Chapter 2: More Pranks and a Foreshadowed Sequence
Anise's POV
It was late at night (i couldn't tell, being in outer space can do that) when i decided to cloak up. I opted for the invisibility one and not Starshroud, for what i was planning to do being invisible was the better option.
First i crept into Kazuya's room, finding him asleep in his bed. His sneakers sat next to the bed, i simply walked over top of them to get his size. The only reason i needed his size was 'cause i understood his reason not to get too emotionally attached to someone in fear of picking someone linked in a Soul Bond to another guy, but when that reason experienced its primary deployment i wouldn't put it past Melba to force him to crossdress.
Then again, i was banking on it, 'cause if i were to get to a shoe store at some point i so planned to buy him a few pairs of black stiletto pumps. To me, it doesn't matter what one's gender is, everyone should be able to wear high heels easily no matter the height stat combination. That's why i have so many extreme pairs.
Speaking of extreme heels, i then snuck into Kahlua's room. Like Kazuya, the blonde's white thigh-high boots lay near her bed. Even better, they were on their side already, all i needed to do to alter them was use one of my XR-type spells. The spell hit directly on the left boot's two inch stiletto heel, at which i mentally boosted the heel up to seven inches without adding a platform. Followed it up with two ZR-type spells, one to make the changes permanent and the other to limit her solely to them.
My work done, i returned to my room, de-cloaked, and fell asleep on my bed.
A feminine scream erupted early the next morning. This, i assumed, was Kahlua finding out her boots had been fetishly altered. Wanting to keep her from suspecting me, i decided to go with one of my sluttier microskirts, a revealing tube top, and a platform version of her boots' new form.
"Kahlua, what is it?" Rico asked; she was the only one who got there before me despite my wearing such fetish boots.
"Someone invisible snuck in and altered my boots by increasing the heel a few inches. On top of that, they're the only shoes i have available right now."
"Either it's a prank, or someone really likes very high heels." Rico said. The others then started staring at me.
It was at this moment that i knew i fucked up, for i had revealed yesterday i had a device capable of turning me invisible.
"Kinda both, actually, and to me gender doesn't matter. I'm hoping we end up going somewhere to do some shopping soon, i'm banking on Kazuya being forced to crossdress by Melba and the shopping trip should include a stop at a store where i can get him some black pumps." i said. "I even know his size, i used my cloaking unit to sneak into his room and get it."
"You didn't do anything to him?" Kahlua asked, clearly confused.
"Nope, getting his shoe size was the only reason i went in there for. And Kahlua, don't try using magic to undo the locks keeping Steline's pair on, they're immune to magic and designed to be impossible to remove."
"I was just about to ask about them." Nano piped up. "Where'd you get the plug gag, though?"
"Thought it was the best one to use for that purpose, solely using a strip of duct tape hurts on removal, a ring gag offers no defensive capabilities from a random fly, and i've seen too many scenes of ball gag usage that i thought it was cliche."
"B-b-b-but you're o-o-only f-fifteen!" Rico stuttered.
"Hey, i've been living alone for the past few years!" i exclaimed, arms raised defensively. "I had to grow up faster than i would've liked, you can blame that for how i know that stuff!"
"Where's your parents?" Kahlua asked.
"D-dead. I was only an infant when they were killed in a mine collapse." i said, my tone sad as my eyes started welling up.
"Really Kahlua, you had to ask her THAT question?!" Rico exclaimed.
"I-i-i didn't know." the blonde defended.
"Anise, if it makes you feel any better it's a good thing you pulled what you did on her last night." Rico said.
"Thanks, Rico."
"REALLY?! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT?!"
"INCOMING!" someone yelled. All of a sudden the Luxiole shook when something hit.
Thankfully i was seated when it happened partly as i was still wearing the fetish platform thigh boots from earlier. On top of that, i proceeded to execute a perfect high-heeled combat roll since the shaking knocked me out of my seat.
"Nano, round up anyone injured and take them to the infirmary, i'll be there shortly."
"Why? I can heal them easily myself."
"I'm anticipating a larger amount of injuries than you can easily handle, but i happen to know a technique that can handle all of them all at once."
"Seriously, Boss, you ALWAYS seem to have SOMETHING up your sleeve that we never expect you to even know."
"Irony here is that without the jacket none of my tops even have sleeves to begin with."
"As if the jacket even has sleeves itself. Heck, any shorter and that would actually be a vest." Rico pointed out.
"Which is why i use my choker and the raised collar to wear it as a makeshift cape. Easier to identify if something's strapless like blondie's dress or one of my many tube tops when worn that way. At least from the front, anyway. Then again, the only reason to identify blondie's dress as being strapless is when her bustier purple-haired persona is active, as the larger bust size causes her jacket to open."
"As if your bust even allows you to close your jacket, it's so damn big." Kahlua (who fortunately happened to be sitting when the ship was hit, partly due to the new fetishized form of her boots) spoke up from my left.
"I know, blondie, you don't have to point that out every five seconds!"
