#2 of Countdown

A piece for the Zsisron's hypnosis contest, where sometimes the most sinister device is one that is planted inside the realm of one's mind. As I wrote this I realized that I'm really rusty at traditional hypnosis... most of my mind control happens to be supernatural in origin so a long induction is not needed. This time I decided to really try and challenge myself with this concept, and I think it really worked well.


Countdown

By: ~Serathin, aka blacklatexdragon, aaka Renzyl

"I'm here at the Havensboro central air purification control station." A young lady in her late thirties said into the camera. "Behind me is a scene of chaos; a madman who has yet to identify himself has apparently claimed to have put a large bomb inside the control room of the purification tower processing station. How someone managed to get through the security countermeasures with an explosive device is anyone's guess, but we have been told that the bomb squad has entered the building in hopes of defusing it. One can only imagine how something like this even began..."

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

(Three days earlier)

"Ten seconds Frost..." The young man heard through the intercom in his helmet as he hunched down. He was dressed from head to toe in a specially made blast-resistant suit, thick black plates overlapping one another on an otherwise skintight outfit. He was able to reach down into his toolkit with ease and pull out a set of pliers, his gaze set on the device in front of him. "Nine... eight..."

"I can see the clock." Frost replied, watching the numbers on the electronic display click down to zero. Adrenaline filled his body as he slowly maneuvered the tool within the casing of the bomb, being careful not to touch any of the sensitive trigger mechanisms inside. The suit's specially designed fabric kept the sweat out of his eyes as he blinked twice in his left eye, which brought up a magnification on his visor's HUD display. The timer on the upper left hand corner synced with the timer on the bomb, which meant he could keep an eye as the numbers ticked downward.

"Four seconds..." he said to himself with a grimace as the end of the pliers reached down to what he believed to be the primary firing wire. He couldn't just cut the wire, he had to crimp the end to a grounding device so that the detonator thought it had fired without it actually doing so, otherwise it would activate a dead man's switch and blow up anyway. Using the end of the pliers he stripped the wire, and then carefully moved it to the side of the metal casing. "Three... two... one..."

Frost saw a blue arc of electricity pass between the wire and the casing, the timer clicking down to zero with a small ding. "Good work Frost." He heard in his helmet as the lights turned on, a buzzer sounding that indicated the training exercise was complete. "How does the new suit work?"

"Like a dream." Frost replied as he took off the helmet. "Almost like I was wearing nothing at all. Are you sure these things are rated to withstand an actual explosion?"

"Latest in the field, they call it dragonscale armor." Hammer, his superior officer who stood nearly a head above him as he appeared in the training room. "They were using it to defuse IED's in the Tuscan desert, supposedly a bomb went off that sent three of the men flying nearly twenty feet back, got a hell of a bruising but were able to get up and walk into the ambulance."

The two of them walked into the lockers of the Havensboro S.W.A.T. center, which Bomb Squad shared with every other branch of the Special Forces departments. With the reduced crime rate there wasn't as much need for separate branches, so an act passed by the Central Government conglomerated them all into one huge department. While it was a bit strange at first, it also meant that they were granted a brand new building. "Can't wait to test this one out in the field." Frost said as he started to take off the suit, only to have one their fellow squad members code named Icarus burst into the room.

"Keep it on Frost, we got a call!" Icarus shouted. "Top brass wants everyone suited up for this!"

"Looks like we'll be field testing these bad boys sooner than we thought." Hammer said as he tossed the helmet to Frost.

Ten minutes later he was in the transport van with Icarus and the other four members of the Havensboro bomb squad. Bruiser, a burly black man that could have been mistaken for Hammer's brother, quietly sat next to Frost as Pyro chatted his ear off about his date last night. On the other side of the van sat Mars, Silver, and finally their newest team member Icarus. While he knew all their real names it was protocol to keep to their code names, just in case someone tried to figure out who they really were. It was also the reason for the one way mirrors on their visors, to anyone looking at them all they would see was their own reflection in their new suits.

"So Silver, when are you finally going to get laid?" Pyro asked bluntly after he had finished telling them all about his latest conquest. "You are probably the only one that doesn't have a story to tell, well, except Bruiser who married the first person he dated."

"Hey, can't a guy be focused on his career?" Silver shot back. "I don't need a family right now to hold me down."

"Who said anything about a family?" Pyro replied with a grin and shrug. "I figure if I really wanted a kid I'd just grow one. Sex is just for fun nowadays, unless you really are into that old-fashioned way of procreation."

"Pyro, shut the hell up!" Hammer said as he slid back the window that divided the back of the truck from the front. "Alright men, this is what we got. A man called in twenty minutes ago saying that he had planted a bomb in the Blue Point warehouse district about two miles from the harbor. They said that the bomb will go off in ten minutes, and they did not give a reason or any demands."

"Great, so your garden variety nut-job." Mars said.

"This 'garden variety nut-job' also had military grade encryption on his line that has made it almost impossible to trace." Hammer said sternly. "Be on your guard gentlemen, we may be facing something that we're not prepared for. Just go by the book and you should be fine, heat scans have narrowed it down the location of the bomb to an unused section of the district."

