Ultra Woman and the Plant Master

Weeks had passed since Rei had last seen Ultra Girl or had been with Captain Liberty. Her time was spent learning of her new home, Megapolis. The place Liberty had chosen for her she soon discovered was an upscale hotel in the center of the busiest part of the city. People bustled hurriedly from place to place, often bumping into the well dressed, young Asian girl without a second thought as Rei walked down the busy, crowded sidewalks.

Even though Rei had gold that she brought with her from home and also a high value credit card from Liberty she bought very little. Just some clothes, in a style one might call 'dowdy' and a few books that so that she might better understand this place. Rei was also on the lookout for a more permanent place to live since she determined the hotel was more for short term stays.

During the three weeks Rei had stopped various muggings, burglaries, fights, and other simple crimes, but she had come no closer to finding any of her missing Amazon sisters than the first day she had arrived in this world.

Not that she hadn't tried though. It was just due to the fact that she had no contacts in this world. At least not the kind that would be of help. She did have a source that told her where to find the best fresh fruit in town for the cheapest prices...

Few crimes happened in broad daylight, as Rei soon learned, so she had begun to explore her new home during daylight hours so as to save Ultra Woman for the night when so many crimes took place.

The weeks had passed by quickly, but she had learned that there were many places of refuge in this teeming city of glass and steel. Shay's Park, a large forested area near the hotel, was one place Rei could wander at least for a few minutes amongst trees, animals, and water.

Another was the river to the north, along whose banks the city had set aside a long walkway. Rei could walk down the trail of the river and listen to its babblings.

On this day the manager of the Hilton had told Rei about the reservoir, a large, man-made lake not too far away. With Captain Liberty still not keeping solid contact with her, and no clues as to her sisters' locations, she had nothing better to do than to get some peace and quiet.

Also to do some quiet meditation so as to clear her mind of extraneous thoughts. Like how nice Liberty looked naked....

The area around the reservoir, except at the control building, was covered with trees. At twilight, she could see the small animals that bounded through the grass and leaves left over from the winter. A squirrel came up to Rei without much hesitation to take food from the peaceful Amazon's hand.

Suddenly she heard a heavy splash. With a few quick steps through the trees so she could get a clear view of the water, Rei's violet eyes zeroed in on two men near the water's edge, down amongst the heavy, oversized gravel rocks that lined the reservoir.

Two men were watching some heavy, bound sack sink into the water as they held another in preparation of dumping it in as well. Through the dimming sunlight of the dusk it was hard to see the two clearly...

"This looks like something to check out...." she thought, ducking back into the trees. In an instant, she changed into Ultra Woman and began to make her way silently but quickly towards the two men.

Moving softly through the dead leaves of the trees, hidden partially behind the hibernating bushes, Ultra Woman approached the two shadowy figures at the reservoir's waterline.

Holding up the last bundle, which wasn't quite large enough to be a body, unless it were that of a child, they were about to dump it into the water when they abruptly paused.

"What on earth are they doing?" she thought. "Zeus help them is there is a child in that bag because I'll tear them part!"

Slowly one of the two turned around. Rei couldn't make out the face in the twilight's shadows, but she knew from the angle of the head that this person was looking directly at her. She knew she hadn't made any noise, and she was even now behind a tree that hid the shinier parts of her attire.

"This is most odd...."

The one looking at her knelt down and touched the ground. It was a strange thing to do, as if he were feeling the large rocks that made up the sloped bank of the reservoir.

Suddenly the tree Rei was behind moved. Before the surprised Amazon could react, a heavy branch swung down and swiped into her side, sending her flying towards the water...and the two shadowy figures...

Rei yelped in surprise and a bit of pain as she flew threw the air. A she did so, she twisted her body so that would land feet first rather in a heap. In attacking her, they satisfied any doubts she might have had in fighting them. When she landed, it just happened to be on the second person rather then on the one who was kneeling. Rei immediately leaped back to her feet in a combat stance.

As Ultra Woman looked down at the two forms, their faces looked back up at the Amazon. Knees bent, hands out to her side ready to react to the two men, her violet eyes widened as the last of the twilight reflected off their faces.

They were green.

"What the?!" she exclaimed.

Mottled green skin with brown eyes that ogled out at her were what met Rei's surprised gaze. The hair and much of the face was like soft, pliable bark, with green mixed around the lips, eyes, and cheeks.

"Goooo away..." a voice issued from the mouth of the one kneeling. Raising a hand, four needles shot from its wooden, barklike skin.

Instinctively Rei deflected the sharp needles, her bracelets flashing of argent. The needles shot off into the water harmlessly as the man leaped up at Rei.

Grabbing her by her bracelets, he bored down on Ultra Woman. With her skills undiminished by her surprise at their appearance, she feel back, planted her soft boots in his chest, and hurled him over her head and into the water.

"That's one..." she thought.

As he splashed into the water, the other man grabbed Rei's boot. His strength was greater than a normal man's, but nothing compared to the Amazon at his feet. Pulling him down by the grip on his boot, Rei kicked him solidly in the chin with her other foot. Spinning back, the man hurled over the lip of the bank and into the trees out of Rei's vision.

"And that's two..."

Getting to her feet, she could hear the man in the water struggling to stay afloat...

Rei knew that she should probably go after the man she threw into the forest but since the one in the water sound like he was in trouble, she had to save him first. She couldn't let him drown even if he had attacked her.

She unclipped her lasso from her golden belt and made a quickly loop in one end. With an accurate toss, she caught the man and started to pull him to shore. All the while knowing that the other man was still out there and so keeping her sense on alert...

As the strange man parted the waters at the pull of the Amazon on the shore, Rei could hear his companion beating a hasty retreat through the underbrush.

"Well I guess I don't have to worry about him," Rei thought as she pulled the other man in. "Just like evil doers not to concern themselves with the well being of their partners. No honor."

The man climbed onto the rocks at the water's edge, allowing Rei a moment to study her catch. Her lasso glowed a garish leafy golden off his greenish brown skin. He looked up askance at her. From his expression, Rei could tell he couldn't decide whether he should attack her again, or submit.

Rei was fairly sure her lasso would command him to do her wish although she knew from experience that it didn't work on some people for some reason. "I command you to surrender to me and not attempt to fight me. Also tell me if you are injured and what was in those bags." She watched him carefully to see if she could read any information from his expression.

The man slowly got to his feet as he climbed onto the rocks. His eyes took on an odd, glazed look as the rope's magic began to affect him. "I...surrender," he said stutteringly.

Rei gave a tiny sigh as in this instant, the rope worked.

"I...am...not injured," he said, his voice low and grating. It was hard for Rei to make out, but from the way it sounded, she doubted it could get much louder.

He stood very still, face to face with the beautiful oriental heroine. "The bag...contains...my master's...seeds."

"Who is your master and where can I find him? Also, what will his seeds do to the lake and the city? Finally how can they be stopped?" She started to wonder that if this might be more then the robberies and such that she had been dealing with lately.

"My..master..he is...in the floronic lab...in the Kensington...Arboretum..." the man said in a magic-induced haze of truth.

From her studies of the city, Rei quickly located where that was and the best route to it.

"The seeds? I..do not know. I...was only...told to dump...them here...or else... I don't know...how to stop...them..or what they...will do...but the master...has an..antidote...he gave to...some woman..."

"Do you know who the woman is and what kinds of defenses your 'master' might have at his location? I just might have to make a visit there... Also who exactly is your master and what kinds of powers or abilities does he have?"

"My master...created..." he looked down at himself in sorrow, "me. He rests in the hydroponics geodesic in the north side of the grounds."

Rei's eyes widened at this revelation. "A human who thinks of himself as a god and creates new life?" she thought. "This certain is a person who must be stopped!"

"I do not..know the woman. Defenses?" He seemed confused. "He has us."

"Thank you for you information sir. Now please go to the local authorities and tell them what you have done in terms of dumping the bags. Don't mention my conversation with you however. Also don't tell your master about me either." Rei took the rope off of him and quickly vanished into the gloom of the forest.

Without a word, the sad, twisted visage of manhood walked up the bank of the reservoir, and disappeared into the gloom.

It was dark when Rei arrived outside the old stone and mortar wall that circled the Kensington Arboretum. With a single leap, she lightly stood atop the ten foot high wall. Scanning the park, the heroic Amazon could see the cobblestoned walkways that wandered around the Arboretum. Small greenhouses were here and there, with many of the bushes and plants covered to protect them from the cool late winter temperatures.

Unlike most people, Rei wasn't cold even though she wore such revealing clothes. Her Amazon constitution kept her warm enough that even snow wouldn't effect her much. Even if it did, Rei knew how to divert unless feelings such as cold.

There wasn't a soul in sight that Rei could see. A main building was on one side of the square, dozen acre grounds, apparently a gift shop, restaurant, and gateway for visitors to the Arboretum.

"Everyone must be home like all good citizens..." she thought.

However, towering over the grounds was a huge glass enclosed dome of sorts, made from triangular plates of heavy glass set into an odd looking dome. The glass, from here, was translucent, but opaque.

From here Rei could see a set of large double doors in an extended entryway pointing towards the center of the grounds.

"Now that looks like a place where his 'master' might reside. Large enough I should think."

The trees waved their stark branches in the cold breeze. As Rei's breath visibly wafted behind her, following her brunette, silken hair, the ghostly appearance of all the plants in hibernation, glowing in the wan moonlight gave the Arboretum an eerie appearance.

Rei looked carefully at the area as she tried to form a plan on how to sneak in. "Hades..." she muttered softly. "I don't see any other way in except for those doors. Its not wise to use the direct way as that is bound to be the most watched. However, I must get in there and if there isn't another way, so be it."

Circling warily across the grounds, Rei took a wide approach as she stealthily moved towards the huge geodesic.

At the back of the dome Rei could make out a larger, garage style door with an asphalt drive, apparently meant for deliveries. Next to it was a standard metal door. Both looked solid enough, but the Amazon knew neither could slow her down.

"If I were to attach a trap to a door I think I put it on the one most people would use," she thought after looking at the doors for a moment. With that, Rei proceeded to the garage door. With a bit of a tug, she was able to slowly lift it up until enough of a space was created that she could squeeze through. Once she was inside, she returned the door to its normal position.

As soon as she entered, Rei could feel the heavy, humid heat of the interior of the dome. Looking through the faint light that filtered in through the translucent glass panes that made up the geodesic, Rei was suddenly in the midst of a jungle. A concrete pathway veered off at a rounded angle into the foliage, with small plaques on stands to point out various types of jungle fauna.

"Nice place," she thought. "I just might have to come back here on a normal visit once everything is calmed down."

The plants moved slightly in the area as the sounds of a heavy blower reverberated throughout the dome. Rei couldn't hear her already soft steps over the sounds of those blowers and the rustling of the leaves. No one was in site, but she couldn't see any distance, even with her heightened Amazon senses, into the glooming interior of the planted areas.

