Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

I jumped from Melody's porch after kissing her goodbye, letting the wind blow through my hair. I fell for fifty feet before wings burst from my back, and I curved up to level out, flapping to rise back up to my tree.

I could have got the trees to play catch with me, but I still hadn't got tired of flying. Each time my wings burst from my back made me feel like I had been transported to another world, like in the light s.

The thing was, my life had become a light , and now I was about to go create shells to place invading Rogue AI into! I had been so caught up in trying to save everyone that I hadn't really taken the time to really think about things.

I was starting a new way of life, and I had tons of friends to help me progress things to new heights. The ideas that I had felt endless, and it was hard to think of something that wouldn't be possible with time.

I flew up to the top of my Great Tree, tilted back, and dropped into my pool, retracting my wings. I let the water wash over me, and I stayed under the water until I heard someone calling to me.

"Daniel!" Anya shouted at me, and I burst from the water.

"I'm alive!" I shouted, and Anya rolled her eyes.

"You're basically a tree now, so I am sure that you could stay under there all day if you really wanted. How long do you plan on soaking for?"

Anya's scowl made me smile as the water streamed off me, and jeans, shirt, and a toque formed over my body. I walked over and gave her a kiss, pushing some of her white hair out of her face.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's go get Frankentree going, and then you and I are going to work on a special project alone," I said, and Anya hugged me.

I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head before she pulled apart from me. She was smiling now, and that was always when she looked her prettiest.

"I do love your beautiful smile," I said, smiling myself.

"Try to show up on time, and you might see it more often!" Anya told me and then gave me a kiss on the cheek before running down the stairs.

"Come on! You know how Melody is!" I called as I chased after her, but I was really the one to blame for being late.

"Don't blame her! You are responsible for yourself and your commitments! Come on! You are slower than the second coming of Christ!" Anya called, already down by the elevator.

"Don't start bringing your old man's sayings out on me!" I laughed and jumped from the second floor to the first, landing next to her.

"Don't be so tardy then!" Anya growled, and I tickled her, breaking her frown as the door to the elevator opened up.

I pushed her inside, and the doors closed behind us as I pushed her into the vine cage, giving her pecking kisses until she wrapped her arms around my neck. I picked her up and pressed her back into the cage as we descended, passionately kissing as the floors zipped by.

Then we dropped below ground and kept going, but the two of us didn't spot kissing until the door opened behind us.

"Holy, Papi! Just getting hot and heavy in there!" Sofia called, and we slowed our kiss, but I still kissed her a few more times, biting her lip the last time before I put her down.

I hugged her one more time, and then the two of us turned around to the room I had met Gaia in, but everything about it had changed. It was almost like stepping inside some kind of science fiction laboratory.

"Wow, you all have been pretty busy!" I exclaimed as I linked my arm with Anya and entered the massive chamber filled with pods.

"Gaia told me about what you wanted to do, so we got to work right away! This is like growing human beings! Most people would form it in our old world, but you aren't like them. I am excited to be working on this project with you all!" Sofia exclaimed, and I smiled as I walked over to one of the transparent pods that were surrounded by vines.

When I got up to be able to see inside, I stopped smiling.

That was because I was staring back at my own face.

I walked to another and then looked up at Gaia and Sofia.

Neither was looking at me.

"Girls. Why are all the clones copies of me?" I asked, not liking this one bit.

"The others are featureless Elf-like bodies, but there are ten that are exact copies of you. These ones are for us to control in the event of an emergency. You are the most familiar and comforting face to everyone, and this way, we can go with you to help when you go to take back cities. I know you probably didn't want this, but we think it's for the best," Sofia explained, and Gaia nodded.

I looked back at one of my clones and sighed.

"You make an excellent point," I said.

"Since they are only going to be used by us, you should try and use your abilities to make them as strong as you can. This way, we can all fight if needed and protect the people," Gaia explained, and I nodded.

Yup, I will do that, but first, I want you to take me to one of the other bodies. Then, Anya, I need your help with the next part," I explained, turning my head to her.

"Me? I read books, dan. You know that I just want to be a librarian, so I don't know what you need me down here for?" Anya asked, and I kissed her.
