "And why is this young one gravelling before you as if he committed an executable offense?"
"Because yea daft fool I did." The boy said as he cried. "Ah no. Attacking the alpha's daughter, it is death to do so." The kid was now sobbing as he dug into the hot dry ground. His claws leaving scratching deep into the soil and his tears had turned part of the ground dark brown.
"Okay Sean you can stop now." Britanny said as she groaned at the sight before her. "It was nice about ten minutes ago, now it is just really sad." She kneeled down and patted him on the back. "Look you aren't going to die alright."
"AAAHH she touched me now I'm dead for sure!" the kid just lunged at Britanny, who had just leaned over to try and stop his crying. Before Brit or anyone else could react, Sean leapt up and shifted into animal form to run as fast as he could…this didn't work out so well as for when he shifted formed and jumped he slammed hard right into Brit who fell back and grabbed at the full cheetah werecat's forelimbs. But as she grabbed the other werecheetah's shoulders, his head was free to move around. With Brit not letting the kid run off, the full animal of her aggressor able having more range with his mouth, and Brit not being able to brace herself properly to hold back someone rushing into her with for power of a CAT launched F-14, something bad was going to happen and none of use could do a dang thing about it.
"Hold still you little twerp I told you I am not going to …" As Brit dug into Sean's arms with all her might, Sean roared in pain and bit down hard on Britanny's exposed shoulder. "OWEE you son of a." Britanny had enough at this and grapped Sean with her left hand under his chest and freed her right arm then.
POWWW
Laid him out cold.
"Son of a bitch that hurt." Britanny said as she rubbed her bleeding upper arm. It wasn't a deep wound or even a terrible bad one, but with her having a healing factor on par with Logan or Deadpool the concept of pain was different to her. Most damage just repaired itself in seconds or at most an hour or so if she was reduced to a pile of blood, but wounds from other lycans circumvent werecat and werewolf healing factors. "Owie owie owie."
I looked over the kid. He was breathing, the scan mode noticed that. He also had enough mental function to determine that he was indeed alive and only rendered unresponsive for the time being. I figured that Rex had used up his usefulness at this point and returned to my normal form.
"Hey babe let me help with that." I offered as I approached Britanny and attempted to remove her shirt and treat the wound.
"Don't get close muffin." Britanny said with a lot of force and with a lot of pain as she teeth had become very much like fangs. "I don't want you becoming a thrall."
"Then let me help sis." Brianna said as she took over and assisted Britanny in her injury. "Man that looks nasty."
"Yea well it hurts too thank you." Britanny nearly barked at Bri. This caused Brianna to jump back a bit in fear. "Sorry sorry didn't mean to yell at you." Britanny said calming down a bit. "Just hurts like the dickens that's all." As Britanny relaxed a bit, Brianna smiled as she started cleaning her sister's wound. Some gauze, sanitizer, and medical tape and Britanny wasn't any worst for wear. I doubt my love would have any lasting marks from this thankfully.
"You think we should do anything about this guy?" Gina said as she looked at the animal form of the werecheetah before her…and cowered beyond Tanya. "I mean he is just a kid afterall."
Tanya waved her hands around and summoned an orb of magic something or other. "He is fine, but I don't think he will be getting up any time soon." Tanya said annoyed at Gina now using her as a meat-shield. "But if it will make you feel better Ms. Diggers I will put this young one in a status enchantment so when he heals he will be safely behind a mystic barrier and not attack us again." The head magic user of El Dorado effortlessly did as she said she would and proceeded to cast her spell. The aura of green energy that covered Sean hung around him as an ethereal blanket and shimmered a few times.
"So what exactly are we going to do with this kid?" I asked as I looked down at his knocked out form. "We can't leave him here and taking him with us would probably be seen as kidnipping and I don't want to have to fight another tribe of werebeings. Especially when we don't actually have peaceful terms with them yet."
"Yea I get that muffin." Britanny said as she rubbed her sore shoulder again. "Dang wish I healed faster from lycanthrope made damage." Britanny's comments came with the sound almost like a yelp of pain as she sighed looking down on the kid before use. Her face was drooped and her tail matched. Just not at all how she had hoped to meet others of her kind. It was a complete mess of a situation and we all knew it. But like it or not this was the situation and the mission was still a go.
"Pardon my presumptuousness Britanny, but I have two suggestions that may help." Tanya said as she turned and faced my beloved. "The first is that perhaps is a diplomatic solution to the issue of this one's death. If we convenience him that instead of assaulting the princess of the werecheetahs that instead he found her and is returning her to her people, then the honor of such may overshadow any threat to his life." At this we all blinked a few times. It made sense, but getting that kid to stay calm enough to use the idea would take some work.
