#5 of Buying the Farm

As the game continues it turns from a war to a race, but can our players figure it out in time?


Buying the Farm 5 - Collective Bargaining

The music was shut off as the last of the clients were leaving the bar, mostly the old men who had nothing else better to do than sit and drink their cares all night. Jasmine was glad to see them go only because it meant she could start closing down, as she escorted the last drunken old bull out of the door she turned the neon sign that said 'OPEN' to the off position. Once that was done and she was sure everyone had left did she go back behind the bar and unbutton the dress she wore. Underneath was a skintight rubber lingerie, the black material shining under the light as she fished a mask out from under the bar and put it on. After a few slight adjustments to her wardrobe the pantheress was ready to start closing down her other 'establishment' as well.

"Mistress Jasmine!" A young male dragon said as he saw the trap door open and a pair of slick high heels come down. "How was the bar scene tonight?"

"The usual Jacob." Jasmine replied with a smile, tracing a finger down the x-strap that the lean scaly had on his chest. The young man had come to her when he had just turned twenty-two and nearly begged her to be his apprentice, something that amused her even to this day. He was a natural switch, showing subservience to her while still displaying the draconic dominance that her customers had come to expect from her underground ring. "Did our playthings enjoy themselves as well?"

The dragon shook his head and happily gave her the clipboard with their guest list. "No complaints tonight." He stated as they walked down to her office. "Mostly regulars, though a guy from the local steelworks brought in his wife, I guess he finally broke it to her what he does at night and surprisingly she wants to go through the training course. Other than that it's a full house right now, should I start sending people packing or do you want to keep it open for a while longer?"

"I'll leave that up to the doms." Jasmine replied with a smile. "If they aren't tired and with the weekend coming up they are free to continue to use the rooms to their heart's content."

As the two continued to talk business the door that allowed the member's access to the club opened, a tiger shark in fatigues stepping through. "Zira, what a surprise." Jasmine said as she greeted her friend warmly. "Snuck off the base again did we? You know that we aren't open for much longer."

"I know mistress Jasmine." Zira replied with a grin. "I actually came to see you with a bit of business that we could discuss."

"Business? How intriguing." Jasmine replied as she opened the door to her office. "Let me settle the day's business and then we can discuss your proposal. In the meantime go ahead and see if there are any slots open, I'm sure there's someone who wouldn't mind letting you in on a bit of their fun if you asked nicely."

As the door closed Zira looked around at the doors with a hungry look, the contours of her face distorting as it appeared something pushed up from underneath it and a small droplet of pink goo oozed from her mouth. "I'm sure they won't mind at all..." she said with a smirk as she stripped her fatigues off and opened the first door...

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

Meanwhile in the center of town Darren the stallion sauntered his way up the stairs of the small court building that served most of the town's administrative functions. It had not taken long for him to grab the key that his mom used to enter the building with Lia and Mikael right behind him. While the two had gotten a few looks they were able to easily get up to the records office, where Darren used the key he had taken from his mother to gain entrance for all of them.

As they shut the door behind them they suddenly heard a voice in the room and all of them turned to see a large bear named Isaac Hawes looking at them from behind one of the books shelves. "Darren, is that you?" The bear said as he saw the stallion. "You know your mom doesn't like it when you bring your friends up here to hang out. All three of you should be in school anyway."

"We are actually." Lia spoke up as she looked at the other two. "School project on the history of the city, especially concerning the telecommunications boom from the research grant that the council elders had gotten."

"Oh... well, good." Isaac said as he looked down at them and adjusted his glasses. "Though you still should go through the proper channels as long as you're doing it for the pursuit of knowledge I can't say no to that. Just make sure you put everything back in its proper place when you're done."

The three nodded and continued on past him, each of them shaking his hand as they passed by. Unbeknownst to Issac each time they pressed their skin against his a thin sheen of pink slime would pass onto his fur, which left his hand with a mild stickiness when they were finished. When he finally did realize what it was he merely wiped it onto his other forearm and continued with his catalogue of the city records.

