Subject: Teep chapter 66

Giving the last youngster a hug Aaron watched him board the carrier before
it was ported out; leaning against the wall for a moment he watched some of
the thousands of youngsters walking around having fun before spotting Colin
walking his way. Once he knew without a shadow of a doubt that Colin was
seeking him out, Aaron smiled, "Hello Colin, were you looking for me?"

Stopping so he could lean against the wall and watch the youngsters walking
around town, Colin finally asked, "I have examined and talked to hundreds of
those we rescued, before and then after whatever you did to them, they are
not the same people, not really, how did you do it?"

"I didn't, not really.well you remember about the whole reset through time
travel right," Aaron glanced over at Colin and saw him nod, "those previous
versions found a way to really reset someone's mind, and then reprogram it.
To tell you the truth I had hoped never to use that function or that I would
have to do what I did, I left half a million kids without parents, how
morally right is what I did to them."

Looking back at the youngsters, Aaron motioned Colin to walk with him, once
they were a good distance away, he started talking again, "I suppose I could
go into the Core and find out how the process worked, or even why they felt
it necessary to come up with it in the first place. But to tell you the
truth I don't want to remind myself of what I did. We killed a lot of
people, granted, they were religious fanatics that would have liked nothing
more than killing all of us, slowly and as painfully as possible, but it was
my order that sent them to their deaths, not only that, my order is what
caused the modification and memory replacement of half a million kids."

"I don't think anyone would condemn you for what you did Aaron," Colin
sighed, "war kills people, at least you made sure that only those actually
guilty or planning to kill and enslave others were the ones that suffered. I
ended up talking to a lot of the troops that were involved, and I found that
they were more upset that they weren't more upset, I think it has to do with
the fact they were able to examine the prisoners thoughts and feelings."

"You did save so many others, and if you watch and listen to the histories
you will realize that far fewer people died, even by your order, than the
first time around, hell we are talking thousands versus billions Aaron,"
Colin had no real answers for Aaron.

"What I find interesting and wanted to ask about is how the system
reprogrammed the kids, they know who they were and some of the family
information, but it has been changed seamlessly, even to the point that they
know they are gay. Every single one of them believes they were saved by
their parents who were undercover operatives, tasked with infiltrating the
zealots, they think their parents died saving them or that they were not
with their parents but other family when their parents were killed and they
escaped to us for safety." Colin stopped as they entered one of the large
parks, "I just wished I knew how it was done, so I could use it with brain
damaged patients, being able to program someone to the level the system did
would be a powerful tool in healing their minds."

Aaron leaned against one of the large flower stalks, it was as hard as a
tree trunk and easily supported his weight, "I don't know what to tell you,
Colin, I will check into it to see if there are any notes or even
information on what area of the brain the reprogramming takes hold through,
but to tell you the truth it might be a week or so, I'm still trying to deal
with what I did." Waving his hand around, "Oh I know I did not really kill
them, and they are still alive and will be healthy, happy and be able to
chase their dreams in a way they never would have had before, but I did in a
sense kill off who they were and made them into something else." sliding
down the stalk so he was leaning against it while sitting on the ground
Aaron looked up at Colin, "If I had to do it over I would not hesitate to do
the same exact thing, I would in a heartbeat, even go so far as to do it
again if I was ever confronted with the same situation, and I would again
have to take several days to get over it and reconcile it in my mind."

"And that is why you are a good leader Aaron," Colin dropped down to his
heels so he could look into Aaron's haunted eyes, "it makes all of us know
we can trust you, because even doing this bothers you, and you would do it
again if you had to, knowing that it would still bother you."

"Not all of us lost everything you know," a voice came from behind the
flower trunk.

Aaron looked up to see a teen wearing a limiter walk around the corner, "I
guess you not having programmed the thing or going through it, you didn't
know this. But when I first fell asleep an image appeared in my mind and we
were given a choice, well those of us that were not filled with hate, I
expect."

Sitting down so he could look at the two of them, Andrey smiled, "An image
appeared and I was given a choice, it told me I was being converted, that I
would be gay and no longer human. It gave me the choice on how it would
alter my memories or whether it would leave them alone. And it truly
searched my mind for the answer to make sure I was truthful. More of us than
you realize have all our memories with only a few things altered so we could
fit in easier with our new lives, my parents were not the nicest of people,
and I knew that, still do."

Leaning forward Andrey grinned, "You see, there was an underground within
the shadows, we, that is the children of the Army of God," Andrey thought
for a moment, "I would guess roughly two thirds of us went along because we
had to, but secretly, we planned for the day when we were older and had our
own network and we could stop the madness."

"I bet, you on purpose chose to look at the most hard core children, so you
could find out the differences after they came out," Andrey laughed when
Colin got a sheepish look on his face and nodded, "Well, for me at least,
the only thing that was changed in my mind was being able to deal with and
embrace being gay." looking over at Aaron and grinning, "That and I think
the eagerness I hid over learning new things and my secret love of Science
Fiction and Fantasy was increased, but I get to live what I only secretly
dreamed of."

Aaron noticed how happy the teen was and brushed his mind and was welcomed
in, glancing around Aaron found that there was a difference between his mind
and those that were hard core as Andrey put it. "Thank you for allowing me
in Andrey." he smiled at the grinning teen, "You're right there is very
little that was changed, as a Prime, I can.I guess the best way to describe
it would be, taste a difference in your mind. You'll eventually get this in
your orientation class, but when you try to describe certain things taste
seems to be the sense that is closest."

"Andrey?" Colin looked at Aaron in disgust, "Leave it to you to be able to
pick up the name on every person you've never met with a glance." Glancing
back at the teen, "What now Andrey?"

"Do you know how liberating it is to be able to walk around naked? If I was
found outside my room without a shirt on I would have gotten beat half to
death," glancing at Colin he answered, "Now? Well I suppose I meet up with
my brother, he's twelve, and he jumped at the chance to go over to Middle
Earth and take a look around. The Shaolin, early on  in their sweeps of the
Army of God families, found out about the shadow network so they contacted
everyone involved, our older brother will be released from resequencing
tomorrow, after that, I guess we'll sit down as a family for the first time
in so long and look at all the options and choices before us."

"Personally, I am going to vote for staying here where we are safe; Robert
will probably want to see if he can continue studying to be a doctor and
Jarred will want us to move to Middle Earth.  I think he will spend the next
few years hunting hobbits," Andrey laughed as he stood up, looking back down
at Aaron, he smiled, "Let me be the first of many of us that you rescued
your Majesty, to thank you for giving us another life, even if it means
being changed slightly, as much as I liked kissing girls in my old life, I
can't wait to find a guy to kiss, or for the day we can bring a son into the
world," waving, Andrey walked off leaving them behind.

Standing and brushing the dirt off his bare butt Colin grinned, "He's right
in several things though, I did only examine the hard core cases, and you
did a good thing."

Getting to his feet, Aaron saw the carrier appear on the other side of the
trees; they had walked around the park and were back to the beginning.
Brushing the sand off his butt, Aaron smiled as the youngsters saw him and
screamed out his name as they rushed over to get an extra hug. Laughing and
enjoying the chatter, Aaron noticed several new faces that that were looking
at him shyly.  The others were pushing them closer for a hug. His mind
finally let go of the unease he felt over the whole forced alteration as he
picked up on how truly happy most of them were, happier than they remembered
being and they were still the same person, just with a slight difference.

Porting back to the compound, Aaron smiled as he saw Darren along with
several apprentices carrying his belongings into the guest house, walking
into the main living area, Aaron quickly saw Mark and the others filling
their plates; grabbing his plate after filling it up, he stopped by the
table, "Hey Mark, how are the new AG bots working out, and the four times a
day milking schedule?"

"The cows are happier," Mark laughed, "The system is working out well, and
we went to a six, twelve, six, twelve schedule and it seems to be working
well."

Taking a bite of his bacon as he moved off, "Glad it's working out then; do
you have any more ideas for improvements in the farms?"