"The second is that I recall Alex transforming himself into a monochromatic silver being who was able to somehow instantly heal myself and the rest of my people back in El Dorado. If he still has such an ability perhaps that will accelerate your injury's healing if not completely repair the damage done to you by this child."
"Hey that's right." Britanny perked up. "I knew there was a reason we kept you around…"
Tanya crossed her arms under her chest about to get irate at Britanny for once more mispronouncing her name
"Tanya." This caused the smaller woman to jolt for a second and then relax.
"Well it is the least I can do. Since I was sent to help find these people afterall…and none of use really want some kid to get hurt because he made some stupid mistake."
"True." Brianna said giving him a once over his animal form having a serious lump . "Be a shame to have him die for trying to save his own life."
I nodded my head and assumed the form of Noran Radd again. The cosmic energies surged through my body as I once more became one with the power cosmic and my mind open to the vast infinite of the universe.
"Here allow me to help you." I said in a very slow and calm voice that seemed transcendent to the situation. I again called upon those cosmic forces to accelerate Britanny's healing and she started to blush and purr a bit as the energies flowed through her. However my healing ability is a area effect boost so not only did I restore Britanny's damaged flesh but I also healed Sean's damaged noggin as well.
Soon the full animal formed male began to move and to seem to start waking up. In so doing he found himself trapped under a ethereal green blanket. He struggled for a moment as he cried in what could be considered shame and frustration. I reverted back to being my usual self and looked at Britanny who smiled in a small smirk that tried to hid her uncertainty of how to handle this situation.
"Okay I'll do this again." Britanny said as she lowered herself next to the trapped werecheetah boy. "Now Sean I know you can understand me so let's try this again. I know that you are scared and you did hurt me, but I am not going to hurt you or allow you to get hurt."
Britanny sat down next to the cheetah with her legs crosses and looked down at the kid. "See till I met you I thought that I was literally the last living werecheetah in the whole world. I came here with my family and friends to find any clue as to my past, to my biological family I never new. I was a baby when the rest of our people were slaughtered. Heck I don't even know what my mother or father looked like." Britanny smiled at the kid. "I never knew them, I may never fully know who they were, but I wanted to try and find where I came from and that I wasn't completely alone in this world." Britanny said as Sean was forced to keep still and just listen.
"Now you have attacked me, you insulted me, and then you finally bit me. None of that was particularly nice and I don't regret smacking you upside the head for what you did to me. But I don't actually want to hurt you and I certainly don't want you to die." Britanny continued as Sean seemed to calm down. "If I am supposedly your princess then I guess I should try and get to know you and the rest of my people. So what do you say, want to try again?" Britanny smiled in a more genuinely friendly way towards Sean as she watched the kid's response. "Okay now Tanya here is going to remove the magic barrier around you and you and not going to run got it. You know I can outrun you, out fight you, and I'm more tenacious than you are."
Sean seemed to relent as he couldn't get out of the prison he was in. "Merrrr." He cried in defeat.
Tanya undid her enchantment and once more Sean was free. He didn't run though, as he new Britanny could overtake him easily and he already had been knocked out cold before so it was unlikely he would try fighting again.
Tanya removed the barrier spell and the cheetah person rose up on his feet.
"Okay now that we are talking again," Britanny smiled at the kid. "My name is Britanny Diggers, this is my boyfriend Alex," She indicated me as I returned to my normal form and waved at the still full animal form lycanthrope. "these are my two sisters Gina and Brianna," Both also waved at Sean as he looked them up and down "And this is Tanya, the sorceress who cast the spell you were under."
Tanya bowed politely toward Sean but kept her distance as she was hesitant to get close to him in this state.
"As well as the representative of the Kryn race to the werecheetahs." Tanya said with her common royal demeanor. "So you could consider us part of a diplomatic mission and in no way are we interested in causing you harm."
Sean turned back into his hybrid form at this and looked completely lost. "Ei fine. Maybe I believe ye, why are ye all the way here in Africa now?" The young man asked us as he got up on his feet once more. "Yea think yea would have want to come find use before now."
"You mean beyond not having a clue where to look?" Britanny pointed out. "It wasn't until now that we could even try to look and had no clue where to even start as I was found as a baby after the massacre."
"Ey those murderous traitor dog werewolves never should have been trusted. We'll get them one day I swear." Sean said with pure hatred in his eyes, to which everyone shook their heads.
