And here is Part 4!

Part 4.

But this situation didn't mean she had to go down quietly. "Wait, go down?" she thought. Julie looked down at her 'feet' and how they had turned into a puddle of slime. "That's it!" she exclaimed in her mind. She was a shapeshifter, so she could alter herself to suit the situation.

"Are you coming with us, or do I order my men to shoot, little girl?" the commander asked, unaware of Julie's plan. Julie looked up with a smile, brimming with confidence for once.

She taunted with her hand, lifting her middle finger as her well endowed body began to melt and collapse on the ground.

The irked commander yelled out: "Take the smartass out!"

As bullets began to fly to Julie's way, her transformation hastened and she suddenly fell all the way down, melting into what seemed to be a puddle of fluid, the last of her that was seen as every bullet missed was her right arm still lifted and making the rude gesture right before it joined the blue block on the floor.

"Hold your fire. HOLD YOUR FIRE!" barked the commander, "Phillips where the hell did she go?! She was in front of you for fuck's sake!"

"Unknown, she seems to have collapsed upon herself! She's gone!"

"She can't be gone, search the area you blokes! We can't let her get out, or we can kiss our bonus goodbye!"

"Roger!" the squad called out, and a few splintered to sweep the labrynth of technology.

In her liquid form, Julie possessed no eyes, but her citoplasm was outlined with microscopic rows of semi-articulate feelers that allowed her to sense movement via examination of air particles, similar to how snakes use their tongue to hunt. In a way, she could 'see' everywhere now.

Being liquid, she barely had trouble moving through the tiled floor of the lab, using the crevices in-between each individual tile to move undetected. Her first thought was to leave without confrontation, but the stairs had no crevices, and if they saw a puddle moving on the steps they would know it was her. Worse, there were guards stationed at every staircase and door.

What she needed was a way to take the guards out as silently as possible, and some means of defense. "Maybe if I take their armor and weapons I can use them against them..." she theorized, although she had never fired a gun before. "I'll have to learn, how hard can it be...?"

Using her improved senses, Julie kept moving. She tailed one of the guards who was checking one of the sealed rooms and, making sure no one was currently seeing him, she made her move. Willing herself to reform, slime began to pour out of the elaborate hiding spot and become a towering pillar of blue behind the guard.

"That thing sure has some guts giving the commander the finger. Guts and tits, girl sure had some bod on her for being a monster. Wouldn't mind tapping a piece of that..." the guard mused to himself as he checked behind the equipment, careful of any surprise attacks from the front.

Without making a sound, two pseudopodia shot out of Julie's formless shape and made sure to bind the guard's arms together and to tape his mouth shut. Julie's head reformed behind the guard and she whispered, "Mmm, I bet a stud like you won't mind sparing some armor."

With that, Julie hungrily engulfed the guard, making sure to cushion his fall as she wrapped around him completely. Now it was going to be even harder for everyone else to see as she fed.

As usual, the victim was sedated and his pain numbed. This time however, the cell activated a different process that until this time it had not been able to execute. As the body became nutrients for Julie, the bulletproof vest began to break apart into the kevlar's most basic components, the guard's rifle went down the same path.

Unaware, Julie enjoyed her meal until nothing was left. The walkie talkie dropped to the floor as she was done eating.

"Robertson, do you copy? Robertson?" the radio sounded off, "...shit!"

This alerted Julie, who tried to melt into a puddle but was stopped by her own cell. She was forced back to her slime form, and a jolt of pleasure ran up her body, "Ahh..." she tried to hold back a loud moan, her arms stretching out as a blotch of gray began to expand out of her midriff; it spread all over her like a super thin, light coating of protective composite.

Julie gasped a bit as the material interfaced with her hardened goo skin, creating a silver colored suit of skin-tight armor that appeared over the entirety of her body, save for her head. Then, the material began to create a protective mask that, for comfort's sake, allowed a visor of sorts to manifest for Julie to see. The only slimy part of her now were a few strands of her hair that came out of the face-mask. As she calmed down, Julie didn't have any time to inspect herself that two guards scouring for Robertson showed up.

"I see her! Robertson is nowhere to be found, goddamnit!" the first guard shouted into his radio as the other held his firearm at the ready to shoot the silver colored slime.

"What the hell did she do? She's all metallic lookin' now. What kinda monster is this?!" the guard's partner exclaimed, unable to believe his eyes.

"Must be a trick, well, Robertson's death won't be in vain. SMOKE HER!"

Julie's eyes widened and she instinctively brought her arms up. The bullets began to fly in her direction, but this time, the protective suit of armor worked to deflect each and every bullet, sending them ricochetting all over the place.

"Uwaahh!" the first guard cried as a stray one hit him in the chest, taking him down.

"Shit, shit! Guns don't work?!" the second one panicked, running off with a horrified expression, leaving Julie and his wounded partner alone.