"I'm working on a few; once I get the idea worked out on the one I'm working
on, I'll go to Pete or Xon for help designing it," Mark smiled as he went
back to playing footsie with Brian and Tommy, with Fred egging them on.

Setting his plate down next to Xon, Aaron sat down, "I've been thinking.  I
think we could use one more of those RS series ships, and while we are on
the subject, Pete, how soon before the first of your newly designed scouts
are ready?"

Putting his fork down on the table, Pete looked at Aaron, "You don't ask
questions like these unless you want things sped up; what's going on?"

"I want to investigate each of our systems quickly, and then I want to build
stations so each of the sixty five worlds empty in our Empire has a station
manned at all times, sooner or later, we are going to get visitors if we
continue to expand like we are, and I want each of those systems locked down
tight as ours."

Picking up Aaron's plate while he was talking, Kevin returned it piled high
with hash browns topped with biscuits and sausage gravy; he was surprised
and pleased when Aaron pulled him close into a deep lingering kiss as a
thank you, moving off slightly dazed, pointer leading the way Aaron grinned
at him.

Making noises of delight, Aaron dug into his food and glanced up at the
clock, "Hell with it, I can be slightly late this morning." Playfully
glaring at his lovers' laughs, Aaron kept eating. Finished, Aaron took a
drink and looked around. His lovers had stayed behind, waiting for him, "Ah
I remember now, you probably want to know about our candidates being
released," chuckling at the glare and Pete's, "Like you really forgot
something important like this."

"True, but I was hungry this morning. Okay, Damien whispered to me last
night that the new clan compound is done, so the Beastmaster's have a home,
and training facility on Middle Earth." Grinning, Aaron sat up, "Which means
our plan to give Ru a proper christening will go into effect tonight after
dinner, We need to get Donny along with the other three and separate them
this afternoon, then after we bring them here for supper we'll take them to
their new compound and show them around; afterwards, those five will be
married off in the ceremony all of you horny, horny people came up with."

Placing his empty glass down, Aaron grinned, "Which means that I will
release the candidates right after lunch, hand jobs all around are in order,
I'll tackle Ru, and then Damien If you would, I need you to keep him
occupied elsewhere until supper time." Seeing all the grins and smiles,
Aaron looked around, "Does anyone have anything else to add? I should be
bringing Edward back with me at lunch time for the weekend."

"Ok then I'll be off as soon as I wash up my dishes, kiss's start on my way
out, line forms on the right," Aaron laughed as Kenny jumped up and ran over
to the kitchen door.

Strolling through the station, Aaron stopped in the situation room and
glanced at the map briefly, Hawaii, New York, and California were in purple
along with the states he had seized after invading the US, staring for a few
moments with a grim expression on his face, he finally walked out into the
hallway towards his office. Once he got halfway down the hall, he saw
several people stand up at the end of the hall, the visitors lounge, and let
out a soft groan of frustration. Reaching out with his mind, he found it was
Edward and his father, which might not be too bad other than the fact Edward
was supposed to be in class, and his mind brushed up against about a dozen
people in the lounge, now that, he decided, was bad.

"James.Edward, I'm almost afraid to ask what brought you here," Aaron told
them as he met them at the door to his office, "Or who is down there in the
visitors lounge waiting and if they are waiting to see me."

Chuckling, James sat down in front of Aaron's desk, "Yes, well don't blame
us; we were here first."

Chuckling, Edward smiled at Aaron, "Relax, only two of them are waiting for
you, the others are here visiting with their kids, they were brought up from
Altair Minor Trauma, relatives of the staff there."

Sitting down with relief evident on his face, Aaron glanced at the chip that
was slid across his desk, picking it up he glanced at Edward out of the
corner of his eye as he inserted it into the slot on his desk. Opening the
file up, he noticed it was a list of names, along with nationality and job
description, "I see you were elected delivery boy," he smiled as he dumped
the contents of the chip into the system before popping it out and handing
it back. Throwing the file of healers and their staff on the plasma he
looked at it for several moments, not as many as he thought, and mostly
younger doctors that had not established themselves yet, "Okay, at least in
the beginning this should work, if all else fails and something drastic
would happen, there are the healers on the station.So Edward," Aaron looked
over at the teen who would be King someday, "What brings you up here today?"

"The vote," Edward grinned; as he mentally undressed Aaron with his eyes,
now that he was having sex on a regular basis, he found on those days he
missed out, he was horny and easily distracted until he got shagged silly.

Aaron heard Edward's thoughts, he was broadcasting it seemed. Mind reaching
out he found Xon on the Sol shipyard programming the construction of the
fourth RS series ship, he smiled as he asked him to come to his office, he
informed him that Edward was having a concentration problem and needed
shagged so he could be able to function.

"James, I take it Edward is trying unsuccessfully to say the vote is at
ninety percent, so how favorable is it?" Aaron asked, as Xon strode through
the bathroom door after donning a pair of shorts.

"Edward, I could use you help for a moment, would you come with me, "Xon
smiled as he entered Aaron's office kissing him hard and fast.

Curious, James watched his son walk out through the side door before turning
back to Aaron to answer his question, "It was running at sixty percent; that
was until Sunday when the world listened in on your conversation with
Edward, it was at eighty one percent when we went to bed last night. That
reporter that started everything has been on talk shows constantly since
then, and while she has not been as demanding, she has kept this at the
forefront of people's minds."

James looked towards the closed door that Edward had gone through, hoping he
stayed out of the room long enough that he would not hear the next part,
"The Church of England has sanctioned any marriage between you and Edward,
the problem comes in with Rome and the Catholic Church, they are condemning
Andrew and Richard. They sent a warning to mother, if Edward did go through
with this, he would be condemned to hell."

"Just what I need, another religious conflict, I assumed they would have
learned their lesson with what I did to the U.S. because of their religious
fanatics," Aaron stared at the terminal for a moment before emailing Otto to
have one of his spook squads check out The Vatican. "To get back to the
conversation of Edward and the news media, when would you like to make the
announcement, or should I ask how you wish to make the announcement."

"Would you agree to announce it in an interview with the reporter that
started all this, maybe somewhere neutral." James trailed off at Aaron's
grin.

"Oh, I have the perfect place to the do something like that," Aaron pointed
to the couches between his desk and the wall, "Right there with my back to
the window, they can ask their questions with the Earth as the backdrop."

Glancing at the door that opened, James watched Edward walk back in, more
relaxed and in control than when he left, eyes narrowing he wondered what
happened as Edward sat down.

"I think Edward should be able to concentrate now Aaron," Xon sent as he
folded the shorts he had donned for the few minutes he needed them to
retrieve Edward, "He should now be able to hold off until tonight," Xon sent
him images of Edward shagging and being shagged. Smirking at the thank you
he received back from Aaron, he ported back to the shipyard, he had a few
experiments to run.

"While you were gone Edward, your father and I were talking about both of us
sitting down for an interview with Hilde, the reporter that started all the
hoopla around you marrying into the Clan, possibly several others, I was
thinking of doing it from my office here with the view behind us as the
backdrop, what do you think about it?" Aaron asked him as he sat back in his
chair watching Edward frown.

"I hate reporters," Edward mumbled, as he looked over at Aaron with a frown
and a 'do I have to?' pout on his face. "I suppose, when would we do this?"

"Sunday morning," Aaron smiled at Edward's pout, "Don't worry, we'll be
doing the interview right here in my office, a place I have total control of
and we'll use our pickups to transmit the interview back to Earth so we will
have total control."

"James, did your mother ever get the politicians straightened out?" Aaron
faced Edward's father after winking at Edward, he looked resigned before
blushing at the mental caress Aaron sent him.

"Yes, though from what the staff told me, it was not the calmest
conversation," James grinned, "I'm just sorry I missed it, mother has had a
lot of frustration building over the past few days with all the ruddy
politicians sneaking in, trying to get answers or promises. I was going to
ask if we could spend the weekend at Altair Minor, getting away will do
wonders for mother's temper."

