Chapter Twenty-Two: In Deep.
Harry allowed Rose to rest up after her little encounter with him. He was pretty sure she was in a better place now than she was earlier. He stood next to Sara, with the two of them making their way to the mission briefing station. He moved up behind Nym who was looking up into the distance.
"Nymphadora," Harry said.
She turned around to give the trademark glare to this statement. Her eyes flashed, and the young woman grew a bit nervous when she came face to face for the handsome young man who had been the subject of many fantasies on her part, and those fantasies had been fooled.
"Um, I was just coming to look for you," Nym said. "Waller made a decision on what she wants to do. She wants as many hands on deck as possible."
Sara noticed Liv making her way from the gym where she was training. She pulled on the overcoat which covered her tank top. Liv nodded in response, holding the quiver full of arrows over her shoulder. Sara would honestly have not been surprised if some of the arrows in that quiver were among the highest tech arrows which packed a hell of a punch. She couldn't prove it, but it was obvious.
Holly formed the trio they made a misunderstanding with. She had been a bit more cordial to Harry than she was earlier. The five made their way into the briefing room. Amanda Waller sat with her back to them for a minute. She looked up on a map with the world. She slipped away a laptop.
"One of your spies called in?" Harry asked.
"Yes," Waller responded when she stepped back and invited the rest of them inside. "HIVE is on the move. They've arrived at Granger Mansion, Darhk was there, briefly."
"Darhk was there, and you didn't get a good shot on him?" Sara asked.
To her credit, Waller didn't blink. She just kept her gaze on the map in front of her. Harry raised his hand and it stopped Sara from saying anymore. He figured something else was going on, something much deeper than met the eye.
"Darhk is not the only leader in HIVE," Waller said. "There are others….we would like to capture him alive, if at all possible. But if he's killed, it would solve some problems, and open up the complication of many more."
Sara shook her head. She leaned back and waited for more information. Harry wrapped his arm around her waist. Sara heard the not so subtle tone of Harry's thoughts in his mind. 'I'm sure Nyssa would disagree of whether or not Darhk would be better off alive or not.'
'So, we can talk to each other in our minds,' Sara said. 'Do you know if this is a proximity thing where we have to be close up, or if we can be far away?'
'I'm not really sure,' Harry responded a half of a second later. 'It's not really the time or the place to have this conversation, as well?'
"What are we doing?" Holly asked.
"Darhk losing the tablet is forcing him to go to his secondary plan," Waller said. "He's desperate, which makes him very dangerous."
"It makes him dangerous," Harry agreed. "It also makes him very sloppy, and we could take advantage of him. We can catch him."
"Maybe," Waller said. "But it's not going to be that easy, no matter how many ways we slice it."
Harry answered with a nod. He could see the information which was on the screen. Harry scanned every inch of the information. There had been nothing Waller hadn't shared with them.
'That looks familiar, doesn't it?' Sara thought.
'Shado mentioned it in passing,' Harry thought. 'I don't think she quite grasped the significance of it.
"This is what Darhk is after?" Harry asked. "It still leads him to the totem."
"In a general sense, yes," Waller responded. "Our most credible reports also show that it has been created as the method to take you down….yes another one."
Harry just shook his head. There sounded like there were a lot of artifacts around the world which could cause him harm and could put him in danger. He looked towards Sara and nodded.
"Is that everything we need to know?" Harry asked. "We're going to back Nyssa up first, in case Darhk does make that meeting."
"I'll send Hawk, Chameleon, and Arrowette ahead," Waller said. "The two of you should do what you need to do and if you kill Darhk…"
Waller trailed off for a moment. She knew, deep down, that there was nothing she could do to stop the Dragon and his companions from killer Damien Darhk. All she could do was tell them the reasons for not killing Darhk.
"For you leave, there's more information I need to tell you in private," Waller said. "Whether or not you decide to share it….that's up to you."
Waller motioned for Harry to follow her into a more private conference room. Harry stepped behind Waller and joined her. Waller looked around to ensure there was no one on the other side of the office door before turning back around and looking a bit serious.
"Hopefully this isn't another more dangerous artifact that could also kill me," Harry said.
"No, it isn't," Waller said. "There's no delicate way to tell you this, but we found him, we found Slade Wilson."
All of the air seemed to have been let out of the office. Harry didn't say anything at first, he just considered what Waller said for the next couple of minutes. Her statement really threw Harry off for the worst. He and the others figured Slade was there.
"We have him under custody," Waller said. "We think there is a use for someone of Mr. Wilson's talents, but currently, he's being kept under observation until we figure out what we can do with him. Whether or not you wish to tell Rose, it's up to you."
'Of course, she's going to lay that on your lap,' Sara thought, shaking her head. 'What are you going to do? Are you going to tell Rose about it?'
'Later,' Harry thought a split second later. 'We're going to have to worry about the mission, and nothing more, focus on that. We'll tell Rose later, and she'll take it, how she takes it.'
Nyssa al Ghul made her way into the meeting place where Damien Darhk was supposed to meet Anthony Ivo. Nyssa half expected the ambush to happen the moment she stepped into the door. The moment she stepped in, she had been pleasantly surprised, and also very nervous. Nyssa flipped her sword around and looked into the distance.
'So far, so good,' Nyssa thought. 'It would be something if Darhk stood me up. He knows, I just know he knows, but I have to be here, on the off chance he doesn't know.'
The dripping of water forced Nyssa to stand upright. She heard nothing other than a dripping water pipe. Something was there, though. Nyssa made her way through the door and walked down a dark hallway. The Daughter of the Demon spotted way too many blind spots and looked around. She went from the right to the left and tried to keep her head on a swivel. Her heart continued to beat when walking forward.
'Keep going, don't stop,' Nyssa thought to herself.
A hissing sound came from beneath the floorboards. Nyssa took a step off to one side and listened into the floorboards. Something happened, and the Daughter of the Demon jumped back a few feet.
A loud explosion filled the hallway and a loud ringing entered the ears of the Daughter of the Demon. She avoided being sent to the floor and dove on the other side of the window. Nyssa dropped down onto the ground and shook her head.
Slowly, but surely, the ringing subsided. Nyssa shook her head and rose up to her feet. One of the minions rushed forward and plunged the sword towards Nyssa's throat. Nyssa evaded the attack and deflected a second one back at the minion. She staggered back a couple of inches and looked forward. Another one of the goons charged her, and once again, Nyssa avoided the point of the sword.
The Daughter of the Demon edged back into the light. She moved into the center of the room. Three of the minions moved around on either side. Nyssa knew right now, this was Darhk's welcoming committee, and she felt insulted he didn't send any more.
'Never pegged him as a quality over quantity type.'
A large chain swung out towards Nyssa's hand. Nyssa caught the chain and ripped it out of the hand of the man in question. She snapped the chain back with one hand. Swift precision caused the ghost to avoid being smacked around with the chain. He took half of a step back. Nyssa shoved the chain back and dodged the attack once more time.
