A fateful encounter between a tiger and a nanite dragon changes the former's life forever. A commission for Nizzbit where he turns into a nanite creature himself thanks to Vyrnen.


It was approaching dusk in the big city and as such people were in their usual rush to get home after a long day of work or to prepare themselves for a night on the town. The sidewalks were just starting to get a little decongested and the traffic that had been in gridlock was loosening up to allow people to finally start moving. For one tiger in particular it meant that he could get from one street to another without being nearly knocked over as he used the edge of the sidewalk to try and avoid the bulk of the crowd. It didn't help that he was moving against the majority of the traffic in the street as he attempted to get from his workplace to a nearby shop in order to pick up a few things before heading home.

Just as he got to the last street corner and stopped to wait to cross the street, his destination just on the other side, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye that caught his attention. It was a dragon walking down the other side of the sidewalk; while that in itself wouldn't be unusual to most the fact that his skin was practically gleaming in the dying light of the sun made it look like he was wearing some sort of suit or latex paint. He also had bright blue lines on his head and neck that seemed to glow, and while he might continue to assume that's some sort of suit the man was wearing there was still something about it that seemed... off. It was hard to really describe, but everything that the dragon did seemed to give off an unnatural vibe that had caught his attention as he watched him cross the street.

One of the problems with the streets of the downtown area was that with cars parked on the sides it made it hard to see if buses were coming, especially when one of them was a delivery truck that didn't care if it got a ticket for parking in an unloading zone. So when the strange dragon stepped out to cross the street he didn't see the large vehicle pulling ahead in order to unload its passengers, the tiger's eyes widening when he saw it coming towards the person. Though his first instinct was to call out by the time that message reached his mouth it was already too late, the driver not noticing anyone was in front of him and continuing forward as the dragon also saw it and tried to get to the other side. The tiger did find himself darting forward to try and help just as the bus clipped the dragon and knocked him off his feet.

Since the dragon had gotten to the other side of the bus it had propelled him in the opposite direction, right into the tiger that had moved forward to try and help. As the bus screeched to a halt the feline found himself getting practically headbutted by the other person which caused them both to fall to the ground. He let out a loud grunt as they ended up falling by the side of the road, thankfully out of the way of traffic that had just been given the green light as the dragon fell on top of him. A small crowd had started to gather around them as they slowly got to their feet while the bus driver continued to try and pull over in order to see if the two needed help.

Unlike the tiger the dragon seemed to pop right up after getting hit, reaching down to help him after he had taken a second to brush himself off. "Hey, you alright?" he asked as he helped feline get to his feet. "Sorry about that..."

"You shouldn't be the one to apologize," the tiger replied as he got to his feet. "Also shouldn't I be asking you that question? You were the one that was hit by the bus."

"Nah, just grazed me," the dragon said with a sheepish grin. "Name's Vyrnen by the way."

"Nizzbit," the tiger replied as he shook the dragon's hand. "Don't mean to usually run into people this way."

The two had a chuckle at that and once the bus driver came out he immediately checked to make sure they were fine as well. Once it was clear that they both didn't sustain injuries, Vyrnen vehemently declining medical attention when offered, Nizzbit decided to head out while the dragon continued to wait and help the driver fill out an incident report. The crowd that had gathered briefly to witness the spectacle had also dispersed as the tiger hopped up to the other side of the sidewalk to head towards the store, scratching his chest as he did so. As he walked inside he realized that would have been the perfect opportunity to ask about the strange nature of his appearance, though now it would seem strange for him to go back to do so as he grabbed the items he had originally came in for.

When Nizzbit came back out of the store he saw that both the bus and the dragon it had hit were gone, which slightly disappointed him since he couldn't talk more with Vyrnen. He would likely just chalk it up a chance encounter in the city as he began to walk back towards his apartment. As he looked back at the spot where it had happened he found himself itching his chest where the dragon had smashed into him before continuing to his building. The rest of the journey was rather uneventful and by the time he got home it was mostly forgotten as he got into his apartment and began to settle down for the night.

Just as he began to make food for himself he found himself continuing to scratch his chest, to the point where Nizzbit actually realized he was doing it as looked down at his shirt. The impact of the dragon hadn't hit him that hard, he thought to himself, and even if he had injuries because of it he doubted that itching would be one of the symptoms unless he was somehow allergic to something on Vyrnen's hood. After nearly popping a button on his shirt he decided that it was enough for him to go and investigate, turning off the stove before going into the bathroom. It was probably just irritation caused when he fell to the ground, the tiger thought to himself as he went up to the mirror while taking off his shirt.

What he saw beneath the fabric caused Nizzbit's eyes to widen. The white fur of his chest looked like it had melted on him, a large patch of it was shiny and even as he watched it looked like other strands along the edges of it were being absorbed into it. The tiger quickly closed his shirt again and looked at himself in the reflection as he tried to allow his brain to process the information that he just saw. When he opened his shirt again he half-expected to see his fur there again, only to reveal that the shiny patch of white was still there and had started to crawl down towards his stomach.

This was definitely not normal and even without the fact he had seen such material before he knew what had been the most likely cause. After hastily buttoning his shirt and grabbing his coat he left his dinner to cool on the stove while heading back out onto the streets of the city. The shop that he had frequented was only a few blocks from his apartment and though it had been a few minutes it was possible that the dragon he saw was still milling about in the general area. With rush hour over and the streets becoming much less populated the tiger was able to slide between people much easier as he hurried to the spot where the accident had occurred.

