Act 69: Crisis Control

The following month proceeded to be more eventful for everyone in the Land of the Sands. Stic made a public speech explaining how he wasn't a human, but he didn't go into more details about what a human really is or what they truly have done, it's just not the time for that yet...Then in the following weeks came some more worrying events. Caravans started going missing, the response to this was to start strengthening patrols along the routes but those started going missing too...he decided to ask help from the humans rather than the Avali this time. 
But some good news is that Drywell is now part of republic territory, after some inner turmoil amongst the nobility there it looks like the pokémon who was in charge fled with a guild somewhere and stole plenty of poke from the treasury while she was at it. So with no other choice the remaining nobles decided to simply allow the Republic to come in and that was the end of that, the whole Land of the Sands was officially New Sands Republic territory.
Now it's getting close to the end days of the month, and the Sandgun base is about to receive some harrowing news...That communication device that Mattias gave to the commander, that same one connected to the humans' network, began acting up, letting out small pulsing hums as it vibrated. 

It's rather curious, as the device has sat unused for quite some time. Not since that one day he first introduced it, in fact. The commander notices the device vibrating, and activates it via the method Mattias told him what now seems like months ago.

The holographic display of the comm device starts showing something it looks like a video and it has no audio.
The footage shown displays a group of pokémon walking in the desert somewhere and they got firearms on them, and further emphasize that there is zoom in on the rifles and submachine guns that these pokémon are carrying with themselves. They are heading towards another group of Pokémon that have carriages with them, must be merchants and their bodyguards. The armed pokémon went in rushing and shooting from the get go...
There is some static and now...it is showing more footage, looks like it's from the same event but after the fighting was all done, as expected the caravans and it's guards stood no chance, and there is even a good view of the bandits gunning someone down when they tried to make a run for it...probably just for fun too. There is one pokémon there in particular that is standing out amongst all of them, it looks like a Lucario, he seems to be giving orders to all these other crooks. They took everything, even the pokémon that were killed were put on one of the carriages...why though? Perhaps they are hiding their tracts and looking to make a meal out of them too. The other innocent mons seem to have been taken away as prisoners as the caravan got commandeered to head somewhere else from its original route, now under new ownership. The video comes to an abrupt halt when it looks like the Lucario seemed to have looked directly at who or what was recording all of this.

The commander watches on, his eyes going wide as it plays on. As the image fades, he lets out an audible groan.
"Mauta-Bal" He sighs in disgust. "And just when we finished downsizing our operations here in Sandstone." Indeed, with the threat of the Grove ended for now and the sands in firm control of the Republic, they had begun to downsize the supposedly redundant base. Some had looked to form bases elsewhere on the planet, spots in the so-called 'Snows' and 'Grove' were being scoped out. While other units, including the 'Night Witches', had been recalled to other planets for more important duties.
It has been several months since that one-off bandit with the rifle, and up until this moment, they had passed it off as exactly that: a one off, a single mon with a single functioning gun that they must have found from an ancient wrecked pirate ship or long lost USCM Cache.
But the commander knows now that there will be no sweeping this under the rug this time. This was one of their worst fears confirmed: bandits in the possession of what appear to be USCM ballistic weapons, and this time, with the knowledge to use them.
He thinks, trying to figure out what to do in the short term. He reaches over to the intercom, and presses the button.
"Mattias?" He asks in it. 

"Huh? Yes hello? What's going on?" Yeah that is Mattias alright. He sounds a little surprised but that's because this is actually the first time the Avali commander ever called him.
While they are talking there the third set of video footage is still being shown, this looks like to be in another part of the Sands. It shows another group of bandits, this one is pretty small though but they are heading for a small village and they are being led by a Tyranitar. But this Tyranitar is very different from the norm, and not just because of how monstrously big she is. Looks like her chest plate expanded, curving over her shoulders and along her back to form three long, irregular spikes on each side of her body.

"You need to get your butt over here and see all this." The commander informs him with no small amount of worry and panic in his voice as he watches the large dinosaur attack the village on the holotape.

"That sounds serious...i will be over there soon, let me just see this urgent message i got." He stays on the line for the moment. "Wait...what?! H-how did they got...?!" It sounds like he just began watching the the videos that the Avali commander just watched.
It looks like that Tyranitar is in some power high right now. She seems to tell her lackies to stay back as she approached the town...but stopped halfway. Then with a might stomp she seems to command the very sands around her, the results is a tidal wave of sand that buried that village in short order. They didn't had to fire a single shot from the guns they had, just that figuratively and literally buried the whole village and everyone living in it.
"Could it be...No i-it can't be them...!" Mattias still sounds like he is in disbelief at what he is seeing. He pulls himself together now. "...We have to do something. Damn it this is really not good..."

"We have a few. Unfortunately we've downsized our operations here in the last few months. The Night Witches were sent to undertake some... classified mission in miniknog space. We still have Nezo's pack here, but as far as battle-ready packs, that's as far as it goes. And they're currently out right now."

"Alright, I'm gonna make a few calls to try and get a few more people who can do field work and...bring some more of our tech for extra support. Now i- no...No!" Looks like he got interrupted by something he just saw, which must have been the last video that he is watching. "They weren't supposed to be able to do that! unless...fuck me..." He is kinda losing his shit again. "I am sorry, it's just...that Tyranitar is making use of something that it wasn't supposed to have, it could only have been handed to them like the guns were."

Making use of what?" The commander asks as he watches the giant beat go on a rampage. "What is going on?"

"Looks like whoever gave that to them had exactly that in mind." The avali commander groans.

"So, I guess Stic is going to have to be informed of this...? The news of bandits getting more bold have been growing by the day, i'm not sure it's something we are going to be able to keep under the rug from him." Mattias laments. "If we want a chance to keep the public as a whole from knowing about this Stic is going to have to be in the same page as us, which means letting him know about this..." He will always welcome a better idea though.

"Looks like we have to." The commander groans. "One bandit backed into a corner with a gun is not something to start the alarm over. A whole group of them rampaging across the sands and trying to destroy it from the inside? Dammit, this is exactly what I was hoping WOULDN'T happen." He nearly shouts.

"Yeah, I can understand perfectly." He sighs. "You can expect me to come around there by tomorrow morning with the pros i'm gonna bring in, and i think we can summon Stic to come over around that time too."
The next day at the Sandgun base...
Right now everyone in the base is probably aware of what is going to be happening, they are going to be taking measures to deal with the bandits that have gotten firearms and are using them to wreak havoc in the Land of the Sands. This most likely means launching some operations against them.
The three people that Mattias said he would gather are here. They are all standing in a straight line and Mattias himself is there to introduce them.
One might be quite a rare sight from what was seem so far from these humans. This is a female for once, and not a small one, she looks like she could wrestle Ursaring. Her attire might bring to mind 'military authority', as her jacket and beret might make her look like a military officer, and it's all colored for desert camouflage. Though she is also wearing some ballistic armor that covers her chest, legs and arms so she is not completely defenseless to bullets. She is standing up straight with her hands on her hips, looking straight, much like a soldier standing in line.
The next one to her right is another human, this one isn't as imposing as the previous one. However he does look like he is wearing something more advanced yet very less armored, it looks like a suit made of optical fiber, it clings tightly to his body, almost looking like it could serve as another layer of muscle on him with insulating properties. He seems to be bald too, there is not a single strand of hair on his head, he doesn't have eyebrows either. He is standing a bit more relaxed but his eyes seem very focused.
And at the end of this three-people line there is another human male, this one is dressed up in an overcoat of white fiber optic with a collar that covers up the lower half of his face. He is hunched over and his gaze seems unfocused as he feels uncomfortable with the temperature but he would only have himself to blame by dressing up like this. "Fuck. This. Heat." He said to himself not with a common sounding voice, but more like a monotone text to speech.
Then of course Stic arrives, having managed to find himself sometime to come over even with work getting hectic recently. He looked at all these new humans present and wondered what exactly was going on here. Would this have anything to do with the sudden spike of unrest these days?

"So we're all here, is this everyone?" The commander asks. However, he quickly notices the Espeon standing next to Stic. "Excuse me, but... what exactly is she doing here?" He asks, pointing towards Seer.

Mattias stepped forward and nodded. "Yes, those three are the best i could find for this situation at hand. You can say that they will be representing our half of the effort of this joint effort we are about to undertake." He was going to go further but stopped for now as the commander is talking Stic.
The Meowstic looked at Seer for a moment, then back to the Avali to tell him why she is here. "She is my most trusted Pokémon and knows of the Avali as much as I do."

