‘Oh god it’s coming. I can feel it.’ Lina Inverse thought, already on edge as she swore she could hear the horrible noise slowly approach her in the distance. She had tried her best to lose the detestable creature in the woods, and when that failed, by the sharp mountains. But it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, that the she was doomed to hear that terrifying sound booming in her ears.

	She put her hands over her ears, clenching her teeth, as she prepared herself for the worst. The sound grew closer, its high pitched, cackling laughter echoing throughout the valley floor. Stepping out of the forest, a tall, well endowed woman appeared. Her long dark hair flowed behind her, moving in rhythm with her outrageously wide sashaying hips. The woman’s clothes, or almost lack thereof, was like mere strings on her full body, riding up the crack of her bottom and barely containing her full heaving chest. 

	It was as Lina feared, Naga the Serpent had finally caught up with her.

	“OH HO HO HO! Why if it isn’t Lina Inverse. It is such a coincidence meeting you here!”

	Lina felt her already short fuse get infinitely shorter. “Coincidence?! You’ve been following me around this entire freaking time!”

	Naga raised her eyebrow. “Whatever do you mean? I just happened to run into you.”

	“Oh, just like you happened to run into me at the inn two nights ago, or when you happened to run into me when you barged in when I was taking a bath two weeks ago, or when you happened to fall on top of me when we were fighting that mud monster a month ago.”

	“Hey, I was only trying to dodge his attacks, besides, I was the one who suffered the most there. Who knew that falling on top of you hurt so much, you have so many sharp angles on your tiny body.”

	Lina felt herself grinding her teeth, trying her best not to blow up the annoying woman into a million tiny pieces.

	“So,” continued Naga, ignoring the girl’s rising temper, “what are we doing out here anyway?”

	“Well I’m looking for a dragon. There is a report of a cave nearby so I’m heading there.”

	“A dragon? Why on earth are you looking for a dragon Lina?”

	“Because the majority of dragons have gold? You know, so valuable it gets you out of soul crushing debt gold? Haven’t you read anything? Over ninety percent of stories on dragons involve them sitting on a huge pile of gold.”

	Naga flipped her hair, showing that she was not that interested. “A genius like me doesn’t need to read.”

	“Yeah, I can tell. Look I don’t care if you tag along. Again. But please, try not to mess things up.”

	Looking up, Lina called out ‘Levitation!’, bathing herself in a blue glow, instantly taking off from the ground. She rose above the trees, looking ahead, seeing the path to the cave far off in front of her. She was about to continue to fly forward, when she looked back, noticing Naga was not next to her. Floating back down to the earth, Naga was still in the same spot, a large smile on her face.

	“Why aren’t you casting your flying spell Naga?” Lina asked, growing annoyed at her ‘new’ partner.

	“I’m glad you asked Lina. Unlike you, I have actually being training, furthering cementing myself as the greatest sorcerer on earth!”

	“And?” Lina asked, preparing herself for the worst.

	“While you just fly around with that boring old spell, I have come up with a new, more effective way of flying! I just added a fire spell to the levitation spell, now not only can I fly, but it adds offensive capabilities to it as well!”

	Lina knew where this was going, but decided to let Naga continue.

	“I can see on your face Lina that you don’t believe me. Well lucky for you that I’m generous enough to provide a demonstration. Here stand back, I’ll show you the power of a first class spell castor!”

	As per instructed, Lina gave Naga room, watching as the woman put her hands on her hips, striking a pose.

	“FLAME ON!”

	Instantly her entire body was covered in scorching flames, the heat so intense it singed the tips of Lina’s hair.

	“Arrrrgggh! It buuuuuurns! Ow owowowowowowow!” screamed Naga, as she ran around in circles, her arms waving blindly as she tried futilely to put out the fire.

	Lina sighed, casually casting a water spell to douse her immolating partner.

	“It’s going to be one of those days isn’t it?”

________________________________

	As they traveled deeper into the cave, Naga noticed that everything was eerily quiet.

	“Hey Lina, where are all the bats?” she whispered.

	“Dragons have tendency to eat them, so they don’t really stick around.” she said. “Which is good for us, that means there is definitely a dragon in here. Look.” She pointed to the sides of the cave walls. “Burn and claw marks, classic evidence of a dragon burrowing deeper into the cave so they can make a nest. We must be really close now.”

	As they walked, they began to see random gold coins scattered on the floor. Naga bent to pick up as many as she could, but Lina did not bother. She knew the mother load was nearby. And true to her senses, as they rounded a corner, they came upon the dragon itself.

