Hope you guys enjoy this thrilling conclusion to the three part story. Marty, Zen, Geamex, Leo Joey, Nathan and Lance are all owned by GMXmuscle

To recap the story so far. In a nice autumn morning, Marty and Zen woke up and Marty when to work at Leo Industries and Zen prepare for a date at the new giant botanical garden nicknamed Project Nature. While Zen gone to GMXMarket to see his cousin Lance and buy Marty a lovely bouquet, Leo gave Marty the rest of the day off to prepare for the date. Marty gets help from Geamex to buy a nice statue for Zen. Later on Marty arrived at Zen's house and the two gave each other their gifts for each other and then they went to the garden. They met a eccentric Gryphon called Cory who has a knack for nature just like Zen does. They two enjoy the date, they met Geamex at the swimming pool there. They found the Hawthorn flower for Geamex, but then, Cory vanished and dropped a piece of paper with the words "I must find that fruit. I want to become the strongest gryphon of all, and that Zen Wolf must know all the answers about the fruit." writing all over it. Marty, Zen and Geamex decided to go look for Cory before he finds the magical fruit. Meanwhile, Cory appeared in Leo Industries, looking for the fruit.



At the Giant Botanical Garden, the three was trying to find Cory, but he was not anywhere in the garden. "This is bizarre. At first he was like super nice and friendly, but not he's evil? This whole thing is just a strange thing to happen." Marty said.

Zen holds both Marty's hand and massages both of them while saying "We'll find him. I promise sweetie we'll find him and stop this whole thing together." Marty smiles and nods with hope "Ok, me, you and Geamex will stop him from stealing the fruit you worked so hard to find out about." He said.

Then they spot one of the guys working on the project, another gryphon called Lindsay. She a passionate gardener with a giant love of the planet and the environment. "You guys are looking for my brother right. That guy always cares too much about him self." She said while crossing her arms and looking not surprised by his brothers actions.

"I know you. You're Lindsay, the one who does videos about the wonders of nature." Zen said.

"So you heard of me." Lindsay said before recognizing the wolf, his quail boyfriend and his parrot friend. "Wait a minute. Your Zen, that bodybuilding, muscular, botanist that loves this quite frankly, handsome quail with nice muscles. Loved the Pompadour By the way."

"Thanks. I work hard to maintain this awesome Pomp." Marty said, who quite like the praise giving to his pomp. "Yeah, Marty's Pomp is awesome just like the rest of him." Zen said. And Marty flexes his right bicep just for Zen. "Yep, i'm Zen's perfect little boyfriend."

Lindsay was thrilled to see another couple that is gay and very healthy. "It's nice to see another gay couple. I'm kinda gay too, and in a relationship with someone very nice, kinda like Marty is to you Zen." She said.

"Well, that's nice to hear." Marty said "It's great to be open about your relationship and love whoever means to you the most, like me and Zen, we care about each other, we are happy with each other, and we enjoy the time we have together."

Lindsay smiles "I'm happy for you." And then she sees Geamex. "And your Geamex. I've heard so much about you and your book and stuff. And by the looks of it, your a great medical student." She then said. Lindsay has a lot of respect for Geamex and his work.

"Why thank you. I work hard to make medicine to cure any types of illnesses and infections. I want to someday make Illnesses a thing of the past and make the world a better place." Geamex said.

"Yeah. Geamex's dream is to become a great doctor and make medicine that as he said, cure any types of illnesses. We helped him find some flowers and berries from a Hawthorn tree." Zen said.

"That's nice. You know me and my brother came up with Project Nature, before he took all the credit for it. In truth he didn't care about nature, I was the one who cared for nature. And wants to get the magical fruit that increase muscle mass to those who ate it. Kinda like you guys." Lindsay said.

Marty and Zen were both surprised that she knew that they got their impressive muscles by that fruit. "So you've heard about the fruit. Yeah it gave me and my sweetheart Marty a bit of a muscle boost." He said before Zen flexs his muscles in a bunch of poses quicky. "It did my body awesomely." Marty smiles as he swoons over Zen's amazing poses.

