Serathin whistled to himself as he made his way through the institute that he called home. As someone who could shift through multiple dimensions of his own personal timeline this place was where such a thing was possible, allowing him to see and experience things that he would have never even dreamed of before while at the same time maintaining his own safety and security. At the moment however he wasn't thinking about any of that, the only thing that was on the hybrid's mind at the moment was the Chinese food that that he had ordered and how he planned to eat all of it back in his room. Just as he was about to get into his apartment however he felt the cell phone in his pocket start to vibrate incessantly, quickly reaching the point where he fished it out instead of his keys as he looked to see what the messages were about.

As soon as he saw who it was and what they wanted him for Serathin sighed and put the phone back, then turned away from the door and made his way to the opposite side of the campus where the offices were. It didn't take him long to find the one that had sent the texts in the first place, the bull man that was one of his SHIFT supervisors sitting at one of the conference tables typing away at his computer. "You know if you're not going to use your office ever I would be happy to take it." Serathin commented as he walked inside and sat down in a nearby chair after resting his bags on the table.

"I don't like being in confined spaces," the bull man replied before he took a tablet and slid it over to him. "Plus your office is your pod, not to mention your trash can if the few times I poked my head in are any indication. But we're not here to discuss accommodations, we need you to shift to this location immediately and gather data on the phenomenon that is going on there."

Serathin frowned slightly and looked at the tablet, cycling through the pictures that were on there. "You're telling me that this can't wait until after dinner," Serathin stated as he saw a number of anthro creatures in each of the slides, the first one with them in a normal scenario while the second one almost always has them lying in a hospital bed. "I don't get it, are all these people dying of something? I'm not doing disease control duty again, I already pulled that shift twice in the last week."

"It's not some sort of disease," the bull explained. "At least not one that we can find out about with our passive scans of the timeline there. Those pictures only show you the before and after, apparently all these creatures that you see in that tablet reported feelings of extreme euphoria and exhibited strange behaviors before they suddenly became comatose. Now while they all eventually recover when they do wake up they report feelings of intense emptiness and lack of self."

"So it's a succubus then," Serathin replied as he pulled out one of his lo mein containers and started to eat. "Or some sort of brain parasite, either way it still doesn't tell me why I have to go right now."

"You have to go because you have an alter that's currently in the town being affected," the bull man replied as he took the container of shrimp and noodles and pulled it away from him, causing the draconic sabrewolf to sit there with a look of contempt on his face and several noodles hanging from his chopsticks. "This is also something that has never happened before and we're not sure how long it's going to last, especially since it only affects people one at a time. Now we know that there's nothing transformation related that's happening here so you're just going to have to grit your teeth and take one for the team."

Serathin sighed and rolled his green eyes, then got up and took the tablet with him while also snatching the box of lo mein from the bull's hands. Though he knew that time was of the essence he continued to walk slowly enough so that he could eat his dinner as much as he could before he got to his pod. He managed to finish most of one container and was crunching through several of his crab rangoons as he entered into the metal door that had his name on it, seeing the chair that he used to shift to different timelines waiting for him. He put the rest of the food on the nearby desk which despite the bull ragging on him was relatively clean before he walked over and placed the tablet into the computer terminal, which brought up the timeline that they wanted him to investigate before he sat down in his chair.

Since there was already a version of him inside of the world it wouldn't take much for him to get into sync, the computer guiding his psyche so that he didn't have to do it himself to try and find not only his own mind but the timeline that it resided in to. Within a matter of seconds Serathin blinked his eyes once more and found himself standing in the middle of a sidewalk in a small town, breathing out clouds of frozen vapor as he felt the winter jacket and snow pants he wore wrapped around him. A small town in the middle of winter, it was almost an idyllic sight as he once more started to walk once again. Just like always his mind was suddenly filled with knowledge of what this version of Serathin was doing and used it to continue his daily life like normal while also trying to investigate the source of this mysterious outbreak.

The first thing that Serathin tried to sense was some sort of demonic or infernal aura that was around the town, though even as he just walked around the town felt as clean as the fresh-fallen snow he tracked through. Most of the times one can sense an infestation of that sort with a sense of dread or a dark feeling, this just felt like a normal place that probably didn't have decent cable. At least this timeline seemed to have modern technology as he passed by a computer store, though he hoped that he didn't have to stay here too long in order to solve whatever mystery was going on. He wasn't fond of living the lives of his alters for long periods of time, often just coming in when something interesting was happening and then leaving after he had gathered the data or, in some rare instances, stopped what was happening.

With nothing overtly magical in nature happening Serathin went to the next lead he could think of and stopped by the local hospital in order to try and get a bead on those that had been affected. Fortunately fate was with him in this endeavor and he actually worked there as a coroner, which meant that he could hopefully have access to all the files that he needed and possibly the latest patient that came in exhibiting such symptoms. Since none of the patients died however he wouldn't have anything in his office, but luckily with this being a smaller town he still had access to all the data files using his own access card. As he went to the computer in this Serathin's office he hoped that he wouldn't get his alter self fired as he looked into the database of those that checked in with the mysterious illness.

