Well, might as well make it somewhat plauisible. Noone's eyes were on the smallest of the competitors anyway.. the other competitors had slunk to the back of the stage as Karen had stolen the show completely, and the dark skinned girl was only barely visible creeping from behind the side of the stage, watching Karen with a mix of hopelessness and envy.

Beth aimed the gun carefully - she really didn't want to hit anyone but her, and fired a huge blast of energy.

It took a few seconds for that level of power to take effect. At first, she didn't seem to notice the changes in her body, and Beth could only see her face and arm sticking out from behind the stage. Then her forearm began to expand, and the girl spent a few seconds staring at it as it grew out and up. Her arm reached out as she stared at it in amazement as her flesh rippled under her skin, leaving behind a hugely swolen bicep - the change rippled outward from where Beth had fired the gun, down her shoulder and into her chest. Suprisingly, her bra seemed to hold as pectorals and lats stretched out the fabric, and her back transformed from skinny and wiry to professional female bodybuilder level. her stomach rippled, and her tiny abs extended out nearly an inch, vascularity popping out and running down her legs as her major muscle groups seemed to inflate, until she seemed just a tad larger then the woman who ahd the crowd's adjulation.

Somehow, the crowd had missed this, their attentions locked forward until the girl stepped forward infront of Karen, showing off one impressive bicep peak. Karen stopped in mid poze, looked back to study her new competition, and got a pleased and determined look on her face.

"All right. Some competition! I didn't think there was anyone serious this year!" said Karen, and went into a double bicep pose, peaks rising above her shoulders as she bunched up the muscles in her arms, giving a confident beam to the audience, who roared back.

The girl, no be outdone, took the same stance... and bested her. Very very slightly, but Beth's eyesight could tell that she had an edge on Karen. The next three poxes worked similarly, Karen showing off her impressive figure and then being just slightly outclassed by the girl who'd previously been tiny comparred to her. Dehydration kept each from sweating, Karen's fair complexion already showed a bit of blushing, while Karen's competition seemed to be treating it like a dream.

"Alright. Lets see you beat this!" she said, locking her arms forward and tensing every part of her body. Her body moved unusually ,and a look of strain came on her face as veins began distending on her body, and her muscles swelled apreciably - Karen seemed to bulge everywhere, and suddenly the tables were turned once again. Beth had never seen a female bodybuilder as large as Karen - anywhere or any time now. She barely seemed to be fiitting in the nylon halter.

Beth thought to herself "well, now I can find out what happens when you put too much muscle on a body."
