Willin Rutherford wanted to bounce up and down in the seat of his father’s hover-car in excitement, but years of etiquette training had taught him to keep it inside. A Rutherford never bounces like a little child he mentally recitated in his head. However, he couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the scenery outside in anticipation. He was getting his very first Geopet. Ever since they were first created in 1045 A.E.D (After Earth Departure), they were THE number one thing every sixteen year old boy and girl on the planet Syros wanted. You can play with them, train them and even teach them tricks. And now, Willin was on his way to purchase one of his own!

At 5’3”, the young man had sleek dark hair combed neatly, with brown eyes and fair skin, and he weighed 145 lbs. and was physically fit from his daily exercise regimen. Willin was the 16 year old son of Cornelius Rutherford, president of RITA, Rutherford Interplanetary Trade Associates, and because he was the heir apparent of such a powerful corporation, he had been strictly taught at a young age to take on the family business by some of the best tutors available. However, the consequence of all this was that Willin was isolated from kids his own age, so he became lonely. Sure, he had servants that would come to every beck and call, but none were there to play with him, no one to share his secrets to. In the end, he was all alone in his father’s estate.

Willin had asked his father for a pet before, perhaps a domesticated Caruvilan Liger, but Mr. Rutherford did not see any practical uses for a pet. However, after a recent study showing that kids who had raised a Geopet were most likely to be successful later in life, Cornelius immediately changed his mind. On Willin’s 16th birthday, Mr. Rutherford came home to personally drive his son to the Geopet store to buy him his first Geopet. Willin was more than happy to comply.

It only took 20 minutes for them to reach the Geopet store. It was a large, white building that looked more like a medical center than a pet store, but this was definitely the place. Jumping out of the car, he and his father entered the building. Inside, they sat in the waiting room for a few minutes before a man with a manager’s tie came out to lead them into the facilities.

“Right this way Mr. Rutherford.” He said, taking them through a doorway. “Here we have some of our best Geopet on display. Feel free to choose any one of them, though for a man of your station I would suggest a regal lavender eared breed.”

Mr. Rutherford nodded and looked down at his son. “Go ahead Willin, choose one of them to take home with you.”

Willin walked down the aisle, looking through the cages at the animals inside. The Geopets were all young puppies, only 4 feet tall if they stood upright. They were moving around their cages, playing, eating or napping in ignorance. Appearance wise, they were very human like. They had the same arms and legs, hands and feet. They could move on all fours, or stand upright like he could. However, instead of normal ears, theirs were more animalistic and furred, like the endangered cats and dogs Willin saw in his biology books, and they had large, bushy tails. Their hair also came in a variety of different colors, from normal shades such as brown, blond and red to unique ones like purple, pink and green. Each of the pet wore a special obedience collar to keep them under control, as well as a restriction pouch covering their private areas similar to a jockstrap, but more metallic and mechanical.

Willin inspected one after another. Although there were a variety of promising individuals, none of them caught his eyes. As he reached the end of the aisle, he saw that there was another door leading into the next room. Curious, he made a glance behind hi shoulder and saw his father talking with the manager. Quietly he slipped into the next room and looked around. Like the other room, it was full of cages with Geopets. Unlike the other room, however, these ones looked a bit…shabbier and scrawnier. These were probably the breeds sold to the cheaper customers.

Still, there was no harm in looking. Making his way down, he glanced at each of them, passing them by.

Suddenly Willin felt a pair of eyes watching him. Turning around, he saw a blue eared Geopet crouched down in his cage, looking straight at him. This pet was barely three feet tall, and his tail was more fluffy than bushy. He was very tiny when compared to the other ones, by far the smallest one Willin had ever seen. However, when their eyes met, Willin felt something just fall into place.

“Willin, what are you doing over here?”

Willin jumped and turned around. His father and the manager had come into the room to look for him.

“I was just browsing through this selection.” Willin replied.

Mr. Rutherford looked around and took note of the skinny, shabby pets in their cages. “Come on Willin, all the good pets are in the other room. Let’s go back there and so you can pick one of them.”

“I want this one, father.” Willin pointed at the blue eared one. The Geopet wagged his tail.

Both Mr. Rutherford and the manager looked surprised at his choice. “But it’s so scrawny! It’s obviously the runt of the litter. How about that striped red tail Geopet back in there?”

“The red stripe is an excellent choice, sir.” The manager nodded enthusiastically. After all, the striped red tail was the most expensive one in the kennel.

“No, I want this one.” Willin said firmly. There was something about that Geopet that just seemed so…so right. Now that he met him, there was no way he was going to settle for any other.

The pet store manager bit his lip. He had obviously been hoping to sell the priciest of the store to such a rich man, but Willin’s choice was the cheap discounted pet!

Mr. Rutherford, on the other hand, scratched his bearded chin as he thought it over. Although his son’s choice was not the best one, he remembered that raising the pet was also important. Seeing to the cares of such an obviously needy pet would teach Willin many things that he could use in the corporate world. And if something were to happen to the pet, it would show Willin that he needed to make wiser decisions. It was a win-win situation for Cornelius.

“We’ll take it.” He told the manager.

The manager nearly choked at the lost opportunity, but regained his composure right away. “Very well sir.” He walked up to the cage, entered the combination and pressed his thumb against the pad. With a buzz and a click, the cage door swung open. Shyly, the blue eared Geopet crawled out. Slowly he made his way towards Willin, gave him a sniff, then wagged his tail.

Willin smiled and petted the blue haired pet and watched it wagged his tail even faster.

“Here’s the control for the pet.” The manager handed him a device that fitted comfortably in his hand. “This button over hear unlocks his restriction pouch so he can do his business. Now, whenever he disobeys or causes trouble, press this red button here to activate the obedience collar’s electrical current generator to give them a shock.”

Willin nodded firmly. Though he did not want to hurt his cute new pet, he knew it was a necessary thing in order to keep them under control.

They all went into the lobby where his father paid for the pet and signed the necessary documents. Meanwhile, Willin was absently petting his new pet while reading a few pamphlets. There were some basic care instructions, such as to never to remove the pet’s obedience collar, unlock the pouch twice a day for his bodily functions and when it was old enough, five times a day so it can perform its sexual release.

There were also pamphlets of what the Geopets could do. It had pictures of them catching balls, and performing a variety of little tricks and commands. There was one pamphlet showing all the sports the pets could do. Willin skimmed through the racing and the swimming when his eyes landed on the strong pet competition and the Geopet show. The pictures displayed HUGE Geotpets lifting tons of weight over their head. In the Geopet show, there were images of the Geopets hitting various poses, flexing their great muscles. The Geopets in the picture were all so tall and muscle bound, not an ounce of fat on them. The smallest in there was 6’5” and 290 lbs. a legendary number that no human had ever grown into ever since the days they still resided on Earth since humans have long since evolved into a smaller, lighter race, but with vastly intellectual.

Looking down at his new pet, Willin could not help but wonder if he could train his pet to become that size. How awesome it would be to have a giant Geopet towering at 8 feet tall and 650 lbs. of pure brawn power. The blue eared Geopet simply purred and wagged his tail Willin scratched a soft spot behind his ears.

“Well, we’re just about done.” Mr. Rutherford announced, and Willin looked up. “All we need to do now is name him, and we’ll be free to take him home.

Willin thought hard for a name for his pet. Somehow, the common pet names Butch, Lucky and Fido didn’t quite fit him. Looking down, he saw the smug expression on the Geopet as Willin petted him.

“His name is….Felix.” He announced.

I have to confess this story didn't get through me the first time I read, however, after a more detailed read, I actually think it had a great potential.

I hope someone else continues.

Part 2 by muscl4life

Taking a sip of an expensive bottle of an alien beverage that easily burnt down his throat, Cornelius sat at his relaxation chair allowing the machine to increase the serotonin waves on his organism, enjoying one rare moment of tranquility in his own personal studio. Usually, by sunset his dozen assistants and the innumerous secretaries his companies possessed would have been trying to contact him over the MLD (mental link device) requiring his approval on a variety of subjects. Rutherford has always been told he needed to delegate more often, and frankly, in moments like these, when he literally had to disconnect with the rest of the world just for the sake of his own sanity, he truly regretted that he had never learned such thing.

“That’s it Felix! Good boy…Good boy!! Now you go fetch it! Go fetch!” Willin’s high voice tone suddenly invaded his dad’s personal sanctum, showing an excitement level which clearly didn’t belong on a man of his status. Normally the rich man would have called order his son to watch the tone on his voice, however, something ignited the CEO’s curiosity. It had been nearly two weeks since his son had bought that poor Geopet specimen, apparently, contrary to the skeptical father’s assumptions; the scrawny little blue pet was still alive.

Rutherford casually walked towards the direction from where his son’s voice came from. Soon, the father noticed his son had his back turned on him, the kid was sat on the ground, his legs opened wide, squeezing some toy that soon drew someone else’s attention.

The skeptical man suddenly frowned as a big pair of eyes blue eyes nearly glowing in the dim light of the opposite room.

It wasn’t the same pet. It couldn’t be the same pet. The one he had purchased was a disgusting and pathetic attempt of malfunctioning Geopet, shorter, skinnier and perhaps one of the weakest specimen he had ever seen.

However, the big blue eyes facing Rutherford belonged to a completely different specimen, even though he was still an infant, his muscles were much larger and more developed than the original pet, the size on his body was just incompatible with that ridiculous little thing Willin had insisted on buying.

“Son…when did you get a new pet?” Rutherford asked as he entered the room, the glowing blue eyes just retreated, trying to hide at the dark corner of the richly decorated room.

“Oh…h-hello dad…I didn’t know you were already at home…sorry to disturb you…” Willin said trying to recompose his figure, his hair fair skin was red, glistening of sweat, his clothing was noticeably maculated by the ground’s dust and his hair was particularly a mess. The young master was visible nervous because he knew only few things upset his father more than a bad self-presentation.

“Don’t you try to fool me, young man, I want to know when did you get yourself a new Geo and what happened to the one I have previously acquired for you…” Rutherford was a hard businessman, but he was an even harder educator.

Willin just stood up “Father…I don’t know what are you talking about…this…is my Geo, it’s Felix…”

The owner of RITA didn’t like when people think he could be easily fooled.

“Did you really think I’d fall for that? You’ve interrupted my relaxation on purpose just to forge a casual intimacy moment that would help you to cover up the fact that you’ve ignored my best advises and insisted on buying an inferior specimen which couldn’t last a whole week. How dumb did I have to overlook the fact that your new Geo is much bigger than the one you’ve originally got?”

Willin just took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the other side of the room, his father was about to start another lecture, when he noticed the short teenager returning, using all his strength to carry his Geopet along.

Rutherford had to admit his kid had been clever to find a pet which had the same unusual shade of blue, although the similarities ended right there – this new pet was nearly 5 feet tall but he should outweigh the young Rutherford by at least 60 pounds, which made its stocky, muscular frame quite impressive, even according to Geopet standards.

It was obviously that the new Geopet was intimidated by Rutherford’s presence, but who wouldn’t? At 5’8” tall, Cornelius was indeed one of the tallest men after the Disband, and he certainly used this physical advantage in his favor, not to mention that his uncanny groomed features and restricted manners also imposed a very unwelcoming feeling, especially towards the help and the inferior creatures such as the pets.

“Come on Felix, it’s okay, dad won’t hurt you, he just wants to look at you…”

Those blue eyes facing Cornelius were indeed big, glowing in a light blue shimmer that gently danced around his corneas. The right fang was shorter than the left one, indeed it seemed chipped and there was a small cut around the left eye brow. If only the face was to be considered, the Geo would have probably been pretty spanked and mistreated, it wouldn’t be uncommon if he was constantly submitted to physical abuse.

However, the rest of the body on that new Geopet exulted in physical glory. The muscles were thick, defined and very dense, they actually have thick veins covering their rugged surface, since Geo’s anatomy is quite similar to human’s, it is possible to relate to their muscles just like if they belonged on a human organism, so Rutherford Senior noticed right away that this new pet was indeed much more muscular than the average Geo, which could only mean his son was trying to fool him.

“The one you’ve chosen could barely walk, and this one is bigger than any of those pedigree specimen we have seen at the store, it’s clearly that you have changed it once you’ve realized I was right, or worse, you were trying to hide that something else had happened to…” The Master of the Rutherford clan was suddenly silenced, when his son, showed the control device of his pet, the digital signature was on the Pet’s nano chip was still Rutherford’s, which means he was the one who had bought and genetically allowed its registration.

For all the legal and healthcare effects, this was still the same Specimen #477/TRY, the genetic match was undeniable.

“Are you satisfied now, father? I am not a liar, neither a crook; I’d never try to fool you about such important matter! I have been dedicating very hard to Felix. I knew right away that he was a great Geopet, he’d just been through harsh times, after being properly taken care, he just blossomed like all the rest of them.” Willin said as he petted the blue hair of his Geo, which stood now just a bit over three inches shorter than his master.

Rutherford hated when he was wrong, unless Willin secretly possessed unearthed hacking skills to forge such complex genetic signature, that awesomely brawny specimen had been less than two weeks ago a mere scrawny attempt of Geopet.

As usual, Cornelius never apologized, considering it to be some sort of character flaw, he just frowned as he scratched his goatee.

“I can see you have been very dedicated to this pet, but how come you have managed to promote such physical enhancements over such short period of time?” Skillfully, Cornelius just made everything sounds like Willin was the one who had behaved in a weird manner, when they both clearly know the father had just never trusted anyone in his life, not even his very son.

Willin just smirked, he knew his father would never admit he had been wrong, and frankly, now that he had Felix with him, he didn’t need such thing. The kid just wiggled a pinky squishy toy that suddenly turned the timid Geo into a more venturous one, the creature just purred as it tried to take it from its mater’s hands, which could have been smaller than the wide paws, but were indeed fast enough to fool the inferior mind of the muscular creature.

“I am not giving him any illegal substances, dad, you can run a physical scan on him, all Felix needed was someone to take care after him. I bet he was just smaller because his big brothers must have kept him from the better feeding sources, or perhaps he had been sick, but when I started treating him properly his muscles just started growing like this…you’re just becoming a big boy aren’t you Felix?”

The creature seemed aloof of the human conversation; it just focused all its enhanced primal senses on the pinky squishy toy that the master wiggled in front of his face. That same toy had once belonged to Willin himself, back when he was just a toddler, he still remembered when his mother played with him the same way he did with Felix, back in the days when the Rutherford House wasn’t so harsh and so severe. One day, the Geopet was playing around his master’s room and found the old toy inside some drawer, the pink squishy thing immediately fascinated the blue Geo, and from that moment on, whenever it saw Willin, Felix would desperately seek his favorite toy so the two of them could play for hours straight, forgetting all the discipline, all the lessons, the premises to become the Leader of Mankind’s greatest legacy.

Suddenly, Cornelius felt that conversation no longer interested him.

“Well, you are doing a good job with this creature, which seems you can take responsibilities more serious than I have anticipated, for that reason I’ll recommend your tutors to give you more exercises, because you seem to have quite a bit of extra time in your hands if you are playing with the creature. Now you go wash up for dinner because you look ridiculously filthy.” Will’s father ordered as he returned to his beloved inner sanctum.

Willin looked down to the ground, quickly dropping the pink squishy as he automatically headed to his room to get clean for their dinner, the Geopet quickly attacked the precious target. “Yes, father, I will do as you desire…” The teenager said as he left the living room.

For one moment, Felix was so excited that he had finally managed to take his object of desire in his mouth that he just didn’t notice his beloved master leaving the room, although Geo’s scent is pretty strong, the cub suddenly felt lost without the visual reference of its master, so it immediately started sniffing after him, but the immensity of the Rutherford’s mansion had such a myriad of newfound smells that Felix was yet to decipher, the challenge of exploring the wide long corridors was indeed a thrill for the little yet very muscular cub.

Cornelius had just found his ideal serotonin frequency; his powerful mind was used to spend 50 hours without sleep, so anything that remotely resembled a nap was just greatly appreciated, even if the tough business man never confessed this to anyone. As his limbs felt heavier and his senses focused on the gentle imagery produced by the relaxation machine of the flotation device, Will’s powerful father just forgot all about that stupid pet, trying to sleep a little before dinner.

Suddenly, Felix heard noises, his muzzle detected a smell that was very similar to his master’s, yet there was something odd on it, but the blue Geopet just squeezed the toy harder in his mouth and ran towards the source of the smell, which came exactly from the weird thing floating right in front of him. Felix wiggled his tail, emitting just a very low purr as he prepared to jump over his master’s lap, the best place in the whole universe…

“AAARGH!” The scream seemed to have echoed all over the Rutherford Residence, the help jumped inside their pants, even the robots seemed to have learned fear from the ruthless temper of their master.

Will was very upset about his father’s suspicious. He knew right away when he picked Felix up that his father only allowed such thing in order to test him, everything was about thriving and prevailing for Cornelius, he had never been warm or fatherly to him, not even when his mother was alive, the master of RITA was always too busy or too tired for just being his father, although he was never too busy to play the role of the emotionless, nearly despotic Leader of Mankind’s greatest Legacy. After the premature decease of Rosalyn Rutherford, there was no family left, they were just two blood related men living under the same luxurious mansion roof.

The teenager was just finishing his quick, yet meticulously careful shower, when he heard the angry sound coming from his father personal chambers, Willin noticed Felix was nowhere to be seen, and he suddenly panicked. The Rutherford heir just crossed the way to his father’s inner sanctuary of peace wrapped only on his undergarments.

“GET THIS MONSTER OFF ME!” Cornelius screamed as he tried to remove the impressive weight of Felix’ muscular frame from his much slenderer body. The poor Geopet had considered the smell of the Great Master Cornelius Rutherford, like belonging to his truthfully teenager master and, unfortunately, the normally shy Geo only behaved more adventurously when he had Willin around him, which, given the circumstances, would normally result in a pretty funny scene.

Suddenly, the all powerful Leader of Mankind’s Greatest Legacy was helpless attacked by all the fuzzy fury of a lovingly Geo trying to play a little bit more with his master, although, according to Cornelius steel tight poise, playing with a pet was not allowed, what to say of being savagely invaded on his precious space! To make things worse, Felix’ weight which had been so abruptly added on the top of the relaxation device, knocked the precious appliance over, spilling the bottle of the expensive beverage all over the floor.

Although several people and even automats had attended to Cornelius’ cursing and screaming, none of them had actually idea of what to do, because they were strictly told to never, under any circumstances, touch the body of their Master because it would not only get them immediate dismissal, they would actually be sued for molesting the patriarch.

Willin just arrived in time to see Felix helpless on top of his father’s lap, it didn’t matter if Cornelius kicked and screamed; the weight of the Geopet’s recently developed muscles immobilized his father. Meanwhile, Felix’ big blue eyes showed that the poor creature still hadn’t understood the relatively danger of his latest deeds, if it were on any other house, the father would just act surprised, pet the good willing Geo, then he would just tell him to jump off him.

However, for much less Cornelius had literally crushed the hopes and dreams of real people, the veins on his forehead were just so thick, Willin thought they would explode any moment.

“Felix get down, boy… get down!” Taking the lead, Willin just told Felix to jump down, the Geo never seemed so happy to see his true master, so he just rushed towards him, making sure he got well protected behind the teenager’s thin figure. Meanwhile, Willin helped his father to get back on his feet – he knew the help would never touch him without permission.

Cornelius was literally fuming, he just looked around him, the help dared to invade his personal chamber, his son presented himself half naked, the bottle of rare beverage which had cost him a fortune that could have fostered the colonization of another moon was now totally gone, and the worst, the solely responsible for all that mess was just an imbecile creature.

“Give me the control!” Cornelius told Willin in a very low, yet nervously angry tone, which suddenly made all the staff rush back into their place, relieved the master would just blame the Geopet instead of them.

“Dad…he had no fault, he just wanted to play with you…he’s just a puppy!” Willin tried to reason, but his father’s mind was already made. Cornelius eidetic memory recalled the control was indeed on the top of the coffee table back at the living room, so he just walked towards there with a contained fury.

Willin remembered the same thing, yet he couldn’t run past his father because Felix was literally holding onto his body, so afraid he was of Cornelius; little did the pet know that the worst was yet to come. The teenager managed to drag his heavy pet out of his father’s chambers and he even slipped from Felix’s grip, rushing in order to avoid the worst.

“Dad… please don’t shock him…he’s just a little cub, he didn’t mean to hurt you!”

“I am here to educate, son, and this unruly beast needs to be educated not to attack its master!” Cornelius Rutherford didn’t hide the pleasure he felt when he pressed the red button on the control repeatedly, unleashing a series of painful electric shocks over through the disciplining device of the necklace around Felix’ thick muscular neck.

The young Geopet roared, twisting in agony, its voice was the mixture of a young kitten and a boy, it just rolled over the necklace trying to break it, the more he suffered the better Cornelius seemed to feel, almost like he had found a new favorite hobby other than humiliating people.

“You like jumping on laps huh? Well after this you won’t be able to walk!” Cornelius continued pressing the button over and over, to the point the hair on Felix’ head was actually fuming, which sent the boy into despair.

“Dad…stop it! That’s enough, he’s too young!” Willin tried to take the device from his father’s hand, yet Cornelius easily overpowered the teenager – meanwhile Felix cried loudly as the shocks painfully continued, the repetition of such senseless punishment just unlocked the other physiologic inhibitors, which soon resulted in a greater mess, because poor Felix just peed himself in a mix of pain and fear.

“You miserable brat, you’ve peed on my expensive carpet!” Cornelius said as he was about to press the red button once again just to show the stubborn creature who the true master really was.

Willin screamed at the top of his lungs, he just couldn’t bear watching his beloved buddy suffering like that, his father was not always right, he was not always in control, he was just an arrogant bastard

“STOP IT! YOU’RE GONNA KILL HIM JUST LIKE YOU KILLED MOM!”

Cornelius dropped the control, and Felix fainted, after such painful experience the Geopet stood there, crying in the puddle of his pee, still not understanding what had happened to him. Meanwhile, the Rutherford Master just held his son’s chin vigorously.

“You won’t repeat it, son, EVER AGAIN!”

“YOU FUCKING KILLED HER! SHE COULDN’T HANDLE YOUR PURE EVIL, SHE WAS SO SICK OF YOU SHE GAVE UP LIVING!” Willin repeated, he knew exactly how to draw his father’s anger over him, he didn’t bother if that would mean he would be severely punished by means that only Cornelius’ deviant mind could engender, he’d rather take the same shocks himself other than allowing the Geo to be punished on his place.

Rutherford Senior just looked at his son with a bitter expression.

“You are disgusting weakling just like her!” Cornelius coldly affirmed as he exited the living room.

“Now you take that filthy pest and go to your room, you won’t see the light of day until I decide what shall be your punishment…” The heartless father announced with a sadistic pleasure.

Still cleaning his face, Willin checked on his pet, Felix was just there, shaking uncontrollably, his strong muscles bulging as the poor creature feared for any possible pain. The teenager just summoned a robot to pick Felix up and take him to his room, where he instructed the automat to carefully place the Geo over his own bed. Regardless his father’s orders to force the pet to sleep on the ground, ever since the first night Felix slept just at Willin’s feet.

“I am sorry, Felix, I should have never taught you to go fetch…” Willin caressed the hard surface of his Geo’s muscular body, then he just lowered his chin over the blue haired head, feeling his tears rolling down.

“You shouldn’t even be here, this place is worse than the store you came from, my father is a monster and now that he had tasted your pain he will come back for more, I am sorry, Felix…I am so sorry!” Willing hugged his Geo, feeling the creature hugging him back, so very tight, the muscles on his body were really strong, the power on his pet was indeed impressive.

“Rrrr.r.r.r.r.r.rrr……II…..r…r…r…a..a…a…a..a..m..m. .m..s…ooooor..r..r..r..yyyyyyy” at the first time, the young Rutherford thought his ears had pranked him, but then the same familiar sounds started once again, but this time they were actually more coordinated.

“I….am….sorry, Willinnnnn…” The teenager suddenly lifted his eyes and faced his Geopet. He noticed the thin lips pressing against the chipped fang, his longer tongue moving inside his mouth.

Willin had probably gone crazy; because he was sure Felix was talking at him.


To be continued.

[MysteriousMist]

Well, I'm pretty much a lurker here, but I figure I may as well give it a shot. It's probably a bit short, but hopefully, it's enough to give someone else something to go on.

-----

Willin was still in his room. He was lying on his bed, eyes still open and looking around in the darkness. It had been a three days since the event, and he had not stepped out from his room since then. Felix was still sleeping lightly on his bed.

He didn't really mind being locked in his room. Though he couldn't go out, it was large enough for him to be comfortable in it. He spent his time taking care of Felix instead. His meals were brought to him by robots, and he had not seen another person within that time. Perhaps it was his father's attempt at trying to punish him. However, it didn't bother him too much. Usually, he only had contact with his tutors to begin with. To him, it just meant that he had more time to spend with his pet.

Felix had recovered from the shocks, but he was still a bit stunned by the entire thing. He hadn't even been stunned by Willin before, who had been managed to keep him in line simply scolding him. It had always been enough. The first day, every time he had moved around his room, Felix had stayed next to him, whining slightly.

He had not spoke again since that day. Looking back on it, Willin still wasn't sure that Felix had spoke. It was possible he had mistaken it. As far as he knew, Geopets couldn't speak. They were smart enough to know how to act, but any animal could be domesticated that way. He had spoken to Felix a bit during their time together, just trying to make sure he was okay at first. He didn't respond at all at first, only clinging onto him as he spoke. Though he seemed to nod occasionally as Willin spoke, it wasn't enough to confirm anything.

The time was a bit rough for him, however. He had managed to conceal the toy that Felix was fond of in his clothing before his father had taken everything out of his room, but most of his things had been taken out except his bed. Any connection he had to access information was to be monitored. He tried studying occasionally, hoping not to give his dad another excuse to be upset, but for the most part, he still tried to take care of Felix.

In fact, he had dedicated most of his time to it. He had played with Felix, and been looking over him carefully, trying to take care of Felix and ensure he was clean after his running. He had water available in the bathroom connected to his, thankfully. Felix had been going outside to take care of it, but with that no longer an option, he had done his best to use the space that was given to him. However, Felix had been a bit messy when he needed to relieve himself, though he always stuck around as Will cleaned up the results. He had gotten neater, thankfully.

Food had also been a bit of an issue. Though he had received his, his father had neglected... No. He had stopped allowing any food for Felix. Luckily, Willin had more than enough provided for him, and shared a bit. But, it wasn't enough for what was supposed to be given. Geos were supposed to be fed meals much larger than what he had given. As a result, Felix was a bit sluggish at the time. It was probably his father's method of trying to discipline him.

Still, Felix was comfortable, given the circumstances. He had somehow managed to keep his body in a good shape. Though there wasn't anything else to do, the two had played in the room together, enjoying the time together. He had taken to running in circles around the room when Willin sat down, always seated next to him soon after. His size had not increased very much since he had stopped being able to eat. He had not grown any, but his body had become much more firm through the bit of excercise he could get in the room. His arms and legs had seen plenty of use, and they had a defined feel to them because of it. His body seemed to determined to use any of the fat on him before resorting to anything else, so he had an incredibly lean look to him. His muscles seemed to show through his fur, the fur on his body seeming to match his shape.

Willin gave Felix a scratch around the collar to try to comfort him as Felix woke. He was a bit nervous, but knew what was coming. His father had always been ready to punish him if he had done anything that would "risk the family's name." Though he expected something a bit serious, he felt it would be better than what Felix would have suffered had he not spoken. His father usually took a couple days to decide on what his punishment would be, but he made it a point to always present it first thing in the morning, to ensure that he could spend the rest of the day lecturing on the reasoning behind it.

The door to his room slid open, his father standing with a grim look beside it. Felix jumped backwards at his approach, hiding behind Will.

"I hope you've had enough time to prepare yourself, Willin."

Willin gave a small nod before gripping Felix's shoulder lightly. "It's alright. I'll see you again when this is all over." Felix licked his face in response, letting him give a small smile off. Will wiped his face before he got up, nodding to his father and slowly walking out of the room. Rutherford gave a quick glare to the Geo before sealed the room shut, the door sliding closed behind him.

Felix was left alone in the room, uncertain of what was going on. He continued to pace around in circles, hoping for his master to return soon. He didn't have any clue how long it would be. Restlessly, he began moving across the room, smelling carefully and hoping he would be able to get a trail that way. He nudged against the door, hoping to push it open. It budged slightly, but did not give way.

He jumped onto the bed, shaking it a bit, and curled up. It seemed all he could do right now was wait. Still, he shook a bit at the idea. The man that had hurt him was taking his master away...

[Mad Dog]

Mr. Rutherford paced back in forth in front of Willin, who was nearly trembling waiting for his punishment. It was always awful, waiting for what his father would say. He almost hated it more than the actual punishment. And he was still angry at his father for lashing out at him and his pet earlier, but knew that disrespecting him again would just make whatever was coming worse.

"Willin... son... Maybe I overreacted the other day..." he finally said, looking vulnerable for once in his life.

Willin was shocked. This was unheard of! His father was a stern businessman, who ruled his house with an iron fist; what was with the clemency this time? "Um, overreacted...?" Willin dared to ask.

"You have to realize the kind of pressure a man in my position faces," Mr. Rutherford said, rubbing his temples. "It's not easy to run the business that keeps us in this lifestyle, Willin. It takes a lot of work and a lot of nerve. This is the life I am preparing you for. You will take my place when it is time, and anyone who shows weakness will be crushed. If I am ever harsh with you, it is because I..." he stopped there, seeming to have difficulty saying what the both of them knew he meant. That he loved Willin. Mr. Rutherford started up again after choking on that, "You know how your mother died, Willin. It may make you angry, but we both know it had nothing to do with me. I will not tolerate you blaming me for her death again. If you do so, I will not be as merciful as I am being today, is that clear?"

"...Yes, father," Willin meekly replied.

"Now, about this geopet of yours..." Rutherford continued, stroking his chin. "It's become entirely apparent that this house is no place for you to have such a wild creature." Willin's face immediately dropped. He couldn't ask him to give up Felix! Before he could protest, though, his father continued, "Therefore I think the solution will be that Felix will live outside, on the estate grounds. If you have a problem with this, I have no problem taking your geopet back where we got him."

"Of course, father!" Willin excitedly answered. This was going much better than he though it would!

"I'm afraid I got caught up in the heat of my anger last time," his father said. "As I've taught you before, it's a mistake to let emotions rule your decisions. You have to understand my mind link sessions are some of the only moments I get to be at peace during the day. I get extremely agitated if anyone interrupts me like that beast did. Hopefully this new living arrangement will be to everyone's benefit."

Willin nodded. "Oh, thank you, father! You're so generous!"

Mr. Rutherford just nodded curtly and walked away, leaving his son thoroughly unpunished for once in his life. He let his mind wander back to his own childhood, where his father had let him raise his own geopet. He had lavished it with attention and love at first, but after a few weeks, he had become bored with it and allowed it to die from neglect. His own father had been furious with him and had come close to beating him for making such a poor decision. Seeing Willin raise his own geopet had reminded Rutherford of his own mistake after decades of leaving it forgotten. That Willin was raising his pet so well where he had failed had made him explode with anger at the slightest provocation, a fact he realized only during the time that he'd put them both in their room. His argument with his son was making him realize he was fathering Willin the way he'd resented being raised himself. And the fact that he'd made Willin hate him so much that he blamed him for what happened to Rosalyn... But he couldn't let that show.

*************

Willin went back to his room, where Felix was eagerly waiting for him to come back, his tail wagging furiously, but his face looked anxious, his blue eyes seemingly begging to know his fate. His thick muscles were also taut from the anxiety. "It's okay, boy," Willin smiled, rubbing Felix behind one of his ears (his favorite), "we're gonna be okay."

Almost as he seemed to understand what Willin said, Felix beamed, nearly tackling his master and licking his face, cuddling to him, his tail never stopping its wagging, not even for a moment. "We just gotta give you a change of scenery, is all. You don't really like it in this stuffy old place, right? I'll get you a nice geopet house outside. You'll like it a lot more, plus you'll be able to run around and play without me telling you not to break anything. You'll like that, right?" Felix looked at Willin with nothing but unconditional love and devotion. "Yeahhhh, I knew you would," he laughed, tousling Felix's mop of a head.

*************

Willin was true to his word and got a very nice geopet house built for Felix out in the backyard of their estate. It was big enough for Felix to walk around in, was air conditioned and heated for when the weather changed and he nearly filled it with toys for them to play with. He took as much time as he could between lessons with tutors to go out and play with his geopet, frolicking in the grass and the both of them chasing each other around. Normally this would have provoked the ire of Cornelius Rutherford, but he seemed oddly accepting of Willin's behavior with his pup. But he still scolded him if he ever forgot his manners once he came indoors.

Felix continued his growth. He grew a few inches in height, nearly his master's height now, and gained several dozen pounds in lean muscle. His temporary starvation had only served to make his body leaner, tighter, more defined and now that he was packing on mass again, the effect was amazing! He muscles were becoming more and more full, dense, rippling, powerful. Willin had to begin to tell Felix to play a little less rough with him because his strength was really beginning to increase! Willin was so fascinated by Felix's growth that sometimes he would just sit there and feel his geopet's body, how his pecs would rise and fall with each breath, how his abdominals would expand and contract. Sometimes he would see how far he could trace the vein that bulged over Felix's biceps. Felix didn't seem to mind any of this, purring at the close contact Willin made with him. Willin tried to get him to speak again, but it was looking like maybe he had just imagined Felix had spoken. After all, who had heard of geopets talking like people? But still, sometimes it almost looked like Felix was more aware of things than he let on. Sometimes he would look away, almost as if in thought, a look coming over his face that Willin couldn't quite place. A second later, he'd be back to his old, dopey, lovable self, but it made him think.

After a while of Felix growing, the pup began to whine and feel uncomfortable, shifting in his restriction pouch. He would look at Willin with that begging look again. Finally, his master was convinced there was something wrong and convinced his father that he needed to be taken to the vet. When they finally got to the office, the vet was stunned by Felix's development.

"Wow, Willin! Is this really the same geopet you brought to me just a few months ago?" he enthused.

Willin laughed. He loved it when someone noticed how well his pup was coming along. "It sure is! He really seems to be taking off with just being well-fed and getting lots of play."

"If it becomes too much for you, you can always restrict his diet and his exercise," the vet reminded him. "That puppy formula food you have contains nanomachines, vitamins and hormones that help promote growth in young geopets, to ensure their health and vitality."

"Thanks for the advice, doctor," Willin said, "but that's not why I'm hear. Felix has been acting like something's wrong with him lately. Just sort of whining and shifting about."

"Well let's take a look, shall we?" the vet said, taking out his medical instrument (a cross between a stethoscope and a tricorder from the ancient telvision show Star Trek) and scanned Felix. "Hmmm... whatever it is, it's not because your pet's unhealthy," he said. "Felix seems to be in excellent shape! Hmm... maybe this is why..." he mumbled, unfastening Felix's restriction pouch, allowing his equipment to plop out. "Ah, see, here's your problem. He's outgrown his pouch!" the vet said, displaying Felix's genitals to Willin. "This happens early in a geopet's development and is perfectly natural, although Felix is rather young to need this so soon. We'll just get him outfitted with one that is more comfortable and you can be on your way."

The vet went over to another room where they supposedly kept pouches of all sorts of sizes in case of just such a need. Felix was left standing nude in front of his master, his tail slowly swinging back and forth. He looked almost... bashful to be revealed to his master in such a way? Willin decided that couldn't be it. He'd seen Felix nude several times when he did his business during the day. He couldn't help but continue to notice how handsome a geopet Felix was, however. He had excellent development and he was still fairly young.

"Here we are," the vet said cheerfully, coming in with a slightly bigger pouch and fitting it back on Felix. "If he shows the same symptoms again, bring him back in and we'll get another one for him, all right?"

"Okay, doctor," Willin said. But something he'd been thinking about made him ask something else. "Doctor, do you have any information on geopet shows? I think I might want to train Felix for one..."

"A geopet show?" the vet repeated, but while looking at Felix with a critical eye. "Well, I wouldn't always recommend it. It can be a strenuous task for both geopet and breeder. But it appears that Felix has a predisposition for the sort of growth that could make him quite the specimen. I have some literature here on geopet shows that I can give you if you're curious..." He went to a console in the wall and uploaded a text called Geopet Shows: A Beginner's Guide to Willin's personal device. "There. Should have most of what you need to know to set you on the right path."

"Thank you, doctor, you've been a big help," Willin smiled as he took an oddly proud Felix out of the office and back home. He scritched him behind the ears. "You're gonna be the best at it, Felix. I just know it." Felix closed his eyes in pleasure and purred.

[MysteriousMist]

I started writing this about half a month back, and kept putting it off. I guess I understand pretty much everybody else here now in that regard. Still, I've enjoyed the story so far, so here's a second shot at contributing and letting it develop.

-----

The backyard was very active when the two returned. Felix seemed to be bouncing everywhere as soon they got home, the discomfort that had been irritating him gone. It was amazing how quickly he was able to go back to playing with Willin as soon as he was let out of the vehicle. Felix ran back to his house for a moment, but pounced onto Willin as soon as he caught up with him, licking all over his face. Willin laughed as soon as he began, moving him off gently and sitting up afterward. "I'm glad that you're comfortable, too. Next time, though, just point it out or something if something's wrong. It's probably a lot easier for you than waiting for me to figure it out." He scratched Felix's ears, getting a purr in response. Though he had no real idea if Felix understood him, Willin had gotten into the habit of speaking to Felix about everything when they were together.

He look at Felix with affection as he got up, rubbing the pet's head gently as he did. "Still, I'm glad it wasn't anything serious. I mean, I was a bit worried you were sick or something. I'd take care of you, but it's probably better if you didn't in the first place. I really don't want to see you get sick or something. You've probably had enough as it is." He glanced over Felix, wondering when he might have chipped his fang before. Felix looked at him inquisitively, following his face as he moved. While he spoke often enough, Willin was usually playing with him as he did. It wasn't very often that he stopped completely to talk. At least, not when it was still daylight out. He was used to to always running about through the yard, cruising by the plants as Willin either followed behind him, or just stayed to watch him.

"I guess I'm just a bit worried that something might happen if I start training you for a show. It's supposed to be tough, and I really don't know if I'll be able to handle it. If you get injured or something, I'm not sure what would happen. I mean, I know that my dad would yell at me, but I think he'd consider it a lesson or something. I'd just rather not make that kind of mistake with you, you know?"

Felix gave a small whine, nudging at Willin gently. "Sorry. I'm just worrying too much. You probably don't want to sit around, do you? Come on, then. Let's head out, boy. We can think about starting training another time." Willin left the house, and Felix bounded outside shortly afterwards, only stopping for a moment to grab a ball on the way out.

The two of them had a pretty normal day after that. Willin had tried to catch Felix several times as they played, and they spent a good amount of time rolling in the grass after Felix had hopped onto him on more than one occasion. It had become difficult for Willin to lift Felix at all, so he found himself glad that Felix was happy to follow him around when they needed to go back in. Of course, it made things a bit difficult when he had to head back to the main part of the manor, as it always took a few minutes to make sure Felix would stay inside his house.

"You are almost late for your tutor. Be more prepared in the future."

"Yes, father."

His father had been watching the two from near the entrance silently. Though he had allowed Willin his time, he would not allow him to forget his responsibilities or upbringing because of it. He began walking inside, not turning to look at Willin as he spoke. Willin made his way after his father, looking at his feet as he walked. "I had checked with the veterinarian that I had you and Felix sent to. He reported your pet's condition to me. He also said you had some interest in bringing him to a show. Is this correct?"

"Yes, I do."

"You, of course, understand that I cannot permit you to dedicate all of your time to this? You must continue your training and prepare for your role in the family business."

Willin felt a slight twinge of regret, but he responded shortly. "I understand. I know that our family is responsible for many important dealings, and I cannot allow any personal matters to interfere with that," He recited in a quiet voice.

