#1 of From Defeat Comes Victory

An epic battle in space leads to the alien creature known as Vasran to flee for his life, his damaged ship only able to get him to a backwater planet that will just keep him alive. With nothing to do but pointing himself at the planet all he can do is hope that he will survive here long enough in order to get his revenge. Can he turn his bitter defeat into a victory?

"You are never going to win Vasran!" the voice over the radio shouted as a ship spiraled through the darkness of space, the one controlling it grunting in pain as he struggled to regain control of the primary systems. "You're finished! That ship won't reach the nearest planet, much less any space station out there! Take your death with honor!"

"Computer!" the creature inside the cockpit shouted. "Why is there still power being supplied to the communication systems? Divert everything to the thrusters!"

There was a beeping noise as the lights on the control panel, which were the only things that lit up the interior of the ship, began to blink with a warning light. Vasran gritted his teeth and continued to try and force restart the engines that had been disabled while fleeing from the battle that he had lost along with the entire armada he had managed to gather. He thought he had managed to make a clean get-away but the one whose voice had been taunting him managed to get a lucky shot before he warped out. At this point all signs pointed that he was going to die out here just like all of his men, it was only through sheer force of will that he was able to remain conscious while trying to pilot his lame duck of a ship.

"Captain Vasran," the computer beeped. "We have located a planet that may be capable of supporting you in the nearby system, if you turn towards it now you may be able to land without it being lethal."

"...thanks computer," Vasran hissed, though he knew that it was right. "Alright, set coordinates to the planet and limp us there as best as we can." Even with damaged engines he was able to use the momentum of the ship to get him to where he needed to go as a bright blue orb of a planet appeared in his visor. "That looks like it has quite the atmosphere... computer, this isn't going to be a smooth landing, put every last ounce of power we got into the shields, even the life support, and set us on a collision course."

"Sir, it is strongly advised that you keep life support systems active," the computer warned.

"It's alright..." Vasran said as he watched the planet surface grow bigger and bigger in his viewscreen. "I'm sure I can hold my breath..."

Meanwhile on the planet's surface an arctic fox whistled to himself as he drove down the back roads to get back to his college campus, trying to avoid the game day traffic that was happening on the other side of the woods. It was going to be mayhem as everyone had their eyes either glued to the game itself at the stadium or on their televisions, but all Ark carried about was getting home so that he could have some time to decompress before classes started. He also knew that his roommate Rove would be back tonight sometime as well so he wanted to make sure he was home first. If he wasn't then the wolf would usually take over the entire living room and Ark would either have to watch what he was watching or go into his room in order to do anything.

As he got on the last long stretch of road before he got back onto the proper city streets his car suddenly died, the engine shutting off instantly as he rolled to a stop right there on the road. "The hell?" he said as he tried to start it up again, only to have it stall out. "Did my battery just die or something?"

The answer to his question came quickly as something big and on fire flew a few feet over his head before crashing into the woods that lined the road about a hundred feet away from him. Despite how far away it was the vulpine could feel the vibration shake his car as the force of the impact cracked the road in front of him as well. When the ground stopped shuddering and everything started to settle back down he found he could turn his car back on again and as soon as he did he heard the radio station he had been listening to get broken in to report an explosion in his area. He knew it wasn't going to be long before every cop and firefighter in the county would be in this area and he had the rare opportunity to be first on the scene of such an event. Once he got his care to the area he threw it into park and made his way up the newly created earthen hill that had formed from the impact and when he got to the top he looked down into the rather large crater.

While Ark had expected to see a meteorite or maybe a piece of space junk what he saw caused his jaw to drop. Nestled in the center of the burning debris was a spaceship clearly of alien origin, though at this point it looked like it had been crushed into a large cube and had several large tree branches sticking out of it. The vulpine held up his hands to his muzzle in sheer astonishment; he had been the first one to the scene that showed evidence of alien life! Just as he was about to head back to his car to get his phone he saw the door open and something fling itself out before falling to the dirt below.

