  "writing": "[u][center]Chapter 35: Left my Heart[/center][/u]\n\nThey hustled all through the night, Crafty wanting to put as much distance between them and the Kogun’s base. It wasn’t until noon the next day that Crafty let them all stop to sleep, far from the road and into territory where the Kogun didn’t patrol due to all the Fire Gecleon. Their sleep thankfully went peacefully and they slept through to the next morning when they all set off again.\n\nAfter three days Crafty finally relaxed and slowed their pace, “We should be past the Kogun’s patrol routes now.”\n\nFrankie panted and wiped his head, “Good, not used to all this walking.”\n\n“Let’s camp here then,” Dee motioned for them to set up some ways off the main road. Once they tent was set up and they ate around the campfire, the three Poke-women noticed that Frankie was just poking at his food.\n\n“Frankie, what’s wrong?” Dee asked.\n\nFrankie looked up at the three and saw their looks of concern, “I just… wish I could have done more on our first trip. I was just kinda useless…”\n\nCrafty placed a hand on the pink Shiny Kirlia-man’s shoulder, “You’re not useless. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t all be here together. I’d have left the 188 months ago and never met Holly again.”\n\n“And I’d be dead if you hadn’t healed me and taught Dee how to fix me up,” Holly leaned sideways against Crafty.\n\n“Don’t put yourself down Frankie,” Dee looked at Frankie through her aura vision and saw how troubled he was deep down, “Do you want to share anything with us? We want to know more about you, and your past.”\n\nFrankie looked up a them, then took a deep breath, “If you want. I was born in NKR, I don’t remember my mom and my dad was… not psychic. He didn’t like his son being a psychic/fairy and treated me like crap. Eventually I ran away and started telling fortunes for people to survive. Then one day I had a big vision, like the one I did for you two,” he looked to Crafty then Dee, “It told me I needed to find someone so I set off on a long journey, trying to follow the vision. But… remember when I said that ignoring the big visions will lead to bad things happening? Well, I followed my visions and rumors to find this person, I only had a vague description of them, and it took me to New Celadon.”\n\nDee shuddered, “I’ve been there, but never stayed more than one night at the Kalos Express offices.”\n\nFrankie hung his head, “The night before I went into the city, I had another big vision warning me to stay away from New Celadon. But I ignored it because I knew they were there and went in… and the first night, while I was asleep, someone caught me in a Poke Ball.”\n\nThe three Poke-women stared at Frankie in horror, then Crafty leaned over and hugged him. Frankie didn’t smile as he continued. “I was given to a Rattata-man named Louis with a strange genetic issue that made him half dark. He was the son of one of the families that ran the city and I was supposed to be his ‘escort’, but I think I was just a plaything they gave him so he would stay out of the family business. He liked to throw his status around because he wasn’t strong enough to evolve, so instead he used me to play at being a Pokemon Trainer, had me fight other slaves like in the old days. Having me gave him an even bigger ego because I was two rare types and not just shiny but one with a unique color,” he ran his hands through his pink hair. “He loved when I beat other Fighting-types, not that it was hard for me even when I got beat to hell. Maybe using me to take out massive fighting dudes made him feel like being him gay wasn’t a crack on his ego. He treated me like a pet, didn’t even let me wear clothes or call me by my name, just Raltz, so I had to keep reminding myself what my name was. I tried to run a few times but those retrieval lasers are too fast.”\n\nFrankie shuddered and folded in on himself, drawing his knees up to his chest which forced Crafty to release her hug, “It went on like that for a few years, then things got worse when I evolved, and my butt and thighs grew bigger. After that Louis decided to use me for sex. He thought he was so strong since he tried to be dominant during sex but couldn’t even be rough without hurting himself. Eventually he demanded that I learn a Fairy-type move to dazzle in fights, that’s when I made a plan to escape. I forced myself to learn a technique I’d heard of, Dazzling Gleam, even though I didn’t have anyone to teach me. Louis got impatient and when he put me in a fight, I just had to force it out. My first Dazzling Gleam didn’t just knock out my opponent but their trainer, Louis and all the spectators, they didn’t consider that ‘hurts all opponents’ would include everyone there who was my tormentor.”\n\nFrankie sighed, “Honestly, I didn’t enjoy doing that and maybe I could have played Louis’ game a little longer… but I hate him so much. His ego was entirely fueled by his possessions, he had no sense of self-worth and a complex about being gay that he inflicted on me; I don’t think anyone could have helped him, at least no one in that city with his family just letting him play stupid cruel games all day. When I unleashed Dazzling Gleam it was to show Louis that I had real strength even if I was forced to find it because of him. I stole a bunch of his money, some clothes from the crowd then smashed my Poke Ball prison and ran. I told myself someday I’d find someone who wanted me for who I was and not just what I could represent to them. I didn’t like unleashing that much power on him or anyone else, some of them might have died, but I don’t regret it. But still… doing that to someone you know does something to you,” he touched his chest, “even if they’re fucked in the head.”\n\nDee reached over to give a sympathetic touch to Frankie’s shoulder, “You have a lot of talent and potential if you were able to learn a move that advanced without any outside assistance.”\n\nFrankie brightened up, “Really?”\n\n“She’s right,” Holly nodded, “I spend years learning how to use my Illusions even with help. Crafty and I know what it’s like for people to just see what we are for our ‘value’.” She sighed, “the Brotherhood was ecstatic that one of us mutated into an illusion Pokemon and then another into an Eevee which can evolved into a psychic type if they made her ‘happy’ in the sunlight.”\n\nCrafty held Frankie’s head in her hands and looked him in the eyes, “You’re worth something, remember that. You were the best thing about spending so much time at the 188 and I missed you so much.” She gave him a nuzzle then sat back, “Sorry, I just want you to know you’re loved.”\n\n“Thank you,” Frankie blushed intensely and finally ate his supper as the sun went down in order to calm down.\n\nOnce the Kirlia-man finished, Crafty took his hand and gave him a seductive smile, “Want to sleep with me tonight?”\n\nFrankie’s face almost caught on fire as he turned to her, “You mean… I… spend?” he was getting tongue tied.