A Visit to Eryx
 
 
The spaceship QUEEN-01 had left Terra Nova and started it's trip to Venus in March of the earthly calendar, and it's crew couldn't wait for the time to arrive.
 
Employed by the Crystal Company, the group's job was to extract some of the precious venusian crystals, a powerful source of energy, and bring them back to Terra Nova. The crew was formed by sixteen competent women from all over the world.
 
Venus was not out of it's dangers, though, and the tripulation of women (it was easier to adapt female organisms to the alien planet's atmosphere) feared that the primitive man-lizards that lived there would start a fight when they tried to take away the crystals the aliens saw as religious itens.
 
But Captain Barbara Kenneth from the USA wasn't afraid. Inside the ship was a laser pistol she knew how to use like no one else, and those geckos, as she used to call them, were nothing but stupid cavemen who couldn't compare with modern technology.
 
Barbara sighted while she started to eat a can of gooey astronaut food. That shit tasted like trash and looked like a slime monster, but it was the only type food the ship had. She just hoped it didn't make her gassy, as it usually did.
 
The captain was an extremely athletic woman, with a curly mane of brown hair and the muscles of a female MMA fighter. Her breasts and butt were the size of beach balls, but that was true of the whole crew: the process to make the female body able to breath the cyanogen-filled air in Venus involved the storage of a special altered type of oxygen in places of the body where fat accumulated.
 
That special oxygen needed fat to react, so fat was also added to their tits and backsides. The women needed rehabilitation classes on which they got used to walking and moving in their new bodies before being sent to space. For Barbara, she also needed to relearn how to fight with so much of her body getting in her way.
 
"Captain, only two hours until we arrive at Venus!" A small korean woman with short black hair and glasses interrupted Barbara's disgusting meal, walking awkwardly with her tits bouncing.
 
"Thanks, doctor Gwan. I'll tell everybody to start preparing themselves for the landing."
 
Dr. Gwan Hyori was the ship's scientist, and a very shy woman whose only friend on the mission was her captain, who was nice to her. She had a pulmonary disease, so to compensate for that she needed a greater suply of oxygen and consequently, fat. Her titanic breasts almost touched the floor and were a source of great inconvenience and shame.
 
The scientist followed Barbara as she made her way through the ship, telling with everybody she could find about the impeding landing. She found Imami Usman, the ebony ship-engineer from South Africa with an afro haircut; Juliana Santos, a brazilian tanned girl; Willow Daniels, an australian with dirt-blonde hair; the chinese Wang Daiyu; the mexican Sandra Munêz; the mousy french brunette Pauline Garnier; the indian Shyla Kumar; the irish ginger Ava Doyle; the thai Hom Saelim and syrian hijab-wearing Fadwa Khalil Hamed.
 
The next person she found was exactly the one Barbara wanted to see the least. The british blonde Lucy Dankworth was an agent of the Crystal Company sent to manage and supervise the crew's work, and was nothing short of a bitch.
 
"Oh, great. We are now close to our destination," Said Lucy with a strong accent. "And by that bloat I see you were on another one of those pantry raids of yours. Miss Kenneth, how many times do I have to tell you that our ration supply is finite? I know that austronaut food reminds you of your yankee slop, but you've to control yourself!"
 
In the past Barbara would have started a fight, but after so much time stuck in that vessel with Lucy, she was already used to her attitude. The captain rolled her eyes and said:
 
"Don't worry, Dankworth. There's still plenty of grub, although I think it's not disgusting enough to satisfy your tastes."
 
"Kenneth, you whore..."
 
"H-Hey everyone! I heard from Willow that we're close to Venus now!" The aggresive conversation was interrupted by a woman with coal-black hair who entered the room, looking a little nervous. Her round belly denounced her as pregnant.
 
"Giovanna! Are you feeling alright? Is the baby okay?" Asked Barbara, with genuine concern.
 
"Oh, we're alright, thanks. I'm just a little anxious, you know? It's my first time doing extra-planetary travel, I'm used to extracting minerals back on Terra Nova..." Answered the italian Giovanna Ricci.
 
"Those assholes from CC must be crazy to send a pregnant woman to Venus!" Barbara punched the wall and glanced at Lucy with fiery hostility. "And a girl who never went to space at the top of that!"
 
"Don't be foolish, miss Kenneth," Said Lucy, with an expression of disgust. "Miss Ricci is a genius in mineral extraction and vital to the mission. And besides, Venus is an absolutely harmless place. Even a pregnant woman will be safe and sound there. And besides, the place where going, the plateau of Eryx, is far from the places inhabited by the venusians. There's only crystals and vegetation there."
 
