When Vivid stepped through the portal to the other side he found himself on a cliff face overlooking a large coastal city in the distance. "I chose this planet specifically so we can have a little fun," Renzyl said with a grin as he overlooked the city. "That's because this isn't technically a planet, it's more like a number of planets that all occupy the same space, but in different extra-dimensional frequencies which result in people appearing and disappearing all the time. Because of this some of my brothers and I have Collectors that often use this area for practice or for trying to collect a trophy or two, which is why we call this place the Collector Training Grounds. Speaking of such things, I have a special guest that should be arriving any moment now, I did tell him to meet us here, after all."

Vivid looked around to see if he could spot the mystery guest that was supposed to be joining them but didn't see anyone around their area. Suddenly; however, he felt a pair of hands press against his shoulders and then a second pair pressed against his sides, and when he looked up he saw they both belonged to a rubber horned lizard looking down at him with a toothy grin. As Vivid looked him up and down he realized that his scales didn't shine like Renzyl's body, in fact they seemed to absorb light to make him blend in even better to the surrounding darkness like a shadow. "Caught ya already," the heavily-muscled reptile said before he looked over at Renzyl. "Apologies for bein' late, had to take care of a few things with one of my trophies before I got here."

"No need to fret, Scythe," Renzyl replied with a measured grin as Vivid looked between the two. "Vivid, I would like you to meet Scythe, one of my best Collectors and the leader of his squad. Scythe, this is Vivid, he's been accompanying me for a while now and we're just about to return home, so I'd like to make his last day extra special."

"Fair enough to me, my Lord," Scythe replied. "What's the plan?"

"That is something for us to discuss in a bit," Renzyl explained before he looked down to the vulpine. "Right now we have to send Vivid on his way in order to conduct our demonstration." He moved over to the fox and handed him a card that Vivid looked at for a few seconds before putting it in his pocket. "That has more than enough of this planet's currency on it in order to get you into any hotel you want and do whatever you want for as long as it takes Scythe to find and capture you, but once he does the exercise is over, alright?"

"That's... very vague," Vivid replied. "Am I supposed to be hiding or something? What do I have to look out for?"

"That's all part of the surprise," Renzyl explained as he ushered Vivid on his way. "Now go on, it's a big city and you got a lot of exploring to do, there should be a path to the left there that leads directly down into the city. Just try not to be too conspicuous down there, I would hate for Scythe to find you too easily."

Vivid tried to prod a little bit more information about this game he was playing but Renzyl and Scythe remained tight-lipped about the whole affair, which caused the vulpine to just shrug and walk away from the two rubber creatures. As he made his way down the path that Renzyl had told him about he waited until they were out of sight before he took the card out of his pocket and looked at it. While it didn't have a specific amount on it the rubber dragon said that it was enough for any hotel that he wanted. But as he continued to strategize he realized that it was likely in this world that luxury hotels were few and far between, which meant if he splurged on such a thing that he would be found really quick.

As he continued to try and determine what he would do the tree-line opened and he suddenly found himself inside the city limits, the forest floor replaced with well-maintained grass as he walked into the park. One of the things he saw when he left the woods was a machine that apparently made new identifications for those that were new to the world. "Renzyl wasn't kidding when he said they had a problem with dimension hopping," Vivid said to himself as he walked up to the machine and looked around it.

"New citizen detected," the machine suddenly chirped. "Please enter your name and pay the processing fee for your new identification. Failure to register with the National Identity Bureau could result in punishment up to and including imprisonment."

Well that doesn't sound good, Vivid thought to himself as he looked at the input screen that flashed to type in his name. He started to type his own but stopped at the third letter, realizing that this was an opportunity for him to throw Scythe off of his trail even more. He thought about it for a few moments before he typed in the name Bastien, something that hopefully will be enough to throw the Collector off. After he paid the fee his new card came out and when he looked at it he frowned when he saw his own picture on it. At this point it couldn't be helped, he realized as he began to move his way further into the city.

That night Vivid had checked himself into one of the largest hotels he could find. While it wasn't the fanciest in the city, there were so many rooms that it would take Scythe years to try and find him if he went door to door. Plus his identification seemed to hold up as well, so as far as he knew he was completely anonymous. Still... as he ate the room service he had ordered he had the uneasy feeling he was being watched.

