Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

"So, can I come in?" I asked.

"The tentacle monster is asking me if he can come inside? Hell to the no! I have seen too many hentai to know where this is going! I am a virgin, and I don't plan on changing that Hentai man!"

I slapped my face. Now I know how Sofia felt.

"I am coming in," I said with a sigh. I didn't feel comfortable with Mox behind me, and I was here to save this girl, not do whatever she is fantasizing about.

I pushed my hands to the metal, and my body slowly absorbed into it, moved through the metal, and then reformed on the other side.

"Oh god! I am not ready for this! I was just kidding about being a virgin if that is your thing! I am well used! Wait! That is not what I meant! Gah! Please be gentle?" Cecil cried as she backed into the corner. Was she blushing?

"Cecil, Riley sent me down here to get everyone. I already saved Candace and John on the floor above," I explained with a sigh.

"So you aren't going to penetrate me from every angle with those multiple tentacles?" Cecil asked in a more calm voice, almost curiously.

"No, I am not. Don't look so disappointed," I said, and Cecil sighed.

"I mean, you are a pretty hot-looking tentacle alien. A girl has fantasies, and they get really weird when you actually start working with tentacle monsters! Then a hot one shows up and just comes right in your no-no square. I just thought that it was going there," Cecil explained with a shrug, and I gave her an understanding nod.

"If it helps. Once we get out of here. We can find you another hot tentacle monster boyfriend if you want?" I asked, and Cecil's eyes bugged out.

"There are more of you?!"

"Well, yes, but I don't think that you want a clone of me," I said, and Cecil Blinked at me.

"Why wouldn't I?"

I scrubbed my hand over my face and gave my head a shake.

"We are off-topic. How can we shut this thing off?" I asked.

"We don't," Cecil said as she got up.

"You know, for a person that talks so much, you don't have much to say about this," I said, crossing my arms.

"Not a lot to say about it. We call it Silence, but it has no effect on electronics or humans. All we know is that it restricts very dangerous enemies," Cecil explained as she walked over to me. "What are you that makes you stuck here?"

"I am not stuck, and the moment that we figure out how to deal with the monsters that are down here, I will be sending you up from this room. I am an Annokale that was created in the image of a human and lived as one for the last twenty-some years. The world ending happened, but I was meant to take control of the thing that attacked up. Now I am getting earth ready for another big series of attacks," I explained.

"So, you are like earth's new king or something? What about humans like me?" Cecil asked.

"I am providing a haven for those that want to change. Human on-human violence ends, and death and disease to the best of my abilities. I know we will still have fights, but those will be settled with clones. Still, there are many already resisting or are untrusting," I explained, and Cecil nodded.

"Yeah, that will happen, but why make exceptions? You have the power to give everyone a choice, right? Then do that, and stick to your guns. Humanity is a scary thing to watch, and I am sure that we are on the path to destroying ourselves. What you talk of sounds like a perfect world, in my opinion. A month ago, I would have told you that it was a cute-sounding dream. Then I just watched you melt through the door, and your eyes glow brighter than the glow sticks. If what you say is true, then you are the first person in the history of man that actually has the power to make that change. If I were you, I would pursue that goal to the end of time," Cecil explained, and it was like a small part of my weight was lightened by it.

"Thank you for that. I have been having a hard time trying to figure out if what I am doing is right," I said.

"There is no right or wrong if we are trying to survive. People will die, but people are going to die if you don't. How they die is your choice, and it is a hard one, but it is something that leaders have had to do since there were people to lead," Cecil said, and I nodded, turning to the Silence.

"So, is it that you can't turn it off, or you don't want to?" I asked, starting to walk over to the floating oval.

It was in the center of the room, but Cecil got between the Silence and me.

"I know how to turn it off, but we can't, or we are all dead. I am sure that you ran into Floyd," Cecil said with arms out, and I stopped.

"Floyd? You mean the Shalgoth?" I asked, and Cecil nodded.

"I guess it's not Floyd anymore, but that creature is using him as a body. It was in a high-security area, and It was Floyd's job to monitor it and some other extremely dangerous creatures. They were above my clearance, so I don't know anything about them. Floyd is the only one now, but he is dead or something. You don't happen to have something to eat? I was in here doing some tests when the power went out and the door sealed. I couldn't get out of here if I wanted to," Cecil explained, and I nodded and walked over to the wall.
