#13 of Side Stories/One Shots

My trade with Jinx for that earlier post with Dia. This time, a small clean story of a pleasant brawl in a city. Lovely. What to expect in this piece:

Inflation - Because why not. Water and Muscle, includes Soft Popping (no harm/death)

Macro/Kaijus - Good old 'Godzilla' monster movie style, complete with:

City Destruction - If that's your jam.

Not really much else to say. A fun little piece that you might enjoy, but it is mostly Inflation based.

Hot Air Balloon By Bartan Tirix

The high scale city shook with every heavy step of the beast, making many of the brick-based skyscrapers rattle as the kaiju roared loudly. Taking out sections of a few towers with a single strike, sending debris scattering over the roads. Many of the vacant cars accepting such a thing, and oddly not being damaged in the slightest by the solid rain. However, they were not immune by the immense weight of the creature, flattening half a dozen of them with a single step and crushing them paper thin.

Many of the residents crying out in terror from the draconic-like monster, it's half bipedal form and red scales reflecting many of the searchlights from the national defense. Not that it was significantly difficult to even see it's shadow from the many lights and glows from the city, especially when he knocked down a few more buildings. Oddly enough, the lights from the wrecked rooms staying lit in the streets, -but that's not the point.

The Cryo took out it's frustrations upon the buildings and billboards! Uprooting the bank and tearing it apart for rejecting his credit card application! Giving the tall tower that was the TV station a lariat for disregarding his reality show pitch of a guy who was allergic to floors! And then the worst of them all: The Bakery! Who took the beast's precious cookie recipe... And Added Pecans. Pecans! _ PECANS!! _

A massive roar of near rage before the kaiju stepped on the small building, hearing a loud squish underneath that actually caught him by surprise. Lifting up that single hind leg and looking closely at the red drip that looked more... Gooey than what he was expecting. Going so far as to scan his surroundings for a moment to 'make sure no one was watching the five story tall beast' before (awkwardly) give it a lick. Attempting to balance on the other foot and releasing a purr at the cherry flavor.

...Until he picked up the pecan taste- yes. We're back onto this. Getting that muzzle to make a face and go right back to smashing buildings while the... Citizens stood there and pointed. Screaming and waving their arms like a poorly made B-movie while the national guard came to their rescue: a single armored tank.

The top flew opened, getting the upper sides of a white wolfling and a brass hatchling to pop out and witness such a thing from several dozen yards away. "Ready the D.E.R.P. Weapon!" The canine chirped, getting the other to release another before slipping back into the vehicle. Clunking around with some of the switches and the turret shifted slightly.

"Ready!"

"Aiming at Target!" The wolfling fiddled with some of the controls, adjusting its cannon to follow the kaiju's head. "Target Locked!"

"Firing Dia Emergency Response Plan In 3... 2... 1...!" The turret fired with a strange _Plunk!_as a roped projectile launched out of it, making the Cryo flick his ears and those scales turn yellow with curiosity just as the missile split opened mid-flight. The base striking the large behemoth directly in the snout as it yelped in surprise, opening his mouth just enough for a small string to slip in while the rest of the projectile latched around that maw tightly! Getting the kaiju to almost whimper at the strange device while attempting to pull it off, only for the grapple's 'legs' to strap against one another!

The beast growled, trying to pull the strange weapon off his muzzle. Unable to get his claws under the straps or metal frame, nor pull the damn rope at the end without nearly stretching his own muzzle slightly. Omitting a muffled grumbled in frustration to the point where he almost missed the brassling chirp. "It's in! Close the gate!" A loud noise in question as those large blue eyes started to follow the rope's massive slack, leading well passed the actual tank, and through the streets.

Around city blocks, under some overpasses and even through a subway tunnel, the kaiju followed the unusually long rope from afar. Finally attached to a device next to the river dam, making the kaiju's head tilt in confusion as one of the watergates slowed to a close and the machine started up. Only to cause the rope to thicken up greatly in large bubbles!

