Episode 1: Wrong Turn, Right Path
#1 of Variant Arsenal
First installment of a new series of a reworked-ish project of mine. Hopefully, my brain won't start thinking of anything else and make me forget about it. XP
Julius let out a huff as he let the weights of the chest machine drop with a loud *CLANK* his tight tank top visibly soaked on the collar, pits, as well as down the chest and back. The german shephard's fur all matted and mussed up, just like his black hair with purple and orange strands on the right side, smoothing it back to wipe the sweat off of his face and out of his hair.
He looked over to the wall mirror of the gym and smiled, raising both arms and giving a hard flex, pretty proud of his workout today. "Phew, guess I better call it off for the day." He rolled his shoulders a couple of times before grabbing his stuff and heading to the locker rooms, passing by and greeting some other regulars he got to know and workout with every now and then.
The moment he began taking off his clothes, he could already feel the eyes on him, he didn't mind it, but it was still a tiny bit unnerving. Watching a behemoth of a man like him naked was quite the spectacle for those men in the locker room, mountains of tight and powerful muscles all over, wide upper body, beautifully shredded row of abs, roads of veins mapping his arms and legs, and not to mention that black monster of a cock dangling heavily and low, as well as those balls that sway like wrecking balls between his legs.
After a quick shower, and lots more eyes scanning his body from head to toe, he headed out of the gym, now dressed in a black t-shirt with some whimsical anime character and logo on the front, and some shorts, his glasses on his face. The bus ride home was pretty uneventful, he just grabbed a seat and put his pods in his ears, listening to some tunes to pass the time.
*PING* His phone dinged loudly indicating something new was added to his phone. "What the...?" He saw this new app added to his phone, it was shaped like a five-pointed star with different colored points, as well as a golden halo around it and darker golden background. "Huh... guess I better get my phone checked later..." He shrugged as he deleted the app and went back to his tunes.
As they came closer to his stop, he saw one of the large billboards floating around in the air advertising Variant Arsenal, a mobile game that took the world by storm a couple of years ago, with millions of downloads all over the world. The ad showed some clips from the recent arena matches, lots of people pittingthemselves and their Variants, powerful, anthropomorphic creatures against one another in awesome battles.
He then remembered a couple of his friends who got into the game themselves and showed him the app... its icon looked almost like the icon of the app that downloaded itself on his phone. "Hmm..." He contemplated it for a second before putting his phone away just as the bus stopped. The walk to his house form there was short, but once again, there was no shortage of wandering eyes taking his huge, jacked form in, both men and women, it was flattering, that's for sure.
He finally arrived at his house, which was located on a semi-secluded hill, a perfect place considering it's size. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either, pretty wide with two stories, the front door opens to a small hallway that leads to the living room and kitchen both in one area, the glass walls and sliding doors in front of them opening up to a luscious yard with a large swimming pool. The second floor is where the bedrooms at, including the master bedroom, his room, with a small library that he like to relax in every now and then with a nice book in hand.
He did well for himself over the years. A very nice inheritance from his favorite uncle -may he rest in peace- his previous job as a police officer paid well, but his current one as a bouncer at a nightclub paid much more (and was much safer, so to speak), he didn't really want much in life, so he wasn't interested in buying extravagant things or live the luxuriously comfortable life, he just prefered the comfortable part and he was happy, and very comfortable, with what he has now.
Once the door was closed, he took off his clothes, preferring to be comfortable in his birthday suit, especially since he doesn't have any guests expected today. "Hmm... what to do for dinner...?" He asked himself as he checked the fridge *PING* once again, his phone rang with a notification, checking it real quick... it was the same app. "Are you fucking-" He rolled his eyes and deleted the app again, tossing his phone to the side.
Only for it to ring again, this time with an incoming call, he instantly knew who it was as he set a ringtone for each of his friends, he picked it up and accepted the call. "Julius speaking."
[Eeeeyyyy~! Jul, my man! How's it hanging?] His friend Bruce asked on the other end, the striped hyena was always someone full of energy, even in his voice and how he talked.
"Hey man! Just got back home from the gym and now lounging about." He replied as he flopped back on the couch, turning the TV on but keeping the volume down.
[Oho~ What're you wearing~?] Bruce asked in the creepiest, most comical voice he could muster, adding some heavy breathing just for the extra comedic kick.
Julius just chuckled at his friend's antiques. "Nothing but my birthday suit."
[Ohhh-la-la~]
"Alright, enough about me, you creep. How are things going with you?"
