Chapter 6: Headhunters

On an unknown planet, Ren is heading for a location to meet with one of his Pathfinder comrades. "Seems like the crew of the Astral Express managed to find the Omni Compass," Ren said hopping over rooftops to avoid detection.

"Yes but we have to continue forward and push our plans ahead," Alice said.

"It's still under control," an unknown woman said.

"Gwen, you in position?" Ren asked as

"Yes, I have your back. The drones are detecting someone inside the warehouse, it's one of the Stellation Hunters. It's a tall woman," Gwen said as Ren fixed up his sunglasses.

"It's Kafka, that smug woman needs to be put in her place," Ren said.

"Kicking the shit out of her will send a strong message to the Hunters," Gwen said as he gets on top of the warehouse to enter inside. He sees a few guards easily overpower them and snap their necks to shove them onto the floor.

"The pathfinder should be here," Ren said as he entered into a huge area with crates and various items.

He finds his comrade to see her throat was slit. "So, you did this?" Ren asked as Kafka appeared before him with her usual smug expression.

"We hear through the grapevine about new players in town. I wanted a bit of information but for some reason, she didn't give me what I wanted," Kafka said.

"Yeah, your little trick isn't going to work. You can't talk your way out of this one," Ren said as he was angry one of his members was dead but he kept focused on this dangerous woman.

"Now, how about you let me leave," Kafka said using her hypnotic voice with Ren showing a smirk. He uses his raw speed to deliver a powerful kick to Kafka's head to send her flying into a crate.

"Like I said, that is not going to work," Ren said as his Cogna implants prevent Kafka's special voice from getting him under her influence. "Begin recording combat data of Kafka," Ren said getting into a combat stance and summoning a pair of gauntlets on his hands.

"I got your back if something bad happens," Gwen said on the radio as the drones scanned through the walls to see the two fighters facing each other.

Kafka gets back onto her feet to spit blood on the floor. "Interesting, seems like you are more than just a punk," Kafka said as she drew her katana blade.

"Well, Kafka I will give you seven minutes of my time to play with you. I have more important things to do," Ren said as the drones began to set up explosives around the warehouse to set them up for 10 minutes to go off.

"So confident, can you back that up," Kafka feeling calm for Ren is trying not to laugh to see how unmatched she truly is. She slices the air to release lightning crescents with Ren swiftly dodging the energy attacks. Kafka sees Ren is going so fast, it's very hard to keep track of his movements. She pulls out her machine pistol to unleash a volley of bullets but Ren easily dodges all of them. He slides under the hail of fire to sweep kick her and then follow up with a powerful palm strike sending her across the warehouse. "Very strong too," Kafka regains her balance in mid-air unleashing waves of bolts of lightning and electric crescents.

Ren is dodging and evading all her hits. She tosses a web of electricity at Ren. He fires a bullet to hit a hanging shipping crate to drop it in front of him to block her move. He dashes up and punches the large crate sending it towards Kafka.

She powers up her katana with lightning to slice the crate in half with Ren right behind it. He delivers a powerful flying kick to strike her head stunning her as he is sending rapid-fire punches to push her back with each strike getting stronger than the last.

He uses a titanic one-inch punch onto Kafka's chest to hear her ribs breaking from the overwhelming force of the blow. Kafka spits out a lot of blood from her mouth as Ren follows up with a close-range bullet shot becoming a large concussive blast to send her flying across the floor to bouncing several times to slam into a wall leaving a dent behind.

"Until you, I don't play games," Ren fixes up his sunglasses with his suit leaving neat like before.

Kafka tries to get up but the blow is too much she stings from her ribs being broken. She is trying her hardest to keep fighting to save herself.

"So did your master foretold you getting smashed like that?" Ren asked with a cruel smile.

"Very funny," Kafka said dryly.

"The Stellaron Hunters are not breaking fate or any nonsense like that. You still help maintain the status quo of the Aeons which makes you all part of the problem in turn our enemies," Ren said as he kicked all the crates at her. She is dodging and weaving but her rubs are slowing her down. One box slams into her face to knock her into a pile of boxes.

Kafka rushes at him but he sets up bullet mines in front of him to knock her off balance while delivering powerful strikes to her body wounding her further. Ren lets her get close as the fight is over at this point. Kafka swings her sword as Ren easily dodges her slashes. He strikes her arm to disarm her katana to grab its hilt. In one smooth motion, he manages to slice into her and sever most of it from her shoulder.

Kafka screams in agony as she collapses onto the floor. Her arm is beside Ren as he empowers the bullet to vaporize it. "Did you foresee your defeat?" Ren mocks her as he takes her katana to impale it through her stomach. She groans in pain as Ren smiles at her. "You don't know fear but you do know pain," Ren leaves the blade there to pin her to the floor with blood pouring onward around her.

