A new life.
A new life by Raven Fox: A human male gets dumped by his girlfriend and has to walk home. He comes across a strange object that turns out to be a recovery vehicle that transports him across the universe.
Marysville Washington, a house.
Eric is holding his girlfriend Signe as he gets ready to insert his penis inside her, but she pushes him off her. "No, I changed my mind, I don't want to do this, get dress and leave."
The human male glares at the skinny gal with small breasts as he gets dressed. He watches as the brunette hair human female puts on her clothing with his hazel colored eyes. Signe looks at the guy with medium brown hair that's long as he walks out of the room. "Wait, I drive you home, I am sorry, just not ready."
Eric stops at the door, then looks at her holding his anger in check. "No, you don't want to give me a ride at the moment. I suggest that you think of what you just did, because it was very dangerous. Don't call me, I'll call you, beside I need the cold air to cool myself off." He walks out of the house.
Signe just watched as her boyfriend with a slim build walked away. She put her hands to her face and cried.
Two hours later, a deserted street.
Eric walked down the road admiring the dark, plus looking at the sky looking at the stars. He did a mental calculation in his mind. "I should be home in three hours, two hours to the next bus stop, half to wait for one to take me close to my apartment. I am not going to call her for a week, no make it a month; no I'll find someone else. I think she's seeing someone else." Something streaks overhead. "Cool, a shooting star, oh, oh, it's heading here!"
The human runs as the fireball heads to the area he's at. The object didn't hit the ground hard; it slowed down and landed in the field. Eric stopped his running and looked at the object. He was going to leave the area, but he saw a car driving toward him. "That's Signe's car, I am hiding by this thing, I want to stay away from her for now." The human said to himself as he ran to the object.
Signe's car drove pass the area, Eric sneered at her as the car drove by. He accidentally put his hand on the object, something opened. The human did a close examination; it looked like a bullet being ten feet wide and twenty feet tall. A ramp extended to the ground arousing Eric's curiosity. He walked up the ramp entering the object.
Signe drove the stretch of road looking for Eric. She wanted to apologize to him, but she couldn't find him. So she did a u-turn after a mile and search the road again, but she couldn't find him. "Where is he, I bet he's hiding somewhere, maybe at that strange rock in the field." Signe stopped near the rock, but it flashed white and shot into the sky.
Inside the object.
Eric looked out a portal as the Earth shrank away. After he entered this thing, the door slammed shut. He cussed and demanded the door to open; an object grabbed him and stuck something at the base of his scull. The worst thing that happened a couple of needles came out of a panel and stabbed his testicles. He rolled on the floor grabbing his crouch yelling, then a gas filled the compartment.
Unknown time later.
"Dam that hurt. I am still in this thing, where am I?" Eric thought to himself getting up on his feet. He looked out of the portal seeing the outside. "This must be a collection vehicle for another race. I don't think the makers are still around from the looks of that planet."
The planet looked like Earth, but at one of the land masses there's a large crater. Eric looked at the space around the planet; he saw derelict space stations and satellites. "Well, if this place was high tech, I might be able to get something working. Maybe somehow run the computer programming on this vehicle and some how get me back to Earth." He said to himself as the vehicle entered the atmosphere.
Minutes later the vehicle landed, Eric walked down the ramp sighing. The city he's in is in ruins. He looked at the buildings overgrown with plants. The human watched as birds the size of falcons flew around being red in color. Eric walked to a sign tearing the vines off it. "It looks like ancient Egyptian writing, but somehow I understand it. Nimbus probe launch complex five." He said to himself walking down a path taking in the sites. A noise came from the vehicle, a small package ejected from a compartment. The human picked it up reading the writing on it saying. "Meal rations." Then the vehicle powered down. "Well, I better look around and see if I can find another way home." Eric thought to himself.
He wasn't alone, something is following him being quiet and out of sight. The female hunter watched as the bi-pedal life form walked from the old city. "I never thought I'll live to see a collecting vehicle bring something back from another planet." She said to herself following the life form very quietly not making a noise, because she's a hunter, being quiet is her specialty. If she made noise, she'll starve, but the fox taur vixen isn't going to starve. She already had a successful hunt; her kill is now draining not far from here. The vehicle's landing in the ancient city got her attention. "I better keep an eye on this creature, if it doesn't change direction, that bi-pedal life form will get killed in the forbidden zone."
Hours later.
Eric decided to walk in a direction toward the area that had the giant crater. He was curious about the crater. The human has a photographic memory, so if he looked at it long enough it will be burned in his mind. "I think it must be twenty miles from here, I am surprised that the city isn't leveled. That city must have had a force field, but what happen to the inhabitants?" Eric thought to himself. "What's that noise?" There's whistling sound like something winding up, then a rope hit him. Two weighted round objects wrapped around his calves and the third hit him in the back of the head. The human lost his balance and fell on the ground. "I've been taken down by a bola." He watched as four large black colored paws walked toward him. "What are you?" Then blackness.
Later, a campsite.
