Chapter 45 by Gambio

What's next?

jumping the shark

The trio of de Sade, Kikki and Carol had moved deep underground. All the way to the dungeons of Ludo Manor.

Kikki hummed a happy tune as she skipped through the gloomy tunnels. “It’s a cute place, Auntie. But why are we going underground?”

“The water will reach us here the latest”, de Sade announced with an eerie calm that made Carol’s hair stand up.

“Hmm…”, the younger girl only cocked her head. “I guess…”

The dark and damp tunnel was mostly dry, the half imp had to admit. But this would not remain the case for long.

Kikki whirled herself around and started walking backwards. “Saaay Auntie, can I ask you something?”

“You may.”

“What exactly are you?”

Carol let out a silent gasp but quickly collected herself.

“You’re not human, right?”, Kikki continued.

…

“Neither are you”, de Sade responded coolly. “Not many contestants who enter this show can boast to remain human.”

Kikki responded with an exaggerated pout. “I’m talking about before the show, Auntie! You already told Big Sis Carol, so I wanna know too!”

…

The half imp responded to the silence with a grin. “I don’t think it’s something silly like you’re an alien. Whatever you are is crazy enough for Big Sis to become completely devoted to you. And you have the ability to back up your claim.”

“What of it?”

The half imp grinned and wiggled her ears in excitement. “Show me. I wanna see what tricks you can do.”

“H-hey”, Carol felt the need to interject. “You are very rude! You should consider your words more…”

“Silence.”

Carol immediately shut her mouth while de Sade’s purple eyes regarded the girl in front of her. “The time is not right. Perhaps I will reward you later with a glimpse beyond the veil. Once you have proven that you are worthy of my grace.”

“Your grace?”, the younger girl cocked her head in confusion.

“My mistress is offering you a chance to prove your loyalty and earn the right to a seat in her harem”, Carol elaborated. As of now three of the four spots are yet to be decided."

“Heeeh? Who’s the lucky winner?”

Before Carol could even respond Kikki gasped and slapped herself at the forehead. “Oh! It’s you, of course, Big Sis.”

Kikki’s smile grew ever so slightly wider.

"Isn't it?"

…

The water was rising at an agonizingly slow pace.

Megan Watson was near hyperventilating. Too scared to leave the room all she could do was tread water watching the ceiling come closer and closer.

Too much time had passed. The doctor had either abandoned her or was ****.

Getting out would be easier. Faster. But the fear was too strong.

She wished she could lose consciousness again. Suffer a heart attack. Anything to deliver her from this ****. But in a cruel twist of fate her fear insisted on keeping her alive until the very end.

As the water reached her head all she could hope for was that it would be over soon.

…

“This is...an arena?”Carol gasped, her voice unable to hide her awe at the majestic structure that rose around her.

Yes, this was without a doubt a massive underground arena styled after a coliseum.

“A place for slaves to fight”, her mistress clarified. “The master has the ability to pit contestants of the lowest standing against each other and have them fight for his amusement. Mr. Pompadour has yet to take advantage of the facility.”

“Uhhh”, Peshkova looked around the place with a giddy smile on her face. “That sounds fun!”

Carol did not share their enthusiasm. She was more interested in the structure as a whole. The killing ground was massive, perhaps twice the size of the coliseum in Rome. But it was dwarfed by what surrounded it. Rows upon rows of spectator seats, creating a considerable amount of elevation. And at the very top of those seats, eight tall spires rose so high in the air, they almost touched the ceiling.

From said ceiling, droplets of water were raining down on them. Of course, this was no rain.

Seawater, Carol surmised with a queasy thought as she tasted the salty liquid.

The downpour was slowly getting worse, but not at an alarming rate. The sandy ground of the arena had soaked up a great deal of the water and only now formed some puddles. They had plenty of time to climb up the sides of the arena to avoid both the water and the beasts that swam within.

As expected of her brilliant mistress, this was the most advantageous place to be.

“E-EVERYONE! LISTEN TO ME!”

All three looked up in the air where the booming voice from their master came.

It wasn’t just the voice though.

There, just in front of one of the towers, the giant image of a very embarrassed Pompadour appeared, wearing a stylish Cheerleader uniform. A pair of brilliantly gleaming golden panties were peaking out from beneath the skirt.

