Chapter 75: Leg Day, All Day

Everyone stopped talking and looked over to Sasha and I. Did I just hear that right? Save her planet? I thought it was just Xenowraith's that were the problem attacking the Xenophin? How was that going to destroy the world? Maybe I was just misinterpreting her, so I tried to get some clarification.

"But you said that there was just the problem with the Wraith's, right?"

"Yes, but they have discovered Xeno-Tsunami, The planets Primordial, and are trying to awaken her to use against us and kill everyone on the planet. If we don't stop them soon, it might be too late."

"Like how soon? Within the month?"

"No, they have to charge her core, and that takes time, but no more than four months remain."

"I really think we need to win the race first, just in case. If we win, we can ask to borrow Alexander to save your planet."

"Do you think he would come? If so, that is more than we can ask for, Dave, and It's a good plan!" Tilly said, coming up behind me.

I turned to come face to face with Tilly and her pale blue skin and gills on her sides. Her ample chest did well to cover the gills, but I thought they looked good in her. I looked into her sparkling eyes, caused by a natural pigment in her skin or something, I wasn't really sure.

"We are the Watch, right? Isn't this kind of thing our job?"

"Not really…We are more the police, you know, stopping races from other planets from harassing each other, but I like your spirit! Let's do it! What do you say, Captian Jill?" Irellia asked.

"Of course, we will help them and the planet. I will go prepare The wave drive while you all start training."

"Wah? We are starting now?" Why!?" Mikota pouted, shooting me a glance from the corner of her eye, but Irellia wasn't going to hear it.

"Start running!"

"All of us?"

"NOW!" Irellia's cute act dropped, and she roared, and we ran.

The first part of our training seemed to be nonstop running until we couldn't run anymore. Then we would run some more until we almost puked. After that, we got to do something different, Pushups, until our arms gave out, no counting.

The first three hours of this almost killed all of us except Sasha and Maxine. They both seemed fine, and neither of them showed any sweat, but they panted, making the chest heave. Maybe they couldn't sweat because they were energy-based beings? That was a possibility; I would have to ask them another time when I had air to spare.

After four hours total, we were able to finally stop, and we all lay panting and heaving for breath. I looked around me, and it was a scene of the rise and fall of so many breasts.

I looked away before making things awkward for myself. I rolled over onto my stomach and pull myself up, looking around at the MAS units, but then I saw Irellia looking at me and smiling while shaking her head.

"No, you will be going to eat, and then we will do this again!"

"Whhh-yyyy!" The girls all cried out as I put a hand over my face.

"Because you're all out of shape and are acting lazy! So I'm here to whip you back into shape! You're doing a race, aren't you?"

Irellia had a good point, but that didn't make me any more excited to be doing this again. We all dragged ourselves back to the cafeteria, and Jill was waiting for us. She had gotten all our meals out and prepare so we didn't have to wait to eat. Somehow I figured this was a way to get us back to training faster, and a sideways glance at Irellia and Jill confirmed it.

The two of them were being quite suspicious with their knowing smiles and winks as we all scarfed down our food. I finished and turned to Jill to ask about the Wave Jump. She explained that it already happened, but we still had to make a three-day journey to the mining station because it was too dangerous to Warp that close.

I wanted to lick my plate clean, but I was hauled by my suit back to the hangar with everyone else. For the next three days, Irellia ran us ragged and then ran us some more. After we would eat, run, workout, run, eat, run, exercise, bed.

On the third day, all of us were starting to get used to the abuse, and we ended up only having a half-day of training because we showed up to Delta Merrowmine, One of the many Dynam-filled asteroids. Everyone had showers and got changed into another of the same suits, but I was sad that no one joined me, but we didn't have a lot of time before we had to leave on our shuttle.

We all met in the bay that I first entered in. It was smaller than the main hangar but had enough room to store another shuttle of the same size. Inside I noticed two weird-looking covered racks that could hold the small MAS units, but I got distracted by Mikota pressing her chest into me as she held my hand. I guess the girls decided that it was fair to let Mikota have me for a while since we were interrupted by Armond and Irellia's arrival.

Everyone boarded the ship and sat down in the white Acura-gel seats, and they closed around us but leaving us free to move until the ship to off, to a point. Tama and Mikota were having a competition to see whole could stretch the farthest. The two girls' chests we pressed tight into their bodies made nipples and their lower areas clearly visible as I turned back to watch them.

This time Irellia took the pilot seat, and Sasha was beside her. I turned back to see the two share a mischievous look before Irellia started to move the ship without warning. Both girls squealed as I turned around to see them stuck in awkward looking, falling sideways from getting pulled back.

Once back in space, we were able to relax, and the girls started to yell at Irellia but stopped when she asked how many hours of Private PT they were looking for. The rest of us laughed as we neared the massive blue, glowing asteroid.

A skeleton structure covered the blue rock, and long shafts led down to the surface, and I could only assume into the asteroid itself. I turned to asked Maxine about the mining operation, but she had no idea.

//KNELL IS A PLANET RICH WITH DYNAM, BUT IT IS A GAS GIANT AND ONLY THE SPECIALIZED RACE KNOWN AS SHYFTERS CAN HARVEST IT. EACH TYPE OF SHYFT HAS A CERTAIN JOB. ARACORIAN'S ARE SPIDER LIKE AND THE HARVEST THE DYNAM BY CREATING WEBS TO CATCH IT. NEXT THE VERDATION'S STRETCH FROM THE BACKS OF DRAGORIAN'S AND THEN FLY OUT THE COLLECTED DYNAM. ONCE IN SPACE THE PRIMORDIUM'S CREATE A SHELL COATING TO ALLOW THE BESTARION'S TO BUILD THE STRUCTURES AROUND THEM FOR MINING. FINALLY, THE METALLURG'S HARVEST THE DYNAM INTO CANISTERS

That was a long-winded explanation, but that was probably the short version. During that time, Irellia docked, and our seat released us, and by the time I finished reading, everyone was already standing. I got up, and we all filed out, but Mikota and Tama each grabbed one of my hands, so I walked out with them.

The inside of the docking tube was covered in a material that was reflective and flexible. I let go of Tama's hand for a moment as I reached out to touch it, but my hand was swatted down by Irellia.

"Don't ever touch that stuff! It Metalrugics, a metal type created by the Metallurgs that is extremely flexible, but it is charged with Dynam from the asteroid. If you touch it, your body will be overcharged with Dynam energy. Unlike Sasha and Maxine, you cant freely use Dynam. You need a gun or melee weapon designed to use it to discharge the energy. This means if you touch it, you will explode."

Explode? Holy crap! I was only a couple centimeters away from touching before my hand was slapped down. That was far too close for my sense of comfort, and I grabbed Tama's hand again. From this point, I vowed not to let go of either of the girl's hands, lest I inadvertently kill myself and everyone around me!

We were walked for about five minis before coming to a door. Irellia waited a couple seconds, and then a voice came over the speaker.

//What's the password?

"I'm gonna plant my foot in your ass if you don't open this door right now!" Irellia commanded.

Metallic laughter rang over the speakers, and I had to wonder what kind of thing was on the other side of this door? Irellia had obviously had to deal with this person before, or she would not be acting like this, I think. There was another pause before the door opened to reveal something I wasn't expecting.