"Anytime James, your family is welcome to use that bungalow anytime you
want," Aaron sat up after thinking of who would be available to port them
over, "What time do you want to take off, we can port you over right from
the palace."

"Really, that would be grand, we can leave right before supper then, we can
pop over to the atrium for supper before we relax," James stood and placed a
hand on his son's shoulder and squeezed, "Edward, have fun, I'll see you
Sunday for the interview," giving a wave, James walked out of the room,
leaving Edward sitting in his chair looking thoughtful.

"Let me get the other two that are waiting out of the way first Edward, then
we'll talk about what is on your mind," Aaron glanced over at Edward now
that they were alone, brushing up against his mind he picked up that he
wanted to talk about Toshi.

Activating the pickups in the lounge area, Aaron saw several people and to
his surprise, Toshi was one of them, spotting Bill and another person
talking and looking at the hall every now and then, he activated the pickup
on his side, "Bill, if you and your guest want to come to my office now,"
Smiling as they stood and started down the hall, "Toshi, if you don't mind
waiting, I think I'll be about an hour, of course you can go to the park
level and walk around or wait there, as soon as I'm finished with Bill,
you're next."

"Do you want me to leave, I can go into the conference room," Edward made to
get up as Aaron waved him back down.

"No.sit, this will be a good learning opportunity for you, you'll just have
to make your tutor session up sometime tomorrow," Aaron smiled as Bill and
Steve, from Davies and Associates, walked into his office. "Have a seat
gentlemen, and tell me what brings you up here this morning."

"Good morning, your Majesty," Bill smiled as he pulled one of the chairs
back out of the way so he could stand in front of Aaron's desk, glancing
Edward's way, he gave him a polite nod of recognition, "We don't plan to
take up much of your time." Setting one of the Isolinear chips on Aaron's
desk he moved back, "I could have emailed the immigration information to
you, but I wanted to take a trip into space," Bill was grinning as he looked
behind Aaron and the Earth below.

Picking the chip up, Aaron glanced Steve's way as he slotted it into the
desk, "Good Morning Steve, did Roger need something or are you just here to
escort Bill up?"

"A little of both actually," Steve smiled as he laid his own chips down on
Aaron's desk, pointing to the one on the left, "This one has all the request
for appeals, the things that would have made it to the U.S. supreme court,
Roger summarized each case for you; this one," he smiled as he tapped the
middle chip, "is a request from all those convicted of crimes that are
requesting telepathic scans to prove their innocence." Tapping the third
chip, "Finally, this one is an updated list of your holdings."

Aaron stared at the chips with distaste, "All of you have been busy I see,"
after a few moments he finally looked up at Steve, "How many cases are being
referred to the Kings Bench?"

"Fifteen," Steve pointed to the chip, "Everything is on those chips,
including original trial transcripts, evidence and in several cases the
trial video."

Going back to staring at the chips, Aaron sighed, "I'll review it and
schedule a time, just for future reference, I only hold trials in front of
the Kings Bench on Friday mornings, unless it is an emergency." Sliding the
chip over, Aaron slotted it into the desk before grabbing the second one,
"I'll see about getting some telepaths on this group next week, they do know
if they are found guilty of the crime, they will be punished under our laws,
right?" he asked as he looked up and saw Steve nod his head. "Alright, we'll
get to them as quickly as we can."

Picking up the third chip, Aaron thought about Tyler and received an image
in his mind of him sitting in his office back at the compound grinning as he
looked over something on the plasma, "Before I forget," Aaron looked back at
Steve, "I need to introduce all of you to Tyler, he will be the Clan contact
from now on that will deal with finances and such," leaning forward and
grinning, "He likes playing with numbers."

Steve chuckled, "I'll let everyone in the office know, Friedrich has been
pretty good about keeping us informed about who is who in the Clan and we
will start forwarding this to him then."

Nodding while still grinning, Aaron looked over at Bill, "Okay, Bill, I hope
you have a copy of this list, I would like all the medical people that want
to immigrate brought up to the station Sunday morning around nine, they will
get an orientation tour and then start to learn how to operate our equipment
by being teamed up with some of our healers."

"I'll get right on that," Bill smiled as he moved back, "If you don't mind,
I would like to come back up with the medical people on Sunday, bring the
wife and kids so they can see that," he pointed out the window.

"Not a problem," Aaron nodded, as he merged the data from Bill's chip with
the other applicants, nodding at their wave he thought of something before
they were out of his office, "I almost forgot, there is a box of Isolinear
chips next to the door, take what you need to replace the ones you dropped
off."

Once they were gone Edward moved over to the couch, "Do you want me to go in
the next room while you talk to Toshi?"

Glancing up at the plasma which had the picture of the lounge on it Aaron
frowned, "Do you have any idea why Toshi is here this morning?"

"Not a Clue," Edward shook his head, "I've not talked to him in," thinking
about it for a moment, "It's been since Sunday."

Kinetically angling the couch Edward was sitting on so only the back could
be seen from his side of the room Aaron nodded, "Why don't you lie down on
the couch, duck your head, that way you can hear what is going on, if he
needs privacy or wants to talk to you I'll port you to the other room and
you can come back in or stay depending."

Edward grinned before lying down on his side and pressing his body into the
back of the couch so he was hidden from view.

Activating the pickup, Aaron smiled, "Toshi, if you want to come back now,"
he saw the wide grin plaster itself on the face that moments before was
staring out of the window in thought.

"Hello Toshi, what brings you up here this morning," Aaron asked as he slid
home the second chip that Steve dropped off and created a notice to place on
the system, so that anyone wanting a little extra cash or something to do
could sign up to scan those wanting a telepath to confirm their innocence.

Glancing around, Toshi saw Aaron was working and pulled one of the chairs
closer to his desk before sitting down, "I wished to talk to you about
earning the right to be considered for you clan."

Looking around the room again, Toshi finally asked, "Did Edward go already?
I was wondering if he would be available to talk over lunch."

"He's in the next room, do you want me to bring him in or do you want this
talk to be private," Aaron reached out with his mind preparing to port
Edward to the couch in the next room.

Toshi was thoughtful for a moment before telling Aaron, "I do not mind if he
is included, he might be able to give me insight, after I explain what I
wish."

"I can do that then," Aaron picked up that Toshi had a serious crush on
Edward, well besides the crush he had on himself. Porting Edward to the
couch in the conference room he acted as if he was contacting Edward by the
system, then he mentally warned him, "Edward he is seriously still crushing
on you, and now he has added me to the mix."

Edward walked out of the bathroom and Greeted Aaron with a smile before
sitting down on the couch across from the one he had been lying on before
being so rudely ported above the one in the next room, "Hello Toshi, Aaron
mentioned you were here and wanted to talk to me."

Beaming in delight at seeing Edward again, Toshi flashed back to seeing him
hard the other day and when Aaron had accidently slipped inside him, glad he
was wearing confining clothing Toshi carefully got up and walked over to
Edward, so he could give him a hug in greeting like he watched Aaron give
out so frequently.

Removing the three chips from the slots on his desk, Aaron got up and moved
over to where Toshi was snuggled at the opposite end of the couch near
Edward and took the couch opposite of them, "What do you want to know about
earning the right to join my Clan Toshi?"

Sighing as the grin left his face, Toshi stared out of the window, "I had an
argument with my father; so many things were said and came up during the
yelling." Toshi thought back to last night when he made his demands, "Father
has run every aspect of my life for as long as I can remember, lately it has
gotten worse and when I informed him I thought I should be given Ton's
place, we fought." Looking at Aaron as if he was trying to understand
something, "Father informed me that Ton refused to even consider it, that I
would not be given the place Ton had been offered and that Ton had told my
father that he would fight me over it, that made me angry and I took my
anger out on several pieces of furniture."

