Crystal Doom (muscle theft)
by fucil99
Ever wish you had the power of Kryptonite or something like that that worked against your enemies? I know I do.
Well that's exactly what Benny, actually poor Chris, had discovered--a crystal that would take out his enemies in seconds or minutes or days, depending on how much they were exposed to.
It didn't kill them it did as Kryptonite did to Superman. It weakened guys. It had an effect on their bone structure and muscles. It shrank them down in size and could also convert muscle into fat. Its effects could be controlled, a fact that came too late to help Benny's buddy.
Benny Wecksters best friend Chris Dunaway discovered it quite by accident. Poor Chris was also its first victim. He and Benny had been spelunking in the Canterbury caves out side of Canterbury Kentucky when Chris first came across the crystals.
Chris and Ben had gone further into the cave than anyone had ever gone before. Chris loved the suspense involved in pushing the limits of fear and adventure. Chris was the athletic type that loved all the sports that involved high risks, so this wasn't even a challenge for him. He wanted to go even farther into the caves, while Benny, who was not adventurous as Chris was, tried to convince his friend that they had already gone too far and it would be hard even to find their way out from where they were now.
Chris would have no part of the idea of stopping now. He could see that the cave went on for another good thousand feet if not more and he decided he was going to at least go as far as he could. He and Benny separated from each other in the cave. Benny decided he would wait for him to come back to where they were right now and Chris went into the new cave and walked for at least a thousand more feet and that's when Chris came across the crystals. They hung down from the roof of a wide opening in the cave they hung down like crystal chandeliers and had built up crystal stalagmites on the floor of the cave as well the stalactites were a reddish blue color in hue but you could see right through them, crystal clear and faceted in an octagon shape, while their stalagmites were the same color but they looked like the crystal had melted and formed the more typical shape of a stalagmite, sort of a melted version of the crystal above them.
Chris saw them and he just had to have a piece of these crystals for his girlfriend. Chris was a nice looking guy with a better than average build. He sort of looked like a shorter, smaller version of that character on the Dukes of Hazzard, Bo Duke. He wasn't exactly super model material. He was probably too young, just barely 17, but he could have modeled for Sears or something like that. He was 6'1" and 185 lbs and he worked out and had developed a fairly respectable build. He looked pretty good without a shirt on his pecs were of noticeable size and defined. He had developed some decent sized biceps, 16 maybe 17 inches, pretty damn big for his size and he sported the beginnings of some fairly impressive abs, a sort of an almost there six pack. (We'll just say he had a tight stomach, and in time he would have looked pretty well defined.)
But fate can be fickle and take away that that you work on quicker than you can say "How?" or even "Why?" That would be poor Chris's fate. He would be the first to succumb to the crystal's powers but not the last!
Chris liked to go shirtless when he went spelunking and claimed that the near constant temperature of 65 degrees was tolerable to him, even though his nipples would tell everyone else he was cold. They were always standing at full attention and showed that the cold did indeed affect his body. Benny figured he did it more to show off his diligence in the gym then for any other real reason. Benny was the opposite of him. He wore a fairly thick waterproof jacket, wading boots and waterproof rubber coated gloves.
Chris's vanity would end up being his downfall. Chris saw the crystals and immediately went right to them and stood there and watched as water dripped from the crystal stalactites to the stalagmites. He was amazed to see them dripping like they were. He figured there had to be some kind of groundwater that was slowly breaking down these beautiful crystals and they were reforming on the floor of the cave, recrystallizing into these beautifully colored crystal clean octagon cylinders sticking out here and there out of the stalagmites. Chris took out his rock hammer and began to chip away at part of the stalagmite until he exposed the crystal that was regrowing in the melted mass of opaque sludge that had dripped from the crystal above. Chris then broke the top of the crystal free and took off his leather glove to feel for himself the shiny wet surface of the crystal.
The surface felt smooth to the touch but the water or whatever kind of liquid that was dripping from the upper crystal felt gritty like wet sand does and evaporated quickly or at least Chris thought it did because it dried fast from his fingers, and it felt cold like pure alcohol does when it evaporates quickly from your skin. Only it wasn't evaporating; it was absorbing into his skin as soon as it touched it. Chris placed the crystal into the small bag he had strapped to his belt he kept the bag right where his jeans button was when he was in a cave he could walk around upright in.
