The halls smelled of musk and blood, screaming and creaking echoed through the cells. Jeffery was stopped as the prison guard unlocked a cell and shoved Jeffrey in without a care in the world. His cellmate, a foul smelling raccoon said "welcome to the big house." Jeffery had been falsely accused of raping a woman, no one believed his innocence and he was sent here. He was to rot away for 5 years and his post prison future had little hope of being any better with his name on a sex offender registry.  He was an emotional wreck, trying hard to hold back his tears, knowing showing any weakness would paint a target on his back for horny aggressive inmates. "Well thank you, seems like you've been here a while, who's the biggest toughest guy in this joint?" Jeffery asked his cellmate as he laid down in his bed.

"That would be Malphas, a big muscular pig with dark purple skin and round teeth coming out of his mouth, you can't miss him." Rocky the raccoon replied raising his brow questioning the jailbirds motive. "Thanks, either I join his gang or he kills me I kinda hope for the latter" Jeffery replied looking up at his cells ceiling lost in thought. "Dude I don't know what's going through your head but at least wait a few years before you think of ending it, things could always get better you might just be in a phase" Rocky pleaded. "I probably have a better life in prison then out of it, I'm a convicted rapist and I didn't even do it, what are you in for? I figured I would be in a den of killers." Jeffery said turning to face Rocky. "Theft, the bastards at the courthouse threw the book at me as hard as they could, I was homeless, I needed things" Rocky said trying to justify his vague crimes. "Well if I keep living looks like we need to keep an eye out for each other, my name is Jeffery, I'm sure every smartass in here will call me jailbird though, what's your name?" Jeffery said as he got up and offered his hand. "Rocky raccoon, it's been lonely in this cell." Rock said as he shook Jeffery's hand.

Time passed as Jeffery and Rocky chatted, Rocky trying to give Jeffery as much info as possible on how the prison works. Eventually it was dinner time and most of the inmates went to the cafeteria. Jeffery got his food together and saw Malphas, he sat with a group of muscular tattoo covered guys and a token twink, a black porcupine with some very small clearly shaved spikes. Jeffery got near him and asked, "you got any "friends" outside this prison? I don't think I can go back to living in regular society at the end of all this" using air quotes with his fingers as he said friends. "The fuck makes you think I'd work with a pipsqueak bitch like you? The only reason I work with Morpho the porcupine is out of all the pathetic faggots here his ass feels the best to blast a load in. I don't trust a weakling like you, get the fuck out!" Malphas said as he punched Jeffery, giving him a black eye and making him spill some food. "Uhg fucker, if I was so weak I wouldn't have the balls to talk to you." Jeffery replied recovering from the punch. "Well I can't argue with that, here's the deal I'll make sure every inmate here knows your a child molester and if you live through the next prison break I'll let you join us, now fuck off!" Malphas said in a serious tone as Jeffrey headed over to eat with Rocky.

"Only a single black eye must have gone better than I thought it would" Rocky said as Jeffrey sat down. "All he did was punch me and said he would tell everyone I was a child molester, a complete lie even my false accuser is in her 20's, he said I'll be part of his gang if I survive a prison break" Jeffery replied. "Oh, those particular criminals don't make it out of here alive very often, I guess it's back to rotting in my cell, alone" Rocky sighed, looking down into his food depressed. "Really? Do they get murdered in there cell? And speaking of escaping why don't you try getting out during the prison break?" Jeffery asked trying to eat but losing his appetite. "Yes even in prison some guys will find you to be to much of a scum and try to kill you. if I escape I have no family or life to go back to and I'll just get arrested again for escaping, I just need to accept my prison sentence for now." Rocky said as he slowly ate. "Look I'm sorry I knew you were lonely but I didn't know you were that lonely, well until a prison break happens I'll be your friend" Jeffery said as he smiled and started eating again trying to cheer up Rocky. Rocky moved up to Jeffery and whispered in his ear. "I can't talk loudly cause no one wants to be a snitch especially you, but tomorrow a prison break is planned I didn't tell you cause like me I thought you wouldn't want to escape." "It's ok I did say I wouldn't like my life outside of prison" Jeffery replied, somewhat stunned at how fast the situation was escalating.