After a few more minutes of waiting the truck came to a screeching halt, the men picked up their toolkit bags and jumped out of the back once they had stopped completely. The S.W.A.T. team had already set up a parameter and breached the warehouse, providing their team cover in case there were any hostile forces other than the bomb. As each area was clear they were escorted further into the building, until they finally reached the main body of the warehouse. Several armed men stood watch over the perimeter of the area as they stepped inside the huge space, some of them doing a double take at what they saw.

Sitting at the center of the concrete floor was a huge device, with a main central core and six outlying arms that had control panels on them. Inside the middle of the core was a large green container that bubbled and frothed, what they could only guess was the fuel source for the explosive. "Hammer, are you seeing this?" Frost said as he tapped his helmet, seeing the shocked face of his commanding officer in the corner of his viewscreen.

"Approach with extreme caution gentlemen." Hammer replied. "We're dealing with something far beyond our usual scope."

"You heard the man." Silver said as he pulled out a radio wave detection unit. "We play this one by the book. Observe, analyze, and disarm."

The rest of the men pulled out their own detection tools, sweeping the area for potential triggers as they slowly made their way towards the bomb. They didn't see any type of display for how much time was left, but unlike in the movies that was relatively normal. When they didn't find any type of device on it that could remote detonate the device they moved up towards it, all of them looking at the various mechanisms that made it up. As they looked at it from angles their recognition systems identified various components and sent them to their HQ where Hammer analyzed them.

"This thing is overly complex for a bomb triggering mechanism." Icarus said as they got a detailed report of the bomb's overall structure. "It looks like it can be disarmed at one of these control panels, but if you try to do it at any one terminal then the other five circuits would collapse and set it off. But if you do them all at the same time..."

"A six-man disarm switch huh?" Pyro said with a small chuckle as he set down his tool bag. "Good thing it's not seven, otherwise the ole Hammer would have to come out of retirement to help us out."

"Shut up Pyro." Hammer said as the schematic of the device once more came up on their viewscreens, this time with several areas highlighted in green. "Icarus is right; you are all going to have to work in sync with one another in order to defuse this thing safely. I've highlighted the parts that I believe are vital components to the firing mechanism, it's up to you to figure out the sequence."

"Right then, we got this." Mars said, the entire group pulling out their electronic circuitry tools. "Alright, this is my wheelhouse. Let's see... we got ten pins, five of them are on the main circuits, so I'm going to send you the diagnostics and set the bypass clips. On my mark... three... two... one..."

All of them immediately began to put their clips on, working in tandem with each other. Years of working together had allowed them to easily synchronize their efforts, working off the non-verbal clues of each other as they put the copper clamps onto the pins. The only one who fell a little behind was Icarus, but with Mars right next to him he was able to keep it together long enough to bypass the primary circuit. "Alright, primary lock is disengaged; we're on to the next task."

"Looks like there's a mechanical firing rig set up." Bruiser said. "We're going to have to disassemble the arm of the firing pin to completely disable this thing."

"More bad news." Pyro spoke up. "There's a small explosive sealant on the rigging, we're going to have to disable it before we can even open this thing. I'll work on an emulsifier to neutralize it, everyone get out your chemical kits."

"Roger that." Silver replied, everyone pulling their kits out. "Give us the details."

Pyro had his chemical analyzer up and put the reagents in his viewscreen, shaking the contents in a plastic bottle. He told the others to do the same, making sure that they did it in the correct order as their colleague did. Once finished they all applied it at the same time, the explosives bubbling and dissolving. With that obstacle out of their way they easily popped open the cases and looked inside.

"Looks like we just have to disable the air hydraulics." Frost said as the pulled out their tools. Suddenly they saw something that caused them all to have a cold chill running down their spines, one of the blank screens on the core of the bomb lighting up with a big ten on it. "We need to disable the air hydraulics quickly, just go for the tank!"

The timer began to count down as they all worked the nuts that connected the air tank. They could all hear the hiss of air escaping as they tossed down their tools and unscrewed the tanks. The timers on their viewscreens automatically synced up and began to show them the countdown. Frost could feel his heart pump rapidly as he saw the numbers tick down... eight... seven... as they got to the last turn he waited for them all to reach the same point. "Alright, use the clock to count it down." Frost said, his other teammates nodding as they took a firm grip on the canisters.

"Three... two... one..." There was a loud pop as they detached the containers, the air rushing out of the hoses as the metal canisters clanged to the concrete floor. They all looked up at the electronic clock as the rubber tubing depressurized, ticking down from four... three... two... everyone held their breath as it switched from one to zero. Everyone flinched as the metal arms moved, a loud screeching noise echoing through the warehouse.

"Good work gentlemen." Hammer said as they all breathed a sigh of relief. "Do your final checks and then pack it up. We'll get forensics in here to dismantle the thing to hopefully give us a lead on where this bomb came from."

The men all gave themselves pats on the back and congratulations on the job well done once they finished with their final diagnostics. Once they had finished packing away their equipment they put walked back out of the warehouse and into the car. No one talked, the adrenaline rush they had all just experienced waning as they allowed themselves to relax. When they got back to the station they were all treated to pizza, and the rest of their shift was spent laughing and joking with each other as they ate.

