Chapter 1: A Date for Mating

Eclipse looked at the stars with a smile before continuing to look around. He just knew Shadow had to be around here somewhere.

Shadow was nearby. First off, he was a she, with quite the pair of breasts. And she was a Black Arm now. Her now trio of eyes were completely red. Skin had replaced most of her fur, the exception being her white patch of chest fur. A long pointed tail had taken place of the one she had, and her hands and feet were similar to Eclipse's. She was also growling. This was Shadow's least favorite time of every other month. The need to mate, Shadow could ignore. But he didn't trust anyone else to ignore it. Especially with the way it changed his body. 

A startled expression came to Eclipse's face when he saw her. It certainly wasn't what he had been expecting to find, but he wasn't about to complain. Hiding a little, Eclipse started watching her. After a few minutes of it, Eclipse took a breath and came out from where he was hiding. 

"What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" Shadow turned around and immediately took a step back. 

"Hiding. I didn't want anyone to see me like this, especially you." 

"But you're beautiful."  

"You just want to breed with me!" 

"I do not!" Eclipse protested, despite the blush sneaking onto his face. Shadow had hit the nail on the head, especially now that he looked like that.

"Prove it." Shadow challenged. 

"How exactly do you want me to do that?" Eclipse crossed his arms and stared at her.  

"Find a way. If you can't, you obviously just want to breed." Shadow explained. 

"All right then." Eclipse uncrossed his arms. "I'll just have to stick around you until you believe me."  

"Okay," Shadow said with a shrug. 

Eclipse smiled and ran over to her. "So, what should we do first?"  

"Aside from breeding, this 'date' of ours is your call," she explained. 

Eclipse thought about it for a good few minutes before finally saying something. 

"Could we find something to eat?"  

"Sure." 

Eclipse smiled and grabbed Shadow's hand before running off into the woods. Shadow ran with him, wondering where he was pulling her to in such a hurry. Eclipse looked over at her with a smile. Soon, they stopped near a town. 

"There's plenty of food here. We could go hunting together." 

"Yes. We should," she agreed with a smile. Eclipse grinned and looked into the town again. A few humans were wandering around in the dark, and he planned to get one of them. Shadow had the same thought. "I think it'd be best if we both grabbed our meals at the same time." 

"You're right." Eclipse nodded. "What about those two over there?" His hand motioned to a loving couple walking down the street.

"Okay." Shadow said, already preparing herself. 

Eclipse waited for the right moment, going up behind one of the people before grabbing them. Shadow did the same, grabbing the other from behind as well. The humans were dragged back away from the town. Eclipse smiled down at the man before killing him. Shadow killed hers at the same moment. Without any hesitation, they started eating the humans they had killed. Eclipse stopped to watch her eat after a minute. Blood was on her hands and face, with a little coloring her white fur from when she had leaned too close to the woman's body. A smile came to his face and he got back to eating. Eclipse looked at her again and moved closer to her once they had finished. 

"Is there anything in particular you'd like to do?"  

"Not really. Any ideas?" Shadow said, licking the blood off her hands. 

"You called it a date. What do people usually do on dates?" 

Eclipse watched the way she licked the blood off her hands. Her tongue had his attention as she cleaned her fingers. Shadow finished licking the blood off and started trying to get it out of her fur. 

"Well, we already went out to eat, so I guess we could do something fun." 

"What kind of fun?" 

"Anything fun." 

Eclipse looked at her as he tried to think of something fun. "We could br... break something?"

"I'm enjoying this Eclipse." 

"Really?" Eclipse's eyes widened in shock.  

"Yes," Shadow said, smiling. Eclipse grabbed her and pulled her into a hug. Shadow hugged back with a grin.

"Come on." Eclipse pulled back from her and dragged her back through the woods. Shadow followed him with a smile now on her face.

Eclipse brought her to a cave in the forest and looked back at her with a smile on his face. 

"There's something really cool down here, and I want to show it to you."  

Shadow nodded, still smiling. "Okay." 

Eclipse lead her into the cave, following the sloping floor down into the ground. It didn't take long for their eyes to adjust as they walked. The air was damp from the water trickling down the walls of the cave. That eventually let up as they continued going farther down into the Earth. 

It was a couple of hours before Eclipse finally stopped. In front of them was a town. Most of the buildings were in ruins, and a lot of it was covered in dirt. 

"What do you think?" 

Shadow tilted her head, curiously. 

"What's a town doing down here?" 

"Don't know. I found it a few days ago while I was wandering around." 

She let out a hum. "Interesting." 

"Want to take a look around? Maybe we'll find something interesting."  

Shadow nodded, grinning. "Sure!" 

Eclipse looked back at the town and went inside with Shadow following him. Each step kicked up dirt, sending little puffs of dust up around their ankles. Shards of glass still lay in front of the broken windows they walked past. Shadow pointed out a few skeletons laying in the dirt. Apparently, they weren't the first people to find it.

Eventually, they found a large building that looked like some kind of mansion. The front doors didn't want to budge at first, moving only after they shoved a few times. Shadow walked inside, looking around. Eclipse looked at the faded paintings hanging on the wall and raised a brow. Shadow looked at them too. 