"I don't like this.... Easy for an ambush to be sprung so I must remain on my guard." Her body, already a coiled spring, became even tighter.

Down the sidewalk the violet-eyed heroine moved, her lithe body moving smoothly as she scanned around her for any signs of movement or sound. Past dangling bananas growing ripe on the tree, over a wooden bridge overlooking a small pool in which moss grew, and past vines that dangled from rubber trees. The wound its way through the domed jungle, every few yards revealing some new plant as signified by a small descriptive plaque.

"Hades... I wish I had a map to this place. I could walk right past something and totally miss it!"

Finally, like pinpoint in the shadowy jungle lit only by tiny glittered from her golden tiara and uniform and the glow of her magic rope, Rei saw a faint light twinkling amongst the weaving plants. From where she had been, she knew the path didn't lead towards that light, so her soft red and blue boots took a step off the path, then another. Ducking under a heavy willowing tree, Rei soon left the sidewalk behind as she disappeared into the foliage.

She liked the feeling of the grass beneath her feet. So much better then the usual concrete of this world.

Ahead, after she went twenty feet, she saw a small greenhouse, its glass darkened apparently in a heavy olive color. Heavy vines hung over its opaque glass walls. Creeping ahead, Rei found a light shining from around the single door. She came closer, and as she got within five feet of the door, she suddenly felt something wind around her neck...

Rei gasped slightly in surprise as her hands instantly went to whatever it was around her neck. Seeking to tear it away.

The surface of the vine that wound around Ultra Woman's neck was rough, like the surface of a sapling. As Rei's fingers wrapped around it, two more swooped down from the heavy fauna that hung from the trees over the greenhouse. One slithered around her waist, pulling her hips up and behind her. With her boots lifted off the dirt flooring, Rei lost much of her leverage. The second vine wound around her chest just above Rei's soft breasts and hugged her tight, making it difficult for the young Amazon to breathe.

"Got to get loose!!" Rei thought wildly as she struggle both with vines and with breathing itself

The vine around Rei's neck seemed to be stronger than any plant she had ever known. Her fingers dug into the vine as her oxygen was cut off by the one around her neck and the second vine crushing her chest. High into the dark geodesic Rei was lifted as she struggled. Outlined by the golden glow of her rope, Rei fought to free herself. More vines draped down over her as she pulled the vine around her neck far enough away to get her breath back as much as possible with another squeezing her breasts.

"Great Hera!" she gasped. "What are these things?!" These 'things' were unlike anything she had ever fought before. It was like fighting an intelligent octopus.

With an effort, Rei forced the vine off her neck. It flailed like a wild snake as she was lifted high into the dome's insides. Another vine wrapped around her left boot, pulling her leg down and out away from her body. A separate shadowy vine tried to wind around her other leg but the agile Amazon was able to pull it away at the last moment.

She was also able to give the vine a swift kick that knocked it well away from her. A minor victory in the ongoing war. Rei couldn't figure out the exact strategy but she assume it wanted to take hold of her limbs and choke her unconscious.

As another vine whipped around her waist, it pushed down the crack of Rei's upturned, athletic ass. Down past those soft, yet muscular, cheeks, it slid between her legs.

Rei's eyes widen in shock as she felt it begin to probe her most private of regions. She knew that she had to escape before it came into contact with her womanhood. If it did, it would trigger the Curse of Troy which would rob her of her Amazon strength.

Her struggles intensifying, Rei looked up as another shadow drew her attention. Suddenly she was face to face with some odd, flowering bloom. As she fought the vines, the bloom opened up...and suddenly lurched at her face!

Rei pulled her head to the side in a vain attempt in keeping it away from her vulnerable face.

Distracted by the vine slithering between her legs and against the blue satin covering her nether lips, Rei moved a split second too late. The bloom thrust forward, it's flowers surrounding her mouth. The petals seemed to suck around her cheeks and chin, holding the flower in place over her mouth and nose. Her violet eyes widen in alarm as the tips of the dark petals partially blocked her vision.

Rei shook her head violently in an attempt to shake the bloom off but it gripped her face too strongly. She could smell a sweet scent that was undesirable, but quite erotic. Enough so that Rei could feel the mound of fur between her legs become moist. "Oh no..." she thought, panicked. "Not this too!"

Two more vines wound down over Rei, grabbing at her arms. More of the unbelievably strong vines were attacking the heroine every second. Only her leg was free until it too was finally brought into the chilling embrace of two more vines. Another twisted around her left arm, pinning it back and out behind her, forcing her body to arch painfully.

Her full breasts thrust out so much that they almost seemed ready to explode from her bustier. Rei's struggles made their soft yet firm plumpness quiver in response. The satin like fabric stimulating her nipples to become like rock hard nubs.

Her hips were arched up higher behind the Amazon by the two vines around her waist, making her more vulnerable as the vine between her legs slithered back and forth over her slit. More of the dark green vines wrapped around her lithe legs, pulling them out from her, which made Rei that much more vulnerable as the tip of the vine pressed into her moistening satin tights.

Rei could feel the Curse taking beginning to take hold of her even as she tried to fight it. Every stroke of the vine took a bit more of her strength away and caused her struggles to become weaker. She did try to shunt all the pleasurable feelings away so that they didn't swallow her up.

In the shadows, as she struggled violently, two more blooms rose up out of the darkness. It floated upwards on a stem like a king cobra, ready to strike. As the two stems rose towards Rei, the petals opened up, revealing a stamen that was at least an inch long. To her relief it retracted into the stem, but the petals opened, just like one over her mouth, and came to a weaving stop, just a few feet in front of her breasts...

Her eyes widened in horror as she realized what was about to happen. "NOOOOOOO!!!!" she screamed but the sound was muffled by the bloom already on her face. Rei tried to struggle but the vines held her tight. All she could do was watch as the blooms moved in the air so close to her vulnerable and sensitive breasts.

More vines draped down from the overhanging branches of the trees to surround the bucking beauty's body. Rei writhed in the vines like captured prey seeking an escape. The two blooms hovered before her breasts, as if timing her wild freedom-seeking gyrations.

Just like the snakes they seemed to be imitating, the blooms abrupt darted forward. The petals surrounded Rei's luscious melons in an instant. Her thrashings increased but the flexible vines simply moved with Ultra Woman's motions with ease.

She could feel the petals massaging the firm plumpness while the stems at the center rubbed her hard nipples. Every time her body moved, the blooms moved in the opposite direction. Tugging and squeezing her breasts together. Rei moaned in exquisite agony as the plants molested her flesh in such wonderful ways.

Meanwhile the vine between her legs continue to slither over her moistening pussy. Unbidden, the Amazon's passion rose as the rounded tip of the vine stimulated her most sensitive spot. Every few seconds the tip would grind its semi-rigid tip against her clit, driving her closer to the edge of the Curse.

Even as she tried to fight it, Rei knew it was a losing battle. The Curse always won over an Amazon in the end. All she could do was try to delay it and perhaps escape somehow. Even as her body weakened, she still struggled and looked for some sort of opening.

Abruptly the vine slithering over Rei's slit stopped and retracted. The vines continued to hold her in place, but no more attacked her. It was as if she were in the eye of the storm. The dozen vines that held her kept her almost immobile, even if bent arched almost painfully. It was hard to move her head with the bloom over her mouth and nose, but the sweet smell was so wonderful, and she had no choice but to breath it in.

Rei whimpered softly as she felt so full of the sensations. She also felt how unfair it was to be attack in two different ways at the same time. She might have fought one more easily but both robbed her of the concentration she needed. Try as she might she felt herself giving into the pleasure with each passing minute.

Then she felt it. The satin panties were being pulled away, directly down between her legs. She felt a thread pop, then another, followed by more. In seconds, her blue tights were flapping free, letting the hot, damp air of the dome touch her most private parts.

She sighed in almost delight as the air felt almost as warm and moist as her womanhood. Rei shook her head in a vain attempt to clear away the fuzzyness she felt. She so wanted to just give in and let herself feel everything.

The vine tip against rolled against her womanhood, this time pushing open her nether lips until the tip against thumped wetly against her clit, sending pulsations of pleasure rushing through Rei.

"Oh gods....." she moaned. The sweet scent becoming more and more heavy, her lungs and brain filled with it. Her body on fire from all the pleasure that she was feeling from its touches. Rei still struggled but it was so weak as to be easily mistaken for the someone making love rather then fighting.

Rei could guess what was about to happen, but she was powerful to prevent it. The tip nudged between her lips, and like a thick rubber snake, it pushed inside the helpless heroine...

As it slid ever deeper into her, Rei threw back her head and gave a loud scream of pleasure even as tried with every last bit of her strength to defeat her attacker. She could feel her strength draining away like water down a drain so she had to escape now or be defeated.

The vines twisted and slithered into her aching sex, sending Rei to new heights of pleasure. The rough surface ground against her most sensitive flesh. Slowly the vine overcame her resistance to delve deeply into her body.

The tidal wave of sensation finally broke Rei's will. All the pleasures she felt along with the scent finally drove her over the edge into a madness of ecstasy. Her eyes squeezed shut as she gave a long low moan of utter defeat.

The blooms mashed and kneaded her breasts while the stamen within teased her satin enclosed nipples. They wrapped around the hard bud, tugging and toying with it as if wishing to draw milk from her.

She had never felt such feelings as what these blooms were creating. It was as if two separate people were molesting each of her breasts at the same time. Not to mention how each of the vines wrapped around her limbs and body slowly throbbed as well. Rei felt like she was in a cocoon of pleasure.

Her struggles were useless as the Curse weakened her far past the point of breaking the vines that held her in place, high off the ground below.

Rei's movements slowed from the violent struggles of earlier to more of a gentle kind. Enough so that she slowly swayed back and forth in the grasp of the vines. Her strength reduced that of a small child but just enough so that she could respond to the vine within her movements. As it thrust into her, she slowly moved her hips in a circle so as to have more of it rubbed her over sensitive walls.

With their prey now assisting them, it was easy for the vines to hold the gently swaying heroine in their grasp as the thick vine plunged eagerly in and out of her wet slit. Its thrusts weren't wild, but controlled, lengthy pushes that split Rei's womb open and pressed against every cell of her velvet sheath.

She felt it press against her cervix and rub against it on the downward portion of the thrusts. Causing a gasp to escape her lips each time it did it. As she did so, she would take more and more of that erotic scent into her body until her open mouth pressed against the petals. Drops of the liquid that produced the scent dripped into her mouth and cause starbursts of pleasure in her mind. With a scream that filled the dome, she came with every fiber of her being.

High in the air Rei floated in the vines as they methodically forced her body to submit to their pleasures. Her mind, drowned in the flood of ecstasy, was close to shutting down as the vines pulled the unbidden orgasm from the shuddering heroine.

From somewhere, a burst of strength came into Rei's body. She struggled in the grip of the vines. Not to escape, she was past caring now, but just pulling at them hard. Her sheath squeezed the vine within it so hard that it actually compressed it. Unlike a human man, it wasn't hurt and just kept thrusting into her.