The damn thing wasn't a rope! It was a hose! Making the Cryo once again trace the length of the strange rope quickly with his eyes, and spotting the end still grasped in his paws... Leading to his muzzle, now currently sealed shut with the nozzle at the very tip of his tongue! Trapped behind his nearly closed fangs and starting to feel what little air within the hose start to rush through!

A whimper of panic as the kaiju fought harder to pull the tube out, to get that strange grapple device off his snout! Unable to quite get those large dull claws underneath it enough to grab hold as the first bulge moved closer! Seeing traces of its glossy thickness between buildings and in the streets while others started to follow in its path. As if attempting to surround the monstrous dragon while closing in for the takedown!

The closer the first bulge got, the bigger it seemed to be. Already started to fill out the kaiju's muzzle and cheeks a little as the device continued to push air into his body, creating a path for the incoming blobs of water heading closer to the behemoth. Coming around the corner directly ahead of the now dark green scaled one, making those frilled ears fall and releasing a muffled whimper as the tubby bulge came around that corner in slow motion.

About the size of a first floor apartment building, pushing down streetlights and folding over cars in its path. Stretching the hose out greatly into a snake-skin like pattern as it glared at the beast terrorizing the city, challenging him. Letting the sense of dread overwash the Kaiju before darting towards him, racing down the streets and making the beast yelp loudly! Trying frantically to pull that hose off his snout and losing track of the bulge's speed, barely managing to stomp his large foot on the hose just before the blob got to him!

It was nearly enough for the time being, even though he could taste the leak of water in his muzzle already. Swearing that with every harsh tug, the hose was becoming loose, not just stretching out to his arm's length. Even attempting pulling his muzzle away from the pull for a little more distance, accidently slipping that wedging foot a little and getting another squirt of water in the muzzle.

With a sharp whine, his blue disc caught another bulge ramming behind the first one! Actually lifting that hind paw up just enough for the entire hump to squeeze under, shooting right up to those clenched hands around the hose! More and more water starting to leak through the nozzle, the grapple still closing his maw tightly and preventing a single droplet from escaping!

Blob after blob merged into the one before him, soon getting it to grow to about half the Cryo's size and slowly weakening his grip. Releasing a sharp whine as he struggled to hold back the enlarging water balloon as it pushed closer and closer to the tip of his snout. Attempting to hold out until the hose itself would break, but the damn thing was just too durable! Showing no signs of weakness as the scaled-like texture grew larger and larger!

Until it eventually pried opened the kaiju's hands, rushing up to that green muzzle and giving the behemoth a kiss! Pouring water into that now purple muzzle with the force of a river and getting those cheeks to round out further. Forcing the beast to swallow every last drop and every one coming in large gulps, creating moving bumps in his neck and adding volume directly into his muscled belly!

It started off as a small curve, abs bulging out in sections and even those pecs lightly puffing out. Eventually morphing into rounder and rounder shapes with every swallow as his paws tried to reduce the flow. Each hump in his underside soon merging into one large gut that started to sag, becoming too heavy for the Cryo to keep holding up! Carefully resting his belly down as it continued to grow while he struggled with the hose, attempting to claw at its stretched sides or bite off the end of the nozzle, but it was no use.

Yet, such actions were soon halted for a few moments when he heard four terrifying words...! "Close the second gate!" Making him whimper in question and make out the high pitched grinds of metal doors again metal railings, the sounds of water rushing through the falls being reduced greatly and the device before the dam gearing up. Sending out larger bulges, at least twice the size of the previous ones through that damn hose!

The humps were sent through faster than before, barely squeezing through the subway tunnels and under bridges as it took up most of the streets! Knocking down a few buildings in the process when it was forced to move between them, making the Cryo once again yelp in panic! Already starting to feel the pressure shift as the remains of the previous pumps were being forced into his maw and add to his already taut belly!

