"Now be quiet, my dear, they are coming down the hall," Droid explained to the lovely Asian girl as he put the sheet over her face. Turning from the table, he quickly took a seat at a computer, as the redheaded Melania stood impassively by the row of tubes.
"Yes master," the clone said as he pulled the sheet over her head. When the pair had woken up not too long ago, the first thing Droid did was give her the name 'Drusilla'. Oh she would still answer to 'Rei' and 'Ultra Woman' if others used them but her master had given her a much more lovely name. They had quickly bathed in his small shower, struggling to keep their hands off each other, before he dressed her in her uniform. Droid had even been nice enough to fix her bracelets so that she could now take them off. He even put some devices in there so that he could keep track of her location and give her orders. She knew that was so sweet of him.
Into the room, without a knock, stomped the SPAY commander. "Boyd!" he roared, as the sycophantic Lieutenant and two soldiers followed, "that last clone died before we could even run a single test!" As the scientist turned his chair to face the mottle-red faced commander, the man was already grabbing the collar of Droid's lab coat and hauling him to his feet.
"Stand up when I talk to you," the commander spat. "Your clones are getting worse and worse."
"Yeah," the Lieutenant nodded, "The one we tested the cyanide gas on was half dead even before we killed her off."
The commander glared at the doctor. "You better explain yourself well, or my men are going to take you out to be shot."
It took all of Drusilla's will not to spring up and defend her master from these nasty people. How dare they insult and threaten him?! He had given her orders though and she laid there quietly, waiting. "I promise you'll pay for those words..." she thought.
Droid, usually a bit flustered by the commander's dire threats, was instead calm. This almost seemed to disconcert the arrogant SPAY leader. "Do let go of my coat," Droid said with preternatural calm. "I had it freshly starched."
The commander frowned, the rage fading as he took in Droid's placid reaction. "Yeah, real cool Boyd. You won't feel quiet this way when my men gun you down," he said, thrusting the lean scientist to the two soldiers.
Droid shook off their attempts to grab his arms. "I warned you, sir, that my name is Droid. I'm afraid that's the last time you will be making that error."
Melania, placing one hand on the nearest table, hopped over it and landed beside one of the men. As the men turned to face the redheaded, programmed Amazon, Droid smiled darkly. "Now, my dear," he said quietly.
At last! In a single motion, Drusilla threw the sheet off herself and leaped from the table to land on the other side of the men from Melania. Before they knew what had happened, she had grabbed the two soldiers by their belts and launched them into the air. They both hit the far wall with a loud 'thud' before sliding to the floor. Dru then grabbed the SPAY commander by the throat and lifted him into the air until he dangled from her arm. "You tried to hurt my master so now I hurt you!" she growled.
With a squeal of surprise, the weasly Lieutenant fled out the door. Screaming out an alarm, he ran as fast as his boots could carry him.
"Melania, after him!" Droid barked, pointing towards the door.
The SPAY commander, his boots kicking into the air, grabbed Drusilla's wrist. Garbled, choked words came harshly from his lips.
A small smile came to her lips at hearing the man's struggle. For some reason, being this vicious towards this creature felt very right. She assumed it was because he had threatened her master. In any case, he didn't deserve to live. Dru tightened her hold on his throat so that the man's eyes began to bulge out of their sockets.
Droid snatched away the weapon in the holster at his side a second before the commander reached for it. "Now now, that just won't do! I can't have you killing my beloved little child here, now can I?!" He gave the Amazon clone an almost playful wink. "My dear, do show this ruffian what we do to those that cross us."
"Of course my master," the clone said as she grabbed the SPAY man's crotch with her other hand. There was a sickening crunch and a gurgled scream when Dru applied the same amount of strength in that hand as she had the other. When she felt she had a good enough hold on him, Dru threw the man on to the table that she had just been laying on. The force she used caused the reinforced table legs to collapse and for it to fall to the floor in a crash. Of course the SPAY commander had every bone in his body broken from it. Dru stood back and turned to look at her master with the look of a child wanting to know what she had done right.
Satisfied, Droid tossed aside the weapon in his hand and picked up another, simpler item. It looked like a simple rod of metal, about three inches thick and a foot long, with various lights and buttons on it. He swept an arm around Drusilla's waist and pulled her into a viciously passionate kiss. His eyes burned with delight. "Come, my dear. It's time to commence a killing spree," he said with an insane chuckle.
"I am to take care of the rest of these men master?" Dru asked and received a nod from Droid. "Good, because if these ones were going to hurt you then the others might as well. I shall take care of them for you." She straightened the bustier over her ample chest to Droid's pleased gaze. "Lets get going master so that we might play later on." She gave him a seductive wink as they both stepped over the spreading pool of blood.
