#1 of Hyperion Chronicles


Come What May

The ship drifted slowly through space, and from any outside observer, it would almost appear normal. But that was the intent. The Hyperion S_t_ar was a covert military science vessel, transporting valuable and highly classified biological weapons and data from various planets to the massive instillation hanging just outside the Earth Governments newest colony. On the inside however, things were not as they seemed; the air stagnant and stale, as if the life support system had long ago ceased attempting to maintain itself. Hallway lights flickered on and off, casting sections of the ship into darkness, obscuring blood slicked corridors filled with the shredded remains of the previously living scientists. Alarm systems rang out, long since forgotten by the decimated crew, the last survivor clinging to life in his room where had fled when everything had started going downhill.

Keris wasn't what one would call an attractive man, average would be the only fitting word for him. Though tall he was somewhat lanky and thin with mousy features. Shaggy brown hair threatened to fall into his eyes, obscuring his glasses and forcing him to brush it out of his face in agitation. He was, or had been, a scientist before the events that led him to where he was, sweat and the blood of his friends and co-workers staining his clothing and skin. He'd done what he could to block the door, but his room had always been sparse, the bed couldn't even move from its place, riveted into the floorboards.

It had started simple enough, he thought, as he regarded the day before. Several of the bioforms from the previous planet were being held under study, he recalled the one he stood over with almost vivid detail. A small bird that had cut through almost all their containment devices until they had put it to sleep, on inspection it seemed the beak was incredibly sharp though for what purpose he couldn't fathom. And then the noises started. At first low, like someone scrapping a fork over a plate, but quickly gaining in intensity and volume as a section of the separating wall tore apart, screams of pain and terror quickly ceasing. Everyone in the room had paused, and something in his chest told him he needed to flee, needed to get out but his feet wouldn't move. And then it appeared.

He couldn't be sure where it had come from, it's body seemed almost human though stood impossibly tall, well over ten feet if he had to guess. It's flesh was gray, almost like that of a shark but it seemed smooth and almost wet as it reflected the light from the room. Blood seeped from its jaw, it's head flat and oddly featureless, almost doglike with its long muzzle but no ears seemed to pull the description in place. It's eyes were beady and black, deep like an ocean of ink or tar as it glanced around the room before letting out a blood curdling roar. And that was all it took as he fled the room, pushing and shoving past the still horror struck members of the room, fleeing down the hall as their screamed echoed behind him.

He hadn't been sure what happened next, awaiting the call from his supervisor, anyone really, to tell him everything was alright. But the hours stretched to the next day and no call had come. He'd hacked into the security camera's, a talent he'd picked up as a kid on the frontier, only to witness the entire ship had been plunged into what could only be described as a bad B-Movie come to life. Scientists and the small contingent of soldiers on the ship were strewn about the hallways in various states of completeness, the number to small to account for the whole crew. He'd swallowed then, only imagining the fate they must have met. He'd tried desperately to find the creature but only found signs of its passage; animal and containment containers ripped open, and the occupants missing.

He felt secure in his barricade as he slowly drifted to sleep, the terror finally ebbing away as the adrenaline that kept him awake was sapped from his body, exhaustion finally taking hold. When he awoke, the lights and computer in his room had died, the air thankfully fresh and cool, indicating that only the power had somehow been cut. But he dared not move from his location, it was secure and safe...but he had to get to the bridge...had to find some way to make contact with the station to let them know what had happened. The debate that raged in his head didn't abate, and finally after several hours sitting in the dark, he made his decision. He pushed the barricade away from the door just enough to squeeze through, making his way down the dark hallways slowly, the emergency lights casting a red glow throughout only extenuating the stale and cramped feeling that nagged at the back of his mind.

Even as he neared the main deck, there was no sign of the creature. Perhaps it had died from the conflict with the soldiers, succumbing to the wounds it received in its fights. Though there hadn't been any indication of a firefight that he'd seen... He pushed it from his mind though, he was in the clear, he could just hole up in the bridge until he docked with the station and let it's troop regiment deal with the threat if it even was still a threat. He pressed the small button on the side of the door, it swishing open to reveal another scene of horror. The entire crew complaint lay butchered, just arms and a few pair of feet, and at the center of the entire bridge...the beast, if it was even the same creature that had caused the entire massacre, sat in the Captain's seat, puzzling over the display with an almost childlike fascination.