"If you say so. But if poor Giovanna here needs to have her baby there I hope you know how to deliver!"
 
"Humpf, don't over react," Was Lucy Dankworth's final word on that subject.
 
The crew QUEEN-01 started to dress their space-suits made from a special leather and with small transparent helmets, and by the time they were done, the ship was landing at the Eryx region of Venus. The ship opened, forming a bridge from where sixteen women came to the planet.
 
Venus was a tropical world filled with lush jungles and rain forests, with an ecosystem of peculiar vegetation and weird insect-like creatures flying about. The women stood cotemplating the beauty and weirdness of it all until their captain said:
 
"Alright girls, enough sight-seeing. Let's start looking for those blasted crystals!"
 
They turned on their strange metallic apparatus that looked like upside-down umbrellas and started walking around with it close to the ground. The only one that wasn't working was the overseer Lucy Dankworth, that watched their search with her arms crossed beneath her artificially-enlarged tits.
 
Shyla's equipment began to glow, and she pressed a button on it and the object began to dig the soil in a strange maner. A faint glow excaped the ground and eventually a greenish-blue crystal was revealed.
 
"Good work, Shyla!" Praised Barbara. "Now transport it to the ship!"
 
"Yes, captain! It's a pretty big one!"
 
"Yeah, they told us Eryx had some good stuff. Don't stand there looking, the rest of you girls! Search for your on crystals!"
 
The next to find something was Imami, followed by Giovanna, who found three in a roll.
 
"Very well, Giovanna," Said Lucy, with a rare smile. "What a waste would be to leave you on Terra Nova just because you are pregnant!"
 
"T-Thanks, miss Dankworth..."
 
The women had a hard time cutting the thick venusian grass with their apparatus, but it was necessary to advance in their search. The finnish blonde Kristiina Virtanen thought that she found a big crystal, but needed to cut through a bush to get to it.
 
While deeply concentrated on her job, Kristiina felt a little sting, and looking at her chest saw an object pricking one of her breasts. It looked like a....dart?
 
"Are you alright, Kristiina?" Asked Sandra, seeing how the finnish girl looked like she was about to faint.
 
And she did. Kristiina fell on her back in deep sleep, and her mexican friend noticed the dart projecting from her boob. Then she saw a movement coming from some close trees, and gasped when a seven-feet tall humanoid figure revealed itself.
 
It had green, slimy skin, and a flat head with a small trunk-like nose similar to a tapir's. It's two stump-legs ended on suction discs, and from it's chest protuded four ropy tentacles, and on one of it's hands held a small wooden blowpipe.
 
The man-lizard grabbed the sleeping blonde by her ankle and raised her body close to it's face. When it gobbled Kristiina's head, Sandra started to scream.
 
"W-What was that?" Asked Daiyu, interrupting her work.
 
There was an abrupt sound cutting through the wind and Shyla Kumar felt a prick on her ass, like a mosquito-bite. Looking at her backside she saw a dart, and before the indian could remove it, she started to lose consciousness.
 
An spanish creemate named Rosa was hit on the breast and fainted close to Barbara, who began to understand the situation and started to shout:
 
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! GO BACK TO THE SHIP! COME ON, RUN!"
 
Some women were freed from their stupor and began to run towards the ship. There were several sounds cutting through the air as dozens of darts rained on the women, most of them missing their targets. A group of approximately six or seven man-lizards came from between the trees and from behind tall bushes, blowing their attacks at the desperate earthlings.
 
Hom Saelim's buttocks were hit by three darts, and the thai girl passed out instantly. Willow Daniels who was close by stopped running and dragged her crewmate's body, trying to bring her to the ship, but carrying such a heavy body to such a distant place proved her downfall, as a dart found it's way to one of her breasts.
 
When Barbara finally got to the ship, she saw that no one else was coming behind her besides a rain of darts so she closed the bridge. Panting heavily, she turned around to see who managed to reach QUEEN-01 alongside her. Sandra, the mexican, lied trembling on the floor. Daiyu and Ava were talking nervously about the attack they had received, trying to keep their composure. Giovanna looked paralyzed with shock and Lucy's eyes were wide-open, her legs shaking.
 
"Oh, Giovanna! Thank Heavens! It thought you wouldn't make It!" The captain runned to hug the italian.
 
"I can't run with this baby inside of me...I only managed to save myself because I was the closest to the ship..."
 
"Those fuckers were working together like champs! I thought they had peanut sized brains!" Said Ava, sweating.
 
"I think they were...hunting us," Daiyu gulped.
 