"No you will not." Britanny said growling with all the fury she could muster. "The war is over, we are at peace, and if I am your princess then I will paddle your ass so hard that you won't be able to sit down for a year if you do anything against Jetta or her people. My muffin over there didn't take a bullet to save her son's life and end this pointless conflict for you or anyone else to start it up again. Look Brendan betrayed his people and ours, got his ass kicked by his daughter, and the whole conflict between Jetta's people and our people started because the one who made us into werepeople wanted to kill off the werecheetahs and enslave the werewolves again." Britanny was kind of letting this get to her head a bit, but it was too perfect to interrupt. "So my first order to you as your princess is that the war with the werewolves is over and I don't want to hear any backtalk."
I smirked at this. I have no idea if Britanny was acting the part or if she somehow deep down did have skills in leadership. Either way my beloved had firmly established her dominance in this matter and that she wasn't going to wave on it one bit.
"Uh yea I got it." Sean said as he was almost terrified to challenge Britanny.
"Good." Britanny cheered up. "Now how about you lead us to your tribe and you introduce us to everyone." She smiled as she patted Sean on the back of his shoulder and showed him no aggression whatsoever.
"You know Brit this whole princess thing is kind of getting do your head." Gina said as she teased her sister. "Next you're probably going to dress up and have a crown made for yourself." Everyone smiled at this to very degrees from smirks to outright laughter.
"Sis you know me better than that." Britanny smiled back. "I'll just have Alex and Brianna make billions of dollars form me to spend while I spoil myself by training to be the most awesome werecheetah ever and having as many kids as Alex can give me and a mansion to live in."
I didn't know if Britanny was joking, or if she was serious, but if I was going to cover her clothing bill then I was going to have to jump start some of the Gold Digger Industries investments. Arc reactors, cold state computer systems, heck just digital media technology alone if released at this time would make me a multi-millionaire overnight. So why didn't I spend an inordinate amount of time focused on huge amount of wealth generation and live my life with material wealth and splendor? Well that would be an abuse of my gifts if pushed too hard. Being independently wealthy and thus able to assist on these adventures full time is one thing. Being able to help promote the economy and skip a few steps accelerating technology without the resource deficit to develop the technology in the first place would definitely save a lot on time and effort. So why not? Well honestly wealth was a means to an end, not a goal in and of itself. Afterall the love of money is the root of all evil. If I was wealthy and used the resource wisely that was fine, but if I just horded it and did nothing with it then I was an abuser of the gifts I had been trusted with.
"And you would be open to any and all moments of desire or emotional need when I get home to this mansion no matter how tired you were from all those kids?" I joke back at her. While one may see both her and my comments as unbelievably sexist, in truth we were teasing eachother and we both knew it. Britanny smiled as she lifted her tail a bit and seemingly swayed it from side to side.
"Well how exactly do you expect I would have all those wonderful children to begin with muffin?" She cooed at me and tickle my nose with her tail.
"Oh not again." Gina groaned.
"What?" Sean said as he was at a loss as to how to react to Gina's comment or what he saw before him.
"They're flirting again." Gina answered as she covered her face in her hand and groaned.
"Sean you are seeing one of the cutest and cringiest things in the world, my sister and her boyfriend flirting." Brianna explained. "It is simultaneously adorable and unwatchable level of stupid." The younger catgirl laughed.
"Just because you don't have someone who gets you for who you are isn't a reason to get jealous sis." Britanny teased Gina a bit as a familiar tail wrapped around my waist.
"So what is he like the royal consort or something?" Sean asked as he started scratching his head, trying to not tick off Britanny again.
"Why do you ask?" Britanny said, as she wrapped her arms around me and made clear her claim to me and I held her tight reassuring that bond.
"Nothing nothing your….uh highness…." Sean said gulping as he tried to keep on Britanny's good side. "Nothing at all."
"Good."
"So Sean is it? Since we are all on the same page here, would you mind taking us to where the other werecheetahs are?" Tanya asked. "I am sure that they would love to hear about how their princess is alive and I would bet that anyone who would bring her to her people, as well as a powerful political ally with her, and I am sure that a great reward would be yours for doing so."
The young man was captivated by Tanya and barely could keep his eyes off of the sorceress.
"Wow, you're cute." And probably didn't listen to a think she said. This caught Tanya completely by surprise and left her blinking a few times.
"Pardon?" The black furred mistress of magic was at a loss as to how to respond to that comment. She looked liked her brain had reached blue screen and was caught how to respond.
"Yea the others look like someone had stuffed their tops with massive gourds and stretched them out like trees. You however are adorable and just rightly proportioned." The young man just couldn't stop digging his own grave. While Tanya was thankful for the complements, the three other girls around him were getting…irate to say the least.
"Yes well thank you." Tanya blushed a bit, but kept her composure. "But I am currently engaged."
"Oh dang, cause I love to get to know how you have that lovely dark coat of yours." As the teenager was trying his best to impresses Tanya, the rest of us were getting tired of the burning of daylight.
