A Most Dangerous Game (7/10)
#7 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.

The four heisters waited in the small abandoned basement that used to be part of a bar, Zakerst and San'nauk playing pool on one of the dusty old tables while Anoni worked on his reagents and Mai on her computer. They couldn't risk going outside while waiting for the others to complete their job, once they had regrouped they all disconnected themselves manually from the security grid to make sure that they weren't checked in one of the many random sweeps that occurred right after the attack of the legion. When they did have to go out for something they made sure it was only one person, and that was only after a few hours when things had died down. With the initial adrenaline of the attack and escaping the campus over with boredom had set in while they waited on word for their next move.
"Do you really think they're going to find security personnel that are willing to help us break into their own facility?" Anoni asked the others once he had finished yet another alchemical potion.
"Well if they don't then there's really no reason for us to be down here," San'nauk replied while lining up his shot in pool. "Since Ailsa hasn't returned to us for the last day or so I can only assume that they got a lead or else I'm going to lay into them for wasting our time." Once he had taken his shot, cursing slightly for whiffing it, he turned to Mai. "How about you, any luck on your end?"
"I think that with the information we already have gotten I might have a lead on where the master key is," Mai replied, eyes still glued to the computer screen. "Or at the very least a short list of the most likely spots. If everything goes according to plan we might even be able to finish this without the help of the people in the game, though we would have to be very lucky for that to happen."
The others in the room just nodded and continued on with what they were doing, still just waiting for the signal to move and attempting to fill the time until that happened. What all of them had mentioned was strange at least one point during the day was how much they were getting used to the Symsuits, a lot of times mentioning it when they did something that brought their attention to it like spilling something that easily wiped off the synthetic material covering their bodies. More than once they speculated on what would happen if they just continued to wear them and if this was why they were called corporate drones. Even though the joke caused them all to chuckle there was always a look afterwards that made them wonder if they were even going to give them up once the mission was done.
As night began to fall once more they finally heard the secret knock on the door, San'nauk exclaiming that it was about time as he slithered up and opened it. There they found the stingray holding a rather large box full of food, one that shi had to hold up above hir head to keep both nagas from grabbing at it until shi finally put it down on nearby table. "So they managed to get you a way in," Ailsa explained to them after they had tore into the provisions of fast food that they had told hir to get when shi told them to expect hir soon. "A couple of security guards that they met in the game... which apparently now they formed into a werewolf tribe with or something strange like that."
"Alright then," Mai stated simply. "What's the loadout time?"
"Three in the morning," Ailsa replied, causing the others to look up.
"We're not exactly going to blend in with anyone at that time," Zakerst interjected.
"I'm afraid that I have to agree," Anoni also chimed in. "If we're caught during that time by anyone other than those two security guards then we're not going to be able to talk our way out of this, and I doubt San'nauk can hypnotize an entire regiment of security."
"I mean..." San'nauk stated. "I've never really tried before..."
"That doesn't matter," Mai said, causing the others to stop their murmuring and look over at her. "If this is our only window then we're going to have to take it, otherwise they may start looking for security breaches in the game too and find the exploit, or the legion of the ninety-nine is going to make another attempt to see what was so important that we were working there. Perhaps not all of us go but maybe two or three will be less conspicuous."
"Well if we're going less conspicuous then I'm probably out," Zakerst said as he flexed his muscles. "I'm not exactly the corporate type, at least not for anything but security and they'll be watching that like a hawk."
"I honestly think it should be me," Mai stated. "With San'nauk to help me should I find any problems with other people, otherwise I think that would be enough. Does that sound like a plan San'nauk?"
The colorful naga nodded and the others were in agreement, though some were more reluctant than others to go along with it. In the end though everyone started to plan around the idea and it went long into the night, with Zakerst and Anoni heading back with Ailsa to her place while the other two made their way towards the Frost Arc campus. Once they were finished with their preparations they gave each other one last round of good lucks and parted ways. San'nauk and Mai waited in the basement for a while longer until it got closer to the appointed time before walking out and making their way towards their destination.