\n\n“Tent’s set up,” Crafty leaned towards him, “If you want some alone time with me.”\n\n“YES!” Frankie’s shout made a short echo around the area.\n\n“Alright,” Crafty helped him stand then duck into the tent as Dee and Holly unrolled their bedrolls near the fire.\n\nFrankie was sweating as he sat in the tent with Crafty and she pulled down the front of her tank-top, giving him a huge view of her cleavage. He gulped, “What about Holly?”\n\nCrafty smirked, “I think she and Dee are having their own fun tonight,” \n\n“Oooooh Fuck!” Dee let out a cry from outside.\n\nCrafty giggled, “I guess there’s no ‘think’ about it.”\n\nFrankie watched as she slowly pulled her top off and her DD-cup breasts bounced free, unable to say anything even as his pants began to tent. Crafty crawled to him, “I see you’re eager.” Frankie nodded and carefully scooted over to the bedroll and pulled his pants down.\n\nCrafty’s eyes went wide when she saw Frankie’s dick, “My, looks like everything down there is big for you.” She squished her tits around his big dick and he shuddered in pleasure, the cold of her smooth skin giving him goosebumps. Her cold breath made him tense up then he gasped as Crafty went down on him, her tongue teasing and exciting him until he came. He lay back and watched as Crafty swallowed and licked her lips as she pulled away from his dick.\n\n“Sorry,” he blushed.\n\n“Just means you think I’m hot, ironically,” Crafty giggled then crawled up next to him on the bedroll, “but I think it’s a shame you didn’t get anything to drink too.” She placed her hands on her breasts with a blue aura around them.\n\nFrankie rolled to face her, “What do you mean.” He watched as Crafty’s breasts firmed up before his eyes.\n\nCrafty giggled, “A trick Dee taught me: Mother’s Gift.” She pulsed another dose as her breasts felt heavier then drooped slightly, “There. Want a drink?” she carefully squeezed her breasts together and some milk dripped from her nipples, “Chilled to perfection.”\n\nFrankie gaped then grinned and dove in to drain her breasts. Crafty gasped as he squeezed her tits to coax more cold milk from her. Frankie licked his lips as he finished draining her breasts back down to their normal weight, “I didn’t expect that kind of cold drink.”\n\n“I know you enjoyed it, I can feel you poking me,” Crafty wiggled her hips to loosen her pants, “if you’re so eager, go ahead.”\n\n“Really?” Frankie lit up.\n\n“Take my pants off and show me,” Crafty grinned. Frankie didn’t need any more invitation as he pushed her pants down then rolled on top of Crafty, taking her by surprise, and plunged his dick into her wet pussy.\n\nCrafty gave a gasp of surprise as Frankie plowed into her with gusto, starting to feel overwhelmed as his unleashed years of pent-up frustration and lust into a woman who was all too eager to accept him in so many ways. Crafty was sweating as she felt herself come and fell back on the bedroll, her bouncing breasts enticing Frankie to grab and squeeze them which made the Glaceon-woman moan aloud and let out a small puff of cold air into his face. The sudden blast of cold only invigorated and refreshed Frankie and he plowed her harder until he finally came and hilted himself into her until he finished and collapsed on top of her, panting hard.\n\n“That… wow… Frankie…” Crafty panted, “You fuck… like a Rhydon!”\n\nFrankie blushed. Now that the heat of the moment had worn off he was sweating, “Thank you.”\n\nCrafty managed to focus her aura to cool her body down. Frankie stopped panting and slid up her until their faces were level. “Thank you, Frankie.” Crafty gave him a kiss, which he returned then yawned.\n\n“Took a lot out of me,” he was about to roll off her when Crafty wrapped her arms around him and held him close.\n\n“No need to get off,” she giggled, “On hot nights, nothing like a cool bed with two nice big cold pillows to lay on.”\n\nFrankie blushed then slid down and lay his head on Crafty’s breasts, “What did I do to earn this?”\n\n“You know.” Crafty yawned, “I’d list everything but then we’d be up till dawn.” Then they drifted off to sleep in each others’ arms.\n\nFor the next couple days the walk back to the 188 was relatively peaceful, Frankie’s mood and stamina had improved significantly after the nearly two weeks of walking and fighting off a couple mutant Pokemon attacks.\n\nFrank Weathers was still waiting at the trading post and taking shifts on lookout and thus was the first to spot the four returning with the sun high overhead. “They’re back!” he ran from his post to meet the four Poke-people and almost collided with Dee, “Did you find them? Where are they?” his voice was laden with hope and panic\n\n“Give them some space, Frank,” the NKR ranger, a Magmar-woman, pulled Frank back, “Get back to your post, let them rest, then they’ll answer you.” He turned to the four, “Don’t rush it, just get fed and rested.”\n\nDee smiled, “Thank you.”\n\nAfter lunch and some rest, Frank Weathers approached the group more sedately. “Did you save them?”\n\nHolly took off her backpack, “I think so,” she pulled out the three Poke Balls and one Ultra Ball which made everyone nearby flinch back on reflex.\n\n“I only had my wife and two kids, so that’s three. Who’s the fourth?” Frank Weathers looked up at the group, “How do we tell who’s in there?”\n\nDee stepped over, “Let me see if I can read the auras of the occupants.” She narrowed her gaze as she focused.\n\n“Me too,” Frankie hovered his hands over the balls, trying to read the minds of whoever was in them.\n\nDee blinked, “Mostly fear, apprehension and… resentment from the three Poke Balls and, yow!” Dee flinched back, “Anger and hatred from the Ultra Ball!”\n\nFrankie shuddered as his hands moved over the Ultra Ball, “Yeah, whoever’s in there’s bursting with anger.” He pulled his hands back.\n\n“That one can’t be any of them.” Frank Weathers looked pleadingly at the four, “please let them out.”\n\n“Of course,” Dee took the three Poke Balls from Holly and tossed them on the ground, “come on out,” she echoed the words from the cartoon she’d watched as a child in the vault. All three Poke Balls hit the ground and popped open to release bright flashes of white light that formed into a Diggersby-woman and a Bunnelby-boy and girl.\n\n“Kenny! Sammy!” Frank Weathers turned from his two children to his wife, but was cut off when she glared at him.\n\n“Frank, where are we?” his wife said.\n\n“At the 188 Trading Post,” the Magmar-woman ranger said then gestured to the four friends, “These four rescued you from the Kogun at your huband’s request.”\n\nDee stepped on and smashed the Poke Balls to pieces once she confirmed who was inside them, “I hope you weren’t in there too long.”\n\n“Hard to say, no thanks to him,” Mrs. Weathers turned to her husband, “After you ran away instead of trying to help us I’m surprised you had the gall to try and even hire someone!”