Chris was going to show this thing to his buddy Ben and then give it to his girlfriend of two years Tina. Chris wasn't exactly a rocket scientist actually he wasn't even one of the brightest of guys there were. He was rather below average on the intelligence scale.
He figured Benny who was actually very intelligent might know what this crystal was. What Chris didn't know was that the crystal melted when it came in contact to any heat above 65 degrees and he had placed it in the sack right above his crotch of his jeans and it was melting and soaking through the bag and soaking into his jeans and forming a very prominent wet area below it. Chris was used to being wet when he was spelunking so he gave it no real thought as he went back through where he came from and then saw Benny again.
Chris was excited and couldn't wait to show off his find to Benny. The whole time he was in the cave this crystal had been melting ever so slightly at a constant rate and the liquid was being absorbed slowly but surely into Chris's skin it had totally soaked his crotch by then so Chris's genitals had absorbed quite a bit of the substance and it was now coursing through his blood stream and changing Chris in an unperceived manner at first. The guys decided it would be easier to view the crystal that Chris had shown Benny in the dark cave again holding it in his bare hands Ben had handled it as well but his hand was covered by his rubber gloves. He handed it back to Chris who put it back in the pouch and they both headed back out of the cave.
Chris's body was changing rather fast by now. His bone structure was shrinking and his size-12 feet were getting smaller as he walked. They were about 9.5 now and growing smaller along with the rest of his body's bone structure and muscles. His firm pecs had begun to sag as the muscle was being converted to fat. His tight abs had become a small perceptible roll of fat by that time as well and his height of 6'1" had dropped by two and a half full inches, and his weight had dropped from 185 down to 164 lbs. His body fat had skyrocketed from 6% to 20% and Chris didn't even feel it happening to him, another property of the crystal's liquid doom. It wouldn't be until they both actually back outside of the cave before Ben would notice any real changes in Chris's appearance. Ben had left the cave first followed by Chris who was finding his jeans a little tight on his waist but too loose on his legs and his boots uncomfortably loose as well. He was also finding it harder then it should have been to climb the ascent up and out of the caves opening. He actually stopped and had to catch his breath as he went he was worn out and struggling to make the climb that Ben had just done seemingly without too much effort at all.
Chris was beginning to feel the changes. His jeans were eating into his waistline by then and he would have to at least loosen his belt and undo the button just to relieve the straining and constricting feel of the jeans waistband. But what he felt in the still subdued light from the caves opening scared the hell out of him. He felt the softness of his stomach and grabbed at it in the darkness and felt the flabby flesh that was once solid muscle. He was panicking by then. He had to get out of this cave! He had to find out just what the hell was going on! Panic drove him with its own adrenaline the remaining hundred feet up and out of the cave. From that point on he was winded and breathing heavily and in between labored breaths he was screaming for Ben to help him. Benny had reached the opening and was too far away to hear him at first but as Chris got closer to the opening he could hear the muffled panting and frightened screams of his best friend.
Ben turned around to see what was the matter and was shocked at what he saw coming out of the caves opening. It was Chris but he looked so different from the Chris who had gone in with him what came out was a shorter fatter out of shape version of the once well muscled good-looking guy. He was panting hard and clutching at his now flabby flesh of his stomach area his abs buried deep somewhere under a layer of pure fat his fine pecs looking more like sagging fatty tits of a fat guy. His once 17-inch biceps he was so proud of were fatty looking and soft no discernable definition to his arms was seen. His jeans looked too small for his now protruding stomach and too big and long for his legs that looked as if they had shrunken into the fabric somewhere. Chris was desperately trying to get his belt unbuckled. By then a look of pure fear ruled his still handsome but now rounder and pudgier looking face.
"Oh my God! What's happening to me?? BENNY HELP ME!! PLEASE!! MAKE THIS STOP!! OH GOD NOO!!!" Chris was screaming as Benny hurried over to him and grabbed the pouch where the crystal was and removed it as quick as he could from Chris's now undone belt and threw it as far from both of them as he could. Benny had no real idea of what had actually really happened to him but he knew that it must have been that crystal that had done this to his buddy. They had both been in the cave and he was unaffected there wasn't anything wrong with him and the only thing Chris had done differently was touch that crystal!
