Chapter 8

Two weeks later, another Kill Ralph Hinkley project appeared on Ralph's back porch.

Relaxing at home, Ralph Hinkley sat on the couch reading a book as he turned the page with a claw.

He thought, 'These things are useful for something. I'll have to make an appointment with Cindy to have them trimmed tomorrow.'

He heard something in the backyard, two of them. They stepped onto the back porch and did something to the security system panel next to the door. He straightened up and focused in that direction, all senses alert to the intruders. His wife didn't hear anything and puttered around the living room, dusting the furniture.

Miming to Pam that someone was at the back door, he put his finger to his lips for her to be quiet. He pointed to the bedroom, indicating for her to go there. She shook her head and pointed to the super suit ring.

He pushed her toward the room and whispered, "No, I will do this. I will stop the invaders." He wasn't sure why he moved Pam and made the statement, but he felt it was the right thing to do to protect his home, female, and child.

Pam could see an unusual look in his green eyes; she stepped back and went into the room, believing she had to do what he said, but left the door cracked open so she could watch and put on Barry, her super suit, in case her husband required help. He hadn't gotten Suit back from Eric yet.

Ralph jumped behind the couch, crouched there, and waited for the trespassers to enter the room.

Someone entered his territory; this was a threat to his family. He must protect them. His fingers with the green claws twitched, wanting to slash and rake at the intruders. He listened, and the back door opened.

There were two large green guys. They walked softly, but he could still hear their steps with the enhanced hearing the green guy junk genes gave him, and he could smell their odor, another junk gene ability. His muscles were taut and ready to spring into action.

They entered the dining room from the kitchen carrying energy beam guns. They peered into the living room, expecting to see the First and his wife, but no one was there. One pointed to the bedroom, and they headed in that direction.

Ralph caught the sound of their movements toward the bedroom and his female. Jumping into the air with his adrenaline-charged leg muscles, he propelled his body from behind the couch over twenty feet to the intruders with his arms, hands, fingers outstretched, and claws ready to grab whatever got in his way. Each of his clawed hands clutched one green guy's head and pushed them down. They dropped their energy beam guns, surprised by the sudden attack.

One green guy's head was pushed onto the antique desk the couple had recently purchased with such force the thick oak desktop broke, and the alien dropped unconscious.

The other alien fell to the floor; Ralph jumped on top, straddling him, holding his arms down with his knees. Slashing the green guy's face with his claws back and forth, a wild look came to his eyes, and a ferocious growl came from his throat.

So shocked seeing Ralph's green hair, hearing the terrifying yet familiar growl coming from the assailant's throat, and the sudden attack, the green guy's human disguise was dropped, and his green lizard-like face was now exposed. The ancient claw weapon Ralph slashed with removed two of the alien's chin horns, sliced clean off, and tumbled across the floor. The alien let out a high-pitched scream when this happened.

When he saw the lizard's face with the chin and forehead horns blue and the crest horns black in fear, he remembered the pain of his body being beaten by large green guys when he was captured on the Yesil Petroleum platform. Wanting to fight back, he switched from claws to fists, repeatedly hitting the alien's face. Ralph's green junk genes compelled him to slay this enemy, knowing that if he didn't, he would be killed, and with each blow, the urge to kill increased.

Ralph thought, 'If I remove this enemy, he will have no one to take his memory song, and he deserved this for invading his domain.'

What memory song? What is that? Something familiar played through his mind, far in the background.

Pam ran out of the room and grabbed Ralph's arm, yelling at him, "Stop! Stop! Ralph, stop!" realizing if she didn't stop him, he would murder this individual.

Hearing Pam's voice brought his human self back, and he stopped. Breathing hard, he glanced at the green lizard's face, now covered in blood, and felt powerful and in control; he had protected his territory and family from the intruders. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and pulled his bloodied fingers through his green hair, leaving streaks of alien blood.

He stood up from the severely beaten lizard and commanded Pam, "Get me the duct tape from the kitchen."

She ran into the kitchen, not knowing why but feeling compelled to do what Ralph ordered. He had protected her and the baby. She was his primary female, and she loved him for it. Why was she thinking this? Confused, she returned with the strapping material, wanting to do whatever her husband told her.

