When Heros Fail {place_holder_49 X Shik}

[Shikokudarkstar]

There was a war going on. It wasn't something that many people paid attention to since most of it was being fought on a small backwater planet in the middle of dead space. The humans weren’t even supposed to be here. There was just a small colony that had decided that their planet looked good to be populating. They didn’t however count on the natives being wicked smart and not taking kindly to someone who didn’t respect nature. The natives here called themselves the Apatu. They wore simple loincloths and blended in with nature. The Apatu had a symbiotic relationship with the plants of the planet and lived off only the meat of other animals. They hadn’t minded humans at first and even allowed themselves to be seen, snuffling through the streets of the village with cat-like interest. The humans seemed to get the message quick that the Apatu weren’t much for conversation. Much like a human cat, the Apatu were happiest when they were ignored. Of course that was before the humans broke the cardinal rule and started harvesting the native plant life for food and killing other plants to make way for more and more land. The Apatu though gave the humans warning, sitting in front of the farmlands watching the humans break the rule while they sat there. It was the first and last time that the humans heard the Apatu speak, warning them not to go any farther. But they did.

The Apatu were not an alien race that one wanted to be at war with. They were notoriously hard to kill. Their body covered in armored plates, soft fireproof fur covering the thick plates of armor their bodies naturally made out of bone. Fully standing they rose to a height of about eight foot tall, heavily muscular bodies always ready for combat. Their arms were thicker than a human’s chest, supporting their body weight when they walked in their relaxed crouch. Each of the six fingers was long and nimble, ending in long sharp blade-like claws. Each palm held another mouth that they used for ripping apart prey and gently sucking out nectar from the plants they had a relationship with. Out of their back came sharp spikes, lining down until it met with the nine whip-like tails, each barbed with poisonous spikes that could be sheathed and unsheathed at will. Finally their head was covered with a bone-plate helm that they made to guard against human attacks. Their eyes, when seen were amber feline eyes, the slits a black sideways line along them. They were delicate compared to most of their body and one could blind them with a sword before going for the most vulnerable part of their body; their vlar. The vlar was a special artery that carried the much needed nectar to their brain and all along their body. This artery peaked out through the skin at a spot the size of a man’s finger length. Usually the Apatu wore heavy collars that covered the vulnerable place but if one had enough luck and skill, they could kill an Apatu.

Which some of the humans had done successfully since there was only two Apatu left in the wilds of this mostly feral world. A low growl left the larger of the two Apatu, he was sniffing the ground before him in annoyance. They had been covertly planting plants to take over the human village. Their camouflage was hard to see through and the plants had successfully taken over the space port so that any fool trying to get in was fucked hard and held until the Apatu decided to kill them and leave their body in the middle of the village as a warning. Yawning, the alpha of the two motioned to the other Apatu to move to the side. It would seem they were being sought out. Making almost no noise, he allowed one of the plants to slither up his arm and onto his body, attaching itself to the vlar before he climbed into one of the massive trees. The other Apatu took up another position from another tree. Since the Apatu leader was pissed and it was only one human, he decided to mock the man.

“Look here, brother. The humans have sought us out.” It was a seductive purr to the voice, one they reserved for prey before they killed them. Normally the Apatu would reserve such a voice for mates and lovers but since the humans had only left the two of them. They had names but as much as they ached to hear them, they couldn’t allow the humans to know them. Knowledge was power and the Apatu fondness for names was something that only they could not allow strangers to know now.

A low pleased rumble sounded from somewhere on the other side of the human, “Yes, I believe the human wants to see if he can kill us. Shame really when we can give him so many pleasurable things.” The other Apatu gave out a purr, “Wouldn’t you rather we give you pleasure instead of pain?”

While the whole of humanity spread throughout the galaxy and pressing against large alien empires, lonely border worlds such as this would be largely left unattended, such as Planet X38. The only reason a colonial presence was there was that the planet looked perfect to construct into a metropolis. Plans for that got cut as the indigenous life forms clearly didn't take kindly to expansion efforts. Plans to construct large city complexes and hydroponic farms were scrapped, and the colonists were largely left to fend for themselves.

The military arm of the humans would never touch down on X38. Too much effort to drive out such a small problem. Instead, mega-corps seeking to expand their influence on potential money makers such as this would often hire help to take care of the native population. Results varied, many died, but they just kept paying and luring more bounty hunters and mercenaries. The average human in premium wargear couldn't stand up to even one of the aliens. There were many humans in space now, already many worlds subverted and colonized, and the best from each one sought to test their skill and cunning. The xeno population dwindled, slowly but surely over time.

