Dealing with the Dead on Tiki Island
Dealing with the Dead on Tiki Island
A bone white moon shines over Bloody Bay where the island on which the Hacienda Pirata or the House of the Red Moon as it's officially known by the crew of the privateer zeppelin Storm Cloud and Red Moon House to the Inquisition is situated upon. Zombified goblins, bugaboos, orcs and hobgoblins walk, shuffle really, out onto the beach from the sea with cutlasses, axes and clubs. They are one thousand strong, an army of dead sailors back from the grave to wreak havoc on the pirates that sunk their ships. The Storm Cloud and her crew are one such group of pirates who are now privateers of the nation of Sehtaysheeah but their empire is on their list of targets so the Horde of the Hobgoblin Empire they are still pirates.
Zombies also attack the fortress Cathedral of Saint Thomas so there only about two hundred zombies assaulting the House of the Red Moon while about five hundred invade the Cathedral. The other three hundred wants the whole of Tiki Island looking for pirates to kill. In a café a wolf-bear in black chain mail with red leather joints, red leather belt, boots and glove-gauntlets sits at a table with a native clouded leopard girl in a grass skirt and nothing else are eating fish and poi and watching the zombies shuffle into town.
Captain Kodyax von Fenryx, the lupursyn pirate by the crimson octopus on his chain mail jacket the hue of the midnight sky rises and draws a huge chisel shaped sword that even he needs both hands to properly control as he glares at his enemies approaching. The wind blows through his black fur and red hair as steely gray eyes stare grimly at the approaching Horde as his feline companion flees for her life. The Captain is not the pirate at the café as members of his crew, Kody commands the Storm Cloud, are also in attendance and as their Captain stands and draws steel so his crew stands with him; loyal to their master and with the approaching horde of walking dead the duty of every scoundrel of fur is clear: They must defend their home from this invasion of the dead.
Pierre Pasteur, an alchemist of great skill and grenadier extraordinaire as well as an honorable skunk quickly preps a bomb to throw. Sahara Sirocco, a cheetah lady in Arabian corsair garb draws twin scimitars to stand by her captain's left side. Morgana von Fenryx, a green vixen witch grips her staff to stand at her husband's right side.
Jingo Chan, a Sumatran tigress dressed like a Chinese knight takes up twin hook swords and joins her captain. All four Stooge brothers, piratical otters all bring a set of Chinese halberd to bear as the rest of the crew is armed with cutlasses and boarding axes. There are about a hundred pirates in total at the café so the undead think they have the advantage of numbers.
Kodyax grips the handle of his zanbato tightly before letting out a mighty howl before he rushes forth to slice off the head of a zombie bugaboo. The Captain's charge energizes his crew and they join him as one. A former Hobgoblin Empire Commodore pauses as the pirates decimate the first third of their number in less than the span of a single heartbeat. It considers retreat but it recognizes Kodyax as the creature that killed it to begin with and the desire for vengeance takes over.
"Kodyax!" Commodore Palin cries. "My time of retribution is at hand! You'll no escape my blade this time!"
"Commodore Palin!" Kodyax growls with dark delight. "Fate is so kind tome this eve! I have the pleasure of killing you again! For what you did to pirates and merchants of my kind killing you a thousand times would only be justice!"
"By the will of Orcus!" The Commodore cries. "Your kind exist only to serve the glory of his chosen people!"
"I'm starting to get sick of the rhetoric as well," Kodyax grumbles as his zanbato is blocked by the Commodore's saber. "Still counting on your fencicng skill to save you I see. I can fix that." He then proceeds to chop off the Commodore's sword arm.
"My arm!" The Commodore screams sixty-four times. "You Beast! You chopped off my arm!"
:"Now to finish you off!" Kodyax yells as he bisects the Commodore lengthwise with a mighty blow.
Upon the destruction of the Commodore the other zombies fall down and turn back to lifeless corpses. This confuses the pirates who then proceed to loot the bodies and find little of any value. As one they position themselves to piss on the dead they just defeated and go home.
