#4 of A New Era

Tyler and his team move in to try and enact their plan to save the town, but considering the cunning of the Makovi they might not even be able to save themselves.

A commission for PanzerMaus


Fredrick, Tyler, Sam, and Brandon carefully slithered their way through the Makovi infested town, trying to hide their surprise and shock at all the rubber nagas that surrounded them.

As much as their guts wanted them to do something for these people immediately they knew that their mission took precedence over the needs of those around them. They were to find the leader of the Makovi and put a stop to the alien incursion that threatened their planet, part of a job that they had stumbled into when they found the cache of items from Tyler's uncle during his time as part of a task force to stop such things from happening. That is also what brought them to the alien-infested town in the first place, their intimate knowledge of the Makovi would be their greatest asset towards the stopping of their invasion force.

At the moment their plan seemed to be working, aside from a few lustful glances from the latex covered creatures they went largely unnoticed. "Alright, so now we're in and it's just as bad as we expected." Sam hissed quietly as they sat in the park in front of a loosely populated fountain area. "How are we going to find the leader when he's already assimilated the entire town? They all look alike and there's no way we could safely access the psychic network that is no doubt overwhelming with the amount of human-turned-aliens that are around here."

"At the risk of sounding clichéd I think we're going to have to split up on this one." Brandon replied. "There's way too much town for us to cover all on our own. The only question is whether we go in groups of two or if we split up individually."

"Groups of two." Tyler said as he put a clawed finger to his scaly lip in contemplation. "If something happens to one of us I don't want it to go unnoticed for long. You remember what happened at the house, even with our training they can probably still easily persuade us to give them any information they want if we get connected to the hivemind. It would be nice to at least have a chance to get some forewarning to the other group."

"Fair point." Brandon said. "How about Fredrick and Sam go together and then Tyler and I will make up the other team. Considering the fact that the two of them have been looking at every naga that's passed us by it might be good for them to be together to resist the temptation."

"Hey, we're all tempted here." Fredrick replied with a slightly raised voice, which caused the other three to shush him. "What I'm trying to say is that we know how these aliens operate, even with these collars I can still feel their minds pressing against my own and my own 'instincts' telling me I need to breed with everyone I can and get as many bellies filled with eggs as possible, including my own."

As the conversation continued about instinctual drives and the Makovi continued Sam was the only one that remained quiet, his reptilian eyes surveyed the scene around him for a while before he finally chimed in. "You know, it is strange how this community is working." He finally interjected. "I mean, look around, this town should be a non-stop orgy but instead life is still going on like normal for them. Well... as normal as it could be for a bunch of alien rubber nagas. I almost wonder if it's different because an actual Makovi alien is down here."

The other three looked around and realized that what Sam had said made a lot of sense. Unlike when they had been taken over by their masks the nagas did react in a cordial manner to one another, almost like they didn't even know what had happened to them. There were a lot more public displays of affection, especially in the back where several of the former humans had used their new bodies to wrap themselves around each other. In each case though there was very little actual sex, and though a number of them had very swollen, egg-heavy bellies none of them were laying the eggs on the ground or in each other.

Tyler was the first to snap the group out of their observations and reminded them of the clock they were on. The others nodded and ended up splitting into the groups that Brandon had suggested, though neither pair knew which way they were going to go exactly. In the end Tyler and Brandon decided to try and track where the egg-heavy nagas went while Sam and Fredrick tried to find the areas where the Makovi mated exclusively in order to incubate said eggs. As they split apart they knew they had to hurry, not only was their time slipping away their strange actions began to draw the attentions of those around them.

"I'm not sure if this is such a good idea." Brandon said as he and Tyler slithered off towards the center square of the town. "Don't get me wrong, I love Sam and Fredrick to death and would trust them with anything else, but I'm always a little nervous when they do things concerning the Makovi. They spent the most time enthralled by their masks, how do we know that it didn't change them somehow?"

"I wonder that myself about this whole group sometimes." Tyler replied, their voices hushed slightly as they passed by a group of nagas that gave them a look before they returned to their card game. "We were all exposed to the Makovi corruption, who knows what it did to us."

