Chapter 110: A Long Time Before Normal Becomes Normal (Revival Part One)
Day 929 (Night)
"I had been thinking about those two." Lady Ursa said as we made our way through the numerous messages professor Stern and Corbin had left.
We then decided to contact the two.
An image of an energetic mongoose soon appeared on the viewscreen. "Big brother, momma bear! Where have you been?!"
"Oblivion." I responded to my little brother.
"Madam knight, Alex. You two look like you have just emerged from the business end of a grinder." My sister's doppelgänger said.
"We have." My she beast said to her secret operative.
The human female and the little mongoose boy just stared.
"It is a long, long story." Lady Ursa said. "I am exhausted telling it."
"You know that vacation we took in December of 031 YOE?" I said.
"Yes?" Corbin nodded.
"We just came back from it." I admitted.
"That must have been some vacation." The blond haired female said.
"It altered our lives." I said almost too candidly.
"Enough pet. Do you have any news for me professor?" My warrior bear said redirecting the conversation and where are you?"
"Much has changed since you were gone. My permissions to the site have been revoked."
"The curfew?" I asked the two.
Corbin nodded.
"However, I have learned somethings, madam knight. But I don't want to talk about it here. I would prefer that you and Alex come visit. We have much to discuss." The professor said.
I looked at my bear.
"With the curfew in place across the five cities, no one is allowed out at night. Alex and I have an appointment in the morning. So let's meet in afternoon." Lady Ursa said.
"That will be great!" Corbin said. "I can't wait to see you!"
"Same." I said.
My mistress and I spent the rest of the evening cleaning up the lair. With what we learned in the Maximum it didn't take as long as I thought it would have. We also took frequent breaks to review video messages we had received. There were many from the Consortium, The trio, professor Love as well.
"It is going to take some time to go through all of these." My warrior bear said.
"Are you saying we should call it a night?"
"I am. We should bathe."
I followed my she beast to the shower.
"You first Alex." She said as she had me spread my legs and place my arms against the shower wall, like I was being frisked.
From there she started lathering my body starting at my neck, then shoulders, arms, back, torso, waist, groin, rump, legs and then feet.
*OAH*
"That feels wonderful, magical!" I moaned. "It has been too long!"
"I take it my doppelgänger was not a suitable replacement?"
"No." I said. There was an awkward pause. "We should switch."
My fierce ursine warrior took my place on the shower wall as I started lathering her beautiful form. I started at her neck, then moved on to her shoulders, arms, back, torso, waist, legs saving her bosom, rump and groin for last.
"Alex?"
"It has been too long since I have touched these." I murred.
"Pet?" My fierce ursine warrior said.
"I have to make sure that these are very clean." I said oogling her magnificent rack. "Weird, they weren't that dirty."
"Boris made sure to keep his pretty lady bear clean." My she beast said imitating her cell mate and assigned breeding partner.
And again there was that awkward pause between the two of us. It continued as we dried off and then went to my she beast's chambers.
"I know you have been looking forward to this for a long, long time." I said as my warrior bear climbed into her bed.
"If that means being in my chambers and not having to share my bed with anyone else other then my pet. You are right." She said motioning me to join her.
We laid on our sides facing each other as I moved in to rest my head on my soft pillows at last. She ran her paws to grope my bottom.
"How I missed these so, so, so much." I moaned. "So have you thought about what you are going to do with your time off mistress?"
"Try to persuade the commander to return me to service sooner." My she bear moaned.
"I don't think that is going to happen as quick as you like." I said nuzzling her.
"Yes, pet I know."
"We have both been through something quite profound, it challenged, tested and brought us to our breaking points. I would say it even broke us." I said to my bear knight.
"I understand what you are saying pet, but I would rather be working."
"Not while we are still messed up, that is why we have been ordered to see Lea for counseling; it is going to be some time before we are whole again. If ever."
"Who is to say that I am not now?" Lady Ursa asked me.
"Are you telling me that you can bottle up everything that we have just went through and lock it in a closet somewhere?"
There was that silence again from her.
"You maybe, but I can't. In a very strange way, I miss Bertha and Spirit." I readily admitted.
