Tournament of Transformation - Round 2, Part 1
"Oh, why hello there!" The silver raptor beamed as he looked into the camera. "Welcome to the Tournament of Transformation, where anything and everything can change in a heartbeat!"
"In case you've just tuned in, this tournament features four contestants who have eagerly submitted their bodies to the physical and mental transformation scenarios concocted by our benevolent master Renzyl." Chrono explained. "The first three that succumb to the theme transformation will lose, and the winner will be untransformed and transported to a very special final round. Whoever wins that will be crowned the Champion of Transformation! Are you excited yet out there? I know I am!"
"First of all we here extend a hardy congratulations to the winner of the first bracket, who will soon be joined by three others to duke it out in the final round! Will it be Rhodes the human, Merali the flying fox, Kon the dragon, or Kurai the fox-dragon hybrid? We will soon see the next person to join him as we take it down to Renzyl, who will be arriving with the next four contestants in their arena shortly.
************************************************
It was a rather busy day at the Mall, furs of all types trying to find the best deals in the shops that lined the wall. They only stopped at the food court for a quick bite between bargain hunting, so no one really paid any particular attention as four people suddenly filled an empty table. The four new contestants looked surprised to see themselves in their new surroundings, as well as what appeared to be several different fast food dishes in front of them. All of them could feel their stomachs rumble at the sight of the food, and before long they all began to partake of meals in front of them as they introduced themselves to each other.
"I do love mall Italian food myself." They suddenly heard as they all paused to see a familiar black demon dragon sit down with several piles of pizza and pasta on his own tray. "Oh don't worry about paying me back for the chow; I thought I would feed you while we discuss the particulars of your leg of the competition. You'll be playing here at the Mall, four floors of stores that stretch from one end of this place to the next. As for the game itself it's going to be an interesting one, far different than our last round. We're going to be playing a little game of 'capture the flag'."
As each of them looked at one another in question, Renzyl grinned at them before he looked around and ushered a passing teenage fox to come to their table. "Each of you has a corresponding crystal statue of themselves floating around the mall, assigned at random." He explained as he pulled a small, clear crystalline statue from the surprised teen's backpack. "Think of these as the representation of your essence, naturally unaltered they'll look like you. If someone else happens to get a hold of your statue, however..."
The four watched the fox as a strange look passed over his face, backing up slightly as Renzyl continued to hold the statue tightly. All at once the fur on his body seemed to melt, turning black as it hardened into scales. A small moan of pleasure escaped his lips as his body began to expand, the fox's lanky form filling out with muscle as his bones grew into a large frame. Spikes began to appear on his body, his tail and legs thickening into a more draconic configuration as his clothing ripped at the seams from the expanding muscle. "What's... happening..." the transforming teen managed to say as his fox frame was quickly subsumed by a very familiar draconic form.
"I'm just showing my new friends the theme of the transformation for today's game." Renzyl grinned, which suddenly began to appear on the fox's muzzle as it flattened and grew. "This time it's clone transformation. The more you hold onto their statue, the more your essence will turn them into you, albeit much slower than our young friend here. This transformation will also be creeping, which means that the transformation is continuous and will progress only when someone actually has your statue. If they let go of the statue..." Renzyl let go of the fox's statue, and almost immediately the fox returned to his normal body, more startled than ever, "then you will return to your normal form."
"Wait, if we keep going back into our normal forms every time someone drops a statue how is anyone supposed to win?" Rhodes huffed as he sat back, the human adjusting the headband around his mouth.
"I was just getting to that." Renzyl replied as he grabbed the statue once more. Almost immediately the fox resumed his draconic form, letting out a small gasp of surprise as his body quickly changed back to the same spot it was right before he let go of it the first time. "If you lose a statue and then you or someone else gains it back, the other person starts precisely where the transformation left off the last time. Now the statue responds to the current form, which means that if you happen to get transformed by something else in the mall then those changes will also happen to your victim." To emphasize the point he held out his arm, the black latex scales flowing into a single tentacle while the exact same thing happened to his transforming victim's arm. "Finally, if you lose yourself and your statue entirely to the essence of someone else..."
"Then it's game over for you." The former fox said as his eyes changed from their normal blue to the same reptilian red slits that Renzyl sported, a smile quickly creeping across his face as the last vestiges of the fox were whisked away. The two had become completely identical, to the point where if they hadn't seen the transformation happen with their own eyes they wouldn't know which was the real Renzyl. As the real Renzyl let go of the crystal statue they saw that all traces of fox had been replaced with a black crystal dragon.
