As Syr'kan's eyes fluttered open again he could feel three things immediately; the newfound coldness of his skin, the pleasant afterglow after a mind-shattering climax, and the weight of a large, metal feline on him with its cock still lodged in his anal vent. The last was confirmed as he propped himself upright, Taz looked at him with those blue eyes that glowed in the darkness. He rubbed a paw against his belly scales, which had turned deep metallic black, and instead of the screech of metal against metal there was no sound at all. With every touch it sent shivers up and down his body, even though he knew it was another male that was snuggled up against him it didn't repulse him like he used to.

"Did you have a good nap love?" Taz said with a small smile. Syr'kan was about to say something in response, but all he managed to get out was a small hiss as the leopard slid his tool out of him in order to lie next to him. "Tibri is getting a few minutes to get used to his fully developed form, so I thought we'd take the time to get you used to yours."

As Syr'kan laid there he looked down at his shipmate with slight confusion. Ever since he had known Taz he wasn't the hugging, cuddly type, especially towards him. He hadn't cared at the time since his main concern was the Silvercobra, but now that they had just been so intimate it brought up new feelings between the two of them that was far more intense than anything he had ever felt. The only thing he thought he could ever love was the ship and that he would eventually just die on-board of it. He knew his body changed, but did his mind change as well?

"Taz." Syr'kan finally spoke; he had to take a second of pause as he marveled at the newly electronic nature of his own voice before he continued on. "Taz, I don't know what to say. Well, I do know what I want to say, but I'm not sure how to say it. I think... I..."

"Love you?" Taz finished with a goofy smile on his face as he got up once more and straddled his chest with his legs. At that point the naga was glad he was covered in metal so he couldn't see his blush. "You don't have to be embarrassed about it, I'm not."

"Does that mean?" Syr'kan asked, mouth slightly agape as he let his question linger.

"I love you Syr'kan." Taz finished once more as he leaned down and kissed him on the lips. They embraced for several minutes, their paws against their heads and backs as they made out with fervent passion. If they knew they had more time they would have started to go at it again, but they both knew of the pressing situation in the back of their minds as their tongues twined. Since they didn't need to breath they were locked together the entire time, only breaking it when they finally tore themselves apart so they could speak.

"I love you too Taz." Syr'kan said as he brought up his hands to hold his lover's face. "It sounds strange to me, I never believed in love like this. This is even more intense then this ship and it's been my life-long passion. The only thing I fear is that this is some heat of the moment thing after you fulfilled my deep, dark fantasy..."

Taz just laughed and grabbed the naga by the arms, then pulled him up in another hug. "Look at us, we're kindred spirits. The dragon said that he'd never seen any Pet desire to robotize themselves, and now there's been two of us on the same ship. I believe that some things are coincidence, but to not only love the same thing I do but to allow me to make love to you when you were so apprehensive about it... I'm ready to believe. There's a link between us, a bond that's almost as strong as what I feel to Tibri. Speaking of, I think I want to show you off to the rest of the group."

The mechanical naga started to protest, but it fell on deaf ears as he was dragged out of the dark office into the light of the engineering bay. As the door opened they almost hit Tibri and Zar'dirin, who looked like they were just about to get them as well. Once Syr'kan was out he was greeted with 'oohs' from the rest of the group, which caused him to be extremely self-conscious as he spent most of his life alone in the bay where they stood. With some additional prompting from Taz he put on a little bit of show, something he vaguely realized he would have never done before.

"Syr, I'm impressed." Tibri said as he looked over the naga's new body. Like Taz, his body was completely covered in the same flexible metal, with black on his belly and silver on the outside instead of his usual yellow and red coloration. Also unlike his old, scuffed scales his new skin looked polished to a bright shine, and instead of the slight belly he had gained from hours of computer interaction he had a well-defined set of muscles that he flexed for show. His other major change was his eyes; they had also been replaced with a set of electronic red lights that glowed brightly as he finished his moves.

"Well, if we're all done lewdly gawking at our newest edition." Zar suddenly chimed in, which made both Samson and Tibri embarrassed as they realized they had started to rub themselves as they watched the naga's moves. "I do believe we have a ship to save. Syr'kan, you probably know the quickest and stealthiest route to the bridge, lead the way."

Syr'kan nodded and grabbed Taz by the hand before he started to slither into one of the maintenance tunnels, with Samson, Zar, and Tibri right behind them. They quickly realized that while it may have been the quickest and fastest route, it was also the least comfortable as they had to resort to crawling on their hands and knees to make their way. The tiger quickly realized why the naga was well suited to the job; the tunnels would have been perfect for him to navigate. Luckily since their eyes glowed it allowed them to keep them in sight as they continued onward.

"Zar, can I ask you something?" Tibri whispered as he ducked the dragon's latex tail for the tenth time as they turned a corner.

"Of course you can." The dragon whispered back.

"It's about Syr and Taz." Tibri replied. "There is something about them that I really can't place. I was just wondering if you knew what this feeling was."

