The Ancient Curse

This Halloween was spent differently from the previous ones. The kids were all in their teenage years and weren't particularly interested in trick or treating anymore. Instead, Tails, Cream, Amy and Marine decided to stay in and watch movies and play games. That plan suited Vanilla and Sally just fine. They could spend the night in Vanilla's room while the kids did their own thing downstairs.

"You sure you don't want the big TV?" Cream asked as Sally and Vanilla were about to head to their room. "We could just take this into my room."

"No no, it's quite alright." Vanilla said. "Sally and I were just going to watch a comedy on the tablet in our room."

"Okay! Thanks, mom!" she gave Vanilla a quick hug before running off to make the popcorn. She and Sally then went to her room, closing the door behind them.

"So what do you wanna watch first?" Tails asked as he flipped through the library on the TV's hard drive.

"Well it's Halloween, right?" Amy asked, plopping down on the couch next to him with a bag of gummies in her hand. "Put on a horror movie."

"Dawn of the Dead? World War Z?"

"Fuck. That!" Marine exclaimed, stealing the remote right out of his hand in a swift motion. "Zombies are so overrated! Any good horror movie that doesn't involve zombies, ghosts, ghouls, ghasts, spectres, spooks, phantoms, poltergeists or Cthulhu."

"But you just... excluded all the good ones." Tails said.

"Horror movies are overrated, anyways! How about something with adventure where guys get sweet loots? AHA!" Marine stopped on one of the movies. "National Treasure! Now THAT'S a movie!"

"But that's not a horror movie."

"So? Better than any horror movie in my opinion!"

"Does anyone want a bowl of popcorn?" Cream asked from the doorway into the kitchen.

"Sure!" Tails replied.

"You know it!" Marine answered.

"Got my own snacks, thanks!" Amy said, holding up her bag of gummies.

"So it's settled, then! We watch National Treasure!"

"No we're... ah screw it!" Tails said, tossing his hands up in the air. He would have liked to watch a good horror movie and cuddle up with Cream. Despite being more assertive and confident in her teen years, Cream was still a dainty girl at heart, and she was still squeamish. The idea of her freaking out at a jump scare and clutching to him for comfort... well, it really was just an idea now. National Treasure had no jump scare scenes.

It took a second or two for the group to realize that they were suddenly in the pitch black. Almost as soon as Marine hit play, the power all around the house went out, plunging the group into darkness.

"Oh come on!" Marine whined. "This isn't fair!"

"Oh... crap! I can barely see my hand in front of my face!" Amy exclaimed.

"A power outage on Halloween? What are the chances?" Tails said to himself. "Hold on, I'll try and get to the kitchen and find a flashlight." He fumbled around in the darkness, trying to avoid knocking into anything. Unfortunately he didn't even move two steps before colliding face first into something, knocking himself to the ground. Something heavy yet soft landed on his face, and he was bombarded with the pleasant scent of lavender.

"Well that happened." Cream said, entering the room holding a lit flashlight. "Right as I was about to put the popcorn into the microwave, the power went out." she pointed the flashlight down at the group, expecting to find them on the couch, but instead found them on the floor in a heap of limbs. "Uuhhhhhh what's going on here?"

Tails crawled out from under Amy, whose breasts his face was buried in. Amy was eighteen now, and she had a fantastic rack. It nearly rivalled Rouge's now. Most of the blood in Tails' body rushed to his face, and his heart was pounding in his chest. Oddly enough, he was thankful for that. It meant he was less likely to sport a two foot long boner in front of her, even though he could feel his crotch trembling with that familiar feeling just before an erection.

"Nothing, just lost my footing in the dark." Tails explained.

"I think the reactor is down." Marine said, looking outside the window. "The entire neighborhood is dark."

"Don't worry, everyone." Tails assured the girls. "Mobotropolis has a backup generator just in case the reactor ever goes offline. It should kick in any second now."

There was a moment of silence between them all.

"A~ny second now."

A few more awkward seconds passed.

"Okay, something is wrong. I'm gonna have to go check the reactor and see what's up."

"Do you have to?" Cream asked.

"Well, we were going to watch a movie, right? Besides, the blackout will ruin everyone else's Halloween. Don't worry, it shouldn't take more than half an hour."

"I'll come with you." Cream said.

"Well, if you're going with him, can we have the flashlight?"

"There are more in the kitchen, you know. In the island, far right drawer."

After Amy and Marine each grabbed a flashlight, Tails and Cream left for the reactor.

"Well... damn. What should we do while we wait?" Marine asked.

"We should check up on Sally and Vanilla." Amy suggested. "We haven't seen them since they went upstairs earlier."

"Maybe they had the lights off?"

"Possibly, but I'd like to at least bring them a flashlight." Amy grabbed the last flashlight from the kitchen and headed upstairs to Vanilla's room, which was located at the far end of the corridor. She raised her hand to knock on the door when she heard some noises coming from the other side. She put her ear to the door, and what she heard made the blood rush to their face. No way was she going to interrupt that. She'd risk getting involved herself, and Sally and Vanilla's activities together were... honestly horrifying.

"Did they notice the blackout?" Marine asked. She was lounging on the couch downstairs, waiting for Amy's return.

"They're asleep." Amy replied flatly.

"So soon? They said they were going to watch a mo-"

"They're ASLEEP." Amy repeated, this time placing heavier emphasis on the word.

"Oohh... Okay, that didn't take long, did it?"

"It's Sally and Vanilla. What did you expect?"

"I know, I know. So what should we do while we wait for them to return?"

"Let's see if they have any board games. OOO! Do you think they have Mouse Trap?"

"I highly doubt it." The two girls went back upstairs to Cream's room to look for board games. They were halfway up the stairs when they heard a loud crashing sound outside.

"What the hell was that?" Amy asked.

"It sounded like a car crash." Marine responded.

"Come on, let's go check it out!" The two hurried back down the stairs, flashlights at the ready, and headed out the front door. The vast city of Mobotropolis that towered above them was hidden behind a thick shroud of darkness. The cloud cover over the city was so thick, not even moonlight could penetrate it, even though there was supposed to be a full moon tonight.