"Well, alright." He says dismissively. "If you trust her, then I suppose it's alright. Anyway..." He looks at them. "Let's get down to brass tacks."
A hologram appears on the desk, for now all it does is show a slowly spinning Avalon logo, the familiar circle with three feathers sticking up to the right-upper-right side from the bottom.
"In the last few months, the republic had been gaining a foothold on the banditry problem, a problem neglected and ignored by the previous... administration." There is an audible pause at the last word, as if he's doubtful to even call what the Sands had before the republic had an 'administration' of anything. "We had finally been reaching a point to where we'd had them in a corner, an essential non-object as it were."
He takes a deep, sad sigh, and Seer can shift the sullen mood.
"That however, changed but a week ago."
He clicks a button, and the holograph shifts, displaying the footage of pokemon walking in the desert with firearms, with said mons gunning down the guards, and some of the caravanners themselves.

"Mmmm..." Stic was carefully listening to everything the Avali was explaining to him. He has been taking measures against banditry, yes. And has been going well. And then came the footage of the mons holding those strange objects, he could see that they were weapons as he saw them killing pokémon. "W-what...what are those?" Bandits with things like that can not be a good thing at all.
Mattias decides to add to this conversation a little regarding this footage. "These images have been recorded by one of my Colleagues, the one that goes by BG, or 'Brigadier General'. You asked me to help verify how effectively the bandits were being dealt with, but what was found was...unexpected."

"To say the least." It zooms in on the strange object that one of them is holding.

"That right there is a USM47a2." He says. "An old USCM model that was way past its prime even when the USCM civil war broke out. Though, still rather reliable, as you can sadly see." He says.
"It might be more prudent to tell us what exactly that thing is for those of us not in the know." She flashes a small grin at him before returning to her normal blank expression.
"Ah. Right. An excellent suggestion." He grumbles. "Okay, so you know how we gave the republic a bunch of crossbows, right? Weapons that could throw iron bolts over a distance? This... is essentially that, but it can throw multiple of them in quick succession, without the need to reload after each shot. And the projectiles are a lot faster." He tries to explain in a way the 'mons in the room will understand. 
"And you've encountered one before on this planet, right?" Seer right away asks.
The commander's jaw is agape, to say the least. 
"H.... How did... you..."
Seer points and taps her head. "Psychic powers."
"Mind readers? There's mind readers on this planet? Ho boy." He groans. "I'm going to have to make a note to get some of those anti-atropus psi-blockers in here. That might be a security risk."

"Yes, those are Psychic types in general. Some are better than others." Mattias said. He knows that this is besides the point right now so he will just leave it at that and not explain further yet.
"So these weapons are way more advanced than crossbows in pretty much every way. There is no way the bandits would simply have obtained them, is there?" Stic said as he seriously pondered. He is not accusing the Avali here, but just as the Avali gave them the crossbows and those new weapons, it is not a stretch to assume the possibility of these advanced weaponry being given to the bandits by someone else, right? "Furthermore this changes quite a bit of things. These deadly weapons are problematic for the well-being of everyone. I'm not quite sure what to do about this as of now." Granted he only come to know of things like this at this very moment.

"When we first encountered one, as the pink one had mentioned." He groans as he motions towards Seer. "It was just one bandit leader in a cave with one of them. This was a couple of months ago you see, back when your army was on its way to Dryhaven."
The image shifts to a recreation of the Nidoking hip-firing a similar looking gun, and the avali squad in a firefight with him.
 "We didn't bring it up back then because we had believed the incident to be a one-off, and not worth starting a panic over." He continues. "The bandit in question clearly had no idea how to use the weapon, he didn't even know you were supposed to reload the weapon."
The image changes to a generic 3d animation of the weapon close up, and an androgynous pair of hands removing the clip from the bottom, then inserting another one and pulling back the handle. The animation loops as the commander continues.
"So we had believed at the time that said bandit had simply gotten lucky, haven gotten it from a cache that one of Johnathan's boys left behind a century ago, or found it off some space pirate ship wreckage somewhere. A one-off, as I said. And for the months that followed, it had looked like this was the case, so the issue was dropped entirely."

"HHhmmm..." Stic is a tiny bit disappointed that they didn't tell him about this incident, but there is nothing to be done about this right now. "So how are we going to deal with this? You have a plan, right?" 
"We are coming with plans to find out where these bandits are operating from so we can deal with them, we are going to do something to make their raids more difficult to lessen potential damage. We are hoping to get a lead as we go." Mattias explained. 
"Hhhmmm a lead you say?" The Meowstic looks up to the human. "Well if it helps i have had some people looking into the 'Snow' substance. Before these more dangerous bandits showed up, some lesser ones we apprehended were found with this 'Snow' in their possession too, and when we questioned them about it we find out they were sold by supposedly the same people who sold it to the merchants."

"I was just getting to the possibility of origins. Now obviously, neither this nor that 'snow' stuff, which we have identified by the way as an advanced form of cocaine, came from this planet." The commander replies. "Not to mention, these bandits, unlike the Nidoking one-off, clearly know how to use their weapons." The image shifts back to the feed, and shows one of them, the lucario, pulling out the clip and discarding it, and feeding another one into the gun. 

"Is that so? 'Snow'? Hhmmm..." Mattias is left pondering. Stic watched the feed. A Lucario huh? You don't usually see many of those around. "I wouldn't know how these weapons even work. And given that they know how to use it, I assume someone must have taught them how to make use of them..."

"HHhmmm..." Stic is a tiny bit disappointed that they didn't told him about this incident, but there is nothing to be done about this right now. "So how are we going to deal with this? You have a plan, right?"
"We are coming with plans to find out where these bandits are operating from so we can deal with them, we are going to do something to make their raids more difficult to lessen potential damage. We are hoping to get a lead as we go." Mattias explained.
"Hhhmmm a lead you say?" The Meowstic looks up to the human. "Well if it helps i have had some people looking into the 'Snow' substance. Before these more dangerous bandits showed up, some lesser ones we apprehended were found with this 'Snow' in their possession too, and when we questioned them about it we find out they were sold by supposedly the same people who sold it to the merchants."

"I was just getting to the possibility of origins. Now obviously, neither this nor that 'snow' stuff, which we have identified by the way as an advanced form of cocaine, came from this planet." The commander replies. "Not to mention, these bandits, unlike the Nidoking one-off, clearly know how to use their weapons." 
The image shifts back to the feed, and shows one of them, the lucario, pulling out the clip and discarding it, and feeding another one into the gun. 

"Is that so? 'Snow'? hhhmmm..." Mattias is left pondering.
Stic watched the feed. A Lucario huh? You don't usually see many of those around. "I wouldn't know how these weapons even work. And given that they know how to use i assume someone must have taught them how to make use of them..."

"My point exactly." The commander says. "Someone must have taught them. Now there are a list of suspects, top of which are the Miniknog. Whom have been confirmed to have been operating in this area in the past, and might still be doing so. Though... that still doesn't explain this."
The feed switches to the mega-evolved Tyrannar.

Stic is left surprised by what he is seeing, and then his jaw drops when he sees just how much destruction that Tyranitar did, he NEVER saw such power before. He is left speechless.
"There are two possible suspects for that." Mattias speaks up.
"What?" The Meowstic looks to him again, really wanting an explanation here. "Who?"
"There is a group of humans who were seduced by things such as 'immortality' and 'gene splicing. Their pursuit of all 'sciences', 'myths' and 'social experimentation' driven by their twisted curiosity is ruthless on themselves and whoever they have their attention on. all they do we condemn on the strongest of possible terms. Those inhuman abominations are probable suspects but..." Mattias then points to himself. "There is also us. The point here is whoever was capable of this had to know how pokémon function, and on their own 'rules' no less."

"Sounds a little like the Miniknog." The commander comments.

"I don't know much exactly about the Miniknog other than what you have told me." Mattias says that, but this probably applies to Stic just as much. "Anyways. Commander, do you have any able-bodied soldiers around still? I remember some Avali, an Espeon and a huge robot. I think there was an Decidueye and a Leafeon too."

"Oh, yes, there's still around." The commander sighs. "Though, right now they're really the ONLY combat capable ones outside of a skeleton crew of guards. We had been scaling down our operations in this base here in recent months. The Night Witches are on a different world now doing other things, and most of our other people here are just base guards as I've said."
"That can't be a coincidence." Seer comments.
"I'm afraid not." The commander sighs again. "It would make sense for our blood enemies to give them weapons right when we're starting to scale down our operations."

