-Ruins-

A shadow was hopping from tree to tree in the forest of Shadows, keeping hidden amongst them. A pair of red eyes were peeking from the darkness as it was in front of what looked to be ruins. The figure hopped from the tree and stepped out from the shadows, revealing a female lynx in a kunoichi outfit.

"This must be the place," she spoke in a dark yet femenine tone. She wore A folded over short-sleeve gi with weighted shoes and wrist bands, with a traditional bamboo hat. Part of her hair poked out from underneath the bamboo hat, but her face was covered by a mask. Her fingerless gloves allowed her to use her claws efficiently as she jumped onto the wall of the ruins to climb over them. She continued to work around the area until she entered the ruins. She stopped herself as she saw a puddle of rain water and reached up to her face to take off the veil that covered her mouth, revealing herself as Conquering Storm.

"Where has my life led that I'd become nothing but a mercenary?" she said to herself as she reflected on her past life. She used to be a cruel and heartless member of one of the greatest shinobi clans in all of Mobius. But one bad mistake led to another that led to her clan being nearly wiped out, and what few survivors that were left were wandering aimlessly, with no cause. She originally joined the Dark Legion to try and save what was left of her clan, but that didn't go so well and her clan was now forever lost. She didn't know what to do at that point and was just wandering around doing random jobs.

But it wasn't until recently where she heard about the seven Chaos Emeralds. Of course, everyone knew about those things, and she had never given them a second thought, even with all the legends she heard about them. But it was a particular legend about them that caught her interest. She recently learned that these Emeralds could grant whatever wish a person wanted, and you didn't need all seven of them either. You could achieve your wish with only one.

This one reason alone was exactly why the Bride was here, to find one of those emeralds and wish her clan back. Her clan would rise again and she would be their leader. Frankly, she liked her brief time as a leader when she led what was left of her clan before they too were wiped out. So she reckoned if she wished them back, they would see her as a goddess, and would follow wherever she went.

But first, she had to find one of the darn things. And as far as she was concerned, she had no luck. But she had high hopes for the ruins she was currently in. If those Emeralds were anywhere, they had to be here.

"There has to be something out here," she said to herself as she explored the ruins. "I know I felt a strange presence here." She continued to walk forward until she felt another presence behind her. She turned around to find some badniks roaming around the area. Motobugs, egg bombers and egg robots were roaming the area.

"So they're looking for the emerald as well," she added as she pulled out a kunai from her wrist. "I might as well take my anger out on them."

She didn't waste any time as she snuck to the shadows and waited for the robots roaming around to get to her location. When the robot gets close, a sounding slash uses it to freeze in place. Half of the robot started to fall apart as it fell to the floor and Storm the Lynx stepped from behind it. It ended up getting the other robots attention as they turned to her. They begin their attack, but she throws down a smoke bomb and she vanished from thier presence. The robots around the area continued to look for her, but the sounds of multiple slashes caught their attention. The sounds of static electricity soon filled the ruins as the robots were all destroyed and fell before the kunoichi as she dropped from a pillar of the ruins.

"Pathetic," she said in annoyance. "That old fool can't make any stronger robots than this?"

As the robots were destroyed, the little animals inside fell out of them, almost unharmed. But they all opened their eyes, confused that they were no longer surrounded by a metal shell and being used for someone else's control.

"So he's still up to his old tricks?" she said in annoyance.

The woodland creatures were all confused until they laid eyes on Conquering Storm, and crowded around her happily. Conquering Storm simply felt nothing as she stared at them coldly. They all stopped cheering as they were confused by what she was doing. She simply readied her knife and the sounds of multiple slashes would be heard. It wasn't long before she was standing among several dead animals and flicked off a drop of blood from her face as she walked away.

"Just useless," she said in annoyance as she proceeded further into the ruins.

