Chapter 125 - A Lesson

*(mood song: "Mother's Finest - Fire")

Crabina was a bit reluctant but ended telling Erik the entire story about Brekta and showed him her wounds.

Erik was boiling in anger inside, but even then, he calmly kneeled in front of Crabina and carefully embraced her "you did great sweety, you did great"

Crabina then started to cry as she embraced Erik back, Erik then cleaned her wounds and bandaged them again, the caparace already starting to close up.

Erik then took her in his arms and carefully told her "now... take me to Brekta, I will need to talk to her parents..." his tone of voice chilly and leaving no possible discussion.

Crabina could only nod as Erik put on his dive suit, grabbed her hand, and used the secret tunnel to go to the octopeople city, easily finding Crabinas classroom and looked at Crabina beside him "who is Brekta-"

Before Crabina could answer though "haha! that demon looser brought his alien monster mother as reinforcements! hahahaha!"

Erik turned and saw Brekta "well that makes it easier" and walked up to her.

Brekta looked up and said "w-what? you know my mother is-" *SLAP!* Erik slapped her to the floor though "b-but my mother-" *SLAP!*

Erik smiled "don't worry, whoever taught you to talk like this... I will teach her some manners too~" putting the bratty girl on his lap and smacking her ass loudly ten times.

Brekta started crying "waaahhh I will tell my mommy!"

Erik then picked her up and smiled at her snotty face "great, now guide me to her"

Crabina followed behind him a bit embarrassed but also flattered as she sneaked a peek of the snotty Brekta, muttering to herself "heh, not so cheeky anymore..."

They quickly arrived at Brektas house, loud moans heard from inside the door as Erik kicked the door open, inside a tall warrior octo woman pinning down a small scout, she seemed surprised ay the intrusion, but didn't stop pounding, "what do you want?! can't you see I'm busy-" until he noticed Erik's face and stopped, taking her seven inches cock out of the relieved scout "well well~ if it isn't the alien monster~ do you want some too?" standing half a head taller than Erik.

Erik chuckled though "you call that small thing a cock?"

Brektas mother paused and was about to rebuke Erik when she noticed the snotty Brekta behind him looking at her harshly "get your shit together and go wash your face!"

Brekta reacted bolting away instantly to a side room to clean up.

Meanwhile, Brektas mother just cursed out loud "fucking kid, can't do anything right" then looked back at Erik "so? what do you want? you looked tall with that armor of yours, but without it, you are nothing much yourself"

Erik: "is that so? I think I'm plenty enough, and different from you I teach my kid's to treat other's properly" poking his finger into the warriors lower neck "and I won't tolerate barbarians like you polluting this place with hate and stupidity"

"ha... haha... hahahaha! so that's what you are gonna say huh?! then freaking prove it with strength! words are easy to say!"

Erik coldly chuckled "gladly, come to the public plaza in 20 minutes and bring your snotty kid along, she will see how I teach her barbarian mother a lesson"

Brektas mother ground her sharp teeth as she bent a bit and answered to Erik's face "so be it! you better not chicken out!" and slammed the door closed.

As they were walking to the plaza, Crabina couldn't help asking "daddy... will you be alright?"

Erik turned over and smiled lovingly at her, kneeling on his right knee as he smiled at her "don't worry about daddy sweety, nobody messes with my family, nobody..."

Crabina: "but she looked taller and-"

Erik interrupted her "sshhh sweety it's fine, daddy is a really experienced fighter so don't worry"

Crabina nodded, feeling calmer.

--- 20 minutes later, octopeople city plaza ---

Dozens of octopeople and even the elders and Inky had come to watch, making a circle as Erik faced Brekta's mother in the middle.

Brektas mother tried taunting him "heh! you didn't bring your armor you F***..."

But Erik wasn't even listening as he analyzed his opponent 'her skin is slippery and her five tentacles keep her stable, so grapples won't work... but her skin is also flexible so that also means I can get to her organs... with chops and pierces I could cause a lot of damage....' straightening his hands into blades and putting his feet into an L position "come!"

Brekta's mother got annoyed then, and charged over, throwing a straight punch to Erik's face with her left arm, but Erik sidestepped beside her and while pushing her arm lightly with his left palm, used his right hand in a chop motion and strongly hit the tubicles on her neck with the side of his hand.

The hit causing her to choke and gurgle as she held her neck with her left hand and tried to punch Erik with her right hand.

Erik easily avoided it though, after Antonio he had scored the best in hand to hand combat, beating millions of other applicants in VR wars back in the overpopulated Earth, so this was nothing in comparison. He straightened his hand and stabbed it on her side, his fingers sinking into her rib area, and then twisted a full rotation of his hand, "GYAAAAAGHH!" causing the warrior to squeal and fall to the floor, as Erik had just caused an internal tear on her poison sack.

"y-you bastard! fight fairly!" she roared as she struggled to stand up.

Erik: "fairly? haha~ how funny... just come at me already~"

Brektas mother hesitated, she wanted to attack but didn't know how, she gritted her teeth and opened her arms wide, going for a tackle.

