Arthur’s POV:
This was the last day. I was one of the remaining contestants and I have to say, I’m doing pretty good as a cartoon husky. I always believed that I was going to be the first one to be eliminated. I guess I was wrong since I’m still here. Right now, I camped in a hole that I found during my walk yesterday. Lucky that no one else found it besides me. But not so lucky that all I have right now is a blueberry gas bomb. No idea what to do with it besides to use it on someone.

A few minutes later, I realized that there were instructions on the blueberry bomb that I had. It turns out that it can be a trap for someone to step in, like a landmine. First, I had to dig a hole, deep enough so no one could see it. Then after making that hole, I carefully planted the bomb like a seed that’s about to grow into a plant. Heh, if only I brought water with me, I could make a blueberry bomb tree. So now that was done, all I had to do was to wait for someone to step on it and watch them burst with blueberry juice. So I hide behind some bushes and watch as someone will walk to their doom.

Minutes went by and no one was in sight to be seen. I started to believe that I was the last person alive in this competition. If not, then this must be the largest area that I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t going to doubt but I feel like it was a terrible idea to just be a sitting duck. From all the explosions and bursts I’ve heard from the last two days, there have to be at least five or six people left in the forest. So out of boredom, I decided to just leave my spot and keep walking until I found something interesting. I’ll probably know when someone sets off my trap by a loud juicy burst.

Along my way, I couldn’t find any other contestants to pop. Just trees, rocks, sounds of birds, and even the wind whistling. It was like the wild west, just empty and a ghost town, except that it’s more of a ghost forest than a town. Then something right in front of me shined in my face. It was a shiny quarter, just laying in the grass for no reason whatsoever. Still, I wanted that quarter so I bent down to grab it. At the same time, I felt the sharp pain of a needle poking me in the butt. “OW!” I let out, pulling out this strange dart that both scared and puzzled me.

“Looks like someone couldn’t handle the old quarter trick.” Someone behind me said, teasing me. I turned around, looking at a talking platypus in the tree. It was Perry the freakin talking platypus with a dart gun in his hands. “Funny how a cartoon mutt gets himself in danger every single time.” He began to reload his dart gun with a second dart. I gulped, not ready to be shot with a second dart. “Relax, one dart should do the trick.”

“W-what did it do?” I asked, still scared out of my mind.

“Something that you did once in your show.” That didn’t help at all, he’s done so many things from gaining weight to becoming a blimp. But once he smelt something very familiar, that’s when he realized that he’s doomed. The smell of blueberries clouded his nose, making it the only thing he could smell. “That’s right Arthur, you’re about to become a nice juicy fruit.” He chuckles, hopping down from the tree. “You may not see it, but your nose is already blue.”

I gasped, trying to wipe the blue off my nose as if it was face paint. “Ahh! Not now! I had a big surprise!” I could finally see the blue from my snout, spreading all over my body, watching my hands turn from the shade of grey to dark blue. Whining in cowardness, I put my hands on my body as I knew what was going to happen next. My belly growls angry and it starts bloating. “Oh boy, here I got.” My body swells up into a heavy bottom shape as my butt and hips widen out like a very thick husky.

“Heh, you’ll make a nice model with that body.” Perry bullies me, using those hands of his to slap my belly as it sloshes.

“Stop that!” I said, very embarrassed by this. “Please! I’m getting too fat!”

“Are you kidding? I’ve seen your shows. This is not even close to you getting too fat.” Becoming too shy about this, I tried to run away.


But I only got about a few steps before my fat thighs were too stiff to even move another inch and forced my whole body to flop on the ground like a helpless water balloon. “Ahhhh! I’m stuck!” I waved my arms around until they were getting stiff too as they filled up with juice.

“Good, that’s how I want you.” Perry goes on my side rolling me onto my back. “Now don’t hesitate while your clothes rip.”

I whine again as I know that was going to happen. “Not my expensive clothes.” And just like that, the buttons on my shirt popped and flew around the area. The belt on my pants snapped in half and Perry had the nerve to jump on my body that was turning into a round ball, exploding my tight pants and shirt. I was now doomed in my underwear, round, my arms and legs sinking in, and the chance that I was going to explode. “I beg you! I’m gonna….burst!”

