Navajo and Thylin both awoke at around the same time, the two felines found themselves on a cold metal floor as their senses began to return to them. Thylin was the first to completely awaken, though everything felt... off as he tried to squirm onto his feet. When he tried to look around everything had a strange red tinge to it, and as he put his hands to his face he could feel a strange synthetic cloth texture to it and his features felt smoothed over like they weren't even there.

When Thylin looked down at his hands he could see why, his fingers were covered with a type of patterned spandex that almost seemed to mimic his own color pattern. The synthetic material didn't just stop at his hands either, his entire body shivered as a gloved hand slid up the smooth, unbroken bodysuit all the way up to shoulders and down his chest. Even though he was in a strange place the touch of the suit caused him to tremble in unexpected pleasure as his already androgynous features were even more muted then before. As he slid a hand down between his legs though he was thankful for the bulge he felt down there, although it caused Thylin to squirm even more in pleasure.

A sudden noise and a pull against his backside made the ocelot look over to find his friend and partner Navajo in a similar suit to his own, only her coloration was a bright, almost dazzling white as the spandex accentuated her stunning frame. It also removed any distinctive markings that he recognized aside from her oversized ears and huge tail, and like his own sex hers was completely covered and only left a vague outline of her female parts. As he looked down between her spread thighs and at her coated tail he saw some of his own coloration mixed in with hers. When he followed the thick appendage he realized that it was because it seemed that their two tails had merged right at the tailbase, there was no sign of any creases or seams and when he tried to wag his own tail he saw Navajo squirm as their shared tail wiggled around between the two of them. They tried to say something to each other, but with the spandex over their mouths the only thing they could make were muffled noises as one of the walls suddenly lit up.

"Well, it looks like our two familiar felines are starting to wake up." They heard as a silver dragon appeared on the screen. "Welcome to your challenge Navajo and Thylin. As I'm sure you can see you're in a pair of what seem to be a pair of seamless zentai suits, with a very interesting twist attached to them. The spandex of your two suits will bond and merge to one another if they are pressed together, just like your tails are now. The absorption of one partner will be based on who is pushing on who, and the mass will be added to the partner that is doing the absorbing to create some very interesting effects. Any questions so far?"

The two tried to voice their questions, but again the only sounds they could make are muffled noises before Argos continued on. "I thought not. Now the way to win the challenge is simple, a tank of spandex remover is attached to a shower on the other side of the room, but to activate it you'll have to release the three locks that are attached to the primary mechanism. How you do it is up to you, you'll have ten seconds to formulate a plan as best you can, and then one minute to perform the act itself. Good luck you two, your time starts now."

After the brief explanation was complete the two looked at each other, then at the room that surrounded them. They could see the shower on the far side of the wall, which was nothing more than a showerhead suspended from the ceiling with a pull handle like an emergency chemical wash system. The three locks were also clearly seen, one was at eye level with them and looked simple enough to get to, one was suspended higher up on the wall beyond their reach, and the last one looked like it was split into two separate mechanisms that were fairly far away from one another.

Despite their inability to talk the two formulated a plan in order to get the three locks finished in the minute that they had. They didn't have long though, and ten seconds later they heard a noise that signaled the beginning of the round. The two immediately ran towards the lock that was actually split into two, their combined spandex tails stretching as they navigated their way towards the wall. Even though they could both see through the material their vision was obscured, the spandex covered creatures took great strides not to touch each other as they each got to a lock.

Thylin got to his half of the lock first, pushing the white button that was in the middle of the mechanism just as Navajo got to hers and pushed it. There was a second before both buttons turned red and made an angry buzzing noise. Thylin scratched his chin, though the feel of spandex on spandex sent a shiver down his body and he realized that he was only arousing himself more. He looked over to Navajo and indicated a countdown, the curvy female nodding in reply though it looked like she also had the same problems he had with touching her own body and the feel of the material rubbing against itself.

