CRK CRINKLE CLRK

Tomi watches from afar as Calyir climbs up the side of Ami's bloated diaper, the city-sized pamp taking up the entirety of the crater where the city currently filling out its crinkly mass once was. The supervisor has quite the walk to reach the little cub, sitting on top of the mountainous mess.

Once she reaches Ami, she carefully pulls her out of the diaper and wipes her down with a baby wipe. She carefully scrubs down every inch and crevice from a little higher than Ami's knees up to her waist. The cub giggles as the supervisor makes sure her little body is all cleaned up from her big mess. Calyir then tapes a new pamp in place before grabbing onto the cub and activating the DDU on her hip. 

With the device set to the lowest setting, the pair descend as the crinkly ground beneath them disappears, sucked into the hammerspace disposal unit. They sink down to the bottom of the crater, and Calyir's paws hit the ground as the last of the diaper vanishes. With the diaper finally disposed of, there remains no trace of the city of Algernon.

The supervisor motions to Tomi, who hops in their escape vehicle to ride down to them, mainly to spare Calyir the walking, with how hyperactive Ami is. It perhaps isn't the most responsible thing to let a child operate a vehicle, but Tomi isn't the one she's meant to watch anyway, and the two troublemakers have proven capable of handling themselves.

"This is the best field trip ever, Miss Calyir!" Ami says gleefully as the golf cart slowly makes its way to what used to be many feet below the heart of the city, "There's so much tasty food to eat!"

"I'm glad you're having fun, sweetie," Calyir replies, "Tomi seems to be enjoying herself, too."

"Weeeeeeee!" Tomi yells between giggles as she approaches, skidding to a stop a few feet past the two.

"Alright, hop on," Calyir prompts Ami as Tomi scoots over to let the supervisor into the driver's seat. Once they're situated, the group takes off again.

The golf cart's motor strains as Calyir runs it up the edge of the crater, Ami sitting on the back kicking her little legs gleefully. The sides of the massive hole Ami left in the ground are steep enough to cause it some trouble. "Ugh, crap..." Calyir presses the pedal all the way down, but the small vehicle reaches an impasse two thirds of the way up the steepening slope.

Suddenly, the cart jerks forward and begins to move once more. Calyir is stunned to find its motor suddenly achieving such power before she turns and realizes Ami has gotten bored of waiting and is pushing the cart up to ground level herself.

Ami doesn't return to her seat on the back when she gets the vehicle out of the crater, preferring to toddle along with it, ever full of energy.

"Well, where to now? You're sorta leading the trip at this point," Calyir asks.

"Hmmm..." Ami scans the landscape. Some miles away, she spies a mountain reaching skyward, a shimmering pool at its foot visible as just a glimmer on the horizon. "I'm thirsty!" she says, pointing toward the mountain and the lake.

Ami doesn't wait for a response before she starts to wander off toward it, and with an affectionate sigh, Calyir follows behind.

The little lion soon notices the golf cart carrying her friends lagging behind. Not wanting to separate from them but unable to contain her youthful energy, she begins quite literally toddling circles around the moving vehicle, that is until something catches her eye.

"Keep going! Be there soon!" Ami says, motioning for Calyir to continue toward the lake. As the golf cart speeds away, Ami hurries over to an oil well placed on the side of the road. She recalls how the oil tanker she'd eaten before had tasted, so she decides to have another taste while she has the chance.

CRREAAAAAAK GULP

The cub rips the metal arm off of the pumpjack and quickly devours it without a second thought. As her belly rapidly processes it, she gets down on the ground and begins sucking up oil, using the well like a giant silly straw.

GULP GULP GULP

For several minutes, the ravenous little cub sucks oil from the ground, filling up her belly beneath her until it gets so large she's vertical to the ground, face down to reach the well. Ultimately, she ends up rolling forward unintentionally, her full belly now atop her, and she instead moves her attention to playing with her big, full belly as it processes the liquid gold.

GRRRRGGGLE GLRRRFGGG

When she's finished, she's left lying on her back, giggling from her play. She suddenly recalls the lake, though, and hops back to her feet to race that direction.

Ami catches up to the golf cart less than a quarter mile from the lake. Before Calyir is even able to park, Ami has already made her way to the shore, where she bends over to slurp up the water.

