Oh, God. The thought made my chest flutter. Focus, I told myself.
“Directing you toward the butthole,” A.I. Lamb said, but even as we were setting our course, an alert showed on the screen. “We have a message.”
The screen changed to display a rough-looking man in what I thought appeared to be a metallic ninja outfit, but could’ve been some sort of space pirate getup, I supposed. It almost made me laugh. But when he said, “Stop or you die,” I had to laugh for an entirely different reason.
“Who does he think he is?” I scoffed.
“Actually…” Charm was out of her seat now, standing closer to the display. When she turned back toward me, she looked like she’d seen a ghost. “I know that face. A bastard from the pirate crew. Named Andawar. He wasn’t much when I was coming up—”
“You were with pirates?”
Charm ignored the question and turned back to the screen, sounding confused. “How the hell he got way out here, I have no idea.”
“Connect comms,” I ordered, and A.I. Lamb did so.
When the comms were up and running, I introduced myself. He did the same, giving his name as Captain Kriver before repeating his warning.
“We’re simply passing through, Captain.”
“Passing through?” he sneered. “Nobody passes through here.”
“If that’s the case, what’s the point of pirates being here? Wouldn’t you want to be out where the looting is good?”
He glared. “Last warning.”
“Fuck this guy,” Gale seethed, and then looked at the screen, raising her voice. “Fuck you. We’re here to save the universe. Get out of the damn way.”
“Save the…?” His face contorted, then he started laughing. “Don’t you know, it’s already over. The bad guys are gone. All that’s left is me.”
Shimmer stepped forward, hitting the mute option. “Go around him, burn him up or…? My way.”
“What’s your way?” Andromida asked. “Because I could probably tear his ship to bits. At least, the parts that matter, and leave him floating off into space.”
I cringed at that. The guy probably did need to be taught a lesson, but he hadn’t technically attacked us yet. If he was bluffing, was it worth killing him over?
“Trust me,” Shimmer said with a wink.
Turning to the screen, she suddenly started breathing heavily, her eyes looking terrified. “Oh, shit… what—what is that? Behind you.”
At first, I wanted to laugh. She was doing the ‘look behind you’ trick? Maybe in the supers’ galaxy that wasn’t as overused and cliché as back home, but still.
The pirate seemed to think the same as me, but still glanced over his shoulder—and then froze. “What… the…f-f-fuck?”
“They’re here,” Shimmer said, then turned to us, “they’re on the pirate ship! They’re everywhere! Get us out of here, now!”
With a glance my way and a wink, she then showed us what she’d shown him. In the display, the pirate captain was firing into his own ship as dark figures like Nihilists moved toward him. But she’d had a bit of fun with the situation, having a few of the hoods fall off and giving some the look of demons, half-decomposed corpses and skeletons for others.
Shimmer hit “mute” again. “Let’s see how long that distracts them. Lamb, get us out of here.”
“On it,” A.I. Lamb replied, and we were off, the display showing no ships in the sensors, but the imagery making it look like thousands of dark vessels were converging on the pirate ship and planet.
“To be clear, they’re all illusions, right?” Charm’s tails were tucked between her legs.
“They are,” Shimmer confirmed.
“Damn, terrifying.”
“You’d be fun to have around for Halloween,” I commented.
The others looked at me with awe. Charm’s tails shot out excitedly, then swayed back and forth. “They still do that on Earth?”
“Yeah, you’ve heard of it?”
“We don’t practice it in the Oram system,” Laurel answered, sadly. “But the holidays of Earth are still talked about.”
“If you all know about it, why not do it?”
“I guess… because we have enough monsters in real life.”
That hit me, and I nodded, thinking. “Still, maybe when this is done we can make some costumes and have a little trick-or-treat of our own.”
“Now we’re talking,” Gale said with a laugh, glancing from me to the display as we made our escape. “Sign me up for a witch costume.”