The two contestants gave each other a second to get coordinated before the two felines held up three fingers to each other. They counted down from three slowly enough for them both to coordinate with each other, dropping it down to two fingers and then to one. With a small nod they both pushed the button at the exact same time, and as they watched the light turned green with an approving chirp and a similar green light came on at the site of the shower.

With the one that required them to be the furthest apart out of the way they ran towards the second lock, which seemed to be quite a bit more complex than the first one. There were eight buttons on the lock arranged in a square in alternating colors of blue and yellow, and as Navajo pressed all the buttons at once they all turned a similar white. At first it looked like it worked, but then it once more gave an angry buzz and turned red. When she stepped aside Thylin tried his own idea and put one hand on one set of buttons while his other hand pushed down the others, but just like the cougar's first try it ended with the lights flashing red and a loud buzzer noise.

By then over half their time had elapsed, but after a few more failed attempts it became clear on what they had to do in order to activate the lock. As carefully as they could they each took a color and wound their arms around each other, being extremely careful not to touch their spandex-covered arms together as their digits hovered over the buttons. They kept their limbs steady as they pushed the buttons as much at the same time as they could, then waited for the lights in the same positions as before in case they had to do it again. Much to their relief the lights all turned green, which signaled their second victory as they just as carefully untangled their arms from each other without touching once more.

If they could the two would have breathed a sigh of relief, but with their mouths completely covered all they did was wordlessly nod to each other and move onto the final lock. It was the one that both of them knew was going to cause them the most difficulty, their heads craned back to see the lock over their heads. Luckily it looked like the lock disengage mechanism was a single button, they just had to reach it...

After a few seconds of silent debating Thylin bent down on one knee and gestured for the taller female to hop up on his shoulders. Even though it would be a bit risky for the two to accidently fall over and be stuck merged like that it also gave them the most stability and the least amount of contact points over time. As carefully as she could she put her legs around the ocelot's head and wrapped them around his neck. At first Thylin was going to put his own hands around her legs for added stability but as soon as the white spandex touched his chest her limbs had already sunk partially into his body. The entire sensation was surreal, both of them feeling a strange sexual charge as their zentai suits continued to merge.

Thylin tried to keep his head separate as he got onto his feet, but her groin had already merged with his neck and it almost felt like he was being suctioned in as the back of his head knitted with the front of her crotch. At first he was worried, especially as nearly half his head and his ears sank into her groin and thigh areas, that he would lose consciousness when his head was subsumed. The more that he became a part of her body though the better it felt, and he was still able to feel his body as his arms braced against the wall...

Navajo was glad at that point that her mouth was basically gagged, otherwise Thylin would have heard her loud moan of pleasure as his head pressed against her feminine sex and sank into her body. She could feel her lower body shift and change as it merged with the ocelot's, as much as she wanted to rub her hands against the conjoined areas she wasn't sure if her hands would stick and instead was content to rub her breasts in order to try and redistribute the pleasure slightly. It didn't help much though, especially as the last of Thylin's face smoothed out and formed into a taut stomach and she could feel the vibrations of what she assumed was his speech.

Their merging wasn't the only thing that was happening to them either, as Thylin's body continued to fuse with hers his arms thickened and warped until they became a distinct set of forelimbs, still braced against the wall as his body grew bigger. As she looked down she saw that her body had become tauric, and though his head was no longer there she could feel her partner's presence there in their merged body as she saw their looped tail wag behind them. The other thing she could see caused her to look away in slight embarrassment, Thylin's altered tool hung between their legs in a fully erect spandex state.

Even with the extremely blissful distraction Navajo managed to keep her head together long enough to stretch up, her new feline-taur body more than able to clear the distance and push the button. It was relatively simple, the second she pushed it in the white plastic turned green and the last light on the shower came on. There were still ten seconds left on the clock, though when Navajo pushed away with 'her' forelimbs her entire body fell to the floor with a loud thud. They quickly recovered though and the conjoined felines made their way to the emergency chemical shower.

After a few more slips on the steel floor under their spandex covered paws they reached their destination and pulled the handle, a light blue liquid rained down on them and ate away the material that covered her body like acid. The second her skin was exposed she felt another jolt from her groin as she watched the ocelot's head separate from her body once more. He let out a gasp as the thick material washed away from his face, partially from the pleasure but also from the intense sensation of his body reforming back to its former state.