A dagger came inches away from connecting to the side of her face. Nyssa stopped the dagger and turned it around. She flung the dagger back at one of the ninjas who charged him. An unseen drone dropped down from the ceiling behind her. Nyssa dropped down to her knees and avoided the attack.
Nyssa scissored around the leg of the goon and dropped down onto it. The sound of bones snapping could not be enjoyed by Nyssa. She avoided a rocket launcher which came from one of the goons across the way. Nyssa dropped down onto one knee, blood dripping from her mouth.
The Bazooka wielding drone came on Nyssa and tried to reload the bazooka. Nyssa disarmed him, both literally and figuratively. The bazooka broke apart when he dropped down to the ground and the blade ripped through. Nyssa grabbed onto the goon's arm, wrapped it behind his back and forced him down to the ground with a solid thump.
More of them came through the doorway. Nyssa braced herself for the attack. They attacked in groups of two and three at a time. A rocket flew through the window when Nyssa was in the center of the room. She repelled up and avoided being blown to smithereens. Nyssa dropped down and kicked one of the goons in the ribs when he rushed her.
Another goon ran forward with a pipe extended. Nyssa dodged the attack, snuck behind the guy, and pulled the pipe up. The pipe tucked underneath the chin of the drone and forced him his knees. Nyssa pulled back and dropped the goon down onto the ground.
Seconds passed before Nyssa had to recover. She dodged the attack, with the sword clinging against it. Nyssa pulled up, with blood dripping down her mouth, intermingled with sweat. Nyssa planted a foot into the stomach of the man and returned fire by drilling him down with a sickening knee down across the back of the head. Nyssa grabbed him around the neck and pulled a grenade from his body.
The grenade lobbed over hand and connected with the ground. A resounding explosion followed. Nyssa moved through the shadows and took out the goons out one at a time. Nyssa drilled her forearm into the back of the goon's neck and dropped him down to the ground. She picked the goon up off of the ground and dropped him down onto the ground.
Another figure rushed into the picture and caught one of the goons with a glancing blow to the back of the head. Two wooden batons came out and cracked the goon in the stomach to double him over. The figure withdrew her attacks and jumped into the air.
Sara stood side by side with Nyssa and swept the legs from one of the goons down. Harry approached from the shadows and pulled them into the distance.
One of the goons rushed back and stabbed himself in the chest to drop him down onto the ground rather than face off against the dangerous and dreaded dragon.
Harry waved his hand and prevented the rest of the minions from taking themselves out in a fit of suicidal rage. He dropped the goon down onto the ground and stood over the top of him. The man screamed as Harry ripped all of the teeth which had been treated with cyanide capsules out of his mouth.
"Where's Damien Darhk?" he asked.
He would have been less intimidating if he had been shouting. The terror spread through the body of the goon when he looked up at the Dragon. He wished something would strike him down, he wished death would come to him. He would not have been lucky.
"Darhk is….Damien Darhk is in Hong Kong, I swear," he breathed.
"So, he is going after it," Harry muttered.
"Going after what?" Nyssa asked.
She had a feeling there was a lot for her to be told about. The Daughter of the Demon knew both Sara and Harry would get her caught up to speed. One other thing she knew, is that Damien Darhk disappeared into the darkness, slipping like the treacherous coward he was.
"We might be able to catch him," Harry said. "We better go now, we might have another chance. Especially if ARGUS intends to bring him in alive."
Shado enjoyed the serene sounds of the area around her and took in the smells of the air around her. The family temple, where her father could finally have been put to rest was a very beautiful sight. She smiled, looking very brilliant in the process when she took another step towards the edge of the temple.
Several steps behind Shado stood her sister Mei. The two sisters, twins, moved over, their heads inclined for a brief second. Mei reached over and gripped their hands together. They dropped to their knees, in unison and muttered something underneath their breath.
The raging winds stopped, and Mei slowly opened up her eyes. She rose to her feet first, with Shado following her lead a second later.
"Our father's spirit is finally at peace," Shado said her. "For better or for worse."
"Yes," Mei responded with a smile on her face. "His spirit can truthfully and finally be peaceful after he had been murdered. It's only a shame many will not know about his heroic sacrifice."
"No, it's unfortunate," Shado said. "He was a hero, for better or for worse. And I'm glad to have helped laid him to rest and move his spirit on."
"And you're keeping something from me," Mei responded. "You had assistance of returning from that place. And you mention this Harry a couple of times. Is he a friend or something more? And if he's something more, when will I get the chance to meet him?"
Shado could not have helped, but smile at her sister's curiosity. She leaned over towards Mei and moved closer towards her ear.
"Do you really want to know?" Shado asked.
Mei frowned and moved away from her sister. Both of them stood at opposite sides of the pathway and looked face to face with each other. "Yes, Shado, I really want to know. I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't want to know."
"Harry is the legendary Dragon our grandmother told us stories about," Shado said.
Needless to say, the silence between the two of them could have been cut by a knife. Mei took a moment to look Shado in the eye. While she didn't hold the Dragon in the same exact worship as her sister did, he was still an entity worthy of respect. Her lips curled next to each other.
"This Harry is the Dragon?" Mei asked. "You can't be serious!"
Shado half expected this response and she just responded with a smile when leaning closer towards Mei. Her hand gripped that of her sister's and pulled her closer.
"I'm very serious," Shado responded. "It was him, I saw him…and I….I laid with him."
Mei took a second to let out her breath. Her sister wasn't being serious. It wasn't as if she didn't believe Shado, but there was a lot about the island of Lian Yu which played tricks with the mind. Mei could have been the one taken by this Fyers to be used as leverage against their father.
"You're certain it was him?" Mei asked.
"You really find it hard to believe?" Shado asked. "Perhaps, if you don't believe me, I can convince him to come…."
Shado stopped and her mouth opened. She noticed the temple across from her father's, which just happened to be a monument to the Dragon, had several visitors, and they didn't look too friendly. Mei looked across the way and looked towards the people across the way and the back to Shado. She noticed the look in her sister's eyes.
"They look dangerous," Mei said.
Shado moved over and reached into a sheath to pull out a dagger. Mei grabbed her sister by the arm and held her back from engaging them in battle.
'If only I had my bow and my arrows, I could have gotten them,' Shado mentally told herself about a half of a second later, looking at her.
"You can't fight all of them, I don't care how good you are," Mei said.
"I know," Shado said.
She looked on at these men and wondered what they were after. Something popped into her mind, and she realized exactly what they were after. Shado reached over and pressed in a rune on the watch Harry gave her, just in case they ran into an emergency.
"What are you doing?" Mei asked.
The flash of power coming from the runic symbol of the watch caused Mei to step back, mouth hanging open in surprise. She noticed multiple flashes coming from the watch.
"I'm summoning the Dragon," Shado said. "He'll be arriving in a minute, and you'll see him."
"For your sake, I hope you're not mistaken," Mei said. "And for their sakes….there's something really dangerous in that temple."
Many of the people who entered the temple did not come out alive, or at least with their sanity intact. Shado moved closer towards the temple, holding a dagger in her hand, ready to defend herself. Mei stood for a second at the end of the path, while also going after her.
