Lesson Three - Beware of Mothers

Unknown Planet, Fused Ship - Ryu, Hanami, Kaede, and Chris' shared Quarters

It had been a trying test of Ryu's patience to get the three extremely aroused girls to his room, between Chris and Hanami's attempts at exhibitionism and Kaede's seemingly new found homicidal urges towards anyone who even looked at him the wrong way, it had taken him longer than it should have to get the trio to the assigned quarters, but he managed it, and was now being manhandled onto the king sized bed that Wilson had thoughtfully provided for them.

Although, it would be better to describe the quarters as a small apartment, considering that it was made up of a good sized living room with attached kitchen, a rather large bathroom with a jacuzzi like bathtub along with a several closets attached to the large bedroom, one of them had been turned into a lockup - obviously for Ryu's gear which he quickly made use of, stripping out of his combat suit and secured his weapons.

"Finally~" Chris moaned out as she literally tore off the temporary jumper she had been wearing once Ryu had finished undressing. "My body is burning for you Ryu~"

"We're all virgins here, Ryu-kun," Hanami smiled coyly, sashaying forward after similarly ripping off her jumper with her enhanced strength. "Be gentle~"

Ryu closed his eyes and took in a deep calming breath before reopening them. "Right then," he muttered before placing his hands on Hanami's bare hips and pulled her into a gentle kiss, feeling himself stiffen as her bust mashed up against his chest.

It was clear that she was doing it on purpose though, from the smirk on her lips. "How do you like our more… adult bodies, Ryu-kun?" she whispered.

"Admittedly… enthralling," he informed heatedly. "But I also must admit to not completely wanting to do this as you're not exactly in the right frame of mind…"

"B-But we're feeling so hot and bothered because of you, Ryu-kun…" Hanami pleaded, her eyes quivering slightly. "And there's no one else on the ship that we can trust enough to do this at the moment…"

"It helps that Ryu-kun is a man among men!" Kaede contributed eagerly.

"A most manly man indeed," Chris chimed in, her eyes drawn down below.

"And that is why I am going through with this, Hanami," Ryu answered. "But, I hope we can discuss this when you're… calmed down."

"Ara, but I'm not sure if I want to calm down," Hanami chuckled, hefting her large breasts with one arm and reaching down to her sopping wet entrance with the other. "This is pretty fun."

Ryu rolled his eyes in response. "Not sure if I can survive you like this, any of you," he informed, making the girls giggle. "But… I think we have some other business to attend to."

"Yeah, we do~" the girls chorused, swarming close enough to push Ryu down onto the bed using the combined bulk of their breasts.

Ryu allowed his perversity to break through as he felt the trio of H-Cups press up against his body as each of the girls pressed up against him, Hanami directly atop of him as Chris and Kaede took either side. "So… how shall we do this?" he asked as his hands began to roam their surprisingly pliable, feather soft skin.

"Me first!" all of the girls yelled out at once, before they glared at each other heatedly. "So there's only one way to decide…"

The girls faced each other, raising their fists. "Rock-Paper-Scissors!" they chorused, bringing their hands down.

The grinning silverette who had thrown out a paper to the other two girls' rock turned back towards Ryu and crawled on top of him. "I guess I'm first," she whispered sensually, tucking a stray strand of her silver and red hair back.

Ryu chuckled. "That works I suppose," he informed with a chuckle as he ran his hands along her hips before massaging her asscheeks gently. Leaving one hand to continue that course of action, Ryu brought up his other hand to the back of her head as he pulled her down for a lingering kiss.

"Ahn~ so bold~" Hanami moaned, on fire where Ryu was touching her and getting her already erect nipples to harden even further. "I'd like it more if you massage my upper body though," she murmured through the kiss.

"If that's what you want," Ryu informed before he flipped them over, his hands resting on her chest as he slowly began to rub them in slow, gentle circles, leaning back in for another kiss, his tongue brushing up against her mouth for entrance as he continued his ministrations.

Hanami gladly obliged, slipping her own tongue into Ryu's mouth, even as she moaned slightly. After they broke apart, she eagerly lapped up the trail of saliva between their mouths. "Ryu-kun, do you like big breasts?" she smiled, shaking ever so slightly as Ryu continued rubbing her soft, fleshy mounds.

"Can't say I'm against them..." Ryu informed teasingly as he gently brushed up against the areola around one of her nipples. "I think they'd make some very nice and soft pillows."

"Then what do you think of giant ones?" she added. "I'm all yours to do as you please, Ryu-kun… That includes massaging my breasts to make them get bigger~"

Ryu laughed gently as he slowly increased the tempo and force of his massage. "So you want them bigger do you?" he asked softly. "Then maybe I should pick up my pace a little?"

"I'd like them bigger, yes…" she moaned. "Even if it's just a myth… hyaan~ you don't have any objections to trying it out, right?"

"Not really," he informed before leaning down and flicking her nipple with his tongue making her let out a louder moan. "Liked that did you?"

The silverette couldn't do much more than nod her agreement, even as she felt a small release down below. "St-Stop teasing me…" she moaned.

"Well, if that's what you want," he informed before latching onto her nipple with his mouth and began to suck on it, watching her squirm and moan in pleasure, his now free hand slowly making its way down to her wet core.

Hanami froze when she felt his hand lightly brush across her clit, sending waves of electric pleasure shooting through her entire body. "I… I want you inside me, Ryu-kun…" she whispered, reaching down with one hand and spreading herself wide open.

Ryu gave her a soft smile before he lined himself up with her entrance and slowly pushed himself in before coming up to her hymen. "Are you sure, Hanami?" he asked her softly.

"I was sure the moment we… transformed into adults," she grinned weakly, bracing herself. "Just take my virginity already! Make me feel so good I can't feel the pain!"

Ryu nodded as he pushed himself past her barrier, capturing her lips in a heated kiss as he waited for her minor trembling to subside, a small nod in the middle of the kiss was her indicator to start moving, allowing him to roll his hips, eliciting a gasp from the both of them. "It's… really tight."

"Oh, yes, that's it, Ryu-kun!" she gasped, clenching down even tighter on the captain's rock-hard member. "I-I-I've never felt so good in my life!"