	It was enormous. Even if it was not laying on it’s huge pile of treasure, it would still be close to touching the roof of the cave, it’s black scales reflecting the yellow of the gold it slept on. It took up their entire view, a magnificent reptilian specimen, which twitched as it fitfully slumbered, most likely dreaming of terrorizing local villagers.

	“Wow Lina, look at all that gold.” said a awestruck Naga.

	Lina nodded. “Yup, and it’s all mine.”

	“Hey!”

	“Okay fine. You can have like, ten percent. Look, we just need to find a way to get that dragon off of it now.”

	Lina rubbed her chin. ‘I could just Giga Slave it. But that would just melt the gold. Not that it would matter, gold is still gold, even as a melted chunk. The only problem then would be trying to carry it all in one piece. Maybe I should freeze the dragon and …’

	“Why don’t I just teleport it Lina?” said Naga, interrupting her brainstorming.

	“What are you babbling about now Naga?”

	“Teleport. As in the dragon you silly girl. It’s just another one of my new spells that I learned.”

	“And how sure are you that it won’t make you spontaneously combust again.”

	“Please Lina, only a idiot would combine a teleport spell and a flame spell. Honestly you are such a amateur sometimes.”

	Lina resisted bashing Naga’s brain with a  huge rock she spied on the floor. Instead, she just gave a big sigh.

	“Okay fine. It can’t be that bad. Worst you can do I suppose is zap him into a town or something. Not that I would care.”

	“Great! I’m glad you’re finally recognizing my obvious skills. Alrighty then. Here we go!” Naga pointed her leather gloved hands at the dragon, a glow surrounding her body.

	“Teleport….NOW!”

	With a  poof the dragon vanished. Leaving no evidence it was ever there apart from the indentation it  had left on the mound of gold. Naga wiped her hands, obviously very proud of herself.

	“OH HO HO HO! And you doubted me huh Lina Inverse! You should trust Naga the Serpent when she tells you that…” she trailed off, a confused look appearing on her face.

	“Naga? Are you okay? You didn’t pull a muscle casting that spell did you?”

	“No…It’s just that I feel a little bloated all of a sudden.”

	They both looked down at the woman’s stomach. Her normally concave abdomen was now just slightly convex.

	“That’s funny.” Naga said, rubbing the small swelling. “I don’t remember eating anythiiiiIIIIIIIIIAAAAAH!”

	In the blink of a eye Naga’s belly ballooned up. Its expansion so quick and fast that it knocked Lina back into the walls. Once she came to her senses, the young sorceress gasped, as she took in the full view of her now huge partner.

	Naga lay on the humongous ball of her belly. Her face clearly in shock at the sudden growth of her middle. No matter where she looked, all she could see was the stretched pink skin of her stomach, so large that it blocked her view of anything on the ground. It had pushed her up to the ceiling of the cave, and she swore she could feel some of the stalactites prodding her naked rump. Even without saying anything, the both of them knew where the dragon had teleported too.

	“W-Where are you -urp- Lina!? I can’t see you!” said Naga, clearly in a panic about her condition

	“ Keep your voice down you tub! I’m right here.” Lina said, prodding the side of Naga’s belly, indicating her location.

	“It’s way too big! All I can see is my stomach! Oh why didn’t you stop me! Now my perfect figure is ruined because of you!”

	“MY FAULT? You were the one who came up the great idea of teleporting a big ass dragon. I figured it was the one spell you were incapable of screwing up! Now thanks to you, we can’t get the gold because your blimp of a belly is blocking the freaking way!”

	She emphasized her frustration by kicking Naga’s round swell, making the woman yelp in pain. 

	Something rumbled ominously inside of her.

	“T-That doesn’t sound like my stomach.” Naga gulped.

	“Uh, I think the dragon might be awake now.” said Lina, slowly backing up.

	With a muffled roar, the dragon tried to get up, but suddenly found itself unable to do so. Knowing it was trapped, it instantly began to thrash around, trying to free itself of whatever confines it was stuck in.

	The form of the dragon could now clearly be seen in Naga’s belly as it struggled mightily, multiple bumps appearing on the skin when it moved its legs and tail. The force of the dragon’s violent movements rocked Naga from side to side, making her squeal as she held on to the bloat of her stomach like she was on a ship in a storm. It sounded like one too, with the growls of the dragon like thunder, and the sloshing of the acids like churning ocean waves as they tried to penetrate the reptile’s impenetrable skin.

	“Lina heeeeeelp! It’s trying to tear me apart!”

	“What do you want me to do! This is your fault anyway!” Lina yelled, watching as her partner was suffering from what could be called the worst case of post-dragon indigestion ever.

