#6 of Counting Stars

Ooof... This has been a rough couple of weeks for this piece. It was fun at first, planning and evening getting Jinx to join in this one. Making silly spinners and getting the different setups for each character in this little competition. But when it came to the writing of it... I'm going to be honest here: I feel like I'm losing my touch. Halfway through this, I lost all will to do anything inflation based. I didn't want to even think or consider other pieces, and my libido was lower than it's ever been. I can't say it's corrected, but...

Thing is, when it's that low, anything I attempt to write basically becomes garbage. I still feel like there's a little of that in one of these scenes, but I'm just... Tired of it. So this might be the last of the inflation stuff for a while. I've got a couple of other pieces planned, then I'm... I'm honestly not sure passed that. Writing from me might become more and more scarce.

But enough of the depressing stuff. Here's what to expect in this piece:

Inflation - As expected. With soft popping (no death/harm besides a little sting).

Competition - I rarely do this because it's just not... Fun, in my perspective. As someone who hates (not Detests. Hates.) PvP content, competitions just stress me out. This is honestly just very laid back and friendly, but regardless, it's still got some of the elements of one.

Bondage - Not specifically tied down to the ground or anything, but you'll see.

Random Factors - I mentioned a spinner before, think of this as more of a party game. Read it and you'll understand what I mean.

Over My Head By Bartan Tirix

"It's cold out here." The blue wyrm snorted, complaining once again while being carried by a much larger brass one. Still getting used to the strange movements of his thick shoulders as he traveled through the snow.

"You've said that already." Beo grumbled, starting to get a little irritated.

"About fourteen times." Another pair of dragons said together, another wyrm that was changing his red scales to an orange. Carrying the black, shiny looking anthro one on his back.

"But who's counting?" Jinx added in, unable to let go of Dia's neck.

"Then why are we in the middle of nowhere, and away from my space heater!?" Thea complained again.

"Fifteen." The red and latex dragons added.

"Actually, it's been eighteen times." A furred hexeped corrected, getting a couple of chirps from a wolfling and brassling that was riding him. That polar bear snout giving Dia'vidd and Jinx a nudge. "But yes, who's counting?

"Exactly-"

"That still doesn't explain why we're all out here-" Thea interrupted the black one, only to trail off and look around. Getting a noise in question from the behemoth he was being carried by. "Oh no..."

"What?" Everyone else looked at the blue one as he whimpered.

"...It's happening again, isn't it?" Those blue frilled ears fell as everyone looked at him in confusion. "We're being watched, and that means..." A long loud whine as those maroon eyes nearly glared at the polar bear.

"I'm not sure what you're talking about, but this feels like a good spot."

"A good spot for what?" Thea snorted at him. "-And don't say to _Sessionize_or anything of the sort!"

"We can't do that anyway." Everyone double taked at Bartan for a moment, who only motioned towards the young ones on his back.

"You're all still under punishment!" The wolfling playfully scolded.

"And you'll remain censored until we say so!" The small brass one added.

"What are we doing out here then!?"

"We're getting you warmed up." Beo stated, getting the glare from his current lazy rider.

"...By walking in the cold snowy fields of Irony?" The blue one grumbled, shuffling his wings for warmth, especially when a chilling breeze picked up.

"He does have a point though." The large furred one said. "Let me build us a shelter real quick."

"I don't like the sound of this." Another grumble as Thea got a squeeze from those red furred wings after. Making the smaller (adult) wyrm growl a bit before yelping in surprise when several large walls came up from the snow to build a shelter. Something with a few acres of floorspace, fully floored with fresh varnished hardwood, and a small stage. Everyone taking a moment to observe the strange setup before Thea whimpered loudly. "Is it too late to just go home?"

"Yes." Dia teased, already getting excited and letting the latex anthro dismount him. "Who's going to start first?" A growl from the blue one that turned into a groan of helplessness.

"You'll be fine, Blueballs." Beo grumbled back. Sitting down and letting the smaller blue one slide off his back.

"You've been hanging around the fox woman too long." Thea snorted. "Now what's all this about-?" A large tanked device suddenly came up from the stage floor, making him yelp and scamper behind the titan for shelter.

"Only one?" Dia asked the bear in disappointment, turning those scales blue, then to yellow when Bartan just smiled at him.

"I'm not sure I like the look of that." Jinx added.

"I was thinking of having some fun with this one. More of a small competition of sorts." The fluffy one said, feeling the two troublemakers chirp and jump over to the large compressor.

"Competition-?"

"I *really* don't like the sound of this...!" Thea interrupted the others.

"Yes. Why not, while we have a guest here?" A polar snout nudged the black anthro.

"Well, it was his idea to begin with to fill Thea full of warm air so he-" Dia started.

"What!?"

"Would stop complaining." Jinx continued. "Though apparently he's going to keep interr-"

"Why me!?" Everyone stopped and looked at the blue wyrm for a moment, making him whimper and dropping his wings, ears, and tail. "Please don't-" A large brass paw along his backside pinned him down. "Please do." He whined, actually getting the brass wyrm to chuckle slightly.

"But what do you mean by competition?" The curious (now) yellow wyrm questioned. Hearing the pump turn on for a moment, getting everyone's attention while the little gave a signal of confirmation.

"Just a little game we came up with last minute." The bear explained, getting a couple of looks of disbelief. Eventually making that white snout toss. "Okay, it's been in the works for quite some time, but it'll be fun. I promise."

"Just as long as we don't get interrupted every ten seconds." Jinx half grumbled. "Beo."

"I'm on it." The large brass one stated, getting off Thea for a moment as the blue wyrm made a whimper in question. Only to find himself completely pinned down by the beast of a dragon and have his muzzle tied with a cloth. Whimpering loudly and squirming in pleasure as the brass one playfully growled at him. "Continue, FD."

"Here's what I'm thinking: We'll go one at a time, with someone else adding a little bit of interest to the session." A couple of purrs in question with one muffled whimper, especially when the floor further back opened up and three spinners emerged. Then the whimpers and struggles increased. "These will determine who will be assisting in the inflation, as well as setting the pressure intake to whatever they wish. However, the inflator will also be tying the subject up with a 'Rope' of sorts, chosen by the second spinner."

"And the third?" Dia questioned, whimpering and turning purple when he read one of the sections; x4 pressure.