That night the pair chatted, trying to make the most of it, the atmosphere was bleak though as Jeffery was likely to die tomorrow night. When it was time to sleep Rocky passed out but Jeffery twisted and turned in his bed, his mind racing. He thought what was the point of even sleeping. He started stroking himself trying to wear himself out. Part of him thought why waste life sleeping, another part of him thinking maybe I should sleep so I can fight better during the prison break attempt. He could hear Rocky snoring faintly as he pleasured himself and suddenly the sound stopped. Not just the snoring, everything, the lack of any background noise was eerie. "Am I dead?" Jeffery said, not necessarily expecting an answer, feeling like the entire world changed. I phased into existence in his cell with a scorpion like pet in my hand "Your alive and well, I just wanted to give us some privacy." Jeffery jumped and turned to face me, asking "who are and are you why has everything stopped?" I walked up to him and put my pet near his eyes so they could stare at each other. "I did freeze time, I'm like everyone's gaurdian angel I come to protect and give second chances, but only to those so screwed in life, divine intervention is their only chance to return to normal." I told Jeffery as I drew my gun and shot at the wall behind him. 

The bullet was a silver mass of matter that splattered against the wall of the cell. It quickly morphed into chains with a mind if their own. Binding Jeffery and pulling him helplessly up to the wall before he could say "what the fuck?" I threw my little pet at him as it crawled into his mouth and slid down Jeffery's throat. My pet strong and skilled enough Jeffery's attempt to bite it and push it out with his tongue was in vain. "No one likes taking my seed so I just needed you chained in place for a bit" I told him as my pet finished crawling down his throat and entered the stomach, afterwards his chains disintegrated into dust. "Ahhh what was that? What did you do to me?" A panicked, terrified and out of breath Jeffery asked. "I gave you a gift, I call it the cannibal virus" I replied with a smirk on my face, not that he could see it with my mask on. "Cannibal? Oh shit, what is it going to do to me?" Jeffery asked breathing heavily, and visibly shaken. "Oh stop worrying, getting that virus I gave you is the best thing to ever happen to you. That's not hyperbole either I know all about you, I know all about everyone. I know you're a little bitch just trying to be a tough guy so you can survive." I said before he cut me off. "Hey, that's just an opinion" Jeffery said proving my point.

"You crossdress and have all sorts of toys most of the inmates here wouldn't be caught dead with, like your pink di" I said before Jeffery nervously interrupted me again. "Uhhh can we go back to why you call that thing in me a cannibal virus?" I chuckled "hehe you're such a bitch you don't even want to admit the truth, but if you stop interrupting me I'll explain everything. All non plant life shares the same common components deep down in there cells. That creature in you can turn other's cells into yours allowing you to live off others life. But more importantly it can fuse them together making them and you stronger. If you wanted to have the strength of a 100 men, you could if you consumed a 100 men. Well in that case there would be diminishing returns but you get the gist of what I'm saying." "So I can take on the guys here but I need to eat them? Not even like soft vore, like I have to kill and digest the body?" Jeffery replies, I can see in his mind he doesn't want to accept what I'm saying "Yes I can only help you have a fighting chance, even now the virus is reshaping your body slightly to make stronger and more reselient, you still need to help yourself though by fighting and earning your freedom." I tell him so he knows exactly what he needs to do. 

"Look this is fucked up can't you please help me another way?" He pleaded with me. "No you either fight back or die a coward." I said as I vanished into thin air and returned time to normal with Rocky still snoring away. Jeffery noticed everything was back to normal and accepted tomorrow would change his life forever no matter what happens. He felt butterflies in his stomach and finally went to sleep. The next day began, Jeffery whispered to Rocky, "if I had to kill some people today would you be willing to help me do it?" Rocky's eyes widened and he whispered back, "look that's a loaded question some of the guys here would try to kill us and I think self defense is good but some guys here don't deserve that, like you told me you didn't do anything wrong your just a casualty of the justice system yourself." "I just don't know what to do something happened last night and I don't even think I should talk about it" Jeffery sighed. "Just take your time and relax the day is just starting" Rocky said as the work alarm went off. 

