A Little Bit of Fun Chapter 8 by Conceptfan --------------------------------------------- WRITTEN FOR SGI WORKSHOP 1.9 DOWNLOADED FROM http://www.superwomenmania.com/storybank --------------------------------------------- i “Aiiiieeeeeee!” “Hah! I knew you’d like that, Lyda!” “Oh, it feels so good. Tara, I never - aiiieeee - knew that you - mmmmm - had such a gifted - ooooh - such a gifted tongue!” “Well, I do speak every language on Earth, you know…” “So do - Oh - I!” “Then maybe you have a gifted tongue too.” “You’re - mmmmmmm - right! Maybe I - oh oh oh - do. I’ll have to try - aiiiieeeee - it out on you. Once you’re - oooooh - finished with - mmmmm - me.” “What a great idea! That should keep us busy until the next batch of Earthers arrive.” “And then we - Oh - can continue our - ah ah ah ah - our game.” “Of course, Lyda. Maybe you can show them how gifted your tongue is.” “Oh, that would - uh - be a lovely - uh uh uh - idea. Oh, Oh Oh! Oh yes, Tara! Oh yes! Yes! Yyyyyeeeeeeesssssssss!” ii. “I have provided you with the facts as they have been relayed to me, General. All we know is that there seem to be two individuals with some kind of weapon and some kind of protection from hand-guns who have been attacking and destroying emergency service vehicles. As I have already explained, it is not possible for you or I or anyone else to speak with anybody at the incident site. All communications links have been severed. Judging by the eye-witness reports, all emergency services personnel at the scene have been killed. I cannot ask the local Chief of Police to continue sending a stream of his men to their deaths.” “But, with all due respect, Madame Minister, I similarly cannot dispatch a platoon of men without proper information. What you have told me makes no sense! Am I supposed to mobilise a garrison to investigate reports of a girl in a bikini lifting and throwing a car? Madame, is there not a possibility that the police have fallen victim to a hoax?” “General, I have already considered that possibility. I have eyewitness reports of corpses on the scene, of the downing of a police helicopter and of the murder of several men. So far, at least fourteen men are unaccounted for. There would appear to be a very real danger to the general population and it is my duty to deal with it. Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to remind you of your duty to the elected Minister of the Interior?” “Madame! Please do not think that I am questioning the Government. I am merely trying to establish the basis on which my men are to be mobilised.” “Then let me tell you in the most precise terms, General. You are to mobilise all garrisoned personnel within a fifty kilometre radius of the incident site. They should establish who is responsible for the police deaths and arrest, or failing that, neutralise the hostile party. Do you think your men are up to the task, General?” “My men are ready to fight a war, Madame! I am quite sure they will be able to cope with a couple of civilians. Whatever armoury was used against the police firearms will not be able to withstand automatic weapons. But are you certain that we should mobilise so many men?” “Once again, I must remind you that there have been over a dozen deaths already. I want whoever’s responsible contained - and fast. I will not stand accused of allowing a massacre through inaction! You have your instructions, General. Please ensure that they are carried out to the letter.” “Of course, Madam Minister. Right away.” iii. Chief Inspector Legrand marched briskly down the police-station corridor. A man of his status could not be seen to run. It did not suit the dignity of his office, nor would it help quell the atmosphere of confusion and semi-panic that had engulfed everyone around him. The men needed authority. His authority. It hadn’t taken long to transform the station’s little-used conference room into a “Major Incident HQ”. Two spare radio posts had been set up and a line of five emergency-circuit telephones. A map of the incident site had been affixed to one wall. A small cluster of coloured pins had been arranged near the centre of the plan. Blue pins marked the last known location of police vehicles, white pins represented the two lost ambulances, and a red pin indicated where the fire-engine had disappeared. There was also a black tack for the downed helicopter and two greens representing civilian vehicles. Legrand pushed open the swing doors and let them close behind him. The nervous chatter of personnel assembled in the “Major Incident HQ” died down instantly. Two dozen expectant faces turned to the Chief Inspector. Now was the time for him to show why he had been chosen for such lofty rank. He moved quickly over to the wall-map, and pointed at the group of pins. With effort, he managed to retain an exterior air of calm control as he addressed the room: “Colleagues, as you are aware, there is a major incident still in progress centred around this point on the highway. A number of our personnel have been reported as dead and more are currently unaccounted for. I realise that some of you may be mourning the loss of comrades and friends, but I must remind you all that your duty at this time is to protect the public. There will be time for reflection later.” Legrand glanced around the room, meeting a few pairs of eyes on the way, ensuring that his words had reached their target. Then he continued. “About twenty minutes ago, I spoke with the Minister for the Interior. She has taken the decision to hand responsibility for neutralising any hostile presence at the incident site to the army. Our task is now fully focussed on ensuring that the public is not placed at risk.” The relief around the room was almost audible. None of those present fancied the chance to become yet another blue pin on the map. “In conjunction with the following prefectures,” the Chief Inspector went on to list the neighbouring police areas, “our responsibility is to make sure that the public are kept away from the key zone. Towards that aim, roadblocks are to be set-up and patrolled -“ he pointed at the map, “- here, here, here and here. We are assigning four cars and eight men to each roadblock. No-one - and I mean no-one - is to be allowed through. And that includes the media. Am I being understood?” A silent chorus of nods showed that he had, indeed, been understood by his audience. Legrand selected eight men from those present. “You will be manning the northern block. Do not go any further down the road than the agreed point and, whatever else, do not let anyone pass the roadblock. You have full authority to use reasonable force to arrest and detain anyone who tries to enter the exclusion zone. Everyone else, keep on top of incoming communications and await further instructions. Any questions?” There were none. The Chief Inspector left the room as briskly as he had entered, heading straight for the luxurious solitude of his office. If the Minister called him back, he wanted to take the call on his private line. And besides, there was a bottle of extremely fine cognac locked in a cupboard in his room… iv. The alert siren had been sounding for a full minute already. The entire base was alive with activity. Most of the men were already lined up on the parade ground. Others, fresh from bed and still tugging on shirts and jackets were joining every second. “Move!” Colonel Ferraud yelled at the stragglers in his loudest, harshest tone. “This is not a drill! Get in line!” He didn’t wait more than a few moments for the late-comers. Men were still getting into their columns as he spoke. “Gentlemen, a hostile force is killing policemen on the highway ten k. from here. The government has asked us to intervene and neutralise. I repeat that this is not a drill.” The assembled soldiers were too disciplined to react audibly to the Colonel’s words. Slightly unnecessarily, he revealed the other reason for the urgency he was trying to instil: “Men are being sent from two other garrisons. This is your opportunity to show that all the training you’ve received hasn’t been a waste of time. I expect my men to be the first on the scene and to have the situation under control before the other garrisons arrive.” Ferraud knew that such opportunities were rare. If his men did their job well and cleaned up whatever mess the civilian authorities had gotten themselves into, his career would certainly not be harmed. If they could complete the entire operation before the other garrisons’ troops even arrived, then it would be even better. By all accounts, he and Colonel Gerbert were still neck-and-neck in the running for promotion. What better chance would he get to finally get one over on his old rival? Colonel Ferraud directed his sergeants to assign their men to vehicles. “Get going!” he screamed as soon as the first jeep was almost ready. “Hurry up!” he yelled at the men climbing into the back of one of two trucks. “Move!” he shouted, banging on the driver’s door of the other truck. v. Tara lay on her back, her hand lying across her perfect, flat belly, one knee slightly raised serving to accentuate the shapely beauty of her long leg. Her eyes were closed, but there was little other sign that she was still recovering from the highs of the tremendous orgasm her friend had brought her to. She was not panting. On Earth, neither she, nor Lyda, were ever short of breath. That was just one more aspect of the wonderful, goddess-like abilities they possessed in this alien dimension. The frantic glory of her peak hadn’t even caused her to sweat. Similarly, Lyda showed no sign of her own passionate exertions. They did not perspire when they were in this world. Their stunning teenaged bodies seemed to handle any effort with comfort and ease. Tara sighed contentedly. She felt so wonderful here. Now, basking in the afterglow of Lyda’s ministrations, she was in a physical heaven. But, she considered, she seemed to feel great the whole time she was on Earth. Pain, strain, hotness, tiredness… they had left all these sensations behind when they transported to Earth. All that they could feel here was pleasure. Lyda seemed to read her mind. “I