Earth's Last Hope Falls Pt. 2 (X-Com: Enemy Within)

A/N: This is part two, make sure to go back a chapter and read part one if you haven't yet.

-x-X-x-

A lone soldier stood in a darkened warehouse. The X-Com patch stood out starkly on her otherwise bare flak vest. The female trooper held a large rifle in her arms like it was nothing, spinning this way and that on a dime as she looked for hostiles. Then they began to appear, Sectoid after Sectoid in rapid succession.

In five seconds, the X-Com soldier had placed bullets in the foreheads of five alien scum. Well, technically she'd placed bullets in the foreheads of five alien cardboard cutouts, but the effect was still pretty thrilling. The simulation ended, the lights in the warehouse came on, and the female trooper smiled happily as her squad mates ran out to meet her, whooping and hollering.

In the observation deck above the large empty space, Vahlen's assistants were all fairly excited by the results of the test as well; murmuring to each other as they carefully avoided the blonde woman that was their boss. Dr. Vahlen stood with her arms crossed over her chest as she looked down at the volunteer below, a small sharp smile on her face.

Unlike the soldiers and the techs, Vahlen was not so interested in celebrating the trooper's victory. She wasn't even interested in celebrating her own success. In the end, this was just the next step in the blonde scientist's research. A successful test, yet, but just another test nonetheless. Still, it was… heartening to see how far they'd come in just a few short weeks. Vahlen had delved into gene modification like a mad woman and she knew that without the Commander's support, she'd never have gotten this far.

There were some small concerns with what she was currently doing, but so long as the leader of X-Com herself was signing off on everything and giving it her full backing, nobody dared raise their voice in dissent. To appease the few detractors that her gene modding work had, Vahlen had been nice enough to make it a volunteer only research project.

This had slowed things down a little at first, but especially after today, Vahlen imagined that there'd be no shortage of volunteers for future experiments. Not anymore, not after seeing what the soldier down below had been able to do. Their reflexes were faster, their arms and legs stronger, their bodies as a whole just plain tougher. The downsides were that they were using alien DNA to enhance human bodies.

This made the X-Com soldiers who volunteered for the gene modding slightly more like the aliens they were fighting. Though Vahlen didn't realize it, wasn't allowed to realize it in fact, this made it so that any 'enhanced' female human could theoretically be impregnated by their inhuman foes. On a more concerning note tactically, it made the X-Com soldiers far more vulnerable to the pheromone attacks that some of the alien species could unleash on them. Still, the gene mods were too valuable NOT to be used regardless of downsides.

Vahlen had even developed a gene mod for the mind that would make the connection of the alien devices between the X-Com Commander and her troops even stronger. That at least, nobody had been able to construe as a bad thing or a crime against humanity. After all, the mind meld devices had allowed for mission after mission without any squad casualties. Most of the time, the all-female X-Com Squads came back without a scratch on them and more often than not they also came back with prisoners or technology.

There was no one who could possibly find fault the Commander's leadership. Not with the results she and Vahlen had started showing as of late. A slightly larger smile spread across the blonde scientist's face as she thought of the red head she'd become slightly… enamored with. She spent quite some time under the Commander's desk these days, at least once a day in fact. Vahlen always had her best epiphanies on her knees. She did her best thinking with her head between the Commander's thighs.

Licking her lips, Vahlen wiped any trace of emotion or arousal from her face when she finally turned away from the observation glass. Walking across the room, she took hold of the case she'd prepared earlier in the event of a successful test. Tucking it under her arm, X-Com's Chief Science Officer left the observatory behind and headed to the other side of the underground base, making a beeline for the Commander's office.

Once she arrived, she knocked and a moment later was admitted. Judging by the flush she saw on the red head's face as she walked up to the X-Com Commander's desk, her superior had been… taking care of herself when Vahlen came calling. Licking her lips, the blonde scientist momentarily considered helping finish the woman off before they continued, but ultimately she fought back against what was rapidly becoming a natural instinct. Vahlen managed this by focusing on what she had for the Commander, rather than what the Commander had for her.

Setting down the case she'd lugged halfway across the base, Vahlen faced it towards the crimson haired woman sitting in front of her and undid the clasps, opening it up to reveal the filled injectors within. The X-Com Commander's eyes lit up slightly as she took them all in.

"I take it today's test was a total success then?"

Vahlen grinned at that and nodded.

"The trooper did us proud Commander. There were no complications so here I am, reporting as instructed to help you get started on your own gene therapy. Once this first batch of injections has properly set within your body, we can see about increasing things another level."

X-Com's leader nodded a spark of desire in her eyes as she stared at the injectors. After a moment though, the crimson haired buxom beauty furrowed her brow in confusion and reached out, touching two of the injectors that were colored the same.

"What is this one and why am I taking two of it?"

Vahlen blinked and looked down before blushing slightly like the love struck young women she'd always looked down upon.

"A-ah, that second one isn't for you, it's for me. That's the mod focused on the mind. It'll hook me into your primary mind meld device so that we are always c-connected Commander. Your own injection will strengthen your connection and your control over all of those linked to the network, including myself."

The desire in the red head's eyes only grew, becoming something more akin to greed as her lips turned up into a wide smile.

"Then I suppose that's where we'll start, isn't it?"

Blushing even harder now, Vahlen nodded almost shyly, the normally stoic and composed blonde scientist completely unable to control herself around the woman she'd spent so much time eating out over the past few weeks. Reaching forward, Dr. Vahlen grabbed her own injector at the same time as her superior grabbed hers. Together, the two of them placed it against their necks and pressed the trigger.

