Neon Genesis Evangelion Fan Fiction ❯ Acantha's Despair ❯ Chapter 1

Asuka was not happy. Asuka was rarely happy unless she was showing someone up at something. She might be happy later, as a result of her current unhappiness, but for now, she was pissed. They had the nerve (the unintentional pun pissed her off even more) to order her to spend more time with... with... those two! The wimp and the doll, behind her now, were evidence of this. One was hesitant and frightened, as always, while the other made no emotional response. Also as usual.

They finally reached their destination, and Asuka almost ripped the door off its hinges with her shove. She quickly marched to the section of the store where she knew their quarry awaited them. Not that she'd ever been back there. These things were for weak little boys who would inevitably spend all their time on them and eventually end up stupid hikkikomori. No, Asuka usually stuck to the action/racing sections of the game store. But she knew it was there. She'd seen them perusing, talking in jargon she didn't even pretend to understand. Asuka had, of course, had to deter several from undressing her with their eyes. Physically. Being a pilot did have its perks, petty things like assault got swept under the rug. She'd also purchased a few M-rated games, horribly violent and bloody things. She'd only had to pull her Nerv ID on the clerk once.

So, knowing the way, she only had to spend a second looking before the words 'massively multiplayer online' caught her eye and she drew the game off the shelf without looking at it.

"Um, Asuka, that's..." the wimp started.

"Shut up baka." Asuka replied, too pissed to even listen to his whining today. Behind her back, Rei glanced at Shinji's worried face, wondering. The clerk took one look at the game on the counter, one look at the fuming redhead, and tried anyway.

"Ma'am, you do realize this is-" He started.

"Shut up and get me six sets, wage-slave."

"You did ask for it." He replied after a moment, politely enough that it was obvious (to Rei) that he was hiding another emotion beneath it. Curious. A few minutes later, the redhead stalked out the door. Shinji paused to quickly apologize to the clerk after Asuka was out of hearing range but before she could miss him. He dashed out the door before the clerk could respond. Rei was right behind him, at a more sedate pace.

"You did try to warn her, didn't you?" The manager asked, having been watching from the back.

"Tried, failed." The clerk said with a shrug.

"And I heard every word." The manager said with a wink. Oh no, he wasn't pissed at losing business because of the redhead. Not at all.

"Whoah! How the hell'd you get a hold of this?" Touji exclaimed, snatching the headsets and slave-disks. Then he raised his eyebrow as he noted the cover of the disks, "I didn't know you were so... adventurous, Shin-man."

"It's something NERV is making us do." Shinji explained slowly.

"You're joking," Touji replied, deadpan.

"Not this! Just some kind of... Asuka grabbed the first one without looking at it. She's setting up the team account now."

"Oh realllly? Did you try to warn her?" Touji asked, knowing how futile it was to try explaining things to the Red Devil while she was having a tantrum, "Several times?"

"Yes, but she didn't let me." Shinji sighed.

"Well then, she's made her bed, and it seems she'll sleep in it however we try to keep her out." Touji grinned, "What say we keep quiet until she finds out the hard way, whaddya say, Shin-man?"

"I guess so..."

"I knew you had it in you!"

LEVEL 1

Asuka pranced around the square of Noobsville, wondering why she had been so against playing VR games.

This feels fantastic! she thought, wiggling her huge, clawed toes and swishing her tail back and forth. She felt so bouncy, like she could jump over buildings with a single bound! A beast(wo)man berserker had definitely been a good choice! She kept bouncing about, hyperactive, not once realizing she wasn't wearing anything on her legs but fur. She was reaching down to feel her big clawed feet, bent at the waist to test her flexibility, when Kensuke popped in behind her. He noticed right away that she wasn't wearing any pants, since that pose caused her fur and buttocks to part, revealing both tiny pink pussy and little brown star.

He rapidly turned about and removed the evidence of his nose-bleed (quite literal here) and adjusted his pants before Asuka could figure it out. Kensuke knew the plan, and Asuka realizing she was pantsless would ruin it too early.

"One little stooge!" Asuka crowed as she spotted him. Kensuke pretending he was just turning around now. Touji fortunately distracted her, "Two little stooges!"

"I'll show you little..." Touji muttered while Asuka bounced in circles, then he thought better of it and re-buttoned his pants before Asuka could notice. She'd be getting hers soon enough.

Hikari appeared next, nervously clutching her staff and looking around as though expecting attack right away. Asuka almost pounced over in front of her, showing off her silky red fur with black stripes and animatedly talking about how good it felt to be so strong and light. Hikari fingered her long ears and commented on how well she could hear. Which prompted Asuka to start exploring how well her own ears worked, as well as her newly sensitive nose. Rei appeared a few moments later, her ears bringing muffled giggles from Kensuke as the nerd tried to explain Spock to his jock friend.

"You arrive at the end of your apprenticeship now, young summoner. You shall never stop learning, but remember that the enemy gives the final examination. Go forth now, and do your part for king and country against the monster hordes!"