[Meh, store's been running low on business today, might clockout early this time.] The hyena let out a bored huff, he works at a card shop that is affiliated with the newest mobile game Variant Arsenal.
"Sounds good. Would say 'the door's open if you want to hang out', but I know you'll be sitting right here beside me pretty soon regardless of what I say."
"You know me, can't get enough of my precious doggo~"
"Well, if you're coming over anyway, might as well invite the others. In fact, there's something I've been-" *PING* Just as he was speaking, his phone dinged again, that blasted app is back! "I seem to have an issue with my phone."
[That's what the 'ding' was about?]
"Probably, yeah."
[Hmm... alright, I'll call Austin and the others and bring 'em over. See ya then, dude. And don't open any sus apps or emails, ya hear?]
"Alright, alright. See ya when you get here." With that, he disconnected the call. He was curious about the app, but just like Bruce suggested, he wasn't going to open it, no matter how tempted he was.
A couple of hours later, their was a knock on the door, after putting on some boxers, he went to see who it was, smiling a bit as he saw the people through the peephole. He opened the door to let his friends in. "That was faster than expected. Come on in."
Bruce the hyena was the first in, strutting like he owned the place, wearing a loose, baggy tank top and shorts, his wild, mohawk-like mane standing proudly high on top of his head, died a bright, neon-green color. Behind him was the 'brains' of the group, Dennis the bald eagle, wearing a shirt and pants that appeared a couple of sizes too small as his bulking muscles stretched them out nicely, not to the limits as he was nowhere as huge as Julius, but he still filled out his clothes nicely, his blonde hair smoothed back into a ponytail.
Behind them were the half-brothers Dane and Kouji, husky and malamute respectively with similar black and white fur and patterns. Dane was much shorter than the others except for Bruce who was the shortest of the group, wearing a black cap backward, a tight tank top that defined his upper body nicely, including how perky his nipples were, and gym shorts that were slightly baggy but still did nothing to hide his bulge his black, shaggy hair with silver tips laying in a messy mop on top of his head, slightly covering his eyes. Kouji Was the second largest and tallest of the group, almost as tall and muscular as Julius himself, wearing a tank top that clung to his body like a second skin and the baggiest sweatpants he could find, but even then they still are barely able to hold his impressive endowment, his soft black mullet blonde strands and tips neatly combed back.
Bruce made a beeline to the fridge and rummaging through it. "Dude, would it kill you to have some beer in here? You do know non-alcoholic beer exists, right?" The canine just crossed and gave the hyena a raised brow 'Are you serious?' look. "Fine, fine. Guess I'm going beerless this afternoon. Oh and, uh, keep the door open, will ya?"
Julius raised his brow in question, but just as he turned to the door *smooch* he felt a small pair of lips gently and briefly pressed against his. "Hey handsome~" His boyfriend Kenneth giggled softly at the surprised look on the dog's face, the white-furred cat standing so short, he barely reached the dog's nipples, wearing a pink t-shirt with some whimsical-styled writing on the front and long jeans, carrying a backpack with his laptop and other computer essentials inside.
"Kenny!" Julius barked excitedly as he grabbed the smaller man in a very tight hug, smothering him against his huge body and showering his face in kisses and licks, his tail wagging a mile-a-minute. "So good to see you, babe~"
"Good to see you too, hun. Now can you please stop crushing me?" Although, Kenneth always loved Julius' bone-crushing hugs, evident by his growing boner under his pants. Julius obliged, but not before giving the feline a small pinch on his rear as he walked into his apartment, electing a small meow from him. "So, Bruce tells me you have an issue with your phone?" Dennis might've been the brains of the group, but Kenneth was the computer expert, so it was no surprise that Bruce called him.
"Oh, right..." Julius went into the bedroom to grab his phone that was charging, and brought it back over to the kitchen isle where Kenneth was setting up his equipment. "This strange app keeps popping up, no matter how many times I delete it. Even used anti-virus apps, sweeper apps, even turned my phone off for a bit, but it was already back there when I opened the phone again."
The others clamored around them as he showed the app in question. "Hey, isn't that the icon for VA (Variant Arsenal)?" Bruce was the first one to comment on that.
"Hmm... but it's quite different... same shape though." Dennis added as he pulled out his phone, swiping the screen until he found the original VA icon. It was a dull blue, the star looked the same but it was all blue, no other colors, same thing with the halo and background.
