Book1: Demise of True Blue
Spring X045
Chapter 1
James Byron was the head scientist for Luxtor Corporation, owned by Lynx Luxtor, a multi-billionaire. Dressed in his usual white lab coat, the thinly framed 31 years old man moved agilely around the small dark lab. After using state-of-the-art laboratories, this was a joke to the renowned scientist. Once worked as the right-hand man of his lover, James was on a mission to avenge his boss. Yes, Lynx Luxtor had made many questionable business choices but that’s not going to stop James. After the Supes locked him up, James had only one goal and that is to make the one responsible for this pay – True Blue, the leader of the Cindra Alliance.
As he glanced around the small dark lab, spread out in front of him were mountainous stacks of studies on the hero, documenting everything to know about this god-like muscle stud from his private life, physical stats, and down to his very biological anatomy. For months, the scientist had no progress until he made a small discovery.
Turning over to his little setup of chemicals and bubbling flasks, the concoction is about to be completed. Known for his famed invulnerability, True Blue is impervious to all harm that befalls him. But this concoction… Targeted to change the very molecular structure of one’s body, this would be the downfall of mighty True Blue.
Shivers went down his spine as he thought about how he is going to avenge his lover. James proceeded to complete his concoction with the final ingredient.
*Drip*
Effervescence erupted from the concoction.
“…”
This is odd. Something seems wrong…
Chapter 2
“It seems like everyone’s out.”
Alone in the mission room, lit only by the screens in front of him, True Blue finished submitting his report for the night. It was a long night and he had just stopped a meteoroid from crashing into Earth. Although unscathed, debris from the meteoroid had shredded his blue-white suit in various parts, exposing his bare rock-hard muscles beneath.
The towering 6ft 8 (2.1m) leader of the Cindra Alliance was quite a specimen of a superhero with muscles rippling through his arms. With dark luscious locks, piercing blue eyes, impeccable jawline, and perfectly shaped high cheekbones, True Blue turned eyes wherever he went. A white cape rested on his bowling ball shoulders and flowed down his tapered waist. The symbol “T” spread across the front of his suit, highlighting the smooth mountainous pair of pectoral muscles, topped with pert nipples and a glorious set of eight packs. His tights were thick as tree trunks and between them was a sizable package that left nothing to imagine.
Since young, the hero was brought up by a pair of devoted churchgoers. True Blue embodied the modest moral upbringing and is convinced that sex was shameful unless between married couples. As a straight Alpha male, he was every lady’s dream, but the stud believed in saving himself for the right one.
From the countless screens in the mission room, there was a bank heist going on at the city’s downtown and some supervillain was involved. His team members seemed pretty occupied. “Seems like they could use some backup,” thought True Blue. As he was about to head out to join his team, one of the screens flashed red.
Chapter 3
Orange Walk District, an industrial area filled with factories pumping out fumes during the day but creepily quiet at night. But not tonight, the area had been cordoned off by the police and firefighter departments. Emergency vehicles lined the narrow roads of the industrial park. The district was raining with soot from the fires raging on in one of the factories.
“A couple of chemical tanks exploded about 20 minutes ago. There were no causalities but reports showed that there are still a number of researchers trapped in the labs.” said the Commissioner. Commissioner Bridgeman was one of True Blue oldest and trusted friends. While at the age of 49, the man obviously had been working out regularly, and can easily be seen by how he filled out his uniform quite nicely. “We can’t go in as the chemical fumes are too thick. With the fires, we can’t send the hazmat squad in as well. We will have to rely on you again, True Blue.”
“Rest assured, Commissioner. Leave them with me,” reassured True Blue in his deep manly voice. He flashed his signature confident smile that puts the rest of the first responders at ease as the hunky hero headed toward the blazing building.
Chapter 4
Surrounded by flames, True Blue activated his heightened senses to scan the area. His heightened sight and hearing could detect minuscule movements and signals and it seemed that he had found his target. The whole factory was empty, except for one human detected, and it was from underground. The hero swiftly made his way towards the stairwell down and a large vault door came into sight.
That’s odd, that person had… disappeared?