Chris had managed to get his jeans button and zipper undone and now his stomach that was now free to go where gravity called had flopped out over the open waistline of his jeans in a fatty roll that was huge in look. Ben stood there his mouth dropped open as he looked now down on his friend who was taller then he was when they first went into the cave.
Chris was now over way over a half a foot shorter then he was and his waist was 9 inches wider at 40 inches now. His body that was so well defined, so trim, was now fat and soft looking. His pecs were man tits and his arms were sagging flabs of fat where thick well-defined muscles once were. His biceps were gone and a soft roll of fat hung where they were. His neck had merged with his chin and he now had two distinct rolls of fat that looked like a double chin instead of his once square firm well chiseled jaw line and handsome strong defined neck. Tears rolled freely down pudgy fat little cheeks. Chris was a short weakly muscled fat man. Nothing like the guy he was when he first got there.
Benny didn't know what to think, or what to do or for that matter how to help poor Chris out. They were miles from any city and at least a mile from their truck, and all of that trek would be uphill from where they were now. "I... I-I ah... ah... I don't know what to do Chris!" Benny said he was so shocked by how Chris now looked that he too was breathing harder as well, more fear and shock induced heavy breathing than any for any other reason. "We got get to the truck! Do you think you can make it?? I... I mean... HELL CHRIS!! WE GOT TO MAKE IT!! YOU'VE GOT MAKE IT!" Benny said looking around for an easier path to the top of the steep incline of the rugged hillside.
His eye's fell upon the canvas belt bag Chris had stored the crystal in and he shook his head knowing that it was the answer to what happened and maybe Chris's only hope for a cure or at least an answer to what had happened to him. Benny told Chris to try to catch his breath and that they would get him some help as soon as they could, and then told him to try to relax and that he would be right back. Benny knew he had to somehow get that crystal back with them so he could hand it over to the Doctor's to examine and maybe help poor Chris out. But how could he touch it without facing Chris's fate?
Benny figured he was still all right even though he had indeed held the crystal himself in his gloved hand. He did notice it was coated with a liquid he assumed was water or moisture and that when Chris held it. The moisture disappeared like it was evaporating but his gloves were still wet with the liquid when he held it. So it was being absorbed into Chris's skin and not evaporating, and rubber was a good shield between it and his hands. Benny opened the bag up with his rubber gloves on and saw that the crystal was dripping wet and the bag was soaked through with the liquid that had come off of it.
Chris had brought an Igloo cooler with them full of water bottles and had left it at the opening of the cave. Benny ran back and got the cooler and then took off one of his elbow length rubber gloves and dumped the crystal inside the glove and placed the soaked canvas bag on the glove and rolled it up into the long glove on the ground never once touching the liquid or the bag with his now bare hand. He sighed a sigh of fear and relief and placed it in the cooler and carried the cooler with his gloved hand back to where Chris was sitting and almost asleep now. The crystal had drained him pretty good and he seemed almost lethargic when Benny got there.
Benny managed to get Chris up and aware again and through great effort and many rest stops for the now considerably out of shape Chris. They finally made it back to their truck. Benny drove as fast as he could while Chris slept the whole way back telling Benny of his lose stamina and athletic vigor while the dirty tear trails that covered his cheeks spoke of his loss of his fine body and confidence.
***
By the time Benny had gotten Chris to the hospital Chris's condition had eventually stabilized and the changes had stopped altogether. But what was left of Chris was nothing at all like he was before. Chris was now 4'10" tall and weighed in at 160 lbs.
Chris couldn't even remember his name or even his own name and he had no idea of where he was or who he was. Benny looked at Chris as he again fell asleep, Chris's body fat count had soared to 35% and he was essentially a short fat guy now. The crystal had melted away in the icebox and all that was left of it was a small bit of liquid remaining in the glove and the rest had soaked into the canvas bag. Benny didn't know what to do so he left poor Chris there asleep at the door step of the clinic with a note tucked into his now too-long but over-taxed jeans back pocket. It read simply, "Help me!"
***
Over the next two months Chris did get most of his memory back, all except the for the days leading up to the time he had changed so dramatically. Chris had never mentioned where he was going that day. He disappeared two months ago and Benny never told his family or anyone else for that matter about the crystal and the cave.
Experience that lead up to Chris's changes. He hadn't been seen and was never really questioned about what had now been accepted as the weirdest event that Canterbury Township had ever happened to one of its citizens.