Once Nizzbit had gotten back to the spot he found a few people that he recognized as some of those that had gathered around the area and he asked them if they saw where the dragon involved had gone. Quite a few either shrugged or didn't know what he was talking about, but finally a fox man that was playing guitar on the other corner nodded and said that Vyrnen had walked down his street and pointed. He thanked him and hastily made his way in the direction that was given to him, hoping that the dragon had stopped somewhere or taken his time. If he hadn't then the one he was looking for could go down any number of streets and leave him with the strange material on his chest that he could feel still spreading over his fur underneath his coat.

Thankfully the creature wasn't too hard to pick out in a crowd and once he had gotten a few blocks down he actually saw Vyrnen talking to someone outside of what appeared to be a noodle shop, causing the tiger to breathe a sigh of relief as he made his way over once more. By the time he had gotten there it appeared the dragon had finished up his conversation and was actually walking towards him, the sabertooth dragolf going the other direction as he came up to him. "Oh, hey Nizzbit," Vyrnen said with a grin, though as he saw the tiger flustered and panting slightly his head tilted in curiosity. "You alright?"

"Uh, I don't know actually..." Nizzbit said as he looked around. "I think... something happened to me when we collided. It's a bit hard to explain so I think I should just show you."

Nizzbit took his shirt and pulled it down enough so that Vyrnen could see white material that was similar to his own scales, the tiger not having to go too far down as the strange assimilating substance had almost reached his shoulder by this point. "Oh... oh dear..." the dragon said as he reached forward and touched the affected area of the tiger, Nizzbit shuddering slightly as it felt like he had gotten a static shock from the contact. "I apologize, I should have sensed that something had happened but I was still a little disoriented with getting hit by the bus."

"Fair enough," Nizzbit stated as he quickly pulled his shirt back up. "So you know what's happening to me? You can help?"

The dragon nodded and looked around like the tiger had before turning back towards him. "I really would prefer not to discuss this out here in the open," Vyrnen stated. "Let's go back to my place where I can discuss things a little further, or if you want I can give you my address and you can come over later. Given the state that you're in currently however I would suggest doing the former rather than the latter, especially since it seemed to be advancing at a rather rapid clip."

Nizzbit found himself swallowing hard at the implication of such a thing, even though the tone of the dragon was rather neutral. Since he had nowhere else to be he opted to follow Vyrnen home, the two of them heading down the street until they reached the next subway station. It appeared that the tiger had been fortunate in catching up with the other male, finding out that he lived in an entirely different section of the neighborhood and was typically out traveling. Even though he tried not to think about it while they traveled Nizzbit couldn't help but continue to feel whatever was on his chest starting to tickle against his sides as more of his fur disappeared underneath the mysterious substance.

Eventually the two reached their destination, Vyrnen leading Nizzbit to one of the larger buildings in the area and headed up to a large loft. It was an old warehouse that had been refurbished to be an apartment, the dragon explaining a friend of his had turned him on to the usage of such places before telling the tiger to make himself comfortable. Nizzbit nodded and took a look around, noting that other than a bed, a desk with a lot of computer equipment on it, and a sofa with a television in front of it the rest of the place was rather spartan in terms of furniture. He ended up gravitating towards the couch and sat down while waiting for his host to finish up with whatever he was doing.

"Alright, now that we have a little more privacy," Vyrnen stated as he handed Nizzbit a drink before sitting down on the opposite couch. "It appears that we swapped more than just our names when that bus hit me. From what I can see some of my nanites have transferred onto your fur and were knocked askew enough during impact that they started to transform you."

There was a moment of silence between the two, Nizzbit just staring at the dragon as he became suddenly acutely aware of the glass in his hands. "I'm sorry, what?" the tiger finally asked. "You have nanites?"

"I am nanites actually," the dragon replied simply. "I'm sure that you've noticed by now that I don't look like most people out there, and though most people just think that I have on some sort of suit or elaborate make-up the truth is my body is technically a swarm of sentient nanites that make up the creature you see in front of you. Normally they tend to stick to me and I have total control over them, though I can give them to others, however it appears that circumstances have dictated that now you are in possession of a few that have started to convert your body into something a little less... organic in nature."

"Hold on here for a second," Nizzbit said, holding up his hand to stop the nanite creature from explaining anything else as he gave himself a second to wrap his head around the information he was being given. "So just for my own confirmation, you are a creature that is made of tiny, microscopic machines that you transferred to me, and now they're turning me into you? Like, I'm going to be a robot dragon or something?"

"Mmmm, while seeing an exact duplicate of myself would be interesting that is not going to be the case," Vyrnen replied with a slight smirk. "The second that we rammed into each other I completely lost control of those nanites, so while you are going to be turning into a creature much like myself as far as composition you'll probably still be a tiger... probably."

Once more Nizzbit found himself shocked by the information and as he was about to ask what that meant he felt his back twitch that caused a visible tremor to go through his body. Vyrnen quickly stated to remove his clothing so that he could see just how far along the process was, and though the tiger hadn't imagined that his day would end up with him getting naked in someone else's apartment the situation dictated that it was going to happen. As he fully removed his shirt both of them could see that the nanites had completely assimilated his chest and stomach, leaving him with smooth, shiny skin that was similar to the dragon examining him. Even as the tendrils of the substance could be felt against his back the tiger found himself more focused on how the nanites seemed to be seeping into his muscles, giving them more definition as it traveled up his neck.