love it here, Tara,” she said, smiling down from her seated position beside her friend. Lyda brushed a few strands of jet-black shiny straight hair from in front of her eye, tucking them behind her ear. “I love feeling this way. I love feeling so wonderful all the time!” “Me too,” Tara concurred. “And I love being made love to by a goddess.” Lyda chuckled. “Me too,” she echoed. Then after a pause, she added, “We really are goddesses here, aren’t we?” “Oh yes!” agreed Tara. “We’re so powerful. So strong!” “I just love watching you showing off your strength on the Earthers and their machines,” the darker-haired girl confessed. “I like watching you too.” Tara said. “They’re so feeble and so fragile! It makes me hot just thinking about how powerful you are - we are - in comparison!” “Yeah,” Lyda warmed further to the subject, “seeing you swatting them like insects really gets me going, too.” “Mmmm.” There was a brief gap in the conversation as both girls lost themselves in thoughts of each other’s limitless power over the planet’s natives. After a while, Tara commented “Isn’t it great the way Earthers react when they see their weapons don’t work on us?” “Yeah,” Lyda agreed, “it’s so funny when they think they can actually hurt us!” Both girls laughed, sharing memories. “You know the way they look at you…” Tara began, once she had regained her composure, “…when they think you should be bleeding or whatever and you’re just standing there…” “Yes,” said Lyda. “It’s such a turn-on to see them looking at you like that. You know… like they’re in awe of you…” “It’s the same for me when they look at you that way. Makes you look even more of a sexy goddess!” Tara smiled. She liked being called a sexy goddess. Especially when the person calling her that was a sexy goddess herself. vi. “All ready, Colonel!” the lieutenant saluted. “Good,” pronounced Colonel Gerbert. He looked up at the array of assembled vehicles. Five jeeps and three trucks, their engines growling in neutral stood poised for his order to move. He was pleased at the speed with which fifty armed, combat ready men, had been scrambled. Of course, he’d been as efficient as ever briefing them. There was no time to waste on unnecessary words. Not when emergency orders had been issued from the very top. “Move out!” he yelled at the nearest driver. The jeep crunched into gear and lurched forward towards the open barrier that separated the garrison from the side-road leading to the highway. The other vehicles followed in tight formation, roaring past him until all the noise and dust subsided and the base was quiet and empty. Colonel Gerbert glanced at his expensive watch. If his men drove as fast as they could, he calculated, then there was a real chance that they might beat Colonel Ferraud’s men to the scene. He was aware that a third garrison had also been mobilised, but knew enough local geography to realise that its soldiers could not possibly arrive until some time after both his own and those dispatched by Ferraud. Seeing as all they were being asked to do was take-out a couple of civilians who’d gone beserk with a rocket launcher or some similar weapon, he had little doubt that his soldiers could complete the task without help from his rivals’ troops. He knew how well that would go down in the capital. Things like that could make a big difference to a career. vii. “Tara! Can you hear that? Tara? Tara!” “Eh? “Can you hear that?” “How I am supposed to hear anything with your thighs clamped over my ears? Oh! Wait a moment… yes! I can hear it! Earther vehicles!” “Lots and lots of Earther vehicles!” “Oh, how exciting!” said Tara with almost child-like glee. “Yeah,” agreed Lyda, “Loads of opportunities for you to look like a sexy goddess for me!” Tara smiled and lifted her beautiful head clear of Lyda’s silky warm lap. “Hey! That’s not fair! You have to be a goddess for me, too!” Lyda grinned back at her lover. In less than an instant, her superhuman sense of hearing and unworldly speed of thought detected, separated and analysed the sounds of thirteen distant, primitive engines. “They’re coming from two directions!” she exclaimed, delightedly. Tara caught on to the implications of Lyda’s discovery. “Well, that makes it much easier to share them out,” she observed. “You can have all the Earthers coming from that side, and I’ll have the ones coming from over there.” “Seems fair to me,” the shorter girl agreed, with a mischievous glint in her eye. “We could carry on with the game we were playing earlier.” “What a great idea!” trilled Tara, climbing swiftly and smoothly to her feet. Lyda stood up equally gracefully beside her. “Shall we pick the score up at six-all?” she asked. “Oh, yes,” said Tara with a wicked grin. “We must play by the rules!” She and Tara adjusted their tiny two-piece outfits, re-covering the intimacies they had uncovered together. Unspeakingly, they both seemed to be acknowledging that there were some things that no Earther was fit to gaze upon. Despite that understanding, when they stood fully clothed in their native costumes, there was only a very small portion of either girl that was not on glorious display. Sexy faces with generous pouting lips that parted erotically to reveal sexy white teeth. Beneath, their garments clung tight to their perfect, voluptuous yet slender, nubile bodies and left exquisite long limbs, flawless flat abdomens, enticing hips and glorious firm thighs visible. And cleavage. Breath-taking, superhumanly firm, moment-of-ripeness cleavage. Both girls boasted magnificent large, rounded busts that thrust arrogantly outwards from their torsos. Only the solid, proud nipples at the centre of each breast and the outer and under arcs of their bosoms were covered by the thin, sheer fabric of their upper garments. These tops clung to the spherical perfection of their charges so tightly that the shape of every stunning nuance and curve of the flesh they adorned was visible. Much of the two girls' breasts were left uncovered. The silky wonder of their feminine skin was there for even Earthers to see. Each of them presented a dramatic, deep and narrow cleavage that only superhuman poise and musculature could bring about. The slopes either side of those glorious valleys were flawless beyond Earther comprehension, their blemish-free complexion perfectly sun kissed. And so very, very, round. Lyda finished adjusting her clothes first and narrowed her stunning eyes at the horizon. “Oh!” she exclaimed, “I can already see my ones! This is going to be so much fun!” viii. "What's your location now, Sergeant?" "We're 2k from the incident site, sir. ETA under 2 minutes." "Do you have any visual yet?" "Negative, sir." "Sergeant, police reports say your targets may well be female civilians. Be alert. Trust no-one." "Roger, sir." "Report in as soon as you see anything." "Roger." ix. "Oh, that's interesting." announced Lyda. "What is?" her friend asked. "You see the Earther in the lead vehicle?" "The one with the green eyes at the front or the one with the blue eyes next to him?" Tara wondered. "The green-eyed one. He's talking on his communicator." "I know. I can see. And hear." "Did you hear what the creature on the other end of the communicator-thingie said? That their 'targets' could be female civilians?" asked Lyda. "Yes. Of course I did. I can hear every word. So what?" "Well, do you think he might mean us, Tara? Do you think we're 'targets'?" "Oh, now you mention it, I suppose he probably did mean us. I mean, there's just us here and the two groups of Earthers..." "Three groups," Lyda corrected. "There's another batch coming down the path behind my ones. I can hear their engines. They must be quite a long way behind..." "That's so unfair!" pouted Tara. Lyda caught the sultry look on her lover's face and felt a tingle in her loins. Just a faint reminder of the many orgasms the girl with the light brown hair had provoked that day. "There's two batches on your side and only one on mine. That's not going to make a very competitive game!" Tara complained. At that moment, staring into Tara's features, Lyda would have offered anything to please her friend. Her mind raced to find a solution, and found one with lightening speed. "They’re so far behind the others," Lyda pointed out, "and knowing how pathetic those engines are, it'll be ages before the third lot get here. Why don't we just play with the first two batches for now and then we can share the last bunch when they finally get here" Immediately, Tara's expression lit up. The pout was replaced by a dazzling display of perfect teeth as she grinned. Lyda found the smile just as attractive as the scowl had been. Tara didn't need to say "Yes! Let's do that!" But she did, anyway. Lyda grinned back at her, her own teeth just as flawless as her lover's. "So, all these Earthers are converging on us because we're targets!" Lyda changed the subject, if only very slightly. "I wonder why?" "Maybe it's because of the other ones we were playing with earlier," Tara theorised. "These ones are coming to see whatever happened to the last lot." "So, you mean," Lyda said, taking the concept to a particularly cruel conclusion, "the more we destroy, the more they'll keep sending?" Her eyes were aglow with an unmistakable glint. It stirred something in Tara to see the shorter girl's obvious glee. "Maybe," she said. "Let's find out!" breathed Lyda. x. "What's your ETA, Corporal?" "Approximately ten minutes, Colonel." "Ten? Ferraud's boys'll get their first at this rate! Dammit! Tell your driver to go flat out!" "Yes sir!" "Report anything you see to me immediately and detain any civilians you encounter regardless of age or sex." "OK sir." "And corporal?" "Yes sir?" "Quickly!" "Yes sir!" xi. "He still hasn't seen us, Tara!" "Who?" "The green-eyed Earther. He's using those funny lens things and he still hasn't seen us. What pathetic eyesight they have!" "What are those things so many of them are carrying?" asked Tara. "Weapons I guess," answered Lyda. "They won't work on us," the taller girl commented with absolute certainty. "Of course they won't! This is Earth. Nothing works on us here. But the Earthers don't seem