"So, any theories for what happened?" Eclipse asked.

"Not a one." 

"Oh. That's a shame."  

Shadow grinned, pulling Eclipse into a kiss. After a moment, she pulled back. 

"I know I've kept you waiting. Want to breed now?" 

A smile came onto Eclipse's face. "I do want to." 

Shadow smiled. "Well, unless you have somewhere in mind, let's get to work." 

Eclipse pulled her right against him and started kissing her again. Shadow kissed him back, lips moving against his. Eclipse grabbed her, lifting her up from the floor to press against her more fully. Shadow was enjoying it, as shown by her wagging tail and the purr in her throat. Eclipse pulled back from the kiss and licked her instead. One of his hands moved onto her butt, lightly stroking it. Shadow gave a quiet moan as her arms moved up around him. One hand was on the back of his head as he continued licking and kissing her. She moved him back into a kiss, tongues meeting as both of his hands moved onto her thighs. They held her legs up as he moved his hips against her. Shadow moaned again at the feeling. Mouths parted and Eclipse looked at her with a smile. 

"Should we move, or stay here?" 

"If you want to move." 

"I figured you'd want to be somewhat comfortable, especially since you're letting me do this in the first place." Eclipse looked around the room they were in. 

"Okay, did you have a place in mind?" 

"Not really." Eclipse kissed her again for a moment. "Maybe the wall or something..."  

"Okay then." Shadow said with a grin. 

Eclipse moved forward, stopping when Shadow was pressed against one of the walls. Shadow's head tipped back as his mouth came down to meet the skin of her throat. Feeling her heartbeat under his lips was exciting him, claws slightly digging into her thighs as he pulled her closer. Shadow let out a small moan as her tail swished against the wall behind her. Running his hands over her body, Eclipse looked down between them. His gray arousal stood out against the black of her body, pressing against her abdomen due to the position. But he was unsure of how ready she was. Shadow moaned as she felt it against her. She was already wet, her body reacting to his desire to mate with her.

"What are you waiting for?" 

Eclipse grinned as he pulled back. One of his hands positioned himself before he pushed into her. Feeling herself stretching around his erection brought a purring moan from her throat. They were both already getting slick with her juices, which only made sliding into her body easier. Eclipse was buried inside her barely a moment before pulling back and thrusting into her again. She gasped loudly as he slammed back up into her. Eclipse looked at her and kissed her again, running his claws down her sides. She moaned into the kiss as his claws scratched against her bare skin. Both hands stopped on her hips, holding them in his hands as he pulled them against him. They were rather wide, farther proving that her current form was meant for breeding. Shadow's grip on him tightened as she was pulled down against him. Eclipse smirked at her and increased his pace. Shadow moaned louder as he thrust harder. Each thrust brought her closer to ecstasy, moving her against the wall she was held against. The pleasure clouded her mind as she gasped his name, swearing to help him breed more Black Arms, to bring the Black Arms back. That she was sorry for what she did. A wide smirk came onto Eclipse's face. He'd make sure to remember her promises. With one last thrust into her, he held her in place as he filled her with his cum. Shadow moaned loudly, almost screamed, as the action had her cumming as well. Eclipse pulled back, slipping out of her as he set her down. Shadow stayed where she was put, panting and grinning. Both knew she was pregnant now.

"Eclipse, how long do you think it'll take for the Black Arms to grow in me? And do you think I'll become a hivemind, like Doom or Death?" 

"I've never known how long it takes, but I don't think it's that long." Eclipse smiled. "You probably will become a hivemind."  

Shadow laid her head back, smiling. "Good, I'm sure it's going to be interesting when that happens. Too bad we don't have a Black Comet to live in." 

Eclipse laughed. "We'll just have to stay here, then."  

Shadow looked at Eclipse, concern in her eyes. "But what if the Black Comet was the only suitable area to breed Black Arms? They might not grow correctly here." 

"That's true. Maybe we should try and find one."  

Shadow raised an eyeridge. "Find a Black Comet?" 

"That's what I was thinking, but now that you've mentioned it, it sounds far-fetched." 

Shadow chuckled, and took his face in her hands. "Eclipse. In this world, nothing is far-fetched. We just need to find out how and/or where." 

"But finding another Black Comet? I doubt this world has anything like that." His doubt was obvious in his voice.

"Eclipse, this world is full of surprises. There's probably a Black Comet here somewhere. Or, much more likely, a way to find one out there in space." 

Eclipse thought about it and nodded. "Alright. want to start looking?"  

Shadow nodded. "Sure, we probably need to find it quickly, if I'm going to be giving birth relatively soon like you said." 

"You know this planet better than I do. Where should we start?" 

Shadow shook her head. "I don't know, I just know there's another Black Comet. I can...feel it, I just can't tell where it is or even if it's on this planet." 

"All right." Eclipse smiled. "We'll just have to follow this feeling of yours."  

 "I guess." Shadow nodded and stood. "Let's get going." She said, walking away. 

Eclipse followed her with a smile, taking her hand once he was close enough. Shadow smiled, nuzzling him.
