Chapter 29 Fracture
The way Roxi flies through the enemy fire and razes them out of the sky impresses even Rogue pilot Peregrin. We still have a large span to cover before we reach Torskus fleet, but Roxi leads the charge, countering enemy fire so it does not make it through to Rogue fleet at our back.
Roxi’s ship has a unique weapon that she fires back at us any time a shot gets through. It has the same effect as Nix, essentially negating the pulse, missile, or otherwise via dispersal.
BlazeStar and Centurion, carrying the most civilians, portal out of the fringe of Gibarin first. Aegis hangs back with us.
Behind it, I get a glimpse of Toriszi’s portal net ship.
Reidar and Kelta, his descendants, also have them and are jumping Rebel ships out of the system.
But as Torusk’s leading wave of ships closes in, their numbers twice ours, I know Roxi is right.
We’re not going to be able to hold them off forever.
Fracture>>Supercharge: Request joint operation.
Supercharge>>Fracture: What do you have in mind?
I scan ahead to the forwardmost ship of the Solcruean fleet.
Fracture>>Supercharge: The Darkstar. Cut off the head of the snake.
I send him a visual attack plan.
Fracture>>Supercharge: Confirm?
Supercharge>>Fracture: Confirm. On intercept course.
I get up.
Fracture>>Local: Open the ramp. I have a mission with Supercharge.
Peregrin opens the ramp, which initiates a sealscreen. I shed my weapons.
Castor>>Fracture: Plan?
Fracture>>Castor: Promise me you take care of Roxi if I don’t come back.
Castor looks back at me with a warning in his eyes like he doesn’t want me to do what I’ve got my mind set on.
“Castor.”
“Fine! Go. Fuck!” Castor returns his attention to the gun he’s in charge of.
I sigh.
Fracture>>Castor: We’re not going to win by fighting.
Castor>>Fracture: I’ve lost enough friends. Just… hold it together.
I smirk and wink back at him, then crawl out of the airlock and over the ship. Supercharge stands atop the FI-1. I point out a target path, send him the trajectory over our telenet, then we light up our rocket boots.
I fly out into space and meet up with him. When we collide, his crackling orange energy flashes over his body, and we become oddly magnetized. Shoulder to shoulder, we race toward Darkstar.
Supercharge>>Fracture: You sure about this?
Fracture>>Supercharge: Fuck no. But it’s their softest spot. And we have Roxi’s mind behind this. I trust her.
Supercharge>>Fracture: Understood.
He frees the pulse cannon from his back, hands it to me, then drops back, so I fly ahead of him.
We swerve between the oncoming missiles and pinpoint DarkStar’s main engine. I don’t need the rocket to destroy the engine completely, just slow it enough that I don’t get twisted up like Drillbit.
Pulling up my angry mode, I steady myself for impact.
Obsidian>>Supercharge: Three… Two… One.
I fire. The rocket barrels inside the engine. I chase it, fragmenting into glass, dark and angry. Behind me, Supercharge lights up with frantic crags of orange lightning. I feel it surge through me as I thrust my broken body through the hot tunnel of the engine.
Pieces of the engine and its housing shred around me in black crate and jagged orange light. Scorching metal rips apart. An explosion goes off as Supercharge shoots through behind me. I pull my shards back together and look back to make sure he’s in one piece.
Supercharge smashes into me, redlining his rocket boots.
Supercharge>>Obsidian: It’s going to blow!
Roxi is a devastatingly beautiful angel of death as she clears a path with blazing guns, barreling toward us. Skysprinters pop, and parts careen outward in a wave of destruction as she cuts through the enemy on an intercept course with us.
Creator Roxi>>Local: Get on, now! We’re out of time!
Supercharge and I smash into and latch onto her ship. Roxi banks us back toward Aegis, launching her ship faster until we’re barely hanging on as we shoot through the enemy ships.
“Hellfire and dry gears!” Supercharge shouts over the coms as he strains to cling to her ship.
“You good, Brother?” I ask.
He nods but doesn’t verbally or telekinetically respond.
From the tail of her ship, Roxi releases a string of blue anti-weapon mines. As missiles tag them, they disperse the bursts.
Aegis, Toriszi, and all the others are gone. There isn’t anyone else left to portal us out.
Supercharge grins.
Supercharge>>Fracture: I like your mate. She has so many tricks up her sleeves.
Black ink swirls between Supercharge and me. It coats us in clouds until all I can see is the aileron I’m hanging onto and my arms. Then the smoke slips away.
The Solcrue are gone, and Aegis shines in the light of a new star system.
Creator Roxi>>Local: How are you boys doing back there? Do I still have both of you?
I click back and hear Supercharge do the same.
Creator Roxi>>Local: Dropping ramp. Please come inside.