"A very important thing that you realize." They both said in unison. "Make sure you remember where you are, a mall filled with unsuspecting people. You cause a ruckus, expect an appropriate response. The only reason why they didn't just freak out from this particular transformation is the magic that surrounds us. There are agents of mine mixed in with the crowd of course, mostly to help with traps and such to make the game more... interesting. Speaking of which, this is a mall, it would be remise of us to not give you a little spending money for the various 'shops'."
The two dragons put down four thin envelopes on the table, all of them completely blank. There was a moment of hesitation before they darted their hands out for them, Merali grabbing an envelope first with Rhodes right behind hir, then Kon and finally Kurai. "Two-hundred 'Renzyl Dollars'?" The Flying fox said curiously as shi pulled the gift card out of the envelope. "What's a Renzyl dollar?"
"Ha, I got three-hundred." Rhodes said as he quickly pocketed the card. "What did the rest of you get?"
"Mine is four-hundred." Kurai said shyly, though a slight grin played on his muzzle.
But it was Kon whose smile was the biggest, and though he had wanted to keep his amount secret the other five anthros at the table continued to stare at him until he gave it up. "Five-hundred." He said finally, which caused the other three to balk slightly.
"Well well, it appears our more draconic players have gotten a leg up on the competition." The real Renzyl said as he fed his clone a piece of pasta from his tray, both of them clearly flirting with one another in a disturbingly identical fashion. "I assure you though that the envelopes were dropped at random, so there was no favoritism involved. Plus there are more chances to earn money throughout the mall, so if you find yourself strapped for cash then those opportunities are right up your alley. Now if you don't mind I want to get better acquainted with this sexy black dragon next to me, so your round starts... now!"
The four quickly bolted up from their chairs, which caused several patrons to look at them oddly as they waded into the crowd towards the various stores that the mall housed.
***********************************
"And we're off!" Chrono announced. "Round two of the Tournament of Transformation has officially begun! As Renzyl noted before getting caught up in his own narcissism, we have some differences from the last round. Players will have to rely on completely different attributes than in the combat heavy first round, though good physical stats will certainly have their parts to play as well. The four statues of the players have been distributed randomly to the various shops in the mall, not even their owners will know which ones they're in until someone makes a grab for it. All our contestants have also been given a random amount of money to spend on traps and enhancements, which will help ensnare and slow down the other players while boosting their own. Finally the shops themselves will have their own events, while most of the time they can buy something it may have also have an opportunity to get more money or even have a devious trap inside."
Once he was finished with his explanation, the silver raptor walked over to a large clear board that had what appeared to be a map of the mall on it. "We'll be monitoring their progress from here until we have an event that the cameras around the wall will display for us." He explained as four different-colored dots suddenly lit up on the green glass going in different directions. "If someone manages to get one of the flags, that player will have a halo around their dot indicating whose statue they grabbed. We've also integrated a new system to show vital stats such as the contestant's name, transformation progress, and money. Hopefully that will alleviate some of the confusion that was caused in the first round."
"As the second round continues we find that Drakocon is putting that wad of money he has to good use at the mall's information kiosk, Kurai has put her meager reserves into the mall security station, and Merali helped out at the health food store and put some coin on her card. But in an interesting turn we go live down to Rhodes in the mall's clothing store."
*************************************************
(Contestant: Rhodes, Transformation: 0%, Money: $300)
The human slowed from his run to a walk as he walked down the polished white floor of the mall's second floor, his speed attracting far too much attention of the crowd of furs. He knew he already stood us as a human, though he hadn't been looking he was pretty sure he hadn't seen another of his kind yet. With the menagerie of creatures about he knew there had to be others like him, but right now he was more concerned about quickly finding one of the three statues that would give him an advantage. The other three contestants had already disappeared into the crowd in opposite directions, no doubt with the same idea as him. He quickly ducked into the first store he could, which had rows upon rows of clothing in it.
No sooner had he stepped foot into the store then he heard an overly cheerful voice right next to him. "Good day sir, anything I can help you find?" A young tiger girl said as she got right up into his bubble of personal space. "You have a very nice style of clothing, and I think we have just the thing for you in the back!"
