#3 of Pokerus Outbreak

This was in old contest entry on DA, of which I think I got second? I don't fully remember. Either way this is one of my personal favorites!


Josh and Sam were one of the most well known rivals in their town. Their legend started at young ages, at a simple color contest for the young children. Sam and Josh were both the last contenders standing, with Josh taking away the win. This continued on more as they grew up. They moved from color, to pumpkin carvings, to model houses. With each contest their rivalry grew, grabbing the attention of the town. Should they not have shared the competitive spirit, they would have been the best of friends. The duo's interests were nearly identical, miraculously so. Perhaps if Josh wasn't so cocky when he won. He often taunted Sam, much to Sam's annoyance. It didn't help that Josh often won. When Sam actually did beat Josh, he would only shrug it off and mention the many other wins he had against Sam.

This went into their adulthood as well. Their rivalry was easily the town's biggest, and many citizens attended contest just to see the two. Both had an equal number of fans, some liking the more underdog type Sam, while others voted for the constant winner Josh. Both Sam and Josh were sometimes pitted head to head exclusively. Their celebrity-like status in their towns were great for their local media outlets, some stories ended up going national.

One of the most famous battles between the two was a model stadium after their college went through the season defeated, and it would be included in the photoshoot, along with them. Sam and Josh were some of the most artistic people in the town, whether it came to painting, filming, fashion, you name it; so their name was riddled in the ads saying if people could take their top seat down. Both Josh and Sam built excellent models, but judges favored Sam's more. However, before the final call, Sam's model of the stadium was found destroyed overnight. It caused a huge controversy as to whether or not it was a crazy fan of Josh, or Josh himself. This led to Sam being disqualified, and Josh taking the victory. The whole story went viral, and people were more one sided than ever, either being on Sam's side or Josh's.

Sam and Josh's rivalry became only more heated from that moment. Despite the events and accusations, Josh retained his smug attitude with Sam as they still were constantly against each other. One thing that Sam had never won was the fashion contests, but when a new, unheard one came into town, he decided it was time to double down and take the throne from Josh. Sam threw himself fully into it, barely even leaving the house. The contest was simple, the theme was woman's fighting clothes. All that was required was to make one, and the best looking, most practical one would take away first place.

Sam began carefully sketching out a tight purple ninja-like outfit. He made 9 different drafts of it, until he made one he finally liked. He soon headed out to a local shop to buy all the materials he'd need to sew the costume together. I quickly got the purple and black silks he needed and proceeded to purchase his items. As he was walking out, he bumped into Josh.

"Hello Josh." Sam said with disdain in his voice.

"Sammy! Buying stuff for the fashion contest?" he replies smirking.

"Perhaps. I'm heading home now to start making the actual attire."

"You're barely starting on that?" Josh asks chuckling. "I'm done with it. Just here to get some black to refine to collar a bit." he smirks. "Behind me like always."

"Whatever. You won't be so cocky when I win!" Sam rebutted.

"Because you've won so much." he let's out a teasing sigh. "We'll see." Josh says, leaving Sam to enter the store.

Sam shakes his head angrily as he rushes back home to begin work. The deadline was still a ways away, but the fact that Josh was so far ahead got to him. Sam remained calm to ensure the outfit would come together properly. It took him about a week of careful sewing and measurements, but he had done it. Sam made an excellent, fighting attire. "Perfect." he thought to himself. He hung it up careful to avoid it getting wrinkled. Now all Sam had to do was await the day of the contest.

The days flew by and soon, the contest arrived. Sam carefully took the outfit down and headed over to the venue. It was in the form of a fashion show, so the designers would have models walk down with it. Some chose to do this themselves, while others brought in help. Sam arrived, and was greeted by one of the judges.

"Hello, I assume this is your design?" the woman asks Sam.

"Yeah, where do I put it?"

"On your model!" she says with a chipper tone. The nervous look on Sam signaled to her that he didn't have a model. "No problem!" she said happily. "You worked hard on it, just put it on and you'll model it fine! Trust me!" she says, running her hand down the outfit. "The changing rooms are around that corner." she said pointing to the direction.

"Th-thanks. Sam said a bit embarrassed, going around the corner to a set of rooms. Before he enters, Josh comes up next to him.

"You didn't have a model either huh?" he asks Sam.

"No, I was to busy making the winning costume." Sam responded annoyed.

"Didn't know you helped me." Josh chuckles. "Well see who wins." he smirks, entering his room next to Sam's.

"Yeah, we'll see it be me!" Sam calls to him before entering his own room. "I'll show him this time." Sam muttered under his breath as he began to strip down to just his boxers. He began to put on his outfit, tight in some places, loose in others. Next door, Josh had taken off all of his clothes, save for his underwear. Josh slipped on a tight red combat dress with black collar, the dress opening at the legs for better movement. Both of the guys tried to leave the room, finding themselves unable to open the doors. "W-what's going on!?" they both thought to themselves.

