Chapter 1 Commander Greywolf looks out of a window on the second floor of a concrete bunker through the scope of her sniper rifle. Her sights are locked onto an anthro deer man in a green uniform, scouting the empty desert. He stands at the top of a dune and has a hand up to his forehead, shielding his eyes as he looks around. Greywolf fiddles with the knobs on the side of the scope, bringing the lens into focus. She lines up the crosshair, holds her breath and TSK~ The sharp hiss of the shot muffled by the silencer on the end of her gun, sound barely traveling a dozen feet before being caught by the air. There is a puff of blood from the back of the boy's head as the bullet hits him in the forehead, just above his hand. He sways for a moment on stiff straight legs, arms dropping down to his sides before he flops forward like a felled tree. He hits the sand and starts to roll down the dune, muscles relaxing as he does, body becoming a limp ragdoll before it settles splayed out on its belly in the sand at the bottom of the dune, covered in sand from rolling, blood pooling around his head, having left a red trail on the way down. He shamelessly pisses his pants as he lays there in the warm morning sun, as still as a rock “Got em” Greywolf whispers to herself, zooming her view out to better scan the field, checking the sandstone ruins that dot the hundreds of small dunes that make up the crater scarred but otherwise unsettlingly clean battlefield. This was the first body to fall on the sand that day and the grey herd had been busy cleaning up the previous night. Her view pans up upon hearing the far off roar of a jet engine disturb the silence. She sees a small black winged fighter plane approaching from the city in the distance and notices a pair of lights reaching out in front of it followed by streaks of white smoke. Missiles. And they were heading right for her. After a second of thought she tosses her rifle to the side, jumps back from the window, steps back a few feet to give herself a running start then lunges for the window, jumps out and rolls upon hitting the ground, conserving her momentum as she translates her role into a combat slide, expertly getting to her feet then darting to one side, running fast on the sand, looking over the stacked wall of concrete fortresses that face the desert for a good new sniping spot, making a long strafing jump into the doorway of a building as the missiles crash into the building she was previously stationed in, one missile hitting the wall next to the window she was at and tearing off half the roof of that room, the second hitting the lower floor making the building lean to the side as it crumbles under its weight, billowing out a cloud of dust and smoke, the boom echoing through the village she defends and rules over. Commander Greywolf wipes the sweat from her brow and pulls out a new copy of her sniper rifle, ready for more. Chapter 2 A pink fox girl, Vixi, dashes across the sand, she ducks between broken down sandstone ruins as bullets smack into the sand and brick around her, closing on her target. She gets within 20ft of the yellow fox who is decked out head to toe in black kevlar armor with only their fluffy yellow ears and tail showing outside of their suit, a gas mask over their face. Vixi fires a line of shots up her targets front from her small smg and watches as they briefly shake side to side from the impacts then stiffen and fall back. She plops herself down on her belly in the sand in front of them, too impatient to lower herself properly then crawls up on her victim “lets see what we got here” she says to herself as she licks her lips and pulls down the corpses pants A 6 inch yellow, slightly furry penis springs out, semi-hard, freed from its confines. “Awww <3” she coos, like it's the most adorable thing she's ever seen “a boy~” she reaches down to fish out his fluffy nuts from their place between his well muscled thighs that are quite soft now that they have relaxed in death, she plays with his balls a bit and then strokes his cock some, giggling as she feels the pee rush through it as his bladder relaxes. She moves up and pulls his mask off, sitting down over his crotch, straddling him as she reveals his handsome fluffy face, his eyes are half lidded and look sleepy, dilated even though they were looking up at the sun, mouth in a slightly open frown which she kisses as she grinds her pussy against his gradually softening penis, hugging his armored body tight as she makes out with him shamelessly A fellow bandit comes by “captain?” the yellow cat lady in tan kevlar armor asks cautiously. A jolt runs up Vixis spine and she spins over onto her back next to the dead boy and sits up “y-yes??” she says blushing heavily, the cat looks at the guys penis, blushes a little then back to her leader “just heard the gunfire and came running” she pauses, red in the face at having interrupted her commander “pretty cute right?” Vixi asks while propping his back up with one arm and holding his face steady with her other hand to look at the cat with his blind dead