Don gestured the pirate, who was now a living solid gold statue of a wolf to come to him,."Come here", he said and the wolf obliged. Don then poked his nose. It felt warm, but hard as metal. Don was transfixed by the sight of his minion being made out of gold and apparently even excreting gold.
You ask Don again, "So, are you impressed?", and he simply replied, "Well you're still quite bulky, can't you turn into something smaller, more anthropomorphic." Without waiting for a reply he addressed the golden pirate, "Now come with me", and he followed him with his tail hanging rather low as to express worry.
As they both left you looked around rather puzzled. The genie thought a bit until she exclaims, "I think I have an idea". A cowboy hat materializes in her hand. It has a flexible thin strap on it, allowing it to be worn even during storms. She stepped in front of you and slid it over your nose-cone towards your cockpit. The engineer pirate inside you watched curiously as the hat, that is essentially just a bit bigger than what a human would wear. It looked tiny on you, as you could see through the CCTV cameras around you.
At first nothing happened, but after a few moments you felt a strong pressure against you. It seemed to come from all sides and somehow compress you. The shrinkage was rather uneven, while you shank down in total, your wings shrunk and gradually turned into arms, your landing gear however shifted getting longer and bending themselves. Gradually your form gets more and more humanoid with your upper body still supported by your front wheels, while your hind wheels have turned into legs. You put down your hands as your front wheel starts to move into your body and towards your legs. Your face, which previously just looked like it was painted on now formed, revealing a full mouth and actual eyes around his barely changing nose cone. As the changes commenced you took at look at yourself through the CCTV cameras in the room.
You are now a roughly humanoid figure wearing a cowboy hat. on a head that looks like the bent over front of a jet fighter. His back was rather smooth. The nozzle of your engine emerges just above your bum as a thick tail. As you get up you notice that your arms and chest appear rather musculous. A sort of flexible metal acts as your skin, sculpted to emulate every muscle. You're mostly painted grey, except for where his pants would be which is coloured in a sort of jeans blue. Your feet are sculpted to resemble cowboy boots and painted brown. Around your waist a belt and pant line are sculpted in the metal, though the belt-buckle looks a bit suspicious.
The genie explains, "That hat triggers the transformation. You put it on, you're an anthro plane, you take it off, you're a jet. Of course there's a bit of a delay to prevent... accidents".
Curiously you take off the hat, after a few moments you feel a strong pressure building up inside of you. Quickly you put it back on and the pressure disappears. Then you involuntarily step a few steps forward. The engineer still is inside of you. You open up your canopy, reach inside and pull him out. He has shrunken with you and you can easily hold him in your hand as he is only about 14cm or 5 inches tall. "So what are we going to do now?", you ask him.