On first glance it looked like some sort of reptilian creature, like a lizardman or croc, but as the fires burned around it Ark noticed that his skin shined with an unnatural luster and his body had a number of physiological differences. Slowly the arctic fox slid down the path towards the unmoving creature and as he got closer he saw more non-scaly features on its body, from the two sets of horns on its head to the fact that other than some slight scaled texturing its latex-like skin was completely smooth. The biggest thing however was the tail, it had almost a fin-like structure on the end of it that was completely closed up on itself. There was also a pool of dark blue liquid that was growing around it and as Ark examined the body he realized that the creature had somehow been critically injured as he found large slashes in the otherwise flawless skin.

It was at this point Ark had a choice to make; either he could try and get the creature to his car and help him, or leave him here for when the police and everyone else inevitably came. While he wasn't sure how well he could help he didn't have to be an expert on aliens to tell this creature was likely dying. The police wouldn't be here for another ten minutes and they would likely not approach the body like he did, plus once they did finally do so they would just call the government or something. He had seen enough movies to know that if that happened that even if the alien survived it likely would wish that it hadn't as he bit his lip...

Vasran found his vision swimming as he felt himself get moved by something. He could tell he was no longer on his ship anymore, or what was left of it, and that someone had wrapped his arm around their shoulders to move them. Though he couldn't do anything about what was happening to him he was at least grateful that it appeared he was being rescued. With as much strength as he could muster he tried to help his savior get him away from his ship and to the creature's vessel, which turned out to be some sort of primitive motorized cart. At this point Vasran would have taken anything as he was helped into the backseat before the door was closed, catching a glimpse of the white-furred alien before it got into a different door.

As he felt the vehicle begin to move he spat out a small black box, the only thing that in his injured state he remembered to grab. It was a simple device with a single knob on it, one that he turned all the way before pressing down on it twice. Once he had done that he let himself slip back into unconsciousness to conserve as much energy as possible.

Meanwhile Ark could hear the alien creature shifting slightly in the back of his car, the seats of which were no doubt now stained with dark blue alien blood the that creature was leaking. As he continued to drive however he nearly swerved off the road as the sky lit up once more. The fox quickly looked in his rear view mirror to see the greenish-blue fireball rise up into the air like a mushroom cloud as the explosion rattled his windows. "Looks like that was closer than I thought," he said before he looked back at his passenger. "Well if they weren't coming before everyone is going to be coming there now, time to make sure that we're not caught up in it all."

About an hour later the car drove up to the circle driveway that lined the campus housing area. Ark put it into park and turned off the lights, then waited for a few seconds to see if anyone happened to be coming by. Luckily it appeared that everyone was either still at the game or possibly going to investigate the explosion, which meant that would give him the privacy he needed to smuggle someone into his campus apartment. Now he really hoped that his roommate wasn't back yet either because trying to explain sneaking a strange male into his room was something he did not want to do tonight.

Despite it being a ghost town on campus he grabbed a sheet from his trunk and put it over the alien creature before picking him up as best he could and limping him inside. Unlike the last time it appeared to be far more out of it but luckily was conscious enough to walk with him. As he walked down the hallway with him he nearly jumped as he thought he heard another one of the doors open, but it turned out to be down one of the other halls as he punched in his pass code and went inside. As soon as he stepped through the threshold he knew that Rove wasn't back yet as he turned on the lights and made his way to the bathroom. At first he thought about just plopping the alien down on the couch but he wasn't sure if alien blood was going to even come out of his car seats, which also reminded him that he had left his car in temporary parking.

"I'm just going to lay you down right here," he said as he put the rubbery reptilian in his shower. "I know you probably can't understand me but I'm going to be right back, I just have to go move my car to the parking lot. If you can understand me don't move or touch anything okay? I'll be right back with a medkit too!"

