Twenty-one: Old Struggles

Comet Chaser was miserable, he’d heard from his children and they were still fighting the main enemy as their group were heading towards the new world with them. It would be a good long time before he got to see his babies again and it was something he actually wanted to talk to Spike about. He was thinking of how Spike might like to meet his children at last but he was cautious too, although he and Boulder seemed to have made up, there was no sign of new eggs and Boulder still didn’t like Doom. To be honest, Comet didn’t like Doom much because he was intelligent, bold and since his father had decided to go out and help rescue their group to come here, Doom had gone with him.

In truth, if Doom were his son… he’d be ridiculously proud… but he wasn’t and he wasn’t Boulder’s either. As for Boulder’s offspring, Smog had sent them off to try and take over their own planet and they were causing chaos. Apparently there’d also been a big falling out with Wildfang and she was now helping Doom along with two other beings Comet had tried to get on his side once, but they had ended up back-stabbing him and getting into trouble themselves. Wildfang was someone though that he could see potential uses for, especially because she was not afraid of their enemy who were currently squatting on the other side of the planet waiting for a chance to take over!

But with his main forces due to join up with him soon enough, as well as his beloved children and other exiled members of the former imperial family… loyal to him… Comet had been building up for something chaotic. Tyrant had recently had a run in with a volcanic eruption, he’d survived and rescued the team he’d gone exploring with, but his front leg was badly burnt and he was on strict bed rest. There was not better opportunity to try and take control than this and Comet just needed to see what side Spike would be on….

“Does he have to sit there watching? He doesn’t have to look at me like that for asking either!” Comet had gone for his yearly check with Spike; after a year at this place he had been surprised how healthy the group were and just how comfortable everyone was with the setup. Even these current health checks were running smoothly and he’d seen no one interested in rising up against Tyrant or at least supporting him... Aside from the usual sycophants of course. But now sitting here with Spike he was waiting for the chance to have a little seduction and encourage Spike to join his team for a great uprising. Except of course that Boulder hadn’t left the room yet. “I thought I’d made it rather clear before that I’m... well... shy!”

“True, but Boulder’s here to make sure nothing else is going to happen. But you know what, he should have more trust considering you saved him.” Spike stated, looking over his shoulder towards his mate and thus Boulder stepped right over to his side. Boulder nuzzled and licked at Spike’s ears and then looked towards Comet Chaser for a moment with a sharp expression. But Comet almost gave a chuckle, he’d quite forgotten how useful his previous endeavours to assist Boulder here could be. He gave a soft chuckle of amusement as Spike was kissing his mate and stroking his chest. “Honestly Boulder, Comet is our friend and has always helped look out for our kids. Besides, did he ever get between you and me before?”

“How could I? Learning of your whole relationship when you were captive, I felt awful that I couldn’t be you, Boulder. I would never have thought to interrupt Spike’s happiness and often informed Spike of how worthy a male you were... are to gain his loyalty and love. If anything, I wish I was as powerful as you and as cared for.” Comet stated, trying not to get into any kind of trouble when he knew he was likely to aggravate Boulder if he said anything else. But Spike had brought up a good point as the princeling tried to act pitiful. He had rescued Boulder and so it was only right he should bring it up again; he’d been guaranteed Boulder’s loyalty for it hadn’t he? “Besides... that little favour I asked for... I might be in need of it soon.”

“I got it... but fine, I’ll go check on Tyrant’s arm and see if he needs you after this, Spike.” Boulder stated gently, looking towards Spike with a loving expression before nuzzling him lovingly. Spike held his mate’s cheeks gently as he was turned towards his mate and their lips came together in a soft kiss. With that made, Boulder then gave a soft vent of relief before turning and then leaving the room as Spike waved his paw after his mate. Comet Chaser watched with a scowl of frustration and then returned back to Spike as the red dragon called out after his mate.

“Good idea darling.” With that done, Spike turned back around to Comet Chaser an amusing expression with a pleasant grin. He then turned to look towards Comet with a firm expression as the dragon was looking rather proud of himself for the time being. “Now then... we’ve got to do the usual sample collection.”

Boulder padded out into the hall and then across to another set of doors further down that needed a paw print to open. He sat himself down, lifting his front paw up and pressed it against it, hearing the click and seeing the green light blink. There was a pleasant sound of the doors opening and Boulder stepped in, only to be giving a sudden spray of antiseptic as he gave a grunt of frustration. Upon the medical berth not far from him, a huge dark purple almost black massive shifted and only the violent pink skin upon his arms showed his damage and Tyrant rolled onto his belly. He gave a soft vent of fascination, looking towards them with intrigued as Boulder then bowed to him.

“Master Tyrant... how’s your arm feeling?” Boulder questioned gently, looking towards Tyrant with a nervous expression upon his face. He was feeling incredibly uncomfortable with himself, feeling party to something foolish and unable to do anything about it. Comet Chaser had made him agree to protect him, to stand beside him against Tyrant… but he hadn’t been incredibly detailed on what was to happen. He hadn’t said anything about what Boulder was supposed to do… and not to do. Tyrant was looking to him thoughtfully, his eyes narrowing and his expression intrigued.

