Procene sat and waited patiently at the train station terminal on one of the many empty benches, reading a book quietly to himself. The lizaphin's sunglasses were perched on his forehead as his sparkling blue eyes scanned from left to right and every so often a hand covered in a fingerless glove would reach up and turn the page. With every flip of paper however he would move a metal card between them, one that was made of what appeared to be stainless steel and had a strange logo emblazoned on the front. On the back of the card was specific instructions to wait for the train to come though at a little before three in the morning and to pack for two nights that were to be, quote, the 'trip of his lifetime at Sibergon Labs'. They were strange directions to be sure, especially since these stations were hardly if ever used and he would be sitting in an empty station whether it was three am or noon.

He remembered that immediately after he had gotten the card in the mail he searched for Sibergon Labs on the internet, since he had never heard of such a company before or even remembered entering a contest. Surprisingly his search bore fruit almost instantly and as he clicked through the company's website he saw that there was indeed some sort of promotion they had run and that a winner had been selected. As his curiosity caused him to continue to search he was still shocked that he had never heard of such a company before, especially as one as big as the website had touted. From what he had found it was some sort of innovation lab with a vague mission statement and the very cheesy promotional line of 'changing the world of tomorrow, today!'.

The hybrid glanced up once more at the clock that hung on the dingy white tile of the pillar and saw that it was almost three in the morning. A big part of him wondered on what train he was going to board, especially since the city still hadn't deemed them safe to travel on. There wasn't even anyone that worked in the information desk anymore, which made him the only soul on that entire platform there. He muttered to himself that he was just glad he had brought something to do in case the whole thing turned out to be a bust.

Just as the thought left his mind a sound came from the tunnel that caused his ears to perk up. He looked up from his book just in time to see a pair of lights come up from the darkness of the train tunnel that quickly grew brighter as he watched in confusion. Finally the train emerged and slowed to a stop right in front of his bench, though it was nothing he had ever seen before. Unlike most railway cars that had a typical conductor car and a long string of passenger cars behind it this one only had one passenger car with windows that were completely tinted. The construction of the entire vehicle seemed off too; normal train cars were a drab grey or natural metal color with clear windows, this one looked like it was made of copper and had an iridescent sheen like an oil slick.

Wordlessly the doors opened in front of the lizaphin, and after a few seconds he shrugged and grabbed his suitcase. "All aboard I guess," Procene said to himself as he walked onto the train car, the doors closing right behind him with a hydraulic hiss as he nearly lost his footing when the train started again. "Whoa, a little warning there next time."

"Hello there!" a cheery voice came over the speakers suddenly. "Thank you for choosing Sibergon Labs as your primary mode of transportation, and we hope you enjoy your trip. This process is completely automated and non-stop until we reach Sibergon Labs headquarters, until then please make use of all amenities that you find while we spirit you towards your destination."

"All amenities huh," Procene repeated as he had a look around the cabin car. The entire space looked like it was made for one or two people to travel comfortably in. In one corner there was a strange machine that looked like it was an alien pod from outer space, the description on the side revealed that it was called a dream capsule for an enhanced sleeping experience. On the opposite side of the pod there was a mini lounge complete with entertainment center, something that he earmarked for later. On the other side there was a dining area complete with a small bar, a booth, and a dispensary that was labeled as food replication technology. There was also a smooth, silver statue of a dragon that stood behind a bar that Procene guessed was either decoration or possibly some sort of robotic bartender.

"I didn't realize that I was about to get beamed aboard a spaceship," Procene said to himself as he looked at the menu that hung from the food processor. When he was finished he looked up and felt... slightly uneased, as though something strange had just happened that he couldn't quite put his finger on. When he finally did see it his aquamarine claws scratched his head next to his equally colored spines. "Hey... where did that robot bartender go."

Suddenly a pair of shiny silver hands clamped down on his shoulders that held him place as the lizaphin nearly jumped out of his skin before he twisted his head around. "Sorry, I can't help it, it gets me every time," the statuesque dragon chuckled. "Thank you for coming Procene, I apologize for the lateness in which I had to come and pick you up but unfortunately our method of traveling requires some rather precise time measurements. My name is Cyprus, and I am the co-owner of Sibergon Labs alongside my partner Selenis, whom you will meet later."

"You nearly scared the scales off of me," Procene replied once his heart stopped racing, where the dragon then ushered him over to the booth to talk.

"Like I said, one of the perks of being what I am is the ability to be completely still," Cyprus explained. "Plus with the way I look I can easily mimic a statue, or a 'robot bartender' as you were apt to describe me as. Oh, how inconsiderate of me, would you like to have something to eat before we continue on?"

At first Procene was about to decline but a sudden rumble in his stomach prompted him to say otherwise. After a rather short time there was a sizzling steak and mashed potatoes in front of him, as well as a glass of cola that he eagerly dug into. "Yeah, TDT can be rather strenuous on the body," Cyprus stated, which caused the lizaphin to pause mid-bite. "Even if you declined I would have insisted you had a little something in order to help your body adjust."

"Wait, what's 'TDT'?" Procene asked after he swallowed.

"Trans-dimensional travel," The metal dragon clarified, which caused the lizaphin to look at him with a mixture of confusion and anxiety. "Oh yes, that's right, we were specifically told that you wouldn't remember the nature of the prize that you had won in order to keep it a surprise. See when you won our promotion we were pleased as punch but given the isolated nature of our facility we had to bus you in special from your plane of existence. It's actually quite fascinating really..."