“Oooh, I’ll be a sexy nurse,” Charm said. “Or maybe… Maybe… Hell, I don’t know. Sexy maid?”
“Sounds fun,” Twitch agreed, but waved us over. “In the meantime, what’ya say we make this jump happen?” Sure enough, we were moving in toward a part of the planet that had been destroyed, but where a ripple effect of light and dark created what could only be a gateway of sorts. “Andromida, ready?”
Andromida stepped forward, next to Twitch. “Since I’m our only shot… I’ll go with yes.”
“It’ll have to do.” Twitch moved to the controls. “I’ll take it from here, Lamb.” She started to steer us toward the jump point. The ground nearby was like a hollowed-out point, with numerous tunnels appearing to have once led to this spot. All of that was close enough to be dangerous if she steered us wrong, but Twitch was a pro.
When we were close enough, she signaled Andromida. The latter closed her eyes, pulses moving out from her.
“Time it just right,” A.I. Lamb spoke up. “In three… two… one….”
And then we were through, the ship jolting and our surroundings vanishing with a flash of light similar to when we’d left Oram to pursue Ranger. Only now we were pursuing someone we had never met, to a location that was a mystery to all of us.
“I have her,” Andromida’s voice echoed as if from all around us, and then…
The light was gone, and we were through.
Darkness. Stars coming into view. Nothing else.

“Wow, I’m impressed.” Twitch turned to look at us all. “We seriously just did that and not one joke about anal?”
“Not again, anyway,” Laurel pointed out.
“Yeah, just seems too easy.” Charm shrugged.
“Because all of your jokes are always super-sophisticated,” Gale chided her. “Shit, I’ll make a butthole joke.”
We all waited.
“You didn’t get it?” Gale laughed at herself, the rest of us glancing around in confusion.
“Is this… I mean…” Laurel laughed. “Seriously, I thought Charm was kind of out there when we were younger, but I meet her now and see she’s really just gotten worse. Or better, if you like her thing, which I do. But then I meet the rest of you, and it’s clear she either rubbed off on you all or just found friends with shared interests.”
“A bit of both,” Charm said. “And I don’t rub off on, I just rub on. Often.”
“See, there it is.”
“And now I’m registering jealousy again,” Aegriss said.
“By Oram, Breaker—will you just go let her jack you off or something so we can get this over with?” Gale glared at us, apparently very serious.
“That’s not…” I was going to say ‘what she wants,’ but Aegriss was looking at me expectantly.
“I can do it right here, if you’d like.”
Twitch checked the display. “I’m not registering anything yet. Could use a good show.”
“Are you all serious?” Harp’s machine said.
Laurel was standing, and nodded toward the door. “Come on Harp… They are.”
“I never agreed to be on display,” I countered.
Harp got to her feet though and followed Laurel to the door. “They’re really weird.”
“Glancing into their minds just now by accident, yeah… You don’t know the half of it.”
They exited, none of the other ladies protesting. Charm was leaning back, arms crossed with her tongue
running along her sharp teeth. Shimmer had scooted over to get a good view and give us room. Gale took Harp’s seat, and even Twitch and Andromida were facing our way now.
“What the hell?” I asked.
“Nothing we haven’t seen,” Twitch pointed out. “And it is better to get it over with.”
“I don’t even know if I have any cum left in me,” I said, careful now to see that I didn’t offend Aegriss. Look at me, trying not to offend an android. I was so confused.
“Breaker,” Charm laughed, “your body is full of super sperm. I don’t think that’ll ever be an issue for you.”
“He sounds like he’d rather not.” Aegriss frowned. “Did I do something wrong?”
“It’s not that,” I protested. Glancing around, all of the ladies waiting, I realized there was nothing really holding me back aside from feeling awkward and shy right at that moment. But this was my team, my lovers. “I felt bad about making the other two uncomfortable,” I tried to find a way to bring it back to the moment instead of me getting a foot out of my mouth. The best way I could think of was to stand and start undoing my pants. “And now that they’re gone…”
“Ah, Lamb, can you tell us when you’ve found something?” Twitch asked.
