A/N: Ashigara and Maya are terribly underrated characters, I really need to write more stories of these two.

That aside, do enjoy~

Chapter 11: Ashigara and Maya

It was a long, silent walk down towards the coast.

Maya didn't speak and Ashigara didn't try to break the quiet, too on-edge to really. The forest around them was vast and the noise carried far and wide, and as a result every snapped twig, broken branch or distant shellfire echoed, making Ashigara flinch and turn to face it. She tried to quell the restless anxiety beneath her skin but knew that it was better to be safe than sorry.

Especially with what had happened only a short while ago, just before Impero had sent them off looking for their missing comrades. One of the Destroyers near the back of the fleet had been grabbed by a lizard-like monster and disarmed, but rather than have her throat ripped out or her organs feasted upon, the monster ripped her clothes off and raped her. Right then and there, even though her comrades were only a dozen or so feet away and a battle was raging. Or perhaps it was because of that battle it chose that moment to defile her, seeding the poor Destroyer and forcing the fleet to stop so that some of them could take her back to the ocean fleet.

The attack had been a revelation for them. How the monsters attacked them, yes, but also seemed intent on going for their riggings first and foremost – to disarm them, leaving them vulnerable. It was an almost instinctive aim, as if they were drawn to it, but none present could confirm if that was true or if the creatures had just identified their riggings as the biggest threat. Was it self-preservation guiding the monsters, or a more malicious desire to subdue them first, then claim them as mates second?

The thought sent a shudder through Ashigara. 'Ugh... at least with Maya here, that won't happen...'

She stopped next to a tree she was just passing... and knocked on it a couple times. 'Knock on wood, as they say...'

Shaking her head to dispel the thought Ashigara hurried after the taller Heavy Cruiser. ''S-So, um, see anything?''

''No.'' Maya's response was curt, but not out of disdain, just concentration. ''The tracks though seem to be getting older and- ah.''

Maya stopped suddenly, prompting Ashigara to peek around her... and to her bafflement she saw a small clearing just ahead of her. And within that clearing was a dead, disembowelled Gremlin.

''Gross.'' Ashigara grimaced, keeping one hand on her sheathed sword as she approached. ''I'm guessing Hanazuki and Miyuki didn't do this.''

''Clearly.'' Maya nodded, suspicious. ''Monsters turning on monsters. But why leave it half-eaten? Perhaps Hanazuki and Miyuki stumbled upon them, or-''

She cut herself off, however. Ashigara blinked and looked over at her taller companion, opening her mouth – when Maya raised a hand, telling her to be silent. A spike of unease shot through her then and Ashigara strained her hearing, her wolf ears twitching atop her head as she tried to pry the noise apart – muting littler sounds like distant shellfire and roars, and focusing more on the soft sounds. The crunching of twigs, the rustling of bushes in the winds.

The wet breaths of beasts lurking in the undergrowth.

''Front!'' Maya barked, raising her cannons.

Not a second later a trio of beasts burst through the foliage; Beastmen, each of the humanoid animals bearing a different motif, a different head. They didn't get more than a foot from the foliage before Maya unloaded a full salvo into them, blasting out a gout of acrid smoke in all directions – but the white-haired warrior was already moving, dashing forth and slashing out horizontally with her katana.

Her blade cut cleanly through the smoke and dispersed it, revealing one dead Beastman and two injured ones, the high-calibre shells dealing significant damage to their fur-covered bodies. The leftmost one with a jaguar head didn't get a chance to react before Maya slashed it across the neck, nearly beheading it and sending it to the ground with a strangled yelp, whilst the rightmost one was able to dodge back. It only bought it a second, however, before Maya closed the distance and stabbed it through the gut, a vertical tug nearly bisecting the creature.

'So cool...' Ashigara stared in awe.

Maya glanced back at her then, eyes sharp. ''Five o'clock!''

Training kicked in and Ashigara reacted almost on instinct, drawing her blade and turning left – just in time to block a grab from a larger cheetah-like Beastman. It yowled as it retracted its hand, her blade having cut into its palm, but without missing a beat Ashigara opened fire and blasted it to smithereens, nearly all of her shells finding their mark.

