He covered the corpses as ooze. Kenny went over and asked what he was doing. "I'm assimilating the body mass. One I do that, I can replicate and there will me two of me." a mouth said. It took over an hour before he was finished. Kenny was bored and just rested against the rock. "I am done assimilating the corpses." he said. Kenny could see that there was much more of the orange ooze than before. "I don't think I can replicate myself at the moment. It took so much energy to break everything down. I was not expecting this. I also have the eggs to consider. Kenny just crossed his arms. "How are we getting to Wondo!? We have a week, but we cannot make it just walking on foot." Orion said "I can carry you. Watch." the ooze then traveled toward one of the horses. It was a black mare. It tried to get away, but Orion surged and caught its legs. From there, it covered its body faster as it whinnied in pity. The other horse saw what was happening and bolted away from that mess. The Orion-horse symbiosis chuckled as it formed an orange centaur. The tail and hooves were the only black parts.
Kenny had seen a lot over the last few weeks. This was much too much to draw anything other resignation. Kenny climbed on the saddle and sighed. "Since this lifeform is so beneath a human, I can assimilate it instantly. Will that help?" He asked as they continued in the direction they were flying. It had been ten minutes and Kenny had still not come to terms with the present situation. He sighed tiredly before putting a half smile on his face. "What does that mean. I'm not the one who is aware of all your powers. Why do you think it might help?" Orion smirked and said "If I assimilate this horse, I can take this form at will. Will that be helpful? I think it might." Kenny said "If you could turn into a horse at will, it would help getting places faster." Orion stopped and he winced as he reared up. Kenny held the reins in time and glared at him when he returned to all fours. Orion looked sorry and said "I underestimated the willpower of the horse. I almost lost control. It was just a horse, so it was just a single death throe." That imagery was not comforting to Kenny. He did his best to ignore it.
The horse body got really thick. If it looked like a work horse when it was covered, it now was like a warhorse. "I have so much mass, that it I needed to distribute it out in a way that I could move on. I will definitely need to replicate tomorrow." he said. Kenny shrugged and they continued. Orion walked through the mountains and they soon found a small passing. Following it, they got clear of the range. They were now in the country of Wowada and Kenny sighed in relief. They needed to find a place to rest for the night. There was what looked like a small village at the base of the mountain. Orion went down the village and was about to enter when Kenny stopped him. "You still have a horse ass! Change back to human for after I get off." he told Orion as he dismounted. Orion turned into a morbidly obese version of himself. He fell over and grunted. "I can not go on like this. I need to replicate." he said. Orion turned into the flood of ooze and formed a large ball of swirling fluid. Kenny watched as it condense in on itself as it went faster and faster. He was actually amazed as it took place.
When it got as dense as it could, the ball stopped swirling. A split formed down the middle and the ball fell into three slices. All the slices became fluid and then took on a human form. It was Orion, although three inches taller, longer hair, full of lean muscles and with wider hips and a larger ass. "I had to condense all of the ooze, so I am much heavier than I appear." It was true. He looked looked like he could be a starter in the NFL. He was now 6'2 and he looked very athletic. The three clones admired each other. Kenny asked "Which one has the eggs? There were two of them." Two of the clones smiled. The third pouted and looked like he was being left out. "Let me fertilize another of your eggs, Kenny." it said. Kenny said "You three are all banned from having sex or assimilating. We don't have time to handle any more clones." They all looked disappointed and followed with a sad look on their faces. Kenny was not at all moved. They made their way to the village and they were met by some men. He saw they were all Fojun and allowed them to stay in some of the villager's houses.