Even though he couldn't see it, Tibri knew that Zar was grinning. "I see that even though you've matured I still have knowledge to impart to you. Basically without going into too much detail it is not uncommon for a Pet that has been converted freely by another Pet can develop an instant attraction to one another. From what I gathered from Aran's limited social interactions I can equate it to falling in love, except instead of needing a number of dates and awkward conversations the symbiotes in their bodies know instantly and form a bond with each other."

"Oh..." was all Tibri said as he looked away.

"I sense you have another question." Zar spoke up after a few seconds.

"Well, it's with Aki." Tibri said reluctantly. "I mean, what if he converts and we don't have that instant attraction? Does that mean we're not meant to be together?"

"Well, if what you've told me about you two is true, you have nothing to worry about." Zar replied. Tibri wanted to press him further on the matter, but Syr'kan announced that they were in the maintenance area that was close to the bridge. The robotic naga was the first to leave the tunnel, his movements fluid as he slithered out of the hatch. Taz quickly followed behind, as soon as his feet touched the ground his arm cannon was out as he scanned the area for enemies. Samson was next, and then Zar'dirin and Tibri brought up the rear as the limited space of the repair closet was quickly filled with the five bodies.

"Someone is stepping on my tail!" Samson cried out in as hushed a voice as possible as everyone tried to move around one another while Taz listened at the door to see if anyone was outside. Everyone shushed him before they went quiet once more, though there was still the occasional 'mpph' and 'ow' from the pile of creatures. When Taz finally announced it was all clear he opened the door and they all tumbled out, Samson rubbed his latex tail while Tibri gently massaged the area where Syr'kan's elbow had been buried in his ribs.

"Well, that was fun." Zar muttered as he rubbed his head. "They certainly don't make those things for mass transit."

"Most people use the hallways." Taz replied as he continued on to scout out the surrounding corridors.

"You know, I've been thinking." Samson said once the leopard came back to announce their path was clear. "Taz is the only one that has an actual weapon. "If this Falcai has consolidated all his slaves at the bridge then we may be in over our heads. All I have that can possibly be used is a sonic scalpel."

The rest of the group looked at each other as they realized that the fox spoke the truth. "Well, I have my claws and what few Anarki abilities I have retained." Zar mused. "But you are right, Tibri is completely unarmed and Samson only has a very limited melee weapon. I want to say we should grab more, but to go all the way back to the armory would be more costly in delay then what we could ever make up in firepower. So what we're going to have to do is find some way-" Zar was suddenly interrupted as a large plasma rifle was tossed into his hands, even with his draconic reflexes he bobbled it a bit before he caught the heavy weapon.

The four of them looked back over at the naga, who went back to the workbench inside of the maintenance closet and began to put more pieces of metal back on the bench. "Syr'kan, how did you..." Tibri's question trailed off as Syr'kan finished putting the scrap on the pile, then arched back slightly and stuck his hands out at it. Almost immediately his entire forearm was transformed as a mass of wires and little robotic arms shot down into the metal and began to assemble the parts together faster than any of them could even follow. After less than a minute what appeared to be a gauss rifle laid there on the table, as though it had just been pulled out of the packaging before he threw it to the tiger.

"They're loaded with high-intensity sonic disruption rounds." Syr'kan said as he once more began to pick out scrap pieces of metal. "The last thing I want you to do is put a hole in the ship, plus it should do more than enough damage to those goo bodies of theirs."

"Syr'kan, you're amazing!" Samson exclaimed as he watched him build a plasma pistol for him. "I didn't know you knew how to repair and build weapons."

"I don't actually." Syr'kan replied as he gave the final weapon to the fox. "It's the strangest thing really, aside from a few technical aspects I have a hard time following what my body is doing. It's like the tools know, and that's enough for them to do what they have to do."

"Well, you may not know much about weapons, but I know someone who probably does." Zar'dirin smiled as he pointed a claw towards Taz. "Since you two are bonded you have access to all the information he knows and vice versa. Bonded pairs of symbiotes are often a treasured find in that regard, which is why many times Anarki masters would hold galas for their pets in order to put them in the same room and try and find them. Of course when that happens you always hoped for two pairs, otherwise there would be fierce bargaining and sometimes even competition."

"Enough chit-chat." Taz said as he suddenly appeared behind them, gun at the ready. "I checked all the way to the main control bridge and didn't find any of the blighted goo monsters there, so either they're still scattered about the ship or they're all in the bridge like we figured. Either way, we should probably get going."

The rest of the group nodded and strode determinately on the path that the metal leopard set for them. True to his scouting they encountered no monsters on the way, even when they cautiously opened the door to the bridge. After they all gave a suspicious glance into the empty space they entered one by one, weapons drawn and ready. Everything still seemed to be in order, the main control screen still showed them in a geosynchronous orbit over the dead planet. As Tibri looked a little closer, however, he made the startling discovery of jump coordinates being set into the ship's guidance computer. The destination was Space Station 724XZ93, or the more easily remembered name Nightingale Station. It possessed over a thousand souls and had twice that pass through its hulls daily, if Falcai took control of it his spread across the galaxy would be almost unstoppable.

