Chapter 8: Atrophy

There was turmoil in the city of Themyscira…

Ever since Princess Diana disappeared into the night several days ago, Amazon sisters had begun disappearing in the middle of the night, without a sound or trace. So far seven had vanished, leaving queen Hippolyta furious at the lack of results from the scouting parties that scoured the forests and terrified at what she was currently looking at. When Diana had gone missing she and her guard went to the refuge she was giving after she was struck with her affliction. What they had found there on the ceiling shriveling and drying like sundried raisins were… cocoons of sorts. Dull green and leathery in texture the floors underneath were sticky and glossed over with the waxed fluids of what they were filled with, the guards avoided it all like it was poison! along with claw marks on the walls and floors leading them all to believe there had been a terrible struggle. Strange splotches of hardened material caked over what used to be the bath tub and bed room, where bed sheets and spare cloths had been torn and scattered throughout the tile floors.

When the guards had first seen this all after breaking the door down many fled out into the open to wretch over the side, the smell alone made the once pristine living quarters stink like a festering bog or swamp. Today two guards stood at the entrance of their princess’s former home while their queen looked up at the hideous remains around her, clutching a token to Athena to better guide her to the truth of the matter. “Diana… What has become of you?”

"A demon, my Lady, our princess has brought a demon to our paradise home." One of the guards spoke out. “We should never had let it step one foot on our sacred island… Or its mother!”

The thunder crack of the backhand sent the Amazon guard nearly halfway down the steps, rolling limp before stopping, the other guard bowing swiftly in the sight of their Queen’s wrath. "Watch what you say in my presence, my daughter is under the curse of some great evil from the patriarch world, she must be rescued before it seeps further into our home, go now and find her!"

Bowing again the guard ran down the steps and helped pick up the other Amazon regaining her bearings half-way down, they left their queen alone in the brightly lit open quarters, her eyes still trained on the dry fleshy sacs that hanged above.

“Daughter… where are you?

Deep in the forests of Paradise Island far from sight from the rest of the Amazon people, Wonder Woman howled and moaned as she was mounted from behind. Three days had passed and the seven spawn born from Diana's sons had matured into powerful additions to her brood. Vicious and aggressive they mounted the Amazon princess over and over, filling her womb nearly to overflow... And she loved every second of it!

"YES! More! Plant your seed into the fertile valley of my womb, I shall bear a bountiful crop of our children! MORE!" Hearing him grunt and stiffen Diana moaned louder as she felt him flood her insides, gripping her wide hips and pumping hot cum into her starving pussy. Sliding out he staggered off leaving Wonder Woman to turn and lean against the tree she supported herself off of. Basking in the sensation of being so full she rubbed the curve of her stuffed belly, waiting for it to happen. Overhead five cocoons hung from heavy tree branches, their surfaces throbbing and beating like living organs.

Around the clearing she and her brood stayed in her son and the other males pumped their massive cocks to spray cum resin all over the shrubs and trees around them, molding the hardening substance to wall up the area. Their seed seemed to have interesting properties, it hardened into a type of cement over time, surrounding the clearing in a glossy brown structure, webbing around the branches and ground around them. And it was delicious! She was almost addicted to its buttery sweet flavour when one of them shoved its male organ into her mouth, filling her belly with its thick cream. The effects it had on her figure were apparent, now covered in a soft layer of fat she now had a full bodied frame, her scaly breasts now massive and laden with milk as her dark nipples dripped almost constantly, her ass was round and firm tapering her wide hips and stout thighs. Not only was her frame ample, bordering on obese, she was gigantic. Well over 7 feet tall she towered over her spawn from the shoulders up, a giantess who had let her baser impulses drive her to eat whatever she pleased and in doing so grew in the process, expanding up and out until she was three times the woman she was when she arrived on the cobble steps of her home.

Breathing through her nostrils Diana hissed in pleasure, her tentacles waving through an invisible breeze all around her and wrapping around the trunk of the tree behind her. She never felt this powerful in her life, so large, so alive, so... FEMALE! In one night she bore the five grubs that now hung from chrysalis above her head, the night after that she bore another seven, her latest litter curled up asleep in the middle of the clearing keeping warm after feeding them of her milk. She wanted more, she wanted to bear a legion of children. Every child that passed through her birth canal made her grow, made her strong, made her even more than what she was.