Chris had spent nearly a full month in the hospital undergoing genetic tests and physicals and blood tests--the works--and nothing could explain what had happened to him or even why or how it had happened at all. For Chris, none of this was any comfort to him, because without a cause there could be no cure and he was now stuck in a very short fat body for the rest of his life.
Chris finally went back to school but not as the popular handsome stud he was before. This time he would be one of the less popular geeky guys at his school. Even his girlfriend Tina had broken up with him saying she still wanted to be his friend and all, and she was sorry for what had happened, but she just couldn't deal with his new emotional problems, and he did have plenty of those now.
Benny stayed his friend but never told him that he knew what really happened to him. He had plans for the crystals Chris had found and his plans weren't what Chris would have approved of. They involved Chris's old friends the friends that now made fun of the now less athletic former competition. Benny was proud of the fact that Chris had gone back to school and faced it in his new frame and had even made some improvements academically despite his loss of friends and reputation but to watch him being systematically destroyed by these other tyrants that would have been afraid of Chris before harass him and torment him till he cried--something he did very easily now--just pissed Benny off that much more.
***
It was payback time for the jocks of Canterbury High. Benny hated all of them except Chris, way before Chris was ever changed anyways, and his hatred was part of the reason he never told the doctors about the crystals in the first place. That and the fact that Chris who had always defended him in the past now relied on him to defend him now. Benny liked the turn of the tables and secretly got turned on by the sudden change in the former stud, to fat little dud.
Benny had determined just whom he had in mind for the first victim of the crystals. His name was Mark Dover, the schools newest hottie since Chris had fallen off its most eligible list. Mark had even started to date Tina after she broke up with Chris early in the first month of Chris's ordeal.
And why not? Mark was quite the catch as well. He had the ability to make anyone take notice of him even when he wasn't trying to. His height and build did that for him, and his face was an eye-catcher as well. He was handsome as they'd come maybe even better looking then Chris ever was to start with. His chiseled good looks were enhanced by his deep blue eyes and natural light blonde hair, hair he always kept short yet just long enough to give him that sexy type of look when he first got up in the morning. His body was by far a work in progress and he was diligent at keeping it that way. His height was one of the tallest the school had ever had as a student. At 6'6" he was one of the tallest basketball players the school had ever had. He was by no means the tall lanky type of guy though he outweighed Chris when he was his old size by nearly a hundred pounds, at 278 lbs, and all of it toned and well sculpted muscle. He was a force to be reckoned with.
He was also the perfect asshole as well. His good looks and positively dominating form gave him an advantage over the other guys that he was more then willing to exploit at any means, or any cost. He was your typical thick headed bully relying more on size over matter as his ultimate means to an end. His brains were the only really smaller thing he had, even his cock was as huge. It was the biggest anyone of the jocks that had to stand next to this hulking giant in the showers had ever seen.
Benny had seen it too and had actually had thoughts about how it must feel. It seemed almost unreal in size, at least 8 to 9 inches flaccid. But that was something he was going to change for the tallest and obviously best equipped guy in the school. That and a few of his other aspects as well.
Benny had gone back to the cave and had found the crystals for himself and had also managed to keep them from melting using dry ice and then freezing them in his folk's basement freezer all wrapped up in rubber and wrapped in freezer wrap marked "experiment for science class". His mom had never moved the container or even bothered to ask what it was. That was one of the best things about his parents. They trusted him implicitly and never questioned anything he did and up until the happening as he had come call the event that changed his best friend forever he never had.
But it was time for the ultimate angel in everyone's eyes to become the ultimate devil, so to speak. Benny was ready to test this crystal out to see if it could be controlled and he couldn't think of anyone better then Mark as his first real test subject. Benny had been extremely careful in the past when he had handled the crystals, but mistakes happen when you get overzealous or get into much of a hurry and that's exactly what Benny was in this time. He was in a hurry and he was soon going to find out just how bad that could actually be.
