She wanted to be a good wife. He could feel how much pride Eesa took in excelling at everything she did. She was the best pilot of all the Tamoori warriors and now she would be the best wife. Jay knew there would still be work to teach her that he would be most pleased with a wife who pursued her own interests.
But that was for later. Right now, she was eager to please her husband. She desperately wanted to know that her body had met his needs. And laced through that almost overwhelming need was something else. Something that shocked her. This was enjoyable. No, it was beyond enjoyable. Jay could feel her shock at that and now he could feel her desire for him to be in her. She wanted his cock, and he would not deny her.
Jay grabbed her hips and lined himself up. At only about 5’9” she was the most petite of his wives, although certainly many of them had been shorter before their evolutions. He knew that he would be big for her but was also confident that her body was strong enough to handle it.
Her tail wrapped around his waist making it clear that she didn’t want him to pull away, so he pushed his cock forward further. Her wetness covered him as he slid between her labia. Then he lined up again and pushed the head of his cock into her. She cried out, “Lord husband, take me. I can feel your concern for me. That time is past. You have given me more than I ever expected. I also feel your need for me. No more stalling. Consummate with me. Write the terms of alliance in my body.”
Eesa’s raw need to be taken, her need to be pleasing surged through him and Jay surged into her. He thrust and worked her till she stretched to accommodate all of his cock. She was so tight, and he reveled in the fact that he was the first to ever be there. He would likewise be the last.
His fingers grasped her hips and even though he could feel that it felt like an iron grip to her, he also knew that she wanted more. He pulled her back against him ramming his cock into her and working her back and forth as a toy on his cock. Her body engulfed it completely and then he pulled almost out, but each time she moaned and begged him to take her harder. With each of his thrusts she bucked her hips back into him. She couldn’t seem to get enough of it and kept fucking him back just as eagerly as he was pushing himself into her.
Within a couple minutes he had no resistance to her need. Jay made one more deep thrust and the exploded inside of her. His seed painting her insides. In that one moment their alliance became official, and she became irrevocably his mate for Lepar mate for life.
They collapsed together in the long grass of the savannah and slept deeply. There were other predators as well as prey animals around them, but none dared approach them. The alphas were obvious to all and Jay slept an undisturbed sleep with his new wife.
That began a wonderful six months of time together. He needed this. He would never have been able to accept her without the benefits of time dilation. Certainly not in time for them to attack the Forlorn. Her idea of a hunt may have been spawned by her desire to keep pushing her new husband to greater feats, but it was not a bad idea at the end of the day.
Jay was sure that it was only a few more days until something major was going to happen even if he couldn’t pin it down exactly. He also knew that a sortie against the Forlorn would hopefully supply them with valuable information about the enemy. And every ship that they could destroy now would be one less they would have to face when the final confrontation came.
These six months allowed him to form a real relationship with Eesa and that was good. Their intimacy had broken down her walls and his if he was honest. He had definitely been unsure about the entire alien thing, but now she was just another wife. He definitely found himself falling for her vibrant personality, hard work, and even her aggressive nature. She was the consummate huntress and even though she cooked their food she still always took the first bite raw.
The time had also allowed Jay to make further progress. He had been able to continually increase her physical form. She was now seven feet tall with the same shapely figure. Her strength might not be the equivalent of one of his fuses yet, but her reflexes were supernatural, and he guessed her strength to be the equivalent of an evolved human with a Durability of three thousand or slightly more.
Sadly, he was convinced that he couldn’t create a PSI core within her. Halfway through the six months she consented to him working on her brain. He increased the number of neurons of course and sped up cognitive processes, but the biggest change was he increased the tiny part of her brain that allowed her to process and manipulate PSI in some limited ways.
Eesa would now have been a mystic of legend as her body could store over ten thousand PSI and she could hurl bolts of plasma as well as further enhancing her physical attributes. He couldn’t seem to grant her any new abilities beyond what had been lying dormant in her. But even this pleased her to no end. Most importantly though, it should allow her to interact better with the PSI that would charge her starfighter.
Because Eesa’s body still relied upon food to power it, rather than PSI as his body did, she needed sleep while he mostly only slept to allow his mind to decompress. This allowed him a few hours each day to work on his own skills. He worked on all of them but focused mostly on things that he might be able to use to attack a Forlorn vessel from space.
Once inside of any of their ships he felt he would stand a good chance of being able to destroy them. That didn’t mean that he was discounting the possibility that they might have abilities he hadn’t already seen. He didn’t want arrogance to be his downfall, but he did feel confident that he could destroy a ship from the inside.
There were just too many variables from the outside. He wasn’t sure what type of shielding they had. He wasn’t sure if that shielding would allow them to prevent him from teleporting onboard. He had to assume it would or at least that they would adapt if he started simply blowing up their ships from the inside.
