When Garu awoke once more he found that his body was sitting down and that his rubber skin... the rubber skin of the creature he reminded himself, felt like something warm was on it. As the sleep that he had taken began to wear off he began to sense that they were there because Ry'lek needed rest, something that he didn't even know the rubber scorpion needed. He attempted to move his limbs to see if he could control anything but once more it appeared that the creature was in control of him. The attempt to move did seem to rouse his master that he had awoken, the darkness shifting as the creature turned his thoughts inward to regard him.

"I see that you are finally awake," Ry'lek said mentally. "Any longer and I would have started to assume that I was dragging a corpse around."

Though Garu was fairly certain that the entity had meant it as a joke, it brought the gravity of the situation back down on him like a ton of bricks. It was clear this creature had zero intention of letting him go and as far as he could see there was no escaping him now that he was fully encased in it. Would he be trapped in this black, soundless prison for all eternity, he wondered as he felt his body get shifted slightly. As though to answer his question his vision was suddenly filled with brightness, something that would have caused him to turn his head away as the white light quickly faded away to reveal the outside world.

Though the bull couldn't move his head to look around the rubber scorpion suit was more than happy to oblige him, and though Garu found his vision slightly segmented, like he was looking into a broken mirror, it was actually providing him a better view than he ever had with his normal eyes. It was clear they had left the cave and from the looks of it the swamp that he had been trapped in as well, the sun radiating down on them causing the shiny rubber plates on his body to glisten. They were in some sort of fallow field, Ry'lek resting under the shade of a singular tree on a small hill. As his hearing was restored as well he could hear everything around him while the rubber creature stood him up and walked him over to a nearby pond.

For the first time since he had wandered down into the caves Garu was able to see what had happened to him, and what he saw stunned him. The only part of his body that was uncovered was the tip of his muzzle, the gold ring in his nose glinting in the light as it was surrounded completely by rubber. He also saw why his vision was so strange as six red shining eyes were arranged in a circle around a bigger central one that blinked as they continued to look at the reflection. Other than that any indicator that he was a bull was gone, lost in the thick plates of black and red rubber as the pincers on his arm began to stroke his body. Even his feet looked bug-like as he stood on the thickly clawed balls of his feet to make him look even more insect-like while his tapered cock began to slide out of its slit.

As he continued to stare down at himself Garu realized that just the sight of his new body was causing Ry'lek to get turned on, feeling those emotions almost as if they were his own. Those glistening rubber muscles, the heavy, deadly claws that were his hands, and the thick rubber tail that he could feel leaking as a liquid similar to the latex substance he encountered in the cave except it was a bright green. He looked positively monstrous and no doubt terrifying to anyone who would look upon him... but as he began to feel the sensual rub of rubber on rubber it wasn't giving him the same feeling. Perhaps it was because he was so deeply connected to Ry'lek or because his master was rubbing against himself but something about how his body looked was extremely... enticing.

Before Garu could go too deep into those feelings the scorpion backed them away from the water's edge, and as they did the bull saw something had happened where they were standing. It was like they had been standing in black mud, but the longer he focused on it the more it shined unnaturally and began to spread as something akin to an oil slick began to spread out and pollute the water. "The swamp that I had ran through before I found the cave," Garu reasoned in his thoughts. "That wasn't just some place that was always there, that was because of you. You corrupted all of the land around you while you were sealed away?"

"Indeed..." Ry'lek replied as he began to walk once more back through the field. "Perhaps why they sealed me away in that cave in the first place and attempted to contain my power. Of course there are probably other reasons as well, one of which you're about to experience for yourself very soon."

Garu wanted to say more but he felt that presence grow stronger in his own psyche and like in the initial takeover it suddenly became harder to think. What he could do was feel the emotions of the one that possessed his body, and there was both an intense need and joy as well as his paced quickened. At first the bull wasn't sure what had caused his handler to become so ecstatic until he heard the sound of measured hoof beats ahead of them. It was people on horseback, Garu could practically hear their heartbeats as they raced forward in order to intercept them, and though the bull had no idea what was going to happen next he knew that it wasn't going to be good...