The first of many injections flooded through their systems and Vahlen gasped as she became part of something bigger, albeit still slightly apart from the whole. It was like being the assistant coach to a football team. The X-Com Commander would of course be the coach in that analogy, with the actual X-Com squads playing the role of the players.

She was definitely closer to the Commander's mind than anything else; being able to reach out metaphorically and mentally touch the red head's warm inviting presence with barely a thought. However, if she focused hard enough she could sense the soldiers as well. She didn't think they could sense her presence though, not unless the Commander allowed it and currently, the crimson haired beauty wasn't.

Wondering why, Vahlen frowned as she 'leaned' back from the mindscape she'd been playing around in, only to find the X-Com Commander sitting in front of her, a wide grin on her face and every injector in the case already emptied.

"Doctor, is there a problem? Did you… get lost in me?"

Blinking dumbly, the blonde scientist glanced at a nearby wall and realized that she'd been standing there focused on the mental connection for over ten minutes, giving the Commander plenty of time to finish injecting the alien genes into her body. Biting her lower lip as she felt a fresh surge of arousal well up within her, her pussy starting to moisten immediately, Vahlen nodded.

The X-Com Commander's grin just widened even further and she gestured down at her crotch. Hurriedly, the Chief Science Officer of humanity's best hope for beating back the alien menace fast walked around her superior's desk, knelt down at the Commander's side, and then crawled into the space under said desk in order to eat her out.

As Vahlen got down to carpet munching while at the same time fingering herself quite needily, her superior curled a hand through her blonde locks and let out a slow sigh. The Commander's own cunt swiftly grew wet under Vahlen's attentions and in no time at all Vahlen had a face full of pussy juices to contend with. She didn't mind them one single bit.

-x-X-x-

Time went by and things changed, dramatically. First and foremost, the Commander got a cock. Yes, that was the most important thing to happen, because it was what affected Vahlen most directly. The blonde scientist was shocked to learn that the extra gene mods that she'd prepared for the Commander that had to do with multitasking better and using rudimentary psionics as they'd seen from some of the aliens, had somehow given the red head a full on dick.

No longer did the X-Com Commander have a pussy for Vahlen to eat out. The busty red head had become a full on futanari, something that Vahlen had learned about on one drunken lonely night back in her college days. X-Com's leader still had the tits and the hips and the body shape of a woman, but there now swung a full blown dick between her legs, rather than the cunt that Vahlen had gotten so used to.

She learned to suck cock, specifically the Commander's, quite well though given enough time. Of course, specifying it was the Commander's actually wasn't that important after the second dramatic change to how X-Com worked. One of the other gene mods Vahlen had developed had ultimately been given the green light to be put into use for the organization's general population.

In essence, every male member of X-Com, soldiers and engineers and scientists alike, had been given the option to either take a supporting role in the fight against the alien menace… or be turned female. It was a bit of a shock for the entire organization of course, but their reasoning was quite sound and completely infallible. The mental connection that the Commander shared with their troops was phenomenal and after using herself as a test case for civilian use of said connection, Vahlen was happy to put her stamp on a memo that said the rest of the base's personnel would benefit from said connection as well.

Unfortunately for the men of X-Com, the mental connection did not work as well with them. In fact, it had nearly killed the Commander and the men connected to her. In the end, only women could be added to the network… but the network was crucial to their fight against the invasion taking place across Earth. That left just one option. Make X-Com completely female. Yet there were many skilled and experienced soldiers, engineers, and scientists among X-Com's male population. It wasn't right to remove them simply for what lay between their legs.

So of course, Vahlen devised a way to remove what lay between their legs and replace it with a nice pair of breasts, wide hips, and a cute little vagina. The fact that the Commander now had a dick as well was lost on both her and her Chief Science Officer, but then that was on purpose. By this point, the Ethereals had wormed their way into the X-Com Commander's head quite effectively and Vahlen really wasn't any better off.

Ultimately, most men took the gender swap. The people who were recruited into X-Com were not known for their selfishness and their narcissism. No, the men and women who made up Earth's Last Hope were in fact the bravest, most courageous, and most patriotic motherfuckers on the planet. And wasn't it something, that all it took was an alien invasion to make patriotism more about being a member of the human race than it was about loyalty to one particular stretch of Earth surrounded by invisibly borders above all the others.

The men and women of X-Com were there to save their species and their world. And so, the men of X-Com became women and in the end, X-Com became an all-female organization. It wasn't overnight, not by a long shot. There were a few dissenters who ultimately ended up being sent back to their prospective governments, usually in disgrace for not being willing to give all.

But ultimately, the change was made. And those who had once been men didn't even notice as their mindsets swapped to that of women in the days that followed thanks to their direct connection to the Commander and their natural born female comrades. X-Com became a cohesive fighting force, but it also became more unified inside of the base as well, as the women, both newly transformed and naturally born, worked together for the salvation of the human race.

… Or so they thought.

-x-X-x-

The X-Com Commander smiled, leaning back as she looked through a squad of six's eyes at the battle before them. The squad was, to put it succinctly, kicking serious ass. With the full complement of approved gene mods in their bodies, these six women were X-Com's finest now. They were the strongest, the faster, and the toughest. And the aliens they were fighting truly didn't know what had hit them.

There were bodies strewn all across the battlefield as the crimson haired Commander mentally directed the Heavy to place her boot heel directly on the neck of the barely breathing mutated Viper laid out beneath her. The Vipers were an interesting addition to the war against the aliens, showing up as they had only recently. But this one was off, which was why the busty red head in charge of X-Com had ultimately decided to have them capture it alive.

