Snippet 30- The Lengths I'll Go To Protect Her

Timeline- After Episode 43 of 'The Misadventures of Hyperdimension Peashy', but before 'Law & Order: Leanbox- Guilt Tripped'.

WARNING: Some Iris Heart naughtiness in this snippet. Proceed with caution...

*In a forest in Ultradimension Leanbox...*

Chika Hakozaki, half-sister of Leanbox's CPU, gasped and panted as she ran for her life. Despite her terror, however, fatigue eventually caught up with the greenette, leaning back against a large tree as she tried to catch her breath... (This *can't* be happening to me! What did I do to deserve THIS?!)

"Chika..." a sultry voice echoed through the woods. "You've been such a naughty girl... come out and accept your punishment..." Chika let out a squeak, crouching down as she quaked in fear...

"Plutia, don't you dare!" a refined voice called out. "Chika, where are you?!"

(Vert! Vert's come to help me!) Chika thought in mild relief, standing up with hands braced against the bark... hearing a rustling nearby, she peered around the tree...

A pair of red power-symbol eyes met hers. "There you are~"

Chika let out a bloodcurdling shriek as Iris Heart emerged from the darkness, turning to flee- only for a whip to catch her around the ankle, causing her to fall flat on her face! Iris Heart began to reel her in, Chika turning onto her back... "No, NO! VERT, SAVE MEEEE!"

"Sylhet Spear!" Iris was forced to let go of the whip and fly upward to dodge the massive lance, which imbedded itself in the tree, Green Heart flying into view a moment later. "Chika, run! I'll hold her off as long as I can!"

"Thank you!" Chika gasped out, as she scrambled to her feet and fled into the brush.

"Now why did you have to interfere?" Plutia said with a miffed expression, summoning her sword. "You and I both know she needs to be spanked for what she did..."

"Not your kind of spanking!" Vert shot back, holding her spear at the ready. "Chika is MY sister, thus any discipline of her should be left to me alone!"

"She dared to bring up my family while disparaging me behind my back. That's a very sensitive topic, not something I can just let go!" Iris Heart growled.

"I still say it doesn't justify your usual punishment!" Green Heart retorted. "If you won't stand down..."

"Oh, Vert, you don't remember what happened last time? And I was holding back," Iris Heart warned her fellow goddess. "Do you really want to subject yourself to this?"

"Under normal circumstances, I would not," Vert admitted. "But I won't let you lay a finger on my precious sister! I'll do whatever it takes to protect her from you!"

"Your funeral~" Iris shrugged, before suddenly charging forward with her sword out, piercing Green Heart's wing and shattering it! As the CPU fell to the ground, Iris called out "Thunder!", zapping her with an electrical discharge! "There, that should keep you out of my hair~ And now for little Chika..." She turned and flew off in the direction that Chika had fled.

"Argh...!" Green Heart grunted with teeth gritted, slowly pulling herself to her feet. (No...! Can't let her... hurt Chika...!) Dismissing her wrecked processor wings, Vert managed to shrug off the Thunder attack, pursuing Plutia on foot...

*Deeper in the forest...*

"Chika, where are yooooou~?"

Chika barely managed to force down another shriek as she took off again, forcing her way through branches and brush, nearly out of her mind with terror at this point... (Did Vert already lose...?! Oh please don't let her find me!) But then she tripped, putting her hands out in front to break her fall-

-only for her arms plunge into the earth up to her elbows! (Eww, a mud puddle!) she thought in disgust, feeling said mud starting to soak into her dress... (Ugh, gotta keep moving!) she thought shifting to stand up- only for her legs to be swallowed by the mud, feeling nothing solid underneath! "What the...?!" She managed to pull her arms free, only to feel herself sink to her waist in the sludge! "Oh NO! Not quicksand!" She tried to twist back in the opposite direction, only to see that the grass indicating solid ground was far out of reach, the quicksand slowly swallowing her ribcage! "No! Help! HELP ME!" she wailed, waving her mud-covered arms over her head...

Only for her heart to drop into her stomach as Iris Heart emerged into the clearing. "Oh my... you're in quite the pickle now, aren't you~? See, if you had just submitted to your punishment, this wouldn't have happened..." She dismissed her sword as she floated closer, just out of the greenette's reach. "Now what should I do... pull you out, or watch you sink~?"