"Well well, the felines have the best time that I've seen so far." Argos said as he reappeared on a different screen while the two contestants washed the rest of the spandex from their bodies. "Congrats, that was certainly an exciting show of 'bonding' that I've ever witnessed. Now that you're all cleaned up and ready to go I look forward to seeing you in the next room."

Navajo and Thylin looked at each other, and when they looked back towards the dragon he found that the screen had turned to black and a door had silently opened underneath it. "Well, no point in wasting any more time here." She said as she was about to wring the last of the liquid from her hair only to find that it was perfectly dry. "I was a bit worried there for a second that we were in serious trouble, but it seems that this game in merely perverted and not dangerous."

"Yes I know you were a bit upset, I think I could hear your thoughts when my brain melded with your... nethers." Thylin replied, feeling his embarrassment rise slightly at such a comment. Before he could think of anything to offset it the silver collars that had remained on both felines began to beep insistently. "Well, it looks like our 'host' is urging us on anyway, I guess let us continue forward then."

********************************

Sigma awoke suddenly and with a loud groan, the black fox attempted to get up only to bang his head against something clear that forced him back down. "Murphy?" He called out, his own voice echoed back to him as his hands began to feel around. Once his eyes adjusted better he found himself in a box roughly big enough to hold his body and made out of a clear plastic material. As he looked up he saw a familiar black wolf in a similar holding cell to his own. "Murphy!"

"Sigma?" Murphy groaned out as he overcame the powerful tranquilizer that he and his partner had been dosed with and saw the fox look at him with concern. "Ah, there you are, don't suppose you know how we got here, huh?"

"I just woke up myself." Sigma replied as he banged on the walls, unable to find any type of exit that would allow them to escape. "Quite the situation you got us in this time..."

"Now now, we both agreed to accept the invitation." Murphy replied as he inspected his own holding cell. "Besides, other than getting drugged and dragged into a strange cell completely naked by a mysterious person with unknown intentions so far this has been rather positive experience." As they both chuckled the wolf noticed something glint around Sigma's neck and it prompted him to reach up to his own neck and feel something metallic around it. "Well, not completely naked it seems..."

"Well well, looks like you two are taking this in stride." They suddenly heard outside of their containment vessels, a picture of Argos appearing on the wall that their cells shared. "Welcome Murphy and Sigma, my name is Argos and I'll be your host for the remainder of this game. Now I'm sure you're wondering what you're doing inside a plastic cube."

Murphy and Sigma looked at each other for a second in disbelief, then turned back to Argos. "Um... yeah." Sigma replied. "It is a little weird."

"Well I'm sure it's nothing weirder then you've been through before." Argos said with a chuckle. "Although that will change very soon. You two are locked in a specialized tube, and as you crawl through it you will reach several areas where the walls are suctioned together to prevent you from crawling any further. The only way that one of you can continue forward is to push a button in special waypoints that will allow the other partner to pass though, however as you hold it down you will find that there will be a... 'distraction' to try and prevent you from your task as well as make it harder for you to continue. You have one minute for both members of your team to reach the other side, failure to do so will result in your immediate forfeiture of this game, got it?"

Both contestants nodded, which prompted the AI to give them a thumb-ups and told him that they had ten seconds to prepare before the doors opened. The two quickly scrambled out of their room and into the tunnel, still having to crawl as the hard plastic turned into a soft, rubber like material. A few feet ahead they found out what the dragon meant by the corridor being closed off. Sigma was the first to reach the first barrier before them, though as he investigated it he found that it wasn't a wall at all but the tunnel itself. The walls were so vacuum sealed that he could only feel a small hole right in the middle that would indicate an opening.

