Nexus Effect

Ch.84

“You want what? For what?” Yola asked her lover.

“Not a want, I need to eat something big and alive, whole, to enhance my new membrane.” Penny repeated to her girlfriend after she finished chugging the nutrition flask and went back to eating the bacon and sausage being served for breakfast. She was forced to be in human form since, y’know, Cerberus goons, but I could tell she was playing with her looks, adding a slant to her brows and eyes to give her a more vulpine expression.

“Okay, but aren’t we heading to the Citadel to check on Thane’s kid next?” I asked as I ate some Dextro paste. Yeah, they still weren’t letting us have real food.

“Yes, so I’m likely going to be kept waiting until we reach another planet with wildlife.” Penny grumbled as she shoved her food into her mouth like she was starving.

“Unf, what gender were you before, Ivara?” Kasumi moaned as the Warframe sat with us. Those two were nearly inseparable by this point and I blame Hunter for hooking those two up.

“Herm. My mute clones are the same, though one has become a Void entity after stealing a mask of a fictional entity and then the mask of Majora.” Ivara replied to Kasumi as the metal of her mouth area morphed into a human mouth and she began to eat their shared breakfast.

“Wait, you’re a Prime?” I asked in confusion, since she used the Loxley helmet and wasn’t using any Prime liveries or armor.

“Yes, but I prefer to save my true form for parties and fancy get-togethers. It’s too shiny and flowy for me to use on the job.” Ivara answered as she shifted in her seat and Kasumi grunted-wait. A-are they…? W-well, that’s their business.

“How many primes are there and are any missing from the game?” I asked as Ivara tilted her head before making an O of realization with her lips.

“Oh, you mean the game we’re based on! Well, yeah, we follow that model of design as it’s easier to just take from a goddess’s memory of something that works, but we’re really haunted biomechanical armor instead of being tormented and forcibly mutated people.” Ivara replied as she rocked in her seat and Kasumi hissed. “As for any missing...we don’t have a Revenant, a Nidus, a Garuda or a Nekros. Two for the simple reason that they involve death, two because you would have to be mass murderers and still loyal to the crown to a fault to be deemed worth keeping as a Warframe after death.”

“That’s interesting.” Yola commented as she noted this info in her omni-tool.

“Death hasn’t found anyone she would let have the titles or powers of Nekros or Revenant, but she’s looking. It would have to be someone who worships her and doesn’t go on killing sprees from what I have heard while guarding the court. Nidus has to be someone who is a master in biowarfare attacks, Garuda would have to be a mass murderer.” Ivara explained before she hummed and Kasumi keened quietly.

“Okay then. Please don’t impregnate Kasumi at the breakfast table.” I requested with a chiding tone and she smiled shamelessly.

“I refuse. She’s perfect for me. My lord had made the right call.” Ivara bounced in her seat and Kasumi whined.

“I-Ivara~...” Kasumi panted out before Ivara sucked on a sausage and then ate it. “F-fuck~...”

“Not fair. I have to be all prim and proper while you two get to have sex in full view of everyone.” Penny grumbled quietly at them and Ivara continued to smile as she finished breakfast for her and Kasumi and promptly vanished.

“Maybe if you get a Warframe partner.” Miranda sighed from where she’d been quietly eating breakfast until now.

“That’s why I need to eat a large mass of living carbon. I’ll essentially make my own variant of a Warframe.” Penny clarified as she patted her own cheek for emphasis.

“From what I’ve gathered, three of them would be perfect for Miranda, Jack or Samara.” Jacob said as he looked up the data Cerberus had on the Empire.

“I doubt that.” Jack and Miranda said at the same time, Samara just raised an eye crest at him.

“Mag, a magnetic-based Warframe, she’s known for altering the magnetic fields around her. Then there’s Nova who manipulates Anti-matter. Then you have Nyx, who is an immensely powerful telepath.” Jacob brought up and the three biotics looked at each other in consideration.