When asked why there wasn't any details like on Vyrnen's body such as glowing lines the nanite dragon explained that the tiny machines were only working at the surface level and weren't going to go much further into his body. While the news that he wasn't going to fully become a robot or whatever was happening to him relieved the tiger that still meant that his entire body was probably going to go the same route as his chest, feeling it starting to accelerate as it covered more of him. Whether it was the presence of the other creature or the fact that it had already gotten most of his torso the nanites had started to cascade down his legs, quickly enveloping the fur and leaving him with a shiny, smooth body that took on the coloration of it as it assimilated. Soon there was more metallic substance then there was flesh as Vyrnen instructed Nizzbit to lie down since they were nearing his head and the changes there were usually quite disorienting.

"Now we can go ahead and get you done all at once right now," Vyrnen continued on as Nizzbit noticed that his fingertips were also starting to turn shiny and silvery in nature, the same thing happening to his toes to give his hands and feet an otherworldly appearance while still attached to his body. "Or we can do this far more gradually in order to get you acclimated to the strangeness that is your new form being comprised of nanites. It's up to you really, rip the band-aid off or slowly walk into the pool."

It was clear that there was no option to reverse the process, the tiger realized as he continued to feel the nanites processing flesh and bone into more of the tiny microscopic machines. Transform right away or let it gradually happen... admittedly despite the surreal nature of watching his hand turn to silver past his wrist there was no pain or any discomfort, in fact it felt somewhat pleasant while it was happening. When he brought up the sensations to Vyrnen he gave the transforming tiger a small smile and said that the nanites had already infiltrated his nervous system in order to make sure the process was as easy as possible other then the mild disorientation of becoming a swarm of nanites connected by a singular consciousness. Eventually Nizzbit decided to go the slow and steady route as he already began to feel slightly dizzy, feeling something drip out of his nose that was a small droplet of excess nanites that were bouncing around inside of his skull to ensure a smooth transition.

"So... what do I do now?" Nizzbit asked as Vyrnen put a hand on his chest, watching the spread of the metallic substance that had been gaining in intensity immediately slow to a crawl even as it continued to assimilate him. "Just go home and wait for this to happen?"

"That would not be wise," Vyrnen stated as he went over to a nearby chest and pulled out several pillows and blankets. "You can stay on the couch tonight; while I normally don't have guests here I like to be prepared for the possible eventuality. Even with stagnating the growth of the nanites you probably only have about a day or so before you're completely converted, and unless you have something you needed to do for Saturday we can get you used to your new form before you leave."

"I'm going to have to learn how to use my own body?" Nizzbit asked while he watched the nanite dragon making up his couch to be slightly more like a bed. "Wouldn't it just be like downloading some sort of program into me or something that I can do it?"

"I mean... we can certainly do that if you want," Vyrnen replied, giving the tiger an evil grin. "Of course if we do that then I'll probably just be overriding your personality and probably your physical form so that you're a copy of myself. If that's what you want we can-"

"No no," Nizzbit quickly interrupted, putting his silvery hands in the air. "Learning on Saturday is fine, not sure how I'm going to sleep though."

"Sleep will probably be the easy part once your assimilation has progressed sufficiently," Vyrnen explained, his grin still on his muzzle. "When that happens however you'll probably have to deal with a... slightly different issue, which if you need help with feel free to come to me. Otherwise I would recommend lying down and relaxing while the conversion takes place so you don't bump into anything."

Nizzbit nodded and did what the nanite dragon told him to do, lying in the surprisingly comfortable bed that had been made for him before being handed a remote. It looked like it hadn't been used in ages and Vyrnen explained that nanite creature usually don't need such things, but just like the bedding he had kept it around for guests. The two exchanged a bit more conversation before Vyrnen got up and said he was heading to bed, once more reminding the tiger that if he needed anything that he was right across the room towards an area with makeshift walls that separated it from the rest of the warehouse loft.

As the night progressed Nizzbit found himself tossing and turning on the couch, the sleep that had been promised to him remaining elusive as minutes turned to hours. He could literally feel his fur melting into his body and his insides shifting like they were made of liquid, though in reality they were being turned into more nanites that aided in his transformation. Though he felt it progressing somewhat quickly his arms and legs had only been changed up to the joints of his elbows and knees while the silver splotch on his chest had just covered his pectorals and was creeping towards his abs. While he couldn't see it himself he also began to feel a tingling sensation on his muzzle and ears that indicated they were likely changing as well.

Just as he thought that his changing body couldn't get any weirder he suddenly felt something that nearly caused him to go cross-eyed for a second, catching his breath as his hands instinctively went from the remote he was about to use to turn on the television to his groin. At this point he only had on his boxers, and when he looked underneath the blanket that had been coiled around him he saw what had caused the sudden feeling that nearly caused him to fall off of the couch. He saw that the pink flesh of his cock had poked its way out of the front hole, and not only was it fully erect but had started to turn the same silver as the rest of his body. While in the back of his mind he knew something like this would be happening he hadn't expected the pleasurable sensation that would come with it, especially when a similar feeling was going on around his tailhole.