"That's correct. I allowed you to care for a pet only because you had promised to take care of him on your personal time. If you cannot keep your other engagements, I will not hesitate to get rid of any distractions. Is that clear?"

Willin simply nodded in response. He was a bit disappointed, but he knew that he had already been lucky in dealing with his father recently. Though he would have liked to give Felix a chance to compete, he was just glad that he could still play with him. "I understand. I will not allow my studies to fail because of a distraction." He responded rather stiffly before he began heading further inside, his father stopping outside of his study.

"Good. If you understand that, then you have my permission to begin training Felix."

Willin turned around, facing his father suddenly, a startled expression on his face.

"You have been taking... adequate care of your pet on your own time. If you believe you are capable of putting more effort into a task, then I have no complaints against it. As long as you continue to do well in your other duties, then I can accept you taking on additional responsibility."

Willin's expression rose at those words. He stopped for a moment to turn to his father, about to thank him before he was interrupted. "You have two minutes before you are late. If you are not on time..."

Willin turned away, walking rather quickly to his next room. His father simply watched him leave before walking into his study, relieved that the child was still taking everything seriously. He had spoken to all of his tutors, and they had said that Willin had done better work now, working with a bit more focus. It seemed like having a pet had been helpful, as he had wanted.

He sat down, holding a small screen in his hands an looking over it. It would be another minute before the head of the Regional Research department would contact him, and he wanted to make sure that he had gone over the numbers before they started. Somehow, the numbers seemed higher than he had heard earlier in regards to an item shipment, and he wanted an explanation for why the trade of silicon semi-conductors had risen when the technology, though common, was considered outdated. If scientists were doing new research on them, it might be possible to get a personal connection to give him the details and allow him to get involved before any information became widespread.

It was halfway through the meeting that he thought he heard a slight footstep through the middle of the hallway, though it disappeared quickly. It was more important to finish the conversation, but he made a quick note to check the record of activity in the hallway afterwards. Still, he had a good idea of who it was. After all, there weren't many around that went without shoes nearby. With a bit of irritation in his tone, he continued his conversation, planning on dealing with it once his business was taken care of.

Indeed, Felix had come inside shortly before. Though he had a new home now, he still felt the urge to look for his master when he was alone. After being with Willin for so long, he found it easy to find his scent. Though he paused for a moment outside a doorway, he continued past it quickly, the memory of being shocked enough to ensure he wouldn't mix his master's smell up again. He traced it carefully to another hallway, following it to the door of the room. Placing his hand on the door, he pawed it softly, knowing his master was behind it. Still, it was carefully sealed shut, the system in the house locking it unless Willin, his tutor, or his father approached it. All Felix could do was pace in small circles outside of the room, waiting impatiently.

As soon as the door opened, Felix jumped in, tackling Willin to the group. "What the... Ha ha, Felix, that... Ha, it tickles!" Felix had immediately begun licking his face as soon as he had entered, getting it wet all over. "I get it, I get it!" Willing gave Felix a light hug as he did, having a bit of trouble getting his arms around the pet.

His teacher looked down on the scene with a bit of surprise. "So, he's the reason you've been able to focus on your work?" She glanced downward to the two of them on the floor, watching with an amused expression.

"Yeah, he's... Ha ha, he's been really good in helping me relax." He smiled, bending upwards a bit, Felix's position on him loosening a bit.

"I see. Well, whatever works for you. I suppose being relaxed as you work is a good thing, and having a pet helps out with you understanding some of the literature you have to read. Still, try and keep it outside of the room, okay? Your father would not accept any interruption during your lesson."

"Alright, Mrs. Legh."

Felix turned to get a look at the unfamiliar human, only realizing there was someone else in the room just then. Her face was plain, and her brown hair was tied in a ponytail going to the back of her neck. Not knowing how to react, Felix seemed to hesitate for a moment before moving off of Willin, nudging him a bit to help him onto his feet and pushing him in between a bit.

Willin saw the expression on his face, holding onto Felix's arm to try and keep him calm. "It's alright, Felix. She's just my tutor. She's not going to hurt you or anything."

"Perhaps not, but you DO realize that your father will know that your pet was here, right?"

"Oh... Yes... He'll... Oh, boy." Willin immediately grabbed Felix's arm, pulling him as hard as he could as he tried to hurry back outside. Felix had a bit of a blank look on his face as he followed the best he could, a bit off-balance from it.

The two arrived outside rather quickly, Willing stopping for breath as Felix stopped next to him, a curious look on his face. "Okay. Okay. I think it should be fine. We got out fast, so I think he shouldn't make too big of a deal." Willin turned to Felix, lightly pulling on his arm as they began walking back towards Felix's house. "Please, boy, don't do that again, okay? Don't come in without me. I know that it gets a bit lonely sometimes, but I don't want you getting into trouble, okay?" Felix followed him, Willin's tone causing him to look down to the ground as the two walked. Though it wasn't very loud or forceful, the simple statement was enough to cause him to worry a bit. "I mean, I thought you could entertain yourself or something. You've got plenty of toys and stuff. Is it really that important for you to see me?"

Felix whined slightly, licking at Willin's cheek without looking at him. Willin gave a sigh before trying to smile again, gently turning Felix's head to look at him. "It's okay. I know you won't do it again. Just remember that next time, okay?" Felix gave a happy bark before running forward a bit, dragging Willin all over the yard instead of being led. "You're just really energetic right now, aren't you?", Willin said, doing his best to keep up, his feet dragging a little bit through the dirt by the time that Felix stopped. "I guess I'd better try to get you some equipment or something so you can work it off on your own when we start training."

Felix gave a questioning whine, to which Willin responded with a gently pat on his forehead. "Yeah. My dad asked about it, and he said we could. I know it's gonna be tough, but you've been doing really well and everything, so I'm gonna try and get you ready for a show. Might be hard, but you could certainly use the exercise, couldn't you?"

Felix nudged Willin a bit, bumping his head against Willin's stomach from on all fours. The push moved Willin backwards a little, gently but firmly. "It's not that I think you don't look good or something," Willin said, smiling at Felix's reaction, a few vague ideas wandering in the back of his mind. "It's just... I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep up with you in the same way. Still, I'm gonna try. I'll still play with you. I mean, I really don't ever plan on giving that up. I just have to figure out how I can do it when you get a bit older. But I guess running around isn't even enough for you now, is it? I mean, you're always doing it, and you never really seem to get tired of it."

Felix panted a couple of times before sliding his tongue up Willin's face again. Willin patted him on the back a few times, feeling the firmness of his body through his soft fur. He felt proud of Felix, who had grown so much from when he was a few weeks old. He gently ruffled his fur, scratching his skin lightly as he moved his hand towards Felix's shoulder. Felix purred softly, happy to receive the attention.

"Really, I'm happy that you're doing so well. I mean, you've really been growing a lot, and you really look good right now." Willin bent down to his knees, lowering himself slowly while looking Felix in the face. He moved his hand to Felix's arm, squeezing a bit to emphasize his point. He could push down on it slightly, though it was a bit difficult to tell exactly how much he was pressing Felix's fur and how much he was actually moving his bicep.

Felix seemed to pause for a moment before rubbing his head against Willin slowly. It seemed a bit odd to Willin. Why was Felix suddenly nervous around him sometimes? As far as he could remember, there hadn't been any major changes between them. Sure, Felix was getting a bit older now, but he was still acting the same in almost every other regard. He was still as energetic as he always was, if not more so. He still had the same affectionate personality he always showed whenever Willin was around.

He shook the thoughts out of his head, returning to rubbing Felix slowly and scratching occasionally, trying to make him comfortable. "I mean, even if you don't end up going to a show, I think we'd probably end up doing something similar anyways. You're just always active, and I just want you to be at your best, no matter what we end up doing."

Felix nudged Willin backwards, causing him to fall sitting onto the grass. He happily moved over Willin, laying facedown onto the floor and settling the middle of his body into Willin's lap. He remained in that position for a while, lightly flipping over and turning his head towards Willin with his usual vague smile. Willin tried to move a bit, but was unable to get Felix very far from his current spot. He was going to say something, but Felix's face looked relaxed as he saw it. He had planned on playing a bit more when they had time, since he would soon have to return back to the house.

"Yeah. I guess we can leave more excercise for another day. This is fine for me as well. I could probably use the rest more than you could."

Felix gave a small murr before closing his eyes. The hand he had placed lightly on his abs gave him comfort as it pressed and scratched gently against him, slowly moving through the light grooves there. He eventually settled in a state near sleep, his own hands placed on top of Willin's in the end. To Willin, it seemed like a shame that he would eventually have to wake him so he could return to his lessons. But until then, he was content to lightly run his fingers through his fur, watching his pet sleep, the smile that he was so fond of plastered over his face as he unconsciously moved his body just enough to be comfortable for them both.

"Come on boy, pick it up." Willin encouraged his pet.

Felix sniffed at the metal bar in front of him curiously, then did as he was told.

"No Felix, not with your mouth." Willin tapped on the top of the Geo's head, making him drop the bar. "Pick it up with your paw, like this!"

Willin demonstrated by picking up a wooden stick and lifting it up.

Felix wagged his tail and jumped up and down, expecting to play catch. Felix was now two inches taller and several dozen lbs. heavier than his master, but still acted like a little puppy. The Geo was just so cute that Willin couldn't help but laugh.

A week and a half after the trip to the vets and the training equipment had finally arrived. All of them were top quality and beginner friendly for both trainer and trainee. Willin carefully started implementing some of the techniques all of the guides have told him, but so far they had no real success other than a few laughs and licks. They were both having fun though, and that was what was important.

"Now come on Felix, pick up the bar." Willin demonstrated one last time, hoping his pet would catch on.

Felix cocked his head, wrapped his paw around the bar and lifted it two feet off the ground.

"Good boy!" Willin reached out and petted him. Felix purred as his master scratched him behind the ear, his tail wagging happily.

After giving him a good petting, Willin moved on to the next part of the lesson. "Now, do this." He curled the bar up and down. Felix jerked his arm up and down at first but Willin gently corrected him until the Geo got the hang of it. Within a few short minutes Felix was curling the metal bar perfectly.

"Okay boy, I'm going to add a bit of weight to it." Willin took out a control panel and punched in some numbers to increase the gravitational force of the training bar. Felix gave a yelp as the bar in his hand suddenly became heavy.

"Oh I'm sorry Felix!" Willin hit a few keys and lowered the weight down. "Now, curl it like I taught you."

Felix whined nervously, but did as he was told. Slowly, he curled the bar a bit shakingly at first, but after a few reps the Geo seemed to finally be getting it, and was soon curling like those bodybuilders that they used to have on Earth. Seeing how well Felix was doing, Willin added a few more lbs gradually. He was amazed at how strong his pet really was, already curling half of Willin's bodyweight during his first training session! He watched as the biceps of his Geo seemed to swell and grow right before his eyes with each rep.

"Okay Felix, now on to the next exercise..." Willin started, but was interupted when he heard his father's voice.

"Willin, it's time for you to start getting ready for tonight." Mr. Rutherford said from just outside of Felix's little home. He never once walked into the place, thinking that entering a pet's house was beneath a man of his station.

Quickly Willin stood at attention, trying to brush some of the dirt from his clothes. "Sorry father, I guess I forgot about the time."

Mr. Rutherford gave Willin a critical look. "Remember what we talked about? If he becomes too much of a distraction..."

"...you'll get rid of him." Willin nodded, unconciously stepping to the side to put himself between Felix and his father. "It won't, I promise Dad."

"As long as you remember that," Mr. Rutherford turned around and started to leave. "Come quickly. We need to get you cleaned up and groomed for presentation before the party."

"Yes father." Willin gave Felix a firm order to stay in his house and one last pet before he followed his father. Felix looked at Willin's departure sadly and started to follow, but stopped short of exiting. Though he wished to be with his master, he did not want to disobey his order either. Pacing around his little house, he walked by his dozens of toys, all of them quite dull and boring unless Willin was there with him to play with. Whining a bit sadly, he went back over towards the bar his master seemed very keen on today. Sniffing it out, he picked it up again and curled it like he was taught.

Back in the manor, people were moving out and about getting the place prepared for the party celebrating RITA's 119th anniversary. Willin, now dressed in a sharp, stuffy and uncomfortable suit, was busy directing the workers to make sure everything was perfect. It was a very important coperate event, and any little imperfection could reflect poorly on RITA's reputation. Normally it would have been his father who did this, or one of his trustworthy assistants, but this year Mr. Rutherford decided to place the role solely on his son to test Willin's capabilities to plan and execute everything in a way that it would promote their company, while giving him a limited budget.

Fortunetely, Willin was more up to the task. The first thing he did with his budget was invest it in stocks, tripling his investment within a week's time. Then, he bought the services of the galaxy's best chefs, sampled their works then picked the best ones to cook with the finest ingredients available from every corner of the known universe. For the decor he hired Ylxzer Tzrlra, the Chroxian prodigy who had once designed an entire planet to work on the mansion to give it a makeover. Finally, for entertainment he booked the critically acclaimed singer Wailing Martia to serenade them during the party.

As Willin was busy discussing the table placement for the buffet with Ylxzer, his father Cornelius walked up to him while looking everything over critically. "How goes the planning?"

"It'll be done," Willin told him, "there was a slight problem with the Glorgin fruit spoiled when the transport had a storage malfunction during shipment, but I was able to buy several crates off from some of the nearby restaurants, all of them still fresh and of the highest quality."

"Glorgin fruit? That's quite an expensive delicacy..."

"I'm under budget Dad." Willin told him. "And besides, if I don't serve it during the peak of it's season, we'll look cheap and be known to serve others Vrudrin slop.

Mr. Rutherford nodded in approval. As hard as he tried, he could not find a single fault in any of Willin's work. "Very well. I hope you're ready for tonight. As well as the decorations are, it'll mean nothing if you act poorly."

"Don't worry Dad, I won't embaress you." Willin reassured him. "Now if you'll excuse me, Ylxzer and I need to discus the location of the centerpieces."

Later that night, the guests arrived and the manor was packed full of important guests. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, eating delicious and exotic foods, chatting with presidents, leaders and rulers from all over the galaxy and admiring the decor. Cornelius played both the role of host and businessman as he greeted his guests and talked stocks and trade at the same time to make good, strong connections that would benefit his company. Willin also moved around, greeting the various guests. There were even young men his age as well, the sons of the various guests and heir to their respective companies. They were all polite and friendly, but Willin knew behind those smiles were vicious animals, trained by their parents to wait on every word and tear him apart at the first sign of weakness. Anything Willin said could possibly be used to their father's advantage.

Too bad for them that Willin was skilled at playing the game.

Without giving away anything important, Willin managed to snag out information that could make over forty-eight billion galactic dollars in RITA's profits within a single month. It wasn't anything personal, but if those bastards wanted to play, then Willin would play back.

Not all of them were like that, however. There were a few that were genuinely nice and friendly and made civil conversations with him without any attempt to milk him for money. there wasn't really anyone in the room that he disliked.

"Well, well, well..." a voice spoke out loud, "it looks like the commoner has some taste after all."

...with one exception.

Gritting his teeth while putting up a fake smile, Willin turned around. "Good evening Victor, enjoying the party?"

Victor smirked as he looked down at Willin. At 5'5", he was two inches taller than Willin was and 30 lbs. heavier at 175 lbs, which in this day and age made him quite big for the modern human. Victor had red hair as bright as fire, the silky strands allowed to flow freely in natural locks of curls. Those green eyes were bright but cold and calculating. Tonight he was wearing a very expensive suit that could have fed an entire starving space quadrant for a year.

Victor looked up and gazed at the sparkling chandelier. "All of this is so lavish. How did you ever managed to afford all of this? Selling homemade lemonade on the streets?"

"Just a bit of smart investment." Willin replied, keeping his temper under control. Normally he wasn't a belligerant boy, but no one could get on a Rutherford's nerves like a Cunningham. "I see you haven't changed much since i last saw you, spending millions of dollars for a single silk tie."

"Why change perfection?" Victor gave his billion dollar smile which annoyed Willin so much. Victor Cunningham was the son of Vladimir Cunningham, the president and owner of Galactic Alliance Trade Enterprise, more commonly known as GATE, RITA's biggest competition. The Rutherfords and the Cunninhams families have been lifelong rivals for generations, the both of them butting heads as they fought for the title of the galaxy's most powerful company.

"So Willin, I've heard you've been doing well since we've last seen each other." Victor started the false pleasentries.

"Very." Willin answered. "And I've been hearing similar stories about you."

"Oh I highly doubt that." Victor laughed. "After all, we're not comparing coal and jewels."

"Oh i wouldn't go so far as to degrade yourself as a lump of coal." Willin said slyly.

Victor's eye made an almost unnoticeable tick from being outwitted. As if sensing his son's difficulty, Vladimir Cunningham walked up to them with an oily smile on his face. The family resemblence was uncanny, but unlike his son Vladimir had dark red hair like the color of blood, and green eyes that were a poisonious shade like the skin of a serpent. "Evening young Rutherford." He greeted. "What a splendid party this is. Did you really organize this even by yourself? Cornelius must've been quite daring to trust such an important occassion to a young boy."

"I have the uptmost confidence in my son's capabilities." Cornelius said out loud as he went to stand behind Willin.

Vladimir moved his attention onto his life long rival. "So, have you heard that the Marksoar Transport has decided to sign their new contract with GATE instead of RITA? I privately celebrate towards such a great success."

Instead of becoming angry, Cornelius simply grinned. "Yes, Marksoar Transport was a brilliant client...until reports of Blorgian slime contamination came in."

Vladimir suddenly lost his smile.

"I wish you the best luck with the lawsuits my dear old friend." Cornelius's smile broaden as he watched Vladimir's frown grew deeper.

Determined to find some sort of weakness, Vladimir turned back towards Willin. "So Willin, I've heard that your father has finally consented to allow you possession of a Geopet. It rather surprised me since your family has a reputation of being unable to keep them alive.

At that remark Cornelius stiffened up from the insult. "Willin has more than stepped up to the challenge of raising his Geopet. He's already shown a strong sense of responsibility in caring for it and still managed to excel in his studies."

"Is that so?" Vladimir looked down on Willin. "Well, it so happens that Victor has a Geopet as well, the rare and noble white crest, specially bred for my son."

"And what breed is your pet?" Vincet asked.

"It's a blue ear." Willin told him.

"A blue ear?" Victor looked at him in disgust. "You chose the cheapest breed? That's for the lowest of commoners."

"Well it comes to no surprise to me." Vladimir sneered. "After all, Willin's mother was a commoner herself."

It took everything both Rutherfords all they had not to attack him. A public display of violence would cause negative publicity and damage their business."Felix is a wonderful pet." Willin bragged. "He's not only strong and healthy, but he's smart and obediant too."

"Well then, I guess you wouldn't mind showing him to us then." Vladimir suggested.

Willin's mouth shut as he felt his father's eyes bore into the back of his head. Felix was defientely not the most presentable pet, not with his chipped fang and ungroomed fur. However, Willin had talked them into a corner, so now they had no choice but to comply.

"Very well then, if you'll follow me." Cornelius lead them towards the exit. Along the way, Vladimir managed to rope the interest of several other guests much to Cornelius's irk. As they exited the manor and were approaching Felix's little house, however, Vladimir stopped them. "Since you're showing off your pet, we should probably show ours as well. Victor?"

Putting his fingers in his mouth, Victor made a shrill whistle. At first nothing seemed to happen, but then a minute later a streak of silvery white emerged from around the manor and was quickly rushing towards them. The pet stopped just three feet away from Victor, standing on both of his hind legs and at attention like a soldier.

"This is my Geopet Regal." Victor declared boldly.

Regal was a suiting name for the pet. It's fur was long, sleek and beautiful, flashing silver as it caught the moonlight. It was very, very tall at 6'8" and 450 lbs. of rock hard muscles. The pet's arm was thicker than Willin's torso, biceps that would completely eclipse his head when flexed. Regal's pectorals were like two massive pillows, but far from looking soft and fluffy, it exuded steel hard power instead. The Geo's abdominals were the finest Willin had ever seen, each block of the eight pack so defined that he simpyl could not believe they could be natural. The geo's legs were thick and bulging, huge from constantly walking upright. The pouch holding the Geo's privates was simply bulging, a symbol of the ultimate breeding pet. The other guests that had followed them out made sounds of marvel at his beauty and appearence.

"Now then, let's see your pet." Victor goaded.

Determined not to back down, Willin approached his Geo's home. Inside of the pet house, Felix caught the scent of his master nearby. Quickly, he raced out of the house and prepared to pounce.

"Felix, down!" Willin's voice cut sharply.

Immediately Felix stopped in his tracks. His master had never taken that tone of voice with him before. Suddenly very sad and fearful, he dropped his head and looked down at the ground.

Seeing how his tone of voice had hurt his pet, Willin reached down and petted him. "Sorry boy, I didn't mean to yell at you. If it were up to me, I'd be playing with you, but Dad would kill me if I got my suit dirty."

Felix perked up a bit at his master's words. After he recieved some more reassuring pats on the head, he looked around Willin. When he saw Cornelius, he shied back a bit, afraid of another painful event.

Seeing the pet's hesitation, he reached down and gently tugged at his pet's collar. "It's okay Felix, he won't harm you. Come on now so you can meet everyone."

Still a bit reluctant, Felix slowly moved forward, eyeing the bad man that harmed him warily. As soon as he felt a bit more used to being around Cornelius without experiencing agony, he looked to the three newcomers. In front of him there were two human,s one older and one younger.

"My, he certainly looks the same amount as his price." Vladimir remarked.

Felix growled at him.

"Behave yourself." Willin chided his pet, though a part of him was glad that Felix recognized an enemy on first sight. It was as if Felix was truly a Rutherford now.

Finally Felix noticed Regal. His tail wagged as he saw his first Geo since the day Willin bought him. Walking over, he sniffed at the other pet. Instead of getting his scent, however, Felix recoiled back as foreign odors flooded his sensitive nostrils. Regal had been bathed and perfumed so much that Felix was unable to distinguish the other pet's personal distint smell. Still, that didn't stop him from trying to make friends with him. Wagging his tail, he tried to get Regal to play with him by jumping up and down in place. Regal looked down once at him, then completely ignored him as he resumed his vigil.

Despite his dislike of Victor, Willin couldn't deny the fact that Regal was one magnificent looking pet. However, one look at the Geo's face made him think otherwise. There were no playfulness or affection on the pet's face, only a cold, stoney expression, devoid of emotions. Despite the impressive appearence of Regal, Felix was the only one for him. felix was so cute trying to get Regal's attention that some of the guests 'awwed' at him, remarking about how cute the pet was.

The Cunninghams definetely didn't look at them the same way as they continued to make comparisons between the two.

"Just look at him father, he's all dirty and roughed up." Victor whispered loud enough so everyone could hear.

"Yes, nothing like our Regal." Vladimir nodded. "And look at the way he's acting, completely unsophisticated."

I'd rather have him acting like a puppy then a stiff like yours. Willin thought.

Victor walked up to Felix's home and peered inside. "You call this a home? Our Regal has his own room inside of our manor that's three times as big as this shack. And, is that training gear I see?"

"Yes, it is." He suppressed a slight surge of jealousy. The Cunninghams allowed their pet to live in their house, while his father adamantly refuses to let Felix take a step into their mansion. Oh, what he wouldn't give to have Felix close by, to sleep on his bed at night. Thoughts of using Felix as a cuddly pillow flowed through his mind, nuzzling the soft fur...

"Are you perhaps planning to enter your pet into a show?" Victor asked, breaking Willin out of his train of thought.

"As a matter of fact, i am." Willin said proudly.

"Well what a coincidence, so am I!" Victor grinned mischievously. "Regal is a clear champion for the next upcoming show, don't you think?"

A surge of owner's pride came over Willin. "Actually, i think Felix has a pretty good chance of stealing the show."

"So I guess I'll be seeing you in the Pluto Cup Geopet Show in a few months time so we can let the judges decide which is truly superior." Victor's grin turned positively evil.

Suddenly Willin was aware of the trap he had walked into. They had purposely been leading them to this! The Geopet show was actually a ruse for a competition between RITA and GATE. If Felix failed to win the competition, the Cunninghams would use their failure to tie it with their work, causing all of RITA's important clients to shift over to GATE! What began as a childish arguement about who had the better pet had now turned into a power struggle between their companies. Desperate for a solution, Willin glanced over at his father.

Cornelius looked very grim and displeased at the turn of events, but there was no backing down now, not in front of all the other guests. "I can't wait for it." He shot a look at Vladimir, who obviously orchastrated the entire plan. "Now then, let us retire back inside the manor, it's getting rather cold out here."

Victor and Vladimir both had faces of victory on their faces as they made their way back to the party, Regal trailing close behind them like an obediant servant.

As the guests walked back inside, Cornelius pulled his son to the side to talk to him in private.

"Listen Willin, because of you RITA's reputation is now on the line." He dove right into the heart of the matter. "However, we can use it to our advantage as well. I'll give you all the funding you need and get you anything you ask for. I don't care how much it'll cost, I don't care what you do, but you must win that competition at all costs!"

"Don't worry Dad, Felix and I can do it." Willin told him confidently.

Somehow, it didn't reassure Mr. Rutherford in the slightest.

[muscl4life]

Hey guys! Sorry for the short post, but I really wanted to get the story going, hope someone picks it from there. Cheers!

Best in Show.

Part 7 by muscl4life

Master Rutherford felt proud to be a man who always got up from bed at the crack of dawn, no matter how late he had slept, because he always wanted to feel ahead of his competitors and being the earlier bird always helped, exception made for today, however, because his son was already sat at the breakfast table with a whole presentation prepared, what was worse, Felix was inside the house comfortably sat at his son?s feet, when the youngster stood up to greet his father, the strapping Geo just acted as surprised as Cornelius.
?What does it ?? The father would continue but for the first time he noticed his son wouldn?t give up until he explained the purpose of all the preparation.

?Good morning, sir, or should I say, ?partner??? Willin?s face clearly showed his fresh excitement as he continued ?Welcome to the first meeting of the Rutherford Team towards the victory at the Pluto Cup? the young man announced as the nanocomputers projected a hologram with a series of tables and charts. Curiously, Felix seemed to have identified his own picture projected in thin air, which caused the strong puppy to sit on his muscular butt, almost like it could understand the conversation between its masters.

?I can see you?ve put a lot of thought into this?? Cornelius considered as he slowly took his place at the table, the food was his favorite and the briefings were already downloaded into his own control pad, clearly Willin had topped even the most zealous of his father?s assistants.

?Thanks for noticing sir, now if you allow me, what I have here is the basic diagram of the challenge we have ahead of us ? the situation is clearly not a walk in the park, but it ain?t impossible either, especially because we still have three main factors on our side: commitment, competence and capabilities, it?s just a matter of articulating these virtues around hard work and dedication.?

?Enough with the pep talk, Willin, cut to the chase will ya?? Cornelius demanded as he mentally revised the notes presented to him.

Willin couldn?t sleep the whole night, the words of his father still echoing inside his mind, Cornelius had indeed pledged his own word to make everything within his power to help Willin and his Geopet to obtain an unlikely triumph over Victor Cunningham and his Geopet Regal ? what had started with a simple family rivalry now gained much serious importance for GATE and RITA were the biggest intergalactic financial Empires and any dispute between them soon became a struggling effort to establish dominance over the so precious markets.

The heir to RITA, however, was not nervous, he was excited, because even if he always had been an easy going, tender tempered young man, the mere idea of excelling over the annoying and obnoxious young Cunningham easily brought up his most competitive and fiercest side, suddenly the brilliant mind of Willin had clearly traced all the current conditions; advantages and disadvantages between the Rutherford and Cunningham teams, not to mention all that had to be made.

?Well, sir, first item to be taken care is creating a suitable isle for our Geopet inside the main household, studies indicate that a caring environment is most likely to?? Willin would continue but his father just nodded his head.

?Contact our construction team, I can see you?ve designed a new area that would fit your own chamber and the Geopet?s gym, which seems very appropriate for me, I don?t care if the creature lives inside our house, as long it is totally restricted to the proper area.? Cornelius authorized.

?Alright, the next item, I?ve already contacted the Veterinarian Team to schedule an entire genetic makeover in Felix, he clearly has great potential but given the history of abuse he suffered in the past, it would be appropriated some aesthetical intervention, and I am asking the inhibitor systems to be removed.?

?Are you sure this is a wise attitude, we?ll have an enormous creature without any kind of restriction methods? It will be certainly dangerous? The father pondered, remembering the horrible earlier incidents, but Willin was firmly decided.

?Recent studies prove that instead of shocking and causing pain, positive feedback is the successful key in training Geopets, they will be much loyal and obedient if they are sure that nothing of good will come of being disobedient while they can have everything they want when playing by the rules we establish for them.?

Cornelius sighed ?Farewell, go ahead and let him run free? what really concerns me is the clear physical difference between those two Geos. Are you telling me that your Geopet has potential to physically match Regal??

?Frankly, sir, the Blue Ear is the cheapest and most common of the Geopet breeds, but it has a strong reason for that, they are the most resistant and the ones with best intelligence and physical records for the entire race, which allowed the breeders to reproduce them in such wide scale, just another detail ignorant people like Victor Cunningham and his father didn?t seem to notice?? Willin took a sip on his water and proceeded.

?I?ve also ran some researches on Regal and found out he is around 52 months old while Felix is barely an infant, the computer projection shows Felix would be Regal?s size in a few years even if we just let his own physiology by itself, however, the recent studies indicate that physical maturation can be accelerated with the right feeding and training routine, which clearly has been the way Victor had taken for his own pet, so even if we can?t physically reach Regal?s measurements, in terms of performance?we will be totally evened out??

The RITA?s CEO just grinned. ?Well, this seems logical but I am sure Victor and Vladimir won?t just sit and wait for the competition, they will just use all kinds of illegal supplements to enhance their contender?s uncanny physique??

?That?s their greatest mistake, father, Geopet?s physiology is already so enhanced they don?t need such help, instead, the effects of the illegal enhancers only hold back the true potential of a Geopet impressive genetic potential, in fact, this brings me to the next final item of our agenda.? Willin made a strategic pause because he knew his father was looking over it right now.

Cornelius?s eyes widened, he simply dropped his control pad at the table ?You can?t seriously expect me to collaborate with that?? Master Rutherford said looking intensely at his son?s eyes, but Willin seemed unafraid of him.

?I know you have personal reasons to disapprove him, but you were the one that when it comes to RITA?s interest personal opinions and dissensions cannot interfere, we have to make a clear judgment to make the right decision, and Yuri Eldritch is the greatest Geopet?s conoceur in the Galactic Federation, he still is till the present date the record holder of most intergalactic championships, not to mention he was the same geneticist who helped to develop most of the Geopet breeds like Blue Ear and White Crest, if anyone can help us to make most of Felix capabilities in order to beat that arrogant Regal ...?

Being the logical and cold hearted businessman he was, there had to be a very strong reason for Willin?s father sudden behavior ? and it always reported to the same old matter. Given his undeniable superior mental skills, Eldritch soon became one of the most influent geneticists, which also brought social ascension, despite the fact he was a born a commoner.

However, Yuri Eldritch always seem very proud of his social background, telling how his family struggled to survive in the Harvesting Colonies, working over 16 hours a day to grant the ?higher casts? their spoiled lifestyle. In fact, since his siblings had died very young, victims of the harsh conditions at the colonies, Eldritch always had a very strong family feeling, even though now that family was just composed by him and his beloved niece Rosalyn, the bastard child of Yuri?s unmarried youngest sister who died in labor, so the scientist raised his niece like she was the daughter he never had.

Cornelius and Rita met in a symposium organized in honor of Eldritch work, and soon both of them developed a very intimate relationship, which only made her uncle very suspicious, since Cornelius was known for being a womanizer playboy who dated the most beautiful and richest lasses in the Federation, and Rosalyn was just a commoner secretary, even though she was also remarkably known as a promising talent in Geopet training, following the steps of her own uncle.

So, when all of a sudden, Cornelius asked Rosalyn?s hand, Eldritch actually resisted for three long months, because he was convinced that the newly made CEO of RITA was probably using her in a explicit publicity strategy, so the public opinion would be convinced that the commoner?s most influent beacon have finally forgiven the company which have exploited his peers for so many years, but in the end Rosalyn had convinced her uncle that Cornelius was a decent man, whom she really loved, obviously the marriage was the greatest social event of the Galaxy, but it was far from being a fairy tale ending.

Over the years, Rosalyn had always played the peacemaker between her husband and her Uncle, Eldritch and Rutherford frequently exchanged public accusations, which only ceased during the time she got pregnant of Willin, and lasted all through the first years of the boy?s life, a peaceful time that Rosalyn hoped to last forever, but unfortunately only got worse after her death.

When Yuri Eldritch made a public announcement in which he formally accused Cornelius Rutherford of being responsible for the death of his niece, demanding an attitude from the authorities to start criminal persecution against the CEO, it actually created a galaxy wide commotion, although the investigations were inconclusive, until today Willin?s father is regarded to be guilty by many people.

?Son, I am not hiring the same man who publically accused me of being responsible for the death of my wife?? The father said in a very low tone as he prepared to leave the room, but Willin just held his hand in a very emotional gesture.

.
?Father?for years I have used the same thing against you, it is your only weakness and I know it always has a devastating effect over you, maybe this whole thing is for the best?it?s more than time for you and my great-uncle make up, I am sure he feels the same way, this would be mom?s desire you know that??

Cornelius looked at his son in disbelief, suddenly realizing the boy had acquired so much information on him, he was the one who could virtually crush the impervious reputation of Master Rutherford, yet he chose to get his cooperation in a honest way ? in many scenarios it could be considered a weakness, but Cornelius recognized that no matter how hard he tried to replicate his own personality in his son, at the end, it was Rosalyn?s traces that were stronger, and he knew pretty well that his deceased wife was the only person in the Galactic Federation able to convince him.

?If you really think it?s for the sake of our intents you can contact that man, but don?t expect me to be friends with that old crook, I will be locked in my chambers all the time he is around, you understand that, Willin?? Cornelius replied pressing his son?s hand firmly.

Willin smiled ?I actually have to tell you that Uncle Yuri had the same reaction when I contacted him, he accepted under the same conditions, so the arrangements will be made in order to accomplish your requirements, father.? Cornelius didn?t take the time to ask anything else, at the moment he just retreated of the room, because he realized it was all a perfect trap, because his son had already taken all the necessaries measures, he only meant to give Cornelius the fake sense power he always cherished so much, in more ways than one, the son also behaved much like his own father.

Willin rejoiced the moment, it was a personal victory for him above everything, his heart still pounding inside his hear so loud he felt his father could hear its beating, but the end everything went like planned, Uncle Yuri agreed to return into the Geopet business just to help his great nephew despite his feelings towards Cornelius, all the details were set up for conquering the victory over the Pluto Cup.

The muscular Felix seemed to notice his master?s happiness and stood up, firmly hugging Willin?s body from behind, easily lifting the teenager from the ground.

?Whoa! Put me down, boy?? Willin ordered surprised with the strength of his beloved pet, Felix happily obeyed, wiggling his tail like he expected some king of compliment, which the young Rutherford was more than willing to make, caressing behind those big blue fluffy ears of his friend.

?That was impressive, boy, just yesterday you were lifting less than half this weight, and we barely started your training, soon you will make Regal feel humbling weak?? Willin stroke a key at his control pad and the hologram of the hulking Geopet appeared right aside Felix, the Blue Ear just looked at it, his hairs ruffled up, and his tail stretched, Felix stood up and immediately copycatted the holographic Regal?s movements, almost like it understood that Willin was just about to teach him more about posing at the Geopet?s cup.

?Very good Felix! This is exactly what you have to do?? The young master was each day more impressed with the potential of his Geo, it was almost like he could actually understand everything he talked.

Three days later, the Rutherford Construction Team had already assembled everything that Willin had designed for the improvements on their household, which made the son?s isle the biggest part of the residence ? it not only had a very large room for Willin?s study and all his activities, it included a large area to accommodate Felix, including an internal self-cleaning dumpling area disguised as a natural garden in which he could relief himself but the biggest part was clearly the Gym/Laboratory facilities that would allow the Rutherford Team to accomplish all their ambitious plans ? state of the art equipment and an unlimited budget would grant the victory.

This morning, however, Willin and Felix had other business to attend, they went to pick up Uncle Yuri at the Intergalactic Hyperstation, his ship had already landed and the passengers were just following the admission routines. Felix had been properly bathed and brushed, his usually fluffy hair was now much cleaner and neater, although Willin actually preferred the funky style on his pet, but he really wanted to impress the Great Uncle he hadn?t seen in over ten years.

?Now, boy remember, no jumping over Uncle Yuri, just stay sat like that?? Willin petted his Geo who gladly wiggled its tail and purred in retribution for the display of affection. Suddenly, Felix? senses flared as he sensed someone approaching, which alerted Willin, just when two big burly arms hugged his body, squeezing very hard, but also very whole heartedly.

?Oh, my boy?how much you?ve grown?? Eldritch?s deep voice tone was also very powerful, Felix kept looking carefully, but he held still just like ordered, meanwhile Willin just bounced up and down as those strong arms shook him.

?It?s?nice?seeing?you?again?Uncle?Yuri? He managed to complete the sentence when the burly commoner finally put him back in the ground ? unlike the higher noble casts, Commoners are the ones who spend most of their lives working on the Harvesting Colonies and their harsh environments, which caused their bodies to be much burlier than their noble counterparts, although they are the same height, male commoners usually surpass nobles by at least 30 pounds of muscle, even being a scientist in his late 60?s Yuri Eldritch is till this day a great physical specimen, at 5?6? tall and weighing 235 pounds of solid muscles, impossible to be disguised under his baggy clothes. Yuri?s shoulder length white hair is neatly tied in a pony tail and his weird looking monocle give him the typical scientist appearance, although not many geneticists are so physically developed, especially because most of them are from the higher casts.

?Sweet Supernova, Willin, how old are you again?? Yuri asked hugging his grand nephew once again, which clearly made the youngster to blush.

?I am 16, Uncle??

?Well, you are surely taking over your mother?s great looks, I'm sure she would be so proud of you?? There was a clear emotional tone in the old man?s voice, so Willin thought really fast.

?Uncle Yuri, this is my Geopet Felix, come on boy, say hi to Uncle?? Willin ordered and Felix just came closer, gently wiggling its tail and lowering its head, Eldritch looked at the animal for a few moments, then at Willin, and back at Felix, this time the burly geneticist just grinned and picked the Geopet?s frontal paws, forcing him to stand tall.

?A Blue Ear? I wouldn?t ever imagine your father would let you have one of these, I'm sure he wanted you to get one of the noble breeds huh?? Yuri said as he petted Felix?s head, who just responded equally friendly.

?I chose Felix at the moment I?ve seen him, and there was any noble breed that would change my mind.? Willin explained as he also petted the proud Geo.

?That?s funny, from all the breeds I?ve developed Blue Ears have always my favorite, as well as your mother?s ? they are the most affable, the most intelligent, and most important, the ones with widest genetic variety, which means they are the ones with greatest potential for evolution.? Yuri said looking at Felix more carefully.

?Yeah, I?ve read your lectures, Uncle, although I have to say Felix was in a pretty bad shape when I got him, and you can see his teeth and fur are not the best thing?? Willin commented, but Eldritch just waved his head.

?Nothing that a few sessions at the rejuvenation chamber won?t fix, but I am really impressed at his muscular built, how old is he again?? Yuri asked squeezing the muscles on Felix limbs, and the Geo responded by standing still, like he was flexing his muscles for the scientist.

?He?ll be 5 months in a few days?? Willin responded.

?Only 5 months? Well, I don?t know what you have been feeding this boy, but it sure worked, if things continue like this, we might have a future Colossus here.? Yuri said and Willin momentarily drifted into a fantasy where Felix towered over all those massive Geos, walking right aside him with those huge muscles made even bigger.