to realise that." "Then you'll just have to show them, Lyda," Tara said, her voice suddenly heavy with lust. "Well, if you insist..." teased Lyda, grinning wickedly. A moment later she announced "Green-eyes is on the communicator again! I think he's finally seen something..." xii. "Sir, I have a visual." "Go ahead, Sergeant." "A civilian ambulance on its side next to the road. A piece of another civilian vehicle... a taxi I think, sir. An overturned squad car... looks like it was hit by several cars or something." "Any signs of life, Sergeant?" "Negative. Just the veh- wait a moment. Affirmative sir! Two civilians standing in the road. Colonel, they're... they're chicks! In bikinis!" "Sergeant, tell your men to surround them immediately. Intercept, arrest or neutralise them." "Y-yes sir." Sergeant Thompson switched the frequency on his walkie-talkie and relayed his orders to the rest of the company. Then he turned to his driver. "I can't believe they've sent us to pick up a couple of hot chicks!" he shouted. The driver flashed him a smile. The jeep jumped twice in quick succession as something went under the front and then the rear tyres. "What was that?" Thompson yelled. "A piece of a car, I think," the driver shouted back. "There's more and more debris on the road the closer we get." The sergeant looked for himself. He saw something dark blue flashing past. A bit of police uniform. With a bit of policeman still in it. The driver had to serve to avoid some parts of two other corpses. Possibly three. It was hard to tell. "What the hell happened here?" Thompson asked out loud. The driver did not answer. Behind them, the other vehicles in the convoy were beginning to fan out and leave the road, preparing to carry out their instructions and surround the two civilians that the Sergeant had spotted. xiii. "Look, they're spreading out," Lyda observed. "They're going to try and surround us. That's what green-eyes said." "Shall we let them?" "It's up to you. They're your Earthers, remember. I get the next batch. I'm just, um, watching for now." Tara answered. Lyda said nothing. She stood, facing the convoy of on-rushing vehicles. Despite the scale of the group preparing to challenge her - five smaller, open-topped machines with four men in each and two, large, long transporters, twelve men seated in the back of one and fourteen in the other - she was calm. She knew she had nothing to fear from forty-six Earthers or their weapons. She decided to allow them to encircle herself and Tara. She remained upright, her magnificent body erect, her long shapely arms hanging comfortably by her sides. Her beautiful face betrayed little emotion as she watched the activity all around. Beside her, their flanks almost touching, Tara was waiting and watching too, her features as unrevealing as her lover's. The taller girl's right leg was slightly bent at the knee, and she rested her hand on her thigh in a relaxed, sexy pose as she observed the approaching Earther vehicles. Her eyes sparkled as they saw through the metal casings of the transporters, allowing her to study the men inside with arrogant disdain. xiv. "Moving into position now around the targets, sir." "Good work, Sergeant! Any sign of Colonel Gerbert's men?" "Negative sir." "Excellent! Proceed with the arrest." "Yes sir!" xv. After what seemed an age, the ponderous machines finally reached their intended positions and stopped moving, although their engines kept running. With slow, clumsy movements, the twenty-six Earthers in the back of the two big vehicles climbed out onto the ground. Then they spread out, forming their own circle around the two girls, each man pointing his useless weapon at them. The men in the opened-topped vehicles stayed in the machines but stood, forming an outer-circle. Most of them also held weapons trained on Tara and Lyda. As the men settled into position, an uncomfortable quiet fell over the scene. Tara broke the silence by asking Lyda in their language "Do you think they're trying to intimidate us?" "Maybe," Lyda answered with a careless shrug. "What do you think that thing is?" Tara asked, nodding towards an Earther standing in one of the smaller vehicles. In his hand he held a strange, cone-shaped contraption. "Some kind of sonic weapon, I think," said Lyda. "Look! He's going to use it!" xvi. Sergeant Thompson brought the megaphone up to his lips and squeezed the lever on its handle to activate it. He stared over the cone of the loudspeaker at the two girls he was addressing. Even from his position thirty metres away, they were stunningly beautiful. Dressed in those tiny bikinis, the top halves of their costumes so deliciously overworked, they looked completely out of place amidst the wreckage and the carnage, surrounded by a ring of two dozen foot soldiers and an outer circle of men in jeeps. Their hands were empty, Thompson noticed. And, although he checked several times, there was little chance of either of them having concealed a weapon on her person. Such slender, youthful bodies! There seemed no justification for the forty powerful automatic weapons that were being simultaneously aimed at them. What possible danger could two gorgeous young girls represent? Still he had his orders, and those orders said he had to arrest the pair of them. He could think of worse prospects than a ride back to the garrison with these two sitting in the jeep with him. He spoke into the megaphone, calm and confident in his words. "Put your hands in the air and walk slowly towards me!" he commanded. This was going to be the easiest mission of his entire army career. He found himself hoping that the two girls would not be co-operative, so he would have an excuse to intervene. How he'd love to get his hands on either of those fine, fine bodies! xv. "Sonic weapon! It's just a shouting machine!" laughed Tara, whilst Lyda responded to the instruction to raise her hands by cocking her head and sneering. "Hey you! That's no way to talk to a goddess!" Lyda shouted back at the Earther with the amplifier in his own language. Her defiance caused a noticeable shuffling amongst the men all around, and a mass realigning of weapons. Now the barrel of every firearm there was pointed at her slim body. "I repeat: raise your hand in the air and walk slowly towards me!" the creature barked into his device. "No. You come towards me." Lyda yelled back. She was surprised to see how quickly the Earther decided to accept her invitation. Almost immediately, he put his shouting machine down and, picking up a weapon, climbed out of his vehicle. He walked through the inner circle of men and lifted his weapon to his eye, taking aim at the darker-haired girl's face as he approached her. "I have orders to detain you and your, er, colleague." he announced, still peering along the length of his firearm into Lyda's face. "I'd rather take you both back alive, but that's up to you." "Do you think that's a threat?" Lyda asked Tara, speaking in their own language so that the Earthers wouldn't be able to understand. "I think so," Tara responded, still using their alien tongue. "How dare he threaten me. I'm a goddess!" said Lyda. Confusion flickered across the Earth's face as he tried and failed to understand and then even identify their language. His lack of comprehension of the two girls' conversation was clearly unnerving him, just as Tara and Lyda intended. "Maybe," said Tara, a trace of wickedness in her voice "he doesn't know that you're a goddess. Perhaps you should show him." "Yes," agreed Lyda, "perhaps I should." xvi. Thompson was confused. The girl’s response to his surrender order - something about that ‘not being the right way to talk to a goddess’ had slightly unnerved him. He was also perplexed by the two girls’ air of serene calm despite the dozens of machine guns pointed at them. Nevertheless, he couldn’t resist the shorter one’s invitation for him to come towards her. How could anyone turn down an offer to move closer to a body as desirable as hers? Then, as he was walking towards her, his rifle readied, the pair had started a conversation between themselves in a bizarre unrecognizable language. Were these foreign agents? And why did they seem so relaxed despite all the guns trained on them? He was just ten metres from them now, isolated from his men who remained in formation encircling the gorgeous couple. The conversation seemed to stop after the darker-haired one grinned and said something to her colleague. The smile seemed out of place. It worried him. It was the smile of someone anticipating something. A mischievous smile. Something did not make sense here. Thompson was becoming increasingly convinced that there was more going on than what met his eye, although even in his state of nervous readiness, he had to admit that what met his eye was very pleasant. Very pleasant indeed. The darker-haired girl turned her lovely face towards him. “Come closer,” she said. That wasn’t right. He was the one who was giving the orders. Not the girl he was supposed to be arresting. At least she’d stopped using that weird language. But her tone added to his discomfort. Sure, he wanted to get closer to her. But not under her terms. He had the gun. And the forty-five armed colleagues. It was time to end the farce. He stood his ground. “OK. Fun time’s over, princess,” he hissed. “You and your friend start walking towards the jeep behind me, now.” “Princess?” said the shorter girl in a mocking tone. “I’m not a princess. I’m a GODDess.” “Whatever, babe,” muttered the Sergeant, his patience exhaused. “Now.. Walk!” xvii. Lyda resisted the temptation to laugh at the Earther’s disrespectful tone. Instead, she seemed to be obeying his command. Languidly, her hips swinging erotically, she took a few steps towards him. Tara, meanwhile, remained rooted to the spot. After all, the male was one of Lyda’s. She was only observing for now. As Lyda moved, the Earther kept his weapon carefully trained on the centre of her face, watching her intently. She could hear his thumping heartbeat. She knew that was partly due to his lust for her. Earth males could not help being hopelessly attracted to her. She was well aware