They held her easily, even as her body arched, strained, and came. Down the vine her love juices ran, turning the green vine white and shiny as it continued to pull every last bit of her orgasm from Ultra Woman.

The juices quickly soaked into the vines as they continued to molest the Amazon heroine they had at their mercy. It was almost as if they fed upon the juices she produced and wanted her to make more them.

With the heroine too weak to even hold her head up, the vines easily kept Rei helpless high over the floor of the jungle floor below. In the shadows the curvaceous silhouette struggled feebly, only to cum again and again as the vines lead her over the precipice of orgasm over and over.

A single vine carefully moved into the crack between her round and full buttocks to slowly stroke her puckered asshole. It went no further then that but each time it pressed against it, Rei squealed slightly. The tip of another vine rubbed and massaged her clit in opposite time to the thrusts. The vines worked as single unit to make Rei feel every once of pleasure her body could produce.

Rei lost track of the time she spent in the darkness, her pussy now the home of the viney invader. Orgasms hammered her mind, soul, and body, turning the powerful, heroic Amazon into a limp, drooling puddle of a woman.

And still they worked at her. More like a machine then an intelligence. An intelligent being would have know that she was utterly defeated and that it was time to use her in other ways.

Mercifully, it ended after uncounted orgasms, as Rei's mind finally shut down, sending her spiraling into a darkness of pleasure. The shadow slumped, and hung like a fly in a web, as the vines even then continued to penetrate and use the unconscious heroine...

Rei's mind may have shut down but her body still responded to the orgasms. At least in how her vagina continued to throb and grab at the vine invading it. Also in that she still fed them the love juice that they seemed to crave.

Rei's violet eyes blinked open, slowly bringing faint light into her mind. Her head spun in a post-orgiastic fog. The voluptuous Amazon's body still tingled from her rape.

She felt no shame in what had happen to her as she had expected to no less when she had come to this world. Men would take advantage of her and her sisters but Aphrodite had granted them all peace of mind. As long as she kept her honor, nothing would ever touch her.

Looking around, she seemed to be inside the greenhouse, perhaps in some backroom. Dark glass panes surrounded her. She was in the air. Green vines bound her arms behind her, pinning them to the middle of her back. More wound around her chest and shoulders, keeping her dangling in midair. Her legs were free, but they felt as heavy as lead weights. Her torn blue satin panties hung in tatters, the ends of the satin shreds tickling her dark pubes as she swung slightly.

She could also feel that her breasts were still within the satin bustier but felt even more sensitive then normal. As a matter of fact, her whole body felt so sensitive. From the tips of her boot enclosed toes to her tiara. Her muddled thinking assumed that it was from all the orgasms she had been subjected too.

She was about four feet off the brick floor, in a room filled with vines, large plants, and a few trees. The ceiling was covered with vines, from which she hung.

Rei didn't even try to struggle because she knew it would be hopeless. The Curse had drained her strength to point where a newborn kitten would be stronger then she. She knew that the only thing she could do was look for whoever had taken her prisoner to make a mistake that she could exploit. Either that or what to be rescued by someone. She closed her eyes and tried to rebuild her reserves of energy.

Rei had no idea if she dozed off, but time in the greenhouse room, cut off from the outside world and trapped in the vines that bound her arms tight, was hard to discern. In and out of a world of sleep Ultra Woman passed.

As she would sleep, her eyes twitched slightly as she dreamed. They were peaceful ones of her beautiful island home which helped to heal any damage to her thoughts that her encounter had left. Every time she awoke Rei could feel more of her strength returning to her. She knew however that she had been raped so hard that it would awhile before she was back to full power. That was also only if she wasn't molested again in the meantime.

The single door opened, which caused Rei's violet eyes to open. Any motion but her own slow swinging was something to get her attention.

A single man entered. It was hard to make much of him out in the dark greenhouse, but as he approached Rei in plodding, heavy steps, she could make him out. He was a large man wearing a pair of dirty brown overalls with a dark plaid shirt beneath. His face was clouded in shadows as he paused at some bench. It was difficult for Rei to see what he was doing but she could hear this man talking softly to someone.

She was surprised a bit at his appearance. "He doesn't seem to be all that powerful but then again, looks can be deceiving." She also wondered who he was talking to since she had noticed no one else in the room. "He can't be talking to the planets, can he? Sister Miriam does that and I always figured she was crazy."

He was apparently oblivious to the dangling heroine that swung slightly from the vines in the middle of the room. He walked around the edges of the room, big hands gently caressed the plants he passed. Rei could turn her imprisoning vines enough to allow her to follow the man's movements, but not a word did he give to the helpless Asian Amazon.

---

She didn't know what worried her more: being all but helpless before this man or the total lack of interest he seemed to have for her.

Finally he turned to Rei and walked up to her. As his face came into view, she first noticed the heavy brownish-red beard that covered his face. His skin, unlike the two men at the reservoir, was ruddy, suntanned skin, but definitely not green or brown.

Rei didn't turn away from him but coolly looked him directly in the eyes. She was determined not to show him any fear. "I say kind sir," she said in as normal voice as possible. "Would you care to release me? I'm quite sure I could find you some help and I would think the authorities would allow you to keep some of your plants." She was under no illusions that he would actually let her go, but it had to be tried. Who knows, it might actually work.

The man reacted as if nary a word has left Rei's lips. He approached her like she might be one of the man plants, perhaps with less enthusiasm.

His meaty hands, rough from callouses, ran down Rei's lower back beneath her bound arms, then over her bustier, belt, and the remains of her panties. Wordless still, ignoring anything she might say, the man squeezed an ass cheek of the heroine before him.

A small gasp escaped her lips as her skin was still so sensitive and his rough hands triggered many nerve impulses to her mind. She shifted her weight slightly and spun away from him in order to try and escape his hands.

Too weak to stop him, the man lifted Rei's left leg. His hand pressed and squeezed the muscles and tendons. Releasing her leg, he pushed her hip forcing her to spin around to face him again. His hands came back up thighs, against feeling the muscles, now almost quivering, then over her hipbones. He kneaded, of all things, her belly, despite the heavy, firm breasts just above it. Like a doctor doing an exam, he scoured every part of her abdomen, feeling every part of it until satisfied.

Rei closed her eyes for a second and gave a tiny sigh as he unknowingly massaged out some of the knots in her muscles. Just as quickly, her opened again to keep watch on what he was doing to her. "I feel like an animal being examined by a future owner," she thought distastefully.

He paused at her breasts only for a moment, before turning to her face. He looked up at her in the blandest expression she had ever seen. It were as if Rei was nothing different from the tables around her. His dark green eyes drank in her face as his hand pressed against her cheek.

It took all her determination not to jerk her head away from his hand. She allowed it to remain there as she figured it might make him mad if she did so. It was better to keep him bland rather then upset. However his seemingly bland attitude did worry her since he might not care what he did to her.

"Yes," he said, breaking the eerie silence with a voice low, soft, and gravely, "Yes, you'll work perfectly. Tell me, flesh, are you barren like the other two?"

Rei's eyes narrowed ever so slightly at his words. They didn't sound all that comforting and she again took stock of her reserves. Still not enough to break free but that's what she expected. "What other two and what do you mean by 'barren'?" she asked, not sure she really wanted to know.

He looked up at Rei, his passive, bearded face hiding any hint of an expression or emotion. "Barren, flesh, incapable of bearing progeny."

Her eyes widened at his answer. The gears began to turn within her head and she didn't like the possible reasons he would want to know such a question. "That is a highly personal question sir and I refuse to answer it," she said in an indignant tone. Rei didn't want him to know that yes, she could bare children but that she hadn't done so as of yet. All Amazons always had one daughter once in their live. Most thought that they could only have one child but Rei was of the opinion that this was false. The Amazons only had one child because they only went out to find a father once in their whole, long lives.

The man didn't blink or shrug, instead he simply went on as if Rei had never spoken.

The man released her cheek and stepped back from her. From some pocket in his overalls he pulled out a measuring tape. Unrolling it, he continued to speak in that low, quiet tone. "As repugnant as your fleshy, weak body is, I must use it to continue not only my DNA strain, but also to bring forth the next step in evolution." As he spoke, he swiveled Rei around by her hip so he was behind her. His calloused hands reached around her soft skin and measured her hips. "With your physiology, I estimate you'll survive the embryo placement and gestation period, but I am unsure about the birthing process," he said emotionlessly as he measured Rei's waist and breasts.

Rei gasped in shock from his words and from his touch. If anyone else had told her what he had said, she would never have believed him. After seeing the two beings at the part, she knew it was within his power to attempt such a thing with her. "There is no way on earth that I will allow you to do that to me!" Summoning all her strength, Rei brought her feet together and tried to kick him backwards, towards the side of the room. At the same time tugging at the vines holding her arms.

He moved slowly, but in Rei's current condition, both weak and bound, she wasn't much faster. By the time swung her legs enough to actually move the man, his forearm was in front of him and blocked the kick at her calves.

Rei felt his body and thought it was almost like she had tried to kick a tree. She had never felt such strength within a person!

Without any leverage and her body still stunned by the vines that had ravished her, Rei was helpless as the man calmly grabbed her ankles and held her in place as if she were nothing more than a baby. His strength was incredible. At full strength, Rei thought she might be stronger than this man, and definitely faster, but in her present state, she was helpless until the Curse wore off.

What was a little surprising to Rei was the fact that he didn't punish her for her actions. "He must think me so weak as not to worth it," she thought dejectedly.

As he held her ankles immobile, vines came down from the ceiling to hold her in place. Wrapping around her thighs and spiraling down her legs until stopping over the lower half of her boots, Rei soon found herself even more helpless.

"Hades..." she sighed under her breath. Instead of being in vertical position, the vines now hand her hanging in a kneeling type one. One that exposed her womanhood much better then before.

"From your struggles I assume you are not barren." He paused as he walked around Rei again. "Then again, the other two fought but were barren. Your species confuses me."

A quick thought went through her mind as she recalled his previous words. "'Our physiology' he said. Could it be that attempted this with Melania and Tania as well?" she wondered as she recalled two of the previous incarnations of Ultra Woman.

Without another word, the man unbuckled his overalls and let them fall from him, revealing a thick shirt which soon came off as well. He had a broad chest, covered with thick hair like his face. As the overalls hit the floor, bundling around his boots, it revealed his manhood.

As she looked from his face down his body, Rei had an unconscious thought about how attractive he could be in a rough neaderthalic way. But since he had captured her and had his minions molest her she disregarded such thoughts quickly. When her eyes fell upon his groin, she gasped.

The thing was, almost literally, a log. From the waist down this man had skin of green and bark, just like the two men Rei had met at the reservoir. His penis was just like the rest of him, heavy, slow, and covered with soft bark.

