Garu slowly made his way through the woods, the bull huffing slightly as he tried to get through the underbrush as quickly as possible. He had been running from the ones that had wanted to capture him, and though he could hear their voices continue to shout after him he started to see a glimmer of hope as he continued forward. The worst thing of the situation was he didn't even know why they were chasing him; all Garu wanted to do was take a hike through the mountains and then suddenly a gunshot nearly took his head off and shattered a nearby tree. After that the chase was on and as night began to fall he had no idea where he was, all he knew was that he had to keep moving.

"I'm sorry for whatever I did!" the bull shouted backwards while running. "Just stop chasing me and we can talk it out, alright!?" That only seemed to prompt them to take another shot at him, the bullet once more whizzing by his head as he ducked out of the way to avoid it. As he tried to take another turn to get them to lose the scent he heard a loud rip and felt his sleeve get torn away by a bramble branch that was nearby. Though it was bad for his clothes he realized that it might be a blessing in disguise since it would be much harder for them to continue to chase him full bore if they were crawling through thickets, the idea prompting him to take a turn and crawl his way through the thick hedge of thorny branches to the other side.

That desperate dive through the shrubs unfortunately led him down a steep hill and he immediately lost his footing on the loose soil beneath him. He let out a cry despite himself and tumbled head over heels down the side of the hill, and with nothing he can use to hold onto to try and catch himself he had to just roll as best he could. Luckily the soil was soft and deep the entire way down and cushioned the blows somewhat, though it still knocked the wind out of him as he finally got to the bottom. Though his brain screamed at him to continue to run he found himself still on his back trying to catch his breath and as he did he saw his pursuers on the lip of the hill he just fell down. Though it was clear that they could see him they didn't continue down, instead they stayed there for about a minute before they slowly withdrew back through the bushes they had navigated.

A few minutes passed and Garu continued to lay there, but the only thing he heard was the sound of crickets and saw nothing but the stars above. He slowly got himself up to his feet again and brushed the dirt that he had collected off of his clothes. As he investigated the hill he had rolled down for a potential way back up he could already tell that there was no the way he was going to escape by going up the hill. Even if those that chased him weren't there waiting for him the hill was too steep and the ground too loose for him to climb back up.

"Not that I really knew where I would go anyway..." Garu said to himself with a sigh as he turned to look into the darkness of the woods. "Hopefully there's a road around here somewhere that I can find."

Even though the bull was somewhat experienced at hiking he didn't have his supplies, ditching his bag to get more speed while he was being chased. He did know how to live a bit off the land as he began to push into this new section of wilderness, finding himself in an area that was more like a swamp than the woods he had just spent the last few hours navigating perilously. The ground sank slightly underneath his feet as he moved further in, smelling the pools of brackish water surrounding him as he struggled to remain on solid ground. As he continued to make his way through the swampy area he did manage to find a path, though as he began to pick his way through the terrain with the pools of water on either side a thick fog began to settle in to obfuscate things further.

Garu realized that even if he was still being chased it was unlikely that they would even be able to follow him anymore, which potentially was the reason why they didn't go after him in the first place. As he slowly continued to move through the sodden peat the swampy water began to look even more brackish than usual. In fact as he got to a certain point it didn't even look like water any more, it looked almost like tar. At one point he knelt down near one of the pools that had started to bubble and saw that it looked exactly like that, poking a finger in and pulling up the viscous substance with his finger.

As he held it up in the air he saw that the liquid shined unnaturally in the moonlight, then quickly wiped it off and stood back up. Despite the oddity of the liquid he knew that it was far more important to get out of this strange swamp and back to some sort of civilization. Had he continued to watch the tar pit he would have seen the surface swell towards him before falling back down as though stretching to him. The ripples it created did cause the bull to turn back, but when he saw another bubble form he just assumed that it was just one of them popping.

The longer Garu moved into the swamp the darker it got, eventually losing the moon under the thickening canopy of trees. Soon it became so hard to see that he could no longer move forward without potentially falling into one of those swamp tar pits. He ended up having to put one foot gently in front, testing how solid the ground was before stepping and then repeating it. The bull sighed as he realized that he was going nowhere fast, and even if the sun was high in the sky he wasn't sure how fast he could go with the swampy tar all around him.