Looking ashamed, Toshi glanced up before looking back at Aaron, "It did make
me think and realize how Ton had always been considered second best, he had
few friends as they only wished to use him to get to be my friend before not
bothering with him anymore. Growing up we were more like brothers than
cousins, the past couple of years though, we had not been as close and I did
try in the beginning to recapture the closeness."

Toshi sighed, "Sometime in the past few weeks, as we interacted and I wished
to be where Ton was, I forgot that closeness and became jealous. Luckily I
did not interact with Ton as this happened, as he was here with all of you.
If I had I most likely would have lost him and any hope of us reconnecting,
being as close as we once were." Leaning back into the cushions, "Father was
right, and I realized something, the older I got the more ordered and
controlled my life became, not because I thought my father did not love me,
but because he wanted me to finally stand on my own and rebel against that
ordered life, he wanted me to be strong and stand up for myself, not take
everything in stride like I had."

Toshi let out a pained laugh, "All this time, all I had to do was stand up
to my father before he would grin and welcome me as a man, able to make my
own decisions. This morning he told me he was proud of me and mentioned it
was about time I stood up for what I believed in, he even gave me his
blessing to try to join with you. Under the condition that a son would be
sired first to be the heir of the Japanese throne. He left it up to me for
the way it would happen, the normal old fashioned way or using your
technology, as long as a son was ensured, I could then try for your clan."

"It almost sounds like your father wants your son to be born with someone
not Alteran before you are allowed to chase after us to see if you would fit
in," Edward finally entered the conversation, he had listened to everything
Toshi had said and wondered if it was a cultural thing, if his father had
gone as far as Toshi's did he would not be happy about it, let alone
forgiving.

Looking back out the window in thought, Toshi considered what Edward just
said, "The wording does make one think that, this brings to light another
problem then, I would not be able to come to the trials as untouched."

Toshi sounded slightly upset Aaron thought, "You do know that I never placed
a requirement for those being considered to be virgins, or as you put it
untouched." Lost in thought Aaron filled the silence with, "Of course with
our technology, you can have a son easily, but if your father is asking for
you to have a son with someone that is not one of my people, then you will
also have the other father to consider or would you be thinking of having a
female donate an egg?" staring at Toshi, he skimmed Toshi's surface
thoughts, trying to figure out what he was thinking, "Before I say yes or no
on you trying to see if you can try to win our hearts, I think you need to
sit down and have a frank and open discussion with your father. I am not
familiar on what is needed for your line of succession, and to tell the
truth, if you would have a son the old fashioned way like you mentioned you
would never be considered for the Clan, you would be having a female carry
your child which means a commitment in our minds."

"I am unclear on what you mean," Toshi said slowly, as he replayed Aaron's
words again in his mind trying to figure out what he meant.

"Simple," Aaron leaned forward and stared at Toshi, "If you wish to have a
child with a female, it must be by our technology, our incubator will carry
the child. If you have a female carry that child after being impregnated,
even if it is by in-vitro you have made a commitment to her and that child.
As such, you will be denied any hope of joining any clan in my empire. If
you chose another male to be the other father of your child, we will assist
you." Seeing Toshi sit back in shock, Aaron toned down his voice somewhat,
"It is simple, your seed may not touch a female or the embryo may not be
implanted in a female, to do so means you will not be allowed to try to see
if you would be a fit in our world. To us, that would mean you are making a
commitment to a female and together you would raise the child."

"I.I understand," Toshi frowned as he looked back out the window, "you have
given me much to think on," he left off the 'once again'.

Smiling, Edward got to his feet, "Come on Toshi, let's take a walk in the
park and grab some lunch, maybe I can help you think of a way to ask your
questions."

Aaron watched Edward lead Toshi out of his office and sighed, going back to
his desk he thought he could at least look over the summaries that Roger had
sent on the cases for the Kings bench.



An hour later Aaron sat back after reading the last brief and made a few
notes, catching Edward walk in with Andrew, he smiled when he saw it was
almost time to go back home, and have some fun, "Get Toshi sorted for now?"

"For the moment, at least I think I have convinced him your restrictions
were only in regards to making an heir, not that he could not have sex with
a female before he decides to try for a place in the Clan, once he does try
though, there would be no sex outside of who we approve of," Edward sat
down, pulling Andrew into his lap so he could fondle him after unsnapping
Andrew's fly.

Aaron grinned as Edward pushed his brother's shorts down far enough that he
could have plenty of room to stroke the rapidly hardening stiff toy, "You
know Edward, you're playing with fire. Being unaltered like you are you just
don't have the stamina the rest of us do, and if you get both of us all
aroused.well, you might sleep through the afternoon and let's not even talk
about this evening's festivities."

Edward grinned and before he could reply, Andrew leaned back and grabbed
Edward's head and kissed him as he thrust in and out of Edward's hand.

"Too late," Aaron chuckled as he kinetically closed and locked his door
before standing and dropping his own shorts as he pulled his shirt off.

Bodies mashed together as Aaron tried his best to remove any lingering taste
of Edward from Andrew's mouth, hands roaming he decided he was good for one
more before taking the edge off and slipped back inside the half conscious
Edward while Andrew climbed up so he could sit on the back of the couch,
thrusting in and out of Edward, Aaron swallowed Andrew's hard cock causing
him to groan in pleasure.

Andrew smiled as he looked down at Aaron swallowing around his stiff willie
as he thrust in and out of his brother, truth be told this was one of the
hottest things he had ever witnessed and every time he had sex with his
brother and Aaron it did things and drove him to higher levels. Groaning out
as he was close Andrew stiffened as he fired off another load and in the
back of his mind he had to wonder why the fourth time was just as intense
and massive as the first, must be some Alteran thing he thought as he went
over the edge as he remembered before he was altered at this point he would
have just dribbled out what little bit was left.

Swallowing the offering eagerly, Aaron smiled as he heard the panting groans
from Edward and let himself go over the edge as Edward's hard cock twitched,
pulsing, firing off nothing as he was truly spent. Slowing down as he
deposited his seed deep inside his lover Aaron eventually stopped as he
leaned up and kissed Andrew, staying inside Edward who was breathing hard
and pretty much out of it. "Well this should hold me over until later," he
giggled in between kissing Andrew.

"Damn.You know I feel sorry in a way for Edward, though he did last a little
longer this time, he came what five or six times?" Andrew giggled.

"The question is, do we count the sixth time since it was dry," Aaron
chuckled as he was finally expelled and glanced down to see Edwards hole was
still a little lose, brushing against it kinetically Aaron tightened the
sphincter thus sealing their seed inside. "It's almost time to be home for
Lunch and then releasing the prospectives; might as well port out from
here," Aaron grinned as he wiggled his eyebrows before laughing, "I'll port
us to the common area, we can leave Edward sleeping on the couch there while
we eat."

Slipping off the back of the couch Andrew went and collected all of their
clothes before touching the gestalt, "I'll see you there in a minute or so,"
giving one last look at his exhausted brother he grinned before porting out.

Reaching for the gestalt with his mind Aaron let his mind search for the
couches in the gathering pit, pulled power form the gestalt and ported them
in one massive port. Chuckling as Edward rolled over and curled up into the
cushions, Aaron went around to the steps and walked into the dining area.
Peeking over a the steam table area he saw Shoji, along with Riku, happily
placing the pans in the steam table.  Waiting until both of them came out of
the kitchen, Aaron captured them both and drew them into a hug, "Smells
wonderful you two, I take it Shoji has been showing you how to find your way
around the kitchen."

Nodding rapidly as he melted into Aaron's embrace, Riku looked over at shoji
and got the courage to ask, "May one ask for your help in something?"

Pulling both of them over to the side out of the way of the steam tables, so
if his lovers started to show up, they would not be disturbed, Aaron smiled
at them, "Of course you can, and hopefully I can help you out."

Turning red from embarrassment, Riku was glad Aaron could not see how
nervous he was, "Shoji and I wish to go that last step in sharing with each
other and would ask that you help us, so we do not hurt each other in our
haste to join."