The human that had tracked the last two seemed to have come alone. His entire body was sealed in an metallic grey unpainted exo-suit that gave him a much bulkier appearance than normal. This gave him a few external weapons, such as the power fists at both ends of his arms, or the shoulder cannon mounted on the human's back. Under the suit, he smirked, they seemed rather talkative, and he could hear at least two. The man had done this before, multiple time, and it was now time to finish it all.

"You're not the first to say that, and you won't be the last. Oh, wait, you will be." The lone hunter chipped through a monotonous voice modulator. With that quote the silence behind him was cut short as a flock of several aerial robotic drones flew in around him. There were four in total, each less than two feet wide or tall. They looked like nothing more than a bundle of wings and jets attached to an eye. All they had to attack with was a laser, but a powerful, precise one that could prove fatal if aimed at the right spot on the alien's body, and they were good shots.

With but a thought, the drones scrambled, taking high into the air and spreading out in an attempt to get into position to lance anything that came into view. Below, the mercenary braced himself for an attach from any angle.

"This is the end now, for you and your entire race. You should be considered lucky, this is a pretty fair fight. Usually it just happens in a few minutes as starships bomb the planet from orbit until everything's dead. This world's a bit out of the way, maybe I'll retire here, raise a family."

There was always one thing that the Apatu hated above all others. It was disrespect for nature. If they allowed themselves to die off then the humans would try to kill all of the natural flora and wilds until they claimed to have ‘tamed’ it. Hearing the human’s ego inflamed the Alpha Apatu, causing his mocking voice to halt and his deadly one to start, “Then you are a fool.” He shifted among the branches, moving tree to trees as he made all the plant life around the area rustle. It sounded like there were many of the Apatu among the branches instead of just two. Did the fool not learn from his employer that the Apatu were one with nature? They controlled all plant life around the area, using the enraged planet to fight back against intruders. Vine-like tails whipped out at the same time, constricting the drones as the two Apatu blatantly ignored the human. He wasn’t a concern for them. The drones were able to aim an them and hit the vlar through their collars. Vines flew from the trees as the drones tried to fire off at their weak points, luckily missing the Apatu’s vlar and hitting bone plates that couldn’t be hurt with their lasers. The vines tore off the wings, allowing the Apatu to grab the guns and slam them into the ground when they landed there. The Alpha Apatu bit through the metal in the gun, throwing the destroyed drone onto the ground with a thud.

The regular Apatu grinned, the camouflage hiding him even if he had just landed onto the ground with a drone crushed under his body weight. “They can’t bomb us, little human. We’re fireproof.” He slammed his fist into the human’s body, hearing the Armor creak but not break. Of course the human didn’t take that like a bitch, he punched back into the Apatu. Neither of their armor seemed to want to give in and they both were bashing their fists hard against each other. Sure, the human tried to use the shoulder cannons but those had only made the Apatu bleed a little before he ripped them off and sent them flying out into the wild.

The Alpha Apatu leaped onto the ground silently, planting seeds into the ground and running his palm-tongue over them. The saliva made them grow rapidly, so that the eager-to-please vines were fully matured by the time the fight was getting tiresome to watch. The other Apatu didn’t have his same fine control over the plants and the Alpha moved away from the vines and over to where the fight was going on.

An Apatu could never camouflage from another Apatu, so the Alpha watched boredly as his subordinate beat the ever loving hell out of the man’s armor. Only a slight amount of black blood was leaking out from the Apatu. A few of the sturdy bone plates had cracked and the plates had a small amount of blood. Watching this boredly the Alpha pushed the other Apatu away. Both were camouflaged still, so the human was only had his other senses to go off of. The Alpha Apatu however gave himself away when he slammed his fist hard into the armor and heard the thunderous crack. The Alpha hit harder and faster into the human, each slamming punch pushing the human back into the ever eager vines. Of course he didn’t let up on his attacks, forcing the human to either block or attack instead of trying to get away. Sure, the human made a few attacks but none of them damaged the Alpha. It didn’t take long for the human to realize just how outgunned he was without his other toys against an Alpha. Of course it was far too late before the human had the chance to run.

Vines surged over from their planted patch and overwhelmed the exhausted warmonger. There was no escaping the anger of the alpha. The human had no way to escape them now. For every vine he fought off there were three more that took its place. The vines removed armor where they could, enveloping limbs as they found new ways to hold on tightly to their prey. The leader Apatu watched the human struggle impassively, ready to end the mercenary’s life after he knew the pain of defeat well. However his impassive observations were cut short as the other Apatu spoke.

