me.\n\n[url=https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5k34vsdhulxa4zy/AAAgzBMg9monSE43hH5wc224a?dl=0]Link to the illustrations which are embedded in the story.[/url]\n\n------------------------------------------\n\n\nThe sounds of battle raging outside are ever-present, even within the thick-walled rooms of the underground bunker complex, but at the moment barely more than a vague reminder of the upcoming mission to the cheetah and clouded leopard who lazily mill around a conspicuous delivery tube – both of their distended bellies sagging prominently from angular shapes which shift under their hide.\n\n'Your turn now, Naja, I got to let this load settle again before I can take in more.' says the clouded leopard before settling down on the floor to let her mildly churning belly rest on it.\n\n'Sure, Kara! Haven't filled my quota yet either, they were really pushing our limit this time!' the cheetah quips in reply and lugs her belly closer to the clouded leopard, sitting up to lean into the delivery tube with her forepaws just before an ammo box rolls out into her waiting maw to go down her gullet soon enough.\n\nWith the sound of fighting waxing and waning beyond the bunker's walls along with the odd trembling rumble caused by a close hit, the two felines take turns ingesting plastic-shelled ammo boxes from the tube until their heavy bellies nearly drag on the floor, at which point their flip the tube's lid shut to start waddling towards a steel double door on one of the walls. A few quick raps with a clawed paw causes the doors to slide open, so that they reveal a foyer lined with feral armour racks along with a truly massive outer door that leads to the trenches. With as much grace as the due is able to muster with their overfilled guts, they walk inside the armour racks which swiftly equip them with lightweight combat armour and comms gear.\n\nOnce they're fully geared up, Naja waddles over to the controls of the large door to press a lever down – the inner door slamming shut before the large door begins its creaky slide into the bunker's walls. Their noses scrunch up immediately as acrid smoke and dust rolls inside through the opening, pock-market concrete trench walls and loud booms from afar welcoming them as they briskly walk through the door to begin their trek. \n\nThe blasted landscape of the battlefield gradually comes into view as they ascend from the concrete-lined trench – all the fighting appears to be still rather far ahead with only distant flashes and smoke clouds giving clues into positions of the fighting forces, and thus they have time to pause for a review of the latest map which Naja projects into the air.\n\n\n'Lessee… we're supposed to deliver this ammo aaaall the way over there, so we can either take this long route here and here, or we can take a shortcut through here… not really looking forward to this run!' the cheetah explains with her forepaw pointing at various spots on the snaking trenchlines which fill the projected map, looking back at the uneasy clouded leopard.\n\n'You sure if that shortcut is going to be safe? Cuts pretty close to where the enemy lines are supposed to be…'\n\n'No idea! But we're pretty dark slow as we are with all this ammo and you know how the gun crews are, we might end up with both of our bellies cut open if they're really low when we finally make it there!'\n\nIn response, the clouded leopard shivers and flicks her tail 'I'd rather not even if it's in the contract – so lets take that shortcut!'\n\nAll said, Naja shuts off the map and the two head into the breach by slipping into the first crumbling trench which they come across. At first their trip seems almost too easy as the trench has avoided the worst of the fighting so it's relatively easy to navigate even for their huge girths, and there's nothing much going on in the sector either. But it eventually gets worse as they approach the active battlezone since the empty trenches become increasingly dilapidated, forcing the duo to take alternate routes to get around cave-ins and drag their underbellies over rough ground in spots where the infilling from crumbling sides makes it impossible to stand and avoid being seen.\n\nEventually the constant bombardment and other action is intense enough that progress seems almost impossible at times even if there's good cover available due to earth being liberally thrown around by close hits, pieces of hot shrapnel whizzing past sporadically, air dropped mines littering nooks and crannies, and all is topped off by the fear of long-distance snipers every time the two have to emerge to trudge from one part of the disjointed trench network to another. Seeing how the heavily laden bellies of cargo ferals had become a fair and quite exciting target to snipers looking to puncture or outright explode their stomachs before they would reach their destinations!\n\n'Grrr, my poor belly, I don't like this at all! Where's that shortcut of yours, Naja?' Kara hisses over the roar of explosions and closing vehicle engines as the two crawl in wet mud at the bottom of a wide tank obstacle dig, the ammo boxes painfull grinding against their stomach linings thanks to their hasty pace.\n\n' Almost there! We just need to take a trench which goes right from over there and we should be able to skip tons of ground without ending up right in the middle of the fighting!' the cheetah replies and nods towards a fork ahead.\n\n\nUpon seeing the route they're about to take, the clouded leopard hesitates and sniffs the air before following the cheetah who is already squeezing her girth into the narrow opening. 'Something about this makes me anxious… but lets go, I'd rather not start going around the whole battle now.' \n\nNaja hardly acknowledges her partner's misgivings as she focuses on getting ahead with her heavy aching belly which keeps dragging against the walls of the covered access trench which is more akin to a tunnel, only paying enough attention to Kara to make sure she's still right behind her instead of stuck somewhere with her oversized stomach ammo load. The dank smells of burnt gunpowder, burning fuel, putrid water and general decay seep into their nostrils as they push past waterlogged wooden beams, their tails twisting anxiously as they hope not to accidentally collapse anything onto themselves. And to make the trek even more perilous, every so often their tails poof reflexively when an artillery shell lands somewhere nearby so that the whole trench trembles violently and muddy earth sprays from the walls.