A dragon was terrorizing the city!
Shannon, a giant, five hundred foot tall drake, laughed, swinging her green tail this way and that as she watched onlookers flee in terror.  “That’s right, you better run!” she yelled triumphantly. “Nobody can stop me now!  Mwa ha ha!
She reached down, and scooped up a few of the bystanders, then opened her maw wide.  Before the people could do or say anything, she threw them into her mouth like their were piece of popcorn, and gulped them down.  “Mmm, tasty!” the dragon proclaimed, smirking.  “Sure, you’ll regenerate later.  But enjoy your time squirming in my stomach~!”
Shannon let out a roar, and fire gushed out of her mouth, burning down the evacuated buildings around her.  Hearing a noise, the green dragon turned around to see tanks rolling down the street, with the muzzles of their turrets aimed right at her.  “You think you can stop me?!” the dragon bellowed, smirking.  “Go right ahead!”
There was a brief moment of hesitation from the military below.  Then, the tanks aimed upward, and shot their bullets right at the Shannon’s head. The villain simply smirked and opened her mouth wide.  The ammunition landed right in her maw, and she caught them with her tongue, then gulped them down like candy.  “Mmm. . . That’s delicious!” she proclaimed.  “Who knew victory would taste this good?  Ha ha ha!”
She opened her maw wide again.  Before the tanks could react, a breeze came out of her mouth, pulling the machines up toward her.  She was sucking them in!
The tanks were helpless to stop her, and so Shannon inhaled them into her mouth, one machine stacking on top of the other.  Then, she swallowed them all down with a single gulp, making a huge bulge in her throat as the tanks traveled down to her stomach.
“Anybody else want to try and stop me?!” Shannon yelled triumphantly.
By now, it looked like there was no hope at all. . . But luckily, an unexpected hero would rise from the midst. . .!
Ruby, a white shark, and her rabbit friend, Betty, had been watching all of the chaos.  Upon hearing Shannon’s proclamation, Ruby stepped out of the shadows, and looked up at the dragon.  The beast hadn’t noticed her yet, and Ruby turned to her friend.
The white shark pulled up her shirt, revealing a ruby inside of her navel.  You see, Ruby had a special power: the gem that gave her namesake, once removed, could activate a suction inside of her belly button that could pull in anything and everything!  But if the ruby wasn’t put back in time, then the white shark would just keep pulling things in—and if she wasn’t stopped, the whole world would be in her belly!
Betty, who knew about her friend’s power, saw Ruby pull up her shirt and asked, “Are you sure!  It’s a little risky. . .”
Ruby nodded.  “It’s the only way we can stop this dragon,” she reasoned.  “And I trust you to put the gem back in time.”
Betty smiled.  “I promise I will.”
“Good.” Ruby took out the jewel and handed it to Betty.  “Hold this, my friend!  Let’s suck up a dragon.”
Betty nodded, taking the ruby.  “Good luck.”
Ruby nodded, and walked forward.  Soon, she was just a few feet away from Shannon.
The dragon noticed movement below, and looked down in confusion and surprised.  The military hadn’t come back at her since her last attack, so it was strange to see someone else approaching.  Squinting, she could see a white shark standing down below her.  What was she doing there?
Shannon couldn’t help but cackle.  “What are you doing down there, idiot!  Do you WANT me to crush you?”
:”Actually, it’s me who’s going to defeat you!” Ruby proclaimed.  A moment later, her belly activated, and the process began.
Ruby watched as Shannon’s tail slowly got pulled into her navel, feeling the tip of it enter her belly button.  The dragon didn’t seem to notice anything happening yet, and the white shark watched triumphantly as the tail went further and further inside of her.
Shannon felt a strange sensation coming over her tail—and then, much to her surprise, there was a strong, firm tug.  Confused, she turned around—and was surprised to see her tail was being pulled into the white shark’s navel!  “Oh, how cute!” the dragon exclaimed, giggling.  “This is just so precious!  I mean, this little micro piece of /sushi/ thinks she can vacuum me up into her belly?  HAH!  Your stomach will burst long before all of /me/ is in there!”