As the sensations continued to strengthen while he laid there the restlessness that he had been experiencing before only continued to grow, along with a need that he hadn't encountered before. It was an increased desire, a lust that caused his fingers to wrap around his changing member even as his mind reminded him that he was in the room of another. The offer that the nanite dragon had given him floated back to the forefront of his mind and it suddenly clicked that the other male knew exactly what was going to happen when his groin would be assimilated. As his shaft completely turned into a shiny silver the transforming tiger found himself getting up from the couch and walking over towards the other side of the building were Vyrnen's bed was.

"Was wondering when you were finally going to wander over here," Vyrnen said from the bed, the nanite dragon laying there naked with a grin on his face.

"So you knew this would happen all along," Nizzbit replied, finally pulling his hand away when he realized that the entire time he was still stroking the silver member that was fully erect. "Why didn't you just say that I would be coming over here eventually?"

"Trying to explain to someone that hadn't gotten to that point yet that they were going to get so horny during their assimilation can be a rather daunting experience," Vyrnen stated with a shrug. "Plus every once in a while it doesn't happen, the nanites merely numb the pain of the changes rather than target the pleasure center like they're supposed to, but since it appears things are progressing the way it should why don't you lay down here and let your progenitor take care of you?"

Nizzbit found himself swallowing heard as he nodded and slowly slid into the spot where the dragon told him too, the tingling sensation in his body growing as the nanites inside him appeared to be approaching critical mass. By this point patches of the silver had broken out all over his body, replacing his fur in most places as he could feel his insides shifting and churning. Like what the nanite dragon had said there was a strange sense of pleasure that came from the transformation, knowing now that they were in his brain as well manipulating his senses so that he would enjoy himself even as the silver substance changed every cell inside of him into more of the robotic creature. Vyrnen seemed ready to provide him with another distraction however as the white dragon grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him down onto his back.

As the glowing blue and black eyes stared down at him Nizzbit noticed an almost hungry glint in the dragon's eyes, the glowing blue lines and hexagons on Vyrnen's body glowing even brighter as he hovered over the top of him. Were the changes in his body affecting his newfound friend too, the tiger wondered, though those thoughts were quickly replaced by the sensation of something pressing up against his inner thigh. When the tiger looked down he saw that the glowing, ridged member of the dragon had already started to lower itself down as he wiggled between his thighs where eventually it disappeared.

"One of the nice things about being a nanite creature," Vyrnen stated as the head of his cock pushed between his silvered cheeks. "No need for prep."

The tiger immediately realized what the dragon meant as he suddenly felt the ring of muscle get stretched open, his insides immediately giving way to allow the nanite dragon to penetrate him. The sudden sensation from being impaled by several inches of the thick, throbbing member caused the tiger to buck upwards, and as the dragon spread him open the nanites underwent a radical shift in their transformation. While before they were merely turning the tiger into a silver version of himself the parts of his skin that had already been assimilated deepened into black instead, spreading over his body like wildfire as Vyrnen continued to push inside until he was almost hilted. Though it was clear his tailhole was highly adaptable the dragon stopped once he had completely hilted the tiger, the two males panting despite both no longer needing to breathe.

"You are... very deep..." Nizzbit managed to say as the new sensors in his hindquarters was able to pick up on every detail of what was inside of him, the darkened nanites starting to leak out of his nostrils and ears as his head and face began to feel the shift of skin.

"Could go even further if you wanted," Vyrnen replied with a slight smirk. "You got to start thinking like a nanite creature, our forms are highly mutable... though for the moment you just want to focus on your assimilation. We can talk more about the other stuff tomorrow once we're done here."

It was clear from the tone of voice that the nanite dragon was just getting start, sliding out and causing the tiger to let out a loud moan as the last vestiges of his fur were being covered by the shiny black metallic skin. Like Vyrnen glowing lines also began to appear on his body, though they glowed with an orange light instead of blue like the dragon starting to thrust into him. Though he couldn't see it Nizzbit's eyes began to get glassy and glow with the same orangish-yellow light as the stripes that were forming on his body, his ears and muzzle turning slightly more angular as the black metal coated his teeth and tongue. With all his focus on his body being rocked back and forth by the dragon on top of him and their smooth, almost frictionless forms rubbing against one another as Vyrnen's pace increased the assimilation was almost pushed to the back of his mind as both enjoyed the enhanced sensations coming from one another.

It wasn't long before both Nizzbit and Vyrnen came at the same time, the nanite dragon introducing a fresh batch of nanites into the new nanite tiger beneath him in order to solidify his transformation and make sure that every last organic bit of him was changed. With their lusts satisfied both of them laid against the bed staring at the ceiling, the glowing of their bodies illuminating the wall around them as Vyrnen pulled out after a minute of recovering. The two creatures didn't speak, especially not the tiger that had started to become accustomed to how his body felt as most of his body had changed in the midst of the act. When he looked down at himself, his vision much better than when he had first wandered over there, he ran his hands over his form in awe at how different he looked now then when he had first come into the loft.

With the aid of the nanite dragon his design had taken on similar aspects of the nanite dragon that had just aided him, his torso and lower jaw a slightly lighter shade of black then the rest of his body while orange lines outlined the areas. He also had a few hexagons in a similar coloration around his form, though his body was mostly dominated by the glowing stripes that were also on his head. Though Nizzbit wanted to examine himself further the dragon put a hand on his chest to keep him pinned to the bed, telling him that his form was still a bit... gooey, and that he should wait before standing and moving around. Vyrnen punctuated the fact by taking one of Nizzbit's fingers and bending it all the way to the back of his hand, which was enough for the nanite tiger to stay there and find that the sleep that had been promised to him did in fact come easily after all that.

