Big Brother

Url Web realized quickly that this city in front of him can't be Fluke, because he didn't see the famous landmarks of Fluke, he had been told of landmarks from which he could recognise it.

"So," he thought. "I have been following the footprints of an enemy."

All unknown cities must be considered as enemy cities. He continued his thought, "This must be the city, where those two warriors I beheaded came from."

How absolutely right he was, he was to find out very soon, because when he saw the city and realized it was not Fluke, he immediately tried to change the direction of his thoat. Url Web had no desire to enter enemy city or be seen by the enemy. But his thoat didn't change its direction. It kept its course right towards the city.

Only when it was too late, Url Web realized that the thoat he rode was trained to return to its home, in case it loses its rightful owner. Url Web had absolutely no control over the thoat. When realising that, Url Web jumped off the thoat and rolled down to the red dust of Barsoom. It was too late anyway. Guards in the city walls had seen him already and recognised him as a stranger, and at the moment armed warriors riding the thoats came out of city port and rode in his direction.

Url saw the men coming, he said to himself: "There's no point to escape." He realized he can't outrun the thoats, nor were there any hiding place around. So he stood at his place calmly and let his sword lay in peace at his waist, it would be no use against so many men.

One man rode in front. Url Web thought that he must be their leader. This man stopped his thoat right before Url Web and said "Kaor! Who might you be? And what are you doing in the lands of Vittu?"

Url Web recognized the name and the marks in the soldiers' belts. This was indeed the same city where those two warriors came. Unfortunately Url Web soon realized that these men can recognize marks as well.

Url Web answered: "Kaor! I am Url Web and I come in peace. May I visit your city as peaceful visitor and world traveller to eat and rest?"

Chief of the warriors seemed to have hard time to keep his facial impressions static, while the other soldiers blew up into laughter. Url Web thought it was a hopeless shot, from their laughter it seemed obvious that these people don't appreciate peaceful travellers too much. Url Web's only hope had been unexpected and brave suggestion, since no-one thought that friendly passengers could even exist in Barsoom.

Chief warrior was up to the joke. "So if you are friendly and peaceful traveller, would you mind to explain us, how come you happen to ride thoats of Pas Ka and Pil Lu?" he asked. "Were they also so friendly, that they gave their thoats to you?"

"Well," Url Web answered, "I met them in peace, but they wanted to kill me, so I had no other choice than cut their heads off, as much as I hated to do it, since I am a peace-loving guy."

The warriors didn't saying to that, so the descendant of John Carter continued:

"The thoats were lost and ownerless, so I thought I should take care of them, until the rightful owner claims them."

Chief looked still calm and said, "Well, I saw you are a clever man and good with words, you must also be a great warrior, if you killed Pil Lu and Pas Ka, and I can also see that you have quite a little brother, so you must be mighty soldier. So you may come to visit our city in peace."

Url Web accepted, even though he wasn't all that sure that his visit will be too peaceful, it was quite obvious from the soldier's laugh that they were expecting something funny waiting for him. But there were no way to refuse. Url Web wondered what the hell was the talk about his little brother, since he had no brother and these people wouldn’t know if he would had anyway. But he didn't feel that this moment would be too good for questioning.

Some soldier had captured the thoats that Url Web previously rode, so he was given the same thoat that he rode before. Url Web rode with soldiers into the strange city, it was beautiful city Url Web thought, all buildings seemed to be artistically decorated and in geometrically perfect order. People come and go in their business, people were really fine looking red Martians, both men and women, no hostility were to be seen, people gave friendly greetings to the soldiers accompanying Url Web, no special interest were pointed towards him. Maybe this is after all very civilized and friendly town, Url Web thought to himself.

Url was taken into palace complex, after they rode to the thoats into the stable, Url and soldiers jump down from their thoats. Url Web tell the chief "You have a beautiful town here, people seem beautiful and friendly, I think I'm going to joy my visit here!" Chief gave a wide grin, while he answered "I am sure you will, my friend." Simultaneously Url Web felt the hit in the back of his head and lost his consciousness, one of the soldiers had hit him from behind and laughed, "Yes, it will be very joyful visit indeed."

