So this is the first of a two part story, featuring one of the few transformations that I have yet to really get a lot of exposure. It features macro/kaiju transformation, something done in the cyberworld of a futuristic society where everyone enjoys their VR experience more than real life. When one person receives something that could cause the potential for mischief she quickly finds out how something can spiral out of control.

The wolfess growled loudly as she crashed through the wood of the barn, feeling the destruction against her massive paws as her malware began to infuse itself into the node. Even though it was about to be hers completely she cared little for it, instead her focus was more on smashing up the various buildings on the property as thoroughly as possible. Though nothing compared to the surge of power she got from eating the farmer that formerly owned the land she continued to grow slightly larger with every step she took along the wreckage of the barn towards the townhouse she eyed up next. As she debated between just jumping up and crushing it or ripping it apart piece by piece, the door opened and the farmer ran out at her.

At first Stormy's initial instinct was to reach down and consume the overeager fox once again, but strangely the thought seemed unpleasant to her as she instead waited to see what meager resistance the avatar would bring against her powerful form. "Goddess!" the vulpine shouted as he threw himself at her feet, his body almost completely covering her swollen foot as he looked up in her with sheer reverence in his glowing blue and black eyes. "Thank you for consuming me, I exist only to serve you! Command me and I shall do whatever you bid!"

The sudden declaration of admiration took the wolfess by surprise, but as the corrupted programming of her mind processed the information her shock turned into a grin of pure malevolence as she picked him up. "I need... more..." she said as she pressed him against her giant breast, the enthralled fox hugging her tight. "I must consume more!"

"I know just where to go, goddess!" Daniel shouted before he was set back down on the ground. "I have a few friends that have nodes active near mine, you won't even have to shred their firewalls to get to them. One in particular has some nasty security but he does trust me, I will lead you to him and you can wreak all sorts of havoc on his server!"

Stormy's fanged grin grew wider as she growled at him to lead the way, the eager minion of the mutated wolfess opening up a node communication relay and scrolling down his list of friends. As the fox began to chat with her soon-to-be newest victim her nostrils flared from the boredom of waiting and turned her sights once more to the farmhouse. Her car-sized fists smashed through the walls at the same time and then she ripped them upwards, completely tossing the roof off the destroyed building. Even as she continued to smash through the floors she saw that the object had become hers, something that caused no end of amusement for her as she stepped inside and immediately crashed down into the basement.

She was just about to start kicking up the rest of the ground floor when her servant shouted for her to come forward. She looked up to see the fox waving her forward, a node transportation portal open for the two of them to step through. She pulled herself out of the wreckage and followed Daniel to the portal, though as she came upon it she realized with some dismay that it was going to be a tough fit. As much as she wanted to widen it the boundary of the portal was the limit of how much data could be sent through at one time, and Stormy had assimilated a lot of data into her viral code.

Nevertheless the wolfess leaned down and pushed her way through, making furrows in the grass as she shoved her body in as far as possible. When she took a moment to squeeze her large breasts onto the other side she fell to the ground, grunting in frustration as she laid there for a second to try and recompress herself. Right in front of her muzzle the corrupted fox grabbed onto her muzzle to try and help, but was blown off by a hard snort from the wolfess before she got up and tried again. With enough careful compression of her code she managed to squeeze her way in, brushing herself off before her glowing eyes looked around.

While Daniel had chosen a country farm theme, his friend had decided to go the sci-fi route and had built a small space outpost on his plot of land. Clearly he was a merchant of some sort and had decided to try and capitalize off of the VR marketplace, which with the amount of space he had was clearly a good business for him. For Stormy, though, all she could see was the huge amounts of code that were there, especially the central spire that was still bigger than her and radiated corruptible data she could take advantage of. It was all there laid out in front of the two, and as she strode towards it the only thought in her head was that it would soon all be hers one way or another.

Meanwhile Clyde sat in his penthouse apartment, his futuristic lycra spacesuit clinging to his adonis-like form as he looked over the figures of his business on his computer in one hand while sipping a drink with the other. While there was a lot of work involved running a marketplace as big as his the benefits were more than worth it, a thought that caused the draconic creature's avatar to grin. The entire outpost station was his to mold and he put a lot of work and credits into making it one of the cornerstones not only of his local hub, but soon the international market as well. At the moment though he was more focused on his friend showing up so they could play a few games together, the dragon quickly checking the status of his remaining outliers before he would shut it down for the day.

