"Are you sure Jess? The last time we even looked at Punchy Ponytail she freaked out!"

Jess sighed and looked back at Zoe. It was a week after their trip to the gym. Jess knew the team found it surprisingly hard to maintain their normal forms in the following days, shapes sometimes collapsing into puddles of goop at even a touch.

"I know you and Amber really want some sort of squish-back, but it's really a fool's errand. We need backup. Besides, it's clear...it was Bong-Cha right?...must have some a grudge too. She wasn't exactly squee-ing about getting morphed into gym equipment."

Zoe bit her lip. "But do you think she'll actually help?"

Jess rang the bell before answering. "I don't know, but anyone with fists like hers would be a good ally."

A few seconds later, the door opened. Bong-Cha looked exhausted, her clothed disheveled, her ponytail frayed. Most concerning to Jess, Cha didn't even panic at seeing them.

"Oh great, did she invite you here for more special training? Go the fuck away, I'm not punching you today."

Her voice confirmed her exhaustion. She tried to close the door, but Jess caught it.

"Let me explain. Nobody invited us here. Actually, we wanted you to help us get a little payback on Shi from the gym last week."

"Payback?! HAH!" Bong-Cha wasn't trying to slam the door to flatten Jess's face, but she clearly thought the woman was insane. "She'd only enjoy it like you lunatics."

Zoe tugged at Jess's shirt. "Come on, she's clearly not interested."

"Look, Miss Bong-Cha, I've been around enough of these scenarios to know she'll like it. That's why it needs to be a team effort to pin her down for a while. I figure you didn't like being a piston pounding me into-"

"Don't remind me."

Jess nodded. "So how do you even know her? It looked like you two-"

"HEY PONYTAIL! IS THAT MY LUNCH?!" Shi's voice boomed from inside.

All three heard footsteps approaching. Cha jumped. "She's insane. We need to get out of here. How did you get here? I don't see your car."

Zoe and Jess looked at each other, not wanting to explain their unique travel methods. Jess answered slowly. "We...came on foot."

Cha cracked her knuckles. "Good, she won't suspect anything. Just don't pop out of this until we're somewhere safe."

Jess nodded solemnly. "Understood."

Zoe tilted her head to the side watching the exchange. "What are you thinking?"

Cha drew back her fist, and punched Jess right in the gut. She didn't try to defend herself, taking the hit with a smile. Her butt stretched back to the street, then her body snapped to it. For a moment all of Jessica's mass was a brown and green orb in the air, until she burst into the shape of a sports car. Her body expanded like a sponge toy absorbing water, unfolding into a green convertible frame with brown seats and blue tires, and goofy purple eyed headlights.

Cha turned to Zoe. "I'm not sure there's room for you to hide in her. If you can't snap back like she can you might be my purse for a day, sorry not sorry."

Zoe dashed towards Jess, away from Cha's reluctant swing. "Don't worry, I've got an idea. Just drive."

"But what if Shi sees you? She'll...huh?"

Zoe jumped into the air over the Jess-mobile, then dove in with a literal splash of black ink. The interior suddenly had black trim painting the seats. Cha was a little confused by this, but hopped in anyway. When she turned the car on, the screen had a familiar looking assistant looked like a tan and black striped paper clip with big silvery eyes standing in the sand at the beach.

"Now turn Jess on, start her engine, and slam your foot right down on her-"

Cha glared at the screen. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!?!"

"Huh? Oh."

The paperclip's tiny body bulged and twisted, expanding in lots of weird places. It grew a huge ass, tremendous tits, then blooped into Zoe lounging in the sand.

"How are you..."

Zoe railed her sunglasses. "Never mind that, just drive. We can talk about how you have no idea how to punch someone into a car with a proper media center later."

"PONYTAIL?! Are you getting lunch or not?"

Cha looked back at the house while buckling up. "Yes Shi, I'll be back in a few minutes!"

With that she peeled out, speeding away before Shi could get a look at the car.

"Huh...you handle better than most transformed cars I know."

The on screen assistant Zoe laughed. "You'd be surprised how much Scarlett takes her for a drive. Now, about our plan..."

