#2 of Always Check the Packing Slip

A chimera learns the hard way to make sure to check that the package you receive really is yours, because you never know what you might accidentally get in the mail.

Part 2 of 4

Part of a trade with LuxVolans

Edited by Texotic


Velan paced up and down the room while Lux and Darian sat on the couch, none of them looking at each other after the chaos chimera had explained everything that had happened after he left for coffee. On the countertop was the metal thermos that had arrived in the mail, now covered with several layers of packing tape that they luckily had in one of their junk drawers. "We need to find a way to quietly get this inspected," the jackal said as he looked down at the silver metal. "Although if what you said is true, then at any time one... or both of you..."

"...could suddenly sprout vines and start growing over the walls as we have sex with each other or someone else," Lux finished as he sat back on the couch and looked at his hands. "I swear now that I'm aware of them I think I can feel them growing inside of me, though I wonder why those wolves and your roommate converted so quickly while we're still... relatively normal."

All three of them looked down at the sweatpants Lux wore, the front of which continued to twitch occasionally. "I think I was spared because we didn't actually finish," Darian stated with a sigh. "Though that doesn't mean anything, I'm a bit rusty when it comes to strange, alien, rubber plant creatures."

As the three sat there they suddenly heard the loud blare of police sirens coming down their street, followed by ambulances and fire trucks. The three of them quickly scrambled towards the windows as the vehicles flew past their building and towards the one that Lux and Darian had just left before. "Looks like the secret's out," Velan said as he walked back towards the coffee table and grabbed the sealed thermos. "If we're going to do this and help you guys out, then we got to do it quick."

"Where do you think you're going with that?" Lux asked while the jackal walked to the door.

"I think it's best we split this up," Velan replied, grabbing his coat and hiding the container inside of it. "I'll try to find a place that might give us an answer on these things, you guys go out and try and find a hospital or something that'll help you. If we're together and you guys change it might be over for us, so keep your phones on you and give a call if you need any help. Now... I suggest we all get out of here before the police shut down the whole neighborhood after what they find there."

The other two nodded, and a few minutes after Velan left, they walked out of the apartment in turn, then out of the building via the back entrance, away from the affected street. "So now what do we do?" Darian asked once they had cleared the area. "Honestly with your boyfriend hunting down someone to test the spores and the way you draw people in like a moth to flame, perhaps it would be best if we just lie low for now."

"I think we need to press on," Lux replied. "Even though we're being vigilant now, who knows what might happen if we decide to rest on our laurels? As long as we avoid groups of people we'll be fine, just stick close to me and hope there's some sort of experimental research hospital we've never heard of."

As the two continued to walk, not wanting to risk an enclosed space like a bus or subway, they felt more at ease about their predicament the further they got from the building. The infected apartment building that was about to go under quarantine seemed like a distant memory to them as their panicked walk grew smoother and more natural. After a while Lux stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and looked around, a dazed look on his face as he scratched his head. He remembered he was supposed to do... something... that Velan told him to do...

Just as he was about to pull out his phone to call the jackal, Darian pointed to something and nearly ran over to it, the chimera trailing behind before he saw what it was, as well. It was a poster for a sale on electronics, including a new system that he'd had his eye on for a few months now. Something in his brain clicked and he realized that this was the reason why he and his friend had gone out, especially since she told him that he had been looking at getting a new phone for a while now. Once the feeling of unease that they had both felt for a while dissipated with their remembering, they walked into the store in order to find what they were looking for.

With it still being somewhat early in the morning there weren't many patrons in the store, which didn't matter much to Lux as he made his way towards the gaming aisle. As he looked up and down for what he was looking for, he once again became confused on why he was there, realizing that he was going to wait for the price drop before he bought that particular console. But if that was the case, then why was he here with Darian? Was it just to get a phone for her, and if that was the case, then why wasn't Velan with them?

His confused look at he stood there seemed to attract attention as he looked up to suddenly see someone next to him that had the telltale blue shirt of a store employee. "Something I can help you with today, sir?" the red-scaled dragon said with a smile on his muzzle. "My name is Clive, and I happen to have one of those consoles, myself! If you need to know anything about it, I'd be happy to tell you about them."