For the next thirty minutes Procene listened as Cyprus explained everything from quantum entanglement to pocket dimensional rifts, but when it was boiled down to him what essentially had happened to him was they had projected a space into his plane of existence, and now that projection, along with him, was being dragged back to its original point where it was actually real. The whole process made his head spin but he understood it enough to follow the entirety of the explination. "So... there was never a train, it was just something you did to put me at ease and to disguise this whole thing from other people and we're actually traveling through time and space?" Procene finally asked.

"Yep, that pretty much sums it up," Cyprus said as he took the now empty plate from the lizaphin and put it in a drawer underneath the bar. "So you're actually in what is going to be your hotel room for the next two days, well most of it anyway. In order to accommodate a train shape we had to tweak the dimensions a bit and leave out things like a complete bathroom."

Procene nodded and looked around the car while his mind still attempted to wrap around the nature of the information he was just told. "So now what do we do Cyprus?" he asked.

"Well there is quite a few games and movies over there on the entertainment center," Cyprus said as he walked back and stood in front of the other male. "Otherwise you can use the pod to sleep the rest of the way. Or if you would like we could have some more... adult fun. With our previous conversations I think I have just the thing if you don't mind."

"Well sure, show me what you got," Procene said as he stood up. Cyprus held up a finger and walked over to the couch, and as he did the lizaphin could see his skin begin to shift. The silver coloration began to warp into whites, greys, and greens that took on a very familiar pattern. Procene could feel his jaw drop slightly as he watched the dragon lose his horns and his tail flared out into a fin, new ears stretched out on his skull as a very naked double of Procene sat down on the couch.

Procene couldn't help but clap as he looked over every inch of what was essentially his own body, everything save for the eyes which were still a bright and shiny silver. "How on earth did you do that?" he asked curiously.

"Ah ah, I haven't even gotten to the best part yet." Cyprus chided before he closed his eyes and the flesh around his chest began to swell. Procene couldn't help but laugh as a pair of very full breasts appeared on Cyprus's otherwise male frame, though as they continued to grow out his body features softened considerably until he was a very feminine male with a cock that still jutted out between his legs. As Cyprus laid back however he stretched out his legs and showed the glistening slit that was between the otherwise smooth flesh. "Well what do you think?"

"I think I'm going too really like this trip," Procene smirked before he walked up and touched Cyprus's body, which was now a female herm version of himself. Had he not just seen Cyprus transform he would have assumed that what laid before him was a cute herm lizaphin, which caused him to blush when he realized that he had just thought of himself as cute.

"Well what are you waiting for there?" Cyprus asked with a grin as he waved his finned tail towards him. "Come on over here, I'm really interested in taking this new form of yours out for a spin."

Procene didn't need to be told twice as he hopped up on the couch and sidled over Cyprus' body. As he ran his hands over the other lizaphin's skin he found the texture was considerably different from his own, the scales and skin felt more like a soft metallic mesh rather than flesh. It also had far more give then his own form as Procene grabbed Cyprus' breasts and felt them yield with his touch. While he played with them a grin spread on Procene's muzzle and he slid up even further, pressing his hard member between the supple breasts and began to stroke the sensitive flesh between them. Procene and Cyrus let out a groan as he slid his tool in and out between the cleft, his head arched back and his eyes closed.

The lizaphin's head snapped back suddenly though when he felt something slick and wet wrap around the head of his cock. Procene looked down to see that Cyprus had bent his neck down and his tongue had stretched out to an unnatural length to slither all the way down to the root of his groin. "There are some perks to being made out of alien nanotech," Cyrpus managed to say as his neck began to stretch down and essentially wrap the hybrid's own muzzle around his cock.

Procene's cyan nails dug slightly into the leather as he began to get sucked on in earnest, his hips bucking forward slightly with each roll of Cyprus' neck. The skillful work of the dexterous tongue and supple feel of the herm lizaphin quickly riled Procene up to the point where he found himself pulling back. There was a look of confusion on Cyprus' face, an expression that looked strange on his familiar but feminine features, before he slowly lowered his entire body downwards. It didn't take long for Cyprus to figure out where he was going and they both grinned at each other as their similar tails waved around in the air.

"This your first time as a herm?" Procene couldn't help but ask as the tip of his cock played at the entrance to the slit between Cyprus' legs, which caused the shapeshifter to moan slightly.

"Of course not," Cyprus replied earnestly, a coy grin playing at the corner of his muzzle. "This the first time that you ever had sex with what is essentially a herm version of yourself?"

Procene was about to admit that this would be a first for him when Cyprus arched up and kissed him deep while his legs wrapped around the lizaphin's thighs. The hybrid's eyes widened in surprise as a tongue that felt like his own entered his muzzle, their lips pressed together as he felt himself get pushed into the eager herm. The leather creaked under Procene's feet as his toes curled in response to the slick, hot walls that pressed against him while a prehensile cock that was the exact same shape and size as his own wiggled against his stomach. By the time the two had broken their embrace Procene was already up to the hilt inside Cyprus, his cock throbbing inside the herm lizaphin as he felt her clamp down on him which caused him to shudder.

Not to be outdone in the pleasure department Procene began to focus on Cyprus' breasts once more, kneading and squeezing her nipples as he began to slide in and out of her. Both creatures had their eyes closed in pleasure as their rutting continued; their noises, their bodies so similar to one another Procene sometimes had difficulty determining whether he was squeezing something of hers or his until he hit a particularly feminine aspect of his partner. A second set of similar hands was massaging over his entire body, and the movements grew faster and more frenzied from each party as each touch grew more sensitive while Procene buried himself deep inside her.