He was about to voice the distressing news to Zar'dirin when he suddenly saw Taz next to him, a hand on his shoulder to prevent him from moving anywhere. "We can't dally about here too long; we have to save the captain." He exclaimed in a voice that was louder than normal as he walked forward slowly. "It is almost certain now that the rest of the creatures have gone off in other parts of the ship, thinking that we are there. It's a good thing, otherwise we would HA!" Suddenly he fired his arm cannon straight up into the air, and in the next second there was a splatter of blue goo that rained down on him as two halves of the goo jackal fell to the floor with a squish.

The rest of the group quickly took the queue and looked up to see what was once their cheetah and lizardman crewmates on the ceiling, though they quickly dropped to the ground as they realize their cover had been blown. They both had weapons similar to their own, stolen from Taz' stash as everyone ducked for cover. While Zar'dirin and Syr'kan had been fortunate to be near consoles large enough to accommodate them, Samson, Tibri, and Taz were left out in the open and drew most of the fire. Taz made a diving leap for the tiger, and when he had Tibri in his arms he formed a translucent white energy field around them.

"Samson, run!" Tibri yelled, but before the scared fox could move two shots hit him in the shoulder and chest. With a yelp he fell to the floor, a thick black liquid ran through his fingers as he clutched the area just below his pectorals. As Zar and Syr fired upon the creatures to draw their attention Taz crept closer to their fallen comrade with Tibri still in tow. The sounds of battle raged as several shots were absorbed by the shield, though it never faltered for a second as they reached the doctor.

Taz and Tibri moved Samson out into the hallway, where the lip of the airtight seal gave them more then enough cover from the blasts to give the shield a rest. "Tibri... sorry..." Samson said the tiger gently pulled his hands away from the wound. The black liquid had slowed in its oozing, which revealed that the latex flesh beneath it had been tinged blue as well a bit of the fluid that came from it. The two quickly realized that the creatures had modified the weapons not to kill them, but to try and convert them over to Falcai's side. As the watched the blue seemed to spread outward, which knitted the wound together again except it was goo that filled in the gap.

"I need to get to Zar, can you cover me?" Tibri asked.

"More than you can imagine." Taz replied with a small grin as he once more wrapped his arms around him and held him tight to his chest. When the shield was once more in place they slowly made their way back to the fray, just in time to watch the dragon as he fired the huge energy cannon into the goo lizardman's body and splattered him into a fine blue mist against the wall. The cheetah had become even more fast then the last time they encountered him, and dodged their shots with ease as he fired two guns back at them.

"Zar, Samson's been hit pretty bad." Tibri told the crouched dragon as they reached him. "The wounds have healed themselves, but now there's some sort of goo where his flesh should be."

"Mmm, Falcai has been doing a little weapon modification it seems." Zar replied with a grimace. "That would explain the lack of penetration on our good doctor's body. You're good to be worried, but from what I saw it was only a minor infection, as long as your symbiote is completely intact and uncorrupted his body should reject the foreign material very quickly, like how your old body used to reject a common cold virus. As for us, we need to get to the Captain's quarters immediately, any suggestions?"

"Yeah, get me over to environmental controls, I can take it from there." Syr'kan spoke up. The others nodded and together discharged their weapons at the cheetah as the naga slithered over to a panel on the other side of the room. They did their best to keep the final goo creature pinned down, and though it evaded their shots almost completely it prevented him from firing back until they could reach a safe area behind the console. Once they were protected once more he popped open the console's maintenance hatch and gingerly placed his clawed hands into the mess of wires and circuit boards on the other side. Once more his scales opened and wires attached themselves to various circuit points and other wires, except this time they stayed connected as his eyes glowed an even brighter red then before. One the control screen lines of code began to cycle down, faster even then the ship's computer itself.

It took less than a minute but the effect was immediate. When Tibri heard thesound of fans reving up did he realize that the cheetah, as well as the other two slowly reforming goo creatures, was right beneath an emergency fire and contaminant ventilation system designed to suck out all the oxygen in the room in less than ten seconds. That created a powerful suction, and as the air was pumped out of the room they watched as the goo was quickly lifted up and into the vent system as well. Once there was no trace of the creatures left the system shut down and the vents sealed shut, which hopefully would entrap them for a good long while.

"I thought that system could not be activated at all unless there were no living creatures present and the emergency airlock was closed." Taz commented as the naga disengaged himself from the system.

"I overrode it." Syr'kan said simply. "Turns out when you can rewrite computer code at the speed of thought then security protocols really don't pose much of a problem. Speaking of problems, good catch with the creatures on the ceiling, I can't believe none of us looked up and caught that."

"I didn't either." Taz replied as they moved to the door of the Captain's quarters and Syr'kan began to work on popping off the access plate of the door mechanism. "But as we walked in there was suddenly this little HUD screen in the corner of my vision that told me that there were enemies nearby as well as radar to where they were. My body comes with radar, how freaking awesome is that?"