Liv dropped down and crouched down from one side to the other. She pointed the arrow from one direction to the other direction, trying to figure out the best way to take down these drones. Holly, Nym, Nyssa, and Harry went in one direction, and it left Liv to come in the other direction with Sara.
"Why do I think we're the distraction?" Liv asked.
"Hey, you're doing pretty good out there," Sara said. "Just got to keep your head on, and you won't have any problems….let's see what we're going up against out there."
Sara caught a couple of glimpses of one of the drones. A particular broad shouldered drone muttered something to the other drone. Sara slipped on a pair of eyeglasses and then pressed a button, which amplified all of her senses.
"I don't like this place, it just has a very weird presence," the drone commented to the larger drone.
"With any luck, we're just watching the door," the larger man said in a surprisingly soft-spoken voice. "We won't have any problems."
"Yeah, your definition of not having any problems, and my definition of not having any problems are two different things," one of the drones responded. "Once we get what we need, we can locate the precise location of…"
"Hey, keep it down, there's someone out there."
Sara rolled a grenade out into the middle of the field. The grenade broke open and released a stinging cloud of smoke. Some of the drones staggered back. One of them slipped back a few seconds and dodged one of the figures in the shadow.
The punch had been dodged, with the figure grabbing him by the wrist and flipped him down onto the ground. Sara slammed him down onto the ground and twisted around. An elbow strike to the side of the head dropped one of the goons down onto the ground.
One of them moved towards her with a miniature rocket launcher and started to fire an explosive series of rounds towards his adversary. Sara was not standing there.
A confused look had been followed with an arrow being pieced into the back of the man's neck. Liv dropped down and noticed another one of the goons rushing towards her. Liv snapped up another rapid-fire barrage of arrows to the chest of the goon in question. Three of the arrows hit the armor, but one of the arrows pierced to the shoulder and dropped the man in question down to the ground.
Liv rushed towards the adversary and caught him with a running knee to the side of the head. He dropped down onto the ground and pulled back a few seconds. She watched Sara drop down to the ground.
One of the goons stepped forward. He was a bald gentleman wearing goggles. He waved his hands and several pieces of electrical equipment surrounded him into a bodysuit. He retracted four metal spider legs from the armor.
Liv fired an arrow towards him. The arrow had been caught into a field and absorbed into the suit. Another one of HIVE's meteor mutants had the ability to manipulate metal into anything.
"Duck!" Sara yelled.
No need to tell her twice, Liv drove herself down out of the way. The ground exploded underneath him. Several iron barbs flew towards them.
Sara lifted her hand and much to her surprise, an energy shield surrounded around her. She eyed the runes on the watch she wore, which glowed. Sara stepped back.
"What?" the goon asked.
Liv and Sara stood side by side and jumped behind a wooden gate. Thankfully, he couldn't manipulate that, even though he could manipulate the metal hooking it into the ground.
"Do you think you can distract him, while I get behind him?" Liv asked. "I have something that can take him down, trust me."
Sara just nodded, and she intended to distract him. She borrowed an item from ARGUS research and development which she would have thought would work.
"I will crush you!" the goon yelled.
"Yeah, I've heard that so many times," Sara responded. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?"
Two of the sharper spider legs moved towards Sara. Sara dodged the attack and pushed the button on the device she held in her hand. A small sonic blast erupted. She would need to find a way to amplify it later, but now, she had this HIVE drone staggering back.
"ARGH!" the HIVE drone yelled.
He managed to get it together just enough to rip it apart. The metal and technology manipulating mutant thrashed his arms around and started to breathe in frustration. His ears had been bleeding from the attack.
Liv maintained her perched point and noticed one small dot on the back of the head of the goon. She should have been able to make the shot, even if it was one of the most difficult shots imagining for her to make.
She drew back and fired the arrow at the back of the neck of the goon. The arrow connected with the back of the goon's neck and released a sonic pulse against the back of the neck of the man in question. He howled in agony, his arms and legs thrashing.
The EMP pulse exploding from the arrow dropped the goon down to the ground in a blink of an eye. Sara took a step back and saw several silver nano-bots leave a chest plate the man wore, before burning out into particles.
"Are you okay?" Liv asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," Sara said. "Why don't we head on to meet the others?"
Mei's mouth hung open when she came face to face with the young man in front of her. She didn't want to look at her sister, because of the satisfied smile lingering on Shado's face.
"Yeah, I get that a lot," Harry answered which brought her out of the thought.
"Okay, you're the real deal," Mei said. "You're right…but you understand how I had to see things with my own eyes."
"Believe me, I understand," Harry responded to her. He leaned closer towards her and he looked on with a smile. "How good are you in a fight?"
"I'm not as well trained as Shado is," Mei admitted.
"So, you're a liability," Holly said. Nym gave her one of those long looks. "It's fine, not everyone is cut out for being on the field. My own sister, for example, she's more of the caretaker type, than the actual physical fighting type."
"We'll get you out of here," Nym said. "And we'll be back when we can."
"We're going to go on in ahead," Nyssa said. "Darhk's in there, I know he is."
"They all went inside, there are no guards at the front door," Shado responded a fraction of a second later. She leaned closer towards them. "It's almost like Darhk wanted you all to follow inside. And there's something dangerous….legend is it could be used to empower someone to destroy you."
"Legends sometimes have a fraction of the truth," Harry said. "And other times, they don't, but that's beside the point. We need to get in there, now."
Harry took a second to look around. He sensed the energy coming from the temple and he also sensed a presence. Harry walked down the steps leading to the temple. They were entering the temple and going up against what was the unknown.
Three HIVE goons made their way to the edge. Harry reached behind him and pulled out a quiver full of arrows and a Bo before passing it over to Shado. Shado had a slight smile on her face, and she accepted the gift which had been presented to her.
There was one goon standing on the other side of the gap. The shot was tricky, one in a million shot, but Shado could make it. All she had to do was draw her arrow back and fire it through the gap. The arrow connected to the shoulder of one of the men.
The man dropping to the ground caught the attention of the other goons around the tunnel. One of them turned around, which was a mistake as Nyssa already slipped around the corner. She grabbed the goon around the shoulder and brought him down with a huge crack, dropping him down onto the ground.
Nyssa turned her head a fraction of an inch away to the other side when another one of the goons sent a dagger to the side of her face. She grabbed the goon before he withdrew another dagger. Nyssa grabbed him around the head, hooked him in a half nelson judo choke before pushing him down to the ground. Nyssa stomped him down on the back of the head.
Two more goons had been hidden. Harry blasted them to the side and pinned them against the wall like they were nothing. Harry saw the gates slowly opened.
The medallion reacted to the gates and opened them up. A line of HIVE drones showed towards them. Shado dropped down and fired three rapid fire arrows to catch them off guard. Nyssa caught the ones on the lift with a series of snap kicks, and a huge punch to the side of the head. The Daughter of the Demon flipped her adversary down to the ground and pounded him across the back of the head with repeated, rapid-fire punches.