Aaron glanced over at Shoji and saw him smiling shyly, Shoji was
broadcasting, they both considered him helping as formalizing their marriage
to each other, thinking about it, he wondered if there were others of Asian
descent that wanted a ritualistic aspect instead of just registering in the
system that they were now a couple. "Do you wish to have witnesses to your
joining?"

"Witnesses?" Riku asked before realizing that they would get their wish,
Aaron would be marrying them to each other, grinning, he eagerly nodded, "Oh
yes, I have three people who I would like to witness my joining with Shoji
and his joining with me."

"I only have my brother," Shoji looked at the vines with flowers blooming on
the ground, saddened to know he only had one person to witness for him.

Reaching over, Aaron gently lifted Shoji's chin so he could look into his
eyes, "You have the whole of the Clan that would witness your joining
Shoji," smiling at his shock and shy smile, Aaron thought about it, "Right
after lunch we are releasing those in the med bay, so why don't you ask
those who you want to be there to come over in two hours." Placing a kiss in
each of their foreheads, Aaron grinned, as he whispered, "Make sure both of
you are cleaned inside and out, in fact right after lunch I will ask two of
the Clan to prepare both of you so make sure you make your calls
beforehand." Hugging each, one more time, Aaron released them just as Andrew
and the rest of the guys started to walk in.

Picking up his plate, Aaron filled it with several selections and was
slightly surprised at seeing fried chicken and took one of the bigger
pieces; he wondered what Shoji did different with it. Sitting down, he
watched as Shoji went around to several of the clan members after talking to
his brother before stopping near Doug and Kenny. Smiling at the intense
stare Kenny started to give him, he brushed his mind against Kenny's, "Yes
love?"

"Um.Shoji wants Doug and me to prep him and Riku for their joining.What's a
joining and what do we need to do?" Kenny was confused and was listening to
Shoji's excited chatter.

"A joining is what we are doing for the new clan tonight, the Beastmasters,
Shoji and Riku asked for my help by overseeing their joining," Aaron smiled
as he watched Kenny quickly tell Shoji yes before bringing Doug into the
link so he could finish, "What you and Doug need to do is start off with
both of them in the hot spring, let them relax and unwind, but not close
enough to touch each other, than after say twenty minutes or so, take them
back to your showers and clean them out really well, like we all do, then
wash them real good, making sure they stand there. You may gently tease them
with your hands but don't let them cum, finally we will meet you at the
clearing behind the hot springs, I'll have it set up by then."

Kenny thought about it as he stared at Doug, then he finally asked, "How
horny do you want them?"

Grinning evilly, Aaron sneaked a peak at the two in question, "As horny as
you can get them without letting them cum." Seeing their evil grins, Aaron
chuckled as he went over to get seconds, sitting back down Aaron kissed
Kevin before working out a new recipe in his head that the chicken sparked
an idea for.

"So, I hear Shoji and Riku are going to join this afternoon," Kevin smiled
as he looked over at the two, I'm glad he found someone. Are you going to do
something similar to what we are going to do for Ru tonight?"

"I think so," Aaron smiled as he pulled out his P.A.D.D. to make a few notes
before his idea got lost, "I expect that the joining will spread like
wildfire through the Shaolin and the rest, Riku is going to invite several
of his friends and probably one of the masters. Soon someone will pick up on
what was done and volunteer to record it and place it on the system, after
that, a new marriage ritual will be born."

Snorting, Kevin looked over at Aaron, "You know I think you will be in
demand once word gets out," smiling as he finished his drink, "honestly, I
can't think of a better thing to be in demand over though."

Gathering his dishes, Aaron grinned, "Neither can I, and to tell the truth I
can't wait."



Walking into the med bay with Damien and the two pups at his side, Aaron
looked around and noticed Fred setting the limiters on each cart, Tim and
Pete were talking near the door of the incubatory and as he walked over, he
noticed Andrew and Tyler gazing at their son, smiling as Darren walked past;
on his way out, he walked back into the med bay and started the release
cycle on Ru, before moving to Rolph. Meeting Fred in the middle next to Igor
he chuckled and kissed Fred before moving back over to Ru, "Hand jobs all
around, Fred, do you have the training packet ready or do you need me to
implant the instructions on their new gifts?"

Removing the breathing tube from Ton, Fred smiled, "I got in a lot of
practice helping release those we force converted, so I'm good," he told
Aaron as Tim moved up after he was finished.

Glancing around, Aaron grinned as each of the seven had someone ready to
wake one of the prospects up, turning off the soma unit, Aaron whispered as
he laid his hand on Ru's chest and teased Ru's nipple which caused him to
explode, "Ru, time to wake up." Smiling down at the teen, Aaron pulled Ru
into a sitting position when he opened his eyes and smiled up at him.

Standing on his own, Ru faced the other candidates, realizing right away
that all of them were within reaching distance and stroking their hardness
while leaning back into one of the Clan as their hands roamed around driving
their passions higher. Hearing the moans and grunts of passion from around
him, Ru had his hand captured when it went towards Rolph's body and climaxed
once more.

Last to leave, Aaron smiled at all the puddles on the floor and set the
controls to clean the med bay, meeting up with everyone outside the med bay
Aaron grinned as Damien was steering Ru towards the opposite corner, where
the entrance to the cliff face was, there was a small terrace where one
could stare out over the city in the distance. Looking back at the six eager
faces Aaron waved for them to follow him, "Alright let's get all of you
settled."

Making his way into the main section where the living quarters were, "Right
now you are in the Clan compound, I'll let you explore it later on, but this
section contains the dining hall and kitchen along with our relaxation area,
or gathering pit. Feel free to explore any of the bedrooms that have not
been claimed and to chose one for yourself. All of them are slightly
different," pointing to the dining area as they entered, Aaron took them
behind the kitchen area, "This is the common area or the gathering pit, we
hang out and relax here, but we can also get group work done here."

Sitting on one of the benches, Aaron stopped and thought, "Let's try to make
some sense of this, this is our inner rooms," pointing to the rows of arches
leading to rooms, "The bedrooms all around us have a small private office in
them along with a library and the standard closet, bathroom and bedroom. At
the other end of the compound, on each side of the security offices and
quarters, are the public offices each of you will be assigned one."

Spotting Kenny and Doug leading Shoji and Riku to their bedrooms Aaron
smiled, "I have a small joining to perform, so while I'm doing that, why
don't all of you find a bedroom to claim as yours for now, all of your
belongings are on the second floor common area over there," Aaron pointed up
to the large landing with couches, "You can unpack and settle in, if you
need help in unpacking or finding things or using the replicator to create
furnishings let one of the Clan that will be around know and they will be
glad to give you a hand."

Giving them a moment to start looking around, Aaron kissed Mark and Brian
and thanked them for staying here to be on hand for the prospectives while
he was busy, "I'll be recording the ceremony, feel free to watch it on the
plasma, I'll be back shortly." Stopping and looking back at the two, Aaron
pointed to the couch where Edward was still asleep, "You might want to see
if you can't wake him up and get some food into him, I swear one of these
days I'm going to meet the person who came up with the saying about youth
having staying power and laugh in their face," grinning at their chuckles
Aaron left them to wake Edward.

Making his way to the clearing behind the waterfall, Aaron looked around
smiling, it was perfect he thought, very much keeping with imperial gardens.
Checking that the cushion was secured he ported a full bottle of lube from
the storeroom and placed it on the small pedestal near the foot of the
cushion bed. Preparations finished, Aaron smiled at the Shaolin apprentices
along with their Shaolin teacher as Ichiro led them into the clearing behind
Xon and Tommy. Activating the recorders around the clearing, Aaron smiled as
he heard Kenny and Doug bringing the two guests of honor into the clearing.