“Well, that’s what the game is about, Arthur. You got to learn how to survive, unlike the others.” Then he hops off of my now tight body and stands as far as he can away from me. “But hey, it was fun playing with your swelling body. Hope we can do it again sometime.

“Mmph!” I muffled since my jaw was sunk into my body. “Mmph!” All I could do right now was flapping my bloated paws and waiting until I was ready to pop. It was hurting right where my navel was at and I just couldn’t take the pressure. “MMMMMPPPPHHHH!” I let out a last cried muffle before my body finally burst with juice, spilling all over the place. I saw Perry leaving my burst body before I teleported to this strange hospital. I saw the other contestants with their burst bellies, all bandaged up pretty good. At least I lived.


Perry’s POV:

Now that was a sight to see. I’ve been doing pretty good surviving and I have to thank my job for that. It’s strange that they chose me and two other OWCA agents to be in this competition. I never knew that someone would love to see me big and bloated, although I’ve been through that once or twice. I’ll never forget the inflate-inator, the one that probably got me here. With my blueberry dart gun, I was ready to hunt down another unfortunate contestant. I’m not sure who’s left but I know that they wouldn’t be expecting me.

Or as I assumed before I accidentally stepped on something from the ground. As soon as I lifted my webbed foot from whatever was underneath it, a blast of blue gas filled up the area around me. I cough, fanning the gas away from me like Shawn and his burrito-like farts during lunch. That dog needs to eat something healthy. After the smoke had cleared up, I investigated what caused gas to explode around me. Below me was the source of the gas and I picked it up. There was wording on a label and the more I read it, the faster my heart went. It was a blueberry bomb. In shock, my mind went through so many things. The most terrifying thing of all was that I witnessed my hand turning into a dark shade of blue. With a gasp, I dropped the empty gas bomb and watched my arms and body turn fully blue. “Uh oh….. ” I said before I started to feel bloated in my belly.

“Nnrgh! I don’t feel very good.” My belly bloated outwards with the sounds of sloshing inside. I almost lost my balance when my butt swelled up into watermelons. “My body is growing! So...this is what it feels like?” I asked myself, rubbing my big body and hearing it jiggle around. Arthur did say something about a big surprise. I just never knew that he had the same idea as me. With my body getting rounder and rounder, I had no movement left and my legs were too stiff to walk. My arms were also too stiff and I had no choice but to let them lay on my swollen sides. I look around to see no one making fun of my blueberry body. “Mmff.” I said in a calming state of tone. At least I won’t be embarrassed by it. As my limbs began to sink in, I was getting tighter than a drum. It was even hurting to the point where I groaned in pain. I couldn’t see it but I know that my belly was red, getting to my bursting limit. With one last moan, my belly ripped wide open and the blueberry juice splashed everywhere.

After that happened, I was sent to this strange hospital with the robots bandaging my belly. I heard the other guys who were popped groaned and whined. All I can say is that it was karma for bursting that husky.

Tom’s POV:

It’s been three days and I haven’t seen anyone attack me yet. Although the multiple bursts and pops I’ve heard, I keep on looking behind me as if someone was going to pop me. If Jerry was ever in this game, he would have been the first to go. Sucks that he wasn’t here. In the forest, I had a choice. Right in front of me was a lake, a huge one. There were no boats around and from the other side, I saw a cabin. My choice was to either swim across to the other side or just go around it. For all I know I’m not the last person standing in this game and they could have a chance to pop me. I know people would be thinking that cats can’t swim but guess what? I passed my swimming test a year ago and I can swim just fine. Looking in the water, I find nothing big or scary that could eat me or do whatever it can do to take me out of this competition.

I put my foot in the water, a bit chilly if you ask me. I put my other foot in and I started walking to the deep. Once I couldn’t touch the ground anymore, I used my arms to swim. It was an easy swim and I’m not eaten yet. I assumed that this lake was here just because it looked cool. Even though I couldn’t talk, I whistled like a singing bird. Making it in the middle of the lake, I decided that it was useless to do this quickly and just lay back and relax. Laying on my back, I took calm deep breaths and just dream of taking down Jerry. That mouse always gets away with everything that I do. But as I was going to rest my eyes, I heard someone shouting from my right. I rolled back, now kicking in the water and lifting my head to see who was screaming.