* * *

Eventually Shi returned in the same green sports car with Zoe driving. Bong Cha explained away the strange driver as an Uber.

That evening, Bong Cha drove Shi home after a day of tormenting her for daring to date her son. Even dropping her off was a pain, as Shi made Cha walk her to the door.

"I wish you drove faster Ponytail. I'm barely home in time for my shows."

"Shi, it's called a DVR. I set it up for you last week. 'Who Melts For Me' and 'Life In The Flats' are recorded without commercials."

"HAH! And I can watch it all night around the highlights! It's true you are good for something!"

She smacked Cha on the back, sending her flying through the air back to her pink VW Beatle.

"OOOOF!"
*SPLOOOOOOOOSH*

Cha exploded in a burst of bright pink paint covering the car. Her normally dull pink vehicle now glimmered in the sunset, with Cha's large spiral eyes painted on the hood, and the word JUICY written across the trunk.

"Hah, what a splat! I was gentle enough that should be easy enough even for you to get out of, so if you want to keep seeing my son you...oughtta..."

Shi's cadence slowed when she saw Zoe waving from the side of the house. "Come over here, you've gotta see this!"

"I remember you. You're the one from the gym that tried to fake being stuck on the wall. How long were you stuck as legos?"

Zoe hooped, more insistent this time. "Come on! You really need to see this!"

Shi rolled her eyes and marched over. "Alright, but you know I'm squishing you into a big comfy couch after this right? I have a reputation to uphold amongst-WEEEEEEEEEE!"

Once Shi was close enough Zoe grabbed the tall woman by the wrist and took off. Shi's arms only stretched a little from the surprise, bounding along to keep up. "Oh you're faster than I expected. Slow down for a little old lady?"

Zoe turned and laughed. "Nope, we know you're tough. Besides, we're almost to the back!"

Shi squinted ahead, noticing a thick piece of clear plastic distorting her view of the back. "You know you're supposed to stand up the trap walls where they don't hit you too, right?"

"Pu-lease dear. There's no way I'm letting you have all the fun."

Zoe didn't slow down, and in fact sped up towards the barrier, doing her best to fling Shi's arms ahead to snap her body into it with her.

*SPLAAAAAAAAAAAT*

Zoe gracefully lunged into the wall, letting her huge breasts spread out flat while the rest of her body merged onto the wall. Fleshy curvy bits squished outwards and Zoe's black and tan features swirled around, resolving into a tall but flat painting of Zoe in a yellow artist smock.

Shi's eyes lit up when her body collided with the plastic. Not quite as graceful as Zoe, her grey blouse and plump booty smashed into each other on the wall, crunching together into a doughy mass of toony woman. Soon after she splooshed in a burst of gray goop, covering the chunk of plastic opposite Zoe with her remains.

Flat artist Zoe immediately reached into her cleavage, procuring a paint brush. "Now remember, the key is to relax and just let the art happen. Just dab a little Phoenix here, push a little white for the clouds there, and never forget the almighty triple-D ... uh ... mountains."

Zoe pushed into the mess of Shi paint, rearranging her dripping mess of a body into a legitimate, if crude, painting of a gray night sky.

Her friends walked out from the backyard, having heard the splat, to see Zoe's work.

Scarlett couldn't resist getting up close. "Daaaaw Zoe's so good at painting giant breasts against a snowy sky."

Amber rolled her eyes. "I keep telling her to try drawing booties one of these days."

While they both turned the wall around, Jess kept her distance. "Don't get too close ladies. She's liable to restore herself at any moment.

"She's right you know!"

Shi's eyes appeared atop the mountains, the grayscale painting shook, and Shi popped off the wall, leaving Zoe behind in her two dimensional prison. "Oh this is going to be fun. I don't know what you think you're trying to pull on my own home turf, but rest assured I will give you an even better work-out to scratch your itches this time. DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN KEEP ME DOWN FOR-OOOOOF!"

*SPLAAAAAAAAAAAAT*

A second large chunk of clear plastic swung down from the trees near her house, slamming Shi right back into the plastic she just escaped. Shi's face spread across her mass the most this time, smearing into a ridiculously goofy grin while her butt and boobs stretched wide underneath.

