Genesis: The Master and Her Slave

I heard the monster scream one last time before it fell back in the hole straight to hell from which it came.

Amazing, simply, and utterly amazing! Doctor Vladimir Slavik thought as he watched the whole action on the security screen. It started out with Thana waiting for the two dykes to walk right into her trap. They talked for a while which Vladimir had no idea what they were saying and then Thana and the mystery woman went at it with their swords. Vladimir knew not to cross Thana, she was a terrific swordswoman. Especially the Amazon she was taking on. Vladimir didn't know who was going to turn out victorious since both women were equally matched.

Then that's when things took a strange turn. Good for him, worse for them. The two warrior women stopped fighting and were shaking as if stunned. Even the security camera was scrabbling erratically because of the quake. Then the floor gave way and out popped that marvelous creature. Vladimir took every angle of the beast from every security camera just to see everything about the creature. It had four yellow eyes, it looked like a combination of a bat, a rat, and some sort of insect by the size of its caterpillar shaped sac. And just to top it all off, the thing sprouted out four batwings that gave it the strength and ability to lift itself off the ground and fly!

What made it so astonishing was that Vladimir didn't remember ever creating such a beautiful creature! How was it created, where did it come from, where has it been hiding? All these questions that needed to be answered.

And the best part is that the beast finally killed that bitch, Thana. The stupid fool must have been so much involved with the two subjects that she was not thinking sensibly and was killed from his, he suppose, creation. Whatever it was, it did him a big favor.

Mistress Selene and I ran up to the fallen Thana and knelt down beside her. Selene picked her up from the head and rested her painful body on her lap.

"Damn girl," Thana spoke blood spilling out of her mouth, "I didn't know you go that hard."

Mistress Selene raised her wrist to her mouth but Thana reached up and grabbed it first stopping her from nicking herself.

"No," Thana demanded.

"Thana you need to drink or you will die," Mistress Selene warned.

Thana shook her head. "No, I'm too damage for you to heal me." Thana coughed hard which means she almost choked on her own blood, "besides, I'm dead anyway."

"Please don't say that," I begged tears forming in my eyes, "we can still help you."

Thana smiled with blood sliding down her lips. "That's sweet of you hun, but I'm afraid my time is up." She turned back to Mistress Selene. "Selene, I don't have much time left. I'm not the one who created, G. It was Vladimir Slavik."

"Who?" Mistress Selene asked.

"He's a mad scientist who created the drug and all the monsters you came across on your way here. Russian fuck... must've set that thing loose on purpose. He probably figured out... I was going to betray him." Thana coughed again but this time it was getting worse. It was almost time. "Selene, do something for me will ya?"

"Anything," Mistress Selene said.

"Save the rest of the women and get them the fuck out of here. Slavik...his plans are different from mine, more vile." Thana turned to me and smiled. "And take care of her. She is very important; you do not want to lose her to Slavik. Trust me." She reached into her pocket and took out a white card. "After you get the women out use this." She handed Mistress Selene the card. "You will know what to do with this." Thana coughed up more blood and gave us a strong grin. "I guess this is goodbye?" She turned to me. "You are the best love I ever had in my life." She reached over and took off her diamond incrusted ring and handed it to me. "You two make a lovely couple." Then she turned back to my Mistress. "I know me and you have had our differences, but that doesn't mean I stop loving you. Ever since you went through your transformation, I always loved you."

It seemed like Thana had more to say, but as she coughed a few more spurts of blood her body went limp and the light faded from her eyes.

Mistress Selene used her right hand to slowly close her eyes and laid her carefully down to rest in peace.

Both of us stood up looking down at our former lover and back at each other.

"What now?" I asked.

Mistress Selene took out the key card and stared hard at it. "Now we get the girls and get the fuck out of here."

I sighed feeling heartfelt for Thana, but relieved Mistress Selene finally said that. "It's about fucking time."

Chapter 28:

The Escape Plan

Mistress Selene and I backtracked our way back to the room filled with the naked women. When we returned the bodies were still sprawled out on the floor. Especially the dark haired man, who, I think, was hopefully dead or just sleeping off the bite Mistress Selene gave him. God he was pathetic.