of that. She glanced down, peering through the material of his clothes, and saw the erection her sexy walk was inspiring. She grinned. xviii. Something still wasn’t quite right. The shorter girl had finally obeyed and began to approach him. But her friend wasn’t moving. And the one who was walking didn’t seem to be looking at the jeep he had ordered her towards. She was looking at him. He stared back, hypnotized by the way her sexy body moved as she took each step. So many curves, swinging and bouncing. He felt himself getting hard for her and then, to his embarrassment, noticed the girl glancing down towards his crotch. She smiled at him, increasing his discomfort. Still she continued to walk forward. But she did not seem to be intending to stroll past him to the jeep as he wanted. She seemed to be heading directly towards him instead. Each step with its accompanying thrilling movement of her body brought her closer to him. He kept his rifle up, pointing it at her. “Don’t make me use this!” he warned, but a trace of nervousness had entered his voice and detracted from the weight of the threat. The girl’s lovely smile did not even flicker. She continued to advance on him. Just a couple of meters separated them now. There was no longer any room for doubt. The girl was walking up to him, not towards the waiting jeep far behind him. Thompson made a decision. At this distance, his hands were more appropriate than his rifle. If the girl was refusing to co-operate, he would drag her to the jeep himself. Such a petite young woman would not be able to resist a large, muscular soldier like himself. What was the worst she could do? Pull his hair? He lowered his gun and took a half step towards her, reaching out to grab her long slender arm with his big hand. But he never made it. Without warning, the girl’s other arm flashed across him, far faster than he could react. Her small, delicate-looking fingers curled around his wrist. For a split-second, he looked down at her hand in surprise. And then, suddenly, he felt a tremendous pain in his forearm. Thompson screamed as the girl gripped him. Under the sound of his own yell, he distinctly heard the crunching sound as her petite hand crushed the bones in his wrist. He dropped his rifle in shock. How had she managed to do that? There was no let up in the terrible pain in his arm. In panic, he placed his other hand over hers, his thick, hairy masculine fingers dwarfing her flawless, slender digits. But for all his desperate efforts to prise even a single fingertip off his arm, he could not budge her grip. Sweat poured onto his forehead as he fought in vain to free his wrist. Through emerging tears of agony, he caught a glimpse of his tormentor and saw that she was still smiling at him. She wasn’t even exerting herself! “What the fuck is going on here?” he thought. “Who the fuck is this girl?” The pain was unrelenting. He balled up his free hand into a fist and drove it, with all his might, into the smooth flat perfection of the girl’s abdomen. It felt as if he had punched a block of steel. He could feel the bones of his hand collapsing against the unfeasibly solid flesh of the beautiful young woman. He screamed, half in terrible agony, half in confused fear. The girl failed to acknowledge the blow in any way. Her smile was unflinching, her crushing grip on his wrist unaffected. He caught her eye for an instant. Was she laughing at him? He was distracted by a movement of her arm. The one holding him. He felt a new agony in his shoulder as something tore. Then he stopped feeling altogether. xix. Lyda let the Earther punch her. It was always fun when they destroyed their hands trying to hurt her flawless skin. She didn’t feel the blow as anything more than a feather-like caress, but she heard the sound of the creature’s knuckles shattering with total clarity. Tara, standing some paces behind her, heard it too. She smiled as she thought of Lyda’s smooth thin belly and the way the powerful-looking Earther’s fist had dissolved on contact with it. After that, Lyda was finished with the creature. His screams were beginning to bore her. So she just jerked his trapped arm upwards in an almost unthinking gesture, releasing him once she’d leant him enough momentum so that his whole body shot towards the sky. He stopped yelling straight away, but he continued to rocket away from the ground, his flight testament to the phenomenal strength of Lyda’s deceptively slender arm. The Earther’s body was still climbing towards the clouds, but the other men were already reacting to Lyda’s throw. Weapons were clicked all around her in preparation for use. The petite brunette paid no attention as she glanced at the men in front of her. Meanwhile Tara was still following the corpse shooting upwards. Her head was bent back as she watched it, her amazing eyes allowing her to see the flesh burning as it encountered the resistance of the edge of the planet’s atmosphere. She didn’t look back towards ground-level until she heard one of the Earthers shouting “Open fire!” xx. The men needed no second invitation. Having just witnessed the inexplicable murder of their Sergeant at the hands of one of the two girls, they were finally aware of the threat she represented. Anger too, at the death of their colleague, was in their motivation-mix. They demanded instant revenge. The girl’s life for their Sarge’s. Every single weapon on the scene, bar the abandoned rifle at the brunette’s feet, cracked into life. And every single one of them was pointed at the slim, sexy teenage girl. The combined noise of the guns was hell itself. Automatic weapons poured out their deadly streams of hot steel and lead onto their shapely target. They expected to see her body jerking backwards as their bullets tore into her flesh. They expected her mangled remains to slump instantly to the ground. But it didn’t happen. Through the haze of flying bullets, the men could still see her. They could see she was still standing. They could see that there were no red tears appearing on her stunning body. Confused, they continued to fire. From time to time, some of the men caught glimpses, amidst the metallic blur, of misshapen bullets ricocheting from her. The realization spread quickly through them. The girl was bullet-proof! The soldiers maintained the constant barrage of fire, despite the evidence that it was ineffective. None of them could believe that the girl was completely impervious to the thousands of bullets striking her every second. Surely, if they kept shooting, the cumulative effect of so many impacts - each one supposedly deadly in its own right - would bring her down. What was happening - what they were witnessing - just wasn’t possible! xxi. The first wave of little metal pellets came out of the encircling weapons so slowly that Lyda and Tara could easily have evaded them. They chose not to, because they both longed to see the shock and awe on the faces of the Earthers when they saw the ineffectiveness of their noisy weapons. The devices being used on them, Lyda noted with only the vaguest interest, were different from those she and Tara had encountered on Earth before. Instead of individual little bits of metal, these machines spat out a constant flow of the things. Perhaps, she thought, the Earthers considered these weapons more powerful than the other type. But when the projectiles started to hit her body, they felt as pathetic as those she had already experienced. To show the creatures how useless their weapons were, Lyda defiantly placed her hands on her hips and let the barrage of pellets bounce harmlessly from her. For every beat of her heart, ten or more little bits of metal struck her face - her eyes, her nose, her cheeks, her chin, her sultry lips - and just crumpled up under their own momentum before pinging away to the side. She showed her total disdain for the wasted effort with a sneer, raising one lip and exposing a few of her lovely teeth. Some pellets found their way past her lip to the sexy whiteness she was displaying. They merely met the same futile fate as all the other bits of metal that struck her, her teeth proving complete immune to Earth weaponry. The rest of her body was not ignored, either. Streams of projectiles bounced from her prominent breasts in all directions, a few trying to bore their way, unsuccessfully, into her deep cleavage. Her abdomen was no more vulnerable to the metal onslaught than it had been to the Earther’s fist moments before. Her crotch, too, remained untouched despite the countless pellets ricocheting from it. The men behind her unloaded their ammunition into her flawless back with a similar lack of success. Bits of metal bounced harmlessly from the perfectly spherical curves of her superhumanly pert rear, too. Wherever she was struck, her skin remained unblemished. The projectiles merely folded into themselves as they pressed uselessly at her invulnerable flesh before rebounding away. Behind her, Tara was absent-mindedly looking at the Earthers operating the weapons. Occasionally, a piece of metal would glance off her friend and strike her. More often, a projectile intended for the shorter girl missed its target and impacted with Tara’s body. She completely ignored them as she amused herself observing the growing shock and disbelief displayed on the male faces all around. Over the racket of the weaponry, her ears caught the sound of an Earther shouting into a communicator. With mild amusement, she listened to the conversation. xxii. “I don’t know, sir! She just seemed to throw him into the sky. With one hand! We’ve opened fire but it’s not having any effect!” “What did you say? Repeat that, soldier!” “The guns are not having any effect sir! Our bullets are just bouncing off her!” “Say again.” “Our bullets are bouncing off the girl’s body! She’s bullet-proof! Totally bullet-proof!” “Is she wearing some kind of armour?” “No, sir. Just a bikini, sir. The bullets are just bouncing off her all over! Her face, her tits… Nothing’s getting through to her!” “That’s impossible, soldier!” “Sir, I know. But that’s what’s happening! She’s just standing, perfectly still with her hands on her