"Gonna run some scans here and there to see what we're dealing with." Kenneth explained as he turned to face his large boyfriend. "Which means no phone for you for a few hours."
"Awww..." Julius whined softly, ears drooping down and his tail hung limp.
"However, you're lucky that my schedule is very free today, and I can't step too far away from my computer while it's working." Kenneth stood up from his seat and gave one of Julius' firm pecs a poke. "Which means, I'll be staying over for the day." That bit of news got Julius all perked up and happy again, ears spiking high up and his tail wagging even faster than earlier, if that was possible.
"Well, since you've been hit with the Variant Virus, I can only guess that it has something to do with the game itself." Bruce suddenly piped in as he grabbed some soda from the fridge, downing half the bottle in one swing and letting out a small burp.
"Variant Virus?" Dane and Kouji asked in unison, heads tilted in curiousity.
"Gotta give the thing a name, no?" He replied as he walked over to Julius, giving a couple of pats on the back... and a sneaky one to the rear. "It could just something the devs are testing out and you just happened to be in the crossfire."
"Hmm... doesn't seem like any official code..." Kenneth replied as he tapped away at his computer that was hooked to Julius' phone. "This thing is a bit too complex for some game developers to have created..." He explained as he tapped away, eyes focused on the screen.
"So wait, it could be a legit virus!?" Julius was truly panicking now.
However, the cat turned to him, mouth spread in a confident smile. "If it was, babe, this program will take care of it." He gave the larger canine a couple of pats on the abs, giving a tiny scratch to appeas the scared doggo.
"Ah, phew! Thought I needed to get a new phone." He leaned down and gave the cat a kiss on the cheek. "You're the best, hun."
"Tell me something I don't know~" The otter replied smug face and puffed chest.
"Welp! Since you won't be having your phone for a while..." Dane started speaking as he grabbed one of the controllers of the few game consoles that Julius owned, waving it and his phone in the air in suggestion. "Game night?"
Everyone clearly grew excited at the idea, but they kept silent and turned to Julius expectantly. The large shepherd just shrugged. "Well, since you guys are here and all, no? Besides, if my issue is related to VA, I might need some help from my 'seniors'." With that, the others whooped and cheered loudly, Dane already on his phone on a pizza place's app putting in some orders while the others set up the console and some games to play.
Everyone was pretty occupied with their gaming that both Julius phone and the time was forgotten, by the time they were done it was getting late in the evening, so they called it quits for the night, bidding Julius and Kenneth good night before heading out, leaving the otter and canine alone together. Finally.
They sat in front of the TV watching some comedy drama rerun, with the otter sitting in the canine's lap, Julius holding him close to himself, but they weren't really focused on that, despite their eyes on the screen. "Mmmrrrr~ Babe... I can feel you pressing against my ass." Kenneth said as he wiggling his rear closer to Julius' crotch, hicking his tail up and out of the way.
"Mmfff~ Can't help it babe. You do some really strange things to me~" Julius leaned down, placing some small pecks on the otter's shoulder blade and neck, giving it a small suck, but being careful as not to leave a hickey.
"Oh yeah? Well, how about we get comfortable so I can do more~?" Without waiting for the canine's reply, Kenneth stood up and began making his way to the bedroom, taking slow steps and making a show of his swaying, athletic, bubble ass in his jeans and his suggestively waving his tail.
*BOING* The front of Julius' pants grew from simple bulge to intimidating tent so fast it was almost cartoonish, he eventually stood up and followed after Kenneth, his tail wagging all the way. Inside the bedroom, his ears perked up in excitement as he saw the cat taking off his shirt, the otter's athletic, swimmer's bod slowly exposed for him.
"Hng... come on... gah..." Kenneth struggled a bit with his shirt, but eventually got his head out, but right before he could lower his arms, he jumped as he felt a wet snout pressing against one of his pits. "Whoa! Haah... babe~" Julius didn't reply, he was busy admiring his boyfriend's musk.
"Hmmm~ My little poptart~" He got a small bap on the nose for that name, chuckling at the cat's reaction. He gave that name to Kenneth because his musk smelled and tasted almost like some sweet&sour desert.
"I told you not to call me that." Despite his complaints, he actually liked that nickname, but that was only reserved for his man, no one else is allowed to call him that.