Vivid just shook his head, there was no way that the Collector would have been able to find him this early. Although as he continued to sit there he began to wonder if he had powers similar to Renzyl with the ability to create portals or something like that. What if he could pick him up by scent alone? Or if there was some sort of astral signature that he could sense?

The questions continued to flow into Vivid's mind even as he went to sleep, and when he got up the next morning he found himself as he was. With no concept of how this game works other than an elaborate game of hide and seek, Vivid found himself without a clear course of what to do. Of course that was likely the whole point as those who were normally in Scythe's crosshairs didn't even know they were a target. After a few minutes of debate he decided to check out for the day and move to a different hotel.

With it being a busy street during the day the vulpine figured that the rubber reptile wouldn't think to snatch him now. Of course that didn't stop him from occasionally glancing at the reflections in the buildings as he moved from place to place to enjoy the sights. It felt strange doing it without Renzyl by his side, but he still enjoyed his time out in the bustling city. As the sun began to set he was walking through an outdoor mall when he heard someone get his attention. He looked around for a bit before he saw a human at a vendor stand selling snacks that was waving him over.

"I have something for you," the vendor said as he gave Vivid a package of rice balls.

"Well... thank you, I guess," Vivid replied as he looked at them. "Can I ask why you're giving this to me?"

"Someone already bought and paid for them," the human explained with a shrug. "Said that if you see a white-furred fox with a pink marking on his muzzle that you should give him a package of rice balls and a message."

"Oh..." Vivid replied as he felt his stomach sink slightly. "...what's the message?"

"He just said he'll see you soon," the vendor said as he handed the fox a drink as well. "Oh, and that he looks forward to catching up with you."

Vivid swallowed hard and thanked the vendor for the treat, then once he had stepped a few feet away he began to scan the area for any sight of the creature. Had his identity already been blown? No, he thought to himself as he unwrapped one of the rice balls and ate it, if that was the case he would have likely thrown the name he had used in there to further boast of his prowess. But with accepting the gift he may find out that he was in the area and Vivid quickly made his way down to the mass transit system. Using Renzyl's card he took the train that was the farthest from the location he had been in, then once more found one of the largest hotels he could and checked in with his fake identity.

When he got up to his room Vivid quickly went and closed all the blinds to the room to make sure that no one could see him. At this point there was little else he could do unless he wanted to try and keep switching hotels through the night, which meant that he would get no sleep. The vulpine could feel his heart race as he ate the rest of the rice balls that were given to him while he turned on the television. After an hour or so he ordered real food and when the knock on the door came he was just about to open it before his hand paused.

"Who is it?" Vivid asked wearily.

"Room service," a voice replied. "I have what you ordered, would you like me to bring it in for you?"

Could this be another trick from Scythe, Vivid wondered as he looked through the peephole. On the other side was a stallion in a hotel uniform with a tray of food that was presumably his. "That's okay," Vivid said as watched the horse. "I'll come by in a few seconds to pick it up, you can go. I'm sure you're busy and such."

"It's really no trouble sir," the horse replied as he smiled.

"I said I'm fine," Vivid replied while he continued to stare at the equine. "Thank you, though, I'll be sure to leave a large tip for your prompt and well-mannered service."

Those were the magic words, the horse gave a shrug and told Vivid to have a good evening before he walked away. Once the fox was sure that the other male was gone he slowly opened the door and looked around before he grabbed the tray and wheeled it inside. He carefully inspected the cart and the food before he ate, then continued to watch the movie he had found. After another hour or so he decided to call it a night and head to bed, thinking if he woke up early enough he would be able to continue to evade the horned lizard once again...

When Vivid awoke once again he found himself surrounded by the pitch darkness of night. As he tried to get up to see what time it was; however, he found that he was not only unable to move his arms, but that they were bound behind his back. This caused a surge of adrenaline to wake up Vivid as he felt his legs getting bound together with the unmistakable feel of rubber against his fur as he tried to squirm. When he attempted to call out he realized he couldn't open his muzzle either, tight straps binding it into place as he started to thrash about.

"Looks like someone woke up," a familiar voice chuckled in the darkness. "Just as well, we're almost done prepping you for transport."

