Overheated Ctarl

Ending the Dispute

Jim crossed his arms, looking at the docked ship that he would be working on today. He looked at his wrist chronometer and saw that his Ctarl engineer was five minutes away from being late. He heard, then saw the rest of his team that he had recruited for this particular job.

"Any one of you seen our Ctarl?" Jim asked and the collection of humans shook their heads, said no, or shrugged their shoulders helplessly.

Strange," Jim commented to himself, "get to work, I'll go see if I can find her."

Jim took off at a brisk pace. For someone like his second, this behavior of being late was uncharacteristic. So, something was probably off and Jim was going to find out.

"Bastard!"

"Now my dear Aisha, you only have yourself to blame," her contractual husband said to Aisha, who was shackled to a wall of an empty cargo bay.

"When I break out of..." Aisha growled threateningly, but the male stopped her.

"I wouldn't do that, you might rip that wall out and cause a hull breech," he warned and Aisha's eyes widened.

Now, for you," the male said, turning to his sister who was bound in metal stocks. "Father told me to punish you and 500 lashes should do for a start. Then, you will resign from the Ctarl-Ctarl core of engineers and go home. You'll be a house servant until father can contract you on the new marriage contract black market."

The male Ctarl had captured his sister in her sleep. As for Aisha, it had been more of a struggle, but a Ctarl sleeping drug had helped him. He smirked and cracked the whip and began to whip the naked bound Ctarl female.

"Jim!"

"Suzuka?"

"Security's lost track of Aisha..." the assassin began.

"What?"

"Last report said she was near cargo hole 27, but you and I both know that cargo 27 is a blind spot of the security sensors and security teams rarely go down there."

"Have you been able to reach her on her com-link?" Jim asked, hoping that the worst wasn't about to be said.

"Her com-link was found two decks above cargo hole 27," Suzuka said and Jim punched the wall.

"I'm going down there," Jim growled.

"Be careful, I'll see if I can't round up some back up for you," she called to Jim who ran down the length of the corridor to the elevator.

"You know, it takes ten times more lashings for Ctarl flesh to start bruising than human flesh," the male Ctarl began, "Now, my dear Zyrashia, I give you a temporary reprieve while I implant my seed into Aisha."

"Don't you fucking dare!" Aisha growled.

"Oh, but I will, and I'll make sure you have my child. Once that occurs, you, by honor, cannot continue to claim that human as your mate. You will have to be mine," he growled.

"Ass hole! I'll kill you!" Aisha threatened.

"Oh please, all this drama is giving me a head ache," the male Ctarl said and prepared to strip himself. However, someone tackled him from behind him and started trying to rip his ear off by the teeth.

"I'm going to rip your fucking ear off!" Jim snarled through a mouth full of the Ctarl's ear.

"Human," he hissed and tried to shake Jim off of his back, but the terran had a death grip on his back and ear.

"Jim!" Aisha shouted, proud and yet afraid for her mate's safety.

Finally, the male Ctarl was able to get Jim off of him by smashing him against a wall, hard, making the blond drop to the floor.

"I must say, you are brave, if not stupid," the Ctarl said, now regaining his composure, but then quickly lost it when Jim's foot and his groin tried to occupy the same space at the same time. The Ctarl doubled over in pain.

"That ought to keep your dick out of other people's mates," Jim growled.

"You didn't mark her you dumb ass," the Ctarl growled. He smirked and his claws came out. Here, let me show you what is behind this wall," he said and he cut out a large circle of the metal wall. Jim's eyes widened, feeling the room start to de-pressurize.

"What the fuck are you doing!?" Jim asked but the male Ctarl just finished breaching the hull and ran out of the cargo hole.

""Yellow alert," the voice of the computer chirped out.

"Computer, how the fuck can you have a yellow alert with no Sith around?" the Ctarl general barked.

"Hull breach has been detected in cargo hole 27," the computer reported.

"Tech teams, security, get down there, now!" the Ctarl general barked. His human counterpart came out of his office to hear that.

"Problem?"