Taking a closer look and squinting my eyes, I could make out this large fox with a ton of tails. “Get out of the water cat!” He shouts. “It’s not safe!”

For whatever reason he had, I wasn’t going to trust him. He was someone that I had to fight even I did get out of the lake. And by what he was saying, he’s not coming in to get me. I stuck out my tongue at him and kept on swimming in circles, forgetting what my goal was.

“You idiot! That’s the bloating water!” He shouts again and this time I paid attention. “Get out!” Looking down at my body, I didn’t see anything happening to me so I assumed that he was just tricking me. Then the second I looked up at him, he shouts, “I tried to warn you!” After that, he leaves. I’m glad he left, I wasn’t going to risk being popped by a giant fox. But yet, I felt something weird happening to me. It was like I felt heavy than before, and I’m a light feline. It was like I was carrying an anchor that was attached to my leg. My swimming was getting slower too. Looking back at my body, I could see why. My entire body was growing in fat. It looked like I ate so much food and gained weight. Panicking, I tried my best to swim out of the lake. It was hard to swim faster than when I first got in and I was huffing so loudly. My belly got bigger and rounder with body rolls on the sides. My arms and legs were too slow to move fast enough with the fat covering my muscles. Even my face was all bloated and round. I couldn’t move my neck to look around. The strange thing about this was that even if I was heavy, I wasn’t sinking. I was floating in the water like a flotation device. Once I couldn’t make it to the shore with my fat limbs, I was stuck in the water. I floated around and whined as I got bigger and bigger. I wanted this to stop, but it doesn’t.

A minute later, I was a beached whale and I was feeling too big and taut. My belly creaks and I felt the pain of my body ripping and tearing like an overstuffed plushie. I let out a cried meow as a sign that I should have listened to the fox. With the loudest creak I ever heard, I exploded and water splashed out of me like a popped water balloon. It was at that moment I teleported someone strange place where I was being healed by these robots. I just hope Jerry wasn’t here to see this or he’ll never let it down. Or worse, encourage it.


Soda’s POV:

“It looks like we have our final three contests in the game.” The announcer from the start of the game said from a speaker hidden in a tree. “You three will be meeting in the open field for the final battle.” I guess this was it. All of this time surviving, popping the fat wolf, and hearing the fates of other people’s demises, I knew that I could do this. So I set my destination onto the big field where it was a huge open space. I saw the other two remaining survivors, a rabbit wear clothes and a giant white and black kitsune. At that moment I knew that it was going to be an easy battle, with me as a soda goop. I can just stuff the two up with soda and watch their bellies pop. As we got closer, I could notice the kitsune was determined to win while the rabbit was looking nervous.

“Hey guys, long time huh?” The rabbit said, shaking a bit. He wasn’t holding anything in his hands so I assumed that he was easy to defeat.

The kitsune raised his eyebrow at him and them at me. “So…...you’re made of soda?” He asks as if he was doubting what my body was made of.

“Of course, what else do you think I am?” I asked him back.

“Slime.” He said with a joking tone. “Plus, I’ve drunk tons of soda in one go before. I bet I can drink you all up.” Now that sounded like a challenge to me.

“Alright survivors, time for the final battle. Ready…….” Horns blared into the sky and the three of us started getting what we got from our bags and used them. All I had was an air pump which was useless in the first place. The rabbit just runs around in a circle, thinking that I nor the kitsune could catch him. As for the kitsune, he too doesn’t have any supplies and relies on whatever he can do to pop the both of us. So without using any items, we went mano to mano, The kitsune tried to pounce on me like a wild animal hunting his prey and I dodge that by sliding around. As I got behind him, I used my arm to lasso him and pin him to the floor.

“Oof!” He lets out as he tried to struggle out of my grip. “Let...me….go!”

“As if.” Now with the kitsune down, I can finally end this game. But before I could start with him, I used my other arm to grab the rabbit and pin him down too, then dragging him right next to Mystery. “Ha! I win boys! Now mutt, let’s see if you can handle it.” I shot my arms into their mouths and heard them chugging up the soda. I made sure their gulps were loud and helpless to get out of. I watched as their bellies swelled up and bloat. That’s what I call killing two birds with one stone. “To be honest, I wish I was allowed not to pop you so I could rub your bellies.” The kitsune muffles in anger, trying to use his paws to get the goop out of his maw. Their bellies were the size of basketballs and it wasn’t going to end soon, I still had a long way to go.