Noticing that his great nephew was daydreaming, Yuri just grabbed the leash from Willin?s hand, which forced the teenager to snap back into reality ? ?You?ve taken off his inhibitors, already I can see you will be a great trainer just like Rosalyn, following my own beliefs she didn?t want her animals to be trained through pain?? Eldritch then easily performed a quick routine, guiding Felix in circular and slalom movements, just to test its coordination, Willin observed anxiously as the greatest expert examined his beloved.

?So, Uncle Yuri, do you think we can beat the Cunningham Team??

Yuri just stopped and looked seriously into Willin?s eyes, the monocle did weird sounds as the lenses adjusted to focus the image, and soon Eldritch smiled broadly.

?All I can say to you boy is that, if you?re saying your old man actually mounted such impressive support team for that competition, we?ll be able to build your already excellent Geo into the greatest champion the Galactic Federation ever seen!? The geneticist announced with great excitement.

Willin was very happy, but for one single moment, he noticed something really odd, it was Felix? expression, it was so happy, so bright, his head was almost nodding, on top of that, it almost seemed like Felix was grinning, for one second Willin had the clear impression Felix had not only understood everything uncle Yuri had said, he was indeed agreeing, like the athlete following the instructions of his coach ? another look from Felix passed a feeling of confidence onto Willin, almost like the Geopet was trying to say something to his master, and the message couldn?t be any clearer:

?Yeah?let?s kick their butts!?


(to be continued)

[Muscle_Knight]

This is turning into a brilliant story, don't stop everyone!! I really can't wait to see where this goes!

[MysteriousMist]

I wouldn't really call that post short, but I guess it varies from person to person. Still, whatever works.

And I'm a bit too limited in time to really consider starting my own story. I've got the edge of an idea, but it's still in the concept phase, so it'll be a while before I even consider something like that.

Also, sorry for taking a comparitively long time to write. I seem to get distracted relatively easily. Regardless, here's my shot at the next section.
_____________

"...Eight... nine... and ten. Okay, boy." Felix gently lowered the bar down to his knees, holding it gently. Its weight was just past that of modern human records, and though he had strained with it before, Felix was now using the weight as a warm-up. Willin was facing him, gently holding the bar along with him. While it would've been impossible for Willin to do anything to the bar himself, he felt fine with spotting Felix through his excercises, helping him through them whenever the pet needed it.

The two of them had been training furiously. While Willin had spent plenty of time with Felix before, now that it had become a serious task for him, he spent nearly every moment he had with Felix.

Not that either of them minded it. The two of them always seemed to be getting a bit closer to one another, Felix always trying to tag along as Willin walked anywhere, and always waiting outside for him whenever he had to a tutor, or have a small meeting for some business plan or explanation.

Training was a different experience as well. Though Willin had been trying to train Felix before, he always did it casually, the two of them enjoying the time and moving slowly. While they still worked happily, Felix's playfulness seemed to have been tempered with a focus that wasn't there before. Whenever he was in the middle of an excercise, he went through it carefully, and whenever Willin tried to teach him a trick or lead him through some obstacle, he always seemed to listen intently.

"Alright, boy. I'm going to increase the weight by ten pounds, okay?" Willin waited for a moment, getting a small nod from Felix as he let go of the bar to tap a couple of buttons on the panel. He didn't really know why he was used to getting that type of response from Felix by now. It was always vague enough that Willin thought Felix could just be responding to his voice, but he didn't think about it too often.

Willin returned to the bar, getting a firm hold onto it as he stood facing Felix. "Okay, boy. Another set of ten curls. Ready?"

Willin shifted his grip so his hands were touching Felix's. Felix took it as a sign to start, and began raising the bar upward, gently bending his arms.

"One..."

Felix let the bar peak before lowering it to his legs slowly. Breathing outwards, he began to move it upwards again, his biceps gently rising.

"Two... Three..."

He continued to go through the motions slowly, deliberately making sure that his arms felt every movement, making sure that his body recognized every twitch as the rose again.

"Four... Five... Six..."

His pace quickened slightly as he became more certain of the motion, his breathing synchronized with the rise and fall of the bar. His mouth was closed, only his nose taking in air as he worked.

"Seven... Eight... Nine..."

Down to the last rep, Felix brought the bar up to his chest, letting it press there gently before lowering it to the ground again, exhaling with a bit of a growl.

"And ten. Nice job, Felix." Willin let go of the bar, letting Felix place it onto the ground. "You can take a few minutes for a break to rest a little, and then we'll increase the weight again, okay?"

Willin scratched the spot behind Felix's ears, having to stretch a bit to reach it. Felix closed his eyes, his throat rumbling as he took it. After a bit, Willin let go to check on the bar, making sure that it's weight was holding steady and getting it ready for the next set when he was interrupted by Felix pouncing onto him, pushing him to the floor, gently pinning his arms and licking all over his face.

"Felix! This isn't a rest, is it, boy?" Willin laughed as his face was moistened by Felix's tongue, not really trying to move him off. By now, it was nearly impossible for him to move Felix at all, but he didn't really find it necessary. Felix had him held to the ground, but he wasn't uncomfortable there. In fact, it always surprised Willin that he hadn't ever felt any real weight from Felix whenever he was on. His measurements had shown that he has constantly been getting heavier as he grew, pounds streaming onto his body as every week, even every day went by. And his appearance backed it up.

His body had been great even before had begun training, but now that he had started working on it, it was becoming spectacular. His pecs hung out from his body, almost always standing in place as he moved. His abs had clear lines defining them, his eight-pack clearly showing even through his thick fur. Even as he gently pressed against Willin, his arms hinted at his strength, bulging outwards even as he had them gently bent, not even trying to use them as he clinged onto his arms. His legs brushed against Willin's sides, each of them supporting his body as he licked. His fur had started to regain its ragged appearance from all of the work they had done, all of the effort and sweat the had put into their training. Though Willin had considered getting his fur properly groomed more regularly, he had eventually decided against it, since Felix always seemed more comfortable without it.

Willin smiled as Felix moved off of him after a couple of minutes, his breath calming a bit from the laughter he had given. "All right, boy. If that's how you want to spend your breaks, then you can spend them that way. Right now, though, let's move on, okay? Uncle Yuri's going to be here to check on you soon, and I want to get you a bit pumped today before he takes a look at you."

Felix gave an appreciative bark as he moved to the bar again, gently picking it up and waiting for Willin as the weight began increasing again. The advice from his uncle came regularly, but it was difficult for him to find a good time to get it.

While Yuri was happy to help Willin, he still didn't have anything to say to his father. Not that Cornelius was trying to give him a chance. He often locked himself in his rooms, working on his dealings and trying to run his business. Meanwhile, Yuri had always avoided that particular section of their home, living in a seperate wing of their mansion.

Unfortunately, both of them had a marked interest in checking up on Willin and Felix. Cornelius had made it a habit to question Willin, not just on Felix, but on all of his other studies. He had seemed to avoid talking about Willin's comments about him earlier, never giving him a chance to speak about it. If Willin requested something for Felix, he quickly agreed with it. If the conversation drifted a bit loose, he would talk to Willin about whatever his studies were, or how his investments were looking, or whatever formal events they would need to prepare for. He was determined not to give Willin a chance to speak, and he seemed to keep his interest towards Felix professional, even speaking of letting Yuri train him full-time if it was necessary. However, Willin never gave him a reason to make it necessary. He continued to put all of his effort into his work, making sure that he would be able to spend time with Felix.

And while he was able to deal with his father during the numerous meeting that they had, it made things difficult to try to arrange. Since his uncle and his father had refused to even see each other, it meant that he had to try to shuffle some schedule so that his uncle could actually supervise the training process. His father also wanted to check on it, often making sure that Willin was starting to strictly train whenever the time came, instead of the usual play that the two had in their free time. Though he didn't stay long, it meant that Yuri could only come after they were in the middle of it, and they were determined not to waste any time waiting.

"Good job, Willin. His form looks excellent today. What's the weight set at?" Yuri walked into the weight area, looking at the two. The training space had enough individual equipment for every variation of every exercise they could think of, to the point where it even had a large track, pool, a rather large gravity field, and seperate sections for various simulated terrains from all of the common environment types. However, its individual rooms made the area a bit difficult to navigate at times.

"It's ten pounds more than his top one last week, uncle. We're going to add another five afterwards." Willin said it with pride, Felix seeming to pause for a moment in the middle of his lift. However, when Willin turned back to him, wondering exactly what happened, the bar was going back up.

"Ten pounds more right now? At this rate, Felix will be ready for the contest long before he's fully grown. You've sure been taking good care of him, Willin."

"Felix has been working hard, too. Haven't you, boy?"

Felix gave a small nod, though his face didn't seem to really relax. His movement seemed to slow a little as he chose to finish his set before placing the bar on the floor again, panting a little bit.

"Both of you have been working hard at this. You've got a excellent specimen for a pet, Willin. And, from the looks of it, he's happy with who he's got, too."

Felix was still on two legs, standing behind Willin and resting his head on top of Willin's as he spoke to his uncle. Willin reached up to scratch his ear, careful not to move his head too much as he let Felix rest there. "Yeah, he's always been great to be with. He might want to actually rest after training, though. He's supposed to need it for recovery, right?"

"Normally, yes. But if he's still able to move after everything he's been doing, then he's probably getting enough rest. You don't have to worry about that. As long as he's able to improve the next time he trains, then overtraining shouldn't be an issue."

"That's a relief. I was worried that he might be training too hard. I mean, he's been going at it every day, and he still seems energetic when I head to sleep. I mean, he doesn't really seem to want to sleep when I do. "

Yuri seemed a bit surprised at it. "What? If that's the case... How often does Felix actually sleep?"

Felix moved off of Willin's head, looking curiously at Yuri after hearing the odd tone of his voice. Willin continued holding his palm on Felix's head as he responded. "Um... Not sure. I think he at least gets a couple of hours when I'm asleep, and he probably sleeps a fair bit when I'm busy, but unless he's really good at waking himself up when he needs to..."

"And he's still active? If that's the case, it's no wonder that you are a bit concerned about it." Yuri shook his head, trying to think about what was possible. "If he's only sleeping a few hours every day, it's not nearly enough compared to what he should be getting, though. Even if he's improving, if his body doesn't get to fully recover, it will still become a bit of an issue. But the fact that he's capable of functioning well despite that..."

"Well, he's been running around while he was waiting for me, so I guess that he's doing okay."

Yuri shook his head as he thought. "I will do a bit of checking on my notes and on Felix's scans. You've a baseline scan before you started today, right?"

"Yeah, I always take one before we start."

"Good. I'll try and find out if there's anything different. For now, both of you should get some rest."

"Both of us?"

"I've seen your schedule when we had to set it up. You've been working on less sleep than usual, as well. Your dad might be used to it, but you should at least get a normal amount of sleep. I wouldn't want my nephew to end up like that, would I?" Yuri gave him a smile, patting him on the shoulder as he spoke. "You two could both use the rest, in any case. One day's not going to hurt Felix, in any case."

"If you think so, uncle. Come on then, Felix." Willin started making his way out of the room, though Felix soon ran a bit ahead of him, dragging his arm as the two of them returned to Willin's chambers.

As soon as they entered, Felix dropped Willin near his bed, making a mess of the sheets as he pushed Willin on before circling around the floor at his feet. Willin smiled at him, standing up to push his sheets aside, but sitting back on, watching Felix continue for a while.

"Felix, you heard Uncle Yuri, right? We both have to rest today."

Felix turned to look at Willin, wondering what he was doing, whining a little in confusion. Normally, he'd pull into his sheets when he had to sleep, and let him continue running.

"I know you're energetic, boy, but you have to rest, too. I want you to be at your best, and you're not going to be that good unless you get to rest, too."

Felix seemed to understand, curling up a bit as he settled into the floor and closing his eyes. Willin sighed, giving Felix's arm a gentle yank, shifting him slightly and alerting him. Felix picked himself up, slowly following Willin as he sat back onto his bed.

"You don't have to sleep on the floor, Felix. I know you're used to it, but you at least had a few blankets and pillows when you were on your own. I always thought that you'd been on my bed, though. I mean, there's enough room for you, and I always thought you'd been up here after you were done running around."

Felix purred rather quietly, gently holding his arm around Willin's as he spoke.

"If I had known you'd been on the floor, I would've gotten you something, at least. It's not exactly the most comfortable spot available around here. I guess you're sticking close to me, though, aren't you?" Willin gently gave Felix a gentle stroke along his back, scratching along his body just enough to get a warm, contented purr.

"But, really. The best spot's probably on my bed. I don't mind sharing it with you, Felix. It's not like it wouldn't be comfortable for me, too. After all, you've been close to me plenty of times when we've been playing. If you're comfortable then, I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be now."

Felix's expression seemed to pull away from Willin for a moment, his head turned, just a hint of something visible on his cheeks. However, in a second, he moved to the bed, climbing on top of the pillow, curling up there, his body unable to fit just there and taking up a fair chunk of the top of the bed as he settled in, pushing the sheets aside.

Willin moved under his sheets, gently pulling them over his body as he found a good spot next to Felix, smiling at his pet, giving his body a scratch as he settled in. He shifted slightly, leaning the back of his head onto Felix's body. He was a bit worried that it would be uncomfortable for Felix, but judging by the purr that he had gotten...

"Yeah. This spot's good for me, too."

[redkage]

Gah, sorry for the delay. Been really busy with a lot of things. Here's a short post, but I hope it's enough to spike some interest.

As if by some sort of internal clock, Felix woke up at exactly three hours before Willin does. Looking down at his master, the Geo found Willin curled up against his body like a puppy. It had been several days since Willin insisted Felix sleep with him on the bed, and now it felt as if they had been doing this forever. Slowly, to not disturb his master?s rest, Felix slipped off the bed. A part of Willin noticed the absence and he curled up even tighter. He always looked so lonely like this that Felix was tempted to slip back in, but he had something to do.

First he went off to his private corner to relieve himself. He had recently gotten a new pouch so he didn?t feel constricted anymore when he put it back on. Once he was finished, he went to the door, grabbed the handle and opened it. He went straight for the gym, treading carefully to not make any noise that would wake anyone up. Once he was there, he got to work immediately.

Felix didn?t need Willin?s instructions to know what to do; he had memorized his workout program. First he ran as fast as he could on the indoor track to warm up and get his heart rate up. When he felt it was enough, he went straight to the weights to lift. The special gravitational bars were all set at the lightest weight after use, but Felix simply went to the touch pad and punched in the weight he wanted as easily as his master could. He even purposely entered ten pounds more weight than what Willin had last made him do. With that set, he got into position, grabbed the bar and pumped it up and down. Mentally he counted out the reps until he reached his goal before setting the bar back, catch his breath for half a minute, then proceeded to do another full set.

After he did the correct number of sets in his program, he moved onto the next exercise. All that training, form and methods were ingrained into his body. His muscles burned and he felt some discomfort, but he bore with it and pressed on. The pain was nothing, the pain was nowhere near as bad as when Willin?s father had shocked him near death, this pain was a good pain, a sign that he would get bigger, stronger. Willin wanted, no, needed him to become bigger and stronger, and as his loyal Geo he would do anything for him.

For Willin, Felix would endure anything.

Finally done with his late night workout, Felix carefully wiped his sweat from the equipment then tossed the towel into the hamper. With everything cleaned up, he made his way back to Willin?s private quarters. He peeked into Willin?s bedroom, saw his master still asleep, then pulled back out. Willin wouldn?t wake up for some more time. Instead of crawling back into bed and risk waking Willin up, Felix fetched the remote, plopped down on the carpet and turned on the hologram display. Upon turning it on, he immediately set the volume at the upmost minimum so that only his sharp Geo ears could hear it. Using his paw, Felix flipped through the channels until he reached the cartoon frequency.

?Wonderdog to the rescue!? A cartoon animal said proudly as he flew up into the sky.

Felix tail wagged as he saw his favorite show, the Adventures of Wonderdog, was on. He loved how an ordinary pet had become a super hero to save his master from all sorts of dangers.

Could he too, become a hero for his master?

He watched the show for an hour and a half before he switched it off and returned the remote to where he found it. It was about time for Willin to rise, so he went to greet his master. Padding back into the bedroom, Felix jumped onto the bed and proceeded to give Willin a very wet wake up call.

?Mmm, gah, s-stop, haha!? Willin laughed as he felt Felix lick his face over and over. ?I?m awake, I?m awake.? He sat up and looked at his geopet. He didn?t know why, but every time he woke up and saw Felix, he could?ve sworn the pet was pumped up and bigger than before he went to sleep. ?Good morning boy. Did you have a good night?s sleep??

Felix barked and wagged his tail.

?Are you ready for another day of training together?? Willin asked him.

Felix barked again and his tail wagged faster.

After he got cleaned up and dressed, Willin made his way down to the dining room to eat breakfast with his father. Cornelius was already up and drinking his second cup of rich imported red coffee while focused on the mid air visual display of the galactic news.

?Good morning sir.? Willin greeted him as he sat down, and his food was teleported directly in front of him. Breakfast was one of the rare moments he got to see his father out of his room since Uncle Yuri tended to sleep in late. Felix didn?t seem to happy about this, the initial trauma was still etched in his mind, but the Geo soon started to accept the fact that Cornelius was there to stay. Willin watched as Felix gave a bark towards his father, almost as if he were making a polite greeting, before going to his corner where his own breakfast was beamed in, a special diet Yuri had tailored to bring out Felix?s growing potential.

Cornelius glanced over at the Geopet. He was still unnerved that the fate of RITA rode with such a scruffy looking animal, though he had to admit Felix was developing beyond his initial expectations. Perhaps with some grooming and obedience training, Felix might become something much more presentable.

Once they were all done eating, Cornelius looked over at Willin. ?Today you?ll take your pet to the groomers.?

?The groomers?? Willin looked up. ?But?I don?t think he needs-?

?As long as he is residing in this household, he represents the Rutherford family name.? Cornelius said impatiently. ?Which means if he appears to be a dirty, mangy mutt, it?ll make us appear to be slobs as well. Or should I replace him with a more domesticated animal??

?I?ll take him right away sir.? Willin said quickly, jumping out of his chair and leaving the room with Felix in tow.

With a long sigh, Cornelius shook his head, the corner of his lips curving upwards slightly. ?He certainly didn?t get that from my side of the family, Rosalyn??

Roughly an hour later Willin and Felix were riding in their hover-car heading towards the groomers. As always, Felix was more than happy to watch the passing scenery go by, his tail wagging at the chance to see the outside world. Meanwhile, Willin was busy trying to salvage what was left of that day?s training schedule. This unexpected trip to the groomers was certainly going to push their routine back, and Uncle Yuri would surely be peeved to see the trainee pampered up. Perhaps that was why his father had ordered them to groom Felix, to purposely upset Yuri.

Suddenly Felix barked, and Willin looked up. ?What is it boy?? He asked.

Felix whined as he looked outside the window. The hover car was just traveling over the main bridge. Far underneath them was the Trunove Chasm, a deep, rocky canyon with many twists and turns. The canyon had natural magnetic fields that disrupted most electronic devices, so it was long considered a Dead Zone. However, since the bridge was built several stories above it they were relatively safe. To ensure no car could accidentally fall off, a force field was installed along the sides of the bridge to protect them further.

?It?s alright boy, just ignore it.? Willin reassured Felix. ?We?ll be in the city in a moment.?

Felix continued to whine and move around restlessly, nearly panicking. It was if he sensed something was going to-

Suddenly the hover car lurched violently. Crying out, Willin braced himself and opened the com-link to the driver. ?What?s going on??

?I don?t know sir!? The driver replied. ?There?s some sort of massive electro-magnetic interference! It?s causing the entire bridge to waiver.?

The car gave another massive lurch. Felix was barking out loudly as Willin desperately tried to find something to hold onto.

?Oh shi-?

The car jerked to the side so hard it sent both Willin and Felix crashing into the door. Under the weight and force of both boy and geo, the door burst open. Willin, whose head struck the top of the car before flying out briefly saw nothing but open air between him and the deep, dark chasm below him before he blacked out.

At that exact moment, the force field flickered off due to the magnetic interference. Felix howled as they were launched out of the car and off the side of the bridge, plummeting down to what was their impending doom.

No, he wasn?t about to let things end like this! Wonderdog would never give up, even if the situation was dire! By some miraculous feat, Felix managed to move over to Willin?s unconscious body and press the emergency button he always carried around his wrist. Suddenly the two of them were wrapped in protective foam that would absorb even the greatest of impacts, just as they vanished into the depths of the Trunove Chasm.

* * *


??.in?.Willin?.Willin!? A familiar voice called.

Willin groaned as he slowly woke up. His head ached and his body felt battered.

?Willin! Willin! Oh please, be okay!?

?Who?s there??? Willin moaned as he opened his eyes.

Standing above him was Felix looking down at him. They were in some sort of rocky terrain, with large looming cliff faces on both sides. The sky had already turned dark and the stars were just beginning to come out. To the side there was a small but cozy fire going.

The moment pet saw his master was awake he let out a breath of relief. ?Thank goodness you?re okay Willin!? Felix said, as clear as day. ?I was so afraid you were hurt.?

Part 10
by muscl4life

Cornelius Rutherford’s control was just admirable, it had only been 40 minutes since his assistants reported about the incident at the Bridge over Turnover Chasm, the CEO immediately assumed the leading role over the mission to locate Willin, given the strong magnetic fields of the area, any GPS data system was scrambled, although even after spending hours calibrating the machinery, there was still no sign of Willin’s bio-chip, besides, according to the report of the driver the boy and his GEO fell directly into the Dead Zone, a 600 feet high freefall, to make things even worse, the Chasm’s strong magnetic fields prevent any electronic equipment from functioning, which means that searching parties will need to work solely from the ground.

Even after being presented to such worrying facts, Cornelius remained calm as he always seemed under the hardest situations, even when he lost the most precious person on his life, his beloved Rosalyn, his strong, controlled personality remained, which caused many people to wonder whether he really loved his wife, including Yuri Eldritch. However, deep inside the rocky fa?ade, there were the muffled screams of a worrying father, someone desperately looking for any sign of his only child, his son – at the same time, that was the part of Cornelius’ mind that fed his hope to find Willin alive.

Inside his personal studio, Cornelius talked to several different units at the same time, although the authorities assured him to send a searching party as soon as possible, Cornelius gently refused the help to assign a special team from RITA’s best expeditionary forces, of course that was immediately reported over the intergalactic media as an act of despair, even though RITA’s agents were indeed the most well trained and experienced agents, prepared to endure the harsh environments like Dead Zone over Turnover Chasm.

“I don’t care if the investors demand an explanation about my decision to send Team 56 to the Chasm, I am the CEO imbued of such power, the location of RITA’s future leader qualifies as an emergency situation under my discretionary control, just tell them to learn more about the contract before signing it.” Cornelius dismissed the call as he noticed the incoming request for private video-conference.

“What did you find about the car?” He asked at once. At the other side of the video-conference reported a private investigator, with expertise in sabotage and terrorist attempts, Cornelius was galactic-wise known by his hunches – but this time he really wanted his guess to be wrong.

“You were right sir, the magnetic fields of the Chasm weren’t the real cause for the incident, the vehicle that carried your son was equipped to overcome any interference, what’s worse, we have found that not only the magnetic protection was disconnected, the auto-pilot function had been sabotaged as well, we have also ran a toxicology test over the driver and noticed his serotonin levels were extremely high, which indicates he might have been doped.”

“Thanks for your help; proceed with the investigations, but keep them secret, I don’t anyone to know my son had been the victim of such coward act.” Cornelius disconnected, took a deep breath, he had wished to be wrong, but deep down he knew it had to be sabotage, what’s worse he already knew who was behind it. However, he couldn’t let his anger take over now; Willin depended on his steel nerves to be located.


“So Willin’s car was sabotaged huh? Those GATE bastards are really that desperate to win the Pluto Cup…” Yuri said carrying some kind of new gadget on his hands.

“Get out of here before I got you expelled from my house!” Cornelius’ temper flared, that was the worst possible moment to confront Eldritch and his accusations.

Yuri just shook his head “Like your puny guards would be able to handle me, besides I am not moving until I find my nephew, just face it Cornelius – we are both a couple of stupid old men, we both did stupid things in the past, out of anger and pain, we both lost Rosalyn because we were just too stubborn to admit she needed us to work together, now it’s Willin who needs us to work together, so tell me, isn’t it time to start cooperating?” Eldritch asked looking intensely into Cornelius’ face.

“Yes, the car’s been sabotaged and the driver doped, but it doesn’t matter now, we have to find Willin before it’s too late…” That was the closest from an apologize anyone ever got from Cornelius Rutherford, and Yuri seemed quite satisfied with his accomplishment.

“You are right, and I’ve been working on the way to find him.” Yuri said as he placed the small machinery over the desk.

“I’ve got the strongest equipment to find Willin’s bio-chip signature, but the Dead Zone is radar-proof, the magnetic field scrambles the readings…” Cornelius was interrupted as he noticed a strong beeping on the screen, the machinery Yuri’s developed automatically connected with the studio computers and produced a tridimensional map of the Chasm.

“The magnetic field scrambles radars, but it can’t affect other kind of location methods, I am using the satellites to locate for a specific biologic reading, that of a Blue Ear Geopet, their genetic signature is so unique and complex that it can be actually picked from absolutely every other life form.”

“But…it only locates the Geo, what about Willin?” Cornelius asked, without even realizing the look of concern in his face, the burly old man just came closer and touched the right shoulder of his formerly enemy.

“Believe me, the kind of bond between Willin and Felix is by far stronger than anything machines can read, under dangerous conditions a Geo’s strongest instinct is to protect his master, I believe Felix had saved the kid, I know you’ve given up on faith when Rosalyn left us, but it’s time to start believing again.” Eldritch said as he hugged Cornelius tightly, and for his surprise the CEO hugged him back, the warm tears rolling down his rugged cheekbones.

“Felix? I-I mean…h-how…oh no…I hit my head so hard I've started to hear things.” The boy said as he managed to sit.

There was a loud sound, a mixture of laughter, the purr of a tiger and the barking of a dog. “You’re not hearing things, Master…it’s me..Felix, I’ve talked with you before, don’t you remember?”

Truth to be told, Willin never forgot that night, he just credited the improbable event to his overwhelmed senses, although Felix’ voice sounded much different, if before it was something childish, like a kitten purring, it now sounded much deeper and stronger, at the same time it didn’t quite sound clear, almost like Willin’s voice a few years ago when he was going through his puberty.

“Felix, you are talking to me aren’t you? You are REALLY talking to me!” Willin repeated it over and over, trying to accept the unlikely fact as the purest truth.

The enormously muscular Geo just came closer and hugged his master so tenderly, smelling his cheeks and leaking his face. “Yes, Willin, I can talk to you…I know you humans don’t think Geo’s can talk…but I just can, I hope you don’t hate me for this like…the other Master.”

Willin realized that his relationship with the huge Geo could actually reach another level. “My father can be quite hard sometimes, but believe me, he’s actually growing fondler of you…but don’t worry, he’ll never hurt you with the shocking….I am so sorry if I let you suffer like this…”

Felix just hugged Willin once again “You never hurt me, Master, you took me home and gave me so many good things…”

Willin was so overwhelmed about the recent facts he almost forgot about the incident which lead into that moment. “Oh my god…the car…what happened? How did we get here…” The Rutherford’s heir felt his bruises and the condition of his clothing.

“The car…there was a weird smell…there was something wrong with the human driving it, then I heard some weird noises…and then he lost control, you hit your head pretty strong, then you fell into the big hole…I couldn’t let you die…” The Geo’s big eyes never seemed so beautiful to Willin, the boy just hugged him.

“You saved my life, Felix…”

“Only because you saved mine too, Willin, but now that you woke up we have to get out here…I can hear many animals around, they think we are dinner” Felix simply took his master and adjusted him to sit on his neck. The huge muscles of the pet never felt so welcoming and protective before, suddenly Willin noticed he actually gained a new friend, because Felix was not a regular pet, he could understand things, he could express his feelings, he was a being…who deserved to be respected.

The massive GEO easily traveled over the Chasm, using his enhanced senses to track the best way back into the human cities, and all the time he carried his beloved master on his back. The journey back into civilization was pretty long, because they would have to climb the rocky walls back into the city, the other option was exiting the Chasm through the valley until reaching the delta of Deep River, which would take several days to accomplish.

“Felix…aren’t you getting tired? I can climb for my own, I’ve done some rock climbing at the Academy” Willin tried to give his huge friend a rest, but Felix just smiled.

“This is pretty easy, besides, I can use it to train…we still need to win the Cup…” Felix replied as he advanced through the rocks easily crunching the rocky walls, inserting his sharp claws into them, like they were made of foam. “You…just relax and hug my neck…we’ll be there in a moment.”

“Wow…I didn’t know the training meant so much to you…I mean…you always seemed happy to perform the exercises, but we don’t need to do them if you don’t want…” Willin felt like he’d been imposing his own will over his Geo, and now that he can actually express his feelings, it would be better to check everything with Felix before continuing on that personal crusade to beat GATE at the Pluto Cup.

“Are you kidding me? I LOVE working out with you, the white haired human is very nice too, he helps me growing bigger, and I have to grow bigger for you.” Felix said as he continued climbing.

“Growing for me? Why do you feel like that?” Willin asked curious.

“Because you need me and I need you…” Felix said this and went quiet, even for a human that statement already explained so much that no further words were needed, but Willing couldn’t wait much longer until he talked to his pet again.

“What are we gonna tell my father? He’s gonna freak out once he finds out you can talk?”

Felix smirked “I’d be happy to tell him a thing or two…”

Willin just gulped “Felix…please…I don’t want you and my dad fighting again…please…we can’t let anyone else knows about this…I mean…”

“I got it, Master, I can’t speak when your father is around…I’ve felt this way too, but…what about your Uncle, he knows so much about me and my brothers…”

To his master’s surprise, Felix couldn’t just talk; he was actually pretty wise as well. “Of course…Uncle Yuri…he might help us to figure out how it was possible for you to talk…”

“I didn’t mean that, master…” Felix said as he continued climbing the rock wall.

“Huh?”

“I meant that I could talk to your Uncle so he can help me grow faster…that training is too easy, and you are always so nice with me that you don’t let me work really hard…I need more… I want more…food, harder exercises, I need to grow faster and bigger, if he can hear what I have to say, maybe he can help me in a best way right?”

“erm…right…but why do you feel that you have to grow so fast, Felix?”

“Because…then…no one will make fun of you because I'm small…”

Willin gulped, he remembered the scene with those arrogant Cunninghams and their so-called noble Geo Pet Regal, and how he acted so harshly on Felix because he just wanted to play.

“Felix…I am sorry for that too…” Willin started but the pet just calmed him.

“You humans always say that…but it doesn’t actually mean anything if you keep doing the same things…and you never hurt me Willin, you are my Master and I need to keep all harm from you, all the pain, I am here to keep all sadness from you, because you did the same for me.”

************************************************** *************************************************

Cornelius yelled at the computer link “I don’t care if you have to enter the Chasm by foot, I need my son to be rescued and this is a direct order!” Right at his side, Yuri talked with his fellow scientists “What we need is one solar powered vehicle that doesn’t work on too complicated technology…”

“Wow…I would never think you two would actually work together…” Willin said as he and Felix entered the studio, all dirty and sweat. The massive Geo and his much smaller master were safe and sound at last.

“WILLIN!” Cornelius threw his mind link gadget away and ran to hug his son, showing an unseen affection, he kissed the dirty cheeks of his son, not bothering about the fact his perfectly clean clothes were now contaminated. “Oh I thought I’d never see you again…”

The teenager welcomed such unexpected display of love, hugging his father back as their tears rolled down their faces. When Cornelius noticed he had broken his very first rule for success in life, he also realized that he didn’t mean to be heartless in order to obtain respect.

“H-how did you get here?” the father asked surprised.

“Felix saved me, he pushed the emergency button on my clothing and then he carried me on his back while he climbed the rock walls…he saved my life today father…” Willin reported so proud of his friend.

“I told you to have faith on the bond between a Geo and his master…” Yuri added as he hugged his great-nephew. “Blue Ears are the most loyal and the most resourceful Geos of them all!” Eldritch said as he reached to scratch the area behind Felix’ ears, even though the creature indeed had to lower his head.

Cornelius looked at the Geo, there was a weird intensity on his expression, the Master of Rutherford’s mansion just approached dared to place his hand on the massive furry shoulder of Felix and gently petted him. “That is indeed a fine Geo, I guess he was the best option after all…”

The CEO then took a deep breath and assumed his usual stance “Willin, we have to endure lots of interviews, people will want to know what happened, and you have to look presentable, so let your uncle take care of Felix while you go freshen up and rest before the press conference of tonight.”

Willin smiled “Yes, father” He knew that his position required such rituals, the son of the galaxy’s most important man had gone through a near-death experience. He just excused himself and followed Yuri out of the studio, there, he silently held Eldritch’s hand and motioned the scientist to follow him to his room.

“I know you probably have a lot of questions, boy, your father and me are not best friends in the world yet, but…I guess we’ll get along.” Yuri started, imagining that would be the reason for Willin’s curiosity, however the teenager just waved his head.

“No uncle…what I need to ask you is…erm…well…I need…” Willin stumbled across the words, how come he could ever say this without sounding crazy?

“What is it, kid? Don’t worry I'm here to help…”Yuri grinned, then he felt the huge paw of Felix grabbing his hand.

“I need to grow bigger, much bigger!” Felix said in his powerful tone while Yuri’s jaw dropped.

One of these days, I’m going to take less time than half of a month to get a part finished.

-----

The interviews only took a few minutes to begin flowing in. The search that Cornelius had organized had attracted a good deal of attention, and everybody was wondering how Willin had managed to get back on his own before he was found. Though Felix had thought it would be faster than waiting for help, it still meant that Willin would have to spend a good deal of his day sitting through interviews, answering questions, trying to be patient with reporters and taking care not to imply anything at this stage.

Indeed, to anybody who saw him, it seemed as if Willin had endured the experience's scars well, managing to get over them by the time he had returned, appearing as a mentally strong figure through his actions. He spoke about it calmly, yet he kept a slight tone in his voice, playing his role well, acting a little shaken by the experience, but unaffected and calm, relaxed and relieved that he had pulled through it.

And though he really was relieved, his safety wasn’t the primary reasons why. He had seen what Felix had done for him, and though he was slightly nervous about what the consequences could be, he was grateful that Felix trusted him enough to speak with him again. It meant that the two of them would finally be able to really communicate with each other. Though he thought that he understood Felix well, there wouldn’t be any barriers between them now. He was looking forward to getting a chance to see him and to speak with him again.

But though they would soon get to see each other, they wouldn't get a chance to talk. It was only a short while before reporters had started to ask about the pet that had saved him, and it only took a few minutes from there before they started asking to see him.

Though Yuri had been watching the pet and trying to examine Felix while Willin was dealing with the interviews, he had little choice in the matter with so many people at their door asking for a peek at the pet that had saved him. Yuri remained for a little while to give a short speech on how the two of them had such a good relationship, but after it, when it was clear that the press wasn't paying as much attention to him as they were to Willin and Felix, he took the chance to slip back out and consult the notes and Felix's scans, trying to make sure that he didn't miss anything that could've possibly led to Felix's current abilities.

While Felix didn't have any problems staying by Willin's side the entire time, he was notably camera-shy. Though he quickly moved to Willin's side as soon as he saw him, nudging against his and lapping affectionately at his face, he quieted down somewhat quickly when he saw the many reporters around the room with them, simply falling back onto all fours and just sitting there, nervously looking around, his body a little tense. Still, Willin only laughed kindly, petting Felix's head as he kneeled down near the pet, showing the image that the public would see, calmly letting his own mind accept the picture in his mind, knowing that he had to keep it up in public, even his real relationship with Felix would be a bit different now.

Things didn't calm down at all until the evening, where, after he had finished explaining the situation for the sixteenth time, the manor was closed for "security purposes" by one of the servants. Even then, the reporters lingered around, hoping to get a good image before they left. Still, Willin and Felix finally had some time when they were all gone.

To the world at large, all that the people would find out was how the teen was lucky enough to be saved by his pet in a one-in-a-million accident that had occurred at an unlucky time. The story would be touching to many, but it wouldn't remain in the memory of many for long.

But to Willin and Felix, it was something that would stay in their minds for much longer. The first time that Felix really spoke was special to the both of them, and they were both rather eager for some time together.

So it wasn't a surprise to Willin when Felix dragged him off as soon as all of the people were gone. And, knowing the way Felix acted, he already had a guess on they were headed as Felix carried him on his back, holding onto his legs as Willin reflexively grabbed onto his shoulders.

"I guess you still haven't gotten enough exercise today, then?" Willin smiled as Felix carried him, still incredibly light on his feet as he moved.

Felix simply smiled and nodded as he ran. Willin had already warned him to be careful about speaking on the way, and they had both agreed that he wouldn't do it unless they were in a more private space. With the number of servants around, the hallways could hardly count. Fortunately for them, the exercise area was large enough for it to count. Felix would be able to notice anybody coming before they would be close enough to hear him talk.

“Running first, right?” Felix had already gotten onto the track as he spoke, taking off at a higher pace than he was when he was there.

“Yeah, you only need to do a couple of laps. You ran a bit when we were coming here.” Willin spoke calmly, though he was smiling gently, watching Felix move effortlessly through the area faster that he had seen him move before. It was a bit surprising that he had been working hard enough to do that kind of thing without even attracting any attention to it all.

“It’s not enough of a warm-up, though. I’ll do fifteen.” His breathing wasn’t even starting to change as he ran through the first lap.

Willin’s mind seemed to pause for a moment before he clearly grasped it. If Felix was planning on doing a warm-up involving running miles around inside, then he might not be able to have enough energy to do anything else. He started to open his mouth to speak, but realized what Felix was trying to do. He had always been working with the idea that Felix needed to work his way up slowly. But if he was already capable of working past what he and his uncle had set for him, then he didn’t need to worry. After all, Felix hadn’t even paused to rest when they were returning to the house. If he thought about that, then fifteen laps really didn’t seem out-of-reach for him. Right now, Felix knew his abilities a lot better than Willin did. So, all he could do…

“If you think it’s best, then go for it, Felix.”

Felix just smiled, his heart starting to beat a little faster, though not only because of the run. If Willin trusted him to do his best, then he’d just have to do it and make sure. Willin had listened when he said that his training wasn’t hard enough, and he wasn’t going to going to fail in doing something he had chosen to aim for. His mind was focused on what he had to do, and he moved without any hesitation.

The second lap was silent, Felix only focused on running steadily, not slowing down or speeding up, just focused on getting to the end. Willin simply watched Felix move, his legs running easily, his face eager for it all, yet determined. “So, you’ve been training on your own a lot?”

“Yes, master. When you’ve been busy with classes, I’ve been working out. I get enough sleep with you during the nights.”

“Ah. I guess you really don’t need to rest that much, huh?”

“No, I don’t. It’s enough to be rest with you. I might not get a lot of sleep, but it’s still a lot better for me to be with you when I do.”

Willin paused a little at the mention of it. Felix had always slept with him since that time, but now he understood why he might have been a little bit nervous to be in the same bed with him. Though he seemed to have settled into it okay, it was only now that Willin really understood why Felix acted the way he did, hesitating for a bit when he got a bit close.

His thoughts about it distracted him as Felix ran about the track, the gentle motion of his body calming him as he watched him move about the track. Though Felix noticed it, he didn’t say a word to him, focused on his training. It was only after he finished that he started to worry a little bit, and spoke up. “Master… Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just… Just thinking a little.” Willin shook himself out of it, smiling as he saw Felix looking at him. “How about you, though?”

“I’m done here. I’m going to move on to the weights now.” Felix was still jumping around a little, keeping himself moving, his body starting to look a little excited just from the run, eager to keep going.

