Unk gets a few cans of soda labeled "Hypergro," in a package from a rhino friend named Ronald. When he first met the big guy, he marveled at his physique, asked him about his workout routine, what supplements he took, what his starting weight was, and so on. They talked and ate, and over drinks, they finally got around to what their names meant - where they came from and so on. Unk explained about his, and the big rhino was so impressed! "Whoa, it's like spot on - you ARE a reptilian monster, I mean look at you!" to which Unk had to make a pose and flex, and Ronald did the same, his biceps practically flexing above his ears.

"So what's yours?" Unk asked, and he only remembers the laugh they both had, about some insect or larvae, he can't remember. "You sound like some sort of Transformer - Insecticon or Megatronus," he chuckled, pounding back his ale.

"Well, that may not be that far off, actually," Ronald confided. "I was still a runt, sweating buckets and getting nowhere trying to look close to guys like you-"

"No way!"

Ronald stomped, the bottles and glassware tipping and rolling across the table. "Really! Oh, by the allspark-!" he paused, then guffawed out loud. "Ha! You looked at me so serious for a second!"

"Did not!"

"Liar," the big rhino accused as he uprighted the bottles and shrugged at the Iksar waitress picking up the emptied glassware and wiping down the table. “I watch you guys - you work hard, play hard, eat hard, sleep hard, grow hard… but many of you optimize nutrition so nourish hard. I started doing something to learn about nutrition and how it metabolizes…

“Go on,” Unk started listening carefully, not bolting down ale so fast and actually leaning forward. Even the horns around his head started pulling back.

“Well uh, not really wanting to get permissions for blood tests and lab work, I sort of stole the next best bio data…” Ronald seemed to blush a bit.

“And what praytell was that?” Unk asked, turning his head and smirking as if he knew.

“Sweat. I collected sweaty towels, socks… pretty much anything I could associate with guys I knew were gaining and could associate with their workouts and nutrition, and could track what came out in their perspiration.”

“Oh, totally not what I was thinking. Still creepy, though.”

“Well, there turned out to be certain salts and enzymes present in guys making the biggest gains REGARDLESS of how hard or mildly they trained. It was all about what they ate, and what natural body metabolism, blood chemistry, gave them as a boost for growth. Add these hormones and nutrients to a normal person, give them enough building blocks for making muscle and tendon, perhaps some stronger bone to support them, and viola - beefier body! I’m living proof! Last year, I weighed 80 kilos. Um, ok… that’s 176 lbs.”

Unk looked shocked when he heard the first number, then still shocked hearing the second. “But you’re like DOUBLE that weight now!”

“No… more! 212. And I’m still gaining. I LOVE being huge… and I know I got more potential to get bigger… but this seems to be about my comfort zone for now. But I’m starting to make friends my size and bigger now - who knows when I’ll have my next growth spurt eh? Wow is the moon setting already? Hey buddy, I really should head off, never knew it would be so much fun talking with a huge lizard like you - but let me leave you with a little gift. Something that came from my studies of what a growing body needs most. Enjoy it OK?”

“Um, well sure! Thanks a lot. I’d really like to talk more about-“ but Ronald stampeded out of there, knocking tables aside as he rushed for the exit and soon was outside the Cabilis gates with naught but a dust trail to see him by. Unk started wondering whether he really did have a vehicle mode.

. . .
The package just had 3 drink cans, about the same size as Crimson Bovine, except they had a screw top, much like a petroleum canister you might empty into a crank case. The label on the cans read: “Hypergro.” Unk decided he’d dash back the contents of one and see what happened. It tasted like ginger root and liquified meat. Unk had sold such concoctions before - it even fizzed like his brewed beverage. He’d drank many of these before. A temporary strength enhancer, but never anything dramatic or permanent. He shook his head. Great expectations, naught to come of it...

And then he hunched over, and then bent back, racked in pain from tail to snout!

Unk started changing. His muscles expanded, getting bigger and bigger, growing more solid and rock-hard, becoming covered in a network of pulsating veins popping out all over his body. He feels his body bulging out more and more as pecs, abs, lats, quads, biceps - everything grows in explosive pops and bursts! His glutes increase in mass, each swelling rolling and rippling the back portion of his trunks, transforming it into a very tight, jockey like garment, but still strong enough to withstand the tension of growing reptile, even as his forward package pressures it with the sensations it also feels from this increase in power and potency.

He raises his head, growling ferociously with his slimy tongue protruding out out his wide and fearsome big mouth. Internally, metabolic rates amplify extensively by improved enzymatic, anabolic and hormonal activities, making his body temperature shoot up so high, he starts to drool increasingly. Unk's saliva dribbles cascades out, coating his neck and across his pecs, leaving multiple tracks that resemble intense sweating. His body CONTINUES growing, leaving him barely able to get used to his bigger and beefier body, Unk trembles as he 'fights' the effect of the little bottle of hypergro. His skin becomes extremely tensed as if it will break due to surging muscle mass. He tries to raise his enormous arms and flex them for satisfaction, but suddenly the growing process induces extreme pain with yet another surge of growth, like a cramp with strength bonus. Unk feels his body weight increase tremendously too, as his thighs tremble due to the same effect - muscle is HEAVY.

He slowly positions his arms in front of his bulging pecs, forming an arch-shaped bridge with both hands and flexes his biceps intensely, striking an 'extremely muscular crab' bodybuilder pose and roars wildly, his tongue licking around his lips and his mouth opened to maximum size, letting more saliva escape - Unk’s loving it! He likes his huge, hypermuscular torso. His roars signify the end of this growing process. His pain sensations subside, hormones in his blood stabilize, and his body retains this final, ultramuscular form in his very tight red underwear. He soon realizes there is one more hypergro bottle left. Unk grins - only Cazic-Thule knows what's gonna happen next!