However it proved just to be the beginning. More Beastmen charged into the clearing from the surrounding areas, snarling and they ran on all fours or on their hind legs. Ashigara backed up, reloading her guns just in time to blast one to hell and slashed across the chest of another – but then one of them grabbed her by the front of her shirt. A harsh pull sent her stumbling forth and her shirt came apart easily, her face growing red as she was left with only ragged blue tatters to cover her collarbone, her bra still in place but leaving much more skin on display than she'd prefer.

''Focus!'' She heard Maya bark, a quick glance over her shoulders revealing her comrade was holding her own despite being vastly outnumbered.

The sight hardened her resolve and Ashigara focused on her opponents, releasing a valiant war-cry as she lunged at a lion Beastman, but it back-stepped and evaded her downwards slash. She tried to back up but it surprisingly grabbed her sword by the hilt, its meaty hand over hers – before it grabbed her by the neck with its other hand. Its fingers were thick and barely had gaps between them, closer to dexterous paws than a true hand, and the next thing she knew she was yanked off of her feet and thrown down onto the dirt.

''Mn-!'' Ashigara grunted and quickly tried to get up – only for the lion Beastman to grab her rigging not by the turrets, but by the rearmost section and pulled.

Metal groaned, squeaked, and before she could get back to her feet the shockingly-strong monster ripped her rigging right off of her. Ashigara scrambled to get out from under it, getting on her side – but then a meaty hand grabbed her shin and forced her onto her back. Panic leapt up her throat and she stared up at the lion over her, the Beastman sneering almost and chilling her blood with it, but with some smidgen of determination she twisted her katana around, pointed it up-

-and it was summarily slapped from her hands; the lion Beastman's claws cutting her hands in the process. Ashigara cried out in pain and tried to get away but it forced itself on top of her, its mane tickling her face as her head becoming light as she felt its claws rake down her groin – ripping apart both her skirt and her panties, leaving nothing to hide her smooth, puffy lips from the beast. From her spot under it she could see the thick red cock protruding from its fur, the tip rubbing against her nether lips even as she struggled.

''M-May- AGH!''

Her plea devolved into a scream of pain as the Beastman suddenly penetrated her, claiming her as its mate. It felt thick but tapered to a point, pushing itself between her virginal walls and swiftly hilting against her cervix, stuffing her pussy to the brim on the first thrust. The pain hit a second later, a fresh wave of agony spasming through her groin as she felt the beast's thick member throb within her, her virginal blood clinging to its shaft as it started to pull out.

And then slammed right back in. Ashigara shrieked, throwing her head back, but the Beastman just kept slamming itself forth – slow, forceful motions that felt like a punch up into her stomach, her loins on fire as the monster roughly sheathed itself within her. She tried to squirm and struggle but the slightest movement just made the pain worse, leaving her able to only lay there and hope for it to be over, for Maya to come to her rescue.

No such help was coming, however.

A low growl escaped the lion Beastman, the sound rumbling up from the back of its throat and leaving Ashigara quivering, her breathing harsh. Her breathing halted altogether as the monster put a single claw on her breastbone; dragging it down slowly until it cut through the front of her bra, revealing her medium-sized boobs to the beast, jiggling faintly as it rutted into her. Ashigara didn't even try to stop it; she just laid there and stayed as still as she could, whimpering as she was bred by the monster.

'Please just make it stop, p-please, someone...!' Ashigara cried out in her mind, a jolt shocking through her body as something tickled her walls. 'W-Wait, what's that...?!'

She got her answer as countless spines rose up from the Beastman's cock; thin as a fibre but scratching at her inner walls as it moved. Vaguely she remembered that cats had spines on their dicks to trigger ovulation in their mates – and with that thought came the realisation that it was trying to do the same to her. Whether it was working or not she didn't know. All she knew was that having them scratch her insides hurt.

''A-Ah! Nn- ah! S-Sto- hya!''

The Beastman slammed into her rougher. Snarling in her face it kept her pinned down with a paw to her chest, making it hard to breath as the monster slammed between her petals again and again, shoving itself up against her cervix and scratching the insides of her vagina with its spines, sending jolts running through her loins. Pain, a smidgen of unwanted pleasure, nauseating sensation – all of it swirled together and left Ashigara clutching onto the grass with tears in her eyes, enduring the monster's relentless pounding, its cock swelling within her abused cunt-

Until with a sudden, deafening roar the lion Beastman orgasmed inside of her. Thick, virile gushes of semen poured into her defenceless womb, rope after rope of it pouring into her vulnerable womb. She convulsed at the feeling, the load so thick and plentiful she could feel the sticky warmth be forced into her – her attempts at escaping futile, her fate as its mate sealed.