Leaving the three dead bodies behind them in the lab, the green tubes within the lab gave the bodies an emerald cast. Floating in the nearest one, her mind far, far away, was the original Amazon. Rei's hair hovered around her face, flowing around the nutrients and tubes that kept her alive and deeply asleep. As Droid lead the clone out the door, the Asian Amazon in the tube squirmed, reflecting her duplicate's arousal...
A small, ashen-faced man snuck into the lab. As the screams of dying men and blasts of Droid's weapon echoed through the underground/underwater SPAY headquarters, the SPAY Lieutenant headed quickly to one of the green-filled glass tubes. He sat down at a monitor and keyboard at the foot of the container. With furtive, frightened glances back at the door to distract him, he went to work.
Slowly the level of the green nutrients fell as the Lieutenant scurried behind the tube as a SPAY soldier ran past the doorway in the hall outside. He heard the feminine grunt of effort which was followed by a metal chair leg hurling past. The Lieutenant winced at the sound of the leg crunching into and through the soldier's back, followed by a dull thump pronouncing death.
His hands shivered. The pale-faced, blonde young man, so arrogant whilst his commander lived, was a deflated, frightened little man now. He had hidden in a utility closet as Droid and his pet clone had entered the SPAY barracks area. Droid using his odd energy projection weapon and the Ultra Woman clone using her Amazon skills and bracelets, the two had started to systematically slaughter every SPAY man they could find.
That other cyborgized Amazon of Droid's assisted the other two in their destruction but not to the degree that her sister was capable of. She was strong, but not as capable in responding to the men as the other. It had warmed the man's heart to see that the troopers were able to inflict injuries upon her. Before being torn to shreds that is.
Only two choices were left to the Lieutenant. One was flight, and there was no guarantee he could get past the pair without ending up dead himself. The other choice was a distraction.
The nutrients weren't quite completely drained, but he couldn't wait any longer. He slinked back to the keyboard and typed in the final commands. The tube descended into the base of the containment system. As it disappeared, the last foot of green nutrient slime poured over the computer and onto the floor, making the Lieutenant scurry back until he almost stumbled over the broken body of his former leader.
Rei hung there, suspended from the cables and hose as she dripped the green goo from her lovely body. Suddenly she started a loud, hacking cough that brought up even more of the substance as she cleared her lungs of it. The drowning-like sensations she felt quickly aroused her from the deep sleep she had been in for so long. The violet eyes opened, but they didn't see anything yet.
The cables moved along a track hidden in the darkness of the ceiling. Motors whirred quietly, barely audible even as the death and butchery down the hallway in the barracks was lessening. Drops of sweat rolled down the lieutenant's forehead while he impatiently, knowing that soon enough Droid and his protégé would return to the lab after killing all the SPAY men they could.
As she was moved from the area the tube occupied, the cool air of the cool helped to slowly focus her befuddled mind. "W...what..." Rei tried to say but the words were replaced by more coughing until the last the goo was emptied from her lungs. She took several deep breaths before feeling the pressure of the cables relax from her body.
With a wet plop and splatter of green nutrients coating her body, Rei's naked body was released from the cables a foot from the floor. Two months within the statis tube had left her stiff and dazed.
"What...what in Hades is...going on..." she moaned as she tried to get up on her hands to a sitting position. It took several tries, with her hands slipping on the goo, before she was able to. Her muscles protesting every bit of the way. Rei tried to bring her hand up to her forehead but missed. She tried to remember what had happened but it all seemed so vague.... Some sort of monster attacked her Rei thought she remembered but after that it was all dreams. Weird, frightening dreams of sex and death. She needed time to get her thoughts in order. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!" the heroine suddenly screeched when she was almost knocked over from a COLD force.
Suddenly a blast of cold water struck the confused Amazon. The lieutenant didn't have to time to let her recover slowly; he certainly didn't care about what any Amazon felt regardless. Cleansing most of the slime off Rei, he turned off the water and tossed aside the hose.
At that moment, the figure of Droid stepped into the doorway. Water from the hosing rolled around his feet. He saw the Lieutenant and smiled malevolently as the end of the strange rod in his hand glowed from use.
The 'bath' did do wonders in shaking her out of the daze, mostly by pissing her of to the extreme. The one thing Rei hated was cold showers which Julia knew so well. The other heroine got a stern talking to when she had turned the sink on when Rei had been taking a shower. "What in the hell are you doing!?" she growled at the man through clenched teeth. The violet eyes blazing with anger.
The Lieutenant pointed at the door as he pulled the weapon from his holster. "Get up!" he barked at the undazed Rei, "Save us, you slut!"