Ryu began to pick up his thrusts into her, gasping slightly as she clenched down even harder on him. "Believe me, it's the same with me," he told her as he pounded into her, his fingers pinching, tugging and playing with her nipples. "Your entire body feels so good."

"Of course it does, it's an adult body!" Hanami exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him. "Although… I'd also like to try this in my younger form and see what's different…"

"If that's what you want," Ryu answered, going back in for another kiss. "Hanami… I think I'm going to cum soon…"

"M-Me too, Ryu-kun! Fill me with your seed!" she moaned, pulling his body in closer so he was mashed against her soft, pillowy breasts.

Ryu grunted as he sheathed himself fully within her, pressing up against her womb. "I'm cumming!" he called out as he released his thick spunk within her.

"Ryu-kun!" Hanami called out, tensing herself as her juices gushed out as well, mixing with Ryu's in her womb. She continued to clench and unclench her muscles in an attempt to milk Ryu of all he had, although she seriously doubted that she'd be able to. Nonetheless, she was engulfed in a wave of pleasure that had her panting and heaving, causing her breasts to wobble enticingly on her chest.

Ryu panted as he felt her vagina ripple around him, coaxing some more of his seed out of him, his eyes glued onto her wobbling breasts as he tried to recover.

He was brought to our his state of distraction as he felt a pair of hands grip his shoulder before he was yanked off of Hanami who let out a small whine as she felt his rod being pulled from out of her body, before he was thrown back onto the bed as Kaede quickly straddled him. "It's my turn now, Ryu-kun," she whispered possessively as she rocked her hips against his, running his erection along her wet slit, moaning as it pressed up against her clit. "I want you to have what no other man will ever have."

Ryu blinked as he came back to reality, just in time for her to lean down and capture his lips with her own, her tongue plunging deeply into his mouth as she forcefully took control of the kiss, rubbing the entirety of her body against his in a sensual manner. "Ka… ede," Ryu panted out as they separated, his hands resting on her hips as he felt her rock hard nipples scrape against his chest.

"Yesss~" she hissed out in pleasure. "Say my name more… Ryu-kun~"

"Kaede," Ryu whispered again, in a more husky manner, making her shiver again in pleasure. "Kaede, your body is different than Hanami's but yours is good all on its own, firm and strong."

Kaede moaned at his words, shaking from a minor release at them and her rubbing against him. "Yess~" she moaned out as she pushed herself upright, lining her pussy up with his hard prick. "Now I want this inside of me, fucking me, pouring its potent thick seed into me."

Ryu gasped as she suddenly plunged down upon him, not even stopping for her broken hymen as she began to ride his cock eagerly, bucking and bouncing on top of him with loud moans as she raked her fingernails along his chest, leaving small scratch marks upon it.

"So big~" Kaede moaned out. "It's filling me up so much more than what any other of those limped dicked boys ever could, Ryu-kun~!"

"You're squeezing me so tightly, Kaede," Ryu moaned out as she clamped around him.

"Because, I want more inside me," she moaned. "I want to feel that thick, hot, potent seed attacking my womb!"

"Kaede, I'm going to cum soon," he warned her.

"Good~" she cooed in response sd she erratically began to buck against him. "Give it to me and make me cum!"

"It's coming!"

"Ryu-kun~!" Kaede shouted out in a mix of a scream and a moan as she pressed her entire body against him, hugging him tightly as he released within her, shooting straight into her womb as she was hit by a massive orgasm.

Kaede panted erotically atop of him as she shivered from the orgasm. "That… that felt so good, Ryu-kun," she breathed out after a few more moments. "And your seed feels so good inside of me~"

"Well it's my turn now!" Chris called out as she moved Kaede out of the way, grinning lustfully at Ryu. "And you're still hard, you really are a man amongst men…"

Ryu panted as he looked at his erection in surprise. "As surprising to me as it is to you," he admitted as she flicked her tongue along his length, pulling a moan from him.

"Mm… so tasty, the mix of Kaede's, Hanami's and your juices taste really good," she informed as she gave him a few more licks before she turned herself around on all fours and lowered her upper body to the bed so that she could use both hands to pull her pussy lips apart. "Please, won't you add a third person's taste to it, Ryu?"

Ryu chuckled slightly as he pulled himself up and positioned himself behind her. "I've come this far," he agreed.

"Please, just shove it in and fuck me hard," she moaned out to him as she felt him press up against her. "I need it so bad I don't care about the pain."

Ryu blinked twice before nodding. "If that's what you want," he conceded before shoving himself in completely and started pounding into her, making her let out a wail of pleasure as she bucked her hips back into him.

"So good~" she moaned out joyfully. "It feels so good pounding into my pussy! Harder, please, fuck me harder, Ryu~!"

Ryu gasped lightly before he began to pick up the pace and strength of his thrusts into her, his fingers digging into her soft, pillowy flesh for a better grip as he did so. "Are… are you enjoying the pain?" he asked in slight confusion.

"Yes~" Chris moaned as she was pounded into the bed relentlessly. "I've always liked getting hurt, it just feels so good~"

Ryu blinked in surprised before giving her ass an experimental smack, causing her to let out a loud scream as she clenched around him. "Yes, like that!" she cried out as he smacked her ass again, watching, entranced as her asscheeks jiggled from the blow. "I'm a masochist! I love pain!"

"Who am I to comment on what they want," Ryu asked himself in a low mutter before giving her ass another smack. "Chris, your pussy is making me want to cum."

"Yes, please, let my womb taste your cum, I want to feel it within me!" Chris pleaded as she bucked back against him.

"Alright then, here it comes!" Ryu called out as with one final smack he hilted himself fully within her, exploding his seed inside of her womb as she cried out to the heavens in joy from the bliss it was giving her.

Collapsing back onto the bed, Ryu panted as he stared up at the ceiling tiredly. "I'm tapped out," he informed tiredly. "You three drained me completely…"

There was no reply from the three women.

Looking down Ryu blinked in surprise to see them fast asleep, their bodies slowly reverting to their teenaged forms, before letting out a sigh. "It has been a long day," he mused to himself as he absently pulled the trio, barely consciously aware of doing it as he set Hanami atop of him with Kaede and Chris on either side of him, clutching his arms. "But, sleeping is a good idea…" with that final mutter Ryu allowed his eyes to drift close, enjoying the warmth of the surrounding bodies around him.

