"Wow Ennica. You really are the perfect mate for me."
I blushed and felt my face burn at Echelon's comment. "Really? Why?"
"Well, you're not overly romantic, you're part of The Order, you and I have been friends before and you can take care of yourself. What else can I ask for?" He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek.
We were sitting on the beach with our towels laid out, waiting for Sunset and Lacyus to come down from their games in the sky. The two had dropped off their stuff and were now playing some type of tag among the clouds, laughing and roughhousing with each other. Echelon sighed and looked up at them.
"Sometimes I can't help but envy those who can fly at will."
"Yeah. It would be great to just have wings and just take off."
I snuggled up to Echelon as much as I could, resting my head on his shoulder. He gently picked me up and set me in his lap.
"You look really cu-"
"IIIINNNNCCCOOMMIIINGGG!!!" Nearby Xenos scattered at the sight of two giddy dragons coming down from the clouds.
Lacyus simply used leftover energy from his wings to bleed of speed and touch down as if he never left the ground. Sunset was a different story. Her wings were so big that, no matter how gently she redirected her thrust, she kicked up a huge amount of turbulence, spraying sand and dust in every direction.
My heart skipped a beat though when Echelon threw me underneath himself and used his own two hands to shield my eyes. Even though, my whole body was showered with sand. As the turbulence ended, I gently pried Echelon's hands off my eyes. To my surprise, he was tearing up a bit.
"Echelon? You okay?"
"Yeah.... Sand in my eyes though..."
"Here." I stood up and took his hand, leading him to the water. He washed his eyes out.
"Thanks." He kissed me on the cheek. "Now for you to wash out your fur."
"What do you-WAAAUUUGGGHHH!!!" Before I could react, Echelon threw me into the water. It wasn't that I didn't like the water. I just didn't like be surprised.
I surfaced and laughed and smiled. "You jerk!" I snapped my leg out and grabbed his ankle with my foot. Echelon yelped in surprise as I put my hybrid attributes to good use and flung him over my head.

"They're a lot like we were." Sunset murmured, nuzzling me affectionately.
"Yeah." I licked her gently. "But if we're even going to think about having lunch, we need to get to catching it."
"Okay, but I thought we need to go out deeper to catch crab."
"You're right. And that's why I brought you this."
I took Sunset's gift and pulled the cloth off. Underneath of it was a surfboard.
"Oh wow!" Sunset gasped and hugged me tightly. "Is it for me?"
"Yes."
She hugged me even tighter and kissed me, flicking her tongue inside of my mouth. "Thank you Lacyus."
"I haven't finished painting on the patterns yet, but I've got the first varnish layers down."
She stepped back. "I think should use just yours for this."
"Errr... Okay, but how are two dragons going to fit on one board?"
She took my surfboard and put it down in the water with the crab traps, already baited, attached to a clip underneath. "Lay down."
I did, and after a second, I felt Sunset lay down on top of me, pressing her whole body against mine. She ended up with her with her head level with mine. "Do you want to paddle alone, or should I help?"
"No, I'll be fine."
Sunset looked forward as I paddled along and for a moment, I realized something very cute. Sunset's eyes were not just golden yellow, but actually had a bit of metallic sparkle to them. At the right angle, I could see the sunlight flash across them, revealing bits of metallic glitter in her iris. Sunset noticed and gave me a curious frown.
"Whacha looking at?"
"Your eyes."
Sunset blushed furiously. "R-really?"
"Yeah. They're beautiful."
The only problem with Sunset's white scales was that they extremely accentuated a blush. Her face was almost completely red with embarrassment. "They are?"
"They seem to glow."
"Th-than-ks." She stammered.
"You don't take compliments that well Sunset." I gave an amused smile and licked her. We reached the crab fishing depth. "Okay, let's get started. You're gonna need to let me get out from under you."
"Right." Sunset propped herself up and I slid out into the water and, using my element shift ability, changed from a Helldragon to a Water/Shadowdragon. My burgundy scales turned into a very dark sea blue.
"So just start paddling, and I'll unhook the traps."

(Ennica)
After our little battle in the water, I had to see Echelon off. I had left my bikini on at Echelon's insistence, and borrowed one of Sunset's sarongs. Speaking of them, the two were cuddling in Lacyus' hammock. But, back to the moment.
Echelon smiled as he wheeled his back down the street. "You look so sexy like that."
