Tanakeah and Serathin go to the Raven's factory in order to try and pick up a great deal on a rubber suit or something of that nature that they couldn't normally afford, only to realize that a clerical error on their part has made them arrived far too late for the sale! Not all hope is lost though as their dejected nature is caught by the avian owner himself who always wants to make sure that everyone who enters the Factory is satisfied...

Several months later a group of anthros were moving boxes in a small warehouse, all of them marked with the insignia of Raven's Factory on them as they looked around nervously. "This is the third time that we've had to move our stock of counterfeit gear," a grey-furred wolf said as a stallion put three boxes down next to the one that the lupine had done. "I'm starting to think that the boss is getting paranoid, soon he's going to start saying that he's seen birds flying around in his sleep."

"If you were the one that ripped off the Raven you'd be looking over your shoulder too," the stallion replied as he glanced over at the tiger that sat at a card table watching the two of them. "I hear that once he catches your scent he binds you up and drags you back to the factory, turns you into one of those guards or something like that. Either way I don't envy being in his position, I just hope things quiet down so that it can be back to business as usual."

"Well one thing's for sure," the wolf replied as he went to get another box from the nearby truck they had parked. "If Francis doesn't get back in here soon he's going to wish that the Raven got to him first after what I'm going to do to him for taking a smoke break and leaving us to do all the heavy lifting..."

Meanwhile just outside the warehouse the fox in question took one last drag of the cigarette in his mouth, letting out the smoke as he dropped the used-up butt next to the two others that he had just done. While he had every intention of joining back to do the work he didn't feel like it at the moment as he laid back against the wall he had been using to prop himself up. Just as he decided to go back in and finally help though something hit him square in the face that caused him to recoil back. Instinctively he brought his hands up to try and get the strange substance off of his face, only to have his hands stick to it.

At this point panic set in and when the fox attempted to run back towards the door of the warehouse, only to suddenly find himself pinned against the wall from another volley of sticky, shiny webbing. As he struggled it only served to get him even more stuck to the side of the building until eventually he was unable to move an inch, his head looking forward just as two creatures emerged from the shadows. "It appears that we've already got ourselves one of our prey..." a strange rubber naga-like creature said, the fox's eyes widening in horror as the bright orange pedals opened up to revealed the rubber-covered head inside. "Do we tag him and bag him?"

"I think we can find a far better use for him," the second voice came from an equally bizarre plant dragon creature, the fox letting out a muffled cry to try and get someone else to help him. "Of course I'm sure you've already thought of what it is. Why don't you go ahead and flip him for us..."

While the fox wasn't quite sure what that entailed he quickly learned what the plan would be as the naga leaned forward and enveloped the vulpine in his flower. Once he had been completely cut off Tana's maw opened and something began to push through the layer of latex that was stretched over his muzzle, his tongue pushing its way out as it formed into a familiar appendage. The cocktongue found its way into the vulpine's maw and despite the horror of the situation the muffled grunt that came from the trapped male was partially in pleasure. The cobra could actually feel him start to suck on it, prompting a mental chuckle as he slid the thick appendage into the other creature a few times before pulling away.

When the naga slithered back both creatures could see that the fox was sporting a hard-on, the stimulation coming not only from the cocktongue that had been in his maw but also from the effects of the spore-laden latex sap seeping into his skin. Tana was more than happy to add to that, taking one of the spore pods on his back and creating a tendril that pushed its way into the hole in the rubber that he had pushed through with his tongue. The two of them watched as the semi-translucent tentacle pushed its way into the fox's mouth and down into his throat before releasing the contents inside. Though both their maws were completely covered up a grin could be seen on their muzzles as they watched veins of bright red latex to creep over his eyes...

Inside the warehouse the wolf growled and slammed down the crate that he had been holding. "This is bullshit!" the lupine shouted, getting shushes from both the horse and cheetah that caused him to be even angrier. "Why are we always letting him get away with slacking off when we have to do all the work?!"

"Right," the horse said as he passed by with his usual three crates, rolling his eyes. "We're doing all the work."

"I'll go yell at him myself once we're done with this shipment," the tiger replied as he rolled a cigarette, trying to hide his fingers twitching or his hands shaking. Though the wolf appeared to be ready to continue his tirade they heard the sound of the locks being disabled and the door opening. "There we go, now quit your bitching and finish unloading the truck so we can get out of here."

