Starting Over, by DragonMasterX.

Machinery hummed to life. Heavy fluorescent lights turned on in the laboratory. A single computer display began to stream BIOS data throughout its booting process. In three seconds, the large screen turned black without the monitor turning off. Green letters started appearing on it.

The facility's lighting significantly dimmed from one moment to the next. Redundant systems were cut and others were suddenly activated in their place. Across the main computer, five capsules rose from the metallic floor. They were silvery pods whose decompression sounded off with concomitant clouds of vapor. Only one of the four had defogged in a way its crystal window became visible, although only a visually undistinguishable silhouette was floating within. The computer screen glowed brightly before streaming data again.

The word [UNVIABLE] was flashing red. Four of the five pods descended into the floor, marked for disposal by the cybernetic observer. Immediately, a warning label manifested in the log.

A cable shot down from the ceiling, curling half-way down before attaching itself to A-05's pod. A quiet pumping sound accompanied a small bulge traveling down the tube. Immediately after injection, the tube detached and flopped to the side with a wet bloop.

> THIS UNIT IS UNABLE TO CARRY OUT ITS INTENDED PROGRAMMING

The pod began to recede into the ground. The word [RELEASE] flashed blue on the screen. The facility's different systems started powering down one by one.

And with a fading hum, the laboratory finally went dark once more. This time for good.

A-05's eyes opened for the first time, wide as saucers. They felt numb all over, like waking up from deep slumber. It was hard to breathe at first. All they could hear was the breezy outdoors. Their nose picked up stale air. They could not recognize where they were.

Joints crackled as the sluggish muscles of their four legs finally pushed them off the cold, dirty ground. Paws quickly found purchase and the creature managed to stand. Raising their right forepaw to examine it, they noted sky-blue fur covering limbs and followed them up and back, turning around in circles to check themselves out. They saw a long tail and confirmed the sky-blue fur covered the rest of their body with numerous pastel-green stripes horizontally slicing across that coat.

Suddenly, the word "tiger" rang out in their head, causing the quadruped to flinch and fold their ears back. "Tiger..." she repeated aloud, ears wiggling to the sound of her feminine voice. "I'm a tiger." A-05 repeated, unsure of herself and how convinced she was about the meaning of the word. She turned around in a full circle again to check herself out, only this time she stopped when she felt her tail snag onto something.

A small object rolled away from her, prompting A-05 to follow it until it stopped. However, her attention immediately shifted when she saw it bump into a gargantuan obstruction. A wall extending as far as she could see on either side stood in her way, looming over the tigress at over a hundred feet tall. She couldn't help letting out a gasp.

The wall's sterile white clashed with the otherwise dark brown ground she was standing on. A-05 found herself sitting down on her haunches, her tail swishing with curiosity. "What is that place?" she asked herself, though no acceptable answer other than "Looks important." Came to her head. It was during the movement of her tail that she noticed the original reason she had become startled was still there.

A piece of fabric hung from the tip of her dexterous appendage. A-05 lowered her tail and held the white band in front of her green eyes, scanning it with pause. It had been wrapping the object she had chased into the wall. She recognized every letter written on the white band, and read it aloud:

"Happy Birthday Ashi." The tigress paused as that name echoed in her head much like the word tiger had earlier. "Ashi... is that my name? Ugh, why is it so hard to remember so many things?"

Ashi pawed at her face in frustration, then pawed the fabric wrap off her tail. Lowering her head, she took a sniff off the round object resting by the wall. A sweet, savory scent hit her senses. It was food. A fruit. She remembered those. But she wasn't hungry. Ashi still had many questions.

The tigress turned around to look away from the metal wall. Following the fissured ground, she noticed cracks everywhere she carefully set her paws down on. The floor had become victim of prolonged erosion. After walking a few paces, she lifted her vision and saw a forest ahead. Only the none of the trees had any leaves on them.

"It must be winter..." Ashi determined, even though her fur seemed to be keeping her warm. One glance skyward showed her absolutely clear skies, and in spite of it feeling like midday, lighting was very dim outdoors. She could see the high-noon sun high above, yet the radiance she recalled was missing. Instead of white-hot, the star in the distance was a stale-looking orange verging on brownish; like a light bulb on its last blinks. "Or is it...?" she tried to correct herself about her seasonal assessment, but she was unsure.

Ashi warily pressed on into the dead woods in search of answers. The tigress explored her surroundings, but only found empty ponds where water used to be. She could see thick roots from the not-so-lively trees bulging out around the eroded dirt. It was almost like a heat wave had burnt off everything in the forest except the tree trunks and their branches. Perhaps the most ironically disquieting quality of the dead woods was in fact its eerie silence.

"Where is everyone? I don't see other animals... am I alone?" Ashi asked herself with a concerned frown. The forest of dead trees was so unsettling she couldn't take it for much longer, so she decided to leave. However, when she turned around she discovered she had wandered around so much she couldn't see the exit anymore. The mass of trees, leaves or no leaves, was making it hard to get a good look at anything else.

