When Vivid warped through to the other side of the portal the first thing he immediately noticed were the smells. It was like the air contained all his favorite food smells and put them into one super smell that he was breathing in right now. Ahead of him Renzyl and Jerkah were standing and talking about how to send Vivid back through his realm after they had altered their last course, right up until Renzyl held up his hand and then with a flick of his wrist a phone-like object appeared in it. "That the wife calling you?" Jerkah joked as Renzyl pushed him away and turned back to Vivid.
"I'm going to leave you in the capable hands of my brother here while I deal with the fact that Chrono is freaking out that we didn't end in the control room," Renzyl explained while he looked at Jerkah. "You don't do anything to him that you can't reverse right away, I got to get him home and technically we're not even supposed to be here. You got that?"
"Of course," Jerkah said with a smile. "I have a few concoctions that Vivid and I can work on, he is perfectly safe in my hands."
Once Renzyl left Jerkah began to show him around the area that they had just warped into. The area he was in at the moment was dominated by one extremely large kitchen; rows upon rows of ranges and other equipment dominated the area as various creatures were cooking food on them. Those that were done took the food to a large row of dumbwaiters and sent it on its way. The chocolate crocodile explained that those dumbwaiters were connected to places all over the realms, allowing him to send his special treats wherever he had established a portal on the other side. After that he showed him the large restaurant area of the realm where his minions, which once more came in all shapes and sizes, seemed to not mind the fact that as they ate they were transforming into radically different things.
Finally the crocodile showed him the ingredient storage rooms, where everything that Vivid had ever known that could be cooked with was there. Jerkah explained that there was much more to the realm, but the tour itself would take up all the time that he had with him and instead told him to grab the milk and heavy cream from one of the many large refrigerators. Vivid eagerly did so and the crocodile did the rest, returning to the kitchen. As the crocodile spread out all the ingredients a naga with caramel scales asked if he could assist in anything, and when Jerkah refused he looked down to Vivid and saw him staring. The naga offered him a lick and held out his hand, which when his curiosity got the best of him he did and was surprised when he got the exact flavor of sea salt caramel.
"Taste testing comes later, Yuri," Jerkah said with a grin as he shooed the naga off, then had Vivid look at the ingredients spread out before him. "So Vivid, can you tell what we're about to make here?"
Vivid took a look at everything and several recipes came to mind, but one in particular stuck out with him. "It's ice cream," Vivid said with a grin. "So dessert first?"
"I always found that there's no wrong time for sweets," Jerkah replied with a chuckle. "This is a very special recipe for parties and such, so I'll guide you through it and we'll see what the end result is."
Vivid continued to grin as he got to cook, mixing the ingredients together as Jerkah watched over him to help handle ingredients he didn't know about. While it was a perfectly normal base for it there were a few things that the crocodile added special, telling the fox to be careful with them. About twenty minutes later Vivid looked down at the fruits of his labor in the form of a white, slightly frothy liquid that Jerkah ladled into a vial. Once he had taken a sizable amount he led Vivid past a metal door, the temperature inside it so cold it caused the fox to immediately shiver as Jerkah followed behind him and closed the door.
"Go ahead and take a sip," the chocolate crocodile said as he handed him the ice cream mixture, the fox looking at him incredulously. "Yes yes, I know that it hasn't chilled yet but trust me, you're going to want to drink it now."
Vivid shrugged and took the vial, then drank it down in two swallows before handing the empty class back to Jerkah. While the liquid was sweet and tasted of vanilla there was no consistency that made it real ice cream, they had been in there for far too short of a time for it to have chilled properly. As they stood there for a bit inside the freezer Vivid started to feel himself no longer shivering, as though his body was starting to grow more acclimated to the cold. After another minute his entire body began to feel strange, as if his physiology had somehow changed even though he was still the same fox form as he was before. Finally he realized the cold air that he had been sucking in no longer stung his lungs, mainly because he was no longer breathing anymore as he looked down at himself in curiosity.
"This little concoction is something that I typically use for my guests in colder climates or who really just like ice cream," Jerkah explained as he took a chocolate-scaled finger and rubbed it down Vivid's arm. The fox felt a shudder of pleasure as his fur didn't move out of the way like it usually did, instead it seemed to accumulate on the crocodile's finger before he popped it into his mouth which caused another burst of pleasure. "Like I said, a lot of fun at parties. You know, with those pink markings of yours all we would have had to do was add some chocolate for your stomach or something and you would make a wonderful Neapolitan fox."
