"T-This place is suuuper big." Eztli meowled as he explored the coordiors of Nikita's spacious and sturdy underground fortress. There were so many nice Extraspecies here! And so many strong Extraspecies too. Ilia, one of the medics, followed alongside the excited jaguar to ensure he did not get lost or get into anything he wasn't supposed to. "It's super nice not having to wear clothes all the time; I love being nakies!" Eztli grinned, stretching out his body like a happy feline, purring in delight.
"It is, although not as practical," Ilia smiled, "but it is alright. Feel safe, for this fortress is quite secure, I assure you."
"I know, and it's so fun here too!" Eztli grinned, curling his tail and looking around like an excited kitten. He had memorized a lot of the areas he was allowed to go in but he was still so excited seeing them again. "I'd love it even more if Sabre and Jackie were here too." The jaguar slightly pouted, glancing over to Ilia with big kitty eyes.
Ilia coughed at the familiarity at which the feline referred to a powerful Amako and his human ex-host. "You have other friends to play with, Mr. Balam."
"But all the others aren't here anymore. It's no fun without them here too." Eztli meowled, missing his friends. He occasionally saw Kroc and Jaska but they were normally too tired to play and instead fell right to sleep. Sometimes Eztli was lucky enough to find a cuddle buddy at night but most of the time he had to sleep alone. Which was very lonely; he didn't like that.
"That is because they recovered so they could go." Ilia sighed at the bastet's kitten-like behavior. "Once you are deemed healed you too can go, but we need to evaluate you further to be sure you are alright."
"How much longer? I miss my friends." Eztli softly meowled, clearly antsy.
The owl smiled, setting a wing on his head to pet the rambunctious jaguar. "Be patient. It surely won't be too much longer."
As the snow owl went on explaining about the architecture choices, Eztli's mind drifted off to thoughts of cuddling Sabre and the others while the host pet him. He loudly purred in delight at the memory, comforting himself. He hated being alone and he felt pretty lonely there despite making so many new friends. The feline really missed his friends - and Jackie too. Eztli emitted a slight whine, recalling the last he saw of her; bloodied and battered, telling him he was a bad kitty. His ears pulled back, feeling a horrible pang in his chest. They were all playing - or so he thought. He didn't realize his playing was hurting her so badly. Or rather, that was what he liked to think. A small part of him knew he was hurting her but he didn't care; and that scared him. He was a bad kitty - a very, very bad kitty and hurt people he cared about. As the jaguar was lost in his thoughts, he picked up on a comforting scent. He sniffed the air a few times, hos sorrow momentarily forgotten as he licked his lips in anticipation. He smelled milk; fresh, rich, tasty milk! With a quick turn Eztli began happily hopping down a long flight of stairs, heading right towards the delicious smell.
"Jaguar?" Ilia called, noticing he was gone before seeing the jaguar descending into the dungeon; Kuna's domain. "No, Eztli Balam! Do not go that way!" Ilia cried after him, fluttering his feathers in a panic at the entrance of the stairs. He did not dare go into Kuna's domain in fear of her anger. His feathers fluffed, distraught before he rushed off to find some guards who would brave entering Kuna's domain.
Reaching the floor below, the jaguar tenderly sniffed the frigid air. Eztli excitedly followed the scent of milk with his tail excitedly twisting. With quiet paws he found the door with the strongest delicious scent and found a large minotaur lying on her back, comfortably nude and dead asleep with a very messy in the room. Eztli's ears flickered, finding the delicious smell to be too appealing to turn back now. Despite the scary items all over the room and the scent of the female's heat, the cautious kitty slipped inside. The jaguar crept over to the sleeping Extraspecies, sniffing her teet for a moment before he latched on like a suckling kitten. As he suckled, he crawled partially on top of the female and deeply purred, feeling very comfortable between her enormous pillowy breasts.