hips like she’s showing off or something. We’re hitting her from all angles and nothing’s happening!” “Are you sure, man?” “Yes sir. The girl is bullet-proof.” “Understood. Tell the others to keep her pinned down. We’ll get you some heavier support.” “Yes sir!” xxiii. “This is getting boring,” Lyda called out above the din over her shoulder to her friend. “Look at their faces!” Tara responded. “They’re all in shock!” “Yes,” laughed Lyda. “Pathetic, aren’t they?” “You’d think for all this noise that those weapons would actually do something.” Tara commented. “Maybe they’re not using them properly,” suggested Lyda. She cast her gaze imperiously over a few of the Earthers, and, at her leisure, selected one. Casually, her hands still planted on her hips, she sashayed towards him. The constant stream of hot metal continued to strike her from all angles as she strolled. Lyda made sure the Earthers could see her ignoring it completely. She noticed that a number of them were moving about in response to her changing position. Some of the men seemed anxious to maintain the same distance between her and themselves. Others apparently were keen to find out if their weapons were any more effective from shorter range. As she continued to walk, one Earther separated out from the others and began to run at her, his weapon spewing furiously all the while. A yell, which Lyda took to be some kind of war-cry left his lips as he charged. The brunette paid him no attention as he neared, the projectiles from his firearm not disturbing her any more than those fired from much further away. Then, suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and fell to the ground. It took her an instant to understand what had happened. He’d been cut down by one of his own pellets that had bounced from her body. She laughed, both at the irony and the fact that just a single projectile could be fatal when hundreds of thousands had failed to even mark her skin. Panic was beginning to grip the men now. They started to run in different directions, firing at her all the while. She remained calm as she kept advancing. In the confusion, an Earther ran right in front of her, spraying her face with hot metal from only a few paces away. She quickly closed the gap. “Give me that,” she ordered, reaching for his weapon. The man had no time to react. She had to lean down to grab the thing from him as he fell, his body riddled with holes caused by projectiles either intended for her or ricocheting from her. Lyda ignored the Earther collapsing at her feet just as she ignored the thousands of pellets still striking her. She turned the weapon over in her hands, her eyes seeing beyond its casing to examine the primitive mechanism inside. She found it astonishing that the creatures could think such a pathetic contraption would harm her. Adjusting the thing in her grip so that the end of it was barely the width of her small hand from the bridge of her nose, she experimentally activated the little lever on the handle, taking care not to squeeze with any force and mangle the steel. Bright flame emerged from the barrel right in front of her eyes as the weapon spat out a succession of metal lumps. There was barely enough space for the projectiles to leave the weapon before they slammed into her face, squashing into flat, disc-shapes against her beautiful, invulnerable features. It was a curious sensation, almost like being tickled, but too gentle to make her actually laugh. Her only reaction to the point-blank blast was to instinctively blink. She released the firing mechanism and the pointless weapon fell silent. So much for the theory that the Earthers weren’t using the things properly. Looking up, she noticed a group of three of them standing about ten paces away from her, their own weapons still discharging their ammunition at her. Clearly, the trio had witnessed her playing with the weapon and could not believe the result. Each bore a lock of complete shock. Lyda grinned at them. The three Earthers stared back, the stunned expressions seemingly fixed on their faces. The brunette adjusted her grip on the weapon she had stolen, holding it in both her hands. She kept her gaze on the men as, with an effortless twist of her wrist, she tore the steel weapon in half. Then, holding one half of it in each hand, she casually tossed them, underarm, at two of the males. The broken bits of metal ripped right through the chests of the two targets she had selected, emerging with a splatter of gore from their backs as they slumped to the ground. The Earther who had been standing between the slain pair suddenly found himself isolated, face to face with her. The blood appeared to drain from his features. He stopped firing his weapon, perhaps an acknowledgement of the futility of using it, perhaps the result of fear making his fingers limp. “Don’t kill me.” he said. Lyda flashed him a smile. This was fun! xxiv. When Lavarre first saw the girl walking towards his way, strolling through the impenetrable hail of machine-gun fire as if it were nothing more that a spot of light rain, he instinctively knew he had to move away from there. But movement was difficult. There were bullets streaming through the air all around, and men running, some of them clearly panicking. He spotted two colleagues and, opting for the relative safety of the group, stationed himself between them. He watched as another soldier ran almost into the girl and saw him wounded by a series of bullets that appeared to have glanced from the side of one of her generous breasts. Continuing to fire his own gun at the girl, more in hope than expectation of wounding her now, he saw her snatch up the fallen man’s gun and, to his shock, point it right at her face. When she pulled the trigger and the bullets hitting her skull from no more than ten centimetres out only made her blink, he assumed he was hallucinating. Then she’d snapped the machine gun in half as though it was as brittle as a dry twig. Before he could even try and take in what he had seen, she’d thrown the two pieces of gun right through the bodies of the men either side of him. The safety in numbers he had sought had been suddenly, and bloodily, stripped away. Fear gripped him. He found himself letting go of the trigger of his gun. Then he heard himself begging for mercy. It was as though his mind had left his body, so completely had terror overtaken him. The girl smiled at him. Such a beautiful smile. It confused him. How could someone smiling so warmly at him wish him harm? She was walking towards him now. He heard someone shouting nearby over the racket of the guns. “Hold fire! Hold fire!” There was movement behind him, the sound of a jeep engine revving. But he could not tear his eyes off the girl. The way she moved, her body swaying so sensuously as she strolled towards him, her large breasts bobbing with each confident stride, that stunning smile on her gorgeous face… She was so close now. He felt himself grow hard at the sheer eroticism of her movements. A small part of him clamoured for attention, urging him to run away, but he was powerless to obey, so utterly was he enraptured by her beauty. Standing right in front of him, her fabulous body so near to his own, she tilted her face up towards his and slowly reached up, putting her hand behind his head. He felt her pull his face down towards hers and made no effort to resist. She pushed out her ripe lips, inviting him to kiss their feminine perfection and he responded, placing his own lips against hers. She kissed him firmly, the wonderful sensation of her mouth pressed against his triggering an involuntary orgasm, his loins unable to resist her allure. He shook with the spasms in his groin, but the girl did not interrupt the kiss. If anything, she intensified it, making his release last longer than any he’d every experienced before. Suddenly, he realized that he couldn’t breathe. He felt a tightening in his chest that quickly became a burning, stinging pain. Franticly, he tried to pull his face away from hers and found that, no matter how hard he struggled, he simply could not move. The pain grew to new levels. He tasted blood. A second later, his world faded to black and ended. xxv. Lyda broke the kiss and let the dead body fall. She’d enjoyed her brief mastery over the Earther, hypnotizing him with the way her body moved before making him cum merely by kissing him. After that, she had slowly begun to inhale with her lips locked over his mouth, carefully increasing the force of her suction so that she could remove all the air from the creature, but still allow him a few moments to panic before his lungs collapsed. Most of the men had stopped firing their weapons now. She saw a couple of the vehicles ahead of her moving. Turning, she saw Earthers running in all directions. Most seemed to be trying to get as far away from her as they could. She saw a couple sprint right past Tara. Perhaps they assumed, given the taller girl’s complete inactivity up to that moment, that she was no threat to them. Tara merely raised her hands from her sides and grabbed each of the two passing Earthers by an arm. “And where do you think you’re going?” Tara asked her two prisoners as they squirmed in her unbreakable grasp. “I don’t remember anyone saying you could leave.” “Let me go!” one of the men shouted through clenched teeth. The other attempted to drive the sharp point of his elbow into her face. He screamed as the impact broke several bones, leaving his arm hanging uselessly by his side. Tara continued to hold him by his other arm. “Lyda!” called Tara. “Yes?” asked her friend. “What do you want me to do with these two?” The two Earthers, terrified by the way their fates were being so casually discussed, renewed their futile struggles with extra vigour. Tara merely ignored their hopeless efforts. “Hmmm,” thought the darker-haired beauty. “I’ll decide in a moment. Would you mind holding them for me in the meantime?” “Of course not,” said Tara. One of the men leant in and, opening his mouth wide, bit down on her smooth upper arm with all his might. A trickle of blood appeared on the teenager’s blemish-free skin. The source