Ruby just smirked and said nothing.  She just continued sucking up Shannon, and the dragon, who was very amused by all of this, just watched, chuckling to herself.
As the last of Shannon’s tail made its way inside of the white shark, Ruby felt it: the first entrance into her hungry gut.  It gurgled and grumbled as the tip of the dragon’s tail came inside of her belly, and Ruby grinned.  This was going to be a big, satisfying meal.  Very satisfying indeed. . .
Now Shannon was starting to get a little more worried.  She watched as her tail slipped down the tunnel of the white shark’s navel, then entered the predator’s belly, making a bit of a bulge.  Now her butt was getting sucked inside, and the dragon was starting to panic.  “W-What?!” she exclaimed.  “This is impossible!  No puny micro can contain my greatness!”
She felt her ass getting pulled into the tunnel, and blushed.  This was very embarrassing. . . After all, she couldn’t be defeated like this!  She had to stop that micro before she was all sucked up.  Ok, well, perhaps /all/ of her wouldn’t be sucked up—after all, no tiny form could contain her!  But she needed to get rid of this interference nevertheless!
And so Shannon turned around, raised her foot high, and sent it down toward Ruby.  “I’ll squash you flat, you small piece of sushi!” she exclaimed.
However, as the dragon soon discovered, Ruby’s power had a second function: an invisible shield would protect her from any attempts to stop or harm her, aside from putting the jewel back in her navel.  And so, Shannon’s foot hit a unseen barrier with a loud /THUD/ that echoed throughout the city.
“W-What the FRICK?!” the dragon exclaimed.  She tried to stomp Ruby again, but to no avail; she tried her fists, but that didn’t work either.  “W-WHY AREN’T YOU MASHED INTO A PANCAKE ALREADY?!”
Ruby just smirked at her foe.  “Might as well except your fate as food, dragon.  This is what you get for being nasty!”
“SHUT THE FRICK UP!” Shannon yelled.  She raised her foot to stop Ruby again—but before she could take action, there was a strong tug, and she felt her toes getting pulled inside of the white shark’s navel!  She struggled and thrashed, trying to get out, but the suction was far too strong; as a result of this, the dragon fell to the ground with a loud /THUD!/
She wasn’t getting out of this one that easily.  And so, Ruby continued to suck up her prey. . .
Shannon felt the white shark’s scaly skin tighten around her legs as she was pulled deeper and deeper down the predator’s navel.  It certainly was a strange sensation, and as she was always the predator—/always!/—it was one she hadn’t experienced ever before.
She felt herself get pulled further down the tunnel, and then, her tail popped into an open space.  At first, the dragon was relieved that it wasn’t being squeezed anymore, thank /goodness/!  But then, she heard a huge /GROOOOOOWL/ come from Ruby’s belly, which vibrated in the space and made her tail tingle.  That’s when she realized she was in the stomach!
“NO!” the dragon screamed, trying to get away.  But more and more of her was sucked inside, first going down the navel tunnel, then reaching the belly,  She wasn’t getting out of this.
As Shannon’s chest was pulled in, the dragon continued to struggle, trying to escape.  The white shark’s belly was huge, and was showing no sign of stopping. . .
“Just give up already,” Ruby taunted her prey.  “You’re not escaping me that easily!”
“NEVER!” Shannon screeched.  “I’LL GET OUT OF THIS ONE SOME WAY OR ANOTHER. . . JUST YOU WATCH!”
That’s when she noticed the rabbit standing behind Ruby—the dragon hadn’t realized there was another bystander this whole time!  And the rabbit was holding some kind of red gem. . . Perhaps it was connected to this whole situation!  Maybe if she snatched the jewel, Shannon reasoned, the belly would stop pulling her in.  It was worth a shot!
“GIVE ME THAT JEWEL!” Shannon yelled.  She took a swipe at Betty with one clawed hand, and the rabbit yelped in surprise.  She managed to hop backwards and dodge it just in time, and Betty quickly ran to where Ruby was, knowing that her friend’s shield would protect her.  Sure enough, the next swipe Shannon took only hit the invisible barrier.  “NO!” the dragon exclaimed angrily.  There was nothing she could do to stop it—and so, more of her was sucked inside of Ruby.
