After my classes were done I went home, did a double take as not only was this place looking good but there was also a fucking dome over us… what the?
Well, at least this stops those annoying hunters, lickers and that one flying zombie…
Plus, now everyone can walk around in the streets now. This is good, this is-
"Button Mash?" I turned and looked up and saw an MTF agent there.
"Yes?" I asked. "Just heading home."
"Understood, just passing out your citizenship ID." The MTF said, handing me a rather SI-FI looking card. It was like holding a hologram. "Most everyone else has one already and your children will be eligible for a physical one at age ten. This also lets us know you and your mates are their parents should you temporarily lose the child."
"Alright." I nodded. "And hopefully I won't lose any of my children."
With a nod he left.
I looked the card over, it seemed to give my name, Assistant Number, a list of all my mates including the Breeder Girls, current born children, my adopted kids I… also orphaned, and even how many kids my pregnant mates are expecting each… that's lot of detail. There was other info here but I'll look at that more later.
I went back to my home, the apartment had some renovations and now simply had the number 48 on the side and the old name of the building removed. Huh. Guess this is officially my home if it's now for an address.
I decided to check my ID, my address was 48 Luther RD, Apt 51.
Oh, so it is still an apartment - wait, only a single unit? There's too many of us for that- unless… is there also that magic space expanding stuff there now?!
"Uh…okay…" I muttered, not sure how they managed to do all of this so insanely quickly as I went inside and to the floor my unit was on and opened the door to my 'apartment' and hoped the place was big enough for everyone.
Inside was… a living room. Huge, like, almost half the floor size alone. I smiled. This solves so many issues-
"Master!" I yelped as all my Breeder Girls were there, pulled me in and all tried hugging me at the same time. Save Lola. She still has her mind and has some restraint but was still part of the mob.
"Sorry Button, they were basically waiting at the door for you to return." Cream said after they finally put me down after each giving me a kiss.
Well… that's one way to be welcomed home…
"How are you all doing today?"
"We are so happy to be here, now closer to you than ever Master!" Kara said with glee, her tail tip wagging frantically… actually all of theirs were. Save Lola who just kept a smile on her face.
"I'm glad you're all doing good." I said warmly.
"Yeah, also she wants to talk to you." Cream said, pointing a hoof at the couch where a woman, yellow hair, cat like ears and tail sat in a suit but spotted a Pin of the SCP New Foundation logo. It was basically the old one but had several segments inside that circle. "Says she's from Civilian Civil Services."
I don't even know what that is… yet it makes me feel terrified.
"I didn't do anything." I said nervously to the lady.
"Button Mash, good you finally arrived. I am Ava Cooks, I was assigned to your Family Case given the… circumstances." She addressed me, professional and forward like an Equestrian Crown Employee… "Now then, according to the file you have twelve Breeders, eleven of which were purchased directly from Lust and one that was a rescue from a raid on a Lust facility. As well as thirty adopted children that were mind wiped and taken here after you slaughtered two Puritan Colonies." She listed off.
I gulped.
"Is…is that all a bad thing?" I asked worriedly.
"Legally, no. Purchasing Breeders directly from a Chaos Guild seller is not illegal but is frowned upon. From now on should you decide you wish to acquire another Breeder, Serf, Slave, or even a Lover, Ally or Servant Class please contact me and I can schedule a tour of the adoption centers." I blinked. "As for the children, Puritan Colonies are often a hot spot where Chaos Guilds sell them weapons and they enslave and mistreat others not of their species. Saving those children while admirable, I did note they have no recollection of their home or prior families, just their names and a deep seated fear of you. I have scheduled a therapist for them as to hopefully build up better relationships with them and yourself as you are their legal adoptive father figure."
"Well…that works I suppose." I said honestly. "Just…sorry for buying from the Chaos Guilds…didn't really have much choice at the time…"
"No need to apologize. We regularly purchase them in bulk as well as acquire them from those who saved them from chaos Guilds. This way we can ensure they aren't abused while in the warehouses, bred in brothels or neglected. And we can always keep an eye on the ones who adopt or purchase them within our settlements and allies Settlements to ensure this. Keep in mind Button Mash we take this VERY seriously. Regular inspections of your Breeders and any other Chaos Guild reprogrammed individual will be conducted and if we discover any neglect, a penalty and fine will be issued to you. If we detect abuse then we will remove the Breeder, Slave and or Serf from your person and arrest you for upwards of ten years and blacklist you from future adoptions. Do I make myself clear?" She said with a smile… making all that more terrifying to hear…
"I wasn't going to do anything like that to begin with, I want to burn Lust to the ground and have the higher ups watch as they are helpless and in pain till I make sure they stay permanently dead."
"You and damn near everyone else who adopts." Ava said. "Now that the formalities are out of the way it's time for the paperwork." She said, tapping her Assistant -
Thud!
A stack of papers and folders all taller than the tallest of my Den Mothers was now on the floor.
"No~..." I said breathlessly at the absolute nightmare of papers.
"Firstly, employment. You yourself are currently enrolled in the MTF program. As such your earning while in the Program add up to fifty thousand rem a week, two hundred thousand rem a month and two million, four hundred thousand rem a year. Currently as a means of supporting the residents in your dwelling, primarily Costs of food are the only expense you will need to worry as the unite spatial transformation engine also provide heating, cooling, power and water, but your other expenses over time, baby food, clothes, diapers, any repairs to furniture and or electronics as well as the added fees should you decide to have a trainer help teach your Breeders skills outside the bedroom, and a minimum of a thousand rem to a savings emergency fund, comes to two thousand rem a week to spend or eight thousand rem a month for personal expenses."
Numbers make my head feel spinny…
"So…yeah…" I said slowly, rubbing my head lightly. How I could understand complicated math in video games fine but real life math still astouns me.
"Is there something unclear Button Mash?"
"Just…a lot of numbers…and a lot of things…" I said carefully
"Oh, let me repeat."
Before Ava could repeat, Philomena spoke up. "Simply put you are saying that current as an MTF trainee he will bake just barely enough to pay for the food to feed his current family size but you mentioned something about a trainer for our Breeders as well as I'm assuming bringing up other alternative means of income or cost reduction investments?"
"Correct." Ava said with a nod.
"So…there's a way to help the Breeders…not be…as dependant on me?"
"Oh they will still lust and obsess over you." Ava said. "But we can teach them skills to help both bring extra income into your residency and keep them busy and active so they at least aren't waiting for you at the door as they were just now. Granted some will have to remain to tend to the newborns and it's required that they rotate out to keep their psychological health at peak."
"I see. Well, Lola is a Breeder but has retained her memories, and she was and still is quite a powerful combatant." Philomena informed.
"I am well aware. It is the eleven others I'm more concerned with." Ava said. "You yourself are a Servant Class, but with a sub class as Mistress which basically makes you both a Servant and Lover Class together, add to your Servant Classing being a Nanny, I take it you will reside at home both to keep it functioning and orderly?"