The human opened his eyes taking in his surroundings. He saw a carcass of a type of animal hanging from a tree. There's a fire in the center of the site, plus it's getting dark. Eric heard footsteps approaching, but his hands and feet are tied up. The fox taur vixen walked up to the fire.
To Eric's mind it looked like someone chopped off the head off a large fox and grafted a female torso to where the head was. Then grafted a fox head onto the female body. He examined the vixen taur; the lower body is the size of a pony making the upper body large. She's red in color with the black socks on her four legs and hands. The white pattern starting below her cheeks going down the front of her torso and going under her lower torso. The vixen taur has large breasts on her upper torso being contained by a type of vest being made of a type of skin. She flipped a strand of white hair off her muzzle; the white head hair is long stopping in the middle of her back.
He watched as the vixen taur tended the fire. Then she took a large knife cutting pieces of flesh off the animal impaling the pieces on a stick, then put the stick over the fire. She then back away from the fire and lay on the ground watching the fire. The vixen must of sense him looking at her, because she suddenly turned her head toward him. "Who are you?" She asked him.
Eric looked at the brown eyes looking at him. He manages to reply. "I am Eric, a human from the planet Earth." The human told her what happened to him plus he accidentally told her what his girlfriend did to him causing him to end up in his current situation. "Why did I tell her that?" He cussed in his mind.
The vixen taur chuckled walking to him. "My name is Ritva, something was wrong with her. I wouldn't have done that to you, because males are few in our villages. I am a wanderer; I don't have a village to call home, because the others think there's something wrong with me due to my white head hair."
"What's wrong with your hair color? I think it's kind of neat." Eric replied looking at her.
Ritva gazed at him. "Well, the other fox taurs have hair coloring like you and different shades, not white. So I just wander around this area." She cuts the bindings on his wrists, then hesitates at his ankles. "I want your word that you won't run away; you'll have a better chance of surviving in my company." The vixen said to him.
Eric looked at the large vixen taur. "I won't run away, but I want to find out if I can get back to my planet. Why did you stop me going to that crater?"
Ritva sighed looking at him. "Every time someone goes there, they don't come back. If someone manages to come back they're speaking gibberish and they die soon afterward. So we call it the forbidden zone, you don't want to go there." The vixen looks up in the sky sighing again.
"What landed there?" Asked Eric following Ritva's gaze.
"A piece of our moon, according to the legends a comet hit our moon and a large chunk of it hit our planet. Then there were the years of darkness. We don't know what's at the crater, I think there's something that makes us ill and it kills us. Do me a favor and don't go there, look up in the sky." Said the vixen.
Eric looked up in the sky and gasped. He saw what was left of this planet's moon in the sky. It is split in half with debris surrounding it. He saw a very large impact crater with cracks radiating from it, plus it seems to close. "Does anybody know how long ago this happened?" The human asked.
Ritva shrugged looking at him. "We don't know how long ago that happened. Was it five hundred years ago, one thousand years ago, a hundred thousand years ago? The population doesn't know."
Eric ran his thoughts thinking about the condition of the city he landed in, the human decided his next move. He'll go back to the city and find answers, but he had to find out how long he was out while traveling here. "Do you have any problems in going in that city?"
The vixen taur cut the bindings on his ankles, then sheathed the knife. "I have no problems with that, but stay close to me and don't wander off do you agree with that?"
The human rubbed his ankles looking at the vixen taur. "Yes, I'll stick with you, now I got to get something to eat."
Ritva looked at the pieces of meat cooking. "Well dinner is almost done; give it a few more minutes."
A while later.
After eating dinner, Eric felt a pressure in his bladder and walked to the side of the campsite. Ritva watched him for a minute and tended at the fire. She heard a yell coming from the human and ran to him. He is looking at his pubic area in shock. "What happen to my sex organs?" Eric was yelling.
The vixen moved his hand away and shook her head. She saw the same type of sex organ as a male fox taur has. Eric has a sheathe and a very hairy scrotum and his pubic area with white course fur. Ritva pulled his pants down noting that the fur is on his legs down a few inches, then she pulled up his shirt finding out that the white fur started at his navel. "Your equipment seems fine to me." The vixen said to Eric.
"But my organ was different when I entered that vehicle, plus I didn't have this white fur in my pubic area." He looks at the area again, then at Ritva. When he looked at the vixen taur, he focused his gaze at her large breasts, he felt something exited him, then he looked down seeing a good size pink colored penis sliding out of his sheathe. "Crap, wait, it seems bigger than before, it must be three times bigger than before." A black furred hand grabs his shoulder.
The vixen is giving him a seductive look, then she looked at his unsheathed penis. Eric noticed that she's moving her tail aside exposing her vaginal area. Ritva noticed that he's a little short, so she folded her legs so that her body is closer to the ground. She looked at him again moving her tail aside.
Eric looked at the fox taur vixen inviting him to have sex with her. "Screw it; I don't know how long I am going to be here. So I better have fun with this new equipment between my legs. When I get back to Earth, I am keeping this equipment; it's bigger than my old equipment. I'll just shave a few areas and not wear Speedos again, just swim trunks." He thought to himself taking off his shoes, socks and pants.