From down the hall, the master of the dungeon picked up on the unfamiliar scent. The mature marten's pupils tightened to slits as she followed the intruding scent in her dungeon. Whatever new trainee was foolish enough to come into her domain was about to get the pummeling of a lifetime. She growled, following the scent into the minotaur Medeia's room. Kuna murderously smirked; if the trainee was lucky enough to survive, he was going to be mentally damaged for quite some time. She silently entered the room, spotting an unusually lean jaguar cuddling one of her current victims, suckling and purring like a small kitten with a very serene expression on his face.
"Oh, a visitor in my domains. Did you come to use the other guests?" Kuna asked, baring her fangs. No one dared harm or use her 'guests' without her orders or permission, lest they become guests themselves. Then again, anyone coming here and not working for her was a permanent guest in her domain.
Eztli peeked up over the mountain and pulled away with an excited grin at the potential new friend. "Hi, I'm Eztli. What's your name?" Eztli greeted, continuing to purr and lick his whiskers.
"Kuna," she smirked, expecting the name to strike fear into the cheeky Extraspecies' eyes but saw only friendliness in his innocent gaze. "What made you decide to come join me down here in the dungeon? I hope you realize that getting into the dungeon is rather easy but leaving is a nasty b****," she grinned with a short cackle, noticing his unusual piercings. Unless Extraspecies spent a long time with humans, most Extraspecies did not get piercings.
"I smelled some tasty milk and followed it. Her milk is so yummy!" Eztli grinned before turning and cuddling against the minotaur while the Taura was completely out of commission. Eztli purred and, not wanting to be rude, gently tilted the teet her way. "Do you want some too?"
"Those are big, yes?" Kuna confidently approached, thinking this visitor to be one of the more weird ones before she noticed his scent carried the smells of Jaska, Aleksey and Nikita. With that alone, her interest was piqued.
"Yeah! They're so nice." Eztli excitedly purred, flipping his tail around.
"And just who are you? You smell like certain tigers … and this other scent ... you have a scent that Aleksey also has on him." The marten narrowed her eyes, sniffing him a little more fervently to identify the other scent.
"I'm Eztli." Eztli paused for a moment, thinking, "oh, that's Sabre's scent. Her milk tastes good too," he purred, closing his eyes and showing signs of comfort.
"Sabre?! The royal fluff with a sexy curvy tail?" Kuna's eyes widened, her interest now certain in the strange intruder. "Would you perhaps be a concubine of the royal?" She was eager to take this chance and get some dirt on Aleksey for later.
"No, I'm not." Eztli said with his purr quieting a bit, rumbling just enough to barely be heard. "Dumisa is though."
"The name sounds familiar." Kuna recognized the name from somewhere; perhaps Aleksey had mentioned it? Clearly it made little impression on her, as she couldn't recall where heard of it.
"Yeah. He's a black mamba. He's super nice and cuddles me in his coils. They feel sooo good, especially when he squeezes me tight!" Eztli laughed, purring louder at the thought.
"A male black mamba lamia?" Kuna's mouth was lightly opening, remembering a certain male lamia who had made a pass at her. There weren't that many male lamias, much less specifically black mambas, and much less there in siberia. In her grasp and offering himself to her-! SHE HAD PASSED DOWN A ROYAL CONCUBINE! Kuna gasped, emitting a small growl and realizing she could have slept with a royal's concubine. How often did a chance like that come along? Never! And she missed hers!
"Yes! He's so nice." Eztli grinned with adoring eyes.
"How is it that you know the sexy Amako, her concubine and everyone else, Nikita included? Who are you, kitty?" Kuna slightly pulled on his ears, regretfully letting out an internal scream at the lost opportunity. She would need to hunt that concubine down later and accept his earlier invitation.
"I'm Eztli." Eztli answered with a big grin.
"Details, cat." Kuna growled, irritably tapping her tail against the ground.
"I'm friends with Sabre and Jaska and Aleksey." Eztli grinned, "and Nikita is going to show me how to be a big strong kitty!" He excitedly exclaimed.
"Why would Nikita train you?" She asked, still suffering from her mistake with the snake but deeply curious about Nikita taking an interest in this kitty. Many tried to ask the alpha of alphas to train them but he rarely accepted; not unless the candidate was incredibly promising in some way.
