Chapter 136: You Can't Get What You Want Until You Know What You WANT

Day 1028 (Sunday Afternoon the Movie Palace in World One)

The adolescent otter took his time bathing the grey steer; he washed every nook, cranny and orifice. When he had finished the otter was tired.

Very good job. The steer said patting the adolescent on his head.

Thank you. The otter-boy said meekly_. That was quite tiring. By the way, where do I sleep?_

You mean as in personal space? The grey steer asked.

Peace offerings aren't allowed such luxuries; when they are adopted they belong to the entire clan. The steer said retying his loincloth. He then handed the otter-boy his.

Oh, I see. The little otter said sadly.

Do not concern yourself with such trivial issues.

Why is that? The adolescent asked looking at the steer quite odd.

Because it looks like you have a line! He said pointing.

The otter-boy turned around just in time to see a line forming outside of the steer's relaxation chamber. Apparently someone had seen him working on the steer and word had gotten out because it looked like the entire clan was there! Males, females and calves.

The little otter spent the rest of the afternoon and evening bathing each and every member of his adoptive clan. When he finally finished, he dropped to his paws and knees exhausted wishing he had a private space where he himself could relax himself.

As he sat resting a young couple happened to walk by. The steer and the cow looked at the sleeping otter and then at each other as if something unspoken was being said between the two.

The brown steer who was not quite as muscular as the one who gave the adolescent otter his orientation- but was still quite handsome in his own right, picked up the little otter and passed it to his girl who cradled him as the two walked away.

Sometime during the night the otter-boy awoke to find that he was lying on the female steer. She was cuddling tightly him like he was her calf- nuzzling him and kissing him.

*moan*

Oh yeah and there was that moaning, rocking and ragged breaths- what was going on?

As the little otter-boy took stock in his surroundings, he realized what the grey steer said was right. A breeding pair had taken him in for the night! He was being looked after by the female. But wait there was that rocking motion- where was that coming from?

It was then that he realized that there were two additional paws on the female steer. She was cuddling him with her right and she had her left one above her head. But there were two more one- was griping her waist and another her chest right next to where his head was laying- odd. It was then that the adolescent otter realized they weren't alone. The female steer was laying on her lover- he was just off to the otter's left. They were lying in a 'Y' formation, the she beast on the left, her lover on the right and where they came together- um, they came together.

The little otter also realized the moans were coming from the she- beast! He casually glanced downward- she had her legs spread wide open resting on top of her lover's knees while his legs were also spread wide open, a long phallus was moving into and out of her inner most depths.

The little otter watched as the penis continued to move in and out of her at an increasing pace. As it did, the female's moans increased in volume and frequency.

The little otter watched the breeding pair with strange fascination until the brown steer whispered something into his lover's ear. She nodded in approval as he held her tight and snorted.

The adolescent otter swore he saw the two orbs that were attached to the steer's penis pulsate just before his lover let out a final moan. When the brown steer pulled out, his shaft was covered in this gloppy gooey white stuff. The female's vagina seemed to be leaking it too- a lot of it.

The male and female steers stared at each other before kissing the otter-boy. Thank you offering. The she beast said.

Yes thank you offering. The he beast added. Your presence will ensure that my Tifa will soon be very heavy with our offspring.

Shortly afterwards they fell asleep- well the two steers did, but the little otter was kept wide awake by a raging erection which his loincloth wouldn't hide. Who could sleep after seeing that breeding pair... breed?!

"So this was the film showing at the other theater in World Three Alex?"

"Yup. What did you think of it?" I responded to my perfect person.

"That was an amazing film pet." Lady Ursa said as we exited the theater. "Despite some misgivings, the little otter realized that he may have left his immediate family behind in order to become the offering, but he obtained a much larger family in the process."

"That is was mistress." I said taking her paw. "As the film ended, I don't think there was a single flaccid male in the entire theater.

(I know I was looking. Great story- with great sex.)

"Is the theater in World Three as big as this one?"

"It is slightly bigger by about 10 seats, a slight improvement." I said to her. "Despite this, it is just nice to have some down time..." I said as her communicator sounded off.

(SERIOUSLY?!)

My fierce ursine warrior answered it- it was Sanda with our assignment for the forth coming week.

Day 1031 (Night)

"It is quite different being on that side huh pet?" Lady Ursa said teasing me.

"Yes it is mistress." I said from the driver's side of the silver prototype.

"Well you do need some experience behind the wheel; you can't be a copilot forever."

"Yeah I agree. I just feel a little out of sorts."

