After nearly thirty minutes of racing one another, Athena and Jason eventually stopped in a densely wooded area. There was a ck of civilization for miles around them and Nuke Isle City was so far one would not be able to see it from their position. Currently, the two were separated by a good distance as they stared into one another’s eyes.
“Upset I beat you? Don’t worry, it’ll become a common occurrence from this point forward.” Jason said, coming off as almost humble. Yet the look on his face was anything but that.
“Look at you. Nose pointed upward, chest sticking out, and that punchable smugness on your face. Are you really that proud because you won by a single inch? So I guess we’ll forget how you cheated with those webs of yours?” Hearing her, Jason scoffed and waved his hand nonchantly.
“Cheat? How dare you accuse me of such a wicked deed! Take your loss like a man!” Athena raised an eyebrow which caused Jason to gasp when seeing it. He patted his chest lightly and put on a fake apologetic face.
“Sorry sorry, my mistake. Like a bitch. Better?” Suddenly, she began chuckling and cracked her neck a few times.
“I’m going to enjoy breaking you, again. Try and st a little longer would you? Not very attractive when a male taps so early.” His eye twitched when remembering his st two beatings. As for the words she spoke, they started a fire in his heart.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you for Alice’s sake.”
“Isn’t that my line? My little Bunny would be heartbroken to see your half dead form.”
“Confident are we? Ah, I would feel bad for shattering it along with your face, but you’re really not worth the effort.”
A heavy silence fell over them as they gred at each other with hostility. The tension between them was palpable, growing with each second. The forest around them had become eerily silent as the nearby critters scurried away. They could sense death on the horizon and wisely trusted their instincts.
Suddenly, Jason dashed forwards as fast as he could and decided to strike first. He faked a straight punch and watched how she moved to dodge. Out of nowhere, he crouched down and pced one hand on the ground, spinning and swiftly kicking her legs out from underneath her. While she fell, he kicked out once more directly at her chest and sent her flying. Not wanting to give her a chance to breathe he immediately rushed for her.
Athena flew far, crashing through dozens of trees before sliding across the ground. Ignoring the numbness in her chest, she got up and watched her opponent approach her faster than lightning. His right arm transformed into a spiky tendril and was thrust at her head. Barely managing to tilt her head and dodge it, Athena grabbed onto the tendril with both hands. Pulling roughly, she yanked Jason towards her and let go, punching him with her right hand.
Even though he was caught off guard with the pull, Jason managed to instantly shift his left arm into a durable shield and block the punch. But the force had sent him flying away and nd dozens of meters away. Before he could get up, Athena had already appeared over top him and was in the midst of trying to cw his stomach open. Rolling out of the way, Jason hurriedly got up and jumped back to dodge another cwed strike aimed at his head.
Athena constantly kept the pressure on him and never gave him even a moment to breath. This kept going for close to a minute before Jason took action. He barely leaned back, letting her cw miss by a centimeter. At the same time, he grabbed that same arm with his right hand while his left clocked her in the jaw. While she was momentarily stunned, his wings erupted out of his back and he tackled her. He brought the both of them into the air before suddenly smming her into the ground with all his strength. The ground cracked and trembled, almost as if an earthquake appeared here.
On top of her, Jason punched Athena in the face multiple times, disregarding any nonsense about not hitting a woman. However, she soon caught both of his wrists and gred at him fiercely. Jason noticed a change had occurred. Her muscles seemed to grow even rger, her breath was heavy and almost steamy, and her eyes had become bloodshot.
Now in her berserk state, Athena grinned wildly and roughly headbutt Jason so hard a loud crack could be heard. While he was briefly stunned, she let go of his wrists and punched him in the face and sent him flying out of the hole they were in. Near instantly, she jumped out of the hole and wrapped her arms around Jason, pnning to rip his wings off. But he didn’t give her the chance and chomped down on her neck, causing her to scream out. But she soon repaid the favor by doing the same thing to him.