SHLRRP SHLRRRFP GLRRK

The water line gradually recedes downward as the cub downs the lake. It isn't a small one, either, over a hundred miles across, stretching off into the distance past the mountain. As the water disappears down Ami's gullet, filling up her belly that she slides over the front of to keep her maw to the waterline, everything in the lake is naturally drawn toward her. Buoys, boats, gazelles out for a  swim, they all filter toward Ami's hungry maw in an unstoppable current.

GULP

Ami takes in an entire jet ski along with its driver, forcibly steered toward her by the vanishing water, leaving the tow line with a parasailing gazelle attached to lead directly into her stomach. She slurps it down like a big noodle, and the parasailor is quickly swallowed down as well.

GULLK SCHLRRP SCHLRRRFK

The water soon begins to escape Ami as more of the vessels out on the lake grow closer. The cub begins to crawl with only her hands, her torso and legs up above her resting on her belly. She moves along downward to keep up with the fleeing waterline.

ULP GULK GLKRK

As she continues to single-handedly drain the lake, Ami intakes a dozen more vessels and the like. A father and son out on a fishing trip, a dozen buoys marking off private property, a sailboat, a whole floating party of over a dozen gazelles in inner tubes, all gone down helplessly one by one. The cub swallows them all into the growing lake in her belly to melt them down.

The cub's belly soon reaches an equilibrium as it processes the water and packs it away into her bladder just as quickly as she swallows more, leaving its cubic mile of volume as its peak size. Ami approaches the end of her thirst and the lake, gradually moving to the deepest part of it, when the final vessel comes into view.

The SCS Antilopini is a mighty cargo ship. She measures half a kilometer long, her deck stacked with containers of cargo, most of it formerly bound for Algernon. It's been commotion aboard the proud ship ever since the city's sudden voracious destruction, cargo valued in the millions now lacking a destination.

None of this means much to Ami, of course. What others would see as precious cargo, the cub sees as a charcuterie board, and one she certainly isn't passing up.

Metal creaks and waves crash as the cub lifts the ship in all its hundreds of thousands of tons directly out of the water with her grubby little hands. 

GULP ULK GKLLK GLRRK

She tilts it up and lets the containers on board tumble down to her waiting maw, which stretches out wide to accommodate them. She's rolled back to the other side of her gut for this maneuver, and its cubic mile of volume is about to get a lot bigger. Rectangular indents jut out from her belly's sides and gradually soften as the shipping containers pile in. Hundreds of containers land themselves in her stomach, and all of them churn up in her unstoppable gut.

As soon as the cub is finished with the containers, she opens her maw even wider to take in the ship itself. She doesn't devour it all at once, letting it fill her gut and melt away little by little as the entirety of it sinks into her stomach then disappears into her colon.

The titanic rudders vanish, and Ami's lips close. The lake is nothing more than an empty stretch of water now, and only a small portion of its previous size.

GWRRRGGGLEE GLRRRRFGG SLOSH

Once Ami's gut has processed its latest meal, the cub resolves to finish the lake entirely. Resuming her previous routine as though nothing happened, she reaches the deepest part of the once great body of water, and the last of it disappears.

HUUUOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPHHHHHHHH

Ami lets out a belch that travels up the sides of the crater that was once a lake, retaining enough force to flatten trees as it escapes it. She lets out a little giggle, "Well I'm quenched!"

GLRRRGGGLE GLORSH

The little lion basks in the feeling as she rubs over her gargantuan belly and lets it shrink back down. Her ceaseless gut doesn't take long to process it all, then the insatiable pred is right back up on her feet.

She toddles back to the golf cart across the damp former lake bed. On her way there, she again eyes the forested mountain, its glistening mirror now packed away in her little body. It almost reminds her of a giant Toblerone piece.

GRRRRRWWWWW

When Ami arrives back to Tomi and Calyir, her tummy is already growling with hunger.

"Glad I wasn't planning on swimming today!" Tomi says playfully as her friend returns.

Ami giggles like this is the funniest thing in the world, though only for a moment. Her desire to devour more never leaves her mind for long.

Calyir looks across the landscape. There aren't many structures nearby, just the natural landscape dotted with the occasional cabin. "So what now? There isn't anything to eat out here, even for a ravenous cub like you."

