Chapter 20: Elbing and Lützow

Lützow had been looking forward to setting up camp. Mostly to kick her feet up, admittedly – traversing through a jungle in heels was a killer.

Alas the two cruisers sent out to scout for a campsite failed to check in at the pre-determined time, and thus Amagi had sent her, Elbing and a suite of Destroyers to go look for their missing comrades. With time of the essence they went back the way they came and searched through all the areas that looked traversed, aided by their escorts that were apparently quite good at tracking submarines, and likewise good at tracking footprints through mud and dirt.

Thus Lützow left them to it. She kept an eye out for monsters and hung back with Elbing, following from the rear – and though a lack of escorts at her rear was discomforting, she knew it was best to let the Destroyers search for Manchester and Glasgow while they still had the chance to locate them. For all they knew the two maids were already dead or worse, but they had no ways of knowing until they found them. The sooner the better, too.

''Hah... why couldn't this have just gone smoothly?'' Lützow sighed to herself, running a hand through her hair.

''Um... 'no plan survives first contact with the enemy'...?'' Elbing shyly posed.

Lützow hummed at that. ''True. Any word from the rearguard looking for that Royal Navy girl? Javelin I think her name was?''

''Nothing yet.'' Elbing shook her head with her usual look of perpetual worry. ''...you don't think something happened to them too, do you?''

''I'm sure they're fine. There's like, what, ten of them over there or something?'' Lützow dismissed. ''They can handle most of the monsters we've come across thus far. If not, they know to retreat. We'll go check up on them though once we've done our search though, just to be sure.''

Elbing nodded at that, a little more assured. Lützow was about to say something else – when one of the Destroyers piped up.

''Over here! Pathway goes through the bushes here!''

Perking up Lützow marched ahead, leaving Elbing to hurriedly follow after the Battlecruiser as they made their way down the path to where several of the unnamed Destroyers had gathered. They chattered between themselves, seemingly going over whether this was the real route they took or just another dead-end – but at Lützow's cough they stopped, nodded, and beckoned the capital ship to follow them.

Obliging Lützow brushed some leaves from her face, holding it out for Elbing before continuing on. Unlike the Destroyers ahead of her they didn't have the benefit of having their riggings summoned – both being draconic, semi-sentient beings that lacked much mobility in the dense jungle. Once deployed they'd be mostly limited to the surrounding area, so they'd need to choose when to deploy them, rather than take them with them. A small price to pay for the added power they carried over traditional riggings, she supposed.

The jungle ahead of them began to grow sparse, and to Lützow's surprise it soon opened up into a narrow valley; high cliffs on either side. A pretty damn good spot for a camp, if she did say so herself... and also begged the question as to why Manchester and Glasgow didn't come back, if they'd found it.

Narrowing her eyes she followed after the Destroyers as the girls all chattered with one another, some scared but others brazen. She hadn't had the time to memorise their names so didn't bother asking now, devoting her attention onto her surroundings instead as they progressed further into the valley.

There was a vague pathway through it, the foliage set aside like a little garden to the left and right of the path, but something was off.

It was when she spied a crater not far ahead that she realised why. There had been a battle here.

Only now there was no evidence of what featured in it. No corpses, no bodies, and no maids.

'Trap.' Lützow's instincts reared their head.

''Huh?'' One of the Destroyers called out, staring curiously down at a shiny stone in the middle of the path. ''What's this?''

Alarm filled Lützow but before she could call out the Destroyer grabbed the shiny stone and lifted it up into the light peeling through the canopy.

Instantly causing said light to amplify several times over.

''AH! My eyes!''

''W-What the hell?!''

Lützow winced, eyes protected from behind her forearm, but even then the piercing light reflected off of the strange stone penetrated her arm regardless, making them water. By her side Elbing stumbled about with a pained cry, covering her eyes but too late. When the light dimmed she lowered her hands but her eyes were unfocused; pupils constricted from the brightness and eyes slightly bloodshot.

''Shit.'' Lützow muttered, nudging Elbing hard. ''You good?''

''I... I can't see, it's all blurry...'' Elbing looked up at her, though seemed to be staring over her shoulder rather than right at her. ''You're a big blur... I... uu, my head hurts...''

Lützow hissed out another curse and looked around at the Destroyers, most of whom were stumbling about in a daze and crying out for help – the lucky few who hadn't been blinded doing their best to comfort them. Small mercies the stone responsible had been thrown off somewhere, no longer able to hurt them. But why would such a stone be there in the first place?

Rustling, overhead.

