Cleopatra 2525: Echo of a Hero By Tyval Chapter 4: " Wow! I wonder whose room this was?," Cleo said smiling. The room they were in looked like a dungeon. A big screen tv/vcr was against a wall, bookshelves filled with video tapes on both sides of it. Cleo read the titles of some of the tapes. All of them seemed to be lesbian BDSM orgies of the super-heroines of G.O.L.D. and many other heroines. The walls were lined with various whips, paddles, crops, and a few dildo's. One very large dildo had the words ' Questar model' under it. There were various ceiling chains and devices for bondage inside the room, along with a bed big enough for 6 girls with stratigicly placed restraints. Sarge and Hel stared at the 'Questar model' dildo. " Was he really this big?," Sarge asked," This looks too big to be human," " According to the stories about him that's what his size was rumored to be," Cleo grinned," And if anyone knew his size it would've been G.O.L.D. women." " If we find him I bet he's really hung like a 2 year old," Hel sighed. Cleopatra was looking through the video tapes and came across one with the title 'Questar joins in'. Cleo thought,' Hmmmm. The power is still on in this place. I wonder if the tv and vcr still work?' " Guys, there is a way to find out," Cleo said as she turned the 500 year old tv on and popped in the tape. It was soon obvious as they saw a nude Questar that his legendary size was indeed real. " Whoa! Is he a man or a small horse," Hel sighed in lust, as she saw Questar somehow get half his length in a super turned on asian girl. " Oh man," Sarge moaned as she touched her breasts," I love women, but I'd set that aside for him." " So would I, whoever he is," Raina said from the opposite doorway. " Raina!!," Hel, Sarge and Cleo cried as one as they turned and saw the equally nude psionic 'bad girl'. The nipples and clits of all 4 women were instantly aroused as they looked at each other. " Cleo, run!! Find Questar! We'll handle Raina," Hel ordered. With a mixture of fear and sexual excitement Cleo ran out of the other door. ' I've got to find Questar now,' Cleo thought,' I don't know if Hel and Sarge combined can beat Raina.' In their last encounter Raina had actually been holding more than her own against both of them. And Sarge and Hel were 2 of the best fighters in all the Underground. Hel and Sarge tried to flank Raina, bu to their surprise Raina held up the open palm gesture of truce the Underground used universally. ' Why is she giving Cleo a chance to find Questar and defeat her,' Hel thought. " Okay Raina, you want to talk, talk," Hel said," Just answer me one thing, why are you working wth the Betrayers to kill Questar, who may be our only chance to finally overthrwow the Bailies?" " Questar? There's that name again. I have no idea who or what he is. Those robots freed me so that I could get my revenge on you and that hot little blonde," Raina said," I think that they thought that I wanted you dead. That was never my intention." " Oh really?," Sarge asked, somewhat puzzled. " Wait a minute, if your'e not trying to kill Questar, and your'e saying that your'e not trying to kill us, then what are you after?," Hel asked equally confused. " That should be obvious Helen," Raina laughed," I want to rule the Underground not destroy it, with you two at my side I'd be unbeatable. There's also the fact that I love both of you and that Cleopatra girl too." " You love us?," Sarge asked. Hel and Sarge looked at each other. Somehow they knew that Raina was telling the truth. Raina could have killed them during their first meeting or attacked them from behind a few minutes earlier. " We don't have to fight," Raina said," This room looks like a lesbian dungeon, just surrender and be my sex slaves. I know you love it, I want to whip you and fuck you and whip you some more. And when you finally submit, you can later do the same to me." " Raina, we can't submit to you," Sarge said," It's wrong to enslave people the way you want to. We must free the people of the Underground and take back what is rightfully ours, the surface world. I would love to have all kinds of kinky sex with you, but Raina, it's not right to treat people as toys." " Raina, please, look into your heart. Yes, you've done some bad things, but even Voice thinks that there is a lot of good in you," Hel peaded," You started out fighting for good, and I know in my heart that good is still in you. With your powers and skill you could be a great asset to our cause." " C'mon girls, be my sex slaves," Raina said," Your'e both so pretty, I don't want to hurt you, but I want both of you in bondage and cumming from my whip." " Please Raina, we can't submit to you like that. Your'e beautiful and I can hardly keep myself from kissing you, but our mission here is too important for all humanity," Hel continued, trying to reach Raina's heart. " Please Raina, join us. We all love lesbian sex and pain and we can have some great parties, but we need to succeed in this mission," Sarge implored," Raina, please, take my hand." Deep in Raina's soul she wanted