Distracted by looking at the kitsune and his round gut, I didn’t keep my eye on the rabbit. “Mmmf!” I heard him muffle before looking over to what he was doing. He was holding something in his hand and shoved it right into my belly.

“What the!?” I said, letting them free and focusing on myself. “What….?” While they coughed, I felt my belly rumbling and growling. “What’s happening?”

The rabbit stopped coughing and said, “Something that I learned back then.”

So I took a good close look at what was inside and I was stunned. A whole package of mentos, opened and fizzing, was floating around. “No! It...can’t be!” By the time I understand what he did to me, my belly inflated. “Argh!” I let out as I wasn’t expecting the rapid expansion. I didn’t even have time to try to get mentos out. “I’m blowing up! Help!”


“Yeah right. It’ll be stupid of us to do that.” Mystery said as he finished his coughing. The two smiled and watched me getting bigger and bigger. My belly was just as big as theirs, but it kept on growing more. I tried my best to get them again and pop them before I could.

“Oh no, you don’t!” The rabbit pushes me onto my back. I kicked my legs and whined.

“N-n-no! Not like this…….AAGGH!” I let out, now the size of a giant elephant. The mentos in my belly didn’t vanish yet and at that point, I knew it was going to be the end for me. “I…..must…...NOOOOOOOOOOO!” With a loud splash, I popped and turned into a giant puddle. Then I teleported somewhere strange. These robots put me in a jar and sealed it shut before I was transported to a machine. In there, I began to reform back to my goop-like body. I just couldn’t believe I got popped by a fox and a rabbit.
______________________________________________________________________________

Now only two stand in the field. Both with their big jiggling bellies that slosh around. “BRRRRRAAAP! That was a close one.” Roger said, rubbing his basketball-like gut.

“You...BRRRRRAAAAP….said it.” The two had crazy belches with the carbonation in their stomachs. “Good thing we didn’t eat any or we could have joined him.” Mystery said before he sighs, sitting on his butt while patting his gut. “So I guess I should say thank you.”

“No problem, but……” Roger looks around, seeing no one except them. “I think we’re supposed to fight each other.”

“Awwww, but I don’t want to.” He said, laying on his back like a dog. “I was starting to like you.”

Roger goes over to Mystery and flops on his belly. “Yeah, me too. I don’t want to pop you.” He said with sadness. So he rubs the kitsune’s potbelly, making him huff with joy.

“Mmmm, that feels good.” Mystery said, satisfied with the belly rubs. “Now I don’t want to pop you.”

This made Roger chuckle. “Me neither.” So the two had just made a deal that they will not inflate and pop each other.

It felt like a win right here, now that there was no one else to pop. Then the speakers turned on. “So? It seems like our two final contestants refuse to win the game.” He said with a disappointed sigh. “But don’t worry, I can fix that right away.” The two were a bit worried about what this man was planning. That’s when they heard buzzing sounds from the sky and saw these two drones out of nowhere.

“What is that?” Mystery asked, now getting up.

“Drones?” Roger answered with confusion.

“That’s right. If you two won’t pop each other, I guess we have to pop the both of you.” He laughs at the end before the two drones shot some strange laser at them.

“Ach!” Roger lets out as Mystery yips like a canine being kicked. “What did you do to us!?”

“Oh, just something you should regret soon.” He laughs as the two heard hissing coming from their bellies.

“What’s going on?” Roger asks as they begin to blow up. “Ahh! My belly is swelling up!” He said with fear, watching his belly grow with air.

“Mine too!” Mystery said, also putting his paws on his belly. He pokes his belly to find out that it was filling up with air. “What did you do to us!?”

“It’s called an inflation ray. It was supposed to be used for when day three was up, but looks like I’m doing it early.” Mystery whines, now his belly touching the ground and his paws in the air. “It’ll reach to your limits until you both pop.”

“That’s cheating!” Mystery calls out, grunting from his big balloon belly.