Darren couldn't help but let one of his snakes peek out of his mouth as he got to the racks that held the records that they wanted. "It was almost too easy..." the snake hissed as the three began to go through the books. "All we have to do is find the information on the local help that the lab no doubt would have hired before they experimented on us..."

As Lia found the records that they were looking for the three of them suddenly heard the door open behind them, which caused them to quickly dart behind the desk as a buck and doe entered the office. "I thought you said that Mr. and Mrs. Jamensen don't come into work for another half an hour!" Lia hissed, their snakes retreating back into their bodies as the two cervines began to turn on lights.

"Relax, we can deal with it." Darren replied, their faces slowly turned into grins as their skins began to writhe. In mere seconds their mouths stretched impossibly open, almost a dozen of the pink snakes that inhabited their bodies crawled out and began to slither their way towards the two unsuspecting deer. Mr. Jamensen had begun to check the daily logs while Mrs. Jamensen had already sat down at her desk and began to check the morning e-mails.

"I wonder if Issac is in already." Mr. Jamensen said, looking passed the shelves for any sign of the large bear.

"He usually is." Mrs. Jamensen replied, lazily clicking from one e-mail to the next, unaware of the creatures that had already slithered underneath her desk.

The snakes below knew that they had to strike at once in order to incapacitate the two, but as half of them slithered towards the male they had the unfortunate luck of the buck dropping a book and saw them as they reached down to pick it up. "What on Earth..." he said as he jaw dropped open, then his confusion turned to fear as they lunged at him. Luckily for the agile deer was able to jump up and grab onto one of the higher shelves, though that only proved to be a temporary fix as the large snakes slithered up the shelves in order to reach him.

Unfortunately his wife was no so lucky, by the time the doe had seen her husband jump the other snakes were already on her, one of them wrapped around her feet while the others quickly slithered up her body. She tried to get up out of the chair but by that time several more had wrapped around her arms and held them fast against the armrests of the chair. Effectively pinned, she could feel more of the creatures slither up under her dress as she yelled for her husband, only to have one of the larger snakes dart forward and stuff itself into her muzzle.

The buck let out an angry cry as he saw his wife in distress, pushing off from the shelves and managed to land on the desk. He pulled on her shoulders to try and get her away from the nest of snakes that were on her, but the only thing he managed to accomplish was rip the already torn dress off her body which caused him to fall backwards. As he quickly recovered he was horrified at what he had revealed, the doe's eyes had rolled back and he could hear a moan that was muffled by the foot of pink snake that had slithered down her throat. Her hips and legs bucked in pleasure as her cunt was stuffed nearly as full as her maw, the fur of her stomach bulged outward as the pink body of the snake wiggled from her slit as it continued to push deeper inside while another snake had begun to stretch open her tailhole and push its head in.

Mr. Jamensen began to try and move forward again, but before he could even take a step he had to dodge two more snakes that had encroached upon his position. "I'll... I'll find help!" He yelled before he bolted for the door, leaving his pleasure-wracked wife to hump against the snakes that began to fill her body.

As the buck turned the corner to reach the stairs he smashed onto a big wall of fur, which caused him to stumble back as he realized that he had just run into his coworker Issac. "Issac! Some... things just attacked my wife! I need your help to... to..."

The buck's words trailed off as he looked down to see the bear's pants on the floor, one of his paws pumped furiously against his member which wiggled in his grasp. As Issac looked at him there was a crazed look in his eye, pink slime leaked from his mouth and onto his fur as he got up and quickly pinned the startled deer to the wall. "So horny..." the bear said as he pressed his muzzle against the deer's, Jamensen's cheeks bulging as a strange tasting fluid ran down his throat followed by the bear's thick tongue.