For the brief moment she was left to her own devices, Julie began to drop her arms, blinking her eyes a bit as she noticed the first wounded guard, and, most importantly, that she was scratchless. The bullets had bounced off her kevlar-hard goo alloyed full body armor. Julie smiled through her covered face, "This makes it much easier."

There was no time for respite though, she had to keep moving. Even though the body armor was a thin coating of metal that had merged with some of her hardened goo, she wasn't able to liquify it. She somehow knew she could leave the suit behind, but if she did, she would have gone back to square one. She noticed she couldn't slide anymore either thanks to the metal coating her feet too.

"Well, I might have limited movement now, but at least bullets won't knock me out... I hope," Julie told herself, then looked up at the second floor, then back down at the bleed-out guard. "I hate having to stand you up darling, but I gotta bail," she took the guard's weapon, finding it was easy to hold it. "Huh, odd. Always thought these were heavier than they looked."

Jokes aside, Julie knew she was going to have trouble firing a gun she had never used before, but she decided to carry it with her just in case. "There should be more guys down here, and they're gonna come this way soon thanks to Screaming McWetPants," she groaned in annoyance, but at least she was confident that she could survive bullets. Taking a deep breathe, she prepared to rush through them.

------------

Panting, the second guard from earlier finally reached the rest of his teammates, where Phillips was overseeing the search. "Ahh- ahh! This is bad, bad, really bad!"

"What's bad, hey! Calm yourself! Did you find Robertson? Where's your partner?!" Phillips growled, grabbing his underling by the collar to keep him steady.

"She ate Robertson! Bullets don't do anything to her! Julianos is down!" the guard relayed quickly, but understandably at least.

"Shit, fall back. She'll be coming anytime if she found a way to make herself invulnerable! We'll have to stop her through sheer force!" Phillips ordered, sending his men to the first floor stairs where they would try to push the monster back.

As they rushed to get in position, Phillips contacted the commander. "Sir, there's a problem- the target is apparently bullet proof. I repeat, the bitch is bullet proof!"

The commander's rough voice barked back in response, "Bullet proof eh? Don't worry, we've a little something in the making up here. It'll be sure to put a stop to her, bullet proof or not. Adams needs time to finish it, so buy him time. I'm sending you four big guys your way Phillips, don't take unnecessary risks!"

"Copy that. Over and out," Phillips climbed the last step before he finally noticed their target emerging from a counter on the to the side of the testing area.

---------------

Julie stood there, a powerful new being that was neither woman nor slime, but at the same time was something more, much more. With her fists clenched and her womanly legs giving a visual sway of the hips with each step forwards that she took, the eyes of the remaining lower floor team fixed on her.

It was even harder now to tell what she looked like other than the obvious large breasts on her chest and the wide hips that complemented her sexy ass, the suit of skin-tight protection made her look like a ninja. "Get out of my way," she demanded as she looked up, her eyes showing determination.

Phillips gulped. So far they had all come to the conclussion that their firepower was enough to stop the monster, but so far it only seemed to be getting stronger and more powerful. If they didn't stop it here, it would surely get out and then it'd be a loose cannon running amok in the city. And THEY would be blamed for that.

"You're not getting out of here on your own, monster," Phillips reassured, "Defend this position!" he shouted to his men, who had been joined by the commander's additional reinforcements.

A wall of armed men stood before Julie, weapons trained on her. They knew it was hopeless. But they knew this was just a means to have the slime girl fall into their trap. They were the distraction. "FIRE!" Phillips finally called.

Julie, having expected this, braced herself and ducked, then kicked off the floor with enough force to crack its tiles as she leapt forwards into a dash that would've put a cheetah to shame. Bullets sprayed down her way, and though her crossed arms over her face did not allow her to see, the feelers on the free strands of hair behind her allowed her to sense movement.

Bullets bounced off of her, ricochetting and once again taking a couple of the shooters down in the 'crossfire' as she climbed the stairs up as fast as she could. Eventually, weapons began clicking as the magazines ran out of ammo, and without time for reloads, they all braced for impact.

Julie ran through and scattered the defense team as if a bowling ball launched by King Kong had just crashed against a neat row of pins. She didn't stop even for a moment, not to say a smart quip, not to check upon what had remained of them; all she did was lower her arms to be able to run faster once the bullets stopped firing. The metalic slime girl ran at top speed, "Freedom, freedom!" she chanted in her mind as she climbed the second floor. Somehow, she knew that after reaching that place it wouldn't be long before she saw the light of day again.

But just as she was reaching the armrest where she had seen the commander talk her down from earlier, she widened her eyes as there was a second team waiting for her, and they began to unload clip after clip on her. The surprise caused her to skid to a halt after a loss of momentum.