"The third will be some added bonus effect, just to make it that much more fun." Bartan said, rather cheerfully. "The little ones will be in charge of the spins and supplies, while we'll all take turns attempting to get the biggest-" Another whimper, from the purple dragon this time. "while breaking free from the binds." A higher pitched one. "Sounds like fun?"

"Sure." The large brass one said, hearing a series of whines from Thea and translating. "He says he's all for it too." A near hiss from the pinned wyrm.

"Granted, this will still have to be censored, sadly. So Dia, you're in charge of turning the subject into an inflatable." A third whimper as the now bright red one clamped his own muzzle shut, wagging his tail drastically back and forth in excitement. "Alright, let's see who our first pair will be!" The bear gave the signal for the smaller ones to activate the first spinner: one with all their names on it and two arrows. With a bit of acrobatics, the wolfling gave the device a large spin, causing the wheel and the two points to start circling around for a few moments. Eventually stopping at... "Thea will be our first!"

"Oh, of course!" The blue wyrm grumbled loudly. And quite clearly, considering his muzzle was bound.

"Being inflated by Dia!" A sharp whimper of dread and excitement went on par with each other as the bright red dragon nearly chirped and spun around in circles. Getting the bear to chuckle. "Okay, let's see what your material will be." Another signal for the Troublemakers as they moved onto the next spinner and activated it. "Braided Leather Belts!" A double take from the group as a large reel popped up from the stage floor. "They can be as long as you want, and you can use as many as you want."

"Braided...?" The now yellow Dia looked closer at the belts, finding that they could be fastened at nearly anywhere along the length of the strip. Studying the V-woven pattern as he took a long one in his paws before double taking at the last spinner again. "Then what's this...?"

"Just for that extra kick." The Counterweight smiled, nodding at the little ones as they activated the wheel. Having several pairs of eyes stare at it intently as it landed on... "+Weight! Meaning, someone of Thea's choosing will be on top of them when the pump starts. Going along for the ride."

"My choosing...?" The blue one whimpered, pawing the strap off his muzzle and looking around. "What about one of the smaller critters?"

"They're not participating past spinning these things and spectating." Bartan teased him, getting Thea to grumble and feel the brass one add a little more weight onto his body.

"Do you mind, Beo-?"

"Beo it is!" A sharp whimper from the smaller wyrm, as the bear nearly shouted. Trying to contain his chuckle as those maroon eyes stared at him, nearly frightened yet... Terribly excited. Causing that blue tail to wag as that large purple tongue licked his head. "Actually..."

"No." The blue one growled.

"Spin it again." A hiss from Thea that was ignored, watching in both enthrallment and terror as the bonus wheel slowly came to a stop. "Focus! Meaning: the inflator, Dia, gets to choose which body part the device will focus on first."

"B-body part...?" Dia stuttered, whimpering and turning purple.

"It can be as vague or specific as you like. Just, again, must be uncensored areas. So no weapon bloating." Bartan teased, getting the two younger adults to lock eyes for a few moments.

"...Can I do underside?" A loud whimper in response from Thea.

"The entire underside? Sure. Or do you intend to stop at a specific part?"

"Entire underside." A solid nod from the bear as he motioned Rev and Lex, seeing the two scamper to the large compressor and adjust a few things. Giving a signal of confirmation as Dia went to work. Receiving a series of whimpers, until the purple one locked lips with Thea. Instantly silencing him while turning those scales a bright pink, barely noticing Beo getting off him temporarily as the blue wyrm nearly melted in Dia's touch. One that was slowly causing those scales to become rather shiny, reflecting the several dozen lights overhead.

Slowly Thea's shell became more and more glossy, as the rest of his body started to become vinyl. Spreading across as if he were emerged in a thin paint, reducing his body weight as his insides became nothing more than air. Yet, still able to paw at the larger dragon's pink neck, submitting quickly as the process slowly came to a conclusion. Their tongues parting and the belt Dia was holding was suddenly wrapped around that blue muzzle. Making the two whimper in pleasure, especially when the behemoth started holding him down while the inflator gathered several more straps.

Dia'vidd fastened them along his body like a series of stripes, starting from that muzzle and skipping most of Thea's head until about the mid-neck. Tying them tightly one by one as his pooltoy-like body lightly bulged around them, and leaving a rather obvious plug where his tailhole would be quite vacant. Wishing he could just jump on the bound toy right now and blow it up himself, but he needed to contain himself. Another time... Another time... For now, he pressed the hose inside the valve where it sealed in quite tightly.

A gaze over to the bear for further instructions, and Bartan nodded. "Okay, now you can choose the pressure, as well as the flow of the pumps." A purr in curiosity as the twins pointed on the side of the compressor. "To keep it simple, we've just made it into several different modes: from Low pressure to very high. Possibly even more, if you wanted to really push it higher." A sharp whine in excitement, but to everyone's surprise, he left it on average. Though slightly on the choppy side, looking at the furred one for confirmation. "All set?"

"Y-yes." He replied shyly, hearing the blue wyrm whimper loudly, especially when Beo got the signal to pick him up and move him off the stage. Into a laid out zone in the open floor, setting him down and resting his behemoth of a body on top of Thea. Feeling him squirm underneath and getting a playful growl from the massively heavy dragon. "C-can we...?" A look in question from the Counterweight. "Touch...?"

"Anyone may enjoy the expansion when it starts, yes. However, if anyone starts to claw or attempt to prematurely burst them; the victim will get full points, and the convict will take his place for the remainder of the inflation-" An excited whimper got Bartan to chuckle. "It's supposed to be a punishment, not something to be excited about!" He teased.

"So, we're allowed to dragon hug them?" Jinx asked, getting a nod in confirmation as the rest started to head off the stage to join the bound pooltoy.

"Just don't try to put too much weight on him. Only Beo is currently qualified to do so."

"Because of the Weight Plus, right?" Another nod at the latex dragon as they greeted the brass and blue one with a couple of pets and nudges. "Guy has more belts than an anime protagonist." They chuckled as that large purple tongue lapping at Thea's head and spineful mane, anticipation getting him to nearly sing until the pump activated. Feeling a tad bit of pressure as the hose thickened up, almost being able to feel the first bulge in the tube move from the compressor. Dia's pawsteps moving alongside it while joining the others, the blue wyrm squirming again and getting Beo to playfully bite his neck. Getting a high pitched whimper when that first bulge squeezed inside his undertail.

It was a huge rush through his elastic body, sending a large ripple through it as the heavy weight squished him. Causing those belted sides to bubble out a little further with every added pump, feeling the effects of the Focus stretch out his entire underside; from throat to tailtip, before anything else. Several paws were felt studying the effects within, as the air grew warmer and warmer.