Just as he was about to close down his terminal something caused his finger to pause on the button. One of his shops had just gone from green to red in a matter of seconds, which meant that what had been a busy market node had just shut itself completely down. He immediately tried to contact the vendor, only to find it ring a few times before going to their virtual mail. When he tried to bring up the security cameras in the area he found those off-line as well, his concern turning to frustration as he tried to bring up any nearby cameras to see what happened. When he finally found one that was angled towards the shop he gasped at what he saw, nearly dropping the drink he had been holding.

It looked like a bomb had gone off in that sector; people were fleeing and logging off from his node at a rapid rate as many of the buildings in that area were either destroyed or damaged in some way. Was this some sort of cyber attack? How did they manage to get past his security search protocols? He immediately called up his security team when something passed by the view on the monitors, a figure that he had to stop and rewind several times before his mind could comprehend what it was. When he set down his glass and got up to look himself he noticed that the liquid began to shudder slightly at regular intervals, the vibrations in the liquid growing stronger as he ran out to his balcony.

Stormy had crashed her way into the nearest set of buildings she could find and caused everyone there to immediately erupt into a frenzied panic. She swooped her hands down to try and grab some of them, but when she knocked into a small highrise its collapse crushed a lot of avatars and caused them to auto logout. She started to chase several down the street before she was suddenly accosted by several drones, these more powerful than Daniel's security measures as they surrounded her and created a force field. When she tried to push through it the energy burned her skin and she knew what they were, the representation of the owner's antivirus software had quarantined her avatar.

About a minute later she saw three dragons fly down onto a nearby skyscraper rooftop, one of them clearly the owner of the node as he flaunted his heavily-augmented avatar in front of the monstrous wolfess. "Whoever released this kaiju-lookin' virus into my node is going to have hell and credits to pay for the damages that they caused here today," Clyde said as his friends aimed their blaster cannons right at Stormy. "Now before I delete you completely, tell me who created your programming and who got you into my system, give me your source code data right now!"

It took a few seconds for Stormy to realize what he was asking for and it caused her to grow even more enraged than before. He thinks that I'm just some virus that was released onto his node, she thought angrily as she tried to lash out at him only to be bounced back by the shield. She knew that his commands, which would normally work on a sprite or other created program, would have no effect on her and he wouldn't be able to access anything. That meant she was about to be deleted, all her hard work and future destruction would be for nothing if she couldn't figure a way out of this trap.

"I will save you, goddess!" a tiny voice from below caused her to look, the dragons following suit to see Daniel standing there with a rocket launcher.

"Daniel!?" Clyde shouted in disbelief. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Did you let this thing into my system!"

"Soon you will see her in all her glory!" Daniel shouted back before he fired, Clyde attempting to bring up his defensive protocols in time to stop the shot. It was too late, though, and the rocket found its target, the drone exploding in a shower of sparks and metal as the energy field around Stormy faltered. It was more than enough for her to reach forward and snatch the two dragons next to Clyde from the rooftop and smash the building with a kick of her foot do dislodge the node owner himself. As the dust of the collapsing building flared up around her she looked eagerly at the two dragons in her grasp, feeling them both squirm before she devoured them both.

With her increased size it was far easier to swallow them both down, and as soon as the two dragon's avatars began to assimilate into her own she was knocked off her feet by the sudden rush of power. Another larger building served to cushion her fall as she fell stomach forward into it while her entire body thrashed from the explosive growth and blissful corruption. The bumps that had formed on her back sprouted into full-blown spikes as her muzzle grew out, teeth pushing out past her lips as her fangs grew even longer. Her meaty hands went up to her skull as it began to grow in several points, the bone slipping between her fingers as it formed a pair of horns that curved around a second pair that were straighter.

When Stormy tried to stand up again she realized her body was still growing, her shoulders pushed into two more buildings and the sound of shattered glass and twisted steel filled the air before they collapsed on top of her. The debris of the huge objects completely covered her up to her hips, exposing only her legs and tail that went limp. The wolfess' tail continued to shudder and twitch as it grew out at a rapid rate, smashing into another building as it grew thick and reptilian while still retaining a mix of black fur and scale. Those that were brave enough to continue to be logged into the node began to cautiously move towards the giant creature to try and survey the damage.