After the black fox had finished his investigation he looked over to see that Murphy had made the same investigation, their attention turned to the only other thing in the corridor. It was a red button that was about halfway up on the wall, though it didn't look like it was connected to anything else besides that. The two looked at each other and they tried to ask each other who wanted to go first, but with the thick rubber their voices were nothing more than a muffle when they reached each other. With the first few seconds off the clock already they didn't want to go back to the beginning to talk, so they tried to mime out which one would press the button first.

Murphy took the initiative and pressed down the button, almost instantly the tube in front of Sigma opened up to allow him to crawl through. As the wolf watched his partner scramble through the newly opened passage he thought to himself that he didn't understand what Argos had meant by a distraction, so far he hadn't seen or felt anything that would cause him-

A sudden prod against his exposed tailhole caused his thoughts to be immediately interrupted. As he bent his head down and looked under his belly he saw that the clear plastic rubber had formed into a tentacle between his legs and pushed up under his tail. "What the hell?!" He shouted before he had to grit his teeth as the unnaturally smooth appendage slid into his body with lubed ease and pressed intimately into his insides. "Hah, gonna have to do better... nggg... than that you stupid dragon."

As though to answer his challenge a few seconds later he looked back down to see something else travel up the tentacle towards his anal opening. "Oh come on!" He shouted before he reached both hands back and arched his back to stop the semi-transparent blue orb that headed for his body. As the object stopped dead in its tracks he gasped as he realized that he had just let go of the button, looking over to Sigma's tube and saw his friend completely encased in the clear rubber...

Sigma had crawled frantically through the long corridor the entire time it was open, the entire time looking for a waystation in order to get his partner to the other side as well. Suddenly the walls around him suctioned in, which caused his body to become frozen in place as the thick rubber closed in all around him. He couldn't even wiggle because his body was completely encased, everything except for a small channel of air in the middle of the collapsed tunnel that allowed him to breathe. Despite the intensity of the situation the cool material actually felt good against his fur, though the pleasure that the full body hug was drowned out by the want to continue on, even with the rubber rubbing against his throbbing tool.

Then, just as quickly as the rubber surrounded him, Sigma found his prison retreat from his body. He looked back to see what had happened that caused Murphy to let go in the first place, and his jaw nearly dropped when he saw the thick tentacle lodged firmly in his friend's backside. The fox didn't dwell too long on it though, he knew they were still on the clock and with his limbs free he scrambled his way to the other side of the tunnel to another clear plastic box similar to the first. On one of the walls was a button that no doubt controlled the suction on the other side of the tunnel, which was confirmed to the fox when he pressed it down and saw the passageway open. As he held it down he began he began to see something push out of the clear plastic in front of him, forming into a tentacle with a cup on the end that wagged in front of his face...

Murphy panted heavily as he kept his finger on the button, his cock throbbing madly as the tentacle that had continued to slither into his body deposited yet another egg-like object into his body. It was the latest of half a dozen, each one caused his body to jolt with pleasure as he concentrated only on the task at hand. Had this been any other time he may have enjoyed the otherworldly delight, but he knew he and Sigma had come to the game to win and he wasn't going to do that by stroking himself off.

Just as the seventh one began to press past the loosened ring of muscle he saw the passageway off to his left open, the black-furred wolf letting out an exasperated sigh of relief as he let go of the button. He let out a half-growl, half-groan as the egg and ovipositor tendril retreat, his entire body shook as nearly a foot of the slick appendage was pulled out of his body. Once it was completely free he began to crawl down the newly-created tunnel himself, knowing that his friend was no doubt experiencing the same thing he had. Unfortunately the six spheres inside his gut slowed him down, one of his paws held against his belly that looked like it belonged to a three month pregnant woman.

More than once he felt the strange walls that surrounded him close in on his form, but it was only for a few seconds before the wolf was able to move forward once more. Despite the momentary hindrances and his large belly he was able to make it to the end fairly quickly, it appeared from what he could see that their challenge was two-thirds of the way over and they had only used up half their time. Both he and Sigma had to only transverse through one more tunnel in order to reach the end it looked like, though as he looked down at his partner he wondered if that was going to be easier said then done...