Her first instinct was to gain altitude, so she sought the tallest tree she could find and climbed its trunk using feline agility. Ashi rested both forepaws on the thickest branch at the crown of the tree and stretched herself as high as she could. From there, she surveyed her surroundings: To one direction lay mountain ranges, to another a series of odd-looking constructions seemed to vanish into the horizon with the rest being little more than empty wasteland. Finally, when turning around, Ashi was able to find the unmistakable sight of that white wall. Except it was not merely a wall now.

When observed from that far away, Ashi could finally recognize a non-descript facility in the middle of nowhere; she had simply woken up next to one of its many walls. "Did I come from there...?" Ashi's questions started popping up one after another in her brain. "Did I live there? Did I get kicked out? Someone was wishing me a Happy Birthday. Was it a friend? Did I have many friends...?" she paused, lowering her ears. "Do I have any friends...?"

Sitting at the branch, Ashi hugged her tail around her ankles and sighed. She had hoped her excursion would lead her to other creatures, any being at all she could communicate with. Ashi was dying for conversation, any kind of verbal socializing. A hug would have done nicely. But only the soft whisper of that chilly breeze spoke to her: "There is nobody else here." It cruelly evoked. And only the creaking dead tree branches eerily waved at her from all directions, as if offering her their somber and forever silent companionship.

All of a sudden, the realization she had spent hours without seeing another soul came to a head. This decayed and stale, purgatory-like world held no intelligent life and she was its only inhabitant so far. A constant foreboding thought tugged at her heartstrings in a cruel manner. Ashi was convinced that no matter where she looked or how far she ventured out, she would find nobody else. She didn't want to speak the words, but they came out in a sob: "I'm all alone."

Depression took a backseat when her stomach began to emit soft rumbling, finally begging Ashi for sustenance. "Ugh... what am I going to eat? There's nothing for miles..." she paused, eyes focused on the white facility. It occurred to her that in her hurry she had left behind that round fruit earlier.

"Now that I know how to get back, at least I won't immediately starve. But... what's going on? What happened to this place?" Ashi insisted out loud, anxious not only because of the feeling of isolation swirling in her stomach, but the saddening horizons of that seemingly empty world. "I didn't check that place for any entrance. Maybe I can find a way in..." she proposed to herself.

With a bit of hope restored, Ashi hopped off the tree and stuck the landing with grace. She wasn't in the mood to celebrate her great feline ability though. Now that she knew the way back, she started making her way through the dead woods without fear. And yet Ashi could not deny the growing anxiety inside of her, her heart beating faster as she approached her destination.

---

Unfortunately for the lone tigress, she could find no entrance to the white facility upon arriving. She circled the vast complex twice and raised her voice no less than a dozen times from different angles, getting not a peep in response. Against her better judgment she tried scaling the smooth walls to the top, but less than halfway up friction slowly and frustratingly dragged her back down.

Solemnly, Ashi sat before the imposing alabaster structure, finding herself strangely attracted to the idea of getting in. "There really is no way in. I can't jump that high. These walls are unclimbable..." As she enumerated, her tail gently swept the fissured ground below her. Ashi's stomach reminded her of its needs with another growl that made her look at the fruit from earlier. "So hungry..." the quadruped finally admitted to herself, striding over to the wall.

Plump and succulent looking, the fruit invited Ashi to take another sniff at its fragrant skin. Her taste buds could almost taste the sugary syrup its scent evoked already, prompting her tongue into licking her chops. Thoughts of her quest for answer were shoved away in favor of her hunger pangs. Ashi made her mouth wait no longer and dipped her head down, sinking her fangs into the surprisingly firm skin of the berry.

It didn't take much pressure for Ashi's teeth to puncture the fruit. Her eyes widened and her pupils dilated as juice began to flow into her mouth in what felt like a deluge of savory taste. Just as she had briefly fantasized with, the inside of her cheeks were tickled by that sugary deposit. The first gulp of juice was heavenly. With hunger at the forefront of her mind she hadn't stopped to consider that she too felt a thirst this delicious treat had awakened. And so with healthy bites she partook of the sole bounty, ingesting the skin, its body and its juice in its entirety until no trace of that succulent berry had been left.

Ashi repeatedly smacked her lips in an attempt to savor the fruit's aftertaste, eyes closing as she concentrated on the delightful feeling of the inside of her mouth tingling. But soon, Ashi was following that tingling all the way down to her stomach where it began to spread to the rest of her body.

At first, she did little more than sit perfectly still. Her poise remained unshaken even when her body had begun vibrating all around. The green stripes cutting through her fur began to light up as a swelling sensation took over. The quadruped began to purr, so lost in that new sensation that she couldn't even think straight. Something was changing inside of her, a rush of energy welling out from within. And all of that from having ingested one fruit. Only the insisting thought of having another remained in Ashi's otherwise fogged-up mind. She felt so relaxed all of a sudden.