"The strawberry part would be rather small," Vivid managed to reply in amazement as he watched the fur reform along his arm as though nothing had happened.
"That's because no one likes strawberry," Jerkah smirked. "Go on, give yourself a taste."
Even though Vivid could already somewhat taste the flavors still in his mouth, he did what the crocodile told him to do and stuck a finger in his mouth. The instant he had done so his eyes widened in shock, not only was the taste of the ice cream amazing, but the sensations he got from licking his ice cream finger was just like he was sucking on his own cock. As he continued to lick and suck on his finger Jerkah explained that he wanted the act of getting licked and nibbled upon to be as pleasurable as possible, so he took the sensitivity that he normally had on his maleness, which was also rock hard and made of ice cream, and had those sensations translate to the rest of his body. As they continued to talk about all the possibilities, including what would happen if Vivid ingested a lot of chocolate syrup, the cold began to quickly return and he found himself shivering once again. This seemed to be the cue to the crocodile for them to step out of the freezer and back into the kitchen proper.
Once Vivid seemed to return to normal, the fox giving himself an experimental lick only to taste his own fur now, they left the freezer and returned to warmer temperatures. This time as they passed by the pantry both the fox and crocodile loaded up on more savory ingredients, particularly different cheeses before they made their way back to an area with a bunch of very large pots. "I think I can already tell you what's coming next," Vivid grinned as he set all the items down, looking in particular as the bottles of liquid and other stock that they had acquired. "Some sort of soup, right? Like a cheese soup?"
"Top marks, Vivid," Jerkah said as he put down his as well. "You know if Renzyl hadn't been specific that you had to go I'd keep you around for a while as my assistant, teach you everything I know. But in any case, this is a very fun twist on a recipe that I got from a strange and mysterious land where cows roamed everywhere and people praised and adored a large golden G. In either case, let's get started, shall we?"
This time it took a lot more work in order to make the pot of soup that Jerkah was teaching him, mainly because it took so many ingredients to fill the particularly large pot they were using. It was bigger than Vivid to the point where he had to use a large step stool just to get over the edge and put all his prepared foods inside of it, like the multiple bottles of beer that were used as the base. After what seemed like hours, though, Vivid had created something that smelled delicious, the golden liquid simmering as he added the last of the vegetables in it. Vivid was given a giant wooden spoon to get down deep with his stirring, managing to get the entire pot swirling to make sure that the bottom didn't burn.
Once it was done Vivid was told to give it a taste test, and when he did the soup was strangely good. It caused him to smack his lips a couple times before he turned to Jerkah and said that it tasted amazing. Before he could say anything, though, he felt himself get pushed forward and he tumbled head first into the large pot of soup, splashing it everywhere as the fox suddenly found himself surrounded by thick liquid. At first he had expected it to burn, and as soon as it sloshed against his body it was warm, but not uncomfortably so. He could already feel himself changing as he struggled to get himself upright in the giant pot, finally he was able to bend his body nearly in half in order to get around himself so he could emerge once more.
When he broke the surface of the soup he tried to let out a gasp, only to once more find it no longer necessary to breathe. "I wanted this one to be a bit of surprise," Jerkah smirked as Vivid saw another one of his kitchen creatures come up with a mirror. "I call this a soup sergal."
Vivid looked down at himself and gasped slightly at what he saw, his upper body completely covered in the thick cheese that seemed to melt into the surface of the soup. His head was the biggest change though, the vulpine features of his face not only covered by the thick substance but completely transformed into something strange. His muzzle now came together in an almost triangular fashion, ironically making it look like a wedge of cheese as Jerkah helped him out of the pot and back onto the kitchen floor. There were a few other alterations as well, particularly his tail which had grown more reptilian with a goopy floof of what he imagined would have been fur if he hadn't just been turned into soup.
"Now to see if it's properly ready," Jerkah said before he snapped his fingers, getting the attention of the tiger that had been standing there and motioning for him to come close. "Could you be a dear and taste our friend to see if the soup is ready?"
The tiger replied with an eager no problem and went right up to Vivid before kissing him. There was an awkward moment as he tried to angle his new muzzle in order to get it in there right, but once he had gotten the logistics down the two were deep in each other's mouths with their tongues. Vivid could swear he almost heard a slurping sound as after a particularly deep delve the tiger pulled off and kept the transformed sergal's tongue in his mouth for a long as possible. "Oh yeah, that's your beer cheese soup alright," the tiger said with a grin as he suddenly slunk down to his knees. "Of course I'm going to need a better taste."