The Next Morning

"Mugyaa~" Hanami yawned as she snuggled into her very much warm and hard pillow - not that being hard made it uncomfortable - in fact it felt really nice to touch.

Wait a second, she didn't remember ever having a pillow that felt like this… not to mention it even felt like it was moving slightly! She slowly opened her eyes, before she realized exactly what her 'pillow' was. Ryu's sleeping form lay beneath her, causing her breath to hitch when she also found out that both of them were naked.

What in the world had happened to them last night!? She gasped out loud when her memories of the fight the previous day came to her - she even remembered how she had been acting when she had transformed that second time! That… that… had been so… so… embarrassing!

"R-R-R-R-Ryu-kun, wa-wa-was yesterday a dream?" she asked hopefully, even though the male seemed to be asleep.

"No, no it wasn't," Ryu informed softly, his eyes remaining closed, seemingly content with their current position from the oddly… gentle smile on his face. "It was very real… I… I hope you're not mad or see me as taking advantage of the situation, do you?"

"N-No, not really!" Hanami hurriedly replied, her whole face completely red in her embarrassment. "B-But was I really acting so… so… so shamelessly back then? On the battlefield? On a public radio channel?"

"You were," he confirmed, a twitch on his lips informing her of his amusement at the situation. "It was… different from the usual you."

Hanami froze, her brain trying to process the information and completely failing at it. It quickly led to a catastrophic failure across the board, as she passed out and collapsed back onto Ryu's chest.

Ryu blinked, opening his eyes as her head thudded lightly on his chest. "Huh… interesting reaction…" he muttered softly.

"In case you're wondering, I don't regret a thing from yesterday," Kaede said as she opened one eye, wrapping her arms around Ryu's left arm and pulling it into her bosom. "My okaa-san probably won't have any objections to my first time being with you…"

"So I don't have to worry about a frenzied horde of angry mothers chasing after me then?" he asked with a small smirk.

"I'm the only one among the three of us with her okaa-san on the ship after all," she sighed. "I just wish I wasn't such a yandere after transforming the second time…"

"I'll admit it was a bit… disconcerting," Ryu admitted with a small wince. "But far easier to handle than these two."

"I only remember Hanami-chan being super perverted," Kaede laughed. "I passed out after my turn, so I don't remember how Chris-chan was like."

"I seemed to have developed some… masochism…" Chris explained, sounding groggy as her eyes fluttered open. "I can't believe I really did that."

"I think that's a sentiment all of us share," the black-haired girl nodded. "Especially that part about how horny we all got there…"

"Well, from Dr. Wilson's explanation, the power you guys have seems to slowly pump out an aphrodisiac-like chemical into your body the longer its active, and considering you three triggered a secondary transformation..." Ryu explained before trailing off.

"So… the longer we use the armour, the… hornier we get…" Kaede's cheeks reddened. "Great, just great."

"Well, I suppose there could be worse trade offs," Chris inputted as she slowly trailed a finger along the space Hanami wasn't taking up on Ryu's chest.

Hanami let out a small yawn as she woke up. Blinking a few times, she looked back down at Ryu, let out a small squeak before collapsing again.

"How many times is she going to be doing that?" Ryu asked, looking at Kaede with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know," Kaede shrugged. "This is honestly the first time I've seen her faint more than once in a row."

"Well, considering what happened yesterday… more specifically last night?" Chris replied, letting out a small giggle.

"I have my money on at least 6 more times," Kaede smirked.

"Eh, I don't mind," Ryu informed letting his head fall back onto his pillow. "I'm completely content with this position right now."

"It feels slightly wrong to me, being in a relationship with a guy older than me by about 10 years, but I don't think I care anymore," Kaede snuggled into Ryu's side happily.

Chris nodded as she mimicked her maneuver on the other side. "Agreed," she informed. "And honestly… I don't think I'd mind repeats of last night…"

"Neither would I. But maybe next time in our normal forms, I'm not that big a fan of my yandere mode," Kaede sighed.

"I will admit, it did find it… oddly adorable the way you thought I needed to be protected," Ryu informed, a slight teasing tone leaking into his voice.

"I-I-I wasn't myself at the time!" Kaede blushed. "And besides, with how good-looking you are, aren't there other girls interested in you too?"

Ryu shrugged. "Not that I'm aware of," he informed. "I'll be honest, never really had much interaction with non-combat personnel until the start of this expedition."

Hanami chose that moment to wake up again, before her eyes widened and she sat up to check her position. Upon seeing Ryu, she fainted again, this time with her breasts squashed against Ryu's chest.

"There she goes again," Kaede rolled her eyes.

Ryu chuckled as he somehow managed to maneuver the arm that Kaede had a grip on to slowly stroke her hair, while Kaede was still wrapped around it. "She's an innocent one, isn't she?" he asked humorously. "What did she do when someone tried to confess in school?"

"She'd turn red, stutter for a while before fainting," Kaede giggled. "Happened without fail every single time. In the end she'd never be able to give a reply, usually because she faints while trying to do it, no matter whether it was written or spoken."

"Huh…" Both Ryu and Chris responded in eerie unison. "Man, in its own way, that would be incredibly intimidating for a guy."

"She's had a few run ins with the bad sort before, requiring me to step in as well," Kaede shook her head, looking down at her chest. "Even before all this happened, she's been quite a bit on the… curvy side on the normal Earth scale."

"Yeah, that can certainly bring about the wrong sort of attention," Ryu agreed with a grimace before chuckling slightly. "Although I have seen it backfire when a group of street punks tried it with a Priestess of Felra."

"I don't think I'll ever understand that religion of yours," Kaede sighed. "Then again, we're more civilians than fighters, despite these armours we have now…"

Ryu hummed slightly. "Felra… it can seem intimidating on the outside I suppose," he agreed. "But then again, I was raised in one of their monasteries, so I grew up around it, but at its core, the religion of Felra is Protection of the Weak, through the Power of the Strong."

"That's pretty noble," Kaede smiled. "Which only makes you all the more attractive to girls like us."

Ryu chuckled. "I'm not complaining," he swore as he continued to stroke Hanami's hair. "Three beauties around me, not complaining at all."

"You'd better not be," Chris informed, jabbing him lightly in his side. "I'd hurt you if you did."