"Why? It's just so obvious with how massive your bust is."
"One more comment like that and i'll make it hard for you to walk even if your boots were still in their original form. Remember what i said earlier about having to grow up faster than i would have wanted blondie."
"A-a-are you s-serious?!" Kahlua stuttered.
"Consider yourself lucky you haven't had a reason to be in my room yet."
"Geez, Anise, what the heck are you hiding in there?"
"Hiding? There MAY be a prank for someone, but it's nowhere near done."
"Or maybe the intended target isn't here right now?"
"There's no way i'll prank Natsume, i've known her for years."
"While i have no idea who you're referring to, that's not who i was talking about."
"Oh, you referring to the half-blood knight Lily?"
"Half-blood?"
"You never noticed how her hair covers her left eye? That concealed eye is her red one; the fact her right eye, the normally visible one, is blue is what makes her half-blood. It's her maternal side that she inherited the red eye from."
"Where do you get your information?!" Kahlua asked in shock.
"I have my sources." i responded, nonchalant as i crossed my arms in a way that further emphasized my already gargantuan bust. Turning on my extremely elevated heel, i then walked into the nearest elevator to get to the infirmary, needle-thin stilettos loudly clicking on the metal loor.
As i walked, a cyan gem materialized in my left hand, ready for use. Mentally counting the number of people who were injured when the Luxiole was hit, i knew deciding to use this technique instead of letting Nano use her abilities was the smart choice, Nano didn't have enough energy in her body to handle all of this.
My gemstone did, however, well more than enough to heal everyone in one burst and still have enough energy left over for my follow-up move a few hours later.
"Chaos... REGENERATION!" i yelled as a surge of green energy released from the Chaos Emerald i was holding; the green color of the energy was mainly to indicate its healing aspect since most video games to use a health system show the HP bar in green.
True to the norm, as small amounts of the energy entered each injured crew member i saw their injuries disappear.
"Holy crap, Boss, where do you get your techniques?" Nano asked.
"Like i told Kahlua earlier, i have my sources. That's kinda how i know the right transmission frequency to make the transmission i did regarding Dieta's bounty."
"Oh."
That night i snuck into the hangar and shot off in my Emblem Frame towards what most would think was a random location.
If it wasn't for one of my stronger weapons obliterating the Crust Breakers as they passed they would be right. Landing in the hangar of my secret fortress i then decided to have one of my super AIs contact Forte. Thankfully i had chosen to wear my Starshroud top, make the redhead believe her bust was larger than mine. Believe me, i did NOT want her to know i had gotten THAT effect at such a young age.
"You better have a good reason to wake me up at three in the morning." Forte said as she appeared on a transmission. For some reason alarms were going off on her end.
"REALLY, JACQUES?!" i yelled.
"WHAAAAAT?!" a male voice asked in response as another of my many super AIs materialized next to me. "It's three in the morning! What other way did i have to wake her up?!"
"Maybe something more subtle next time? They're bound to ramp up their cybersecurity after that stunt. At least the Crust Breakers are gone, i made sure to that. Verel's sure gonna be pissed at that one."
"You woke me up at three in the morning to tell me you did THAT?! How did you sneak off the Luxiole to do THAT?!"
"Invisibility cloaking unit. Also, unlike you, i'm not normally wearing high heels, which helps my stealth." Since i was in my Starshroud top and this was the bridge of my secret fortress she knew nothing about the REAL me.
And i planned to keep it that way.
"If you truly HAVE destroyed the Crust Breakers, you might wanna get back to the Luxiole, Lily's headed that way now."
"Thanks Forte. Upside is i have one of my many super AIs assimilated with this fortress of mine, any enemy who tries attacking this stands no chance in quack against Lewis." i said as a silvery male figure with noticeably darker skin than the others materialized next to me.
As soon as he had done so Jenson, the super AI acting as the decoy for my plan against Dieta, materialized next to him, notably in an identical outfit this time, reminding me that after winning the '09 Drivers Championship the driver he was based on became Lewis' teammate at McLaren while Brawn GP, Jenson's '09 team, became a works Mercedes team in their return to F1 as a team since their withdrawal from the sport following Le Mans in 1955.
"I can see your bits, mate." Jenson said to Lewis, somewhat randomly.
"It's pronounced 'bytes'." Lewis said, at which point i remembered that one buddy of mine was in a world whose timeline was a few years into the future compared to here; her world was, last time i checked with her, in the year 2018, the sequence reminding me that Lewis' departure to Mercedes for '13 had been worked into McLaren's 'Tooned' series of short episodes. In fact, the two-line sequence between Lewis and Jenson was from the episode it had been worked into, courtesy of a Lewis-triggered glitch; Jenson managed to get out okay when M and a faceless Bond Villain-esque Ron Dennis shut the simulator down, but in Lewis' place was his Mexican replacement Sergio Perez.
If i gained the ability to create customized duplicates, i was so gonna give one an inability to avoid getting into scenarios where she'd end up having a Professor M moment. Add a preference for that related Britney Spears song and there's no way she could possibly counter it.
