When warring with a demon, be careful of Trojan horses.

Collab with PanzerMaus


The sound of a single pair of footsteps was the only thing audible in the hallway as the man in wavy blue fatigues marched down towards the briefing room, running a few minutes late.

The young soldier was in his early twenties, one of the newer recruits to the organization, though the way he wore his slightly unkempt appearance betrayed the look of a man with a few more years of experience on his shoulders. Of course this was the result of being assigned to monitor the communications grid all night long with no time to shave his five o'clock shadow and fix his unruly short hair. With a slight groan he approached the room and could notice everyone all standing up around a table, the meeting had already started.

"...with the reports coming in from sector 631 that infestation was minimal but further reports indicate the forces of Renzyl have been able to penetrate our communications grid..." The section leader was the oldest in the room but only a few years the senior of the rest of them, one of the results of a fast paced promotion system. He was interrupted by the man coming into the room but gave him a warm greeting upon sighting him.

"Glad you could join us this morning Sam. We were just going over the reports you provided for us." Rael Fredrickson said with a nice touch of informality.

"So anyways it appears that due to a bug, a glitch, or some other technical mishap, we lost an entire team out there. Thankfully one good thing that has come out of this is the higher ups have finally budgeted us some better equipment, none of that lowest bidder stuff this time. Luckily the contractor already had a whole batch of the new stuff ready for shipment so after this briefing we'll be outfitting you all with it." Rael murmured while flipping through the technical specifications.

As though on cue, a young man walked in with a large briefcase made of a highly polished metal. "Greetings gentlemen." He said, ruffling a hand through his silvery hair before setting the case down on the cheap table. "I am your you new technology consultant, helping you not only with all your weapons needs but enabling you to integrate seamlessly with all your other equipment as well. All our products are of the highest quality and will serve all of your rebellion needs."

"Well there you have it everyone, he's going to bring us up to par with our new toys. Thank you Mr...?" Rael extended his hand to the silvery haired gentleman.

"Rhocon." The man introduced himself, shaking it back. "Mr. Rhocon."

"Ah, so what do you have in store for us today, Mr. Rhocon? That briefcase doesn't seem large enough to hold very many weapons if that's what you have in there." Rael stated bluntly while eyeing up the size of the container.

"Because right now weapons are not what you need." Rhocon replied sternly, opening the case and showing off what appeared to be ear-pieces. "What we have for you right now are state of the art communications devices. Multi-wavelength transmitter/receivers with built-in encryption algorithms and sub-sonic scrambling fields. Even a mere whisper broadcasted over these devices can be heard clear as day, and yet the most advanced eavesdropping devices couldn't hear you if you were shouting. Absolutely impenetrable and superiorly powerful."

Rael glanced down at one of the devices, a look of scepticism clearly visible on his face. "Communications are one of the most important aspects of winning on the battlefield indeed, however, I've heard of wonder gadgets such as these before. What might look good on paper may infact be garbage in the field, no offense. Having something like this would be useless if it lacks the durability or battery power for prolonged use." The man looked back up at the silver haired consultant, entirely unconvinced.

Rhocon didn't seemed fazed by the skepticism at all, in fact a small smirk appeared on his face. Before any of the soldiers could react the consultant grabbed one of their pistols from their holster, taking out one of the earpieces from the suitcase as well. Everyone drew their weapons, but as they leveled their aim at him he merely tossed the device onto the table and shot it point-blank. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" One of the soldiers yelled as he pointed his firearm right at the smug man's head.

"If someone could retrieve my device from the floor..." Rhocon replied as he handed the pistol back.

The young Sam was the only one without his pistol on him so he took the opportunity to bend down and inspect the broken remains of the headset. A look of shock crossed his face and he picked it up and noticed not even a scratch on the thing. "Holy... this looks like quite the demonstration, Sir. I don't even know what kind of ballistic material would be unaffected by our sidearms, let alone something that should be flimsy like a simple ear-piece." Sam handed the unfazed object over to Rael for his own inspection.

"We use the same metals and fiber weaving technology for our equipment as we do for our armor." Rhocon said. "Which you can only imagine the strength of that, if a thin sheet on an earpiece can deflect a pistol bullet. But in any case we can talk about armors later, why don't you give these devices a test run and once you are absolutely sure that your higher-ups made the right choice we'll discuss more... advantageous items."

"Now that's quite something, I daresay your sales negotiating skills are quite unorthodox but very effective. It does seem that you have enough for the whole team right now infact, perhaps you'll be able to properly acclimate the group to these new devices immediately? It would seem the most efficient way of doing things rather than reading a manual, if you have time for a hands on demonstration that is. Though how often do we have to change the power supply on these things? They don't seem to have a slot handy for opening them up." A rather intrigued Rael commented while twirling the unit around in his hand.

"I wouldn't worry about the power supply on those things, the charge is amazing and lasts nearly forever." Rhocon said. "I have enough earpieces for your squad, and since there is no centralized receiver you will not need too much instruction on their handling. There is also a small microphone that gets strapped against the throat so that you can hear each other talk."