"Quite." Zar'dirin said as his face became set with grim resolve. "Now if you want to keep that form of yours we have to concentrate on the task at hand. No doubt Falcai is in there right now corrupting the Captain, but if we got there in time then perhaps we can save him from the same gooey fate as the rest of the crew. Now the arrogant prick isn't going to expect us to barge in on him, so Taz once your lover manages to pop the door open I need to you to fire on any point of connection between Falcai and the Captain, I will then grab him and you and Syr'kan will convert him while Tibri and I deal with the other Master. If he gains another soul on his side then defeating him will be next to impossible."

"What about Aki?" Tibri asked. "What do we do if he's in there as well?"

Zar'dirin sighed and put a hand on Tibri's shoulder, like a father about to tell his son some terrible news. "That's why I want to get the Captain so badly. Chances are... well, once Falcai saw the connection you had to him he probably went out of his way to convert him in order to use him against you. Whatever you do, don't let your feelings for him distract you on the task at hand. You will be the only one that can challenge the Anarki Master for control of the ship, as well as all the crew on it. If you don't want your friends to become the mindless slaves he has created, then you will beat him. I know you can do it, I have faith in you."

Tibri sighed as he was ushered back behind the rest of the group. While the dragon's words were somewhat soothing he still couldn't help but feel a weight in the pit of his stomach. They still had not come in contact with the red wolf, though possibly that was a good thing. That possibly meant that he had managed to secure himself and avoided becoming a mindless goo creature. But if he was there, if he was like the others and attacked him, then he wasn't sure if he could muster up the willpower to fight back.

A sudden beep caused him to jump slightly, and the tiger looked to see that Syr'kan had already bypassed the access codes and activated the door. There was a few seconds delay before the door itself opened, and Taz was at the ready with his arm cannon fully charged. With a soft hiss the door slid upwards, and almost immediately afterwards the leopard's weapon discharged. It took the rest of the group a few seconds to comprehend what was going on, though as soon as they did a queasy feeling overtook most of the males there as they gasped and groaned.

Inside the room the Captain was on his knees, completely naked, his muzzle bulging as what looked like a bodybuilder version of their former executive officer towered over him with his hands on his head and his cock jammed in his mouth. When Taz fired it caused the alien horse to screech and fall backwards as Zar ran forward and ripped the severed appendage out of the wolf's mouth. As he did so it liquefied into a blue goo, which slid back to the horse as its skin began to turn blue and liquidate like a candle melting from the inside. Tentacles pushed out of Mortimer's former flesh as it began to lose a lot of its equine features and reformed into more feline ones.

"He wasn't so tough." Taz sneered as he walked in with the others, Syr'kan the last as he used his newfound tools to lock the door behind them. "Zar, should I turn this guy into paste now?"

"Don't get arrogant!" Zar shouted back as he dragged the semi-conscious Captain over to them. "You and Syr'kan do what you have to do, Tibri and I can handle this." The two mechanized men nodded and took the wolf from the dragon, dragging him into the empty bedroom as a steady stream of blue goo leaked from his sheath, anus, and mouth. Tibri wondered if they were too late to convert the Captain, but a reassuring nod brought his confidence up. At this point the blue panther monster had completely shed Mortimer's former skin, tentacles flailing as his two-foot long snake cock slithered in the air.

"Falcai, it's been a while." The dragon sneered as he approached the huge creature. Tibri was amazed at how the former Anarki master kept his calm when he faced such a menacing beast. "I see you're still up to your own tricks, enslaving people to do your bidding instead of actually taking the time to form a proper bond."

As the tiger watched the exchanged he was even more surprised to see the snake-cock rise up and meet Zar at eye-level. "Well well, the leader of the Anarki once again in the flesh." The snake hissed as it smiled at him. "At least my tactics never destroyed an entire planet... you know, doomed an entire civilization. In fact, out of everyone in this room I can think of only one that managed to kill an entire race. Do you know who that is Zar'dirin?"

"My actions were pure and you know it Falcai." Zar replied. :No one could have foreseen that those aliens would react in that matter." Tibri's mouth dropped slightly as he heard the exchange between the two grow even more heated. Even though he had only known the dragon Anarki for a short while it seemed that he always had a chip on his shoulder about something. He never imagined that his mentor had been the leader of a civilization, or that he could even remotely be involved in what happened to the planet below them.

"Perhaps you should explain to the poor boy before you recruit him to find your battles for you." Falcai pointed out cruelly.

At first Zar was about to challenge the snake on his cowardice at such dirty tactics, but when he looked back at Tibri he realized the information had shaken his heir. "Tibri, I didn't want to tell you because it was in the past." The dragon sighed. "I was the ruler of the Anarki, and had been for quite some time up to our near-extinction. One day a space-ship from a civilization far more technologically advanced then ours crashed into the planet near one of our cities. Three of their crew had died in the impact, and the other two were so badly broken I knew they would not make it through the night. In an effort to save them I converted them into pets, and while they were most thankful for it when they returned to their ship they were deemed 'abominations' by their crew and destroyed. Then, after they considered the conversion an act of war, they realized we were far too dangerous a species to survive and destroyed the entire planet with their weapons."