\n\nAfter what feels like an eternity of trudging in the narrow winding tunnel-like trenches with their awkwardly wide bellies which churn painfully around their heavy angular loads, the two suddenly come out right inside a mostly ruined building – wary, but simultaneously glad to be in uncramped quarters again as they look around amid the rubble.\n\n'See! It was a bit tricky since I didn't think that route would be in such terrible condition, but here we are!' Naja chirps triumphantly while shaking her paws and wiping her muzzle into the side of her armour.\n\n'Hisss, ewww, I think I'm still tasting the – also I wonder why it looks like someone has cleared out some of this – '\n\nKara is unable to finish her sentence though before someone bursts into middle of the ruins like a blur from behind a leaning brick wall, yelling. 'Stop! Who goes there? Any funny business and I'll shoot!'\n\n\nMere seconds later the two overburdened felines realize they're facing a rather vicious looking hyena from the enemy side, ending up at the wrong end of her submachine gun before they are even able to think about scrambling – not that it would be an option either with their massive ammo-laden bellies hindering their every move.\n\nThe hyena soldier however has none of it and immediately brandishes her weapon threateningly. 'Hold it! You're not going anywhere – face towards me and forepaws up! Now what are you two interlopers hauling in those really big looking guts?'\n\n'Me-medical supplies for the frontlines! Don't shoot!' Kara blurts immediately as the two felines clumsily turn towards the hyena, the clouded leopard's stomach spasming under her suit as she sits down along with her partner.\n\nSuspiciously eyeing the two felines she has apprehended, the hyena steps a little closer with her weapon pointed at her captives while observing their flicking tails and splayed ears. 'I don't really believe you, cat, but I ain't have time to start checking on it now – you'll come with me and my squad'll see to you!' she barks at the nervously squirming feline, motioning both of them to start moving towards the opening she used earlier – waiting for the anxious looking felines to waddle ahead before she follows.\nThe maze of shattered buildings and clutter-filled streets which the longer normal route would have avoided, turns out to be a serious obstacle to Kara and Naja who struggle to haul their bellies over or around the copious amount of wreckage along a narrow path which evidently has been recently cleared, both growing winded as rapidly as their captor's patience grows thin. Thankfully just as it seems that the huffing hyeness is going to literally start kicking more speed into them, the two felines arrive at a makeshift camp built on a small market square in front of a surprisingly intact brick building – perhaps a bank, perhaps a town hall, it matters little to the felines whose stomachs roil fearfully as more soldiers congregate around them.\n\n'Hey, look what I found wandering out at the edge of the village! You want to check these two out the usual way too?' the hyena soldier hollers at the others, making the felines flinch and meow when the group suddenly descends on them to start pulling off their armour and other gear. In response, the hyena shrugs and holsters her weapon to join in to hold the squirming captives in place. 'I guess that answers that, let me help with that too!'\nFew hours later\n\nEarlier, the two felines had gritted their teeth during the stripping of their armour and gear, due to the expectation of being cut open for supplies at any moment before being disposed of – but instead they had been ultimately ushered inside the lone standing building for a rather different kind of fate, seemingly because their captors had become more interested in their own amusement than efficiency as the fighting had severely diminished based on the noises coming from beyond the ruined village. First they were led inside a temporary jail constructed within one of the surviving rooms, then ordered to turn their rumps towards some hanging piping and hosing which had apparently been used to pump muddy water out of trenches at some point, and finally forced to take expanding nozzles deep within their tailholes to securely plug them up and connect their insides to the piping after much hissing protesting and squirming. It was obvious what would follow next – one soldier at a time would man the large hand pump to fill the innards of the captive felines with brackish water.\n\n\nBut that was some time ago already, and right now both ammo hauling cats are feeling the strain as the throbbing of their guts is reaching agonizing levels and their paws have been lifted high off the floor by their steadily expanding girths. Every few minutes one of them burps as water and churning pushes remaining air out of their stomachs while they throw embarrassed looks at each others 'progress'.\n'Nnrrrgh… I'm sorry that this didn't work quite the way I thought… yeeek, my insides!' Naja whines, and bucks when yet another surge of water hits her painfully swollen and sensitive intestines.\n\nKara in turn writhes restlessly on top of her gurgling and wallowing belly as water pulses into her bloated colon, peering behind herself. 'Oooof, owww, I should've listened to my gut feeling and told you that we have to take the longer route! Because now my gut's about to explode because of that idea of your- eeep!'\n\n'Good, keep on squabbling!Makes this boring watch much more fun!' the german shepherd manning the pump laughs as he gives the handle a stronger than normal yank. 'Remember, one of you is going to burst before the other and we already have bet going… we might even let the other one leave and tell the tale.' \n\n'Can't we still -hic- discuss this?