Storm walked through the ruins, trying to sense the energy signature she felt, but was struggling due to the ruins being so big. Eventually she came across something interesting, it looked like a temple. It had several tribal markings on it, from which she didn't recognize and there were green patches all around it, which she assumed was a tree growing around it. Clearly this place had been here for a long time. As she got close to it, she saw that there was a stone door that she couldn't get through.

"Hm, if I know these places, there should be a switch around here to open this thing," said the lynx as she walked right up to the entrance.

She placed her hands on the stone door and began to feel it up, pushing her hands against it, trying to see if there was some sort of area on the door. Eventually, she placed her hand on a marking that was shaped like a square and pushed down on it. It moved forward and a loud rumbling sound started. Storm backed away and saw the door slowly move, showing the entrance to a deep dark stone corridor. She couldn't see much, but she could feel the energy she sensed become stronger as the door opened.

"It has to be in there," she said, walking inside. "Come on. Please be what I think it is in there. If it is, I'll be one step closer to reviving my clan. And we shall rise to greatness once again."

Several ruin markings were spread throughout the structure, she could only wonder about the structure and how long it has been here. She continued to walk forward to understand what was here, but soon stopped when she came across a strange drawing. They looked to be wolf-like creatures, but most of them looked to be female with one male. There looked to be a total of eight with one male. And they looked to be worshiping the beast that was here.

"What does this mean?" she asked herself. "Was there a hidden power here to grant a more powerful form, or are they worshipping the beast here?" she then takes a step back, and her leg feels like it caught on something. Then she heard the sound of the floor giving out beneath her. Acting on instinct, Storm quickly jumped out of the way just as the floor gave out. Unfortunately the area she landed on gave away too. But she was able to grab onto the ledge as she fell. She looked below her and saw a pit full of spikes surrounded by the rubble that used to be the floor.

"Great, this place is filled with traps too?" she said as she pulled herself up. "Well, I guess I should keep my eyes open for anymore. No matter though. They are all fruitless attempts to get rid of the Bride of the Conquering Storm."

After escaping the trap that was there, she entered another room. Debris and caverns were inside as she kept her eyes out for the traps that were in the building. Storm then looked at what looked to be a tribe of the days of old. It looked like some local tribe members were holding a strange gem as well as being chased by the wolves that she had seen before.

"What are they holding and why are they running away from these beasts?" she added. She took a step back and then she heard a click from behind her. She heard hatches open up and the sounds of something whizzing past her ear caused her to jump into the air. Several darts began to fly where she was originally and she stuck herself to the ceiling to wait out the assault. After awhile, the darts stop flying and she drops down while keeping her guard up. She then goes to where the darts landed and tries to understand what was there.

"Either I'm getting close, or there's something here that doesn't want to be found," she said to herself as she looked at the darts to find a lethal poison at the tip of each dart. She continued onward, unaware of a black shadow slowly following her. She continued on her own, trying to understand what was so special about this place. As she walked forward, she found a large room that seemed to be a shrine of some sorts.

"There seems to be more to this temple than I realized," she said to herself. She then walked forward and found more runes that were telling her of the lore behind this temple.

"More ruins," she said to herself as she saw what looked to be a large creature with claws. There was also another creature that appeared to be fighting him. It was small compared to the much larger one and it didn't make sense.

"This tiny little thing is meant to fight whatever this was?" she said in confusion. "This seems more like a fairy tail. The strong eat the weak, it's pointless to fight it."

There was another rune that was here, but it was something that she was looking for. One of them was holding a dark gem and it showed what looked to be where it was being held. The gem looked to be protected by strange light pillars in the next room.

"This is the answer to my prayers," she said to herself as she walked forward. Once again, she picked up an off sounding noise as she heard the floor crumbling again. She realized she had stepped on another switch. She looked behind her and saw that the floor was caving in, making it impossible for her to escape the temple, and the floor ahead of her collapsed too, leaving Storm with only one option, to fall.