As the two made their way towards the Frost Arc buildings they seemed almost dead; the two could only see one or two lights on and no one walking about. Even though it was very late it wasn't uncommon to see some of the employees still there, even when they made their way down the street towards the facility they passed a number of people on the street just making their way through the city. With the legion attack though everyone was likely still confined to their quarters, and that meant that if the wrong people saw them they would need San'nauk's hypnotic ability to hopefully get them out of it. Thankfully they found themselves encountering no one as they got to the door that had been marked out to them in less than a few minutes before the appointed time.
Time seemed to tick slowly as they watched for the red light on the door to turn green and allow them access inside. Even though they had found a small a small alcove in the building to hide in they were still very much exposed, especially if a wandering patrol happened to walk in around that time. When three am finally rolled around and the light had still not turned green they immediately wondered if this was all a trap and looked around nervously while whispering whether or not they should run. It didn't take long however before their fears were proven unfounded as the light turned green and they both quickly pushed their way inside before silently closing the door behind them.
Once they were in the two breathed a sigh of relief, but only a small one as they attempted to remain quiet. The hallway was only lit by the security lighting as they walked down it, both making sure to be careful of the security cameras while they moved further into the building. There were other security measures as well Mai made sure to bypass them, using what they had already gathered for information to help move through the facility towards their destination. They didn't know if the two that had let them in were still watching them, but since the only thing that they had agreed to was opening the door so they didn't want to risk any further incursion just to sate their curiosity.
"Do you think that they would rat us out if they saw us?" San'nauk whispered to Mai as she hacked her way through a keypad using a sequencer.
"You mean the two security guards?" Mai replied while she continued to watch the device do its job. "I suppose they wouldn't, I mean if they find two people inside the facility after letting us in they would be on the hook as well."
"I suppose you're right," San'nauk stated with a shrug. "I'd like to thank them for this but it would be too big of a risk, best to just continue on."
Mai nodded, also wondering who the two security guards could be as she finished up with the sequencer and put it away before opening the door she unlocked and moving forward. When they got on the other side they found themselves in a far more secure area of Frost Arc, the server bays of the data they secured within. It was one of the mostly likely places for them to hide the master key, and since it wouldn't be on one of the main ones that the public had possible access too Mai believed there was a private server bay someone else; it wouldn't be hard for them to stash a private one as well and hook it to the same power and coolant. Unfortunately with the data the company dealt with the server room was one of the most protected areas of the facility and Mai found cracking the system far harder than before.
"Well this is unfortunate," Mai said as she patched her way into a monitoring system that was looking over the entirety of the server area. "They make security scans on a pulse, and if I try to disable the system it's going to set off an alarm."
"I do hate automated systems," San'nauk hissed. "So you can't bypass it at all?"
"Not the scan itself," Mai replied, typing something into her computer as she hacked her way through a few firewalls. "But I think I can keep it from reporting the results out, which normally wouldn't be helpful except that I had a very amorous dragoness upload a mod to my Symsuit that we can actually use here. Now if I can hack back into the suits I think I can become Zemira again... and with the information that I got from her workstation I can find someone for you too."
"So, we get to play the transformation game," San'nauk replied. "It's going to mute my hypnosis but I suppose since there's no one here it really doesn't matter at the moment. Do I at least get to choose my change?"
Mai nodded and showed him a number of potential candidates, all of them working in the server farm area so that it can lend extra viability for them being there. As he scanned through the various employee profiles she also began to hack into the suit in order to try and restore the body of the dragoness. Before she could do so she had to deactivate the snow leopard modification that she had, her rubber body shrinking as she once more became human. At that point she was glad that San'nauk was preoccupied as the rubber Symsuit left little to the imagination while she activated the clone mod.
It took a few minutes but finally Mai gotten everything redirected, letting out a soft gasp as she felt her body begin to grow once again. Though she had already experienced this transformation once she hadn't done it before as a human, leaning forward slightly as her spine once more extended into a thick draconic tail. Shiny rubber scales had started to spread over her smooth skin when she heard San'nauk say that he found the form that he wanted to be, only to stop short when he looked up and saw her body mutating. He watched in wrapped fascination as her breasts swelled slightly and her human face pushed out into a muzzle while her teeth grew sharp and pointed at the same time. Finally her physique rippled up and down with new muscle as her hands and feet became clawed and draconic.
