#4 of Nocti's Journal

Another Nocti's Journal entry, this time taking place of what was supposed to be the halfway point of Falling Apart.


Nocti's journal. It's only be a couple of days since I became Mistress Vega's second lead pet, and shi's alread taking me to the main VegaCorp training facility on a world called Occamier (Ah-kou-me-er). Apparently, one of hir new "display" employees became so intimidated that they had to be left alone in their quarters just to calm down. Mistress has me in my Growlithe form, hoping that my more submissive side can get me close enough to find out what's wrong. __________

The white marble hallways were rather small in comparison to the wide tunnels of Breakwater Hideaway, but they felt extremely open even with their size. The sun and two of the three visible moons appeared in some windows at the far end of the hall I was in, making me feel almost like I was outside with the way it bounced off of everything. Being off of Poketara was... disorienting, but a fresh change of pace for sure. Once I found the double doors marked "Toy Wing 5", I stopped and tapped on a screen to provide my credentials.

Before continuing, I was asked to take a naked toy form for the sake of the residents, so I loaded the "Living Latex" card that Mistress gave me into my Omnivice and activated it. My body glowed as my fur retreated, giving me a "painted" rubber skin for my canine body. My three sets of breasts became much more rounded, my hands became thick and paw-like, my tail looked like something that would be found on a pool toy, and my feet squeaked with each movement. Then came my internals, changing into solid rubber latex. To finish up, my cock became more like a dildo and constantly out on display as my sheathe retracted, and my pussy and tailhole opened themselves to be more like those of a sex doll.

I was allowed to enter once my transformation was over, and after pushing the doors open, I walked into a rather empty living area that reminded me of the commons room back in Pokemon Rescue academy. There were ten massive black plush chairs surrounding a circular black wood table, a set of black sofas positioned around a TV, and ten doors leading off to rooms along the other three walls. Only one of them had a name on it: "Fen".

I approached it and knocked. "Come in." A voice said meekly from within. I did. In the far left corner, sitting curled up on a bed, was a feline toy morph much like the form I took, one called a tiger. His body was purple with black stripes, and his eyes were a beautiful amber color.

He was curled up and looking at me like a scared feral kitten, huddled up against the wall and headboard. "A-a-are you a new display toy?"

I shook my head, smiling as I approached and sat down next to him. "My name's Nocti. I'm Mistress Vega's new lead pet, along side Nemi. Shi asked me to visit you and find out what's wrong."

He looked at me with a slight suspicion, but my honesty appeared to calm him down a bit. "My name's Fen. Vega found me on Maiken after my family threw me out of our village. Said shi needed a new model and showed me this, and I wanted it so bad. When I got here, they stuffed me in a suit and said I'd be this way forever. I'm supposed to show off their toyfication suits that make people like me."

"So what happened?" I asked, reaching out and putting a hand on his shoulder.

His body shook hard. "Th-the trainers. They're really rough. I told them something felt wrong, and they beat me with something that looked like a little whip."

I nodded, looking into the heads-up display within my vision. Mistress had been listening in through a communications link, and I waited for a response from hir. It started with a deep and disappointed sigh. "They were seriously beating a frightened employee with a crop? What the hell? I'll handle the trainers. You take care of Fen."

"What felt wrong or uncomfortable?" I had to buy myself a little time to think.

"I-I don't know" He said, looking as if he wanted to cry. "They tried to take me from behind, but when they slid in, I felt a lot of pressure. It didn't hurt, but it felt really... I just couldn't take it."

I didn't have any formal training with living sex toys, but since Mistress was busy... "Mind if I take a look back there?"

He turned around. "S-sure. Just be easy." He raised his thin tube-like tail and exposed the wide open hole in his rear. I knew how sensitive it could be, so I carefully used two fingers to spread him a bit wider, summoning a flashlight into my other hand with my Omnivice and shining it down into him. Instantly, I could see the problem. There was a small lump in the latex. Anyone taking him from behind would've probably thought it was a feature.

"I see the problem. Hold on a sec. I need to contact Mistress for some advice."

"What is it, pup?" Shi asked instantly, having stayed on the link.

"He's got a lump in his rear hole. Definitely something wrong with the transformation." He gave a small whine, so I sent hir a picture through my Omnivice and let go of him. "Looks like it'd be painful if he were organic."

"No doubt about that." Shi said, a loud thud and whimper coming through in the audio. "I'm taking him home and having Altair look at him. Shi does most of the product development, so shi can fix him. I'll have you sex him up a bit after he's ready. Get him comfortable with himself again." There was a sickening crack in the background, along with hir saying something in a language I didn't know. "Just wait for me there."

"Yes mam." I looked at him with a smile while reaching up and petting his head. "You'll be coming back to Poketara with Mistress and I. Gonna get you fixed up so it won't be so hard on you."

"O-okay." He said, still clearly frightened. "T-thank you. You're nicer than a lot of the people here. May I thank you properly?" I gave him a nod, and he turned around. Within seconds, his lips met mine in a deep and amazing kiss, his tongue even sliding into my maw with a squeak. I fell back onto the bed, instinctively wrapping my arms around him as I returned the gesture.

We stayed liked that until Mistress contacted me again, rubbing against each other like a pair of lovers who'd just rediscovered their feelings. It was nice to experience that again. On the way out, I stopped by the information desk of the corporate section and had them send my Omnivice a full info-sheet on the product Fen represents. __________

Back at Breakwater, I sat in my temporary quarters in Indigo tunnel, reading over the info-sheet. Apparently, the model he's become is called the "Lover's Sacrifice". The suits are sold in pairs, and both lovers wear one, permanently becoming living latex dolls. That explained why I was required to have a toy form of my own. In addition, both have their feelings for the other permanently etched into their minds. It was designed, quite literally, for lovers who wanted to take the ultimate step to eliminate trust issues.