of the blood became apparent when she pulled her arm away from the Earther and a dozen of his teeth flew out with it, leaving him with a bloody, gummy mouth. “I’ll be back for them in a moment,” Lyda said. She looked around. There were men scattered everywhere. Most of them were trying to make it to one of the various vehicles arranged around the scene. Selecting an Earther at random, she jogged after him, catching up with him in only a few strides. She reached for him, grabbing his arm with her left hand. Then, she turned, pulling the man off his feet as she started to run towards a group of four other Earthers who were sprinting towards the sanctuary of one of the big, long vehicles. With the screaming man in tow, she effortlessly overtook the bunch of four men before turning to face them. “Hey!” she said, not even needing to pause for breath, “You forgot your friend here!” The quartet of Earthers almost lost their feet in their panic to stop before they clattered into her. Panting, terrified, they looked at her. She had adjusted her hold on the man she was dragging, still gripping him with her left hand by his wrist, but now also supporting his hip with her other hand. She raised him over her head, holding his body parallel to the ground. The four men looked up at their comrade and then down at the slim, sexy young woman supporting his weight with ease. She smiled at them, only increasing their fears to new levels. “Would you like him back?” she asked, sweetly. Transfixed, the men said nothing. They just stared. “I’ll take that as a ‘yes’,” Lyda announced. “Here! Take him!” xxvi. A minute before, Corporal Ferol thought he was going to escape the nightmare unfolding all around him. He saw the two beautiful, bullet-proof girls tormenting a couple of his comrades and ran towards one of the two waiting trucks, hoping to get clear the area whilst they were distracted. Looking back over his shoulder, he saw that he was already fifty meters from them. Adrenaline pumped through his veins as he focused on the lorry he was running to. “Not far to go,” he thought. “I’m going to make it! I’m going to-“ In an instant, his world had become nothing but pain. He was no longer running. His arm had become trapped and he could not pull it free. The agony was centred on his forearm. He turned to look at what might be causing it, knowing already what the answer would be. It was the shorter girl. She’d grabbed him. But how had she caught him? Just a second before, he’d seen her fifty meters away! She didn’t look like she’d been sprinting. She wasn’t gasping for breath. Her sexy face was as serene as ever. Her calmness amidst all the panic and bloodshed was terrifying. Ferol knew he had to escape her clutches. He pounded her arm with his free fist until the bruising made him cry out. The girl didn’t even appear to notice his efforts. Suddenly, she turned on her heels. He found himself being jerked off his feet. Before he could think about recovery, the girl started running. He was dragged along behind her like a child’s rag doll, his boots bouncing on the ground, unable to regain his footing as she moved as fast as a car. In panic, fearing for his life, he began to scream. She moved so quickly! He felt nauseous as she turned sharply, pulling him helplessly along behind her. Finally, she stopped. He tried to catch his breath. Before he could even begin, she put her other hand under his hip and turned his whole body sideways. Then she lifted him over her head like a weightlifter. She’d run in front of a bunch of other soldiers, cutting off their escape. Through the pain and the sickness, he heard her talking to them. His mind was too riddled with shock and agony to take in most of her words, but he distinctly heard her saying “Here! Take him!”. “Oh fuck,” he thought. “She means me…” After that, he felt a sudden stab of pain in his shoulder, followed a split-second later by another jolt, this time in his abdominal muscles and then a third agony, almost immediately, in his groin, as if his body was being sharply stretched out. He was aware of a feeling of his legs moving through the air, but only for a few instants. His shins hit something with such force, the shock almost made him black out. Something warm splashed all over the lower half of his body. He was too short of air to yell as the pain in his legs grew and grew. He hardly noticed that he was no longer moving. Forcing his eyes open, he blinked away tears of agony and found himself staring into the stunning bright eyes of his beautiful tormentor. xxvii. From her position, holding the captured Earther over her head, Lyda had paused for a moment to glance over at Tara. As she hoped, her friend was watching. They caught one another’s eyes for an instant, exchanging a look of fiery passion. It was a momentary, wordless communication, but both girls knew what the other was saying. Tara was imploring Lyda to display her power and Lyda was imploring Tara to watch her do it. Sure of her audience, Lyda had removed the hand supporting the male’s hip and used the other hand gripping his arm to swing his whole body around in an arc. Such was the force of the swing, the legs of the man she was holding carved clean through the torsos of the four others, killing them instantly. Then she lowered her “weapon” until he was almost kneeling, facing her, his shattered legs partially on the ground, his weight still supported by her delicate hand on his wrist. Barely conscious now, his wrist, shoulder and legs broken, he already screamed himself hoarse and had no means of expressing his agony bar silent tears that rolled down his cheeks. Lyda looked into his eyes, carefully adjusting her grip on him so that she was holding him with one hand under each arm with their noses only a small distance apart. “You poor man!” she mocked. “It looks like your friends don’t want you after all. Never mind! I want you!” He couldn’t talk. He tried to say something in reply, but the wheezing sounds he made were incomprehensible. “Sshhh,” said Lyda to him, gently. “Don’t talk,” she breathed. “Don’t spoil the romance!” She pulled him a little closer to her, until the large, firm points of her big breasts touched his chest through their clothes. “Isn’t this lovely?” she said. “Me holding you tight…” She increased the pressure of the hug a little, feeling his upper body yielding very slightly to her generous round chest. “…my breasts pressing into you…” Lyda drew the Earther a bit closer still. “…squeezing you, driving the air from your body….” She tightened the embrace once again “…making your ribs bend….” The creatures eyes were wild with terror, but she could feel his erection throbbing against her thigh. “You like this don’t you?” she smiled. “Feeling my big breasts so firmly against your soft body. Can you feel them slowly crushing you…” She pulled him another tiny measure closer. They both heard the muffled “pop” sound within his chest. “...breaking your ribs one by…” Another step tighter. Another “pop”. “..one. My breasts are killing you…” She hugged him tighter. Pop! Pop! Pop! “…aren’t they? What’s it like?” Another squeeze. There were no more ribs to pop. His eyes were becoming glazed over. “What’s it like to feel my breasts crush the life out of you?” Lyda asked with a smile as she pulled him a little closer still, so that his chest yielded completely to her superhumanly firm bosoms. Blood poured from the Earther’s mouth. A moment later, he went completely limp. As Lyda let his body fall at her feet, admiring the newly concave shape of his chest, she heard an involuntary lustful gasp from Tara and smiled, then winked at her lover. Tara responded with a look of smouldering desire. The two Earthers that Tara was holding glanced at each other in sheer terror. xxvii. No-one needed to give the “Retreat!” order. The surviving men were already sprinting towards the hope of escape offered by their vehicles. While the shorter of the two terrifying, teenage girls was occupied torturing one of their colleagues and her friend seemed content to stand on the spot holding two others captive by the means of a single-handed, casual-looking grips, most of the remaining men had made into one of the jeeps. Quite a few had also piled into one of the trucks. The driver of the other lorry was dead, and it stood empty. As the last of the survivors raced towards it, the soldiers in the first truck diverted them. “No driver! In here!” Engines were revving. The driver of one of the jeeps put his machine into gear, and pressed down on the accelerator. Like most of the others, he wasn’t sure what he had witnessed in the previous minutes - psychopathic gorgeous young women with astonishingly sexy figures who were immune to machine-gun fire and strong enough to throw men into the sky had not been included in basic training - but he knew one thing: ‘Survival’ meant getting far away from them as quickly as possible. xxviii. “Lyda,” Tara warned, “you’re going to lose points! Your Earthers are all running away!” She spoke in the local Earther tongue, so that her two prisoners would not feel left out. “Well, I’ll just have to stop them then, won’t I?” said Lyda, putting her hands on her hips and thrusting out her stunning chest in a power-pose intended purely for her friend’s entertainment. Then she addressed the two Earthers Tara was keeping for her. “You stay right there, boys. I’ll be back to play with you in a while.” Lyda turned on her heels and set off at a sprint towards the vehicle that had already started to drive away. She’d covered barely half the distance to the thing when, mid-stride, she bent her knee and sprung upwards off her dainty toes, launching herself in an astonishing, graceful leap. Tara watched her long, low jump intently. xxviv. Everyone in the jeep bar the driver was turned to see what was behind them. Terrified that one of the two extraordinary girls might pursue them, they’d been relieved to see the two of them chatting as the jeep put more and more ground between soldiers and girls. They were two hundred meters away already and that distance was increasing by the second. But then, the shorter one had suddenly become