But no matter how much the green scaled one struggled with the hose, nor attempted to tie the thing into a small knot, he couldn't make any progress. The damn thing was just too large at this point to even do anything about it, and before he knew it... That large hump was muzzle to muzzle with him! Trying to hold it back only worked for a few moments before it slipped inside his snout, rounding those cheeks out to at least triple size before flowing into that belly. Making it crawl over the streets and cars below as it filled in the intersection more and more with every pumping kiss.

It didn't take long for that panic to turn into pleasure, shifting those colored scales back into purple as those paws moved down to instinctively admire such a round and soft shape. Returning the beast to his natural quadruped stance as the muscled bulges slowly became more and more doughy looking, extending into his chest more before moving down and bloating his underside. Flowing the constant intake of water and pushing that gut to occupy the space between his hind legs as the beast continued to whimper.

However, these were no long whimpers of fright, but of pure bliss. His pink color nearly hiding the blush in those apartment sized cheeks as the Cryo started to freely swallow every gift of that pump that was brought to him! Making his belly grow and grow with a constant swelling as it slowly filled up the streets, pressing and folding up against building walls as the beast became larger! His underside now pushing him off the ground with ease by turning it into a large plated water balloon!

Yet, the device never let up, sending forth thick pulse after thick pulse through that tunnel. Letting the large snakescaled bulges trek through the city directly into the kaiju's maw, stretching those cheeks out a little more before plunging into his bloated throat and belly. Morphing it further around the building walls and alleyways as every addition lifted the beast higher and higher, pushing that lower belly further out and under his tail as it spread across the streets.

But the pink behemoth was still practically singing in whimpers and whines after every swallow. Pawing at that belly with all four legs, squirming and loving the full feeling as it jiggled in the streets. It's weight becoming too much for the nearby towers and buildings, causing them to tip over and shatter in sections of bricks. Soon being devoured by that large pink blob as it ventured further into the surrounding city blocks, observed by the two little ones peering out of the tank.

"Mission Complete! The threat is immobilized!" The wolfling chirped.

"For now, yes! But is it still a threat to the city?" The two pondered for a moment, watching the large water balloon continue to fill up.

"Close the third gate?" The furred one asked, his ears perking at the very loud noise in question coming from the kaiju's area.

"Just in case!" The brass one chirped, the two diving back into the armored vehicle and hitting the required switches as the much larger one whined loudly. Those scales fading to a deep purple as the grinding doors started to close once again, soon going through the device and forcing the Cryo to take the full force of the river!

However, the device started to make some strange noises in response to the commands. Perhaps it couldn't take such punishment? Redirect the entire flow of the never-ending waters to the hose? It would be the one thing that could save the behemoth, already starting to feel quite taut in the underside. Starting to focus on the damn muzzle while he had time, or before they realize the pump was broken and they attempted to find something else to fill the beast with.

Struggle after struggle, the creature nearly growled at the durability of such a thing. Swearing it was stuck on with a high-tech superglue, while the hose itself was inspired by another scaled and metallic, neigh-indestructible 'Brass Wall' that came to mind. Releasing a few snarls and attempting to squirm enough room for him to release even a small leak within his maw. Though able to return some of the water into the hose with enough effort, better than nothing-

Only to hear that motor once again come back to full life, striking fear into that large heart as the pressure returned! Once again swallowing some of that previous water and watching the machine struggle from afar, trying to get that first bulge out into the hose. Like blowing a large black balloon as those glossy scales stretched outwards and outwards, bigger than a transport trailer, bigger than a house! About the size of an apartment building before it started moving away from the pump, leaving it to work on another!

Several muffled yelps once again filled the Cryo's maw as he struggled to get away! To get the straps off his muzzle! To get the hose out of his maw! To reach the ground so he could move away or close the stretched hose once again like before! But all he could do is remain on his belly and observe from afar as the massive black blob moved through the city, pushing buildings aside with its sheer size.