Relaxing, the best word Thea could place over it out of everything. Just this comforting warmth that was so much better than a simple space heater, able to tend to his entire body, feeling it flow through even his wing branches. Turning those whines into near purrs of pleasure, as his belly attempted to push outwards. Not noticing just how tight those belts were until the groans against his form started, really bloating out between each strap and already pushing Beo to his standing position. Then the pressure increased...

Several licks and nudges came with the affectionate hugs, as Thea continued to grow bigger and bigger. Very quickly losing the ability to become mobile right from the start, but with every thick pulse, that entire underside was getting more and more taut. Bulging thicker and thicker, looking like the plates of the beast on top of him. The added weight only putting more pressure onto that belly as it groaned loudly, rubbing against the audience while attempting to swallow those brass pillars.

Those blue scales started to thin out more and more, nearly causing those who gazed over it to see their own reflection. A long stressful whine from the inflatee concerned the group for a moment as that belly grew drastically tighter, getting them to step back for a moment before the very middle belt snapped loudly. Pushing poor Dia away with a loud _thuum!_as the buildup in the hose rushed in. Snapping a second, then a third! Quickly causing the bloated blue underside to intake more and more as the pressure increased again, continuing the chain reaction.

His normal body was taking in a bit of the slack, yes. Looking rather chubby as those blue cheeks swelled like a couple of bubbles, however, that underside and tail was taking a massive portion of warm air. Rubbing up against the behemoth and his stance, nearly growling at the struggle and the slight stings of the belts snapping against Beo's limbs once in a while. But he remained defiant for as long as possible before Thea's sides pushed his paws out from under him.

This caused that belly to take in the entire weight of the brass beast, stretching those sides out further and further. Thinning out greatly as the compressor continued to pump more and more air into his ballooned body. Swelling it in thick pulses, causing it to bounce while taking Beo for a small ride. Pushing him up higher and higher towards the lights, while very few belts remained; mostly the ones on his ends.

But the titan was too heavy, causing those bloated sides to start to move up over the two wyrms. Like a pair of slowly inflating waves, forming a large blue bowl that was only getting thinner as the pressure increased! Hearing Thea whimper loudly and attempt to struggle a bit as his cheeks bloated up more, unable to get that final belt around his muzzle off and win! Or at least get a solid lead in the games.

However, that victory was soon snatched out from him, seeing the end of his muzzle swell up as well. Sealing the strap onto his snout, one that was very unlikely able to break before his belly would. Feeling it reach the size of a mansion before the alerting tautness was detected, the groans growing in pitch. Matching his own whines as the device continued to force feed his valve with more and more air. Pumping his overstretched scales and making that once blue inflatable bowl bigger! Larger! Coming to a large stalemate before finally bursting loudly in the building.

Hitting the ground with a loud squeak, before getting flattened by the heavy titan over him. Quickly getting up and hearing Thea whimper loudly before popping back into the third dimension. "You okay?" A whine in reply as that brass snout nudged him. The compressor shutting off soon after, and a large scoreboard was shown overhead. The numbers 11,200 being displayed.

"Not a bad score, Thea. Granted, I think the odds were slightly against you." Bartan playfully teased, giving those blue frilled ears a few licks as his form was returned. "Come, you can have a rest. But first:" A weak noise in question as the hose was pressed against his blue rear, causing him to yelp and attempt to scamper back up as his belly once again inflated with warm air. Nearly knocking the breath out of him and panting in pleasure as it became quite rounded, but not too much.

Soon, the gather air from the device was used up and the young wyrm was left with a chubby bulge in his underside. Warm and rather comfortable, making him purr, especially when others started to press against it in affection. At least before Beo carried him back up to the stage, everyone following as the little ones moved to the first spinner once again. "Yep! Let's see who's next." Bartan stated, tending to the blue one as the spinner came to a stop, then double taking at his own name. "Oh."

"That's interesting." Beo purred, the two motioning for a second spin to see who would be tending to the furball. Only for it to stop on the titan's name, giving the Counterweight a prideful smirk as the bear chuckled. "It's fate, I swear."

"Yes, yes. No one is tampering with these." They shared a small kiss as the Binding disc was spun, slowly going around and stopping at... "Rubber Bungee Cords?"

"Makes me wonder just how sharp you've made the hooks of them." A deep purr from the brass one as the bonus spinner was activated. Beo holding onto the large furball from behind and growling in pleasure when it landed on Extra Hoses. Though, nudging for an explanation for such a thing, loving how it was making the white one blush.

"Just what it sounds like: your choice of how many extra hoses. Granted, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10, but I might go with-"

"Twelve." A whimper from the polar bear as the brass one ordered a respin, grinning deviously when it landed on Extra Hoses again. "Make that twenty-four." Another loud whimper as Bartan's blush increased. "If only we weren't censored, you know how much I enjoy stuffing your holes." A loud chuckle as those brass paws stroked him.

"Wait, how does that work?" Jinx asked, getting everyone to double take for a moment. Then it clicked into the others as well. "If it's all coming from the same source..."

"Then the volume of the pump's tank would just be spread evenly." Dia added, following the latex anthro's lead. Making the bear ponder for a moment.

"We could add more... Compressors." Bartan added, almost getting excitedly shy.

"You really want to add 24 compressors here?" Thea snorted, trying not to enjoy laying on his warm belly so much.

"Good point... What if we doubled the tank size for each extra hose? I'll make them underground, that way..."

"It's double the volume intake, rather than just adding another device?" Dia pondered. "The overall pressure should remain the same, just divided along each hose."

"So the volume is increased, whereas..." Jinx looked over at the spinner, specifically the x4 Pressure one.

"You guys think too much." Beo snorted, carrying the yelping bear over to Dia. Pushing the latex dragon inbetween those two with his talents and squishing the guest between Dia and Bartan. Providing a four person hug while the now pink one snatched the white muzzle for a deep kiss. "Do your work, I've got a net to make."

The two did so, grinding over each other while giving Jinx a rather tight hug, one that eventually lead to Dia being pushed onto his back. A few minutes passed, but there seemed to be no change in the bear's appearance, making the pink one whimper in question just as the behemoth returned. "Does it not work on...?"