Once her transformation finished she found herself flexing her new muscles, though she quickly stopped and hid herself when she saw the naga staring at her. "Sorry, it's just a very nice form," she said with a nervous grin before swiftly changing the subject. "So did you decide who you're going to emulate?"
"Well unfortunately they don't have any nagas that work in the area," San'nauk stated as he showed her the profile he had picked. "But I figure this one is going to be close enough. Are you sure that it's going to be alright, this is going to be a rather... drastic set of changes."
"If it can turn me into a dragon then it can certainly do this for you," Mai said as she connected to San'nauk's Symsuit. "Just try to relax and let the Symsuit do its work."
Mai noted that it was one of the few times that she had seen San'nauk nervous, likely due to the fact that it was something that he didn't have control over. It wasn't that the naga didn't trust Mai to do a good job but he knew how much he liked to be the one in the lead. Still he had kept it mostly to himself and she gave him a reassuring smile before going to work. After working through her own suit she found it easier to work on his, though the anatomical differences threw her for a little loop she worked her way around it to begin the process.
San'nauk braced himself for what would come next, but thanks to the Symsuit all the bone and muscle shifting immediately felt almost pleasant. The serpentine lower body of the naga began to shrink, two large lumps forming from the rubber pulling back into what would be his legs as the rest of his lower body would become his tail. He had to brace himself against the wall as he felt legs stretch out for the first time, complete with thick toes like that Mai had just grown herself. The rubber scales stretched as the three separate appendages formed where there once was one as the transforming naga let out a hiss.
"Always bizarre..." San'nauk hissed as he wiggled his new toes, feeling his body continue to stretch in order to fit the new frame that he was being morphed into. "Always makes me wonder how you all manage to balance like this. At least I'll be able to use normal stairs I guess."
"I promise that you won't be like this very long," Mai reassured as she watched the frills merge into the rubber of his body, save for his head where his skin began to push out. The transforming naga continued to shake his head as his new shiny cobra hood flared out, the patterning of the one that he was mimicking forming on his body. Just like Mai he looked like a completely different person, the new rubber cobra and dragon looking at one another before they went inside the server room.
The first thing that they notice got when they went inside the server room proper was the cold; even though the servers were locked behind thick glass where most of the coolant was contained it still caused both of them to shiver. It was also deathly silent, even the hum of the computer systems and refrigeration was deadened to leave the only noise coming from the two creatures. Mai used her computer in order to ping the systems, attempting to find the one that might be hiding the master key. It wasn't long until they were let to a place that had far more security than the others and even though it was just marked as an empty back-up they both have done enough heists to know what a data vault looks like.
The two stood outside of the steel door as Mai hacked into the system in order to bypass the biometrics. Though San'nauk was currently using a Symsuit clone of someone that worked in the server room they didn't want to chance an imperfect copy setting off any alarms. The rubber dragoness felt her fingers trembling slightly from the cold as well as nerves as she hacked her way through the rather intensive protocol. It didn't help that every two or three minutes they both felt their rubber bodies tingle from the security pulse that made sure that they were authorized to be there.
Finally after the last layer of security was breached the door opened, the two breathing a sigh of relief once they saw that they had gained access without anyone being the wiser. Inside was a single cylindrical column of metal with various lights blinking on it. The servers were contained within, the metal housing yet another shield that they would have to get through in order to steal the information. Mai knew that she had to be careful at this point since once little slip-up could activate a latent security system and get themselves in trouble.
"This is a problem," Mai said as San'nauk walked up towards him. "If I try to push in anywhere the firewall is going to lock us out and sound the alarm. There's also no biometric lock or any access point except for one, and if I don't get it right on the first try then it'll do the same thing."
"Do you know who the gatekeeper is?" the rubber cobra asked.
"I think that I can figure it out just by running a directory search," Mai explained. "Just keep an eye out while I do it."