It only took a moment for Rei to know that there was something seriously wrong here. Being called a 'slut' wasn't a term of endearment but she saw that the man was clearly terrified. Whatever was going on could be answered later, right now it was 'bash heads now, answer questions later' time. One thing she did know was that she was without her belt so therefore, powerless. First thing was to find it and fast!
Looking wildly around, scattering drops of water in the process, Rei spied a golden glow coming from a box in the corner. A glow that she knew all too well.
The sight of the freed Amazon took Droid aback for a moment, as everyone in the room hesitated.
As Rei got to her feet slowly, Droid grinned as if a cuckoo were about to pop out of his forehead. "Look who got loose. Too bad I can't throw you back in the water, my octodroid is missing you terribly. Tell you what, I have someone else for you tonight."
"Your octodroid?" Rei asked, shuddering involuntarily at the dim memory of that. "That must make you Doctor Droid. The one villain I haven't met until now. Let me guess, you have an army of robots or whatever waiting." She slowly backed towards the box that contained her lasso and belt. "Well I'm afraid they will be sorely disappointed."
Stepping aside yet keeping his weapon at the Lieutenant, Droid gestured past the doorway. Through the open way walked in a lithe, Asian girl. Her dark, silken tresses fell across her shoulders and atop the metallic bustier. In true, Droid-fashion, the clone was wearing a metallic duplicate of the Ultra Woman costume, with a pair of interlaced letter D's over her left breast. Even a metallic cable, mocking Rei's lasso, was on the clone's hip. What was most frightening was the blood on Dru's hands, dripping to the floor.
The heroine's jaw dropped as she saw her clone for the first time. "What in the gods' names..." she breathed. It was like looking into a mirror except in this case, the mirror was slightly distorted. If you call the 'reflection' splattered with blood that wasn't her own and with a grin that said that she had nary a problem with that. All Rei could do was stare at her. "What...what did you do? Make a droid that has my likeness?"
"My dear, say hello to your sister. Ultra Woman," he said, patting Dru's shoulder, "say hello to my lovely new pet."
Suddenly, Rei had the weird feeling of being touched on her own shoulder, exactly where Droid was touching the other's. "He couldn't have..." she thought as she remembered the vague thoughts that she had dismissed as mere dreams. Rei knew of the concept that twins can share telepathic thoughts but this...this would beyond that. Before she could think about it further, she heard something more.
Droid nodded Drusilla towards Rei. "My dear, our future mother here needs to be subdued," he says with a dark chuckle.
"Future WHAT?" Rei said as her jaw dropped even further then the first time. If there was anymore surprises out there, Rei didn't want to know them. She was just about surprised out for one day.
Seeing Rei's expression, Droid grabbed Dru's shoulder. "Yes, Ultra Woman. During my tests on your body, I discovered that you are with child. You've been in my tube there for two months, woman. I suppose you haven't noticed your belly yet, have you?" he chuckled.
Even though she didn't want to, Rei looked down and saw that her normally trim stomach had a noticeable bulge in it. "Oh you've got to be kidding..." she thought. Rei knew she had already had a child and according to Amazon knowledge, an Amazon only had one child in her lifetime. Then again, her sisters only ventured out into the world that one time to find the father of their child so that 'truth' could be quite wrong. It seems that she was proving it.
Droid patted Dru's shoulder. "Now, my dear, distract our fair, pregnant, slutty Amazon for a few minutes," he told her as he moved to a computer console...
"If you want to live," Rei said in a low voice to the SPAY trooper. "You distract them somehow. Use your little toy gun on her to keep her busy." She knew she needed some cover so that she could make the last few steps to the box and her belt. Then things would be even at least.
As the clone approached the sore, stiff Rei, the Lieutenant was jarred into life. He despised the naked Amazon like a true SPAY fanatic, but he also knew that he had to work with the harlot or die. Still, he was too much of a weakling to spite her like his commander might have. He pulled out the weapon from his holster and aimed it right at the master villain working at the computer console.
"Good boy," she thought as she watched for a reaction from her 'sister'. "Maybe after this is over I won't turn you over to the authorities. Nah... You're still a jerk no matter what." It was so weird seeing that other version of her Rei knew. As she got closer, Rei could see even better how exact the other was to her. Right down to that little mole in her cleavage.
Drusilla was already halfway towards Rei, her bloody fingers reach to snap her twin's neck like a twig. But seeing the weapon aimed at her beloved master was enough to make her leap to his defense. "NO!!"
"About time!" Rei thought as she saw the other violet eyes widen in horror.
