A Most Dangerous Game (4/10)
#4 of A Most Dangerous Game
A group of criminals finds a means to potentially hijack the sensitive data of one of the most popular games in the world, but requires another team working inside the game in order to pull it off. can these two teams come together and get what they want, or will this spell disaster for one or both of them?
This was an interesting little experiment where I took a fantasy setting and a sci-fi setting and sort of blended them together so that it was sort of like two stories being told at the same time with alternating chapters. Enjoy! Characters belong to their respective owners, will get a list when it's not 4am.

Back in the game Ailsa and Vosh waited at the fire pit that denoted a safe area in the dark woods, both of them looking at the in-game clock while waiting for their new friend to return. They had been going through the quest for a while now and it appeared that the drow was a completionist at heart, which was just fine for the other two since one group had to wait for the other in order to make sure that Ailsa could relay the messages back to the others doing the heist in real life. However it still looked like they were going to have similar times that they would finish, but thankfully after a quick word back to Mai suddenly Zemira had to take an urgent call which allowed enough time for the other side to complete their quest.
It also gave the two time to discuss what they were going to do when it came to getting Zemira to give up any real life information that she has. Unlike Brute, who they identified already as a network admin named Alexander, Zemira was far more tight-lipped about her work and also didn't have the same submissive streak. In fact it was quite the opposite, often times the two were following the orders of the drow as they made their way through the demon-infested woods. The other problem was that she was an extremely competent spell-caster, which meant that they weren't finding a lot of opportunities to turn the tides in their favor.
"I still can't believe she used a meteor strike on that entire tribe of corrupted werewolves," Vosh said as he sharpened his long sword, leaving his short blade off to the side. "I thought for sure we could use their infectious bite and have one of us become alpha to boss her around."
"I think she would probably still boss us around even if we managed to do that," Ailsa replied, leaning back after lighting a cigarette from the flames of the pit. "This may not be where we are able to get information out of the person, we might have to take advantage of the location that person is in."
"Oh?" Vosh asked as the flower bat looked towards the stingray. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well when I was trying to get information out of her before she did mention that she worked from her home," Ailsa explained. "That combined with the ability to see her personal info means that Mai and the others could see where she lives, so they're on their way over there right now. All we have to do is get an invitation in and Mai can use her skills to try and uncover something while I and whoever they bring keep her occupied."
"Sounds like an interesting plan," Vosh stated. "But how do we get her to invite you, much less Mai, into her place if that's where she works?"
The stingray just grinned and took a puff of hir cigarette before snuffing it out on the log shi was sitting on. "We show her a good enough time here that she'll want to continue the party after we fail this mission," Ailsa said as shi reached into hir bag and pulled something out of it. "And we're going to fail the mission because of this little bugger right here."
Ailsa was practically beaming as shi pulled out a small vial with what appeared to be a shiny black substance in it, though as Vosh looked closer he saw the liquid move in a very uncharacteristic fashion. Though he was no mage or bard like his traveling companion he did have an idea of what it was. They were known as symbiote vials, they were like your typical gear power-up but not only did they not take up any armor or utility slots and were also classified as companions for the purposes of fighting or spell casting. Some of the more powerful ones could even transform the user into a powerful creature temporarily, giving them access to new spells or abilities that they would normally not be able to harness.
"I don't get it," Vosh said as he scratched one of his oversized ears. "How is that going to make us fail? Wouldn't it make one of us even more powerful?"
"It would... if this was a normal symbiote," Ailsa explained. "This happens to be a corrupted variant of the symbiote known as the parasite, something I found while exploring the woods while you guys fought off that last round of tree hawks. Normally once someone like myself identifies it as a cursed item they throw it out, but after hearing how the others managed to snag their guy I thought that it might be useful for us to have."
"Well alright then!" Vosh said happily. "Let's just use it then and ambush her before she gets back!"
Ailsa shook hir head at that and tucked the vial back away. "I wouldn't go about it that route," she replied as she looked out into the woods. "If it was one of us she would just either go off on her own or take us down, and considering her power level it wouldn't be too hard, which means that we can't be the ones that get corrupted. However... if she happened to be the one that I accidently give this cursed item too then she would likely stick around and enjoy herself since she couldn't finish the mission anyway. Unfortunately since she's a magic user she probably knows how to identify, which means that we're going to have to wait until I can give it to her in a more subtle fashion..."