"Maintenance free, I love them already. Alright everyone, let's try them out and see how they work." Rael motioned for the squad to grab them from the case, he inserts the one that went through the gunshot test and finds that it's quite comfortable compared to the old ones already, it's as if it isn't even there.

Sam, last in line again goes to the case to find it emptied out but Rhocon personally hands him an extra. "Heh, I forgot I had this one in my pocket, luckily too since it'd be a few days yet until I could have gotten more." Mr. Rhocon said with a somewhat innocent smirk on his face as he watched the young soldier try out his product.

Inserting his ear-piece, Sam notices a static noise for several seconds, most likely the device adjusting the volume and linking the frequency to the rest of his squadmates. The fact that it seemed to have a somewhat eerie hissing sound embedded in the static was gone from his mind as it abruptly ended.

"Look at that, I wouldn't even know you were wearing them if I didn't see you put them in." Rhocon said with a small chuckle, which the soldiers just assumed was him laughing at his own corny joke as he shut the briefcase. "They'll automatically adjust to the same frequency, which will explain any initial disorienting sounds or feelings. Once they've sufficiently adapted then you won't even remember you're wearing it. Now if there are no more questions I will be taking my leave, arranging the arrival of the rest of your equipment."

As the young man left the soldiers playing with their new earpieces Sam looked up to thank Rhocon once more, but as he saw the silver-haired man look back at them he didn't see the usual indifferent smile from before. Instead there was a glimpse of a predatory smirk, like a cat playing with a mouse before it ate it. There was also something else... Rhocon's eyes looked oddly reflective, as though there was a mirror-like sheen before the man blinked and everything returned to normal. "Something i can help you with young man?"

"Um... ah nothing... just realized I hadn't slept in ages is all." Sam rubs his eyes and blinks his heavy lids a few times, dismissing the trick his mind just played on him. "I had better take my leave now, thanks again."

After the man had left and Rael had dismissed him for the night Sam went back to his bunk, his eyes nearly closing as soon as he hit the pillow. The ear piece that he wore had been forgotten, the exhausted soldier wanting nothing more than to sleep. As he eyes closed he thought he heard that same hissing noise, though his mind quickly dismissed it as he drifted into unconsciousness...

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

Sam awoke with the shock of sirens as his eyes fluttered open to the familiar sight of his bunkroom with the very unfamiliar sight of red emergency lighting basking the room. Still in uniform he jumped up and ran to his wall locker, quickly opening it and taking out his battle rifle and sidearm. Grabbing a few spare magazines he charged out into the hallway, locked and loaded. Though instead of being greeted by his squadmates, it was an altogether alien sight.

While he had spent most of his time in the recon room and seen little of upfront battle, he had heard stories of what happened when the enemy overwhelmed the front lines. Now he saw it in sharp relief, the scales of the creatures shined like a synthetic skin as he saw one of his fellow soldiers in their grips. Like in the stories the reptilian creatures did not kill their victims, instead one of them had taken his claws and shredded his uniform while the other ones rubbed their bodies against him. The largest of the small group of lizardmen had locked their lips around the helpless human, and as Sam watched he began to see a scale pattern appear on the captured soldier's face.

Sam held his fire as he noticed the creatures did not spot him right then and there and ducked down into the darkness of the hallway. A spark of an idea hit him and he remembered the new communicators that his squad had been equipped with just yesterday, what better time to field test them than the emergency at hand.

"Hello?! Can anybody hear me on this frequency? We're under attack and they've already broken through into the barracks." Sam whispered into his mic in a very exasperated voice. His gaze fell back his fellow soldier and while he was still very much hidden, he could see the whole scene unfold from the vantage point.

The human's face was hidden from view while the lizardman was in front of him, seemingly engaged in a very deep and aggressive kiss. Though when it pulled away, strands of what seemed like latex saliva attached the two of them together, though the soldier now had his head completely covered in the liquid and it now looked identical to his reptilian captors.

Sam was sure that he was still hidden from view but squinting his eyes a bit in the dark corridor he was able to make out his comrade's now slitted eyes turning an unnaturally bright aquamarine and a long reptilian two-tined tongue slipping out of the lizardman-headed human's mouth. An inhuman hissing could be heard as it slowly turned it's head in his direction, narrowing his vision down the hallway.

The entire group of lizardmen began to turn their heads towards him as Sam slowly began to back away from his hiding spot, which quickly turned into a run when he heard them charge towards his position. He didn't have any time to look back, instead focusing on getting to the one room secure enough to hold the horde at bay until another base could come and help them. After a few dizzying turns down the hallway he finally got to the central control room. Not only would the steel blast doors hold out the creatures but he could communicate for help and there was a very real chance that the remaining survivors would regroup there as well.