The vault door was left unlocked, slightly open. Stepping into the small vault, the room was dark, almost pitch-black. The ground was filled to the hero’s ankle with some sort of green liquid… Some chemical perhaps.
Why are my senses not detecting anything here? And where is that person?
*Slam*
The vault was shut in and the room slowly glowed a faint red.
Chapter 5
Luminated in a faint red glow, the reinforced room was lined with pigeon-blood rubies. Commonly found, the gemstone is not a major threat to True Blue despite being his only known weakness. Many villains had attempted to take him down with pigeon-blood rubies but had failed. The reason being, the gemstones themselves cannot be broken by True Blue’s super strength, but they can only weaken the hero so slowly and slightly. Usually, before he even broke a sweat, the villains have been rounded up.
But this time, he was trapped. The room was lined wall to wall, floor to ceiling with pigeon-blood rubies. With enough time, it will be devastating. Rushing back to the door, he pulled with his super strength, the door barely budged. Pulling back his colossal arm, he launched a super-powered punch onto the vault door.
*BOOM* The room shook from the sheer raw power of the mighty hero but visually nothing happened. The rubies withstood the earth-shattering punch. Inspecting his knuckles, True Blue knew this was the perfect trap for him. But by who?
“Welcome True Blue” A voice echoed through the room, answering the hero’s internal thoughts.
Behind the hero, stood a tall muscular man with short dark hair and a well-trimmed 5 o’clock shadow. True Blue’s face frowned in disgust as he realized how skimpily the man was dressed. Strapped across his lightly-haired muscular pectorals was a black chest harness that glowed green and a black tong covered his groin. The man was almost naked.
After getting over the fact that he failed to detect someone else in the room, he noticed that the man looked very familiar under the dimmed red glow.
“James? James Byron?”
The sculpted villain laughed, “I am surprised you recognized me after my body transformation. After a small mishap in my lab, I have full control over my body.” James smiled slyly at True Blue. He flexed his massive biceps to which they ballooned even bigger by the seconds until seemingly humanly impossible, they bounced back to their shape again. “Of course, I gave myself a nice muscular and toned body.”
“Enough of your jokes, James. I don’t know what are your intentions to trap me in here but once I take you out, you can join Luxtor in his cell.”
“Don’t you mention his name so casually!” screamed James, pure hatred flashed across his eyes. “My name is not James. It’s Instincture.”
Chapter 6
Without wasting a moment, True Blue leaped forward to grab the crazed scientist in a body lock. He has to be cautious not to snap the man’s back as his super strength is still active even with the rubies slowly chipping it away. Instincture struggled against the muscular arms wrapped around his torse as he fought to get free. The villain was not a match for the hero’s super strength.
Knowing that he had the upper hand now, True Blue slowly pushed the muscle man to the ground, to make him succumb. However, the moment Instincture contacted the ground, he liquefied through the hero’s grip.
“What the!” exclaimed the confused hero as he stared blankly at the ground below him. Suddenly, a green fist-shaped blob erupted from the ground and right into his chin. A straight uppercut, knocking our hunk back to his feet and sending him staggering back a couple of steps.
The green blob grew and reformed a human shape. The villain’s masculine features returned as a translucent green Instincture cracked a laugh. “I’m not that weak scientist anymore. My body constitution is that of a slime. I can control how my body moves freely like a liquid and I can absorb the properties of whatever I touch. This whole ruby-lined room is filled with my body.” as the villain gestured to the entire ground. The pool of “green chemicals” were actually part of his body!
“The best of all, this slime body is your perfect counter.” True Blue maintained a determined look. It’s true. His power is super strength but strength is nothing to a blob of liquid. He can deliver punches all day to a puddle of water and nothing will happen. If what Instincture said was true, he would have also absorbed the properties of pigeon-blood ruby, making him all the more dangerous to our hero. Despite his predicament, the leader of the Cindra Alliance remained calm. He will have to figure this one out while waiting for backup.
In a true display of his might, he launched another super-powered punch into the villain’s chest. The muscular slime body exploded against the vault’s wall. “Ha! Not so tough after…. all?” said the muscled hero as the slime slowly reformed again.
“Ha-ha-ha! You can’t do any damage to me. So this is what it feels like to be invincible.”