"See what a bleeding heart gets you?" Falcai snickered. "Had it been my way they would have converted the entire ship before anyone was the wiser. With their technology we could have spread across the universe and no one would challenge us before it was too late."

"I do not want to hear your toxic words anymore!" Zar'dirin shouted. "I have seen what you intend to do with this ship and it is far eviler then anything I could have even imagined. In some ways... I'm glad we were destroyed before we reached the stars, I shudder to think of the things you would have done unchecked."

"Oh, so now you condone our genocide?" Falcai replied. "Honestly Zar, you don't think these races wouldn't benefit under our guiding hand? We could find a nice world and create an entirely new Anarki civilization for-"

"I... I want to challenge you." Tibri interrupted softly, though it was apparently loud enough for both of them to turn and regard him.

"What's that now?" Falcai hissed as the huge body lumbered over towards him and the snake cock got into his face. "Aww, does the new little Anarki want to play? I'm hope that our icompetant former leader filled you in on what happens if you challenge me and lose. You'll be stripped of all your fun new powers and all the pets you collected will fall under my control."

"I understand the risks." Tibri replied as confidently as he could, though there was a slight tremor in his voice as the snake was nearly nose to nose with him. "I also know that if you're allowed to continue to exist then the friends you turned into mindless slaves will be that way forever."

"You know, if you would just submit to me now I would let you keep control over your pets and you could be my personal little fucktoy tiger." Falcai said with a small chuckle. "We could make the dragon our mutual slave... but if you really want to bring this farce of a duel to its inevitable conclusion, I will be happy to show you how a true Anarki converts."

There was no warning, almost instantly the tentacles on the goo panther's body erupted forward and wrapped around his wrists and ankles. Despite the horror of the situation he could feel his maleness begin to awaken, which was helped by the hormones that Falcai had no doubt started to pump into his body as he could feel the small tendrils of goo begin to branch out into his body. As much as he wanted to fight and get away from the creature Zar had told him not to, that a bridge between them had to be formed if the duel was to continue. His breathing began to quicken and grow heavy as the warm heat of arousal suffused throughout his entire body, his hips thrusting slightly as the blue snake wrapped its body around his fully erect member. The touch of goo only made him feel hotter, his breaths turned to pants as the snake's mouth completely engulfed him. He could feel the tentacle of goo once more push into his body, a bulge forming just underneath his skin as it raced up into his skull.

As the goo made contact with his brain Tibri's eyes rolled back into his head, though his body burned with need his thoughts suddenly became crystal clear. Soon he found himself standing face to face with Falcai once more, only now they were no longer connected. The tiger recognized this place; it's where the goo creature had tried to convert him the first time when he was saving Taz. This was where they would fight for the bodies and souls of everyone aboard the Silvercobra.

"Alright then, let's get this over with." Falcai smirked down at him as he crossed his arms. "Whenever you're ready to give up then just fall to your knees and I'll know that you're ready to 'receive' me."

"Funny, I was just about to say the same thing to you." Tibri replied with a low growl as he saw those tentacles ready to strike once more. Though Zar'dirin had given him a crash course on what to do when he finally confronted Falcai, nothing could have prepared him for the experience. Nevertheless the dragon's words gave him a boost of confidence, and within seconds he channeled the symbiote of Taz and felt thick metal plates form over his entire body. Half a second later Falcai struck, but the tiger found the armor surprisingly maneuverable as he jetted backwards.

"So, I see you at least know how to use the abilities of your pets." Falcai mocked. "I suppose I should respond in kind." There was a sudden, massive surge of growth as the goo creature shot up from seven feet to a towering twenty-five as three pairs of thick, muscular arms grew out from his sides. He could see the distorted faces of his fallen crewmates in the creature's body as the almost cartoonishly proportioned creature smiled down at him, blue froth on the panther's lips as the snake laughed cruelly. Tibri gulped slightly, this was something he had not expected.

Suddenly the air around Tibri was filled with tentacles as they lashed out at him. Luckily with Syr'kan's knowledge of propulsion, Taz's knowledge of weapons and targeting, and Zar's knowledge of Falcai himself he was able to defend himself quite well. It wasn't long before both creatures realized they were in a bit of a stalemate, while Tibri landed some impressive shots the goo merely reformed back into its body. The wear of his attacks started to show though, the goo had begun to deform and twist out in several spots and particularly around the faces. "It seems your slaves have started to rebel against you." He taunted. "I wonder how much longer you can even maintain that form."

"Mmmf, you've grown stronger it seems since our last brief encounter." Falcai managed to say as he tried to get his body under control. "Perhaps it is time to reopen our negotiations..."

"I don't think so you bastard." Tibri sneered.

"Oh? Not even if I have something you might want?" Suddenly they were once more on the bridge of the Silvercobra where they could see themselves as well as Zar'dirin with a look of concern on his face. "I would like to present you with my... bargaining chip." In the next second the door to the bathroom opened and a muscular blue goo horse walked out with something in its thick arms. Tibri gasped as he realized that it was Aki, the red wolf struggled and kicked against the creature until he was finally dropped roughly.