"By the gods..." she whispered as she took in the sight of him. She could conceive of no magic that could turn a person into something such as this. It was a perversion of nature to all her sensibilities. The gods had created humans and nature and did not intend for the two to intermingle on such a basic level.

The vines pulled Rei's legs together as the man stroked his treepole. It slowly got harder as Rei watched, growing larger with ever stroke of his hand. The vines lowered Rei down closer to the floor while others pulled her legs apart...

She struggled with every once of strength that she had. Rei knew she had to get away from this creature. If she didn't, he would have her way with her like his plants had. If she thought she was weak now, she knew being with him would finish her not for hours but for days! Rei had another reason to escape as well, one that she dare not let him know. She was in her fertile time and could conceive.... The horror of what might happen at the hands of the monster and his 18 inch penis causes her to thrash within the tangle of vines.

His hands took her hips in his powerful grip. The hands were rough and raw upon Rei's sensitive, smooth skin as he easily held the beautiful Asian heroine in place.

With the vines holding her legs apart, his hips stepped between her bent knees. Rei was tilted backwards until her torso was about forty-five degrees to the floor. His thick dickwood was now level with her rosebudding vagina.

"NO!" she yelled as she continued to fight him. "You don't know what you're doing!! This is a perversion against the gods!!" Rei silently pleaded with the gods to give her the strength to escape this oncoming horror.

He looked at Rei with a degree of placidness that was almost dead. "This is not perversion, this is evolution."

The vines keeping her bound and in the air tightened, nearly crushing the breath from Ultra Woman. As she gasped at the sudden tightening around her breasts, she was swung back. The tip of the rough cock touched her still-sensitive nether lips, and nudged them open.

The instant he did so, her struggles ceased as the Curse once again stole what strength she had built up. A tiny whimper came from her lips as she felt the not unpleasant texture of his cock. She didn't want to give in to him and tried her best not to.

"With your Amazon body, my intellect, and my plant's strength, my child will fulfill my mission," the Plant Master said softly as his cock gently pushed into Rei's pussy...

Rei slowly shook her head in an attempt to disagree with him as his massive cock slide ever deeper into her. "No...." she whispered. "Stop...."

Plant Master pulled Rei's hips towards him, pushing his thick log inside her fast-moistening pussy. The wooden spike split her open with ease as the strong man overcame what little resistance she had left.

Rei moaned in desperation as he began to fill her. Instinctively she tried to tighten her pussy to keep him out but his relentless cock pushed past easily. The Curse taking so much of her strength that she could barely keep her eyes open let alone fight back.

Impassively he pulled her over to him and calmly watched as his barky pole disappeared within the heroine. Inch by inch Rei was forced to take more of him inside her. Her hips groaned as the mass compelled them to expand to make room within her sheath.

The room was silent except for Rei's moans and whimpers. Also a tiny dripping sound as juices dripped from her pussy on to the brick floor. A small vine snaked across the room to absorb the liquid even before it hit the floor. The vines holding her legs made them widen slightly to help their master enter her better.

Still no emotion showed on Plant Master's face as Rei's heaving breasts, trapped and bulging within her red bustier, touched his hairy chest. Her nipples poked against his skin and his bristly, curly hair poked between the threads of her bustier and pricked her sensitive melons.

It felt as if a fur rug was stroking her plumpness. Rei closed her eyes as she tried to fight of the pleasurable feelings coming from her breasts. Plant Master's only comment was to say, "I have not determined whether the offspring will be of such flesh that you will be required to nurse. You will do so if it is needed." By his calm tone, Rei knew she wouldn't have a choice in the matter.

With at least five inches to go, Plant Master pushed Rei back off him half the distance, then pulled her forward with a strength that Rei had little chance to resist, especially at the Curse stole the last vestiges of her Amazon power.

Rei gave a combination of a gasp and a whimper as he buried the last of his massiveness within her. He overflowed her sheath so much that his fat head poked past her cervix and lay within her womb. Beyond, lay a defenseless egg which was about to be raped by thousands of sperm. "Oh gods..." she pleaded, trying to hold back the pleasure that she didn't want to feel. "Help me...."

Plant Master's jaw jutted out as he started sawing his pole in and out of Rei. He seemed not to be doing it to get a rise out of her, or him really, but simply to finish this part of his job. Back and forth Rei swung in the binding vines, his rough cock plowing through her sheath and punching into her womb with long, slow thrusts that seemed to Rei to stretch up into her stomach.

She clenched her jaw as she tried not to feel the pleasure that he was causing her. Her eyes locked on his as she used his face as a way to motivate her inner self. He may have defeated her physically but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of making her orgasm. She could try to deny him that one victory. It wasn't easy though. His cock felt so good in her...

Wedging the thick log inside her Plant Master ravished the young Asian Amazon as he fought to bring himself off. Her breasts surged and struggled to seek release from the restrictive red bustier, but Plant Master ignored the two ready handholds beckoning to him as the bumped and compressed against his chest.

Rei tried not to moan as her over sensitive breasts rubbed against him hard furry chest. Her nipples bending as they compressed against. She felt so tired and just wanted to give in but she wouldn't let herself. She had been defeated too many times so far and needed a least a tiny victory.

"Nnghh.." he groaned as he shoved his woodmeat into Rei and left it buried in her womb. "Disgusting method..nggghhhhhhhh.." he groaned under his breath as the precum spurted into the superheroine's body. "DisgustinggggghhH!!"

"W...with...you i..it is!" she gasped, her pussy grabbing and throbbing around his cock. "You...should..go.copulate with a TREE!!!!"

Tilting his head back and arching his body, he forced his cock to drive the last inch into Ultra Woman as his cum rumbled out of his balls and exploded into the Amazon womb. His cock shivered and strained, enlarging her slit that much more as green cum filled her. It pumped into Rei relentlessly until it seeped out around his cock and ran in thick, viscous rivulets down the inside of her quivering, sweaty thighs.

Rei moaned loudly as she felt his hard jets fire deeply into vulnerable womb. Her pussy throbbing about his jerking cock as it fired. His cum was so hot and thick that she could actually feel it pooling inside of her. Rei tried to somehow force it out of her but it wasn't possible. In an unknown period of time, her egg would be running into an ambush.

She leaned her head forward and rested it on his chest as she panted loudly. Her body filled with unfulfilled pleasure. At least she had one a tiny little victory against him. It wasn't much but it did help her moral ever so slightly.

With an audible 'pop', Plant Master pulled his log out of Rei and released her. The sagging superheroine swung back away from him in the vines, leaving a dotted trail of green cum on the floor.

She gasped as he slid out of her. A gush of fluid were released as he did so. A mixture of her juices and his cum made a small puddle on the floor. A vine quickly mopping up her juices. "I must analyze your fluids flesh as my plant seem to enjoy it. Perhaps your flesh might have uses besides being a vessel for the future," he said quietly. Rei ignored his words as she was attempting to control the pleasures within her body.

As Plant Master leaned down to pull up his pants over his deflating man(plant?)hood, the vines moved the captive Amazon towards the back of the greenhouse. Like interconnected cables she was easily passed from one to another, her arms and body released and various times as more vines grabbed her.

As much as she wanted to, Rei couldn't even summon the strength to lift a finger let alone attempt to escape. She knew it was impossible even for her to try. With her powers she thought she might be able to avoid the vines but with how smoothly and quickly they transferred her, there was no chance.

The vines easily controlled the Curse-weakened Amazon as Ultra Woman was passed from the center of the room to the back. As she floated over the tables, pots, plants, beakers, and other items of Plant Master's villainy, Rei was kept under wraps.

From the number of vines around her, Rei didn't know if it was feared that she might escape or just that they didn't want her to drop on the floor. She suspected the latter since she was 'valuable' to the Plant Master.

Finally she was brought to a sagging stop. Her costume hung heavily upon her as her outfit was damp with sweat, and her boots had the added fluids of Plant Master's seeping cum along the insides.

"Do I ever want... No, NEED a bath," she thought absently. "I feel absolutely icky." She slowly moved her head buy couldn't generate the force required to pull the sweat plastered hair from her face. "I wonder if I should cut my hair as it can be a pain sometimes..."

Below her was a large, bulbous plant, easily eight feet in diameter. It was shaped somewhat like an onion, with all its large frondy leaves coming to a point at the top.

Barely able to see over her gasping breasts, Rei leaned forward, her damp hair sticking to her face and breasts as she tried to look at the plant.

"Now what?" she wondered. "It can't get any worse then it already is!" Actually, it could...

As she watched, a drop of green cum dripped from the toe of her boot and onto the plant. Instantly the leaves opened in a long, slow motion, revealing the insides of the plant.

While this was happening, several vines reached down and began to poke slightly at her her uniform. They caused Rei to moan every time they pressed the satin against her sensitive skin. Suddenly, two of them found the tiny, hidden zipper in the back. Fumbling, they were able to pull it down to the base of the gold belt. Another pulled at the back of the golden belt and caused the latch to open after several hard tug. The vines lifted the uniform away while others pulled the sodden boots off. Finally, Re was naked in the humid air of the greenhouse but for her bracelets and tiara. For some reason, the vines ignored those.

A long stamen, dark green with light green veins, rose up from the center of a bulbous base. Thick green bulbs oozed and rolled under a thin membrane. The leaves themselves were thick with large, soft cells that seems to undulate.

She saw that most of the inside of the plant was empty except for a sheen of rose colored liquid. The odor floated up and enveloped her. The smell was indescribable. Like all the flowers in the world combined into one scent. Rei couldn't help but to breath it in. As she did so, her mind began to become a muddled mass of clay again. "Can't think..." she moaned. Her head nodded slightly but she picked it up and looked down again.

As Rei watched, her arms were pulled back behind her, and her hips again raised and angled. The central stamen rose upwards towards her, centering between her green-coated thighs.

"Not again..." she thought dejectedly. Her mind awash in thoughts of fighting or just giving in or of nothing at all. Her toned muscles were slack and pliable. She had never felt so defeated or tired. All Rei wanted to do was for this to be over with...

The stamen undulated higher as Rei was lowered to meet it. With a wet, squishing sound it pushed between her lips and easily parted her. In two seconds, where before it would have been a challenge for something so thick, the stamen plunged its way up into the exhausted heroine until the rounded end reached her womb. It wiggled deep within her belly as she was lowered until her bare feet were just above the bulbous surface of the bottom of the plant.

Rei closed her eyes and moaned deeply as she was penetrated yet again. Its movements sending pleasurable chills up her spine to her befuddled brain. Her toes stretched down and were able to feel the surface of the plant below her. It was a warm, soft slickness to it and she could feel and low throbbing from her. When she opened her eyes again, she could see Plant Master watch the scene intently.

Soft scents bombarded Ultra Woman's mind, making her dizzy and confused. The stamen undulated at a slow, steady pace inside Rei, widening her vaginal tract as the bumps under the bottom membrane flowed and shimmied. Finally one of the large bulbs moved under the base of the stamen. As the heroine's drooping, violet eyes watched, the bulb began to ascend into the stamen and towards her.

