Chapter 6: Isolation

It sat there. It knew, thanks to the mirror, that it was starting to fuse completely with the skin of its Victim. It felt how the strings It used started to spread through the building, looking like a black mold. It needed a new skin. It needed to make sure that there was a way to properly hide.

Keta grew desperate because, after only one day, it was beginning to look completely black once again. It needed to consume, but it couldn't leave its room through the door. 

At a moment's notice, It consumed its skin. 

Then it started to form itself anew. It made a layer that encloses and contains the goat, as well as its brain, and surrounded it with tentacles and eye stalks. 

Then, KETA grabbed onto the Ventilation entrance and squeezed itself through,  almost looking like it was flowing, while the surrounding metals all started to be absorbed. It was a raging ball of entropy, silently dashing, always looking for sources of sound. 

The first three times, it almost dashed right into a drill, laser, or another tool, only to hide once again in the air shaft.

Until finally, it found a room that had a big Armor inside. It is robust, enclosed its full body, and it is tall enough that its currently reduced mass would perfectly fit inside. 

In the future, it would need ways to compress its own mass even more, and it needed to feed nope more brains because it seemed to control something deep inside of It.

It needed a few more brains, and it needed them fast, or it would turn into a big pile and then be forced to fuse with water.

It Slipped away from the Armor. It needed that brain now, and find a suitable body after that. 

And so, it once again climbed through the Vents. The metal strengthened its body, the silent slithering slowly starting to be accompanied by the screeching of metal on metal before it spread through Keta's entire Body and made it become silent once again.

And finally, it felt the closeness of breathing. Someone stands beneath the Vent opening. This is an all-or-nothing situation.  The hope for the second brain. 

He ripped open the lid and fell upon the body of Mario, the Italian Plumber of the situation, eating a peach in a way that the brain told Keta was inappropriate.

And then, it was over. KETA extracted Mario's brain, and in the span of a second, it was Inside. Starting to merge with the body and then merging both of the brains together.

This was something instinctual. The fabric of their bodies, of the very reality, that they both existed merged, and it fit completely inside.

It still realized that the fusion was starting to make Mario's already tan skin darker, and would in approximately two days put it in need of a new body, but now it could finally digest, and change most of this body inside into goat.