I blushed. "You know, I'm not used to all of these compliments."
"So maybe I should treat you more like a soldier?"
I took his hand. "Hey, I still am just a girl."
He kissed me on the cheek. "Yes, and a very cute one." He blushed suddenly and for some reason, in my mind, I knew what he was thinking. It was as if there was some unseen link between our minds.
"Well, I am a virgin still." Suddenly I realized what I just said and gave an embarrassed squeak and covered my mouth.
Echelon was worse off, since I figured out what he said. "You-How-But!?!?!"
And then he whispered something. But it seemed to permeate even my mind.
"Lucky guess."
"Pardon?"
Echelon blushed. "I never said anything."
"But I heard 'luck guess' so clearly!"
Echelon gasped. He took both of my hands. "Ennica. Close your eyes and clear your mind."
"Okay."
I closed my eyes and for a moment, nothing happened. Then, something started seeping into my mind. A warm, loving presence. Immediately, my soldier's training kicked in and I concentrated on pushing it out. But the more I fought it, the more I wanted to show it my love. As soon as it would grab my mind, I would slap it and push it back more. Eventually, whenever I slapped it away, I would also try to grab it. Eventually, I stopped fighting and I suddenly felt Echelon and me kissing.
*It's me Ennica.*
*Echelon? You're in my mind?*
*Yes.*

(Echelon)
For a moment there, I truly felt in love with Ennica.
As we broke our kiss, she pulled back and became that shy girl that I had originally sent the love letter to. She just simply smiled and took my hand as we continued walking. Ennica was obviously shaken by our link. I could feel her pushing it away still but less vigorously. It was as if she wanted to be connected, but she didn't like knowing that I would have access to her most intimate thoughts.
"Please have a little more trust in me Ennica." I said, giving her a worried frown.
She gave a determined shake of her head. I was half expecting this. She was too scared of loosing me just because of one stray negative thought.
"Here then. I'll let you look at my entire mind."
I removed every barrier between Ennica and me. She twitched a little and her eyes opened a bit wider as she felt the new flow of thoughts between us. Sure I had my dirty...errr...fantasies about Ennica and I, but I wanted to know how much I trusted her. Gradually, her defenses dropped and all of her apprehension left her mind.
"See. And anything you tell me will never make it further than me if that's what you want."
Her shyness disappeared, replaced by her quiet confidence. "Thank you."
I gave a mischievous smirk. "So, you're a virgin still, eh? I'm not."
Ennica blushed. "Is that bad?"
"No, it just that I get to show you all of the fun parts of having a relationship." I grinned even wider. "Have you ever cum before?"
"Come? As in 'Come over to my house?'"
I broke down laughing. "No! As in touched yourself?"
"Yes. I highly doubt there's a way you can put clothes on without touching yourself, especially with girls and bras, like me."
I laughed harder. "No! Sexually!"
She blushed furiously. "Well...no b-but-" She stopped talking and sniffed me. "Mmmmm, you smell good Echelon."
It was because I was aroused. Felines emitted a special pheromone when aroused that could only be picked up by their mate. Hearing Ennica's cluelessness about sex had new fantasies bubble up in my mind. "Well, um, we should keep moving."
As we got into the station, I bought my ticket and sat down in one of the many seats. The station was very crowded. Ennica snuggled up to me, which did nothing to keep my arousal down. I carefully closed that part of our link.
"Your attention please!" The PA came to life. "The 1:30 express Cobalus to Degreda has been delayed for 5 hours due to security concerns. We apologize for the inconvenience."
I sighed. "Great. Now what?"
Ennica traced a seductive pattern down my chest. "How about we go rent out a room. I think you know how to pleasure a girl?"
It took a moment before I realized my scent was getting Ennica aroused. "You sure? We just fell in love a couple of hours ago? And for you, it lady, not girl"
"Yeah, but you were in love with me a while before, right?"
"Yes, but-"
"So, let's go."
In train stations on Amorphis, they had bedrooms available for rent by the hour. Travelers used the to get some sleep before traveling. However, they were also nicknamed 'make-out rooms' because couples would spend time before one left. For that matter, the doors were soundproofed. We paid for a room and locked ourselves inside. I had to explain all the slang terms associated with sex to Ennica while she squirmed and writhed.