Erik lowered his stance and slightly moved in the direction her head was looking, waiting until she was close to connect his right palm to her chin and rotating on his forward right foot, used her own strength to launch her to the side.

Brektas mom rolled a couple times on the floor until she stopped and stayed there looking at the ceiling, her head dizzy and disoriented while her neck twitched in pain.

The crowd was silent for a moment, but then... a cheer broke the silence.

Inky: "go Erik! beat her up!"

The crowd cheering as well.

Crabina: "go daddy!"

Rose: [Finish her! ლ(´∀`ლ) ]

She got up catching her breath and threw a slow punch at Erik, but he easily pushed it to the side, and stabbed his hand on her belly, then grabbed her by the hair and threw her after spinning around on his forward feet.

She tried to stand up but Erik just kicked her face, launching her again, after all even if she was taller, with all his modifications he was stronger.

Erik smiled and walked to Brekta's not so proud anymore mother "so you taught your daughter that those weaker belong to those stronger right? does that mean you belong to me now?"

Brekta's mother was getting scared now and tried to crawl backwards, as there was something about Erik that gave her the chills, but the fear made her true emotions come to light "y-you! you are ruining our tribe! the strong should rule it all!!!" the pointed at Timberly "see what you did to the Second Elder! she used to just take what she wanted! she just pressed me down and fucked me! but now she asks for permission and is polite! an alpha doesn't ask permission! an alpha takes! that's how we have done things for generations! the strong should- AAAGH!" but Erik had gotten tired of listening to her excuses.

Erik: "so you are a horny bitch who wants to be taken by someone stronger huh?" taking his own cock out, even flaccid bigger than hers "you want this piggy?" moving it in front of her face.

her eyes dilated at the sight "an alpha doesn't... ask..." her body lowering as her struggles grew nonexistent, and even her dick started getting erect.

But Erik put his dick back on his dive suit though "well, you ain't gonna get it, 'cause I just take those I like, but..." he looked at the crowd "I'm sure someone will be willing to plow this horny bitch right~?"

Several people in the crowd laughing and gathering closer while Erik walked away and took Crabina with him.

Crabina struggling in his arms "no! daddy I wanna see! what are they doing to Brekta's mother? why is she shouting so weirdly? are they wrestling?"

Erik covered her eyes as resounding moans and wet sounds started coming from the orgy that was starting on the plaza "that's not for kids to see"

Crabina: "then why you took your pee pee out? what did she mean by pushed down? what does alpha mean? what is-"

Erik: "you can watch cartoons when we get home"

Crabina: "yay~!"

Erik then spotted the slack jawed Brekta by the side and felt guilty, he struggled a second but sighed, grabbing her by the shoulder and turning her around from the spectacle "come with me kid, your mom will be busy for some time, I will make you dinner"

Rose: [oh? didn't you just beat up her mother? what's up with you?]

Erik: [well... I was angry and now I've calmed down somewhat, I'm not gonna hold a grudge with a kid right?]

Rose: [well, if you say so ¯\_(´_ゝ`)_/¯ ]

Brekta was still slightly afraid, but she nodded and followed after Erik.

Crabina: "no daddy! she's a bully!"

Erik: "she's a kid in the end, now no complaining or no cartoons when we get back"

Crabina shut up as she hummed angrily in his arms.

Brekta behind them was surprised, in class Crabina always acted like she was superior and that made her angry, but now she was acting spoiled, it made her feel... jealous... her mom was always busy doing nothing, or cursing at others after all.

Back at the base, both girls sat at different sides of the kitchen table as Erik brought out a big pig fish from the door.

Crabina was surprised at the sight "isn't that the one I... but I left it there?"

Erik chuckled "the guards just brought it, they told me you caught it by yourself in a... team exercise... you told me it was a normal pig fish, but this is too reckless, it could injure you fatally"

Crabina lowering her head at the nagging "yes daddy..."

Erik then looked at Brekta "and you... why did you make my daughter go alone?"

Brekta got nervous as she stuttered to answer "w-well mommy always said you w-were monsters... s-so! and that you were an alien who brought demons to live amongst us to our city!"

Erik: "kid... why do you think you live in a city and not out there on the ocean to begin with? it's thanks to me, so whatever your mother has told you it's just false, adults ain't perfect or always right, your mom was tall but she clearly didn't know too much about fighting, take your own decisions and make your own opinion kid"

Brekta just went silent as she looked at the table, making Erik sigh as he propped up the pig fish from a hook on the ceiling, setting a big bowl below it.

Erik: "well kids, the first part of butchering is always bleeding the prey..." he inspected the cut gills "good job Crabina, it's also a good way to ensure the prey is truly dead, but the most important part is that if you leave the blood inside then the meat will reek, now..." he grabbed a sharp short knife "I will cut some steaks to eat" he then cut some big pieces from behind the frontal fins, the same place as secreto ibérico in pigs, the meat red and marbled with fat, he then put it on a chopping board and cut some thin slices, added some algae oil to a hot skillet and lightly cooked the thin slices on both sides with a pair of metallic chopsticks.

Erik: "have you tried cooked meat Brekta?"