"It does." The brass one stated, wrapping a large series of bungee cords in the shape of triangles over the Counterweight and giving him a squeeze. Making the bear whimper loudly as other parts of his body swelled to make up for the pressure. "He's just got so much fur that it's very hard to see." Beo mounted over the three, putting his heavy weight over them while locking that blanket of cords over the furred one. "Now... I want some more valves..."

"J-just... Tell me where." Bartan panted, hearing the pump turn on and start to charge up those extra tanks while the beast lapped at his mates for a few moments. Motioning the furball to get into position before getting off and setting the device: high pressure and steady flow. Taking the two dozen hoses and pulling them off the stage while meeting up with the others, purring loudly when those three furred tails presented towards the largest dragon.

But the behemoth continued a little further down, sitting on Bartan's shoulders and neck while keeping those white presented haunches just under his metallic plated chest. Digging through the fur until a certain valve was found and lightly pulling it with his fangs, making the bear under him whimper in excitement as a hose was placed in. Then another, getting him to gasp with every new addition. 4... 5... 6... A cry as each one was stuffed inside the already tight plug, causing the Counterweight to blush deeply in red. Painting his entire muzzle as he panted loudly, that tongue starting to hang out the side of his maw.

7... 8... 9...! A very deep moan of bliss as those haunches squirmed, his valve feeling so tight and overstretched. Even causing those who were watching such a thing to become quite enthralled... But Beo wasn't done. Merely giving the bear a small break before continuing.

10... 11... 12! Each one causing Bartan to squirm and yelp loudly as they barely squeezed inside. Leaving no extra room, and having a bit of a struggle with the 12th one, causing the brass one to playfully snort. "Shame. But alright, 13 left to go..." That large paw stroking underneath those three fluffy tails, sliding up to their tips and gnawing at them a little bit, hearing the hexeped whimper in response. "Come now. You have to follow the rules like everyone else." Another whine, one of submission that was really getting to the titan's ego. Finding another plug and pulling it free before stuffing it with a tube, getting a large reaction out of the Counterweight.

A second one. Then a third! Nearly too much for such a small valve as the dragon made sure it was nice and secure. Moving to the next tail and stuffing it's end with three hoses, then the final one. "I was hoping to get four into those, but oh well. I'm running out of holes to fill..." Beo took the remaining five and finally dismounted the bear. Moving to that muzzle and kissing it deeply as that white fur nearly turned red with blush, knowing what was coming, especially when a large tug was spotted. Getting some extra slack before placing the remaining hoses in that furred maw. Tying it with a strap, not a bungee cord, before licking the bear between the brown eyes. Teasing his ears before the compressor was finally finished preparations. "Ready?" The large dragon asked, knowing the answer regardless while the others gathered around.

They touched the very soft fur coat, almost unable to find his vinyl body and the rubber bungees within such a winter forest. Completely lost after a few strokes, yet it was surprisingly loose. Likely to change as the Troublemakers waited for a signal from their scaly father. Taking a few moments until Bartan nearly whimpered in anticipation... Along with the others surrounding him before seeing the motion from that brass paw.

The device started up with an uproar, and each of the 25 hoses thickened up slowly. Prowling up to the practically bound bear with patience as each tube filled up to their connectors before completely flanking his inner body. Causing it to swell up in a matter of moments and the Counterweight to sing in whines. A slow amount of pressure, compared to what they were expecting, but a massive amount of volume caused those tails and cheeks to bloat out greatly. Becoming long balloons and large spheres before moving in further.

Every other part of his body seemed to sync up, causing his belly, sides, and back to all expand quickly. Pressing up against the bungee net deep within his fur while those six limbs started to swell outwards. Hearing his body creek with low groan before the pressure on the device increased, pumping more and more air into that furred balloon and making Bartan quickly round out. That belly nearly slamming against the ground before those tails and cheeks doubled in size.

The legs were next, again, before those hugging sides, chest, and back forced his body to become more oval-like. Really starting to make out the curves of his dense body as more warm air continued to pump into it. Straining against the flexible rubber cords and starting to bubble out inbetween each triangle within the net. Completely immobilizing the furball a few moments later when his bloated paws couldn't reach the ground. Even when the pressure increased again, causing all those un-netted areas to expand drastically, nearly turning the polar bear into a soccerball/football with limbs.

A slight stalemate was felt within the hollow body before those cords stretched out further, increasing Bartan's overall size to that of a mansion and overshadowing Thea's max one. Towering over the group, but at a cost; now feeling the several dozen points of alarm where the hooks started to press against his fragile form. Making the Counterweight attempt to whimper over the groan of his car-sized cheeks. His tails looking that of a medium sized boat each, only growing bigger and bigger with every bit of air he was force-fed.

The creeks were growing louder and louder, as the cords cut deeper into his bloated form. Feeling the hooks press against those walls and drag a little harder with every moment, expanding little by little. Until feeling something give! One of the straps underneath, causing one large area on his lower side to start taking in more and more volume. Throwing the spherical bear slightly off balance as the pressure jolted upward! Pressing up harder against the net until another piece snapped! Causing a small chain reaction of the bottom half to give out and his belly to swell greatly.

Too great, however. Bulging outwards while his upper body and back was stretching into those hooks too much! Feeling every sharp press like nails while his other limbs started to take too much of that warm air. His cheeks the size of a large home, tails the size of ships! Arms and hinds bloated out so massively, they looked like small dome stadiums! That belly still swelling up more and more, until a full-on pierce was felt. Stinging the Counterweight, but not completely bursting him!

Then another! Another! A series of small holes that were quickly occupied by their metal attacker! Yet the airflow was just too much, blowing the furred blimp bigger and bigger as the air hissed loudly! Almost overpowering the constant creeks until he eventually exploded suddenly through the massive room. Floating down from the high point and being caught by the brass one as they shared a deep kiss, one that lasted quite a while. "Easy now." Beo chuckled, only hearing the bear whimper loudly in reply. Pawing at that large chest and shoulders as if to beg for it. "I know, I know. But like Dia, you have to wait for permission."

Several deep breaths as the furred one forced himself to a composed state, eventually nodded and getting a couple of licks along the cheek. Unable to keep himself from smiling brightly as he calmed down, though the continuous strokes were not making it easy. "O-okay... Okay. I'm alright."

"You sure?" Beo teased him, getting a whimper and a few nods. "Alright then, let's see what your score is." The two looked up at the board to find a 14,675. "I honestly expected more from that size."

"Yes, but most of that was size alone." A noise in question from the others. "Thea was smaller, yes, but he ended up breaking more of his binds than I did. I honestly barely broke anything."