A princess? She was a QUEEN!

"Yessss...." Feeling a warmth develop in her naval Diana smiled at the curve of her belly beginning to swell and grow, her hips creaking wider while her breasts bloated larger and fuller with milk. Rearing up she roared out her femininity just as her water broke, she was FEMALE and the rest of the island knew it now.

***

Meanwhile…

The phalanx of amazons clutched their spears and glanced at one another as the roar echoed through the forest. They had been hunting the woods outside the palace grounds for three days, three days of searching and tracking and yet through all that time they found nothing, nothing but the howls and roars of some terrible beast just too far to see but close enough to hear. The patrol began to wonder, from the chilling howls in the air, were they hunting one monster? Or many? Over the horizon the sun was setting and darkness was looming over the brush and treeline, leaving the patrol on edge.

"Be strong my sisters," Artemis whispered, leading them through the darkness. The redheaded amazon was certain the monster Diana had brought with her had also caused her disappearance, along with the disappearance of several amazon sisters from the city. Hippolyta feared the worst, and Artemis swore **** on the demon preying on her people. Now she and her finest warriors were tracking it, and had finally cornered it, it seemed. "It's close." Taking cover behind a fallen tree the amazons hid and kept quiet, despite there being no light up ahead the moon high above illuminated some of the movements in the clearing up ahead.

"I think there's more than one," one of her lieutenants replied, eyeing the dark blurs shifting in the dark, their grunts and snarls audible fro their hiding spot. "Look, you can see them moving around!" The vague shapes slithered and writhed in the darkness of the clearing. Artemis cursed the clouds that obscured the sliver of moonlight, wishing they could get a better idea of the numbers they were against. She couldn't risk losing any more time, though. When the clouds cleared away, letting the full moon bask the forests in light, Artemis caught sight of a large mass in the middle of the clearing and quietly gasped in shock. There at the center of the clearing, surrounded by several large monstrosities was their princess, twisted and hideous she lounged like a mother cat surrounded by maggot-like creatures squirming over her body, crowding around her chest like a mother sow. For a brief horrifying second Artemis and the thing Wonder Woman had become made eye contact, the smile Diana gave her made the amazon warrior sneer.

“ATTACK MY SISTERS! LEAVE NONE OF THEM ALIVE!!!”

Hearing the battle cry the hulking male creatures looked up just in time to find twelve armoured warrior women armed with spears and shields fly out from their hiding place and strike with the fury of a metal storm. The closest monstrosity didn’t even have the time to react when a javelin was thrown with enough **** to not only impale through his eye and out the back of his skull but kept right on going, sailing through the night air and pinning another against a tree through it’s sides, the first victim dropping like a stone while the other screeched and squealed like a dying pig. The clearing was suddenly beset upon by a dozen amazon warriors, their swords flashing in the dim light. Hacking and slicing anything that tried to face them. Beating the monsters back with steel and bronze besting tooth and claw. Artemis herself sailed up into the air and cleaved one of the abominations through its slithering head down to its naval, kicking away the gory peeled corpse to strike at her real target. The one lounging nonplus in the grass up ahead.

“BETRAYER!”

Throwing her own spear forward it flew with the speed and **** of a cannonball, striking true against its target and setting the demoness roiling in anguish. Diana roared in pain as the spear stabbed her in the leg, her grubs yelping and falling from her breasts and she snapped to her feet, reaching down to pull it out. Prying it out just in time to face Artemis arming herself with sword and shield the former Wonder Woman brandished her claws and snapped her tentacles in wild fury. Artemis fought with blind rage, her swings and strikes carrying with them the **** to slice solid stone in twain, evident when she missed and brought the tree down nearby, its trunk split in half and spraying wood chips before crashing down. Matching Diana blow for blow she found her chance and took it, with her shield up Artemis charged forward and pinned her foe against the ruin of the tree and skewered her through the chest, the tip of her blade piercing out the back and spraying green ichor over the fallen cocoons.

“BURN IN HELL YOU MONSTER! AND TAKE YOUR BASTARD SONS WITH YOU!!!”