At that point Vivid hadn't even realized his cock was erect until the tiger stuffed it in his maw, causing Vivid to lean back on the counter in sheer pleasure. As the tiger continued to suck vigorously on his cock more of the soup seemed to leak out of his mouth, which at first the former fox thought was just he other male being sloppy until it started to come out of his nose and soon after his ears, as well. By the time Vivid was able to think above the pleasure the tiger's muzzle had already puffed up and started to form in a wedge shape as the soup clung to his fur. Just as the feline slid his new muzzle to take the cock all the way to the root Vivid saw fur begin to appear on his hands, and when he reached up to his face he found that his normal vulpine muzzle had returned.
As the soup continued to transfer from the fox to the tiger the expert ministrations and increasing surface area of the tongue and muzzle on his cock caused Vivid to climax, gasping loudly as the last of the cheesy transformation reached the tiger's legs and tail. After the fox had finished cumming the last of the substance out of him, the newly-minted beer cheese sergal nodded to Jerkah before he began to walk back towards the cafeteria to give everyone else a sample. As the chocolate crocodile led Vivid to the next station he informed him that unlike his transfer, there's going to be a lot more sergals in his realm once the former tiger is done spreading that gift.
"Now for our last creation," Jerkah said as he made his way over to a counter that seemed to be already prepared for them. "Another sweet, this one is a newer creation of mine that I think you'll enjoy."
While the chocolate crocodile was tight-lipped on the end product Vivid had a suspicion on what it was going to be based on the liberal amount of gelatin powder they were using. A few more things got added to the mix, including a few strange plants like wolfsbane and catnip. "You know that wolfsbane is actually extremely poisonous, right?" Vivid asked as he held up the plant for Jerkah to see.
"Not for what we're using it for," Jerkah replied with a grin and a wink. Despite his trepidations Vivid tossed it in there with everything else. In short order Vivid was pouring the substance into molds that were in the shape of little circles. After a few minutes Jerkah announced that they were finished and for Vivid to try out how he did.
The fox popped one of the blue jelly candies out of the molds and popped it into his mouth, chewing the sweet treat a few times. Despite the odd ingredients all Vivid could taste were the fruity flavors he had added, even when he swallowed it he could continue to taste it in his mouth. When he stuck out his tongue he found out why, not only had the candy turned his tongue blue, but into gel, as well. As the fur of his face became wet and tinted blue his entire skull began to expand, going from vulpine to canine as he felt his teeth grow while also turning to candy.
"I call them gummi weres," Jerkah said as a huge grin was plastered on his muzzle as Vivid let out a growl while his body began to grow. "Instead of you eating people during the full moon, people eat you! Well, you can eat people too, either way you're going to spread the sugary infection until the morning comes and it wears off. How are you feeling, Vivid?"
Vivid tried to form the words but with his brain turning to gel and the sweet transformation cascading down his neck, all he could manage was a grunt. An eight-pack set of abs burst through his fur with semi-translucent skin just like the gummi he had eaten, which with a similar thing happening to his back Jerkah could now see right through the growling gummi werewolf. "I think it's time we bring in our test subject." Jerkah said as he brought over a wolf that was staring at Vivid in awe as the fox continued to grow. "I want to see the difference between wolf and werewolf, if you don't mind."
At this point the only thing the fox could think about was sex as he looked down at the wolf in front of him with semi-translucent gel eyes. Vivid's new instincts took over and with a sweep of his powerful new muscles he had the wolf bent over one of the counters and his gel cock already partially in his tailhole. The wolf let out a yelp as the gummi werewolf began to thrust into him, the last bits of white fur disappearing into the assimilating gel that had taken over the entirety of Vivid's body. As soon as he about halfway inside the smaller he reached down and bit him in the shoulder with his fearsome fangs, at least it would have been had they not been made of jelly that deformed around the fur. The effect of the bite was quickly felt; however, as the fur of the wolf quickly began to slicken as his shoulder swelled greatly in response to it.
"Well looks like I missed something fun," a voice said behind Jerkah as the chocolate crocodile turned to see Renzyl standing there with his arms crossed while the gel werewolf that had been Vivid continued to hump into the rapidly transforming wolf underneath him. "What did I say about such transformations?"