"Anyway we're glad we both are in the same page that Cory is not good. And we still don't know where he is." Zen said, before Marty's phone rings. "It's Leo." Marty said and he answer's his call "Hello Leo."

"Hi Marty, I phoned to warn you about Cory. He wants the fruit." Leo said.

"Leo, we already knew that. But thanks for warning us." Marty said to Leo.

"You're welcome. Anyways Cory's in my office. He'll try anything to get the answer out of me." Leo said. He sounded like he need some help with dealing with this gryphon.

"Alright. We'll be on our way. Don't worry Leo, we'll stop Cory together." Marty said.

"Thanks. See you soon." Leo said and hangs up the phone and he sees Cory searching Leo's entire office, looking for the fruit and making a giant mess in the process. He destroys Leo's potted plant and his water cooler. And he took the broken water cooler and throw it with such force that it smashes the window.

Leo thought to himself. "I've gotta buy myself sometime before Marty and Zen comes here. Think Leo think." and Leo thinks to himself on what to do. Meanwhile Cory continues to Break stuff to find the fruit.

"Where the heck is it. I must have it." Cory growls, getting impatient and then Leo pokes him on the back, Cory turns around "What is it!" He yells.

Leo stand behind the gryphon with his arms crossed and smiles. "You know. If you want the fruit so badly, then challenge me to an arm wrestle. If you win i'll tell you where the fruit is." Leo said.

Cory was interested by he challenge "And what if you win?" He asked.

"Then you give yourself up to the police." Leo said. This was Leo's plan, he was going to beat Cory in an arm wrestling, giving Marty enough time to get here and do the rest. And giving his muscles are big and powerful, he'll be able to defeat this gryphon and make him leave.

"Hahahaha! This should be fun." Cory said with an evil look on his face. It looks like he also have a plan.

Meanwhile Marty, Zen, Geamex and Lindsay run towards the Leo Industries building as fast as they can, which is very quickly. Marty thought to himself "Leo, i don't want you to be tormented by this jerk. Me, Zen, Geamex and Lindsay are going to save you." Marty was worried about his boss/friend.

Eventually the four made it to the building. And Marty opened the door, and the four gone inside the reception hall. "Why did our date have to take a turn for the worst?" Zen said. he didn't want the date to turn out like this. "I just wanted to walk with Marty on this botanical garden, only to lead to a brother of a environmentalist who wants to steal the muscle growing fruit."

Marty gone up to Zen and comforts him "It's ok the date didn't turn out the way that you hope it would. I'm just fine to be around you. You're amazing and friendly to everyone you ever know, and i couldn't have it any other way." Marty holds Zen's left hand with both of his hands. "Zen, your special to me. You helped me out on so many times. We gave each other happiness and joy anytime we are together. And i love you, i love you more than anything i ever loved before. To me, your my eternal boyfriend."

Zen then closes his eyes, and says to him "Thank you Marty. Thank you for being there for me." And he caresses Marty's face "You are my angel." And both of them kissed each other "Now then, let's go save your boss "everyone." He said.

Geamex gives Zen a thumbs up. and the four head to the elavator. It was big and fits up to 5 people. "Huh, This Leo guy sure thought of everything. This is a good size of a elavator." Lindsay said, being impressed by how big the evavator is.

"That's Leo for you. Always thinking extra." Marty said.

"We'll be at his office in no time." Geamex said, and then press the button that takes them to the top flour, where Leo's office is at.

The four of them are now going up the elavator and they wait until they go to the top of the building.

Meanwhile Leo puts his big, beefy and well-builded right arm on his desk, resting his elbow on the desk and puts his left arm in his back. "You're ready." Leo said with a confident grin on his face.

Cory then grips his right hand to Leo's hand, puts his elbow on the desk and puts his foot forward. "Oh you have no idea what is in store for you." Cory said.

"We'll see. Now let's do it." Leo said. They then began to arm wrestle, and right away, Leo shows incredible strength straight away, almost pinning Cory's arm for the win. But then Cory use all of his power to not lose to Leo "You're good, but i'm better." Cory said, already feeling the pressure of Leo's powerful raw strength, but Cory uses all his might and pins Leo's arm on the desk with such force that he ended up breaking Leo's desk in half.

