It was early morning when they reached the border between the zones. Right at the border they stopped in shock.
“It just stops,” whispered Miere. “The forest just stops.”
The familiar forest surrounded them to the east, south, and west. The warm rich smells of the woods swirled around them, bringing the smell of blue bonnets and moss to her senses. She could feel the moist heat of the air and listened to the buzz of smaller insects that had been present every day of her short life.
The north was not familiar. It was painfully alien to her senses as her eyes flitted from one strange tree to another. Unlike the first zone, the trees to the north were gnarled as an old goblin cock and dripping from every ridge and bump with clear fluids. It looked disturbingly like pre-cum as it splattered to the ground, puddling into thick rivers that moved too slowly to be water.
The ground was thick with slime. It coated everything from dark gray grasses and planets to the rocks. There were no sharp edges anywhere she could see, any ridge was covered in slime.
Then the smell came. It was thick and and pungent, like rotten preserves or a massive room filled with mushrooms of every flavor. The scent came in waves as the dripping slime continued to splatter and splash as far as she could see before her.
“Even the trees are cut in half!” said Miere with open-mouthed surprise.
Erlea looked at the nearest tree. It was bisected down the middle, a straight line that marked the end of everything she had known with the horrors that were before her. The tree was otherwise healthy, at least the half she could see.
On the other side, the slime trees also ended up sharply. Not even the rivers of slime crossed over the barrier, it splashed against an invisible wall before surging back into the slime forest.
Erlea felt a sinking sensation in her gut. She didn't want to enter the next zone. Her wings fluttered with her thoughts. It didn't matter if the Shucks were beyond the slime forest, or that their adventures took them, the lands were just too foreign and alien.
“Oh,” groaned Billie. “I have to walk through that crap?”
She pulled a face and shook her head. “At least you bitches can fly.”
Erlea flinched as she realized she was thinking the same thing. She couldn't imagine not hovering over the ground.
“How well do you think we'll fly with our wings covered in slime?” asked Tira.
Erlea flushed hotly.
“One splatter, one good splash and we're going to be walking right next to you.” She stretched with a grim smile. “Unlike your pretty little bee asses, Falene can't hover so I'm going to be slime-bound.”
Miere lifted further away from the ground as if the thought disgusted her. “What's it like over there?”
“Wet,” snapped the moth girl. She took a deep breath and stepped across the line.
Turning around, she held out her hands. “See? You just have—”
A thick dollop of slime smacked against her head.
Erlea snorted and ducked her head.
Tira's lips tightened as the clear fluid rolled down her face, dribbling off her nose and splashing onto her large breasts. She exhaled hard and then wiped it from her face. “I hate slime.”
Billie stepped forward, her feet reforming into heavy boots. Her face twisted in a scowl as she stepped hard into a wet puddle with a loud smack. “I'm supposed to be the brave one.”
Tira shrugged and turned around. She started down a path, her light boots splashing through the thick.
Billie stormed forward, splashing through the muck and slime. She reached the Falene and then pushed ahead to take the lead.
Miere buzzed over to Erlea. She reached out and slipped her fingers into her lover's grip. “We have to.”
Erlea buzzed for a moment, and then lowered herself to the ground. The soft grass tickled her toes but she knew it would be too soon before she was squelching through slime and muck.
Miere tightened her grip and let out a soft whimper.
“Come on, love, might as well walk through this.”
“I… I'm scared.”
Erlea smiled and tugged down.
Her lover hesitated for a moment before sinking down to the soft ground. Her bare feet sink into the soft soil. “I'm going to hate this.”
Erlea grinned. “Yes.”
“But we have to, right?”
“Yes. Come on.”
Together, they stepped into the zone.
Erlea's foot smacked into the thick layer of slime. It swallowed up her toes as she suppressed a shudder of disgust and fear. It was warmer than she expected, not quite the heat of a summer day but at least the warmth of her honeycomb home.
Next to her, Miere made a disgusted noise in the back of her throat but she followed after. “This is so… disgusting.”
“I know—”
“Fuck!” screamed Billie ahead of them. “Help!”
Erlea gasped and then shot forward, ripping away from her lover as she summoned her Barrier around her. Energy crawled along her hand as she blasted through half-rotted branches and splattered dripping slime everywhere.
Behind her, she heard Miere buzzing to follow but her lover couldn't keep up.
“Billie!” Erlea cried out.
“Fuck! Fuck!”
The bee followed the sounds, jerking along one path and then another. There was no trail to follow, only the sounds of Billie's sword arms whistling through the air.
She burst out into a clearing and then saw Tira and Billie fighting against what appeared to be a wall of slime dripping off a tree. Billie's sword and Tira's knife didn't seem to be doing anything other that slicing open.
