Chapter 18 – Comeuppance
“He's alive!” Zephira gasped as Alex struggled to breath. His entire body was in intense pain, but he was alive again. And thanks to Kizamu's contribution, his wounds had stopped bleeding and his strength had been partially restored.
“Hold him down. I don't care what the book says. I will take his soul myself.” Sylvia ordered as she quickly mounted the still recovering Alex.
Zephira hesitantly obeyed and pinned Alex's arms to the ground.
Using his newly revived strength, Alex thrashed his arms out of Zephira's grasp and sat bolt upright. He took aim and with as much force as he could muster, decked Sylvia right in the chin with a balled up fist. There was once a time when he would have instantly regretted hitting a woman, but Sylvia deserved no such consideration.
The succubus was dazed by the punch, giving Alex a chance to push her off and scramble away. He struggled to get to his feet and stepped away from the stunned pair. Zephira appeared unsure of what to do, while Sylvia got to her feet and stood before Alex shakily. She still appeared weak from their battle in the clouds.
“How dare you!” said the enraged half-demon as she rubbed her chin with a hand.
The three were then distracted as they heard something land with a loud squish on the ground behind Alex. He turned to look and saw the purple device that he had launched from his penis had finally landed. The three stared at it in stunned silence until Sylvia finally spoke.
“Get it Zephira!” Sylvia ordered urgently.
Both Alex and Zephira locked eyes before diving for the device with their arms outstretched. Alex got the upper hand and landed with his hand on the device. Zephira landed over-top his body so that her pussy was positioned directly in front of his face. She clawed at Alex's grip, trying desperately to wrench the device from his hands. Alex rolled over onto his back and managed to slide his hand directly under Zephira's body with the device clutched tightly in his fist
Then, something happened that Alex did not expect. When he accidentally grazed the lips of Zephira's pussy with the wicked apparatus, the tentacles within the opening sprang forth and shot deep into the moist lips of her pussy.
“AHHHH!!!” Zephira squealed as her entire body immediately went slack and dropped to the ground. Alex tried to hold onto the device, but the tentacles quickly snaked around the ghoul's thighs and waist as well. With its slippery body, it slid itself out of Alex's grasp and planted itself directly over the opening of Zephira's dripping sex. It appeared like a fleshy plant that had taken root within the ghoul's genitalia.
“No! Please!” Zephira moaned as the body of the device began to pump in a sucking motion. Alex watched in horror as the device expelled a pint of the same sticky syrup that had coated his crotch. It drenched Zephira's ass and legs with the stuff, giving off the familiar odor of rancid sex. After his experience with the device, he knew exactly what would happen if she were to cum.
“I'm begging you! It was all Sylvia! She made me betray you!” Zephira shouted out in both panic and pleasure. Sylvia, too weak to intervene, watched from a few feet behind Alex.
Alex closed his eyes tightly and tried to drown out the sound of Zephira's cries for help. She deserved her fate for hurting him and his friends. For her cruelty, she would receive her just dessert.
“Please...” she begged with a trembling voice. She was gripping the grass and her legs were thrashing wildly. Alex looked and saw that the device had grown an extra appendage that had enveloped Zephira's clitoris and was massaging it rapidly.
“DAMMIT!” Alex growled as he lunged forward and grasped the device with both hands. He squeezed as tightly as he could and tugged with all of his might, pulling the device out of her pussy with a disgusting slurping sound. Zephira's mouth hung open and her body went rigid the device was removed from her quivering sex. As the last tentacle was pulled free, Zephira went completely limp and motionless, as though paralyzed. It appeared that Alex was just in time to prevent her from climaxing, for better or worse.
“I don't know if it really was Sylvia that was controlling you, but you don't deserve such a terrible fate.” he said without looking at Zephira.
“You are weak.” said Sylvia with a chuckle.
Alex turned his eyes to Sylvia and glared at her seriously.
“I cannot believe that a weakling like you could have defeated me earlier, but it won't happen again.” she added, raising her hands and pointing her tail at him like a dagger.