"Hey Sean you can try to be Don Quan later." I said to him. "Right now we in running out of time to meet the rest of the werecheetah clan before it will be too dark to let her meet everyone."
Sean was not paying the least bit of attention to what I was saying and Britanny was starting to tap her feet with frustration. This feeling was matched with Gina and Brianna's equal level of irritation as Sean was burning through their patients as well.
"Hey kid are you paying the least bit of attention to us?" Gina said as she snapped her fingers a few times. "Seriously this is getting old."
"Sean your princess is trying to get your attention." Britanny said as she walked up behind him and looked like she was going to pop the back of his head with her knuckles.
"Allow me to try again dear." I said, not wanting to start another spastic crying session from the young lad. Times like this, cooler heads needed to prevail if we were going to get anywhere close to making contact with the village before it got too late.
I relaxed and closed my eyes as I took upon the form of a sandy blond haired man in his thirties who was dressed in all black from the neck down with only his left hand and face exposed to the elements. I stepped forward and waved my hand while softly speaking.
"It is not the time to think about romance."
"It is…not the time to think about romance." Sean copied my words in a slight daze. Not completely out of it, but his eyes blinked a few times and he seemed as if he wasn't completely there.
"We must meet the other werecheetahs." I continued.
"We must meet the other werecheetahs." Sean agreed, even if he didn't know exactly why.
"Their princess wants to meet them so we need to go see them now."
"Their princess wants to meet them. So we need to go see them now." The younger man smiled at this and turned from Tanya and started walking in what I would guess was the direction of the village we had been searching form. His trance like state had left him and he waved us on indicating we should go with him.
"Are you a sorcerer too Alex?" Tanya said in amazement, and with a sense of respect.
"Not in this form." I smiled at her in a friendly manner as I took Britanny's hand in mine and followed Sean's walking pace. "Let us say that the Force has great influence over the weak minded."
Britanny giggled a bit as Tanya smiled rubbing her chin in thought.
"The Force?" She turned to Gina and Brianna for some sort of explanation.
"Some sort of cosmic space 'magic' or Alex somehow able to access part of the universe's operating system or some such." Gina explained using air quotes when saying magic as she knew that it wasn't magic as it is properly known in the Gold Digger universe.
"So we following or what?" Brianna asked falling in behind Britanny and I.
Sean lead us through the grassland with single-minded focus and thankfully no interruptions from the local wildlife. No more venomous snakes for a while and thankfully no large predators to come charging at us, so out party was finally able to get some headway in this endeavor.
"Okay we are almost there." Sean said as we followed behind him. "I would wait until I say it is okay. Outsiders aren't exactly welcome here."
We couldn't see anyone or thing as the horizon still stretched for miles and miles. Nothing but grasses and brush with trees from time to time just as we all had noted when we first arrived in this area. I mean there was a few scattered stones and…wait where did Sean go? While we had all been looking for where the potential village was, somehow Sean had darted away and was nowhere to be seen. I decided to try and find him through the Force, before Britanny got upset and tracked him down by smell or something, and found that he was….underground… Yes for as odd as it seemed I could feel he was somewhere under where we were standing and he wasn't alone. I could feel the presence of maybe no more than a hundred or so like him, but why would a cheetah build underground?
"Hey were did that little punk get off to?" Britanny asked her ears started darting all over and her nose was twitching madly as she moved her head from side to side.
"I think he went underground." I said as I looked around and then closed my eyes and open myself to the will and understanding of the Force. "I'm not sure where or how, but I can feel his presence and those of many more under where we stand."
"Alex dear," Britanny said as she looked down at me. "Those weird Force powers of yours better not be fooling you as I can't see anything, I don't hear anything, and I barely smell anything."
"My love I am not lying to you." I smiled at her as I felt Sean approaching again. Britanny noticed this too and her ears immediately went to where I was feeling the other werecat moving from.
"Okay good." Sean said as he walked out from behind a rock. "Now follow me." He darted back behind the rock and the whole group was surprised to find that the rock was a precisely carved entrance to a stairway that lead down into the earth. The space was big enough for us to walk one in front of the other with a lot of space above us. I guess that was so that they could carry prey home, but only just that size.
"Where are we heading to Sean?" Britanny asked as she ran her finger tips up and down the sides of the wall and let her clawed tips catch the stone from time to time. There was some sort of deep longing in her voice and a distance in her gaze as she looked in awe at this work of her people.
"Jinkies Brianna look at this." Gina said as her little computer recorded everything. "It looks like the stone is so precisely carved that you can't even see the path unless you are looking right at it. If you look at either side of the floors the stairs meld into the foreground and you become completely disorientated." The super genius said this as she was moving her head from side to side capturing the path on video. Thankfully Brianna was able to keep her oldest sister focused on the path ahead enough that Gina didn't get violently ill with the eye strain.