He continued to deliver super-powered punches to Instincture, hoping to wear out the slime villain but to no avail. But time was of the essence, every minute passed, the hero was getting weaker. After about 30 minutes of constant pummelling in the power-draining room, the hero’s first sweat broke out. True Blue knew he was going to be in trouble.
“It’s my turn, hero”
A slime spear shot up from the ground grazing the hero’s tree-truck thighs. It cut through his suit and scratched his tights. A thin streak of blood surfaced.
No! It’s been too long, my invulnerability had been neutralized by the rubies. I need to end this now before it’s too late.
Realizing the weakened hero is at his mercy now, Instincture crackled hysterically. The muscled villain dissolved into the ground, spreading his slime body around the room. His green surface began to glow hints of pink from absorbing the ruby linings. Without a target in sight, the hero maintained his fighting stance, feet apart and arms ready.
A slime fist erupted from between the hero’s feet, rocketed upwards between his arms, and slammed once again into his chin. The blow hit the unsuspecting hero like a train as his mind went blank for a second and his guard went down.
The villain’s attacks began as he continued launching continuous blows by erupting slime fists and spears from around the defenseless hero.
“Oof!” groaned the blue hero in pain as a series of punches pummelled into his rock-hard abs. Spears continued to shoot up and tear the hero’s suit, each time grazing his taut body, leaving streaks of scratches.
Must endure until my team is here.
With his invulnerability suppressed by the rubies, True Blue was knocked up senselessly. Each blow and cut delivered extricating pain throughout his muscled body. After being tormented by a rain of punches, the hero slowly collapsed into the ground, exhausted, bruised, and scratched up.
“This is only the start, my blue muscle hero.”
Chapter 7
With no strength left to defend himself, the hunk was lifted into the air by four tentacle-like appendages, stretching his colossal arms and legs in a spread-eagle position. Barely conscious, True Blue struggled to lock a defiant gaze at the supervillain who rose from the ground before him.
“You took away the most important person in my life and now I will take something important from you too. I’ll let you in on a little secret. When discovering my powers, I realized that I could not only absorb properties of any materials, I could also absorb powers from super-powered humans like yourself.”
“You will never get away with this.” True Blue struggled weakly against his bonds. “I will never give you what you want!”
Instincture approached the hero, with their faces inches away. “When I am done with you, your hero days are over” he whispered as he slipped his green-pink slime hand below the belt of the hero leader. True Blue’s face flinched in shock and quickly turned dark in anger.
“Get your hands away from me, you pervert!” the egoistic hero growled as he thrashed about mid-air. “What are you doing to me?”
Instincture smiled slyly, “I found out the best way to drain a superhero of their powers is through their semen. The very essence of your life holds the many secrets of your powers. And I intend to make sure I get every last drop of yours.”
“Get away from me!” yelled the hero. The sudden realization of his dire situation renewed his energy as he struggled violently to escape Instincture’s bonds.
“You are making this hard,” Instincture snapped his fingers and the binding appendages snapped tight, pulling the hero’s limbs apart, immobilizing him further.
Countless tentacles emerged from the ground, groping the hero’s body, wrapping themselves around his muscular arms, majestic chest down to his tapered waist, and around his thick thighs as the hero struggled weakly in his tight bonds. His hero suit began to dissolve into the slime, revealing the well-defined taut body beneath. Rapidly, his muscular torso was in full view, with his massive chest exposed and free for the villain’s vile exploration. His hero tights rapidly dissolved to reveal a tight muscled bubble butt held together by a white jockstrap. Never would he have thought that today he would be in such a situation with a villain. Dressed in only his last shred of dignity, the jockstrap barely contained the impressive package, almost leaving nothing for imagination.
“I’m impressed, True Blue. I always know you are well-endowed from how the media always captured a good view of your bulge, but this is truly impressive.” Instincture reached out to the hero’s jockstrap.
“No! Stop this at once!” True Blue’s eyes widened as this was his first time being so exposed to another person, a supervillain to boot. The mighty leader is a straight man and never had any thoughts with another man.