"No thanks..." the chaos chimera replied as he looked back down at the video game system. The clerk's introduction had completely destroyed his train of thought, and even as he tried to remember what he was thinking about, the information disappeared like vapor in the air. After his momentary frustration at the loss, he looked up again to see the clerk was still standing there. Just as Lux was about to ask if he was okay, he noticed that the other male's pupils were completely dilated and there was a noticeable tent in his khakis.

"Perhaps you would like to see a demonstration of the system in action?" the dragon asked as he gestured towards the back. "We don't have a floor model on display, but I would be happy to take you to the break room where we have one set up. Since it's so early right now there won't be anyone in there, either..."

As the dragon's words trailed off it was very clear that the other male had something different in mind, which in Lux's mind was an invitation he couldn't refuse. As he felt the scaled hand grip his own, he looked around for Darian to give her a quick notice of where he was going. Unfortunately she wasn't anywhere to be seen, the phone section of the store completely devoid of life. Before he could say anything about it he found himself pulled back towards the break room of the store, and though it felt hurried, the two managed to have enough semblance of composure to get out of the public eye. Once they got inside the break room and Clive locked the door, that hint of modesty vanished as Lux was nearly pounced on by the other male.

Before Lux knew it his shirt had been ripped off as he pulled off the uniform of the other male while their tongues danced in the other's muzzle. The pants followed suit, and when the dragon pulled off the constrained clothes, it revealed the shiny, silver dragon and equine cocks underneath, which sparked enough recollection of what had previously happened for Lux to pull away. "Wait a second..." Lux said breathlessly as he put a hand on Clive's scaly chest. "Something's wrong... I think I remember now..."

The dragon just smirked and reassured Lux that what he was packing wasn't uncommon, and as he pulled down his own pants, he revealed a hemi-penis of his own. Unlike Lux's pair his were both symmetrical as they throbbed hard in the air while Clive moved and laid his naked, scaled form on the couch and beckoned him to come forward. At first the chaos chimera thought that the other male was setting himself up to give a blowjob, but as his hooven feet moved forward, the dragon shifted his body and raised his tail in the air to expose the pert cheeks and hidden tailhole beneath it. Once again the display was enough to drive Lux back into the haze of pure lust as his twin members began to lose their definition, the rubber cocks starting to lengthen even more as he crawled up on the couch as well.

Had there been a mirror Lux could have watched as his eyes turned to silver once more, this time the color bleeding out of his irises until they covered the entire sclera as he looked down at the submissive dragon in hungry lust. Even before he was able to properly position himself, he felt one of his two cocks begin to press between the firmly muscled rump of the male beneath him, eliciting a moan from the dragon as the tip began to slide inside. At first there was a bit of resistance of the tight muscle pushing back, but Lux felt a spurt of pre from both his cocks, seeming to not only lube, but also relax the opening to allow him better access to slide in.

"Unng... damn..." Clive moaned as his hands gripped the side of the couch as his chest pressed against the armrest. "I can't believe I'm doing this, I didn't even think I liked other dudes... And if anyone walked in right now, I would be totally fired." The dragon's words fell on deaf ears as Lux was completely lost in the bliss of having another creature in his grasp, satisfying instincts that he didn't even know existed before now. Clive tried to continue talking, but every few seconds his words were cut off with sharp gasps as Lux's latex prehensile cock slid inch after inch of itself into him.

Just as he was about to hilt into the dragon Lux felt his body begin to shift that caused him slight pause, groaning as the fur and scale on his body felt like it had something slithering underneath it. The sensations quickly seemed to congregate around his tail and wings, feeding him pleasure as his physiology began to alter once more. His silver tongue stretched out past his lips once more as his entire body shook from the pure bliss while the flesh on his snake tail and wings gained an unnatural luster. At the same time his second cock began to extend outward, as well, and slide between the dragon's legs before it coiled once around the sensitive flesh, causing both males to shudder as Lux's transformation continued.

As Clive began to gasp and groan with how deep Lux got with every thrust inside of him, the membranes of the chimera's wings began to twist and fold on themselves as thick, purple rubber seeped out and began to coat them. Lux's entire body writhed and grinded on top of the dragon's as his back muscles shifted to something entirely different than flight as a pair of purple tentacles wiggled in the air where a pair of wings used to be. At the same time a similar change was happening in the snake tail, the rattle at the end swelled as it formed a rubbery composition and began to lengthen. The entire appendage turned a glossy bronze as it wiggled on its own accord and began to slither forward.