Sigma's jaw was stretched open wide, forced to breathe through his nose with the thick tentacle completely down his throat. The suction cup end of the tentacle had attached to his face only a few seconds after he had pushed down the button, which then sealed against his face as he felt an internal one push past his lips and slither into his maw. At first he was worried he would choke, but the gel-like liquid that it secreted seemed to suppress his gag reflex as a bulge appeared at the base of the already thick appendage. His eyes widened as he saw a spherical crystalline object slide through the clear tentacle and make its way towards his maw, followed closely by a second.

The fox tried to hold his mouth shut against the intruder but the gag kept his mouth open as the object slid inside. The feeling was indescribable, his already hard cock twitched slightly as the sphere slid down the tentacle in his mouth and stretched out his throat before it was deposited into his stomach. It was quickly followed by a second one, then a third, and by the time the fourth one slid into his gullet he could feel his entire body quivering and his stomach beginning to stretch. After a little while he lost count as all his focus went into keeping that little red button pressed down.

Suddenly a knock brought his attention up to Murphy, the wolf already past the tunnel and motioning for him to let go and continue. At first Sigma wanted to say no and let his partner pass all the way to the end, but by now it took all his effort not to start to stroke himself off right there. With only a little coaxing he stopped holding down the button, the tentacle immediately stopped depositing the egg-like objects into him and slithered out of his maw with startling speed. When it was completely out he saw Murphy press his button, then the tunnel next to him open up into what he hoped was the end.

"Oh dear..." Sigma said as he crawled though, his belly sagged with the weight of the spheres in his belly. He tried to go as fast as he could though and his black fur dragged along the bottom of the latex tunnel. Even so he managed to get to the end with more than twenty seconds left, the floor underneath him lit up with a green glow. The only other thing in the room was something that caused him pause, a single red button on the side of the wall. "Great..."

Back on the other side Murphy had already started on his trek through the last section of the tunnel after the tentacle had finally removed itself from his mouth, his belly now loaded down with twice as many eggs as before. When he was only halfway through the tunnel he could see the fate that had befallen him... the fox's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his skull as he was penetrated from both ends by the thick tentacles, his legs no longer able to touch the ground from the sheer size of his belly and the spheres that loaded him down. The wolf could tell that his resolve was fading, even as he got close to the end he could see the walls start to close in around him.

"Oh come on!" Murphy said as he reached the final room, unfortunately the exit to the hallway was too small for his stuffed belly to fit through. "Sigma, push the button more!"

Sigma could see his partner struggling, unfortunately his stomach looked like a nine-month pregnancy was happening as the timer ticked down from five seconds. His cock was so hard he felt like steel and he wanted nothing more than to rub it as he enjoyed the fullness of his belly... but in the end his resolve won out and he pushed down as hard as he could. Murphy let out a gasp of relief as the space opened long enough for him to push through, the floor turning green with two seconds left to go. As soon as they both reached their goal not only did the barriers disintegrate but the objects inside their bodies as well as their taut bellies deflated.

"Fantastic, even egg-laden you manage to work together in order to get to your goal, another example of teamwork this round.." Argos said as their stomachs returned to their normal size, though as their hands rubbed over the fur they felt a small, lingering bulge there. "Ah yes, consider that a party favor for a job well done. Now hurry onward... your competition is awaiting patiently I'm sure..."

********************************

"Ow! Watch the tail!" Navajo said as the two felines made their way through the dark hallway. Thylin apologized once more, the two hardly able to see each other in the dim track lighting that illuminated the narrow passage on the other side of the door. After a few minutes the space suddenly opened up, though it was pitch dark inside the new room which prevented them from assessing the scope of the new space. "Great, where are we now?"

"I don't know, but I'm glad for the space." Thylin replied as they slowly moved forward with their hands out. "I know that you were probably comfortable in that cramped confines but I need a little room to stretch out. Especially after the whole zentai suit thing we were just in."