Then nary a second later a pack of Lesser Apes leapt down from the trees, hooting and hollering as they landed on top of several Destroyers and tackled those they missed – shrieks of fright escaping the girls as they found themselves pinned to the dirt and had their clothes ripped off, their shrieks spiking in pitch as the blinded and disoriented Ship-Girls tried to fend off their attackers.

Lützow scowled, a thought all that was needed to summon her rigging into the material plane – the large twin wyrms spawning behind her, each equipped with a single twin 305mm turret upon their backs. They landed on all ten legs, roaring out a challenge to the Lesser Apes that drew some attention – roars coming in return as several Apes abandoned their prey to rush the mechanical monsters that dared intrude.

A blast of her cannons came in response. Two shells missed, but two shells didn't – erupting across the torso of a Lesser Ape and blowing it apart, the battleship-grade shells penetrating whatever durability the beast possessed. Alas the reload on her guns was never the best, leaving her mostly defenceless as the Lesser Apes charged her, howling. They didn't make it more than halfway before Elbing's own rigging dragged itself past Lützow; roaring defiantly as it opened fire with the multiple cruiser-grade guns on its back, pelting the incoming monsters with shells.

Though it failed to down them it did injure them, and the moment they got within melee range Elbing's rigging suddenly lashed out, snapping a leaping Lesser Ape between its metal jaws and crushing it. Far from finished Elbing's draconic rigging whipped its head about, the chains upon its head like flails that struck another Lesser Ape, sending it onto its back where it soon found itself blasted apart.

A Lesser Ape managed to get past and leapt for Lützow once more, a howl leaving its throat.

Only to find itself blasted into smithereens as both of her rigging halves fired, the burnt remains falling somewhere behind her.

''Heh.'' Lützow smirked confidently. ''Not so scary now are ya, monkey-brains?''

''A-Ah! Lützow, look-!''

Anything else Elbing was going to say went unheard as something hard and muscular struck Lützow in her side, sending her flying across the valley – until her momentum was cut short as she hit the cliff. The air was knocked out of her lungs and the Ironblood woman fell with a gasp, her chest in spasms as she tried and failed to breathe, her lungs refusing to work for several petrifying seconds.

When they did she managed to look up. She'd landed in the foliage so she had to shove it aside but the sight that laid before her left her stunned. There, just where she'd been standing, was a giant ape-like monster similar to the Lesser Apes. Unlike the lesser creatures though the ape standing before her was a behemoth, lacking the beige body hair but instead having a dark blue hair, emphasising the redness of its eyes. Such a trait though was incomparable to the sight of four large, muscled arms protruding from its torso, each ending in a hairless monkey hand; the upper arms more swollen than the lower arms. A Greater Ape.

Which was currently holding Elbing, the crushed neck of her rigging in one of its other hands.

Lützow pushed herself to her feet; hissing as pain flared in her ribs, one of them probably broken. Her rigging was still capable so she had them aim their guns at the nine-foot behemoth, the ensuing eruption across its torso earning a deafening roar in response. A giant foot smashed down on one of her wyrms and crushed it into the dirt, prompting the other to lunge out and bite said ankle – but a fist came down and shattered the rigging's spine, leaving its upper half able to just hold on with teeth and nothing more.

Up until the enraged Greater Ape yanked it off, sustaining further wounds to its ankle. Not that it stopped the beast from lobbing her precious rigging across the valley and into the cliff; burying it under the rubble.

'Well shit.' Lützow looked about. The Destroyers had scattered; some fleeing and others disoriented, but several were still held down by Lesser Apes... and as Lützow watched she realised they weren't being torn to shreds, but raped.

Heavy footfalls made Lützow's head jerk up – and she paled as she found the giant ape in front of her, three hands free and its upper-right one still holding a struggling Elbing, who looked to be in quite a bit of pain with how hard it was gripping her. However Lützow was surprised when, rather than pick her up, the Greater Ape actually threw Elbing to the ground – the curvaceous cruiser yelping in pain as she tumbled, prompting Lützow to hurry over and pull her up, not daring to take her eyes off of the large beast.

She was about to start backing away when she caught movement in the corners of her eyes, and Lützow very nearly cursed as she saw other Lesser Apes congregating around them, forming a circle. They hooted and hollered but none leapt at them, simply forming a threatening barrier between them and freedom. Elbing whimpered in fear at that and held onto Lützow, tucking her face into her neck to spare herself the sight, and Lützow found herself futilely shaking a fist at any monkey that got too close for her liking. Which was all of them.

The Greater Ape hollered then – a loud whoop intermixed with grunts and snarls.