Leo was lying on the ground with his arm being hurt by the impact of the pin. That left some bruises on his arm. And then Cory saw the fruit. It was in his desk the whole time. "Yes, finally. The fruit, at long last i found it. Now nothing will stand in my way." Cory said loudly.

Just then Marty, Zen, Geamex and Lindsay had entered Leo's office and was shocked to find Cory got his hands on the fruit. Marty notices Leo on the ground in agony goes up to Leo. "Leo, are you ok?" Marty said to Leo.

"Yeah, I just got a damaged arm. I'd had worst outcomes. But I tried to hold him off as long as I can. Marty, thanks for coming at the right time. Now we can stop him." Leo said. Marty was a thankful that Leo distracted Cory for as long as he can. "It's ok Leo. Just let me, Zen, Geamex and Lindsay do the rest." Marty said, giving Leo a big thumbs up and a nice grin to give Leo some hope.

"Ok. You do it. I'll just watch you do the rest." Leo said. Just then Cory takes a bite out of the fruit. All five said in unison "NO!". Cory don't like the taste. "Seriously. How did you stand this taste. It's awful." He said.

Zen crosses his arms. "I can't believe I have related to you. You're a joke. The only thing bigger than your the muscles you are going to get is your ego." He said. His choice of words.

Just then, Cory beings to feel the power of the fruit takes his effect. "I can feel the power growing. It's painful but it's amazing." He said. His arms suddenly double in size, and then his torso ballooned and his pecs got bigger and his abs became hard as titanium, and his legs grew massive in no time flat, until he became a giant, hulking monster of muscle and wings.

Everyone looked in utter shock. Cory was now bigger than all of them, looking more like the Incredible Hulk than a professional bodybuilder. He took a look at his hands. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"Not this is what i'm talking about. I'm bigger than all of you, compared to me, you're all like little dolls." Cory said, and then does an evil laugh that all supervillains tend to do. Zen then said "Again, i can't believe i have related to this fruit loop." Geamex then sees Cory looking over Marty and Leo and pokes Zen in the back.

"Umm, Zen. Cory's about to do something to those two." Geamex said and Zen sees Cory gone up to Marty and Leo, and picks up Leo without breaking a sweat. Zen, not wanting to see his boyfriend get hurt by the giant gryphon runs up to Cory and wacks him on the back of his head. "Ow, what the heck." Cory said as Zen stand next to Leo and Marty.

"That's what you get for almost doing something bad to my sweetheart you titanic Jerk." Zen said while protecting Marty and Leo from what Cory is about to do with them. Cory then laughs again, "What's so funny?" Marty said.

"Oh it's nothing. I've got a brilliant idea. How about an arm wrestling match, to test out these enormous pipes." Cory said while he flexs his giant muscles.

"Arm Wrestling? Intresting idea." Marty said, just then Leo grabs Marty's arm. "Don't do it. He just beaten me with his smaller muscles, who knows what he'll do with those bigger muscles." Leo warns Marty, Worried that they'll both get hurt by Cory.

"Don't worry we are not going to lost to him." Marty said, and looks at Zen with a confidents in both of their eyes. "We're in." He said.

Cory then said "Usually two against one is not fair, but with my muscles I think I can let it slide." Then he grins an evil. Geamex thinks of something, he has a plan.
"I have a great idea. All we need a little something." Geamex said, and Lindsay was curious this Parrot's awesome idea "Sure, i'm all ears. What's is it?" She said, and Geamex whispers in Lindsey's ear. Whatever the idea is she was impressed by it.

Marty Notices Geamex and Lindsay having a conversation and says to those two "What are you two talking about?". Geamex and Lindsay smiles at each other and gives him a thumbs up, a sign that he have an idea to stop Cory's evil plan. Both Marty and Zen gives them a thumbs up back and Geamex and Lindsay exit the office to do their plan.