When Nizzbit awoke again he quickly realized two things; that he was alone in the bed that he had slept in and that the transformation he had experienced the night before was not some sort of dream. Almost immediately every aspect of his new body kicked in all at once. At first it was almost overwhelming and was thankful for the fact he was laying down as the entire room spun around him, but after a few seconds it seemed everything calibrated back to the way that it was supposed to be and he found himself seeing things sharper than ever before. Everything about his senses were actually heightened as he slowly stood up, feeling the pressure of his body against the floor so he could stand better while his new nostrils were able to smell exactly what Vyrnen was cooking in the nearby kitchen. No longer feeling the fatigue that had come from his body being assimilated Nizzbit made his way towards the bathroom in order to finally look at his new form fully.

As soon as the nanite tiger got in front of the mirror he gasped, taking a step back as a completely alien, or rather robotic face looked back at him. Once he had gotten over the initial shock of what he had become he took another step forward, his curiosity quickly overwhelming everything else as he began to open and close his new muzzle. It appeared the nanites were not finished after he had gone to sleep, seeing that the lighter black parts of his metallic form had turned purple. It was especially prevalent in his mouth as he stuck out his tongue, blushing slightly as it slid out much further then he was used to and was even possible as it snaked out into the air for a few seconds before retracting back. His inner ears also appeared to have gotten the same treatment as well as his eyebrows and nose, highlighting his feline features as he continued to examine himself.

"First they always do is check themselves out in the mirror," a voice behind Nizzbit said as he turned to see Vyrnen looking at him with a grin on his face and his arms folded across his chest. "I'd ask you how you were feeling but considering the spring in your step I think that you're doing quite well with your new body. Does anything happen to feel amiss while you stand there and admire yourself?"

Once more Nizzbit felt the flush of embarrassment at being called out like that, knowing that the nanite dragon had been there watching as he had looked at himself. Much like Vyrnen the nanites in his body had adopted an athletic appearance, once that was accented by the glowing lines of his body that highlighted everything about his new form. He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that when he ran his fingers against his body it wasn't furry, instead sliding effortlessly against the metal skin that he had instead. It was also at that point he realized he was completely naked, though Vyrnen seemed to notice his epiphany and told him that nanite creatures rarely concerned themselves with such things when not out in the public and to just hide himself if he was self-conscious about it.

It took the tiger a few moments to realize what Vyrnen was talking about until he noticed that there was nothing visible between his legs, and after a very quick tutorial he found himself able to do the same. It gave him some semblance of decency instead of just walking around the loft completely naked. Much to Nizzbit's surprise the idea of putting his own clothes back on didn't seem to be desirable to him anymore, especially since they would be ill-fitting at this stage in the game. The dragon told him that since they were nanites they could essentially make their own clothes, or the facsimile of them, and to try and put on any layers on top of that would be redundant. Nizzbit just nodded as he sat down at the table and was presented with a plate of food that he eagerly consumed while Vyrnen sat down opposite him.

"You're going to find that you'll still have an appetite for a few weeks or so," Vyrnen explained while the tiger ate. "Eventually you'll get the hang of figuring out exactly when and how much you need to eat, but for now you're going to have to go with your gut feeling so to speak. It's the same with other sensations that you used to have, for the next few days at least you'll experience phantom versions of them until your new brain gets used to the new way it processes information."

"New brain?" Nizzbit replied after swallowing the mouth full of food. "So I have a computer in my head or something?"

"Not quite," Vyrnen stated with a small chuckle. "Technically your entire body is a computer, the nanites that you have become all operating like a hive-mind to give you a consciousness. It's something that takes a little time to wrap your head around the concept of so even with your boost in comprehension it'll take some time to absorb into your programming."

"It still sounds like I've turned into a robot or something," Nizzbit said as he gestured with his fork towards the nanite dragon. "While I'm not complaining either way I guess I'm still just confused on the differences. I guess what I'm asking is what can a nanite creature do that a robot can't, if you know what I'm saying."

Vyrnen nodded and stood up from the chair, closing his eyes as he seemed to concentrate. As Nizzbit watched his glowing eyes widened when he saw the white body and blue lines of the creature start to shift and change. The already muscular form of the dragon began to swell as his body began to turn black like his own, though unlike the tiger the new skin had a rubbery texture to it as the lines of his form started to glow with a bright red. The horns on his head cured back slightly and turned silvery grey in nature as his entire body bulked up to the point where he could easily stand head and shoulders above the tiger. When he opened his eyes again one of them had remained green while the other was a bright red as he looked down at Nizzbit with large grin.

"Whoa..." was all Nizzbit could think to say as Vyrnen's form shrank back down while the white and blue of his body manifested once more. "When do I get to learn a form like that?"

"You can't," Vyrnen said simply with a shrug of his shoulders. "That was a form that was given to me by a friend of mine, but it illustrates my point that we can significantly alter our appearance if we want to. Once you're done with breakfast we can go through a few things so that you can't say I didn't release you into the world unprepared."