The two waited around for a few more minutes until the dark elf suddenly reappeared once more, Zemira thanking them for waiting and telling them that she had to field an urgent call that turned out to be nothing. "Well when work calls you have to answer," Ailsa said as shi and Vosh stood up and got ready. "I can't think of a time when I'm on some intense mission and Frost Arc comes calling me in order to see if I would be available."
"Oh?" the drow replied, Vosh and Ailsa moving forward to hide any hints of their deception as she moved to catch up with them. "I didn't realize that you worked for Frost Arc, I actually do too."
"No kidding," Ailsa replied with a small grin. "Small world, right? I just started working in beta testing a few months ago, what about you?"
"Code analyst," Zemira replied. "So you're a beta tester huh? You excited for the new underwater realms expansion that's coming soon?"
"You better believe it," the stringray said enthusiastically. "So I don't suppose that any of the new levels are your doing? In a way you're kind of like a real-life wizard whose spells happen to work in the game on another level."
"I suppose you could say that," Zemira stated with a small laugh. "But no, I didn't get to work on anything quite as fun as that, my main job is to make sure that DREAM remains stable and to integrate new code into old so that there's no errors. Sometimes I wish I could be in there and test the raw stuff before it comes to market, though I have to admit the early access we get with our employment is nice as well."
Vosh continued to listen to the two talk as they walked the forest path looking around for any potential indicators of hidden loot to help their score. While the gambit of Ailsa claiming to be a part of the company worked out for them to get more information the real reason for bringing up conversation was to provide a distraction while they progressed through the level. The plant bat held up both his swords as he looked for a potential ambush trigger, something that he could use to spawn an encounter. Since his avatar had the plant modifier to it he was looking for plants in particular, ones that might have vines that would be used to restrain the drow.
It didn't take long until he did, even finding an area that was essentially an entangle trap. He looked back over at Ailsa and caught her attention, then motioned at the spot that they needed to lure her into and Ailsa began to steer the drow with various prompts to keep pushing her in the right direction. Vosh quickly moved out of the way and went back behind the two so that he wouldn't get caught up in it as well, watching as the sorceress moved into the spot. Since she was a magic user it was no surprise that she failed the reflex check to get out of the way as plant vines suddenly sprang up from the ground and caught her.
"Really?!" Zemira shouted as she attempted to cast magic only to have a tug from the vines interrupt her as they began to shred her clothes. "Careful, there might be monsters spawning! Vosh, cut me out of here while Ailsa keeps watch!"
Vosh shouted that he would be right there and gave a nod to the stringray, who had more than easily darted out of the way of the trap before pulling out hir bow. Another great part of having the plant creature modifier was that most plant-based things ignored him, which allowed him to get up close and not only start to cut the drow loose but also dump the vial onto her back. With heir naked ebon rear exposed from the vines seeking to pleasure her it didn't take long for the corrupted symbiote to slip inside, Zemira letting out a gasp and shouting for him to hurry as he went back to cutting her loose.
Several monsters spawned up from the ground and Ailsa dispatched them as best shi could with hir bow, then switched to one of hir inspiring songs once Vosh had cut Zemira loose and joined in the fray. With the drow still recovering from her bindings the plant bat had to hold them off, taking out the moss creatures with the whirling slashes of his blades enhanced by the song of their bard. He managed to take down three himself before Zemira once more cleared the playing field using a blast of magic. Once it was clear that they were no longer in any danger Zemira told the two to follow, her serious tone back in her voice.
As the two followed they noticed something that gave them hope their plan was working, the fact that the drow had not used her magic to rematerialize the robes that had been ripped apart by the over-amorous vines. They also began to see something shifting underneath her skin and at first it appeared only on her pert butt, but as they traveled on they saw tentacles branching out of her body under her ebon skin as the corrupted creature took hold. "Is it getting hot for anyone else here?" she stated as she fanned herself with one hand, the other holding onto her breast.
"It is still fairly cool here," Ailsa replied, unable to contain hirself as hir grin widened. "Is that the reason you decided not to wear your clothes anymore Zemira?"