“This is going to end. Right now.” Alex said, utterly calm and in control. He placed the dormant device on the ground next to him and raised his fists. All of Agari's training returned to him. The two of them would put everything remaining in their bodies into one attack. It would be over in flash. Their month of rivalry would come to an end in an exchange that would last mere seconds.
The two stared at each other for the longest time, sizing each other up and trying to determine the others weakness and strategy. Sylvia's tail offered her an extra appendage to attack with, but Alex's strength was greater. The area went silent as the tension between the two mounted. As the clouds continued to move overhead, a crack in the cover allowed for a beam of light to shine on the ground between them.
With a war cry from the two enemies, both Alex and Sylvia charged forward and struck fast. Sylvia's tail and hands immediately darted straight for the side of Alex's neck in an attempt to coil around it, but Alex had anticipated her strategy. He had already jumped off the ground and ducked under her tail as he landed. With Sylvia standing directly over his body, Alex used his legs to bounce back up and struck Sylvia's chin with a brutal uppercut. By using the momentum of his crouch to increase the strength of the blow, Sylvia's feet left the ground and her body arced backwards. She landed on her back and remained still. Alex had won.
He took a moment to breathe and stared down into Sylvia's hateful eyes. The woman that had been kind to him during their first meeting. The woman that he had trusted and even risked his life to help. All a facade in an effort to rob him of his soul.
“Sylvia, I can never forgive you for what you've done.” Alex said, doing his best to hold back tears as he remembered Kizamu's face.
“I wish I didn't have to do this to you. I wish you could have just been the kind elf that I once knew you as.” he said as walked back to where he had left the device and leaned over to pick it up. He carried it back to Sylvia, who did not appear the least bit frightened. She started to laugh, slowly at first and increasing in volume as Alex grew closer.
“You haven't beaten me. Even if you use that, my soul will be drained right alone with yours. And when you inject it back into your body, I will be right there with it. From within your very heart, I will torment you. I will haunt your dreams and corrupt your thoughts. You will never be rid of me.” she said as she laughed cruelly.
Alex paused for a moment and looked at the device in his hand. He looked back and Sylvia, who ceased to laugh, for she saw something in Alex's face that she found disconcerting. Something that she did not expect to see. Confidence.
“As long as I have my friends, I will always have the strength to resist you.” Alex said with finality, and with those words, he tossed the pulsating device down onto Sylvia's stomach, where the opening immediately exploded with tentacles that quickly squirmed their way down to her sex.
Sylvia tried frantically to get a grip on the device, but its tentacles had already coiled around her thighs and waist. She managed to get her hands around its slippery skin, but the added leverage from the tentacles allowed it to pull itself from her hands and down to her groin. With a clear shot in, a cluster of tentacles burst from the device's slimy opening and deep into Sylvia's parasitic pussy.
“Nooooo!” the demon screamed as her whole body began to tremble with pleasure. She sat up and tried desperately to get a firm hold on the device, but Alex pushed her back down into the grass, holding her there by the shoulders. His face was devoid of any pity for the demon.
“You bastard!” she hissed, thrashing wildly and raking with her fingernails in an effort to cause Alex pain. After their battle, and the fact that she was still a half-demon, rendered her lacking in the strength to force Alex off.
“I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let you hurt anybody again.” Alex said as he looked deep into Sylvia's eyes to prove that he wasn't afraid.
“I cannot die. I will live on forever!” Sylvia growled. Her legs were thrashing wildly as the purple device at her groin began to pump with a disgusting, wet sucking noise.
“Then my body will be your prison, where I can keep an eye on you at all times.” Alex replied calmly.
“Curse you.” Sylvia muttered as she rolled her head to the side and began to moan as though being tortured. Alex noticed that her skin was growing colder. He looked down and saw that the device had expelled its purple digestive gel, and was thrusting its tentacles with a renewed vigor. Twice had it been denied the sweet taste of a soul. Now it would fulfill its hunger.
