[Kigurumi, Brainwashing]

"Ahahaha! Run away! Run away, before I stuff you into my minions! You'd be much better if you climbed in of your own will, but I'm a generous Monster! I'll give you vain hope, so I can drag it out from underneath you!"

A new threat had made its way into the streets of Bakehara. A Spirit who wanted nothing more than to make more of herself. A Spirit that almost stretched into the skies with how tall she stood, not unlike classic Kaiju. Then again, she wasn't actually that tall. She more fit the label 'Mini-Giantess', but that still gave her more than enough total mass on anybody that would dare stand up to her. Combine that with her thick scaled body that made her look like some sort of stitch together mess of different reptiles layered on top of one another, and she struck more than enough fear into the hearts of those around her.

But she wasn't dangerous on her own. At least, not as dangerous as she was when she started to stuff people into suits that looked like smaller versions of herself. Each of them with a different emphasized trait. Whether it was wings, claws, arms, you name it. All of these lesser Spirits were more than happy to aggress on the populace to try and make more of themselves. None were able to really see the process happen, but given the words that left the massive Spirit's mouth, it involved stuffing them into their bodies...

"Ahhh..." The Spirit grinned, baring all of her teeth. She felt really good. It had been a while since she felt this good. And it was all thanks to that silly Mage that tried to strike her down just a bit ago. What was she thinking, trying to strike down one of her kind? Of course, the relationship between the Mages and the Spirits weren't exactly public knowledge, so the public certainly didn't understand why two ostracized entities would fight against one another.

But after stuffing her into an egg and giving her a more thorough conversion, soaking her Spirit and her human self in the same sort of energies that gave birth to the lesser Spirits that she commanded... She was just perfect. She was ready to be unleashed on the world at large...

"Mama..." The converted Mage, now little more than a blue-colored lizard-like Spirit with enormous arms that were perfect for punching which was a far cry from the speedy approach she took to combat prior, looked up at her much bigger maternal figure. Not that she wasn't huge. Out of all the lesser Spirits, she was the biggest. She reached all the way up to the lizard-like Spirit's chest, where she'd be able to nurse if her Mama had any breasts to nurse from. For now, she could just nuzzle against it and show her devotion...

The greater Spirit patted her lesser on the head. While the Mage was trapped within her Spirit's reformed 'self', she'd be able to sap so much good energy from her. Her ultimate goal, if she wanted to keep all of this up, was to make sure that the girl wouldn't be able to break free. The longer she could drain her, the better.

"Yes, my dear. You know what you must do, don't you?" The Spirit said, letting her elongated tongue lick across every individual tooth in her mouth. She was savouring all of this delicious energy. Just so she could continue growing strong. More powerful..!

Her 'daughter' nodded as electricity started to pour from her own scaled lips, that very same electricity pulsing through her arms. "Crush... Break... Convert..!" The girl-turned-Spirit didn't have much intelligence to speak of in this state. All that she had was her loyalty to her Mama. That was what mattered most of all.

All she had to do to make Mama happy was break anything that got in her way. Whether it was a Human or a Spirit. Even Demons should get stuffed..! And it wouldn't be hard to do either. She'd just have to slam her fist down on somebody, and then her suit-like body would do the rest. Electrifying them until they served Mama... Just like she did...

Just as the girl-turned-Spirit started to drool down rivers of electricity upon the populace, something flew at her in the corner of her eye. And due to her size, she was utterly unable to react in time.

*SMASH*

A rock the size of her head knocked her straight into one of the buildings, glass shattering and harmlessly bouncing off her hard scales, her mind growing disoriented as she tried to get back up after that hit. Her whole world was spinning. What had just happened? What was going on? Where was Mama..?

"Who dares?!" The maternal Spirit cried out as several spikes started to pop out across her entire body. Her mood turned from diabolical to furious in the span of a few seconds. Whoever had done this, whoever had hurt the girl she coveted for all of her energy... THEY WOULD PAY!

Another rock flew through the air, this one barely missing the bigger monsterous Spirit's head. But just as the feminine matron was about to laugh and try to strike whoever had tossed it, she noticed something incredibly tiny heading straight for her face.

In that moment, a single foot made contact with her face. And it felt like she had been hit by the most violent avalanche of rocks to ever grace the earth. So much so that the Spirit was toppled over right then and there, her firm grasp of the situation having completely disappeared at this point.

"Phew, kind of hard to get all the way up here, y'know!" The relieved voice of a young woman echoed out through the air, as she looked at the two Spirits that she had just felled. "It's not right to bother people, especially if you're that huge, y'know?" She said, right before her body glowed and she fell to the ground like a rock pulled down by gravity...

