He had always wanted to make his mark on the world, give of himself. His dream had been to travel the world and provide care for those less fortunate. Although he could still be a doctor, he was limited in what he would be able to accomplish that way. He had lost his girlfriend too, they fought over his decision. She had been unable to accept the changes in his life. And frankly as a medical student herself, he knew she didn’t have time for him anymore. He didn’t blame her for it, but it still hurt. He lived too far from the college and it had just fallen apart.
He saw a couple of strange people watching him from the side of the gym. At first he thought maybe it was more ambulance chasers, lawyers that would try to convince him to sue. But he rethought that. The woman was gorgeous, and might have been a lawyer, but the guy with her definitely wasn’t. He looked like he was used to a hard day’s work, and dressed more like a blue collar worker.
He wondered what they wanted with him…
A few hours later he found out. At first he didn’t believe it, at all. He looked around wondering where the crazy police were, and wanted to ask them why they hadn’t locked up these two yet.
At least until he was beamed away like on that old science fiction show…

Bill grinned. At least when Sally woke up she had apologized. He supposed he deserved it though. He probably should have called her and let her know he was alive, but couldn’t come back. Told her something at least, anything. Although she hadn’t hit him again yet, and it had been a few days ago. It had taken them a day or so of explaining and talking, but Brendon and Sally had eventually come around to the idea. He grinned as he thought about the look on Brendon’s face when Ariella had fixed his spine.
Nothing to do with powers, just those medical beds and the application of advanced medical science. He had the feeling he could have fixed it, but wouldn’t be trying that until it was the only choice, a situation where the person would die if he didn’t try. He was still wary of his new abilities and the possible harm he could cause.
They had left Earth a few days ago, taking a deceptive and winding route away from the planet. No one picking them up would be able to backtrack their origin. They would be where he found that other Sprisi soon and he was a little nervous, he hoped he wouldn’t have a problem with it.
He heard the door open, followed quickly by a gasp, he looked over and saw Sally there staring with her mouth open. It actually took several seconds for him to figure out what she was gasping about. It is amazing what the human mind can come to consider normal. Of course, the delay could also have been the distraction of Tiffani’s hot wet silken mouth pleasuring him, as she knelt in front of the center chair.
He and Tiffani were still spending a lot of time with each other. Despite the bumps in their relationship due to his old nature they were closer and more in love than ever. Also, they hadn’t stopped fucking like rabbits the last few days. Not an inordinate amount, for this crew anyway, as he still needed and wanted to have time alone with his other mates. Just more than usual. He just sort of shrugged at Sally not really sure what to say. Maybe she was surprised at his extra two inches and the extra thickness as well as the actual act?
He considered asking her to join, but he really didn’t want to get slapped again. Her blush deepened though, and he could see in her life essence that she was very tempted. She didn’t though. She turned and walked out, not saying a word to him. He shrugged, maybe that embarrassment and conflicting feelings would drop for her when she was changed.
He was sure Anise and Sylvia would love both of them, but he was determined to wait for their decision as he agreed to. He didn’t want to get caught up in arrogance, what if he was wrong? After all, Vino had probably been wiser than he was.
“Oh god baby, that’s amazing.”
His thoughts scattered as she did that saliva whirlpool thing in the back of her throat…
--------------
Gwen was running scans on the solar system they were approaching. It looked like there were only two ships in orbit. It was not a major planet in the Empire, making it a perfect test ground for Bill to examine and hopefully destroy his first Sprisi. She felt uncomfortable with that thought. She didn’t want to destroy anything or anyone. But she knew they were malevolent and tortured their victims for energy to feed on. What they did to those they possessed was even worse, as that person just ceased to be. The possessed host would be a prisoner in their own mind and unaware that their lives were stolen.
She sighed and her nipples hardened as she felt the surge of pleasure from Bill as he filled Tiffani’s throat with his seed. She licked her lips as she determined to get someone else watching the scans next time.
What followed could hardly even be called a skirmish. She watched as Ariella just moved straight in and disabled the ships, not even bothering to cloak first for an initial surprise attack. She ran scans of the surface, letting her head droop forward as she felt Bill start massaging her shoulders. She watched as he pointed at the map.
He said, “Scan there love, that’s where the Sprisi is. It is a weird feeling, once I spy one in astral projection, if I concentrate on the life signature I can feel where it is. Sort of.”
She just nodded as his strong fingers dug firmly into her shoulders, it felt so good. She set the scan for that area and was not surprised by what she found, disgusted maybe, but not surprised.
Gwen said, sounding distracted because of the massage, “There is a small camp of Demonae there, just five of them. They have a number of Elvii in cages.”
She mewled a bit in need, when he kissed her gently on the neck, right below her ear. She watched him walk over to Ariella and Larissa before disappearing in swirling white lights. She was so going to jump him and fuck his brains out when he got back. In the meantime though, she set the scanners to warn her if something happened to anyone on the surface and stood up. She noticed Tiffani was still on the bridge. Naked and sitting in the center seat, feeling as heated as she was…
Chapter 9
Bill took a deep breath as they appeared behind one of the tall cages. It was made of solid wood. He didn’t see any windows or ventilation at all and he clenched his teeth in anger. The Elvii must be suffering badly in there.
