A beautiful sunrise emerges from the horizon. Birds chirping, leaves blowing and overall, a pleasant morning. There was only one small matter, the LOUD police sirens echoing the streets as they chased down a particular crook.

Several police cars and vans furiously chased down the criminal who had stolen a large amount of expensive jewellery in the process. The criminals in question were “Alex lionheart” and “Stripes,” his zebra adversary.

They were two of the most notorious crooks in the city and had the highest criminal record in California (Well, second highest). “All units, make sure our crooks don’t leave the city. AND WHERE IS MY TOP GUY” The police chief screamed into the microphone.

Alex: “Hahaha, we’re rich”
Stripes: “Yeah man, with this many cash. We’ll be crackalackin in no time.”
Alex: “No more African prisons for us”

They were nearing the border and the police were not even close on their trail. But before they could leave the city, the entire road was blocked off with wires and police cars. They couldn’t possibly make it, so they made a sharp turn right to avoid the police and the race was on.

Alex: “Ah crud, which was our only exit. What are we gonna do now?!”
Stripes: “I dunno man, I’m checkin the GPS and all I get is locations to fat burger”
Alex: “What do you MEAN all you’re getting is fat burger?!”
Stripes: “I’m sayin I can’t change the location to anything else ya dingus!”
Alex: “I’M NOT A…Whatever fine we can hide in the abandoned subway station. Doubt anyone will find us there.”

The two bandits rush through the traffic and find themselves near the old subway transit. The police cars seemingly stop chasing them for some reason, perhaps knowing they themselves can’t enter the station.

After crashing through the locked doors, they drive down the railway station to flee the cops. They succeed as they land themselves underground unable for any cars to get in or out.

Stripes: “Haha, that trip was crackalakin”
Alex: “I know, let's check the car and see nothing had fallen out”

Stripes and Alex struggle to get out of the car given the tight walls. Alex climbed over to see if the engine was still intact, while stripes checked the caboose to make sure all the money was still there.

As he opens the boot, a myriad of priceless gems and artifacts flood the entire back. Their score was immense as it trumped every other theft case on record. Just as Alex had fixed the engine, a faint hissing sound was made.

Believed to be a popped tire, Alex checked the bottom of the car. But it turns out the tires were perfectly fine, and yet the hissing sound continued. “Uh stripes, you are sure this place was abandoned?” worryingly said Alex.

Stripes: “Yeah this place was super untouched, only a few minor crooks come here to hide from the Popo”
Alex: Well, are you sure that no one is here?”
Stripes: “Well I believe there were these guys a while back. But nobody’s heard from them in years’”.

“Is that so?” a mysterious voice echoes through the tunnel. “WHO'S THAT, SHOW YOURSELF!!!” Alex yelled. In the mists of the shadows, a devious wolf in white clothing emerges in view.

Stripes: “Hey, you’re that Mr Wolf guy, aren’t you?”
Mr Wolf: “The very same, and you two are Stripes and Lionheart, I’ve heard great things about you two”
Stripes: “Oh man I have always wanted to meet you in person. What’s your biggest heist, how long have you been a criminal, can you sign my gun.”
Mr Wolf: “Please, hold your applause till the end of the show.”
Alex: “What are you doing down here?”
Me Wolf: “Y’know just hangin down here nothin special. Say let me see what you’ve guys scored.”

Mr Wolf climbs over the car and opens the caboose to reveal the expensive jewellery. “Say you guys got some Big-ticket items” he says while inconspicuously stealing a necklace without them knowing.

Stripes: “Wow you’re so cool”
Alex: “Yes, cool. Well then Mr Wolf, if you’re so great, how do we get out of this mess?”
Wolf: “Well you see that’s the funny thing”

Bright flashing lights and police officers surround their perimeter. To which Wolf replies with “You don’t” This was an elaborate setup to capture and contain the notorious criminals. Mr Wolf acted more as an undercover cop with the intent to capture the crooks.

Alex: “YOU SET US UP!!!”
Stripes: “I trusted you, I believed in you”
Wolf: “Well from my experiences, sometimes the person who seems the most trustworthy is actually a lying rat. Take em away guys.”

As the crooks are being driven away to prison, The police chief walks up to Mr Wolf to congratulate him.

Chief Luggins: “Ya did good Mr Wolf”
Mr Wolf: “Ah don’t mention it, Y’know this whole good guy thing really is uh” He stopped to look at the chief’s weird expression “Why do you have your hand out like that”
Chief Luggins: “The gems you confiscated, give em back”
Mr Wolf: “Hey don’t give me that look, I’m not like those guys anymore. So, we can all just chillax and…”

The chief's intimidating glare looked deep into his soul. And with a disgruntled sigh, Mr Wolf handed over the gems in his pocket. However, since the suit he wore was the same one he used when committing crimes. The suit had a few “secret compartments” unseen to the naked eye.

But the chief is happy with Mr Wolf giving her the gems. And the crew exits the subway station while Mr Wolf heads back to his private apartment. Driving up the elevator reveals his own private penthouse.

What once was a makeshift home and money vault. Now it has turned into a small detective complex. On the walls, there are police investigations, criminal posters, and a large open map of the city.