Meanwhile, Jason’s wings had never stopped fpping and carried the two through the air randomly. They went through trees, rocks, and even slid across the ground. But soon enough, Jason was able to overpower Athena and throw her off due to the poison he injected weakening her a bit. As she fell to the ground and was already starting to shrug off the paralyzing effect, Jason frowned and touched his neck while looking at hers. Both had healed retively quickly, causing him to sigh.
“This’ll be a long fight.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the course of the next two hours, Jason and Athena continued to duke it out without rest. Since their healing factor was immense, they could go on and on for seemingly forever. However, as the fight dragged on, something had changed. Their attacks has gotten more primal and brutal, each trying their hardest to seemingly kill the other. The surrounding area around them had been transformed into one of desotion and destruction. It hardly resembled the lush forest beforehand and was more like a war torn battleground now.
Suddenly, Jason used his bde to completely slice off Athena’s left arm. Her eyes widened in pain, but she ignored it and opened her mouth, expelling a tsunami of fmes towards him. Caught off guard as he never knew she had such an ability, he took the brunt of the fire and was pushed back. The power of the fmes were great, burning his skin and causing massive damage. This continued for a few moments before she halted and swiftly grabbed her cut off arm. Using it like a club, she brutally spped him across the face a few times and made him take a couple steps back.
“Are you fucking kidding me?!” Enraged at both the audacity and teasing smirk on her face, Jason bolted for her. He easily ducked under her arm/club attack and punched her across the face with all his strength.
Following a loud resounding crack of a bone breaking, Athena was sent flying off in the distance. But she didn’t get too far before Jason wrapped a tendril around her waist and forcibly brought her back towards him. Then, using his other cwed hand, impaled her right in the stomach and dragged her organs out. Yet this didn’t seem to faze her as she elbowed him in the head multiple, her strength decreasing with each hit as he injected poison into her through his cws.
“D-Damn it…” She uttered, her mind becoming hazy as her power slipped through her finger tips. She felt weak and tired, something she was unaccustomed to. Due to the poison's effect, her insides were dying rapidly.
With a grin, Jason head butted her and sent her tumbling to the ground. Getting on top of her, he punched her ruthlessly in the face multiple times and only stopped when he felt her bones break under his fists. For good measure, he used his cws to shred her chest open and revealed her beating heart.
“Do you give?” He asked, a yer of teasing to his voice as his hooks erupted out of his back and threatened to tear her head off. She gred at him fiercely. It almost seemed as if she wanted to fight to the death and never give in. But then, she huffed and rexed her body.
“You win. Happy now?” A smile adorned her bloody and ruined face, surprising Jason by a good bit. He would have thought her pride might be wounded from losing. However, that didn’t seem to be the case.
Suddenly, a wave of satisfaction washed over Jason and he got off her with a wide smile. Although he was seriously injured, he has finally beaten this brute into the ground! Before he could bask in the glory for too long, Athena raised an eyebrow and outstretched her remaining hand. She waved it impatiently and compined.
“Little help here?” Grabbing her hand, Jason easily helped her up and sent his tendrils into her body, trying to help with her healing.
At the same time, his other arm shot off into the distance and started consuming whatever pnt life still remained. His body was heavily damaged and although he seemed fine on the surface, most of his organs were actually dead and needed to be healed.
Just like with Alice and Lily, he didn’t try dominating Athena. It felt wrong to do such a thing since he considered her a friend. Then there’s the sisters who wouldn’t like it either. In fact, Asura was simir in this respect. Jason might have threatened him earlier, but it was nothing more than trying to push him harder. He truly liked the three headed ftterer and wouldn’t kill him unless betrayal was involved.
The two of them stood there in silence, Jason organizing his thoughts of what to do ter and Athena staring at his face. Suddenly, she leaned down and roughly kissed his lips without hesitation. Jason was stunned and took a few seconds to respond. It was only when he felt her tongue wrestle with his own that he woke up and immediately jumped away from her, surprise written all over his face.
“What the fuck was that?!” She licked her lips as her eyes wandered his bloodied form, desire and lust within them.