He peeked around the edge of the small building and could make out three of them in front. None of those had the Sprisi they were looking for in them. He and his two mates leaned around the building and took out the three guards. He could feel the Sprisi’s essence, it seemed to be coming from the larger building that looked more like a head quarters than a prison. They moved up cautiously watching from three directions, not knowing where that fifth guard was yet, not for sure anyway.
He turned his head as Larissa fired and watched the fourth guard go down. The only one left was the Sprisi. They cautiously opened the door. It was obvious the Sprisi wasn’t expecting them at all. He was eating lunch, an Elvii with a collar and chain serving him. He watched as the Sprisi’s face got alarmed and it lifted a weapon, but it was too slow. Ariella pulled her trigger, knocking him out.
He grinned when she shrugged and said, “It doesn’t have to be conscious does it?”
That was when the Sprisi jumped to the Elvii and took off toward the back door. Apparently the weapon only knocks out the host. He watched Ariella shoot the Elvii in the back and the Sprisi’s host fell to the floor.
Ariella said with a note of concern, “This could be a problem.”
As soon as Bill considered that they needed to trap it, golden tendrils shot out from his head and encased the Elvii’s body. He examined it and it looked like the same thing that stopped his mates from reading his mind. He watched with his other sight as the Sprisi fought to get through and flee, but could not.
Bill looked and studied. He was disturbed at how easy it was to figure out. Like pulling a linchpin he knew what part of its life essence to destroy, to make the rest of it unravel. The golden tendrils started to create the energy necessary to de
stroy the Sprisi but leave the host untouched. He tasted it with his mind and knew he could create it again, feed it to Ariella.
The tendrils channeled the energy into the Sprisi, he watched its life essence dissipate and fall apart. Then he saw something that disturbed him, a golden spirit rose from the Elvii and disappeared into a white light. Did he just see a Sprisi soul? Much like he had seen the golden soul of Vino? He also noted that his tendrils were golden. Did that mean his abilities came from his soul? Had the evolution of his body allowed him to tap into its power?
He wasn’t sure about any of it. But one thing had made him feel very uncomfortable, more than anything else. The Sprisi had an immortal soul, and it was stunningly beautiful and had filled him with awe when he had glimpsed it.
----------------
Bill watched the screen as they approached the Angillia system. This would be his first space battle without sex. After all, he actually needed to do something different for this one. This time he would be required to offer energy of a different kind.
He had felt uneasy after seeing the beauty of a Sprisi soul, was it really right to kill them? Was there no other way?
But after he saw the soul they had spent three days to heal the captives in the solid wood prisons. There had been no ventilation, or bathroom breaks. The worst of them so malnourished they needed to spend a day or two in the med bay aboard ship to save them. It was a study in horror and misery he would like to forget, but it allowed him to focus his anger. Right or not, the Sprisi and the horror they brought needed to be stopped.
He brought out his golden tendrils and generated the energy, he saw Ariella, the ship, reach for it and he handed it off. Then he saw an explosion of the energy reaching out toward the solar system and beyond. He was still conflicted about that. Did it make him a mass murderer? Or did the fact that it was war excuse it? He knew in his mind, that killing to defend others was right. That it did not make him like the Sprisi. But in his heart, it was harder to convince himself.
He saw Tiffani was already on the communications gear trying to get the ships to stand down. He turned around and walked off the bridge before the tears building in his eyes could fall. He could feel Gwen, her essence following him. He knew she would have felt the depth of his doubts. He just lay in bed and they held each other for a while as he tried to shake it off, it wasn’t easy. He felt like he violated something, but couldn’t define it. A betrayal of his soul and his gifts, used to destroy on a grand scale.
There must be another way…
---------------
Tiffani was excited. Angillia was theirs once again. Granted the rest of the Empire was not, but it was a start, and better than where they had been. She smiled at the thought that Gabe was right now becoming part of the crew, knocked out in the medical bay as the changes and enhancements worked through his body.
She couldn’t be happier, even Bill was happy for her about Gabe. Bill did tell her that he had no interest in the male form, but he doesn’t care who else does on the ship. She had known his jealousy was in the past, but it finally actually took hold of her last doubt and crushed it. The last of her worries fell away when he had welcomed Gabe aboard with sincerity, actually happy to see what he had perceived as his former rival.
Now if only Bill wasn’t so upset about killing the Sprisi, everything would be about perfect. Although she had to admit he did have a point. Their job was to literally commit genocide. She just didn’t see any other way around it though.
-----------------
Anise sighed when the Elvii servant blanched and quickly went the other way. She hoped that whatever that Sprisi did would be forgotten soon, she didn’t remember any of it. Based on the looks the Elvii kept giving her she didn’t want to. She had kissed Bill and the others senseless when they finally landed, Sylvia had too. She was so relieved they found the way to fight back, and was surprised by the two humans they brought back with them.