Instincture cupped the hero’s groin as the remaining piece of clothing dissolved in the slime. The hero’s massive but flaccid phallus settled within Instincture’s grasp. Tormenting the hero, Instincture squeezed the large member gently, sensing a slight twitch. The weakened hero shot the villain an angry determined glance. “YOU FIEND!”
“Showtime.”
Chapter 8
The leader of Cindra Alliance laid suspended in mid-air, held up by a mass of faint pink slime. Stripped down to his skin, the muscular hero struggled against his bonds relentless as they held him spreadeagled.
Between his thick legs, his flaccid phallus bounced slightly each time he thrashed about to get free. Savoring the sight of the magnificently sculpted body in front of him, Instincture gently cupped the tennis-size balls and stroked the hero’s rod. Being a virgin, the slightest touch sent waves of sensations that the hero was unfamiliar with.
“GET AWAY FROM ME!” bellowed the furious superhero as he lurched forward with all his might. Without his super strength, he was just a regular muscle stud, helpless within the grasp of the supervillain Instincture. His only hope left was that his team members could make it in time. He had to endure.
Slowly but surely, with every masterful stroke from the villain’s hand, a pleasurable sensation stirred within True Blue’s groin. With zero inhibitors to sexual exploration, the hero’s thick 11″ rod rose to full mast within minutes and continued to grow even more. Conflicted with mixed feelings of hatred to the villain and intense pleasure building up in his groin, the hero tried to maintain a defiant glare but hints of fear shone in his eyes.
“Despite your protests, your body seems to enjoy this.” Instincture laughed.
True Blue bit down hard, throwing back again another heroic defiant look to the villain with his piercing blue eyes. “You can do what you want but you will never get what you want from me.”
“Then I’ll just have to take it myself.”
The villain raised his hand. Raising from the ground, a thin appendage with the thickness of a straw formed. The single appendage slid between True Blues legs, passed his erected member, twisted around the muscled torso, and emerged from the back over the hero’s right shoulder. The appendage split into two and proceeded to wrap around the massive pecs, jutting out the slabs of rock-hard muscle even more prominently with the erected copper-colored nipples vulnerably exposed. “Argh” grunted the hero as the tightness on his chest sent waves of erotic pleasure across his body.
I cannot give in to this. Just a while more before my team will be here. Endure!
Suddenly, the ends of the appendage formed into little cups and latched onto the hero’s large nipples. “Ahh…” jotted the surprised hunk, holding back his moans as the thousands of tiny feelers formed and teased his muscled tits. The waves of euphoria hit him like a tidal wave.
Shit… What is this feeling? No! I can’t give in. I’m True Blue, the heroic symbol for the world. Must… Must resist!
A third appendage spouted from between those delivering the nipple torture and headed down towards the hunk’s ever-hard member. Pulling back the thin foreskin, a large mushroom head peered out. Streams of pre-cum dripped down from the hero’s piss slit. Still occupied with the erotic torment from the nipple tease, True Blue let out a soft moan when the third appendage brushed itself gently against the sensitive spot just below the hunk’s piss slit.
Ahh shit! This is… this pleasure is too much.
The hero switched his attention to whatever the third appendage is doing to his member. His eyes widened as the straw-like appendage formed rims along its end and approached the entrance of his orifice. “No no no!! GET AWAY!” yelled the hero as the realization of what is coming up next hit him.
“ARGHHH” grunted the hunk in pain, as the sounding appendage penetrated his piss slit. Beads of sweat broke out across the handsome face as the violation continued down his urethra. “Hmm… Delicious! I can’t imagine when the main course is here.” Instincture licked his lips figuratively as his extension absorbed the hero’s salty pre-cum.
Chapter 9
“Stop this, James! You will never… ARGH!” The hunk’s eyes widened even more as electrifying pleasure shot through his mind, rendering it blank for a moment. Mind-boggling pleasure rocked the hero’s body. The villain’s sounding appendage had found the hunk’s g-spot and latched tightly onto the gland, sending pulsing vibrations along the urethra and hitting the prostate. Never had the virgin hunk felt such strong sensations before. “OHHH! Fuckk!” cursed the hunk. His first profanity slipped as he threw his head back in resistance.