Nyssa stepped back a fraction of an inch and waited for the man to pull himself up to the ground. The remaining drones stepped back and they parted.
The loud sound of clapping could be heard. A blonde gentleman dressed in black with a look of smug satisfaction on his face stepped down the tunnel.
"The Daughter of Ra's al Ghul," he said. "I'm sure you know who I am. My name is….."
"Yes, you're Damien Darhk, I know," Harry said. "And I can see it, your time is up."
Darhk's eyes locked onto the young man in front of him. A half of a second passed before he locked eyes onto the young man in front of him or to be more particular, it was the medallion of the dragon.
"I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes," Darhk said. "You live once again, but not for much longer I'm afraid."
Harry sensed something protecting Darhk, and also an unsettling presence. He waited for Darhk to make the first move, or to find an opening, whatever came first.
"And Nyssa…do you mind if I call you, Nyssa?" Darhk asked. "You've actually come face to face, even if it won't be for long…..but perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. After all, you've come closer to your father than catching me. And you're here in front of me."
Darhk took a half of a step closer. Harry, Shado, and Nyssa waited. None of those HIVE agents were going to attack without any orders.
"Your father never appreciated you," Darhk said. "I have a spot for you, in HIVE. Your abilities will be appreciated."
"How about we just skip to the part where I kill you?"
Nyssa withdrew her blade as fast as an eye blinked and almost stabbed the stomach of Darhk. The blade hit something, a wall.
"Mystical talisman, never walk into the dragon's lair without one," Darhk said.
'Just wait until I find the way to break the enchantment,' Harry thought.
"Well, I know when to take a hint," Darhk said. "I have business….play nicely, gentlemen, ladies."
Several more drones popped in front of Nyssa, Harry, and Shado. A couple of them had special abilities, which would make this a problem for all for the trio.
Darhk got away. Harry closed his eyes and tried to teleport around them, but a large crack caught him in the sternum and knocked the wind out of him.
'Of course,' Harry thought.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Drained.
The largest of the group of ghosts made a motion to go towards Harry. Harry dodged the dagger before it impacted into his ribs. He grabbed an arm hard and blasted the goon up into the air. The goon dropped down onto the air and moved his way towards Harry one more time.
"You're going to have to do better than that," Harry said.
"They will try," Nyssa said. She swiped the dagger to one side and plunged it into the ribs of one of the goons to drop them down. "Whether or not they will actually succeed, it's another thing entirely."
One of the goons slipped on a pair of brass knuckles and moved to nail Nyssa in the side of the head. Nyssa dodged the attack and then jumped up. She nailed him with a punch to the side of the head. Another punch clipped him in the jaw. Nyssa moved behind the man, grabbed the gun from the wrist holster, and discharged it. Two more of the goons had been clipped thanks to Nyssa's efforts.
Shado crouched down to evade a roundhouse right before it nailed her in the side of the head. She bounced back off of the walls and dropped down to the ground. Nyssa drew back her bow and fired an arrow into the wrist of the goon. The goon dropped his weapon.
Harry super-charged the weapon before anyone could pick it up. Certain enough, the goon took the bait and grabbed the gun. The energy blast discharged him and launched him high into the air. Harry came back to finish off the job and drill him with a series of jabs to the chest. The goon dropped down to the ground.
A blast from the energy grenade caused dust to surround the area around Harry. Harry dropped down to the ground to wipe the mist away from his eyes. Another one of the energy grenades had been discharged.
Shado reacted a split second before Harry had a chance to. The arrow pierced one of the grenades and released a backfire to take down two of the goons.
"They multiply, like rabbits," Shado said.
"We're going to have to put them down faster," Nyssa said.
Nyssa swept herself into the air and dropped down onto the back of the head of one of the goons. She flipped over the top of the goon's head and then dropped behind him. She slammed a right hook punch into the spine of the goon and dropped him down. Nyssa grabbed him around the head and did a forward rolling flip to bring her adversary down to the ground with a solid smack.
The Daughter of Ra's al Ghul stepped back, her eyes narrowed, and ready to go. The next heavy rushed towards her. Nyssa blocked the hand and deflected the attack. A knee driven to the chin brought him down. Nyssa came around.
"Everyone, stand back!"
Holly aimed a miniature rocket launcher down and managed to blow up just enough of the floor to bring several of the goons deep beneath the temple. One look down the hole showed there was a very long way down and there was a huge splat from the goon who went down.
"You always have to do this excessively, don't you?" Nym asked.
Nym flicked her wrist when one of the goons hung on. She wrapped cords around the ghost and held him into place. One carefully placed spell ripped all of the teeth out of the mouth of the HIVE subordinate, so he didn't have any ideas. He moved back and almost threw himself down the hole.
"Not so fast," she responded.
"You think I'm excessive?" Holly asked. "I didn't blow up half of the temple this time, you know."
Nym turned her attention towards Holly and responded with a smile on her face. "Baby steps, you're still a bit….."
Holly nailed one of the goons in the side of the head who tried to attack her from behind. She grabbed the goon around the back of the head and slammed him face first into the ground. His mouth and nose cracked off of the ground with a sickening impact.
"We're not getting any closer to Darhk," Nyssa said.
"Clear the path, I'm going after him," Harry said.
Clearing the path was easier said than done. Harry stepped back and he waved his hand. The ground underneath the goons shifted and knocked them off guard. This miniature Earthquake vibration allowed Nym, Nyssa, and Holly to go in and take out the goons one at a time.
Shado fired an arrow into the knee of one of the larger goons to drop him down to the ground. Agony ripped through the goon when he had been dropped down onto the ground. Nyssa decided to put him down further with a well-placed strike to the side of the head.
"I'll be right behind you, go," Nyssa said.
It was an unspoken agreement that Harry would subdue Darhk, and it would be Nyssa who would take him down. One of the larger drones tried to block Harry. His armor glowed in the dim tunnel and gave him a bit more coverage. Harry zeroed in on the weakest spot in the armor. He charged towards the goon.
Two glowing daggers retracted out of the armor. Harry retracted two more glowing daggers and the two charged each other. Harry swung the daggers into those the drone held. Both Harry and the drone engage went shot for shot until Harry got the upper hand.
A crack echoed and the armor broke apart. The goon tried to throw himself forward. The Dragon caught him and slammed a punch into the throat. Harry dropped down and slammed the man face first onto the ground.
'Good, the path is finally opened.'
Harry could tell there was some unsettling presence down the temple. Darhk forced the doors open, somehow. He shouldn't have gotten this far into the temple. Harry mentally racked his brain for some kind of plausible explanation to how Darhk managed to get so far.
'It has to do with that talisman, something to do with it anyway,' Harry thought.
No question about it, getting close to the talisman had been the number one priority for Harry. Nothing else mattered to him, right now at the very least. His eyes followed down the path and he took the right side.
The swimming of deadly magical energy around him prodded Harry even closer. He could sense something, magic of the darkest kind. It only made him get even closer.
The Dragon showing up threw Darhk's plans off very slightly. He would need something to tip the odds in his favor, and he knew what he was looking for. He took a half of a step down the tunnel and paused for a brief second before pulling back.