so much to be a part of the love that Hel, Sarge, and Cleo shared. Haltingly she reached out her hand. Sarge looked at her with love and hope. Hope that was dashed when a sudden fury overtook Raina, who lashed out at Sarge with a devistating backfist. Only the battle-trained reflexes of Sarge saved her as she managed to twist her head away from most of the force. Instead of a blow that would have knocked her unconcious Sarge took only a glancing blow. Sarge sprang away from Raina more surprised than actualy hurt. Hel moved quickly to her side. " Fine! I'll just rape you cunts into submission then," Raina screamed. " I'm okay Hel," Sarge said," We've got to stop her or hold her here until Cleo can complete the mission." ......................................................... Outside of the hallway that led to Cyro Chamber G.O.L.D. 7, a Betrayer, his plastic fleshed face mostly ripped off during the rescue of Raina, motioned to the 1500 Betrayers behind him. They had waited long enough for Raina to open the main door. They had used all of their resources for this endeavor with little to show for it. First, they had sent a virus that had scrambled Mauser just enough to screw up the electronic key that they had hoped to use to destroy those interfering females. Now Raina had apparently failed to catch and kill them. True, they had discovered the smaller door, but it was just as indestructable as the larger one. Their probing force had also failed and been wiped out by the formidable defenses of this ancient vault. Since Raina had not exited and thereby opened a doorway for them, their masters had given them the order for an all out assault. They would have to overwelm the defences with sheer weight of numbers to get close enough to the smaller door for a new scambler key they had divised that would indeed open that door. If he had been human the Betrayer would have probably had a thought of; ' I knew we shouldn't have relied on that mutant cunt. We shall have a special treat in store for her.' Since he was just a robot though he simply morphed his arms into blasters as those behind him did. At an electronic signal the horde of Betrayers charged. Right into dozens of G.O.L.D. designed lasers, acid guns, electro nets, rockets, and blasters. .................................................... Alarms sounded in the halls and in many of the rooms of the G.O.L.D. coplex as Cleopatra ran through the halls. The writings above the doorways had faded which is why she couldn't tell what was any of the rooms. Some rooms contained living quarters, she had found 2 broom closets and a kitchen. The alarm was not sounding in all the rooms, possibly age had indeed crept up on this vault. At one point, Cleo had heard the sounds of many mechanical devices, and fearing Betrayers, had hid in a bathroom shower. Cleopatra could still see the hallway and couldn't resist peeking despite being scared shitless. But the battle robots and drones that were rushing through the hall were not Betrayers. These robots were Defenders, designed and built by the benevolent self willed robots of Mechas 4 for use in G.O.L.D. facilities. As soon as they passed, Cleopatra resumed her search through the rooms. A loud explosion seemed to shake even this reinforced vault. Clapping her hands over her ears and screaming in panic for the first time, Cleo ran. Cleopatra ran and ran. Right into a door. As she looked up her terror was reduced to tears of mingled joy and fear. The faded letters on this door read Cy o C mb r. ....................................................... Raina blocked 2 kicks from Hel, spun around low trying to leg sweep Sarge. Sarge leaped and kicked barely missing Raina's head as she ducked. Hel picked off 2 of Raina's puches, ducked a third and got caught with a kick to the stomch. Sarge landed a glancing punch on Raina, who caught the blondes second punch and flipped Sarge down. Sarge rolled away from the foot stomp and kipped up. Hel kicked from the right, Sarge fro the left. Raina ducked under Sarge's leg, blocked Hel's kick and threw 3 quick punches at Hel's mid-section. Hel managed to block the punches, barely. Raina threw a spinning backfist at Sarge next. Sarge ducked but got caught with a kick across her tits that sent her reeling back. Raina paused for a brief second as she saw the milk coming from Sarge's excited breasts, her own nipples were hard. Hel took that lapse in concentration and landed a stiff jab right in Raina's left breast, followed by another in Raina's right tit. Raina's own breast milk squirted out under the punches as she recovered her senses and punched Hel back. Despite the seriousness of the fight, all 3 women were getting extremely turned on. Raina could read their minds and knew every move that Hel and Sarge were going to make before they made them, but it was still 2 against 1 and their skill levels were equal. The outcome of the fight would be anyones guess. Raia barely missed Sarge with her next kick and was momentarily off-balance. Hel's jump kick caught Raina in the ribcage. Raina gasped in pain