“Will do. May I enjoy the show as well?”
“Of course.” Twitch laughed. “Maybe record it for later?”
“No,” I said firmly. “Lamb, do not record.”
“Roger that, not recording,” A.I. Lamb replied, actually sounding disappointed.
So here we were, having just traveled through a jump point of some sort to end up in this alien world, and these ladies all wanted to watch an android jack me off. What a weird life. I stepped forward, putting my hands behind my back and waiting for Aegriss to do her thing. It kind of reminded me of a bachelorette party, as if I were the male stripper. I grinned at that thought as all the ladies moved to get a better view.
“Maybe I should check with those two, make sure they don’t miss this,” Charm said.
“Just… let them be,” I replied. Aegriss’s hands were already at my boxer briefs, caressing my bulge through the fabric.
Her eyes rose to meet mine, and I was taken by how lifelike and normal her actions were. Her breathing was fast, her chest rising and falling, and she was biting her lower lip as her hand reached in, grabbed my hard cock like a tube of cookie dough, and pulled it out for the show.
“Mmm,” came from Shimmer. I stood there, trying not to laugh at the absurdity of the situation.
That became real easy as Aegriss started stroking and all I could think about was the pleasure of her touch. Her hands were surprisingly warm, though I guess it made sense to make the androids as lifelike as possible. Someone had likely foreseen situations like this when designing them, or maybe that’s why they’d made them to begin with.
Twitch nudged in next to Charm, and the latter leaned into her, a hand reaching over to move between her thighs.
“Ladies.” Aegriss turned to glare at them, her strokes stopping. “If you don’t mind?”
Twitch laughed, moving Charm’s hand. “She’s right, this is her moment. Let her have it.”
Charm pouted, but I could tell she was just having fun.
All eyes on me again, Aegriss licked her finger and ran it up under my balls, tickling my taint as she started stroking me again with her other hand. When my erection was so full she could practically see her reflection in the smooth skin of its head, she took the full length of it in her mouth.
When I say fully, I mean this was the moment I became very aware of a benefit of getting oral from an android. She had it all the way in, no gag reflexes, to the point that her lips were at my base, her nose pressed into me. The things her tongue was doing made me stumble. I had to reach out and catch my balance on a nearby chair. I stared at her, amazed that she could be bringing me so much pleasure.
“Skull-fuck her,” Twitch urged.
I frowned, at first not going for it out of respect, but Aegriss pulled my dick out and took a deep breath after telling me, “Do it. Harder than you’ve ever skull-fucked someone before.”
“I don’t know…” When I saw that every lady there was leaning in excitedly, I licked my lips while considering her mouth and how badly I wanted to cum inside of it. “Are you… sure?”
“It won’t hurt me,” she admitted.
“And better to get it out of your system, because you sure as hell aren’t skull-fucking the hell out of me,” Gale laughed. “Not like that, anyway.”
Shimmer chuckled and the two high-fived, mumbling something about not choking to death on dick. Twitch was simply smiling, reclining, her hand massaging her inner thigh. I knew this idea was turning her on more than the rest of them.
“Need some courage?” Charm asked. “I could hook you up.”
“No, just… Aegriss…?” I really wanted to be sure about this, even if it was making me look timid.
“Fuck. My. Mouth.” She gave me a stern look, and then pulled back her top, exposing a perfect pair of breasts, melons with taut little nipples. That did it.
Gesturing her to take me again, I reached down and caressed her breasts, squatting to get the right angle, and then pushed her back to the couch-like seats, where I straddled her with one leg, the other still on the ground, and held her by her hair. The other ladies had to reposition again to get a view of this new angle, but I didn’t care—this was about Aegriss and me, now.
My fingers went through her hair. It felt slightly coarse, but otherwise like any other woman’s hair. I leaned down to kiss her forehead, noticing that she smelled like a white wine, and when I straightened and slid back into her mouth, my back arched with the warm, moist touch of her tongue and throat.