Finally Procene felt the release that had been building up since he had pushed inside the female lizaphin, grunting loudly as he came hard inside her. Cyprus wrapped his arms and legs around Procene's body tightly as she felt him fill her up, her own cock spurted seed between their stomachs as she came as well. When they started to come down the two lizaphin's looked at each other with a matching blissful look on their muzzles as Procene slowly pulled out and nearly collapsed on his female counterpart.

When the two finally had regained their energy enough to separate from one another Cyprus shifted off the spent lizaphin and shifted back into his normal form, a shiny silver dragon now sat where the female herm version of himself had been only moments ago. "I have to say I think you're going to enjoy your weekend here." Cyprus conferred as he grabbed the remote of the table. "But for now we still have quite a few hours until your arrival, would you like to play some games before you go to bed for the night?"

Procene nodded and was surprised when he was handed no controller, which Cyprus explained that the game system was controlled by his thought patterns. The lizaphin found the game to be very entertaining, but it wasn't too long that he had begun to feel fatigued from it. Whether it was partly due to how late he had stayed up or the nature of the game he told Cyprus that he wanted to retire for the night, and the dragon nodded before he stood up and opened the sleep pod to help him inside. When the hybrid got in it felt like he had just entered a tanning bed except with comfy cushions instead of lights, and no sooner had the lid closed on him and plunged him into darkness did he fall asleep.

Day 1:

Procene heard a loud beep as his eyes snapped open, the darkness around him slowly faded away as the interior of the pod glowed. It was a much more welcome adjustment to having harsh light and a sudden brightness that turning on most lights brought, and as he felt the last of the sleep leave his body he heard a hiss and the lid of the pod slowly drifted upwards. Once he had enough clearance to leave the lizaphin slid out of the pod and onto the floor, stretching his body before he started to move. The smell of orange juice and other breakfast foods filled the air and when he went over to the dining area of his room, which had grown considerably since it had disguised itself as a train, and when he sat down to eat he noticed an identification card with his name on it and a tablet computer next to the plate.

"Procene: Guest of Sibergon Labs," Procene read from the card while he took a long drink of the juice. "Unfettered access to all levels of the plant, please answer all questions and help when necessary." The hybrid grinned a little at his newfound access and turned his attention instead to the tablet. As soon as he pressed his finger against it the screen lit up with words welcoming him specifically to Sibergon Labs, followed by a map of the entire facility. The first thing he noticed was how big it was, the building was more like an entire campus as he scrolled through the various facilities, and the second was despite how extremely classified everything looked he was able to freely pull up information and look at it.

"This is either the worst security ever or they gave me full clearance over their server as well," Procene guessed after he had finished both his search and his breakfast. Once he did he found his outfit, which had been cleaned and laid out for him, he put it on before he ventured out of his room.

Despite what he had been told he half-expected to walk out onto a busy train station or something like that, but instead he found himself looking out into a nice hallway. The map that he had been given informed him that he was on the executive level of Sibergon Lab's living quarters, a place normally reserved for high-ranking guests such as other CEO's or political figures. With the Identification card hanging just below his pendant he walked over to the brass doors of the elevator at the end of the hallway. There was only one button that pointed down, but before he could push it there was a ding and the doors slid open to reveal a handsome Siberian Tiger man in a business suit.

"Ah Procene, right on time," the Siberian Tiger said as he motioned for the lizaphin to step inside. "My name is Selenis and I am the co-founder of Sibergon Labs. Cyprus has told me so much about you already I thought that I would come and meet you in person for the first day of your weekend here. I trust that you had a pleasant trip?"

There was a hint of a smirk on the tiger's lips as Procene felt himself blush and grin sheepishly while he nodded. The conversation then moved on to where the lizaphin would like to explore since the complex was rather vast. Procene brought the map up on the tablet and showed him a few areas that he had highlighted, and more specifically one of the larger areas near the back of the facility. When he showed the tiger that one his eyes lit up slightly and he gave him a small nod of approval.

"That is an excellent choice, and as luck would have it I happen to be going there as well," Selenis informed him as the elevator door opened. "Why don't we walk together and I can answer any questions that you may have about our fine facility."

"That is very kind of you," Procene replied while they walked. "I don't want to take up your precious time, but I do have to ask about the train ride here and was hoping you could expound a little bit on how you guys managed to have such advanced technology that you can have trans-dimensional capability."

"Mmmm you are a curious one," Selenis stated as his grin grew even wider. "I like that. Well I have to say that this company didn't start out that way, and wasn't started by myself or Cyprus. We both used to be employees here in fact, but after having a breakthrough with alien nanotech that changed the two of us for the better we decided to perform a... hostile takeover of this company. After that it was all a matter of continuing to integrate the alien technology into both products and people, and after extensive testing of all manner of things we found ourselves able to break the dimensional shackles that bound us here and were able to visit other worlds."

"So you guys are able to visit and explore completely different realities from here?" Procene asked in amazement.

"Oh yes, you can't imagine the knowledge we learned from other planes of existence," Selenis gushed, Procene having to take his eyes off the tiger for a few seconds to slide his card through the security gate that led deeper into the lab. "Plus we were able to establish off-dimension laboratories where we could do some of our most dangerous testing without any fear of harming the public in this realm. You should have seen the grant money come in after that, though Cyprus and I do it for the testing, not the money."