"T-They ate Kristiina...oh, it was awful captain!" Sandra began to cry.
 
"AAte her?! What do you mean?!"
 
"Look at windows, captain. You'll see..." Said Giovanna, gloomily.
 
Looking by the window-like transparant structures of the QUEEN-01, the six women were able to see what the man-lizards were up to. They had come out of their hidding and started to drag the unconscious women outside closer to the thick grass and trees. The earthlings saw an alien groggily rubbing his massive distended gut, and two lumps delineated against his skin denounced that his meal wasn't a regular ingredient of venusian cuisine, but a big-breasted finnish woman. Her prison was so tight that Kristiina's body was clearly outlined on it.
 
They saw one of the venusians raising Shyla's sleeping body from the mud and swallowing her head. The thing then proceeded to hungrily wolf down the rest of the thick indian's form, having no trouble with her gigantic ass and tits. Finally, poor Shyva Kumar was fully inside her captor's stomach.
 
The man-lizard belched proudly, feeling satisfied and stuffed.
 
"T-That monster! Treating her like meat!" Gasped Giovanna, horrified. The other aliens started to swallow Rosa, Hom and Willow, much to their friends dismay.
 
"Dammit, we can't let 'em do as they please!" Ava clenched her fists. "Let's get out there and blast those motherfuckers down to save the girls!"
 
"Take it easy, Ava!" Barbara held her irish companion, preventing her of leaving the ship. "God knows I want to do the same, but think! If we kill them with laser guns the girls inside would die too because of the blast's strenght!"
 
"You... you're right, cap...shit!" Ava's eyes watered up.
 
"They're going back to where they came from," Said Daiyu. "Five of them have bloated bellies."
 
"Wait, five? That's Kris, Shyla, Rosa, Hom and Willow," Barbara scratched her head. "But Imami, Juliana, Pauline, Fadwa and Hyori aren't is ship, neither were caught by those geckos. So there's still a chance to save 'em! Those girls must have runned deeper into the wilderness!"
 
"Forget them! We have to....we have to fly this ship back to Terra Nova! And we have to do it now!!!" Lucy said, with a crazed look on her face.
 
"And leave five innocent women alone here on this planet to die?!" Barbara was perplexed by the overseer's cowardice.
 
"It's too late for them, miss Kenneth! Lost in those jungles, it's only a matter of time until more venusians find them, and if we don't get out of here NOW, we might also...oh!" Lucy was interrupted when Barbara pushed her back to the wall.
 
"Now you listen here, miss overseer...you told us that the geckos were dumb animals. You were wrong, they're smart. You told us Venus wasn't dangerous. You were wrong, and I lost five of my crewmate. You said that it wasn't a bad idea to bring a pregnant woman to this shithole. You were wrong, she would be dead if she wasn't close to the ship when the raid began."
 
"Can't... breath..." Lucy was being smothered by the american's boobs.
 
"After fucking up so many times, I don't think you have to overseer shit on this team anymore. And I'm sure you remember I'm still the fucking captain of this mission. And I am giving an ORDER: we'll stay on this planet and save as many crewmates as we can. Was I clear, you wimp?"
 
"Kenneth, you bitc..."
 
"Was....I....CLEAR?!"
 
"Y-Yes! We'll stay on Venus and search for the others!"
 
"Good. Very good," Barbara backed off, and Lucy fell to the floor. She looked angry and ashamed at the same time. "Ava, bring the two laser pistols we have. A certain dumb overseer bitch thought we only needed two. You can have one of 'em, the other's mine."
 
"Alright, cap!"
 
"Giovanna, you stay here. Don't go outside if you value your life and the baby's."
 
"I-I am sorry I can't help you guys..."
 
"Daiyu, I want you to stay with Giovanna and help her if she need's you. Sandra also isn't in her right mind so keep an eye on her Be prepared to open the ship when we come back with the others."
 
"Roger that! I'll do my best!" The chinese put her hand on Giovanna's shoulder.
 
"And you...." Barbara turned to Lucy. "Do whatever the fuck you want. Just don't ruin everything this time."
 
Dankworth said nothing, only stared at the floor. Ava returned with the two pistols giving one to Barbara.
 
"Okay, Ava, we're going out there. Keep your cool and blast every gecko you see. Later, you girls."
 
Daiyu opened the ship and Barbara got out. Behind her was Ava and....
 
"DANKWORTH?" Barbara's jaw dropped.
 
"Well, I'm responsible for you lifes too, you know? It's my job to come along with you...and besides, I'm the only one who remembered to bring a tracking device so we don't get lost on our way back."
 
