To all,
Due to the interest in Part 1 I have continued this series. There is also a companion piece that was the first story that I submitted to Literotica. Completely trashed by the Editing staff, rightfully so. It's re-written to blend with this series and intermesh with this storyline. Again, this is still just your basic space story with some sex thrown in to make it real for me.
Any aliens, real or imagined in this story are purely a construct of my twisted and warped mind. My attempts to enter a realm (writing), that has always eluded me, have been exciting. I hope you enjoy my continued tale of Drew Jr.
Part Two of Drew's Troubles with Roaches and Cats.
The Warlord was dying, and he needed to protect his Pride with his last breath.
"21 Roach warriors killed. From what I am told, all our warriors are dead. I do not know how many females still live or how many others." Drew stated sedately.
The Warlord's eyes shifted to Tiffany and she responded, "Eleven females, 12 younglings and 30 kittens survive. She paused, "Plus the damaged one here" referencing the disabled queen Meme "and one scholar, your tainted Son."
Drew was elated to know the Eddie was alive, but the conversation continued. The Warlord turned his head to Drew again and started making a speech that he could only pick up every three words. He knew it was important because of the reaction by the disabled queen and especially Tiffany. Drew could feel the emotions swell with his connection to the Pride.
Tiffany started just saying "No, No, No!" before the Warlord stated, with an amazing amount of power, "Silence! you will kneel to the House Protector," he coughed up blood but continued. "You will honor him, protect him and be his Pride, until a safe haven can be reached," more coughing and more blood out of his mouth, "Do as I command!".
Meme dropped down beside the dying Warlord pleading to stay and die with him.
The Warlord, with almost his last breath said "No, he will need your counsel, this one," pointing at Tiffany, "is too vain and full of self to be useful."
"Bow and perform your duties," the Warlord provided in the last of his command voice.
Drew was out of his depth of understanding. He thought they were talking about Eddie. That was until all the females in the room went down on their knees and bowed to him, not the Warlord. The only one refusing to kneel was Tiffany, an inaction that was noted by all, except for Drew.
Drews response to himself "Oh, Fuck."
The Warlord grabbed his arm and pulled him close. He spoke to him, and Drew could feel him through the connection.
"Protect the Pride, they are my heart and soul. Scrub this planet clean of our bodies, we will not be food for the Roaches. Be my heart, until you can find a proper home for my lineage."
He then pulled Drew close and sunk his fangs in Drews shoulder. Drew screamed at the pain and felt something different. There was a strong burning and stronger nausea.
Drew knew he had been poisoned and he collapsed next to the dying Warlord. Drew's last thought before blackness, "Why am I so stupid?".
***
Drew awoke on the bridge of the Cat ship. He was slumped in the Warlord's captain's chair but could feel the ship under him throbbing. He no idea what the fuck was going on, but all he could think to himself was "How can I be so fucking stupid?".
Drew straightened up and sort of harrumphed and settled into the captain's chair. The chair folded up from the extended sleeping mode to action station. His little nurse playmate, and now bridge crew, handed him a cup of the warm Cat stimulant drink.
He really had no idea what was going on, but vague memories and shadows of things and thoughts were coming back. Based on two years dealing with Cat culture, Drew knew to act like a hard ass, take control and growl a lot. In other words, fake it until he understood more.
Drew scanned the boards and screens for the status. It seemed they were stationary over the last habitat they had created on this planet. "Status," he questioned the bridge staff.
"Good morning Lord Protector" he heard from behind him in a deeper male voice as Eddie exited the lift doorway leading to the bridge.
'Good morning Eddie, what did I miss?".
"We exited the planet with everything we had left and scrubbed the grounds clean and let all our Warriors and Pride members be lifted by fire to their next level." Eddie paused.
"You had a bit of delirium after the Warlord provided his 'transfer' but, did direct us to tow the Roach cruiser. That is being done now" Eddie completed his report.
Drew was perplexed but knew the comment 'transfer' was a bigger deal and needed to be explored in private. "The bug cruiser is being drug behind us? I assume it does not have any bug crew on it?".
From the bridge crew there came a feral response "No! they have been dealt with," with a corresponding growl from the crewman next to her.
"Report!" Drew said with a growl of his own.
The two crew members he was staring at, flew out of their seats and knelt at the base of the captain's dais. Both females said in hurried voices "Lord Protector, we did not mean to provide insult." They were talking over each other, but he got the gist that he was now the 'Lord' and had the power to go with it.
He held up his hand in a universal sign to stop talking. "And none was taken," Drew paused and noted the fresh bandages on the crew. "So, the remaining bug ship crew were dealt with by you both?" he questioned.
"With help from others," responded Eddie.
"They can respond for themselves," Drew responded turning to look at the mirth in Eddies eyes. "Please take over the science consoles and manage medical and environmental crews if they need help."
"Yes, my Lord," he replied chuffing as he walked to the science area of the bridge. Eddie knew Drew was just winging it, but very proud of his friend for carrying it off so well.
"Continue your report" Drew directed. The females looked at each other and then the one that had first spoken started to stumble through her talk into the bridge flooring.
"Please get up off your knees, look me in the eyes and talk to me," he stated exasperated.
They both scrambled to their feet and bowed to Drew. "We took the bug transport back to their craft with hope that they would allow docking. We got lucky and they did. Once we cycled the portal, we went in and killed what few bugs we found and avenged our Pride."