It crushed over any abandoned vehicle it touched. Tore through any overpass it attempted to squeeze through. Breaking the very walls that lead through the subway and caused the roads above it to shatter in large sections before bursting out of the very grounds. Picking up speed as others followed its path of destruction, then charging the overweight kaiju that was directly in front of it.

A loud cry of fight as the blob climbed that bloated chest. Slamming into his guarding paws, separating their choking hold on the hose before kissing him aggressively. Swelling out those cheeks greater and greater, as if influencing them to be just as big as the blob was. Feeling the hump of water directly behind it merge with, not giving the Behemoth any relief as those cheeks nearly reached their limits!

Forcing the Cryo to swallow the continuous flow of water and quickly thicken up his neck and chest. Slamming his sides hard against the walls of the buildings adjacent to his belly and toppling them down, only to steamroll against the brick-style debris. Repeating the cycle over again as pump after pump rushed into his muzzle, drastically increasing the beast's size from one intersection to four city blocks within a few minutes!

His belly felt so tight, starting to groan against such punishment and so quickly. Warning the beast that it likely wouldn't be able to take much more, that he needed to put a stop to it while he was still able to move his upper appendages! Attempting to claw at the hose still did nothing but force the water inside quicker! The muzzle was still trapped on so tightly, even after his snout was swelling out around its design! The nozzle he swore was only getting better to increase the intake of water and pressure as his belly creaked loudly!

It was getting too full! To the point where it needed to find other areas to put the water! Starting with that tail, swelling up the base greatly and instantly making the Cryo pink while releasing a loud whimper of bliss. Bloating out like a long balloon as it instantly doubled in size! Reaching further and further out towards his lower belly's end and limping it's thickened tip over the edge of that tight blimp! Sending in large pulse after large pulse through the appendage, making it stretch out further and further as it too started to groan loudly. Filling up the entire road and pressing against the buildings behind the beast, getting heavier with every pump after pump of that machine!

Only for the tail too to reach its limit! Resorting to the next best thing: haunches! Quickly swelling up the behemoth's hips as he attempted to yelp loudly in surprise! Flowing directly into those twin balloons and making them multiply in size, turning them into massive pears alongside the thick tail! Then shoulders and forearms! Flowing into his spiked back! Bloating the braches of his wings as the device continued to inflate the beast bigger and bigger! Turning him into a series of spheres with the intent of bursting him-!

Then the machine erupted in a few furious sounds, killing the pressure that was being sent through the hose just in time as the two little ones peeked out of their armored shelter. Looking at the pump's direction as it went silent before sharing a quick gaze. "Oh no!"

"Did it break?"

"Perhaps something clogged it?" The small dragon asked, his incoming response being interrupted by several bassy whimpers and growls from the beast. Staring in awe as the large water-filled blimp started to wiggle a little bit, the spherical limbs starting to morph not long after. Slowly moving outwards and outwards as the belly began to somewhat lessen. The cryo's body shaping back into a much much larger base form, if not just quite a bit more tubby.

"Did we just make it bigger?" The wolfling asked, tilting his head in confusion in sync with his brother as the kaiju's snout and head finally shifted in proportion to the rest of its body. Finally breaking the grasp of the hose and it's hold and making the two yelp in surprise as the now red transparent beast was on the loose.

"I think that was the plan."

"And a failed one at that." A black anthro dragon walked up beside the armored tank. Getting the little one's attention at both his sudden appearance, and the fact he was wearing a standard white labcoat, a pair of clearly fake glasses, and nothing else. A little on the baggy side and the dragon grumbled at the clothing while adjusting it. "Do I have to wear this?"

" Yes." The two answered rather quickly.

"Why?"

"How else will we know you're a mad scientist?" The brassling asked, getting the latex dragon to glare at them for a moment.

"You realize that not all mad scientists wear these things. Heck, not all scientists _period_wear these things."

"If you want the Chocolate Monkey then you need to wear the coat!"