Marty looks at Cory and said "You're are going down. You can't beat me and my knight in shining armor Zen." Cory rolls his eyes "We'll see about that" and then he remembers that the desk was destroyed "Oh yeah, I broke the Cobra's desk. Darn. Oh well I guess I have to use one of the broken halves as a table." Cory then takes one of the halves of the destroyed desk and turned it sideways and put it on the ground "There. That should do it. Not then, let's rock."

Marty and Zen walked towards Cory near the sideways desk halves while Leo sat there, watching These two lovebirds try to stop Cory. All three sat on the ground with their legs crossed, and then Cory puts his giant right arm on the broken desk as carefully as possible so he doesn't break it more than he already broken it before. "There we go. You are going down." Cory said.

Marty holds the back of Zen's right hand "I'll give you the strength to the beat him together." Marty said, confident he and Zen will defeat this giant Gryphon. Then they grip their hands onto Cory's massive hand, and off they went. Despite Cory's increased power, Marty and Zen was doing very well. They used all their combined strength to bring Cory's arm close to the desk.

Cory uses all the strength to lift Both Marty and Zen's arm up. It was an even matchup. The two lovers won't let Cory win this match. Leo gives the two some motivational words "You can do it you two. Give it your all. Marty, Zen, don't let him defeat you." Marty and Zen, motivated by these words use all their power to almost pin Cory's arm onto the broken desk.

"No, NO! I can't lose." Cory said. He tries to use the strength of his giant muscles to turn the tides, but it's no use. Marty and Zen pins Cory's arm and wins.

"Yes! We did it!" Marty said with joy, and hugs Zen. And then he asked "Leo, wanna join in?" Marty asked Leo. It was the first time that Leo expressed joy like this in a long time. "I'm proud of you too. You did an outstanding job taking down this bozo." Leo said.

"No problem Leo. That's how we roll." Marty said, and Leo gives a nice smile. Zen then sees Cory and the ground lying there.

"Hey, you lost so can you please do us all a favour and go to jail already. And I don't appreciate you eating the fruit I worked hard to find." Zen said, very angerly at the defeated Gryphon, but then, Cory sits back up and then picks himself back up.

"This isn't over. I'm still super strong, i'm all powerful. I'm.." Cory said before getting hit by a tranquiliser dart in his right pec.

It was Geamex and Lindsay who fired the dart directly at Cory. Cory then looked at the dart and starts to feel dizzy, then he collapsed and fell on the floor, sleeping very peacefully. "Don't worry guys, he'll be asleep for a while. Enough time for him to go to jail." Geamex said, and then Lindsay, looking at her sleeping brother said "I'll be running Project Nature from here on. You have a nice time in prison bro."

Then the five of them looked at the giant sleeping Gryphon and then Leo said "Ok, we'll all carry him together." And Marty and Zen then grabs both of Cory's legs and Geamex and Leo grabs his arms. Then they pick Cory up and being to carry him all the way down to the ground floor, and Lindsay calls 911 ready for the Gryphon to get picked up. The four musclebound guys takes the stairs because of how big Cory is, being very careful not to break anything in the building.

Eventually the four beefcakes made it to the ground floor where they see the police. "So, this Gryphon stole the credit of that garden in the park and became a hulking brute. That was intresting." The police officer said, not being surprised by this one bit.

Zen did a tiny chuckle and said "Yeah. He kinda broke my heart and lied about loving nature. But it's done now." And he hands the sleeping Gryphon over to the officers.

The officers then tries puts Cory in the back of the police car, but he was too big. So with the help of Marty and Zen, they tie Cory to the top of the card with some rope as tight as they can, so he can't escape. "Don't worry, we'll make sure he never comes out of prison again. Take care." one officer said.

"We will." Marty said, and they go back in the car and drive off to put Cory to Jail. All five of them were happy they stopped Cory's rampage, but Marty notices Zen starring into the sunset. "What the Matter Zen?" Marty asked Zen.

"Oh, I was just a bit let down that the date I planned went wrong. But at the same time, i'm happy that this date will end in the most perfect way possible." Zen said, and the smiles a smile that Marty recognized. Geamex and Leo then gone up to The two lovers. "Hey guys, are you ok?" Geamex said.

