We Can Survive

They were surprised to see Mito standing at the door. With him were Ditta, Hibiki and Pai. Duero and Parfait quickly covered themselves up with the sheets.
"Uh-oh. Sorry to bother you. Let's go, guys." Mito attempted to get Hibiki and Ditta out of there, but they wanted to stay.
"What the hell are you doing, Doc?" Hibiki said.
"It's a very intimate thing that we should not be interrupting them about. Come on, we should wait outside." Mito said. He pulled on the arms of Ditta and Hibiki, but they wouldn't budge.
"Are we going to do that sometime?" Ditta asked.
"Come on, we should leave them." Mito said with a lot of annoyance in his voice. He then pulled Hibiki and Ditta away.
"That looked silly and painful." Pai said, moving the mouth of her puppet as she said this. Mito reentered and pulled her away from them.
"Leave them alone now." Mito said.
Duero and Parfait were very confused.
"What... what happens now?" Parfait asked.
"Erm... I don't know." Duero replied.
Nearby, Mito talked to Ditta, Hibiki and Pai.
"Hey, why wouldn't you let us watch that?" Ditta asked.
"Sex is a private thing. People shouldn't be watching it." Mito said. "Although I have to admit that I thought the doctor was nowhere near ready for it."
"Well, you talked about it; it's your fault for getting them curious." Pai noted.
"Yea. I know. But there's one important thing I left out - she may become pregnant now." Mito said.
The others were horrified at this.
"You mean... sex leads to pregnancy?" Dita asked.
"Yea. I should have told you earlier. I'm sorry I didn't." Mito said.
"She's gonna kick your ass when she finds this out." Pai said.
"Yea. However, I can't really do anything except tell them the truth." Mito said.
Mito was outside the infirmary. He was very nervous.
"Doctor, Parfait, I have to tell you something." Mito said.
Now dressed, they opened the door. Mito sweatdropped.
"What is it?" Duero asked.
"Well, I left out an important detail about sex. You see... well... there's a chance she could become pregnant." Mito said.
The doctor and Parfait were too stunned to respond.
"Pregnant? But I thought the only way to get pregnant was through the omai process." Parfait said.
"Well, that's the way humans evolved. I know I forgot to tell you this, and I'm sorry I didn't." Mito said.
"So are there any signs of being pregnant?" Parfait asked.
"Next morning, you'll feel pretty sick. That's usually the first sign. Then several days later, you'll start getting cravings for food, sometimes in weird combinations." Mito said. "Doc here should be able to test you to see if you've gotten pregnant."
"I'm curious about one thing, though. If she does get pregnant, will the offspring be a boy or a girl?" Duero asked.
"It's a random thing. The DNA of the sperm that inseminated her is the determining factor. You've got roughly a 50-50 chance of it being a boy or a girl." Mito said.
"I see." Duero replied.
"Well, I wish you two the best." Mito said as he left.
"Wow... I may be the first woman from Mejia to give birth where the omai was a man." Parfait said.
"Well, I'll be the first omai from Tarek." Duero replied.
"But is it a step we should take?" Parfait asked.
"Whatever happens, I'm sure everyone will be supportive." Duero replied. "I will support your decision in this."
Sure enough, the next day, Parfait came in, sick as a dog. She had vomited twice before coming in, both times on the way to the infirmary. Duero examined her and told her she was pregnant.
"Oh.... I'm going to be a mother..." Parfait said, stunned.
Duero held Parfait's hand.
"This is an important historical event in the history of our planets." Duero said.
"Yea...." Parfait replied.
Later they made the announcement on the bridge. Most everyone was stunned.
"A man got a woman pregnant? I didn't think that was possible." Ezra said.
"We've decided that we're going to let the baby grow and I will carry it to birth." Parfait said.
"Well, congratulations. This should prove very interesting." The captain said.
Two weeks later, the Nirvana arrived at the asteroid belt just outside our galaxy. Waiting for them were three mother ships, poised to attack. The vans and dreads were scrambled and launched.
Unlike before, these were the latest things Earth had to offer. The vans and dreads stood no chance against them. Mito and Meia quickly combined as did Ditta and Hibiki. The Vandreads had some luck, but only with the small, unmanned drones. They decided to combine the Vandreads into one large super Vandread. This larger spacecraft had more luck, and managed to knock one of the motherships into another before being knocked apart. Hibiki, Ditta, Meia and Mito screamed in pain as they were forcefully separated by a blast from the third earth mothership.
"Damn! They managed to separate us!" Meia said.
"How the hell did they do that!?" Hibiki asked.
"Can we try reforming?" Mito asked.
"It looks like I can." Meia said.
