Lying on top of the camouflaged life pod, Devi looked up into the night sky. The gentle moonlight illuminated her pale naked body and reflected off of her bracelet, while the gentle nighttime breeze teased her blonde hair, soft skin, hard pale pink nipples and puffy mound. As she took in the stunning natural beauty that filled her hazel eyes, her mind was filled with thoughts on her past, her present and her very uncertain future.
For most of her life, Devi had lived on the space stations that had orbited Valar. Her mother was one of Valar’s top scientists and due to this the family had to regularly move from one laboratory to another. Devi hadn’t minded much, as she could spend hours watching the stars through the stations’ viewing ports. Like millennia of humans before her, she was entranced by the beauty of space and the countless mysteries that it seemed to contain.
Valar itself had lost much of its natural beauty and Devi hadn’t liked being on the planet the few times that she had found herself there. As far as the eye could see factories had been busy producing tools of war. The sky had been filled with orbital platforms and aircraft, which had blocked out the stars. Even the attempts at beautification, in the form of gardens and parks, were so out of place that they had looked even more artificial than the surrounding industrial complexes.
Even though Devi was now trapped on this strange planet, so far she was enjoying the adventure. Never before had she been able to run naked through a forest or to bathe in a natural river, free from the hazards of industrial pollution. She couldn’t wait for her sister and mother to finish recovering so that she could share this beautiful world with them.
Devi’s current situation was complicated by a wide range of mysteries, the most pressing of which was the location of the planet which she and her family were now stranded on. The life pod’s computer had tried to match the planet’s skymap with any skymap in the Stellar Alliance database. It had found no matches, which meant that this planet was most likely not found in the 3 quadrants of the galaxy that constituted colonized space.
This was a good thing in the sense that if the Alliance didn’t know about the planet, they probably weren’t mere minutes away from swooping in and finishing their mission. As the Valarn had fled towards the last unsettled quadrant of the galaxy, blindly jumping into hyperspace, it was entirely possible that this planet was so far from Alliance space that it would take them at least decades to find it.
On the other hand, the presence of other humans on the planet meant that the planet must have been colonised sometime in the past. Devi knew from historical records that the Second Empire of Humanity had started colonising the unsettled quadrant of the galaxy shortly before the Empire had collapsed. She also knew that said collapse had resulted in the loss of significant data about those colonisation efforts, which meant that it was possible that this was one of those lost colonies.
Devi had decided to take genetic samples from the boys to confirm this before she had transported them to the banks of a nearby river. In their memories she had found a near-drowning experience, so she had used her nanites inside of them to create a similar memory, which she used to overwrite any memory of her and her actions. Devi had reasoned that it should be enough to give some justification for the lost hours as well as the loss of their clothes. In retrospect it probably hadn’t been that smart of an idea to dissolve their clothes, but she had been acting on instinct.
Analysis of the samples had taken the rest of the day, during which Devi had explored a part of the forest. Just a few minutes ago the life pod’s computer had informed her that it had detected an anomaly. The boys were a 100% genetic match for baseline humans, completely lacking any enhancements or the Gaia Adaptation Gene, the whole cornerstone of the Great Age of Expansion.
As far as Devi knew, this was supposed to be impossible. Even during the days of the First Empire of Humanity, humans had started using extensive genetic modification to increase their adaptability to new colonies. The universal adoption of the GAG during the founding days of the Second Empire had allowed colonisation to flourish during the Great Age of Expansion as the population had been able to rapidly adapt to their new environments. For the humans on this planet to be baseline humans would mean that they had to have come from what had been United Earth in the years before 2245 AD, a date that was almost 3000 years in the past.
Analysis of the boys’ memories had not provided any additional clues. Devi couldn’t find any legends or myths that matched a tale of colonization or transport from another world. Their memories were also quite lacking in details about their world, due to the relative isolation of the village.
What Devi did learn was that the village was called Royas, in the county of Telanar, which was part of the Kingdom of Telgravir. Their culture, religion and language had similarities to what had been prevalent in ‘Middle Ages’ Europe back on First Earth.