I was still in my own toy form as I waited for him, leaning back in the massive pillow I called a bed. I had to admit, the form was rather erotic just as a temporary change, much less a permanent one. My ten inches of black latex canine dildo was on constant display, and the ribbed vaginal toy that made my pussy was always spread just enough to be used at any moment. Even my breasts were much more perky, especially the B-cup sized top row, and more sensitive to touch.

I started to run a hand along my cock, but there was a sudden knock on the door. "Come in." I said, expecting Fen. Instead, Mistress hirself was standing in front of me looking more than a little disappointed. "Is Fen okay?"

"Yeah, he's fine. Alti wants to keep him overnight. Just to keep an eye on his mental state." Shi said shaking hir head. "Can't use him as a display, though. I just got done 'dealing' with my trainers, and by dealing I mean turning them into nice little fucktoys. Stupid me forgot we only had three openings, and I ended up filling them. Not sure what to do with Fen now."

I motioned for hir to join me, which shi did gladly. In my current state, the smell of cum and rubber was off the charts on hir. I took to massaging hir shoulders while shi leaned back against me. "Well, we could keep him here. Gods know Altair and Siri could use the help, and he seemed to take to me pretty fast."

"Still too soon for you, pup." Shi told me. After my boyfriend decided that we'd be better off separate, I'd ended up telling Auva I liked her, then found out my former master had a thing for me, then both of them became unavailable for different reasons. "Besides, you two were only kissing like that because your form made him a partner for you. It's a side effect of the suit's design."

"Not what I meant, Mistress." I admitted, blushing brightly. He was kinda my type, but I agreed it was a bit soon. "He trusted me almost instantly after I told him who I was. I'm pretty sure anyone else trying to get at his rump would've scared him."

Shi seemed to purr in my grip, clearly enjoying the attention to hir muscles. "Point taken. Just remember, he's a sex toy. He's fully fit for duty, and given half a chance he'll likely try and get you in bed with him, especially now that you've kissed. Actually, I wonder..."

Shi grinned and turned around, then leaned up and kissed me square on the lips, pinning my shoulders to the ground as hir tongue slid into my maw. Once again, my arms instantly raised up, trying to wrap around her body to pull hir into me. I managed to overpower hir grip and do so, holding hir like a long lost love. After a couple of moments, my eyes went wide as I pushed hir away in realization, clearing my throat to break the awkward silence.

"Look at me, pet." Shi said, grabbing my head to make me do just that. "How do you feel when you see me now?"

I blushed brightly, knowing shi probably knew good and well how I was feeling. Just a quick look at hir body made me feel hard as rock, even if my shaft was a dildo already. "I... I feel like we've been mates for years. Like I wanna ride your cock till we both pass out from exhaustion. I'm having a hard time thinking about anything but fucking you."

I felt my body's changes revert, leaving me in my organic body once again. "How about now?"

After blinking a few times, I looked around. "I feel... normal. I think... Is it supposed to do that?"

"Not at all." Shi said with a laugh, returning me to my toy form with a thought. "That's fucking brilliant! I love that feature! Gonna have to buy Altair dinner later for that one."

I nodded with a soft squeak of my skin. Apparently, the kiss wore off when I changed back. I wasn't hornier that hir. "Well, at least I'm getting SOME experimentation." I couldn't help but laugh.

I saw "that" look in hir eyes. The look shi gets whenever I open my mouth with a smartass remark. It wasn't anger or anything like that. Just pure, uncontrollable lust. Before I could react, shi had me on my back with my shoulders pinned again, and hir clothing disappeared into hir Omnivice. Hanging between hir legs was a throbbing ten inch draconic shaft with three ridges and a knot, and behind that was a pair of tennisball-sized orbs.

Being my Mistress, shi didn't need permission to fuck me, so without another word, I felt that amazing shaft plunge deep into my toy pussy, the ridges teasing every little rib along the shaft inside of me. I could feel my entire body warming up down to it's very core. Shi took me hard right from the start, causing me to moan out in ecstasy with every powerful thrust. Mistress wasn't one to moan, though. Shi growled, and right into my ear, showing hir dominance over me.

One push after another, each impacting my groin with an audible squeak, hir cock hit deep enough that I could feel it in my stomach. Every time shi entered or pulled out, the lips stretched around hir knot, massaging it with little pleasure nubs . Then shi went faster, panting heavily as my constant cries of pleasure aroused hir even farther. My mind started to fade into darkness like usual, but before it could, a loud roar shook me back to reality. My insides were being flooded with liters of hir seed, much of it pouring out of my needy cunt like an endless drool. This form wasn't a cum vat, but if it were, my belly would have been looked pregnant with a full clutch.

Mistress had thrown back hir head in hir bliss, but once hir brief recovery phase had ended, shi leaned into me to give me a deep, incredible kiss that seemed to last forever. When shi did let go, hir words hit me hard enough to make me wish my cock could throb. "Mmm... Just what I like in my pets. A nice obedient hole to fuck, a willing romantic, and a trained tongue to please me any way I want. Such a good girl." Being called that left me wanting more.

Hir cock left my cunt with a messy slurping sound, and I could feel it resting against my leg as it dripped like a leaky faucet. "You know pet, if you weren't so valuable as a friend, I'd make you my personal bitch toy. Maybe even a cum egg factory."

Shi rolled over to lay beside me, and I rested my head on hir shoulder. "Thank you, Mistress. I'm happy to serve. Even more than being a rescuer."

Shi gave me a soft smile. "Kinda figured that. You make a better sex doll, but that's because it's more your thing." I felt hir hand move, running over my hardened dildo with care. "By the way, I wanna know the truth. Do you really want that normal kind of love? Or are you looking for something a bit more... open?" I stared at hir with a bit of confusion. "Think on it. I disabled the whole 'connected by a kiss' thing with your form, so have a bit of fun."

