#4 of Izer's Life revised

Wow, realy!? Two posts in as many weeks? Yea! I have been working almost non-stop to get this done. I Again added a tone of details, descriptions, and corrected allot of names. I'm very happy with this, and will hopefully get the next chapter out if not as quick as this one, but at least in the next week or so.

as usual (c) To me


The Jeep ride was uncomfortable, and Izer kept getting his tail crushed by the seat he was sitting on. Pulling up to the Military base Izer was pushed out roughly landing face first in the mud on the side of the road. He groaned and got up scraping himself off before walking inside. The military base's reception room interior was impressive, there was plenty of seating which all sat on dark rugs, and plants in every corner. The floor was tiled with mock marble with a deep sapphire blue grouting between the tiles. One wall was cut away to make the receptionist who was wearing a formal military uniform. The wall to the left had a display cabinet which contained pictures of the top generals and their names, and allot of posters about wanting people to volunteer for the armed forces. There were some trophy's in a cabinet close to the door showing off the fact that this particular training base was one of, if not the best in the forces. Izer walked up to the counter slowly trying not to drip mud on the clean, polished floor. The receptionist was kind of pretty, well groomed, her blonde hair in a ponytail, fingernails painted with ruby red polish that matched her lipstick.

"E...excuse me" he said a little fearful

"Hello, may I help you?" She answered looking up at him

"Y..Yes ma'am" he Answered sharply "I'm Izer, I was recently purchased to work for the military"

"Ah another slave" she said standing up and straightened her top "And just what state do you call this?" he jumped as she gestured to him, his belly swiftly going to blue

"I...I'm sorry Ma'am I.."

"Arriving covered in mud! Dripping it everywhere!" She gestured behind him making him look to the muddy paw prints he left and then walked around the desk to be in front of him "How Disgraceful! You Pathetic slave!" He whimpered loudly but didn't move as she approached. She held a ruler in her hand, and raised it to strike him as punishment only to have her arm grabbed.

"Corporal!" A Deep male voice said from behind her "What is the meaning of this ruck-us?"

"G...General? Sir!" she quickly saluted and stepped to face him "I was about to punish this slave for his disgraceful appearance"

"Really now...?" he trailed off looking to Izer "What's your name?" he was tall, although not very fit, he had a developing belly, and a chunky cigar hanging out of the side of his mouth. His uniform was neat, and on each shoulder was a pair of gold stars to show his rank, each one gleaming from being polished.

"I...Izer Sir" Izer jumped a little when he asked

"Let me guess, your driver was a Sargent Leroy?" He asked now walking round him like he was inspecting a piece of meat

"Y...Yes sir"

"He pushed you out of the Jeep didn't he?" Izer whimpered softly fearing punishment if he didn't tell or even if he did

"Y...Yes sir" Izer admitted lowering his head

"And these marks" The general cleared away some mud from Izer's side making him flinch "Did he hit you with anything, and if so what did it do?"

"Yes sir he did... he pushed something against my side there... it was so painful, like everything was on fire... I couldn't move and then I collapsed and still couldn't move"

"I thought as much" The general gave a smile to Izer then turned to look at the Receptionist "Given that information what would your assumption be?"

"Standard hand Taser Sir" she said sharply and informatively

"Correct, Although it is not standard procedure to carry one off base, and definitely not when bringing in new recruits or even on one" He said with a smile "Also, this is the ninth time a slave has arrived in this fashion. Inform Leroy that i intend to file disciplinary charges"

"Yes sir" she said saluting

"Now you Have Izer here escorted to the medical bay for treatment before he commences training" She saluted again and the general clamped a hand on Izer's shoulder "You may be a slave young man, But we still have regulations and procedures that should prevent this from happening again" he smiled to Izer, getting a smile in return before he walked off.

Basic training was brutal, but Izer had passed so far with flying colour's, along with the rest of the people in his unit. Push-ups, chin-ups, ten mile jogs, snap inspections, parade duty, weapons training, hand-to-hand combat, the obstacle course, it was all difficult and strained him to the brink. Although for the first few months he would break down when yelled at by the drill instructor. Luckily after explaining to the medics his reason why, who explained it to his instructors who in turn agreed to be a little more easy than usual with him. He was the youngest and the only slave of the platoon. The others, ranging between nineteen to twenty five, watched out for him making sure he kept up. Two years flew past, and they all got closer as friends. He was the only Seahorse Lizard in the whole group, the rest being female humans. They apparently placed them together because Izer wouldn't try to fuck them, and the simple fact that female humans carried the baby's just as he did . He usually didn't shower with them, often too embarrassed to show off his body to the girls.