Brandon seemed to drift off slightly, as Tyler looked where his gaze was he noticed that in a cusp of trees two Makovi had taken advantage of the moderate shelter to begin to mate. "Sorry, I was still listening." Brandon said when he realized his friend was staring at him in question. "You were the one that was affected the least by the whole process, if it hadn't been for the fact that you had to make them orgasm in order for the ring to work you might not have been affected at all. That's why I feel the most comfortable with you leading the show, you- wait, shh, someone's coming."

Tyler and Brandon waited as several Guardian Makovi suddenly turned the corner and passed by them, heading towards one of the larger houses on the hill. The two looked at each other for a second before they decided to follow the four armed rubber giant, though they still kept their distance. They watched as they transported some type of strange crystalline object between them towards one house in particular, an elegant and contemporary three story house that crawled not only with Makovi but also the assimilation snakes that hatched out of their eggs. "Well this seems promising." Brandon said as they slithered up towards a nearby ice cream vendor in order to throw off suspicion as they cased the structure.

Meanwhile Alitar sat in the same mansion in what had been the former occupant's office, a deep frown on his serpentine face as his claws clacked clumsily on the keyboard of the large computer. "Can't believe they haven't even developed thought input technology." The alien naga muttered as he continued to input commands into it. "This 'internet' is also so rudimentary, but I guess what do you expect with primitive creatures that can't even link thoughts yet."

"Sir!" A voice shouted from the doorway that caused Alitar to look up. "The objects you requested for your ship have arrived, shall I send them in?"

"Please." Alitar said as the smaller naga left hurriedly. He just shook his head as he slithered to the window, ever since he had given Siridis the task of keeping track of their invasion force he had been forced to use the person that had previously resided in the house he now stayed in. While he wasn't sure what a 'Mayor' was he had an idea it may have been another term for useless that his translator chip didn't have a reference for as he mumbled "definitely only good for a breeding planet."

His thoughts were interrupted when he looked out the window and surveyed the scene of that which he had created, his reptilian eyes glanced down at one of the vendors and more importantly to the two Makovi that ate next to it. As he stared down at the two nagas the smaller naga came back, clicking his latex claws in nervousness as he slid himself over to the pre-occupied alien. "Sir, they're ready to set up your beacon." Alitar heard next to him as he continued to stare. "Sir?"

"Shut up." Alitar hissed as he held a hand up and cupped his snout. They both stood there quietly for a few seconds, the former mayor looking back and forth with his slitted pupils in both terror and confusion. When his maw was finally released Alitar's servant rubbed his snout and looked at him pitifully, then looked out the window at where his master looked at. Finally after a long period of silence Alitar spoke up again with a suddenness that caused the other naga to jump slightly as the alien pointed down. "Take the guards and bring that one to the main study, make sure he's comfortable."

"Y-yes Sir." The smaller naga said before he bowed and hurried away. Once the creature was out the door Alitar breathed a sigh of relief for finally being rid of the obnoxious pest, then went to the mirror that stood in an antique brass frame. He looked himself over a few times before he gave himself a nod of approval, then as he began to pick up several items from the desk he heard a loud bang and the heavy creak of the floorboards as his Guardians no doubt brought him what he had asked for.

Alitar waited for few more minutes, softly humming to himself as he let his guest take in his new surroundings for a while. "Perhaps there is something on this gods-forsaken planet after all." He said to himself as he started for the door. By the time he was in the hallway his servant was almost on his way to tell him what he already knew, instead of bothering he merely pushed the former human out of the way and crossed the balcony towards the study.

When the Makovi got there he couldn't help but feel a smile form on his rubbery lips, the lithe creature he had seen down in front of his house was situated with his back to the large stone fireplace. As soon as he had laid eyes on him Alitar knew there was something... unique about the male before him, something that caused his ovipositor to swell from something other than the breeding instinct. "Why hello there, I hope my Guardians didn't startle you." The Makovi said, getting the younger naga's attention as he went over to a bar with several bottles on it. "My name is Alitar, the soon to be ruler of this path... lovely world you call home. You are?"