The scream of pain their former princess gave was ear piercing and inhuman, forcing many to cover their ears before she fell limp and lifeless. Looking to her patrol the amazons raised their blades in triumph to their leader, cheering that they had defeated the monsters plaguing their people. Looking back at the dead thing impaled by her blade the leader of the royal guard sneered back at what her princess had become. “Sickening, you and your kind will trouble us no more…” A sudden rush slammed into her side, piercing through her armor like it was tin. “Hnnnnngh… What?”

“Oh Artemis, you always thought you could best me.”

"Diana...?"

Looking up with a bloody grin the she creature leered over to where her tendril had struck at the side of Artemis’s armour, slipping out of the bleeding wound and letting the red haired woman double back clutching her injury. To everyone’s horror Diana got up from her prone state, rolling her shoulder and looking down at the sword still impaled in her chest with mild amusement before pulling it free and licking the green blood off of the blade. Looking down at her chest the wound rapidly sealed up, the blood and ichor flowing back into the wound just when it finally healed, leaving nothing, not even a scar. Dropping the sword to the ground Diana looked to her former sisters and smiled, baring rows of shark like teeth. It was then Artemis and the others began to realise, the dead creatures they had hacked apart and killed, weren’t dead at all. One by one they got back up to their feet, clicking bones back into place and rapidly healing, almost like the effects of time were reversing itself. One of the hideous male creatures got up and looked to the stump where its left arm once was, the severed limb rotting and gelatinized on the grass by its feet. Closing its yellow slit eyes, the stump swelled out, branching into a fresh new arm along with fingers and claws.

Staring at the beasts leering at them all the amazon’s last sight wasn’t the lot of them rushing to attack, but their twisted princess! Like a blur she struck with the speed of a lightning bolt, her claws slashing and smashing through the bronze armor each of them wore with ease. Centuries of Amazonian training had mixed with vicious animal teeth and claws, rending steel and flesh alike. One amazon had been struck with enough **** to send her careening towards a tree at the edge of the clearing, instantly knocking her out. Another tried to fight back but her shield had been buckled with one good backhand and her sword crumpled in the bloody grip of her attacker. It was then that Artemis and her sisters realised what was happening. They never had a victory in hand, not by any means. Diana had been playing with them, taunting them, like a cat playing with field mice. They could never truly harm her or her monstrous spawn. When the last guard was struck down Diana turned to the prone leader and sauntered over to her, her chessar smile never leaving her scaly lips.

"Why, Artemis did you arrange this little sortie? I can't thank you enough, sister, no matter how inconsiderate you were. My poor boys were so frustrated lately. After all I may be insatiable, but I'm only one woman."

She gestured to her adult children who had already descended onto the prone warriors and began ripping their cloths off to get at the women underneath, breathing heavily and positioning them all to be penetrated by the barbed phalluses bobbing between their legs. The amazons screamed as the creatures filled them with their thick erections, none of the women had known a man's touch, and the males were delighted at the virgin tightness of their unwilling mates.

"You've been corrupted," Artemis spat. "You and that fiend you brought here will be the doom of Themiscyra!"

"Perhaps," Diana chuckled. "Or perhaps it was inevitable. One queen supplants another." Scratching an itch between her large scaly breasts Diana leered at the wounded warrior, licking her lips. "But what to do with you?"

Looking up from her prone spot on the grass against a tree Artemis raged at what Diana had become as the moonlight better illuminated the area. No longer the tall statuesque beauty she once was, Wonder Woman stood over the head of the Amazonian guard a tall curvaceous monster! Her skin green and translucent, Artemis could swear she could see right into Diana's flesh, her hands and feet were barbed with sharp claws and spines lining her arms and legs, tendrils as long as her arm hung from her head like hair, slithering and coiling with a will of its own. Her once trim and athletic figure had given way to bountiful curves and soft padding that had given the former princess a full figure, her breasts still leaking rich milk even now. All around her the brutes had their way with the Amazon warriors, their cries and moans drowned out by snarls and hisses, along with the wet slurping of their sharp erections pumping into them. Looking over her shoulder Diana smiled, closing her yellow reptilian eyes to breath in the smells as she looked right back at her prize. "I think I've found a suitable task for you Artemis, a punishment you may soon enjoy over time..." Stepping forward she grabbed onto the red haired woman's arm, hoisting her up with little difficulty and spun her into an arm hold, her tendrils coiling over to tie her arms and pry her head up to see. "Watch Artemis, THIS is the future of the Amazons!"

