Jonas woke up in a dimly lit, circular room. The ceiling was low, and a single window was placed into the wall on the far side. It displayed the vastness of "The Cage" as it stretched out beyond. A large silvery disk was dropped into the floor of the center of the room, and looked like it could have been some form of projector. Just behind the disk, sitting on odd-looking seats, four creatures were silhouetted. Jonas couldn't see any of their details in the poor lighting, but at the moment, he didn't really care.
He shot a glance around, looking for Viridan. He found him just two feet to his left. The low ceiling narrowing walls made him look quite large, but he was still unconscious. Thankfully, Jonas could still hear quite breathing from him. He tried to stand up, but he felt very weak, and only managed to get up to his knees before having to stop and rest. When he tried to get into a kneeling position, he failed miserably and flopped back onto his hands and knees.
"Please human, you're weak. We don't want you to strain yourself before you enter the ring." One of the creatures said, possibly the one second from the left. It seemed to have a distinguishable mouth, which moved when the voice was audible. It also had a kind of reptilian rasp to it
"Thanks for the concern." Jonas said sarcastically, and tried and failed to stand again.
"Most species would be honored to enter the arena and test their mettle. Earn their 'fifteen minutes of fame' as you humans say." Another said, maybe the one on the far right. It was definitely female, Jonas thought.
"I'm not really into the whole concept." Jonas grunted. "All I want to do is go home."
"Well, you know that the only way home is to compete in the arena." Another said. Jonas had no idea where that one had come from, but it had a heavy slur. "And we are considering letting you compete."
"Considering? Why would you bring me all the way up here if you weren't sure?" Jonas asked.
"We simply want to test you on how entertaining you'll be." The reptile voice said. "Once your friend wakes up--Ah, there he is now."
Jonas looked over and saw Viridan stumbling to his feet. Obviously whatever was weakening him wasn't as potent to the dragon.
"Ugh...What happened?" He groaned, raising his head and hitting the ceiling. He simply remained standing, with his head lowered in what looked like a bow.
"We were just about to test you on your performance for the arena." A fourth voice said. It was quite 'evil' sounding.
"Yes, we need to know what will come first for you, your freedom, or your friendship." The slurred voice said.
"What do you mean?" Viridan asked. He had a feeling that he wasn't going to like where this was heading. Jonas shared that feeling at that moment.
"It is simple. Entertain us. Penetrate the human. It's alright if you don't, if you value his companionship over a chance for freedom. It's just, you may not get another chance to get up here." The female voice said, a hint of satisfaction in her voice.
A startled look cross Jonas' face, while Viridan's expression was blank. Jonas didn't want it, not at all. He believed that they could get out another way, without having to go through the arena at all. Viridan, on the other hand, was experiencing a deep inner turmoil. The creature was right, he did value Jonas' companionship. He had never felt so content with being with another creature, except for his family, of course. No greater sense of contentment since he had arrived in the cage. But, he also knew that it was the only sure-fire way out. He also knew that he would cause Jonas no pain.
"I'll try to make it quick and easy." Viridan whispered in Jonas' ear, and stepped over him. Jonas just stared wide-eyed up at him, not wanting to believe what was happening. He was about to be raped by his only friend in this whole damn place.
"You don't need to do this." Jonas pleaded, trying not to sob, but beginning to fail at that too. He tried to crawl away, but Viridan dropped a claw lightly but firmly over his shoulder, holding him in place. Jonas turned his head and stared back in horror at the jet black cock that stood rigid before him. It moved slowly towards his ass, which was already raised due to his position. "Please, don't do this!" He sobbed.
Viridan shushed soothingly into his ear, and licked the back of his neck calmingly. At that moment, Jonas felt the dragon's tip brush his skin, and that's when the dragon really began. It went straight from a slight touch to all the way into him, and Jonas let out a ragged cry. He continued to sob as the cock slid in and out of him, with such speed and force that he didn't even feel the cock itself, only a stretching in his bowels as Viridan raped him. The dragon began to pant raggedly, and another claw fell over Jonas' other shoulder to keep him secured through the event. Viridan's breath made his hair fly forward, and stale smell of rotting meat washed over him. He felt drops of saliva drip onto his back as the dragon drooled, and finally, he felt the dragon's pre flood his ass, increasing the speed of his friend's eager thrusts.
Jonas heard a growl rising in the dragon's throat, and he knew that it was almost over. The cock inside him began to swell even more. The dragon then traded speed for power, and placed six strong thrusts into him, his genital slit almost engulfing Jonas' backside as they were crammed together. On the final thrust, Jonas felt every last inch of the dragon's massive cock slide effortlessly into him, and with a stifled roar from above him, a torrent of liquid began to flow within him. It was shot forward with so much force that it bounced and flowed up into his small intestine before falling back down. But it didn't stop, and those first few shots of sperm were pushed back up into his stomach by those that followed them. Jonas felt an uncomfortable heat in his stomach, and he watched as his belly swelled a fraction of an inch. By then, the torrent had begun to ebb, and Viridan's gasps had returned to controlled breathing. He released Jonas from his vice grip, and stepped back, his cock sliding out of the now pressurized hole. The cum that had been pumped in was now spilling out onto the floor, and Jonas couldn't help but fall to the floor with it, completely exhausted by his ordeal.
"I'm sorry." Viridan whispered, but Jonas didn't want to hear the dragon's voice right then.
"Very nice, very nice." The evil voiced creature said. "I'm glad to see that our faith in you both was rewarded. You may have a day to rest, but come tomorrow, you will be put into the ring."