Leaping over a table and leaving a bloody handprint on it, the lithe Asian clone landed in front of Droid just as the first bullet deflected off the titanium alloy bracelet Droid had given her. Droid jerked an arm up defensively as sparks flew a foot from his head and the bullet shattered a tube, letting a half-clone quickly die as slippery nutrients flooded onto the floor.
The moment the other was distracted, Rei scrambled to the box that was her goal. Her fingers dug through the scraps of blue fabric that she realized was her uniform. "For wrecking that thing I'll rip HIS clothes off..." she mumbled as finally found the source of the light. "Got it!!" she called out as she took hold of the belt. The strength it contained flowing through her body and taking away some of the effects of being in the tube.
Droid jumped up from his chair as a steady beeping sound began emitting from the console. Staying behind Dru as she held her bracelets up to defend her master, Droid gave Rei and the Lieutenant a mocking smile. "Since we seem to be at a stalemate; you can shoot me, and my lovely pet here could snap you both in half. Seeing that, we shall bid you adieu." Droid turned and trotted out the door, followed by Rei's cloned twin. She gave her sister a playful wink, then disappeared after her master.
The real heroine was about to start after them when she realized that she was still naked. "First things first!" In a motion she had done many times, Rei brought her wrists up until they touched together. A familiar flash of light surrounded her and when it faded she was back in her unblemished uniform, which she found was a little too tight now. "Damn..." Rei thought as she grabbed at the fabric and tried to tug it looser. "I didn't think I was that big yet!"
The Lieutenant exhaled sharply...then slowly turned the weapon on Rei. "I can see that you're not as fast as normal, cunt. I'll gun you down like a dog then get the hell out of..."
"Oh joy..." Rei sighed and prepared to defended herself. A flashing on the various computer screens in the room caught her attention. "Um...I hate to bother but when I see numbers counting down that means a bad thing is about to happen."
Slowly the odd beeping sound sank into his head. As he realized it's importance, his eyes widen and his face blanched. "Oh my god!" he gasped, "that's the base self-destruct warning!"
"Yeah that's a bad thing all right. Might I suggest we hold off on our little fight so we can get out of here?" Faster then he could comprehend, Rei grabbed his gun and bent the barrel. "I'm faster then you think."
The ferret-faced Lieutenant gaped at his bent gunbarrel then at the suddenly rejuvenated Amazon before him. "How...? Just a moment ago, you were stiff and barely moving?!"
"I got my second wind," she grinned at him. "Hmmm...I do believe I heard that computer say something that sounded like 'two minutes and counting' but I could be wrong."
He shook Rei off and rushed to the computer console Droid had been working at. "Shit!" he yelped. Without a word to Rei, his face paler than usual, he scampered out the door, leaving Rei alone in the lab.
She only stayed there for a moment though since she knew she had to get out as well. The heroine raced out the door and caught sight of the trooper as he ran for the exit. "I'll just follow him since he seems to know the way..." They both ran through the corridors and tunnels while red lights flashed with alarms going off all around. Rei noticed as she passed him through a tunnel cut through solid rock that with the added bulk in her stomach, that she had to be careful going around corners.
Finally Rei raced out into the night are from a non-descript building along the coast. Through the soles of her boots, she could feel heavy thumps as the base began to destroy itself. She finally halted when she reached a place that she recognized. A sidewalk that followed the edge of the coast and led back into the city. From there, Rei sat on a bench and watch the water pulse with each detonation.
Her belly pushed out against the red bustier, making the bottom of the golden letters bent and shining under the fluorescent lighting. All it would take is one good punch to the belly by one of her many enemies, and Rei would be badly hurt at best...at worst, this growing child in her belly would be killed.
"An Amazon is to protect the innocent," she thought. "And I can't think of anyone more innocent then this child. I can't do anything to endanger it and in order to do my duties, I would have to." Rei frowned slightly at something she just realized. "I should be examined by a doctor just to make sure everything is okay. But I certainly can't let any doctor out here do it as they would notice some odd things I bet. The only place is...back home."
Her sisters would demand she return to the island and have her child there, like every other Amazon had done. Her position as Ultra Woman would be passed on, as every Amazon mother was required to be with her child for, at least, the first twenty years of life. It was an important bond and during that time Rei would have to show her future child the ways of the Amazons.
Rei realized another thing in that moment: she wasn't totally sure just who the father was. There had been several men she had been with in the timeframe for her pregnancy. "Oh joy..." she groaned.
Regardless, her life here was over. As she looked at the belly she had somehow gained while in Droid's tube, the obvious conclusion hit her harder than any villain had ever done.
Her life as Amazon champion, her adventures in this outer world, were over. Rei could no longer be Ultra Woman.
"Oh well...I never wanted the job anyway..." she said out loud in a voice that was a lie...............