"Well, you are~!" Julius replied as he pulled the cat closer, electing a small 'meep' out of him. "And know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna lick ya... and I'm gonna suck ya..." He leaned down, gently nuzzling his nose against the otter's. "And I'm gonna keep doing it till I reach that sweet, sweet core of yours~"
"Babe... if I was a woman, I'd be soaking wet right now." Kenneth said, which earned a chuckle from both of them... "So... when are you- WHOAH!" He was suddenly shoved back onto the bed, the canine already undoing and pulling his pants down, getting a nice surprise underneath.
"Oh ho~ Knew you were going commando! Well, makes my job easier." He didn't waste anytime, just lapping up Kenneth's cock into his mouth and sucking away, his long, canine tongue wrapping around the cat's shaft, letting it slowly grow in his mouth as his worked on it, eventually the tip began poking at his throat and even slipped in a bit, Julius just opening and relaxing his throat to accept the shaft in.
"Ah... b-babe! Ooohhh~" Kenneth moaned, his legs quivering as his boyfriend's tongue worked wonders on his cock. "Ah~!" He jumped a bit as he felt one of Julius' thick fingers poking and teasing his hole. "Hon... please..." He breathed out pleadingly, rubbing and gently scratching at the canine's head, electing a small moan from Julius that only vibrated around his cock.
With a long *slluuuurrrrrp* Julius pulled off of Kenneth's cock, the cat's shaft reaching an impressive 9 inches in length and looking pretty slim, but it was nowhere near Julius' own as the canine raised himself up, letting his obscene tent rest heavily between the cat's legs, Kenneth's hands rubbing the head with his thumbs while his other fingers teased the length.
Then it was time for the big reveal when Julius lowered his boxers, his cock flopping out heavily, gently tapping the cat's abs, leaving a small smear of pre on them. "Fuck... always so impressive, no matter how many times I see it~" Kenneth praised as he adjusted his position until he was on all fours facing the big canine, or his cock to be exact. "Mmmm, only natural I get a taste of my sweet puppy, as well~" Julius moaned loudly as Kenneth pressed his tongue against the dog's ballsac, slowly dragging his tongue over to his cock, continuing the slow, sensual trip all the way to the top, giving it a small flick with his tongue, dipping his tongue's tip into the piss slit, trying to get as much pre as he could.
Then took the head into his mouth, he knows his way around Julius' cock from the many times they had sex, but it was still a delicious mouthful, no matter how good he was at pleasing the canine. But he still knew what buttons to press and he just went for the biggest button he knew the dog to have, ever-so-slowly sliding further and further down on that cock, his throat slowly and quite visibly bulging as the german shepherd's cock slithered further and further in.
"Ah... ah fuck, babe!" Julius' entire body shivered and twitched with each inch sliding into Kenneth's throat, letting out a tiny howl of ecstasy as he felt the cat's nose pressing firmly against his crotch and his lips wrapped snugly around the base of his cock. "Aaaaahhhh, shiiiiiiit~!" Julius held Kenneth's head down, his strong grip keeping the cat in place, not like he wanted to pull away now anyway.
But, eventually, he needed to breath, Julius though held him down for a bit longer... "GYAAA!" Then finally let the otter go, Kenneth coughing a bit and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "Holy shit... *cough* such a monster..." He then moved further up the bed, laying on his back as he took off his pants, tossing them aside and spreading himself, exposing himself to his boyfriend. "Well, ready to pump me full, puppy~?"
"Whatever you wish, my little poptart~" Julius loomed over him, looking down lovingly at his man, their lips gently pressing and caressing against one another in a gentle kiss.
Unknown to them, some strange event was happening back in the living room, on the kitchen isle to be exact, as Kenneth's computer continued working Julius' phone began buzzing with static, images of various places flashing almost blindingly with each second, the flashing and static ended with the image of a figure in gold, undeterminable due to all the static. "...er... I... n... he..." Whatever the person on the other side was trying to say, it all came out as broken gibberish.
And the phone shut itself down, silencing it all.
The next day Julius woke up to the delicious smell of pancakes, his favorite breakfast, his hand patted the bed... and sat up as he realized that Kenneth wasn't there. "Hmm... he always wakes up so early." He mused to himself with a yawn as he got out of bed, very naked and not bothering to cover up, making his way downstairs to the kitchen, expecting the cat... but his eyes and ears perked up as he saw another lovely face. "Tiki!"
The athletic-buff river otter smiled softly as he looked to his boyfriend, flipping a pancake on the pan. "Morning, stud~" James, or Tiki as he prefers, was wearing literally nothing but an short apron that didn't hide much down below, clearly revealing the head of his cock dangling freely between his legs, but it provided proper protection against oil splatters from the pan. His smooth cyan-blue hair was tied back into a ponytail, almost glistening under the light and the cyber-yellow cowlick dangled a bit at the front of his hair, just above his forehead.
