Tournament of Transformation - Opening Ceremony

(Incoming transmission: Location...Unknown)

"Greetings from the Netherrealm!" A silver raptor said as he adjusted his headset. He sat behind a desk as polished as his unnaturally shiny scales, while behind him was what looked like a stadium filled with creatures of all sorts cheering and shouting. "My name is Chrono, and I will be your announcer on this, the first ever Tournament of Transformation! Sixteen brave souls have been transported through time and space to compete here, inside the nexus created by our benevolent ruler Renzyl. Through the mutual cooperation of several entities we have created several playing fields filed with pitfalls and dangers, where our contestants will be tested and transformed both physically and mentally for the chance to be crowned the Champion of Transformation! We now go live to the stadium itself, where Master Renzyl is about to enter the center stage."

The stadium was packed with a massive throng of spectators that continued to cheer as a black, demonic dragon walked out onto a large, obsidian platform at the center of it. His latex scales shone brightly in the light from the purple and blue clouds that swirled above the arena. Once he reached the platform and waved his hands the crowd became hushed, his red eyes scanned the various species that were ready to partake in the delights that he offered them. The energy in the air was palpable, and had more than a tinge of lustfulness to it.

"Welcome spectators!" His voice boomed, everyone able to hear it despite the lack of voice-enhancing devices. "Thank you for coming to this, a tournament held within the nexus of my domain! Sixteen creatures have signed their bodies and minds over to compete, where their lives will, quite literally, be changed by the experience." As the crowd had a bit of a chuckle he waved his hands over a pair of obelisks on one side of the stage, the sigils began to glow with an unearthly red light as the air began to grow thick and smoky. "And now, I want all of you to give a huge round of applause for our combatants in the Tournament of Transformation!"

Another thunderous roar erupted from the audience as red and purple lightning arced between the two obelisks as what appeared to be a mini storm cloud frothed and boiled between them. Then, one by one, those that had had signed up to compete stepped out onto the stage. Several waved broadly with huge smiles on their face; some timidly took their place and nodded, while others seemed to shy away from the massive amount of attention they now received. What they all had in common was the large purple gemstone that each one clutched, also etched with symbols and perfectly clear except for wispy smoke that seemed to move inside.

Back in the announcer's booth Chrono turned back from his perch and once more smiled into the camera. "Don't they all just look wonderful?" He commented with a grin. "Of course you have to get a good look at them now, out of the sixteen creatures you see there will be fifteen that have undergone some serious changes when they come back to that stage. In case you at home were wondering, each one of the entrants has been given a soul stone that they will hand over to Renzyl, which will keep their original minds and bodies intact when they return to their prospective dimensions. They will still have the fond, blissful memories of their experience, don't you worry about that. Now let's go back down to the stage where our gracious coordinator will introduce our lucky players."

When all the players had exited the portal Renzyl walked to the first person in the line. "We start off with Group one and our first lucky contestant, Delta." He clasped the anthro tree monitor lizard on the shoulder as he gestured for him to wave to the group. Being of average height, Delta was a head shorter than the demonic dragon, his dark green scales with orange bands a sharp contrast to the latex paw on him. His long tail swished as he smiled and waved at the crowd until the cheers died down. "Are you excited to be here?"

"Yes I am!" Delta replied, his voice also echoed with same spread that Renzyl's had. "I know I'm going to win this. I just want to say sorry to all my fellow contestants in advance for when I beat them."

"Enthusiastic, I like that." Renzyl replied as he took the soul stone from his short-clawed hand and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Next we have Nestor, a hyena who just can't keep his feet on the ground. How are you feeling today Nestor?"

"I'm feeling pretty good Renzyl." The spotted hyena replied as he ran a hand through his long mane, the splashes of color shimmered slightly as he gave his stone to Renzyl. "I think my experiences are really going to help on this. Looking forward to learning a lot." Nestor felt slightly uncomfortable that he didn't have his belt with his gear, but his body was trimmed and fit and he was confident he could hold his own.

Renzyl chuckled and shook him slightly. "I can guarantee you're going to learn a thing or two, although I think some parts of this could turn into a real 'circus'." He left the frowning hyena and moved over to his next victim, what looked like a strange amalgamation of reptile, feline and human. "Here we have Daniel, who describes himself as a... mewthree. Huh, what an exotic specimen you are, glad you could join us."

