Voremon, Part 7

VOREMON
The journey continues! In our last episode, our heroes learned about Dragonair's tragically failed attempt to fight off the Vore Lord, and Blackwhite explained to the others about the nature of their and the human world. But they also have encountered what will most likely be one of their most terrible battles yet...a battle against a prey who's become a predator...a battle against an Eevee with a large grudge...
"Do you know WHY I'm here?" Tower Leader Eevee asked, black eyes narrowing at the others as he stood up on his throne. "Do you know WHY I have this power I have?"
"No, but I imagine you are dying to tell us." Lucario remarked, frowning deeply, folding his arms.
"Well, as you know, my family and I lived peacefully in the Valley. We of the Valley Clan are ALL vegetarians and all pacifists...and...thus...we were an easy target for the Vore Lord and his forces. We fought as best we could against them..." The Tower Leader's eyes clouded with memory and he seemed on the verge of genuine tears. "But..."
"But you lost."
"I was able to give my dear brother a chance to run by tackling the Vore Lord himself." Eevee said proudly.
And THAT made our protagonists gape.
"You...tackled the Vore Lord...YOURSELF?" Blackwhite asked, red eyes bugging out.
"Wa-WOW." Umbreon remarked, nodding her head in approval.
"Sucker has guts." Charizard admitted. "Why didn't he just kill you?"
"He said I had "good eyes"." Eevee explained. "He wanted to take a pure soul...to have the incorruptible become the corrupted. To have the pure-hearted become the tainted." Eevee of the Valley Clan lowered his head, eyes shut. "I...had to come along with him as what remained of my family ran. And then the Vore Lord told me that there was a way I could...ENJOY...his services." His eyes snapped open, and a horrible, cruel light filled them. "I could avenge all of my kind...all of us who are preyed upon by predators like YOU!" He said, snarling angrily at Charizard.
Charizard blinked a few times. "Huh?"
"Why ELSE do you think I got so into it? It's to avenge all prey-types. You predatory species SICKEN me. You care nothing for the lives of those you consume! All you care about is putting food in your belly! You ignore our pleading! You pay no heed to our tears! If you had a human trainer, I imagine you'd eat him just because he pissed you off!" Eevee added harshly.
"Eevee, hold on-" Leafeon spoke up, looking heartbroken.
"You just...DON'T... CARE! So I decided to get even. I decided...I was going to take it out on you predators one Pokémon at a time. It would take a while...OH, but it would satisfying. I feel I'm one of Arceus's guardian angels."
"...you poor thing. Revenge has driven you to insanity." Dragonair realized.
"Oh, not quite. I'm quite sane. But you see, I've got another reason for doing this. The Vore Lord plans to tear open a hole in the space-time continuum. He'll be able to go inside the Human World...and at long...long...last...I can fulfill my fantasy of mating with a human."
"Wh-wh-WHAAAAAA?!?" Blackwhite yelled. "He can't go into the human world, you need to stay separate from each other! If you tried to go into that other world you'd throw off the entire balance of good and-"
"PSSH." Eevee raised a paw in the air. "This isn't the kind of place where you can talk about "good and evil". Evil usually triumphs over what you call "good" in this Portal. Anybody who tells you differently is trying to sell you something."
"The words of a cynic." Dragonair spoke sadly, shaking her head.
"Ah, but I CAN'T ignore my sense of fair play." Eevee admitted as he stood up and they saw white, angelic wings raise him into the air. "Here's the deal!" He explained to them all as he floated through the air. "I'm going to deposit all of you within a very special area...an area based of your own fears. Fight through them and you can do what you will to me. Though I doubt you'll win. But who knows? I may show mercy...I may let you fly away if you want to..."
His mouth opened and a circular orb of dark blue light with purple lightning sparkling along the edges formed at the front of his maw. The surging blast launched forward, growing in size and encompassing them all. They felt a huge, cold hand grip their bodies firmly, tightening...