Red Moon House is still under siege when the pirates who were out on the town return home. The zombies may be relentless but their tactics are uninspired to say the least. Kodyax and company laugh as they watch zombies walk up on shore, enter the bamboo covered bridge that leads to the house only to drop through the trap doors only to repeat their plan of attack with the same results.
The retinue of undead largely ignores the incoming pirates as they are intent on raising Red Moon House but that changes when Captain von Fenryx orders the attack. Surprise is actually on the side of the pirates as they attack the zombies emerging from the water and already stumbling on their feet. Horde troops already eaten by sharks and other marine predators in the bay are not affected; at least not yet as the traps are manned for maximum effectiveness.
Unlike in town there is no commanding zombie lord directing the rest so Kodyax and crew slaughter all two hundred and leave their bodies for the scavenger crabs and carrion birds that occasionally gather. Inside Red Moon House, Morgana gets to work performing divination rituals to figure out just what is going on as Pierre and his sister, Barbarella check the mechanisms to see what repairs might be needed and the Stooge brothers go swimming in the bay. Jingo and Sahara were each hoping for some time with the Captain but end up being disappointed as he aids Morgana.
Both Kodyax and Morgana are of the same faith so they can combine their mystic abilities to greater effect. In a shallow pool they scry as one seeing the skull pearl glowing a toxic green on the sea floor. They also see the Stooge Brothers net the huge pearl in the shape of a tyrannosaurus skull and in much the same proportions as it would have been the skull of that monstrous animal stripped of flesh.
Morgana goes over her tomes to devise a necromantic ritual to deactivate the skull as Kodyax gets a rather unfriendly from the Viscount Torquemada de Sade accusing them of having something to do with the current situation.
"What did you do?" The big and bigoted blue bull demands to know as his holographic image projects from a crystal ball.
"Hasn't the reports filtered back to the Cathedral yet?" Kody growls. "The town we regularly visit of r fun and Red Moon House were attacked."
"Back fired on you did it?" de Sade inquires with a self satisfied smirk on his muzzle. "We're a little overwhelmed here..."
"We already took down five hundred of the nasties, de Sade," Kody counters with a smirk of his own. "How many did you start out with?"
"Don't patronize me, Captain Fenryx!" Torquemada snarls. "We were swamped with that many to begin with!"
"How many do you have left?" Kodyax asks in a patronizing tone of voice and a smirk of superiority on his muzzle.
Four hundred," Torquemada admits, "Our Holy Hammers aren't doing much against them."
"You're using blunt weapons!?!" Kodyax asks incredulously. "If we're both dealing with the same problem, then I would hope you know blunt and piercing weapons don't bite as much as slashers on zombies!"
"Edged weapons are forbidden to us by Holy Oaths," Torquemada admits grudgingly. "We are trying to use the power of faith but there's just so many of them!"
"We have something here that could be promising," Kodyax dares to say in speculation as the otters haul their treasure into the vault proudly behind him, "But I can't make any promises."
"What are you playing at?" Torquemada demands to know.
"If this works, you'll see," Kodyax says cautiously; and then to the otters: "We can't sell that but hang it up none the less. Morgana is looking into what it is."
"Right, Cap'n! Moe yells proudly. "Let's go, numbskulls, heave it up so the witch can get a good look at this thing!"
Right, Moe!" Larry says with a salute.
"Soitenly!" Karl cries.
"Not too far, boys," Morgana says as she comes in, cradling a book in her arms. "Now let's see..."
All four otters look to their boss for guidance and he just nods at them as they lift the huge skull a foot off the floor with a system of pulleys already in place. Morgana compares the skull to a diagram in her book as it occasionally pulses a sickly green. She is hemming and hawing as she goes over the skull shaped pearl and when finished her expression is not good.
"It's an artifact of sorts made by the demon god Orcus," Morgana states matter of factly. "It's purpose is to resurrect goblinoids as undead to slaughter enemies of the Empire."