Sated for now the mob of monsters pulled away from the group of warrior women, their sore moans filling the area as one by one they started screaming, pain rushing through them their bellies began to expand. Growing quickly as balloons inflating with air the prone Amazons cried out clutching their bellies as they looked four months pregnant and growing rapidly. Artemis looked on in horror when they reached what appeared full term, their wombs red and taut and screaming louder, pain reaching new heights before they began to burst open. Ceasing her struggles and shaking with shock Artemis looked on as her warriors died giving birth to a new crop of the demonic monsters her 'princess' had brought with her.

"So I am to die like them? YOU will not have the satisfaction of me screaming like that!"

Licking the side of Artemis's face Diana purred with a wide smile before spinning the Amazon warrior around and forcing her hefty breast into her mouth, squeezing hard enough to fire a jet of milk straight into her throat. "No 'sister', you're going to live... In time you will appreciate this as a gift as I have." Letting her go Diana pulled away. spitting and wiping her mouth, Artemis groaned clutching her sides and doubling over with dizziness. Without warning pain seared through her and she cried out when her flesh sprouted dozens of tentacles, piercing through her leather and armor. The mess of limbs reaching up to pull the leader of the phalanx up into the trees and become wrapped up, going still when her chrysalis hardened and went still. With that bit done Diana sauntered up to the mewling newborns and picked them up lovingly, licking them clean, all while her sons pulled away the bodies, licking their teeth at the new meals.

The morning after…

Diana watched with satisfaction as the cocoon split like the husk of an overripe melon, depositing Artemis into her arms. The former warrior was like her now, a creature as far beyond the Amazons as they were to humanity. Her skin was now flexible armour plates and her hair flowed down her back in segmented tentacles. Spines jutted out from her forearms and ankles and to Diana’s amusement a bony crest much like her own jutted out above the woman’s scalp. "Welcome, sister," Diana cooed, licking Artemis's face affectionately. The smaller female suddenly woke and pushed her away, her contorted face full of confusion and rage.

"What happened to me?" Artemis growled. "What did you do, you monster?! Change me back!"

"I'm afraid not, Artemis," Diana chuckled, her breasts quaking after she crossed her arms under them. "I don't think I could if I wanted to, which I do not. Besides, I like you better this way."

"Laugh THIS off, betrayer!" Artemis roared, attacking Diana with a flurry of kicks and punches, even going so far as to swipe at the woman with her newly formed claws. The larger woman smiled and allowed Artemis to rush at her, using her superior strength and warrior skill to turn away every blow. Grabbing Artemis by the wrists she pulled her in face-to-face. Her surprised open mouth made an enticing target, and Diana clamped her own mouth on Artemis's, kissing her roughly, her tongue plunging more deeply than humanly possible and exploring the smooth surface of her mouth and throat. Resisting at first Artemis struggled against Diana’s iron grip, she was prepared for pain, a fight for her life. But what she wasn’t prepared for was how sensitive she had now become, how her nipples pressed up against the bulk of Diana’s breasts mashed against hers, how the kiss had sent thrills and jolts of intense pleasure to wrack through her, making her weak in the knees. Glancing over her prey’s slithering hair Diana caught sight of a male watching them both. An unspoken command seemed to pass from her to him, and he approached, his throbbing erection at the ready.

"Mmmmmgah!" Artemis gasped, pulling free of Diana's kiss, a string of saliva dripping between their mouths and rage burning in her now reptilian eyes. "You bestial pervert! You're no princess of the Amazons!"

"Quite right," Diana nodded. "I’m a QUEEN!" With that, the male grabbed Artemis's muscular rear and thrust his cock into her, plundering her virgin depths with his thick tool. Artemis grit her teeth and hissed, shaking her head. Her legs flailed ineffectually, trying to escape the fate she hated herself for beginning to enjoy. She'd never had sex, and didn't imagine it could be as joyfully primal as it was, feeling the ridged, curved member plowing her from behind she beat her fists against the taller alien woman holding her there.

"H-Hate you…" she grunted, her pussy opening up like a flower to the thrusts of the male. "K-kill you!" Words escaped her as the sawing cock inside her brought her first orgasm, making her toes curl. She could feel her pussy spasming while the pleasure jolted from her womanhood to her brain and back, bursting like lightning through her. A growl escaped her lips and she shut her eyes tightly when the male bore down, his cock throbbing into her, unleashing a pulsing flood of creamy heat into her hungry pussy. "That's it," Diana whispered hotly into Artemis's ear. "Feel the heat. Bask in it, sister. You may hate me if you wish, so long as you fulfill your purpose: to breed."