\n\nCrafty ushered her friends away, “Let’s not get involved in a family dispute. They’re safe, that’s what matters.”\n\nOnce they were out of earshot of the re-united and arguing family, Holly looked down at the Ultra Ball still in her hand, “Who do you think’s in here that could be so angry?”\n\n“Maybe someone being disciplined,” Crafty took the ball from her, “What should we do?”\n\n“Let them out,” Frankie said, “Even if he’s part of the Kogun, no one deserves to be locked up in one of those… things.”\n\nDee nodded and took the ball from Crafty, “You’re right, Frankie. Just step back in case it’s a trap.”\n\nCrafty took a few steps away and pulled her sniper rifle from her back, “We’re here for you.” Frankie and Holly nodded.\n\nDee took a deep breath to calm herself. The rage and hate emanating from Ultra Ball made her shaky and the aura felt oddly familiar to her. “Aright, you’re free!” She tossed the ball ahead of her and watched it release its captive in a flash of white light, then smashed the Ultra Ball as soon as it finished.\n\nThe captive was a Charizard-man in tattered leather tribal clothing who was a head taller than Dee. He rounded on her, flames scattering from his mouth as he roared, “Where am I!” his tail flame burned higher, “Where are Hideyoshi and Nobunaga! I’ll burn them to ash for what they did!”\n\nFrankie, Holly and Crafty all stepped back, Crafty ready to shoot, as the Charizard man raged. Dee stood riveted to the spot as she stared at the newly freed captive. His voice, his aura, the Rotom-boy still on his left arm, she couldn’t believe it was him and yet here he was.\n\nThe Charizard-man finally focused on Dee as she calmly stepped forwards. He looked ready for a fight until Dee spoke. “Helios? Is that you?”\n\nThe Charizard-man blinked, “How do you… know…” He stared into the eyes of the shiny, busty, thicc Lucario-woman, “Dee?”\n\nTears welled up in Dee’s eyes as her face broke down from uncertainty to warbling as all the sorrow she’d moved past came flooding back to be replaced with unbridled joy and love as she flung herself at Helios, nearly knocking him over as she pulled him into a tight hug, sobbing her heart out, “HELIOS! YOU’RE ALIVE! THANK ARCEUS YOU’RE ALIVE!”\n\nHelios could barely withstand the hug as Dee loudly cried and held him close, not wanting to let go lest this moment end. “I-I never,” she choked up, “I thought I’d never see you agahahaaaain!” She wailed and hugged him even tighter.\n\nHelios snapped out of it and pulled Dee into a tight hug of his own, “Dee! Praise Moltres! I… I…” he teared up as well when Dee looked up into his eyes and they kissed, deep and hard, their emotions mixing together with sorrow, joy and relief while so much trouble and anger evaporated around them as they hugged, kissed and cried.\n\nCrafty smiled and slung her rifle over her back, “I don’t think we have to worry.”\n\nDee eventually broke away from Helios and wiped her eyes. Happy tears still streamed down her face as her smile lit up the darkening sky and she turned to her new friends. “Crafty, Holly, Frankie, this is my mate: Helios of the Moltres’ Embers.”\n\nHelios rubbed his face then waved to the three, “Hi, it’s nice to meet you all.” Then he turned back to Dee and carefully caressed her face, “I know it’s you, but what happened, Dee?” he stepped back to get a better look at her, “You’re shiny, and damn you’ve somehow gotten hotter and… where’s your chest spike?” He pointed at the top of her chest.\n\nDee touched the scar her where chest spike had been, “It’s a very long story, we all have one of those,” she wiped her eyes then looked over at her new friends, “We should all share them now, catch you up to speed.” She turned back to Helios and took his hands in her own, “And I want to know what happened to you and the Moltres’ Embers.”\n\nHelios’ face became serious, “The Kogun happened.”\n\nHelios was forestalled from his story for a while as he was invited to eat and listen to everyone else at one of the picnic tables on the upper level. While Helios was famished, he forced himself to eat at a steady pace as he listened first to everything that had happened to Dee since they went their separate ways over six years ago, then to Crafty, Holly and Frankie’s own stories. By the end of it he had an arm around Dee’s waist as she leaned up against his side, her arm around his middle too.\n\nThey sat in silence for a time before Dee spoke, “Helios, please tell me what happened.”\n\nHelios stared at the table with only the scraps of his meal for a minute before he spoke. “We traveled east, but slowly because we kept trying to find places to hunt and forage and kept hoping we could just stay a step or two ahead of the NKR instead of being absorbed. We came to the river three years ago and decided it could form a powerful barrier between us and the NKR, so we crossed. At first we thought it was peaceful, no raiders, no NKR but no other tribes either. Then the Kogun attacked us. We defeated the first group we encountered but then they came in force and slaughtered or captured all of us, but even after that we resisted being enslaved until…” Helios took a deep breath and turned to Dee, “They forced us to fight to the death in their combat pits to train their Ashigaru. Cambu, Helfra, Falvy and Chief Raz’Ooga… They’re all dead. They forced me to watch all of them die then said I wasn’t worthy to die an ‘honorable death in combat’ since I had evil technology stuck to my arm that I refused to remove.” He looked at his Rotom-boy then up to Holly, “Thank you for rescuing me,” he removed his arm from around Dee and stood up away from the table and started to walk away to the south.\n\nDee jumped up, “Helios, wait!”\n\nHelios didn’t stop, his tail flame igniting higher, “No! I’m going back to their camp to burn everything down! Then I’m going to find Nobunaga and set his whole Kogun on fire!”\n\nBefore Helios could take another step, Dee ran to him and grabbed him in a tight hug around the middle from behind so strongly that he couldn’t take another step.\n\n“Helios, please don’t do this,” Dee whispered, “I just found you again, please don’t leave me.”\n\nHelios turned to her fire still burning in his eyes, “Dee, I have to stop them, to pay them back for everything they’ve done!” his wings rose but he didn’t move.\n\nDee still held fast, “I know. Nobunaga’s Kogun has to be stopped, but not like this. Don’t throw your life away for revenge.” She released his middle then slid in front of him and took his hands, “We’ll stop them, somehow, and we’ll do it together.” Tears once again welled up in her eyes, “I can’t lose you again.”\n\nHelios stared back and felt his anger evaporate, at least a little. “I want to make them hurt, make them pay.”\n\n“I know how you feel, like I did with the Think Tank,” Dee clutched a hand to her chest, “I still regret how I reacted, why I did it. Revenge like that will just leave you feeling empty inside.”