"It's never a coincidence..." Stic laments as he knows all too well how to take an opportunity and exploit it for maximum effect. "So I suppose we do really have another big problem to deal with, this 'Miniknog' is bound to bring in worse calamities than the nobles if we let them have their way."
"Well Stic, do you have an idea on what you are going to do with  what you know so far?" Mattias asks him.
"For now we are going to try to warn merchants to avoid their usual routes, this might slow down business. And we are also going to need to reinforce security in towns but if that Tyranitar decides to make an appearance..." That would be very bad news, for sure.
"Yes, I know. But I don't think even she can handle artillery if we do see approaching Sandstone. So if she has a lapse of judgment and decides to do just that, she will get herself killed. It wouldn't be hard to notice a walking earthquake..." Mattias says.
"Indeed...So who are those other humans over there?"
"They are some specialists I brought in to help deal with this issue. I'm going to introduce them to the commander."

The commander nods, ready to be introduced to the other humans.

Stic decides to watch this in silence. There is not much for him to add now but he wants to see what these people are all about.
"Alright guys it's time." Mattias spoke to the other humans as he approached them, looking over each and everyone of them as decides on which to go for first. He decides it's going to the big lady. "Alright, let's start with you, alright? Come forward."
"MMm-mmm, with pleasure!" She said to him before taking a few steps forward to stand out from the other two. She then stands at attention and lets Mattias proceed with her introduction.
"This is someone I mentioned some moments ago. This is Brigadier General, or BG for short. Of course this is just a nickname. She is a veteran of many battles and has trained in many skills to deal with a variety of situations that a soldier might have to face. That being weapons training, close quarters combat, demolitions and knowledge of how to operate in an urban landscape or survive in a natural environment."
She smiles and waves to the Avali. "So you represent these other intelligent life-forms that came from the stars, right? You look more adorable than i thought."

"Well that's... nice." The commander is not sure if she's trying to come onto him with that comment or not, so he decides to just handwave it. "Next one?"

"Okay, BG, can you step back to the line now?"
She gives him a thumps up and nods. "You got it." She marched back to where she was previously and stood at attention once more.
"Alright, next one is..." Mattias points to the person on the other end of the three-person line. "You now." He points to the guy in the overcoat. "Come on."
He tilts his head to the side a little. "Oh, i thought you were doing this on an order, okay then." He sheepishly stepped forward.
T'is the time for the introduction to begin. "This man is named Issac, Issac Zarlak. He is much of an expert combatant like BG..."
"And you are not much of an expert ladies' man." His monotonous text-to-speech interjected.
But Mattias continues without skipping a beat. "However he has a pretty good understanding about building and programming things, even maintaining them, be them weapons, machinery or software. You can say he has 'special weapons and tactics' to bring to the table. And if push comes to shove he also took controversial steps to become 'Brainless', 'Heartless' and 'Spineless'."
"...Fuck you Matt. Just fuck you." If he could he would probably sound very offended here.
Now this leaves Mattias utterly perplexed, and looks at Isaac with a very confused expression on his face. "Didn't you said that was what it was called?"
"I was saying it in a ironic manner of speech that time."
"How was I supposed to know you were saying it like that?" Mattias facepalms and sighs. But he will explain on better terms as he was going to before Issac interrupted him. "All those three organs of his i just mentioned were replaced with advanced technologies."

"Ah, augmentation. A concept we're more than familiar with." The commander comments. "That includes missing limbs by the way. We've perfected it to the point to where the limb in question is almost indistinguishable from the original."

"I suppose there is some merit to that, making augmented limbs look like the real thing is no easy task as far as I hear." Mattias commented back. "But In Issac's case it's probably not easy to tell because it's all internal. You can't even tell he doesn't have a brain in his head right now. Literally, i mean." He added that last bit before Issac thought that was an insult again.

"I see." The commander comments. "Anyway, moving on..."

"I know, I know. Back to the line." Isaac walks back until he is back where he was. He didn't have to be told to do it.
There didn't have to be any request for him to step forward, the bald one just simply did so as soon as the last one went back.
"Alright, so him..." Mattias rubs his chin before beginning. "He is called Jormar Jordan. He is what we would call a bit of a 'old generation' person. But back home he is a renowned sniper assassin with the best reliability and unparalleled professionalism, some say he is even without equal. If you pay him to kill someone, he can guarantee you that person will die. But I will admit, him being here right now is stepping out of his usual 'comfort zone'. Now, guns back home, be them energy or ballistics, are labelled as outdated tools so you seldom see anyone using them. Yet still Jormar is the closest thing to a 'lead farmer' and a gun master there. Usually he charges very high to just kill someone, at first i couldn't even begin to imagine how much it would cost for him to be here but...he didn't exactly 'hire' him, he just said he wanted to be part of this and how could i say 'no'? He was the one who has shown the most interest in your firearms technology, so I think it has something to do with him being willing to come here to work."
There are no words from Mr. Jordan over there, Mattias already explained the gist of it pretty well so there is really no need for him to add anything. 

"Alright. Oh!" He suddenly gets up. "I think I still have the one the bandit from a few month ago had here somewhere. Let me go and find it..."
"It's in storage, 4th locker." One of his packmates tells him. 
"Right. Thanks. One moment guys." He heads out of the command tent, presumably to the 'storage' tent to retrieve it.

Mattias is surprised that he kept that prisoner around still. But still, that might be useful. With the introductions done he starts discussing something else with BG, Isaac and Jormar. It's mostly him explaining to them what he knows about Avali and their ways of conducting their plans here.
So there three are some other impressive humans in their true form? to a Pokémon like Stic they sure look more out-of-this-world than the Avali, and even a little more so than that previous human he met. He wonders if every human looks that different to one another despite being the same species.
For now they will just wait here until the commander comes back with the gun that the Nidoking bandit leader once had.

It doesn't take him long to come back with the item in question. 
"Alright, here we go." He says as he lays the weapon on the table.

"An even older model of the USM47." He says as he pushes the weapon towards Jormar. "If you want to take a look. The bandit shot all the ammo out of it and had no idea how to reload it, so don't worry about accidentally discharging it or anything."

Jormar approaches the table, and for the first time displaying subtle, but clear interest in this weapon. "An older model of the USM47." He doesn't say that because he knows about it, but just repeated it to himself in acknowledgement before carefully picking the gun up to examine it. He notes that this gun is indeed very old based on how it looks with all its wear and rust on the metal.
"The wood is a pretty odd choice to put on a rifle though." Mattias commented.
"It is logical though, Even if it's just the stock, grip and handguard, wood is more plentiful and readily available than metal or plastic so it would be easier to produce on top of how simple it looks." He explains his analysis as he pulls back the rifle's bolt to reveal the ejection port. "Furthermore this gun is aged and neglected, very much so. Not only that, it was also given by someone with no knowledge of how to take care of it, and in a desert environment no less. Yet it managed to fire the whole magazine. Under these same conditions, the firearms that I know would likely show complications in functioning properly, if at all."
He can't help but smirk a little. Leave it to this guy to tell him details he would have missed about the overshadowed topic that is firearms. Knowing that he is impressed by this trashy-looking gun is nice too. "You think it's better than what we got back home."
"I would require further analysis and testing of this weapon to answer that with certainty." The man said before aiming down the sights with this rifle. "What is this weapon's caliber?" He asked the Avali commander.

"7.32x39mm" The commander replies. "Quite common during the UCSM wars."

"Huh, quite a caliber. Reaches pretty close to the 7.62×51mm used by some heavy rifles back home." Well, Jorma is done with this weapon now, so he puts it back down on the table. He would have liked to bring it with himself to further study it but as far as it seems it is still the commander's property.
"Finally. I thought the old man was going to keep flirting with that thing." Isaac said. Despite his comment it doesn't look like his fellow humans seem to pay much mind to what he says. Though Stic is giving him a bit of a funny look because of his rudeness.
"Might I add that those bandits don't have just rifles. We saw them carrying different types of weapons as well." Mattias adds.

"Ah yes." The commander says. "Shotguns and pistols as well. So far they don't seem to have any heavier weapons, but that might change if their 'benefactors' get more involved."

Mattias looks to Stic. "Have you thought of something yet?"
"I could tell the caravans to avoid those routes because they got far too dangerous" Which is kind of exactly what is happening. "Reinforcing with pokémon to guard it would only have the casualties. This might stop the bandits from getting more prey for the time being, but when they wise up they will likely start heading deeper into our territory to look for other points of opportunity. And that Tyranitar is still a very big threat too."
"It's better than nothing, should help." He looks to the commander again. "So i thought that we would also be needing to do a lot of 'extracting' of pokémon and resources, so we got two particular types of hardware to do that."