"Hole in cargo hole 27, that might be a problem," the Ctarl general said and the human sighed. What now?

888

'Shit!' Jim thought as he frantically looked for something to plug the hole. Finding a thin, square piece of metal that appeared to be of the right size, Jim grabbed it and struggled to place it over the hole. His lungs were burning and his ribs felt as if they were all bruised. Getting the sheet metal in place, he pulled out a small wielding device and one second before he passed out, Jim fixed the breach, for now.

"Grrr!" Aisha growled. She calmed herself and tried to use only enough strength to break the chains from the wall. Once she had freed one arm, she used it to slice through the chains holding her other arm. She then freed Zyrashia and the two Ctarl females both bent over Jim to check him. Work teams and security poured into the room.

"You're late!" Aisha hissed and lifted her mate up into her arms.

"Who did this?" Suzuka asked.

"My so-called contractual husband," Aisha answered.

"My brother," Zyrashia added.

"Get him to the medical bay," Suzuka said and with a look from Aisha telling the assassin that she didn't to say that, the two Ctarls ran out, not bothering to notice that they were both naked.

He continued to slump around the station. He knew that they would have a hard time finding him. Then, someone tapped him on the shoulder he turned and there stood the Ctarl general.

"You may be able to fool the sensors, but my nose is the sharpest in the fleet, bastard. You look like someone tried to eat your ear," the Ctarl general said and his claws came out.

"You wouldn't dare," the other Ctarl said.

"The only thing that can save your ass is my brother, and he ain't here!"

"We will not let the old ways die!" the Ctarl shouted and several large Ctarl security officers tackled him to the deck floor.

"Take that fur fuck away, and send him back to Ctarl-Ctarl a broken mess," the general growled.

888

"Ugh," Jim moaned out.

"I knew I got the best partner I could find."

"Gene? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Your cat girls are on duty at the moment. They tried to get out of it but that General wants the ships done and no one else being dragged down to hole 27."

"Shouldn't you be with...?"

"Suzuka is on duty so I can't have any fun at the moment. Besides, someone has got to watch over you," Gene grinned. "That was stupid you know."

"Yeah, this coming from the king of stupid stuff," Jim retorted.

"Well, at least your sense of humor is still intact."

"Wait, you said...they both been staying here?"

"I don't know what it is, but those two have come to some silent understanding."

"Don't tell me I'm going to end with two like you," Jim groaned out.

"You'd feel better about that if your ribs weren't busted up," Gene commented.

"And just how did you manage to get both of them?"

"Don't know how, but Mel figured out that something was bothering Suzuka. Girl's an impath if you ask me, anyway, the two talked and the next thing I know they've both dragged me into me and Mel's bedroom..."

"And the rest I've had the displeasure of hearing ever since."

"You've certainly gained a lot of Ctarl respect, standing up against that bastard for a mate seems to ring with those cats."

"Yeah, honor and battle seems to be just as precious to them as money."

"Where's that runt?"

Gene turned to see the Ctarl general coming into the medical bay. He came over to where Jim was resting and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Kid, what you did ensured that we weren't going to have problems assigning any of my people to human grappler ships."

"What about that bastard?" Jim questioned.

"On a medical ship heading for home, broken and bloody of course," the general answered with a smirk. Jim grinned. In this case, Ctarl sense of justice was appropriate for this matter.

Furious wasn't the word for what he was feeling. Down out murderous rage was what could easily describe the Emperor's mood. Aisha's father didn't give the younger Ctarl the satisfaction that he was in fear of the man.

"Listen to me very carefully for I will not repeat myself. You and the one that you entered into that contract with will not try to skirt my decree again. Do so again and both your and his families will be cast outs! Clear?" he growled.

"You are ruining us," the Ctarl general growled.

"Challenge me after I return from meeting with the Nayans', Corbonites', and Silgrians' representatives," he snarled.

"I plan to do so," the older Ctarl growled back and the Emperor stormed off. Aisha's father sat back in his chair. He would have to go into intensive training if he was going to beat that kitten.