The black-scaled creature shifted on his muscular legs as he waved a three-fingered hand in the air. "I guess I could be considered... rare. " Daniel replied, his thick tail waved casually behind him as he stared eye-to-eye with his host. Through his telepathy he realized that the dragon wanted to take him as some sort of 'pet' or something, but thankfully through the bounds of the contract he was not allowed to use any magic directly on him. "There are quite a few interesting characters here though."

"Very true." Renzyl grinned. "Now we get to a creature close to my heart, rounding out the first bracket of our competition is Ayrlah Siikes." The creature he walked over to was a golden dragon that sharply contrasted Renzyl as he clasped hir shoulder; his body shuddered slightly as he felt the tingle of the creature's essence. "Now you're a herm dragon, not to mention wingless, any apprehension to being thrown into the fray with three males?"

"Not a bit whatsoever." Ayrlah replied with a big smile. "This dragon's ready to for anything. And I do mean anything Renzyl, might even be able to take you for a spin." Renzyl was about to respond when he felt something nibble on his tail, a grin formed on his own face as he saw the other dragon's tail start to engulf his own. "Any questions?"

"Only why I decided to put a hands-off clause to the tournament form." Renzyl replied as he took the last stone of the first group. "And that, my dear friends, are our competitors for the first round!"

"A fine looking bunch indeed." Chrono said back at his desk. "As Renzyl pointed out the first group consists of three males, one herm. Also in that group we have one gay, one straight, and two bi-sexual who, as they put it, 'love the herms'. Certainly that will be an interesting match, which will air later once the opening ceremony has been complete. Back once more to Renzyl, and his introduction to our second bracket."

"Now we have what I have to call a bit of a rarity in my nexus for the first member of group two." Renzyl explained. "One of the few humans to walk into my plane untainted, plus he's straight too boot!" The black leather jacket creaked slightly as he patted the tall, white male, his face completely obscured by a red bandanna around his face. "Rhodes, you describe yourself as a bit of an anarchist, do you think your Mad Max style is going to give you an upper edge against the creature contestants you face?"

"Look here Dragon." Rhodes replied as removed the baseball cap from his reddish-brown hair and pointed it at one of the lizardmen that wielded a camera. "All of you crazy freaks out there. I'm going to prove that whether you think you're faster, stronger, or smarter than me, when the dusts settles I'll be at the top of the heap! YEAH!"

"Save that enthusiasm for the field, I'm so going to enjoy watching you." Renzyl replied before he moved on to the purple scaled western dragon that was next in line. "Alright, our second dragon in the tournament today is Kon, who follows my own heart in that a flesh and blood form is usually foreign to him. How does it feel to be solid, at least for a few hours?"

"It certainly feels unusual." Kon replied as his lavender-membraned wings fluttered a bit. "But with what you boasted was going on here, I certain do not regret the trade-off to compete in something like this. I hear a lot of kinky things might be happening to us?"

"You bet, just remember that for once, transformation is not good." Renzyl explained as a clawed finger ran along the dragon's cream colored belly scales. "Well, you'll lose at least; transformation can never be bad in my opinion. In any case, contestant number three is Merali, a rather voluptuous herm flying fox that has... similar tastes to my own. Care to explain?"

"Ohhh, strong paws." Shi cooed seductively as her tongue slid around her roughly fox-like muzzle and she put an arm around his waist while she answered his question. "Well, if I happen to see someone I like, I seduce him for a bit of... play. I think anyone with a pulse can appreciate that. Unless you're talking about the enchantment, only to help those who are reluctant to see what I bring to the table. Do I enchant you Renzyl?"

"Ah hem, once again, save those charms for the battlefield." Renzyl replied, though his hand decided to travel down the silky, short fur of her back before he took hir stone and moved on. "I love this tournament already... anyway; last for group two is Kurai, an anthro fox-dragon hybrid. What do you think of all these people, looking down at you as you're about to go into battle against the three other people next to you?"

"Oh... uh..." Kurai managed to say as Renzyl's comment on all the eyes on his effeminate vulpine form, along with his hand on his shoulder which brushed latex scales against the small blue patch of scales he had there, made him extremely anxious. He had been that way as soon as he stepped out onto the black stone platform, his tail wrapped around his leg as he wished they could just get on with it. "It's ok, I guess..."