San'nauk nodded and looked around while Mai continued to figure out how to figure out who the one who held the password to open the system. For a few minutes nothing seemed to happen, which was a good thing, but then as he turned the corner for what felt like the twentieth time he noticed something that caused him to pause. It looked like a small hole had opened up in the outer metal wall that he hadn't seen before. He looked back and told Mai about the strange anomaly, and when he turned his head back towards the hole he let out a gasp when he saw that it was now occupied with a metal nozzle.
In the next second he found himself falling backwards, letting out a muffled grunt as his fingers went up to the rubber that had just splattered against his snout. He tried to turn around and run towards Mai when the nozzle discharged again, the cobra falling to the ground as his new legs were entangled by the rubber that was now wrapped around them. When he looked down he saw that a long strap had coiled around his shins that failed to budge as he tried to stretch it. Even as he tried to dislodge them the rubber bands continued to grow tendrils that entwined around his legs.
His time as a naga helped serve him as he wiggled his body forward, though having bound legs were far different than his usual serpentine lower body. At the same time the rubber had not only continued to wrap around his head but had also started to infiltrate past his lips to form into a rather phallic gag. He hit the floor once more as the nozzle fired once more and San'nauk saw another strip of rubber hit the side of the metal cylinder. It was clear that it wasn't finished trying to bind him and by the time he got over to where Mai was working he noticed several more nozzles popping out of the wall.
"I almost got it..." Mai said, typing furiously on the keyboard as she watched the names flash by on the screen, only to pull them away when she felt something tug at her leg. "What is... San'nauk?!" Just as the disguised dragoness saw that her friend had tendrils of rubber spreading over her body she felt something hit her back and wrap around her arms. She shouted as she felt the latex squirm around her already synthetic form, particularly when they framed up against her breasts like some sort of harness.
Even though San'nauk was completely gagged at this point Mai could tell from the look in his eyes that he was worried not only about their current predicament but also that they tripped external security. But even as Mai felt more of the rubber straps hitting her body and binding her legs together, one even starting to slither up to her head, all of her monitoring precautions didn't trigger yet. That meant that despite the security protocols going off it didn't send out a signal either, at least not one that she could detect. But then they still had the problem of being more bound by the second, the dragoness and cobra starting to wiggle on the floor as they felt the straps tightening and continuing to bind their arms and legs together.
Just as Mai felt her new wings get bound something flashed in front of her vision, the Symsuit informing her that the straps were not only there to bind but to cause pain as well. She braced herself for it but it appeared that the suit had other ideas; though it appeared it couldn't stop the energy discharge from happening it had subverted and changed it through the aggressive programing buried in the suit that was bubbling to the surface. Mai let out a muffled groan, but it was of pleasure rather than pain as what she assumed would have been a massive electrical shock turned into radiant tingles through her entire body that were specifically targeted towards her erogenous zones. Her breasts bounced in the air as her body wiggled with the stimulation, and out of the corner of her eye she saw that San'nauk was likely experiencing the same conversion of pain to pleasure through his suit as well.
The restrained cobra grunted as he felt the same tingles cascade up and down his body, the straps no longer tightening but still keeping him completely bound. As he continued to try and wiggle his way out he felt the rubber on his head continuing to expand, both his and Mai's eyes becoming coated with the synthetic substance while more of it coated their ear holes. This left the two almost completely helpless, and with no ability to call anyone or even get out of the room they feared their heist was at an end. Mai could almost imagine the next set of guards or employees coming in to see two restrained creatures writhing on the floor from sexual stimulation...
"Looks like you two are in quite the bind," Mai suddenly heard a voice said as the rubber around one of her ears was removed, her body trying to arch up even though she couldn't see. "Perhaps we could land you a hand?"
The rubber dragoness could feel a pair of hands reach behind her head and rip into the layer of latex that had covered her head, allowing her to see once more as she let out a gasp when the gag was removed. When her vision once more adjusted to the light she saw a buff male tiger standing over her with a smile on his face. Before she could ask anything she heard another noise and looked over to see a female wolf standing over San'nauk removing his bindings in a similar fashion. It was then that she saw the patch on the front of the breast of the Symsuit that marked him as an Frost Arc employee.
For a few seconds Mai felt an icy chill as he realized that they were in the hands of security, at least until he saw the name on the tag. "You're... Archimedes?" Mai stated. "How did you know we were in trouble?"