The squad of six had secured the site and killed everything else. Now it was just them and this… this Viper King? It certainly looked bigger and badder than the other Vipers they'd come across. The Commander had a moment of naughtiness as she wondered briefly if it was bigger in another way as well. The six women currently connected most closely to her mind blushed in unison, each remembering the experiences they'd had with the snake-like aliens' inhuman cocks.

All of them glanced down at once to stare at where they each knew the cloacal opening would lie on this massive beast before them. Worse than that, the all-female squad knew exactly how to start coaxing his dick out. They were moments away from doing so (and the Commander was moments away from allowing it) when the evac arrived, having been called in moments earlier. There was a sense of disappointment in all of them and it followed the squad as they dragged the still conscious Viper King onto the ship and strapped him in before doing the same to themselves.

The monstrous Viper's eyes flicked back and forth between the human females as the ship carried them back to base, his tongue snaking out and tasting the air. When he found it laden with scents of arousal, the Viper King literally couldn't resist releasing pheromones. His pheromones were invisible to the naked eye though, and by the time the X-Com Squad smelled it, it was already too late.

The red haired leader of X-Com, watching and feeling all of this from her office blushed furiously as the X-Com soldiers got out of their seats, discarding their webbing in favor of crouching down beside the bound Viper King. Gloves and vests and shirts came off, followed by boots and pants and panties. The driver glanced back, but she was connected to the Commander's mind as well and all she did was smile as her face heated up in arousal at the sight of her comrades preparing to fuck the massive alien snake.

Several hands moved to the Viper King's cloacal opening and after some massaging, a particularly large hemipenis unfurled from within the Viper's body, growing larger and larger before the eyes of the women so in need of a good dicking. In no time at all, the first of the six woman squad was on the Viper King's dick, riding it like there was no tomorrow. She came again and again around his cock and shared her enjoyment and pleasure with her comrades both vocally and mentally. This was the reason that the other five women were willing to wait their turns, leaning back and fingering themselves as they watched.

All six members of the squad felt the Viper King's cock inside of them, as did the X-Com Commander. It felt odd, feeling a ghost dick fucking the vagina she no longer had, but she'd lived with a pussy for so long that the sensation transferred over perfectly. And in the end, the Commander's futa prick grew fast and it grew oh so large as the red head moaned, beginning to stroke herself off right there in her office, desperate for release.

Unfortunately, her new member was so big and so massive that her hands weren't doing it for her. Not even the pleasure she was feeling from the women as they fucked themselves on the Viper King's cock wasn't enough. More than that, it didn't feel quite right. It was like she needed something else, a hole to stick her huge length in and dominate thoroughly before she could finally cum.

The door to her office suddenly slid open as a panting blushing Dr. Vahlen used the emergency override code to get in without the Commander's permission. Yet, the red head wasn't too upset by the action, especially when the blonde scientist began stripping as she walked towards the desk that X-Com's leader was sat behind.

Standing up, the busty crimson haired futa met Vahlen halfway and in the next moment, her Chief Science Officer was pinned face down on the carpet of the Commander's office, her cunt taking quite the pounding as the red head slammed in and out of it. Vahlen moaned wantonly, climaxing almost immediately around her superior's cock, but that was just the beginning for the poor blonde. The Commander fucked Vahlen through orgasm after orgasm of her own, her futa prick having a seemingly inexhaustible supply of cum as she filled the blonde up over and over again.

Ultimately, Vahlen took the Commander's dick for hours. After all, the red haired woman railing into her from behind wasn't done until the X-Com Squad she was mentally connected to came in for a landing at base and finally stopped fucking the Viper King that had them all so damn aroused. Only once that little reverse gangbang ended did the Commander's massive hard member finally stop aching and throbbing so much.

Only once the Viper King was secured in the labs and the X-Com Squad was showering off theirs and his juices did the red head manage to pull out of Vahlen's gaping cunt, unleashing a torrent of white hot cum in the process as the nearly insensate blonde shuddered and spasmed, her distended midriff slowly deflating as all of that sticky seed finally escaped her.

Clearing her throat, the X-Com Commander looked at what she'd done to her Chief Scientist and blushed prettily, embarrassed in her actions but unable to truly feel shame over them. Smiling sheepishly, the busty futa reached down and picked Vahlen up bridal style, an easy task given the strength mod she'd been injected with.

Never before had the Commander been happier to have a personal bath right off of her office. It made dumping Vahlen in the combination bathtub shower and spraying the delirious woman down with ice cold water all the easier in the end. When Vahlen was presentable once more, for a given definition of the term, the red head sent her Chief Science Officer back to work. After all, it couldn't all be about sex. Vahlen had a new alien to study and vivisect.

-x-X-x-

Later that night, the Commander of X-Com, Earth's Last Hope and last line of defense, dreamed. And if any of the nations of the world had been privy to those dreams, they no doubt would have stripped her of her rank, or better yet, disbanded X-Com altogether. Because these days, the busty red head dreamed not of victory, but of peace with the aliens.

She dreamed of Ethereals, the alien commanders of the conglomerate of species that had invaded Earth. And though she only remembered it in her dreams and never in the waking world, the Commander dreamed that she learned from these ancient and wise creatures. In the beginning, these dreams had felt like nightmares. In the beginning, the Commander had resisted and the conversion had been against her will.

But that's the thing about conversion. There comes a point where the one being converted stops knowing that they need to fight. The Commander had reached that point a while ago and now she was happy in her dreams, happy to learn at the metaphysical feet of such wondrous beings of knowledge and wisdom. She was, in essence, happy to be converted.

You will become one of us.

"Yes teacher, but you must guide me and my people as you have so many before us."