"Noooo!" was all Chika could get out as the mud fondled her chest, causing her to shiver in disgust. But then a whip snapped around her right wrist, halting her descent.

"Then again, you won't learn anything if you smother in the quicksand, now will you?" Iris Heart smirked. "Perhaps I'll just pull you to the shallow part, and then we can have some fun in the mud together~" With that, she began pulling, Chika moving forward a little, her ribcage and waist emerging from the muck...

"No...!" Chika squeezed her eyes shut in denial, hoping against hope to wake up from this nightmare... (Somebody help me...!)

"Sylhet Spear!" This time Iris Heart was nailed dead-on, causing her to fly forward and crash into the tree branches on the other side! Green Heart came into view a moment later, slightly scratched up from the brush. "Chika!"

"Oh, Vert...!" Chika sighed in relief... only to feel the mud begin to fondle her bosom once more as she sank back down! "NO! I'm sinking! HELP!"

"I'm coming!" Green Heart yelled as she ran to the edge of the pit... (It's no good, I won't be able to reach her with my spear...) Left with no other option, the HDD CPU stepped into the muck, thrusting the blunt end of her spear into the sludge in front of her sister...

"What are you doing?!" Chika gasped.

"Try to use my spear as a lever! Get it under your legs!" Green Heart instructed. So Chika plunged her arms back into the mud, maneuvering said spear under her groin, Vert then straining to lift up, even though the effort caused her to sink rapidly... Chika's stomach emerged, then her waist... "Okay, try to lie down flat and crawl forward!"

"Ugh!" Chika grunted in disgust as she fell forward, half-crawling, half-swimming forward... she managed to kick her legs free, now lying atop the quicksand's surface, pulling herself along until Vert was able to grab her hands, pulling her into an awkward embrace! "Oh thank you, sister...!" she gasped in relief...

"I wouldn't thank her just yet..." The sisters looked up to see Iris Heart floating above them, looking quite irritated. "You really are an annoyance, Vert... seems you want to share your sister's punishment~"

"What do we do?!" Chika squeaked in terror.

"This!" Green Heart grunted, adrenaline surging through her as she lifted her sister over her head and hurled her onto terra firma! "Run for it!" Chika promptly got her feet under her and took off into the woods...

"You're not getting away!" Iris Heart taunted as she flew after the greenette- only for Green Heart's spear to fly true and shatter one of her processor wings, causing the dominatrix to tumble awkwardly to the ground! She gritted her teeth in frustration as she picked herself back up... "Oh, Vert, you're really getting me angry... that's not very wise..."

"I don't care!" Green Heart shot back as she tried to dig herself out of the quicksand to no avail. "And your mother was a whore who wore army boots!"

That struck Plutia to her very core. "...How dare you... Even if what you said was true, I can't let that slide..." She turned to Vert with a very angry expression. "If you intended to get yourself tortured in your sister's place, congratulations, you succeeded." She slowly marched toward the trapped CPU, summoning a riding crop to her hand...

"D... D-d-do your worst!" Green Heart shot back defiantly, trying to put on a brave face... and failing miserably.

"Oh no, my dear sweet Vert..." Iris smirked, deliberately stepping into the quicksand, sinking to her hips as she made her way out to Vert, towering over her... gripping the woman's chin with her free hand, she stated, "For you, Vert... you're going to get my very best." With that, her riding crop lashed against her fellow CPU's shoulder, Iris Heart working herself down to Vert's level, gripping the back of her head with her hand as she pulled her into an aggressive kiss, the wet, sucking quicksand lapping at their bosoms...

*Back with Chika...*

Her lungs were burning, her legs feeling like jelly, her vision clouded from fatigue... (Did I get away...? Did Vert... stop her somehow...?) She suddenly fell into a ditch, dirty water splashing about her... while under normal circumstances she would've been disgusted, she barely cared now, pulling herself up the other side with her arms...

(A road,) her mind comprehended. (I'm... out of the forest...) She collapsed, panting heavily, unable to go on any further... (Please let a car see me...)

And then, as if to answer her prayers, she heard a vehicle coming up, slowing to a stop, a door opening... "Chika! Oh my goddess, are you okay?!" She felt herself being picked up, suddenly seeing a face like her sister's expect with a few wrinkles. "Say something, Chika!"