"You're Akidumaru, aren't you?" Tibri heard the dragon ask; though the sound was distorted as through he was listening underwater as Aki fearfully nodded his head. "Don't worry; I'm a friend of Tibri's. Did the goo creatures... do anything to you?"

"Ah... I don't think so." Aki replied as he got up and quickly moved over towards Zar and away from the creature that had held him captive. "What's... what's going on? I don't-" his sentence was cut short by a gasp as he saw Tibri's body ensnared in the larger goo creatures tentacles, with several of them pushed into every hole the tiger had. "Oh God Tibri no!"

The red wolf began to run towards him, only to be quickly stopped by Zar as he held him back. "Tibri is currently fighting for all of us." Zar whispered into his ear, small wisps of white smoke from his breath seemed to wiggle their way into Aki's ear which gave a noticeable calming effect. "There is nothing we can do right now but wait and hope he comes out on the other side the victor."

"But... look at him!" Aki shouted. "That thing is going to pull him into its body and consume him!"

"He wouldn't dare do that." Zar instructed as he released the wolf and guided him to his side. "The less contact Tibri has with that creatures main body the better it is for the creature. If he would try to consume him that way then it would be like swallowing a pill, Tibri's symbiote would quickly disperse with the added surface area. We can't interfere, any contact with Falcai and you won't just become a slave, you'll be completely absorbed by him and die. Just stand by me and hope for your friend."

As the vision faded and the two were once more plunged into the aether of the mental realm Tibri just shook his head. "I don't see where you think you may have an advantage in this." The tiger stated as he brought up his weapon once more. "Aki is fine and if I defeat you then he will still be safe."

"Ah, you misunderstand my intention." Falcai chuckled. "You see, as I'm sure Zar mentioned our power is based on how many we've converted. Right now neither of us have the advantage since the Captain is being actively converted by the both of us, but if your precious wolf were to suddenly be... activated, then the power would shift in my favor. So I'm offering you this one time deal, submit yourself to me now and I'll convert you and make you my favorite. In turn I'll let you convert Aki and he can be yours forever. If you refuse, I'll turn him into a mindless slave and break your will completely."

Tibri could feel his willpower falter slightly as he realized that Aki had been a trap all along, that the only reason he wasn't converted was because Falcai had held back on him until now. The last thing he wanted for the wolf was to experience the horror of the transformation and subsequent enslavement. If he had won the fight he was going to ask him if he wanted to accept his gift willingly, he wanted it to be his choice completely. Now that choice was taken away from the both of them, and what seemed at first to be a nearly impossible situation became nearly hopeless. He tried his hardest not to tear up as he lowered his weapon slightly, arm shaking.

"Good pet..." Falcai hissed as his form shrank, the rebelling faces disappearing as he returned to his monstrous panther form. "Now embrace me, call me your master and allow me to enter you. When you do so I will convert your Anarki symbiote and my victory will be complete. But hurry, I can already feel your lover beginning to turn."

There was a cruel smile on the snake's face as the armor disappeared from Tibri's body as he approached. His face was wet with tears, both from the feeling of utter failure to Zar and the rest of the crew as well as his own disappointment that he would lose for the selfish purpose to save someone who doesn't even know he cares about him. The snake-cock hovered in front of his face for a few seconds in gloating victory before it thrust forward in what the tiger thought was a kiss. As soon as he opened his lips slightly the blue snake pushed his way into his mouth, filling his maw before it wiggled into his throat. He let out a small, gurgled gasp as the thick piece of snake meat continued to push into his body, the cool goo seemed to radiate outward as it invaded him. Soon after the creature's tail slithered its way between his legs and pressed into his tailhole, a similar sensation felt down there as it worked its way mercilessly inside of him.

Tibri could feel himself grow hard as the goo tendrils stimulated his prostrate, though as he tried to reach down and stroke it he found his wrists bound by another tentacle. As he looked down he noticed that his impressive length had begun to dribble pre, which quickly turned a bright blue as his body was slowly being converted from the inside. This was it, he realized, there was nothing he could do now except wait to succumb to his fate. As more tears, also slightly blue in color, ran down his face he whispered a mental prayer of apology to Zar'dirin and Aki that he wasn't stronger...

Meanwhile in the Captain's room Aki suddenly saw Zar'dirin's eyes grow wide as what had been a stalemate finally broke and blue lines of goo begun to creep across Tibri's fur. "Oh no..." he whispered, his hands to face. "He lost... we've lost..."

"Lost?" Aki asked, confused for a few seconds before his hands suddenly shot down to his stomach as he could feel something move inside of him. "Zar, what's happening to me?!"

"Master... no, Falcai placed a seed of himself inside of you." Zar said as he fell to his hands and knees. "You're being converted into a slave, as we all will. Tibri... I'm sorry."

Aki tried to continue to prod the dragon for more information, but as he opened his mouth a thick stream of blue goo escaped past his lips. The squirming in his body was quickly apparent as tentacles, his fur had begun to melt in places and his cock turned blue as is writhed in his own accord. He looked over at the goo horse and saw that he was mindlessly stroking his member, then back to Zar who had begun to do the same. As Tibri's body continued to become infested with the blue goo of his captor, the wolf found himself growing angry instead of frightened. Something inside his brain told him to fight, that if he didn't this would be all his fault because their hope submitted to save him.

