She feels..., great!

"It's strange..., I should be freaking out but..." Peach stretched out, spreading her body a wide as she could without the use of her arms, "I feel... really good." Her muslces no longer ached, in fact they felt far stronger than she had been as a human. Her senses seemed far sharper in this form and the light wind brushing against her body sent a small relaxing chill through her body. "Hmm if only I had clothes to go with this, it wouldn't be so bad."

Moving also didn't feel as akward as she thought it would be. Even though she had to 'wiggle' or slither might be the right term, Peach felt as fast as before and even a few practice jumps showed she had the same height to them as before. Sure she couldn't hover like this anymore but with some practice, Peach was able to pull up her entire body into the jump, earning just a little extra height. And once in the air, she could use her tail like a small propeller like a certain fox she'd heard about. It wasn't strong enough to make her fly but it did slow her decent.

"Not as much as I could before with my hover trick but this is actually not bad." Peach thought to herself. And why should she be worried anyway. Strange transformations were kinda the norm in the kingdom. Sure most of them didn't make her this... curvy, but Peach was pretty sure she wasn't stuck like this. "Even if I AM," she thought as she slithered into the water just to cool her new scales of that itchy feeling, "There's all manners of reversions and cures. Heheheh, Snake Princess Peach. I should have some fun with this while I can....oooo..,"

Peach spied a wandering enemy, a small human in a hood with a mask. A Shy Guy if her memory was right. "I wonder if I can..." Peach thought as she 'crouched' low and jumped, using her long body like a spring.

The shy guy was out patrolling, just doing his duty as best he could. Wasn't sure WHY he was patrolling or for who but it was his job. Wait why was it his job? The nature of it's existence started to awaken to the small minion creature..., only for a large shadow to loom over it. With a SLAM and a great weight on it's shoulders, the Shy Guy blacked out.

"Hahahah, wow that was... a lot more effective than picking them up and throwing them." Peach chuckled. She got up and looked at her work, seeing the little minion crushed flat in the ground. The dirt shaped into two matching divots that were due to her ass. Peach blushed at the fact she basically just bare bottom sat on the minion's face. But he wasn't getting up any time soon and who knows, maybe he'd like that.

"Heard mutterings by some Koopas about wanting me to 'sit on them' so..., maybe Shyguys are the same?" Peach wondered as she cocked her head to look at her new large butt. It did seem quite lovely though she couldn't say why. Peach never put much thought into such things other than looking prim and proper. She shook her hips a bit and sent the mass a jiggling. The sensation was pretty enjoyable, sending shivers down her tail. An idea came to her and she turned her head back to her front.

With a similar motion, she shook her new massive boobs from side to side. Even the small amount of **** she gave them sent the pair wobbling from side to side. The ripples that went across the scales sent more shivers of pleasure through her body. "Mmm, that feels really good..., wait no!" Peach explained trying to refocus, "I can waste time enjoying this as fun as it is. I need to get back to...," She looked around trying to recall just what she was doing.

"Right I can't recall what I was doing anyway." She brought up her new tail to shade her eyes to get a better look. While the sun wasn't bothering her as much due to heat, the glare was still rather harsh. The tail did help a bit as she took in the details around her. Few more Shy guys patrolling off to the side, a few strange birds, couple Snifit, few other power ups and blocks littered around. But then a glint off in the distance caught her eye.

There was a large bird like statue against the rocky wall of a mountain, it's mouth closed shut. Placed above it on another smaller platform was a crystal ball that was causing the sun to be reflected into the Princess's eyes.

"Oh... I think I remember those!" Peach thought, snapping the tip of her tail like she would her finger, "Those doors tend to be used by big baddies for their troops to move around." Peach rotated her shoulders and stretched out to get herself ready, "That's what I should do to get to the bottom of this, just follow the gates. That should take me to the villain that's caused all this mess."

With her goal decided, Peach set out on her adventure. Dealing with the enemies now was a peace of cake compared to how it was before. Sure she didn't have arms anymore, but her snake body seemed to move with a quickness she hadn't expected. More surprisingly how easily she took to it. Peach found she could run err..., slither faster than before and her butt slams instantly took out enemies without having to pick them up and clobber another foe with them. Her senses too seemed to be enhanced, as Peach found threats around her without even seeing them. "I do recall something about Snakes having a strong sense of smell." the princess thought, not even realizing it was more due to her tongue now than her nose.

The most useful discovery was the fact that, as a Cobrat now, Peach found she could spit out bullets. "I'm surprised how natual this feels." Peach thought as she brought her head back and summoned for the bullet to shoot. Some her studies at some point, the princess knew how Cobrats shot their pellets but doing it herself didn't feel strange at all. The process was far faster than she had thought, nor did she feel discomfort at all. And it was just the thing for some of those enemies just sitting out of reach or over gaps.

What had been just an accident had left Peach with a stronger, faster body, enhanced abilities and new ones that made traveling across the jungle a breeze. And the sensations running through her when she jumped or slammed was just the icing on the cake.

"Maybe I'll have to see how this feels in a more... private time." Peach thought as she finally made it to the door and jumped up to where the Crystal ball was. "Wait how do I...?" Normally she would just pick it up but now? Well she lacked arms.

On a guess, she wrapped her tail around the orb and started to raise it, holding it tight to make sure it didn't slip out. "Alright this should... work? Maybe? How does Mario do it when he doesn't have arms?" Peach thought before going through the list of power ups the plumber had. Did he ever lose arms?

A crack brought her attention back to focus and her eyes shot up to the ball. Peach had misjudged her strength and before she could realize it, her grip around the crystal ball caused the object to shatter into dust. In a panic she tried to scoop up what she could with her tail but she couldn't hold anything more than a small amount of crystal dust.

"Oh no! Now what?" Peach cried, her head whipping around for an answer, "Maybe some glue? ... wait maybe..." Peach leaned down to the platform and began to run her tounge over the dust. It wasn't as disgusting as she thought, though the dirt from the platform was just a bit strange to smell AND taste. When she was sure she had all the bits of crystal, Peach started to focus and tried to spit one of her pellets.

Rather than coming out as large bullet rocketing off at high speed, a black substance started to form around her lips. Surprised, Peach gave a small 'huff' that blew the substance larger. "Wait ... I think it's working!" Peach thought as she saw bits of the crystal in the goo. It was a bit like blowing bubble gum, only taking time to use her tail to shape the growing bubble back into a perfectly round shape. It was hard work but nothing stopped her from completing it. Soon enough Peach was left with a new make shift Crystal(Black) Ball.

"Oh I hope this works." the princess muttered as she carefully grabbed the ball and slithered down to the gate. She carefully held it up to the eyes of the statue and even waved it around in front of it for a bit. "Is it not working?"

The 'ca chunk' of a lever and the sound of stone moving across stone made Peach jump back just a bit. The statue's eyes glowed bright as it's maw opened up into darkness.

"YES! Haha! I knew I could do it!" Peach exclaimed, bouncing up and down with the biggest smile she could muster. Everything was so strange but also exciting! She couldn't wait to see what 'level two' was like as she slithered through the entryway.