as she luckily picked off a kick from Sarge and blocked Hel's follow up snap kick. Raina's counter kick caught Hel in the stomich sending her back. Raina tried a rapid fire 4 punch combo on Sarge whoblocked them and threw a backfst that Raina ducked. Hel moved in again wth 2 kicks. Raina stopped those and 2 punches from Sarge. Raina then did a splits move underneath both women and landed solid punches in the stomichs of Hel and Sarge. In other rooms an alarm was sounding, but the three women in this room didn't hear it. Raina rolled forward and got back to her feet. Sarge and Hel had already recovered from the double punch. Sarge missed with a side kick, then blocked Raina's heel kick. Hel flipped sideways off a wall catching Raina with a solid heel kick of her own. Raina lashed out with a backfist that connected on Hel's jaw stunning her momentarily. Sarge moved in a flurry of kicks and punches that Raina blocked, but caused her to back away from Hel. Sarge got careless and telegraphed her next punch. Raina caught her leg and punched Sarge right in the pussy. Sarge screamed and went down. Hel was coming groggily back to her feet when Raina's spinning backkick landed across both of Hel's large breasts. Raina attempted to land a chop to the side of Hel's neck that would have rendered Hel unconcious, but Sarge, ignoring the pain in her groin, tackled Raina hard from behind. Raina landed hard, but neither Sarge or Hel could capitilize on the momentary advantage. All three women made it back to their feet. Sweat mingled with breast milk on all of them. Cautiousy they circled each other. A loud explosion sent all three women down hard, barely concious. .......................................................... The losses the Betrayers were taking was staggering. Already a third of them were down, shot to pieces, slagged, or disintigrated. But slowly they were overwelming the defenses of the vault. Many of them would sacrifice themselves deliberately just to take out one laser cannon or misslile launcer. The robot with the ripped off face and his squad had made it to the smaller door. The key they used triggered a last ditch booby trap, that wiped out 90% of that squad in a huge explosion. The ripped-face Betrayer staggered to his feet throwing off bits and pieces of his comrades that had not been as fortunate. Indeed, most of his plastic flesh was gone now, but the secondary door was blown off it's hinges. Nearly 900 Betrayers headed for the now vulnerable opening, 200 more didn't make it, but the outer defenses were finally silenced. The Betrayers crowded into the upper hall as the elevator doors opened unexpectantly. If the Betrayers had been human, many of them would have prayed as the explosive device inside detonated sending nearly100 more to whatever robots call hell. So powerful was that explosion that the entire vault shook. The short drop was no problem for the Betrayers, what awaited them below was. Seven hundred and fourteen Betrayers clashed with 150 Mechas 4 battle robots and 200 assorted attack drones. ....................................................... The lights flickered and then went out as Cleopatra entered the room. The red emergency lights cast a sinister eerie red glow around the room. Slowly and cautiously Cleopatra walked over to the unmistakable row of cyronic beds. Only one was occupied, just as Voice had thought. Cleopatra gasped as she looked down at the occupant. The man was ruggedly handsome, shoulder-length black hair framed his face. A slight scar was over the right eye, almost hidden by the eyebrow. As she brushed away the outer frost Cleo could see the broad shoulders and corded ripped physique. The body was that of a gymnast rather than a body-builder. Cleopatra blushed as she saw the lower half of the nude man. He looked even bigger than the brief movie image she had seen. There was no question about it, this man was the almost legendary Questar, and the attached sensors and monitors showed that he was still alive! " Oh, I'll get you out of there," Cleo whispered. The sounds of a raging battle seemed to grow closer now as Cleopatra desperately looked around for some way to free the trapped hero. The room shook as explosions and the sounds of blasters were growing dangerously close. Cleo closed her eyes and said a silent prayer. Opening her eyes she saw it! A red button with the barely legible words ' Emergency Revival'. With a cry of desperation she stabbed the button and was rewarded by a hiss of water vapor as the coffin like chamber sprang to life and attempted to literally de-thaw 500 years of cyronic freeze. " Target designate Cleopatra sighted. Switching to claw mode," a robotic voce said behind Cleopatra. Cleopatra spun around and screamed. Arms morphing into steel fists with 8" long claws was a Betrayer, his plastic flesh hung in tatters. Behind him were 5 more. The Betrayer's clawed arm lashed towards Cleopatra's head. Cleopatra closed her eyes and screamed again. ........................................................ end of Chapter 4: Is this the end of Cleopatra?