It was time for the inmates to preform penal labor, slavery disguised as rehabilitation. Jeffery's job was sewing, probably cause he looked like a gay boy and the prison warden is nothing if not stereotypical. He was walked through his job, and what all he needed to do and look out for, Jeffery worked for hours just trying not to worry about what would go down later tonight. The hours passed as he ate while working, keeping him relatively safe in his work room with a handful of other unintimidating inmates. Eventually it was time and Jeffery was locked back in his cell with Rocky. "If all goes according to some of the other guys plans, every cell will open soon. There is an emergency open all cells button meant to be used during a fire, hopefully you'll be unscathed and everyone will worry about escaping but this place is a madhouse." Rocky whispered into Jeffery's ear. "Well based on the fact you seemed to think I'd die, i had a feeling our cell would open wether we wanted it to or not" Jeffrey said out loud not even caring to be secretive with whispers. "I just wanted to warn you, I can see how you would have a lot on your mind, but, even still I can see your not telling me everything." Rocky said also deciding to give up on whispers. "Last night a guy appeared with a black and white mask with armor that looked like it was made with dragon scales. He gave me a power with grizzly implications, or it was just a dream, look if I talk about it I sound crazy." Jeffery said interrupting himself before he started talking about eating people. "Heh well you're right you do sound crazy" Rocky laughed trying to add brevity to the situation, Jeffery gave a small laugh to make rocky feel better.

Their cell opened as did all the other cells, Jeffery and Rocky just sat around waiting for the escape attempt to end. They were unable to talk with the blaring alarm echoing through the prison halls. The escape was slowly calming down most inmates had tried to leave or gotten into combat with the guards. But as Rocky and especially Jeffery had feared someone entered there cell, an inmate brandishing a lead pipe. He was another bird, a blue one he swung fast and hard hitting the side of Jeffery's skull as it made a cracking sound. Jeffery fell to the floor without making a sound. "Another scumbag executed" the bluebird said. Jeffery was indeed dead from the blow but his virus tried to rearrange his body to recover before it was too late. It succeeded and Jeffery's eye's opened, he quickly realized he either fights back as hard as he can or dies in a cage. Jeffery got up fast and slammed the bluebirds head into a wall causing him to drop the pipe on shock and pain. Jeffery grabbed the fallen pipe and struck the other bird in the skull just as he had been, killing the bluebird on the spot.

"I thought you died there for a second, fuck, I'm glad you're okay" Rocky said as he was recovering from the shock of everything that happened in front of him. "I think I did for a little bit, I, I have to check if what I was told is true. You might not want to watch this" Jeffery said as he kneeled down and grabbed his deceased attackers arm. Then he took a bite, using his sharp beak to cut out a big chunk of feather covered flesh. Jeffery didn't even think about that fact he just ate it feathers and all. His teeth and beak felt super strong and he couldn't taste anything. In Jeffery's mind it clicked, not only was I telling the truth he could gain power from eating others his body was able to change to make eating his victim as easy and painless as possible. He took larger and larger bites, trying to consume the body fast, his stomach never seemed to run out of room he could just eat and eat and eat. "How starving where you? Can you even stop yourself?" Jeffery heard before looking up to a scared trembling Rocky. "I told you, you might want to look away, I feel like i could eat all of him if I wanted" Jeffery said with his beak covered in blood and bits and pieces of gore. "It's hard to avoid someone eating a corpse in your bedroom. I just don't know how to feel about you anymore, this shit isn't normal" Rocky replied. "I just gotta do what I can to survive, speaking of which I should go look for malphas" Jeffery remembered. "If you want to join some gang be my guest, can you just take the body out of the cell when you leave? I don't want to be held responsible, I've got enough jail time to go through" Rocky said in a depressed tone as he laid in bed to try and sleep. "No problem" Jeffery said as he exited the still open cell carrying the body of his attacker out with him.