“Brother.” The Apatu looked at the alpha before letting out a snort, “Perhaps he would like to continue living and be of use to us?” The Apatu ripped off the helm, watching the tentacle vines whirl around the human. The vines were persistent and held the human tightly as they got the human’s lower half exposed. While one vine moved and sucked on his cock, the another vine pushed into the human’s ass. The oils the oozed out of the tentacles acted as an aphrodisiac, getting the human man hot and hard before fucking a thick, phallic vine into the man’s ass. The Apatu lifted the man’s head to face the alpha, the pleasure had to be great, vines wrapped all around his body, molesting and sucking every inch of human it could reach. The Apatu dropped his camouflage, allowing the human to see the hands that were holding him. “Brother, I believe such a fine specimen as this could be used to make a beautiful family to ‘retire’ with.” Humor colored the Apatu’s voice at the thought. Really he wanted the human to beg to be fucked by something other than a plant. Or beg for his life. There had been too much death with the fight over the planet. Maybe it was time to make the intruders work for them instead of against them.

The Alpha Apatu dropped his camouflage, looking at his slightly injured packmate before turning his attention back to the would-be killer. The man was well built, enough that a good fucking wouldn’t harm his body but he didn’t see what his other Apatu brother saw. He looked at the vines, willing them to spread the human out before him. The Alpha Apatu watched the show before him, the large, thick vine fucking hard into the human, making the man shiver with pleasure. The human did look the part of intincing, if he and the Apatu hadn’t been beating the shit out of each other. The Alpha growled at his packmate, “You think he would become so eager to service my needs if he wasn’t being rampadly fucked my our vines?”

The other Apatu grinned, turning the human’s face to look directly at the Alpha. “I believe that once he learns of how powerful you are, brother, that he will have no problem servicing your needs. I believe he, like any other animal is excited by the idea of serving an Alpha.”

Lifting a single hand, the Apatu Alpha let the mouth in the palm of his hand lick against were the vine had hold of his erection. The tongue swirled, working under where the vine had grip on the man. “We shall see.”

The fatal flaw in the man's plan was keeping the flock of drones within reach of the canopy. Each one used their thermal lance to try and cut themselves free and slice the nearby Apatu like decapitating a chicken. The lasers had the power to cut right through the alien weak point, but once they were restrained, they were helpless as they were taken apart one by one. They were all offense, nothing to protect themselves but their power of flight.

The hunter meanwhile was quickly locked into close quarters with one of the aliens. Each strike made against him did little, and the shock of the impact was absorbed into the armor. He readied the shoulder cannons to force his prey to draw closer, and uppercut the Apatu once he came close to rip them apart. They were ruined, but he wasn't worried. One on one, the human would eventually win against the alien due to powered armor he wore.

There in was the other fatal flaw. His mind wandered on finishing off the first alien that he forgot about the other. His overconfidence faded as the larger of the two suddenly joined the fight, almost knocking him unconscious with the force of the punch. Two was too many. He soon found himself forced back as he a defensive stance, until he felt the vines reaching out behind them.

"Damnit, too much for me alone." With that said, the external backpack and boots lit up with fire as he tried to rocket jump away. The ignited fuel literally melted any of the vines it touched, but one of them managed to wrap around his arms, then three, then five. Soon the engines overheated, and the fire died out. He was restrained, helpless, and considered himself dead.

The thick layers of metal and wire that made the frail human a death machine would eventually give way. As the armor was removed, his pink flesh was exposed to the world. The human's hair was black, short, and neatly groomed. The man's green eyes glared at his captors with hate. Below, his modest manhood hung uselessly, until the tendrils binding him down began to poison him with pleasure. Suddenly he became more sensitive, his breathing more rapid, and his silence turned into barely-suppressed moans. The human bit down on his tongue, holding back any audible screams. Seeing the alien appear in front of him was startling. He would have jumped back had it not been for his restraints. His brain was bombarded with pleasure from the rough ass pounding, the chemicals ensuring that it would feel good for him. The unknown human's eyes shot up as one of them spoke, saying how they would use him to 'make a family'.

"H-how?" He spoke up before, the appendage inside him pushed even further. That drew out the human's first groan of pleasure, and seemed to have tipped him over the edge. "D-do what you want! I... I failed. I'm nothing before something like you. I'm not your equal."

The Alpha Apatu watched the human before him, the vines rapidly fucking in and out of the alien with ease now that they had finished oiling him up. He was still debating on listening to his instinct and killing the man outright or listening to his brother’s ideas and fucking the human pregnant with Apatu eggs. The later would require more work and taking the human back to their lair where his brother had prepared his ‘experiments’ in case he could change his Alpha’s mind. The Alpha kept his hand around the man’s groin as the vines kept up their fucking but it wasn’t until the human himself spoke that his mind was changed. The human spoke of his own failure and how he wasn’t an equal that he should mean nothing to the Alpha Apatu. The man’s own words were the thing that spared his life. Once the vines finished the human off and blasted their own ‘semen’ inside him, the Alpha Apatu flicked his hand, the vines laying down the human and holding only his arms. Oils from the vines leaned out of the man’s well-fucked entrance but the human hadn’t come himself. When the Apatu were there the vines didn’t finish the humans to climax. A cruel punishment to someone who they were going to kill but this time it kept the Alpha Apatu’s interest peaked. Even with his hard, leaking erection the human hadn’t begged once for his live. That of course meant that the man was far braver than most of his other humans. Bravery went a long way to impressing an Alpha. Amber eyes stared into green before the Alpha pushed his muzzle under the man’s chin mouth opening so that razor sharp teeth were now pressed against the vulnerable area. Instead of the fear he had been expecting with his teeth so close to the man’s throat, the Alpha Apatu smelled arousal. His Brother Apatu had been right when he said that the human was like any other animal. He wanted to serve an Alpha.