Hanami woke up again, but this time she fainted almost immediately afterwards upon seeing Ryu's face so close to hers. He was the only one who saw it this time.

"So, where did you and Hanami grow up, Kaede?" Ryu asked curiously.

"We're native Japanese from the city of Saitama in the Saitama Prefecture," Kaede explained. "We were childhood friends, went to the same schools all the way until we applied for the colonization effort."

"Nice, the two of you must be close then," Ryu mused. "How about you, Chris?"

"Well, I'm actually from New York, I… I grew up in the poor neighbourhoods, and when I was approved for joining the colonization effort, my mom encouraged me to do it so I had a way out of the slums," Chris informed, before hugging his arm tightly. "I think she would have adored you, all of you."

"Awww," Kaede gushed. "Don't worry, my oka- er, mum won't mind taking us all in. I'm just wondering how she's doing…"

"Why don't you go visit her today then?" Ryu offered. "I need to speak to the section chiefs today anyways."

"I'm not going out into the public areas of the ship in my birthday suit!" Kaede squeaked. "Ca-Can we get some clothes first?"

"Well, we haven't checked the closets or the dressers yet," Ryu informed. "I think Dr. Wilson intended for this to be our… permanently assigned quarters, so it wouldn't surprise me if she already had clothes set up in here, knowing your measurements and all…"

"R-Right…" Kaede nodded slowly, reluctantly relinquishing Ryu's arm as she rolled off the bed and walked over to the dresser. Opening the doors, she got a pleasant surprise as his prediction proved correct - there were indeed compression suits inside that were sized perfectly to fit them.

"I hope the shopping arcade is going to be opened soon," Chris gushed, looking over the compression suits. "Cause I want to make Hanami and Kaede into my models!"

Despite still being unconscious, Hanami managed to shudder as if she was having a particularly bad dream.

"Do as you wish…" Kaede groaned, recognizing the futility of making the golden-haired girl give up on that.

Chris let out an excited squeal. "Oh this is going to be so much fun~" she informed happily. "I'll make you two so cute, or maybe you want to be drop dead sexy for Ryu?"

Hanami jerked awake, blushed even brighter than before and fainted again.

"That's the 4th time," Kaede noted. "And I'm not sure if we can pull off 'cute' with these bodies," she gestured down at her large breasts.

"Sexy it is then!" Chris informed as she also climbed off Ryu, just as reluctant as Kaede. "Ohh~ this is going to be fun~"

"Really, have fun with it," Ryu sincerely told them. "It'll be better than talking with the section chiefs, they can be such children sometimes."

"Well, don't let us keep you for too long," Kaede smiled softly. "Go do your thing, Captain."

Ryu rolled his eyes, carefully eying Hanami before suddenly pinching her buttcheek.

"Eeep!" Hanami yelped, rolling off the bed in shock. Kaede only just managed to catch her friend in time before she could hit the ground painfully. "That hurt…"

"Well, I needed to wake you up so I could get out of bed," Ryu informed as he slid from the bed and grabbed a male compression suit. "Plus, it was funny."

"Ryu-kun, that was mean…" Hanami whined, before she revisited her memories from the previous day again and her cheeks turned bright red.

"You're not fainting on us again!" Kaede quickly pinched the silverette's cheeks.

"Ow! Fine, fine!" Hanami protested.

Ryu chuckled as he finished dressing, before kissing each of the three girls on the forehead. "I'll be seeing you three later," he informed them. "How about we discuss our… um… new relationship over dinner, and go from there?"

"That… s-s-sounds like an idea," Hanami was still crimson red, as she tried her level best not to pass out again.

Ryu gave them a kind smile. "I'll see you guys then," he told them before disappearing out the door.

"So… how was it for you?" Chris asked as soon as she was sure Ryu was gone. "Cause, even with how… weird I was acting, it was amazing."

Hanami opened her mouth to say something, but closed it quickly as her blush spread to her neck. It took her a while to recompose herself. "W-W-Weren't we… er… t-t-t-touching ea-each other in t-t-the C-C-C-Converse?"

Chris blinked a few times before recalling the event. "Oh yeah, we were… I wouldn't mind trying again," she informed with a bright smile. "Cause… well… if all three of us are going to be… with Ryu… wouldn't it help if we were with each other as well?"

That did for the innocent silverette, as her eyes rolled up in the back of her head and she went out like a light once again, collapsing onto the ground like a puppet that had its strings cut.

"Not again, Hanami-chan!" Kaede groaned.

Later that Day - With Ryu

"How are we holding up in here, Doctor?" Ryu asked as he walked into Dr. Marie Wilson's office, the doctor herself was sitting in the chair at her desk, utilizing a holographic control interface to manipulate a scan of the lizardmen. "I heard you were handling the interrogation of the Alien we captured."

"Ah, Captain Ryu," Dr. Wilson turned to greet him. "Yes, I am… though I'm not really sure I should be satisfied with the end results, as it turns out."

"What happened?" Ryu asked as he took as seat and leaned forward, placing his elbows on his knees.

"Simply put, the Androvan, the species of sentients that fought you and the others, had abducted a human civilization earlier… down to the last newborn," Dr. Wilson answered, shaking her head in sorrow.

"I see," Ryu responded with a small frown. "How about the colonists I found in the building? They looked to be a different species."

"Actually…" Dr. Wilson sighed. "There seems to be a problem here."

"What kind of problem?" Ryu asked, raising an eyebrow.

"The databases in the settlement were wiped clean, so we know absolutely nothing on them," Dr. Wilson answered.

"How about the bodies we brought back, were you able to learn anything about them from there?" he asked.

"Only that they're herbivores," she answered, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Other than that? Nada."

"Right, how about the women who've changed, were you able to learn anything after… *Cough* last night?" he asked, a slight blush of embarrassment.

"Er… about that, Captain," Dr. Wilson answered. "I didn't get much opportunity to study one of the women since you returned to your quarters. The only thing I managed to confirm was that your activities last night recharged their 'energy' to maximum capacity."

"Really?" Ryu asked in surprise. "How… how is such a thing possible?"

"Beats the hell out of me," Dr. Wilson shrugged, looking as confused as she sounded.