“Alex, please.” Sylvia moaned pitifully, but the image of Kizamu's expired face kept his resolve strong. He shook his head and closed his eyes. He knew the moment was nearing, and did not want to see the life drain from the demon's face.
“This...isn't...over...” Sylvia gasped, just before her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. The moan of a strangled orgasm escaped her throat. Every muscle in her body had tensed up. From within her thieving pussy, her comeuppance was being served. As the fluids of a splendid orgasm flowed, so did the two souls within her heart. Alex kept his eyes shut as he felt Sylvia's flesh grow ice cold. The device sucked loudly and hungrily as it gobbled up every last bit of spiritual energy within the succubus. Her horns, tail, and single wing disappeared from her flesh as the stolen half of Alex's soul left her body.
A final gasp escaped from Sylvia's mouth as her own wicked soul followed soon after Alex's. The device drained her mercilessly until there was nothing left to be drained. As the last bit of Sylvia's soul left her body, the device retracted its tendrils and dropped to the ground, completely dormant.
Alex opened his eyes and took one last look at Sylvia. He felt a pain in his heart as he recognized the sweet and gentle face of the elf that he had first met. Even though he knew that it was just a facade, the innocent image still remained in his mind. He gently closed her eyes with a pair of fingers and bowed his head for a moment. Ever since meeting Manisha, Alex had learned that not all demons were evil. What had it been that made Sylvia so ambitious to become a full succubus? She could have gone on living as an elf, helping her village and existing peacefully.
“Goodbye.” Alex whispered. He stood and retrieved the device in his hand, careful to keep it away from his crotch. He then noticed a pair of dull lights inside its fleshy body. He examined it closely and saw a faint, blue light mixed with a more significant dark aura. He could only surmise that it was the half of his soul and Sylvia's. He began to worry if Sylvia's energy was tainting his other half from within the device, but he couldn't afford to worry about that now. His friends were still trapped by the dark slimes.
“Master?” Zephira called out from her place in the grass, just a few feet away. Alex turned his head to see whom she was referring to. He frowned when he realized that she was looking directly at him. Her body was still trembling and her face was soaked with sweat. It appeared that she was trying desperately not to touch herself.
“You just follow the one with the most power, don't you.” Alex said, utterly disgusted and ashamed.
“I'm sorry. Please forgive my betrayal.” she begged desperately as she rolled onto all fours and walked towards Alex like an obedient dog.
“Go to the ocean and clean yourself off. If you go too far and lose control while that stuff is still on you, you'll die.” Alex said as he pointed towards the ocean in the distance. Zephira followed his finger and looked back with longing desperation in her eyes.
“Please, take me with you.” she pleaded, grabbing Alex by the thigh.
“Let go!” Alex growled as he pulled his leg free.
“If I ever see you again, I think Agari will have a thing or two to say, with her fists.” Alex said firmly as he turned his back on Zephira and went to retrieve his shorts. He slipped them on and ran in the direction of the village. He had a long run ahead of him, but it was a run that he would have to make. He didn't know how much time his friends had left.
“Master.” Zephira groaned tearfully as she watched Alex leave. She gave Sylvia one last look before wiping her tears away and running in the direction of the ocean, leaving the expired demon behind. After she was well clear of the area, a red aura appeared next to Sylvia's body, bringing with it a tall man in strange clothes.
“An unfortunate outcome, but not entirely unexpected. I am sorry, my dear. But it appears that you were simply too flawed.” he muttered as he looked down at Sylvia's body with utter indifference. He raised his hand and focused his palm on her body, causing it to undergo a change. Every cell in her body morphed into pure energy. Crimson energy that mimicked the red aura of the strange man.
After her body had been completely transformed into energy, the man clenched his hand, causing his body to draw the energy into his own aura. He closed his eyes as the chaotic force surrounded him, strengthening his aura and body.