It was late by the time Frost got back home to his apartment, tired and weary from the ordeals of the day. Next to his apartment door was a package, something that was no doubt dropped off during his time at work. "I told them just to leave the packages at the front desk." He said with a sigh as he picked up the package and opened his door, taking it inside with him and closing it behind him.

Once he had a chance to sit down and relax he took the package he had set down on the coffee table and opened it, wondering what of his online purchases had come to door this time. Once he got through all the packaging he found that it was a single CD, marked 'Relaxation and meditation'. He scratched his head as he tried to remember when he even signed up for such a thing, but he figured it couldn't hurt to at least see what it was. Grabbing his laptop he popped the disc in, putting in his headphones.

"Ten seconds, that's it?" Frost muttered as the media player loaded up on his screen. When the file began to play it was the red number ten with a black background to it while nothing but static played in the background. The numbers began to count down until they reached zero, and then the file suddenly stopped. After that nothing happened, and he played the file once more just to see if he missed anything. "What the hell is this..."

He continued to play the file, trying to figure out how it had anything to do with relaxation or meditation. There was no way that anyone could go into one of those trances that fast, he reasoned, so it was either some sort of free trial or a waste of his money. As he turned up the volume on his computer he could pick up on something that was barely a whisper, but even with his volume on maximum it sounded like nothing but gibberish. Finally he decided to give up on the file as a waste of time, but as he looked down at his clock he was shocked to find that nearly half an hour had passed.

"Maybe... maybe I should call Silver in on this." He thought to himself as he grabbed his cell phone. As he was about to dial in his number his phone suddenly begun to ring, Silver's number appearing on the screen as he answered the phone. "Silver?"

"Hey Frost." He heard Silver's voice on the other line. "I got this weird CD in the mail and I just spent like the last half hour trying to figure it out. I was wondering if I could show it to you and see if you can make sense of it?"

"Sure, I was just actually about to call you myself." Frost replied. "We can crack open a few beers and try and figure this out." As Frost hung up the phone a nagging thought entered the back of his mind that he should turn this over to the captain and have the forensics team analyze it just in case, but he quickly pushed it down realizing that this was merely a strange coincidence and a personal matter.

Ten minutes later there was a knock on his door, opening it to find Silver standing there with his laptop in his hand. "Alright, let's do this." He said as he walked inside, taking the beer that Frost handed to him and cracking open the top. "You want to sync up our networks, or should I take the lead?"

"I got it." Frost replied, using his wireless router to link up the two systems. "Alright, now you press play when I press play, and maybe the two videos working together will help shed some light on this thing."

Once their two systems were properly linked up they both pressed play at the same time, the numbers counting down at the exact same time as they watched with their headphones in their ears. When the timer reached zero their web browsers suddenly opened, the video file automatically opening to a website. The both watched as bright flashing letters announced that they were the winners of a chance to see a brand new movie before it even came out in theaters. The movie was called 'Countdown', and as the title credits started to roll they both laughed when they realized what it was.

"A free advertisement all along." Frost said as he sat back on the sofa, watching as the movie began to play. It appeared to be a movie about the antics of a bomb squad like theirs, laughing and joking around before they suddenly get a call. Their commanding officer shouted that they all had ten seconds to get ready and get into the car, then started to count down as the others scrambled to get ready. As he continued to watch while the commander counted down the weight of the day suddenly falling on him. His posture slumped slightly as he listened to the numbers go down, his eyes closing on one...

That night he had the strangest dream, a dream of a world populated by strange half-men half-animal hybrids. It still functioned much like his own, the streets filled with cars while other people walked the city streets. His focused seemed to be on two of them, two black dragons that held hands as they walked. There was a familiarity about them that he couldn't quite place, as well as the street they walked on, until he realized that they were on the street that was connected to their headquarters.

As he continued to watch the two of them walked right up to their building and as they did he saw them turn to each other and kiss. It was an odd thing to witness, not only because they were strange creatures but because they were also both definitely male. They spoke something to each other, sweet nothings that were followed by a playful grope and a lustful smile. The two were soon joined by six other men, and as the dream began to get fuzzy they all suddenly bowed to one knee in the presence of a larger creature, whom he didn't see before everything went dark...

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

Frost awoke to the sound of the alarm buzzing in his bedroom, even though he had fallen asleep on the couch. His video player was still on, asking if he would like to replay the movie that he had fallen asleep in front of. As he started to get up he heard someone groan next to him, realizing that Silver had drifted off as well. When he finally got up and started to stretch however, he suddenly saw that both he and his friend were completely naked.

"What the hell!?" He shouted, loud enough to wake his friend as he grabbed a nearby comforter to cover himself up. When his friend was completely roused from his sleep he had the same reaction, confused at first and then filled with terror at his nude body.

"Dude, what the fuck just happened?" Silver shouted back, trying to find something to hide himself as well. "Why are we naked?! And where the fuck are my clothes?!"

Frost just shook his head as he tried to make sense of the whole situation, looking around for wherever they might have put their clothing during the night. It wasn't the first time they had seen each other naked, there were multiple times that they had showered together after training or worked out. But for his co-worker and friend to be naked in his own home was too strange, especially since he didn't remember doing it. "We... we must have gotten drunk last night or something..." he tried to explain. "Maybe the video had something to do with it, perhaps we should watch it again."