Ryu let out a sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Well that's fun," he muttered to himself. "So, has R&D begun work on the weapons we recovered?"

"That, yes," Dr. Wilson answered. "They managed to barely begin reverse engineering the technology behind them."

"Well, not expecting miracles overnight," Ryu informed with a sigh. "I suppose I should go down and talk to Chief Engineer Hawthrop, said they wanted to talk to me about the… transformed girls ability to morph weapons."

"You mean Yuki, right?" Dr. Wilson asked in clarification.

Ryu nodded. "You know of anyone else who's crazy enough to take charge of the Engineers we have?" he asked humourously.

"Well, that's not what I meant, actually," Dr. Wilson clarified. "It's more like… I think she was hit by the dying star really hard while we were in cold sleep."

Ryu nodded. "I'll keep an eye out then," he promised as he stood up. "Please let me know if R&D makes any progress, also, have Sigurd translate your reports and send them to our… allies, I'd rather not have them making accusations of hoarding."

"Right, Captain," Dr. Wilson nodded.

Ryu stepped out of her office and began making his way to the elevator to go down to the Engineering Deck - mentally praising the designers of Savant Heavy Industries for instead of building a single bay or research lab, they had dedicated entire decks to housing numerous construction facilities, repair bays, research labs, and even testing areas.

"Oi! Hawthrop, you called?" Ryu shouted out as he entered the open Engineering Deck, his voice carrying over the noise of the Engineers at work.

"Yes, Captain!" a woman called out from an office halfway through the deck. "I'm currently in my office!"

Ryu made his way through the assorted assembly lines that were currently taking apart some of the vehicles that had been fused during the trip, analyzing what it had changed and if it could be improved until he stepped into the office closing the door behind him, pausing as he took in the Chief Engineer's new appearance. "Wow… upgraded your breast size I see."

Yuki Hawthrop rolled her green eyes in mock annoyance. "Yes, yes, I know, Captain," she said, moving her left hand into her red-streaked white hair. "I could've sworn I was too old for this sort of growth, especially considering that I'm 22, and that I was at C-cup before the dying star happened… now, though, I'm probably at, what, G-cup?"

"That's a pretty big jump," Ryu agreed with a chuckle. "Have you manifested the armor yet?"

"Regrettably, no," she answered. "If I could, I'd know how the others got their weapons to morph from the get go."

Ryu nodded. "Well, there seems to be certain requirements or something for the weapon morphing," he informed with a sigh. "I had Katrina try it with my assault rifle, but nothing happened."

Yuki winced. "Yeah, that's not gonna end well," she said. "I think she has to have a specific weapon designed, like some form of Gatling Gun, though that would be purely conjecture."

Ryu shrugged. "She'll be experimenting later, I think she's still locked up with Leon," he informed, laughing slightly at the thought of the two of them. "So, you said you had some ideas for the morphing?"

"Well," Yuki moved her hand through her hair and flung it around, before handing Ryu a folder with her right hand. "This is primarily for the non-flight capable girls, a support craft that acts as a base for their feet in mid-air… something I decided to call a Base Jabber, if you will."

"That'll be helpful," Ryu agreed. "Come up with some prototypes and if you haven't been able to summon your armor yet, I'll get some volunteers to help you test it."

"Thank you," Yuki said, before she reached with her left hand to a different folder and gave that to Ryu as well. "This, on the other hand, is an extra weapons configuration mode for specific types of females who are designed with the right dockable parts… it can also be considered extra armor."

Ryu flipped the folder open, leafing through it. "One of the girls has multiple forms?" he asked, looking up at Yuki.

"Yes, that's what happened," Yuki answered. "In fact… she's probably not alone on this front."

Ryu raised an eyebrow before continuing his reading. "Her sisters as well, huh?" he mused. "Hmm, it seems that relatives awaken something similar."

"Yes, that's what I'm theorizing," Yuki nodded.

Ryu hummed in agreement. "Right, have you had a chance at all to look at our… friend's weapons?"

"I actually have, yes," Yuki said, reaching for a different folder and handing that to Ryu. "Here's my findings so far, Captain."

Ryu took the file and began looking through it. "Plasma based weaponry," he murmured. "Artificially created huh?"

"Yes, that's exactly right," Yuki nodded once more.

Ryu hummed as he looked it over. "Well, looks like I got some homework to do, if you do manage to make some breakthroughs, have Sigurd translate the report and send it off to the Miltians," he told her, rubbing his eyes. "Don't want to start a cold war or anything with them."

"Roger that, Captain," Yuki agreed. "I'll keep you posted on the whole thing."

"Thanks, Yuki," Ryu said with a gusty breath. "Right then, off to solve the next crisis I think, need to speak with the Security Chief and the Miltian rep about setting up forces inside of the captured compound."

"Yes, that should do good," Yuki nodded, before holding her hand out. "Now, could I please have the folders back? I need to add more details later."

Ryu rolled his eyes and handed them off. "Have copies sent to my tablet," he told her. "I want to study them a bit more closely when - or more like: if - I get some time."

"I understand, Captain," Yuki said, before getting back to work.

Ryu nodded before stepping out and making his way back to the elevator. "I hope the girls are having a better time with Kaede's mom…" he muttered to himself as he hit the floor button.

Residential Block A - C building Quarters 101

"So what's your mom like, Kaede?" Chris asked curiously as the trio came up to the quarters that were assigned to the Serizawa matriarch.

"Ah, she's just your typical mum. Knowing her, she's been really worried about me, especially since she can't get into contact with me…" Kaede sighed, looking around as she pressed the button to open the door. "I don't want to worry her too much…"

"I actually think that's kind of her job, Kaede-chan…" Hanami pointed out, the three of them walking through the open doorway into a small apartment with white, sterile walls and minimalistic furniture.

The cold sleep pods on the ship were designed to be able to be taken apart when no longer needed, and combined with some other parts in storage they could be used to create actual, comfortable living space. The rooms that could be created were modular in nature, expansion easily performed simply by adding in more parts. Linking to the ship's plumbing was easily done as well, allowing each apartment to have its own bathroom and clean drinking water.

At least for some time. Despite all the water purification on the ship, the water would eventually run out unless a new water source was found. Plus, there were some people who were THAT queasy about drinking their own recycled and purified pee. Hanami was one of them.