"Two particular types of hardware?" The commander asks.

"Well, the first one is to secure personnel. It is called a 'pokéball'. It is a device designed to catch pokémon when tossed at them." From his pocket he gets a small red and white sphere with a button on the middle, he pressed said button with his thumb and the device grows until it can fit nicely in his hand.

"This technology is from a very different time in our history that's...virtually forgotten at this point."

"Wait, you mean like... enslaving them?" The commander's eyes narrow with a quiet fury. "Absolutely not!"

Mattias raises his hands in alarm. "No no no! Absolutely not indeed! That's impossible thankfully." He shakes his head. "While they can cram a whole pokémon inside of them, it doesn't affects them mentally. Just think of pokéball as pocket holding cells for prisoners...or a secure spot to put a hostage in as you bring them out of a dangerous place. Maaaybe i worded it pretty wrong back there the first time."

"Hmmmph..." The commander thinks. 
"So it's basically like the capture pods?" One of the other avali asks.
"Yeah well capture pods don't capture sentients. Only monsters." Another one replies.
"Still, we should use that sparingly, just like with these weapons, and the IRON ones before them, this could get dangerous real fast if it fell into the wrong hands. As such, i'm still very hesitant about using it."

"So particular." Issac commented.
"That sounds...unpleasant." Stic said regarding these 'pokeballs'.
"Right...that's fair." Mattias sighs. "Alright so the other thing is a system that uses a balloon to hoist something high up in the air, then up into the sky as a flying unit takes it away. This 'Fulton Recovery System' can work on many things like possible loose boxes of firearms/loot that we can repossess, and it can also be used to extract living beings, but accidents might happen so that's not 100% viable."

"Yes, well that is all I would want to introduce. These three also have their own weapons but it's nothing to write home about by Avali standards, I wager." 
Unfortunately Issac takes offense to that. "'nothing to write home about'? really my metaphorical brother? really? I will have you know my baby can use many types of ammunitions and grenades, like-"
"Issac, our turn to talk is practically done." Mattias stopped him from going any further with his nonsense. "So, Commander, what about you? Any noteworthy personnel, tactic or technology you plan on using to deal with this bandit issue?"

"Honestly, the only personnel I have to spare for this are Easani, Duci, and Seph's pack. Seph and his crew are out right now and are kind of needed here. And I'm not sure if Duci or Easani are quite up to this task yet. Duci and Easani are combat capable, but she's a grove defector. She's never seen modern warfare like this, and neither has Easani."
He groans.
"Had this occurred a month or two earlier, my go-to solution would have been the Night Witches. They were especially trained for this. Only problem is that that they were recalled to do other anti-miniknog things."
He sighs.
"Honestly, I kind of wish that the Ghost Bears would come back..."

"Hhmmmm, I see. And I assume that if you could call for help, you would have already, right?" Mattias says with a sigh. "Is there really no way to call the Ghost Bears?"
"You all sigh a lot, are you sure you don't have any respiratory issues? Is that legitimate concern or wisecracking from Issac? Likely the latter.
"Besides Ranii, Luca and Pix i'm not sure i would have anyone to send, if i were to do so. Ranii might know of this 'modern' warfare since she is an Avali as well, but not Luca or Pix..." Stic said to them.

"That's correct. I've sent in a request for them, but I haven't gotten word back yet." The commander replies in response to Mattias asking about the Ghost Bears. "Truth be told, this planet is kind of a sideshow compared to what's going on in the rest of the galaxy."

"Which is the whole Avali Iluminate-Miniknog conflict looming, right?" He shrugs. "Since you have downsized Sandgun, I imagined it is lacking some other things too, such as a method of rapid transportation and likely fire support. We can help with that too. I could show the former to you too, heck, it's above as as we speak."

"Well that and there are other things too. Example, the Erchius problem." He explains. "People keep putting colonies on erchius-infested moons thanks to shoddy scoutting or trying to make a quick buck while not realizing that Erchius got phased out as a fuel decades ago, and then said colonies turn out into erchius-monster infested hellholes, and then someone's gotta go bail them out."
He looks at them.
"Funny thing is, everyone thought the whole erchius monster problem would go away once the Ruin went dead since those started being a problem around the same time the Ruin showed up, but nope. Turns out they're not related at all."

"I suppose settling on the moons were a problem in the first place. If these 'monsters' are just in the moons then surely evacuating the colonies and cutting loses should be the most efficient solution to go with, no?"

"Most of the time. But some colonies, particularly the non-avali ones, are rather stubborn in that regard and would rather fight for a colony that is not doing all that great to begin with, against all reason." He sakes his head. "I will never understand the attachment to peices of rock or nationstates."

"I can only imagine a few people that would want to live in such places." He shrugs. "Still, in my opinion, if that's their choice then there is nothing much to be done other than saying 'i told you so' when they inevitably come crawling for help or perish."

"Yeah." He grumbles. "Anyway, let's never mind that tangent. You were talking about transportation. We do have teleporters in the major cities, but right now they're not exactly open to the public. And we do have one gunship available."

"And with the one we brought..." Mattias holds up two of his fingers. "That makes it two gunships. Might be prudent to have two just in case, I think. We should probably start mobilizing things as soon as possible. We got some possible places to start."

"Very well. It's a start." The commander states. "Though I have a bad feeling that this is just the start of things. If the Miniknog are involved, they aren't going to stop giving expired candy to some lowlifes."

"Yes, let us start discussing a plan of action right away them." Mattias places his hands behind his back. "The first one that comes to mind is taking advantage of the fact that these bandits might still look for caravans to raid along the routes that Stic here will soon have cleared out. So we can have a armored 'battle wagon' disguised as a normal wagon, with a cargo of professional badasses to greet them. Furthermore we also know where the raids in that area are being coordinated from, there is a raid camp, could not be the only one but it's the first one we found."

"Alright... and what of the giant rampaging one?"

"We noticed unusual seismic activity in a certain spot, and it 'moved' somewhere else. We have reason to think that is her making her way back to her lair somewhere, we know roughly where that is but not an exact location."

"So we'll keep tracking the seismic activity back to its lair. And as for that herself, I presume the protip is 'shoot at it till it dies?"

"Yes, pretty much." He nods. "You guns haven't failed you so far here, right? And even if complications do happen we always have a plan."

"Right." He says. "So if there's nothing else..."

"Yes, nothing else. Let's begin..."

"Right. I'll notify the squad." He says. "More specifically, I'll have to notify Seph. He's... currently out at the moment."

Elsewhere in the maze, it turns out that Seph is currently busy having a moment with a few friends. One of these friends is no other than one particular big Lopunny.
"You know, I was kinda surprised when you invited me to come here, Seph." Mrs Fluffybun says as they arrive in a spacious cavern. She has a smile on her face. "At this point I'm kinda well known in Sandstone, when people want pleasure of the highest caliber, they call for me. Heck, even Ara's other girls learned some nice tricks from me~ But you know, lately it's been getting...boring..."

"Yeah, definitely." Seph says in reply to the large bunny's surprise at being 'invited', as truth be told, she'd more or less invited herself. He had been out on a date with his Furret friend, as they'd grown very close over the months. Even sexually. He was surprised when he'd found Jocslyn wandering about, totally not looking for him.
He was however just grateful that the introductions to each other turned out to be a lot more smooth than he'd anticipated, and while Jocslyn suggesting a threesome wasn't all that surprising, what was surprising was just how easily his furret friend went along with the proposal.
Still, he was hyped for this.

"Well in any case..." The Rabbit looks back to the Furret. "You two have been dating, right? You wanna tell me how that started?~" She teasingly asks.
The Furret blushes a little and laughs. "We have been dating for quite some time now, yes. I learned that Seph here has a softer side, we all did. But I learned that he also has a bit of a romantic side too, you know?" She gives the Synth a pat on the side, it's as high as her paw can go given how big he is.
"Heh, Seph? Being the romantic type?" Jocelyn looks at him curiously. "Wheeeeere?~"
"I mean, he knows how to make a lady feel welcomed...'good', you know?"
She nods. "Oh yeah, I can imagine!" The Lopunny then looks around. "Hhhmmm, you guys think this place is good enough to hang in? this space seems okay to me."

"You two are such flatterers." He chuckles at their complements. "But yes, I do have a much softer side. I mean, I didn't get the nickname 'Big Daddy' just by knocking the heads of Grove deserters and bad guildies around.... Or at least, not the 'daddy' part of it."
He looks around at the cave.
"And yeah, this should be roomy enough to hang around in."