The dragon patted him on the back as he took his last stone for the group with a smirk. "Take a deep breath, you'll do fine." He told him before he addressed the crowd once more. "I want to hear all of you as you give a big hand for group 2! Another excellent match it looks like!"

"Once again, we have three males and a herm from our latest group," Chrono instructed, "with three this time bi-sexual and one straight. As Renzyl pointed out we also have the only human that entered the tournament in this group as well, so keep an eye on this battle to see if the underdog in this bracket will come out on top. We are now halfway through our contestant list, with eight more lucky contestants to go. I know everyone is at the edge of their seats, so let's get right back down too it!"

"Starting off our third group is the first naga, Amethystine, who listed under his occupation as 'potion-maker'." Renzyl said as he put an arm around the brown-scaled shoulders of the next stage occupant. "Now, as we were taking everyone's gear and such to keep the items safe, my underlings made quite the discovery inside your lab coat. I do believe that they're still trying to sort through and catalog the number of potions that were inside. Like to transform others much?"

"Oh, thossse are for my own persssonal ussse." Amethystine replied with a grin as his 8 meters of thick coils undulated and moved on the stage. "They contain a variety of different transssformative effectsss that I think are rather ussseful. I wouldn't think of having anyone elssse take them, unless they really wanted to. You would be sssurprised at the requesssts I get sssometimes."

"Mmmm, not really." Renzyl chuckled. "By the way, there may be some missing, we'll make sure to reimburse you. Moving on! Frysco is a Gryfsune, another hybrid on our contestant row. Oh my..." He stopped a bit as he looked up to see the reds, blues, and greens of the colorfully feathered avian head, torso, wings, and tail. "I don't think I would have any trouble picking you out of a crowd. What brings you to this tournament?"

"Oh, well, I'm not sure." Frysco said, his androgynous, lithe form shifted about slightly as he was unsure of how to respond. "It just seemed like something interesting; I thought I would give it a shot. I like to think of myself as outgoing, so when the opportunity arouse I took it." His blue head moved back a bit as the demon dragon's head leaned down and stared into his eyes.

"You are quite a bit more kinky then you're letting on, little birdie." Renzyl almost whispered, an evil grin on his face as he lingered there for a few seconds before he darted up and moved on to the snow leopard next to him. His thick tail waved from side to side as he was preoccupied with the crowd, which allowed the dragon to grab him by the thick, white and black-spotted tail which caused the feline to jump slightly. "Hello, Yuris, you're one of our first pure felines to have signed up. What do you think of the tournament so far?"

"Oh, it's really great so be here." Yuris replied with awe, his ice-blue eyes sparkled with anticipation. "I just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to enter into this. The way you described, I know that this is going to be a fun experience for everyone. Everyone's been so nice so far, I know that I'm in the best of hands."

"Of course you are." Renzyl said as he tried to resist the urge to snicker as he dropped the tail and ran a clawed hand through the leopard's long brown hair before he got the last man of the group. "Finally we get to Fait, a kinkajou who wrote on his form that he has a six-pack. It also said that you like blueberries and sex, ever have them together?"

"That's quite a personal question to put to someone." Fait replied simply as he put a hand through his long, black hair. Though he smiled to the crowd there was a posture to him that felt very... deceptive. When the kinkajou didn't respond further Renzyl just patted him on the back. "You're also going to be a fun one to watch I think. As will all of our contestants from group 3, what do you think people?"

The roar of the crowd brought the attention back to Chrono, who looked nervously out the window. "Well it appears our host is starting to lose himself a little bit to his... desires, although with all the prime talent out there who can blame him? I just hope he remembers he is not allowed to do anything to them as we want all our players untainted before they go into the fray. In any case for group three we have all males, with two bi-sexual, one gay, and one who calls himself... omnisexual. Well, with all the same gender it will be interesting to see how those dynamics play out for our contestants."

"Whoo, getting down to the final four now." Renzyl said as he wiped his latex scales off with a cloth before he gave it back to the red lizardman that was near the stage. "The charge is absolutely electric in the air, a bit overwhelming to those who are trying to hold themselves back. So once more we continue forward, onto someone, or maybe someone's who I've been waiting to meet since I received their form."