Strangely, she didn't exactly receive an answer. Neither of the two Spirits were seemingly keen on doing much of anything after she slammed into them with all the power she possessed. Weird, she thought baddies were made of some sterner stuff. Oh well, not like it mattered too mu-

The newly arrived woman looked at both of the Spirits, and something became increasingly obvious. Especially as she looked up at their heads. Or rather, their lack thereof. They were completely headless. Weird, she was pretty sure that she had struck both of them in the head. And rather hard too, that's why she thought they weren't reacting. Guess they didn't really have a head to work with or somethin'?

"Uuughh..."

Upon hearing the faint sound of somebody having an aching time, the woman took her time getting over to the source, only to find a young looking gal, the kind that would still be in high school, clad a blue and white uniform with several lightning motifs printed all across her outfit. Suffice to say, she probably wasn't a normal girl. Far from it. Well, that'd explain why she seemed to spew lightning from her mouth when she was stuck inside that thing.

"You alright?" The mysterious woman asked as she kneeled down, reaching out to the grounded girl. Even though she had been the one to ground her in the first place. Better to apologize for what she had done and then figure out what had happened.

The blue-haired girl trembled a bit as her eyes opened, only for a massive blush to coat her cheeks. Everything that she had been apart of for the last few hours just hit her like a train. She had been some rogue Spirit's little scaly daughter, and she had ENJOYED IT?! Oh, god, kill her now. At least her friend didn't see her...

"G-Go away. Go aw-" The blue-haired girl was about to shout at the stranger, only to blink as she gave her a good look. She then gently tilted her head, an eyebrow raised. "Wait, who in the world are you? You don't look like a Mage or one of those Link chumps..."

The woman tilted her head back a bit, though her expression currently wasn't very readable. After all, she was wearing a thick set of near-golden armor that covered a black undersuit with several golden lines pouring across serving to show how her power was pouring through her. Though, compared to anybody in the city, even the Demmons, the fact that her armor was so tight around her head to the point of having her hair replicated on the outside, even if it was stiff and unmoving, made it look less like she was armored and more like she was encased in one big layer of latex.

"Me?" The woman said, grabbing an emblem that hung right on the middle of her waist, flipping it into the air as her armor broke apart in the process, crumbling a bunch of rocks. The same kind of rocks that she had been tossing at the enemy. "Name's Arnice Adalet. I'm a wanderer of sorts. Pleasure to meetcha." She said, reaching out with a bright smile on her face.

Arnice, once freed from her incredibly tight armor, certainly fit the aesthetic that one would come to expect from a wanderer. Whether it was the brown poncho that rested on her shoulders, the warm yellow shirt that kept her heated whenever the elements got a bit tougher, or the functional long black pants that reached all the way down to her tough boots. And once she caught the emblem out of the air, she attached it to her belt once more, the orientation flipped to reflect its inactive status.

"...Serena." The blue-haired girl said, sighing a bit. Guess this woman wasn't somebody to worry about. Besides, she still had to deal with her body still trembling after that last hit, and the fact she had to cope with being somebody's precious little daughter for longer than she honestly wanted to. "Don't know why you're here, don't really care. Just get out of here before you get swept up in more trouble. Trust me."

Arnice scratched the back of her head, her dark-with-blonde-roots hair helping to make her look like an outsider. "You sure you don't need any help? Wouldn't want you to get stuck inside one of those things again. Whatever they are." She paused, looking towards the empty Spirit costume. "...How tight was it?"

"Too tight." Serena immediately shot back, glaring a bit. "Why would you even ask something like that?" She changed her mind. This woman was somebody she definitely didn't want to associate with. Considering her armor prior, and her talks about the tightness of the suit, the tightness of her partner turned into a mere suit... She wasn't to be trusted.

Arnice blushed a bit, nervously laughing. "J-Just wonderin'. Don't worry about it, it's just natural curiosity!" She chimed, trying to appear as harmless as she could. "But, well, if ya want me to go, I'll head off. You know where I might be able to find the lady that did this to you?"

"What part of don't get involved didn't you understand?" Serena asked, only to look into Arnice's kind sky-blue eyes and sigh. Of course she had to be one of those types. "You're not going to take my advice. Fine. Just follow her smell. Even if you don't know what a Spirit is, you'll pick up on it quick. Especially if you're as strong as those rocks implied."

