Author's Chapter Notes:

This is easily the longest chapter i've ever written. I didn't have the heart to make it a 2 parter. Funny thing is as i wrote the chapter I kept think of the Age of Apocalpyse comics...

Throughout recorded history, people have always asked the same question after a major historic event happens; what if? What if this happened instead of that? This question is mostly asked concerning wars. What if America lost the revolutionary war? What if D-Day had failed? What if Kennedy green lighted the invasion of Cuba? These questions had been asked for centuries but now people asked what if the Union lost the final battle? What makes the last question unique is one person actually found out the answer.

 

It was July 9, 2148. A clear sunny day in Los Angeles like any other day but soon it would turn into something horrific. Eve was humming to herself as she walked to the R&D department of the Stardust Plan. She enjoyed seeing Karen. The two acted a lot alike when it came to romance and humor. Karen had become the chief of R&D when it became obvious that she was a genius and wasted no time in putting her theories into practice. Karen was busy tinkering with a device the size of a personal swimming pool and didn't hear her cousin come in.

 

"Hey Karen! What you up to?" Eve said smiling. "Hey squirt! Didn't hear you come in! What brings you here?" Karen said hugging the teen giantess. "Oh I thought I'd visit since my last assignment brought me her to Los Angeles" she replied. "Another peacekeeper assignment?" Karen asked. "Yeah, reports came in of True Way radicals operating in California" Eve said. "Those guys again. Why can't they get it through their heads that people stopped buying into that humans are just a resource bullshit" Karen said shaking her head. "Well apparently more than you'd think. A report of a community emptied out and giant footprints found there came from Catalina" Eve said. "Oh god what do you think happened?!" Karen asked. "Only speculation of what's going on. Breeding material, amusement, food, who knows?" Eve said.

 

"Any leads?" Karen asked. "Tracked a few sympathizers and did find one disturbing thing here in the city. An Ingress male was hiring prostitutes and bringing them home to eat them later. We found True Way propaganda in his house but no other leads. The bastard just laughed at us and told us we should get ready for something big to happen" Eve said. "That doesn't sound too good" Karen said. "No it doesn't. What are you working on?" Eve said trying to change the subject. "A slipstream transport system that can be used on a person" Karen said pointing to the saucer shaped object.

 

"Can't you use the ones there putting on those probes?" Eve asked. "Not powerful enough or safe enough but this prototype might do the trick" Karen said looking over some data. "Oh can I try it?" Eve asked. "No way in hell. I don't want the wrath of Aunt Leila if something happens to you. Remember how she flipped when you told her about becoming a peacekeeper and let's not forget your dad. I do not want to piss of the guy who singlehandedly killed the Empress" Karen said. Eve pouted.

 

"Look, I haven't even calibrated the space time stabilization buffers. Who knows where you might end up" Karen said to her. "Yeah, okay I understand" Eve said turning to look at other things Karen was working on. Eve's rifle, which was strapped to her back, hit a monitor when she turned. "Careful! Why do you have to wear that in here?!" Karen asked annoyed. "Regulations. Can't be too careful these days" Eve said. "Words to live by" Karen said. "What's Lisa up to these days?" Eve asked. "Busy. She's engaged to some human guy in Chicago while starting that new teaching job of her's" Karen said. "She gonna be a teacher?" Eve asked. "Yep, Lisa always had an affinity towards humans. It's understandable that she would choose such a profession. She had a blast as a student teacher. She would find it cute when the kindergarten class would ask her to pick them up so they could see how things looked up high" Karen said.

 

"How's Aunt Cindy? I haven't heard from her in almost two years" Eve said. "Neither have we. Last we heard she and her "partner" took off to the homeworld to do some archeological research. Partner my ass. I've seen how mom looks at him sometimes" Karen said rolling her eyes. "Enough about me. What's going on between you and this Chris guy aunt Leila told me about?" Karen asked smirking. "He's just a boy I met in the peacekeepers" Eve said blushing. "Just a boy huh?" Karen said nudging her. "Okay he's more than just a boy. We've been going out for a few months now" Eve said blushing more. "How serious are you two?" Karen asked. Eve looked away. "Oh wow have you guys already done it?!" Karen asked. "That doesn't make me a slut does it?!" Eve asked upset. "Eve it's not slutty to fuck the one you love. It's slutty to fuck a lot of people you love at the same time. Besides, I fucked my first human when I was younger than you" Karen said.

 

"Okay, if that's the case, can I ask you something?" Eve asked. "Shoot" Karen said. "Does your guy really like the kinky stuff?" Eve asked embarrassed. "Michael was...imaginative when it came to sex. Still is actually. Why, is Chris a freak too?" Karen asked chuckling. "He's...into role-play. Last week we tried S&M. It's weird how he likes to worship my feet. One night I caught him fucking my belly button!" Eve said mortified. Karen burst out laughing. "It's not funny!" Eve said shouting. "Sorry but it is. Michael likes my feet too but he never put his dick in my belly button!" Karen said laughing. "Look, everyone has their thing. Hell I didn't even know the world macrophile until I came to Earth. What's most important is you love each other. Freaky love is still love" Karen said putting her hand on Eve's shoulder. "Thanks cuz" Eve said hugging her giantess cousin. Their touching moment was interrupted by a loud siren.

 

"What's that?" Eve asked covering her ears. "Security breach!" Karen answered. "I'll look into it!" Eve shouted. "No stay here! Security will deal with it. I need you here to safeguard the lab!" Karen shouted. Out in the corridor, the shouting got quieter. Eve readied her weapon. "The intruders have been dealt with. Is everyone okay in there?" a woman's voice shouted. "We're fine!" Karen shouted. "Good. Please unlock the door so we can verify you are registered personnel" the voice said. Karen walked to the door and typed in the code. The door clicked. The door flew open hitting Karen and sending her to the floor. Eve saw the woman, who was in her mid 20's, wearing a True Way uniform. Eve raised her weapon but the woman had the advantage of having here already drawn. She shot Eve at point blank range sending her into the lab table where the transport device was laying. The device hit the floor with a metallic clunk.

 

Eve groaned. If it wasn't for her shield, she'd be dead. The woman picked up the device and touched her comm. "Objective complete. Returning to rendezvous point" she said.  "You are not getting away!" Eve shouted rising to her feet. The woman was caught off guard and wasn't able to get another shot off before Eve tackled her. When they fell, it activated the transport device and pulled them into a vortex. Eve and the woman tumbled down a yellow corridor of light. The two wrestled as they traveled through the slipstream. "Let go bitch! I SAID LET GO!" the woman shouted kicking Eve. The woman drifted away propelled from the momentum of her kick and hit the wall of the corridor and vanished. Eve could do nothing to stop her and saw the yellow light get brighter at the end of the corridor. She closed her eyes and prepared for impact.

 

Eve awoke with a splitting headache. She didn't know where she was. Everything around her was rubble. She walked down a destroyed street trying to find out where she was. She came to a highway that had a twisted and scorched sign the read "Kansas City 8 miles". "What the hell is all this?" she said not believing the devastation.  She walked further till she saw a tiny sign and bent down to read it. "Welcome to Lawrence Kansas, Population-" was all she could read on the burnt sign. This isn't possible. They finished the reconstruction years ago. Why hasn't this city-" she said to herself before she saw an explosion in the background.

 

Eve raced to the location of the blast and saw three Ingress engaging two STRIKE's. "STRIKE's? They were decommissioned years ago! What are they doing out here and who are they fighting?!" Eve said running closer. "HQ this is Charlie 1! Charlie 3 is down and we are taking heavy fire. Request reinforcements over?!" the pilot yelled over the comm. "Roger Charlie 1! Two friendlies coming in. Watch out for FF!" a voice replied. Eve knew enough that a STRIKE was a Union machine and if they were shooting at Ingress then they must be an enemy. "I don't know if this is some True Way fight but I'm a peacekeeper and that means I don't wait for someone to tell me when to fight the enemy!" she said pulling out her positron rifle and firing.

 

One Ingress woman who was too busy trying to shoot a STRIKE was hit by multiple rounds from Eve's rifle. They whittled down her shield in no time. The next few rounds ripped through her armor and killed her. The other two however turned their attention and fired on her. Eve scrambled for cover. She was hit in the back but luckily her shields held. Eve now took cover behind city hall. “Who the fuck was that?!" Charlie 1 asked. "She's not broadcasting an IFF. One of ours?" Charlie 2 asked. "Don't recognize the uniform. Did you see that rifle she had?! Hadn't seen that kind of firepower since the final battle!" Charlie 1 said. "Fuckin' A I saw it! Some kind of positron weapon judging from those red streaks. Never heard of one used as a burst rifle though" Charlie 2 said.

 

"Whoever she is she took out an enemy and needs backup. Let's go!" Charlie 1 said flying off to where Eve and the others were. "Switch to carbine mode" Eve said to her rifle. The rifle barrel telescoped and the firing chamber expanded. "Complete" it said after it popped up a scope. Eve inched to the edge of the building hearing the crunching of asphalt and concrete. They were looking for her. Eve took aim at one of them and fired. The red beam struck one and tore through her shield. Her head exploded when the positron shot hit her in the face. The third Ingress saw this and dashed for cover. Eve knew she had a problem. Her location was seen and it was clear that the chance of killing this one by surprise was slim. He fears got worse when a small orb landed next to her and beeped. "OH SHIT!" Eve yelled.

 

Eve pressed a button on her wristcomm and out popped two wings on her back followed by a small engine. "Thank god I didn't take off my combat shroud" Eve thought. She raced into the air until the grenade exploded. The blast took out city hall and the next block over.  The concussion hit Eve and caused her to tumble out of the sky. Eve slammed into the ground. The Ingress saw her and readied her plasma rifle. Eve stumbled to her feet, her vision blurred due to hitting her head. An intense red beam streaked out of nowhere and burned off the giantess' hand. The Ingress woman screamed in pain. Eve looked to see where the shot came from and saw the two STRIKE's landing near her. The Ingress woman was crazed from pain and charged the two machines. She kicked Charlie 1 and sent him into a collapsed building. She focused on Charlie 2 who was taking aim with his plasma cannons. He fired a volley which struck the woman. The woman's armor sizzled under the impacts. She raised her only arm she had left. In its grip was a dagger.