"No Objections today" Tanya, the leader of the group said firmly "They said we only have a little while to shower, so you haft to shower with us today" Tanya wasn't exceptionally tall, but she carried herself with authority, she had jet black hair in a pony tail, deep green eyes and several tattoos from before she joined the forces.

"But Tanya" Izer groaned "You know i don't like to shower with you guys"

"Well its time to get over that" Jess, one of the other girls said "I, and the other girls don't want to miss out on dinner just because you were embarrassed" Jess was tall, skinny, blond and fair skinned. It surprised Izer that she had joined, or even lasted this long. She was kind almost to a fault and if Izer was honest to himself, her personality didn't fit in in the military.

"C'mon Short Stuff Time to put a shine in those scales!" Lisa said loudly and picked him up, throwing him over her shoulder. Lisa was the tallest of the group with sun bleached hair with dark roots, amber eyes and built like 'a brick shit house' according to the others. They had told her this to her face and she now openly accepted the nickname of 'Brick-shit'. She was kind and gentle but exceptionally strong, something she forgot from time to time which got her into trouble. The others laughed as she carried him, kicking and struggling into the shower room.

"Think fast!" She said "clothes on or off?"

"Off!" He called and she placed him down. He was set upon by the whole group of them who stripped him off while he struggled to break free. When he did finally break free, they had allowed him to and had aimed him into the showers now nude.

"You don't have anything that we haven't seen before" Tanya said stripping herself

"Yeah but..." he started and was swiftly tackled by Jess who had stripped off while they were stripping him. She rolled with him into the wall making a few things fall off of the shelves.

"What was that for?" He asked irritably

"Time to shower women!" Tanya called loudly as she and the others walked in.

The shower was uncomfortable for Izer , he didn't like showering with them, part of him still recognized that they were females, and that thought attracted him even if only slightly. Jayne, one of the other girls, assisted him with washing, scrubbing his back for him while he did his front. Jayne wasn't as tall as Jess or Lisa, but not as short as Tanya. She had a no nonsense approach to most things. With Deep blue eyes and Fiery red hair, she was often cracking jokes whenever she could, and had been the one who had smuggled in the monty python movies for them to watch during off hours. they had come to call her 'Matchstick' as an on the field nick name, which she enjoyed immensely and almost took to heart with her exceptional grenade throwing skills. She grabbed his tail and scrubbed firmly with the brush getting all of the loose scales off to expose the shiny new ones beneath. The girls chatted amongst themselves, Trying to include Izer when possible in their conversation. He paid attention, but only spoke when he was offered a question as he just didn't ave the life experience to keep up with what they were saying. At some point they asked him about his past, and while upset about it, he offered the information willingly. He finished his shower before they did, but instead of leaving the room he moved to the dry area and dried off then grabbed his polishing towel, using it to buff his scales to a high sheen. The girls watched as they talked, giggling every so often when he worked on the scales close to his crotch.

They put on their dress uniforms, Izer's being virtually identical to the normal except his cadet insignia had the slave mark on it that matched the brand on his shoulder, and a badge on his chest of the same thing. He didn't have boots, finding them too uncomfortable he instead wore leather ankle cuffs which he had to buff and polish like the girls had to with their shoes. Instead of wearing trousers that would go down to his toes, he wore a pair of three quarter dress shorts that went to his knees. He stood up and straightened himself out, looking in the mirror to make sure it was all correctly placed. He joined the others once they had finished and they walked together as a unit, altho not in formation, to the mess hall for dinner.

"Ladies first" Izer said opening the door and holding it, the others laughed and walked through. He smiled and went to walk in but was quickly shoved and tumbled to the floor.

"Out of the way Slave trash" a large muscled man said shoving him with his leg

"OI!" Tanya called turning to face him "That's enough!"

"Its only a slave, It shouldn't get in the way of a freeman!" The male responded rudely "Just because he is in the armed forces doesn't mean i should to treat him like hes one of us!"