"It is quiet fascinating I will say." Tanya said as her mystic energies glowed on her hands and she read the aura of the place. "Powerful magics made this, but it doesn't feel like it is old." Tanya placed her hands on the side of the path and let the energies she had summoned flow along the walls to truly feel what the stones could say.
"I can feel the remnants of a powerful mystic force that still lingers within this route. I can't make out exactly what mystic forces made it, but it left its handiwork full of powerful incantations." The dark-furred female was in such wonder that she had stopped for a moment to try and fully appreciate the work we had been walking through. She pulled herself away from the wall when she finally gave up seeming to get nowhere.
"Who built this place Sean?" Britanny said in wonder. "Was it our people or did we just find it?"
"Well we didn'a build it, but we didn'a steal it either from what I wa told." Sean said as he lead the way and we approached the end of the path. The confined space began to open and we saw for the first time the open space of Sean's home.
The village was vast and covered several acres of land. How they had kept it hidden was that the whole area was covered by a layer of ground that acted as a covered about twenty feet or so above the tops of the houses. It made no sense though. If they had dug into the ground the surely they would have hit groundwater and flooded the whole area, or even if it was dry then monsoonal flooding would have washed out the whole area….
"Wow…." Britanny stared in awe of the place. The huts were strewn around with what appeared to be a single family having their own home with kids of various ages playing in the dirt laughing as women were gathering various pots and jars and the men were sitting by fires as antelope and zebra roasted.
"Jinkies." Gina said as she was still recording everything and everyone. Was this really the people who supposedly were driven to extinction? Fred only had Britanny survive so how on earth did these people not get slaughtered? I mean yea the population was smaller than that of the werewolves by a large margin, but still how did these people go without being discovered for decades?
"SEAN Ye stupid gobber where have you been?" A rather irate young female voice said as a rather petite cheetah girl ran up to us completely focused on Sean. "Yea have been gone for hours and what do ye have to show for it? Huh not a bloody chunk of meat to show for it."
"Now sis ye canna be upset with me." Sean said as he raised his hands and tried to calm her down. "I didn't come back with nothing. See I brought us someone special."
Sean then backed up and indicated the rather smaller looking werecat notice the 7' tall one standing before her.
"Hello I'm Britanny. This is my boyfriend Alex. What's your name?" My love smiled as she waved politely to the far smaller girl before her.
"Great gobs Sean where did'a find this one." The smaller werecat's hair was on edge and she was in shock at Britanny's form. Not exactly how we had hoped to meet the rest of Britanny's people, and it actually kinda hurt Britanny's feelings a bit. She began to tear up a bit as the other girl acted in fear of her.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Britanny said offering her hand again. The girl seemed to calm down at this and placed her far smaller hand into Britanny's. "See I want to be your friend." The pure and noble tone in Britanny's voice seemed to ease the fears within the younger lady.
"So what's your name kid?"
"Kid? Now ye listen here I may na be as tall as a tree and have those huge mounts on me chest but I am just as much a grown woman as ye be." She said in a huff. What was all this about Britanny's height and her breasts? I mean yes she has an amazing body but for crying out loud for a lycan she was rather normal sized, though she was smaller than Jetta.
"Now me name be Megan, and yea want to explain yourself and what you be doing here?" Megan said as she shook Britanny's hand.
"Oh I'm here because I was trying to find any trace of any werecheetahs. See I was a baby when I survived the death of everyone else and I wanted to see if I was alone in the world or if anyone else survived."
"Yea mean when those monster blood thirsty slobbering…" As Megan continued her tirade Britanny got irritated again and Sean started waving his hands in a "stop while you are ahead" motion.
"Ahem, Megan the werewolves in question were betrayed as much as we were and I am friends with their alpha Jetta. My boyfriend took a sliver bullet to save her son's life and establish that peace. You are not going to talk about them that way again okay?" Britanny's teeth were getting sharp again.
"Fine, but how do you have the right to say we are at peace with them then? Because yea are so big?"
"Uh sis, she is Xersus and Cyan's daughter." Sean spoke up. "She be our princess…."
Megan's eyes grew huge at this revelation and her body went limp. The state of shock she was in only compounded for a moment when Britanny let go of Megan's hand and the smaller female looked down at her own free limb. She blinked a few times before dropping to her knees and seeming to beg for mercy. "Don'a hurt me please ye grace I didn'a know…."
"Okay stop, just stop. I'm not going to hurt you. I don't want to harm you, and I'm really not sure about this whole 'princess' thing anyway." Britanny explained looking Megan right in the eyes and placing her hand on her shoulder.
Brianna and Gina just chuckled a bit at this and finally Megan noticed the rest of us.