It was glorious, what they'd already shown her. The Ethereals were not here to conquer or subjugate or even more laughably, destroy Earth and the human race. They were here to uplift them. Her species was the next in a long line of species that the Ethereals had taken under their wing, protected, molded, sculpted. Humanity was due for a chance and these amazing, awe-inspiring aliens would be that change.

You will become one of us.

Though they really could drone on sometimes. The X-Com Commander felt a small spark of irritation at the repetitive nature of some of these dream conversations.

"Yes, but how? How do I become one of you? How do I save my people?"

The process has already begun. You need do nothing but accept all that we offer. Your chance to save your people will come and when it does, you will be ready so long as you do not resist our gifts.

Well, that was a bit clearer at least, thankfully.

"I do not remember our conversations in the waking world though! How am I to keep myself from resisting? Out there, outside of this dream, I believe I am fighting you with all my heart! What if I do some actual damage to your plans without knowing better? What if the waking me manages to find and hurt one of you?!"

The process has already begun. There is no danger.

Great, back to repetition. Doing the metaphysical equivalent of an explosive sigh, the busty red head shrugged her mental shoulders.

"Alright then. I trust you teacher. I know you have my best interests in heart. I just have to have faith that everything will work out according to your plan and your design."

Indeed my child. Rest easy and know that you will be the instrument of our victory. It is through you that the human race will be saved.

That was a nice thought. The crimson haired Commander smiled at it and then the dream began to fade away and so did her smile. She hated waking up, hated losing all that she was, all that the Ethereals had made her once she was back in the waking world. But she'd long since outgrown the desire to throw a tantrum over it. She would not beg them to keep her asleep forever as she had a while ago, back when the conversion first started to take hold and she went from foolishly resistant to ecstatically jubilant overnight.

Letting out a sigh and accepting that it would be another day before she could see her teacher and bask in his and his kin's beautiful psionic presence again, the Commander of X-Com woke up and forgot everything.

"It is through me that the human race will be saved."

They were the first words out of the woman's mouth as she sat up in bed. The beautiful busty red head frowned, her brow furrowing in confusion as she reached up and touched her lips.

"What the hell?"

It was a rather innocuous line to be fair. Given her position, it was actually perfectly understandable. Still though…

"The fuck kind of dream was I having?"

Yet try as she might, the red head couldn't remember. It was always so frustrating, losing one's dreams like that. Usually it was hit and miss, but of course, thanks to the Ethereals' manipulations, X-Com's Commander didn't realize that she'd actually lost all memories of her dreams for the past several weeks now. She couldn't even focus on the idea for longer than a few seconds.

Letting out a shrug, the red head pulled the covers back and swung her feet off the side of her bed. Immediately she felt the huge hard on between her legs and a whimper escaped the Commander's throat as she instinctively reached down and stroked her massive futa cock. She needed relief and fast. Luckily for her, she knew someone who could take care of her and not only was this person always awake by this time of morning anyways, she was quite eager to give the Commander relief anytime, anyplace.

Licking her lips and smiling wickedly, the leader of X-Com let the last thoughts of her dreams fade away without a fight as she instead focused all of her attention on firing off a message to her Chief Science Officer. Vahlen responded in seconds with the letters 'omw' and within minutes, the door to the Commander's quarters announced a visitor waiting for her approval.

The red head let her cute blonde cum dump in of course, and the two met halfway before falling to the floor in a pile of flailing limbs and smacking lips. Elsewhere, an Ethereal 'looked on' in undisguised interest. Human mating rituals were… intriguing. The frail being could never hope to physically partake in such activities itself, but it and several of its comrades had certainly enjoyed watching and feeling through the eyes of their expendable troops as said troops fucked the shit out of the X-Com Squads.

Watching the leader of X-Com fuck her Chief Scientist however, was a new feeling entirely. Perhaps it was simply because the Ethereal studying their copulation knew that every time they reached orgasm, they were brainwashing themselves a bit more right there on the spot. Or perhaps it was just simply entertaining, watching two of the humans that COULD have given the Ethereals the most trouble reduced to this.

Even if the red haired mammal was set to become one of them and lead her species forward unto glory, it was still entertaining watching her cavort about as she was now. The fragile Ethereal settled back and continued to observe with the equivalent of a smile emanating from it psionically.

All was going according to plan.

-x-X-x-

Dr. Vahlen smiled wickedly as she looked down through the observation window at the jungle-like terrarium below. It'd taken some doing to construct the thing, but the Commander had given the order and her blonde Chief Scientist wasn't the kind to refuse her. After the capture of the Viper King, they'd held him in a normal cell for a bit, before this had become his new home.

They'd been running tests and experiments on the massive Viper ever since his arrival, but it'd just made sense that putting him in a more natural sort of habitat would get better results for said tests. Just like this upcoming experiment just made sense to Vahlen. The blonde scientist's wicked smile grew even wider as the doors to the Viper King's cell slid open and two groups of X-Com Soldiers moved in, weapons drawn.

This was going to be… fun.

-x-X-x-

"I get the rationale behind using this bastard to get some practice in for the real fight out there, but are we sure these non-lethal rounds will even touch him?"

That came from one of the members of the new X-Com Squad. These were all women who had once been men, though part of the process had made it so that the change was mental as well as physical. They remembered being male, but couldn't fathom enjoying it any longer. They were women, through and through. The other X-Com Squad was the same squad that had 'captured' the Viper King in the first place. Given their experience, it was thought that they would be best to 'break in' the newbies.

Said Squad looked to each other, exchanging wicked grins before their Squad Leader spoke up in response to the rookie's concern.

"I suppose we're about to find out. Do you smell that? Those are its pheromones."