Erlea stopped in surprise. What were they attacking? It looked like they were just cutting into a wall of water or fabric, not a monster.
Then two large eyes floated up along the wall. They were white with black pupils, each one about the size of a fist.
Her mouth opened in surprise.
The wall bulged out, surging from the trees. A thick pseudopod stretched out from the side. The end gathered into a large sphere of clear fluids; it's body moved like the slime dripping from the tree, layer after layer of gathering until it was larger than her head.
The pseudo-pod swung to one side. It smacked against a tree. The impact dislodged a rainfall of more slime to fall. It was almost impossible to track the pseudopod through the falling slime as it came swinging back across.
Tira snapped her damp wings hard and the momentum pulled her away to avoid the blow.
The pseudopod slammed into Billie's chest. The ground shook from the impact as the beetle girl was ripped from her feet and tossed across the clearing.
The moth snapped forward with her wings and slashed down, severing the stretched out pseudopod.
The two ends snapped apart. The air cracked as the ends slammed back into the mass of slime and into Billie's chest.
The beetle was thrown off her feet again. Her feet kicked out as she landed and a low groan filled the air.
The slime oozed out of the woods, a gelatinous mass that rolled away from the trees until it peeled away from its shelter. It was massive, eight feet tall and almost twelve across. The entire thing was translucent, with snapped off branches and leave bobbing deep inside its body. The two eyeballs spun around and then one focused itself on Tira as the other rose up to look directly Erlea.
The gaze broke Erlea's thoughts. She ground her teeth together and launched up into the air. Her wings buzzed angrily.
The slime gathered up a glob of itself and threw it at her.
She ducked to avoid it and then fired a RKA back. The sparkling energy screamed as it covered the distance into the slime and slammed deep into its body. It exploded in a muted boom that splattered everything around it in a thick layer of slime.
Tira beat her wings hard enough that she was thrown back to avoid the splatter. “Keeping hitting that thing! This thing is almost invulnerability to sharp weapons! Billie, switch to clubs!”
Billie groaned as she struggled to get up.
Tira's wings snapped again, throwing her back in time to avoid another blow from the slime creature. Her form blurred from the speed of her movement. “I'll get Billie, solo this thing and avoid its blows!”
Erlea answered by firing again at the blob. Her RKAs exploded inside it with muted booms that splattered everything with slime.
It threw more pseudopods at her but she easily dodged while firing back. The muted blasts shook the ground and rattled the trees. Slime splattered everywhere as she blew apart the blob blast by blast. With every shot, she marveled at how resilient the creature was; goblin's heads blew off with every blast but the blob easily took a dozen before she managed to whittle it down to small, bucket sized masses.
Sweat dripping down her back and breasts, she switched her attack to rapid fire. The steady explosions blew holes into the ground as she hammered down blow after blow until the entire area around the amorphous blob was a smoking mass.
Erlea panted as she stared at the ground looking for any hint of movement. Her wings buzzed loudly as she scanned back and forth.
When the long seconds passed, she relaxed. She turned to look for Miere.
Her lover was hovering above the trees, clutching herself but staying well away from the fight. She was vulnerable to goblin net attacks or whatever this zone had to offer in ranged attacks.
Erlea started to say something but then realized that neither Tira nor Billie had rejoined the fight. A frown cross her face and she held up a hand. “Hold on, love.”
She turned and flew to where she remembered Billie had been tossed.
When she saw Billie crawling to her feet, she let out a sigh of relief and released her Barrier. She landed in a thick layer of slime. It squelched around her toes, the warmth lapping at her ankles. “Billie, are you…”
Billie wasn't moving.
Erlea frowned and peered closer.
Billie's shoulder was up against a tree. A slime ran down the trunk onto her shoulder and then down along her carapace. Sheets of it splashed off her hips and ran down her thighs. More of it was dripping from her outstretched fingers.
“B-Billie?” she asked, her body tensing. “What's wrong?”
Billie's body shuddered. Her head slowly turned to reveal that she had slime coating her face and chest. She had her mouth open as if to say something but no sound came from her glistening face. A wave of slime dripped over her mouth and a bubble formed from her breath.
It took only a moment to realize the thick covering of slime was moving up, not down.
Erlea inhaled sharply. She glanced down to see that slime was also covering her hips and her inner thighs. The rippling movements were purposeful as they slid up and down between the breeder's legs. It looked like another pseudopod but it was only a few inches of movement visible from between Billie's legs.
The beetle's body shuddered again as her eyes rolled up in her head. She sagged against the tree with a moan. The sound caused a bubble to pop over her mouth.
Suddenly terrified, Erlea pulled back her hand to fire an RKA but then realized she couldn't use it without hurting her friend.