 

She struck out and Charlie 2 and sliced into his armor. "Switch to shotgun mode" Eve groaned. Eve walked over to the fight. "Someone, anyone! I could use some help!" he yelled. *BTOOM!*

 

The pilot opened his eyes and saw he was still alive. The giantess stood over him and then fell to the street. The pilot saw a smoking hole the size of a garage in her back and Eve holding the smoking gun. Eve fell to her knees. "Everything cool?" Charlie 1 asked flying over to them. "Depends" he answered looking at Eve. "We got some questions for you" Charlie 1 said. "As do I. Why haven't this place been visited by a reconstruction team? Who were those guys? Were they True way activists?" Eve asked. "Reconstruction team? True Way? What the hell are you taking about lady? Who are you?" Charlie 2 asked. "You don't know who I am? That's different. I'm-" Eve was saying before they heard jet engines.

 

3 STRIKE's along with two Ingress touched down near them. Eve saw their uniform and didn't recognize it. She did notice a symbol over the heart. The Greek letter for Omega. The soldiers drew down on Eve. "Hold your fire. She helped take out that enemy patrol!" Charlie 1 said. "At ease Lt. I detect no IFF nor recognize that uniform." an Ingress woman said walking closer to Eve. She eyed Eve carefully. "State your name and platoon" the giantess ordered. "2nd Lt. Eve Pherson. No platoon. Peacekeeper division 031" Eve said. "That is impossible. You will tell me your real name immediately!" the woman said pulling out her rifle.

 

"That is my real name" Eve said getting in her face. "Captain Marcus, we need to go. This area will be crawling with enemy troops soon" a giant said. "You will come with us" Captain Marcus said grabbing her arm. Eve pulled back. "I'm going anywhere. Especially with Omega" Eve said. The Captain looked to the side and quickly rammed the stock of her rifle against Eve's head. Eve fell to the concrete unconscious. "That wasn't a request. Take her with us to HQ" the woman ordered. The giant picked her up and held her in his arms. He was surprised she was so light. "Was this necessary Lisa?" the giant asked. "I only knew one person with that name and she's been dead for 15 years and that's Captain Marcus when we're in the field Lt. Wallis" Lisa said before activating her flight pack. The team left the broken town of Lawrence Kansas before the enemy troops could find them.

 

Eve awoke on a hospital bed stark naked. Electrodes and a bandage was on her head and inner elbow. She tried to move and saw that she was strapped down. She started to get scared. "I see you're awake. How do you feel?" a voice asked. "Fuck kinda question is that?! I'm fuckin' naked and cold! I got shit pinned to me and I'm tied down like a fucking animal oh and my head hurts like a motherfucker!" Eve yelled. "If you’re strong enough to complain then you're strong enough to answer some questions" the voice said. "Then come out and face me! Don't hide in the shadows like a fucking coward!" Eve yelled. The voice stepped out of the shadows; it was Lisa.

 

"You're the bitch that sucker punched me!" Eve said pulling on her restraints. "That I am. When we retrieved you, we found weapons we've never seen before. Where did you get them?" Lisa asked. "I tell you what. I'll answer a question if you answer mine" Eve said. "Alright, depending on the question" Lisa said. "My weapon is a standard issue variable positron weapon and combat shroud for my division. My question. Why the fuck am I naked!" Eve yelled. "We need to search you for any location beacons. Including some...particular areas" Lisa said. Eve blushed and gritted her teeth. She could only imagine who was fingering her pussy or asshole. "My turn, what division do you speak of?" Lisa asked. "Peacekeeper division 031" Eve said.

 

"There's no such thing called the peacekeepers but you did help my squad. Maybe a new resistance group?" Lisa asked. "My turn, where the fuck am I?" Eve asked. "Resistance cell 13. Now for my question and don't fucking lie. Who...are...you?" Lisa asked. "My name is Eve Pherson" she replied. Lisa took her hand and slapped Eve so hard her nose bled. "Don't you dare say that name! You are not Eve Pherson! She's dead!" Lisa yelled grabbing Eve's neck. Now that Lisa was closer, Eve got a better look at her face. She had seen her face earlier but with blurred vision didn't make it out too well. Eve was startled when she recognized who she was. "Lisa?" Eve choked out. Lisa let go of her neck and stood back. Lisa never told her her name. How did she know it? "An enemy plant. Must be" Lisa said leaving the room. Eve laid there wondering why her cousin was interrogating her so brutally and why did everyone think she was dead.

 

Lisa made her way to the observation room. "We monitored her vitals the whole time. Judging by her pulse rate, she never lied, not once" the doctor said. "That is not my cousin. My cousin died in the bombardment" Lisa said coldly. "We ran the standard blood work. We found nanomachines in the sample but they seem to be medical in nature and we found something else" he said pulling up two visuals. "One is the DNA sample of Eve Pherson taken at birth 15 years ago and this is that girl's" he said overlaying the visuals. "As you see they are an exact match" he said. "Then she must be a clone!" Lisa yelled. Her voice hurt the human doctor's ears. "That wouldn't explain the viral markers we found. She was exposed just like your people were those years ago and she doesn't have any chromosomal fading like you'd find in a clone" the doctor said.

 

"So you're saying she's really my cousin? How? You know full well they blew HQ to bits shortly after the battle! I only survived because my transport was already airborne at the time. My sister didn't even survive the first wave" Lisa said. "Yes I know about the bombardment. You forget I lost my son in the first week of it" the doctor said turning his head. "What do we do with her?" Lisa asked. "We need to know more about where she came from. I suggest you ask tomorrow. That last minute you had with her was...counterproductive" the doctor said.

 

Lisa left the room and headed to her office. She sat down and opened a comm channel. "Lisa, I wasn't expecting your weekly report so soon" a man said on the screen. "This couldn't wait Ned. There's been an incident" Lisa said. Lisa explained what had happened and Ned was speechless. "I can't believe it. That's not possible. We both saw her transport blown to bits along with HQ!" Ned said. "Believe me I know but we have confirmed that it's her" Lisa said. "You need to bring her here. If we can find out how she's alive and where she got those weapons then maybe we can use that to our advantage in the war" Ned said. "Understood. Ned...if she is who she says she is, how should I take it?" Lisa asked. "As a miracle" Ned replied.

 

Eve fell asleep later that evening from exhaustion.   During the night though she had a few visitors. "Dude I just want to see her" one man said. "Come on man. Let her sleep.  You can stare at her all you want tomorrow" another man said. "Daryl, I know what's on your mind man. She looks to be 15 or something for fuck's sake! You're old enough to be her dad" the man said. "15 can still be hot man. Look at that body! You can't tell me you don't get hard looking at that Kevin!" Daryl said.  "Yeah she's a cutie all right but watching her as she sleeps is kinda wrong man. Dude she saved our lives today" Kevin said. Daryl ignored his friend and climbed onto her bed. He stood between her legs admiring her giant cunt.

 

"What did I just say?! Show some fucking respect!" Kevin yelled. Eve stirred in her sleep. Kevin climbed on to the bed and walked over to Daryl. "We need to go. Leave her be" Kevin said. Daryl ignored him further and began taking off his pants. "You can stand there all you want playing like you don't want to fuck her but I'm gonna get some of that" Daryl said walking closer to her pussy. Kevin had enough and punched his teammate in the face. "I'm not letting you rape the person who saved our lives you fucking degenerate" Kevin hissed. Daryl stood up and quickly left the room. "Thanks" Kevin heard. Kevin turned around to see Eve was awake.

 

"You heard?" Kevin asked. "Everything" Eve said. "I couldn't let him..." Kevin muttered. "I know. That was very sweet of you to stand up for me" Eve said trying to choke back tears. Since she had arrived, she had to endure terrible treatment. The worst was nearly being raped by a tiny human. Now she felt a sliver of happiness to meet someone who was kind to her. "I have to ask. Are you really who you say you are?" Kevin asked. Eve nodded. There was an awkward silence between the two. Kevin couldn't help but glance at her crotch. Eve blushed. "Sorry I'll just leave" Kevin said. "Wait. Tell me your name" Eve said. "Kevin Ruxford. I was in that STRIKE that was fighting with you yesterday. Guess you saved me first huh heh heh" Kevin said to her.

 

"Kevin what is going on? What happened to the city?" she asked. "You don't know about the bombardment?" Kevin asked. Before Eve could ask, a light shone down the hallway. "Damn an MP. No one supposed to be in here with you" Kevin said leaving. "Please don't go!" Eve cried. Kevin stopped near her foot and stroked her big toe. "Cooperate with them. I'm pretty sure they won't harm you. Just stay calm okay?" Kevin said leaving her. Eve stared at the ceiling wishing all of this was a bad dream.

 

Lisa came into the room the next morning along with a male Ingress carrying her clothes and weapons. Lisa took off her restraints. "Get dressed. You have a flight to catch" Lisa told her. "Where am I going?" Eve asked. "Toronto base to speak with the North America resistance leader" Lisa replied. "And you're just letting me carry my weapons like that?" Eve asked. "You're not carrying them. He will" Lisa said pointing to the man. "Will you be coming?" Eve asked her. "No I have to see to things here" Lisa said. Lisa led her to the underground hangar where she boarded a shuttle before she stepped onto the gangplank Lisa gripped her shoulder. Eve anticipated something cruel from her but was taken aback when she hugged her.  "If you're really my cousin then this was long overdue. If you're not then I will personally kill you" Lisa said. As if to affirm her identity, Eve hugged her back.

 

The shuttle took off and flew toward Toronto. Eve saw out the window Kansas City. A nice Midwestern city was cratered. Eve, like many hybrid kids growing up, heard the stories of how destructive a plasma turret was. She figured that it would take one a max power to do something like this. She shook her head not at the devastation but in confusion. "Kansas city was never hit by a plasma turret. Only Beijing, Shanghai, and Seoul" she thought. She turned to the Ingress man who guarded her and a weapons briefcase. "What did this?" she asked. The man said nothing and turned away like he remembered something terrible. Eve watched as the scenery was marked by craters and ruins. It seemed the urban areas were obliterated and the suburbs simply shot up similar to pictures she'd seen of D.C. after the battle to take out the North American hub. Only the rural areas seemed unaffected.