They had been spending time together and she liked both of them, so did Sylvia. They were still deciding though, and trying to figure out who was more comfortable with whom. She imagined it didn’t matter too much. She and Sylvia had always done things together. She didn’t think this would be any different. They would just be a team of four now so to speak.
------------------
Sally hadn’t been sure at all when she had agreed to come, but she was having a great time with Brendon, Anise and Sylvia. The last couple of days have been wonderful.
The Dravii were so beautiful and although she did prefer men she was really attracted to them. Their bodies were perfect for one, and they knew how to have fun. Her mind boggled at the time frame though, if she went through with this she would live for five hundred thousand years. It seemed a really long time to her, especially as she had not always been so happy in her life.
But then, things were definitely looking up for her in that way. Anise and Sylvia had no trouble flirting while finding her eyes, and even Brendon. He was being subtle and not staring at her huge tits like the brains were leaking from his head.
She noticed Bill had changed a great deal as well. He was still the same good man at the core but not as raw. Another thing she wasn’t sure about…
They all fucked an awful lot, and seemingly anywhere at any time. At least on ship, she didn’t see it happen in public though, since they got to the planet. Apparently on ship everywhere was private and they were all mates together. She couldn’t help getting an eyeful of Bill and he looked really good, plus, his cock looked bigger.
She was dubious when Bill had explained that her jealousy and instincts would drop away when she was advanced, she would have to see it to believe it. She couldn’t believe the universe was mainly advanced races that were into open relationships. Not so much sex wise, but open love. Sex, and a lot of it, seemed to be just the result. They were open to love from many mates, enriching their lives. It sounded both great and like total bullshit to her. But then, Bill explained they don’t really have their animal instincts anymore, and when she loses hers…
She shook her head. Hopefully she won’t be so insecure anymore either…
Sylvia looked at her and broke her thoughts by saying, “You are gorgeous, and yes, I think that will end. Bill can see emotions when looking at someone’s life essence, it will be proof it’s not just those beautiful sexy tits that draws people to you.”
She blushed and Sylvia came over and held her hand.
Sylvia said, “I would like you to join my crew, be my first. You should know though, Anise and I share everything, we would be spending a lot of time with her and Brendon.”
She got lost in Sylvia’s stunning emerald green eyes.
Sally shook her head to clear it and said, “You want me?” her voice filled with disbelief. She blushed, embarrassed at the wonder her voice held when she said that. Baring her soul and doubts in those three simple words.
Sylvia kissed her cheek and said, “I have wanted you since the first five minutes. I can read you. I just waited so you could get to know me as well.”
Sally was surprised at the depth of her emotions at the moment, she managed a nod though, realizing her fear and doubts weren’t really about the change, the sex, or the years at all. It was about her doubting Sylvia or Anise would even want her at all. Why would they?
She watched as Sylvia took out a devise and injected something in her thigh, she started to feel sleepy and fell into Sylvia’s arms as she lost consciousness.
--------------
She woke up slowly, but feeling great. She smiled as she felt Sylvia’s arms around her. Had she been holding her the whole time? When she looked up and saw Bill she wondered if it was time.
Bill asked, “You ready Sal? I already got Brendon, he woke up fifteen minutes ago.”
She nodded, a little frightened. She didn’t see him do anything but her head started to tingle, behind her eyes and on her scalp. She gasped as the life essences of the beings surrounding her came into her vision. She
studied Bill’s and saw… Love. He loved all of his mates, but also her. She blushed and wondered how he could still feel that after the hell she had put him through. Apparently for no reason at all.
Then she felt her jealousy fall away, she hadn’t quite dwelled on the dark feelings at all. She had felt any pain that came as a result was well deserved. The jealousy that had risen within her at seeing him lying with all his mates during the trip was no more. Now she was just happy for him. She understood now, the love between them had nothing at all to do with the love between him and his mates.
She was in awe when she saw the essence of Sylvia’s life. There was much she couldn’t understand, but what she did was beautiful. She turned in Sylvia’s embrace and kissed her softly, naturally. No more question of if she was wanted or not. She could see it and feel it to the depths of her soul. Their kiss grew more ardent and she felt Bill’s bright essence receding behind her.
Sylvia broke the kiss and said sharply, “And where do you think you are going Bill?”
Bill said, “I thought I would give the four of you privacy now that both Brendon and Sally are advanced.” He nodded over to Anise and Brendon, Anise was already happily riding Brendon’s cock on the other couch.
Anise looked back and said, “Fuck that, we haven’t had you in weeks. You need to stay.” She grinned unrepentantly at him, putting him on the spot.
Sally feeling bold now said, “Weeks? I haven’t felt his sweet cock for months!”
Bill laughed and shook his head, but then of course, he slipped between Sally and Sylvia on the couch, giving each of them a soft kiss…
Sally smiled happily, no doubts, just love and affection held sway here. Sally and Sylvia shared Bill and each other for quite a long while before sending him to Anise, claiming Brendon in trade for another round or two.