"Zar..." Aki said as he stepped forward, ignoring the tentacles that begun to push out of his skin. "Please tell Tibri I'm sorry, but I won't let him fail because of me."

"Wha... what do you..." the dragon looked up to see the partially converted wolf in front of him, a look of grim determination on his face as he suddenly darted towards the two. "Aki, don't! You can't fight him! You'll die!"

But Aki didn't listen; he just continued to run forward until he leapt in the air straight at Tibri. They collided and the force of the wolf's moment drove both of them straight into Falcai's body. The reaction was immediate, the rest of his body quickly turned to goo and disappeared while a fuzzy cloud of black began to from around Tibri's body. Zar stood up once more, unsure of what he had just witnessed...

In the mental realm Tibri watched as his muzzle and throat, as well as his groin and thighs had completely been converted to a blue goo form. The pleasure was intense, it burned away all other thoughts aside from the knowledge that obedience to his new master would continue to keep his euphoria. The tentacle in his tailhole seemed to pulse inside of him as more and more of his body was converted. Soon... soon he would be nothing more than another goo creature, always yearning for his master to be inside of him.

A sudden screech snapped him out of his reverie, and he found the tentacles quickly ripped out of his body as the monster writhed in terror. As he took a few seconds he realized that while he was still horny his body was back to his own self, and even more surprising was that the tips of the tentacles that were inside of him had turned black and furry. The tiger was unsure of what to do at that point, though one of his paws had idly gone to stroking himself as the creature hissed and fell upon itself. As he watched he suddenly felt a weight behind him and another hand on his cock that wasn't his own.

"Let me take care of that." A familiar voice said behind him. As he spun around he saw Aki behind him, a sad smile on his face as he continued to rub his member. Tibri had to blink several times to see that it was real, especially when he noticed that the wolf didn't seem to have a tail. Even as he looked at him he saw that his feet had begun to disappear as well. "You've fought hard for us, I want to help somehow."

"Aki... how are you here?" Tibri stammered as he could do nothing but watch his friend continue to massage and tease his member. "I thought..."

"I pushed you into him." Aki replied as he brought up a deteriorating finger to the tiger's lips. "Frankly I'm surprised I'm able to see you one last time, but I'm glad. I want you to beat this bastard for what he did to us... for what he did to me."

"Aki... no." Once more tears ran down the tiger's face as he hugged what was left of wolf's form. "You've always been there for me; you can't leave now... there's so much I want to tell you. I... I..."

Tibri felt himself get hugged tightly back as he buried himself in the wolf's soft furry shoulder. "I know Tibri..." Aki said as his grip loosened slightly. "All this time we were together, I was scared to tell you about the feelings I had, worried you weren't like that. Now I see you felt the same way, and I'm sorry we couldn't have spent more time together. Tibri... you... and I..."

There was a light gasping noise, and the tiger felt the thing he desperately tries to hold onto dematerialize from his grasp. When he opened his eyes there was nothing left of the wolf aside from what appeared to be a thin, red gel on the front of his body. He let out a strangled cry as he realized that was all that was left of his love, his teeth gritted as let out a loud cry. Aki was gone, sacrificing himself to keep him and the crew safe from a live of slavery.

Tibri turned towards the still thrashing monster and as he stared at the thing that took the wolf away from him his sadness turned to murderous rage. "YOU!" He screamed as he lunged forward, dodging tentacles left and right as his hands morphed into huge steel claws. He slashed into the monster like a madman, the creature screaming as blue goo splattered left and right. Any tentacles that were foolish enough to get in his vicinity was quickly torn to pieces as he dug a hole into the monstrous goo creature.

Even as the goo body began to reform in front of him Tibri quickly slashed his way to his goal, a bright glowing stone that was the symbiote's heart. He thrust down to impale it, but as his hand reached into the hole a number of small tentacles wrapped around it and prevented it from moving. The tiger continued to slash with hellish ferocity, but there was too much goo for him to move close enough to the crystal. "Die already!" He screamed as his muscles strained to pierce the glowing heart.

Just then Tibri could feel the red goo on his body begin to move towards his bound arm. There wasn't much, but it was enough to form a thin, foot long red tendril that reached out. His heart felt heavy in his chest as he realized Aki once more was there to help him with what was left of his psyche. As the tendril wrapped around the heart the creature howled and hissed, especially as it was dragged by it towards the tiger. When it was finally close enough Tibri mustered all the strength of him and his pets and pushed his arm forward, and as his claw pierced the light the entire world seemed to explode in a brilliant flash of light as he felt himself seem to discorporate.

"Tibri? Tibri?!" Tibri heard in the next second as the light disappeared and he found himself in Zar's grasp. "Tibri, you're alive! You did it!"