It was the first time that Zemira looked down at herself since the attack of the vines and gasped when she saw not only how exposed she was but also that her fingers were starting to drift down from her breasts to her groin. "Damn vines must have had some sort of lust poison on them or something," she said as she rummaged around her bag. "I have an antidote that cures most toxins, just need to find it. Let's see... where is it... ah, here it-"
The drow's words were cut short as Ailsa saw her pull out her hands and gasp when she saw shiny black claws on them, finally seeing the pulsing tentacles of the corrupted symbiote had spread from her stomach to the rest of her body. "Oh dear, it looks like you may require more assistance than you thought," the bard said as shi stood in front of her, playing along with feigned ignorance as shi saw shiny black scales began to appear on her crotch while her body shuddered with pleasure. "I happen to be pretty good at lore and heal checks, if you give me a moment I will see what I can glean from your condition."
Even though the stingray knew exactly what was going on with the drow shi continued to go through the motions to keep their target in the game. While she wasn't sure exactly how long it would take the corrupted symbiote, which as shi found through hir magic was now classified as a demonic parasite, to ensnare the drow if she leaves before that happens then this was all for nothing. Shi knew that after a certain point once the she was converted completely over to the demon side she probably wouldn't; part of the game to prevent people from just quitting when they were supposed to stick around and convert others in the group. All shi had to do was wait for that tipping point and make Zemira believe there was still a salvageable run until the corruption hit that tipping point.
It turned out that the tipping point wasn't long as Ailsa felt a pair of lips press against hir own while shi was still doing hir assessment, hir eyes opening wide as shi suddenly felt the drow elf's naked body pressed against hir own. This close up shi could see the tendrils of the parasite pulsating just underneath the skin of her head as her already pointed ears began to stretch, turning into fins while two points poked up from her thickening white hair. Their kiss continued for more than a few seconds and as it did Ailsa felt what shi thought was the drow's tongue begin to push down into hir throat. Even though the ruse was pretty much over from the standpoint of saving the drow Ailsa motioned to Vosh, who had been waiting for the signal, to come over as the tentacle tongue began to slide down further into hir throat.
"What do you think you're doing!" Vosh said as he got Zemira's attention, the infested sorceress opening her eyes to reveal they were shiny orbs of pitch black. "I'll save you Ailsa!" Before he could even get close though Zemira held out one of her clawed hands and directed a bolt of magic that hit him square in the chest and caused him to stumble back. As their lips parted for a second Ailsa could see that something spherical was traveling along the already thick base of the shiny rubber tongue, something that immediately was pushed past hir lips as the drow pressed hers against them once more.
Meanwhile Vosh quickly recovered from the magic cast on him, almost scoffing at how weak the attack was as he picked up his blades and moved to charge the drow once more. As he did he noticed that the changes were becoming far more pronounced in the sorceress, her thighs growing bigger while her spine began to push down over her butt until a thick, heavy tail formed. Along with the scales it was clear that the corrupted symbiote had originally been draconic in nature, especially as he saw the normally dainty feet of the elf wiggle and mutate as the flesh swelled with every pulse of the parasite until three thick reptilian feet were there holding up the still feminine body of the drow. He quickly shook his head of the sight of the naked transforming female grinding against his companion and got ready to charge once more until the magic user made her move.
What the plant bat hadn't realized was that she had already done so, watching as a gooey black tentacle appeared out of nowhere and wrapped itself around his wrists. His weapons clattered to the ground and he quickly realized that the magic cast on him wasn't directed at his body, it had been put on his leather armor instead. The goo tentacles that had bound his wrists, and soon after his ankles, had formed from his own bracers and greaves as the former leather ate away at the clothing underneath. With wearing full body armor it didn't take long before he was completely naked, his body able to be seen through the semi-translucent ooze as it began to stretch over him.
Once the living goo armor had completely bound him up it continued to spread over his body, the plant bat feeling it stimulate every inch of his skin as more tentacles began to wrap around his form. It started to become hard to think as lust began to cloud his mind, likely another part of the spell or possibly from the fact that his naked body was almost completely cocooned by the substance. It seemed to know exactly where it needed to go to stimulate the bat too as he wiggled on the ground while his mouth and tailhole were spread open by the tentacles inside him. With nothing else he was able to do he ended up laying on his side trying to thrust his hips forward into the goo encasing his cock while he watched the other two.
At the same time Ailsa had just broken off the kiss with the corrupted drow, mostly because she had started to grow a draconic muzzle that pushed their heads apart. When the stingray was able to pull back shi saw just how much tongue had been inside hir, hir eyes wide as whatever had been deposited inside hir began to grow. At first shi thought that the drow would come after hir again, but as the transforming elf merely continued to watch while fondling hir breasts as more black scales covered hir body shi began to feel something inside hir stomach. Shi quickly pulled hir shirt apart to see something similar to what hir and Vosh had seen happening to Zemira in the beginning as a strange heat radiating from the spot.