Almost tumbling into the room he quickly turned around and punched the keypad to seal the door securely shut. They must've been right on his tail as he immediately heard a few bangs against it the moment he had closed it. Breathing a sigh of relief, he turned around to view the control room dimly lit by a few online computer terminals, he ran his right arm on the wall to turn the main lights on and to his relief and trepidation, he was the only one there. He walked over to take a seat in front of some of the camera feeds and was alarmed to find that in nearly every single corridor there were identical lizard creatures trouncing along, stopping at every door to search for any stragglers one by one.

"Ah... shit... even if I could contact someone they would have no way of avoiding that..." Sam whispered aloud in an almost defeated tone. His whisper however, was overheard as he completely forgot about the new and secure headset he received the other day.

"Makes you wonder why anyone would want to fight something like that." A smooth voice suddenly could be heard. Sam looked around frantically for the source of the voice, thinking at first that it was in the room with him. When he saw nothing, he slowly looked down on the monitors themselves. Very quickly he found something that made him step back slightly, the shiny black latex skin of the dragon easily seen in the light as his red eyes looked into the camera lens. "All your friends just want to be let in and share what they've experienced, is that too much to ask?"

Great, I must've had the intercom active... Sam thought to himself as he frantically searched for the off button, though his vision went back to the monitor with the black dragon looking into it, as though he was right there looking at each other. He noticed the dragon bringing a finger back and forth across the camera, wagging it at the screen.

"Tsk tsk tsk.... we don't need an intercom to communicate and I believe you only have a few minutes before my minions are able to get through the door." The dragon pointed to the right, amazingly gesturing to the monitor that showed what was going on right outside the control room. Sam was more shocked at what he saw then the fact that he didn't realize he mentioned the thing about the intercoms aloud.

"What... what do I do..." Sam asked no one in particular, the banging getting louder against the steel doors as he backed away from the monitors.

"You could just submit." Sam heard in his head, the demon's voice causing him to shudder in both horror and pleasure.

"That's not right... it's not right..." Sam muttered, falling back into one of the chairs as he clutched his head. "You are the enemy, you invaded our lands and turned the neighboring countries against us so we fight them too."

There was the sound of laughter, feeling like it echoed in his mind. "We were invited, your neighbors already had the mindset to invade and they just wanted the power to back it up. But we don't care about countries and kingdoms, only the pleasure that we can spread. We're the winning side Sam, there's nothing wrong in joining it."

The memories of briefings and intelligence reports slowly began compiling together in Sam's mind as the latex dragon on the monitor was speaking to him. "You can't be the one, their leader... Renzyl...? That's impossible! Our reports indicate that you can't go into our world personally! You can only send minions to do the job for you." His voice sounding a bit more confident in the fact that they might not be under attack by the big number one threat himself.

"And yet here I am." The demon dragon replied. "Knocking at the gates, pushing you back into the last bastion of protection you can think of. The only question is..." suddenly the room went cold, the dragon disappearing from the monitor as Sam immediately felt the presence of someone standing next to him "...how long do you think you can hold out?" The human felt a slick tongue press against his ear, causing him to let out a sharp gasp before...

Sam shouts out and jumps forward to get away from the tongue but instead his eyes fly open and he's back in his bed, his bunk room looking normal with nothing out of the ordinary and definitely no alarms sounding. However the chilling feeling he just experienced was fresh in his mind as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What an intense dream... that almost felt real... but maybe..." He was cut off as the door opened and he apprehensively tensed up, suspecting the person to answer the door might not be entirely human...

The door slowly opens with a creak as a figure slowly sneaks in and seeing Sam wide awake and alert it sighs in relief. "Ah hey there Sam, I was hoping I wouldn't have to wake you but it seems I don't have to worry about that. The captain scheduled us for some additional training today, albeit a tad impromptu, but he probably wants us to test out our new toys." The young recruit said with a warming smile on his face.

"Ah.... thanks Matt, yea I'll be there in a few minutes, thanks for the heads up." Sam murmured as his heart was still pounding in his chest from that crazy nightmare of his. "Hopefully some monotonous teamwork building will put it out of my mind..." He thought as he started putting on his uniform, scratching a tingling on his ear as a nigh inaudible hissing sound emanated from his headset...

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

Sam could still hear the voice of Rael echoing in his mind as the briefing finished, apparently several people had been caught wandering around after lights-out, though he didn't know who specifically it was which meant that everyone got reamed out. Compared to that he was looking forward to the gunfire and explosions of the training grounds, it would be a gentle reprieve from his shouting match. The worst part was that the tech specialist was there the whole time, watching as they got torn a new one.

Everyone was split up, some doing an array of calisthenics, others like Sam were running laps. He paid no mind in particular to anyone, lest he got caught glancing around and getting unnecessarily chewed out and smoked by Rael. Though he was catching glances at Rhocon chatting with a few of the newer soldiers, most likely they wanted to ask about any fun things he had for them in the future.