"I made them too well, is that what you're saying?" A whine as the bear blushed and nodded. "I still think I could've made you bigger if I wanted to..." A sharper whine as Jinx tapped that metallic side of his, getting a double take from the green eyes, which were then directed towards the troublemakers. Giving a glare of disapproval and making the behemoth sigh in disappointment. "Fine, fine. No more attempting to convince him to overrule your censoring."

"I still find it odd how you're taking orders from your children." The latex dragon teased, getting a nudge from Dia as they approached the stage again. Watching the wheel spin around to see who the next contestant would be, watching it slow down and land nearly on the line between Beo and Dia. Making the now red wyrm whimper as the Troublemakers studied it.

"Beo!" The brass one curled his neck at his smaller counterpart.

"It's very close, but it's just slightly closer to SD than Dia." The wolfling explained.

"Figures." The titan grumbled, hearing the wheel spin again while still holding his white furball.

"You're quite the popular one today." Bartan teased, getting a nudge and a lick from that purple tongue. "You watch, it's going to be me-"

"Jinx!" A double take from everyone, as they looked at the spinner themselves. Clearly seeing it land on the black dragon's name while the little ones spun the second wheel.

"Well, that's unexpected." The largest one snorted, looking at the smaller one's light grey eyes. "Should be easy enough to break a few-"

"Chains!" Another double take from the brass one, as a reel of thick chains came from the floor. Actually getting a slightly worried look from those green peppered eyes.

"Can I ask for a bit of assistance with the binding?" The latex one asked, getting a nod from Bartan. "Dia?"

"Gladly!" The red one chirped, getting half a grumble from the behemoth. Feeling a couple of taps from the Counterweight and tossing his snout.

"I'll behave and let the little ones have their way with me-"

"Substance Change!" Lexar shouted excitedly, letting everyone gaze at the bear for a definition.

"Instead of air, the inflator, Jinx, can change the substance to anything they wish." Another neck curl from Beo, as he looked back and forth between the furball and the latex anthro.

"Anything?" A nod from the white one, as he pondered. "What about..." He leaned in to whisper to the hexeped, but looked over at the titan basically holding Bartan up. Getting a signal from the furball to not listen in, and a snort from the large one in reply. Heading off the stage to meet up with Dia, helping him carry the chains over while the two whispered.

"Okay, yes." The counterweight stated rather optimistically. "Unexpected, but sure. I can make that."

"No extra cost?"

"Well... Normally it would require another substance change, but I'll just make an exception. I honestly was just going to change Substance into a re-spin if it was chosen twice, so." The two walked over to the large device and the bear set it up while Jinx set the pressure and flow. Seeing the second spin land on Focus and getting the latex dragon to grin, setting that up too.

"Jinx? How do you want the chains setup?" The now orange wyrm asked, getting playful nudges from that metallic snout.

"Just coil it around him tightly for now." A low grumble was heard from Beo as he took one end of the chain with his jaws and submitted to the smaller wyrm. Feeling him control the large steel links as they coiled around his neck and over his chest, not blocking any air flow. Passing through his large wings, as if they were not even there, though around the branches. Getting to the hinds and looking at the anthro for further instructions. "Let's try like..." He motioned the chain under the hind legs and across the undertail before going over the hips again. Nearly making a large X with the chains when looking from the top, and leaving those haunches exposed.

A slight grumble from the behemoth as he looked back and seen where this was going. Especially when it started wrapping around his tail like the rest of his body, tightening it up until there was next to no movement. Fastening it together at the tail end, then the muzzle end while Dia kissed the brass one. Spreading his 'pandemic' and turn those already shiny scales into a much more glossier version, even shifting his body's volume a bit to his exposed limbs. Bulging those large biceps from the weight and constraint of the chains and making the bear whimper loudly as he approached them.

When the transformation was complete, and a valve under that brass tail was found, a large hose was pressed inside. Getting Beo to grumble in embarrassment as everyone around came to witness, pressing against his armored vinyl scales that were still surprisingly tough. Waiting in anticipation for Jinx to give the signal, sharing eye contact with the beast of a wyrm for a moment as he grumbled again, trying not to show his excited bearded grin as the motion was carried out.

The device kicked in, sounding rather differently as it had a hard time to start up. The hose swelling up massively, to about the volume of Thea (who is about the size of a four-doored car) before inching towards Beo's rear, making those red frilled ears almost fall as he nearly turned pale. The massive bulge pushing his wrapped tail upwards as it approached his haunches, getting a strange... Lighter feeling as the strange gasses started to enter his body.

Soon after, a strange fizzy liquid poured into his hollow form. Really getting those haunches swell up drastically as the rest of his body barely changed. Thickening up into very large balls as they nearly wobbled with weight and the titan released a growl... Hearing his voice start to increase in pitch, but not due to pressure. Actually transform his vocals higher and making his huffs sound a bit silly.

The second bulge soon followed up, more than doubling those hinds and easily making them equal to his entire body volume. Causing him to drop them on the floor, they were so heavy and awkward as the device continued to pump more and more into those twin bubbles. Every two massive bulges in the hose doubling the size of those golden orbs, turning them into ovals as the heavy fluids inside pressed against the side walls. Letting those brass scales roll over the smooth flooring with every extra load of strange soda.

Then the machine started making a strange noise, concerning almost everyone and especially Beo. However, it kept running, filling up the hose again with hundreds upon hundreds of... Pebbles? And sending them through. Pushing them into the brass behemoth's tailhole where they started to fizz loudly upon contact, immediately connecting what the white small rocks were: breath mints. Mixing with what felt like carbonated soda of sorts...

A whimper was barely made out when it morphed into a cute growl as those haunches expanded greatly and suddenly! Bulging from the size of a few trailers each to apartment buildings in one load, with another one at the doorstep! Bloating those massive ovals into spheres and very quickly beating all other records in terms of size before the first pressure increase was felt.

Yet, not a single chain was broken yet! That tail being force fed and the Focus being set on Beo's magnificent behind, those brass blimps continued to enlarge greater and greater with every addition of the device. Now alternating between solids and liquids, causing those bubbles to grow far passed the volume of car parkinglot buildings as they started to push the others (and the titan himself) forwards to make up for the room.

