Guardians of Alicrest: Bad End 1: The Consequences of Cowardice

"This is the most fun I've had in ages! You two make great rag-dolls, but I bet you'll make even better meals. Now prepare to get nice and comfortable... in my stomach!" Nefarious said triumphantly.

He floated the battered Mienshao in front of him. She stared at him defiantly, but otherwise didn't say a word. Nefarious chuckled at her a little.

"So stoic, even in the face of certain death. We'll be sure to fix that though." Nefarious said before running his tongue under her chin, sampling her flavor.

This sent a shiver through her body which Nefarious picked up on.

"Now that's what I like to see. That fear, it's so delicious" Nefarious licked his lips "Why don't we coax some more of that fear out?"

Nefarious levitated the Mienshao so her body was parallel with the ground and opened his mouth wide. The Mienshao's eyes grew wide as she stared down the abyssal pit of flesh. Saliva oozed from the roof of his mouth and powerful throat muscles quivered in anticipation of their impending meal. Soon the Mienshao found herself floating towards the gaping maw. Without warning, Nefarious engulfed her head, cutting her off from the outside world.

"Ming, no!" the Meowstic yelled.

He wanted to blast that smug Grumpig's face off, but was too weak from the beating they had received to muster up any energy for an attack. He could only watch as Nefarious enjoyed consuming his partner. And enjoy it he did. The Mienshao had began to struggle fruitlessly in her psychic bond. He ran his tongue across her head and face, enjoying the flavor and squirms it drew from her. Once he was satisfied, he pushed her head further into his mouth, reaching the back of his throat. The Mienshao felt tight throat muscles grasp her muzzle and pull her further inward.

Outside the Meowstic watched as more and more of the Mienshao disappeared down Nefarious's throat. He was forced to hear the disgusting slurps and squelches as Nefarious continued to lick over his struggling meal. Meanwhile inside, muscles rippled around the Mienshao as peristalsis pulled her ever deeper into the gluttonous Grumpig's body. For a brief moment she felt he muzzle press against a tighter ring of flesh, which soon slid open allowing her head to push into the putrid stomach. Her nose was immediately assaulted with the stench of death and decay. The Mienshao redoubled her efforts as she knew what that smell meant for her.

Outside the Mienshao's feet began to kick harder, signaling her increased distress. Nefarious had reached her thighs now, his mouth seeming to stretch impossibly wide as he gulped down her waist. The Mienshao could feel her head sink lower and lower into the stomach as more of her body was gulped down. Soon her head brush up against something. It felt soft and fleshy, but not like the moist warm flesh currently constricting her body. It seemed cold and lifeless, almost like... The Mienshao let out a cry of horror as she realized what she was touching. This must have been Nefarious's most recent victim and judging by how much of the body still felt intact, the victim had probably just died recently.

The Mienshao's cries went unheard by the outside world though as Nefarious continued to swallow the last few inches of his meal. The Mienshao's feet lost their ability to kick as they were pulled into Nefarious's maw. Nefarious closed his mouth before swallowing one last time, sending the the feet to join the rest of the Mienshao in his gut. Having polished of the Mienshao, Nefarious now turned his attention to the Meowstic.

"What was it you said earlier? That I had eaten my last victim? Well it looks like I just made a liar out of you." Nefarious teased the Meowstic.

"You! I'll kill you! I swear I'll kill you!" the Meowstic shot back.

"Funny, you're the second Pokemon today to say that to me. And do you know what became of that other Pokemon?" Nefarious asked, pointing at his stomach.

The Meowstic continued to stare daggers at him for a few moments, but Nefarious could see the tears forming in his eyes.

"Yes, now you are starting to see. All of your lofty morals and ideals have amounted to nothing. You are nothing but a pathetic failure." Nefarious continued to torment the Meowstic "Don't worry though, I know the perfect place for failures like you. But first, we don't want you getting any ideas about teleporting out of there."

Nefarious looked the Meowstic straight in the eyes, his own eyes glowing a shade of red. The Meowstic could feel Nefarious assaulting his mind. He tried to fight back, but his fatigued mind was no match for Nefarious's overwhelming power. He could feel important pieces of knowledge being sealed off. Little by little he forgot how to use any of his Pokemon moves. When Nefarious was done, the Meowstic couldn't even use his most basic psychic abilities.

