Occupational hazard
By Tastysnack
A young male neko perched on a tree overlooking a large clearing, fidgets with the utility harness vest of his ranger uniform as the tiny form of Tommy Gunner, swings from a thin piece of woven cord rope and skillfully lands on his shoulder.
“Quit fiddling with your harness, and get frosty, Ranger” The diminutive officer commanded sternly.
The neko's focus jolted straight ahead “ Yes Sir! Sorry Sir!”
Tommy's voice softened as he playfully socked him in the jaw, “First Lady killer mission, eh Tesh? You nervous?”.
Tesh's militant expression softened a little, “Yes sir! I'm worried I didn't check the rigging for the snare enough.”
Tommy chuckled “I watched you do it seven times, and have Corporal Nicola check your work three different times... Unless your actually blind, I think you got this!”.
Tesh smiled proudly as he waved “all clear” at a small team of rangers at the other end of the clearing then to Alec and Jerris at the center of the clearing, “Then I guess its easy going from here.”. A darker skinned brunette wearing an identical uniform climbs up next to the anxious Neko.
“Nicola.” Tesh says as he politely nods his head in acknowledgment.
“Are we Frosty!?” Nicola whispers with a smirk
“Ice cold!” Both Tommy and Tesh reply with a hushed barking tone.
Tommy climbs around Tesh's neck to stand closer to Nicola. “You owe me a rematch at chess tonight!” He says half jokingly as Nicola mockingly glares at the Tomthumb,”I beat you fair and square, sir!”.
“Its not fair, you can see the board better!” He rasped vindictively.
Tesh's mood improves as he silently chuckles at his teammates playful antics, “ I don't know why your so upset about it, I beat her easil...”
“CRRRRAACK! SNAP!”
Tesh suddenly goes silent as his is orbital ears pin to back of his head hearing some large branches snap from behind them. Soon the entire canopy rustled behind them as they were then eclipsed by shadow, then a single clear word was heard.
“Hello!”.
Never did such a polite, friendly, gentle sounding voice invoke such horror.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Alec returns to his position after checking on Tommy's team, him and Jerris were to be bait for this operation. There had been reports of a single rogue Kensha beast in this area.
Likely a sickly weak straggler that wandered from its group, It had to be put down. Weak and sickly or not, it was a massive impulsive, starving predator that sentient species wouldn't be expecting, or be able to deal with “if they were caught off guard” and that was too dangerous to risk.
“All right! Tommy's team just signaled, the garroting cable snares are set and ready!” Alec called to Jerris with a Charismatic smile. “Hows your support team?” He inquires as he approaches his spot next to Jerris.
Jerris smiles politely “Ready and waiting for action Commander Camlin!”
“Whats with the formality Jerris.” Alec chuckles warmly as he takes his spot next to her.
“Just being a good example to the rookies... Alec” Jerris says in sarcastic tone as she mockingly elbows his ribs
Alec rubs at his rough stubbled chin and neck, “Thanks for helping me get this thing going, Morai and I really owe you, Tommy, and Tharrim so much.”
Jerris playfully bumps Alec's shoulder with her own, “Don't go soft on me I need you standing at attention!”
“HA!!!” Alec convulses silently, repressing a hearty laugh, “Tommy would have a field day with... that... one...”.
Alec's eyes wander past his Neko friend into the violently shaking tree line, as panicked shouts fill the air. His usually upbeat friendly expression slowly drops to a look of curious horror before changing quickly to the face of grim, stoic seriousness.
A light brown skinned Giantess with dark thick glossy hair steps out of the dense jungle foliage from the direction of the support team, and into the clearing.
Jerris heel turns toward the commotion, her eyes wide with terror as she slaps her hand tightly over her mouth repressing an impulsive scream.
“Oh my... how many of you are out here?” The ominous giantess spoke in a chipper tone with a kind smile adorning her enchanting facial features.
Alec steps in front of Jerris and walks toward the statuesque woman motioning for Jerris to get some distance, so that at least it wouldn't be “overly easy to catch both of them in one handful”. The “seemingly” fearless human takes on a more bold stance before stating in a stern tone,“You shouldn't be out here! Its really dangerous right now!”
The Giantess giggles at the strange sentiment, “I think that applies more to yourself than me, silly human!”