The floor finally gave away beneath her abs she fell down, but she didn't scream. She would stay strong until the moment she died. As she disappeared into the hole, parts of the walls opened up, and walls of stone emerged from them, rebuilding the floor and leaving no indication that it gave away at all, as well as trapping Storm.

Storm managed to land on her feet to stop herself from injuring herself badly. The room she was in now was filled with an orange glow, and she suddenly felt really hot as if she stepped into a volcano. In fact, she might as well have as she was now face to face with a lava pit.

"Amateurs," she said in annoyance as she looked around the area that she was in. By the lava room, the temple must've been built on top of a volcano. She looked above her to see Stalactites above her where the floor used to be. She smirks as she sees her way out. With the kunai in her hand, she had a rope on hand as well, tied the Kunai to one end of the rope. With quick precision, she aimed it at the Stalactite and she saw that it hit its mark. Now she jumps as high as she can and uses it to climb up and swing from one area to the next. She swung from at least three Stalactites before she finally managed to get topside form the Lava room.

"Nothing will stand in my way of restoring my clan," she said to herself as she continued onward. "Nothing…"

She was close, she could feel it. It wasn't long until she felt the presence that she felt before. This time it was stronger than ever, signalling that she was getting ever so closer. The lynx entered one final room. This one was big, and nearly empty, except for one large staircase that led upwards towards a small shrine. That shrine was in between two bright pillars that lit the whole room. And laid upon that shrine laid what she was looking for, or what she thought she was looking for.

As she walked up the stone steps to get a closer look, she found it to be a pure black emerald, with pure dark purple energy radiating from it. Storm wondered if this was actually one of the Chaos Emeralds, as it did look a little dark for it to be something used for good. She decided that it was none of her concern and went to pick it up, only to stop as she noticed something behind it on the wall.

It was another rune. Except this time, it was of the black emerald itself, laid on the shrine between two light pillars. But what caught her attention was the large wolfen beast standing behind the emerald. Would she have to fight a wolf-like creature in order to win this emerald?

Storm's eyes quickly darted towards every possible area of the room, searching for the beast written on the rune. She dropped to a fighting stance and readied her kunai in case it suddenly jumped her. But nothing happened, nothing came to attack her nor guard the emerald. She turned back to the rune.

"This must be from a long time ago," said Storm "Perhaps whatever beast guarded this emerald is long dead. Well… makes my task easier at least."

Storm reached for the emerald again, but once again, halted her movements as she saw something odd about the emerald. A piece of it was missing.

"This doesn't make any sense," she said in confusion. "Why is there a piece missing?" She didn't understand any of it, but doubts started to form in her mind thinking that she came here for nothing. "This must've been a plow, but for what?" She added in annoyance as she turned around. But by doing so, she was now face to face with a black smog that was there. Immediately she jumped backwards, pulling out her kunai in the process.

"Who are you?" she growled as she took a battle stance, holding onto the gem in her hands. The strane creature didn't respond, but it opened its eyes as it glared at her. It suddenly rushed at her and she readied her kunai to strike. Soon as it was within inches of her, she swung at the creature, only for her to phase right through it. When she felt nothing, not even her blade going through it, she was confused.

"Was that an illusion?" she said in confusion, until another sound got her attention. The sounds of an electric shock caused her to turn around and she could see the massive gas creature trying to break into the light pillar. She thought that the creature was after her prize so she immediately got angry. She tries to strike the creature again, but she keeps phasing through it. The Creature wasn't even paying her attention.

"How dare you!" she growled as she tried again, but it once again phased through the creature.

She was about to strike again when she noticed something odd happening with the emerald. It was starting to glow upon the creature getting close to it. Then a thought struck her; Was this creature part of the emerald? The emerald was certainly reacting to it, and a piece of it was missing. Was this the missing piece?

Storm eyes the two pillars that were to either side of the shrine. An idea struck her mind. She quickly took her kunai and dashed towards one of the pillars. With three fast and strong slashes, she was able to make it topple over. She then went after the second pillar, knocking it down too. Once they were both gone, the electric sounds stopped and were replaced with the sounds of loud vibrating as Storm watched the creature merge with the emerald.