Meanwhile the two merchants continued to ride down the winding road, one of them breathing a sigh of relief as they made their way out of the canopy of the forest and into untamed fields that bordered the next town. "I hate going through that forest," the arctic fox said to his companion as he looked back into the shadows created by the trees. "Every time we have to go through the territory that creepy cult dwells in we not only get delayed two hours while they check everything but I also have to look at their ugly mugs. Why doesn't the king just go in there and clear them all out?"

"He must have a reason," the tiger replied. "Probably not worth the effort, as long as you don't stray from the path and give them a reason to go after you they're relatively harmless. You are right about the delay being somewhat annoying, hopefully we can get to the town before the markets open and everyone's already spent their coin."

The fox nodded and the two continued for a few more feet before he suddenly stopped, causing his friend to do the same as he looked around. "Do you hear that?" he asked, holding up his hand. "Sounds like something heavy running through the woods..."

The tiger was about to rebuke him when he suddenly heard it too, whatever it was sounded very large and was running very fast... towards them. The fox agreed and got his horse to start up again in a gallop, but only got a few feet before something huge crashed through the underbrush and knocked the vulpine off of his horse and onto the road. The tiger shouted for his friend and tried to reach down but the sudden appearance of the monster caused his horse to become terrified and rear up before bolting away from it. Just before his mount could bolt the tiger felt something hit between his shoulder blades that caused him to cry out in pain before he was galloped down the path.

As Garu watched the tiger go he grasped that Ry'lek was not going to chase after him as he saw the bright green goo dribble down the merchant tiger's back before he disappeared down the corner. This just left him with the struggling arctic fox as Ry'lek used their pincer hand to pick up the creature by the neck, watching the lithe vulpine wiggle and squirm in his rubbery grasp. "Please don't kill me!" the vulpine shouted as he struggled to try and pry the pincers apart. "I'll give you anything you want, just let me live!"

"Anything?" Ry'lek replied, Garu surprised as the alien voice that had been echoing through his mind all this time suddenly came out of his muzzle as those eyes stared straight at the fox. The merchant male also seemed to be surprised that the rubber monster he believed about to kill him suddenly started talking as well. "How about... everything?"

Though the bull knew that the latex scorpion could have easily cut this fox's head off with minimal effort he instead let go, but before the fox hit the dirt road he was scooped up by the other arm and brought towards his chest. As their newest victim was brought in for a hug the legs that had been attached to Garu's sides opened and stretched, completely stretching around and gripping the fox into place with the vulpine's back against his chest. For the first time Garu felt fur against his rubberized chest and the feeling was so subline that he didn't even realize that their rubber was starting to spread over him until the vulpine's back arched and he felt the tug of the latex that had spread up onto the fox's sides.

As the power began to flow through Garu he recognized that Ry'lek was doing the same thing to this fox that he had done to him, feeling strange being somewhat on the other side as the ancient creature began to push into the fox's mind. With their connection Garu could see that the rubber scorpion was being far more forceful with this merchant than he had been with him, completely saturating the other male in pleasure as the rubber tendrils that grew over the vulpine body began to worm their way into his ears and mouth. The two bottom latex insect legs on Garu's body continued to stretch down and spread the fox's legs as that vulpine's cock began to jut out from his groin.

The arctic fox quickly succumbed to the pleasure's fed to him through the ancient creature, his squirms and whimpers becoming loud moans as the red and black rubber continued to overtake his body. The vulpine's back arched as Ry'lek took their cock and pushed it deep into the already transformed insides of the tailhole. Garu could feel the corruption flowing through their shared body and as he pumped him full of the thick rubber cum of their body he knew that this creature was not going to be some vessel for the creature. This was something else... something different as the corruptive substance began to transform the fox inside and out.

"You are correct vessel," the ancient rubber being explained as Garu continued to watch the fox twitch and squirm while more of the thick latex crept over his vulpine form and became chitin armor. "I require you to be fully intact so that should something happen to me I can have a fully-thinking, free being in order to continue to protect us. This one will merely be a loyal drone, a servant to suit our purpose and as such I can be far more... invasive with him."