The haunches reached the stage easily, but it acted like an invisible barrier while the device kept sending up van-sized bulges up and into those wide golden hills. Causing them to grow massively bigger with every addition and wobble greatly, barely getting anything in his upper body still. Feeling the foamy bubbles and hissing liquids slosh around inside as the flow continued to made them bigger, nearly creating quakes as the squished globes started to thin out faintly. Groaning loudly and almost whining when the pressure increased again! Getting them to resist a bit while the hose started to back up, finding it difficult to squeeze the soda and mints into those dense cheeks that were borderlining skyscraper volumes!

But with the thickening of the hose, it created an open pathway directly into Beo's body. Pouring all that built up pressure and hearing it sizzle loudly like a bomb's fuse, counting down and weakening those thinned out vinyl walls. Eventually exploding and sending those massive hinds to expand outwards, slamming against the walls of the actual building and soon up to its ceiling about four miles up from the floor.

High pitched growls from the helium altering Beo's voice as he struggled to keep those hinds together, growing tighter and tighter with every reaction. Only to create more pressure as the yellow faded into transparent foamed spheres, finally bloating up his belly and chest ever so slightly. However, those haunches just weighed too much to make use out of the rest of his body. Getting those massive blimps to groaning loudly once more... Twice... Three times-! Creaking in pitch as the twin bubbles fought for any possible space before finally giving out; sending foam and sticky helium infused soda everywhere.

It took a few moments for the area to become clean and foam free, instantly spotting the large behemoth lying on the ground quite far from where he started. No longer toyetic, but still wrapped in chains and huffing. Purple blush invading his ears and muzzle, with that same colored appendage lolling out the size of his maw as he caught his breath. Hearing the bear chuckle and flick a frilled ear as the furred one approached, glancing at the scoreboard that was a solid 10,000. "That was quite a sight-"

A sudden pounce from the brass one pinned down Bartan as that draconic muzzle latched onto his. Making the white one whine loudly and submit to the very deep kiss, the heavy huffs from the beast still exhaling heat and actually blowing up that furred underside a bit before hearing their pup and wyrmling bark at them from the stage.

"Hey!"

"Enough!" They growled from afar, needing Dia and Thea to attempt to break them up, only to get snatched up and involved. Then dragging the latex dragon into the pile with a surprised yelp. Causing the two smaller ones to share an irritated look before moving over to a switch on the side of the stage, one that caused several cannons to appear on the apron of it (the edge). Then fire large lassos that snagged a tail separately, then reeled each one in while giving them space.

The contestants were panting by the time they reached the stage, a few of them having some rounded undersides as they attempted to compose themselves. Still feeling the irritated glares from the two in charge and slightly whimpering like young ones in trouble. "To be fair..." Jinx started, getting their attention. "You should've expected this to happen, if you were going to try something like this." The Troublemakers sighed in defeat.

"Yes."

"We know." They half grumbled, as the brassling continued. "But we still have two more to go!"

"Keep it in your slits and sheaths until then, and you can have your session!" The rest of them nodded in agreement as the two chirped. Scampering to the wheel and giving it one last spin. "Let's see who it lands on first!"

"Between Dia and Jinx!" The now purple wyrm whimpered loudly as it slowly stopped at his name. Getting him to shift to a red, and almost vibrate in excitement. "Dia! Being tended by...?"

"FD!" The bear's ears perked up, sharing a look with the bright red dragon and smiling. Getting up to nudge each other and share a kiss, turning the submissive wyrm into a vinyl form as the spins continued.

"Coarse Nylon Rope!" Lexar chirped, causing a muffled whimper from the red one as he groped that furred belly. Waiting for the transformation to complete, and then some before getting to the reel. Though, Bartan stopping in place for a moment when the spinner stopped. "x4 Pressure!" A louder whimper of excitement left Dia, as the wheel turned.

"x4 Pressure again!"

"So, x8 pressure?" Thea questioned, returning to his spot on the stage and noticing the bear's ears blushing deeply.

"A-actually... More of a x4 of the x4. So... x16." He stated, getting several ropes to bind the wyrm currently holding his muzzle shut in excitement. Nearly spinning in circles as the hexeped started moving towards him, presenting those haunches and a special plug for the bear to nuzzle and lap a bit as he whined loudly. Feeling the used rope across his back and sides in several sections while that white muzzle teased him.

Yet, the straps felt rather loose when Bartan went back for the hose and settings. Looking over the harsh feeling rope and recognizing the knots that tied the two ends together as Double Constrictors: a knot that would only get tighter as it's pulled. "Flow... A bit choppy..." The furball spoke out loud, smirking brightly when Dia's whine was detected. "Pressure? Medium...? High...? _ Very _High...?" The whimpers climbed in pitch as the bear chuckled. Spotting those blue eyes just watching him and greeted them with a devious smile, turning the knob as far as it could go without looking at it and just returning back to the over-excited dragon with the hose in his while maw. Seeing Beo and Jinx start to follow him. "I wouldn't hug him this time around."

"It can't be that bad." Beo snorted, ignoring the warnings.

"Then you can enjoy being thrown to next Tuesday." Thea grumbled from his spot. "I prefer not to have a concussion."

"Kresskre." The titan teased, nudging Dia and double taking at the ropes. "Bear, you do know that these are loose, right?"

"Yep. That was intentional." A puzzled look from those green eyes as the hose was plugged in. Overlooking the other dragons hugging the vinyl one and sighing. "Alright, if you're doing it, I'll do it too. Rev? Lexar? Will you do the honors?"

"R.I.P!" They chirped as they flicked the switch, hearing the machine warm up before sending warm air in thick bulges very quickly. Dia whimpering until the very first blast rushed into his tailpipe, almost instantly sending his belly to the ground and filling up all the give the ropes had to offer. Causing them to tighten up greatly as the rest of his body swelled drastically from the second bulge, packing quite the punch against those who were attempting to enjoy such a thing. Almost stunning them until the next pump forced itself inside.

Every limb doubled in volume with two servings of the device, including that tail and paws. That belly shoving the others back with every blast as it attempted to warp around the harsh textured rope, nearly feeling like chicken wire against his increasingly fragile form. Every bit it air seemed to focus in all areas as it stretched that valve wide, hearing the machine gear up in pressure and force every body part of Dia's to inflate even faster. Bulging those cheeks into large spheres, along with his neck and chest. Those haunches bubbling out very quickly, turning them into blimps within a few moments and stretching out that tail like a large monument.