Julius grabbed him in a tight hug, peppering his cheek and head with kisses, his tail wagging so hard one would fear it will fly off at any moment. "When did you come back!?"
"Few minutes ago. Called your phone but you didn't answer, so I called Kenny and he came to pick me up from the airport." The otter replied as he easily platted the finished pancake, adding some syrup and couple of berries on top, all while the much larger canine was still hugging him tightly. "Saw you asleep and wanted to surprise ya~"
"Yeah, been having some issues with my phone since yesterday afternoon." Remembering his phone, Julius finally released the otter to grab it, turning it on... the app was still there, but his phone looked kinda bare after the major sweep that Kenneth did of it last night. "Hmm... guess it's not a virus after all..." He mused to himself as he grabbed a seat on the kitchen's bar, just as Tiki placed a plate in front of him.
"Hey, isn't that Variant Arsenal? Figured you'd hop aboard the hype train sooner or later." Seeing the canine's curious expression, Tiki continued with a small chuckle. "Babe, I've known you since middle school and so did Kenneth. You love looking for excitement and anything that gets your blood pumping." He spoke as he grabbed his own plate and sitting beside Julius, pointing with the fork in hand at the canine's phone. "That game would've been right down you're alley."
Julius had to look back to the first few months that Variant Arsenal released, technology seemed advance in leaps and bounds when around the time this game was supposed to be released, almost as if such a swift change in technology was all for it. He would be stuck to the TV, his phone, or computer, just watching hours worth of gameplay videos, campaign walkthroughs, or just PVP content, the last one was what caught his attention as the players duked it out against one another in both the game's world or in the real world in special stadiums all over the world. Watching those battles always got his blood pumping and he'd always feel energized, once he got too excited that he did an hour's worth of cardio.
"You're right. I might give it a try... someday." Julius said as he regarded the strange icon with both skepticism and interest.
"Good. Can't wait to have you join us, babe~" Tiki gave the big canine a small smooch on the cheek as he stood up, taking off the apron and tossing it on the table, getting behind the german shepherd. "Well, I was making pancakes ever since I got here so I'm gonna head off to bed... but~" He reached under Julius' pits, rubbing and groping at the canine's pecs, bouncing them in his hand. "How about giving me some... 'milk' before bed~?" His hands trailed over to Julius' nipples... and he pinched. Hard.
*THUNK* If the table wasn't nailed in place, it would've toppled over from being hit like that from below.
That afternoon, Julius was in the gym's cafeteria, fiddling around with his virus-free phone while sipping on some apple juice... the app was still there. "Well, Kenneth at least assured me it wasn't a virus." So what the hell was up with this app, it was more stubborn than his parents and that's saying something. He already finished his workout for the day and was planning on showering at home this time, so he was taking his time this afternoon... "Wouldn't hurt to try... would it?" He asked no one in particular... then pressed the persistent icon.
*FWWOOOOMMM*
He felt his entire body floated off to the ends of space and time, least that's how it felt like as he was hurled through a violent stream of colors and code, images of various places that both seemed familiar and foreign at the same time flashed like screens all around him, visions of a past not his own, flashes of many unknown futures, everything jumbled into one another in a blurry mess as he kept traveling through the tunnel of light.
Then just as suddenly as he was moving he stopped... in front of him, a figured made of pure light floated in front of him, just the sight of it was pretty calming and soothing. It slowly raised one arm, he did the same at exactly the same time...
Both balled their hands into fists...
And bumped them against one another... a tiny smile cracked on his lips and even without seeing clear expressions, he knew the figure of light did the same.
*FWWWOOOMMM*
"Hey... Hey!" He was suddenly startled awake, feeling someone tap his cheek, his eyes frantically looked around, seeing some of the gym patrons looking down at him with concern, one of the first-aid staff, a beefy tarantula male called to him again. "Hey, hey, you're okay. You're okay" He assured the german shepherd as Julius slowly sat up... only now noticing that he was on the cold-ish tile floor.
"What... happened?" He asked as he rubbed his head, trying to get rid of this pounding headache.
"You suddenly fell over and were unresponsive for a bit. We were this close to calling an ambulance." The spider replied as he stood up, helping the canine to his feet.
"Huh... that's weird. Never happened before..." Julius kept rubbing his head, the headache slowly subsiding.