A few hours and a delivered pizza later Serathin had taken the data he gathered and cross-checked it with the mental database he was connected to through the institute that was looking into this place, and sure enough he had found a connection that would have been impossible to find otherwise. The original victim was a miner that had been doing a safety check in a new shaft that had been drilled with machinery, then it was his wife that was affected as well after him. The next one that they had found was a personal secretary that would have had no connection to the miner or the wife, except through the timelines he could see that the two of them were having an affair. In fact everyone that had contracted the illness were connected in one way or another to being married, dating, or adultery.

"Great, my food went cold because of some sort of untraceable STD," Serathin mumbled to himself as he traced the last victim's timeline and found someone that they were probably sexually active with. "Hopefully this is just as simple as an itchy crotch and I can hand in my card for overtime pay." With the address of the snow leopard that was the last contact of the lizardman he left the coroner's office and walked over towards their house. Even with the town being rather small it was on the other side of it and by the time Serathin had walked over there it had gotten even colder out as night fell.

From the timeline of the snow leopard, whose name was Dash, the feline lived alone and hopefully whatever it was that affected these people hadn't been passed on to its next conquest as he knocked on the door. Serathin found himself chewing on his lips as he waited and gave one more loud rapport on the wood before turning away and looking at the street. Though there was no one really walking by the last thing he wanted to do was look suspicious when he was pretty sure this guy was about to be comatose in a few days, but just as he thought about leaving and coming back in the morning the door opened. The snow leopard that was on the other side had a big grin on his face as he asked Serathin who he was and why he was knocking so late at night.

Serathin introduced himself as innocently as he could and even produced the coroner badge he had picked up at the hospital. "I know that this seems strange for someone like me to knock at your door but right now the we're looking into the cases of those comatose victims," Serathin explained, the snow leopard still smiling at him. "I was wondering if perhaps I could come in and talk to you about the latest victim?"

For a few seconds Dash looked him over and for more than a moment Serathin thought that he was about to get the door slammed in his face, only for the snow leopard to smile even wider and allow him inside. Even before the hybrid got past the front door he could tell that the snow leopard had been cooking and as they passed by the dining room he could see a number of plates of food that looked like they had just been prepared. "I'm afraid that I don't really know him all that well," Dash said as he actually guided Serathin into the kitchen where a number of pots and pans were strewn about. "I think I remember talking to him once at a bar and that was it."

"Actually our sources say that you were intimate with him a few nights before he fell ill," Serathin replied bluntly, which caused the snow leopard to drop the spoon he had been holding. "I'm sure that this is something that you remember, and I want to tell you that you can tell me anything and it will stay between us as... doctor-patient confidentiality." Though the draconic sabrewolf wasn't sure that would actually work with a coroner he decided to roll the dice, but even though it looked like the feline believed him Dash just shook his head.

"I think I would remember sleeping with some guy," Dash said as he took a spoonful of the sauce that he was cooking and brought it over towards Serathin. "You mind trying this for me?" Though the hybrid was a bit leery on trying anything from someone that could be sick with some sort of disease he tried it anyway, then gave a nod of approval when he found it tasted delicious. "Anyway I'm sorry to say that your sources are wrong, I never slept with that guy in my life."

Serathin frowned slightly as it sounded like Dash was telling the truth, though if that was the case then the institute fucked up and that was just as unlikely. "Well, if that's the case then I'm sorry that I barged in on you like this," Serathin said as he got up from the chair. "I'll leave you to prepare for your party."

"Party?" The snow leopard said in question.

"Well I imagine that you're making all this food for something," Serathin said as he gestured out towards the dining room that could be seen from the kitchen. "There must be enough food to feed about thirty people out there already, are you saying that you aren't preparing for something big tonight?"

"Nope, just love cooking!" Dash replied happily, his tail wagging in the air as he went back to his sauce before turning off the heat. "I've always been passionate about it but could never get around to it, the last day or so I've just been wanting to cook everything I can put my hands on!" As the snow leopard continued to hum to himself Serathin realized that this might be the bizarre behavior that's been reported in the others. Perhaps the others had been acting out their passions as well to the extreme, and when they woke up whatever caused it had burned out that part of their brains?

"Actually, before I go, do you mind if I just give you a quick check-up?" Serathin asked. "I just want to make sure that you're alright." Dash nodded and went over towards the chair that the draconic sabrewolf gestured for him to take. Once the snow leopard took a seat he attempted to examine him to see if there was any sort of signs of brain trauma or something that he could record in order to confirm that this feline was infected or influenced by the same thing that had affected the other patients.

Much to the hybrid's surprise as soon as he leaned in to look into the eyes of the snow leopard he suddenly found a muzzle pressed against his own. Serathin had not been expecting the kiss but it definitely felt nice, letting out a muffled grunt as he tried to pull away and get control of the situation only for Dash to become more insistent by the second. It wasn't long before the draconic sabrewolf felt himself on the floor with the other man on top of him with a tongue stuck down into his muzzle while feeling this creature grope underneath his shirt. There hadn't been any signs of such lust before but even though he knew that this should be stopped those thoughts were starting to get a bit fuzzy.