''A-Ahh, no...''

The Beastman just hissed in low, primal delight.

X-x-X

Maya was used to be outnumbered.

Be it by enemy planes she had to duck and dodge, Destroyers that tried to overwhelm her with sheer numbers of even enemy capital ships that could quite likely knock her out with one well-placed shot – she was no stranger to being the little guy that had to punch up.

However unlike fighting at sea, against these Beastmen she didn't have the luxury of distance and manoeuvrability. Quite the opposite. The clearing was the only real safe area, providing the lines-of-sight that the forest otherwise obstructed, and was relatively flat in contrast to the bumpy and root-riddled ground beyond it. Thus, she was practically forced to fight within the clearing, lest she put herself at a disadvantage.

That also meant fighting the onslaught of Beastmen with only a dozen or so feet to move about. Tricky, to put it mildly.

Grimacing Maya side-stepped a swipe and redirected a blow to her right. Her rigging was already in parts; still functional but now lacking the frontmost two turrets on her right-half, leaving her with just the other three. She used them as best she could, using them more as surprise attacks rather than her main method of defence – relying on her extensive swordsmanship instead. Which, somewhat ironically, worked better than her guns actually did.

Because the monsters were predictable. It was tricky to see at first but for a swordswoman like her, who relied on reading her enemies' movement and the tells their bodies betrayed, it was child's play. A tensing of muscle meant a right hook, a twist of the heel preluded a grab, a tensing of the stomach foretold of a lunge – each and every tell was read and countered, enabling her to slaughter over a dozen Beastmen with limited damage to herself, to the point she could tell the herd was thinning; that the light at the end of the tunnel was near.

But alas, she could only read what was in front of her.

And when Ashigara fell, her flanks were exposed.

Something Maya realised acutely as claws raked down her back. The pain was sharp but she held back her gasp. Gritting her teeth as she spun and slashed, cutting the Beastman behind her in two near enough – its dying howl faint as it collapsed/. However its attack had severed the segment of her rigging behind her, arguably its most vital point, and caused it to fall off of her body in two halves, now useless until she could get repairs done.

''Tch. Bastards!'' Maya spat out, sheathing her sword.

The Beastman in front of her – a wolverine? – saw this as a weakness and lunged. A mistake. With a quick iaido draw she beheaded the Beastman, but to her surprise another Beastman had been hiding behind the first. Pushing its beheaded comrade aside it closed the distance faster than she could counter and grabbed her wrists, shoving her to the ground. A kick between its legs made it snarl but it did succeed in loosening its grip, enough that she could twist her katana around and thrust up, stabbing it through the heart.

Kicking the creature off of her Maya rolled over and got one knee under herself, reaching out for her sword. Just as her fingers grazed the handle the corpse was kicked out of reach, however; her eyes darting back to find a tiger Beastman behind her – a Beastman that soon pressed its paw down on her head, forcing her down cheek-first into the dirt. Maya gritted her teeth and struggled, trying to twist this way and that, but the monster's hold was unyielding.

''Get off...!'' Maya snarled up at the monster, trying to kick a leg out without being forced flat on the grass.

The Beastman just snarled back; voice deep and befitting of a tiger. The humanoid beast slashed at her ass, paw hitting her cheek with enough force to bruise and its claws cutting her underwear, but Maya kept on struggling – her low, guttural curses and threats going unheeded as the monster forced itself behind her, her nether lips grazed by the tip of its dick-

-and a sharp shout was forced out of Maya as it slammed inside of her. It felt thick, painfully so; her insides stretched apart by its considerable girth and the air punched from her lungs. She gripped at the grass and pulled it out from the dirt, trying to ground herself; her eyes watering as the Beastman sheathed itself balls-deep in her. It stayed there for just a second though before yanking itself back out to her entrance, nearly slipping out even, only to bury its cock right back up to her cervix a split-second later.

''Fuck!'' Maya barked out a curse, forehead pressing into the dirt as the monster eagerly clapped her ass – its furry body colliding with her ass cheeks repeatedly. ''B-Bast- ghk-!''