\n\nHelios caressed Dee’s face and she touched the same clawed hand, “Dee, I… I can’t leave this. I can’t let them just keep murdering tribes or their histories.”\n\n“I’m sorry your tribe’s gone, it’s just you and Volca up in Hisui left,” Dee pulled his hand down from her face.\n\nHelios looked deep into her quivering eyes, “Dee, I’ve missed you so much,” his anger died down as he finally felt his energy crash from running on adrenaline so long as he felt something spark to life in his heart that he thought was gone forever. He pulled her close into a hug, “As long as I have you, Dee, I’ll survive. Together, we can be our own tribe.”\n\nDee couldn’t help but tear up again as she looked up into her mate’s eyes, no longer clouded by bloodlust, “We will. You’re my home, Helios. I missed you so much.” They closed their eyes and gently kissed.\n\n“Well, now that that’s settled, we should make our next plan,” Crafty said as Dee and Helios just kept kissing. Crafty laughed, “Whenever you’re done, I’m in no rush.”\n\nThankfully, Frankie’s old home was currently unoccupied. As the five of them sat around a campfire, Holly pulled a set of folded files out of her bag.\n\nCrafty glanced over at the files, “What are those?”\n\nHolly smirked, “The Kogun’s raid plans for the next few months, looks a little too clean to have been looked at much.” She flipped through the files, “I bet the NKR will pay a lot for this.”\n\nCrafty grinned, “Perfect, we can give it to their people at the Kalos outpost when we go see Alex.”\n\nHelios growled, “Not gonna bring down the Kogun that way.”\n\nDee put her arm around Helios, “Small steps. We’ll do it, I promise.”\n\nHelios sighed then looked down at the tattered remains of his clothes, “I’m gonna need some better gear.”\n\n“We’ll stop by Melany’s junk shop, she should have something,” Dee turned and gave Helios a kiss on the cheek, “But let’s rest, we have a long walk ahead of us.”\n\nHelios turned to kiss Dee, “Alright, I missed getting real sleep.” They got up and walked some distance away to get a little privacy. As they couldn’t pitch the tent in the remaining road pavement they just set out their bedrolls and lay down beside each other.\n\nHelios smiled and caressed Dee’s face, “Moltres, I missed you so much. I never thought we’d be together again.”\n\nDee pressed Helios’ hand into her face as she started to tear up again, “I thought you were dead, I never dreamed I’d see you again.” She leaned into the hands, “I feel safe now that you’re back.”\n\nHelios chuckled, “Safe with me? Dee, you’re so much stronger than me, I should feel safe with you.”\n\nDee smiled, “I know, but it doesn’t change how I feel.” They pulled closer and kissed, “I love you, Helios.”\n\n“I love you too Dee,” he smirked as their snouts almost touched, “I didn’t know you were into girls too, and here I thought you couldn’t get any sexier after I saw how much you’ve grown,” he reached down to grab her ass.\n\nDee gasped and blushed, “I didn’t think so either, until Holly. It was nice,” she ran her hands over Helios now rock-hard chest and some of the scars that weren’t there before, “You’ve only gotten hotter too. What’s it like to have wings?”\n\n“Was awkward at first, having two new limbs, but I got used to it,” Helios squeezed one of Dee’s breasts, “Damn, Dee, how do you keep these huge puppies so firm?”\n\n“A little trick I learned from Lloyd,” Dee kissed him again.\n\nThey were starting to get hot and heavy when Helios yawned and rubbed his eyes, “Sorry, Dee, I’m completely spent.”\n\nDee nodded and snuggled close, “I get it, first time you can sleep in peace in years.” She yawned too, “We’ll have time to catch up where we left off. Good night, Helios, I love you.”\n\n“I love you too, Dee, good night,” they kissed then fell asleep together.\n",

It wasn&rsquo;t until noon the next day that Crafty let them all stop to sleep, far from the road and into territory where the Kogun didn&rsquo;t patrol due to all the Fire Gecleon. Their sleep thankfully went peacefully and they slept through to the next morning when they all set off again.<br /><br />After three days Crafty finally relaxed and slowed their pace, &ldquo;We should be past the Kogun&rsquo;s patrol routes now.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie panted and wiped his head, &ldquo;Good, not used to all this walking.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s camp here then,&rdquo; Dee motioned for them to set up some ways off the main road. Once they tent was set up and they ate around the campfire, the three Poke-women noticed that Frankie was just poking at his food.<br /><br />&ldquo;Frankie, what&rsquo;s wrong?&rdquo; Dee asked.<br /><br />Frankie looked up at the three and saw their looks of concern, &ldquo;I just&hellip; wish I could have done more on our first trip. I was just kinda useless&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Crafty placed a hand on the pink Shiny Kirlia-man&rsquo;s shoulder, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re not useless. If it weren&rsquo;t for you, we wouldn&rsquo;t all be here together. I&rsquo;d have left the 188 months ago and never met Holly again.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And I&rsquo;d be dead if you hadn&rsquo;t healed me and taught Dee how to fix me up,&rdquo; Holly leaned sideways against Crafty.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t put yourself down Frankie,&rdquo; Dee looked at Frankie through her aura vision and saw how troubled he was deep down, &ldquo;Do you want to share anything with us? We want to know more about you, and your past.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie looked up a them, then took a deep breath, &ldquo;If you want. I was born in NKR, I don&rsquo;t remember my mom and my dad was&hellip; not psychic. He didn&rsquo;t like his son being a psychic/fairy and treated me like crap. Eventually I ran away and started telling fortunes for people to survive. Then one day I had a big vision, like the one I did for you two,&rdquo; he looked to Crafty then Dee, &ldquo;It told me I needed to find someone so I set off on a long journey, trying to follow the vision. But&hellip; remember when I said that ignoring the big visions will lead to bad things happening? Well, I followed my visions and rumors to find this person, I only had a vague description of them, and it took me to New Celadon.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee shuddered, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been there, but never stayed more than one night at the Kalos Express offices.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie hung his head, &ldquo;The night before I went into the city, I had another big vision warning me to stay away from New Celadon. But I ignored it because I knew they were there and went in&hellip; and the first night, while I was asleep, someone caught me in a Poke Ball.