In mere seconds the buck's horror turned to confusion, then to lust as well as he felt the bear's hands quickly strip him of his clothes. Once the pesky garments had been removed Issac broke the kiss, the deer focused only on the warmth that had begun to pulse through his body as the bear took him by the shoulders and pushed him down onto his knees. By this time the buck's empty mouth was more than willing to replace the mutated bear's tongue with his cock, opening wide and allowing the writhing pink member to push itself in. As that happened one of the snakes had caught up with the deer and decided to hasten his conversion, it reared up and pressed his head against the buck's exposed ass, which caused their newest victim to shudder as its slick body easily passed the tight ring of muscle.

As the c-snake continued to wiggle inside it flicked its tongue against the buck's prostrate, which caused the already rock hard cervine member to throb and let out a drop of pink tinged pre. As the deer allowed Issac's member to push down into his stomach he saw movement out of the corner of his eye, a young stallion smirked down at him with his arms crossed.

"I hope you don't mind if we take this out of the archives." Darren said as he motioned to the book that the female eagle held, all three of them chuckled as they watched the deer do nothing but wiggle and writhe against the overload of stimulation as more pink snakes began to push out from his taut chest and his antlers began to soften and wiggle. "I thought not, Mikael will be here to make sure that the conversion of this building happens smoothly and quietly. We, on the other hand, have a scientist to find."

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

Jacob hummed happily to himself as he left Mistress Jasmine's office and went down the hallway to do his normal checks on the patrons to make sure they were alright. Ever since he had been taken under the pantheress' wing everyday was one of the happiest of his life, not only did he learn about business management for his mundane life he was also able to enjoy his secret fetishes with others of a similar mindset. Even though most people went under pseudonyms and came in from the private changing rooms so geared up that he couldn't tell what species they were he came to know almost all of them by heart. It was not unlike the bar above, you spend enough time with people over a shared interest and they became the one's that you looked forward to seeing the most.

That's why he was a bit stunned to see the first few rooms completely empty, when he had made his last check nearly every one of the rooms was occupied by two or more people. While it wasn't too uncommon it was enough to put him on a more alert mindset, especially when he came to one of the rack rooms. Inside was a fully suited gator male covered head to toe in shiny red rubber, his face completely covered by a gas mask as he writhed in his restraints in what appeared to be pleasure.

"Are you alright sir?" The dragon asked as he quickly stepped inside. "You know the rules, no one is allowed to go solo in the rooms at any time... have to make sure you're dom knows that. Until he or she returns I'm going to have to take you down, club policy."

As Jacob started to reach for the restraints the suited creature spasmed, a low gurgling moan coming out of the gas mask as the huge tent in the crotch of the latex throbbed and shuddered. The dragon couldn't help but give an impressive nod, normally rubber and restraint alone wasn't enough for someone to get themselves off, especially without their own touch. As he continued to watch though the tent in the rubber started to push out even more, the synthetic material stretched to accommodate the growing piece of flesh. Jacob was astonished and decided to get the gas mask of the man first to make sure he was still alright.

Before the dragon even had a chance to get the first strap of the mask off a torrent of pink slime came out of the respirator, which ran down his rubber gloved hands as the restrained male made a lunge for him. On instinct Jacob stepped back, nearly stumbling over a bench as the rubber on the gator's body began to tighten. He quickly realized that it wasn't the rubber that was tightening though, the gator's body grew more muscular as what looked like thick ropes began to push against the full body suit. The captive male's cock was almost up to his thickening pecs by that time, and as the thick black material continued to tighten it almost looked like the head of his member had become spaded, almost like a snake's head as a puddle of pink fluid drained out onto the floor.

Jacob was far too stunned to say anything, instead he turned tail and ran out of the room and away from the nightmarish creature as fast as he could. As he ran back to the main office he could hear more sounds of moaning, the doors wide open which allowed him to see exactly what was happening in them.