Suddenly the bull was nearly blinded as something appeared in front of him, putting his hand in front of his face from the sudden light until his eyes finally got used to it. When he looked again he saw that it was a ball of golden light that floated in front of him. At first Garu was taken back slightly and found himself on guard, but when nothing happened he began to grow slightly bolder and straightened his body up. "Hello?" he asked, slowly reaching out his hand to try and touch the mysterious object.

Just before his hands were able to grab it the light drifted away from him and moved further down the path. Though Garu was still slightly apprehensive at what it was he was thankful that he could now see the solid path in front of him. He immediately realized just how precarious the situation had been, seeing how narrow the ground was bordered by the inky substance on either side. At this point there was little choice for him, he either had to follow the orb and hope that it led him down a safe path or once more risk the pitch darkness of the swamp around him.

Garu ended up taking the former of the two choices and walked behind the glowing ball of light as it continued to drift forward. Eventually the ground beneath him went from wet soil and wood to hardened stone, and though the bovine was grateful for the sturdy footing he frowned when he found himself getting led into some sort of cave. As he continued to make his way deeper down he began to grow weary of where he was being led but at this point there was nothing else he could do. If he left the ball of light he would be in pitch darkness but now in a cave with potentially dangerous terrain all around him.

Finally the bull reached a cavern that was big enough that the orb of light could no longer illuminate the walls, to the point where Garu was surrounded only by shadows and the stone of the floor beneath him. Soon even that became limited, though as he walked he looked down to see that the path had become narrowed and that the rest of the floor had fallen away to a deep chasm. Eventually the orb stopped with such suddenness that the bovine nearly fell forward to stop himself. For a few seconds Garu waited as he stood there in the light of the orb, waiting to see what would happen next only to find that it was nothing.

"So... you going to do anything else?" Garu asked the orb, raising up his hands and waving them around at it only to have it suddenly get snuffed out in front of his face. "Hey! Come back here! You can't just leave me... in... the dark..."

The darkness that Garu had been plunged into was short-lived as the walls began to glow with a purple light. It was faint at first, but the longer he stood there in the darkness the brighter it got. He quickly saw what the source of the light was, huge swathes of bright purple crystals lined many of the walls and provided illumination so great that the entire cavern was completely lit up. Garu let out a gasp as he saw the scope of what he had wandered into. He found himself on a platform that felt like it was suspended over a deep chasm and on the back side of that platform was several slabs of stone that had unrecognizable symbols scrawled all over it.

Was this why those that had chased them stopped, he wondered as he slowly stepped closer to the runes. He could feel the power radiating out from it to the point where he could no longer approach it anymore, stopping about a few feet away as he had to stop and look away from the brightness. Just as he thought to look away, he began to feel something... alien that began to fill the room. It was like a presence that filled the area and started to grow more oppressive than even the runes that continued to shine down on him.

"Do not be afraid..." a voice said that carried that same ancient tones as the presence that had surrounded him completely. "For centuries now I've waited for you, and now you have finally come to fulfill your destiny. Stand tall and proud, for you are the one that will deliver me from this accursed prison and finally bring me into this world as it should be."

The words had such an icy chill to them that it caused the bull to take more steps back until he was in the center of the cavern. "Look, I'm not even supposed to be here," the bull tried to explain as the darkness seemed to thicken around him, save for those runes that continued to glow as they were outlined by the shadows. "Some guys just chased me into your swamp and I followed a ball of light. I am no one's vessel."

"You are foolish to think that your guidance here was not the deliverance of fate," the voice replied with a low chuckle that caused the bull to shiver slightly. "Whether you think you should be here or not makes no difference, you are here now and that is all that matters. Now prepare yourself, my vessel, and prostrate yourself so that I may enter you in mind, body, and soul."