The human walked up to the kneeling vixen. He got on his knees moving her fur and tail aside. Eric grabbed Ritva's sides and guided his unsheathed penis inside her. The vixen moaned as his length slid inside her. The human felt the vaginal canal spasm as he bucked his hips against her flank. He noticed that her vagina felt like the one off a human female. The sensation is more sensitive then with his original penis. Eric held her sides burying his face in her back. The human felt the warmth of her body and inhaled her musky smell. He rubbed her sides feeling her fine fur and her muscles spasm.
Ritva looked into the sky feeling the hard organ inside her. The vixen looked at the remains of the moon thinking to herself while feeling Eric rubbed her lower body. She felt the nipples of her breasts stiffen as the rush of pleasure coursed thru her. Ritva found out during her conversation with the Earthling, that he's only twenty, a few years younger than her. "But he might be hundreds of years old or thousands. How long ago that collection vehicle launch I don't know." Dread went thru her mind. "Is his planet still around, if I help him will I be sending him to a ruin world?" The vixen thought to herself as she felt Eric empty inside accompanied by a scream.
He dismounted Ritva watching as his penis slid back in his sheathe. The vixen got up on her legs and faces him. She brought down her large head and licked his pubic area. Eric shivered as she clean him with her large tongue. After she was done, he decided to do a nice thing to her. The human gave her a hug stroking her white head hair. "Thanks, I needed that." Replied Ritva giving him a lick on one of his ears.
The vixen looked at the position of the moon in the sky and looked at him. "I got to set up a sleeping area for you because it's going to get cold."
"Don't worry; I'll sleep by the fire by you." Answered Eric looking at her.
"It gets real cold at night to freeze water, so do as I say for now and stay by me." Said the vixen taur as she started digging a trench in the ground with her forelimbs.
The human watched as the vixen dug a trench two and a half feet wide, a foot and half deep and five and half feet long. "What about you?"
"I have been sleeping outside for the last seven years so this doesn't bother me, get in that trench or you'll freeze." Said Ritva looking at him.
Eric lay in the trench, then Ritva's large lower body covered it. He felt her settle, then the area got warm. The human felt sleepy under the vixen and sleep claims him.
The next morning, the camp site.
Something cold, wet and slimy touched his neck. "Christ!" The human yelled getting up out of the trench. He saw Ritva giving him a toothy grin licking her nose. Eric moved and stretched his limbs due to them being stiff.
Ritva looked at him finishing packing her stuff. The animal she killed yesterday is packed in skins and the parts the vixen doesn't use is already buried in the ground.
"How long were you up?" Eric asked noting that the sun is already passed some mountains. He noticed that the vixen did a lot of work by finishing the butchering of that animal and packing up the camp. She already has breakfast cooking on the fire.
She looked at him. "I've been up for awhile since the sun was peaking over the mountains. After breakfast and putting out the fire, we should be in the city here." The vixen points at the sun moving her arm at a position in the sky. "I want you to look at something, maybe you can figure out this thing I seen in the city. Maybe it can help you get home." Ritva said in a low voice.
They ate breakfast and put out the fire, then left the camp.
Later in the city, in a building.
Eric studied the condition of the building as he walked in. The inside didn't seem to be dirty, just a slight thick layer of dust on the floor. He noticed a set of canine tracks going in and out. The human looked at Ritva's tracks as she walked in noting that they're the same. Eric stopped crouched looking at one. "I was in here a couple of days ago." Said the vixen looking at him. "Sometimes there's something worth trading with a village. I need you to look at this thing in the next room." The human followed the vixen taur in to the next room.
"What is that?" Eric asked looking at the far wall. He saw a glass pane on a stainless steel base with a few controls on it. The human walked to it studying it seeing that a piece is detached. Eric put the piece in the socket and the screen came on. "Don't worry; it must be like a TV on my planet. I think these cubes are like DVDS, I am going to put this one in." He puts one in.
The glass shimmered and an image of an anthro male fox appeared with short tan head hair. "One of the ancients." Replied Ritva touching the glass.
The image spoke. "Date 2300-9-4, personal log of Grarrek. It's been five years since we breed the first taur forms of our race. Ten years ago, we found a very large deposit of the mineral we use for powering our technology and civilization. The deposit is located twenty miles from here in the Chikalite mountain range. The reason we're breeding a different race is because of our small stature and few numbers." The male fox sighs. "We're always been few in numbers, maybe creating these taurs might revive our race. They been bred a larger size than us and rugged in construction for mining the mineral in the mountains."
Eric removed the cube and looked at Ritva; she was staring at the glass. He placed another cube in the slot.
Grarrek appeared again, he seem older. "Date 2325-9-7, personal log of Grarrek. The taurs are doing an excellent job in mining. We have the smarter ones do heavy mechanical work in ship repairs and building construction. Two days ago, we launch a specimen collection craft to the other side of the universe. Its mission is to land on a planet with life and bring back a life form. The onboard machine will put a device in the specimen's brain so it can read our writing and understand our language. We don't know how long it will take on its trip, but after lift off on the target planet, its program to put the specimen in status and make it breeding compatible with us."