A dark glow filled the room as the sounds suddenly stopped. When Storm looked at where the creature was, it was gone, and the emerald now looked complete. She was correct, the creature was part of the emerald. And now, that emerald was her's. She could wish her entire tribe back.

"The answer to all of my prayers," she said to herself as she walked over towards the emerald and reached out to it. "I will now have the power to restore my tribe to their former glory with me as their leader. With this power, the Raiju Clan shall rise and be the strongest of all." She follows up as she touches the emerald. As she touched it, a surge of energy shot through her as she held it. She screamed out as she was in constant pain, feeling like her body was being torn apart as the gem began merging with her. For any normal person this would've killed them but she had a strong iron will as she merged with the gemstone.

It soon cuts to her shadow where her figure begins to change. Her entire body started to grow. It grew to a height that was almost twice as tall as her original height, that wasn't the only thing that grew either. Her hips and upper waist began to grow too, they grew several times larger than their original size and her fur began to get longer and more wild. She grew so much, she began to rip through her clothes as their tattered remains fell around her. Her hat fell off her head as her hair grew longer as well. Eventually, she stopped growing and changing, and the shadow reared its head back, showed a wide sinister looking smile as she saw how strong she was and let out a long howl.

-Outside-

"You sure this is the right place we have to check out?" Amy added that she and Tailsko were outside in the forest at the moment. They had been travelling for quite a bit of time now. The sun had long since set, both of them knowing their lover had transformed into his beast form. Their bellies had flattened out after he gave them a serving of his seed and they felt much warmer as they could now fit their bellies under their jumper's. The jumper's and warm pants they wore were still stretched across their bodies as they were too small for them, but they didn't have anything larger.

"Positively, the radar says this should be the right place," said Tailsko. "We might just have to dig a bit deeper into the forest to find where the energy readings had come from."

"I just hope that we don't have to walk very far," Amy added. "I'm just getting wet thinking about what Sonic will do to us in his beast form."

"Hey, the quicker we get this done, the faster we can get home," Tailsko added. "I'm excited for a roleplay for when the 'beast' goes out to hunt."

"That makes two of us," Amy added with a smile on her face.

"So come on already," she added as she and Amy continued on with the scanner that they had.

Meanwhile in another part of the forest, two figures would be walking through their part of the forest as they push past some large bushes. After awhile, it wasn't long until both figures stepped into a clearing where their faces were revealed. It was the princess of the Acorn Kingdom Princess Sally, and the PRincess Of the Sol Dimension Blaze the Cat.

"I think we can stop here for now," Sally said as she and Blaze stopped at the clearing.

"So we're taking a break now?" Blaze added.

"I'm trying to understand where we are Blaze," Sally added as she took out her small computer and flipped it open. "Nicole, do you know anything about this place?"

As she said that name, a transparent image of a lynx appeared on her green screen and she only showed her upper body rather than her lower body which was pixelated.

"This is known as the dark forest, Princess Sally," she began as she pulled up another image on the computer. "NOt much is known about his place, but there was a legend of a tribe that lived out here and had a temple of a dark cult that resided inside."

"I see," Sally added with a sigh. "Is there anything else?"

"There is Sally, my sensors are picking up other life forms within the forest, but I don't know who they are. Please be cautious Princess Sally," she added with a bow.

"Thank you Nicole," Sally added as Nicole powered down. Sally put up her computer and then turned to Blaze. "Thank you again for accompanying me with this Blaze," Sally said as she smiled at her.

"It's no problem Sally," Blaze said as she sat with Sally. "I didn't think I would find you out here after I was brought here by the Sol Emeralds."