"Mistress, are you staying here tonight?" I asked, blushing brightly. "I was gonna ask this morning, but the rush to Occamier thing kinda made me forget."

"I'm completely free, pet." Shi replied, giving me another quick kiss. "I kinda wanted a real night with you, anyway. Haven't had that chance since you became my pet."

"You haven't had the chance, period." I looked up at hir, wanting to laugh. "Chaos abound, Nemi taking me, my getting the God Masks because of my submissiveness."

Mistress chuckled, petting along my head and neck. "Good point. You really shook things up here. Speaking of, I need to get back to Poketara. I found a Rhydon who wanted to be a plushie in Toy Town, so I gotta go get her." Shi quickly got back up, hir tight purple uniform returning to hir body. "I still wish you'd get over your phobia of the place, though. I could use you over there sometimes."

"I'll go back when I'm ready." I said, giving hir a reassuring smile. "I wanna rub it in their faces, but only when I can take it."

"Okay. Take care, pet." With that, shi left the room, and me in a puddle of hir seed. __________

I cleaned myself off and put on my usual purple uniform of a cargo vest and knee-length skirt. Fen and Altair were gone, so I went out to my usual spot at the end of Blue Tunnel, leaning over the rails of the balcony cliff. Down below me and stretching quite far was the emerald forest of gem trees. It was my thinking spot, so to speak.

While I was there, I watched Altair leading Fen into a closed-off clearing for something. It'd always been impossible to see anyone on the balcony cliff from down there, so I watched for a bit as Ceti and some toy morphs joined in. My guess was a group therapy session.

"You skipping on the sun bath, too?" A voice asked me from behind. Auva, in her pooltoy Floatzel form, wandered out from Blue Tunnel and leaned over the railing with me. Oddly for her, she was completely in the nude.

"Didn't even know about it. Mistress had my attention." I turned to her, pointing to my body.

Shi ran a vinyl hand over my rubbery arm, causing a rather audible squeak as it slid across my skin like ice on ice. "Pretty! Lover's Sacrifice, right? Shi was muttering something about it on the way to the gate."

"Yeah." I couldn't help but giggle, turning around to head inside. "You busy? I was gonna head back to my room until Mistress gets back. Kinda bored."

Shi smiled and wrapped an arm around my neck. "Well, I'm kinda in a hurry, but I know someone who wants to see you." __________

I walked through Grass Green tunnel towards Operations, stopping at room five and gaving the door a knock. "Come." A male voice called out. Inside, it looked to be a rather bare bedroom with only a bed, desk and a couple of chairs. Sitting on the bed was Thuban, a male Mightyena with a body in his late teens. His fur was somewhat spiky, and small sparks of electricity zapped across many strands. I always callm him a walking light show. Oddly enough, he's the I.T. guy.

"Noc!" He said, jumping up and literally pouncing towards me to give me a hug. I braced myself, managing to catch him without falling over. "Hey! Someone got an upgrade." He looked me over, running a paw along my arm. "This the new suit Altair was talking about?"

"Yeah. It's called Lover's Sacrifice." I said, laughing softly. Damn, he was energetic. "Really damn good form, too. Mistress disabled it for me, but if someone kisses someone else as one of these, they fall madly in love with each other. It's supposed to be for couples."

"Sounds fun." He pulled me over to his bed to lay back with him. Not only was he energetic, he was really damn strong. "Weird. I can't card it. Too bad, too. I really like being a lab rat for Alti and Vee. Never a dull moment, ya know?"

I gave him a very inquisitive look. "I kinda expected that from you, but what do you mean? You wanna help test it?"

He started to laugh, wrapping an arm behind my shoulders. "Hey, I'm sexual! May not look like it, but I enjoy a nice night in bed." His face turned red suddenly. "Well, that's not entirely true. I can be a bit of a cumslut sometimes. Kinda hard not to with Vega and Auva around."

As I laid there, I put my head on his shoulder. I don't know if it was the Lover's Sacrifice or something in my own head, but Vega's question was gnawing at me still, and I had to ask something. "You know, Mistress has Altair, Siri and Centi have their own love interests, Ceti's not really looking, Auva doesn't want commitment... What about you? You ever think about trying to find someone to call a mate?"

"Yeah." He said replied smiling at me. "I've been wanting to ask you out, but you've been busy and I don't do email dating." This time, my face went red. "What? You're hot no matter your form, you've got an awesome personality, and you're really open-minded and kind. Of course I'd take a chance on you."

He leaned over and gave me a kiss me on the lips, then started talking about a lot of private things. While he talked, a lot of thoughts ran through my head. I hadn't even considered Thuban. I mean, he's somewhat muscular and loves a lot of the same things I do. He's also really open and blunt about his thoughts, so I wouldn't have to worry about him hiding anything. Of course, Vega's question still stood: Was I looking for a stable relationship, or something more...

"...so yeah, if we did date, all I'd ask for is an open relationship."

Open... At that point, I started to suspect this was planned by Auva, Ceti and Mistress. If anyone knew Thuban's feelings, it'd be them. Auva shrugged off my advances, Ceti's outright told me shi wasn't looking yet, and Mistress kept pushing me to keep looking, even when I considered Fen. Then there was Auva telling me to come here and relax with him... Hell, why not? One thing had to be said, though.

"Thu... Teddy," I said, deciding his birth name would be more appropriate, "are you sure you want to date one of Vega's lead pets instead of someone more... free?"

He laughed for a moment. "Are you kidding me? Of course I'm sure!" In a matter of moments, he rolled me on top of him, hugging me tightly. "I'm a sub myself. Can't even count the times I've tried to get Vee to collar me. Even outright begged hir. Won't do it, though."

