RALLENS PERIL
The ship soared through the stars, like an elegant dancer. Rallens eyes stayed focused as the stars skipped by the ship. Nearly had him, the NPP nearly had that, bastard, Krux. A tip had lead the group to the small world of Carnivie, a forest world, where the Krawl where making their new base.
Besides him, stood his partner, Jeena. Her bright blue eyes, were firm, and resolved, just as his own brown eyes were. Rallen ran his hands through his hair, and tensed. Over a year since the portals had opened, the second time the Krawl had tried to enslave mankind in his own time period. Twice thwarted, and a third time beaten, when theyd kidnapped the pink haired girl next to him, to get information. Then of course, theyd caught one of Kruxs top aides, Maja, whod interrogated Jeena, and tried to get information for her as well. Well Jeena had. Using the same tactics that Maja had used on her. Tickling. Rallens spine shivered as he remembered watching his partner in action.
Were nearing the planet, Jeena said, making him jump out of his skin. She looked down at him and giggled. What, were you planning on bombing their base with the ship? Leaping out of it, and dueling Krux one on one in some kind of heroic fantasy? she asked, teasing.
Rallen blushed. He knew he was brash, always ready for action. Everyone at the Nanairo Planetary Patrol, or NPP, knew that. Well, I did manage to defeat him one on one, if you remember.
You had the help of the Spectrobes, Jeena pointed out, her hands planted neatly on her hips. She was wearing her typical uniform, with a few variations. Her usual light blue dress-skirt ensemble was a bright orange red, same with her scanner gloves. It meant that shed be protected by any Aurora or plant type, Krawl. Her long, dark stockings were gone, leaving her legs bare, and her shoes were much shorter, with her toes peaking just at the edges of them. The planet was a very humid sphere, and theyd need to dress cooler.
Again he blushed, and he turned away. I know that, he mumbled. But I fought him sword to sword, he pointed out. I even knocked the suckers mask off! The thought of the confrontation made him shudder. A lot of people thought Krux was either an alien, or a human from a different world whod some how gained power over the Krux, but when that mask fell off, and his face revealed
Lets just play it by the book, okay? she asked. Commander Grant has the fleet waiting, just on the edge of the area, in case theres an ambush, or Krux tries to escape. And of course, Aldorus and Professor Kate, are with him.
Just in case we need any help scientifically that you cant handle, or theres any kind of ruins that need to be examined, I know I know, he moaned. Honestly, Jeena, Im not a little boy! The pink haired girl rolled her eyes, and giggled, poking him just under his arms. Rallen squeaked, and nearly dropped the controls of the ship. Hey!
Sometimes you just act like it, she teased, and than went to sit down by her own console.
Carnivie was just as wild as they had thought. Two hours of fighting Aurora Krawl, and exploring the world, and they were no better off than when theyd started. Normally Jeena would have stayed with the ship, but they both agreed it was better for her to make her way with Rallen, in case there was a trap or some kind of danger.
These Krawl were massively powerful and from time to time, Rallen would have to rely on Tindera, the ultimate Spectrobe of Corona, or fire. But the land was rich. There were so many minerals, gems, and fossils, that they wouldnt have to worry about going without Gura for a long time. Rallen decided hed have to be careful of letting that sly merchant and business man, from the planet of Nessa, Cyrus know about this planet. If not, it wouldnt stay wild for long!
Maybe this was a wild goose chase, the young man said, sitting on a rock. Sure, theres Krawl here, but no signs of any kind of civilization at all!
I hate to admit it, but maybe your right, Jeena said with a sigh. If we keep this up, were going to be killed. I think we should contact the commander, and let him know.
Rallen nodded, and tapped his communicator, frowning as static hissed at him. Thats odd, it was working a moment ago. The brown haired hero raised his arm, to bring out his child Spectrobe partner, but the scared little critter stayed in the Geo. Or at the very least, couldnt come out to play. Rallens frown grew wider. That had only happened if there was a Krawl around.
It was then that they noticed that the wild life had grown suspiciously silent. Something is definitely not right, Rallen said. He stood up to go, his blade extending from its mechanical seethe. Were going now!
Gas poured out from the trees and the ground. A strong, thickly smelling, white gas. The two heroes dashed forward, heading for the ship. But the gas floated everywhere. Within minutes, the two youngsters were flat on their backs, unconscious.
Wakey, wakey, a voice called out to Rallen in his dreamless sleep. Maja.
Rallen opened his eyes, to see he was strapped to a wall of some kind of dungeon. He tried to move, but the iron shackles held him tight. Wheres Jeena? he growled. And where are we? I didnt pick up any buildings!
Thats because the former tenants of this pitiful planet took their last stand in the core of their world. They thought they could keep away from those who preyed on darkness in darkness! Maja cackled, gently putting her hand over her mouth. And as for your widdle friend, well lets just say she and I caught up on old times! Her eyes glistened and twisted into skull like frames, as they did when she was bitter, or dangerous. Then turned back into their more human forms. We had hours of laughs!