a blur - a blur that was headed in their direction. Before anyone could even shout a warning, the blur had halved the gap. Then, it launched into the air, still heading straight for them, but now on an arc that peaked about five meters above the ground. By the time the stunned observers had calculated where the arc was likely to finish, it was too late. No-one got the chance to alert the driver. He never knew what hit them. xxx. Lyda judged her leap to perfection. She saw the flicker of panic on the faces of some of the Earthers in the vehicle as she soared down, feet first towards them. Her petite heels landed on the front of the transporter where the primitive engine was located. The metal covering tore instantly beneath her, the soles of her feet carving downwards through everything they encountered including solid steel. The back end of the vehicle lifted slightly as Lyda came down at the front, catapulting the men from the vehicle. Before they could rise any great distance into the air, however, the thing’s fuel supply ignited and the entire machine exploded in a massive ball of orange flame that quickly engulfed both Lyda and the flying Earthers. The males bodies were instantly burnt to charcoal. Lyda stood amongst the flames and wreckage as large pieces of broken vehicle rained down on her, bouncing from her invulnerable head, chuckling to herself. Calmly, she strolled out of the carnage, walking through the raging fire without a second thought, her beautiful skin untouched by heat or shrapnel. She surveyed the area around her imperiously. There were Earthers in two more of the small, open-topped vehicles, headed in opposite directions. One of the two big, long transporters was also moving, following one of the smaller machines. She headed towards it, at a relaxed jog that very quickly brought her close. xxxi. The soldiers in the back of the moving truck saw the jeep exploding almost half a kilometer away. Their horror at the fate of their colleagues was also mixed with relief. If the architect of all this destruction - the slim, dark-haired girl - was with the blown-up jeep, she could never catch up with them in the lorry. Then, as they watched, they saw something. It was like a pink smear that stretched across the landscape from the site of the explosion, heading towards them. Most of them knew, even before the smear solidified into a recognizable shape, what it was. Suddenly, she was only about twenty meters behind them. She was matching the truck’s speed, running along the ground. She smiled at the startled men. “Oh fuck, no!” someone screamed. The girl winked at him as if to say “Oh, yes!” They stared in hopeless dread as she lowered her head and then, taking them completely by surprise, dived forwards as if into a swimming pool. She passed right under their gaze and disappeared under the truck. An instant later, everyone was thrown forwards. There was the sound of the windshield at the front of the lorry smashing. The floor seemed to lurch up as they were crashing down. Men slammed into each other, injuring themselves, some fatally. The lorry was no longer speeding. Now it was almost still, apart from a strange, almost boat-like swaying. xxxii. As she followed the big Earther transporter, Lyda used her ability to see through solid objects to check that the smaller vehicle was still travelling in front. Seeing that the open-topped machine was indeed there, and noticing the gap beneath the body of the big vehicle and the ground, she made a quick decision. She bent her knees and flung herself low and forwards, head first. She flew under the back of the transporter, coming down about two-thirds of the way beneath it. Her large breasts slammed into the ground first, smashing out a small crater as her feminine curves pulverized the rock and stone in their way. Her face made a shallower indentation and her knees each made small pot-holes as they hit. The petite but curvaceous brunette didn’t pause to admire the imprints she’d created, however. In an instant, she raised her face from the ground, reaching up with her palms upturned. The big vehicle was speeding over her. She gathered her legs, and pressed up quickly with her hands, grabbing hold of the machine’s frame so that when she lifted it sharply from the ground, her slender arms not only supported its massive weight, but also overpowered its powerful forward momentum. In a single, effortless gesture, she brought the vehicle to a sudden halt and raised it in its entirety, into the air. She stood up fluidly and easily, lifting the huge transporter above her head as she did so. She glanced upwards, peering through the floor of the thing, enjoying the chaos within. Then she turned her attention to the smaller vehicle now trundling away in front of her. As she drew her arms back, making the enormous machine overhead creak and lurch, she hoped that Tara was watching her. xxxiii. “Oh my god!” screamed the Private in the back of the jeep. He’d only turned around to confirm that the truck was still following them when he saw it suddenly jerk upwards off the road. The driver and another man in the cab were thrown violently forwards through the windshield and came crashing down to roll in the dirt and then lie still. The lorry rose swiftly. Soon, he saw what was raising it. “It’s her!” yelled the Private. “She’s got the truck! She’s picked it up! She’s picked up the whole fucking truck! Oh god! She’s… she’s going to throw it! She’s going t-“ xxxiv. Lyda tossed the big transporter gently at the little vehicle in front. She didn’t want to put too much into her throw so that the huge vehicle would soar far overhead. She wanted the larger machine to crash down on top of the smaller one. Her judgement, as it always seemed to be on Earth, was perfect. The enormous vehicle sailed through the air on a graceful trajectory that ended with it landing exactly over the open-topped transporter, shaking the ground as the little vehicle instantly crumpled flat. Then, both machines erupted in a massive explosion that echoed across the landscape. A column of flame leapt skywards as the blast ripped the vehicles to shreds and scattered them in every direction. A few bits of twisted charred metal smashed into Lyda’s perfect body and bounced away, defeated. The rest dropped to the ground all around. Lyda turned around and focused her superhuman vision on her remote friend. They were so far apart that two Earthers in the same situation would not have been able to spot each other at all. But Tara and Lyda were able to look each other in the eye so clearly over that distance that Lyda could see how impressed Tara was. She ran happily back towards her waiting lover. xxxv. “What was that?” the driver of the last remaining jeep asked as he saw an explosion in his rear-view mirror. “One of ours,” answered a Private in the back. “Oh god, she’s just picking us off,” someone else observed. “No.” said the driver, defiantly. “No. She won’t get us. We’re too far away now.” xxxvi. “That was awesome!” Tara greeted Lyda moments later as the brunette jogged up to her side. “Thanks!” said Lyda, immodestly. Turning to the two Earthers trapped helplessly in Tara’s unbreakable grip, she asked “Did you see that boys?” They mumbled something in reply, too scared to speak properly. Lyda grinned at them. “It’ll be your turn soon,” she reassured them. “What about the other little vehicle?” Tara asked. “Where is it now?” Lyda wondered, turning on the spot as she scanned the landscape. “Ah,” she said. “I suppose it would be rude to let them leave without saying ‘goodbye’,” she said. “Very rude,” agreed Tara. “I won’t be long,” Lyda announced, sprinting away once more. xxxvii. In the back of the jeep, Private Deriva muttered a silent prayer. After all that gunfire had proved a waste of time, and the shorter of the two girls had killed two of his colleagues right in front of him, he knew that the only course of action was to get the hell away from her. She was not of this world, he was sure of that. As he’d run to the vehicle, he’d seen the other girl holding two more men against their will, apparently with complete ease. There was no doubt in his mind that he had made the right decision. He was one of six who had made it into the vehicle before the driver, understandably unwilling to wait any longer, had thrown it into gear and turned it around, heading back towards the highway. The jeep shuddered as its engine worked flat out to pull the weight of its cargo with the accelerator pedal depressed all the way down. Soon after that, they’d started to see explosions as the girl began destroying the other vehicles in which their colleagues were fleeing. But now, they were almost at the road again. Surely they were safe now! Then, someone in the back screamed “Oh shit, no!” He didn’t need to add the explanation “She’s following us!” Everyone but the driver turned to look. Sure enough, there was the girl, her lovely long legs moving in a blur as they carried her over the ground at an apparently impossible speed. “She’s gaining on us!” someone cried. “Go faster! Go faster!” “I can’t!” shouted the driver. He looked quickly down at his speedometer. They were doing nearly 100kph! How the hell could the girl be gaining on them? She was only about ten meters back now. Deriva grabbed his machine gun. It was hard to aim accurately in the back of the bumping, moving jeep so he sprayed the girl indiscriminately with lead. He saw the flashes where some of the bullets struck her, and spotted where some of the others bounced from her perfect skin. But the barrage did not even slow her down. In desperation, he flung the useless weapon at her. She didn’t even flinch as it clanged against her face and fell to the ground. Inexorably, she continued to close the gap to the jeep. Panicking, two of the men in the back tried to clamber into the front to get away from her as she neared. “Get off!” shouted the driver as a careless foot on his shoulder made him swerve before regaining control. One of the clambering men lost his footing as they hit a small divot in the ground. He was thrown free of the vehicle. Deriva watched in silent horror