That seemed really... odd. I sent off a quick email to hir to find out why, then turned and kissed him. "Alright, then. I'll give you a shot."

You'd have thought he just won the lottery with the way he reacted, kissing me so hard and deep that my form made me enter one hell of a pseudo-orgasmic state. "If I wasn't already late for working on the computer systems, I'd ask you out for a day on the beach just to talk."

After shaking out the cobwebs, I couldn't help but smile. That was real dedication for you. I rolled over to I let him up. "Then get dressed and work, pet."

I really took him off guard with that. He blushed so brightly I could have easily mistaken him for another Growlithe, then fell off the bed while getting off of it. "Y-yes, mam!" He didn't get dressed, but he ran out like a blur

My email icon started flashing, indicating a new message. It was from Vega, telling me that Altair outright forbid hir from taking him. Shi had no idea why, and said I should ask Alti if I really wanted to know. Shi also asked if Thuban tried to get me in bed with him. Just for fun, I sent hir a one-liner email as a reply. "How do you think I found out he loves me?" Well, I really HAD been lying in bed with him the entire time. __________

I decided to return to Mistress's room while everyone else was busy, ditching my clothes while I was at it. I was the only one in there, so I thought Mistress wouldn't mind me having a little fun with hir toys. After all, I was just another part of the collection.

I looked through the mass of dildos and restraints, finding a rather large dragon dildo of a type I'd never seen before, and it was connected to a strap-on harness. The thing was at least a foot long, and like Mistress's shaft, it had three ridges and a knot, but the head was hooded with a large urethra opening along the underside and what looked like vaginal lips surrounding it. It was labeled in old Poketarian with the name "Jiheddo King". It was odd, as I'd never heard of a Zweilous king. I made a copy of it with my Omnivice and put it back, deciding not to tempt fate with that one just yet.

There were a few others, including copies of almost every male and herm Starlight members' shafts as dildos, with Ceti's resting against the wall in a nearby corner. I'd never realized hir cock came up to my top breasts, and my Growlithe form had always been just over six feet at the top of my head. Behind the dildos were a set of vaginal toys for the herms and females, though oddly enough, Ceti's was missing. Off on their own, I even found sets for both my Growlithe and Cubone forms, my puppyboy form, and Nemi's adult and kittyboy forms. The slots for Marcus, Azureh and Mari were empty though, making wonder if they were in use or still being made.

I made copies of them all for myself before grabbing a generic Houndoom toy to play with. It was made of a heavy black crystal, about six inches long and two thick, with a three inch knot near the base. I also grabbed a nice five-long-two-thick vinyl Luxray toy and put it in a canine muzzle harness.

With my picks in hand, I wandered over to the bed and stuffed the feline cock in my maw like a hungry slut, locking the muzzle tight. Then I spread my legs and gave the nice crystal toy a test by slipping it in a little. My pussy seemed to be self-lubing, so I rolled it long my walls with a soft muffled moan, the tip teasing one of the ribs.

The feeling of being a needy sex toy kicked in, making me stuff the rod hard into myself, knot and all. When my lips parted to take the massive hump, I arched my back until I was leaning on my head, only dropping down with a thud once the feeling of sheer bliss wore off. I put me right on the edge of orgasm, but in my hunger for lust, I discovered that the damned thing was stuck. My cunt literally closed in on it, and I couldn't pull it free.

"It's always nice to see my toys so willing and needy." That voice... Mistress? Shi appeared beside me like a chameleon removing it's camo, a cocky grin across hir maw and a pair of linked cuffs in hir hands. I found myself unable to move for a moment as shi used them to bind my wrists together. "Came home early. Thought I'd see if my suit's sex toy effects started getting to you yet."

I tried saying something, but with a mouth full of toy cock I didn't get anything out. "Sorry, pet. You're staying locked up like this for a while. Besides, I prefer my toys quiet."

With one hand, Mistress picked me up and flipped me onto my stomach, using another harness to lock the crystal Houndoom dildo into me. Then, without a word, shi grabbed my hips and jammed hir shaft hard into my tailhole. My moan was clear and loud when I felt that pointed tip hit the far end of my opening, sending a wave of pleasure directly into my mind. I literally forget everything for a moment, including my own name.

Shi took me violently, thrusting and prodding that spot over and over with hir cock. My mind felt hazy, and I was having trouble remembering anything I thought of. My name, hir real name, anyone I knew, even where I was, all faded in the warm and blissful fog of nothingness that filled my head. I started panting hard, eager for more. The harder shi was with me, the happier I felt. What might have been pain was nothing more that an intoxicating experience of white hot lust.

Soon, even time didn't matter. The room was spinning while shi roared in orgasm, soaking my entire backside with sticky seed that poured out of my hole like a river. I felt such an intense happiness that when shi started speaking to me, my ears just wouldn't work. I couldn't hear hir voice, just hir heart beating in my head. My body went limp, almost numb, as shi flipped me over to look me in the eyes. That's when those started failing me as well, everything going white. It was like a heavenly sunbeam that never grew cold.

The next thing I knew, Mistress slapped me hard across my bare face. It hurt, but the moment I realized it, a deep moan escaped my maw. I came from my cock so hard that it felt like my groin exploded, the gushing fountain of sticky goo soaking Mistress's face and chest before turning towards my own. By the time it stopped, I was so drenched in my own seed that I might as well have been in a cum bath.

"Gods damn, Nocti. You scared me for a bit." Shi said, sounding really worried as shi wiped away enough cum to talk. "What happened?"

I started shaking the cobwebs out, trying to remember. "I felt like my mind was going blank... then I couldn't hear... then the amazing white warmth... Oh gods I wish I were back there right now."