The human sighed looking at the vixen sitting next to him. She still stared at the glass with a blank expression in her features. "Put this one in next." Ritva said giving him another one of the cubes.
The fox that appeared is a vixen, she has medium tan head hair and her main color is a light brown. "Date 2525-9-5, personal log of Kailia. It's been two hundred years since the launch of our collection craft and the birth of the second generation fox taurs. They coexist with us since they were first bred and been helping out our race. Things are looking up for us, the mineral production is steady and it looks like this deposit will be supporting our race for a few thousand years..." The area around Kailia shook and the image went blank. A minute later she reappeared with a look of horror. "A comet has just hit our moon knocking it out of its orbit; a large piece of our moon is heading toward us. Our military is sending fighters and missiles to the piece. I hope we succeed in destroying the piece."
Another minute of a blank screen, she appeared again. The vixen still looked haggard, she spoke. "This is my last entry; the piece has hit the mountain range twenty miles from here. The city shield held, but the sky is going darker by the minute. I can see the large fire at the impact area. Some of us are going down stairs to the shelters with the fox taurs." The vixen sniffed. "I hope it was quick for the ones in the mines, I think it's the end for us dying a slow death in the darkness. Who ever is watching this, if you happened to be collected by our collection craft, we're sorry that we can't greet you. We wanted to share our knowledge with you and learn from you." Kailia looks around and gazes toward the screen. "I am heading downstairs now."
"My god." Whispered Eric looking at the NO SIGNAL from the glass. He turned off the screen.
"Well." Ritva cleared her throat. "So, my kind was created by bi-pedal foxes to help them out to mine a mineral from the forbidden zone."
Eric turned to her. "Any idea where your kind started from? I don't think it was the city or you might have mentioned the bipedal foxes."
Ritva closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them. "I heard that we came out of the ground long ago near the forbidden zone after the food stored down there ran out. The sky was still semi-dark, but we survived." She changed her tone. "Because we were built to be rugged and strong. I don't know of any bi-pedal foxes, I don't think there are any left. Well, I shouldn't be upset at them; they made us rugged to survive mining and heavy work."
Eric looked around examining the room. There are a few tables and chairs; to the human it looked like a conference room where personal held meetings. He walked to a door that had pictures above it. Ritva walked up beside him looking at the writing. "I can't read this this language, its dead."
"For some reason, I understand it. Well that collection vehicle stuck something in my head. It says: Disaster Shelter, I think that's where Kailia and some fox taurs went to." he looks at the vixen. "If you don't want to go down there, I understand." The human opened the door and started down the stairs.
A set of large hands grabbed him, he gets picked up and he felt a set of large breasts behind him. "I seen dead fox taurs who decided to go to the forbidden zone and manage to return, plus I've been butchering my kills for years. Seeing some skeletons in a room isn't going to make sick." She said putting him down, then the vixen lit a torch with a piece of flint. They descended the stairs to the bowels of the building.
Minutes later a large room.
Going into the shelter hasn't been good so far. The stairs led to a long corridor with a lot of doors. Every door revealed the same thing, a bunch of bones in each room with shattered large glass tubes. Eric turned to Ritva. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea."
The vixen put an arm around his shoulders. "Don't give up, this is the last door. If it's the same, we'll go back up stairs and plan our next move. This is only one building in a city with hundreds of buildings and each building might have a place like this."
Eric nodded as they opened the last door, the human relaxed as he walked in the room. What he saw is a more intact room with intact glass tubes, then he realized they're status chambers because he can see bi-pedal anthropomorphic foxes and fox taurs like Ritva. He walked to one of the status chambers seeing Kailia in one. The vixen is floating in a clear green liquid.
"Are they alive?" Asked Ritva walking up looking at the chambers.
Eric looked at the vixen, then at the one floating in green liquid. "Don't get jealous, I hope they're alive so I can go home."
The fox taur vixen backed away feeling a bad feeling. She wanted the human from Earth to stay, but for now she'll help Eric to see if the foxes and taurs in status are alive. The vixen looked at Kailia in her status chamber. "You better help him or I'll make you wish that you died."
The human looked at the controls and sighed. He turned to Ritva. "I think someone was here before us, there's a panel missing."
Ritva looked at the control console, then walked around it examining around it. She saw something on the floor, a few feathers tied together on a stick. The vixen held it up to Eric. "I know who took it, a member of the Grick clan." She remembers the other rooms. "Do you want to try one from another room?"
The human sighed looking at the control console. "I really like to see if I can get the missing one first, if I try a different one I might kill these foxes." He grins at Ritva looking at the vest she's wearing. Eric noticed that there are a few trinkets decorating it from what she might have scavenged from this city. "I think that the panel might be decorating some ones dwelling or whatever you call your homes. You just gave me an idea."