"He said he would because I," he hesitated, thinking back to the mean snow leopards when they found out he could go feral and control it, "h-he said he would," Eztli said, glancing away with his ears pulled back.
Kuna growled, barring her fangs and losing her patience. "Say it, kitty, or I will take the minotaur milk away. Don't make me mad or no more milky treats." The marteen threatened.
Eztli gasped, hugging the breasts tightly, "o-ok, I'll tell! S-so don't be mad." He said, uneasily twisting his tail.
Kuna took on a more 'friendly' expression. "It's ok, kitty. I'm nice and I've known Nikita for a long time."
"Well, I-I can control my feral self. But, but I'm not a big strong kitty like Nikita, even though I can do that too." He admitted with his ears pulled back.
"You can?" She raised an eyebrow, doubtful. "Show me."
Eztli flinched, looking nervous. "No; you'll hurt me like the mean kitties did." Eztli pouted, flicking his tail back and forth. "I didn't do anything but they hurt me f-for showing them."
Kuna barked up a loud laugh. "I am an alpha, little kitten. I can beat anyone who dares attack me. If you wish to try my words, then do so."
"B-But why would I attack you?" He asked, confused. "I don't want to hurt anyone."
"Then go feral and prove it, kitty." Kuna stood up, puffing her chest and crossing her arms while giving a toothy grin.
"A-And you won't hurt me?" He asked, trying to hide himself behind the Taura.
"I won't hurt you, kitty cat. I can go feral too." The marten toothily smirked, losing her patience with the thick headed feline.
Eztli gasped, excited, "really?!" He asked with his eyes glowing in excitement.
Kuna's eyes shone and she grin widened, momentarily becoming feral and closely watching the feline for his reaction. If what he said was true, this could be interesting.
Eztli's eyes glowed in excitement as he sealed his lips together tightly, smiling so hard he squealed in excitement. He hopped off the cow and righted himself, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes before opening them again with his pupils slitted and a toothy vicious smirk. "See? I can do that too." He said as his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Kuna applauded him. The immediate personality change was obvious and so was his disposition. "Now, kitty. Can you change back too?" She stopped her clapping and placed her hands on her low hips. "I want to see if you can really do it multiple times."
Eztli did as she asked, going in and out of his feral state quite a few times. He was confused but wasn't going to question it. "See? I can do it. I'm going to be such a big strong kitty!" Eztli excitedly cheered, throwing his paws up into the air excitedly.
"Perhaps so." Kuna grinned before he picked up the shockingly light jaguar. He was lankey for a jaguar, who were normally bulky and one of the more muscled types of felines. With some proper training, he'd be able to bulk up and become a fearsome predator. Eztli grinned and hugged her, purring loudly as he nibbled on her ears. Kuna's nasty grin was hidden as she headed to her personal quarters, kicking open the door before dumping Eztli onto the bed. "Here, drink this." She said, taking out a fresh glass of milk before sending out a message to a follower to bring her an Eztli Balam's folders. This clearly malnourished jaguar was able to go feral but was clearly not trained to do so. His movements were too innocent, too naive to show proper training, which was needed to control a feral state. Something was strange here, and she was curious to find out more. Kuna then sat at her computer, pulling up some information but it wasn't much.
Eztli deeply purred, finishing off the tasty milk quickly as he laid on her bed and cuddled with the very soft and warm blankets. "Your bed is so fluffy, I'm sinking into it. So soft! Much warmth! Such good!" Eztli laughed, flopping around in excitement.
A deep knock resonated as Kuna opened the door, taking the documents out from the guard's trembling paws before shutting the door just as quickly. She opened up the files and began to read through them, disappointed to see hardly anything on his file at all. She frowned, pulling out her phone and calling Longwei up on her phone. Considering how small the jaguar was, he was likely a case of abuse; which made it all the more strange he could control his feral self.
"Yes, Kuna?" Longwei greeted, polite as usual.
"Wei-wei," she grinned, "there is a black kitten that wandered into my domain and I can't find much on his file to decide if he is a new permanent resident or just a visitor of mine."