With that, the blue-haired girl started to jitter around, only to pierce straight into the skies above in the form of a thunderbolt. And the enormous suit she had been wearing followed suit, turning into lightning alongside her. So this was her power, huh? It wasn't something that Arnice was too familiar with, but it was damn impressive. Made sense that some bad lady would try and control her...

"Right then. Follow the smell?" Arnice said, sniffing through the air as she slowly walked down one of the streets of the city of Bakehara...

Before quietly gagging. Yeah. She was going the right way...

---

"It's not faaaaair!"

"It's okay, dear, it's okay. How could we have seen this coming? I was sure that we had all the time in the world to test out your favorite toys. I never expected somebody like that to come by..."

Meanwhile, in the middle of an abandoned warehouse, surrounded by so many different looking empty lizard-like suits, were two unlikely partners. A young girl with big round glasses that made her look like an absolute nerd, especially with her hair tied into two very long braided pigtails, and miniature version of the matron that had wreaked havoc on the city just moments prior...

"So what!? They ruined my fun! It's not fair!" The black-haired girl cried out, huffing and puffing and crossing her arms as she started rolling around on the floor. "We can't just keep getting bullied by them all! Whether it's those Link dummies, or the Mages! I thought you said you could help me have fun with my toys, not get bullied more!"

"I did say that, my sweet little Hinata..." The larger lizard said, carefully picking up the grumpy girl and wrapping her arms around her, bringing her close to her surprisingly soft scales, almost pulling her straight into her suit-like body in the process. "But even a powerful Spirit like me can be caught off guard. Even if I've helped you bring your toys to life, you have to remember that I can't work every miracle you might need."

Hinata Okoshi huffed as she slowly nuzzled her face up against the scaled toy-like Spirit. "Yeah. Yeah... I just want to have fun. I know you're trying your best, Aletheia, but you gotta try harder! Otherwise... otherwise..." She sniffled, burying her face in those soft scales. Ah, she got worked up again...

The maternal lizard carefully kissed her sweet little pactmaker. She had found her in the rain one night, having been forced out of her home for one reason or another. And she took the opportunity to worm her way into her heart. She had intended to make her a Witch, a human that served as her Host while taking advantage of the powers that this bond gave them, and she had very well suceeded... But this bond was a dangerous one, and not just because of the possible damage that the human could take.

No, Aletheia had been harmed by the bond. Because she had fallen for the poor girl that she had enabled. She had seen the kinds of toys that she could make once she put her mind to it. But thanks to everything that had happened to her, she was left more than a little damaged. It was up to the Spirit, an unlikely source of warmth and protection, to make sure that she'd stay safe. Even though she had planned to use her like any other Witch she had previously bonded with.

"We can always try again, Hinata. You just need to put your mind to it." Aletheia said, gently squeezing her sweet little girl's cheeks. "You can make another Kaiju-like toy if you want. And I can pour my power into it to animate it. Then we'll find somebody, like that Serena girl you didn't like, and make her so much cuter. You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

Hinata nodded as she slowly pulled her glasses off and wiped her eyes clear of tears. "Thanks, Aletheia." She said, smiling. There was that beam of sunshine that made the Spirit fall in love with her. The smile that made her want to protect her from the bottom of her heart...

"Anything for you. My sweet little Hinata." The living suit, that had taken on one of Hinata's favorite kinds of forms, smiled as she gave her a peck on the forehead. She was really proud of the young girl. And she'd do anything to see that smile stay on her face, no matter what it'd take.

Just as the two were busy healing themselves emotionally, they heard the sound of something trying to break in. And on sheer instinct, Aletheia opened up and pulled her ally into her, to keep her safe and snug and protected against anybody that might do her harm. And then she laid down amongst the other suits, hoping to be passed over when the invader looked at her.

She felt her heart sinking into the deepest part of her body as a rock flew through the warehouse, the rock making impact with the other end of the abandoned building while somebody casually whistled at how durable the walls were. That very same somebody had to be the one that had hit her earlier. How did she find their hideout..?!

"I gotta say." Arnice started as she climbed onto one of the huge looking suits, admiring her own work as the rock she had tossed started to roll down the side of the wall. "They make buildings out of some stern stuff in this city. I'm surprised the building earlier didn't collapse when I smacked that Serena gal into it!" She laughed a bit, stretching as she looked at the sea of plush-like creatures in front of her. So many different kinds of lizard. Some big, some small, some round, some tall. "Gotta hand it to whoever made these too, they're real neat lookin'. Shame they had to cause trouble with them, but what can you do?"