"Miss... Natalia...?" Chika realized. "Thank goodness..."

"Chika, what happened? You're all covered in mud!" Natalia fretted over the young girl. "Well, it doesn't look like Iris Heart got to you, at least..."

"Vert... she saved me..." Chika gasped out. "I fell in... quicksand... she got me out... but Iris Heart... she tried to chase me... I think Vert... broke her wings..."

"But... Plutia could have caught you even without her wings..." Natalia mused. "Unless..." she gasped as a horrifying thought came to her. "No... not my daughter...!" Just then, they heard a scream- no, two screams, one of ecstasy, another a mix of agony and pleasure... "NO...!" Natalia gasped, having her worst fear all but confirmed.

"Oh, Vert..." Chika began to cry. "To sacrifice yourself... for my sake... I didn't deserve you!" (sob)

"Oh, my dear Vert..." Tears began to stream down the elder blonde's face, pulling Chika into a tight embrace, uncaring about the mud soaking into her own clothes. "Oh, my daughter... to give up your body... your sanity... for your family's sake...! Your sacrifice... will never be forgotten...!"

The two women continued to hug and sob into each other's shoulders, rocking slightly in their shared grief...

*Some time later...*

Vert slowly roused, finding it slightly hard to breathe... her eyes blinked open, seeing her long blonde locks floating on the surface of the mud that lapped at her chin... (Wait, I'm buried in mud...?) Then it all came rushing back to her- saving Chika, suffering Iris Heart's torture... (Oh my gosh...) she shuddered from the recent memory... being hurt, then healed, then hurt again... (Only Iris Heart could make me feel both intense pain and pleasure at once...) She started to wiggle her body to loosen the mud that encased her, but it's all-encompassing touch caused her to moan involuntarily...

And then she heard a voice to her left, turning her head to see Plutia at the same depth, her long purple hair billowing around her head, a very satisfied smile on her face, she sighed and moaned, her eyes blinking open as she turned her head to face her fellow goddess... Vert's heart nearly leapt into her throat upon still seeing power symbols in those ruby-red orbs... "Good morning, Vert," Iris Heart whispered in a voice that would turn on almost any man. "Did you have a nice nap...?"

"Uhh..." Vert tried to speak, but her voice cracked. She deliberately took some muck into her mouth and swallowed to get some moisture back in her throat. "Does Noire... have to deal with that... all the time...?"

"It depends on my mood. I usually go a little easier with her," Iris replied with a smirk. "I'm surprised you haven't been reduced to a mindless, babbling robot... you must really love your sister to endure this kind of torture for her sake."

"I have no regrets," Vert said firmly. "I may be strict with her, but I'll go to any lengths to keep her safe from outside threats..."

"Well, good for you," Plutia chuckled as she sat up, mud sloughing off her shoulders, the top curve of her bosom emerging as well. "I'll admit, I'm a little jealous... Noire's really the closest thing to family that I have nowadays... And all of a sudden, you suddenly have not only a sister, but your parents as well..."

"You can thank Neptune and that grown-up Peashy for pushing me to reconnect with Mother after so many years," Vert pointed out, trying to sit up as well, though only her shoulders came up, meaning Iris Heart was still looming over her somewhat.

"On Mother's Day?" Iris Heart pressed, getting a nod in response. "That makes sense, Neppy tried asking me about Mommy dearest..." The last two words were laced with cobra venom. "But, I decided to let her off, due to her asking innocently, unlike that Chika..."

"Chika had no idea, either," Vert argued. "And nor do I, for that matter. You should have at least considered that before going off the handle!"

'Well, now that I've got the anger out of my system, I suppose you make a fair point," Iris shrugged, one hand caressing Vert's chin. "So tell you what... how about we cuddle for a bit before we get out and clean up?" She hooked her hand under Vert's armpit, pulling her up to her level...

"...I suppose, as long as 'cuddling' is all we do," Vert allowed. "I'm still quite fatigued..."

"Then you probably shouldn't move around too much," Iris advised, leaning in close. "Because this mud pit is giving me quite the full-body massage..."

"I know what you mean," Vert breathed out, before her lips were covered by Plutia's, the two women shifting into an affectionate embrace, their eyes sliding shut as they settled into the kiss, moaning lightly at the feel of the quicksand sucking on their lower bodies and groping their ample chests...