"Oh?" She asked me. "I thought you said she wasn't a suitable replacement for me?"
"As bizarre as this is, both of them are on my mind."
"Why is that pet?"
"Despite the fact that I was intimate with the both of them- repeatedly. I considered them friends you know? They were very kind and looked out for me during a very difficult time. Now we are back where we belong and they are still stuck at the Maximum."
"Are you sure pet? You were forced into breeding with Bertha daily and then she used you to help the patient she was treating. What did Sprit call you- his comfort animal?"
"Yeah he did. In a strange way, both of those two made a horrible situation less horrible."
"You were developing feelings for them?"
"You know towards the end, I think I was- I guess the sex was part of that, maybe Bertha's anatomy very similar to yours, sans the fur, claws, snout and tail was another. If I looked past that, I could imagine that she was you. And Spirit, he had that cute face, the brown eyes, the white streak down his nose, the orange colored cheeks, his brown fur, the orange colored groin and the brown colored penis with the orange colored tip that I liked to watch emerge from its sheath."
"You mean the same one he used to sex you with- repeatedly?"
"I didn't really like that, but I did like feeling his flanks, his bottom, nuzzling his nose and the way he licked me on my neck after sex. Wow! I guess I was developing feelings for him towards the end."
"With all that you had been through, it isn't surprising." My lady bear said non-judgmentally.
"I just hope that the two of them are ok and that the wrath of the warden didn't rain down on them after we left."
Lady Ursa looked at me.
"I mean given Bertha's, Kathryn and Nikki's crimes- I know why they are there. But Spirit doesn't belong there. I mean how is that going to help treat his condition?"
"You are suggesting that he needs to be elsewhere Alex?"
"Some where, where his issues can be treated so that he can function in society and not take out his frustrations on others if he is in another failed relationship. He is a nice guy once you get past the lewd sex, the multiple positions and all the hugging and groping."
"I am still thinking about Boris." My she beast readily admitted.
"You are are you?" I said to my bear knight.
"Among other things."
"Really?"
"I wouldn't admit it to him, pet- but it was really nice having another of my kind to talk to. Even if he was a criminal."
"Do you miss him?"
"Alex!"
"He told me once that you only tolerated him in order to obey the warden."
"I did. Unlike you, I did have a bunk bed to myself as did he."
"So when it was time to comply with the warden's orders whose bed did you do it in?"
There was that awkward pause again. But it was good that we were talking about this. We needed to talk about this and not keep it bottled up.
"Mistress?"
"He would come to mine pet. I would be sleeping and he would sneak in behind me. Then I would receive gentle kisses to my neck, then he would massage my neck, shoulders, back, legs, rump and tail."
"That sounds quite nice."
"At some point the foreplay would end and he would whisper that it was time." My bear knight reluctantly admitted.
"So what happened next?"
"He would reach around and play with my chest and then wedge his penis between my legs to touch my lips."
"Lips?"
"Not the lips you are thinking of."
She meant the lips at her cave of wonder.
"And that is when you would mate."
My she beast nodded. "He would lie on me, kissing me on the head and neck encouraging me to wrap my arms and legs around him. I would tease him for having a small butt and he would say that was the way he was built- but he would compensate for his deficiencies."
"Which would lead to a lot of *UNF*, *UNF*, *UNF*." I said giggling.
"And the inevitable Boris is going to cum pretty lady bear or Boris can't take any more here come cubs!" Lady Ursa said imitating him again.
"And then he would vocally express his extreme joy of ejaculating inside his pretty lady bear."
"Precisely pet, at first I was revulsed. But as we acclimated to our routine I eventually accepted it. Some times he was on top, some times I was on top."
"Did it feel good?"
"The after sex was tolerable. Toward the end I did like being embraced by him and we started copulating in positions you and I couldn't." My mistress readily admitted.
"For instance?" I asked her.
"Doggie style."
"I guess you are right." I said.
I could only play with her rump and lower back because of her height while Boris could reach her neck and breasts while in the same position.
"Do you miss him?"
There was that awkward silence again.
"I do pet. But remember he is a criminal and cunning thief who chose not to obey the master's rules."