It was clear that this entity had no concern over whether Garu was willing to be the vessel of some ancient deity and that caused him to begin to look for ways out of the cavern. Unfortunately with the increased darkness that surrounded him he couldn't see where the path was that led him in, and as he thought back to where it could have possibly been he could only remember the sheer drop that accompanied either side of the path. Just as he contemplated crawling out on his hands and knees the floor suddenly sank a few inches beneath his feet. At first h thought that it was the platform collapsing but as the veneer of a natural cave floor cracked and dissolved away it revealed an intricately carved obsidian basin underneath.

Garu quickly scrambled over to the edge of the shallow pool and hoisted himself up just in time to turn around and see what was happening to the runes on the wall. The glowing purple symbols began to grow distorted and right before his eyes he saw them begin to drip from the stone down onto the floor. As the glowing liquid began to drain towards the basin he had escaped out of it lost its light but gained a luster to it. It sort of reminded him of liquid rubber, though right now his bigger concern was the fact that this mystery substance was flowing into the pool at an increasing pace and the wall of darkness that had consumed the rest of the cavern was continuing to encroach on him.

"Come to me," the voice said once more, Garu hearing it from the pool now instead of all around him. "Bathe in my essence and become the creature that claim this place and all who dwell within it as their own."

"No..." Garu replied with increased defiance as he stood up from the edge of the pool, watching the purple begin to separate out as the amethyst glow faded away completely and revealed two different colors of the strange liquid. "You can't just take me... even if it takes me a year I'll find my way out of here and you'll just remain a puddle of goo in a cave. I will not submit to you."

At first there was no response to Garu's declaration, only the silence of the darkness around him as the basin continued to fill with the liquid from the runes. Just as he thought to try and make his way out of the basin that contained him the strange glyphs suddenly flashed with a light so intense it threatened to blind the bull, forcing him to look away as a loud crack filled the air. He sat there blinded for what felt like ages before he was able to see again and turned back towards the stones. The runes were gone however, in their place was a pile of rubber with a little bit of the purple fluid leaking out of them still as the red and black rubber started to swirl of its own accord.

Just when the bull thought that he was in a lot of trouble he realized something else that had just happened, the crystals that lined the walls of the cave had started to shine again and had banished the darkness from the area. When he looked back towards the exit he still saw only darkness, but at least he could see the path that led up to it which significantly increased his chances of escape. As quickly as he could he picked himself up and decided to make the risky move of running for the door. Unfortunately he only made it a few feet before he hit the ground hard, the breath being forced from his lungs as something tripped him from behind.

Before Garu had a chance to regain his balance he was suddenly flipped from his stomach onto his back by whatever had grabbed him by the ankle. When he finally regained his breath and was able to look down he gasped when he saw a black and red rubber tentacle continuing to coil up his leg. It had risen up from the basin and looking past it he could see that several others were poised to join in, though the bovine didn't want them to get that chance as he attempted to kick it off of him. His struggle quickly became in vain though as he was jerked back towards the lip of the basin.

"No!" Garu shouted as he attempted to roll around and grab some purchase to keep himself from being dragged into the basin, only to find his fingers sliding against the smooth stone as his body was dragged ever closer. "You can't do this to me! I will not be your vessel!"

The voice's laugh returned suddenly as a rubber tentacle that had continued to slide through the air over his body finally darted down and wrapped around his arm, holding it up to lift him completely in the air so he could no longer wiggle on the floor. "You cannot fight your destiny," the voice said as Garu was pulled over the lip and began to slide down the basin. "Now behold the shaper of your new form!"

Garu shouted as he saw the half-formed creature rising out of the rubber pool, what he could only guess was the head staring at him with a number of bright red eyes on a black latex head. Though it was completely hollow inside he could see the lower jaw able to split and open. and when it did he saw a number of bright red tentacles wiggling inside it. The body of the creature had also molded itself with four sets of leg-like limbs, three red ones and a large pair of black ones with half-formed pincers that continued to droop down and lose their shape. It was clear that this creature was having trouble maintaining its form, which was where Garu's terrified mind knew he would come in as he felt his restrained feet get pulled down into the surface of the rubber goo itself.