"So yeah. Other than your hymen, it should feel very good. Any quest-"
Ennica viciously grabbed my shirt and kissed me passionately, playing with my tongue. "Enough talk." She whispered seductively. "Mate me."
I smiled and slipped my shirt off. We pressed together in another kiss as I began to work at the bow on the back of Ennica. Her bikini slid off and she pushed her now bare breasts against my chest. My hands reached up and started squeezing her breasts. Immediately she broke the kiss and slank back nervously.
"Wait, Echelon. Did you just grope me?"
"I told you. That's part of sex."
"Can we leave it out?"
I sighed disappointedly. "Sure, but I was hoping to give you the luxury treatment though."
"Is it that good?"
"You'll have to decide."
"Well..." She thought for a moment. "Then just give it to me. I don't care so long as I get to do what I want first."
"Which is?"
Ennica smiled and began pulling down my pants, allowing my hard cock to spring out. She gave a pleased purr and began licking it. "Like this?"
"Ahh god yes!"
She purred and took it and began suckling on it. Her tongue flicked deftly over it, pleasuring me like never before. I groaned and she simply got better and better. I nearly lost control and came a little, a small spurt of cum. Ennica moaned a little and kept going. Finally, it became too much and I howled, spurting cum into her waiting maw.
Ennica purred and swallowed. "Mmmmm, so goooddd...."
I panted a little. "See?"
Ennica blushed. "I'm getting this weird urge to touch my pussy. Is that good?"
"Don't worry. I'll please you." I gently slipped her bikini bottoms off, exposing her sex. She blushed in embarrassment. "It's okay. Just give in to the pleasure."
I began firmly rubbing her lips. Ennica shuddered a bit, still apprehensive. As soon as a bit of her cum began to flow, I gave her slit a lick. Ennica cried out in pleasure.
"Oh-oh-oh god! Echelon! Oh god!"
My tongue began lapping at Ennica's slit, drinking her virgin cum. She was in heaven, moaning and twitching. My tongue brushed her clit and she gasped and arched her back, grabbing my head and thrusting it into her crotch. I adapted a new technique, pushing my tongue in, then dragging it up her pussy until I brushed her clit.
Ennica was screaming and howling, having never experienced anything like it before. "Oh Echelon! It's too much! Take me, take me or I'm gonna pass out!" Suddenly she spasmed and screamed, experiencing her first climax ever. She writhed in pleasure and I drank as much I could. Finally, she came down from her high, panting and laying still.
"Was that good?" I asked, kissing her thighs affectionately. She didn't answer. I crawled up and looked at her face. Sure enough, she had passed out. I smiled and simply pulled her in close, stroking her neck and waiting for her to wake up.

My vision swam as I came to. Whatever knocked me out was sending strange feeling ripples through my body. I groaned and opened my eyes and smiled as Echelon looked into my eyes. Memories of what just happened became clear and I was no longer apprehensive on what happened and what was going to happen.
"I want you to violate me Echelon." I murmured.
"It's not violation if you like it. It just mating then."
I rolled him on top of me. "Just show me then."
He smiled warmly. "Okay, but just to let you know, it may hurt a little but I'm going to keep going until it feels good, okay?"
"Just take me dammit." I growled, shivering I anticipation. "Take my virgin pu-AHHHHGGGNNNN!"
Echelon interrupted my by pushing in the first bit of his cock into my depths and I cried out in pleasure. He kept sliding in, dragging his spines across my virgin depths. Finally he stopped and I could feel something tugging inside of me.
"It's your hymen Ennica. You ready?"
My mind was fogged by an overwhelming wave of lust. I desperately needed to be mated. "Do it! Mate me and make me your lover!" He thrust hard and suddenly, there was this blinding pain as my hymen gave way. I cried out, tears dripping from my eyes. "It hurts, it hurts!" Every thrust cause lances of pain to shoot through my body.
Echelon gave me a worried look. "If it hurts, kiss me as much as you want. I'm not stopping."
I kissed him passionately, begging him telepathically to take my pain away. And as he thrust, I could suddenly feel my cum welling up from deep inside. As is began seeping past his cock I shuddered a bit, some of the pain fading. Soon it was completely gone, replaced by the exciting feeling of being full. Suddenly a wave of pleasure hit me as I felt Echelon's spines flare inside of me and drag across my tight folds. I moaned in ecstasy, enjoying my virgin depths being penetrated. I began panting and bucking in time with Echelons thrusts. Suddenly he howled, thrust as deep as he could and came, spurting into my depths. I helplessly howled and climaxed, arching into Echelon and twitching and spasming. We both came down from our highs, panting and shuddering.