"Do you think he could be reformed?"
"If he chooses to." My warrior bear said rolling on her back and pulling me on top of her. "It is time for rest Alex."
"Yes it is and mistress?"
"What is that pet?"
"Welcome home." I said laying me head down on my soft pillows.
We slept comfortably for most of the night despite some lingering after effects from our experiences.
*POOF*
"It is almost dawn my little comfort animal." The Tian mountain dog said as he nuzzled me.
"Spirit let me sleep." I whined from within Bertha's embrace.
The spotted dog had stretched out laying on me so that our bellies were touching as he looked me squarely in the face. "So does that mean you are planning to give our ex-wrestler your ALL this morning?"
"Uh, no." I said groggily.
"Then we should get started."
"Um how are we going to do that?" I asked as he got up and turned around.
"Just watch."
The crazy canine kneeled straddling my legs and started swinging his thin rump side to side like he was giving me some type of nudie show.
(Yuck)
Spirit's ass dance went on for a minute or so before he turned around to check on me.
"Not exciting you huh?" He asked me.
"Nope." I whispered trying not to wake Bertha.
"Hmm..." He then straddled my legs again kneeling just below my groin. "How about this?" He said grasping my penis and bringing it to touch his sheath.
"Eh." I said very candidly.
"So what does excite you?" The spotted dog asked me slightly annoyed.
I turned red when he asked me.
"Well if you must know, rubbing your flanks when you are sitting on my lap. Squeezing that narrow rump of yours during foreplay and watching your penis emerge from its sheath at the end of foreplay."
(Did I just say that?)
"Here." He said moving my hand to touch his scrotal sack.
I just loved his coloring down there.
Gently I stroked and massaged his testicles until his penis finally made an appearance.
"So the secret is finally out." He said kissing me on my forehead.
"I guess so." I said.
"My turn." He said sliding down my body. He moved his snout from my forehead to my penis and started licking it.
*AH* I moaned.
In by inch he eroded my flaccidity.
"There we are butt buddy, nice and ready." Spirit said climbing just above my waist so that he could lower himself onto his target. Your silent defiance of warden 'grey skin' begins today."
I grunted in response.
"Now when you jizz, I want everything inside these." He said grabbing my scrotum. "Don't leave her anything."
With those orders the Tian mountain dog started raising and lowering himself up and down my shaft. I just leaned my head back on Bertha's chest and moaned enjoying the pleasurable sensations, up and down down and up until....
**OOOOOOHH!!!**
I came hard inside the spotted dog.
"Oh that was so, so nice." He said kissing me on my head again.
"That is the other thing I like." I moaned.
"What is that sweetie?"
"Your after sex kisses."
"So glad you like them." He grinned. "He is all yours."
"It is about time." The dark skinned woman said as Spirit backed off of my groin.
"How long have you be up?" I asked my breeding partner.
"I think since *AH* *AH* *AHHHHHH- AH*" She answered. "So this is your new plan to delay the inevitable?"
I nodded.
"It is a smart one." She said turning me over.
I aligned myself to her entrance and slid in. I gently started rocking back and forth inside her trying to bring myself to a second orgasm that morning. After a little nuzzling, a little fondling and some groping I finally did ejaculate inside the dark skinned female. The amount was very very very small."
(Screw you warden!)
Bertha moved both her hands from my lower back to my rump spreading it wide preparing me for the third act.
"EYAHH!!! Spirit! What the hell?!"
"We have to keep up appearances." The crazy canine said. "Besides I want sloppy thirds!"
*POOF*
(It was a dream, a passionate dream about the days after the warden's assembly and before our rescue.)
I wasn't the only one dreaming. Beneath me my warrior bear was tossing and turning.
(Perhaps dreaming about her he bear?)
I licked two of my fingers and gently slid them in and out of her cub tunnel. To my surprise she settled down. Right, we were still deeply affected by our experiences at the Maximum.
Day 930
It was around 6 AM when my mistress' communicator went of off. She reached over toward her night stand careful not to disturb her favorite pet that who was still sleeping on her. She answered it. There was the usual un-huhs before she returned it to the stand and started grumbling.