The make-out session continued until finally Dash pulled away, which caused Serathin to let out a gasp as he finally was able to breathe once more. When he looked up he saw that while the snow leopard was still smiling at him there was something wiggling past his lips. With them being ethereal in nature and the thoughts in the hybrid's head becoming slower it was hard to make out what they were but eventually he saw that they were some sort of ghostly tentacles that had started to slither out not only from his muzzle but his nostrils as well. It was some sort of possession... not demonic in nature but something that seemed to feed off the desires of those that were its host as Serathin saw a paw get offered to him to help him up.

Even though Serathin had enough information for what he needed he found himself taking the hand of the possessed snow leopard, getting pulled back onto his feet with surprising strength before being pulled out of the kitchen and up the stairs. The felines eyes were a milky white at this point and more tendrils had emerged, this time from his ears as the hybrid was led up towards a door in particular. Even with his thoughts being muddled he had been in the situation enough times to know where this was going, but the idea of attempting to escape evaporated from his mind even as it formed. As he was brought into the bedroom the two passed by a mirror and Serathin happened to catch his reflection, seeing that his eyes had started to become tinged with the same white that had obfuscated the snow leopard.

The second that the two were close to the bed Serathin found himself pushed down onto it, his clothes being pulled off of his body as he laid there. He found no reason in his mind to stop it and as his pants were slid off of his waist he could see that his cock was already starting to firm up from the simulation. In the back of his mind he knew there was something that he should be doing but it was lost in the haze that settled into his brain as he stared up at the ceiling. Without realizing it a smile had started to grow on his muzzle as his body was flooded with pleasure as the snow leopard slid on top of him after becoming just as naked as he was.

With the hybrid pacified it didn't even phase Serathin as a much bigger ghostly tentacle emerged from the snow leopard's maw, causing Dash's muzzle to stretch open despite its translucent nature before sliding between the saber teeth of the one beneath him. With the corruption of the parasitic entity already starting to alter his thoughts the hybrid found himself opening his maw and allowing the tentacle inside, which it had already done once before when he mistook it for the snow leopard's tongue. A muffled grunt escaped from Serathin's lips as he felt something starting to get spread open as well, looking down to see that his legs were being pulled apart and the thickly-furred hips of the feline were pushing up against his thighs with his cock pointed straight at him.

Dash's eyes were a solid white by this point and with the increasing number of tentacles coiled around his limbs the snow leopard looked more like a puppet than a living creature. Even the cock of the other man was guided into the hole beneath by a tentacle that had slipped around it, Serathin's back arching slightly as he felt the head of it get pushed into him. Whatever had caused his thoughts to become so muddied had also seemed to relax his body to the point where no prep was needed, all he had to do was start to push the throbbing member inside of him as the tentacle started to do the same into his maw. The snow leopard started to lean forward and as their eyes locked the green irises of the hybrid grew cloudier by the minute, especially as the ones that were in the snow leopard's ears began to push into his and cause him to twitch.

Eventually Serathin's body started to writhe as the pleasure that he was experiencing became more unfiltered by the second with the rather large cock of the snow leopard pushing deeper inside of him while his own was trapped between their furry stomachs. His eyes had rolled back into his head by this point as the translucent creature infested his brain, causing him to twitch as the tentacles in his ears continued to push inside while the one in his maw slithered down into his throat. He was so inundated with euphoric bliss that he didn't even notice as a shimmering white orb began to push its way out of the snow leopard, briefly stretching out the feline maw before it traveled through the tentacle that connected their muzzles. As it began to slide past the saber teeth of the other creature and push into his maw however something began to shift, Serathin starting to become more aware of his surroundings as his still unblocked nostrils sniffed the air.

Smoke.

It had gone unnoticed with their rutting but even as the snow leopard continued to plunge deep into his tailhole Serathin realized that black clouds had started to rise up from the floorboards. The kitchen... as his thoughts started to coalesce he remembered that Dash had never turned off the burners before they started and with both of them enthralled neither had bothered to do so. He tried to say something but he found his throat stretched, but with the room heating up quickly it was snapping him out of it enough that he knew he had to take action. The ethereal tentacles hadn't yet slid over his body and even with the ones in his brain causing his body to relax and allow whatever parasitic seeding was happening he took his big draconic feet and brought them to the chest of the snow leopard.

With one big push he had caused the feline to fly backwards, hitting the wall before hitting the floor as Serathin let out a loud gasp from the tentacles and cock that left his body. As both Dash and Serathin struggled to their feet the hybrid could see glowing coming up from the cracks in the floor and could feel it becoming hotter by the second as smoke continued to fill the room and make it hard to see. With the parasite retracting into the snow leopard still, likely also sensing the danger, Serathin carefully crept along the floor to look down the stairs and saw that flames were already spreading into the main hallway and had started to creep up the stairs towards them. Once more the hybrid's thoughts were sharp and he went over to Dash to try and pick him up, only to see him still reeling from the possession and unable to move much more than a few steps as they both started to cough.

He was going to have to get Dash outside immediately, Serathin thought to himself as he looked to the windows that were nearby. There were two in the room and as he thought back to coming up to the house he remembered that there was a roof over the porch area and which window that would be over. He grabbed the snow leopard and practically dragged him towards it, grabbing a blanket off the bed as he did and used it to punch out the window as well as the frame. Almost immediately a blast of cold air hit them both as the smoke poured out of the new opening, though all that mattered to Serathin was getting the snow leopard and himself outside as he started to see fire trucks coming up the street.

