FOREWORD:

What you are about to read (I hope) is a creative writing project based on the Spiderman Unlimited cartoon from the 1999- 2000 television season.

The cartoon and the comic book it was based on took place in an alternate reality on which planet Earth or in this case, Counter Earth was ruled by an extraterrestrial dictator and his creations.

Unlike the planet Earth that we know today, the dictator's creations- beastials became the dominant life forms on the planet. Together with his beastial creations, the dictator constructed a beautiful, magnificent utopian civilization comprised of five cities which benefited the select few and privileged. (It wasn't perfect, but hey, what place is?)

Who were the select few and privileged? Not humanity. The indigenous humans that populated the planet were made into second class citizens and were oppressed under the dictator and his beastials- many lived in abject poverty, were deprived of economic opportunity due to restrictions placed on travel, education, employment, rights, dignity and freedom.

The thirteen episodes of the series dealt with Spiderman's attempt to free the oppressed humans of this world and his attempts to get back to his own reality. Added to the mix were Venom and Carnage who were trying to take over the planet and John Jameson Jr. who with his band of rebels were trying to liberate it and put an end to the dictator's tyranny.

I have always been fascinated by this dynamic series and the many concepts and themes that were presented within it- battle of the classes, good versus evil, species inequality, furries versus humans etc. But mostly the furries.

The following story series was inspired by the TV series. It takes place around the same time frame depicted in the cartoon. It will feature humor, horror, terror, fear, despair, adventure, sex and adventurous sex but not for the sake of fan service; rather it will fall into the context of the story and much like life, it will happen when it happens.

The main character of this series is Alex Winter an inadvertent immigrant from another world who keeps finding himself in the middle of extraordinary circumstances and situations. The following stories (fifty-seven chapters, with more on the way) chronicles his life and times as a resident of Counter Earth. This is his story, told by him in his own words.


Last Chapter-

Alex is given the results of his physical (he flunked his blood test) and is sent to a holding cell for safe keeping. After bonding with his jailer, the two lunched together before being rudely interrupted by some defective science experiments....

Counter Earth Chronicles

Chapter 4: The Visitor

Day 2 continued

(Two days and two friends not bad for this terrified refugee).

No sooner had I thought that, Tauren grabbed me and and my some how undamaged PDA and took me to his personal shower.

"Uh, Tauren are we going to bathe together?" I asked upon our arrival.

"Listen up little human, since we are now friends- I am going to introduce you to one of the many customs we beastials have- communal bathing." The bull said.

"Huh?!" I stammered.

Tauren continued, "Communal bathing symbolizes friendship, affection and promotes socialization. In short, it reenforces several of the master's laws among his creations. Besides, Lea said that you have a cute butt and I very much like to see it!" The bull added.

I suspect he wanted to thank me for saving his life but I did not say anything.

"Oh by the way, you should leave your PDA here on the bench." He said.

"But how will we communicate?" I asked. "I don't understand your language nor do you understand mine."

"That will be something we will also have to work on communication across barriers." He responded.

With that, he then gently picked me up, draped me over his shoulder and carried me into his personal shower- I guess I didn't have any say in the matter.

Tauren's- personal shower was no frills- a wide stall comprised of a shower head, controls, door and some type of foam soap dispenser. The bull gently disrobed not that he had anything much on to begin with, and then he motioned me to do the same which I reluctantly did; I left my clothes on a bench near the shower stall and then stepped in. He stepped in behind me and gently guided me toward the shower head. Once we were both in, he closed the door and activated the shower which sprayed a light mist getting both of us just damp enough to apply some liquid foam form the dispenser.

Despite the weird circumstances, I was happy to receive a shower- I hadn't bathed since arriving at Wundagore Castle.

Tauren started first. The bull collected a large pile of foam from the dispenser and started applying it at my feet and ankles- slowly making his way up my legs to my thighs, stomach, chest and back. I did tense up at first. Seeing that I was uneasy, the minotaur embraced me placing his head on my left shoulder- his reassurance that this wasn't a rape.