Together we went to work taking the IV drips out of their vaginas, untying them, and helping them sit up in bed hoping they can shake the high off.

"Kora," Mistress Selene called getting my attention, "release the others and stay here until I get back."

"What are you going to do?" I asked concerned.

"Finding a faster way out of this and hopefully put a stop to all this insanity."

"Take me with you," I begged, "I can help."

"Help them." Mistress Selene demanded as she walked away. "What I'm about to do, needs to be done alone."

As she walked out of the room to finish what Thana and this mad scientist started, I couldn't help but think how my Mistress was so courageous. If she survives this I'm really going to give her some.

Selene walked back to the gallery backtracking to where they used to come in. Thana gave her the white keycard and told her that she would know what to do with it. Selene wasn't sure just yet but had a clear idea of what she was talking about.

As she made it through more thugs appeared out of nowhere surrounding Selene with their fists held in fighting position.

Selene looked around of the men who thought they had her. "We're going to go through this again, really?"

Instead of hand held weapons like 2 by 4s, metal chains, and crowbars like before, the thugs whipped out shotguns, AK-47s, and handguns pointing straight at Selene.

Selene licked her lips and smiled. She was armed as well but was surrounded by more guns. There were probably a hundred thousand men with all varieties of guns ready to fire once she made a move or the first trigger is pulled.

Selene heard clapping among the crowd. The crowd of thugs split sideways letting the man without a gun walk through. He was a bald headed, Caucasian man, with splotches on his wrinkled face. And he had a bushy white mustache and beard. He wore a long white lab coat that covered his whole old body.

"You must be Selene I presume?" The old man asked with a Russian accent. He put his hands behind his back in a casual manner.

Selene smiled. "Let me guess, you must be Vladimir Slavik?"

Vladimir spread out his hands to his sides. "In the flesh as you Americans say." Vladimir walked around nonchalantly not afraid of the outcome. "I have been watching you young lady and I have to admit, you really have outdone yourself."

"Well thank you I try." Selene said sarcastically.

"I have a proposition for you," Vladimir said, "before Thana's demise, I know she told you everything by now. G, the women, my creations. After you have taking on my pets, I am admired of your abilities and skills. Come, join forces with me and we can be one of the most powerful forces of nature not even The Coalition can comprehend. What'll say?"

Selene put both her hands on her hips and gave Vladimir a strong grin. "Sorry sweetie, but there can only be one King and one Queen. And I'm a combination of both."

Vladimir shrugged. "I'm very disappointed, but what is it Americans say? Alls well it ends well?"

"I wouldn't know anything about that," Selene said still keeping her grin, "I don't know if you can tell by my accent, but I'm British."

Vladimir shrugged again and chuckled. "Like any of that information matters now." Vladimir walked back to the opening returning to where he came in. "Kill her." Was the last thing he said before the crowd closed up pointing their guns straight at Selene.

Selene's grin got wider. Not because she was going to put up a fight, but because she heard something from a distance. Something underneath that was about to come up and it was big.

The crowd of thugs were ready to pull the trigger when everyone jumped when they felt a loud banging from underneath their feet. Then another and another.

Already expecting the worst and timing the next bang, Selene jumped out of the way as the floor broke inwards giving birth to a monstrosity Selene knew all too well.

Chapter 29:

Uruanagami Return

The beast Selene sent straight to hell returned and by the look of things was angry. Very angry.

Its first meal started with a thug it scooped up in its jaws and swallowed as the man screamed for mercy. Others began firing shooting at the thing. Some left a dent but it didn't stop the creature from crawling out of its hole and onto the floor. Its caterpillar body sprayed its web at the few group of thugs and stuck them to the floor where they were held until it was finished with the rest of their friends.

The thugs were screaming, shooting, and running for their lives. Some made it out while others were trapped by the web or eaten alive.

Selene used this as a distraction to go back into the hall and back to the room where she saw Kora helping one of the women. The rest were still in bed trying to get over the high they were torn away from earlier.

"What's wrong?" Kora asked hoping the look she gave them was not what she was expecting.