“That’s a null point, because the Warframes are top-tier Imperial military assets. The only reason we have Ivara on board is because she arrived with Hunter and fell for Kasumi’s sneaky mischievous ways.” Penny reminded everyone between drinks of orange juice. Or an equivalent.

“True.” Yola said with a smile as the girls pouted.

“Didn’t I get a warframe?” I questioned myself as everyone snapped to look at me. “Oh, there was the Nova I had for a time, but I gave it to Marrow.”

“You gave one up?” Penny asked in surprise as she went for her nutrition flask again.

“It was only temporary as she’s not a part of any military branch within the Empire.” Pillar spoke up, causing me to jolt in surprise at the scarily sneaky big man in full plate armor as he sat at the table and lifted his helmet’s visor to reveal his handsome distinctly European face with faint freckles that hinted at his heritage belonging to the United Kingdom. “The fact she used it instead for Marrow Willow to return to the Empire with all-due-haste is a point in Nora’s favor.”

“So Nora is the reason why the Empire got established so quickly.” Miranda noted and I squirmed at everyone looking at me so pointedly.

“Yes. Which is why she’s already a citizen of the Empire even if she hadn’t married Marrow, who is directly descended from Willow and Honey. Her information was invaluable in preparing us for diplomacy with the Citadel and war with the Hegemony.” Pillar replied before looking at Penny. “As for your need to consume a living entity, as a Doom Marine, I have the means to bring you something suitable later on.”

“Oh, that’d be great!” Penny chirped and I looked at Pillar warily.

[1001100 01101001 01101110 01100101]

“This is not great! What is that?!” Penny yelped at the sight of the monster in the huge cage that Pillar had inexplicably summoned in the hangar. It was a polka-dotted screaming demon that looked like some Gorilla-Pig mutant.

“A Pinky. We have a prison of sorts where my brothers and I train in, to hone our skills in killing demons, called the Ripatorium that we keep captured demons in for practice.” Pillar explained as the Pinky continued to thrash around in its cage.

“You’re kidding.” Penny said in shock as she kept a distance.

“No, are you ready?” Pillar asked as Shepard took off her clothes and morphed into her more comfortable vixen form as she took steadying breaths that while she didn’t need still helped her calm down.

“Yeah, I guess.” Penny said, but was taken by surprise when Pillar promptly opened the cage and the Pinky charged right at her. She jumped out of the way and the demon slammed it’s head into the Hammerhead, putting a huge dent in the hull. “A little warning would’ve been nice!” She snarled at the towering knight as she put distance between her and the monster.

“Sorry.” Pillar apologised before subduing the demonic beast with a wave of his left hand that lifted it from the floor and brought it before her. “I can manipulate gravity, so I can keep it still. Now, eat.”

“That was the plan, but god is this thing fugly.” Penny scrunched up her snout in disgust, but took another breath before she opened her mouth wide, then stretched her jaw to make her mouth replace a good portion of her body, pulling on her stored mass to accommodate it.

She wrapped her massive slime mouth over the beast and engulfed it, which took it from Pillar’s power and it struggled within her even after she ‘swallowed’ and her mouth shrunk back to her head which was perched on the orb of goo her body was turned into to hold such a mass. It tasted like a spicy pepper and Penny moaned as her body set to digesting her live prey. It felt better than it had any right to, like some viceral primal part of her was being sated.

“So, how was it?” Pillar asked her as she panted and moaned.

“Spicy.” Penny groaned as the demon suddenly stopped struggling and her slime began absorbing the organic fresh-as-possible source of nutrition and carbon.

“Want some more? Try a different demon?” Pillar offered more, which surprised her.

“You sure this won’t turn me into a monster?” Penny asked worriedly as her body finished assimilating the demon and she morphed much easier back to her base shape and patted herself down. If she didn’t know better, she’d think her faux flesh was even more believable.