They left the room, but Eric went in one of the others. A few minutes later he came out stuffing something in his the pocket of his jacket. The vixen knew what he's up to and quietly chuckled to herself. "The Grick clan lives in a village nearby, we should be there when the sun is setting. I'll repeat myself Eric, stick close to me like a young kit. When we get there, we'll rent a room for the night, then look for our missing piece."
Hours later, fox taur village.
Eric looked at the different huts in the village. He saw that they're log construction with thatch roofs. The human saw fields growing stuff and a few vixens walking dragging animal carcasses' on litters. A couple of them looked at Ritva and whispered something between themselves. "Don't ever leave my sight Eric if you want to go home." Whispered Ritva to him as they walked to a large hut. "This is a place where we can stay the night."
Inside the place Ritva walked to a male fox taur. Eric saw that he's a little larger than Ritva. He looked at Ritva, then at Eric. "Well, Ritva, can you explain this?"
"Some type of vehicle of the ancients brought him here on this world yesterday. I am just passing through Nigel; he's stuck here because we can't get the vehicle going." Said Ritva giving Eric a be quiet look, then she looked at Nigel again. "I need a room and a bath for the night."
Nigel looked at Eric giving him a once over. "Sure no problem, it will cost you a little extra than I normally charge."
"I can spare a brisket and a rack of ribs off an elk I killed yesterday." Replied Ritva reaching in one of the saddle bags on her lower torso. Eric saw the bola with its three balls made of a type of wood.
"Deal, pleasure doing business with you." Said the male fox taur taking the meat.
In the bathhouse part of the dwelling.
Eric washed his clothing and hangs it to dry. He settled in the hot water pool in the ground. The pool is lined with rocks giving a cobbled place to sit. The human relaxed as Ritva climbed in the pool wearing nothing giving him a look of her large breasts. The white furred mounds are firm with no sag with pink nipples poking thru the fur. She submerged completely them surfaced whipping her long white hair to her back. The vixen paddled to him and held him to her breasts.
The soft flesh pressed on his body, being a heterosexual male it was hard to keep his penis sheathed. He relaxed his body as the vixen cleaned him. The human must have fallen asleep, because later, he found himself on a large bed with the vixen taur holding him. Eric looked at her looking at him grinning. "Let me guess, a night cap." Ritva nodded still grinning positioning herself so he can access her hind quarters. "Can I fondle and suck on your breasts when I am done?" The vixen nodded again as Eric crawled to her rear.
Later Ritva held him feeling him suck on her breasts. She shook her head as he fell asleep in her arms. The vixen stroked medium brown hair looking at it. Thoughts raced thru her mind wondering what she'll do if he leaves her life. "Just keep wandering if he leaves, I saw a male in one of those status chambers. If he ends up staying maybe we'll settle down some where." Ritva thought to herself as she fell asleep holding the small human.
The next morning.
"Jeeze, that's cold!" Eric yelled rubbing his back on the mattress. He looked at Ritva grinning licking her nose.
"The look you just did was funny." Said the vixen putting on her vest. Eric watched as those beautiful breasts vanish when Ritva tied the front of her vest.
"If I end up staying her, I am making a few bikini tops so I can look at that cleavage. She has a very nice body on her, I don't give a dam she way bigger than me." Eric thought to himself as he got dressed.
The vixen looked at his white scrotum area shaking her head. She directed her gaze as his slim body with hair on his chest and abdominal area, plus the course brown hairs on his legs and arms. "If he ends up staying here, I'll make him a few loin cloths. He shouldn't cover that body of his. I think it's pretty nice with that hairy chest and that little bit on his shoulders and back." Ritva thought to herself sighing as the last of his body gotten covered up with clothes.
Later out in the village.
Eric stayed close to Ritva as they walked around the village. The human stayed quiet as the vixen did a few trades with some merchants. He quietly smiled as the vixen headed to a different section of the village. She turned her head to him. "Hand me that extra panel you got yesterday, please stay quiet unless some one ask you something. If I shake my head stay quiet, I know a few vixens and old males of this clan. I might be able to talk them out of it or I might pull the switch. Here is where they live."
The vixen walked up to a large dwelling, it seems the same size as the inn they stayed at last night. He really liked last night sleeping against the vixen instead of under her. The human liked resting his head on those large breasts. "That breast size will make a freak out of a human woman, but it works on her. I don't think I'll be going back to bare skin and bi-pedal females after having sex with a fox taur vixen." Eric thought to himself as they walked up to a door.
A few minutes later.
Eric sat on the floor sipping tea that tasted like cherry out of a bowel. He kept his composure as six fox taurs stared at him. The human stayed quiet as Ritva talked to them. She mentions where she saw herds of elk and other game she hunted and how things are looking at other villages. The vixen changed the subject by taking out the object she found yesterday in the building.
"That belonged to my grandfather. He lost it when he found this." The oldest male said taking out the missing panel handing it to Ritva.
"Interesting artifact Oak." She said examining it; Eric saw her take out the one from the other room. The vixen accidentally dropped it and went to pick it up.