Procene wondered what exactly Selenis meant when he had to specify that they didn't harm the public in this realm when his thoughts were interrupted by the feline's prompt to move forward. They had cleared more distance then the lizaphin had realized as he walked up to the wall-length window and looked outside to see what had drawn him to the area in the first place. Beyond the thick glass was a huge werehouse-sized space with all manner of robotics inside it, everything from human shaped constructs to huge mechas were there and most of them had furs in white lab coats that buzzed around them.

The two had to walk around another corner before they found the doors to enter, the words 'robotics testing facility' plastered on the top as Procene slid his key card through the reader and the light flashed with a bright green. No sooner had the door unlocked then the lizaphin walked through it to the other side as the loud mechanical noises that had been blocked by the barrier suddenly washed over him. Selenis walked in behind him as the door closed and the two were almost immediately greeted by a red-scaled dragon that shook Procene's hand.

"You must be Procene," the dragon introduced. "My name is Dr. Arcov Sirato, I am the head of the robotics department here at Sibergon Labs. I'm very happy that you've decided to come here, we have a lot of really great innovations that I would be more than happy to show you."

"We picked up Dr. Sirato when we set up a facility on his planet," Selenis informed Procene while they walked down the warehouse. "That was when he and several others were responsible for that living metal augmentation that turned, what, half the population into cybernetic creatures?"

"Half the population?" Procene repeated in surprise. "I'm surprised you took him on after something like that."

"Actually that's how I got to be the head of robotics here." Dr. Sirato clarified as they reached the end of the warehouse where several other researchers worked on a full body suit that gleamed of polished chrome. "Speaking of living metal, what we got right here is a prototype that has been based off that design. Don't worry, we worked out all the kinks and made sure that the transformation is only temporary."

Despite the inherent danger that seemed to run with such a device Procene felt excited to try out the piece of experimental tech. "So what does it do?" he asked.

"We like to call it a 'portable power armor'," Sirato explained as he took one of the gauntlets off and handed it to Procene, the metal beneath his fingertips remarkably light despite the look of it. "Instead of having to haul a big suit of heavy metal to the battlefield or having to wear it and hope you have enough power to make it there, you can ship a steamer truck full of these bad boys to the front line. The pilot then just has to put on the pieces, activate it, and boom, instant assault mech. Today you will be testing our dragon model, is that alright with you?"

Procene couldn't nod fast enough and he was brought over to a changing room where he was given a latex undersuit to put on. The lizaphin looked it over for a few seconds before he stripped down and slid it over his legs, and despite the smallness of the suit it stretched easily to accommodate his form and glided over his scaled skin. When he got it up past the neck he looked at the hood and wondered if it would cramp his ears, but when he slid the thin rubber over his head he found it contoured to his head like a glove. Only his muzzle and eyes were exposed as he exited the dressing room and was escorted up to a circular platform that was a few feet off the ground.

"We have a test course for you to get the basics down," Dr. Sirato explained as two other researchers wheeled out a metal trunk that opened to shiny chrome parts that were laid out like a set of armor. "Now the parts will fuse to the bodysuit once we put them on, but they won't activate the transformation until you say so, a little safety measure after our last incident. Then once you get acclimated I'll arrange for a little demonstration of the suit's full capabilities. Have fun!"

Procene stuck up his arms and let the technicians place the gauntlets over his hands, and the second the tips of his fingertips pressed against the cool metal he felt the latex he wore begin to weave into the metal. His skin tingled as he moved his fingers experimentally and touched the clawed tips to one another, feeling the smooth surface as though it was his own skin that he brushed against. The dragon could see the wonder in Procene's eyes and while they attached more plates to his upper arms and shoulders he explained in great detail how the latex bonded with the metal and translated the vibrations in the metal to tactile sensations that the brain could interpret as touch.

"The best part is that is has an on-board AI with tolerance dampening," Dr. Sirato continued to explain as back and chest plates were attached to him, which caused Procene to shudder slightly when he could feel through them. "So if you were to get shot and damage the armor it wouldn't translate that pain, just make you aware of the damage. Of course that doesn't help if something pierces through the metal or you have the misfortune of getting a limb blown off, though it may feel like you've become completely mechanized your core is still flesh and blood and the suit has its limits."

The last part made the lizaphin shudder slightly at the thought, though any ill notions were quickly disrupted when the researchers told Procene to lift his feet up. He was so keen on listening to the robotics researcher talk that he hadn't noticed the others had already secured more plates on his tail, legs, and thighs, which only left his feet. The only pieces left were a pair of very large chrome boots that were modeled to look like large dragon feet and a large set of wings. Once he had put his latex-clad feet in them an entirely different feeling accompanied the usual tingle, sensing strange energy that spread throughout his soles and all the way up to where the lip of the metal boots had meshed with the bodysuit halfway up his shins. He was informed that was likely because of the boosters that were housed within it, though they were essentially plates on the bottom of his feet to provide propulsion.

"Now the last part is going to be wings," Dr. Sirato explained. "This is going to be probably the strangest sensation since you are originally a wingless creature, but give your brain a second to adjust to the sensations first and then give them a move with the AI assist."

Procene nodded and took a deep breath as the two technicians hoisted the wings up and set them onto the slots on his back. The second the hybrid felt the metal touch the latex on his skin he could feel his upper back and shoulder muscles flex and twitch responsively. It was the strangest sensation he had ever felt before but after a few minutes the cybernetic wings felt just like they were actually a part of his body since birth. With a little adjustment he actually found himself able to move him, though it was awkward, clumsy movements at best.