Url Web wondered what this arrangement was all about. He was about to ask the other prisoners when the door in the other side of the chamber opened. Four soldiers walk in, dragging a beautiful girl with them. Url Web's heart left a couple of beats undone, when he saw the girl, then his heart started to pump with insanely fast speed.

Url Web could barely believe the beauty of the girl. He watched those long thighs, those wonderful hips above them, that amazingly thin waist and belly, those middle-sized cute hills above them, that noble neck and chin, her perfectly shaped face, that small cute nose, those wide sparkling dark eyes, her long beautifully curved coal black shiny hair and those red lips that just asked to be kissed.

Url Web fell in love in less than a millisecond. While Url Web was still all mixed up with his new found love feelings, soldiers bring the girl right under Url Web and chained her right below him in the floor level. Then the soldiers leave the chamber.

After the soldiers went, Url Web regained some of his normal thinking and he asked the girl below, "Kaor, I'm Url Web of Helium, may I ask you who you are and why you are imprisoned?"

The girl answered, "Kaor, I am princess Vilma Vhenus from Fluke. I was imprisoned because I refused to marry their jeddak. They said that couple of days chained here would change my mind, but nothing will. I heard that I will get some John Carter descendant for my cell mate. They told me that soon I will discover what the famous Carter gentlemenship really is. They said that soon I will appreciate the gentlemanship of their jeddak.”

Url Web said, “Well I am a Carter descendant, it’s true that we are famous for gentlemenship, but I don’t see what they mean otherwise."

Unfortunately, soon he would find out. Url Web talked with the girl more, then Url Web was suddenly afraid that this girl might be too close of a relative, since the last city where Carters were royal was in Fluke. He cautiously asked if there were any royal Carter descendants left in Fluke. Vilma Vhenus answered that in royal family there’s only one, the one that is married with her aunt -- princess Janina Vhenus.

Url Web was very relieved to hear this, since he was ever more and more in love with this girl. Url Web had never been too much of a ladies man, even though everyone called him handsome. Through his infatuation, he remembered his encounter with green thark woman Sarkoja, when he was captured by 23rd Thark community just before he entered the desert separating Fluke from rest of the world. Shivers went down Url Web's spine when he though the green woman, thanks to whom he got away from Tharks.

More talks with Vilma and suddenly Url Web realized that he had a need to empty his bowels. Sudden realizations went through Url’s mind. He had from the first moment from waking up in this chamber smelled the faecals, but that was no news. He knew that Barsoomian prisons don’t have the best of smells. Prisoners are chained into walls and had no choice other than do their needs under them.

Url Web remembered John Carter saying, when interviewed on Heliumian television, that when he was imprisoned for half a year in the Zodangan prison -- charged with escaping the Valley Dor -- that first he made a chair from his own faecals and in the end of his imprisoning he had full-sized bed made from his own faecals. He wrote this into his manuscripts on Jasoom, but his nephew Edgar left this detail off the story as too inappropriate.

Url Web also had already seen prisoners at the other side of the chamber doing their needs right on top of the other one. Url Web felt the terrible feel of fullness in his lower body, his bladder felt like it would explode, his ass felt like burst at this second.

Url had stopped his talking with Vilma Vhenus, maybe the princess realised what is going on also, she had seen what had happened with the other prisoners, probably she realised just as Url Web did what the gentlemenship talk was all about.

Desperation fulfilled Url Web’s mind, he thought desperate thoughts, planned desperate things, he though if he take speed and swing his lower body onwards he could empty his bowels in front of the girl, but he didn’t think he’s fast enough and the rest would drop on the girl. This certainly was the most difficult situation that an descendant of Virginian gentleman could ever face.

Carter had his skin still sunburnt and he thought that he might still fool these men to think that he's a red Martian from this town, but still he wasn't too sure about that and wasn't too interested to enter the room to be seen.

This strange hall both puzzled and disgusted Carter, room was all the time occupied by casual men that came and go, but what these men did bothered Carter. In the hall, there were five holes in the floor, holes were about 30 feet in diameter, at his position Carter didn't saw what there were in the holes, but he could guess.

Carter thought this must be a strange mensroom, because many of the men that came here went by the same hole and pissed into it. But the thing that bothered Carter was that most of the men laughed crazily while they pissed and some didn't pissed at all, but just watched to the hole while others pissed and they have erection. What a strange town Carted thought and hoped that by evening he could escape this hall and steal some food and thoat and escape this town.