"Why is that Alex?"

"This isn't OUR prototype." I said staring at my she beast.

"The blue, red and silver are all identical pet."

"That is true, but I am used to the blue one with Overwatch- we have been through so much. It just feels weird being in another with an unnamed automated assistant."

"Hmm. Perhaps you should name this one as well?" She said to me.

"Perhaps. Are you seeing anything?"

"Um, one second Alex." My fierce ursine warrior said scanning the weapons console.

Apparently she was more used to being the pilot rather than the copilot.

"It is the third toggle switch." I said making a smug face.

"Right." She said pressing it.

As the keyboard and monitor emerged from the glove compartment, my warrior bear started typing.

"Deploy the probe, but don't launch it." I said.

"I know pet, I know."

*Surveillance probe engaged*

"Set a radius of three miles." I said to her.

She gave me such a look as if to say back off I am the senior operative here.

"Well that is what I would do. By the way, the halo projector is holding." I said staring at the upper right monitor in the center stack.

"I am not detecting any activity within a three mile radius Alex."

"Perhaps we should expand the radius as wide as possible."

"Relax pet if that anonymous tip the core received is correct we will find those responsible."

"Still the accusations are incredible someone driving away residents from their homes so that they could be demolished and high end housing built for aristocratic clientele. That is just too fantastic."

*It would be more fantastic if the tip is credible Mr. Winter.* The automated assistant chimed in.

"So now we wait. Another stakeout with nothing but time. I know- AA."

*Yes Mr. Winter?*

"Access the hub and play the latest news report."

*As you wish Mr. Winter.*

"You five are charged with with plotting against the empire, plotting against your fellow citizens, illegal imprisonment, spreading fear, conveying terror and generalized mayhem what do you have to say for yourselves?" The High Evolutionary said staring down the Valkyries at their Final Judgement.

Their leader the blond in the fatigues dropped to her knees. "Master you are completely wrong! I am not Diamond!"

"Really? You look like her, are dressed like her and have her tracking chip." The master and ruler of all Counter Earth stated. He was wearing a black a red uniform and staring intensely at the condemned with those fire red eyes of his.

"Nor am I! " The redhead in the cell next to her protested. " I am not a rebel nor have I had thoughts of bringing down the empire!"

"We are all speaking the truth master!" The brunette who had ridden on Newton's back said. "We are beastials not rebels!"

"Beastials?" The dictator said.

"I am Newton Leaf, a reporter for the hub!"

"You five deny that you were at the theater opening last week?" The High Evolutionary said turning to Sir Wolf who had crossed his arms and was staring down at the condemned.

"No I was there! I was covering the event for the news service!" The brunette rebel said.

"I was there watching the movie with some friends!" The blond and red head said in unison.

"As were we!" Ruby and Emerald shouted.

"SILENCE! I will not even entertain such a preposterous notion! You rebels crashed a public event, held the attendees captive and forced them to listen to your tirade against the empire, against me under threat of death! You five are sentenced to experimentation for your crimes! Sir Wolf!"

And this was the scene today as the rebel group known as the Valkyries received their Final Judgement from the High Evolutionary. A male centaur nervously said ending his report. All five of the condemned claimed that they were not who they appeared to be as they were hauled away to be punished Ziff.

Newton, it is Zed and the camera is over there. The zebra behind the anchor desk said correcting the hub reporter.

Yes right. The centaur said disorientated.

That is a bizarre story and the female rebels' claims are quite fantastic. Zed said. By the way has there been any update on the five hostages the female rebels attacked?

Yes, all are doing fine and resuming their lives including this reporter. Back to you Zed.

"I forgot their final judgement was today."

"You weren't kidding pet, you and the Consortium had an interesting opening." My she beast said studying the images from the probe.

"One of the more memorable ones thinking back. Many thought that rebel group was going to slaughter everyone in attendance. But the weird thing was despite their threats I didn't sense any danger."

"You didn't?"

"I thought that maybe it was the result of being a partial clairvoyant or something. But something did come out of it though."

"Besides another rebel faction being dismantled by the knight core pet?"

"Yes, Neal reconciled with me. It turned out that he hadn't told the other members of the Consortium my secret."

"That is good news Alex. Very good news."

"He mentioned to me that the female rebels reminded him of Alexander someone who for all intents and purposes was dead to him; he considered me a alternate to his brother." I said as a large dark sedan drove by us.

"Someone out and about past curfew? Doesn't that look suspicious?" My bear knight exclaimed.

"Let's check it out." I said powering on the prototype.

