#10 of Dinosauria

And here is chapter 10 of my series with Zylen Andel, where our last boy is made~


There a flash of prismatic light within the underwater chemical research plant. The scientists covered their eyes until the light faded, revealing a team of barely clothed dinosaur anthros. The tyrannosaur stepped forward towards them and spoke calmly and coolly, "Hello Dr. Abraham. I hear you've got a shark problem."

"Wha...?" the startled cheetah male started, but stopped, recognizing the tyrannosaur as the one that beat up that giant squirrel a few weeks back. "Yes! I'm not sure why he's attacking us. We're not dumping anything into the water. My team and I are being very careful about keeping the environment safe."

"I believe you. Plus, I've already scanned the entire facility and know for a fact, you're telling the truth." Seth looked at the cheetah, "But we can talk about his motives later. The facility is damaged and is in danger of collapsing."

"I know that! We've been trying to fix it, but this facility is quite large and there's only a few of us here." Remembering what the leader of the dinosaur group had just said, "You said you scanned the facility, but forgive me, I don't see any equipment on you."

Seth looked down and saw that most of his muscular body was exposed except for the gold speedo that didn't do much to conceal his package. He grinned softly at the thought of his team being equally dressed, though with different colors. "I have an associate who is very skilled with technology remotely feeding me all the info he gathers. Now please, I can't do my job AND keep you all safe, especially if that shark comes back. My raptor friends are going to get you all out to safety while the rest of my team fixes this facility for you. Understand?"

"We can't just leave you to fix our..." The scientist realized that they'd probably be in the way of the much larger dinosaurs. Even though they knew the facility better, they probably would just end up slowing down the work. "Okay. Just keep yourselves safe too. This facility can be replaced. You're lives can't be."

A raptor wearing a blue speedo walked up to the cheetah and looped his arm with his, smiling a charming smile at the older male, "Don't worry too much about us. We'll be fine."

More of the prismatic light flashes rang through the facility as the raptors teleported all the scientists to safety. Then went room by room looking for more of the workers until they were certain that every civilian was safe and sound. They returned to the main room, which was a surprisingly large room that had plenty of space for even the largest of the team members to stretch out. Queen was kneeling by one of the computers, carefully using nanite tendrils extending from his fingers to manipulate the small keyboard.

"According to the systems themselves there's some minor wiring issues in one of the tech labs. There are a few cracks in the acrylic plastic windows on level 1, 2, and 4 labs, with the one on level 4 spreading quickly. One of the support pillars on the outside of the facility is nearly chewed through. There's a chemical spill in one of the chemical storage rooms. And the communications array got knocked out, but that's good for us for now. I recommend that being one of the last things we fix."

Seth immediately went to work, "Okay. Raptors, get everyone in position and relay info between everyone." The raptors obeyed the further commands sent through the nanites so everyone could work as fast as possible, moving at the speed of their thoughts.

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

Bishop 1 and Emerald arrive at the tech lab with the door open. They hear the buzzing and see the flashing of the electrical bursts within. The air smelled of cooked oxygen and ozone, leaving them both nervous about the damage within. Bishop 1 turned to Emerald, signified by the shining green speedo, "You stay here, I may need a quick exit." The brachiosaur, who was wearing a brown speedo, stepped over the threshold and immediately felt electric air on his scales, which made his eyes burn. Though because the nanites granted him a basic boost to his body's endurance he fought through the pain easily.

As soon as he was fully in the room, he saw the far-right wall with a thick metal panel had been knocked down. The panel was on the floor and looked as if the wall behind it had been knocked into by something heavy. The dent from the outer metal had forced wires together and their mutual heat had melted the insulation around them, causing the runaway electrical failure. Bishop 1 reached his hand into the panel, the lightning touching his hand but seemingly having little effect until the electricity powers down just inside this room. A surge of nanites flowed out of his flesh and onto the wires and walls; cleaning, repairing, and reinforcing the wires.

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

Arriving on Level 4, at the indicated room where the damage was reported, Knight 2, sporting a lime green speedo, looked around the modestly decorated medical room. He saw tables and various medical examining equipment, but then froze as he heard a tiny barely perceptible cracking of glass. The ankylosaur turned towards Ruby, the raptor in the red speedo that brought him here, "GET OUT AND CLOSE THE DOOR NOW!"