"About damn time..." the wolf said as he looked to see the fox walking in with a big grin on his face. "Hey Francis, I don't know what you're so giddy about, but if you don't come here right now and start unloading this crap I'm going to smack it right off your muzzle." Both counterfeiters stopped what they were doing as the fox didn't seem to even hear him, continuing to stand there with that dumb smile and staring blankly ahead. "Hey, you finally snap or something?"

When the two got closer the fox just shrugged and began to walk away, heading towards the back of the warehouse where they put the really sensitive stuff. By the time they had caught up to the fox both the lupine and equine were more concerned than angry, the stallion walking over and grabbing him by the shoulder. "Hey, we're not messing around-" When the horse turned him around he gasped in shock as he saw his eyes had turned shiny and bright red, looking like they were covered in rubber just like several patches of his fur. "Oh no..."

Too late the two realized they had wandered away from the careful eye of the boss to a more secluded area of the warehouse, but before they could turn back and shout for help the two rubber plant creatures that had been lying in wait took the opportunity to pounce. Once their enthralled fox had given them access inside they instructed him to lure the others to the area, Tana taking the wolf while Serathin dropped down and grabbed the horse. The naga was able to quickly coil himself around the surprised lupine and though he could have had his fun with him now he was content to keep him quiet with a latex hand around his muzzle. As his forked tongue flicked against his ear the wolf was forced to watch what was about to happen to the stallion in the leaf dragon's jaws.

The shock of suddenly being grabbed by the bigger creature had caused the horse to stand there with his mouth agape quickly, and it quickly turned to pure panic as the draconic muzzle that slowly lowered towards him split open. Just as the stallion was about to scream the vine tongue plunged its way into his maw, quickly muffling him before Serathin lunged forward and latched around his head. The rubber stretched around the skull of the horse as more vines quickly began to slither out and wrap around his body. The muscular male tried to thrash and wiggle out of the dragon's grasp but it was quickly becoming apparent that it was a losing battle as the face of the equine had already begun to stretch out the back of Serathin's neck.

"Looks like he has heads," Tana whispered as the wolf glanced back in complete and utter fear. "Looks like I get tails." The plant naga let go of the wolf's head, only to take the last coil of his serpentine form that had wrapped around the lupine and arch it back. Much like with the horse the wolf had attempted to cry out before the bulb on the end of Tana's tail darted forward and encapsulated his head as well.

As the wolf was pulled into Tana's lower body for safe-keeping and the horse quickly disappeared into the leaf dragon's gullet the fox was undergoing changes of his own. The spores that Tana had laced him with were kicking into overdrive, covering his furry flesh with a layer of latex that will cocoon him for transport. Though the big tiger boss was their primary target Raven wanted everyone in the counterfeiting ring to be brought to him for justice, plus it was extremely pleasurable for the two to trap their collections within them. For Serathin it was watching the glowing blue appearing as his rubber leaf scales stretched over the horse being drawn in, watching the bulge disappearing as the latex vines inside him adjusted the captured creature to fit more seamlessly inside him.

At the same time the outline of the lupine body was moving further into Tana as well, his rubber skin stretching over the other male as they were drawn inside of him. With every inch that disappeared down into his serpentine form caused him to shudder, especially while the lupine was still squirming inside. Both plant creatures continued to bask in the delicious sensation of their prey sliding down into them, but they knew that there was still one last task they had to do before the got comfortable...

After a few minutes the tiger finished his own cigarette, not bothering to go outside like their fox member always wanted to do. As he smashed the last bit of it against the table he had been sitting at he realized that there was no one around and the truck hadn't been unloaded. "What, you guys decide to take a break or something?" The tiger asked as he looked about while suddenly starting to feel nervous at the lack of response. "Hey... guys?"

When he once more didn't hear anything from his fellow gang members and as the silence became deafening he felt his eye beginning to twitch as he pulled the pistol from the holster on his hip. The second that he raised it up in the air however he found himself dropping it as a glowing blue vine suddenly wrapped around his wrist and squeezed. The sound of metal clattering against the concrete echoed through the warehouse as several more vines began to wrap around his wrists and waist to restrain him. The counterfeiter shouted and growled as he fought against the vines, only to stop when he saw the rubber plant naga slithering up to you.