"Soon you will see," the drow said in an otherworldly voice as Ailsa found hirself stripping hir clothes off, groaning slightly as shiny black scales began to appear on hir taught stomach. "Let it grow inside you... just... like... me..."
Zemira's words were heavily punctuated by the stretching of her jaw as she panted, practically laughing as scales replaced the rest of her drow flesh. At this point the sorceress could easily have been mistaken for a demon or a dragon as she leaned down and stroked the exposed cock of the stringray. "You can still fight this Zemira," the bard cried out, secretly hoping that shi's not too convincing as shi felt the tendrils of the parasite growing out and causing intense spurts of pleasure rivaled only by the clawed, scaled hand on hir throbbing cock. "Vosh and I can help you, just have to remember yourself..."
The drow stopped and looked over at Vosh, the bat practically writhing on the ground as the goo tentacles growing from his armor had already pushed its way into his stretched hole as well as coiled around his cock. "Ah yes..." she said with a hiss, shaking her head slightly to let the growing white mane of hair cascade down her back where it ran between two growths below her shoulder blades. "I will have to make sure to take care of him, with you joining me soon I can take my time with that one."
"No wait!" Ailsa shouted, holding out hir hand towards the corrupted creature as black claws grew from hir fingertips. "Don't do this!" The changing bard then let out a gasp and arched hir back as shi felt the parasite transform hir dual cocks, pushing them to grow more as the skin turned black and shiny. Shi heard the demon dragoness scoff and turn around, walking over to the bat as shi opened hir slowly blackening eye to watch the whole ordeal while whispers of corruption entered into hir mind...
At the same time Vosh could only squirm as the tentacles that had bound his wrists and ankles had traveled all the way up to his elbows and shins, keeping him restrained as the goo pleasured him from all angles. With his body restrained there was nothing he could do as the demon dragoness walked over to him and put him on his back by shoving him with her thick draconic foot, his eyes going wide as she hovered over him. "Soon you are going to learn the power that comes with your submission," Zemira hissed from her muzzle, Vosh watching as she lowered her pussy down towards his fully erect member. "You will call me... your queen."
There was a muffled moan from the bat as his maleness pressed against those soft folds, feeling the head push inside as demonic energy flowed inside him. Even though he knew this was supposed to be part of the act he couldn't deny how good it felt, his cock swelling with corrupted transformation mere seconds after it had penetrated the female on top of him. As she continued to slowly slide down his shaft she took her hands and brought him up to her breasts, which had grown as smaller scales framed those perfect orbs. She commanded him to suck, the goo pulling out of his mouth as he was brought forward to press his lips against the nipple of the demoness.
As soon as the nub of that tit entered his mouth he felt the corruption flow into him there as well, his muzzle elongating as the demon parasite slid into his body. Almost immediately his eyes began to turn a dark black as horns grew from his head, overwhelming both his bat and plant features as scales formed over his body. As he felt his tongue grow thicker he found himself needing to please the creature in front of him, and not just because the more he did it the more her slick pussy slid up and down his corrupted cock. Whether it was the parasite or just his lust he found himself pushing his growing snout into her breast just to pleasure the draconic demoness even more as her hips moved faster.
"Excuse me..." a voice said, the transformed drow looking up to see another black scaled creature looming over her as Ailsa looked down at her with pitch black eyes. "If my queen could indulge me... I humbly ask that you allow me to join in? I need this so bad and my fingers aren't going to do it."
"Well since you asked so nicely," Zemira said as she caressed hir thigh, seeing her corrupted snatch glistening behind her twin cocks. "My thall, since you know your place you may kneel beside us, and since you have two cocks both of us will pleasure you while I continue to take this one for us. Does this please you?"
"Yes mistress," Ailsa replied, fully getting into the corruption that was being fed to hir. The game didn't need to do much to release hir inhibitions, especially since things were actually going to plan. This was just a bonus as shi knelt down, feeling hir toes bend as they expanded outwards into draconic feet similar to the ones that straddled the bat. Vosh wasn't too far behind, the corrupted symbiote coursing through his system as he dug his clawed hands into the ground.