"You'll get to rip it off after anyway!" The wolfling chirped, rather happily about the destruction of such a thing.

"Very well, I will comply." Jinx cleared his throat again and redid his line. "And a failed one at that." The two little one's gasped loudly.

"Oh no!"

"It's our local mad scientist, The Black Hole!"

"-You see..." A loud grumble from the black one as he tended to the space between his eyes in frustration. "This is what I'm talking about. If you're going to say that I'm a mad scientist, then why-?"

"Tactical Retreat!" The two scampered off, leaving the black one a little dumbfounded and sighing. Looking back at the massive cryo who was highly amused at his new squishy form, almost giggling while flexing those bloated fingers. Feeling the ripples move through his entire body like a jelly and getting the beast to giggle at it, until he noticed the 'Black Hole' looking at him. Double taking and getting back into character, roaring at the new threat while his translucency was morphing into another large solid shape.

"This city isn't big enough for the both of us... Even though it clearly is." He said, taking off the glasses and tossing them off to the side of the street. "There can only be one bringer of mass destruction, and that's me!" A challenging roar that was cut short. "Really, I've got a card." A noise in question from the cryo as Jinx dug through one of the pockets, pulling out a cue card and holding it up.

Carefully, the curious kaiju leaned down and reached for it, his belly actually touching the streets and folding up against the building walls. Starting to read the poorly drawn business card as a large breath was heard being taken, the Latex dragon suddenly blowing against his own thumb and inflating his chest drastically in a muscled form. Large pecs and abs morphing from the rather scrawny look before, and flowing into his biceps. Causing the sleeves of the coat to bulge out drastically before ripping at the seams, the swelling black muscles starting to morph between the gaps.

Another blow was enough to cause the upper arms of the coat to burst into a shower of ripped fabrics, and trail down to the forearms. Tearing the cheap white coat sleeves into strips with a simple flex as the breaths continued to backfire into his hollow body. Being forced downwards into his belly and legs, broadening his shoulders out until the white coat couldn't take anymore. Leaving behind a white 'cape' that lingered over his enlarging tail as each breath increased the anthro's size.

Still enthralled by the card, the Cryo didn't even notice the smaller one's growth until he was about the size of his head. Releasing a loud noise in question and dropping the card somewhere on the street before picking up his own heavy body and standing upright. Watching the latex one continue to reach half his size, but with much stronger looking physique. Muscles bulging out of his form like dense balloons, giving off a glossy shimmer to any light source as if he was well oiled, then more so when Jinx flexed when he was finished. Going from the standard height of about 7 feet and a half to taller than an apartment building.

Another heavy flex to harden such muscles, gathering strength deep within them and charging the massive beast still about three times his size. Attacking the large gut with wide power punch and feeling it drill deep into that red underside! Causing the entire bloated body to ripple with the force of the blow and a growl from the behemoth it belonged to.

However, Jinx was unable to pierce such defenses! Nearly getting his arm stuck as the flexible gut attempted to swallow and absorb the attack. Snaring him long enough for a fat paw to swat his body off to the side, releasing him of the 'grapple' and sending the black one through building after building. Causing a shower of bricks to rain upon the streets while a few more buildings collapsed, causing a chain reaction and a pile that buried the latex dragon.

But moments later, Jinx- erm... 'The Black Hole' raised out of the debris. Brushing himself off, mostly composed but a low growl left his whiskered muzzle. "Fine, no more goofing around." Another flex of his chest as he inhaled deeply, causing his own pecs and abs to grow drastically. Still keeping its buff form, but ballooning outwards into the path he created before slamming into that gut. Sending all that access air into his limbs and body, bulking up his muscles over double size easily.

Then another breath to send into his hands, paws, and head. Still not quite as tall as the beast he was up against but it was still a better advantage. Hearing the kaiju roar once again in challenge as it struck the ground hard, causing many of the buildings to rattle and fall apart in sections as the latex dragon focused on his stability against such vibrations. Seeing the cryo come after him while the black one was snared by the unstable grounds.