Shannon squirmed and thrashed as more of her got eaten by the hungry navel, trying everything she could to resist.  She screamed and fought, crying bloody murder as she protested this action in any way she could.  But nothing she did worked; Ruby’s navel and belly were an unstoppable force that showed no sign of slowing down.  And so, the beast was devoured bit by bit.
She felt her shoulders get sucked up by the navel; her arms were already inside, and had reached the stomach.  Then her neck was gobbled up, inch by inch.  Now, only Shannon’s head was left to suck up.  “Curse you!” the dragon exclaimed.  “I hope I give you the worst indigestion you have ever had in your LIFE!”
Ruby laughed.  “We’ll see.  Thanks for the snack!”
With that, the last of the dragon was pulled inside of Ruby.  Shannon let out a scared whimper as she was pulled down the tunnel of the white shark’s navel; it squeezed tightly around her, ensuring that there was no escape, no matter how much she thrashed or struggled.  Soon, she popped into a new space, and was greeted by grunts and growls around her, then surrounded by wet walls: this was the predator’s stomach.  
“Oh COME ONE!” Shannon complained, wriggling about inside.  “I’M supposed to be the predator here—this isn’t fair!”  But regardless of her protests, the gut continued to gurgle hungrily around its food, and soon, the dragon found herself whimpering with fear.  What was going to happen now.
Outside, Ruby let out a sigh of relief, patting her giant belly.  That ordeal was over, thankfully, but there was still one thing left to do.
“Quick, put the jewel back!” the white shark told her friend.  Betty nodded, and snuck around her, staring at the enormous belly.  She climbed on top of the belly and struggled to put the ruby back in her friend’s navel.  As she tried to put it back, a few bystanders (who had come once things had settled down—some even took out their phones and recorded Ruby sucking up the dragon) got sucked inside.  “Hurry!” Ruby insisted.
“I’m trying!” Betty told her friend.  She fumbled a little more, and then, /finally/, she managed to put the gem back into Ruby’s navel.  The suction stopped, and both she and Ruby breathed out a sigh of relief.
“Glad that’s over!” Ruby exclaimed.  “And goodness, my belly is huge. . .”
Sure enough her stomach was as big as a building—it had grown to a substantial size to accommodate the huge dragon!  And on top of this, the white shark’s belly button, had turned into an outie thanks to all of the food!
“Now she’s just has to digest,” the Ruby said, letting out a small /uuuuurp/.  “Give me a minute. . .”
Betty nodded.  “Ok!”
Sure enough, the two of them could soon hear the white shark’s gut churning.  It was time for the food to be broken down.  And her stomach was making such a commotion, that people could hear it from city blocks away!  Though now was not the time to worry about that. . .
Inside the belly, Shannon was still squirming and fighting, her mind racing as she tried to think of a way to escape.  She couldn’t find the navel entrance she had come in from, nor could she find a way to get up and out of Ruby’s throat. . . Both entrances were sealed tightly, preventing her from exiting.  As far as she could tell, she was completely trapped. . .
“Drat!” the dragon yelled, scratching her head.  She was trying to think of something, hell, /anything/ that would get her out of this predicament.  But she was coming up pretty empty.  And, even worse, the stomach’s growls were starting to get louder and louder around her. . . That couldn’t be a good sign. . .
She writhed about, kicking and punching, trying to give Ruby bad digestion so that the predator would spit her up and out.  But that didn’t seem to be working, either.  What could she try next. . .?
As the dragon was thinking this over, the stomach around her let out its loudest rumble yet, making the walls vibrate and shake.  Then, juices started dripping from them.  Shannon cried out in surprise as they splashed on her skin and wet her scaly hide—they didn’t hurt, per say, but they did make her body feel weird and tingly, melty almost.  The pool reached up to her toes, and made the soles of her feet feel the same way. . .
This couldn’t be good.
“HEY!  MICRO SUSHI!” shouted Shannon angrily.  “YOU BETTER NOT BE DIGESTING ME RIGHT NOW!”