The house groaned loudly as Serathin had to practically take the snow leopard by the feet after bracing him against the windowsill, flipping him head over heels onto the blanket that had fallen to the other side. Just as Serathin was about to do the same however he heard a loud crack and looked over to see the heavy wardrobe next to the window start to sink into the fire-weakened floor. "Ah fuck," was all Serathin could say before the floor gave out from under him, failing to catch the window as he plunged into the fires beneath...

The next second Serathin gasped loudly and nearly fell out of the chair he was sitting in, patting his body for the flames that no longer existed before his brain caught up with what happened. As soon as he remembered where he was he immediately started to breathe through his nose, recalling the training that he was given in the event of an alter death. "Well that was just fantastic..." Serathin grumbled after he had steadied his breathing and reminded himself that he was, in fact, still alive as he looked at the screen in front of him that showed the burning house of the timeline where his alter had perished. "Sorry man, didn't mean to do that to you."

After submitting the data of the timeline that was streamed to the computer he shut everything down and went over to the desk with his Chinese food, sticking his finger in one of the boxes and sighing as he felt the cold noodles within. At least they would know what was causing the commotion in that timeline, Serathin thought to himself as he shook his head before leaving the pod completely. When he left he found that night had fallen on the institute as well, which only soured his mood even more as he walked back towards his apartment with his cold takeout. Even though he had eaten in his alter form it didn't translate to the real world and he felt his stomach was growling more than ever as he finally got back and stepped inside.

Twenty minutes later Serathin sat on his couch with his bowl full of reheated noodles, watching a movie he had already seen a dozen times while he tried to unwind from his latest encounter. While he was thankful that he had managed to save Dash it meant that he was probably still going to go comatose in a few days, and unless he wanted to borrow an ABC suit to go back into that timeline he couldn't do anything about it. Since the parasite only infected one person at a time he wondered if since his alter had been chosen and then he died, or at least he thought he did since the machine kicked him out before he would experience anything close to death. It was a safety measure that kept the SHIFT personnel safe and keep them from living through the trauma that likely would come with the experience of dying, though that still didn't stop Serathin from thinking about those moments right before the floor gave out. He mostly just wondered what he could have done to save himself, though as he put the empty plate of food he found something else occupying his thoughts as he pressed a hand against his stomach.

"I knew I shouldn't have kept eating..." Serathin said with a groan as he got up from the couch and turned off the television. Since he was home alone the only thing he had on was a pair of compression shorts and as he patted the purple fur of his stomach it looked slightly distended and jiggled a bit. "Lost an alter and now a stomachache, this night just keeps on getting better."

As Serathin made his way back towards his bedroom he heard a buzzing sound and looked back to see that his phone had started to buzz once more. He had put it on the counter when he reheated his Chinese food and could see the screen from where he stood, sighing heavily when it was his supervisor texting him something about the data that he had streamed from his latest alter. It was something that he didn't want to deal with at the moment and even as his phone started to blow up with messages saying that there was something they needed to talk about the draconic sabrewolf just turned off his phone and tossed it on the couch. He was in no mood to deal with any more emergencies for the night and with his full stomach still rumbling all he wanted to do was lie in bed and attempt to get some sleep.

With the distraction turned off for the night Serathin went to his bed and laid down on the bed, not bothering to cover up as he began to feel very warm. Part of him wondered if it had something to do with the experience had just undertaken as he rubbed his hands along his arms as though to try and cool himself down. As he stared up at the ceiling he found himself not tired at all, in fact it felt like a ton of adrenaline had just been dumped into his system and it was only his stomach that caused him to remain lying down. After a few minutes of just lying there and doing nothing he sighed and attempted to sit up, only to find it much harder to lift his hips as he looked down at himself and his eyes widened.

Serathin's hands immediately went to the purple fur of his stomach as his belly continued to bulge outward, going from merely overeating to looking like he had just swallowed a beach ball as he attempted to sit up. It wasn't the only thing that had grown either as his fingers slipped down on the underside of his taut stomach and found that his erection had slipped out of his shorts and was pressed against it. He found himself panting and groaning as the skin of his stomach rippled, swelling slightly more while his cock did the same. As soon as his fingers had brushed against the sensitive flesh of his maleness he found himself stroking it while his other hand pushed against his stomach and felt his fingers sink down until it pressed up against something hard.

The draconic sabrewolf's panic increased when he could feel whatever it was that started to make him look like he was pregnant shift around inside of him when he touched it, feeling like some sort of stone or... or an egg. His mind flashed back to when the infested snow leopard had been on top of him and remembered seeing something slide into him through the tentacle that had buried itself into his muzzle, but there's no way that it could have possibly be there with him right now. The other victims also had never reported as having swollen stomachs either, which meant whatever was happening to him was a mutation of the event in that timeline. It still drew him back towards the fact that nothing can happen to him physically or mentally in another timeline, but as he stared at himself in the mirror and clutched his swollen stomach he looked into his glowing green eyes and remembered that the encounter with the Bal'Kar had tainted his soul enough to give him his new irises...