Rei moved her head in circles as she tried not to drift off to sleep. The sensations and the scents felt so wonderful to her exhausted mind. "Wonder if I can play with that ball..." she sighed in a child like voice as she saw the bulb coming towards her.

It was as large as a baseball and rounded at the ends like a rugby ball. It was simply enormous to Ultra Woman as it rose towards her defeated, wet, oversensitive body. The pungent aroma of the plant kept her from realizing what was happening until the bulb was halfway to her defenseless, penetrated womb.

Something finally clicked within her mind as she realized that the bulb was traveling up the stamen and the stamen was in her! The part that finally figured it out attempted to warn the rest of the mind so that some action could be taken. It wasn't easy though as so much of her just wanted to ignore everything and ride the waves of ecstasy she felt.

Higher it went as the Amazon futilely struggled to bring herself to life. Her mind was weighed down into lethargy by the aphrodisiacs of the plant, and her body was ravaged and ravished by the Curse and vines. Helplessly she watched in her mental fog as the thick bulb rose higher along the upper half of the stamen. As it moved, the veins on the stamen bulged frighteningly, then retracted as the huge thing came closer.

The stamen vibrated from the movement of the bulbs as it traveled through it. The vibrations caused shivers of excitement within Rei and caused more of her juices to flow down the stamen.

"The egg will germinate well inside your body, flesh. You will be the mother of a new race that encompasses all the greatness of two kingdoms," Plant Master said matter-of-factly as he watched his plant's egg reach the superheroine.

Rei looked at her tormentor with eyes that showed that she barely comprehended the words. Her mind was being pulled in so many directions at once that she barely understood what he was saying.

Rei felt the egg press against her lips, knowing there was no way this thing could ever get inside her without killing her. The stamen undulated again, sending unimagined pleasures throughout Ultra Woman's body. The rounded egg began to push, forcing her vagina to stretch around it, just as it had forced the stamen to do. Her body shrieked with pain and pleasure as the plant egg, through brute power, pushed her open and slowly disappeared within her.

Rei threw her head back and gave a scream that almost seemed like it could shatter the glass of the greenhouse. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" she screamed. It almost felt like she was giving birth but in reverse. If not for the fact that her vagina had been so relaxed and so lubricated by all that she had been through, Rei would have been seriously injured. Within long seconds, the egg had passed fully her vagina and paused.

She panted hard as her tear filled eyes looked at the Plant Master as if pleading for him to stop. The stamen shudder slightly as it gathered strength for the final action: insertion. Rei screamed again, even louder, as the egg pressed against her tender cervix and kept going. With a gush of green liquid, the deed was done and the egg was within her womb.

The pain vanished to a dull ache which slowly began to fade. Rei collapsed backwards in the embrace of the vines, he trim stomach now bulging with the egg...

As the exhausted Amazon slumped down in the bowels of the plant, the stamen remained inside her abused body, sending fresh nutrients to the new embryo trapped under her belly. The bulbous base of the interior of the plant shimmied and moved until tiny tendrils of great strength oozed out, wrapping around her bracelet wrists, then her bare ankles, effectively holding her in place. The stamen lifted the superheroine up until she slumped almost standing up.

"So tired......" was the only thing Rei's equally exhausted mind could think. Every time she blinked, it took several second for her eye lids to open back up. She could her belly trembling as the egg started to do things that, at this point, she could have cared less about.

The long fronds rose back up and started to envelope Ultra Woman. The heroine, her head on her chest as her belly bulged from the plant egg, hung by the tendrils and the stamen that kept her transfixed. Like a flower closings its petals, the huge plant's long, narrow leaves rose off the floor. The moments seemed ages as the formerly perky Asian Amazon, dripping with sweat and green cum, could barely open her eyes much less resist the fate the Plant Master had in store for her.

The flowery odor increased as she became trapped within the leaves and quickly overcame the fallen heroine. Her eyes closed for a final time and she dropped into a deep, dreamless slumber.

"I will see my child in only a few weeks," the Plant Master said to no one particular as the Amazon heroine disappeared inside the leaves of the plant...

---

Days passed...

The birthing plant held its captive, the heroine Ultra Woman, trapped within its fronds as the aphrodisiac kept her mind in an induced fog of semi-consciousness that left the heroine's mind little more than centered around the stamen that kept her vagina penetrated. Nutrients flowed through the stamen and into Ultra Woman's womb ever twelve hours. As each feeding the stamen would enlarge and gyrate slowly, bringing the entrapped Amazon heroine to a gradually overwhelming orgasm that would shatter any thoughts of resistance as the Curse would steal her powers and leave her again a limp, voluptuous doll inside the fog of odors and warmth of an incubator.

Ultra Woman had no idea of how long she was in the plant; time had a way of melding into the fog she lived in. Daily the plant embryo inside her womb would get a feeding, causing the plant to vibrate and shake as the weak heroine within came with an ear-shattering scream of a climax. The plant's feeding done as her sex clamped down on the stamen only trapped the nutrient fluids in her womb, nourishing the growing embryo.

After the embryo had been fed and she had calmed down from the orgasm, a tendril would appear at her lips. It would gush liquid nutrients that kept the heroine's body nourished and hydrated. Not for her sake of course, but for the embryo's. If Rei's body failed then it would endanger the embryo.

And the days passed...

Faint light, bathed in green from the dark stained glass of the greenhouse, washed down on the naked Ultra Woman as her violet eyes blinked into the world of the conscious. Her muscles were like jello as she first tried to get to her feet only to stumble forward over the wide open fronds of the plant. The tendrils around her arms and feet were gone. As she wiped the plant slime from her face her other hand went to her sex. The stamen was gone, but then she noticed something else...

Rei slowly moved her head and eyes downward to see what it was her hand was resting on. As her blurry vision cleared slightly, she saw that her breasts seemed to be larger and plumper then before. From between the cleavage, she could see that her hand rested upon her belly. A belly that was a least twice as big as before. As her horrified eyes took the sight in, she felt something within it kick strongly at her hand. Rei did what just about anyone might do in a similar situation: screamed her head off.

Soon she ran out of breath to scream and just laid back on the massive petal. Her head and long hair still within the plant and laying in the gooey liquid. Her braceleted hands cupping her huge belly as she silently sobbed how defeated she had become.

Suddenly cold water was sprayed over the sobbing heroine. The sudden chill nearly took her breath away as Plant Master hosed off the pregnant heroine. The water hit her strongly, but not hard enough to hurt her, or the embryo within her. The slime from the interior of the plant was slowly washed away from her as Rei writhed under the cold spray.

She squealed as the water hit her. The cold an incredible shock to her system. Rei tried to roll over but found that she couldn't because the belly got in her way. She couldn't fight it so she just tried to crawl away somehow.

Her movements were slowed by both the Curse still affecting her and the embryo and her own growing belly that seemed to absorb so much of her energy. The water followed her, hosing her down from her wet, tangled hair to her bare feet, washing away the slime and green cum that still stained her overly voluptuous body. The Plant Master cleaned the pregnant Amazon completely as he walked closer to her to intensify the hosing on the harder to wash stains.

"Stop it!" Rei cried as she tried to curl up into a ball so as to try and avoid the water. "Please!" To her the simple washing was a torture by a cruel and sadistic person.

With his pregnant captive cleaned, he turned off the hose, turned, and wound it up as he walked towards a table. He seemed to ignore Rei as she lay gasping from the chilling cold water. In his usual, plodding way the Plant Master placed the hose on a shelf, then turned to look over his dripping captive. "Get up, flesh, your body requires sustenance and proteins," he said as he walked toward the door of the greenhouse.

In a moment he was gone, leaving the naked, pregnant heroine alone in the greenhouse. Plants covered the ceiling and walls, with tables dotted with potted plants and tools for gardening.

Rei ever so slowly got to her knees. The cold water at least helping to clear her mind of the fog she had been in. She just sat there for several minutes as gathered her strength and remembered what had happened to her. "Courage...." she whispered as she wiped a stray tear away from her cheek.

As she stood up, her unused muscles protested but she got to her feet. Rei stumbled toward the door Plant Master had gone through. Her steps more like shuffles as it was so hard to lift her feet to take each step. Her sense of balance was way off from her enlarged breasts and stomach. She grabbed tables and supports in order not to fall over many times. It took many minutes to cover the short distance but eventually she arrived at the door.

As Ultra Woman got closer to the doors, the vines in the ceiling lowered menacingly. As she got to the closed door, a vine wrapped around her neck as two more grabbed at her wrists. Slowed by the Curse and her condition, Rei was easily snatched up and dragged back from the door. The vines were more gentle with her now than before, but they were relentlessly powerful.

"I guess they don't want me to leave..." she thought as she lightly tugged on the vines. Not so much to escape, as she knew she couldn't, but mostly to keep her balance and avoid falling to the floor.

She was pulled into the back of the room and deposited on the floor. The vines retracted into the ceiling, but Rei knew she had no chance of getting past the vines that infested the room. Even the greenhouse window panes were thick, and as she touched them she knew, at her present strength, they would be impossible for her to shatter.

Rei leaned back against a pane and tried to bring her knees up so she could rest her chin on them. It was her favorite thinking position. She found she couldn't because the stomach got in the way. "Gods...." she thought herself as she pulled the tiara from her head and tossed it on the remains of her uniform. "For me to be this big, I must have been in that plant for months!" she gently rubbed the swollen flesh and felt a series of kicks. "Active little girl I must say but I don't care for who the father is."

The door opened, and Plant Master walked back in carrying a tray. He set it down on a bench near Ultra Woman, revealing food and a glass of water. "Eat flesh, and you will survive. Refuse and you will be cut open so that the prodigy will live."

From what he had done to her already, Rei knew that he was serious. This 'prodigy' of his was more important then preserving human life and besides, she was starving.

The tray contained nuts, berries, and slices of fruit. The Plant Master stepped back. "You may ask questions, flesh, if you wish. If not, I have work."

Rei knelt and began to gobble the offered food down without regard to manners. Stuffing pieces into her mouth almost before the previous mouthful had been swallowed. Quickly, the tray was cleared and she back cross-legged on the floor. Her stomach nearly resting on her knees and her swollen, but still firm breasts, rested on it. "Thank you for the food," she said with a hint of burp.

His expression did not flicker an iota, and not a word was said. Blandly he watched the heroine eat.

"What are your intentions for me after you have this child? After I give 'birth' to it, I won't be of use to you so do you intend to release me?" She didn't expect he would but it didn't hurt to ask. "Also what are you plans for her and why did you need me to do it? Surely with your skills, you could have found some sort of artificial means for gestation."

"When you have produced the child, you will remain here until the prodigy can consume nourishment on his own," he said as his coarse hands rubbed a leaf that has started to turn brown.

"So that means you will release me once this is accomplished?"

The only answer the odd man gave was silence...