Zoe was looking a little more smeared for her troubles, but the sexy flat artist went right back to work. "Now, by special audience request..."

This time Zoe used Shi's tall legs for paint, crafting them as thick as tree trunks. Instead of an upper body, Zoe moved all of Shi's mass into one giant butt in gray leggings. Every extra brush stroke made Shi's flattened form jiggle, especially when Zoe worked some lighter grays into the word "PHOENIX" across her huge cheeks.

Suddenly, Shi's eyes appeared again on her remains. "Oh that was clever. I really wish you showed me this side of you at the gym, but..."

Scarlett and Amber backed up as Shi's mass shook her plastic prison. The elder woman flowed out the top, splashing to the ground briefly in front of them before quickly spiraling up and reforming into her usual self. "Aaaah....you four are GREAT to play with. But you, braided one, still need to work on your technique. If you want to be an art installation..."

*KA-POW*

With one punch the plastic slabs trapping Zoe twisted into the air. Zoe's painted body stretched and smeared within, eyes suddenly looking worried as she twisted beyond recognition.

"Hah! So focused on me you didn't consider what I could smash these objects themselves into. Now you'll be forced to be my new fountain! I love watching little birds...huh?"

The plastic did mold into the shape of a fountain, but not quite what Shi was expecting. Rather than any number of embarrassing poses, it shaped into Zoe ripping her top off, with a basin formed out of her skirt flipping up in the wind. Zoe's liquefied body flowed through the plastic fountain's mid section, bubbling up in her most black color scheme to spray out her breasts.

"Hah!" Jess laughed behind them all. "Didn't you already see Zoe's skill at taking over a transformation? She's pretty good at splatting into what she wants."

Shi pouted, but let her stare linger at statue Zoe's thighs. "I mean, it's okay. I don't think I can put this on TV anymore. At least she's a healthy woman, I can respect that."

She spun. "Now, for the rest of you, I'll...oh, a fan of my work I see?"

Amber and Jess had backed up to put some distance between them, but Scarlett was still there. Her eyes were locked on Zoe spraying out her chest, and steam was visibly rising from her turned on body. "Holy shit that's hot."

Shi grinned. "Oh how scandalous. Lusting after your team mate again? Here, let me help you out."

She dashed to Scarlett in an instant, and swiped at the red head. She held the black outline of Scarlett over her head like a trophy, watching it melt into black sludge in her hands. "There! Let's see how you can handle my trademark...what is this?! How are you not a useless puddle?!"

Scarlett, with much smoother cell shading, remained standing. Globs of her body were dripping and flowing, but rather than puddling they flowed right back into her. She looked at her hands and flexed them, watching her fingers flow together before breaking apart.

Then she looked up at Shi. "I keep telling people, I'm always melted."

The red head's hand spun in the air, morphing from a human hand to a massive spiked ball. The raised it over her head, letting her legs merge together with a wet "SPLISH", and flowed towards the old woman.

Shi's face slowly twisted from surprise to crazed desire. "YES! THAT IS HOW WE DO IT! YOU MIGHT BE THE MOST POWERFUL TF-ER I'VE MET SINCE-OOOOOOOF!!!"

*SPLAAAAAAAAAAAAAT*

Scarlett's arm crashed down on Shi, compressing the former all-star in a flash. The gray haired veteran's face briefly flashed from crazed excitement to cross-eyed stupor. Her teeth shattered when her face splatted against her chest. Shi squished down with only her gray hair visible above, mass shifting into ridiculous tits and ass trying to escape the confines of her clothes. Her massive curves briefly stuck out from under Scarlett's mace arm, quivering for almost a whole second before smearing against the floor.

Scarlett shook out her hand, returning it to normal. She spared one glance at the sheer size of Shi's pancaked form before looking back to the Zoe statue. Even with Zoe's remains gathering on the side, the fountain remained in place.

"See that Amber? I'm gonna..."

"Babe, wait!"