The tigress found herself stretching her tingling limbs, starting with her hind legs, and let out a mouthy yawn as she arched up. Ashi then pressed her haunches down again as she leaned down, rump hiked up and tail waving in windshield wiper motions. Supporting the weight of the front of her body with front paws, Ashi was able to get a good look at the way her stripes were glowing, their intensity increasing by the second. In mere seconds she was almost like a living glow stick.

"Mmnnaaaah..." gasped the tigress, tongue hanging out, "I feel so warm all of a sudden. Sooo... gooooood!" The warmth was localizing at the tip of her claws. It started with a series of hollow pops. She felt stubby digits elongate and thin out, black claws retracting into sharp though smaller nails. Morphing tiger claws were changing shape into five fingered mitts with an opposing thumb on each. Ashi couldn't believe her eyes, grasping the dirt against her palms with all ten of her new fingers as if to convince herself this was happening to her. Just as her new hands started cooling off though, Ashi felt the heat surging through her front legs. Limbs palpitated and Ashi heard that hollow crackling once again. Bones shifted, making her whimper in confusion as the structure of her front legs changed into one resembling arms, complete with elbows and the swivel they facilitated. She was suddenly pressing down against the ground and supporting her top half with her new arms and hands.

"What's happening to me?!" Ashi asked aloud in spite of being the only one in that desolate landscape. Her only answer was more warmth spreading up to her shifting, widening shoulders, and then higher still to her elongating neck. Animalistic facial features lost their feral-like definitions as her head warmed up. Ashi's eyes twitched alongside her shifting jawline, her expression softening, her cheekbones lifting, her nose shrinking into a little button crowning her feline snout. Finally, the fur at the top of her head began to rustle as indigo strands of silky hair started growing out in great number.

The strands bundled up into locks of hair which began to take up the space between Ashi's ears, growing out longer and longer until they were cascading behind her head, and eventually flowing downwards stopping only at the small of her back. When her face became covered in that indigo mane, Ashi grew even more concerned. She wildly began to shake her head, scattering her bangs about until they poofed up above her forehead, the rest bundling behind her ears and framing her new face.

While it was easy to tell she was still a tiger, Ashi's countenance was decidedly less animal-like now, featuring the ability of facial expression which she immediately used to grimace and frown rather effusively. "What was that?! Somehow my face feels even softer..." she stopped, blinking her eyes in surprise. Without thinking she had brought her new hands to feel her cheeks and hair, surprised with her dominion over her new features. "And these hands...? They feel strange yet kind of familiar!" she palmed her cheeks repeatedly before pulling her hands away from her face, giving the white-ish blue fur under her mitts a puzzled look while curling her dirt-covered fingers experimentally.

Before she could even get started with inspecting her wild and voluminous mane of hair though, Ashi felt the warm sensation work its way down, knocking her back with her barely managing to balance herself on her rump and upended rear legs. With the widening of her shoulders and relocation of her arm joints, she now had plenty of room in her upper body. The free space started growing heavier and heavier up top as lumps of flesh started to form under her chest fur. Two mounds grew larger, sagging forth before filling out into considerably soft and squishy spherical shapes. Ashi had breasts now, and their rapidly increasing heft made Ashi's cheeks flush with red color, turning her face a dark shade of purple.

So paralyzed by those unexpectedly pleasurable changes was the morphing tigress that she couldn't bring her grounded hands up to feel the growing sensation in her chest. Ashi was panting. Her chest was becoming so wide! And in direct contrast, her middle was shrinking instead, clinching into a stylized waist leading out into a flaring pelvic region. With her widening hips, gluts started inflating much like those heaving bosoms at her chest. Ashi couldn't help allowing herself a little wiggle of the hips, convincing herself of the increasing mass of her behind. But before she could utter a word about her fattening ass, she felt her hind leg begin morphing.

While the digitigrade configuration of Ashi's feet wasn't lost, claws shrank into sharp black nails much like on the digits of her hands. Bones shifted once more, making her legs go from straight pillars into bending appendages with defined thighs clearly separated from lower legs by their knees. Ashi reflexively bent her legs when her sitting posture began to hurt and found that her enlarged bottom was actually more comfortable to sit on than her old haunches. She didn't know if to smile or grimace again at the direction this strange transformation had taken. She was still a tigress, but she was unlike any tigress in her memory!

"And yet..." Ashi brought her hands up to look at them once more. Her body had finally started cooling down, permitting her a moment to collect her thoughts about her sinuous new figure. She took note of her green stripes' glow dying off at the same time as she was checking out her toned musculature. "Why is it that I feel so at home in this new body?" her backhand batted one of her bangs away as the breeze moved it, almost as if it was second nature to her already. "It feels like this is how things were meant to be! Was it the fruit that caused all of..." she paused, looking down at the roughly melon-sized boobs sticking out of her chest, "...this...?"

Although Ashi was still attempting to gain insight into her sudden change, she didn't get further than planting her toes on the ground for the next change to hit her like a wall of bricks. Ashi felt her entire body throb like a beating heart. A harsh gulp was followed by a breathless gasp. An electrical jolt ran up her spine, making her stand up straight. Stripes lit up once again and she hissed in delight as a different, tingling sensation began to spread out from her gut all over again. This time, Ashi could sense it was affecting her entire body all at once.