"Relax Renzyl," Jerkah told the rubber dragon as he grabbed Vivid's wagging tail and held it down to Renzyl, who gave it a lick and made a face of surprise approval. "I just wanted to make sure that I had an already-transformed creature before you got here and then I'll return Vivid back to normal. Just got to wait for it to take root and we're good."
Renzyl tilted his head and looked at the two creatures, both of them gummi werewolves now as Vivid pushed deep with his thick gel cock while the other werewolf growled and snarled while he took it. "Well someone certainly has gotten to their root," Renzyl said as both creatures began to drool a sweet substance in the middle of their mating. "I think now is the time to reverse it before I have to explain why his home planet now is made of candy werecreatres."
Jerkah just chuckled and snapped his fingers and returned Vivid back to his normal state, the gel melting off to reveal his body like it had been there all along. Once he was back to normal the fox quickly pulled out of the gummi werewolf's tailhole with mild embarrassment and was led to the showers while the candy creature immediately began to sniff around for more people to transform. After a few minutes he was completely cleaned up and back in his normal, unaltered clothes, along with the ladle that and other supplies that Renzyl had kept for safekeeping, they began to walk out of the kitchens and out of the large manor completely. Eventually they got to what felt like the edge of the realm, but unlike Renzyl's multihued fog what stood before them appeared to be a giant gel wall. Renzyl took Vivid's hand and began to push through, the thick substance pressing against them as they made their way to the other side...
*********************************
Once they were through the gelatinous wall of swirling colors Vivid was surprised to find himself on an obsidian plateau similar to the one he arrived on. "These are one of the few things in the realm that will never change," Renzyl explained as they walked over to the middle of the intricate carvings on the surface of the stone. "That's why most of us build a wall around it, to shield us from the raw etherium that this place seems to attract. Still extremely useful for bringing people in and out of the system without our aid, though, which is why we even use it in the first place."
"Fascinating," Vivid replied as he rubbed a finger against the stone. "I guess... this means that it's time for me to go now."
"Well, not quite yet," Renzyl said with a grin as he took a duffel bag out from behind his back and tossed it in front of Vivid. "Not until you get your keepsakes! I've taken it as a bit of a habit that those I spend such time with get mementos of their journey, lest you somehow forget your travels. Since we visited a lot of places together you have a lot of souvenirs, so let's get down to business, shall we?"
The first thing that Vivid pulled out appeared to be a silver bodysuit completely with attached helmet on it. "Ah yes, a variation of the PET suit that you found yourself stuck in on the first planet that we went to," Renzyl explained. "This one is a far toned down version, but if you ever want to get bossed around by a computer for a few hours, just put that bad boy on and get to work."
Vivid could feel himself blush as he set the suit aside and grabbed the next thing, this one a bottle of liquid with the shadows of muscular creatures like a wolf, a lion, and a panther. Renzyl explained that was Predator Spray, something to remind him of getting chased all over the jungle on their next planet. He instructed the fox to spray it on someone he was planning on being with to have him bulk up and give him the true predator experience, or spray it on himself if he was feeling particularly dommy. Vivid took a sniff of the spray before he set it aside, moving to the next item that he pulled out.
"Now that item I think you're going to have a lot of fun with," Renzyl smirked as Vivid palmed the clear crystal. "I had that imprinted with the dragon that you met on the planet with all the mind controllers, now not only will this put your into a deep state of trance when you stare into it, but if you're holding it while you do so you'll turn into that crystalline dragon again and be its puppet for a while. Or you can summon the dragon separately and be its slave, either way I think you're going to have a lot of fun with this one... Vivid?"
Vivid's jaw began to grow slack as he looked into the deep depths of the crystal, right up until Renzyl took it and put it into a bag. "We'll just keep that out of sight for now," Renzyl instructed before he pulled out a vial of blue liquid. "Ah, a gift from our symbiote friend. While this version is only temporary, if you ever feel a burning desire to return to your symbiotic self just put a drop of this on your tongue, plus if you have a friend you can do this to them, as well, and have your own symbiote servant. My that was a lot of alliteration, what's next?"
"It looks like a book," Vivid said as he took out the thick, glossy triangle and opened it. "It's an art book... hey, these paintings are all from the gallery that your brother Kirdos had."
"Ah, he gave you a trimmed down version of his masterpieces," Renzyl explained. "All you have to do is put your hand on it and you'll be transported there mentally to experience all the fun that particular painting has to offer. Not as good as the art gallery version, but then again what art book is comparatively? Next is something that I think you'll like from our break at the Nexross."