"I'm so tired Echelon." My eyes half closed and I fought for consciousness.
"Don't worry, that's normal." He stroked my arms. "You're so beautiful."
"Thank you. Are we just going to stay joined?"
"Yeah." He gave a worried frown. "You look so sleepy Ennica. Don't worry, just go to sleep. We still have 4 hours at least left to rest."
It was a dream come true for me. I had hoped to sleep with Syar back when I had my crush, but now Echelon replaced him in every dream I had. I let my eyes close and my head slump over and began to drift away. Before I completely fell asleep however , I felt Echelon kiss my cheek and whisper how beautiful I was before I let his love envelope me and I drifted off to sleep.

After we took a nap, we found we had another 2 hours to waste. Echelon and I had another round of sex before we fell asleep again. After, Echelon washed my cum off his face and I had to have a complete shower to get the sweat out of my fur. I could easily pass as a girl that had just come from the beach. Xeno society was more accepting of a lower dress code. I could walk around in my bikini all day without being given a second though. The minimum was to have something on over your underwear (or swimwear).
We gathered Echelon's stuff and headed to the station platform. There we stood as the train pulled in. Amorphian trains were still steam engines but they used a hydrogen fueled flame instead of coal. All Xenos worshipped the environment. It was even our religion.
Xenos believed in the five gods of life. Musi, god of the earth. Lamu, god of the souls. Skai, godess of the waters. Ysui, god of the shadows. Wena, goddess of light. Each one represented a part of our world. The basis of our religion is that if we took care of the eniviroment, the gods would grant us good fortune in life and death. Everything was given to us for us to use for our happiness. Our bodies, our emotions, our souls and our magic. Even sex. The pleasure was supposed to be a gift from the gods for 100 years of existence. Now, though it was not concretely placed, the common convention was that Xenomorphs existed for around 200 millenia. Some Xenos were more religious, others, like me, Sunset and the others, were not so religious. We still believed though. Each one of us prayed to our specific god once a month.
Echelon sighed. "Well, I'm going now."
I looked at him sadly. "I'll miss you."
"I will too." He kissed me and hugged me tightly. "I'll be back in two days though."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too."
Echelon boarded the train and it soon started rolling forward. He leaned out the window and waved.
"I'll see you in two days, monkey-cat!"
Monkey-cat was the nickname he came up with for me. I blushed at the mention of it. As soon as the train was out of sight, I sighed sadly. I already missed Echelon. However, I had some errands to run. My stuff had arrived from the Order of the Realms Degreda barracks, so I would be staying in the barracks in Cobalus from now on. I needed some groceries.

"Sorry Sunset, but this area's restricted, no civilians." I keyed in a passcode at the security checkpoint door.
Sunset gave a disappointed sigh. "Honestly, I wish it was still restricted for me."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You'll see."
After we had a romantic lunch on the beach, we wandered around together for a bit until I got a message from Mira alerting me that there was a short briefing meeting that I needed to attend. I changed into my pilot suit and headed off. Sunset was rather insistent on following.
"Just stick with-eh? Sunset?" I looked for her but she seemed to have disappeared. I decided to just let her go and find her later.
As I stepped through the briefing room door, I came to attention and saluted Mira. "Lord Akival reporting as ordered ma'am."
"At ease." Mira sighed. "To think that my little brother, who is hundreds of times superior to me still obeys my orders. Sit down. We just have to wait on the other three."
"Three?"
Mira smiled. "That's right. Our new squadmate is arriving today."
The briefing room was also a rec room sometimes, so there were recliners and couches. In the corner stood a huge flatscreen TV. The walls were painted an earthen brown. I took a seat in a recliner and leaned back.
Vash and Jakeyr both entered the same way I did. They sat down then suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Mira called.
The door opened and I gasped at what I saw.
Sunset wearing a white, grey and yellow pilot suit stood at attention and saluted.
"Ensign Tzura reporting as ordered commander."
"At ease."
Sunset relaxed and walked over to me, sitting in my lap. "Surprised?"
I just made an incoherent gurgling noise. I was in complete shock.
"Alright. Let's get this over with people." Mira stood up in front of us.
"Fast question?" Vash asked.