A powerful rumble masked the noises of crackling bone and creaking flesh. Ashi felt her feet dragging on the eroded ground beneath her as they expanded with the rest of her. She was gaining height at the rate of a couple of inches every few seconds. The extra size came in short-lived, throbbing spasms followed by steady inflation.

At first, Ashi just stood there in disbelief. Ground fissures and how increasingly farther away from her they seemed was the only point of comparison she had to be able to tell how large she was getting. All she could tell by the way her dragging feet felt the cracks along the ground was that it was happening fast.

Turning around and skipping a few paces away from the facility, Ashi shot a glance at the dead woods. The trees closest to her were easily visible and that made it even easier to tell how big she was getting. Whereas as a standing quadruped she would have needed to stretch her paws to reach the top of the average tree trunks, as a biped she was already eye-level with their highest branches.

And though Ashi already was speechless at the fast-paced process her body was going through she just as quickly found it wasn't only her height that was changing. Her overall bulk was starting to increase as well, most notably her curves and muscles, rapidly altering her build.

It started with her arms, which she felt grow heavy for a few moments as her biceps and triceps started to surge with power. Her shoulders widened to accommodate her larger arms, fingers growing a little meatier alongside her forearms, keeping everything in proportion as her muscles gained mass. She gasped when she felt her chest stretch out wider, pectoral beef pushing out. Muscles grew along her torso, oblique and abdominal mounds becoming defined and packed. Meanwhile, as her pecs inflated they pushed her new breasts out.

Those blue furred mammaries were also growing with her muscles, making her figure top-heavier. As if to balance it out however, her buttocks started inflating again, further escalating their toned roundness into thick spherical shapes for a bubbly-looking, muscle-packed posterior.

As she rose above the trees, Ashi's legs gained additional bulk as well. Quadriceps bulged out alongside her hamstrings, her thighs bulging with additional meat to add to her curves. Calves went from smooth to notable, her feet thickening a little to compensate for the larger set of beautifully muscled legs.

"I'm growing. I'm getting bigger!" The words remained as thoughts in Ashi's head, for all that came out of her often purring throat were contrastingly weak mewls. She was being overwhelmed by this new sensation. With a hand at her head it was all Ashi could do to not lose her balance as her perspective wildly changed with every passing moment; the ground was in a rush to get away from her.

It was such a strange feeling! Hard for her somewhat overloaded brain to fully process. On the one hand, Ashi could easily tell what she was feeling after each surge of size was a wave of unfiltered bliss. On the other, her light-headedness wasn't getting any better; it felt like her head was going to burst! Simple things like hearing the ground crack under her increasing weight became hard to explain, whereas other once mysterious concepts started suddenly making sense in her head. Such as why it was so dark and cold, and why the sun above her looked dim. Why the ground was so eroded and the trees so lifeless. It was like information was being streamed into her brain the same way size was being injected in that muscular and curvaceous body of her. Her green eyes were shimmering like emeralds all of a sudden.

It took Ashi a great deal of concentration to break away from all that trivia flashing in her mind's eye to finally realize she was losing her balance and was about to plummet chest-first into the dead woods. "Ahh!" she put her hands forth and rammed them down into the ground before she could finish falling. Her arms squished her immense jugs together, each twice the size of her head right at that moment, as she pushed herself up and finally fell backwards, landing on her enormous and plush blue behind.

"Dear me, I must be taller than the biggest tree in the woods already! And I'm sitting down!" Ashi finally exclaimed. She had to scoot backwards so that her feet wouldn't bowl over the woods because of her steady expansion. It was getting hard to see the fissured ground below her and in contrast she could peer over the forest at the mountains in the distance.

It took Ashi little time to take note of the monstrous cleavage hiding a good chunk of her lower body from her. Almost hypnotic jostling prompted the overly endowed feline to bring both of her hands up to the sides of those fluffy orbs to settle them in place. She frowned, "My boobs are even bigger too. And... oh!" Her eyes darted away from the massive bosoms and towards her enlarged biceps, finally starting to take note of her musculature. "My arms! And... and my shoulders!"

Arms bulged impressively with toughened sinew. Ashi's muscles pulsed and beat to the rhythm of her heart. "So strong looking..." the beefy tigress murmured, unable to help balling her hands into fists as she flexed both arms in. Perhaps it was her overloaded senses playing tricks on her, or the manner in which her enlarged curves had become receptive of even the ubiquitous breeze stroking them. But the way the flesh of those biceps engorged felt strangely attractive to her. Initial reservations about her shocking change seemed to be vanishing.

No, Ashi was starting to like this strange new feeling. The ever-present swelling sensation she could derive thanks to the noises of her stretching skin, the vibrations from her mass throbbing and the way her legs and rump slid along the ground. The pleasure of understanding her being was taking up more and more space where before was only invisible air. Alien and mysterious the feeling was, hard to put into exact words to compare it to anything else, yet in essence no different from natural bodily functions such as breathing or blinking; the sensation wasn't abstract, but complementary. With every gulp of air Ashi took, she felt herself swell larger, and every time she blinked her eyes, the forest appeared farther from her view and simultaneously closer to her soles.

