Hello. Every character and recognizable terms like Zoanthropes belong and/or are from the video-game Bloody Roar. Story line and adapted explanation of how their morphing works... is mine.

I do hope you enjoy, in case you read this, and have a good time.

Some years pass and the prime minister is having a most important meeting…

"Okay people…tell me we finally have things under control. I'm tired of hearing what ifs and maybes and whatever expression you use for uncertainty. It's been 3 years now and I want to know…how do we stand about the beasts?

"Well sir, as you know, opposite to our hopes in pinpointing the pod's landing zones, we were unable to secure most of the alien species. Nevertheless, we captured 3 and found out they were metamorphs. They could turn into beasts…"

"Yes, about that. Have you any explanation?"

"Actually yes, we were able to determine this very recently." The scientist nervously carries on. "Well, we are unable to exactly say how they morph because we can't observe their natural habitat and environment. But we still were able to find out quite a lot. We know that they do not need to sleep. You see, their true form is the beast one but it takes a lot out of their metabolism, a lot of energy. With our subjects we were able to find out that their metabolism happens to work in a very logical way: Their body energies and such go where they need too, when they transform, all the metabolism goes into steroid factor. It pumps up their muscles and five senses and stamina turning them into a scary fighting machine. But, like I said, it takes a lot out of them. It's all controlled very much like our nervous system, which as you know stresses our body or relaxes accordingly to the circumstances we find ourselves; while ours works automatically, they can control this factor. They can transform when they want too, it just doesn't make much sense and they don't do it."

"Why doesn't it make much sense?"

"Well…you don't want to just walk around full of adrenaline, breathing faster with your heart pumping thrice its normal speed. They do it when the situation demands it but they do it consciously and voluntarily, opposite to our body. Anyways, in the human form, the entire metabolism turns to healing and resting; in basic terms, they can be fighting an army but if they're in their human form, it's like sleeping for them. That's it, but things get more complicated when they turn to beasts. They have an instinct for survival, or at least their body has, and as they start taking damage and being wounded, the metabolism starts working on those wounds even if the beast doesn't want it too.

When it reaches a certain limit, the body will transform itself back into human shape so it can take care of the wounds… which is remarkably impressive, the cure process: fast and extremely effective."

"I think I understand the concept. Shall we say they don't suffer any damage…up to what time could they remain in their beast form?"

"A day, maybe two."

"Very well. Now, apart from the scientific knowledge we're all happy to gain here, I still want to know what we know about their race. Where did they come from? Can we expect a salvage ship? Do they know anything about spaceship technology or any technology even? But more importantly for now, have we tracked all the others?"

"Well our specimens seem to have suffered severe brain loss so we really can't say."

"Have all the others also shown this amnesia?"

"We are most certain of it, yes."

The prime minister sighs; it had been one hell of a turn at office. The alien ship explodes and sends this semi-gods in our lap for only GOD knows what purpose. Scouts? Warriors to destroy us all? Peace keepers? Just an accident? He's thinking but then notices that the scientist is talking again:

"But we can answer the last question. As you know 17 pods crashed in our planet. Three of them we retrieved in time. Gado, the lion; Shina, the leopard and Stun, the insect."

"Yes yes, but what about the others?"

"Well, about the pods. The one that landed in the Amazon jungle, we couldn't reach it in time and I doubt anyone could. That jungle can be quite aggressive, even for these beasts, he may probably be dead. Then there's the one that bashed into a mountain on which we only found feathers; he must've turn into some kind of bird and flew. And one landed right in the middle of Macau, the bad part, we also don't know what has happened to that beast.

As you know, the first we found was on the news, the media got to it first. It was a young girl with brown hair, shorts and big sporting sweater with sleeves twice as big as her arms. She seems to only transform half way into a cat."

"What do you mean transform half way?"

"Well, all the beasts are animals with human traits. You could say she was a girl with cat traits. She gets the fur, tail, whiskers and obviously the strength and everything else, but you can still clearly see who she is."

"Oh right, I remember now. Why is that?"

"We think it's due to a hormonal unbalance. She kept running around Chinese territory frightful and changing uncontrollably but a year back she just disappeared."

"Yes, I remember that too. The Chinese didn't let us get her, assured us they would handle it….pfff. Next?"

The scientist presses a button on a remote control showing two Asian adults completely alike except for the glasses one carries. Athletic with brown hair.

"Twins Shenlong and Long…at least we believe them to be twins. They started representing the yakuza two years ago as the twin tigers. Long turns into a regular Siberian tiger while Shenlong turns into a silvered one with blue stripes."

"Yes yes, I know. Next."

"Well, Busuzima who worked for us. He can turn into a giant chameleon and bend with the environment. He escaped us over a year and a half now."

"I know that, next."

"Our spy in the yakuza also tells us they've found a woman who can turn into a bat and I reported the existence of a mole man last year."

"Right right, you've informed me about all those before. Any news?"

"Well, on one of our missions, Gado sniffed another one. He engaged the referred beast in combat but was outsmarted and the wolf got away. "

"Wolf?"

The scientist presses another button showing another brown haired; it was a young Japanese man wearing a white shirt and black shorts.

"According to Gado, his name is Yugo and he can turn into a wolf."

"Heh, a wolf man?"

"Ironic but Gado says he's the greatest threat yet. His fighting skills are amazing, his endurance and perseverance are notable. We have found him again yesterday and are planning to catch him today actually. Shina will be accompanying Gado this time."

"Very well, next."

"Well, we know of reports about beasts but they're incoherent and erratic."

"Tell me anyways."

"Well, a monster with horns all over his body, a blue dragon but we believe we shouldn't trust these claims."

"So you brought me here to lecture me and tell me you've yet to find anyone new? The yakuza are actually doing better than us?"

The scientist stutters and so the prime-minister speaks for him, impatiently.

"Look, you call me when you have something NEW, like a beast or some sort of indication to what they WANT or PLAN alright? Otherwise, just send me the written reports. I can still read…" He gets up and leaves.

The scientist leaves the conference room, walks through innumerable halls and finally arrives at his researching sites. Next to his computers, Gado stood leaned to a wall waiting patiently for his father too return.

"Finally. What did he say?" Gado asks.

"He's not happy about the results son, and to tell you the truth, I am starting to fear for what will happen if we fail. Having such powerful beings like you roaming free or under the mafia is very dangerous. People will get hurt…Yugo might lead us to a nest of them, he's got to have a hiding spot and I doubt he could've lived all these years alone, without any guidance."

"I will get him this time…" Gado says, looking fiercely at the wall.

"WE will get him brother…" Shina says, exiting one of the dark halls into the room.

"Yes, you will do it. I have great faith in you two." The scientist says, patting their shoulders. "Now go, show him the wrong of his vigilante ways."