It didn't take much to realize what Ry'lek meant by evasive, he could hear the fox's thoughts and he could sense that unlike his own form that was being covered and manipulated by the scorpion creature this one... he was being transformed by him. As they pumped their cock into the restrained vulpine his muscles thickened slightly and he grew larger, though nowhere as large as their combined body as they felt the rubberized tail that was between their bodies thickened and lengthened into a scorpion one. The merchant's arms stretched out and as the rubber cascaded over them it grew spiky, though instead of pincers he retained his fingers as sickle-like claws grew on them.

When Garu came the arms that had been restraining the fox the entire time let go, but with the increased height given to the also orgasming fox he was able to stand on his own mutated rubber feet. A hiss escaped from the fox's face as the rubber that had been leaking into his maw and transforming his tongue and throat formed into a pair of mandibles as the newly-minted creature fell forward. Though the bull knew that the servant they formed was quite strong he retained his lithe form, giving him the proper look of a rubber drone as it slowly got back up to his feet. As the last of the vulpine's maw was covered with the shiny black material a pair of anntanne grew from his head, twitching in the air as the former fox turned and immediately bowed to his new master.

It was strange to the bull to suddenly feel the ultimate power over another, it was something he had not expected when Ry'lek transformed the other creature. Though it was clear that Ry'lek was the master he in a way was too... though he knew anything he ordered could be overruled by the ancient scorpion covering him. The other thing that he grasped was that he knew in the back of his mind that he should feel something about having just taken the free will of another but was... strangely fine with it. Whether the situation had just jaded him or the corruption of Ry'lek had truly seeped into his soul he wasn't sure, all he knew was that even in the haze of submissive pleasure to the rubber scorpion suit that controlled him he still felt dominance towards the new drone.

"It feels so good to be able to spread again," Ry'lek said as he moved forward and cupped his pincers underneath the rubber insects head, Garu watching as a long, slithering tongue pushed its way out towards him. "Soon this world will be covered in creatures like this and my hive will spread across the land once more. I will make them all pay for locking me away in that accursed prison to rot like the land around it..."

Garu could feel the palpable anger in Ry'lek's voice before it was once more turned to admiration to his latest creation, leaning forward with his own long tongue and sliding across his minion's before pushing it into his mouth. The bond there was absolute, the bull knew that this creature would die for them should his master will it. As they continued to make out though Garu began to feel something else, another connection that he hadn't even realized was there as it slowly began to grow in strength. It appeared that Ry'lek was very aware of it though as he finished making out and immediately turned towards where they sensed the connection coming from.

"It appears that we are needed elsewhere," Ry'lek said before he turned back towards the new minion they had created. "I'm going to go ahead, you will follow me."

The creature nodded and though he didn't speak Garu could feel him praising his new master as Ry'lek turned and began to run further down the road. When Ry'lek turned to see their latex servant trailing behind them the encased bull had saw what the influence over their environment was. The dirt road that they had been standing on had completely turned to black, a significant stain that was more like the size of a puddle that glinted in the light of the sun. Though the shiny substance will likely not last because their influence will be removed from the area Garu instinctively knew that should someone stumble upon it before it evaporated it would begin to corrupt them like a poison. Poison... suddenly he knew that they were going to as their pace quickly revved up into a sprint.

Meanwhile the tiger had finally managed to get his horse under control, but as the merchant slowed him to a stop he almost immediately slid off of it and crumbled to the ground. He had been feeling steadily worse the further he got away from where the monster had attacked him and his friend and with the adrenaline fading from his system the fatigue was setting in. From the sensation radiating in the area of his back where the strange rubber scorpion creature had hit him he wondered if he had somehow been poisoned, especially when he saw fur fall out around him onto the ground. Though he knew he should be terrified and had been in the beginning he began to feel it getting replaced with blissful pleasure instead.

Even though he felt his mind and body both grew more sluggish he knew that something very wrong was happening and needed to get to the next town. When he tried to get back up on his house he found that it had run off already, leaving him deserted on the road. He tried to get back up onto his feet in order to make a run for it, even if it would take him nearly the entire day to get close, but everything in his mind spurred him to try and continue on. As he attempted to get back onto his feet though he found himself week in the knees and collapsed back onto all fours. When he attempted to brace himself and get back up it felt like someone had tied his feet together and when he looked back with his black-veined eyes he saw why and let out a loud gasp.