Before she could come up with another plan, something wet slammed up between her legs. It smacked against her pussy, splashing and surging over her pubis with a tingling heat. The thick layer rolled over her hips and burrowed between her cheeks to tickle her sphincter.
Erlea gasped as the heat ignited inside her. Forgetting Billie for a moment, she clamped her legs together and clawed at the slime that was rippling up her belly. Her fingers were slick as she tried to claw it away from her opening.
The slime slurped around her digits and swirled back to press against her sphincter again. It felt like it was trying to worm into the tight opening but she clenched down with all her might to keep it.
But even as she focused on the slime moving against her asshole, it was also crawling up her legs and across her belly. Ripples brought the slime across her belly and up to her breasts. The covered skin tingled, spreading an intense heat rolling through her body as she felt her mind grow foggy from a breeder's lust.
Erlea gasped as she felt the slime encase her breasts. The tingling pleasure radiating from her nipples and along the sensitive skin. It swirled through her body, setting off tiny orgasms.
Her knees started to buckle under the onslaught.
She grabbed her breasts with both hands, clawing at them as she tried to free herself from the slime that was swallowing her. She was feeling too much pleasure, her body was starting to respond by relaxing the opening to her pussy.
The slime at her sphincter suddenly surged into her opening, flooding her bowels with tingling pleasure.
Erlea's eyes opened wide as she gasped. The heated pressure sank deep into her rectum, teasing against sensitive nerves. It kept flooding in her as more slime poured into her ass in a rippling surge of overwhelming pleasure.
“N-No!” she screamed as she felt to her knees.
Her wings smacked against the ground. She tried to spread the to fly away but the slime surged up from the ground to capture them, pulling her tight to the ground.
Lost in helpless pleasure, she couldn't do anything as the slime pried open her sphincter and began to flow deeper inside her, swirling and sloshing.
She slumped forward. She knew it was too late, she was about to bred by the creature that had ambushed her.
Her pussy flowered open with her surrender.
The slime poured into her cunt, flooding her instantly with tingling pleasures. It filled her completely in an instant and then slurped out. Each ripple of thick liquid inside her pussy and ass brought indescribable pleasures to her body as it pumped in and out.
Without the hardness of a goblin or creature, the slime managed to press against every ridge and surface at the same time. It rippled and surged, stretching her out from the inside her until her belly swelled and then evacuating with a rush that left her gasping for air.
Erlea's sobs grew more frantic as the slime rose up to her lips. She tried to clamp her mouth down but it was too late. It surged past her lips and then into her mouth. She felt it squirt past her teeth and swell open, prying her jaw apart as more of it came flooding inside her.
The slime tasted of metal and salt. It was overwhelming as it poured into her throat, choking and gagging her. Then just as her lungs began to burn, it ripped out of her throat leaving only the wet taste of its body behind.
She tried to push it out with her tongue but it slipped away. With her rapidly crumbling thoughts, she tried to clamp down her inner muscles on the ones intruding her ass and pussy but the slime only sloshed from one side to the other.
The slime stopped surging and and began to flood inside her. She felt the pressure building, stretching her inner walls and pussy as it gathered at the opening of her womb. Her stomach also swelled as it flooded her esophagus and down into her belly.
She gurgled and gagged on it. Squirming, she tried to escape but her hands didn't seem to be working anymore. Instead, orgasms wracked her body with endless waves as the slime continued to invade her.
In the corner of her vision, she saw that Billie was on the ground now, her belly swollen to obscene girth as the last of the slime sucked up into her pussy and vagina. Both sets of the beetle girl's lips gaped for a moment and then slowly closed over the boiling liquid inside.
Erlea gasped as she felt the same, she was being filled completely. Her body shuddered with another orgasm, each one growing more intense as she crumbled to the ground and pawed at her swollen belly.
The rounded end of the creature slurped up into her asshole first. It set off another wave of ecstasy as she felt it twist and swirl inside her, the unnatural currents caressing every nerve with cruel pleasure.
Her nipples were suddenly free from the creature attacking her. She could feel it pouring past her lips, prying them apart as the creature peeled away from her body as it continued to invade her insides.
Erlea's eyes rolled up in her head as the orgasms began to blur into each other. It was no longer wave after wave of pleasure but a storm of ecstasy that hammered against her senses. She collapsed as the last of the slime creature sucked into her mouth and pussy and burrowed deeper inside her organs.
She moaned and clutched her belly. The pleasure was still assaulting her senses, the constant shifting of the slime that packed her pussy and ass was too much. She could feel the intensity growing at her cervix as the slime creature worked its way into her fertile depths.
With the first spurt of the creature into her depths, she let out a shuddering gasp of need and then let her mind crumble under the constant onslaught of orgasms.