Smiling happily as he noticed how aroused both teens were, and smelling
faintly of salt and the oil Kenny and Doug had rubbed into their bodies, a
nice touch he thought. Moving over so he could stand in front of them Aaron
held a hand above their faces and reached with his mind for theirs; checking
the strength of their minds before porting a braided wire band to his hand,
a band that had a small red diamond in the center. Placing it on Shoji's
head with the diamond centered he smiled in satisfaction as the diamond
glowed before porting over the second one and fixing it on Riku's head.
Leaning forward Aaron kissed each of them, both were leaking and extremely
aroused.

"I am Aaron Stranton; who comes before me wishing to be joined, mind, body
and soul?" Looking over at Kenny, Aaron nodded for him to begin.

Kenny led Shoji to the end of the bed and placed him on the side opposite of
where Aaron had moved to, "I present Shoji Lee, he comes before you to be
joined to Riku Tan of his own free will." Kissing him, Kenny moved to the
foot of the bed and waited as Shoji was glassy eyed with lust.

Ichiro looked at Xon who nodded with a smile and stepped forward and kissed
his brother on the lips, "I am Ichiro Lee, elder brother to Shoji, I witness
this joining for the Family."

Placing a hand on Ichiro, Xon smiled in pride causing Ichiro to beam as he
stepped to the foot of the bed on Shoji's side after kissing Shoji, "I am
Xon Stranton, I witness this joining, I stand for the clans."

Tommy noticed the diamond glowing brighter and he moved to the head of the
bed after kissing Shoji, "I am Tommy Stranton, I witness this joining, I
stand for Shoji's friends."

Moving around behind Shoji as the three took three steps back, Aaron smiled
and nodded at Doug who led Riku to where he was a standing a moment ago, "I
Present Riku Tan, he comes before you to be joined with Shoji Lee of his own
free will." Kissing Riku, Doug smiled at him and moved to the head of the
bed and grinned.

Aaron gazed at the Shaolin and thought he would have to prompt him before he
stepped forward and kissed Riku, "I am Lei Wan, I Witness this joining, I
witness this joining for clan Shaolin, his true family."

Nodding, Aaron looked at the apprentices and smiled as one walked to the
foot of the bed, stopping to kiss Riku soundly, "I am Steve Wu, I witness
this joining, I stand for the apprentices and friends."

The final person walked over and kissed Riku and noticed both gems glowing
brightly, "I am Yong Zan, I witness this joining," getting a prompt as he
looked at the Prime he smiled, "I stand for the children to be born in
love."

Moving around to Riku's side as the three stepped back like Shoji's
witnesses did, Aaron held out his hand taking the lube from Kenny,
kinetically lifting the two, he placed them on the bed, "Kneel and face your
future bonded." Once both were kneeling, faces bare centimeters from each
other, Aaron felt for their minds and told them, "In love.link your minds as
you kiss with your entire being, your souls shall touch and merge." The
sound of wind rushing through the trees was heard as Shoji and Riku kissed,
activating the gestalt link Aaron drew some of the power and started to feed
it to the two lovers and their gems brightened as if searchlights had
suddenly been turned on; above them energy swirled about the two and slowly
as if slapping each other, playfully danced about.

Finally as the kiss dissolved into passion and heat of physical lust, the
energy slapped against each other a moment longer before merging to swirl
around both teens as one bright red energy mass. Reaching behind Riku, Aaron
started to lube and loosen the tight hole as he prepared him to be entered
for the first time by his newly bonded.  Once Riku was ready, Aaron reached
over and lubed Shoji up and reading from his mind the way he wished to enter
Riku for the first time, Aaron pulled Riku down so he was on his back and
kept his hand on Shoji's hard erection, keeping it from rubbing on Riku's
flesh, and as they were lost in the kiss, he positioned Shoji and slowly let
the hard tip of the hard cock slip past the inner ring before holding both
teens from letting their need move too fast.

"Your minds are joined as one," Aaron told them as he moved back after Shoji
was all the way inside his lover. "Your souls are joined," Aaron smiled as
the energy pulsed in time to their heartbeats, "Now let your bodies join."

Shoji barely registered the words being spoken as he kissed his lover, as he
kissed Riku and felt a hot rush caress his skin, he and Riku's minds merged
deeply with each other and as he kissed Riku, he felt his lips kissing
himself, as he felt his hard taught stiffness enter his lover he felt it
enter him, all thought was gone as the feeling coursed through both their
bodies, as he started to thrust in and out, slowly at first before picking
up speed, not stopping as he reached climax and fired his load deep inside
Riku, his climax only caused him to pick up speed.

Aaron smiled as he felt Shoji and Riku create the bond as Shoji fired the
first of many loads he would before it was all over. Taking the bottle of
lube back that he had given Doug, Aaron poured some on his fingers and
slipped one inside Shoji as the young man groaned out his passion as he came
once again. Having to wait until Shoji was finished Aaron continued to work
the spasming hole, stretching in preparation for his lover to finally enter
him, completing the bond. Prepared, Aaron touched his mind to the merged
mind to find out how Riku wanted Shoji and got back a picture of Shoji
riding up and down.

Ignoring the tingling from the energy on his arms Aaron slowly pulled Shoji
out of Riku and moved him up before bending up Riku's hard cock and guiding
Shoji down on it, once he had sat down fully with Riku inside him, Aaron
smiled, "Mind, Body and Soul.We witness your joining." Reaching out with
both hands Aaron grabbed at the energy and kinetically forced it inside the
two teens causing Riku to scream out as he climaxed inside Shoji, while
Shoji fired his seed all over Riku's chest.

Ritual finished for the most part, Aaron let the two do as they wanted and
grinned as Riku maneuvered Shoji so he was on his back and really started to
pick up the pace. Letting his fingers trail through Shoji's cum as it ran
down Riku's chest, Aaron fed it to Riku and Shoji, "A true joining of mind,"
Aaron placed some of the cum on both their foreheads, "of body," he placed
some of the cum over both their hearts. Before scooping up the last of the
cum he could find and placed it on their lips, "And joining of souls."

Reaching out with his mind, Aaron ported the two to Shoji's bed so they
could finish in the privacy of their own room; they looked like they would
be several hours yet. Grinning as he looked around at the smiling faces of
his lovers, he peaked down and saw how hard they all were, "Shoji Lee and
Riku Tan are now joined."

Getting a nudge from Xon, Ichiro stepped forward, and looked over at the
Shaolin who stood for Riku's family and his voice challenged him, "So
witnessed."

Grinning at the challenge Lei repeated the words, "So witnessed."

Holding the bottle of lube Aaron gave it one last look before making sure
the lid was closed and ported it to the two lovers, so they could have
something to keep things going before going over to the small fountain and
washing his hands as he tried to control the urges he was feeling, it would
not be nice to throw one of his Lovers on the bed and ravish them in front
of guests. "I expect the two of them will be at it most of the day," Aaron
laughed as he walked out of the clearing, grinning at the two teens that had
accompanied the Shaolin he noticed the problem they were having, "If the two
of you want to borrow the clearing to take care of those be my guest, or one
of the spare bedrooms in the visitors lodge, you look uncomfortable like
that."

Steve stopped and looked over at his friend who was having more control
issues than he was, "Go ahead use the clearing I can make it to the lodge."

Lei watched in amusement as his two students separated before bowing, "I
thank you for your hospitality.and the use of your lodge."

Grinning, Aaron pulled Tommy close as he steered his lovers to the clearing
on the other side by the waterfall and pulled Xon and Tommy into a kiss,
letting his passion arouse his lovers, glancing at Xon he smiled as he
pulled him over to kiss him. "Go to your knees Ichiro, we are going to take
turns filling you."

Doug rushing back from the towel cupboard with a bottle of lube knelt down
next to Ichiro and started to lube him up, as Aaron got behind Ichiro while
Kissing Doug in thanks. As Aaron slid inside the submissive teen Doug moved
around front and shoved his hard willie between Ichiro's lips and started to
thrust in and out.