"Something wrong mistress?" I asked looking up from my pillows.
"Yes, I am still relieved from duty until further notice." She grumbled. "You and I are to have our first counseling session with Lea this morning and every morning until she says otherwise."
"That is understandable." I said as my she beast growled.
It was then she received my finger tip to her mouth.
"I know you hate being idle mistress. So let's use this time to reconnect with our friends and see what has happened during our absence." I said kissing her.
"Very well." She grumbled.
"And quit being a sour puss. We are free from that damn prison, away from that Dowd and most importantly our bodies belong to us again." I said hugging her.
And so we got up and started our morning routine. After nineteen months it was hard to get into the groove again. We exercised, showered and ate breakfast. During that time we went through the video messages on view screen.
"Well we responded to professor Stern and Corbin." My she beast said looking at the monitor. "Who is next?"
"The consortium." I said. "They left about 32 messages."
So we went through them one by one. They were from Dongo, Bess and Tess wondering where I had disappeared to and if I was ok. After seeing their level of concern, I decided to contact Dongo at work. A picture of a hyena in a technician's uniform appeared on the screen.
"Hub service site four Dongo Dingo speaking."
"Hey." I said to the hyena.
"Alex! Where have you been? Bess and Tess heard the knights reported you missing!"
"Greetings Dongo." My warrior bear said to the hyena.
"Madam knight." The hub technician said greeting my mistress. "It is great to see the both of you again but where have you been?!"
"Oblivion." I said to the leader of the consortium. "Dongo it is a long story. The short version is that we went on vacation and just got back yesterday."
"What vacation lasts that long?"
"One like you have never experienced." My she beast said. "We are still acclimating to what has happened while we were away."
"Yes the empire is in disarray and the economy in recession. The consortium is having a meeting tonight about that." The hyena said blushing.
"Great where?!" I asked.
"It will be via the hub." He said to me.
"That is right the curfew." I said smacking myself on my forehead.
"That has limited everyone's ability to go out and have a good time."
"What time is the meeting?" Lady Ursa asked.
"8 PM sharp and hour past curfew."
"Ok I will see you then. You and the others can fill me in on the last year and a half." I said to the hyena in the tech uniform.
"More importantly the group wants to hear where you have been." Dongo shot back.
"Fair enough." I said. "See you then."
"It is nearly 8 AM pet, we should be going." My she beast said as she prepared to put on her uniform.
"Remember mistress, you are not on duty."
My warrior bear grumbled as she put on her something less official and more casual.
From there I started heading toward Lea's lab.
"No Alex, she wanted us to meet on the roof." My she beast said.
"Ok the roof then."
Lady Ursa and I met Sir Ram's sexy lab assistant on the roof of the castle. Which was the perfect meeting place on this late summer morning.
"Alex, my lady, thank you for coming." The beautiful young lioness said.
"Anything for you gorgeous." I said to her.
(Man, did I miss her!)
"Enough pet, Lea can we just get this over with?" My warrior bear asked our healer.
"It won't be that simple. You two have a seat." She said pointing to two lounge chairs.
"Ok." I said sitting down. Lady Ursa joined me.
"I was thinking about what we should do for your first session." The sexy she beast said.
"And?" My warrior bear said crossing her arms.
"You two both have been traumatized. In order to heal you, we need to identify the trauma before you can come to terms with it."
"So what did you have in mind?" I asked the hot lioness in the white lab coat.
"I am going to put both of you into a trance to help you recall your memories." Lea said.
"I remember everything that happened on the sky ship." I said. "But it would be nice for Lady Ursa to recall what they made her forget."
"Precisely. Dear we are going to reconstruct what they made you forget. Only then can we help you with your trauma."
"Very well." Lady Ursa said. "How do we proceed?"
"Lie back and give me you paws." The young lioness said. "Close your eyes and think back to the that evening- really think. You and Alex were trying to prepare for dinner, you saw the sky ship, Alex signaled it, the alien creatures signaled back before taking you aboard and then...."
"I- I saw the beings all around me poking and prodding. They took some type of crystal device and ran it over the strange markings on my foot paws and armpits." My lady bear said trying to remember.