"I'm okay with that," Ava allowed herself a mischievous smile. "Just let us do the blasting and you won't be a bother."
 
The trio started to run deeper into the venusian jungles. In a distant part of the tropical landscape, Imami was lost in a sea of trees and alien ferns. The engineer knew that she needed to reach the ship as fast as possible. Those man-lizards weren't playing around.
 
While she runned, the african tripped on something and fell into the mud, breaking her transparent helmet. Still on the ground, she looked at the reason of her fall and saw it was a weird primitive sword. Imami then noticed the sword's oner sitting close to her on a fallen tree trunk, staring at her voluptuous form and licking his lips.
 
Imami screamed as the man-lizard grabbed her by the ankle and raised her heavy body like it was nothing. She tried to kick and punch and fight but only hit air, while the venusian watched her pathetic struggles, amused. It then swallowed her afro-using head, Imami's hair being easy to stuff inside it's mouth and feeling like cotton candy.
 
The man-lizard then savoured her massive breasts before swallowing then eagerly, the orbs swelling his throat like two big lumps. The thing made it's way through her trunk until it reached her hips and physics-defying ass. Scarfing down Imami's backside was a bit harder than dealing with her boobs, but the alien managed to defeat those formidable buttocks.
 
After that, the ebony's legs went down easy and finally Imami was being fully squeezed inside the venusian's tight stomach. The south african discovered that having so much "fat where it matters" only meant that in a space as opressive as inside someone's belly, she would be smothered by her own tits and butt.
 
The venusian slapped her ass from outside and hiccuped, feeling beyond stuffed. Picking up his sword, the groggily started to return to his anthill-like village, where he could finish off his meal comfortably.
 
 
...
 
 
"Somebody screamed!" Ava said. "It looks like Imami!"
 
"Shit, let's run faster! She's being attacked!" Ordered Barbara, following the direction where the scream came from.
 
But they never found Imami.
 
"Shit!" Ava knew that the engineer was a goner now, and was frustrated.
 
Lucy set on the fallen tree-trunk the fiend who ate Imami was sitting not too long ago, breathing heavily:
 
"Guys, let's rest a bit. I don't think I can run any more... KENNETH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Lucy screamed in terror when the captain pointed her laser gun towards the british. She closed her eyes and heard the shot, but felt nothing. "W-What happened?"
 
"Look around ya, Dankworth," Barbara pointed to a dead man-lizard behind Lucy. "I saw this gecko's blowpipe coming out of that bush aiming at your ass, so I fried the motherfucker."
 
"Kenneth...t-thank you..."
 
"Do you still want to stop and rest, miss overseer?" Provoked Ava.
 
"N-No way. Let's keep moving."
 
With a last satisfied look at the corpse of the sneaky alien, the group resumed their quest for survivors.
 
 
...
 
 
"Sacre bleu! Good thing I found you, Fadwa!" Exclaimed Pauline, when she saw her syrian friend. "I was so afraid being alone in this hellhole!"
 
"I'm happy too Pauline, but what are we going to do now? I had a close encounter with two venusians a while ago and managed to pass unseen, but there are too many of them!"
 
"Calm down, Fadwa. Let's try to get back to the ship. We can only hope no man-lizard see us, but if they do, we can always run. Now come alon-FADWA!"
 
The soil the syrian astronaut was stepping in gave way and she fell into a large hole. Her large ass broke Fadwa's fall, but it still hurt.
 
"Holy shit, Fadwa! Are you alright down there?" Screamed Pauline.
 
"Ouch...yeah, I'm alive...the fake floor must be a trap used by the venusians to catch prey. I better get out of here before that duo from before comes to check if the caught something!"
 
"Shit...I'm getting down there too!"
 
"Don't do it, you'll be stuck too, Pauline! Go look for a vine to use as a rope to get me out!"
 
"A-Alright! I'll be back for you in a second!"
 
"Hurry!" Screamed Fadwa. "I feel something wrigging and touching my body!"
 
Pauline runned, looking for a tree with vine-like structures. She found one with a single vine and sighted in relief, but when she tried to grab it an aggresive movement revealed that the vine was actually a slimy snake-like venusian animal. The french woman screamed and runned away, her heart pounding with great speed.
 
"I'm sorry Fadwa, but I can't help you! You're only slowing me down, I know you'll understand..." Pauline said to herself, tears on her eyes.
 
But Fadwa had a worse problem to deal with than being betrayed in such a manner. Way worse. For now she could see clearly what were the pale worm-like things slithering up her body.
 