It swiveled as the door hissed shut, staring at him with its black, empty eyes pierced him straight through. It was larger, easily a head or two then when he'd first seen it, though its flesh continued to glisten with the almost oily sheen. It had somehow cleaned itself of the blood that it surely must have received, its flesh seemingly near the bursting point at the mass of muscles that had seemed to grow on its frame. But what terrified him most of all was it's almost perfect humanoid shape, it's head the only feature that separated it from anyone else on the ship, retaining its blunt muzzle like face keeping it just inhuman enough as revulsion swept over him. It's fingers and toes seemed to merge into long talons, though they seemed made from the same flesh as it's body, a feature his scientifically trained mind swept over only to be pushed away with more horror. Was he...was he really trying to study the thing even now, amid the corpses of his friends?

It let out a soft hiss as it regarded him, sniffing the air as it started to move, stalking forward with surprising speed for its shape. Keris had no time to run, no time to scream even as its massive hand gripped his fast, hauling him into the air as if he were made of paper. The texture of its skin felt smooth, almost rubberlike and cool to the touch, but none of that kept him from struggling, screaming as loud as he could into the massive paw that held him. It bellowed in response, tossing him against a wall, forcing the air from his lungs in a massive woosh. He didn't have enough time to move sadly, as the beast was on him again, standing over him like some vengeful message from God telling him that his time had come.

It lifted him back into the air, a long black worm like tongue slowly spreading past its lips, revealing a mouthful of very sharp, very real teeth, or what he assumed were teeth as they didn't seem to come from any gums but from the very skull of the beast itself. It sniffed him more, two small vents in the front of its muzzle opening and closing swiftly, taking in all his odors before it leaned back, its tongue working over his face and hair, slicking him down with an oddly sweet smelling saliva. He held his breath as it passed over his mouth and nose, screaming as it slid into his shirt. The eyes of the beast focused on him as he continued to scream, trying to shy away from the odd tongue like appendage but failing as he was held tight by the creature, nowhere to run or hide now. He shouldn't have left his room, he thought bitterly as he took another breath for a scream. But it never escaped, the tongue swiftly moving to fill his mouth as he opened, causing him to gag as it slide into the back of his throat. He flailed helplessly, trying to draw in any breath he could as the tongue seemed to go on and on, sliding down his throat.

Tears leaked from the corners of his eyes as the pain flooded his body, his lungs burning as it seemed the tongue had no intention of stopping. He slowly went limp in the beasts mouth, that odd sweet fluid filling his mouth and dribbling down his throat. As the last of his will to struggle receded, he gave one final struggle as it dawned on him. The fluid was numbing him, causing his body's systems to shut down, accept what was going on. But the beast made no sign that the struggle even registered to it, its eyes shut as a low murr filled the room. I-It was enjoying this?! The thought disgusted him further but slowly even the abject horror slide away into compliance. Almost on cue, the tongue slide from his throat as his body took in the air again, gasping and sobbing at the cool taste. Even as his senses dulled and a warmth flooded over his body, he was grateful he hadn't died, there was some chance he could get away...surely... The creature, for its part, seemed rendered immobile, its eye still squinted shut tightly as the deep murring sound continued to fill the room.

Now that he wasn't dying of asphyxiation he could tell it came from the beast, almost like a cat's purr. He licked his lips to wet them, taking in more of the slime that had accumulated there, dribbling down his chin and staining his lab cloths. It tasted oddly familiar, like hot cocoa or chai tea with even the familiar warmth to it. He shuddered almost involuntarily, trying to lick more of the fluid from his face in an attempt to keep the flavor in his mouth. The warmth continued to spread through his body, all terror or wants to flee slipping away from his mind without him even noticing until finally it seemed it reached its destination. His pants tented as his member engorged with blood, a low moan escaping his lips as he finally managed to lick the last vestiges of the slime off his face. And almost on cue, the beast opened its eyes, it's tongue slowly extending again to run over Keris's body, snaking into his shirt before slithering against his skin, causing him to wriggle and writhe once more. But no longer in fear, the touches only seemed to cause the warmth to flood his body, to wash away any thoughts but the pleasing heat that suffused his form. He opened his mouth in a needy moan, the beast tilting its head before a second tongue slide from its maw, lazily running along his lips before dipping into his mouth.