"How Dare You!" Tanya responded loudly walking over to look him in the eye

"ENOUGH" the yell was sudden and terrifying, their Commanding officer, Captain Kendo walked over and Izer scurried to his feet to salute. The man was tall and was referred to as the 'Lion of Basic' for his facial hair and personality altho he was nice to Izer and the female cadets.

"Sir!" They all said salting to him, Izer was smacked in the face hard by the male who had shoved him earlier causing Izer's nose to start bleeding from the force.

"I Said Enough Cadet!" The captain boomed stepping to be face to face with him "He may be a slave, But he is a member of these armed forces and you WILL treat him with respect!"

"But Sir..." He started.

"If he is to be punished for anything it will be by a SUPERIOR OFFICER! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?" it sounded like he had roared the last line making them all cringe a little.

"SIR Yes Sir" came the response although angrily.

"Good, Consider yourself on report! If i hear ANY word of you touching a slave on this base again, ill make YOU one!" The captain turned to walk off, handing Izer a handkerchief after seeing blood start to drip from his muzzle, thankfully not onto his uniform "Clean yourself up Cadet, your platoon is Serving in the officers mess in ten"

"Yes sir, Thank you sir" Izer responded "Ill get this back to you once it has been laundered" he pressed the cloth to his nose and the captain nodded before walking to the officers mess.

"Are you ok?" Lisa asked as Izer and Tanya walked up

"Yeah I'm ok" he reported with a soft sigh "Just a little shook up, i thought i was past all of this sort of crap"

"You'll be fine" Jess said reassuringly as they now continued walking to the officers mess. They saluted the Senior officers as they walked in, all of the generals were there, and quite a few others, even the five star general. General Sherman Emerson Steel head of all operations, head of the illustrious Steel family who had served for ten generations, a Seahorse Lizard like Izer and an Ex-slave as well. Izer felt some sense of pride and a little intimidation from him being here. He rarely came out of his office and usually ate meals there, altho there were rumors that he was personally keeping an eye on Izer for some reason. It was going to be a long busy dinner. They walked through to the galley and Izer felt the eyes of General Steel on him as he walked through and finished mopping his face. he grabbed a plate of hors d'oeuvres and held them carefully aloft as he had been shown by Giles, and the instructors as walked out to the main room where the heads were all talking to each other. Tanya followed close behind carrying tray of soft yellow and gentle bubbling champagne in spotless flute glasses.

"Cadet Izer, What happened to you?" General Aidan Smith, the general he first ever encountered and who preferred to use his last name, asked gently grabbing his face to look at him. Izers eyes darted to look at Tanya who looked back shaking her head slowly. General Aidan Smith was the tallest person Izer had ever encountered. Six foot Eight, and Brimming with muscles, people liked to say that you couldn't beat him at an arm wrestling contest with a tank on your side. He had Short Black hair, and deep blue eyes which Izer had only ever seen when the General was sitting down. He occasionally had a cigar hanging from his mouth when he wasn't at his desk.

"Cadet?" Major Andrew, a military tactics expert asked and Captain Kendo walked over.

"Sorry sir, he was roughed up by one of the other Cadets, Said cadet has now been reprimanded"

"Good, I'm sick of seeing reports of the Slaves being mistreated" General Smith said taking a vol-Au-vent from Izer's tray. Kendo went to take one, but feigned indecision, using it as a way to keep Izer around, and the subject on him and slavery.

"Why don't we change some of the rules and policies then?" Kendo Said "even if its just the wording, the rule about punishment needs some correcting if you ask me"

"How do you mean?" Major Andrew asked grabbing a canapé from Izer's Trey

"Izer, what is the current Regulation on Slave punishment within the military?" Kendo asked with a smile drawing all attention to the cadet.

"Regulation S-Nineteen, All slave punishments are only to be carried out by their superiors, Sir" He recited the regulation almost as if he had written it himself and Kendo smiled.

"Good Boy!" He said like he was talking to a pet dog making the others laugh and then pushed a Salmon and prawn canapé into Izer's maw "Here's a treat!"

"I don't see how that needs be re-worded" General Steel said wandering over and chuckling as he watched Izer try to chew discreetly on the mouthful he had just been given "Chew and swallow Cadet"

"The problem is that all the instances i have ever encountered when it comes to the mistreatment of a slave in the armed forces, is because the one who does it,thinks that they have a right because THEY are superior to a slave" Kendo reported a little irritably "I've even seen a Cadet beat a sergeant because he thought he was the superior, just for the reason that they are a freeman, not a slave so they thought they could get away with it"

"Hmm, i see what you mean" Captain Mix, another training instructor said eves dropping in the conversation. Mix was an interesting one, and everyone enjoyed having lessons with him. He usually insisted that they called him 'Mixxy' and he tried to live up to his name, and often threw in curve ball questions and challenges just to 'Mix' it all up, he was a Seahorse Lizard, and had been lucky enough to avoid being turned into a slave.