Carol was never particularly impressed with Pompadour's fashion sense, but ever since he came here it was on point. Just looking at those magnificent panties invigorated Carol.

“L-Listen!”, Pompadour began sheepishly, his quivering voice betraying his awesome style. “If you die, you immediately get teleported here. I was also assured it’s painless.”

“Just the sharks. Drowning is very, very painful.”

“Aww, I expected as much already, but thanks for the tip, big Bro!”, Peshkova said with a giggle.”Why are you wearing panties, though?”

Pompadour cringed even more. “I...I was told they have a calming effect...so…”

“What?”, de Sade narrowed her eyes sharply. “These hideous undergarments should not work over such distance. What is the meaning of this?”

“Oh yeah, they usually don’t. But I made an exception because it’s funnier this way. Be grateful”, the host's voice added.

“It’s fine, they suit you”, Peshkova giggled.

Pompadour cleared his throat. “A-anyways. The worst case scenario has already been avoided. From this point onward, please just try your best.”

Her Mistress gaze looked even more intense than usual.

“I will, big bro!”, Peshkova promised with a big smile and waved “Ah! Can you tell me how many of my friends have already been killed?”

For a moment, Pompadour hesitated. Then just as he was apparently ready to answer, something changed in Peshkova’s expression.

“HUHHHH? Now? W-wait!”

And then the half imp popped out of existence.

“W-what just happened?”, Carol looked around nervously but was unable to spot the younger girl. It appeared as if she simply vanished in thin air.

CRAAACK!

The two remaining women were not given much time to ponder the disappearance of their team-mate. A loud, groaning noise penetrated the arena. It came from above, from the ceiling. Some small rocks rained down around them, and the pace of water increased drastically.

“M-Mistress?”, Carol squeaked. Perhaps we should find cover.”

Then the noise became even more deafening and the downpour became a torrent descending upon them like a colossal waterfall.

It happened far too fast, all Carol could do was dive out of the way to avoid the worst of the cave-in but the waves caught up with her almost immediately.

Carol gasped as the current caught and violently tossed her to and fro. Her glasses were knocked from her and before long she lost all sense of direction as her world turned upside down.

It was more luck then skill that allowed the gasping Nerd to resurface

“OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!"

…

What?

…

What?

…

WHAAAAAAAAT?

Carol had trouble understanding.

How could she? Her eyes were clearly playing tricks on her.

Because she thought she saw Marvelous.

Riding on a giant shark.

Perched upon the gargantuan, prehistoric animal, the blonde spoke down smugly. “Well, well, well, if it isn’t my so-called competition.” She affectionately petted the shark. “Luigina is most delighted to make your acquaintance.”

“WAN-WAN!”

Was Sinclair here too? Carol tried making her out but without her glasses everything beyond the giant shark was a blur.

“Y-you managed to tame such a monstrosity?”, Carol blurted out.

Marvelous scoffed. “I thank you for not insulting my adorable Luigina like that. A shark is not that different from a big dog if you really think about it.”

Luigina roared in response. At the same time the shark slowly circled her. Even as gigantic as this place was, it was just large enough for that thing.

“M-Mistress? What should we do?”, Carol looked around with a panicked expression but her Mistress was nowhere to be seen.

“Well then…”, the shark tamer spoke with sickly sweet cruelty. “That was grand and all but we should get down to business now. After all, that chubby body of yours does make for quite the tasty treat.”

“Y-You are planning to eat me?” Carol squeaked out.

“Of course not!”, Sahara scoffed offended. “What do you take me for? Luigina will do that. The poor thing is quite famished.”

It was only thanks to Pompadour’s panties that Carol didn’t completely lose her mind. “Attacking me will count as ****! You will get eliminated!”

This actually caused Marvelous to pause.

But not for as long as Carol would have liked.

“Ah, but as I was saying, I will not lay a single finger on you. That will all be my darling Luigina.” The blonde gave the shark a few more pats who roared happily (?)

“But you are the one controlling her!”

Even Pompadour appeared uncertain. “She’s right, Sahara. Please hold on for now. Uh..Ora? How would that work?"

“Hmm, good question”, Ora agreed. “Preminger…PREMINGER!”

“Pretty sure Preminger got eaten by sharks.”