Dr. Sirato clapped his hands, then asked Procene to move around a bit. The lizaphin was surprised to find that he could take steps almost as easily as he could without the armor, although it was slightly clumsy with the boots and the wings on. After he had walked around for a few minutes the dragon asked him to return back to the center platform. Procene saw that the head researcher had one last item for him to put on; a metal helmet styled in the shape of a dragon complete with visor. Once he had been explained how to activate it the head researcher gave it to him.

Procene gave one last look at the helmet and the rather unremarkable interior of the inside before he slipped it on. Once again the rubber fused to the metal and the tingling sensation of his entire body intensified, but other than that he still felt like he merely wore an armored bodysuit complete with helmet. He took another minute to ready himself, unsure of what was about to happen to him once he said the activation password. But he knew what he was there for, and after another deep breath he said the activation password out loud.

The effect was instantaneous; the tingling sensation he had felt through his entire body intensified ten-fold as the shiny metal plates suddenly seemed to come alive. The tendrils of chrome expanded over the latex parts of the bodysuit and continued to grow outwards until they quickly covered the entirety of the exposed latex before it thickened. There was a dull thud as his legs and arms lengthened unnaturally, and though he didn't feel his actual body change he could feel every shift in the metal as his hands and feet grew outwards. The strangest thing that happened though was the helmet as it seemed to grow sentience and clamp it's faux jaws over his own muscle, making him feel like he had just gotten eaten before he felt a similar tactile sensation sweep over his face and get transferred to the outer shell around him.

When the mech suit had finished its transformation a nearly eight foot tall armored dragon stood where a lizaphin had been only a half a minute before. The two researchers that had helped him quickly darted off the platform as a long metal tail swept the area behind Procene as he looked at himself in amazement. "Doc, this is unbelievable!" Procene exclaimed, slightly shocked at the digitized voice that came out of the suit as the dragon's mouth moved in perfect sync. "If I would have woken up like this I would have assumed I had become a giant metal dragon monster... which would have probably been terrifying the more I think about it, thanks for not doing that."

"Quite welcome," Dr. Sirato said as he pushed a button on the platform that caused the back wall of the warehouse to begin to open. "Now we have our training grounds a little ways out, location should be marked on your HUD. It's a completely destroyable environment so feel free to go nuts, especially since that suit of yours is nearly-"

The scientist wasn't even able to finish his sentence as the robotic dragon continued to experimentally flap his wings a few times, then his huge paw pads began to glow and a few seconds later Procene rocketed out of the warehouse. "-indestructible," Dr. Sirato finished as Selenis walked up next to him with a chuckle. "So what now sir, do we just let him have a run of the training grounds?"

"Oh Doctor, what would be the fun in that?" The tiger replied as his smirk grew even wider. "Such a thing is always far more enjoyable with a friend. Get your protégé and tell her to suit up, this will be the perfect opportunity to get some practice in and entertain our guest at the same time."

Meanwhile Procene streaked through the sky as he let out a wild whoop of excitement, using a combination of his synthetic wings and rocket feet to zip around the sky. He was surprised at the lack of a learning curve the suit seemed to have; it was as though all he had to do was wonder what he needed to do and almost instantly he knew how to do it. The suit itself reacted as though it was his own body and the lizaphin found himself getting up as far as he could before he let himself freefall back down towards the earth. The sensation of wind against his 'skin' was exhilarating and he could have spent the whole day doing that, at least until his computer beeped that he had arrived at the training grounds the dragon talked about.

The whole thing was a mock city that spanned over ten square city blocks, complete with a hundred story skyscraper that Procene measured by flying straight up the outside of it. It even moved with realistic traffic, the only thing that it was missing was the people themselves as he used his newfound agility to wind his way between the tall buildings. As he flew over a building there was a blinking light that seemed to ping against his suit's radar, which was something that roused his curiosity enough to fly down towards it. The asphalt crunched under his feet as he landed in front of the crate the light was attached to and opened it up.

"Ohhh nice," Procene nearly giggled as he picked up a multi-rocket launcher that would have crushed him in his old form but he could now easily hold up with one hand. "Oh we're going to have fun with this one." No sooner did he secure the ammo feeder pack attached to the gun then he was back up in the air, only this time he was now fully armed as he looked around for a target to hit. "Let's see... something small to start."

The computer in his helmet seemed to sync with the gun itself as he aimed for a newspaper stand on the corner of one of the streets. When he was locked in he fired and felt the heat of the launcher on his back as a rocket streaked towards the unsuspecting stand and left a trail of white smoke in its wake. Procene lifted his arms in excitement as the explosive connected and sent a shockwave through that shattered concrete and glass of the nearby building. Cars also seemed to react to the fireball, crashing into one another as fiery chunks of wood and other debris rained down on the street. Once the scene settled down Procene flew in to survey the destruction and as he looked at the ruins of the newspaper stand he noticed something peculiar.

"Huh, I was wondering how they cleaned up the mess," Procene said to himself as he watched his chaos begin to unravel, the cars had already started to repair themselves until they began to move down the street once more while glass and wood slowly began to reconnect to one another and coalesce to their home points. As he knelt down to watch a burnt magazine reassemble itself and lose its charred edges a shadow suddenly fell over him that prompted him to turn around. His metal eyelids clicked loudly as he saw what had caused the sudden darkness, a minivan was in mid-air and quickly spun towards his location. The lizaphin activated his suit's thrusters and dashed up into the air as the van hit the spot he had been standing on only moments ago, the sound of crushed metal and broken glass filled the air as he looked around for the source of the music.