"Must've drove yourself a bit too hard on the weights. I suggest you call it quits for the day and go rest."
"Y-Yeah... I was about to do that anyways, thanks. And sorry for giving ya'll a scare like that." He addressed the others who replied with their concerns for his health and also urged him to head straight home and rest, just like the spider did. He decided to do that now, just turning and walking away, a very slight wobble in his step as the world felt unsteady around him.
But just as he reached the door. "Hey! Wait!" He turned to see a tall (not as tall as himself though) and beefy bull terrier with a black spot around his right eye and short, brown fauxhawk with side and back fades, as well as cyan-blue tips, walking up to him, Julius' phone in hand. "You dropped this, sir."
"Oh shit, thanks man! And please, it's Julius, none of that 'sir' stuff. I believe we're around the same age, no?" As he spoke he got a good look of this man in front of him. He was JACKED that's for sure, powerful, bulging muscles casually mapped by veins all over, wide upper body, the tank top he wore hung tightly against his body while his shorts did the same to his thick and strong thighs, the bulge at the front was pretty prominent and quite visible with a perfect outline of hsi soft cock... then he noticed it twitching a bit.
Looking up at the bull terrier's face, he noticed a very visible blush as the smaller dog's eyes were focused on his big chest, the terrier discretely gulping down some nerves. With an amused smirk, Julius turned to face the shorter male, 'discretely' bouncing his pecs for the other canine to see. "So, what's your name?"
"Wha- huh?" The terrier shook his head out of his horny trance. "O-Oh! It's, uh... Bernard."
"Well, Bernard, you're a lifesaver. Thanks a bunch man." He said as he grabbed the door, turning the handle to leave as a thought crossed his mind. 'Huh... he looks kinda familiar...'
"Oh, n-no worries~!" With that, the bull terrier turned and walked away as Julius stepped out, but just then, Bernard got a message on his phone, he pulled it out to check the message real quick... And his face suddenly twisted into one of absolute horror as the color almost drained completely from his already white fur.
Julius walked down the street towards his bus station, listening to some tunes and gently bobbing his head to the beat... that is until the song disappeared and was replaced with an ear-raping static. "Ah!" He quickly yanked his earbuds out. "The fuck was that?" He pulled his phone out to see what was the issue... the Variant Arsenal's app was staticing a bit... then it stopped... and then opened itself. "What the!?" He began tapping at the screen as... something was loading, when that didn't work, he began pressing the power button... nothing, even the long press for shutting down the phone didn't work.
He was about to smash his phone into the pavement out of frustration... until a map appeared on the screen. "Huh?" It was showing his current position... and an arrow pointing to his left... into a semi-secluded alley. "I really shouldn't..." But after a solid minute of self-debating, curiosity got the better of him eventually and he stepped into the alley.
"Now then... Where did you want me to goOOOOOOOOoooo~~" His large frame suddenly disappeared into a strange hole made of crackling energy, his phone falling behind him seconds before it closed itself.
"---aaaaAAAAAHHHHH!" *BOOM* He landed on the hard floor, face first, with great force, leaving a cartoonish crater where he landed... *DONK* his phone landing right on his head before clattering gently on the ground, forcing him to clutch where it landed tightly. "Aaaahhh... SonovaBITCH!!" He barked in pain and anger as he rubbed his head to get rid of the stinging pain, surprisingly, that hurt much more than the landing.
"Uggghhh... where the hell am I?" He raised himself up on his knees, looking around himself as he did. The city looked familiar somehow, but it also looked like something out of an post-apocalypse movie and/or show, lots of crumbled and rusty buildings, broken roads with various foliage and flora growing out of the cracks, everything around him was in total ruin. "Oh man... what is this place?" He was about to stand up before noticing his phone beside him, quickly picking it up... then noticed his clothes. "The hell?"
His gym clothes were gone, replaced with a strange outfit. Black fingerless, leather gloves on both his hands, a black, sleeveless hoodie over his upper body with nothing underneath, showing off his large chest and shredded abs, with light yellow trims and details. Then a small breeze made him look down further, his face exploding in a blush as he saw the pants he was currently in, dark colored shorts worn over compression pants, but judging from the brisk wind he just felt, those pants were crotchless, with only something resembling a jockstrap's pouch covering his junk, but only barely.