"Are you kidding, we're going to be late as it is!" Silver replied angrily as he looked at the clock. "Let's just... we'll figure this out later, let's just get to work and pretend this never happened."

Finally the two found their clothing, folded up and put into a neat pile in the bathroom as though waiting for them. They were in too much of a hurry to dwell on the strangeness of it; instead they got their clothing on as hastily as possible before rushing out the door. Since Frost only lived a few blocks from the station they decided to walk it, not bothering to fight the early morning traffic that usually clogged the city streets. As they walked down the side walk it struck him as odd how familiar it was to his dream, except for the fact that everyone wasn't a weird animal creature. He had taken this walk hundreds of times before, which meant that the dream likely involved something familiar to him.

He was just about to tell Silver his revelation when he noticed he had a peculiar look on his face, as though he was in deep contemplation. "It's nothing..." Silver said when he asked him what was up. "Felt like deja-vu."

The two of them walked inside their branch to find that everyone else was already inside the briefing room, where Hammer had a diagram of the bomb they defused yesterday.

"Bout time you two showed up." Hammer said as he gestured to their seats. "Alright, so it turns out this freak show wasn't actually going to blow up anything, the liquid in the middle that we thought was a powerful explosive was actually nothing more than a harmless chemical compound. We also found a transmitter and webcam hidden in one of the corners of the building, apparently this sicko liked to watch."

"So if he wasn't going to blow anything up, then what was his motive?" Pyro asked.

"We're still working on that." Hammer replied. "Until we get a concrete answer I want everyone to stay alert and on-call, we don't know when this guy will try the real thing, or where. We will do our standard training exercises, but we will do so in our new V1 suits to minimize prep time. Consider yourselves on high alert."

The meeting continued with a few maintenance issues, then dismissed everyone to their duties. Silver and Frost continued to avoid eye contact with each other, going to separate training areas once they all had changed into their suits in order to avoid any awkwardness.

"I suppose I could see if Mars is in the computer room." Frost muttered to himself, hoping to brush up on his circuitry bypass maneuvers. When he got there he heard Mars' voice talking to someone, instructing them on how to hack into a protected network. As he walked further in his eyebrow cocked slightly as none of the computers were occupied, and in one of the corners there was a soft blue glow. Curious, he snuck passed the computer banks in order to try and see what was happening when he heard Icarus as well.

"Thanks for teaching me how to do this... and for your help on yesterday." Frost heard Icarus say as he rounded one of the tables.

"Hey, no problem." Mars replied. "Always a pleasure to help."

Frost had to cover his mouth as he finally saw the two, his eyes widening in shock. They had set up their laptops on the floor, and while both of them stared at it Mars was on top of the younger bomb squad member with his hands wrapped around his waist. His hips were gently moving up and down, and every time he moved up Frost could see his erect cock poking out from the suit and pushing into Icarus' ass. With their suits on they looked almost alien, their black armored bodies grinding against one another as they continued to focus on the screen. Even as his eyes remained glued on that large cock plowing into the other male that too seemed to change, black creeping down the length with every thrust.

"Alright, let's do another speed drill." Mars said, reaching out and punching in some commands on the keyboard while still keeping his rhythm. "I'll count it down. Ready... and ten... nine... eight..."

Frost's vision began to grow fuzzy as he heard the other man count down, his own member beginning to throb in his suit as he heard those all too familiar numbers. He stumbled out of the room as quick as he could, the other two far too busy having sex to notice his clumsy departure. As he left the room his mind began to clear once more, though the feelings of horniness remained. His hand absentmindedly went down and began to stroke his hardening member as he went down the hallway looking for help.

Meanwhile Silver waited in the locker room for a bit, still trying to make heads or tails of the situation. He didn't remember drinking anything at Frost's place, or doing anything other than sitting down and watching that stupid movie. As he continued to dwell on the memory his mind suddenly turned to Frost's naked body, and despite being covered up how good he looked. He could feel his cheeks burning in slight embarrassment, trying not to recognize the obvious crush he had on the handsome man. None of the other men knew that he was gay, and the last thing he wanted to do was make some sort of move on one of them.

"We cannot go two out of three on this." Silver suddenly heard Bruiser say, causing him to look up from the bench. He brought up the clock on his viewscreen and was shocked to find that he had spent nearly an hour in meditative contemplation on his friend, which also brought an unwanted side-effect as he could feel the front of his suit bulge with his erection. "I won, now pay up."

"Yeah yeah, whatever." The other voice, unmistakable as Pyro, replied. "I'm totally going to rail you next time though." Silver rolled his eyes slightly, knowing the two were competitive in nearly everything they did. The last thing he wanted them to see though was him sporting a full hard-on at work, so he stealthily peeked around the lockers to see if he had a clear shot to the bathroom.

What he saw caused him to nearly fall over, Bruiser stood there right in the middle of the locker room while Pyro was kneeling with his helmet open and had his face buried in the other man's crotch. At first he thought it was some sort of joke, but as Pyro tilted his head back and let out a muffled moan he could clearly see his mouth wrapped around Bruiser's thick, black cock. He had to blink several times in order for him to believe the sight in front of him, but even shaking his head couldn't get rid of the two suited males.