As inevitable as it was, he couldn't keep up his pace and started to slow down, though luckily it was right as Rael dismissed everyone for a few hours of personal time. Sam was trotting off to the locker rooms to shower and get changed. He noticed Rhocon waving at him from the corner of his eye and walked over to chat with him before hitting the showers.

"Oh hey wait a second there... Sam was it? You're in charge of the intelligence side of things right? Well I thought I'd tell you first that I have a surprise coming in for your team tomorrow and I'd be happy to show you if you wanted to get a sneak peek at the new equipment before anyone else." The technical specialist smiled as he shook Sam's hand and left with a wink.

"Oh, thanks Rhocon." Sam replied, slightly dazed. The young soldier felt slightly fuzzy as he talked to the other male, like something was interfering with his ability to comprehend what was being said. He assumed that it was just from the intense running, grabbing a drink as Rhocon led him down to one of the hangar bays. "So what's it going to be this time? Some sort of radar or recon equipment?"

"Let's just say it's something that will definitely change the course of the war..." A smirk drew across Rhocon's face as he walked behind Sam. "Also how about your bring a friend of yours along? Having another person along would help better demonstrate it. I'm sure you can think of just the right person too."

"Um..." Sam stammered slightly, looking around at the guys that were filing back into the barracks. As they all continued to pass by one in particular stood out to him. It was Jay, one of the tank mechanics that was built like one too. Even though he probably didn't have any technical expertise that perhaps some of the others had, but as he thought about it no one would have any knowledge of it. "Hey Jay, Rhocon and I need you for something!"`

Jay looked over at the two, then wordlessly ran over to their side. As the three of them walked towards the hanger once more Sam couldn't help but look over at his fellow soldier, noting a slightly stiff movement to his actions. He also didn't joke around like he usually did, more then once the mechanic would have said something, but instead he just stared forward as they arrived in the open building. All those thoughts quickly left his head though when he saw something very large in the center of the space.

It was an oversized shipping container, the door of which was still sealed, probably awaiting Rhocon's passcode before it would reveal it's secrets. "So then... here we have it!" Rhocon turned and punched in the code on the door of the container and with a mechanical hiss, it opened up to show off it's contents. There were two levels to the container, filled all the way to the back with power suits, though they didn't resemble anything Sam was used to seeing before... in fact they looked kind of like the beings from his nightmare.

"Of course they aren't something of a conventional design, as you can see we took a little bit of inspiration from that of our enemy. The reptilian design works wonders in any terrain and even the tail works to your advantage as a balancing aid and a close quarters weapon." Rhocon spoke up with a gleeful look on his face as he watched their expressions, though Jay seemed rather unimpressed about it with a mechanical look on his face.

Sam could only look in awe as the mechanical winches began to unload the cargo, the reptilian power armor set down right before him. The whole thing just exuded power, everything from the sleek design to the engine and weapons systems looked state of the art. The most surprising part though was that it only stood about a foot taller than him, which meant that the inside was going to be a snug fit and that there was likely a neural interface that controlled the whole thing. "There we are, the saviors of your race." Rhocon said with a grin as he patted the metallic flank of the suit.

"So you say... though how do you get inside?" Sam asked as he looked the power armor down from it's foot claws to the horned skull. The suits had quite the intricate details built into them. Sam pondered as he intimated, "Hopefully this design has more advantages with the reptilian look on the field instead of simply intimidating our enemies when they see more lizards running towards them."

"Oh, I'm sure that I could go through the list of technical specs that tell you how this thing is going to make your army far superior to the threat that encroaches upon you." Rhocon replied as he pressed something against the side of the machine that caused the 'mouth' of the machine to open. "But I think it would be better if you two gave it a try for yourself. Sam, why don't you get into the first one while I unload another one for your friend here. Just make it so that everything is facing the same way and then once you're snug inside the gel inside will take over the integration process. That means you have to be naked by the way, we don't have the bio-suits that you can wear yet but the nerve integration systems work just as well against bare skin."

A blush grew across Sam's face as he realized he had to strip down in front of the other two men. "Erm... alright but would you guys mind turning around for a second?" He asked as he started pulling off his shirt, motioning for his two companions to give him a bit of privacy.

"A little bashful are we?" Rhocon said, causing the already embarrassed human to turn redder. "Very well, Jay and I here will talk shop as we pick out another suit from the crate. Do try to enjoy yourself and don't worry, all the weapons are on safety mode so no risk of blowing anything up."

With a nod, Sam turned back to undressing as he noticed Rhocon grabbing Jay from behind and leading him onwards. As soon as his feet touched the cold metallic floor of the room, he stood face to face with his new suit of armor, with the only way inside appearing be through the mouth of the beast. "It must've slipped by him to tell me how to wriggle my way inside... unless he wants me to literally go headfirst into the mouth" Sam pondered as it did seem to be just large enough for him to get in.

Not wanting to waste time to get dressed and find Rhocon to ask, he pulled up a step ladder right in front of the armor to get a good position to get his footing inside. With one exploratory thrust, he pushed one of his legs down into the mouth, the biosynthetic throat immediately enveloping the leg as it felt surprisingly and most comfortably, quite warm to the touch. Soon after he had both legs down into the gullet of the armor, to the outside observer it would appear as if the human was being devoured by a mechanical lizardman.