“Well done my boy. Evana certainly made a satisfying choice when she picked you to be my research subject. It will be a shame to dispose of you, once you have outlived your purpose.” the man muttered to himself as he shook his head.
***
Alex ran as fast as he could through the jungle, but Kizamu's gift of strength was quickly leaving him. In spite of him pushing his body as hard as he could, he inevitably began to slow and eventually, stop. As he leaned against a tree to catch his breath, he realized that he was having trouble just standing. His legs were trembling and sore, and a painful cramp in his side was keeping him from breathing easily. He slid down to his knees and slammed the ground with his fist.
“Dammit! I can't stop now!” he growled as he tried to force himself to stand, but his body had had enough. He collapsed onto his back and breathed deeply, silently urging his body to recover as quickly as possibly. It seemed so hopeless. The amount of ground he would have to cover to reach the elfin village was just too vast.
Suddenly, he felt something nudge his sandaled foot. He ignored it, assuming that it was just an involuntary muscle spasm, but then he felt it again. Harder and more insistent this time.
“What the fuck?” he muttered as he strained his neck upwards to look down at what was disturbing him. He retracted his legs quickly, as he saw what appeared to be a thin, green snake.
“Wait...” he said as he realized that it wasn't a snake.
“A vine?” he said confusedly as he scrambled upright to examine it closer. It was indeed a vine with shiny, green skin. The tip of the vine grew closer to Alex's face and brushed across his lips with its moist exterior. As Alex touched his lips with a hand, he realized that he knew this vine.
“Alraune?!” he said in disbelief, not surprised when he didn't receive any response from the plant appendage. Defying the decisions of his body, Alex forced himself to his feet and stepped towards the vine. The green tendril gently wrapped around his wrist and pulled lightly, urging him onward.
“Please, take me to her.” Alex whispered. He followed the vine's lead and walked after it while being pulled forward. His legs were sending his brain urgent rest messages, but he refused to acknowledge them. If this really was the Alraune he knew, then he may yet have a chance to reach his friends in time.
Every forced step was a severe shock to Alex's body. He hadn't truly rested since the night before his battle with Jora, and was utterly exhausted and drained of energy. As the storm clouds overhead began to clear, Alex felt the warmth of the sun on his clammy skin, bringing some comfort to his aching bones. It still did little to aid him in his travel, and after a mere five minutes, he stumbled and dropped down on all fours. The vine at his wrist released him and rubbed his cheek concernedly, wondering why he stopped.
“I just...need to...rest.” Alex gasped as sweat ran down his face. He couldn't recall the last time he felt so ruined. So utterly exhausted. Even his great desire to see Alraune again could not return him to his feet.
The vine stayed with Alex for a few moments before retracting back into the forest without him.
“Hey! Don't leave!” Alex groaned weakly. When the vine didn't return, he dropped to his stomach and laid still. He closed his eyes to shield them from the sun, and focused on his steady breathing. Just a little rest and he would be able to make it.
Just moments before he passed out from exhaustion, he felt something wrap around his ankle. He assumed that the vine had returned to lead him the rest of the way, but there was still nothing he could do. His body had not recovered enough.
Then, he felt another vine coil around his other ankle. Then another, and another. Both of his legs were being entirely covered with a series of vines. Their wet and cool exteriors felt pleasant on his exposed legs, but they didn't stop there. He flinched as he felt a cool vines wrap around his stomach, arms, and chest. He was being cocooned in an organic suit of plants.
The vines continued to coil around his body until every below his neck was completely encased in the pulsing tendrils. He felt them lift him of the ground and opened his eyes when they turned him upright. He glanced down and saw ripples of the vines all over his body. He wasn't frightened though. His first love had sent them to retrieve him, and he was grateful for it. The vines all pulsed lightly, massaging his aching muscles. He smiled as the comfort of being cradled like a baby overtook him. The sky floated by overhead as he was carried to Alraune.
It didn't take long until the trees began to thin overhead, giving way to a familiar clearing. The sun shone down without any obstruction, bathing the area in warmth and light. Alex felt butterflies in his stomach as the vines came to a stop. He smiled as he felt a pair of sun-warmed hands caress his cheeks.