To my surprised, shi started laughing. "Oh wow... I really did almost make a damned toy out of you. That's what happens during toyfication. I REALLY didn't expect that out of the suits." Shi leaned down over me a gave me a rather gooey and sloppy kiss. "Like I said earlier, as much as I'd like you to be an ever-needy toy, you still make a better assistant and friend. Make a better lover, too, but I'm not looking for another mate."

Shi sighed happily and rolled to lay next to me on what I assumed was hir bed, clearly enjoying the fact that shi was soaked though-and-through by my fluids. "You know, Noc, if there's one thing I've learned about you, it's that you really know how to have a good time with yourself. Three hours as a toy had to be amazing."

Three hours... I was out for three hours. "Must not have fucked me enough, Mistress. Nemi had me out for a month." I said with a grin.

"Oh, you'll lose a month soon enough, especially if I can get Alti to let me take Thuban. He's been begging me so damned hard for the last year." Hir hand pointed to a collar and set of cuffs hanging on the wall next to hir night stand. "I even had those made specially for him. I've never seen someone so dedicated ouside of you."

I had to stop and think for a moment. What could possibly make Altair so adamant against letting Thuban become Vega's pet, especially if it'd make him happy? At least a hundred possibilities went through my mind, letting me cross off one after another like a checklist. Then it hit me. "Is Teddy the only tech support the base has?"

This seemed to make Mistress take notice as shi sat up and looked at me. "Kinda. Altair and Siri used to until he took over. Why?"

That explained it all. "That's probably why shi's so pissy about it. Promise hir he can keep going. Maybe teach Fen how to do it so we have someone else. I doubt our new friend sleeps, so he can be a fuck toy in his off time and a techie in his job."

Shi laid back down, thinking about what I'd just said. "Damn you're good. Alright, you convince hir to go along. You do that, and not only do you get to collar Thuban, I'll get you one hell of a reward."

"Deal." I replied, smiling.

Mistress laid hir head on my chest, yawning softly. "Get some sleep, pet. You're gonna be my pillow for the night." I didn't dare argue. As much as I loved being a toy, I was exhausted as hell. It only took a few minutes for me to drift off to dreamland. __________

Nocti's journal, addendum. The moment I woke up and saw Mistress already gone, I took some time to grab a spare full-body latex suit and lay it out for later. After that, I went right to Altair. It took a few hours, a little begging, and the promise of a session with me in any way shi wanted, but I managed to get hir to agree with me. Fen was shipped off to get training from Thuban, and I was on my way somewhere special. __________

I turned down Orange Tunnel, one of the few that slopped down in small steps, and followed it to the end. That lead to a round room with ten massive wooden doors, each numbered from zero to nine. Following the instructions Alti gave me, I opened up door number one and went inside. What I saw made my jaw drop like a brick.

The "room" wasn't a room at all. I had walked into what looked like a huge park with dirt paths, trees, and a beautiful fountain, but nothing looked normal in any sense of the word. The paths were made with white sand, and the grass glowed with a bright green that made me think of the spirit world. Instead of leaves, the trees were covered in five-point stars that glowed in all sorts of colors. None of that compared to the "sky", though. It looked like your typical night sky, except the world was as bright as daylight, and instead of the typical distant moon or sun, I could see planets that seemed close enough to reach out and touch. I didn't recognize any of them, though. Well, I kind of did with one. It looked like the picture of Earth I had seen a long time ago in Altair's bedroom.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Altair asked as shi wandered in behind me with a dreamy look on hir face. "Galactic Grotto. It's one of my sanctuary worlds. I love coming here to relax and space out, pun intended of course."

I felt hir arm wrap around my shoulders as shi pulled me along. "I think you deserve a nice setting for your first session with me. As nice as the other Galactispots are, Grotto is probably my favorite. The main entrance is in a small alcove at the bottom of Darkness Ridge, thus the name."

"It's incredible!" I blurted out, still trying to take in the sheer magnificence of the place. "But, is that really space up there?"

Shi giggled, leading me to what looked like a small outdoor bedroom on a stone slab. "This place is in a pocket dimension, constantly floating above Earth. The other eight planets go with it to make the Sol System, but the dimension's outer shell kinda contorts space so they're all in constant view. I can't really explain it myself, other than the fact it's a special place."

Shi brought me up to a king-sized bed roll mattress on the ground and pulled me down to lay on it with hir. It was like we were in a paradise from the time of creation. Before I could think on it too much more, shi pressed hir broad snout against my lips and took me into a loving embrace. My arms wrapped around hir waist in return, and my lips parted for hirs to touch. It was a truly serene moment.

"You know, I didn't drag you here for sex." Shi said, smiling and laying hir head on my chest, just above my top breasts. "I can get that any time I want just by asking you, if what Vega said is true. Nah, I wanted a bit of real companionship for a while."

I couldn't help but smile back, giving hir a soft squeeze. "Well, you can definitely get that any time you need it, too. With you and Mistress, it's like I'm with family. You're more like a mother to me than the one I grew up with, and Vega's like a sister that I'd follow to the end of the earth."

"I kinda figured as much. Just as if you really were my daughter, don't expect an allowance or vehicle privileges." I quickly looked down at hir, causing hir to chuckle. "What? Did I hit a nerve."

"N-No, it's just..." I had to stop and pick my words, my heart beating hard in head like Vega's did just last night. "I've found real family here. If I had the chance, I'd forget about most of the family I have back in Poketara and just ask you to adopt me... Well, only after showing off how happy I am now." My face turned red. "I'd have no problem calling you my mother. I'm pretty sure my real mom would rather it be you than them, too."

What shi said would have floored me if I hadn't already been lying down. "Get me the paperwork. I won't interfere in your wanting to be Vee's pet or anything, but if you really want that, I'll do it for you. Gods know you deserve a real home after the hell you've been through."