The entire back of his body was covered in thick green rubber from his ankles to the back of his neck, the latter he felt when he brought his hands up to his neck. As he tried to pull his legs apart he found that the shiny material had begun to fuse together, only able to stretch them apart for a few inches before the thick strands banded them back together. Whatever that strange creature had poisoned him with was mutating him fast, and as continued to hold up his chest he tried to cry out for help only to have it interrupted with a loud gurgle. As the transforming tiger continued to try and move forward, this time crawling forward while he felt his rubber-covered lower body began to bloat and meld together.

"What do we have here..." the tiger heard, a loud chitter filling the air as Garu and Ry'lek slowly approached, watching with glee as the rubber scales continued to spread over the fur of his body. "Looks like my poison has not lost any of its potency. Now this one was the brawn for my drone's brain, I see no reason to disrupt such a harmonious balance."

Garu wanted to feel bad for the transforming merchant but deep down inside he knew that what Ry'lek wanted was going to be so much better for him, the bull embracing the corruption that had seeped inside of him. He could see their lust continue to infect the male who wiggled and squirm on the side of the road, watching as the latex cascaded down the feline's arms and began to bulk up the already impressive musculature on his body. Though they had hit him on his back the corruptive rubber seemed to pool towards the legs, although they no longer resembled them in the slightest.

"What'ssss... happening... to me..." the tiger tried to say as he looked up at Ry'lek, whose eyes stared down at him in inspection as more latex fluid began to leak out of his mouth and nose. "Am I... dying..."

"Not in the slightest," Ry'lek said as he leaned down and rubbed the latex scales that were forming on the feline's skull, pressing down his ears so that they merged into the rubber and became a pair of horns. "You are being reborn... and creature created from my venom to spread it."

The tiger's tongue flicked out as the rubber that coated it split into a fork, watching as fangs pushed their way past his lips as his transformation ravaged his mind. This close to the affected creature Garu could sense exactly what Ry'lek was doing to him; this was not some simple drone that was being created, this was a creature purely of corruption. The latex venom that had been injected into him had now become a part of him, as was the desire to spread it in the first place. As Ry'lek stood back up he had to step away as the latex naga coiled up on himself while folding his powerful arms in front of his muscular chest.

Garu was impressed by how quickly the tiger had turned, whether it was because Ry'lek was becoming more powerful or the feline was particularly susceptible he didn't know. What he did see is underneath their feet the grass began to darken, turning shiny and black as the drone that had trailed them finally caught up. Ry'lek took a few steps back as the alien rubber creature went over and rubbed his hands against the chest of his former friend. The naga reciprocated by slowly his new rubber body around him, coiling him up as Garu could sense the two horny creatures were about to explore their new bodies even more.

I need you to see..." Ry'lek hissed, Garu so enraptured by the two creatures that he hadn't even realized what the creature was saying was directed to him until he felt a tug against his consciousness to bring him to attention. "While these two creatures are only a sample of those that I will create in my new world, they are the embodiment of my power."

Before Garu could ask what that would possibly mean for him he suddenly felt himself no longer staring through the segmented vision of his augmented body, instead his perspective had shifted and he was now looking down at the drone that had been wrapped up in the naga's coils. It didn't take him long to grasp what had happened as he felt the presence of the recently corrupted tiger. Unlike with his own body where he felt some semblance of self he felt strictly like a passenger as the naga's body swayed back and forth. His mind quickly focused on the naga's psyche instead, wanting to feel what he felt.

Power... it was the first thing that came to the rubber snake creature's mind as soon as the fog of lust gave way to corrupted clarity. This new body was all muscle and rubber and venom, the latter coursing through his veins like blood as he continued to play with the drone. Though he remembered his old body it only served as a reminder of how pitiful and weak he had been before he had been taken by Ry'lek, just like all those that he constantly did business with. But like his new master he had the agent of change flowing his body, ready to turn those who had strength like he had into more corruptors to spread his master's will. As his throbbing cock aligned with the tailhole of the drone that had so eagerly given himself to him he knew that soon he would be doing the same too much... fresher prey.