And then...
Darkness.
...

...Umbreon lay in a boiling lake, trying to paddle her way to freedom. Charizard desperately tried to free himself from the grip of ice on all sides. Leafeon wept, surrounded on all sides by dead family. Lucario tried to withstand a harshly-blowing wind as he clung to the walls of a mountain.
Dragonair was saddened as she and Blackwhite looked at each other. They were in a land composed of some kind of strange, pulsing flesh. There were tightly-wound cobwebs all around with small spiders hanging in the air as a warm, but foul wind blew. Despite its warmth, it chilled their hearts.
"How come you and I are here together?" Dragonair asked.
"I imagine we share similar "hearts"." He informed her. "Our senses of justice and compassion are alike." The plushie sighed. "But...I'm glad you're here. YOU can break us out of here. Ask me to aid you."
"Very well. Blackwhite, I ask thee...break me free of this so that I may..." She gulped at the sound of clicking...the clicking of enormous mandibles. "Break us free of this and return us to the Tower Leader!" She begged, eyes widening at the sight of an enormous Ariados, who sneered at them as it scuttled towards him.
"It is DONE." Blackwhite said, holding up a claw and tearing a hole open in the air. WOOSH! They were sucked in with the strengthened wind and deposited before a surprised-looking Eevee, who gaped at the sight of them appearing.
"What? You're...here? How?" He asked.
"I can do ANYTHING the good can ask of me!" Blackwhite insisted, holding up his fist. "And now you're going to PAY for what you've done! Dragonair, stand back. You and the others have had your fill of Tower Leaders. It's time I did the same!"
Eevee looked up at the sky.
It had been so long. So very...very long since he'd cast that spell. Since he'd used that ability to...
And now he could sense somebody was making their move to rip it apart. But...perhaps it was only fair. Perhaps it was just...time.
The Tower Leader gasped in horror at the being before him that now grew in size. Bulging muscles formed...a vaguely reptilian snout sprang out from the face, with burning eyes like hot fire, seeking to crush his very soul. The claws and nubby talons on his feet elongated and thickened as the horns and halo grew wider and taller, and the tail lashed upon the ground. Four sets of wings, two made of purest black and in the form of a bat whilst two others, pure and angelic in form, sprang from his body as a brilliantly burning red heart insignia appeared on the now-transformed plushie's chest.
"Nooooo..." The Tower Leader gasped as he staggered back.
Blackwhite licked his lips. "It's time." He said, bringing his head down upon the Eevee, opening his mouth. For a moment the Tower Leader stood looking into the maw and strained to see how far down the throat he could view. Then soon he was lying halfway into the great beast's mouth, a burningly-harsh tongue tasting Eevee's face. Blackwhite lifted his head and tilted it slightly back so that the Eevee could slide down easily.
The inside of the monster's mouth was as hot as his tongue had been, and Eevee began to feel sweat seeping from her every pore. He could feel his furry legs dangling to either side of the mouth as she whimpered in fear.
"Oh, NOW you fear your fate." Blackwhite's voice echoed in his mind. "You brought this on yourself. Every day you had a chance to stop yourself. If you had sought to make amends for what you did, to apologize to those you hurt, I would have spared you. But I can see the females you freely indulged in, the lack of regret in your heart. You will die in my belly's pit."
He lifted the evee with his tongue until the Eevee's head brushed against the top of his mouth. Suddenly his tongue rolled back, forcing the Eevee's legs apart and he began to take in the rest of her, the undulation of the tongue muscles rubbed against his belly. Soon Eevee felt the muscles contracting and he began descending into the esophagus. It seemed to the Tower Leader that he was rather a perfect fit as his shoulders moved easily down into the waiting dark cavern.