The tiger was suddenly nearly strangled as the dragon picked up him and squeezed him tightly. As he set him back down however, he could see that Tibri's face was forlorn as he looked at the large lump of blue goo that sat lifelessly next to them. "Tibri... I'm so sorry." He comforted. "I know this might not mean much, but to give his life in order to protect you... well, that's probably the greatest token of love one can give someone else."

"Why..." Tibri finally replied as they looked out of the window into the inky blackness of space. "Why did it have to be him? I finally have an opportunity to see how he really feels, and before I could even ask he shows me my answer in his last act? I'll never have an opportunity to hold him, to lay with him. I didn't even have a chance to kiss him."

"How about now?" Tibri suddenly heard behind him. When he spun around he saw the very peculiar sight of a very well-built wolf comprised completely out of red, semi-transparent goo smiling at him. As soon as the tiger opened his mouth in question it lunged forward and embraced him, it's semi-solid tongue exploring every inch of the inside of his muzzle. When they finally broke apart Tibri had to look at the creature once more before he realized it was his Aki.

"Well I'll be." Zar said as he watched the two hug. "I have to say in all the years of ruling the Anarki I have never seen anyone actually steal another Master's power before."

"Well I couldn't just leave my tiger alone." Aki said happily. "It would be hard to be the only Master in a brand-new species, a very lonely existence. So when I had a chance to absorb Falcai's powers and take over in his place I thought why not, it would be better than losing half the crew."

As Tibri realized what the wolf was saying he looked around to see that both Mortimer and Panzer had reformed as well, though they were also made of red goo instead of blue and lost many of their monstrous traits. "By the way, can we please get Syr'kan to release the rest of my pets from the fire exhaust system? You'll find that they're back to their own selves once more."

"Yeah, yeah we'll get right on that." Tibri laughed as his hands continued to roam around Aki's new body. "Right after we make sure that new body of yours is okay."

"I agree." Aki said as his grin widened and his body moved swiftly behind the tiger's. Tibri could feel the wolf's maleness against his crack as his paws massaged and squeezed his chest. The lust and arousal they had felt before seemed to turn ten-fold back on them as Tibri spread his legs to allow better entrance. As he could feel the head of the canine member push past his anal ring he realized that several of his pets had come out to watch, which included a newly converted black and white Captain Tobias that had his hands around Taz and Syr'kan's cocks. The fact the others watched the two Anarki masters come mates only seemed to thrill both of them further as the wolf's groin became flush with his cheeks.

Their pets began to take matters into their own hands as well, Syr and Taz got into a sixty-nine as Tobias nearly pounced onto Samson to ravish him. Mortimer and Panzer, after the horse had a chance to catch the panther up on what was happening, locked each other into an embrace as their goo cocks pushed completely into each other's body. Tibri and Aki could feel the love and lust in all of their pets as the wolf continued to pound into his tight hole, the gooey appendage he had feared since it all started now felt wonderful inside of him as it was pushed impossibly deep into him. Their moans and groans filled the air as the all the lust they had dealt with came out in one massive wave of blissful sex.

It didn't take long for all of them to orgasm, Tibri's was easily the hardest as he cock bucked and shot its load onto the floor. His entire body shuddered from the force, the weight of Aki on his back heavy as the wolf came into him. For a while his vision tinted with red, and he realized with a bit of a grin that his mate had melted completely around him. It was the most erotic and loving thing that he had ever experienced, and he loved every second of it.

"Well, that was quite an entertaining show." They suddenly heard Zar'dirin said as they realized that he was in the room as well the entire time. "But now our two masters have to figure out what they want to do next. As the progenitors of a new race, your actions will shape our paths for centuries to come. We could find a nice planet and set up a civilization of our own, just use the ship and explore the far reaches of space..."

As Akidumaru reformed and sat down next to Tibri, holding hands as they smiled at each other. There was no need for the two to talk to each other; their feelings were communicated to one another through the bond they had created with each other. As two Anarki masters they would be an impressive force and their gift was far too precious to just keep to themselves. They certainly didn't want to follow in Falcai's footsteps, but if someone wanted to be converted willingly they could continue to thrive and prosper. "I know just what we want to do." Tibri said with a wide grin.

*********************************************************

In space station "Nightingale", a fox and lizardman sat in front of a large view screen that displayed all the ships that were currently docked in the station. They were in control of docking procedures, though the station was on the fringe of civilized space and didn't see a lot of travel save for exploration and research vessels. As the fox replayed the same level on his portable game station for the seventh time a hailing frequency came over the beacon.

"This is the Silvercobra." A voice came over the speaker after the lizardman pressed the response button. "We'd like to request docking, a meeting with all available ship captains, a T7-8SVH39 form and a SDF-T3495SE form."

"Roger that, docking clearance is granted for deck 6." The lizardman replied. "We'll give you word once we process your other requests."

As the lizardman turned off the beacon he looked over at the fox, who had turned off his game as he heard the request list. "What on earth are those forms?"

"The first one is the registration for the discovery of a new species." The fox replied in a confused manner. "That's not too weird considering the Silvercobra is a science vessel. The second one is far more interesting... it's the declaration of a new race for consideration in the Galactic Council."

"A new race, what in the world did they find out there?"