“UGH That lazy penguin. Alright, let’s see…hmhmhm..,aha! The **** penalty always applies to the direct cause of ****. Makes sense.If I had to keep track of who’s the actual person responsible for ordering a hit that would be super annoying, so I’m definitely not gonna do that.”

That was not what Carol wanted to hear. She glanced upwards upwards towards the blurry figure of their master. “P-Pompadour? Please tell her off.”

But Pompadour only sighed in defeat. “Look, it’s painless. And far better than drowning. Sahara, please make it quick.”

“Yes, Daddy!”, Marvelous swooned. “Witness my most gallant figure as I vanquish your enemies! OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!

NOW SHE’S EVEN WORSE!

“Now then, Luigina! Feast upon the bones of my enemies! OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!”

The Megalodon let out a roar and rushed towards Carol.

“ORDER YOUR SHARK TO STOP FOR TEN SECONDS!”

Chore Received: Order your shark to stop for ten seconds! 5 VP (halved to 2.5 VP)

Marevelous let out an offended groan as her lips were **** to obey. "Luigina, halt."

Sure enough, the shark obeyed with a frustrated roar.

Phew...that was Carol’s last resort. She made sure to word it properly in order to reduce the price as much as possible. Now all she had to do was keep ordering Marvelous until she is out of the water. It will be pretty pricey but worth it. Carol swam towards the spectator seat as fast as she could.

...

“WAN...WAN-WAN! WAN-WANè WAN-WAN!”

“WAN...WAN-WAN! WAN-WAN! WAN-WAN!”

WAN!”

...

…

THE DOG CAN CONTROL THE SHARK TOO!?!

With a tremendous roar, Luigina once again began charging at Carol.

“E-EEEEEEEEK!”

Carol began swimming even faster. Of course she had no possible way to out-swim a shark, but she didn’t need to. She only needed to reach the spectator seats and climb up.

Thankfully she was already reasonably close, the water had already reached the first row of the seats, so getting up would be no issue either.

Carol swam, expending every single bit of energy she had. She could tell the gigantic shark was getting closer and closer to her.

And suddenly she could stand again. She had reached the rows!

Carol did not stop there. The water would continue to raise, she had to get to higher ground and fast.

She pulled herself up by the seats but then a large tremor shook the arena. The shark had rammed the walls. Carol lost her balance and fell back down. Terror gripped her as she plunged into the water again. Shark! Where was the shark? She could just barely making out the large Dorsal fin circling around for another attack.

With her heart beating like crazy Carol scrambled upwards once more. She can make it, the shark was still far away. She reached the point she fell and beyond She kept scrambling upwards, stumbling more than anything.

And suddenly she was at the very top of the seats.

She made it. She’s safe.

Then a looming dark shadow covered her field of vision.

…

“HUH?”

CHOMP.

It was certainly true that Carol made it to dry land.

But so had Luigina.

The shark had lunged itself out of the water, crashed on the spectator seats and swallowed Carol whole.

…

Giant Sky Daddy gasped, looking at something just out of view. “I-I’m so sorry about that! A-are you alright?”

“Pompadour. Please just let me gaze at your panties for the next hour or so.”

…

“Ohohohohoho! Most excellent! Simply splendid”, Sahara laughed shrilly as her pet Megalodon slowly undulated itself back into the water. “With Luigina at my side, our victory is all but guaranteed, Elizabeth!”

“WAN-WAN!”

Her doggie companion barked eagerly and wagged her tail.

“Now, I wonder…”

Sahara scanned the dark water while Luigina paced the perimeter. That little toadie did mention her Mistress. She was probably somewhere in the vicinity as well.

That obnoxious teacher was the greatest impediment to her rule. Sahara simply must use this opportunity to dispose of her and prove to her Daddy that only she was worthy to rule his harem.

Regrettably, the downside of being so grand is that something small can very easily escape your notice. No matter. Sahara’s victory was only a matter of time now and then Daddy will praise her.

But just as Sahara was reveling in her impending triumph, Luigina became unruly. The giant shark began to moan and trash around.

“W-what is the meaning of this, Luigina? Calm yourself”

But Luigina was in fact not calming herself.

Instead she flopped her body around wildly.

“WAN-WAN!”

Sahara managed to hold on, but Elizabeth did not comprehend the concept of fingers and was flung straight off.

“Elizabeth, no!”, Sahara desperately tried to control her pet. “For Heaven’s sake! What is the matter with you?”