"Tyler." Tyler replied simply, though inside his nerves screamed with anxiety ever since the huge snakemen grabbed him and separated him from Brandon. "So... you're the one who caused all this?" Despite being scared in the back of his mind he knew he had a job to do, and even though he was now face to face with humanity's greatest enemy it meant that they were one step closer to their goal as his clawed fingers played with the golden metal of the collar in his satchel."

"You could say that." Alitar replied with a grin as he handed a glass filled with an amber liquid to Tyler. "I must say that I'm impressed with your strength of will, not only are you not sniveling, groveling, or mindlessly obeying me like all your kin but you have the presence of mind to be inquisitive. That's a very endearing trait, I hope you know."

Tyler tried his best not to swallow hard as he avoided eye contact with Alitar as best he could. "Thanks I guess." He replied as smooth as possible. "So... why is it that you had your men bring me here?"

"I told you already, you have something that I wanted to see close up." Alitar replied, which caused Tyler to immediately begin to look for ways out in case the Makovi was about to announce that his cover was blown. "Do you know what a Makovi is, little one?"

"I'm guessing it's what we all are now." Tyler replied, still on guard but slightly perplexed by the alien's odd question.

"That's not quite true." Alitar rebuked with a grin as he set the glass down on the table. "While you all have been transformed into something far greater than your old primitive forms you are not true Makovi, you just have been symbiotically altered in order to serve our purposes. You could go back to your old forms at any time... a true Makovi is a creature that has chosen to completely forsake their own race and embrace ours, not as a servant or solder but as one who leads. Though we give up our old lives it's a small price to pay for what we become, true masters of our domain."

Tyler slithered back slightly as Alitar moved towards him, the rubber of their skins nearly inches away as their reptilian eyes locked gazes. "Why... why are you telling me all this?" Tyler asked, suddenly more fearful for what the alien naga had in store for him more than the fact that he might know what his plan was.

"I am one who knows what he wants." Alitar said as he traced a claw down Tyler's pectorals. "There's something special about you, not just the delicate silver markings that are accentuated by that stylish collar or your beautiful form, but something in your eyes. I saw a glimpse of it while you stood outside my door, and I see it now as you look at me. I want you, Tyler, and I'm willing to bestow upon you the power and privilege of the Makovi as long as you promise to be by my side as we rule over this planet."

Tyler was completely taken aback by the sudden offer and didn't know what to say as Alitar looked into his eyes. From the limited knowledge that he had of the alien race he thought they were like parasites, spreading from planet to planet with the singular goal of taking over other worlds. Even when he and the other members of his group had worn the masks in their training bay all they thought about was sex even with the specialized restrictions that the room gave in order for them to keep their minds. Now not only was he confronted by the off-putting adorations of a true Makovi but the sudden declaration threw all his feelings into confliction.

"I see that you are having trouble making up your mind." Alitar said as he backed away from Tyler slightly. "From what I have researched of your planet your kind have an extremely complex and long drawn out mating ritual, I believe it's called 'dating', whereas we have no such thing. The sun is setting soon and one of the acts humans enjoy is sharing a meal together during the evening, so why don't you stay here and we can eat together. I will make you feel more comfortable and you can help me understand how this planet works so when you inevitably decide to become my mate and a true Makovi we can transition your race more easily."

Tyler was unsure whether the rubber naga was truly trying to make an effort or merely indulged in his own ego, but the only thing that he knew for certain was that dinner gave him ample opportunity to slip the control collar on him and end the invasion once and for all. "Alright Alitar, I accept." Tyler replied as he attempted to hide his nervousness. "What did you have in mind?"

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

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Fredrick asked his boyfriend as they stood outside the town's school, which was where most of the heavily egg-laden nagas seemed to congregate to. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, but this seems to be adding quite the risk for the potential that we're wrong."

Sam sighed and rubbed the rubbery skin of his temples with his upper set of arms while the lower pair remained crossed across his chest. "I know that it's probably not the smartest idea we've ever had, but the only people that they're allowing in are the ones that have bulging bellies, which means that if we want to get in there at least one of us is going to have to have it." He reasoned. "Probably both of us just to be safe, so we're going to have to knock each other up, which given the feelings that come with depositing eggs being so powerful that we may lose it, or find another pair that's willing to do it."