"Heh, yeah i guess. Sometimes i feel kind a when i imagine myself being the mons you messed up." Jocelyn sits herself down on the sand. "So Furret. You ever had sex with Seph?"
"Oh, straight to the point huh?" She is certainly surprised how the rabbit went to that topic in such a straightforward manner. "I guess you are as lusty as they say. Yeah, me and Seph here had some good times together." She looks up at him with a smile. "He's got quite a big penis, you know?"
Oh Jocelyn would know, she has never forgotten it ever since she laid eyes on it. "Heh, yeah he sure does~ Come to think of it, Seph do you still have your cock with you right now or you need to 'equip' it?"

"Heh, Of course I have it on." He says. "You didn't think I'd go on this date unprepared, did you?"

"Heh, nice~" The Lopunny licks her lips.
Furret goes to the other pokémon's side to sit beside her. She already knows the way things are likely to go on this little date. "So, Big Daddy, who are we going to start this?"
"hhhmmmm, tough choice really." Jocelyn comments as she looks at the Synth. "But if you want to have fun with his dick first, I will gladly let him lick my pussy with that long tongue of his~" This might sound odd coming from her, given how much she worshiped Seph's dick the first time.

"Well that sounds like a plan."  Seph comments as he sits between them.  This sounds like he's in for one hell of a time.

A simulated blush starts to form on the side of the visor, basically just a small strip of lights turning on. Still, he leans back, and a metallic 'moan' escapes from his 'lips' as he feels his furret friend's hand on his cock, which right now is still 'limp'.
It was designed with semi-realism in mind after all, so it does have the function of softening and hardening.

The Furret then brings her other paw over, so she can touch it with both. Getting a feel for his cock is always nice, especially at the time when it gets hard. "Let's get your big friend up and about now, Seph." She leans in to start licking it too.
"So Big Daddy...you got a tongue as far as i remember, wanna lay down so you can put it to use in licking my pussy?" The Lopunny asks as she rubs under his chin.

"Certainly!" He complies easily, laying down on the sandy "floor" of the cave, his arms on either side of him. His soft synthetic cock still limps as it awaits attention.

Although it is synthetic, the cock still has something resembling nerves, something that simulates pleasure well enough to cause him to moan out, his snake-like mouth opens slightly, his long, synthetic snake-like tongue slightly visible inside his mouth.
"Oooh that's good." He comments. "Keep at it."

The Lopunny smiles, getting more aroused just from watching that little show. But now she proceeds to get on top of Seph, somewhat, she got on her knees and made sure that his head is right between her legs, so he has a good view of her dripping pussy. "Hehehehe, I don't think I can handle this tension any longer. Come on Seph, show me how you can use your tongue!~"

"Heh, you don't fool around do ya?" He laughs haughty as he opens his maw wide. "Well neither do I."
For someone not familiar with robotics it might seem odd that he can talk without moving his jaw. But then again, it's not like either of them are really paying attention to that fact. 
Especially the bunny, when his long serpentine tongue finds its way to her pussy. In fact it's more like a long controllable cord than anything. Still, it does its job well enough as it laps away at her inner folds, teasing them with short and rapid flicks and laps.

The Lopunny shivers and and moans a little as she feels his tongue entering her folds to tease her genitals with it's flicks and laps. "It feels a bit different than the usual tongues I'm used to, but it's not bad. I will tell you that much." She said as she rubbed the top of Seph's head.

The display showing Seph's 'eyes' narrows and then bends into a pair of upward-facing wedges at the attention. He responds by lifting his two hands, one of them goes to her left ass cheek and gives it a squeeze, the other goes to her chest. That big hand rubs her flat chest, almost as if he's looking for something, but quickly remembers it's looking for something not there. Once he realizes that, he instead slides his big metallic hand down her side, until it too reaches her hip. He reaches around, rubbing both ass cheeks with those big hands while continuing to lap at her inner folds. The cord tongue is long enough that it also lightly teases her clit with each eager flick.

Taking the tactile cue from the bunny in front of him, he spears his cord-tongue deep into her pussy, her folds offering no resistance to his intrusion. He easily reaches the end of her cavern, and 'tasting' her pussy, he gives a small 'mmm' in response to its 'flavor', but also to the Furret rubbing herself against him, his cock rapidly hardening at the prospect of entering her. He then begins to swirl his tounge inside of the rabbit's pussy, rubbing it against her walls deep inside of her.

"Aaaahhh!~ You're gonna make me cum like t-that~" Jocelyn moans out as she leans forward to support herself with her arms. Still though, for now she worked up some good lust from this, but she wants move than just a simple oral fun, way more...so she is going to edge herself a bit. "Alright that's enough for now Seph~" She said as she moved her hips away, getting her pussy away from his face. "I wanna let this 'stew' for a moment if that's okay, besides it's best if you focus all of your attention in giving your girlfriend a good time?" She points to the other pokémon behind her.
"Oh, are you sure about that?" Furret stopped what she was doing for a moment, for now just grasping the synth's large breeding equipment with both of her paws.
"Heh, yeah don't worry, i want this time to be special...REAL special~"

"Heh..." Seph says as he pushes his upper half up with his hands and sits up a bit. "I never took you for the voyeur type, Jossy."

"Oh i'm not a voyeur if i can help it, but i sometimes indulge in it even if it's a little torturous to just watch and masturbate without getting in on it." She laughs a little. "But yeah like i said i'm gonna edge myself a little bit~" "Well if you say so." Furret smiles up at Seph before standing up a bit to press the entrance of her pussy against the tip of his dick. "So Seph, i think i got you ready enough for this, don't you think?~"

Seph looks down at his rock-hard synthetic cock, now fully erect and raring to go into one of the two girls, and by the looks of things, it'll be his furret girlfriend first.
"Definitely" He replies. He reaches out and takes his girlfriend by the hips, holding her steady above his cock.
"Are you ready for this?" He asks her.

His pokemon girlfriend happily nods to him. "Sure am~" She places her paws on his chest for support that she is definitely going to need when they begin.

"Alrighty then." With a nod, his gaze shifts down to his cock, and her crotch hovering above it. With her confirmation that she's ready, he slowly pulls down, guiding her down onto that thick, erect rod of his. He can feel that tight pussy part ways for it and wrap around it as it slowly enters her, the tip of his cock quickly being consumed by her folds.
"Nnngh!" He gasps. "So tight!" He comments. He looks up to her, to gauge if he could continue.

Her fold squeezed Seph's member as it came in. "Oooooh~ Nnngh!" That sounded a little bit like a response to pain. Though she did take a good amount of his cock into her entrance. "You are not called 'Big Daddy' for nothing huh? Don't worry, I'm alright." She says to assure him that she is alright, but it doesn't look like she can't take any deeper than this.

"Are you sure?" He asks. "You sound like you need a few moments yet."

"Yeah, just a little bit okay?" She remains there, breathing for a bit of time. Then she move her hips up and down a little bit without much difficulty or sign of pain. "Seems alright to me now."

"Need a little help?" He asks. Before she even responds, he lets go of her hips with one of his hands, and instead reaches over to her crotch. Very carefully, he reaches under, and rubs just above her folds untill he finds exactly what he's looking for, that little nub right above it. Carefully, he begins to rub it with his thumb, taking care not to touch it directly.
"Maybe this'll help." He says comfortingly while his thumb traces around her clit.

"Ooooh~" She coos. Seems like this got the intended reaction from her. "Yeah that certainly helps."
Seph sure is being gentle with that Furret, huh? kind of contrast to what Jocelyn had experienced with him somewhat. She didn't know those big hands of his could be so precise either. "heh~" Though she does hope that when it's her turn, he won't be gentle like that with her, cuz she doesn't quite plan to...

Seph can feel her wetness begin to drip down onto his cock, it looks like this attention to his clit is having the intended effect, so he keeps it up, rubbing around it, and around the outer edges of her folds to add to the foreplay.

Her dripping juices should help lube up Seph's equipment too. When Furret thinks this is good enough for foreplay she begins to move her hips up and down, giving a proper start to the sex with the Synth she loves.

Seph feels that tight tight pussy squeeze around his large cock as she descends, causing him to release a robotic grunt of pleasure, followed by another, and another. For a moment there, he had almost regretted equipping the "large size" cock on himself, but now that he sees his furret friend move up and down on it without any more issue, he no longer does so. And now that the need for foreplay has passed, his large hands once again return to her hips, guiding her up and down his large shaft.

It would appear that she got used to its size, but wasn't able to get all of it in her but that's to be expected. "A-aaaaah!~" The Furret moaned. With the help of his hands she can move her hip up and down faster. Her pussy keeps giving his cock tight squeezes as Seph fucks her.