The halls outside Jeffery's cell where mostly empty to his advantage, the other sections of the prison needed the guards more as he was in the least dangerous criminals section of the prison. Jeffery used this moment to think of a plan and he thought of an upper room in cell block c. He had never seen this part of the prison nor had he heard of the name's of areas in the prison but It was all he could think about. Taking it as a sign and seeing he was in cell block a, he decided to search for this mysterious room. Upon finding and entering cell block b, Jeffery saw a group of guards beating inmates to the ground with batons. "I think their down and you could have pulled out the handcuffs a while ago" Jeffery shouted at the guards wanting to see how they react. "We know how how to do our jobs a lot better than you do!" A guard shouted as him and another guard rushed to attack Jeffery. Jeffery dodged ones attack and quickly bit a chunk of his kneck out before doing the same thing to the other. Both of the guards quickly died of blood loss and Jeffery took the time to eat part of them, the other guards threw their batons to the floor surrendering. The inmates who where beaten gave the guards a taste of their own medicine beating them and locking them into the prison cells. With the quick snack over Jeffery entered cell block c.

Jeffery peaked in to see the block was filled with guards and prisoners, more than anywhere else so far. Although the virus made Jeffery very lethal in close range combat he could very easily lose just from the number of guards to fight at once. Jeffery thought about how he could tip the scales in his favor, a weapon, even a weak one would likely suffice. He looked around for anything that could work but everywhere he saw was just more and more prison bars. Jeffery grabbed a cell bar thinking outside the box wondering if the strength he accumulated would allow him to break a bar. He put his entire body into it and snapped a metal bar off a cell door. The broken end was sharp and would work as a spear just fine. Jeffery ran into cell block c with his weapon drawn using the element of surprise to help him mow though several guards. Impaling them one after another with the other inmates fighting as well. Jeffery got them to cower and surrender just like in the last cell block. Finally with the area cleared for the time being, Jeffery entered the room he saw in his head that had been calling to him. 

On the other side of the door was Morpho, the porcupine prison bitch that belonged to Malphas. "Hot damn your alive?" Morpho said to Jeffery. "Yep and I think I'm ready to join malphas little gang if he thinks he could even control me anymore" Jeffery replied. "Well he just wanted you dead for wasting his time so nice seeing you" Morpho said drawing a pistol and emptying the clip into Jeffery's chest. Jeffery could feel the pain and wobbled but was able to regain composure and jumped Morpho. He was in a panic to regain energy and started eating Morpho alive starting with his chest, "oh, God no!" Morpho screamed before Jeffery ended his life by biting into his heart. Jeffery just ate Morpho till he was bones partially because he was pissed about being set up and partially to recover from the bullets. The bullets slid out of his body as he as he finished eating Morpho, Jeffery thought of what to do next and he could vividly see an underground path and how to get there from here. Another thing he couldn't possibly know about. He figured out he was gaining memories and knowledge of those he eats. "That must be where malphas is how do I fight him best though?" Jeffery asked himself wondering if his spear was still the correct approach. I could see him, I can see everyone, to save me a teleportation trip I whispered directly into his head "just imagine your body changing and so it will be"

He was shocked, he quickly wondered if he was slowly slipping into insanity, voice's literally talking to him in his head. He looked into his palm hoping it could just be me telling him more about his new powers. He thought about making his hand blue like the bird he killed and ate in his cell. The color of his feathers changed, he freaked out a bit and stopped thinking as his feathers returned to their natural red color. "Well that's one more thing I can do, I wonder if?" Jeffery said to himself as he thought of a plan to disguise himself as Morpho. His body quickly and easily changed to a nearly identical copy of the porcupine he just ate. With Jeffery having stolen Morpho's face and memories he continued the plan as Morpho was instructed too. Eventually he went to the underground hall to find Malphas in waiting. "About damn time you got here, but you made it and did all the distractions so I guess that counts for something" Malphas said seemingly unimpressed. "Sometimes shit happens and things don't go exactly as you would like it too, I also made sure that annoying little Birdy is dead in his cell" the fake Morpho replied. 