“Ready your experiments, brother. I believe my interest has been caught.” The Alpha Apatu watched his pack mate go before returning his attention back to the human. They were still too close to the human settlement for the screams of pleasure the Alpha wanted to cause but that didn’t mean he was going to let the man off easily. Instead he moved his hand so that the mouth on the palm of his hand now engulfed the human’s erection, tongue swirling around the human’s member. The six long fingers of his hand now spread over the human’s body. Two of them roughly inserted themselves into the man’s leaking hole while the rest held the man up with ease. The Apatu pulled the vine holding the human out of the ground, pushing the roots to his vlar until they attached themselves against it.

Carrying the human this way was easy; he just hefted the human back through the trees and back to the entrance of the lair. The lair really wasn’t really what one would imagine for the Apatu. They lived among the roots of trees, the trees themselves moved and shifted to make room for the Apatu. Underneath where the roots had cleared out was where the Apatu lived now. So it was there that the Alpha Apatu dragged his new prize down into the dark depths beneath the tree. The disentangling the tentacle vine from his vlar, the Alpha Apatu placed the roots against the wall of the underground cave. Glow in the Dark Mushrooms gave them plenty of light to see and maneuver around the lair.

Pulling his fingers out from the human’s hungry hole and the man’s weeping erection from the mouth on his hand, the Alpha Apatu stepped back to examine the man again. “You will do nicely.” The Alpha rumbled, his nine whip-like tails releasing one of their many stingers. Interestingly the venom that killed some animals on the planet, only made things grow on humans. Three stingers on each of the nine tails with different venom and only one of them were deadly. Like a lightning strike, the tails stung into the man, one on each of the man’s chest, one on each hip, one on each ass cheek and one on the man’s weeping erection. The left over tails slid their stingers away and stroked the human’s free skin.

Only once the venom had successfully been pumped in did the Alpha Apatu get to what the human had been waiting for. The entrance of the man was still wet with the oils of the vines, so all the Alpha did was use a mouth off the palm of his hand and wet his erection before sliding into the human’s well-used ass. “There now, this is your place. I have defeated you, remember. I get to do as I wish with you, pet.” Pushing the human’s back against the wall, the Alpha Apatu fucked roughly into the man’s whole. Oh the human would feel pleasure right now but no doubt his ass would be feeling all of what he had been through tomorrow. Hands held onto the man’s hips as the human writhed in pleasure. Yes, the man would love getting speared by his Alpha’s cock often. All the areas stung would soon grow and his human would be ready for the next part of his transition. Neither the human nor the Alpha lasted long, it had been far too long since either of them had mated, it would seem instead once the Alpha Apatu had flooded the human’s hole, he pulled out, letting the man stand to feel how weak his legs had become. “Without me you are weak. You are empty. But with me you will be strong and full. You have earned your right to live by my side pet. I hope you learn to love it there.” The Alpha Apatu grabbed one of the glowing mushrooms, rearranging it’s structure so that it had two head, one smaller and one larger. Sliding this mutant mushroom into the human, he successfully plugged the man’s entrance so no more of his semen could get out. He couldn’t get pregnant but that didn’t mean the Alpha wanted him to think that the seed wasn’t worth anything. Besides if what his Apatu brother said was true than he could get the man pregnant soon.

Pulling a few bones from their last meal, the Alpha fashioned a collar around the human’s neck, owned. Everything about the human would scream that now. The tentacle vine released the human now to slide to the floor. The Alpha smirked, gently pulling the man over to clean his cock. The human started out hesitant but that didn’t last long. After all the man was hot over the idea of being a submissive, hopefully he wouldn’t fight that instinct long. Once his cock was clean the Alpha lifted the human and carried him back to the den where the Apatu Alpha now slept. “This time was a reward for your submission but know this now, pet. I own you down to your very soul now. Everything about you is mine. Your pleasure, your pain, your thoughts and your very climax are all mine now. I plugged you to keep my seed inside you until it became a part of you but know this now, I will not tolerate you finding pleasure by your own hand unless I order it from now on.”