Scarlett's blue heart eyes were set. She stumbled towards Zoe, not exactly trying to hold her melting form together anymore. When she got close, she jumped in to the fountain's basin, obliterating herself in a splash of blues and reds. With no more Zoe inside, the fountain half filled with Scarlett's liquefied body, looking slightly like a recolored Zoe until Scarlett cycled through the fountain's breasts to the basin and back again.

Amber face-palmed. "But...we're not..."

Jess laughed and patted her shoulder. "Oh come on, did you really expect her not to go after that?"

"I mean...I can't blame her? I guess I need to try that for her later...oh hey! You made it!"

Cha, somehow back in her normal shape, stumbled past the fountain into the yard. "What the hell...Shi made that? Where is..."

Amber pointed at the massive silver pancake on the ground. "I don't think she's done yet. Stay on guard."

"Ya got that right, ya whippersnappers!"

The disk quivered and shook before stretching towards the sky with a very angry Shi face visible on it.

*POP*

Shi restored herself, clothes starting to look disheveled in her rage. She stood tall, snorting smoke from her nostrils and angrily adjusting her necktie. "You know it takes more than a clever slime mace to keep me down. But your allies are abandoning you! And soon I'll have the three of you to mys-OOOF!"

*PUNCH*

Cha was not waiting to see what Shi had next. "Quit your monologuing and do something useful!"

Shi's body flew back from the uppercut, losing cohesion and floating along as a collection of colors. In seconds, they swirled around like molecules orbiting each other, forming a big gray orb with Shi's wild face and generous cleavage drawn on one half. Her sphere was 4 feet in diameter and smooth on the outside, not unlike an oversized bowling ball.

Amber and Cha were about to high five the easy win, when they noticed it rolling faster than when Cha punched her. "Fools! Never create a transformation you can't control! Now watch a master at work!"

Shi zoomed past them.
"WHOA!"

Both ladies narrowly dodged the attack. Shi zoomed at the again, but stopped short.
"WHOA!"

When they dodged anyway, Shi glared at Amber. "An opening! And you're supposed to be the fast one!"

"Meep!"

"AYEEEEEEEEEEEEE--OOH!!!!"
*KA-LOOOOONG*

Amber's body stretched back as far as it could. Her face twisted with effort, but she knew something had to give with someone as powerful as Shi involved.

Amber felt herself tear apart into ten pieces, twisting and swirling with her essence through the air. All Cha saw were ten Amber colored bowling pins scattering through the grass.

Luckily for them, that was all Shi saw too. "There, that ought to hold her. Hnnnnrrrrrrr---"

*POP*

The huge bowling ball shrunk and sprouted Shi's arms, then her legs, and finally resumed her normal shape.

Shi immediately focused her gaze on Cha. She cracked her knuckles, and a fiery silver demonic aura surrounded her. She strode through the Amber's rattling remains, making her soon-to-be in-law back away trembling.

"Now then, what are we going to do with you? A seat cushion is too good for you right now. Maybe another week as my easy chair? Or would you rather be patio furniture."

Cha bumped up against the house and put her arms in front of her face defensively. "YOU'RE CRAZY YOU BITCH!"

Shi was undeterred "Oh I know, but I still need a new tea se-WHAT AE-YAAAAARG!?!"

Amber did not waste time stuck as a pile of pins. As soon as her pieces surrounded Shi, Amber popped back into 10 tiny copies of herself and attacked. Four of her took out Shi's legs, tripping her to the ground, while the rest started stomping the rest of Shi's body into a lumpy gray mush.

*SPLAY*SPLAT*SPLAT*
"Aaaah! Whaaarg?! You're not half bad if you...can...."

*SQUOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

Cha peeked from behind her arms, and finally noticed what was happening. Ten tiny Ambers building a suspicious looking snow woman out of Shi's body. "Wait...how did you...?"

The Ambers turned in unison. "It's really more of a one-off."

Jess called out from her corner of the deck. "Then how come this is at least the tenth time you've done that?"

They all stuck their tongues out at her. "Whatever. She's all yours Cha."

"With gusto." Cha flicked her pink ponytail, lined up Shi with one arm, and wound up her punch with the other. She carefully hopped in, and with one big step-

*KER-PUNCHED*

Shi's already battered body exploded in a fine gray mist, before swirling together into something Amber and Jess identified together.