The Beastman didn't even deign to reply to her curses, just grunting and snarling in primal delight as it mated with her – shoving its swollen cock deep inside of her. Though she wasn't a virgin having something so big inside of her made her feel like she was; every thrust sending jolts of pain through her loins and forcing tight, strained hisses out of Maya; the occasional curse fucked from her lips too when it rammed its girth into her so suddenly.

Then she felt something tingle within her; countless small barbs arising from its shaft, and a fresh slew of curses spilled from the cruiser's lips as its penis swelled with spines jutting out, raking her vaginal walls with every rough thrust. They hurt, like a hundred tiny scratches with every thrust, a couple even grazing her nether lips when it pulled back before it forced itself back into her defiled vagina, her ass-up position only enabling it to reach her deepest parts easier, rutting her like the beast it was.

And whether it was due to the beast's penile spines or her animalistic nature, but a small part of her enjoyed it.

The thought disgusted her. Revolted her. Made her want to throw up in her own mouth – but there was no denying the smidgen of satisfaction that appealed to her more bestial half, her animal ears twitching atop her head as she was rutted. Maya bit down on her tongue hard enough to draw blood, the pain grounding her, but she couldn't do anything to fight back – able to just lay there and be fucked like a bitch in heat, her insides squeezing the spiny cock plunging deep inside of her. The more she tightened up the more the spines dug and scraped across the insides of her vagina, the pain twisting into pleasure despite her frothing rage, her murderous will.

Her ass stung as the tiger Beastman's groin smacked against it, its fur dampening the sound somewhat but fleshy smacks still occasionally echoing out – the shameful sound burning itself into her mind. Maya hissed through her teeth and just blocked it out as best she could, saving her strength and waiting for an opportunity, ignoring how much the monster's cock swelled up inside of her abused pussy-

-and then with a deep, bestial snarl the Beastman slammed inside and came. She flinched as gushes of semen poured inside of her, its baby-batter infiltrating her womb and no doubt impregnating her, but she didn't struggle. She just stayed still and let it fill her up, trying not to squirm as its molten warmth filled every crevice of her insides, some of it even overflowing and dribbling down her groin in a slow, sticky trail.

Then after a long moment the Beastman began to pull out, she tensed-

When heavy footfalls suddenly became coherent to her.

They were slow but close; not quite thundering but no doubt heavy. Maya tensed in alarm and even more worryingly the Beastman did too... before it pulled out completely and backed off. It didn't run away, but just backed off. As if making way for a greater predator.

Sitting up as best she could Maya looked over her shoulder, her blood running cold as another Beastman stomped through the undergrowth. It was easily ten feet high, perhaps even as high as twelve, with a ripped musculature that put human bodybuilders to shame. Rather than bulging muscle though it possessed a more dense bulk; grey fur covering all aspects of its body with it denser around its wrists, shins and collar – leaving a face of a wolf atop its head. She almost mistook it for a Werewolf for a second but it was too large and its wolfish face was vaguely humanoid, in contrast to Werewolves that possessed a fully wolven head. Its claws were just as sharp as them though and it walked on its hind legs with a slow, methodical gait, looking down upon the other Beastmen that backed away submissively from their king.

From their Alpha.

The Alpha Beastman sniffed at the air before looking down at her. Its golden eyes kept her pinned, and despite some part of her mind screaming at her to rush and grab her sword, she couldn't move. Like its gaze held a magical quality she was just pinned in place. Was it fear? Terror? Or perhaps... primal instinct, telling her not to resist such a superior predator.

Maya gritted her teeth. 'Come on, now is your chance, move! Move!'

But her body wouldn't listen to her. All she could do was futilely shift backwards on her ass, trying to make some distance. Movement behind her made her glance and she found Ashigara laid on her back, cum spilling from her deflowered pussy and with scratches marring her pale skin, but still conscious – the Beastman that had been defiling her now also cowed back behind a tree, head low in submission.

Suddenly a pair of large hands grabbed her sides and Maya felt herself be picked up, lifted easily three feet off of the floor as she was carried... before she was dropped on top of Ashigara. The two cruisers grunted in surprise and looked at one another; terror in Ashigara's tearful eyes and alarm in Maya's own gold ones. An alarm that only grew as the giant Alpha Beastman knelt down behind them, tempting Maya to look over her shoulder.