Neither of them said anything as the motorized claws appeared from a newly opened hole in the ceiling. They grappled onto their weakened bodies and hauled them up and away, into an unlit shaft which confused the mind's sense of direction. After a few seconds in the confusing tunnel, the claws released them, and they plummeted a good ten feet to the dusty floor below.
They were in a long room, with high cages that went all the way up to the ceiling. These cages ran along both sides of the room, and most of them were packed with creatures of some many shapes and sizes it made Jonas' brain hurt. Though it may have been the impact with the floor that had caused most of his pain.
Both Jonas and Viridan slowly hauled themselves to their feet, though the effects of the beam were still affecting Jonas, and he only made it to the front corner, near the door, before he slumped back down against it, the metal bars like ice against his back.
"Jonas, you have to let me explain." Viridan pleaded to him. Jonas did nothing but shoot him a skeptical look. Viridan knew that he wasn't interested in anything he was going to say, but he needed to say it anyway. "This is our only way out. You didn't feel any pain while it was happening. It was the quickest way in, which means it's the fastest way out."
"But you knew that I can't stand all of these rapes." Jonas countered. "You didn't once think of me in that room, you only wanted to help yourself."
"Th-that's not true." Viridan said, stumbling a little. He had to admit that Jonas' own discomfort hadn't crossed his mind.
"This just part of your 'end justifies the means' thing. You don't care who you hurt, just so long as you get noticed. Because when you get noticed, you could maybe get out."
"He has a point you know." Another voice chimed in, this one from outside the cell. Jonas watched Viridan, while Viridan looked up at the interruption. His face froze in shock upon seeing the visitor.
"You." Was all he said in greeting.
"That's not the most polite way to greet your brother." The voice replied snidely. Upon hearing this, Jonas turned and looked up at the creature behind him. It was another dragon, very similar to Viridan but a little different. He was a little taller, a little more muscle, a bit of a longer snout, and had black scales, but other than that they were the same. The dragon grinned down at him, with a hidden sense of malice in it.
"You do remember the last human you found, don't you?" He asked, glancing back up at Viridan before returning his gaze to Jonas. "It's a tragic story, really. He raped him every morning and every night for over two hundred days before he decided it wasn't worth it anymore, and then he ate him."
"That's what you did after you stole him from me!" Viridan shouted, charging straight up to the locked door to stare his brother in the eye.
"I saved the poor creature's life." The dragon replied calmly, completely ignoring Viridan's snarling face. "I let him go in a safe little grove near me, full of fruit-bearing trees and surprisingly lacking in predators."
Viridan said nothing, simply continued to snarl and growl more than a little. The moment of near-silence lasted several long seconds.
"Well, if you'll excuse me, I have a match in about four minutes against the leading competitor. You can be sure that I'll usurp him, and that only leaves me with two more wins before I'm leaving here forever. And I'll personally make sure that you will watch the human lose first, and then you'll soon follow."
With that, the dragon turned and left, leaving Jonas and Viridan alone with each other. Viridan was terrified, of two things. One was that his brother would do exactly as he had said, and the other was that Jonas was going to hate him for as long as they were there. Because Viridan was sure that they would pit them against each other to keep them separated, and, just as Jonas had said, he had no intention of staying here longer than was absolutely necessary.
"So that's what you were talking about when I came across you." Jonas said quietly, as if to himself. "Your brother stole your fuck toy."
"Jonas, it isn't what it sounds like." Viridan said, about to lose control from all of the guilt whirling around inside him.
"Then what is it!?" Jonas shouted, his voice going ragged with anger. "Because there aren't many ways to spin that positively!"
"I...I..." Viridan stuttered.
"That's right! You!" Jonas interrupted. "It was all about you the whole time!"
He stood up and threw a punch and Viridan's face, a move which, at mid-swing, suddenly felt like a useless endeavor. But he found a soft spot on the dragon's cheek, and his fist hit it, and the dragon's head turned with the punch, giving Jonas the impression that it had been worth it. Tears of shame and regret began to well up in his eyes, and Jonas turned away from him. He shook the cage door, which gave a loud rattling noise, and attracted a nearby guard creature to him.
"I need another cage, one without him." Jonas demanded, not caring how polite he sounded to anyone at that point. The guard touched a finger-like extremity to his ear, and spoke quietly into what must have been a microphone. After waiting a moment for a response, it opened the cage for him. Jonas took a step forward, and stopped in the doorway.
"I never want to see you again." He said to Viridan, without turned his head, and then followed the guard deeper into the room, where single cage lay empty for him.
As he stepped inside and turned to watch the guard close the door, he noticed a small, disk-like device floating in the air a few feet away. A very noticeable lens was trained on his face, and he knew that that entire scene of drama had just been recorded, and probably transmitted, to a countless amount of viewers. Jonas couldn't have cared less, though, he had just wanted to get away from Viridan.
Jonas sat alone in his cage for a countless amount of time before he heard anything at all. The other cages seemed to be silenced by something, and though he could see the creature's mouths moving, no sound could be heard. His attention was being drawn to the floor the moment he did hear a sound, and it happened to be the sound of his own cage opening. He didn't look up immediately though, only sat staring at the two black-scaled feet that entered his current visual range. He knew exactly who he was sharing a cage with, and he knew it wasn't a coincidence. That, was when he decided to look up, and see the grinning face of Viridan's brother hovering above him.
"It seems I have a new house guest." He said. "These may turn out to be more interesting than I thought."
Jonas continued to say nothing.