&rdquo;<br /><br />The three Poke-women stared at Frankie in horror, then Crafty leaned over and hugged him. Frankie didn&rsquo;t smile as he continued. &ldquo;I was given to a Rattata-man named Louis with a strange genetic issue that made him half dark. He was the son of one of the families that ran the city and I was supposed to be his &lsquo;escort&rsquo;, but I think I was just a plaything they gave him so he would stay out of the family business. He liked to throw his status around because he wasn&rsquo;t strong enough to evolve, so instead he used me to play at being a Pokemon Trainer, had me fight other slaves like in the old days. Having me gave him an even bigger ego because I was two rare types and not just shiny but one with a unique color,&rdquo; he ran his hands through his pink hair. &ldquo;He loved when I beat other Fighting-types, not that it was hard for me even when I got beat to hell. Maybe using me to take out massive fighting dudes made him feel like being him gay wasn&rsquo;t a crack on his ego. He treated me like a pet, didn&rsquo;t even let me wear clothes or call me by my name, just Raltz, so I had to keep reminding myself what my name was. I tried to run a few times but those retrieval lasers are too fast.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie shuddered and folded in on himself, drawing his knees up to his chest which forced Crafty to release her hug, &ldquo;It went on like that for a few years, then things got worse when I evolved, and my butt and thighs grew bigger. After that Louis decided to use me for sex. He thought he was so strong since he tried to be dominant during sex but couldn&rsquo;t even be rough without hurting himself. Eventually he demanded that I learn a Fairy-type move to dazzle in fights, that&rsquo;s when I made a plan to escape. I forced myself to learn a technique I&rsquo;d heard of, Dazzling Gleam, even though I didn&rsquo;t have anyone to teach me. Louis got impatient and when he put me in a fight, I just had to force it out. My first Dazzling Gleam didn&rsquo;t just knock out my opponent but their trainer, Louis and all the spectators, they didn&rsquo;t consider that &lsquo;hurts all opponents&rsquo; would include everyone there who was my tormentor.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie sighed, &ldquo;Honestly, I didn&rsquo;t enjoy doing that and maybe I could have played Louis&rsquo; game a little longer&hellip; but I hate him so much. His ego was entirely fueled by his possessions, he had no sense of self-worth and a complex about being gay that he inflicted on me; I don&rsquo;t think anyone could have helped him, at least no one in that city with his family just letting him play stupid cruel games all day. When I unleashed Dazzling Gleam it was to show Louis that I had real strength even if I was forced to find it because of him. I stole a bunch of his money, some clothes from the crowd then smashed my Poke Ball prison and ran. I told myself someday I&rsquo;d find someone who wanted me for who I was and not just what I could represent to them. I didn&rsquo;t like unleashing that much power on him or anyone else, some of them might have died, but I don&rsquo;t regret it. But still&hellip; doing that to someone you know does something to you,&rdquo; he touched his chest, &ldquo;even if they&rsquo;re fucked in the head.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee reached over to give a sympathetic touch to Frankie&rsquo;s shoulder, &ldquo;You have a lot of talent and potential if you were able to learn a move that advanced without any outside assistance.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie brightened up, &ldquo;Really?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;She&rsquo;s right,&rdquo; Holly nodded, &ldquo;I spend years learning how to use my Illusions even with help. Crafty and I know what it&rsquo;s like for people to just see what we are for our &lsquo;value&rsquo;.&rdquo; She sighed, &ldquo;the Brotherhood was ecstatic that one of us mutated into an illusion Pokemon and then another into an Eevee which can evolved into a psychic type if they made her &lsquo;happy&rsquo; in the sunlight.&rdquo;<br /><br />Crafty held Frankie&rsquo;s head in her hands and looked him in the eyes, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re worth something, remember that. You were the best thing about spending so much time at the 188 and I missed you so much.&rdquo; She gave him a nuzzle then sat back, &ldquo;Sorry, I just want you to know you&rsquo;re loved.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you,&rdquo; Frankie blushed intensely and finally ate his supper as the sun went down in order to calm down.<br /><br />Once the Kirlia-man finished, Crafty took his hand and gave him a seductive smile, &ldquo;Want to sleep with me tonight?&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie&rsquo;s face almost caught on fire as he turned to her, &ldquo;You mean&hellip; I&hellip; spend?&rdquo; he was getting tongue tied.<br /><br />&ldquo;Tent&rsquo;s set up,&rdquo; Crafty leaned towards him, &ldquo;If you want some alone time with me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;YES!&rdquo; Frankie&rsquo;s shout made a short echo around the area.<br /><br />&ldquo;Alright,&rdquo; Crafty helped him stand then duck into the tent as Dee and Holly unrolled their bedrolls near the fire.<br /><br />Frankie was sweating as he sat in the tent with Crafty and she pulled down the front of her tank-top, giving him a huge view of her cleavage. He gulped, &ldquo;What about Holly?&rdquo;<br /><br />Crafty smirked, &ldquo;I think she and Dee are having their own fun tonight,&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;Oooooh Fuck!&rdquo; Dee let out a cry from outside.<br /><br />Crafty giggled, &ldquo;I guess there&rsquo;s no &lsquo;think&rsquo; about it.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie watched as she slowly pulled her top off and her DD-cup breasts bounced free, unable to say anything even as his pants began to tent. Crafty crawled to him, &ldquo;I see you&rsquo;re eager.&rdquo; Frankie nodded and carefully scooted over to the bedroll and pulled his pants down.<br /><br />Crafty&rsquo;s eyes went wide when she saw Frankie&rsquo;s dick, &ldquo;My, looks like everything down there is big for you.&rdquo; She squished her tits around his big dick and he shuddered in pleasure, the cold of her smooth skin giving him goosebumps. Her cold breath made him tense up then he gasped as Crafty went down on him, her tongue teasing and exciting him until he came. He lay back and watched as Crafty swallowed and licked her lips as she pulled away from his dick.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sorry,&rdquo; he blushed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just means you think I&rsquo;m hot, ironically,&rdquo; Crafty giggled then crawled up next to him on the bedroll, &ldquo;but I think it&rsquo;s a shame you didn&rsquo;t get anything to drink too.