"I was already planning on that." Philomena nodded.
I was honestly amazed how well Philomena kept up and understood. Meanwhile I'm taking a minute or ten to process this all…
"Alright…I'm really glad your here Philomena."
"Happy to oblige Master Button." Philomena said.
"In that case we can move onto the financial investments. A good way to cut your food bills up to seventy percent or even a hundred percent is if you purchase a Terraform Engine and install it to your unit engine. This will allow you to create a new room with essentially an old realm size planet."
"I see, you're suggesting we buy it to create an Eden Garden. That would definitely remove food and other expenses down to zero."
"And…how much would it cost us to get a Terraform Engine?" I asked carefully.
"The smallest one capable of making a planet roughly twenty five thousand miles In circumference with a customizable land and ocean mass ratio on the surface typically runs for three million rem."
"I mean…while I could make that in three years, I know I can make three million rem from just doing a dungeon run with my loot multiplier." I said readily.
"Does your current schedule allow for such free time?" Ava said. "MTF training will take anywhere from six to eight hours of your day, add to your time keeping your Breeders happy and being a father to your children is there any time for a dungeon run?"
… Wow… these people brought the dull grind of the daily workforce to this hell hole planet and make it feel like the normal worlds… gotta respect that actually…
"Not the first time I've had to do more than twenty hours of stuff till I'm exhausted." I said honestly. "And apparently not the last…"
"No overworking yourself." Cream said.
"And there's more important things to be done, plus, only a 'mild training exercise' was overworking for both me and Cheat so no."
"Good. Means you will be tired and can't overwork yourself when you get home." Sweetie spoke up.
"Finally." Maud added.
"Do you think that'll stop me?" I asked.
"If not us, they have full permission to keep you pinned. For use." Cream added, motioning to the Breeders who all, even Lola, looked very excited.
"Why am I not allowed to do thing's all of a sudden?" I huffed.
"Were you not complaining yesterday about worrying about being a bad father?" Philomena asked with a raised brow. "You can't be absent from your child's childhood and be a good father Master Button. So it's your unhealthy desire to train or your family."
My jaw might as well have fallen off…
"It's because of my family that I'm training." I tried to defend myself. "Even with all our new help…it can all be taken away…"
"So you doubt the New Foundation and all our resources and members can adequately protect your loved ones?" Ava asked.
I flinched.
"N-no?" I said carefully. "Why would I doubt your help? It's not like I've been one of the few people having to make sure his entire family has been safe for years from this entire zone and paying off Chaos Guilds, and then, out of nowhere, all my strength that I've gotten so far has been…oh I don't know…made completely pointless in less than ten minutes, so clearly me wanting to be stronger to protect my family just means nothing in the end cause now we have you all here." I said, feeling my blood boil as I gave that minor rant.
"Mister Button Mash, I understand your fears. Your time on Armageddon has not been easy but make no mistake the MTF training you are being Paid while undergoing is that training. Meaning it's already made to help you improve and strengthen yourself. While under New Foundation citizenship, your family will be protected, that is no mere promise, that is a fact." She added emphasis on that. "And all your family is asking for is to leave your training at your job to make time for them. Is that such a hard thing to do?"
I sighed. "Fine…I'll try…"
"Good. Now, these documents will require your signatures, at least those here that are not Breeders."
It took an hour but we signed everything and she put away all but a single folder.
"Now then, this folder holds all the contact information for Civil Services and how to go about filing any documents. This also contains information on your unit and some of the remodels the area has undergone."
"Alright." I nodded, opening the file to see what was remodeled and all the other nonsense I have to deal with.
Hmm. Apartment's are all that, one fire station is back up and running, a few restaurants and stores. Post office. So far, normal… heh. It's gonna take a long time before I get used to normal.
"Man…going from what we've been doing to…this being normal again…" I chuckled.
"If you feel that there are struggles to adapt to a sense of normalcy please contact one of the therapists listed within." With that, Ava got up and took her leave.
I sighed, jumping into and flopping on the couch.
I felt as Sweetie, Cream, and Maud all climbed on there to. To my right was Sweetie, left of me was Maud and laying on my back was Cream.
"Was that so hard?" Cream asked.
"Yes…" I sighed.
"You don't need to shoulder the safety of the town anymore Button. Isn't that a good thing?" Maud asked.
"It should be…but I've been doing it for so long it feels…wrong…" I sighed.
"It might be for a while but this is a good thing." Sweetie added. "We have safety, we have normalcy now, you can finally be a dad to your kids. It's what you wanted."
"I know…but what if I can't be a good father and can only…be out there?"
"Being a parent isn't something most people immediately know how to do. You learn over time." Maud said.
"They are right. Even we Den Mothers learn new things. We might have the inborn talent and biology to be mother's but each baby is going to be different so we need to learn and adapt more." Philomena added.
I sighed. "Fine, fine…I understand."
"Besides, you've done a lot since we ended up here. You deserve some peace." Sweetie added.
"Yeah yeah…" I sighed, still hoping Cheat was okay.
"I took the liberty of arranging the bedroom. Unfortunately they lack a mattress that can rest all of us at once so I good several of the largest they offered and arranged those for a bed." Philomena said. "The nursery is also set up and connected to our bedroom by a door, closet and bathroom are both large enough to accommodate us all up to four at a time if need be, we have our food in the fridge plus pantry space and a larger storage room. The engine In the unit can easily make bedrooms for the infants as they get older and leave the nursery, the children all old enough already do. And, immature you'll find this the best part, we have television, internet and phone calls all within the settlement and up to two thousand miles away from it."
"Alright." I nodded. "At least we got everything settled for the moment…just…feels weird…"
"It will be a while before you can destress about that stuff." Cream said, putting her hooves to my neck and massaging it from her laying on my back… ahh… that feels nice actually… "Just relax for now."
It felt nice being like this. It will definitely take a while before things get to a sense or normal but all in all… this shouldn't be so scary for me.
Come on Power Up, just a little more and…
"Bwuhb…" She said, plopping to her belly and giggling.
I chuckled, trying to help her learn to crawl at least.
"Adorable." I couldn't help but say at my adorable daughter. "Come on, one more try."
"Wap!" She replied, gumming at her own hoof.
"I still can't believe you got more symbiotes when I was unconscious…" Cheat grumbled. After a night's sleep, Cheat woke up, then woke me up with a scream that even if only I heard it, made me feel like I was gonna be deaf for a week.
"Not like you and him aren't one in the same running yourself ragged no better than he was." Vengeance spoke up.
"Piss off dagger whore!"
"I'm actually more akin to a short sword given my blades length."
"I got them so you don't overwork yourself. I'm the one that's supposed to overwork myself." I mentally told her.