------------------------------------------
The sounds of battle raging outside are ever-present, even within the thick-walled rooms of the underground bunker complex, but at the moment barely more than a vague reminder of the upcoming mission to the cheetah and clouded leopard who lazily mill around a conspicuous delivery tube – both of their distended bellies sagging prominently from angular shapes which shift under their hide.
'Your turn now, Naja, I got to let this load settle again before I can take in more.' says the clouded leopard before settling down on the floor to let her mildly churning belly rest on it.
'Sure, Kara! Haven't filled my quota yet either, they were really pushing our limit this time!' the cheetah quips in reply and lugs her belly closer to the clouded leopard, sitting up to lean into the delivery tube with her forepaws just before an ammo box rolls out into her waiting maw to go down her gullet soon enough.
With the sound of fighting waxing and waning beyond the bunker's walls along with the odd trembling rumble caused by a close hit, the two felines take turns ingesting plastic-shelled ammo boxes from the tube until their heavy bellies nearly drag on the floor, at which point their flip the tube's lid shut to start waddling towards a steel double door on one of the walls. A few quick raps with a clawed paw causes the doors to slide open, so that they reveal a foyer lined with feral armour racks along with a truly massive outer door that leads to the trenches. With as much grace as the due is able to muster with their overfilled guts, they walk inside the armour racks which swiftly equip them with lightweight combat armour and comms gear.
Once they're fully geared up, Naja waddles over to the controls of the large door to press a lever down – the inner door slamming shut before the large door begins its creaky slide into the bunker's walls. Their noses scrunch up immediately as acrid smoke and dust rolls inside through the opening, pock-market concrete trench walls and loud booms from afar welcoming them as they briskly walk through the door to begin their trek.
The blasted landscape of the battlefield gradually comes into view as they ascend from the concrete-lined trench – all the fighting appears to be still rather far ahead with only distant flashes and smoke clouds giving clues into positions of the fighting forces, and thus they have time to pause for a review of the latest map which Naja projects into the air.
'Lessee… we're supposed to deliver this ammo aaaall the way over there, so we can either take this long route here and here, or we can take a shortcut through here… not really looking forward to this run!' the cheetah explains with her forepaw pointing at various spots on the snaking trenchlines which fill the projected map, looking back at the uneasy clouded leopard.
'You sure if that shortcut is going to be safe? Cuts pretty close to where the enemy lines are supposed to be…'
'No idea! But we're pretty dark slow as we are with all this ammo and you know how the gun crews are, we might end up with both of our bellies cut open if they're really low when we finally make it there!'
In response, the clouded leopard shivers and flicks her tail 'I'd rather not even if it's in the contract – so lets take that shortcut!'
All said, Naja shuts off the map and the two head into the breach by slipping into the first crumbling trench which they come across. At first their trip seems almost too easy as the trench has avoided the worst of the fighting so it's relatively easy to navigate even for their huge girths, and there's nothing much going on in the sector either. But it eventually gets worse as they approach the active battlezone since the empty trenches become increasingly dilapidated, forcing the duo to take alternate routes to get around cave-ins and drag their underbellies over rough ground in spots where the infilling from crumbling sides makes it impossible to stand and avoid being seen.