“I believe that would be the potion your shark friend swallowed by eating Miss Summers.”

Essence of Lovely Lady Lollies (1 dose) – Upon consumption (dissolve underneath the tongue), an adult female will become mindlessly obsessed with providing blow jobs, seeking out the nearest man and doing anything, no matter how degrading, to blow him.

Do not take with ****, barbiturates, Pixie Sticks, or soy milk. Not a suppository.

“W-WHAT?”

Sahara whipped her head back.

“ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE!”

Why is that senile old sphincter sharking a surf! That's absurd!

“You are hardly in a position to complain”, de Sade retorted calmly

Sahara gritted her teeth in anger. The old bat was no longer exuding that overwhelming aura of fear but that didn’t mean she wanted to engage in a contest of sharks with her.

The shark de Sade was riding was smaller but also more disciplined. Luigina was still thrashing around wildly and Sahara could only barely hold on.

The two sharks circled each other, neither making the first move.

“It must not need be that way”, the teacher spoke. “Join me. I offer you a seat in my harem.”

Chore received: Join me:(insufficient VP)

“...what?”

“If you continue the path you are on nothing but ruin awaits you. I offer you salvation. The bondage around your crotch, your precious Cinderella. Even Daddy’s love. All gifts that I can give you if only you submit.”

…

“What about Elizabeth?”

“The mutt?”, de Sade scoffed. “An albatross around your neck. For the sake of your own triumph you must discard the useless thing. A small price to pay for all my gifts, no?”

…

Despite the shaky foundation she was on, Sahara stood up.

“KNOW YOUR PLACE, WRETCH! I AM SAHARA HARMONY ANASTASIA MARVELOUS! I BOW TO NO ONE!”

...

“A pity. Miss Summers?”

“Y-yes, Mistress de Sade?”, Carol squeaked from up above.

“Tell Miss Marvelous to drown herself.”

The hesitation on Carol’s face lasted only for a second. “Marvelous, drown your..mpffff!!!”

Unfortunately for Carol that was all the time Ashley needed to grapple Carol. Dahlia quickly joined in and the girl was subdued.

If de Sade was surprised by this turn of events she did not show it.

“Mr. Pompadour”, de Sade said coolly. “I believed you agreed to not interfere in this challenge.”

“T-that would have been outside interference! And besides, such an order would probably result in a huge punishment!”

Carol widened her eyes in shock.

“Hmpf. It matters not. I will simply have to deal with you the old fashioned way”, de Sade declared. “Donatien Alphonse François, charge.”

The great white submerged itself until only it’s Dorsal Fin was visible and charged the bigger shark. Luigina, stil under the effect of Lovely Lollies did not react in time and howled as she was bitten in the abdomen. The Megalodon howled in pain.

“Luigina!”, Sahara screamed. "Hang in there!"

That seemed to wake the Megalodon out of her stupor. It whirled around, jaws flashing. The Great White let out a horrific howl as teeth seven inches in length descended upon it.

For half a heartbeat that appeared to be it.

Then de Sade jumped.

Abandoning her dying mount, she landed directly behind Sahara. The blonde gasped and whirled around.

Luigina was still thrashing around in a complete frenzy, but amazingly the purple haired menace managed to remain standing simply by shifting her center of gravity.

“You should have accepted my offer”, de Sade said with finality. “Now only ruin awaits you.”

Sahara readied herself for the inevitable but then, Luigina did something neither of the two women could have anticipated. It jumped straight in the air, right towards the giant image of Sky Ashley.

“EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

Even for de Sade, gravity still applied. As the shark was cruising through the air she fell off

Not, Sahara though.

Sahara fell flat on her stomach, wrapping her arms and feet around the surface area and clinging on tightly.

She will absolutely not let go.

Daddy(or rather his crotch) came closer and closer.

No matter, she will not let go.

And then they were past him. Luigina flipped herself.

Sahara did not care, she will not let go!

One of the towers surrounding the arena rushed up.

NEVER LETTING GO!

CRASH!

With a tremendous crash, Luigina smashed her back into the tower behind Ashley.

The back that happened to carry Sahara.

SPLAT!

…

POP!

BONK!

“WHY THE HELL DIDN’T YOU LET GO?” Ashley shouted

“I don’t knooooooow, Daddy!!!”, Sahara wailed.