"It's alright," Sally added. "I simply came here because Nicole sensed a mysterious energy signature that led me out here, and then you teleported in front of me saying that you were tracking down a strange energy source that was unearth. Maybe we can…"

As Sally was speaking, Blaze wasn't really listening as she was staring at Sally, mainly her rather large chest. She was dressed in what looked to be a flimsy sleeveless jacket, and boots, but her curves were what stood out to Blaze the most. She could easily put any woman to shame with her impressive II-cup breasts, toned stomach, and well rounded rear. Her bright but short red hair was always so silky smooth and her fur which was a mix of brown and beige was well taken care of. Any guy would be lucky to have her.

As for Blaze, she looked down at herself and was pretty self conscious. She paled in comparison to most of the girls in this dimension, barely coming up to a B-cup despite her age. Blaze's outfit was also not as revealing as Sally's. She wore a white shirt, which was hidden beneath her royal robes which were a nice violet colour, a pair of skin tight white pants, a pair of pink high heel shoes and had her hair tied up with a red scrunchie. Blaze knew that she wasn't as developed as other girls in this dimension. The only one she knew that was as small as she was, was Tailsko… or so she thought. She continued to give Sally's body an envious stare, not noticing that the Acorn Princess had noticed her stare.

"Blaze, are you okay?" Sally asked, getting the lavender cats attention.

"Huh, what?"

"I asked if you were alright," she asked.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine, just distracted that's all," Blaze added.

"Distracted by what exactly?" she added, leaning closer to Blaze. "My chest?"

Blaze immediately flinched as her cheeks turned pink.

"Any reason why you were staring at me like that Blaze?" Sally added as she suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Blaze by her head and burying her face in her chest. "Did you want to take a closer look?"

Blaze started to let out muffled screams as she started to flail around in Sally's grip as she was struggling to break free.

"Come on Blaze, be honest now," she said as she continued to tease her. "Are you jealous of me?"

Blaze does manage to pull herself out of Sally's grip and glare at her while blushing. "I'm not Jealous! Mmph!" She was cut off again as Sally buried her face in her chest again. Sally's grin grew weder as she watched Blaze flailing around like a confused child.

"Be honest Blaze, it's okay to be jealous," she added as she continued to tease Blaze for awhile longer. "Maybe one day you'll be able to grow as big as me."

Blaze eventually had enough and managed to break free from Sally's grasp again and pushed Sally off of her.

"Will you please stop that, it's embarrassing," she yelled as she hugged herself and pressed her back against the tree near her. Sally was still giggling to herself as she sat up.

"Relax Blaze, I was only teasing you," she said, but her hand was slapped away by Blaze.

"Well stop it," she added. "Can we just go and find this energy signature so we can be done with this?"

Sally sighed to herself as she stated still. "Really Blaze, what's wrong?"

"You mean other than you shoving my face in your chest, bragging about how big you are?" Blaze said in annoyance. "Do you always flaunt your 'assets' whenever we hang out?"

"Woah, woah, calm down" said Sally "I had no idea it upset you that much…do you want to tell me what's really wrong?"

Blaze was about to snap at her again, but sighed and let herself sit back down again so she could vent to Sally.

"It's just… since you're a princess like myself, whenever I see you, I feel like I am the inferior one" said Blaze "And seeing the other girls being near, the same size, or even bigger than you. I feel like I'm not worthy of having the title as a princess, and feel like they deserve it. Even Marine back home has outgrown me now, and she's much younger than I am."

Sally had no idea that Blaze was this self-conscious about how big she was compared to other girls. She walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with how big you are Blaze," said Sally "And your size isn't what makes you a princess. What really makes you a princess is how seriously you take your role, not about your size."

"... really?" asked Blaze, feeling a little less upset about her size compared to Sally.

"I really do. And I do mean what I said earlier," said Sally "I think you'll eventually grow. You're probably just a late bloomer when it comes to growing."

"Maybe you're right," said Blaze, standing up "I should stop being so silly and comparing myself to the other girls. I apologize for my behaviour."

"It's okay Blaze," said a smiling Sally "Now let's go find where those energy readings are coming from."