 

"We got incoming! 5 drones just popped out of Milwaukee” the pilot said. “Go evasive!" the copilot yelled. "No good, they're matching our course and speed!" the pilot yelled. "This heap got weapons?" Eve yelled. "A minigun on the roof and below! Our plasma cannons can't hit something that fast!” the copilot replied. Eve climbed into the gunner seat and swiveled the dome. 5 drones were closing in fast. Eve fired her minigun along with her guard firing his. It was difficult trying to hit them as the shuttle weaved back and forth. The shuttle rocked as it was it by enemy fire. Eve celebrated when she downed a drone. After a few minutes of dogfighting, there was only one left. The drone fired from a blind spot and struck the secondary engine. "Engine two is gone! Losing power in engine one! I can't keep us airborne!" the pilot yelled. The shuttle slowed down and started to lose altitude. This spelled the end for it. The drone used its superior speed and strafed the shuttle.

 

The shots tore the hull apart and the shuttle began to break apart in the air. Eve was thrown clear. She scrambled to activate her flight system before she could slam into the unforgiving earth. It actives and she pulled up just before she hit. She landed softly and watched the splintered hull fall. It slammed into the ground and exploded with such force Eve could see the shock wave ripple across the grassy field. Eve was scared. She knew she had to be in hostile territory since it was patrolled by drones. She needed her weapons. Eve ran toward the burning wreck hoping her weapons made it through the crash. What she saw made her realize it was fruitless.

 

When she closed her eyes and wondered what she should do next, she felt a hand on her ankle. "You...must...go to Toronto" the man said. It was her guard from earlier. He was bleeding from the mouth. He had been thrown clear of the doomed craft but he didn't have a flight pack like Eve did. He hit the ground from 6 miles up. He touched a small pad on the briefcase and a computerized voice said "biometrics confirmed". "Here use these to get there. Please you must..." he said before dying. Eve grabbed her weapon, her plasma grenade, and a GPS that had coordinates to the base in Toronto.

 

 Eve had no time to bury him. She switched on the GPS and saw she was near the Wisconsin/Michigan border. Eve began her long walk. Hours later, she rested near a river. The cool water felt good on her tired bare feet. She was startled by the sound of a deer and her stomach growled. Remembering her survival training, she snatched the deer up before it could run and jammed it into her mouth. She noisily chewed it up. The bones crunching nauseated her but she needed nourishment. It surprised her when a bear showed up out of nowhere. "It must have been tracking that deer. Sorry little guy but I'm still hungry" she said picking it up. Of course this one had some fight in it.  The bear clawed at her fingers and actually broke the skin causing her to bleed. "Ow goddammit!" she yelled squeezing the bear. The bear made a gurgling howl before it went limp. Eve tossed him into her mouth but didn't chew it. His fur tasted horrible and she quickly gulped it down. Feeling better, Eve drifted off to sleep.

 

Her nap was interrupted by the sound of a shuttle. Eve got up and followed it seeing it was slowing down to land. She hoped it was a rescue team. Her hopes were dashed when she saw the soldiers not wearing the resistance uniforms. It was three Ingress; two female and one male. They had landed next to a farm and were walking toward it. "Come out! The census had selected you for the blood tax" the female leader shouted. Eve watched as two men, woman, a teen boy, and a younger girl stepped out of the home. "Please have mercy, select someone else!" the woman yelled. The giantess ignored her pleas. "Can this one ejaculate?" she said pointing to the teen boy. "N...no ma'am. He isn't old enough!" the woman said. The giantess eyed her with suspicion. She snatched the boy up to get a better look. "You say no but he looks to be 13 or 14. Maybe I'll test him to see if he can or not" she said ripping the boy's pants and underwear off. She enveloped his crotch into her mouth and began to suck hard.

 

The boy grimaced from the sucking mouth on his tiny cock. The giantess was having fun raping the boy with her mouth and took the chance to "stimulate" him by squeezing his tiny ass. The boy tried to hold out but when he felt her tongue brush up against his shaft he came. The giantess smiled tasting his salty load and pulled him out of her mouth. "He's old enough" she said giving the boy over to her female friend who held a cage. She dropped the boy inside. "What of this one? Has she bled yet?" the giantess asked. The woman sobbed no. The giantess didn't trust her and grabbed the crying girl. "Hmm...maybe you're right about this one. Looks to be 11" she said putting her back down. "Hey she might bleed in a few months. We should take her" the male giant said.

 

“Please no!” the woman said hugging the girl. The commander motioned to him to take her. The giant pulled the two apart. “Put them back right now!” the man said. The commander just rolled her eyes and raised her boot over him. The man and woman barely had time to scream before she slammed it down on his body. He didn’t make so much a crunch but a smoosh due to the soft ground. “Daddy!” the young girl screamed from the giant’s grasp. “My husband! How could you?!” the woman cried. “No worries. You still have that male to make children with” the cruel giantess said. “He’s my son” the woman sobbed. “A male is a male. Make more children before you’re chosen again for the blood tax” the giantess said walking back to the shuttle. 

Eve wanted to kill them right there and debated whether she should try. She decided not to. She figured she may be able to kill two of them but the one standing next to the shuttle might get away or worse turn its weapons on her. She watched helpless as they flew away. She wanted to approach the woman and her son but she knew her presence would nothing but increase their pain. She pulled out her GPS and started walking again.

 

She walked through the night and came across an Ingress encampment. Inside was the shuttle from earlier. She saw two Ingress sleeping outside enjoying the air but not the third. She reasoned the other must have been in the shuttle. This time she chose to engage them. She pulled out a small (for her anyway) blade and crept into the camp. She neared the first one; the female who stood near the shuttle and very quietly slit her throat. She woke up instantly but Eve’s hand over her mouth muffled her gurgling cries for help. Eve looked around and saw the other hadn’t woken up. It was the male who near him was a cage containing the girl. Eve looked with pity when she saw that the girl was naked and dripping wet from saliva. She grabbed his throat and squeezed. The giant woke up and opened his mouth to try to breathe. “You want to taste something? Taste this” she said ramming her blade into his mouth all the through. His eyes went lifeless and she pulled out her crimson-stained blade. The girl woke up and instinctively backed away from Eve. Eve put her finger over her lips “shh”.

 

The girl watched confused as Eve gently opened the door to the shuttle. Inside was the commander raping the shit out of the teen. “Oh fuck I wish I could keep you to myself! The way you squirm inside me feels so good! OH YES!” she screamed as she pinched her nipples. She didn’t notice Eve until it was too late. “Who the fuck are you!” the giantess yelled trying to stand up from her orgasm. “A bad day” Eve said raising her positron weapon. The woman tried to rush her and was shot in the stomach for her troubles. She fell to the deck with a smoking hole the size of a beach ball in her belly. Eve bent down and reached into the dead giantess’ cunt. Eve found what she was looking for and pulled the teen out. He was alive, barely, and coughed out the pussy juice he swallowed trying to breathe.

 

He looked up at her with primal fear. Eve began wiping the cum and juices off of him. “Don’t be afraid. I will not harm you” Eve said.  She saw the boy still fearful of her. She felt so sorry for him. His tiny warm body shivering from cold and fear in her palm made him feel like some small animal akin to a mouse to a human. “I’m with the resistance” Eve said half-lying. The boy stopped being so afraid. “Y-you are?” the boy asked. “Yes, I’m heading toward Toronto” she said. “Oh god my sister!” he yelled. She carried him to where the giant laid and saw that she was okay. She let him walk out of her palm and opened the cage to free his sister.  They both hugged each other. It took a minute to calm her down.

 

“Come. I’ll take you back home” she said carrying them back to the shuttle. She got behind the controls and flew them back to their home. The mother, who was trying with her son to bury her husband, watched in horror seeing the shuttle come back. She wanted to hide but knew that was futile. She prayed they would spare her. Imagine her surprise when Eve stepped out carrying her kids. She sat them down on the ground and watched as they ran to get their mother. “Oh thank god!” the woman said hugging her children. “She saved us mom” the teen said pointing to Eve. “I can’t thank you enough” the woman said crying. “No thanks are necessary. I have to go now. I’m needed in Toronto” Eve said.

 

"That airspace is controlled by the Empire" the older teen said. "Damn. The safe route must have been in the shuttle's navcomm when it went down. This GPS doesn't have it" Eve said to herself. "Please you must help us. They come and take our children away for the blood tax. Soon there will be no one left!" the woman cried. "I'd like to help but..." Eve said looking in her pleading face. "There might be a way where we both get what we want" the older teen said. "What do you mean?" Eve asked. "My brother and sister was being taken to where the others to in this area; Holding Facility 7. That area also doubles as an early warning post for airspace incursions" the older teen said. "Yeah but I bet it has enough troops to defend it. I can't take that on by myself!" Eve said. "You won't have to" the older teen said. The teen walked towards the barn with a curious Eve following.

 

"No Chris! You can't do this! I won't lose someone else!" the woman said tugging on Chris' arm. "Chris?! It can't be!" Eve thought trying to get a better look at the boy. Eve was stunned to realize it was her boyfriend from where she came from but this Chris seemed...different. "It has to be done mom. If we don't do something then we end up dead or worse eventually" he said pulling away from her. The teen disappeared into the barn. A minute later, the ground nearby opened up. Eve watched as a familiar machine rose out from the ground. It was his father's STRIKE. The machine walked over to Eve.

 

"You have a STRIKE!" Eve asked. "It was dad's during the war. He kept it just in case he ever needed it again. This time he didn't have enough time..." Chris said trying not to cry. "I understand. If we're going then we need to go" Eve said. Bidding them goodbye, Chris took boarded the shuttle along with Eve.

 

"Once one of their captives escaped from the facility. Told us some about it. It's in Flint and has about 8 Ingress guarding it" Chris said. "Why so few?" Eve asked. "I think they prefer it that way. The one that escaped said they...have fun with the captives. Guess they don't want interference from outsiders" Chris said. "Then we might pull this off" Eve said. "Maybe" Chris muttered. Eve read the logs on the ship as they neared Flint hoping they contained the proper clearance. They did. "Shuttle 458. State your clearance code for landing" a voice said over the comm. "Code is X18999" Eve said hoping they let her land. "...code accepted. Cleared for landing" the voice said.

