There was nothing more dangerous than a wounded and cornered animal. A creature with
nothing left to lose was very very dangerous indeed. Golgatha and Gomorrah had
promised that victory would taste so bitter than those who rejected chaos' paradise that
that they will have wished for defeat instead. And they would do everything within the
infinite possibilities of chaos to do precisely that. Any who set foot on this island would be
handed a Pyrrhic victory so utter and complete, they would use the curse to bring thee
chaos down on themselves, freeing them from every restraint and regret.
Gaal, whose name meant abomination was gone however. Their left Gogatha and
Gomorrah broken. The black cat Herodias though of the loss of the familiar Lilith, and the
loss of Gomorrah's familiar the crow Salome before their deaths... She was the only of the
familiar three left.
"No matter the price sister," Gomorrah's twisted shadow that was part of the curse spoke
in the Curse World thinking of her biological elder sister Gaal. "I promise we'll make our
dream a reality... we'll make the prudes pay. And we'll liberate all we'll come across now
and bring them into chaos' paradise!"
"Our enemies are closing on us fast, and we've been robbed of Glass and some of the
chimeras... " Golgatha said.
"Mistress." The twisted shadow of the black cat Herodias said, "Our options dwindle even
as our enemies close in... Glass didn't even think to use her infinite turns!!! We have gone
from being closer than ever from liberating others... to being almost annihilated... "
"Do you desire to see Gaal avenged Gomorrah?" Golgatha's shadow asked holding on the
arms of the the witch's echo in the curse world.
"More than anything."
"Then we must become more." Herodias' shade said knowing where this was going.
"IF FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED!" Gogatha began and Gomorrah finished.
"CHEAT-CHEAT-CHEAT until you do! Rules are for sheep!"
"Transform or Dare mistresses!" Said Herdodias.
"Transform!"
"Transform your spiritual essences so no Dare or Transform worded by or aided in the
creation of by Alice effects us or whoever and whatever we may become!!"
Such an utter and complete violation of the rules that had held the game together of
course caused them to sink deeper into the infinite chaos, driving them MORE insane.
"If we are to succeed at all, we must become stronger than Gaal ever was..." Golgatha said.
"That is impossible." Gomorrah said.
"NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE INFINITY OF CHAOS!"
"YES MISTRESS!" Said Herdodias!
"We must BECOME the chaos! We must BE the chaos... divided we are broken..." Gomorrah
said.
"Only whole we were truly unbeatable..."
"Then united we must be! In a way as never become!"
In the curse world, with knives willed out of the chaos, Gomorrah and Golgatha stabbed
themselves in the wombs, cutting them open, and out slipped twisting churning chaos in
it's absolute form, and it dove into the shadow of Herdodias' mouth, and them covered the
black cat familiar shadow completely.
The chaos congealed, only one thought and identity and purpose remaining, turn all to
chaos, have all who reject chaos BREAK.
The mass of chaos shaped like Herdodias grew, expanded, twisted, warped, and grew
some more, becoming something truly awe inspiring as the chaos was tempered and
directed as selves of the witches and familiars melted and twisted back upon themselves.
In the curse world, what stood up was a naked, black twelve foot tall cat woman, with
breasts only somewhat smaller than Amethyst's. Her eyes glowed green, she looked down
at herself as she flex her very impressive muscles. One moment she was baled, another
she had long black hair, another she was a blond in braids in no logical pattern.
And the curse world grew twisted and warped.
Herdodias, Gomorrah, Golgatha, Eris herself, Lady Discordia, or the much more simple and
direct name "Kurse" what did it matter? Her mind was a picture of perfect, flawless utter
and complete insanity.
The flower symbol that was on the backs of the gem wolf pack, now lay like a fur birth
mark over one eye. The shape of her eyes and the shade of her coloring reminiscent of an
anime character almost.
The newborn demigod smiled at she felt herself, her tail swishing behind her.
"Ooooh yesss." She moaned as she felt her own breasts and explored the space between
her legs. "Gaal, the world of chaos will be reality... and you will be avenged... "
In three steps she was before the chained wolves and yacht passengers.
"Glass is gone... oh well... " She kelt down before the bound captain, his cloths vanished
into the chaos, and immediately, she began to hump him. And his form within the world of
chaos, became that of the blind monsterous warped centaur that he was in the real world.
She then went to one of the other women in the ground, the cat woman grew a penis just
long enough for to invade and violate the innocent woman, whose spiritual also twisted
and warped until all that was left was the creature of chaos.
