Tyler groaned as he stumbled into the alleyway. One arm was holding his stomach from a building feeling of discomfort that was worryingly approaching pain while his other braced against the brick wall of the alley to support himself. He had broken out in a cold sweat that had all-but soaked through his shirt within minutes. Despite the chilled shivers running down his spine the dragon's body still felt like it were overheating.

It was that meteor we found outside town. It had to be. The damn thing must have been radioactive or something. That had to be it. He hadn't eaten anything weird recently; certainly nothing weird enough to cause this violent of a reaction.

Every joint in his body ached by this point. Tyler wasn't sure he could stand up straight and walk without needing to hold onto something for support anymore. His muscles ached and an unnatural exhaustion threatened to bring him down to his knees despite the support of the wall he was leaning on. Even his vision had become blurry! Or at least, that's what he thought until his whole body lurched forward when his legs gave out; sending him down to his knees and causing his glasses to fly off and land nearby.

Reflexively Tyler reached out paw at the ground in hopes of finding them only to freeze with his arm half-extended. The dragon blinked in confusion as he looked right at his glasses where they had landed a foot or so away from him; their thin, silver-colored rims blending in with the gray of the concrete floor of the alleyway. He could see them laying there with one of the glasses arms folded in from the impact clear as day.

Without needing his glasses.

Momentarily forgetting about the concerning issues with his body Tyler looked around the alleyway with wide eyes. His gaze flitted from the dumpster nearby to a few pieces of trash across from it and a door at the end of the alleyway with a sign stating "Exit Only" on it that he could read clear as day despite it being a good thirty or so feet from the dragon who was supposed to be nearsighted. It wasn't just that he could see it all without his glasses now but, if anything, his vision actually seemed BETTER even when he'd had his glasses on!

Before his clashing amazement and disbelief could clash too long his body forced Tyler's attention back to the rest of it. A sharp pang of pain shot through his gut and forced him to double over on himself before it faded back to discomfort rather than pain. The ache in his muscles and joints had gotten progressively worse over the last few seconds until it peaked at an intensity like he had overexerted himself from a near-dangerous amount of intense exercise. That, too, became momentarily forgotten when he looked down at himself and realized some of his peripheral vision was obscured.

A fresh wave of confused wonder overtook the dragon when he realized what was blocking a bit of his view: his pectoral muscles. He actually had visible pectoral muscles now! Looking himself over the formerly scrawny purple dragon found himself swollen with a thick layer of muscle that had definitively not been there an hour ago. His loose-fitting t-shirt was pulled skintight across his now broad chest and shoulders; riding up several inches to expose his bottom row of abs. His now thickly-muscled thighs were similarly were filling out the leg holes of his jean shorts and pulling them taunt. Though he couldn't tell exactly how much Tyler blushed a bit when he realized that another part of him had grown with his muscles if the significantly increased tightness in the front of his shorts were any indication.

Forcing himself back to his feet despite the discomfort, Tyler nearly fell down again from the unexpected disorientation of vertigo. It took the afflicted dragon several seconds to overcome the dizziness and realize that his perspective was noticeably higher than he was used too. He hadn't just sprouted an inexplicable bounty of muscle mass; he had grown taller as well!

"Holy shit..." Tyler whispered under his breath as he looked around the seemingly smaller alleyway.

He couldn't tell for sure but his best guess was that he was at least six inches taller based on how much lower things like the dumpster seemed and how much his clothes had ridden up. Experimentally the dragon raised one of his arms and awkwardly struck an unpracticed bicep flex. Immediately the thick muscle along his arm pulled taunt and bulged larger; straining its now impressive girth against the tight covering of his skin. The feeling of tightly woven cords of muscle and sinew straining and pushing outward like that felt so unexpectedly amazing that the dragon quickly found himself blushing at a sudden tightening in his pants to rival the tightening of his arm muscle. But before the former runt of a dragon could enjoy his new stature and proportions further whatever was happening to him escalated.

Another, much more intense, roll of pain spread from his core and extended out through every inch of his body. Tyler clenched his jaw and ground his teeth together to stifle a shouted snarl of agony; too overwhelmed by the pain to notice his teeth growing larger and sharper. His tail slammed against the ground in an unconscious attempt to distract it's owner from their pain and unexpectedly cracked the concrete with the force of the blow. That time Tyler did manage a vague sense of realization past the mind-numbing agony coursing through every fiber of his being. Not that he could do much about it. Especially when changes far more than just increases of height or muscle mass began violently forcing themselves onto Tyler's body.