In one a male snow leopard that was tied down to a spanking bench was being taken from behind by a busy gazelle, her breasts fully exposed from her corset as a mutated pink cock that grew just above her clit was pressed hilt deep into the male. The snow leopard looked completely out of it, drops of more of the strange pink ooze dripped out of his nose and around the ball gag in his mouth as his exposed cock began to thicken as well. In another room two completely naked male wolves had a lizardwoman covered completely in liquid latex spit roasted between them, pink tentacles sliding out of their nipples as one pounded his cock into her mouth while the other wolf's had split into two and had pushed their way into both her tailhole and slit. Much like the gator the lizardwoman's quickly expanding body seemed to only make the thick layer of blue latex on her body stretch, especially in her groin as the normally skintight material split apart to reveal a new, pink cock that quickly grew out to nearly a foot. Most surprising was that as soon as it was exposed the wolf that was taking her from behind grabbed the jar and slathered the liquid onto her member, coating the pink flesh in the shiny blue paint to her surprise.

Jacob ducked into another room in order to try and get away from the craziness that had broken out in the fetish club, where the soundproofing thankfully deadened the frenzied groans and moans that came out from the other rooms. "What... what do I do..." he stammered as he held onto the rubber of the hood that covered his head. Part of him just wanted to zip the eye holes up and whimper in the corner... but then he realized that his mistress was in terrible danger.

A sudden moan caused him to nearly jump out of his skin, and he looked to see a man in a full body, heavy duty suit with a gas mask and rebreather system. The black of the rubber blended in almost seamlessly with the background of the walls, and it was possible that whatever monsters that attacked the club may have missed him. Jacob sprinted to the man and began to undo the belts that restrained him, which let the rubber slave move up the upper half of his body.

"What's going on?" The muffled voice of the restrained orca said, the black lenses prevening Jacob from seeing his eyes as he began to undo the straps that locked his stomach to the bench.

"Something terrible." Jacob replied quickly. "It's infected everyone... the whole club is filled with these snake things. You're in a full body environmental suit, I think they may have missed you. If that's true then you can help me get to the mistress before anything happens to her."

"I will do my best I guess." The suited man replied as he rubbed his wrists. Once he was completely free the two carefully walked out back into the main hallway. By now the pink slime was all over the place, and more than once they had to duck behind doors in order to avoid the stares of the people that were still being converted. "My god..."

Jacob turned to see what the orca was looking at, two of their members had been playing in their silica gel room and even as they watched a very large steer had its foot and a half long shaft buried in the gooey cocoon that the cheetah girl appeared to be trapped in what they could only guess was her sex. They could see her face press out against the thickened gel, then her body fall back once more as the translucent material began to turn pink. Meanwhile the second cocoon was completely filled with pink fluid, the capsule swelled as whatever was inside began to stir and the occasional bulge pressed against the side. As the female slid and writhed on the floor from her trapped state they could clearly see her breasts begin to swell, her tongue that had managed to get past the silica barrier grew longer and thicker as well while the bull continued to have his cock thrust in and out of her.

Jacob and the other man would have probably continued to watch, especially as the silica around her groin began to expand out as the very clear outline of a feline cock began to appear, but a loud ripping sound filled the air as a torrent of pink fluid flooded the ground, a wolf male covered in pink slime slid across the tile a short way before his body came to a stop. The creature was massively ripped, likely even taller than the huge bull as the nests of c-snakes that wiggled from his tailhole, mouth, and groin slowly slid back into his body. The two men quickly dashed away before they could be seen, running down the hallway at nearly a full sprint to get back to the main area.

More than once though they found their pathway blocked by some unfortunate soul that was about to be converted and had to find an alternate path through. Luckily Jacob knew the layout of the underground club fairly well, though more than once his path took the two through dangerous territory. At one point they had to sneak through a room that had an infested crocodile toying with a female wolf that had been locked down to a table earlier, and as the prehensile reptilian cock continued to stretch her lupine mouth her slit had a similar experience, one of the already formed snakes in her body stretched her glistening lips to the limit as the strange tentacle pushed out of her body and into a female fox that had been chained to the wall right in front of the wolf. The vixen could do nothing but scratch against the wall as her stomach muscles began to writhe under her fur as her nether-region was filled with the alien mass. It made Jacob sick to think that their clients were undergoing this hideous sexual transformation and only steeled his resolve even more to reach his mistress and save her.