"Bitch I will impregnate you if you throw that backwards ass, helps no one, logic at me!" Cheat declared… honestly the weirdest threat ever…
"Then why in Mother's name did you not tell me you were overworking yourself?" I countered. "Threats mean nothing when you yourself were being assbackwards about this."
"Where do you think I learned that from?! Besides, if I told you I was overworking myself you'd bitch about not wanting me to overwork yourself while basically overworking yourself to death and that's beyond the pot calling the kettle black."
"Like you were to me or with everyone else?" I pointed out. "Cause both of us are in the wrong, but at least I admitted it when everyone was telling me I was…you never once mentioned it…or anyone called you out on it…"
"Yes, we're both at fault, but remind me who kept jumping in head first for hours on end with little sleep in combat? When did I get to rest keeping you armored?!"
"And this is why I got the other three." I stated simply. "So you can rest, also why didn't you fucking tell me you needed to rest?"
"Because if I slept while you were still awake, you'd just be doing the same thing with no armor…"
"Then what about the times I was out without my armor on when you were pregnant? Or taking care of our kid?" I asked.
"You weren't dealing with guns and enemies that had an IQ. Besides, like halfway into that pregnancy I merged our bodies so you would rest. Might not care about your life but it took me basically possessing you plus our unborn daughter to get you to fucking stop."
I looked down at Power Up, who rolled onto her back now.
"My point still stands tho." I said, lightly poking Power Up's exposed stomach and hearing her giggle happily at that.
"You two are a lot alike." Keven the symbiote said.
"I agree." Vengeance added.
"I mean…they did get their personality from me originally…kinda." I brought up.
"I identify as your sexy big sister." Cheat added, making me frown…
Power Up began to cry at this point so I picked her up and bounced her lightly in my hooves.
"It's alright Power, it's alright." I said softly, trying to calm down my crying foal.
She wasn't a very fussy foal, but sometimes she just cried for no reason. I bounced her a bit and pat her back, thinking it might be gas.
"Don't cry Power Up…everything's okay."
She eventually settled down, falling asleep in my hooves and I held her close…
"Despite it all… the fact is, our kids deserve to know their father, and maybe one day I can get another body and they can know their mom… tell you what? You stop overworking yourself, and I'll do the same. Deal?" Cheat asked.
"Alright." I said simply.
I carefully put her back into her crib then checked on my other children.
Dovahkiin's crib was next to hers. My little boy was cuddled up to a plush Minecraft Creeper I found in a toy store.
I smiled warmly. "Love you my children." I said warmly.
Dova stretched in his sleep. Agh, too cute!
The next crib held all my kids with Philomena. The little half fox half pony pups all refusing to sleep in their own cribs alone.
"So…many kids…" I sighed, hoping to be a good father to all of them.
They all enjoyed sleeping in a pile. Pressed up against and onto one another. It still feels so weird… these are my kids…
"Well yeah, you sure as hell had fun making them with us all~" Cheat teased.
"Shush you." I blushed. "But…so many kids…all of them are mine…I can't believe it.."
"Not including the unborn your Breeders are carrying and the infants you adopted will grow up seeing you as a parent." Vengeance added.
I looked over at those cribs. Every time I saw them I did feel guilty… I kidnapped them, killed their families, and then having Parker erase the older ones memories… wonder if I got a Dark Skill doing that and didn't realize…
"This sucks…so many of the kids I have…I got from murdering their family…"
I did decide to check. Should be in the Sin Tree… here it is… in Pride.
[Child Abductor: Children, be them of your slain enemies or elsewhere, when kidnapped by you will over time see you as their parent. If memories are erased or they are taken as infants, effect is quickened by 50%]
I hate this…
"Useful however." Vengeance spoke up.
"This fucking sucks, I don't care if it's 'Useful'...why does this world want to spite me?"
"I don't think Spite is the right word… Think about it, you've met the soul of the planet already, a child who wants the surface to have people, friends. It's the Chaos Guilds who taint this desire."
"Cause apparently Nexus was super salty about their loss and then everyone else just kinda decided to be as horrible a person as possible."
"I think the point ms. twin stabbers is trying to make is that if the planet's soul is giving you these abilities, maybe you're looking at them wrong." Cheat said.
"Ah, yes, cause how else can I look at them when they all embody the Seven Deadly Sins?"
"Not all of them, but think about it. Aside from destroying your enemies base, what else is the hardest hitting way to eradicate your enemies? Remove the possibility of a next generation. You would never kill a child, so this is the lesser of major evils." Vengeance stated.
"I know…but it still sucks." I commented.
"You should probably check in on those kids, as far as they know you are their parent." Cheat added.
"Yeah…I have a lot to do." I mentally said, heading off to try and find the other kids.
Each kid had their own room. Youngest of them was three, the oldest was eleven if I remember.
I gave one more look to all the cribs and infants in the nursery before heading out to the hallway and heading to the first of the doors. The name on it read 'Ned'.
I took a deep breath… this… will not be comfortable.
I knocked on the door carefully to Ned's room. "Ned? You in there?"
"Ah, uh…. Yes?" He replied from inside. The fact his first response started with a yelp is already a bad sign…
"Can I come in?"
"...yeah?" They said. I swallowed and entered. Ned was human, green eyes, blond hair. His room was simple, a box of toys, a bed, a desk, some books. Dresser, closet. He was sitting at his desk awkwardly. "Hi…"
"Hey Ned." I said softly. "How are you doing?"
"...Okay?" He replied, clearly nervous and avoiding eye contact with me.
I sighed. "You can be honest with me."
"About…?"
"Anything." I said honestly. "You can talk to me…I don't want you to be nervous or scared around me."
"I uh… don't know what to talk about…"
"It's alright, take your time." I said, gently sitting down. "You can talk to me about anything…"
We sat there in an awkward silence for a while. "So… uh… I heard you're a hermaphrodite?"
"Yes, I am." I nodded.
"Were you… always one?"
"No, I was a normal male before." I said honestly.
"Oh… so, why the change?"
"Cheat got involved when she fused herself with me after she got a mare body…and then I just kinda…stuck with it." I shrugged.
"Huh…"
"So…what have you been doing so far?"
"Some studying… some reading…"
"What you studying?" I inquired.
"Math and… some herbology." Herbology? Ned is nine if I remember, that's surprising.
"That's neat. What part of herbology are you on right now?"
"Mostly it's common herbs and plants and their medicinal uses. Easy, basic stuff."
"That's good." I nodded. "Best to start off with the basics."
"Uh… So, what brings you to… my room?"
"I wanted to see how my kids are doing." I said carefully. "Cause I want to be a good father to you all."
"Right… Umm… so, how are we uh… related? We aren't the same species and no one else aside from some of the other kids are human so… where did we come from?"
Ah crap…
"Well…uh…" I said worriedly, trying to think of what to say. "Magic?"
"You…. Fuck it, I got this." Cheat said before I felt her drag me into the backseat and she took over. "By that, I mean you and your siblings are… adopted."