The effect was almost instantaneous, the second he felt his hooved feet slide into the liquid latex it began to crawl up his calves. The pants that had been mired and dirty from his chase through the woods were quickly dissolved away and before he could even get a chance to pull himself up he was completely coated up to the knees. Both red and black latex seemed equally eager to cover his thick thighs as the body of the creature itself began to move towards him, swaying and faltering into the surface of the rubber that seemed to continue to gravitate towards him. With one last herculean effort Garu managed to turn his body around and make a dive up towards the lip of the basin, his fingers finding purchase on the side of the pool as he quickly strained to extricate himself out of the creature's clutches.

Before he could raise up past his chest a sudden weight against his back caused him to fall forward into the side of the obsidian bowl, Garu feeling rubber slid against his bare flesh as his shirt and vest quickly fell away to expose his athletic frame. The next second he was pulled backwards and almost fell backwards completely except that whatever was behind him kept him upright, keeping him on his feet even as they felt strange and unwieldy underneath the surface of the latex pool. Just as he continued to try and reach forward to get out he felt pressure against his sides and abs and looked down, his eyes growing wide when he saw those three pairs of the rubber legs wrapped around him. When he looked down he also saw that the shiny substance that had been crawling up his legs began to coat an entirely different spot, Garu sucking in a quick breath between his teeth as the black and red rubber began to slide over the sensitive flesh of his cock.

"You mortals are all alike," the creature chuckled, the voice now close to Garu's ear as he began to feel the latex on his back join with the ooze on his legs to completely cover his backside. "How easy it is for you to succumb when it comes to your baser instincts. Tell me little bull, how long will I have to tease you until you break for me?"

"Never!" Garu shouted, but it was punctuated by a gasp as he saw his cock begin to grow hard, jutting out partially due to the rubber supporting it as this strange creature engulfed it. It didn't take long before it looked nothing like the cock that had been dangling between his legs all his life, the shiny rubber gave it an almost segmented appearance as the living substance started to massage him from the tapered tip to the thick root. Though he knew it wasn't his, that somehow this ancient creature had just covered it, when one of those legs reached down and stroked it he could feel every inch as his body shuddered in pleasure.

Garu was so enraptured by what was happening to his groin he hadn't noticed that something similar was happening to his backside until something began to spread open the ring of muscle between his cheeks. His back arched in surprise as something began to slide inside him, his breath quickly coming in gasps as whatever had been inserted pulsated against his inner walls and stretched him quickly but carefully to maximize the lust that came from it. This creature wasn't just going to try and take his body, Garu grunted as he reached down with his hands in a renewed burst of defiance to try and pull them off, he was going to try to make him enjoy it as well! Even though the sensations that he felt from his lower body, including the rubber that had begun to form overlapping red and black rubber chitin plates, felt increasingly good he knew that if he gave into it this creature would win and he wasn't going to allow that to happen.

As the seconds ticked by and the two creatures continued to do battle it was clear which one had the advantage, the bull huffing and snorting as he watched bright red rubber plates cover his abs and his thin, ropy tail get sucked into the thick tentacle that had formed right above it. As one of his hands tried to grab onto the rubber scorpion tail to prevent that from happening, his body twisted and the heavy black pincer arm that had been behind him the entire time quickly moved forward to encase his free arm. Garu could only watch as the limb was completely engulfed, seeing the outline of his hand press against the shiny surface of the artificial limp before it disappeared completely. With every inch that this suit creature took over his body it caused another synapse in his brain to fire with a burst of pleasure that grew increasingly difficult to ignore.

As the lustrous black rubber continued to flow down his still uncovered hand with Garu still futilely attempted to escape it when he realized something else had started to happen, his feet had begun to move out of the disappearing pool of rubber without his direction out of the basin. The scorpion tail behind him waved languidly in the air as his assimilated arm also began to move of its own accord to hoist his rubber covered body out. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't get his limbs to cooperate, like he was completely restrained even though they moved freely around his body. And the entire time that arousal continued to build, every time he was starting to get used to the buzz of lust that was being created by the suit around his groin his cock got squeezed by the rubber around it, or the suit penetrated him further and pressed against his prostate to give him a mind-numbing jolt of pure bliss.