The dragon's mouth was half open in a look of pure pleasure as the male above him continued to stretch him open, amazed at the wonderful sensations that coursed through his body as he felt both his tailhole and cock get pleasured at the same time. Just as he was about to shift his body to spread his legs out even more, something suddenly came into his field of vision that caused him to pause. As it slowly hovered in front of his face it looked like a bronze-colored, rubber flower attached to the end of what he assumed to be the chimera's tail. With the other male thrusting into his hole he could do little more than watch as the latex petals opened up in front of him and revealed a cock-like appendage dripping with thick, viscous fluid that shined in the light before it darted forward.

Lux opened his eyes just in time to see something latch onto the surprised dragon's head, hearing a muffled grunt from the male beneath him as a new and unusual spike of new pleasure washed over him. Clive's fingers dug into the soft armrest as the bronze petals completely enveloped his head down to the neck and seemed to suction around until the features of his face were clearly seen. The stamen-like appendage filled the reptilian muzzle and continued to push down until the chimera could see it slide into his throat, which caused another round of lust as it felt like the muscles were pressing against his own cock. As the latex continued to push into the dragon's muzzle and nostrils, the scaled body writhed under Lux's continued rhythmic thrusts until his muscles began to relax and his head began to bob in time with the cocks inside his body.

After a few more minutes Lux's entire body tensed up and he came hard, both the vine cocks embedded deep in the other male flooding the dragon's stomach with seed to the point where it began to distend outwards in a noticeable bulge. The purple latex tentacles that had been the chimera's wings slowly retracted into his body as his tail broke off from the pod that had attached to the dragon's head, though the rubber on the edge quickly reformed into a new one as it retracted back to its original size. As the haze of lust was replaced with the warm, pleasant afterglow of sex, he slowly pulled himself off of the dragon and the fluid-soaked couch, both his and Clive's juices mingling when they both orgasmed. Slowly it dawned on the chimera what had just happened, then gasping in shock as he stared at the other male still lying on the couch.

Clive's body began to twitch and convulse as though still in the throes of orgasm as his entire body turned around on the couch. The dragon's hand gravitated towards his stomach as bulges began to appear under his scales; tiny at first, but quickly growing larger as the tendrils spread out into his body. His cock, which had become coated in a layer of rubber as well, began to spurt thick, red latex that landed on the male's scales as his hips thrusted into the air with each jet. As Lux slowly began to back away, more of the shiny substance began to flow out of the pod attached to the dragon's head, cascading downward and mingling with the growing pool that formed on the scaly stomach and thighs of the infected creature.

After only a few minutes the dragon on the couch had been completely covered in a cocoon of the substance, only vague details of the male could be seen as the latex skin undulated and swelled from the growing vines underneath. Even though Lux had no clue what was going on, he had a feeling that this wasn't going to be the same creature as the wolves had become as he struggled to put his clothes back on as quickly as he could. Unlike his last encounter the growths seemed to concentrate back inward on the transforming male inside, not spreading out like before. The chaos chimera could only imagine what was about to come out of that rubber pod, but one thing he knew was he definitely wasn't going to stick around to find out.

As he slowly peeked out his head to make sure no one was around, Lux snuck out of the break room and back into the store proper. With his mind now completely clear he remembered his mission, which meant he needed to find Darian and get out of the store as quickly as possible. As he passed by one of the cameras he looked back to find his wings and tail had once again returned to their normal configuration, though the flesh was unnaturally shiny and monotone that suggested otherwise. How the plant-like infection inside his body knew to camouflage him in such a way was a mystery, but he knew that it wasn't the time for introspection. While he wasn't sure how long it would take for his latest conquest to incubate, he knew that it wouldn't be good when that cocoon hatched, though as he looped around the store he couldn't find the arctic fox anywhere.

Finally as he rounded near the back of the store, making sure to stay clear of the break room just in case, his large ears twitched when he got to the area that led into the storage room in back. He swallowed hard as the faint noise was very familiar to him, and after a quick check to see if anyone was looking at him, he ducked his way into the back. As he passed through the strips of plastic that separated the front of the store from the storage area, the sounds noticeably increased in intensity and pitch. It didn't take long for him to navigate through the shelves of boxes towards a small area in the back where the store received trucks.