“Urta eats these demons and she hasn’t turned into one, now has she? I know because she’s my wife as well.” Pillar replied as he looked Penny over in consideration, she even raised her tail and helped him check her over to see if there was anything amiss back there.

“Is she married to all of you?” Penny mewled in concern as Pillar clinically opened her butt cheeks to check her anus. She must have gotten it right since he moved down to open her vagina, making her bite her lip. Even if Urta said all of them were allowed, she still wouldn’t feel right swinging with her sister’s lovers on a more serious note.

“Excluding Slayer, yes. I thought you would have known that from her memories?” The knight questioned as he rounded to her front, manually examining her breasts and she whimpered as he squeezed and pressed them, like he was feeling for lumps or other issues.

“I don’t see everything Urta knows.” Penny informed the man who had moved up to her head and opened her jaw open after she had spoken to look in her mouth.

“Oh, well, what would you like to know?” Pillar offered after he seemed satisfied with the look of her mouth and was now looking in her ears.

“Um, what can Demons do? Will this inadvertently affect me?” Penny asked for clarification on her original concern and after he hummed and nodded in satisfaction with her appearance, she smiled brightly at her new ability to accurately assume a flesh-like body.

“There are many demonic species in Hell, some more terrifying than others…” Pillar said as he summoned a couple of nearby crates for them to sit on and he began a long lecture on the details of the known types of demons. He covered their strengths, their weaknesses, their place and rank within the hierarchy, so-on.

To be frank, it was like listening to a xenobiology/sociology lecture. If she wasn’t genuinely interested, she would’ve fallen asleep instead of intently paying attention for nearly 2 hours.

“...As for how this will affect you? You might actually become stronger for every Hellspawn you devour. It is how my brothers and I have become strong though not by literally devouring them. You are made of Argent energy after all. Then again, there were some circumstances like a relic from Hell or a boon bestowed on you from the Goddesses themselves that have brought us to where we are now.” Pillar wrapped up with a sigh and Penny was thankful she finally got some of the answer to her question after all of that.

“So it’s fine for me to eat demons. Got it.” Penny summarized his lecture in one sentence and he sighed harder.

“Basically, yes. Just be glad that you’re using your powers responsibly and going for the throat as fast as you can manage instead of dicking around like my brothers and I did. We never asked to be Gods, but it just seemed a natural progression in the end. Even so, we acted too late and our world was destroyed, blown up by hell. At least we ordered a full scale evacuation of the planet before the end. Most of the civilians made it out, so we were able to continue in another realm. Here.” Pillar informed the vixen, who wilted in sympathy.

“At least you did what you could. In the end, that’s all we can try to do.” Penny said with conviction and Pillar sighed again.

“No, we didn’t.” Pillar’s head hung low at the memory, until he felt a hand grasping at his own. He saw Penny holding his hand and leaning towards him with her glowing blue eyes piercing into his.

“If it came too late, it came too late. Hindsight is 20/20, what matters is what you do going forward. Regret is one thing, but wallowing in something you cannot change is pointless. What you can do is continue forward, marching on their fortresses and their strongholds with the force of gods backing you. Make them suffer, make them pay, make them die. Eventually, one day, it will be enough. That day may never seem to come, but it will, whether or not you are part of it, it will. Or they will win.” Penny was so close she was almost touching his face with her nose, her eyes searing his vision with the bright turquoise light that filled them. “Are you going to give up?”

“No. I don’t want to, there’s too much at stake.” Pillar answered with conviction.

“Then you better fucking man-up soldier. Now, drop and give me twenty!” Penny demanded with her grim and serious demeanor suddenly doing a 180 into cheerful mischief.

“...You just wanted to say that, didn’t you?” Pillar asked with amusement and Penny snickered.

“I never got to be a drill instructor.” Penny joked and put her hands on her hips as she sat up straight, reminding her that she was stark naked and had been for the past few hours with him, alone, together. Penny tried not to blush, feeling heat in her face at realizing she was completely nude and felt comfortable with it even with a man her sister is married to looking at her.