Vasran watched the arctic fox run off out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him but leaving the light on. While he couldn't understand what the creature was saying he knew enough that it was likely he was being taken care of, or at least that's what he hoped since he really didn't have the strength to fight back. Once he heard the other door shut he began to make assessments of his physical state and found the prognosis to be not good. He was still losing blood that was trickling down the sink and he had no tools to patch himself up with and doubted that whatever his savior could get his hands on would work that well on his alien physiology.

He took a deep breath to steady himself and shifted his body, groaning in pain as he exposed his tail and looked at the cusp on the end of it. Thankfully that still seemed to be okay and with that he could not only make himself better but learn about the planet he was on. The only problem was that in his weakened condition there was only one way that he could do either of those...

After a few minutes Ark ran back into the room with a white plastic box with a red cross marked on it, which he also got from the trunk of his car as he made his way into the bathroom. When he opened the door again he gasped slightly when he found the alien had somehow fallen onto his stomach, his head half out of the shower with a glassy-eyed expression on his face. At first he feared the creature was dead but when he pressed a hand against him he saw the alien's tail move which caused him to breathe a sigh of relief. As he began to take out the various items that he hoped would help the alien out he saw that the tail continued to wag in his direction, the tip of is bumping against his arm several times.

"What's wrong?" Ark asked as he looked at the tail that continued to bump into him. "Is there something with your tail I need to check? Something that might be able to help you?" When there was no clear reply from the creature he reached over and grabbed the rubber appendage, which immediately relaxed as soon as it was in his grip. Whatever it was it seemed that the alien was keen on him investigating it.

As the fox opened up the leaf-like end of the tail he was surprised to find that it was more like the end of a squid tentacle, complete with wiggling rubber protrusions and a rubber tentacle that wiggle around the base of it with two smaller ones just above it. "You have some really strange anatomy here..." Ark commented as he brought the stretchy flap of rubber up closer to his muzzle. "Is your tail hollow?"

Just as Ark was wondering what the alien wanted him to do with it the tail pushed forward and the inside of the flap slapped square against his face. The second it made contact with his fur it seemed to suction onto it, covering enough of his face that he could no longer see while the latex continued to spread out. As he opened his mouth to shout the tentacle at the base of the flap immediately pushed its way into his maw and caused the arctic fox to flail blindly about as it quickly slithered towards his throat. Ark attempted to claw at the thing covering his head but the rubber made it impossible for him to get any purchase on it as the two smaller tendrils wormed their way into his nostrils. Vasran watched as the vulpine continued to jerk and slide on the bathroom floor until finally his body came to a stop and slumped down against the corner.

Now that the creature had been pacified Vasran expanded his tail flap until it almost completely encapsulated the fox's head and several more tendrils pushed their way out into Ark's ears. With the fox completely sedated by the chemicals pumped out from the tentacle that now throbbed in his prey's throat he concentrated and began the bonding process. As he took energy from the arctic fox he let out a grunt of pain while his rubber skin began to knit over the gashes that he had sustained in his last battle. Though he had some internal injuries as well he mostly focused on stopping the profuse bleeding and also assimilating the fox's mind for information about this new world he landed on.

At the same time Ark continued to remain slumped over in the corner, but as his body began to twitch his mind was very much active. He could feel the alien's presence in his mind as a thick fluid began to ooze not only from the rubber tentacle lodged in his throat but from the membrane that had covered his head. As he felt the alien rummage through his mind for useful information he could see what he was pulling up even in his blissed out state, seeing everything from the language they spoke to the technology they used and even Ark's personal life. As one image in particular focused on Rove he felt a pang of embarrassment as the alien was able to sense that there was more he wanted to be to the wolf than just his roommate.

When Vasran had enough of a basic understanding of the world and had healed to the point he was no longer on death's door he began to focus his efforts on the arctic fox himself. At this point he knew he would have to fully bond with the other male, both because he wanted to reward him for saving him and also because he needed the extra power. Their race thrived on psionic links and the more he had the stronger he became, and if he wanted to exact his revenge he was going to need all the help he could get. As he looked over he could see the physical process had already begun, his alien organic nanites forming mirco-lattices over the vulpine's skin while assimilating the fur for fuel to replicate further.