Though Nizzbit was still keen on what Vyrnen had transformed into the nanite dragon kept any more information about it close to his chest, instead talking to the tiger on everything he was going to feel differently now that he was a nanite creature instead of normal flesh and blood. For the tiger it was still hard to comprehend all the data that was being given to him on how his new body operated while he finished his food. Once he was finished the dragon told him that it would be time for some practical training, leading him over towards an area of the loft that was mostly empty. When they stepped inside Nizzbit could immediately feel a tingle run through his entire body, and when he looked over to Vyrnen he saw the dragon shiver slightly as well.

"I specifically designed this area in order to help with certain instabilities," Vyrnen explained as he motioned for Nizzbit to stand in the middle of the area where a blue circle had been drawn on the steel floor. "As a nanite creature you're going to have to deal with things that you would have never dealt with in your previous form. Since I don't need what are still essentially my nanites running amok I'm going to teach you how to harden yourself against such attacks against those that may want to try and hijack you."

"Wait, that can actually happen?" Nizzbit said in slight shock.

"You'd be surprised what a willful technomancer can do to you if you're not prepared for them," Vyrnen replied with a slight smirk before tapping his foot on the metal floor. "But in any case, let's see just how good you can defend against an attack that targets every single nanite in your body without you knowing."

Though the tiger wasn't quite sure what to expect when it came to an attack like that he prepared himself mentally as best he could, waiting for whatever Vyrnen was going to throw at him. As the second seemed to pass however it didn't seem like anything was happening as the dragon continued to just stand there and stare at him. When a minute passed Nizzbit started to get confused, especially since he looked down at himself and his surroundings only to find nothing had happened. "So... what am I looking for exactly?" He finally asked, which caused the dragon's muzzle to split into a slight grin.

"Alright, admittedly I was very sneaky for your first time," Vyrnen replied. "But you have to expect the unexpected if you're going to keep that pretty form of yours. If you don't then you might find someone changing you to their liking instead..."

When Nizzbit still wasn't sure what the nanite creature was talking about the nanite dragon chuckled again and flared out his wings, and suddenly the tiger felt something pull against his back muscles as he found himself doing the same. He gasped as he looked behind him to find two very draconic wings stretched out behind him, orange hexagons and lines glowing in the otherwise black and purple membrane. When he stretched his neck he quickly found that wasn't the only thing that had changed either, looking to see his thicker reptilian tail swinging lazily behind him as the same symbols appeared on that as well. As Vyrnen explained the more his nanites altered him the less resistance he would have to it he watched as his body shrank back to its normal stage, now acutely aware of the changes as his entire body shuddered from the wings pulling back into him while his tail thinned back into its former ropy state.

"You're having a lot of fun with this, aren't you," Nizzbit grumbled as he double-checked to make sure the dragon wasn't doing anything else to him.

"I am," Vyrnen admitted with a smile. "But it's also to help you in the long run, not to mention you also are being introduced to your body changing so you can make alterations to it in the future. While I think you are handsome as you are I'm sure you're going to want to have your own style, or multiple styles, but for the moment why don't we make my next move a little more obvious so that you can actually counter it. I'm going to put a little more power into this one and trip you up, just so you're aware."

With the previous lesson and the sensations that came from it still fresh in his mind Nizzbit once more tried to ready himself for whatever attack Vyrnen had planned for him. As the nanite dragon had explained this one was far more obvious then the last, the tiger feeling his hands start to tingle and shift of their own accord. Claws grew from his fingertips and webbing began to appear between the digits as he attempted to fend off the changes, feeling the nanites responding to the attack on him by attempting to reassert his original hands. But as the stripes on his forearms began to shift from orange to blue and the black of his metallic fingers turned white something else happened that quickly knocked him off-balance.

While his focus had been on his hands Nizzbit failed to realize that something else was happening to him, Vyrnen causing his cock to reemerge once more. Already it was clear that the nanite dragon had altered it, forming glowing blue ridges on it similar to the one on the other male as his hands drifted down towards it. Suddenly the objective was to no longer try and stop the transformation from happening but to stop his fingers from reaching the goal they were clearly trying to obtain. It seemed Vyrnen had gotten one up on him though as he felt the surreal sensation of his fingers flexing without his telling them too as they went down and wrapped around his hardened member.

The pleasure that came from touching the altered flesh caused Nizzbit to nearly buckle right there, especially when it became clear that the dragon had altered his shaft not only physically but also had heightened its sensitivity. As the white metal overwhelmed the black of his muscular arms it became harder to resist the movement of stroking himself, biting his lip as he tried to do what the nanite dragon wanted but losing ground every step of the way. When he looked back up to try and ask Vyrnen what he was supposed to do he saw that the other nanite creature wasn't there, only to suddenly find someone grabbing at his thighs. When he looked down again Nizzbit gasped slightly to find the dragon between his legs, his own hands wrapped around the horns of the other male as he saw that muzzle pressing against his erection.

Before Nizzbit could ask him what he was doing the dragon opened his maw and wrapped the thick spire with his tongue, causing the nanite tiger to experience a cascade of pleasure as he began to feel other parts of his body start to warp. As Vyrnen began to slowly draw up and down on him the feline could feel his feet starting to pop and shift, growing more draconic as they expanded with new growth that felt almost as good as the blow job he was getting. Though the sensations were intense and extremely pleasurable he continued to try and do what he had been told to do, but every time he thought he had gained back control of one of his fingers the dragon between his legs would go so deep that he could see the outline of his member in the throat of the other male and cause him to completely lose concentration. This definitely wasn't a fair fight, Nizzbit thought to himself before he once more got lost in the haze of pleasure coming from his own body.