" … I see." The dragon spoke, immediately treating this as a hostage situation. Anyone who wandered into Kuna's domain belonged to her; and she rarely gave up anyone without rather severe physical and mental damage, "and what are your demands for his release?"
"Release?" Kuna laughed, enjoying the dragon's discomfort. "I don't even know much about him to consider releasing him. Send me his real file and I'll consider it."
Longwei let out a heavy sigh and, after a few moments, she was sent an email. She opened it, glancing over it and paused. It was the same informationless document like the ones she already had access to.
"Where's the real document, dragon?" Kuna growled. "The document you just sent has no new information than what I just dug up in the past d*** five minutes."
"That is all the information we have other than testimonies. Nikita has yet to write down the jaguar's testimonies regarding his previous 'owners'.' Longwei explained. "He is a serious case of hooman abuse, Kuna, and mentally damaged as well. He does not deserve whatever kind of torture you plan on delivering to him." Longwei spoke as Kuna glanced over to the jaguar bouncing and frolicking around on her bed. "So I suggest you release him before I come down myself to get him."
"He is my territory, therefore those fluffy pierced balls are mine. You can of course try to come and challenge me, but when you lose to me and hit that broken horn in the low ceiling of my lovely dungeon, your stiff a** is mine for 24 hrs to do with it all I please with whatever is left of you after I win." The marten mercilessly smirked.
"I am not jesting, Kuna. His case is by far the worst sexual abuse I have seen - and has survived without going permanently feral." Longwei growled through the phone.
"Sexual abuse then? Which type? Give me details, you d*** prude." Kuna urged as Eztli rolled about on her bed without a worry in the world.
Longwei hesitated before he let out a heavy sigh. "Anything and everything you can imagine. There isn't a single thing that hasn't been conceived in the most disgusting hooman brain that has not been done to that poor feline. It is amazing he is as mentally stable as he is."
"Stop giving me that crap, Wei-wei. Just show me the real d*** file. I saw him go feral and control himself; a mentally unstable Extraspecies would not be able to do that." Kuna growled.
"I cannot, Kuna. This is a case concerning bastets; Nikita is aware of his situation and has agreed to help direct him in alpha training. This is none of your concern, Kuna." Longwei spoke.
"Anything in my territory is my concern." She snapped back at him. "And it seems I'll have to ask him myself, yes? I can do that either in a bed or a cell, maybe both." She wickedly grinned.
"Don't you dare, Kuna." Longwei hissed, "he needs help; not torture."
"That's your point of view. But how would I know if there is no file to tell me?" She said with a fake cutesy voice, enjoying getting under the stiff dragon's scales.
"I will not send the file, Kuna. I am coming to pick up the jaguar now." Longwei said.
"Oh, then you want to join in the fun? You should have told me earlier and I would have personally warmed your cold scales." She then hung up and turned to the Eztli, whom was aggressively snuggling her big bed. "Hey, kitty. Do you know Mengyao Longwei? A cold dragon that sometimes acts like he has something stuck up his a** for days?"
Eztli stopped rolling around and laid on his back as he tilted his head back and looked at Kuna with an uneasy expression. "He's a mean dragon." Eztli huffed, rolling over again and hugging Kuna's pillow while giving Kuna his back. "Not nice."
"Did he do anything mean to you?" She asked, jumping on the bed by his side and looking him up and down. He was a little scrawny but his muscles were defined and the piercings looked fun to play with.
"He stepped on my friend. He hurt my host. He's mean to people I love." Eztli nervously frowned, curling into a tighter ball. "I don't like him."
"Well, why don't you stay here for a while? It's my territory after all. Unless you want to go with back him." She suggested with a toothy grin.
"I want to stay here." Eztli yowled. "I don't like going anywhere with him. He's scary." He said, flipping his tail back and forth in discomfort.
Kuna laughed at that, enjoying how she could tease the dragon later about this. "Then stay here for a bit. We can have fun. Do you want a drink? We can even have some nice fun with your feral state. I think that would be interesting for your feral self and I could see how much you can really control it."
"Si!" Eztli excitedly shouted, throwing his arms into the air and stretching. "What kinds of games? And yes, I like tasty drinks, like that milk! And tasty alcohol too." Eztli purred, leaning over to Kuna and gently nuzzling her.