Seph moans under her as her tight pussy milks his cock, he moves her up and down faster along his hard thick shaft.  His large hips begin to buck up to meet her falls, eager to drive himself into her. 
"Oh!" He grunts. "So tight! Nnngh!" He steals a quick feel of her ass cheeks, and a quick glance towards Josy to see what she's doing while the two of them are getting it on.

Furret is letting out moan after moan, the sensation of his big cock penetrating her feels very pleasurable, she can feel a passion between herself and him too. "A-Aaahh~ T-this feels so good~"
Right now the Lopunny is watching the show with her legs spread, giving a view of her pussy which is dripping heavily at the sight. One thing is for sure though, she must be stopping herself from masturbating, she could easily do so but her paws are there gripping at the sand instead. Though despite all of that she still has a smile on her face as she watches on.

"Here too!" Seph responds to his girlfriend as his gaze and undivided attention returns to her, his hips now bucking up to stuff himself as far as he can go into her with each hard drop. "Ngh, You're so good!" He grunts as he reaches up and pulls her upper part down for a quick kiss on the lips, or as close as he can get without lips of his own. Instead, his tongue runs over her lips, it's a bit weird but for a being with no lips it's the best he can do.

Well she doesn't really mind the fact that she doesn't have lips, and also understands that he is 'kissing' her so she also kisses him in return. The Furret doesn't know how much of this she can handle though, her pleasure is at its peak and it feels like she can cum at any moment.

He makes an unmuffled, metallic moan as the two give each other quick kisses as their pace speeds up, the large robot thrusting up into her repeatedly.
"Mmmph, I'm close!" He tells her. "You getting close too?!" He asks.

"Y-yeah...!" She can feel that she is very close as well. "I'm v-very close to cumming!"
"Ohohoh. here it comes~" Jocelyn coos as she sees what is about to happen. Soon her turn will come up it seems.

"Alright. Here." She gives another hard thrust. "I." And another. "GOOOO!!"
He pulls her hip down, driving himself as deep as he can as he gives a loud series of grunts as he lets go, shooting stream after stream of a liquid that closely resembles semen into his furret girlfriend's deep insides.

"Aaahh~ Aaaaah!~" She moans out as her orgasm also hits, her pussy squirts it's juice over Seph's cock just as it begins filling her with stream after stream of warm liquid. Her paws grip at his chest tightly as she holds herself in that position.
Seeing this, Jocelyn gets back up on her feet and begins stretching herself, her arms, her back...it's almost time, soon she will have that sex she has been craving for with someone who can handle it, oooooh she can barely wait...

At the moment however, Seph barely notices Jocelyn getting up, as he's too focused on his furret girlfriend. On that face of hers, of her closed eyes, her open yet smiling lips, that tired body trembling in the midst of orgasm, that pussy leaking their shared fluids down whatever shaft of his that isn't buried deep inside of her. After a few moments, he pulls her close once again, to give her another kiss, this time, a much longer and much more passionate one.

Her paws gently hold the side of the Synth's head as they kiss passionately. Her body began trembling less as the her orgasm died down, though she is still momentarily tired from this sex. When she was done kissing she smiled up at him. "That was amazing, Seph." She said before giving him a hug around the chest.

"You were amazing yourself, love." Seph returns the hug, holding her furry body close to him in a passionate hug. However, he hears Jocelyn shuffle in the sand, so he carefully holds his girlfriend close while turning over, Laying her to the side so she can rest.

"Mmmmm..." She lets herself relax there on the sand when he sets her down. She thinks that now he is going to play with the Lopunny? it certainly looks so judging by how she is standing there.
"Well...that was a pretty good show!" The big rabbit girl says as she looks down at her dripping snatch. "You were pretty gentle with her, huh?"

"Yeah." Seph replies to the big bunny. "Not everyone's into the hard stuff like you are, after all."

She smiles and chuckles under her breath. "Oh well, you aren't wrong." She looks up at him once more. "You know Seph...i need this, i really REALLY need this.'

Seph pushes himself up  with his hands, and then rises to his knees and feet, standing up tall in the cave. He can tell from her voice that he's not going to be afforded the luxury of laying down and letting the female do all the work this time. 
"You sure sound like it." He chuckles. "And look like it." He grins as he sees her dripping crotch. Soaking wet.

"Heh, it's more than you realize really." She says. "You see i don't know if i should blame myself for this but it set myself too high a bar when it comes sex that really REALLY satisfies me. When i don't get it for a while i tent to lose control of myself sometimes, it happened once around here...i kind of regret it." She sighs and shakes her head. "But this has been gnawing at me more and more these days, no matter how much sex i have in my job it's just not enough, it's never wild enough, my partners are strong enough to handle it.......so i have hold myself back for...far too long, far far too long. I want to cut lose, really really cut lose the only way a pokémon of my caliber can." She takes in a breath and looks at the Synth in the eyes from where she is standing. "So...can i? I might say some pretty outlandish things too that i might not really mean in the heat of the moment, justy saying."
Furret watches on in silence, she is not quite sure what to think here, the Lopunny there sure sounds like she is making sex sound way more important to her than it seems.

"Oh of course." Speh nods in response. "Don't worry, I can take it, and I still have plenty of energy to spare."

"Heheheh, okay, well...it can't be helped now...I'm doing it~ Furret, I'm sorry if I scare you okay?" Jocelyn curled herself, hugging her chest, almost looking like she was reacting with pain? But that's not it though soon her body begins to glow like she is evolving but this is much more sudden and intense than typical evolution. The sands under her began to shift a little, as if getting pushed aside from the power emanating from her. It then looked like the Lopunny was encapsulated inside of a sphere that began cracking as it struggled to contain what was coming from the inside, and it outright bursts into pieces to reveal the Lopunny looking very different then when she did before. The fur in many parts of her body seems to have been shed, making it easy to see her muscles, the patterns on her pants also make it look like she is wearing ripped pantyhose. She flexed her arms and began laughing...rather madly. "AHAHAHAHAHAH! FINALLY!~"
Furret is very surprised to say the least, what just happened here? Did that rabbit pokémon just evolve on command? Is she okay...?

Seph watches on as she undergoes her megaevolution, he remains speechless as the whole ordeal unfolds in front of him. To say he was not expecting anything like this is a severe understatement.
Once it is all done, he looks upon the taller, more muscular... and yet, admittedly much sexier form. Though his first thoughts aren't on her new form.
"Erm... Jossy?" Seph breaks the ice, a bit awkwardly. "Are... you alright?"

"Oh I'm FINE! Seph!" She is looking at him with a big wide smile. Then the Lopunny looks down at the area between her legs, it looks like it's getting even more soaked. "Well...mostly fine, I'm pretty damn horny now!" She laughs and gets on all fours. she begins slowly advancing toward him, walking in the way she does...it's like she is acting animalistic.
Furret is kind of glad that Seph is between her and Jocelyn right now, cuz she can't help but be a bit scared of how Jocelyn is acting now. And it gets steadily more scary the more she sees her approaching.
"Well, you're going to have to help me with this, Seph. I didn't want it to get THIS bad, but I really really need someone to tame me right now!~" The rabbit begins talking again. "You have just the size i like, you certainly look like you have a pretty resilient body too~"

Seph puts on a brave, neutral look, but deep down he's a bit perturbed by this new change in Jossy. Still, he volunteered for this, and it's time to see this to the end. His pack, if they were here, might be warning him not to stick his dick in crazy.
But his pack isn't here right now. And his dick is rearing to go. 
"Alright." He says as he approaches her. "If you want someone to get ahold of you and take you THAT badly..." He grabs her just under the elbows. "Then I'll be that person."

From down there in her all fours position, she looks up at him with a smile that looks like it's trying to get wider than it can be. She must REALLY be crazy to fuck in this form. "Alright then. Let's do this!~" With him holding her, she gets back up on her feet, maybe her size now reached closer to his.
"Ssoooo...you sure you are going to be okay?" Furret asks the Synth, sounding a bit worried there.

She is just a teeny bit smaller than he is, but yes, she is almost as big as he is.
"Don't worry about me" he says to his furret friend as he looks down, at his hard cock. He reaches down, lifting one of her legs up and a little off to the side, spreading her for him as his hard dick throbs, pointing itself directly at her dripping cunt. "I can handle this."
His other hand goes to her hip, holding it steady as his cock tip presses against her pussy. He gives a few teasing mini-thrusts, to test her out. However, he quickly realizes that there is no need for such foreplay. 
"Alright. Here. I..."
With one hard thrust, he jams himself in as hard as he can, with one hard push. "GOOOO!!!"

