Rehabilitation Chapter One
Cloud squirmed around in his restraints, tugging at them and trying to get free. Nothing doing, though. The cuffs around his wrists, ankles, thighs and biceps were each about as thick as his palm. There was just no way that he could bust out of it.
Which was really worrying, because staying here seemed like an awfully bad idea. Shinra was a bad place to be a captive in and under Hojo was even worse. He didn't want to stick around and find out just what that greasy creep had in mind for him.
He was alone in the room, though he thought that the glass panel on one wall was actually a mirror letting whoever was watching record this all without being seen. There was just a series of vents along the top quarter of the room and some other bulges and shapes that Cloud was totally unable to identify.
Those freaky ghost things had tried really hard to keep them all from being split up like this and Cloud had no idea what had happened to the rest of the team that had assembled to rescue Aerith. He hoped that they had managed it and she was out of the building by now, at least. And hopefully if Barret and Tifa tried to rescue him in turn, one of them wouldn't be caught as well, keeping this all in an endless loop that would be comedic if it wasn't so sad.
Cloud's clothes and weapons had been taken, though at least he had been given a kind of ugly smock to wear instead, a kind of muted, drab green that only Shinra could possibly think was a good choice to make something out of. And then he had waited in here, strapped to a chair. Waited and waited and waited.
Finally, something happened, though Cloud instantly wished it wouldn't. Slots on the walls around him slid open and mechanical arms slid out, most of them tipped with syringes. And at the same time, a pale, colorless gas started to hiss from the vents, falling down into the room. Cloud didn't waste his time shouting and instead took a deep breath, even as he yanked at the restraints keeping him in place. Uselessly, futilely yanked at them and only burned up the air in his lungs that much quicker.
Then the needles were pressing against his skin and sliding in. He grunted at the minor pain but it passed almost as quickly as it started. They really were very thin needles. Though attached to some extremely large syringes with plenty of fluid inside of them.
In the stories, there would be a speaker letting Hojo (and Cloud was sure that if Hojo wasn't watching the test, he had set it all up) gloat to Cloud about just what was going on right now and how hopeless it was for him to escape whatever fate was in store. But the only thing Cloud could hear was the rasp of his own breath and the pumping of the gas.
He could smell the gas, too. It was a chemical smell, though not as harsh as he might of thought it would be. He still didn't want to draw it into his body and kept his lips tightly sealed. For all the good that it would do him, he was sure.
A sensation that was something between a burning and an itching started everywhere in Cloud's body. He gasped and writhed in the bonds of the chair, though he wasn't able to escape, of course. And it seemed to be everywhere in his body. Most focused in the areas where the syringes had inserted their needles but he was just feeling this sensation absolutely everywhere right now and it was only growing as whatever liquid this was poured through his bo
Cloud gritted his teeth and refused to call out. It wouldn't get him anything and he wasn't going to show that kind of weakness to Hojo or whatever lackey he had running this. Cloud just lurched as far forward as he could as he panted for breath, shifting around in the chair and trying to cope with the sensations filling him up. The strange, unwelcome sensations as whatever was being done to him continued to happen.
He got his first hint of what that might be as his chest started to feel tight. Cloud blinked and stared down at the smock that he was wearing. The sensations coming from his upper torso right now were really, really weird and he couldn't begin to describe them at all. He could only swallow hard and keep on staring at himself as he felt the itching, almost stretching sensation.
Then he realized that his vision wasn't swimming and that his chest really was expanding. Expanding in certain ways, at least. He was growing breasts and Cloud's jaw dropped as he tried to deny that this was happening. Trying to deny it didn't stop it, though, and he could only twist around and writhe as he felt the increasing weight on his chest.
The breasts growing on Cloud's chest was obvious enough but that wasn't the only major change happening right now. There was also something going on down below and Cloud winced and squirmed as he felt something weird happening with his dick. He couldn't describe exactly what it felt like beyond strange and he couldn't even see what was going on with it, either. The smock hid it from view and he was pretty glad for that. He would still rather it stopped, though.
Especially because he was certain that he knew what was going on. Cloud shook his head back and forth and rocked as much as he could in the chair but breaking free of it was still completely and utterly impossible for him to manage. He couldn't do a single thing about the tight grip that he was trapped in and he only tired himself out as he tried to escape. And had to take deeper breaths of the gas.