"What kind of game would you like, sugar bum?" She asked, nuzzling back and rubbing herself on him and making her body look inviting.
"Tag? I play that all the time with Antain." He grinned. "Hmmm or maybe stalk the host!" He excitedly exclaimed before paused and turned his ears down. " … ah. The host isn't feeling well though. And she's not here." Eztli frowned, appearing disheartened as he remembered going feral during the full moon.
The marten blinked, her mouth open for a moment with a doubfolded expression. He … truly was a kitten in an adult's body. "Well, I know a very bad mouse inmate that has been very bad to other poor Extraspecies, and I'm sure you would enjoy playing chase." She grinned, scratching Eztli's ears. "Although there some other more adult games too, if you know what I mean."
"What kind of adult games? Are they games only big strong kitties can play?" He asked, sounding more and more excited. "What kind of game is it?"
"Mating." She stated, deciding to more directly state what she meant. This feline was annoyingly dense, but she couldn't help but be interested in his strange situation.
"Oh." Eztli stated, pausing for a moment. He stared at the bed for a few moments in thought, nervously curling his tail before lightly blushing, "o-okay." He said as his ears pulled back and lowering himself slightly.
Kuna grinned before she grabbed the male and pinned him down, getting a better look at all of his nice piercings. Most Extraspecies did not pierce themselves but she for one loved them on her prey. The mature marten bit his ear, tugging on it as Eztli purred and nuzzled under her chin, showing his submission to her.
"C'mon kitty. I'll make you scream, and you'll like it." She chuckled, getting on top of Eztli and already enjoying the little play as he purred and submitted to her aggressiveness. As Kuna rubbed his hips, she heard the fast steps of an approaching dragon before Longwei threw the door opened and spotted Kuna on top of the poor black jaguar.
"Enough, Kuna! You've had your fun, now release the young jaguar." Longwei demanded as he stepped inside and took a cautious stance against the marten.
"Oh, do you want to take the kitty, Longwei?" Kuna laughed a bit, looking at the dragon and scratching Eztli's chin. "Come and take him then."
"N-NO!" Eztli shouted, quickly squirming out from under Kuna and hiding behind the marten. "I'm not going, g-go away!" Eztli demanded while using the marten as a shield.
"Eztli Balam, you are messing with forces you do not yet understand. Now come with me." Longwei spoke, unsettled by Kuna's smug grin.
"NO!" Eztli shouted, pressing himself against the bed and trying to hide himself behind the small marten before his claws dug into the cushions. "I'm not going and you can't make me! You're mean!"
"See? He doesn't want to go." She puffed, raising her tail and standing up in the bed.
"You are manipulating him, Kuna." Longwei deeply frowned, aggravated.
"Give me this kitty's history, Longwei." She extended her hand, demanding the files. "I will have the kitten's permission, of course."
"Kuna." Longwei growled.
"Kitty, give your permission or the mean dragon will take you. I can defend you." She snicked, greatly enjoying how unsettled the proud dragon was.
"Si. I-I give permission." Eztli frowned, nervously flipping his tail back and forth.
Longwei stared at Kuna with a disapproving gaze before he held up his phone. A little ping on Kuna's phone popped up as she saw Eztli's entire file was sent directly to her. With a toothy grin she opened the file to began reading the files.
"Eztli Balam, please come with me. I will take you back to your quarters." Longwei spoke, getting closer as Kuna continued to read the file with a smug smirk of victory.
"N-No! I don't want to!" Eztli shouted, quickly leaping behind the bed and crawling underneath the cushions.
Longwei let out a very heavy sigh, deeply frowning at the jaguar's reaction.
"Is Nikita really going to train this kitten?" Kuna grinned, full of interest now after having read the file.
"Nikita has expressed agreement in helping to train the young balam, yes." Longwei answered, appearing very displeased with the progression of these events.
"Pfft … useless. This kitty needs specialized training. There's nothing he will gain from beatdowns in the snow." Kuna waved off, starting to consider something rather interesting.