Tauren's motions were quite gentle and it felt more like a gentle message than a lathering. I did notice during the lather, that he skipped my rump and genitals- I guess he was saving those for later.

Having me in this compromised position, he returned to the dispenser to get another pile of liquid foam and continued the lathering. This time focusing on my genitals. He gently gripped my scrotum with one paw while he lathered my penis and its shaft with the other. The he beast found my penis quite interesting to look at because of its bulbous head which was quite different than his as I would soon find out.

He continued on to my rump which he paid extra special attention to- most likely examining its cuteness as he squeezed and lathered it and lathered it some more. He then ran his paw straight through my buttocks to my anus which he promptly put a paw tip in- carefully cleaning it.

The sudden invasion caused me to jump. When I did, the bull increase his grip on my chest and snorted into my left ear to calm me down. When he finished lathering, he released me from his embrace and moved in front of me and crouched.

After the sensual soaping I had just received, I concluded these beastials were quite affectionate toward each other more so than any humans I had ever known. When the bull stepped in front of me I received a great view of that magnificent rump complete with its wispy tail. I couldn't wait to lather it up or to do the same to his genitals- I was quite interested to see how he looked 'down there'.

Like he had done to me, I started at Tauren's hooves working my way up to the mane on his neck, back and shoulders in a sensual lathering massage, excluding his genitals and rump. I left that for last. When I did get to his penis and scrotum, I was surprised to see that his genitals weren't quite that of a bull, not quite that of a human either- but a combination of both. His testicles were much larger than mine and swollen- as if he hadn't had sex in a few days. His penis was somewhat larger than mine also. It's head wasn't bulbous as a human's but rather straight and pointy. Suffice to say whether he was deprived of sex or just big- he was well hung.

I also got to lather that magnificent rump. I even found the courage to stick a finger in his tail-star as well to make sure it was clean. He snorted when I did this though.

After lathering I was expecting to rinse and quickly dry off. But the he beast had other plans. A sensual release; the bull moved back behind me squeezing my butt in the process. He then returned his head back to my shoulder and gently grabbed my testicles with one paw and my penis in another and started masturbating me right there in the shower! More simulated sex. I didn't tense up, but just relaxed and let him have his way with me. It didn't take long for that familiar tickle to return; it started at my testes and quickly worked its way to the tip of my shaft. "OH!!!" Before I realized it the minotaur was painting the shower wall with my goo.

He gently held me until I came down from my orgasm and back to my senses. It was then he bade me to do the same to him! Carefully he guided my hands to his package and I commenced masturbating this magnificent beastial specimen.

I made sure my motions mimicked his- gentle and quick as, I did not want to harm him. From what I could tell; he was enjoying my administrations very, very, very much. He lifted his head towards the ceiling eyes closed and started snorting profusely. It wasn't long before I felt his testicles contract!

(This bull was going to cum and cum hard!)

No sooner had I thought that- he mooed loudly - sounding more like an enraged heard of cattle and started firing his seed at the shower wall where it landed in globs upon globs of white goo- surpassing what I placed there only moments before! I gently embraced the bull while waiting for him to come down from his orgasm. When he finally did, we took our communal shower- Which on reflection was my first, if not best I had experienced in my life.

But the minotaur wasn't done yet. He insisted on drying me off after we had finished. I complied and then returned the favor. I was also intrigued by the whole experience as well and wondered if it was indeed true that this was how other furries bathed.

While we were dressing back in the vicinity of my PDA, I had a million questions about the experience we had just shared.

"So what did you think?" He asked

"Nice custom- Is that how all beastials bathe?" I asked.

"No, not all," he replied. "While communal bathing is a sensual physical experience, the messing around part at the end was my own personal interpretation."

Upon hearing that, I blushed. Once again I had simulated sex with a bestial. This time it was a male.

A peculiar thought crossed my mind- "Tauren do you have a thing for males?" I asked.

He blushed as he responded. "Yes. err, both actually. I like females and males equally." He replied. "Oh which reminds me..."

"What?" I asked.