Just as they began to think the worst had past there was a loud roar and the rubble that had collapsed on top of the wolfess was suddenly thrown up into the air. Black clouds began to gather around the area as her new, huge wings flapped again to push off the remainder of the destroyed building, causing more avatars to run. When they tried to log-off they found themselves locked into the node by the local administrator, which had transferred to Stormy after she had completely assimilated the area. With nowhere to run they began to flee towards the strongest structure in the area, the central spire.

Stormy let out a roar as she flexed her powerful body, which was now taller than several of the skyscrapers in what had been Clyde's domain as she looked down at herself. She had taken the programming the vain dragon had used to make his avatar and used it on herself, her form becoming terrifying to match the ferocity and strength she possessed. She was a monster, a kaiju as the owner of this node had expressed, but despite all that she wanted more... not only more power, but also more chaos and destruction as her corrupted code seeped into the surrounding landscape.

As she stepped forward the black and blue tendrils of her malicious software spread outward, continuing to claim the land as her own. Despite the ease in which she could now assimilate the massive structures as her own she preferred to smash them anyway, climbing on some and allowing them to tip over while others she just smacked with the back of her hand to cause them to collapse. With her increased gait she also began to catch up more easily with the avatars that scurried about below her, now the size of insects to her huge form. She leaned down and with a swipe of her massive mitt she captured several, popping them into her giant maw like a handful of popcorn before she continued on. While the power she got from them only increased her growth by another inch or two, the thrill she got from their corruption was addicting.

By the time she reached the central spire Stormy had cut a devastating path of destruction behind her. The buildings that hadn't fallen to her were now completely laced with glowing blue and black lines, the data spreading out its corruption everywhere. Those that were foolish enough to make contact with the viral data had it spread over their avatars, as well, and made it impossible to logout, and as it spread through their programming they were filled with an insatiable desire to run towards the kaiju wolfess to get devoured by her. Already she had a number of avatars at her feet, but the one she was focused on was the dragon held by his two former friends with glowing blue reptilian eyes.

"You traitors!" Clyde shouted as he was pushed to the balcony of his penthouse, which Stormy was now eye-level with as he watched the node owner struggle with amusement. "I gave you those avatars and now you're using them against me?! Just you wait until I get to my terminal, I'm going to destroy this kaiju virus and then blacklist you from every affiliate I know! You won't even be able to get a standard issue avatar once I'm done with you two!"

The two dragons seemed completely unaffected by the ranting of their friend as they approached the edge of the balcony where Stormy waited. "My goddess, we have brought to you an offering!" They both shouted in unison. "Please devour him so that he may be brought into the fold with us!"

Stormy responded by lowering her head down slightly and opening her jaws wide. Clyde continued to shout and curse until they got him over the edge and pushed him over, the draconic avatar shouting all the way down until he disappeared into the kaiju wolfess' throat, her jaws snapping shut once she had swallowed her latest meal. Like the other two dragons as soon as her programming infested the highly-evolved avatar protocols she felt her strength surge, growing several more inches as spikes began to grow out on her shoulders, elbows, knees, and sporadically around the rest of her form. Her thick, hard muscles swelled but the bulkiness of them actually smoothed out somewhat, the same features that made the dragon as handsome as he was making the wolfess' body perfectly proportional while still retaining her monstrous qualities.

With her assimilation of the node owner complete everything transferred over to her, including his wealth and property. Stormy cared little about such things, though, as lightning flashed overhead and a growing number of avatars cheered and worshipped at her massive feet she arched back with her entire body to slam into the gleaming tower. "Goddess, wait!" a sudden cry came from inside the spire, the kaiju pausing only in sheer curiosity as she saw Clyde once more appear on the balcony, only now his eyes glowing blue and black with the rest of the devoured. "Surely you don't want your reign of terror to end with this node, do you?"

Though Stormy was still tempted to continue her demolition of the tower, the dragon made a good point. "Go on," her powerful voice boomed, several of the windows shattering from the sheer force as she knelt down to stare eye to giant eye at her newest acolyte. "Why should I spare your pathetic tower?"

"It's still yours goddess, I do not wish to take claim over it!" the dragon shouted. "What I want you to do is use it! It has enough data capacity to get you to the local hub node, it's the public VR meeting place and internet provider for half the city! With your strength and power no one would be able to stop you and you could make it yours!"

A low rumbling shook the ground from the growl that reverberated through Stormy's body as she thought about it. The hub would likely be heavily defended and would attract a lot of attention, she remembered from when she wasn't an all-powerful virus, going to the hub a few times to get more templates for her area and seeing all the security. But all those buildings... all those avatars... she could feel her mouth begin to water from the sheer prospect and ordered Clyde to make it happen.