"Ah... this isn't so bad but it is rather awkward they really need to think of a better way to getting 'suited up' guess that'll come with the next models." Sam smirked as he lowered himself more and more into the maw. Unfortunately the surrounding slickness got to him and he lost his grip on the ladder, falling all the way into the suit, completely engulfed from head to toe in the gel-like interior.

There was a slight hissing in his ear and he realized that the communications device that he had been given the previous day was still in his ear, but it was too late for him to do anything about it though as the 'mouth' closed, which surrounded him in complete darkness before the areas around his eyes began to light up. Before he had a chance to do anything about it the gel around his body began to grow warm. His skin began to tingle as the entire suit began to power up, a loading screen appearing right before his eyes as it began to count down and run diagnostic systems.

As the different subsystems ticked off on the screen before him, he felt as if the gel was trying to thrash him around a bit. His fingers and toes were clenching and unclenching as they were linked up directly to the armor, electrical tingles shot through every nerve in his body. The nerve integration process also seemed to effect more than just his limbs, as his cock started to harden and throb inside of the warm gel. The way his arms were positioned however left him unable to even stroke it though as he was trying to wiggle around, the screen finished it's systems check and was fully booted up. "Nervous system integration at over 90%. Continued use of the Lyrzen Combat Suit will improve the functions over time as the passive integration process completes." A computerized male voice said directly into his earpiece.

Sam had little idea what the combat suit was actually doing, but as he moved his hand to see if he could get any wiggle room from the gel he suddenly felt the entire suit move in response. It was amazing, nothing in their arsenal could even remotely compare to the suit and since the whole thing appeared to be environmentally sealed it meant that the normally corruptive influences of their enemies would be unable to work unless they managed to pry open the suit itself. The biggest problem with their fight is for that every man they lost was another man that the enemy side gained. If their entire militia was outfitted with them, or even a fourth of them, then their war may have a brighter outcome then it currently did...

"Let's see how well the visual sensors work though, without those active I'm just a sitting duck." The info on the screen relegated itself to the corner as the optical system activated. The cargo bay started to appear before his eyes were blinded by the harsh fluorescent lighting of the room. Squinting his eyes appeared to do the trick as the sensors picked up on it and dimmed the display accordingly.

Suddenly a map sensor lit up at the corner of his 'eye', a ping that registered that another suit had powered up. Even though the number on top of it made no sense to him he knew that Jay had gotten into the other suit, and as he turned his head he saw the second suit moving around as well.

"I guess Rhocon is giving Jay a go at it too, our mechanics better know how these things work inside and out..."

As Sam began to mentally scroll through the menus, amazed that he didn't have to touch a single button in order to do so, he failed to notice the second machine begin to spasm slightly before it moved behind him. What he did notice though was an increased warmth as his vision began to grow fuzzy, a strange hissing noise filled his ears as he began to move forward inside the suit. At first he thought it was something wrong with the machines, but there were no warning lights and he was in no discomfort. In fact things started to feel so good his body began to react in a way that made him glad his groin was covered, the stimulation causing his body to shudder slightly as he watched the rest of the suits get unloaded from the huge cargo container.

Suddenly he felt something grapple him, the second suited male had grabbed him from behind and restrained him. "Hey! What the hell do you... you..." Suddenly the words 'neural interface connecting' appeared in his vision, and before he could even think of what to do everything began to go dark. The last thing he saw before his vision went black was Rhocon in front of him, who gave him a small smirk before he went unconscious...

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

A clicking sound was ringing out as Sam realized he was laying face down in the floor. Lifting his head up he saw the source of the sound coming from a set of black claws tapping the ground somewhat impatiently.

"Wakey... wakey..." The figure beckoned as Sam angled his vision upwards until he saw the familiar figure from before.

"Not you again... this must be a dream." Sam's face slumped back down, his head pounding and his ears ringing.

"Oh I can assure you that this is most certainly a dream." The black rubber dragon said as he looked at him with glowing red eyes. Sam tried to move against him but found his arms pinned, and as he looked behind him he saw a red-scaled lizardman right on top of him grappling his body. "Sam, I believe you know Jay... though not in this form I'm sure."

Sam struggled in vain trying to throw the lizardman off his back. "Aghh... what are you talking about?! Quit trying to play tricks on me, I know that's not Jay!" He shouted in defeat, giving up his struggles as they appeared to have him in his place.

"Mhmm... Jay wasn't quite as strong willed as you I'm afraid. It only took just a few hours for him to succumb to his new... programming." Renzyl replied with a smirk. "With his mind fully open to me, it's been quite fun experimenting on him and implanting new suggestions and experiences into his memories. Of course none of that could translate in the real world, which would explain his muted expression as of late."