 

"Here comes some more for processing" one male giant said. "Wonder if they are nice looking" the other giant said. "Even if they are you’re on probation for eating one without permission" the giant said. "Not my fault the stupid bitch fell down my throat" the other giant said. "Yeah you keep telling yourself that" his friend said. Eve opened the hatch with Chris standing behind her. The two giants were confused. They've never seen her before or her uniform. "Close your eyes" Chris said. Chris fired a positron blast from his cannon striking one giant and killing him. "Switch to saber mode" Eve said to her weapon.

 

It transformed into a sword with a heavy hilt topped with a glowing red blade. Eve rushed the shocked giant and skewered him. "Two down. 6 to go!" Chris said rushing forward. The two demolished the door leading into the facility. The alarms went off blowing their advantage of surprise. "Switch to magnum mode!" Eve said. The weapon changed from a sword to a heavy pistol. Two Ingress appeared in the hallway and started shooting at them as they took cover.  We got 20 minutes tops before reinforcements show up! “Chris yelled. “How do you know that?" Eve asked. "This AI in here is very talkative. As soon as Sarah 266 told me her name she began to give me a tactical report on everything around us for 100 miles!" Chris said firing off a plasma shot.

 

After a few minutes of exchanging fire. Eve and Chris noticed movement behind them. "They're trying to flank us!" Eve said. "On it!" Chris yelled. Chris charged a positron shot and waited. He knew they would have to try to break cover to take a shot at them from that angle. One popped his head out to get a shot off and was met with a red beam to the face. The headless giantess fell to the floor next to her scared shitless friend. Eve heard an ominous whir spinning up. Someone was going to use a grenade. "Switch to burst mode!" Eve yelled. The pistol transformed back into her burst rifle. Eve waited and saw an arm raised with a cooked grenade in its hand. Eve let off multiple rounds which one of them hit the grenade. The blast killed the two hiding in cover and set off the sprinklers. "Two left" Chris said breaking cover. He ran toward where the other giantess was hiding. The water streaked off his hull as he splashed toward her. The frightened giantess was holding her pistol trying to summon courage to peak out to find her target.

 

Chris happened on her in an instant. He saw that she was far younger than he thought. Barely 14 and judging from her age and height concluded she must have been a hybrid. Chris hesitated along with the girl. The girl threw down her weapon. "Please don't shoot! I surrender!" she cried. Chris thought for a second. He then realized she had played a part in capturing the humans for the blood tax and seeing how she was part human made it all the worse. What sealed her fate was when he remembered his father's body smashed into the fertile soil of his family's farm. He closed his eyes and fired. He didn't stop unit he heard Eve yelling for him to stop shooting. When he opened his eyes he saw what he had done and vomited. This once cute giantess was dead. Her face was unrecognizable now and the signs of her death coated his hull a sickening shade of brains and blood.

 

"We have to go" Eve said. Chris said nothing and proceeded down the hall. "Eve we got a problem. They got at least 40 people here. We can't just leave them" Chris said looking at the infrared scan of a room. "Alright, we need something to carry them in" Eve said looking around. She found what she was looking for. A toolbox the size of a charter bus was sitting in a maintenance locker. They entered the room and saw three cages full of humans. They were frightened of Eve but saw the STRIKE. "We're with the resistance. Please don't be afraid" Eve said opening the cages. She gently put them into the toolbox and made her way to her main objective. The command room housed the radar and communications controls. Eve shot them to shit with her rifle. "We got to make tracks. Before I fucked up the radar I saw three inbounds" she said. "Then let's go" Chris said coldly. They boarded the shuttle and took off with just 3 minutes to spare.

 

"We need to stay low to avoid their shuttle's radar. Eve said setting the flight plan. Chris said nothing as he got out of his machine. Eve wanted to comfort him seeing how the look of shock was plastered to his face. She loved him even if he was somehow different from the Chris she knew before. It pained her to see him this way. Eve looked at the clock. It said 0343. She figured that at the speed she was traveling she would arrive in just under two hours. She put the shuttle on autopilot and began to doze off.

 

Her dreams were chaotic and confusing. At one moment she's with her Chris and next thing she sees is a bright blue flash. She opened her eyes and where Chris stood is just ashes. Everything is burning, the city, the streets, everything. Eve screamed. She woke up and looked around. It was 0515 on the clock. She looked over to where the humans and Chris were. Astonishingly, her scream didn't wake them up. The sky in front of them tinged with red. Eve gently picks Chris up and carries him to the dashboard. "Chris wake up. You should see this" she said. Chris stirred from his sleep. "What is it? Did they find us?" Chris said quietly. "No, I thought you should see this" she said. They watched the sun rise and fill the darkened sky with light. "I'm sorry for what happened to you yesterday but you are like the Sun to those people over there. You brightened their future. No matter how dark things get there's always the light. That's what daddy used to say to me when I asked him about the war" Eve said to him patting his head. Chris smiled and wiped away a tear.

 

10 minutes later they could see the outskirts of Toronto. It was destroyed like so many other cities but curiously had no telltale signs of occupation. The sky began to light up with AA fire. "Hold you fire! I'm with the Resistance!" Eve shouted. "State your name and rank!" a voice shouted. "2nd Lt. Eve Pherson” Eve shouted. "...follow your escort. Deviate and you will be shot down" the voice said. A minute later, two Valkyries led by a STRIKE surrounded them and escorted them to the base near the center of town. Eve and Chris stepped out of the shuttle and were surrounded by STRIKEs, soldiers, and Ingress. They searched the ship and found the humans. "We got civvies" a soldier yelled. "We had to take out a blood tax hub. We couldn't leave them there" Chris said. "That sounds commendable" a voice said coming toward them. "Ned!" Eve yelled running toward him. The Ingress tackled her and held her to the floor. "At ease. If she wanted me dead she could have used those cannons on the shuttle" Ned said.

 

The soldiers got off of Eve. "She's still a security risk sir" a female Ingress said. "Indeed Sgt. Steele. Confiscate her weapons until further notice and take them to be analyzed. Eve come with me. Undoubtedly we have questions for you." Ned said. "Likewise" Eve said getting back up.

 

"Come and sit down. Tell me about where you came from" Ned told her. Eve told him about how the war ended on her world and how peace and prosperity came to be on Earth. Ned was surprised to hear that he became a politician. "So where you came from I was a bureaucrat and the legal father of Amanda. Leila and Aaron lived happily and the humans and Ingress found mutual peace. Sounds like a fairy tale compared to this" Ned said. "What is this place? Everything is all fucked up!" Eve said. “From what I gathered from your story, everything is the same right up to the point of the final battle. Aaron and Leila died during that fight. They were killed by a high powered missile. With their loss, we lost the momentum of the fight. The Empress appeared and launched a counterattack on our forces.”

 

“The battle bogged down to a near stalemate. We realized all too late they were buying time to launch the Ark. When the Ark became airborne, they turned its weapons that were underneath it on the battlefield. The battle was over in less than 5 minutes. Rex and Chen fell trying to desperately take out the defenses underneath. Jack…Jack was killed when they fired a short charged plasma turret blast at the bulk of our forces. They called for us to retreat. By the time we had, I was all that remained of the Stray Dogs. We had lost 90% of our forces and it didn’t end there. We beat the Ark back to HQ by only minutes and began to evac everyone we could. Transport after transport took off until the final moment. The Ark began firing at the base from long range trying to take out the flights going out. I grabbed Lisa and Amanda since they was near me. Cindy had you and Karen and told us they would meet us with us at the fallback point. The last thing I saw as we took off was the Ark firing a plasma blast. I saw your transport get caught in the blast. Then next thing I saw was a mushroom cloud and debris.”

 

“After the battle, we couldn’t stop what was to come. The Ark restarted Project Baikonur and this time they succeeded.  In less than two days, every major city and every town big enough to be deemed “unnecessary” was obliterated. By the end of the week, the human population had been reduced by 85%. Billions were lost forever” Ned said solemnly. “What about the colonies, the Lunar League?!” Eve asked. “The Lunar League did what it could. They took in refugees but it proved futile. While the Ark was in space, a last ditch effort went into destroying it. They succeeded at a horrible cost. The Artemis Ascendant engaged it over the Sea of Tranquility when it came to destroy the nation. When it became clear that the Ark was too powerful even for it, they did a kamikaze run into it. The blast was seen all the way on Earth. Luna City was gone. Destroyed by a blast not seen in this star system since the days of the dinosaurs. On a clear night you can see the crater it formed” Ned said.

 

“And the Empress?” Eve asked. “Went up with the Ark thank god but shortly after her death someone else took over” Ned said typing in something on his computer console. “She calls herself the Regent. Little is known about her even to the Ingress. Like she just popped up out of nowhere 15 years ago” Ned said. Eve recognized the face. She was older for sure but it was definitely her. “That’s the bitch who attacked Stardust R&D!” Eve yelled. “You mentioned that earlier about some plan to transport people from one place to another in the same dimension. Hmm…come with me. I think I have an idea what may have happened to you” Ned said. Eve followed Ned and wanted to ask another question that bothered her every time she saw their uniforms. “Ned, why are you with Omega? Mom and dad told me some about the time you were with them so why?” Eve asked. “Ah, yes that. With the Union forces destroyed, the only fighting force left was Omega. They united what was left into a resistance force spread throughout the world.  It took the enslavement of the world and near extinction before Omega changed their attitude about Ingress serving with them.  Their motto is “We saw it coming”. Even with their help though…it just doesn’t look good for humanity. The Ingress repopulate with hybrids at a faster rate than humanity can. They turned the colonies into rape camps in space and then there’s the blood tax” Ned said.

 

“Yes, I ran into that already” Eve said. “Then you know the Ingress cultivate humans of reproductive age for breeding purposes” Ned said. “Yeah I gathered that” Eve said. “That’s why we really want to find out about you. Any advantage we can get would be helpful. Jennifer has her hands full keeping the Ingress out of Russia and then Brandon…well he does what he thinks is necessary” Ned said quietly.