"I think he just answered my question," she thought. "He doesn't intend to allow me to leave after this over. I wouldn't be surprised if he wouldn't have me bear another of these things!" Rei kept her realizations to herself though so as not to let on what she was thinking.

"I have attempted independent gestation with two other Amazons. They were both barren so other means were needed. The first Amazon escaped after her transformation was complete, but it was going to be a failure in any case I later discovered."

Rei closed her eyes and shook her head that other of her sisters had to experience what she had been through so far.

As he rubbed the leaf, the greenness slowly returned. "The second attempt was even less constructive. I obtained a mindless Amazon, and tried to use her womb for gestation, but without her own DNA in the embryo her body was torn to pieces." He said all of this as if were nothing more exciting than the weather report. "I even attempted to feed her to a plant that could produce the embryo, but her DNA was simply destroyed in the process, no matter what I tried."

Her hand flew to her mouth in horror as he calmly described what he had done. It took her several seconds before she was able to trust her voice with a question." What...what did this Amazon look like? Did she have a name that you knew?" Rei suspected that it was once of her predecessors. Both Atalanta and Tania had vanished without significant clues as to what happened. "I swear by all that's holy," Rei thought as she kept her face calm. "I shall have vengeance for my sister..."

The Plant Master reflected none of Rei's shock, only scientific, numb calmness. "Her name was unimportant, just as yours is unimportant. She was large for her sex and species, with pale hair."

"Atalanta..." she thought sadly. "At least we now know what happened to you sister and that you are at peace."

Rei absently rubbed a thigh as she shifted on the rough brick floor. "Since I can see you won't let me leave, is there someplace I can be other the floor? Its quite uncomfortable. That reminds me... Just how much longer will I have to carry her? Since I must be at 8 months or so, it shouldn't be too much longer, right?"

He seemed to ponder what Rei was telling him. He looked at the hard brick flooring, then at her swelled belly. "I will bring you a mattress and pillow," he announced. "As for the birth date, it should be in three days. You have germinated for thirty-five days, but you had to be brought out of the germinating plant to cycle through the regular birthing process of your species."

Rei's eyes widen at the number of days. "But that's not poss...." she said trailing off. "You used some sort of accelerated growth factor, didn't you?" she asked him after thinking for a few seconds. "I compliment in your research as I would have thought such a rate not possible without harm."

The Plant Master picked small, green berries from a potted plant and placed them on Rei's plate. "There is no harm, that's true, but it took many efforts and much wasted material to find the proper vehicle. Only your Amazon subspecies could withstand the implantation of the final seed, all others of your species were torn apart."

"'No harm' he says..." she muttered softly, remembering her implantation with a shudder.

"Would it be possible for me to study information on some of work? Especially of the off spring within me? Since I am the 'mother', I am curious to know." Curious she was, but not for the reasons given. Rei wanted to know so that she could destroy this thing when possible. "Besides, I shall be here with nothing to do and my mother always said I'm dangerous when bored."

"You are only here to give birth and nurture my prodigy. You'll do nothing else, and think of nothing else." His ponderous gaze turned from his plants to Rei. "If you are dangerous, you'll be placed back within the gestation plant, with the nutrient stamen reinserted, and I'll cut open your womb to birth the prodigy, and risk the nurturing."

"Understood," she said softly, knowing any defiance on her part would be a mistake. He could and most certainly would, do what he threatened so the only option for Rei was compliance. At least for now...

"May I have your leave to at least walk around within here?" Rei asked. "It would help the process if I was able to get some sort of exercise. I have been coped up for a month in your plant and if I'm more ready, the birthing process could be easier." She held out a braceleted hand to him for assistance in getting up. "Your vines with make sure I don't escape."

Plant Master turned back to his potted plants, healing them with a touch. "You may move anywhere but close to the door. I know your species requires motion for exercise. If you move to the door, you will be punished."

"Your vines already convinced me that would be a mistake so I shan't try it again," she said as she watched his remarkable healing power. "At least not at this moment in time," Rei thought to herself.

He looked at the outstretched hand out of the corner of his eye, but didn't move. "If you seek exercise, my assistance would inhibit that undertaking. Your species makes no sense to me," he said, almost shaking his head as he looked back at his plant, cooing and massaging a bent leaf until the injured part became whole again.

"Its called 'good manners'," Rei muttered as she looked for something to grab on to. The bulk of her stomach making quite difficult to get to her feet.

As Ultra Woman got to her feet with the aid of a nearby table, she saw her shiny red, gold, and blue costume sitting in a corner, minus her magic rope. It was in a bundle, the ends of the torn blue satin still stained with green. It apparently had been kicked in the corner with the rest of the garbage, as it was piled around empty burlap sacks, a broken shovel handle, small bent tools, discarding fertilizer bags, and other debris from the greenhouse.

Rei slowly made her way over to the pile, her steps becoming surer as she got use to her new bulk. She picked up the uniform and boot while making sure as not to notice any other items within the pile. "Not much I could use there..." she as she made her way mossy patch of within the greenhouse. "Although the fertilizer might be of use as it can be made into an explosive. Not an easy task under these conditions but something to keep in mind." As Rei look at the inviting green spot, she asked Plant Master, "May I have you permission to sit there?" Nodding towards the green.

Plant Master glanced in the direction Rei pointed, then nodded and turned back to his plants.

After sitting with a bit of strain, Rei brushed the dirt from her uniform as best as possible. Then folding it neatly, she set it aside. Rei sat there with her eyes closed, legs crossed beneath her, and her hands on her knees. She tried to empty her mind of thought and to work out a strategy to escape this place...

The Plant Master worked on his plants for a few more minutes, then looked up at the door abruptly. With nary a glance at Rei, he hustled out the door.

Alone in the room with only the hundreds of vines draped over the ceiling and the huge gestation pod in the corner, Rei could feel the baby within her kick..

Days passed for Rei. The Plant Master fed her well, including meat which might have been surprising considered his forte. Three times a day with simple regularity the villain would bring her a plate of food, and maintained a separate water source for her. Every day she could sense the creature within her growing, at times kicking, inside her body.

When not eating or sleeping, Rei spent the time meditating or exercising. Her attempts of conversation with Plant Master were all rudely rebuffed. She was pleased to note that her formally slack muscles were in much better shape then before. Rei was still naked but for her bracelets as her uniform was in tatters and would never have fit in any case. Her nudity didn't bother her as she considered it a fact of life. Back home, clothes were a decoration rather then a necessity.

Only the meals and her own internal clock gave Rei any sense of time. From the meals and her sleep periods, at least six days had gone by as she sat in the corner feeling the child inside her kicking. It wasn't so much painful as it was an unbelievably odd feeling.

Even though Plant Master and his vines had not molested her again Rei still didn't regain very much of her Amazon strength. She was stronger then she had been days ago but it seemed to have leveled off at about the level of a normal woman. Rei assumed it was due to child draining her strength as it grew. She hadn't tried to escape in the days she had been here. She knew any such efforts would be futile at best and life threatening at worst. Rei did watch and study everything in an effort to find an eventual escape route.

The oddest thing was that this was different than what had happened to her Amazon sisters. Every one that came back to the island after mating spoke of the blissful mating process, the terrifying weakness that came next, and the recovery. As they grew more pregnant, they always kept a degree of their Amazon strength, diluted only by pregnancy like any other female nurturing a life within her. She had seen this process with her very eyes, how her pregnant sisters, even on the verge of giving birth to their daughters, still had the great strength of an Amazon. But Rei felt as weak as a kitten, at least compared to her normal strength.

Rei wondered if the difference was due to that fact that she had been impregnated against her will. It was possible that she was experiencing a form of the Curse that had never been seen before. Or seen, but never admitted too. Her only other theory was that the extreme growth of the child was causing her body to divert her strength into caring for it. The fact that she had gotten at least some of her powers back gave Rei hope that the rest would eventually return.

This day, and Rei knew it was day from the slightly increased light that filtered into the greenhouse through the thick vines, started differently. Plant Master brought her food, but it was sparse. Instead of tending his plants, the villain stood behind Rei on the other side of a table and simply stared at her. He would pace to one side, at an backside angle to the Amazon, and stare, then walk to the other angle.

"What is he up to now..." Rei thought as she forked a piece of lettuce into her mouth. She had admitted to herself that he did grow some excellent vegetables.

It was eerie, and as Rei felt a kick in her belly, the Plant Master ended his study of the eating, pregnant heroine to walk over to the strange pod that had held Rei unconscious and germinating for those many days.

"Now it is time, my child," she heard him say softly to the huge plant. "He is ready."

Rei stopped chewing and lifting her head in response to his words. "Uh oh...." she mumbled through the food. Slowly she turned to face him, swallowing as she did. "I take it I'm to give birth now?" she asked.

The Plant Master ignored Rei as he continued to preen and pet the huge plant. "Yes, child, soon you will be the vessel through which my progeny will enter this world. The intelligence of humans and the power of plant will join in my son, and he will bring the world to the next level of progress. This is the genesis!" he exclaimed as he stood up until his fist was raised to the sky, his voice raising for the first time in Rei's presence.

"He is totally insane..." Rei thought to herself. "If I am to bear this...thing then I must try destroy it or at least take it from him.Evil such as his must be deny any sort of power."

The Plant Master turned to Rei, as if just remembering she was in the room. "Come here, flesh, it is time for your destiny. You are the mother of the progeny, the Eve just as I am Adam. I have given you a gift and you will respond by birthing the future. It is an honor I am sure you cannot fathom."

"You got that right," she whispered softly, not rising from her chair as she watched him. Silence filled the greenhouse as Rei defied Plant Master's order. She only rose from her seat when she felt a vine slithering over her back. "All right," she said. "You don't need your cursed creatures. I'll come willingly."

The vine retracted back up towards the ceiling as Rei rose to her bare feet, but it didn't entirely return. Three hovered over Rei as if watching her closely in their eyeless fashion.

The broad, high leaves of the plant opened, rolling back until the stamen within came into view. "Step inside. It will be painless, and you will live, I promise you that. After the birth you will be needed."

"As painless as when you inseminated me?" Rei as sarcastically as she stood next to him, looking into the plant. "And what further need will you have of me after this?" Rei turned her gaze to the windows before her and saw the reflection of herself. "Will you let me go if I do this?"

Turning to Rei, the Plant Master looked down at her swollen breasts. "You will need to share your flesh with the progeny. You will remain here until the progeny no longer needs you. When that comes, he will decide your fate, not I. He is the next leap in Darwin's chain, and I am the creator."

Seeing where his eyes rested, Rei nodded in understanding. "You need me to nurse him for a time until he is independent. I expect that could be quite quick judging from the growth rate so far. Although you might slow it down once he is born as it could cause some damage.

He gestured ponderously towards the open plant. "Get in, flesh, it will be over quickly, and you will be given time to recover afterwards. I warn you not to make this difficult, or you will feed my plants after I pull the progeny directly out of your womb," he said, for the first time actually resorting to direct threats. It was obvious that Plant Master was under some stress and strain. "You will survive, my research of your Amazon race convinces me of this, otherwise I would not have accepted your flesh to carry the progeny."