"R-r-really?!" I doubt my voice could have cracked any harder if I tried. I was shaking, wanting to cry out of sheer happiness. "I-if your sh-sh-sure..."

"When have I even said something I didn't mean?" Shi asked, hir arms pulling me tight against hir body before looking me square in the eyes. "Just remember three things, hon. First, incest is completely acceptable, so don't be afraid to ask me for anything at all. Second, no matter your form, you're my daughter. I'll explain why when you get me the adoption papers, and thank the gods you're an adult so you don't have to get permission. Third..."

Shi stopped, laying hir head down again. "Third, as family, never forget that I'll love you no matter what. Ezeri isn't just a clan. I'll teach you why as soon as you take the name."

I gave hir a silent nod. Once again, I found myself without words as tears streamed down my muzzle. In that brief instant, it was like all of the pain I'd felt from back in Poketara disappeared. I had a possible boyfriend again, I had friends I could trust, I had a mistress who helped me do what I really loved to do, the freedom to be as sexual as I wanted, and now... Now I had a real family. __________

Nocti's Journal, final addendum as "Nocti Enasuna". Altair and I spent pretty much the entire day in Galactic Grotto just talking about everything. Shi told me all about hir past on Earth, hir true home world of Legecia, hir coming to Poketara in both timelines, the fact that Mistress is half Skitty, and even about a mission called "Mission Omega". It was nice to be able to just sit back and relax like that.

After we were done, I left for my new quarters in Lavender Tunnel. I'd been given a room with quick access to both Mistress's room, Team Dawnfall's Sky Blue Tunnel, and Grass Green Tunnel where Thuban's quarters and office were. I packed the new messenger bag that Altair gave me for my trip to Poketara in the morning. While the plan was just to get the adoption papers, I also had two other goals in mind: to find my sister Fera to let her know I'm okay, and to visit my former family one last time, to show them how happy I am now.

Tomorrow would be the end of just over nineteen years of pain and suffering. Of course, I was going over there as a herm. All Ezeri's are natural herms, and if even someone as cautious as Altair was willing to stay that way in front of those who really didn't get dual-gender beings, I might as well follow suit. After all, the first step to overcoming fear is accepting it.

Oh, and since I'd rather not make another side entry, I asked Mistress to show me hir Skitty form. After a few pussy jokes, I got a Copycat card of it, only to have a bit of a surprise. Somehow, Mistress managed to scan a Copycat of my Growlithe form on hirself while changing me into hir feline self. Of all the roll reversals I could have had happen, I wasn't expecting that. We had a bit of fun, though sadly no sex. Still, I learned how to transfer effects to other people, which was a real plus.

Now, time to get some sleep. I've got one hell of a journey tomorrow.

____________________

Nocti's Journal, final entry as "Nocti Enasuna". It's only four in the morning Poketara time, but I'm already on my way to the ARCC gateway. My uniform might be a little messy, but I didn't have much choice. I had to borrow a t-shirt and panties from Mistress to make myself a little more proper for normal life. White under purple looks good, though.

My parents and sister both live in Marrowsol Canyon on opposite sides of the city, so I made sure to put on my rebreather mask as well. Even if the place HAS become a rather green paradise in recent years, I'll never be able to stand the air in that area.

Time to get this over with. __________

I stepped through the quicksilver gateway in front of me, enjoying the cool air of my new home while I could. I came out a mere two blocks away from Pokemon Rescue Academy, in an alleyway off of Main Street. After walking out to the pathway, I had to take a moment and look around, getting a nice view of my former home town.

The streets were fresh dirt paths, a major change from the dusty arid sands they used to be. The "alleyway" was a small tunnel in the brown canyon walls that surrounded Marrowsol. Those walls were what we all used for our homes, our businesses, and our playgrounds. Everything was built into them, using glass, wood and stone to decorate and reinforce their strength. They had to be reinforced, as the buildings were stacked three tall in some areas. Of course, it also helped that Link Vines, a local plant life, acted like steel support mesh in the form of beautiful flowering walls.

To the east was Pokemon Rescue Academy, a massive stone and steel building with nearly a hundred classrooms. Granted, most were only used as a sort of base of operations. A typical day of training usually took place outside somewhere, like the nearby ocean and forest areas. If it weren't for a certain Alakazam, I would have probably enjoyed myself a lot more in my time there.

Sadly, that was also where I had to go first, so I started walking past the many bazaar shops and mindlessly looking into them. As it turned out, my sister Fara was named a Professor of Flame Training at the school during my lost month at Nemi's hands... or paws. I was proud of her when I heard the news, of course. She'd always wanted to be a teacher. I regretted not visiting her earlier, though. While stopping to stare at a beautiful Arcanine print silk dress, I had to wonder what her reaction was going to be to me.

I talked with the owner in their outdoor stall and bought the dress after making sure it was my size. If I was going to drop the news on her, I figured it might be best to do it in style over dinner later. My parents and other siblings wouldn't care enough to listen to any explanations, but if anyone deserved to hear the story, it was Fara. Purchase in hand, I kept going on my way.

It took me nearly two hours to get to the ten-foot-tall front doors of PRA after I got on campus. Granted, it wasn't the walk, but stopping and talking with people I knew. Bullies, most of them. When they found out who I was and saw my badge, their humbled and frustrated looks were all the payback I needed for the grief they caused. The younger students kept asking me questions about Dawnfall, and if I knew Centauri. Admittedly, I'd only gotten to spend time with him once the day after Mistress tagged me, but I had spent the entire day talking with him, Toren and Mewick of the original Dawnfall, hearing their stories.

Stepping inside, a lot of memories came flooding back, both good and bad. Koma Rensoluna was still at the information desk, reading the morning news as usual. Beautiful female Ninetales with one hell of a reputation for punishing rule breakers. Granted, Marcus would always point out how envious I was of her looks. I approached the desk with a cautious smile, knowing she was a former member of Team ACT. "Miss Rensoluna, could you tell me what room Professor Enasuna is in?"