"Nuh uh!" Ami says, pointing toward the mountain.

"...Yeah, that tracks," Calyir responds as she puts together Ami's plan.

It's a decent trip from the far shore of the lake all the way to the mountain. Though the drive to the lake was less than an hour even pacing herself to the golf cart's speed, the mere thought of another, albeit shorter, trip like that bores Ami. It's too long to not be doing or eating anything.

Getting an idea, she grabs hold of Calyir with one hand and Tomi with the other. She plops them down on top of her stretched, empty belly like a gurgly water bed, Clayir clinging to the belly and Tomi clinging to Calyir. "Ami, sweetie, I don't think this is-"

Ami takes off toward the mountain, toddling along at full speed. It's all her companions can do to hold on as the cub barrels toward her next meal.

The thing about mountains is there isn't exactly a definitive point where the mountain ends and the ground begins. The ground just starts to slope up, and eventually you're on a mountain. Once Ami starts to venture onto the upward-sloping ground, she runs along for almost a half mile before reaching terrain steep enough for her to decidedly consider herself on the mountain.

She pauses for a moment, her companions' cue to hurriedly disembark her abdominal bulge.

The two back up to what they're comfortable assuming is a safe distance, though with Ami it's really never possible to be certain. They behold from their many paces away the cub opening her maw against the ground. Her mouth stretches out over the terrain, forests and cliffs and earth and all finding themselves in her cheeks.

OMPHF- GULP

The cub takes a massive bite out of the mountain, in much the same way she'd devoured the city prior. Her bite is a mile in diameter and as clean as if she were biting into a block of pudding. Then, all at once, her neck bulges out, then her gut as she swallows the massive stretch of land entirely.

GLRRRGGGLLEE GLORP

Ami's ravenous gut gurgles the mass of earth down to nothing but future diaper filler packed tight into her colon. In a few short moments, the enormous mass is digested entirely, her belly back down to its normal size.

She takes a brief jog over a mile around the mountain to find another appetizing bite to eat of it.

NOUMPHF- ULP

Another huge portion of the landmass is devoured in one gigantic bite, a densely forested region with countless trees, almost painterly. To Ami, though, it looks more like the artistry of a chef than a painter.

GRRRGGGGGLEEE GWRRRGGGG

Not wanting to slow down, the cub leans forward over her bloated gut, rolling across the entire mile stretch within her belly to start on her next bite before she's even finished digesting the last.

Half a mile away from the ravenous little girl, a group of hikers walk along a trail. Visiting this mountain pathway is an annual tradition for the four friends, and they chat happily amongst themselves as they walk.

"Can't believe it's been eight years since we first met out here," one of the gazelles says.

"Yeah... Crazy to think about. It was lucky, meeting you; after all, I haven't met anyone so lovely on this trail since," another flirts in response.

"You two lovebirds," replies another friend amusedly, "When we get to the cabin, you two can claim whichever bed creaks the least."

"Gross, Damien," the fourth replies to the implications of her friend's comment. She stops and pulls a camera from her bag, "How about a picture? This seems about the usual spot we take one."

Murmurs of agreement come from the group, and the gazelles all begin to gather around as the photographer of the group mounts a tripod on the trail.

OUMPHF-

As the four are smiling awkwardly for the camera, their expressions suddenly shift to confusion then fear as the world around them goes dark. From where they're standing, there's really no way to tell that it's the maw of a hungry cub overtaking the trail, blocking out the planet's star. 

GULP

There's no chance for them to put it together as one enormous gulp sends them all into Ami's stomach, along with a wide stretch of the very trail they're on. They tumble down in the avalanche of a meal, never to be seen again.

GWRRRRGGGGGLE

The gazelles only barely register to Ami as a nice bit of flavor, like a few tiny flecks of spice on an otherwise unseasoned meal. They quickly pass from her mind as she focuses on stuffing her maw with more of the mountain.

NOUMPH OMPGH

She's worked her way a fair distance distance up the mountain by now, and as she engulfs another portion of the landscape, complete with an entire log cabin vanishing into her gullet, her upper jaw reaches less than a half mile from the summit.

GULP SLORSH GLRRRRGGGGGLE

The cub doesn't slow down on her voracious ascent as she devours the cabin and a wide stretch around it. She slides over her belly up toward the summit, a flag planted proudly at its peak.