Vivid tried to ask what that meant but once more, the muzzle stopped him from getting out more than a grunt as his naked body continued to get handled by the Collector. With both sets of arms working in tandem the last of the bindings around his arms and legs were completed at the same time, the straps tight against his appendages without being uncomfortable as Vivid couldn't even squirm anymore. Once it was clear that he was completely immobile Vivid felt something press against his face with a similar rubber texture as it slid down his skull towards his neck. With the rubber straps already in place from the muzzle, the second layer fit snugly over it without much need for adjustment.

Once the hood had been secured around the fox's neck he felt the Collector pick him up with ease and shift him on the bed, moving onto a sheet of slick rubber that Vivid felt get folded over on top of him. Scythe moved with extreme efficiency as he tucked in the sheet until it had formed a sack around his entire body, completely covering the fox save for the air hose that had been put there to allow him to still breathe. As soon as the last bit was put into place he felt the latex tighten around his body and pull him into a ball as it pressed against his already restrained body like a second skin. When it was finished the vulpine couldn't even wiggle anymore, only muffled gasps could be heard from the air hose that stuck out from the hood as the Collector made sure his prey couldn't escape.

"Now normally I don't do this," Scythe whispered as Vivid felt something press against the rubber that was pulled taut against his rear. "But since you're such a special case I think we can spare a few minutes for a little extra fun, right prey? Just go ahead and nod if you disagree."

Vivid started to groan at the bad restraint joke, but that quickly turned into a moan of pleasure as he felt something begin to slowly push inside his rear. The rubber member was thankfully lubricated, especially since with his legs both bound and suctioned together he was unable to do anything but attempt to relax the ring of muscle there to allow the horned lizard in. As he began to feel the slick shaft of the bigger male slide into him all the fox could think about was how many others experienced such a thing without knowing anything, bound up by a stranger in latex in the middle of the night. The sheer thought caused a shudder of pleasure, which was heightened by the feel of a set of hands against his thighs while Scythe continued.

The latex that Vivid was imprisoned in creaked and stretched as the horned dragon continued to thrust into him, the fox unable to do anything but take it. With his senses deprived due to the thick rubber the only thing that the fox could do was feel the feel of latex on latex as four pairs of hands roam over his body while the thick cock continued to spread him open. The bed shook from the force of the latex horned lizard as Vivid could imagine the outline of his rubber clad body laid there with the muscular male fondling his body while he had his way with his prey. Time lost all meaning for Vivid until he felt the bigger male cum inside him, hearing the muffled grunt of the horned lizard before he stopped his thrusts and eventually pulled out.

***************************************

A few minutes later Vivid found himself set on the ground once more, followed by the release of the latex from his body. Once the sheet fell away from him the hood was removed followed quickly by the restraints on his arms and legs. When he got his sight back he immediately looked around and found himself in some sort of secluded park area, one where had he not known Scythe, might have thought he was about to get murdered or something like that. When his arms and legs were finally free Vivid reached up and took off the last piece of gear himself, the muzzle falling off of his face and onto the ground.

"That wasn't too bad," Scythe complimented as he handed Vivid back his clothes. "You evaded me longer than most, and the fake name thing was a nice touch. I thought for sure I'd get you on the first night."

"Well luckily I happen to know a thing or two about aliases," Vivid replied with a grin as he pulled his shirt back on. "So is that what all your victims get to experience right before they're carted off to Renzyl's realm?"

"More or less," Scythe replied with a smug grin. "Sometimes I use traps or other means to get them, but in the end they all get bundled up and brought back to my realm. Since this was just a training exercise, we're going to do be doing something a little different."

Vivid cocked his head slightly in question as the four-armed latex lizard handed him the equipment that had just been on him a few minutes ago. "We're going to go on a hunt together," Scythe continued to inform him. "See how well you can do on the predator side of things. I'll come along to help and guide you, of course, but in the end you're going to be the one that takes him. To help you with that mission Renzyl has given you some equipment of his own in order to help you out, all you have to do is focus on those cuffs that you've been wearing around for quite a while."