Sure enough, the blackout had affected the rest of the city as well. There were a few flashes of light from the windows of other houses from what they could safely assume to be flashlights or flashlight substitutes. A brief scan of their surroundings showed there to be a few pedestrian families out on the street with children in tow. A few parents scrambled through their belongings looking for lights of their own, and several shadows were heading off into a specific direction that Amy could easily vector.

"I think the crash came from there!" Amy said to Marine, pointing off to their destination to the right of Cream's house. "Come on!" They hurried through the blackness, flashlights aimed forward. A small crowd of people some tens of yards ahead of them were converged around a black, tar-like puddle on the ground. It gurgled audibly, enormous bubbles forming and popping along the surface. Large debris the size of furniture and shrapnel littered the area around it.

"What the hell is that?" Amy asked, stepping closer to get a better look at it. It was a little funny seeing several Batmans also investigating this mystery.

"I think it came from up there, somewhere." one of the bystander Mobians said, pointing up at the dark abyss above them. "Luckily no one got hit by the debris."

"What is that in the center?" Marine asked. She inched closer, trying to stay clear of the possibly boiling tar, and shone her flashlight at the center of the mass. There was a large, amorphous blob there, where the tar seemed to originate. It writhed around and gave off a strange wail that was even more disturbing than the gurgling. As they observed it, trying to make sense of the shape, it slowly rose up and thinned out. Marine's eyes widened.

"Oh god, there's someone inside that!" she exclaimed. The "head", if there really was someone inside it, turned to them, eyes glowing bright yellow. The tar around the creature's feet assimilated into its body, giving it a more defined form. It was still difficult to tell what it was supposed to be, as it had extra appendages that were possibly wings, but Amy could tell that it was likely a female because of it enlarged bosom and hourglass figure. At the same time, it also had a thick erection the girth of her forearm and nearly as long.

It locked eyes on Amy and lunged at her. It reached out with its arms, and even though Amy backed away, it shot out a column of tar that made contact with her body. Marine saw Amy tumble into the darkness, flashlight knocked out of her hand from the impact. A large volume of tar from the creature broke off to attack Amy, but it didn't seem to take away from its overall mass. The crowd panicked and made a run for it, and the creature began firing more globs of tar at them. Marine just barely managed to dodge one, but the people around her were not so fortunate. They were sent to the ground from the impact, and the tar spread out across the ground. Marine didn't dare look back to see if it was chasing her, but the artillery fire around her implied it had her identified as the target. She looked down at the flashlight in her hand. It was the only way she could see in this darkness, but it was also giving away her position!

Marine clicked off the flashlight and ducked behind what she felt were bushes next to a house. She gingerly shifted the leaves aside to view the street. It was difficult to see, but she could identify where the creature was by its glowing yellow eyes. It strolled forward slowly, looking back and forth across the street, presumably looking for its next victim, namely Marine. Her heart turned to ice when she saw it look in her direction, but as it moved on, she guessed that it couldn't see her.

Marine waited there in the darkness for a few more minutes just to be sure that the creature moved on for good before she came out of hiding. As she waited, she heard the gurgling of the tar again, followed by the same sort of distorted wailing from before. More pairs of eyes began to appear in the darkness, and Marine realized in horror that the creature was assimilating the Mobians to create more of itself!

* * *

This was Cream's first time in the reactor. Maybe it was because of the enormous space and lack of lighting that made it very foreboding, or the fact that Cream was a little afraid of the dark, even in her teen years, but she wanted the power to come back on as soon as possible so they could return home and cuddle up on the couch like she originally planned to do.

"I must say, with the power out, it's a little creepy here." Tails said as they walked forward. Their footsteps echoed loudly off the walls and ceiling high above them. Cream was curious about how far exactly the walls and ceiling were. She shone her light around them as they descended a long spiral staircase. Not counting the wall to their immediate left, the beam of light hit nothing. It might as well have been a football stadium, how large the reactor was. Even though Tails empathized his uneasiness with her, it only served to further her anxiety.

"The mainframe is down here." Tails explained. "I'll have to run a quick diagnostic and figure out what caused both the reactor and backup generators to crap out. Should only take a few minutes." When they got to the main computer, however, they found that it was covered in a thick layer of black tar.

"What the hell?!" Tails muttered as he saw the carnage. The tar was all bubbling and oozing down the walls. It completely obscured the control panel underneath, along with most of the monitors.

"That's... what happened?" Cream asked. "Was there some containment leak? Is this waste from the reactor?"

"I designed this reactor, and I know more about it than anyone else. The waste this place creates looks nothing like this."

"This reactor creates waste?"

"All reactors create waste. You can't avoid it. It's just a matter of how much. That said, this isn't waste. At least not from this plant."

"Then who did this?" Cream asked. She took a step forward and heard a loud squelching sound. She looked down and found that she had stepped in a bit of the tar. "Aoooohhh! I stepped in it in my good shoes!" she took a step back and scraped her foot across the ground, trying to wipe the gunk off.

"Whoever it was, it's clearly an attempt at sabotage." Tails said. "Thankfully they're not that good at it. It looks like they just shut down the reactor, disconnected the backup generators and threw gunk all over the controls. We can clean up the tar and get this set back up in an hour at most." Tails sighed exasperatedly.

"What do you mean they're not good at it?" Cream asked as she continued to try and scrape off the tar. It was like the worst wad of gum in the universe.

"If they wanted to really mess us up, they would have bypassed the safety protocols, block the ventilation ducts and cut off the water flow to overheat the reactor core and cause a meltdown. Either they didn't know how, or they're just looking to inconvenience us. Come on, we need to get some of the other staff and some... thing to clean up the tar."

"Aauugh! It's crawling up my leg!" Cream screamed. Tails whipped around, pointing his flashlight at her. the tar that was on her shoe had expanded and made its way past her ankle. It inched up her leg at a visible rate. Cream frantically tried to tear it off, but the tar only stuck to her hands as well.

"No! Don't touch me!" she said, holding her hand out to stop him, but she quickly drew it back when she remembered it was now infected as well. "You'll only get it on you as well!"