If this egg had somehow attached to his soul it meant that he had big problems, but at the moment as he staggered forward he was having trouble of thinking about anything but the pleasure that was coursing through his system as he continued to stroke his member unabated. Lewd thoughts had started to filter into his mind as all the kinky things he had encountered during his time in the SHIFT institute were brought back to stimulate him further, which were a lot as he started to pant. The draconic sabrewolf was almost overwhelmed and somewhere deep inside he could feel that it was starting to be the same for whatever was growing inside of him, making him wonder if perhaps this creature had bit off more than it could chew since it fed off of desire and passion which he had no short supply of. Suddenly the hybrid remembered that the possessing creature had latched onto something specific for the snow leopard he encountered, in this case cooking, and as Serathin continued to see vivid memories flash through his mind he could start to see that what enticed him was actually starting to mutate the egg inside of him.

Thoughts of transformation and corruption flooded his mind as he suddenly felt his stomach jiggle, causing Serathin to pause right as he got to the doorway with one hand still squeezing his thickening shaft. A loud crack echoed in his ears and he realized that the soul egg had just broken inside of him and felt power start to rush through his system. The hybrid's temperature spiked as he began to breathe harder and as he fell to his knees he saw that something was being pushed out of his mouth and nostrils. It reminded him of when he walked out into the town as his stomach began to deflate, tendrils of pure energy shifting through his body as his breath burned while it pushed out. Even as he started to breathe out smoke though all he could focus on was the pleasure that came with being transformed, transforming others, corrupting and influencing their minds or having the same done to him. It was like every dark desire he had was bubbling to the surface and he started to feel almost demonic in nature, but as his body began to shift and grow he knew that it was deeper and even more disturbing than that as he let out a deep moan.

Serathin was suddenly interrupted however as he heard the door to his apartment get kicked open, causing him to snap out of his lustful thoughts as he turned just in time to see several heavily armed security men for the institute barge in. Before he could react they fired a net gun at him and with his body still in the throes of its pleasured changes there was little that he could do as the strands wrapped around him and bound him tightly. The bindings only seemed to enhance his desire for it further and the guards found the infected hybrid writhing around as they dragged his naked body towards the door and put him into a containment pod. As soon as the door closed time within froze, and after a sweep of the rest of the place they activated the steel container that caused it to float several inches off the ground before they pushed it through the crowd of onlookers and into the nearby containment vehicle.

When Serathin's eyes opened once more he found himself staring up at a bright light in the ceiling, which caused him to groan and shield his yes with his hand before he rolled over to his side. It felt like he was in a sauna and as he looked around he saw that other than the shiny metal walls and floor there was nothing else in the room. A containment cell, he knew what it was the second that he regained his bearings and realized that there was something very serious going on if they put him there. It was a place where they quarantined SHIFT personnel that might have gotten corrupted or infected with something that traveled back with them, and as he looked down at himself he could see what warranted his stay in one.

The purple of his chest fur had turned mostly black along with his stripes, the hair singed like it was burned as his body felt... uneven, almost lopsided. When he tried to step forward he saw the blue scales of his draconic feet shift like it wasn't attached his body anymore and as he looked behind him he saw his tail was bloated with something that made it look like an overstuffed plushie. The real change that caused him to gasp slightly is when he rubbed his muzzle and felt something hard underneath his cheek, but when his fingers trailed down his snout his eyes widened more when he found something missing.

He was missing a saber tooth.

As his hands went to his mouth one of the walls suddenly turned translucent and he saw his supervisor standing there along with a few others that Serathin recognized as researchers from the institute. "Murray, thank god," Serathin said as he went up to the clear wall, only to step back when he let out a deep breath and it caused it to blacken with smoke that he had to wipe off. "What's happening to me?"

"After we had gotten you contained we went and investigated the timeline," Murray explained. "With your data we were able to figure out that all the victims were affected by a parasite that we're dubbing the succubug, and though we managed to contain the incident we tried to retrieve your alter from the burned out building and found out that there wasn't one."

"No body?" Serathin replied. "How is that possible, the machine only kicks out in the event of certain death or torture."

"We think this parasite is a soul entity, a creature that attaches itself to the very essence of the creature that it chose for its host," Murray said. "Those were the strange readings that I wanted to talk to you about; our best guess is that when the egg of the succubug was implanted into you and then the alter was engulfed in flames it triggered some sort of mutation that traveled back with you, or the fact that you have such a... unique set of passions and desires that it affected the egg instead of the fire. All we know for sure is from what we can tell the egg has already hatched and you're undergoing some sort of unexpected metamorphosis caused by the incident that's not related to the life cycle of the succubug."

"Well that's interesting and all but that really doesn't tell me anything about what's happening to me," Serathin replied, the frown on his face deepening when he saw the bull look down and shake his head. "Murray... you can fix this, right? They know how to change me back like they always do, and it isn't like I haven't had to spend some time as something else before."

As Serathin looked on the bull said nothing, but suddenly his answer was given to him as he saw a familiar figure step out from the shadows and appear next to Murray. "Sorry Serathin," the draconic sabrewolf said, the other Serathin standing there with his arms crossed. "There's no coming back from this one."