As they turned the corner Jacob was nearly knocked back as a horse in a simple leather harness and bit ran by them. The stallion appeared to be attempting to knock several snakes off of him, but from the one that was already wrapped around his thick erection and the other one that had begun to push out his washboard abs with how much of its body was buried in his anus the dragon figured that he was already almost gone. Unfortunately the distraction allowed one of the more advanced infected to get the jump on him, though before the creature was able to leap on him the orca stepped in and tackled the dragoness to the ground as its cock reached through the air to try and get at the more exposed dragon.

"Go get the mistress!" The rubberslave said as he hooked one of his leads onto the collar the dragoness wore and locked it, effectively preventing her escape. "I'll hold this one off as long as I can!"

Jacob was about to help, but before he could even take a step in the snake-infested dragoness had turned its attention on the orca and ripped the hose for the rebreather from the tank it was on and shoved it into her mouth. He could see the accursed pink fluid quickly run from her scaled maw into the orca's suit, which caused the rubber slave to shudder as it ran into his mask before he had a chance to stop it. By the time the dragon had turned the corner he could already see that his body had begun to shift under the rubber, his rubber codpiece strained as his already buff form began to shudder and shake from the massive induction of corruptive fluid into his system with nowhere for it to go but throughout his body. The last thing that Jacob saw before he began to run again was the orca's hips thrusting into the air as long bulges began to slither through the thick suit.

After what seemed like a nightmarish eternity the office door was almost in reach, but Jacob's focus was quickly turned to the large tiger shark that stood between him and mistress Jasmine's office, the female wearing a standard collar and harness as thick pink ooze dripped from her crotch. On her huge cock was a golden cockring and matching harness, though the member had shed any semblance of being a normal penis and instead was a nearly two foot long snake with a collar of its own. As he stood there in shock he watched as a young couple that had been at the club since it opened reached for the door of the office, though the leads and leashes that were on them became a hindance as the tiger-shark grabbed them and sent them both to the ground.

"You should have just let me fuck you, though this is just as fun." Zira hissed as she pounced on the male ocelot, who let out a loud cry as a torrent of pink ooze gushed out of the shark's mouth and onto his back. Almost immediately his eyes began to glaze over, and as he became pacified some of the goo dripped down onto the lioness' back and her strugglings began to grow weaker as well.

Jacob was frozen as the snake cock plunged itself into the feline's tailhole, which caused his back to arch as his own penis quickly reached its full thickness. Meanwhile the panic in the female's eyes had quickly turned to lust, letting out a low hiss as her needy body began to rub against the male above her. It was almost as if the monster that towered over them and penetrated the male had been forgotten, replaced with the urge to breed as the ocelot stuck his throbbing maleness into her feminine depths. The skin of the male began to writhe as he began to thrust into her, the huge snake cock that had continued to slither its way into his depths pressed against the taut skin of his stomach as it looked like several more smaller snakes began to wiggle inside him. One of those obscene bulges immediately darted down to his groin and as soon as it hit his member the entire thing swelled immensely with each thrust. Pink ooze began to leak out of the lioness' slit as her own stomach began to swell with the increasingly big cock inside her, her smallish breasts expanded as she played with her nipples as the tiger shark turned to the petrified dragon as Jacob had begun to back away.

"Where do you think you're going little dragon?" Zira mused as her cock snake pulled out of the entangled couple as a pink snake pushed their way out of each of the feline's mouths and pulled them into a deep kiss. "As you can see I've been giving gifts to all your clients I think it's only fair that you and the mistress receive one as well."

"You're... you're a monster!" Jacob shouted as he started to step back.