You witch! Rallen howled, pulling on the chains. Where is she now?
Now, now, thats not a nice thing to say, to an old friend, Maja said, waving her finger in front of Rallens face. She smiled, and quickly used her tentacles to slip his jacket and shirt off of him, undoing his shoes as she worked.
What are you planning, Maja? His heart skipped a beat. He knew. Im not going to tell you anything, you know. He looked to his wrist, but his Geo was gone. No calling for help that way.
Not an interrogation, if it was, Id still be with poor, little Jeena, the High Krawl laughed. She smirked. Just going to show people the foolishness against going against the Krawl. Her tentacles waved in the air and shot forward at him, wrapping around his waist in a great big bear hug, without the pressure of the actual hug.
Rallen felt his eyes widen as his skin began to tingle. His throat began to grow dry, and his pulse raced. Stop thahahat, he snapped.
Why, dont like it? she giggled. The tentacles strolled up and down the sides of his waist, alternating the pressure from soft to harder. Maja smiled, strolling up to the boy, who was doing his best to control himself, and held his chin in her hands, making him look her in her eyes. Come on, cutie, you know you want to laugh. Itll help with the tension.
Get bent, Maja, he hissed. His fingers flexed, as if trying to form claws. He tried to pull away from the young, light purple skinned villainess, but her strength was incredible. And she was using her free hand to sketch around his left ear. Noooho, he said, his strength slipping.
Oh, but yes, she laughed, her finger drawing along his lobe, and went across his face, until she twirled it near the bottom of his nose. His eyes grew wider still, and he fought to get away, his fingers flexing madly now. You really should have taken my offer, and joined us, little Spectrobe master. Now youll serve as the proper example. She laughed her annoying laugh, and glared at him in all seriousness. I might just end up tickling your little mind out! And then keep you as a pet! Again she laughed.
And then the tentacles went for his ribs, and hit them hard. Rallen doubled over, as if punched in the gut, and wretched, his eyes shut tight as he laughed. OH GAWD STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP, PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE! His face was bright red, and tears were starting to form.
Maja clicked her tongue, shaking her head. Already broke, huh? Thats no fun, Jeena was far stronger! She bent forward and tickly nibbled on his neck, darting away as he tried to head butt her. Bad, boy! she laughed. Lets try this tummy, while my tentacles have their fun!
LEHEHEAVE MY STOHOHOHOMACH ALONE, AHAHA! Rallen kicked his legs with what strength he had, but it wasnt helping. It left him tired, and made the sensation all the worse. And of course, Maja only laughed, and blew raspberries on his stomach for five minutes, digging her fingers all over it for another five.
Such a ticklish, little boy! she cackled. Oh, you are so much fun! And to think, weve got hours, if not days and weeks for this! She raspberried his stomach a few more times, until he slipped into silent laughter, and then slipped him a glass of water, stroking his throat to make him swallow.
What was that? he asked, his strength returned, his throat moist, and his pulse down to a regular beat. It was as if all of the sudden, hed gone back in time. As if hed just woke up to see her standing there.
New invention by Krux, she smiled. Instantly brings strength and stamina back to the person. Her eyes twinkled with dark mischief. Were using it for our more human, think more High Krawl, candidates, so they can fight longer in the field. She giggled, swirling the liquid. I like using it for our captives, keeping them from passing out.
You arent going to break me, he hissed.
Already did, she giggled.
I wont be a poster boy for the galaxy, telling them to just let you wreck their lives! Rallen thrust forward, his hands trying to grip Maja, but slunk back as she cruelly laughed, and dug her fingers deep into his ribs, as her tentacles attacked his knees now. Immediately, the young man threw his head back and howled. DAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAMN IT STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHOP!
No, and no bad words now, its no fun with profanity, she laughed, tickling his upper ribs slowly, kneading his lower ribs like hard bread rolls. Her eyes sparkled and in an instant, she pressed her mouth against his ribs, tickling him with nibbles up and down his
ribcage, growling playfully like a dog. Ohh, so yummy, she laughed, taking a moment to enjoy his laughter.
PLEHEHEHEHEASE, MAJAHAHAHAHA, NO MORE, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THE NPPEHEHEHEHE WILL STAHAHAHAHAOP YOHOHOHOHHOOU! Rallens mind was racing with fire, and confusion. Where was Jeena? Was she going through this at this moment too? And were was the commander? Why didnt he send forces to the planet to look for his missing agents, once communications was cut! THIHIHIS WAS A SET UP! KRUHUHUHUK WAS NEVER HERE WAS HEHEHEHEHEHEHE?
Tell me you love it, Maja demanded, her fingers working his sides over like a potter works a clay jar. Oh, and sure he was, six weeks ago. But I knew you couldnt wait to find him and have a second round.