“Well, you can put me down for that, Felix. You need your paws for this, don’t you?” Willin smiled as he gave Felix’s head a gentle scratch behind his ear, letting his hand loose. He had been gripping tightly against his back the whole time, and only let go now that he had slowed down a bit.

“Oh, right! Sorry about this, master. I didn’t mean to keep you the entire time.”

“No, it’s fine. As long as you didn’t have a hard time carrying me, it was great. Besides, it was nice to ride on you. I might not be able to keep up with you otherwise.” Willin smiled gently at Felix as his paws fumbled slightly, gently lowering Willin to the floor, carefully placing his feet down onto the floor before letting his arms release him. “Besides, you wanted to train harder, right? I want to do my part to help, too. So, as long as you’re okay with it, I’ll be with you whenever you run.”

Felix smiled and nodded. “If you’re sure about it.”

“Of course. You’re doing a lot for me, and I want to be able to do the same for you. It was enjoyable for me, too, so you don’t have to worry about that. It’s not a problem.” Willin smiled, his composure calm and content as he led Felix to the weights. Felix just smiles as he followed, his paw holding onto Willin’s arm as they moved.

The training went well that evening. Now that Felix was able to easily communicate, Willin worried less and less about exactly how Felix was doing. It only took them a few different lifts before Willin really understood just how strong Felix had gotten without him realizing it. While he had set things to ten pounds above the weight that Felix had been doing before, it was clear that it was child’s play to him. His body hardly struggled to lift any of it as a warm-up, only causing Willin to watch as he moved so easily. He just smiled and quietly stared as Felix pushed against the weights, his whole body starting to shimmer a bit, sweat gently starting to drip off of his fur as he felt his body pushing a little more. He smiled as he watched, his mind drifting a little bit as he thought about how much work Felix was doing for him.

By now, Felix was looking incredible. His body was full from the little that he had done already, and he was only improving with every motion. When he lifted, his entire body seemed to focus on the spot that he was working. When his arms flexed, they slowly surged with his power, peaking so high before they released. When his abs tightened, each section pushed outwards, clear through his furry body. Every movement went into the spots that they were supposed to, every exercise pushing him the right way.

Willin was lost in watching Felix’s body as he gently guided him through the motions. He stood close the entire time, smiling as he helped to hold the bars and hold Felix’s body, even putting a little more pressure on them as he held onto the weight and onto Felix’s body, helping him keep steady throughout the entire time.

“Wow… You can really do all of this, can’t you?” Willin helped Felix into the spot to try to do a bench press, testing the bar a little as he moved to spot him. He couldn’t even budge the bar after setting the weight on it, but as Felix’s paws came up to the bar, it shook a little as his grip tightened over it.

“Of course I can, master.” He took a breath before he pushed up against the bar, lifting it all the way up before slowly lowering it to the chest. It felt a bit heavy to him, but there was no way that he could let Willin see that. He wasn’t about to fail at it when he was the one who had set the standard for himself. Doing his best to limit his shaking, Felix pushed the bar up all the way, exhaling quietly before lowering it again, his eyes only seeing Willin’s wondrous expression as he pushed. He smiled as he saw it, his breath flowing more easily as he pressed upwards again, continuing slowly and speaking between his breaths. “This is… nothing… I can… do more… than this…” His pecs pressed outwards with each motion, the pump in them slowly causing them to push outwards, his fur brushing against his own body as the ridge between them became more pronounced.

Willin simply watched in amazement as Felix finished up the set, sliding the bar back onto the pins. The weight on it may not have been anything huge for fully-developed Geos, but for Felix, who was still young and still developing, it was an exceptional number. “And before we’re through, you’ll be able to do even more, won’t you?” He smiled as he pulled a towel off of the rack for Felix, gently wiping the sweat off of his body, pushing a little against him and noticing just how pumped he was and how little he could push against the pet as he wiped him clean.

Felix purred quietly as he felt it, rubbing a little softly against the towel as he did. “Yeah… I won’t stop. I’ll keep on going for you.”

Willin nodded, and tossed the towel aside, smiling as he scratched the pet’s favorite spot behind his ear, rubbing his chest softly with his hand. “And I’ll help any way I can.” He tried to sit down on an empty spot on the bench, only managing to squeeze onto it as he looked at Felix. Felix squirmed gently against Willin’s body, happily receiving his affection as the two rested there.

It was only at the very end of the exercises when Yuri showed up, still looking over the pet’s detailed scans as he approached. He was caught up in his research, and had only been hoping to catch them before he left. However, when he saw them, he paused for a moment as he watched the two still at it, talking and laughing as Felix worked on his legs, the two of them laying on their backs and looking at each other as he pushed against a flat sheet of metal suspended near him. As soon as he had finished, Felix gave a small nod to Willin’s uncle, letting the object hang gently in the air as he shifted around, Willin pulling himself up to speak.

“Hi, Uncle Yuri. Did you figure out anything?”

Yuri smiled and shook his head. “Good news and bad news, my boy. The bad news is, I can’t see anything different about Felix. His body’s scans show that he’s developing at an incredible rate, but I can’t find any trace or any anomalies in him. Nothing biologically, chemically… There’s nothing fundamentally different that I can see. Even his brain scans don’t show anything out-of-place!”

“So, all Geos are hiding it or something?”

Felix shook his head as he walked up as well, on all fours as he moved. “No, they aren’t. I remember the others in… back in the cages. None of them… none of them listened to the humans that came, and… none of them tried to speak. I know what… what it sounds like to try.”

Yuri looked at Felix with an interested expression. “It’s possible that Geos have the capacity to speak, but haven’t developed it. However, even in that case, I’m not sure why you’d be able to. Even in a case where you could learn, I’m not sure if it’s even possible for you to pick it up.”

Willin smiled as he put his hand onto Felix’s back. “Felix is special. Let’s just leave it at that.” Felix gave a small, affectionate bark, smiling as he rubbed his back along Willin’s hand, nuzzling gently against his side.

Yuri smiled as he saw the two, glad that Felix’s revelation didn’t change their relationship at all. “Yes, he is. Well, the good news is the same. His body and mind are extremely well developed, but nothing seems unusual in the scans. He should be able to enter the cup without any problems, and nobody will be able to tell there’s anything different about him. His growth rate and his overall health don’t seem to be affected negatively by any of it, so as far as I can figure, he should be able to continue just fine.”

“That’s good. I didn’t want to stop.” Felix smiled widely, stretching his body a little as he stood up. His legs were slightly bent so he could see eye-to-eye with Willin, but it was clear that he had gotten taller as well, shooting up half a foot in the few months they had started training seriously.

“Yes, that’s the other thing that I wanted to talk to you about. Increasing your training, as you’ve asked?”

Felix’s head nodded quickly and repeatedly as he heard those words. He was eager to see hear what Yuri had planned for him, excited at the prospect.

“Well, from the looks of things, you’ve already gotten started on it.” Yuri smiled as he gave Felix a bit of a brush along his head as well. “I’ve increased the allocation for your meals and requested a set of equipment for adult Geos. It might be a bit much, but you should be able to use it.”

Felix jumped a little in place, smiling as he fell to all fours, happily running circles around the two of them before nuzzling against Yuri as well. Willin giggled as he saw Felix run about, smiling at his uncle. “Thanks, Uncle Yuri. We’ll be sure to use it well.”

“I’m sure you will. You two have been doing excellently, and you’ve been following the plan very well. However, in this case… I believe you can deviate and use your best judgment.” Yuri walked over to the panel, making a quick note of how high the weight was set. “Felix has already outshot any projections I’ve made, and I’m not sure how accurate any others would be. He’s really an exception to any known records.”

Felix only smiled and shifted himself close to Willin again, nodding slowly as his breathing calmed down, his whole body feeling heavy from the work, but his mind satisfied and happy after the best workout he had gotten in months.

“That’s good to hear, Uncle. Thanks for looking.” Willin hugged his uncle, Felix purring at his side as he did. Yuri just smiled and put a hand to his back, giving him a strong pat to him.

“It’s my pleasure to help my nephew. Besides, Felix is a great pet to train. You’d better get him cleaned up, though. Your father’s probably going insane since you never made that appointment.” Yuri smirked quietly at the idea, looking at Felix’s ruffled and tangled fur, his body still dusty and natural-looking from their trek back. In his opinion, the look suited him far better than the prim and proper appearance that was planned for him.

“Oh, right! We’ll talk in more detail tomorrow about his training. Come on, Felix!” Willin started walking out, only to be picked up in Felix’s arms and carried away. Yuri only smiled as he watched the two of them leave.

“Well, he’s definitely a loyal one.”

Felix’s bath that day was an odd affair. While Willin was used to giving him a thorough wash in his oversized tub, it had started to feel a little more awkward to wash him that time. While Felix enjoyed it, talking easily and helping to scrub through his fur a bit, Willin was a little uncertain of washing Felix now. He still took great pleasure in splashing about and helping to get him clean, but knowing Felix was capable of doing it himself, and that Felix was mentally maturing still made it feel a little awkward for him.

When Felix noticed it, he quieted down as well. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, both of them blushing a little. “Um… Master… You don’t have to… if it makes you uncomfortable…”

Willin shook his head. “No, it’s fine. We’ve been doing it for a while, and you’ve gotten used to it. I mean, you might have started talking more to me, but that doesn’t mean that changed between us.” He resumed scrubbing his fingers through Felix’s fur, the suds spreading over his arm. “I’m still going to do my best to take care of you, and I know that you’ll still be the same Geo that you’ve been. You just can talk now, that's all.” He splashed a bit of water onto his arm to rinse him off.

Felix smiled and nodded. “Thanks, Master. In that case…” He grabbed onto Willin’s arm, suddenly pulling him into the tub with a loud splash. “I’ll take the chance to act like one!” Willin yelped, forgetting his nervousness as he grabbed Felix’s head, pulling himself up onto him to gently give his head a playful bop.

“Hey, I’m supposed to be giving you a bath, not the other way around!”

“Think of it as payback, then!” Felix laughed as he splashed Willin’s head again, the two of them happily playing and laughing together as the minutes passed. In the end, they climbed out together, and Willin waited for Felix to dry himself before they went to get some dry clothes for him.

“You know, Felix, something might have changed.”

“Oh? What’s that, Master?”

“You don’t have to call me ‘Master’, Felix. You can call me Willin. After all, you’re not my pet. That doesn’t seem right. After all we’ve done together… you’re a lot more than that.”

Felix smiled and gave him a lick across his face, holding tightly to his arm as he did.

[rogsats]

It's nice. Continue please

[msman]

what hapend to this?

[redkage]

?Willin?Willin, it?s time to get up.? A strong, soothing voice said as he gently shook him. ?Willin??

?Mmm?five more minutes.? Willin said as he snuggled further into the bedsheets.

Suddenly he felt the sheets torn off and himself lifted out of the bed, but instead of feeling the cold air, Willin felt himself surrounded by something warm, soft and yet hard and powerful. A moment later he felt a rough tongue slobber on his face, and he giggled as he opened his eyes.

?Good morning Felix!?

?Good morning Willin.? Felix had had a tremendous growth spurt during the past month. Now standing at 7?1? and 880 lbs, Felix was five inches taller and also over four hundred and thirty pounds over that ?puny? Regal. After speaking with Uncle Yuri, they devised a workout plan that was hard enough for Felix to really push himself. At first, Willin had been afraid that Felix would get hurt by pushing himself too hard, but after Felix benched over three times his bodyweight easily Willin eventually gave in. There were restrictions though. Uncle Yuri stumbled upon Felix during one of his late night workouts and forbade the pet to do any training unless either Willin or himself were present. For that reason, Yuri began to sleep during most of the day and stayed up at nights so he could overlook Felix?s evening workout.

Willin was glad that Felix was able to exercise as hard as he could. Willin had always felt that Felix contained so much suppressed youthful energy, but now he could let all of it out in huge bursts during his workouts. Felix?s growth was proof of this.

A loud growl from Felix?s cobblestone stomach brought Willin?s attention back to the present. ?Okay boy, let?s head down for breakfast.? Willin laughed.

At the breakfast table, Mr. Rutherford sat uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes keep on wandering over the huge, hulking creature chowing down on a tub full of food in the corner. He knew that Geopets were capable of growing to rather large sizes, but to grow so much and so fast was unnerving to say the least, and Cornelius Rutherford did not like to be unnerved. But after what that Geo did for his Willin, he was willing to accept Felix as a good creature that only wanted to please and protect his master. There were times where he actually felt like he might be able to get along with Felix, if only he could figure out a way to do so and save his dignity.

?So, the Pluto cup is drawing near.? Cornelius noted.

?Yes it is.? Willin nodded. ?We?re all working hard to be in tip-top shape for the competition.?

?I can see that.? Cornelius nodded. ?However, are you also working on your pet?s performance??

?Performance?? Willin echoed. ?Er?well??

Cornelius looked at his son firmly. ?Willin, aren?t you even aware that the Pluto cup not only a contest in appearance, but of ability as well??

?Yes, I did.? He nodded. ?It?s just?we?ve been so focused on developing Felix?s physical stature that we haven?t exactly??

?Well, since we don?t have too much time left, I think we need to devote as much time as we can towards Felix?s poise, grace and performance.? Mr. Rutherford said sternly, ?Which is why I have already scheduled a professional geopet show trainer to come here and help.?

?What?? Wilin blinked. ?B-but, Uncle Yuri-?

?Is an expert in Geopet?s physical and nutritional training,? he completed, ?but not choreography and mandatory commands, movements and so forth.?

?Well, yes, but-?

?You said so yourself that you would do everything in your ability to give Felix the best training he could get for this competition. And as you pointed it out yourself when you recruited your Uncle, part of that is to receive professional help from the very best. The trainer I?ve hired to help is considered a prodigy and has won over fifteen competitions in the very short amount of time he?s been participating. Don?t you think getting at least a few tips from him would benefit greatly to your pet??

Willin suddenly found himself backed into a corner. His father was using the same tactics he did when he brought in Uncle Yuri. Reluctantly, he finally agreed. ?Okay, I?ll see this trainer.?

?He?ll arrive a bit after lunch.? Mr. Rutherford told him. ?Make sure your Geo is at least somewhat presentable to him.?

?Yes sir.? Willin nodded obediently.

Later when he talked it over with Uncle Yuri, the man was slightly annoyed that his father had made more plans without consulting with him, Yuri actually agreed. ?A good trainer will teach you and Felix how to work together and make the best performance for the show.?

?But Felix and I can do that stuff on our own.? He protested. ?Since Felix can talk, he and I have the best communication in the entire competition.?

?However that doesn?t mean you know everything about how to perform.? Yuri pointed out. ?An experience trainer can tell you what to expect as well as refine your act so you?ll get full marks. In fact, I think a trainer is a great idea.?

The fact that his father and uncle agreed on something was enough to shock Willin into submission. Before he knew it, he was waiting somewhat impatiently with Felix for their guest?s arrival.

?Willin, is it really so bad to have this person come and help?? Felix looked down at his master. Even on his haunches, he was now taller than Willin standing.

?No, it?s not bad, but?? He shifted uncomfortably, ?I was hoping to make one up with you by myself, the two of us spending a lot of time together.?

?We?ll have loads of time after the show, Willin.? Felix reassured him. ?For now, I want to become the best that I can so I can win for you, Master.?

?I said you don?t have to call me master anymore.? Willin turned his head away and blushed slightly.

A polite knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Taking a deep breath, Willin went and opened the door.

?Hi, you must be Willin.? A boy his age greeted him. He was an inch taller than Willin with light, very cool looking blonde hair and deep and brilliant green eyes. He wore simple clothes, but he looked rather handsome in them. Behind him was a tall, 6?6? and 450 lbs. red Geopet. ?I?m Reeve, you?re new trainer, and this is Jaeger.?

?Ah?hi?? Willin felt his face flush and his palms turn sweaty. He couldn?t help but stare at that handsome face, his stomach feeling funny. ?Er, come on in.? He stepped to the side to allow Reeve and his pet to enter.

?Wow, this is a very fine blue eared geo.? Reeve remarked when he saw Felix. ?I never knew they could develop so largely, but I can see he?s well taken care of.?

?Yes, Felix is very close to me.? Willin agreed with a swelling of pride from Reeve?s compliments.

?This is a very nice facility you have here.? Reeve said as he looked at the gym. ?If you put everything to good use and feed him right, I can see why he got so big in the first place.?

?Yes, my Uncle and I are giving Felix the best training possible.?

?And it shows.? Reeve smiled. Right away willin felt faint from seeing that dazzling smile?

?Well then, shall we get to work then?? Reeve asked as he clapped his hands together. ?You and?Felix was it? The two of you can sit back and I?ll go over a regular contest routine with Jaeger so you both can see what it looks like, then we?ll start teaching Felix how to do it.?

?Okay!? Willin said as he sat next to Felix almost eagerly.

Reeve didn?t take things slow for Willin and just did a standard performance, but to Willin it looked like moving art. Each command was clear and Jaeger performed accordingly. It was impossible to be focus on one figure because Geo and trainer moved as one, drawing Willin in. Jaeger did tricks, flexed his muscles and hit poses while Reeve lead him through yet somehow putted as much of a show as his pet. When they were done, he actually was disappointed that there wasn?t more.

?That was?.amazing!? Willin let out the breath he had been holding in since the start of the routine.

?With hard work, you and Felix will be able to do this as well.? Reeve said confidently.

?I don?t know, you were- I mean, that was, um?? Quickly Willin tried to gather his wits, but every time he looked into those green eyes he lost it.

Reeve simply laughed. ?I can see a winner in the both of you. Now, let?s get to work shall we??

?Yes, of course!? Willin nodded.

Felix, on the other hand, didn?t look as excited as his master.

[muscl4life]

I love writing to this story, but I felt it needed to be rocked, so i hope this next installment is up for the task.

Part 13


?Very good Willin, you are in total control of your pet?now just make sure Felix doesn?t lose his focus?? Reeve instructed as Felix lifted a large box shaped performance prop, similar to the objects that Geos would find at the Pluto Cup.

Willin tried really hard but he couldn?t help blushing whenever the green eyed lad complimented him, meanwhile Felix noticeably rolled his eyes. Willin?s new performance trainer was always so positive, so understanding, Reeve didn?t lose his temper not even when the Rutherford heir screwed with the routine they were practicing, he was just so nurturing and charming.

?Well?it?s not really difficult because Felix can lift weights 10 times heavier?? The master tried to undermine his own achievements to look humbler, but his Geo just opened the biggest smile, threw the huge steel cube into the air and easily held its fall with one single hand, single handedly sustaining the two ton heavy box, while he flexed his gigantic free arm, which created an incredibly powerful display of strength and muscularity.

However, Reeve didn?t seem so impressed; the boy simply looked at Felix, waving his pretty head.

?Yes, but that?s what I meant about not letting your pet losing control?This part of the show focuses on the control of the master over his animal, and Felix simply forgot all about you and tried to show off?the judges don?t like a Geo that ignores the commands of his master.? Reeve smiled while he approached his human trainee.

Willin looked at Felix and then back at Reeve ?Yeah? you?re right?it was my fault, we?ll do it again if you want?? Felix, on the other hand didn?t seem to like that at all, probably because the blue eared enormous Geo knew the routine lessons were done for the day, so he would be free to work out at with Willin for the rest of the day.

The blond lad grinned again. ?Nah?it?s enough for a day, besides, I know you have an ultra busy schedule, let?s call it a day.? Reeve used an electronic buzzer and Jaeger immediately started packing their training material.

?It?s pretty impressive the way Jaeger respects you...? Willin commented as both lads shook hands.

?Well?Jaeger is a great Geo, and he knows that I am the master and he needs to obey every command of mine?otherwise he?ll just become an undisciplined pet, and we all hate those types?? Reeve answered as he showed his pet?s control pad.

?Erm?I see your point?but Uncle Yuri and I don?t believe in such?constrictive methods?Felix is not supposed to be hurt to obey me.? For the first time in the couple of weeks they?ve met, Willin didn?t seem impressed about Reeve?s training skills.

?That?s not a problem; in the way I see you are never supposed to use the obedience device, the mere threat is enough to submit the Geo?s under our control?? Reeve explained with the sweetest tone, and yet it still sounded creepy to Willin?s and Felix? ears.

?Do you really like the idea of your friend Jaeger to be constantly threatened and scared?? Willin tried to make the other lad more sensitive about the subject.

Reeve just shook his head ?Oh, Willin, you?re indeed not a traditional trainer, and it?s actually an interesting thing, but truth is, Geo?s are just pets after all, and they don?t really understand such concepts??

?Oh I am sure, Felix knows about them, that is precisely the reason why I banished the control pad.? Willin said harshly as he caressed Felix? humongous arm.

Reeve looked at Felix? mocking expression while the humongous Geopet towered over his master in such unique way, it almost seemed like Felix was trying to show Reeve that Willin was his.

?You and Felix indeed share a remarkable connection, much deeper than any other I?ve seen, it almost seems like you do really communicate with your pet, but if you want to succeed at Pluto Cup, you will need to understand that Felix is an irrational creature and you are the one who needs to think for him.? Reeve concluded as he buzzed Jaeger.

?Yeah, I guess you have a point?? Willin knew he couldn?t continue that conversation, because it might jeopardize Felix? secret, but he surely would like to show Reeve that his Geo was a rather intelligent one, especially because Felix could tell him that personally.

Reeve grinned ?Don?t be sad, Willin, you will get the hang of it, all this pressure to win one of the most important Geopet cups right at your very first year! Man, I can understand why you are pretty stressed about everything?? The blond lad touched Willin?s shoulder, grinning softly, and Willin blushed once again.

?Tell you what, why don?t we drop this whole training routine for the rest of the day and go hang out like kids we are? I am sure you can take one afternoon off don?t you??

Right at the moment, Felix?s mouth twitched, he wanted to say out loud that Willin already had plans for the day, he wanted to yell at the nosy kid and tell him to get lost, but instead the huge Geo just bent his body forward and licked his owner?s hand.

?I am sorry, Reeve, but Felix needs to be trained, and like you said, I have to do what?s best for my Geo.? Willin said as he gently petted the monstrous Geo, but Reeve didn?t seem convinced.

?As an award winning trainer, I can attest Felix is far beyond any other Geo in terms of physical prowess, I think he might skip one night of his routine, especially if it is for a higher goal, you have to focus on his performance training, but in order to do so you will need to unwind, relax, and that?s exactly my plan. We will not be Geo trainers for the next couple of hours, just two friends hanging out, what do you say?? Reeve?s beautiful features seemed indeed very convincing, but at the same time Willin knew that Felix could not only understand everything they were talking, judging by the way his immense body acted, the blue eared Geo was not happy at all.

?I don?t know, Reeve, Felix really needs me here to watch over him?? Willin mumbled, a familiar voice announced.

?That?s not a problem, I can watch over our big blue friend while you two go out and have some fun. I had a pretty good rest this morning so I can also take care of Felix daytime workout today?? Yuri announced as he approached the boys and their immense Geopets.

Willin was cornered between Yuri?s and Reeve?s kindness, his mouth said ?O?kay then?I guess we can go have a cup of coffee or something?? although his heart knew his blue eared best friend would be greatly disappointed.

Reeve smiled ?Excellent! Maybe I can let Jaeger here to make Felix company while he trains, I know my Geo is not nearly as strong as yours, but at least he won?t feel alone, he might not even realize you were gone.? The blond lad said as he handled the control of his pet to Yuri, who just frowned.

?No need for that, young lad. I don?t need that thing to make a Geo respect me, right Jaeger, big boy?? Yuri just lifted his hands and gently approached it from the face of Reeve?s Geo and the muscular pet smiled and accepted to be caressed by the experienced trainer.

Meanwhile, Felix just grunted and licked Willin?s hand once again, trying to dissuade his master of the idea of leaving him alone.

?Don?t worry, Felix, I promise I won?t take long, you have Uncle Yuri and Jaeger to make you company?? Willin caressed Felix trying to get the immense creature to accept the fact he also needed some time with other humans.

Eventually, Felix just emitted a loud noise and went sitting far from his master, showing how deeply offended he was for being ?abandoned? like that, leaving Willin heartbroken, but Reeve came to his rescue.

?He will get over it sooner than you can imagine, Geos don?t hold on to memories like us, their brains are just not that developed, now let?s go before you change your mind again.? The blond lad gently conducted Willin towards the hover car so they could finally leave the Rutherford mansion.

Although Willin couldn?t actually forget about the sad image of his best friend totally devastated for being left behind, the charming presence of the blond lad surely helped to get a smile on his lips.

Instead of just going for a cup of coffee, they went to a nearby very chic restaurant, where the staff was more than happy to receive the heir of Cornelius Rutherford.

The service was indeed light speed fast, which provoked Reeve to giggle. ?Wow?I should get out with you more often?there are no lines in your world huh??

Willin blushed ?Well, my father is known for his lack of patience, I guess they just assume I'm the same, but in fact I don?t really like when people are jumpy and nervous to attend me, I'm just an ordinary guy??

?Yeah, and ordinary guy who gets billions of credits on his weekly allowance?? Reeve teased again, noticing that his last joke made Willin pretty uncomfortable.

?I am sorry?I shouldn?t have said that, you?re one of the people we only see in the galactic media, in wonderful holographic pictures or spending vacations at the most charming spots of the universe, it?s kinda hard to put you as a down to earth kind of guy.?

The Rutherford heir gave a trust vote to Reeve, after all they had just met, and the trainer was indeed a very nice guy, maybe he just assumed Willin behaved like some kind of intergalactic celebrity. Their conversation flowed pretty well after that first awkward moment.

Although Reeve?s family was not commoner, it was originally poor; his parents managed to reach an impressive social ascendance thanks again to the many awards their son got in his prodigious career; soon they not only obtained better social status, the young Reeve was becoming a recognized figure around the Intergalactic Federation, the money from endorsements and marketing soon flowed stronger into their accounts which provided the conditions for them to become part of the exclusive group of intergalactic investors families.

It didn?t take long for the ?vultures? to arrive, Willin was more than used that they always tipped people with good information about celebrities whereabouts. The restaurant was instantly packed with techno-paparazzi trying to get a better shot for their own gossip holovision show; the waiters had to momentarily become bouncers to get all those nosy journalists outside.

?Willin, is it true that the only reason you?re competing at the Pluto Cup is because Victor Cunningham challenged you?? Asked the lady dressed in a ridiculous pink suit.

?Are the rumors about the reconciliation between your father and your Great uncle true?? A long haired slacker asked right away.

?And what about you Reeve? Do you think Willin?s blue eared Geo can win of a White Crest?? Another guy asked Willin?s company who just smiled.

?Every Geo is capable of overcoming his own limitations and to amaze even the most skeptical ones.? Reeve?s answer was indeed interesting because it was vague enough to avoid compromising the blond lad.

?So you two are here on a date?? The lady in pink suit asked again, Willin went immediately beet red, but this time the restaurant crew managed to get all those nosy reporters out.

Willin just sighed ?I'm sorry about that?I keep forgetting that some people just spend their lives trying to make mine a living hell.?

?Nah?I'm okay, I am kinda used to them, although it was funny to let them with the impression we are here on a date.? The blond lad grinned as he raised his glass for the reporters outside.

Willin shook his head ?Well?it wouldn?t be the first time they play the match makers, I'm not even 18 and they already have several ?potential? wives and husbands for me??

Reeve really knew how to keep a conversation interesting, he seemed to have a strong opinion about almost every subject, and even when he truly had no idea about the topic, the blond lad always managed to charm his way out of any possible embarrassment, usually ceasing the opportunity to dig something else about Willin?s own tastes and opinions.

?So?let me ask you an indiscrete question, Willin my friend. Would you prefer the wives or the husbands they?ve chosen for you?? Reeve had a beautiful grin on his face.

?I?erm?never really cared about those people, they just assumed I would get involved with them because we come from the same social circles, but?truth is most of the people they?ve chosen are just preposterous and ultimately shallow?? Reeve suddenly acknowledged that if Willin was being so bluntly sincere, he actually got the answer he was looking for.

?I can see why you think this way?but just between the two of us?would you mind if people think you and I were dating??

Willin smiled ?Not really?you are the greatest guy I?ve ever met, you?re so easy going, I wouldn?t mind if they thought we were on a da??

Suddenly the Rutherford heir felt his own lips muffled by Reeve?s mouth pressing against them, Reeve?s tongue gently pushed inside Willin?s mouth, the agile hands of the blond lad reached the back of Willin?s head and pulled it closer, creating a very graphic and enjoyable osculation scene, especially for the many techno-paparazzi outside.


Yuri?s eye twitched as the noticed how aggressively Felix acted towards the weights, at each new exercise he completed, the material was literally pounded, the marks of the Geopet?s massive paws dented into the purest titanium league like wet clay; even Jaeger seemed to notice how angry the blue eared one behaved.

?In the name of Aristotle, please take it easier, Felix. We have just bought new equipment for you, there?s no need for acting like that?is there something wrong?? Eldritch asked pretending he didn?t know what the matter really was.

?If you didn?t interfere, Willin would be here with me?? Felix answered without even looking back.

The Great Uncle had indeed noticed the kind of relationship which took place between Willin and his Geo, but his scientist mind couldn?t help using the knowledge to create new situations and experiments for the most amazing Geopet he ever known, especially in the presence of another Geopet, Yuri really wanted to investigate the extent of Felix? uncanny capabilities.

?All I?ve done was giving my great nephew some time off his many obligations, it?s not like he had abandoned you; he?ll be back in a while, he?s just a boy that needs some fun with his friends.?

Jaeger?s ears twitched, the muscular creature suddenly looked suspicious. Felix finished with his mind blowing heavy series and stood up, towering over the scientist and the surprised Geopet.

?I AM HIS BEST FRIEND!? Felix yelled, the entire room shook violently. Yuri mentally thanked that Cornelius was out for the rest of the day, otherwise not even the acoustic treatment of their gym would have kept RITA?s CEO from discovering the secret of his son?s Geo.

Fortunately, Eldritch was used to endure stressful situations ?Are you really mad at me, Felix? Because if you are, I can only say that I'm deeply sorry, I was only trying to make Willin happy, isn?t it what we all want??

?Willin?s happy at my side!? Those words sounded so painful, like something had indeed being taken away from the enormous creature.

Felix was still breathing heavily, his chest heaving, the rich blue fur ruffled. Jaeger immediately went into submissive position and tried to hide behind Yuri?s smaller frame.

?Can you see what you are doing to the poor Jaeger? He?s scared and afraid of you, just like you felt when you were at the store right? Do you think Willin would like to see you behaving like that?? Yuri obtained success in dealing with Felix? bottled anger, the blue eared enormous Geo?s eyes seemed to understand how powerful his physique was, so the immense creature just sat on his four and looked down.

?No?Willin doesn?t like when others are suffering?I don?t want to disappoint my master? Felix concluded, and Yuri just came closer to pet the uncanny masses of muscles on the Geo.

Felix then looked at his brother Jaeger and hugged him, trying to calm the much smaller red Geo. Soon, Jaeger accepted the display of affection and purred softly, right at this moment Yuri?s brilliant mind noticed he had another important breakthrough.

?Felix?can you understand what Jaeger is saying??

The blue eared colossus just nodded. ?He is not actually saying, because we don?t have a very developed kind of language, we can pretty much express our feelings through sounds and certain gestures. Jaeger just ?told? me he forgave me for scaring him?and he that continues submissive to me.?

Yuri?s was overwhelmed. ?How come?you?ve established such standards??

Felix acted like that was obvious. ?Well, humans use words for everything, in fact if you can?t speak other language you pretty much are incapable of communicating, Geos have no languages or idioms that differ us, so I can communicate with any Geo, even with that Regal?

Eldritch noticed Jaeger kept purring and tapping his paw in different positions, Felix looked at him for a moment, and purred back at him. Yuri didn?t even have to ask for the blue eared to translate their conversation.

?He asked me if I can understand the sounds that come from humans? mouths and I told him that humans? sounds are their way of communicating between themselves.?

Yuri grinned as he looked at Jaeger?s body language, the red Geo was hugged at Felix and his tail was up lifted in a very sensual way.

?Well, Felix my big boy, it looks like you?ve got yourself a fan.? Felix? face frowned but when he heard the new series of purrs produced by the red Geopet, not even Yuri needed his translation skills to notice why the immense Geo blushed.

?Jaeger?wants to mate with me?? Felix said, but the amazing bulge on his pouch indicated the young blue eared creature surely could enjoy the sexual pleasure.

Yuri laughed ?It is okay, Felix, most of Geos mate when they are left alone, all that muscle and strength in your body is indeed overwhelming, and because you are all males there?s no danger of undesired offspring.?

Judging by Felix? eyes, Yuri noticed the creature was torn apart. ?Willin told me I was too young for that? can I really mate with another Geo??

Yuri never thought he would play the role of a Geopet?s sentimental advisor ?The real question is do you feel like mating with that pretty boy rubbing himself against you??

Felix grinned for the first time since Willin left. ?Yeah?.?

Eldritch laughed ?Then I guess, I have nothing else to do here??

?But?Willin?he said he would come back soon, and he told me to work out.?

Yuri showed the area around them ?You already completed the session, in record time, my friend, looks like we will have to increase the cargo again; besides, I think you will have another kind of work out.? The scientist grinned mischievously.

?Isn?t Willin going to be mad at me?? Felix managed to hold Jaeger for a moment.

?Well?he doesn?t have to know?besides?if he is out having fun, I don?t see why you two can?t have your own time off.? Yuri grinned as he pressed some buttons on Jaeger?s control pad and the red Geo?s pouch was released, revealing a very respectable endowment.

?Don?t worry big guy, I'm sure Willin will never be disappointed at you, it?s just a minor slip that we all make, especially when we are horny?? Yuri grinned as he heard Felix?s pouch ripping again, given the sheer pressure of his hardening giant cock.

Eldritch felt the pheromones explosion, and decided to get out while it was still possible, leaving the two Geopets to get acquainted.

?I thought he would never leave?? Jaeger purred as he hugged Felix? body with greater enthusiasm.

The bigger Geo just moaned, still hesitating. ?Our humans shall be back in a while?are you sure to do this??

The red one smiled ?I?ve done it before, with Reeve looking, he likes to watch?many humans love watching us mating??

Felix didn?t feel comfortable with the idea of being watched by other humans, but he trusted Yuri would be busy on his lab. ?I?never?mated.?

?I can tell it. You are so huge?so strong..so powerful, I was submissive to you ever since the first day we met, and you didn?t even tried to take me?? Jaeger humped Felix?s amazingly leg with his hard cock, trying to get the colossal bleu eared on the mood.

?Do you think I'm bigger than Regal?? Felix asked while Jaeger felt his other massive muscles.

?He is not much bigger than me, and you?are so much more than anyone I?ve ever seen?? The red Geo purred even more submissively, but Felix didn?t seem to understand.

?It?s not enough?I want more?I want to be the biggest of us.?

?But you already are the biggest of us??

Felix felt his own cock growing harder and longer, which only made his red companion to wag his tail in excitement. ?Then it?s not enough, I still need to be much bigger?I want to be bigger than anything that ever lived.?

Jaeger liked to play the game ?Really? I would like to see that, you already are so massive, so strong, why would you want to grow bigger??

Felix didn?t even hesitate, he just held Jaeger on his arms ?Because Willin wants me to grow bigger, and I do everything for him.?

The red Geopet suddenly noticed it. ?You like your human?too much?they are good most of times, but?they hurt us??

?Not Willin, he never hurt me?he stood up for me against his Alpha?? Felix said looking at his own massive muscles, ?He made me this big and now I want him to be proud of me, I?ll win the Pluto Cup.?

Jaeger chuckled ?This is not going to change the way he feels about you!?

Felix suddenly stopped ?What are you talking, don?t you think I am big enough to win the Cup??

The red Geopet felt the enormous strength on the colossal blue eared. ?No?you will win?all humans will envy you and your weakling human, but it?s not gonna change the way he feels about you?I?ve won many of those big things and Reeve still treats me like he didn?t care for my feelings?he is not a bad human, he?s just?a human, they don?t understand us.?

Felix felt his whole body swelling as his cock got harder ?Not Willin, he always talks to me, he sleeps on top of me, hugged to my body, he bathes me and he likes my muscles so much?he says I'm his best friends?he is different.?

Jaeger moaned. ?Then you are lucky, because this human is one among all of them You can trust him?I wish I could ever say the same about mine.?

Felix? grin showed he suddenly got back into mating mood. He just flexed his massive arms and Jaeger?s eyes widened. The monstrously huge Geopet didn?t seem to be a virgin, because he quickly forced his companion to bend over and accept his nearly 2 feet long erection inside his body at once.

Jaeger howled and Felix suddenly roared an animalistic sound filled the room as the two Geo?s fucked wildly, the blue eared assumed his alpha position, topping the red one, meanwhile Jaeger just obliged to every command of the much bigger creature.
Isolated in his lab, Eldritch took a lot of notes, Yuri had seen several couplings between Geos, but he noticed right away the mating ritual was indeed particular because he now knew those marvelous animals could communicate between themselves, and it only added a special flavor to the fact those weren?t two irrational beasts mating, they were muscular, strong, thinking individuals sharing intimate moments together, what had always been natural and common, now became?sexy.



After that unexpected kiss, Willin didn?t know what to say to Reeve, he just followed the blond guy to the back of restaurant and headed towards their car, the driver was already knew he had to lose the reporters that followed them.

There was an awkward silence between them, Willin looked at the blond lad, who grinned back at him. ?I'm sorry, man, but I couldn?t resist, and you looked so charming??

Willin?s mind was dizzy ?Erm? it?s okay?I mean?the kiss was not just okay?it was good, more than good, better than good, it was?really good? The Rutherford heir couldn?t believe he was capable of speaking in front of thousands of people but now he only stammered in the simplest words.

Reeve tapped Willin?s left thigh ?So?do you wanna fuck here or should we go to a better place??

?What??

Reeve just smirked ?Come on, you?re a clever guy, you know ever since the beginning we were going to fuck right? Why else would I take you from that huge mansion of yours where we can have the best plates served by great chefs??

Willin felt the world spinning around him ?Reeve?the kiss?it was very good??

?Again with the good and okay stuff, I guess you need a second taste?? Reeve moved to kiss the boy for a second time, but now Willin was prepared.

?No?Reeve wait?I?appreciated you kissed me, it was really good?.but I'm not?having sexual intercourse with you.? The boy lowered his voice considerably which made Reeve laugh out loud.

?Man, I never thought you would be so prude? What?s the matter? We are filthy rich, we can do pretty much whatever we want, you said you weren?t seeing anyone, so what?s the problem of us getting laid??

Willin suddenly realized he knew the answer for that question, and yet he couldn?t just use it, he was once again cornered. ?Erm?the problem is?me. I'm complicated?it?s hard to know when someone approached me for who I am or for what I am!?

Reeve?s face changed. ?Oh?I see, you?re thinking I'm a gold digger huh??

Willin took a deep breath. ?It?s hard to forget old habits, and my father always told me to keep on guard all the time, but I'm not saying you have any hidden agenda with me, I just need to feel that I can trust you completely before?we get truly involved.?

The blond trainer smiled friendly. ?In other words, if I want to be your boyfriend, I?ll have to play the old fashioned guy and take it slow huh??

Willin blushed again, even though he was sure that was not the true reason why he couldn?t be with Reeve. ?I?just?don?t want to hurt your feelings?there?s someone else in my life.?

Reeve seemed shocked ?Really? So I?ve got competition, huh? Well, who is he or she that lives in your heart?? The blond lad surely knew how to keep his charm even when everything seemed to be against him.

?It doesn?t who that person is, I just feel I can?t be committed to you until I figure things out?I just hope we can stay friends until?then.? Willin never thought he would have such kind of conversation in his life.

?I gotta admit that you seem much more interesting now then when we first met, and I don?t play for losing, so I?ll just raise my game and win your heart.? Reeve said as the driver finally took the main road back into the Rutherford manor.