Keris was no stranger to sex, with either persuasion, and as the tongue slide into his mouth he started to suckle at it like a hungry babe, trying to get as much of the seemingly ever present goo down his throat as possible. And the beast seemed happy to oblige, its first tongue sliding over more of his body before retreating into its mouth, the purring sound growing ever louder as a flowery scent filled the air. Pheromones, Keris thought almost dreamily as the scent assailed him, causing his shaft to throb weakly, straining to be released from his clothing. He suckled harder at the tongue in his mouth, moaning around it as it started to thrust weakly into his mouth, images flooding his mind. A larvae sat in a familiar containment container, gray and oddly featureless as several humans stood above it, poking and prodding at it with all manner of devices his otherwise rational mind would remember. Other creatures were exposed to the larvae, small one's at first and it attacked them, eating them with a small mouth much like a lamprey, taking on the physical features of what it devoured. The scientists had been pleased by this. More and more creatures were exposed to it until one day; one of the scientists had gotten lazy, falling into the now much larger holding bay for the creature. He hadn't lasted long as the beast consumed him, its animal like body suddenly morphing to take on the human's shape.

That was when the scientists started getting cruel, more tests were administered, more powerful and cunning beasts. They wanted to push the limits to what it would become, see how far their new toy could be pushed before it stopped evolving. And that had been their downfall. More images surged into Keris's head, only vaguely understanding them. The beast had stopped killing all of its prey, mating with them as it would any of its own kind...if it even had more of its kind. But that was answered easily, as anything it had mated with quickly morphed into a nearly identical version of the original beast. The scientists were ecstatic again as they started to take away the newly "born" beasts, leaving the first alone. And then the images stopped, his eyes fluttered open even though he'd never remembered shutting them, finding himself seated in the bests lap as it dominated the previous Captain's chair. It was going to mate him. It had absorbed the intelligence of the crew in some capacity, it was able to breed with him like it had been able to breed with the rest of the creatures. It had shown him images to show him what it was going to do, the beast wanted to populate, it wanted others like the ones that were taken away...and it was going to make it into whatever...thing it was.

The still rational part of his mind, screamed at himself as he tried to urge his body to move, to do anything to get away. But his body wouldn't respond as it continued to milk the tongue in his mouth, moaning now on his own volition. The scent in the air was heavier, numbing the last of his resistance, the last shred of his rational mind away like sand on a beach and the beast almost seemed to sense it. With almost level care it started to shuck the clothing off his body, first exposing his slime covered chest to the air, causing him to shiver at the cold before removing his pants. He didn't remember where his glasses went, giggling around the tongue in his mouth happily as the beast ran its hands over his flesh. He wanted to be mated, longed to feel the beast take him, he couldn't even remember why he was scared anymore, the creature was kind, it was gentle. It was taking care of him. He writhed into the touch of his new mate, trying to suck the tongue further into his mouth, the beast making a surprised sound.

It had never found so willing a mate, the other humans on the ship weren't compatible with it, didn't have the right gene's or muscles mass to take on its changes. But this human was prime, and it obliged as the human tried to suck more of his tongue into his mouth. He slid it down into his throat, pulling back as he gagged slightly, slowly relaxing the reflex as more goo flooded into the human's mouth and leaked down his chin. It sifted through its memories; it had found that mates that were pleased were easier to mate in the end. This was a male of the species, but it didn't matter to its purposes, it just needed to spread its gene's into the host before it would mutate. He shifted his biology around, long thick tentacles slowly sprouting from its back, coiling into the air. It probed further into the males mind, finding what it enjoyed, finding what it desired; found it had already mated with males. And the tentacles shifted, growing phallic and thick, the heads of the tentacles starting to drip with fluid, splattering loudly as it hit the metal deck. It groaned as the human started to suck and bob along it's tongue more eagerly, slowly shaping it into another tentacle, keeping the shape familiar as that of a long thick dick, it's head seeping the pheromone filled fluid into the host. It growled loudly in pleasure, happy that it's new host was so attentive as it tried to press against him, the human trying to press its small hands against its chest, it's own breeding organ seeping it's fluid over him heavily.