Eventually the constant bombardment and other action is intense enough that progress seems almost impossible at times even if there's good cover available due to earth being liberally thrown around by close hits, pieces of hot shrapnel whizzing past sporadically, air dropped mines littering nooks and crannies, and all is topped off by the fear of long-distance snipers every time the two have to emerge to trudge from one part of the disjointed trench network to another. Seeing how the heavily laden bellies of cargo ferals had become a fair and quite exciting target to snipers looking to puncture or outright explode their stomachs before they would reach their destinations!
'Grrr, my poor belly, I don't like this at all! Where's that shortcut of yours, Naja?' Kara hisses over the roar of explosions and closing vehicle engines as the two crawl in wet mud at the bottom of a wide tank obstacle dig, the ammo boxes painfull grinding against their stomach linings thanks to their hasty pace.
' Almost there! We just need to take a trench which goes right from over there and we should be able to skip tons of ground without ending up right in the middle of the fighting!' the cheetah replies and nods towards a fork ahead.
Upon seeing the route they're about to take, the clouded leopard hesitates and sniffs the air before following the cheetah who is already squeezing her girth into the narrow opening. 'Something about this makes me anxious… but lets go, I'd rather not start going around the whole battle now.'
Naja hardly acknowledges her partner's misgivings as she focuses on getting ahead with her heavy aching belly which keeps dragging against the walls of the covered access trench which is more akin to a tunnel, only paying enough attention to Kara to make sure she's still right behind her instead of stuck somewhere with her oversized stomach ammo load. The dank smells of burnt gunpowder, burning fuel, putrid water and general decay seep into their nostrils as they push past waterlogged wooden beams, their tails twisting anxiously as they hope not to accidentally collapse anything onto themselves. And to make the trek even more perilous, every so often their tails poof reflexively when an artillery shell lands somewhere nearby so that the whole trench trembles violently and muddy earth sprays from the walls.
After what feels like an eternity of trudging in the narrow winding tunnel-like trenches with their awkwardly wide bellies which churn painfully around their heavy angular loads, the two suddenly come out right inside a mostly ruined building – wary, but simultaneously glad to be in uncramped quarters again as they look around amid the rubble.
'See! It was a bit tricky since I didn't think that route would be in such terrible condition, but here we are!' Naja chirps triumphantly while shaking her paws and wiping her muzzle into the side of her armour.
'Hisss, ewww, I think I'm still tasting the – also I wonder why it looks like someone has cleared out some of this – '
Kara is unable to finish her sentence though before someone bursts into middle of the ruins like a blur from behind a leaning brick wall, yelling. 'Stop! Who goes there? Any funny business and I'll shoot!'
Mere seconds later the two overburdened felines realize they're facing a rather vicious looking hyena from the enemy side, ending up at the wrong end of her submachine gun before they are even able to think about scrambling – not that it would be an option either with their massive ammo-laden bellies hindering their every move.
The hyena soldier however has none of it and immediately brandishes her weapon threateningly. 'Hold it! You're not going anywhere – face towards me and forepaws up! Now what are you two interlopers hauling in those really big looking guts?'
'Me-medical supplies for the frontlines! Don't shoot!' Kara blurts immediately as the two felines clumsily turn towards the hyena, the clouded leopard's stomach spasming under her suit as she sits down along with her partner.
Suspiciously eyeing the two felines she has apprehended, the hyena steps a little closer with her weapon pointed at her captives while observing their flicking tails and splayed ears. 'I don't really believe you, cat, but I ain't have time to start checking on it now – you'll come with me and my squad'll see to you!' she barks at the nervously squirming feline, motioning both of them to start moving towards the opening she used earlier – waiting for the anxious looking felines to waddle ahead before she follows.
The maze of shattered buildings and clutter-filled streets which the longer normal route would have avoided, turns out to be a serious obstacle to Kara and Naja who struggle to haul their bellies over or around the copious amount of wreckage along a narrow path which evidently has been recently cleared, both growing winded as rapidly as their captor's patience grows thin. Thankfully just as it seems that the huffing hyeness is going to literally start kicking more speed into them, the two felines arrive at a makeshift camp built on a small market square in front of a surprisingly intact brick building – perhaps a bank, perhaps a town hall, it matters little to the felines whose stomachs roil fearfully as more soldiers congregate around them.
'Hey, look what I found wandering out at the edge of the village! You want to check these two out the usual way too?' the hyena soldier hollers at the others, making the felines flinch and meow when the group suddenly descends on them to start pulling off their armour and other gear. In response, the hyena shrugs and holsters her weapon to join in to hold the squirming captives in place. 'I guess that answers that, let me help with that too!'