One soldier ask laughingly, if Url is in need for using an mensroom, Url answered, "Yes, please!" Men push Url in the very modern looking mensroom, it was traditional Barsoomian mensroom with toilet, mirror and chemical handwashing equipment. There were not enough water in Barsoom to waste in toilets, so the hand washing and the destroying of faecals must be done chemically. Url laughed and cried from joy, when he got to emptying his bowels.

Url washed his hands and step out of the mensroom. Chief of the soldiers asked laughingly "So, did it ease?", Url answered "Yep, very much" Chief still laughed and said "The Biggest is very interested to see you, we have heard that Carter descendants have quite huge little brothers, and judging from you, it must be true."

Little brother again, Url thought. Are these people seeing things? Url asked the chief, "Little brother?"

Man answer, "Yes, it seems that that you have big enough to challenge the Biggest"

"The Biggest?" Url asked.

"Yes, our jeddak," was the answer. "His official title was The Holder of The Biggest, but nowadays he is just called The Biggest."

At the same time Url was lead into the large rounded hall, men were standing all around the hall, there were no chairs, except the throne chair, obviously for the jeddak. Url watched around, there were no women around. The door behind the throne opened, man and two young girls walked in, man sit into the throne and the two girls sat by his feet. The crowd in the hall shouted "Long live the biggest, may your big brother be merciful to us!"

Ceremonial master stepped in the floor and pushed man with him, the half blooded green and red man mix, and the master said here's the half blooded thark Carter descendant. The biggest watched the ten foot long purple coloured four legged ten foot tall man and said, "What an ugly creature, and his little brother does no honour for Carter name, Hul Lu step in and kill him". Strong red soldier stepped in the floor with axe and said "As you wish the biggest, may your big brother be merciful to us", and he faced the purple coloured hybrid saying "Be repaired to die ugly bastard, Hul Lu is going to kill you right now." Ceremonial master cave the purple man a longsword and said, "Battle well, so the big brother would awake and speak to us."

The battle started, Url watched the ugly hybrid, which was allegedly his relative, but he didn't know him. The huge red man swinged his axe, the purple man tried to cover, his purple skin was soon covered with purple blood, he got huge cuts in his flesh, when the red mans axe hit him. Crowd cheered eagerly.

Man has erection when he walked behind the next pillar. Yank off? Carter thought, what's that? But now that he was seen, he stepped into the hall and walked by the rounded hole in the floor. Men greeted him "Hi friend, did it ease?" Carter thought it's best to admit, so he said "Yep!" One man was pissing in the hole, finally Carter got to see the hole, the smell was disgusting, he saw that there were people chained in the wall, the man beside Carter pissed right onto the head of one prisoner.

Disgust filled Carter, he almost jump into the mans throat, but managed to calm himself down. Man said, "Orsom, isn't it?" Carter was filled with rage, he couldn't believe what sort of perverts were these people to torture and humiliate their prisoners like that. Man got his needs fulfilled and he said to Carter "Come on, it's time to go, they have couple of Carter descendants, and they are going to butched them in the arena right now."

"Carter descendants?" Carter asked.

"Yes, come on", man said and walk to the door, Carter follow.

While they walk through hallways, man said, "By the way friend, you got a quite huge little brother, you have big enough to challenge the biggest, if you don't, you should hide it from the Biggest, otherwise he will decapitate your little brother some night in order to make you no challenger."

John Carter didn't have time to ask about the strange little brother talk before they enter the loud room, where were fight was going on.

John Carter looked the fight still puzzled by this town habits. There were badly wounded half blooded green/red man fighting with the strong red man.

The crowd turn to look the throne, so did Url Web and John Carter, the Biggest sit in his chair and his huge organ has erection, the girls in his feet started to satisfied the Biggest's organ, crowd shouted "Speak to us, oh big brother, speak to us!", people watched the Hul Lu and the biggest organ, which got the gentle treatment from the two girls, ceremonial master shout "End him Hul Lu, make the big brother speak."

Hul Lu swinged his axe right to the throat of purple hybrid, the head rolled to the floor, blood spout into the air from cutted veins, people looked the corpse falling to the floor and the biggest, who standed up and simultaneously had ejaculation. People shout "Big brother speaks, big brother speaks, long live the big brother."