His sides and belly, though still constrained, still took a massive majority of the constant air intake. Trampling over the three as the rippled looking balloon continued to expand across the floor, his body now resisting enough that the hose started to gather the feedback. Reducing the choppiness to a steady flow as those now faintly green scales groaned loudly, being pushed outwards by a very large force and leaving no area untouched. Not even that snout, feeling it swell up with his cheeks as the constant whimpers left it.

Dia couldn't even move his paws, as every finger and claw bloated out into nearly clear spheres. Begging for an overflow, but such an ability was disabled for the competition! He had only one shot, and the odds were greatly against the draconic blimp. Feeling his air-filled shell rub up against the coarse rope with every pump forced into his tail, nearly shaving off precious volume limits as the knots grew tighter. Not showing any signs of weakness and forcing those bulges inbetween the divides to take in more and more air.

Every few moments, it seemed that large series bubbles reached a new multiplier. Easily pressing up against the barrier to the stage, and reaching about the volume of a skyscraper before really hearing Dia's body starting to strain. The binds still holding on tightly, though a tad more stretched out then when they started, nearly turning the dragon into a balloon animal. The pressure from the device increased one last time, pushing all the contents within the bloated hose into that overstretched blimp. Swelling up every area greatly, losing resistance quickly with high pitched squeals until he bursted with a loud pop!

The four rested on the smooth floors for a few moments, panting loudly as they crawled to a whimpering Dia in the center. Hearing the troublemakers clear their throats before the embrace progressed into something further, seeing that large brass muzzle toss. "Fine, fine!" He snorted loudly, looking over the scoreboard at the numbers 9,853. "I don't even remember what mine was."

"Ten thousand." Bartan answered, trying to compose himself and seeing Beo curl his neck. "You didn't break anything, kinda like him. Size can only get you so far-"

"As in, 10k." A nod in confirmation as the large brass one grumbled. "Meaning, you're in the lead."

"With 14,675..." The bear said with a whimper, stroking that large muscular body and losing composure. "T-Thea's second, with 11,200-" A near begging whimper from Dia that time.

"Contain yourselves!" Lexar growled.

"Just one more! Jinx, tended to by Thea!" The wolfling grumbled as they spun the second disc. "Christmas Lights!" A double take from everyone, then towards the Counterweight. Who only shrugged.

"I know it seems so mild compared, but I was running out of ideas. However, these are some pretty tough wires." He motioned the little ones to try the first Bonus spin. "Well now..."

"x4 Pressure!" The two chirped, spinning it again as the contestants whimpered. "And Substance Change!"

"Think you're up for it?" Beo nudged the latex dragon.

"Easy." He tapped the large one's snout and moved into position. "Watch me blow your scores out of the water." T-posing while a clearly nervous Thea comically pulled on tangled outdoor Xmas lights, looking over the anthro'd body for a moment and whimpering. "It's alright, take your time."

"I guess I'm just unsure of how to do this." The blue one mumbled, just looping the tangled braided wires around every limb and neck. Basically turning the dragon into a latex Christmas tree by the time he was done, even having the joy of seeing the lights turn on. "Add some gingerbread ornaments and some presents underneath, and we've got ourselves a holiday." He snorted, returning to the device and looking it over. Motioning the bear to come over for assistance, but seeing the two smaller ones help him instead.

The others headed over to box the smaller guest in, looking him over while Jinx looked over himself as well. "How are these things even lighting up if it's not plugged in?"

"Don't ask." The others all said at once.

"...I feel like it's something I should know."

"It's just one of those things that hurts the more you think about." Dia snorted.

"Fair enough. But... Gingerbread ornaments?" He questioned, seeing the others tilt their heads in a shrug.

"It's the holidays, we have to keep the Troublemakers entertained somehow." Beo stated. "So, I combined two of their favorite things: cooking and decorating."

"It used to be worse." Bartan teased, nudging the titan. "Remember the year we used your meatball popsicles?" A snout toss and a groan from the brass one.

"Yes, and they couldn't figure out why our tree was smelling funny at the time." The group chuckled.

"They must've been quite young then." Dia half questioned, getting a nod from the parents.

"It was their second holiday." The bear smiled, looking over the two as they eagerly assisted a slightly frustrated Thea. "They hatched very close to the holidays, so they were just barely creeping by their first one."

"I still don't know where the idea of using a tree, of all things, came from." Beo playfully snorted.

"It's just a weird tradition I missed having." The furred one added, giving off a slightly sad smile while the blue wyrm returned with a hose.

"...So, I have to plug this in somewhere..." Thea awkwardly mumbled, getting a couple of chuckles from the group.

"Stick it anywhere you like. My body will make a valve there." Puzzled looks all around. "Don't ask." They all looked at each other for a few moments, then back at Jinx. "I'm serious. Don't ask."

"Can do." Thea grumbled, taking the hose and almost 'fist-bumping' it at the end of the latex tail. Seeing it attach and remain snared to his body as he returned to the stage.

"Not going to join us?" Dia asked him from afar.

"I prefer not to become a pancake, thank you." The blue one snorted, slapping the button with his tail and laying down on the other side of the protective barrier as the device warmed up. However, it started to omit a very strange noise, causing looks of both puzzlement and concern from the others off-stage. Eventually sending a very slow bulge through the hose, about the size of a yoga ball towards the latex being.

Before it could reach that black tail, the pump pushed out at least four more of the slow moving spheres before it got to that tailtip. Letting Jinx feel the strange warmth of something... Not quite solid but not quite liquid either, slip inside his hollow body. Comforting in its own way, but almost... heavy. Getting that tail to drop to the floor and anchor the smallest adult in place as more was pushed through. Swelling the black material around the lighted wires and making a few of the lonely strains slide together.

That rear appendage took the flow easily, even for being quite the pressure load. It was something the limb was definitely used to at this point, just not with such a substance. Heavier than water, causing it to almost flatten as more and more was shoved into the enlarging tail. Making the others curious as it slowly crept towards them, eventually feeling their paws play with the bulge a bit to try to figure out what it was. "That's... Definitely peculiar." The Counterweight stated, trying not to cheat by just reading it's 'source code', but his curiosity was getting overwhelming.

"It feels... Almost like ooze." Jinx grumbled, nearly forced to sit on his own growing 'beanbag chair' as it finally started to flow into his legs. Causing all the air that occupied such a space to bubble upwards in desperation. "It's even hard to shape." A purr in question from the others as he demonstrated with those latex shins, still decorated with colorful lights and green wires. Bulging them out as if they were ripped with muscle and making them whimper while blushing. However, upon 'letting go' of the shape, the substance reverted back to its thicker state slowly. "What is this, Thea?"