It didn't and Cloud could only moan and groan as his body changed as the gas kept on pouring into the cell. And as whatever liquid was in the syringes kept on changing his body and making whatever this was happen. He couldn't say for sure where this was going to end.
Cloud could feel himself- herself shrinking, some of his height and muscle mass vanishing. The way that felt was very unappealing but at least it didn't rise to the point of actually being painful. Cloud still gritted her teeth as she felt herself shifting, inside and out, as this happened.
There were some other changes happening as well, though Cloud was less concerned about them than what was happening to her crotch and her chest. She could feel herself getting lifted up a bit from the seat as her rear expanded, getting pretty big as she rocked back and forth on top of it. And her face tingled a bit as well as it kept on subtly changing, lips getting plump as Cloud squirmed around some more.
And Cloud's breasts kept on growing and growing and growing. She shivered as she stared at the mounds. They weren't as large as Tifa's were but they were still pretty big and they hadn't finished yet.
While lower down, something had finished. Cloud whimpered as she felt an emptiness inside of her, a lack of weight. Her hands tugged at the restraints but it was impossible for her to reach down and check to see just what had happened to her and what kind of situation she was in right now, just what she looked like down there. Cloud's imagination was providing enough of an answer anyway, she almost didn't need to check.
A portion of the wall slid away and Cloud could look at herself. It took a long moment for her to focus and actually study her reflection in the mirror. She looked at herself, taking in just what she looked like now.
Her breasts were big enough to be really obvious underneath the smock that she was wearing. And her thighs looked pretty thigh as well, though it was a lot harder to see them. As for her face, Cloud thought that she looked pretty cute! Lots of spiky blonde hair and a face that was just absolutely adorable.
Cloud giggled at the sight of herself and then kept on laughing, finding it difficult to stop. The giggles eventually trailed off on their own, though she had done nothing about them one way or the other. She lolled in her chair, weakly tugging at the restrains and not really expecting to do anything about them.
Then she growled, rocking back and forth as much as she could. Which did just as little to get her free as laughing had. She could only pant as the needles started to withdraw from her arms, even as the gas kept on hissing and filling the room. She could still smell the chemical stink of it and shivered as she had to breathe it in some more. Cloud looked back and forth and then down at her body, seeing what she looked like now. And felt like.
She felt very strange right now and she just wasn't sure how to describe what she was feeling. She shifted in the chair as much as she could, feeling like the smock was pressing against her in new, different ways that were really strange and uncomfortable. Or maybe just strange. The more that Cloud waited, the more that she started to feel like the smock actually felt kind of nice on her. She shifted from side to side, feeling the fabric pressing against her. It was strange, mostly. All of this was just so strange.
The door to the small room hissed open and some man in a lab coat stepped in. Cloud had never seen him before and just stared up, trying to get her act together enough to say something. Nothing really came to mind and she just swallowed as she watched the man fasten another set of cuffs to her arms, this pair with a cable running between them.
"Alright, up you get," the man said, stepping backwards. The latches clinked open and Cloud was free to stand upright, looking around as she stood up. "This way, there's still more to be done."
Cloud felt like she should resist that, that going along with what the science department wanted was a very bad idea. But her head was still feeling awfully funny and she found herself just stumbling along after the man, blinking on confusion as she got used to the strange way that her body demanded that she walk in now. More of a roll to her hips than she was used to, for one. Very strange, very strange indeed.
Cloud let herself get led out of the room, into the dark confines of the science department. Her bare feet pressed against the metal floor and she winced as she followed the man along. Her head was still spinning and she was feeling far from the top of her game. If she just got a moment or two to rest and get herself together, she thought that she would be able to get out of here, go and do something or other.
Find out where they were keeping her sword and her materia, for instance. Cloud thought that it might be really, really good to get her hands on all of that again. She dazedly looked around but couldn't see it as the man in the white coat led her through the halls before finally pushing her into another room. It was bigger than the last one had been but it was still pretty small.
"What's this?" Cloud asked, her voice soft and quiet as she looked around at the strange furniture filling it all. "Huh?"