"I understand what you're saying but..." Fredrick trailed off slightly as he looked down. "It's just I don't like the thought of doing this with two random strangers. I mean I know we share ourselves with the other two members of our group, but we know them and we all experienced the same thing together that made us... like this."

Sam just smiled and took Fredrick by the hand. "I promise that I will still be there to be with you and protect you." He reassured as his upper arms wrapped around Fredrick's head and pulled him in close to his sculpted chest. "I am your guardian mate, after all."

Both of them chuckled slightly before they looked at each other, then moved out of their hiding spot towards a nearby open market where several nagas had congregated to either eat or lounge out in the rays of the sun. Their slits began to open slightly as their ovipositors swelled at the sight of all the muscular, rubbery nagas in front of them, but they remained as steadfast as possible as they looked for someone to fill them with eggs. They knew if they were part of the psychic network finding a potential egg-layer would have been easy, but given the already overpowering instincts of lust it would be the same as impregnating each other. What they wanted was a means to get eggs through the least pleasure as possible, which began to prove increasingly difficult as others began to eye them up hungrily.

"If we don't pick someone soon we're going to spark an orgy." Fredrick whispered as they continued to slither past the eager males. "Do you think they suspect?"

Sam just shook his head as they continued to look around. As they rounded back towards the school again they suddenly felt a hand on their shoulders, both of them turning to see a huge guardian naga behind them. "You two haven't seeded recently." The large rubber reptile said matter-of-factly, both of them looking at each other before they slowly shook his head. "Good, come with me."

Sam and Fredrick were led into the backdoor of the gym that was attached to the school, and what they saw caused their jaws to open in shock. The entire floor of the building was filled with both eggs and Makovi snakes. "There... there must be thousands..." Sam said in awe.

"Tens of thousands actually, and more coming every day." The larger naga corrected as he led him into the school proper. As they passed by classrooms he could see that was where all the action was, loud moans and hisses coming from them as they saw several heavily-laden Makovi had eggs push out of their ovipositors while in other rooms several had their cocks pushed deeply into the vents of others. "Siridis oversees the whole operation, he's the one who needs you."

Sam and Fredrick were pushed into the principal's office and the door slammed shut behind him, another naga in the room wrote down numbers on a large whiteboard that dominated the wall. As the two slithered forward the naga they assumed was Siridis came forward, looking them over before he nodded in approval. "Good, I assume that you two are together." He said as he opened one of the doors into another office. "I've just laid the last of my own eggs and with master Alitar indisposed I'm free to breed who I want. You can let your guardian watch, but your slit is mine."

Fredrick felt his entire body shiver as the amorous naga came towards him, Siridis pinning him to the wall before he felt the ovipositor press against him. The two of them looked at each other in panic, Sam wanted nothing more than to rip the Makovi off his boyfriend, but to do so would blow all their covers potentially and he couldn't do that. He couldn't help but watch as Siridis kissed Fredrick, and then grew irritated as Fredrick kissed him back. As the two made eye contact Fredrick shrugged, though it quickly turned into a moan as Siridis speared his ovipositor into Fredrick's slit.

"That's it!" Sam shouted and ripped Siridis off of Fredrick, the surprised naga letting out an angry hiss as his erect ovipositor wiggled in the open air.

"How is this possible?!" Siridis said as Sam put him in a headlock. "I am second to Alitar, you shouldn't be able to do this!"

Both Sam and Fredrick looked at each other in panic as they realized what had just happened. "Oh crap." Sam said as he looked down at the struggling naga...

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

Tyler watched the lights come on in the town as he picked at the food on his plate. Alitar had continued to express the benefits not only of being his mate but also converting to be a true Makovi, and after a while it had become background noise as he continued to ponder his predicament. He had until morning to figure out how he was going to trick Alitar into letting his guard down long enough to slip the collar on him, but so far he had always faced him and never turned his back to him for more than a few seconds. If he couldn't then he would have to abort the whole project and get him and his team out of the city before the group they worked for obliterates the entire town and the Makovi threat along with it.