The smaller amazon moaned as she felt the seed in her taking hold, clutching her belly just when it began to swell and expand, changing to accommodate her new spawn...

***

Days had passed since Artemis and her band of warriors entered the forests to look for their missing princess Diana. Two more scouting parties had been sent and like the others they never came back. It wasn't until the following night that something had finally emerged from the forests, but it wasn't who Queen Hippolyta thought it was. Like wolves they rushed into the city, attacking anyone in sight. There were dozens of them, almost a small army rushing the gates and invaded the Amazon home. To their horror not only were they vicious but powerful, possessing strength and speed that easily matched the guards. For those that had fallen they received a fate far worse than ****, those still fighting were given a glimpse of their fallen sisters being **** on the spot, violated over and over again until they suddenly began swelling up, their stomachs growing round and heavy before a final ear shattering scream announced them rupturing like pomegranates, birthing new monstrosities that crawled out of their mother’s corpses.

Fighting a slowly losing battle the Amazons were beaten back to the palace, the beasts pressing with no care for their own selves as they took sword and spear strikes repeatedly, green blooded limbs flew off with every expert strike and the tiled floors stained with their putrid ichor. But again the Amazons were given witness to another horror... None of it mattered. Wounds healed almost instantly and severed limbs returned from the stumps they were severed from. With each second of hesitation the creatures attacked, claiming another female to despoil while the others fought for their lives.

In the end Hippolyta made a valiant fight standing her ground as the last Amazon alive in the royal palace. Her spear and shield struck true every time yet it was all for nothing as eight of the monsters tackled her down and pinned her to the floor, yet they didn't do to her that they had done to the rest of her people. Hissing and snarling at her face they seemed to be waiting for something as their attention came to the grand entrance. From there the Amazon Queen thought she heard footsteps, heavy and pronounced she found she could now feel them as well as hear what was coming.

She still wasn't prepared for what entered the main hall.

Smashing her way through the palace entrance that was far too small for her current size Diana raised herself up to her full height and roared, causing the entire palace to shake in her presence. She was enormous! Almost twice the height of any of her former sisters she stood on splayed toes, her heels elevated so she could stand on the balls of her talons like a bird would. Four arms with sharp claws grasped at the pillars of the entrance, shoving them roughly out of her way, walking into the palace with a grace her two-ton bulk and size couldn't possibly possess. Her massive tail swung and whipped behind her, smashing a statue with its strength as the female monster approached the captured queen. Looking up at her former daughter Hippolyta drank in the creature’s appearance. Her arms and legs festooned with barbed spikes, flattened and spaded like armor plates. Her chest had six heavy breasts lining down to her mid-stomach, each easily larger than her own head and dripping milk freely onto the tiled floor. Her once beautiful black hair was now a mass of writhing tentacles, but cutting through the swarm of limbs was a bony crest that started from her forehead like a tiara before rising into a spiky fin that went from her scalp all the way to the tip of her spear sharp tail. The only thing that remotely looked like her daughter was her angelic face, made vicious and predatory with shark-like teeth and yellow reptilian eyes.

"Hello... Mother."

"DAUGHTER! What have you done?! Your sisters, your home! What madness would grip you to destroy your own people?!"

Laughing at her mother's questioning the rest of the creatures joined in, filling the palace with broken laughter before the beast answered. "Nature mother dearest, it is the nature of things for one queen to dethrone the other... And I am no longer your daughter." Closing her eyes Diana began to concentrate, leaving Hippolyta to gasp as she watched the once heroic Wonder Woman change once again. Her nose and upper lip began to merge, pushing forward into a kind of muzzle as her lips pulled back and her face push forward. Her neck stretched out, growing longer until it over a foot long, her head lolling low to pant and sniff the air with her new flaring nostrils. Opening her mouth with a sigh she revealed rows upon rows of teeth before she regarded her mother and grabbed her with all four of her arms, stretching her mouth wide until it seemed Hippolyta was looking into the ever hungering maw of Charybdis itself. A whip sharp tongue wrapped around her neck before she was pulled into her maw, the halls filled with the gory screams of the Amazon queen being devoured until all was silent.