While she waited she decided a celebratory snack was in order and swatted away several buildings in order to give her enough room to lie down. Once she did she opened her maw once again, the malware-infected avatars eagerly stepping over one another to climb into her maw. Nearly two dozen pushed their way inside, their avatars laced with black and blue as they used whatever means they could to get up past her rubbery lips and huge teeth to get inside. Once they were all in she stood up and tipped her head back, letting the avatars slide down her throat and get quickly assimilated. Less than a minute later they joined the group that had gathered around her, a demonstration of her rapidly intensifying power that she couldn't wait to unleash as the spire began to glow with an unearthly light...

**************************************************

In the central hub of the local data network hundreds of thousands of avatars went about the huge structures in the VR landscape, giving a feel of the bustle of downtown while still containing the surreal structures and objects that were common place in a virtual world. Antoine sat in a local cafe and sipped on his coffee as he scrolled through what he wanted to do next, joined by a dozen or so other furs going about their day. As he looked out the window; however, he noticed the sky began to darken, storm clouds roiling outwards from one of the primary docking nodes. When he looked at his virtual weather app he was surprised to see that it was supposed to be a sunny, which didn't make any sense...

A sudden jolt knocked Antoine off of his chair, as well as several others as everything shifted and broke. Alarms everywhere went off as the citizens in the shop looked at one another, wondering what could have possibly happened to cause such a major glitch. Someone turned on the television to see that there was an avatar reporting near a massive dust cloud, saying that one of the primary access nodes had just collapsed. Antoine and several others suddenly put their hands to their muzzles when they saw a huge dragon with glowing blue eyes swoop down behind the reporter, who could hardly turn around before the avatar grabbed him and stuffed his head into his maw. Just as the reporter's muzzle could be seen bulging out the dragon's throat, the feed cut and another tremor rocked the entire area.

"Screw this..." Antoine said as he opened his menu. "I'm getting out of here!" When he got to the menu that allowed him to disconnect he found himself unable to, quarantine lockdown protocols preventing him from leaving. After several futile tries he began to call his provider, only to be interrupted by loud screams and a crash as a behemoth of a fox roared and grabbed the nearest avatar. Everyone ran as Daniel devoured the data easily, his stomach bulging from the avatars he had previously consumed.

When Antoine got into the city streets everyone was running in one direction, though before he could get far he had to cover himself as a deafening boom shattered every glass construct in the area. There was another, stronger reverberation in the ground as Antoine waited for the shards of glass to stop falling, and when he uncovered his head he found himself completely in darkness. He slowly looked up, virtual body filled with fear as he saw what created the shadow and screamed before he was picked up along with a dozen others and thrown down into a deep, black hole.

Stormy licked her lips as she snacked on her latest batch of avatars, her head so high up now from the skyline she could see the entire city node. Every step she took collapsed buildings now, and those that didn't she either destroyed herself or bit into to snack both on structure and avatar code. With only a few steps she had destroyed nearly a tenth of the city itself and the defense measures they sent against her only slowed her down. As several tanks rolled up to try and deal with her she brought down her huge foot and squashed them all, but instead of their avatars auto-logging and the objects disappearing she corrupted them near instantly, and when she let her foot up they immediately rebuilt themselves and began to shoot corruptive code shells into the fleeing crowds and buildings.

The kaiju wolfess took a moment to watch as her viral code spread everywhere, either by her touch or by those that she had created. It was a virtual plague and it swept across the city, infecting whatever she didn't choose to destroy. When she was done admiring her work she made her way towards the city, continuing to rampage on the defensive capabilities that attempted to stop her. They failed to realize that this was no longer their node, everything here... no, everything EVERYWHERE was hers now, and there was nothing they could do stop her as she let out a victorious roar!

Stormy gasped as she suddenly sat up in her bed as the sounds of rain hitting her window now the only thing that filled her ears. Her brain had to suddenly adjust from being hundreds of stories tall to being back to normal, though even that felt strange to her as she slowly reached her hands up to take off the VR headset. Had it all been some sort of strange game, a fully immersive program that allowed her to take on her deepest fantasies of carnage and destruction?

When she took off her headset the first thing she noticed was that, despite being in darkness, the entire room seemed brighter, like someone had scattered a bunch of glowsticks around. The very next thing was when the reached down to take off her suit, gasping when she saw her changed form. While she had gone to bed just above the five-and-a-half foot mark, the fact her feet actually hung off the bed put her more at the eight foot mark. Her body was also very well muscled, her neoprene sensory suit stretching tight against her body and showing off every new crevice and curve of her while her hands pressed against her plentiful breasts contained within.

