"I can see that, Susan, but where did it come from?"
"It fell out of the sky, from what I was told."
Engaging optic sensors. Visual data interpreted.
Two subjects detected. Identical genetic material. Subjects identified as human females, adolescent. Low physical strength, high intellectual quotient. Chance of conversion survival: low.
ERROR: energy reserves for conversion engines low. Priotrity dictates at least one complete specimen created per conversion pod. Engaging timer. Protocol dictates utilize subject with highest conversion survival ratio detected within time limit. Stand by.
"SO what are we supposed to do with it?"
"What else, Mary? Disect it."
Tools analyzed. Threat to unit minimal.
"Hey! So thi is the lab."
Subject identified. Human female, early adolescent. High physical quotient, medium intellectual quotient. Subject shows low recovery potential. Chance of conversion survival: medium.
"Sissy! What are you doing in here?"
"Johnny said you do a lot of cool stuff in here. I wanted to check it out."
"Woof!"
New subject identified. Genetically modified canid. High intelligence quotient. High physical quotient. ERROR: incompatible with conversion process.
"Yeah, come on Susan, Mary. What's wrong with letting Sissy see what goes on in here?"
New subject identified. Human male, early adolescent. Medium physical quotient. Low intellectual quotient. High recovery quotient. ALERT: subject shows signs of frequent recovery from major genetic modification. Genetic material extremely adaptable. Possible signs of low level energy generation capabilities. Chance of conversion survival: high. Estimated completed unit capabilities: high. Action determined. Conversion subject selected.
"I mean it's not like there's ever anything really dangerous in here-"
Proximity alert. Engaging capture of subject.
"-WAAAAH!"
Capture complete.
"Johnny! Are you okay?"
"Get me out of here!"
*BANG! BANG!*
"Wha? Metal?"

"JOHNNY!"
What...what's happening...my body...my mind...something's not right...
"DUKEY! Get Jillian. It's some kind of alien plant, maybe she knows what to do."
Mary...that name means something...who...
My sister...she's 15...I...
I'm Johnny Test...13 years old...
Why is it so hard to remember...
"I'm on it Mary!"
Dukey...my dog...my best friend...
"Let go of my little brother you stupid alien freak plant!" *CLANG!* *CLANG!*
Susan...Mary's twin...my other older sister...
I hear crying...that's important...why is it important?...
"I brought her!"
"Good work Dukey!"
"Susan, Mary, what's going on?"
Jillian...princess of Vegandan...she lives nearby...
"All Dukey said was some alien plant thing had eaten Johnny-" *Gasp!*
"Jillian, do you know anything about this thing?"
"...Radam..."
Radam...that means something...my head...too much information...head hurts...
"Jillian what are you doing?"
"Preventing a cataclysm."
*FWEEEE-* *CRASH!* *CHEEW!*
"What do you think you're doing? Are you crazy?"
"You could have hurt Johnny!"
That voice...I know that voice...
"Johnny is already lost to us. You think I want him dead? It's too late to save him, and if he comes out of that thing intact, he will be the worst monster this world has ever seen."
I'm...a monster?
ERROR: threat to unit exceeds safety protocols. Acelerating conversion.
Wha...pain...too much...can't think...
"Susan and Mary can fix him! They're geniuses! Johnny's death is never an acceptable choice, do you hear me you psycho alien bitch?"
That voice...it's...

Sissy.
Sissy was crying...
...because of me.
ERROR: Neural mapping failure: Abort, Retry, Fail? Retry.
It's all coming back. No! This is my body! My mind! It will not be used against the people I care about!
Conversion complete. Speciman is fully functional Tekkaman. ERROR: Interior temperature's exceeding safety levels. Error...Error...Er-
The plant suddenly burst into flames from the inside as it burned, melted, and disintegrated into nothingness. As the flames subsided, Johnny stood amongst the embers, seeming no different. He gazed around at those around him, seeming not to recognize them. Then his eyes fell on Sissy, and he was suddenly back to normal.
"Okay, maybe there is some dangerous stuff in here after all." He looked down, and desperately tried to cover himself. "Why am I naked?"