The wanderer wandered across the different suits, humming and wondering where she might be able to find the one that had been inside the bigger suit. If she could just do that, then she could set her straight and make sure she wouldn't do that stuff again. Maybe even tell her that she could do something better with her life, if all these suits were anything to go by.

"Heeey! Anybody in here?" The wanderer cried out as she leapt from suit to suit. Honestly, she was wondering if there was even anybody in here. Maybe this was just the place that they dumped new suits until they needed them. Maybe they weren't really going to use any of these. It was hard to tell. But all she could do was make her way across the room.

"She's hurting the suits! Aletheia! Do something!"

The voice of her dear Hinata echoed through the living suit's mind, her eyes acting as her dearest Hinata's eyes while she was being worn. And she agreed. While the woman didn't seem like a threat at the moment, the fact that she manipulated rocks and had previously ruined their plans meant that she was an enemy. And the only logical conclusion to deal with an enemy was to convert her into one of their minions. Even if she didn't have the same sort of energy that would allow an easy conversion, like what had been done with Serena...

...Actually, now that she thought about it, there was one way. But it required a particular setup. For now, she had to spread her power...

"Heeeey! I won't hurtcha! Just come out, we'll talk!" Arnice cried out as she practically shouted across the sea of plush. And she had to sigh as she collapsed on top of the belly of one of them, scratching the back of her head. Did she come on a bit too strongly? It wasn't out of the realm of possibility, she did always get warned by her buddies that she had a tendency to go overboard. Just, the tiniest bit. Then again, who didn't love the ol' rock trick to break open a couple doors?

As she wondered where exactly the lady that had been inside the suit had gone, she was utterly unaware of the suit underneath her starting to move around. It was the subtle kind of movement that you'd miss if you weren't paying attention. And of course, since she was busy dwelling on the past, she was definitely unaware.

But not unaware enough to notice the big arms trying to grab her. No, she had seen that kind of trick before. Mostly because it was how she awoke to her interest in being tied down and enclosed by something tight. Like her armor. Unfortunately, she wasn't in the mood to play around with that kink when a Monster was the one behind it!

Just as the hands tried to grab her, she tossed two massive rocks from her hands, the emblem on her belt flipping around as her armor materialized just as quickly as it had gone away. She was ready fight, no matter what tried to grab her.

"Seriously! I just want to talk! Don't make me toss rocks around, I don't want to hurt your stuff!" Arnice cried out, trembling a bit as she panted. Ah, it felt good to wear this armor. Maybe a bit too good. She had to focus though. If she got too distracted, worse things might happen.

The armored wanderer jumped from her current footing off to another suit, landing squarely on its chest, looking left and right to make sure it didn't try anything. "You make really cool suits! Don't you wanna use them for something that isn't violent? Like, you could cheer up a bunch of kids by proving they could fight against other baddies! Haven't you been on the receiving end of something like that? Seeing an inspiring soul do something kind for you?"

Her words fell on deaf ears. Not because Hinata was deaf when she was inside Aletheia. But because of what she had already done to try and hurt the two. Her words were disingenuous. It didn't matter if her intentions were actually sincere. She had proven herself to be a threat. And one way or another, they would make her pay for what she had done. She would pay for trying to hurt their creations, their friends!

The ground underneath Arnice started to rumble again, and she got ready to toss another rock at an approaching arm. She wasn't that dumb, if they tried to do the same thing over and over, she'd get ready to react in time to stop them.

Of course, that was exactly what they were planning on. Instead of grabbing her with their arms like they had done before, the ground she had landed on wasn't exactly safe. No, it was a cavity in the suit's chest. A cavity that led straight into it. And once the suit started to move, it opened to suck the armored girl inside in a matter of seconds, leaving her with barely any time to react.

Arnice didn't even get a chance to cry out in shock as she was suddenly swallowed by the hole. Or rather, the suit extended and clamped down around her to make sure that she went down smoothly. Preventing her escape and making sure that she was nestled nicely and tightly inside that suit. She was going to serve as its power source, after all. Even though, even when puppeteered by the Spirit that had set all of this in motion, it didn't really know what a power source was. All that the suit knew, with what little consciousness it had, was that it needed something inside it.

"T-There." Aletheia cried out, panting as she was forced to let go of the girl inside her. It took a lot of energy, and she hadn't quite recovered from the last bout. So she had to tap into the reserves inside her partner, something that left both of them tired because they weren't used to it. They had mostly been using Aletheia's reserves, and stopped when they ran out to make sure that she had the chance to recover. To go even further, just to make sure that they wouldn't have any problems, was a new experience for both of them...