"AH humans what are ye doing here?" this reaction, combined with the smaller lycan jumping to her feet in shock only caused more laughter.
"Okay before we go through this again." Britanny said with no small amount of frustration. So she placed her hand on Megan's shoulder again and pointed to us one by one. "That is Alex. He is my boyfriend and is sort of a human. That is my older adoptive sister Gina, she is completely human and an uber nerd so be prepared to answer a lot of questions. That is Brianna, she is my younger sister and is kind of a werecat like me but is as smart as Gina….but likes to make things explode more than we do. And lastly we have Tanya who is a friend of the family and representative of the Kryn who is on a mission from her prince to find and make contact with the remaining members of our people." Britanny finished as she then looked to Megan again.
"Now we aren't going to hurt you, we don't want to cause a problem, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone in the world." Megan took one look at us and was shocked. By this time everyone seemed to take an interest in us and many can come to take a look at Britanny. At that point the daily activity of the people had more or less come to an end as the other werecats formed a semicircle around us at the entrance of the village.
I could feel about 80 or so that finally gathered around us from the whole population. Men, women, children, the young, and even the infant in their mother's arms…everyone was curious as to who it was that had come. These werecheetah though were far different from Britanny. Yes they were well built, but most if not all were shorter, far leaner, and not a single female among them had the build Britanny had been gifted with.
"Hello." Britanny sheepishly waved as everyone was at a loss as to what to do. That is until an older werecat, I would have guessed middle aged if that meant anything to a lycan. With white sides to his hair and a beard similar to that of Orson Wells or Sean Connery approached us. He carried himself with such an air of dignity that I would have expected him to be some sort of royal like Tanya or Strype.
"Hello M'Lady." He said as everyone else made room for him. "You seem to have us all at a disadvantage." He spoke with an extremely British accent and was dressed in the well-kept but very old looking uniform of a British Army regular from the post Napoleonic Age. On his person was an old saber with gold hilt and in his hand was a walking stick of black wood with a golden head. No boots were on his feet, but the rest of the well-worn uniform was there, and everyone seemed to make way for him.
"I am Capt. John Savemore of her majesties' Imperial Army, and what could be best described as the one in charge around here." He smiled at us all. "But perhaps that title has long since passed as we have been here for 200 years with little contact since the time of the werewolves."
"Nice to meet you." Britanny was the first to start talking, which seemed best as everyone was in awe of her. The sense was not fear, but wonder in their minds. I could sense they were just as shocked to see us as we were to see them. "I'm Britanny Diggers and apparently I am not the last werecheetah anymore." My love smiled as she waved to everyone.
"She be the daughter of the Alphas sir." Sean said as he backed away and let the older man step forward.
"Xerses and Cyan's little girl lived…." The Capt. Said as he looked upon her. "That little precious….oh my lady you make my old bones happy. Indeed, you smell of your mother too well." The man kneeled before Britanny and everyone else followed behind him.
"Woo woo woo I appreciate the sentiment, but you don't really have to do this." Britanny said as she tried to pacify everyone. Britanny may love wealth and can be sort of shallow at time with regards to material goods, but her heart was pure gold and the idea of ruling others wasn't something she liked to do. "Okay I know you consider me a princess or something, but I'm too much a Georgia girl to rule anyone."
"My lady, do not worry about the formalities." The Capt. said as he rose still bowing. "I have served in this court for many years and was in the service of the British Empire before that. I believe I can speak for all of us when I say we are so thankful that you are here, that you are alive is enough for us. Please I welcome all of you to our home as honored guests." The man said as he welcomed us.
"Well sure. It would be a pleasure to know each and everyone of you." Britanny said as she looked back at all of us. "But a few things I want to say, One: We are at peace with the werewolves and the only werewolf is our enemy is that Brendan guy that Jetta kicked the butt of decades ago." Britanny just about yelled this to everyone.
"I know what they did, I know what happened, my love here took a bullet to save Jetta's son's life and so we are at peace. I am saying this once so I don't have to repeat myself about a hundred more times today."
Everyone looked at one another and shrugged. Afterall who was going to question the returning princess?
"Uh Gina probably a good idea to tell Genn what's going on so the camp will be protected." Brianna whispered to Gina who nodded her head.
"Uh hey Genn make sure to lock down everything for the night. I'll tell you tomorrow but for tonight you got the camp to yourself." Gina said as she talked into her computer.
"So anything else I can answer now?" Britanny said to the assembled crowd. Everyone was staring at her.
"Yes, what in the world were they feeding you?" Someone yelled out from the group. "You look like you could take down a werewolf by yourself." This may have been meant as a complement, but Britanny sadly had gotten her butt kicked by Jetta months ago and it still hurt her pride.