"You need not remind me as I know you are more then capable of such things," Rei said as she stepped into the plant that had held her for weeks. Her feet sinking slightly into the soft, moist surface. "Has your research also shown you that there has never been a son born to an Amazon? Your results might not be what you expect as that is a factor. There are more to us then just flesh," Rei said as she stood in the middle of the plant. Casually tossing a lock of hair from her face.

"That possibility has come to my mind, but I will feel that flesh is flesh, and you will give birth to healthy male progeny without risk to yourself or the progeny. He will be the ultimate in evolution, the crossing of the finest of female flesh and the greatest power on the earth, the power of the plant world."

"At least you recognize that Amazons are superior in terms of physical attributes. That puts you one up on most in this world," Rei said as she moved a foot back and forth on the slick surface. Enjoying the odd sensation she felt. "What do you have planned for 'our' child? The usual dream of evil doers: world domination?"

As she listened, Rei noticed a sweet smell in the air wafting from the open plant. She instantly recognized it for the sweet aroma that had so fogged her mind during her impregnation. As she listened to Plant Master's dark, grumbling words, she felt her body reacting. Her nipples hardened, her mind began to swim, and her sex grew achy as her body moaned for a touch.

Rei struggled again to keep her mind focused on what was happening. As this was not a new experience like before, she was able to to shift some of her reasoning away from the pleasure. "Must...Concentrate..." she muttered through gritted teeth.

Suddenly, the child within her belly began to struggle as if he was trying to tear through her flesh. Rei gasped loudly and fell to her knee, hands holding her swollen belly. The aroma helped to deaden the pain but it still HURT. Rei's mind was awash in a combination of pleasure and pain.

The stamen rose up like a snake as Ultra Woman fell to her knees in the midst of the upcoming birth. The stamen wiggled and moved, waiting...

"It hurts...." Rei whimpered softly, struggling to lift her head up. She had never experienced such pain as she felt right now. "You said it wouldn't!"

Suddenly it lurched forward as Rei arched her head up to look one more time at the Plant Master standing over her. As she did, a wave of pain passed through her, making her gasp. As her lip opened, the stamen struck, driving into her open mouth and slithering down her throat. Instantly from its tip it gushed a sickly sweet liquid.

Rei had no choice but to swallow as the liquid gushed into her stomach. The fumes drifted into her nasal passages and immediately began to affect her mind. She could tell this was much different then the other liquid. That one caused sexual stimulation while this was more of an anesthetic. Plant Master was keeping his promise of it being painless to her. At least for now...

The wide leaves began to roll back up to encase the Amazon within them as the chemical pumped into Rei's stomach took effect. The labor pains continued, but weakened each time. The stamen in her mouth pushed Rei's head back, allowing it to wriggle deeper down her throat and force more of the plantish anesthetic into her.

Rei didn't attempt to fight the effects. On the contrary, she welcomed them. Anything to release her from the unbearable tearing and kicking she was feeling now. The pain was nothing like anything her sisters had told her giving birth was like. This was sheer torture.

Darkness, by-product of the stamen's liquid and the leaves swallowing her up, surrounded Rei as her mind grew more and more foggy. Tiny vinelets inside the plant grabbed her around her bracelets and hands, pulling her down onto her back as the stamen forced the weakening, pregnant Amazon to go to sleep. As the tiny point of light at the top of the plant disappear upon the merging of the dozen long leaves, the helpless Ultra Woman was again encased inside the plant.

---

Violet eyes blinked back into life as Ultra Woman slowly fought off the grogginess that filled her mind. As she looked around and tried to focus on what was around her, she could tell she was bound, and from the feeling of the restraints, she was bound with ropes this time. Finally her eyes cleared enough to see around her as she weakly twisted in the ropes.

"Oh gods...." she thought tiredly as she tried to fit the pieces of her thoughts back together. "What happened..." Rei closed her eyes again and concentrated on what had happened. Her last thoughts were of being in unbelievable agony that had faded to blackness. "The child..." she whispered as her eyes flew open and took in a clearer view of her surroundings.

She was dangling in the air, hanging from some kind of hoist in the middle of the greenhouse. She was parallel to the floor and facing it, her pendulous and still pregnancy-inflated breasts weaving and aching in the air. As she moved, a faint aching filled her loins. She didn't have to look, but instantly knew she was no longer pregnant; the child had passed from her. Looking around, the greenhouse wasn't any different except for a single item. The huge plant that had both impregnated her and swallowed her to take her child was lying on the floor, brown and lifeless.

"I wonder why he tied me with ropes instead of his cursed vines," she wondered as she tugged on them experimentally. She found that she still hadn't regained her Amazon strength yet as she couldn't break the ropes. "Hades..." she thought. "I can only pray it'll just take time for them to return. Have to use my mind rather then my strength to escape." Rei sighed and tried to relax within her bonds.

As the Asian Amazon hung in the tightly wrapped ropes that held her bound in the air by the hoist, her mind whirling with thoughts. She felt stronger than when she was pregnant, but that didn't mean her full strength was returning - if it ever even would. No Amazon, to her knowledge, had ever borne a male child.

"It's possible that I won't get my strength back," Rei thought as a chill went down her spine. "Perhaps that I did have a male child will cause the Curse to remain in effect forever!"

The door abruptly opened, and Plant Master entered, still wearing his odd overalls, looking more like an Amish farmer than a supervillain. In his hands he carried a small child, perhaps six months old. It was plainly oriental in origin, with dark strands of hair hanging around its head. The child wore a green blanket, but as Plant Master entered the greenhouse, he took away the blanket, leaving the child naked.

Rei saw what he held was stunned beyond belief. Part of her never really believed that she could be carrying a child. That it had to be some sort of trick. To see the living proof rocked her mind for several seconds. She quickly closed her eyes and regained control before opening them again. Rei knew that she had to stay calm and collected if she was to eventually get free.

Ultra Woman could see the child was a male from the tiny genitalia. He seemed so vulnerable, but the child couldn't have been hers, it was far too old.

Then she remember that Plant Master had caused the pregnancy to be speeded up so that she had come to term in less then a month. "Its possible he wants the child to grow quickly out of the infant stage," she thought. "With what he's shown so far, I wouldn't doubt that he would be able to do it.

Carrying the child with great care, Plant Master approached the controls for the hoist. Without so much as glancing at Rei, he hit the buttons that lowered her closer to the floor. She was about four feet from the floor when he stopped the machine, and finally turned to look at her. His eyes looked her over completely, then seemed to zero in on the burgeoning breasts that bobbed on Rei's chest.

Rei followed where his eyes rested and saw that they were on her enlarged breasts. For a moment, she wished she could have covered herself from that intense gaze of his.

Walking over towards her, Plant Master still carried the child gently in his large, calloused hands. With one hand he grabbed a section of the rope, and pivoted Rei until she was almost upright. He glanced back down at her oversized mammaries with some satisfaction on his face. "Time to feed the progeny, flesh."

It took a second for her to realize what he meant. Rei was about to protest but didn't as she knew it would have been a wasted effort. With her weakened and bound state, she was in no position to protest. Beside, if he was going to use her like a 'cow', he still had some use for her rather then feed her to his plants.

Without ado, he placed the baby boy up to Rei's breast. The baby opened his mouth and sucked the breast inside his tiny mouth. His few teeth dug into the sensitive flesh as it suckled on her nipple. With a strange lurch that echoed throughout Rei's formerly pristine body, her breast shimmied, then spurted forth milk.

She gasped from his bite and from feeling the milk begin to flow. Normally such actions would have cause erotic sensations within her but not this time. Rei felt...different as her son suckled her milk. Almost maternal in a way. The young Amazon looked down upon her child. The first male ever born to an Amazon in...well a VERY long time if ever. "I can not destroy him," she thought as she felt his little hands begin to rub and squeeze her fat breast. "I know I should destroy this...abomination but I can't. He is my child." Rei made the decision that when she escaped, she would take him with her. "He must at least be given a chance to grow up to become a good person."

Rei lifted her head to look into Plant Master's eyes. "Will you untie me so that I might hold the child as a mother should? It is said that a mother's touch can help a baby very much to calm them. I swear as the Amazon champion that I won't harm him in anyway. If you know my sisters, you know we keep our word no matter what."

Plant Master, with his usual eloquence, said absolutely nothing in reply. He watched the baby suckled on the captive Amazon's breast with subdued satisfaction. He held the child carefully, making sure it stayed close to Rei's burgeoning breast.

Somehow, she really didn't think he would have responded. At least not now. "It wouldn't surprise me that he does allow me to hold him later on," she thought. "Properly surrounded by his vines of course."

Ignoring Ultra Woman, he just stood there, watching the baby feed for what seemed like an eternity. The baby bit and nibbled on the sensitive nipple as he drank down the Amazonian milk.

Eventually, the milk from that breast began to slow to a stop. Even Amazon breasts have their limits. The child began to give the sort of cry that any parent knows if from a hungry child. Rei was about to say something when Plant Master placed the boy on her other breast. She gasped again as her tugged on her nipple until the milk began to flow.

Again, the greenhouse had but one sound: the sound of an infant nursing on his mother's breast. Finally the boy let the hard point go and gave a satisfied burp. "Have enough small one?" Rei asked her child kindly. She was rewarded with her son looking up at her mother. She smiled when she saw that he had violet eyes like her own.

The child smiled back, but he was quickly pulled away by the Plant Master. The little baby boy murmured some gibberish, but he quickly settled against the Plant Master's broad chest and buried his head in the madman's clothes.

Rei was a bit put off at that action but made no sign of it. She needed to stay on Plant Master's 'good side'.

Plant Master walked away from Rei, like anyone would walk away from a gasoline pump; with scant notice. He walked over a short, wide-leafed plant, and calmly set the child down on an outer leaf. Normally there would have been no way the broad leaf could have supported a child, but this one did, and it held the boy easily, letting him sink down into it a slight bit to help hold him steady.

She stared at the action for a moment. "He's going to do it?" she thought. Not surprised anymore at the actions of the plants in this place. If there could be ones that could act as an incubator, this was nothing.

Turning around, Plant Master approached Rei. "You will have two hours, and no more. Once the dawn arrives, we will leave." He lowered the hoist to the floor, letting Rei lie flat on her stomach for a few minutes as he slowly unbound the ropes that trapped her.

"Thank you", Rei said sincerely. "I know you won't say but what are you going to do with him next?"

"He will begin the lessons that will bring him and his legacy to fruition," the Plant Master said in his usual subdued tones. "He will learn the path to greatness, and begin a new era in the history of the universe."

"And this new era is suppose to include what?"