"Are you kidding me?" Serathin replied angrily, wisps of smoke rising up from his body as he looked at the green eyes of his doppleganger before flashing back to the bull. "They already initiated the Ouroboros protocol!?"

"They didn't have a choice Serathin!" Murray finally shouted back, taking a tablet and pressing it up against the glass to show the heavily fluctuating graphs next to a picture of his face. "You were already beginning to experience localize phase shifting events, and the last thing we need is another Overlord running around corrupting timelines! Your body somehow absorbed not only the fires that engulfed your alter but also the powers and abilities of this soul creature, even when you were in capsule containment you were starting to breach so that higher ups decided to let this run its course and hope to contain you here. You're terminal Serathin, and we had to protect the integrity of the timelines and this institution."

The infected draconic sabrewolf didn't know what to say, instead he angrily pounded once more against the glass and then walked away from it as he ran his hands through his mane. He had been completely cut off from his timelines... with Ouroboros protocol any SHIFTer who showed extremely instability had their own timeline looped back on themselves, which in turn meant that they couldn't access any others. Since that cut the creature off from time itself it made him functionally immortal, and he saw that they had already filled in the void left by the circumvention by creating another Serathin from the ABC vat and attaching the loosened end to him to continue on with their work.

As Serathin pulled his hands back down he heard a clattering sound and found that not only had he taken two large clumps of purple fur that burned away in his hands but he also had lost a horn in the process. That's right, he wasn't Serathin anymore, he mused to himself as he looked at the hand that had punched the wall and saw the scaly blue skin had split and revealed black fur underneath. The creature from the egg was already growing past his body's capacity to handle it, he mused as he pulled back the glove-like blue finger from his hand and saw that his finger claw was a bright blue in comparison. With how badly the draconic sabrewolf part of him was degrading it wouldn't be long until this new creature would emerge, especially as the area where his skin had split started to smoke and start to travel upwards.

With the initial shock of his confinement and the news wearing off Serathin found his lusts that had been in the background were starting to come back with a vengeance. He could feel the same sensations from when the snow leopard had been on top of him but with even more kick, like he was having sex with multiple people at once as he began to pant. As he went down with his already exposed hand to stroke his cock he could see more smoke come off of the black and silver striped flesh, but just like with the rest of his body the only thing that seemed to come from the burning was more pleasure. While he knew that there was a whole room of people watching and examining his every movement he found himself not caring, in fact there was something about it that caused a thrill to go down his spine right before he felt the muscles of his back bulge.

The sudden sensation of his shoulders rolling back and something trying to push out caused him to lose his footing slightly, and when he did he saw something push through his toes. They were talons, which were bright blue just like his finger claws and as he flexed them he watched the blue scales tear away to reveal black underneath. Just above his ankles though he saw that the fur was starting to smolder and that something equally blue and luminescent began to emerge underneath. This was it, the creature thought as he felt something start to push up against the inside of his muzzle, he was ready to be reborn as he opened his eyes to reveal a glowing blue underneath.

The transforming creature stumbled to the wall that had been translucent before and pressed up against it, grinning as he rubbed his maleness against it as the actual tip of his shaft pushed through and revealed it was also a glowing electric blue coloration. Go ahead and watch boys, he thought as a grin spread open on his deforming muzzle, stroking up and down as the fur of his old body continued to burn away. The lumps on his back grew bigger by the second as he thought of all the fun that he had back when he was Serathin; all the creatures he corrupted, all the people he transformed, all the minds that he had bent to his control, not to mention those that did the same to him. As blue liquid fire began to drip from his nostrils and mouth he could feel those urges intensify, those passions building up in him just like his new body as he snapped his muzzle shut just so he could keep the others guessing while he felt something push up into it.

"Last calls on guesses boys," the creature said through his parsed lips, though it was becoming harder to speak as it felt like he was talking through two mouths at once. "Sure you already have a pool going, I'd put my money onaaarrggghhhhh!"

The pleasure and power of the transformation was too much for Serathin to contain as the smoldering holes of his fur and scales suddenly erupted into flames, causing him to orgasm as a pair of black-feathered wings emerged from his back. The tips of the feathers glowed bright blue like a burning ember as tiny tongues of fire danced along the new appendages, joined by his draconic tail that was ripped apart and burst into flames from the new set of tail feathers. As his blue chest and black body continued to press against the window the last aspects of the draconic sabrewolf fell away, his other tooth falling to the ground and turning to ash as a shiny black beak pushed its way out and split the lupine muzzle until the last vestiges fell away from his burning body.

For a few moments the avian creature remained engulfed in blue flames, scorching the wall with his proximity, before the new phoenix man settled down enough to no longer be on fire. For a few moments as he panted tongues of fire continued to lick across his beak as a smile crossed his lips. The same fires that had burned away the body of Serathin also did the same for pesky things like his inhibitions and decency, leaving only the fires of desire, corruption, and lust in their path. It was a mindset that this creature was thoroughly enjoying as they stepped away from the wall and watched the soot fall away, the countermeasures of the room making sure that he wouldn't be able to escape as they waited.

