The Baby as a Prison for the Beast

Kintsugi stared at the ceiling as he sat on a couch in a capsule hotel, toking and exhaling smoke. With his legs wide open, an Octophod knelt before him worshipping his cyclopean masculinity.

To Kintsugi, Planet Octagonia 87, home to the purple tentacle-haired Octophods, was known for its women skilled in oral sex. The creatures on this planet are highly amorous, and they seem to mate indiscriminately.

Kintsugi's wife, Sophie, was very conservative, preferring only softcore intimacy and avoiding anything hardcore. Because he loved her, he accommodated her wishes, but sometimes he missed being wild and raunchy in bed.

Sometimes, to fulfill his needs, he just satisfies his fantasy by humping a bolster, or else he self-stimulate while videoing himself and sells it expensively to nymphomaniacs or closeted wealthy homosexuals.

''Go on, take it deeper! Just like that.'' Kintsugi was thoroughly enjoying what the Octophod was doing, and just as he was nearing climax, his panel suddenly appeared

MISSION

- Proceed to planet Buliomec 15 and seal the creature known as Blackburn within the body of the infant named Beluga.

•••

Kintsugi softly cursed, and despite the Octophod's desire for another round and his own swollen manhood, Kintsugi couldn't accommodate it anymore.

After returning to the Upper Echelon, he immediately took a shower. The water in the academy still felt different - its chill was incredibly soothing to the skin. He wanted to feel buoyant for his next mission.

When he stepped out of his chamber, he was immediately greeted by a crowd of female trainees who couldn't contain their excitement at seeing him. Despite the ear-piercing screams, he just smirked.

''Disperse from my sight!'' Lotuslush snapped at the women, who were still gazing adoringly at Kintsugi with hearts in their eyes.

''Don't be so harsh on them. They're not bothering you,'' Kintsugi said in a comedic tone.

''Whenever I come out, they block my way. Sometimes it delays my schedule. These trainees should be banned from loitering in the Larkansas building.''

"Don't worry, starting tomorrow, the only woman I'll be seeing after I leave my chamber will be you." Kintsugi winked at Lotuslush before heading to the Lobby of Doors.

Lotuslush felt a flush rise to her cheeks, but she pushed away the idea of being won over by Kintsugi's charming gestures.

Planet: Buliomec 15

Location: Bukaru Village

This place, situated in the midst of a dense forest, is home to the elusive Bostaurus. The Bostaurus in this area are trained to be stealthy warriors. They are known for their muscular build, strength, and prominent physical features. They have horns that can vary in size and shape depending on their status.

•••

Kintsugi was at the back of an ancestral stone house when he heard the wail of a Bostaurus in labor. While on stealth mode, he peeked through the window to see what was happening inside the house.

Under the light from the lamp, he saw a whimpering baby being held by a birth attendant. The mother was overjoyed to see her firstborn child. She held the baby and, while crying tears of joy, even gave it a gentle kiss.

"Your name is Beluga."

This name is a tribute to the child's grandfather, who was the first chieftain of Bukaru Village.

This baby was his mission, but Kintsugi wanted to know first what was special about this baby that made it worth saving.

Suddenly, he felt a strong vibration in his pulse. The baby was emitting a strange Musk. The smoke emanating from its skin was red with spicy notes.

Blazing boulders suddenly rained down from the fiery sky, causing earthquakes and destruction to the houses. This disrupted the peaceful sleep of the Bostaurus in their homes. In an instant, widespread fires engulfed the village of Bukaru.

"He's arrived, Taurusa," said the trembling birth attendant, looking out the window at the apocalyptic scene unfolding outside. Taurusa held her newborn child tightly.

Amidst the unfolding tragedy, the Omendwellers – Bostaurus skilled in combat and elemental manipulation – scattered around the area. As protectors of this world, they employed water manipulation techniques to extinguish the flames.

Kintsugi sensed a potent Musk incoming. Kintsugi grasped his dagger as a massive beast wrapped in amoled black flames appeared. The beast had three key-shaped horns on its head and ten tails that lashed like whips. Its voice was ear-piercingly loud. The women inside the house screamed in terror.

"Don't let the Blackburn reach the chieftain's child!" an Omendweller warned his companions.

The beast, known as the Blackburn, possessed extraordinary strength and stretchable arms. Just as it was about to strike the house where the baby Beluga was squealing, it was hit by a bolt of lightning.

As the Omendwellers battled the inferno, their morale soared with the arrival of their chieftain, Taurence. Clad in his iconic cloak, jacket, and forehead protector – emblems of his esteemed position – he exuded authority and strength, his commanding presence inspiring his people.

However, Taurence's arrival enraged the Blackburn. The beast growled, uprooting houses and establishments, and anyone caught in its echo was knocked off balance.

The creature rampaged, striking its surroundings with its smoldering palms. It attacked Taurence, who summoned a wooden chain to bind the Blackburn, but the beast broke free and pummeled him.

The Omendwellers were horrified as they watched the Blackburn bury their chieftain underground, encased in black flames.

"Is this the end for us?" a terrified Omendweller cried, while others fell to their knees in hopelessness.

The fires intensified, giving birth to miniature versions of the Blackburn – orange in color and mischievous in movement. These smaller creatures harassed the Omendwellers.