There was a flash of light and the shifting of metal as the raptor did as he was told, locking the door once it was closed. Inside the room Knight 2 rushed around the corner just in time to see the four-inch thick glass shatter. The pressure of the water on the outside forced the water into the less pressurized room. Knight 2 took a deep breath and hardened his flesh from skin to bone. This increased his overall density and allowed him to walk through the forceful spray of water that would've surely knocked anyone else over and doomed them to drown. Once he reached the window, he pressed his hands to the open hole and watched underwater as the nanites grew from his scales and reconstructed themselves into a crystalline structure that would act as close to glass as possible.

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

In one of the top most room of the facility the other knight of the team, the stegosaurus in the magenta speedo, arrives with Onyx to see and - most disturbingly - hear the ceiling buckling. Reacting quickly, Knight 1 concentrates and dense spikes shoot out from his body. Each spike is compacted with layers on layers of the nanites. The spines push against the crumpling ceiling and spread out to create a small but wide surface area for the rest of the spike to anchor into the floor and slow down the crushing. When the large spikes had set themselves properly in place, the stegosaurus literally walked through them as if his body suddenly became liquid that passed around the spikes. He watched more of the nanites spread out from the spikes in a black curtain over the damaged portions of the ceiling and begin to repair it.

There was a tugging on his tail and he turned to see the black speedo donning raptor Onyx pointing towards the window, his voice trembling, "There's something out there."

"What?" Knight 1 looked towards the window and he felt his heart leap into his throat. There right outside the few inches of glass was a shadowy figure staring at them with dark eyes. The creature moved faster than expected, swimming away, but then colliding with the window itself, making a crack punch all the way through the glass. The stegosaurus threw a hand forward, guided by the reactions of the consciousness controlling the nanites that made up his body. A swarm of the nanites launched towards the window and changed their composition to match that of the metallic alloy wall around the window, effectively walling it off. "Maybe those scientists were right. There is a monster out there."

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

Another flash of light brought another pair of dinosaurs close to the next room. "That's strange," Amber said, the raptor in the yellow speedo, looking towards the chemical storage room, "I targeted the center of the room."

The triceratops, donning a teal speedo, tilted his head in confusion, "That is strange." He pushed opened the door and saw a flash of light this time from chemical fires that had ignited in the room when the various chemical interacted with each other after their containers shattered. "I guess we know why now. Thank you Trihexa."

You are both welcome.

"Okay, you stay here, Amber." Rook 2 concentrated and shimmering violet shield appeared around his body in the form of a dome centered on the top of his head. He entered the chemical storage room and shut the door behind him. The fires would pose no real threat to him as long the shield was up, but what was concerning was the chemical fires were burning hot enough to begin melting the floor. "If these chemicals spread the fire goes with them. Okay... what do I do?"

Rook 2 looked around the room, and knowing that the power had been shut off earlier - or more accurately - drained, meant that the fire suppression system wasn't online. He couldn't break the window and flood the room as he was unsure how the chemicals would react to the overabundance of hydrogen and oxygen. He suddenly got a strange idea and concentrated again, holding his breath and pushing all the oxygen out of the interior of his domed energy shield. With a vacuum now inside, he expanded the dome until it had overtaken the interior of the entire room. The fires continued until the chemicals that were feeding them burnt out and with a lack of anymore fuel in the form of oxygen, the fires were snuffed out. The dome retracts and Rook 2 took a deep breath, smiling at his quick thinking, but he saw a shadowed figure swim quickly across the glass window. "What the hell was that?"

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

Armaseth and Sapphire teleported next to the damaged support pillar, the pair having modified their lungs to be able to efficiently diffuse the oxygen from the water around them. They wouldn't be able to talk, but at least they could breathe. The pillar did in fact show signs of claw marks about a few inches deep... but more frightening were the very apparent teeth marks. The width of the jaws could easily fit around the small raptor's body. They both looked at each other with concern, with Seth sending a message directly to the raptor's mind, "Get back in the lab. I can fix this."

The blue speedo sporting raptor shook his head, "Uh-uh, I'm not leaving you alone out here!"

"You're a brave one Sapphire. Watch my back then." Seth turned towards the pillar to start repairing it, but suddenly feels a very strong impact against his side. He screamed into the water when sharp pain exploded into his arm. Both he and Sapphire looked in horror as the large shark had charged the tyrannosaurus and bit down on his arm. Seth threw a punch to the shark's face, trying to dislodge the aggressor's jaws. Sapphire considered helping Seth at first, but he knew that Seth could handle the fight easier if he wasn't worried about the raptor getting hurt. So, instead Sapphire moved to the pillar and watched his nanites reproduce from his flesh and sink into the pillar copying its composition and reconstructing it on a molecular level.