"Well, her ally is coming here soon. I was holding him off until you were done," Gwen said.

Gwen also tells him the bombs are ready to blow in 3 minutes. "Well, the 7 minutes are up. You make a good warmup, I hope you like the fireworks," Ren said as he warped out of there with the drone gaining the combat data they needed.

"Damn it, I underestimate that man," Kafka said as Blade comes in to rescue Kafka. "You are late," she said.

"One of the Pathfinders was keeping me busy. Got in a few headshots too," Blade said pointing to his forehead to see his wounds healed rapidly. Blade takes off the blade from her stomach to grab her and warp her out of there before the warehouse explodes.

They appear in a shuttle with Silver Fox surveying the fight. "Gee, that guy was nuts and he wasn't using any energy from the Aeons," Silver Fox said.

"Impossible with that type of performance," Blade said as Kafka is very badly injured.

"Shit, she is going to need to be put in a medical pod for a while," Silver Fox said as they exit out of the orbit of the planet to head to a safe room.

Elsewhere Caelus is in the shower to wash himself to feel happy he has gotten Tingyun as a girlfriend. "I can't believe it, it seems like a dream has come true," he said as he remembers Tingyun's panty shot at the park to feel his penis getting harder from the pleasant memory. "Goodness, I can't get it out of my mind. At least it makes good wank material," he thought lewdly getting out of the shower to be in his room in just a towel.

"That felt nice," Caelus said as Tingyun came into the room to greet her new boyfriend.

"Hey baby, you want to hang out with me for tea," Tingyun said as she realized Caelus was only a towel. "Oh goodness," Tingyun said flushing red to see his sexy slim body.

"Oh Tingyun, I was going to change," he said as his towel flies off his body to reveal his dick Tingyun's face becomes a tomato and blood runs out of her nose.

"His dick, his beautiful dick," Tingyun moaned as she falls back onto the floor with a big pervy smile on her face.

"Tingyun, are you okay?" he asked as Tingyun was giggling like a mad woman.

"Goodness, your dick is so big," Tingyun said as Caelus puts on some clothing to get her onto his bed making sure she is okay. "Oh boy, I passed out from getting a nice view," Tingyun said.

"I bet you did. Wanted me to join you for tea?" Caelus asked.

"Yes. Also, I have some vanilla cake as well," Tingyun said as she can't get the image of his penis and his tall slim naked body out of her mind. "Damn, pretty face and slim body make me so weak," Tingyun thought as she is hiding her flushed face.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Oh nothing, I am being silly," Tingyun said. "More like a pervert but damn can you blame me," she thought for them to enjoy a snack break together.

"Hey guys," March said as she blasted music out of her smartphone.

"What is that music?" Tingyun asked as her ears were not pleased with this as they were lower down to her hair.

"Yeah it's not very good," Caelus said as March pouted at this.

"You are a bunch of gran-grans. This is the new hit song from the new pop idol Sakura," March said as she showed off a concert from this cute pink-haired teenage girl appealing to a crowd of her fans.

"Oh, that girl, she is very plastic," Tingyun said as her songs were like poison to her ears.

"Not the type of music listen to. Too bubblegum for my taste," Caelus said as March pouted at this.

"Her music is amazing. You don't understand her mastery over the words," March said.

"That is some serious cope," Caelus said as March is getting upset over this.

"Well, you guys are lame," March moves along to listen to her pop music.

"As long as it keeps her happy," Tingyun said as she took the tea to drink it down. "This is so good. This tea is so enjoyable," she said.

"Besides you are way prettier than that idol ever could," Caelus said as Tingyun smiled at his sweet comment.

"So sweet to me," she said as she kissed him on the lips. She pats her chest to let out a soft burp. "Oh, excuse me," Tingyun said as Caelus was eating cake to see the news was ablaze with the Stellaron hunters blowing up a warehouse.

"Those guys again," Caelus said as Tingyun sighs at this.

"Those people seem to be in the worst type of trouble," Tingyun said.

"They tend to handle what they are doing," Caelus said.

"You know, that wasn't us right," a certain voice said as Caelus looked over to a hologram of Silver Fox appearing within the Astral Express.

Tingyun jumps in surprise with Caelus approaching the young woman. "So, what were you doing there?" he asked.

"We were going to steal something but one of those Pathfinders of yours got in the way," Silver Fox said as Caelus was surprised by this.

"You fought one of them?" Caelus asked.

"Two of them. Blade fought this gunslinger and Kafka fought this guy named Ren. He was wearing a suit and sunglasses looking like a total douchebag. Blade managed to push back that woman but Kafka wasn't so lucky. She got beaten pretty badly and lost her arm," Silver Wolf said.