"You couldn't be more wrong about that." Zira replied, her skin shifting as she approached him slowly. "I'm the pure manifestation of what your little club has to offer. For the dominant its the chance to completely take someone over, to feel yourself inside every aspect of them. For the submissive its a chance to lose yourself completely into another, every will an action being dictated by another. Of course my words won't do it justice, why don't you see for yourself?"

Jacob watched in terror as the shark's mouth opened wide, her throat bulging as several pink snakes pushed out of her mouth to join the one that had formed from her tongue. The same happened for her now expansive breasts, several smaller tentacles formed from the nipples and turned snakelike as the infested creature darted towards him. The dragon quickly jumped into the closest room, closing the door and locking it as he heard a torrent of fluid pound against the wood. As pink liquid began to run under the doorframe he spun around and grabbed one of the ladders against the wall that was used to hook up people from the suspension that hung from the ceiling. As the frame of the door splintered from a heavy force that hit it he climbed up the ladder and popped open the ceiling there, where he used the solid foundation of the rigging to climb up into the space between the hang down ceiling and the floor of the bar above.

Jacob heard the door quickly give way as he shimmied his way across the pipe, trying to get as close to Mistress Jasmine's office as possible from ceiling route. A loud crash behind him caused him to look back, seeing the shark bash through the hole and turn towards him. Several of the snakes wrapped around the pipe as he doubled his pace, though he was pretty sure Zira herself couldn't reach him he had to warn the pantheress as soon as possible.

Unfortunately the snakes that slithered across the pipe were faster than Jacob expected, feeling their bodies brush against his rubber boots as they tried to coil around him. He kicked back at them, their slimy pink bodies thankfully unable to hold against the slick material and they slid off onto the top of the suspended ceiling and fell through to the hallway below. After doing that twice the snake-filled shark decided enough was enough, several of the tentacle-like appendages wrapped around the pipe and pulled it down with enough force to put a hole in the wood it was fastened too. The dragon managed to get a few more feet before the entire pipe fell, which caused him to crash down through the ceiling with it as he landed face down on the carpet.

"Jacob!?" The dragon heard, the pantheress bolting up from her desk and putting the phone down as she moved around to help him up. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Mistress..." Jacob replied, feeling a sharp pain shoot through his chest from a broken rib as he stumbled to his feet. "Zira... the others... snakes..."

"Calm down and have a seat, you're bleeding." The pantheress replied as he shouldered him, moving him over to the chair opposite the desk as she went around to get a first aid kit from her drawer. "Try not to move around too much... you might have internal injuuries."

"No... mistress please..." Jacob begged, each breath more painful then the last. "You... you have to leave... Zira... is..."

A sudden bang at the door caused them both to look up, the locked office door nearly flew off the hinges as the now mostly-normal tiger shark looked upon the both of them with a feral grin. "I was hoping that I would make this a most pleasurable experience for you two." She said, her voice heavy with a hissing noise as she stepped through the door. "Now we're going to have to do this the quick and dirty way."

"So this is the business you had for me Zira?" Jasmine said as she wheeled Jacob to the back of the room. "If so then I have to decline and ask you nicely to get out of my establishment immediately!"

"This is no longer your club, all your patrons and yourselves now belong to me." Zira replied with a chuckle. "Too bad, I would have let you retain your dominance over them as a gesture of goodwill, but now I'm afaid that I'm going to be the one that takes control. I suppose this means you'll be calling me 'mistress' Zira from now on."

"So that's it then?" Jasmine nearly spat as the tiger shark continued to slowly approach them. "Those snakes inside you your boss now? I thought you were a dom Zira, not some lowly slut letting just anything in her body."

The pantheress' words seemed to have struck a cord in the former tiger shark, a flash of rage passed over her body before it returned to its arrogant demeanor. "I am no mere submissive." The shark said with almost a growl. "I am a king of the snakes, those you see outside bend to MY will whether they were once dominant or submissive, just like you will. Enjoy your last moments of freedom before you become my snake-filled bitches."