"I can't... I don't..." Sam tried to reply, his head swimming from all the new information. "How could you know about all this?! We've spent months making sure that we couldn't be tracked and that none of your minions could breach this facility! We even do daily sweeps of people that come from battle to make sure you haven't infected them!"

"Ah yes, you are correct in that this facility is nigh impenetrable... from the outside." A very wide grin crossed the dragon's face. "So we decided to get into the business of war. We did have to do a bit of convincing in your government but you'll find that they don't really care too much about where things come from if they're cheap and reliable, you remember those comm-links, right?"

Sam heard the dim buzzing in his ear start to become louder and then it became clearer and sounded less like random static and more like a voice... it was Renzyl's voice. Then he noticed Renzyl tapping his own ear while he spoke.

"You see, I think a leader can lead his troops best when he has instant communication with them, but this way I can even give them orders they can't refuse. It's kind of like those real time strategy games, you really ought to see my setup for your base, quite a lot of fun actually!" Sam was shocked to hear the dragon speaking clear as day through the headset in his ear. He reached up to try and pinch it out of his ear before he noticed it was no longer where it should be.

"Oh, your device has already been... relocated." Renzyl replied. "Unbeknownst to you the communications bud that you and your friends have so willingly put in your ears have already dissolved and drained into your brain while you slept, it provided me with far better access then anything I could have done. That was when we had our... first meeting, though I have to say that I was surprised when you were the one who ran from me."

Sam tried to respond, but he found his voice to be completely unresponsive as the lizardman that he was told was formerly his mechanic stood him back on his feet. "Awww, that's cute, you still think you can resist." He said with an evil grin as his claw traced under his chin. "Don't you know that you've lost already? You resisted the initial intrusion, so I decided to use my new toys to get you exactly where I want you."

"I do love how they willingly jump into unknown waters if there is even a rumor of salvation." Another voice said, this time Sam was astonished to see their technology rep standing right in front of him. "Don't you Renzyl?"

"Heh, indeed I do Chrono... Have you properly introduced yourself to our little friend here? I think you can get out of character for him now." Renzyl said as he reached at Rhocon's shirt and ripped it off with his clawed finger.

Sam was looking at the mouth, mouth agape as Rhocon was apparently in on the whole thing with Renzyl. Though he couldn't keep his eyes away from the silver-haired human as Renzyl was helping him get undressed, but instead of the naked form of a human, Rhocon's body was shimmering in what seemed to be silver scales. "No way..." Sam said in astonishment as the silver crept up his neck and covered his head, which had become increasingly reptilian. "You're... that silver raptor on the enemy lines.."

"Oh my, it looks like my reputation is starting to spread as well." Chrono said with a grin as he shook off the last of his humanity, his human eyes turning mirror-like with a single blink before he looked over at Renzyl again. "By the way the next time you want someone to masquerade as human pick one of your other generals, I hate that form..."

"Well I did want someone with experience in the matter and plus it gives me the opportunity to have a little more fun with you..." The black dragon leaned in and gave the other male a quick kiss before turning back to the restrained human. "So, how shall we finish up with you? Any fantasies you'd like to act out with Jay there? He's quite attracted to the male form now you see."

"If you think I'm going to go along willingly you might want to take another look at your powers, I just have to wait it out until I wake up again and then I'll warn everyone about what's going on here..." Sam defiantly spoke as he felt the lizard behind him pulling him closer into a tight embrace.

"I think that it's you who needs to take another look at your own situation." Renzyl replied. "The last time we spoke you were in a dream, but it was a dream of your own creation. The suit that you currently reside in has made a direct neural pathway to your subconcious, the same pathway that all your fellow soldiers will soon be making. Chrono made sure that we have time for your conversion... since you're going to be the one that leads my new army when I have left this place."

"You really should feel honored." Chrono said as he wrapped his arms around Renzyl's neck. "Not many obtain the rank of a General from the get go. You have such a strong will though that you are the best choice of all the ones that we have taken, plus a very analytical mind... and just that little bit of naughtiness that we always like to see."

At that last remark the lizardman behind him brushed his very slimy rubbery tongue across his ear. "Mhmm... I'd love to help him realize his true form." His friend Jay's voice was audible but overwhelmed by a reptilian hiss at the end. "Sssshall I begin with him?" Sam felt the beast's cock pushing into the small of his back as he was still locked down in an ironclad grip.

"That is up to your new superior I think." Renzyl replied as he took a claw and ran it along Sam's chin and down his chest. "It sounds like you have the makings of a very eager Lieutenant on your hands Sam. Why don't you let him help you slip into a far more comfortable form? You know you want to... experience the thrill of dominating someone while at the same time feel another male inside you as you change. So what do you say?"

In his mind Sam realized he should try harder to fight them off, to close his eyes and block them all out, he looked down at the floor for a moment before thinking of how to reply. "Well I suppose-" He was cut off by the large draconic cock of Renzyl mere inches from his face. He angled his head up at the dragon as it gave him a reply of his own. "That's a good enough affirmation for me! This ought to put you in a better state of mind though." Renzyl thrusted his hips forward, plunging the latex member into the man's mouth.