Few hours later
Earlier, the two felines had gritted their teeth during the stripping of their armour and gear, due to the expectation of being cut open for supplies at any moment before being disposed of – but instead they had been ultimately ushered inside the lone standing building for a rather different kind of fate, seemingly because their captors had become more interested in their own amusement than efficiency as the fighting had severely diminished based on the noises coming from beyond the ruined village. First they were led inside a temporary jail constructed within one of the surviving rooms, then ordered to turn their rumps towards some hanging piping and hosing which had apparently been used to pump muddy water out of trenches at some point, and finally forced to take expanding nozzles deep within their tailholes to securely plug them up and connect their insides to the piping after much hissing protesting and squirming. It was obvious what would follow next – one soldier at a time would man the large hand pump to fill the innards of the captive felines with brackish water.
But that was some time ago already, and right now both ammo hauling cats are feeling the strain as the throbbing of their guts is reaching agonizing levels and their paws have been lifted high off the floor by their steadily expanding girths. Every few minutes one of them burps as water and churning pushes remaining air out of their stomachs while they throw embarrassed looks at each others 'progress'.
'Nnrrrgh… I'm sorry that this didn't work quite the way I thought… yeeek, my insides!' Naja whines, and bucks when yet another surge of water hits her painfully swollen and sensitive intestines.
Kara in turn writhes restlessly on top of her gurgling and wallowing belly as water pulses into her bloated colon, peering behind herself. 'Oooof, owww, I should've listened to my gut feeling and told you that we have to take the longer route! Because now my gut's about to explode because of that idea of your- eeep!'
'Good, keep on squabbling!Makes this boring watch much more fun!' the german shepherd manning the pump laughs as he gives the handle a stronger than normal yank. 'Remember, one of you is going to burst before the other and we already have bet going… we might even let the other one leave and tell the tale.'
'Can't we still -hic- discuss this? Wouldn't it be better if we both got back, you could have everything we are carrying? Pleaaase, we were unarmed! Something's going to rupture inside me really soon!' Kara grovels loudly with her tail swishing, pressing her muzzle into her forepaws as she dry heaves suddenly from the excruciating pressure within her stomach.
Seeing and hearing how the guard simply snorts at the plea before resuming the steady pumping which makes both of their taut bellies tremble slightly. 'Gyaaah… I don't think that's going to save us, Kara – owwww, my stomach's about to pop as well!' the cheetah yowls and throws her head back, her lithe body flexing as ominous shoots across her over-stretched stomach lining.
Ammo packages rolling and sloshing lazily within their bellies to add to the torment of stomachs at the verge of bursting, the feline ammo couriers meow and hiss as they clutch their enormously distended bellies in vain and wait for the inevitable under the hazy light of evening sun filtering through the broken window on the wall…","writing":"","writing_bbcode_parsed":"","pools_count":1,"title":"Bellies & Ammo","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"image/jpeg","pagecount":"5","rating_id":"1","rating_name":"Mature","ratings":[{"content_tag_id":"2","name":"Nudity","description":"Nonsexual nudity exposing breasts or genitals (must not show arousal)","rating_id":"1"},{"content_tag_id":"3","name":"Violence","description":"Mild violence","rating_id":"1"}],"submission_type_id":"1","type_name":"Picture/Pinup","guest_block":"t","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"1","views":"439","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","latest_file_name":"2115791_erkki_felicats5.jpg","latest_mimetype":"image/jpeg","latest_file_url_full":"https://nl.ib.metapix.net/files/full/2115/2115791_erkki_felicats5.jpg","latest_file_url_screen":"https://nl.ib.metapix.net/files/screen/2115/2115791_erkki_felicats5.jpg","latest_file_url_preview":"https://nl.ib.metapix.net/files/preview/2115/2115791_erkki_felicats5.jpg","latest_thumbnail_url_huge_noncustom":"https://nl.ib.metapix.net/files/preview/2115/2115791_erkki_felicats5.jpg","latest_thumbnail_url_large_noncustom":"https://nl.ib.metapix.net/thumbnails/large/2115/2115791_erkki_felicats5_noncustom.jpg","latest_thumbnail_url_medium_noncustom":"https://nl.ib.metapix.net/thumbnails/medium/2115/2115791_erkki_felicats5_noncustom.jpg","latest_thumb_medium_noncustom_x":"120","latest_thumb_medium_noncustom_y":"90","latest_thumb_large_noncustom_x":"200","latest_thumb_large_noncustom_y":"150","latest_thumb_huge_noncustom_x":"300","latest_thumb_huge_noncustom_y":"225","digital_price":""}