"We have to go," Selene told them, "Now."

After hearing my Mistress say those words with such seriousness, sped my heart up and causing the adrenaline to soar through my veins. The problem was the women just got off of the stuff and they were still feeling the effects of the drug. Which meant they were probably going to slow us down, but we had to try for their sake.

"Come on ladies," I called, "let's move!"

The women drowsily but effectively moved passed me and followed my Mistress out of the room and down the hall. As we followed Mistress Selene I couldn't help but hear shouting followed by gun fire. Mistress Selene was right with us, so she was not caught up in the fight. So what was all the commotion about?

Truthfully, I didn't want to know. All I cared about was following my Mistress and hoping that she found the exit.

As we ran down the hall we came across silver double doors with another keypad beside it. I was getting sick of seeing these doors. Anyway, my Mistress took out the keycard Thana gave her and slipped it in and then out real fast until the light turned green. The steel double doors slid open and Mistress Selene stepped aside letting all the women in first. I was surprise that all of us can fit in such a big elevator. As the sliding doors closed we felt the elevator move up.

My heart was beating so fast. It was like receiving a prize I have been waiting for since I was a kid. But instead of getting a Barbie Doll I was about to receive freedom. The best gift of all.

The elevator finally stopped and the double doors opened revealing a dusty old room cleared of any furniture.

I stepped out of the elevator carrying one of the drugged out women. "Where are we?"

"The basement," My Mistress Selene answered, "Come on we do not have much time."

Mistress Selene walked up the wooden steps. I followed but was self cautious because of the creaks I was hearing with each step. Hopefully the steps will not give way because of too much weight.

As we made it out of the basement a strong odor hit me so heard I thought I couldn't breathe. The place looked worse than it smelled. There was torn furniture everywhere, broken glass from mirrors shattered all over the floor, and a bed spread that looked like...well I really did not want to guess what it looked like.

"Be careful where you step," Mistress Selene warned even though the women needed to be warned. It was unclear if the women were too high to listen or too high to feel anything.

Mistress Selene kicked open another door which brought in a fresh scent that I have been waiting to smell for a long time. Air. Beautiful, elegant, fresh Los Angeles, air that I breathed in with pride. Freedom was here and I was going to walk to it without a doubt.

As we made it out of whatever Thana, Slavik, or their crew brought us in I couldn't believe I was seeing a street for the first time since I went under.

Once we get out of the alley the first thing I was going to do was get down on my knees and kiss the ground. I didn't care what type of dirt or bacteria was on there. I was going to praise the land no matter what.

Suddenly, I heard the walls collapse behind us. We all turned along with Mistress Selene to see the brick wall along with the door break open and out popped the bat/rat/caterpillar thing that we thought we left below the alley. And it was coming right for us!

Chapter 30:

The Last Fight

All the women may have been high when they first went under, but they became lucid the minute that thing burst out of the, supposedly, abandon building. The women ran for their lives trying to get away from the creature that, after feasting on the thugs underneath, was still hungry.

"Hurry," Selene cried, "get out of the alley!"

The women had no complaints as they ran for their lives.

After they made it out the creature was not too far behind. It was clear of what was expected of Selene. She had to stop that thing before it reaches the end of the alley or everybody was going to be monster food.

I helped everyone out of the alley except for my Mistress who stood there as if waiting for the chimera beast to come towards her. I ran back to Mistress Selene.

"Mistress," I called grabbing her arm, "we have to go now!"

"No," She said, "I can't leave."

"But Mistress why?"

"If that thing gets to the end of this alley we and everybody out here are in serious trouble," She explained whipping out her guns again, "you go, get the women to safety, let them tell their truths of what happened here, and live." Mistress Selene pulled me in for one strong kiss. "Now go!"

I did what I was told and left my Mistress there hoping she could be the only one to stop the thing and hopefully come back alive.

Selene pointed Ebony and Ivory at the thing and fired trying to hit the monster in the head, but it only made the beast angry.

The monster fired back by spitting a stream of strange goo at Selene from its mouth. With lightening quick reflexes, Selene jumped out of the way with a strong somersault flip letting the goo hit the ground.