"Lead the way Sally," she added. Both girls stood up and continued to walk forward towards the energy signature. As they were walking, Blaze was staring at Sally's rear, watching as each soft butt cheek bounced with each step she took. Sally could tell that she was staring and decided to not call her out for it, but flaunt a little giving the feline vixen a good show. Sally walks with a sway in her step to entice Blaze as she walks with her, wanting to see her reaction. Blaze stared for a bit, but then she realized what Sally was doing, she stopped and her face was now cherry red.

"Will you please stop doing that!?" she yelled as Sally giggled.

In another part of the forest, a figure was flying overhead towards the forest, perching on a tree branch as it was looking around the area. It's teal eyes scanned the area as it looked for a place to land. It's eyes eventually spotted what looked to be a large pond on the horizon. The clear water glistened in the moonlight. The figure lunged at the pool and touched down in front of it, revealing a very femenine bat in the moonlight.

"So this is where I can feel the gem's energy," she said to herself as she saw her reflection in the pool. The everknown jewel thief Rouge the bat made her appearance as she was checking herself out in the reflection of the pool. She wore her usual skin tight black latex suit that tightly clung to her incredibly curvy body, a pair of white high heels with pink hearts on the toes. And upon her chest a pink breastplate was attached to her, showing off a good amount of cleavage from her massive JJ-size breasts. She also had a big, nicely shaped ass and some curves any man would die to touch. She smirked to herself as she admired her sexy form, running her hands over her body, thinking that she would never be outdone by anyone.

"Even now I've still got it," she said with a smile on her face. "But now It's time for me to find my prize to add to my collection." She then spreads her wings and takes off again towards the emerald's energy.

Lastly in another part of the forest were two more femenine figures that were walking through the forest to see what was going on. Both of them walked into a clearing to see what was outside.

The first female was an echidna that had a dark shade of orange fur, her quills were combed back and she wore a dark headband with a symbol on it. She was dressed in a black skin-tight bodysuit, outfitted with black gloves and boots. She had some well filled out curves, a nicely sized butt and a pair of HH-size breasts. Even with her curves, she did sport a bit of muscle and has a night set of abs to go for as well since she kept her body well toned.

The second female was also an echidna, but her fur was a brighter shade of orange, and her attire was much more tribal than the first echidna. She wore a yellow headband with a blue gem in the middle of it around her head, a white shirt that left her belly exposed, and a skirt with a green, red and white coloured pattern on it, as well as a pair of sandals on her feet. Her shirt strained against her II-sized breasts, to the point where her nipples were actually visible through it, and she had one heck of a nice ass.

"Tikal, are you sure that you felt a dark presence out here?" said the first echidna.

"Yes I'm sure Shade," said the second echidna, known as Tikal.

"If that's the case, how will we know where this energy is coming from?" asked Shade "This place is so big, it could take us all night to find it?"

"No it won't," Tikal said, smiling reassuringly "I can sense where it's coming from, just give me a minute."

Shade watched as Tikal sat down on the ground and crossed her legs. She closed her eyes and placed her hands on her knees and focused. Shade was assuming she was meditating, right before Tikal opened her eyes again and stood up, pointing in a direction that led even deeper into the forest.

"It's coming from that direction," said Tikal. "If we keep going that way, we should be able to find it in no time."

"Wouldn't you need Knuckles to help as well if it's so Important?"

"I would, but he's busy tending to his wife Julie-Su as well as the Master Emerald," he added. "She's currently in her final month of pregnancy and Knuckles said that he doesn't want to abandon his wife."

"I see," she said with a sigh. "Anyways, I'm to act as your guard since you're not really a combatant?"

"Yes," she added. "I'm more of a pacifist for the matter, but I hope to solve this peacefully."

"I understand," Shade added. "But should anything happen, I may have to use force."

"I understand," Tikal followed up. "We should hurry. The longer we wait, the more this power grows."

"Right," Shade agreed and both girls left to go towards the energy source.
