An Inktober art featuring Timothy transforming into his super persona Hypercore in front of his friends, after being stung by a powerful lightning. What's below this is a story that leads to Biceptember Rampage, Biceptember Growth, and then Inktober 2020 - Outpost.

A certain district was under a stormy barrage, forcing many residents to take refuge in many public buildings, including a large shopping mall. A group of friends had finished eating fast food and were about to leave the mall, only to find a storm aggressively sweeping through the streets, breaking windows and felling trees and signs.

The said group consisted of an orange cat named Nathan, a gray wolf named EJ, a dingo named Diego, a skunk named Aaron, and lastly a brown fox named Timothy. The fox himself was both wearing a wireless earphone and carrying the old outdoor TV antenna for Diego who opted to replace with a new one.

While several areas in the mall were crowded, there was one that was empty except benches and an open hardware store. As the group were walking into the hardware store, they became unknowingly exposed to the big, circular glass ceiling shining onto the center. Lightnings struck directly onto the mall, and they were so strong that they severely cracked through rooftops and shattered glass ceilings, causing many people to flee from debris. Unfortunately, another lightning struck through a now-shattered glass ceiling into an TV antenna still held by Timothy.

As the fox was shaking from electrocution, an electric sting went up to his right ear, causing his earphone to malfunction and triggering muscle growth inside him. As Timothy grew bigger and taller than his already muscular body, his hidden persona began to resurface and overwhelm his personality. His agonized scream shifted into a loud maniacal laugh, as he stopped shaking and started posing, and his pain subsided with pleasure. That fox had changed into his super persona, Hypercore.

Despite that everyone believed Timothy to be unrelated to Hypercore, the fox still had to keep his persona under control to prevent exposure. Thanks to being struck by a lightning, Hypercore's personality was merged into Timothy's and his desire to make everyone muscular had overwhelmed his restrains. What went worse was that Timothy's free will had become completely corrupted by the empowered Hypercore, causing a fox to embrace his extremes.

While his four friends were witnessing their friend transforming with paralyzed shock, Hypercore gave them a wide grin and an indirect sting from his now-functioning earphone. One by one, they earned a body of a bodybuilder in a size similar to Timothy's but their personality were also affected, making them aggressive warriors loyal to Hypercore. As four newly transformed warriors began flexing to each other, Hypercore spread his arms and laughed evilly, and ranked them as his first four lieutenants.

By the time several shoppers and a small of paramedics came to the same scene, possibly looking for more injured people to save, they instead found EJ, Aaron and Timothy in the middle, all muscular and ready to restrain the weak. In middle of confusion and uncertainty with a strange commotion, Nathan and Diego destroyed the upper floors, completely blocking all available exits. Timothy, as Hypercore, again reached for his earphone to trigger muscle growth in a group of people, while declaring that they would enjoy serving him from now on.