Outside, the sounding appendage started to reform and engulfed our hunk’s massive phallus, forming into what seemed like a milking pump. The internal walls tightened around the penis and started stroking the massive member.
As True Blue struggled to adapt to these newfound sensations, Instincture raised his hand again to summon a thicker slime appendage. Slowly reforming it, the end of the tentacle spouted a mushroom head, with thick vein-like rims. The tip was slowly shaped to the size of a small ping-pong ball and extended downward to be as thick as a soda can. Barely able to keep up with the intense feelings within himself, True Blue stared as the monstrous tentacle dick formed.
“As I said, this is going to be… fun!” smiled Instincture, already feeling incredibly horny as he was about to deflower one of the mightiest heroes in the world. The dildo appendage moved ever so slowly to the muscled stud’s rear end as if to keep the suspense before the point of no return.
“Oh, no, no, no! James! This is enough. Let me go now!” yelled the struggling hero. The binds holding his colossal legs spread even further, revealing the hero’s most private area. A small pink pucker was slowly exposed between the muscular globes as the appendage lined just at the entrance of the virgin cherry. Cold air tickled across his pucker, sending erotic shivers across True Blue’s broad muscled back.
Shutting his eyes as tight as his clenched pucker, True Blue could only pray this was a nightmare. The mightiest hero in the world at the mercy of a perverted supervillain weakened and helpless to defend himself from the vile torture. The least he could do is to endure and continue to resist.
“Mhmm, resisting as always. That’s what makes this so much more fun.” laughed Instincture as he tried to worm the appendage past the hero’s tightened hole. “I wonder how long can you resist.”
After minutes of useless probing at the muscled rim, the slime villain was starting to lose his patience.
“I have endured your perverted ways. This is my last shred of dignity and I will not give this to you,” smirked True Blue weakly but heroically as he maintained his focus on clenching his rectum as tightly despite enduring the waves of pleasure from his nipple and sounding torture.
That pissed the supervillain even more. “Know your place! You are in my grasp now. You are in no position to defy me!”
Knowing that the dildo appendage won’t continue to do any good further, Instincture slyly reformed the tip of his appendage to as thin as a sewing needle. The hair-like tentacle easily slipped through the minuscular space between the clenched rim, breaching the hero’s entry and unknown to the hero himself. Worming its way deeper into the hero, the appendage searched for its target. Within seconds, the needle-like appendage struck the hero’s g-spot.
“Argh!” the surprised hero lurched forward by the internal assault on his most private area. “What have you…”
Instincture just smiled silently at the confused hero as he slowly expanded the lodged appendage within the hero. Feeling his hole widen from within, the confused hero yelled, “Wait… No.. No.. This is not fair! Shit! You fiend!”.
“What is not fair is that you mighty heroes stole my love from me. I’m merely executing the price you needed to pay.” laughed Instincture as he took away the hero’s last shred of dignity.
“Argh!!” moaned True Blue in pain as he refused to give in. The dildo appendage grew slowly within him, filling up his canals and stretching the tight pucker. Sweat poured profusely from the hero’s forehead once the appendage reached its original thickness of a soda can. Pain shot through his entire body as the hunk felt like he was being split into two by the massive appendage. Wincing in pain, the hero refused to let out the bellowing screams within him. Exhausted, True Blue continued to lay spreadeagled, resigned to his impending fate.
The lodged appendage started pulling back out.
Is this over?
True Blue heaved as he felt a small sense of relief in his canals. The appendage retracted until the tip was just right at the exit before plunging back in. Splitting pain shot through the hero’s body. With his virginity lost, the hero’s heroic inhibitors fall apart as he let out a roaring bellow. Ignoring his howls, the appendage began thrusting into the hero at an increasing pace. The pain slowly turned to pleasure as the hero’s prostate was subjected the constant pounding.
Chapter 10
Instincture savored the sight of his handiwork as the mighty hero leader rocked back and forth in his binds. His muscled rump rippled as the tentacle continued to fuck him senselessly, jotting electricity of ecstasy through the muscle-bound hero. Thousands of feelers rubbed his erected nipples to send waves of pleasure directly to his brain. The sounding tube sent a constant vibration to keep the hero’s throbbing member erected.