eyes. “Y-yeah” the cat curls her tail around one leg “no need to be shy. You can join us if you like” Vixi says curling up next to the guy The cat smiles brightly and comes over, both cuddling him in the warm morning sun for a while Chapter 3 The ear of a pink eyed yellow fox girl twitches as she hears the sound of an explosion from over the northern wall of her fortress village, the greywolf soldier looks to her friend, a slimmer yellow eyed soldier in the same black full body armor she wears, they look almost the same in the gas masks they wear over their faces except for their size and the color of their eyes, Pink being rather large for her kind. “The battle is starting” Pink says in a monotone, Yellow bouncing on her feet and wagging her tail a bit in excitement. “It's none of our business. We are on bandit duty today." Pink says with a hint of disappointment. “Aw” Yellow sighs, stopping bouncing and tailwagging, looking down at her feet. She perks up again, “still, bandits are fun right?” “Yeah, I suppose, besides it's a job that has to be done, no use complaining about it. Best to try and see the good in it.” Pink replies, cheering up a bit. “Yay!!” Yellow giggles and does a little twirl “i'll go get the others, gonna try and make commander proud today” she runs off to find the rest of her and Pinks squad as Pink lifts her mask over her helmet and takes a drink from her canteen, stoic face cracking a small smile as she thinks about her friends antics Chapter 4 In a section of town made up of replicas of what the sandstone ruins may have look liked when they were whole, a red eyed soldier exchanges fire with a blue eyed soldier, training. A chunk is torn out of building by an explosion, causing the blue eyed sniper to dodge out of the way of the window he was peeking from, the red eyed soldier on the ground in front of another building, partially obscured from above by a cloth awning, holding a smoking rocket launcher. “Heyyyy guys!” Yellow yells out, running in from the side of the building Red is near, he lowers his rocket launcher and looks in her direction “hey Yellow” he says, happy to see her. “Ready to go hunt some b-HNK!” she gasp squeaks as a shot pokes a clean hole in the front of her helmet, back of her helmet bulging out as it catches the remains of the bullet, she folds forward, tail sticking up and puffing out, dead on her feet, rear falling backward, legs straight as her top half flops forward, arms swinging like a couple of noodles as her body crumples back then spreads out in the sand, a soft sigh coming through her mask as she pees herself Red doesn't really have much time to think as he takes a shot to the side of his head and his legs just turn to jelly under him and he drops straight down like his strings were cut, settling curled up into a little ball on his side, one leg kicking and tail flicking. Blue takes his time to reload as he looks down dispassionately on his dead friends bodies, wondering to himself about what yellow was yelling about Yellow leaps out of bed, naked as can be thin yellow body being almost entirely muscle under her inch thick layer of fluffy fur, small breasts jiggling a bit as she runs, not bothering to get on any clothes as she runs out the door because she just needs to deliver a message and clothes can wait. She's stopped by Red calling out to her, him sitting up on his bed, just as nude as her, his body almost as lithe as hers but built in a more rounded way, hers clearly built for speed, his hair is shorter so a bit of muscle definition can be seen. He asks her what she wanted to say and she explains how she was coming to tell them that she and Pink were ready for bandit duty. Red nods and suggests it might be better to call Blue so they don't just get shot again and gets out his phone. As they are getting finished putting on a new set of armor (someone is gonna have to get the blood and pee out of their old ones and patch up the holes in their helmets) Blue comes in the tent house and says he's ready, apologizing to Yellow in the same professional tone he always uses, her laughing a bit and saying its ok, and that its good to know his reactions are as sharp as ever The 3 of them meet up with Pink by the gate and head out of the village to go fight the bandits to the west. Chapter 5 Princessmn steps through the tall thin doorway of an even taller dining room, passing a pair of guards that stand immobile wearing posh white uniforms with tall gold trimmed hats. They hold spears twice the length of their 10 ft tall, stick figure thin forms made of the same golden plastic material princessmns greatwand is made of. She sits down at one end of a very long table, to her right sits her brother, with his feet up on the table, legs crossed, leaning back in his chair, hands behind his head. He has no hair and wears a black long sleeve shirt and black sweatpants, he has a cape on with a ring of white fur around his neck. On the far side of the table Kingmn sits, bent forward over the table in his massive armor suit. At his side his wife sits, an even taller, even thinner