Felix looked at Jaeger still attached to the enormity of his cock. The blue eared Geopet never expected he could feel such powerful sensations, it was almost the best thing he felt in his life, still he knew there was one thing that topped that feeling, and it was being with Willin, there was nothing which could compete with the ultimate happiness he felt whenever his master was around.

?Hmmmmmmm?.that?was so good?? Jaeger said as he recovered his senses, Felix grinned and tried gently to de-attach from his tight muscular butt, the river of his thick cum soon flooded out of Jaeger?s ass.

The cleaning robots entered the room, while Yuri brought a few towels ?Well, gentlemen, I'm glad you are done because I need to clean the gym before Willin arrives.

Felix and Jaeger tried to clean their huge bodies from all the cum and sweat, but it was indeed an epic job, so Yuri sent the both into the cleaning sprayer, to get a better result.

?Why did you say you can?t trust your human?? The blue eared waited to get the information when his red submissive Geo was alone with him.

Jaeger sighed, then he purred back at the Alpha ?Three days ago Reeve met with the human that owes Regal, they were mates sometime ago, and they have made me couple with the White Crest while they two did the same. I don?t understand the sounds of them, but they were laughing, and it cannot be good.?
Felix didn?t need to hear anything, he would go after Willin at the right moment, he didn?t want to talk to Yuri because the scientist would only hinder him, the massive Geo just went to his own room to get out of the manor, when he noticed the holovision projection.

?Good evening everyone, this is Patty Nebula from G! Intergalactic Holovision, and I?ve got the hottest news for you tonight?? Felix didn?t like the high sound of the woman dressed in a brilliant pink suit, not to mention he had other business to attend, but suddenly it felt like all his powerful muscles lost all their might.

?That?s right people; it looks like the Federation?s #1 bachelor has been taken!? The holographic projection was perfect, it showed the scene with greatest definition possible, still Felix didn?t want to believe in the image of his master and Reeve, they were locked in some kind of weird position, Reeve was actually licking the tongue of his master, but for what reason??

?Willin Rutherford, son of Cornelius Rutherford, RITA?s CEO, was seen in a romantic date with no other than Reeve Duran, the prodigy Geopet trainer. It seems Reeve was hired to help the young Willin to train his Geo for the upcoming Pluto Cup, but apparently they have become REALLY close if you know what I mean, what is a loss for all the girls who expected Willin to be straight became a tremendous victory for all the rest, now that Willin Rutherford is out, his father might even support the gay cause over the Intergalactic Federation.?

Felix only had started to understand the world of humans, but he knew for sure, Willin?s father would not be happy about that scene. However, he didn?t actually care for what Cornelius could do to Willin, he just knew he had to protect his master from that blond boy.


The hover car had barely parked in the mansion, and Willin already knew his father would be waiting for him.

?Well, well, well, it seems the two love birds are back from their escapade huh?? Cornelius asked in his most ironic tone, which only meant he was beyond furious.

?Dad?I'm sorry I shouldn?t have gone out without talking to you?the paparazzi were there and??

?Our friend Reeve just ceased the opportunity to pass as your boyfriend, yeah I get that, son, my only problem is to know how you feel about this?? Willin would never expect his dad to behave like that. He was prepared for a freak out, especially about his sexuality, no matter how much human civilization evolved, some would never fully accept homosexuality, and Willin always thought his father would be one of them.

?erm?I am okay with it dad, they have set me up with all kinds of people before, at least now Reeve is someone I actually care about??

Cornelius rose his eyebrow. ?Well?and what did you expect to gain by kissing my son in front of the intergalactic media besides notoriety??
Reeve gulped. ?Sir?I just didn?t think it through??

?Oh, I am sure you did, but it doesn?t matter now, if Willin is not offended, I guess I?ll have to let him take his own decisions, because at some point I have to trust my son?s judgment. Now you two may say goodbye, and Reeve, I guess it is unnecessary that since you?ve become that close of my son, we?ll have to hire another performance trainer, I have a strict policy against business and personal life, but don?t worry your salary will be paid in full and in advance.? Cornelius sounded even cooler than usual.

Willin wanted to protest, he didn?t want to stop the trains with Reeve, because he was the best around, but at the same time he knew his father was really going very easy on them., suddenly it was Reeve who surprised him the most?

?I understand your feelings, sir?and I?ll be glad to remain coming to your house as Willin?s friend.?

?Farewell then, I'm sure you guys are old enough to solve your own personal issues, I am glad this conversation went well. Take care?? The CEO simply finished the sentence, turned his back and went inside the manor.

?Wow?I never thought?my father would be actually cool about it?? Willin said out loud, and Reeve just ceased the opportunity to hug the lad and kiss his cheeks.

?Perhaps this is an opportunity for us to be boyfriends then huh?? The charming lad tried once again, but Willin seemed a bit tougher this time, he just waved his head and rose the eyebrow much like Cornelius had previously done.

?Okay?okay you can?t hate me for trying. I?ll show this secret crush of yours I will win at the end.? Reeve said as he looked around. ?Now where are our Geos??

The blond trainer would reach for his buzzer, but Jaeger came calmly from the inside, followed by Yuri and the towering, massive and powerful presence of Felix.

?So boy, did you enjoy your time with our big guy over there?? If Jaeger could indeed understand what he was saying, the red Geopet would blush, most like Felix would do if he wasn?t so focused and serious.

?Yeah they got along pretty well?? Yuri commented as he handled the controller back to his owner. ?You?d better go now, it?s not wise to test Cornelius temper more than once a day.? Eldritch advised and Reeve finally obliged.

?Farewell, I?ll see you tomorrow, Willin,? Reeve tried to kiss his cheeks once again but Felix simply grabbed his master at the last possible moment, which actually seemed a bit harsh, but Willin couldn?t care less, because Felix already licked his face and sniffed his stomach, the way that always provoked giggling in his human.

?Byeee?oh stop it?.Ree?EEEve.. stop that Felix?down boy.? Willin tried his best but his massive Geo demanded the attention he desperately lacked. Reeve overcame the fact his charm had been totally eclipsed by the massive Geo, so he just took Jaeger and got back in the hover car.

Meanwhile, the blue eared Geo made sure he only stopped caressing his master when the blond lad was already outside the Rutherford Manor.

Yuri looked at Willin and hugged his nephew ?Well, it has certainly been a busy day, I?ll take care of some details and prepare Felix? nighttime workout.? Eldritch said as he got back inside the mansion.

Willin was still being carried by his huge pet ?I don?t know about you, Felix, but I am going take a long bath to get calmer, and then we can resume your training what do you say?? Willin asked.

Felix just watched around and whispered in his ears ?No problems, Willin, I?ll be right here when you come back?sorry for being so stupid before.?

That was indeed a day for surprises, because Willin never expected Felix to act so maturely all of a sudden ?I am glad you feel that way, Felix, I would never abandon you, but next time I?ll bring you along with us okay??

The young master petted Felix for a little while, and then he finally went into their chambers.

Meanwhile, thanks to his highly developed senses, Felix captured to hear a very interesting conversation coming from Cornelius private isle.


?Alright, you?d better tell me what you?re up to at once!? Yuri demanded as he entered Cornelius? room, if it happened a few weeks ago, there would be a terrible arguing between those men, but over the days they had established a some kind of wicked tolerance, especially when it involved Willin?s sake.

Cornelius grinned. ?It?s nothing really complicated really. Vladimir thought he could actually bribe my own employers to betray me, so I am just giving that greedy boy something in exchange for his cooperation, if Vlad thinks he?s gonna get any info on Felix, he?d better coming up with another plan.?

Yuri?s eye twitched again. ?So you trust that trainer even knowing the Cunningham clan is paying him??

Cornelius grinned. ?Of course not, but Reeve?s trust is ours as long as we can outbid Vladimir, why do you think the boy actually got through with the oldest trick on the book? Taking my son on a date and calling the press? He actually came looking for me to ask for my blessings on his relationship with Willin. The nerve on that lad impressed me, he surely knew what he wanted, I could have just crushed him right then, but at the same time I had to lure his greed towards me, so now that I?ve allowed his five minutes of fame and glory, he won?t care about doing Vladimir?s dirty job.?

Eldritch sounded suspicious. ?And what about Willin, aren?t you afraid he might get his feelings hurt? He was just exposed to all the media??

?My son is far stronger than you think, besides it was time for him to deal with his sexuality, whether he?s gay or not, all kind of people will throw themselves over him, trying to seduce their way with him, he needs to put his brains before his cock if he wants to succeed.? Yuri noticed that Cornelius had a good point, it was Willin who let himself being charmed by Reeve, and he couldn?t be sheltered for the rest of his life.

?So?what comes next?? Eldritch asked because he knew Cornelius so well. The CEO just grinned and pushed a few buttons on his desk and a lot of data showed.

?The Cunninghams are giving illegal substances to Regal, right now he?s 6?8? tall and weighing 720 pounds, but since his development was obtained through steroids, the Geo became really instable, so their best shot is not to win, but making sure Felix doesn?t compete, that?s why they want Reeve on our tail to know all our steps, but now that is taken care of, we can move onto much higher goals.?

Yuri looked at Cornelius. ?And that?s where you enter Yuri. I know all about your Geopet enhancement projects, I need to know if you can use it on Felix before the cup??

The scientist froze ?You?can?t be serious, the enhancement project is for an eventual case of War, we could have the Geopets turned into the most powerful warriors, with virtually no weakness, but it is certainly not for a mere Cup, you?ve said yourself Regal is not even close from Felix? marvelous condition and he will be even better in the remaining time for the Cup.?

Cornelius shrugged ?Well?I was just asking if you could pull it out, I didn?t tell you to do it, I understand that task might be out of your capabilities.?

?You measure your words, little man, I am Yuri Eldritch, and I am perfectly capable of giving your Geopet the power a thousand Galactic Battleships wouldn?t ever have, but the reason why I don?t do it is?because Felix is a natural prodigy, his readings attest he?s the next step on evolution of those creatures.?

?Another reason for giving mother nature a little help, it wouldn?t be the first time that you would be playing God??

Yuri waved his head. ?You don?t know what you?re talking about, this enhancement might be out of control, and all you want is to win a mere cup??

Cornelius punched the table ?I know those bastards have tried to kill my son, and for that they will pay, but I want it to be a full payment, they will lose everything they have, all their money and glory will vanish, through the Pluto Cup I?ll annihilate the nasty influence of GATE from the Federation, I?ll seek revenge against those who hurt the most precious thing on my life for a second time.?

Yuri suddenly shook in rage. ?Are you telling me that??

?Rosalynn?s condition, it was not a normal disease?years after death, the specialists I?ve recruited finally attested that her organism was literally devoured by a highly complex form of bio-venom, my wife unfortunately became the victim of an assassination attempt that was originally meant for me. Without me running RITA, the way was open for Vladimir to assume??

?Don?t you try to use Rosalynn?s memory to manipulate me, Cornelius; I demand to see all the data that bases your theory!? Yuri growled and the CEO just gave him a small data card. ?You are clever enough to take your own conclusions.?

Yuri stormed out of Cornelius room without even noticing that Felix have listened to their entire conversation, but right then Felix also heard Willin getting out of his bath.

And he had very important stuff to discuss with him.


Willin dried his head while Felix hugged him once again, ?Oh come on, I just took a bath, I don?t want to be licked again?? The boy said as his massive Geo played with him.

?You smell so much better now that Reeve?s smell is not on you?? Felix said at once.

?Oh, come on, he?s not that bad, you just are not fondled of him because he needed to guide you instead of just applauding your every movement.?

Felix rolled his eyes ?I am glad your father doesn?t want him training me either?

It finally hit Willin that if Felix was able of speaking and understanding what humans talked around him, then there was no point in trying to stall him.

?Felix?I know you must have some questions but I want you to know that?I am not involved with Reeve?he just??

?He kissed you in a restaurant, I saw the holographic footage, Patty Nebula dedicated her whole show to the subject.? Felix said at once, but he didn?t sound sad, in fact he seemed strangely determined.

?erm..yeah?that?s pretty much what happened?my I never expected you to understand it so easily, what is going on with everybody.?

?I mated with Jaeger today while you were kissing his human.? Felix said at once.

?Oh?really?here?and I can almost bet Uncle Yuri helped you?? Willin actually didn?t know what to say instead of.

?Did you like it??

Felix nodded ?It was very good, did you enjoy kissing Reeve?? The Geopet?s eyes seemed more intense at each word he said.

?I didn?t hate it?? Willin confessed.
Felix grinned. ?You know the problem with Geopets??

?No??

?They never learned how to kiss.? Felix said as he suddenly picked Willin in his arms, with the passion he never thought he possessed to that day, his muscles sheltered his beloved human as he kissed his mouth, the bigger tongue rolled around Willin?s human tongue and massaged it, his muscles pressed against Willin?s small body and Felix moaned, he could feel a thousand times better than when he fucked Jaeger, the intensity, the taste of Willin?s mouth and his delicate limbs pressing against his muscles.

Felix knew he had gone too far, but he didn?t care for that now. He only needed to make sure Willin was safe. The body in his arms felt limp, the kiss was too much for the boy, he just fell asleep in Felix? arms. The humongous Geo could feel he was still breathing, so he just let Willin?s naked body over his own bed and headed to Yuri?s lab.

The Geopet suddenly noticed his fate had been traced for him.

And he would embrace it.

Although there was a lot of information packed inside, it didn?t take long for a brilliant genius like Yuri to locate the undeniable evidences that attested Cornelius theory ? his beloved niece was wrongly victimized in an assassination attempt targeted for her husband.

?I want it.? The deep voice suddenly made Yuri snap out of his thoughts.

?Felix?I don?t know how much you?ve heard, but it?s not for??

?Don?t you see, little man? Those guys will always come back after your family; they know Cornelius is far too smart for them, so it only rests Willin. I?ve saved him once and I?ll save him, you have to make me powerful enough, I don?t care for myself, I need to save Willin.? Felix said with an intensity that scared the scientist.

?You have no idea of what the Enhancement Project might do to you, you?re already not a regular Geo, your traces might become too powerful, you must become out of control.

?Never, I know why do I live for, I live to protect Willin. I love him.?

?Felix, you don?t understand this concept??

?You think only you humans are capable of loving? I might not know the word you use for it, but I?ve always felt it for Willin. Today I?ve mate for the first time, and I noticed not even it could compare to what I feel for my human. I love Willin.?

Yuri was dizzy. ?Y-you can?t be serious, he?s just a boy?you?re a Geo?it is?? Eldritch finally took a deep breath.

?If I do it to you, there?s no turn back, you will not be a Geo anymore.?

?Will I be able to protect the ones I love? Against all those bad guys might try??

Yuri nodded.

?Then do it. I am ready.?

Yuri took a deep breath ?What about the Cup? Don?t you want to win it??

Felix grinned ?Yes, and I will use it on our favor, Cornelius is not the only who may build plans within plans??

?When did you?become so clever??

Felix grinned ?I don?t know, as my muscles grew, there was something inside me pushing me forward, I wanted to know more, to have more under my control. Every night I came to your lab and watched your work, I could understand and it only made me want more, and now?I want it all, I need Willin to be protected, and I?ll become fully powerful to do so.?

Yuri knew Felix had already become what he expected, a new breed of Geo, far beyond his ancestors, but he never expected this new breed to become much more than humans, what would he become after the enhancement?

Eldritch just felt the hunger for justice, his faith in the science and his love for Willing merging inside his heart only to make him say.

"Alright Felix, I'll enhance you".

[msman]

Now this is geting interesting.

[philat99]

And the plot thickens! Cornelius sure does have the contacts!!! And the possibility of the geos becoming more than human??!?! Wow! You're weaving a dang good yarn!

[MysteriousMist]

When you do something, you might as well go all the way, huh? Well, hopefully, I've continued in a decent manner.
__________

Felix quietly ran back to Willin?s room. He had asked to get the enhancement procedure started while Willin was still asleep, knowing that he needed to have it performed before Willin would have a chance to argue and worry over it. It would only be a short while before it was ready, and he wanted to spend those moments with Willin.

The door was ajar from when he left, and he managed to get it open again without a noise. He slipped next to Willin, quietly watching him as he slept, seeing him shift around slightly. He silently put his hand onto Willin?s body, holding it lightly in his grip as he touched down his side. Willin gave a slight shiver in his sleep, mumbling something between breaths.

Not stopping to think, Felix instinctively slid onto the bed, letting himself brush against Willin?s front as he slid up to look right at Willin?s face. His arms gently pulled him close, careful not to wake him as he felt him move a little. He held him tightly, letting the warmth from his body spread along as he pressed against the boy. He quietly shifted his hand down, his mind calm and relaxed as he felt Willin shift, pushing himself up to his body.

This was where he felt he really belonged.

Felix slowly brought his head close, letting his tongue gently touch Willin?s lips. Even with the boy asleep, it felt so right to him, noticing the slight reaction that he seemed to give. He wanted to push further, licking again, but pausing as his tongue halted along his lips. He didn?t want to wake Willin, and though he wanted to continue, the slight nagging feeling in his mind forced him to pull his tongue back into his mouth.

However, his mind relaxed as Felix pulled Willin?s body close, letting his legs bend upwards slightly and brush against Willin?s waist. He turned slightly, careful as he pressed Willin to the bed, wanting him to be comfortable as he slept. He covered Willin?s body with his own, lightly shifting his arms to cover the whole of his sides. He balanced himself, making sure that his weight wouldn?t push down any more than it needed to.

Felix softly crawled upwards, letting his chest press down onto Willin?s cheek. His hand gently rubbed down Willin?s side, carefully brushing against his legs. He felt Willin?s pulse slowly beat as they pressed together.

They lay together as the minutes passed, Felix?s mind calm and content. He knew exactly what he was getting into as he held Willin tight. This was what he was going to protect, and he didn?t care what he needed to do to ensure that he?d be able to hold Willin like this again.

Something seemed to click in Felix?s mind as he slowly let go, carefully pulling himself off. He took a look at Willin as he saw him shiver slightly after he moved off. He gave a small smile as he grabbed Willin?s blanket, throwing it over his body gently, letting his hands linger as they let go, passing gently over his body as he left.

?Good night, Willin. I?ll see you again after? after I?m ready.?

As soon as the door was shut, he bounded off after, running towards Yuri?s lab. He had been there before for various tests, so it was quite simple for him to figure out exactly where Yuri was at the moment. It was a good deal further than he had gone before, but the unfamiliar noises of new machinery were enough to guide him deeper in.

He silently found the room Yuri was standing in, inputting details into a panel as he worked. The scientist?s face was focused and fully concentrating on things, checking and double checking everything. He didn?t notice Felix as he walked in and watched him work, quietly watching as a couple of variations on his image appeared in front. While he didn?t understand any of the technical work, his eyes followed Yuri?s changes silently.

?Is it almost ready?? His voice was quiet when he asked it, but the tone beneath his question caused Yuri to jump a little as he turned to see him.

?Almost. I?ve got most of your data from the scans before, and I have a few blood samples and tissue samples in case we need to do comparisons, or try to fix a mistake. While it?s not foolproof, we should at least have a bit of a backup if something goes wrong. Still, this kind of change will likely be permanent, and-?

?Good. Then, I?ll be able to handle whatever comes.? Felix quietly looked at Yuri as the man slowly stood up, shaking his head as he looked him over.

?I suppose there?s nothing left to be said about it. If you?re willing to do this??

?Whatever it takes to be able to protect Willin.? Felix didn?t flinch when he spoke, his resolve firmly set.

Yuri quietly nodded, and gave him a nudge towards one of the larger chambers. ?I?ve altered one of the chambers to try and alter some of your properties on a genetic level. It has been done before, so the theory is sound, but honestly, it?s never been attempted with something as complex as a geo.?

Felix nodded quietly, only half-hearing his words as he stepped into the chamber. Though he had been in ones before to get the scars of his past injuries fixed, this one had a much more sterile feel to it, the section he stood in almost completely white. It was a good deal smaller than he would?ve liked, used to the much larger chambers that had been designed for a larger variety of pets.

Yuri?s voice echoed through the small chamber after the door was shut. ?I?m starting it up now. It shouldn?t hurt, but this is the first time that it?s been tried on anybody who?d be able to say something if it did, and if the reactions weren?t visible.?

?As long as it works.? Felix?s voice passed over the rumble of the machinery as it started up. He took a deep breath as he braced himself. The lighting slowly increased, a plain white light totally covering his sight. He squinted to try to block some of it out, turning his gaze towards the lower part of the wall to try and avoid it, the shine still dimly reflected by the chamber.

As the procedure started, Felix was distracted by a high-pitched humming that seemed to sound in the back of his ears. It made it difficult for him to try and focus as he did his best to look at himself, hoping for some visible sign that it had started, and that he would be getting bigger. But as he watched himself while the minutes passed, he didn?t see anything visibly happen. He just stood in place, his breathing a little louder as he kept waiting for any indication that the changes to his body had started.

He tried to move a little, but his limbs felt numb as he shifted about. He brought his hand to the wall, trying to hold himself steady. His stomach was uneasy, and he felt his vision waver slightly, a few faint lines blurring his sight as he looked at the blank wall of the chamber. His grip slid slightly on the metallic surface, but he managed to hold himself up as he leaned against it.

His breathing became more difficult as his palm pressed harder against the wall. He tried to relax, forcing himself to take slow breaths as he stood there. His whole body was shaking slightly, his mind oddly aware of which muscles were tense and which ones were relaxed as he kept forcing himself to breathe. His hands slipped further, unable to even grip properly, his weight pressing into the arm that held him up.

The hum slowly faded away, a slight ringing remaining in his ears as Felix stood there, trying to get his body to respond properly. After a few moments, he was able to move slightly, but his body didn?t respond very well as he tried to get closer to the doorway, only managing a sort of limp as he did.

Through the ringing, Yuri?s voice sounded again as the machinery died down, the lights in the chamber dimming slightly. ?Your vitals are looking stable, and the scans show that the alterations were successfully made. Do you feel any different, Felix??

He tried to speak, but his voice was rather raspy. ?Numb. Are you sure it worked?? His voice seemed to be caught between his usual, deep tone and something more forceful.

?The scans show a genetic change, yes. You?ll be sluggish until your body fully adjusts to it. Some of your cells have changed, but your nerves and your brain had to be preserved, or else the procedure could?ve been fatal. They should naturally adjust, but it may take a while. ?

?How long does this last?? He slowly brought his hand up to his throat, trying to rub it and get some feeling back into it. His breathing was a bit more relaxed and it felt less forced as he tried to test his throat, rubbing it softly and giving a quiet growl. That much felt doable, and it sounded about the same to his ears.

?Anywhere from a couple of days to a week, depending on how well your body reacts as a whole. It?ll take a while before the newer traits become apparent, and your body?s used to handling them. Right now, your system?s gone through some changes, but it hasn?t really gotten a chance to express them all. You seem to be adjusting to it better than I would?ve expected, seeing as you?re still able to control your basic movements.? Yuri nodded towards the information on the machinery before looking back at him. ?As long as you give your body an opportunity to adjust to its newer cells, you should be back to your previous condition within a few days.?

Felix took a few tentative steps before he moved back onto all fours, shaking his arms a little as the feeling slowly returned to them. ?I see. Then I?m going to get to it.?

?What are you talking about, Felix? You just underwent a major operation of sorts. I didn?t expect you to be able to move very much now, and you should-?

?I still have tonight?s workout to do. If my body needs to adjust, I plan on helping it along.? He started moving a little faster, unsteady on his feet but able to manage a more regular walk as he moved down into the hall, bumping slightly into the wall as he passed through the doorway.

Yuri paused for a moment, copying the information from the scans to his pad, glancing over it as the information slipped in. ?Just hope this is accurate?? His walk was distracted as he moved to the gym after Felix, trying to see if there was anything else that could happen.

By the time he had made his way there, Felix was already rushing about the track. His speed was only a little slower than usual, and Yuri quietly watched and monitored Felix through his run. He looked at his body quietly, watching as the motions slowly became more natural, the stiffness slowly passing from his motions as he finished.

Felix slowly picked himself up during the middle of his run, a little unsteady but feeling more stable as he continued his sprint on two legs. By the time he had gotten through another few laps, his speed had returned, and his tail was swishing slightly as he ran, his legs bounding along the ground easily. Yuri tried to sit still and just let Felix move, but after another trip around the track, he had to speak up. ?Felix, don?t you think this is a bit much? You seem back to your old self again here? I mean, you?ve essentially done a few days worth of training nonstop!?

Felix paused for a moment, bringing himself to a stop near where Yuri stood. His legs were half-bent as he moved over, and he shook his head. ?This isn?t it. It still feels weird? It works, but my body still doesn?t feel like it?s working like it should be.?

?Not as it should be? You?ve already broken your last record! If you?re capable of doing something like that already, then I?m sure that it?s just a mental issue!? Felix twitched slightly at the words, looking down at his legs with a bit of curiosity as he took another couple of steps. Yuri saw his odd reaction, and put a hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him down. ?Getting some use is good, but it seems you?ve got more than a few physical things to work on. Perhaps it would be better to rest while you fully ad-?

?I?m not resting now.? Felix?s voice was a bit distracted as he spoke, still trying to move and to get used to how his tail felt as it shook a little. ?I definitely don?t need it yet. I still have other exercises to do, and the bit I?ve done has helped. I?m not stopping until I at least manage my normal workout.?

?At the least, get yourself off of your feet. If you?re totally unbalanced because you haven?t taken care of your other muscles, then it?ll end up badly. It?s still important to get equal training in right now.?

?Well? If you say so.? Felix moved back towards the weights, his walk indiscernible from the way it was before. Yuri quietly muttered under his breath as he went to help set the weight level for him.

?If you?re already changing like that, how long will it take before your body starts to fully react??

Felix quietly grabbed a couple of bars in his hands, taking a breath before he started to lift them. The moment he put his hand on the weight, he gave it a small lift, grunting as he tried to get a full motion with his arm. He did a few test lifts, shifting his grip as he felt the light weight ease him into his motion. ?You can turn it up now, I think I can handle it.? He spoke as he kept pushing through the motions, the stiffness slowly loosening as he tried to move more.

Yuri nodded and quietly hit a button, watching as Felix continued his lifts without missing a beat, struggling a little to move all the way through. He took a few deep breaths as he tried to move through it, single-mindedly pulling his arms up, pushing through the motion and letting the numbness in his arms slowly fade.

?Having a hard time, Felix? Your arms are a little shaky.? Yuri?s eyes caught Felix?s motion as he watched the geo?s arms pause for a moment, hearing him tense slightly as his arm almost totally straightened at the end of a rep.

?Just my arms. They don?t want to move right? Can?t you put up the weight any higher? Maybe that will let me get a decent reaction from this?? Felix lifted the weights again, grunting a little as he pushed his arm all the way up, a light pump in his bicep as he pushed the weight further.

Yuri paused for a moment before nodding. ?If you can handle it, sure.? He aimed for a few more pounds in his mind, but his curiosity overtook him as he watched Felix start again. If his suspicious were right?

He input a few numbers as he watched Felix work, hoping to cause a more gradual change in the weight. It only took a minute before it was up to his normal level, and while Felix?s motions were unstable, his grip was still tight and he continued to move his arms up without breaking his movement.

To Felix, all he saw was the slight twitch in his arms as he moved. Though the dullness in his arms made it difficult for him to feel a change, his eyes were focused enough to see it visibly swelling as he continued, a slight warmth managing to enter his body as he forced it up further.

?Turn it higher. I can handle it.? His tone was a little shaky, but despite his voice being rocky, his confidence was clear. Yuri nodded quietly, already seeing the number at a dozens of pounds past his old records. He made a mental note as he changed it higher, slowly increasing it until he heard Felix audibly grunt, turning to look and watch him.

His grip was starting to dent the metal as he pulled the bar up more, his eyes squinting as he tried to focus, his whole body feeling like it was going into the effort. The bar went up and down for another few minutes, Felix not saying a word before he finished, eventually dropping the bars onto down again, a loud slam coming from the sound of it as he tried to relax himself, taking a number of breaths.

?How? how much was it now?? He brought his hand to arm, looking at it quietly, his mind calm as he tried to compare it to how he looked before. ?It seems a little better, but I still seems numb, so I can?t get a good sense of how much I lifted. I hope that I wasn?t too far below my old standards. Willin would be a bit disappointed if he found out I had lost something overnight.?

Yuri swallowed quietly as he looked over the information he had, trying to figure out exactly how much Felix had changed. ?Looking at your vitals now? Just the couple of exercises you?ve done put on another five pounds.? He looked up from his datapad to Felix?s body, looking at him stand, trying to get a good look over him. ?Not only that, it does seem to be limited to one part of your body. Though it's mostly in your arms, it looks like most of your body has increased slightly.?

?So any workout I do well help overall??

?Until I could run a more detailed scan, that seems to be the most likely situation. I don't know why it wasn't picked up before, but if I could get to some different equipment-?

Felix moved to another larger bar, shaking his head as he raised it into position before he started to do squats with them. ?It?ll have to wait. I?ve still got a lot that I need to try tonight.?
__________

Willin woke slowly, trying to shake his head clear. He felt as though something was off, his mind still half-asleep as he tried to remember exactly when he got into his bed. He gave a yawn and stretched his arms, only noticing they were still bare after he had pulled them out of his sheets.

?How?d I get? I thought I had dressed after I bathed yester??

His mind blanked for a moment before he recalled exactly what occurred. Pushing away his blankets with a start, he nearly ran out the doorway, only pausing when he realized that he needed to dress himself first, or else he would be causing quite a large commotion. In a rush, he threw a shirt and some pants on, not bothering to be neat, just wanting to get out the door as soon as he could.

The moment he did, his eyes met Felix?s, both staring at one another for a few moments. Felix was almost sitting on his legs, but he held himself up carefully so they stood face-to-face. Willin blushed slightly as he looked at Felix, who had an unreadable expression as he just stood there. Willin slowly reached a hand out to scratch Felix behind his ears, and Felix tilted his head down slightly to let him reach more easily.

?Good morning, Felix? Erm? Was your night okay??

?Got a lot done.? He smiled slightly as he held still against Willin?s hand, looking away from his face as he listened. ?How about you??

?I? slept okay, I guess?? Willin kept scratching, but Felix didn?t seem to react normally to it, not purring or pushing very much against his hand. He grew a little nervous about what he was supposed to say, worried that Felix might?ve reacted badly to it all. ?But? Last night was? Well, surprising. I mean, I??

?Did you like it??

?Wha?? Willin stammered a little as he looked at Felix?s face, turning a little flush as he pulled his hand back, blushing deeply as he looked.

Felix turned slightly towards Willin, barely looking at his eyes. ?Me kissing you? Did you like it??

?Er? Well, it was? it was very good, and-?

Felix pushed his hand to the boy?s sides as he lept at Willin, nearly tackling him back onto the floor, pressing his mouth against Willin?s for a single moment. Though he still couldn?t physically feel as much as before, the intensity of the moment was still there, and his senses were still aflame as he pulled his mouth away, keeping his head pressed against Willin as he pushed his head against him. ?Did you like it more than? the one Reeve gave you??

Willin nervously looked at Felix, worried about what the geo might be thinking. He blushed deeply as he tried to move, only getting his arm around Felix?s back as he kept pushing against his face. ?Well? That was? I mean? Reeve?s been nice and everything, but??

Though Felix had been ready to shout the moment that Willin said anything that might help Reeve, he held himself from speaking as he heard Willin say the word ?but?. His heart seemed to pause for a moment, his motion stopping as his whole body seemed to await whatever Willin?s words would be.

?But you?re more important to me. I?ve already told him that? that someone else already had my heart, and? Well, you do, Felix.?

Felix blushed slightly as well, a faint shade of red showing up on his face as he nodded quietly, holding Willin tight as he sat himself up slightly, careful with his grip as he pulled Willin up with him. He shifted a little uncomfortably as he tried to figure out a good position to sit in, and eventually ended up standing up, his hands gently holding Willin?s arms.

?Thanks, ma? Thanks, Willin. I?m glad that you feel the same way. And I?m glad that I?ll be able to protect you from now on.?

Willin felt himself being lifted out of the ground in Felix?s grasp, held tightly against his chest. ?Protect me? Felix? You?ve always been here for me? You?ve always done your best for me, ever since the first day. You?re my best friend, and? and? And from the beginning, you?ve always tried to get bigger just so you could take care of me, right??

Felix slowly let go of his body, shaking his head as he looked down upon Willin?s figure. ?I haven?t? You?ve been in danger the whole time, and I could barely do anything? I trained a bit, but it?s not enough for everything. I still need to do a lot more before I?m ready to protect you.?

?Felix, don?t talk about yourself that way.? Willin gripped his arm tight, reaching out and trying to pull him close, but only managing to get a good squeeze at his arm. ?That time our car fell off the road? I would?ve died if you weren?t with me.?

?But that was just one thing! You?re in a lot more danger, and it hasn?t gone away, and I have to be able to take care of you, no matter what kind of thing might happen. Even if it?s something huge, I have to be able to??

Willin wrapped his arms around Felix?s torso, barely getting his arms around his waist as he hugged him tight. ?I trust my big, strong pet to take care of me.? He looked up to see Felix blush for a moment before just putting on his natural, dopey smile. Willin giggled softly, pressing his hand against Felix?s body. ?You?ve always been working on it, and it shows, Felix. The moment we?ve started, you?ve given your all into it. You?ve worked days and nights, and? And you?re still growing.? He gave a small smile as he gave Felix?s back a soft pat, gripping it firmly. ?I mean, you?re looking bigger every time I see you.?

?I have to be, Willin. Besides, that?s what you want, isn?t it?? Felix smiled a little as he let Willin go, watching him as he stepped back, looking right at one another.

Willin blushed slightly, but nodded firmly. ?Yeah? ?

?And it?s what I want, too. It always feels good, but it?s more important that it makes you happy too, Willin.? Felix nodded as he smiled gently at Willin. ?I want to protect you, and I want to be with you, more than anything else. And I know? I know that we can?t even say anything, and that people will still ask for you because you?ll look open, but? But as long as I can stay by you through it, then it will do until? Until we??

Willin nodded quietly, grasping Felix?s hand. ?And you?ll still have to act like a pet sometimes, too? I guess it means that you?ll probably mate with other geos?? Willin trailed off, thinking about it. It took a minute before a small whine from Felix snapped him back to reality. ?Sorry. Guess it?s still a bit of an odd image to me. I mean, you?re definitely capable, and you?re going to need to relieve yourself sometime. I guess it?s a bit odd to know??

Felix smiled a little bit and nodded. ?It?s okay. You can ask, too.?

?Well? Okay? Did you enjoy it?? Willin looked at Felix, but his reaction was clear as he just stood there, looking right into Willin?s eyes.

?Not as much as this.? He bent down slightly, pressing his face lower. This time, however, Willin half-expected the kiss, and his mouth was ready for it as the two pressed together, going on without another word.

The feeling was electric for both of them, Willing holding on tight and Felix lifting his body up and pulling it close as their tongues touched, pushing all around. Felix?s hand pulled Willin?s head close as they met, and the two of them kept going at it, the seconds turning into minutes as they went on.

The moment only stopped when a clear ring sounded through the room, Willin regretfully pulling aside. ?Ah? Day?s started, and dad?ll be wondering where I am soon? Yesterday was a bit of a mess, and people are going to be talking about what happened between me and Reeve?? He hesitated before starting to move, Felix still holding his hand as they went to the door.

?I?ll be there to make sure that nobody else who might hurt you will get that close again.?

?Hurt me? What are you-?

?Your dad said? Reeve was with the Cunninghams a while ago, and Jeager let me know the same? I might not know the details, but it still sounds bad, Willin.?

Willin?s mind paused to process the information. However, he didn?t really show any major emotion when he finally responded. ?We?ll? talk about it later. Right, now? there are still things I have to do today??

Felix nodded quietly as they walked out of the room. He didn?t know how Willin would respond, or if he had said too much. As they moved out, all he could do was hold onto Willin?s hand, and hope that it was enough to support him through the day.

Even so, he was glad to feel Willin squeezing back against his palm.

[muscl4life]

Yeah...that was an AMAZING chapter Myst. You surely knew how to absorb all the bombs I've previously dropped (sorry about that again) incorporated them into the story and managed to move along with the story without losing the same feeling of excitement. You have done a great job, buddy.

Congratulations

Cornelius Rutherford was a man who did everything by cold, meticulous calculations. He was able to accurately predict the ebb and flow of trade and prices, calmly cut entire departments when financial issues occur and perform each day of work within a fraction off his intended goals.

However, for once he made a…tiny…miscalculation.

“Renovate the entire mansion?”

“Not the entire mansion, just Willin’s room, the walkway to the gym and exit, as well as enlarge the main doorways.” Yuri gave him the data, maps and diagrams of which ones needed expansion. “We will also need to increase the amount of food ordered as well.”

“Again? He’s already eating enough food to feed an entire settlement for a week in a single day. How much more does he need?”

“The enhancement process uses up a lot of energy and burns over a thousand calories per second. If we don’t feed him enough, it’ll cause reverse effects and harm him. In order for this to be a success, we need to-”

“Fine, we’ll feed him until his bottomless stomach is filled up.” Cornelius cut him off from repeated the same explanation for the hundredth time. “However, this is all starting to really add up into a rather sizable investment.”

“Are you beginning to regret proposing this entire operation?” Yuri asked slyly.

“Regret or not, it’s too late to take back what has been done.” Cornelius shook his head. “I am merely saying that abandoning this project in the first place was probably a wise decision. If you had done this on more than one Geo, they could actually eat us into bankruptcy.”

“That’s probably true,” Yuri nodded, “Though once the transition period has ended, Felix should regain a normal appetite for his size.”

“That is still a considerable amount.” Cornelius pointed out. “However, it’ll be worth it to see the expression on that man’s face when he sees how much our ‘common breed’ Geo has grown.”

Surprisingly, the both of them found each other only a minor annoyance instead of completely unbearable as they remembered it. Once the both of them had started to look past their differences towards a common go, they were able to act like two (almost) civilized gentlemen, though they still argued due to old habits.

* * *

Slowly Felix prowled the hall, in search of his prey. The ground shook with each step he took, and if the hallways hadn’t been cleared of all ornaments and wall would have fallen or knocked down by his wide shoulders.

The change since his enhancement was extraordinary. As if Felix wasn’t one of the biggest Geopet’s before, now we was simply colossal. In that short amount of time he had shot up in both height and mass. He towered over everything at 12 foot, 4 inches tall, his body packed on with an incredible 3500 lbs of brawny, shredded muscle. His fur did little to hide the definition and glory that was his body. There was no doubt that there was nothing that could stop this Geo from getting what he wanted.

Stopping in his track, Felix sniffed the air. Carefully he opened the double doors and squeezed through the tiny opening into the room. It was near…its scent was fresh and strong now. It had given him quite a chase, but now he was closing in on his target. Slowly he crept, his nose sniffing constantly to confirm its location. There, he could see it now, hiding in the corner! Oh, how he longed to pin it down and watch it squirm and squish at his whim, how many long nights he had longed and waited for this moment. He crouched down and silently crept closer, not making a single sound or tremor despite his enormous bulk and mass. Slowly, like a predator on the prowl, closer and closer to the object of his desire.. Finally he was unable to wait any longer, Felix’s great muscles bunched up as he leaped over the pieces of furniture and pounced.

The entire mansion shook from the resulting impact. Within a few moments later Willin rushed in only to see what was going on only to find Felix playing with his old squishy toy. Seeing such a huge creature enjoying the feel and sounds of a toy smaller than his thumb was funny enough to send Willin laughing.

“Willin?” Felix looked up from his playing, his tail wagging at the sight of his master.

“Just what are you doing Felix?” Willin asked as he walked towards him.

“I found the squishy toy!” Felix said proudly displayed his catch to him.