Ralph wrapped several feet of tape around each green guy's wrists and ankles and placed pieces across their mouths.

"There, that should hold them until I'm ready to contact the Heroes to take them away."

"Why don't you call them now?"

"Because I have something else I want to do." He ripped off his shirt, buttons flying everywhere, and tore off Pam's yellow sundress, the spaghetti straps snapping apart. With one serrated claw, he cut the elastic on her panties, and they fell to the floor. He grabbed her now naked body tightly to his.

This surprised Pam, "What are you doing?"

Ralph took a handful of her hair, pulled her head back, and kissed her aggressively. "I want you right now, can't you tell."

She could now feel what he referred to bulging through his pants.

"But I thought you couldn't unless in season. We don't have a second female; you could hurt me."

"I don't care what they told us; I want you now. Stop me if I'm hurting you."

Pulling the drawstring on his sweatpants, they fell to the floor. His arousal was prominent. He stepped out of the legs of the pants, picked his woman up by the waist, and pushed her to the living room wall. She wrapped her limbs around his waist and vigorously kissed him, grabbing his green hair.

They made frantic, aggressive love against the wall, with Ralph grunting and growling and Pam crying out in excitement and ecstasy.

One of the green guys became conscious as the couple began the frenzied lovemaking. Watching with wide eyes, he got excited himself.

He heard Ralph's growls and thought, 'I didn't know humans growled like green guys when having sex.'

Pam said, "That was amazing. Why was it so different now?"

"I don't know, I don't care. I don't want to stop. Do you want to keep going?"

Pam smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck with her head held back, crying out, "Yes! Yes!"

Ralph got a wild expression in his eyes again and carried her to the bedroom, kissing her neck and breasts with growls coming out of his throat.

No second female was necessary, and Pam found she liked Ralph's more aggressive sexual actions. It excited her even more than when she was fighting large green guys. She didn't have to stop him. It didn't take long for them both to again reach the climax of their ecstasy.

Little Alphy slept the whole time in the nursery.

The shot of adrenaline through Ralph's system during the fight increased his testosterone levels, and an immediate need to have his woman flooded his brain and groin.

After they finished the frantic lovemaking, Ralph contacted the Hero Emergency Line to report the intrusion and apprehension of two large green guys.

After being called, Eric arrived with Suit over his arm and a team to take charge of the large green guys.

Eric glanced at the alien on the floor, "You did this by yourself? Pam didn't help?"

"I needed to do it myself. I think the ancient genes brought out a fighting defense instinct in me. The only thing I could think of was protecting my territory, my female, and my child."

Pam smiled, knowing he meant her, and she wanted to be his woman. Pam's green guy genes were reacting to Ralph's green guy pheromones, bringing forth an ancestral memory of long-forgotten reactions.

Eric questioned, "Your territory, your female?" He didn't understand why Pam said nothing about this statement.

"I'm sorry, but that was what it felt like and what was running through my mind as I waited to attack."

Eric looked at the bloody face of the alien Ralph had slashed and raked with his claws and beaten with his fists and said, "You sure did a number on that guy."

"I know what the claws are good for now. These are what they used when fighting. My human side used my fists. I got carried away, remembering how they beat me when I was captured. If the junk genes hadn't been started, I wouldn't have been able to fight these guys off."

Eric asked Pam, "Why didn't you transfer to Barry and take care of them?"

"Ralph didn't want me to. He wanted to do it. I watched from the bedroom in case he needed help." She looked at him and said approvingly, "He did just fine on his own." Ralph smiled back at her; again, the sensation of power came over him, having protected her.

Eric saw the strange expression in Ralph's eyes in response to her praise and wondered what went on between those two.

Eric said, "Dr. Clayborn said your hormone levels have stayed normal for the last three weeks, so here is Suit."

Ralph grabbed Suit with a huge smile and said, "Transfer now."

Suit appeared on him, and he was so happy he floated into the air and twirled around in a circle.

Landing, he said, "I'm going for a long flight and left out the back door.

Flying across the US, enjoying every second of being back with Suit, he felt Suit's power and knew the USA was his territory and he had to protect it. He was America's Greatest Hero.

The End
