The next in The System Outbreak Series

The System had infected all of the inhabitants of the crew... or has it? Well, a farmer and his family are about to find out...

I hope you all enjoy! I would love to hear what you think! ^.^


"Welcome to the system Dog." Prot froze up as Wolf reached his hand towards his face, thoughts of how to escape rushed through his mind but found that as he looked into the changed wolf's eyes that his mind was slowing down. The hands started to pull Prot's helmet off, but before the helmet disconnected the ship violently twisted as a meteorite struck the nose of the ship.

Wolf didn't even grunt as he flew across the cabin and struck the wall. All of the lines on his body disappeared leaving his body limp as he seemed to turn off, Prot himself was winded as his body had painfully pulled against the chair's straps. Prot coughed and spat into his suit which quickly cleared away the fluid, "Damn... that was too close..." The Shepard's ears flicked nervously as he took deep breathes, "I'd better eject this guy, I can't have him getting to earth. Who knows what the government might do if they find out about this whole debacle..."

As Prot let himself get reoriented he realized that the stars were moving away at an extremely fast rate, "What the..." He tried to use the steering column to reorient the spaceship but as the ship started to heat up Prot finally realized what was going on. "Oh shit..." The ship had already entered earth's orbit. Prot, his passenger, and the ship were on their way to a crash landing...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Barit wiped his forehead as he looked at the fields as they were cultivated by his sons, the snake had always believed that farming should be done by real people, not some robotic hunks of junk. His tongue lashed out a few times to catch the scent in the air, the air was clean and smelled of flowers. "What a beautiful day..." He muttered as his gaze turned up to the sky, even though the sun was blazing it was truly a gorgeous day with barely any clouds clogging up the sky.

The snake's scales were a gorgeous emerald green, his eyes were a piercing blue that seemed to see everything. Barit's oldest son Garet, sighed as he wiped his forehead and leaned up from using the hoe, "How's the weather looking dad?" Barit smiled at him.

"It's looking like the weather will wait for us to finish up harvesting crops, though who knows... Mother Nature does have a bit of a temper." The sons nodded agreeing with their father. The family only knew too well at how fickle mother nature could be, the harvesting time the previous year had robbed their family of all of their crops.

Barit closed his eyes as a breeze blew by, the day truly was perfect for crops. "She would've loved this..." He muttered, thinking about his long passed wife. The farmer sighed, "It's not time to think about that right now, crops to be harvested." He opened his eyes and froze as he saw a shadow sliding across the ground, "What the..." His gaze once more rose to the sky widening as they caught sight of what was making the enormous shadow, "Oh shit... Boys! Get over here, right now!" His sons all looked up in shock at their father before looking up as well, they all froze as they saw the shape falling.

Garet was the first to react, "Guys, get over there now!" He shoved his younger brothers away from the field forcing them to slide quickly over to their father before following suit, the young snake barely made it before the flaming ship slammed into the field causing him to fly into his family as dirt flew up into the air and rain down on the family of snakes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gray screamed in terror as his house shook violently, the bull had been watching his holo-television enjoying a football game up until the crash. "What in the world is going on outside?!" He bellowed, his mind flew to one of his farming machines exploding... again. "I swear if one of those fucking machines exploded again I'm going to call Xenos and demand my money back!"

Gray pulled on a pair of pants and a polo shirt before rushing outside, as the bull ran out it appeared that he wasn't the only one rushing out. All of the neighboring farmers nearby were either running or driving in the same direction, towards Barit's house. "Stone age Barit...? No, he doesn't have any machinery that could make that much of an explosion..." But the dust hanging in the air offered the contrary, it looked as if a bomb had exploded right next to the Snake's house. Even if Barit wasn't on Gray's list of top ten people, he knew that he couldn't just leave them alone. "Shit..." He muttered before running into his garage and starting up his car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The air was clogged with dirt, nothing could be seen except for the red hot metal from the spaceship. The dirt hitting the ground was the only sound that could be heard. It was as if the dirt sustained its own little world, the blue world of just a few minutes ago was destroyed by the metal ship that had fallen from space. Barit was the first of the snake family to awaken, coughs racked his body as he slowly pulled himself up. The snake pushed his son Garet off onto the ground wincing as the young man's body collided with the ground, "Sorry..." His voice was like a gunshot in the alien world that the dirty air had created, he slowly stood straight letting dirt pour off of him.