"What should I do?!" Tails asked.

"I... don't know! AUHH!" Cream was suddenly pulled into a mass of the tar by tendrils that extended out and looped themselves around her body.

"TAI-" she was about to scream before her voice was muffled by the sludge. Tails could do nothing but watch in horror and listen to her continue to scream underneath. The tar molded to her shape and shrunk down. Her screaming changed suddenly, becoming shaky and primal. Tails realized with wonder and curiosity that somewhere in there, she was having an orgasm. What was going on?!

The tar withdrew from her body by a little bit, reshaping itself to form a skin tight leotard. She sprouted a large thick tail behind her, almost as long as a rat's. Her fur and skin were noticeably darker, closer to Marine's fur color. Her eyes were rolled in the back of her head, her mouth hanging open. It reminded him a lot of the ahegao face she gave whenever she hit the roof on a good night of sex. Her sclera were darkened, and her eyes emitted a strange yellow glow.

"Cream? Are you alright?" Tails asked. Cream blinked and focused her eyes, then looked down at him, smiling creepily and suggestively at him.

"Yes, I'm fine." she said, though Tails knew there was something wrong. She didn't just look different, she sounded different. "Better than ever, in fact."

"No, you're not. What are you?"

"I am your lover, granted perfection." Cream, or whatever it was that inhabited her, whatever this tar was that was masquerading as her, slowly strolled up to him. Tails backed away to avoid her corrupting touch.

"Release her right now!"

"Or what? You can't do anything to hurt me. Not only am I impervious to whatever meager flailing you throw at me, but I also know that you would do nothing to hurt the one you love most in the world."

"Dammi~t..." Tails growled. He continued to back away from her. Could he outrun this abomination?

"You could join her, you know. She is in a most blissful state that cannot be described. Become one with me, and you could join her in endless euphoria!"

"No... no! That's a lie! I won't join you!"

"That wasn't an invitation!" With a small gesture, several thick black tentacles formed out of nowhere and latched onto Tails' arms, pulling them back behind his body. Several more tentacles inched their way up his sleeves and pant legs. He could feel them getting dangerously close to his crotch; closer than he would have liked. The tentacles then pulled against his clothes, and with great strength, the clothes were torn clean off his body. Tails immediately felt the stale cool air against his skin. His peen and balls twitched from the sudden drop in temperature.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Tails exclaimed.

"Just getting you ready." Cream said. A thin tentacle moved between Tails' legs from behind and pressed up against his cock and balls. If he wasn't being held in place, he would have jumped a foot from the shock. The tentacle was warm and slimy and it felt strange against his balls, but kind of good. As it coiled around his cock and constricted it lightly, Tails realized that it felt very similar to a tongue! That idea caused him to sport a boner more like an iron rod than a penis.

Cream laid back on a chair-like object that was formed from the tar around her. She spread her legs apart and a wide hole appeared in the crotch of her leotard. Instead of seeing her pink insides underneath, he saw her vaginal muscles were black like the tar. He could only imagine the goo had invaded her insides as well.

"Now come here and become one with me!" she exclaimed. Tails did not plan on complying, but the tentacles dragged him over until he was bent over Cream's body, his cock sandwiched between their stomachs. Just like the tentacles, the leotard was also very warm and slimy. Tails thrashed around trying to escape the creature's grasp, but he only succeeded in arousing himself further. There was something about the way the slime felt against his skin that made it even more difficult for him to resist.

"Why do you continue to resist?" she asked. "Wouldn't you prefer to be in here with your girlfriend?" Cream closed her eyes. "I can hear her thoughts. She wants you to join her."

"What do you get out of all this?" Tails asked.

"Do not worry about such minor things." she said.

'She's... right. I shouldn't worry about such minor things.' Tails thought to himself, then violently shook his head. 'No! I have to get out of here! I have to find a way to rescue Cream!" he was trying to keep a cool head, but he could feel the pangs of lust in his loins growing stronger every second.

'Well... maybe it wouldn't hurt if it was just for... a little bit.' he thought. 'I just need to not give in...'

Of his own accord, Tails moved back and prodded Cream's corrupted entrance with his dick. Because his hands were still held on either side of Cream's body by the tentacles, he couldn't manually guide himself in. After the second or third thrust, however, he found purchase inside Cream, and he let himself sink all the way to the hilt. It wasn't until he was inside her did he realize that the warm wet feeling that he was experiencing from the tentacles and the tar in general was the exact same feeling as Cream's non-corrupted vaginal muscles. In fact, it felt even better. Her vaginal muscles and the tar constricted lovingly around his cock. The tentacle continued to massage his balls as he rocked his hips into her.

"Uaaahh!" he moaned as his hips pounded into her. He was practically on autopilot, fucking Cream wildly like a teen on the night of losing his virginity. He was enjoying it a lot more than he probably should be, but she was massaging his cock in ways he didn't think were possible. The way she contracted her muscles around him made a sensation like she trying to milk his cock like an udder!

"Nnnnhhh! Why does this have to feel so good?" Tails cried out in arousal and frustration.

"Your body understands the benefits I am offering." She cooed. "Be wise and accept what your heart already knows."

Tails didn't have time to respond before another tentacle sprouted up behind him and began probing his asshole. He thrust his hips forward into Cream involuntarily from the sudden shock of something warm and slimy flicking at his tight pucker. It wasted no time applying pressure against his entrance and shoving past his muscle, digging deep into his body.

"HAAAHHH!" he screamed. His legs trembled and his hips gyrated in a strange pattern as he felt the tentacle slithering its way up his intestines. For some reason, it felt very good to him, even though it was the first time he ever took something in the ass. There was one very specific point in the core of his rectum that burned like the tip of his peen as he neared his orgasm. His thoughts were getting cloudier by the minute. Soon he could think of nothing else but the pure bliss he felt from the waist down.

Tails let out a string of incomprehensible babble as he came. He slammed his hips into Cream and filled her up with his sperm. His asshole clenched the tentacle with every shot of cum he added to the pool in her pussy. Cream's eyes rolled in the back of her head and she wrapped her legs around Tails' back so he couldn't pull away.