Keris was sucking along the tongue for all he was worth, making a surprised sound as it shifted to a large shaft, sucking and bobbing faster along the familiar object as his moans grew ever louder. He looked at the beast as the long tendrils coiled through the air, shuddering in anticipation. He was ready, and the beast was more than happy to oblige. The tendrils coiled around his body slowly, lifting him off the lap of his mate, constricting against his flesh gently as the tongue pulled away from his mouth. He let out a loud needy cry, opening his mouth wider as one of the tendrils shifted to take the tongue's place, sucking along it with renewed vigor as it started to thrust into his mouth. His own shaft was throbbing painfully from all the attention and scents in the air, pre-cum flowing from its tip like a river. A tentacle moved towards it, sliding and rubbing along it, eliciting a loud cry from Keris who tried to thrust against it. The tentacle shifted, growing longer and thicker before the head of its tip yawned open, sliding fully over his length to his balls. A long tongue like appendage morphed with it, sliding out of the tip as it coiled and slid over Keris's balls slowly, tasting and testing them. The tongue slide further, sliding into his ass cheeks to press against his anus, slicking it up and causing another needy and eager cry from him before it moved away, a tentacle hovering above in its place. Tears rolled down his cheeks, the pleasure flooding his body not enough to quench the fire in his loins, his moans growing desperate as he started to thrust into the tentacle that had devoured his cock. The tentacle started to suck powerfully in response, better than any human mouth he'd ever felt as the tongue continued to play with his balls. The tentacle that hovered above his ass slowly descended, spreading it's fluids between his cheeks before two more if it's brothers wrapped around his legs, pulling them apart to expose his puckered hole to the attentive length.

It grew slowly, ridges and bumps sprouting down its full length as the beast continued to delve into the memories of the human crew it had eaten. It tasted the pre-cum of its host, growling in delight at the virility and sweetness of it, sucking along the turgid piece of meat harder, trying to drain more of the human's balls into itself. Most of its attention though was on the long shaft prepped to slide into its host's ass, now easily three inches thick and throbbing with almost cruel desire. The length now fully looked like a long snake with its head replaced with a human penis, pre-fluid spilled out of it and between the human's cheeks before it started to work the head into the human's well lubricated asshole. The human made a loud noise of complaint, though didn't shy away from the invading length as it continued to slide all too easily into him. The beast made a moaning sound all its own, a strange rumbling noise that shook its whole body. It was pleased, humans seemed the perfect mates. It could not wait until it docked at what the humans called a "space station".

Keris writhed and pressed back as much as he could against the invading phallus, the discomfort he had felt initially soothed by the gently nudging of the creature and his pleasure addled mind and body. The tentacle in his mouth was pressing deeply into his throat now, leaking it's fluid directly into his stomach as he ran his tongue along it as best he could, trying to please the beast as much as it was pleasing him. The large tentacle in his ass suddenly pressed into his prostate, causing him to arch and writhe as he was tipped over the edge, cumming into the tentacle only for it to be sucked down and away by the beast, causing it to roar in pleasure as it tasted the biological information, taking it into itself, it's owns fluids changing to become more like the human's fluid. Keris noted the change immediately as the newly created pre-cum flooded his mouth, rewarding him for his addition to the creature with an eager cry, his cock straining as it remained hard. And that's when the tentacle in his ass started to thrust and piston into him.

Keris could do little as the breeding tool fucked his ass harder with each passing second, his eyes rolling into the back of his head as it kept striking his prostate over and over. Even his moans and cries became unintelligible as the lust over took him, the tentacle in his ass suddenly stopping, growing thicker as cum started flooding into his ass. The cum was like a torrent, surging into and out of his ass around the tentacle to coat the floor, striking his prostate powerfully causing another orgasm of his own. More cum flooded from his balls then ever in his life, the force of his orgasm causing starts to explode behind his eyes, his body going limp as the tentacle pulled away, all the cum surging out of him like a waterfall, splashing and splattering on the floor sickly. The tentacle in his mouth slowly pulled away as well, his body to weak to even complain as the source of his desires was taken away. But the beast was not done with its new host, far from it.