"A Pinata?!"

Cha cracked her neck back and forth, swinging her pink hair around. "There's no way that crazy bitch is only getting punched once. Her ponytail,"

"Amber!" The remaining copies, already starting to mash themselves back together, turned to shout in unison.

"Whatever," Cha's eyes were locked on her pinata in law. "Hold her up for me."

Once she was back in one piece, Amber did exactly that. Cha found a suitably large stick to swing at it, and both were vaguely aware of Jess getting out her camera while Zoe joined her.

"Woooo, get her!"
"Make her something big this time!"

The pinata shook, but with narrowed eyes. Whatever Shi was capable of in her current form, she was clearly full of rage.

And Cha could see it. "Aw don't worry. We all know you're enjoying this, so just sit back, aaaand-"

Cha wound up, stuck out her tongue, and swung as hard as she could.

*CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK*

Cha smacked the Shi-nata square between the eyes. One twisted in shock and surprise as her already transformed body morphed around the weapon. The other sparkled with pleasure and joy. "OH THIS FEELING! I haven't been smashed like this in-"

*POP*POP*POP*POP*POP*POP*POP*
*HIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSS*

Shi couldn't finish before her pinata body broke apart into hundred of paper mache ribbons, which inflated in turn into hundreds of silver and flesh colored balloons with dark dray ribbons. Each filled to standard volleyball size, and the trailing ribbons tied themselves together. One especially large balloon, with Shi's stupefied grin painted on it, emerged from the center, and she floated away into the sky.

Amber raised a hand, walking in towards Bong Cha. "Niiiiiice one!"

Cha smirked, flipping her pink ponytail around. "Eh, it's a talent I have."

"Aaaaaand cut!"

Both looked over to Jess lowering her camera. Zoe finished slow clapping before quipping, "But do you really think it's over?"

Both fighters shrugged on the patio.  "Probably not?"

Looked up at Cha. "How long is she stuck like that? Any idea when she's coming down?"

"It *shoooould* take a day. But with her? Maybe a few hours."

Neither noticed the growing shadow and high pitched whistling sound around them.

"We should have enough time for us to figure out where she's going, and have something ridiculous surprise ready when she finally-"

*SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH*

Zoe and Jess stared in awe at the humongous trapezoidal weight that fell from the sky. To no one's surprise, Shi's grinning face was drawn on the top of it, above the painting of her absurdly stretched out breasts near the bottom. Amber and Cha's eyes bulged out as their bodies collapsed under her, never having a chance to avoid getting crushed into oblivion. After almost exploding out, their green and pink eyeballs got sucked under with the cloud of smoke, and a cackling Shi-weight above them.

"HAH! That was actually kinda fun. My doctor always told me I should lose weight, but I guess it comes in handy sometimes. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Her giant pyramid shape shook, and slowly morphed back to Shi's regular self. The more she shrunk, the more her victims were visible on the ground. Bong Cha was reduced to a 3 foot circle on the ground. Most of her new shape was dominated by a twisted smile and huge stunned eyes. She was outlined by her bubble-gum pink hair, and her chin was buried in oversized flattened boobs.

Amber must have stumbled over, for she was face planted into the ground. Her massive pink shorts clad ass was spread across the yard. Her smeared out boobs protruded from under her, still in her yellow tank top in large yellow circles. She was paper thin, ten feet long, and knocked utterly senseless.

Neither of the flattened women moved beyond spinning eyeballs.
Shi cackled.
Jess gave Zoe the camera. "Start filming."

Shi kneeled and peeled up Amber's face, confirming her eyes were transformed into green Xs, tongue lolled pit on her flat face. She smiled and kept ripping her from the ground with that familiar loud SHLLLLLLLLRRRRRRRP sound.

"Well well, that WAS a lot of fun. But you see, I'm still late for my soaps. As much as I'd LOOOOVE for you to scratch my transformation itch some more, I really need to get inside, so I have only one more thing for you my dear runner."