woman than princessmn, half of her blue hair is up in a long bun, wrapped in strips of gold, the rest of her hair hangs down long behind her, fanning out wide. She wears a steel mask with only a line of holes running along the bottom to see out of, the only part of her face visible is her mouth in a permanent frown. She wears a long blue dress with golden braces and white fabric flowers. She thumps the bottom of her long blue crystal greatwand against the floor, sound echoing through the room, making the guards flinch, Princemn immediately putting his feet on the floor and sitting up properly in his chair without a word. Princessmn pokes disinterestedly at her food with her golden fork as Kingmn stares at her from under his crown as he eats slowly. No one talks Chapter 6 A little white furred bunny bandit peeks over some sandstone brick cover and immediately drops his head back down, an orange fox bandit sits behind the same cover watching as his friend kicks one of his legs randomly, curled up into a ball, arms around his head, eyes wide open, staring ahead blankly as blood runs down his face and pools in the sand under his head, fox unable to help himself from getting a boner as he sees that perky little ass squirm around in those tight fitting tan pants of his. As hes thinking about what he wants to do he hears a muffled high pitched girly “hey!” come through the mask of a greywolf soldier who stands beside his friend, having gone around the bit of cover they were hiding behind, he only has time to look up, gasp and tighten his grip on his rifle before Yellow blows the top half of his face off with her shotgun. His mouth opens in dumb surprise as he creams his pants in deathgasm and ragdolls back, his legs crossed, knees spread, giving the girl who killed him a great view, she smiles at them, though her mask hides her reaction before moving on and leaving him to flood his pants with pee as his penis starts to lower Red compliments Blue on his shot and Blue says thanks, the two of them behind similar cover to the 2 bandits. Red fires his rocket launcher at an orange fox sniper girl up on a taller bit of ruins, it hits rock next to her, shrapnel and shockwave causing her to simply slump to the side, very dead and start twitching for a little while, saving Pink from an embarrassing death as she stands in half cover next to another building, firing her lmg against a micromech, the vaguely anthropoid machine housing a crew of half a dozen small feral bandits. Her bullets punch through it creating showers of sparks but don't hit any vitals, they manage to hit a mouse girl and take off her head so there is a puff of blood mixed with the sparks that Pink doesn’t notice, the headless body of the mouse who had been frantically trying to repair the damage done now frantically flails about in the bowels of the machine, tiny pussy squirting in a tiny little deathgasm. One of the machine's arms levels a miniaturized tank cannon at her and fires. It may be miniature but it's still a high caliber rifle and it tears a chunk out of her belly, making her scream and drop to her knees, holding herself with one arm as the other uselessly tries to hold in the blood that is pouring out of her, she stays up just long enough to see a rocket direct hit the center of the micromech and tear it to shreds, her face falling forward into the sand before her raised ass sways then falls to the side so she lands in a curled up heap, snoring out a last breath and… Bits of scrap shower from the fireball of the destroyed mech, only intact body being a male squirrel, a bit crispy who rolls a few feet after being launched 12 ft to the side of the craft, only twitching a few times before going still. “Take that you bastard!” Red yells before ducking back into cover as a burst of bullets hit the bricks in front of him Yellow ducks into a ruin beside the large white bunny woman who had been firing a rifle at Red, she wears an improvised exosuit made of scrap that doesnt cover any of her bits, but helps her hold heavier weapons. A black squirrel rides in a minature turret on her shoulder that swivels to meet Yellow but before he can fire Yellow blasts him with her shotgun, clipping the big rabbits face with 4 pellets causing her legs to collapse out from under her, dropping her gun and draping her arms and head over the window she was firing out of as her legs spread out behind her, butt presented nicely, the little squirrel, or more accurately the scraps left of him tumble through the air and splat down in a little stain of meat, blood and bones on the sandstone floor. Yellow peeks out from behind the dead bunny and waves at her friends, the coast clear for now. Chapter 7 Vixi sneaks into a ruin where she sees a greywolf soldier standing behind the slack body of one of her bandit friends. The poor thing is too busy waving to someone to react as Vixi tackles her from the side and pulls her to the ground, immediately Vixi rips the mask off of Yellows face so she can see her terrified expression, a bit surprised to see an excitement that nearly matches