Inevitably, her back started riding up along the white metal walls behind her. By the time the blue tigress realized she had met resistance in her attempt to avoid destroying the already miserable forest ahead of her, Ashi's head was peeking above the facility's rooftop. Excitement washed her over and she turned around, mindlessly cratering the ground below her under her knees. Her enormous breasts so far dwarfing her own head in size smothered the walls as she leaned in, curiously running her hands over the cubic structure, as if searching for something.

The indigo haired giantess who had thus far moved beyond the 50ft. tall mark with no sign of stopping found herself smiling as the previously unsurmountable task of scaling the building had become trivial to someone of her size. However, she also only found disappointment when she came to realize the rooftops featured an access far too small for anything other than perhaps the tip of a finger to slip through. "Hello?" she spoke aloud, piling her hopes on somebody, anybody, hanging out at the rooftop access just to address her. "Hello?" she tried again, this time with an anxious frown, her fingers tapping at the edge of the building on her side. She was inadvertently shoving up even more boob mass against the side of that smooth building, the lower lips on her mouth beginning to tremble. "Friends?" she tried, "Anybody...?"

Nothing. Not a word or peep. Not a thing that ever so much as to stimulate Ashi's brain into pretending there was anybody in that dead silent facility.

But Ashi didn't allow herself to break. As her chest naturally crept above the rooftops the white facility became overwhelmed in the softness of her breasts. Another surge of growth which saw her outgrow the building even while kneeling down made her consider this new body of her was widening her horizons; in a literal way as well.

Ashi carefully removed herself from the building, unaware if she had any hopes of actually damaging the sturdy-looking structure, yet uninterested in crushing anything needlessly. The bigger she grew, the more of the world Ashi could see, but also understand. Ground giving under her massive feet made the enlarging feline consider her ever-increasing weight. Knowing how big she was getting, she took a few wobbly steps away, still getting used to her gigantic assets making it difficult to walk around without jiggling about.

She welcomed the distraction of simply engrossing herself in her dwindling surroundings. Although disappointed by her lack of finding other people, the giantess also wished to unravel the mystery of this cold, arid world she had come to. "This place has been devastated. Was it war that reduced it to its current state?" Ashi asked herself, walking towards the buildings in the distance, leaving gargantuan paw prints behind her. Then she turned to the mountains in the opposite direction, "Or was it a natural disaster?" Her eyes slowly rolled up at the ever present if dimmed star in the heavens. "I can somehow feel the sun dying. Slowly, so slowly, yet surely... but I can tell. It's not its time. Then what is taking the star's life even as I walk through this desolate land?"

"Nnngh..." the feline was starting to feel bloated. Questions were piling up again yet Ashi couldn't get to them. Not when that tingling feeling persisted in rooting her in place devoted only to the waking pleasure of expansion. "Aahhhnn..." she began to moan, closing her eyes as she brought her arms in a self-hugging motion. It was hard to resist simply giving up reason and complex thought in favor of allowing herself be cradled by the empowering feeling of becoming more. Investigation could come later; she had to grow some more.

Feeling her arms and legs swell, Ashi squeezed her upper limbs around her titanic breasts, sensing those flare out as well. Her biceps and triceps pushed out, the former almost competing for space with her hefty bosoms now. Her arms further thickened, growing thicker than her own waist with muscles more powerful than ever. To compensate, inflating deltoids pushed out with her shoulders and sternum further putting distance between her arms and burly neck. Ashi gasped out, "Oohhhh, they're getting even bigger...!" feeling her tits swelling to even more monstrous proportions, practically doubling to four times the size of her own head. The mounds spilled above and below her even her newly expanded hugging arms, starting to cover her own face in boob flesh on one side and covering her hardening torso on the other.

Her abs seemed to multiply, having gone from a once flat tummy to decently marked, to full-on six-packs and now working with swelling oblique muscles to leave her utterly and undeniably ripped. Ashi's ass cheeks and thighs exploded with fat and muscle respectively. The bubble at her back grew many times its size, forcing her hips to widen obscenely in their attempt to catch up to that outlandish kitty rump. Lagging behind quads so vast and buff they made her arms look small, the rest of her legs pumped up and thickened as well, her ankles flaring with diamond-shaped calves sure to support all that extra weight.

And throughout the improvement of her beef and cake, the tigress gained more and more height. She stretched so far above the dead woods even the tallest branch hardly came up to the bottom of her ankles, and still she grew.

With a delighted gasp, the satisfied Ashi finally spread her bulky arms out and tested her humongous legs with careful steps, making her best attempt to avoid stepping on the facility as she moved out closer to the mountains. With her eyes wide open, the tigress realized those mountains were starting to look small next to her. "How many hundreds... no, I've got to be getting close to a thousand feet tall!" she would have chastised her own child-like excitement, but Ashi couldn't deny the fact she had become a mountain of curves and muscle and she absolutely adored it. Everywhere she looked, things were small. They were smaller than her. That was what she loved the most about growing. Comparing herself, flexing her insanely powerful body.

