The Protagonist System

156 To Stay Or To Go Conclusion

I came back to myself while floating in the nothingness. In front of me was the expected notification of which world to go to. I had done so much and brought so many new lives into the last world that I knew Fate and Death would be quite busy for a long time.

Please choose which world (unlocked for free) to travel to:
The Last Of Us (As Eli Williams - Gender-Swapped) - Paused
Worm (As Taylor - Gender-Swapped)
The Incredibles (As Hank Parr - Gender-Swapped)

Or you can choose to travel to a new world: Show List (Current total: 1776)

Whoa. I thought and looked at it for a few seconds without choosing. I was really tempted to try one of the others, except I knew I needed to finish my time as Eli. That was why I went back to Amy first and lived out my life there with her, because I didn't want to feel guilty or like I was cheating on her. I loved her too much to do that.

Also, since I wasn't a coward, I didn't cheapen my time there by risking my life needlessly. Killing myself wasn't an option, either. The irony of that was I couldn't live with myself if I did anything like that.

I chose The Last of Us and everything faded in around me. It was still slightly greyed out and I felt my body change under my bulky clothing. Apparently, all my work to get into the same body shape I had before my punishment had been carried over. It didn't change my height, though. Maybe that would have been too noticeable and it wouldn't happen until my growth spurt?

The man in the middle of the five judges kept talking, as if I hadn't just spent 50 years in another world. “In light of the accused's unique defense, we have chosen a unique punishment.” His eyes went to me. “If you had stuck to your initial words, blaming it all on Marius, it would have mitigated nearly all of the charges against you. You were right and it was his fault that everything else happened.”

“Ah, crap.” I muttered and a few people behind me let out muffled laughter.

“However, your actual defense changed our minds. You were trying to be clever and we applaud you for your conviction, except your words worried us. You are a person of high interest for both the FEDRA troops and for the Fireflies, the very resistance that everyone here has chosen to avoid at all costs.”

“No!” A female voice exclaimed from the other side of the room and a lot of people started muttering.

“We cannot afford to have someone as 'hot' as you within our walls, or we will bring too much attention to our little settlement from the very people we don't want to have any interest in us.” The man said rapped his knuckles to make everyone quiet down. “Since you've chosen to give up your only means of transport, an older horse will be provided and your weapon will be returned to you.”

“He's just a kid!” The woman with short black hair shouted. “You're sentencing him to die!”

“By his own words, he crossed two thirds of the country on his own to reach here. We have full confidence that he can travel the rest of the way without trouble.” The man said, throwing my own words back at me. “You will be escorted to the gate with as much supplies as a horse can reasonably carry and we wish you luck on your journey.”

“I don't need the supplies.” I denied immediately and a few people gasped. “I just need as current of a map as possible. The one I copied from Bill's place is months out of date.”

“It will be done.” The man said and rapped his knuckles on the table again. “That is the judgment of this court. Please take him into custody until his horse is prepared. Case dismissed.”

Jenkins was behind me and patted my shoulder. “Come on, I'll treat you to a nice meal while you wait.”

“Sure.” I said and stood up as everyone started talking and a few shouted at the judges at their unfair decision. “Make sure you get the oldest horse they have. It can be lame, too.” I said, surprising him and everyone there. “The only thing that matters is that it can saddle up and can walk for a while.”

“I'll let the stable know.” Tammy said and I turned around to see her with tears in her eyes.

“Thank you.” I said and saw the woman with short black hair behind her and she had an angry look on her face. “Hey, it's okay.”

“No, it's not. Those idiots are too scared to try and keep you safe, even though they know we can easily hide you when the next patrol comes through.” She said, her hands balled into fists.

I walked over to her and gave her my best smile before I slid my arms around her waist and pulled her into a hug. “I can't fault them for wanting to keep everyone else safe. If I'm not here, they can easily admit that to anyone that might show up and they won't get in trouble.”

The woman let out an odd sound and her arms went around me to hug me back. Her hands moved slightly, then a bit more, then they were sliding all over my back and arms checking me out.

“Someone's suddenly all hands.” Jenkins commented.

“Have... have you seen... did you know he's like this?” The woman asked Tammy, her voice full of disbelief.

“No one's seen me disrobe, if that's what you're asking.” I answered and let her go.

She held on for a few seconds before she reluctantly let me go.

“What are you talking about?” Tammy asked her.

“Him. Those.” The woman said and motioned to my arms and then my chest. “Eli, show her!”