Shinji gulped, looking nervously at the portal. She wasn't sure how well her weakness was going to be recieved, especially by Asuka. But it wouldn't do to keep her waiting and make her angry, so Shinji took a deep breath and stepped through. All conversation in the square stopped as Shinji appeared. Asuka couldn't even muster a 'you're late baka!'

"Um... wow, Shinji. You're... really cute." Hikari stammered, finally breaking the silence. Shinji blushed, which made her look even cuter. Hikari quickly and silently mouthed the command for a screenshot. Touji and Kensuke, after they recovered from their jaws dropping, pretended they were having trouble speaking while doing the same. Asuka, fighting down the urge to grab the vulnerable-looking girl and never let anyone hurt her, finally found her voice.

"About time baka." She said, a bit more softly than she intended, then seemed to rally herself. The Ice-Bitch seemed unaffected, Asuka noticed, wondering why she was looking so tense, almost... nervous? No, not the doll. "I already grabbed our first quest, let's hop to it!" She noted Touji looking nervously at Hikari for some reason. She knew the stooge had a crush, but why would he be worried about her here? Oh, of course. Death hurt. The little chauvinist knew better than to say anything, at least. And Shinji, that pervert! Playing a girl! He'd probably be trying to masturbate at some point. She'd have to stop him, of course, even if it was only a game construct. Asuka unslung her claws; they were newbie weapons, weak and tarnished, but she was sure they would work until she acquired something better. The first enemies came into sight. Slimes? They were fighting weak little slimes?

"Ha! I can handle these, you guys just watch and learn!" Asuka crowed before she dashed toward the nearest little creature. The others watched silently, Touji and Kensuke trying to keep grins off their faces. Asuka's claws cut into the creature, again, and again, and again. She dodged its strikes deftly, raining furious blows down on the monster. Then it happened. Asuka felt her arms grow leaden, and her feet plant themselves more firmly. Suddenly the slime didn't seem so slow any more. Its first attack overwhelmed her, yanking her down into its substance and disarming her with ease.

"Hey! H-hey! What the hell's happening?" Asuka cried, looking scared now as the slime started to spread over her body.

"No, that wouldn't be a good idea." Touji said as he put a hand on Hikari's shoulder as she started to step forward, "Say, 'status view'. Asuka didn't read the manual, obviously. All of us wouldn't be a match for one of these until we level some, and slimes are resistant to physical attack anyway."

"But... what's it doing?" Hikari asked, looking frightened, "Is it going to eat her?"

"Eat her out, maybe." Kensuke commented with a smirk and a chuckle. Hikari looked over at Asuka, struggling and calling for help now, and quite suddenly realized that her friend wasn't wearing any pants, and hadn't been since they had arrived.

"What kind of a perverted game is this!?" Hikari exclaimed.

"Asuka picked a game off the shelf without looking at what it was, and ignored multiple attempts to warn her of its nature." Rei said suddenly. Was she smiling? No, couldn't be.

Shinji? Shinji was too busy filling up on eye candy and wondering why her crotch felt wet.

Asuka struggled and kicked, trying to free herself from the viscous slime.

"HELP ME YOU BASTARDS! I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR BALLS OFF WHEN I GET OUT OF THIS FOR NOT TELLING ME THIS WOULD HAPPEN! I'LL-!" Asuka's ranting was cut off as the goopy creature wrapped a tentacle of slime around the bottom of her head. A moment later the rest of her face was drawn under. The taste, blueberry pancakes, was so unexpected that she stopped struggling for a minute, allowing the slime to get a hold on her knees. She tried to kick again as she realized what happened, but the tight hold on her knees kept her from flexing them. It took its time sliding over her feet, simultaneously playing with her tongue, which fought against the intrusion. When the last of it covered her toes in a manner she would go to her grave denying her enjoyment of it, she felt it slacken. Immediately, she tried to break free, but it was like being entrapped in jello; able to move, but unable to apply anything resembling force. She struggled for a minute, starting to feel a pain in her chest that meant she needed to breathe. Then, without warning, a thick tendril of the creature's substance stuffed itself into her mouth, past her teeth, and down her gullet.

Asuka tried to force it out with her tongue, but there wasn't really anything to force; the substance shifted around her, once again like jello. It did taste good though. She felt it suffuse her insides, suddenly aware that she was going to face her first game death by suffocation by pitiful jello-monster. It was mortifying. Then, suddenly, she could breathe again. As her thoughts started returning, she realized it had filled her lungs. It wasn't almost not quite entirely unlike breathing LCL, so she adjusted quickly. If it wasn't suffocating her, she wondered what it was doing. Would it digest her slowly?

A slow caressing of her toes distracted her. That did feel good, she admitted to herself. The gentle kneading relaxed her slightly. It slowly moved up her legs, massaging all places at once. She could get used to this; it felt goooooood. She stifled a soft grunt. She wasn't sure what it was doing now, but she wasn't going to give it the satisfaction of thinking she was pleased. Then it touched that hot spot on her inner thigh, the one she found warmed her up for masturbation very quickly. She gasped as well as she could through the gooey substance, and it rubbed that spot harder.