By the time the shiny material had reached down over the top of Ark's chest Vasran began to notice something peculiar that was happening to the fox. The organ that was situated between his legs had begun to stiffen, a physiological reaction no doubt, but to what? Vasran could sense the vulpine's embarrassment as he looked up the sexuality and gender of this particular planet's inhabitants. While his race was essentially asexual he was no stranger to the mating habits of different species, in fact lust was usually an effective way to gain more psionic power from those they bonded with, and after a little research he learned that these particular aliens were slightly more complex than most. When he saw that there was a lot of information to assimilate he focused instead on the fox in particular to find out everything he needed to know in order to make sure that the bonding took hold as strongly as possible.

What Vasran managed to glean was that Ark was what they called a male and that while a female was needed to propagate the species that this one preferred other males. He was also flattered when he gleaned that the fox had thought he was particularly attractive, something he hadn't gotten in quite some time, though his eyes were set particularly on a wolf that co-habituated with him but not in a sexual way. The alien realized that sex was not just a means of propagation for this species but also one of pleasure, and since pleasure was a reward he knew exactly how he could not only enforce the bond he was forming but reward the fox for his gracious service. All he needed was a quick alteration to his own nether region as he watched a slit form between his legs and a male organ push its way out.

Meanwhile Ark was mentally curing that he had gotten aroused by an alien creature that was doing some bizarre mind melt thing to him. For all he knew he was being slowly eaten alive and absorbed by this thing's tail, though in reality he actually felt better than ever as he could feel some sort of thick liquid ooze down the fur of his chest and back. Suddenly he felt his body begin to move of its own accord and strength return to his limbs, except that he wasn't able to move them of his own accord as he was shuffled around for a bit before he found himself on all fours. When he wondered what was happening he suddenly found himself able to see again except that the perspective was completely different.

Vasran grinned as he allowed the fox to look through his own eyes so he could see what was happening to him. He could feel Ark even in his drugged state become both confused and aroused at the sight of his own body before him, especially since it had been stripped completely naked was mostly covered with a dazzling white rubber substance that reflected in the light. He could also see the alien's tail was still firmly latched around his head as it formed a strange hood that went down to his throat that bulged with alien tentacle. When he lowered his vision down to show that his hips were against the fox's rear and that there was an alien latex cock against his thigh it caused Ark's confusion to escalate at the bizarre situation.

"Your species derives pleasure from this," Vasran explained, which caused Ark to be even more surprised that the alien now had a solid grasp of English. "From the information I harvested you will experience increased euphoria that combined with the chemicals I've introduced into your system will provide a bliss-like trance. This is my reward to you and also the start of our bond together."

Ark was completely lost in both pleasurable sensation and chemically-induced bliss, but he was pretty sure that the alien he rescued was about to have sex with him as his way of saying thanks while at the same time still doing something to his body. At this point however he wasn't even sure he was even awake and that this wasn't some sort of hyper-realistic dream he was having. As the layer of liquid rubber that continued to cascade down his stomach and finally reached his groin he felt his body twitch in arousal as the cool liquid tentacles climbed up the sensitive flesh of his cock. At the same time it appeared to be the moment that his captor decided to push into him, feeling his own memories of sex get accessed as he was being penetrated by the somewhat girthy rubber member that attempted to spread open his hole.

As Vasran continued to try and replicate the experience his eyes widened slightly when he felt the walls of the fox's insides push against the sensitive flesh he had created. While he was no stranger to having sex it was normally for the purposes of assimilation or as reward and didn't bother with his own sensations. This time however in his weakened state he hadn't put such barriers up and was surprised when it felt... really good. He began to lament the times he had done this before and now allowed himself to feel such pleasure as he pushed in harder only to stop when he realized that he was causing his rescuer discomfort from the speed. At first he wondered if he needed to grab the bottle of lube that came to the vulpine's mind when he accidently went too fast, but as he felt his alien rubber reach Ark's rear and spread inside of his whole the problem of his anatomical limitations vanished with his organic flesh.