The tentacle in his ass suddenly started throbbing violently, bulging out his asshole by an extra inch or two. He then felt something filling his intestines up even more, distending his stomach. Right as that happened, Tails' orgasm spread throughout his entire body. He still felt like he was shooting cum into Cream's pussy, even though he was sure to have run dry long ago.

Tails was paralyzed by the pleasure, but he could feel something crawling up his body. He felt it covering his hands, and it was warm and slimy. He knew it was the tar, but he was in no state to actually register what was happening to him, much less panic over it. All he could think about was the never ending orgasm surging through his body, and how close he felt to Cream as the sludge invaded his body. It enveloped him completely, obscuring his vision in a veil of darkness. It was there he felt something invade his mind. The presence took command of his body; Tails could tell this based on how parts of his body not only went numb, but the way his sense of feeling became abstract. Were his fingers a few inches long or larger than his body? It didn't matter. All he cared about was being in eternal bliss with Cream.

* * *

Marine continued to hide behind the bushes. Her feet were sore and her skin itched from the constant rubbings from the shrubbery, but she was safe for the moment. The creatures moved from house to house, breaking down doors and windows and assaulting the residents within. She could hear screams, some of which were more disturbing - and sensual - than others. Her eyes were slowly adjusting to the darkness. Her field of vision gradually expanded. She could make out the shapes of objects and the environment around her, including the shrubbery directly in front of her. It wasn't much, but enough so that she might be able to escape.

After making sure the coast was clear, Marine crawled out of the bushes and checked her surroundings. The creatures must have moved on once the streets were thoroughly swept. Aside from a few splatters of tar on the ground, there was no one around. As she walked down the street, keeping her eyes and ears out for any of the creatures, Marine wondered about where she should go from here. She didn't know where those creatures came from, how many there were, or how to combat them. Even if she did, she was in no way a fighter like Sonic or Knuckles or any of the other former Freedom Fighters. She needed to get out of Mobotropolis. Then she could figure out what to do next.

Her mad dash to the outskirts of Mobotropolis, however, was quickly cut short. One of the creatures descended from the darkness above and landed directly in front of her. Marine stopped in her tracks, frozen with fear. It stood up straight and stared at her with those soul-piercing yellow eyes, and then it flashed her a wide grin lined with sharp teeth. It charged at her, but Marine dove to the side, narrowly avoiding it. It helped that she had a small frame, and she was the star gymnast at school, so she had an edge up over the rest of the Mobians who were assimilated. That and blind luck.

The area suddenly lit up from an explosion behind Marine. She turned around for a brief moment to see a flash of fire in the distance, but she didn't have much time to think about it as the creature made another lunge for her. Marine continued to run away. She could feel the wind from the creature trying to grab her, but missing only by inches. Why wasn't it trying to throw globs at her like the other one did to Amy and the other bystanders? It must have been unable to, or maybe it had something else in mind for her...

Marine continued to run away from the creature. She was actually managing to outpace it, but just barely. There was another explosion that lit up the streets. Either this one was bigger or it was closer. She really hoped it was unrelated to the creatures or, in the best case scenario, someone was fighting back. She really didn't want to have to outrun the creatures and dodge explosions at the same time.

'How much stamina does this thing have?!' Marine thought to herself. She couldn't keep this up for much longer. Hopefully the thing would give up the chase soon.

Unfortunately for Marine, that respite never came. The creature eventually caught her, after a long, grueling run that Marine only continued out of sheer desperation. The outskirts of Mobotropolis was still miles away. Marine was breathing heavily and her heart felt like it was going to leap out of her chest. Her legs felt like they were made of lead, but she continued to trudge on, even if she had now slowed down to a shamble. She looked behind her. The creature was still pursuing, but it also slowed down to a casual walk. It didn't even seem to be fatigued by the chase. Marine slumped over and started crying. Not only could she not get away, but the creature was simply toying with her! It could have killed her or assimilated her or whatever it was that the creatures did to the other Mobians, including Amy and possibly Vanilla and Sally. Why was it tormenting her like this!?

Marine felt a hand on her shoulder and she knew this was it. The creature pushed her over onto her back. It then latched onto her clothes and with a quick violent jerk tore them off her body. Marine screamed and moved to cover herself up. The autumn air wasn't too much of an issue when she was clothed, but without them, the cold started to really bite at her.

"Why are you doing this to me?!" she cried out through tears. The creature did not respond, and only flashed a malicious grin at her. It knelt down next to her. Marine was too exhausted to try and crawl away from it. A pool of tar appeared at its feet and oozed under Marine's body. She twitched when she realized just how warm it was. With the slimy way it felt, it almost reminded her of a hot mud bath. While a mud bath was a relaxing thing, she didn't want to associate it with whatever abomination this thing was... or did she? When it made contact with her skin, Marine felt a strange, relaxing sensation wash over her mind. Her trauma, however, helped her retain her clarity even through the mental fog the creature somehow threw over her.

"No! Stay away!" she screamed, kicking at the creature. It responded by summoning a mass of tentacles from the pool of sludge underneath Marine, which coiled around her limbs and pinned her to the floor, her arms and legs held out away from her body. Even if she weren't exhausted, she had no leverage to pull against them, and was unable to fight back.

The creature reached down between Marine's legs and massaged her labia. The fingers dug into her pussy, stroking and tapping her G-spot. Marine squeaked and twitched violently, trying to move her hips around in a futile effort to back away from the creature. She was growing a large, painful girl boner; her clit poked out from underneath its hood and pointed straight up. She was getting aroused, and her body was begging for release.

"N-no! Nooooo!" she cried. "Stop touching me down there!" Her pleas were ignored, however. While the creature did withdraw its hand, Marine could see in its other hand an enormous erection. It was a cock to be envious of, to be sure, but she had no interest in this thing, especially when her life was at stake!

The creature moved in between her legs and hoisted her lower half onto her lap. Marine could feel the cock pressing against her pussy lips, forcing them apart and reshaping itself to fit inside her. Fit, in this case, was being played very loosely. It contracted enough to not hurt Marine, but it was in no way a comfortable fit.