He also worried about how well he would hold up to fire from their main weapons. It was one thing for his PSI constructs to resist small arms fire. He had managed that when his combined stats weren’t even five hundred combined. But weapons designed to blast through a leviathan were clearly something different.
In the end, all he could do was work his skills as hard as he could, so he did that almost non-stop. He increased all of his skills other than Duplicate and Necrotic Absorption. The one because he was unwilling to try it out yet and the other because there were no necrotic weapons for him to test himself against.
All of his other skills were now over one thousand and many gained far more than that. The two that he had spent the most time developing were Evolved Astral Step as he thought that movement would likely be key to fighting so many enemies and Molecular Separation because it was essentially disintegration and it seemed likely to be one of the best ways to destroy the enemy ships.
He even managed to gain three levels over the six months which was incredible in and of itself. He had not gained any levels outside of a fusion for a long time. The focus and hard work paid off. When training Eesa was single minded in her devotion, which made sense. It had to have been difficult for a woman to rise to the top in such a strongly male oriented society.
Now though this time was coming to an end. Jay looked forward to the shock the Tamoori would get when they saw Eesa. From their perspective only an hour would have passed, but for them it had been six months. He was less excited about the reaction he would get from his other wives when it was clear how much time he had spent with her. Oh well, it was just a cross he would have to bear.
Chapter 28- Snipe Hunt
As expected, the reaction to their six-month honeymoon was a great deal of unhappiness from the wives. The solution became rather simple. Another time dilation field was set up in the science lab and Eesa stayed with them for the sole purpose of trying to optimize the starfighter technology.
Jay assured Eesa that they would still go hunting for Forlorn, but he wanted her to have the best ship possible. To that end he asked Trudi to work on helping to create a nanium ship. T
he other Tamoori might not be able to control such a vessel, but with the refinements he had made to Eesa, Jay believed she would be able to.
Then he went and took honeymoons with each of the wives that wanted to. He focused on smaller areas and greater time dilation. Each of the fields including the science labs were all set to 1:25,920 turning ten minutes into a full six months. Meikiyo was the only one that didn’t want a honeymoon. She said she would wait till they had their son back, but she was surprisingly calm about him taking the time for each of the other wives. She seemed to have stabilized a bit and understood that preparations still had to be made to get them a chance at rescuing Higen. The very fact that they were planning an attack seemed to encourage her.
The fuses and wives who were not on their honeymoon or couldn’t contribute to the science lab were constantly training and asked him to set up a third time dilation so they could get as much time as possible. Amelia, Trina, Meikiyo, Jessie and eleven others trained with great dedication, gaining levels, and raising their skills but also doing something that made him feel less comfortable.
They were determined to perfect the complete fusions. It was a formidable weapon, but Jay knew that there were risks involved. The thing was this was an end of the world type scenario, so he didn’t feel that he could force them not to, so he just turned a blind eye to it.
One of the things that shocked him was that three different women approached him asking him to spend six months with them in seclusion. Bong-cha, Maddy, and Char, were all fuses and all held special places in his heart for entirely different reasons. What hit him the hardest was how difficult it must have been for Bong-cha to actually ask. She was still all too defined by the loss of her family.
Even more surprising was that his wives actually encouraged it. Huong had said, “It is only thirty more minutes. If you miss your kids too much you can visit them between time dilations, but we all know that you already feel love for them. Remember the fusion works both ways.”
So despite the crunch to face an overwhelming enemy, Jay ended up married three more times and now had eleven wives. Apparently, that was significant to Eesa who said that the most wives an Tamoori was ever allowed to have was twelve. It was a sign of their position as a great leader and Jad-bal-ja was the first in a long time. She was thrilled that her husband was getting close to the same honor.
It was moments like that which made Jay shake his head. He would never truly understand women, human, Tamoori or otherwise. Ava of course brought her own form of bizarre to their honeymoon. Due to the science lab time dilations, she had already given birth to their daughter, whom she named Jordan .
She then went on to tell him that she had names for the next few children. She wanted three boys that she would name Mitch, Chris and Lazlo and then two more daughters that she would name Sherry and Susan. He wasn’t sure if it was stranger that she already had names for potential future children or that she thought Lazlo was a name. She insisted that it sounded like a name for a genius.
The time dilations were hard on Jay and once they were all over, he ended up sleeping eight hours in real time after spending an extended time playing with all his kids and connecting with all the other fuses.
On the positive though, it amounted to five more years of training and five more years of research and development as well as five more years of producing nanium. Jay had managed to gain two more levels and was right at the next threshold. Most of the fuses passed the 8th threshold and were somewhere between level one hundred eighty five and level two hundred although Amelia, Trina, Meikiyo, Jessie, and Bong-Cha had all managed to hit the ninth threshold.