"Seriously?" Caelus asked.

"Yeah, I think I met someone who is even more smug than Kafka. He seems so in control of the situation, also he is immune to Kafka's spirit whisper," Silver Wolf said.

"Really?" Caelus asked.

"Yes, very odd. She is okay, she is in a medical pod recovering. Also, I wanted to hack one of the drones they were using but I couldn't. Every time I tried, there was always an error message over my equipment. It's unheard of," Silver Wolf said.

"You are a pretty damn good hacker," Caelus said.

'Yes but this is very unique and it is upsetting to know I don't know how to take one over. By the way, I hacked your comms via Kafka's request and we are caught up with your current problems. The Pathfinders, the Cogna, and the Omni Keys. Our leader Ello is deeply interested in this. He is disturbed by their presence," Sliver Wolf said.

"I can only imagine. He didn't foresee this?" Caelus asked.

"No, there is a mysterious aura about them that is making it hard for him to see what the outcomes will bring," Silver Fox said.

"These Cogna are very mysterious and very old," Caelus said.

"I look up things on my end. Smell you later," Silver Fox disappeared.

"You are friends with her?" she asked.

"We play games online sometimes. She is very weird," Caelus said.

"I see, you have some weird connections with people," Tingyun said.

"I do know a lot of people and connections. Helps out with my job," Caelum said as he finished his cake. "This is delicious Tingyun," he said.

"Thanks, I got it from one of the shops on Thanzo 2 we visited. They served some amazing sweets," Tingyun said.

"I bet they did," Tingyun said as they finished off their snack break to enjoy others' company for a while.

Caelus went onto the planet to do something while Tingyun was in her room. The image of her boyfriend's penis is stuck in her mind. "Goodness, it was so big," Tingyun feels her nether regions pulsing from the image etched into her mind.

Tingyun strips out of her clothing to only be in her underwear to see her panties were soaking wet. "Damn it, I can't take it anymore," she sits down on her bed to pull the bottom of her panties to expose her pussy. It is leaking precum made from her lustful thoughts of her boyfriend's sexy slim body.

"I need this," she begins to rub her privates with her shaking in pleasure. "Goodness, I have been doing this ever since he saved me. He is so cute, sweet, and sexy, he is driving my body crazy," Tingyun said as her tail was straightened out with her ears pointing upwards.

"Oh, baby. Oh baby," Tingyun groans as she rubs herself even faster. "Oh, I wish he can eat me out and play with my clit," she thought as she is overflowing with precum wetting her slender fingers. "Or let me suck his big human dick. Goodness, that would be so nice," Tingyun could imagine droving his big member inside her tight little mouth filling out every inch of it.

"Oh goodness. Honey, I am going to cum for you. I am such a bad girl, please make me yours forever," Tingyun said as she begins to stroke her clit with pressure building up inside. Then Tingyun lets out a big yelp as she shoots out juices onto the floor and bed.

"Oh, damn it, that was so good," Tingyun said as she is out of breath. She can still feel her pussy pulsing from her orgasm. "Oh, I need to clean up," Tingyun said as she got into her bathroom to get a new pair of undies and clothing.

She is in the shower to let the water wash over her curves as her lust is held back for now. "I want the real thing; I don't want to fantasize anymore. I need him to make me an even more naughty girl," she thought as she got clean to come out of the bathroom to be in a beige sweater dress with white stockings.

"Oh I feel refreshed," Tingyun said as she saw Caelum coming into her room. "Hey honey, you are back already?" she asked.

"I have gotten a commission on Thanzo 2 which involves taking out monsters in the forest. You want to come along?" he asked.

"Oh course, we can work on our teamwork," Tingyun said.

"Perfect, we will teleport to the city and head for the farmlands. There is a rouge monster destroying their crops, we need to take it out and get a lot of credits for our troubles," Caelus said.

"Sounds good," Tingyun said.

"You look cute in that," Caelus commented on her sweater dress forming against her body.

"Oh thanks, I wanted to freshen myself up," Tingyun said.

"March said you were groaning in your room. Did you have a stomachache?" he asked seeming concerned.

"Oh no, nothing like that," Tingyun said with a blush on her face. "Okay I was playing with myself thinking about you," she said bluntly as Caelus was blushing from this.

"Like what?" he asked.

"Your face, your body, your penis, and sweetness to me. It drives me nuts even before we become a couple," Tingyun said.

"Me too, I was rubbing myself when I thought about you. That one time when you running with your boobs bouncing all over the place. That drove me crazy," Caelus said as Tingyun giggled at this.

"We are pretty very needy of each other. We need to make time to get to know each other on a physical level," Tingyun said.

"I would love that foxy," Caelus said as they gave each other a long wet kiss.