"Come in, and stick close," Darhk told the men when they made down the tunnel.
The men followed Damien Darhk down the tunnel. They all pledged their loyalty to HIVE as if they had any choice. They had been given a second chance of life. It was an obsessive loyalty.
"According to my source, we're getting close, just one more tunnel."
Darhk paused to look around. Down each side of the temple, several statues lined up on both sides, all the way down in a line. Darhk's eyes traveled down and looked at them. He turned towards his men.
"Keep your eyes forward. Don't do anything to agitate them in the slightest, or you'll agitate me."
Each HIVE member stepped down the tunnel and moved gingerly down the tunnel. Six men on both sides all the way down the row. Darhk stepped behind them and pulled out a glowing red gem. He slid it into the slot of the general statue in the middle of the room.
"Forward."
They all moved forward with another word. The end of the tunnel glowed with light. Darhk stepped forward and noticed red fluid dripping into a fountain in the center.
"Knife."
One of the men handed Darhk the knife. Darhk grabbed the hand of the man in question and pulled him so he stood over the fountain. The cold steel came inches away from slicing into the wrist of the man in question.
"Nice of you to volunteer."
The knife stab barely registered from Darhk's victim. Blood splashed down into the fountain and glowed. A tribute had been registered. Several slimy tentacles lifted out of the fountain and wrapped around the man who had his blood spilled into the temple.
The man inclined his head, resigned to his fate. He had been dragged deep underneath the waters. Two of the men took half of a step back. Darhk just leaned down and watched the man disappear. Rocks shifted over the top of the fountain, sealing it up from the rest of the world.
"Follow me again."
They all followed Darhk down the jagged rocks which lead to an opening in the wall. Two of them followed him to the top. The others followed gingerly. The rocks groaned underneath them. They could still see the blood stained fountain underneath.
Had they not trained all fear out of themselves, they would be very terrified by now. One of them stepped forward towards Darhk.
"Who would like to give me a hand?"
One of the men held the dagger out and put it into Darhk's hand. Darhk just shifted into a smile.
"While I commend your loyalty, that's not the kind of hand I need, at least not yet. I may need it in the future, but I offer it to you. I want you to life the artifact out of the cave, and we'll see what happens."
One bow and Darhk's faithful minion stepped forward, getting closer to the edge of the cave. Something flashed in front of his face when Darhk approached the edge. He put his fingertips on the artifact.
"Go ahead, don't be shy, lift it," Darhk told him.
The goon's fingers wrapped around the artifact, and it lifted up off of the ground. Several long minutes passed while the goon held the artifact between his fingers. Darhk leaned towards the man in question and waited for something to happen.
"Sir, there's…..ARGH!"
Dilating pupils indicated something happened to the man in question. His skins rotted while he still breathed, and his bones crumbled underneath him. Eventually, his internal organs shut down one at a time, some of them being shredded, even though he was dead.
Darhk motioned for his men to step back from him. Those eyes flashed, those demented pupils looked up at Darhk. Darhk turned to his trio of goons and all of them backed off.
"Well, that's not the exact result I expected, but close enough for it to count," Darhk said. "Give me a moment, gentlemen, I'm going to need to figure out where I could go from here."
The artifact rested once again down on the pedestal. Something inside of the temple had been fed, yet another sacrifice. Darhk was willing to sacrifice his men to an extent to achieve his goals.
'Can't get carried away,'
Darhk's eyebrow raised in surprise and he turned to the artifact. His longevity might have been one thing, but Darhk was not going to willingly lay a single finger on this artifact.
"Do you think there's any way you can break the enchantment?" Darhk asked. "I must follow the path…what does that mean?"
None of the goons said anything. A couple of them had stray thoughts of how Darhk had lost his mind if he was talking to that glowing amulet thing hanging around his neck. None of them were willing to say a word about it, though. They all prepared themselves to be the next sacrifice.
"Father, give me a sign!" Darhk yelled out loud, almost mockingly.
Darhk dipped his head and nodded. The HIVE leader knew precisely what he would have to do to pick up the artifact from this temple, the means, which he could destroy the Dragon.
The back entrance remained unguarded with Sara and Liv slipping inside. The two were surprised by the lack of resistance they encountered when heading around and also a little bit unnerved. A loud screaming echoed from a cave all the way up to the side.
"Why do I have a feeling we've stepped into it now?" Liv asked.
"We have."
Sara wasn't about to activate the runic symbol on her watch, but given she was sharing thought space with Harry, she didn't think she had to.
'Harry?' Sara asked.
'Yes, I'm on my way,' Harry thought to her. 'We're running into a little snag on our way here. Darhk's drones were giving ups more trouble. You and Liv didn't run into any trouble, did you?'
'Nothing we couldn't handle,' Sara thought. 'I'll let you know the moment I need help if I need help.'
Sara stopped short of making her way into the tunnel. A not so subtle chanting echoed in the back of her head a few seconds later. There was something, some kind of presence, deep beneath the temple. Sara moved closer towards the entrance of the tunnel.
"I don't like this."
Sara just responded with a nod and approached the edge of the temple walls. She slipped closer in and listened to something. It was almost like there were several hearts beating in unison deep beneath the chances. Sara took a half of a step back and breathed out. That was what she was hearing for sure, there were hearts, beating together in some kind of sadistic unison with each other.
'Way too close,' Sara thought to herself.
Liv withdrew her arrow from her back and pointed. She noticed the man standing on the top of the jagged rocks who looked over at all of them. She noticed him, even though he did not notice her just yet. Liv assessed her surroundings the best she could.
One wrong misstep in the cave would bring everything down upon her head, and that was the last thing Liv wanted right about now. Her head throbbed and she slipped deeper inside of the temple. The sound of running water caused her to pause.
"Don't move unless absolutely necessary."
Darhk turned his back towards her and dropped down his knees. He looked about ready to worship something, although what, Liv didn't really know. Her fingers tightened around the bow which hung down and then she lifted it up. There was a thought going through her mind.
'I can make the shot,' Liv thought.
'I'll be there in a minute,' Harry thought to Sara. 'Hang on.'
Sara turned and noticed Liv drawing back her bow and aiming the arrow towards the back of Darhk's neck. The arrow shot forward and connected to the back of Damien Darhk's neck before Sara could have a chance to stop it.
The arrow connecting to the back of the head of Damien Darhk caused blood to spill from the wound in his chest. Something started to rumble deep from underneath the rocks. Two henchmen scrambled and something stuck through the gap between the rocks. Red liquid bubbled, agitated by the blood Darhk spilled into the temple.
Liv turned around just in time to see the rocks smash through. A tentacle rose up and several glowing barbs pointed towards Liv at the temple. Sara dove in front of Liv before the barbs ripped into her. She took the wooden staff and smacked it into the tentacles which dropped down onto the ground.
The archer turned around and fired an arrow towards another one of the slimy tentacles which came out from underneath the ground.