"EEEEEK! SKORAHS!" The syrian tried to brush away the vermin, but there were way too many. Skorahs are carnivorous pack hunters with large, many toothed maws. They cound easily open ways on Fadwa's leather suit with their hungry mouths.
 
Pauline looked back when she heard a blood-curdling scream coming from behind her and knew it was Fadwa. Her crying intensified and her eyes were so yet she couldn't see a thing in front of her. Her body hit something and she fell back on her butt.
 
"S-Shit...not you..." She was in front of the duo of man-lizards her friend told her about. They were staring awkward at her, as if they thought she was super dumb to actually walk straight to her predators.
 
They exchanged a glance before blowing their weapons at the same time, each hitting one of Pauline's tits with a dart. The brunette started to feel sleepy very fast, and the last thing she saw before blacking out was the venusians moving their pectoreal tentacles violently.
 
She knew that the man-lizards talked by moving their tentacles, so it was obvious they were in a heated argument to see who would eat her. In the end, one of the aliens punched a nearby try, frustrated, while the other licked his lips. The Winner had been decided, Heaven knows how.
 
The conquering man-lizard grabbed Pauline by her shoulders and lifted her body. The thing's ugly mouth was watering, and it eagerly put it on her gigantic breast and started to cover them in saliva. Having tasted her tits, the alien started to swallow her correctly, while his angry hunting-partner watched.
 
A loud, satisfied burp was the announcement that Pauline was sleeping tight inside his belly. The engorged venusian felt pity of his coleague and remembered him that they set a trap some time ago, and that by now certainly some dumb but tasty animal fell for it. Feeling hopeful, the duo went to the place of the trap.
 
The man-lizard whose belly was empty looked eagerly inside the trap but was disappointed. Inside the hole were only the cleaned white bones of an once tasty meal. The damned skorahs arrived first and claimed his food! The tentacles of the venusian who ate Pauline moved in a way meant to represent laughter, and his hungry partner's expressed a cursing word.
 
 
 
...
 
 
The trio stopped and saw someone come from behind the trees. The mud-covered brazilian looked at her friends before falling to her knees.
 
"Juliana!" Screamed Barbara, running to help her companion. "Hang in there, woman!
 
"Oh, thank the Heavens, captain....I knew you would come back for us..."
 
"Of course, Juliana! But don't waste your energy talking, you look drained! Here, let me help you stay up!"
 
"Thanks..." The brazilian coughed. "You now, back on Terra Nova I was an athlete...I managed to run away from those lizard jerks but fell down a slope. My body's all busted..."
 
"Let me carry her," Interjected Lucy, taking the captain's job.
 
"Please guys, you need to help Hyori," Continued Juliana. "She has a hard time breathing here and can't run with those boobs..."
 
"I know! She's the one I'm the most worried about!" Barbara bit her lower lip, thinking about poor Hyori stuck on that tropical hell.
 
Hyori was currently hidding behind a massive rock in an area where the trees were fewer, similar to a moor or heath. At the center of this region, a group of eight or more man-lizards were basking in the sun while sitting on rocks.
 
The korean was watching the group with scientific curiosity, and when she noticed that five of them had large blaoted bellies, she knew that the group was the one that attacked the earthlings earlier and managed to devour Kristiina, Shyla, Rosa, Hom and Willow. The stuffed aliens were rubbing their guts, hiccuping and occasionally burping while their prey were destroyed by their stomachs, the sunlight seemingly helping the digestion process.
 
One of the empty-bellied venusians saw something that caught his attention and rose from his rocky seat, and Hyori froze in fear thinking she had been discovered, but saw the man-lizard using a large stick to poke something on the ground close to the group.
 
It was a large, human-sized slug. It had two lumps on its back that funnily looked like boobs, and it's whole bodyshape seemed to sugest a voluptuous, wide-hipped woman. Then the man-lizard raised the slug alien and started to swallow it whole. He finished his meal and burped lightly, and Hyori understood why the venusians were so violent in their raid to the earthlings.
 
"Now it all makes sense! They treated us like game because they thought we were their favorite venusian food, and our ship a nest! That explains their boldness when hunting us! Oh wait until the others hear it!"
 
But Hyori was speaking too loudly, and another group heard her discovery before her friends could, and the korean was surrounded by the man-lizard group.
 
"H-Hey guys! I'm not a snail, you know? So how about you all just let me walk away and forget we ever met, hehehe..."
 
A venusian grabbed one of Hyori's gigantic breast and started to press and caress it, the rest of the group following his idea. The short scientist started to moan. It actually felt pretty good!
 
Hyori started to lactate, and the smell of fresh milk drove the aliens crazy. No more playing around, they were famished. The venusians thought about fighting to decide who would eat that large animal, but noticed that it would be too hard to actually do. She was way bigger than her friends!
 