Time had limited meaning in the spiritual realm and she repeated this process over and
over, finding new and grotesque ways to hammer her way of 'thinking' into each of her
'subjects.' Until all that remained where her creatures of base impulses and loyal gem
wolves. With the last little boy whose friends were now the remaining three chimeras, she
opened up a sea of chaos below him, and plunged him in, when she pulled him out, an
exact replica of -their- Glass remained. Who prompty hugged her mother, her crystal
reflective form (lacking an alernate form) turned rainbow colors, then cool colors only then
warm colors, then clear, then black glass, then clear with tint of pear, the color changing
remaining until they broke apart.
The act being nothing more than a play acted parody of the kind of love Samantha had for
her family.
"There is no way to win when you have an opponent who can cheat all she wants!! And I'll
cheat, and I'll KEEP ON CHEATING, until the chaos is all that is left everywhere!"
And a black shock wave came of the island in all directions as the weather around the
island went completely and utterly mad. And Amethyst, on her knees covered in runes
drawn in blood, was raised up as a crag rose up in the middle of the island with a small
mesa on which Amethyst now knelt a similar crag with a spiral staircase leading to the
waiting two muses for the third. Similar flat crags rose up underneath of the gem wolves,
leaping from one to another in a completely chaotic dance devoid of harmony or pattern
as the creatures of depravity continued their actions below.
Amethysts said in a tranced voice, "Chaos must never end! It CAN never end! Forever,
ever, and always! Spread out further! And further! Until all is but beautiful and free chaos!"
The gem wolves all cheered at this not breaking stride in their dance of insanity among the
crag tops. Kurse in the curse world made a slash motion, and suddenly all the gem
wolves were all twins, but also now Amy's age and the new sets of twins continued their
dance. Kurse in the curse world clapped, and the wolves' skins fell away leaving only living
crystaline form the same color as their names, and stil the living crystal twins all continued
their dancing of absolute chaos in celebration of Kurse's birth, leaping from peak to peak,
only Amethyst still the same for the moment on the outside.
++++++
All those recently transformed by the curse felt the black shock wave, including in a
distant town a girl with cat ears and tail.
Amy felt sick as she got back to her feet, the only one had actually been knocked down.
The six children (three girls and three boys) had fainted from the trauma of their changes,
hopefully their parents would be saved by the time they woke up. Sarah moved them to
one of the bedrooms.
'No... I knew they were insane, but I never imagined they were THAT insane... Whatever
they did... it felt like some THING was just born. Something that uglier than ugly.'
++++++++
Strangely, the only ones this didn't effect was Kirk and Penny, made because their love for
each other was at the front of their minds (an emotion the witches never put much stock
in) or maybe it was some random kindness of divine will. Whatever the chase, Kirk and
Penny (both directly effect by the game and thus more aware of changes to reality than
everyone else who was not) still hugging each other early in the morning after 1 am in the
morning (the staff not feeling like telling the lions visiting hours were long long over and
Penny should have been resting), were quite surprised when a lioness and lion entered the
bedroom, and quickly hugged Kirk, crying, and swearing they'd do their hardest to protect
their son from now on.
Kirk of course, was very surprised to see his parents as naked lion people with his father's
wallet only on a cord around his neck hidden by his mane. "Mom, dad, is, is that, is this
really you?"
"I know it's been far to long son, but you still recognize us right?" Gloria said fearful the
curse had left her son unable to remember his own parents.
Kirk wondered if his own existence as a lion person had caused his parents mutation, not
knowing it was the fact the parents and child loved each other and had interacted that had
triggered the changes to reality.
Kirk DARED break away from the hug with Penny for a brief moment and hugged his
parents in return, "I recognize you both! I promise!" Which was true, for while he WAS
surprised to see them as lions like he was, and knew for a cold hard fact he, and his
parents had been human before being trapped as a statue... he found it hard to picture
them as human...
Penny was even more surprised, but she said nothing... 'Kirk is going to have a lot of
happy reunions to go around...'
Gloria looked at Penny, "Oh Penny thank you! ... So have you booked the church yet?"
"Mom!"
The elder lioness in the room teased, "Sorry son, couldn't resist!"
+++++++++
At the police station, Serenity too felt it, like the curse was almost going into overload, had
-almost- gone off with the force of a nuclear explosion (but thankfully had not). And now,
the feeling of a gigantic turn constantly in use was only bigger, like a cancer that had
made six month's progress in the space of a minute.
In fact, Serenity was sure she was feeling what might have been chaos effecting those
altered by the game here in Glendale, herself included. She couldn't bring herself to count
on who was in the room with her and who wasn't. Who was at Smith's manor she had
never been to personally? it ALMOST felt like people were shifting and teleporting around
randomly. Serenity shook her head, gray to God Almighty that what she felt was just
disorientation, otherwise they'd have a horde of insane wolves and lions in Glendale.