It took a second for the vulpine to remember he even had those cuffs on as he looked down at the shiny rubber that was wrapped around his wrists. Even before he closed his eyes he could sense the power that was encased within and brought it to the forefront, releasing Renzyl's magic. The effect was almost instantaneous as the cuffs began to ooze more of the shiny black substance over his fur. It seemed to coat each strand individually as it spread over his arms, assimilating every inch of him while it spread over his body like wildfire. Vivid bit his lip as the magic came with a strange feeling of euphoria with it, particularly as it covered his crotch before spreading down his tail and legs.

When the magic had run its course Vivid turned his head until he saw a nearby pond and moved over to it, which with his new form had a smooth gait to it. When he got to the water he looked down and saw a red-eyed, black-latex-furred fox with a pair of spiraled horns that grew out from behind his vulpine ears. He couldn't help but admire himself as he rubbed his hand over the horns, which also turned out to be rubber as well as he looked himself over from head to toe. Other than the fur, horns, and eyes the only other things that seemed to change were his tail and feet, both of which had grown thicker and more reptilian as Scythe walked up to join him.

"Renzyl said to apologize in advance if your body is a little too draconic for your tastes," Scythe explained as Vivid leaned down and traced a finger of the glowing red markings that used to be pink on his body. "As much as he wanted you to be all fox for this one it couldn't be helped, can't get a demon's power without gaining some of his features as he says. Now if you're quite done admiring yourself, we got work to do."

Vivid gave himself one last good look before he pulled himself away from his own reflection so that he could follow Scythe through the back pathways into the city proper once more. As they walked back into the nearly empty city streets Scythe gave him some pointers on what he had done to track the fox through the city. He explained that he had originally tracked Vivid to a certain area through astral scent, something that Vivid had mused was a possible tool in the horned lizard's hunting book. Unfortunately the area was rather large, so what he did next was go around and find every vendor in the area to relay a message to Vivid, and at that point it didn't matter what the message was because the main idea was to spook the vulpine into running. Then all he did was monitor the transit stations until he saw Vivid walk by in a panic and follow him to the hotel where he snatched him right up.

As the fox listened he was impressed by the levels of intricacy that the Collector had gone through in order to spook and corner his prey. Now apparently it was his turn as they finally got to an area that had people in it, what appeared to be an outdoor concert of some sort that was in full swing. "Now I already did a bit of the leg work and tracked him down to this area," Scythe explained. "I've narrowed it down to someone in this crowd. Now the person that you're looking for is going to be a little easier because he likes to be dominated and has an affinity for bondage and rubber, with a peculiarity for multiple layers and total encasement, which means that it won't take nearly as much sweet-talking to get him where you need to go."

"I suppose I do have the body for it," Vivid commented. "What does he look like?"

"Oh we aren't goin by looks," Scythe said with a grin. "There's a reason I told you what I told you, and it'll become clearer the closer we get to some people."

Once they got a little closer to the crowd Vivid could see what the rubber horned lizard meant as he looked at them with his red-tinted vision. When he concentrated on a particular person or people he could start to feel like what they'd be into, with his arousal building when he saw compatible likes and cooling when he turned to someone who didn't. It must be how Renzyl finds his minions, Vivid thought to himself as he continued to look around, though with such a large crowd he wasn't sure how he was going to find the one person that he needed.

"Now that you've gotten a taste of identifying the wants and desires of others," Scythe explained, "you are going to need to hone in on those that have the ones in particular that we're looking for. Remember what I told you about him and focus on that, particularly if you think he might be displaying any predominantly here. You'll get a few dings in the radar but you want to find the strongest, that'll be the one that we want."

"This is incredible," Vivid said as he tried to concentrate on the ones that their prey exhibited. "Is this what you do to track your prey? And how is it that no one has called us out on our looks since we got here?"

"Well the reason for that is that our kind don't make much of an impression in the minds of those that we pass by," Scythe explained as they began to follow the trail Vivid laid out. "Would be a bit hard to try and stalk someone that would immediately see a huge four-armed rubber horned lizard, so we do our hunting and night when our scales soak in the shadows and blend with them. As for your other question I do track in much the same way, though the abilities you're getting from Master Renzyl are far more potent than my own."