Rolph sat on the couch staring in awe at the plasma, what he had just
witnessed was incredible, swallowing hard, he looked over at Mark and Brian
who were smiling, ignoring the raging erection between his legs for the
moment he asked, "Is this what is in store for us if we are chosen?"

Grinning, Brian looked around at the prospectives who had their eyes glued
to the plasma, "No, the Clan has something different, more intense and
special."

Walking along the ledge between the backs of the couches in the gathering
pit and the plantings, Pat started dropping towels in the laps of each of
the six prospectives, "You might want to take care of those before they
become a problem." Giggling, he walked down the steps and over to Brian
before kissing him, as he released Brian's lips he pushed on his head,
offering his stiff willie for Brian's enjoyment and his release. Ignoring
the sounds of flesh stroking flesh from behind him, Pat closed his eyes and
got lost in the wonderful wet warmth that was surrounding his hard willie.

Half an hour later, Aaron and the rest of the Clan gathered around the
couches and he noticed all the bunched up towels near the prospectives and
grinned, "I see you guys thought that was as hot as we did." Glancing at Tim
who was smirking he wondered what he had planned now, "Before I let you all
go with Tim to view a presentation on our race's secrets, I want to mention
a few things."

"Up from our nap I see, welcome back to the land of the living, Love," Aaron
had spotted Edward walk over, freshly showered and felt like teasing him.

"Bloody Satyr's," kissing Aaron, Edward plopped down on the couch next to
him, "The least you could have done was to get all sweaty."

Laughing, Aaron kissed Edward as he pulled him into a hug, "Yes, well do you
think you will be up for another round or six tonight?" seeing Edward's
horrified expression, Aaron broke down into laughter.

"Tonight after supper, the Clan will be gone for a couple of hours, and
unfortunately we will be leaving you here, with Ichiro and Edward as your
only company," Aaron paused as he smiled at the six, "but I think it might
be a good time for you to settle in and decorate your rooms, making them
yours. I'll have Pete show you how to use the replicator to create items to
make your room more comfortable," sensing the confusion over what a
replicator was, he smiled, "A replicator is what we use to create items, it
builds everything from the clothes we wear outside the kingdom to the ships
we travel through space with, including the couches all of you are sitting
on, once you see it work and have it explained to you, it will make sense."

"Over the next week, all of us will work with you so you can master your
gifts, the bracelets all of you are wearing are what we call limiters, it
limits your ability to teleport, for your safety until you learn how. Right
now they are set to stop all teleportation but as you begin to learn how to
port we will change them, finally after you reach a certain level of
competence they will be removed." Grinning at the smiling faces, Aaron
wondered how many would turn red, "now let's work on removing your
embarrassment factor over talking about sex, does anyone here not know what
a hand job is?"

Chuckling softly at all the blushes, Aaron decided he was going to enjoy
this, "No, good, right now things are about to get interesting for all of
you. As you live and work with us side by side, one of the restrictions of
no sex with the Clan is going to be relaxed. Kissing and hand jobs are now
allowed between all of you and the Clan, you may sleep alone or share your
beds at night with any of us or amongst yourselves," holding up his hand as
he lost his smile, "Remember though, even amongst yourselves, hand jobs and
kissing is as far as you can go, which means no sucking on each other or
placing that wonderful toy from between your legs inside each other. I don't
think it will take long before you get in the same routine we do, not if you
start showering with us in the morning and sleeping with us."

"I know the next couple of weeks will be a struggle for all of you as you
see us sharing our bodies, or having great sex with each other," Aaron
silently counted red faces and two that he thought would have been
embarrassed were grinning instead, he would have to keep an eye on Rolph and
Ton. "It can be just as hot for you to join in, sticking with only getting
off by our hands as we make love to each other. Some of you will start to
stand out right away and we will accept you directly into the Clan. Which
means to rest of you have a better chance to gain one of those free spots,
any questions you want to ask before Tim takes you over for the class on our
secrets? Remember that I will be around all weekend and after I get back, my
room is the one right there," Aaron pointed to the largest arch across from
the gathering area, "Feel free to stop in and talk or even ask any questions
as they come up."

Standing, Aaron started to hug and kiss his lovers and included the
prospectives which shocked several of them and pleased several others,
grinning as Tim motioned for the prospectives to follow him, he ported out,
looking to talk with Donny.

Finally finding Donny sitting gazing up at the sky on one of the small
islands off in the middle of the southern bay, Aaron stood on the island
behind Donny and watched him for a moment, Donny seemed to be staring up
into the sky at the sight of Middle Earth as both the sun and Prime's sister
planet started to set.

"Hello Donny," Aaron smiled as he called out so as not to startle him before
porting over to the small island, sitting down next to Donny and scratching
Dante between his ears when he jumped up to sniff him. Pulling Donny into a
hug, Aaron looked up at the view, "It's amazing to be able to sit here and
see a clone of Earth so clearly and watch it in the distance like this."
Glancing Donny's way he saw the smile on his face, "Are you excited about
tonight?"

Hugging Aaron back Donny kissed him on the cheek, "Frightened out of my
mind, at the same time, excited beyond belief," chuckling, "nervous and if I
was not wearing my leather right now you would see how horny I am."

Laughing with an arm around Donny's shoulders, "You're not the only one,
poor Ru is a nervous wreck, one of the reasons I wanted all of you occupied
with something to do was so you would not think over what is going to
happen. I thought of keeping it a secret of what we built for you, but now I
think it will take your mind off of things," Aaron ported all three of them
to the new Beastmaster clan compound.

Blinking as the scene suddenly changed Donny looked around and saw they were
in a small park under what looked like a greenhouse, all around them outside
the walls were thick pines."Where are we," he whispered in shock as Dante
jumped off racing around sniffing the bushes.

"Middle Earth and your new clan compound, back on Earth this would be the
northern edge of Alabama abutting next to Georgia," Aaron stood and pulled
Donny to his feet, "This side is the canine side of the compound, you have
an indoor park, which we are in, a place your dogs can run about and visit a
bush or two. Over that way is the main section of the compound with all the
apartments, med bay and offices and such. I think Derrick modeled the main
compound of the beast master clan house after ours." Leading Donny into the
compound, Aaron looked around grinning at seeing the large hot spring in the
center of the compound, "Seems Derrick took to heart your comment about our
hot spring, and he built you one of your own."

Walking to the end of the compound, Aaron looked through the glass wall into
the huge glass greenhouse, a three story tall greenhouse for the birds,
"Your, or should I say Ru's Aerie. And at the other end is the stables for
the horses, there is plenty of fenced pastures out there and we'll import
some rabbits that all of you can raise to use as hunting aides for your
birds. There is another section just like this one for those that bond with
cats on the other side of what would be the guest lodging in my Clan's
compound." Aaron grinned as he led the awe struck teen into the house, "Come
on let's check out your apartment and bedroom."

"When did you do all this?" Donny was floored, all this just for them; he
looked up at Aaron and knew what it was to be loved for something other than
sex.

"I think Derrick started it right after Ru started to be resequenced, we
want you to succeed, if you are going to be a clan, you need to have a clan
compound and Middle Earth is the best spot for it because of your animals,
here they will thrive." Aaron led the way into the main building and pointed
to the elaborate crest over the far arch, "The clans crest, it leads into
the clan leader's apartment, there are twelve bedrooms in there, the biggest
is yours, it is modeled on my old one, and it has its own library off of
it."

Grinning, Aaron pointed to the large hall leading off to the right, "The
clan kitchen and dining room," steering Donny into and to the back of the
dining room, he led him through another hall into a large complex, "And here
is quarters for your apprentices."

Shaking his head Donny looked around, "This is too much."

Aaron pulled Donny into a hug, "This is not too much Donny, and this is just
the start. Once you get off the ground and really running, you will need all
of this and more, it's going to take you days of exploring to find
everything that is in this compound, but eventually you will know where
everything is, until then link your P.A.D.D. to the system here and you will
always have a map," Aaron chuckled. "Come on, time to look in your bedroom
and get you out of that leather, I think a long hot soak in the hot spring
will be just the thing we need to do before supper time."



