Chapter 03: The Slave Circlet (NOTE: First crossover reference! The Squaresoft game mentioned in this chapter is Bahamut Lagoon a Japan only SRPG game released in 1996 in Japan. I recommend you all play this game. It has been fan translated in English. If you love strategy RPGs or monster ranching games, then go check Bahamut Lagoon out. It's a pretty awesome overlooked game.) --- Meanwhile, back at Vector, the capital of the Gestahlian empire, Celes got done fighting in a gladiator match in the Imperial Battle Arena. This battle arena was located in good reach within Gestahl's palace. Many battles, both physical and magical, took place within this arena. The fighters included humans, demi-humans and monsters, all being pitted against each other in a brutal cycle of mortal combat. Many people all over the empire would flock to these fights that took place from within. It was a brutal, but spectacular sight to behold. Celes Chere, the sole female general of the empire, was also one of the top gladiators whom fought some glorious battles in the arena. Very few times Celes lost, but for most of the time, Celes was a powerful gladiatrix that used both magic and physical strength to take down her enemy opponents. Many people who watch these fights rooted for Celes. The female general was both feared and revered by many associated with the empire. Girl wanted to be like her, boys wanted to be with her. That is how famous and powerful General Celes Chere was. Today, the match was against regular human prisoners. It was just a mere warm up exercise for the upcoming big battle that shall take place within the arena tomorrow. This upcoming battle Celes shall face was against a powerful being known as Lord Alexander, the dragon eidolon of light. This light dragon eidolon, was once an inhabitant of the eidolon world of Altair. However, Alexander was extremely jealous of Bahamut and he yearned to be the king of the dragon eidolons. Bahamut heard of Alexander's rebellious behavior and plots to overthrow him, and so, Bahamut banished the light dragon to the mortal world of Midgard, so he wouldn't have any competition for the throne. Lord Alexander has been feeling pretty livid and spiteful towards Bahamut ever since he was exiled. Celes was feeling very nervous about the upcoming battle against Lord Alexander. Usually, Celes fought against weaker eidolons that have been either captured by the empire, or banished from Altair for crimes against their kind. However, Lord Alexander was a whole different story. Alexander is rumored to be one of the most powerful high eidolons in existence. Even he struck fear and awe in many living beings. Even the other eidolons were fearful and in awe over him, especially when he had the nerves to try and overthrow King Bahamut himself. Even though she felt sick to her stomach, Celes hid her uneasiness as best as she could and went on about her business within the imperial palace. --- Down at the foot of the castle, General Leo was taking a cigarette break, as he observed the magi-tek knights coming down with cages full of demi-human prisoners. He witnessed the magitek knights get off their mechas, climbing off the massive machines and going down to the iron cages full of prisoners. There, the magi-tek knights brought out the slave circlets Kefka mass produced, and puts them around the demi-humans' heads just before they would have a chance to fight back. General Leo straightens out his gold and green trench coat as he takes another puff of his cigarette. He was deep in thought, as he pondered whether or not he was doing the right thing with being a general for the empire. “Those slave circlets...” Leo thought to himself as he witnessed the demi-humans being reduced to mindless slaves. “I think Kefka has gone too far...” “Hey Leo boy!” Kefka shouted as he took one of the female demi-human slaves and presented her to Leo. The young woman was a demi-human of dragonite descent. The dragonite woman had gold horns, purple hair tied into a braid, yellow eyes and wore a pair of red, white and gold robes that resembled a uniform that a Shinto shrine maiden would wear. “Look at the beauty I caught today!” “Ummm....Kefka...” Leo stuttered nervously, only to be interrupted by Kefka once more. “This comfort maiden is all yours Leo.” Kefka interrupted. “You need to get laid. You don't want to die a virgin, do you? Oh ho ho ho!” Leo now felt disgusted with Kefka's offer. “That is really sick Kefka. These are living sentient beings, not blow up sex dolls used for your sick amusement.” Kefka frowned at Leo and groaned. “My god Leo...do you even want to have any fun in your life?” “I'm sorry Kefka....I just can't take advantage of these creatures like you can.” Leo said as he shook his head in shame. Kefka folded his arms and held his nose up in the air. “My my Leo, you are such a prude.” “Maybe....” Leo said back as calmly as he could. “But I have better things to do than to take advantage of these slave girls you keep capturing.” “Humph! You are so damned