No, no, noo… This is… just too much. Can’t think anymore. Can’t… resist!
With ongoing nipple torture, dildo fucking, pulsing sounding rod, and the masterful stroking on the hero’s sheath, our hero’s mind was basically fried with an unprecedented tsunami of sensations. His already tenting member grew harder every second, his chest heaved heavily with immense pleasure. The pleasure continued to build up within his groin to uncontrollable levels.
Fuck! No! I can’t hold back anymore! FUCK!!
Truckloads of pleasure raced from his member to his brain as the floodgate was breached. The hero let out an earthshaking roar that resonate around the dimmed vault as he finally ejaculated.
Massive streams of cum erupted into the sounding rod and were consumed by Instincture before it even left the hero’s body. A steady stream of thick white cum formed and flowed through the pink appendage into Instincture’s body, continuously without an end in sight.
“Ohh, yes!” the villain moaned in bliss as he felt the mighty powers of True Blue spread through his slime body. The superhero’s dick continued to ejaculate, releasing up all the pent-up tension he had been holding back when resisting the evil torments of the villain. “Yes… This power is truly magnificent!”
Like a broken fire hydrant, his member continued to spew out an unimaginable volume of pure white semen into the villain’s body, powering up the villain, turning him all the more crimson than before. What was previously pink, the villain’s body now glowed in deep ruby red.
“More! I need more!!” screamed Instincture as overwhelming power took over his mind. “So satisfying!”
Instincture circled behind the muscle-bound hero whose face was contorted by a mix of pain and pleasure. Wrapping his red slime arms around the hero’s tapered waist, he merged with the rest of the appendages, forming a massive blob to engulf the hunk into his slime body. He merged his own impressive member with the dildo appendage in True Blue’s ass and started fucking the weakened hero himself.
As volumes of cum continued to pour out of the hero’s member, the pure bliss of orgasm sent the exhausted hero slipping into unconsciousness slowly.
No… I can’t hold out anymore.
With his last thoughts, his eyes rolled up. His mind turned blank.
The steamy sight of hot salty semen erupting from the hero’s piss slit sent the villain over the edge. “Ohh yes… yes!” Instincture moaned in bliss as he ejaculated his load deep into the hero’s canal, marking his triumph over the once-mighty hero leader. The villain was overwhelmed with ecstasy. He had finally conquered his hero nemesis and degraded him in more ways than he imagined. After all, revenge is best served with utter humiliation.
“Yess…..”
Instincture’s body glowed impossibly redder than before.
“Huh?”
*Crack*
“No! No! NO!!!”
Chapter 11
“We found him like this. Alone in the vault after we put out the fire and waited for the fumes to dissipate,” said Commissioner Bridgeman as he lowered his head in anguish.
Staring at the aftermath in the dark vault, the toned lean-fit superhero grimaced at the sight in front of him. The second-in-command swallowed back his regrets that they were late to his rescue. Before them laid a huge crystallized mass. Reflecting off the police officers’ flashlights, the smooth surface of the red giant crystal shimmered solemnly.
Held deeply within the gigantic crystal was the mighty leader of the Cindra Alliance, his handsome face twisted in a mix of pain and pleasure. His towering muscular figure laid spreadeagled, stripped of his heroic uniform and symbol, and frozen in the midst of an orgasm. Jets of his essence were still suspended within the crystal. A status of a god, preserved in the most humiliating manner.
“It seems as though he was frozen in time,” said Commissioner Bridgeman. “When we found him like this, we decided to keep this information within our squad.”
Speechless at the horrid fate of his leader and best friend, Velocity placed his hand on the surface of the red rock. A faint pulse of life could be felt radiating from the rock.
“Thank you for the privacy, Commissioner. I’m sure True Blue will appreciate it. We will take this back to our lab in the hero headquarters for analysis.”
Countless thoughts raced through the hero’s mind.
How did the almighty True Blue get into this state? What exactly happened in this dark vault? Most frighteningly, who is capable enough to do this to the world’s top hero?
“Whatever happened here, we will find out and get you out of this.” muttered the determined speedster.
– End of Book 1: Demise of True Blue –