She put down her paper, staring at me for a moment. "No... That's not possible. Where did you get a Team Dawnfall badge, miss..."

"Enasuna." I replied, crossing my arms. "Nocti Enasuna, Team Dawnfall under Marigold Waterfang." Marigold was Mari's full first name, but Waterfang was the clan name she secretly took after her abrupt divorce. "I'm a member of the team."

"You're lying." She said sternly, standing up. Admittedly, she was an intimidating six-foot-eight, but I wasn't afraid of her anymore. She couldn't touch me. "First of all, Nocti is male AND missing in action. Second, Team Dawnfall was decommissioned by Ally Tomari. It's a dead team."

I shook my head, laughing slightly. "I'm very much alive and well, thank you. If it weren't for Team Starlight, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you. As for my team, it was re-established by Altair Ezeri a few months ago as a right hand of the gods."

While her face showed a cool demeanor, I could see her signature anger burning in her eyes. With a smirk, I loaded a card into my Omnivice and set it up for a little trick Altair had taught me yesterday. "With all due respect, mam, I think I'll just give you proof. Hen... shin."

With the ancient word for "transform", the card became active and my body started glowing. My red and black-striped fur grew short and turned a soft lavender while everything from my belly area to my groin and tail became a deep purple. My feet lengthened a bit as my toes merged from four to two, and my hands went from five digits to two thick and rounded fingers with a matching thumb. While my lower body became a bit more plump, my upper body thinned out until one could almost see a rib cage. Then, a second tube-like spinal cord formed up into my head, which in turn became completely feline with flat-tipped ears. To finish off, my tail became long and slender with a thick rounded tip, and my eyes turned a glowing purple, becoming brighter as my mind expanded to accept it's incredible psychic powers. Within moments, I went from standing as a hermaphrodite Growlithe, to floating inches off the floor as the legendary psychic god Mewtwo.

Koma didn't know what to think of the event that just happened in front of her. Even her mind was blank, though I could hear the "ooh"s and "aah"s of many speechless students in my head. "Let me re-introduce myself." I said to the area in a masculine tone, using not my physical voice but my mental one. "My name is Nocti Enasuna, Team Dawnfall Reserves. Now, mind telling me where my sister is?"

"Th-th-thirty-three ninety-two, lord Mewtwo." She said, stuttering heavily. I must have really did a number on her if she confused me for the god himself. I nodded to her, briefly glowing again to return to my normal self before walking off to the elevator banks. I had to admit one thing. I finally understood why Mistress told me to keep from abusing my Copycat powers. It wasn't fun.

Once I was on the third floor, I mercifully didn't have to go far to find her classroom. It was the first on the right down the east hallway. That was the odd thing about PRA, as the classrooms were numbered by floor, then wing, then overall room number. I knocked on the door, which was quickly opened by a rather young Houndour student. "I'm sorry, Miss Enasuna is busy with her early morning class."

"Then I'd like permission to view her class until it's over." I replied, pointing to my badge. It was a pretty common request for rescuers to sit in on classes to see how the students are progressing. The student nodded and led me inside, ushering me to a "seat" behind the lecture podium. In a slight act of defiance, I decided to kneel down on the ground and rested my back on a wall.

All of the classrooms were fitted with holographic projectors, used as both a replacement for blackboards and for environmental comfort. Since all of the students in the classroom were Fire types, Fara's room was made to look like a slightly smoldering dormant volcano. The long semi-circle desks were stone slabs running from one wall to the other in a "forum" setting, and all of the chairs were rocks. Even the podium in the center looked like something an old-world priest might have used in a ritual.

The students didn't seem to notice me as I entered, staring intently at the holoscreen floating above Fara's head. Fara herself looked like shi had been doing quite well. Her sleek Arcanine physique seemed even more rugged and feral than ever, with fur that stood on end in some places. She was also a lot more muscular than before, almost on par with Auva's weight-lifter male form. Seemed she started accepting that side too, as her usually wise-looking glasses had been replaced by prescription "Go-Goggles" from Hoenn. You'd think she had been on a mission just before the class started.

I got comfortable as her two hour lecture went on without a single hitch. Of course, I'd heard it all before in my first year, all about controlling flame temperature, width and length, how to create shaped flame "rings" to trap criminals when they appeared, and even a demonstration I never thought I'd see. Somehow, my big sister had learned how to control her flames so well that she turned them into projectiles. It was like watching a Treecko using Bullet Seed, but with more burning and less bruising.

Finally, she let the class go to break for an hour before their next lecture. When everyone was gone, I saw her lean on her podium to rest, though that typical Fara smile-of-death was on her face. She loved her job, and it really showed.

"Well well. I'd heard someone come in." She said, almost sounding like a male with her deep growling voice. Even though she was exhausted, she turned and walked to me. "I hope I'm living up to expectations at headquarters, Miss..."

I got up from my spot with a smile, then grabbed her in a hug. "It's me, sis. It's Nocti."

I didn't need to see her eyes to know how surprised she was. "Oh dear gods... NOC?" Her strong hands pulled me back so she could look me over. "Noc, what in the name of Moltres happened to you? Details, now!"

"Later." I said with a laugh, putting my hands up in mock surrender. "I wanted to see if you were free for a nice dinner somewhere. I even bought a new dress to make it feel a bit more formal."

"NO! No dress." She told me, squeezing me around the shoulders with a lot of care. "You're a rescuer, so we'll eat in uniform. Always wanted to have that with you."

"Alright, alright." My feet finally hit the ground again, letting me sigh with relief. "When are you off?"