&rdquo; She placed her hands on her breasts with a blue aura around them.<br /><br />Frankie rolled to face her, &ldquo;What do you mean.&rdquo; He watched as Crafty&rsquo;s breasts firmed up before his eyes.<br /><br />Crafty giggled, &ldquo;A trick Dee taught me: Mother&rsquo;s Gift.&rdquo; She pulsed another dose as her breasts felt heavier then drooped slightly, &ldquo;There. Want a drink?&rdquo; she carefully squeezed her breasts together and some milk dripped from her nipples, &ldquo;Chilled to perfection.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie gaped then grinned and dove in to drain her breasts. Crafty gasped as he squeezed her tits to coax more cold milk from her. Frankie licked his lips as he finished draining her breasts back down to their normal weight, &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t expect that kind of cold drink.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know you enjoyed it, I can feel you poking me,&rdquo; Crafty wiggled her hips to loosen her pants, &ldquo;if you&rsquo;re so eager, go ahead.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Really?&rdquo; Frankie lit up.<br /><br />&ldquo;Take my pants off and show me,&rdquo; Crafty grinned. Frankie didn&rsquo;t need any more invitation as he pushed her pants down then rolled on top of Crafty, taking her by surprise, and plunged his dick into her wet pussy.<br /><br />Crafty gave a gasp of surprise as Frankie plowed into her with gusto, starting to feel overwhelmed as his unleashed years of pent-up frustration and lust into a woman who was all too eager to accept him in so many ways. Crafty was sweating as she felt herself come and fell back on the bedroll, her bouncing breasts enticing Frankie to grab and squeeze them which made the Glaceon-woman moan aloud and let out a small puff of cold air into his face. The sudden blast of cold only invigorated and refreshed Frankie and he plowed her harder until he finally came and hilted himself into her until he finished and collapsed on top of her, panting hard.<br /><br />&ldquo;That&hellip; wow&hellip; Frankie&hellip;&rdquo; Crafty panted, &ldquo;You fuck&hellip; like a Rhydon!&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie blushed. Now that the heat of the moment had worn off he was sweating, &ldquo;Thank you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Crafty managed to focus her aura to cool her body down. Frankie stopped panting and slid up her until their faces were level. &ldquo;Thank you, Frankie.&rdquo; Crafty gave him a kiss, which he returned then yawned.<br /><br />&ldquo;Took a lot out of me,&rdquo; he was about to roll off her when Crafty wrapped her arms around him and held him close.<br /><br />&ldquo;No need to get off,&rdquo; she giggled, &ldquo;On hot nights, nothing like a cool bed with two nice big cold pillows to lay on.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie blushed then slid down and lay his head on Crafty&rsquo;s breasts, &ldquo;What did I do to earn this?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You know.&rdquo; Crafty yawned, &ldquo;I&rsquo;d list everything but then we&rsquo;d be up till dawn.&rdquo; Then they drifted off to sleep in each others&rsquo; arms.<br /><br />For the next couple days the walk back to the 188 was relatively peaceful, Frankie&rsquo;s mood and stamina had improved significantly after the nearly two weeks of walking and fighting off a couple mutant Pokemon attacks.<br /><br />Frank Weathers was still waiting at the trading post and taking shifts on lookout and thus was the first to spot the four returning with the sun high overhead. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re back!&rdquo; he ran from his post to meet the four Poke-people and almost collided with Dee, &ldquo;Did you find them? Where are they?&rdquo; his voice was laden with hope and panic<br /><br />&ldquo;Give them some space, Frank,&rdquo; the NKR ranger, a Magmar-woman, pulled Frank back, &ldquo;Get back to your post, let them rest, then they&rsquo;ll answer you.&rdquo; He turned to the four, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t rush it, just get fed and rested.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee smiled, &ldquo;Thank you.&rdquo;<br /><br />After lunch and some rest, Frank Weathers approached the group more sedately. &ldquo;Did you save them?&rdquo;<br /><br />Holly took off her backpack, &ldquo;I think so,&rdquo; she pulled out the three Poke Balls and one Ultra Ball which made everyone nearby flinch back on reflex.<br /><br />&ldquo;I only had my wife and two kids, so that&rsquo;s three. Who&rsquo;s the fourth?&rdquo; Frank Weathers looked up at the group, &ldquo;How do we tell who&rsquo;s in there?&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee stepped over, &ldquo;Let me see if I can read the auras of the occupants.&rdquo; She narrowed her gaze as she focused.<br /><br />&ldquo;Me too,&rdquo; Frankie hovered his hands over the balls, trying to read the minds of whoever was in them.<br /><br />Dee blinked, &ldquo;Mostly fear, apprehension and&hellip; resentment from the three Poke Balls and, yow!&rdquo; Dee flinched back, &ldquo;Anger and hatred from the Ultra Ball!&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie shuddered as his hands moved over the Ultra Ball, &ldquo;Yeah, whoever&rsquo;s in there&rsquo;s bursting with anger.&rdquo; He pulled his hands back.<br /><br />&ldquo;That one can&rsquo;t be any of them.&rdquo; Frank Weathers looked pleadingly at the four, &ldquo;please let them out.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Of course,&rdquo; Dee took the three Poke Balls from Holly and tossed them on the ground, &ldquo;come on out,&rdquo; she echoed the words from the cartoon she&rsquo;d watched as a child in the vault. All three Poke Balls hit the ground and popped open to release bright flashes of white light that formed into a Diggersby-woman and a Bunnelby-boy and girl.<br /><br />&ldquo;Kenny! Sammy!&rdquo; Frank Weathers turned from his two children to his wife, but was cut off when she glared at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Frank, where are we?&rdquo; his wife said.<br /><br />&ldquo;At the 188 Trading Post,&rdquo; the Magmar-woman ranger said then gestured to the four friends, &ldquo;These four rescued you from the Kogun at your huband&rsquo;s request.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee stepped on and smashed the Poke Balls to pieces once she confirmed who was inside them, &ldquo;I hope you weren&rsquo;t in there too long.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Hard to say, no thanks to him,&rdquo; Mrs. Weathers turned to her husband, &ldquo;After you ran away instead of trying to help us I&rsquo;m surprised you had the gall to try and even hire someone!