The mocha skinned goddess steps closer, slowly bending down as she approaches the Ranger commander. “My name is Milly, whats yours?” Alec cautiously backs away from her approach
“Jerris, RUN!” Alec barks sharply at the distraught cat girl as Milly plucks the dauntless ranger leader off the ground.
Milly watches as the female neko bolts with great swiftness into the dense jungle undergrowth and then brings Alec to her eye level, “I bet you thought I'd go after that Neko girl and give you a chance to escape, huh?” She licks her soft lips “ I'm not all that hungry right now, I just had a Neko along with a few humans. And I have plenty for later! ”.
A look of horror flashes briefly across Alec's face before disengaging eye contact with the beautiful monster. It had occurred to him the only other Neko with them was young Tesh, from Tommy's trapper team. He was sad for poor Tesh and presumably Nicola, but Tommy was one of his closest friends and founding members of his organization. His heart ached, assuming she had likely swallowed the poor Tomthumb with the lot, not even knowing he was even there.
The giantess elaborated further, “ That horrible Neko even had a tiny with him, luckily I got there to rescue him. Or he might have eaten him!”. She punctuates this fact by gently tapping on one of the pouches on her belt “I like tiny's!”
Alec's spirits rose a tiny bit, enough, at least, for him to re-engage eye contact with the massive beauty.
Milly's eyes narrow on Alec as she holds him even closer to her face.“Now what's this about it being dangerous out here? these are my hunting grounds!”. She giggles cutely as a funny thought crosses her mind “ I hope you weren't talking about yourself... That would just be embarrassi...”
“Snap, crunch... CRASH!!!”
The awaited rogue Kensha beast explodes onto the scene through a the tree line, making a mad dash for the vulnerable giantess. Its massive wide open sharp toothed maw gnashes together feet from the unsuspecting giantesses face, luckily, triggering the snare trap, as the forest came to life with movement.
The rough reinforced cutting wire cables closed on the savage, sickly, starving mad lupine beasts neck restraining it as Milly stumbles backward in surprised shock.
A large heavy tree branch drops nearby as the Wires pull tighter on the beasts neck till its flesh finally gives into the rough textured cables and a geyser spray of blood shoots in all directions, it drops lifelessly, partially decapitated. Its head only connected by a hearty spinal cord and some tougher viscera.
Milly stares in wide eyed shock at her now haughtily grinning catch of the day.
“Commander Camlin.... Alec Camlin, nice to make your acquaintance.”,
Unexpected circumstances aside, The CVRC does its job well.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Meanwhile
Tommy comes too, his limp body resting against a warm wall of fabric against some soft yet firm cushy surface. His lightly scratched and bare chest visible to the world through the ragged unidentifiable remains of his ranger uniform shirt. The sudden and violent jostling left him slightly concussed and whip-lashed. Through blurred vision he see's an attractive young blond haired woman with soft gentle facial features similar to his own size, pull her hand away from his forehead.
“Lucinda!?!” An old name comes out of his mouth. “Come back to bed its too early!”, His mind was still somewhat impaired and groggy.
“Boy, his brain is all screwed up!” A harsher toned female voice breaks the tense silence, from just off to the side of his vision.
The gentle faced blonde turns to the direction of the harsh toned voice, “Be nice Tina! He's had a hard day, and he's injured.”.
Tommy painfully rolls his mildly whip-lashed neck and head to look at the equally attractive blonde haired girl with sterner facial features. “That stupid horrible Neko really didn't want to give him up! He might have even escaped if he'd just left him!” She says chuckling harshly as a somewhat callous smile crosses her face, “Thats one less Neko anyone will ever have to worry about anymore.”.
Tommy's fuzzy concussed mind suddenly cleared as strong emotions overwhelmed his senses. He painfully rolls over to hide his face from the girls against the cushiony fabric wall, a decision he immediately regretted as he became aware of the mixture of faint muffled screams, sloshing and digestion noises. His body was too weak and sore to be able to turn away, and he finally broke into a quiet grief stricken sob as he was forced to listen to his comrades final cries.
“Great another sobbing weakling to look after!” Tina says with a bitter passive aggressive tone
“TINA!!!... My name is Joanna and the other is Tina, I ASSURE YOU she's nicer than she seems at first.” The more gentle toned girl says introducing the present company while stroking Tommy's hair in an attempt to comfort him.
“Your safe now.”.
