Zazu is your average, small weakling. Not my words but it has been said and uttered by Simba and many of African animals from all around. Zazu never minded it much at first but now it starts bringing down little by little the more someone speaks ill of his size as he soars through the desert on his own for minutes on end. He would speak to Rafiki about it every so often but even the old baboon couldn't help but mess with the poor bird and make fun of his stature. After seeing someone such as Simba grow into a strong, powerful lion, he was starting to wish he could grow big someday. If only there was a way...
Before he knew it, the hornbill was starting to tire himself out, not realizing how long he had be adrift in the sky. "Oh dear... How long have I been flying for?", he pants. He immediately dives and lands safely underneath a marula tree. The poor bird needed to quench his thirst quick before he passes out. He hops around on his talons a bit scouring for a small pond of any kind. No such thing came to be until... "What in heaven's...?"
The next thing he notices was a miniature pond, but there was something really off with it. He decides to leap down and land closer in front of it. Not only was it smaller than any pond he came across, it was looking rather...purplish. And no this is not because it was nearly sundown. "What is with water?" He takes a quick look around. "Should I even drink from this?" Zazu's mind kept telling him 'no' but his dehydrated body kept telling him 'yes'. "Hm... Maybe one sip couldn't hurt. I am really thirsty you know.", he remarks, as if he were speaking to someone else.
The hornbill bird gently dips his beak into the pond and takes a quick sip, worried it might have tasted horrible. But to his surprise... "My word...! That was really good!" Zazu dips his beak in again, even using his feather palms to help slurp more down until he felt full. The quenched avian sits down firmly on his bottom, thinking about the wonderful agua he guzzled down in his bouncy belly. "That was quite tasty. If I do say so myself.", he chuckles.
Then, completely out of nowhere, he starts to feel his body shaking. His belly balloon seemed to have disappeared in an instant, lengthening out at least two feet! He looks at his shaking feathers, which elongate the same amount as well. His tiny legs soon sprouted outwards and gained two-and-a-half feet more in length just like the rest of his body. "Oh my!", the hornbill squawks, unable to fathom what the heck just happened to his body. He took at his arms and legs, which had no muscle tone, but made him look like a bird mixed with human attributes. "Did...that pond have something to do with this...?", he muttered, glancing down at the purplish pond.
He inches closer to see his reflection in the water. What he sees next surprises him even more! His next muscles started clench, forming out some chiseled features as his traps splay out on his shoulders. "M-my neck!", Zazu screams, completely oblivious to the fact his voice had just grown deep and more masculine. Suddenly his shoulders were beginning to twinge. As his neck widens, his shoulders broaden, turning into some nice boulders that could compete well against any rhino he'd stumble across.
He then felt a short pain in his arms, holding out firmly as he watches his biceps and triceps beef themselves outward, almost as big as bowling balls if flexed hard enough. His forearms crunch themselves out as well, along with gaining some big, meaty palms. "My... My arms...", Zazu utters, a small grin appearing on his beak. Things only got better as he felt his chest start to bulge up as two meaty slabs of pecs protrude underneath the birds beak. "I... I have pecs now!", the bird exclaims excitedly. "Oooh...!!", he grunts, covering his stomach as if he were suffering from a stomach ache. Thankfully, it was anything but. His abdomen started out flat, but he could feel a set of abs form one by one as if his belly was being pumped with hot air. In seconds. he proudly displays an exquisite 8-pack that would even make Simba jealous.
Zazu soon bends his body forward, feeling his back muscles start to stuff themselves up as his upper body frame widens, promptly gaining a sinewy, rippling back with a V-shape form with his proud muscles. His feathery tail whips upwards as his glutes inflated out and then tightened as if he were flexing them for the crowd like anyone in a bodybuilding competition. Oh... He could just see himself out there now! Flexing for his fellow brethren, displaying his newly formed physique to the animal kingdom to gaze and gawk over.
On to pressing matters. His leg muscles develop the most, turning his skinny pipes into an intimidating set of thighs and hamstrings. So powerful he could vision himself just running through the Savannah, rather than flying over it. And last but not least, his calves bulge up beneath his hamstrings, a double-diamond pair getting full attention in return. His talons then grow thicker, much like his palms, looking powerful and strapping feet that could emit waves on the ground if he smashed them hard enough. And with that, his painful and pleasureful episode muscle and mass came to an end as his body muscles were left heaving in and out all around. A few impressive veins were spread out across the most noticeable of the hornbill's massive muscles.
Zazu slowly manages to get back up on his burly feet. He couldn't even utter a word at what he just experienced. It's even more unbelievable that he'd stumble across a pond that if ingested help increase one's muscles to that of pro bodybuilder! The ecstatic bird takes a look around his whole, muscular frame, starting with his arms. He even had hands now, who'd of thought? After a minute of gawking he gives his arm a much-needed good flex, feeling up his marvelous bicep with his other palm. "This is... This is absolutely wonderful!", the bird screams, finally noticing his changed voice. "Whoa my...! Is that my voice?!", he blasts, feeling nothing but satisfied with his new, deeper tone.
He turns to the pond once again, kneeling down on both knees to get a closer view of his bulky frame. He locks his fingers with each other while raising gently against beneath his chest as he bouncing those mighty pecs a couple times. "Incredible... I wonder how I would sound if I were to squawk really loud." For that, he decided to save in his memory for another time. He then continues by showing off many of the other muscles with his reflection in the pond: flexing his rippling arms against his chest, crunching that sick set of abs every so often while patted them boastfully with one fist. "I never even imagined gaining my own set of stomach muscles. What a proud moment this is!"
Zazu gladly stands up to show off his enormous legs, flexing out those quads and calves for him and his reflection to see. "My legs are stupendous! I barter I can outrun any mountain lion if I had the mind to!", he boasts. After spending a good chuck of time idolizing his new body, a quick theory had run through his mind as he stare intently at the pond. "Hmm... I wonder..." Zazu uses both his sturdy palms to gather a pretty good amount of water, which he manages to slurp all down in one gulp. Gulp "Hmm... Eeh...! Ooh...!"" Is body responds almost immediately, his muscles soon absorbing the water like vitamins. His entire body throbs, the feeling the bird was getting becoming nothing more than euphoric his muscles beef up in size a little bit more. He even gaining a good inch or two in height.
"Hah! It's just as I suspected!", the avian roars, giving his body a quick most muscular flex. "This pond is nothing more than a magic pond that grants anyone who drinks it much more muscle mass! It's odd I came across it, but I wonder if anyone else has... Wait a minute...!" The titan of a bird takes a quick look around at his surroundings. "Where in the world am I even?!" The area he resided in contained nothing more than patches of African grass, the lone marula tree, and the pond containing purple water. "Hm... Well, guess I had better be returning. Oh ho, wait until the crowd takes a notice of this muscular, hornbill bird. I'll show them what real power really is!", he cries out fondly, flexing up both of his beefy arms. "I'll even keep this pond a secret.", he winks to the audience.
He leans in promptly before the magic water. "Alright dear friend, we shall meet again soon. Just in case I come across any folks who still tower me by a good amount." Instead of flying though, he takes up the challenge and decides to run right through the Savannah. Just to see how long his vigorous thighs can outlast. With a lift of one over the other, "And away we go!", Zazu sprints off in a heartbeat. What adventures could he come across next...