As they look this scene, many other man seemed to squirt also, finally the excitement around the room seemed to calm a bit and silence start to fall into the hall.

The corpse of hybrid man was dragged out from the door. The ceremonial master stepped into the floor again and said “Long live the biggest, may your big brother be merciful to us!" He continued, “Oh big brother we have another Carter descendant for you." Url Web was then pushed into the floor. Url Web though to take this sublimely and stand his back straight looking the Biggest.

The Biggest looked at Url, evaluating. Url saw that the look directed into his groin. The Biggest said “Well, this man has quite a little brother, obviously fine Carter line, he deserve to die in the hands of great warrior, Ur Hea step in and show the Carter descendant how to fight."

Url Web saw a huge seven feet tall broadshouldered red man with a grin in his face step into the floor with a longsword, Url though that this man might be too much for him, quickly his brain calculate situation and he shouted “The Biggest is a coward to not fight himself, John Carter and his descendants always their fights themselves, is the Biggest a coward that hides behind bigger men?"

The Biggest stand up and shout “The Biggest don’t fight with foreigners and only those with big enough little brother are entitled to challenge the Biggest” There were some shouts from the crowd like “This man has a big enough to challenge” and “Why don’t you kill him yourself the Biggest, let him feel the wrath of your big brother?" Probably this got the Biggest to decide to take the challenge, he shout, " OK. You got my big brother angry, I will kill you myself."

So the Biggest stepped into floor with his longsword. Ur Hea gave his longsword to Url Web and stepped of the floor back to the crowd.

John Carter saw all this and thought if he should step in and introduce himself as well as challenge the Biggest himself, but the years of inactivity made him thought that this unknown descendant of himself probably had a better chance with the Biggest.

The Biggest swinged his longsword in wide curves, he approach Url Web in rage, he swinged difficult slashes with his sword, Url was forced onto defensive side, Url pushed some hits towards the biggest body when ever seeing the opening. The fight got some time, Url’s good defence nullify the Biggest angry pressuring.

Url saw that the excitement of the fight got strange forms, many men in the crowd got erection, Url watched the groins of the Biggest and saw that he had erection also, Url heard the crowd shouting “The Big brother has awaken, speak to us, oh big brother!". The Biggest again swinged terrible hit towards Url.

Url managed to parry and at the same moment his brain got idea, probably inspired by disgust of this sexually perverted atmosphere or just the fact that his brain saw an opening, suddenly he discovered unshielded body part of the Biggest and with one fine aimed hit he cut the Biggest erected organ off.

The crowd suddenly silenced, the Biggest stopped his attack and watched his groins, Url Web stopped too, maybe his uncanny act shocked himself too, he had never heard anyone doing the same thing in swordfight ever before, even though everyone’s genitals in Barsoom was always naked. Maybe the chock or pain made the biggest collapse to the floor, Url put down his sword thinking if he should end this fight and kill the Biggest now.

Actually it could have been saved if these people would have known about Ras Thavas. The poor former the biggest lost his light of sanity completely after losing the centerpoint of his very being. Man crawled insanely on the floor and no-one take any notice of him anymore.

Ceremonial master shouted "Big Brother is dead, long live the big brother and new The Biggest, may your big brother be merciful to us!", he walked to Url and raised his hand up, like showing everyone who he meant, then he continued "Will anyone challenge new The Biggest? Does anyone have big enough to challenge?"

No-one seemed to have until the man who lead Carter into this hall shouted there is a man with big enough to challenge and pointed John Carter. Carter saw no other opportunity than step on the floor and start to walk towards the throne, he heard man whispering around "Look at that!", "He surely has big enough!" and "Where had he kept that hidden?"

Url Web saw a man approaching until he recognise him and shouted "John Carter!" John Carter stepped to the throne platform and Url Web jumped towards Carter and hug him. “It’s really you, John Carter” Url said. Carter simply answered “Yep”. Crowd was simply astonished to saw a legend himself, no-one seemed to know what to do.

Url Web didn’t had time to change words with Carter, so he said “I have to something immediately,” and run out of the doorway leaving Carter standing alone on the throne stage.