boring.” Kefka pouted as he turned his back on Leo and beckoned the dragonite slave girl to follow him. “Come young lady. You're better off with me. At least I'm not a boring ass prude.” Leo ignored Kefka and puts out his cigarette. “I swear, some people have no morals nor class. What did Emperor Gestahl see in Kefka in the first place?” --- In the gladiator's training quarters, Celes was practicing various attack moves, both physical and magical. She knew she had to use both styles of fighting to take down her opponent that she was going to fight tomorrow. Celes knew for a fact that she wasn't going to be alone on this battle match. Emperor Gestahl order some fellow female gladiators, or gladiatrices as they were properly called, to team up with their fellow leader to take down Lord Alexander in tomorrow's match. General Celes was extremely thankful for that request. She felt a tad bit more at ease, knowing she was going to get some help in the upcoming battle. The major thing Celes was nervous about was not about winning or losing, but winning favor with the Gestahlian Empire itself. This was the fight that was going to either make or break Celes' reputation as not only a powerful gladiatrix and general, but as being favorable amongst the Imperial citizens and Emperor Gestahl himself. While in the middle of training, a portly old man around 60 year age range entered the quarters. The man wore a yellow hooded raincoat with a white shirt with black paisley patterns, baggy black and white striped pants and wore red loafers. His hair was covered by his hood, but he did have a huge mustache on his face that was orange and gray. The portly man approached Celes and said, “Whoa whoa Celes...How long have you been nailing those decoys?” Celes stops what she's doing and looks over at the man. “Oh, hello Cid. What brings you here?” “How long have you been here?” Cid asked Celes. It was obvious that Cid was Celes' legal guardian who doted on her growing up. Cid seemed like the only person that Celes could trust. Everyone else seemed suspicious or under complete mind control via slave circlet. It was a relief that Celes at least had a legal guardian who loved her and cared about her in return. She would do anything to make Doctor Cid proud. “I've been here since the end of today's match.” Celes panted as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I want to do my very damned best tomorrow. This match is going to make or break my reputation and credibility. I just....” “You want Emperor Gestahl to be proud of you, don't you?” Cid asked as he sat down on a nearby bench. “Y...yes.” Celes panted in exhaustion as she stopped her training. “I want to prove myself to be not only a worthy gladiator, but a worthy general as well. I just...I just....*yawn*” “You take it easy Celes my dear.” Cid said as Celes went over to him and sat down next to him. “It doesn't pay to push yourself past the breaking point. Even the finest and most famous of gladiators need their rest.” “True...true...” Celes sighed in weariness. She puts her sword back in its sheathe and drinks from her gourd water bottle. “I do kind of push myself hard. I guess....I'm just a perfectionist, that's all.” “It's okay...” Cid said as he pats Celes on the back. “I understand how you feel. I really do.” Celes looks over at the grandfather clock, and notices what time it was. “Man, it's already 5:00 PM. I think I'm going to take a shower. I smell like a stale bag of cheese curls.” “Take care Celes.” Cid said as he kissed his daughter on the forehead. “Remember, don't let tomorrow's match get you down. I believe in you my dear Celes.” “Thank you Cid...” Celes said back, smiling. “I believe in you too.” --- Meanwhile, in Kefka's bedchamber, the court jester took the dragonite slave girl to his room and shuts the door behind her. He locks the door and then faces his new war prize, smiling in lustful delight. He couldn't wait for this monster girl to please him, to serve him, and to do whatever he tells her to do without protesting. “Vwe hee hee! Well my little dragon lady, here is your first command. “ Kefka cackled as he faces his slave girl. “I want you to take off all your clothes. I want to strip completely naked. Yesssss....naked just like they day you hatched. Wee hee hee! I can't wait to see your sexy naked body.” So the dragonite slave girl did as she was told. The first to go was her elaborate priestess jewelry. Second, was her sandals and tabi socks, leaving her sleek feet bare, rubbing against the purple carpet floor. Third, the red priestess skirt dropped to the ground, after that, she undos her white and gold yukata robe. Now, the dragonite girl was down to nothing but her sarashi bra and pale white panties. “Oh my! Oh my! Uweeeeee! I can't wait to see you completely naked my dragon lady.” Kefka screeched in delight as he awaited to see his slave naked. The dragonite girl finally started to take off her panties and then, her bra. Kefka licked his lips as he eyed his slave's naked