…

De Sade watched the giant animal come back down with a massive crash. She dove deep in the water, both to avoid the body itself and the falling debris that came with it.

The creature was still alive, she could tell but no longer an issue. Essence of Lovely Lady Lollies is active for an entire hour.

Things were going mostly to plan.

Nevertheless, she was utterly furious.

Not only was this farce of a mini-challenge not approved, their imbecile of a host kept meddling with the challenge itself.

What was especially frustrating is that the brat wil get away with it.

For now.

The vast majority of Producers prefer to do things by the book. They work behind the scenes and do not interfere with a host's decisions unless their hand is ****. Their influence is subtle. Always present but unseen.

Sefotatstlaka was no different.

Oh, he will of course interfere eventually. This utter display of rank incompetence has long since passed the point of no return. But the fall of a host is a spectacle. A show’s highlight that needs appropriate pomp and circumstance. It will only occur in the moment it has the highest dramatic impact.

It will only happen at the grand finale of this season.

De Sade agreed with the logic but that also meant she had to suffer this infuriating caricature of a season for longer.

...

She should focus on the task at hand.

Since she has yet to be transported away, that means at least one of the other contestants was still alive. She of course saw Miss Black and the doctor perish with her own eyes. And Watson was abandoned on a floor long since flooded.

Miss Peshkova was the most likely candidate to have survived. She must have used an item to conceal her presence.

De Sade wasn’t quite sure what the crafty little imps plan was but it made no matter. The younger girl will place second and become manager while de Sade herself will win the challenge. The reward transformation she has designed with Sefotatstlaka for her victory was quite substantial.

It was an insufferable circus but in the end everything was proceeding according to plan. Mr. Pompadour is progressing along nicely as well.

Soon...

Somebody was grabbing her.

WHAT?

Staring down she saw that blonde imbecile clutching her leg! Not the one that was just eviscerated.

The other one.

The canine one.

Wretched dog! Why are you still alive? Are you attempting to avenge your master?

For a brief moment she wanted to lash out, kick her in the face but de Sade barely managed to restrain herself.

**** would result in a loss of points, worse if her kick resulted in the mutt’s demise even she would not be able to escape punishment.

But freeing herself without the use of **** was quite impossible.

And worse...the mutt was wearing these infernal knuckles.

(Enclosed is a pair of brass knuckles, made of silver, that cause pleasure instead of pain, orgasms instead of broken bones. Etched into their sides in Gothic style script is Sexy on one and **** on the other)

The filthy mutt’s grappling was apparently counted as ****.

Curse that wretched vampire and her fetish for brutish mongrels!

De Sade attempted to remain calm but the pleasant combination of arousal and asphyxiation got to her. At the same time they sank deeper and deeper into the water.

It took all her willpower from refraining to lash out.

Let go! Let go!

She didn’t. The mutt stubbornly kept her grip.

It was getting hard to breathe now. Only De Sade’s iron will kept her going.

CHOMP! +1VP (doubled to +2 VP)

CHOMP! -1VP (doubled to -2VP)

Violation of the masters no **** rule -0.5 VP

The mutt had bitten her!

This was once again accompanied by a massive spike of pleasure.

*Necknipper Collar: Dingoes go for the neck, so you should too! While the predator is wearing this collar, kisses, licks, and love bites to the neck of her prey are all super effective, dramatically increasing the arousal the prey feels from these actions. Remember to only do sexy **** to everyone!

Why is she even wearing this…?

And finally, de Sade lost control over her body.

orgasmed in front of the master +1VP(doubled to +2VP)

Received an Orgasm by another contestant +1 VP (doubled to +2VP)

Her body was rocked by an orgasm, more air escaped de Sade’s lungs. Her vision began to fade.

No…Nooo, she will not perish like that! This humiliation will not stand! She forbid it!

Sefotatstlaka!

Suddenly Donatien Alphonse François appeared, the great white was at the verge of ****, but he used the last of its strength to save his mistress. The shark clenched his jaws around Liz’s torso.

CHOMP!

The water became a fine mist as de Sade was still reeling from the orgasm.

De Sade immediately turned her gaze upwards. She could no longer see the surface, her vision began to fade more and more.

No matter. She came in first. Nothing else matters.

De Sade drowned with a smile on her face.
