Jesse still hadn't processed what happened, but Scarlett gave her a smack on the rear end. "You heard her, she's all yours!"
Jesse stumbled forward. "Wait, don't just push me into my ene-"
*POW*
Jess did not wait for Jesse to regain her balance. She delivered a simple but devastating uppercut, sending Jesse into the ceiling.
*SPLAAAAAT*
As soon as Jesse's head collided with the ceiling, her body squished together. Mass first shifting to briefly make her a flat circle of red hair above watermelon sized boobs stretching her white shirt, and bean bag chair butt cheeks overflowing her black pants, with her feet as the only part of her legs escaping the transformation.
*SHLRRRRRRRP*
Jesse peeled off the ceiling, tumbling to the floor, where *SPLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT* Jesse finished turning into a huge but-one-inch thick pancake on the floor, butt facing up.
Jess clapped. "Tails I win the toss!" She reached down and grabbed Jesse's feet and pulled, stretching her chewing-gum like body, features extremely smeared with uneven red eyes, up to normal height before *POP* snapping Jesse back to normal.
Jesse was stumbling in place, but already angrily staring at Jess. So when Jess started talking, Jesse was not in the mood to let her finish.
"Alright 'Heroes'. You know you can't beat me, but if you want to get your picture perfect friends back, you can-WHOA!"
*SLAM*
*SQUIIIIIIISH*
Jesse, visibly enraged, grabbed Jess by the leg and slammed her over her head like a rag doll, flattening the purple haired woman to the ground except for the leg she was holding. Jess looked as if painted onto the floor, with a bemused expression.
*SHLRRRRRRP*
*SLAM*
*SPLAAAAT*
Jesse immediately used that leg to peel Jess off the ground and deliver a second overhead slam. This time Jess's body looked more like someone dropped paint buckets approximating her shape onto the floor than a painting of a beautiful woman.
*SLAM*
*SPLOOOOOOSH*
*SLAM*
*SPLAAAAAAAASH*
*SLAM*
"Oooooooo..."
Jesse's rage was intense. She kept swinging Jess's leg, splattering Jess's gooey body into more and more of a mess. Eventually Jess's leg lost cohesion, splattering into inky denim-blue paint and splashing onto the rest of what was left of her.
Her job finished, Jesse shook droplets of Jess off her hands before dusting them off. "Well, now that she's a useless puddle, let's finish with the big boss and-"
*GLOOP*
*GRIP*
Something grabbed her ankle mid step. She looked down, at a long brown arm reaching out of Jess's puddle. To her dismay, the purples within swirled together into Jess's hair, and her head emerged under it.
"Thanks for the warm up, but we're just getting started."
Jesse was stunned. She blinked once. "What the fu-AAACK!"
*SLAM*
*SPLAT*
*SQUISH*
Jess didn't bother restoring before throwing Jesse around like a rag doll. Swinging her by the legs back and forth, flattening her on the ground and peeling her off to do it again. Jess cackled as she did, slowly de-gooping her body with each swing. Jesse quickly lost definition with each splat, until she was a red and white wad of chewing gum in Jess's hands.
Her three team mates watched, wincing with each splat out of respect, eventually reacting with an "ooooo...
Ally winced, "That's gotta hurt-"
Grace tried to sound optimistic. "That looked..."
"Like fun!" Scarlett finished the thought, the only one suddenly looking excited.
*SQUISH*SQUASH*
Grace and Ally glared at Scarlett, who raised her arms defensively, while Jess had her way with Jesse.
Jess held Jesse up in one hand, her battered body in fact looking like a limp, dripping puddle of Jesse noodles. Jess slammed what remained of Jesse's legs into her, making her butt swell to massive proportions. She did the same with her arms, inflating her chest, and making Jesse round again. Some more squishing around and treating Jesse like a red haired ball of dough, and Jess slammed her new bean bag chair to the ground with a loud, wet SPLAT.
Jesse had an enraged look on her face, but all she could do in her new form was wobble and jiggle in place, like a giant pile of jello.
Jess dusted off her hands. "That was too easy. I guess I should have expected that from a rookie." She hopped onto beanbag-Jesse to lounge on her new chair, making a rubbery squelch sound as she did. "Who's next?"
*CLANG*
"You think you're so tough splattering the newbie? Just try that stunt on me ya damn whippersnapper!"
Jess's gaze turned to Allison Ables, slamming the shaft of her giant metal against the industrial floor. She shifted her legs without getting up from her Jesse chair. "Whippersnapper? Really? That's all you got Inventor?"