Sam let out a muffled yelp as the tip of the strange cock filled his maw, his lips began to turn the same deep blue color as the armor his physical body was in as he felt Jay's claws tickle against his inner thighs. It was wrong what was happening to him, Sam tried to reason, but he had already willingly gave up his resistance the second he hinted to accepting the demon dragon's proposal and the corruption that had already infected his mind blossomed out like a flower. He quickly began to realize that what Renzyl had said was true, that if their world was about to be conquered then why not enjoy a position of power? He could feel Jay's eagerness to please him as the rubber-coated tip of the former human's member press against his backside, and instead of his normal squirming away he reached back with surprising dexterity and grabbed the thick tool to guide it into his hole.

The lizard to his rear was quite lust drunk as he rubbed the latexy pre on his ass, loving the feeling that he was about to top one of his 'superiors.' As he pushed his slick cock into Sam, the still human male pushed forward onto Renzyl's own cock, taking it into his throat a bit as the sensations spurred him on. Though when he tried to pull back, the latex dragon grabbed onto his head and kept him in place, starting to enjoy the feeling of fucking the human's mouth rather than merely getting his cock sucked.

Jay's claws grasped the humans rear as they rubbed a blue latex sheen off on the fair skin. Watching the transformation unfold, the lizardman finally plunged his cock all the way into Sam, bucking into him in time with Renzyl's movements. The black dragon playing with his minion's mind in order to get a more pleasurable experience on his own end with the human.

Renzyl's tainted cum was having the effect of lengthening Sam's face into a proto-muzzle. As he licked around the thick cock, Sam's tongue was also growing longer and thinner. The tip ending with two-tined as he curled it around the intruding member.

"I think he's going to get along here just fine." Chrono said as he stroked his own silvery cock, watching the mutating human grow thick with muscle as his master's member pumped in and out of Sam's sexy muzzle. Not wanting to be left out he slid his way between the demon dragon and his newest convert, his unnaturally long tongue wrapping around the still human member and drawing it into his maw. Within the first few strokes of Chrono's lips the smaller human's shaft lengthened, the head disappearing down into a tapered point as Sam's entire body nearly convulsed with yet another layer of pleasure added to his already overwhelming experience.

Sam was in absolute heaven, his altered mental state soaked in pure bliss as the other three males worked his most sensitive areas. Whereas less then an hour ago he would have never entertained the thought of another male, now he could think of nothing more than to be in their company, though he would like far more to be in Jay's position then his own. But his new Lieutenant was serving his purpose in providing an exquisite pleasure, his new claws flexing as the skin around his fingers split and fell away to reveal blue rubber scales.

Renzyl was still humping away into his newest servant, noticing the growing bumps on Sam's forehead. The human in his lustful state ignored the growing pressure and continued his ministrations to the cock in the growing reptilian muzzle. A rather strong pound by Jay however, seemed to be just the thing to push his new horns through the human's skin. Though the skin was becoming far more scalelike and spreading across his face and scalp. As the rubbery scales spread, his hair started falling out to the detriment of Renzyl who was using it as a handhold, however he quickly found a far better one as he grasped at Sam's growing horns for leverage.

The silvery lizard below him was very skilled at pleasing a male apparently. Though with that last spurt of growth from the human his ridged cock also expanded a good deal, causing Chrono to gag a bit as he wasn't ready for that aspect of the transformation. He quickly got back to work though, as his rubbery muzzle was quite adept at stretching around Sam's new cock.

"Getting rather eager, are we?" Renzyl said with a chuckle as he no longer needed to thrust forward, Jay's reserved sucking had turned into an almost frantic need for the draconic cock in his mouth, his muzzle continuously bumping against the jet black groin of his demon master. Sam was was almost finished, both in his his transformation and reaching his orgasm as he tilted forward to allow his spine to extend out into a thick, rubbery tail that wrapped around Jay and pulled him even harder against him. The simulation had reached a tipping point for all three reptilian creatures, Sam's clawed hands gripped against Chrono's skull as he felt his new cock spurt with rubbery cum, at the same time his master and his subordinate let out a roar and dumped their seed into his mouth and tailhole. The rush of the orgasm was so intense that Sam saw stars, and then his vision quickly faded to black as he felt the thick latex cock slowly slide out from his lips...

When Sam regained his vision he found himself back inside the armor he had been told to test out, seeing Rhocon give him a wink before turning back and talking to Rael. He could still feel the intensity of his climax as well as feel what the others had done to him, though he knew with some disgust that he had his human body back once more. That would not be for long though, he could hear Renzyl's honeyed words in his ear as he piloted the armor where he was told to for a demonstration, licking his lips as he looked out and saw the shadowy reptilian outlines of many of his squad that had already been converted, as well as those sitting around them that would quickly join them...