Quite suddenly, Asuka realized several things. She was, and had been, naked from the waist down the entire time. She was now completely naked, the cleavage-revealing leather tank-top having gone missing at some point. And the creature was now squeezing her pert buttocks and teasing her engorged labia. Asuka started to swear even greater vengeance on the men in their party before being distracted by the feeling of something long and hard sliding between her squeezed-together ass in some strange version of frottage. It rubbed her anus in the process and she was occupied by trying to convince herself that she did not enjoy that slimy caress. The touches were moving higher now, over her stomach and lower back. She bit her lip as it hit a good spot she hadn't known existed before just now, trying to hold back a moan. Her efforts, however, were futile, as it concentrated more around that spot as it had the other. It was caressing her pussy seriously now, avoiding any contact with the more sensitive spots, pulling the fur teasingly here and there, driving her lust ever higher. She finally let out an unrestrained moan as it reached the bottom of her breasts.

Asuka panted slowly as it moved further up. She couldn't give in like this. She wouldn't give it the satisfaction of hearing her cry out her pleasure. The shaft rubbing her backside pressed in harder, and she bit her cheek hard enough to draw blood. There was especially no way in hell she would let it think she enjoyed ass-play. She felt it reach her nipples, hard as rocks by now. It seemed to flow around them for a moment, and she thought she was spared. Then it gave a squeeze/twist/pull that was just short of being painful. Asuka let out a whimper, her body bucking as she rode on the edge of an orgasm. The slime stopped. Asuka came down a tiny bit and it began again. The denied release almost physically hurt, and Asuka was ashamed at herself for that. It was giving her nipples small licks now, squeezing them, sucking them gently. It came up to her neck, and she shuddered, revealing to it yet another hot-spot. It was almost touching her all over now, and Asuka started to writhe in its grip against her will. The fluid in her mouth started massaging her throat and the inside of her mouth, sucking and caressing her tongue like a lover. Her tongue responded languidly to its advances, and she cursed it for its betrayal. She couldn't restrain her moans any more. A stray thought passed that she was glad no one would hear.

Moaning and writhing, she finally felt a delicate and skillful scalp massage settle in. The feeling was... incredible. She was being touched, caressed all over. Even the phallic shape pressing into her backside felt good. Suddenly, the gentle teasing of her pussy stopped. Asuka squirmed, trying to force herself down, as though to get closer to the source of that touch. She touched something else. Another phallic shape in the ooze, which slowly slid up. She shook, starting to cum as it brushed her clit, but something held her back. She couldn't tell whether it was something the creature did or a desire to save her peak for the penetration on her part, but she held her climax back as it slowly stroked up, rubbing her clit the whole way. Then it came slowly down, the pace torturing Asuka's senses as her body was wracked with unreleased pleasure. It nudged her entrance, and she invitingly but jerkily spread her legs, still moving with the continuous caress. She felt a gentle touch on her asshole and realized the other phallus had stopped stroking and was now poking at her very relaxed bottom hole. Asuka's pride tried to rally for a second, and failed as she languidly allowed herself to relax.

The phalli teased her for a moment, and then, without warning, thrust themselves in. Asuka thrashed, clenching her legs in, reaching behind with her arms, trying to draw her invisible lover deeper as her mouth let out a terrific string of moans and screams. Her pussy and ass clenched and sucked at the slime as a stream of whitish liquid shot from Asuka's nethers, quickly absorbed by the creature. Asuka slowly came down from what felt like an explosion inside her body. The pleasure had bounced and rebounded from everywhere, particularly her nether orifices, rendering her world white.

Then it started to thrust. Asuka grunted, her body unable to react more at the moment, though her pleasure started to rise again. She noted, distractedly through her post-supergasm haze, that the phalli weren't normal. They had ridges and bumps and channels, all of which shifted and changed on each thrust. One pass, a channel grasped her clit, squeezing it through a series of bumps before passing out and replacing itself with a bump that pressed her G-spot on the way in and out. After a moment, she returned to her body, and her hips shook as she tried to urge her lover faster. She let out a moan to encourage it, hoping it would do that again. It thrust harder, and faster. The nubs and ridges and channels were shifting as they thrust now, a continuously changing landscape massaging her insides and driving her into another explosion of ecstasy.

Just when Asuka thought she was about to have another world-blotting orgasm, she felt something bite her clit. Not really a bite so much as a nibble, but her eyes crossed as it sent a surge of pain/pleasure through her body. As her body arched in preparation for another release, at the moment she teetered on the edge, it struck again, this time on nipples as well as clit. Her consciousness exploded, scattering bits of her mind all over as she let out a scream of primal lust that may very well have shattered glass. She felt, through the haze, her shattered mind pull itself back together, and compress into a single point. She thought she was still screaming. Her consciousness seemed to expand then, and she swore she felt everything. The universe, connected to her. Nirvana.

And then everything went black.