"Uh yea, I'm an American thank you so that explains that." She yelled back while showing off her muscles. "And before any of you ask," She grabbed me by the back and lifted me by one hand. "I am spoken for and this is my boyfriend so ladies hands off and guys you can admire me all you want but don't touch."
This got everyone a chuckle. I was still in the form of the one I used earlier and if you can't figure out who that is, well it should be obvious.
"Uh Britanny would you be so kind as to place me back on the ground?" I asked as she just lifted me in her arm and squeezed me affectionately before doing so.
"And these are my sisters Gina and Brianna." She pointed towards the other women of our group. "And Tanya helped us find you."
A series of bowing and waving followed. My use of the lightside of the Force to persuade everyone to be polite seemed to be helping keep everyone civil.
"So I have a question Capt. How?" Britanny asked. The man before her.
"How what my dear?" He asked back in confusion.
"How did you survive? How did all of you not get massacred with the rest of our people and my biological family?" Britanny asked with a tremor in her voice. She was open as she could be, like a child begging for some gift she had wanted all their life.
"My dear to answer that I must know, how much do you know about your people." The Capt. continued as he lead us through the group of people before us.
"Honestly, not much. I was raised by loving parents but as humans they didn't know a lot of werecats." Britanny said talking to the man before her.
"And I was born a human and had to learn everything."
"Wait you were human, but I thought that if you were turned into a lycan you become a thrall." Britanny said in shock. "Sorry sorry that was rude."
The older man stopped for a second as he collected his thoughts. "It is true my dear. I am not a full blooded werecheetah…and I was turned into one from being human over a century a year ago…but it was not because of malice but rather it was a tragic accident." He continued.
"I was the commanding officer of a detachment of British forces here in Africa in the service of our Queen Victoria and our orders were to keep the territory from the German forces that were flooding into the region. We had fortified a garrison and waited. Day by day we waited an patrolled the region. Our nerves were thread-bare and we had to support ourselves for the most part being so far ahead of any supplies. Over the course of several nights we had seen a number of odd sightings of animal like people in the distance. Never close enough to our camp, but eventually all of my men and I saw them. We reported such to our superiors but the information was usually ignored or passed off as jungle fever or such." The man caught his breath for a moment before continuing.
"It was late one day when we finally did find someone, but sadly it was not a detachment of Germans but instead one small injured girl who was shot. My men immediately bandaged her up and took her to the medical officer to help save her life. He indeed removed the bullet and somehow miraculously she seemed to have survived with little difficulty. We kept her in the medical wing for safe keeping and continued with our duties, but that night was a full moon and little did we know what was in store for us…." He took a deep breath for a moment as he remembered.
"That little girl, she wouldn't have happened to have been a werecheetah was she?" Britanny asked as she knew where this was going.
"Yes, yes she was indeed. And under the light of a full moon she changed into her hybrid form and attacked us. It was not out of malice, but fear and desperation as she was alone and surrounded by people she didn't know. My men also did not know what they were up against and so fired upon her thinking a wild animal had gotten loose in the base. The smell of her blood and the cries of her in pain brought the rest of her people to us in an attempt to free her. Shots fired throughout the night, in the end though about ten of my men were left alive, but the combination of blood, scratches, moonlight, and the nature of lycanthropy none of us were human anymore."
"Pardon my ignorance sir." Tanya popped up. "But if what you say is correct, and the warnings I have been given quite forcefully that you should be a mindless slave by now."
"Indeed young one I would have been, however thralldom does not make you mindless unless the one who turned you wants you to be so. Your free will is hampered yes, but not entirely destroyed." The Capt. continued. "As the young girl was returned to her people, and the alpha saw what had actually happened there was a terrible amount of regret. He had seen how one of his people had been cared for and that we had no idea about them any more than they had about us. In the end though one of those werecats there that night offered a suggestion. They would help bury my men with honor for their courage and out of respect for the kindness that we had shown to try and save that one girl's life. We also would become part of the werecheetah clan without our free will's taken and continue to serve the British Empire at our base. However, we would not be allowed to leave the continent and eventually we would have to move into the werecheetah tribe forever having to give up our families back home to preserve the secret location and to prevent any potential outbreak." At that point the officer was facing Britanny directly and with a heavy heart continued. "We agreed and settled among the people here. The one who made that decision was the son of the Alpha at the time and eventually became Alpha himself Xerses. Britanny your father saved my life that day and the lives of my men. Sadly the young girl who we saved you also know the name of…"
"I guess that it was my mother…Cyan who you rescued and who turned you right?" Britanny was rocked to her core and greatly ashamed it seemed, almost at the point of tears. Everyone was actually kind of down with this news. Gina, Brianna, myself, and Tanya all felt so hurt inside for what had happened that was a complete accident.