Navajo just nodded as she slid her hands along the wall of the room, though she stayed in the realm of the limited light as best she could. "You know if we could figure out how that was done we could probably make a mint selling that sort of thing." She speculated as her hands came across something that was invisible yet clearly preventing her from moving further into the other area of the room. "Plus just think about what other things are in place here, all for what? Some sort of contest run by someone that decided he would rather knock us out and put us in some weird zentai suit rather than just ask politely?"

"I'm not sure if we should be speculating this Navajo." Thylin replied as he stuck near the entrance of the hallway they had just come from. "That Argos thing is probably watching us right now."

The abino cougress let out of huff as she continued to examine the barrier, about to reply when she noticed a dark shape move on the other side of the wall. As she tried to peer closer in order to make out what it was the lights in the room suddenly came to life and she found herself staring face to face at a black-furred fox. Both retreated back slightly at seeing the other, and both Thylin and Sigma went over to their respective teammates when they saw what was going on. "Hey boys, can you hear us?" She asked.

"Yeah, we can hear you." Sigma replied with relief, glad to see someone else as she looked the other two naked furs up and down. "Thank god there are others... wait, I remember you guys, we were talking right before the guy in the mask tranquilized all of us!"

"Well, it's good that you're memory functions seem to have been unaffected." A now-familiar voice said as they looked up to see the daunting face of Argos look down at them from a screen attached to the far wall. I hope that you're albeit relatively brief period of getting to know one another will not prevent you from competing to your fullest in today's challenge."

As the silver dragon paused something else began to appear on the far side of the room they were in, which was quite far away, the light coalescing until what looked like exact replicas of their opponents stood there. "For your group we will be having an archery challenge." Argos explained. "You will take the bow and arrows provided for you and fire at the projections of your opponents with them while behind the colored line. Each time you land a hit your opponent will change accordingly as per what my random interface has chosen. You each get a chance to shoot per round and in the event of a tie we will have a sudden death shoot-off. Good luck, and you may fire when ready!"

When the AI finished speaking tables suddenly appeared in front of them, each one with a similarly colored bow and one arrow next to it. The four contestants each grabbed their respective weapon, all of them inspecting it to some degree as well as the single arrow that sat beside it. "Amazing, even though it's probably a projection it feels real." Thylin said as he eyed up the bow itself. "Perhaps we should take our shots quickly in case the other side tries to distract us..."

"Hey, you know what you guys could do to distract us?" Murphy called out. "You could have the cougar press herself up against the glass!"

Navajo frowned slightly, then perked up when she looked down at the projections. "Hey Argos, the one on the left is the wolf, right?"

"That is correct." Argos answered.

"Perfect..." she said as she grabbed the arrow and nocked it against the string. Thylin was about to ask her what she was going to do when she let her arrow fly towards the wolf, the three males watching as the projectile struck the projection square between the legs.

Murphy let out a half-growl half-moan as he suddenly felt an intense tingle between his legs, falling to his knees as he cupped his crotch. "Perhaps antagonizing them was not the best idea you've had." Sigma said as he tried not to smile, though his bemused demeanor quickly turned to shock as he saw something creep up against his abdomen. When the wolf finally pulled his hands away they saw that the fur there had been replaced by a layer of obsidian scales, the fox turning to Argos who had taken to reading a book. "Exactly what are we changing into Argos?"

"What?" Argos replied, looking down at the whimpering wolf as the scales continued to creep down his up his torso and down his legs. "Oh, hmmm... ah yes, you got 'snake', though I thought I would keep things spicy and go with a nice, wholesome naga transformation."

"Naga you say." Thylin said as he took his own arrow and got it ready. "Well let's see how you both look in scales!" He fired his shot as straight as he could, unfortunately the arrow hit the floor and skidded against the far side of the wall. "Ah, too short..."

"My turn." Sigma said as he readied his own shot. "Don't worry Murphy, we got this." He shot his arrow at the projection of the ocelot that had just tried to transform him, and unlike his opponent his arrow found the mark and stuck into the fake Thylin's right shoulder. The fox grinned triumphantly as he looked over to see the feline holding his shoulder, the fur there disappearing and being replaced with red and white patterned scales.