And now, with an enhanced vantage point, Ashi was able to cast her gaze out into the masses of strange buildings in the distance and now they did not look as far away from her as they once did. Back in the midst of the dead woods, the idea of exploring such a vast hellscape with no clue as to where to begin had been the main reason Ashi had pulled back with so much depression. Now that she was getting close to dwarfing literal mountains, the colossal feline didn't feel as discouraged from taking a stroll around the neighborhood as it were. Expansion took a great deal of her concentration, but her surroundings interested her as well. "Where was I...?" she began to pant as she allowed herself a small giggle.

Frowning in deep thought, Ashi realized greater understanding only seemed to unearth additional quandaries for her to ponder, however. The lack of life in general could easily be attributed to the weak sun, which also accounted for dead vegetation.

Her mind seemed focused on that star for some reason ever since she had eaten that fruit. As she strode through the dwindling landscape however, she truly got to see the sad state of that expansive wasteland she was outgrowing. On the one hand, the giantess was growing so rapidly she was glad she didn't have many things on this empty world to worry about crushing underfoot, but on the other she couldn't escape the sadness of knowing she was alone. The pleasure of becoming more powerful, more beautiful, and impossibly larger was there, but so was the inescapable thought that she would never be able to share this experience with anybody other than herself.

"Why?" was the sole word she had reduced her conundrum to as her feet loomed over the suddenly tiny, empty cities full of dilapidated constructions. In such a short time Ashi had grown so immense she was making mountains look tiny now. Yet bit by bit the joy that growth brought was being eaten away by her insisting thoughts. "Why am I?" she finally asked herself, when her stripes suddenly began to glow bright alongside her eyes. The air surged around Ashi and both her blue fur and her indigo hair began to billow in the updraft of energy. Her mind was being overloaded with information again.

A-05. Fifth genetically altered specimen from the old world, designation A. Biologic components fitted with nanite compatibility for best performance to energy consumption ratio. Mana-derivative power source, solar-powered technology. Solar. Sun. Star fuel.

"It's me...!" the gargantuan tigress gasped in realization. "I'm feeding off the Sun?! I'm the one killing it...!" Ashi held her head, "Nuh-no, that can't be right... I'm not even a real tiger. I'm not even of this world, but I'm standing here, draining it of its life...?"

The word 'project' started pounding inside of Ashi's head. She did her best to calm down, taking in deep breaths and closing her glowing eyes to better analyze all the data being streamed into her brain all at once. She understood the reason for her incredible transformation was her cells being constantly worked on by a colony of microscopic automatons; machines designed to multiply and sustain themselves as they worked towards modifying and otherwise maintaining her rapidly changing biology. A number of them had been repurposed as data banks able to link up with her mind, showing Ashi all she had to know. And when she knew it, the energy surge suddenly came to a stop. The once storming air surrounding the female colossus came to a stop and so did the billowing of her hair. Her green stripes had stopped glowing, and Ashi was finally growing no longer.

Towering over the continent, the tigress finally felt a strange calmness enveloping her. She finally knew. She had the answer and it filled her with much needed relief. "I'm the one success of the project to revitalize this dying world." Ashi thought as she cross-referenced every detail she had learned multiple times, focusing on accessing every last nanite coursing through her veins. She was not the reason the sun and the planet were dying. She had been specifically engineered to ascend to this form in order to save them both.

With unrestricted access to the databanks, it took her very little time to learn how to assume direct control of the mana-fueled technology she had been infused with. "Right now, every last cell in my body is co-existing with a nanite colony. Their reactors aren't as efficient as they can be... And they won't refine mana as fast as they can until I take care of the Sun." Ashi diverted her gaze towards the nearly-spent star in the distance. "Making them work harder might make them fizzle out, end up hurting me bad. But if I want to carry out my duty then I don't have time to waste. A gambit it is."

And armed with that newfound knowledge and more, Ashi began to realize her role. The why of her existence. She was this world's last hope: A goddess borne of a project centuries in the making. It was time to get to work. But first, she needed more power, and a bigger body would mean more capacity for it. She needed to grow.

Ashi closed her eyes and balled her hands into fists. Her stripes once again started to light up vibrantly neon-green as she started drawing heavy quantities of air. She willed every last nanobot within her to activate at once and carry out their expansion routine at full capacity. Ashi overrode any and all warnings as they sounded off, uncaring of alerts when she knew full well her very being had been created with breaking limits in mind.

Thusly, the tigress resumed her ascension. Only this time it was in powerful, vibrant bursts. The continent beneath her feet trembled as every time she vibrated her mass multiplied in size. Her shadow steadily and hungrily eclipsed the land. It passed over the stagnant oceans devoid of life, covered the wastelands and deserts, providing eternal shade to every fallen city over the dwindling horizon. Ashi grew and grew, her gargantuan body breaking through every available biosphere until she had become as tall as a thousand mountains stacked on top of each other. The energy and heat she was generating was so intense she was like a beefy and curvaceous tiger-shaped glowworm emerging from the planet's surface.