"Wonderful," Kodyax says in exasperated sarcasm. "How can we destroy it if we can do that."
"We can't," Morgana states, "but if even a single undead goblinoid strikes the skull it will shatter."
"But," Moe protests, "That will make the skull worthless! We couldn't even sell it to those damn Krakatoa!"
"We can't keep chopping zombies!" Kodyax snaps back. "Could we stuff this sucker into Tsathoggua?"
"Where are you thinking of sending it?" Morgana asks.
"The Cathedral of course!" Kody stats with a smirk. "They're crawling with the stinking dead now. Plus, if they use their holy hammers hard enough..."
"I hadn't thought of that," Morgana admits, "even if they can't destroy it, they'll draw the dead to them or figure out some way to suppress its magic."
Everyone shares an evil grin before the otters stuff the skull into the mouth of a titanic mortar muzzle first. The mortar is carved to resemble a huge frog and its name refers to a dark frog god that the pirates appease by feeding its avatar goblins until it slips into a food coma, repeating as necessary to keep it sleeping. All of which they keep secret from the Inquisition lest they be accused of being cultists.
Pierre makes the necessary adjustments to send the skull into the courtyard of the cathedral. It lands on a pile of goblins who shove it aside. A bugaboo zombie lifts it up and uses it club some goats as a quintet of rams shoot blessed bolts at the bugaboo zombie holding the pear skull.
The bolts bounce off the skull as the bugaboo zombie holding it uses it as a shield. All of a sudden Torquemada gets a brain storm and grabs a holy artifact from the vault of the cathedral. He returns to his parapet about half and hour with a package wrapped in white paper upon which is written scripture of the Judge's holy book.
With great reverence he unwraps what is revealed to be a white pine box with hinges, filigree and locks of solid gold. Torquemada uses his key to open the box in which a silver ball with bands of gold and a cross on top sits on a bed of red satin. He takes it out with both hands and whispers a prayer as he pulls the cross out of the ball and throws the Holy Hand Grenade of Assorya at the zombies in the courtyard.
A column of pure white light shines down from Heaven on the spot where the grenade landed and seconds later a brilliant flash of light erupts from the artifact as positive energy fans out in a fifty foot circle with the grenade as its center. Zombies within the circle instantly become piles of ash as the zombie with the skull of Orcus advances on the Holy Artifact. It gets within striking distance and smashes the orb with the skull it's holding.
There is another flash of light as the Holy and Unholy artifacts cancel each other and the all the zombies fall lifeless. Standing on his parapet, Torquemada is royally pissed off that he lost such an artifact of his faith. Watching from the Hacienda, the pirates are shocked that it actually worked.
"FENRYX!!!!" Torquemada screams at Captain von Fenryx from a crystal ball.
"I'm here, Torquemada," Kody counters calmly, "Congratulations on destroying a Power Skull of Orcus."
"That was an artifact of Orcus?" Torquemada asks incredulously.
"Yeah, Morgana says. "The Stooge Brothers found it and we knew we couldn't do much with it and so we sent it to you hoping it would get destroyed."
"Well," Torquemada says as he stands there flabbergasted, "This is acceptable actually. A question though: Was the skull a focal point for the undead invaders?"
"More or less," Morgana answers, "I'm not sure how it got here in the first place. I know the Horde had a refueling station here."
"We took it over for our needs," Kody admits. "We rededicated the temple of the dread lord to the worship of nature."
"We took over something similar for the Cathedral actually," Torquemada admits.
"Are the dead ash on your end?" Kodyax asks. "We're burning the corpses now."
"The Holy Hand Grenade of Assorya took care of that." Torquemada beams proudly.
"Is that what that light was?" Morgana asks to which Torquemada just nods. "It worked; I guess that's all we can ask for."
Dark clouds in the shapes of animal skulls start to gather over the Hacienda Pirata as the winds start to pick up and scatter the ashes of the undead goblins. It starts to rain a sickly yellow fluid on the island that infects those if drenches with a wasting disease. Every one of the pirates retreats inside to escape the rain and get treated by their Captain and Morgana who use nature magic to save the ill and the dying.