	The darkness of the cave was suddenly illuminated, as they both watched in shock at the sight of Naga’s belly lighting up like a lantern. The silhouette of the dragon was practically visible for a brief moment, seen through the skin of the stomach, along with Naga’s patchwork of blood vessels. The effect looking like holding a developing egg in front of a candle and watching the chick inside. Only in this case the chick was a couple thousand pound irritable dragon.

	Naga felt a burning sensation rise up in her throat. 

	“Lina, I don’t feel so gooouUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRROOOOOOP!” she belched out, sending a torrent of flame shooting from her mouth. Lina barely had time to dodge the fiery burp, watching as it scorched the walls of the cave black.

	As the clouds of smoke dissipated from Naga’s lips, she tried to soothe the beast that lay within her belly, rubbing the quaking orb.

	“Lina what do I do? I don’t want to be stuck here till I digest this whole thing!”

	“Hey, what else can I do? I think you better enjoy your fifty course meal of fresh dragon, because from the look of it, you’ll be digesting that thing for a looooong time Naga.” Lina said, a smile coming over her face.

	“Nooooo. My perfect figure…I spent years crafting it from scratch…” Naga moaned.

	“Oh come on, don’t cry over it. All that fat will surely go to your huge tits and ass. Maybe even your hips and thighs will blow up because of this. Heck, maybe they will even give you new title because of this, like Naga the Hippo, or Naga the Elephant, or even Naga the WHALE!” Lina couldn’t hold in her laugher any longer, cracking up at the thought of a blimp sized sorceress lumbering in the middle of the street.

	“Oh Lina you’re horrible! I bet you wouldn’t be laughing at me if you had a huge dragon bouncing around in your gut!”

	“Hey, this little ol’ stomach can handle anything remember?” she said, proudly patting her trim waist. “One measly dragon would be no problem for me.”

	“Hmph! Too bad for you then that it’s in my belly. Because even if it was in your endless pit of a stomach anyway, you would still be as FLAT as a board Lina!”

	Lina’s mood instantly soured. “F-Flat! That’s sure is funny coming from Miss Blimp over there!”

	“Don’t forget I can still cast spells Lina! If I wanted I can teleport this scaly serpent right inside you!”

	“I’d like to see you try! Make sure you don’t light me on fire in the process too!”

	“Ooooh! That’s it! Don’t say I didn’t warn you Lina! Teleportation…NOW!”

	The same glow encompassed her huge body, but unlike before, nothing seemed to have happened, and the bluish hue did not retreat after the spell had been casted.

	“A bust huh? Can’t say I’m surprised.” Lina said, a tint of smug in her voice.

	“I-I don’t understand. At the very least it should have teleported out of me.”

	Naga heard Lina gasp.

	“W-What is it Lina?”

	“Don’t look now Naga, but I think you’re growing again!”

	“WHAT? B-B-B-B-But how!?” Naga stammered, watching with horror as her belly suddenly resumed increasing in size.

	“Don’t tell me…instead of teleporting that dragon you…you ended up teleporting a random dragon to your belly.” Lina flinched as a gigantic bulge appeared on Naga’s stomach. “And by the looks of it, it’s more that just one!”

	“Why won’t the stupid spell turn off! Lina you have to help me! Lina?” Naga turned around, just in time to she her red haired partner run as fast as she could out of the cave.

	“L-LINA YOU HEARTLESS JERK! THE NEXT TIME WE MEET I’LL MAKE SURE YOU END UP BEING CRUSHED UNDER THE GREAT NAGA’S HIDE!” 

	Her eyes bugged out as she felt the length of a squirming dragon get squeezed into her lower digestive system, and as more and more dragons stuffed themselves into her dilating middle, her poor stomach had no choice but to push as many dragons it could, alive or not, into her small intestines. Naga groaned as she felt herself being crushed by her belly against the roof of the cave, and her sides scrapping the cracking cavern walls.

	“If I ever get out of this, I’ll never eat another bite of food ever again!” she cried, watching as the cave broke apart, crumbling down around her.

___________________

	“Well, I think this should be far enough.” Lina said, gently touching down on the edge of a cliff. She looked back into the distance, her eyes squinting from the glare of the sun.

	Though it was miles away, Lina could still clearly see a giant pink ball slowly beginning to rise over the mountains.

	“Hmm maybe I should fly a bit farther, just to be safe.” she said, beginning to levitate off the ground.  “Though I kinda envy her. At least she gets a meal out of this. But hey, on the bright side, now that every single dragon in the world is in her belly, that means all those caves are unguarded. Soooo, more gold for me! Thanks a lot Naga! You were finally useful for once in your life!” With that she took off, flying as fast as her magic could carry her.

	Almost as if in response, a echoing belch rumbled across the land.