Eric used that moment to place the bowel down and do a fake coughing fit making the fox taurs look in his direction. He saw Ritva do the switch, then she took a piece of cloth and started wiping it. "I am so sorry; it looks like some dirt got on it. Let me clean it off." She handed both the panel and the item both to Oak.
The male fox taur looked at the object then put it in a pocket of the shirt he's wearing. "No harm done Ritva, I am letting you know if you ever get tired of wandering around, there's that clan opening for you. We can always use a skillful hunter like you."
"I just might take you up on your offer, but you got to adopt him to." Replied Ritva pointing at Eric. "That's incase if I can't get him home."
Oak looked at the human shrugging. "I have to talk to the others; I won't have an answer for a week."
They talked for a few hours before Ritva said that they had to leave.
Hours later, the status room.
Ritva watched as Eric placed the panel in place. She looked at the bi-pedal foxes and taurs floating in the clear green colored liquid. "I been watching them for a while, I swear I see them breathing. How can they do that, I seen a few people fell in a river and they stopped breathing till a wise woman breathed for them for a while." The vixen said.
Eric shrugged while doing some connectors. He had to check another one to make sure he's putting the connectors in the right place. "This fluid must oxygenated, like blood. On Earth some of our deep ocean divers breathe a fluid instead of a gas because you can't compress fluid. You breathed fluid when you were inside your mother before you were born." The human grinned as light came on the panel.
"I am surprise this place still has power." Said Ritva looking at the equipment operating.
"I think this place must have a type of reactor powering it or it‘s solar powered." He said reading something, then he typed on the reinstalled panel. The human looked at the ten bi-pedal foxes and twelve taur types. "He goes nothing." As he typed a few more commands.
"Shutting off status systems, commencing reviving process." Said a computerized voice.
Ritva watched as the tubes drained and opened. Kailia's didn't drain; Eric took a chair smashing the tube. The vixen watched as he got her lungs drained and gotten her breathing again. She watched as the other foxes bend over coughing up the clear green fluid and making strange noise as their lungs started breathing air. The taurs made a strange sound because they have four lungs, the two in the upper body and the other two in the lower body.
One of the bi-pedal male foxes walked up to Ritva, then looked at Eric checking on Kailia. His eyes went wide when he did a better look at the human. "Excuse me; do you know what year it is?"
Ritva did a grin showing her teeth. "I was hoping that you can find out, because we don't know what year it is." The vixen told the male fox of her witnessing the recovery vehicle landing and finding Eric walking to the impact crater.
The male fox sighed. "So you're saying that so far, the ten of us might be the last of our race and you taur type are flourishing in villages?"
"That's what seems to be going on at the current time now. Is there any more of these places at the other buildings?" Asked Ritva watching Eric walking toward her.
The human looked at her shrugging. "She's resting now; I think she'll be out for a while." He looked at the male fox staring at him. "I hope you can get that vehicle going again."
"I don't know, I got to take a look at it, plus I don't know how many years passed. The comet hit the moon two hundred years after we launched it. We don't the condition of the faster than light ships orbiting the planet. Some of them got away during the disaster; also we don't know what direction they went." Answered the fox.
"Eric one thing at a time lets get out of here and plan our next move. I got to figure out how to feed twenty three foxes and one human now." Replied Ritva looking at the foxes walking around.
The fox that was talking to them went to a panel pushing on it. A door opened and he got some items. "Oh, my name is Norman. This place has enough food to support us for a couple of years. The room that has the viewer has a shelter for us to sleep in." Norman looked at Eric. "Let's go to that room and take the advice of that vixen with you and plan the next move."
The human nodded watching a couple of fox taurs pick up Kailia. He shrugged and followed them upstairs to the room. Eric noted that the bi-pedal foxes were smaller than the taur type, but they were a little larger than him and a little taller than his five foot five inch height. Norman was asking Ritva a lot of questions of how the weather is now. The human just relaxed himself as they went thru a different door to a place that has a lot of beds.
Night time, the emergency shelter, hours later.
She heard voices talking to each other. Kailia picked out the accents of the taurs talking to her kind. The fox taurs seem to have a deep loud tone due to their four lungs. The vixen heard a different pitch from a different life form, it wasn't her kind or a taur because it is a higher pitch and the accent was strange. She remembered looking at a strange face with a strange eye color with round pupils, not the slit type pupils of her kind and the taurs.
Kailia opened her eyes to examine her surroundings. She saw a strange creature mostly hairless with light brown hair talking to Norman and a taur vixen with white head hair. The unknown taur seem around her age and must live a rough life from the lean build on her lower torso. "She must work in a mine; no I saw the mines get hit that night. But where did that strange looking creature come from?" Kailia thought to herself looking at the creature and the white haired vixen.
Ritva turned to Kailia's bed looking at the vixen. "Sorry for waking you, we're trying to find out how long you guys have been sleeping."
"Who is that?" Asked Kailia looking at Eric.
"A human male from the planet Earth, your collection vehicle picked him up and brought him here. We're trying to figure out how many years passed since it picked him up, plus we're debating to see if it's worth sending him back or just have him live the rest of his life here. Your collection vehicle did a couple of modifications to him; I don't mind one of the modifications done to him." Said Ritva looking at her. "By the way Kailia, my name is Ritva."
