[Nomo and Nallory] Rise of the Monstrous Sumos (Part 1)
(aka. The Big Halloween Story >:3)
-----
[Nallory's House, a week or so before October 31st]
Nallory Fizzel, everybody's favorite (and only) soda potion brewer in Heluiah, lazed
about on her sofa. Today was an average day, not too different from yesterday, or the
day before... or the day before that. In truth, she was rather bored.
"Yaaawn... I'm so bored..." she mumbled out loud to herself.
Flinging one of her soda arms out, she grabs the remote to the TV and turns it on.
Maybe something on there will keep her entertained?

Not too long after turning it on, her attention is drawn by an advert starring...
Triss? She was standing in front of the HSL Stadium.
"HEY GUYS!!! Guess what? For my BIRTHDAY (Halloween!) I am going to be hosting a very
special... one night only... SPOOKY SUMO SHOW!"

Nal groans a little to herself, "Hmgh,,, I swear she gets more and more extravagant
very year..."

The ad continues, with Triss going over some of the matches, "And to cap the night
off, there'll be a big exhibition match between Nomo and Kujira! That's right!"

Nal immediately bolts up from her couch, "Eek! O-oh gosh, does that mean-"

*Knock knock!*

Almost immediately, there's a knock at the door. Nallory, a bit nervous about the
seemingly sudden appearance of her sumo friend, opens the door. "H-hi?"

Nomo's standing there alright, tapping her foot energetically, "Hey Nalllll! Sooooo-"

"Yes, I saw it on the tv... you're gonna have some... m-monster sized exhibition match?"

Nomo nods cheerily, "Yea! So I kinda need your help tho..."

The two walk inside. Nallory, having known Nomo for a while (especially on the
business front) was quick to trust her, no matter what her request would be.
"Let me guess... need me to make you some kind of potion for it?"

"I mean you don't have to from scratch! You already know which one I'm seeking~"

Nal sweats a bit, "I uh... I don't..."

Nomo giggles a little, "It's that one you were telling me about a bit ago. The uh...
one that temporarily transforms you into a personalized monster?"

Nal sweats more, oh god. She didn't know Nomo would be asking for THAT. "N-no way...
the Inner Beast potion? B-but I've only brewed that once and... it only turned
me into a frog lady..."

"Nallory... I don't think that was a misfire~" she cheekily winks at her, and Nal
goes pink in the face from embarrassment.

"O-okay,,, if you say so, I can try it again."

"Sweet!" Nomo jumps up and shakes Nal's gummy-feeling hand aggressively, "Pleasure
doin' business with ya!"

---
[An hour and a half later...]
Despite her timid and failgirl nature, Nallory's actually pretty damn good at brewing.
In fact, potions that would normally take her like 3 hours can get done in half the
time, such as this potion! An extra set of hands helped also though~

Nomo wipes sweat from her forehead after all the dashing around Nal's Ingredient
Storage room to grab what the bubbly witch may need, "Phew! That's all?"

Nallory stirs up the brew in her cauldron, the soda base causing the mixture to
fizzle and bubble way more than any average potion, "Just a bit more stirring...
I don't know why I didn't ask this earlier Nomo but... what creature do you think
you'll turn into?"

"Uhhhh idk! Hopefully something nice and strong that meshes well with my outfit~"

Nallory chuckles a little under her breath, "Well don't be too mad if you end up
a frog as well!"

After a few more minutes of stirring, a Dragon-Egg Timer sitting on the counter goes
off, signaling that the potion's finished! "And there we are!" Nal raises the legs
of the cauldron with a hinge on the side, and uses the tap on its base to put a bit of
the mixture into a vial. It glows with an obsidian-red hue... quite sinister.
"Jeez, forgot how much of a product of dark magic this looks."

Nomo walks up to get a closer look, "So I just sip this?"

"Y-yeah, according to the book, a dosage of this amount will turn you into your
Inner Beast for about an hour,,," She taps the side of it a little to watch it bubble,
"Larger doses extend the duration of its effects... I've also heard for some beasts
that taking a larger dose increases the intensity of changes, which I'm taking to
guess a full bottle of this stuff would make you 20 feet tall."

Nomo gets a little lost in thought, "Did you say a Kaiju battle?~"

"Nomo! It's only an guess!" She puts the vial into her hands, "*Only* take this much
please... for the safety of you and my house..."