"Tyler?" Alitar asked, which snapped Tyler out of his thoughts and forced him to focus on his host. "It looked like you were drifting off there for a second."

"Sorry, I was just thinking... about your proposal." Tyler quickly added when he saw the beginning of a frown on the other naga's lips. "I know that humanity is basically slated to become part of your empire, but to turn my back on it completely and become a full Makovi, that's asking for a lot."

"I know it is." Alitar said as he slithered around the table and once more entered into Tyler's personal space, his hands pressed against Tyler's shoulders and their bodies were mere inches from one another. "It's a wonderful honor though and unlike those beneath us you'll never be filled with eggs if you don't want to and can give them to anyone you desire."

"But why me?" Tyler asked, stalling. "From your words you could have anyone you wanted yourself."

Alitar chuckled, turning Tyler around and gently pushing him away from the table and towards another room. "I think it's because you remind me a lot of myself." He said. "I was also a hunter Makovi when I was converted, and I was also nervous when I was given the option to fully embrace my new race. I hadn't gotten it from mateship, my converter had seen my work and decided to 'promote' me based on my abilities. Now I see another young Makovi with all those traits and I know that you would be a fitting leader, as well as a wonderful mate. That last part is just instinct of course."

Tyler forced a laugh as he realized that he was being lead towards the bedroom, then panic when he realized he had left his satchel with the golden collar in the dining room. "You know what, I think you've convinced me." Tyler said hastily, which caused the pushy naga to stop dead in his tracks with a surprised look on his face as he continued. "I have to admit I have feelings for you as well, and to pass up such an offer from such a fine specimen as yourself I would have to be crazy. In fact if you'll just let me get my bag I think I have something-"

Unfortunately the disguised human didn't have a chance to finish his statement as he felt the forceful press of reptilian lips against his own, their thin tongues entwining as they shared their first kiss. For Tyler it caused him to grow aroused, his mind instinctually drifting back to the times that he had spent with the other members of his group. Their latex bodies squeaked slightly as Alitar nearly pushed him into a wall while their fierce make-out session continued. When it finally ended Tyler was out of breath, panting slightly out of his muzzle as Alitar took him by the hands and began to drag him towards the bedroom while he attempted to get back to the dining room. "Whatever gift you have for me can wait." Alitar said with equal parts anxiety and lust. "We must begin the process now to have you fully converted by morning so you can help me lead our invasion."

Tyler tried to protest but the other rubber alien naga insisted and in a few minutes he stood in a rather nice bedroom with several very odd contraptions strewn about. "Apologies for the mess, I had a few things from my ship moved in, data acquisition module, beacon, and most importantly..." he said with a grin as he picked up a small crystal decanter with what looked like an eyedropper inside, "...this."

"Is that... for me?" Tyler gulped nervously as he looked at the door, the situation quickly growing out of his control.

"Technically it's for me." Alitar replied with a chuckle, the naga took out the stopper and proceeded to open his mouth wide and allow a single drop of the crystalline substance to fall into his throat. "It's a compound that allows me to produce a single special conversion egg, one that I will insert into you and cement your new form. The physical transformation is the quickest, then once your feeble mind is strengthened by your new body you'll develop the new psychic powers that only true Makovi are blessed to have."

Tyler was trapped with few options, already he could see Alitar's ovipositor begin to poke out of his slit and a small bulge form in his stomach. If he allowed himself to become converted he would never be human again, but if he ran now he would lose his likely only shot to trap Alitar once they were finished. He only hoped the collar he wore could handle the psychic force as he took the queue from Alitar to lie back on the bed.

To his surprise Alitar was extremely engaged with the act, as they slithered onto the bed the other Makovi rubbed the muscles of his chest and stomach while they continued to make out. More than once Tyler forgot himself and passionately returned the pleasurable actions, their tails wrapped around one another as they carrassed each other's backs, sides, and groin. Soon both of their long members were fully erect, the prehensile organs pressed against the body of one another as Alitar's stomach continued to expand. Tyler snaked his head down and watched as the alien's belly inflated with a rather large egg, which had begun to sink lower towards the throbbing tool of the dominant male.