The minotaur then reached down and gave me a great big bear hug. "Thank you human for saving my life back there." I was taken aback by both his words and actions.

"That's ok," I responded. "A simple thank you would have sufficed."

"I thought I told you before- I take special care of my prisoners."

Special care indeed as I was his only prisoner. The more dangerous individuals were locked up in the dungeon.

By the time we had completed our communal bath it was around 3 in the afternoon, Tauren had just enough time to return me to my cell and to have his cuts and scrapes healed before the dictator arrived.

Tauren was working at his desk in the holding area and I was in my cell when the doors to the holding center opened and in walked Sir Ram with another human! The first I had seen on this world. He had to be seven feet tall easy and was draped in gold-ish silver chain-mail. His eyes were fire red which did nothing to offset his blond hair, mustache and beard- all were quite well trimmed. Judging by the minotaur's reaction, this being had to be the High Evolutionary.

Tauren knelt at the man's feet and simply stated "master." The human gently brought the bull back to his hooves with a simple- "As you were minotaur. So this is our extraterrestrial visitor?" He asked. The bull responded, "Yes sire-" pointing to me.

"Um, hi." I responded meekly as I took in the ferocity of the man's gaze.

The High Evolutionary looked me over from the window, then released me from my cell and looked me over again. I tried to place my best foot forward.

"Hello sir. I have heard so much about you." I said.

"And I you." He responded cooly. "My knights tell me you arrived on this world without permission. You are a refugee from a world plagued by misery, war and death and were in fact traveling to another world looking for a better life when you arrived on this one by mistake."

"Yes sir." I responded meekly.

"I trust that you have also learned of my history and this grand experiment that I have conducted here."

I nodded.

"Despite your noble intentions- by you being here, you have introduced an unexpected variable into this experiment and I am not happy about it." He said.

"But sir-" I pleaded, "my arrival here was not intentional!"

"It may not have been, but never the less you are here." He replied coldly.

"Please sir- I am not a threat to you, your empire or your creations!" I blurted.

"Apparently not. In fact, my creations have done well by you. I heard about the incident in the observation ring." The dictator said staring bluntly at Sir Ram. Who tried his best to look quite innocent. "In fact you have been on this world only two days and have already started to make friends as well I hear."

"Yes sir." I replied.

"What did Ram call you- oh yes a terrified refugee? Yes that's it. Terrified refugee. You know he continued. You and I are quite similar-I left a war-ravaged world many years ago too. I couldn't find a warless paradise- so I created this and all you see."

When I stopped and considered his words, that was quite an achievement.

"However, being imprisoned in Castle Wundagore you have not seen much of this world." The dictator said.

"So- you will release me and let me experience all of your creations?"

"No." He said. "I am busy hunting down our last extraterrestrial visitor- the one who joined the rebels and has been a thorn in my side ever since. However, I will give you an opportunity to return to your world and never come back here." The dictator said coldly.

"Really?!" I stammered. "You are truly a kind and benevolent ruler thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said to the man.

"Sir Ram give him back his device."

Sir Ram promptly removed my PDA from where it had been on the wall near the cell and handed it back to me. I noticed he had a wicked smirk on his face when he did.

"So boy how does this device work?" The High Evolutionary asked.

"Well it is a prototype model that lets the user supposedly travel to worlds without the need of a spaceship. You enter your destination here," I said gesturing to the screen "and it opens up a portal you can enter to take you to the destination."

"I only see two possible destinations G2 and Gaia." The dictator said as I changed the destination from G2 back to Gaia on the PDA.

"The professor who wanted me to test the device did that on purpose to make sure that I didn't miss-enter a destination and accidentally kill myself in the process." I said as I pressed the engage button and a transport window materialized in front of my cell with a hissing sound.

I looked at the PDA and then the other side of the portal through the window preparing to depart- something didn't look right. The pad's display was blood red and my world, Gaia looked different.

When I departed two days before, my departure location and return location should have been the same- the professor's lab at the remains of the university. But there was nothing but rubble everywhere and no one around. It didn't look right. But I was anxious to leave this place for my world anyway.