"Maybe if we just had the word 'officer' added after the 'superior' part it would clear some of it up" Steel said grabbing a glass from Tanya as she walked up.

"If i may sir" Izer pipped up drawing their attention

"Yes go ahead" Steel said being the highest ranking officer

"May i also recommend the addition of regulations against mistreatment of slaves sexually sir" He said trying not to cower away from the steely gaze of all of those around him.

"How so?" Mix asked looking a tad confused

"I get allot of... looks, and glances when I'm in the mess tent or just out on the field training. I also hear allot of people who whisper about wanting to...Use me Sir"

"I Know what you mean" Mix said "I get the same treatment occasionally, If you ever think you need to, you can come seek me out, even if I'm in a Training session"

"Ill Get the regulation added" Steel announced "From Now on, any sexual actions taken against a slave without their consent is punishable by Immediate dishonourable Discharge"

"That's a Steep punishment" Smith said "BUT it sounds fair to me, id rather not serve with anyone who would sexually abuse someone like Cutey here" he poked Izer's nose and he meeped. If he could he would have blushed, the rest all laughed.

The rest of the night went well from then on. Izer and the other girls served dinner a few minutes latter, and then went out to have their own once they had served the deserts.

"You all terrifically did well" Tanya said sitting next to Izer "Especially you Izer"

"Thanks" he said with a smile and a mouthful of his dinner

"I didn't know you knew the regulations on slaves that well" Jess said looking at him from across the table while she munched on her own food.

"I decided to memories them" Izer admitted "i thought that they may save me at some point in the future"

"I didn't know you were getting looks or getting comments like that tho" Tanya admitted "Next time you hear something like that tell me who it was and well have Lisa beat them up"

"Hoorah!" Lisa called fist pumping the air and they all chuckled.

"I found out why Steel likes you so much" Jess piped up when they had finished laughing

"Oh? Why is that?" Izer asked interested

"You are his personal slave" she reported and Tanya gave her a light smack to the arm

"That's not possible, there are no personal slaves in the military" Tanya said forcing another fork of food into her mouth

"I know, but apparently he used his own money to purchase him! And had sent his own secretary to do the auction to do it"

"Makes sense" Izer finally pipped up "i am somewhat of a collectors item apparently. I wouldn't be surprised if I was taken from you girls after basic to become his Personal assistant"

The weekend coming was their final exercise before graduation. It was a Live fire exercise with another platoon. They were fighting against targets not people, and had to rescue a hostage that was held within a bunker about two kilometres away from the starting position all within a set time limit and with minimal casualty s.

"How do you think they will do? Think they will make it?" General Smith asked sitting down with captain Kendo, and Majors Mix and Andrew as the judging panel that doubled as the surveillance system for the field.

"Not a chance" Andrew said with a smile "They wont make it"

"No one ever has" Mix said with a chuckle "we designed it to be virtually unbeatable"

"Well there was that once" Smith said with a chuckle

"Who want to make Bets?" Kendo asked with a smile "Twenty to one that they make it"

"Five to one they don't" Mix said chuckling again and Kendo nodded "Alright Your on!"

"Remember your training" Tanya said "and we may just make it through this!"

"And when your training fails you, be creative, and if that fails, be reckless" Lisa said with a smile and a chuckle.

"Lets do this!" Tanya yelled and they all filed into formation. Izer was at the front, the sad thing about slaves was that they are cannon fodder, to protect those who come after them. More often than not they end up being more effective than usual troops as they will do almost anything to keep themselves and their colleagues safe. They moved carefully deactivating traps as they went, knowing that the other platoon that was supposed to join them shouldn't be too far away. They were supposed to meet up before heading to the stronghold but for some odd reason they never showed up even after thirty minutes.