"AaahhaaaaAAAAHH-HHMPHH!" Marine's scream got louder as the cock forced its way into her. Right at the tail end of her scream, another tentacle coiled around her face and gagged her mouth. The cock seemed to have a mind of its own as it shifted around, molding to the shape of her insides. Marine felt a pressure in the pit of her stomach, and she knew the dick had nestled itself against the entrance to her womb. The creature leaned over the distraught Marine, its face twisted with malice yet unhinged slightly by its own arousal. At this close distance, Marine could see that it looked very familiar. Its hair was divided into large quills in a short bob style.

'Amy?!' she exclaimed in her mind. Before she had much time to think on it, however, the creature began fucking her with powerful thrusts. Her entire love canal burned with a combination of pleasure and pain. The cock was lined with ridges that brushed against every possible erogenous zone inside her, but the sheer size of it also meant it was stretching her out to her limit. Marine felt like either she was going to have the orgasm of her life, or she was simply going to be split in two by the creature, if not both. It didn't help that, like the rest of its body, tentacles and tar included, its cock was very slick, which made its thrusting so much more smooth and fluid than it should have been.

The creature picked up the pace, slamming its hips into her repeatedly. It let out a loud, unbridled, distorted moan like a wildebeest in heat. Marine was also moaning, as much as she could through the tentacle gagging her mouth, anyways. Her crotch burned like a torch, and she could feel her orgasm building up. Her clit was throbbing painfully, and she felt like if it was touched even slightly, she'd pass out from how powerful her orgasm would be.

The creature let out a loud cry of joy and slammed its hips into Marine one last time before it came. Marine braced herself when she felt the cock throbbing so violently, it would burst out of her at any moment. The flood of sperm that splashed into her sent her over the edge almost immediately. She squirted her sweet musky juices all over the creature's abdomen. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she screamed through the gag. Her orgasm was stronger than any kind she had before. It was so exquisite, she completely forgot about the threat she was facing, along with everything else, for that matter. The sperm was hot in her cervix, and she could feel a strange, but nice sensation as it leaked through into her womb. The volume was enough to fill her womb up to capacity and beyond, distending her stomach slightly to accommodate it all.

Marine lay there on the ground, almost unconscious as she came down from her high. Her womb felt nice and full from the jizz, and she was practically glowing with warmth. The creature pulled out of her and stood up, looking as pleased with itself as it could with that terrifying slasher smile.

Seconds later, a large fireball struck the creature dead in the back, sending it flying over Marine's head and off into the darkness somewhere. Marine looked up to see someone land several meters in front of her. With her recent orgasm, what little light there was popped out more brilliantly than normal. Marine could make out the rough outline of her savior.

"B-blaze?" she mumbled. Blaze stepped forward where, even in the darkness, her features became more defined. She was wearing a green halter top leotard and red beret with combat boots. Underneath the beret, she sported a blonde wig with a braided ponytail that extended past the small of her back. Earlier that day, she told Marine that she was heading off to a costume party. She invited Marine to come along, too, but she wanted to go to hang out with Amy, Cream and Tails for Halloween instead.

"Are you okay?" Blaze asked, extending a hand out. Marine went to grab it, but then she saw a flicker of movement past Blaze's shoulder.

"Behind you!" she exclaimed, but Blaze seemed to sense it before she did. She whirled around, ponytail swinging in a wide arc. She flung her arms out wide, creating arcs of flame that lit up the street around them. Several more of the black tar creatures lunged at them from the darkness, but they were engulfed by the flames and thrown back.

"Come on, this place is too dangerous now." she said, pulling Marine to her feet. "We need to go."

"W-what are these things?" Marine asked. She covered herself with her arms, but mostly because it was cold out. They lived together, so Blaze saw her naked plenty of times before.

"Curse of an ancient demon." Blaze replied without pause. "And the byproduct of one woman's ignorance."

"What do you mean?"

"You watch Indiana Jones? Curses exist, Marine, and Rouge, of all people, ignored one specific one I warned her about." Blaze kicked in a door leading into a house. She gave a quick look around before gesturing Marine to follow her inside. Because she was a cat, augmented by her magical powers, Marine knew she could see perfectly in the dark. They headed upstairs into the bedroom. Again Blaze scouted the room before taking Marine inside. "Find something that fits.

"The curse is the result of a deal made with demons, millennia ago by an empire that lost itself because of it. They sought power over the neighboring borders and made a ritual pact of lust and ambition to demons." Marine threw on a pair of panties that thankfully fit her. She didn't want to have to go commando. She did, however, resort to wearing a miniskirt. Whoever owned these clothes had some pretty long legs; the pants didn't fit her.

"One thousand virgins of each gender, used as broodmares and sex slaves by their so-called benefactors. In exchange, they received an artifact that would assimilate their enemies with a special type of symbiont. It wouldn't just destroy opposing kingdoms; it would indoctrinate and subjugate them, making them loyal to the empire."

Marine put on an olive green tank top. Even though she didn't need to, she also threw on a pair of stockings with her shoes. It would help keep her legs warm in this cold night.

"What they didn't know, however, was that this symbiont would assimilate everyone, across all borders, indiscriminately. Eventually they sealed it away, back in the artifact, but by then, there wasn't much of an empire left."

"How do you know all this?" Marine asked as she finished.

"I'm a historian. It's my job to know these things." Blaze replied. "Now come, we must leave as soon as possible."

"What's going to happen to everyone here?" Marine asked. "You... you killed some of them!"

"I didn't kill them. I'm controlling the flame just enough to melt through the symbiont without harming the host inside. Despite their strengths, they're mortal as anything else in the world. Our objective is to find the artifact these things spawned from. With it, I can force them back in. Everyone will be safe, and we won't have another Mukari incident."

"Mukari?"

"The name of the empire, and now the name of the symbiont."

