Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

"Eddie! Stop lying around! We had work to do; this is no time to be napping!" I called over as the three Wargon surrounded him.

"I am playing dead. Shut the fuck up, or I will shove my fist up your ass!" Eddie snapped back, and the Wargon all pounced on him. "This is not what a good time looks like."

​ As much as it was funny to watch them use Eddie as a chew toy, I had more floors to explore.

My body was all over the room now, and it was like being in a glass cube in a pool of mercury. Roots burst from every direction to grab the creature, but even predicting up to five separations wasn't enough. They broke down to impossibly small one-inch tall copies, but that was the limit.

"What the hell is wrong with these things?! I thought we were the kings of impossibility?" Eddie growled as he got back up, and the creature started to pull back together.

"Just start creating boxes and make ultra-fine mesh to catch them in," I said, and Eddie groaned. "Once we have enough of her collected, you can burn the rest."

"Oh? I can torch the bitch? Why didn't you start with that! Come here, puppy! You better get in my box, or I am going to burn you with FIRE!"

It took us an hour of cursing and then an inferno of glass melting proportion to finally get the room cleaned up. The creature was not only crafted but extremely resilient. Nothing like the male counterparts.

This was the third species that relied on females that I had come across. It made me wonder how many more there were?

"Alright, what is now? What monster is going to try and molest me next?" Eddie asked as I unsealed the room. I had made sure to give the room a really good scan before I did, but we had got all of the Female Wargon captured or destroyed.

"You are going to seal this floor up and help Mr. Tree for a bit. I want everyone cleared off this floor and safely escorted to the top side. Try not to be a dick to the humans," I said, and Eddie made a disgusted face.

"You want me to deal with lower life forms? Disgusting. There are only so many lines I will cross, Silver Sparkle!" Eddie growled but then laughed. "I am just fucking with you. Hell to the yes, I will go help some people instead of being your ammo! Hell, I might even be nice! Get really wild!" Eddie laughed, shaking his hands in the air as we walked back out to the main area.

"You are back and alive again, and you brought the ugly one with you!" Fllna called as we entered.

"I know; he is pretty hard to look at!" Eddie laughed.

"I was talking to you, ugly robot man! You probably don't even have the right parts!" Fllna shot back.

"Listen here bitch, I just said I was going to be nice, and you are testing me!" Eddie snapped.

"Fllna, leave Eddie alone. He is a part of me, even if it is the worst one."

"Daniel, you can just shut the fuck up any time now. Don't you have a floor to explore? Go fucking get eaten by a monster or something," Eddie growled.

"Please try to be a bit more understanding with the humans. They have had a hard time down here, and you are to be a help," I said, getting more serious, and I looked at Fllna. "You as well. You are alive because of us, not me."

"Yeah, I got it, boss. This one just got under my skin," Eddie sighed.

"Eddie, everything gets under your skin. Just relax. Also, be nice to Growl, the alien dog with them. I am serious. You don't want to insult it," I said, and Eddie nodded, following me to the door.

"Yeah, I got it, don't make fun of the alien dog. Go ruin some monster's day and leave me to this," Eddie said, and I grinned as I walked back out into the stairwell.

I turned back and watched as Eddie closed up the doors with solid metal. I was surprised that nothing had tried to get out here, but there was nothing as I scanned the stairwell.

Once I was down to the bottom floor, I was about to start prying the door open, but I stopped as I felt something intense wash over me. It was coming from directly in front of me, almost like there was something on the other side of the door.

I took an involuntary step back and took a deep breath in. Whatever was on the other side of the door was nothing like what had been on the floors above. Whatever was inside of here could almost be considered evil from the terrifying presence it was giving off.

Turning, I melted the stairs and sealed off this level, even though I had sealed it above. Once I was done, I turned back to the doors. They were heavy-duty, and they didn't have to be open to know that they were extremely thick.

I walked up to the door and placed my hand on it, and my silver spread over the door. It took a moment to completely liquefy the door, but when it was ready, I walked through.

Instantly, I was hit with a feeling of wrongness and the stench of blood and death. A quick scan of the floor told me that there was one person locked in a small room on the far end of the floor and something else in the center. Whatever it was, my scan couldn't read it properly, but there were black pulsing veins covering the hall.

I created a light, but I shut it off. There were so many black veins that the light would just cast too many shadows. I could see perfectly fine in the dark with my eyes.

"What are you?" an old human-sounding voice called from up ahead.