Lux felt his stomach sink as he saw Darian completely naked, her white fur replaced with a skin of pure rubber with similarly colored vines wrapped around her form as she was sandwiched between two other creatures who wore store uniforms. The herm's cock was buried in a female lynx who had also gotten completely naked and was pinned against the wall, her snatch filled with the latexified member of the vulpine. The thin tentacles that grew out of the fox's body had migrated onto the feline's body, growing over her body like a plant as they coiled around their pressed-together breasts and had pushed their way into her ears and nostrils. As the lynx's body twitched and spasmed with pure pleasure, her fur began to melt into a similar rubber substance as well, more of the invasive vines pressing up underneath as several began to sprout out of the corrupted area and grow out onto the walls.

Behind Darian was a heavily muscle bull that likely worked in the storage area of the store, and though his clothes were still on, his pants were around his ankles while his own large member was buried hilt deep into the vulpine's latex folds, all while the long, latex tail of the fox had buried itself into the male's tailhole. Like the lynx, the white rubber vines from Darian's hips and thighs had started to wrap around the bull, as well as several thicker tentacles that had sprouted from the fox's back and had coiled their way across the male's muscular chest and into his clothing. If the bull knew what was happening to him he didn't show it, his eyes glazed over and his mouth completely open. Even as Lux watched, a shiny grey substance began to leak out of the bull's mouth, nose, and ears as his tongue drooped down and extended until it nearly touched his chest.

With the fox fully succumbed to the vines inside her, Lux quietly backed away from the scene and tried to shake his head of it. The thought that managed to bubble to his mind was that if he was the first to be contaminated, why was his transformation taking so long? Even with having spread to three people now, those that he infected have changed far more radically than he had so far. Once he was out of the break room he took out his phone to call Velan, looking around frantically as he waited for the phone to connect. As he did, he saw the early shoppers in the area and wondered if he should warn them or try to evacuate the building, but as he tried to consider the logistics of doing such a thing, he suddenly heard a click as his call went to voicemail.

"Velan..." Lux said as he rubbed his mouth. "It's Lux... listen, we have a problem. Darian and I got sidetracked at the electronics store a few block away and... um... yeah... it happened again. I still apparently have my wits about me, but Darian, I don't think she's going to be of any more help. I need to run; I think this thing is going to go south really fast... But if you get this message, you need to ditch those spores wherever you can and just get out of the city, because I think this thing is going to spread-"

Suddenly there was a loud shout at the back of the store as a cheetah that had been stocking shelves was suddenly pinned down by a latex creature that only vaguely resembled the dragon it had once been, the restrained male starting to shout before the rubber plant dragon leaned down and pushed its tongue into his throat. "-like wildfire," Lux finished his sentence as he looked in horror as the cheetah's eyes rolled back into his head as the vine pushed down into his throat while more of the shiny, red tentacles pulsated and began to wrap around the male's body. As the thick, latex fluid dripped down into the feline's fur, it turned a bright yellow and began to assimilate it as something large and round began to push down the rubber dragon's tongue and into the cheetah's gullet, where it stretched his maw and throat before being deposited in his stomach. Others had run to try and aid the fallen male only to stop and turn to run when they saw what was happening, a lioness that had gotten too close let out a cry of her own as the thick latex tail stretched out and wrapped around her neck before the tip opened and engulfed her head.

Pandemonium broke out in the store as everyone began to run for the exits; the two trapped were quickly forgotten as everyone panicked. The only one who continued to move forward was Lux as he ran to the lioness to try and free her while there was potentially still time. When he got up close enough; however, he knew he was already too late as he could see her entire body quivering and her hands against her groin as thick vines began to grow over and underneath her fur. The rate of assimilation had been so exponentially increased that it took the chimera by surprise, especially when the cheetah had been completely encased in rubber with the tentacles of the plant dragon still embedded in it while more latex vines had begun to grow out from between the lioness' legs and spread out along the floor.