* * *

Blaze and Marine headed out across Mobotropolis. They encountered numerous Mukari symbionts on the way, but Blaze was able to fell each and every single one of them without issue. As they were blasted by her flames, Marine watched as the tar incinerated almost immediately from where the flames struck, and the creatures' form split open and returned to an inert, goo-like state. The people underneath were naked and either unconscious or staring off into space. Their faces were contorted in an ahegao expression. Marine couldn't blame them. If getting raped by one was that mind shatteringly pleasant to her, she could only imagine what it would be like to be assimilated by one.

They found their way to Rouge's estate. Treasure hunting really paid for itself, by the looks of it. It was no match for Sally's castle, but it was a damn good second to it. They snuck over the gate and across the well-kept garden, keeping eyes and ears out for the Mukari. There didn't appear to be any around, but it was difficult for Marine to tell without real night vision.

"If I'm correct, the artifact will still be here." Blaze explained as she put a hand to the front door's lock, melting through it by superfocusing her flames.. "Likely Rouge was fiddling with it and accidentally unleashed the Mukari."

"What should I be looking for?" Marine asked as they entered the house.

"It'll be a diamond shape with an opening at the top. Made of stone, covered in runes, and segmented. Think of it almost like a ye olde Rubik's Cube."

They moved from one room to another, first heading down to the vault where Rouge kept her prized findings before she could find a buyer. Vault was a rather loose definition, as it implied a giant impenetrable steel door. What they found was not so sophisticated, and equaled to little more than a series of display cases behind a not so giant, not so impenetrable plexiglass room. Either way, it wasn't there, so they headed up to the next most logical location; her bedroom.

Whoever was there previously had certainly turned over the place. The entire mattress of the king-sized bed in Rouge's room was tossed off the bed frame, the sheets on the other end of the room. Her dresser was tipped over and clothes spilled out everywhere. Compared to the pristine look of everything else throughout the estate, there was no doubt something of value or importance was once here, and if fortune would shine in their favor, it will still be here. Marine didn't want to touch that pigsty yet, so she opted to look in the closet first, which aside from being unscathed, held other surprises.

"Woah..." Marine whispered to herself. She entered Rouge's walk-in closet to see the rack of lingerie, bondage gear and other sexy apparel. On a shelf was an assortment of sex toys shaped like various animal cocks, including some that may not have a realistic counterpart. "And I thought Vanilla's collection was insane."

"Find anything in there?" Blaze called out.

"Nope, I found nothing." Marine said, leaving the closet. She took another look back at the collection. There were a few nice pieces in there. With such a huge collection, Rouge probably wouldn't notice if one or two went missing, would she?

"Come grab the other end of the mattress and hoist it back on the bed." Blaze said. They shifted mattress back to its original position. Where it once lay, there was another mess of sheets and torn pillows, but nothing that looked like an artifact or Rubik's Cube.

"I don't even think it's here anymore." Marine said as they worked to upright and sort through the bedroom. "What if they took it with them? The Mukari, I mean."

"The Mukari can't touch the artifact directly." Blaze explained. "It's... effectively a prison to them. Touching it will cause that part of the Mukari to be sealed inside of it."

"You can't tell me we're supposed to go across all of Mobotropolis and force every piece of the Mukari to touch the thing, can you?"

"We don't need to. Like I said, think of it like a ye olde Rubik's Cube. You have to twist the different segments in a certain pattern. The top will unlock and pop open, revealing the interior. Exposing that interior to direct sunlight will cause the entirety of the Mukari to be sucked in at once, regardless of how far away they are."

"And that'll be the end of it?"

"Yeah."

Marine continued to search through the stuff littering the ground. All the clothes and sheets they looked through were tossed into a pile on the bed. The mess in the room got gradually smaller and smaller until there was nothing left. And still no artifact.

"Oh come on!" Marine exclaimed. "It's not here!"

"I don't get it." Blaze said, looking around the room. "It's here, out of anywhere else in the house it would have been."

"Do you think someone else came and stole it?"

"No. There were no broken locks, no smashed glass when we got here." Blaze said, pacing back and forth. "The entire house is pristine except for right here. The symbiont couldn't have made off with it, and no one would have entered the house without breaking in, and they would have turned over other rooms before finding the artifact."

Marine was starting to feel the effects of exhaustion and sleep deprivation wear on her. Getting fucked by the Mukari, staying up long after her bedtime, running herself to exhaustion and travelling halfway across the city; she was practically running on adrenaline and survival instincts up to now. She hopped on the bed and laid back, looking to rest her head a bit while Blaze fretted over finding the artifact. When she landed, however, she felt something very hard prod against her butt and back.

"OW!" she exclaimed, and rolled over to the side, clutching her backside.

"What's wrong?" Blaze asked.

"Nothing, I just landed on... something... hard, wait a minute." Marine frantically sifted through the sheets and clothes on the bed, and extracted the artifacts from their folds. "I found it!"

"Well I'll... how the hell did we miss that?" The artifact was quite a bit larger than a Rubik's Cube, nearly a foot in diameter at its widest point. Other than that, it perfectly matched Blaze's description of it. The top, however, was closed.

"I dunno, but who cares!? We found it!"

"Good, now I'll ask you to put it down." a voice said behind them. Blaze and Marine turned around to see a Mukari approaching them from the doorway. Like the others, she had the profile of the host, who they safely assumed to be Rouge, with the addition of horns, a tail, larger wings, and like the one that raped Marine, an enormous third leg of a cock. Blaze lit a flame in her hand, ready to ignite the Mukari, but before she could react, a tentacle descended from the ceiling and latched onto her wrists, hoisting her up and suspending her in the air.

"There will be none of that, now." she said casually. "Why do you fight against us? Do you realize the only way to peace is through unity?"

"Like you did with the Mukari?" Blaze replied. "I know all about what you did the last time. Need I remind you of the genocide?"

"We only killed people who threatened our existence. Besides, they squabbled over such petty concepts like territories and religion. I offer something far greater. I offer a utopia."

"Where we're controlled by the likes of you and exist without free will? No thanks. Besides, you're far behind the times. We already live in a utopia. Post scarcity, no wars, no territories to fight over. The whole package."

"Is that so?" Rouge grinned widely, revealing rows of sharp teeth. "Then we all work to the same goal."