This created another mystery on its own. It was not unheard of for some humans to start a colony by adopting a previous technologically inferior culture, for whatever reasons. But in order to sustain the terraforming process, advanced technology was needed. None of the life pod’s sensors had picked up any sign of such technology as it had entered the atmosphere.
The Second Empire, which had colonised most of the galaxy, had been rather hit and miss with terraforming, hence the need for the GAG. So if this planet was one of the rare ‘natural gemstones,’ completely suitable to humanity from the start, they wouldn’t have ‘wasted’ it on colonists with such strange behaviour. If anything, they would have turned it into an Imperial Seat, home to the most advanced society possible.
If this had been an advanced society at one time, which had collapsed along with the Second Empire, the life pod wasn’t able to detect any traces of it. Impossible as it was, the most likely scenario seemed to be that humans had been transported here millennia ago across the entire expanse of unsettled space.
Devi was roused from her thoughts by multiple alarms from her neural chip. A distance away, in the opposite direction from the village, the life pod had picked up multiple groups of people racing through the forest, heading away from a series of cliffs south of the crash site.
The disturbance was far away enough that the crash site was in no immediate danger. But with so many things in her world currently unclear, Devi decided that it would be best to investigate. Standing up, she activated her spacesuit with a thought. Instantly the nanomachines spread out of her bracelet, covering her entire body in a matter of seconds. With another thought, her suit’s own projection camouflage was activated. A final thought had the nanomachines form a pair of wings on the suit’s back. Activating its thrusters, she was soon airborne.
As Devi raced towards the disturbance through the air, her neural chip tried to make sense of what the suit’s own sensors were picking up. Small groups of children were running through the forest, guided by the light of wooden torches. Older children were desperately tugging younger ones along by the arm. Behind them came men wearing armour on their chests and armed with bladed weapons. They seemed to be hunting the children, at enough ease in the moonlit forest that they didn’t need torches.
Not many words were spoken, but those that were indicated great distress amongst the children. While Devi didn’t understand the context of what was happening, the implications were clear enough. Slowing down until she was hovering above the tree tops, she hesitated. She wanted to stop the men, but she had no desire to kill them.
Her hesitation evaporated as she saw one of the men reach a cowering child and raise his blade. Aiming her bracelet, Devi knocked the man unconscious with a blast of electricity to his unprotected legs. Unfortunately the dense trees made it very difficult for her to hit anyone else, so she decided to land and continue her attack on foot.
Having landed and absorbed the wings back into her suit, Devi raced through the forest, her suit’s power giving her a boost in speed. She was able to stun two men by hitting them in their legs with electricity. Another two men saw their comrades fall and resorted to slashing the air wildly in an attempt to attack what they couldn’t see. Jumping onto a branch above her and then jumping from tree to tree, Devi was able get behind them and soon they suffered the same fate as their comrades.
Unfortunately, the projection camouflage used incredible amounts of energy when having to compensate for rapid movement. With her own stores of energy depleted from powering her family’s life support units, Devi was in danger of running out of energy.
Cancelling the camouflage, she continued her attack. Now able to spot her, one of the men charged towards her with his blade raised. As he swung the weapon down towards Devi’s neck, the nanomachines in her bracelet created a brilliant orange energy blade energy blade, which she used to cut his weapon in half. The man was so surprised that he didn’t defend himself from her blast of electricity.
Another man spotted her and started slashing at her with his blade, but she nimbly danced out of the way. He was joined by a comrade and both of them started attacking Devi with a series of slashes and thrusts. The agility that the suit’s nanomachines gave her meant that she was able to dodge each attack until she had lured them close enough to each other that she could destroy their weapons with one slash of her energy blade. To their credit, they decided to flee, but two blasts of electricity took care of them.
Unfortunately, the remaining men had managed to close in on the children and were too far away for Devi to reach in time. Desperately, she used most of the energy that she had left to fire red laser bolts, setting some of the trees alight to create a barrier of fire between the men and the children. It seemed to work, for her sensors detected that the men were now racing towards her.