That gained them the multi-mental focus and enabled them to function at an even higher level of activity. All of them, including Jay had pushed their skills up. Some of the girls were maxing out their skills. Jay only managed to max one of his skills, but many others were over level ten thousand. All in all, while it felt like a long time, it strengthened their bonds, advanced their starfighters and empowered their frontline fighters.
Once Jay woke from his rest, he visited his kids again. Made rounds all over the team trying to assure everyone that this plan was for the best. He also addressed his plan to keep the other clusters in time dilation. He made the decision that they couldn’t be trusted.
The countdown in his head was saying only two days left. Two day till what, he didn’t know, but the time was flying by. He also realized that he was having odd dreams again. They didn’t wake him from sleep but when he woke after sleeping outside of a time dilation, he couldn’t shake the sound of his own voice screaming while a massive surge of bright light filled his vision.
Today was the day though. Today, they were taking the hunt to the Forlorn. Today humanity was going to strike a blow against one of the two races that had caused this fate to befall them.
The strike force was going to be simple. They would use an A’snkarnt shuttle to transport Jay’s team. Ava had equipped it with a spatial jump drive and the pulse weapons had been upgraded to run off of PSI crystals. They debated changing the weapon type, but the pulse weapons worked against the Forlorn, so instead they simply opted to make them stronger.
The team would consist of Jay, Trina, Amelia, and Meikiyo, although by the rules of the contest with Eesa the girls were only there for support in the case of an emergency. They were just eager for a fight.
Eesa’s team would have Huong, Mia, and Charlotte on it. Again, the other wives were only there as back up, but her upgraded starfighter was able to fit the four of them. It was the pinnacle of their technology. The Tamoori called it Shadow Blade because of how dark and sleek it was along with its ability to shift shape.
The ship had the special subspace drive that was a type of dimensional device which the A’snkarnt had been working on with the Tamoori. It also had a spatial jump drive for long distance travel and PSI propulsion engines. In terms of payload her go to weapons were once again pulse type weapons powered by PSI crystals. But they also added specialized crystals that would allow them to channel the powers of many of the fuses ranging from intense heat, necrotic energy, molecular separation, and shadow bolts.
They even set up an array of weapons with the hope of being able to combo the powers. Nova blasts of heat might not destroy the ships from the outside, but if they could phase through by being combined with shadow bolts then they might take out ships from the inside.
The final weapon was a trial weapon that they had only been able to run simulations on. It was a nanium missile that housed an assortment of PSI crystals. Some were charged with raw power and others were intended to create a cascading effect of destruction. The computer suggested that this was a planet killer level of weapon, but it still had to be tested. It had only come together near the end and was a time intensive weapon, so there were limits on how many they could make.
Jay felt nervous as they took off. Back on Earth it had been a long time since he had anything to lose, but here he had found a home and family he had lost when his mother and sister died. He loved his wives and liked all the other girls of Team Jay. He adored his children and wanted nothing more than a future where he saw them all grow.
That said, if his life was the price of their freedom, he was ready to pay it. Something which he couldn’t hide entirely because of the fusion but still refused to discuss. He didn’t believe he would die today, but he was prepared. He kept a portion of his mind partitioned to focus on his wives and children. Their faces would keep him strong.
He smiled watching Amelia’s pilot the shuttle. This had all begun because she convinced him an alliance was a good idea. Then the spatial jump drive went online and suddenly they were somewhere else. Thanks to updated scans they had jumped several light years in an instant. This means of travel was unique to them and required PSI. It was also beyond anything the A’snkarnt or Forlorn possessed.
They jumped out near a group of three Forlorn battleships. Each was more than a mile long and surrounded by a handful of
smaller vessels ranging from cruisers that were a quarter of the size to smaller ships which were no more than fifty feet long.
The idea was to appear where they shouldn’t possibly be and then attack before the enemy could respond. Jay’s mind started dividing up tasks. He said, “Wait and watch. Amelia cloak the ship.” While another part of his mind activated the nanium around him, expanding it into a set of body armor that moved in perfect coordination with his natural movements.
As soon as the words had left his mouth, he teleported away from the shuttle into open space. It was scary in that a part of him said this was death, but he knew that he could now survive in the vacuum of space. It was just those massive cannons that he wasn’t sure if he could survive.
He ramped up his skills and had his mind partitioned to run multiple skills at the same time. Durability and speed were maximized even as he flew through the void to attack the closest vessel. It was one of the smaller Forlorn ships, but a perfect test. He astral stepped and sure enough ended up inside the ship.
The drones and their commander inside moved to attack him, but it was already over, even if they hadn’t realized it yet. He exploded outward in a combined blast of kinetic energy and waves of fire. The enemy was crushed up against the walls and the very frame of the ship shuddered. But they didn’t suffer there long, because the searing heat of his transformation to Fire Form incinerated all of their organic components.