It was when overheating nanite colonies exploded and took out her cells with them that Ashi began to feel the strain. She faltered and found herself bending down to one knee, finding her growth stunted by an emergency. A groan passed her lips. Even if she looked unharmed and as powerful and beautiful as ever, the damage was internal. "No, I can't stop now!" she screamed out into the void, her eyelids giving way to a blast of emerald energy so bright that it hid her eyes. One look at the world beneath her legs told her the mission had to come first. This perishing, sad world deserved another chance and she was the only one could give it to it!

"Come on, body." Ashi told herself, clenching her fangs through the pain of relatively tiny nuclear explosions going off inside of her. "Just a little more. Bigger. Bigger than the continent!" she demanded, swelling ever larger once again. She could see past the horizon, finally noting the curvature of the planet. "Bigger! More! I have to grow bigger!" she insisted, her ginormous tail flicking with barely contained excitement behind her massive butt.

And bigger the muscular tigress became, assuaging her constant internal pain with the pleasure of expansion. "Just a little more..." Ashi repeated, starting to put her plan into action after her mind had finished running simulations. "All this heat needs to go," she murmured as she felt the cold embrace of the void creep over her fur. "Bigger! Grow more, body!" she yelled, "Make me bigger!"

"Bigger than everything in the whole world!" her command roared out powerfully and was followed by a deep moan of orgasmic bliss as Ashi felt herself swell beyond what any terrestrial creature had any right to grow. Her continuously explosive enlargement pushed her beyond the edge, the goddess' feet beginning to leave the surface of that dwindling planet as her own gravitational field became far too strong for the celestial body to have any pull on her any longer.

Ashi didn't stop even as she became as large as a planet. "Bigger than the world..." she quietly said. Turning around to face the planet she held her beefy arms out, making use of her developing mental ability to command her own gravitational field. She used her sheer size to take hold of the planet without touching it, keeping the massive sphere floating in front of her where she could see it. With the world suspended dangerously close to her colossal boobs, Ashi poured all of her focus in magnifying the scope and intensity of all of her senses.

Suddenly, the giant goddess could feel the planet's surface without placing a single finger upon it. Her nose could pick up the stale air and her eyes were able to see through crust and bedrock all the way to the core of that suffering planet. She could hear the gentle breeze and she could taste an ocean which was now unfit to hold life in it. As she sensed the world's pain, she made it her own.

"I will fix everything." Ashi whispered with a single tear running down her cheek, arms encroaching around the shrinking planet as she leaned in to embrace it into her soft and gentle bosom. Power flowed through invisible links the giantess' empathic connection had created. Reprogrammed nanites were given their orders, sent from Ashi herself to the world now small enough to begin wedging into her cleavage. Taking great care, she telekinetically pulled it out and set it back on its previous position. And then she held a hand under the baseball-sized globe, merely observing the world she had been inhabiting only hours before.

Light-brownish, stale, dying... Ashi began to smile as color returned to the world. Bit by bit, billions of her repurposed nanites started to work on the impurities of the ocean and air. They worked on reviving the vegetation, fueled by the goddess' almost motherly warmth. If any being had been present, they would have been unable to see the invisible swarm at work; instead watching as grass began to grow and water became blue once again as if by art of magic.

With the world well on its way to being restored, she stuck her left hand out and attracted space debris from an asteroid belt in the distance. Ashi gathered insurmountable volumes of space metal and rock at her palm before closing her hand around it all. What she released was a compacted sphere that she gently rolled before mentally aligning with the planet's orbit. A moon, just as a vague and distant memory reminded her.

Her mission was over. Ashi's reason for being was the job she had just completed. "I'm going to fall apart any minute now..." the tigress said as energy fizzled out from her eye sockets, revealing her green eyes again. She felt tired all of a sudden. "Life... life is going to come back to you..." Ashi smiled at the colorful planet barely the size of a bead to her. She began to close her eyes, as if ready to drift as part of the cosmos for the rest of eternity.

And yet, there was something else. A nagging thought. Something beyond the scope of the project which had conceived her. Ashi still yearned for others. "I don't want to be alone..." she huffed in protest, her hand reaching out for the world she had saved. "I want to be part of it. I want... yes. I'm alive. I want!"

All of her stripes lit up at once brighter than ever. Ashi turned her gaze from the world to the Sun, recalling her earlier observation. Her gambit had worked once. She had nothing to lose. "Bigger." The goddess said, "Bigger!" she repeated. "I need to... I have to get bigger!"

This time green light poured out of Ashi's eyes and her open mouth as she exacerbated every protocol within her bodily nanites, powering them up all at once. Resuming its growth spurt, Ashi began to dwarf every other uninhabited planet in the system. She couldn't physically move her body, diverting every last bit of her energy supply into increasing her mass. She needed all of the potential capacity for her plan to work. And yet the larger she got, the closer she grew to the Sun. It took all of her concentration to ensure her newly saved, now absolutely tiny world was protected from her own bodily surging. But she did it; she had to.