her own, Yellow tries to move the barrel of her shotgun in under Vixis belly but the pink fox leans back and quickly places her hand over the barrel of the gun, her fingers flash with orange flame and fire rushes from the openings in the body of the gun before it explodes, shattering in a ring away from Vixi but taking off Yellows hand, Yellow appears just a bit surprised for a second before screaming in pain and grabbing at her bleeding stump with her other hand, Vixi laughs as she draws a curved golden dagger from her inventory, rears back, blade becoming cloaked in the flame of her magic then she swings it down, swiping the air in front of Yellow, without having to connect a burning slash crosses diagonally over her chest as well as the wrist of the hand she has in front of her Yellow gasps loudly then sighs as she immediately dies, eyes wide and contracted in fear, slowly dilating as every muscle in her body relaxes one at a time. Vixi enjoys the feeling of Yellow’s spasming body bucking under her for a bit before standing up, being careful to stay out of view of the window “Hey” Vixi calls to the shotgun wielding cat who has come in behind her “make a distraction play” “Yes captain” the bandit cat replies, running out the door, not knowing where the enemy is and almost immediately taking a shot to the skull from Blue’s rifle. she drops like a sack of potatoes sideways in a fluid motion into the sand, rolling onto her belly and lying very still except for the occasional kick and twitch as she floods her pants with pee Vixi assesses the direction of the shot, both with her hearing and the direction her friends brains burst out of their head and leaps out through the same door, strafing far into the open with that leap, Red able to fire a rocket at her but it's too late. Vixi pushes one arm out in front of her and a large cross of red light forms, centered on her hand as a 6 inch thick beam of flame shoots from her hand and hits the bit of cover Red and Blue are behind while the rocket has only made its way half of the way to her The sandstone bricks scatter as a sphere of fire large enough to swallow a car grows from the point of impact, bursting into a towering orange fireball, unfortunately, Red and Blues bodies are burned down to the bone as they are scattered into the sand behind them The rocket misses Vixi, but she isn't safe. It hits 10ft behind her and shrapnel assaults her body. She lets out a squeaky little gasp as she ragdolls down onto her face in the sand next to the body of her loyal buddy. She pants for breath but her lungs are busted. She thinks “awesome~” as she rolls her eyes back in her skull, sets her head down and dies Chapter 8 A brown otter sits at a chair in a dark room, a claustrophobic mess of technology and scientific equipment surrounds her on all sides, neatly organized in a way only she can understand. She watches a screen in front of her, tapping buttons on her desk to rewind and replay the recording, with her other hand she writes down calculations in a journal. On the screen is a view of the moon, a flash on the top left side and then an arc of solar plasma. Her eyes analyze every pixel, somehow she is able to turn what she sees into calculations of force on the page, tensile strength, acceleration, megaton force. Orion will have that wand. Chapter 9 Pink and her squad are heading back out of town to try again when Commander Greywolf calls out “heyyy! how you doin?” to them. Pink sighs “not great to be honest. Took one in the belly before I could get anyone” Yellow chimes in “I did great! I killed a really cute boy and this big girl and her squirrel and I almost got Vixi! I almost got her this time I swear!” Greywolf giggles “that's pretty good” Yellow really happy about getting a compliment from her commander. Red, somewhat disappointedly says, “yeah, Vixi fried us. May have got her with my rocket but I kinda doubt it” Blue stays quiet. “Hey don't worry about it. I'm sure you’ll get her next time. You are good soldiers, and getting better every day” Greywolf pats Pink's shoulder, the large yellow fox standing a head taller than the lightweight grey wolf. “Anyway I gotta get back to the front. See ya!” Greywolf says before running off Chapter 10 “Of course I will train you” Deer Reaper looks down from his full standing 12ft height on the tiny training bun below him, the two of them standing in a forest clearing with grass beneath their bare feet “What? Really?” the surprised little thing at his feet squeaks “Yes.” “B-but what if im never strong enough? I can barely throw a punch” “But you can throw a punch” “...” “Show me” The training bun swings at his shin as hard as she can. There is no reaction except for the parting of the 3 inch long coarse hair before it falls back into place “See? Nothing…” she says, defeated “And yet I perceived it. So with time, it is possible” “How do you know?” “You’re the one who asked me to train you.” Training bun looks confused “So you must trust that i know.” Training bun thinks for a second then nods like she understands “Ok then… let's fight.”