As Ark saw the thick rubber cock of the other male slide into his augmented tailhole his vision suddenly returned to darkness as his senses returned to his own head. Now all he could experience was the feel of the alien creature inside him, though as his insides were spread open by the eager male he began to realize how lucky he had been to meet such a guy. Not only was he being given such a great gift for his service but he was also being taken under his proverbial wing, something that most guys could only dream of. All he needed to give in return was some of his energy and information, nothing that he couldn't have eventually found on the internet, which gave Ark a sense of pride at being so helpful even though he wasn't quite sure where it came from...

Of course Vasran knew exactly where it had come from as he continued to pour his influence into the other male's psyche. The sexual act they were having had opened up a window into the vulpine's mind and even through the haze of lust that came from thrusting his hips forward into the tight hole of the other creature he continued to cement the bond in Ark's mind. As he did so black markings began to appear in long, thin lines on the fox's rubberized body, particularly around his neck before it cascaded down his chest and arms. It formed into intricate designs that accentuated the fox's new form as well as showed who he had been bonded too in the alien's eyes.

Ark let out a gasp as the tentacle was pulled out of his throat and nostrils, the flap peeling away from his head and exposing his eyes to the harsh light of the bathroom as he felt control return to his limbs. As the drugs quickly began to clear his system it only increased the sensation of lust and arousal he got from getting plowed from behind. The fox moaned loudly as their latex bodies squeaked together as the minutes passed. Though the alien creature showed no signs of stopping Ark could feel his climax building to the point of no return, especially when Vasran found where his prostrate was and the spike of pleasure that caused.

At this point Vasran had been mostly mimicking what he found in the fox's emotions and making them his own, so when Ark hit his climax it surprised the alien with an orgasm of his own. Both males gasped and grunted as Vasran held the rubberized vulpine close as he came hard for the first time as that species did. At the same time Ark's seed shot out of his own cock and spilled onto the floor of the shower that they had just had sex in. As they began to cool down Ark reached a hand up lazily and turned the water on to wash the fluid-filled floor of the shower as well as their own bodies.

"Thank you," Vasran said as they laid there under the cascading water. "I would have died there in that wreckage if you hadn't found me when you did."

"Well you definitely have an interesting way of showing it," the arctic fox replied as he ran a hand down his rubbery body where his thick, soft fur used to be. "I know I should be freaking out right now, that I should be running for the hills because you turned me into an alien or something, but at the moment the only thing I can feel is the pleasure that we just gave one another. I also have a good guess that the reason why I'm so calm right now is your doing considering the amount of time you were poking around in my head."

Vasran nodded and shifted his weight so he could look the fox in his eyes, which now glowed with a purple iridescence much like his own. "I have put a psionic lock on your emotions for the moment," he explained. "The reason is precisely what you just said, I need time to explain what happened to you and I find it hard to do so if the person I bonded with is screaming their heads off because of some irrational fear."

"Irrational fear?" Ark replied incredulously as he motioned to his smooth, shiny latex body. "I think you definitely have some explaining to do. But let's not do it here in the shower, god only knows the last thing I need is my roommate coming back and having him see me here on the floor with another guy balls deep inside of me."

"Your roommate," Vasran inquired as they got up and turned off the water. "That is the black-furred wolf Rove, right? The one that you're in love with secretly?"