The tail that had just slammed the ground suddenly ballooned with additional size and girth. In less than five seconds it bulged with so much additional muscle mass that it lost some of it's prehensile flexibility in exchange for raw weight and power. The next time it slammed into the concrete it didn't just shatter it; the tail smashed a long furrow into the hardened floor like it were little more than sand. The claws on both his fingers and toes expanded longer while sharpening to points far more intimidatingly sharp and wicked-looking than what the dragon normally sported. A casual flex of the dragon's toes trying to grip the ground caused the wicked toe-talons to gouge deep slices into the concrete with such ease he barely noticed it. While those changes were significant by anyone's perspective they paled in comparison to the far more eye-catching changes the rest of the dragon was going through.

His legs practically exploded in additional size and girth; becoming outright disproportional to the rest of him for a few moments. They shredded the tough denim of his shorts as if they had been nothing and continued to expand to match the immense additional mass of the mutating dragon's tail. His upper body followed with its own changes only a bit behind his lower as his torso thickened and deepened more than just from additions of muscle. His entire upper body changed shape; his spine bending to force him into a constant slight hunch forward while expanding deeper and thicker to make significantly more room for his internal organs within. Thick, hardened scales accented in several places with larger armored plates of a bone-like material spread across his entire body and only added to his increasingly bulky proportions.

Spikes of sharp ivory bone burst from his spine in regular intervals starting from his collarbone all the way down to the end of his tail. Each one elicited a fresh snarl of pain from the dragon as they grew out from beneath his skin by puncturing it from the inside only for the new scaly hide to heal around their edges almost instantly. His face took on a far more beastly proportion as his eye-ridges thickened and his muzzle elongated and expanded to nearly half again it's previous size proportional to the rest of him. More than a few of the thick, gleaming fangs that had been elongating and swelling in his mouth soon protruded from his lips to give him an intimidating overbite that screamed 'predator' to anyone that saw them. Even his horns changed; elongating to twice their previous length and thickening considerably while a second, smaller pair grew in beneath them.

Though these varied mutations took up the brunt of Tyler's attention as he tried to make sense of what was happening to him that didn't mean the other changes had stopped. If anything, they were getting faster. His body ballooned with more and more muscle mass that piled itself on to his changing proportions. Like with his tail, Tyler rapidly lost some of his range of movement in exchange for the raw power that the new mass provided. He had gone from his original puny self to powerfully muscled just before the more extreme changes started and now the best word to describe his body was hulking. Even if he hadn't gotten any taller his sheer mass would have been enough to cause the ground to shake slightly with every step he took. But he would never have a chance to test that since he very much had been getting taller this entire time.

He had only been halfway through the more extreme transformation of his body before Tyler had grown beyond a full story in height. Seconds later he was so big that his now-enormous hips -- the widest part of his new body -- were outgrowing the width of the alleyway. Walls of armored purple scale shoved against the mortar and brick walls to either side of Tyler for only an instant before his increasing mass pushed through them. But his growth only accelerated from there.

Larger and larger the increasingly monstrous purple dragon became until the two buildings he had once been between collapsed around him as he quite literally grew through them. His tail extended out into the street and soon smashed through the storefront of the building across from the alley. It caused quite a bit of chaos for traffic when cars found their path's blocked by a massive and visibly growing slab of purple-scaled muscle.

Soon more of the surrounding buildings were demolished by the mutant dragon's increasing size caused his thighs, legs, or soon just his paws to bulldoze right through them. More still simply collapsed from the increasingly violent shaking that the shifting of the behemoth's unfathomable weight or the outright earthquakes caused by his footsteps. When his enormous growth spurt finally slowed to a crawl the titanic beast that Tyler had become he had easily passed the five hundred foot mark. His monstrous visage towered over the skyline of the city and sent the population into a panic at the first sight of him.

During the entire transformation Tyler's thoughts had become increasingly dulled by the overwhelming senses of pain and disorientation. For a while during the worst of his changes he had all-but passed out; body running on little more than raw instinct while his higher conscious was overwhelmed. Only when the changes and his growth began to slow did Tyler's self-awareness start to fade back in. Yet as it did the primal, more animalistic part of his mind that housed his baser instincts refused to recede. He eventually came back to full awareness but with those normally repressed or severely filtered instincts surging, unrestrained, through his mind at the same time.

As the titanic beast that was now Tyler swung it's head around the chorus of chaos and panic raging through the city around him brought an unconscious, feral grin to his mutated muzzle. Both his conscious self and baser instincts blurred and morphed what would normally had been a sense of supreme satisfaction and glee at his new size and strength into a a more predatory thrill of supreme superiority. After spending his life being an undersized runt the sense of raw power coursing through him was like a drug that only further dulled his sense of reason. When he swung his head around to look at a crowd of people trying to run in the opposite direction from where he towered overhead his warped mind struggled to even register them as people in his eyes. Instead all they registered as to him was prey.

Prey to be hunted by the new unstoppable titan that was Tylerzilla.