"Looking for me big boy?" A digitized voice similar to his own but with a feminine tone to it said as he spotted the metallic gold dragon that hovered nearly an entire football field length away from him with its tail wrapped around a taxi cab that dangled beneath her.

"You threw a car at me," Procene shot back as he eased the rocket launcher to have it point closer to her direction.

"Had to get your attention somehow," the female robotic dragon said with a laugh. "When Dr. Sirato said that I had someone I could play with I couldn't suit fast enough, hopefully you provide me with a little bit of a challenge. Shall we dance?"

Before Procene could even respond the golden tail snapped around itself like a whip and flung the taxi cab straight at him, which he blew up with a well-placed shot from his rocket launcher. As the flaming wreckage raced down towards the street he realized that it had been a distraction as a glimmering gold blur raced through the flames straight at him. Once again he dodged her attack, but before he could turn himself around completely he felt something that wrapped around his ankle and threw him down into the street. For what would surely not be the only time the lizaphin was happy that there was no pain sensations as he skidded down the road and felt several cars get crushed underneath him along the way.

Procene quickly stood up and shook the dust and car parts of his chrome body before he looked up at the gold dragon, who sneered down at him and the furrow he had created in the road. His mind raced as he tried to think of how he could outsmart the more experienced pilot, and as it looked like she was about to charge him again he did the first thing he could think of and boosted down one of the nearby streets away from her. Thankfully their suits seemed to be equally matched on speed, which bought the lizaphin time to think as the gold dragon gave chase. Part of him really wanted to take a shot with his rocket launcher but he knew if he took the time to slow down he would be a sitting duck for the other dragon when he tried to aim, which meant he needed a distraction first.

When he found something that he thought would work Procene turned the corner and led his hunter around the block, returning to the exact spot that he would make his attack. He hoped that he would get the needed effect as he flew over a gas station and turned his booster paws to max to lift him straight up. Without even seeing if the other metal dragon had followed him he fired several rockets in succession down past the golden dragon and into the pumps. The second the first rocket hit its target Procene could feel the shockwave from the subsequent explosion of the gas station through his entire body as it pushed him off course and into a nearby skyscraper. The female dragon, who had been even closer to the fireball that now consumed the entire area, had gotten hit so hard her body slammed into a nearby apartment complex and left a gaping hole in the side of the building.

Once Procene had gotten himself back on track he flew down towards the hole and looked inside, though all he could see was a trail of destruction where the gold dragon had smashed into it that slowly faded into black. "Hey, are you alright?" the lizaphin asked as he slowly hovered closer to the semi-wrecked building. "Hello? Hey Goldie, you still alive?"

Suddenly the chrome dragon floated backwards a little as a pair of bright blue orbs appeared in the blackness. "My name is Ferrai," she stated before she rocketed out of building and straight into Procene's gut. There was the loud crunch of metal on metal, followed quickly by metal on stone as he got plowed through several large buildings by the other dragon. After the third one they passed through Ferrai gave Procene one last push and put his body halfway through a fourth structure before he finally came to rest on a pile of destroyed office furniture.

"A bit of an over-reaction, don't you-" Procene's words were cut short as he saw Ferrai hover in front of the tunnel he had now made in the side of the building, except instead of his presence being there out of concern hers was to aim the rocket launcher he had previously possessed straight at him. The lizaphin felt his adrenaline skyrocket and he fired his booster paws to launch him upwards, putting out his clawed hands to punch through just as Ferrai fired the first rocket straight at him. He could feel the building shudder around him as the floor beneath him exploded, which was quickly proceeded by a second one as he busted his way through the top of the building.

When he reached the roof the entire thing was ready to collapse, but before he sped away he noticed a weapon crate that had been perched on top of it. The lizaphin could feel the ground begin to give way beneath him as he used his augmented strength to dash towards the container in record time and rip the cover right off the hinges. He hardly had time to secure the contents before the building and the container fell out from under him, which raised a large plume of dust that he took advantage of to escape the sight of the gold dragon temporarily as he disappeared into the shadows of the buildings themselves.

"Proceneeee..." Ferrai called out as she slowly glided between the skyscrapers, looking around for any sign of the other dragon armor. "Come on out Procene, this isn't hide and seek."

"Up here!" Procene called out from the rooftop that he had managed to fly up, the gold dragon's cybernetic eyes glowing brightly as it identified the minigun that he clutched in his hands. The rotating barrel quickly spun up as Ferrai boosted her way down the street, though Procene's suit muzzle curled up in a smile as he continued to see the crosshairs of his weapon remained locked onto her. He quickly flew after her, bullets flying out of his weapon and streaking across the sky at her like a glowing rain, and though she was still very quick even her piloting couldn't dodge all of them. An indicator lit up in Procene's HUD every time a bullet hit his target as the two flew towards the building spire in the center of the map.

Windows began to shadder as Ferrai flew close to the reflective surface of the skyscraper, which with the glint of the sun and the reflection she casted caused Procene and his targeting computer to lose track of where she was, though that didn't stop the lizaphin from continuing to fire even when she circled back and came straight at him. Procene had to drop the heavy weapon and boost upwards to avoid the charge, and when he did the golden dragoness quickly turned and fired every rocket she had at him. Thankfully he already had momentum from the dodge and managed to evade all of them, hearing them explode against the skyscraper behind him as she tossed the empty launcher down.

"So what was all that about?" Procene asked as they hovered there, the dragoness crossing her arms with a smirk. "You could have waited a minute and actually aimed those rockets at me."