Benny had forgot to wear the protective rubber gloves when he got the package out of the fridge. At first it didn't occur to him that the package inside the frost-covered tupperware wasn't even that cold to the touch. No ice or frost had formed on it at all. It was all over the outside of the tupperware container but not the wrapped package inside and before he could catch himself from doing it he touched the rubber that covered the package as he took it out and set it on the table and went to take a leak before he went any farther with the unwrapping of the crystal. He didn't immediately feel the wet liquid on his hand at first not till he got his cock to take the leak and then he felt the wetness of his hand on his penis first. At first it felt cold only it wasn't cold enough to be frost; it wasn't really cold feeling at all. It was almost warm feeling as it absorbed into his skin and then the tingling feeling started.
Benny had seen what had happened to Chris and his heart had begun to pound a mile a minute by the time he realized he had been at least minutely exposed to this liquid of doom, as he called it in his journal.
Well, now he had exposed himself, his privates, to this liquid and he would soon find out what affects just a minute amount of the crystals liquids were possible of producing.
Benny could feel the changes beginning to his cock. It went into a full-blown erection that was slightly above average in size at almost 6 inches was shrinking. Ben had just gotten involved for the first time in his life with a girl and he hadn't even had sex yet. And now his cock had shrunk to 5 inches in full erection was shrinking in his hand as he held it he could feel it drop to 4 inches rapidly retreating in his fingers grip. Panic-stricken, he tried to hold it out as far as he could to maybe stop this lose from happening but it was out of his control now and it was shrinking faster then he could stop it from happening. When it finally seemed to stop, what was left of it he wasn't even able to hold it that easily between his thumb and forefinger now. Even erect he would be lucky to achieve two 2.5 inches at best. Ben had lost over half of what he had to sheer stupidity and carelessness.
Ben finally stopped pissing and he ran for the mirror to see what his now puny cock looked like. What he saw sickened him. It wasn't even child sized to him now, his 13 year old younger brother Kyle's was bigger then his was now. Ben had been affected for time by what he had concealed from the doctors when Chris was changed. For the first time since that day he wished he had shown the doctors or at least told them about the crystals. Ben quite literally broke down and cried for a good hour before he realized there was little he could do to change what had happened and now he at least knew that the crystals liquid doom could be controlled.
Benny paying a lot more attention to what he was doing prepared a glass vial full of enough of the liquid to reduce Mark entire body to a child size and sealed it with a tight rubber stopper. Starting tomorrow, Mark was going to go down in size a little bit at a time.
***
Benny woke up the next mourning with his usual hard on and he subconsciously reached down to service it as he always did it felt so small so thin as if it had even gotten smaller then it was when it stopped shrinking his eyes widened to full attention. His expressive eyebrows pointed up in the middle as he realized it must have shrunk even more. What he felt he could barely feel. It seemed so thin and short. He let go of it immediately with an audible "AHH!!" escaping his mouth. He quickly whipped off his blankets to see if what he feared was true. It was his cock was now barely an 1.5 inches and it was as hard as it could ever get small tiny veins replaced the ones that gave it character before these veins couldn't supply blood to a gerbil. They were so thin looking. His circumcised tip wasn't the large helmeted head he was used to. It was as small as his fingertip at best and his dick was maybe as wide as one of his fingers but no longer then his big toe was. Most of what he had left was hidden in his forest of pubic hair. Even his ballsac had diminished to the size of a small toddler's. It to could barely be felt at all to him. He might as well not have a dick at all anymore.
Benny began this next day the way he finished the last one crying over his lost manhood. He vowed he would not be alone in this ordeal. Others would also feel the way he was feeling now. Ben went to relieve his morning piss only to find the while flaccid as his dick had finally became he had but a tiny nub to hold on to and more piss hit his finger and thumb than what was directed down towards the john. He finished this piss as a girl would, sitting and then for the first time he could ever remember doing, he had to wipe his soaking pubic hairs dry with toilet paper. Unless he wanted to have to wipe dry his pubes every time he pissed from now on like a girl did he would have to shave his crotch so the buried nub that was now his dick wouldn't soak his still thickly coated forest of manly pubic hair. Benny ended up carefully cutting down enough of his only adult looking thing left in his crotch area away so as to expose what remained to the daylight that he now looked childish altogether. His days as a budding man were inevitably taken away form him forever now.
Benny donned his briefs and found the crotch empty and void of filler. He would never be able to shower with the gym class or anyone else again for that matter sex was never to be his if there was no cure for this. But he wasn't going to do this alone-- NO WAY!!! Mark was going to join him in his displeasure that much he was sure of.
