Katie stared in horror and disgust at the
spectacle before her. A young
woman, probably no more than seventeen or eighteen years old was kneeling
in front of a gigantic ape, her backside raised toward him for ease of sexual
entry. It was obvious from the
way the young woman was cooperating that what was being done to her was not
a new experience. It was also
obvious that she was as distressed as Katie over what was going to happen
to her.
The ape king turned his attention away from Katie and back to his young
victim. The young woman kneeling
in front of him was holding on to a post with both hands, a look of fear
and resignation clouding her face.
Katie looked around her. She
could not allow this bestial act to
continue! The apemen who had
brought her to the platform were no longer holding on to
her. They evidently thought that
she was not capable of escaping now that they had brought her to the middle
of the ape city.
There had to be something she could do!
Her eyes fixed on a vertical stave that was used as a light support
for a thatched canopy that covered part of the
platform. Two steps and she had
the stave in her hands. It was
not much of a weapon, but in skilled hands it might be of
service.
She wrenched the stave loose, holding it with both hands in front of
her. Fortunately, she had spent
many hours with Larra training in the proper use of the cross-staff in
combat. While not up to Larra’s
level, Katie was very proficient in its
use.
The apes on the platform stared at her in evident
surprise. It was obvious that
they had no comprehension of what she was up to, probably regarding the staff
simply as a piece of wood or building
material. It a few seconds they
found out how wrong they were.
Katie struck hard and fast. Her
staff caught the ape nearest her in the midriff, taking away his wind and
dropping him to the platform.
Almost immediately she drove the butt if the staff into the face of
the next closest ape, catching him between the
eyes. Stunned, the ape staggered
backward and toppled off the edge of the
platform. A few seconds later
his body hit the ground with a thud.
By now the other apes of the platform were reacting, and there were dozens
of them. But her distraction
had worked; the ape king was no longer interested in his female
victim. He was now watching Katie
battle with his minions. Taking
advantage of the situation, the young woman crawled away, hoping to avoid
further brutality at the hands of the ape king.
The apes came at her in droves. If
even a single ape caught her she would be overwhelmed by sheer force of
numbers. Quickly she backed toward
the corner of the platform. It
was a drop of well over a hundred feet to the
ground. No ape would be able
to get behind her. There was
a real danger, however, that she would be knocked off the platform by the
animals rushing toward her.
She jabbed the staff into the platform and braced it with her
foot. As the first ape charged
her, she jammed the other end of the staff into the gut of the rushing animal,
and using leverage and the ape’s own momentum, pitchforked the ape over
the edge.
Recovering quickly, she swung the staff like a baseball bat, striking the
next ape across the side of its head.
The force of the blow caused him to stumble, tripping up many of the
other apes that were following close
behind. She then darted forward,
away from the dizzying edge of the platform, and swept into the massed apes,
striking left and right. With
the drop-off behind her, she was safe from attack from the rear and the large
numbers of her attackers actually worked against them, with the apes behind
pressing against those in front and the whole confused mass getting in one
another’s way.
Unable to think of a better attack plan the apes continued to try to tackle
Katie head on, and one after the other, or even two at a time, she was able
to dispatch them. Some she flipped
over the edge after their dead companions, and others
she knocked senseless and watched as their attacking comrades trampled them
underfoot.
Suddenly there came an earsplitting roar.
The frightening sound seemed to paralyze every ape on the platform,
and temporarily froze Katie as well.
The mob of attacking apes fell back and then parted as the ape king
himself pushed through. He clearly
intended to take on Katie himself.
Katie readied herself for the attack.
She was up against a very formidable
opponent. The other apes that
had attacked her had stood about five feet tall, but the ape king was truly
enormous, standing about eight feet in
height. Katie had a hard time
believing that such a giant simian could
exist. He was absolutely
intimidating. Each of his immensely
strong arms was about five feet in length and powerful muscles rippled beneath
his fur. Katie would need all
of her skill, and perhaps some luck in order to handle this
monster.
Unlike the other apes, the ape king showed some
caution. Instead of rushing in,
he approached warily, keeping a close watch on Katie’s
staff. Katie
waited. It was not up to her
to make the first move. The giant
ape moved closer and closer. Now
Katie was almost within reach of one of his giant
arms. Suddenly the huge ape king
lunged at her. Expecting the
move, Katie stuck hard with her staff, bringing it down hard on the ape
king’s wrist. With a howl
of rage the huge ape yanked his arm back and circled to the side trying to
change his angle of attack, but he was soon brought up short by the edge
of the platform. Katie’s
position was secure.
Once more he lunged toward her, this time with both arms spread wide, intending
to enfold her in his deadly embrace.
This time Katie drove her staff directly into his
midriff. She put all her weight
behind it, and against a smaller ape she would have been
successful. The result with the
ape king, however, proved disastrous.
The tremendous weight of her adversary, coupled with the force of
the blow caused the staff to bend sharply and then snap with a loud
crack. The ape king staggered,
winded by the force of the blow, but Katie was now
weaponless.
The ape king regained his balance.
He now saw before him a tiny defenseless human, clutching a three-foot
length of wood, the rest of the staff having broken into several
pieces. He had only to close
with her and enfold her in his powerful arms and the fight would be
over.
Katie, however, was not quite finished.
As the ape king move in, confident of victory, she struck him with
all her might across the top of his head.
The stroke staggered him again, but as he fell back he struck out
with one arm. The blow knocked
Katie off her feet, and almost off the edge of the
platform. She just managed to
stop herself from going over the edge.
In an instant the ape king was upon
her. Katie expected to be torn
limb from limb, but instead the brutish creature merely tore off the few
scraps of underclothing that still covered her
body. Then, forcing her down
on the deck of the platform, he wrenched her legs
apart. Katie saw to her horror
that the ape king was fully erect, sporting an enormous phallus that must
have measured at least fourteen inches.
He was going to rape her!