Mr Wolf grabbed a marker and drew a large X on Stripes and Lionheart. Afterwards he made his way to the kitchen to grab a light snack. On the fridge was a small piece of paper with a message from his best friend Mr Snake.

“Hey buddy, sorry me and the other guys couldn’t make the case. Diane had brought us to the museum to watch over surveillance. We’ll make sure to come back home tonight (P.S. Don’t touch Mr Sharks food in the fridge)”

It was a loving note that was undermined by the crude writing and cursing. To which Mr Wolf snakingly replied, “For a guy with one arm you sure do try your darndest to write.” He put the note back on the fridge and opened the door.

Immediately the fridge was chocked full of sweet and savory goodies that would give any other mammal a heart attack. “I think I’m going to order take out instead,” said the starving Mr Wolf. He then walked over to his bedroom and stood right in front of his mirror.

Alongside the Hollywood style light bulbs, A few pictures stuck to the mirror. One was a picture of all his friends driving away from the chief (This was when they were known as “The bad guys”).

Another one was Mr wolf shaking hands with the police chief as he was elected to join the team. However, the Chief’s grip was firm and tight, and Mr Wolf kept a straight face whilst internally screaming in pain.

But the last ones were his most treasured photos. On them showed the many dates he went on with his girlfriend Diane Foxington. Being the one to turn him over to the good side, Mr Wolf had an irresistible affection towards her.

Tomorrow was also their anniversary for their first date, and Mr Wolf wanted to surprise her with something special. Tucked away in one of his hidden pockets, Mr Wolf took out a beautiful gemstone necklace.

It was a stunning gold chain necklace with a large ruby that had a hippo engraving carved into it. The date wasn’t until tomorrow morning, so Mr Wolf jokingly put the necklace on himself and started doing a few beauties poses in the mirror.

While that was happening, the gem started to glow, but Mr Wolf was none the wiser. Out of nowhere his hunger was now doubled, tripled what it was once he first came home. His takeaway wasn’t getting here any time soon, so he had to make do with what was in the fridge.

Walking over to the fridge, he started to feel a faint tickling sensation creep up in his body. The feeling was strange, but his hunger outshined any worries he would have had. As he opened the fridge, the first thing to stand out was a large roll of cheese.

Using his claw, he cut out a small piece and threw it into his mouth. The taste was surprisingly potent from what he expected, but it wasn’t enough. He then took a slightly larger piece out and threw it into his mouth.

The taste was emphatic and unlike any cheese he had eaten before. Out of pure hunger, he grabbed a full handful of cheese and shoved it in his mouth. It was incredible, he couldn’t stop eating. It was like he was an elephant or something.

In his lust filled hunger, Mr Wolf grabbed the whole wheel of cheese and started taking huge chomps out of the block. Stuffing the rest of the wheel down his throat, it simply wasn’t enough for his alarming appetite.

So, he grabbed a large wedding sized cake from the fridge and devoured it without a second thought. What was happening was the gem on his necklace started to change Mr Wolf’s biology over time.

He felt like fur was being reduced to a thick greyish/ purplish skin type. His maw was now becoming blockier, and his nostrils were becoming more spiral. But easily the biggest change was most evident in his weight.

Mr wolf had gained 1000 kg in 10 minutes and simply wasn’t stopping. The excess weight caused his clothes to spread and seem to the high heavens. Tear marks were starting to show up frequently and his tailor-made suit showed more holes than a tennis ball racket.

While this was all going on, Mr Wolf was unaware of the situation at hand. As he continued to devour everything in sight. Just as he was about to start on the multiple frozen pizzas “RRRRRIIIIIPPPP!!!!!!”

His entire suit bursts from his body as what remains was his incredibly stretchy underwear covered in hearts. With him now being almost naked, Mr Wolf finally noticed the transformation. “What happened to me?” He said aloud; however, his voice was completely different.

His voice changed to a more southern woman tone which was a lot more feminine. He rushed towards his room to get a better look at his new body. Standing in front of the mirror was a large hippo gal with spiralling nostrils.

His skin was thick yet soft to the touch, tiny ears on the top of his head. And his weight was around 2000-3000 kg (or 6600 pounds) and nearly outmatched Mr Sharks weight. But there was one thing screaming in the back of his head.

“If I sound like a woman, does that mean…” He opened his underwear, and his worries were proven true, He was indeed a woman. In his dilution of chaos, he found out that it was the necklace that transformed him into this hippo gal.

“Oh man, thank goodness I didn’t give this to Diane. Although it wouldn’t hurt for her to have a little meat on her bones. Wait WHAT AM I SAYING!?” The necklace not only transformed his body, but it also rewired his mind too.

Turning around, he found why his underwear was giving him such a wedgie. His new large posterior wedged firmly into his pants. And for whatever reason, he found it strangely attractive. A few minor shakes and a small SLAP to his cheeks.

It seems that he likes his new transformation, plus he didn’t seem out of place given his world is filled with human and animal people. “Man, my body is glorious. Hey, Gloria, that’s a good name to use” he said as his worried woes turned to playful banter.

“Oh yeah, work it girl. You got some chunk in your trunk.” He said to himself, completely unaware of his friends spying through the corner of the door. Watching their once devious partner turned into a fashionably large hippopotamus.