 

“Brandon…” Eve said with contempt. Brandon is the son of Jennifer and Aaron and consequently the half-brother of Eve. She had  met him twice, once when she was 7. Jennifer had brought him to a conference held to discuss the possible threat the isolationist Shangri-La state could be. Leila chose not to be present for fear of losing her temper knowing that Jennifer would be there. It was a good thing too seeing how she brought her son to meet his father. Aaron was playing with Eve in the courtyard during a deliberation and Jennifer chose that time to see him. "Lovely day isn't it Aaron" Jennifer said. Aaron glanced over at her. "It was till you showed up. What did you think you were doing when you called me earlier?" Aaron said. Eve wondered why her daddy looked so pissed.

 

"I felt it was long overdue that you meet someone. Say hello to your daddy Brandon" she said. The boy hiding behind her popped his head out. "Hello" he said. Aaron took a sharp breath. He knew he had a son and he wondered how he would feel about meeting him. Aaron smiled at him. He knew he couldn't help the circumstances behind his birth and being a cutie that looked like him did help. "Hi Brandon, I'm your dad" Aaron said holing out his arms. Brandon tiptoed over to him and was surprised when he was hugged. His smile disappeared when Eve bent down to see him. He broke out of the hug and hid behind Jennifer. "Dad, who is he?" Eve asked. "He's...your brother" Aaron said. "He's tiny! Brandon...will you play with me?" Eve said holding out her finger. "Stay away! Make her leave mommy!" the boy cried.

 

Eve, being young, didn't take the rejection well. She backed away and sat down near a fountain and silently cried. "Jesus, Jen. What have you been teaching him?" Aaron asked. "What do you mean? He's 6 Aaron. It's natural he might be scared of a giant girl" Jennifer said. "Bullshit Jen. I've seen kids his age play with Ingress or hybrids. I might buy the fear part but I know revulsion when I see it" Aaron said pissed. "How I raise my kid is my own business" Jennifer said. "Our kid. How convenient you forget he's my son too when things doesn't fall into your bigot world" Aaron said. Jennifer grit her teeth. "Come along Brandon. Your father rather spend time with his giant daughter than you right now" Jennifer said walking away. "Fucking bitch. Poisoning the kid from the get go and then says that shit walking away. Oh damn Eve" Aaron said checking on his daughter.

 

Eve was still crying when he walked over to her. He tried getting her attention by tapping her leg. Aaron shook his head and sat down next to her sandaled foot. He tapped her big toe to get her attention. "Daddy!" she said scooping up her small father. "Eve" he said stroking her wet cheek. "Why was he so mean to me if he's my brother?!" she cried. "Honey, sometimes...sometimes mommy and daddies teach mean things to their kids and kids say or do those mean things. It's not their fault and its harder to deal with when they are family. He is your brother so don't be sad because he's mean to you it's not his fault" Aaron said looking into those reddened eyes of hers. "I just wanted to play with him" she said sniffling. Aaron kissed her cheek. "I know honey. Come here. Someone needs a face hug" Aaron said pressing his body into his daughter's cheek and hugging it with all the love a father could.

 

Eve saw Brandon a few years later. They were both 13 now and a little more grown up. Eve was skipping home from school and noticed a boy standing outside her home. "Can I help you?" she asked him. The boy turned around and looked up. When he did Eve saw his face a recognized it. "Brandon, is that you?" she asked. "Yeah, where's my dad" he asked curtly. "Our dad isn't home. He's on assignment" she replied. "Pfft. Whatever" he said walking away. "Wait, why did you come here?" she asked. "I wanted to get a recommendation from dad to join the Union Academy" he replied. "That's it? That's all?!" Eve said. "Why else would I come?" he asked. "I don't know maybe to send time with him. God forbid you'd want to spend time with your sister!" Eve yelled. "Why the fuck would I want to spend time with some mongrel freak?" Brandon said.

 

Eve got angry and snatched the kid from the street. She held him close enough to her face that he could feel her moist breath on his face. "You're an asshole. Daddy once told me you couldn't help feeling a certain way around people like me but I see now you like feeling that way. You chose to feel that way. Don't ever come here again. You so much as pass my house and I'll forget you're my brother" Eve said putting him down. Brandon wisely took off. Eve stepped in her home and slammed the door. "Eve is that you sweetie?" Leila said looking away from the tv. "Eve honey, why are you" she asked before Eve tore up the steps and slammed her bedroom door shut. Eve buried her face in a pillow the size of a small house and cried.

 

  "Sir , you should come down here" a voice said in Ned's office. "On my way. Young lady?" Ned said gesturing her to follow. They made their way down the corridor while Eve took in what he said had happened. She noticed something he had left out. "Ned, you mentioned you were the last Stray Dog. What about Atreya?" she asked. "Atreya...defected back to the Empire. She went missing during the battle and turned up a month later on their side" Ned said solemly. "Why?! What about Matt her husband?!" Eve yelled. Ned turned to her surprised to hear she had gotten married on her world. "We don't know why she defected just that she did" Ned said opening a door at the end of the corridor. "What have you found out?" Ned asked a tech.

 

"It's incredible sir! Her gun has some kind of variable geometry design incorporated into it. We can't get it to work though" he said. Eve picked it up. "It's keyed into my biometrics. Switch to shotgun mode" she told it. It transformed into a plasma shotgun before she put it back down. "It's a remarkable piece of technology. Similar in design to the positron cannon on the STRIKE's but way more advanced. Her shield system is woven into her uniform judging by the scan they took in Lawrence. Dear lady what is that on your back?" the tech asked. "A combat shroud. Flight system and miniature targeting HUD tied into my positron weapon" she replied getting creeped out by the man circling her. "Lt. Hudson. Eve here has told me a very unusual tale and judging from what you told me how advanced her weapons are is proving my theory more right. What is that disc she was carrying?" Ned asked.

 

"I don't know for sure. Some components are similar to a dimensional transport pad used on the homeworld. I'd dare say it's an offshoot of that" he said. "You dare correctly. It's supposed to be a transport system to move one person or thing from one place to another by slipping between dimensions, or so Karen told me" Eve said. "Do you recall anything else she said?" Ned asked. "Something about space/time? Eve asked confused. "Space/ time coordinates?" Ned asked. "Yeah that's it! How did you know?" Eve asked. "I was a scientist once upon a time" Ned smiled. "Eve what exactly happened till the moment you left your world?" Ned asked.

 

"Well this woman burst into the lab and we fought. She grabbed the device and then I tackled her. All of a sudden this tunnel of energy swallows us up. We punched and kicked each other as we flew through it and then she kicked me and hit the tunnel wall and disappeared. I reach the end of the tunnel and then woke with a splitting headache in Lawrence" Eve said. "Eve I think you just confirmed my theory. You didn't come from some other dimension you're for an alternate timeline! It all makes sense now!" Ned yelled. "Not following you Ned" Eve said confused. "Alright think about this. The idea is if you want to transport somewhere you need 8 coordinates. 6 is for the destination and the 7th is for point of origin. Now here's where it gets wild. You also need an 8th coordinate; time. Since space and time are interwoven you'd need a temporal coordinate for it to work!" Ned yelled in full geek mode.

 

"How is time a coordinate?" Eve asked. Ned held out his hand. "Where is my hand?" he asked. "Hanging in the air in front of me duh" Eve said wondering if he thought she was an idiot. "Really? 20,000 years ago it might be inside a glacier. Time is important as all the other coordinates.  When that woman disappeared before she reached the destination indicated by the end of that tunnel, she must have popped out somewhere 15 years ago. My god, armed with knowledge of the future, she knew where and when to kill your parents and change history!" Ned said. "If this is my world then how do I fix it!?" Eve yelled. "The only way to do that would be to go back in time to stop her" Ned said.

 

Eve picked up the device. "Whoa wait a minute young lady!" the tech said. "What happened was a fluke! That woman could have ended up anywhere in time! You try to do what she did and you could wind up a million years in the past!" he yelled. "I can't just do nothing" Eve said upset. "We don't intend to do nothing. We'll help you go back. Set things right again right Hudson?” Ned asked. “I…I think so. It might take some time. This is pretty advanced stuff here. Whoever this Karen was, she was a genius. Looks like it’s a matter of program code and some hardware tweaking. Give me a day or two okay?” Hudson said. “You can do it?!” Eve asked hopeful. “If Hudson says he can do then he can do it. This dude programmed the auto-defense systems for the whole base” Ned said.  Eve smiled and started to get dizzy.

 

“Whoa easy there! Maybe you should get something to eat and get some sleep” Ned told her. “Yeah I think I will” Eve said. Eve went to the canteen and got some food. She noticed the stares she got from the soldiers there. After a few minutes, it got to her. “WHAT! What is it!” she yelled. Everyone looked at each other and one stood up and walked over to her. “Are you really Eve Pherson?” a female Ingress asked. Eve chewed her food and nodded. “Holy shit she is! How are you alive!? We heard the messiah child died in the end days of the war!” the giantess asked. Eve slammed her fist down on the table startling the woman. “Everywhere and I mean everywhere people call me that! I’m just a person dammit! I hated being called that as a kid and I hate it now! I am Eve Pherson not messiah child!” she screamed.

 

“Look we meant nothing by it. We just wondered where you’ve been. We could have used you at least for a symbol of hope” the annoyed giantess said. Before Eve could bust her in the face for her arrogance, a voice cried out. “Leave her alone. She doesn’t have to explain herself to any of you if she doesn’t feel like it” Chris said walking closer. “What’s it to you little man?” the giantess asked. “None of your fucking business” Chris said.  “You little shit! Show some fucking respect!” the giantess yelled flexing her hand. Eve punched her in the face so hard she hit the table falling down. “To get respect you have to give it first” Eve said to the dazed giantess. Eve walked out of the room followed by Chris. She was so angry she didn’t see him following her.

 

Eve sat on her bed and held her head in her hands. “You alright?” Chris asked. Eve quickly looked up not knowing she wasn’t alone. “Far from alright. Thanks for sticking up for me” she said. “Not a problem” he said walking up to her leg and patting it. Eve looked at him intensely and started crying. “Eve! Eve what’s wrong!?” Chris said worried. Eve told him what had happened to her. She told him where she was from, what her world was like, and more importantly, about him and her. “I…I don’t know what to say. I saw how you look at me sometimes but I didn’t know it was because of this” Chris said stunned. “Well now you know. I getting some sleep Chris, goodnight” Eve said lying back on the bed.