"No we don't!" Blaze shouted, straining against the tentacles.

"Yes we do, and my minions have already planted the first seed of a true unity. Come." She gestured to Marine with a wide sweep of her forearm. The pit of Marine's stomach tingled. Something was oscillating inside of her, filling her with bliss. She also had an instinct to put down the artifact and go to Rouge. The instinct told her it would make her feel better.

"Marine, what are you doing?!" Blaze watched helplessly as Marine slowly walked over to Rouge. As she got closer, the oscillations drove her to a quick orgasm, powerful, but controlled enough that she could function normally. Marine turned around to face Blaze. Her eyelids were fluttering and her eyes were rolled in the back of her head. "No... no! Marine!"

"It feels good, doesn't it?" Rouge asked, leaning down behind Marine and massaging her stomach. "Wouldn't it feel nicer to join us in true unity?"

"What is she talking about?" Blaze asked. "Marine, what's going on?"

"She didn't tell you? She received the seed of one of my minions. Shame. One minute sooner and you could have saved her."

"No! Dammit! Marine!" Blaze pulled against the tentacle, which still held her in place. She realized, though, that while it was holding her by the wrist. She could still move her hand.

"She's already losing herself to the bliss. There's nothing you can do now." Marine twitched like she was getting tazered as another orgasm rocked her body. Rouge's touch seemed to be setting it off. Her legs felt weak, and she tried to move away. Her effort to move away, however, caused her to fall face first on the ground.

And there was her door.

Blaze opened her palms and pointed them at Rouge. She fired two thin columns of flame at Rouge, striking her in the chest and knocking her back. She then aimed up at the glob of Mukari on the ceiling and incinerated it with another blast, and the symbiont dropped her to the ground. She quickly ran over and grabbed the artifact, then with it secured, checked Marine.

"Marine! Are you okay!?" she asked, rolling her over. The young raccoon was staring off into space. Her pupils were dilated, and her breathing was shaky.

"Dammit, Marine, why didn't you tell me what happened?" Blaze demanded.

"I... I couldn't bring myself to tell you." Marine answered. "I was so... humiliated."

"Well don't worry. The first light of dawn will be in an hour or two, and then you'll be fine."

"Not... so... fast!" Rouge's distorted voice said behind them. Blaze turned around to see Rouge's nude figure. The symbiont possessing her melted everywhere else save for around her upper chest and head, and even that was dripping all over the ground.

"You... will not... defeat me!" she said. "Dawn is too far away to be of use to you! I will make you my broodmares for the true unity long before the sun rises!" The rest of the symbiont then sloughed off of her body, and Rouge collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Blaze, run!" Marine exclaimed. "Don't worry about me, just get the artifact to a safe place!" Her stomach was swelling up at a rapid pace, and Marine let out a cry as if she was in labor. Blaze grabbed the artifact and made a run for it. She was very reluctant to leave Marine like that, but she only needed to last long enough for dawn to arrive, and then everything would be back to normal.

Marine could feel the symbiont in her womb thrashing about, oscillating more violently than ever and driving her insane with the amount of pleasure it brought. She felt it come gushing out of her pussy, suddenly, tearing clean through the panties. The tar then looped back around and enveloped around her body. The entire time, Marine was sent to the same height of pleasure as when the Mukari fucked her, only this time, she never came down from it. The symbiont took control of her body, and even though she was overwhelmed by the pleasure, she moved with greater agility than ever before, all with one mission:

Stop Blaze at all cost!

* * *

Blaze was halfway across the garden to the front gate. Right as she began running, she worked at trying to work the artifact to pop the top open. She needed to align the runes in a certain method, not unlike a Rubik's Cube.

The sound of wood splintering behind her from a massive impact caused Blaze to look back. Storming out of the front door, tearing through it like it was plywood was the Mukari that Marine transformed into. Much like how Rouge looked more advanced than the standard rank and file she encountered all night. The horns on her head were larger, the wingspan as she took flight longer than her arms outstretched several times over, and instead of one tail, she sported several black tentacles that trailed behind her.

"You will not escape!" she shouted. Arms raised above her head, she summoned an array of tentacles that slammed the ground as she threw her arms down. They struck with such force that the paved road was demolished, creating a shockwave that upset the ground in a straight line towards Blaze. She jumped high into the air, hopping on the larger chunks of asphalt over the wave. As she cleared the peak of it, she prepared another fireball and launched it at the Mukari. Before it could make contact, however, Marine raised her arms again, and out of the cracks in the ground caused by her power slam came a thicket of tentacles that blocked the shot for her. A cluster of them fell to the ground, dissolving into a pool of black tar.

"This is the face of true unity!" the Mukari announced. Blaze retaliated by throwing the cube directly into the tentacle thicket. Should they come into contact with it, that piece of the Mukari would be trapped inside, and with the enormous volume the Mukari Prime was composed of, she needed as much of it gone as possible.

The cube landed in the pool of tar, which caused it to give off a flash of bright blue, sucking in the mass of tentacles the pool was attached to into the cube's opening. The Mukari Prime snarled at Blaze and retaliated by launching an array of blobs at her from her own body. Blaze crouched down and swept her hand across the ground in a wide arc, summoning a wall of flame that protected her and incinerated the projectiles on contact.

More of the Mukari landed around them. Dozens of them, and if Blaze had to guess, there were even more on the way. The lack of sleep and constant fighting all night had already brought Blaze to her limits. If it was just the Mukari Prime, she might be able to hold out long enough for dawn to arrive, but not against an entire legion, not even if she was fully rested.

Blaze charged at the Mukari Prime, launching a full salvo of fireballs at her to suppress her while she made off with the cube. Marine formed a protective wall, sacrificing her wings to shield herself from the assault. Just as Blaze expected, this Mukari was smarter, but it bought her enough time to grab the cube. She wheeled around and broke off into a sprint, hopping up the pile of rubble and making her way to the gate on the opposite end of the garden. She reserved her energy for running, only lobbing a fireball at any Mukari that might have a chance at grabbing her.