It took Mercedes five years to win a championship after their year as Brawn, with Lewis winning the Drivers' title in the final round over teammate Nico Rosberg, a changed engine formula being why Mercedes suddenly became so dominant over Red Bull Racing, who swept both titles the previous four years with Sebastian Vettel the Drivers' Champion all four times. The following year McLaren, rejoined by Alonso, switched to Honda power and Lewis took the title again, but not as close as the previous year. Seb would win again under the new formula, but by the time he did he had already moved to Ferrari; the three races Mercedes didn't win in '14 went to Daniel Ricciardo, who replaced retired compatriot Mark Webber as Vettel's Red Bull teammate.
In 2016 he lost by 5 to Nico despite heading four straight Mercedes 1-2s the final four rounds, including deliberately slowing himself down hoping pursuing rivals could jump Nico before the checkered flag. Notable incidents that year were both Mercedes drivers crashing on lap one in a race teenager Max Verstappen, in his first race for Red Bull following a swap with Russian Daniil Kvyat after four races, won, and a major engine failure in Malaysia (also won by Red Bull, but Ricciardo this time) for Lewis.
It was at that moment that i sensed Chrono Strings in use; investigating i saw that it was Lily's Eagle Gazer Emblem Frame, and since i believed she was headed for the Luxiole i followed her, my fortress cloaked so she wouldn't sense it.
Well, at least until Jacques fired one of my more powerful weapons at the pursuers. They stood no chance in heck, but i suddenly got a transmission.
When i opened it a cute 18-year-old blunette with her left eye concealed by her hair was on the other end.
"DAMNIT JACQUES!" i yelled when i saw the frustrated expression on her face.
"Who?!"
"One of my many Super AIs. Second time he's done something like that, earlier he set off the alarms in whatever ship Forte was in. No Crust Breakers to worry about, i already dealt with them; that's why i contacted Forte in the first place."
"I take it she was the one who sent you to help make sure i wasn't followed by the enemy."
"Yeah she was. Does she know of your red eye?"
The way her face flushed scarlet i knew i had her where i wanted her.
"How about your actual bust size?" she fired back. "I can clearly tell your top is enchanted to hide it."
My jaw dropped. Lily had seen right through Starshroud. Especially after all the work i put into making the guise.
"Whatever you do, don't go into my room yet." i said.
Lily didn't ask why, but she did go straight into Chrono Drive; reactivating my fortress' cloak, i followed her. Much like i had told Forte, it was a good thing i decided not to wear high heels, for it allowed me to get back to my room without the others knowing.
If it wasn't for the splashing noise followed by a yell from Lily, that is.
'Well, she triggered the defense system i set up. Good thing i left the real reason i didn't want her to go in yet somewhere she couldn't see. I'm a lot smarter than they think i am, and they thought i was quite intelligent to start with. Better check on her to make sure she doesn't really cause chaos, as at this time it won't be good for morale.' i thought.
It was when i got there that i remembered my defense system was set to identify who was trying to enter and adjust its response accordingly, for not only was Lily's dark blue hair wet, but it had gone from shoulder-length all the way to mid-calf. And her bangs were completely unaffected, thankfully, for i had engineered the serum responsible for the massive length increase to leave the bangs the way they were. I know, for i had tested it on my own hair previously, hence how long it was.
"Anise, what exactly was in that water i just got splashed with?" she asked once she turned around.
"Oh, just a little something i created to increase the length of one's hair. Personally made sure the bangs aren't affected by it, considering you use yours and a contact lens to hide your red eye."
"Do the others know?" a panicking Lily asked me.
"Only Kahlua, who was also curious about something in my room. And i know the increase in your hair's length doesn't affect the bangs, i tested it on my own hair."
"Explains why it's so long for someone your age. Much like the Breast Enhancement Accelerator caused this." Lily said as she proceeded to grab the two specific buttons that operated the Starshroud guise.
"Lily, wait, don't -" i started to say.
Too late, though, for when the piece of my Starshroud top keeping my true bust size concealed fell my bust supersized to its true size in a matter of seconds.
"When did your bust start developing?" Lily asked.
"Less than two years ago." i answered, a shy tone to my voice.
"You must've gotten a particularly strong variant, then, if you had the normal one your bust would still be about maybe in the vicinity of 67 to 75 percent of Forte's, not more than two and a half times that. The Breast Enhancement Accelerator can be shut down, but with your variant i'll guess you have about a year to stop it before it reaches the point where you have to completely expose your bust permanently."
I was in shock. Sure, i knew i could stop the effect behind my massive bust by getting a strong enough power boost, but with only about a year to do so?! Part of me wanted to spend the rest of my life topless, but part of me wanted to stop the effect.
Little did i know i would accidentally begin the process of stopping it, but much closer than Lily thought.
Nor did i anticipate the sheer power of the transformation that did the job would only lead to a discovery that would change my life forever.