"Wow that kinda sucks don't you think." Gina said as she kept recording everything. Her glasses had gotten somewhat foggy by the tears she had been crying at this. I could feel the levels of pity in her heart raising as her sister was having to learn some painful truths about a family she had never met and had idolized for so long. The guy I turned into knew that all too well as the robotic right hand to attest to.
"Indeed. That is very tragic for all I would say." Tanya agreed, as she slowly removed the tears welling in her eyes. Her regal demeanor lost as her compassion for a friend's suffering rose.
Brianna though, probably was the most affected by this as she had been part of Britanny and knew all of her older sister's fears, hopes, and how much being a werecheetah was central to who she was. I could indeed feel her sadness as she could empathize like none of the rest of us could and gave her sister a short hug and pat on the back before backing away again. It did help and made them both feel better.
After that moment of reflection, the captain continued.
"Yes, she did. But she was so apologetic for doing so. And was indeed a child at the time that she did everything she could to make our lives as comfortable as possible. I was even there at your parent's wedding. I remember very well the news that you parents gave when they said they were expecting you. And I knew it was with great honor that they had personally asked me to keep this homeland safe for when they returned. My men and I, and our children stayed behind to keep this place safe and secure hoping that after the drought that we would meet you. I know that it is not the way we hoped to do so, but please for now let us all celebrate. You shall all be guests of honor tonight and share in our feast."
"Sure I'd love to, and I think everyone would love to as well." Britanny smiled so much at this. "But I do need to let my mom and dad…my adoptive parents that is, know what is going on. They would miss me so much and everything."
The Capt. just smiled at this, wrapped his arms around Britanny and hugged her tight. "My child you truly have your mother's heart to match your father's wisdom. This will always be your home, and all of your family are welcome here. Just let me have one request…"
"Sure." Britanny said as the man stopped hugging her for a moment. "What is it?"
The Capt. beamed with pride. "Just let one old soldier know that he did his duty to his royal, now that his princess is finally home."
Britanny took this moment to put on the biggest show she could possibly have done and held her head, tail, and shoulders high as she declared for all to hear "Captain Suremore your princess Britanny Diggers of Atlanta Georgia suburb Decatur, adoptive daughter of Theodore and Julia Diggers and biological daughter of Cyan and Xersus hereby states that you have preformed your duty with upmost care for our people and that your honor is without question. Now can we please get something to eat…my tummy is starting to rumble." Cheets ended this display by rubbing her bare super toned abs indicating that it would be in everyone's best interests to get her fed as soon as possible.
"Of course my dear. Sean get your lazy furry butt in gear and inform everyone that we are going to have a great feast tonight. The finest Zebra is to be prepared and the antelope must be made. Chop chop." The old man pointed as the kid who we found at the start of this adventure started running around like someone had smacked him in the butt with a rapier.
"Yes sir, yes sir…" Sean cried as he made tracks.
"Foolish boy, but he has potential." The captain commented at the sight. "So young man what is your interest in Britanny then?" He said facing me.
"She is my lady, my girl, and my partner." I said showing my true form to bring home the point that it was me saying it. Even if only Britanny understood this that is what mattered. "My interest in making her happy and making sure that she know that I've always got her back as she has mine. So if you are worried about me hurting her then forget it as I didn't kick a dragon's ass, take on arcane sorcerers, battle giant robots powered by evil magic, take on the Alpha of the werewolves, save their kid pojo's life, help free Atlantis, and travel across the world to help her find the last werecheetahs alive, battle nut job minime Dr. Mindbender, and get shot across time and space to let her go without a fight or her consent so…"
"You're a Yank aren't you." He looked me up and down.
"Uh yea so is she, unless you want to count her as a rebel girl because of the south but I don't think she identifies as such." I said looking up at Britanny who was in a very happy mood listening to me.
"You are crass, blunt, abrasive, and seem to have a desire to fight in your heart for those that you love." The older man noted. "You aren't one of those 'cowboys' I read about in pulp books are you?"
"I came here from Montana pal, what do you think?" This made him look up at Britanny.
"Boots and all?" He asked her. Britanny replied by placing her arms under her breasts and smiling.
"Yep." She nodded. "Boots and all." She ended it by wrapping her tail around me and just shrugging.
"My princess fell in love with a cowboy." He sighed in disbelief. "The men will never believe this." Instead of getting upset though, he laughed. "Well God Bless America then I suppose."
To be continued.
Author's notes: Okay as many people didn't seem to like the last update I posted I poured out a far greater amount of story and such into this chapter. I hope that I will get some great feedback on this and that people enjoy this chapter more than the last one was.