Like the others, Lux turned tail and ran for the exits as well once he saw nothing could be done. While he knew he was infected, as well, he wasn't sure if one of the completely transformed would still grab hold of him to speed his along, and he definitely wasn't willing to find out. By the time he had reached the outside of the store with the others he could already hear sirens in the distance coming his way from both sides of the streets, no doubt from the numerous calls that they had just received. With this newest outbreak, along with the situation they had likely discovered at the apartment complex, the response to the situation was going to exponentially increase, which meant that he knew if he was found out as patient zero, he would be immediately hunted down. Part of him wanted to call Velan again, but when he saw the first police car turn around the corner, he felt the urge to run and indulged in it.

He had only gotten a block before he ducked down an alley and allowed himself time to breathe, hearing the wail of sirens from what sounded like every emergency response service in the entire city. When none of them stopped in his location he breathed a sigh of relief, at least until he heard an entirely new sound almost directly above him. "Helicopters?!" he cried out as the large machines passed by overhead. "Seriously?!"

As he started further down the alleyway his phone suddenly rang, looking down he saw it was Velan's number and immediately answered it. "Lux, what on earth is going on?" the voice on the other end of the line said. "I just looked at the news on my phone and you would have thought that a bomb just went off downtown!"

"I don't know what happened..." Lux replied as his hand grabbed onto one of his own curved horns in frustration. "Darian and I were going to look for help and suddenly we just lost all track of what we were doing, then we happened to be in front of the store and one thing led to another... she's completely gone man, whatever this thing is has completely changed her."

"What about you?" Velan asked.

Lux sighed and looked at himself, specifically at his rubber tail and wings that otherwise appeared normal before he got back on the phone. "I've changed more, but it appears that I still have some time left," he admitted. "I don't know how much more, though, and if anyone else gets close to me... I mean I had just been in there for a few seconds and suddenly there are rubber plant dragons and Darian's getting double teamed... this is just insanity."

"Listen, it's going to be alright," the jackal replied over the phone. "I think I managed to get a lead on who the package was originally supposed to be for, some company named Sibergon Labs that I've never heard of. If I can get a number for them, hopefully they'll know what's going on and can fix it. Until then try and isolate yourself as best you can, especially if it seems like the changes only happen when you're around people. If you can't get back to the apartment try an abandoned storefront, break in if you have to, just find a place and lie low, alright?"

Lux agreed and Velan hurriedly said that he had to go before he hung up. The chimera continued to listen to the beeping of the disconnect signal before he acted on what he was told. While he wasn't sure exactly what had caused him to forget the first, time he knew he didn't want to be around people and opted instead for the alleys used to supply the stores in back. Fortunately he found them to be empty, but he didn't know if they would stay that way and he wanted a place to hide in case the cops did a search of the area. He looked around and tried a few doors that had no shop signs on them until he found one that was actually open and looked inside. It appeared whatever restaurant that had been there had been completely vacated, nothing but old equipment and a few pots and pants were scattered about.

Once he was sure there was no one inside, he slipped in and locked the door behind him, then ventured further into the kitchen. It was rather small, and when he peaked out past one of the doors he could see the front where people ate, the windows flashing with red and blue lights that caused him to duck back in. Though he was still close to the electronics store, it was likely the best he would do on short notice as he found a small office with a chair still in it to sit down. As the seconds passed he started to feel more relaxed, until the sound of the door being unlocked and opened caused him to bolt upright.

"This is the police!" a voice shouted as the chimera's eyes widened. "We saw you come in here, now come out slowly with your hands up!"

Lux was at a loss for what to do, on the one hand he knew if he got caught here it wouldn't end well for him, but on the other hand, he knew if he tried to explain what he was doing it would likely be the same result. As quietly as he could, he got out of the chair and slunk out back into the kitchen, where he saw a beam of light illuminate the darkened room. As he slowly moved behind one of the prep tables, he saw the open door behind the officer and knew if he could just avoid the light and dart outside, he had a chance to escape. Luckily the flashlight gave away the officer's position and where he was looking, so Lux just continued to slide along the floor as the cop went the other direction.

The plan seemed to work as he got to the corner of the prepping station and saw the door only a few feet away from him, but as he looked up to see the cop looking out into the serving area, he was suddenly bathed in light from a second source. "Stop right there!" the second officer said as he came in through another door that connected the shops, and as Lux lunged for his freedom, he suddenly felt his back fur get hit with something before a surge of electricity coursed through his body and caused him to black out before he hit the floor...