as the displaced man fell towards the ground. He saw the raven-haired girl flash out her right arm and catch him by the back of his neck. She kept running, carrying the soldier with her left hand, letting his boots drag on the ground. The trapped man tried to match the superhuman pace of the girls’ feet, but immediately realized it was an impossible task. Smoke rose from his soles as they scraped at over a hundred kilometres an hour along the ground. The material was rapidly being worn away by the friction. Knowing what would happen once his boots were finally ground out of existence, the man fought with both his arms to remove the three-fingered feminine grip on his neck. He was still vainly struggling when the last shreds of his military soles wore away. His screams curdled the blood of everyone in the jeep as the flesh of his feet proved far less resistant that his boots. Deriva looked down and saw the horrific sight of the man’s blood-splattered legs, cut off just above the ankles. The girl was glancing down at the crimson mess too. Her reaction to the gory sight, however, was one of delight. The Private realized that she was enjoying the torture. He felt an emptiness in his stomach as the girl slowly lowered the arm gripping the back of her victim’s neck, pushing his body down towards the earth, causing more and more of his legs to be worn away by the rough ground zipping past beneath. The soldier stopped screaming when his legs had been ground away to just above his knees. The girl opened her fingers and let him drop, leaving him behind as she continued to chase down the jeep. Deriva found himself frozen with terror now. He watched, helpless as she reached for the back of the vehicle and curled two fingers around it. The next thing he knew, he was flying through the air. In flashes, he saw see the girl, standing next to the jeep, ever more distant behind him as he shot away. He also saw the other men from the vehicle, airborne all around him. Then he saw the ground, rushing towards him. xxxviii. Lyda played with the Earther who’d been dislodged from the vehicle she was chasing, using the friction of the ground to shorten his legs until he lost consciousness and stopped being entertaining. After that, she turned her attention fully to the transporter. An effortless increase of her pace brought her within reach of it. Then she just grabbed it and stopped dead still, her slim arm more than strong enough to cancel out the pull of the machine’s engine. The sudden stop caused the five men left in the vehicle to be immediately thrown forward by their momentum. Watching them crash down, the speed and force of each impact enough to instantly kill each of them, Lyda felt pride in her power. She turned towards where Lyda was waiting and waved at her. The taller girl grinned and waved back. Despite the large distances she had covered at phenomenal speeds, Lyda was still as fresh and full of energy as ever. She wasted no time as she ran happily back to her friend’s side, moving faster than any Earth vehicle could ever travel. xxxviv. “What?” said the General. “The entire unit? You lost contact with your entire unit? How?” “I have to assume the worst, sir. My men were reporting that one of the girls was massacring them. They said that the automatic weapons fire had no effect on either of the two hostiles. Then we started getting reports of casualties. I ordered a complete retreat, but from what I could gather, the hostiles were chasing the men down. That’s when we lost contacts, sir.” There was a long pause at the other end of the secure telephone line. “Thank you, Colonel,” the general finally said. “That is all. Please await further contact.” “Yes, sir,” said the Colonel, replacing the receiver. He lifted his elbows onto his desk and dropped his head into his hands. xxxviv. “Why do you think they abandoned the other big machine?” Tara wondered, with a nod in the direction of the empty vehicle, just moments after Lyda had returned to her side. “I don’t know,” Lyda admitted, not needing to catch her breath even though she’d just completed a long, supersonic sprint. “Maybe these two have an idea,” she suggested, looking at the last two Earthers - the ones Tara had kept for her. “They can’t even speak anymore,” Tara dismissed Lyda’s thought. “I tried talking to them while you were running around before. The poor little creatures seem to have lost their voices.” “Lost their voices?” Lyda asked, with mock incredulity. “That’s too pathetic even for Earthers! Are you sure they’re not just pretending?” “Oh yes,” said Tara. “I’m absolutely sure they’re not pretending. Look, I’ll show you.” She adjusted her grip on the two men, releasing their upper arms and talking a new hold by curling her thumb and two fingers around the back of each Earther’s neck. With that grip, she bent her wrists to turn them both around to face her. “Would you two like to me to let you go now?” she asked. The two men made rasping, wheezing sounds but nothing that could be classified as actual language. “Just say the word,” Tara told them, “and you can go.” The pair made some more desperate, strange noises. “Come on,” Tara encouraged. “One little word, and we’ll let you walk away. No?” Looking back at Lyda, she said, “You see? They can’t talk.” “That’s ridiculous,” said Lyda. “I’ve never heard of a creature losing its voice. It’s obvious that they didn’t say anything just now because they don’t want to go. They want to stay. They’ve been waiting all this time for me, and now I’m back they don’t want to go anywhere.” Tara smiled. “I don’t blame them,” she sighed. “You’re gorgeous.” She meant it, too. She looked at the two men in her hands. “Isn’t she beautiful?” she asked them, straightening her wrists so that the duo were turned, whether they wanted it or not, towards the brunette. Tara held their heads firmly in front of Lyda’s sexy face. The men tried with all their might to agree, but their efforts at speaking failed once more. “I said ‘isn’t she beautiful?’,” Tara reiterated the question. “What’s the matter with you?” “Maybe,” Lyda said, slowly, biting her lip saucily, “maybe they need a closer look?” Tara caught the glimmer in her lover’s eye and smiled in understanding. “Yes,” she said. “A closer look.” She moved her hands away from herself, pushing the two Earther’s heads towards Lyda. She and Lyda grinned at each other as Tara slowly pressed each man down past the darker-haired girl’s face. She stopped when she was holding them with their noses almost touching the magnificent spherical protrusions of Lyda’s bust. “How’s that, boys?” asked Lyda. “Can you see OK now?” Unable to move their heads because of Tara’s grip on the back of their necks, the two males muttered their pathetic responses to Lyda’s breasts. “What did you say?” Lyda teased. “Did you say you still can’t see? Tara! I think they said they still can’t see.” “What shall we do about that?” Tara asked, joining the game. “Should I give them an even closer look?” “Oh, I think you’ll have to,” said Lyda. She arched her back, thrusting her big breasts out towards the men. Tara matched that movement by pressing the Earther’s faces slowly down onto Lyda’s chest. The two girls stared deep into each other’s eyes and listened to the sound of crunching bone as Tara crushed the men’s noses against the silky, erotic flesh of Lyda’s breasts. Blood poured out onto the shorter girl’s skin. Tara continued to press the men into Lyda. Their skulls cracked, unable to resist the firmness of the brunette’s beautiful bust. Flesh tore and muscle yielded as each man’s face lost its struggle to dent the perfect roundness of Lyda’s breasts. Instead, it was Lyda’s breasts that dented the Earther’s faces. The males went limp in Tara’s grasp. Lyda sighed deeply, her hot breath washing over Tara’s face. Tara responded by letting go of the dead men’s necks and throwing her arms around her lovers head. The two bodies hung unaided, so deeply were Lyda’s breasts embedded in the front of their heads. Tara ignored them as she pulled her lover to her. Lyda’s arms encircled Tara’s waist. The two corpses were ground into paste as the girls’ bodies came together, destroying everything between them. They kissed deeply. xxxx. “Colonel, tell your men not to proceed to the incident site.” “But sir, they’re one minute away from the rendezvous point!” “Then, tell them now! Tell them to hold their position and await further orders.” “Right away, sir.” xxxxi. “You know you scored forty-six points there,” Tara breathed between kisses. “I’m impressed.” “It’ll be your turn soon. Your Earthers must be nearly here by now. I can’t believe how slow their vehicles are.” “Wait a second!” “What is it, Tara?” “Listen! They’re stopping!” “Oh yes. I wonder why…” “It’s not fair! We’re in the middle of a game here! Don’t they realize that?” xxxxii. “New orders, Corporal. Under no circumstances are you to engage the hostile parties. Hold your position and wait for reinforcements.” “Yes sir.” “I’ll let you know more when I can.” “Thank you, sir. Ah, sir? There’s a lot of smoke on the horizon. It looks like several vehicles on fire. I could send a foot party to investigate in the meantime...” “Negative, Corporal. Hold your position. Stay away from the original incident site until you receive direct orders to the contrary.” “Roger, sir.” xxxxiii. “And how long will it take the tank column to reach the site, General?” “ETA is twenty minutes, Prime Minister.” “I see. The Minister for the Interior tells me you are keeping other ground forces away for now. Please keep it that way. From what I can gather, we have suffered far too many losses already.” “I agree, Prime Minister.” “The civil authorities have closed off the area to the public. I’ve instructed the security services to give you every assistance in this matter. Let’s try and keep further casualties to a minimum.” “Of course, Prime Minister.” “Thank you, General. Please let me know when there are any further developments.” xxxxiv. “I can see them! They’re just sitting in their vehicles with the engines off! What are they waiting for?” “I don’t know, Tara. Shall we go and ask them?” “Yes, let’s!”