With that he moved to a two-headed hydra, both of their blunt muzzles looked at the dragon as he walked over to them. "I almost considered having to charge you twice." Renzyl joked as he put his hand on the creature's left shoulder, his skin a deep blue. "So you are Rhylith, and you are considered the male side, while you're lovely other half is the female aspect Torri. Since you put herm on your sheet I have to ask, are the genitals divided like your skin is? I notice you have a very nice set of breasts that you both share."

"Do you want to see what they look like?" Torri said with a smirk as she began to unbutton their pants.

"Torri!" Rhylith shouted as his hand darted forward to stop her before he grinned sheepishly at the tournament host. "You'll have to excuse her Renzyl, she can be a bit of a tease. But to answer your question they're in the middle of our bodies."

Renzyl licked his lips as he looked at hir once more, a predatory look on his face before he regained his composure and grabbed hir soul stone. "I'm sure I'll have quite a few chances to see your... peculiarities later, just keep it in your pants until the tournament begins. I can't believe I just said that..."

"Alright, next for our last group is another exotic, we have a duck-billed platypus named Murphy." Renzyl introduced as he ushered himself over to the brown furred male that stood there in a kilt and max bones t-shirt. "Now I wanted to make sure that this was really on your sheet and not a mistake of my underlings. It said that you are a tooth fairy?"

"I know it's a bit ironic considering my own dental situation." Murphy replied as he opened his black bill. "But it is what it is and I am what I am. Speaking of such, I don't suppose I'm going to get my wand at all?"

"Sorry, but as I said all non-clothing items were checked in." Renzyl explained. "If you have some sort of talent derived from it you will have access, though it may be confined to the rules and limitations provided by the fairness clause of the form. In any case it's good to have you aboard and hope you do well."

"Our third contestant is Lenz, our other naga in this tournament." Renzyl continued as he grabbed Lenz by his black-scaled arm while he described him. "He is an oddity as well, but not for his current looks. Oh no, he is the only contestant that used to be something else and has been transformed into his current form. Do you think that will give you an edge in the trials ahead to be familiar with such a process?"

"Um, perhaps." Lenz answered slightly apprehensively as a hand rubbed against his silver belly scales. "I'm not in it for that sort of thing; I just want to see if I can win."

"Of course you do." Renzyl said with a chuckle. "I'm sure that's all any of the contestants are here for, right?" The comment drew a bit of laughter from the crowd as he moved to the final conestant at the other end of the stage, a grey-furred, big eyed creature that was less than half of Renzyl's height as he put a hand square on his head. "Rounding off our oddball bracket and tournament is Ovni, this cute little science experiment likes to crawl around and explore. So Ovni, you are quite easily the shortest creature in the tourney, do you think that will help or hurt you?"

"Oh help, definitely!" Ovni replied enthusiastically. "I'll make sure no stone goes untouched and no place left unmapped, and with my size I can get into places that most of the bigger creatures here can't!"

"There are so many ways one can take that to the gutter." Renzyl said as he took the last soul-stone and made it disappear before he took to center stage once more. "Ladies, Gentlemen, and everything else, I would like to present to you our possible champions! Sixteen will enter the nexus, but only four will come back to this very stage in order to participate in the final round. So give them one more great big cheer!"

"And there you have it folks!" Chrono almost shouted as the roar of the crowd could still be heard even in his box. "Once again group four is three males and one interesting herm, with two bi-sexuals, one gay, and one more self-described 'omnisexual'. Certainly all four rounds are going to be packed with lustful, transformative adventure as very soon the four groups will be transported to their respective arenas where they will be given their match type and transformation theme. We hope that you'll tune in to those matches, and until then this is Chrono from the netherrealm wishing you all a good night!"

The camera continues to roll as the silver raptor gathers up his papers, until something on his head-set causes him to listen in more intently. "Yeah, I know." He spoke into the device. "I thought for sure we'd have to pull him off one of them before he got to the end... what? What do you mean he's coming- oh no." Chrono's eyes widen as Renzyl pounces him from the other side of the desk, both of them sent to the floor and out of sight as lewd noises could start to be heard...