"Adopted? Are we from prize pods?" Ned asked.
"No, see, you were being held by… not very nice people, so a friend and I dealt with them and rescued you all."
"Oh… but, why don't I remember any of that, or any of us?"
"My friend felt it would be best if you didn't remember what you all went through. They were horrible people and were treating you all horrible. I will admit, when we were rescuing you I was… scary to you all, but I promise I did it all to help you. It's why you all have a fear of me, what they did to you and seeing hos scary I was in combat… I'm sorry."
If I could I'd have dropped my jaw… Cheat lied, a huge ass lie that also took the truth and twisted it into a whole new thing.
"Oh… Huh…" Ned said, looking thoughtful. "Well… I guess that makes sense. So, what does that make us then?"
"I like to think of you as my own now, I promise I will always keep you all safe, but if you don't feel the same way about me, you can just call me Button, I won't force anything on you."
"Heh… thanks Button." Ned said, actually smiling at me.
"You're welcome Ned." With that, Cheat moved us outside the room, closed the door and let me back at the wheel. "You're welcome."
"Shut up, it was awkward and I wasn't sure what to say. He's already scared of me…"
"Well he's now less scared of you and feels a bond. Besides, it wasn't a complete lie. Better they know a half truth than a complete lie."
"I know…but…this is all still new to me and it's…rough."
"I know, but at least there's now a step in the right direction with Ned."
"I know…" I sighed. "I just hope I can be a good dad to everyone…"
"It will take time. Just give it a while, spend time with them each or in small groups. Eventually their fears will pass. Plus they are seeing therapy now.."
I was thankful for that and walked over to the next door. The name on this one was Pickles. They were a filly from that Pony Puritan colony, a blue mane but a moss green coat and eyes. I went to knock on the door but it opened, apparently not having been closed. She was only three, and she laid on the ground drawing. Her room was similar to Ned's save the desk and bed being smaller and all kinda of toys scattered on the floor. Dolls and building blocks.
"Hello?" I asked the young Pickles.
She looked up to me and to my shock, smiled. "Mommy!"
What?
She then tackled my leg and clung to it giggling.
"Awe, so cute!" Cheat said.
"She is cute…" I mentally agreed. "How are you doing Pickles? And I'm daddy, not mommy."
She giggled again. "Mommy looks like daddy." She said.
Huh?
"Wait, does she mean me?" Cheat asked, taking over. "Do you mean me Pickles?" Cheat asked, speaking to her.
"Mommy!" She repeated, latching onto our neck, clinging/dangling/hugging us from there.
"Well…looks like they like you more."
"They didn't seem scared of you either…" Cheat added. "Sweetie, what do you think of daddy?"
"Daddy and mommy look the same. Daddy pretty!" Pickle's replied.
"Very pretty." Cheat added mentally more for me to hear.
"Well, thank you." I said warmly, taking the wheel back from Cheat.
Pickles proceed to climb up and onto my back. "Are you gonna play?"
"Of course." I said warmly. "What do you want to play?"
"I wanna play princess." She said.
"Sure." I said with a smile, knowing it'll hurt my masculinity a bit but ot\s for my adorable daughter.
"Button I've both made and been there to see you scream when enjoying the other organ you have, thanks to me, and those were in no way masculine."
"I will make Vengeance into the head symbiote if you don't stop sassing me." I mentally countered readily.
"That's fine. I could always move to the vagina and help make sure you make those rather feminine screams~"
"Why are you all red Daddy?" Pickles asked.
"I will personally kick you out of me, Cheat." I told her. "Don't worry about it Pickles." I said softly.
"No you won't. Now, how do you even play Princess?"
For the next two hours or so I played Princess with Pickles. It mostly consisted of me using magic or my wings to make her feel like an alicorn herself, since she was an earth pony she enjoyed it greatly, all the way until she tuckered out. Once she did, I tucked her in bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Maybe this won't be so bad after all…
I left her room and quietly closed the door.
"That was nice." I thought warmly.
"And you're all worried about being a good father."
"It can be a fluke, just a lucky chance for me with Pickles…" I mentally sighed.
"You have way too little faith in yourself."
"Am I supposed to have faith in myself?"
"You do when in bed, just bring that out into other stuff and you're golden."
"Eh. So, who's next?"
"TRAINING COMPLETED. YOU HAVE ALL PASSED." Linn announced as we wrapped up another training day of being shot at with high penetration bullets. I won't lie, I have definitely gotten faster. Even fully armored I can move about as fast as AJ.
"Finally…" I sighed. "Another successful day."
"At least we only got shot a few times today." AJ sighed, the two of us walked down the hallway together as Hugo already ran off to do his own thing. AJ and I got along well.
"Yeah…a lot better than our first class." I said honestly.
"How's home life been?"
I nodded, it's been a month since the New Foundation moved in and all in all, things have been quiet and calm. Still not completely used to it but at least at home I'm not constantly listening for a hunter or something anymore.
"Quiet, but that's fine." I shrugged.
"That's good. How about the Breeders? Their training help them learn skills for work?"
"Yes, thankfully they have been taking all the training well and are…at least, a little less…egregious."
"Still trying to get you to hump them every second of every day though huh?" AJ asked as I nodded. "Even Lola?"
"Well, Lola is more in control of herself than the others…so every three days."
"Ah. Well at least that's… marginally better." AJ said. "She still breaks your hips though huh?"
I sighed… were she not that huge it wouldn't be much of an issue…
"Sadly…" I shook my head.
"Yikes."
We walked to one of the cafeterias. We usually get something small to snack on and then I go home.
I got a slushie and he got a coffee.
"So, what about the kids?"
"They're all doing great, thankfully I'm at least a competent dad."
"That's nice. At least you seem more confident about it than before,"
"Well…I have to be for them." I said honestly.
"Fair. At least you got a family to go back to, my place is empty."
"Really?" I inquired. "I know your mom is a Warden and your dad is…well, your dad, but I'm surprised you don't have anyone around."
"Eh, being the son of one of the most deadly SCP monsters in containment doesn't exactly net you many friends. Plus, I'm not too keen on adopting a Breeder…"
"I'm not keen either…" I sighed. "I still hate how I needed the Breeders…but it was necessary, and it keeps them safe from deplorable people."
"Yeah. Better you than some asshole." AJ nodded.
"Yeah…and from what I've learned…those people are horrible."
"I can imagine. I've read a few reports on raids of their bases. Worst part is having to keep the owned ones in stasis."
"Oh…that's awful…" I said nervously.
AJ nodded, taking a swig of his coffee. "Owned Breeders like yours, as you know, are beyond loyal to their owners. Should their owner vanish, they will search for them endlessly, oftentimes wandering right into and through danger they can't handle to find them. So, after Brenda escaped it became standard protocol to put all Breeders into stasis. Asleep until we can help them. Even resetting them and giving them new owners would be better than the fate they have without…"
"Seriously, whoever came up with Breeder's needs to get shot in the dick." I said honestly. "Repeatedly…Mother almighty…" I groaned, drinking from my nice slushie.