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

Appearing on the outside of the facility as well were Rook 1 and two of the raptor brothers; Topaz and Pearl in their orange and white speedos respectively. The pterodactyl, in a pink speedo, was entirely out of his element in the water, but he wouldn't be in the water for long. The current communications array was entirely destroyed, leaving only wreckage and pieces behind. The three males each produced a mass of nanites that took the pieces of broken wreckage and reconstructed the pieces as best they could, reproducing more nanites to fully repair the equipment. The small satellite-looking devices were constructed to be tougher and harder to destroy while also being more sensitive to the signals that passed through them.

Flipping through the water, his wings acting more like giant fins, Rook 1 circled around the devices, leaving a trail of nanites behind him. All three males held their hands out and began to shape the miasma of black nanites into the dome that changed their structure to that of glass. The dome would shield the comms devices from whatever destroyed them, leaving them all with a sense of accomplishment. Their triumph was dashed suddenly as they heard Seth's urgent voice, "Rook 1, Topaz, and Pearl. Get inside now!"

They barely had time to wonder what was causing their leader's stressful voice, before they all saw the reason quickly swimming towards them. A large black figure slicing through the water with experienced skill, angry eyes that seemed to be glowing blue glared at them. Sharp teeth were bare in a clear intent of what was going to happen when the figure got to them. The raptors swam quickly to the get a hold of Rook 1 so they could teleport them all safely back into the facility.

Just when the teeth looked poised to slice through the pterodactyl, there was a thunderous impact that sent the three smaller males flying. Queen had hit the figure broadside and sent him crashing into the fully reinforced room that the stegosaur had fixed. They all saw the figure was now was shark, who quickly recovered and swam up to fight the gigantosaurus. Topaz and Pearl grabbed Rook 1 and teleported themselves back inside the facility, each one holding tight to each other.

Outside, Queen spun in the water, sending a forceful kick into the shark's side, but then swimming away, turning back to make sure that he was being followed. The shark was furious as he swam after him, that blind fury would be his downfall. With Queen's body only being covered by a silver speedo his mobility wasn't compromised as he used tiny fins on his ankles and tail to slice through the water, even his hands became webbed so that he could use his immense strength to push himself through the water. The shark was experienced, but Queen had the adaptiveness to be his equal. Turning around a large rock wall, he saw his destination; the facility's moon pool. His powerful strokes and hydrodynamic modifications allowed him to shred through the water swiftly. But a quick turn made him stop with his back towards the moon pool's opening. The shark continued to surge towards him in a blind rage, which would make springing the trap all the easier. The shark collided with Queen, who wrapped his arms tightly around the shark, using his feet and tail to propel them both up. Breaking the surface of the moon pool and entering the pressurized room beyond brought the colossal males out of the weightless water and back into gravity.

The males thudded on the metal floor, with Queen additionally wrapping his legs and tail around the legs and tail of the shark. "Okay King! I got him! GAH!" The shark bit into his neck and shoulder, as the only tactic he had left was to use his teeth. He growled and glared at the gathering dinosaurs, not letting go of the bloody meat in his mouth. Queen smirked and looked at the shark as best he could with his limited neck mobility, "You dumb bastard. Fine we'll do it your way."

The taste of blood filled the shark's mouth, but it was far more than even the neck wound would've suggested. He found he wasn't able to remove his teeth either, as if the flesh had become solid around each of the sharp tooth. The large volume of blood forced its way into his throat and belly, but it felt as if the warm liquid disappeared for a moment and the flesh softened around the teeth, allowing the shark to let go of the bite. He grunted as a solid punch landed on the left side of his face, making him roll off to the side.

The shark stood up angry and looking at the whole group, "Who are you? Where are the scientists? They're the ones I want to kill!"

"You won't be killing anyone today," Armaseth said as he took a moment to admire the shark's body. Most of his scales were a deep royal blue, the kind of color that seemed to shine in the right light, but would become nearly invisible underwater. There were also black stripes along his arms, sides, and thighs. He was a toned and muscled male from his years of swimming, even his tail seemed large and stronger than it should be. The thick slabs of pecs dripped with water, some droplets leaking off his erect nipples. The wall of his abs was cut and shredded without an ounce of visible softness anywhere on them. The real treat for the tyrannosaur was seeing the two huge cocks hanging between thick meaty thighs, with a large sac of testicles hanging behind the twin shafts.

