Maribel's desire to help people would be fulfilled, even if not in the way she originally had in mind.

The girl she had met on the train definitely needed help. She had no idea what had happened to her, other than the very obvious physical changes, of course. In the span of a few minutes, she had been turned from her regular old self into an anthropomorphic arctic hare. For all intents and purposes, she could no longer be considered human, what with the short, white fur covering her entire body, and the changes to her face or hands, among many others.

On the other hand, she couldn't quite be considered an animal. Her overall shape was still that of a human female, with relatively long legs and arms, as well as long fingers, even though her hands had become more like paws. She was able to walk rather easily, as her feet had swollen into thick hind paws, although she had still needed a bit of an adjustment to her new physiology.

Talking was a slightly more difficult matter. Having had a human mouth all her life, getting used to the short muzzle she had grown took some getting used to. At the very least, she was able to communicate on a very basic level with Maribel. She had agreed to come along, once Maribel had explained who she was, and how she could help.

The girl, named Lily, had taken a liking to Maribel quite quickly, and she felt her trust was unrelated to her unusual situation. It also helped that Maribel never did anything expected of a mad scientist, such as needles or surgery tables. Lily had simply been taken along to Maribel's office, where she could make calls or have a snack, if she wanted. Unlike the laboratory with vials and test chambers Lily had expected, Maribel's office was much more like a doctor or veterinarian's office.

Maribel had spent a few hours with Lily, simply talking and asking questions about her in general. It was simple chatter to make Lily feel at ease. This comfort resulted in the next changes to occur going unnoticed, at first.

While Lily's original transformation had greatly modified her body, it hadn't done much to her outfit. As the major physical changes had mostly taken place on spots uncovered by clothes, there had been no shredding of fabric as could so often been found in movies and stories. This was not a story, however, and the main changes to have happened below Lily's clothing were simply the growth of fur, which meant there was no embarrassment for her associated to public nudity.

Sadly for the girl's poor wardrobe, however, the transformation was not content to stop where it had. The gentle creaking and straining became more and more noticeable, but it still could not drown out the sound of Lily and Maribel's talk. Ironically, it was Lily's loud laughter which would reveal the changes, not by sound, but by the movements of the girl's breathing. The repeated inhaling and exhaling had added increasing pressure to the girl's gradually swelling chest, to the point where the fabric could take no more.

Like water through a shattering dam, Lily's rapidly growing breasts had burst free from the tyranny of their cotton prison. At that point, the surprise of seeing so much flesh appear seemingly out of nowhere was more of a shock than the change itself. After all, Lily had already been changed quite a bit in a short amount of time, and the rapid increase to her bust size was relatively easy to accept. After all, plastic surgery was much too common in her country, and growing in this way would hardly cause controversy.

Unlike the first transformation, which was accompanied by a mix of confusion and embarrassment, Lily seemed much more comfortable. The growth itself almost seemed exciting to her, as she had completely stopped talking, and had directed all her attention on her chest. Her white fingers tried to grab as much of the expanding flesh as they could reach, something which seemed to make the girl enjoy the change even further. To Lily, it felt like her skin would slide beneath her fingers, stretching along to include more and more volume.

The growth was slow, but gradual. What had started as a tiny, arguably flat chest covered by a thin layer of short, soft fur, eventually grew to become enormous orbs of femininity. By all common logic, the sheer weight Lily had acquired should have caused her spine to snap, yet there she was, sitting straight, and seeming to enjoy fondling her breasts with her hands and arms. While they were each nearly twice the size of her own head, she seemed to have no trouble hefting them up or squeezing them gently.

Maribel wasn't quite sure how long it had taken for the current transformation to occur from start to finish, but she knew it had been at least a minimum of fifteen minutes since she had noticed it. This meant the swelling had occurred over a relatively long period of time, leaving the flesh to slowly expand, while still progressing quickly enough to be visible to the naked eye. Of course, this just meant the ecstatic feeling for Lily could last longer, as each second seemed about as exciting as the best stimulation Maribel had ever received.

When everything was done, Maribel did her best to find out about the girl's current status, such as her emotions and her health. As she compared basic information about Lily before and after the change, she was astonished to discover that everything seemed as normal as could be. At the very least, Maribel would have assume the blood pressure to have risen, considering all the blood needed to keep those massive breasts warm and soft, yet it seemed to have stayed the same. From a medical point of view, Lily was in perfect health.

Maribel couldn't figure out what had happened. All she knew was that when each transformation first began to take place, she had directly been touching the girl. She could only guess as to why this was the case.

In an attempt to find out more about the strange phenomena she had experienced, Maribel had decided to make further tests. She had made a few calls to certain people having already demonstrated an interest in her research. For the most part, people wouldn't want to get involved with such strange results, yet there were a select few willing to experiment with their bodies. Some saw Lily's condition as a unique opportunity to become more unique. Some had other reasons in mind. As long as Maribel could help in one way or another, she didn't ask about the motivations to undergo such changes.

The first volunteer for Maribel's experiments was a semi-distant friend of hers named Natalia. She knew the woman quite well, but she couldn't tell whether the experiment was a way to help science, or simply driven by personal ambitions. To Maribel, it didn't matter, as long as Natalia was willing.