"Such a naughty kitty," Tana hissed as he came up and put one of his flower-tipped limbs under his chin and stroked his jaw with a few latex petals. "If you're hoping your associates are coming to rescue you I'm afraid that they are quite detained at the moment, or at least as much as one can be with vines and tendrils in every orifice. Don't worry though, they'll be coming with you in order to meet the Raven."

"You can't do this to me!" the tiger roared. "You don't have the right to capture us!"

Though the feline had more to say his rant was suddenly interrupted as a glowing blue tentacle slithered up and formed a gag in his muzzle. "The Raven has every right to capture you after you attempted to try and profit off his hard work with your, in our opinion, extremely shoddy knock-off gear," Tana explained with a grin, pausing as his lower body bulged with the face of the wolf that caused the tiger's eyes to widen when he saw it. "Not only was what you were making damaging to his reputation but also highly dangerous as well, since it was clear that you didn't know what you were doing there was the high risk of someone getting hurt... and that is something he cannot ignore. Luckily for you he is rather creative in his methods of paying his debts and if you're anything like your friends I bet you'll find some enjoyment in paying him back, just like I'm sure you'll find in this."

With the two already carrying one bad guy they were going to have to cocoon him like the fox, who they had brought in behind some crates and was wiggling in essentially a rubber sleep-sack. The two discussed telepathically how best to take this one back since Serathin had his tongue nearly throat deep in the other male by now, and as they continued to toy with the tiger they could feel him trembling in both fear and anticipation. It wasn't uncommon to find those who they ensnared to get somewhat excited from being at their mercy, most of them typically were being captured in the first place since they loved the Factory's products so much they somehow ran into loads of debt or, like this tiger, attempted to make the items themselves.

In the end they decided to have a little more fun with this one, though they would have to revert his changes later they were sure that their employer wouldn't mind taking a bit of enjoyment from their work. As the rubber leaf dragon used his vines to take off the tiger's clothes it was clear the feline didn't mind it either as his girthy maleness immediately sprang out at full attention. "Oh my, looks like someone doesn't mind sampling their own product," the naga said as he reached down and squeezed the latex-clad cock, causing the tiger to shudder in pleasure from the sensation. "If my product knowledge is correct, which it is, the design of these are not only to enhance your bits but also the backdoor as well... let's just hope these aren't one of your knock-offs."

The tentacle was pulled out of the tiger's mouth, a trail of blue goo dribbling down his lips, but he didn't say much. The nectar that Tana had been spreading on the feline's body was having its desired effect as the counterfeiter's thoughts quickly turned to lust, dulling away any lingering fear and anxiety about his capture to allow him to focus on the euphoria of the moment. That sensation was increased ten-fold when the naga coiled around his fairly toned upper body until the head of the tiger rested against his vibrant green sheath. As the trapped feline continued to get rubbed against it he also started to feel something wrap around his thighs as well as start to press against his tailhole.

The latex shorts did their work as the vulcanized ring of muzzle was able to stretch around the thick vine cock that was pushing into him, blue goo leaking down his rear as the leaves that grew from the other vines began to attach themselves to the sensitive areas of the tiger's body. The stretching of his inner walls caused the tiger to gasp, which made it easier for the biggest of Tana's tentacle cocks to push into his mouth. The distant stare of the tiger became glassy as the spore-laden latex cum of the plant naga began to trickle down into his throat.

But the spore naga wasn't content to just infest him as he was being sucked off, the other thinner rubber tentacles rubbing around his face before finding other places to go. The conversion of the tiger had started ever since their bodies touched and Tana found that more of the feline's body was becoming rubberized as well, which allowed him to take his tendrils and push them into his nostrils and ears. If the tiger's throat wasn't bulging with tentacle cock he would have let out a low, loud moan as the naga slithered into his skull and infested his brain. It also gave him access to his thoughts and he saw the reason that he had counterfeited the Raven's work wasn't just for monetary reasons... the tiger was actually jealous of the bird's work but didn't have the ability to be as good as him.

Both rubber plant creatures smirked at one another as they kept the tiger in between them, knowing how futile it was to attempt to beat their boss. They were going to give the feline a lesson in why Raven was the best in the rubber business as the glowing blue goo of the leaf dragon and the dark blue latex of the spore naga assimilated the tiger's body. When the two substances mixed together it reformed so that his body was dark blue with glowing blue stripes, though physical changes weren't the only thing happening to the increasingly rubberized creature.