Outside, Ruby chuckled.  “Looks like we have a winner,” she mocked her prey.  “I /am/ digesting you as a matter of fact—so enjoy your time being micro food~!”
“NO!” the dragon screeched, furious.  Her struggles renewed, and she lashed out inside of the belly, trying her hardest to escape.
The predator just giggled.  “Oh, I always /love/ when prey gives me a massage like that!” she teased Shannon.  “Thanks for the inward belly rubs; they feel great!  And speaking of that. . .”
Ruby turned to Betty and smiled.  “Want to rub my belly, friendo?” she asked.
The rabbit’s face brightened.  “Would I?!  Heck yes!”
The white shark’s grin got wider.  “Go ahead then!”
Betty immediately did so, walking forward so that she was right in front of that enormous, beautiful gut.  She brought one hand against it, then another, rubbing it in slow, gentle circles.  Ruby felt herself relaxing, and the white shark sat on the ground with a happy sigh, spreading her legs out.  “Ahhhh. . . That feels so good,” the white shark told her friend, closing her eyes.  Upon hearing that, Betty smiled, happy to help her predator buddy like this, and kept rubbing the lovely gut.
Inside, Shannon was trying to think of a new way to escape and get the heck out of this!  Struggling and fighting didn’t work—in fact, the micro white shark actually seemed to enjoy it!  So that was out of the possible plans list.  Was there any other way she could try and escape this situation?  Or was she completely trapped. . .?
Shannon rubbed her chin, trying to think, trying to ignore the melty feeling spreading throughout the bottom of her toes.  As she was pondering her situation, the belly let out another /groooooowl/, and then, more juices fell.
“Aw man!” the dragon exclaimed as the digestive liquids fell onto her, and the pool at the bottom increased in size.  She felt it go up to her ankles now, and when she looked down to see what the damage was, she cried out in surprise and fear!
Her toes were actually melting now!  Sure enough, most of her two feet had turned into a goopy liquid, which piled up at the bottom of the stomach.  Shannon’s heart pounded.  She had eaten many people before, but this was her first time being on the receiving end of such an act.  Sure, she would reform, she knew, but this was pretty scary. . .
“Come on, LET ME OUT!” the dragon shouted, banging her fists against the walls of the stomach.  “I-I’ve learned my lesson, alright?!  Just let me out!”
Ruby chuckled, and ran a hand across her belly.  “I’m not letting you get away from me that easily,” she teased her meat.  “Besides, you were doing some really nasty things, so I think you need to be taught a lesson. . . To bad, so sad!”
Shannon found herself whimpering—dang it, a puny micro was making her feel helpless like this; it wasn’t /fair/!  She looked around the belly, trying to think of another way to escape.  But she had already tried everything. . . There was no getting out of this one. . .
Betty grinned and continued to run her hands across her friend’s smooth, round belly.  She always enjoyed being a bystander to Ruby’s meals like this, because it led to an /amazing/ belly rub session.  And she was happy to please her friend’s gut like this—in fact, it was a lot of fun for everyone involved (aside from, usually, the prey).  And so she continued going in slow circles, pausing every so often to listen to the grumbling going on inside.
Shannon felt the gut gurgle around her yet again, and this time, the walls squeezed in, making the already tight space even tighter than it had been before.  “Yeesh!” the dragon complained.  “I can’t catch a break, now can I?!”  Uncaring for her comfort, the stomach continued to squish her, getting juices all over her body as the space shrunk.
Then, it released her, and the dragon, at first, let out a sigh of relief.  But then a familiar growl sounded, and more juices came down from the walls.  “Darn it!” she yelled as the pool at the bottom filled up even further than before.  The juices went up more and more, until they finally reached Shannon’s hips!  Looking down, she could see that her feet had entirely melted into goop, and her legs and butt were also being reduced by the stomach.  It certainly wasn’t a pleasant feeling, that was for sure.  Not that it hurt at all—it was just so /humiliating/ to be digested like this!
Shannon sighed and shook her head.  By now, she knew there was no use struggling, as that wouldn’t work, and she also knew that the white shark wasn’t going to let her out.  There was nothing she could do. . . But that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to give up without a fight, dang it!  In fact, one more idea come to her mind. . .