This irritated her as she brought her arms up again, being repelled backwards as too many bullets came her way. "Grr... this is starting to piss me off!" Julie angrily growled.

Looking down at the gun she was still holding, Julie reached out with her right arm and tried to fire, but the trigger only caused an empty clicking that angered her further. "Goddamnit, why can't you be useful?!" she shouted, when suddenly all of her fingers suddenly shot out and engulfed the rifle. Julie blinked a bit, gasping as she looked past all the sparks flying off her armored skin and noticed that she was breaking the gun apart within her right arm. Several parts that Julie did not need were simply dissolved or discarded, but others fused with her metalic skin, creating what appeared to be a literal arm cannon. "This... this feels weird..." she admitted.

"What the hell is she doing? She broke that rifle apart... wait, she's aiming at us!!" the lead shooter shouted. The bursts did not stop, everyone was coordinating so they were constantly pushing back with the controlled shooting without all having to stop and reload.

Julie by herself was confused, but somehow, she felt her arm was still the same even though it looked far from its former shape. "Whatever, PISS OFF!" she shouted angrily, her arm cannons starting to unload pellet after pellet which were as solid as the actual bullets, travelled with the same speed as bullets, but were made with the excess biomass she still had in store.

With wide and scared eyes the guards briefly stopped shooting and began to scatter, afraid of Julie's nearly endless spray of biobullets. She lowered her free arm and used it to support her arm cannon, aiming it at her aggessors to take them out. One by one they all fell, if not because of lucky accuracy, from the sheer number of biobullets fired.

When Julie was pretty sure she wouldn't be bothered anymore, she stopped firing and kept going forwards. "There better not be anymore of these gunners in my way!" she grunted. The columns at the corner of the last left she had to make were concealing the final obstacle.

Julie skidded to a halt again as she was greeted by a strange contraption to her right. She tried to back away out of reflex, but then she noticed the commander and two of his remaining goons standing above safely on the third floor, "Good job making it this far, little girl. Too bad you're not going any further, eh?" he grinned.

Julie looked up, her masked face hiding rage, "I should've stayed stealthy until I had a chance at eating that bastard," she growled to herself, then her eyes dropped to the machine, unsure of what it was going to do. It looked like it had been outfitted with several extinguisher tanks, but she couldn't tell much else about it. "You've tried stopping me a lot today, don't you know when to call it quits?!" she yelled.

"Oh, but I won't just try to stop you. I'll stop you COLD! Do it Adams, freeze her ass off!" the man commanded.

"Freeze?!" Julie's eyes widened. She had no idea how to counter something like that, so she did the first thing her instincts told her and she turned tail before trying to run off. The blast of the machine however was quicker and suddenly a wave of freezing chemicals began to run down her path of escape. Julie's armored body was caught in the wave.

"We got her!"

---------------

The commander proudly walked down the stairs with Adams and his other goon in tow. He smirked as he noticed the frozen statue the metalic frame had become. "Well well, did my words chill you to the bone?" he laughed, "Oh, my bad. You don't have any bones, do you?" he boomed with laughter, happy about his accomplishment.

Julie of course did not reply. "Heh, Adams, you've outdone yourself. Haven't seen someone whip up such a solution in such record time," he proudly grinned, patting his underling in the back. "We'll be collecting enough money to be well off for the rest of our lives... And just think, we might have just become heroes who saved the world from a monster!" Adams meekly smiled, not having much else to add.

"Just doing my job, sir."

"And you..." the commander turned back to the statue of Julie, "Did you think I'd let you off with how you treated me?" he growled, "Embarrass me in front of my men, will you?!" he shouted angrily, suddenly driving a fist through the statue's head, shattering it to pieces.

The other two gasped in surprise. "Sir!" Even the commander was baffled.

"Oh relax. She was able to become liquid, she can survive that," The commander grinned, sure of himself, "There's nothing she can do, the rest of her body is right... here... trapped in... ice."

When the commander checked inside he noticed the statue was all but hollow inside. As if the filling simply had vanished. Then he reminded himself of the eyes he had seen through the small visor this metal suit used to have, and also the time Julie had melted into a puddle to escape from sight.

The commander was past the point of recovering the sanity lost in the instant he made the connection. "Fuck... Fuck... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"

---------------

Julie slid through a straight path at top speed, smiling to herself as she had come out of the whole experience unscathed. "Almost there...!" she grinned, her form going back to her human shape as she wanted to be able to run down the final set of stairs the would lead her to reception.

The only thing standing before her and complete freedom was a set of double doors at the entrance to the building. "OUT OF MY WAY!" she cheerfully shouted, and unable to contain herself literally charged through, smashing past the exit. The alarm rung, but she didn't care. She was out, she was literally able to do anything she wanted.

Finally, things were going to go her way.

Whether others agreed with it...

or not.

The End ?