Even with the demonic entity completely infesting their minds both Ailsa and Vosh both knew that they had a job to do as Vosh and Zemira's muzzles began to nuzzle her dual erections. "It feels so good," Ailsa cooed, watching as their tongues slid up and down his shaft. "If only this wouldn't end..."
"It doesn't have to end," Zemira replied between licks of the shaft. "The corruption that flows within you bonds us both, you will be my thrall for as long as I see fit, basking in the pleasure of infecting others with our lust. You are mine... don't you forget it."
Ailsa and Vosh could both feel the pure dominance radiating from the demoness and they knew that they had done all they could in order to get the former drow elf to carry them along after the fact... aside from giving her as much pleasure as they could while in their corrupted state. The parasite had given them some means of pleasure linking, which meant as Zemira and Vosh began to suck on the transformed stingray's twin cocks they felt a bit of pleasure from their maws on the sensitive flesh. Likewise Ailsa let out a loud groan as she not only received the dual blowjob but could feel both Vosh's cock and Zemira's pussy clamped over it.
Just as they were getting close to their shared orgasm however the environment around them began to darken and all three players knew what that meant; their fun time was over and they were about to be transported back to the lobby. It was exactly what both Ailsa and Vosh wanted, though their sexual haze was intoxicating leaving their fun unfinished would hopefully help spur Zemira to consider what their charismatic bard had to say and invite them over for some real-life fun. Even though their draconic and demonic transformations would soon be at an end they hoped that it would be the start of something much better as everything faded completely to black...
Once the game had reset Zemira, Ailsa, and Vosh all found themselves back at the lobby area, the drow sighing as she immediately went to her private message screen while the other two watched. "Hey Brute, I have some bad news..." she started to say as she bit her lip. "I didn't make it past the forest, so I'm not going to be able to finish the run in time for you to go back to work. Wait, you failed your quest too?"
Though the stringray and bat continued to remain quiet as she continued to talk they both knew this was the moment of truth. If she decided to try again by herself or team up with someone else on her friend's list it meant that all that work was for nothing. "Nah, I'm just going to call it for today then," she said as she looked over at the two. "I think I've found something else that I want to do for the rest of my day off."
"Does that mean what I think it means?" Ailsa said with a smirk as the drow sauntered over to her.
"I think it means that you are a lot of fun to play with," Zemira replied. "Fancy another round?"
"Actually I'm going to need to head into the city soon and get ready for work," Ailsa replied. "I usually arrive quite early so that I can beat the traffic, you know how hard it is to get to Frost Arc from anywhere when the cars start coming out."
"Well... I don't really," Zemira replied with a sheepish grin. "I live in company housing."
"Oh really?" Ailsa stated, getting ready to go in for the killing blow. "Well if you want to keep the party going I suppose we could continue this in real life... if you don't mind of course."
"Of course not!" the drow said hastily before coughing and regaining her normal cool composure. "You and your friend are more than welcome to come over to my place, maybe play around with the real life mods that they just came out with. Would you be able to bring some of the ones that they're using down in beta?"
"Unfortunately they keep them pretty much under lock and key," Ailsa stated.
"Ah, don't worry about it," Zemira said with a shrug. "You and your friend are more than welcome to come over and use mine."
"Sadly Vosh won't be able to make it," Ailsa stated. "However I know a few other beta testers that would be more than happy to come along if you don't mind a party. What do you think?"
Zemira gave Ailsa a smirk and nodded, giving them both her address before logging off. "Looks like it's time for you to go to work in the real world," Vosh stated once the drow was gone. "I'll go join up with the others and tell them where we are in our current plan. If we're lucky they will have found another mark to go after by the time you get done."
"Make sure to give the crocodile my regards if I'm not done with this by then," the stringray replied as shi handed something to Vosh. "Here, I think that you might find that useful, found it in that destroyed village and had it as a back-up plan if the whole symbiote idea didn't work."
Vosh took a look at the black metal amulet before putting it in his inventory with the rest of his gear. "Thanks, I'll tell Magus everything," Vosh said as Ailsa got ready to log out of the lobby. "So do you think that this one is going to provide any useful information? I mean, don't get me wrong, we have a lot of fun in that module but I would like to think that we also did something that was conducive to this mission."
"Hope so," Ailsa commented as shi lit another cigarette. "I have the feeling that we're not done with this game by a long shot."