"Whatever the case, we can just hope there's some mercy we can find a way to help them, otherwise… they might be stuck that way forever."
"Yeah…I thought I could use my Dark Skill tree's to do…something…but then I'm told by said Dark Skill Tree's to get fucked." I frowned.
We finished our drinks and then I went home. Let's see… today, Lilly, Jackie, Meg, Haley, Kara and Lola are all at work still, meaning Beth, Karla, Grace, Zion, Kiara and Carley are home right now… And so are Sweetie and Maud given they're pregnant and have yet to acquire jobs.
"There are…so many people to talk to and spend time with…" I sighed, hating this one draw back to having a harem and so many kids is that I don't really have much time for everyone.
I opened the door and was immediately greeted by Lola, who picked me up and gave me a kiss. "Welcome home Master Button." She said, placing me down. "How was training?"
"It was fine, how are you doing Lola?" I asked with a smile.
"I am well, I have helped Philomina cook and clean, tended to the young, calmed Pickles when she woke up from a bad dream and managed to sell off some of my milk for two thousand rem."
"That's good." I nodded. "Sounds like you had an eventful day."
"It was fine. The others are currently tending to and nursing the infants, Maud and Sweetie are at a check up for their pregnancies, and everyone else is currently at work." Lola said, giving me another kiss.
"That's good." I nodded. "Just glad everything's going well right now…still wish I could do…something more."
"You do more than enough Master Button." Lola said, nuzzling my nose. "Do you need help relaxing?"
"Well…yeah, getting some relaxing would help."
"Alright then, anything in particular or would you prefer a surprise~?" Lola asked, giving my nose a playful tap.
"Let's keep it a surprise." I said as I counter booped Lola.
Happily she picked me up and quickly made her way to the bedroom, then to my surprise, the bathroom and started a shower.
A very clean-unclean-clean shower later Lola and I were out, still kissing a she dropped us both to the bed and practically tucked me between her top knockers. "Hehe, that was fun for you Master Button?" She asked.
"Yes, yes it was." I said with a smile. "At least this time my hips are still intact…"
"Heh, yeah… and again, sorry for the tongue thing when I… put it up there… then up there… then almost swallowing you when we were…" We blushed… But I didn't stop her for a reason…
"Well…it was certainly an experience I will say." I said honestly.
"Shall we cuddle here while you enjoy my bosoms as your bed?"
"Yes please." I said happily, enjoying said bosoms happily.
"Heh, TV on or off?"
Hmm, Armageddon TV was pretty different from normal TV, but there was some interesting stuff on.
"Well, maybe." I said honestly.
With a nod she turned on the TV. Felt kinda nostalgic seeing a TV be turned on with a remote control. Lola flipped channels until there was a documentary about a different zone and we laid there watching.
About an hour in I felt sleepy and began to nod off. After all, I had a very soft, warm, squishy mattress ~
I found myself back in my old house now… wait a minute -
"Hi Button." I looked down and saw Armageddon, still looking like foal me and playing on my old console sitting on the floor.
"Hey there Armageddon." I said honestly, walking over and sitting down next to them. "How have you been?"
"Okay. Kinda bored." They shrugged. "You're doing well."
"Well…better than I was before." I sighed. "So, what you playing?"
"Legend of Zelda." They replied. Wow, this is all pixels. Definitely not the ones I've gotten to play. Older most likely. "It's fun."
"Glad you're having fun." I nodded. "So, did you want to talk about something?"
"... Well, kinda?"
"What do you mean?" I inquired. "Like, me being here just, randomly happens?"
"No, I brought your sleeping mind here it's just… I wanna tell you stuff, but I know if I do it will make dad mad. He says I'm not supposed to tell people stuff because it's against the rules."
"So? Do these rules matter?" I asked, cause I have currently been told and shown that 'Rules' don't really fucking matter on this planet.
"He says they do. Says no one in The Family can break the Rules of Good and Evil, otherwise something really bad might happen…"
"So, everything that I've seen, everything that I've experienced, and everything that I've been told, is within these 'rules'? Is he smoking something beyond this reality cause I'm calling bullshit."
"Dad doesn't smoke… or eat… sometimes drinks but usually Orange Juice. But yes, everything on Armageddon is within the rules."
"And what 'rules' are there that allows…literally anything on this planet to happen?" I asked. "Blatant disregard for anything, where the only thing keeping anyone from becoming a horrible person is based on will and morals…how is that within the rules?"
"Uh… I don't know them all, but one was something like this… 'Good and Evil have no Free Will." I actually blinked at that. "Good and Evil shall be slaves to fate, and only those with free will shall be those who… uh, I can't remember the rest?" Armageddon said, scratching the back of their head.
"So…basically what that means is…who cares, be as good or as evil as you want, it'll all sort itself out…" I said slowly/
"I don't think so?" Armageddon replied. "I think there was a story with that rule but I can't remember… something about… unchecked good and evil being bad?"
"So…make a planet with unchecked evil…got it." I said, so absolutely lost and flabbergasted as to what I'm hearing.
"No, dad checks all the evil going on."
I'm even more lost here. "So…he checks all the evil going on…but everything that's been going on is still a-okay…somehow." I said carefully, trying to fathom half of this shit.
"Yes." Armageddon said with a nod. "He also says the new arrivals make things more complicated."
"I mean, completely unregulated systems turning people into Breeders which is absolutely horrific, experiments on weapons and materials that could destroy anything in it's path, a guild that is nothing but a merciless band of barbarian's on a quest to coat this entire planet in blood, all of that is fine, but people being kidnapped, that's the line he draws." I rolled my eyes.
Oh
"No, not that. People like you and Lovely."
"Wait, what?" I blinked. "What do you mean? Cause…Lovely was just…dropped here somehow, sure she's an Isekai like me but…"
"I dunno, but dad says that you all aren't even supposed to be here yet, or in this reality… or something. Makes keeping the checks in order harder. Or something like that."
"Uh…" I frowned. "I…don't like the sound of that…" I said nervously. "So…your telling me I'm…not even supposed to exist in this reality?"
"Parallel and reflection versions of you that were born here, yeah sure, but you specifically, no. That is why they call you all Isekai. Or Displaced. Not supposed to be here but they can't send you back because something isn't ready or someone was causing trouble where you're from."
"So…that's…not good at all." I said carefully.
"I know, but, you're here now, and with a big family. Oh, that reminds me… I shouldn't tell you this… but I'm gonna." The little foal turned to look at me now. "Head to Tendeacovor."
"Tendeacovor, got it." I nodded. "Wherever the hell that is."
"It's a kingdom owned by the Chaos Guilds. There is… someone there, they can help your Breeders."