The man-lizards entered a deep discussion with their tentacles to decide what would they do. Leaving her uneaten would be not only a waste but a cultural shame. They were the best hunters of Venus after all, and a good hunter always eat his catch! While the group was distracted, Hyori thought it was a good idea to to sneak away, and was managing to do so until she felt something pointy touch her back.
 
Turning her head around she saw that a venusian who was larger and meaner than his peers had a spear against her back. A necklace made of shards the famous crystals of Venus indicated that he was higher on the tribe's hierarchy than the others.
 
"S-Shit!" Hyori said before the superior venusian pierced her ass superficially with his spear. Her whole body started to paralyze, and she fell to the ground. The weapon was poisoned, but it wasn't the sleeping substance of the darts.
 
The korean was perfectly counscious while the brute grabbed her by the ankle and raised her body. Her upside-down breasts were falling and actually touching the ground, two big useless lumps of tasty meat. The man-lizard swallowed Hyori's head and she wanted to scream but couldn't. She was thinking about everyone else. The girls who would die or already died. The girls who would have to return to Terra Nova with the news of her pathetic end. She thought about her best friend, captain Barbara. She would be devastated if she knew Hyori would become gecko-shit...
 
Eventually, the man-lizard managed to swallow the korean whole. He belched triumphantly but held his belly in awful pain. It was bloated beyond imagination and looked about to burst. Hyori's humongous breasts delineated against the alien's skin looked like two other whole different girls eaten by the monster.
 
With a burp lacking the arrogance of the previous one, the creature walked with difficilty towards the basking spot while being watched by the admiring eyes of his lackeys. Lying on the mud with his gut facing the sky, he started to sleep while Hyori's life slowly fadded away.
 
After some time, the belly of the venusians who ate the five first girls were only bloated with the rich-in-fat soups that once were solid human beings. A last round of greasy burps released the disgusting death-air resultant of breaking the women's bodies inside the alien's stomachs.
 
 
...
 
 
"W-We can't find miss Gwan anywhere!" Said Lucy, aprehensive.
 
"Shit...sorry doctor, we can't risk everyone dying here. Let's go back to the ship and hope we see Hyori on the way there!" The captain gave out her orders.
 
"Alright cap. At least we managed to save Juliana, so it wasn't in vain!" Ava tried to look at the bright side.
 
"Y-Yes, and if the tracker is right, in fifty minutes we can reach QUEEN-01," Added Lucy.
 
"Then let's loose no more time. Keep running g..." Barbara was interrupted by the sound of something cutting through the air, and looking at a nearby tree, saw a dart stuck on it. "SHIT, THEY'RE AFTER US! RUN!"
 
The group started to run, looking back and seeing some man-lizards chasing them. The aliens shot several darts from their blowpipes but luckilly for the earthlings, missed all shots.
 
Barbara and Ava started to blast at the villains, and managed to kill some of them, but noticed that the group of venusians was WAY bigger than they antecipated.
 
"There's too many, we gotta foil 'em!" Said Ava, still shooting.
 
"Let's go into the deeper jungle, they'll have some trouble crossing the vegetation too!" The captain said, and so the group did, running into an area with thicker vegetation.
 
The man-lizards were confused for some seconds before realizing what their prey did, and that gained the astronauts some time. But they couldn't take it for granted, and didn't stop running. Juliana tripped on a large root and fell on the mud. The brazilian tried to rise but felt something holding her leg. It was the root.
 
She screamed, and her friends came back to where she fell to find her legs dangling out of the "mouth" of a large ugrat, an venusian carnivorous plant with a bobbit-worm-like body. Ava runned towards the plant and holding the brazilian's legs, tried to pull her free from its hold.
 
"S-Shit! The ugrat's too strong! If I pull her she'll be torn in half!"
 
"THE VENUSIANS ARE COMING!" Screamed Dankworth. "IT'S TOO LATE FOR MISS SANTOS! GO!"
 
The british was right, if they tried to save Juliana, all of them would die. Ava returned to the group and they resumed running.
 
"There goes our survivor!" Ava said with teary eyes.
 
Behind them the ugrat finished swallowing Juliana, and the brazilian fell to the plant's stomach-like underground structure.
 
Lucy accidentaly left the tracking device fall while running, and it broke instantly:
 
"I'm sorry! The tracker's of no more use!"
 
"Dammit....it's alright," Barbara wasn't even angry by this point. "We'll find our way."
 