"Thylin!" Navajo said as she rushed over to him, her fingers brushing over the hard scale and causing Thylin to shiver. "Are you hurt?"

"No... it actually feels quite pleasant." Thylin admitted with a sheepish smile. "It appears that everything in this tournament is made to stimulate the pleasure receptors of the brain, not a bad way to fight if I say so myself. I can feel it transforming me inside and out, it feels... Navajo, your stomach..."

The female cougar looked at him in confusion, then down at herself as she saw the fur of her stomach melt and merge into a similar coating of scales that began to spread from her torso. As she looked over she saw why, Murphy waving at her as her gaze landed upon the arrow that stuck out of her projection's stomach. She had to suck in a deep breath as the pleasurable sensations reached her feminine folds, the scales almost tickling her as they wrapped around her legs and thighs. She wasn't the only one who's sex changed, Murphy's member had changed into a tapered, reptilian shaft that was the same black color as the scales that surrounded it as another round of arrows suddenly appeared on the table.

Once more it was Navajo that scored a direct hit, the other three contestants either aiming poorly or not giving it enough strength before Murphy began to change more. As the rest of them watched he braced himself against the table as the scaled flesh of his legs fused together, which sucked his tail in as well while the thick scales assimilated their way up his chest and to his neck. His eyes squeezed shut from the pleasure of the transformation cascading over him, and after several pops from his spine connecting with his new length of serpentine coils they opened up to reveal slits instead of his normal eyes. "Hey... you still there Murphy?" Sigma asked in worry.

"Yeah... though these feelings are intense..." Murphy replied, his voice hissing slightly as his new forked tongue stuck out. "Don't worry though, I got this, and there's no why she's going to hit that target again."

"Watch me." Navajo replied as their third round of arrows suddenly appeared. She grabbed the projectile and put it on the string. The other three just watched as the female feline took aim, paused for a second as she took a breath, then let the arrow fly. The trajectory was just as true as her first shot, only this time it hit the hologram of the wolf dead between the eyes before the entire illusion shattered completely. "Yeah!"

"Murphy has been eliminated." An electronic voice called out. "The contestant will be allowed to take his final shot before elimination transformation is completed."

"Damn, looks like I'm out." Murphy said, the two watching as Thylin botched yet another shot to hit the representation of Sigma. "If we can both hit our targets this time though then you'll only need two shots to take them both down, and they'll need at least two rounds to take you out now. Let's do this."

"Yeah, let's do it." Sigma replied with a nod, the two friends grabbing their arrows at the same time. With Thylin and Navajo already finished with their shots they were able to watch as they both concentrated down the firing range, both of their arms quivering slightly as they took extra time to line up their shots. Finally they both fired at about the same time, their arrows sailed through the air before they both dug into their respective targets in their chest areas.

"Yeah!" Sigma cried out as he saw they had both landed their shots. "Nice shooting Murphy!... Murphy?"

The black fox turned and gasped slightly as the former canine clutched his head with clawed digits, letting out a moan as his ears melted and flattened against his head as the black scales swept over his skull. As Murphy's mouth opened the other three could see his jaw unhinge as his muzzle flattened, his front teeth growing into fangs. When the new naga looked at his partner again it was with blood red eyes, the serpant's back arched as the skin along his head and neck flared out into a cobra hood while it gazed at Sigma with hungry eyes. As the naga slithered towards the fox however it stopped, then arched back and quickly shook its head before it looked down at Sigma with a look of genuine concern.

"Sorry..." Murphy apologized with a hiss, backing away slightly while trying not to let his hands drift down to his new member. "For a second there all I could think of was lust, but I think I got it under control now."

"Oh good, I was hoping I wouldn't have to enact the restraint system." Argos called out, causing all four contestants to look up at him. "Looks like we have a two on one battle here, but the fox has yet to take a hit. Hopefully his good fortune continues with two shooting at him instead of just one."