To where two long, huge cocks protruded from its groin, poised to penetrate them both.

''...don't.'' Maya rasped out, finding some semblance of rebellion as she gritted the words out. ''Don't you fucking dare.''

The Alpha Beastman tilted its head, as if considering her request.

Then without warning she felt its tip touch her folds – and she screamed as it shoved itself inside of her. It was huge. Compared to the last Beastman it was massive, even; her pussy stretched open by its thick cock as it penetrated right up to her cervix on the very first thrust. Under her Ashigara shrieked too as the other cock forced itself into her abused vagina, both of them filled up by the massive cocks but not completely; no, there was still a couple more inches left.

A fact both learned as the Alpha Beastman began to buck its hips. Banging its tips against their cervix's, pressing and forcing. Maya clutched onto the grass and gritted her teeth, eyes wide as she endured the sharp, thunderous thrusts, a deep ache in her loins as the massive cock simultaneously stretched her out yet kept trying to go deeper.

'It won't fit, it won't fit, it won't-!'

Fresh pain, jagged and sharp, jolted through her groin as the massive cock penetrated her cervix at last – shaft slamming up into her womb. Maya let out a guttural scream and arched her back, mind briefly going white as she was penetrated so deeply – the sound joined by Ashigara's shrill shriek as she felt the other cock breach through her cervix, the throbbing tip stuffing her womb and leaving her writhing in pain under her comrade.

''S-STOP IT!'' Ashigara shrieked senselessly.

The Alpha Beastman didn't. With a low growl the monster kept a firm grip on Maya's hips, jerking its own forwards and slamming itself up into her womb, knocking the air out of her every time. Her prized poise was shattered each time its girth forced itself past her cervix and ruined her over and over again, stars exploding behind her eyes as she was wrecked by a cock so big it felt like she'd be split in two if this went on for any longer.

Ashigara didn't fare any better. Shrieking in agony the wolf-eared cruiser convulsed and thrashed in some desperate bit to escape, but trapped under Maya and with the monster's huge cock inside of her she could do nothing but lay there and take it – her insides churned up by the Alpha's swollen length. More than that, however, she felt a thick ring of flesh bump against her lower lips, the sensation almost muted by the dick currently making a mess of her insides.

When suddenly that ring of flesh pushed inside of her. The beast's knot.

Ashigara's mind went white as it entered her; plugging her entrance and stretching her insides with its thick ring of flesh. It was too big. It filled her up and tugged on her insides as the Alpha Beastman moved in-and-out of her pussy, its knot too swollen to be taken out now and its shaft swelling within her, further stretching her cervix out as the tip battered her womb. Above her Maya bellowed in pain, head bowing only to jerk back a second later; spasms jumping through her muscles as the massive knot was forced inside of her, ruining her pussy with every pounding thrust.

Yet still the Alpha Beastman kept rutting them like it was trying to fit even more of its dicks inside; to penetrate even their wombs just so it could sheathe itself entirely within them. As a result every buck of its hips battered their wombs with its cocks, jerking Maya forwards but with the knot inside of her she couldn't escape – kept pinned down on top of Ashigara as they were railed relentlessly, the cocks within them swelling in size.

And then with a deafening howl, the Alpha slammed inside of them as deep as it could do – unleashing a torrent of thick, virile seed that flooded their wombs and overflowed just as quickly, but with its knots sealing them there was nowhere for the cum to go, bloating their wombs with the sheer amount of thick white fluid, assuring that they would both carry a full litter of bestial pups.

Ashigara couldn't take it; knocked out cold by the shock of it all and leaving Maya laid atop her, panting and gasping for air, her expression contorted into a pained grimace.

''D-Damn... it...''

Alas the breeding was far from done, and with a low, primal growl the Alpha Beastman picked both of them up in its large paws; sandwiching them together as it continued using them to its heart's content.

Whether they'd end up surviving or not depended on if they could hold all of its seed, or burst like a popped balloon.

[END]

A/N: Thus, another two fall, but with a bit more of a fight. Incorporating some suggestions from others in the coming chapters, too, so hopefully that'll spice things up a tad.

See you next time in Chapter 12: Jade and Otto von Alvensleben~