The group found a lone man-lizard in front of their way. The thing walked lazily walked about with a sword in hand and a bloated potbelly. The women could see a pile of bones delineated against it, including a skill that smilled at them.
 
"Son of a bitch! Eat this, gecko!" The captain blasted the alien dead before he could fight back. She shot him so much and in such a short range that the venusian's whole body was destroyed, and the human bones inside it were now in a puddle of green goo on the ground.
 
"Good shots, cap!" Ava praised the destruction of the alien.
 
"I think they're losing us!" Lucy said, hopeful.
 
"Good! Now we just need to find the sh OUCH!" Barbara runned into someone while talking. "GIOVANNA! What are you doing out here?!"
 
After the italian managed to caught her breath, she said:
 
"Sandra went crazy and bashed Daiyu on the head with crystal-searcher. She then opened the ship and runned out into the jungle. I was sleeping while all this happened, but when I woke up I saw a venusian who entered the ship after Sandra opened it eating Daiyu. Luckilly, he didn't see me."
 
"Shit...how do you know it was Sandra and not Daiyu who fucked up if you were sleeping?" Asked a worried Barbara.
 
"She had an ugly bruise on her head, and Sandra was clearly mad after seeing Kristiina go down the drain."
 
"Why didn't you close the ship and stayed there?" Asked a perplex Lucy.
 
"The man-lizard didn't want to leave. I had to sneak my way out of QUEEN-01. I thought my only hope was finding you guys so you could kill the alien on the ship with the guns."
 
"You were very corageous, Gio," The captain patted the pregnant woman on the back. "Let's go back to the ship and leave this fucking place. Sandra caused Daiyu's death and put you in danger, so she can churn away inside a gecko's belly for all I care."
 
The group now formed by four women started to run again, this time Giovanna guiding the way to QUEEN-01 from her memory. The earthlings found themselves in an open area surrounded by hills, and suddenly noticed that they weren't alone.
 
Standing on the hills nearer the women was the largest group of man-lizards they've ever seen. In their hands they had blowpipes, swords, spears and bows. Their small eyes glimered with antecipation: they were thinking about eating the humans before their leaders could claim them all for themselves.
 
"Shit! Were cornered, captain!" Ava said the obvious while trying to point her weapon to every direction at the same time.
 
"Now's the time, Ava. Let's fight with all we got: Dankworth and Giovanna's life are at stake. Are you ready to die?" Barbara asked with a faint smile.
 
"Was born ready! Let's blast 'em!"
 
"K-Kenneth..." Lucy was touched by seeing that the captain cared about her too.
 
The man-lizards started to descend the hills to attack, while the ranged-weapon users stayed behind to try and hit the astronauts. Ava and Barbara fought bravely, killing several venusians while also managing to keep their unarmed friends out of the crossed fire.
 
While the epic showdown happened, a ugrat somewhere nonchalantly burped the digestive-sap covered bones of Jessica Silva.
 
Also simultaneously to the battle, a newbie man-lizard hunter was walking around lost in the jungle after he lost himself from the group that was going to put an end once and for all to that weird food that fought back. His thoughts about how unlucky he was to miss a chance to stuff himself with those juicy animals were interrupted by a strong bash on his head that made him dizzy and hurt a lot.
 
Turning around he saw one of the animals wielding a weird silvery thing with a mad look on her face:
 
"Eat this, fucker! Kristiina, I'll avenge you!" Sandra swinged her crystal-searcher again but this time missed. The venusian was no expert fighter but also wasn't dumb enough to fall twice to such a slow attack.
 
Sandra hit the ground with too much strenght and broke her improvised weapon, and before she could turn around, felt the man-lizard hugging her body from behind.
 
"B-Bastard! I'll give you indigestion!" Sandra spoke before the alien swallowed her head and started to make it's way through her body. "Y-You know I'll hurt coming out!"
 
But her words where useless, both because the man-lizard didn't understand them and because he was already sending her feet down this esophagus. The mexican was now stuck inside the venusian's tight stomach, and the alien outside belched while thinking about how lucky he was. He got a free, tasty meal out of nowhere! Praised be the holy crystals and the many unknown blesses they brought.
 
 
...
 
"A-Ava, no..." An exhausted Barbara said to her irish friend while she powerlessly watched the astronaut being swallowed legs-first by an eager venusian.
 
The redhead had a mischievous smile on her face, and was fiddling with what was left of her laser pistol, broken during combat.
 
"Don't worry, cap. I'll go down but with a bang!" Were Ava's last words before being completely swallowed.
 
The alien licked his lips and rubbed his earthling-filled belly, before exploding in a large blast that killed several man-lizards who were close to him. That was Ava's swan song, the detonation of her laser gun's sensitive system, that also took her life in a way more merciful way than being digested alive.
 