Yet he managed to get his footing quickly, charging the beast head on and ramming it with a heavy shoulder tackle. Not afraid of the sharp horns as those dense muscles remained very firm against the beast's water filled body, causing it to warp around the dragon from the impact. The red body bloating out from a large ripple, attempting to absorb the latex rival but he was too big to completely wrap around. Forcing the ripple to flow back and make the kaiju stumble backwards, falling onto his back heavily and causing another storm of bricks to fly outwards.

The Black Hole followed up with an overhead hammerblow directly onto the cryo's large belly. The force shifting the behemoth's total volume to rush outwards into the limbs, bloating them out quickly, but shifting back to the center even faster! Surprising the latex one and catching him off guard as that gut enlarged, returning such force into a mighty blow in retaliation. Sending the muscled one launching quite a ways away into the pile he was sent to previously.

Shaking the bricks off and spitting out a plastic chair, the latex dragon growled. He would need to be bigger in order to defeat the heavy beast! And with that; stronger! While the behemoth struggled to get up with his over-flexible body, the Black Hole stood and inhaled. As much as he could possibly fit in one breath, sending that muscled gut blimping outwards between them! Growing to fit several city blocks within and diminishing quite a bit of its toned form in the process.

But only for a few moments. Shifting the air once again into the rest of his body, really focusing on the budging muscles of his arms and legs. Swelling those biceps and triceps to at least triple the previous size, while the rest of his body attempted to keep up. Hands, feet, head and tail. All making the anthro dragon grow in large pulses, far above the now standing kaiju. Getting it to double take at the sudden size increase and almost yelp at such a change.

A heavy flex from the latex one made the water-behemoth turn purple with embarrassment, stunning it with a beautiful pose before Jinx step forwards to slam the smaller one with a clap-like motion. Learning from his past mistake of using an overhead strike, but not expecting the kaiju to wobble backwards in evasion.

The second clap attempt was too close to try such a defense, leaving the beast to match the strength of the now larger latex one! Surprisingly matching each dense muscled arm, even though the impact did ripple through his now flexible body. Holding his own for a while, but slowly started to cave from the unreal might of those dense muscles.

His resistance collapsed all at once, causing the Black Hole to suddenly end up grappling the jello-like cryo. Making it yelp in surprise as Jinx attempted to lift it up, planning to throw it into the river where it would sink and remain underwater for good! Squeezing the creature tighter, thinning out his middle and forcing most of his mass to flood his top and bottom areas. Bloating them out, but not showing signs of weakening just yet.

However, the Black Hole didn't quite plan on how he was going to lift the behemoth up, seeing as it currently felt like attempting to pick up a sleeping cat. AKA: _ Impossible _, being so squishy and morphing with every grasp. Instead, the latex dragon took a firm grip on its upper body and started swinging it around in a full circle. Spinning with it and gathering momentum with every rotation, forcing all the fluids inside the living water balloon into his lower end, causing him to become bottom heavy.

The (now) red behemoth was being swung faster and faster, stretching out his lower half from the sheer weight of the water gathering in one area. Turning the cryo into a wrecking ball as a cyclone of bricks scattered across the city before Jinx finally lost grip on the beast and sent him flying! Water rushing towards the creature's upper half and giving it a dumbbell shape before crashing into the waters nearly a mile out.

Victory for the Black Hole, getting the super villain to stand proudly at his accomplishment and completely ignoring the collateral damage Jinx did to "his" city. Exhaling and releasing his tensed body of its muscled form, something managed to catch his eye just as his vision became blocked by the debris of buildings. Was that a hump just now in the waters?

Reaching the streets and back to his slender... 'Clothesless' form, Jinx rushed to the corner. Getting a straight view of the river from afar, where a large red bubble started to form well over the safety barrier for the roads. Growing in pulses within the large section of waters that divided the city, pressing up against a nearby bridge and piers. Crawling up the waterfront as the river levels quickly started to lower at an alarming rate!