"This can't be happening..." Silver said in disbelief as he watched Pyro swirl his tongue around the thick member as he bobbed up and down on the huge length. "Bruiser is married... and Pyro is always bragging about his conquests..."

As Silver continued to watch something strange began to happen, every time Pyro dragged his lips back it almost seemed like his face was stretching to accommodate more and more of the girthy shaft. When he paused for a second his face didn't push back in, in fact it continued to push out as he heard the sound of bones cracking and shifting. Pyro's head began to shake as his hands went up to Bruiser's hips, almost like he was having a seizure as his nose flattened and merged with his face until it was only two slits. Bruiser didn't seem to even notice, even when his hand brushed against the blackening skin of his former friend's face, the tips of his own fingers stretching the nano-polymer of the suit into what looked like claws as they started to shake as well.

"Unnn, you are good at this." Bruiser rumbled, his voice even deeper than before as he began to thrust his hips forward into the changing human's mouth. "Gonna blow... in... ten... nine..."

Silver stumbled backwards as he suddenly felt his chest tighten, as though his lungs were starting to be compressed as he ran out of the locker room. He nearly ran into Frost as he burst out of the door, both of them looking at each other, then down at their hard cocks. A wave of lust ran over them both and they opened their helmets right before they rushed forward and kissed each other. Their tongues twined around their open mouths as they embraced, grinding their groins against one another before they managed to separate their bodies.

"Something's... wrong..." Frost said as he panted. "I just saw Mars... and Icarus..."

"Bruiser and Pyro too." Silver confirmed. "Something's happened to us... all of us. When Pyro was doing things to Bruiser his face began to change... and when I was watching them I think it started to happen to me too."

"We need to tell someone." Frost said, slamming his fist down in his palm. "They can run tests and do blood samples. Hell, if they can build air purifiers to remove the entirety of a century of pollution then they can fix whatever we're experiencing."

The two men began to walk down to the chief's office when they were suddenly stopped by Icarus and Mars, who were holding a cardboard box as they moved towards them. "Hey guys, we got something new for our suits!" Icarus said excitedly as he held up the box. "Some sort of bonding polish, it's supposed to make them resistant nearly everything. We were just about to hook up with Pyro and Bruiser to try it out, want to come?"

"I don't think so." Silver quickly said, holding his hands up. "In fact, I think we all need to-"

"Come on, it'll only take like... ten seconds." Mars interrupted. Both Silver and Frost could feel their bodies relax upon the mention of the time, their arms going down to their sides.

"I suppose it couldn't hurt to try it out." Frost said, his voice slightly monotonous as his eyelids drooped a bit. Silver merely nodded, the two men following them as they went back into the locker room. Pyro and Bruiser were standing there, still in the same place that Silver had left them before except now they were both decent. "Are we ready to do this thing?"

"Ready when you are." Pyro replied.

"Alright, everyone in the shower." Mars instructed, the six of them going into one of the communal showers. It was empty this time a day, everyone either out on training exercises or doing paperwork.

Icarus pulled out a black bottle and poured a black gel onto his lycra covered hand, then began to slather it all over Mars' back. "There's two more in there, I think it would be easier if we paired up and applied it to each other."

Silver nodded and pulled out one of the bottles, not even remembering what he and Frost had wanted to do beforehand as he squirted a large dollop into his hand. As Pyro pulled out the last bottle he found a tape recorder strapped to it, which he absentmindedly pressed play on before beginning to apply the stuff to Bruiser's back.

"If you are hearing this, then you're all ready for the next step of the process." A smooth, soothing voice said as Silver rubbed the strange material into the armor plates of Frost's bodysuit, which caused him to moan slightly. "You will all help humanity take the next step towards its new future, but to do that you must prepare yourselves in body and mind. I have already provided you with the base, now you must unlock the gift I have given you while I help expand your minds."

As the voice continued Frost turned around and grabbed the bottle, putting the gel in his own hands before he began to rub up and down Silver's chest. "Now I want you all to relax and listen to your bodies as the suits you are no doubt wearing absorb the chemical compound, altering it to better fit your new physiques. There is nothing to fear, nothing will harm you as you change. In fact it will be quite pleasurable, listening and relaxing while the one who've you trusted with your life rubs you down."

Both Silver and Frost could feel their minds begin to grow even foggier as they listened to the almost melodic voice on the tape, their bodies growing warm as a pleasurable tingle began to suffuse into their skin. "You are all so good at obeying, listening to those who are your superiors... like me. Let me in and mold your minds and bodies and you will be rewarded with the most exquisite pleasure you could ever feel... the pleasure only brought about by another male."

Frost could feel his inner mind rebel slightly at that, not believing in sex between two of the same gender, but at that moment Silver's hand brushed against his groin and a wave of bliss wiped that thought completely out of his mind. Everywhere their bodies glistened the suit began to warp and twist, along with their own bodies underneath as they began to grow bigger. Scales grew unseen under the rubbery material that matched the pattern of the armored plates, their chests heaving as their breathing grew deeper and more deliberate.