"Okay I think we've kept your little friend waiting long enough. She could probably use some company in her final moments." Nefarious said with a wicked grin.

Nefarious opened his mouth wide and levitated the Meowstic in before slamming his mouth shut, sealing the Meowstic inside. The Meowstic's smaller size made him fit much easier than the Mienshao. Nefarious's tongue worked over the Meowstic's body, soaking his fur in copious amounts of saliva. The Meowstic was disgusted as the tongue lapped over him like a piece of meat. He tried to struggle, but there was little room in the Grumpig's mouth to move. Not that it would have mattered much; He had always relied on his psychic abilities for offense, so he wasn't very strong physically. The Meowstic felt his body lurch forward as Nefarious attempted to pull him towards the back of his throat. The tongue assisted in pushing the Meowstic closer to the awaiting throat muscles. One more gulp pulled the Meowstic forward, allowing the throat muscles to grab his muzzle and begin his journey down the esophagus.

The Meowstic was completely surrounded by warm, moist flesh. He could feel the muscles ripple and pulsate around him as they worked to move him down the throat and into the gut. He couldn't see a thing and all he could hear were the gurgles and squelches of Nefarious's body. One gurgle in particular grew louder the lower he descended. He had no doubt that it was Nefarious's stomach, eagerly awaiting his arrival. Soon he felt an extra tight ring of flesh squeeze around his head as he crossed the threshold into the stomach. Almost immediately he was pressed against another slimy form, halting his entry for a moment. The muscles did not relent though, they continued to force his body into the tightly packed stomach. Eventually his feet were pushed through the closing sphincter, sealing him inside the caustic prison of flesh.

"I'm sorry Ming, I wasn't strong enough." He said, not even sure if the Mienshao could hear him.

Outside, Nefarious licked his lips in satisfaction.

"Now where did my dessert run off to?" he asked.

He looked around the room and spotted Ava pressed up against the wall, shaking in mortal terror. Ava couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. Nefarious had just eaten two Pokemon like it was nothing. It didn't seem possible, but she had just seen it with her own two eyes. He had eaten them, alive and whole. She shrank down as low as possible, as if it would somehow conceal her from the gaze of the ravenous maniac.

"Ah, there you are. Those two filled me up quite nicely, so it looks like you get to live for a little longer. Come, let's listen to their cries of agony together." he said as he levitated her off the ground and placed her back on top of his chest.

Inside, the stomach was packed to its limit, making things uncomfortably cramped for its residents. The Meowstic could hear the stomach gurgle and groan as it prepared to digests its latest additions. Gastric acid seeped from the stomach walls, slowly soaking through the duo's fur. It wasn't long before the Meowstic's skin began to itch as the digestive enzymes got to work breaking down his flesh. The Meowstic tried not to think about it, shifting his thoughts to his family. He had failed to create a world that was safe for them. All he could do now was pray that they never suffered this grizzly fate. Tears formed in his eyes as he realized he would never see them again.

A groan of pain pulled the Meowstic back to reality. Little had he known that the Mienshao was already suffering the sting of the vicious stomach acids. The gastric acid that had previously been dissolving Nefarious's old victims had already started attacking the Mienshao. Most of her fur had already fallen out and her skin burned unmercifully. She had a pretty high tolerance for pain, but she was quickly approaching her limit as the acids continued to eat away at her flesh.

The Meowstic could feel his fur beginning to fall out. The itching had escalated to a light burning sensation. He shifted about uncomfortably as the pain became harder and harder to ignore. He heard a whine of pain from the Mienshao. The acid had finally managed to breech her skin, sending sharp spikes of pain through her body. Blood seeped from her wounds, adding to the putrid chyme that surrounded her. Her whines turned to cries as the gastric acid invaded her body and began to tear down her muscles.

The Meowstic wasn't far behind. The digestive enzymes made quick work of his flesh and moved on to dissolving his muscles. His cries mixed in with the Mienshao's creating an unholy chorus of agony. Seconds seemed to stretch into minutes as their minds were overloaded with pain. Occasionally the stomach would contract around them, avidly working to tear their bodies apart. The only intelligent thought left in their minds was for the pain to please stop. They continued to cry out in pain until they no longer had the strength. The Mienshao was the first to be granted release as the acids managed to reach her internal organs, finally ending her suffering. The Meowstic was quick to follow, leaving both of their lifeless bodies to finish digesting in that caustic pit.