She moaned out loudly when he entered her. "YESSSS!~" Finally she is starting to have the sex she craves, at least it seems like it will be so. Deep inside she hopes Seph doesn't disappoint...or she is going to go looking for dick in the rest of the dungeon and maybe even the Sandgun base...doesn't matter if they consent to it or not. She hugged him tightly and began thrusting her hips down too, to get his dick to start fucking her pussy already.

With her hugging him tightly and supported on one leg, he begins to fuck her in earnest, thrusting up into her hard and fast, starting off just short of maximum capacity. 
Even in this form, he can feel her pussy clamp around his cock needily with each hard thrust up, yet he has no trouble whatsoever in entering her as she's more slick than he ever thought possible. 
"Ungh!" He grunts as he thrusts up, his hard thrust causing her body to jiggle against him.

The very horny rabbit huffs and moans as he trusts his synthetic cock into her needy pussy which is clamping and squeezing it quite a bit. "Aaahh!~" She responds to him thrusting himself up like this by thrusting her hips down with him, making it so that each and every movement they make goes as hard and as deep as possible.
Furret had decided to move herself back a bit, she doesn't want to risk interrupting them by being so close to them.

"Ungh... Oh yes!" Seph 'huffs' and moans deeply as he rams his large, thick 'meat' into her as hard as he can in this position. His grip tightens on her leg and hip as he pulls her down harder with each thrust up to increase the impact of each hard push up.
"You... NGH... Want this hard?" He grunts out in between thrusts.

"WE. CAN. GO. HARDER!~" She places her paws on his chest now, and proceeds to push him very hard down onto the ground, hard enough to make a cloud of sand rise around them for a moment. And now Jocelyn is thrusting her hips down upon his harder...no, she is hammering her hips down. "Come on! show me that you TAME me, Seph!~" Now it appears that she wants to 'play rough'. And based on what she said the Synth will probably have to try to reverse this situation he is in, since right now she is pretty much dominating him hard.

"Harder... Ngh... You say?!" He appears little worse for wear from the dust-raising push to the ground, as he's now thoroughly pushing up into her. For a  few moments, he simply lets her have her way after she issues that challenge, letting her slam her hips down onto him as he thrusts up into her, the two of them slamming into each other like an engine on overdrive. 
"You... ngh... wanna be... AHhh.. Tamed!?" He asks loudly. "Then..."
Suddenly he stops his upward thrusting to grab onto the crazed bunny rabbit hard, holding her in place for just a second, before he quickly rolls over, and pins her to the floor, his dick still buried inside of her. "That's what you'll get!!" He shouts as he thrusts down into her, his hips moving like a fast-moving piston to fuck her roughly.

The wild rabbit girl, had expected him to try to one up her, she tried to keep on top to no make this easy but Seph managed to get on top of her. And she couldn't be happier about letting herself go like this, to be consumed by her own lust while having such an intense sex. All she can do is moan and pant from the fucking she is getting in her pussy, which keeps on glamping and squeezing his cock tightly like her life depends on it. Although the Synth can't get too complacent here...he can feel that she is trying to grasp at him to roll over to get on top again, so he is going to have to remain firm still.
Meanwhile, Furret is watching on with wide eyes, she didn't thought sex like this was possible, it's so heavy-handed and rough that it isn't her style but she noted how both of them seems to be enjoying it, specially the Lopunny.

Seph does exactly that, his muscular robotic build doing all he can to keep her on the bottom of him while he pounds away rapidly at her pussy, his first round inside her fast approaching at this pace.

"Nnngh fuck!" He growls as he feels himself getting close. "I'm gonna cum in you! I'm gonna cum in your pussy whether you want it or not, and then  I'm gonna pull out, turn you over, and fuck your horny ass!" He growls while going as fast as he can, he intends to fill her up with his synthetic goo as much as he can down there.

She wants that, she so wants that he is promised. But first she wants him to cum his first load into her pussy, make her pregnant. She won't actually get pregnant, but at this point she doesn't care and if it was physically possible she would gladly bear the children of such a strong male. And when her orgasm hits her hard, she moans loudly, as if announcing to whoever can hear it how happy she is right now be fucked senseless by the Synth.

The synth in turn gives a few more hard thrusts before letting out a loud growl, giving one final thrust into her as he unloads his synthetic, thick, creamy, but largely useless goop into her, his dick shooting out streams of the stuff, so much that it fills her right up, and some of it begins to leak out the sides of the rabbit's pussy. 
However he barely offers her a few seconds of panting and rest before he gets to his knees. He roughly takes his rabbit... friend? acquaintance?  ... fuck buddy? Something where between that... and turns her onto her belly. Some of the sand sticks to the bunny's back, and in particular, the butt which he now wishes to enter, so he very quickly makes an effort to brush it off with this large hands.

The now-tamed rabbit shivered as his hands touch her, taking the sand off of her fur. "M...Mooore...moooore~" It would appear that she is able to at least say something once more, but it sounds like it's just her begging for him to stick his dick back into her. her paws grip at the sand under her, and she makes a small effort to get her knees firm on ground so she could raise her rump for him to give it a little shake. "M...Mooore!~"

"You want more?" Seph replies teasingly. He grips her slowly rising butt, and pulls it up a little further, before giving it a small teasing spank. He then takes his still drenched cock in his hand and lines it up with her needy ass. He figures if she wants it this badly, she must not have a problem with too much lack of lube, or, knowing her, must have lubed it up prior to their meeting.

She moaned and giggled when he gave her that spank on her ass cheek. But the rabbit girl remains in this position, with her ass ready to get a rough fucking like her pussy did. At least it might not be as hard as the previous fuck, right now she is docile but still very excited...certainly one more round should satisfy her.

"-Then you'll GET more!" He finishes as pushes himself into her butt. He goes in just a bit slower than he did her pussy, as even in this state he doesn't want to hurt her, but somehow he doubts he will anyway.

Did that actually hurt her? It's very hard to tell with her shivering in pleasure and moaning like she is in the zenith of sexual ecstasy that she is desperately clinging too. Though her rear feels pretty tight, specially with the muscles on her rear squeezing at the Synth's cock to further pleasure it as much as it is pleasuring her.

Given the reaction, he decides that it isn't. Or she's too pleasure-addled to realize it's pain. Either way, Seph decides to continue. He pulls his cock back, all but the head, and then begins to move his hips back and fourth, fucking her ass as he said he would. A soft pace at first, but quickly speeding up to just shy of how hard he was fucking her still dripping pussy, that tight ass squeezing his cock at the point of entry.

Seph can feel that the Lopunny's body, with the exception of her ass of course, is pretty relax right now. So every single thrust he gives her makes her body rock back and forth. "Nnngh!~ Aaaaaahhh...~"

Soon he is rocking her hard, almost as hard as he was in the previous rutt. 
"NNngh, fuck... Yeah!!" He growls as he roughly fucks her tight, needy ass. "You love this, don't you? Nnngh!"

"YES!!! YEEEEEEESSSS!!!!~" She responded to him with very much enthusiasm and lust in her voice. This Lopunny who has understood her place has submitted herself to be thoroughly fucked by the big, thick cock of Seph's, much like it's happening right now with him hammering his member into her ass at full force.

Hearing him below her like this fills him with pride, joy, and a sense of dominance and determination as he continues to fuck her. He shifts his hands, holding her mid section close to him with one hand while the other reaches around, and wildly rubs at her clit, adding ever more to the sensations she's feeling, while his hips do not slow down, fucking her at the same rapid pace he was before, though perhaps now his thrusts are shorter but harder. 
"NNGH FUCK!" He yells. While barely visible, there is a small bit of steam coming off of some parts of him from all of this hot hard fucking.

Once again Jocelyn is getting into that peak of pleasure that she wanted to be at just one more time. Her pussy still was filled with lubricant liquid that is the Synth's cum, and it was leaking it still. When he started rubbing her clit, her eyes rolled up and she looked out of breath for a moment. She is getting close, oh so close to another strong orgasm from getting her ass fucked.
It looks like it will be over soon, hopefully? Furret is still watching on and gets slightly worried for Seph when she notices that he is letting out some smoke, but she keeps watching without interrupting. Seph doesn't seem like he is hurting there, quite the opposite in fact, she will remain calm.

Seph feels himself getting close as well, and a good thing too, he's starting to get a few overheating warnings on his hud. 
"JOSSY!" He yells as he humps her hard. "I'M GONNA!!" 
He roars as he shoves his dick as far up her ass as he can, yelling as he releases a torrent of new cum into her well used and well heated bum, filling it up with his 'seed' up to its brim.