"Well, I guess that I should be going!" I said as I hugged Tauren.

I then shook the dictator's hand. "Thank you sir for your mercy and leniency." The High Evolutionary gaze was quite chilly as I said this. It must have been a dictator thing.

I then went to shake Sir Ram's paw. "It was, well something..." I started to say as I reached out to him but thought better of it as I noticed the beastial scientist's wicked grin.

"Right then, I am off!" As I started to approach the event horizon of the transport window, Sir Ram, the High Evolutionary and Tauren watched my attempted departure.

That's right, attempted departure- When I approached the event horizon of the portal I hit a invisible wall or something hard and, was thrown violently back against another cell in the holding center and blacked out. I guess being partially clairvoyant I should have saw that coming.

When I came to, I was inside one of Sir Ram's labs on a table. Tauren was there holding a compress to my head- as well as the High Evolutionary. Just then Sir Ram entered the lab laughing hysterically. He was holding my PDA.

(Uh, what the Hell happened?)

"Last night while you were sleeping I examined your PDA and while you were out cold just now, I reexamined your little toy again." Sir Ram began. "You will be happy to know that the communicator/translator still works as it has a power source independent of the transporter otherwise we wouldn't be communicating now." He said. "But the transporter is burned out and doesn't seem to be repairable. In short, you are going to be our permanent guest!" He smirked.

I was devastated.

"Is this true Sir Ram?" The dictator asked.

"It is sire." He responded.

Looking at the extreme sorrow in my eyes, the beastial creator said: "then back to the cell with you, I will give this some more thought and announce my judgement in 24 hours."

That evening back at my cell, Tauren and Lea sat beside me and tried to comfort me while I tried to figure out what had just happened.

"I don't get it. I should have been able to go back to Gaia, how did this happen? And more importantly why did this happen?" I asked sobbing.

Lea, who was sitting next to me on the bed gently hugged me to try to stop me from crying. When I regained my composure she told me she knew my PDA wouldn't work.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"Because Sir Ram knew it wouldn't work. He studied it last night before returning it to room B before your exam this morning."

"Was there a chance that he intentionally damaged it in some way?" Tauren asked.

"Why would he do such a thing?" Lea countered. "Alex is not at threat to anyone."

"Alex is now stranded on this world with no way off it." I said as I started crying again.

"Is that such a bad thing?" Lea asked. "I heard what life was like on your world and frankly, it sounded ghastly. I think you are better off here than there."

"Even if I am a prisoner on a world where my kind are viewed as something less than insects?!" I asked sternly looking at her.

"We don't think you are less then an insect. Besides you do receive three meals a day, you are clothed and bathed. The only thing you are missing is your freedom. Slightly better than your life on Gaia." Tauren interjected. "Speaking of meals, you need to eat. I will not have you starving on my watch." Tauren said trying to lighten the mood.

"You better listen to him too Alex, I heard he can lift a seven foot tall werewolf and throw it into a wall." Lea interjected.

"Yeah, I saw that first hand." I responded.

However, I didn't feel like eating or drinking I was too despondent. My new friends stayed with me until about 9 PM trying to reassure me that everything would be okay.

"Perhaps there is another way to get back to Gaia." Tauren concluded.

"May be." I said. "But one thing still bothers me though, before the transporter device burnt out it wouldn't let me even enter the transport window. Why was that?" I asked.

"I am sure you will find out in time." Lea said as they bade me good night and left.

Thinking back on day two's events on Counter Earth, maybe it was good to be away from Gaia- but I still had friends and loved ones stuck on that hellhole of a planet- still suffering. Too bad there was no way for me to get a message to them to let them know I was still alive and to give them hope of possibly leaving Gaia one day as I had done. Thus concluded day two on Counter Earth- quite a busy day indeed.

Day 3

My third day on Counter Earth began with Tauren bringing me breakfast in my cell. He was furious when he discovered that I hadn't eaten my dinner. "I just didn't feel like it." I replied.

"Well you are going to eat this if I have to personally feed it to you human." He said annoyed.