Carefully, I drove the silver coupe out of the alley where we were parked onto the street and after the slow moving sedan which appeared to be assessing each of the modest houses on the block.

"What are they doing?" I asked.

*Seeking a target.*

"More like looking for prime realestate at the expense of low pay earners on this block." My she beast commented.

What my mistress meant was that the humans who lived on this street at the south end made enough, just enough to avoid living in the basement.

That was when it happened. The occupants of the sedan pulled out some type of shoulder mounted device, aimed it at several of the homes and fired. Instantly three were set ablaze.

"Son of a bitch! I can't believe someone would be so heartless! There are families in those houses!" I shouted as the sedan slowly drove away.

We had a decision to make- take down the sedan or save the innocents whose houses were on fire.

"I am going to save the residents. Alex can you take care of this?" My bear knight said stepping out of the silver prototype.

"On it!" I said as she ran toward a single level ranch the sedan had set ablaze.

"AA contact the knight core, get my mistress some back up."

*I thought that Lady Ursa was her own back up?*

"She is generally speaking, but not this time. Also contact emergency services, get them out here now."

*Affirmative. And you?*

"I am going to make sure that whoever is doing this is caught, judged and punished." I grumbled as I sped up to catch up with the sedan.

I pressed the third button in the column of buttons on the weapons console.

*Side-pods engaged.*

(I love this part!!)

"Ok." I said looking at the weapon's menu. "Disengage holo projector and engage static pulse- that should do it."

I lined up the cross-hairs on the windshield with the back of the sedan and pressed the left toggle switch. Nothing happened.

-System Failure- illuminated the status screen.

"AA what happened?"

*Junior knight Coal burned out that system last week.*

"Why didn't he report it to Sir Ram or Mara?!"

*I think he was meaning to then just forgot.*

(UGH!)

"Ok, nonlethal, nonlethal." I said scanning through the weapon's menu. "This should do."

*Tractor hooks engaged.*

THOK!!

I fired both hooks at the bumper of the dark sedan. As they hit their mark, I slammed on the brakes.

*tug*

Desperately, the sedan tried to pull away while I threw the silver prototype into reverse trying to keep it from getting away. It was a tug of war; the target was winning.

*It would appear that hover vehicle is well built.*

"AA, how many are there in that vehicle?" I mentioned as the windows rolled down and two shoulder mounted weapons were aimed at me.

BAWOOSH!!

*I am detecting three beastials firing at us. Two boars and a hog.*

"Thank you AA." I said as I selected another item from the weapons's menu.

*Projection System engaged*

You three in the sedan! Give up now! You are our prisoners! I shouted as two of the three occupants continued to try to torch the silver coupe. The third selected another bunch of houses and set them a blaze.

(Bastards!)

"Now I am starting to lose my patience. AA engage the holo projector and surround them with something- make it the knight core!"

*Affirmative Mr. Winter*

The sudden appearance of five knights on hover bikes did nothing to stop the fire starters. They continued to pull away and now they were dragging the silver prototype with them. If they took to the sky we would be dangling like a yo-yo.

I quickly scanned the weapon's menu looking for nonlethal options as the three continued to torch the silver coupe.

BAWOOSH!!

"I have just about run out of patience with these three." I said pressing a button on the weapons' menu.

*Grenade launcher engaged*

As the grenade was fired I cut the cables and backed away from the fleeing sedan- apparently just in time.

BOOOOOOOM!!!

The sedan flipped upside down as the occupants were tossed out of it like rag dolls landing around the charred wreckage.

"Say I say! This is an OUTRAGE! OUTRAGE ! I say!" The hog said standing.

What? That you and your goons were out past curfew? That you were torching houses or that you got taken down by the knights? I said sarcastically to them.

"AA who are they?"

*Identity confirmed. That is Nick and Russell Clay and their employer Boss Hog a realestate developer.*

(Make that corrupt developer.)

I moved in as the three occupants stood up groaning.

_Well as I live and breathe! Boss hog! As I said you are our prisoners! But feel free to continue to resist- I have finished using the nonlethal weapons and moved to the lethal. _

The corrupt developer and his goons wisely dropped their weapons and raised their paws like good prisoners.

*Mr. Winter, I have an incoming communication from Lady Ursa*.

"Put it through AA."

"How are you making out pet?" My she beast appeared on the upper left monitor in the center stack.

"It took me a while to convince the targets to surrender but they did. How about you?"

"We managed to get the families out safely- we are moving on to the next set of houses. By the way pet, thank you for the assistance."