&rdquo;<br /><br />Crafty ushered her friends away, &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s not get involved in a family dispute. They&rsquo;re safe, that&rsquo;s what matters.&rdquo;<br /><br />Once they were out of earshot of the re-united and arguing family, Holly looked down at the Ultra Ball still in her hand, &ldquo;Who do you think&rsquo;s in here that could be so angry?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe someone being disciplined,&rdquo; Crafty took the ball from her, &ldquo;What should we do?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Let them out,&rdquo; Frankie said, &ldquo;Even if he&rsquo;s part of the Kogun, no one deserves to be locked up in one of those&hellip; things.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee nodded and took the ball from Crafty, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re right, Frankie. Just step back in case it&rsquo;s a trap.&rdquo;<br /><br />Crafty took a few steps away and pulled her sniper rifle from her back, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re here for you.&rdquo; Frankie and Holly nodded.<br /><br />Dee took a deep breath to calm herself. The rage and hate emanating from Ultra Ball made her shaky and the aura felt oddly familiar to her. &ldquo;Aright, you&rsquo;re free!&rdquo; She tossed the ball ahead of her and watched it release its captive in a flash of white light, then smashed the Ultra Ball as soon as it finished.<br /><br />The captive was a Charizard-man in tattered leather tribal clothing who was a head taller than Dee. He rounded on her, flames scattering from his mouth as he roared, &ldquo;Where am I!&rdquo; his tail flame burned higher, &ldquo;Where are Hideyoshi and Nobunaga! I&rsquo;ll burn them to ash for what they did!&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie, Holly and Crafty all stepped back, Crafty ready to shoot, as the Charizard man raged. Dee stood riveted to the spot as she stared at the newly freed captive. His voice, his aura, the Rotom-boy still on his left arm, she couldn&rsquo;t believe it was him and yet here he was.<br /><br />The Charizard-man finally focused on Dee as she calmly stepped forwards. He looked ready for a fight until Dee spoke. &ldquo;Helios? Is that you?&rdquo;<br /><br />The Charizard-man blinked, &ldquo;How do you&hellip; know&hellip;&rdquo; He stared into the eyes of the shiny, busty, thicc Lucario-woman, &ldquo;Dee?&rdquo;<br /><br />Tears welled up in Dee&rsquo;s eyes as her face broke down from uncertainty to warbling as all the sorrow she&rsquo;d moved past came flooding back to be replaced with unbridled joy and love as she flung herself at Helios, nearly knocking him over as she pulled him into a tight hug, sobbing her heart out, &ldquo;HELIOS! YOU&rsquo;RE ALIVE! THANK ARCEUS YOU&rsquo;RE ALIVE!&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios could barely withstand the hug as Dee loudly cried and held him close, not wanting to let go lest this moment end. &ldquo;I-I never,&rdquo; she choked up, &ldquo;I thought I&rsquo;d never see you agahahaaaain!&rdquo; She wailed and hugged him even tighter.<br /><br />Helios snapped out of it and pulled Dee into a tight hug of his own, &ldquo;Dee! Praise Moltres! I&hellip; I&hellip;&rdquo; he teared up as well when Dee looked up into his eyes and they kissed, deep and hard, their emotions mixing together with sorrow, joy and relief while so much trouble and anger evaporated around them as they hugged, kissed and cried.<br /><br />Crafty smiled and slung her rifle over her back, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think we have to worry.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee eventually broke away from Helios and wiped her eyes. Happy tears still streamed down her face as her smile lit up the darkening sky and she turned to her new friends. &ldquo;Crafty, Holly, Frankie, this is my mate: Helios of the Moltres&rsquo; Embers.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios rubbed his face then waved to the three, &ldquo;Hi, it&rsquo;s nice to meet you all.&rdquo; Then he turned back to Dee and carefully caressed her face, &ldquo;I know it&rsquo;s you, but what happened, Dee?&rdquo; he stepped back to get a better look at her, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re shiny, and damn you&rsquo;ve somehow gotten hotter and&hellip; where&rsquo;s your chest spike?&rdquo; He pointed at the top of her chest.<br /><br />Dee touched the scar her where chest spike had been, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a very long story, we all have one of those,&rdquo; she wiped her eyes then looked over at her new friends, &ldquo;We should all share them now, catch you up to speed.&rdquo; She turned back to Helios and took his hands in her own, &ldquo;And I want to know what happened to you and the Moltres&rsquo; Embers.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios&rsquo; face became serious, &ldquo;The Kogun happened.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios was forestalled from his story for a while as he was invited to eat and listen to everyone else at one of the picnic tables on the upper level. While Helios was famished, he forced himself to eat at a steady pace as he listened first to everything that had happened to Dee since they went their separate ways over six years ago, then to Crafty, Holly and Frankie&rsquo;s own stories. By the end of it he had an arm around Dee&rsquo;s waist as she leaned up against his side, her arm around his middle too.<br /><br />They sat in silence for a time before Dee spoke, &ldquo;Helios, please tell me what happened.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios stared at the table with only the scraps of his meal for a minute before he spoke. &ldquo;We traveled east, but slowly because we kept trying to find places to hunt and forage and kept hoping we could just stay a step or two ahead of the NKR instead of being absorbed. We came to the river three years ago and decided it could form a powerful barrier between us and the NKR, so we crossed. At first we thought it was peaceful, no raiders, no NKR but no other tribes either. Then the Kogun attacked us. We defeated the first group we encountered but then they came in force and slaughtered or captured all of us, but even after that we resisted being enslaved until&hellip;&rdquo; Helios took a deep breath and turned to Dee, &ldquo;They forced us to fight to the death in their combat pits to train their Ashigaru. Cambu, Helfra, Falvy and Chief Raz&rsquo;Ooga&hellip; They&rsquo;re all dead. They forced me to watch all of them die then said I wasn&rsquo;t worthy to die an &lsquo;honorable death in combat&rsquo; since I had evil technology stuck to my arm that I refused to remove.&rdquo; He looked at his Rotom-boy then up to Holly, &ldquo;Thank you for rescuing me,&rdquo; he removed his arm from around Dee and stood up away from the table and started to walk away to the south.<br /><br />Dee jumped up, &ldquo;Helios, wait!