A sudden click caused Tyler's eyes to widen, his mouth open in slight horror as he realized the error he had just made. Before he could bring his hands up to stop him Alitar removed the silver collar from his neck and tossed it aside, a flood of new emotions and feelings flooded Tyler's mind and caused his back to arc as Alitar held him close. His eyes squeezed shut as his psyche struggled to comprehend everything, feeling the minds of the entire town connect to him as the other Makovi continued to pleasure his body. He tried to say something to Alitar to get him to stop, but his entire body was paralyzed and all he could do was watch as the other naga's ovipositor hovered over his slit.

"It's time, get ready to embrace your new life." Alitar whispered, Tyler unable to do anything as he felt the thick, rubbery organ push into him. The lustful contact seemed to snap Tyler out of his shocked state, the pleasurable sensations actually aided in his focus to keep the instincts at bay. Surprisingly the need to convert was rather muted, whether it was just because he was with a true Makovi or about to become one he couldn't say, especially when all his thoughts were drawn to the very large bulge that had begun to travel down Alitar's cock. He looked up to see an expression of pure bliss on Alitar's face, similar to the one on his own as he felt an entirely unexpected emotion bubble to the surface.

For the first time since he met Alitar, Tyler figured out what he meant by his sudden attachment to him. As he gazed at the handsome naga's face he was surprised to find a similar adoration inside him, one that he was extremely reluctant to say was love as his own thick snake muscles bucked up to get more of the ovipositor inside him. Meanwhile the egg continued its journey towards Tyler's body, meeting only slight resistance until the thick bulge of rubber flesh popped into his body which caused him to dig his claws into the mattress from pleasure.

"Alitar..." Tyler hissed as he could now feel the egg travel down the other naga's ovipositor, his arms wrapped around Alitar's back as they began to push against each other. Even if he wanted to Tyler could feel resistance against his vent and the bulge inside of him, in fact it seemed to speed up the process as he felt the spherical object near the tip of Alitar's cock. The closer it got to enter his body the longer Alitar's thrusts became, his coils arched up as more and more of his ovipositor slid out of Tyler's vent before it was pushed back in.

Alitar braced himself and they coiled around each other tightly as he felt the crystalline egg begin to push out into Tyler's body, both of them moaned and began to pant heavily as their pleasure skyrocketed. There was nothing either of them could at that point except ride the wave of lust as their bodies undulated against each other and rubbed each other as every inch of their rubbery skin became electrified with pleasure. For what seemed like an eternity they were locked together as the egg passed from Alitar to Tyler, Alitar straining with pure bliss as it stretched his tip to the limit while Tyler hissed in delight as that same object slid into his body.

Finally the egg passed into Tyler's body and as soon it did they both orgasmed, clutching each other tightly. Tyler's eyes snapped open as his pupils contracted to mere slits, his entire body shuddered and his hands shot to his stomach as he could feel the egg begin to dissolve. Alitar slowly slid off the other male as he watched the conversion begin, the already dark rubber that Tyler was covered in turned a deeper black as a pair of fangs slid out past his lips. As the obsidian coloration spread out Tyler's back suddenly arched, every muscle contracting as the muscles underneath his skin writhed and popped. The bump in his stomach slowly began to recede as his spine popped, his body growing even longer as he felt his insides rearrange even more and his ribs crack to help support his frame even more.

"Shhh... shhh..." Alitar said as he wiped a bit of black fluid from Tyler's lips as his rubbery lips turned up in a grimace. "Just let the changes happen, it'll all be over soon."

True to his word less than a minute passed before Tyler's body suddenly went still, his mouth still open in shock as he panted heavily. Alitar smiled and kissed him on the cheek before he stood back up, watching as crystalline tendrils began to seep into the green of his mate's eyes. "Rest now, in a few hours everything will be as it should." He said before he left the room, his smile quickly turned into a frown as he saw the former mayor cowering the corner. "If anyone disturbs him I will turn you into a breeder slut and fill you so full of eggs you can hardly move, you got it?"

As Alitar continued to give instruction to his underlings Tyler continued to lie there on the bed, his body unmoving save for a single blackened tear that rolled down from his eyes as they continued to turn an icy blue...