Vivid grinned as he saw some particularly interesting affinities and kinks float to the top of what people were thinking. Eventually he caught the trail of a sub with the other peculiarities that they needed to find. It was almost intoxicating how much fun it was to be on the hunt, prowling around knowing your prey has no idea that you're coming for them. Vivid began to flash back to just a few hours when the roles were reversed and practically started to salivate at the thought of some twinky little male bending to his will as Scythe bound him up for the journey home. When they finally found him; however, the mental image shattered in the vulpine's mind as they laid eyes on their target for the first time.

The zebra was huge, at least a head taller than Vivid and with more muscle than Scythe and possible on par with Renzyl himself as he danced with a few other guys near the stage. "That's... not what I was expecting," Vivid said in slight awe. "How in the world are we supposed to take down someone like that?"

"I would not recommend physically," Scythe replied with a grin as he slapped two hands on Vivid's shoulder. "Normally I would do what I did for you and wait until he was asleep to start wrapping him up, but you have the power of the rubber dragon, so I'm sure you'll think of something. Besides, from the description that I was given I think he's just a big softy, just do what Renzyl does and promise him everything."

Vivid just nodded and began to move forward, then stopped and turned around. "Wait a second," the rubber fox asked. "What do I do after that?"

"...you give it to him." Scythe replied with a grin.

Vivid swallowed hard and continued forward, heading up to the zebra that continued to dance with the music. The fox was not sure how he was going to do this, though he knew that it would have something to do with what the zebra preferred. He had to get up on his tiptoes in order to get the male's attention, but as soon as the zebra turned around to see Vivid the male's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hello there," Vivid said as he mustered all the confidence that he could to put up a front. "I saw you strutting your stuff and was wondering if you wanted to give me a private dance there."

To the fox's surprise the zebra looked around at the others that were around him before he held his muzzle. "Uh... sorry dude, but I'm not like that," the zebra said as he seemed to flex his muscles almost subconsciously before he turned. "Hey guys, I gotta go take a leak, be right back. And for you I'm sorry dude, cool costume by the way."

As the zebra briskly walked off the grass and over to the public park restrooms Vivid just stood there in dumbfounded shock. He frowned when he wondered if he had just failed in his seduction already, replaying the very brief conversation in his head. Was it the pick-up line he used? Or was he just some musclebound bro that just like to dance and wasn't into guys? The only strange thing is the initial reaction he gave him, which got him thinking as he thought about what the zebra had said...

A few minutes later Vivid had entered the bathroom as well, and when he saw that there was only one stall and no one else was there he slowly locked the door. It was just a hunch, but Vivid confirmed it when he heard the soft grunts of the zebra male in the stall. When the fox was sure that it was the sound of his target he deliberately made a noise to announce his presence. There was a slight yelp and then the entire bathroom became deathly silent.

"You know I wondered why you left so quickly," Vivid said with a smirk on his face as he started to move forwards the stall. "The second you saw me I bet I got you all in a huff, seeing a rubber creature such as myself, and then looking around to see that no one else seemed to notice. As soon as I made a pass at you I know you wanted me, but you couldn't do anything about it in the crowd, so you decided to come here instead to... take care of things, am I right?"

Vivid slid an extension of the latex on his finger to undo the clasp and opened the stall door. There the muscular zebra sat, his pants around his ankles and his fully erect cock in his hands. "My gods..." He gasped as he ran a hand over Vivid's latex fur while the other continued to keep a grip on his hard shaft. "You're actually real... you're..."

"Rubber," Vivid replied with a grin as he realized he had just cornered his prey. "I'm the answer to all your dreams, and there's no one around, so no reason to keep up the tough guy act. Now if you want to do something other than jerk off in a public restroom tonight, let me go ahead and take care of that sexy body of yours, becoming my muscle stud."

It was clear that his words were having a profound effect on the zebra as he continued to stroke himself for a while. The smirk on Vivid's face grew wider as he took his latex paw and began to stroke him as well, which only caused the zebra to huff as the fox asked him his name. "Name's Hans," the muscle man said. "I've never done anything like this before... I've only ever looked at pictures before, I never actually thought it would ever happen."

"Dreams can come true," Vivid replied. "Now why don't you come out there and get naked for me, we're going to have ourselves a show."