&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios didn&rsquo;t stop, his tail flame igniting higher, &ldquo;No! I&rsquo;m going back to their camp to burn everything down! Then I&rsquo;m going to find Nobunaga and set his whole Kogun on fire!&rdquo;<br /><br />Before Helios could take another step, Dee ran to him and grabbed him in a tight hug around the middle from behind so strongly that he couldn&rsquo;t take another step.<br /><br />&ldquo;Helios, please don&rsquo;t do this,&rdquo; Dee whispered, &ldquo;I just found you again, please don&rsquo;t leave me.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios turned to her fire still burning in his eyes, &ldquo;Dee, I have to stop them, to pay them back for everything they&rsquo;ve done!&rdquo; his wings rose but he didn&rsquo;t move.<br /><br />Dee still held fast, &ldquo;I know. Nobunaga&rsquo;s Kogun has to be stopped, but not like this. Don&rsquo;t throw your life away for revenge.&rdquo; She released his middle then slid in front of him and took his hands, &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll stop them, somehow, and we&rsquo;ll do it together.&rdquo; Tears once again welled up in her eyes, &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t lose you again.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios stared back and felt his anger evaporate, at least a little. &ldquo;I want to make them hurt, make them pay.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know how you feel, like I did with the Think Tank,&rdquo; Dee clutched a hand to her chest, &ldquo;I still regret how I reacted, why I did it. Revenge like that will just leave you feeling empty inside.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios caressed Dee&rsquo;s face and she touched the same clawed hand, &ldquo;Dee, I&hellip; I can&rsquo;t leave this. I can&rsquo;t let them just keep murdering tribes or their histories.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry your tribe&rsquo;s gone, it&rsquo;s just you and Volca up in Hisui left,&rdquo; Dee pulled his hand down from her face.<br /><br />Helios looked deep into her quivering eyes, &ldquo;Dee, I&rsquo;ve missed you so much,&rdquo; his anger died down as he finally felt his energy crash from running on adrenaline so long as he felt something spark to life in his heart that he thought was gone forever. He pulled her close into a hug, &ldquo;As long as I have you, Dee, I&rsquo;ll survive. Together, we can be our own tribe.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee couldn&rsquo;t help but tear up again as she looked up into her mate&rsquo;s eyes, no longer clouded by bloodlust, &ldquo;We will. You&rsquo;re my home, Helios. I missed you so much.&rdquo; They closed their eyes and gently kissed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, now that that&rsquo;s settled, we should make our next plan,&rdquo; Crafty said as Dee and Helios just kept kissing. Crafty laughed, &ldquo;Whenever you&rsquo;re done, I&rsquo;m in no rush.&rdquo;<br /><br />Thankfully, Frankie&rsquo;s old home was currently unoccupied. As the five of them sat around a campfire, Holly pulled a set of folded files out of her bag.<br /><br />Crafty glanced over at the files, &ldquo;What are those?&rdquo;<br /><br />Holly smirked, &ldquo;The Kogun&rsquo;s raid plans for the next few months, looks a little too clean to have been looked at much.&rdquo; She flipped through the files, &ldquo;I bet the NKR will pay a lot for this.&rdquo;<br /><br />Crafty grinned, &ldquo;Perfect, we can give it to their people at the Kalos outpost when we go see Alex.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios growled, &ldquo;Not gonna bring down the Kogun that way.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee put her arm around Helios, &ldquo;Small steps. We&rsquo;ll do it, I promise.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios sighed then looked down at the tattered remains of his clothes, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m gonna need some better gear.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll stop by Melany&rsquo;s junk shop, she should have something,&rdquo; Dee turned and gave Helios a kiss on the cheek, &ldquo;But let&rsquo;s rest, we have a long walk ahead of us.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios turned to kiss Dee, &ldquo;Alright, I missed getting real sleep.&rdquo; They got up and walked some distance away to get a little privacy. As they couldn&rsquo;t pitch the tent in the remaining road pavement they just set out their bedrolls and lay down beside each other.<br /><br />Helios smiled and caressed Dee&rsquo;s face, &ldquo;Moltres, I missed you so much. I never thought we&rsquo;d be together again.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee pressed Helios&rsquo; hand into her face as she started to tear up again, &ldquo;I thought you were dead, I never dreamed I&rsquo;d see you again.&rdquo; She leaned into the hands, &ldquo;I feel safe now that you&rsquo;re back.&rdquo;<br /><br />Helios chuckled, &ldquo;Safe with me? Dee, you&rsquo;re so much stronger than me, I should feel safe with you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee smiled, &ldquo;I know, but it doesn&rsquo;t change how I feel.&rdquo; They pulled closer and kissed, &ldquo;I love you, Helios.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I love you too Dee,&rdquo; he smirked as their snouts almost touched, &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know you were into girls too, and here I thought you couldn&rsquo;t get any sexier after I saw how much you&rsquo;ve grown,&rdquo; he reached down to grab her ass.<br /><br />Dee gasped and blushed, &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t think so either, until Holly. It was nice,&rdquo; she ran her hands over Helios now rock-hard chest and some of the scars that weren&rsquo;t there before, &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve only gotten hotter too. What&rsquo;s it like to have wings?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Was awkward at first, having two new limbs, but I got used to it,&rdquo; Helios squeezed one of Dee&rsquo;s breasts, &ldquo;Damn, Dee, how do you keep these huge puppies so firm?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;A little trick I learned from Lloyd,&rdquo; Dee kissed him again.<br /><br />They were starting to get hot and heavy when Helios yawned and rubbed his eyes, &ldquo;Sorry, Dee, I&rsquo;m completely spent.&rdquo;<br /><br />Dee nodded and snuggled close, &ldquo;I get it, first time you can sleep in peace in years.&rdquo; She yawned too, &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll have time to catch up where we left off. Good night, Helios, I love you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I love you too, Dee, good night,&rdquo; they kissed then fell asleep together.<br /></span>",