The dragon smirked and took a deep breath, gathering fire from her belly.  Then, she let it out, pouring flames onto the belly walls with a loud roar!  Outside, Betty was startled by the noise, and jumped back in surprise.  Shannon laughed.  She was getting home free!
Or maybe not.  Because when she stopped breathing fire, she saw that the belly was . . . unharmed?!  “W-WHAT THE FRICK?!” Shannon exclaimed.  “No, I thought for sure that would work!”
Ruby chuckled.  “Sorry, but my belly is one tough customer,” she explained to her prey in a teasing voice.  “So it can withstand quite a lot of things. . . You never stood a chance.”
Defeated, Shannon slumped against the walls of the gut.  That had been her trump card, and it hadn’t done a thing. . . She guessed that she would have to digest and reform after all. . .What a pain!
Betty smiled and continued to rub her friend’s stomach. Ruby leaned back, enjoying it immensely.
The belly growled around Shannon, and more juices were released.  As this occurred, the dragon felt her body melting even further: her legs and feet were gone, but now, her butt turned completely to goop, along with her midsection!  Her chest, shoulders, neck, and head were still remaining, and Shannon had lifted up her arms to prevent them from going into the pool.
But that didn’t last very long.  Another gurgle, and then juices came pouring down like crazy!  They splashed all over the dragon, an unrelenting rain of digestive acids, and broke her down more and more.  It didn’t take long for her arms to turn to mush, and her chest was quickly reduced to nothing.  A minute later, her shoulders, neck, and head were the only intact parts of her left.
“C-CURSE YOU!” Shannon screeched.  “I’LL GET THE BETTER OF YOU NEXT TIME—JUST YOU WAIT!”
Ruby giggled.  “Sure.  Whatever you say.”
The dragon grumbled to herself as the last of her was broken down.  Soon, all of her was reduced to goop.
Ruby stood up from the ground and rubbed her gut, feeling her prey’s remains slosh about inside.  A moment later, the absorption started, and because she had eaten such a big meal, her body began to change as a result.
As she stood there, she felt her legs increasing in size.  First her calves grew, then her thighs, making her thicker and thicker with each passing second, until she had some absolutely amazing curves!  As Ruby admired her new body, the weight went into her stomach, causing it to grow exponentially until it was absolutely huge!  Then her breasts each increased in size, one after the other, and her arms joined in on the fun: her upper arms doubled in mass, then her forearms did so as well.  Finally, her neck and face grew a bit wider, and just like that, the transformation was complete.
Now Ruby was quite a plump, beautiful specimen, and had gained about 300 pounds of weight!  She let out a /buuuuuurp/, and a pair of clothing items, sized for a five hundred foot dragon, came flying out of her mouth!  Because of their size, they easily covered several buildings.
After that, more burps, and a normal sized pair of shorts shot out of her mouth, along with a blue rose sweater and a pair of khakis.
“Hey, I recognize those clothes!” Betty said, pointing.  “Those shorts belong to Pete. . . And that other outfit belongs to, oh, what’s their name?  Tasty Ace, I think!”
Upon hearing that, Ruby chuckled.  “I’m sure Pete is going to have quite the tale for Tasty Ace to write, after this incident!”
She started moving—thanks to the jewel’s powers, Ruby could move around just fine; despite the massive weight gain, she could walk like she was just normal sized.  The gem had also made her clothing stretch to fit around her new form, which was very nice.
Betty went with her.  “You know, seeing you gobble up that huge dragon is making me hungry now!” the rabbit exclaimed.
Ruby chuckled and remarked, “Well if you can fit all of me in you, go right ahead.”
Betty giggled.  “I was actually thinking of going to a restaurant to eat. . . Though I might take you up on that offer later!”
“Oh, in that case, let’s go eat!”
The two of them walked down the street, and saw the military readying a trap for when Shannon reformed.  “Ah, good, they can take it from here now,” Ruby said, relieved.
Betty smiled.  “And Pete’s going to have one heck of a story for Tasty Ace to write once they’ve regenerated!”
Ruby laughed.  “I’ll say!”
And so, the two of them went to eat, happy to have saved the day.