body. “Good....good...here's what to do next my pretty little dragon lady....” Kefka unzipped the zipper on his trousers and points down at his crotch. “See my junk? I want you to get on your hands and knees, and touch it with your hands and mouth.” So the dragonite girl did as she was told and started to please Kefka in such a raunchy manner. She started with her hands, and rubbed him off until he was fully stiff. Kefka moaned and shrieked in delight, with the feel of the dragonite girl's soft hands on his member. He couldn't wait for the slave girl to use her mouth on him. “Now....use your mouth dragon lady. Suck and blow all the way. Mwa ha ha ha!” Kefka cackled as he commanded his dragonite slave girl to please him even further. Now not only did the dragonite girl use her hands, but now her mouth as well. Kefka's head was now in the clouds as she alternated between sucking, licking, stroking and rubbing. “Mmmm....mmm....good dragon lady! Good girl! Ahhhhh....!” --- In the meantime, Celes was now taking a shower after a long day of battles and training. She sheds her armor and clothing, opens the shower curtains, turns on the water, and finally jumps into the shower. As Celes got herself under the shower faucet, she moaned in relief as the warm water dripped and poured all over her naked body. “Oh man! What a long day...” First off, Celes soaked her body completely in the warm water, embracing its steamy warmth. After being completely soaked from head to toe, Celes reaches over the the fruit scented shampoo over on the shelf. She loved the smell of this shampoo. It reminded her of the fruits and berries she would harvest from the gardens that she grew with her legal guardian Cid. Just as Celes started to scrub her hair clean with the sweet scented shampoo, she heard some moaning and shrieking noises from the room next to her bathroom. Right next door to Celes' bathroom, was Kefka's bedchamber. “Now what the hell is that freak up to now?” --- In Kefka's bedchamber, the court mage was now taking things even further with his dragonite slave girl. He thrusts from behind her, and grabs onto her golden dragon horns. He used all his strength to please himself by using the dragonite girl with the slave circlet. “Mwa ha ha ha! This slave crown is a magnificent creation!” Kefka laughed out loud, not knowing that Celes was watching him from her shower, via a really tiny crack in her restroom walls. Kefka never noticed the crack in his room, and perhaps, he didn't care. All he cared about is using his slave crown for his own personal pleasure and leisure. Yes indeed, Kefka was proud of his improved version of a horrendous mind control device. “I don't know what General Leo is missing out on!” Kefka moaned as he thrusts harder and faster into the dragonite girl. “General Leo is such a prude indeed. I wonder how big his winky dink is? Knowing him, he probably has an extra belly button down there. Oh ho ho!” After a while, Kefka reached his climax, as he screeched and hollered in delight. “Hoo yes! Yessss! Good dragon lady! Good girl! Ahhhh!” The dragonite girl just knelt there, emotionless as per usual, no thanks to the slave circlet. The demi-human had no clue she was participating in a act of lust and domination. All she did was follow orders. Everything else, she was powerless against. After Kefka got done, he started to bark yet another order to his dragonite slave. “Good girl! You made me a happy man. Now, you see that treasure chest over there? I want you to sleep in it. That is your bed!” “Yes master.” The dragonite girl said with no emotions as she crawls into the cramped treasure chest and shuts the box behind her. On top, there were some hole drilled in, so the slave can breathe. Little did Kefka know that he was being watched by a shocked and horrified fellow general. --- “Oh no!” Celes gasped as she washed the soap off of her. “That is sick and disgusting! I wonder if the Emperor knows about this?” Celes wanted to go in Kefka's room and free the dragonite girl, but she knew that would be frowned upon. Kefka was a very unpredictable man, and Celes didn't feel like facing his wrath for freeing the dragonite girl. At the same time, Celes wanted to report this sick act to the Emperor, but she chose not too. She was afraid of losing favor with her people, even though she disapproved of Kefka's slave circlet invention, as well as brainwashed demi-humans being robbed of their minds and emotions, and being reduced to mindless flesh and blood robots. Celes tried to get those thoughts out of the way, as she continued to wash off the soap and suds. “Damn! If it isn't one thing...its another....If only there was a way.....” After the shower, Celes dried off and slipped into her white night gown. She got out of the bathroom and started to just sit there on her bed, deep in thought over all the things she's going through at this moment. But she knew she should not lose face, no matter what. She was faithful to the empire, and she just had to co-operate with them....no matter what.