“For you I can. Got any weights around here I can use?” Pillar asked as he removed his divine white armour piece by piece, starting with his helmet and cuirass.

“N-no need for that! It was just a joke!” Penny waved her hands frantically as he-oh~ six pack~… “N-not really? This is the hangar, the crates range from twenty kilograms up to the heaviest thing here is the Hammerhead and it weighs about 15 tonnes!” It had to be lightweight since it uses Mass Effect and microthrusters for mobility.

“I can do that.” Pillar said with a confident smile as he stripped down to his pants and boots.

“But it’s expensive military gear!” Penny said, unsure if she wanted to see him undress more. Half of her was screaming yes, the other half was distinctly uncomfortable with it.

“Okay, anything else that isn’t bolted down and expensive military gear?” Pillar questioned as Penny bit her bottom lip. “Hm, I feel rather comfortable in my wolf form. Would you mind if I change form?”

“I-I uh, sure, but everything here is expensive.” Penny mentioned in the vain hope he would change his mind even as Pillar approached the Hammerhead.

“I’ll make sure not to break it.” Pillar nodded as his human form smoothly shifted from his 9 foot height to a staggering 14 feet tall as he became a pure white-furred dire wolf with muscles on his muscles and a bushy tail that wagged, drawing her eyes almost as much as his scent did her nose.

“Uh, oh mama.” Penny said as her eyes roved over the massive wolf who got under the Hammerhead and she licked her lips as she groped her breast and a hand drifted to her groin.

“See something you like?” Pillar teased her as he got into position and started his set of twenty press-ups, the Hammerhead lifted into the air off it’s landing struts.

“Yes.” Penny panted as she began masturbating at the sight of this absolute stud lifting so much weight with an ease that made her core clench in desire. If he can move that much weight, he must fuck like a god...which describes him perfectly.

“Do you mind describing what you like seeing right now?” Pillar asked between breaths and Penny bit her lip as her tail whacked against the crate she was on and her fingers dove deeper into her cunt while her free hand played with her breasts.

“Y-your ass and tail. They’re the only part of you clearly visible from this angle, but your ass is clenching so tightly, your tail is wagging so fast and sending your scent everywhere.” Penny panted and sniffed deeply at the air to take in his pheromone-rich musk even though he was several feet away.

“Hm~. Well, that’s twenty, what next instructor?” Pillar teased as he crawled out, revealing his white fur got dirty underneath the military machine. It may not be like old style vehicles, but it still sets down on wild terrain.

“Uh, push-ups this time?” Penny half-asked, half-hoped and his response was to approach her and get into position, his face right in front of her cunt. “T-twenty count!” Penny nervously added before she groaned as his snout pressed into her lower lips and his tongue lapped into her depths, but it ended too quickly and he went down to push up and make out with her quim again. “Unf~!”

He didn’t speak, he went down, then up, down on her, then down, up, down on her. He did this a total of twenty times and she was going crazy~! She was a panting needy wreck by the time he finished and peered up at her with his tail wagging, waiting.

“G-good man! H-have a meal then a shower.” Penny pleaded and he took the invite, diving into her cooch and ravishing her vagina with his tongue. “Ahn~!” She humped his snout and he groped her ass as he ate her so ravenously it was like he was dying of thirst for her slime. Before she could even think of saying anything else, she gushed around his tongue and he lapped her juices up.

Then, he stood, unbuckling his belt with a quirked brow and she nodded breathlessly. He dropped his pants to reveal a 20 inch long cock with basketball testicals beneath. He gently knelt down and pushed into her, but she accepted him easily and pulled him into a kiss he had to bend down for due to their size difference as he began fucking her properly.

Penny only idly remembered her hesitation from before, but more insistent in her mind was the instinctive scream of rapture being brought upon her by the man who she considered her husband even if she didn’t. The man who smelled, tasted, sounded, looked and felt like her husband. Penny decided as she came for the upteenth time, that this once, she was his wife.