The creature decided to climb up the wall to the other side of the brick building. Selene knew letting this thing escape was a big mistake. She jumped on the brick wall and ran across firing at the creature. The monster squealed and went back down in the middle of the alley ready to fight.

Selene jumped over the goo and landed on her boots. She ran towards the thing with guns blazing until she heard the m click. Out of bullets she put Ebony and Ivory back and took out Soul Wielder.

The bat-rat-caterpillar monster dived down trying to eat Selene, but Selene swung her sword making the creature back up. This was her chance to attack.

Selene came down with her sword stabbing the caterpillar like body. The monster squealed and dived trying to eat Selene again, but Selene was quick enough to run around to the side of the caterpillar body and continued slicing.

The monster squealed again feeling every inch of the blade slicing through its body.

Not finished with the beast, Selene jumped on the caterpillar body and ran up the back of its head. With Soul Wielder pointed down, Selene stabbed the thing in the back of its head hopefully stabbing its brain.

The bat/rat/caterpillar creature shook its head strenuously trying to get the sword out of its brain. Instead it released all four of its bat wings and began flapping up into the air taking Selene with it.

Selene twisted the sword left and right hoping to do more damage to the brain.

The creature tried shaking Selene off in the air but it was no use. Selene was not going to miss this chance of taking down the bat monster so she held on causing more damage to the beast everytime it tried to shake her off.

As it flew around shaking Selene off, Selene had a plan. She got on top of the head skillfully standing on her boots and forcing the sword out of its brain. Raising the sword up high, Selene jumped up high in the air and came down on the thing slicing into the back of its skull and slicing her way down between the wings until she stopped at the bat/rat's web sack. The monster screamed in pain as it flew into a brick wall and landed hard on the ground.

Landing on her boots, Selene ran up towards the painful monster and sliced up two of its wings just in case it decides to escape again. With the bat/rat/caterpillar like monster screaming in agony, Selene put it out of its misery by chopping up its thick neck. After 20 hard powerful swipes to the neck, Selene was able to cut its head clean off.

I stood there listening to all the commotion in the dark alley. I couldn't see what was going on because it was all black. But I heard the loud, ear piercing, scream of the creature. The others probably heard it too, but either they were too scared or too high to even care what was going on. The rumbling and screaming was so loud I was surprised that nobody else heard it or called the authorities. Hell knows we need them.

After what felt like an hour of fighting, the alley went silent. I stood there staring into the darkness with my heart thumping rapidly hoping that my Mistress will be okay. Please God let her be okay.

Then I heard the clicking sounds of boots coming towards us. My heart was pumping more blood and my mind pumping more adrenaline through my body knowing who it was that came out the victor and who was about to come out of the alley alive.

Out appeared my Mistress Selene with the monster's blood on her leather, dominatrix, clothing. She held onto her sword stained with blood.

I ran up to her and wrapped my arms around her body not caring what goo was on her. I was just glad that she made it out alive.

"You made it," I said holding onto her tight.

"Of course I did," Mistress Selene said, "did you ever doubt your Mistress?"

I released my grip on her and both of us stared into each other's eyes. Then we kissed passionately as if my Mistress was about to enter another war and this will be our last day together.

Chapter 31:

Aftermath

Vladimir Slavik sat at the control console and switched on the screen. As he sat the words appeared on screen as follows.

Is everything in order?

Vladimir typed in his answers.

There were some...complications. But the project was a major success.

And what of Thana?

She was taken care of. The project did us a very big favor. Vladimir typed.

And what of the Amazonian?

She escaped but she will not be an error of concern, this I promise.

Very well then. Collect all the data and return back to headquarters, we will meet in an hour.

Just like that the screen shut off.

Vladimir leaned back in his chair delighted that everything went according to plan. It was fortunate that he had an escape plan before that beast started massacring the whole place. Perverts! They probably deserve it. It was a shame though; the unknown creation was such a beautiful creature. If only he had a chance to capture it and do more studies and find out where it came from, he might have been able to control it. It would have been one the Rainbow Coalition's greatest achievements. But like Americans always say: "Back to the drawing board."