A few days passed since the loss of SHIFTer Serathin and the installation of the Ourboros protocol, and while his replacement picked up right where the last one fell off with no problems there was still the problem of what to do with the phoenix that had been created. The entity, who had chosen to go with the name Slypher after a bit of deliberation, was a handful even with the measures of the containment protocol that had been put into place. It was clear that the succubug integration had created something they had yet to fully understand, and since it was able to affect the very soul of the one that it had infected they needed to be extremely carefully. As the days went on though the phoenix that they had in the containment cell began to show signs of distress; not only was Slypher starting to lose feathers but the blue flames that licked around them were starting to go dim and they were becoming more lethargic.

After a lot of data crunching and analysis, along with a bit of speculation, they believed they figured out what they needed to do in order to ensure this new entity's survival as well as keep everyone safe. Another day passed and Slypher was lying on the floor of his cell when they suddenly heard something open that caused their eyes to open. Though they had shifted between female and male forms several times in experimentation the phoenix had opted to be a bit of both for the time being and was too weak to shift back, one hand on their sizable breasts while the other stroked their rather large cock while retaining a more masculine build overall. As they looked around to see what was going on they saw something silver and shiny sitting next to them and a door that was in the ceiling quickly close back up.

"Put those on," Murray said as Slypher picked up one of the bracelets and looked at them. "They're special inhibitor bands, though unless you lost your memories I'm sure you already know that. If you're willing to have them on however I believe we can get you back to your full strength and determine whether or not you are safe to have outside of that room."

The bull watched as the phoenix took the offer of freedom seriously and clasped them over their wrists as those within the observation area watched, including a snake man that stood there next to him. "Are you sure this is safe?" the snake man asked. "I mean, I know I volunteered, but that's before I saw them in person."

"Relax Conrad," Murray replied as he patted the other man on the back. "As long as you're in that room and they have those inhibitor bracelets on there's nothing that can happen to you that we can't change back. From what we've recorded though it's probably going to be a somewhat intense experience, so if you don't think you can handle something like this we can get someone else."

"No no, it's fine," Conrad quickly dismissed with a wave of his hands, then looked over towards the phoenix. "I was just wondering if they had any readings on what might happen to me other than the obvious."

"Well from what we've gathered it's probably just going to take a nibble on your essence and probably have sex with you," Murray stated as he watched Slypher put on the second inhibitor band. "It may mess with your desires a bit though, but you already told us that you don't have any deep-seated desires or anything that could put you at risk, right?"

"Nothing more than what we usually get from this place," the snake man said with a sheepish grin before looking over to the containment cell. "So when do I go in?"

The bull just gestured over to the metal door that was on the side of the wall that slid open, which caused Conrad to nod and go inside. Once he was in the small corridor next to the containment cell it slammed shut and locked, followed by several more security protocols being put into place before another door between the cell and the corridor opened. The snake man quickly did what he had been told to do and made his way into the room, which allowed the second door to close as he found himself face to face with the phoenix. Though the room was warm it wasn't as hot as he had imagined and found that the other creature had perked up quite a bit upon seeing him enter.

"Well hello there big boy," Slypher said as they got up to their feet and approached the snake man. Conrad found himself backing away but soon found himself bumping up against the heated metal of the door that had closed immediately behind him. "So you're the one who is brave enough to come and visit me, this should be fun."

"I guess so," Conrad replied as he fiddled with the neckline of his t-shirt. "So, I'm here to help, what do you need-" the snakeman was cut short as Slypher's wings arched forward and brushed up against the man, causing his clothes to become alight in blue flames that quickly engulfed them and left him standing there completely naked.

"Told him that he should go in naked,' the bull behind the glass stated as he watched the phoenix start to press up against the man, leaning forward and kissing the serpentine snout with their beak as he turned towards one of the analysts at the computer system. "What do we got for readings?"

"Aside from obvious increased libido we have a bit of a spike in Conrad's theta brainwaves," the analyst replied. "We're also getting something that we can't quite measure coming from Slypher, but whatever it is seems to be stimulated the increased theta wave production. The inhibitor bracelets do seem to be working however as the fluctuations that came from the phoenix initially have stabilized."

"So it seems everything is going well," Murray stated as he sipped his coffee. "Good, keep me updated if anything changes. I don't think that we're just in for a quick hump here, not considering the source material that made that creature."

Back in the containment cell the phoenix had already managed to get their prey to turn around for them and face the observation window, the smirk on his beak widening as he got ready to show off what he was about to do. Deep down inside they could already sense what was going to happen, like the creature that had created them in the first place it knew what the snake desired... but this was deep down in the darkest recesses of his heart. But as Slypher grabbed Conrad by the hips and began to push his cock into the exposed tailhole they figured that the best creature to bring such things to light would be someone of flame.

Almost as soon as the tip pressed into the tight ring of muscle the blue fire that had wreathed itself around the phoenix began to spread to the snakeman, but other than a slight groan from being spread open it was clear that the flames did not burn. That was because they were the fires of lust and corruption, which as they burned fed into the creature that produced them. The limp feathers of the phoenix sprang to life once more as they pushed deeper into the man in front of him, grabbing him by the wrists and pulling him backwards slightly not only to slide their glowing member further inside but also to have their chest and head exposed. Though the wall was opaque the bull behind it could see those glowing blue orbs stare straight at him as something began to happen to the snakeman that caused his body to start squirming in the grasp of the phoenix.

