Story - FF7: Aftermath
I don't really have a title for this, so if you come up with something better please let me know.
Quote:
There was no doubt about it: Tifa was bored. Certainly she was glad to have finally finished off Sephiroth, destroyed Meteor, and basically saved the entire planet, but now she kind of missed those days. It was exciting! Running for their lives, winning against impossible odds, ending global threats ? there was nothing like it.
And now she had to face the facts. There really was nothing like it. Still, she had a job to do, and she laced up her well-worn boots and prepared for another day out in the field.
AVALANCHE had shifted with the times. The people made aware of both the Lifestream and how Mako energy hurt it, and the backlash had crippled Shinra. So AVALANCHE was now little more than a group of glorified monster hunters patrolling the areas around Midgar.
On this day, however, just as Tifa delivered the final, crippling blow to a group of Jayjujayme, one of them dropped a peculiar piece of materia. She thought that she had seen all types in her travels, but this one was different. It shifted colors rapidly, as if it couldn?t make up its mind, and it radiated with a magical energy that she couldn?t quite figure out.
Ever-curious, she slotted the piece into her weapon and continued her patrols. But now there was a new spring in her step and an eagerness in her eyes. Finally, something out of the ordinary! She couldn?t wait to see what it would do once it leveled.
=============
?Cloud! Wake up already!?
The young man with unnaturally spiky hair rolled over, but refused to get out of the bed. ?Barret, I?m really sleepy. Whatever it is, it can wait until later.?
?Get yo dumb ass out of bed, now!? shouted Barret with his usual forcefulness. Cloud jumped at the sudden noise and fell backwards onto the floor.
?Ow!? he said, rubbing his head.
Barret ignored his protests and threw his combat gear into a heap by his feet. ?Get dressed. Everyone says that there?s a huge monster running loose outside the city, and we?ve got to stop it.?
That got Cloud?s attention. ?Do they know what kind? Is Emerald WEAPON back? PLEASE tell me Emerald isn?t back!?
?They don?t know, stupid! They?re just panicking civilians! Now get dressed already, we?ve got a job to do.?
Cloud put on his armor and inspected his sword with all the confidence and precision of someone who had done it a thousand times before. Satisfied everything was ready, he joined up with Barret and the two of them headed out of the outskirts and into the wilderness.
=============
Cloud had to crane his neck to look way up at his partner. ?Tifa? What are you doing out here?!?
?What does it look like I?m doing, Cloud? HELP ME YOU IDIOT!? she shouted, as her attacks bounced harmlessly off of the giant octopus-like monster?s tentacles. It responded by squeezing her ever tighter and lifting her even higher into the air.
Barret wasted no time. Deactivating the safety from his custom-made arm-cannon, he fired shot after shot of high explosive into the thing?s body. However, the 100? tall creature?s thick mucus secretions made that a futile effort.
With a yell, cloud charged at the thing, his heavy Buster sword drawn. He effortlessly leapt the 30 or so feet that Tifa was being held at, and with one blow of his sword he severed the thick, rubbery tentacle that was imprisoning her.
She staggered to get to her feet and began to wiped the slime from her body. ?Cloud??
?Aww, Tifa, it was nothing.?
?Move!? she shouted as she delivered a powerful kick to his midsection. Cloud flew back 20 feet, narrowly avoiding the tentacle that came crashing down exactly where he was standing just a moment ago. ?This thing doesn?t give up easy!?
?Yeah, I can see that.? The trio watched in both fascination and dread as the severed tentacle dissolved into slime, only to merge with the main body and reform again.
Barret went slightly green. ?OK, that is the nastiest thing I have ever seen. And I?ve seen Cloud wear a dress!?
?Hey! That was for a mission!? he shouted back even while dodging the monster?s attacks.
?Boys? now?s not the time. We need to drop this thing!?
Barret was using the bullets from his gun to deflect the thing?s massive arms. ?I?m open to suggestions!?
Tifa thought for a second. ?I?ve got an idea, but you?re not going to like it.? She turned her attention to Cloud. ?Cut off one of the arms!?
?What, again? Didn?t we just try that??
?Just do it!?
Cloud sighed, and the next time the monster attacked, Cloud swung his sword and neatly removed almost three feet of tentacle. As before, the severed piece began to disintegrate into a slimy, gooey mess.
Tifa wasted no time. She sprinted over to the muck and plunged her arm in. The slime immediately began to travel up over her fist.
Barret was horrified. ?Girl, what the hell are you doing??
?This?ll work. Trust me.? She silently added ?I hope?. Once the goo had completely lined her arm in a slimy shell, it vanished.
Cloud was suddenly very concerned for her safety. ?What?! Where?d it go??
?It?s?. in? me?..? she muttered through clenched teeth. She dropped to her knees and screamed, prompting Cloud and Barret to scramble to protect her. But just as they ran over to her, the screaming stopped and she picked herself off the ground, apparently unharmed.
?What just happened??
?Guys, really. I?m fine.?
Barret raised an eyebrow. ?Really? Because from where I?m standing, you look?.?
?? better than alright,? finished Cloud.