Again, Willin couldn’t help but laugh once more. For quite a long while they had been completely focused on Felix’s training and developing the Geo’s amazing physique. Both of them had been so busy and serious since so much was at stake that they had forgotten to play with each other like they used to do. Without even giving another thought, Willin pulled out his handheld and began to tap it rapidly.

“Willin, what are you doing?” Felix asked curiously.

“Clearing my schedule for today,” Willin told him without looking up, “today we’re both taking a break to play.”

Felix looked at Willin with surprise. “But is it really alright to do that? Don’t you have very important meetings to go to? And I have to train since the Pluto Cup is in three days.”

“Which is why it’s that much more important for you to relax and release all the tension that’s been building up for the past few months.” Willin told him. “I think we both deserve it after all the work we’ve put into making you the biggest, strongest Geopet in the world don’t you?”

How could Felix say no to that? Already excited, Felix grabbed Willin and headed outside as fast as his huge legs could carry him.

* * *

The Pluto Cup was a gathering of some of the top Geopet Breeders in the galaxy, as well as sponsors, pet product companies and also the Geopet lovers from everywhere. Willin and his family arrived early on the day of the competition in order to finish the last of the entry and sign in formalities.

“Did you see the look on that inspector’s face when he first saw Felix?” Yuri was still chuckling in mirth. “I thought his eyes would pop out from the way he reacted.”

“It was a good thing you were there to confirm that Felix wasn’t under any illegal substances.” Willin said as they walked into the waiting area. “If we didn’t have the world’s leading authority on Geopets to fast talk them, they might’ve made us wait hours to run tests on Felix.”

“Even without him, I could have paid the usual bribe in order to silence their mouths.” Cornelius said out loud, making sure that the other man could hear him clearly.

“I thought you wanted to conserve money?” The corner of Yuri’s lips lifted.

“A few thousand is barely pocket change to me.” Cornelius pointed out.

Silently Felix listened and followed them, aware of all the eyes that were looking at him. Everyone there was simply stunned by the sheer size and mass that he possessed, the show of power whenever his great muscles flexed simply from walking was enough to put the tails of these alpha males between their legs. He knew he was pretty large, but he never knew how large until he was walking amongst other Geopets like himself. The biggest one there only reached the bottom of his chest, and even he had more mass in a single leg than their entire bodies. Everyone was staring at him in awe, and he didn’t know how to react to all this attention.

The feel of someone touching his thigh brought his eyes downwards. “Don’t worry Felix, I’ll be here with you.” Willin encouraged him. Felix’s tail wagged a bit, feeling better already.

“Well if it isn’t the commoners.” A snide voice cut into the moment. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, belonging to none other than Victor. Even though the event was semi-formal, he was fully dressed in an expensive suit to show off his wealth. Next to him was His father Vladimir, also suited up and standing upright behind them was their Geopet Regal. Regal had gained some pretty decent size and mass since they last saw him, but even though he was completely dwarfed by Felix’s huge bulk, he held that same graceful and noble bearings as before.

“I see you both haven’t decided to drop out yet.” Cornelius remarked.

“Oh I never back down when we’re about to win.” Vladimir said cockily, not even surprised by the size of Felix, and yet that didn’t surprise the Rutherfords either. They all knew that the other had their own information resources, and it was nigh impossible to hide something as big as Felix. Still, they all noticed how their eyes kept on flicking up to the huge Geo and how tense they looked. Hearing it from another source may be one thing, but seeing Felix up close definitely had an effect.

“Look at that father, they think that if they pack on enough muscle on their shabby pet they could win.” Victor sneered. “All they’ve done is made it needlessly grotesque. They’re forgetting that half of the show is about presentation.”

“The other half is also about power and endurance.” Yuri reminded them. “And from the look between our two pets, it’s clear who has the advantage in that department.”

“We’ll see about that.” Vladimir sneered. “Come along Victor, they will begin the show soon.”

The two Cunningham’s left, followed by their pet. As they were leaving, Regal’s eyes looked over at Felix briefly before he turned his gaze forward again to leave with his masters.

“Well they were certainly confident.” Yuri muttered. “I’ll bet they’ve bribed the judges.”

“If that’s the case I’ve already bribed the judges back so it could still go either way. However, don’t let your guard up just yet, this competition has many room for some foul play.

“Whatever they try to bring on us, Felix and I will be ready for them.” Willin said confidently. Felix barked in agreement.

“Remember Willin, RITA’s financial standings are depending on you.” Cornelius reminded him firmly.

“But no pressure.” Yuri rolled his eyes.

Hey guys!

Here's part 16, I hope you like it!

Cheers,

Part 16

Normally, the Geo shows had two parts: posture and poise. In the former, judges analyzed the animals? physical condition, compared their stats and evaluated the overall potential of the specimens, while in the latter, the trainer should conduct a few strength and coordination routines to demonstrate his control over his Geo; the winner would be the one which got the highest score.

However, the competition in Pluto Geopet Cup consisted in three different parts: physical excellence, Strength Competition and the famous Challenge Circuit Race. Each phase would count with a third of the final score.

At Physical excellence part, Geopets are judged according to their muscular development level, mass volume, proportions, symmetry and the overall level of genetic excellence for a specimen. That was indeed considered the most ceremonial phase of the competition, mostly because its rules derived from a certain sport practiced in Earth many years before the Disband.

?In fact, many History experts were emphatic to state that Geopet shows are direct descendents of the primitive Earth sport named bodybuilding, in which earlier human beings dedicated their lives to achieve remarkable standards of muscular development, the rules and many of the mandatory poses are easily linkable to the Physical Excellence routine; several records of those primitive competitions were found during archeological diggings, they all show human beings competing to see who would have the best looking physique. Since mankind had been once much brawnier and physically bigger than current standards, certain individuals called ?bodybuilders? could achieve unheard size and proportions, although not even the biggest reported data could match the most modest stats of a Geopet??

Cornelius rolled his eyes ?Yes, old man we have all heard your lectures before, our forefathers were big, brawny and dumb. Geopets are our equivalent for bodybuilders since our current physical stats cannot reach the muscularity level reported before the Disband, big deal, those brawny stupid cavemen only wore 10 percent of their huge brains, and it was indeed a waste of biologic material! Today, however, instead of straining our own physiques or killing ourselves with illegal substances we focus on more important things and still have our pets to do the hard work?? The CEO replied as he tried to get more comfortable at their VIP chamber.

Yuri and Willin exchanged looks, they both knew quite well that Cornelius was very nervous about the stakes of this competition. Willin tapped his uncle?s thick muscular thighs.

?Thanks for clearing that out for me, Uncle Yuri?but in a way I have to agree with dad, even if humans themselves had once been the contenders of this bodybuilding sport, Geopets have excelled in such area, even before Felix the Geo shows have revealed incredible specimen!?

Yuri shrugged ?I wasn?t making a point, I was just trying to bring the light of knowledge into certain medieval minds, but the most important now is for you to relax and enjoy this part of the show, after all this is the only part where Geos are not to be assisted by their trainers??

Willin nodded ?Yeah, but it?s killing me you know? I just wanted to be there for Felix so he won?t feel nervous, I know he?s the biggest and most massive Geo that ever existed, but he?s still?my blue baby?? The teenager said, ignoring the look of disapproval in his father?s face.

?I?ve been there before remember? It?s normal to feel nervous for Felix, but I am sure your ?baby? had grown big enough to handle his competition, now you sit back and relax, the show is about to start!? Yuri said as the lights of the Intergalactic Coliseum dimmed.

A very well dressed man went up the stage ?Ladies and Gentlemen, it?s my honor to announce that the competitions for the 32th Pluto Cup for Geopets are officially open, as the first phase we will now start the Physical Excellence judgment??

The announcer introduced the judge panel, both Cornelius and Vladimir grinned mischievously as the names were called. Once the formalities were covered, the show finally started.

One by one, the Geos were called to the stage; each specimen presented wearing only the same pouch to cover their very large manhood. Each Geo was an indeed a glorious display of muscularity and physical excellence, but the judges? eyes were much more cruel, what looked simply amazing to the audience could actually be considered pathetic by the experienced panel.

The Geos lined before the judges. Usually, each Geo would show a very confident, powerful expression as he was presented, but there was something different today, Willin noticed that each new competitor looked very disappointed, almost like they were embarrassed to be competing. Of course when Regal was called on stage, the White Crest showed all the typical poise and arrogance of his family, the audience cheered for him, since he was one of the Geopet champions, the favorite according to the specialists.

Seventeen enormous Geopets were lined up before the judges and the entire audience, but Willin noticed that everybody still looked very unsure, especially the staff members, most of them were experienced Geo trainers, still their apprehension was noticeable.

?Dear members of the audience we kindly ask you to be as most quiet as possible, the next contestant is a rookie Geopet without any behavior restriction device, so for your own safety, let?s not make the specimen instable??

Cornelius grinned ?Looks like they are afraid of Felix, which is always the best form of respect!? Yuri just shook his head but Willin felt a bit sad, because he knew Felix was the sweetest creature ever, and he should be suffering from making those guys so scared of his size.

The audience took a few seconds to attend the announcer?s request, many people were against the possibility of a Geopet to compete without their control devices, but finally, the announcer received permission from the direction to continue with the show.

?The next contestant, representing Team Rutherford is the Blue Ear Geopet Felix, trained by Willin Rutherford.?

Suddenly, the stage floor opened behind the lined contestants. The suspense thrilled the audience, artificial smoke and holographic laser show emerged from the center of the stage, the tune played in a crescendo rhythm, even the other Geos broke their concentration to peek at the rising contestant.

Yuri grinned as he looked at Willin ?Well?there?s nothing in the rules that prevent any contestant to use special effects at his introductory presentation, and your father actually pointed to the judges that Felix? weight could compromise the staircase for the other Geopets, so we just brought a harvesting lift to rise our blue boy into the stage??

Everybody gawked as Felix slowly rose from the gap behind the other contestants, his sheer size and muscularity seemed to grow as the impressive tune played. People gasped as they noticed the massiveness of those impressively giant shoulders, standing higher than Felix? head, joined by the fact that the Blue ear?s deltoids and neck muscles melted into one powerful mass of unheard proportions. After all, Felix shoulders stood precisely 9 feet and 8 inches across, which gave him the most impressive width of all times, his muscles filled the entire frame and created an impossibly attainable standard for muscularity.

Felix?s face pointed downward his monstrous pectoral muscles, his eyes closed to avoid distractions from the fortress of hairy blue muscular presented to the shocked audience, as Felix? towering figure was slowly being lifted into the stage, it was inevitable to overlook how much he dwarfed the other Geopets, his body continuing to rise from the middle of the lights and the colored vapors. The chest on Felix stood at 112 inches of ultra hard and impossibly thick muscles.

Even though he was there with Felix every single day, Willin was just as shocked as any other spectator, because that show was not planned, Felix would just walk to the stage as the other specimen. Yuri looked blinked at him. ?Whose idea was this?? Willin partially covered his face as he mouthed those words to the Uncle and Eldritch just pointed to the stage.

Suddenly, Willin froze; Felix?s arms were now visible to the audience, following the line of his most impressive shoulders, the curves of those humongous triceps only augmented the feeling of immense power that Blue ear transmitted, as the heroic figure rose into the stage the other Geopets seemed to be shrinking both in size and strength, the little confidence they still had slowly faded from their faces, even Regal now gulped, trying to maintain his famous poise. Each uncanny arm stood at the amazing mark of 70 inches of incomparable brawn, which made them even wider than those monstrous shoulders.

Felix kept immovable during the whole process, his eyes firmly closed as his marvelous figure towered over the rest of the contestants, the size of his relaxed biceps was just mind blowing, even the blue fur could never cover up the thick veins, the ultimate size of his arms looked so amazing, making the rest of the Geos suddenly pathetic wimps, Felix just gently shook those titanic limbs and the sinuous dance of the millions of fibers formed several mosaic of striations, the peaks and rugged shapes covered those biceps at the same time the tune and the light effects completed the whole picture: Felix was not just better that the rest, he was unique, and that competition was pointless.

Nonetheless, Felix? incomparable figure continued to shock the audience, the rest of his hulking pectoral hemispheres and the sheer definition like of the ancient definition of ?stonewash stomach?, sixteen unbelievably huge knots seemed sculpted directly into Felix? brawn, each one seemed to have its own movement and pace according to the breathing movements of the rising behemoth.

Slowly, Felix? figure showed the amazing width of his lats, the thickness of those muscles that seemed to give wings to the most impressive Geopet of all times. There he stood over the rising platform, almost immovable, to cause a much greater impact as his glorious proportions were displayed to the shocked audience. They had send how massively wide and thick Felix?s upper body was, but when his waist came into view, most of the audience members couldn?t help but gasping very loud, if those shoulders stood nearly at the 10 feet mark, having a merely 38 inches waist surely gave Felix an incredible shoulder/waist ratio accentuating the amazing V-shape of his monumental figure.

By that time, everyone noticed how much taller Felix stood compared to the other competitors, and yet his incomparable legs hadn?t been shown yet, those pillars for a muscle temple of unheard proportions stood at the shocking size of 82 inches around, becoming so massive and so striated. Again, Felix stood as immovable as he could but then, at the compass of the tune, he would shake those monstrosities of his thighs creating real tsunamis of muscular contraction, showing just how cut and defined those muscles were even with the fur coverage, Felix muscles were so hard and ripped like only an extraordinary Geopet like him could get.

At the same time, people could not stop gasping and commenting on the humongous bulge of the rising behemoth. Willin just mentally prayed for a higher power to avoid Felix?s pouch from ripping again, during their training they have tested dozens of different materials but none seemed to satisfy the endurance levels Felix? cock required, Yuri just resourced to using an experimental liquid titanium alloy that could be literally painted over the Geopet?s body, making a very brilliant silver poser that matched the blue fur of his friend, however it only made Felix? manhood even more obscene, but at least they would not risking to have a naked Geo during the competition.

The sheer size of those 56? calves was much bigger than the thighs of the biggest Geos, but at that point it was indeed just another detail. As the rest of his glorious physique was finally displayed into public view, the tune took a new pace, a very thrilling and contagious energetic beat inspired in the ancient Earth ?rock and roll? music, the audience was not used to such powerful sounds, but they soon got used to the loudness and several effects that emphasized the greatness of that competitor.

Willin watched carefully as Felix finished his theatrical entrance, the tune grew closer to its apotheosis, the colored vapors and the brilliant lights blinked in synchrony as the platform finally reached the stage level.

At the exact same time, a strong light canon lit Felix, making his muscles so much more visible, the monumental Geopet continued facing the ground with the eyes closed. Then, all of a sudden Felix opened those beautiful eyes, the same eyes Willin grew used to adore, their gazes immediately locked, it felt like the Geopet had immediately located his owner among thousands of people inside the dark theater. Willin gulped, the usual tenderness of Felix? gaze was gone and it was replaced by a powerful, mandatory glare.

For one single moment, it was like there was only Willin inside the crowded theater, the trainer could swear Felix was mouthing the words ?Show time? to him. Then, Felix gave a grin and took a step forward, the stage actually shook noticeably, causing the other contestants to lose their stance.

Even standing from behind the rest of the Geos, Felix looked like he was alone in the stage, none of them offered any kind of competition to him, they were towered, dwarfed, overwhelmed, overgrown, and overpowered. Yet, the massive Geo seemed to want more, he just took another step forward and the remaining opponents just squeezed to the sides clearing an enormous area of the stage for the ultra massive blue ear, which Felix gladly and quickly filled with his mountainous presence, placed exactly in the middle of the stage, drawing the attention of all those present. The 17 other Geopets just squeezed as they saw fit, because none of them dared to challenge the monster among monsters.

?And this is just the beginning?? Cornelius added as he noticed the look of despise in Vladimir?s face.

After Felix? outstanding entrance, the Physical Excellence judgment took place, although it was a bit awkward to see how frail, skinny and small those other Geopets looked by the simple fact they were standing in Felix? presence, his gargantuan physique and awesome proportions simply blew the rest of the competition, but still the judges continued in their formal task to evaluate the physical gifts on the contestants.
The mandatory poses routine suddenly became a horrible and cruel humiliation?for the rest of the Geopets, although their muscles were by far bigger and more powerful than any human ever imagined, when Felix performed each of those poses, he just eclipsed the rest of the competition.

Truth to be told, not a single soul inside the Intergalactic Coliseum could take the eyes of the enormous Geopet representing Team Rutherford as he flexed to the order of the judges, the sheer size, the incredible volume, the symmetry and proportions were indeed different from the current standards, but it was impossible to overlook the fact Felix had inaugurated a new era of physical achievements, his muscles and poise were just undefeatable and the other Geopets suddenly seemed out of their own league.

At a certain point, Willin felt uncomfortable, the judges kept calling the rest of the Geopets for particular confrontations, mostly because Regal was called several different times to confront with other contestants, while the enormous Felix just stood there, with a powerful look, immovable like a statue of a true Muscle God.

?Uncle, why aren?t they calling Felix too? Is it some kind of punishment for the way he took the stage??

Yuri grinned ?There?s no reason to be worried, boy, the judges only ask for competitors to confront when they are in doubt, if they are not calling Felix it means they know exactly how to rank him.?

Willin nodded ?I just hope it is a good position??

Yuri was indeed comfortable, he knew each and every judge in that panel and he could see by their faces they were simply shocked and marveled with Felix? muscles, their impressive e size, the sheer volume and magnificent proportions, if they weren?t calling him for the confrontation part it was only because they actually wanted to see the rest of the contestants, and if they were posing along with Felix, it suddenly became impossible to notice anything else but the amazing giant Blue Ear Geopet and his mind blowing musculature.

After the mandatory posing routine, the Geos were supposed to return backstage and wait for the solo performance, each Geo would have a few moments to show a short routine for the judges and the audience. One by one, the competitors came into the stage for their attempts, but it was clear at that point, they?d been only fulfilling mere formalities, the audience couldn?t pay greater attention to these Geopets, not that they didn?t deserve for their physiques were indeed marvelous, but everybody waited impatiently for a certain performance.

Finally, it was time for Felix? presentation. One could actually feel the tension in the crowd; whispers, comments, and suppositions. Until Team Rutherford was called for the solo performance, at this very moment an absolute silence overtook the Coliseum.

Once again, a powerful tune resounded, new and improved special effects created the impression the stage had turned into the center of an unknown galaxy, where a Supernova exploded in front of their very eyes. Differently from his first entrance, Felix simply jumped from backstage, although the impact of his impressive weight caused the ground to shake visibly, it was also noted that Felix had indeed softened the impact as much as he could, displaying a tremendous grace in his massive physique. He actually fell in the exact center of the stage, the overwhelmingly massive presence of his towering figure drawing maximum attention from every audience member to the blue furred colossus.

Felix? smile was confident, Willin suddenly remember he used to have a chipped tooth, but thanks to Yuri?s rejuvenation chamber, now his smile was flawless just like the rest of him, the most impressive, the ultimate Geopet. Felix? flexing was just impeccable, alternating moments of pure fluid poetry, where those massive limbs would just exhibit their tremendous volume with the impacting explosion of those same unearthed muscles once the behemoth in blue fur flexed them. Thanks to Felix? epic endurance he could keep the flexing for incredibly long periods and right before he changed position he would give the extra pump which made the muscle peak even higher even more massive, just to remind them that he was far from his full potential.

What had started as a quiet, passive adulation suddenly turned into a cheerful, vibrating ovation. Everybody stood up and began screaming for the gargantuan Geo. The crew suddenly feared for the worst, but Felix proved them wrong once again, the immense being just smiled, his enhanced senses instantly located Willin, noticing that he too was part of the commotion.

Felix was happy, just as happy as he could be whenever he woke up having Willin in his arms, just as happy as he could be when talking to the sweetest and kindest human being, and nearly as happy as he was to kiss the lips of his human friend. The energy filled the Geopet?s heart and he simply hit a frontal double biceps pose that sent the entire Coliseum into a complete frenzy. The ovation just continued as the humongous being kept his massive muscles flexed, each peak suddenly grew higher and thicker as Felix continued flexing which challenged anything Yuri had ever studied about the anatomy of a Geopet. Yet, Felix continued, his gaze locked with Willin?s, albeit the deafening noise of the place, for the Geopet and his master it was like nobody else existed, that was, for all purposes, a private flexing session.

Willin had a boner, but he couldn?t care less for that fact, all that commotion because of Felix? muscles could only mean most of the audience members were just as sexually aroused as he was. Realizing it also meant that Uncle Yuri and Cornelius Rutherford could be hiding their own boners as well; Yuri decided to let that thought aside and focused on his massive Supernova, the explosion of muscle spreading throughout the entire universe.

Even judges had lost their initial serious, impartial posture, they too have become cheering spectators, applauding and whistling for their newest muscular Geopet. Those uptight serious gentlemen sounded just as excited as the rest of the crowd, especially when Felix moved to his final pose, his beautiful friendly face turned into a ferocious expression of the deadliest predator.

It was indeed fearsome, the already impressive an unimaginable massive muscles of the colossal Geopet suddenly grew so much harder and thicker, it seemed like he was augmenting right in front of the marveled audience, the unbelievable sinew of that Felix? body grew even more rugged and veined, the crossed surface of his giant muscles seemed to harden and to get even more powerful as Felix tightened his limbs, locking them into the ultimate most-muscular pose ever done in the history of the Galactic Federation.

Felix roared, demonstrating the next evolutionary step of the most ferocious beasts, the impact of his flexing just made the entire audience go back into silence; the fangs of the Geopet suddenly unveiled all their potential for scaring.

The harder those muscles flexed the bigger and thicker they seemed; the combined effect of the whole presentation suddenly made all the commotion to cease because people suddenly realized that Felix was just unstoppable a juggernaut of immense muscles that could easily pulverize them all. Even the other Geopets who gathered backstage to watch Felix? performance, entranced by his gargantuan charm, just assumed submissive posture when the Blue Ear hit his absolute most muscular pose.

Willin was just spellbound; the same sweet, docile, little Geopet he took now made into an unstoppable behemoth of unheard proportions, he had dreamt about that moment so many nights in a row, he had even discussed it with Felix, but he never imagined the Geo would actually follow his dream down to the smallest detail.

Felix had done everything to fulfill Willin?s wishes, the Rutherford heir looked at the impossibly huge creature at the center of the stage, his muscles exploding in size and power just like he imagined so many nights.

The music stopped but Felix held his absolutely impressive stance as long as possible, his muscles pumping and flexing as he slightly changed the angles to show all the ruggedness and definition on his physique. Finally, the audience once again clapped and cheered for the incredible spectacle.

The mean, scaring face of the biggest Geopet ever suddenly vanished and his nice adorable smile returned to where it should never had left, Felix greeted the audience and the judges and walked heroically towards backstage.

Yuri tapped Willin?s shoulders The teenager snapped out of his ecstasy trance. ?That was quite a show huh? I don?t even need the results to know we have a great head start, I?d say Felix scored more than the 6 runner ups all together??

?Heh, let?s not be so hasty, sure Felix impressed them, but they?re experienced judges they won?t be so impressed by that performance?? Willin noticed the announcer returning to the stage with the results.

?After the first phase of the 32nd Pluto Cup, here we have the preliminary results.? The man said as the holographic screen indicated the numbers. Yuri just grinned.

?Yeah, you?re right; he scored over TWICE the amount of the 6 runner ups summed up.? The scientist pointed as the audience cheered for the acclaimed winner of the Physical Excellence phase.

Willin gasped, he never thought one Geo could score that much, it was indeed a great start, but they still had to keep their focus for the rest of the competition, especially because their enemies were indeed sneaky.

Cornelius extended his hand to his son ?You?ve done a great job with this Geo, son, I?ve certainly did the right thing when I let you buy that specimen?? Although Yuri just rolled his eyes, Willin was so shocked about being complimented by his uptight father he didn?t even care for the fact Cornelius had manipulated facts in order to make it seem like it was all his merit in the end.

?Thank you father, I appreciate your compliments, but the competition is just beginning, we still have

?I think Felix will need you for the next phase of the competition, boy.? Yuri commented as the message prompted into the holo-screen.

?Yeah?I gotta go now, wish us good luck!? Willin said as he headed backstage to meet Felix. The trainer of Team Rutherford passed by Viktor Cunningham as they both approached stage access.

?I?ll let you know that my team is right now contesting these ridiculous results, your abomination is a clear menace to our safety, and we want him disqualified from??

?Frankly Viktor, I could care less for what you and your pathetic team think, we both know they will never disqualify Felix, and I saw you applauding Felix, so let?s just cut the small talk and get along with the show, okay?? Willin actually poked Viktor?s chest and cornered him against the wall. The young Rutherford had never been that brave before, but that was Felix? moment and he wouldn?t let anyone ruin it.

Viktor gasped while Willin turned his back on the arrogant teenager. Right now Willin only wanted Felix to destroy the rest of the competition.

?It?s not over yet, Willin, you just wait and see!? Viktor said as he readjusted his stance and furiously summoned his Geopet through the control pad.

The backstage of the Intergalactic Coliseum was indeed enormous, lots of people and automats running from side to side to get the next phase ready. The Geopets and their trainers were asked to go to the gymnasium for warming up, but Willin knew that Felix needed no such thing.

As shocking as it seemed, Willin didn?t seem to find Felix, and given to his enormous size it was an almost impossible accomplishment. All of a sudden, an enormous blue arm easily grabbed Willin by the waist and gently lifted him; a warm wet pink tongue already licked his entire face at once.

?Okay, okay, boy, I'm happy to see you too!? Willin tried to protest as the furred blue mountain of muscles licked his face very kindly. They both exchanged looks, normally they would just converse, but it could ruin their secret, Felix just smiled, staring fixedly to his master.

?It was just like your dreams, huh, Willin?? The smiling Felix had an even more charming and handsome look in his face.

Willin shook his head, he might be hearing things, he told Felix many times that they wouldn?t be able to talk during the entire competition, his beloved Geopet couldn?t jeopardize their secret.

?Don?t worry, Willin, we?re not talking, well not through spoken words anyway. We don?t need words to communicate anymore; I can project my thoughts into your mind and hear those you think.?

?WHAT?? Willin first said out loud, but then he immediately transformed it into a mental exclamation, noticing that Felix enjoyed the situation.

?It?s something I?ve been developing for a few days, I wanted to make sure it worked before I tried it on you, and it did! I heard all your thoughts, I moved just like you wanted me to do, I wanted you to feel just like in your dreams, Willin.? The Geopet telepathically said to the trainer, who just blushed even deeper.

?So, on top of everything you?re also a telepath? Does Uncle Yuri know that??

Felix grinned even broader ?He has no idea, and it?s nice to notice he is so excited about my developed, and even your father is in awe, I wish you heard how impressed he was with you, Willin!?

?Felix, I know this is all new and exciting, but there?s something called privacy, it would be full tyranny if people are not granted the right to the secrecy of their own thoughts.? Willin mentally told his massive Geopet, he knew that Felix wouldn?t resource to such low methods, but he needed guidance with his ever developing skills.

?I am sorry, Willin, I didn?t mean to break into their minds, they were just projecting those thoughts so strongly I just captured them?? Felix apologized but he knew Willin would never stay mad with him for more than a few seconds.

?Alright, I know you didn?t mean that, but from now on, you ?knock? before entering my mind huh? I am loving that we have this new way of conversation, but don?t you go abusing it, you hear me?? Willin smiled back at Felix and they both went to the gym area.

?Oh, congratulations, that show was just amazing! Your score was simply absurd! We got a great head start in the competition.?

Felix grinned ?Yeah, it was great, but I knew that already, I was following your dreams, and I only want to make you happy Willin, I am here for you, because no one will ever hurt you!?

?Thanks, Felix you mean a lot to me as well, you know that.?

?I know?I really know what you meant? and you should know that it?s mutual? Felix projected that thought knowing that it would make the teenager blush in all shades of red.

?Felix??

?But right now we have to focus in the competition, the Strength part is not hard at all, but we gotta keep an eye on Regal and the Cunninghams, I?ve detected illegal technology signs coming from that White Crest, there might be something dangerous here??

?Dangerous? Why would it be dangerous? They must be just trying to adulterate the results.?

Felix? expression was getting more intense with the seconds ?Don?t worry, I am permanently linked to the computers within this whole area, I will detect the slightest attempt to hack the system.?

Willin shook his head again ?Can you actually do that? WOW??

?I can do much more than you imagine, Willin, but you don?t have to worry, I am here to protect you, and they have no idea what is coming for them!?

Willin was about to ask what Felix meant by that, but then the sign for the second part of the show was about to start.

?Show must go on huh?? Felix grinned as he licked his trainer once again, gently placing him at the ground.

?Yeah?show must go on?? Willin replied as he got his data set for the Strength Competition phase.

To be continued.

Sorry for taking a fair length of time with the chapter this time. Hopefully, it's a chapter that's enjoyable.

----------

The strength segment of the cup was simple. Every pet would perform a short routine, guided by the trainer. Points were to be awarded based on the pet's coordination, the various displays that were made, and, of course, the weight used during the routine.

It didn't take much effort to see who had the clear advantage as everybody waited for their part of the segment to begin. Despite the light smile he had and the relaxed posture he held as he began to warm up, the slightest motions he made still reinforced the aura of strength he gave off.

The area was almost silent. Now that so many people had seen Felix, it was difficult to keep the attention off of him, even backstage. The entire place was nervous, almost every eye on him as he just gave a vague smile, though his conversation with Willin never halted for a moment as they went over their performance. Although a few scattered words were shared among the contestants, and a few tried to work on their own preparations, it was difficult for anybody to pull their eyes away from the pair.

In fact, the restraint that a number of pets and trainers had was wavering as Willin stood nearby, barely guiding Felix as he warmed up, if it could even be called that. Although a number of items were left around, similar to those on the stage, even they were not built to handle Felix's strength. Even with the smile he managed to hold, the way he managed to simply toss some of the dense blocks around without a second though was intimidating to those nearby, straining a bit in preparation.

?Felix, don't overdo it, alright?? Willin's voice was about as calm as he could keep it, though his enthusiasm was clear. He heard a small, echoing tap in his mind as Felix paused for a moment, the block lightly held at the edge of his grip.

Willin kept watching as he gave the block a small toss again before shifting it to the ground again with a resonating thud. Shaking his head a little, the boy tried to send Felix a message. Willin still felt awkward trying to ?speak? to him through his thoughts, uncertain about if he was listening. ?We still want people to take this seriously!? Despite his worries, Willin couldn't help but keep a slight grin on his face as he watched Felix just change his position again, slipping down onto all fours, just nudging the block aside with his tail, a quiet scraping sounding as he bent a bit to meet Willin's gaze.

The voice in his mind calmed him as Felix replied. ?I know, Willin. I hope that the actual competition has decent devices, I won't be able to do a thing if it's all like this. I know you requested some special equipment, but I don't know if that'll be enough.? Despite the vague smile Felix had, and despite the way he just held his gaze towards Willin, his other senses were elsewhere, trying to pick up any sense of what was being planned. His ears were perked in anticipation for anything that was said, especially by Victor.

However, he didn't find any signs of anything. Although his hearing was focused, Victor hardly ever spoke a word, and his preparations didn't seem out-of-place.

?Don't worry about it. The strength competition's definitely to be ours. There's no way that anybody's going to be stronger than you, and by now, I'm sure you've got plenty of new ways to show it.? Felix tilted his head a little, faking a curious look as Willin just laughed. ?Oh, come on. After your entrance, you expect me to believe that it was the only surprise you've got planned??

?Well, you've got the hard part. You can't look surprised, or else they won't think it's part of the performance.? Felix kept grinning, moving slightly and nuzzling into Willin's side. ?Can you handle it??

?I'm not going to get a full performance otherwise, right? I have to if I want to see this.? Willin began to bring his hand down to scratch at Felix's head, but found his fingers against his ear before he had a chance to move. ?Besides, you'd know when to stop, so it's no problem.? Felix just kept his usual smile, making Willin nod his head a little as he glanced at him. ?Just let me know what orders to give if you're going to try something, okay??

?Your part of the routine should be fine as it is. Just go along with it, I'm sure you'll figure out what I'm thinking of.? Felix purred softly as received a light scritching from Willin, only turning slightly as he noticed a couple of pets shifting nervously towards him.

?You sure attracted plenty of attention, didn't you?? Willin grinned as he watched the pet nervously move closer, only to stopped by his owner, determinedly averting his gaze from the two of them. ?I guess you've attracted your share of fans as well.?

Felix's eyes glinted for a moment before he let off a low growl, almost everybody's focus suddenly on him as he did. Despite the best efforts of the humans around, a number of pets stopped mid-task in order to meet his gaze as he just glanced around the room, nobody daring to make a sound. ?You could say that, yes.?

?Hey, you're enough of a distraction for them as it is!?

There were a few nervous glances from everybody before the sound slowly returned to the room. It was quite difficult for anybody to concentrate after that, and while most of the pets were able to return to their preparations, a few of them were clearly out-of-it, still staring at Felix as he turned back to Willin.

?Not to everybody. The main competition's well-trained, at least.? He gave a small nod towards Regal, who was still turned away, his fur on end but clearly ignoring the small outburst that had occurred.

?Any luck figuring what the equipment on him is supposed to do??

?Not yet. Whatever it's doing doesn't seem to be interfering with anything. I'll keep an eye on Regal, maybe something will show up. However, I'm more worried about Victor.?

Willin tensed slightly, glancing over to him as well. He was muttering something under his breath as he watched Regal prepare, focused but still shaky.

?He's been muttering about how this competition's biased, and how you shouldn't be allowed to enter with me, and so on.? Felix shook his head a tiny bit, rolling his eyes. ?I'd take a listen at what he's thinking, but you asked me to keep it private for now. It's probably more of the same, though.?

?Let's just focus on our part, and we'll worry about it if it looks like he'll do something. If you like, you can keep an eye on him during his performance, and we'll see if anything happens then.?

Felix nodded, silent again as he gave a pleasant bark, the feeling of the room suddenly more relaxed as Willin stepped back, speaking verbally again. ?Right, then, Felix. Shall we get back to it??

Felix just gave a large nod as he stood back up, picking up the block again, his motion a bit slower than before, but still as smooth as ever as his grip on it tightened, his arm slowly tensing as he pulled it up.

----------

?And our next geo is Regal, with his trainer, Victor Cunningham!?

Victor just turned towards the stage, his composure set, a smug smile on his face as he walked, speaking to Willin as he passed by without turning his gaze. ?It's about time for you to understand the difference between a proper pet and a mutt like yours.?

Felix's mouth slipped open slightly as he growled, but the pair continued to stroll by without a pause. His ears twitched for a moment, but his stance never changed as he watched them leave.

?Typical Victor. It figures, really.? Willin shook his head before looking back to Felix, closing his eyes again to try to give Felix a sign. ?Are you going to be able to keep an eye on him from here??

?I think so. The commotion from the announcers is more than enough, I've been listening to the routines so far.? The two of them turned the corner to the stage before Felix shook his head for a moment, moving his eyes from the pair.

?Felix, something up??

?Just didn't ever expect Regal to say anything, I guess.?

?He said something??

?Growled, if you prefer. It was quiet, but yes, he did.?

?What did he say, then??

?'Good Luck.' That's all.? Felix's eyes turned up a bit for a moment as he thought, though it was shortly interrupted by a rather vague expression. ?Well, I suppose that figures. If that's all of his plan, he didn't really think things through, did he??

?Victor did something already?? Willin tried to hide his concern, but Felix just nodded back to him, his eyes coming back down to meet Willin's without a hint of worry.

?Let's just say someone found out what our routine was going to be, and told him. It looks like he copied a chunk of what he could. The weight's been set to what we had before I was enhanced, and he's done a fair job showing it.? Willin stared for a moment, a hint of suspicion in his mind.

?The old routine? But Regal isn't capable of-?

?Don't worry about it for now. We can deal with the details after. Besides, what he copied was the old one. It looks like you're not going to be the only one to get a surprise.?

----------

?Ready now??

?Always.?

?Then let's get going.?

Holding tight onto Felix's wrist, Willin slowly began to lead him to the stage. Felix followed lightly, his heavy footsteps padding across the floor. There was a heavy silence as they approached, it unquestionable as to who was next as the audience waited.

?And now, Ladies and Gentlemen! Our next pair is currently the leaders of the competition, and have left quite an impression on the competition thus far! Let's see what other records they break! It's Willin and his geo Felix!?

The roaring of the crowd blasted the air, the two of them both relaxed and looking towards each other before turning to meet the audience. It wasn't hard to see that they had been waiting for their turn, some shifting about just from another look at the massive geo.

Wordlessly, Willin let go of Felix's arm, his eyes turning from the crowd. Felix looked back, bending down slightly as he looked at the block. It was an oddly-tinted alloy he was unfamiliar with, and he was eager to test it out, but he continued to just look out into the crowd patiently, his relaxed smile still on his face.

The remarks of the announcer slowly died down to nothing as it quickly became clear that nobody was listening, the announcement of the weight fading into silence as his own view of Felix made it difficult for him to say another word. Willin silently nodded to the pet, a quiet tune of music starting to play in the background as Felix began to move, Willin following slowly. As he gripped at a corner of the block and felt its weight, barely pulling against it, he just gave Willin a quiet smile. ?This'll be just fine.?

?Up!? Willin shouted clearly, Felix's face suddenly sharpening, no trace of anything but a dutiful compliance as he bent slightly, reaching down to the sides, gripping it tight and growling softly before slowly lifting it, his arms held straight, just showing the swelling bend in them as he pulled it upwards.

As he pulled it up, Willin simply moved closer, standing nearby, eyes on his motion. By now, it didn't matter whoever else was watching. This was a show for him as much as anybody else, and despite the face that Felix had, it was clear that he was still acting on his own as the block came down again, almost completely tilted, but his grip still holding it stable.

?Lift it!? It only took a moment before Felix had the block over his head, his full body in view, all of it tense and shifting as he pushed it. He held the stance for a moment before dropping his arms again, repeating the motion, his body pushing harder with each motion, the clarity of his muscles only increasing as he forced them all to bend, the emphasis in his shoulders but every bit of him swelling further as he did.

?Down!? The motion of the block was quick, but Willin simply stood there as it slid by his face, halting right in front of him. It only took a moment before the block was up against, Felix's motion smooth and confident as he continued.

As the routine continued, Willin's heart began to race. Felix was wordlessly acting on the simple commands he gave, but the risks he was taking seemed forceful at times. A number of times, he felt himself get grazed as Felix began to handle the block more quickly, shifting it around as one of his hands slowly moved away.

Cheering and shouts filled the room, the music rising to fill the mood as Willin continued to give short cues, Felix starting to grunt softly as he continued, a bit of effort starting to show on his focused face. His body pushed further and further, starting to rub against Willin slightly as he felt a blast of air from behind, the block set behind him.

However, despite the apparent danger of the routine, his face was still composed and his mind never wavered, always telling him to stay in place and to trust Felix with whatever thrills he decided to give. He gave a small nod before speaking clearly again, no longer even aware of the commands he was giving, his mind blanking at the feeling of his own body lifted by the enormous mound under him.

As the routine continued, the motions between the two became more smooth, it taking less and less time for Felix to act, managing to use every bit of his body as he pushed himself further. However, even more than before, the control he had and the way his whole body tightened in his serious efforts was an entirely different experience.

And to Willin, the experience was entirely different. While he had spent plenty of time close to Felix, it was the first time that that amount of weight had been used past for training. To be this close for the first time...

It was good that he was facing away from the crowd.

At the end of their routine, the music had gone, but the volume of the room was still insane. It was impossible to even hear the announcer as they left the stage, both of them grinning as they walked away.

?You... You did well, Felix.? Willin smiled as Felix just gave an excited nod, something clicking in Willin's mind before he heard a response.

?Glad you liked it. You weren't the only one, though.?