A good thrust and I expected her to yelp or gag, but she only looked up at me with excitement. The sensation hit me, and it was confusing. Pleasure, but not only from my cock. From her, from the sensation of pleasing me. Her eyes met mine and shone with excitement.
“Like that,” Twitch said. “Only faster.”
“It was a trial run.” This time I went long and slow, then started increasing my speed. Holding her head, I started ramming my dick into her, slamming it and yanking her head like I was jacking off but with a head in my hands. Her mouth was moving with it, her hands finding my ass and balls and running along my thighs, encouraging me to go faster and harder. So I did, using my super speed and power now, so that the sound of my thighs hitting her face was like a slap… and I had to stop.
“I can’t do it,” I admitted, feeling like an ass.
“Good,” Shimmer said. When I looked up, I noticed she looked a bit sick.
“Honestly, that was… getting to be too much,” Gale admitted. Twitch and Charm looked like they’d been into it, however, and Andromida seemed as confused as Aegriss about what the problem was.
“I liked it,” Aegriss said but shrugged, standing and pushing me back onto the couch. “If you all can’t handle a little bit of intensity on his side, let’s go sensual for a bit.”
She pulled her hair back, accepting a clip from Shimmer to hold it in place, and then went down on me, this time all caresses, long licks, and slow stroking.
With all the buildup already, it only took another thirty seconds or so of this before I felt the first spasm of bliss hit me, the cum building up and then bursting into her mouth. She kept going, slurping up each of my explosions, until I was limp in her mouth and the other women were looking like they needed a cold shower or a long nap.
“That was…” Shimmer ran a hand over the back of her neck, breathing heavily. “Hot.”
“Makes me want seconds.” Twitch caressed my shoulders and leaned in to kiss me on the cheek.
Charm did the same on the other side, then leaned over to take Aegriss by the chin to turn her head and kiss her. Pulling back and licking her lips, Charm said, “Mmm, kissing a beautiful woman with the taste of Breaker’s cum still on her lips. Nothing beats it.”
“Nothing?” I shook my head at her.
“It’s up there with fun things to do, anyway.”
I grinned. We continued like this, the fun escalating again until A.I. Lamb made a throat-clearing sound. “Twitch?”
“Yes?”
“You asked to be alerted when we found something. I am detecting several planets—two are gas planets, but one seems to have some sort of manufactured atmosphere.”
“Manufactured?” Andromida asked.
“That’s what the systems are showing, yes. The planet isn’t manufactured like Abaddon was, but there’s certainly aspects of it that are.”
“Such as the environment,” Twitch said. “And since this is where the Shadow Mystic would be, it would make sense to start our search there.”
We continued our approach until more of the image was clear, but the silvery image didn’t help to understand it in the slightest.
“What are we looking at?” Andromida asked, with actual worry in her voice.
“I’m not… I—shit. I don’t fucking know.” A.I. Lamb laughed. “Guess I’m not perfect, huh? Aegriss, want to take over, here?”
Aegriss frowned and looked at me. I sensed her uncertainty on the system level we were still connected at. Perhaps she was even worried? She shook her head, assessing the image.
The door slid open behind us. Laurel and Harp entered.
“Good, everyone’s pants are on.” Laurel was still half-covering her eyes. She lowered her hands, then stared at the display, her eyes going wider. “And what do we have here?”
“We’re trying to figure that out,” Twitch replied.
Silver burst into the air and flashed into a white light. Sensors went off, warnings that whatever that light was, it was incoming.
“Lamb?” I glanced around in case anyone else had a solution. “Should we be doing something here?”
“At that speed, there’s nothing we could do.”
As soon as the words came out through the speaker system, the wave of light was past us and around us. What had been space with all its darkness and stars was now pink and yellow and blotches of white. Our ship seemed to be floating, no longer flying. All of us stared at the display, then slowly started to look at each other.