Tifa looked down at her shirt to see what they were talking about. Her legendary DD bust was growing! She could plainly see (and feel!) her breasts swell larger and fuller with each passing moment. It was all she could do to keep from fondling herself right there. Instead, she tried to focus on her breathing, but that just made her notice just how much more they jiggled with each breath.
Cloud was quickly forgetting about the monster, leaving just Barret to protect the two of them. ?Cloud! Stop gawking and start helping!?
Barret?s shouting didn?t affect Cloud, but it did snap Tifa back. A quick glance at the monster confirmed her thoughts. By absorbing it into herself, the monster couldn?t regenerate the damage. ?I don?t know if I can handle any more of this, but I don?t see any other way to stop this thing,? she thought to herself.
Her mind was now focused, and her task clear. ?Cloud! Keep cutting pieces off! Barret, cover me while I absorb them!? Barret was hesitant to see her absorb any more of that stuff, but the look of determination she had erased his doubts.
Cloud, on the other hand, was happily cutting away at the thing every chance he got. If Tifa wanted more of the stuff, she could have it. No more monster? and a lot more Tifa.
As the slimy pieces began to rain down around them, Tifa focused. The shimmering materia in her glove began to glow brightly as she used its magic to draw them into herself. The bits moved slowly at first, but quickly gained speed and in just a few seconds Tifa was completely encased in the disgusting mess.
That was short lived. Just as before, in a heartbeat the slime disappeared from around her, leaving her completely intact. ?This might?ve been a mistake?? she thought to herself.
Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. This time, however, she didn?t need protecting. All of the tentacles had been completely severed, leaving just a bulbous torso flailing a bunch of useless stumps. So instead the duo could focus their attention on her; Barret in a fatherly manner, Cloud less so.
Tifa kept waiting for her breasts to grow again. Already they were the largest she had ever seen ? incredibly H-cups that bounced and swayed with minds of their own ? and she just wanted to get it over with and see how big they would get this time. But after almost a minute of intense scrutiny for even the slightest change in size, she couldn?t see any difference. ?Maybe I?ve gotten better at absorbing the goo,? she thought to herself. And then she stood up?
? and up and up. Cloud and Barret looked like dolls next to her. Barret, who was 6?5?, was barely taller than her knees! Her mind was racing. ?Oh God, I was so focused on my tits that I didn?t notice the rest of me. Thank heaven that the magic grew my clothes with me. OK, Tifa, just don?t panic, don?t panic, don?t panic.??
Barret?s voice sounded so different when it came from so far below her. ?Girl, I hate to interrupt your hysteria, but that thing?s still coming!?
Tifa looked up and saw that the creature was regenerating its tentacles again, but this time it was forced to pull mass from its body in order to do so. In other words, it was shrinking. She saw her chance. The 20? woman sprinted towards the beast (trying unsuccessfully to ignore the increased sway of her boobs all the while) and, with one punch, plunged her arm shoulder-deep into the monster.
It shrieked and fought, but its many arms were still little more than stubs. With a thought, the materia activated again, and this time she absorbed the entire creature into herself. She fell to her knees again, panting and sweating from the strain, and waited for the inevitable.
She didn?t have to wait long, and this time she was ready for it. She looked back at her comrades as they shrank smaller and smaller. All around her, the entire planet was getting tinier by the second. But that wasn?t true, of course. She was simply becoming something? more. She smiled at the thought.
=============
?Cloud! Get out of bed!? shouted Tifa. When the sleeping man grunted but didn?t wake up, she simply grabbed one side of the bed and lifted, sending him sprawling onto the ground.
?Ow! What?d you do that for?!?
Tifa couldn?t hide her smirk. ?Breakfast is almost ready. Get dressed and get downstairs.? As she walked away, she shrank down from her intimidating 8? stature to her new ?normal? height of 6?3?. It was a couple of inches shorter than Barret, a couple of inches taller than Cloud, and nearly a foot taller than her original height. In other words, perfect.
The first couple of days were rough, but now that she could control the magic, life couldn?t be better for her. Patrols were certainly easier. And everyone loved the new Tifa, especially Cloud. While she liked to tease him with her size-changing abilities, he liked to play with her fantastically increased ?assets? just as much, if not more. She never could figure out how to get them to shrink down to normal, but truth be told, she didn?t really care either.
The citizens of Midgar were equally impressed with their new heroine. Whether it was putting out fires, stopping monter attacks, or just rescuing kittens from trees, there wasn?t anything that the new-and-improved Tifa couldn?t handle.
As she finished making breakfast for the morning shift, she admired the materia that started the whole thing. It continued to shift colors endlessly even to this day. And while she had never intended to summon a monster with it, things had worked out for the best.
And besides, now that it had been mastered, it acted like every other materia did and spawned a fresh duplicate of itself. She admired the color shifting properties of the copy briefly before pocketing it again. She couldn?t wait to see what it?s new owner would do with it. ?I always thought that Yuffie could use a little more up top,? she thought to herself.

What do you think? What did you like? Hate? I welcome any and all of your comments and questions. Please let me know, as I am a shameless attention whore.
I never really liked Cloud, so naturally I made him into everyone's punching bag.