"I just got off. I had night classes this week since the dorms had a bit of a party. Gods being homeless sucks." Shi grabbed a backpack from the other side of the chair I had been sitting against and pulled it over her shoulder. "Besides, there's a place I wanted to try if you're up to it. Brand new steakhouse up on the plateau called Barry's."

"Well, I'd kinda hoped to see mom and dad first, but okay." When she stopped dead in her tracks, I knew something was wrong. "What happened?"

"You didn't hear?" Her voice was full of confusion, and a bit of disappointment. "They were executed. Turned into feral murderers after the weird stuff in the human world started. Ally got to 'em with ATK orders about a month ago."

The reality didn't really hit home for a while. I fell to the floor, more out of sheer shock than anything. The fact I'd just lost my abusive father and step-mother really didn't "hurt". Not as much as hearing what had happened to them. That's the last thing I'd want to happen to anyone. Being executed by any rescuer was considered the most painful way to go, even more so than illness. It didn't hurt the body as much as it did the heart.

Even more, they'd been executed by the one person I wanted payback with the most: Ally Tomari. The very Alakazam that tried to kill me and my ex, which started this whole crazy ride for me. He was a cruel, spiteful Pokemorph who cared only about himself. To be honest, hearing that he offed two people who hurt me deeply made me want to take him out even more.

"Anyone else in the family?" I asked, sounding almost like Nemi with my emotionless voice.

"We're the only ones left." __________

Fara helped me walk to the cable car up to the new steakhouse so we could talk more about it, but as I told her, there wasn't much to talk about. The Enazuna clan was virtually dead with just the two of us standing. Aside from the two of us, I had twenty brothers and sisters total, all descendants of my step-mom. It hurt, and it hurt bad.

I didn't even know we'd been seated, but I regained my senses while listening to sis order us both thick sirloins. When the waiter was gone, I put my head on the table, removed my rebreather, and keeping my voice low, started my little tale. "Ally tried to kill me and Marcus back on the Seakara." That first line took her off guard.

Four hours... That's how long I spent telling her absolutely everything I could get the strength to say. Between that, munching on my steak and answering questions, I was surprised I still had a voice.

"Pup, you've been through hell." She said bluntly, eating her sixth sirloin since we arrived. "The fact you could keep from having a complete breakdown is a miracle. Whatever that Nemi did really worked." That was more truth than fiction. "Still, if you're getting adopted by a clan like Ezeri, you need to let the past go. Hell, I'll be honest, it was only a matter of time till they snapped. I figured it was just their time."

"What about you?" I asked, picking at the meat in my plate. "Are you gonna to keep the Enazuna clan name after all of that?"

I thought she was choking at first, but it turned out to be a harsh laugh with her mouth full. "Hell no. I'll figure something out."

There was a bit of awkward silence, then I noticed a voice chat invite in my heads-up display. It was from Mistress. I quickly opened it. "Yes, mam?"

Without my doing anything, my badge somehow became a speaker. "Sorry, Nocti. Your sister doesn't have a Codex, and I needed to say something. Miss Fara Enasuna?"

"Please, just Fara." She said, almost sounding hurt.

"Name's Vega Ezeri. I'm Nocti's mistress. Sorry if I'm intruding, but I was listening in on hunch. Mother's instinct, so to speak." I couldn't help but look away, trying to stifle a chuckle. As bad as I hurt, that joke actually cheered me up a little. "Listen, you're more than welcome in our family. Consider yourself a member of the Ezeris here on Poketara."

Sis smiled, swallowing down the last of her meal. "Thanks, Vega. Good to hear Noc found such amazing people. Now, I've got a good question for both of you. What're you gonna do about Ally? He pretty much killed off a clan with his bare hands."

"Leave him be... for now." Shi replied, sounding somewhat unsettled. "He can't touch you, and Nocti's more than capable of making Ally a little squirming bitch. Even better, he's even more helpless once Noc gets back with the adpotion papers."

"What do you mean 'gets back with the papers'? Can't edit a simple record without help or something?" I looked at hir quickly. "Oh, I'm betting a certain someone didn't tell you. Mari Tomari changed the clan name law on the way out of Pokemon Rescue. Just gotta have access to the right records."

"Thuban, get on that." Mistress blurted out. Shi was likely in Operations at the time. "Well, now I know how she got away with that. Thanks for the tip. Oh, and Noc? I packed an extra civilian Omnivice in your bag. Give it to your sister like the good girl you are." The call ended in hir laughing, sis snickering, and me with my bright red face on the table, hiding it behind my rebreather onces again..

I quickly dug out the wristband Omnivice from my messenger bag and handed it to Fara. "Just put it on. It'll seal to your body."

She did just that, wrapping the flexible gem around her right wrist. It gave an audible beep before sealing itself in place. "OOH! This looks like the new heads-up contacts they're trying out."

"Oh trust me. They're a lot more complex than that." __________

Nocti's journal, now Nocti Ezeri.

I brought sis home with me for a bit of sleep. She's out like a light in the room next to mine. Apparently, she might even move into Breakwater, as she's been sleeping in the teacher's dorms while looking for a stable place to live. She's not overtly sexual persay, but there's apparently plenty of citizens here who're like that anyway.

As for me, I learned something rather valuable today. Revenge sucks, be it giving or receiving. Still, I've been given a lot of closure in my life. My father and step-mother are gone, Altair is now my adopted mother, my last remaining sibling is still my sister under the Ezeri name, I'm dating again... Everything is really starting to turn around for me.

I'm back in Mistress's room while shi gives our new IT guy a nice a new collar to control his Lover's Sacrifice body. Teddy's in here too, dressed in a freshly tagged collar and cuffs while I cuddle him like a plush toy. Actually, I think I'll revise my earlier statement.

I learned something rather valuable today. Who needs revenge when you've got real happiness?