"This is going getting worse, and is going to continue to get worse... " Madam Serenity
said, "if you're going to invade the island and enter the mental world of the curse to
destroy it I suggest you do it very very fast and very very soon! Otherwise it'll be like
trying to save a terminally ill patient... My curse enables me to have a distinct feeling of
the curse's activities and... it feels like looking at a cancer growth in fast stop motion..."
"I'm still going." Trevor said simply.
++++++++++
The wolves began to gather in the living room, to settle the insanity that had briefly
entered the manor in the form of the six monsters.
"MOMMMY!" Samantha shouted hugging her mother Fran letting herself be lost in her
mother's bosom, Fran enjoying the smooth feeling of her baby against her body.
"It's okay dear, I'm right here, nothing bad will happen to you again, I promise."
Wanda and Nillie stood back to back looking at all the wolves, the place utterly and
completely reeked of dog! The smell was nearly intolerable for the lionesses unless they
happened to be engaging in an all out assault which they were not.
"Things are just getting crazier and crazier." Wanda muttered.
"You just figured that out?" Nillie said... "Yes this morning, well, yesterday I guess now, we
were just a couple of guys, now we're lion girls in the fast tract to weird relationships one
oh one!"
"The last part doesn't sound TOO bad..."
Amy staggered, her mother holding her paw. "Zelipe, you and the others stay here where
it's relatively safe."
"Okay." Zelipe said.
The other pups didn't complain, huddling among themselves between Mr. P and Miss
Martha Pack Omega, shocked to the core of Samantha's attack as Glass and the six
monsters that had come to kidnap them.
"Alice, Abbey, Samantha, we're going to need you too." Amy said. "I'm sorry Samantha but
we really do need you."
"We understand." The three said together.
"No." Fran said with finality, "Samantha's been hurt enough tonight, I'm taking her to bed,
hopefully when she wakes up in the morning this'll all be over."
The other two triplets nodded in agreement.
"Very well." Amy said.
June said, "Amy do YOU really need to go?"
"I'm the largest mobile source of white magic in Glendale, I'm the only thing that can face
the curse toe to toe."
A middle aged she wolf with white fur said, "I'm am going to rescue my nephew, you can
bring me along or I can sneak along, you're choice."
"As you wish." Amy sighed knowing this part was beyond her control.
The she wolves were of course surprised that Lawrence HAD an aunt.
++++++++++
A minute or so later at the police station and Alice returned along with Nellie, and Wanda...
and a white wolf with red brush markings.
The catholic priest turned ape and Shinto Priestess turned wolf girl calmly walked to each
other and stared into each other's eyes passively.
"You're naked."
"So are you. My theology strictly says that reincarnation is fiction. I'm going to believe that
you're merely being guided by the spirit of the woman you believe yourself to be a
reincarnation of." Signed the great ape.
"Fair enough." Amy nodded, after all, there were elements of Paul's theology that Ami's
theology had taught were fiction so it was a square deal. "So you have the power to drive
out demons?"
"My grandfather was an exorcist." Paul sighed, "I studied under him in depth before I was
struck by the curse. I have used those talents since I accepted my fate once."
"Your conviction is strong, your faith powerful, and your desire to help others with no
thoughts to yourself are genuine and not clouded. You can fight along side me to destroy
the curse's awareness I am certain of it."
"Thhhank-yuuu."
"Welcome."
The clock struck two AM.
Brian said, "You can take us right to the island, we provide a distraction for the people
who the curse had warped, and you and Father Paul destroy the curse's brain?"
Amy nodded.
Gill said, "You're not going."
Felicity said, "Go to Hell."
"Why you-"
"GILL! Don't," Serenity pleaded, "Just don't, it's past late, we're all tired, but we can't afford
to stop against a thing that doesn't tire. ... We just don't have time to argue."
Gill groaned, "Oh to hades with it all. You brought this transformation on yourselves, go
get slaughtered and leave your daughter an orphan for all I care."
"She won't be Chief even if that happened, which won't," Elise said, "She's part of the
pride, she's ALL of our responsibility."
Gill was too tired to argue.
"Come back safe okay," Mary hugged Trevor.
"I will I promise." Trevor hugged Mary.
'You aren't as off the hook as you'd like everything to think Trevor.'
The tired Trevor heard a non-human, non-cat familiar voice say at the back of his mind,
Trevor ignored it.
Gary said, "Alright. Brian. Felicity. Bobbi, Bernie, MJ, Wanda, Nillie, Lexi, Megan, Sasha, Fox,
Elise, Areal, Armisael, Ma'akh, Gabriel. Jensen Smith. Glass wolf-"
"My name is Alice."
"-Alice. We're going in!"
Each of the lions took hands, with Gary taking Alice's hand, Jensen taking his daughter's
other hand.