“I want you. To be your mate. Been wanting it for a while, but I had to wait until you grew stronger. Don’t you want it too?” She asked and grew closer to him, a knowing look to her face.
“Think I haven’t seen you looking at me like that? I’ve caught you staring at my chest and ass a few times now.” Jason reacted like a child who got caught stealing candy and backed away from her slowly.
“Wait a minute now, we can’t do this! I already have Lily and Alice. Any more than that is just nonsense.”
“So? Isn’t it normal for a strong male to have multiple mates?” Jason thought she was joking, but there was a serious look in her face.
If he were to be honest, he did want her. They had great chemistry and she was quite beautiful. Not by human standards at least. However, he truly didn’t want to have some massive harem with countless women. It felt shallow and almost degrading towards them. As if they were nothing more than Harem Member #23.
“Talk to Alice and Lily then. Only if they agree will this work out. Now quit your shit and let me heal you so we can go back. I have some ideas cooking in my head for some new infected.” Athena obediently stopped and let him do whatever he wanted to her.
As for talking to the sisters? She wasn’t worried in the slightest. Convincing her little Bunny was so easy she already considered it done. But she had a strange feeling Lily wouldn’t be so thrilled.

At the remote and secret Bcksite housing the President of the United States, a savage battle was underway. Leading his forces with unstoppable might and cunning tactics, Hiroshi easily charged through the first and second line of defenses. He had attacked them in surprise, giving them no time to defend themselves.
After just twenty minutes, Hiroshi had wiped out most of the humans and prevented their escape. He had his tens of thousands of infected surround the entire compound. Any helicopter or pne which tried to fly away were ripped apart by his air units and sent tumbling to the ground. However, there was one hiccup Hiroshi didn’t account for, Fenrir.
This Unique and strange werewolf infected hybrid was fairly powerful, holding back hundreds of Cyborg Infected by himself. Suddenly, Hiroshi raised his hand and every attacking infected paused, taking a few steps back. At the time, his cybernetic eye fshed for a split second.
“Why are you trying so hard to fight us? For what reason do you have to protect these humans so much?” Fenrir’s breathing was bored as his countless wounds tried healing themselves. In front of him in the dozens were torn apart corpses, some even fried to a crisp due to his fire breath.
Behind him was a closed door leading to the underground section of the base. Just a hundred or so meters inside was President Jones, his family, and any other survivors trying to escape via the tunnels. He had to hold the line here, even if it meant sacrificing his life.
Growling deeply, he replied to Hiroshi with a feral and savage voice, trying to buy some time.
“If it weren’t for humans, I would have died long ago. I was born weaker than most wolf cubs and because of this, was abandoned during the harsh winter. It was cold and dark, my body growing stiff.” His eyes gzed over slightly as he remembered the past.
“I was sure I would’ve frozen or starved to death, all alone like that. But that’s when my adoptive father came who was out hunting. He took me in, cared for and raised me as his own. Gave me food, shelter from the cold, and all the love I could even need. That’s why-“
Suddenly, a little white robot silently flew down and arrived behind Fenrir’s head without him knowing. Before he could even turn around, it blew up and caused a massive explosion which devoured some of the nearby infected. When the smoke cleared, the majority of Fenrir's head and some of his body was blown off. He stood for a few more seconds before falling over on his back, completely dead.
“Moron. Did you really think I wanted to hear your life story?” He shook his head from side to side, unable to believe how idiotic everyone around him was.
Hiroshi knew exactly what this Fenrir character wanted to do. Buy time for the humans to escape and sacrifice his own life to make sure that happens. The reason as to why he even engaged in conversation with this fool was to lower his guard. Then, one of his Scouting Eyeballs came up behind him and self detonated. This was one slightly different than the others as the bomb inside was stronger. At the same time, he had a Generator Core attached to it which would blow up as well.
‘They could be a good idea. A cannon fodder type of unit which can deal a high amount of damage. Suicide Eye-Bomber?’ Sidelining that thought for the moment, he waved his hand and Zero One stepped up with the COC, firing at the door and blowing it to smithereens.