"Oh you did what I told you to do, do you want a fucking cookie?" Malphas said angrily. "No just a handshake" Morpho said as he extended his open hand. "You have some stupid priorities" Malphas replied as he shook Morpho's hand. Jeffery used his other hand to quickly grab Malphas shoulder and pulled the hand malphas was shaking with so hard and fast. With Jeffery's now superfurry strength from the virus Jeffery was able to rip the skin and bones severing the Malphas arm from his chest. "What the fuck!?" Malphas screamed as he fell to the floor. "Surprising your foe is a good priority I'd say" Jeffery said as he kneeled down and revealed who he really was to Malphas. "Bullshit! How is that possible?" Malphas yelled. Jeffery didn't care to answer and ripped off one of Malphas tusks and used it to penetrate the boars eyehole so deep it pierced his brain killing him. With revenge served Jeffery sat down to rest and consume the tasty pig he just took down. He thought about what to do next, no doubt he could never return to his old life, he was supposed to be in prison plus cameras, guards and inmates saw the destruction he caused. If he continued to live as his old bird self he would surely be put to death. He could escape and create a new identity but be totally alone, he could try to create a new identity and stay in the prison. Maybe Rocky would be his friend again at least. 

I whispered in his ear one last time, "take Rocky with you, cut off your hand and spread the virus." Jeffery already knew Malphas had a hidden knife as he gained his knowledge from eating him. Jeffery used the knife to cut his own hand off, not even hesitating as I had not steered him wrong yet. He screamed and cried as the cutting was still very painful but eventually the hand was off and a new one slowly grew to replace his original. The severed hand though twisted and contorted shedding it's feathers and become a scorpion just like the one I forced him to swallow the night before. Jeffery returned to his original holding cell it was relocked and he had to eliminate a few guards along the way. Jeffery took some keys off a guard and unlocked Rocky's cell, Rocky had fallen asleep, Jeffery took the opportunity to shove the scorpion into Rocky's mouth before he could fight back. It woke Rocky right the hell up but at that point he couldn't resist and the virus had infected him too. 

"Uhhhg what's going on what did you do to me?" Rocky asked still out of it from the rude Awakening. "I'm just sharing the power I got to help you out." Jeffery replied. "I never said I wanted this" Rocky said. "Is rotting alone in prison what you want? I can't stay here any longer, I thought maybe we could get out and decide what to do with ourselves together, neither of us have a life to go back too. But if you want to stay here then, well, goodbye I hope when your sentence is over you'll have a happy life." Jeffery said in a depressed tone as he walked out of the cell. Rocky thought about it for a second and followed Jeffery knowing it was his only chance to take the offer. Jeffery smiled as Rocky appeared to his left, Jeffery taught Rocky all he knew about the virus, making sure Rocky ate someone so he had enough power to change his appearance once the pair successfully escaped. Eventually they walked out of the prison using the most obvious method the front door disguised as guards.

Since that day they lived together taking on new identies as time went on. They lived exceptionally long, as long as they ate meat they could use those consumed cells to esentialy become immortal. Living that long can take it's toll on people's perspective of the world however. The pair always saw news of citizens never fighting back against things they deemed unjust, and it made them think what if more people were like the prison inmates, and teamed up to fight against their oppressors like when the prison break happened. Not everyone was good but at least most of the prisoners had some guts. To spice up their life the pair planned to use there powers to try and become cartoonishly evil leaders to see if people would ever fight back or if furmanity was totally fucked at this point. With only criminals having the balls to fight back against authoritarians. 

40 years later this audiotape was recorded. "We failed, the whole idea was a failure. My partner has eaten too many psychopaths I think they overtook him and now he's just a legion of killers with his own soul trapped deep inside his mind. I'll probably be a different person soon enough too. My final plan is to kidnap and eat the better people of our world to counteract the murderers we've eaten. I just hope that will make us good again and we can cancel every terrible thing we've done. If not we'll just spiral deeper and deeper into madness and cruelty. We just wanted to make the populace strong and demand freedom and liberation, but that looks like a plan that will never work. We escaped prison in the past and found it inspiring that people would fight back, but when I think about it most of the inmates had no problem being beaten and forced to do slave labor. Everyone's just a coward I guess from your neighbor to criminals. If your hearing this my plan probably failed, and I beg of you please kill me and my bird friend. I'm so sorry for everything I just hope people fight back and the two of us lose to meet again in the afterlife."