For the Plant Master, his voice was positively rhapsodic, even if dull and low by normal standards. "It will be the culmination of the evolution on earth. It will be the joining of the two kingdoms of God, the kingdoms of plant and animal. In one being will be both cycles of life, both the creation of oxygen and the use of oxygen. The compliments will conjoin."

"He's mad...." she thought simply to herself.

He was slow, but finally he pulled the last rope from around Rei's wrists, releasing her completely. He stood back, looked at the child, then again at Rei. "You have until the dawn. An attempt to harm the child or to escape will be severely punished."

Rei sat up, rubbing her wrists and legs where the rope had rubbed. "I promised you that I would not harm him. I am also intelligent enough to know that I am in no shape to attempt an escape."

His threat reinforced by the vines that hovered on the ceiling over the baby, he turned and walked out the door, leaving Rei along with...her child.

She gingerly, because her body still ached, went over to him and knelt down. "Hello small one," Rei said in a soft voice, taking one of the child's hands in her own. "I'm Rei...: She looked into the boy's eyes. "I'm your mother."

The small child looked up at Rei with his own set of violet eyes. A tiny hand reached up until it grabbed Rei's thumb in its weak embrace. His body was soft, his skin smooth to the touch. He still had much of his baby fat, but for a child she had given birth to only recently, he had grown tremendously.

Rei also noticed that they way his eyes looked at things was different from how she had seen babies look at things. These were eyes who actually looked at things rather then just wandering around its field of vision. It made her uneasy for a moment but she quickly dismissed that thought.

The baby smiled with his eyes wide as he gazed up at the heroine holding him. One hand released her thumb as it tapped her dripping nipple curiously. Taking a drop of the milk on his finger, he promptly put the finger in his mouth and suckled it.

His mother gasped slightly as her nipples were still quite sensitive. Rei just assumed that he was still hungry. "Sorry little one but you'll have to wait for a bit before I can nurse you again."

The child suckled on his finger for about ten seconds, then pulled it out. He looked at the finger with evident curiosity, then looked up at his mother. Deeply he stared into the matching eyes, violet matching violet. It was almost mesmerizing the way the child gazed into Rei, seemingly into her very soul.

Even if she had wanted to, Rei couldn't have broken the stare. It was almost as if he was holding her head in place to maintain the look. She had never experienced such power before the likes that this child had.

Abruptly the pupil of his eyes changed. The violet suddenly was surrounding not a black pupil, but one of a deep, dark green, like that of a steaming jungle. A moment later the baby's mouth opened. In the flash of an eye, a thick, green tongue darted out. Upwards it slinked like a blur until the curled tip struck Rei directly between the eyes.

"What the?!" she gasped.

The tongue hit her as if she had been struck a mighty blow. A stunned feeling washed through her, but she felt no pain. Her head did not jerk back, but she was dazed as though hit hard. Unwilling to hurt her child, she could only stand and hold him.

The tongue stuck to her as if it had been glued on. She could feel its heat and a throbbing like sensation. Not painful but just very very odd!

It was numbing. Rei could see her entire life flashing before her eyes, but she could only stand there numbly. The tongue between her eyes made her entire body tingle. The baby rested in her arms comfortably as she cradled him.

Slowly, Rei fell to her knee while still holding her son. It felt like she was being forced to remember everything she ever learned, knew, or experienced all at once. Her mind was not her own as it seems to be a vast whirlpool draining away to some point. "Noooo....." she gasped as she closed her eyes and tried to regain control.

The child's eyes remained wide, and if anything, brighter. The violet irises were nearly gone, outshined by the inner green light that glowed forth from the baby's pupils. He watched his mother intently, unfazed by the moaning words escaping her open lips.

The present around her faded from view as Rei was forced to concentrate on what was going on inside her mind. It was as if her son had hacked his way in and was now in total control of her brain.

Her memories, her experiences, her lessons learned, her knowledge, everything was flashing across Rei's mind in a rush that was overwhelming. It was as if she was being forced to relive every moment of her life from her earliest childhood to this very moment. As each one zoomed before her mind's eye, it disappeared, leaving her feeling empty and devoid. It wasn't entirely gone, and some part of her realized that, but this child was surely revisiting her life, and filing it away for his own uses.

Rei knew that she wasn't forgetting anything but it felt that way. All these seldom recalled events coming to the forefront again to be suddenly shoved aside for something else. What little of her mind that she controlled realized that her son was taking a crash course at learning about life. Instead of years, he wanted it all in a few minutes!

Plant Master walked back in, and approached the dazed, staring heroine. Her violet eyes were also taking on a faint greenish hue, not nearly as bright as her child's eyes, but obviously affected by them. The supervillain took the child from the kneeling heroine's arms and cradled the baby gently.

His normally expressionless face changed slightly to one of pride as he watched what happened.

The tongue detached from Rei's forehead and receded into the baby's mouth like a recoiling serpent. The Plant Master looked down warmly at the baby, forgetting about the heroine as she fell to the floor numbly. As a speck of drool slipped out of the corner of her mouth, vines moved down towards her...

The suddenly stop to the control of her mind left Rei in a state of limbo. She shut down until her mind control somehow reorganize into a thinking unit again. With a moan, her eyes shut and she fell back into the embrace of the vines.

As Rei's cognizant abilities returned to her, she realized she was, yet again, bound tightly by the vines again. Still under the heavy green dome of the arboretum, Ultra Woman was lying on her back, with her arms bound over her head as the vines spiraled the length of her body, keeping her legs tightly bound as well. Rei was apparently lying on a conveyor from what she could see. Past her feet, about twenty feet away, was a large, square opening. Between herself and the opening to the huge machine beyond was a collection of dead brush scattered along the length of the conveyor.

Between herself and the end of the conveyor was the remnants of her uniform. Most of the blue panties were in shredded tatters, and the bustier wasn't much better. Her boots were in decent condition, and her tiara, belt, and lasso were apparently unhurt, other than tarnished and dirty.

"Wha..." Rei moaned as she tried to clear her pounding head. "Where am I?!" Instinctively she started to struggle and found that much of her strength had returned to her. The vines however where just as strong as before and she could barely even wiggle.

The conveyor was slowly moving towards the opening. Her head throbbed and her arms still felt heavy, but she could quickly estimate she would be in the opening in about twenty seconds. As the sounds of the brush being chopped into a fine mulch reached her, she knew those twenty seconds might be all she had left..

"Got to get free!!!" she gasped as she pulled an struggled even harder then before. She knew that if she didn't, what happened to the third Ultra Woman would happen to her as well.

Suddenly Rei realized that her tiara was laying on the bare toes of one of her feet, the only part of her legs free of the vines. She also could see where the control panel was for the mulcher. "Just one chance at this...." With a flick of her foot, the tiara went flying into the air. For a moment Rei thought it would arch past her. She lifted her head as much as she could....

"Success!!!" she gasped as the tiara landed on her face. Just as she heard a grinding sound as the first of her uniform began to get chewed, her head threw the tiara again. With a 'clang' it hit the off button for the mulcher. The belt made a few final jerks forward before all was still. Rei's toes were but a few seconds from getting chewed up!

The heroine laid back and gasped a sigh of relief while still in the grip of the greeny vines....

Moments later, as if timed, the living vines that held the heroine in place released her. She could do the math, and easily realized that by now her bare legs would have been deep in the thresher, which would have left her nearly gone, and the vines letting her continue on to her death. Her boot had been chewed up, and parts of it had already arrived on the other side, now a fine mulch of red and blue velvet.

"The vines must have the ability to be ordered to do something without Plant Master being around," she thought as she slowly began to sit up. "He must be gone or otherwise I'm sure they wouldn't have release me."

Up to the ceiling the vines retreated, as if Ultra Woman had been chewed up and spit out and the arboretum was now empty. Looking around, the heroine couldn't see a soul. The sun outside had apparently set, as the building was a dark place full of waving shadows. Rei could see only so far, but it was silent, and the only movement was that caused amongst the leaves by the huge fans that blew in fresh outside air.

Rei determined quickly that the time had finally come to escape. "I know I should do something for the child," she thought. "But I have a bad feeling about him... I think if I did have him with me, I would end up destroying him in the end. I don't know if I could do that..."

Shaking her head to rid herself of those thoughts, Rei slid off the belt and gathered the remains of her uniform. Including the mulch that was once her boot. The heroine carefully proceeded towards the direction she thought the was in. Always expecting to be attacked by something. Except for the soft rustle of her footstep, Rei heard nothing. Suddenly, as she pushed aside a large leaf of a plant there in front of her was a door. From the large metal one next it, she assumed that this was where she had come in.

"Appropriate I guess that I should leave the same way I came in," she whispered. As Rei reached for the handle to the door, she realized something. "Hmmm... Might not be the best thing to walk around outside naked." Holding the remains of her uniform, Rei crossed her braceleted wrists in front of her chest. In a brief, dazzling display of light, the uniform vanished and her naked skin was clothes in the dress she had been wearing before she had arrived. Rei quickly unbuttoned a few of the topmost buttons of the dress as it seemed much too tight. It exposed a generous amount of her much larger breasts then before.

---

An hour later, nearly exhausted after her run from the Arboretum downtown to the old dilapidated park in Reichsborough, Rei arrived outside the decrepit amphitheater that disguised Captain Liberty's home. She knew now she was finally safe, even if her constitution was still weak from her ordeal.

When she appeared in the control room, Captain Liberty demanded to know where she had been for the last month. Even though he hide it well, Rei could tell that he had been worried. At least a little bit. She told him the whole story of what had happened through mouthfuls of combat type rations Liberty had on hand. Captain Liberty didn't seemed surprised about Rei being molested by the vines but his eyes did widen a bit at the mentioning of the baby.

Captain Liberty indicated that he was going to go back to the Arboretum to check it and quickly made for his vehicle. Rei convinced him to take her along with. 'Convinced' him by threatening to rip his place apart with her bare hands if he didn't. The look in her eyes told him that she wasn't joking. With a slight scowl, which Rei thought was cute, he produced some clothing more appropriate for a heroine then the dress Rei was wearing.

Two hours later, wearing a feminine version of Captain Liberty's uniform under her belt, tiara, and bracelets to replace her shredded and mulched uniform, Rei and Liberty arrived at the Arboretum. What met their eyes was seven fire trucks, innumerable police vehicles, and a fire that reached into the sky.

"My gods...." she whispered.

"Officer," Liberty said to the first patrolman he found, and spoke in his most serious of voices. "Were there any survivors?"

Rei just looked at the fire.

The officer, after giving Captain Liberty's new 'sidekick' a sidelong glance, shook his head. "Nossir, weren't no one inside as far as we c'n tell."

Rei quickly pulled Captain Liberty out of earshot of the officer. "Brian," she said softly. "He's still out there with the child." Liberty nodded and said, "Plant Master found that you had escaped and left. The fire is to cover his tracks." The two turned back to look at the raging fire as Liberty gently placed a hand on Rei's shoulder. Both of them knowing that Plant Master's plan was still in motion. They would have to fight it another day..