For Sam, hair began to enter into his vision. It was his normal black hair either, it was a bright yellow, causing Sam's eyes to widen. Sam looked into the body mirror and noticed a large strand of purple hair on him and his eyebrows were much less hairy. Sam watched himself in horror, unable to even speak as fuchsia. Around his eyes, oval patches of purple fur formed, Sam's own eyes burned as they became larger, turning light blue. Sam's whole head hurt as his skull reshaped, his face pushing outward into a muzzle, his nose became small and black at the tip of it. Sam's mouth became attached to his new muzzle.

Fuchsia fur soon conquered Sam's entire body, much to the man's dismay. Sam watched in horror as his arms became more slender and his hands transformed to more closely resemble paws. His shoulders cracked in forward, leaving them in feminine shape as Sam felt his figure contort into a feminine hourglass shape, his hips wider and waist more narrow. The next change sent Sam into full-blown panic as two orbs of flesh push outward, filling in the loose chestpiece as he grew C cup breasts.

The worst part for Sam came as his manhood began shrinking away. "No, no, no, no!" he thought to himself as he tried to grab it and hold onto it. However this was all in vein as it entered into Sam's body, turning his insides into that meant for a female, only a flat surface left behind. Sam whimpered in her new high pitched voice as her rear grew outward greatly. A sharp pain from Sam's backside came and forced her to her knees, Sam's legs becoming shapely as she did so. A bushy fuchsia tail poked out from her outfit, which magically altered so it had a hole for her tail. The last of Sam's changes came as her feet became paws and shrunk in size.

In the other room, Josh's body was also changing. His feet became paws as orange fur began to ride up from them, stopping at his waist. At Josh's chest, a large patch of beige fur formed that went down to his waist, meeting with the orange. Around the beige the orange fur grew, going down his arms as well. The beige grew up his neck and the front of his face, stopping at his forehead while the surrounding areas grew orange fur.

Josh's legs became more slim and shapely to resemble a set of female legs. His hips pushed outward as his rear extended, causing the dress to become tight at there. A whole appeared as he winched forward in pain as a long beige tail erupted out of Josh, naturally curling itself. While Josh's tail was growing, he failed to realize his manhood shrink away, leaving only a feminine slit behind on the outside, the man's reproductive system morphing radically to fit his, or rather her new gender.

Josh finally regained herself as her waist became thinner and her back took on an arch shape. She felt pressure building at her chest and looked down. "B-B-brea..." Josh stuttered to herself, unable to form words as two boobs pushed outward until they filled out the dress at B cups. The panic in Josh's mind only arose as her arms became slender while her hands became more pawlike.

Josh was going to feel her new parts, but another pain struck her before she could as her face pushed outward into a small snout, her nose becoming small and black at the tip. Josh's eyes became larger while sky blue eyeshadow formed on her eyelids, along with mascara. Josh's eyebrows thinned out while her ears became pointed and covered in both beige and orange fur. Lastly, Josh's blonde hair turned brunette as it grew down to her neck.

Both Josh and Sam's doors unlocked and the two new woman rushed out the doors. Both caught a glare of each other and kept eye contact for a while. Josh began to smirk and approached closer to Sam. Sam stood her ground and an annoyed expression came on her face.

"Well Miss Samantha," Josh said maintaining her smug look. "Guess we have appropriate models now." Inside Josh's mind, she was terrified, but she didn't want Sam to realize that, and found solace in the rivalry.

"Works better for me, now I'm a sure-win!" Sam responses, maintaining her expression.

"Well we'll see about that won't we?" Josh says as she struts away to the line, Sam following shortly.

"Give it up for local legend Josh with his combat dress design! Modeled by someone very close to him!" the announcer said as Josh strutted out, using throwing kicking and punches to show the mobility of the outfit, despite it's more sexy attributes. The judges looked quite pleases with it. Josh returned behind the curtain. "Good luck following that up." Josh said smugly before walking more backstage to chat with other designers.

"Next up another local legend Sam! Will his design beat out Josh's? Let's find out with Sam's combat outfit! This will be modeled by someone close to Josh as well." the announcer said as Sam took deep breath and jump kicked her way onto the stage to show it's restraint free attributes. She focused a lot on kicks, as the sleeves were quite thin, and it was obvious she could move her arms easily. Granted she still threw a few punches just to prove so to the judges. The response was on par with Josh's, the judges having similar scores for the two.

After a few more contestants went, and a short intermission, it was time to announce the winners. "Will the following three designers come up! Stacey! Josh! and Sam!" Both boys(or woman more appropriately) along with Stacey went up onto the stage.

"Who are you two? Your the models, not the guys!" the announcer said.

"It's them." a female judge spoke up. "They didn't have models for their costumes, so they became models. Can't fix it so this is them now." she said as if it was nothing.

"Oh...okay then!" the announcer shrugged it off. Fear filled both Josh and Sam, finding out they wouldn't be able to turn back. Before they could truly react, the announcer let out: "In third place, Stacey!" he said, handing her a bronze medal.

This caused both Sam and Josh to look at each other, knowing one of them would take the contest. Josh smirked at Sam "I'll happily live with this if it means I won." she whispered to Sam.

Sam face took on a more serious look, "I didn't become a dog woman for second." she responded. "Win or lose, the possibility of beating you more after this will keep me going."

The announcer finally spoke up. "And the winner is..."