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

It was quite a wonderful day, the reports from the front show that the invasion forces have quickly retreated and surrendered in the onslaught of the newly mechanized forces equipped with the wonder weapons provided by Rhocon Industries. Except for a few days of momentary communications disruption, as the power suits were fielded throughout the lines they proved exemplary in giving Renzyl a bloody nose. Many technological marvels introduced by the company were in the process of being put to use in the private sector, with talks of billion dollar deals with Mr. Rhocon to vastly improve the telecommunications network of the planet with many new multi-spectrum comm towers.

When at last it appeared that the demons had been defeated and the Country that had started the whole problem in the first place had been put under quarantine, since they all seemed to be irreversibly changed for the time being, a grand military parade was planned in all of the capital cities in order to honor those who had bravely stepped forward to circumvent the fall of the planet. Millions turned up in the various event locales in order to celebrate, most giving thanks that they were unharmed while some wanted desperately to see the machines that turned the tide of the corruption that had once been feared throughout the land.

It was a clear, sunny day when the event happened, people lined the streets en masse in order to watch as the large machines marched down their streets. The lines were led by one in particular, a dark blue armor that had received more commendations and had risen further in the ranks than almost anyone in the army to date. The soldier who piloted it was to receive a medal of heroes as well, the media saying that it was that armor in particular that had managed to fight the demon dragon himself in a life-or-death grapple that lasted nearly an hour.

Many were in awe of the fact that the new power armors were very intricately modeled off of reptilians designs, like those of the enemy. Figuring that the best way to fight the demonic forces was on their own terms. Though the largest and bulkiest seemed to be the one of the General. Sam rose through the ranks quite fast indeed and was awaiting for a long time when this day would come. He stepped forward at the head of his formation, on a podium as the people screamed and shouted for a speech.

"So, care to show us the face of our hero?" The presenter asked as he made room on the stage for Sam to speak to the crowd. Video cameras capturing the entire event live on a worldwide broadcast.

"Indeed I do." The low mechanized voice replied, the armor slouched slightly as the glowing blue eyes turned off, then the mouth itself began to open. Everyone waited with baited breath to see the face of their savior, a veritable hush falling over the crowd as a gloved hand reached out and grabbed onto the side of the metal jaw. As everyone watched two muscular arms that looked like they were covered in blue rubber came out of the mouth, and though that caused a few murmurs most believed it was merely the neural interface suit that the machinations required since many army personnel were seen with some sort of rubber outfit on.

When Sam finally hoisted himself out however, the appearance of his scaly, reptilian head caused the momentary cheer that rose up to quickly turn into a gasp of horror. "Not what you expected?!" He shouted out over the confused and startled crowd, some people screaming as he easily slid out of the suit and took the microphone away from the stunned officiant. "Why are you not cheering? Do you not know that the war has been won?" His manic countenance quickly turned darker though as an evil grin spread across his face as he looked directly into the camera. "Or is because you had been confused up until this point on which side was actually the victor?"

The rest of the troops then began extricating themselves from their own suits each one that emerged was a rubbery lizardman exactly like the minions of Renzyl. "Never fear, there is no need to panic.." The blue dragon with the microphone in hand said as he licked his lips. Members of the crowd who were ready to turn tail and flee were suddenly unable to move, through their feet weren't glued to the ground in terror, it was the hypnotic suggestions of the speakers caused them to freeze, along with everyone who was viewing the broadcast in their homes.

"Since I am speaking with most of the world, I would like to consider this the terms of your surrender." Sam said as the rest of the reptilian creatures formed into neat rows by their armor. "As you can see you've already given us all the control that we need, all those hours glued to the communication devices that were so freely given have effectively turned your willpower into mush. So for everyone who has the honor of being here at one of the parades you will be given the honor of being personally converted by the soldiers who have fought to make this a place of peace. For those at home, if you happen to have a Rhocon device on you then you will all receive the honor of being the harbinger's of Renzyl's gift to your neighborhoods."

"I'd like to personally thank Mr. Rhocon for making all of this happen." Sam stepped away and motioned at the center of the stage where a bright light seemed to tear through thin air as a man dressed in a suit stepped out, he looked at the blue lizardman on the stage with a smirk. "Go on and wave to the people Chrono, I'm sure most of them recognize you from pictures. Ah... you might want to remove your disguise first."

In a flash of shimmering light the man transformed into a silvery raptor before everyone's eyes. "Oh and Renzyl is on his way but he was running a bit late... I'm not sure where or when he is going to get here." Chrono nudged his counterpart on the stage while smiling at the crowds, those who weren't easily enthralled but still stuck there watching the scene unfold in horror.

"Well then, I'm sure he won't mind if we start the party without him." Sam replied as he held out his hands, all the lizardmen immediately turning towards him. "Men, move out and commence the celebrations!"

And with the snap of claws a bitter war that had been raging ended in one swift action, not with a scream or the sound of a bomb, but with pleasured moans as the planet's population fell swiftly to the demon's will.