As Garu's body was raised up out of the lip only his head was able to move, and even that was starting to become hard as he could feel dozens of tiny tendrils slithering their way up his neck towards his head. "Now you see how you were mine all along," the voice said, only this time the trapped bovine found it echoing in the confines of his own skull as several of the red rubber tendrils extended further and made their way into his ears, nose, and mouth. "Your body is responding so well to me, I can't wait to use it to get out of these caves. Do not fear vessel, you will be well taken of for the rest of my reign on the surface as I enjoy using your body to take over everyone that dwells on it."

Even though Garu wanted to try and continue to resist the combination of fatigue and the pleasure that was being pumped into him was starting to overwhelm him. The erosion of his willpower also allowed the alien entity to seep into his consciousness, the last bastion that had made him who he was. This rubber insect didn't just want bodily control, Garu thought as his head began to get engulfed by the one that had continued to move him, this creature wanted him completely. And as the bull's eyes began to roll back into his head from the direct pipeline of potent arousal into his brain he knew deep down that this creature was going to get it as well. His grunts and gasps became muffled as those rubber tendrils spread over his mouth and into his ears while the thick hood came over his head.

Darkness engulfed the bull as he felt that smooth substance push down towards his muzzle, completely coating it as the alien presence continued its domination of his mind. The bull's thoughts became slow and sluggish as the line of latex reached his nose, stopping short of the golden ring that was looped through it as he felt the substance all over his body shift. The limbs that had originally grappled him around his chest moved up slightly and repositioned themselves as Garu could feel this creature settle into all aspects of him. He could almost sense the thoughts of the rubber scorpion suit and knew that meant that it could definitely sense his, as well as also influence them as every time he thought about escape he was given a jolt of pain as punishment but similarly given a surge of pleasure the second he thought about giving in and letting this thing control him.

Soon it became difficult to think of anything at all as he felt himself continue to get moved, though without sight or hearing he had no idea where they were going. "Shhhh..." the voice whispered into his mind. "Rest now, my vessel, you will need your strength to aid me in the time to come. Know that our body is being well taken care of and sleep."

"But... why..." Garu thought mentally, the best way he had of communication as the darkness continued to pull him down deeper into the throes of lust despite the slight bubble of thought he had. "I don't even... know what you are..."

"My given name is one that you would not be able to pronounce even if I gave you my tongue," the creature responded mentally back. "The best that I can come up with given your language is Ry'lek, though you may call me your master. After all, that is what the one who controls such a vessel is usually called, is it not?"

"Yes..." Garu thought, the idea sliding into his thoughts without even realizing it from the creature's words.

"Yes?" Ry'lek replied, bringing with it a note of insistence that Garu could recognize even in his lust-drunk state.

"Yes... master..." the second that the thought left his mind he was given such a torrent of sheer bliss that had he been standing on his own power it would have knocked him to his knees. The dildo-like rubber tentacle thrusted in and out of his hole and his cock was rubbed against by the rubber pincers that covered his hands. This scorpion suit creature knew how to push every one of Garu's buttons, taking what little will power he had and smashing it like a glass against the floor.

"And what are you?" the creature continued to press, keeping Garu in the throes of pleasure but giving him enough ability to think so he could get an answer.

"I'm your vessel!" Garu shouted mentally, his muzzled mouth letting out a muffled grunt as he was doubly rewarded for his answer. At this point the rubber creature needed little to prompt his host, merely sending out a surge of pleasure caused the bull to respond as he was driven to a frenzy. "Use me Ry'lek! Make me yours, please!"

Though the ancient creature didn't respond it was clear that he was going to give Garu exactly what he wanted, even if it was something that he only knew he needed a few minutes ago. The climax was so intense that even the scorpion controlling him had to stop for a moment as he came harder than he ever had before, the rubber suit spurring him onto heights of intense bliss that he didn't even know existed. The fires of passion melted his mind as he felt the pincers, the other legs, and even his prehensile rubber scorpion tale stroking all along his body in order to draw it out as much as possible. Finally Garu gave out and what had remained of his awareness of the situation dropped away, completely lost to the will of the creature as he faded into unconsciousness...