The alien felt a massive pulse of emotional energy press against the shield that he had created to keep Ark calm as he mentioned that, the vulpine shaking his head as he grabbed a towel from the rack before leaving. When they entered the common area of the apartment he saw that it was a fairly small space, complete with combined kitchen and living area as well as two bedrooms sectioned off for privacy. It wasn't a bad place to end up in, Vasran thought to himself as they went into one of the rooms. Once they were inside the bedroom Vasran laid down on the bed while Ark took the desk chair, the alien grunting as the injuries that he hadn't been able to heal flared up from his movement.

Once they were in a more comfortable environment Vasran explained everything that had just happened to Ark; from the fact that he had been essentially converted into something more like an alien to the mental bond they shared and that now the alien got more power as long as Ark remained loyal to him. The entire time the vulpine just rubbed his temples as he listened to how much he had been changed, which also explained how he continued to feel grateful to the alien even though he was the one who saved him. Vasran also explained the level of mental manipulation in those he bonded with varied from the slight tweaking that Ark had received in order to make him a bit more pliable to the situation to a full-blown reprogramming of a bonded individual's mind that rendered them little more than a drone.

"Well from the sound of it I suppose it could be worse," Ark finally said as he leaned back in his chair. "I suppose there's no option that involves you tinkering around in my head?"

"I think you are failing to understand the concept of what has happened to you," Vasran replied as he sat up. "I didn't just impose my will on you, our minds have literally merged together to form a link. With a little training you can access my memories as well, though I will have the ability to block you out of certain realms of my mind. Comes with being a more experienced alien... but you will need to get the basics of your new body down now, especially if you're going to use that new tail of yours."

At that point Ark hadn't even thought about his tail, or the rest of his body for that matter as he had sort of just assumed that he had been covered in latex. He quickly got up and found a small mirror in his drawer, then looked at his reflection for the first time since his conversion. What he saw was no longer just an arctic fox; a pair of shiny horns now adorned his head and his eyes glowed purple with strange pupils just like the alien's. As he used his new and improved flexibility he also saw a row of spines that lead down from his neck to his tail which ended in a modified flap just like Vasran's did. He dropped the mirror on the table and held up his formerly vulpine tail to see that it also had a tentacle at the base of the flap and two smaller tendrils that would go into the nostrils of another creature.

"So I really am an alien creature now," Ark said as he let his tail fall away and sat down with a flop. "How am I supposed to go to school now? Or even go out for that matter? I mean how am I going to help you get your revenge and collect more drones if I can't... wait, how did I know you wanted me to do that?"

"One of the perks of being bonded," Vasran smirked as sat up, the increasing loyalty of his converted helping to continue to knit his wounds. "As for your previous query I want you to think of what you looked like before, or if you need a picture you can use that too but just focus on how it felt to be the real you. Go ahead, close your eyes."

Ark eyed him up incredulously before he did so, thinking about what he looked like when he actually had fur as he closed his eyes to concentrate. For a few seconds nothing happened but after nearly a full minute of concentrating he gasped slightly as he could feel fur grow out of his latex skin. When he opened his eyes again he found himself looking down at his familiar body once again, also realizing for the first time that he was still naked. Still as he took the mirror and looked at himself he couldn't find a trace of the alien transformation on him, not even on his tail that had been the most heavily modified.

"You see, nothing to worry about," Ark heard Vasran said, except that it wasn't in the alien's voice. He slowly turned his head and did a double take when he saw... himself laying there on the bed with a lewd smile on his own muzzle. "Did I mention that I also have the ability to change into the forms of those that I've bonded with?"

"This is... really weird," Ark said as he walked over to the bed and touched Vasran's vulpine muzzle. "It's like I'm staring at my reflection that's not doing what I'm telling it to do. Does that mean I can turn into you?"

"Unfortunately the process only works in one direction," Vasran said. "So while I can turn into you my form is off-limits. Likewise when you convert someone you can turn into them and I will be able to as well, but they can't turn into you or me. Now if I've answered your question I was wondering if you could answer one of my own, a curious query I found while looking into your memories that I thought I would get from the fox's mouth."

"Oh?" Ark asked. "What's that?"