Hinata coughed, spit hitting the floor as she staggered onto her feet. It felt awful to expend that much energy. Is this what it really felt like to be a Witch? Did Aletheia go easy on her because she cared about her? Both of those questions rushed through her mind, but she honestly didn't know the answer to either. All that she knew was that she wasn't exactly having a great time...

"I-Is she going to turn into one of ours..?" The black-haired girl asked, slowly looking towards the living suit that had protected her. When all of this was done, she had some strong words for Aletheia. One way or another...

Aletheia looked towards the massive looking suit that the woman had sunk into. Even bigger than the form she had taken just a while back. If there was any one of these suits that was going to overwhelm somebody like her, it'd be the one. She just hoped that she wouldn't make a mess of it. Then she'd be making Hinata even madder than she already had.

"T-tight. T-tight.... Tiiiight..."

Arnice wasn't having a good time inside that massive lizard-like suit. Or rather, she was, she just ddin't want to have a good time. She was very well versed in the intimacy that came with tight clothing, that was why her armor was as tight as it was. Because if she was turned on while she fought, she fought at an even greater level. That was her logic, anyway.

But this suit? This big lizard she was stuck inside? It felt like she was enduring the same kind of pressure that she might imagine a heart might endure, and it certainly didn't help that the walls around her were throbbing with every breath she took. It was like she was being repurposed into one big organ, even though she wasn't being twisted into another shape or anything. She was just stuck there, dealing with it all...

Arnice's breathing was getting warmer and warmer the more the suit pressed down on her. It was extremely soft. And yet so incredibly tight that it felt like her armor would break at any moment from all the pressure put onto it. It was a paradox... And a paradox she was absolutely ashamed to admit that she loved. Why would she ever admit that she loved something like this? She'd be painting a target on her back if people knew she was into this. Then again, she had been wrapped up by mummies, by latex-loving weirdos, even a couple of sissies got ahold of her once. All of them shutting her away. And she loved every moment of it.

Wait. No, no no no. No she hadn't. All of those encounters resulted in her winning. She was sure of it. Why was her mind trying to play a trick on her? Sure, she had fantasized about it all, but she hadn't actually been defeated. She had been... She had...

Arnice's armor quietly cracked and gave way as the suit wrapped further around her. Squeezing its way into her mind. Squeezing her fantasies out of her, bringing them to the forefront. This was how the suit usually broke its victims. It took control of the fantasies that its fuel sources had, and wrapped them in those very same fantasies. It was why Serena had been taking to the maternal Spirit as if she was her Mom, and it was why Arnice's mind was starting to confuse itself and think she had always fallen victim to all those entrapment incidents.

Of course she couldn't resist. The fact that this suit used the very same tactic, as well as bringing her horny thoughts to the forefront, completely distracted the poor woman. How could she possibly resist the way it pressed down on her? She wanted it, after all. She had always wanted it. The sheer fact that she wanted it was more than enough to make the suit easily worm its way into her mind, corroding her and corrupting her in a matter of moments...

It felt good to be wrapped around. It felt good to be a heart. It felt good to be a Monster. It felt good to be a Spirit. It felt good to be one of Mama's Spirits. It felt good to thrash around and cause terror. It felt so good. She wanted more. More, more more more!

Her eyes opened. Or rather, the suit's eyes opened. She had fully synched up with it. And the first thing she did once she realized this was roar in sheer delight, happy to have been fully bonded with the soft Spirit that served as one of Mama's creations.

Aletheia and Hinata both shook in surprise as the biggest suit started to stand up, looking down at the two of them as if it could just chow them to bits and eat them right then and there. That was the kind of feeling that it invoked in them. And yet at the same time, it invoked a sense of safety. Because they could both understand, just from looking at this big monstrous lizard... That it wanted to repay them for what they had done.

Arnice, fully in control of her suited body as a lesser Spirit, bowed down in front of the one that had helped animate her suit, her Mama, and the one that had made in the first place, her other Mama. Both of them were so great...Ah, just having her suit tighten around her was enough to drive her to depths of pleasure she never could've imagined, her tail wagging like an excited dog.

She wasn't the only one that was excited. Once Hinata realized that the big suited wanderer was completely safe to touch, she hugged her big face and giggled, happy to have turned her into an ally. She'd find a way to put her to good use later, but for now she was just happy to have a biiiig friend...

Aletheia smiled. They had a long road ahead of them still. But with this woman as a minion and friend... They might just be able to succeed.

And then, Hinata would have all the friends she could ever desire.