As if on cue, the Viper King falls from the tree above and lands atop the Squad Leader, pinning her down with an 'oof!' though the woman doesn't really resist either. There's pandemonium among the rookies as they all fire at once, to absolutely no effect on the massive, armored Viper.

"Hold your fire! Hold your fire! It's not working!"

That comes from one of the 'experienced' soldiers and the newbies eventually stop firing, frozen stiff as they stare at the massive Viper King and their leader, groaning and moaning and squirming ineffectually beneath him.

"Our weapons have no effect rookies… we need to defeat him the same way we did out in the wild. Put down your guns and rifles, slowly. Show him your hands, show him your submission."

"What the hell?! What kind of tactic is that?! How is that supposed to help-AIIIEEE!"

The Viper King surges forward and grabs up the female rookie who's shouting. He hisses in her face and then tears her armor off of her. In moments, the X-Com Soldier is impaled on the alien's massive schlong as he thrusts up into her, all while gripping her waist and dragging her up and down his shaft like some sort of sex toy.

Those who are used to this sort of thing just smile happily and begin to strip naked, the Squad Leader included now that she's no longer pinned. The rookies, seeing this, are horrified. Each and every one of them runs, but none can escape the cell. They aren't equipped to break out after all. Dr. Vahlen gets some exceedingly helpful data over the next few hours as the Viper King slakes his lusts on each and every single human woman in his enclosure.

He starts with the talkative one, and by the time he's dropping her back to the 'jungle' floor, the rookie's eyes are rolled back in her head and her belly is distended, full of alien seed. The Viper King looks around at all the naked women kneeling in his vicinity, his tongue snaking out and a low, pleased hiss leaving his through. But ultimately, he leaves them where they are and commences to hunt instead.

Each and every X-Com rookie is dragged back to that spot and fucked senseless in front of the naked, submissive soldiers. Each and every one is pumped full of cum and left moaning wantonly for more. The Viper King pulls the entire five-woman squad back to where their comrades await them patiently. Only once he's done seeding the resistant ones does he move onto the more pliant ones.

But in the end, both X-Com Squads are soundly, thoroughly fucked by the Viper King, filled with both cum and pleasure as the X-Com Commander makes sure from afar that they learn the joys of being plowed by alien dick. The red head doesn't even know the real reason she's doing it. Her subconscious mind, the one influenced by the Ethereals, is prodding her along.

Dr. Vahlen is too far gone to question it though. Ultimately, she gets too much delicious data to go over, not to mention the fact that preliminary readings suggest that all TEN women might be pregnant once the Viper King is done with him. After the alien tires himself out, the naked, cum-cover, cum-filled women slowly pick themselves up, the experienced ones helping the rookies to their feet.

"What'd I tell you rookie? Didn't I say we'd defeat him?"

The rookie can only nod tiredly, though she has the good grace to look sheepish over questioning a soldier with more experience than her.

"You were right… that was much more effective than those nonlethal weapons they gave us."

The women didn't even realize how their minds were being molded and reshaped to the aliens' preferences.

-x-X-x-

The next mission, the rookie squad is sent out. Rookies no longer, they move like a well-oiled machine under the Commander's mental guidance. Standard operating procedure is to bring back as many living alien prisoners as possible these days. Shoot to kill is no longer in X-Com's vocabulary. And so, that's exactly what the X-Com Squad does.

The Squad Leader bounces up and down on top of a particularly thick and meaty Muton cock as she looks around at her subordinates with a smile on her face. The Commander is pleased with all of them, but more than that, it just feels so GOOD to be filled with alien dick. The Muton beneath her isn't exactly docile, given his thick, massive hands are wrapped around her waist and he's helping her along like she's just a fuck puppet for his cock, but the Squad Leader doesn't care.

Over to her left, one of her soldiers is being gangbanged by a group of three Sectoids. On her right, another was being plowed face first into the ground by a particularly enthusiastic Viper. From what The Squad Leader could see, the Viper in no way compared to the massive one they had back on base, nor did he compare to the Muton cock she was currently riding. But he seemed to make up for it with sheer eagerness, if the other woman's pleasured cries were anything to go by.

In front of her and behind her, her last remaining squad mates were each taking on a Muton dick of their own. Her and her Squad had ostensibly been 'ambushed', but in reality, they'd realized that the force they were facing was overwhelming and given their primary goal of capturing aliens for study… well, there'd been only one real answer to the question of how they were going to succeed in their mission.

When the Mutons and Sectoids and Viper had come for them, the X-Com Squad had laid down their weapons and began to strip on the spot, much to the delight of the aliens. What the aliens didn't know however, was that they'd all taken stamina tablets before the 'ambush'. Those, on top of the now mandatory enhancements for all X-Com Soldiers, made them quite the formidable force when it came to sex.

It would take some time, but the Squad Leader was quite sure of their eventual victory, even as she continued to ride the Muton below her for all she was worth. A couple more hours, and they'd end up with seven more prisoners for the Chief Scientist to do her thing with!

-x-X-x-

The Ethereal felt strange, piloting this new avatar. It was the latest in a long line of combat forms for its mostly psionic species, allowing them to project their mental influence in a more physical way. However, never had that been truer than this new form. The Ethereal looked more human than ever before, specifically it looked like a human female, with one added attachment. Looking down between its legs, the Ethereal reaches out and touches its new penis.

The phallus is warm to the touch and immediately jumps and begins to grow from the stimulus. The Ethereal is left with a strange feeling of desire in its groin region. It pants and licks its artificial lips as it moves towards its destination, continuing to stroke its futa member all the while. Through the Ethereal's research of the human species, they've discovered two things. First, humans invariably find their females more attractive than their males.