"And that's if they don't immediately try to murder me on sight cause besides some people that just want to try and live a normal-ish life, the most I've heard about Chaos Guild's is that their a massive pack of insane people that can and will do whatever they want cause who's going to stop them?"
"It's home to a Hacker."
"And…you're saying they won't immediately try to bail on me when I show up?"
"Not as long as you bring Kara."
"Why Kara?" I inquired, finding that a little…wait a second. "Wait! You…you can't be serious…" I said, my eyes widening as I realized who this mystery hacker might be.
"I can't say anything more, just be careful whenever you do go okay?"
"I'll probably given the hardest 'No' on this planet if I even mention heading there." I brought up. "But hopefully I can get there with Kara without too much issue."
"Take your time okay? It will be best if you finish training and get more experience dealing with Nexus before trying. Otherwise, you might end up like her."
I shivered at that idea…
"Yeah, I don't want that to happen." I said nervously.
I woke up back in the comfy bosoms of Lola, who herself was now asleep as the TV played some other show.
Okay, I have a goal, long term goal, just need to be careful and work my way there… after way more training…
I sighed, trying to think of how to go about this. "This is gonna suck…" I muttered. "But hopefully it'll all work out…"
I stayed there with Lola for a while and when she woke up she pulled me out and placed me into the mattress. "I should go tend to the babies now. I imagine some of the others are home now and they'll probably want attention as well."
"I'm sure they will." I nodded, getting out of bed and stretching.
Lola slithered off and I went to find- "Master!" I yelped as Carley scooped me up back into some bosoms and plant a kiss on me. Ah yes, I would run into Carley first. "Would you like me to pleasure you Master?"
"Hmm, well first, how are you doing?" I asked Carley simply.
"I am well. Some doctors say my babies are growing healthy and I have been enjoying punching that punching bag you gave me." Ah… I thought her arm strength was more. Thank God I buffed up too otherwise I think she might have bruised my ribs… and spine.
"That's good to hear." I said with a smile. "And I'm glad your doing well with your new punching bag."
"Oh yes it's very fun. I like to imagine it's some pathetic unworthy scum who thought they could hurt you." She said, smiling even though her tone dropped to… scary, just a bit in that sentence.
"Uh…yeah that's cool." I said nervously.
"Would you like for me to please you now?"
"Sure." I nodded. "Let's have some fun."
With a huge smile she carried me back to the bedroom, closed the door and we had our fun. When it was done she slithered off satisfied. Before I could get off the bed however, Meg entered, closing it behind her and once I saw it was her put my mask on.
"May I have a turn next Master?"
… There's a line of them outside that door… isn't there?
"Just…all of you get in here." I called out.
They obliged. Happily.
Not sure how long that lasted but when it was finally done and they were all happy and satisfied I was taking a shower. Questioning if the smell of milk and other fluids would ever wash out of my coat. I was also glad my training helped translate into other uses. Last time I did it with all to most all of them like that I slept for almost two days and wasn't producing soldiers for three.
Wonder if it would be easier if Dad teaches me that shrink spell… most of the challenge is the fact they're way larger than I am… but then again that's also a lot of the fun…
"Curse you conflicting fetishes!" I whined.
After several scrubs and almost a quarter of shampoo later I was clean enough that I got out, dried off and headed to the living room where Sweetie was reading a book on the couch.
I collapsed onto it next to her.
"Sounds like the girls kept you busy." Sweetie said.
"Yes…yes they did…" I sighed.
"At least you didn't immediately pass out like last time."
"Yes, that is true." I nodded. "So, how've you been?"
"I'm good. The doctor said our foal is going to be a cyborg." She said, pulling a hoof of mine with her magic to her small bulge on her belly. "Too soon to determine gender yet."
"I'm just happy it's happening." I said honestly.
"I also brought Scootaborg over to Kilpulu's shop. He said he can work and try and make her less.. Robot."
Huh. I forgot he still has his Shop here. Greed being a fairly neutral chaos Guild, he was allowed to keep his shop here, but no more rent payments which he didn't care about.
"It's…also bad that I kinda forgot about…the main reason why we came here was because of Scottaborg…"
"And me. Still haven't gotten all my upgrades either." Sweetie added.
Right…
"Oh…" I sighed. "There's…been too much going on…"
"I'm not mad Button. But I guess at some point we should try and find them again. Plus the Apple Bot too. Then you have all the CMC bots as your harem mates~" She teased.
Honestly I feel like I might have enough. Twelve Breeders, plus Cream and Philomena as my Lovers, and Maud, Cheat and Sweetie… seventeen ladies to tend to. No idea how or even why some people have them in the hundreds… or those two nutjobs who got literal thousands… damn, that happened… a little before we came here if I remember.
"I think eighteen is enough and…I don't know how some people have thousands…and seriously, it's weird how I learned that like…just a little bit after I got here…"
"Hmm, it's probably much easier when not all the the harem mates have… special needs, like those twelve." Sweetie noted.
I nodded… where it not for their needs it honestly would be much more manageable. At least Lola helps but even she needs those met.
Wonder if I can find a means of keeping everyone happy and still go off and do what I need to do?
"Is there a way to…keep everyone happy while also doing…what I need to do? Like train and work and all that?"
"Maybe an ability but I don't really know." Sweetie shrugged.
"I'll have to ask around…" I said honestly.
I moved up a bit and put my head on Sweetie's lap and laid there with her while she read. As night came around we all ate dinner and soon everyone was heading to bed.
I stayed in the living room trying to think of something. There just has to be a way, something I'm missing…
With nothing else to do I checked my Dark Skill Trees.
"Let's see what bullshit I forced on myself today…" I thought bitterly.
I was looking through the branches… okay, so far nothing new… that is good at least. Hmm…
Well, at least I haven't done anything new worthy of some horrible new power.
Now into the regular skill trees.
Hmm, not many Skill Points… ten left. Hmm… let's see what to put these into… no, no… nah… no… hmm… maybe? Ugh, so many options so little to spend.
Hello?
[Symbiote Host Skill Tree]
Well that feels new but something tells me it ain't…
"Okay…so what the hell is going on here?" I wondered.
"What, that?" Cheat asked. "You got that when you added the newbies to your body."
"Cause of course I just got it…" I muttered.
I checked it out. So far it's mostly stuff for helping me acquire more, some stuff here and there and- what the?
[Symbiote Mind: This ability changes your brain to act and physically be a Symbiote that can be independent of your original body. This ability is useful in avoiding death and can allow you to enter another's body and experience Symbiote uses. Any existing symbiotes in your original body should you leave it can take it over until you return.]
"Okay that sounds cool. You could see what it's like to be me!"
"So…I can go off and do what I want while you all keep my body under control…sounds neat."
"Well, yes but you'll be a Symbiote. You'll still need a host body to move around. Unless you enjoy the sensation of suffocating due to no lungs, blood or other organs."