The Blackburn destroyed the house, burning the Bostaurus one by one, sparing only Taurusa and her baby. Just as the beast was about to snatch the mother and child, Kintsugi intervened. With his Titan Bodybuilder Form, he matched the Blackburn's height.

"I won't let you harm this child," Kintsugi declared, his voice firm and resolute. The tide had turned – from demolition to protection.

The Bostaurus watched in awe as this enigmatic figure emerged to save them. Kintsugi's Titan Bodybuilder Form unleashed unbridled fury, allowing him to overpower the beast with sheer strength.

He pummeled the creature, unleashing a flurry of strikes. Yet, the Blackburn refused to yield, rising again to unleash a swarm of miniature versions of itself, overwhelming Kintsugi.

Kintsugi's movements were severely restricted as the Blackburn's fiery tails wrapped around him, searing his skin with painful burns. He thrashed about, but escape seemed impossible.

"Fuck!" he snarled, his frustration boiling over.

Just then, the earth shook violently, and Taurence burst forth, his injuries severe but his poise unwavering. With a majestic gesture, Taurence lifted his arms toward the sky, summoning a tempest. The clouds congregated, unleashing a colossal lightning bolt that illuminated the darkened landscape.

A massive explosion blinded everyone, freeing Kintsugi from the tails that bound him. Taurence, exhausted from executing his technique, gasped for breath. Despite the blast, the Blackburn remained standing, its miniature versions floating around it.

"This beast is on a whole different level," Kintsugi muttered, his brow furrowed.

Taurence's words caught Kintsugi's attention: "The Blackburn's hibernation was disrupted by the birth of my child." Kintsugi's ears perked up as Taurence continued, "The Blackburn is a powerful beast, a threat to our world. My wife, Taurusa, was born to be its prison. My father sacrificed his life to seal the beast within her. At first, their relationship was strained, but over time, they grew to understand each other. The beast hibernated, and for 23 years, our village enjoyed harmony. However, when Taurusa became pregnant, the beast awoke and escaped. Now that our son is born, it's returned, seeking to kill him."

The Blackburn's instincts drove it to escape its confinement once more, fueled by its innate desire for freedom and chaos. With Beluga's birth, the beast sensed a new potential prison and would stop at nothing to eliminate the child, ensuring its own freedom.

Meanwhile, Taurusa, now in the Blackburn's grasp, pleaded with her former friend to stop the rampage, but the beast no longer recognized her, having lost its sanity.

Kintsugi and Taurence were alarmed to realize that the miniature Blackburns had captured Taurusa and the child. Kintsugi's fists clenched at the sight, determined not to fail in his mission.

"We need to seal the Blackburn inside your child," Kintsugi suggested, but Taurence disagreed.

"My child can't handle the consequences."

"What would happen to him?" Kintsugi asked.

"The Blackburn's influence would turn him into a catalyst for chaos. I refuse to let my child be ostracized or hated because of this. Sealing it in Taurusa again won't work – she'd only grow accustomed to its presence. My solution is to eliminate the Blackburn once and for all, ensuring it can't disrupt our lives further."

Upon hearing this, Kintsugi considered sealing the beast within himself, but he knew acquiring powers from another planet would come with a virus, glitching his system and making inter-universal travel difficult.

Kintsugi's expression turned skeptical. To him, Taurence's displayed principles were admirable. As a father, Taurence would do whatever was best for his child. He fought against the Blackburn, but despite his strength and determination, it was impossible to defeat the monster.

Kintsugi refused to intervene or help Taurence, choosing instead to let him face the challenge alone. When the creature unleashed a nuclear-like explosion, Taurence couldn't withstand it and lay lifeless on the ground.

"You showed remarkable courage, my friend,'' Kintsugi remarked, gently lifting Taurence's lifeless form. He bore the weight of his companion's body, carrying him to a secure refuge where the remaining Bostaurus had fled.

Kintsugi blew on his thumb again. As he did, his muscles bulged further. He channeled the Titan Bodybuilder Form once more, taking down the miniature Blackburns one by one with his wrestling moves.

A powerful punch landed on the Blackburn's jawline, rendering it unconscious. However, Kintsugi knew it would only be temporary. Taurusa entrusted Kintsugi with her child's fate. Though she agreed with her husband Taurence, it seemed better to seal the beast within their child, Beluga.

Using a stiletto, Kintsugi cut off his right ring finger and used it as a pen. The flowing blood served as ink as he inscribed ancient symbols in the air, transforming the ground into a chessboard. Beluga floated above, crying, as his stomach glowed, forming an opening.

The chess pieces, particularly the knights, collaborated to lift Blackburn's unconscious body. Under the King's command and the Queen's guidance, they hurled the struggling Blackburn into the portal emanating from the stomach of the infant Beluga.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

REWARD: + 1 CHEST OF BEJEWELED BARS

After sealing the beast, Kintsugi immediately returned the child to its mother.

"Don't neglect your son."

The child had a gentle appearance, seeming like a good and obedient boy.

Before leaving, Kintsugi ensured Beluga was in good condition. The child's stomach bore the symbol of a keyhole, and whatever fate awaited him in the coming hours was no longer his concern.