The two of them joined up together, but were surrounded by drones. This, however, allowed Ditta and Hibiki to reform. The two of them managed to reduce the number of drones a bit before returning to the super Vandread form. This form managed to destroy the final mothership.
Arriving home, everyone reported to the captain. The seemed to be no other resistance until they would get to earth. Thus, the Nirvana went unchallenged towards the Earth.
"I can't help think that this is a trap." BC said.
"I agree, but we did vote to come here." The captain replied.
The earth looked like a metal ball hanging in the sky, orbiting the sun. Here and there were holes where the surface could be seen. It looked stormy and inhospitable.
"That's ... earth?" Bart asked, seeing this on a monitor.
"This is weird. I show no life signs." Ezra said as she scanned the place.
A harvester ship appeared and went towards Earth. It wanted to land on the surface through one of the holes, but before it got there, the ship was struck by lightning and exploded.
"Whoa..." Bart said as he steered the Nirvana away from the explosion.
"Send a squad to the metal hull covering the planet." The captain ordered.
"Aye aye, captain." Ezra responded.
Among the selected were Hibiki, Ditta, Meia, Jura, Duero, Parfait, Mito and Gascone. They were outfitted with rubber suits.
"Why do we need this?" Hibiki asked.
"The metal part has an estimated 25,000,000 kilowatts of power coursing through all parts of it. Step out of the protective suit and you'll be fried man." Gascone said.
"Oh, o.k." Hibiki said.
They went in a shuttle that Meia and Mito piloted.
"We can't land directly on the surface. We'll have to hover at about six inches while you disembark. It's going to be dangerous. Mito and I will have to stay here." Meia said.
"We can handle it." Mito said.
"We'll see what's going on now." Hibiki said.
They came close and exited the ship. After finding an air lock, they went inside. The place was brightly lit by all the energy passing through it. The team made its way down a corridor and to a control room. They saw a tape playing in a continuous loop. The young blonde male there looked an unshaven mess.
"To those of you who find this, welcome. We of Earth hope you will rebuild this place. Many years ago, we humans sent out ships to colonize other worlds. A few years later, Earth began to die. We had ruined the planet through pollution and ignorance. However, Earth can heal itself. Our scientists estimate that it will take 15,000 years to heal itself. Once that happens, we will send out ships asking people to return to the home of their ancestors. We are glad that you have answered this call. It is a completely new planet - please don't repeat our mistakes. Take care of it." The man said over and over.
"This is the reason so many people died!? A malfunctioning computer!? Hibiki said in anger.
"It would seem so. Shutting it off is impossible, so we'll have to destroy it from the Nirvana." Duero said.
"Damn it! This isn't fair! There should have been someone here!" Hibiki shouted.
"Come on, let's go. You can fire the shot that destroys this place." Ditta said.
They went back to the shuttle and then to the Nirvana. Hibiki was given the duty of shooting down the computer, which he did. After he finished, he went to Ditta's room where she was waiting for him. She had a piece of rubber that was cylindrical in shape, and closed at one end. Ditta then suggested that they make love.
"What? Have a kid with you!?" Hibiki asked in disbelief.
"Mito said if you put this on your cock, I won't get pregnant." Ditta said.
"That looks incredibly silly." Hibiki said. Ditta put an arm around Hibiki and caressed his chest.
"C'mon... for me?" Ditta said in a sexy voice.
"Well..." Hibiki softened his position a bit. "I don't know..." Ditta responded by kissing him. When they parted lips, Hibiki lowered his head.
"O.k., I'll do it." He said.
They undressed and saw each other naked for the first time. Ditta took Hibiki's cock and caressed it gently. Hibiki smiled as she did this. Ditta then slipped the condom over his stiffening shaft and then guided it to her eager snatch.
Neither of them was able to stand up, and so they fell on the bed. Ditta moaned softly into Hibiki's ear as he started going back and forth.
"Mmm... this feels sooooooooooooo goooooood." Ditta moaned.
"Hey, it does feel good." Hibiki said.
"Yesssssssssssss..." Ditta moaned. They fucked long and hard. Hibiki realized that girls weren't so bad after all. Just when he thought he couldn't go further, Hibiki came into the condom he wore. Ditta climaxed shortly thereafter.
They collapsed next to each other, exhausted but elated. Hibiki and Ditta put an arm around each other. They stared into each other's eyes.
"We seemed to have made a big wet spot in the bed." Hibiki said.
"Yea and the smell is horrible. I guess we'll have to sleep in your bed tonight." Ditta said.
Three days later over in the baths, Meia was preparing to bathe. Mito entered the place, holding a robe, a towel, a condom and smiling.