"That's all I needed to hear." The pantheress said before she looked at the phone. "That's what you wanted, right?"

"Yes it is, thank you my dear." A male voice said from the phone, causing the infested tiger shark to look at the device in confusion. "I do believe its time to take this conference call into the real world."

Before Zira even had a chance to react another male voice outside shouted 'Contact!' and a small metal device was tossed into the office. Jasmine held Jacob's ears and her own as best as possible as the flashbang detonated, causing a loud and pained hiss to erupt from the infected female who staggered back and put a hole in the wall. Suddenly several creatures in what looked like solid rubber camo flooded the room, the one in the foreground the shape of a german shepard pointed an assault rifle straight at the tiger shark.

"Do not move!" The dog soldier said as the rest of them pointed guns at her as well. "If you comply then we will not have to use force with you."

"Heh, you think that mere bullets are going to stop me?" Zira said as she stood back up completely, wiping a bit of pink goo away from her lips as they broke into a smirk once more. "You have no idea what you are dealing with-"

A shot rang out as the german shepherd popped a round into her shoulder. At first the tiger shark merely looked at the hole with a grin, but that smile quickly turned to confusion as a small stream of black fluid began to leak out and spread over her skin. "I warned you." He said as the rubber seemed to continue to crawl over her body, the snake that popped out of the bullet hole a shiny black.

As the black continued to spread over Zira's body two more people entered the office, the demon dragon and tigress walked inside the room and looked around. "What a nice space, I'm so glad that you knew about this place from your friend here." Renzyl said as he looked at the writhing tiger shark, who had been shot twice more as she tried to move towards them. "I told you that those rubber bullets would be far more effective."

"Yes yes Renzyl." Ares replied as the rubber that grew on her body not only restrained her but the snakes inside her as well. Further down the hallway the other soldiers continued to bare down on the rest of the converted, the gunshots echo through the club as they used the special non-lethal ammo on them. At this point the tigress was glad for their own private army, especially those who can't be converted because their bodies were completely covered. "So are they like the soldiers now? All rubber snakes and such?"

"Oh no, as I said my rubber has no effect on them in this state aside from restraining them." Renzyl replied. "They can escape from this rather easily actually, which is why we're going to have to be far more creative to try and combat them. So you're going to convert them as I convert you... all we have to do is make sure that we get a king c-snake."

Zira, who was too busy tearing the ever expanding rubber off of her body, didn't notice as the demon dragon strode over to her and looked her straight in the eye. "You can smell the power on me, can't you." Renzyl said as he pinned her to the wall. "You know how beneficial I would be as a leader, so give me what your instincts are begging you to do right now."

Ares watched as Zira's mouth opened wide, one of the c-snakes pushed its way out and hissed in Renzyl's face. "You will never get one of us!" The large snake said, but before it could dodge back into its host the demon darted forward and clamped his mouth over the creature. The shark's body shuddered and several of the other snakes that were not covered in the living rubber attacked him, but they seemed to do nothing as Renzyl pulled back with the snake still in his mouth. Several of the soldiers came up and helped secure Zira's body as the demon continued to suck the snake inside his mouth. It was surreal for Ares to see a snake try to leave an unaffected host, yet it took several gulps for the rubber dragon to get the creature into his body.

"Heh, they really do tickle on the inside." Renzyl said as he put his hands on his belly. "So Ares, are you ready to save the world?"

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

On the other side of the town a stallion and eagle walked up to one of the houses that lined the small suburban street, knocking on it and waiting patiently. After a few seconds the door opened, an older lynx stood there with a cup of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other. "Can I help you?" He asked, which caused the two younger adults to smile."

"Yes you can Dr. Sabin." The stallion replied as they pushed their way into the home. "We need to talk to you about our solitary confinement... and how you're going to make up to us with the ultimate freedom."