"Don't you worry about that," the man said, giving her a pat on the shoulder. "This is just going to finish the process. Make you the way we want you to be."
Cloud started to back up, out of the open door and into the hallway. The man glanced over his shoulder and sighed before reaching out and grabbing the chain that ran between the two cuffs still wrapped around her arms.
"None of that," he said with a tsking sound. "You wouldn't want to stop science from being done, would you?"
"Yes," Cloud said, the thought so obvious that it was easily able to cut through the fog that was filling her mind. "I really do!"
The man seemed to think that she was joking about that and just laughed. He tugged Cloud forward and she ended up sprawled over some kind of stool that forced her legs apart. She started to rise up from it but some cuffs snapped into place around her ankles and that brought her back down with a grunt. She shook her head back and forth as she stared up at the man as he grabbed the chain connecting her cuffs and attached them to a hook at the front of this padded bench or stool or whatever it was that Cloud was on.
"Alright, now, the subject is secured so what's next," the man said, turning and grabbing a clipboard off the wall. "Knowledge extraction is not required and instead just needs an overwrite for testing out Experimental Materia One Five Seven. Got it."
"What does that mean?" Cloud asked as she wiggled around some more, just as uselessly as before. She felt a lot less strong than she had, too.
"It means that a secretary offered her services in exchange for getting two month's pay at once," the man said in a distracted tone as he crossed over to a far wall and popped open a case. "And now we're going to implant those skills that we took from her into you." He frowned as he lifted up a Materia from the case, a light blue one that was a bit smaller than the military types that Cloud often used. "And hopefully we'll be able to reuse this after you've learned from it." He flashed Cloud a smile. "And even if it doesn't work, at least we'll have a few more ideas about what Materia can and can't do, hm?"
"Mm!" Cloud shook her head back and forth. That sounded a bit better than what she had been worried about but it still wasn't something that she liked the thought of. She drew backwards, though with this padded bench, there wasn't anywhere that she could go. "What's that going to do to me?"
"If things go well, you'll be a perfect little secretary devoted to Shinra," the man said with a smile that turned into a leer as he kept on looking at Cloud. "And don't you just have the perfect body to take some dictation, huh?"
He reached down and grabbed Cloud's breasts, squeezing them through the smock. Cloud gasped and recoiled, the sheer shock of it almost as surprising as anything else going on right now. She stared up at the man as he smirked, not seeming to feel anything wrong in what he had just done.
"A, a secretary? I don't know anything about being a secretary," Cloud protested.
"Wow, that treatment really did do a number on you, didn't it?" The man asked, patting Cloud on top of her head. "That's what this Materia is going to do for you, dummy. Something a lot more useful than knowing how to throw fireballs around, too."
Cloud stared at the round, glowing orb as it was tossed from hand to hand as the man looked down at her. She swallowed hard, not sure she liked where this was going. Actually, she knew that she didn't like where this was going and she hadn't liked any of it for quite a while now. It was still happening, though, and she was still helpless to do anything about it. Anything at all.
'Now, just you relax and we'll fit this Materia right inside of you," the scientist said with a smirk. "A really firm fitting that won't possibly come out."
Cloud didn't like the way that he said that. There was a really worrisome smirk on his face right now as he went over to a workbench against one wall and started to do something or other there. Cloud craned her head and then got to work on rocking back and forth on the padded bench, trying to rip it free from the screws fastening it in place.
That didn't work out so well. Or at all, really. Cloud grunted and worked and did the best that she could and it just didn't manage anything at all. She was eventually forced to call it quits as she came to a halt, panting heavily as the man turned back around.
"There," he said with a smile as Cloud's jaw dropped. "This should stay inside of you quite nicely for a while. Long enough to see if you can absorb skills and knowledge innate to a normal human instead of the more esoterical stuff like water spells."
Cloud was barely listening to that. She was far more focused on the dildo that the man was carrying. It had to be one, it was pink and a smooth cylinder with a rounded top made out of the Materia, firmly nestled into the shaft.
"No way," Cloud said with a shake of her head. "There's just no way I can do that!"
"Not only can you do it but you will be doing it," the man said, setting it down on the end of the bench in a small socket that Cloud had earlier noticed but then ignored. "After all, it's for the benefit of all mankind."