Alice entered the mirror world, the rest following. Jensen's appearance... was nothing
short of a victorian monarchy minus crown or scepter. The lions... many were dressed as
english bobbys. Arael, Gabriel, and Mal'akh were unexplicitly dressed like something out of
the zero century Israel. Brian and Felicity were dressed in African tribal gab that wasn't all
that much had tattoos on their bodies. If Trevor had been there he would have had similar
to Brian and Felicity and would have Mary.
Ami asked Paul to relax, and was surprised to find the great ape already in a meditation
pose lifted by his hands and having his 'feet' in yoga gestures looking very calm. Amy only
nodded and assumed a meditative pose herself.
Trevor looked completely out of place the Lutheran christian now lion boy tried to make
himself comfortable.
++++++++
Abbey took the hand of her mother, and Darla, Beth, Yomato, Chiyoye (still with breasts
that were larger than was biologically possibe), Zack, June, Hope, Grace, Isebelle, Megan,
Margot, Ashley, AND OF COURSE Nicole, flicking her red ribbon one time for good luck
(not that she believed in luck), Nick, and forever loyal Alexandra. And bringing up the rear
was the three musketeers: Millie, Robyn and Maxine.
"Why are we doing this idea?" Millie asked.
"Because it's the climax duh! I'm not missing that and neither are you!" Maxine cheered.
"Ya'all think we should be thinkin' more how we're all girls now that our heads are all
cleaned up all pretty?" Robyn asked.
"at this point," Maxine said, "The only way any of us are going to stay sane is to go with
the flow."
Every nodded at that.
Alice had used the reflections on her and Abbey's body to start handing out cure vials,
(there would be plenty of time to make new ones for the wolf pack and pride to use on
themselves later), Amy said that with the curse having disregarded anything resembling
rules on the island, that the white powder would be actually MORE potent in it's
effectiveness than in Glendale, so each assault memember was handed a vial of the
powder as if they were grenades.
In a mirror behind Kaylee, a crystal glass wolf head came out and whispered the game to
her, Kaylee became paralyzed. A minute later with everyone looking at the assault group
she was pulled into another part of the mirror verse.
A minute ahead of the two assault teams (three if you counted Paul and Amy/Ami) the
new Glass emerged holding the hand of the dainty and obedient and submissive Kaylee,
her eyes solid gradient yellow. She spoke not a word as she emerged from the solid
reflective surface that had twisted into being just for her entrance, Glass let her go and
Glass ready to do her part of drawing out the conflict as long as possible with no intent of
winning only extending the life span of the chaos when the heroes arrive a minute from
then.
Kaylee not speaking a word walked up the spiral crag, the now truly gem wolf twins
dancing around her like they were in low gravity almost dancing from one crag face to the
other not slowing down or hitting each other once. Some leapt on and off her, some
danced around her, but she just continued her peaceful and calm trek up the crag until
she was before the incomplete statue.
'Incomplete, because I'm not there, I am a part of this art, yet I am not there, that is
wrong. I love being beautiful, now I can be beautiful forever, now I shall experience the
statue transformation that I have wondered about for so long first hand.' Kaylee thought
her thoughts in a twist fog her mind becoming the twisted fog.
She stepped onto the pedestal, turned around, and calmly assumed the pose of the middle
muse, a moment later, her body faded to solid marble, a smile on her face. Thinking of
how beautiful she looked, the other two parts of the statue also saying how beautiful she
looked, and how cool being a statue was.
The two teams led by the indestructible Abby and Alice, (her mothers switching teams
midway to look after her child) emerged on opposite sides of the island.
"Welcome to Big Bad Island... I am Glass, we encourage all guests to full embrace their
impulses and whims and experience absolute freedom." Glass said to Abbey's group as
they emerged half-hazardly from the now pitch black waters around the tropical island at
two PM in the afteroon on the other side of the world from Glendale. "What awaits you is
pure and absolute happiness."
Ami found herself naked holding a brush in her right hand, a bow in her left hand, and a
quiver strapped to her back. Paul also looked much the same except a bible in latin in one
hand, and a stick the likes of which you'd doodle in the sand in the other. His crucifix was
still around his neck.
Amy hadn't known was to expect, but seeing in the distance a fifteen foot tall black cat
woman with ample breasts laying lazily on her side on a freight struck sized couch wasn't
one of them.
Amy didn't look back to see what Trevor looked like now.
"Welcome to Big Bad Island, my name is Kurse, with a K. I'll be your newborn goddess
today. If you were expecting anyone else by the names of Gomorrah, Golgatha, or a lady
familiar named Herodias, you'll be happy to know you're speaking to her right now. So sit
back, relate and let your base impulses be your guide without taboo and without being
judged for acting on those impulses. So let all those urges go and run with'em!"
Paul said, "Derr ez, on-lee, onn god, ann' ed izzent, yuu."
Kursed frowned.