Most males found females to be more attractive than males and while many females were the opposite, a surprisingly large portion of the female population found females to be more attractive than males as well. Simply put, men were used for other things, while women were more often than not judged by their beauty rather than anything else.

This was the first fact they'd discovered, while the second was a bit contradictory to the first. Simply put, phallic shapes were powerful. Penises held a power to them that women could not command. For whatever reason, large phalluses were worshipped in human culture, almost as much beautiful women. So of course, when it had finally come time to make an avatar with which to interact with the human race, the Ethereals had seen fit to combine the two into one.

A woman with a cock was invariably going to be more awe inspiring, and respected than one without, or a simple man. It was why they'd given the X-Com Commander a dick of her own and she'd more than proven their theory by using her cock to bring her subordinate under her direct control. It was very inspiring.

Now here the Ethereal was, wearing its artificial futa avatar and walking towards a naked X-Com Squad. The five women had just finished exhausting a large group of alien foot soldiers. Three Mutons, three Sectoids, and one Viper all lay on the ground with their limbs in shackles as the naked women stood there conversing above them, clearly waiting for transport. They didn't seem at all concerned over the fact that they were covered in cum, but when they noticed the Ethereal's avatar approaching, they reacted with surprise.

"What the hell is that thing?!"

The Ethereal continued forward, but stopped a few feet away from the suddenly on-guard Squad.

"Greetings."

"Oh, that's just creepy. That thing is NOT human."

"Nope, but it's definitely made to look like one of us. Except for the extra equipment between the legs. What the hell do you think that's about?"

They were talking among themselves. The Ethereal felt ignored. Exerting a bit of its psionic power, the Ethereal draws one of the humans close to it. The soldier falls to her knees, mouth open and eyes vacant. The Ethereal takes its thick phallus and shoves it down the woman's throat, fucking her face right there as it and its brethren had seen many a man and even some women with fake dicks do through humanity's 'internet'.

"Gagkh! Gagkh! Gagkh!"

"Holy shit its throat-fucking Kelly!"

"Are they adapting to our tactics the same way we adapted to theirs?"

"Shit, I'm already exhausted… can we just zap this one unconscious and take it with the rest."

That seems to get a lot of nods and grunts of agreement. Before they can pull out their blocky stunning devices however, the Ethereal 'finishes' down Kelly's throat and pushes her back from its softening dick. It lifts its hands up.

"I surrender. Take me to your leader."

All five women, including the one now on the ground with cum dribbling from the corner of her mouth, stare at the Ethereal Avatar incredulously. That's when the extraction aircraft arrives. In the end, the Ethereal gets exactly what it wanted.

Vahlen was happily sucking on the Commander's cock when it happened. The crimson haired woman in charge of X-Com tensed up and her fingers curled tighter in Vahlen's hair. She assumed this meant she was about to receive a load of absolutely delicious cum, but in the end the Commander tears her away and pushes her chair back from her desk to stare down at her Chief Scientist.

"It's coming Vahlen. It's coming now. Is the chip ready?"

Eyes wide at the declaration, Vahlen can only nod as the red head gets to her feet and she joins her.

"It's ready Commander. I… I don't know for sure that it'll work. It's untested for obvious reasons. But it's as ready as it'll ever be."

The Commander lets out a shuddering breath.

"That will have to be enough. One way or the other, this ends tonight. Go Doctor. Go do your work. I will see you this evening."

Dr. Vahlen inclines her head respectfully to her superior and departs the room. The Commander is right. One way or another, with the arrival of the avatar, everything ends tonight.

-x-X-x-

The Ethereal is brought right into the middle of the X-Com Base. It would be a laughably hilarious mistake on their part, if it and its kin weren't already entrenched in the human resistance command structure. Still, with its avatar now in the depths of the X-Com facility, everything was coming to a head. It was time to finally put an end too X-Com as a 'hostile' force and bring them into the fold. With the human's organization fully under Ethereal control, there would be nothing left to stop them from taking over Earth.

For the moment though, it played along. It allowed itself to be taken along with the other alien prisoners to X-Com's labs. It allowed itself to be put into a cell and when a blonde human came by with an injection, it allowed that as well. After all, this avatar was artificial, and the Ethereal controlling it was physically far, far away. What could any injection the humans gave it possibly do to harm it? Especially when the humans themselves were no longer capable of independent thought…

Time passed and night seemed to fall, as even though the base was underground, things got quiet as a sleep cycle began. The blonde human woman was still there though, still working. The Ethereal could feel her and could tell that this one was the first. Not as precious to them as their beloved X-Com Commander, but this… 'Dr. Vahlen' was still instrumental in bringing about X-Com's defeat.

She would be useful here as well, to start the end. Reaching out to her pliable mind, the Ethereal sends a simple command. Within moments, Vahlen stands before it, eyes vacant as she opens the door to its cell. The Ethereal, still wearing the body of a futa, steps up to the scientist and smiles wickedly.

"Take me to your leader."

The Ethereal is guided through the base by Dr. Vahlen without question and with a bit of psionic work, no one stops them. Eventually, they arrive at the Commander's location. The Ethereal knows this because it can feel it through the avatar, it can feel the Commander's presence in the room beyond. X-Com's leader had become strong under Ethereal guidance. She has become so very, very powerful.

The door opens and Vahlen leads the Ethereal's avatar inside. When she does, the Commander stands from her desk and walks around it, face emotionless as she stares at the beautiful artificial form that the Ethereals have made for her. In turn, the Ethereal in control of the avatar reaches out and 'flicks a switch', to use a human phrase.