“Better... but I have a feeling I should remain showing weakness. Its in such a state I can draw out all those who think they can destroy me and crush them thoroughly.” Tyrant stated, stretching his arm out and twitching his toes. He was smirking thoughtfully because it was quite clear that he was already expecting what was to happen. Tyrant had been a fighter and a powerful beast long enough to know that things never got easier, the older you got the more you were under threat. He would pretend to be weaker because it was the easiest way to catch out his enemies, yet he was intrigued by the sour expression upon Boulder’s face. “Something on your mind?”

“I made a promise to stand beside someone should they need it... but I’ve got a feeling they’ll want me to turn against you. I figured I could still feign loyalty to them and fulfil the promise if I tell you up front.” Boulder stated, lowering himself down onto the ground in a display of humility. He knew damn well that Tyrant might just bite his head off here and now to prevent him being on Comet’s side and he would accept it. The only thing he couldn’t do was accept that Spike got any kind of danger from it and carefully, he gave a soft grimace and a whimper towards him. “I don’t want Spike to be in trouble.”

“Spike is a faithful medic and I’ve put your relationship into trouble before with the matter of Deathwing. I will not harm Spike and I will not harm you, after-all you’ve been honest to me and if you really wanted to be on Comet’s side you would not have felt much guilt. I also understand Comet’s actions; he’s got family arriving and he wants to be powerful and strong for them. I’ll give him a beating and exile him… your obedience to him has been to spare his life.” Tyrant stated with a loud growl of frustration before then settling back down. Boulder bowed himself towards them and then gathered to soothing cream to tidy him up.

“You know… you two have been rather active for the past year… but there no sign of offspring… do you really think that you’re… you’re unable to produce anymore?” Comet Chaser questioned as Spike collected up his tube to collect the sample and made no attempt to answer him. Comet pouted, irritated that he was being ignored like this and certainly, he was annoyed that Spike was not going to answer him. However, with a soft snort he then stretched his body out, spreading his legs and giving a soft sigh of pleasure as he lay back and brought a hand to his vent. He stroked up gently as his spike slid out and he began to stroke it up steadily, looking towards Spike lovingly. “Doesn’t stop you from being the most beautiful dragon around.”

“You know Comet… its hard these to tell if you’re talking out of your cloaca when you say stuff like that or if its coming from your heart… mainly cause they both stink.” Spike stated firmly, making it obvious that he did not want anything to happen that would affect the way he would be happy with Boulder. He was already sensing that something was up with Comet and he was clearly planning something, but Comet was stunned. He gave a gasp of disbelief, looking towards him with an expression that screamed total innocence and Spike gave a scowl. “Comet… as adorable as you can be… I think you’re just trying to stop me and Boulder being happy. We’ve been through so much, I’ve finally gotten him back to who he was before, he’s even starting to consider how unfair he’s been to Doom this time. I don’t need anything messing it up when we’re still healing.”

“Uh… aah… I see…” Comet Chaser began, grimacing slightly in anxiety as he looked towards Spike with an almost pitiful expression. He could see what Spike meant, but at the same time he thought they had something. He always thought they had something going on between them and well, he had wanted to get him before but he’d been too scared to Deathwing. He gave a soft vent of frustration and then turned around to roll on his belly and press towards Spike, his muzzle to Spike’s shoulder. He nuzzled him gently as Spike gave a groan and Comet gave a soft whimper. “But… I… I still care about you a lot… you’re still the most pleasant company there is on this ship… I adore you.”

“Because I produced tow youngsters to you, took your virginity and made it obvious that I was going to cope with all of your complaints and sulks over the years.” Spike growled, but then pushed a paw to Comet’s chest, pushing him down and then stepping to the end whilst Comet pouted once more. Yeah, he had a feeling that Spike was going to be like this about him but he had another ace in the hole as Spike then stretched his legs apart and then carefully brought the cup into position and held onto his cock as Comet gave a soft sound and Spike sighed. “I didn’t mean to be rude, I just… Boulder’s getting better and I can’t afford him slipping back for any reason. I need him… I always have and he needs me.”

“He always needs you more than you need him… but I understand and I was being… pushy. It’s not my intention… but I was just… urgh… my two… our two children are going to come and visit and I was hoping you’d want to meet them. Starfall and Thunderhead were rather curious about the thought of meeting you at last. I was hoping you would want to meet them, but I do know that Boulder will probably not be happy about you seeing them and well, I thought we could arrange something.” Comet began, making it obvious that he could offer something as he was looking towards Spike with a fluttering of his eyelids and a pleasant expression. Spike turned to look at him for a moment in surprise, almost wanting to blush and then grasping hold of Comet’s cock and then getting on with it as Comet groaned. “Oh… oh… my dear doctor… how is it you’re so good at this?”