"Falcine and I were doing a routine security scan of the server systems when we saw that one of them had discharged it's secondary power supply," Archimedes explained with a sheepish grin on his face. "To be honest we had been watching to see if you would slip up and be caught on camera, which I have to say that you guys are very impressive. In fact if you hadn't tripped the automated restraints you probably wouldn't have been noticed by actual security."
"So you're Falcine then," San'nauk responded once the bindings had been taken off of his mouth. "We've heard much about you, something about you two having a new pack."
The two security guards blushed slightly and nodded. "You could say that this has definitely been a rather interesting day for us thus far," Archimedes said with a grin. "And it appears that we have put ourselves in a bit of a pickle. You see, normally we would have let you squirm down here and then let someone else discover you, thus preserving our jobs, but then we also realized that with it being lockdown right now you might have been down here for a long time... and Frost Arc might still connect us with the break-in..."
"So we have decided to defect," Falcine replied with a grin. "Thus why we're here to help you."
Mai breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. Though there was a chance that the guards were lying to her it was doubtful at this point, all they would have had to do was what they said or just called it in instead of some elaborate hoax. The guards informed them that they could get the rubber off their bodies but that it was going to take a bit, and before they got started Mai asked if her search was complete on the terminal that she was using. Archimedes stood up and looked over at the computer to see that it had indeed turned up a name, one that she told the two to relay to their pack in order to continue on with the heist before explaining what had to happen next.
"So it appears that we're all waiting down here for the final code..." Archimedes stated once Mai was done. "And we are going to be all alone for a while. Perhaps there is something that we can do to pass the time?"
Mai could tell where he was going as he stopped trying to remove the bands, the dragoness seeing the bulge forming in the tiger's Symsuit. Before he continued further she told him to lean down and whispered something into his ear, something that the tiger quickly relayed to the wolf. Falcine got a big grin on her face before going back to San'nauk, taking the latex that she had taken off his face and putting it back on. The rubber had still been formed in the shape of the cobra and he let out a gasp of surprise as it was fitted to his own snout once more.
"I've been told that you enjoy hypnotizing others," Falcine replied as San'nauk tried to shake the rubber mask off his head. "While I enjoy this myself I know that you would probably ask to let you go, and I would like to have a bit of fun with you first. What do you think Arch?"
"I think that is a wonderful idea," Archimedes replied, winking down at the dragoness as he took a finger and ran it along one of the rubber straps that was framing her breasts and causing her to shudder in desire. "Plus it's the least they could do in order to repay us for saving their bacon here. Not to mention a little extra squirming might help us with those pesky straps that are restraining them."
Unlike San'nauk, who continued to try and remove the mask on his face while the female wolf straddled his thighs, the tiger seemed to find no need to once more put the rubber over Mai's head. This allowed her to watch as he took her restrained body and shifted it into a more comfortable position while the bulge of his Symsuit stretched out into a thick cock that it had released. He used the straps to leverage her body into a better position and began to push the head into her pussy, their synthetic second skin sliding against one another as the bindings around her legs made it impossible to spread them. This caused the shaft of the maleness to rub against her inner thighs and when the dragoness began to moan she was surprised when the muzzle part of the rubber mask slid over her face.
Her muffled moan was mirrored by San'nauk, feeling the female on top of him riding up and down on his rubberized shaft as his bound body attempted to buck up and down. It was unusual for the cobra to not be in complete control of the situation but the rubber continued to keep him restrained and the wolfess was keen to take advantage of that. The two security guards continued to go slowly, neither of them really needing to go fast as everyone built up to orgasm. Though it wasn't quite the rescue that Mai was expecting it definitely wasn't the worst either as the feline continued to thrust into her.
Eventually the two guards did let go of the straps, their groins locked together as best they could while groping the parts of their body they were releasing. Eventually Falcine slipped up and took off the mask, causing her to immediately become enthralled by the cobra as she stared deeply into his eyes. For Mai and Archimedes the tiger continued to rub and stroke her body as he kept her hands bound while removing the ones around her legs to allow easier access. Though she hoped that the others would complete their mission, in the back of her mind she didn't mind if they had to take their time either...