"Already your bodies have been to change, sensing the love and pleasure of your chosen mate." The voice continued, though now only their subconscious minds could hear it as the others were too busy exploring their changing bodies. Mars and Icarus had already finished applying the entire bottle to each other and had fallen into a sixty-nine position, their legs twitching and cracking as huge talons stretched and grew from their widening feet. With each push deeper into each other's mouths their spines began to extend out, their suits growing to accommodate the growing nub of flesh as it grew out into a full tail.

"You will find that the more you accept it, the more you submit to my voice, and the more your pleasure and bodies will grow." Pyro and Bruiser were content on merely kissing each other as they frotted, Pyro's cock matching Bruiser's in length as their hands rubbed them together while Bruiser's face stretched out to match Pyro's, filling with sharp fangs as their lengthening tongues curled around one another. Two points began to push out of their helmets, the normally hardened steel pushing out like taffy until two large horns adorned their helmets that also configured to match their new faces.

"That's it, just submit and obey... feel how good it is for me to control you with the sound of my voice." Frost and Silver were the most resistant to the effects, but they were quickly succumbing to their own lusts as their hands went down to their groins and rubbed their changing members. "In ten seconds it will be like none of this had ever happened, but your bodies and your suits will remember the pleasure of submission, the pleasure of my voice... and my orders..."

Silver and Frost heard the voice begin to countdown, also saying stuff that they no longer cared to hear but their minds still remembered. Ten... they brought their lips together as they felt their backs begin to bulge. Nine... they let out a small moan as a pair of wings began to sprout from the backs, covered in black and armor stretching over them. Eight... seven... their minds were dragged down into blackness as Silver turned around, bending over slightly as his new appendages flapped into the air. Six... Five... Four... a tiny voice in Frost's mind tried to warn him that something wasn't right, but the sight of that black-lined hole, the barest nub of a tail starting to form, was too much for him and he slowly pushed the head of his larger cock in. Three... his member pushed easily inside, the material seeming to cling so Silver's insides... two... as he gripped the former human's changing hips his fingers twisted and reshaped into claws. One... he could feel his balls begin to pulse as he began to push in and out of the bent over human in earnest, his lengthening tongue lolling out of his mouth as he could feel his climax coming...

Zero...

Frost nearly jumped out of his seat as he suddenly realized he was in the briefing room, the other six men looking at him as he took a second to gain his composure. "As I was saying..." Hammer said. "You all did really good day, especially on your teamwork drills. I want you all to take the rest of the day off, but as a precaution I want you to keep the suits on, they're built for long stretches of wearing so you can even sleep in them if need be. Just be on high alert."

As they all got up and started to leave Frost looked at each of his teammates, as though his mind struggled to remember something that he could quite remember. "Hey Frost, I think I left my laptop at your place... as well as my car." Silver said as they walked out of the meeting hall. "Mind if I stop by and pick it up?"

"Sure." Frost replied, his body shivering slightly as he felt Silver's hand on his shoulder. "C'mon, we can order in something and make a night of it." They walked out of the door and back out onto the street, making their way back to Frost's apartment. As they walked along the streets they got strange looks, grinning sheepishly at each other as they realized they had gone out in the suits still with nothing over them. Their captain had been right though; they were extremely comfortable and felt like normal clothing to them.

When they got back to the apartment Silver offered to order the pizza as Frost sat down on the couch, noticing that their laptops were still asking if he wished to replay the movie that they had watched. It reminded him of something... something he was supposed to do or tell someone, but he quickly pushed it from his mind as he queued the movie back up.

"We're really going to watch this thing again?" Silver said with a smirk as he sat down beside him. "We already fell asleep once."

"Well I'm curious." Frost shot back. Silver laughed and they both sat back with a beer as he turned on the player once more. They got through the first part alright, though as they passed the scene with the commander's countdown for them to get ready they both started to grow tented in their pants. As the movie progressed the squad was trying to stop a mad scientist who was trying to turn the world into animals, though the dialogue was so horrible that they couldn't help but laugh at it. "God, what a low budget film."

About halfway through the doorbell rang, Frost getting up and grabbing the pizza before setting it down on the coffee table. "What the hell?" He said as he opened the box, finding not only their food but a small tape recorder. "This seems... familiar..."

He absentmindedly flicked the switch as his eyes went once more back to the screen, where the bomb squad was trying to disarm the bomb while at the same time turning into animal men after being exposed to the mutagen. "Good evening gentlemen." The voice said, the pleasant vibrations of his voice causing the two men to go slack. "My name is Dr. Ian Sirius, and by now you've gotten to the best part of the little movie I made. I apologize for not training you in person, but circumstances have forced me to remain hidden until the time is right."

In the movie the timer on the bomb began to count down, starting at ten and beginning to count down slowly in true movie fashion. "Everything you see here will help you for what is about to come, I have already had other plants move the necessary equipment into your cases." The voice instructed. "They will be your escort if all goes to plan, and then you two can finally express the love that you now share for each other."

The two men looked at each other, realizing that the voice was right. "Ten... expressing your love while soaking in the knowledge from the movie." They moved to face each other, still keeping one eye on the movie as they ran their hands along each other's face. "Nine... feeling yourselves change, no longer needing the suits to guide your bodies." The two men took off their suits, a fine dusting of black scales already on their bodies as they stripped naked. "Eight, feeling your bodies react to each other, opening your minds to my instruction, obeying my words."