Ava was caught in a hellish limbo. On the one paw, each cry of anguish tore at her heart and escalated her already overwhelming terror. She wasn't sure how much more she could take and she just wanted it to stop. But on the other paw, she knew what the end of those cries would mean for her, so every moment longer the other two suffered was a moment longer that she got to live. Eventually the time came though. The cries from inside the stomach grew weaker and the struggles died down. A few ominous moments of silence filled the room before Nefarious let out a disgusting belch.

"Aw, delicious. I can't remember the last time I had such a satisfying meal." Nefarious said smugly "And the best part is I still have dessert to look forward to." he looked down at the Eevee sobbing on his chest.

"How? How can you be so cruel?" Ava asked him with pleading eyes.

Nefarious gave her a wicked grin "I guess I was just born lucky."

Ava was at a loss for words, her poor mind unable to comprehend how anyone could be so cruel. So she just lied there, crying the last few tears her body could muster. She was emotionally exhausted at this point; She didn't even react when Nefarious levitated her up and dangled her above his mouth. She just seemed to stare lifelessly into the abyssal pit that would be her final resting place. This actually drew a scowl from Nefarious as he expected more of a struggle.

"What's wrong? Don't want to beg for your life?" He asked, hoping to get a reaction, but Ava didn't respond "Fine, you'll be begging for mercy soon enough." he said before lowering her into his gaping maw.

Ava slid along his tongue and into his throat, giving Nefarious a nice long lick at her fur. He was careful not to swallow her yet; He wanted to enjoy his dessert. He ran his tongue along her small form, savoring every inch of her body. Saliva was slowing soaking into her fur, the large tuft around her neck taking extra long to soak through. Once Nefarious was satisfied, he took his first gulp, pulling Ava's muzzle into his esophagus. He took several more small gulps, slowly pulling the Eevee towards his stomach. Ava was still in a daze. The warm moist wall massaged her body as they pulled her down and the sound of Nerfarious's heartbeat was almost calming, allowing her thought began to wander.

She thought about her life before this. She had lived such a happy and carefree life. What a fool she was, ignorant to the true nature of this world. But still, she wished she could return to that life of ignorant bliss. Maybe this is what she deserved though. Perhaps if she had acted when she had the chance, she could have prevent this horrible fate. But no, she had been a coward and this was the consequence of her cowardice.

Ava was shaken from her melancholy thoughts as a putrid odor assaulted her nose. Her muzzle was pressed into some foul smelling mush that reeked of blood and acid. She suddenly became much more aware of her surroundings. She found herself compacted in a tight chamber of flesh, surrounded by the partially digested bodies of those who had come before. She had thought that nothing more could horrify her at this point, but she was wrong. She screamed out in pure horror at the hell she found herself in. Nefarious could vaguely hear the muffled scream through his belly and it put a smile on his face.

Ava writhed about frantically, but there was no escaping the macabre scene. As she continued to struggle, clumps of her fur began to fall off; The acid already soaking into her fur and dissolving her luscious coat. It wasn't long before she felt a stinging sensation creep along her skin. Ava increased her struggles as she sought to escape the ever rising tide of pain. Unfortunately there was nothing should could do against the thick, elastic stomach walls. She let out a yip of pain as first blood was drawn. The pain only got worse from there as the acids worked hard to dissolve her skin. It wasn't long before Ava forgot about the horror surrounding her; Her mind only able to focus on the pain that wracked her body.

Soon the stomach began to churn its contents, tearing at flesh and exposing muscle to the vicious gastric acids. Ava felt pain in places she didn't even know were possible as the digestive juices ate away at her muscles. Her struggles dies down as her body weakened. She couldn't do anything but wallow in the pain that consumed her entire body. Her mind begged for mercy, wished for sanctuary, pleaded for death. Time lost all meaning as she swam in a sea of pain. The digestive enzymes continued to tear apart her body for what felt like hours. Ava was finally granted respite from her suffering as the acids broke through to her internal organs. She could feel her senses dulling as her spirit left her body. In her final moment she did find one silver lining in her grim demise; At least she would be reunited with her parents.