The two continued to spit roast the other male until they both climaxed, filling the feline with spores and goo until they had finished and pulled out. As soon as they did the vulcanized feline stood up, his eyes glowing with a bright blue light from his otherwise featureless face. Though the Raven would likely reverse it when the time came they had their own little infested tiger drone completely under their control, Tana reaching down and stroking the still erect latex cock before pushing it back. The rubber around the tiger's thighs tendrilled out and sucked it in until it was a featureless bulge on his body.

"I think that was a rather successful collection," Serathin said as the leaves once more enclosed around his face after giving their creation one last kiss. "Perhaps Raven will keep the design once he figures out how best to punish him." As the dragon looked around he suddenly took note of the crates of supplies that surrounded him. "What do you think we should do with all this knock-off gear?"

"I have an idea," the naga said as a grin spread on his rubberized face. "Let's see if our new tiger friend has a cell phone on him..."

A few minutes later the two collectors stood outside of the warehouse, the latex dragon calling the emergency line while the naga slithered back as he poured the last of the liquid out of a bright red can onto the truck they had driven inside. "Hello, is this fire and rescue?" Serathin asked as Tana grabbed the bottle they had prepared and came back towards his side where the tiger drone and the vac-sacked fox sat. "I was just driving down the highway near one of those old abandoned warehouses on fifth and I thought I saw fire coming from one of the windows, you definitely should take a look and probably bring a fire truck down here too."

Even though the operator told Serathin to stay on the line he hung up the phone and tossed it into the warehouse, then nodded to Tana. The naga nodded back before taking the lighter he had also found in the tiger's pocket and lit the rag sticking out of the bottle the rubber dragon was holding, watching the flames dance up the doused material before he tossed it into the warehouse as well. It didn't take long for the fire to quickly spread, flaring out almost instantly to envelop the wooden crates that had also been soaked in fuel. Sirens could be heard in the distance as the two Collectors watched the flames explode out before they took their things and made their way back to the Factory.

Once the two had gotten back and deposited their catch for them to be dealt with later they made their way back to Raven's garden. "I've been told that you managed to catch the entire ring of counterfeiters instead of just the leader," Raven said as the three walked through the garden, the bird once more riding on the shoulder of a guard while they moved. "I have to commend you for your good work once more, these last few months you've been bringing in quite the haul."

"Always a pleasure," Tana hissed in delight at the compliment.

"Not just that," Raven responded as he nodded down to the guard, who gave both Tana and Serathin a sheet of paper. "With your last mission complete it appears that you've earned enough to pay off those transformations of yours, which means that you are completely free of your debt. Congratulations, your contracts have been fulfilled and the excess funds that you have acquired will be wired to whatever account you wish."

Though the two were excited to see the zero at the bottom of their debt sheet, but both seemed to stop and look at one another with the same concern on their mind. They had been working as Collectors for the Raven for months now, using the bodies that had been given to them in order to take down those that had transgressions against the Factory. Up until that point they hadn't even thought about what they would do after they had managed to completely pay down what they owed. It made them think about the first time that they had come into the showroom, attempting to scrounge through the bargain bin looking for some way to fulfill their own desires before Raven extended a wing to help.

"I know those looks," the Raven said, snapping the two out of their telepathic connection to look at the bird. "I've seen them once before, back when I first met you two back in my showroom. You know how much I dislike unsatisfied customers."

"We were just thinking about that day actually," Serathin stated simply. "Back when we were in that showroom we didn't really quite know what we wanted, and now that we have this we can't think of anything else that we would rather be. So I guess if you're open to it I wonder if we could perhaps... arrange a new deal?"

The Raven didn't appear to be surprised by the offer, the bird giving a chuckle that took both of them aback slightly. "I had a feeling that you might want to join the ranks of the Collectors on a slightly more permanent basis," he said as he motioned for the guard to move him back towards the entrance of the garden that they had gone through initially. "While I'm sure you two feel more at home here we should take this back up into my office. Let's see if we can't find a way to make everyone happy here."