"Did you really do what I think you did to him?" Kailia asked looking the human slightly blushing. "How did you know my name?"
Ritva laughed. "We saw your recording, plus your collection vehicle changed this human's reproductive organs to what a male fox taur has. Yes we had sex, twice already; it's been four years since I had it last."
Kaila took another looked at the human. "What is your name?"
Eric looked at the vixen with medium tan head hair and light brown fur. He looks at her large slim build with large breasts. The human noted the light tan going from her cheeks down the front of her body, plus the medium brown socks and gloves. To Eric, she seems cute. "My name is Eric, after that vehicle landed, it shut down."
Kailia gazed at him with her blue eyes with flecks of gold in the iris. "Tomorrow morning, I'll take a look at the vehicle." She noted Ritva's look of disappointment. "I don't know if we can launch it again."
The next day.
Norman, Kailia, Eric and Ritva walked to the collection vehicle. Eric looked at the vehicle with mixed feelings. He seemed both angry and excited at the same time. The human liked his relationship with Ritva, he never meet a nice female as her on Earth because she looked out for him. The vixen Kailia asks Ritva to borrow a square object from her vest.
Kailia inserted the square object to a port of the vehicle, then typed on a panel at the side of the bullet shaped craft. The ramp lowered, then she went in. Eric held his breath expecting the craft to launch. A few minutes later Kailia came out looking like she did in the final moments in the recording. She hugged him crying. "I am so sorry, we can't send you back. If we can, it won't be the same world you left."
Eric was about to reply, but Ritva spoke on his behalf. "What's wrong Kaila!?" She literally shouted the question.
Kailia looked at the white haired vixen. She looked at Eric mouthing something, then she looked at Ritva again. "We launched the collection craft at the year 2325; the comet hit our moon at the year 2525." She looked at Norman saying. "It's the year 4326, we been in status for over eighteen hundred years." The vixen directed her gaze at Eric. "This craft picked you up at the year 3325. I am sorry; it took you one thousand years to get from your planet to here."
He ran to Ritva hugged her and started trembling. The vixen looked at the bi-pedal foxes giving them an angry look. She stroked Eric's hair then asked. "What do you mean the craft can't be launched?"
Kailia looked at the human hugging the fox taur. She never had anyone show her affection. "The craft is two thousand years old and the drive is now inoperable. It gave out when it landed, plus the computer crashed and the data is damaged. We don't know where this Earth is. The only thing that's working is the chronometer that tells how long the craft flew. I am awfully sorry Eric, from what I see, it will take a generation or two to get our infrastructure up again. We can't refuel it until we find a new mineral source because the piece of our moon crashed in to the mountains that we were mining."
Ritva did a growl at Kailia, but Eric hugged her real tight. "Don't get mad at them, it's not their fault. The foxes that launch the craft are long gone. I made up my mind; I am staying here if you don't mind me being your mate." He stroked her gently looking at her.
The vixen calmed down stroking his hair. She looked at Kailia, then at Eric's hazel colored eyes. Ritva looked at the two bi-pedal foxes in a more calm manner. "Since I have no village to call home, I and my mate will stay at this city to help you out. One thing, I am a hunter, not a miner." The vixen heard a laugh from Eric. "What was that all about?"
Eric let go of Ritva still laughing. "A joke, I'll tell you about it later." He looked at the remains of the city and turned around examining the buildings. "I am expecting to see a statue half buried in the dirt some where." The human watched as six of the fox taurs walked toward them.
A vixen walked up to Norman. "We checked six disaster shelters and found only five intact. We revived five hundred bi-pedal foxes and six hundred taurs." The fox nodded at the vixen.
He looked at the human still close to the vixen. "Well, a little cleaning up and repairs, this city can get up and running. There's enough mineral stored to run it for five years with the full population, from what you're saying about some of the status chambers being smashed, it looks like our race is still going to be few in numbers again."
One of the fox taurs patted Norman on his back. "Like we did long ago, we'll help you guys out."
Ritva nodded watching as bi-pedal foxes and taurs exited buildings looking at their surroundings. She watched as Kailia walked up to them. The bi-pedal vixen looked at Eric, then at her. "Can I be part of your family?"
"Yes you can, as long you understand that I am in charge." Ritva answered looking at the smaller vixen.
Eric looked at Ritva and Kailia with a puzzled look. "What's going on here?"
Ritva patted Eric on the shoulder. "Like I said a couple of days ago, males are few. So he usually has two to five mates, but the first female he asks to be his mate is in charge of the wives. So Kailia has to do as I say or she risks getting thrown out of our family."
Eric sighed looking at Kailia gazing at him. He shrugged giving her a hug. The human liked how his head is even with her breasts. "I am just the right height." Eric thought to himself.
That night in the shelter.
The place seems a little livelier with more foxes talking to each other. Eric saw Ritva sleeping on a bed on the floor. He lay next to her feeling her warmth. A hand grabbed him gently pulling at him. Kailia is the one getting him to stand up.