She wasn't even at the gate when two more Mukari landed in front of her, blocking her path with wings outstretched. Blaze immediately recognized their forms as Cream and Tails, but that was all she had time to do. She tried to think of another way to bypass them and escape, but in the few seconds after they landed, Blaze was tripped by a large sweeping tentacle and knocked to the ground. The cube went flying out of her hands and somewhere into the garden.

"No no NO! DAMMIT!" she screamed in frustration as she was lifted by the tentacles and brought back to the Mukari Prime. She moved to launch another fireball at her, but more tentacles grabbed her arms and wrists and spread them out to her sides, where she couldn't aim at any more Mukari.

"I planned on killing you, as you've proven just how dangerous you can be to our unity." the Mukari Prime hissed. "But then you wouldn't be able to understand the depth of your failure, and the glory of our true unity!" Tentacles came and pierced through Blaze's clothes, tearing them apart on one pass. She didn't have much of a rack, especially when compared to Amy, Vanilla or Rouge, but it was a modest double B cup.

"You will also be part of our unity, but it won't be a gentle assimilation." she said. "Even in our midst, do we understand the importance of humiliation!"

Blaze's legs were forced apart while two black tentacles snaked their way between her legs. One of them prodded against her tight pink asshole for a brief moment before plunging right in, and the second rubbed and prodded against her plump labia.

"AAUHA!" Blaze cried out as the tentacle in her ass pumped vigorously into her. It wasn't being gentle with her, and it was exceptionally thick. Despite the pain, her labia tingled with pleasure and anticipation about getting penetrated by the one rubbing it. Blaze herself, though, didn't agree with any of this. She wasn't a fan of anal, and was definitely not cool with the prospect of getting raped by the Mukari for all eternity. She still looked around for any possible method in which to escape, but she was suspended twenty feet in the air, and her arms and wrists were detailed at such an angle that she couldn't retaliate in any way.

But wait... maybe she could fire at the tentacles around her wrists? She'd fall backwards, but if she timed it right, she'd be able to destroy the tentacle in her ass, probably whatever pursued her before she landed, the latter of which she could pull off without injury because she was a cat. It'd be a tight window, though, and she'd have to immediately run after she landed, but it was her only chance to es-

"AAAAAHHHHH!!" Blaze's scream went higher pitched as the tentacle rubbing and prodding at her pussy lips plunged into her, but she could immediately tell something was wrong. It was too tight, and the sensations were too intense. It felt like she had a G-spot on both sides of her pussy, and nubs on both sides of the tentacle rubbed against them with each pass it made.

"NO! THAT'S THE WRONG HOLE!" Blaze screamed. She thrashed around violently as the tentacle probed its way past her "cervix". The sensations, both the strangest mixture of pleasure and pain, proved too much for her to endure. Her muscles all clamped around the tentacles as her orgasm exploded in her body like a nuclear warhead. She had multiple orgasms before, but even that took a while to achieve, and it was the result of a vibrator to both her clit and G-spot for over half an hour.

She slumped back in the grasp of the tentacles, even as they continued to violate her. A third one joined the other two, entering her actual pussy this time and pushing all the way inside of her. Everything was so alien and intense, Blaze's mind could barely comprehend it. She felt like she was constantly cumming now, and what little grasp of awareness she retained was starting to slip away.

The tentacles all bulged and shot their loads, one after the other, into her holes. Her stomach started to swell until she looked to be in the later stage of a pregnancy. Even after this, the tentacles continued to violate her. The Mukari's black cum oozed out of all her holes. They continued to pump her up with more, even as she was overflowing.

"You're going to make the perfect broodmare." The Mukari Prime said, pulling Blaze down to her level. "Now, before you lose yourself completely, take one last look at your precious sun, and know your objective was just out of your reach."

Blaze's head slumped over to the side, staring at the horizon. The sun was starting to rise. The cloud cover had dispersed enough to let in a few rays of light, one of which beamed directly onto the estate grounds. So close... if she only held out for a little bit longer...

There was a sudden flash of blue light from somewhere to the right side of the garden. The Mukari Prime looked over with horror, knowing from the Mukari's collective consciousness what that light meant. Over where the cube landed, she saw Rouge had snuck over and finished the puzzle to open the top and direct it at the first light of dawn. The runes all over the artifact glowed bright blue.

"No! NO! NOOOOOO!!" The Mukari Prime's form dissolved into a black wisp, which was sucked into the opening in the cube, leaving Marine's form behind, unconscious, but pristine. Blaze felt the creature's hold on her disappear almost immediately, its tentacles and seed that had violated her body expelled so quickly she felt strangely empty after being filled to capacity by them only seconds before.

The rest of the Mukari also vanished into the cube. Thinner black wisps emerged from the city, dragged and distorted by the invisible vacuum generated by the artifact. This continued for several more minutes before the artifact closed shut, the runes returning to normal.

Exhausted and completely spent from her time possessed as the Mukari, Rouge slumped over unconscious. Blaze also felt it difficult to remain awake. All three of her holes were sore from the abuse they endured. Despite that, the burn felt good.

The most important thing, however, was that they won. The Mukari was back in its prison where it belonged. Blaze rested her head back and smiled. So ended another eventful Halloween in Mobotropolis.

* * *

Dawn seemed to come early for Vanilla and Sally, who spent the entire night in each others' loving embrace. By the end of the night, they were sore and exhausted from the many orgasms they shared, their asses still stuffed with large butt plugs and their pussies sharing a double dildo. Sally was on top, Vanilla's thick legs wrapped around her back holding her close.

"The kids have been remarkably quiet." Vanilla whispered. "Think we should check up on them?"

"Nah, they're old enough to look after themselves."

"Yeah, you're right. It is morning, though. They might come asking us about breakfast."

"They know how to make cereal. Besides, I think I'm ready for bed, and I'd like you to join me."

"Mmmn, I'd like that." Vanilla reluctantly removed her legs from around Sally, and the two broke their embrace to lay down next to each other. Vanilla ended up being the one with the dildo still inside her pussy, which for Sally made her feel like a futanari under the covers. The queen rested her head on Vanilla's enormous breasts and found herself quickly drifting off to sleep.