It didn't take long for the changes to occur. As predicted, Maribel needed to touch the subject directly, and after a short moment of doing so, Natalia let out a short gasp of surprise. It was as if somebody familiar had just tickled her, giving a mix of feelings of comfort and discomfort.

Unbeknownst to Maribel, the first change was not in the skin, but it was the first one either of the two women had noticed. The texture of Natalia's skin became less and less human, becoming smoother and harder, but also slightly colder. Sliding her hand down Natalia's arm, it became clear that the little bumps along the former skin were becoming scales, overlapping one another towards her hand. They were far from uniform, the scales along the flatter parts of Natalia's body, such as the arms or chest, being much larger than the ones on more articulate areas, such as sections.

It was when Natalia opened her eyes to inspect her new "skin" that Maribel noticed the very first change. The woman's formerly brown eyes had switched to a yellowish-green colour, centered by a thin, vertical black pupil, which became even thinner when exposed to the light. Maribel had decided to say nothing, and leave that part as a pleasant surprise for later.

Maribel was rather surprised to find out that even with scales along her head, Natalia had kept her hair. Casting all logic aside, Maribel couldn't help but smile at the way the shoulder length black hair seemed to be the only thing to remain the same as before. Much as was the case with Lily, Natalia's face slowly changed to become longer and rounder. The sight of the change for that part was strange, but at least it was more pleasant to look at than many CGI effects. Natalia's slightly open mouth full of many sharp teeth would have given the impression that she was grinning or smiling, but Maribel's reference for emotions came from human faces, not animal ones. It took a content sigh from Natalia to confirm that it was indeed happiness.

The transformation in Natalia's hands and feet seemed almost painful, but that was caused by confusion rather than agony. Natalia's index and middle fingers seemed to merge together, as did the ring fingers and pinky fingers. A similar thing happened to her feet. Where she once had five digits per limb, she now had three, each tipped by long, sharp talons, with each "thumb" being even larger. Maribel was slightly worried at the sight of these, but there was no aggression in Natalia's expression or movements.

The final modification to Natalia's body happened at her rear. While Lily's tail had been barely noticeable, Natalia's could not be missed. It grew out slowly but surely, until it became longer than her legs. It was very thick at its base, becoming very thin at its tip. Had Natalia remained sitting, the chair would likely have broken to make way for the tail's growth, as it made loud thumps on the ground and wall when Natalia tried to gain control of it.

The transformation over, Natalia went to rest in another room with Lily, while Maribel took notes. Raptors were extinct for millennia; they were dinosaurs, not common reptiles. She had no idea how her friend had become one, but she could only theorize.

Maribel's next patient was someone she had never met before, a woman named Kathleen. They had only communicated very briefly in the past, but this woman seemed trustworthy enough. A brief explanation was enough to give the new test subject a very vivid interest in the "procedure". The unpredictable randomness didn't seem to affect the decision.

The transformation hadn't taken place right away, that time, so they had decided to reschedule for the next day. However, when that had arrived, Maribel was amazed at the speed of the changes, compared to the previous three. Almost immediately upon touching Kathleen, Maribel felt a strange discharge between their bodies. It wasn't quite static electricity; it felt much more of a release for Maribel, like a gentle morning stretch.

While the previous cases had the transformations happen in a much more localized way, one part of the body at a time, Kathleen's was very rapid, and everything seemed to happen at once. It didn't take long for Maribel to figure out which animal Kathleen was turning into. The woman's eyes and skin went through the same process as Natalia's, but at an accelerated pace, becoming reptilian very quickly. In Kathleen's case, however, the colours were much different.

From head to toe, Kathleen's body became lined with horizontal rings of colours, following a very distinctive pattern, repeated black, yellow, red, and yellow again. The woman's legs merging into a single limb, a long snake's body, was a clear sign of what she was becoming. As Maribel took a single look at the woman's canines developing into sharp fangs, she knew to be very careful. Kathleen was becoming a coral snake, one of the most venomous species on the planet.

Unlike Natalia, Kathleen's hair quickly fell out as the scales spread across her head. It was not a disturbing sight on its own, as the woman's face was quickly becoming longer and thinner. Her forked tongue occasionally slithered in and out of her thin mouth, a motion which seemed to be an unintentional reflex.

Maribel, who had been expecting her new subject's arms to merge with the body, was rather surprised when she discovered the opposite of this was happening. Below Kathleen's original pair of arms, now scaled, but with their original humanoid hands, a new pair of arms was slow emerging. In this case, the scales were already formed, as she could tell when the new arms burst through the sides of Kathleen's shirt.

All in all, Kathleen now had the lower body of a massive coral snake, but kept the upper of a four-armed human woman, albeit with very serpentine features. She was much like the mythological n?ga of India.

This was very perplexing to Maribel. While the first two subjects displayed common animal features, that of a cat and of a hare, the following two held features of creatures that didn't exist in her world. Raptors were extinct for millennia, and n?ga were merely found in beliefs.

She had tried to think as best as she could, but could find no explanation.

The thoughts made way for increasing pressure. The same kind of pressure she had felt being released before each transformation.