 

Chris climbed up onto the giant bed and walked close to her face. “I might not be your Chris but I can tell you he’s a lucky guy to have such a sweet girl” Chris said walking back to the edge of the bed. “Wait” Eve said using her hand to block his movement. “You’re not my Chris but you’re more alike than you think. When I see you I think of him and can’t help but love you. Sorry for putting that on you” Eve said.  Chris petted her finger. “The truth is…I do have feelings for you. I…sorry. This isn’t right. I shouldn’t be…” he said before he felt her lift him up to her face. Eve kissed him. “All I know is in this world is a Chris that I love and for now that’s enough for me” Eve told him. They both began to passionately kiss each other.

 

Eve began to undress him slowly. She petted his tiny chest smiling and giggling. When he was naked she began to take off her clothes. She noticed the teen getting hard looking at her perky tits. Eve looked deep into his eyes. “I’ll be gentle I promise” she said seeing how he tensed up a little. She slowly sucked his tiny dick into her mouth and gently sucked it. Chris moaned from the wet and warm feeling. It was different from when the giantess raped him earlier. He could feel her tenderness and love with each tiny suck. Chris began to instinctively fuck her mouth. Eve laid back and let the tiny teen fuck her mouth as he lay on her face. The teen tensed up and Eve tasted his tiny semen on her palate. Chris pulled himself out of her mouth and sat indian style on her chin. Eve giggled and it caused him to tumble onto her chest right between her tits.

 

“What’s so funny” Chris asked. “You both taste the same. You even fucked my mouth the same” Eve giggled. “Oh really. Tell me, did he do this?” he asked walking onto her left tit and began to squeeze her nipple. Eve moaned. “Yeah, he does” Eve gasped. “What else did he do?” he asked. “He liked rub my clit” she said. Chris made his way to her pussy which was soaking wet and began to rub and squeeze her clit. Eve began to gasp and moan louder Chris liked the way she jerked and saw something that amused him further. He saw her toes scrunching and clenching. Chris stopped rubbing her clit and made his way to her right foot. He began to gently kiss her toes and then started licking them. He pushed her big and second toe apart (which was no small feat) and licked the space between them. “Bet he didn’t do that” Chris said. “You’re…wrong. He has done that” Eve said getting hotter. “This other Chris must have been a freak!” Chris said. “You don’t know the half of it. Now stop playing with me. You’re driving me crazy. I want you to fuck me” Eve said moaning. “Ask nicely” Chris said smiling. “Don’t make me beg. Please fuck me!” Eve said. “You got it babe” Chris said.

 

Chris made his way back to her pussy and began to fuck her. It felt so good to feel that way again for her even if it wasn’t her Chris. Her mind knew it was not her Chris but her body knew it was a Chris. She took her hand and pressed him to her harder. She had just enough sense to make sure she didn’t hurt him. It took her only a minute or two to cum. Chris felt an explosion of fluid around him. Eve was a squirter if there ever was one. Chris was soaked as he walked to her face. Eve’s face was flushed as she caught her breath. “You’re all sticky” she said giggling. “Thanks to you and your geyser crotch” Chris said laughing. “If you trust me I can clean you up” Eve said. Chris nodded. He did trust her seeing how she risked her life to save his. Eve moved her head and opened her mouth. She easily enveloped his tiny body in her mouth.

 

He was lying on her tongue in her hot, humid, mouth. Eve could taste him, his sweat and her natural sweetness made her mouth water. She was slightly tempted to swallow him but remembered what her mother told her once. Leila told her the time she did swallow her father. She told her as a warning knowing she was becoming interested in boys and wanted to prevent an accident.  Chris was actually getting off on what was happening. He felt himself get hard again as his shaft bumped along her taste buds. Eve tasted something saltier than last time and smiled realizing he had cum again. She pulled him out of her mouth. “There, squeaky clean” she said. “Thought you might eat me” Chris said. “Never gonna happen” she said patting his wet body. “Did you ever eat anyone before?” Chris asked. “Almost once.  I was 5 and a boy wanted to walk inside my mouth. He ended up falling down my throat. He got stuck and I started choking. Luckily for me and him my mom was there to give me the Heimlich” Eve said. Chris started laughing. “It’s not funny!” Eve yelled.

 

Chris apologized for laughing and the two talked for a few more hours about their lives. By the time they fell asleep they had learned a lesson. Love can transcend anything; even timelines.

 

Meanwhile in London…

 

The woman, known as the Regent, was relaxing. She had taken the day off from oppressing the planet and was enjoying the moment the best way she knew how; torturing humans. She was laying in bed dressed only in her nightgown with her back on the headboard. Even though she was now older and getting on in years, she still had a sex drive that needed to be satisfied every now and then. Sprawled out before her were a group of teenagers; victims of the blood tax for Kent. A boy and girl, both 14 and twins, were busy massaging her feet while another boy around 16 was fucking her pussy like his life depended on it because it did. A 17 year old girl wriggled in her right hand, screaming to be let go. "You know one of the perks of having human DNA be comparable with Ingress DNA is there are no state repercussions for being gay. Of course I am the state so it's double bonus for me. Now let's see how developed you are" the Regent said lowering the girl closer to her mouth.

 

The girl screamed seeing the cavernous mouth open for her. The Regent teased her by taking small licks of her bare feet and then slowly lowering her inside. The poor girl was waist deep in her mouth as the enormous lips of the giantess closed around them. The Regent began to suck on her like she was a Popsicle  the girl kicked her legs inside the mouth and beat her fists against the huge lips that led her in place. The girl could control how she felt and the giantess could taste her sweetness building. The cruel Ingress woman sucked the girl into her mouth like she was spaghetti. The tongue rape turned her on so much that the giantess took her hand and shoved the teen fucking her as deep as she could. "Oh yeah struggle! God that feeling never gets old!" she yelled. The teen inside her panicked as the walls throbbed and the air was being replaced with her fluids. The giantess came fiercely.

 

The poor teens near her feet didn't escape the orgasm. The boy rubbing her feet was struck by the force of her sole and was picked up with lightning speed by her clenched toes. Her toes clenched to tightly that they crushed the life out of him. His sister met her fate a little later. She was kicked off the bed and landed on the floor. Her big toe slamming into her chest broke her ribs and the 40 ft. fall didn't help. The only reason she was still living was the thick carpeting had cushioned the fall. It didn't stop her from breaking her legs though. The teen inside her cunt drowned but the teen in her mouth had a more grisly fate. When she came, she clamped her jaw shut and the girl just happened to be lying across a row of teeth. The Regent realized what happened when an explosion of salty, coppery flavor erupted in her mouth and of course the vibrating shriek. She just smiled at her mistake and chose to finish the job by chewing the rest of her up. The screams died down for every chew until they stopped completely. She swallowed the pulp and licked her mouth free of any lingering meat.

 

Her comm beeped. "What is it? I told you I'm taking off today" the Regent yelled. "Apologies milady it there was an attack on a early warning post in North America quadrant 1.6. It appears there may be another faction fighting for the humans" the voice said. "Really and why do you say that?" she asked annoyed. "Camera footage caught an Ingress wearing a uniform known to us" the voice said. "Send me the feed" she said with piqued interest. She saw the footage of Eve and was floored. "IMPOSSIBLE! There's no why she's alive! Wait...that uniform. That's a peacekeeper uniform! Peacekeepers don't exist in this timeline! Somehow...someway she followed me here. She can't be allowed to live. If she has the device and realizes what has happened here it could spell trouble" she thought.

 

"Do you have any other information regarding this incident?" she asked the voice on her comm. "We had a fix on the shuttle until the transponder went dead near the Canadian border" it said. "Meet in the the war room in 15 minutes" she ordered. The giantess stood up and pulled the dead teen out of her snatch. "No rest for the wicked" she told the lifeless teen before tossing him in her mouth and swallowing. She stepped around her room wondering how she should proceed. The 14 year old girl on the floor saw her sweaty pink sole descending down on her and let out a final scream before the end. *crunch*. The Regent looked down and saw a pool of blood seeping out from the bottom of her foot. She raised it up and saw it was one of the humans she was playing with earlier. "Wondering what happened to you. No matter. More where you came from and after tomorrow I'll make sure it stays that way" she chuckled evilly as she got her clothes to get dressed.

 

She made her way to the war room and ran into her favorite subject. "Afternoon Atreya.Tell me how long of you have left for the agreement is fulfilled" the Regent asked her. Atreya typed something on the keypad of her wristcomm. "20 years left ma'am" a synthesized voice said. "Better then 25 when you started out yes?" she asked. Atreya nodded. "It seemed like it was yesterday when you were sentenced to military servitude. I'm surprised they didn't execute you for your betrayal but then again I proposed a different sentence didn't i? Wonder if you're happy or not the Empress listened to me when I proposed a different approach to handling all the traitors to the Empire. Many committed suicide when they heard the conditions to becoming free again but not you. I wonder why. You have to kill a human to take off a day of servitude. So how many humans does 5 years make?" asked her.

 

Atreya said nothing. She didn't have the stomach to do the math. Atreya had a reason not to kill herself. She swore one day to kill the Regent. Every tyrant let's their guard down eventually but this Regent acted like she could predict what kind of person they were before they formally met (in truth she could with foreknowledge of the future). Atreya was never allowed to get no more close than 15 feet of her.   "Come Atreya, maybe we can shave off a year or two with this next mission" the Regent said walking to the war room.

 

"Bring up that region on satellite" she commanded. "The trail stops here 10 miles from Toronto" the giant said. "It stands to reason then they landed somewhere near the city. Bring it up on satellite as well" she said. "As you can see, nothing's there. She must have moved further north or possibly doubled back toward the west coast" he said. "Something's not right. Switch to infrared" she ordered. "We've tried that and found nothing" he said. The regent saw the infrared scan and gritted her teeth in anger. She backhanded the giant. "Incompetent fool! Can't you see what wrong with that picture?! It's in the middle of fucking July and there's a cold spot the size of a small town right there!" she yelled. "But milady, it is Canada" he said confused. "I don't care if it's fucking Anchorage!" The street can't be that cold. They're using holo cloak technology to mask themselves! I'm surrounded by fools! Mobilize the 9th division out of Chicago! Tell them to expect my arrival!" she yelled to them leaving the room. "Her arrival. She doesn't go into battle unless something's really going on" one man said. "Yeah last time it was because she found some Omega officer named Jennifer. What could it be this time?" he asked his friend. The Regent and Atreya left for Chicago later that evening.