Crap… still, it can be very useful…
"Well…I suppose that works…" I muttered, deciding to take such a thing.
I immediately felt… different. Still felt like me just felt… different. Hmm… wonder how this works?
Maybe I can… hmm… I'll need someone else to help me test this…
I got up and wondered who was still up and could possibly help me this late at night-
"Hey Button?" Turning to the hallway I ran into Cream. "How come you're still up?"
"Hey Cream, mind if I do a test with a new skill I got?" I inquired.
"Uh, sure?"
"Alright." I nodded, as I put a hoof on her as I tried to use the new Symbiote Mind skill on her, really hoping this works and doesn't make me look weird…or, weirder.
"Don't force it. Just relax and let it flow naturally. Think of it like falling asleep, once you get that falling feeling just let it take you." Cheat added.
I did, taking a few deep breaths before I felt like I was falling… don't jolt… let it- Woah!
Suddenly I was looking at my own body. I could feel… everything, all of Creams body, her coat her breathing, her blood and heart pumping her muscles and I could hear her think!
"Wonder what this is about? Is he giving me a Symbiote? No, that can't be it, so who or what was that brown blob that went inside me?" I heard Cream's inner thoughts… woah…
"Well…this is new." I said inside of Cream.
"Ah!" Cream yelped as my voice in her head was definitely a surprise. "Button?! What, h- that blob was you? Explain yourself!" She pointed a hoof at my body, then at herself.
"Simple." My body replied, Cheat having taken control while I'm out. "Button is now part symbiote. Got a special skill tree for having four of us in him, and now he's gained the ability to experience it as we do."
"Woah… so, wow… how's it feel being in the back seat like this Button?" Cream asked.
"Your teats have gotten heavier." I immediately pointed out, not sure what to really say with all these new sensations of another going through me.
"I am still lactating. And will be for a while longer." Cream huffed. "Plus some… Motherhood Skills… abilities…"
Cheat laughed. "Wow, so Button really is in there?" She said, looking deep into Cream's eyes. "Cool. Can ya feel this?" Cheat then kissed Cream… me? Us?
Cream backed up. "Cheat!"
"What? Not like I'm not usually there when you two kiss and I'm on the back burner." Cheat chuckled.
"Well… true but, woah… this is confusing…"
"Yes…it's very confusing." I agreed.
"So, wanna Fuck?" Cheat asked
"What?" Cream replied.
"Come on, toys aside when is Button gonna experience it the other way? Silicone ain't got nothing on the real deal!"
"I mean…" I felt Cream blush as her heart began racing and certain other parts… I recognize that feeling… "It's Button's call. I'll even give him control if he says he's up for it."
… Okay, do I keep what manhood I still have or embrace my ever growing curiosity and horny…
"Ugh, why must you people hurt what manhood I still have?"
"So… is that a yes?" Cream asked.
"Fine…whatever." I grumbled.
"He said yes." Cream said.
"Awesome!" Cheat cheered. "Now Cream, Button, I'll teach you how to swap control now. Firstly, imagine you're both in front of a TV. Now imagine there's a controller, a game controller if it helps Button, in Cream's hooves. Cream, relax and when you feel a tug, don't fight it. Button, you imagine gently taking the controller from Cream. Okay?"
Cream nodded. Envisioning the scenario was actually really easy. Carefully I took the controller from Cream who let me take it and-
I blinked, feeling myself in control of Cream's body… wow… huh… I feel so… light. Small even.
"Woah, so this is the backseat?" Cream commented. "Weird. Kinda neat though."
"Okay…this is extra weird…" I said. Speaking in Cream's voice was even… weirder.
"Cool, now, let's take this to the couch." Cheat proclaimed.
I woke up feeling… sore… in a whole different way than I was used to. I felt… stuffed, a bit bloated, sticky and… oddly, very happy. Like when you have a good stretch…
I felt hooves wrapped around me as well as wings… right…
I blinked my eyes open. Or rather, Cream's eyes. I'm still in her body… Cream passed out… around two am…. And Cheat and I kept going… ugh… damn I… ugh, I hate that despite it all I felt good. Amazing even! Cheat was right, silicone has nothing on the real deal… still can't believe how… wild I got after…
What's worse is I feel like I want another go…
Crap… so, does this make me bi? I mean… I've kinda been denying that ever since Cheat merged the body she got with mine but… agh… damn…
Also I'm liking being the little spoon here…
Why does my mouth- Right… right… I went all out…
"Well…this is nice…" I thought to myself.
Hmm… Cream is still out cold and Cheat is spooning me tight… I took a deep breath and just… relaxed. Honestly, this is the first time in… the years we've been on this planet I've actually felt content… happy and satisfied. Wonder if this is how I make them feel when we-?
"Yes, yes it is." Cream said as their consciousness woke up. "Wow my body feels sore and… how long did you two go after I passed out?"
"Yes." I answered.
"Well, given how full I feel and how… oof- yeah, definitely knocked up again… Think this makes Cheat the father though…?"
"I mean, it's still my body, my genetics, the skill said that the other symbiotes just keep the body moving." I explained.
"True but that body is half yours half the one Cheat had before merged with yours. But, eh, at this point I'm still a bit high on afterglow to care that much…"
"Yeah, I know." I agreed. "This was nice and I don't like that…it's cool that I liked it but…come on…"
"Oh get over it you. Just enjoy the feeling and hey, if you end up pregnant with one of our foals or a new members child then congratulations."
"Fine fine…" I sighed. "But I have things to do and plan…a very dangerous thing to plan, but it's really important."
"... What dangerous thing?"
"So I talked to Armageddon again." I said nervously. "And…well, currently, their father told him that people like me and Lovely…either shouldn't be here yet…or be here at all…and also someone I need to find in the capital of the Chaos Guilds." I said, thinking if I mention me supposedly not supposed to exist here it would somehow dampen the fact that I need to head to possibly the second most dangerous place on this planet.
"And… you aren't planning on leaving soon, right?"
"They said to wait till training was over, which that should be ending soon." I said honestly. "Besides…I maybe have a friend there technically because of one of the breeders."
"Button…"
"This person can help fix the Breeders." I told her. "I was planning on telling the big boss about this so I could head there…I know you all worry about me, but this is quite literally something that can change everything…"
"I understand that, but you're talking about one of the most dangerous places on this planet! You could go in there and never return! You could be killed and respawned Mother knows where, or captured and tortured or turning into a Breeder yourself!"
"That's why they recommended it after I finished my training." I answered. "Plus…there's someone there that can help, and they're tied to one of the breeders here…I know it's dangerous, but the planet literally gave me a heading on where to go…and considering some of the Crazies kidnapping people and bringing them here, maybe some will protect me if I say it was an order from the planet?"
"I doubt these nut jobs will listen to reason or even someone saying crap like that. Not to mention that these are Hackers Button! They're basically Admins! One wrong step and you and whoever you plan on dragging with you could be gone forever!"