“Not if you didn’t cheat first.” The host then turns off the speakers. The two kept growing and growing, their arms and legs puffing up like balloons and sinking into their round bodies.

“Nrrggh!” Mystery could feel the tightness happening pretty soon. “It won’t stop!”

“We’re gonna pop!” Roger added to the panicking between the two giant blimps. They couldn’t move anything besides their eyes. All they could see was the walls closing on them as their heads sank in more and more. “Mmmmfhh!” Roger muffles

“MMMMFHHH!” Mystery muffles along. Their bodies creak more and more, reaching to their limits. Then with a long loud creak…...nothing happens and the swelling stops. “Mmfh?” Mystery questions, wondering why he’s not popping.

Roger didn’t pop either but was stuck as a giant orb. It was strange, even the host was shocked by this. “What!? But how!?” He wasn’t expecting them to survive that laser. “I can’t believe it! Our two sole survivors on this game have survived the laser. They’re the luckiest inflatees we’ve ever had!” The two could hear the host going through some book, the pages flipping quickly. “According to the rules, whoever survives the inflation laser automatically wins the game. So we have our two winners, Mystery and Roger!”

“Mmff!” The two muffled with excitement.

“The exit will be up ahead where you started. Good luck getting them as orbs.” The host said before the speakers were turned off one last time.

Lucky for Roger, he can deflate his body because he’s a cartoon. But Mystery on the hand couldn’t do anything but to wait for something to happen. Roger went back to his small skinny body. Even the soda he chugged was gone. He looks at Mystery who was a giant orb to the rabbit. “Hmm, I’m not sure if I will deflate you back but I can try.” He pokes Mystery’s body, only for the kitsune to yelp and whine. “Oh, sorry. Forgot that your body is taut right now. Hmmm…..” He needed a plan to save his friend’s life from being a couple of scraps. “What if I…..” He starts rolling Mystery carefully over to a tree. His plan was to push Mystery until some of the air was released out of his body. The tree looked strong enough to take on a round kitsune. “Here goes nothing…..” Roger pushes onto Mystery’s body while the poor kitsune’s cheeks blew up and his face turned red from too much pressure. He finally opened his mouth and the air was flowing out. The kitsune’s body deflated for some time, his limbs and head were back again from the surface of his round balloon body. Then the air stopped midway and Mystery was still immobile. At least he wasn’t going to burst. “There you go. I think.”

Mystery flaps his legs and turns his head around. “I’m still a balloon, rabbit. Can you keep going?” He did his best to touch the ground with his legs but they were too high to even reach the bottom.

“I think this is all I can do for now, but I have something at my place I can use to help.” Roger said happily, still having some hope to fix his friend. “But hey, you do look good as a round fox. Ever been a giant yoga ball before?”

“No…..” Mystery blushes. “Why?”

“No reason. Anyway, let me roll you out, you big boy.” Roger laughs at his own joke as Mystery just grew even more embarrassed. Roger pushes his friend like a giant beach ball, still being careful in case there were any sharp objects that could pop Mystery. “My name is Roger by the way, what's yours?”

“Mystery. Thank you for helping me out.” He was feeling a little dizzy from his entire body being rolled like a ball, bad that he ate a big lunch before being sent here.

“It’s what friends are for. Since we won the game, want to celebrate with pizza?” The rabbit offers.

“Oh yes, please!” Mystery loves eating food. He could eat an entire stack in just seconds. “Also, what happened to the others?”
______________________________________________________________________________

Meanwhile, all of the contestants that were popped and fixed up were leaving the hospital. All of them had bandages on their bellies, some groaning while others were thankful that they were alive. “I can’t wait to sue them for this.” Arthur said with an angry tone.

“We all are.” Soda agrees with him. “I was so close to winning anyway.”

“Who cares if we have lost, we’re free!” Bendy cheers as if it was victory that he popped.

“Finally, I really hated that place.” Perry says with Percy and Bowser by his side. “To think that we had to inflate each other to pop.”

“Let’s just get out of here before we get teleported again.” Jacob starts walking faster, worried that they’ll be back again in the arena. All of them agreed with him and every single fur was running for their lives. But was it really over or will something happen to them all?
