She finds a bunch of fish to use. They can't be any worse, right?

Fishfreak suspected that the problem with her previous choices was that she had picked very willful fish of unknown origin. She didn't know how to speak their language or get on the same wavelength, so she hadn't been able to control them. With that guiding principle, the ones she was now looking at seemed like a much safer fish. In fact...

"These WILL do, oh YES. THESE fish WILL DO quite NICEly." A menacing, toothy grin, which would any other day probably have been considered her resting expression, returned to her face. She was peering into a huge tank with what appeared to be a school of some tiny sea creature, zipping through the aquarium water like a dark cloud. They were actually more like tiny, jet-black but translucent jellyfish, moving in perfect sync. This time, Fishfreak had the good sense to at least skim the placard to confirm they didn't say anything about burrowing into holes or something so ominous. Indeed, she found exactly what she was looking for. "The WOMAN-O-WAR move as A SINgle INStincTIVE HIVE MIND. They HAVE no INDivIDUal BRAINS. PerFECT...!"

Tilting her head up and holding her grin, the disarmed villain turned to Lanus, who had just finished his snack. As she emitted a guttural, inhuman squelch, the Woman-O-War inside the tank immediately leapt out as an entire school, forming around her shoulders and slowly snaking into jet-black, feminine arms matching her own fit musculature. She flexed the fingers of one hand, then flashed her teeth once more as the nails sharpened into points. "PerFECT!! This will BE eNOUGH to turn THAT stupid BELLED rag of YOURS into RIBbons!" She motioned with the other hand with one finger, raking it inwards in a "come here" gesture.

"You're gonna cut up my clothes?" Lanus frowned at her, not seeming to understand. "I mean... I've got a bunch that appeared in my room, and they do get damaged a lot, but why?"

"It's NOT aBOUT CUTting YOUR CLOTHES!" As Fishfreak declared it, her right arm pointed to his groin. The left began doing a strange gesture at her side, bending the elbow to jerk a loosely balled fist up and down. "It is aBOUT CUtting YOU to RIBbons! My ARMS feel more POWerFUL than EVer."

"Uh..." Lanus watched her arms curiously as they pointed low again. One resumed jerking the air, while the free one now began some evocative fingering motion, holding palm up just below the bottom of the jerking fist. "Hey, did you notice that sign folds out?"

"NO..." The fish monster muttered to herself, whirling in place to peer at the tank she'd just stolen from. As she did so, her hands each grabbed one of her buttcheeks and spread them invitingly. Fishfreak grabbed the sign using her prehensile tongue. Mysteriously enough, it was the only sign in the entire aquarium that folded out. She pulled it to the side, revealing more information.

"It says 'The Woman-O-War works as a hive mind to, uh, 're-pro-duce'. In the event that they are devoured by a predator, they are occasionally capable of controlling the host in order to facil-tate that creature's re-pro-dootion.'"

"THAT'S PREPosTERous!" Fishfreak said that, but as she stared at her arms, they began rubbing along her curvy body, beckoning the only being in the room that might conceivably be capable of reproducing with her. "A BRAINless HIVE mind? ConTROL the DAUGHter of the SEAS? RIDicuLOUS. I am SORry to DISappoint YOU, PREtty BOY, but I onLY KIND of WANT to let YOU FUCK me!"

Lanus scratched at his head, getting confused. "So you do 'kinda' wanna do it?"

The monster's jaw fell open as she quickly realized what must be happening. "Oh no NO NO no! DamMIT, I NEED you to EAT my ARMS again!" No sooner had she said that before she realized she had a bigger problem: her wide hips had begun teasingly wiggling at the cat-man, as her hands continued to trace her body, stopping to dig into her soft flesh. As she glanced, she could see dark spots had begun to form in small patches across her slimy skin. "CRAP, it's SPREAding...!"

"Do you want me to eat your whole body, then?" Lanus asked with his tail curling and a small string of drool trickling from a corner of his fanged mouth.

"NO, DamMIT, don't EAT me! If ANYthing, I will SOON be SWALLowing your MAN-meat- GAAAH, uugh!" Furiously, the creature stomped her feet on the plastic flooring. It seemed like her legs were probably the one part she was somewhat in control of, since she hadn't walked over to Lanus and immediately jumped him. "I NEED your HELP. Find a FISH in HERE with POIsonous PROPerTIES! I will KILL the Woman-O-WAR IN my BOdy MYSELF by INTEgrating the POISON." The ordinarily cunning (if, today, strangely unlucky) villain realized she'd get the side benefit of making her body poisonous to ingest... a surefire defense against being eaten! "And I will GET to CONtiNUE to BOND with the SEXy LAND creaTURE so THAT WHEN the damnaBLE INvaDERS are DEAD, I can REward HIM with my BOdy- FUCK! Got to GET these THINGS out of MY HEAD...!" Unbidden, Fishfreak raised a free hand - the one that wasn't busy beginning to search for her slit - to her wide mouth and bit along its length softly with a row of her sharp teeth, working to suppress a moan.

Meanwhile, Lanus tried to find a poisonous fish for her to integrate. "I've only ever picked out fish to eat before... Hm. If I want a poisonous one, I guess the most poisonous one is, uh... probably the one I want to eat the least...?"