Ami opens her maw wide, leaning up towards it, and with one swift motion, she devours the entire summit, flag and all.

HOUMPHF-

Her enormous bite drops the peak several places on the list of Solara's tallest mountains. If anything, it's starting to resemble a plateau.

GULP GLRRRGGGLE GLRRRFFFF

Ami huffs with satisfaction, the mountain beneath her already greatly shaved down. She takes a brief moment to breathe and enjoy the view from so high up.

Treads and wheels and hooves traverse the ground miles below. Military forces impend upon the slope of the mountain, nearing the steepest point their machines can handle. Tanks and APCs settle into formation, and troops gather around them. An entire battalion has arrived to combat the voracious pred, Solara's finest general heading the operation.

"Fire! Give it all you've got! For Algernon!" a gazelle with a very fancy hat and uniform barks into a walkie talkie. In an instant, gunfire and artillery shells launch into the air with intense blasts, all aimed directly at the cub atop the mountain.

Calyir exchanges a glance with Tomi at the sound of the attack, echoing across what really might be more of a hill at this point. It's the first time Calyir has felt at all concerned for Ami.

"Whas that sound? Is Ami alright?" Tomi asks, tugging on Calyir's shirt.

"I, uhm- not sure... Ami will be alright, though. She's a tough cookie." Calyir is less than certain of her words, but nothing's slowed Ami down yet.

Atop the mountain, Ami's bloated gut shakes and jiggles as the projectiles impact it. The cub giggles incessantly, seemingly very tickled by this. She rolls around on her gut, laughing and squirming as the focus fire bounces harmlessly off her belly.

After some time, her belly shrinks as the military begins to run low on ammunition from the amount they've expended. Not paying them any particular mind, Ami decides when her gut finally shrinks back down that it's a good time to finish off her mountainous meal, and so she gets down on the ground and begins to stretch her maw out over it from what remains of its peak.

The militant gazelles watch in horror as the sky goes dark above them. APCs and jeeps turn and flee at speed, each only carrying a few passengers in their drivers' haste, a few more soldiers clinging desperately to the outside. The ravenous maw of the cub overtakes them, too, however, expanding over the entire mountain and only stopping at its foot, her expanded lips inches away from the toes of Tomi and Calyir.

GULP

The land before Tomi and Calyir is stripped away all at once with one powerful swallow, leaving an immense crater perfectly filled by Ami's massive belly.

GURRRRGLE GLRRRRGGGG

As the mountain digests inside of her, Ami feels something strange beneath her belly. There's something down there that's wriggling, and it's something big.

When the mountain melts away and is compacted into Ami's colon, she finds herself sitting on something big and scaly. It's an enormous tail, like a snake's, coiling around and leading to the torso of a macro human.

The giant naga thrashes and flails its tail, screaming at the sky, "After a thousand years of slumber, I am freed! Say your prayers, Solara, for I-"

She's cut off as she feels something warm on the tip of her tail. She looks down to see Ami's maw wrapped firmly around it. "What are-"

As far as the little lion is concerned, the naga is an enormous spaghetti noodle. And spaghetti, of course, is one of her favorite foods, alongside everything else in the material universe.

SCHLLRRK GLK ULP

"That's not funny- Get off- Stop!" As the tip of the naga's tail disappears into the little girl's belly, more and more of her body joining it inside, the creature's confusion turns to fear.

GULP GLRK SCHLLRRRPHF

Ami is relentless as she gulps the creature down, reaching the quarter way mark on the monster. The tail grows wider and wider the farther along Ami goes, and her body only continues to stretch to fit it all inside. The naga uses her massive hands to push against the little girl, like trying to remove a particularly stubborn sock, but Ami doesn't budge an inch.

SCHLRRFK GLRRFK ULRRK GRRRRGGGGLE

The monster thrashes desperately as Ami gets half of her serpentine body into her belly, horrified by the thought that her coiling tail may become a coil in the little girl's diaper. The cub only giggles with her mouth more than full, making her way up the entire length of the creature.

GULP ULP SCHRLRRFK GLK

The naga scrabbles at the ground with her fingers, leaving giant trenches where she tries in desperation to crawl away, Ami already at her hips, but her efforts are in vain. The cub works her way up the naga's body until she finally slurps down her arms and settles down beside her giant gut.

