"How are you doing?" I asked Amy, and she smiled at me.
"Really good, actually. I have wanted to stand up to my father my entire life, and to see how he has turned into an animal made it easier. Thank you for coming; I don't think I could have done that without you here," Amy smiled, and I kissed her, and then she clothed me.
"Sorry, I came right away. I was going to wait a bit, but Gaia seems to have taken a liking to the new AI, Firaga. She was even able to remove the Villain Itch, but we still don't have full control of her," I explained, and Amy nodded as we turned back to the other girls and two of the big leopards.
Melody was sitting on top of one of them, but she jumped down, the grass catching her to land softly. Sofia and Marley also came over to meet me, and we all found a place to sit down.
"So, how did everything go?" I asked as we sat down on an ever-expanding grass patch with tiger lilies, tulips, and other flowers popping up.
"There were a lot of dead people, but we expected that. Didn't make it any less hard, but we have all the surviving pop that want to live peacefully with us in great trees or be led," Sofia explained with a sigh, and I nodded.
"I am sorry to ask you girls to do this, but it must be done. I should have come here sooner, but I can only grow so fast. The forest is a lot bigger than it was, but we are a long way from being able to save the world. Unfortunately, things will only get worse from here, but I will find better ways to do the search and rescue. We will have to look for people with experience in doing these things," I explained, and Sofia nodded.
"I will start working with Anya, and we can start doing broadcasts in the trees asking for people with experience in the jobs. After that, we will be able to interview them, and if they are suitable, then we will bring them to you, and we can get them integrated," Sofia explained, and Marley nodded.
"I want to keep doing this kind of thing, so I will help train everyone that we need to control our bodies. I know there will be some bad scenes, but there will be a lot of happy faces. That will make it worth it," Marley explained, and I nodded.
"Perfect. Thank you for doing this. The three of you will make a great team. Melody, how are things going with your System? Have you tried transforming yet?" I asked, and Melody looked at me strangely.
"Huh? You never told me that?!" Melody exclaimed, and I sighed.
"Here," I said, opening her screen in my vision, and then passed it over by pushing it.
Melody almost fell over as the screen filled her vision. I wasn't sure how I did it, but I just knew it would work somehow.
"Waaah!? There is so much stuff that I can do!" Melody said, and then she shrunk into a white cat that reminded me of Alfredo.
"Wait! How did you do that?! Can I see my chart?!" Sofia asked excitedly, so I pulled up each of the girls and tossed them over.
"Wow, my dress can do much more than I thought!" Marley exclaimed.
"I can weaponize the clothing I make?! What does that even mean… oh! It tells me if I think about the question! That is nifty!" Amy exclaimed, and I laughed, but Sofia walked over to me and placed her hands on my cheeks.
"Hold still for a moment, Papi. I want to do some things for you since you can't edit your own body," Sofia said as vines grew from her finger.
The vines grew small thorns pierced my skin and then went into my face, but there was no pain, only awareness.
Suddenly, there was a change in my body, and I instantly felt more robust and resilient.
[Adaptive Evolution Weapons and Armor Activated.]
"There, Papi. That should give you much more advantage in the fights. I am going to start working on some flying creatures for doing recon to find more villains," Sofia explained, and I nodded as her vines retracted.
I reach down and pick up the white cat rubbing against my legs, and Melody transformed in my arms. She had a funny-looking cat-like face with white ears and a swishing tail.
"I love you; never change," I said to Melody and kissed her, which was weird since she had a split top lip.
"But there are so many other things I could turn into!" Melody complained, and I laughed.
"Not that, your personality, silly, but this is really cute. I wonder what would happen if I rubbed the base of your tail?" I asked a girl.
"I would make an even louder horny cat sound, Nya~! All the other cats would join me as we made love to my alley cat cries, Nya~!" Melody meowed, and I kissed her a bunch more times, making her giggle and purr simultaneously.
"You two are adorable," Sofia laughed, and Melody changed back to a cat but grew strange goggles and hopped out of my arms.
"Can you give me a long pink cape, Nya~?" Melody meowed at Amy, and she dropped down to hug and rub her face on Melody.
"Yes, I can do that for you," Amy laughed and then did as Melody asked, making her a four-foot cape.
Then something strange happened.
Melody froze in a weird turned pose, looking back at the cape. I wasn't sure what the hell was going on until she spoke, then I died.
"Oh man, Nya~! Ummm, what was I… did it move on its own, Nya~?! IT'S CHASING ME, NYA~!!"
Melody had lost all her marbles, and now she was running from the cape that was firmly fixed on her. I guess her cat brain had taken over, but that was only the second time she had transformed.
Still, the four of us were rolling around in the grass, dying of laughter. Melody was finally scooped up by a tree, and then so was my group of laughing idiots and me.
All five of us were hucked back up to the top of the tree I had been before, and we flew in the air together. I could finally see why Melody had chosen her outfit, and I was still laughing when I hit the water with the girls.
Gaia and Firaga were at the far edge of the pool, but she knew we were coming; she could feel my intent.
Melody can change back into a cat girl, ripping the cap off in frustration. I found it hard to even tell her apart from her natural body at this point since my Growth Spurt.
The other girls were much the same, but I wouldn't be having sex with clones any time soon. Still, the idea of two of the same girl at once sounded kind of fun.
"You are thinking perverted thoughts, aren't you?" Marley asked me, and I nodded.
"Yup," I said with no shame, and she rolled her eyes, but the other girls laughed.
"I could tell from your shit eaters grin," Marley grinned, and I shrugged.
"Don't ask questions that you're not ready to hear the answer for!" I countered, and she nodded.
"Fair point, unless you are thinking of trying to take my twin and me here at the same time? I might be game for that sometimes if you want to play like last time?" Marley asked with a sexy smile that reminded me of the fighting before.
"Now that sounds like some real fun! Let's make a date out of it some time," I smiled, and Marley nodded.
"You two are weirdos, Nya~," Melody meowed and then licked her soft paw-like hands and brushed her hair back while everyone stared at her in bewilderment.
"Isn't that like the cat calling a twat a pussy?" Sofia asked, and I laughed.
"You are all very strange," Firaga said from beside Gaia, and Earth Spirit nodded.
"Yes, very, but you get used to them. I am old like you, but I still learn new things daily. Don't rush things, just take your time," Gaia said, and Firaga nodded.
"New girl! Are you gonna do it with Daniel, Nya~?! You already have a system, right? What will happen if you get another one, Nya~?!" Melody meowed as she waded over.
"Do what?" Firaga asked.
"Umm, you know, let him between your legs, Nya~? Have sex?" Melody asked.
"Not your concern," Firaga said, and Melody blinked.
"Why not, Nya~?" Melody asked in confusion.
"If I were to choose to deflower myself with him, I would not talk about it to you nor ask you. Mind your own business, cat," Firaga said flatly, and I think Melody popped a circuit, and not in a good way.
"What did you just say about my boyfriend?" Melody growled and hissed as she started to change into a big cat, and I started wading over.