Emergency services soon arrived and quelled the six houses that were set ablaze as well as the remains and what was left of the dark sedan. Boss hog and his goons were part of conspiracy to drive human families from their homes in lower wage earning neighborhoods. The abandoned houses would then be demolished and high end housing would be built in their places.

We stayed on site until curfew ended conducting an investigation and comforting the victims. Most of the houses received minor to moderate damage, with only one being a complete loss.

"What would drive a someone to do that to their fellow citizens?!" I said as we were wrapping up.

"Greed Alex." My perfect person said placing her paw on my shoulder. "By the way good job."

"Thank you mistress." I said as I popped open the trunk and handed her a washcloth. "It is a bit harder when you don't have a copilot to engage the baddies."

"You did well, despite my absence. Breakfast?"

"That would sound divine." I responded. "Do you have any place in mind?"

"A newly opened diner not far from here my treat."

My warrior bear finished cleaning up and had me drive the silver coupe to a diner several blocks to the northwest.

Day 1032 (Morning)

"So we are here?" I said staring at the glass structure with the red roof.

"Yes pet. This is Karl Cascades' new business. His new restaurant." My she beast said as I parked the prototype.

"After his appearance on Why Are You Poor, the Consortium was able to get him the help he needed to get back up on his feet. I remember Dongo mentioning that. So he decided to open a restaurant?"

"Diner Alex. Let's go in and see how he is doing."

The diner was reminiscent of the Wild's restaurant we have frequented near the basement. Although there wasn't a bakery- just a counter, stools and booths.

As we entered we saw him the ex-rebel prisoner a tough looking black haired forty something with a rough looking face, in jeans and a apron working the counter.

"Good morning and welcome to Cascades!" The man said gleefully as we entered, but his expression soon changed. "Oh, have the knights come to check up on me?"

"Yes as has the Consortium." I said as we met him at the counter. "In an unofficial capacity."

"We heard you're cooking is criminal." Lady Ursa said cackling. "We have come to find out for ourselves."

"Welcome- have a seat... I think."

Mr. Cascade had just opened for the morning and there weren't many customers save for a panther and a leopard who were having a heated discussion over politics.

"I tell ya Tam, the master doesn't know what he is doing!" The she panther said to the leopard. "The protests, the pockets of resistance and now this curfew that has disrupted everyone's lives for the past several months. He trying to maintain the appearance that he is in control. But you want to know the said truth? He lost it a while ago."

"I disagree the master is in control and he is doing a fine job." The leopard countered. "Case in point, the empire hasn't collapsed."

"If that is so, why hasn't the curfew been lifted? There is still much unrest and you know we are now in a recession right?"

(The female beastial had her companion there.)

"That is because the humans are unhappy with their status in this (dystopian) society. If they weren't treated the way they are now and more like us all this would end." Tam countered.

"Next you are going to say you support that consortium that has been in the news lately." The female beastial said as she dined on some fish.

"You know Tem, at first I didn't but I have come over to their side; I am starting to agree with their ideals."

"You do?" The female panther said nearly choking on her meal.

"Yeah. Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a human, to live as one of them?"

"No. I can't say I have ever considered it." The she beast said. "It must be awful."

"Well I have been working on somethings that will let one side feel what it is like to be the other. Maybe it will bring first class citizens and second class citizens together rather than divide them." Tam said to Tem. "I am planning on opening a store to sell some select items." The leopard said to the panther.

"Alright settle down you too." Karl shouted as he brought Lady Ursa and I our breakfast- salmon for my bear and a stack of pancakes for me. "Your debate is disturbing the other customers."

"I wonder what type of items the leopard is talking about?" I said staring at my lady bear. "I wonder if it is something Dongo, Doria and the others could use?"

"Hmm...." Lady Ursa as she started eating.

"Well we are at the end of our shift why don't we ask?"

After we finished eating, my warrior bear decided to complement the ex-rebel on his cooking- it was indeed criminal.

Meanwhile I couldn't help but stop by the cats' table.

"Hi there, I couldn't help overhear your conversation. Has your store opened? I would like to stop by and visit Tam."

"It, it is one of them!" The she panther gasped.

"Um yes, and the proprietor of this diner is one of them as well." I countered. "You are right I am human and my partner is with the knight core." I said pointing.

"She didn't over hear me did she?"

"We both did Tem. But my partner will overlook your comments if you never speak bad of your master again- ever." I said making a dark face.

The female beastial bowed her head and did not say a further word.

"Actually my store hasn't opened yet." Tam said. "But yes, please stop by here is the address."