Ashi looked straight at the nigh-spent star, her eyes burning brighter than it. She was by far only half the Sun's size, yet she couldn't wait any longer. Her open maw was pouring out glowing green breath, like neon flames full of her own life energy. With one shot available, Ashi focused her very essence into one projectile which beamed out of her mouth, aimed straight at the solar mass in front of her.

The attack struck true, and Ashi and the sun were briefly connected. Entropy, its cruel mistress, was driven away in exchange for Ashi's vitality. The sun began to burn. Prominences started launching like magnificent flaming serpents crashing in on the brightening star's surface. And for a brief moment the solar system became engulfed in a bright flash of light which consumed even Ashi herself; her glow finally fading.

The floating, massive goddess closed her eyes and sighed deeply. For what seemed like true eternity, her body drifted without moving. Ashi breathed again when she began to feel warmth over her blue fur. With a twitch of her muscles, the cat yawned as if waking up from a nap, her arms stretching out as vigor started flowing back into her. "It worked." The goddess grinned as she brought a hand up to shield her eyes from the now incandescent sun shining brighter than ever. "Thank you for holding up your part of the deal!"

The half-sun sized feline freely swam through outer space now, enjoying mobility once again now that she and the Sun had entered a symbiotic partnership. Their lives would continue burning brightly together for eons. Ashi's nanites rejoiced with the new power source allowing them to tap into their mana reactors at full efficiency. Repairing themselves and their host as well as resuming all the improvements she had catalogued for them was going to be easy for now.

Powered by the sun itself, Ashi had transcended her purpose. She was now a goddess beyond protocol and limitation. And she figured that if she could turn back the clock for an entire star, it would only be a matter of time for her to learn how to do the same for that world she had poured her hope into.

A world Ashi wished now to be a part of.

"Try to keep up, Jeff!" Tina the rabbit giggled as she waved back at her boyfriend. It was a nice summer morning, the sun was bright and it still wasn't too hot for a jog. A green tank top and shorts hugged her curvaceous, pink furred body with fashionable red bands at her wrists. Jogging in place waiting for Jeff, Tina batted at her hair which she had done in two long ponytails worn over her shoulders.

Lagging behind the comparatively tall rabbit was a tired looking custard-yellow male bunny in matching workout clothes. Jeff's girlfriend wasn't amazonian at 5'1, but she certainly looked that way to him being a head shorter! "Y-you uhh..." he finally stopped, bending over with both hands landing on his knees as he struggled to catch his breath, "You have longer legs, Tina."

"It's only been four blocks, y'know? We're not even out of the neighborhood yet, teehee!" the rabbit grinned, putting a hand on Jeff's brown buzz-cut to gently pet him between his ears. "C'mon. We don't wanna make our friend wait!"

"Guh-great..." Jeff forced a smile. He would've preferred spending that morning by the pool instead of jogging, but he had to admit his girlfriend's energy could get contagious. "More long-legged people to chase after! At least she makes the best berry pies."

Tina leaned down, her breasts jostling momentarily before Jeff's eyes. She was giving him a mischievous look. "I'm totally banking on having some on the way back, sweetie. Better earn those extra calories! Now let's go!" she said, dashing off.

"Hu-hey!" Jeff broke out of his stupor with a stammer, almost losing his balance. "I thought we were jogging, not sprinting! No fair!"

Two blocks out, the running Tina widened her cheery smile and stuck out her arm to wave at their friend coming out to meet them in the street. An amazingly tall blue and green-striped tigress with long indigo hair. She had to be at least twice Tina's height. Her black sports bra and spandex shorts left little to the imagination, but it was easy to tell no matter what she wore it would be impossible to hide her curves or Herculean muscles.

"Hey, neighbor!" Tina greeted, beaming.

"You're going to run Jeff ragged at this rate, Tina." The musclebound tigress rested a hand on her wide hips, smirking as the short bunny boy finally caught up.

"Hu-hu... hey, Ashi. Mornin'..." Jeff offered a wave and a shaky smile, trying not to stare up as usual. Sometimes it was hard to get a good look at Ashi's face.

"Drink some water, hun!" Tina said, popping the bottle off her hip strap and handing it to Jeff who drank from it like a parched man in the desert. "I think it's going to get really hot in a bit. Maybe do a short route today?"

"Sounds good to me!" Ashi said while stretching. "Hope you two are in the mood for berry pie later." She grinned at Jeff's thumbs up as he chugged that water down.

"Leave some for me, dummy!" Tina laughed as she swiped the bottle off that bunny. Then, turning to Ashi she snickered: "Oh, before I forget..." With a smile as bright as the Sun, the pink rabbit walked forth and sank her face against Ashi's six-pack, hugging what she could of her burly torso, accidentally sliding her ears and head underneath the tigress' incredible bosom without any hesitation. Jeff almost spat the water he was about to gulp down.

"Happy Birthday, Ashi."

The End.