“Go forwards and infect anything you come across.”
It wasn’t very long until his forces returned, with over two hundred new compatriots. Smiling, he stepped up to the bck infected who had a vacant gaze.
“President Jones I assume. You wouldn’t mind if I took a peek inside that head of yours, right?” Hiroshi chuckled to himself darkly and forced his way inside the infected Jones mind.
With all of these high level personnel, along with the President, Hiroshi was confident in wiping out most humans in this country because of their memories. Then he would take it all for himself and begin building his escape fleet. He wasn’t an idiot like the rest of these Neanderthals and knew the aliens in space would send more after the previous ones mysteriously died. And this time, they might send a fleet to wipe them all out. It’s what he would have done anyway.
“I need to hurry. Who knows how much time I have?” A rare solemn and serious look were found in his eyes as he doubled his effort in searching through the President’s memories.

( Jason )
It’s finally the day when the sisters and Asura return. I’ve been missing them greatly these past few weeks and am excited to see how they’ve turned out. As for the three headed bastard, he hasn’t let me down! I can already sense that he’s on the level of an Alpha and a decently strong one at that. He’s still vastly below me and Athena, but he turned out much better than I originally hoped.
Speaking of the succubus, she’s been a major pain in my ass. While waiting for the sisters to return and give their blessing, Athena has been teasing me relentlessly. Whether it be walking into my b naked and causing me to mess up my experiments, or ‘accidently’ brushing herself against my body. I’ve tried to get her to stop, but it’s only made her more wild. Now she’s taking it like some type of game to see how long I st. And like the ass she is, is super competitive in this ‘game’.
One thing I’ve found interesting though, are these strange times when she straight up disappears. There was even one time she left for four days in a row, coming back stronger than before. Like the curious… bck? White? Well, whatever color cat I am, I decided to follow her one day. We left Nuke Isle City and went extremely far away, coming to a city of the same size.
While there, I found out what she was doing. Basically, she was finding any Alpha or decently strong infected she could and sughtered them. Then, ate them after some torturing. Turns out this fuck wanted to beat me after growing stronger. Luckily, I caught it early and soon outpaced her by devouring the nearby forests. However, I’ve noticed the slower increase in strength for us both. I suppose it makes sense, or else I’d be able to lift a mountain within two months.
Ignoring Athena from this point forward before I lose my mind, I’ve had some great gains as of te! Some stuff I’m really excited about. First I should talk about the Infestation making it’s way out of the Facility and onto the streets.
Something I found super interesting was when it came into contact with other infected and pnts. When a passing infected not under my control stepped onto the Infestation, they were actually being slowly consumed to spread it’s gunk further. The Infestation, while consuming them, worms into their mind and makes them completely content with lying down and slowly dying.
Meanwhile, the pnts became corrupted and infected, resembling nothing of their previous self. They’ve turned into these odd pnt tendrils, which soon reminded me of the pnt hybrid failures, but I’ll get back to that ter.
Now one might think the Infestation is spreading a little too fast as apposed to st time. And they’d be right to think like that. I had this thought a while ago that it wasn’t spreading too quickly. I mean, at that rate, it’d probably take years we don't have to corrupt the entire pnet. Going along with that, I made a completely new infected based off the design of the Breeders. Tumor Mothers.
Just like their name states, the Tumor Mothers massively increase the spread of the Infestation by pnting new Tumors onto the ground or any other surface. They can also control the Tumors in the same way I can which is basically make one into a wall and stop the spread from going past it. Thanks to their help and effort, the Infestation has gone further than my wildest dreams. At this rate, it’ll only take three days to infest this city. As for the humans in Michael’s bases, I’ve already told him to start transferring them to Washington. Besides one of them though which will soon be used for testing.
Kraken has already taken over the entire pce and sent up a nice breeding camp for them. He’s moved on from there and is going to other cities, building my Horde even further. He's really stepped up to the pte, doing much better than I thought. What a good little trooper!