So on our way back to the castle, I persuaded Lady Ursa to stop by the Tam's store which was near the theater district. It was small boutique looking shop in the process of being set up- there were containers and boxes everywhere and the sign had yet to be posted.

"It is you two from the diner!" The leopard said greeting us. "Welcome!"

"I was curious about the items you were thinking about selling." I said to Tam.

"My associate is a member of the Consortium." Lady Ursa said crossing her arms.

"Are you now?" Tam said. "Well let me show what I have! Over here are fake beastial ears mostly feline and canine species he said reaching into a crate. They attach to a headband and let the owner feel what it is like to possess physical beastial attributes."

"We have used these from time to time to help out those in need." I said looking at the ears.

"If you are looking for more realism I also have collection of tails that clip on the waist." The leopard said.

"We have also used those from time to time." I said studying the additional appendages he pulled out of another crate.

"Well, moving right along- I have wigs and dyes that also help humans look more beasital like."

"Interesting." Lady Ursa said. "What's that machine over there?" My she bear said pointing to a stand that had two holes for someone to look through.

"That machine is make up for the eyes- it will temporarily turn your eyeballs into any animal you want- want to look more feline like, bam- cat's eyes. Want your eyes to look more like a equine or goat or a canine? It can do that too." Tam said excitedly.

(Is that safe?!)

"Quite an impressive machine Tam." Lady Ursa said looking it over very carefully. It would a appear that you have a very innovative idea that is quite original."

"You like that?! Come here, both of you."

My mistress and I looked at each other and then walked to where the shop owner was standing next to a covered something in the corner.

"You two ready to have your minds blown?" The leopard asked.

"Sure." I said looking at my fierce ursine warrior.

"Madam knight, could you stand behind your partner right here?"

"Where the X is on the floor?" My she beast asked.

"Yes right there."

We did as ordered.

"This is my newest device!" Tam said pulling the cover off of it.

"A mirror?" My she beast said.

"Not just any mirror." he said.

"Hey I am a beastial!" I exclaimed looking at my reflection.

"It is a trick mirror." The leopard said. If you are human it let's you appear as a beastial and if you are a beastial it let's you appear as a human.

The mirror had turned me into a black bear beasital. I had a small frame with paws, claws, snout and a tail.

"A little scrawny, but acceptable." My she beast said teasing.

"And you are the spitting image of Bertha."

It was proof that my she beast's beastial design was based on a humanoid blue print.

"Well what do you think?" Tam asked. "I think this item is going to be a big hit!"

"That is a fascinating mirror. Next you are going to tell me that you have device that let's beastials and humans.... NO!" I gasped.

"Something wrong Alex?" Lady Ursa said admiring our reflections.

"Thank you for your time this morning Tam." I said shaking the he beast's paw.

"Something wrong friend?" He asked confused.

"You reminded me of a mission I thought had been closed but isn't! I wish you nothing but success!" I shouted grabbing my mistress'paw and dashing out the store.

I didn't stop pulling her until we were inside of the silver prototype.

"Alex, pet what is wrong?" She asked me.

"Mistress, I had the most disturbing thought about the five female rebels who were judged and punished- It wasn't until we visited Tam's shop that it occurred to me."

"What did?"

"That the condemned WERE beastials. What if someone invented a device that allowed its user to swap bodies?"

"The results would be astounding pet."

"I think someone did. What if the Valkyries crashing that theater opening was staged? I mean they acted like they were conducting a conversation about inequality but were really there to select five beastials to swap bodies and lives with? What if they were tired of being second class citizens and wanted and desired more?"

That would explain why Newton Leaf seemed a bit bewildered while giving his report to Zed." My she beast concluded. "Because that was Sapphire in Netwon's body. Those five rebels are masquerading as beastials while their victims were wrongly accused, judged and punished!" My she beast gasped.

"AA contact Sir Wolf now!" I said to the automated assistant.

"Morning Lady Ursa, Alex you look quite tired, coming off shift?" A grizzled wolf said appearing on the upper left monitor.

"Good morning commander. Pleasantries aside I think the High Evolutionary made a huge mistake when he judged and punished that female rebel group yesterday." I said to Sir Wolf who nearly spilled his morning coffee.

"Explain yourself specialist." The wolf warrior said to me.

"What Alex means is that he has a theory. One you and the master are not going to like at all commander." My lady bear said.

For many years Sir Ram had tried and failed to turn humans into beastials creating soulless were-beasts instead. If my theory was true, the big horned sheep was just going about it the wrong way.

To Be Continued....
