This choice: The parasyte gives her god-like powers • Go Back... Shelby was elated by her most recent growth spurt, having grown roughly 250 feet tall. That feeling was soon replaced by slight embarrassment at being totally naked, though being so big mitigated that feeling a great deal, and then horror at the realization of what she had done. She didn't believe she had killed any innocent people in her growth, but the terminal was ruined. It had excited her at the time, but now the devastation she caused was hitting home and she didn't like it.
"If only I could do something about all the damage I caused... Like having god-like powers or something to that effect..." Shelby thought out loud as she stepped out of the giant hole she had created. While doing so, she tried to make sure she didn't step on anyone. Not that hard, considering most everyone was trying to avoid the same fate, but she wanted to avoid having innocent blood on her conscience. She didn't enjoy killing the Iraqi extremists she had to during her most recent tour of duty in Iraq, either.
The symbiotic life-form that permeated every cell of Shelby's body read and responded to her desire upon being given something concrete to work with. The beautiful giant redheaded military girl felt a sensation run through her, and Shelby felt...good. Better than good, even. She never felt anywhere near as overall good as she did right now in her entire life! And there was a sense of power within her, a power which she was more than willing to try.
Upon focusing on seeing the airport terminal that she all but demolished restored, the building began to slowly but surely piece itself back together. The bathroom she had previously occupied dried up as the sinks and toilets returned to their intact and fully functional state, the walls of the stalls straightening and re-affixing themselves to the floor and bathroom wall. The floor above restored itself as though being worked on by invisible construction workers, while the glass from the roof shot upwards and each piece resumed its original place. Once there, the seams between each innumerable shard disappeared as they became whole panes once again.
By the time the entire terminal was restored, there was not even a trace of it being damaged physically. A memory was all that remained. Well, that and the 250 foot tall Shelby looking very pleased with herself. Her clothes had been restored as well, but for now she decided to have them stored in her suitcase...which she had yet to pick up. In a matter of moments, the tiny object was in her hand. Shelby left it at its original size, as that was easier to carry and less potentially damaging than if she were to expand it to scale with her.
The auburn haired giantess felt it best to take a seat and think about what has happened to her, so she carefully seated herself on the ground where she wouldn't be interfering with anything. "Just what's gotten into me today?" Shelby asked herself aloud, her mind desiring the answer. The symbiotic life-form, acting on this desire, answered the question in her mind. Naturally, this knowledge alarmed the 24 year old as she muttered, "A microscopic, alien symbiotic organism that feeds off of one's hormones and desires...and in return can grant any of its host's wishes regarding their body, conscious or not. That's certainly...interesting..."
And yet, the longer Shelby thought about it, the cooler it actually sounded. It wouldn't harm her, it fed on something her body produced anyway, AND granted her deepest fantasy to become reality. Certainly a lot better than being injected with some top secret military experiment, as she really disliked the idea of being the US military's human guinea pig, as though her life was trivial at best to her superiors. Not to mention her father, Gregory Thompson, would have a fit over the matter.
Still, the unconscious part of fulfilling her wishes with her body could be dangerous. Anything could happen with just the merest whim. The symbiotic organism clarified how it functioned based on her desire for that knowledge, and Shelby discovered that the unconscious wish needed to be a strong one in order to act upon it. The host's conscious wishes overrode the unconscious ones otherwise. That was a great relief. Another was that it strengthened the host's body to superhuman levels, making them very resistant to harm. It was only natural for the host's body to desire such protection, after all.
Of course what Shelby didn't know was that the symbiotic organism was in or on everything she had with her when she returned from Iraq. She might not be the only person around to gain the benefit of being the host of the microbes, but such a thought didn't really even cross her mind. Shelby did, however, reduce people's fear of her as a giantess by thinking about it. She liked the idea of being looked upon with awe and slight admiration, not fear and hatred.
Shelby then recognized that she needed to get going to head home, and as hot as it would be for her to do so naked...she opted to get dressed again after all. So she used her newly gained power to put her previous clothes on scaled to fit her as well as they did at her original height. Which meant that all her features were still accentuated the way she enjoyed. And her selection of clothes made certain that others weren't any wiser to the fact that this young woman was in the US military unless they had been touring with her over in Iraq.
And then, to give her audience one last spectacle before she left, Shelby stood up and began to grow again. With her powers, she made her clothes expand with her this time. Higher and higher she grew, enjoying the experience immensely yet restraining herself from putting her hand down her hip-hugging jeans. She didn't stop growing until she was a full 566 feet, 8 inches tall - 100 times her original height. She still wasn't quite satisfied with this, but it would do for now. With a wink, she vanished, leaving most people there wondering just who was that giant girl...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