"Ok Ladies Lets move on were on the clock" Tanya said directing them to the left side of the stronghold. It was a single floor solid concrete structure, no windows, only one door in. it was covered in pop marks from past gunfire and repeated use. They almost got all the way to it before they were spotted by one of the target drones who started shooting tagging rounds. Specially made paint rounds that act like normal bullets. Designed to cause severe pain and discomfort, they were not lethal but recorded impact position and would inform the squad of any injury's that would result from it should it have been a real injury.

"Can anyone get a beat on that target?" Tanya called and they all looked carefully around their covers or trees or large boulders to see it was quickly getting company. Izer didn't know what he was doing till he was doing it. He ran at them, gun drawn and trigger pulled, and he soon had fired half a clip and taken out twelve target dummy's. He pressed his back against the wall of the concrete structure panting and saw the awestruck looks from the girls.

"What?"

"Well that was unexpected" General Smith said sipping his coffee "I Love watching finals, its Way better then any sports game"

"Where Is the other platoon?" Mix asked confused and looking at the fields surveillance system to find them

"Not sure" Andrew admitted "They should be there somewhere, they were supposed to meet up, this will make things tricky for the girls"

"They will manage" Kendo said with a grin "They have Izer with them after all"

"True, but I didn't think that that little lizard would be capable of something like that" Andrew said and Mix chuckled

"You've never read the records then have you?" Mix said with a smile "Izer has most likely made a bond with the girls, and when seahorse lizards make a bond we will do almost astounding feats of super human like strength to protect them"

"Almost all of our base records were set by seahorse Lizards" Smith said with a smile "in fact, the first and only group of people to ever complete this Test had a seahorse Lizard with them"

"Yep" Mix said grabbing his mug of coffee before resting back into his chair "I still cant remember everything i did"

They slowly walked up the side of the building towards the door. Izer had a quick look to count numbers.

"Ten in total, two hostages" he said to Tanya who nodded

"Ready?" She asked and they nodded

"Ready" They all responded

"GO!" As she said this Izer was already moving, almost by instinct gun drawn. The girls rushed to keep up with him. He took out five before the target drones had ducked which were Quickly picked off by the others.

"Grab the hostages" Tanya said "Izer protect them at all costs, this isn't over yet" Izer nodded and they slowly moved out of the building and headed towards the tree line. Picking off target drones as they went.

"THAT'S far enough" A male voice boomed and they stopped well within the tree line.

"Who.." Tanya started before the Male platoon leader walked out from behind cover

"We'll take them now" he said demanding "We Cant have a bunch of girls show up Men now can we?"

"How dare you!" Lisa called getting ready to slap him, she gasped as one of them pointed a gun at her.

"Silence woman" Izer recognized this one, It was the Cadet from several days earlier. He was pointing his gun at them and Izer whimpered softly.

"Tanya, i recognize that gun" he said fearfully "That's a BL Seven-Seven-three"

"A blade launcher?" She grumbled "Those are illegal!" it was a menacing sight. Blade launchers were more dangerous than the assault rifles they were carrying. Know for instantly killing, or critically wounding anyone they were pointed at, they had a reputation of the gun for morons as they were easy to aim and had almost no recoil.

"And what are you going to do about it?" He asked with a grin

"He wont Fire"Jess said "if they killed us, they wouldn't get away with it, Lets go" she started walking pulling the two Hostage drones with her.

"STOP" he called pointing his gun at her but she didn't "I SAID STOP!" He pulled the trigger, and before Izer knew it, he had jumped and pushed Jess and the two Drones to the soft grassy ground.

He groaned a little face down on the floor, having felt a sharp pain on his arms and across his belly, that was gone now replaced by a warm wet throb. Tanya, Lisa and the other girls gave loud screams and he shifted to look to see if Jess of the Drones had been injured.

"MEDIC!" Tanya Screamed grabbing her radio "Emergency! Man DOWN! I repeat MAN DOWN, request emergency evac and medical assistance! Terminate Scenario! Repeat Terminate Scenario!" Smith couldn't believe what he was hearing from the radio or the red puddle starting to appear from the cameras blind-spot, and Izer, still couldn't understand what was wrong. He groaned softly and was then rolled over by Jess who placed cloths against his belly and pressed firmly. That's when he saw the blood everywhere and a few feet away was...

"A...are those my...My arms!?" He cried seeing the two appendages, from just above his elbows laying on the ground not far away one of them twitching slightly still.

"Evac and Medical personnel are on the way Simulation Terminated, Squad Leader Tanya Report the situation" Kendo said through the Radio.