Marty Softly said "Yeah, we're alright. Mind if we go to the small beach down the street?" Leo knows that Marty wants to talk to Zen in private, and he softly said to Marty "Yes, you can. Oh and thank you for saving me again."

Marty said "You're welcome, thanks for being an amazing boss.", and those words flattered Leo a little bit, "Well, i do my best." He said, and the four of them chuckled. Geamex said "Oh, i love it when things turn out good in the end." and Lindsay walks to Geamex and he said "Lindsay, good luck on Project Nature."

"I will. Goodbye everyone." Lindsay said as she waved good bye to the four. Marty, Zen, Leo and Geamex wave goodbye to Lindsay, and she goes back to Project Nature to make it the perfect garden to show the beauty of nature to everyone in the city.

And with that, Marty looked at Zen and said "Ready to go?" and Zen answered Marty's question by saying "I'd love to." Marty and Zen both said bye to Geamex and Leo "Take care you too." Leo said. Geamex looked at Leo and said "You know. You are such an awesome boss for Marty." he said, and Leo gives Geamex a thumbs up.

Marty and Zen made it to the small beach are on the outskirts of the city. Both of them sit near the water and listen to the waves crashing. "The sounds of those waves are so therapeutic. It makes you forget about all the bad things in your life." Zen said peacefully.

"I agree. It's so amazing." Marty said. And then Zen looked at Marty and said "Marty, you mean the world to me. You always been the bright spot of the day."

Marty then said "Yeah, i can agree. Ever since we met a while ago, we have became more than gym buddies, we became a loving couple."

"Yeah. And Nathan is enjoying his job at the Market with my cousin. He's has grown, we all grown a lot. Me, you, Leo, Geamex, Joey and Nathan. We changed, not just physically, but in the stuff we do." Zen said.

"Remember the time where we met Nathan while working on his job. Man that was a good time." Marty said, remembering all the times that they been through together.

"Yeah, that was good. We did so much for our friends and family. I'm glad you were with me the whole way though." Zen said.

"Yeah. Me too" Marty said, and they just sat there looking at the sunset, not saying a single word as they watch the sunset. Meanwhile Marty was thinking a lot, and as it became night time, he feels like saying it to Zen. "Zen" Said Marty.

Zen said "What is it Marty?", and Marty with all his feeling said out loud "I want to marry you." Zen looked surprised. He didn't expect Marty to say something like that in his life. "M-Marry me." He said, still a little shocked that Marty said that.

And Marty then hold Zen's left hand with both his hands and with all his heart said to Zen "I want to be by your side for all eternity. You are the best boyfriend I ever have in my life, you made me into the man I am now. Zen, I love you, more than anybody I ever loved before. And I know that in your heart that you feel the same way."

Marty continues to say to Zen what he feels with tears coming down on his face. "You don't have to feel sad anymore. I don't care what comes in the future, but I want to see that future with you, by my side. Zen, I want us to be together." and with one soft "Forever." Zen then said to him with tears rolling down his eyes "If it makes us happy forever, than i will merry you."

Marty then hugs Zen, being happy that Zen wants to merry him. "Thank you Zen. Thank you for everything." He said, being the happiest he ever felt in his life.

"You're welcome Marty." Zen said to Marty in his own Zen way, "I'm happy for us both." Zen then cries with his own tears of joy, even he was very emotional by this.
Marty then wraps Zen with his beefy arms and whispers to him. "I'm here for you sweetie.", and then they heard a someone walking towards them, it was Nathan, Zen's step-brother. Zen, suprised to see his step-bro said "Nathan, i didn't expect to see you here." while he wipe away his tears.

"It's ok. So, you two are getting me
Married?" Nathan asked curiously with Zen then saying "Yes, we agreed that me and Marty will get married."

Nathan smiles, he was proud that his brother is getting married with his boyfriend. "Well if Marty means the world to you, then i'm supporting you every step of the way." He said, and Zen still a bit emotional said "Thank you Nathan." And then he said "Let's go home." And the three goes home with Zen holding Marty's hand. Who knows what the future holds of Marty and Zen and the rest of the friends. But one thing is certain, they'll do it together.

The End.