The bigger male nervously nodded and the fox watched with a swell of pride as the zebra took the pants that were already at his feet and kicked them off. It was a rush that such a powerful creature was submitting to his will, and it had only just begun as he instructed the naked creature to put his hands on the sink. Hans let out a soft gasp as he felt a rubber harness get slipped over his mountainous pectorals and down his abs, grunting as Vivid tightened it. Once he was done with that Vivid formed more straps and bracers out of the cuffs he wore, the gear materializing from it as he put it on the equine's body.

"Looks like someone is getting very excited," Vivid said as his free hand stroked the throbbing maleness that rested below the sink. "Such a slutty zebra, you're going to make an excellent mount. I think the pony deserves a little treat, and while I do, put your hands behind your back."

Vivid took his rubber cock and gave it a few strokes, the synthetic material slickening with natural lubricant as the fox formed the next piece. Once again it was a series of straps that went around his wrists, thighs and groin before ending around his cock itself, the zebra whinnying from it as at the same time Vivid began to push his head between those thick cheeks. As the fox began to push deeper inside the equine he felt two different types of pleasure, of both the sensitive flesh sliding into the male's hole and the thrill of dominating and restraining his prey. The final piece of the initial gear was a muzzle just like the one Scythe used on him as he slid the thick latex over his head.

"So good..." Hans managed to say as the rubber conformed around his muzzle., the straps tightening to keep his maw shut. Every muscle in the zebra's body oozed with lust as it twitched to the pleasure that Vivid gave him and the rubber on his body. As the fox began to pound into the muscle slut's tailhole, Vivid suddenly felt two pairs of hands come up from behind him.

"Very good job," Scythe said as his muscular chest pressed against him. "I love it when they let you bind them all up for you to ship off." When Vivid looked in the mirror to see Scythe it was a surreal reflection he saw; a bound, muscled male and a rubber fox with glowing red eyes behind him with a latex horned lizard behind him. As Scythe began to push himself underneath Vivid's tailhole he added the final touch to the zebra in front of him, holding out his hands as two strips of rubber emerged from them and began to wrap around the muscular male in front of him.

Vivid grunted as he was suddenly caught in the middle, the horned lizard's rubber cock getting pushed deeper inside him every time he pulled out of the zebra in front of him. All the while the rubber continued to wrap around Hans' body, which caused him to squirm as it wrapped around his head and neck to envelop it completely. The restrained male let out a muffled grunt as the rubber mummification continued downwards, and even went around Vivid's cock while Scythe caused him to push even deeper in the other male. "So..." Vivid grunted as he continued to get sandwiched between the two walls of muscle. "How do we get out of this bathroom with him?"

"Well that I'm going to leave to you," Scythe said as he held out a leash in front of Vivid. "There's a reason that he still has his legs freed. Of course, that's after we have our fun...

************************************

When Scythe and Vivid walked back up the hill with their charge in tow towards the spot where it all began, the two were surprised to see that he was not alone. With him was a creature of a similar size and stature to Renzyl, except his features were crocodilian in nature and his skin shined oddly. It wasn't like rubber but was definitely unnatural, and when Vivid got closer he swore he could smell... chocolate? "You two are just in time," Renzyl said with a grin as both of them stood up. "Vivid, this is my brother Jerkah, he's been running a few of his Collectors through their paces here, too."

"A pleasure," Vivid said as he shook the crocodile's hand, definitely smelling the presence of chocolate. "Renzyl has been amazing to travel with."

"So he's told me... repeatedly," Jerkah replied with a smirk as he shot a look at Renzyl, then back to Vivid. "In any case he tells me that you have a passion for cooking, and since you have to go back to your world through one of our realms, anyway, he thought that it would be fun for you if you made it mine. Then before you leave we could go through a few tricks of my trade to see how good of a cook you really are."

"Well, of course!" Vivid replied enthusiastically. "I can think of no better way to end my time here."

Jerkah nodded and with a wave of his hand opened a portal of his own, walking through it with Renzyl. Vivid was about to do the same when he noticed that Scythe was staying behind and asked if he was coming along. "Nah, that's not my place," the rubber horned lizard said. "Plus I got to be gettin' back to my cabin, make sure everyone is still cozy and put this one in the table. You have fun, Vivid, hope you enjoyed exploring the nexus realm!"