Creator Roxi>>Local: Deep space scans show Tarskus pulling back. They are not trying to track our position. The mission appears to have been effective.
I crawl over her ship after Supercharge. Roxi looks back at us as we enter. She closes the ramp, studies me for a moment, and sighs. “Oh, good. You’re in one piece this time.”
Fracture>>Supercharge: Please trade out with Roxi.
Supercharge slides into the copilot’s seat while I free Roxi’s belts from her body.
“Fracture, what are you doing?”
I pick her up. “Not waiting any longer.”
Supercharge smirks and chuckles. “Just shut the door, please.”
I carry Roxi to the small bedroom in the back and close the door behind us.
“Fracture, we don’t really have a lot of time.”
Laying her back on the bed, I unzip her suit down to the crotch, and shimmy her pants and panties down just far enough I can stick my tongue inside of her. She squirms and moans.
“Do we have time now?” I ask.
Roxi gives me a playfully mad look. “That’s not fair.”
“Missed you while I was out there. Plus, you can’t say come inside without me thinking about that.”
“Is that all it takes?” She pushes herself up in the bed, unbuckles my pants and frees my hard cock. Drawing me to her by a fistful of my pants, she licks my shaft then suckles my tip before taking me into her mouth. Lust surges through me.
Roxi looks up at me like she knows I’m wrapped around her cybernetic finger. “Get inside me, you metal muscle machine.”
I crawl over her as she lies back, grab my cock, and guide my tip into her scorching opening. Roxi arches and shimmies down over me, just enough that I know she wants me as much as I want her.
“Your ultromotor is running high RPMs,” she giggles.
“Because you’re the most stunning female I’ve ever seen and the most beautiful creature inside. And I still can’t believe you want me.”
She digs her heels into my ass and draws me deeper. But it’s so tight that I struggle to penetrate her. “Shit.”
Roxi breathes through the pain I can see that she’s in. “Ooh, you are more than I expected.”
I ease out and feel her pussy coat me in the most luscious lubrication. I push inside again, deeper this time. With every thrust, I get closer to her searing center. Roxi bucks over me, and I hit the bottom.
“Ooh, fuck…” Roxi tenses around my shaft. “Fracture…”
As I pump faster, sensing her climax is coming, my synthskin darkens. I thrust harder, with more desperation to feel her, fill her, and be one with her.
“Yes… Obsidian…” Roxi’s nails dig into my back, drawing me in with force.
I penetrate her hard, bind our bodies together, and pump my synthseed into her.
Roxi’s eyes widen and then roll back as she bucks onto me. Her nipples tighten to pink buds, and goosebumps crawl over her soft flesh. She clenches around me with strength. I am adrift in the ecstasy of her body, the way she holds me together.
She is finally, truly mine.
When Roxi’s body relaxes, she melts into my arms. With her, I feel almost human. Her body is sweaty from our bonding, and her hair clings to her forehead and face. So I pick her up and carry her into her shower.
Turning on the hot water, I wash her hair with one hand, keeping her against me with the other. I do not want our first true bonding to end so soon. When she hangs her arms from my neck, and her plush breasts rest against my chest, I feel the urges rise in me again.
I stiffen inside of her. The sheer strength Roxi contains, and the glorious natural nectar of her body sends lust roaring through me.
I brace us against the wall and drive into her again.
“Yes, please…” Roxi braces herself on my shoulders and tenses around me.
Her silken skin gliding over mine in the spray of the shower is an addicting sensation. My sack tightens, and I fill her again until I am spent, and she is breathless against my chest.
“Sorry.” I withdraw myself and gently set her feet down. Roxi leans into me and wraps me up in her arms. “Don’t be. I love you, whichever you want to be with me: Obsidian or Fracture. I love you both.”
After I have bathed my sleepy female, a feisty Creator, Commander of Titan Security, someone I would have never dared fall for had I known from day one what she was, I dry her off and carry her to bed.
Fracture>>Supercharge: Status?
Supercharge>>Fracture: ETA to Desolation, two days. Docking with Aegis now. I will remove myself and lock the ship.
Fracture>>Supercharge: Thank you, Brother.
Crawling into bed with Roxi as Supercharge lands and locks us into Aegis’ hangar is a wonderful feeling. Rogue Fleet is safe and finally recovering lost Brothers and technology we desperately need.
I slip an arm around Roxi’s side and draw her against my body. She nestles into me, and I feel my broken pieces stitching back together, realigning themselves inside.
She is so gorgeous as she sleeps that I lie awake and stare at her for as long as I can. I don’t ever want to forget this, the best feeling I’ve ever known. So I memorize every texture, the sound of her breathing, and the way her fingers sweep lazily over my arms.
I love you too, Roxi.