The bi-pedal vixen leads him to a place near Ritva. She removed her top and bra releasing her breasts, then removed the skirt she was wearing. Eric looked at her large lean body. "Let's see, Ritva said that it's been four years since she last had sex. But for me it's been eighteen hundred years, so it's been awhile for me." The vixen undoes his clothing pulling his pants down. Kailia looked at the white furry area between his legs. "Well, it seems that our vehicle did a nice job on you." The penis exited it's sheathe. "Hmm, not bad, just the right size."
Eric gets gently pushed to the ground, the vixen straddles his body. Kailia grabbed his member holding it up. She lowered herself on to it. The human watched as the pink colored lips of the vixen's vagina touched the tip of his penis. He shuddered as his penis slid inside the larger vixen.
She held him to her breasts stroking his hair. Kailia relaxed feeling the stiffen member inside her. The vixen licked his face and placed his face back to her breasts.
The human inhaled her musk odor comparing Kailia to Ritva. Both females are sexually attractive to him. They felt the same to him in the inside, but Kailia's tail seems a little longer than Ritva's and slender. Eric decided that he loved both equally to avoid any conflicts. He backed away and examined Kailia's breasts, large like Ritva's and firm with nipples poking thru the fur, the human fondled them triggering a moan from Kailia. The vaginal muscles spasm pulling on his penis, along with a moan from Kailia.
A few minutes later, Eric yelled as he emptied himself in Kailia. The vixen got up and cleaned his pubic area. He went to Ritva and lay down against her feeling her body heat. Then he felt Kailia get close to him, the human then went to sleep between two vixens.
One year later.
Things went well during this one year since he landed on this planet named Nimbus. Eric is living with two bi-pedal and two taur vixens. The human did his part in reviving the city helping with reconstruction. So far the only vehicles that survived eighteen hundred years of being dormant were a few flying craft and ground transport type. Some of the biped foxes are technicians and engineers. They're at the moment getting assembly plants going again, so vehicle use is being rationed.
The villages didn't mind around three thousand foxes suddenly appearing out of nowhere and living in the ruin city. When the city started lighting up in the middle of the night, it had gotten the attention of hunters in the area. Wanders like Ritva settled in the city and started helping out.
Ritva didn't take the clan Grick's offer because they didn't want to adopt Eric. She politely told them that she's part of the clan Eric who resides in the city.
On one trip in a flying vehicle, Kailia talked Eric to join her and Norman. They started the flight to the impact area. "I hope you have any radiation sensors, because something in this area kills anybody who goes in this area. Ritva and the fox taurs call this area the forbidden zone." Said Eric as the aircraft took off.
Norman nodded as he turned on a few switches. Eric peered out of a window as the trees thinned out. The human saw growth trying to reclaim ground that's sterile of life. He saw that the ground is still gray in some areas. An alarm sounded, the craft turned away. Eric saw a large black rock in an even larger crater, but the ground is still glowing silver. "That area is still hot; I think it's still going to be hot for another few hundred years. It's the radiation from the mineral that kills anything living, first reason goes, then speech and finally it kills the nervous system. The mineral is harmless, but expose it to high temperature and explosion; it will become unstable generating a killing radiation. The mountain range shields the city from it. We can't do anything about it, because our radiation cleaning machinery is in orbit on a space station, plus it will be a few years before we‘re going in to space." Said Norman as the craft flew away.
Eric watched as the mountain range went away. He settled in his seat thinking that he can't wait till he got home in Ritva‘s, Kailia‘s, Jasmine's and Jade's company. "I wonder what's happening on Earth at this moment." The human said to himself as the city came into view.
Epilogue, planet Earth seaside, the same moment.
Rick a human male watched the waves crashed against the cliff he's standing on. He watched as the moon rise in to view. A black furred hand touches his shoulder. "Just watching the sky and the ocean Tiphaine." The human turned his head looking at the red orange anthropomorphic vixen with medium brown hair.
"I admit, it's a lovely view." Said the vixen watching the moon rise.
"I know it's been almost one thousand years since you foxes showed up here, but happen to your planet?" Asked Rick looking at his wife.
She looked at the moon. "Our moon was hit by a comet shattering it causing large pieces to impact it. Some of us manage to escape our planet on those ships that landed here."
Rick nodded remembering that in the early twenty first century around fifty ships suddenly appeared at high orbit carrying anthropomorphic foxes and taur types. "What will your planet be like now?"
Tiphaine shrugged looking at him. "Maybe still barren with no life, but it takes two years to go there light speed, it took the ships with us in status eight hundred years to find Earth. Its not worth the effort to send a ship there, it might take another few thousand years before it can support life again."
Rick rested his head on Tiphaine's upper arm because she's almost two feet taller than him. "At least you found a new home here, I am awfully sorry for what happen to your original home world."
"It's all right, things happened, I am glad that Earth has a defense against rogue comets and asteroids." Said the vixen watching the sky go dark.
THE END.