He said that but with how they were positioned, his crotch was right in front in front of Cloud's face. And she could see just what kind of enjoyment he was taking out of this. She drew her head back as far as it could go and glared up at the man. He just stared back at her, not seeming to see anything wrong with what he was doing.
"Now, let's get you up there and filled," he said, giving Cloud's ass a firm squeeze. "The sooner we start, the sooner we can finish, right?"
That wasn't much of an inducement to Cloud and she shook her head back and forth at the idea. The man sighed and went behind Cloud. He grabbed onto her hips (and copped a feel of her ass) and then lifted her upwards.
If Cloud, even in this new state, had been asked to lift someone weighing as much as she did, she really wouldn't have had a problem with it. This guy, though, was grunting loudly as he struggled to move Cloud the few inches forward and up that was needed.
Cloud certainly wasn't helping him, of course, but it was still pretty pathetic that he had this much trouble. Rather than comment on that, though, she was instead extremely distracted by the sensation of the dildo sliding inside of her as she was very quickly lowered down onto the rod.
Cloud squealed and lurched forward and upwards. That didn't manage all that much, not with this thing still buried so deep inside of her. She gasped as she felt the rod shifting inside of her. It was a very, very strange feeling, completely unlike anything that Cloud had ever been through before. Her eyes went wide as she tried to cope with this sensation, tried to get used to it. She really couldn't manage it and rocked back and forth some more, shaking her head from side to side.
"Okay, this whole system will obviously need some reworking to suit noncompliant subjects," the man said as he walked back in front of Cloud. "Ow," he added, rubbing his shoulders with his hands. "Still…"
He squatted down in front of Cloud and studied her. Cloud stared back, her eyes wide as she tried to lift herself up off of the dildo. No matter what she tried, though, it seemed like she couldn't get the final few centimeters needed to get clear. All doing this really managed was making herself fuck herself on the toy, over and over again.
Which was a surprisingly good feeling, of course, but not one that she really wanted to feel or to think about too much. Instead, she glared at the man, who seemed completely unbothered by the expression on Cloud's face.
"Well, that's a good start," he said, lifting up the smock to see the pink dildo that was buried inside of Cloud. "Now let's see how long it takes before you start feeling really good from this."
"I won't," Cloud promised, sinking down along the shaft and blushing as she felt how it was stretching her out, how it was filling her up and making her feel very strange indeed. "That's impossible."
The man just laughed and stepped back, running his eyes back and forth over Cloud as she kept on having to go up and down along the toy. Cloud blushed as she realized what she was doing and tried to get herself to stop. And she did. At least for a while. But then her body started moving on its own once more, slowly riding the dildo and feeling it pushing in and out of her pussy over and over again.
Cloud breathed deeply as she felt that happening, shaking her head back and forth and trying to deny what she was feeling right now. There were plenty of reasons to not do this and she didn't have a single good reason to keep on bouncing along the toy.
And yet, she kept on doing that again and again anyway, constantly stopping herself from doing that only to start back up once again. She blushed as the man watching her laughed, able to see everything that she was doing.
It really was feeling good, too. Her new pussy seemed to really like this sensation, to really enjoy being able to wrap itself around a hard shaft like this. What that might say about Cloud's future was something that she didn't want to think about at all. Just absolutely refuse to consider any detail of it.
Though not thinking about it wouldn't keep it from happening, Cloud knew. She could feel herself getting more and more aroused from this and the way that arousal felt was so very different from what she had used to feel. The heated sensation inside of her, the wetness, it was all very strange and it made her feel just so- like something that she didn't want to put words to.
And even as that was happening, there were other things affecting Cloud as well. She could feel, deep inside of her head, some strangeness, some itching, twitching, funny sensations that made her swallow hard as she tried to cope with them. That was really unlike anything else that she had ever felt before and she winced as she tried to cope with it all, tried to deal with what she was feeling as she kept on getting caught up in the swirling tide of it all.
The strange sensations inside of Cloud's head were slowly starting to form into something more… useful. Something that she could actually make sense of. How to file paperwork in the correct manner, for instance. And what kind of makeup looked best on a woman with a different skin color, facial structure and hair than Cloud had.