"Sir, we got a delta wave cascade!" the analyst suddenly reported. "The theta waves are being drawn into the phoenix and its creating some sort of feedback into the one he's absorbing them from. I don't understand though, is the phoenix trying to put him to sleep while feeding on him?"

"No... something far more insidious than that," Murray said as he saw the cock of the snakeman bouncing up and down as he was being thrusted into, though as it did it started to stretch and grow until it was clear that he was transforming. "I think Slypher is about to show us exactly what they're capable of..."

The snakeman let out a loud groan as he was thrusted into by the phoenix, feeling it push deep inside of him as the flames continued to spread over his scales. "Ohhhh man, my cock, it feels like it's stretching..." Conrad exclaimed, looking down to see that he had not only grown a foot in length but it was also starting to do more than just throb and just out into the air. "No way, I didn't think, it's not possible..."

"Oh, it very much is," Slypher said with a chuckle as they leaned forward and grabbed onto the head of the still-growing cock, feeling the head start to warp and shift as the snake's hips started to widen. "You didn't think I would miss that, did you? And this is just the beginning."

"No wait, it was just one time," Conrad stated as he began to pant as his body began to grow bigger, muscle starting to swell everyone on his body as he heard a hiss from down below. His cock had turned into a three-foot python and as it wiggled in the air it continued to grow, and as his body shuddered in pleasure he felt his fangs start to elongate and his chest shifting around. "What are you doing to me?"

Slypher didn't answer that, not when they began to feel something coil around his cock while still inside of the snakeman. As Conrad's tail began to whip around in the air his hips thrusted forward and something emerged from the slit that contained his first snake cock, which turned out to be a second one that immediately started to slither out as his pectorals swelled. When his body continued to mutate he looked to the observation room and pleaded for this too stop, only for his words to become garbled as his forked tongue thickened and pushed its way past his tongue. The bull on the other side continued to sip on his coffee and checked in to make sure everything was within proper levels as two more snake-heads began to push out from where Conrad would have nipples, creating them in the process as the one in his maw began to grow.

"Ohhh, aren't we becoming something," Slypher said as the flames that grew on the transforming snake man absorbed back onto their body, stroking the neck of the growing man as they felt something pushing around inside. "You should have told them that you encountered something like this before, though I bet even you thought that you weren't affected by it. Guess you were wrong, huh?"

All Conrad could do was let out groans of pleasure as several more snake cocks pushed their way out of his slit, creating a cluster that slithered over once another and caused him to tremble in pleasure. By this point Slypher had to stand on their toes to keep thrusting into the man as they saw his tail split open and several more snakes emerge, hissing and leaking a translucent goo that was also flooding out of the stretched open maw of the snake. As the scales of the growing body pushed out with more of them inside Conrad himself was becoming more monstrous by the second, though it was hard to tell as his fingers and toes began to wiggle unnaturally before more snake cocks emerged from them. By this point there were at least a dozen that had pushed their way out of Conrad's scaly slit with another half a dozen stretching his mouth to the limit, and as his eyes rolled back into his head Slypher saw something push out the softened serpentine skull before several smaller one slithered out from his nostrils and ear holes.

"I think that's enough," Murray announced through the loudspeaker, and though Slypher frowned at that he left the quivering mass of snakecocks standing there while more pushed out from every limb and hole he had. Even the tailhole of the creature had the slimy creatures slide out as soon as the phoenix pulled out, which had been causing them untold pleasure... almost as much as the transformation and corruption itself. "If you could please go up to the door Slypher we can talk more in person."

Slypher was a bit surprised to hear that they were getting out but didn't say anything, merely waited for the door to open while they heard the pleasure-stricken creature gurgle and hiss. In short order the phoenix was outside as he preened himself, his new feathers growing in and his body shining luminously with blue fire as he looked at Murray. "So what's this all about?" Slypher asked with a coy grin. "Did you want to give me a taste of your soul too?"

"No," Murray replied bluntly, which caused the phoenix to scoff and let out a huff of fire. "But you've shown that the inhibitor bracelets work and we don't have the resources for you to stay here in captivity, though I'm sure once footage of this gets out you'd have no short order of volunteers. But we believe that we may have something that could use a creature of your... unique talents, and if you're willing to sign back on with the SHIFT institute we believe that we could enter into a very mutually beneficial situation."

An eyebrow of the phoenix went up as Slypher was handed a tablet, scrolling through it while his eyes darted back and forth until they reached the end where their beak opened in slight surprise. "Wow, these benefits are better than when I worked as a SHIFTer," Slypher commented. "I wouldn't tell Serathin this or he might try and get in on this himself. How do you know that I can actually go dimension hopping like this contract would need though?"

"Part of the reason that we had to put you in there, if you remember, was because you were causing temporal anomalies when you had started to transform," Murray said as he took another sip of his coffee. "So what do you say Slypher, are you in or are you out?"

A smirk once more returned to Slypher's beak as they signed the pad and handed it back to the bull. "Pleasure to be working for you again boss," Slypher said as they licked their beak. "Let's go make some shit happen, yeah?"