"I think I'll keep your color scheme. It would make tactical sense, after all." King looked at the shark and smiled, "He's all yours."

"What? What are you ta...?" The shark touched his belly, feeling something shifting inside of him. Then he felt something on his face, he looked down and saw that his snout was extending a bit, changing into more of a triangle, his teeth changing as well. His skin itched as it changed too, forming scales and realigning themselves into new patterns that didn't resemble a shark at all. It looked and felt like his body was losing all of its consistency. He felt his bones stretching, some moving into new positions, and still some disappearing all together. He fell to his knees, which made a sickening crunch, but there was absolutely no pain. The colors of his skin were reflected by his new scales and his body even grew a bit larger, weaving more muscles into his form to make him even stronger. He felt his spine snap and then grow taller, new nerves growing with a soft tingling radiating from his spine.

To the changing male's surprise, his body began to feel really good. He watched curiously, feeling a sort of detachment as his two thick penises merged into one. The skin grew together and the now singular shaft grew a bit wider, but doubled its length. As soon as this process was done, the shifting scaled male felt a wave of pleasure wash over him. His chest swelled even larger as the muscles there grew thicker with more power, but still retained their flexible strength as well. The shredded abs got a bit thicker as well, keeping proportion with the growing latissimus and oblique muscles. His core was solid and the growing muscles moved outward towards the trapezius and deltoid muscles. Beneath the core the gluteus, quadricep, and hamstring muscles all got the same treatment, gaining power but retaining this flexibility.

The rest of his extremities were developed the same way, ensuring that he had strong and flexible muscles. The former shark had now completely transformed into a mosasaurus, leaving the gathered group all smiling with tents in their colored speedos. Watching someone get converted and join the collective conscious they share always got them excited, especially because they already knew what Seth was going to use this one for.

Seth stepped towards the mosasaurus and grinned, "Don't bother getting up." The tyrannosaur stepped around the prone and still glaring mosasaurus, but that expressions changed when Seth lifted a huge foot and held it over the new conversion's crotch. "You like throwing your weight around, big boy? Does it make you feel strong?" Seth stepped down and smiled at the grunt he heard. His weight was barely on him and he was already struggling? "Well, now you'll be dealing with my weight." Seth stepped up, supporting himself entirely on the thrashing male's groin. The nanites that reconstructed the mosasaurus' body had made it much more robust, and Seth had no trouble at all keeping his balance. The mosasaurus squirmed and trashed, but soon tired himself out.

Once the body under his foot settled, Seth continued walking up the body, steeping on the abs, then his chest, and finally he pressed a foot down onto the mosasaurus' face. "Lick my foot."

"Get the fu-!" the mosasaurus winced as a claw pierced his right pec, but the nanites repaired it quickly. He looked up at the smug tyrannosaur still smiling down on him, "NO! AHHHH!!"

Another stab of Seth's claws stabbed into the meaty pec, but this time, Seth made sure the nanites wouldn't heal him and he'd only feel the hot slicing pain of his claws inside his flesh. "Are you sure? Because I can start flexing my right toes. Lick my foot."

The pain was excruciating and his body felt tired... why was he so tired? He hadn't been this tired in so very long. The mosasaurus felt the foot against his face and wanted to bite the toes off, to rip the skin from that damn foot, but that thought was suddenly buried into a forgotten part of his mind. The pain in his chest remained though and so did the order ringing in his head. He looked at the foot, the strong shape commanded his attention. And those claws seemed to shine even though they were the darkest black he'd ever seen. His mouth ran dry and suddenly he wanted very much to taste those scales. Slowly, but obediently, he stuck his tongue out and drug the wet muscle along the underside of the foot pressing into his face. Seth relaxed the claws on his other foot and the nanites repaired the mosasaurus' pec, giving him a wave of endorphins and making him moan against the foot.

Seth grinned down on the mosasaurus, "From now on, this is your place. You will follow my every order and be a part of my team. The last member claimed as Bishop 2. You go ahead and lick this foot, then I'll let you lick my other foot. Then we can go home." The mosasaurus was still glaring at Seth as if he was still angry, but wasn't sure what he was still angry about. Despite the death glare, the mosasaurus was obediently servicing his King's feet with long, slow, and deliberate licks of his long tongue.