Wiping her blood stained lips Diana growled in satisfaction and smiled down at her children triumphantly. "ALL HAIL THE NEW QUEEN!" With a series of howls her children cheered as Diana looked over the palace halls, her chessar grin turning to a frown looking over the art and statues all about, shoving several off their podiums over and tearing away at a tapestry on the wall. "My first decree is to have our new nest prepared, we must make room for your future brothers and sisters." Watching her children go about destroying everything in sight Diana sauntered heavily over to the throne and batted it away with one of her claws before crawling onto all sixes and lounging over the remains like a jungle cat, her spiked tail flicking idly around the steps.

As more creatures flooded into the palace halls Diana smiled spotting Artemis among them, roughly pinning one of her sons to a wall before wrapping her leg around his waist and mounting him, kissing the male roughly and taking what she needed from him. With a dark smile Diana sat up leering at a group of her children gnawing on the tapestries she knocked over, spreading her legs open she looked over to five of her sons and hissed. The invitation was all they needed, fighting with one another to spear into their queen's folds, thrusting deeply into her womb before going stiff and erupting deep inside, flooding her insides with hot seed. With a feral moan she accepted it all as her latest lover was pulled out of the way for a fresh one, the lot pumping their shafts in anticipation for their turn while she demanded more by the minute. With a roar that filled the palace she announced her new role on the island.

She was Queen at last.

***

The sun dawned on a vastly different Themiscyra than the one it had set on.

Shining marble columns and statuary were toppled, Domii and Insulae were reduced to rubble, the Agora and temples were defiled as the beasts of Diana's swarm rampaged through the city, gleefully ransacking its treasures and rutting in the ruins.

Diana strode out to greet the sun on the steps of her palace, bathing herself in its purifying light as she held a group of grubs the size of human adolescents to her breasts. She'd borne a litter of ten, and they were all massive compared to her previous children. Stroking her belly she chuckled watching the members of her swarm busy at hand this morning. They had already built crude effigies of her out of marble, torturing the massive chunks of stone with their claws into the vague approximation of her draconian shape, resembling the eldritch idols of the ancient world. The thought gave her cause to reflect as she fed her children. Diana felt like she'd become something far greater than she was. She was a queen now, but not just a queen in a ceremonial sense. The swarm was part of her. Every member could trace its genetics back to her. She was the mother of an entire species! That revelation… Excited her.

She heard a familiar, gratifying sound behind her and saw Artemis on all fours, her talons digging furrows into the mosaic floor while being rutted savagely, her face contorted, howling like an animal. Nodding appreciatively Diana continued down the ruined steps, noting with humour how the once fiery warrior had fallen so quickly. Her sister's violent edge was now blunted by an addiction to sex. She took to the role of broodmare with such zeal that it seemed Artemis wished to rival her in the number of spawn she birthed.

"Most impressive, Artemis," Diana purred. Her voice was like the growl of a jungle cat after her transformation. "Soon we shall travel to Man's World, hmm… To think of all the male flesh you were denied for so long, never again my sister, never again!" Artemis just looked up at Diana, the rage in her eyes dimmed to embers from nonstop mating. Her nipples leaked milk in an expanding pool around her, mixing with her inner juices dribbling from her womanhood. Her eyes rolled back and she squealed out in orgasm.

Smiling more deeply Diana looked out over the land.

Themiscyra was a fertile island, but it could only support so much, especially with hundreds of hungry, horny monsters roaming free. They'd already begun stripping the trees of fruit, leaves and bark. That in itself surprised her, it seemed as though her new species could digest almost anything remotely organic, whether it could be a food source or not. But when it would all be striped away soon they would need to find more resources to gorge on... Diana thought about the vast natural bounty of the world and her stomach growled.

A pair of males approached, almost as if they could sense their queen's needs, and she took their cocks in hand. Bending down, she engulfed both of them, sucking the thick rigid shafts, rolling and swirling her tongue between them. They groaned in release seconds later, their balls tightening when semen spurted forth in thick gouts into their Queen’s hungry mouth. Diana swallowed the treat greedily, gulping down the offering with relish, she imagined the endless feast that awaited them on the shores afar...

“Soon… Soon…”