"Well... least I'm dress decently... ish." He pocketed his phone... and noticed a visor in the same pocket, it was colored black with mostly yellow lenses with a faint shade of cyan-blue at the top. Something inside of him said that it'd be better if he put them on... so he did. "Whooooaaaaa~" He suddenly began seeing numbers and words, many numbers and words as the visors scanned his surroundings, the bottom showing two pars, what he read, as HP and MP, beside them were more numbers, on the upper left was a minimap, although it was pretty blurry, just showing his current position, beside it in small words he read 'Urban Apocalypse'.
"Wait a minute... isn't this one of VA's starting maps?" He remembered his friends talking about the game pretty frequently, including the maps, or rather Zones as they're called, so it instantly clicked in his head. "Wait... am I inside Variant Arsenal!?" He asked again, expecting some tutorial NPC to answer him... but nothing. "Great, guess I'm blinding through the whole thing."
He walked around, looking for any indication of where he was or, better yet, an exit, but so far nothing was popping in his sight, and the visor wasn't showing him anything worth notig. "From what the others tell me, these maps are super huge, I could be stuck here for days... months... or years!" As his thoughts began spiraling, he began panicking as he started jogging as fast and as far as his legs could, looking in all directions for any hint or even someone to talk to.
*beep... beep... beep* His visor began beeping and pointing a virtual arrow to his side. "Huh?" He looked in that direction until a targeting circle appeared, pointing at the building beside him. "Oh shit! Is someone there!?" He asked a bit too loudly, his heart filling with hope as he walked up to the building, but just as he tried to go in...
*Rrrrrmmmmbbbllle*
The earth below him shook and tremble, small bits of rubble shaking as if afraid of whatever was coming.
*beep beep beep beep beepbeepbeepbeep* The beeping quicked to a quicker pace. He played way too many scifi shooters to know what that meant.
"Oooooohhhhh, SHIT!" *BOOM* He jumped out of the way in the nick of a time as a giant beast smashed and tore through the concrete building like paper. Once the dust cloud cleared, the best's figure was revealed as a giant, feral boar, it's body made of menacing, black and purple energy that crackled dangerously, the upper part of it's body and face were covered with plate-like armor and mask, it's huge, dangerous tusks curled up almost like a ram's horns. "Well, aren't you a pretty little thing." Julius joked and let out a week, nervous chuckle, he knew he was in deep trouble.
With a monstrous roar unlike any feral boar he saw in his life, the beast charged at him, head hanging low with it's tusks aimed straight forward. "Oh SHIT!" He jumped out of the way again, this time concentrating all of his power into his legs, the beast dashed below him and smashing into another building. "HAH! Dumbass!" He mocked as he made an L with his hand on his forehead... then realized his predicament: He jumped a way too high. "Oh, whoooaaa, shiiiiiii-" *BOOM* He landed on the ground hard, but again, surprisingly, it wasn't as painful as he expected, but it still hurt. "Goddammit..."
He barely got time to stand up as the boar was charging at him again, a bit faster and more angrily this time. "Oh no, oh no, nononono!" Within a second to spare from the impact, he held his arms in front of him in a cross right before those horns slammed into him, with supernatural force and rage, he was sent flying far, far away.
As he flew away *SMASH* he slammed into the crumbling wall of a tall building, his body slamming and crashing through other, smaller walls, before he smashed out of the other side. "AAAAAHHHHH!" *BOOM* Until he finally landed on a hard, tile floor in the cartoonish position of his face on the ground and ass in the air. "Oooowwww..." He groaned in immense pain, as that horn ran from the monster boar hurt MUCH more than him flying through all of those walls and crashing wherever he was now. His hands felt pretty numb and throbbed with pain, his chest also felt a bit tight as he was sure he broke a rib bone or two.
But he can't sit still and wait for help, that monster only made his desire to get out of there that much stronger, so gritting his teeth through the pain, he slowly raised himself to stand up, albeit weakly, but he barely got time to rest as he looked up... and in the darkness of the crumbling floors above him, noticed many golden eyes glaring at him hungrily, the malicious growling gave him a good idea of what kind of monsters those were. "Uh... Hey there..." He grinned nervously, waving his hand weakly.
Just then, all the eyes began glowing brightly...
...
"MOTHERFUCKEEEEEERRR!!!" He burst out of a door behind him onto the wide street outside *BOOM* followed by what could only be considered a tidal wave of werewolf-like monsters that chased after him, fangs bared and clawed hands outstretched, their bodies made out of the same ominous energy as the boar from earlier and had a similar, ominous metallic masks on their faces.