Damien Darhk rolled over onto the ground. He received an arrow which punctured an artery. He had to admit, it hurt, and he was very curious to how she managed to find one of the few blind spots. Darhk crawled over where one of his men slumped over the ground. He had been severely wounded, but there was enough life left in him.
"I'll take this, thank you."
Darhk grabbed the hand of the man who slumped over and dragged energy through the man in question. Energy surrounded the man's body and pulled it deep inside of Darhk. The man dropped to the ground, nothing other than a dried and decayed husk.
Liv rushed over. Darhk healed himself. She fired a second arrow at him while he recovered from the first. Darhk turned around and blocked the arrow before impaling into him.
"Mind of matter," Darhk said. "I don't mind if none of this matters."
Darhk propelled the arrow back at Liv. She fell back and the arrow just sailed over the top of the head. Darhk stepped back and avoided another one of the tentacles which slammed through the ground underneath him. Darhk picked up a downed arrow and slammed it through the slimy appendage, and pushed it back down to the ground.
Turning around, Darhk noticed several of the statues moved in. A smile crossed his face when he moved back to allow his new minions to move forward. Darhk directed the army towards him.
"Take them out and protect this temple," Darhk ordered them.
Liv aimed the arrow towards the floor and fired. The arrow struck through the floor and agitated whatever the creature was underneath the ground. There were way too many slimy tentacles poking out and trying to ensnare her for Liv's liking.
A flash of light appeared in front of him. Harry withdrew a blade from his sheath and drove it down through the floor onto the temple's guardian. Energy surrounded Harry's hand and put down the creature.
Harry turned around with the sword aimed at the large monster who cracked out to the floor. One central eye had been located in the central, purple, squishy part of the monster. Harry didn't blink, he just motioned for the guardian of the temple to come after him.
The energy discharge released from the sword and caused the guardian of the temple to deflate before retreating back underneath around. Harry pulled back from the guardian.
"Go with the others, I have this handled."
Sara picked up another one of the little toys she picked up from ARGUS and pushed a button. The sonic blast backed the statues off and allowed Liv to release an arrow against the wall. One of the shelves broke out and sent rocks onto the statues crushing them underneath.
"Right, left, around, up, and right," Sara muttered. "Okay, got it."
"How do you know?" Liv asked.
"Harry put the instructions in my head," Sara said. "It's a long story."
"Yeah, figured about as much," Liv said. "So, are you ready to go?"
More statues lined up on either side of the tunnel. Sara drew in a frustrated breath and prepared to fight her way through the tunnel. Nyssa and the others could be seen at the other end of the hallway. Sara and Liv would have to meet them halfway.
Everything shut down around the mind of Damien Darhk, other than a single-minded obsession with getting the artifact which remained in the cave.
'Wait for the right moment,' Darhk thought.
Darhk's hand closed together and opened it up. The artifact jostled off to one side.
"It's over, Darhk."
Darhk turned around and the blade came inches away from penetrating the protection around him. Harry pushed his way through the protection. Darhk's eyes shifted over when looking down at the dangerous young man. Darhk's gaze continued to burn with pure hatred when locked onto Harry.
"You just won't take a hint will you," Darhk said.
"You have a problem, don't you?" Harry asked. "You either drop the protection or face me, or you put yourself in a position to be brought down harder, without a chance to defend yourself."
For a brief second, Darhk reacted to the young man in front of him. He eyed the sword hanging from him, the blade which was to either bring an end to the Dragon or empower him further. Darhk kept his gaze locked onto the edge of the blade and his frown deepened even more.
"I wondered what happened to it," Darhk said. "Now, I know."
Darhk's gaze locked onto the blade. He had been between a rock and a hard place. For a second, he reached for the talisman in an attempt to drop the protection.
'Brother Darhk, he is trying to bait you,' the echo of Deacon Blackfire continued. 'For you to become something more than you are, you cannot allow the dragon to get inside of your head.'
The rocks underneath them shuffled. The Dragon's gazed locked onto Darhk with the other side, his lips curling into a devious smile when going eye to eye with Darhk. "We're running out of time, aren't we?"
"We'll see."
Darhk jumped back and the rocks shifted underneath him. The red liquids bubbled deep underneath them. Several slimy hands made their way from underneath the thick red waters from underneath the fountain.
"That's interesting," Darhk remarked in a rather cold tone of voice. "You're not strong enough to defeat me, no matter how much you try."
"We'll see," Harry responded. "Ready to drop the protection and face me? Perhaps you're not powerful enough to take me down. Perhaps you'd rather be the puppet of someone else?"
Darhk dropped down the protection, despite an echoing warning in his head not to. His sword came out in a flash of light and seconds later, Darhk charged the powerful sorcerer. The blade shot out and caught Darhk, clanging sword to sword with him. Both Harry and Darhk jockeyed for position.
The guardian underneath stirred. Harry was going to have to try and take him down. Harry stepped back and charged Darhk once again. He lifted up the talisman and the sword smashed against the invisible wall created. Harry almost pushed his way to through the blade.
'That's it, just increase your protection,' Harry thought to himself. 'I'll have you right where I want you, Darhk.'
Darhk watched the artifact shoot out of the cave and land on the ground. Several shadowed figures rose up from the temple. Ghosts, literally ghosts, of those who had sacrificed themselves to gain access to the treasure in the temple, with the walls around them crumbling him.
"You really want that token, Darhk?" Harry asked. "Come after it."
"I'm going to take you down, and crush you, Dragon!" Darhk yelled.
He dropped the protection shield one more time and tried, in one desperate maneuver, to knock the artifact into the grasp of the Dragon. The emerald-eyed man caught it in his hand and smiled. The artifact flashed a moment later. Harry held it between his fingers casually.
"You should be dust," Darhk said.
The artifact came back at Darhk in a flash of an eye. He blocked the artifact from impaling into his body with the talisman. Oxygen surrounding Darhk became less plentiful. His breathing increased as he tried to struggle.
"What….."
The temple around them started to crumble. A large beam fell from the ceiling and separated Harry from Damien Darhk. Dust flew around the area of the temple around them, as Harry tried to protect his vision. He had been blocked from the majority of the debris.
Only three words entered Harry's mind when he ripped his way through the area. He needed to get to Damien Darhk.
Darhk just barely broke the protection of the Talisman. Red waters splashed out of the temple and started to ooze underneath the ground. A scream brought Darhk's attention to one of the few drones which had not been killed. The artifact released a wave of energy which caused the energy to be drained from the man's body.
"Not going to die, not now!"
An exit opened up for Darhk when he continued to go forward. The man's head thumped when going further.
Harry avoided the dust particles from blocking his vision. He had to find a way out of there and soon. A large chunk of the wall of the temple dropped down onto the ground. It was another tablet and depicted a very familiar image from Harry on it.
The Basilisk shined out on the tablet and hissed. Harry scooped up the tablet and pushed it into his bag.
'Sara, please tell me you can hear this, and you're out of there,' Harry thought.
'I won't like I can hear you, but we're not out of here,' Sara thought.
The blood felt like it drained from Harry's body. He could see two choices laid out in front of him. The first choice was to grab the girls and get them out of here. The second choice was to get Darhk and leave the girls to their own devices. Harry mentally weighed all of the options and made a decision.