Ally picked up her hammer and widened her stance to attack. "Come at me. Whatever fate has in store for me, I have to try and squish you back tenfold."
"So be it." Jess got up from Jesse by slapping both hands on her blob of a body. Each smacked either Jesse's massive inflated assets with a loud *SLAP*, making her bean bag form jiggle furiously.
Jess finished taking her stance and held out her hand like a martial arts master, beckoning Ally. "Don't disappoint me."
Ally charged straight in, not wasting any movement. She lept, swinging her hammer overhead in a huge smash.
Jess watched her and smiled, licking her lips.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"
*SLAM*
*SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH*
Jess was utterly obliterated under the hammer, purple hair and green shirt once again squishing far and wide to the sides. Her green shirt was smooshed up around the sides of the mallet, tongue rolled out on her flattened body. Her legs were flattened into a full split under that, leaving a ten foot wide one inch thick pancake of a fighter under Ally's-
"Come on get up already."
When Ally lifted her hammer, she had just a second to look at Jess's distorted flattened face before she sprung back into shape, bobbing up and down like a human gummy. "Ouch! I think you pinched a nerve on my left side, can you aim a little more to the rIIIIIII-"
*SLAM*
*SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
*RATTLE*RATTLE*
Ally swung faster, not letting any of Jess escape to the sides. Ally pulled back to swing again, letting Jess rattle around on the floor as a squished 3 foot coin on the ground. Jess's shocked face stared up at Allis-
"Get up the whole TF multiverse knows you're not done yet."
Jess's face turned to a frown. Her arm peeled off the side and yanked on her face, uncrumpling her back into human shape. "Oh you're no fun."
Ally rolled her eyes, winding up to swing again. "You'll find I'm delightful!"
*SLAM*
*SPLOOOOOOOOOSH*
Jess compressed like a water balloon, mass trying to squeeze out the sides, before exploding into a giant puddle of green and purple goop.
Ally for once seemed pleased with the result, pausing long enough to flip her hair with her off hand. "Whoops, someone's looking a little worse for wear. Maybe my next swing can win this after all!"
Ally raised her weapon over her head, anticipating Jess restoring herself yet again.
Jess's puddle of paint did swirl together back into a feminine form, grinning.
Before Ally could swing, Jess pushed the hammer further back. The weight threw Ally off balance, dragging the hammer and her arms backwards like long limp noodles.
Ally didn't let go, but tried to charge back forward, her arms useless but stubbornly trying to lift the hammer. "Grrrr, don't think I'm through with you yet!"
Jess smiled, and put a hand on Allison's head.
*SQUIIIIIIIISH*
With minimal effort, Ally was crunched down to half her height. Jess pressed with her palm squishing Ally shorter and wider, extra mass giving her ridiculously large boobs and a huge butt to go with it. She straightened her newer thicker legs, pushing back against Jess and making her enlarged curves quiver. "Hey! No fair!"
Jess rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, you know you like it." Then she yanked on Ally's arm, making them snap back into her shoulders like old window shades, and bringing the hammer for Jess to snatch out of the air.
She admired the hammer so much, she didn't notice the restoration beam clattering out of her pocket in the general direction of Jesse.
Ally sighed, letting her legs get scrunched down even more. "Yeeeah...I guess I do-UUURK!"
*SMASH*
*SQUIIIIIIIIIIIISH*
Jess calmly brought the hammer on what remained of Allison's doughy body, squashing her into a big round pancake with edges squished up slightly higher than the rest around the hammer head. Her red eyes were visibly between the edges of her squished breasts, with her short white shorts hanging on for dear life around her squashed butt.
Jess smiled and looked down. "Oh dear, what are we going to do with the Flatmate."
"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiya!"
Jess barely sidestepped Grace flying through. Her kick missed, making Grace follow up with a flurry of moves. Jess was no slouch though, matching Grace with blocks that parried her punches and evaded kicks with ease.
After a minute, Grace was looking visibly tired, breathing heavily. "Damn, I didn't know you were that good."
Jess raised an eyebrow. "Grace? Have you ever taken a martial arts class?"
Grace was still panting. "I...uh...saw a few movies with Emi last weekend?"
Jess dropped her fighting stance. "Ah. That explains why you're so easy."
Grace blinked. "Hey! Phrasing!"
While Grace complained, Jess jumped in and thrust her arm forward. Grace could swear she saw sharp claws at the end of Jess's hand before it stabbed into her belly.
*POP*
Grace straightened up at the familiar sensation inside her. She knew as soon as Jess pulled back..."
*HIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*
Grace started deflating. Air rushed out of her, sending shivers of joy through her. Her face was blushing beat red even as Jess lifted her half empty body off the ground like the empty balloon she was.
"Sorry Grace, but given your love of baking, Zoe had special plans for you."
The baker's eyes barely looked up, sounding super groggy as the air left her. "Oh? Do tell."
*SQUISH*
Jess crumpled Grace up into a ball like yesterday's laundry. Once Jess had a basketball sized Grace in her hands, she pulled out an oversized flour sifter. She squished Grace into it, held her over Ally's pancake on the floor, and started shaking it.
"I'm going to bake a cake!"
"Wha? How are you-Oooo! That feels niiiiice"
*KSSSSSSSSSSSSH*
As Jess shook, bits of Grace colored dust fell out. The cloud of Grace falling through resembled a puff of flour, until clumps of her were raining down. Jess squished and kneaded the doughy ball of Grace, pushing more of her through until all of her was reduced to a pile of powdery baking ingredients.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa gooooood niiiiiiiiiight..."
Grace continued cooing until she fell apart, leaving her two blinking eyes on top of the pile of red cake mix inside the Ally pan.
Jess looked down on her work and smiled. "Zoe was right, cooking is relaxing. Now I just need the wet ingredients."
She looked up at Scarlett. The melty one was doing her best to stay solid, having just watched her friends get squished in a myriad of ways. Jess could tell she was already sweating tiny droplets of herself.
Scarlett tried to steady herself. She reached down her shirt, moved her hand around to some loud metal clanging sounds, like a pile of trash falling over. She eventually pulled out a large hammer, spiked like a meat tenderizer.
"I'm warning you Jess, you won't like it when I-"
"Melt."
As if it were a command, Scarlett actually did melt at the mention of the word, splashing for the floor in waves of blue and red goop.
Jess blinked, looking surprised. "Wow, I didn't think that would actually work!"
Jess shrugged and pulled an oversized dropper out of her cleavage.
While she started gathering up Scarlett, Jesse eyed Ally's restoration beam in front of her. Despite being reduced to an oversized beanbag chair, she knew this was her chance. *If only...I could...fix this...stupid...body!"
*POP*
*CRAAAAAACK*
Jess knealed and bent Ally's sides up into a proper cake pan shape. The metallic screech of her body masked the sound of Jesse's limbs popping free from her body, leaving her in a hilarious shape - an overinflated blob of toon with two arms.
"Whoa whoa whoa!!!"
*SPLOOOOSH*
Jesse waved her arms to stay balanced, but rolled to the side where her arms once held her up. Fortunately, this put her right next to Ally's ray gun.
Elsewhere, Jess was pouring Scarlett into the cake pan with Grace cake mix. She mixed them together into a thick red batter, licking her lips. "Oh my you two mix together nicely. Nice and goopey. I almost want to lick the whisk!"
Jesse grabbed the restoration beam, but paused to see what Jess was up to. *I need the right opening...*
*GLOOP*
Jess was holding the cake pan, Ally's eyes still barely visible above her flattened chest were looking up. Two red slime girls rose out of the batter from the waist up, their tails twirling around one another. Obviously, they resembled Grace and Scarlett.
"You sure that was a good idea Jess?"
"You know we work well together."
Jess grinned at the cinnamon sugar mix before her. "Mix until smooth then bake at 1000 degrees."
Both puddles gasped, "What?!"
*FWOOOOOOSH*
*ZAP*
Jesse was so surprised by the purple flames spewing from Jess's mouth that she accidentally zapped herself. Feeling her mass flow around and squish her body back into shape felt weird, but she was glad to be in one piece.
It also gave her a better view of what Jess was up to with ... whatever form her allies were in now. Apparently that was "on fire."
Jesse could see all of her friends' eyes clearly through the flames. Ally's were stuck in place, but Scarlett and Grace's eyes were melting with their back into the pan.
Jesse knew Jessica's attention was on baking. Rage flowed through her, and she didn't waste another second. Jessica was saying something to the cake, but Jesse was too angry to listen or care. She ran at the firebreather, subconsciously wondering how that was even possible (*another question to wonder about later...*), relishing the surprise on Jessica's face when she landed in front of her.
"DROP THE CAKE YOU UNSQUISHABLE FREAK!"
"What?!
*PUNCH*
"Uuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh..."
Jesse, surrounded by her aura of flames, planted her fist in Jessica's midsection. Her body stretched backwards with Jesse's fist embedded in it. She dropped the cake, then went flying clear across the room, 50 feet through the villain's lair until flattening against the back wall. The force still stretched her out far and wide, flattening against the wall too fast for her body to adjust.