A change was going over its body as the space between its legs had split, creating a sheath like protrusion. Inside it was forming the perfect tool to pass along it's biological information into its host, giving Keris enough time to come out of the pleasured haze to see the easily two foot long shaft burst from the beast. It twitched and moved slightly like a tentacle all its own, it's shape completely foreign to him, but he knew he wanted it inside of him so badly more tears leaked from his eyes. But the beasts cock was not done adapting; only sliding from the body to better reshape and form itself. The head was tapered, a strange red fluid flowing from its large opening. Thick spinney growths sprouted over the length, their edges curved down to better stimulate and tug at the flesh of its hosts, even the tips leaking a lubricating fluid. But the final adaption held Keris's attention fully, a long prehensile tendril flicking out of the large opening. He could only shudder at the thought of what that was going to feel like inside of himself, and he didn't have long to wonder, as the beast started to move him down towards it's lap again. Feelings of joy and pleasure filled his mind as the beast looked him in the eye, needing little other action to convey how pleased it was with its new host, and Keris shuddered in joy, trying desperately to send his own desires back towards his mate. If they got through, Keris couldn't tell as he felt the thin cock tendril lapping at his anus, sliding past the ring to tease his insides. And then the beast started to slide it's cock proper into him, even the brutal fucking from earlier not preparing Keris for its girth and length, pain fighting against the pleasure and over-joyed thoughts that he was finally breeding with his mate for dominance. But then that tendril flicked at his prostate, any pain he felt washing away until he felt the beasts flesh against his own, gasping as he looked down, the whole two feet of monster cock inside him somehow, pushing and shaping him to better serve the beast.

There was no thrusting, no motion like he expected, like he wanted, only the beast's ever present throbbing prick inside him, the throbbing slowly starting to flood his body, making him feel as if he were merely an extension of that grand penis. He could feel the red ooze flowing out his ass, sloshing as the massive cock throbbed in him, squelching and slurping as the cock continued to contract and expand, growing from less than an inch to four inches across with the beasts heartbeat. They were joined, and Keris only knew ultimate exaltation at the feeling. And then the beast did something Keris hadn't seen yet, it's chest sucked in swiftly almost as if it had inhaled deeply, the cock in his ass swelling back to its full size before another torrent of cum rocketed into him. But this was different then when the tentacle had cum, the ooze in his bowels seemed almost alive, moving through the rest of his body, dissolving his insides while filling him out, keeping him solid. He thought he'd feel pain, but only a serene feeling washed over him as watched the ooze flood into his body, climbing higher and higher up his body until he felt like he was chocking. He opened his mouth to cough, but the brilliant red goo flowed out of his mouth, out his eyes and ears and nose, and in one final moment of coherence, he came, blowing his load all over the beast's chest, the same red fluid that filled his body. And then he blacked out.

Pain was what awoke him from his dreamless sleep, like his whole body was on fire. He screamed but no sound came out of his mouth as his eyes shot open, laying in a puddle of sticky red slime. He thrashed but found he couldn't move, trapped inside the sticky strands of monster cum, the outside a hardened shell like an egg. He looked at his red covered body, the pain growing more and more intense as he heard his spine crack. His spine...? Hadn't it dissolved like the rest of his organs...shouldn't be dead? But he wasn't and the cracking of bones continued to intensify as his skin started to smooth out. It was happening! He was becoming like his mate! Even through the pain he could only feel triumph and joy as he urged on the changes. His weak thin body started to budge even as his penis melted away. He didn't care, trying to open his mouth, now a powerful jaw as he continued to grow more and more like the beast that had ravaged him hours before. The cum tasted like cotton candy as he continued to devour more and more of it. And with a loud roar, he burst from his egg like cocoon, even taller than his mate, standing easily at fifteen feet. His muscles rippled, his mind slowly eroding away into primal lust, the need to breed. His memories joined the others that had been transferred to him, and as he cast about looking for his mate, his eyes fell upon the massive metal world that floated out the view screen of the bridge. They'd reached the space station.