He was covered with the transformed plushie's spit, his sweat, and was on the verge of wetting himself, poor thing. Luckily all of this helped lubricate him as his head began to enter the throat. His belly now slid over the rim of Blackwhite's throat and he could feel gravity beginning to assist the swallowing. His behind was now up against one side of the opening while his tender arms were squeezed against the other. All the time the gently undulating muscles moved him closer to the chamber of the belly of the beast.
Blackwhite lifted his head and made a mighty swallow, to allow the meal that had once been a tower leader to slip into his gut. In that instant Eevee suddenly felt as if he was entering a whirpool, and began spinning down a slimy tunnel into a world of wet warmth...down further and further until-
WHOOMP-PLOOSH. Deposited within a liquid-filled, cushiony room. Blackwhite's size began to shrink and he patted his bulging stomach, making a long, deep sigh. It was frankly RIDICULOUS how enormous his belly looked in comparison to the rest of his body.
POOF! The others were suddenly dropped into the room and they all landed with a crash, moaning and groaning as they staggered up.
"What happened?" Leafeon wanted to know.
"The plushy...ate the Tower Leader." Dragonair said, pointing with her tail at the enormous bulging belly of Blackwhite, who patted his stomach.
"Get a good look, Charizard." Lucario warned the dragon as Charizard frowned deeply. "Because if you're not careful...that will become YOU one day...a being obsessed with revenge and getting even, willing to destroy even his closest friends to get what he wishes."
"Like that pussy, Sasuke." Umrbeon agreed.
"Aw, c'mon, I don't think he's a-" Blackwhite began.
" PUSSY!" Umbreon insisted.
BRAAAAP! Blackwhite burped, and suddenly...a hand popped out of his mouth. But...it was not an ordinary hand. It was...the hand of a greenish doll. A...
A Substitution Doll! But the hand did not lay still. It twitched for a few moments before finally dissolving away.
"It was...an enchanted doll?" Blackwhite realized. "With the memories, personality and form of the REAL Tower Leader?" He gasped.
"Then...where's the REAL Tower Leader?" Leafeon murmured. "Where is my brother?"
...
...
...
...Eevee looked up into the blue skies as his black eyes glittered. He turned around to glance at the other Pokémon that had been rescued and sighed slightly. He almost wanted to stay there...but no. You were supposed to have only one second chance in life. And this was his second one. It was time he did something right with it.
You call me to tell me you're sorry...but you're movin' away with the day! I'll be alright without you...you weren't that good to me anyway! You promise that it's not about me...though I gave you everything! And you don't wanna live without me...but you don't wanna tangle me in your kite-strings-
Flyyyyyy away if you want to!
I would never try to hold you down! You can flyyyy away if you want to! Just don't crash on me...
When you hit the ground!
Don't pretend that you're crying...when you're halfway to somebody else! I don't need to know all the details...you can keep them to yourself!
Flyyyyyy away if you want to!
I would never try to hold you down! You can flyyyy away if you want to! Just don't crash on me...
When you hit the ground!
You can come around if you want to...I don't care! Your lying eyes won't save you...not like they used to!
I'm lookin' through you!
Dragonair looked out the window, suddenly making the connection as she smiled slightly. "C'mon...let's destroy this tower." She told the others. "And don't worry about Eevee." She said, turning to Leafeon. "Something tells me that he'll be just...just fine." She mused with a small smile, nodding.
You can flyyy...away if you want to...
I would never try to bring you down.
You can flyyy...away if you want to...
Just don't crash on me...
Don't crash on me-
FLY!
Away if you want to!
Flyyyyyy away! Away if you want to!
Flyyyyyy away! Flyyyyyy away!
Just don't' crash on me, don't crash on me!
Flyyy away if you want to! Just don't' crash on me, don't crash on me!
Flyyy away if you want to!
Flyyyy awaaaaaaay...
And so, Eevee of the Valley Clan escapes from both his old life and his new, to go out and find a new path in the world as the others finish destroying this new tower. But what new challenges will await them come the dawn? Will the Vore Lord succeed in reaching the human world? Only time will tell...