The Commander's subconscious mind takes control. The one that is obedient and loyal to the Ethereals and no one else now stands before her. The red head smiles happily and slowly begins to strip naked, even as Vahlen does the same. The Ethereal has no need to do so, as its avatar was always naked to begin with. Still, there is some arousal at the sight of the two women nude before it, and the futa member between its legs begins to grow hard and rise.

With the Commander and Vahlen under its control, the Ethereal guides its avatar forward to initiate human mating. This is what will be used to control the rest of X-Com, using the Commander as the broadcast point. The avatar and the Commander kiss, deeply and together, the two futa turn on the one true woman left in their midst. Vahlen happily submits to them, sinking to her knees and sucking them off at the same time, stroking their cocks and bobbing her head up and down one after the other.

It feels phenomenal. The Ethereal wonders if Vahlen is simply a better cocksucker then the one it face fucked back on the street. Or perhaps, allowing the human to control the pace of the blowjob could be more fun than simply fucking their throats. Either way, the Ethereal was a bit overwhelmed by the pleasure of the sex act. It almost forgot to use said pleasure to begin its plan.

In the end, it did not miss its opportunity however. As Vahlen sucked on its avatar's cock, the Ethereal reached out across the entirety of the X-Com Base. Using the Commander and her Chief Scientist, the Ethereal fed pleasure and arousal and desire into every last woman in X-Com. The orgy began almost immediately and with another thought, the multitude of alien prisoners that had been captured by X-Com in recent weeks was released by horny, lust-filled scientists.

All across the base, human women fell to their own base desires, either laying with each other or being fucked and plowed and railed by alien dicks. Mutons and Sectoids and Thin Men and Vipers ran rampant throughout the base. The Viper King stayed in his little habitat even once the doors opened, but that was mostly because the women were coming to HIM, presenting themselves to be fucked and filled with cum.

The Ethereal was so focused on this, the final victory, that it failed to notice what was happening to it through its avatar. Physically, the blowjob continued unabated. Psionically however, the biochip that had been installed in the avatar body earlier by Vahlen had already started to go to work. The Commander was not quite as brainwashed and controlled as the Ethereals thought.

Humanity was not quite as defeated as they believed either. The biochip that Vahlen had managed to implant did one thing and one thing only. It made the avatar feel all the same things the Commander did. It added the Ethereal's avatar to the network as SUBORDINATE to the crimson haired X-Com Commander. Just like the rest of X-Com's mental links were subordinate to the Commander's 'admin' access, now so too was the avatar.

The feedback loop had started almost immediately, but with the Ethereal's focus on creating an orgy of X-Com and alien prisoners, it didn't truly notice anything was wrong. Not until it suddenly found itself kneeling behind Dr. Vahlen, fucking her in the cunt even as the red-haired Commander in turn fucked its avatar in its own pussy. Stuck in the middle of the two humans like this, forced to thrust forward each time X-Com's leader thrust into it from behind, the Ethereal began to feel a strange psionic presence.

Hello there, you alien bastard. Did you think it would be that easy?

The Commander's 'voice' rings through the Ethereal's mind and if it had eyes, it would no doubt be widening them in shock in that moment. Using the X-Com Commander as the focal point of the network has proven to be a mistake. With the Ethereal now hooked into X-Com's mental link, the Commander is becoming something more, feeding off of its power.

The Ethereal tries to pull back and disconnect from its avatar body, even as said body is constantly beset by the pleasure of fucking and being fucked, combined with the pleasure of hundreds of human women as they're fucked by aliens across X-Com's base. It cannot disconnect, the Commander won't let it. And a moment later, the X-Com Commander has grown powerful enough to reach out and control the escaped alien prisoners all over the base as well, Viper King included.

She doesn't stop them from doing what they're already doing however. Now in complete control of the situation, the red head accelerates things dramatically and adds the pleasure of the male aliens to the feedback loop as well. The Ethereal was already feeling overwhelmed. Now it drowns in the pleasure as the Commander's Willpower drags it kicking and screaming to her metaphorical breast.

A bond of sorts forms, with the Commander in control. Using the Ethereal, the Commander fully ascends into what is essentially an Ethereal herself, or at least one close enough that it does not matter. Abruptly, every Ethereal in the Collective feels her presence. Abruptly, every Ethereal in the Collective knows the pleasure that a human woman controlling several hundred bodies in a constant nonstop orgy can create.

The Ethereals are not sexual beings. They are unprepared for a psionic spike of pure lust to be driven into each and every one of their minds. The X-Com Commander tears control of the Collective away from itself, all while the Ethereal its bonded to hangs on for dear life, like a human strapped to the outside of a rocket swiftly rising into space.

For a moment, humanity is saved. The Ethereals are under the Commander's control which in turn puts ALL of the alien menace under her control. X-Com's leader can end it right then and there, she can save the Earth from the aliens occupying it.

… She doesn't. Regardless of how strong her mind is, the Ethereals have still managed to twist her just enough. The Commander no longer wants to save humanity so that it can return to excess and gluttony and warring amongst itself. She no longer wants to allow things too to return to the status quo. Hell, she shudders what to think humankind will do if the aliens are soundly defeated, yet all their technology remains. The red head knows that the Earth won't survive a world war fought over alien tech WITH alien tech.

Best to take control of the humans, while she's at it. The Ethereal Commander reaches out mentally, all the while there's a smile on her lips and she's continuing to fuck the avatar of the Ethereal who's made all of this possible. X-Com's Commander reaches out across the Earth and feels everything. The Ethereals were playing with them in the end. Their strength, their reach… it might as well be endless. The Collective, when working together as she's forcing it to now, can feel every human mind on the planet Earth.