The predatory instincts of the naga quickly took a backseat to the satiation of his growing lust as he began to push inside the drone, Garu moaning mentally as he felt the stimulation directly pass into him. This was drones and prey were for, the naga thought as he began to adjust his coils so that his member pushed even deeper into the constricted latex male. As the snake creature's fangs bared and more of that venom that had come from Ry'lek dripped from his fangs Garu realized just how far this creature had changed. There were only two things on this muscular rubber naga's mind, sex and corruption...

Suddenly Garu's perspective changed and he was now looking up at the dripping maw of the corruptor naga, all the power he had felt was replaced with complete subservience. The dynamic shift was so dramtic that it threw the bull for a loop, grounded only by feeling that cock he had been thrusting with now being thrusted into him. The rubber insect creature could only think of serving Ry'lek and the others, though when he scratched a little deeper he could see the intelligence of the creature shining through. This rubber male he was now a part of was a servant through and through, even when it came to the knoweldge that he had stored. Garu realized that this was the fate of those that were not physically strong enough to become corruptors, ready to serve with their tailholes and mouths as he let the naga continue to slide around him and led their delicious synthetic bodies rub against one another.

Just as Garu began to lose himself to the sensations of the drone having his tailhole plowed by the larger male the drone happened to look over to where Ry'lek was standing. It was surreal to see what was essentially himself standing there, though the rubber scorpion was not him. The scorpion looked in eager interest at not only his two converts having sex but also the presence of the one that he called his vessel. From that rubber scorpion tail to the black and red plating, even the cock that sat between his legs... it was all for the glory of Ry'lek and it looked beautiful.

But as he was admiring his own body he suddenly found himself in it once more, feeling the familiar presence of Ry'lek's psyche against his own as he settled back in. Now that he had seen what he had looked like he could definitely feel the scorpion's form as his own, though he knew somewhere in there was his old body. But a growing sense of himself didn't care, he was a vessel to Ry'lek. With Garu once more secure the rubber scorpion called the drones to separate, then looked towards the town that the two merchants had been trying to get to.

Suddenly Garu began to feel strange, like every inch of the rubber that covered him had began to writhe all at once. The bull was able to let out a moan as his muzzle and his tailhole were stretched, feeling Ry'lek retreat inside him. The hair of the bull began to reappear as Garu fell to his knees while it felt like he was getting penetrated from every angle. As the possessing creature disappeared inside his body it didn't relinquish any control, in fact it felt stronger than ever as the last of his form was uncovered once again.

"A shame..." Ry'lek said, the voice sounding much more like Garu's as he looked at himself. "But a fitting form for me to use for now. Now come my vessel, we really should get going before it gets too dark."

As night fell on the village those that had been selling their wares began to pack up for the night, save for the cougar that stood near the entrance. He had been waiting for two friends to come in and join him, and when they didn't show up when they were supposed to he wondered if something had happened to them on the road. There shouldn't have been anything that was on the road that would have delayed him, aside from cultists in the woods, which made him wonder what could have possibly caused them to tarry. As the sky grew darker and the torches started to get lit for the night the feline sighed and decided to head back towards the inn and wait for them there.

Just as he got the last of his wares settled into his merchant's bag he looked up to see someone was walking down the road on horseback. Though he didn't recognize who it was walking in the shadows he did recognize the two horses and ran over to greet his friends. "It's about time you two got here!" he said before he stopped short, seeing the bull standing there with a smirk on his face and that the horses were without riders. "What... where are my friends?"

"Your friends and I had a fortunate meeting on the path," Ry'lek said, the smirk on Garu's lips widening as a large red eye opened in the center of his forehead as the cougar looked beyond him down the path. "They will be joining us shortly... speaking of us, would you happen to be with anyone else right now?"

"No, I came out here alone, why-" the cougar trailed off when he looked to see that black and red tentacles had begun to slither over the bull's form. "What... what are you?!"

The cougar didn't want to find out the answer to his own question though as he saw a scorpion tail rise up from behind Garu's back while the rubber engulfed his head. Before the merchant could get back to the village to warn people a different creature stuck from the darkness, the naga slithering in from the shadows and wrapping around the fleeing feline. "That's a very simple question," Ry'lek said as the rubber scorpion completely reasserted himself, those eyes staring into the cougar's as the naga sank his fangs and the shiny venom immediately began to spread over his fur and through his veins. "I'm your new master..."