After a few minutes of sitting there and looking at all the changes that had taken place to her physical body she realized she had no need to take off the suit, leaving the tight material to hug her every curve as she got up and walked to her living room. More than once she had to duck down to avoid the doorframe as she made her way to the kitchen. Anything that could be eaten in the area was laid out on the counter and as she dug into some leftovers she looked at her television in the corner that seemed to glow slightly.

To her surprise it turned on almost instantly, a special report being broadcast from one of her local channels. "-are still working around the clock to try and figure out the cause of the massive viral attack on the network hub of the city, and why defenses were so lax in keeping it contained." the reporter said as he looked back at the building that contained the city servers. "Despite the protests from many of the city's citizens, authorities are keeping the hub shut down as well as the entire network until they can properly assess the damage to virtual infrastructure the threat caused and how to eradicate it from the servers, asking for patience while they investigate. While no timeline has been given they have assured they are working as fast as possible and will continue to update the city on the status of this virus."

Stormy paused her eating and stepped forward as she recognized the reporter on the screen, a smile forming on her lips as she saw his eyes glowing faintly blue as she seemed to wink at her. With a wave of her hand she turned off the television and focused on her power of the malware that had somehow fused to her physical form as well as her virtual avatar. The first thing she could sense were all the electronics in her building, and just like in the digital realm as she concentrated on a computer in particular she felt herself corrupting it with viral code. She laughed darkly as she realized that even though they took her out of her corrupted avatar, it doesn't didn't they took the corrupted avatar out of her.

A few minutes later she had walked up to the roof of her building, the entire journey up taking over electronics of everyone she passed. Credits, avatars, everything she could touch she corrupted and bent to her will. While it wasn't as satisfying as roaming around a city and destroying it she knew it would have to do... for now. Every resource she gathered she did with purpose, to not only continue to strengthen her impressive form, but to reach the servers in order to reign in her world once again.

As she let out a powerful roar on the roof of the building she felt her drones connect with her, the contact list on her mobile phone filling with numbers of those that she had devoured in the virtual world. They were still hers, and soon everything will be as she gave a mental command that was sent to all of them. In the city thousands of people with glowing blue and black eyes that could only be seen by other servants of the goddess all looked down at their phones and were told to wait... wait for their time to strike.

After all, Stormy thought to herself as the rain dripped off her smiling muzzle, there was more than one way to infect a computer...

**************************************

Meanwhile in a secret underground base half a continent away, several military personal walked down a concrete hallway, led by a technician in a white lab coat who stopped suddenly and turned to face them. "Gentlemen, before we proceed I must ask one more time to be sure that you have stored all handheld devices and cell phones up top," he asked, the older men grunting. "It's a precaution that I have to ask everyone, there is nothing of that nature allowed past the red line."

"Yeah, you got everything," one of the generals said angrily. "Don't know why, we've got so many layers of steel and concrete between us and the surface we couldn't get reception with a goddamned radio dish."

"It's the whole reason you're down here, General," he said as he allowed them to move on, passing the bright red line that warned of taking any electronics past that point. "Last night you had to shut down an entire server node for a city because of an unstoppable virus capable of great and total devastation. You also mentioned that many who were logged in were completely unresponsive to external stimuli and that some in public places had been reported to have a seizure before the mass disconnect."

"Right," another military man replied as they passed through another security door, this one operated completely by mechanical locks that he used several keys to open. "So what we're about to see is the cause of it?"

"Not directly," the scientist clarified as they reached a massive steel vault door, which he and the Admiral that had come with them each put in a separate combination in the dual old-school combination lock to open. "As all of you may know there was a similar incident a year ago involving a massive takeover of the virtual network, which eventually bled over into the real world and caused an entire city to become a war zone until we finally got the situation contained... But he may also be the only solution to your current problem. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the technomancer.

The vault door slowly swung open and a cold mist escaped out of the darkness. The light from the hall only managed to penetrate so far in, enough for them to see a figure hanging from a number of wires in the otherwise empty space. "So... you've finally come..." the head slowly rose up and a pair of glowing green eyes appeared in the darkness that illuminated a metallic muzzle framed with a pair of shiny saberteeth. "I can't wait to hear what's gone so wrong you need MY help."