Then in a surge the Lesser Apes closed in. Lützow was helpless to stop them and could only hold onto Elbing – but in no time at all they ripped Elbing away from her, the cruiser screaming in fear as the Ape's nails ripped into her clothes, her pantyhose quickly laden with gashes and her creamy skin exposed. Clawed hands yanked on her clothes too; the buttons on her blouse pinging off as her top came apart, her large breasts bared to the crowd of monsters. Lützow struggled, kicking and yelling, but that didn't stop the Lesser Apes from ripping her skirt off or slashing through the back of her bra, sending it to the grass and exposing her tits.

Yanking her arms out of her blouse Lützow stumbled away but didn't get more than a few feet before she was grabbed again – a cry escaping her as hands yanked her legs out from under her, sending her onto her front. Her shoes and socks were yanked off hard enough to make her wince and she kicked one horny Lesser Ape in the crotch, earning a furious howl – but it was held back, surprisingly, by two of its peers, leaving the others to continue stripping her.

Until she was completely nude. Despite the unnerving oddness of the situation Lützow was relieved when the beige-haired Apes all backed off, returning to their circular formation and allowing her to stumble to her feet – eyes darting right. Relief filled her as she found Elbing unharmed beyond a few scratches on her thighs, though the girl herself looked downright traumatised; crying and all but throwing herself at Lützow, prompting Lützow to hug her comrade back.

At any other time their shared nudity might've been embarrassing, but considering their current predicament, it was the last thing on Lützow's mind.

Doubly so when the Greater Ape finally shifted. Although the beast was only nine or ten feet tall its upper two arms were so swollen that it amplified how intimidating it was; its hands big enough to hold a person aloft, as it had done with Elbing.

It tensed – and then suddenly lunged at them. With Elbing hugging her Lützow couldn't move and just closed her eyes, hoping for a last-minute save – and then wheezed as the oversized fingers curled around her and Elbing, lifting them up. Its grip was forceful, squishing her against her comrade to the point she struggled to breathe, and judging from Elbing's rasping breaths against her neck so too was she.

Mercifully the crushing grip lasted just a few seconds before it loosened. A thumb dug itself between their stomachs and Lützow was suddenly pulled away from Elbing, the Greater Ape's other hand pulling her away and keeping a firm hold on her; all four fingers curled around her waist and preventing her from doing much more than kick her legs and hit its meaty palm with her fists.

'Dammit!' Lützow hissed in her mind, throwing herself about in the hopes of unbalancing the beast.

It barely wobbled, though it did shoot her an annoyed look. One that shifted into a more perverse grin as it stared directly at her chest, bringing a dark blush to Lützow's cheeks as she covered her exposed breasts – was this monkey a pervert on top of everything else?

The prospect was proving increasingly likely as it turned to Elbing, openly ogling her bare chest – the cruiser too distraught to really notice, covering her eyes as she tried and failed to stem the tide of tears. Apparently finding her more appealing it lowered her closer to its torso, and for a brief moment Lützow wasn't sure why... until she saw the large, thick cock protrude from between its legs, previously ignored in the heat of the moment.

''Don't... hey! Don't you dare!'' Lützow barked out, struggling with renewed vigour, trying in vain to kick the shitty monkey in the head. ''Let her go!''

The Greater Ape ignored her, lowering Elbing down until the swollen tip of its dick pressed against her pussy. The sensation jolted Elbing out of her traumatised state, her wide eyes darting down then up, pupils constricting in fear – a stuttering, whimpering note on her tongue-

-when without a shred of mercy the Greater Ape yanked her down onto its large cock.

''HYAAAA!''

Elbing's agonised scream as the inhumanly large cock forced itself inside of her echoed. The surrounding Lesser Apes just hooted and hollered in approval, whilst the Greater Ape holding them bellowed in approval, its grip on Elbing growing tighter as it forcibly pulled her down deeper and deeper onto its cock. It wasn't a smooth slide either; going in entirely dry and shoving inside in short, jerky inches, virginal blood trickling down the beast's long girth.

Lützow could only bellow insults and threats, stabbing her nails into the Greater Ape's fingers in some hope of causing it pain – but it completely ignored her, sparing her not even a glance as it groaning approvingly. All whilst Elbing shrieked her lungs out, head throwing itself this way and that as her pussy was forcibly filled with massive monkey cock; the penetration ceasing presumably when it reached her cervix.

Except it didn't. With a groan of annoyance the Greater Ape pulled her down harder, its inhuman strength trying to yank their loins closer together, to get the last inch or two of its cock within her. Elbing shrieked in protest, her legs jerking and flailing, but nothing could stop the giant beast.

''S-Stop! You're t-tearing me apart!''