"GONNA!! CUUUUM!!!~" It was almost as if she was finishing his sentence for him there, but the sensation between the two is surely very mutual at this point. As those last humps were delivered into her rear, Jocelyn moaned so loudly it was more of a scream than anything else. Her orgasm is hitting and it's hitting hard, her pussy is squirting plenty of juice again and what's more apparent is that her whole body begins glowing again and the Lopunny gets brought back to her previous form as her stamina had finally been exhausted. She is indeed very tired from all of that, her eyes are very unfocused but she still has that look on her face of pure bliss. "T...Thank...you~" With the last of what little time consciousness she had, she gives Seph her sincerest gratitude before falling asleep there and then.

He remains in her butt as she drifts off to sleep for just a bit, the large robot steaming from all the activity, overheat warnings still going off.
"W... Woah.. That was..." He's barely able to speak coherently. 
It's just then that he eyes his furret girlfriend. "Erm... I wouldn't touch me right now if I were you." He quickly eyes himself down. "... Yeah, the mechanics aren't going to be happy about this."

the Furret was just approaching when he told her not to touch him. And when she looked down at the Lopunny and saw a scorch mark around her midsection in the shape of the Synth's hand, she understood how hot he must be in the literal sense. "Oh, it's okay, I won't. You think she will be okay though?"

"Erm..." Seph looks back at her as the steam finally starts to die down a bit. he carefully and slowly pulls himself out of the lopunny. "Yeah. I think she will. It sounds like she's done this sort of thing before."
He lays back in the sands, spreading himself out.
"If you don't mind, I'm going to do a bit of a diagnostic on myself here..." He says. "Oh... oh boy. Yeah that's gonna need replacement.  And that.... I'll have to be careful about that for the mean time... whew." He comments. "That took a lot out of me."

What Seph is saying there sounds a bit worrying but certainly he is going to be fine. Furret goes over to Jocelyn to check if she is okay now, it appears that the rabbit really is sleeping after all of that.

They stay like that for just a little while, giving Seph a little time to cool off. Eventually his temperature readings return to normal. However, now there's a new message on his hud.
".... aww great." He groans. "Looks like HQ's calling me back."
He slowly gets up, and goes over to the furret to help her up as well.

She looks down at the Lopunny for a moment, who is still sleeping peacefully. "Do we simply leave her here or...?" The Furret is not sure if she herself alone would be able to lift up the sleeping female.

"Of course not." Seph carefully squats down, taking the lopunny by the arm and body and putting it over his shoulder.
"We take her back with us to the base." He says as he gets back up and looks to the mouth of the cave.
"Well then, shall we away?" He asks as he extends his free hand, the one not holding the lopunny on his shoulder, to his girlfriend to take.

"Okay." She smiles and takes his hand and then they are on their way to the base.
As they approach they hear a couple of voices talking in the entrance, it sounds like they are arguing in fact. It's coming from the entrance of the base.
"Isaac. What's with that attitude all of the sudden? I already told you that the Avali are our friends."
"No, they see us as just fucking lackeys with the way you have been presenting us to them. We can do a lot more than this, you know? Instead it looks like we are all bending over backwards for a bunch of space birds that probably smell like piss."
"Well all these things you are going to propose have the risk of falling in the hands of our enemies. Especially the Miniknog, if they are involved then we must let them get a single whiff of the best we have created, both technological AND biological."
"Do you not think that we are wasting our time with the Avali while their rivals seem far more our speed?"
"To think i would have to hear this coming from you. You are starting to sound like a novel. Are you absolutely sure that replacing your heart, spine AND brain with advanced machinery hasn't changed you for the worst? Let me make one thing clear to you, if it was the Ministry of Knowledge they wouldn't be our friends like the Avali are like. We have to be BETTER than them!"
"While appearing completely insignificant and not making an effort to be better than them. Yes, great plan."
"This isn't something we have faced before, you know? Our previous opponents were always technologically inferior then us, we could easily outmaneuver them, perhaps our best could even overpower them. But the chance of us having a taste of our own medicine is more likely than you think if we don't do this cautiously." 

Seph at first looks like he's about to approach them to ask them what's going on, but-
"Ah, there ya are ya big lug!"
Seph turns to face the source of the voice, and there is a somewhat annoyed Neso with his hands on his hips. 
"We've been trying to get ahold of you for the last hour! Where have you-"
It's at that moment that he notices the sleeping bunny on his shoulders. 
"... Oh. I see." He says with half a deadpan, half jealously.

Furret was wondering what all that talking was about too, before Neso should up at least. "Ah, is something going on right now?" Based on Neso's tone it looks like they need Seph for something serious...
Meanwhile those two continue talking still.
"Like, we got that robot, remember? That one supposedly has 'infinite potential' because he is as free-willed as all of us."
"Yes, Kai, I know him. But even I don't want his weapons system falling into the wrong hands. Sure you may argue that those 'Protogen' and 'Synths' are similar but I haven't had the time to fully delve into that to find out for sure."

Seph looks over at the group upon mentioning him. Or rather his kind.
"Is... something going on?" Seph asks Neso.
"Eh, they had a meeting earlier. And now they're kinda arguing with each other." He replies.

The two humans that are arguing there are Isaac and Mattias, and they notice that there are some people looking at them.
"Well, that's that Synth they said they would call, i think soon you are going to start going on the missions so listen." Mattias points to the other human's face. "Don't go saying anything that would get you in trouble, I expect you to be reasonable, so be reasonable around the Avali, I already have enough to worry about."
Isaac just stares at him. "*Sigh*. Right, fine."  he shrugged.
"Good." Now the other human begins walking back into the base to go to the teleporter, leaving Isaac where he is.

"Missions?" The synth asks, scratching his head.
"Yeah, we've been trying to ring you about it for the last hour. Seems you were a bit... busy." Neso comments.
"... Yeah, you could say that." He comments back. 
"Well, drop the babe off and meet me back here, and..."
He stops mid sentence. 
"Wait... did you... damage yourself?!" Neso suddenly asks a bit worriedly. This gets a nervous laugh from Seph. 
"Yeah.. I might have overheated myself at that moment."
"... Oh for the Nexus's sake, Seph!" He groans. "How bad is it?"
"I'm ... gonna need an hour or so of maintenance." He says as he turns to head to where he was going to drop Jossy off.
"Well, that's just great." Neso groans to himself.

Furret isn't part of Sandgun base's forces proper, so she can't follow Seph into the base. "I didn't know it was possible for him to hurt himself having sex of all things..." She comments to the Avali.

"I didn't either, actually." Neso replies back to her.

"I hope he will be okay." Though she has to admit she had a good time with Seph too, the event sure got intense by the end. For now Furret is just going to go to another part of the dungeon.
Isaac approaches Neso then. "Alright so I saw that the Synth came back...with that whore. So does that mean we are all ready to start kicking ass?"

Neso narrows his eyes for a moment at Isaac's blatant disrespect for Joscyln. But, he... can't exactly say he's wrong, so he doesn't bring it up.
"In a bit. Let's just say his... 'recent activities'" He makes air-quotes with his talons "have caused just a bit of damage. Not a whole lot, but enough to overheat some parts of him, so he'll have to run some maintenance by the looks of things. After that, definitely."

"So we are getting delayed because she decided to make use of her ass and pussy?" He might not sound like it, but to highlight his frustration he throws his arms up. "Well shit."

"Hey, it's not like I can do anything about it!" Neso complains in protest. 
Just then the rest of his pack arrives on the scene, including the now espeon Veers. 
"Just heard that Seph came back." Eili says. "And a bit damaged. Is he gonna be alright?"
"Yeah, in about an hour or so." Neso replies back to her.

The human looks at everyone present here. "Hhhmm, so let me see if i get this right. Together with Serph, it is you guys who are going to be joining us in the operations, right?" One would be forgiving for expect him to express disappointment in what he would add following that sentence. "Okay so, look. I think we can do this. Even if they got guns they are still bandits."

"Yeah the last time we encountered a bandit with a gun he took us by surprise with it." Neso nods. "This time we know what to expect, right? Shouldn't be too hard."
He doesn't notice Veers shaking somewhat at the memories of that.

"Well they won't take us by surprise anymore, it's not like they even trying to hide the fact they have guns." The man shrugs and turns around to start entering the Sandgun base. "See you guys in an hour or so."

"See you. We'll come and get you when the mission is ready."
In the mean time, Seph has dropped off the sleepy slutty bunny in the appropriate dorm, and is currently with the mechanic undergoing light repairs.
