The armada of nearly 5,000 Imperium warships maintained orbit around the fourth planet of a binary solar system. The vessels remained fully cloaked, invisible to even the most sophisticated sensors. Although far from the Collective's trade routes, every precaution had been taken to ensure they weren't accidentally detected. Surprise, after all, was a key part of the plan to retake the Collective from the AIs that had once served humanity.
This planet had been chosen for its humid warm year-round climate, and many mineral hot springs, which played a key role in birthing the hybrids. When Ragnar and I landed our shuttle near the hybrid settled, we were shocked at how many of the females where pregnant.
On average, pregnant hybrids carry approximately 3,000 fetuses. Although we had agreed before departing that it would be necessary to significantly increase our numbers to win the impending war with the Collective's AIs, it was startling to see how our three thousand offspring had taken to the task with such unexpected zeal.
After a quick calculation, I estimated at this reproductive pace, we would number at least 3 billion hybrids in just two years. No wonder the original Imperium had been able to take over the Milky Way Galaxy in such a relatively short time! We certainly would have more than enough hybrids to pilot the fleet and field troops.
Technically, the first generation of hybrids were brothers and sisters, but the Imperium AI had assured us that this massive inbreeding wouldn't result in the type of genetic abnormalities and mutations the would have occurred with humans. Fortunately, our partial Imperium DNA was robust and differentiated enough to ensure that future generations would be genetically robust and stable.
Exhausted from the months of frantic work to get the fleet ready for battle, I slowly walked up the hill to the shelter that had been erected for Ragnar and me. Before entering, I looked out over the city below me. Our children, and even some of our grandchildren, were busy working and playing everywhere. I was surprised that some of them wore human-like clothing.
As I plopped down on our bed, I saw Ragnar lumber into the bedroom behind me. He looked exhausted too.
"Come lay down with me," I said, patting the mattress next to me.
"Why do you think some of the children started wearing clothing?" I wondered aloud, truly puzzled by what I had seen.
"When the fleet got close enough to ensure that our communications couldn't be picked up by the Collective, Ta' Pol transmitted all the data files from our old freighter to the colony. It seems that some of the hybrids became fascinated with human fashion, and decided to design their own clothing. I know, it seems pointless, given that our bodies are covered with scales that offer concealment and protection from the elements, even the hard vacuum of space. But, kids, you know?" Ragnar said, with a smirk.
I thought about that revelation for a moment, and then said, "It makes me wonder what other human eccentricities they are picking up from those data archives."
Ragnar laid down next to me, and continued his explanation, while we snuggled.
"Kang told me that the exploration of human sexuality has become a huge topic of interest. And, as you might have guessed, it is not particularly fond of that development, but tolerating it, so far," Ragnar said, chuckling.
I put my head across Ragnar's huge chest, and stroked his face. This was good news, as both of us felt strongly that the merger of human and Imperium sexuality was the only chance for the hybrids to avoid falling into the same trap that had destroyed their Imperium ancestors over 60 million years ago.
We could ill-afford another gender-driven civil war. That conflict had come about, in large part, because of the brutality females suffered during mating. The blending of humans and Imperium DNA at least gave the hybrids a fighting chance at finding a more equitable way of mating and relating to one another this time around.
Ragnar told me that some of the hybrid females had even become openly dominate, finding submissive males to take as companions. Other females followed in the footsteps of their Imperium ancestors, and enjoyed fully submitting to their male partners. However, they all appeared to be choosing of their freewill, not driven by the single-minded biological imperative of the original Imperium. I was relieved to hear that their own individuality guided them in sex, love, and relationships.
Personally, as a human male, I had always been more comfortable subservient to females. As a hybrid female, I became even more submissive, at least in the bedroom. Publicly, however, I asserted my will and authority and stood equal to my mate, Ragnar. Clearly, my new-found confidence directly stemmed from my hybrid transformation.