GRRRRGGGGGLE GLRRSH SLOSH

The feeling of the giant creature struggling, squirming, writhing inside of her gut is one Ami has never felt anything like. Normally everything this big that she gets in her belly is inanimate, not a very alive and very unhappy snake monster.

Ami breathes heavily and basks in the feeling as Calyir and Tomi watch from afar. Tomi goes to move toward her friend, but Calyir holds her back. "Careful, now; she has a whole mountain loaded in the chamber. You don't want to get too close until she's let it out."

GLRRRFG GLRRG GRRRRWWWWRRRGGGGLLLE

As her gut fights to settle the naga into it, the monster slowly losing strength inside of her, a great deal of trapped gas is disturbed throughout her body, and in two powerful blasts, it's released.

UUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPP PFFFFFFRRRRRRRBLFFFFRRRRFFFFFTTTT

Her belch and flatulence release successive shockwaves that sweep across the landscape in all directions, uprooting trees, sending nearby buildings airborne, and putting Calyir and Tomi into a tumble. Calyir holds Tomi close to her body and curls around her to protect her from the brunt of it; she's winded and has a couple bruises by the time they come to a stop but is otherwise no worse for wear.

GLRRRFFGGGGG

By the time the dust settles following Ami passing gas, the naga has grown still in her gut. Her stomach dutifully churns away at her, shrinking down as it had with every meal prior. Soon, she's left sitting in an empty crater, the only sign anything had been there before a distinct pressure in her bowels.

FBLRRLBFRRRTTT BLRRRFFFBLRRRT CRK BLRRFFRRT FBLRR BLRRGHFTTTTT GHLRRRFFFFT CRINKLE FSHSHHHHHHHHSHHHHHH

Ami gets the feeling almost as though she were in a rocket as her diaper expands beneath her, lifting her upward back toward where the peak of the mountain had been. The crinkly, filthy mass begins to fill in the crater where the mountain once was.

FFFSHSHSHHSHHHHHSFSHSHHHHHHHHHHH BLRRRBLFRRT CRK FHSHSHHHHHSHHHHHHH

The mountain isn't the only geographical feature waiting to be let out as waste. The water from the lake is released in a torrent of urine that cascades through the diaper, soaking deep into the thick walls of padding and causing the pamp to expand more and more.

FBFLRBRLRRRTTT BLRRRFFFT PFFRRRBLRRRRT LGLLRGRBBLLLRRT CRINK

The mountain, the lake, the cargo ship, the battalion, the naga's remains, all of it comes out to fill the diaper in one homogeneous mass, a mass that lifts Ami higher and higher and higher. As her colon empties and her bladder runs dry, she finds herself even higher than the former mountain peak, sitting on a pamp visible for miles and miles around, fit to be a geographical landmark in and of itself.

The little cub simply laughs and kicks her legs about on top of the diaper, a crinkly expanse around her giving way to sky and distant landscape. She's content to sit and enjoy herself and her voracious accomplishments until Calyir finally arrives to the base of the giant pamp to change her.

"Well, I didn't bring any climbing gear today, so..." Calyir improvises. She begins to suck up the pamp with her DDU at a modest speed, causing Ami to descend as her seat vanishes into the hammerspace pail. Once nearly all of it is gone, Ami is left right in front of Calyir, her butt still attached to the last of the diaper hanging out of the stopped DDU.

CRINKLE CRK

Calyir removes Ami from the pamp, disposes of the last of it, then changes her into a fresh diaper with a practiced speed and precision.

"Goodness, you," Calyir says playfully, "You've sure been busy today. Think you're done now?"

"Mmmmm... Nope!" Ami says, looking toward the ocean on the distant horizon.

"Hm? There isn't much more to eat anywhere nearby, sweetie," Calyir responds.

Ami only points to the ocean, "Had a big meal! Thirsty!"

Calyir sees the shining waves in the distance and realizes what Ami means. Not one to tell her no, she braces herself for a bumpy ride to the coast. "Well, alright, then."

Tomi jumps onto Ami's bloated belly as though she were belly flopping into a pool, "Let's go!"

Calyir chuckles a little in amusement. Her long shift isn't over yet.