No matter how dangerous Darhk was, the lives of innocents were a top priority in Harry's mind. He flickered away into the tunnel. Most of the girls were almost through the nearest exit. Harry blasted the doors open and sunlight entered the temple.
One of the statues still lingered and were seconds away from smashing in Nym's head with a huge wrecking ball. Nym shielded her head and took a very prominent deep breath in response.
Harry blasted the statue away. It crumbled into dust when going against the wall. Harry cupped Nym's hand and grabbed her. The flash of light surrounded both of them and they just cleared the temple seconds before it would have buried them all.
No sign of anyone in HIVE in the wreckage, for what that was worth.
Harry, along with some help from ARGUS, cleared out the wreckage of the temple. Several mummified corpses had been extracted from the temple, although whether or not one of them was Darhk's, Harry didn't know. The artifact Darhk was after had been restricted.
The guardian of the temple vanished, and Harry would know, because he searched for him, her, or it for several hours, but there was nothing.
Now, Harry had been presented with another mysterious. The tablet detailing the king of all serpents, the Basilisk, lingered in front of him. Harry would have to guess the tablet lead him to the second medallion, finally some headway.
'By all indications, the medallion is somewhere in South America,' Harry thought.
'It does make a lot of sense,' Nyssa responded a second later. 'There's a tribe there, who worship snakes there.'
'Well, I speak their language,' Harry thought.
Literally, given the gift, Harry had of speaking Parseltongue. Dumbledore believed it was through the curse scar Harry got that ability, but after retaining it after the Horcrux left, Harry was not so sure. Then again, Dumbledore couldn't be right all of the time.
"We're busy looking through the corpses," Waller told him from the doorway. "With any luck, one of them is Darhk, but I would not advise holding my breath."
Harry wasn't about to hold his breath. He continued to look at the tablet.
"The artifact is secured," Harry said. "I would highly advise not trying to open the vault. There will be consequences if someone other than myself opens the vault, never mind handles the artifact."
"The state of the HIVE operatives, these ghosts, or rather drones," Waller said. She trailed off and continued. "Their state tells me enough about how it would be foolish to mess with such a dangerous artifact."
"Wise," Harry said. "So, how is Nymphadora?"
"Agent Tonks will survive," Waller said. "Despite her flaws, she is durable. She's a good agent, but she won't be a great agent until she learns how to follow orders a bit better."
"The universe isn't ordered," Harry said. "The sooner people figure that out, the better off they're going to be."
Waller just responded with a nod. She didn't know what to say in response. He made a lot of sense, but unfortunately, to keep a government organization in order, order was necessary.
"If Darhk is found among, them, you'll know."
'I'd like him to be,' Nyssa thought. 'The cockroach trampled away underneath the wreckage again, to live to fight us another day.'
'He wasn't in the best state,' Harry thought.
'The only good state for Damien Darhk is dead,' Nyssa thought.
Harry thought it was fair enough. They would have to search for the artifact sooner or later. While HIVE was busy recovering from their humiliating defeat, Harry needed to strike when the iron was hot, and the iron was not any hotter than now.
'Serpent medallion, you're next in line,' Harry thought. 'Better go check up on her.'
'I'm sure she'll appreciate the visit,' Sara commented.
Harry walked down the hallway to the area to the room where Nym currently was resting. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
"It's open."
Harry entered the room and came across Nym dressed in nothing but a long night shirt which stretched down past her knees.
"Hey," Nym commented. "Sorry, sorry, you pulled me out of the fire. Guess I need to learn to watch my step. Waller's always up my ass about that, and not in a good way either."
Harry took a moment to motion for Nym to stand. She moved to her feet without any response. Currently, her hair was dark and silky, stretching down past her shoulders. She had soft facial features, angled cheekbones, and a soft feminine jaw, along with a cute nose and rosy, plump lips. Her body filled out the nice shirt with a curvy figure, large supple breasts, which were firm, and wide hips. Her legs stretched on for miles.
The shape-shifter looked back at Harry. Those green eyes checked her out.
"So, do you like something that you see, great one?" she teased him.
"Maybe I do, my sweet Nymph."
She blushed at his words. Nym never thought she would get this chance. A cocky little smile spread over her face.
"You know, you saved my ass," Nym said. "That means I'm in your debt….and my mother always taught me to never let your debts be left unpaid."
"She's a wise woman."
Harry leaned in and Nym decided to take the plunge. She caught Harry with a sexually aggressive kiss. Her tongue sought entry into the powerful sorcerer's mouth, and her fingernails clutched Harry's jaw. Harry moved his hand down and slid one of them down behind her night shirt to touch Nym's lower back.
It was a spot which caused Nym to almost come undone. Harry moved her back and released her lips. Harry moved in one more time to kiss her. He nibbled her lips, jaw, and neck while feeling up her abundant curves around her body. Nym sunk into his hands which touched him.
"Pay up, Nym."
It didn't take much for Nym to drop to her knees and worship her savior.
Also, it didn't take too long for Nym to fish Harry's cock out of his pants. His pants went down, along with his boxer shorts. Nym came face to face with a throbbing hard cock, which wasn't even completely hard on second glance. The beautiful agent's eyes widened and drool started to come down to her lips.
"Well, are you going to touch it, or are you just going to drool?"
Nym leaned in to grope the underside of Harry's cock and tug on it. The manhood stretched just enough to meet Nym's perfect lips. She used her abilities to make the perfect lips for cock sucking and she plunged in, tightening the vacuum tight seal around Harry's throbbing hard erection.
"Oh, fuck, that's it, right there!" Harry groaned.
The nice cock sucking brought Harry's thick rod straight into Nym's mouth. Her throat manipulated him like a pussy. Harry grabbed onto the side of the sexy shapeshifter'ss face. He imagined fucking Nym's face before, but now, it was actually happening and her mouth felt wonderful.
"Always knew you had such a fucking good mouth Nymmy."
Nym grabbed his balls and squeezed them to test the waters for the load of cum which was in them later. Her tongue caressed the underside of his manhood when she kept working her way down the pole. She could not believe the taste she received of this big, thick, cock.
Two hands gripped the back of Nym's head and forcefully drove his rod deep into her mouth. She sucked him so hard, her jaw began to ache. It was all a part of the mission in satisfying this young man, no this god before her. Nym drew her lips tighter around his iron pole.
"Stop."
Nym stopped and wondered why he told her to. Harry motioned her to her feet, and he grabbed her nightshirt before tearing it off. Harry grabbed her ample chest and squeezed it which caused moans to come for her.
"I bet you can make these tits nice and round," Harry told her.
"Yeah, how big do you want them?" Nym asked.
"As big as you can handle without following over."
Nym closed her eyes and allowed her tits to balloon out hard. She had two large boulder sized breasts on her chest. They were still as firm and perky, despite their obscene size thanks to the magic of magic. Harry grabbed her tits and gave them a very hearty squeeze.
"Suck my tits, please," Nym begged him.