I thought and saw life through alien eyes, yellow lizard like ones, to be exact. As a hybrid, my intellect had increased exponentially, especially in areas such as science and engineering. I felt comfortable leading, in ways I had never dreamed possible as a human male. In the truest since, Ragnar and I were equals in our work to overthrow the Collective's AIs, and free humanity from their servitude.
Nonetheless, behind closed doors, I preferred the old Imperium way of mating. I relished the feelings of helplessness, humiliation, utter surrender that were part of the ritual. Indeed, Ragnar and I had gone far beyond the basic Imperium mating ritual, adding many of the BDSM practices we enjoyed as humans.
After we slept for several hours, I woke and went to the bathroom. When the lights came on, I wasn't surprised to see that my stomach had turned transparent, with thousands of inert tadpole-like creatures floating in blue liquid. The sight of massive procreation going on all around us had subconsciously triggered me to become fertile again.
When I returned to the bed, Ragnar immediately noticed my visible womb. As he watched me slowly circle the bed to his side, his huge cock began to stiffen. I stood next to his head, and open the scales covering my alien vagina, he immediately caught the scent from it, and pulled me on top of him.
"Are you sure you want to go through another pregnancy so soon?" he asked, looking concerned.
"We can't have our children having all the fun," I said, smiling seductively.
"No, I suppose we can't. Get your slave collar, and the shackles. If I am going to knock you up, let's make it memorable," he commanded.
I obeyed, scampering over to the trunk where we kept our personal things, and retrieved the indicated items. I brought them back to the bed, and then knelt next to Ragnar, head bowed, arms out reached, offering the collar and shackles to him. Ragnar sat up, fastened the metal slave collar around my neck, shackled my wrists and ankles together. The chains connecting them allowed me to stand, but only if I hunched forward.
As he stood up, four long slimy tentacles erupted from his back. The moonlight from the window highlighted the razor-sharp spines on his hard cock. I lick my kips, hungry for him. Two of his tentacles wrapped around my chains, easily suspending me in the air, face down. I swung back and forth slowly, about knee height off the ground, as Ragnar moved behind me.
"You are going to take this like the bitch you are, understand?" he said.
"Yes, master," I said, panting in lust.
The collar was tight, making it hard to breath and speak. I saw another tentacle reach under our bed and retrieve the pain stick. When Ragnar had been a human female, she had often used that electric crop on me. It was exceedingly painful.
However, my thick scales now insulated me from it. So, I was surprised to see it. He must have retrieved it from our old freighter, while we had been aboard the Imperium flagship. I felt him press it against my anus, and my eyes went wide in fear. I realized that my insides had no protection from its powerful shocks!
"Allie...I mean...Ragnar...please hurt me, fuck me, I am yours to do with, as you see fit," I said, my voice trembling and raspy.
"Bitch, I know that. Tell me how much you want it," he said, snorting.
"I have never wanted, needed anything more. I crave your cock ripping up my cunt, your tentacles stretching me, your tale penetrating my ass. If you don't fuck me soon, my desire will consume me!" I said, moaning loudly.
And with that, he plunged the pain stick up my ass, and pressed the stud to deliver a mind-numbing shock that raced up my spine, even making my teeth hurt. I opened my mouth to scream, but it was instantly filled with his tail. This was a new move. My eyes went wide with surprise, I choked on his tail, as he forced it further down my throat. Then, he opened wide the triangular end of his tail, completely sealing off my airway.
As I choked quietly on his tail, hanging from the shackles, looking down at the floor, I became desperate to breath. Ragnar pressed the tip of his cock firmly against my pussy. With a loud grunt, he simultaneously pulled the chains toward him, and shoved his powerful hips forward, causing me to be fully impaled his cock. Its jagged spines cut deeply into my tender pussy. I tried to scream, but couldn't make a sound, with his tail buried down my throat.
I began to get light headed, my body desperately craving air. I struggled, fruitlessly. As the pain in my vagina raged unchecked, he began pumping me hard. Each stroke was full, and caused massive damage to my cunt. However, my hybrid healing abilities instantly repaired my torn nerves and flesh, making each subsequent stroke even more painful.
