Reena's final climax hits her like a golden, glowing battering ram.
She bellows a moo that seems to ripple the very fabric of reality itself, sweat dripping down mountains of glistening muscle as she leans back quivering viciously through a long, intense and mind-numbingly powerful climax that seems to start right at the base of her spine and detonate somewhere begin her eyes.
She collapses to the bed with a guttural groan before giggling like deity drunk on carnal delight.
Pip spends a long moment simply staring up at the ceiling as messages flood his vision. Though his new body didn't allow for it, somewhere deep in his soul, tears of joy were flowing freely.

"You must be a gift from the Great Mother." Reena whispers into Pip's faceplate, as she ginger rubs her aching back. "...that was diviiiiiiiine." She gently brushes her fingers across his cheek, her mouth curled into a grin dripping with satisfaction and eyes filled with something more than lust.
He stares at her silently, a digital smile frozen onto his mind, his soul feeling warm, smothered with a deep sense of accomplishment.
He was where he was meant to be.
Doing what he was meant to do.
Fulfilling his divine purpose.
At least that's what he told himself.
Reena's eyes suddenly widen as her fingers crawl across his lips. "Oh crumbling cheese curds! I think I'm falling in love here!" she squeals before turning around and curling up under the sweat-stained sheets.
Five minutes later, the cow-girl's steady snoring echoes through the chamber like thunder through a barn. Deep, rolling moos followed between each breath as Reena lay snuggled up, sweat-soaked and thoroughly satisfied.
Pip gently wiggles himself out from beneath her arm, tiptoeing across the room on metal feet, moving as softly as his ultrium reinforced body would allow him.
His thrust motors sizzle, humming at a low idle while his cooling systems spit out puffs of steam.

Pip climbs the stairs of the basement back into the house and sneaks through the creaking halls, poking his head into various rooms as he searches for Vuvi.
He finds her at the apothecary's storefront, slumped back on an old, wooden chair, a small blanket across her lap. She snores softly beneath candlelight, glistening drool dripping down her cheek.
Her head rolls to the side as she mumbles about numbing-slime and vibrating mushrooms.
The strap of her overalls slowly slips off her shoulders, folding down to reveal a petite chest crowned with marshmallow-pink nipples.
He freezes.
His visual interface flickers as he instinctively scans the young woman before him.

He leans over her and tenderly pulls the blanket up to her shoulders as her mouth curls into a mischievous smile.
Pip stares at her for a long time, her red curls dripping down a face gently lit by soft candlelight. Fiery freckles dotting her chubby cheeks. A small, button nose hung low between her emerald-green eyes. And a tiny mouth with lips that look as soft as the touch of a flower petal.
Thank you, he thinks appreciatively, eyes glowing a soft gold as he watches over the women who had helped bring him to this world.
She was chaotic, brilliant, unhinged… and beyond cute. But most of all, she believed in him.
That matters. It's the only thing that matters.
A noise from outside captures Pip's attention. The soft rustingly of leaves, the wind whispering between bushes and the cracking of branches that seemed precise.
Overcome with curiosity and caution, he slips through a side door of the apothecary and steps into a beautifully overgrown, moonlit garden.
Half-hidden behind giant leaves and swaying bushes stands Maribelle, a blade in one hand and the head of a glowing night-poppy in the other.
Beautiful.
Graceful.
And half-naked. Barely covered in a shawl that revealed far more than it tried to hide.
Her long, silver hair flows down her back, undulating like a shimmering sea as it waves in the gentle, twilight breeze. Her body is a fusion of regal elegance and refined savagery that seems to shimmer, as if reflecting starlight. She grabs the head of another poppy and slices through its stalk with clinical precision.
Then she speaks.
"Sounds like you've had your first satisfied customer."
Pip nods nervously as she turns her head toward him with a calm, unreadable expression. Her icy-eyes focused on him as she softly spoke in a tone dripping with intimidation.
"I assume my daughter has told you about her plan to... save the world."
He nods again as she starts to strut towards him, her slow, deliberate steps sinking her bare feet into the earth beneath her. Her body moves like the very concept of seduction itself, carrying curves that could crush kingdoms, a planet-ending presence, silvery ice-like eyes that felt like they could kill with a glare.
"Vuvela…" she starts, looming over him as his metal body quivers with apprehension. "She's everything to me. The only thing in this wretched world that gives me the strength to carry on. She's beyond reckless and very naïve. She's chaos incarnate when she gets her mind into something… but above all... she's hopeful."
Maribelle steps closer, cupping her hand beneath Pip's chin and pulling his gaze to meet hers.
"Vuvi believes in you." she says softly, brushing her fingers across his face with a sensual softness that sends shudders through his circuits. "But... if you hurt her… betray her… rob her of her hope. I will rip you apart. Slowly. Painfully and completely."
She raises a hand toward the sky and it screams in response.
Thick black clouds emerge from nothingness, swirling overhead as lightning rips through the sky and the garden whips about in a torrent of spiralling wind. Grass and stone tear from the earth around them as the air warps and reality struggles to maintain its structures in the face of Maribelle's overwhelming power.
[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]
[Threat Detected - Proceed With Caution!]
Just as quickly as the magical chaos started, it ends as soon as Maribelle drops her arm to her side.
"Do we understand each other?" she asks calmly.
He responds with a shivering thumbs up.
She chuckles as she rests a warm hand on his shoulder.
"But... if you can really help her. Make her happy. Keep her hope alive… then… I guess I'd owe you." she says, a hint of a smile edging on her lips.
She strolls back to her garden, snipping another flower stalk wistfully.
"Her six-step plan sounds like a fool's errand." she sighs. "But… maybe I'm just a cynical, old hag that's given up on this world. She believes in it and she believes in you. And when people believe in something, when they really believe… then anything's possible."
She turns to him, lifts a flower to her nose and gives him a coy smile.
"You're good, Pleasure Prince, reallygood. I'll admit it. And Vuvi tells me you're only going to get better. But it will take more than some good thrusting and reinforced hips to save this world."
Pip nods nervously, rubbing together his metal hands as he contends with the woman's words.
"Go, little Prince. Rest. You're gonna need it for what my daughter has planned for you."