"Amber's drawn on mouth slacked open, slurring speech. "I don't wanna train today mommy. I'm a flat tire..."

Shi dragged Amber through the yard like a limp bed sheet. Her limp form bunched up and folded towards Shi's fist, while moving to a nearby garden hose. "Tsk tsk tsk. I didn't think I would need to remind you that you're supposed to stay hydrated during workouts!"

*POOOMPT*

Amber blinked a few times, snapping out of it only to notice the water source jammed into her mouth. Her eyes rolled back next, all too aware of what came next.

*SQUEEEEEEEEEAK*
*GULUUUUG*GULUUUUG*

Water flowed, forcing Amber's cheeks to swell with liquid. She moaned as splashing sounds spread to her chest, making it tremble back to three dimensions. Her skin grew shiny as it stretched down, filling with the weight of the water Shi was pumping into her. Her long ribbon arms were drooping to the ground like fleshy water balloons, but her breasts and belly were just long thin sheet of water.

*gaLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGG*
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!"

And then the water hit Amber's ass. Her pink clad butt sucked up water like a sponge, making her groan through the hose with pleasure. Her rubbery shorts swelled with liquid, expanding past her normal plushie size and beyond to watermelon size. Her top half barely filled further, but her hips were pulsing larger, dragging the rest of her towards the ground with their sheer water weight. Her noodle excuses for legs were shrinking into her growing cheeks, giving the water someplace to grow.

*GLUG* "MMMM!" *GLUG* "MMM!"

Amber's butt was billowing out across the ground now, still expanding, growing to cover a six foot patch of grass. Her green eyes stared at what remained of her waistline, idly wondering what Scarlett would feel like resting on her water-bed sized butt. She longed for it, but she also felt her belly starting to push out, the water finally filling her up. Feeling expansion overcome her, she knew she wouldn't have to wait much longer for the best part.

*CREEEEEEEEEEEAK*
*SMACK!*
"MMMM?!"

Amber was snapped out of her day dreaming by something floppy and fleshy slap against her massive tummy. She looked down, and saw more pink there, tiny sneakers on a disk below a huge pink butt, pulled tight against its fierce cheeks with the word "JUICY" written across it.

Shi slapped Bong Cha with the back of her hand, sending ripples through Amber, making her body creak and groan from the volume of water sloshing within. "I wouldn't want you to have all the fun. Someone needs to give her a bath anyway."

"Mmmmrrrmrmrr! Rrr...Mmmm....MmMMPH!!!"

Amber started to grumble, but her body stretched full faster now. Her whole body grew fuller, stretching herself and the Bong Cha sticker attached to it. Her arms got sucked in until she only had pudgy waterlogged hands wiggling at her shoulders. Her breasts swelled through an alphabet of sizes, until finally the huge bumps of her erect nipples threatened to poke through her shirt.

Even her ponytail swelled with water. Waterfalls streamed out of her eyes. When she was completely full, her body trembled...

And Shi pinched the hose shut, letting a huge bulge of water build up. "Well runner girl? Are you ready to admit this was a mistake?"

Amber shook her head, scattering water and splashing Shi.

Shi looked at her soaked suit, slouched, and sighed. "Fine, have it your way."

She released the water, releasing gallons of water into Amber. Her body doubled in size, stretching Bong Cha, and making her semi-transparent, until...

*CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAK*
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!"
*SPLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH*
*KA-SPLOOOOOOSH*

Shi smiled and admired her handiwork. Water from Amber rained everywhere, and colorful rubbery scraps of the runner were scattered across the yard. Bong Cha flew off her exploding ally into the house, where her weak form splattered into a gooey pink mess. She still at least managed to scrawl herself into the word "JUICY" while dripping down.

"HAH! Your group still can't take it! Any other day I'd love to stick around and play, but I really need to watch these soaps. So where the hell are you with that camera and...and..."

Shi actually stopped mid sentence.

Jess stood tall, arms held away from her hips, calmly taking deep breaths. She was surrounded by an aura of bright purple fire, making her hair dance. "I know you and the Phoenixes were pretty good. You're a living legend. But even you'll need time to restore from this one."