Green lightning strikes the walls of the House of the Red Moon and might have been damaging to the structure if precautions for this sort of attack had not already been made during its construction. Using Shinto and Nordic rites they grounded the metal and wooden walls as well as the stone foundations so the sickly green lightning does nothing more than put on a frightening light show that also serves to endanger the health of Red Moon House's residents as the smell it leaves can be quite sickening as well which indicates this is no normal lightning. It doesn't take long for the Captain at least to realize this storm is anything but natural as he and Morgana research what it could be.
Sahara brings Kody some compy steaks liberally basted with terriyaki sauce as he is ready for a break. In fact while he takes his break Morgana is still studying charts and can't be bothered to come away. The kitty sense an opening for herself and decides to take it as she rubs his groin with her hands as she rubs her groin on his leg with a suggestive smile on her muzzle.
Kodyax is actually pent up from the situation so he needs the release Sahara is offering. He takes off her top so he can have access to her breasts which she is only too happy to grant him. She puts her hands down his pants to plat with his cannon and balls and ends up taking off his pants.
The cheetah makes way for the wolf-bear's invasion into her box without disturbing her Captain's fun which grants her much pleasure. Along with preparing herself she fondles and squeezes him to coax his cock from its sheath. Ordinarily she would be doing this with her mouth but with his muzzle at her rack this isn't exactly an option.
Licking and suckling at the tit of a willing female excites Kodyax sexually so all Sahara is really doing is hurrying matters along. AS his canine cock comes out to play Sahara gives him a hand job to get him hard enough to penetrate her folds. When at last he is firm enough to fuck her, Sahara does interrupt him briefly so she can impale herself along his length.
Sahara clenches and unclenches her inner walls around his invading member to caress it and get him harder as he goes back to attending her tits with his mouth. Both of them are moaning in pleasure when she starts bouncing herself up and down his cock to send it deeper within her. His knot eventually seals his prick in her pussy as Sahara smirks at her Captain Kodyax.
Morgana walks in on their shared climax and giggles as she wants to be noticed by what is essentially her husband although it has been long established by certain females among the crew that they essentially form a harem for Kodyax.
"Hi, Morgana," Sahara says with a guilty grin "How long have you been there?"
"Not long," Morgana admits with a smirk. "Did you have a good ride?"
"Taking a break, love?" Kodyax asks.
"I am and I'm not," Morgana admits honestly. "I think I figured out what we're dealing with: a Mondoom.
"Aren't those associated with Orcus?" Kodyax inquires with some conern.
"Yeah, I'm getting the disturbing notion that he's looking at us and getting rather pissed off," Morgana states, "But thi is the best he can do honestly. We drove off all the Horde elements from the island years ago."
"What can we do to get rid of the thing?: Sahara asks. "The next time we go raiding those plague clouds will more than likely follow us around and make us too sick to fight."
:"Oh, I have a ritual to disperse the cloud," Morgana says honestly, "But we need to perform an orgy as part of the ceremony." She gets a weird look from the cheetah. "Orcus is a god of death, pain, tyranny, suffering and the undead. Part and parcel of that and what her really hates and fears includes life, the enjoyment of it and the making of new life." She looks at Kodyax. "I'm going to need to be impregnated again."
"So soon after our son was born?" Kody asks. "He's only three years old and we're going to have to make him a sister or brother?"
"He's almost ready to be weaned hun," Morgana explains. "I know it's soon but the longer we wait the harder it will be. And personally I want our next to be a daughter but that's just me."
"How many participants will we need?" Kody asks.
"At least five couplings; only one of which needs to produce children," Morgana responds with a smirk. "Which means I finally get a turn."
"Who do you plan on doing me?" Sahara asks with a frown.
"Honestly, I don't care," Morgana snaps back. "Fuck one of the Stooge Brothers, fuck two of them."
"I'd rather fuck Brutus," Sahara growls.