"I know…but it's better than nothing, and I'd tell you more, but I am literally incapable of it cause Greed is a cunt." I told her, wishing I could tell her about Kara and the guy that turned her into a Breeder but kept her love for art intact.
"I won't just sit here while you go risking your life recklessly Button."
"And when will it not be 'reckless'? Never? I have a chance to actually start fixing this shit, even by a little bit, and you're telling me that either I should not do it or I should watch as you risk your own life because of something I want to do?"
"I want you to stop acting like you have to do it all alone!"
"And I'm not doing it alone."
"You're symbiotes don't count."
"Technically I might be blackmailing a Hacker…" I admitted sheepishly.
"H- Do you even hear yourself?!"
"Yes, but Kara is involved with this, and I'd love to explain how, but I can't cause, again, Greed doesn't let me speak of something that I know cause it's 'mine' and only 'mine'...cause when actual crucial information needs to be talked about, it just needs to be silenced…"
"Agh! Out!"
I managed to quickly move back to my body, and once I was I got up again and Cream rolls out from my hooves and wobbly stood on her hooves. "I- I… holy shit you two royally fucked my ass… literally!" She huffed, trying to walk only to plot to her flanks. "Ugh!"
"You're welcome." I said with a shit eating grin.
"I don't approve of this…" Cream growled. "I never will. I'll never just be happy you're trying to do this… even if you do make it back…"
"I still think you missed the part where I said after my training right?" I pointed out.
"That doesn't make me feel better! That doesn't mean you still won't be in danger! That doesn't mean you'll come home! It just means there's only so much time til you leave and… I'll, we all will just be here wondering if you'll come back… you could be gone for months. Years. Centuries even! And we'll just be waiting when for all we know you got captured, reprogrammed and are spending eternity fucking some asshole because you got turned into a Breeder!" Cream screamed. Tears flooding her eyes. "I want to know you'll always come home…"
"Do you, honestly, think I wouldn't come back home?" I asked her. "After everytime I went out to fight all those zombies, always went out at night to make sure we had enough resources for both rent and for all of us…did you believe I wouldn't have come back?"
"Zombies are one thing Button… the monsters don't scare me. I know you can fight them easily. Effortlessly… it's people I'm terrified of. It's people who I'm worried will take you away."
I got up, a little wobbly but I got up nonetheless, and moved over and hugged Cream. "You'll never lose me Cream, I promise."
"I need more than your word Button…" Cream said, hugging me back. "I need proof…"
"Well, I can't really give you proof if I still need to go through training, and haven't even gone there yet." I brought up.
"Proof. First." Cream said, crying. "Something so I can know… know you're okay while you're gone… than you will make it back…"
"I was going to talk to some of the higher ups if there's some magical cloning skill I can use to keep you all happy…cause I want all of you to be happy, but I'm just one me."
Cream actually managed a chuckle, a small, snotty one. "I don't need a clone, I need you. We all do…"
I wanted to speak more but… wait what's that-
Crash!
Thud!
"Son of a fucking bitch!" Cream and I backed up, I summoned out Vengeance in blade form and held them in magic floating next to me. Someone crashed through our ceiling.
When the dust cleared I spotted them. A spikey haired blonde woman with a… large chest and wearing Time Walkers cloak was pulling herself out of the partial hole in the floor. "Last time I do that… assholes really shot me all the way here." She growled.
"Uh…hi there ma'am." I said nervously. "Who are you, what's a Time Walker doing here…and why specifically did people throw you in here?"
"Shot me out of a cannon actually." She replied, pulling herself out of the hole and dusting herself out. "Note to self, don't make jokes like 'send me there via cannon if you have to' when your superiors are all assholes!" She said, screaming the last part through the hole in the ceiling that was starting to self repair along with the crater in the floor. "As for who I am, the name is Katsuki Bakugou. Former mayor of the city of Candlelight."
"Oh yeah, I think I heard something about that Town before we got here." I said honestly. "Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Button Mash, this is Cream Heart…"
"I know who you are." She hugged, stretching and popping her joints and neck. "Part of why I had them send me here first."
"Uh…huh…" I said. "So…are you here to help me in something specific, tell me I'm breaking rules, or what?"
"Pst, kid if I gave a damn about rules I'd never have become a mayor." … What? "No, I'm, well, I'm kinda here to help you. Friend of mine should be getting here sooner or later. He's really help you out when he does. Can't miss him. But where is…" She looked around. "Where's the pink one… uh, the Pegasus?"
"Tiara?" Cream asked. "She should be on look out duty… why?"
"Oh cause of this." Katsuki summoned one of those special Time Walker Keyblades. "She's been selected."
"Uh…and what do you mean by that?" I asked carefully.
"I… think she just said Diamond Tiara is going to be a Time Walker…" Cream spoke up.
"That's right." Katsuki said. "Gotta hand this over to her and do some basic training for the filly who's gonna replace me."
"Replace you?" I asked, confused as I thought Time Walkers was a permanent job or something like that.
"Oh, yeah, I'm gonna die soonish." She shrugged.
"Excuse me what?" I asked in shock. "That's…uh…wow."
"Eh, don't feel bad, I've been waiting for this day to come for a long time and now that it's nearing I gotta do some stuff and finish some stuff before I get to kick the bucket and everyone who ever knew or met me forgets me." She said, heading to the door and walking out. "Oh and before I forget Mutton Bash-"
"Button Mash." I corrected.
"Whatever you're gonna need this." She reached into her cloak and tossed me a rolled up paper. "And this." She threw a Keyblade at me. Not like hers but different, bit more key shaped with a star at the tip as the teeth. "And this." She then tossed me a necklace with a heart shaped pendant. "And now to find that pink Pegasus and Introduce her to the hell that is The Time Walkers and bureaucratic paperwork!" She then ran off.
"I feel immeasurable pity for Tiara…" I shook my head. "But they better not kidnap her for their job, she's my girlfriend damn it."
"That was… weird, right?" Cream asked, poking at my new Keyblade. "I think this one is called Starlight if I remember correctly?"
"Yes, this was very weird, and…I believe so, yes." I nodded.
I picked up the Keyblade, it vanishing and then reappearing in my teeth… huh. Cool.
I managed to disband it then picked up the locket. When I did, it then started pulsating like a heartbeat… okay?
I put that down then opened the scroll… no… fucking…way…
[Artificial Respawn Anchor V9.7]
"Uh…so this is…an artificial respawn anchor…" I said in awe.
"Wait really?!" Cream said as she looked at the scroll, now appearing to be a Blueprint for the device. "This…" She pushed me. "You are so lucky…"
I just laughed.
"Yes, yes I am." I laughed.
"I demand to be washed by you. You and Cheat made a mess of my holes so you better clean them!"
I just kept laughing. Finally… a win.
