Reborn (NSFW)

Played around with brush settings a bit, so that it looks more painterly than my usual neat and refined style. I hope you guys like it, anyway ^_^

I had to take a break from commissions for a while so I can draw something from my own imagination, and I bring you this limbless, futuristic beauty.

Welcome, new Patrons and members! Especially to our ever growing NSFW amputee community! I hope you enjoy my simple trove of limbless girls. ^_^

Thank you for all of you who have been with me from the start, for being awesome and supportive.

Finally, thank you for all your awesome entries for our Poll on Nov. 8, boy will it be hard to choose, I hope you're all excited!

"Reborn"

"Simply put, your consciousness will be transferred into the brain of this "surrogate" body and it may not be reversed." Horne explained. "This is the only shot we have, and I may loose you if you do not pull through" Xena continued to gaze upon the limbless form encased in a cylinder glass chamber. The body was beautiful. It was not human, yet, for it had no soul. Only a clone, a mere vessel. Nonetheless, this was a rare one, perhaps the only one there is. She and Horne had managed to extract it from their previous mission. It was a daring feat and one that cost them their contract and put them in danger. But now they had to finish what they started.

"Xena, are you sure about this?" Horne could not erase the worried look from his face, seeing his partner wanting to undergo an irreversible procedure to augment her body. "Yes, Horne, there is no othere way" Xena reached and touched her buddy's face and tried to give him an assuring look. "I'd rather be limbless and human. I want us to have a family" The middle aged man took and held her hand in his. She could not feel his warmth, nor could he feel hers because her hand was made of carbon and steel, just like the rest of her body. Even her face did not bear any expression. It was lifeless and cold as it should be, but her eyes, they gaze into Horne's being, and he feels her presence.

Xena was, in every way, a synthetic. Her mind comprised of complex nano circuits and micro chips that allowed her to process near life like human cognitive functions. However, for all the complexities it required to mimic the human soul, this particular synthetic somehow managed to evolve beyond her mechanical limitations, and for once, a synthetic felt real emotions. Whether or not this was just a subjective experience, it did not matter, because she met Horne, the mechanic that painstakingly maintained her and kept her "alive" in a time when her kind was considered a threat to humanity and therefore had to be eradicated.

"Partner" She uttered as she clasped his hand in hers. Horne smiled but his eyes were teary. "We're in this together" She reached out and hugged the anxious man. "See you on the other side, Xena" Horne squeezed and let go. "There is no guarantees this will work, but it is all up to you now" The mechanic began his routine, typing codes and hitting a few buttons which made the machines hum and light up with neon lights. He straps the Synthetic on a special contraption and plugged some wires into her. In a moment her eyes shut and her movements ceased. "Xena, can you hear me?" A brief moment of silence made Horne uncomfortable. He checked the wires and the codes and asked again. This time text appeared on his screen. "Hi, nerd" It was Xena alright, and she is online and in her usual sarcastic nature. "Xena you need to stay awake and keep thinking, alright?" she gave her affirmation and with that, the mechanic pressed the start button and began uploading her consciousness into the surrogate body in the chamber. For more than an hour, the two played video games and talked just to keep Xena's computer active while the process was on going. It was necessary that she must be engaged- not doing so might result in loss of data and memory.

Suddenly Xena's chess pieces remained static. Horne checked his monitor for signs of consciousness and seemed normal, however his partner does not respond to his prompts or verbal communications. He started to worry and frantically searched for the problem. In his panic he did not notice that the process had completed already. "No no no!" He checked the wires and the monitors once more. "Xena, can you hear me?" He repeated until his hope eventually faded. He went over to the glass chamber, The fluid had been drained and he could see the contraptions clicking and retracting. "Please be there" he prayed.

He stood and waited anxiously as the screens light up again and showed vital signs. "She is alive!" He thought. This gave him a little hope, but the body is a mere vessel, he wanted to know if his Partner was still there. The chamber had fully opened up and the contraptions lifted. Steam rose and fluids dripped, Xena's body looked perfect and seamless, glossy and full of life, except of course that it did not have limbs. But her eyes. When they finally opened they wandered and the girl seemed unaware of her partner's presence for a while. She looked dazed.

"Xena" Horne never felt so nervous in his life. It was as if he was handed a newborn baby. But this was more intense for him. This was his partner. his soon to be wife! The girl finally turned her head. She looked almost like a doll, but this worried Horne even more. He glanced at the monitors that showed graphs of brain activity. There were small blips, and then it moved more eratically. A surge of excitement ran through the mechanics body as he leaped and turned to face her partner. She is here, she is back! She blinked her eyes and instinctively tried to rub them making her shoulders jerke and and move. "My eyes are blurry" She croaked. Her voice shook.

"You're not used to your body" Horne said as he excitedly approached the confused newborn. When he got close enough, he was in awe. She looked just as they both imagined. Her green eyes glowed and her smile was sweet, albeit a twitchy one. Her muscles moved jerkily. "Hi, handsome" She greeted her partner who was close enough for her to clearly see through the steam. "Hi, Xena. We made it!" The girl leaned forward and tried to hug her partner. But the machine automatically held her in place before she fell and hurt herself. "This will take some getting used to" She snuffled oh Horne's chest. He just kissed her in response. "How are you feeling?" the girl's breathing eased and they were both silent, only the machines can be heard humming in the back ground. The lifeless contraption bore into her skin causing minor discomfort. The static and monotonous hum made her ear buzz as she long for other sounds. That's right, She hears her lover's heart beat. his chest on her face. His lips on her hair. even the strange contraption that was on her crotch. She inevitably found herself grinding against it. It made a curious sensation that she wanted to explore further. She looked up and saw his eyes through her own biological set of eyes. Imperfect and raw, without any symbols or data flashing in her view. She is different. She is now what she always wanted to be. Horne held her and she opened her lips to speak and answer his question. "I...." for the first time that one word felt so personal. her own voice vibrate in her throat. "I feel"

She did not need to say any more. To feel. Indeed, it was all she ever needed to finally become... Human.

End!