“I'd say it's good to see you, but I can't see you.” Alex said with a laugh, feeling his heart flood with warmth as he heard her reply with a happy giggle.
“I can't believe you're back. I've missed you so much, my love.” Alraune replied. The vines then turned Alex around and angled him upright so that they were face to face.
“Oh my, you've changed. You've gotten...” Alraune stopped as she looked for the right word.
“Sexier?” Alex offered hopefully.
Alraune laughed and urged the vines to carry Alex closer. She embraced him tightly from the edge of her pod, moaning with pure happiness. Alex would have loved to return her hug, but his limbs were still horribly sore and weak.
“I'm sorry, but I have to ask for your help.” Alex said seriously, sad that he had to cut the moment short.
“What's wrong?” Alraune asked as she released Alex and looked at him with concern. She ran a hand along his vine covered arm and suddenly appeared worried.
“What has happened to you? You're in pain.” Alraune said. She lifted Alex's arm and rubbed it in an effort to comfort him.
“Yeah, it's a long story. Reeeeally long. Suffice to say that I've made some new friends, and they're in trouble. I have to help them.” Alex explained.
“Say no more, love. I understand.” Alraune said with a nod as she raised Alex up and over the rim of the pod with her vines, which began to uncoil themselves from his feet up. Alraune removed Alex's sandals and dropped them on the ground outside the pod. As the vines uncovered Alex's groin, Alraune pulled off his shorts and deposited them with his footwear, rendering him completely naked.
“Thank you.” Alex said as the vines lowered him into the pool of warm nectar. He relaxed as his feet entered into the heavenly fluid, bringing forth a wonderful tingling that felt like a mild electrical charge. His legs followed, enhancing the sensation and sending him into a state of pure bliss. Alraune smiled warmly as she watched Alex enjoy himself.
From his vantage point above the pod, Alex caught a glimpse of what appeared to be multiple flower buds that had begun to grow from the bottom of the plant. Their petals were tightly wrapped into a cone shape, and were a lighter shade of pink than Alraune's petals.
“Are those...” Alex said, pointing at one of the buds.
“They are your children.” Alraune said happily as she took his hand in hers. Alex's mind reeled at the thought of being a father, but Alraune was a plant, so did it really count?
Regardless, those thoughts were quickly wiped from his mind as Alex's groin reached the nectar, soaking his weary genitals in the healing pool. He blushed as his blood began to grow warmer and his member began to pulse. In such close quarters with Alraune, there was no hope of her not noticing. She smiled naughtily as his cock grazed her leg on the way down into the pod.
“Hey, you wanna?” she whispered seductively as she pressed her breasts up against Alex's chest. She dipped a finger into the pool of nectar and raised it up to her lips, smearing it on like a sweet lipstick. With such an appetizing display, how could Alex resist? He held Alraune's head and took the initiative, kissing her deeply. The familiar taste of her sweet nectar exploded on his tongue, which he lapped it up eagerly. As he pulled away from Alraune's mouth, a string of nectar and saliva hung from their lips, joining them together.
“If we can make it extremely quick.” he said. He understood the need to hurry, but it would take some time in the pool for a full recovery. No need for them to just stand there shooting the breeze.
“That shouldn't be a problem for you.” Alraune teased, sending a spike through Alex's heart.
“Hey!” he said indignantly as he pouted his lip and turned away from Alraune.
“Aww.” said the plant girl as she placed a hand on his cheek. She pulled Alex's face back towards her and lunged forward forcefully, pressing Alex's back against the fleshy wall of the pod. She smothered him in a passionate kiss that fed Alex more of the miracle nectar. He marveled as the pain and weakness in his body began to disappear.