The Greater Ape did not even deign her with a response. With a howl of satisfaction it pulled – and Elbing screamed at the top of her lungs as its cock penetrated her cervix, forcing itself into her womb. The shock of it must've been too much for the cruiser as she fainted not two seconds later; body going entirely limp. Not that it stopped the monster from gleefully fucking her; harsh, fleshy smacks echoing through the air as it pounded her deflowered cunt.

Lützow could only watch from her spot on the sidelines. Watch as Elbing's limp body was used like a fleshlight for the Greater Ape, its thick cock disappeared between her friend's folds and into her body, the impacts jolting Elbing's whole frame. The sight was one that burned itself into her memory, staying in her mind even as she forced herself to look away – but there was nothing that could be done to stifle the fleshy impacts of the monster fucking her friend's unconscious body.

How long it continued she wasn't sure – only that at some point the Greater Ape squeezed her tighter, and with a howl it released its seed inside of Elbing. Even if she couldn't see it enter Elbing, she could most certainly see the excess ooze out and drip onto the bush underneath the pair.

Growling in approval the Greater Ape slid Elbing up like she was its personal fuck-toy and threw her to the pack – and like a pack the Lesser Apes swarmed Elbing, hooting gleefully as they began raping her then and there. Her mouth, her pussy and ass, even her tits were used; cocks thrust against her flesh and into her holes as they had their way with her. It was a mercy, then, that she was out of it and unable to feel it.

No mercy was waiting for her, however.

Lützow felt panic rise up her throat as the Greater Ape pulled her into the same position it had done Elbing. She closed her legs, winding her heels together to deny it access, but the two smaller arms simply grabbed her shins and pulled her legs apart. She kept her eyes close so she didn't have to look the beast in the eye but she could intimately feel its cock-head nuzzle up her inner-thigh, grazing further and further up towards her sex, the tip rubbing along her womanhood. It was so close. So thick. So huge.

Then the tip touched her opening – and Lützow screamed as it suddenly slammed up into her. No warning, no preparation, it just suddenly yanked her down and forced its hard cock into her depths. Her loins clamped down around the intruding dick but it was so thick it felt like it was going to break her apart; her insides stretched by the Greater Ape's cock as it hit her cervix on the first thrust. The leftover fluids left by its prior partner aided with that.

''Grkh!'' Lützow gritted her teeth, eyes watering. ''L-Let me go you bast- agh!''

The Greater Ape's cock raked her walls as it pulled out, the tip nearly escaping right before it slammed back into her abused pussy, hilting in her so roughly it knocked the breath out of her. Though it wasn't her first time the beast was so large it felt like it was; waves of pain rocking through Lützow as she was violated. The beast was even more vigorous than it had been with Elbing, howling in delight as it slammed into her cunt, knocking the air from her lungs and sending waves of pain through her with every thrust.

Squealing behind her told her that Elbing had woken up from her fainting – making her cringe as she caught a glimpse of her friend, surrounded and actively being gangbanged by four Lesser Apes, every part of her body used for their own pleasure. She struggled and flailed for help but none was coming, leaving her able to do nothing but choke on monkey cock, her pussy and ass ruined by equally large shafts.

Pain in her groin snapped Lützow's attention back to her own predicament, a cry forced out of her as the Greater Ape held onto her tighter; fingers digging into her midsection as it kept a firm grip on her. It turned out to be her only warning before the beast suddenly sped up, pounding her aching womanhood so hard it was like it was jack-hammering her cervix, its bulbous tip slamming up against her innermost parts-

-and a fresh scream of agony escaped Lützow as it slammed through her cervix. It left her feeling so painfully full that she couldn't breathe, her eyes bulging as liquid agony lanced through her crotch, but she didn't get more than a half-second to appreciate it before the Greater Ape gleefully began fucking her innermost parts; its bulbous tip slamming up into her womb like a jack-hammer, pistoning between her abused petals without pause.

''S-Stop...!'' Lützow could only gasp out. ''I-I'll break...!''

The Greater Ape, much like with Elbing, didn't spare her a care.

It only continued violating her until it finally peaked – and a scream tore itself from Lützow's throat as she was impregnated, a hot torrent of seed flooding her tenderised womb. Unlike Elbing she wasn't spared the mercy of being unconscious, forced to feel its virile cum pour into her sore depths to the point her groin bloated somewhat from how filled she was; a steady overflow oozing out and dripping down onto the bush underneath her hanging form.

Releasing a shuddering breath the Battlecruiser went slack, fully expecting to be thrown to the horde...

...only to shriek as the Greater Ape resumed using her as its personal fleshlight, her cries only encouraging it to continue using her.