Before Rhodes could even say anything the girl grabbed him by the wrist and led him towards the back, nearly dragging him there with surprising strength. "You this direct with all your customers?" He asked jokingly as they went by a seemingly endless amount of clothing racks.
"Only the cute ones." She replied with a mischievous grin as she brought him to a rack that was filled with different styles of latex jackets and trenchcoats. "Speaking of, I think you would look absolutely handsome in one of these. Your latex jacket is alright, but I think this white trenchcoat would look really good on you! Why don't you let me hold yours while you give it a try?"
"Sure, why not?" Rhodes replied with a smile, even though it was hidden under his bandana as he sloughed off his coat and grabbed the white latex trenchcoat. "Hey, I don't suppose you've seen any crystal statues around here while you've been working? I'm in a type of game and if you could help me I would be most grateful."
"Mmmm, I might have." The tiger giggled. "What's in it for me?"
"Maybe I'll even take you out for... what the hell?" The human's thought was cut short as he looked down at the coat he was about to put on, only to find it was no longer the trenchcoat he had just been holding. Instead it looked like some sort of weird white unitard with full sleeves that ended with white latex cat paw gloves, with black stripes that ran down the back of his arms and down the spine. What made it even stranger was the tail that hung from the back, which almost seemed to move of its own accord as he held it.
"You're no fun." The tigress purred suddenly as she grabbed him by the wrist, her bubbly salesgirl personality replaced by something far more seductive. "I was going to have you be my little white tiger for a while. Don't you want to be my kitty, even for just a little bit?"
At first Rhodes was ready to push the crazy salesperson or whatever she was out the way so he could get back down to business, but as her honeyed words dripped into his ear he found himself losing focus. As he turned and looked at her all he could see were those big amber eyes of hers, locked in a pleading yet strangely still dominant tone. "I guess it couldn't hurt." He found himself saying, his arms seeming to move on their own as they put the partial catsuit on his body.
"Good kitty." The tiger purred as she watched him put the latex garment on his body, quickly stripping off the blouse and skirt she had been wearing. Rhodes paused slightly as he saw what she wore underneath, a series of black latex straps that connected to a very skimpy bra and panties. Whether it was an illusion or hiding under her clothes he could see that not only did she have a very generous bust but was also very athletic with muscles in all the right places. It made his arousal start to hurt in his jeans, the fabric tenting as one of her deft paws moved to put the latex around his legs.
Before the other half of suit could be put on, Rhodes suddenly realized the extremely compromising position he was in as the tigress continued to coo into his ear. "No way!" He shouted and tried to struggle away. "Get your paws off of me!"
"But you're almost done!" The tigress said, appearing slightly angry that the human had slipped her hypnotic collar before she could finish putting it on. Unfortunately for Rhodes the tigress was quite strong and before long he could feel the other sleeve get slipped onto his arm with startling acuity. "There!" She shouted as the latex sealed in place around his body, the seam disappearing once the two ends pressed together.
Rhodes felt her get off his body once the deed was completed, getting off the cold tile floor himself and making a run for a door. No sooner did he get to his feet then he was quickly knocked off them once more, something wrapping around his ankles. As he turned around again he found that the white latex had formed strips that bound his legs together. When he tried to crawl forward a similar fate happened to his arms, pulled behind his back as they formed several x-shaped harnesses between each other.
"Mmmm, it's a real shame I can't keep you." The tigress purred as she strode up to Rhodes struggling form, though he made no more headway. "But I promise I will make the most of our time together."
Rhodes tried to hurl an insult at the dominating tigress, but the 'collar' quickly seeped up and gagged him as it assimilated his bandana. All that he could do was grunt as she flipped him onto his back, an alien sensation of the tail he had seen wagging before now attached to his spine. The tigress kneeled down and slowly slid her latex-clad nethers up his body, a satisfying squeak of latex on latex heard as she kissed him on the nose. With the human restrained there was nothing he could do but be tormented under her assault of gropes and licks.
Despite the his anger he felt himself reacting to her stimulation, the latex stretching as his maleness began to engorge once more under her lustful ministrations. It no longer felt like his clothing was even there as he became completely aroused. She grinned down at him as her hips hovered above his latex-clad member, though it was still human in shape. As she inserted the tip into her folds, Rhodes lingering animosity was quickly replaced with one of pleasure as her depths pressed against him as she slowly slid down. Aside from the occasional bucking of his body all he could do was squirm as she lowered himself with unbelievable slowness.