"Uh-oh. I know that look. You want something from me." Meia said.
"I'd like to bathe with you." Mito replied.
"I don't know about that..." Meia said.
Mito responded by caressing Meia's shoulders. Meia felt a surge of warmth and love.
"Come on, I'll wash your back." Mito said.
"Well..." Meia said. Mito responded by gently kissing her neck.
"I... well..." Meia said as she smiled. "Damn you."
"Relax, Meia. You are in control here; I'm just voicing what you want." Mito said.
They undressed and entered the water together. Meia looked a bit confused.
"Meia darling, what's wrong?" Mito asked.
"Well, Ditta told me that Hibiki's cock was about 20 cm long. Yours looks a lot smaller than that. I'd say you're around 15 cm." Meia said. Mito sweatdropped.
"Erm... well... the men of Tarek were genetically bred to have long cocks. My people were bred for our minds." Mito said. "Besides, the average female vagina is only about 10 cm deep. A 15 cm cock would work just as well as a 20 cm cock." Mito said.
"Uh-huh. You're lying." Meia said.
"Relax, Meia. Most of the pleasure of love is mental and spiritual in nature." Mito replied. He soaped up his hands and started running them over Meia's lithe, athletic frame. She smiled slightly at this.
"Hmm.... well, it does feel good to have you touch me; I'll give you that..." She said as she soaped up her hands. She then started running her hands over his muscular body as well. They caressed each other with soapy hands and felt wonderful doing it. Meia seemed to like caressing Mito's stiff rod.
"So that's what a cock feels like... interesting..." Meia said. Mito caressed Meia's tight snatch. Meia couldn't help but moan. She started toying with the idea of letting him inside. He ran his soapy hands over her tight body, lingering very slowly on her luscious tits and curvaceous ass. She lingered slowly on his buns of steel and hard cock as well. After a little of this, Mito sat Meia on the side of the tub. Then he proceeded to give her oral.
"What are you doing? That feels... sooooooo good." Meia moaned. She continued to moan as Mito licked her snatch and went deep inside her. After a while, he stood up and offered her his boner to suck on. She wasn't sure what to do at first, but he told her what to do. It wasn't the greatest blowjob ever, but it served to drive him wild. Meia blew him for a while. Then they slid back into the tub. Meia slipped the condom on him, and then Mito then shoved his meat into her locker.
Meia gasped as Mito started going back and forth inside her.
"Ooh... this feels wonderful." Meia moaned as Mito fucked her. Meia never knew that something could feel this good. She had never really experienced love before meeting Mito. They fucked each other long and hard, going slowly and savoring the joy of sex. Just when both of them thought they couldn't take anymore, Mito came hard into the condom he wore as Meia climaxed. Meia let out a loud, sharp gasp as she achieved her orgasmic pleasure.
The two of them rested in the tub and held each other close.
"Mmm... I never knew that something could be this wonderful." Meia said. "Meia, I feel the best I've ever felt in my life. I can't thank you enough for this." Mito said.
"I now have something I never had before... a place where I feel safe. That place is with you." Meia said. They rested for a bit and reaffirmed their love for each other.
"There's one thing I wonder about, however. Usually the first time for a woman is painful as it involves a lot of cramping. You didn't seem to experience this." Mito noted.
"That's probably due to the bunetsu." Meia replied. "When a woman turns 18 on Mejia, she must donate an egg. This involves a rod placed in the vagina to induce paroshun. It's very painful and a lot of blood is spilled."
"Hmm... well... that would explain things." Mito said.
Three months later, The Nirvana was nearing its home galaxy. Duero finished examining Parfait in the infirmary.
"Well, the tests show that our child will be a girl." Duero said.
"You know, we haven't decided what to call her." Parfait said.
"What would you like to call her?" Duero asked.
"Hope." Parfait replied. "She will symbolize the hope that men and women can live together."
"That sounds like a good name to me." Duero said. "We should tell the others."
Announcements were made and everyone was happy for them.
It took them another three weeks to reach home; when they did, they explained to everyone what happened to the high commands of Tarek and Mejia.
"That is a letdown. However, we owe the Nirvana and its crew a debt of gratitude." The grand Pa said. They had a small parade on Tarek and a celebration on Mejia for this. Duero and Parfait also announced that she was pregnant by him and the girl would be named Hope. People seemed stunned at first, and a few protested this, but that didn't last long.
Shortly after Hope was born, the crew of the Nirvana was out again. They wanted to contact other worlds, and let them know what had happened to earth.
That, however, is another story entirely...
-End-

A/N: I'm not 100% happy with this story, but I couldn't get more people to beta it than just my primary one. I will revise it based on other's suggestions.