"Just returning the favor," Ferrai replied simply. Procene tilted his head in confusion until he heard the sound of glass breaking and metal groaning from behind him. He looked through his rear-view camera but already knew the source of it, the extremely tall building that he was flying near had started to tilt in his direction as a result of the battle damage from their weapons. When he flicked back to his front cameras he saw that Ferrai had already taken off down the street and out of range from the collapsing building.

Procene activated his own boost pads and flew as fast as he could from the falling skyscraper, more glass breaking as furniture rained down from the windows towards him as he was forced to fly lower and lower until he practically skimmed the cars that were on the street. He forced his systems to the max as the surrounding landscape was crushed around him and everything grew dark from the shadow of the collapsing building. Warning alarms went off on his HUD that warned him of the impending collision as he saw the light between street and skyscraper roof grow smaller and smaller...

A few minutes later Ferrai landed in the wreckage surrounded by the cloud of smoke and dust that covered the entirety of the training grounds. Her gold dragon power armor seemed to idly walk around the debris field for a bit before she knelt down and pulled a particularly large slab of concrete up with ease and tossed it aside. She repeated the process several more times before the glint of chrome could be seen moving underneath and then took the hand that reached up and pulled the other armored creature out from the pile of debris. Procene struggled to get to his feet but once he got his bearing he shook the dust off of him as best he could, though the metal plates continued to remain undamaged even after having a building fall on it.

"Alright, I think you won that one," Procene admitted as the metallic gold dragon smiled at him.

"You put up a good fight for your first time," Ferrai replied. "Now while we were busy fishing you out of that headquarters called and told us to come in for lunch, so let's get going." Procene nodded and the two flew off back towards Sibergon Labs as the destroyed cityscape behind them began to pull itself together.

Half an hour later Procene was back in his normal clothes and felt fully like a lizaphin once more as he, Selenis, Dr. Sirato, and Ferrai all talked over several pizzas that had been brought in for lunch. With their suits back in their respective trunks Procene saw Ferrai for the first time and she turned out to be a tigress underneath all the gold dragon armor. They had gone to separate areas to change but was glad to see that she had come back to eat with them. As they ate Procene found out that Ferrai had been with the draconic researcher since they were on their original planet and that she had been one of the first robotized by Sirato's creation but had managed to get cured of it before they were transferred to the primary Sibergon Labs facility.

"I still find it crazy that you possibly turned a whole planet into cybercreatures and you get promoted," Procene repeated once he finished his third slice. "No offense, but most people get thrown in prison or something for doing that."

"Well to be honest I was in a bit of hot water for a while there," Sirato explained. "The thing is that while I was responsible for the means of the outbreak, it was actually a series of unfortunate incidences that involved security personnel that caused the virus to get released to the general public. Not to mention that all my potential indiscretions were overlooked when I was able to give them a working, stable, reversible prototype of my invention to them."

Procene's mouth hung open slightly at that in awe. "No way," he exclaimed, which caused the other researchers to grin and nod. "You guys seriously have a way to turn a person into a robot through a viral infection?"

"Of course," Dr. Sirato confirmed before he looked at Ferrai. "In fact, I think we just found what we can do with our dear guest for the rest of the day if you're up for it." The tiger nodded and grinned at Procene as the dragon continued on. "Our dear tigress here actually still has a variant of the virus that comes active when she is completely submerged. All I have to do is request a little time in the aquatic environment tank and you can see for yourself."

"What a wonderful idea," Selenis spoke up. "You three go on ahead, I'll have your authorization when you get there."

Procene couldn't believe what he was about to do as the three stood up and began to walk out of the robotics testing facility and back into the campus building. He had just jetted around and blew things up in a robot, but now he was about to become one? It was something that caused his body to tingle in anticipation as they got on a tram and transported to an entirely different building on the grounds. When they got there the lizaphin could feel the vast amount of water contained within, the sign above the door they went through read 'aquatic research and development' in big blue letters as they moved quickly and purposefully to their destination.

"Welcome to the closest thing you'll find to the ocean," Dr. Sirato bragged as the smell of saltwater hit Procene's nose when they entered an extremely large space dominated by a fifteen foot high tank with clear glass walls. The amount of space could have easily accommodated twenty-five to thirty creatures and the bottom of it was modeled to look like a typical ocean floor. As they reached the stairs to the platform on the lip of a tank several men and women in lab coats followed, followed by one humanoid creature that was hard to distinguish because it looked like it was made out of clear goo.

"There we are, all cleared out for our little demonstration," Selenis announced as he rejoined their group. "Ferrai, Sirato, why don't we leave our dear guest down here for now so he can see your work in action?"

The three walked up the platform as Procene moved to the glass walls that separated him from gallons upon gallons of water. Even with his hydromancy he had a hard time connecting with it, which made him wonder just how thick or otherwise protected those walls were. A cry from above made him turn his head up just in time to see the tigress strip the last of her clothes off before she dived into the water. Procene could feel his face flush slightly despite himself as he watched the naked feline swim effortlessly around in front of him, even giving him a wink as she passed close by one of the walls.

As Ferrai made another lap around the tank Procene began to notice changes that were happening to her body. The most obvious was her fur, which quickly fell away in clumps from her body which revealed similarly patterned metal plates underneath as her swimming grew more erratic. As she arched back something began to protrude out of her spine as well, something the lizaphin easily recognized as a dorsal fin as her face grew wider and more pointed. Procene could see the already formed gills on her neck as her feline ears flattened and were quickly coated with the shiny metal that continued to plate her entire body.