*CRRRRRRK*
*CHRASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
She squished into a purple wad of chewing gum, then exploded apart. Thousands of purple chips that used to be Jesse scattered to every corner of the room. Half of them looked like purple video game coins with Jessica's face minted on one side, the rest vaguely resembled something closer to giant reptile scales.
The immediate threat gone, Jesse's fiery rage subsided. She caught one of the Jessica coins, rolled her eye's at the woman's picture that looked like she was enjoying it, and tossed it aside shaking her head. Then she looked to her friends to see what the flames did to them. "You three okay?"
On the ground was a colorful cake, resembling a blue and a red clad woman squished into a rectangular yin-yang pattern. Scarlett and Grace looked up from it, eyes pleading for assistance. They were surrounded by scattered dark red ashes of Ally, who clearly got the worst of the flames.
Jesse was surprised the ashes spoke first. "Nice punch! Could we get a little help!"
Jesse blinked, realizing she was still holding the restoration beam. "Oh! Right."
*ZAP*
Ally dust swirled into a tiny whirlwind, then snapped back into shape on the ground. She picked up the Grace and Scarlett cake before Jesse could zap it, offering it for dessert. " Want some? I've gotta admit, they do look kinda cute like this."
Jesse took it, though her grip on the bottom made the caked couple more nervous than anything else. "Maybe never. Where was the boss lady. I need to have words with her."
"Right over here. Took you long enough to take down my top henchwoman."
Jesse spun around and instinctively threw the cake at Zoe.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
*SPLAT*
Zoe stood there in her ridiculously skimpy villain outfit, covered with Scarlett and Grace's sticky blue and red remains. She briefly looked annoyed, then noticed a quivering chunk of the Gracelett cake nestled in her boobs. She grabbed it, chomped it down, then licked them off her face. "Hmm...It's a little dry, even if it's super sweet. Jess ALWAYS overcooks her food. I keep telling her there's a difference between dessert and steak."
"YAAAAAAAAAH!"
Zoe shook her head at Jesse's enraged assault. She brushed the rest of Scarlett and Grace, ignoring their muffled voices complaining, then took a fighting stance and a slow deep breath.
Jesse swung high, and Zoe squished herself down to a thick squishy foot of height.
Jess swung low, and Zoe snapped back up like a window shade, spinning in the air about the size of a basketball, until resuming her normal form when Jesse pulled back.
"STOP DODGING ME AND FIGHT!"
Jesse punched straight at Zoe, and Zoe grabbed her stomach with both hands and pulled herself open like an inner tube.
Jesse stomped a foot, utterly frustrated. "How are you?!"
Zoe somehow splatted against the ground and snapped back into shape behind Jesse, leaning on her shoulder. "I know this like is cliche, but you need to be more..."
Jesse spun to punch at Zoe again, but this time Zoe grabbed it. She pulled and stretched the arm, then Jesse's other arm, and within a second Jesse was a spinning blur of motion with Zoe calmly tying knots just outside it.
Jesse was a bouncing ball with a very angry face in front of her. Instead of a smooth texture like she had earlier, Jesse looked more like a rubber band ball wrapped up inside her own stretchy limbs.
"Flexible."
Ally smacked her forehead. "Really?! Some authors..."
Zoe laughed and turned her attention to the inventor. "Really Ally? Talking to some unseen audience again? What do you plan to do here anyway, you know you can't stop me."
Ally scoffed and pointed behind Zoe. "Oh, I'm not worried about that. I know they can."
Zoe followed Allison's point to where Scarlett and Grace's scattered cake was. The cake was gelling itself back together, growing into an insanely sexy woman. Besides Scarlett's shoes and Grace's hair, there was a small piece of cake on the Grace Scarlett fusion's shirt. Naturally their assets were easily thrice either one's normal size.
They winked at Zoe. "Come on now. I think we all know how this ends. Don't make us go further in front of the rookie."
Zoe blinked. Heat lines were coming off her head and she was clearly sweating. She tugged at one of the straps going across her chest, and a huge blast of steam came out. "You can't...I mean...you...what would you do?"
The Grace and Scarlett fusion stretched her arms into the air, arching her back to show off her fused form. "I think know what we won't do if you don't give up right now."
"You wouldn't..." Zoe started sweating tiny beads of herself to the floor, slowly forming a massive puddle of tan and black goop.
*SPLOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
Zoe quickly fell apart. Her legs collapsed into gooey puddles, slamming her butt to the ground, after that she spread in layers of melting flesh, arms and breasts sliding down and mixing with the rest of her. Zoe moaned with pleasure when the last of her body flowed away, bubbling little black heart bubbles over her head.
Ally nodded and walked up to Jesse. "And that's the end of that. Thanks for the assist!"
She found Jesse's hand and held it while slamming Jesse to the floor. She bounced once, then became a small whirlwind above the ground for a few seconds, before landing on her butt in her normal shape.
Jesse rubbed her hip. "Ack. Sorry she got me again. But wait, where's Joy?!"
Jesse grabbed the restoration beam out of Ally's hand and rushed over to the row of portraits on the wall. She found her daughter amongst them, carefully taking it down to the floor, and zapped her.
The Abstract painting moved in fits and starts like a jittery video. Joy slowly regained a normal looking shape as a painting before eventually growing off the page. She had to push against the floor to squeeze her huge butt out of the frame, but eventually...
*POP*
"Wooo! Way to go Anna! That worked great and-...wait, mom?"
Jesse blinked. "Anna? Who were you expecting? And why are you so calm, how long were you trapped here by that monster?"
The wheels in Jesse's head were turning. Something was weird here. "And why are the rest of you just standing there? Shouldn't we be grabbing our families and getting out of here? Why are you all so calm?! And why hasn't anyone bottled up that bitch yet?!"
She looked to the Scarlett and Grace fusion. They were clearly stifling laughs, even as they split apart like cells.
Ally looked up thoughtfully for a moment, before looking at Grace and Scarlett. "Wait a minute...Oh my God did nobody tell her?!"
Jesse blinked. "Tell me what? Don't do this to me Ally, you were the sane one!"
Zoe bubbled up, black goop growing above her puddle into a genie with a gooey tail. She was suddenly back in her normal outfit too. "GRACE! Did you drag Jesse into this without telling her this was just a Red Head game night?"
Grace and Scarlett smiled like school girls that pulled off the perfect prank. "I tried! She didn't let me finish! I wasn't expecting Joy in the photo when I opened the invitation."
Joy put her hand on her mom's shoulder. "Yeah mom. This...uh...well it was game night and we thought it'd be neat if Anna tried to rescue me and-"
"Just...a...I went through all that for..."
It was too much for Jesse to process. "All that squishing and melting and disintegrating...for fun?" Cracks ran through her body as much as her psyche. "How...what...you people just..." Within moments she shattered, falling into a pile of Jesse shards.
They rattled as she managed to speak. "I...need...a drink."
Zoe and Grace started laughing, soon followed by the rest. Grace eventually said "Okay, Let's go to the Bucket Seat! The first round's on me, Jesse's choice as the rookie."
"Wooooo!!!"
They finished restoring the other girls, all of whom high fived the group. Ally let Phoebe catch up with Grace and came back to sweep up Jesse into a bucket.
"Sorry about that. We do this at least once a month. Sometimes we squish them, sometimes they squish us. Did you at least have some fun? I had a blast with you."
Jesse's eyes moved on disparate shards. "You're all crazy. But if I do this again I get to smash her, right?"
Ally nodded. "They surprisingly count on it. Now hold still, this might feel funny, but if I don't make you do this on your own..."
Before Jesse could blink, Ally put a lid on the bucket full of her pieces. "What is whaaaaaaaa!"
*CRUNCH*
*SHAKE*
Ally shook up the jar in a blue of motion, then casually turned it upside down as one might pour a glass of water. Jesse's liquefied red and white body spilled out, but snapped back into a human shape on instinct.
Jesse stumbled around surrounded by tiny red birds. "Ugh...what just happened?"
Ally grinned and gave her a slap on the back. "I knew you could do it. Now get over here so we can do the thing."
Jesse rattled her head to chase the birds away. "The thing? What?"
Ally ran over to Grace and Scarlett, standing around with room for Jesse to join them. "We've gotta do the thing, come."
Jesse frowned. "That dumb pose thing again?"
Grace smiled. "Yeah but it's cool!"
Scarlett beckoned her over. "Just get over here so we can go get dinner."
Jesse walked over and Ally put up her hand with the others. "Red Heads For...?"
Jesse added her hand to the others, rolling her eyes. "For life."
*BOOOOOM*
Like earlier, a colorful explosion appeared over their heads. Unlike earlier, this one's fire was quite real. When the smoke cleared, all 4 were blackened by soot.
Jess blinked, her eyes angrier than the others. "I swear as soon as I put myself back together..."
They all crumbled into crimson piles of ash, blinking until their friends gathered them for the after party.