Shi licked her lips. "I mean, who am I to turn down a challenge. I ALWAYS NEEEEED to feel more! HIT ME!"

Zoe very deliberately turned off the camera and tucked it between her breasts. "Babe, you don't mean..."

Jess nodded.

Shi opened her arms to take the proverbial hit. "But I warn you, when I get up and wallop you back, you're going to be my tea kettle for the first show."

"I'd love some tea another time..." Jess blinked, her eyes suddenly much bigger. "If you're lucky I'll have Zoe turn you-"

Zoe hugged her chest defensively. "Jess! I don't do that to just anybody!"

"STOP BICKERING AND DO WHATEVER YOU'RE PLANNING BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!" Shi shouted, stomping and looking a little more disheveled. "I don't care if you've got a huge anvil or a shredder or...or..."

Shi slowed down watching Jess's body grow in strange ways inside her aura. She wasn't inflating or packing pounds, she was hulking out. The muscles were uneven though, and her skin tone was shifting from deep brown to deep pinkish-purple to match her hair. Her back and her butt were swelling to delicious sizes too. Her clothes were straining to contain her, tearing in too many places as Jess grew.

Over the course of 30 seconds, Jess almost doubled in size. She licked her lips. "It's time."

*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP*

She flexed one more time, and her body surged out. Among the shreds of her clothing stood a huge purple dragon. Jess's wings were stretched open, her tail swung over the house.

And somehow Shi was staring at her with giant silvery heart eyes. "YES! THE BIGGER THE MONSTER THE WIDER THE SQUISH! I NEED TO FEEL THIS!!!"

And her eyes were locked on Shi. "Do remind me where your dustpan is?"

Shi looked at her with determination in her eyes, but for the first time a hint of uncertainty. "You won't need it."

The dragon rolled her eyes. "Have it your way."

*FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
"AAAAAAAAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Purple flames engulfed Shi. Her silhouette stood cackling gleefully, arms open, with only her eyes visible. Slowly her form shrank and disintegrated inside, but holding together surprisingly long. Eventually her body did succumb to the heat, falling to a pile of ash under the assault.

The cackling never stopped.

Jess took a step towards her. "Have you had enough? Even you..."

She paused, noticing the ash pile below her shifting around. "Wow...You know I'm honestly impressed."

On the ground, Shi was already pulling dust into a shape resembling her head. "That was exquisite! I need to feel that again! I need to train against that pure fire and-PLEEEEEH"

*SLAM*
*SQUIIIIIIISH*

Jess's massive clawed hand slammed down on her, smooshing her into the ground. "Well then you're lucky. I don't do this for just anybody."

The smooshed disk of Shi ash weakly squeed from under Jess's front leg. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"And have you had enough?"

Jess pulled her clawed fingers apart enough to see Shi's face. The legend was still pulling herself together while squished. Color had returned to her face. She spat some grass out of her mouth before ranting like a crazed lunatic. "Never! Even like this I can feel the blood is still pumping through my veins for the first time in years!"

Jess rolled her eyes. "So how's about we call things even and hit the sauna? Think you can play nice for a little while?"

Shi hesitated, looking around almost embarrassed. "Okay, but you have to do one thing."

"Okay..."

Shi blinked, looking the dragon in the eye. "Breathe fire on me again!"

Jess shrugged. "It's your dustpan."

*FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

Afterwards, Jess's body rapidly shlurped and shrunk through the air like a pile of noodles, until she was once again standing as a dark skinned woman with dark pink hair. "I'll pick up whatever's left of the others and we can head over."

No sooner than Jess stepped away did the pile of Shi dust shake on the ground, before

*POP*

Shi snap back into shape. "Fine. As long as I can get my fix. But are you really-"

"Yep." Jess turned and winked. "Just don't tell anyone, or no fix for you."

Shi grinned, looking genuinely happy for once. "I swear it on my honor as a league champion. But, if I'm supposed play nice for a day..."

Jess and Zoe looked back at her, eyebrows raised.

"How are we going to stop Bong Cha from melting on contact with the sauna?"

They all looked at each other, before laughing hysterically.

"Okay. Maybe except for that."