"What's a power bottom?" the alien creature inquired, which caused Ark to chuckle.

"I think this is something that I need to show you," Ark said as he climbed up onto the bed and pressed against the identical arctic fox. "Consider it my way of expressing my thanks to you." Vasran grinned as he saw that his tweaks that he had made to the vulpine's libido had kicked in, feeding on his lustful desires as he started to change back before the fox stopped him. "Stay in that form... it's not every day you can have sex with yourself and I want to check that off my bucket list."

Vasran huffed as he laid there in an unfamiliar vulpine form as he experienced a rare moment of control loss to his recent convert. Though he could have just commanded him to stop and went from there he had to admit that the pleasurable sensation he was experiencing was enough to let Ark continue in his ministrations. His hips bucked up slightly as he felt the other arctic fox push the tip of his cock into the waiting tailhole which caused both males to squirm. One Ark had secured it inside of him he began to lower himself down with the aid of both gravity and the fact his anal walls were still made of rubber.

Just as they started to get into it Vasran let out a hiss as Ark shifted his weight and put a hand on his still damaged chest. "Do not fear," the alien quickly said when he saw the look of concern on the fox's face. "I'm afraid I'm still quite injured, perhaps we have pushed this far enough for one night."

"Sorry..." Ark apologized as he gently placed a hand on the area that the alien said still hurt. "I guess I got caught up in the moment and that usually doesn't happen to me, I'll get off you so you can rest." When he tried to pull himself off however he found that the cock lodged inside him refused to budge and when he tried to at least move his hand away from Vasran's chest in order to try and pull it out he found his fingers stuck to the fur. "Hey... what the hell is going on here?"

Vasran quickly realized what was happening as he saw Ark's body begin to revert to its rubbery state as the fox's hand sank into the soft fur of what was essentially his own body. "It's another method our species has of healing," he said as he watched as Ark seemed to get pulled down into Vasran's body as he could feel the legs and hips of the other male start to sink in as well. "We can merge with our converted for a variety of things, one of them being emergency healing. It's not permanent but we're going to be sharing some very intimate space for a while."

To Vasran's surprise instead of freaking out and painfully pulling away like some have done when they unknowingly came together Ark responded by leaning in and pressing their muzzles together in a deep kiss. While a large part of that was the fact that they were bonded it appeared that he had found someone with quite the wild streak, someone that was not only kind but also seemed to be really into him. Was it possible that he had already found someone to share in his plan to get revenge for the discretions he had suffered that had caused him to land here in the first place? With his army decimated and his fleet destroyed he had to start somewhere, and since he had to destroy his ship to minimize his presence in this potentially hostile society he was going to be stuck there for a while.

As the two tongues licked around one another they soon became fused as well as Ark's muzzle melted into his. At the same time he had pressed his rubberized chest against the Vasran, whose furry body quickly got to work absorbing the mass into himself. Even as the rubber arctic fox melted into him he could feel the presence of his male organ inside of him, something that would have caused him to chuckle if his face wasn't completely covered with white latex. When his vision cleared he looked up just in time to see the rubber tail of the vulpine wagging for a bit around his crotch before it fell against his leg and melted over it, the fur regrowing over the mass of alien material as Vasran processed the added mass to either help his healing or to be compressed. Despite being on an alien planet with another creature inside him his exhaustion once more overtook him as he found himself closing his eyes...

When Vasran opened his eyes he slowly got up from the bed and breathed a sigh of relief when it no longer pained him to move. Ark's body had gone a long way to help him recover as he stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He could sense Ark's psyche watching through his eyes as well as he examined the lithe form of the arctic fox he had assimilated. When he ran his hands down his fur he could feel Ark shudder in pleasure from the familiar yet alien sensation of essentially someone else petting him. Once he had finished examining his new body he decided to get dressed and go out; with Ark now melded with him physically as well as mentally he can access the fox's memories with far greater speed as he put on clothes for the first time.