Food, though, was an entirely different matter. With the fusion of the Sanctuary and the Eligor, the conveyor belts going around the ship to dispense food had been disrupted badly, and coverage was no longer complete. Only about 40% of the people in the residential blocks had food dispensers within a 4 minute walk. Not that the system was supposed to be used forever - it was expected that colonists should start farming, foraging and hunting for their own food at some point. The ship was only a temporary crutch to help people get started.

"KAAAEEEDEEEEE!"

All of a sudden, a head of shoulder-length white hair with blue, red and yellow streaks tackled Kaede with a surprising amount of force, knocking her over and bringing the other two girls along for the ride.

"I WAS SO WORRIED!" the woman looked up, allowing everyone to see her features. Kaede blinked a few times as she took in the woman's hair colour, green eyes and her bosom comparable to the girls themselves. "Are you hurt anywhere? And is this Hanami-chan? Who's the other girl?"

"Ah, I'm Christina Jaeger, ma'am," Chris informed dropping into a small bow. "A pleasure to meet you."

"O-Okaa-san, you look different too…" Kaede noted.

"Yes, well… I could say the same for you and Hanami-chan," the woman laughed sheepishly, her hand going to her hair on autopilot. "But no matter how you look, I'll always be able to recognize you on first sight!"

"Have you been cooped in here for all this while, Ibuki-san?" Hanami asked.

"Kind of… I haven't had anything to do other than watch some of the old documentaries we had recorded on the ship's database," Ibuki Serizawa sighed, looking at the holographic projector on one side of the room. "That and worry about you girls…"

"We-we're fine… sort of," Hanami laughed sheepishly.

"Come on in, come on in, have a seat!" Ibuki clapped, before gesturing at the table in the center of the room with a few chairs arranged around it. "Good thing I put in an order for those extra chairs."

The three girls nodded their assent, as they walked towards the table. Ibuki narrowed her eyes, seeing the… odd gait the three of them were carrying themselves with which could only mean one thing.

"So…" she began once everyone was seated. "Who's the man?"

Hanami spluttered for several moments, the reminder fresh in her head - how could it not be with how sore she was feeling?

"O-Okaa-san, how did you know!?" Kaede gasped, blushing bright red.

"Mother's intuition," Ibuki smiled ominously, tapping the side of her head. "I thought I warned you about this kind of thing, Kaede…"

"W-Well, we had no choice!" Kaede spluttered. "And the guy we ended up with is actually quite good anyway…"

"We?" Ibuki's brows shot to her hairline. "All three of you?"

"Yup!" Chris informed, actually looking proud of the fact. "Hanami here fainted, what, five times this morning?"

"Oh my…" Ibuki blinked, leaning forward in her seat slightly. "She faints all the time though, so it's not really surprising. Even more so in this kind of situation."

Hanami ducked her head in shame.

"You still haven't told me who the three of you are with now," Ibuki reminded them, folding her arms over her sizable chest.

"I-I-It's Ryu Hisanaga, okaa-san," Kaede explained nervously. "The ship's captain."

Ibuki stared at Kaede, her metaphorical jaw having fallen to the ground and punched a hole in it several metres deep.

"It was after we volunteered for a scouting mission outside the ship earlier, while we were… transformed," Hanami explained, trying to keep a straight face and completely failing at it. "We… kind of unlocked a more powerful form, and apparently wore ourselves out. And apparently when we get worn out, we get really, really… h-h-h-h-horny."

"Plus, we kinda change personalities," Chris added. "I became smarter… and a masochist, Hanami was a pervert and Kaede a yandere!"

"Oho…?" Ibuki narrowed her eyes, staring at all three of them ominously.

"I was trying not to mention that, Chris-chan!" Hanami waved her hands in the air frantically.

"But if we didn't then she'd break out the 'Mother's Evil Eye' attack!" Chris informed fearfully. "It's even more powerful than the 'Puppy Dog Eyes' attack!"

"She's already doing it," Kaede whimpered, feeling the air in the room get heavier as a dark aura could be seen around Ibuki…

"I-I-It's not our fault!" Hanami tried to reason with the scary mother. "We never knew anything like this could happen!"

"And we couldn't control ourselves at the time! Everything was in a haze…" Kaede supplied weakly.

"Plus, who better than the Captain of this ship?" Chris inputted. "He's strong, well set in a good job… not to mention big where it counts…"

The air thickened further as Ibuki's dark aura kicked up a notch. "I'll decide that for myself when I see him," she said resolutely, in a tone of finality.

"Y-Yes, okaa-san," Kaede nodded frantically, not willing to argue.

"By the way, have you seen any of the other girls in armour yet?" Hanami asked, attempting to change the subject.

"A few of the others transformed to protect us," Ibuki nodded. "But so far I haven't been able to activate mine. I guess everyone who was… modified has them?"

"Yeah," Kaede confirmed.

"I… see," the Serizawa matriarch sighed. "I wish I could do something other than just sitting around like this…"

"Well, why don't we go out to see the sights together sometime?" Hanami smiled. "This planet actually has rather nice scenery… when you're not under attack by lizardmen."

"Sounds like a plan, Hanami-chan," Ibuki chuckled, patting the silverette on her head softly. "I'll hold you to it."

Barracks - With Ryu

"Hey, Heisenberg!" Ryu shouted out as he walked into the barracks of the ship, one that seemed to have fused the two of both ships into a single one, it was quite obvious as to which side belonged to which faction given the stylistic differences, the Colonist Security Forces having a more relaxed feel to it than their counterparts rigid order, although on the Colonist side, a large ring was set up, the symbol of Felra - a sword overlaying a prayer book - was on prominent display.

This was one of the more ancient traditions that had carried true throughout their History, the Battle Circle of Felra, where two people would settle any dispute through combat, and no matter the outcome, neither could bring the matter up again, it settled a lot of things over the years and still carried weight even in modern society.

"What is it Ryu?" Mark Heisenberg, a balding middle aged man with a little black hair remaining and sharp blue eyes. "Here about that compound you got into a scrap inside of?"

Ryu nodded, studying the powerfully built man who wore a bulky, armored, combat suit. "Yeah, I wanted to set up a team down there and some defenses," he informed. "Maybe work with our friends over there."