The snake was awestruck by the pillar of metal sticking out of what used to be his field, "What in the world..." Barit slowly slid towards the ship, dirt easily pushed to the sides leaving a trail behind him as his gaze turned skyward once more. As the farmer stopped to stare at the spaceship, voices arose from behind him causing the snake to turn. All of the local farmers were arriving in their cars. It was as if the spell of the dirt was dissipated by the arrival of the farmers, no longer was he in an alien world. He was once more on earth.

"Barit!" The snake's head slowly turned to aknowledge an approaching bull, once more the bull called out to him. "Barit! Are you alright?!"

As the furred farmers gathered around him Barit found his tongue once more, "Y... yes Gray... I'm fine. The only thing that isn't is..." His gaze turned to his destroyed fields, "My livelihood..."

Letting out a deep sigh, Gray scratched his head. "Well I'm glad that you're okay... how about your sons?" Barit motioned towards the waking snakes by his house, Gray let out a snort as some dirt wafted into his nose. "That's good, now do you know what this giant hunk is?"

All of the farmers were staring at the giant pillar of metal that had interupted their peaceful life style, "I think it's a spaceship..."

Gray scratched his chin, "Well... it looks like the door is up there, if we want to see why this ship crashed..." He then pushed up the sleeves of his polo shirt, "We'd best get to pushing this sucker down..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It took a lot of hard work, all of the farmers grabbed their tow ropes and attached them to their cars before tying them around the ship. Barit and Gray stood back as the sound of engines revving filled the air, at first they thought that their effort was having no effect on the ship but then the ship started to shift in the dirt. It was a very gradual change, but slowly the ship started to tilt to the side, they all braced themselves as another avalanche of dirt flew into the sky as the metal struck ground.

After letting the dirt clear out of the air, Gray and Barit approached the door with a crowbar to pry it open. What surprised the two was that the door flew open at the very touch of their hands, their bodies stiffened for a moment as the air of the ship met the air of earth with a hiss. But after a moment they relaxed and walked into the hunk of metal. The shuttle's interior seemed to be fairly fucked up, Gray grunted as a pipe collapsed onto his back. "Shit...!"

Barit looked at the bull with concern flashing in his slitted eyes, "Are you alright?" Gray straightened up and brushed off his shirt before waving away the Snake's concern, Barit sighed but continued into the ship anyways. At first they thought that there was nobody in the ship until they saw a bent over form in the pilot's seat, "Oh my god..." Barit hissed as he saw the blood caking the inside of the suit's helmet. "Shit! We need to get this guy in right now!"

Gray couldn't agree more as they unstrapped the form of the pilot and hastily carried the body out, everybody outside gasped as they saw the astronaut. Grunting in irritation Gray waved them out of their way, "Get your asses out of the way, can't you see this guy is hurt?!" People quickly moved out of their way after the bull's 'kind' words and let them into the house, Gray turned his attention to Garet before walking into the Snake's home. "Garet, why don't you check out the inside of the ship? We only found this guy, you need to see if there are any other survivors. Alright?"

Garet nodded, "Alright."

Glancing around, Gray frowned as he saw the farmers milling around doing nothing. "Hey, if you dimwits aren't going to do anything, get your asses out of here! We don't need you all making more of a mess of this family's' property!" The other farmers were slightly put off by the bull's abruptness, but they knew that he was right and walked to their cars and drove off.

The pair grunted as they let down the pilot on a couch, Barit gulped as he looked at the astronaut's unconscious form. "Gr... Gray, why don't you pull of that suit? I'll go get a first aid kit..."