Soon enough, the red blob was so large it created its own dam within the waters, dividing them further and drinking one side until it was nearly drained. Then raising up with a loud roar that shook the very bricks the skyscrapers were made of, towering over them as a massive red blimp before it reached down to the other side of the river! Drinking in massive gulps and pulsing his body larger and larger! Casting a shadow over half the city as well as Jinx, as the beast became the horizon!

Another loud roar as the waters within his chubby form started to become structured closer to his original shape, now at least 100 times the size! Leaving the super villain to almost blush at such a form as the kaiju started to rampaging through the other half of the city. Knocking down several city blocks with a single swing, as the two little ones trotted up next to Jinx. Almost enjoying the show. "I think you made it worse." The brassling stated, getting a slight whimper of confirmation from the black one.

"What now?"

"I'm not out of tricks yet." The Black Hole snorted at them, opening his mouth and drawing his paw closer to it.

"I don't think your muscle thingy is going to..." The wolfling started, only to see the latex one pull out... A remote control from inside his body? "...Where did you get that?"

"I like to keep things on me for emergencies." The two looked at him blankly, then quickly gazed at his entire body. "No-"

"You know-"

"No."

"You could just-"

"No."

"Wear clothing-"

"No."

"Like a normal person." An intense glare of near hate from those grey discs of the tall one, while the two just wagged their tails happily. "Pockets have been invented for quite a while."

"...No." The latex one grumbled, pressing a button on the remote while aiming it behind them. Getting the perked ears of the smaller twins as they seen a massive ray gun fold out of an observatory waaaay in the back.

"How did we not notice that?" The wolfling asked his brother, only getting a shrug from those brass and red wings.

"And how was that even built under the noses of the town's people?" An unimpressed look from the villain as the two patiently waited for an answer. Shifting his gaze at the streets where dozens and dozens of blocky styled 'mannequins' were just standing on the sidewalks in different positions.

"...The Space Program owed me."

"What are you going to do with a ray gun?"

"I'm going to shoot the creature with it."

"But that won't work!"

"Yeah, the Cryos are immune to energy based attacks!" The brassling chirped, rather happily at that.

"The beast isn't what I'm planning on... 'Attacking'." A couple of purrs in question as the Black Hole finished his adjustments on the controller and fired the weapon! Causing a steady stream of concentrated orange lights to bolt towards the Kaiju in the distance. Ones the red behemoth didn't even take notice until he started to feel the warm tickle, double taking at the strange 'laser' and growling at it. Following the path to the ray gun across the city/refilling river and taking those first few steps towards it.

Such a thing couldn't possibly harm the creature, so it showed no worry. Just that slight tingle in the area where it was hitting: the belly. Almost making him chuckle out of instinct, causing that rather chubby underside to wobble with both the reflex and every step forwards. Causing several buildings to crash and topple over practically with sheer contact with that large body, as the Cryo made it to the bridge.

Stepping on it caused it to collapse into a shower of bricks. Of course such a thing was never going to support his massively heavy weight, but the river itself was still in the process of refilling. Making it rather easy to cross, barely slowing the kaiju down... However... He did start to feel rather warm. Not to the point of discomfort, but like the water inside was starting to heat up.

Then, the behemoth started to feel it; a bit of straining in his movements. Like his body was getting... Tighter. Mostly around the chubby underside at first, but soon feeling it around his hind legs, then upwards. The tingling feeling rising up along his outer scales, making his movements stiff and actually feeling the pressure start raising in his head. It wasn't long after that small streams of fog were leaving the corners of his maw!

Fog? No, it was too warm... Steam! The rays were not harming the cryo, no, but they were causing the water inside him to boil! Already starting to hear the vocal creaks as the beast's underside started to swell, his steps became harder to take as every limb started to feel more and more stiff. Feeling the water inside start to rapidly turn into a more gas based form, attempting to escape their biological prison by causing it to expand!

