Deciding not to wake up the tiger you inspect the settings. Unfortunately they are labeled with glyphs you can't read. Reasoning that it turns counterclockwise you turn it to the right instead.
The rifle hums in preparation. Thinking smartly you take aim at the tiger instead and pulled the trigger pad.
Light bursts from the rifle wrapping around him in a halo of light. You see him shrinking.
Happy that you might have found the setting you want you take aim. However the tiger hadn't stopped shrinking. He continued to shrink down to the size of a golf ball before the light dissipated leaving a glowing orange tiger head crystal. Shocked you immediately turn the dial to the other side passing the middle setting and stopping at the last setting.
"That was probably a capture mode.." you said to yourself. "Pretty sure this is the setting to revert"
Shooting at the crystal the light wrapped around it but nothing happened.
"Probably doesn't work on captured beings." You theorized. Hesitant to touch the crystal you growled at your cowardice.
Not wanting to lose yourself instead you take aim at your friend and pulled the trigger. Light bursts and wrapped around his form. That was when it got downhill. Rather than reverting the transformation it sped up instead.
Golden fur materialized on the skin and grew longer as a red mane of hair puffed and replaced his hair. Pecs bulged into thick meat as his body began to grow rapidly. Abs took form as the fat melted away and his height grew to 8 feet way longer than the sofa. A tail bursts out of his pants and a lion's snout took form. Teeth became sharp as his mouth flopped open and everything turned rough. His clothing ripped from the rapid growth leaving him in his birthday suit for Briar to see. You could see his lion cock grow and develop small spines. He moaned in a rough growl that stimulated yours as you grew an erection.
Transformation complete the muscular 8 foot lion anthro fell asleep again. Despite his height being the same as you it didn't hold a candle to your power. You could see that you are wider.and heavier in mass. He was a little slimmer and sexier. You are attractive with your sculpted muscles already but he was more of the handsome side.
Growling at your erection and then the rifle you gave a hateful glare at Dawdson. Angrily stalking to the crystal you grab it only to be shocked with a strong electric feel. Looking at the crystal it was clear that the glow inside had dissapeared.
Dread filled you as your arms fur pattern developed orange and black stripes.