Heisenberg snorted, shooting a look across the barracks. "Right, let's see if their 'representative' is willing to talk," he said as the pair made their way across.

"You called?" a man's voice said off to Ryu's right.

Ryu looked over and raised an eyebrow as he saw Kenji Yamato approaching them. "I see, so you were assigned to be the representative were you?" Ryu asked warily.

"Yes, I was… though… do you know where my little sister went?" Kenji asked. "I know she was with you yesterday, but… did something happen to her?"

"She was fine when we seperated, had to take different vehicles back to back due to a certain… situation," Ryu informed. "Have you guys gotten Dr. Wilson's notes on the transformations?"

"Uh… hang on a sec, that wasn't my job at the time to get the notes," Kenji admitted. Turning to face a different soldier, he asked, "Worf, do you know where the doc's notes went?"

A man wearing a red version of the Miltian Empire military uniform, with brown hair and blue eyes, walked over to Kenji and handed him the notes. "Here you go, Lieutenant. Make sure to read them for yourself, alright?"

"I'll give you the important plot notes now," Ryu informed with a sigh as he scratched his scalp. "Basically we found that the Cosmic Rays or whatever it was that triggered the changes resonates with Estrogen, which - like I said - caused the transformation, those who changed had higher levels of Estrogen than others, but there is another effect other than giving them an unknown energy and the ability to manifest the power armor or whatever you want to call it, the energy, as it drops, triggers a newly grown tumor within the brain that then released an aphrodisiac-like substance into their bloodstream the lower that the energy gets…"

"Wait, wait, let me get this straight…" Kenji held up a hand to interrupt Ryu. "You're saying that, should my sister run really low on energy, she'd essentially be super horny?!"

"Yes," Ryu informed plainly as he rubbed his forehead. "She's manifested her armor, but didn't seem to use up her energy, unlike the other three we were with…"

*POW!*

Ryu blinked as he was suddenly looking at Heisenberg who was staring at him in surprise. "Five seconds to explain before I throw you into the Battle Circle," Ryu informed in a deathly whisper.

"If anything were to happen to my little sister against her unaltered will…" Kenji said in monotone, head lowered for a brief period, before snapping it back up with protective hate in his eyes. "I'll kill the bastard who rapes her in that circumstance!" he roared.

Ryu rubbed his jaw for a moment. "Well, I can say for sure I never touched her in that fashion," he informed. "Let me give you a warning though, none of my people would ever even think of raping someone, you don't want to know what we do to them, as for your sister, she seemed perfectly capable of tossing fucking lizard aliens around so I don't think anyone on this ship will give her problems if she was unwilling, sides from what we gathered, it'd hurt them more if we just left them alone."

Kenji blinked, the hate out of his eyes. "Is that right? Well, forgive me for not believing you right away about your people having no desire to rape my sister… I'd rather find someone she would want to be with instead of her being forced upon by anyone." Taking a moment to look over the notes in full, he said, "As a matter of fact, after this mission's done, let's find out who I can trust her with… none of the soldiers from Miltia really want her in the military, but for different reasons than myself."

Ryu shrugged. "If I see her I'll send her your way," he told him. "Anyways, we needed to talk to you about stationing people at the compound, even if this planet isn't going to be our permanent home, unfortunately with the damaged food lines of the Sanctuary we can only get for to about 40% of the ship, so many have to go further than normal to get their food."

Kenji nodded. "Alright, that's understandable… so, now that that's out of the way, how about we get our pick of soldiers ready to go out there?"

Ryu nodded before looking over to the Colonial Security side of the Barracks. "Squads Three, Five and Ten, front and center!" Ryu shouted out causing a group of fifteen people to jump from their down time tasks and assembled before Ryu. "Grab your gear, we're going on a sleepover."

Kenji blinked, before he shook his head. "Albatross, get Special Armor Division Four," he ordered.

With a salute, the redshirt answered, "Sir!" With that, he ran off to find said unit of soldiers, who weren't in the barracks at the time.

Ryu nodded. "Heisenberg here will be going with your man," he informed, pointing to the man who nodded in greeting. "He's in charge of the Security Teams, unfortunately as Captain, people seem to fall apart if I'm not around."

Kenji nodded. "I see… makes sense," he said. "Well, let's get along now."

Ryu nodded. "Have fun Heisenberg, don't throw anyone off a building this time," he told the large man who scowled at him.

"It was one time and he came at me with a knife," the man informed defensively.

"A butter knife," Ryu clarified as he walked away. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to face the worst threat to man."

Kenji blinked. "Which is…?" he asked.

"Mothers of deflowered daughters," Ryu informed before disappearing out of the Barracks.

Back in Ibuki Serizawa's room - 30 minutes later

A knocking at the door interrupted the conversation between the girls. "Oh, I think that's Ryu," Chris informed with a smile.

"I'll get it!" Kaede rushed for the door, almost tripping over in her rush to get out of her seat. She quickly unlocked and opened the door, revealing that it was indeed the captain at the door.

"Ryu-kun!" Hanami blushed.

"Hey, you three doing alright?" Ryu asked in greeted as he stepped in, a slightly tired look on his face.

"We're quite fine, we were just talking to my oka… mum about you," Kaede fumbled slightly to get the English version out instead of the Japanese one she was used to.

"W-Wait, Ryu-kun, what happened to you?" Hanami rushed forward, clapping a hand over the bruise that was forming on his jaw.

"Didn't see a punch coming," he informed. "It's nothing."

"So you're the man my daughter and her friends lost their virginities to?" Ibuki got off her seat and walked forward.

Ryu nodded as the two inspected each other. "Would it help if I said it was done under duress on my part?" he offered.

"The girls have already explained everything to me, and I fully accept and understand their circumstances," Ibuki said formally in a neutral expression. "But while you may be the captain of the ship, I believe I still have the right to check your credentials before I let you take the girls in, as Kaede's mother and Hanami-chan's guardian. I'm not sure about Chris-chan, she hasn't told me about her circumstances yet."

"My mom was left behind," Chris informed looking down slightly, only for Ryu to walk over as he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, smiling down at her warmly.

"Then is it fine if you let me be your guardian?" Ibuki smiled warmly at the goldette. "I can't just leave a friend of my daughter's like this."