"Go ahead."
"We have four Paladin unit. There five pilot. Who sit out?"
"No one."
Vash grumbled a bit. "I no get answer."
"As you all know, assembly on Paladin Unit 04 has been completed. Sunset-"
"Ma'am" Sunset barked, confirming she knew her name was called.
"-will pilot Unit 04. I've been assigned to Unit 01."
"That's my unit!" I barked angrily.
"Too late. I've refitted it with an entire long range electronic warfare suite and a command and control system. That, and some better rifles."
"What about me!?!?!" I growled
"You'll be receiving a new prototype unit."
"What?" I was stunned. Bounty Hunters didn't just get units.
"We have been scanning you power levels as a Helldragon. R and D decided that it was time for a dedicated unit. Codenamed Phalanx, it's been totally redesigned from the ground up, built totally for your fighting style and physical attributes. And it will be assembled by tomorrow."

My hands were completely full with bags of food. I had gotten enough food for this week and more. Ground beef, chicken, vegetables, spices and the list ran on. I was still in my bikini so I was drawing some eyes here and there. As I crossed an alleyway I heard a bit of whimpering. As I started down the alleyway, I started planning an attack and defence if I needed it. When I got to the end, I found a little pantheress, barely three years old. She had purple hair
"Hey, what's wrong?" I knelt down beside her. "Have you been abandoned?"
She nodded sadly. "My parents forced me out of my town because I'm a shapeshifter."
"Are hurt?"
She shook her head. "No."
"You really remind me of myself." I ran through a short version of my life. All through that, the little pantheress listened intently, hang on every word. After I had finished talking the little pantheress looked up with glowing eyes. "So yeah. I hate the idea of there being another incident like my life, so how about I take you in as my little sister?"
"Little sister? So you'll be my big sister?"
"Yep."
The little pantheress thought for a moment. Then her eyes lit up. "YAY, BIG SISTER!" She jumped and hugged me tightly.
"Okay, okay, let go before I drop our food!" I smiled as the little pantheress let go. "What's your name?"
"Amel."
"Well Amel, jump on my shoulders and I'll give you a ride to your new home."
Amel scrambled up my back and sat on my shoulders. "Go!"
I walked to the barracks carrying Amel on my shoulders. We sang and joked and laughed. When we got to the barracks, the two of us were belting out a traditional panther song. The secretary looked at me like I was crazy.
"Corporal Mykai, are you feeling okay?"
I stopped singing briefly to answer. "Who, me? Perfectly fine."
She shook her head. "Your room is number 163."
I took Amel to my room. There, I made dinner and played some games. Later, I rented a DVD and we were watching it. We sat in front of the TV and the final scenes played out into the credits.
"What's next big sister?" Amel asked.
"Well, we should get to sleep. You take my bed, I'll get the cot out."
Amel shook her head. "I don't like normal mattresses. You take the bed, I'll be fine on the cot."
"Alright." I got Amel some blankets and laid them down on the cot. Amel crawled in, wearing a set of some of my old PJs.
I leaned over her and smiled. "You want a bedtime story?"
"Stories are for babies! I'm three years old!"
"Oh really? Well I'm 16 years old."
Amel's eyes opened wide in marvel. "Oh wow, you're grown up."
I smiled. "Yes, I am. Now get to bed honey."
Amel yawned. "Alright big sister."
I kissed her on the forehead. "Sweet dreams."

(Unknown)
Everyone of my children had gone to sleep.
Lacyus was lying in bed with Sunset snuggled up to him. The two were truly in love and could never forgive myself for what I did to Sunset that day.
Mira was facedown on her desk, the many parts of her custom rifle laid out around her. She was always so enthusiastic about her job as a bounty hunter.
And of course, my beloved Ennica. She was always so strong and kind and I was very pleased to see that she took in that poor abandoned child.
I retracted my tentacles from the shadows and they reformed into my right arm. I had expected Lacyus to become a Helldragon.
After all, it was in his blood.
***************
Author's note: So another series comes to an end. My girlfriend and me are taking a break from the story for the summer. In the fall, a new story will start. Lacyus and Sunset will take their proper places as leaders of the Order of the Realms, A new dragon, Alora will be thrown into the fray, Ennica's mother will be revealed, and the humans will strike again.
So until then, have a great summer and keep guessing on what will happen.
Best regards,
Lacyus and Sunset