"The proper training will be administered by Nikita Sviet." Longwei stated, narrowing his gaze. "So please allow me to return the young Eztli back to his quarters."
"No!" Eztli's voice shouted, muffled by Kuna's thick cushioned bed as the jaguar tried to more deeply embed himself beneath the cushion.
"Go back, Longwei. It's clear he wont go with you." Kuna ordered with a snarky grin.
"I won't forgive you if you further inhibit the young balam's state of mind. He needs help, Kuna." Longwei growled before he turned and left. Being this Kuna's territory, she had the full right to order him to leave.
The moment Longwei was gone, Kuna mischievously grinned. "You can come out kitty. He is gone."
"I-is the mean dragon really gone?" Eztli asked, wiggling around before popping his head out and shyly looking around the room. Once making sure he was gone, the jaguar crawled out and anxiously searched the room to make sure he was no longer present. Eztli's tail flipped around, uncomfortable as he laid down low on the cushions with wide eyes, listening to his environment intensely.
"Yes, he is gone. But I'm taking you to Nikita for a moment, then we come back. The mean dragon won't be there." She turned to him, holding her arms open to hug him. "Come, Eztli. I'll even carry you."
Eztli's eyes excitedly sparkled as he pounced into her arms, making her stagger a big before he curled up like a kitten in her arms so the short marten could better carry him. His loud purring reverberated through his chest, hugging her shoulders while rubbing his face on hers. "You're so nice! I like you. You protected me from the mean dragon!" Eztli grinned, more vigorously rubbing his head against hers in an affectionate manner while mumbling 'mine mine mine' under his purring breath.
"You are a very cuddly kitty." Kuna laughed, her plan already decided. She was not going to let this feline go; not when he had such interesting connections and such a strange abuse sequence somehow leading him to control his feral self.
The marten trotted up the large stairs without breaking a sweat, readjusting her hold on the balam as she carried him down the halls. She decided to not use the elevator so that everyone could see her blatant statement of ownership. She passed through the corridors with many Extraspecies passing the marten anxious glances upon seeing Eztli trapped in her claws. Kuna paid them no attention as she walked up to Nikita's large doors, kicking it hard with her rather small foot.
"Hey Nikita, let me in! I have my arms full!" Kuna aggressively yelled, emitting a fierce growl. She was the only Extraspecies who would dare speak to the alpha of alphas in such a way, and she d*** well deserved it.
She listened to the movement behind the door before Nikita opened it, looking down and seeing the jaguar's arms firmly locked around her shoulders, nuzzling her with cuddly aggressive vigor.
"Kuna." Nikita greeted, raising his eyebrow at the strange scene. Eztli was so large in her arms that the tiger could not see Kuna with exception for her short legs. "Balam."
"Just came to tell ya that I will be training Eztli." She graciously informed him, turning sideways so the tiger could see her wicked and challenging grin.
"Really." Nikita stated, his tail slightly curling. "You never express wanting train alpha before."
"Never found someone with alpha potential that interested me." She shrugged, readjusting her hold on the cuddly feline. "Although I might spare some lessons for Aleksey here and there." She daringly grinned.
"Da, that fine. You take Balam for spare lessons or train full?" Nikita asked with a frown.
"He is mine now!" Kuna laughed, tossing the kitty in the air a bit and catching him again, making Eztli laugh as he clung to her loving embrace.
"You read file on Balam?" Nikita asked with a frown. "Not much mental stable."
"It makes him perfect for what I have in mind." She chuckled, grabbing and pulling on Eztli's tail and making him softly laugh.
"You take responsibility if Balam snaps?" Nikita asked.
"Obviously." She rolled her eyes.
"I'll be a good kitty." Eztli grinned, flicking his tail back and forth.
"Then da, train as please." Nikita allowed, glancing over the jaguar and smelling not a shred of fear in him.
"I didn't come for permission, you old cat. I just came to inform you because I'm really polite, you know? And so you can tell that sexy royal fluff that I'm going to make this kitty into a very specialized kitty." The marten smirked before she turned around and walked away back to her hellish den, this time taking the elevators to be faster.