Cloud winced, realizing that the Materia really was working and that it really was informing her of the skills that had been bound up in it. And it was only going to continue as Cloud kept on riding along the dildo before making herself stop, only to start up again very, very soon.
Cloud could feel the heat and the wetness growing and growing inside of her. It all felt so strange and weird and it just wasn't something that she was at all used to. But she could tell how good it was feeling. How much she was enjoying all of this and how she gasped and whimpered as she kept on rising up and down along the rod, over and over again.
The man watching her was really liking what he was seeing. He didn't actually have his dick out but he was constantly rubbing it through his pants as he stared down at her. And Cloud could see just how aroused he was right now as he kept on staring at her with this hungry, hungry expression on his face.
And the information kept on flowing into Cloud's mind, making her knowledge of how to be a good office worker more and more complete. In fact, it was starting to drown out the other things that she knew, everything else that she could try her hand at in life. She moaned, shaking her head from side to side and trying to dismiss these visions or whatever they might be called as they kept on filling her mind.
"Good, good, I can see that it's working," the man said, though what he was basing that off of, Cloud had no idea at all. He was just staring down at her breasts as she rose and fell along the toy, making them bounce inside of the ugly smock as she worked. "Oh yes, this will get me plenty of funding and respect."
Cloud tried to think of a good comeback to that but she was far too distracted right now to actually say anything but a moan. Her mouth was hanging open as she kept on going, going, going, sliding up and down along the rod time and time again. Each time made her shiver and twitch as she felt the dildo sliding against her inner walls, rubbing against herself and making her feel awfully good.
"Oh," Cloud moaned, less and less willing, never mind able, to stop herself from riding this toy and feeling it moving inside of her. "Oh man. Oh boy!"
"Oh baby would be the logical third part of that," the man said, laughing at his joke even as Cloud felt too confused to really make sense of it. "More importantly, it's obviously working." He patted Cloud's shoulder. "Just a little while longer and then we can get started on the next phase."
Cloud had no idea at all what the next phase might be. Then she glanced at how he was rubbing his crotch and she got an idea. The next phase would probably involve the door being locked and any recording devices in here turned off, huh?
Cloud thought that she really shouldn't like that idea. That she should find it horrible and awful and all that stuff. But the heat was flowing out from her belly and filling her up now and it was just so hard to make herself actually accept that as a bad thing. The thought of that man's hands on her, never mind the other body parts that he would probably be using, was something that she knew she should find a lot worse of an idea than she actually did. But as it was, Cloud just blushed and kept on bouncing along the toy as it kept on filling her up and stretching her out and making her feel all of the many, many things that she was feeling as she kept on doing this.
And as for what Cloud was thinking, right now she was very focused on how a woman like her should dress for an office job. And what she should do if her male coworkers were attracted to her. And how to use Shinra' inventory management system to make sure that the office supplies stayed well-stocked. And plenty of other things that she had never thought about before but seemed more and more like something that she should be completely familiar with.
An orgasm slammed through Cloud. It was so strong and so strange that at first she didn't even know what it was. It was only when it was halfway done that she could put the pieces together and she was still very distracted and feeling very, very good as she moaned, rocking back and forth on top of the toy as it stayed buried inside of her.
Cloud could only pant as she felt her body burning with this lust. It was just so much and it was just so good. So amazingly good as she felt it happening inside of her. She mewled and moaned and her hips rolled back and forth as she felt this heat pouring through her.
The scientist was saying something but Cloud couldn't really focus on that. She was just too absorbed in sagging down around the dildo and panting heavily as she felt herself continue to shiver and shake in the afterglow of the orgasm. That had been so different from what a penis felt like and she… Cloud rolled her hips back and forth some more. And she really wouldn't mind if she got to feel that again.
Though only if she could do some office work as well. Doing a good job of that felt really, really important to Cloud and she felt kind of twitch and impatient that she couldn't get up and get to it. She rocked back and forth in her bonds and looked up at the doctor as he loomed over her.
"I think we can call this a major success," he said with a smile, getting a quick feel in on her boobs. "But I think some more testing is in order."
Cloud might be feeling kind of dazed and confused right now but she wasn't so loopy she didn't know what that meant!