Vivid looked down and saw that it was another picture, except this one was framed and was a photograph of him with Renzyl and the others that he had eaten with while at the resort. It was a lovely memento of a lovely time, and as he carefully put it back in the duffel he felt something attempt to wrap around his wrist and reached down to grab it. What he pulled out was a potted plant with a bulb at the end of it, one that was similar to what he had encountered on the plant planet.
"Right now that plant is travel-sized," Renzyl said as Vivid watched the rubber vine wiggle in the air. "With a little growing it will turn into a flower that is similar to the one that seeded you, and once it does that you can have it do the same to you and transform back into that possessed plant creature, only you'll still have your own faculties about you and you are unable to spread. Still, good for parties if you have any like-minded individuals."
"I think I can take a guess at what I'm going to find next," Vivid said with a smirk as he reached in and pulled out a helmet and harness. "Let me guess, drone technology from the deep mining facility."
"You definitely got it," Renzyl replied with a grin. "Like the other gifts it's not the full set up, but the helmet will give you the feeling of being a drone once more and the harness will help with the physical sensations. Now the next thing is something that I seem to give out more often than not, but yours has a little twist to it."
As Vivid pulled out the different bottles of what looked to be lotion, Renzyl explained that they were all related to being able to change into a goo version of himself. One added mass and made him huge as long as he did it near water, another turned him into a dragon, and there were a number of others all with varying effects. All in all there were nearly a dozen bottles, all of them surrounding the fox as he set each one aside.
At this point there were only two items left in the bag, the first was a smooth stone that glowed with an unearthly blue light. "I actually found this as we were leaving the cave of the spirits," Renzyl admitted. "While I can't communicate with it personally, I think it's from your friend that you so fondly call Spirit. With that you'll be able to talk with him and perhaps even temporarily let him walk around in your skin again, which I'm sure you won't mind. Which of course leads us to our last thing, which was given to me by another new friend of yours."
Vivid picked up the smooth rubber orb and as he held it in his hands he could feel the tension in the surface of the shiny substance. "That is one of Scythe's capture orbs," Renzyl explained. "Just throw that at somebody and they'll be bound and ready for transport in only a few minutes, complete with gag. And it automatically disengages as well, in case you happen to... accidently... use it on yourself."
Both males smirked at one another as Renzyl gave him a book. "This is a last minute addition to your stash," Renzyl explained. "Jerkah wanted me to give you a few recipes, says that they're great for parties or something like that as long as you don't get too carried away. Then there's the gift from me, which I'd give you except that you're already wearing them. Those cuffs you're wearing will allow you to be able to connect with me on a metaphysical level, plus some limited control over rubber. Given what you and Scythe got up to with that, I think you'll know exactly what to do with them.
Once that was finished Renzyl helped Vivid get everything back in his bag. "Well it has certainly been quite the wild ride," the rubber dragon said as the stood up. "You are one freaky fox and I love it. I only wish that we could have done more but alas, now is the time for you to return you back the way you came. Now the trip home is rather simple, just use your teleportation ability and you will be transported to the destination that you were about to go before I... intercepted you. To your world it'll be like you had just completed a jump, no time will have passed just like you had teleported without incident."
"You know I don't even remember why I was going there in the first place," Vivid said with a chuckle. "It's going to be strange going back to my old life after what I've seen here, I'll certainly never forget it. And I'll never forget you either, perhaps one day our paths will cross again."
Vivid waved to Renzyl as they said their last goodbyes, then Vivid stepped forward and Renzyl backed off until he was outside of the glyph. For the first time in a while the fox channeled his own teleportation powers, feeling the familiar rush of energy filling his body as the lines etched in the stone began to glow. The light continued to build around Vivid until the magic took hold and he could feel space and time opening up for him, without even needed for him to think about the destination at hand. The last thing he saw before he disappeared from sight was Renzyl giving him one last grin and a wave of his hand.
When Vivid blinked again he was standing on the street of a small town, and as he looked around he found himself on his own planet once again. He hoisted the duffel bag on his shoulder, a firm reminder that what he had gone through was certainly not a dream, and began to move to his destination when he decided to grab a quick coffee from a small shop that was on the street. "On the house," the vendor said as he handed him the cup. "You look like you've been on a journey of a thousand miles."
"You have no idea..." Vivid grinned as he took the free coffee and walked away, the sabrewolf watching him go with a smirk on his face before he vanished from sight.