"I can't wait," Tingyun said as they teleported down onto the planet to be within the farmlands.

"Let's go this way," Caelus said as they walked over to see a sea of crops in front of them.

"Well, such a lovely view for a picture," Tingyun said as they saw the crops to see a large amount of crops was missing.

"Seems like this monster eating a lot of it," Caelus said.

"Quite the huge stomach," Tingyun said as she leaped on top of the tree to look over the fields to see something in the distance with her sharp eyesight. "Baby, we got company," Tingyun said as she saw a huge pig-like monster covered in a weird organic metal hull.

"What do you see?" he asked.

"It's like Gwen, it's been transformed by the Cogna," Tingyun said.

"Seems like some of the Conga units are here," Caelus said.

"We need to wipe the rest of the Cogna here," Tingyun said as she felt a huge amount of shakingwhich made her fall off the tree and fall into a broken tree stump. "Oh no, honey please help me," Tingyun said as her dress was hiked up to show off her legs flinging around. Caelus takes a nice look at her white and pink striped panties which can be seen through her white tights hugging her thick round butt nicely.

"Mm, very cute undies Foxy," he teased her making her blush.

"Baby, stop staring and help me," she said embarrassed to be in a compromising position.

"Give me a minute," he said taking in the pleasant sights. "Okay I am done," he said to pull her out with Tingyun straighten out her sweater dress.

"Gee Caelus, you took your sweet old time," she said as Tingyun pouted at him for she thought she looked quite adorable making that sour face.

"Sorry I can't help myself," he said as Tingyun stroked his cheek.

"Okay, I forgive you. Besides I wanted to show you those anyway. Come on, let's kill this thing," Tingyun said as she summoned her bladed fans to fold them outward to head for the beast.

Caelus summons his baton to swiftly head for the huge metallic boar chewing up the crops. The pig detects their presence to begins raging out and charging at them.

Tingyun drops orbs of lightning to block its pursuit with Caelus charging up raw energy into his weapon to slam into its face sending it flying into a tree and breaking it in half. Caelus closes in with Tingyun and drops bolts of lightning into the metal boar. Caelus switches to his fire lance to launch fireballs to pepper the beast.

The boar unleashes a powerful roar to spread waves of energy to push them back. Releasing a bunch of energy orbs to seek them out. Caelus conjures a flaming shield to block the shots. Tingyun leaps over her boyfriend to slice the air releasing lightning crescents to crave into its weird metallic hull shedding white blood everywhere.

She electrified her blade fans to get close and slash and cut into its body. She unleashes a powerful electric blast to blow a chunk of metal flesh off its side. The metal boar shoves the Foxian away as it fires a barrage of energy bullets at them.

Tingyun gets in front to put up her bladed fans like a shield to block the incoming energy attacks. Caelus slides under the wave of energy bullets to switch to his punching daggers to whip out gusts of wind to stun the beast. Both Tingyun and Caelus conjure several waves of wind and electric crescents craving into the beast's hide.

They see the beast beginning to heal all its wounds. "Cover me, I am going to zap its brains out," Tingyun said as Caelus was tossing orbs of wind to slam into the beast to get it stunned. "Eat this," Tingyun leaps at the beast to fold her bladed fans to become daggers. She lands on top of the monster's head to drive her blades into its head beginning to shoot torrents of lightning through its skull to vaporize anything within it.

The beast is lifeless collapsing onto the ground to leap beside her partner. "That was pretty cool Tingyun, very gusty," Caelus said.

"Thanks, baby, I always want to do my best you are nearby," Tingyun said with a sweet voice.

"We make good partners," Caelus said.

"Yes in battle and life. Come on, take a picture to prove we killed it," Tingyun said as they saw the infected huge hog which looked very unnerving. "Gee, those nanites turned it into a weird organic/robotic hybrid," Tingyun said.

"The Cogna are truly mysterious," Caelus said as they went back to the commission office and got their 100,000 credit bounty.

"This is a nice payout we got," Tingyun said.

"Yep, keep building up our accounts for getting supplies or our purpose," Caelus said.

"I doubt we will see the last of these things," Tingyun said.

"Yeah, I wonder if there is more here," Caelus said as they teleported back into the express to rest up.

Elsewhere Gwen is in a cave on the planet of Thanzo 2 having various creatures been transformed into Cogna Units. "How is the testing over?" Alice asked.

"Well, some creatures are better adapted than others. Having them attack the city and boundaries will make them good testing grounds. The crew of the Astral Express has killed one of my test subjects," Gwen said.

"They are in orbit around the planet now. I think you need to send them out and get one of them killed in the process," Alice said.

"Yes, I was thinking about it. I will get on it," Gwen said as she is interested in one of her more powerful experiments. "This will do nicely," Gwen said with a sinster grin on her face.