Devi decided that she had enough time to generate additional energy. Turning towards one of the unconscious men, a redhead with a full beard, she laid down on top of his unconscious body and had her helmet’s nanomachines flow back into her bracelet. Pooling nanites into her saliva, Devi used a brief application of her energy blade to puncture her victim’s carotid artery. Licking the wound, she simultaneously had her nanites enter his blood and heal the wound.
Giving a few mental instructions to her nanomachines, Devi had her suit modified to allow access to her groin, chest and abdomen, leaving only her limbs still covered. Acting upon something that she had glimpsed in the boys’ memories, she modified the suit further, creating 8 pairs of metallic wings and a crown for her head.
Using the nanites that had reached her attacker’s brain, Devi woke him up and took control over his body. Without standing up, he removed his trousers, allowing her access to his flaccid cock. But she needed it in a different state, so she caused a flood of arousal in his mind and in her own with her nanites. Soon the man’s cock was fully aroused and she could feel her fluids dripping onto her thighs. Unceremoniously, she impaled herself on his penis, groaning as the organ forced her wet warm walls apart.
While it hadn’t happened often, necessity had sometimes forced Valarn soldiers to start fucking someone in battle, to generate energy for combat. It was very dangerous, especially due to the effect that it had on the mind. Devi now understood this, as the adrenaline racing through her blood and the pleasure from her stuffed cunt made a potent cocktail. This was why some of the Valarn had lost themselves in battle, driven mad with pleasure.
Mindful of her current situation, Devi mentally commanded her puppet to tightly grip her boyish hips and continue impaling her on his invading cock. Her own hands set to work on her diamond hard nipples and her throbbing clit. She was building up to an orgasm when she saw that two of the men had finally reached her. As she had suspected, having not seen who had attacked them, they were so bewildered by what looked like an angel fucking their comrade that they didn’t attack her. This gave her the necessary opportunity to tip herself over into orgasm with an extremely loud moan of sheer wanton pleasure.
The men watched, entranced, as Devi went rigid as the orgasm burned through her nerves, their own lust growing at the sight of their comrade’s cock forcing her wet petals apart and her own fingers dancing across her clit and tweaking her nipples. As the pleasure of the orgasm burned through her, her nanites amplified the bio-electricity that her sensitive nervous system produced and transferred it to her nanomachines. Still lost in lust, the men couldn’t defend themselves when electricity leapt from her wings and hit them square in their chests and sent them spiralling into unconsciousness.
Devi continued to ride her puppet’s cock, another orgasm building up inside of her as her cervix was battered and her own fingers continued stimulating herself. The last man was sneaking up behind her, cautious but apparently unaware of his comrades’ fates. This was the only way she could explain him still wanting to attack her despite her apparent supernatural powers.
Devi was so pleased that her trap was working so well that her neural chip was having trouble trying to regulate her brain chemistry. The feeling of power was intoxicating. A fine sheen of sweat covered her as she continued to bounce up and down on the hard cock. From her victim’s gasps, she knew that he was close to his own orgasm. Moaning ever louder as her pleasure grew, she lured the man ever closer.
The last attacker had seemingly judged that Devi was open to attack, for he suddenly rushed towards her with his blade raised. Excitement overloaded her, making her nerves come alight as the orgasm spread through her body and a wordless cry was ripped from her throat. She was joined by her victim, whose cock jerked insight of her tightly clenching cunt and flooded her womb with seed. Her mind was swamped in the ecstasy of a massive orgasm, so she had to rely on her neural chip to defend her.
The attacker’s blade sliced through the air, aiming for Devi’s neck, but it broke into pieces as it slammed into her wings, which had suddenly moved and protected her neck. With the power of her orgasm amplified by her nanites and transmitted into her nanomachines, the wings generated a blast of wind that sent the attacker sailing through the air until he slammed into a tree, rendered unconscious.
Dismounting from her puppet and his now flaccid cock, Devi surveyed her handiwork. She decided that it would be best to find out from the children what was happening. The men would be unconscious for a while still.
With that decided, she set off in the direction that the children had been fleeing in...