 

Eve awoke the next morning and smiled at her naked boyfriend still snoozing on her warm stomach. "Time to wake up" she said tapping his back. "Morning pretty girl" he yawned. The two showered together and used that time to have some fun. The got dressed and walked out of her room. "Guess you two don't waste any time do you?" a female voice asked. Eve looked around and saw no one and then looked down. A face she had hoped that didn't succumb to the madness of this world smiled up at her. "Amanda! It's so good to see you!" Eve said bending down. "Wow so you really do know me. Guess you're the real deal or so my dad told me" Amanda said.

 

"It's nice to see you. I was afraid you were dead too" Eve said picking her up and putting her on her shoulder. "No I'm very much alive. Why, am I dead in your timeline?" Amanda asked. "No, you're doing just fine when I left" Eve said. "So...what am I doing there. I got to know" Amanda said curious. "You're a defense attorney with 2 kids" Eve said. "Did you say an attorney...with kids?!" Amanda asked. "Yeah 2 of them; both girls one is Carol and the other is Susan" Eve said walking to the canteen. "Who's the dad?" Amanda asked. "Some Ingress guy you defended for murder. You proved it was a frame job. Some sick bastard killed his wife and dumped acid all over her. Made it out like your client  had eaten her. It made headlines all over the world. After that one thing led to another and boom you guys were married" Eve said. "Sounds like a nice life" Amanda said quietly.

 

200 miles away and 40,000 ft. up...

 

"Time till our arrival?" the Regent asked. "ETA is 43 minutes. Expected time we will be picked up on radar is 33 minutes" her field commander replied. "Tell everyone to be prepared for assault in 30 minutes" she ordered. "By your command" her field officer said. The Regent had ordered an entire battle group to be sortied to Toronto. Over 3000 Ingress and 15 shuttles were making their way to the base. They flew so fast that underground communications couldn't warn Ned what was coming his way. Even if he knew, it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

 

Ned was looking for Eve to tell her the good news. His friend Hudson had just finished calibrating the coordinate lock system on the transport device and could leave at her leisure. He finally found her in the canteen talking to his adopted daughter Amanda. "There you are. Nice to see you smiling Eve and I got some news that'll keep you smiling. It's all ready" Ned said. "Already?" Eve said frowning. "I'd thought you'd be happy about this" Ned said confused. "I am really, it's just..." she said glancing over a Chris who was loading up on chow. "I understand. You don't have to go right now" Ned said recognizing that she had fond feelings for the boy. All of a sudden the alarms went off. "Report" Ned ordered. "Enemy combatants have just entered radar range. Number is...oh god...over 3000" the voice said over the comm. "Arm the defense systems and sound the full alert. Eve it looks like you have to go now after all" Ned said.

 

"Oh god did I lead them here?!" Eve shouted. "Possibly but there was no way we'd stay hidden forever. What's done is done. Concentrate on getting to the lab" Ned said.

All personnel in the base ran to their designated areas while the troops loaded up and geared out for a fight. Eve watched Amanda and Chris run to the hangar. "No Chris come with me!" Eve shouted. "I can't. I have to buy you time. Go Eve" he said hopping in his dad's old STRIKE.

 

"Fire the first bombardment!" the Regent shouted. The shuttles fired of a swarm of missiles at the base. The AA guns intercepted most of them but seeing how over 50 were streaking in there way no way to splash them all. They smashed past the holo-cloak and exploded hitting the ground. The blast destroyed part of the ceiling and collapsed into the hallway blocking Eve. She has to find another way and it would cost her time that she didn't have. Ned stood on the hanger deck watching STRIKE's and Ingress launch. He knew he was outnumbered 6 to 1 and wasn't scared. He saw another missile salvo coming in. "Wish we had a shield right about now. Aw fuck it. Time to show these fucks what I learned when I was captive. GO ON BRING THE RAIN! FUCKING BRING IT!" Ned said picking up a plasma vulcan and firing away.

 

The missiles were shot down by him but one was too close. It exploded and sent him flying through the air. Ned stood up coughing blood and seeing out of just one eye. "That all you got?" he hissed activating his flight pack and taking to the air. As the battle group neared the base, the AA focused on them. They began blowing the giants and giantess' out of the sky. However, their numbers were so many for every one that got shot down  three more took their place. The resistance waited till they crossed the AA line before engaging. 5 minutes later the AA guns were gone; blown away by plasma cannons on the shuttles. They had done a good job of whittling down the enemy numbers though. 470 Ingress dead and three shuttles shot down. Now it was time for face to face combat. The resistance put up a brave fight. Their ferocity surprised the Empire but ferocity would not win the day. Atreya shot down STRIKE after STRIKE and strafed the troops on the ground. If she had been counting, she would have earned 4 months off her sentence.

 

If she could speak she still would have said nothing. She wanted to help the resistance but she knew the three Ingress who always followed her would kill her in a second. Her handlers, as they were called, made sure she towed the line. Slowly, the resistance was pushed back to the base. In no time at all, they had made it to the base and was now systematically wiping it out from within. Eve heard the shouting and explosions getting closer. She gripped her weapon (thanking god she already had it with her) as she crawled through a ventilation shaft. She peeped out of a vent and could see them now fighting in the corridors. The only reason they hadn't gotten further in then they had already was their numbers were their disadvantage now. Her mind was not on finding a way into the lab but of her boyfriend.

 

All of a sudden, the vent collapsed from under her and she fell. She landed right in a firefight." OH SHIT!" she yelled.  Eve pulled out her weapon and began to fire at the enemy. Her weapon, being way more advanced, wiped out the 4 soldier squad in seconds. "You saved our ass!" a human soldier said. "You know a way to get to the lab other then the main one?" Eve asked. "Take corridor 7b and turn left then follow that corridor down. That's the equipment loading door for the lab!" he shouted. "Thanks!" Eve said running off. "Wish she stuck around" one soldier said. "You and me both brother" his friend said. Eve didn't know that this route would take her near the most intense part of the fighting.

 

As hardcore Ned could be, he was no fool. He knew this battle was lost. He had hoped to god Eve had made it but now he had another concern; a concern that only a parent would have. "Amanda your location!" Ned shouted over the comm. "South area level 2!" Amanda replied. "Get to my location on level 1!" Ned shouted. "But dad!" she cried. "That's an order young lady!" Ned yelled. Amanda withdrew knowing the enemy would gain a better position when she did. When she got there, she could see her father facing down 9 Ingress all by himself. "DAD!" she yelled charging in. She joined they fray and fired every weapon she had. Smoke and the smell of burnt flesh was heavy in the air.

 

Ned and Amanda thought they had succeeded. Their hopes were dashed when one Ingress man lunged out of the smoke cloud with a dagger. Ned shielded his daughter and was stabbed in the stomach. Ned glanced down at the wound before the giant withdrew the blade. Amanda screamed and jumped at him. If she hadn't been so crazed she might have noticed this giant's age and have gotten a clue that he might have been a vet from the war. His experience proved to be her undoing.

 

The giant had fought STRIKE's before and knew how to deal with one. With trained speed, he grabbed her small arm and with a quick motion slashed her armor. With it being depleted to dangerous levels already and he knowing that the armor had issues with dealing with melee weapons, his slash cut through the armor and destroyed many of her combat functions. She fired her only working weapon left, her autocannons. The giant took the hit and grinned with his blood seeping out from between his lips. He holstered his dagger and ripped the destroyed armor from around her cockpit. The giant smiled evilly as he saw the pilot was a pretty woman. Amanda felt herself being ripped from her seat and saw him toss the useless STRIKE to the side. Ned couldn't even move to stop what came next.

 

The giant opened his mouth. "Let me go! LET ME-" she said before his lips muted her yelling. He could feel her thrash about in his mouth and looked dead at Ned. "NO DON'T!" he screamed before he saw him swallow. He saw his beloved daughter, the one he saved years ago from being eaten, eaten before his eyes. Ned grasped for a weapon, any weapon, and found a discarded pistol. He weakly raised it at the giant. Before he could pull the trigger, a plasma bolt hit the giant and killed him.

 

15 seconds before...

 

Atreya's team about to touch down near where Ned and Amanda was. To her shock, she could see Ned on the floor bleeding out and the sight hurt her. She was his teammate once and hated seeing this. Her combat HUD saw something else. She saw the giant holding a familiar girl. She zoomed in on her. She was older no doubt but she knew it was Amanda. She watched in horror as she was eaten. "No more. NO MORE!" she thought. Atreya throttled back and let the three watching her fly past her. Atreya pulled out a sword and slashed one in the back. The other two saw what had happened and Atreya barrel rolled to the next one stabbing in through his back. The third however pulled out his rifle and started shooting. He realized too late that Atreya was a veteran herself. She easily dodged his panicked shot and swooped to his right. With a resolute, sharpened will that could cut iron, she attached a grenade to his face and kicked him. He spiraled away from her and disappeared in a blue hued blast of energy.  She looked back at Ned and and the giant standing next to him. She cursed herself for not doing this sooner and fired her rifle.

 

Atreya landed next to the stunned Ned. "Come to kill me traitor" Ned hissed between a cough of blood. Atreya turned her head to look at him and Ned saw the tears streaming from her eyes. It was you who fired that shot? Why would you help us after all this time?" Ned asked. Atreya looked at the destroyed STRIKE on the floor. Atreya hung her head and made a weird crying sound. Ned realized they had never given her voice back as she was with them. "Atreya...why did you leave us?" Ned asked sincerely. She typed on her keypad. "No choice. Captured. Enslaved." the synthetic voice said. Ned was speechless. He had hated her for 15 years for fighting for the Empire but now he saw it wasn't by choice. She was a POW of the worst kind; an enslaved one fighting against her friends and her beliefs. Ned felt like such a fool. "I...I didn't know" Ned said closing his eyes and feeling tears stream from them. Atreya weakly smiled until a beeping came from the HUD covering her left eye.