"We can do this Thylin." Navajo said, her own words slurred slightly as she tried to get used to the snake tongue she had been given as their next round of arrows appeared. Both felines now had the bodies of snakes from the waist down and the majority of their fur had been consumed by colored scales. The only thing that remained feline about them were their heads, and even those had subtle reptilian aspects to them just like Murphy had before his final transformation. "We both hit him this time and we'll have him on the ropes. Plus if he doesn't hit you this time then we'll pretty much win because we-"

"Thylin has been eliminated." The two felines suddenly heard, their heads snapped around to see that Sigma has planted his third arrow into the ocelot's fake body.

"Looks like we're going to have to both hit on this one if we have any chance of winning." Thylin said, the two holding hands for the briefest of seconds before they turned their attention back to the targets. Navajo went first and continued her perfect streak by hitting Sigma for the first time in the thigh, the fox letting out a surprised yelp as his hands shot down to the scales that began to cover his leg and groin area. When it was Thylin's turn he let out a deep breath and aimed, pulling the arrow back as hard as he could before he released it and sank the arrowhead into the fake Sigma's shoulder and caused the real version to fall down from the second wave of pleasure.

"It's all up to youuurrrrrr..." Thylin tried to say before his words dropped off, his muzzle clamping shut as the flesh and bone swelled and shifted until it resembled the head of a python. He dropped the bow while his transformation progressed, his arms falling to his sides as they thickened with muscle just like the wolf before him. As the changes reached their climax the naga looked at Navajo with gleaming yellow eyes, though the only emotion behind them was both confusion and composure as he took a clawed hand and felt his new face and musculature. "Oh man, if I wasn't in front of my partner and two strangers I could be having so much fun right now..."

"Looks like it's just you and me." Sigma said from beyond the barrier, the targets shifting so that they stood alone on the firing line while their transformed partners slithered towards the back. "Wanna go at the same time?"

"Fine by me." Navajo replied, her white-scaled reptilian lower body coiled up on itself much like the former fox's black-scaled form. They both watched each other as they grabbed the arrow of what could be their final round. The two took one last glance at each other before they aimed their shots, the entire room dead silent as their partners watched with anxious expressions. When they both let go that silence was quickly broken by a thud and a clang, one of the targets had an arrow stuck in it while the other had flown wide of its mark and hit the wall behind it. The target that had been hit shattered like the others, leaving only one contestant left down the range.

"Oh cr-" Sigma started to say before his entire body shuddered, dropping his bow as his head began to reshape and his fangs began to grow longer. At the same time the thick serpentine bodies of Thylin and Navajo melted away like lumps of wax, revealing their legs underneath as they ran to each other and hugged in celebration. Overhead they heard the computer voice tell them that Sigma had been eliminated, though it was quite apparent as the last of the fox's vulpine features were covered with scales and another black-scaled naga joined the first.

"Well done Navajo, a perfect score with some rather impeccable shots." Argos commented as he pressed a button on the tablet he held and blue beams of light shot out of the wall and wrapped around the two fully formed nagas. "You and Thylin will be moving on, but before you do I have a question to ask of you. If you wish you can end your opponents run right here and now, or you can choose to show them mercy and let them continue on in the competition. What is your choice?"

"They were a fun bunch, I guess let them go and continue on the competition." Navajo said, Thylin nodding in agreement. "So can we go now?"

"Of course, just head off the door to your left while I take care of our defeated pair of nagas." Argos replied as the hidden door next to them slid open.

Navajo quickly dashed through the door, but as she did Thylin looked at the threshold before he went back to the barrier between him in the defeated opponents. "Hey, can you guys still hear me?" He asked, which caused the two nagas to look up at him. "Since we decided to spare you and all, perhaps we can work out some sort of-"

There was a loud buzzing noise that suddenly interrupted him and the barrier between them suddenly went black. Thylin took a step back as his collar began to beep, Argos wagging a finger at him. "Now now, no fraternizing with the losers of the competition." He chided as the beeping grew more and more intense. "I would leave now, activation of the collar within a restricted zone is grounds for immediate forfeiture."

Thylin looked at the Artificial Intelligence for a second, then turned and ran the same way his partner did, only able to see the last smirk of the silver dragon's face before the door closed behind him...