"Oh yes, we're... ung... going to get along just fine." The tigress purred as their groins were pressed flush together, his maleness buried up to the hilt as they began to thrust into one another. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him up, his spine bending with unnatural flexibility as she buried his face in her chest as she gyrated on top of him.
****************************************************
"Oh dear, it seems we have the first casualty of the game." Chrono exclaimed with a small smile as the green dot that represented Rhodes suddenly had an X on it. "He got the advantage with seeing through that illusion, but couldn't wiggle out of that tigress's tongue in time."
"So while our human is 'restrained' for the next round or so, let us take a look at how the other contestants are faring. We have just been given word that Merali has found the clothing store as well, and with the sales tigress currently occupied shi is able to have hir pick of the special clothing options available. And what's this?" The raptor zoomed in on one section of the map in particular, where two dots were quickly coming closer together. "It appears we're about to see this game get very interesting as we go back down to mall level."
*********************************************************
(Contestant: Kon, Transformation: 0%, Money: $438)
(Contestant: Kurai, Transformation: 0%, Money: $142)
Kon whistled slightly to himself as he made his way down the concourse path, towards the store that the kiosk had been kind enough to point him towards. If their information was correct, then one of the other three contestant's statues was hidden somewhere within the mall. He had to admit that the concept of this game was rather fun, and found himself smiling at the other customers as he passed them. But that smile quickly became a look of perplexion as he got to the shop itself, unable to look through the black tinted windows at the shop within. He looked down at the small map that had been given to him, only to find that under the shop's number in the lexicon was the title 'specialty shop, 18+ age required'.
"A porno shop in a mall?" The purple dragon said as he curiously looked through the door. He discovered it to be a small hallway, just wide enough to accommodate him as he spied another door on the other side. Also occupying the tiny room was a large German Shepard anthro, black rubber pants and tight-fitting collar glistening in the light of the single naked bulb. As the dog got up and opened the other door he also noticed a silver chain attached to the wall and the collar, giving the guard just enough leeway to reach the inner door.
"Been given special instruction to let you guys in without a check." The huge bouncer instructed as he sat back in his chair and began to read his magazine once more. "Enjoy."
Kon was about to ask him what exactly was in the store, but it seemed that after his task was completed he had completely tuned the dragon out. When he padded inside the store, however, that question was almost completely asked for him. Inside was quite the smut shop that he had expected, instead it was adorned with everything out of a fetishist wet dream. He could see the standard bondage and latex stuff, but there was also a number of sex toys both mundane and bizarre as well as jars of stuff with strange labels on them.
The most startling thing though was the fox-dragon that was searching through the racks of strangely themed manga. "It's Kurai, right?" Kon said as he came up behind the other male, who jumped slightly and dropped the copy of 'Snakeskin' that he held. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you."
"Oh, it's alright." Kurai replied, avoiding eye contact as he put the book back on the shelf. "It's kind of crazy that we ran into each other like this."
"Yeah." Kon replied, though his focus had quickly gone off of their conversation and onto the shelves behind him. On it was a small crystal statue, a perfect scale replica of the fox-dragon in front of him. It was right out in the open; there was no way that Kurai wouldn't have seen it in his searching. His only guess was that they couldn't see their own statues, which meant that they probably couldn't interact with them either unless another player grabbed them.
"Well, I'm going to keep looking." Kurai said, this time startling Kon slightly as he turned back to their conversation. "Good luck, though you certainly don't need it with all the cash you're pocketing. I'm going to have to find work here pretty soon to get more myself. Speaking of which, I wouldn't stick around if I were you."
Kon nodded and followed the fox-dragon to the door, but after he let the other male through he stayed behind. With the other contestant gone he quickly ran back to the shelf, the chance to get the lead right in his grasp. Before he could through one of the shopkeepers, a naga with his body painted up in various colors of liquid latex, slithered up in front of him with a jar in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. "Care for a free sample of our newest gooey product?" He said as he put the brush into the red liquid.