 

Atreya pointed out from the hangar. "More coming in huh? Let's show them how the Stray Dogs did it back in the old days" Ned using what strength he had left to stand. Two squads landed a minute later and Atreya and Ned just smiled. Ned used Atreya's body for leverage as he fired away with two rifles; one in each hand. Atreya fired her rifle with pinpoint accuracy. In less than two minutes, the two squads were dead. It wasn't over for them yet. Three squads touched down and aimed at the weary duo. Their shields were depleted and Ned was blacking out from blood loss. They knew it was the end. Atreya looked into Ned's eyes and pointed at her grenade belt. "Do it" he said starting to collapse. Atreya quickly typed something on her keypad and touched a grenade. She was shot in the chest and collapsed onto Ned. She died with a smile on her face. A soldier walked over to make sure they were dead. They couldn't hear the beeping from the belt since Ned's body was masking it.

 

"What was she typing there?" a male Ingress asked. "I...die...free" his female commander said just before the grenade belt went off and killed all who were in the hangar.

 

Eve felt the tremor from the blast as she rounded the corner leading to the lab. To her the corridor seemed to go on forever. As she got close, the wall came crashing down and a STRIKE and an enemy soldier appeared from the hole fighting. "Eve! Why haven't you left?!" a voice called out. "CHRIS! Hold on I'll help you!" Eve said raising her weapon. She couldn't get a shot off. They were too close together and moving too much. "Go! I'll hold them off. JUST GO!" he yelled. "I can't just leave you!" Eve shouted. "If you succeed then none of this will have happened! Please for everyone's sake including mine go!" he yelled. Eve ran. She ignored the sounds of plasma fire and groaning metal but couldn’t ignore the voice all too familiar.

 

“All this trouble over a young girl!” the Regent yelled stepping out of the hole the giantess who was struggling with Chris had made. Eve turned just in time to see her shoot Chris. His machine stopped moving. “YOU!” the giantess yelled seeing Eve. Eve made it into the lab just in time to slam the door blocking the Regent. Eve found the device and began to start the transport sequence. The Regent saw the vortex forming. “NOOOO!” she screamed as Eve stepped into it.

 

Eve floated through the yellow tunnel of energy with a seething anger. If looks could kill she could commit genocide. She gripped her weapon determined not to let that horrible future come to pass. “I won’t forget. I won’t forgive” she said to herself. The tunnel exit got brighter and a flash of light blinded her. When she opened her eyes she could see the Ark…and the final battle surrounding it. “Like stepping into a history book” she thought to herself. Eve looked around to see if the woman would be Regent was around. She didn’t see her but she knew she was out there. An explosion caught her eye. She focused her HUD on it and saw history unfolding. A STRIKE X shed its armor and flew at an Ingress with its sword drawn. “Dad told me about this. This is when Julie died” Eve said to herself. Eve dared not venture into the fight fearing her presence would disrupt the timeline. She wanted to fight thought; fight next to her dad. Eve watched the fight and was amazed how good a fighter he actually was.

 

“Dad’s friends said he was good but I never thought this good. He fights like a monster!” she thought. Then she saw the killing stroke and smiled. “Good for you dad” she said. Eve watched silently but cautiously over him and looked around for anything suspicious or possibly an enemy thinking she was with the Union of this time period. She saw her mother arrive on the scene. “Ned said they were alone together when they were killed” Eve thought looking around. Then she saw it. The missile that would doom not only Leila and Aaron but the entire world.

 

Eve locked on with her HUD over her eye and fired her positron rifle. The missile exploded very close to her parents. Eve didn’t want to interfere but she couldn’t take the chance of them being injured. She flew to them.

 

"Are you okay! Please tell me you're okay!" Eve asked hovering over them.

Aaron and Leila glanced up at her. Neither had met her before but she seemed familiar. "Thanks for saving us. What's your name? I don't recognize that uniform" Aaron said. "I'm sorry but I can't tell you that" Eve replied. Leila and Aaron looked at each other. "What you mean you can't?" Leila asked. "I'd like to know the name of someone who saves me, especially if she's pretty" Aaron said. Eve slightly blushed and didn’t notice the scowl on her mother’s face. "I want to tell you who I am but I can't. It would cause...complications. Just know I'm a friend. I have to go now and find the person who fired that missile. Take care" Eve said waving and smiling before she flew off. “Dad thought I was cute! Wait…EWWW! I think my dad just hit on me!” Eve said frowning.

 

Eve followed the vapor trail of the missile and saw a woman reloading a launcher. Eve took aim and fired. The woman glanced up at the last second and jumped out of the way. The beam struck the launcher and blew it to smithereens. The woman was hit by the concussion and was thrown a quarter mile into the grassy cliff face nearby. She glanced up to see who had taken the shot. “YOU! The bitch from the R&D lab!” she shouted. “Yeah me” Eve said landing close to her. Eve wanted to end this personally. She had made it personal without knowing when she shot Chris. “Thought I got rid of you in that fucking light tunnel. Guess you ended up stuck in the past like me” she said standing up with a drawn plasma SMG.

 

“Not quite. I’m taking you out before you can change the past” Eve said. “Good luck little girl. I owned your ass earlier” the woman said raising her SMG. “That was before when we were in close quarters and I’m not so little anymore! Switch to burst mode!” Eve yelled. Eve and the woman exchanged shots. Both dodged and closed their distance. The woman somersaulted over Eve to get the drop on her but Eve gave the woman a roundhouse right in the face causing the woman to eat dirt for the second time today and to drop her weapon. “Like that? My dad taught that to me when I turned 7” she said. “Who…are…you” the woman hissed. “A simple peacekeeper. Switch to saber mode” Eve said. The woman reached from behind her back and pulled out a curved bar which the cutting edge glowed blue just in time to parry Eve’s blow. The two exchanged blows amidst the explosions and chaos of the battle below.

 

“You don’t know who you’re messing with!” the woman yelled. “Neither do you” Eve said coldly. Each one would strike and the other would parry. Eve was getting the upper hand though. Her weapon was lighter and stronger than the plasma saber of her opponent. This meant fatigue would set in for the woman first and not Eve. She was slowing down and began to realize she wouldn’t win this fight. So what would a giantess do if she saw she would lose a fight? Simple, fight dirty.

 

The woman fell on her back the next time she parried and quickly scooped up some dirt and threw it in Eve’s face. Eve backed away to rub her eyes. “That’s how you wanna play it?! Activate Overclock mode!” Eve yelled into her weapon. Immediately the blade became longer and wider and cracked with energy. The giantess knew she was fucked if she tried to parry something like that and lunged at Eve. Her goal was not to kill her this time but to get at the transport device attached to her belt. “I’ll go back so far this time there will no way anyone could stop me! I’ll go back 250 years and conquer this world then! Everything will change and you will cease to exist!” the giantess cackled holding the device.  The giantess typed new coordinates into the keypad and pressed enter. Eve lunged at the woman in desperation just in time to fall into the opening vortex. They wrestled again in the vortex but this time Eve held on for dear life. “You like fighting dirty so I hope you like this!” Eve said head-butting the giantess. The giantess grimaced in pain from a broken nose and Eve used the distraction to type in her home coordinates. The tunnel sparked of energy and the direction of the tunnel changed.

 

The giantess turned just in time for her to see the blinding flash at the end. She opened her eyes and saw she wasn’t in Los Angeles circa 1898 but the same R&D room she had attacked earlier. Sure enough Karen was nursing her head on the floor and looked up to see her cousin rubbing her eyes and the woman who attacked her looking worse for the wear. “You ruined everything! No...It’s not too late!” the woman shouted picking up the device. Eve opened her eyes just in time to see her typing and tackled her. This time however the woman was ready for her. The woman stabbed her in the side with a dagger kept on her belt but this didn’t stop Eve. The two tried to overpower the other but seeing how the woman was bigger eventually won this clash. Eve grabbed the device just as the woman kicked her off of her.

 

Eve landed on the floor and slid next to the wall. Not leaving anything to chance, she typed in new coordinates. “Give me that!” the woman said ripping it from her hand just as she finished confirming the coordinates. The crazed woman didn’t notice that Eve had ripped off the keypad when she pulled the device from her. “Now to go back in time and rule this shitty world!” she said not realizing her coordinates had been changed. The woman hit the switch to activate the device and disappeared into the vortex. “Did she say go back in time!? We got to stop her!” Karen yelled standing up to help Eve. “It’s alright. She’s stuck in that time” Eve said feeling her nanomachines stopping the blood loss. “Even if she can’t return she can still fuck up the past!” Karen yelled panicking. “Trust me cuz. Where she’s going you don’t come back from” Eve said. “Where did she go?” Karan asked her. “Where she can be a part of history like she so badly wanted” Eve replied. “What happened to you guys? Where did that vortex take you?” Karen asked. “I’ll tell you later first I need to make a call and then get to the med center” Eve said opening a channel on her comm.

 

“Hey babe. What’s up?” Chris asked on the comm. “Nothing Chris. I just wanted to hear your voice” Eve said smiling with tears rolling down her cheeks. “Eve is something wrong? You sound funny” Chris asked. “Nothing’s wrong. Not anymore. Say let’s have dinner at your parents next weekend. I’d like to meet them” Eve said. “Uh sure that’s fine. See you then” Chris said closing the channel.

The woman who would have been Regent was already plotting what to do as soon as she arrived. She knew to crush the puny army base and then move on the city. Her mouth watered at the idea of eating the citizens of that time. When she opened her eyes after exiting the tunnel she immediately noticed something was wrong. She knew enough Earth culture to know that people used horse drawn buggies and trains to get around so why did she see cars and why was she surrounded by Asians? “Oh no…” she muttered. A lone, shiny, silvery airplane flew overhead and dropped something small. “No…No...NOOOO!” she screamed before a bright flash enveloped her.

 

“Detonation confirmed sir and…” the observer said to the pilot of the Enola Gay. “What is it?” the pilot asked. “Nothing sir. Must have been my imagination” he said dismissing the thought of a 200 ft. woman as a trick of the mind. The woman was vaporized completely by the atomic blast leaving nothing behind. No bones, no clothes and no witnesses to testify to the first sighting of the Ingress on Earth.