"That'd be awesome, thank you," Chris said gratefully, tearing up slightly as she let out a few sniffles. "I guess that makes us all sisters in a way, huh, Kaede, Hanami?"

"In a way," Kaede smiled softly.

"Now, Ryu Hisanaga-san," Ibuki spoke up in an ice cool voice. "My wards appear to have gotten into a scrap outside the ship yesterday. I would like to know what you intend to do to protect them if something else like this happens again."

Ryu folded his arms as he hummed in thought. "Unfortunately, while I wish I could keep them away from harm… and as much as I hate to admit it, we need their power," he informed with a heavy sigh, rubbing his forehead. "The aliens that attacked us… unfortunately until we can get this ship up and running we don't stand much of a chance against them."

"I see," Ibuki nodded icily, but understandingly. "Are you ever going to hurt the girls intentionally?"

"Never," Ryu answered instantly. "Wouldn't even dream of it."

"No hesitation, huh?" Ibuki nodded approvingly. "What will you do if the girls get pregnant from all this?"

Ryu blinked for a moment before responding. "Take care of both them and the child," he informed, raising an eyebrow. "What else is there to do?"

"Very well," Ibuki nodded as she stood back and thought for a moment. "Are you going to add, or let any more girls into your harem?"

Ryu stared blankly at her for a moment before realization dawned on him. "Oh dear god I started a harem…" he muttered as sweat dripped down the back of his head.

Hanami let out a giggle.

Chris smiled widely as she laughed with Hanami.

Ibuki raised an eyebrow at Ryu's apparent shock. "Yes or no, Ryu Hisanaga-san?"

Ryu let out another sigh. "I want to say no," he informed her plainly. "But Ferx seems to have other ideas."

"Who is this Ferx?" Ibuki asked.

"God of Love and Marriage," Ryu informed absently. "Man, outside of Santis and Felra the pantheon is being forgotten."

"Try asking someone from your own religion," the mother with multicolored hair chuckled. "Although I can't say I don't respect a man who's firmly rooted in his piety. You pass, Ryu-san."

Ryu shrugged in response. "Comes with being raised in a monastery," he explained, looking off into the distance. "It was a nice place to be raised though… good, decent people were there."

"Incidentally, you are aware of the age difference between the girls and yourself, right?" Ibuki asked.

"Painfully aware thank you," Ryu informed with a wince. "Trust me, if there had been another option, I would have taken it."

Ibuki hummed to herself, before drawing in close to Ryu. "Well, you're going to need someone to keep them in line. They're not exactly at an age where they actually understand what it means to be married yet."

"Wait... are you saying what I think you are?" Ryu asked warily, inching away from Ibuki.

"Well, I do need to stop moping about my dearly departed husband," the mother sighed. "Coming to this world has made me aware that I need to be the one to protect my family without my former husband around. He would've wanted me to move on anyway, so…" Ibuki smiled, providing little to no warning before launching herself at Ryu and squashing their lips together.

"OKAA-SAN!?" Kaede gaped at her apparently emboldened mother.

"Oh, wow," Chris said in wide eyed awe as she watched the make out session. "We definitely can learn a thing or two."

"Not from my okaa-san, thank you very much!" Kaede groaned, covering her eyes.

Ryu gasped as the two finally separated, both looking a little flushed from the session. "That… was unexpected…" he admitted before whispering to himself. "What is it with me and being caught flat footed?"

"I just need some insurance for when I do go out and burn myself out fighting, if I'm going to get as horny as the girls said," Ibuki winked coyly.

"Oh dear lord I'm going to be the first recorded incident of 'death by fucking' aren't I?" Ryu asked in an exaggerated manner.

"Ah, don't worry, I'm sure we can work something out," the mother waved her hand in the air dismissively, before she winked at the other three girls. "Right, Kaede, Hanami, Chris?"

Hanami took a step back. "Kaede-chan, is it… legal to be competing with your mother for Ryu-kun's affections?"

"I don't think it should…" Kaede slumped. "Sorry…"

"It doesn't matter!" Chris announced with fire in her eyes. "I won't lose Ryu to anyone! Come on Hanami, Kaede, it's time for… shopping."

"Oh no, not without me you don't," Ibuki grinned. "Besides, I'm not going to displace you girls in the harem… Ryu-koi has enough room for us all, right?"

Ryu couldn't stop the groan that came from his mouth as he dropped his head. "There's no way out of this is there, my life… has officially spun out of control," he muttered to himself before speaking up. "But… might as well enjoy it I suppose, so, yes, plenty of room here."

"Well, as the girls said… you are a man among men…" Ibuki chuckled, latching onto Ryu's shoulder. "Besides, being with me won't feel as illegal as when you're with them, right?"

Ryu gave her a blank stare. "There's still the fact that I am essentially, for all intents and purposes, and though everyone else inside this little… harem… made this decision, I am now engaged to three, or was that four, women, three of which… are still underaged," he pointed out in complete deadpan. "Well… not underaged, but… younger than me."

"That's why I'm here, Ryu-koi…" Ibuki grinned. "To keep an eye on them and make sure you don't do anything… illegal to them."

"Please say that doesn't mean we can't have sex again!" Chris shouted desperately, slapping her hands against the table as she stood up.

"That would be hypocritical of me, Chris," Ibuki chuckled. "But we can talk everything over a round of food. I'm quite hungry right now."

"Food is a good idea," Ryu agreed. "I haven't eaten at all today actually."

"Y-Yeah, I'm hungry too…" Hanami nodded pitifully.

"Should we go to one of the restaurants in the Shopping Arcade?" Chris asked curiously.

"Sounds like a plan," Kaede nodded, still not too entirely comfortable with the idea of her mother being in the same harem as her.

"Right, let's get going then," Ryu said as the seated girls stood up and followed him out the door. "Something tells me I'm going to feel very uncomfortable with this coming conversation."

"Whyever would you think that, Ryu-koi?" Ibuki asked with a coy smile, rubbing herself against him.

"How about the fact that you're rubbing up against me while the three behind us are glaring holes into the back of our heads?" Ryu offered sardonically.

Ibuki let out a giggle in response. "What, a mother can't have her fun?" she asked teasingly.

Ryu sighed again. "And that is why this conversation will be uncomfortable."

END CHAPTER!