"Most creatures that are going after you tend not to fight fair," Vyrnen stated, though his voice was not coming from the dragon and even if it had it would have been quite the feat considering the cock that was buried deep in his maw. When he managed to tear his eyes away from his groin and looked around his eyes widened when he saw Vyrnen standing in the same spot he had been before, giving him a small wave as he watched the nanite tiger stare at him in befuddlement. "Enjoying yourself?"

"But... how..." Nizzbit started to say before he looked back down and saw that there was nothing there even though he was still experiencing the sensations of smooth lips and a warm maw and throat pressing against his throbbing member. "It was all an illusion?"

"A trick of the senses," Vyrnen explained as he snapped his fingers, Nizzbit's body returning to normal while all the feelings he had been getting fed disappeared as well. "While organics can also have a somewhat similar experience when someone is connected to you they can literally feed you false sights, sounds, smells, and as you are now acutely aware of tactile sensations as well. Now to be fair I'm sort of throwing you into the deep end on this one since I doubt you will encounter many that can fool your sensors to the extent I did, but it also helps for you to note that much like a computer they will try and overwhelm your nanites so that they can slide in while you're distracted to do things to you."

"I see..." Nizzbit replied, breathing a slight sigh of relief as the last of the changes left his body and he was once more staring at his original body. "It sounds like there's more to being a nanite creature then I had originally anticipated... though what you say makes perfect sense of course. Now I'm wondering if I can handle all of this."

The nanite dragon went up to Nizzbit and patted him on the shoulder. "I think you'll be just fine," Vyrnen reassured. "As I said I'm sort of giving you the hard stuff in order to help acclimate you; by finding things in the training that you can sense it's going to be much easier to spot if some amateur attempts to do it to you. But... before we continue on, do you want to see something fun that your new body can do?"

Though Nizzbit was unsure of what Vyrnen possibly meant by that he found himself nodding, the grin on the nanite dragon growing wider as the tiger began to feel an increase of pressure from the hand holding his shoulder. When he looked to see what was happening the nanite tiger's eyes widened as he saw the fingers of the dragon sinking deep into body! As he was about to ask what was happening Vyrnen quickly brought up his free hand and pressed it against the tiger's muzzle to silence him. It was clear to him that the dragon didn't want his surprise to be spoiled as he thought that the hand would disappear completely inside of him, only to feel his own body starting to get pulled over the exposed white and blue arm.

The sensation was as if his body was being pulled like taffy, the tiger thought to himself as he watched the black and orange of his form starting to flow over and completely coat the dragon's arm, particularly when he felt his own suddenly reach up and grab the same shoulder of the other male. It was clear that Vyrnen had taken control over his form again, particularly the side of his body that was continuing to creep over his draconic body. At first Nizzbit thought that they were going to merge or something of that nature, but as his arm completely enveloped the one that had grabbed him he found that his body was still on top of the dragon, almost like he was coating him like some sort of strange suit. From the small not he suddenly got from Vyrnen it appeared that his thoughts were correct, though he didn't have long to dwell on it as the white and blue creature suddenly moved forward and pushed Nizzbit against the wall.

As soon as their chests pressed together Vyrnen sank into his malleable body like it was made of putty, the tiger gasping and squirming from the surreal sensations of another creature pushing into him while his own began to form around it. As black metal oozed over the dragon Nizzbit also found himself feeling their combined arm start to twitch, and as he curled the fingers of it he saw that he was able to do so quite easily. While he was coating the dragon he was being allowed to control their shared form, which grew more intense by the second as they grew closer together with every second. Though the dragon was slightly bigger than him it mattered little for the nanite tiger, especially as Vyrnen pressed his feet and legs into him so that they would quickly become enveloped as well. Soon tentacles of Nizzbit's body were spreading completely over the dragon's form as Vyrnen disappeared inside of him... though soon the bigger male began to manifest in the stretched creature's body.

Since Nizzbit was the one covering Vyrnen like a suit several of his larger features, including his draconic tail, feet, and wings were going to remain part of their shared form. As the black spread over the white membranes and blue markings of their increasingly shared form the feline once more felt the sensation of the heavy appendages as though they were his own, giving them an experimental flap while they still had three legs between the two of them. Though Vyrnen was the one drawing Nizzbit over him the tiger still was able to keep some of his feline features, notably the glowing orange stripes even as he took over more of the dragon's body. Their combined mass also resulted in their physique growing more, gaining several inches of height as the nanites of the tiger's body sculpted themselves perfectly around the dragon to give a seamless integration of their forms.

When it finally came time for the last of their bodies to become one, their heads, Vyrnen suggested that he be the one to wiggle inside of Nizzbit since it was the most disorienting part. The nanite tiger nodded his head in response, but midway through he suddenly found his neck stiffen as the same pressure as he felt with the rest of his body began to travel up to his head. Though he couldn't see it the dragon had pushed his muzzle into his throat and began to travel upwards, sliding his draconic head inside of the tiger's like one would with a costume or mask. As expected it was extremely disorienting for Nizzbit to feel someone else's muzzle move inside his own, even feeling the longer snout of the other male push past his lips briefly before his own melted over it and covered it just like the rest of his body while he felt the horns of the nanite dragon push out behind his still feline ears.