"You figure it out."

"It's not Jello or gelatin. Too heavy for such a thing." Beo mumbled, still squeezing that tail like a pastry bag (like ones used for decorating cake, filled with icing) and aiding the flow of it into those hips. Getting them to round out rather quickly and work on that belly for a few moments before the device geared up. Adding quite a bit more pressure rather quickly and starting to put stress on those binds, especially around that black rubbery middle. Making it rather difficult for the (still) smaller contestant to stand up, considering his legs and tail were quickly turning into tied swelling bubbles. Almost making him look like a bloated tri-pod.

"Slime?" Dia questioned and half whined, memorized by the constant flow and ripple that made the filling anthro's body jiggle with every thick pump added. The Christmas Lights sliding around his front as that large belly pushed through a rather large opening between the wires. Flowing out like one large heavy bubble until it stretched onto the ground.

"It's not moving on its own." Jinx grumbled. As comforting as the warmth was, the substance just felt... Strange. Almost sticky, but the answer was nearly surfacing with every climb up his inner body. Though still not quite done with that belly, his chest and pecks started to bulge out as well. Getting those to round out, and soon adding such changes to his thin arms. Feeling them expand somewhat slowly like long balloons being filled with a heavy water.

"Oh..." The brass titan purred in almost curiosity. "I think I know what it is." It got the attention of the other three as Jinx' neck started to swell up, along with his shoulders. Areas that were almost overwrapped by the lights, nearly creating a large wreath around his latex head while most of the air was routed from his hollow body. Though still getting confused looks from the others, Beo smirked at them. "It was a joke we used to have: Slower than..."

"Slower?" Dia tilted his head, and shortly after, the guest started to taste it. A tangy substance that reminded him of the color brown while his breath smelled that of cloves or close to gingerbread.

"Molasses!?" Jinx nearly hissed, trying to face behind him and almost growl at Thea. Hearing the blue dragon attempt to hold in his laughter. "You filled me with-!?"

"Eleven Year Old Molasses!" Dia chirped. "I remember now!"

"This is going to be an absolute pain to clean-!" The latex dragon grumbled just before his muzzle started to nearly leak the stuff. Attempting to hold it in while his cheeks started to swell into large balls, preventing anymore speech as he shifting his body forwards. Laying on that still growing belly and feeling the machine gear up once more. Increasing the pressure drastically and sending more of those bulged through his tail first. The binds started to slide together in small villages between the black hills as they continued to grow out further and further, forcing the soft lands to expand outwards towards the three observants who just couldn't keep their paws to themselves anylonger. Hugging the bloated warm blimp as his body nearly danced with the waves entering him.

Jinx grew far beyond Thea's normal size in a matter of moments. Soon surpassing the others as they attempted to enjoy the rubbery shell that was soon shining with its bulges. Though the leaks were still coming out of that black muzzle, Beo 'aid' with putting a strap on it. Allowing those cheeks to grow naturally and keep a hold on that electric wreath around his neck. Limbs morphed into large spheres that were being choked in sections, making the growing blimp nearly look like a balloon animal. Feeling those binds nearly cut into his form, yet there was still no signs of weakened durability.

The pressure increased again, forcing bulges into that tail and making it grow larger. Soon starting to hear a few snaps as the ripples were getting more violent, freeing his haunches and feeling them swell up greatly to take up the income. Though getting quite a bit of resistance by the time Jinx was about the volume of an apartment building. Hearing the thick syrup inside churning, his body groan a bit as it continued to swell bigger and bigger! The warmth of the substance making it both easier and slightly harder for his form to control, but the device didn't slow down. Still sending in car sized bulges directly into his tail and causing his entire body to bubble out further! Further! Hearing the creeks sing loudly in warning! Until-!

All at once, the green wires snapped. Nearly in sync, as Jinx' heavy latex body couldn't keep a hold of himself or his shape for very long. Soon taking in a large backup from the pump and expanding greatly over the three. Swallowing them up with that large black belly as the tail, twin haunches, and hinds legs pressed up against the forcefield to the stage. Leaving a direct flow from the device to the latex dragon, making it that much easier to pump more and more molasses into him. Soon turning him into one large sphere with several shapes bulging out as those walls continued to trek across the open space of the building.

Yet, the machine desired him to be bigger! Faster! Larger! Increasing the already drastic pressure by tenfold and nearly causing the hose to burst with the heavy flow. However, the latex dragon could still take it. Doubling his size every several moments as his heavy body pressed further. Expanding across city blocks with ease, and only taking a few minutes to touch the side walls. Covering the floor soon after with his heavy form and nearly hear the wood under him strain to hold such weight.

But the device kept at it. Adding more and more of that sticky old syrup into that latex balloon as it slowly raised up. Casting a massive shadow over the current observers behind the barrier and making Thea almost turn pale. Reaching the ceiling in no time, but the machine didn't know when to stop! Still force feeding that blimp more and more molasses as the field started to give off warning signs.

Pump after pump it looked like the massive black bubble, still completely vacant of any durability loss, pressed into that transparent barrier. Causing it to almost bend towards the three in its safe zone as the took the time to release a faint whimper. Lowering their ears and drooping their wings before it shattered and they were all slammed against the far wall. Leaving their imprints outside the red building's shell in the snowy meadow... One that was also starting to get some curves.

The machine was still active! And still adding more of that substance into the blimp of a dragon. Increasing its pressure again and again rapidly, as all the buttons were pressed. The hose finally exploding, but with the way Jinx's body worked, it started to drink straight from the pump itself! Swelling his body bigger and bigger, while that massive building attempted to keep him inside! Squeeze to fit in the inflating guest, but in turn... Its own walls were bloating in the process. Fighting so hard to keep it's one perfected shape, but it was a lost cause. Creaking loudly as those walls bulged outwards, getting a few cracks and that black balloon started to squeeze through. Prying that shell out further and further until-!

The building, about the size of a city, exploded. Causing a massive black oval to spread out across the snow for a few moments, until the device shut off. Now displaying (if you could see the damn thing) that all the tanks were officially empty. Leaving the filled latex anthro to stop for a few moments and look around. Surprisingly finding a scoreboard hanging in the sky that displayed: 50,000! Winner! Getting the black one to snort playfully. "See? Told you I could do it." A few faint whimpers were heard underneath him.