Nomo nods, before downing the vial in one gulp. "Mmm! Tastes like cherry cola!"
She hands the vial back to Nallory before stepping back... magic sparkles starting to
swirl aroundd her. "Oooooh I think it's happening!"

Nal also steps back a bit, "Yeah,,, don't worry, the transformation should be
quick and painle-"

Somehow, as if to go against what she's hoping, Nomo stumbles back holding her head
with one hand. The lights flicker. "Agh... ok there's definitely an aftertaste..."
Nomo groans, not even noticing a purplish hue beginning to spread across her body.

Nallory, in anticipation and also worry, steps back a little. "How uh... how are
you feeling?"

Nomo chuckles, trying to look confident, "Chill out soda gal! I can handle this...
I can handle-" then out of nowhere, the hand she's holding to her head surges in
growth. "Rrgh! I can handle this!"
Her other arm does the same, causing her to wince.
Then, of course, her gut also balloons, but looking less like a pillow and more like
a boulder. Nomo's confident grin lessens as the transformation continues. She just
seems to get larger and larger...

Nal, cowering now behind a table speaks up, "I uh... I hope this isn't hurting..."

Nomo responds. Not with words though.
"RRRRROOOOAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!!!"
A monstrous roar shakes the house, causing some bottles to fall over, creating a
mist that fills the room. Nallory bubbles, and just watches what she can see through
the mist. The sillhouette of her friend gets larger... and larger... and it
looks like something's growing out of her head?

Soon, the smog clears. Nallory coughs and fans it away from her face, looking at 
Nomo... or whatever she's become... "Pleh,,, N-Nomo? Are you ok?"

"Uff,,, I,,, hold on,,," Nomo looks down at her hands, then down at her body in
general. While her belt is intact, she can see her main suit piece is in tatters. 
As her vision goes back to normal, she sees that she's definitely grown... Her arms 
and legs feel much stronger, and her skin feels tougher than usual. 
Her skin, however, is now a lovely shade of purple with strange patterns adorning it. 
A large swirl dons her gut, looking enticingly hypnotic... if it was moving at least.
"I uh... don't know what I am. Could you maybe..."

"Way ahead of you!" Nallory goes and drags in a huge mirror, allowing Nomo to see how
she's changed.

Getting a better look at herself, Nomo realizes what she's become... Her large purple
frame is topped with a very soft and round face, with big horns adorning the top.
Her hair now has a few white streaks in it. "Hooooly fuck... I'm an Oni!"

"Wow! That's... new. I've never seen an Oni before." Nallory seems a bit starstruck
about the whole thing.

Nomo, or should she be called Nomoni now, poses a bit in the mirror, "I've never
either, but I've heard a lot about them! They're big and strong..." she flexes
a little, "Yep, this is winning me the match for sure!"

Nallory starts bottling up the rest of the potion, "Mmhm! Glad I could help you out!"
She puts them in what looks like soda bottles and then packages them together into
two 6-packs of soda bottles.

Nomo, enjoying her Oni size and form, does a STOMP to practice. The floorboards creak
and rumble, and Nal gets a bit shaken up, her belly puffing out a bit. "H-hey!!"

"Whoops! Sorryyyyyyyy~" Nomo cheekily bends down into her pre-match stance, "Don't
wanna get toooo carried away~"

"Hmph,,," Nallory pouts a little, and burps under her breath to get the fizz out.
"Well you can take one of these packs to help you out. Just remember what I told
you!"

Nomo grabs a pack and gets up, "Yea yea I know, don't drink too much. Will I see
you at the event by the way?"

Nallory thinks for a moment, "Well... I'm free on Halloween so,,, I'll come!"

"Alriiiight! See you then!~" Nomo does a fun pose, and then heads out, somehow
managing to get through the door without breaking anything.

Upon the exit of the transformed sumo, Nallory immediately crashes back on the couch.
A long day of work means a nice rest after all, and she's glad to have helped her
friend out!

---
[A few days later...]
Nallory stands at the door, face to face with another HSL sumo, Kiki!
"Soooo do we have a deal?" She says with a smile.

Nal groans a little, "Look, those potions were for my friend, I'm not just gonna give
them up..."

"But what about the other end of the match? Wouldn't you want Kujira to be just
as powerful as Nomo?~"

Nal taps her foot, "Well maybe... but..."

"I'll give you some nice money for it!"

Nallory's eyes light up, "Uh... how much?"
