Wernak came back to consciousness in a cold metal room with all of his limbs tied up by plasma beams. Another monkey thing was towering over him (this is a tall one).
"Ahhh test subject 3254781 has awoken." It said in a normal voice. "So there are many things you want to know, well I shall tell you right now. Firstly we are the Grox, the highest beings in the universe, and I am professor Reqwevil most of us have cybernetic implants but I do not. Secondly we blew up that little empire of yours to make room for a classified function and thirdly what will happen to you, well fist we will take some of your blood and do some painless experiments on you then we shall put you in a simulator to test your instincts, once we have your species on file we'll but you in a stasis chamber on display in our museum of defeated species. Any question."
"Will I die?" he asked in a croaky voice.
"Probably not." Reqwevil replied.
"probably?" said Wernak sheepishly.
"Well if we feel you are a threat or at risk of escaping you will … terminated," said the professor with a degree of unsteadiness. "Now that your awake I would like to test your reactions," as that happened the professor.
"Don't," stuttered Wernak. "Something happens to my species when threatened."
"We'll see what then," the professor plunged the knife at high speeds towards his leg. Instead of embedding itself in his leg it snapped. He grew bigger and as this happened he could feel his skin hardening and pores growing, that, when he looked were excreting magma.
He looked down just in time to see the professor run out of the room and the door disappear.
"Wow, you are intriguing," said a voice over the intercom. "Further experiments will have to proceed in stasis mode."
Once the intercom went off the room went very cold, colder than he had ever experienced. So cold that the magma stopped exiting his body, in order to heat him up from the inside. After, the magma was drained from the base of the room, large 'pylons' came out of the wall. These 'pylons' came right up to oversized Wernak and dug deep into his new pores. ZAP! A high voltage of electricity went into every cell of his body. He felt the wave of energy work its way up and down his spine and in to his brain. After 30 seconds of this he felt his body decreasing in size.
The professor walked back in, "That was eventful," he said just as Wernak resumed his normal size.
"What happened," spluttered Wernak.
"You said something happened to you when threatened and it did," replied the professor.
"I was lying to get you not to hurt me. I didn't know I could do that," he practically cried
"Well now you know," the professor said to Wernak. Then he turned his attention to no one in particular and said, "Lower the chamber." A tube came down and settled around him, then locked into place on the floor. He heard an angry buzzing noise and felt himself start to grow, but a kind of blue energy came around him, stopped him growing and once again the world faded away.