Once he had gotten himself completely dressed, which took one or two retries at Ark's mental suggestion, he opened the door that lead back into the main room of the apartment only to see the wolf roommate sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal. When he heard Ark mentally curse Vasran told him to be silent with the telepathy... even though their minds were linked it was still somewhat distracting to have a voice other than his own talking to him while he attempted to get through the awkward art of being a social chameleon. Luckily even though the roommate would know more about Ark's tendencies he would likely be more forgiving on potential mistakes and he had Ark's knowledge and experience to draw off of, which meant that interacting with him would be good practice.

"Hello there roommate," Vasran said, which caused the wolf to immediately look up from his bowl and stare at him mid-chew... and with hearing Ark sigh it was likely he already had not started out well as he immediately began to pull information. "Did you have a good weekend at your parents Rove?"

"Same as usual I guess," Rove replied as he went back to eating. "Got my laundry done, still in the car though but I'll pick it up later. Had to help my brother move all of today so that he could be in his new house before the big game started which was a pain in the neck. You?"

With the help of Ark the alien rattled off a few things that the arctic fox would have done during the weekend. The wolf just nodded and kept eating, then as Vasran moved towards the door the canine turned and asked what he was up to at this late hour. "Oh... I uh..." the alien stammered slightly before he was provided an excuse. "I thought I would go to the twenty-four hour place down the street and get a few things that I ran out of during the weekend. You want me to pick you up anything?"

Rove just shook his head and went back to eating, leaving Vasran with a clear window to get out of the dorm and down to his car. With it being so late there were very few people out and about and from those he could see they were on some sort of chemical substance that caused them to be physically and mentally impaired. With Ark's guidance he got to the car and, after adjusting the blanket that the fox had used to cover the alien blood stains, sat in the driver's seat for a few moments while he absorbed the skill of driving such a primitive vehicle.

"Hopefully you don't crash us like you did with my roommate," Vasran heard the stern voice of his vulpine counterpart. "You could have just left him be, he was totally tranced out from the drive and he would likely have not even noticed our existence."

Vasran looked up at the mirror and saw the furrowed eyes of his counterpart, a psychic trick that allowed him to talk with those he had melded with in order to have a one-on-one conversation with them that wasn't just in his head. "I need to acclimate myself to your world Ark," the alien explained. "I may have your knowledge and experiences but that still doesn't mean I have the skills to properly utilize it all yet. If we're going to continue with my plan for revenge I'm going to need all the help I can get, so put your feelings for the wolf aside so we can continue on."

The last bit of his lecture hit the arctic fox particularly well as the alien could see him blush and turn away in the reflection of the rear view mirror. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said while still looking away. "We just happen to be roommate and friends, that's all. Plus he likes women so I doubt that even if I did like him in that way that he would reciprocate those feelings."

"Well we could just convert him and see," Vasran suggested, which immediately turned the vulpine's bashfulness to anger.

"No!" he shouted, surprising even the alien as Ark realized his outburst and immediately began to backpedal. "I mean... I would really prefer it if you didn't turn or convert him or whatever it is you did to me. Plus wouldn't it be good to have one non-alien entity in our apartment in case someone comes sniffing about or something like that?"

Even though Vasran disagreed due to Rove being a potential liability and restricted what they could do in his new base of operations he shielded that particular thought and nodded in agreement. The one thing he needed most at the moment was the fox's loyalty; even with the substantial amount of healing he had done thanks to the vulpine he knew that his psyche was still weak from his previous battle. What he needed at the moment was to figure out what level of technology he was dealing with so he could try and salvage something together first, after that he would start growing his psionic powers once again. At the moment nothing would be gained by making Ark angry at him for doing something like bonding with his wannabe boyfriend, and when he told him as such he could feel the mental tension in the arctic fox immediately get released.

About that time Vasran finished with his assimilation of how to drive and turned on the car, driving out of the parking lot and into the streets of the quiet city...