"What happened next?" Lea asked further entrancing my she beast.
"I noticed there were other beastials in the room. They were being experimented on as well. I screamed. Alex is in the room too, he called out to me before disappearing in a beam of light." Lady Ursa said as she remembered the moment the greys returned me to the planet.
"So they sent Alex back?"
"One of them told me they have no interest in humans. But they were very interested to see me. I was then taken to another room. It had large oval doors."
"What did you see behind those doors?" I asked growing concerned.
"I saw them examining a avian family. They were puffins, a mother and father and their three children. All five of them were plastered to the wall of the room by some green substance. The greys had just stuck two large needles in each of the parent's eyes and and were making their way toward their young next...." My she beast gasped as she woke up from the trance.
"Do you remember anything else?" The lioness asked.
My warrior bear shook her head.
"It is a start. Little by little we will reconstruct your memory until you can remember it all."
Lea focused the rest of the morning on me. I couldn't recall any more details than what I had already said to the knights at the debriefing.
"Good session." The sexy lioness said. "We will continue this tomorrow."
"Thank you gorgeous." I said hugging the sexy she beast.
"Yes thank you." Lady Ursa said trembling. "We better be going pet if we want to have enough time to catch up with professor Stern and Corbin."
"Yeah it is almost noon." I admitted as I started following her to the loading dock.
Since my mistress was on sabbatical we couldn't use the prototype- the knights were using it on missions to maintain order, instead we used her hover bike which had been recovered from just outside the Dark Forest.
Lady Ursa performed some systems checks before boarding it.
"Everything ok?"
"Yes pet. It is in excellent condition."
With that we proceeded to professor Stern's house on the north end of the city very close to the park where that gang of bad beastials were turned into trees.
"Momma bear! Big brother!" A very energetic mongoose boy said pouncing on us. Lady Ursa and I hugged and hugged the little guy.
"You seem to be well." My she beast said to her 'cub'.
"I am. When you two disappeared the professor adopted me!"
"Congratulations Corbin. You have a home and a family now." I said as professor Stern met us at the door.
"How is motherhood treating you?" Lady Ursa said greeting my sister's doppelgänger.
"Good. He is no trouble to look after at all."
"So you have been stuck here?" My she beast observed.
"Come in." The blond female said.
"With everything that is going on her permissions have been revoked. That happened when the master instigated the curfews to clampdown on the unrest." Corbin said.
"So I took as much as I could back to the house and have been continuing my research here." The archeologist said leading us to a sun room off of a nice looking kitchen- her whole house was nice looking.
She had us take seats there offering us lunch.
"But more importantly where have you two been?! I was worried sick!" The little mongoose boy said.
"Have a seat it is going to be a long story." I said to my little brother and his guardian.
Yet another detailed recap later....
"WOW....." The little mongoose boy said removing his shirt and shorts.
"That is completely unbelievable." Professor Stern said.
"All of it is true." Lady Ursa said.
"Are you two undergoing therapy or counseling for what happened?"
Lady Ursa and I both nodded.
"We heard that it is best to talk about what happened all of it." I said. "Uh, Corbin what are you doing?"
We watched as the little mongoose boy searched his body to make sure that he didn't have any strange alien markings- any where.
"There is nothing on my neck or back is there?"
"Um no." Lady Ursa said.
"What about my...."
"Um, little brother I don't think the alien creatures wouldn't mark you there, it would have to be some place easily accessible." I said stopping the little mongoose from searching his unmentionables and showing us his 'little elephant'.
"Like here." Lady Ursa said showing the blond female and her cub the alien markings on her foot paws.
"Remarkable." The professor said. "How long have you had these?"
"Since I became a beastial." My bear knight said.
"What were they like, were they friendly?" Ms. Stern asked.
"Such a flake!" Corbin huffed. "If they were friendly professor they would not take any beast against their will."
"I found them deliberate, cold and calculating- like they had a job to do and we were nothing but research subjects to them. They performed their tests, collected their data and returned us." I said.
"What is to prevent them from returning?" The blond female said.