A stagger to the side to see if the kaiju could possibly evade the line of fire from the ray gun, only to see it just adjust and follow the behemoth's position. He needed to get to it, or else this battle was lost! However, every step taken was getting drastically harder! Hearing the constant groans and the deep hissing of the boiling water within his body, the harmless temperature containing a more threatening pressure that he was trying to release in huffs while those scales stretched out further and further. Swelling up that chubby belly into a heavy tight balloon while his upper limbs started to take a lot of the pressure.

Small streams of visible moisture began turning into small geysers, white funnels that started leaving his nostrils as his cheeks swelled up. Being so used to stretching at this point and preventing that muzzle from completely opening up! Even feeling that snout start to bubble out as the cryo whimpered, his belly bouncing heavily within the shallow river waters. Like trying to carry a massive water balloon, wobbling with every step until it started dragging under his hinds. The pressure inside his upper body starting to crawl downwards, tightening up his ballooned structure and rounding his form in a few moments.

Until the behemoth nearly made it to the other end of the river, an uphill step that was impossible for him to climb in this state! But attempting anyway, and really noticing that heavy gut lagging behind. Causing the beast to trip forwards and really make that belly stretch and groan loudly as the hot waters inside shifted to his underside! Swearing those belly and chest scales were going to burst from such a motion, but the steamy waterbed remained strong.

However, the pressure shifted to his new 'Up': back and haunches. Swelling up those shoulders and neck still, but really taking a toll on swelling those hinds. Thickening up that long bloated tail larger and larger as the ray gun still kept line of sight on the kaiju. Scales, though starting to fade in color, still kept their red hue. No matter how frightening such a thing was, the excitement overpowered the cryo's instincts and forced the warmer tones over his form. Nearly hiding the deep purple blush in his ears and cheeks, only growing deeper with every bassy song his body wailed outwards into the city's atmosphere.

The haunches morphed into large bubbles on their own, hissing while the microwaves continued to alter the state of the waters within and inflate the beast. Giving off a loud groan before spouting out a third one just at the base of that tail, bloating out greatly as it started to fill the long balloon with a heavy mist and give off its own form of whimper. The swelling reaching down to those lower legs before focusing on the already enlarged belly, something that was gradually morphing through the waters and nearby piers along the waterfront.

Whimpers of bliss left the kaiju as his body continued to balloon outwards, the steam inside pressing against his walls and turning him into a massive blimp that soon started to cover over the city. Still holding quite a bit of that water weight, but it was being lifted higher and higher. Evolving the once heavy beast into a zeppelin that only continued to grow larger and larger by the moment! Pressing up against the skyscrapers that took little damage from it's rampage, knocking a few down but the rest acting like large pillars. Holding the ballooned behemoth higher as the microwaves continued to expand the red bubbles more and more! Thinning out those walls to the point where it was a red tinted steam bubble folding between the buildings as it grew tighter! Tighter! Those whines of his scales growing higher in pitch as they stretched to contain all the energetic water particles inside! Until-!

"Lexar! Rev! Lunch is ready!" The two little ones instantly looked behind them, following the direction of the familiar bear voice with a chirp and scamper. Making Jinx shake his head and smile, still holding the controller and pressing the button to shut off the ray gun-

Only to be startled by a very loud bang! As a dense warm fog rained over the toy city, now vacant of its balloon mascot. Making the latex dragon chuckle before walking through the messy streets, eventually finding a now normal sized wyrm lying on his back. Bright red and whimpering in bliss, his body and tail twitching with excitement as the guest approached. "Well, that was fun." A whimper in response to the black anthro, tapping that red belly and feeling himself get suddenly grabbed by those forepaws. Chuckling at the embrace, constant licks and purrs as Dia's scales turned a bright pink. "Enjoy yourself?"

"Immensely."

"Enough for a round 2?" A sharp whimper in surprise.