Everything inside of Julius burned and throbbed in pain, his already tight chest felt like it was being crushed under the same air it was pumping, but he needed to get away from these monsters as fast as possible, looking frantically in all directions, seeing an emergency ladder beside a nearby building, he made a mad dash toward it, once again jumping an impressive distance and grabbing onto the ladder, quickly lifting his body up to climb, just as the 'wave' of werewolves slammed into the wall below him, he didn't stop until he was on the roof, then looked down, a mocking grin on his face. "HAH! Let's see you chase me now, fleabags!" His bravado quickly disappeared as it came as he watched them, one by one, dig their claws into the wall and start climbing, others effortlessly hopped on the railings of the emergency ladders on the other building. "I really need to keep my mouth shut!" He barely began dashing in the other direction when the werewolves began jumping high up before landing effortlessly on the same roof, resuming the chase.
He jumped and parkoured his way from rooftop to rooftop, not even daring to look back as he could still hear all the snarling, growling, and howling of hunger, he didn't think much of it as he jumped over a very long distance for a roof top on the other side, having to roll as he landed and looked over to the werewolves who stood there, unable to jump after him at this long distance. "YEAH! Can't jump for shit can ya!?" He screamed at them from the top of his lungs, giving them the bird with both hands before turning around with a smug and satisfied look on his face.
But he didn't get far before *WHAM* a large and heavy hand smacked his side, sending him flying a good distance before slamming hard against the metal beams of a billboard, cracking it before the board was sent toppling and falling the ground below, if his ribs weren't broken before, they sure felt like such right now. "Right... mouth shut..." He groaned as he stood up with lots of effort, wincing and tensing in great pain, then he saw his assailant.
It was a much, MUCH larger werewolf, almost double his own size in both height and muscle mass, he didn't have armor like the other werewolves, but the mask was there, it looked sleeker than the masks he saw so far with an intricate design that was quite pretty, with a luscious and beautiful mane of bright energy crackling and flowing behind him. This werewolf's body also looked more 'normal' than the others, it still had this faint but menacing glow of energy, but it appeared more solid and... less volatile than the boar and smaller werewolves.
But the creepiest thing? He was grinning, actually grinning with sadistic satisfaction at seeing the pained and bruised canine below him.
"Let me guess... Boss monster?" Julius asked between pants, trying to catch his breath. But the werewolf had other ideas. *WHAM* Another full body slap sent Julius flying into multiple large buildings behind, landing on the ground of what looked like the city's center, skidding painfully against the floor before slamming to a halt against a car. "Nghhaaah fuck... this is bad..." He quickly got out of the way from the incoming attack as he saw the werewolf Hulk-jumping high in the air towards him, landing right on the car and flattening it completely.
But despite his size, the werewolf was much faster than he was, quickly dashing, almost looked like he was flying, after him, this time slamming a large fist right into Julius' abdomen, sending him flying, once more, into a very sturdy wall, leaving a crater-like crack from the impact. However, he didn't even get the time to fall to the ground as he was quickly grabbed by his throat, shoved hard against the same wall as the werewolf held him up, grinning madly at him as he struggled with what little strength left to get out of that strong grip.
"Can't we... ngh... talk this... out?" The werewolf kept grinning like a madman, tilting his head to the side as drool began seeping out of the side, Julius made the mistake of looking down... and his entire being filled with dread as he saw the werewolf's cock emerging out of his sheath a bit too quickly, the knot slipping out in the end, it had the same kind of energy glow as his mane did. "Oh... shit..." He began struggling harder as the wolf let out a series of low growls, almost like it was laughing at his squirming, the other hand slowly inching towards him, Julius could do nothing but close and hope that his end would be quick.
*SLASH* He suddenly found himself on the floor, gasping for precious air as the werewolf's severed arm landed with a heavy thud beside him, the beast roaring out in anger and pain as it clutched the stump where his arm was, volatile energy dripping out of it like blood on the floor.
Suddenly, another figure landed right in front of Julius, he tried looking up at his savior, but his vision was becoming so blurry and unfocused, he couldn't even hear the person as they tried to speak to him. Just then, a golden portal, similar to the whole he fell through earlier appeared in front of him, he didn't need to be told to realize what this person was doing as he literally crawled toward it, his body screaming in pain from each and every move he made.
Just as he finally fell through, he saw the angry werewolf, severed arm already regenerated, roaring at the one who ruined his fun before the two figures charged at each other. At that moment, he finally fell through the portal.