I chuckled and shook my head. “I need to know your name before I start taking my clothes off.”

“Sandra.” She said and pointed at my coat. “Come on, I'm waiting.”

“I'm getting a meal first.” I said to tease her and turned to Jenkins. “I assume we're heading over to the jailhouse?”

“Safer that way.” Jenkins said and put a hand on my shoulder and led me across the room.

“No cuffs?” I asked as we went through the doors and left the shouting behind.

“They're not needed, since you're not a flight risk. You're leaving anyway, right? What are you going to do? Leave early before getting a free horse and your shotgun back?” Jenkins asked me.

“I could.” I said and Sandra walked ahead of us to open the door to the jailhouse. “Thank you.”

“Yeah, yeah, hurry up. I want to see what you're hiding under there.” Sandra said.

“A small body. What else would be there?” I joked and entered the building.

“Conference room.” Tammy said and pointed off to the right instead of at the jail cells. “I need to make a couple calls.”

“Can you get my backpack?” I asked Jenkins as we entered the room.

Jenkins sighed. “They tossed it. The zipper was stuck and they cut it open to check it for more contraband.”

“I suppose the packs of candy and snacks were shockingly declared illegal and confiscated, too?” I asked and sat down at the table.

“What snacks and candy?” Jenkins asked, his voice flat. “Yes, I was told to say that.”

“Then I changed my mind. I desperately need those supplies awarded in my judgment.” I said and he winced. “Sandra can watch me while you go pester Tammy.”

Jenkins nodded and left the room after locking the door.

“Well?” Sandra asked and motioned to my bulky clothes. “Let's see it.”

I stood up and glanced around. I saw a side door and went over to it and opened it. It was a half-bath with only a toilet and a sink inside, so it was good enough. “I'll be right out.”

Sandra had a look of anticipation and nodded.

I shut the door and spent a few moments going through my inventory. I found what I wanted and had to silence myself to stop Sandra from hearing my loud laughter. It had been sitting in my inventory for a very long time and it was about time I finally used it. I washed up in the sink and used several cleaning spells before I put it on.

“Showtime.” I said and grinned at my reflection in the mirror.

*

Sandra had been surprised when Eli had hugged her and then was shocked when she felt his muscles under his bulky clothes. It made her wonder if that was why he wore them, so no one would know how ripped he was. He might be turning only 15 next month; but, her hormones were screaming at her to get a look at what he was hiding under his clothes.

She had no plans to do more than maybe letting him cop a feel, as long as she could cuddle him as well. The trade off would be worth it, at least that's what her hind-brain was telling her. The wetness between her legs was telling her she might let him do a little more than that if holding him close made her even slightly hornier.

The bathroom door opened and Sandra turned to look with a huge smile on her face, fully expecting to see a young man wearing only his underwear... and her heart stuttered and her breath caught at seeing the thing in front of her. It wasn't possible! It couldn't be real! In front of her was a bright pink plush bunny with huge bunny ears and long whiskers.

“What do you think?” Eli asked and held his arms out to the side and then hopped in a circle to show off the large powderpuff tail. “I've been saving this for ages to show off to the right person.”

Sandra had a difficult time breathing and needed a few moments to recover from the shock. When she did, a keening whine escaped from her mouth and she slowly stood. She took one step, then another. When the giant rabbit didn't run from its impeding doom, she squealed like a little girl and lunged for him and scooped him up into her arms.

“Can't... breathe!” Eli gasped.

Sandra didn't care. She was never letting go of her childhood dream come true. Never!

Tammy and Jenkins entered the room and let out surprised sounds. All they could do was stare as Sandra mauled a five foot tall bunny rabbit that had a striking resemblance to Eli Williams.

After a few minutes, Jenkins put the food trays on the table and spaced them out. “If you don't stop choking him, he's going to die.”

His words seemed to knock Sandra out of whatever fugue she had been caught in and she realized there were other people in the room with her and her bunny. She didn't let him go, though. Her iron grip shifted from his neck to his chest and she carried him over to the table and sat down with him on her lap.

Tammy looked at Sandra as she lovingly fed the giant bunny rabbit and sighed. “I'll have another horse and more supplies prepared.” She said and left for several minutes to make another call. She came back and the scene hadn't changed. Since she knew she wasn't crazy, she just chalked it up to Eli making a flashy exit and left it at that.