"Another beastial custom?" I asked.

"Yes." he replied. "Mine."

Just then the door to the holding center opened and in walked Sir Ram.

"Good morning Sir Ram how nice to see you." Tauren said.

"And to you to Tauren." He said.

"I see you have been trying to comfort our 'permanent guest.' The Ram warrior said.

"That's right, he has been despondent since his PDA transporter failed; he still can't figure out why it did." Tauren added.

"I think I can fill in the rest of the blanks." Sir Ram said evilly. "Yesterday I did not tell you ALL that I had found. I think you weren't ready to hear it at the time."

"I am now." I said.

"Minotaur you may want to comfort the boy. He will be throughly destroyed by what I have to tell him."

Tauren gently hugged me as I braced to hear the COMPLETE story.

Sir Ram began: "Alex your attempted departure yesterday was doomed to failure; your professor friend who wanted you to test this PDA device was a fool!- He didn't create a planetary transportation device, but one that transports the user across universes."

(Say what?)

"Instead of landing on that so called G2 planet he had placed in the device- you landed here." The ram said. "Let me ask you something when you tried to transport back to your world Gaia- I bet it looked completely different from when you had left."

"Yes it did." I responded.

"And the PDA would not let you return."

"That's right," I said. "What are you getting at?"

"When you jumped universes there was a time distortion between your world and this one. One day here equals one hundred fifty years on yours. In short when you tried to return to your world 300 years had passed. From my own analysis and tests the wars on your planet had stopped as did all life. The PDA detected this and prevented you from returning. Had you done so you would have died soon after reentry." He said slightly snickering.

His snickering soon evolved to full out laughter.

"My tests show that you damn fool humans' warfare poisoned what was left of your planet's air, water and soil- and you killed yourselves in a massextinction!!!"

I was thoroughly and utterly devastated. Apparently there was something to the beastials' philosophy- humans are their own worst enemy.

Sir Ram's laughter returned to a snicker- "So how does it feel to be the last of your kind- an endangered species?"

"You are capable of many things Sir Ram including great sadism and cruelty." I said.

Tauren interrupted- "So that device transports it's user across universes?"

"Oh yes, this is the best part." Sir Ram continued. "After further analysis, I concluded Our reality- that is to say Counter Earth is an alternate reality of Alex's world- Gaia. Only we have control of our humans and trust me they won't be allowed to destroy this world ever!!!"

Upon hearing this I curled into a ball and shut down. Everyone I knew or had cared about was dead- long dead. I was the last of my kind stranded on another world in an alternate reality that only slightly resembled mine own. Looking back, it was on this morning I turned against my own kind and started believing the beastial rhetoric- human beings do suck.

"Well I have to go." Sir Ram said leaving. "I have duties to perform. I will return for our master's judgement later today."

Tauren tried his best to cheer me up but I wasn't having it.

"What could you possibly say to me to cheer me up?" I asked the minotaur.

"You are alive and you aren't among the deceased. You managed to escape a horrible, hellish situation where many did not- in doing so you inadvertently moved to a better living situation and made friends in the process. That has to count for something."

"Well you do have a point there." I said.

(Damn, he is good.)

"Further, if Counter Earth is an alternate reality of your reality, it stands to reason that alternate versions of your loved ones and friends are on this world somewhere as well. If you look at it that way- it's like they didn't die." The bull said.

"Now you are reaching Tauren, if that is true they may resemble those I cared about but would have entirely different memories, experiences and even personalities." I said.

"That's true, but they are here on this world somewhere." The bull countered.

"What you need is time Alex." Tauren said uncurling me and pulling me into a hug. "You need time to sort out your feelings and process what you have learned. I guess it is safe to give you this as well." Tauren said handing me my PDA.

"Anyway I have to go." The bull said. "I will be away on assignment for the next day or so. I have arranged for you to be cared for while I am away. Be good, eat your meals and don't try to escape." He smiled as he departed.

(That is not in the least bit funny. Where the Hell would I go?)

To Be Continued....