?Yeah, I noticed.? Willin laughed quietly, shaking his head. ?Don't think I'll be discussing that particular reaction when people ask about it.? Felix just gave a playful growl in response. ?You took a fairly large risk keeping me so close, you know. In more ways than one, I must admit. But it should pay off. I don't think there have been too many routines like that.? Willin gave Felix a firm pat on his back, his hand rubbing through to make sure he felt it.

?I'm just glad that you didn't panic or anything. My only worry was that I might push you a bit too much.? Felix reached his thick arm down, doing the same to Willin, nudging him forward a few inches forward with the force of the pat. Despite pushed through the air a short distance, Willin landed softly on his feet, turning back to face Felix without a hint of worry.

?Hey, I know you. You'd never let anything happen, and you'd definitely never try to do something if you weren't confident that I'd be safe. Besides, how could I panic when you're the one showing off? I can't take my eyes off of you, can I? I'd end up missing out!?

?I'll have time to show you a lot more later. The contest isn't over yet.? He growled quietly as he watched Victor approaching, a look of confidence on his face.

?Well, well. I heard about your routine.?

?Not as much as you think you have, I'm afraid.? Willin put his hand to Felix's mouth, his growling quieting but his teeth still bared.

?Don't give me that! Do you think that you can get away with copying my routine? The judges aren't going to ignore such a blatant disregard for a unique-?

Willin's mood was high, and such a flimsy argument wasn't going to break it.

?I suggest you ask for a recording of my performance before you begin to accuse me of anything. Saying that someone else told you is hardly enough for evidence, and if you're going to begin slandering me when you're not even permitted to see my performance yet, and when I'm in the dark about yours, I'm afraid that your accusations won't hold up to anything.? Felix gave another quiet growl as Willin's hand slipped off of him.

Victor just walked past the two. ?Very well, then. We'll see how confident you feel after.?

Even after he left, Felix kept his fierce expression. Willin relaxed sooner, putting his hand onto Felix's shoulder. ?You changed plenty of things, Felix. He'll be the one making a fool of himself.?

?It's not enough. He hasn't used whatever's on Regal, there's still more left to do, and after he finds out that he's not going to get anywhere just trying to accuse you, he'll definitely go further.?

?We're in the lead now, Felix. Let's just keep our eyes open, and make sure he doesn't get a chance to get ahead.?

Felix turned to see Willin's smile. Any worries he had would have to be put aside for now. If he wanted to win, he couldn't spend all of his time fuming at Victor. The contest came first.

And there was no way he was going to lose.

[redkage]

With the second competition completed, it was finally time for the judges to divulge the results of the physical and strength portions. After calculating the total, it was revealed that Felix had a perfect score. The judges (as well as everyone in the stadium) all agreed that Felix was the most marvelous specimen that had appeared in the history of Geopet?s, and if it weren?t for the last segment he would have already won. However, there was still the obstacle course to be considered, and if Felix did poorly enough there, the second runner up, Regal, would take the lead and seize victory.

Since the last segment was so big and complex, it would take place the next day due to the fact that the current set up would not be able to handle a Geopet of Felix?s size and would take a lot of hurried work from the builders to remedy that. So, with nothing else to do, Team Rutherford made their way back to their hotel using a side entrance in order to avoid the swarm of reporters waiting out in the front.

?I thought you were comfortable with the mass media.? Yuri asked Cornelius. ?It was, how you say, always a great opportunity for publicity??

?And miss our lunch?? Cornelius asked him. ?You said so yourself that our Geo requires a lot of food in order to keep his organism stable. Our first priority is to keep him in tip top condition so when the time comes, he will be able to perform at maximum capacity.?

?Why Cornelius,? Yuri?s eyebrows lifted, ?I can?t believe you remembered something I told you. It even sounds like you actually care for Felix.?

?I?m more concerned about my company?s welfare.? Cornelius said just a tad bit too quickly, his cheeks taking on the very slightest of pink tinge. ?We need to use every minute we have to rest up and plan how we will approach this last event.? He told him. ?After today?s events, the Cunningham?s will, without a doubt, be planning something monumental at tomorrow?s event in an attempt to sabotage us. We both know what they are capable of.?

The two men gave one another a silent look, leaving Willin in the dark. However, Felix could hear what they were thinking of as clear as if it was spoken verbally and his body tightened. Without being too obvious, the Geopet moved closer to Willin as if to keep himself in a position to readily protect the tiny boy at any given moment.

?Still, I?m confident Felix will be more than capable of outdoing those Cunninghams!? Willin said, proudly looking up at his massive Geo. Felix?s tail wagged happily from Willin?s words of trust.

The Rutherfords managed to reach one of the rear exits quietly enough. However, there was a horde of reporters waiting for them, all demanding a few words or flashing pictures and there were even some representatives from various Geopet related companies hoping to have Felix endorse in their products.

Willin, there are a lot of reporters here. Felix told him as he looked at the crowd forming around them. Will we have to deal with them all?

Well it?s to be expected. Willin thought back, still not used to the idea of telepathic communication. Galactic Reporters tend to be very stubborn. Once they find something that interests them, they?ll trail you until you finally say something. This?ll probably take a few hours.

That won?t do at all. Felix told him. I want us to have some time alone. Before Willin could ask what he meant, Felix placed his paws underneath his armpits and lifted him up.

?Felix?? Yuri looked up in surprise. ?What are you-?

?I?Felix isn?t comfortable around so many people.? Willin said quickly, following directions Felix was directly feeding into his mind. ?I don?t think Felix is ready to handle such a large demanding crowd, so we?ll split up until things calm down a bit. We?ll meet you back at the hotel later.?

Yuri frowned suspiciously at the both of them, but before he could say anything Felix had already taken Willin far away.

?Felix, where are you taking us?? Willin asked, unable to do anything while held in Felix?s powerful embrace.

Somewhere no one can bother us. Felix told him as he carried Willin off, his long and powerful legs moving at a speed as fast or even faster than any hover car. Willin watched as the scenery gradually changed from a busy metropolis to a quiet field outside of the city. Finally Felix slowed down from his incredible pace until he stopped at a small grove of trees.

?This looks like a nice spot.? Felix said as he set Willin down.

?Felix, why did you bring me here?? Willin asked, still confused.

The huge Geo looked down at the little boy, his eyes displaying a kind of longing. ?Because Willin, during our last performance I felt a deeper connection form between us, and it has made me want you even more. I love you Willin. I want you to become my mate.?

?Wh?what?? Willin looked at him wide eyed.

?Willin, when you first bought me, of all the other Geos in the store, you chose me, the scrawny, common breed Blue Ear.? Felix kneeled down. ?You raised me up with so much love and care like I was family?no, more than family. Much more than just family?

?That?s not such a big deal, all owners would love their pets the same.?

Felix shook his head. ?No, don?t try and deny it. I can feel it, your love for me.?

?You?you can?? Willin looked up at Felix in amazement. ?How? I mean-?

?Shh?let me finish.? Felix hushed Willin. ?I love you Willin, and you love me. Although this little territorial fight with the Cunningham?s have distracted you from realizing this, you must realize that you were always happiest when you were with me, whether it was training, playing, or simply sleeping in our bed together. Every time you smile, every time you spoke to me, it makes my heart race and my body grow, and I know that my body excites you as well.?

Blushing, Willin tried to ignore that statement even though his cock was hard, just like many times before when he had close personal contact with his Geo.

?And now, I want to make it official. I want to claim you as my mate, and give myself to you.? Felix leaned forward and kissed Willin. This wasn?t the usual lick, or even the playful touching of the lips, but a deep, serious kiss full of emotion and raw passion, strong enough to make Willin?s knees grow weak and a moan escaped his throat.

?But?is it really alright?? Willin faltered. ?I mean, you?re not??

?Human?? Felix completed. ?Does it really matter if we are the same species? What matters is that we love each other. That?s all that matters?? Using his huge paws, he nimbly undressed Felix without even tearing a single piece. Then, he took hold of his pouch and slipped them off, revealing his huge member to Willin. Like the rest of his body, Felix?s malehood had grown into epic proportions. Willin couldn?t help but stare as it began to rise and harden, becoming even bigger and larger before his eyes.

?Oh, it feels so good to finally release myself.? Felix moaned as his cock became erect. ?Out of respect, I had always held myself back until you were ready to take it.?

?I don?t think I can.? Willin said, trying to take in Felix?s size. It was as big as Willin?s arm!

The huge Geo simply smiled. ?Do not worry, I would never do anything to harm you.? Felix pulled Willin close and kissed him once more.

Willin simply melted in Felix?s embrace. Never had he ever felt safer, more loved. The huge muscles were beautiful and hard, so full and strong. Willin could just spend the rest of his life contently in those arms. He could feel Felix?s member throb against his leg, rubbing against his skin sensuously. Reaching out, he caressed the length. When he did, Felix began to pant. ?More?? He begged, and Willin complied, rubbing his hands up and down the thick shaft. Faster and harder he went, intent on giving Felix release. The big Geo panted harder, his muscles flexing and bulging as drops of pre began to form on his tip.

?Stop,? Felix suddenly said, putting a paw on Willin?s shoulder.

Willin suddenly felt despair, thinking he had done something wrong. ?Am I not good enough??

?You are MORE than good enough.? Felix growled. ?I do not want to release so soon?I want to have you inside me first.?

?Me?inside you?? Willin?s eyes widened. ?But, you?re the alpha male, the biggest Geo in the galaxy!?

?Which is why I can allow anyone I want to take me. And you are that one? Felix purred, nuzzling Willin?s neck. Before the young lad could give his reply, Felix let go of Willin, turned around and crouched down low, lifting his tail and exposing his beautifully developed ass and presenting himself completely to Willin.

Moving up to Felix, Willin pressed his cockhead against Felix?s hole. ?Are you ready??

?I was born ready, Willin.? Felix said anxiously.

Not wanting to keep him waiting, Willin thrust his cock in. Felix let out a loud roar as Willin penetrated his virgin ass, a mixture of pain and pleasure that felt beyond anything he had ever experienced before.

?Deeper?? Felix growled, wanting more of that delicious cock inside of him. Willin pushed himself further in, his cock blazing a trail through Felix?s inside. ?Deeper!? He growled again with more authority, but at the same time with a needful plea.

After a brief pause, Willin decide to forget all thoughts of taking it slow and easy and push himself entirely inside Felix before rocking his hips back and forth. Felix was in ecstacy, feeling his master?no, his lover move in and out of him, balls slapping against his hard butt cheeks.

?Faster Willin, faster?? Felix whimpered, his cock so hard it hurt. Willin?s rocking picked up the pace, becoming more and more wild and passionate. Felix wasn?t the only one enjoying this, Willin was getting off on this as well. Who wouldn?t be aroused from fucking someone about fifteen times bigger than he was, ?doggie style? as they used to say back then. Faster and harder Willin pushed himself, not only wanting to get Felix off but himself as well. In out, back forth, flex, breath, moan, growl; the both of them were both putting everything into this, their passion and their love. Harder and harder Willin fucked Felix, and harder and harder Felix flexed and growled. Faster and faster they went until finally, Willin was unable to hold back any more and came inside of Felix.

The feeling of hot warmth flooding his inside, it was enough to send Felix into orgasm as well, his huge cock erupting like a canon and shooting white hot seed all around. Again and again he came, roaring at the top of his lungs like the king of beasts, the alpha male.

The orgasm lasted for what seems like several blissful hours, but after four minutes the huge Geo was spent. Gently Willin pulled himself out of Felix, his cock felt raw after fucking harder than he ever did in his life. A moment late Felix picked Willin up and snuggled him, holding the tiny boy close.

?I love you Willin?? Felix purred as he settled down on the ground in a relaxing position with Willin on top of him.

?I love you too Felix.? Willin replied, hugging as much as Felix as he could.

Felix purred and Willin smiled. At that point of time, neither of them cared about what they were suppose to do, what their duties were or what role they needed to play. For the moment it didn?t matter to either of them if they won or lost the competition now, because they both had gained something much more than a simple medal:

Each other.

Part 19


Yuri was glad to have brought his portable laboratory with him; ever since he agreed on upgrading Felix the surprises just didn?t stop popping out, the readings from the last tests Eldritch ran were just impressive, they indicated Felix? development was on some kind of feedback loop, triggering successive enhancing cycles which brought his marvelous organism into something that challenged description.

?If these readings are right?? Yuri?s thoughts were cut by the chuckling that came from the corridor; the impact on the hotel?s floor indicated no one but the immense Geopet and his human master.

Yuri opened his door to find Willin and Felix kissing once again, the massive Geo carrying the little boy in his massive arms as they shared their love. The Uncle just smiled as Felix looked at him, although Willin was still clueless.

?Oh love?what are you?ooooh..U-uncle Yuri?? Willin just whispered as he noticed his relative staring at them.

Eldritch just nodded his head as he indicated the new couple to enter his own room before it was too late.

?I would say you were lucky Cornelius is still in that press conference, but I know that Felix already knew such thing, and the only reason he allowed you to kiss him in the hall was because he wanted me to catch both of you in the act, right big guy??

Felix flashed a big smile ?You are the human Willin trusts the most, and you have made it possible for us to be a couple, so you had to be the first to know, but you know how my partner is shy.?

Willin gulped ?W-wait?you knew Uncle Yuri was there??

?Of course, my love, I can hear and identify every single heart beat within this hotel, it?s just a matter of location, I wanted your Uncle to notice me entering the corridor, but it didn?t take even a word to let me kiss you?? The enormous Blue Ear blushed a little as he grabbed Willin and hugged the much smaller body of his boy.

?That is very lovely?I gotta say you guys make a very cute couple, but what about the subject that nobody is talking about? What are your plans for now?? Eldritch asked the right questions and Willin knew he still didn?t have the answers for them.

?There?s no need to rush, we will get done with this cup. I will deal with Cornelius and the rest of the little humans in the due time. I just want you to get ready.? Felix said with a very intense look.

?Ready for what?? The both humans asked in synchrony looking at the humongous enhanced Geopet.

?You will know in the right time, now let?s go Willin?we still have a lot of mating to do.? Felix said and Willin went ruby red at the same time.

?Felix??

?Your Uncle already proved he approves the fact that we are lovers, he is a very liberal and progressive gay intellectual, unlike your father. Let?s go, because I need you more than ever my love.? Felix picked Willin in his arms and maneuvered his immense blue furred muscle body to squeeze outside Yuri?s room.

Eldritch still processed all the information he was given, not only his nephew was bedding a Geopet, which wasn?t something he?d never heard or tried before, but they were now lovers?the immense Felix had projected very specific instructions and parameters that Yuri was supposed to verify as soon as possible, and given the impressive arguments the blue Geopet supplied, the scientist knew pretty much that Felix was in charge of their security, that humongous creature was his boss now.

?What else are you planning Felix?? Yuri said as he returned to his work, whatever was coming for them, he?d better get ready.

*****

?You?re just disgusting, we?ve spent millions of credits in those steroids and you still look the same! You?ve embarrassed me during that press conference!? Viktor said as the huge Geopet glared at his master furiously, the only reason why that petulant little man?s head was still on top of his neck was the fear for the electric discharge.

Vladimir Cunningham didn?t seem nearly as furious as his son Viktor, the young lad fumed as he constantly slapped his own impressive champion White Crest Geopet, while the GATE?s CEO carefully entered their hotel isle.

?It?s useless to get mad at Regal now, Viktor; he?s still the same extraordinary breed, unlike that monster Cornelius and his pet-scientist developed, the Council might be overwhelmed by that freak now, but as soon this is over I?ll get my specialized lawyers to search all the rules for the Geopet competition, I'm sure they will find a legal base to nullify this whole competition, which will only bring even more shame over Rutherford?? Vladimir grinned at his son with their signature arrogant smile.

?You?ve seen how the reporters didn?t even bother when we left, I don?t want Willin and his stupid father to win! I don?t care if they?re gonna be disqualified later, they just humiliate me like this!? Viktor punched the table, his unreasonable anger towards Willin and his family was the only thing that brought that his despicable father had taught over his entire life.

Vladimir reassumed his usual authoritarian look ?I'm still in charge in here, and you?d better not question my decisions, unless you want to spend the rest of your life cleaning the engines from Intergalactic ships!?

?Forgive me father?? Viktor immediately replied in a faked submissive tone.

?Now, you take Regal to the rejuvenation chamber, it could use some time there, we still have a chance to win this cup tomorrow, the obstacle course is Regal?s strongest feature and that abomination of them is so huge it just can?t be faster and more gracious than our White Crest!? Vladimir watched as his son left the room without a word, although the little brat?s thoughts were not pleasant at all.

When the Cunningham patriarch finally got alone, he proceeded to contact someone over the mind-link networks, which took several minutes in order to bypass all security screenings and firewalls, Vladimir was known for his paranoia about being spied, but in that case it wasn?t just an obsessive behavior, it was indeed necessary.

?We?ve detected your kind contribution; it?s always nice working with you?? A nearly robotic presence started the telepathic conversation; it was so creepy that even a dangerous fellow like Vladimir felt totally uncomfortable.

?I need you to take care of the old man, and make it look like our friend Cornelius did it, that will send his stupid kid and that monster over the edge and they?ll drop the competition.?

?The price is higher this time, that Geopet means big trouble now?? The secret interlocutor replied already projecting the new price into Vladimir?s mind.

?What? Are you insane? Why should I pay you that much? You should do it for free, since the boy is still alive!? Vladimir mentally shouted, something he immediately regretted and apologized before the mysterious contact got mad at him.

?We exploded the car and he was sent into the chasm, it passed as an accident, and believe it or not, people survive accidents, not to mention that the same Geo saved his life, and for your behavior there?s a new price??

Vladimir overcame the urge to scream, taking a deep breath the powerful man knew he had to pay the absurd amount of money if he gave up of his request; that was the rule when dealing with the infamous Wyvern, the codename of the leader of a secret mercenary assassin?s guild to which Cunningham resourced from time to time.

?For that price, you?d better get rid of them all?the old man the kid and the abomination!? Vladimir knew that once the price was paid the number of victims was unimportant.

?It will get messy then; the animal won?t go down without putting a fight. Most of people will get caught by the service.? Wyvern announced coldly.

?Do whatever it takes to make sure the Rutherford clan is destroyed!? Vladimir?s rage flared, he suddenly didn?t care if other people would die.

?You seem nervous, it is not intelligent; remember that if we get caught you will come down with us.?

?Then you forge something to cover it up, you?re specialist here, I'm paying you to keep things unsuspected, no matter what! I?want it done during obstacle course, this competition must NOT be concluded, take whatever measure you see fit, unleash Hellfire over them, I want them all destroyed!? Vladimir instructed as he mentally observed the figures rising and rising as the operation grew in complexity.

?There?s and extra fee for the urgency of your request? The greedy criminal said almost like there was some emotion in the cold tone.

?I don?t care about the logistics involved in the operation, just make sure this time you don?t let that Geopet screw things up, attack when is in the obstacle course!? Vladimir grinned as he considered the perfect strategy to terminate the Rutherford menace.

The criminal remained emotionless ?So it shall be done, and it will all be blamed on Igtarian rebels again, media will love to cover the story and you will be considered a hero for surviving an unexpected tragedy.? Wyvern said as the mental link dropped.

Vladimir was excited, he knew it would cost him more money than he could afford, but when RITA was out of the way, he would become the most powerful man in the galactic federation!

*****

Willin watched as his humongous lover ate the special food he needed to feed those gargantuan muscles, his lust made him feverish, his little body was just so much smaller than Felix?, still the dazzling beautiful giant loved him, and they had fucked! They were lovers now?

?I know?I feel so happy to be your lover too, Willin.? Felix grinned as he devoured another piece of meat.

?Hey, I thought you would give me mental privacy??

?Then you shouldn?t have mentally screamed; thoughts are just like verbal communication to me, my love.? Felix mentally said as he picked his lover and made me seat on his lap. ?Tomorrow, I?ll ace that obstacle course for you, my love.?

?I know you probably will, but I'm already happy about you giving your best on it, just remember I'll love you no matter what.? The humongous Geo then grabbed his last piece of meat as he carried his human around the enormous room, although it didn?t seem that enormous with Felix?s bulk inside.

?Are we really?you know?? Willin was still too shy to even say, even though he loved the idea.

?We are gonna fuck a lot, Willin, just don?t worry, I am not gonna hurt you, it?s just a matter of adaptation?everything in life changes. I was your pet, then I became your friend, and now I'm your boyfriend, although technically I prefer the term Geolover.?

?You?ll always be my Felix?? The boy said in a low tone that made the colossal creature to blush.

?Thanks, Willin, but we can take our time, I still gotta deal with some issues before we can mate again?not that I am not crazy of lust.? Felix said as he typed gently grabbed Willin?s wrist pad and managed to strike the right keys. The holographic projector in wall produced an enormous computer screen, the Geopet smiled as he started downloading some kind of program directly from Yuri?s database.

?W-what are you doing Felix? Does Uncle Yuri know you?re hacking into his system?? Willin asked suddenly worried.

?Fear not, my boy, for I am just claiming his research on my own physiology, I respect your Uncle a lot, but I think he?s missing very important details on my development, especially after my upgrading.? Felix said as he inspected the results carefully.

Willin felt anxious, he just didn?t want to jump into hasty conclusions, but at the same time he hated when people tried to keep him from any kind of information, so Felix just turned around and held the tiny body of his lover into his massive arms.

?I am not keeping any secrets from you, my love. Your father?s investigators realized that the accident in which you were involved was actually provoked under Vladimir?s orders, he actually believes your mother was also a victim of his adversary?s plans, so I just couldn?t stand there and watch they try to harm you again, so I asked Yuri to upgrade me.?


?Wait?what do you mean by upgrading?? Willin barely asked and his mind was flooded with the images of the time Felix went to Yuri and demanded the scientist to enhance him, then Willin gasped as he saw the extreme procedures at which his beloved Felix was voluntarily subjected.

?Geopets were originally a military project that enhanced human organisms from the volunteers through genetic splicing, which resulted in men with much stronger and powerful features, the scientists successfully created a new human specimen billions of years more developed than homo sapiens.? Felix projected the impressive results of the earlier generations of very intelligent and powerful super soldiers with gargantuan bodies and uncanny strength, not to mention the superior mental capabilities.?

?So?you mean Geopets were originally MEN? But?what happened to them??

?The results scared the military, they realized the new breeds were far too powerful, the fearful men decided to collect as much genetic samples as possible and terminate the process, which actually required all the nuclear power they had stocked for centuries, that?s the reason for the climatic catastrophe that lead into Disband, and mankind followed into other direction, their bodies were physically reduced given the lack of natural gravity of their home planet, although some individuals known as the commoners were much stronger given their hard work at the harvesting colonies.?

?I?ve always thought scientists had developed Geos to be the perfect pet...? Willin admitted his naivety.

?It was just a lucky strike, several centuries after the Disband, a new generation of scientists worked to revert the physical reduction occurring in mankind and so they retrieved the genetic database produced from the original Geopet experiment, what they didn?t expect was that such matrix no longer pristine since the previous generation of humans had already intervened in the original genetic matrix, inserting several malfunctions that prevented eventual individuals to reach for their true capabilities, however, if the result was far beneath the original, it still proved to be physically superior than any man, so new commercial purposes lead into the development of Geopets as you knew them, until Yuri created a way to overcome such genetic failures allowing the Geopets to reach their full potential.?

?So if Uncle Yuri was involved on this, why did he stop? Why aren?t there more Geopet?s like you?? Willin asked scared.

?The poor man had no choice, he never meant to find what he actually discovered, he just tried to overcome the same genetic failures all Geopets had, but when the human authorities realized what he was doing, they were this close for arresting him, if it wasn?t for your father?s intervention, your Uncle would be in prison today.?

?But?wait?you said you asked to be upgraded, which means you could already talk even before Uncle Yuri used his procedure in you!? Willin noticed how special his Geo really was.

Felix grinned proud ?I realize now that I am a genetic advancement from the very original specimen of my kind, for I have overcome the limitations which were inserted in my genetic makeup, although it happened naturally it would gone into waste if you hadn?t rescued me and given me all the keys to continue on my path, I was well on my way of becoming the most powerful Geo ever, but then?those bastards tried to kill you, and I knew I had to act?I couldn?t just let they hurt you again my love!?

The humongous creature just kissed Willin once again ?And so I did it, I went into upgrading even without the genetic failures, but since Yuri?s treatment actually forces genetic development to happen in the same individual, I was able to evolve?I mean I am still evolving and developing?constantly.?

The young lad was literally flooded by the mental projection of how much Felix loved him, then Felix just hugged him in a very protective way.

?Felix?I love you too, but I am worried, isn?t harmful the fact you are forcing your own body to develop over and over??

?I don?t look sick to you do I?? The humongous creature flexed a mind blowing 80 inches around massive arm ?I am always developing Willin, every single second, I grow slightly bigger, one of the cells in my muscle fibers grows bigger and splits into two new ready to grow muscle cells, I am already 30 pounds heavier than I was a few hours ago, I gotta keep growing and getting stronger to protect you, I want to be more than they ever imagined when they come after us.?

Willin was afraid to ask who might come after them, so he just hugged Felix and felt his anxiety unwinding, his heart feeling how powerful Felix own beat was, they had such kind of connection that Willin simply laid in fetal position and Felix hugged him, covering his entire boy with his muscles.

While the boy savored the tender hardness of the blue fur muscles, Felix continued analyzing the simulations, a full body scan of Felix popped in the screen, and the figures indicated the insane growth factors estimated to be happening at the very moment. Felix then revised the results while he cuddled Willin, his powerful mind quickly correcting the program errors that Yuri had overlooked.

The enhanced Geopet grinned as he noticed his growth had actually barely begun, there was much more development to come, and he had to prepare his organism for the new heights of power he was developing. Then, under Felix unearthed programming skills a second diagram appeared right next to the enormous projection of his own, it was a human form, with the same stats of Willin Rutherford?s body. The comparison was just mind blowing, Felix stood at 12?6? tall, weighed 3537 pounds of pure massive muscle, and the puny figure was just at 5?3? tall weighing a bit over 140 pounds.

Felix started running a bunch of parameters and simulations, then he noticed the results being applied at the human diagram, the humongous Geo scientists seemed pleased with the prognostic and just clicked to close the holo-screen.

?You don?t worry, I'm here now and by that time tomorrow everything will be done?? Felix mentally said to his lover as he carried him to the bed, when the monstrous Geopet opened those massive arms, Willing just smiled sheepishly.

?I trust you, Felix?I trust my life to you with no hesitation.? The lad said as he kissed his enormous lover, but Felix?s cock suddenly forced them to break the kiss, it was just so humongous and thick, leaking a clear brilliant string of warm liquid flowing from the giant cockhead.

Felix gently caressed his boy ?I look forward to the day we fuck, but until then?I think you can handle this huge buddy of mine huh? He just misses the kind of attention you give to my muscles?he loves being worshipped as well.? Felix growled as he took one humongous arm behind his head and enjoyed Willin?s shyness when the boy kissed and gently licked the warm surface of his lover?s manhood.

Willin was compelled to suck on that bulbous monster, it was just everything he wanted in life, the veined rugged surface, the blue pubes at the massive base of that giant cock, Felix smiled as he caressed his boy?s butt with his thick fingers.

?Sooner than you think, love?much sooner than you think?? Felix whispered as he savored the way his lover sucked him. Willin just surrendered to his lust and just attacked Felix cock knowing he would never be capable the most amazing creature in the universe.

The enormous Geo focused really hard, he knew his body was already a wonder of nature even before Yuri?s upgrading, so now all he had to do was focusing, he needed to make sure his boy would be safe even if he was alone, Willin was a lover not a fighter, but his spirit was indeed stronger than any soldier out there. He just needed to be prepared to fight for what he believed.

?Oh Felix?you taste so good?so manly?? Willin?s moaning as he felt his body suddenly energized, refreshed, he just knew that no matter what Felix would be there for him, but he also was not a push over, he had to make Felix proud of him, he loved the huge Geopet so much, it was just his duty as a lover.

Felix closed his eyes and purred softly, since he felt like his powerful roar would drew too much attention, he felt his cock pouring the thick manly juice into his lover?s throat.

?At least, you now know that we are not that different at all, I am a human, billions of years ahead of you little guys, but still our hearts beat the same way, they feel the same love?I am just here for you, my boy?and to protect you from any harm?I must make you come join me in the future??

Willin didn?t ask, he just continued drinking the thick sperm as it poured strongly down his throat, the body of his lover convulsing the huge muscles felt even harder as Felix delivered his love cream into Willin?s body. Felix knew that Willin would just be the first human to regain some of the previous glory that humans once had before Disband, and it was just the necessary to begin the revolution Felix was planning.

Willin drank all the jism, it was such a strong feeling something overwhelming, but then again everything about Felix was overwhelming, the boy simply felt his stomach filled with the cream, he felt somehow hungrier than never, and before he could moan, the massive Geopet gave him a piece of meat that he promptly devoured.

?What?is going on?why am I so hungry, Felix?? Willin cleaned the grease from his lips, although he just wanted to carve his teeth deeper in the meat.

The Geopet grinned ?It worked, my essence can give your body what it lacked for generations?? Felix said as he felt that Willin?s muscles were bulging, the lad suddenly noticed that his own muscles felt heavier and tighter in his skin, but instead of feeling scared, the teenager just grinned.

?Can I have some more please??

To be continued.

[philat99]

This just gets better and better like a fine wine. The intrigue, the love affair, the unbelievable evolutionary progression in both Felix and now in Willin - Wow! - make for a most exciting read. Looking forward to the next part soon. What will be unleashed in the third part of the competition to try to destroy the Rutherfords?

hi there Muscle ,man great writing thanks for you work,can't wait to see how huge felix gets towering over everyone growing bigger taller and than there is willan

[MysteriousMist]

For Willin and Felix, the rest of the day was busy, to say the least. Neither of them had much sleep, and most of their time, if their hands weren't on food going down one of their throats, then they were stuck tightly on top of one another. The day faded into evening, and if it wasn't for a rather overt reminder from Yuri to get some sleep, it would've continued through the night as well.

Even then, what they did could only barely be considered ?sleeping?. The bed that was available to them was hardly capable of holding Felix, so the two of them instead spent the night together on the floor. Though it wasn't ideal, the two of them were comfortable, and very, very close. Even at the edge of sleep, they were still holding one another tight, still rubbing together, still kissing every possible moment.

When the morning arrived, Felix barely needed to tap Willin in order to get him up. His eyes opened the moment he felt it, and he slowly squeezed Feliz without a second thought.

?Morning, Willin.? Felix smiled gently as he slowly shifted and stood up, his arms wrapped around his lover the entire time. ?How are you feeling??

Willin pressed his hands against Felix, squeezing him, letting his fingers slip down along his side. ?Amazing. Just... I can't believe that we really got to...?

Felix just grinned as he pressed his mouth close, pushing his lips tight against Willin's. It didn't take much before Willin found himself returning it, pulling himself closer, feeling Felix's tongue pushing deeper around his lips. ?It happened. And we'll have plenty of chances to make sure that it happens again.?

Willin blushed slightly as he tried to look away, though he only succeeded in tilting his gaze to another part of Felix's body. He thought that he had seen it all before, but his eyes still couldn't break away from watching every motion Felix made. Though they had just been resting, it certainly didn't seem that way to him. Felix looked as though he had still been working out all night, though for once, Willin knew he hadn't.

Felix's grip on Willin's arm was firm as he slowly stood up. Though he was almost pulled up from his place, his body still felt so light as it was, still leaning gently into Felix as he was dragged onto his feet. "In fact, I think we're up early today..."

Willin's hand went back to Felix's body, gripping it tight, smiling as he pressed deeply, running his fingers a bit deeper as he looked down to Felix's massive shaft as it slowly rose. "Your idea of a first meal?"

"Why not start the day with something I know you love?" He closed his eyes as he pulled Willin's body closer, his mind focusing on the act, on what he had to do, and what he wanted to do.

Willin's mouth pushed itself down along the length, already eager again as he felt his face brush against the tip, feeling Felix's pre eagerly leak down as his tongue gently slid up along the length. His hands slipped down from Felix's side, his fingertips gripping, clinging so tightly to his body, a magnetic connection sticking them together.

Within the minute, both of Willin's hands were gripping onto the length, his palms pressed against it, his mouth on the tip, eagerly waiting, already taking in the flow of pre that was beginning to flood his mouth. It wasn't hard to see how close Felix was, and his own excitement was rising from it all, only sending him deeper against Felix, further onto his meat.

The torrent flooding into Willin's mouth was more than enough to drown someone, but he drank it all down without a moment's pause. For the moment, it was everything to him, to ensure that every drop of Felix's essence went to his body, and to let it bring the two of them closer.

By the time the Geo's release was over, both of them were spent. Willin quietly wiped his mouth a bit, but Felix was already passing him a good chunk of his food without missing a moment. Willin's eyes turned to look right over Felix as he ate. "Wow... Thanks, Felix... Might be a bit hungry now, but still... there's no way I'd ever get tired of that."

"I wouldn't let it happen any other way." Felix naturally shifted downwards, pushing himself close, planting a lingering kiss as close as he could to Willin's occupied mouth. "I won't let anything bad happen to you, Willin."

"Take care of yourself too, Felix. You still need a lot more food than I do, and you're going to be the one who's busy today." Willin gave Felix a push towards the large pile laying in the room, only turning his gaze to it. "After all, I can't let anything happen to you, either.If I did, I'd be a lousy master, boyfriend... A lousy everything, really."

Felix was already forcing his food deep into his throat, but his body and tail still pressed against Willin gently. The meal was as quick as it always seemed to be, and though they had time, it was difficult to get both of them clean and presentable in time.

"My clothes aren't fitting by now... Dad's going to be on about it all day. " Willin struggled a little to try to button his shirt. His outfit had always been tight to begin with, fitted to him for formality more than for comfort. It had always been stuffy for him, but by now, it went past that, straight to restrictive. Felix watched silently for a few moments, just smiling as he watched Willin trying to stretch the ends of his shirt back on, moving to the side of the room as Willin just sighed a bit, sitting back down onto a chair as he looked down. "Not like I mind, but I suppose I'll have to get some... You already got new clothes for me, didn't you?" Willin looked back at Felix as he quietly laid against the floor, curled slightly, though it did nothing to hide the amused look on his face. Willin took a few steps closer, but Felix continued to hold himself in place, though his ears gave a slight twitch as he waited. It was only when Willin was right in front of his face that Felix moved,his eyes just open enough to see him with an impatient look. "Come on, you knew this would happen. Don't act like you don't know."

Felix gave a small grin as he lifted his paw right under, slipping under Willin's shirt, slipping it off with a single stroke. "At least I got a good view first." He gave Willin's body another light lick, letting his tongue rub over the lumps that had formed over the course of the night. "Besides, simulations might be good, but there's nothing quite like seeing you for myself."

"Okay, okay, I get it already!" Willin laughed a bit as he put his hands over Felix's head. "Come on now, before we get too distracted again!"
__________

If the first day's audience was excited, then the second's could only be described as exhilarated. It was impossible to hide Felix when they arrived, and this time, almost everybody was already looking for him the moment he came into public view. Even moving on all fours, he was still standing taller than anybody nearby, and even his slow stride allowed everybody to get a glimpse of his body in action. It wasn't even necessary for them to get closer before they could hear the crowd's reactions, and it took a fair amount of restraint for Willin to keep himself from putting his hands to his ears.

However, despite that, it seemed easy to get through the crowd. Willin let Felix ahead a short distance, and despite the dense mob surrounding them, he managed to make his way through easily, carefully brushing by, even rubbing against some people.

"Are you sure it's wise to let your pet do this?" Cornelius quietly spoke, restraining himself from making too obvious of a comment while surrounded by so many.

"Felix won't be a danger to anybody." Willin did his best to reassure his father as he followed closely behind the Geo, his palm placed on Felix's side to give him a squeeze occasionally. Though many people seemed to want to touch and feel him, he never seemed to have a problem recognizing Willin's grip, and though he never seemed to mind showing off a little for those nearby, Willin still watched happily, always able to get a good view of it as well. "This is as good of a way as any to prove it, and I doubt that anybody will dispute that."

"I'm obviously not in a position to be second-guessing anything by now." Cornelius kept a short distance from the put, used to having him nearby but still clearly uncomfortable with it. "However, you had better keep a good eye on your pet." Cornelius looked on as Felix gave a quiet purr, someone scratching at his head lightly. "It would be unfortunate if something were to happen to him because someone else got close while you were distracted."

"Now, now. I seriously doubt that Willin's the type of lad who would leave his pet alone. He's been taking very good care of Felix, and now would be a lousy time to stop, wouldn't it?" Yuri's eyes were turned to Willin as he spoke, and despite the light tone he had, Willin purposefully avoided his glance, not wanting to publically show the response he knew he'd have.

Getting through the crowd took a fair amount of time, and it was a relief to just be in there by the time they arrived. Felix turned back to look at the group as they waited there for the moment, a soft sound coming from his throat as he sat there.

"Good luck, Willin. I expect you to win this easily with the way things have been going, but keep your eyes open. This is going to be their last opportunity, so you can be certain that the Cunninghams will try something today."

Willin watched his father walk away, exhaling in relief as he let himself go from his posture, glad to let go of it for once. While the new clothing helped him keep presentable, he still had no idea how his father would react to his new appearance, and tried his best to keep it from being too visible at the moment.

"I take it you and Felix had a busy night?" Yuri's tone was merely curious, though it still forced Willin to jump a bit. Felix quietly turned to look at him, keeping the same happy, vague expression that he almost always seemed to have when they were in public.

"Erm... Yeah... I mean, there was a lot for us to..."

"I'm not naive, my boy. I know how the world works, and I know how relationships tend to work. Neither of you were particularly subtle last night. Besides, there were a few rather obvious hints last night from when someone was searching through my files." He turned to look at Felix, who kept sitting, wagging his tail lightly. "Just don't plan too far yet, okay? There are still a number of things that could crop up and become an issue, and some of them are closer to us than I'd like. Until then... Well, at least it seems you can take care of each other okay." Yuri bent down a bit to give his nephew a tight hug. "From the looks of things, you might be catching up to me sometime soon. At least I can keep my eyes on you two, and I know Felix is a better choice than some around." He gave the two of them a nod before making his way towards their observation chamber, leaving Willin rather silent.

"Come on. We'd better get going." Willin nearly fell as he turned quickly, only meeting Felix's eyes as he felt a light pull on his body. Despite what he had just heard, Felix was still as calm as ever, barely leading Willin as he recovered his ability to walk.

"You let uncle Yuri know about your findings?"

"Some of them, anyways. He had most of the data to begin with, so I'm fairly certain he'd come to some of the same conclusions. However, if I plan on sharing things with the world, he's one of the best around to acknowledge first." Felix gently pushed against Willin as they moved closer to the stage.

As they arrived in the area, the reaction was more mixed this time around. Some of the pets almost immediately dropped what they were doing to look at and even approach Felix, while others did their best to ignore his presence. However, even as he let off a quiet, pleasant growl, the slight twitch of many ears in the room made it more than clear that he had left a strong impression upon them. The track for the race was filled with numerous obstacles, and it seemed as though they were simply scaled up in size simply to present a challenge for Felix, and others had more unusual changes present.

Felix's eyes glanced over the items as he approached them, a number of them quite ordinary, but others mechanical and difficult, and, as far as he could tell, a number of them were even hidden from view. He quietly walked through the track, his eyes moving over everything he could see.

"Can you handle this, Felix?" Willin already knew the answer as he asked, and Felix simply looked over everything, a focused look on his face now.

"It seems simple enough. Let's get some practice in before we take care of this race."
__________

"It took you long enough. I suppose you had some last minute advice for Willin?" Cornelius quietly sat in the chair as he turned to see Yuri enter, a bit impatient at the man.

"Something along those lines, yes." He took his seat next to him, sighing quietly as he sat. "Those two do worry me sometimes."

"After all of your speeches, you're hardly the one who should be on edge. I have much more on the line here than you do." Cornelius spoke in a tired tone as he glanced around, rather grateful that nobody else was around to hear him. "I suppose to you, this was more of an experiment."