Though the process had only taken a few minutes Nizzbit had experienced every second like it had been stretched as much as his body had. When the last of his black nanites were pulled over Vyrnen he found that most of the dragon was still present, his features being more pronounced than his own feline ones as he reached up and touched his new muzzle. "That was... definitely something," Nizzbit said, hearing his own voice despite feeling it come from the throat of the dragon that had pulled him onto his form. "So nanite creatures can take over others like that?"

"It's one of the more fun aspects of our form," Vyrnen replied, Nizzbit's eyes widening as he felt his own muzzle move once more only to have Vyrnen's voice come out of it. "Since you're new to this I felt like a full merge would be a little overwhelming, so instead I had you do what would normally happen with organics that you fancy taking control of. Or, if you're feeling particularly subby, you can have them do it to you instead."

Suddenly Nizzbit felt his own body moving without his say, watching as his arms and legs flexed and stretched from Vyrnen's influence. The two remained in that state for a while before Vyrnen pulled themselves apart once more, the tiger's body reforming next to him after they had gotten their fun in. The nanite dragon continued to train Nizzbit for the rest of the day until it had turned into night, the tiger attempting to keep up as much as he could since the dragon told him they wouldn't have much longer to do so. Eventually Saturday turned to Sunday and though the tiger was exhausted he had gained enough control over himself that he had managed to manifest purple armor plating over his body that made him look more robotic then nanite, trying to find a fitting form that would be like what Vyrnen typically had as his default.

"Well, I think that's really all that we can do for you for now," Vyrnen said as he looked around the loft before glancing back at Nizzbit. "If you want to continue to use this place to train go ahead and do so, if I happen to swing back this way then I'll be sure to try and stop in and see how you're doing."

"Thanks for that," Nizzbit replied. "If I may ask, where are you going? It seems like you're going half-way across the world the way you talk about your travels."

"Oh, I'll be going far beyond that," Vyrnen stated with a grin as he went over to the bedroom and began to pack up his things. "I had only come back here actually in order to check up and make sure that the changes I had made to this place stuck after a particularly bad deal went down, and though it appears the ones that tried to cross me have learned their lesson I find it best to not linger in places where such entities know of me. That being said I would highly recommend doing the same for yourself if you can, being a nanite creature is something that is both highly sought after and highly feared... both for the same reason."

Nizzbit found himself nodding as he found his own thoughts forming on the future. The nanite dragon was right; he basically had a whole new life ahead of him, one that had its own set of dangers and benefits just like his old one did. "It seems I have a lot of reflecting to do," Nizzbit commented as he continued to watch Vyrnen. "Is there any last-minute advice that you could give me before you're off to your next destination?"

"Ah, sure..." Vyrnen replied, stopping what he was doing to think about the question that had been asked of him before looking back up. "If you see a black and purple furred hybrid with saber teeth I would highly recommend not getting involved with whatever he's doing, he's one of those technomancers I was talking about and rather enjoys playing around with nanite creatures such as yourself. Also if you ever find yourself in the presence of someone that calls themselves a nexus creature be very careful with what they have to say; though in all honesty if they're appearing before you then you're probably interested in what they're selling, in which case go for it."

The nanite tiger found himself looking at the dragon in slight confusion, which caused Vyrnen to smile and once more pat Nizzbit on the shoulder. "It's all apart of this brand-new world that you've signed up for," Vyrnen stated as he took the bag he had packed and slung it over his shoulder. "I will try and come back here to visit once more, just take everything we did here and keep as much of it as absorbed as possible. Now I'm going to grab one last round of Chinese food if you want to follow me down to where we had our chance encounter."

With nothing else that he could think of doing Nizzbit agreed, especially since it meant that he would have a chance to expose himself to the general public with another nanite creature next to him. When the two walked out into the open and took the public transit system back to the area they had first met the nanite tiger continued to glance back and forth with his yellow and black eyes, waiting for someone to point and scream at him that he was some sort of unnatural creature. Much like with Vyrnen though such an accusation never game and they ended up heading all the way to the restaurant in question and ordering food without incident. Once he had gotten his bags Vyrnen shook Nizzbit's hand and gave him one last good luck, and as the tiger was about to say something he heard his name called and turned back for a second only to find the nanite dragon was gone.

That was it... Nizzbit realized as he went to grab the order that was called for him that the one that had set him on this path in the first place was gone. He was going to have to figure out how to be a nanite creature in this world, though with the knowledge he was armed with he knew that he had the opportunity to make good of it. Still, the tiger felt a pang of loneliness as he sat down in the nearby booth. Though he knew that Vyrnen had to leave he wished he could have convinced the nanite dragon stay there one more day...

"Hey there..." a voice from next to the booth said, Nizzbit looking up to see a smirking creature standing there with a grin on his saber-toothed muzzle. "I heard you may have a had an encounter with a nanite creature and was wondering-"

"Oh no you don't!" Vyrnen's voice suddenly called out as the nanite dragon appeared behind the hybrid, grabbing him with an arm lock from behind and pulling him back.

"Grrk!" the hybrid managed to shout before the two of them suddenly disappeared once more, Nizzbit blinking at the empty space they occupied as he wondered what on earth just happened...