The other two were more than willing to do so, following the bird back through the trees. As they walked by they saw a number of creatures that had been newer additions to the garden since the last time they had walked it. More than once they noticed that the creatures had their collector markings on them, the Raven usually having those they captured moved into the garden to enact their punishment. One of the most recent ones was a dark blue rubber tree with glowing blue stripes with the trunk having the outline of a feline in it that shuddered slightly as they passed by.

Eventually they were taken out of the garden and brought back up to the office, Raven fluttering over to the perch next to his desk and using his feet to type on the nearby computer. "So since you're already in the system as Collectors it wouldn't be too much of a stretch in order to have you maintain your status," the avian explained as he looked at the screen. "Really the only question that I have to ask for you is what you want to do with the funds that you will be paid now that they're not going towards your debt. The simplest answer of course would be to just pay you out and let you spend the money however you want... however since our last arrangement went so swimmingly I'm wondering if I could entice you with something else instead."

"You know us," Serathin said with a smirk, Tana nodding his head as well. "Lay it on us."

"Well over the last couple months I've been using the data that you've been giving me as test subjects in order to create a few more prototype products that would be ideal not only for rubber plant creatures but also hunters like yourselves," Raven explained as he continued to type on his computer. "Now I'm sure I don't have to tell you that anything as state-of-the-art as what comes out of the Factory as a prototype is not cheap, but along with the discount you would get for being testers we can take your pay and continue to apply it as a line of credit. Of course if you don't wish to have any more modifications to your body I think that we can figure out something else."

The two plant creatures once more looked at one another, but even before they began to mentally discuss it they both had an idea of where the other side was going to go. As Collectors they sometimes got to sample the new tech that was coming out, or sometimes they had to retrieve someone that attempted to steal something like that, and they admittedly grew a bit envious of those that were able to have such things. An opportunity to get something like that they've wanted, not only to augment their abilities but also for the pleasure that came with it, it didn't take much for them to agree that was the way to go.

The Raven printed up the sizable stack of paperwork that was brought in by his secretary, both rubber plant creatures eagerly taking the pens they were given and signing their names on the paper with latex ink. Before their signatures had completely dried the piles of paper were whisked away from in front of them and the Raven gave them both a big smile on his beak. "Welcome officially to the Factory," Raven said as he gave them both a nod. "I don't have any jobs for you at the moment though, but since you're trusted employees you have access to all the facilities so I'm sure that you can find some way to pass the time."

The two were more than happy to do so and after another round of welcomes they almost immediately made a bee-line back towards the garden for a proper celebration. They focused most of their time on the tiger they had brought in before, Tana coiling around the trunk while Serathin took his vines and slithered them through the branches that extended from what were the feline's hands. They could sense the pleasure coming from the other male and though it was supposed to be a punishment they couldn't help but indulge in a bit of play. Of course there was one thing they could do, which was make sure that even though they riled up the trapped tiger they didn't quite give him the release he needed... yet.

After a few hours in the garden they still had not gotten a mission yet and both the rubber plant creatures decided to try and see what else their newfound employment has given them. Eventually they found themselves back on the showroom floor, feeling a slight sense of nostalgia when they remembered wandering around there in disappointment when they had missed the sale. It turned out to be the best thing to have ever happened to them as they continued to make their way around. Without the sale going on most of the stock that was on display was for sale, the two looking at the latest model of pool toy suit.

"Oh my goodness," a voice said behind him, the two turning to see a couple that had come up behind them with both wearing latex catsuits underneath their clothing. "Your suits are amazing! We usually come here once a week, admittedly doing a lot of window shopping, and I have to say that we've never seen anything like that before. Are you one of the displays?"

"Oh no," Tana explained, watching their eyes continue to widen in awe as the petals of his flowers pulled back to reveal his rubber-encased head. "These are some prototype... suits that we had gotten from Raven as part of our job, we're not on display or anything. I think that Raven is still working out the kinks of this particular prototype, so you might not be able to see them for a while."

"Aw, that's too bad," the female lizard said in disappointed. "Of course I don't think we could probably afford something like that anyway, these catsuits are probably the most that we could go in on and even these sort of broke the bank. Do you think that there might be a sale on them eventually?"

"There are plenty of options that you can choose from in reference to a payment plan," Serathin stated, a smile forming on his own muzzle. "If you're looking for a sale just make sure that you read the fine print on the flyer, you'll never know what you might miss out on if you don't come at the right time..."