The four of them ate their meal in silence and no one mentioned how possessive Sandra was. Every time Eli tried to climb off of her lap, she swatted his nose and called him a bad bunny, the she cuddled him even harder. He gave up after the third try because she started choking him again.

“You really should change back into your normal clothes.” Jenkins advised Eli when they were about to leave the conference room.

“NO!” Sandra yelled and hugged Eli tightly. “I'm never letting him go! NEVER!”

Tammy sighed at her reaction. “You need to go pack up your things.”

“Have Janine do it. She'll be ecstatic to have the place to herself.” Sandra said and snuggled her face into Eli's soft neck fur. “I only need my clothes and ration tickets. She can keep everything else.”

Tammy was surprised by that admission and nodded. “I'll make the call.”

“We'll be right here until it's time to leave.” Sandra said and cuddled her giant bunny.

Both Tammy and Jenkins gave pointed looks at Eli.

“I honestly thought she would laugh her ass off at seeing a five foot tall pink bunny.” Eli said and tried to not purr as Sandra's hand started rubbing his head between his ears. He almost succeeded and made a soft pleased noise instead.

“Ohhh.” Sandra moaned and really started to rub his fur in earnest after that. “Do that again.”

Eli tried to fight the great feeling of being cuddled and petted, he really did. What he didn't plan on was the costume parting at his subconscious thought of needing relief and his erection started to slide out the opening.

“I'm waiting outside.” Jenkins said and fled the room.

Tammy on the other hand, looked down at the thing as it fully emerged. Her eyes widened at how... prominent it was.... for both a young man and a bunny, and wasn't that a very strange thought to have?

“Ohhhh, god. Oh, god. I think I love you.” Sandra said and her hand reached for the offering.

Tammy decided she really didn't want to know how far Sandra was going to go with her newly acquired bunny and left as well.

*

I was thankful that Sandra decided that a handjob was as far as she was going to go. Of course, she also let me suckle her breasts at the same time and she never once stopped petting my head. Even when we finished and she fixed her clothes, she kept one hand on my head between my ears and wiggled her fingers to keep me docile and feeling happy.

When we left the building when her luggage was delivered, she still kept at least one hand on me at all times. The crowd of people that gathered to see us off had gone a little nuts when they saw me in my costume. Apparently, there were a lot of women that had certain fetishes or had denied dreams when they were younger.

Of course, I couldn't let that stand. I opened my new backpack and spent several minutes expanding it and then I created a one foot tall plush bunny that looked just like I did in my werebunny costume, then I used the permanent copy spell and made more than enough for everyone that wanted one. I started handing them out and there was a lot of yelling, squeals, and a mad scramble to be the next one to get one.

Surprisingly, no one asked me how I had fit so many plush toys into the backpack or where I had gotten them. The only one staring a hole through me was Marius, because Tammy had been one of the first ones to get a plush bunny copy of me and she wouldn't let it go, no matter how hard he pulled on it.

Sandra's luggage was spread out over both horses and the horses didn't look happy about carrying anything. They were old and ornery, so they didn't like much of anything really. That was going to change soon as we walked through the opening made in the new reinforced doors. The guards had loved my idea to add a smaller door for packages and single people with horses to pass through.

The townspeople waved and shouted regrets that I had to leave and I waved back. Sandra's hand still petted my head as I added both horses as mounts to my adventure card and then I started casting spells on them. I fed them healing potions and Pepper-Up potions to get them some extra energy, then I added a few enchantments to their bridles and mouth bits.

Sandra didn't ask me what I was doing, because she was too distracted by my enticingly smooth and fluffy fur. We had to stop when we were out of sight for me to fix the horseshoes on both horses and I enchanted those as well. All in all, it was half an hour later when the buffs started working and the horses seemed to bulk up and get stronger as they moved.

Another half an hour later, we transferred all of Sandra's luggage to the second horse and tied its reins to the saddle of the first horse. We both climbed on the first one to ride it, because Sandra absolutely refused to let me go or to stop petting me. I was hers forever and she reminded me again that she was never letting me go.

Her devotion didn't make me laugh or made me feel uneasy, because I appreciated it for what it really was. I was a symbol of her happiness and she didn't want to lose it. She had left her entire life behind to join me in exile and I wasn't going to cheapen that sacrifice by refusing her.

On the plus side, the mutual heavy petting felt wonderful and she had a lot of fun trying to have me make noises while I did the same to her. My fur was also really soft and warm, so the colder weather wasn't affecting us at all as we cuddled and rode down the road and left the Jackson settlement far behind us.