"Frost..." Silver said, hearing the voice say six, knowing that obedience to the voice's words brought them both pleasure. "Ever since I saw you I wanted you. I think... I think I love you."

Frost knew he should have been taken aback by his friend's confession of love, but as he heard five said in the background he knew that he had the same feelings. "I think I love you too Silver... but I just didn't know it until now. We've already been friends, but now I know it's deeper than that. I want you Silver, in body and soul."

Silver let out a cry of joy and turned himself around, his claws digging into the couch as he flipped up his tail and presented himself. Four was heard by both, but all Frost could focus on was that tight pucker in front of him. He grabbed his hard cock, now back to its eight inch length and covered in pleasure inducing ridges, and slowly pushed a finger into the ring of muscle with his other hand. He was surprised to find it loose, and as though he had just been taken as he removed the digit and replaced it with his cock.

"Oh God yes!" Silver shouted out, almost drowning out the voice saying three, telling them to explore their new bodies that they had graciously given them. "Ride me Frost, take me as deep as that dragon cock can!"

Frost was more than happy to oblige, licking down Silver's back and causing his newly formed wings to shudder as he pistoned in and out of his tailhole. At the same time he took his hands and wrapped them around his own member, causing his mate to let out a loud groan. Every time Frost hit his prostrate he could feel that draconic dick jump in his hands, which caused him to growl in pleasure. He was able to please his mate so well, just as the voice told him as their minds continued to grow fuzzy. They didn't need to think anymore, the pleasing and relaxing voice as in control now. It had given them such pleasure already, the couch creaking as both their frames swelled to almost seven feet and four hundred pounds of muscle.

Two... their mating was driven almost entirely by lust, the voice instructing them to give them complete control of their bodies and minds. They became nothing more than rutting beasts, under the mental collar of the mysterious voice as they felt nothing but pure pleasure and obedience. One... their climaxes were accompanied by a thunderous roar as Frost's seed pumped into his insides, at the same time Silver's draconic cum spilling onto the cushions. As they heard the final number called they passed out, on top of one another and in their own fluids...

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

This time they were awoken in the morning not by Frost's alarm clock, but by both of their phones ringing. They quickly untwined themselves from each other, their human bodies returned to them during the night, and answered it. On the other line was their dispatcher, informing them that someone just called in a credible bomb threat to the central air purification station. They quickly put their suits on, not bothering to talk to each other about the awkward position they found themselves in as it didn't seem that important to them. As they ran down the stairs they decided to take Silver's car, hopping into the vehicle and burning rubber as soon as they hit the road.

It only took them twelve minutes to get the central purification station, but by that time it was already swarming with camera crews, police, firefighters, and S.W.A.T. As Silver and Frost got out they saw that both Pyro and Bruiser as well as Icarus and Mars had also shared rides, though the severity of the situation prevented them from forming the connection as they ran up to their own dedicated fan.

"Good, already suited up, your equipment is still in the van where you left it." Hammer said as he looked down at a tablet. "Initial specs say that the bomb is the same design as the last one, and somehow they got it through security and up into the central processing station. Good news is that none of the biological agent detectors had gone off, which meant that this device is either purely for destruction or it's very well hidden. I can't stress how important it is to save this structure, without it the remote air towers can't pump out the purified air until it's fixed."

"Still no motive yet?" Pyro asked. "What makes you think it might have been biological?"

"We found some strange residue of the tubing and air tank of the first bomb, but don't concern yourself with that." Hammer replied. "Just get in there and do what you do best. Gonna need all of you again, assuming that it's another six man disarm switch."

The group nodded and rushed in with their S.W.A.T. escort, the doors opening for them as they stormed past the lobby and moved towards the elevators. "Alright then, fan out as soon as we get to the station, once we're at the bomb we'll do our sweeps for remote detonators." Frost instructed the four men acting as their escorts. "Just make sure that you don't trip anything while you move out."

It took a minute before the elevator finally reached the top floor of the tower, the doors opening to a deserted hallway. The S.W.A.T. team went first, checking all the rooms before they got to the heavy blast door at the end of the hallway, swiping a pass to open the locking mechanism. As the steel retreated into the walls the six members of the bomb squad froze, seeing a similar device to the one they had just defused a few days before. Unlike the last one, however, this one had a huge display that wrapped around the core with the number ten on all the screens.

"Ten... what does that mean?" One of the S.W.A.T. members asked, oblivious as the six members of the bomb squad dropped their bags and zipped them open. They pulled out a strange looking gun, the chamber glowing slightly green as they fired upon the men in front of them, all of them letting out a small cry as they fell to the floor while the darts pumped their bodies full of concentrated mutagen. Frost and the others stepped over their bodies as they began to expand, clutching their heads as their clothing ripped from the new muscle growing beneath it. Once they were inside they sealed the doors shut to prevent any intrusion, nodding to each other before they each took up one of the six air purifier main feeds.