"Why...why..." Barbara fell to her knees. Her leather suit had rips and was caked with mud and blood. An arrow had found it's way to her shoulder and the other to one of her gigantic buttocks. She didn't have the strenght to even pick up her weapon anymore.
 
The man-lizards rushed to see who would be the one eat her, and the one who was closer was already opening his mouth to swallow the american. Barbara knew that this was her end. But suddenly, her fate was changed.
 
"Pull your self together, miss Kenneth!" Lucy jumped in front of her, having her head swallowed by the venusian instead of Barbara. "Where did that rough, hard-headed yankee go?!"
 
"Dankworth! No! You should have runned away! Just let me die instead of you!"
 
"Shut it, I'm the one who 'fucked up'! I feel like I killed every single one of the girls, I'm just honouring their deaths! Now save Giovanna and get back to Terra N," Lucy didn't manage to finish her sentence because the man-lizard swallowed her whole.
 
"Thanks, Lucy..." With a new bolt of strenght running through her body, Barbara jumped and runned like a cheetah towards Giovanna, grabbing the italian by the arm while she dashed away from the venusian thugs.
 
"W-We're almost in the ship, captain!" The pregnant woman said, almost fainting with fatigue.
 
"Just a little more, Gio, just a little more..." And Barbara was right, for now they could already see the ship. They entered it with teary eyes and closed it. They did it! They survived!
 
"Let's get the fuck away from this shithole," Barbara said, walking towards the command room. She put the right information in the ship's computer and QUEEN-01 started to rise from the ground. In some minutes, the vessel was high into the sky, and in some more, it left Venus atmosphere.
 
Barbara painfully removed the bloody arrows from her body, and sighted. It was over. Out of sixteen women, only two managed to survive the massacre. She would have to tell the Crystal Company all the dangers of Venus and the horrors of the planet. She would have to tell them about the man-lizards' true strenght and inteligence. But that could wait.
 
"We're finally heading back home, Gio! The nightmare is over!" Barbara said loudly, but got no response. "Gio? Are ya there, girl?"
 
Still, there was silence. Barbara felt uneasy, like she was forgeting about something. She started to walk about the ship in search of her friend. In a dark corridor, she started to smell something stinky. The captain then saw something on the floor that made her jaw drop.
 
A pile of purple biomass, containing bones and strands of black, smooth hair. The excrement that was all that remained of Wang Daiyu.
 
Barbara remembered what was making her uneasy: the man-lizard Giovanna saw could still be inside the ship. She started to run and scream the italian's name, feeling desperate. She finally found the girl she was looking for on the room of the escape pods of the ship. And she was being swallowed feet-first by a venusian.
 
"C-Captain!" The pregnant woman cried. "Beware, he has your gun!"
 
"S-Shit, he must have picked it up when I dropped it somewhere!" Barbara was sweating and looked about to explode. "But don't worry, Gio, I'll save you with my bare hands!"
 
The american started to run towards the alien fiend, but Giovanna started to cry:
 
"No, Barbara! It's too late for me, and you're too hurt to fight! Use one of those pods and go back to Terra Nova!"
 
"NO FUCKING WAY! I WON'T LET YOU DIE! YOU FUCKING GECKO, WASN'T DAIYU ENOUGH?! ARE YOU STILL HUNGRY AFTER EATING HER FAT ASS?"
 
Barbara was about to punch the man-lizard's belly when he reacted and subconsciously shot the laser gun he was holding. The blast hit the earthling on the knee and Barbara was knocked back, hitting an escape pod.
 
Blood was erupting from her knee and her body ached all over. Barbara felt like her life was a candle about to be blown off, and in a moment of instinctual cowardice, started to set up the pod she hit with the coordenates to Terra Nova.
 
"I'm sorry, Gio...I'm so sorry..." Were the only things the captain had the strenght to say while she weakly entered the escape pod. The pod closed and was launched to space, and the last thing Barbara saw before fainting was the man-lizard finishing Giovanna off and belching with satisfaction.
 
The man-lizards back on Venus had already dumped the crew of QUEEN-01, that is, all them but the larger alien who ate Hyori. His belly was still massive, the venusian's stomach having only turned 1/3 of the korean's body into mush.
 
He felt terribly annoyed by this and could clearly see that his companions were finding the whole ordeal very funny.
 
After a sour and painful burp, the man-lizard started to get up from his basking spot. Prey fully digested or not, it was the time to return home. He could already imagine how awful it would be to dump Hyori out, though...