I HATE IT, AHAHAHAHAHAHA, STOP, AHAHAHAHAH, ILL GEHEHEHEHET YOU FOR THIHIHIHIHIS! Her tentacles were digging into his pits now, as Maja swirled her finger in his navel. I SAID STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP!
And I said, tell me you love it, little NPP boy, Maja laughed. Come on, just three little words. I love. it! Ask me not to stop, and I might give you a break!
Youll give him a break now, and let him go, you witch, came a female voice behind them. Rallen slowly stopped laughing, as the tickling slowed down, and both looked to the direction of the voice. Jeena stood, barefoot and wild looking, holding her scanner on her wrist.
How did you, Maja began. She looped to the ground with insane laughter, as the pink haired girl turned the scanner on, setting the sensation for tickling, as she had done to the High Krawl during her interrogation.
The mindless patrols you had guard me shouldnt have been so mindless, Jeena said with a smirk. She held the scanner at the High Krawl, and looked at her partner. You okay?
Just let me go, Rallen panted. Well contact the commander, and then we can get out of here.
She didnt hurt you? she asked, seriously worried.
No, not real pain, Rallen said. Tickled me for around an hour or so, but nothing major. He watched Jeena approach Maja, placing a watch like device around her wrist, and then look back at him. Are you alright?
Fine, and that miniature scanner I cooked up in my cell will definitely make sure she cant do anything too wrong, or even escape. His partner smiled at him and gave him a playful hug. Oh, and already contacted the commander. They had been told by Krux in a rouse that wed been taken off planet. They gave chase, only to find out it was a trick. So they should be here in about half a day.
Good, now you going to let me go? Rallen gasped, gaining his air.
Jeena nodded, giving him a sip of water, to quench his throat. Sure, of course I will, she giggled.
Wait a moment, whats going on? Rallens eyes grew wide. Who are you, and where is, Jeena held up her hand.
Its me, I promise you, she laughed. She looked at Maja and narrowed her eyes, turning off her main scanner. Then she tapped her equipment, and brought up a communications with the fleet. Commander Grant assured him, that everything she had said was the truth.
So how did you know about the water, and why give it to me? Rallen asked afterwards. And when do you plan on letting me go? He looked at Jeena to a confused and slightly scowling Maja.
After we, girls, have had our joint fun, Jeena teased. Maja is in no real position to threaten you, or me, but she was having so much fun, I see that now, and she didnt get to finish her playtime with you!
What? No, wait, Jeena you cant mean it! The Krawl, they did something to you! This is a trick after all! He began panicking, his eyes bulging from his face.
Nuh-uh, Jeena shook her head. But what she said when she escaped us all those months ago, well, that got me to thinking, and then watching you two have so much fun, I wanted to have a go too!
Well, despite it all, I have taught you something! Maja laughed. The villainess rose to her feet, and slowly approached Rallen. Wont let this gift horse get away. And in the meantime, I can use some chaos to get the edge of these two, or at least get away.
Jeena giggled with a high pitched laugh and advanced on the fearful young man too. And in the blink of an eye, they attacked in unison. Jeena slid her fingers up and down over his sides, as Maja renewed her attack on his stomach.
OH GOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOD, I CAHAHAHAHAHNT STAHAHAHAHAHAND IT, STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHOP! he laughed, thrashing as fast as he could.
We will soon, Jeena promised.
But not too soon, Maja laughed. They both attacked his sides, their fingers rising and falling all over teasing his skin, causing goosebumps to form. Rallen turned red faced in no time. And the worse was yet to come.
Pedicure time! Jeena sang. She slunk down, and her fingers dug and prodded Rallens left sole and toes, wrapping her arm around his ankle to keep him from pulling away.
Not a bad idea, little girl, Maja laughed. She wanted to torture his feet more with extreme fierce tickling, but the device on her wrist prevented it. Disappointed, she contented herself with her sharp claws slowly dragging over his right foot.
NOHOHOHOHO NOHAHAHAHAHOT THE FEHEHEHEHEHEET! I CANT TAHAHAHAKE IT, ! Rallen gasped for air, his eyes rolling to the back of his head. And it grew worse still as both females worked to get between his toes, giggling as he struggled to keep them out.
The more you fight, the worse its gonna tickle, Jeena teased in singsong. Oh, finally popped it in!
He laughs like a girl! Maja laughed.
For four hours, giving him a break to drink, and eat, they tickled his feet. Then Jeena untied him, and left him to slip into slumber, as she took Maja to her cell. Rallen felt his body loose up as sleep took him, and he was happy that he didnt dream that night. The last thing he needed was to go through that peril in his dreams as he had done in real life. When at last they were rescued, with their prisoner in cuffs and behind bars, Rallen promised there might be a day for some revenge of his own!
Ziggys notes: Yes I know, Out of Character for Jeena to simply let Maja free to double team Rallen like that. But this technically isnt a serious story, more silly slap stick type stuff. So no worries.