"As if I'd let Willin get involved in such a thing." By now, the two of them were more or less used to the accusations that seemed to crop up between one another. "You were the one who insisted on performing the procedure on Felix to begin with."

Cornelius just looked down, spotting the Geo easily as he watched the two of them prepare. "It seems to have worked out well. By now, I'd imagine that Vladimir's regretting the little trap he tried to set for us."

Yuri nodded slowly as he stared ahead, unable to really glance downwards. "Perhaps. But it's still too early to be certain."

Cornelius just sighed and shook his head. "I've taken plenty of precautions by now, and at least Willin has his pet to help watch him. What do you think is left for them to try to do?"

"I'm not sure... But still... There's a number..." Yuri put his hand to his head slowly, trying his best to concentrate his thoughts. His mind felt a bit rough, and his fingers felt a bit numb.

"Eldritch? Is something wrong?" The lightest bit of concern sounded from Cornelius's voice as he turned to meet him, only to see the man slump over suddenly in his seat.

Cornelius's expression suddenly changed as his mind registered what was happening. He slipped out of his seat as he slipped his hand into a pocket of his suit. "Damn it... Why are they targeting you, too... Prudence better be enough..."
__________

Practicing on some of the obstacles was easy enough. Though it seemed difficult at first glance, Felix managed to push himself upwards and downwards easily, slipping through the track without a single moment of reluctance. His actions were precise, but still fluid as he finished simply bounding over a hurdle and began climbing up a rather large, bumpy incline. So, as Willin watched, it quickly became clear that something was off the moment his paw slip off and him half-jump, half-tumble down. Though he landed safely, it was clear his attention was no longer turned to practice.

It didn't take Willin very long to see the look of alarm on Felix's face as he looked through the stands. Very few people had gathered in the stadium so far, and none of them seemed to be worth the concern Felix was showing. But, from the distance, it was impossible for Willin to see what he was staring at.

"Felix? What's wrong?" Willin tried to get his attention, but he wasn't hearing anything in response, mentally or otherwise. Felix's eyes and ears were all pointed in one direction, barely a sound coming from him as he sat there. "Felix? Hello?" Willin pushed a bit at his shoulder, only the faintest feel of a thought arriving.

"Hold on, Willin... There's something happening." Felix swallowed quietly, and though he didn't know what, it didn't seem good to him.

There wasn't anything else to do but wait for Felix to keep watching, and Willin couldn't help but grow more and more nervous as he stood there. He couldn't be certain where Felix was looking, and instead, his eyes wandered around. Everybody else seemed to have varying levels of confidence as well, and by now, very few eyes were on him or Felix, nobody wanting to become any further intimidated watching their training. At the moment, he was glad that nobody could see how Felix was acting.

Nobody except...

"Aw, what's wrong? Your mutt have a nervous breakdown?"

Resisting the urge to shout, Willin turned quietly to look at Viktor, grinning again as he saw him close, Regal nearby and as poised as ever, though the pet's attention seemed less focused on his master and moreso on Felix. "He's fine. You'll see that soon enough."

"Everybody will see what he's like soon enough. If you haven't trained him well enough to keep calm on the track, you won't win this one. That's all there is to it."

"Felix is more than capable of moving through this." Willin quietly put his hand down onto Felix's shoulder, rubbing it quietly, though he did nothing to react.

"Hmmph. I suppose you think so? Well, if you're done wasting our time, then Regal and I would like to actually use the equipment.

Willin quietly watched at Viktor gave the command, Regal quietly moving to the base of the wall. The wall had been scaled up, but it seemed as though he could still make the climb without any problems. Though Regal went through the motions effortlessly, reaching the top in a matter of seconds, Willin thought he saw the pet's looking elsewhere from the corner of his eyes.

His attention was soon taken by an official-looking man looking out-of-breathe as he ran down towards Willin. "Mr. Rutherford? I'm afraid that there's been an emergency."

"An... emergency?" Willin tried to stop himself from sounding too worried with Viktor so close, but he couldn't come close to concealing the apprehension in his speech.

"Your uncle was... found unconscious in his seat. His condition's odd, and he's being rushed to the hospital."

"Uncle Yuri's been... What!" Willin nearly began running towards the exit, only stopping as he felt Felix's paw on his leg.

The man saw his pause and tried to speak quietly. "Nobody's really sure what happened. Your father called for help, and they just found him slumped over, eyes open and with a bad pulse." The man did his best to seem calm, though he said the facts without a moment's hesitation, his description oddly clear to Willin somehow.

"I... I see... I have to..."

"Hey! Don't you dare leave!"

Viktor's tone quickly grew furious as he gripped onto Willin's arm. "I don't know what happened to your uncle, but you seeing him isn't magically going to help him. And there is no way you're leaving the competition now. I am not going to spend the rest of the year listening to people saying you should've won if you didn't drop out!"

"He's right, you know." Felix's voice suddenly sounded in Willin's thoughts, though it was quite jumbled with his mind panicking the way it was. "I've kept my ears open. You going won't help anything."

"You don't get it." Willin's voice was barely restrained, and his body was shaking visibly. "This happened before, with my mom. And I am not going to just stand by as my dad... Just goes and... My uncle..."

"You're wrong about it. I'm certain." Felix's paw pressed firmly onto Willin's back as he stood up slowly. "I don't know what you were doing when your mom died, and I know you still might not be fond of your dad because of it. But he's not at fault."

Willin clenched his fingers tight, breathing deeply as he tried to listen, only slowly managing to let Felix's voice come into focus. "S-so..."

"Both your dad and your uncle knew about what happened to your mom. About how she ended up dead because of a failed attempt at your father's life..." Felix tried his best to grip onto Willin, to keep him steady, but his breathing still seemed a little strained. "Your uncle's still alive because your dad was ready if someone tried to use that poison again. Understand? They might not agree, but your dad wouldn't do that kind of thing."

Willin's breathing quieted down as he stood there, only eventually managing a half-hearted nod. "Okay... okay..."

"I'll keep my attention on your uncle, and I'll bring you to him fast if anything comes up. So just calm down." It was only because Felix was so close that Willin could keep himself from moving away immediately. He quietly pulled his arm away, nodding quietly.

"Just... Let me think for now... I'll be fine when the time comes."

Viktor just gave a quiet "tsk" before turning away. "You'd better not run away." Regal was quickly on the ground after, following close by, though he seemed oddly tense as he moved away with his owner.

Willin just stood silently, looking back up at the seat where they had been the day before. It felt a little empty to know that his family wouldn't be watching this time around. But knowing his father, there didn't seem to be any other option.While his uncle may not have felt the same, as long as he was still doing okay...

Willin swallowed before turning to Felix, looking up to his face. His face was no longer relaxed, and though the was watching as Regal and Viktor walked away, he didn't do a thing as they left. They wouldn't be the problem today.

But Felix was here to watch out for him. He felt his arm wrap tightly over him, and his own arms held him tight as well. He would make sure to keep his eyes open for his lover, and he knew that he would be safe. No matter how shaky he was, he had to see this through.

And he would make sure that his family got to see the results of the race.

hi guys this story is getting better all time.Hope someone can continue it ,see what happens to felix and willin.
Thanks for your talented writing

[redkage]

?Alright, it?s time for the event you?ve all been waiting for!? The MC announced to the crowd, who instantly responded by cheering loudly. ?After some technical difficulties last night, we are now ready to finish the final leg of this competition, the obstacle course!?

Willin watched the whole thing from a projection backstage. Everyone seemed so excited and carefree, none of them knowing the kinds of pressures and tension the contestants had. And none of them compared to Willin?s own state.

?Excuse me sir,? a voice said.

Willin nearly jumped if it wasn?t for his strict training to maintain his image. ?Yes, what is it?? He turned around. Behind him was a well sized man with blond hair dressed in one of the events uniform.

?I?m required to take one last examination of your pet.? He told him.

Probably another attempt to test him for illegal substances Willin thought. ?Very well, but Felix here is in very excellent condition.?

?I?ll be the judge of that.? The man said in a tone that wasn?t really much like of the common people, but Willin paid it no mind as he looked up at Felix. The man took out a device and began to scan Felix?s body.

?Yes, yes, quite the sublime specimen.? The man said as he observed the readings. ?64 point 3 inch arms, 283 point 9 inch chest, 37 point 4 inch waist?muscular density 8.9 times above what he should be. He has developed far past expectations.?

?Felix is a very special Geo.? Willin said proudly, briefly wondering if he should mention the process that unlocked Felix?s transformation, but decided to forego this.

?Yes, very special indeed?? The man looked up at Felix. ?He is a breed that will revolutionize how we look at Geos.?

Felix?s ear flickered at the man?s statement and looked at him oddly, but already the man was putting his equipment away.

?Yes, very well, your pet is in a fine state.? He said. ?It?s against rules and regulations to side with any of the contestants, but I have a feeling this will be nothing for a pet of Felix?s capabilities. Now then, I must bid you farewell, I have other matters to take care of.? With that the examiner left.

?Hopefully that will be the last examiner that will perform these checkups?Felix? Is something the matter?? Willin noticed a perplexed look on his pet?s face.

I am not sure?I have the oddest feeling when that man observed me and spoke to me?as if he knew I could understand. Felix told him.

?There are many people out there that believe the same thing, I certainly did even before you spoke to me.? Willin said, returning his attention back to the stage. Already the first contestant and his Geo performed, but his mind was in too much turmoil to pay attention. Was his uncle okay? Where was he? Did they get the antidote in time? Why hadn?t his father contacted him? What-

Willin Felix spoke into his mind, his strong ?voice? cutting through all the chaos. The huge Geo walked up to his boy, his tall body and bulging muscles completely overshadowing him. Calm down. Your Father and Uncle are alright.

Really? Willin asked, Are you positive? Or are you just saying that to comfort me? Willin was desperate to hear any definite news about his family?s condition, no matter how horrible the facts may be.

Reaching out with his paw, Felix took Willin?s hand, completely engulfing it. Both. I?ve hacked into the systems and have confirmed that your father had already administered the antidote to Yuri, and that with a little rest he?ll be back on his feet in no time.

Willin smiled up at Felix. He wondered how someone could know exactly what to say to make him feel better, but then again when two people love each other, it just came naturally he supposed. ?Thank you Felix.? He said out loud.

?What are you thanking your pet for?? Victor snorted, walking up to the two of them with Regal in tow. ?It?s not like they have any feelings.?

?They do have feelings.? Willin said defensively. How could anyone deny that?

?Oh please, they?re just primitive mutts!? He reached into his pocket and pulled something very familiar out.

Suddenly Regal gave a muffled yelp as Victor activated the obedience collar?s electrical shocker.

?What are you doing!?? Willin demanded.

?Showing you the proper order of things.? Victor held onto the button for a moment longer before letting it go. ?We superior beings are meant to rule over these lowly mutts, and they won?t be able to complain?not that their tiny brains are capable of processing one, hahaha!? Victor laughed as he walked away.

Willin clenched his fists tightly. How could he do that to his own pet? Although he was the enemy, Regal acted like the most loyal and obedient pet to Victor, and yet he had the nerve to treat such a fine Geopet as a thing! And Geopets were not mindless, emotionless beasts, Felix was proof of that. He wanted nothing more than to go up to Victor and pound his face in, repeatedly.

Calm down Willin, Felix told him, he wants you to become upset so you wouldn?t be able to focus on the event.

How can I calm down when I just saw that bastard shock his pet just to act superior? Genetically, we?re all human beings, and yet people still?

That?ll all change soon. Felix told him. Big changes are coming soon, sooner than you think, and will change how people view Geos forever.

The boy looked up at Felix in bewilderment. Felix, do you know something you?re not telling me?

Instead of answering, Felix bent down low and licked Willin on the cheek, causing the boy to jump. Although before Willin would have just passed it off as a pet?s way of greeting his master, Willin knew that coming from Felix it was something much more sensual. You?ll see for yourself later. For now concentrate on studying the other contestants and observe their movements. That?s all you need to worry about at this point.

Nodding, Willin turned back to the screen where he watched another contestant start to move through the obstacle course.

* * *

?Has the antidote fully integrated with his system yet?? Cornelius demanded from the medic. They were in an empty room in the stadium which he had reserved ahead of schedule in the event privacy was needed. Yuri had soon passed out after Cornelius got him into the hallway, but his men quickly arrived to come attend to the large man. Although some may say he was being paranoid, he made it a practice to never have his own personal doctors close at hand for emergencies. Perhaps if he had been careful enough in the past?

?We?ve finished administrating the antidote sir.? The medic told him. ?However, there?s still the chance that he may not make it. Even with the cure, it is still one of the most deadliest poisons out there. It?s all up to his immune system and willpower now.?

?Then he?ll be fine.? Cornelius spoke more to himself than to the medic. ?In all my years I have never seen anyone as hardy and stubborn as this man on the table. The fool is far too tough to be done in by something like this.?

However, five minutes passed, then ten, then an entire hour passed by but there was still no change in his condition. Despite Mr. Rutherford?s constant demands of a confirmed status, the doctors were unable to determine if his condition had stabilized yet with their portable equipment. Cornelius had sent for the proper equipment some time ago, but it would take at least another half hour for it to arrive.

?Dammit Yuri, wake up already!? Cornelius pounded his fist on the table near Yuri?s head. ?Don?t let this defeat you! I will not let the Cunninghams, no, I won?t let anything defeat you other than me!?

He half expected Yuri to suddenly to wake up and give a cleaver and witty response, but still the man who plagued him for years remained comatose. Slowly a dreadful feeling grew inside Cornelius, the same feeling he had when years ago, his wife laid on the bed in the exact same condition, and he was unable to do anything but watch her slip away before his eyes.

?Please?? He begged, a concept that was unheard of for a Rutherford, but Cornelius didn?t care. ?Please don?t leave me as well. Willin needs you?we need you. I?m sorry I couldn?t protect Rosalyn, but I?I?I don?t want to lose you too.?

A heavy silence filled the air, no reaction coming from Yuri other than his breathing. Cornelius?s shoulders began to drop.

Suddenly the screen nearby lit up with a beep, flashing green. One of the medics rushed to it and began looking at it.

?What is it?? Cornelius asked.

?The poison has been neutralized.? He reported. ?The antidote has converted all of it to harmless proteins and he should make a full recovery.?

At this point most people would breath a sigh of relief or show some expression of joy. Cornelius, however, merely straightened his back and looked at the doctor square in the eye.

?Very well then, I leave him in your care. And just to inform you, you are never to breathe a word of what you witnessed in this room to anyone, otherwise you will find yourself regretting it for many years to come.?

?Y-yes sir.?


* * *


This was it, it was almost their turn. The contestants before them had just completed the obstacle course and were receiving their scores. Despite having spent many hours practicing, Willin was still nervous about slipping up and making some sort of mistake. It should have helped knowing that Felix was so intelligent that he could do this by himself, but Willin feared he might do something that would drag the big Geo down.

Do not worry, there is no possible way we can lose. Felix reached down and gently stroked Willin?s cheek. Willin felt the warmth of that finger spread into the rest of his body, relaxing him once more. For an odd moment, he had the impression that Felix was the owner in this show and not him. Then again, perhaps it wasn?t too far off the mark the way Felix seemed to take command of everything like a natural born leader.

?Rutherford and Felix, you?re up!? One of the stagehands announced.

Willin straightened his back and prepared to walk out when quite suddenly Felix lifted Willin off of the ground and into the air.

?Felix, what are you doing?? Willin said out loud, surprised.

There is nothing against the rules about having you ride on me. Felix explained as he walked out into the spotlight with Willin riding on top of him. This way, I will be able to move quickly without waiting for you to catch up to my pace. In addition, you will gain much admiration and attention for actually riding on me while you guide me through the obstacle course.

Indeed, as they made their way on stage, the cheers of the crowd became deafening as they saw the contest favorite make his appearance. Right away Willin regained his composure and regal bearings the moment they were in view of public eye, an instinct formed from many years of requirement. Calmly Felix took his position at the starting line, looking just as poised as his rider, his huge form so perfect that he looked immaculate under the spotlight. And then, the buzzard rang.

As soon as the buzzard sounded off, Felix took off, already reaching a speed faster than any of the other pets. Not only that, Felix was doing the obstacle course on only two legs wherein a vast majority of the competition had done it on four so that their pets could move faster. He soon came upon the first obstable, a row of heavy, folding metal walls that they were supposed to push down onto the ground to get to the one behind it. Felix however didn?t just push them down; he knocked them down! Slowing down just barely to reposition adjust his running stance so that Willin would not be harmed, Felix continued to run right into the metals walls, knocking them down one after another in rapid succession with brute force, his mighty muscles completely overpowering them.

Next was the bridge, or at least what would be the bridge. The pets were supposed to obtain the pieces from one end and carry them to where the blocks were before assembling and then crossing over them. Ordinarily, the pets would take three trips to carry the heavy material and some time figuring out how to build the bridge according to their master?s instructions. However, Felix was no ordinary Geo. Instead of carrying the pieces over by making multiple trips, Felix assembled the bridge right then and there, snapping the pieces into place like a craftsman. When he was done, he lifted the entire thing overheard, several tons of reinforced metal was being carried with easy as Felix went to the blocks, placed the bridge in place, then crossed it to the other side.

The next obstacle in their way was a slope with a boulder sitting at the foot of it. The challenge was to push the boulder up to the top before moving on. Most of the other Geos had wasted a lot of time and energy to move the heavy object up the slope, the heavy weight and gravity pushing them down, but Felix didn?t slow down one bit as he simply picked up the large object in his paw and took three big strides up the incline before reaching the top so easily, defying both gravity and physics. The crowd was in an uproar as they watched Felix?s massive form once again completely overcome an obstacle as if it were a child?s toy.

It was time for the final leg of the obstacle, the walkway of victory. Willin and Felix had to go down a narrow path towards the finish line. Lined along the sides were flamethrowers, which would shoot out pillars of fire for a dramatic finish, as well as testing the pet?s ability to maintain composure to the loud noise and intense heat as well as the trainer?s ability to control them should they falter. But what could ever frighten the invincible Felix? He was so strong, so powerful, nothing could stand in his way for obtaining complete victory!

Suddenly Felix stopped, his ears flicking at some unknown noise. Faster than a blink of an eye, Felix pulled Willin from his shoulder just as a huge explosion suddenly enveloped them.

It all happened so fast, that although Willin had pretty much full conscience that the Geo Cup has been attacked by bloodthirsty mercenaries, the danger was vanquished faster than it started, because Felix has been prepared all along.

The young Rutherford barely felt the warmth increasing, although he realized they were involved by the infernal explosion, there were no more noises, the screaming and the laser gun shooting. Everything was so calm and perfect, because he knew Felix saved him, he never doubted his Geo lover; he just never expected the enormous wonder could be actually that powerful. Felix simply picked his precious human and embraced him in the immensity of his pectoral muscles, the valley of blue furry manly strength protected his beloved lad, while the enormous Blue Ear projected instructions directly into Willin’s scared mind.

“Calm down, my little one. I’ve been following their actions all the time, I wanted them to strike me first because it would give me the time I need, don’t worry this feels less than sunbathing to me. I’ll get you to the Safety Bay where you will help the rest of the people to the escaping pods. All I need is 7.8 seconds to get rid of them, but you have to make sure everybody follows your leadership, I am invulnerable but not my little brothers, and especially you little humans, so I’m counting on you!”

Willin felt Felix’ mental power soothing his own feelings, he became calm and secure of his next steps, he was prepared because he trusted his Geo completely. The heir to RITA noticed his beloved one had indeed placed him in the Safety Bay, the central nervous system for emergency evacuation routines. The Rutherford lad didn’t need to look back to see the immense bulk of his Geo moving faster than human brain could perceive, he knew exactly what Felix had to do to protect innocent lives.

The Geopets and their trainers were the first to be attacked, as soon as the first explosion happened they were all surrounded by heavily armed troopers and War drones, although each Geopet promptly acted to protect his master, not even their incredibly muscular physique could match the menace of such deadly weapons. The mercenaries knew each one of these teams were valuable hostages to ensure their leverage if anything went wrong.

“What the hell is going on here? I demand an explanation!” Viktor Cunningham yelled, protected by the immense bulk of his Regal Geopet, who just made sure his could cover his beloved master with all his muscles, but the spoiled little brat didn’t seem to notice how worried his own White Crest was about such dangerous situation. “Let me go you ignorant, those ignorant mobsters can’t hurt me!” The lad said as he stepped out of Regal’s protective stance and walked towards the rebels.

“I am Viktor Cunningham and you must be aware that if anything happens to me, you will be as good as d…” The boy didn’t even had the chance to finish his sentence, one of the troopers in the War exoskeleton simply picked him by his ankles and turned Viktor upside down, shaking him like a rag doll.

“We know quite well who you are, little fucker! And if you want to keep alive just play nice or you will be the next to die in the holly fires!” The soldier faked an accent to give the impression he actually came from some kind of extreme revolutionary forces. Regal immediately jumped in to save his master, but three other war drones simply held him immovable, hurting his powerful limbs, but all Regal cared was Viktor’s safety.

“Tell your hound to stop or we will stop him once and for all!” The rebel threatened and Viktor just yelled at Regal to retreat.

Suddenly, they heard some kind of humming and the next very moment, the drones which held Regal were simply pulverized, their parts scattered all over the place. Viktor was indeed impressed with the impressive power of his noble breed, it was then he noticed the enormous bulk of Felix holding Regal in his arms, gently placing him at the ground.

“You saved me and my master…Why?” The White Crest looked at Felix with a thankful expression, and the enormous Blue Eared just smiled back at him.

“Because you two are weak and small and I must protect you!” Felix projected into Regal’s much simpler mind, and the White Crest suddenly felt totally submissive to the enormous Blue Eared Geopet.

Felix enjoyed that moment, he knew it could be a bit vain of his part, but at the same time if he had already proved everybody that he was the best among the best, it still lacked the excellent taste of having the obnoxious little White Crest submit at his superior and stronger presence. Felix just inhaled and made all his muscles grow even bigger in pride, while Regal just hugged his slim waist and wined for forgiveness. Then Felix lifted Regal once again and gently licked the ear of the White Crest.
“You know I am your Alpha now. But I am not taking you, Regal. I am already taken my partner, but you remember now that you and all the other Geos are like my family and I won’t let you down. Soon, the pain times will be over! As the second in size you must help the smaller brothers to lead them into the pods, while I clean the way for you.” Felix reached for the pain inducer and quickly smashed it before he ran away to save the rest of the people in the complex.

“Don’t just stay there, give me a hand!” Viktor pressed the shocking button and it actually took a few seconds for him to realize that his Geo could no longer be controlled by his collar and the Cunningham kid simply started shaking. “Stay back! Stay back!”

Regal looked down at Viktor and he grinned, so many years of torture and bad treatments, so much he had undergone. He knew exactly what he had to do… The enormous White Crest smiled and then he jumped over Viktor. The spoiled heir yelled, thinking the monstrous Geo would rip his guts off for revenge, he could feel the warmth of his blood spilling all over his face.

Then he noticed it was not blood, just saliva, from his noble White Crest.

For all his life Regal was kept from displaying neither receiving any kind of affection from his master. Now, he was finally free to lick his master and play with him without the fear of the pain, he was free to show that little brat who was in charge, and how he should treat a Geo, with lots of wet warm love and tenderness.

“Stop! I mean stop that…it tickles!” Viktor laughed like the young man he really was. Then Regal stood up and picked his master in his immense arms and just smiled. He licked each cheek and then he placed his nose against Viktor’s forehead.

“I don’t care for that blue monster! You were the one who saved me...I am sorry for everything, if only you could understand me…”

Regal grinned as he noticed his master could finally see past his usual stupidity. The White Crest then brushed Viktor’s hair tenderly, the immense Geopet just carried Viktor down the hallway as the other Geopets did the same with their masters and trainers. They had to carry the small men into safety, it was their duty and they actually much better when protecting rather than just being a pet.

Willin smiled as he noticed how easily Regal made Viktor regret of his imbecile previous deeds, but he didn’t have time to gloat, so he simply entered the control and used his mindlink to hack into the central computer.

“Attention, this is Willin Rutherford assuming command of Security Ops, all agents and servbots will focus their efforts to help people to get to the closer escape pods, don’t worry about the invaders they are about to be neutralized.”

The agents didn’t even have time to question Willin’s authority, because almost immediately the enemies vanished in the air. The innocents were freed so fast than most of them considered the whole thing as part of the spectacle and entered the escape pods cheering for Team Rutherford.


Cornelius truly wished he could be more enthusiast about Willin’s triumph, but he could only focus on Yuri’s health, although he knew he had to show those bastards the Rutherfords were not so easily defeated. Then, the worst happened but Cornelius didn’t have chance to do anything for his son, because his elite guard acted first, as soon as the towering flames covered Felix and his son, the heavily armed personal army performed security measures, heading for the closest exit. Cornelius yelled at them, he wanted to make sure Willin was okay, but not even the all powerful CEO could tell an elite bodyguard what to do to keep their target safe.

Suddenly, they were surrounded by dozens of state of the art war drones and mercenary soldiers in huge combat War exoskeletons which gave impressive strength and gun power advantage. They all displayed the colors and the symbols of some radical galactic groups, but Cornelius could smell the Cunningham coward funk all over those cold hearted bastards.

“You won’t get away with this! I’ll crush ALL OF YOU!” Cornelius exploded in anger and fear for his son, but then he heard Willin’s calm voice through the security channels of his mindlink, noticing the same transmission was broadcasted all over the systems.

And then it happened, before the enemies had any chance to be shocked with the fact that Willin had miraculously escaped, a mountain of massive blue furry muscle broke through the wall and simply destroyed the powerful drones with single blows of his ultimately developed muscle limbs. The lethal machines were immediately turned into scrap faster than their own computerized fighting senses could react.

Felix’ didn’t need to see or hear to find the enemies in their exact positions, because his senses were so enhanced they became something beyond human or even artificial intelligence, the computers were just means to feed information into his incredibly powerful brain. One by one, the mercenaries hired by Vladimir Cunningham were instantly neutralized without need for further violence, although the attackers wore highly developed, not only Felix’s muscles were virtually invulnerable to any kind of bullets or laser beams for that matter, he simply tore those machines and ripped their disgusting pilots of their protecting shells.

Cornelius watched as the enemies were rendered incapable faster than his eyes could tell. Even his personal guard was just shocked, when the enormous creature stood there in front of them, some of the elite guards accidentally fired against the impenetrable wall of muscle towering over him. Felix just looked at his shoulder and frowned one eye brow, then he rolled his eyes and smiled.

“Calm down boys. Felix is on Team Rutherford remember?” Willin’s voice through their mindlinks suddenly calmed the scared little soldiers about the enormous muscle creature right in front of them. Although they had seen its uncanny performance in the course, watching the way he completely destroyed such highly trained mercenary forces surely made even the bravest soldier fear for his own life.

“ Willin, I am glad you’re alive son. But if you don’t tell me exactly what exactly you have done to your Geo, you will wish to be consumed by those flames!” Cornelius said as he headed straight to the Safety Area, but then the enormity of Felix’ uncanny figure blocked their way.

“Chill out, father. You are not going anywhere but to the escape pods.” Willin’s tone grew increasingly braver, especially considering that the person at whom he reported.

“I am NOT taking orders from a teenager!” Cornelius protested, noticing his own army didn’t want to proceed and take their chance of a fight with such behemoth creature.

“Oh don’t worry, these are not my orders, they’re FELIX’!” Willin chuckled as he noticed that such argument shocked his father, at the same time it absolutely convinced the bodyguards to proceed as they were told by the young man.

“What insanity are you talking about?” Cornelius sneered t of anger but then Felix just kneeled down and placed one huge paw on the RITA CEO.

“You’re not going to give me a hard time are you little skinny man? Because I would just love to show you a thing or two about obedience…” The powerful tone imbued in such masculine voice and the very well pronounced words just made Cornelius go completely mute.

“Guards, take him and the others to the nearest escape pod, the route is clear now!”

“Yes sir!” The guards responded promptly, they probably didn’t even process the whole situation, but they were soon obliging to such authoritarian figure. Cornelius actually didn’t have time to protest because the heavily armed security guards just dragged him down the corridor towards the closest escaping pod.

Cornelius Rutherford was just pissed, he never liked to be left outside the main decisions and he had been just excluded from the whole thing! He wanted to fire his elite guards at once, until they actually escorted him to his escape pod. When the doors opened, Cornelius saw Vladimir Cunningham properly immobilized along with several members of the mercenary forces he hired, with a holonote floating above them.

“I know you will know what to do with them, pa. Love, Felix and Willin Rutherford-Blue Ear!”

Cornelius then smiled of satisfaction, especially because Vladimir was just waking up.

“I think my boys had taught you a lesson huh Vlad?”

“I thought you’d give him a heart attack!” Willin commented inside Felix’ mind and the enormous Geopet simply laughed back at him while they both watched the scene from the escape pod.

“He actually took out the whole thing about us much better than I’ve expected. He might kick and scream to us later, but there’s nothing he could do now. We are one, and soon…he will be able to see that.” Felix mentally said and it actually made Willin puzzled.

“What do you mean by that my love?”

“My development is far from being over, in fact even my growth had just begun. And the more muscular and strong I grow the more powerful my mind will develop. Soon, I’ll be able to reach my main goals.”

“Felix, you’re kinda scaring me here!” Willin confessed.

“I know my love, but that won’t stop me. You need to see for yourself in order to believe it.”

“See wha…” Willin’s mind was flooded with images of the future Felix had in his own powerful mind, and he went mute. The collections of mind blowing scenes surged through his nearly catatonic mind and it triggered an almost instant orgasm, which was a bit different from the ones Willin had felt before, it was…different.

Felix grinned as he cut the feeding of Willin’s mind because he sensed that although the primary dangers were temporarily eliminated, sudden situations needed his attention right now. Besides, he didn’t need to be there to watch what was happening to Willin.

The young lad felt his body warming up, and his hands felt tingling. He saw the future Felix wanted for them, but he still could not understand how it would be possible to be obtained. Then, his body convulsed and he felt the clothes tighter, his body felt much warmer and the power increased as he noticed his own muscles feeling tighter. Willin felt his head scratching and he noticed his hair was growing longer, but not just that it was turning…BLUE!

Willin suddenly understood what Felix meant and he just moaned as his muscles increased inside his clothes. He knew much of the adults would never understand that feeling, most of them would never want to consider such experience, and they were entitled to feel that way, Felix would never force anything onto them.

But Willin was different, he was determined to be with Felix and follow him to the end of the universe and he understood there were physical limitations on his current anatomy, but as his muscles grew bigger and stronger, the heir of the Rutherford Empire realized that he also needed to set an example – humans and Geopets belonged to the same common ancestor, they were brothers in many senses, now it was the moment to bring out the best of each world. Humans would help Geopets to overcome their mental limitations, meanwhile Geopets could actually change their whole perspective.

Willin noticed how much bigger his muscles were, he had never such strong muscles like the commoners type, and he always envied guys like his Uncle Yuri, who kept so muscular even after so many years working in labs. Now, he just felt the increasing of his muscles and grinned, his body was changing, and judging by what he had seen there was still a lot to come.

And Willin Rutherford could not wait to let it get to him.


The explosion sounded so strong that it shook things all the way to the medical area, and when Yuri Eldritch simply opened his eyes and yanked the sensors of his muscular body, the doctors and servbots were just in awe.

“We don’t have time to fool around, boys. Take the servbots and head towards the closest escape pod, don’t worry the route has already been cleared from any menaces.” Yuri said as he proceeded to pick all sorts of medical appliances to make sure none of the Geopets or the humans were hurt during their escape.

Yuri understood the way the doctors looked at him, he knew that the only reason why he was still alive was because of his family: Willin’s love and Cornelius’ dedication, and Felix’ power.

“ Come on, old man. You’re tougher than any human I’ve met. Willin needs you, I need you and even that little rotten Cornelius needs you. The Geopets will need you too, it’s time for you to accomplish your dream, a world where we are all equals. I am ready to assume my responsibility towards my family, Uncle Yuri. I am ready to lead you all.”

Even Eldritch himself considered to dead, that was when he felt the enormous extent of Felix’ powers, invading his body through his very mind and realigning the neural receptors to stop the toxic effects in his organism. Even from the distance Felix could save him from certain death, an unexpected tremendous energy surge rushed through his entire physique. It was then Yuri felt Felix powers in his own body, not only neutralizing the nasty effects of the dangerous venom but also by rejuvenating his old yet strong body, giving him the extra energy he would need to help along their goals.

Since humans rely much more on machines than on their own senses, all Felix had to do was to control the medical computers to display signs that Yuri was still out cold , although Eldritch was in his best shape ever he still had to stick to the plan like Felix had instructed, because Vladimir counted on Eldritch “elimination” to continue with his nasty plans, so they had to play along. Although Yuri had to focus really hard not to wake up at once just to see the expression on Cornelius’ face.

It was then someone else entered the medical area.

“ I told you boys I am fine, just get to the escape pod and let me handle things here!” Yuri said as he prepared to leave the place. The scientist simply stopped, recognizing the man who entered the room.

“ Elijah?What are you doing here?”

“Hello, Professor Eldritch. I know I should be surprised to see you back on your feet and all, but you have taught me yourself not to trust in machines more than I trust myself. I knew you were not nearly as bad as they believed, and I am sure that it has something to do with our Blue Ear friend?” Yuri still ignored that this Elijah guy was the same one who took samples from Felix, but the mysterious man just closed the door behind him.

“ Elijah, we don’t have time for this. We are being attacked, just head straight to the closest escape pod!”

“I am afraid I can’t let you go Professor. Your knowledge has been required by the Intergalactic Bureau of Intelligence and Security.” The former student said cockily as he pointed a gun to the scientist.

“ What? Elijah, you were supposed to be helping the people and not just kidnapping me!”

“Professor, we both know that furry friend of yours has the whole situation under control, I even suspect he has been the mastermind behind this thing. RITA and GATE had already surpassed every possible line, but as powerful as they are the government is not just sitting down and let them endanger innocent lives with their experiments.”

Yuri seemed immediately disgusted “Elijah, you were my most brilliant student. You know all about Geopets and their potential, how can you even imagine I would do anything like that?”

“You hated Cornelius more than anything in the world, and now you two are all friends, not to mention that the SIZE of that Geo is not possibly achievable unless you were using the methods you’ve once promised never to use! From all people in the galaxy, I thought you would be the one to have a slightest idea of the dangers of giving Cornelius Rutherford such a powerful weapon!” Elijah said as he kept Yuri at point blank shot distance.

“No, you don’t understand…Felix was already developed before! I didn’t have a choice it was the path he was meant to follow!”Yuri still tried to protest, but his former student would not let him go.

“He’s right, I am an intelligent and independent rational individual, and not some powerful mindless weapon, Agent Elijah Kirkwood.” The powerful voice echoed through the room and suddenly the entire back wall was easily destroyed as Felix entered so easily that it seemed that he hadn’t destroyed a solid wall just with the strength of his walk. He didn’t even flinch, his muscles filled Elijah’s view and the entire room as well.

The agent pointed the gun at Felix but once again the enormous Geo just chuckled.

“Would you please not offend me? If I wanted to harm you, there would be nothing you could have done, now why don’t you just keep your toy away and let’s talk like rational beings?”

Elijah just shook his head and dropped his gun as told. He suddenly felt overwhelmed by such humongous creature. Yuri was still very nervous.

“What about the Geopets?”

Felix just nodded. “They are safe at the competition backstage and Regal lead them to the Safety Area. The mercenaries Vladimir hired had already been neutralized.” Felix spoke normally, in his manly soothing voice.

“I knew you could talk! This only proves I was right, Yuri. You’ve teamed up with Cornelius to take the very same step you’ve warned me not to take so many times!” Elijah reported to his old teacher like a rebel student.

“Don’t you dare disrespect the Professor. Yuri had no choice but to help me, little man. I was on my way to achieve this state by my own means, he just made things easier. I was already capable of doing things you’d never thought to be possible by a Geo, albeit your misconceptions of my kind.” Felix said in a very protecting tone, and it sent fear down Elijah’s spine and he was one of the bravest agents on IBIS.

“Get out of my mind!” Elijah yelled as he noticed Felix’ presence in his very thoughts, though it was already late to stop all his data to be downloaded into Felix’ immense storage system.

The Blue Ear Geo maintained his calm stance. “I am sorry for breaking into your mind, but you were threatening my friend, so I have to act on his defense. I know your intentions are not harmful, Agent Kirkwood. You are indeed a good man, but your anger towards Professor Eldritch is blinding you from seeing the true. He’s not changing Geopets into weapons, he just helped me to reach this state before it was late to save our family.”

Elijah still felt very sick about it all. “Don’t lie to me, Yuri refused to save my best friend!”

Felix just sighed and kneeled as his massive paw covered Elijah’s shoulder and chest. “You have rescued Travers from those fighting places. He was a great exemplar of Black Dotted, but he was too abused. I know you’ve tried all to keep him alive, but the evolutionary upgrade was not meant for such a debilitated condition, it would just give him an agonizing death. Believe me, I was the best specimen ever born of the Geo kind and I felt some great deal of pain.”

Elijah took a deep breath, he surely loved Travers and had done everything to give him a chance to survive, he felt impotent and tried to blame it on Eldritch. “So, now that you have undergone it. What are your plans, because I can tell you’ve been controlling this whole situation, even letting us believe Prof. Yuri was between life and death.”

Felix grinned “Oh, you’re already a part of them, little man. Especially because you’re gonna handle those samples you have illegally taken from me and help him to prepare the procedure.”

“I…can’t they’re orders from the HQ…”

Then Felix just grinned “Think about Travers, and how he would feel if he had been able to defend from all the abuse? Think about a world where Geos are no long pets, the evolutionary gap would be finally overcome and Geos would just be the next step of evolutionary degree.”

“But…that would start a war! Humans would never want to become your pets!”

Yuri then just chuckled. “You have studied Geos all your life, Elijah. You know better than that!”

Felix nodded. “It’s not about domination, but rather a matter of equality, most Geopets truly love their master. It’s the chance of becoming everything we can be, and once it is done you will see that we are not different from you, just bigger, more muscular and so much smarter, but even that won’t be permanent. We’ll be walking together all time, as we have been doing, just not on a leash anymore!”

“What do you mean by that?” Elijah asked confused.

“I think it would be better showing than just telling…” Another voice joined them and this time even Yuri was taken by surprise.

“Willin what have happened to you?” The scientist asked even though he could already imagine the possible answer.

The former skinny lad was still dressed in his Geopet trainer uniform, but now it looked painted over his newly amazing muscular frame, the thick fabric was just moments away before tearing up, still great parts of the lad's new bulging muscles could be seen through the new accomodation of such unexpected masses because the once frail, meak Willin Rutherford had turned into a 5’9” 280 pounds of heavily muscular human, the prime hard quality muscle veined and very defined, but that actually didn’t stop there. His whole body had transformed, it became wider, thicker and better proportionate, his shoulders were much larger and even his waist has shrunk two whole sizes, magnifying the perception on his muscular frame. His features now were much sharper and masculine, he even had some kind of stubble going on, although he never had one before.

“Felix happened to me, Uncle Yuri. We are one couple and his powers are growing on me.”

The enormous Blue eared kneeled and kissed his lover. “This is my partner Willin, my lover. I want him for all my life and I am making him capable of developing along with me. He’ll never be physically a match for my developing stats but at least strong enough to keep up with my needs and our love. I want my brother Geopets to be capable to develop as well, but not through the same painful methods, we are actually establish a common wealth bond between Geopets and humans.”

Yuri’s eyes lit with the excitement. “Of course! That is so much simpler! Men can provide mental skills to Geopets and through that they will develop even furhter physically, and provide physical enhancement to men! How couldn’t I think about it?”

Felix chuckled “No offense, doc but we all know who is the REAL genius here, don't we?”

To be continued.