Harry obliged her and wrapped his lips around her nipple. Nym made her nipples so sensitive with her powers, a small amount of milk leaked out. Her mother told her it could happen occasionally with her abilities.
The real question was why was she getting so wet from Harry sucking on her lactating nipples? Her god wrapped his lips tighter around her breast.
"Suck my big boobs!" Nym moaned.
Harry buried his face between Nym's super-sized pillows and motorboated the shit out of the witch. She loved it, moaning hungrily. Those fingers ran over her body. She could feel Harry's hard cock slapping her against the thighs when he indulged her and himself.
She fell back onto the bed, legs spread. Her pussy spread for Harry, dripping with juices. Harry looked down at Nym, a wicked smile crossing his face.
"I believe this belongs to me."
Harry reached out to cup her pussy and squeeze it. His fingers danced over the scorching slit.
"You were a naughty girl, watching me fuck my companions a few day ago," Harry said. "Did you dream about me bending you over the wall and fucking your slutty pussy with my enormous cock? Did you, Nym?"
His thick and talented finger stretched Nym's molten core out. She thought she would die of so much pleasure. Harry pushed his finger deep inside of her and withdrew it. He pulled it out of her.
"I want you to taste how much of a slut you're being," Harry told her. "I bet it would drive you nuts, wouldn't it? To taste your cum?"
Harry forced his finger into Nym's mouth and made her suck the juices off. The powerful sorcerer reached around with his free hand and grabbed an ample hand full of Nym's rear. Nym closed her eyes and enjoyed Harry's tightening grip around her was.
'Damn, I'm going to die if I don't get his cock soon.'
"Is this what you want, Nym?"
Harry slapped his cock against her clit and made Nym's hips jump off of the bed. She breathed heavily at the tease of his cock dancing against her entrance. It was so close to entering her body and stretching her out. It was lengthy and thick, everything Nym dreamed his cock to be and much more. He took his cock head and ground against her entrance. Nym thrashed underneath him like a madwoman in heat.
"I bet I can get you off just by my cock head, can't I?"
Nym whined when feeling his thick cock head brushing against her wet walls. She was pretty much certain he could get her off. His hard cock head ground against her. Nym tried to lift her hips up, but once again Harry forced them down and nearly pulled away from her. The frustrated whine coming from Nym's tone.
"You want me to fuck that pussy, don't you?"
Nym nodded in response. "Please, fuck my pussy. Drill your huge cock into my pussy, and make me feel you. Put as much cum as you want into my womb. I'll make my pussy super tight and super velvety for you, whatever you want, baby. I'll be your personal fuck toy!"
Having a shape-shifter as a personal fuck toy certainly had a few benefits Harry could think about presently. His hardening cock agreed with the feeling. He lightly edged himself to the edge of Nym's walls. Her slit pushed up in an attempt to take more of Harry's rock hard cock inside of her body. Harry touched her hips lightly and slowly pushed himself between her thighs.
"I'll fuck you all night long," Harry growled in her ear. "Like it or not, you're mine, Nymmy. You're my personal slut now."
Nym wasn't going to argue, she liked it.
"I've been a bad girl," Nym said. "A bad girl who needs a big cock inside of her. Please, Master, punish your kinky little slut!"
Her opening dripped warm for Harry. Harry pressed his cock against her entrance and then, without any further adieu, he slid inside of her. Her warm pussy walls stretched out as far as possible and snapped back around Harry, clamping down on his iron rod.
"Oh, fuck yes, this is amazing," Harry groaned. "Your pussy is nice and ready for me. Such a good pet…such a good fuck puppet."
That thick cock stretched Nym every single which way possible, with Harry rising almost out of her and dropping all the way back down into her. His balls slapped against Nym's warm thighs when Harry rose up and dropped back down. Every time Harry dropped himself down into Nym, she could feel something amazing spreading through her loins. She reached up and grabbed Harry's back to guide him down into her molten depths.
"Harry, Harry, Harry!"
Nym chanted the given name of her master's form. Those big balls stored a lot of cum.
"That all going to be for me?" she asked.
"If you've earned it," Harry informed her. "I want you to cum for me. Harder than you've ever cum before. You wouldn't want to let me down, would you, my precious Nymph?"
The sexy shapeshifter rose up and her large breasts bounced when she dropped down onto the bed. Harry grabbed a hold on her jugs and slowly rocked his hard cock inside of her body. Harry stretched her completely out and then dropped down into her. His thick balls packed a huge punch when driving their entire weight down into Nym's canal.
She came, came harder, especially when he played with her sensitive, large nipples. That got Nym's motor revved up and ready to unload. Harry brought himself down, his muscular firm body, pressing against her curvy one. He drove deep inside of her.
More orgasms came, and each one built upon the last one.
"Escalation, that's the name of the game," Harry whispered. "I can rule your body with the anticipation. You know that each one is more powerful than the last. You anticipate them, and you wonder if your body can sustain."
"Oh, I can go a long time," Nym said.
"Dangerous words, Nym."
Harry nibbled her earlobe when coming down and then shifted over. His cock still worked into her core and worked some amazing magic. Those thick balls came down onto Nym's soft thighs and kept stretching her out. She responded by pushing all the way up and taking Harry as far into her as possible.
Fire swam through the body of the shapeshifter and she knew the only way which the fire could be put out, was the large cock and bloated balls of the divine entity driving his cock inside of her body. Nym's fingernails raked down Harry's shoulder and encouraged him.
Adrenaline ruled her body and her mind. She knew sooner or later, things would come to a climax. Nym knew she would black out when finished, but damn, she was going to milk this, along with his cock, for every single bit it was worth. Her body rose up off of the bed and took more of Harry inside of her.
"Getting close," Harry informed her. "Still with me?"
Nym just moaned in response. She lost track of how many orgasms she experience. Harry brought his thick cock into her depths one more time and caught another sensitive spot on her. She bucked up for Harry's cock.
"Finish me," Nym begged him.
"Well, maybe later," Harry said.
Harry picked up his pace and drove his hard cock deeper inside of the depths of the beautiful woman underneath him. Nym brought her hips up to make sure Harry sank fully inside of her. The abundance of curves on her body made it exciting. Harry's groin muscles tightened and he could feel it.
He worked his way into her, stretching out this coupling for a very long time. Nym squeezed, caressed, and moaned, to ensure he knew she was still with him.
"One more time."
The band inside Nym snapped and released her orgasm heavily. Her hips pushed rapidly and buried more of Harry inside of her. Her pussy muscles clamped him.
Harry had no recourse other than to drive deep inside of Nym and release his cum from his balls. Those bloated testicles expanded and contracted, releasing an abundance of cum.
Several more orgasms greeted Nym before she blacked out from the constant rapid-fire barrage. Harry finished releasing his thick cum inside of her, filling her up with his seed.
Harry pulled away from her. It had been sunset when he came in here, and now it appeared the sun had just started to arise.
"Sweet dreams, Nym."
Harry pulled away, leaving Nym on the bed, absently mindedly rubbing her cum stained pussy, with a shit eating grin on her face.