"Ah the wonders of nanotechnology," Selenis commented above Procene's head as they watched her ropy tail grow thick and muscular before the tip burst out into a fin. At first the hybrid wondered if she was in any pain, but that question was quickly answered when one of her metallic hands reached up and began to palm her breast as the other reached between her legs and began to stroke there. As she pleasured herself her hair fell away from her head, her eyes glowing bright green as they turned glassy and slitted.

"Now the reason why we cleared the pool is because in her current state she is highly 'infectious'," Dr. Sirato explained as the newly created cyber-shark continued to stare at him hungrily. "I wouldn't want her to cross-contaminate any other projects in her state, especially she is in conversion mode right now. While I would say you could dive in and see for yourself I would much rather you saw it first, but then we're going to need a volunteer."

"Too true," Selenis spoke up with a smirk as he grabbed the dragon by the lab coat and tossed him into the pool. "Thank you for volunteering." The second he sank below the surface the former tiger was on him, shredding his lab coat and under clothes as their muzzles connected in a deep kiss. Procene found himself stepping closer to the tank as the dragon tried to pull his head away, but when finally did break the embrace the metal tongue of the robotic sea creature remained lodged deep in his muzzle.

The conversion was rather quick, no sooner had Dr. Sirato managed to back away then his eyes went half-lidded as his struggles against the embrace of the female lessened dramatically. The bright red scales of the dragon's muzzle grew shiny and metallic as his exposed cock began to grow erect, which prompted the robot shark to wrap her legs around the male and impale herself on his erection. Then the dragon was being assimilated from two fronts, a wave of flesh to metal conversion webbed out from his crotch while his head had already become mostly metal. His horns disappeared completely, replaced with two large earfins and a spine fin that ran all the way down his back.

Just as the dragon's wings began to merge into the fin and the mass traveled down towards the thick tail he heard a noise and looked up to see Selenis motion towards him with two fingers. Procene nodded and ran up the stairs, though he continued to keep the assimilating shark and its dragon prey out of the corner of his eye while he reached the platform. "So now you've seen a practical demonstration of what Dr. Sirato was talking about," Selenis commented as the newly minted robotic sea dragon began to swim around freely once it had detached from the other one. "Would you like to experience it first hand?"

Procene looked back down at the large tank and the two robotic predators that swam within it, then nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, this looks like it's going to at least be interesting," he stated with excitement in his voice. The tiger allowed him to get his clothes off and set aside, save for his pendant which he was assured would not come to harm. Once he stood there completely naked Selenis gave him the nod to go ahead and after only a moment of hesitation he dove in head first into deep pool.

The lizaphin took to the water naturally, swimming around in smooth, even strokes as he looked around for the other two denizens of the tank. It didn't take long; he had managed to make it close to the wall of the tank when he felt something strong and metallic grab him by the ankle and drag him down towards the bottom. He looked down and saw the sea dragon with its purple glowing eyes and decided to have a bit of fun with his would-be captor, his eyes glowing with blue light as he used his hydromancy he created a current that ripped the creature off of him and away as his robotic eyes widened in surprise from the sudden surge. But before he could gloat he felt a second creature wrap its arms around him and he turned back to see Ferrai behind him.

With his attention distracted the dragon broke free of the current and swam up to the two as the cyber shark flipped him around in the water until they were face to face. There was a knowing smirk on the robot's muzzle, which Procene replied with a sheepish smile, before it leaned in for a kiss while one of her hands grabbed the lizaphin by the wrist and rested it on her breast. He was amazed at how soft it felt despite the metal he knew it was made out of, but as he continued to play with it his mouth opened slightly in surprise when metal filaments began to spread out over his palm and onto his fingers. The shark had waited for that reaction and pushed her tongue past his lips, which immediately went numb as it quickly extended down into his throat.

Even though he wanted this he decided to thrash around a bit and try to escape, but any notion of that was quickly stopped when the dragon swam up behind him and wrapped his arms around the hybrid's waist, feeling something prod underneath his tail as his own erect length was being teased between the shark robot's legs. The sea dragon's tongue wrapped around Procene's muzzle and joined Ferrai's as they timed it perfectly, his cock pushed into Ferrai's snatch at the same time Dr. Sirato slid his synthetic member underneath his tail. Procene knew as he moaned that his body would not last long in its natural state, especially since both hands were now completely assimilated into webbed fingers while more metal tendrils slipped out of his mouth, nose, and ears to do the same. Below him his cock had been transformed near instantaneously, turning shiny and chrome as the transformation spread from his thighs outwards like wildfire.

As Procene's eyes began to glow with a cyan hue and his body went limp as it was sandwich between the other two robotic creatures that grew into a steady rhythm he could begin to hear... voices. Though they were a bit distorted he knew them to be Ferrai and Dr. Sirato's, and they continued to chant the same thing in his mind in the same synchronized fashion as their thrusts into him as his body turned completely synthetic.

Hunt, assimilate, breed... soon his own mental voice joined them as he regained feeling in his enhanced form. Though not much had changed on his already aquatic body structure he could feel the power that his new form possessed, and that though they were in the water now they could easily go on land and find prey there as well. His mechanical fingers flexed as they resumed their ministrations on Ferrai's breasts, though one hand reached back at a normally impossible angle and rubbed the pectorals and chest of the dragon behind him. His own metal tongue wrapped around theirs as the three cybernetic creatures continued to breed one another, at least until two more splashes caused them to stop suddenly and turn their heads up as Procene immediately felt his new hunter instincts kick in...