Taking out the malcontents and anyone who knows about X-Com the world over is child's play for what the Commander has become. Victory comes swiftly and silently and the majority of the world has no idea that they just lost their last chance at freedom. Instead, much of Earth's population suddenly feels quite horny. It's not the same "drop everything and fuck now" sensation that everyone in the X-Com base is feeling, but it's definitely there.

The arousal grows and grows and humanity turns to one another and fucks. Those with loved ones have sex with their significant others. Those without find an acceptable partner and have sex with them. Many pair off, but more than a few orgies spring up in crowded places all over Earth. The entire world is quite literally fucking and the Commander feels ALL of it. It is glorious and she cries out in ecstasy as she cums deep inside of the avatar's cunt, prompting it in turn to cum inside of Vahlen, which of course leads to the slutty blonde scientist climaxing as well.

The Commander pulls free of the Ethereal's avatar and pushes the artificial construct to the side. Vahlen turns around and stays on her knees as she stares in awe at what the red head has become.

"I did it Doctor. WE did it."

"Y-you're glowing Commander. All over, you're glowing. I think… I think your eyes are gone, they're just shards of white light now. Your skin is cracking too."

The red head stares down at herself and sees what Vahlen means. Her human body can no longer contain her psionic capacity and her soul has grown beyond what any biological form was meant to hold. She is quite literally bursting at the seams.

"No matter, my pet. I trust you will build me a replacement."

Vahlen nods up and down, eyes wide at the idea and the trust that the Commander is placing on her. The X-Com Commander smiles down at the blonde scientist, having complete faith in her capabilities. Then she gasps and throws her head back as a cry of ecstasy leaves her lips. Her body explodes outwards, but it is merely the shell that she's been shedding for quite a while now.

Beneath it, the Commander's form remains relatively intact, though now it is made out of pure psionic energy, her red locks glowing brightly and floating above her head, defying gravity as her entire body does the same. The Commander once again looks at herself and once again smiles.

"This will suffice for now. We have a lot of work to do."

Vahlen bows her head towards her superior. And never before has that word been truer than now. The blonde scientist has never been religious… but she imagines if God did exist, this is what he, or in the Commander's case, she would look like. And that actually made Vahlen feel a bit better about the idea. She could definitely get behind a Goddess crafted from science. She would follow the Commander to the end of the Galaxy if need be.

X-Com had defeated the alien threat, in a rather… roundabout way. It had then gone on to conquer the Earth. Not exactly what it was meant to do… but when you fuck with humanity, you're bound to get strange results.

-x-X-x-

She had once been the Commander of an organization called X-Com. A human woman with a brilliant mind for strategy, she'd been handpicked to lead the fight against the alien menace that plagued their world. That had only been a few years ago, but it felt like an eternity at this point. She was so much more now. She was beyond human, beyond a petty title like Commander.

They called her Empress, the humans, the aliens, even the Collective of Ethereals that gave her guidance. The Empress held control, but she did not silence independent thought as the Collective had done before her ascension. She ruled humanity and aliens alike with a fair, firm hand and humans and aliens alike lived in harmony with one another as a result.

She'd called her new Empire ADVENT. She'd stolen it from the Collective, but they'd been happy to have her use it in the end anyways. And truly, it fit perfectly with what had come to pass. Humanity's future had arrived. The ADVENT had come and she had come with it. Even though she technically no longer has lips, the Empress smiles anyways.

Down on Earth in an opulent palace, the lips of her avatar curl into a smile as well and her fingers grip at a familiar blonde head of hair as she speaks.

"Vahlen."

The scientist is completely naked, her full lips wrapped around the futa shaft that the Empress' avatar sports. When the Empress speaks, Vahlen pulls back and looks up at her questioningly, love and devotion in her eyes. Without the blonde, much of the ADVENT would not be possible. The gene mods that she personally created for X-Com are now common place all over Earth, giving humans the ability to stand toe to toe with their new alien neighbors, so that they do not feel quite so second-class in physical ability.

"Yes, my Empress?"

"It is time. You have served well. Now you must ascend to lead by my side."

A brilliant smile crosses Vahlen's face and then she feels it. The Empress now spans the entirety of Earth with her psionic presence and for a human mind, even one enhanced like Vahlen's, to be wrapped in that sort of presence was awe-inspiring and more than a little terrified. Vahlen is not fearful though, in fact she's ecstatic as the Empress takes hold of her soul and begins to pump her essence directly into Vahlen.

It's just as lewd and intimate as it sounds. Vahlen's body glows brightly even as it falls back on the floor of the palace and begins to spasm and shake from orgasm after orgasm. The blonde ascends in this euphoric state of pleasure and arousal, and she is reborn as a Human-Ethereal, much like the Empress though on a far smaller scale. Her presence, once she 'stands' among the other psionics, most notably the Collective that advises the Empress, is equal to any one of the Ethereals that make said Collective up.

Welcome Vahlen of Earth. We have longed for your presence.

Vahlen is a bit surprised at that, even as she feels the Empress' amusement. Why would the Ethereals LONG for her to join them? Weren't they all pretty racist until the Empress' ascension?

"I told them they couldn't use any avatars for sex until you joined us. Amusingly enough, this swayed the majority of them over to welcoming you with open arms quite swiftly."

… Yes. Well… when do you think we can begin creating our new bodies? Many of us have been bombarded with the lustful desires of your human species for quite some time now. It is unbearable, being unable to partake in the activities these lustful desires usually provoke.

A wide, metaphorical grin spreads across Vahlen's 'face'.

"Oh, I can definitely help with that."

And if in the end, each and every Ethereal ends up with a futa human woman as their avatar, well, they don't complain about it too much.