Before the bull could voice his complaints, Barit was slithering off towards the bathroom. "Damn... for a slake he sure moves fast..." Gray's gaze slid down to the prone form and let out a sigh, "Alright... lets get this done with." He figured that the first thing to do was pull off the helmet. Gingerly wrapping his hands around the glass he tugged a few times until a hiss of disconnection was heard, Gray held his breath as the helmet came off of the pilot's head. He sighed in relief as he saw that the blood was coming from the pilot's nose, "Well at least I know that it's not a deadly wound..."

Throwing the helmet to the side, Gray turned the Shepard's head from side to side to make sure that there were no other wounds in sight. Barit's voice came from behind, "What's the damage?" Gray straightened up, his tail flicking as he brushed off his hands.

"He must've whacked his nose against the glass when he crashed. That's where the blood is coming." Barit sighed and nodded before leaning over the dog and using a damp cloth to wipe blood away from the Shepard's muzzle.

There were no sounds as the snake cleaned off the dog, Gray coughed lightly as he glanced around the room. "So... how is it been since Bethany's..."

For a moment the bull could see Barit's body go stiff before once more unstiffening, "I... it's been fine..."

Gray nodded and scratched the back of his head nervously looking around the room, "Can you see any reason why the ship crashed?" Barit finished cleaning up the Shepard's face before rubbing his hands on his shirt and straightening up.

"No, whatever the reason. I don't think it's because of a wound..." Barit sighed and looked out the window to look at the metal monstrosity, "How long do you think will it take the military to get here?"

It was a thought that had been passing through both of their heads, Gray sighed and shrugged. "I dunno, but we'll know it when they get here. I'm sure they've already got a top squad of people on their way..."

As the pair spoke a groan of pain made them both jump, they turned their attention to the German Shepard who was sitting up. His eyes slowly fluttered open as he turned his attention to them, "W... where am I?"

Gray and Barit looked at each other and mouthed to one another a few sentences with some choice cuss words exchanged before Barit sighed and turned towards the visitor from space. "Well... you're on earth."

The astronaut clutched his head processing this information for a bit before a gasp escaped his jaw, "W... wait... did you find me in a spaceship?" Barit and Gray nodded, the german shepard clutched his head as if he were trying to think through the world's hardest problem. "D... did you find somebody else in there?"

Gray coughed, "Well you were the first guy in there we saw, and you weren't exactly in the best of shape after your landing..."

The German Shepard snapped his head to them in a panic, "Please tell me, is there anybody in that ship right now?!"

Barit started, "No, it was just u..."

Gray coughed powerfully stopping the snake, "Actually... there is somebody in there..."

Both Barit and the Pilot looked at him and asked in unison, "Who?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Garet shivered in anticipation, he had dreamed as a kid to be in something as high tech as this but his father had never wanted anything to do with the world outside of his little farm. Little lights fluttered in and out of life as the snake slid past, the ship groaned as Garet slid through its innards. As the snake's eyes slid over the ship he saw nothing of much interest until he noticed a pitch black figure lying on the floor, "What the..." He whispered, he slowly slid over to the figure and leaned over the prone figure. The young snake nudged the body, "Are you alright?" For a moment there was no response, "I... is he dead...?" He questioned, as the snake looked over the body he laid one of his hands on the wolf's chest.

The touch seemed to trigger something within the wolf and green lines spread across his body, unfortunately for Garet he had the misfortune of having his face right in front of Wolf's when the infected wolf reawoke. Garet was surprised as the Wolf's eyes glowed an eerie green, "What in the..." But before he could continue the wolf leaned forward and kissed him, Garet tried to pull back but Wolf's arms wrapped around the snake and held Garet close like an iron vice. Garet wanted nothing more than to get away from the kiss at first, his mind flicking to the girls at the dairy who he had his eyes on for the longest time.

After what felt like forever, the wolf finally let him go. Garet flicked his arm across his lips in disgust, "What the fuck was that?!"