"Nothing." Lady Ursa said. "They told Alex that they would check on me in a few years. Even if I didn't want them too, there is nothing I can do about it."
"She will be taken restudied and returned when they are finished with her." I said. "Or maybe not- they kept one of the members of the Animalitia after they let us go."
"Do they still have him?" Corbin asked.
"Has there been any news about Triceraton in the last year and a half?" I asked.
"Nope." The professor said.
"Then it could be possible they still have him." I said as my she beast put her paw on my shoulder. "I am sorry mistress. I know this is upsetting."
"Professor what progress have you made?" My she beast asked.
"I finished mapping the lost city. Here, look at this." The professor said producing a halo map of the underground structure.
"It is completely self sufficient; they made it that way." The little mongoose boy said.
"This over here beyond the houses was a storage silo- for food. This structure over here stored drinking water and this over here was for waste extraction." The professor said pointing to each item.
"So the humans lived underground from the for quite some time from the giant cloud, professor- but what can you tell us about it?" My fierce ursine warrior asked.
"Yes the giant cloud or phantom cascade has visited several times before on this world. The event four years ago to start and then about a hundred fifty years ago and seventy five years before that which was around the time the lost city was built."
"So the lost city is about two hundred years old?" My she beast asked the archeologist.
"Approximately. It was inhabited during the time the mural was constructed. But as far as I can tell those were the three times the giant cloud event happened and it was right where the empire now resides."
"The professor believes that the giant cloud has been 'appearing at intervals." Corbin said.
"But I haven't figured out the pattern. I also believe it has visited prior to recorded history on this world. But I can't be sure- there is just no record."
"To what end and for what purpose?" I asked.
"Do we know where it came from?" My lady bear asked.
"Still unknown. For all I know it could be a weapon launched by the alien creatures." The archeologist said.
(Now that was a disturbing thought.)
"What about effects from its visit?" I asked my sister's doppelgänger.
"The books I was able to translate talked about some sickness that caused the remaining populace to flee, but details are vague."
"Do we know if and when it will happen again?" Lady Ursa asked.
"It hit four years ago, are we good for another seventy-five? A hundred?" I asked piling on.
"That is about as much as I have been able to determine." Ms. Stern said.
"It is a start you two, good work." My she beast said complimenting her operatives.
We ended up staying most of the afternoon catching up with Corbin and the professor. It was so good to see them again. It was around six in the evening when my mistress and I departed for home. We didn't want to be caught outside after curfew.
On the way back to the castle we noticed that traffic in World One was lite as the populace also started to return home.
Back in the lair, my fierce ursine warrior pondered what her operative had discovered.
"What she found is quite disturbing pet. But has also lead to more questions. Questions that won't be answered until she is allowed to return to the site."
"It is going to take some tack to get past the curfew to get her back to the lost city."
"Yes pet I know."
We continued to talk until it was time for the consortium's meeting.
"Alex!" Two buffalo calves said greeting me on the view screen.
"Hi you two, how have you been?"
"More importantly where have you been?" Bess and Tess asked in unison.
"It is a very long story guys I will fill you in due time." I said.
"Dongo and Doria World Two signing on."
"Bess, Tess and Alex World One signing on."
"Hey Doria how is it going?" I asked Dongo's main squeeze.
"It is alright Alex, I brought her into the fold." The hyena said blushing.
"Wow." I said.
"With everything that is going on, how could he not?" The brunette said.
"What did you do when you found out?" I asked her.
"I told my hyena I was proud of him. He has come a long way from that reckless bestial that torched my apartment."
"Niko World Five signing on." A cute all white female ermine(?) said joining our call.
"Cinder World Four signing on." A young Aardvark boy said joining the call.
During my absence it looked like Dongo, Tess and Bess had filled the vacancies for World's Four and Five.
(I wonder who the consortium found for the vacancy in World Three?) I thought to myself.
I didn't have long to wait.
"Neil Winter World Three signing on."
*GASP*
"Everyone, this is Alex- a long time member. He joined just after Bess, Tess and I did." Dongo said starting the meeting.
"Oh hi Alexander." Neil said staring at me. "Say big brother, when did you get out?"
To Be Continued....