"That's not a bad idea," Kody states. "He's been idle since we got here."
"So we need five females and five males," Morgana reasons, "Me, you, Sahara, Jingo, Barbarella, her brother Pierre, Kody, Brutus, we could recruit some of the local otter girls for the Stooge brothers..."
Recruiting otter girls turns out to be easier than anticipated as a quartet of girls studying to become Kahunas are only too eager to participate in the ritual to dissipate the evil storm raging on the island. Brutus, an alligator barbarian who joined after being exiled from his tribe over an argument over mates, is only too happy to participate, a fact that causes both cats to smirk as they also pull Alphonse Tesla, a badger that helps out Pierre from time to time into helping with the festivities. Morgana and the kahunas in training clear and prepare the space for the sexual ritual as the Mondoom intensifies its efforts as if it can sense what is going on.
Other members of the crew monitor things as the participants enter the sanctified space. The former temple of Orcus was chosen for the spot to conduct their ritual for no other reason than it will be noticed by the dark god Orcus even more and thus the result will be intensified and more effective. Yellow rain splashes the clear windows with greater intensity as the two genders mix and get frisky with one another as those with the proper training begin to intone the chants needed to sanctify the carnality and convert the sexual energy into the power needed to dissipate the sickly green clouds displaying skulls within.
Morgana lays on the altar and has Kodyax eat her out as she licks and sucks on his scrotum as part of the beginnings of the ritual orgy. The Stooge brothers need no encouragement as the Kahunas are very attractive and willing to fuck the pirate brothers. Pierre and Alphonse play with the cats as Brutus gets his sack worshipped by the lady skunk.
Candles burn all over the room as well as having incense fills the air to lend a sense of spirituality to the carnality beginning to copulate in the chamber. Spirits of nature rise from the censers to bang gongs and drums as well as filling wind instruments with their presence as music from phantom musicians fill the room. A few of the participants are momentarily disturbed by the poltergeist activity happening all around them but the Captain, the ship's witch and the Kahunas don't seem to even notice which causes the others to just shrug and do their best to ignore what is going on around them and keep on fucking.
All the spell casters present can feel the primal power rise around them as they lend their lust to the overall ritual. The alchemists actually feel semi-empowered and redouble their efforts to pleasure their activity partners as the Kahuna girls break into a chanting song which the pirate brothers pick up on and join in to impress the ladies and keep themselves going as long as thy can. Kodyax gets hard enough to penetrate Morgana's folds at this point and does just that as he knows this is what is required and after establishing a routine of thrusting and fading without ever truly egressing he and she join in the chanting.
Everyone else is too busy moaning in pleasure to join the chant but even their vocalizations seem to add to the power the ritual gathers. Outside the Mondoom rages furiously as the energy being gathered is starting to counteract its effort with pleasure power providing primal protection against its plague powers as others in the for feel the urge to merge with even those in the infirmary masturbating to alleviate the stress and pain they are experiencing. Good feelings about despite the efforts of a powerful instrument of the will of the dark god Orcus.
In the bowels of Hell, Orcus howls and gnashes his teeth in rage; screams of hate that can be heard plainly on the mortal plane as the Mondoom starts to dissipate. Morgana releases the power gathered in a final strike against the elemental beast of plague that ends up obliterating it as Kodyax howls his climax in defiance of Orcus. The other males soon follow suit as collectively the pirates give the patron god of the Hobgoblin Empire the middle finger salute of ultimate defiance as an image of nature itself moons Orcus in his own infernal court as he monitors the situation.
Orcus sends visions and portents to of his will to priests and oracles within the Empire: War is to be declared on the Kingdoms of Sehtaysheeah and especially on her privateers. On Tiki Island the Stooge brothers, Kodyax and Morgana are honored guests for the ceremony elevating the otters that participated in the ceremony that sundered the Mondoom to the next level on their path to becoming true and veteran Kahunas. Morgana and the girls are pregnant as a result of the ceremony and Morgana receives good news: her unborn child is female.