Spike tried not to make a note of it, tried not to respond but just hummed as his soft paws gently stroked up and down the length. He felt it thicken and swell in his paws, adjusted its position so that the sensitive flesh was not going to be pinched by the bowl. It was always amazing how much information could be gained form such ejaculate amongst their species but he could certainly tell a lot about Comet’s health for it. However, Spike normally just dealt with this all as something simple and easy to manage and handle, when he realised that Comet was looking at him with that desperate expression that said he wanted more. Spike’s ears pinned back and turned to look at him with a sharp expression.

“Comet… I adore talking with you, you’re my treasured friend and I care… but I really do not like the way you’re looking at me. I don’t need another being in my life… I have Boulder and I’ll stay with Boulder until one of us dies.” Spike stated firmly, although he didn’t want to say that really, he’d already thought Boulder had died before and he didn’t want to jinx it again. He also knew that adding a third into the relationship would no doubt frustrate Boulder completely although Spike still had to comment about it. “Of course… maybe whatever this ‘owed’ thing is, you can switch it for being our third if you like. Then you might enjoy what Boulder can do too…”

“I hardly think I’ll be intrigued by him… although maybe watching him work on you… but no… this is something far more important than simple affairs of the heart. But I’m pleased you count me as a treasured friend… I would never want you to hate me… Spike.” Comet Chaser purred and it startled him greatly to hear the words coming out of his mouth. Most of the time he was only out for himself but several times over Spike and his family had sort of snuck in and made him a little… different. But he gave a groan as his hips began to push and he closed his eyes, lounging back and taking steady breaths. Oh, how he wanted it to be inside Spike’s perfect pussy, stretching him open and soaking inside that cavern of wondrous pleasure. He wanted his cock inside Spike and he wanted Spike moaning and groaning in delight as he worked him…. He wanted Spike’s pussy on his lips too, would even let Spike lick and explore his vent… but only for Spike!

As the red dragon squeezed and pumped their paw along the thick length, Comet began to moan out more pleasantly as he felt himself being taken away by the pressure and the grip. It was not as beautiful as when he was inside Spike’s body, but the tightness was making him throb and the pressure was building. He was panting desperately, his hips rocking upwards and his tongue starting to probe out of his mouth. He moaned and sighed happily, desperately and then suddenly, Spike gave a sharp gasp as the door pushed open and suddenly, Comet came into Spike’s face.

“Urgh… well… I thought you said you didn’t want…” Comet groaned, he’d heard the sudden gasp and he could see the glistening fluid upon the red dragon’s face… but then he heard the hefty snort of an angry bull. Comet Chaser lay back carefully as Spike managed to scrape the item into the vial and then suddenly cantered to the other side of the room. Comet turned his head very slowly and noticed the huge black dragon filling up the doorway. He was staring in anxiety for a moment, trying to enjoy cumming on Spike’s face but also trying to get sobered up so he could handle whatever was about to happen. Spike was the one to give a firm bark of warning, however.

“Master… you were interrupting a standard procedure… there had better be a good reason for bursting in here like that and opening up the scabs! Honestly I’m going to have to sew those scales back into position now!” Spike’s concerned were always aimed at the aesthetic and Tyrant almost laughed to hear him standing up against him. But he locked his huge eyes onto Comet as he carefully slid himself off the bench with an anxious expression. He had a bad feeling and was confused; he knew that Boulder had gone to check him over… so what had happened?

“I got a sudden thought in my head that with you family and supporters on their way and my body in a bad state… your conniving mind might be trying to use this chance to undermine my authority. Well, I'm sorry Comet but there’s only one leader here!” Tyrant roared angrily and before Comet Chaser had a chance to escape, he was grabbed by the ankle and swung into the wall. Spike gave a bleat of shock but Tyrant roared at him, insisting he back off. Spike though bolted out of the room, thinking to go and get Boulder to try and help whilst Comet Chaser darted under the table to avoid an attack and then Tyrant threw the bed over.

“You’re making a mistake… I’m not doing anything wrong… I was just inviting my followers to become your followers!” Comet Chaser began, but was Tyrant’s head snapped in front of his, he suddenly punched his hindlegs up to Tyrant’s shoulder. He swung his body into him, knocking him enough to roll and dart out from Tyrant throwing his body forward. Tyrant tripped and landed on his front with a growl and then Comet bolted down the hall and Tyrant followed. He hurried on his huge, powerful feet, galloping and storming on after Comet Chaser that was bolting as fast as he could to get out of the compound.

“Boulder! Boulder! He’ll kill him… we can’t let him do that… the others will turn on him!” Spike insisted, grasping hold of his mate and trying to pull him out into the hall to try and rescue Comet Chaser. However, Boulder was sitting down firmly and unwilling to get up or do anything more than sit… Spike pushed him and was trying to get him to move and help out, but Boulder would not. Spike was confused and pushed at him more. “He saved your life; won’t you save him?”

“I am saving his life… Tyrant won’t kill him… because I told him he might be up to it. This is safer Spike… Comet always acts weird around you anyway.” Boulder insisted and Spike was conflicted, Comet Chaser was sent away and with it, the chance to meet his babies!