While Alex was busy enjoying the euphoria of the healing nectar, Alraune slipped a hand down to his crotch and gently stroked his fast growing member. Alex moaned as Alraune used the lubricating trait of the nectar to its fullest. With Alraune's soft touch, Alex's cock quickly grew to full length and was throbbing with great need. Alex was surprised that he was still capable of getting erect, considering his ordeal with the disgusting purple device.
As Alex enjoyed the feel of Alraune's soft flesh against his, he felt warm fluid begin to ooze down his back and onto his shoulders. He turned his head and saw one of the vines was expelling a stream of golden nectar from a tight opening in its tip. Three other vines were doing the same, bathing Alex in a healing shower of gold.
While the vines did their work, Alraune seemed satisfied with Alex's newly formed erection, and was ready to make use of it. In exactly the same way she had during their first mating, Alraune raised her body higher in the pod and slid down onto Alex's cock, impaling herself on it like a post.
Alex trembled with excitement as Alraune placed her hands on his shoulders and proceeded to bob up and down in the pool of nectar, causing the pod to sway as waves of golden fluid splashed around them. He wrapped his arms around Alraune's midsection and assisted her movements.
“I knew you would return to me.” Alraune moaned, her hair waving up and down with a steady motion. Her pussy lips wrapped tightly around Alex's cock, as though never wanting to let him go.
“I knew it too, but I cannot stay with you long.” Alex replied sadly, thrusting his hips and plunging his cock deeper into the plant girl's heavenly pussy.
“I wish I could keep you forever, my love. I want so badly to just close my petals around you and never let you leave my embrace.” said Alraune as she lurched forward and held Alex tightly, brushing the side of his face with her soft, green hair. Alex got a little nervous as he saw the pink petals around him begin to twitch anxiously.
“But I will respect your wish. I will allow you to leave me so that you may help others that you care for. I will remain here alone with my children, forever awaiting your next visit with open arms. That is how much I love you.” Alraune said as golden tears streamed down her face and ran down Alex's back.
Alex felt his chest fill with raw emotion, for he realized just how pure Alraune's love really was. It would be so easy for her to just wrap him up and hold him forever, so that she would never have to be lonely again. Her very instincts seemed to demand that she do so, indicated by the quivering petals. Even though they had only shared a few brief moments in time together, her love was strong enough for her to resist her natural urges. Alex hardly felt deserving of such pure selflessness, but he loved her back for it nonetheless.
As he felt his impending orgasm build up to a crescendo, he wrapped his arms around Alraune and held her a closely as possible. Her warmth and comfort was something that he would truly hate to leave, but he knew that he could always return to visit if he wished in the future. As they say, distance only makes a relationship stronger.
The two cried out in euphoria as their orgasms exploded. The warm and sticky juice of Alraune's pleasure washed over Alex's cock while ropes of hot semen shot deep into the plant girl's womb. The two remained standing in the pod, panting and sweating as their reproductive organs expelled the fruits of a truly splendid mating.
“Thank you. Now my children will have even more sisters.” Alraune whispered lovingly as she stroked the back of Alex's head with her hand.
“I can't wait to come back and see them.” Alex replied contentedly.
“They are not far from blooming, so make sure you return to me soon.” said Alraune.
“I will. After everything has been fixed, I promise I will.” Alex replied.
Alraune used her vines to assist Alex in exiting the pod. He stretched his muscles and bounced on his feet a couple times to check the condition of his body. He was amazed at how the nectar had healed him and restored his strength. He retrieved his shorts and sandals and put them on. Before picking up the device that house both his, and Sylvia's soul, he hugged Alraune goodbye.
“Good luck. I will be awaiting your return, my love.” Alraune said as she released Alex.
“Thank you for everything.” Alex said. He turned to the direction of the same exit that he had used when he first met Alraune, and ran with renewed vigor in the direction of this village. Thanks to the first woman that he had ever loved, he had regained the strength to help his friends. The evil of Sylvia was almost completely undone, and when it was, he would happily return to visit Alraune and his children.
“I'm a father...” Alex muttered in quiet amazement as he bolted through the woods as fast as his legs would carry him.