Url run into the prison chamber to free his love, when he got the chains off the lovely princess Vilma Vhenus, the girl hit him into the face shouting "You Ulsio!", and then with other hand "You bastard!" and with an other hand again "You #¤%&¤!"

She was literally pissed at Url Web.

A man walked quietly through the dark secret hallways towards the sleeping chamber that ceremonial master had pointed to Url Web, the new The Biggest. Man wear a long robe and he hold a dagger in his hand.

ViiSas sit at the hole in the wall, it had followed the hated man, now it saw the man getting into the bed and it waited. It knew it couldn't kill the man itself, but it can do something else. It was a wise rat and it realizes which part of the body creates pleasure and was now determined to remove that part from that man.

Dark figure of a man reached the secret small chamber right behind the wall of Url's room, in fact man standed now only a couple of feet’s from the spot where Url Web slept calmly in his bed. Man pushed his hand through the hole in the wall and cut a hole to the wall-painting with his dagger, then he pushed other hand through the hole and searched Url's bed-clothes and then pushed his hand under them.

In the total darkness of the night ViiSas heard that the man has fallen asleep, his breathing has got that slow periodic tone, ViiSas knew the direction of the bed and walked right by it and jumped on it and found its way under the bed-clothes.

The man pushed his hand under Url's bed clothes and continued towards Url's organ tenderly not to wake him, finally his hand reach the target, he took a good hold of it and push his other hand holding the dagger through the hole and to follow the first hand, man quietly whispered "soon the biggest, will no longer be the holder of the biggest."

ViiSas placed Url's legs and follow them up towards his body part, which ViiSas was determined to bite off. ViiSas reach the crossing point of man's legs and couple inches further the reach the sausage-like fleshbite, it followed couple of inches toward the spot it though would be close the root of this organ. Then ViiSas open it's mouth wide and take a strong bite that separated the fleshbite from the body that hold it.

The shadowed man got his dagger to it's destination, when terrible pain hit the forefinger of his hand holding the target. Terrible pain strike through the man's nervous system, he screamed as his finger was separated from his hand, his grip from the target loosened.

Url waked up to the terrible scream and was fully awake in milliseconds, he felt alien hand's under his bed-clothes, inside the second he jumped up from the bed and took a hard grip of the hands and tear them and twist and break the bones from them. More terrible screams filled the air.

ViiSas plunged into the hole in the wall with its prey, it heard the terrible scream behind it, it felt the joy fulfilling it's heart, it had succeed, IhaNa was now revenged. ViiSas walked even more deeper into the hole, there were no more reason to rush or look back. Finally it stopped and ate its prey thinking that strangely this meatpiece doesn't feel as big as it looked at the daylight and it didn't taste quite the same that the one it ate early in the day and this one seemed to have small bones too, but it was soon eaten anyway. ViiSas continued ahead and came outside, it walked toward city walls found a hole in it and was soon in the moonlight of the desert, it started to walk towards it's home, where it knew would be many beautiful Ulsio maidens waiting for their Jeddak.

John Carter was half sleep when he heard the scream from the direction of Url Web's sleeping chamber, Carter never slept full sleep, since he knew to expect problems. In couple of seconds Carter reach the Url's sleeping chamber with the long sword in other hand and short sword in the other, he switched the radium light on and saw Url holding two hands coming from the hole in the wall and dagger and blood in Url's bed, Url however seemed unharmed, the blood came from alien hands.

Url rode ahead with the princess Vilma Vhenus, John Carter let the lovers, as he thought, rode together privately. Url tried to reason with the girl "I couldn't help it, no-one can too long! Surely you understand it! Can’t you forgive me? I love you, my princess!". Girl call him more ugly names and promised that he will be killed, when she told his crimes to her father.

John Carter looked the young couple, warm feelings filled his heart, when he look the cold rejection of the girl. Carter remembered how he'd also pissed off Dejah Thoris when they'd first met, and how hard it was for him to finally win her heart. Carter had no doubt that Url Web would finally win this girl's heart as well.

While looking the young couple, Carter thought how the matters of the heart on Barsoom haven't changed a bit after all. That was so wonderful to see, especially after just visiting the city of sadistic perverts.

Carter didn't realize that the things are not always as simple as they look.