"That was your indoctrination son..." The voice replied in Garet's head, a gasp escaped the snake's lips. Garet's head flicked from side to side, looking for the voice. The snake didn't notice the black and purple lines appearing at his tail and slowly working their way up.

"W... where are you?!" His head snapped to the wolf who was slowly standing up, "Is it you?!" But the wolf just shook his head and pointed his finger to his head.

"It's me son, your father. Oooohhh... so much information in this young brain. Though some of this is wrong... You're in need of some rewiring son, thankfully I can do this for you." Garet grew angry and whipped his tail back and forth angrily.

"Nothings wrong with me! And what's more, you're not my father! Whatever you are, you need to get out of me right now!" From Garet's tail, vivid purple lines spread along with a black material. Garet didn't yet notice that parts of his body were losing their normal sense of feeling.

As Garet lost himself in the conversation with The System, Wolf hummed in pleasure as he stroked Garet's nicely toned abs that he had gained from farming. Deep in Garet's changing mind, pleasure started to pulsate. "My dear dear child, you've been decived. I'm your father, your brothers have been waiting for a long time for you to join us..." Images of Garet's real brothers flashed through his mind, The System realized quickly and twisted the image to show his brothers as changed forms of themselves. "See, your brothers are as you are becoming. You are the odd one out Snake..."

Garet winced as a pain arced through his brain, "M... my name is Garet..." As the change spread up Garet's body his clothes were turned into data by the transformation. As his abs started to become covered in the synthetic black latex-like material, Wolf rubbed his hands over them changing them from a six pack to a eight pack. Garet's body was almost entirely changed by this point, the snake shivered as his will fought against The System's. "G... get out of my head... I... my father will..."

The seductive voice of The System overrode his words though, "Yes, I will make you right son.

_ _ Garet's eyes fluttered briefly, "F... father will make this ri... No! You are not my father! My father will come out here an..."

The System's influence was now taking its effects though, the images of the dairy girls had changed. Now instead of a barn full of dairy workers, there was a technological city with strong men everywhere. "Son, your father doesn't need to be anywhere. I'm always with you... And if you ever need a hand, your handsome brother Wolf will help you."

Garet looked at Wolf with a growing sense of love, "B... brother Wolf?" Wolf smiled at him causing shivers of pleasure to streak through Garet's body, the synthetic material had now completely swallowed up Garet's body. The purple lines had also taken over, though Garet's eyes still remained a natural blue like his father's.

The System felt that Garet's will was almost entirely broken, he just needed something to break down that last wall of defence. He sent a message to Wolf who's grin expanded and he approached Garet rubbing his hands up and down the Snake's sides, "Snake, please listen to father. Once you let father into you..." A sheathe grew out of his crotch, shortly after allowing a black cock expand out of it which had little streaks of green on it. "We can have each other..."

Garet's whole mind was shaken by this, The System took advantage of the moment. "Snake, did you hear your brother? Forget all that you had before this moment, and you can be a part of the family... a part of The System. Just let it out, let it all out son." As if a switch were activated, Snake's slit opened and his cock slid out and as it did his eyes flooded with a purple light.

"Yes father, thank you so much father." The System sent a jolt of pleasure through his newest child, Snake slid up to Wolf and kissed him.

Wolf slid his arms around the Snake and held him tight for a moment as they kissed and then broke the kiss, "Snake, are you ready to bring the others into the family?" Snake grinned and his tongue slithered out, now a brilliant purple and let out a pure hiss.

"Yesss."

Wolf grinned and whispered to the snake, "Welcome to The System, Snake."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prot stumbled up and winced in pain, "We need to get out of here, now!"

The Snake and Bull looked at one another in confusion before the snake asked, "What's happening?!"

But a scream from outside answered that, all three looked out the window to see an odd wolf and snake come out of the pod. "What the fuck are those?!" Bull shouted.

Prot looked at them seriously, "Those are the enemy; now let's get out of here!"