Ten... they took their electronic bypass kits and quickly and simultaneously breached the alarm and shutdown circuitry. As soon as they were finished the device in the center ticked down to nine, all of them pulling out their chem kits and mixing a reagent to safely pull the environmental seals off. At the same time their own bodies began to change, the action of fulfilling their duty to their master causing them great pleasure. Eight... they applied the mixture as their chests and abs grew even more defined, the skin hardening with scales as they put the kits away. Seven... they pulled out their tools and rerouted the air motors, preventing them from shutting down.

All six men turned their heads as they heard a bang on the door, the other members of S.W.A.T. trying to barge in. As their tails pulled away from their bodies they turned back to continue, knowing they would be late. Six... they pulled out the containers that used to hold their bomb disposal cases and pulled out a glass cylinder filled with green liquid, arming the device. Five... they all put the device in the receptor tubes and locked them into place. Four... all six of them moved over to the monitor and overrode the delay timer, priming it for maximum exposure.

The door behind them began to open, but it was quickly held in place by two bull, a horse, and a rhino man who still wore the tatters of their S.W.A.T. uniforms. A gun did manage to shoot the device in the center of the room, but that piece of machinery was merely a trigger for them, a trigger for the real bomb that had been planted that day. Three... they cracked the glass of the emergency release switch... two... they all put their thumbs over the button, giving each other one last look... one... Frost glanced over at his mate, sending a message of love and his joy of starting a brand new world they could live in harmoniously.

Zero...

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

"This is Martin Collins at the number five purification tower!" A news reporter said, a black obelisk type structure emitting green smoke from its cap. "We have just received word that a biological agent has been released into the atmosphere from the tower! All personal need to evacuate immediately as this gas is potentially lethal and... and..."

The green smoke swept over them like a fog, the news reporter falling out of camera range as other fleeing civilians also collapsed to the ground in the background. Their bodies began to shift, turning into all sorts of creatures as they ripped their clothing from their bodies. The process only took a minute, and once the changes past the people who had fallen began to get up and look at themselves in awe and wonder. Those who were already couples had already started to make out, some of them even rutting as they took to their new forms very quickly.

"Ahem, this is Martin Collins, once again reporting." An ocelot man said as he got back up once more and looked at the camera with a huge smile as he adjusted his now ill-fitting suit. "It appears that the gas is actually extremely beneficial and not hazardous as we once thought, so we urge all citizens to come outside and join in this new revolution of science. We will now go back to the station, where our new stag and wolfess anchorfurs will give us a report on sports and I can take this tasty cameraman for a ride..."

The mutations spread like wildfire, no one able to really hide as the serum poured out across the land. The government made the mistake of bringing people in to try and contain it, only adding to their numbers and causing it to spread even more. Once it was revealed that everyone who had been exposed had their aging reduced to next to nothing, more and more ignored the side-effect of turning into an anthro for the ability to live an extremely extended life. More and more air purifiers fell, whether by sabotage or actual decree, and in the matter of only a few years nearly 95% of the population had been converted.

The mastermind behind all of it, Dr. Ian Sirius, finally came out and revealed himself to the public. He had turned himself into a nearly ten foot tall, heavily muscled dragon man with his initial experiments with the serum, and realized that it was gift that he had to share with everyone. The newly transformed public, under the combination of the chemicals and subliminal messaging he had hardwired into the PA system, had quickly come to love him and quickly installed him into power. As he ruled over the country foreign dignitaries came in to investigate this unusual revolution, often coming back to their places of power with new bodies and praises for the miracle body enhancement.

A decade passed and nearly the entire world had succumbed to Dr. Sirius, the dragon's banner stretching out over many countries that were either taken by diplomacy or by force with a weaponized version of the serum. Only a few small pockets of human resistance remained, fighting an otherwise completely converted society.

Frost and Silver sat on the couch of their home, enjoying a crackling fire as the winter wind swirled around outside. On the floor their son, a fine and handsome dragon that had been created of their DNA through science, sprawled out on the floor with his latest gamepad. Even though he was only two he had already reached an age of maturity, thanks to growth and mental acuity accelerators that ensured that all citizen's children quickly reached their prime. The two males sighed happily as they rested their heads on each other, thankful for everything they had been blessed with.

A sudden ring at the door caused them all to look up, Frost getting up and going to answer it. As soon as he opened the door he immediately went down on one knee, averting his eyes to the floor. "Master..." he said, causing Silver to hop over the couch and bow next to his mate. "How may we serve? Have the nagas begun to cause trouble again?"

"We found a pocket of human resistance a few miles out of town." Sirius informed them. "We think they might be launching a terrorist attack. As my royal guard you will accompany me to make sure the threat is eliminated. You have ten seconds to get ready."

As the two dragons quickly got up and ran to their rooms to grab their suits their son walked over, bowing down as well. "I thought humans were just a myth." The young dragon said, which caused the huge dragon to chuckle.

"They soon will be, once they see the error of their ways." Sirius replied, rubbing the dragon on his chin as he stood up. "My guards have raised a fine boy, I will see that you are inducted into training as soon as you are ready."

"My body and spirit are yours to command." The young dragon said with practiced ease, which cause Sirius to murr in pleasure before his fathers came back down in their suits.

"Let us go, my most loyal subjects." Sirius ordered before the took off, four other black dragons joining them as they cruised through the snowy sky.