Aaron looked around at the nervous teens, Donny and Ru had been led in by
Damien and Kevin, both were naked and aroused, so far so good he thought, as
the other three members of the new clan, Matt, Running Bear and Corey were
being led in by Mark, Tommy and Brian. Glancing around Aaron stepped
forward, "Tonight we witness the birth of a new clan, a clan that is created
in service to our kingdom and Clan Stranton. Sometime in the next six
months, after the clan has a chance to settle down, two sons by blood to
Clan Stranton will be conceived, thus cementing clan Beastmaster into the
clan halls."

Glancing at each of the teens, Aaron smiled as he sensed they were aroused
yet not lost in sex lust yet, "Donny Scram will be invested as clan leader
tonight, and it is my honor to ignite the fires of passion in him and to
assist as he makes love to each and every one of his new clan. Of the four
of you that come here tonight to be part of the birth of this new clan, only
one comes to you untouched in the ways of love, as such, Ru Kang will be the
first that Donny enters and plants his seed into as he merges mind body and
soul with his lover."

Ru started to interrupt but Damien leaned over and whispered in his ear,
"What happened to you was not done in love, remember that, what will happen
here tonight is done in LOVE!"

"I thought long and hard about your emblem and your clan tattoo," Aaron
moved to stand in front of Donny as he pulled a small nanite injector out of
a pouch, he had designed the nanites to create a spectacular tattoo, "Your
choice Donny on where we place the tattoo, this cannot be counterfeited so
it will serve the dual function as emblem and tattoo, as our medallions
count as ours." Smiling as Donny looked at each of his lovers and silently
asked with his eyes.

Ru was the first to move and he tapped his temple, Donny seeing the
thoughtful looks on the rest of his lovers faces he asked, "How big or small
can this tattoo be?"

"As small as an 8 star coin or the size of a dinner plate," Aaron smiled as
he waited; this was a big decision for them.

Holding pathed conversation with the others, Donny smiled as he looked back
at Aaron, "Left temple and the size of the coin please," he grinned as Aaron
placed the device up against his temple after making an adjustment to it,
this was so cool, now everyone could see that he was Beastmaster as soon as
they saw him.

Adjusting the nanite injector and placing it against Donny's temple, Aaron
activated it and waited for the light to go green before moving over to Ru,
once he was finished he grinned at the indrawn breath s he heard from the
others as Donny's tattoo started to show up and come in looking life like,
porting over a small mirror he held it up so Donny could see it, "The tattoo
injector will be kept in the med bay here so your healers can place your
emblem on your new clan members, until you have your own healers either Fred
or I will do this for you."

Kissing Donny, who was crying silently as he gazed at the symbol on his
forehead, Aaron put the mirror next to the injector and nodded to his
lovers, the sounds of five caps being opened off of lube bottles was loud in
the quiet, "Each of you have been chosen by one of the Clan, they shall
prepare and guide you tonight as Donny makes love to each of you with me
inside him, then after he has left his offering in each of you, you shall
leave your offerings in him."

Seeing the wide eyed stare from Donny, Aaron chuckled, "Don't worry Donny, I
shall not cum inside you, but since this clan is not an offshoot of mine
through blood, in a sense, together we will mate with each of your lovers,
and once you have gone through your lovers, I have mine to help me with my
needs. After tonight our two clans will be very close, we will be family,
for tonight and tonight only, the rules of sex outside of the Clan are
lifted. At least until it comes time for you and Ru to have a son with us,
though none of us will add our seed to yours, unless each of you have mixed
your offerings in each other first."

Grinning as all five of them nodded eagerly in between their moans of
pleasure as his lovers stretched them, Aaron kissed Andrew as he lubed up
his hard cock.

Kevin inserted the third finger as he searched for Donny's prostate and
finally found it, causing Donny to hiss out his pleasure, "OH.YES." grinning
as Donny was ready he nudged him forward enough so Aaron could capture
Donny's lips and felt the passion as Aaron kissed Donny before turning him
around and slowly sinking inside him.

Fully inside Donny, Aaron whispered in his ear, "Link up with your lovers,
all of them, pull them in one at a time," slowly thrusting in and out as
Damien finished preparing Ru who was already panting in excitement. Mind
hovering as Donny pulled each of his lovers into the merge, Aaron smiled as
he was not needed to help out and reached around and pushed the very hard
cock jutting out of Donny's body down so Damien could back Ru into it.
Guiding the speed and initial entry, Aaron slowly let Donny start to thrust
before letting go and doing his best to time his thrusts to heighten the
stimulation to Donny's body.

Damien kept his hands on Ru's head and tried to control the need he was
feeling to Cum, he needed him to wait until Donny finished Matt, then he
could pair Ru up with him, that way no seed was lost.

Mark led Matt over now that he was stretched enough, stopping close enough
to Donny that Matt could kiss him and smiled when halfway through the kiss
he heard the screaming groan Donny did as he fired his load inside Ru. As
Soon as Damien pulled Ru off of Donny Mark turned him and removed his hand
as he felt Aaron guide Donny into Matt slowly.

Kinetically tightening the sphincter muscle slightly, so Donny's seed was
not lost, Damien kissed Ru and kept the tight control he was holding over
Ru's need until Mark was guided over and he guided Ru inside his lover so he
could fire his long held off load.

Aaron pulled out of Donny as Corey took his place, glancing around he zeroed
in on Tyler in his need and moved over as Tyler bent over to show his lubed
and ready hole so Aaron could slip inside, eager to finally reach release.
Feeling Tyler's ass clamp down hard on his shaft, as Tyler filled Richard's
eager mouth Aaron stiffened as he pushed the seed firing out of his hard
cock deep inside Tyler. Sharing and trying to suck Tyler's offering out of
Richards mouth Aaron smiled as he felt Kevin slip a finger inside him as he
turned Richard around and slid inside his tight hole, becoming the filling
of the sandwich.

Coming up for air an hour and a half later, Donny stroked Ru to hardness as
he watched Aaron enter yet another one of his lovers and groaned in pleasure
as he felt a tongue lapping at his hole trying to remove the mix of his
lovers, looking over his shoulder he saw Running Bear on his knees behind
him. A lot of kissing and heavy petting had gone on between his lovers and
the Clan, but the only one who had entered one of them was Aaron when he had
entered him.

Andrew chuckled as he looked at Aaron, "Wait until I tell Edward you finally
broke a sweat, of course, when he finds out it was only after you came for
the eleventh time after being inside someone else while he came four times
before you allowed yourself to cum will only drive him mad."

Chuckling Aaron held onto Fred now that he had cum, standing still so he
could wilt and slip out, leaning over Fred's shoulder to kiss him, Aaron
grinned at the newly initiated clan, "You guys are more than welcome to come
back with us for the night, staying in one of the spare bedrooms, or if you
spend the night here in your new home, I would like you to stop by for
breakfast, your kitchens are empty, we'll spend the weekend helping you set
up and move in."

Still linked with his four lovers, Donny smiled at Aaron, "I think we'll
stay here tonight, we can have some fun, but we'll take you up on your offer
for breakfast and the help to move us in."

Nodding, Aaron looked around and contacted his lovers, "All right then, see
you bright and early for breakfast, have fun, oh the standard energy drinks
and energy bars are fully stocked in the apartment kitchen, if you need
something and don't want to go out." Giving one last wave, Aaron still
inside Fred, ported the two of them back to their Clan compound near the
edge of the hot spring, careful to stay inside Fred, he walked the two of
them into the warm water and leaned back against the waterfall as Fred
purred in contentment.

Editors musings;

more about the Beastmasters.  Donny is so adorable.  As always, I really
enjoyed the new and interesting things we found out.  We will just have to
wait for the next chapter to find out what happens next, I guess, Luckily, I