Brekta seemed to hesitate and answered "my mom said... only the weak cook food... that it makes you weaker"

Erik: "...well that's half true, you see, in this world everything you eat becomes a part of you, but what if you wanna eat something just to feed yourself, that's when you cook it, its tastier, easier to digest and less of those genes will get incorporated" he fried a couple dozens of slices, and put the plate of yakiniku on the table, with Crabina quickly wolfing down slice after slice, Erik made an inviting motion with his hand to the undecisive Brekta too, and just said "eat".

She slowly nodded and grabbed a slice with her hand, it was warm and dripping fats, a slight char on the outside, she put it on her mouth and her eyes illuminated "it's tasty!" competing then with Crabina for more.

Erik chuckled "I know right?"

Crabina: "aren't you eating too daddy?"

Erik stood up and walked again to the carcass "no sweety, I'm gonna eat a different part" he cut the belly open carefully and carefully dropped the intestines on the bowl below, he would keep them clean to make sausages at another time [so... Rose, where is the spleen in this fish?]

Rose: [well, you need to look for a dark red long organ... yeah that one, and since you are at it, eat the liver too, its that slightly brown one... yeah, that one]

Erik cut out both organs and washed them thoroughly, he didn't like eating raw organs in the end [ugh... wish I could just eat the soup DNA and that's it...]

Rose: [well, you could but its a complicated process and some of it would go to waste that way, so it would be better to just cook it for that]

Erik sighed and started cutting thin slices of liver sashimi, he then took out a bowl of ready made sushi rice from the fridge and made some sushi rolls, then a quarter of the organs he chopped into dices and put inside the blender, making at least five liters worth of bloody smoothy, he heavily added five spoon fulls of grape flavoring and went back to the table, and started to eat, instantly two pairs of eyes set on on his food, to what he just sighed and said "you can try them too, this on the left is sashimi, then sushi, and finally some flavored smoothies"

Crabina finished her glass of sweet algae juice and poured herself some smoothie, taking a sip and liking it "it's tasty daddy!" a sweet bloody smile on her face.

Erik poured himself a cup but for him, it took some effort to swallow, the iron flavor too intense for the grape flavoring methyl anthranilate to cover, and just left a grape after taste.

Brekta also tasted some and appeared to like it as her small kins rose and tentacles tapped the ground, she also tried the sushi, eating one and then two more with zeal, she was losing her initial shyness, with Crabina also eating some not to be left behind on food.

The kids got full faster, and Brekta excused herself to go home "I should probably go home, my mom should have finished by now" while Crabina stood up to go watch her cartoons.

Erik: [is she?]

Rose: [...nope, she's getting her fill, not like they would let her rest even if she wanted though ¯\(･ิω･ิ)/¯ ]

Erik then stopped Brekta "wait, it seems your mom isn't finished yet, so tell me, did you learn anything today? was your mom right?"

Brekta shook her head "...no"

Erik: "that's right kid, some things you gotta experience them and try them yourself to truly get to understand them... now go watch cartoons with Crabina, I'm sure you will like them-"

At that moment Crabina that was getting ready to go watch cartoons by herself, quickly ran up to Erik and pinched him, he kneeled next to her and she loudly tried to whisper "daddyyyy.... whyyyy.... just kick that bully out!" and Erik properly whispered back "just watch some cartoons, just that should be fine right? you are taller and stronger anyways"

Crabina seemed happy with the praise but said "hmph! of course!" and turned around, walking beside Brekta as she said "follow me, mean girl!", to which Brekta followed after her a bit hesitantly.

As they had come out though, Erik told Rose [keep an eye on them just in case please]

Rose: [No worries, I keep an eye on everyone (✿◠‿◠)]

Erik: [...thanks]

And just continued slowly filling himself more and more.

Meanwhile, in Crabina's room, she just jumped into her bathtub and started to watch her cartoons on the opposite wall, completely ignoring the awkward Brekta that just looked around and sat herself on a nearby stool.

Crabina continued watching the episode and completely forgot the existence of Brekta until she heard her chuckle too on a fun part "right... you are here too..."

Brekta: "...I am.... so... why is that... wolf? trying to hunt that bird?"

Crabina: "it's a coyote hunting a roadrunner bird"

Brekta: "...okay... but why making it so complicated? he could just get more... coyote subordinates and make a foolproof trap..."

Crabina: "...this is just fun, it doesn't need to be educational, you laugh seeing him fail and obviously know not to do something like that"

Brekta: "oh... is there more perhaps?"

Crabina: "that's the great thing... there's endless episodes and movies of all kinds, dad said it's almost impossible to watch everything in there... but I will do it... one day"

Brekta: "...isn't it a waste of time then? my mom said..." but stopped herself "can I watch some more?"

Crabina then gave her a tablet she had on a side table and a pair of headphones "here put this on... now click on that folder on the corner, those are the cartoons I already watched but I like so I might watch them again, you can watch those if you want" and continued watching her cartoon.

Brekta watched for a second and mumbled "...thanks"

Crabina: "huh? did you say something?"

Brekta: "no! just watch that!"

Crabina didn't care, so she shrugged and used her pincers to hold the side of the bathtub as she now watched another cartoon.