"Um... no, I-" the dragon started to say before the brush full of stuff was thrust towards his face. Kon moved to dodge, but in his haste to dodge the sudden assault he accidently stumbled forward and bumped into the pushy salesman. As his weight pushed both of them down to the floor he heard the sound of the jar bouncing on the floor as well a cold feeling splash against his thigh. The naga looked up at him in horror as they laid on top of one of each other, as well as an awkward glimpse away as he could feel the naga shift under his scales.
"Well, this should be interesting." The naga said as he appeared to slowly relax from initial look of apprehension into one of acceptance. There was a shaky smile on his face that caused the Kon some concern, especially as he began to lose feeling in his leg as they laid there. He followed the naga's eyes down towards where his hind legs and the naga's lower section were pressed together, only to see that the naga seemed to be sinking into the floor along with his goo-covered left leg. Almost immediately he tried to pull the appendage away, only to find it completely unresponsive as the cold sensation started to spread up his right leg as well.
"Want to have some fun?" The naga said, a sly grin on his face as he tried to calm the panicked dragon. "There's nothing we can do about it now anyway, we may as well."
"What do you mean? What's happening to us?" Kon asked anxiously.
"The goo I was about to put on you was a trap paid for by the fox-dragon that just left." The naga explained. "Renzyl has given us a list of kinks that you enjoy, in order to try and entice you into the trap. Unfortunately I didn't expect myself to get ensnared by the same trap... since this body is basically a doll created for this game you will no doubt completely absorb it in our accidental merging. So I figure we could have one fling before I have to go back to my home plane, don't you?"
Kon couldn't deny that while it was frustrating to have the statue just out of his reach, the prospect of a gooey encounter was starting to arouse him terribly. "What of the statue?" He asked, trying to stay focused despite the naga's scales rubbing against his groin as they grew red and semi-translucent.
"I was supposed to move it when you were done." The naga replied. "It'll be waiting there now though for when you reform yourself."
The dragon wanted to ask more, but the other male knew his time was limited and brought their muzzles together in a deep kiss. Kon could taste cherries as their tongues twined around another, a string of red connecting their still extended tongues once they finished their making out. The goo had progressed much further on the naga then he realized, with every breath more of it seemed to bubble out of his mouth and nose, though it seemed to cause him more pleasure then actual pain. Meanwhile he could feel his tail begin to droop as the goo crawled up his lower back before it touched the growing puddle and quickly became engulfed.
"Better hurry..." the naga quipped with a smile as he took his non-gooified hand and spread his vent open, which deformed slightly as his other hand guided Kon's member towards it. Their breathing became ragged as his lust overwhelmed him and pushed himself down into the waiting opening. The force of his thrust pushed the naga's melting body even further down into the floor, as well as ensnaring his hips as the goo continued its relentless claim on his body. He could still feel himself buried in the other's body, even though both of their lower forms had become a mass of red goo. There was no need for him to thrust either, a constant massaging motion seemed to course through his body from his groin as his still solid arms tried to wrap around the naga's liquefied upper torso.
Soon only the naga's head remained above the surface of the puddle, both of their mouths open in blissful ecstasy as the dragon leaned his neck down to kiss once last time. As his muzzle pressed against the naga's, however, he was surprised when he sank right in and completely coated his maw. The red semi-solid fluid pushed into his nose, and before long he found himself almost eye level with the floor as his front arms dissolved into the puddle as well. Even though his body had become almost completely numb, the red spread all the way except for a small part of his back, a tantalizing pleasure seemed to accompany it. The feeling was indescribable, and he found himself trying to push more and more of himself into the puddle to try and increase the feeling.
As the last of his back and horns slipped under the puddle's 'surface', the entire substance shuddered slightly, the only indication of the shared orgasm between the two gooified scalies. As Kon's consciousness suffused itself through the puddle he realized that he wouldn't be reforming for quite a bit, though as he floated in the warm afterglow he was completely fine with that...
************************************************
The silver raptor jumped slightly as the feed was cut back to him, quickly putting the remote in front of him in a poor attempt to hide his own arousal as he grinned sheepishly. "Well, that just goes to show that truly anything can happen in his game." He said as he quickly moved back to his desk, trying to regain his composure. "With the statue so close in Kon's grasp he had better hope that no one else finds it first and takes it away from him next round! We'll also have Rhodes entering back into the fray as well as the other two contestants continue to search for the win. But before we go any further we're going to have a word from our sponsors. But don't turn that dial, more transformation action soon to follow in round 2 of the Tournament of Transformation!"
