My sense of hearing came first, I knew my eyes were closed, and that my whole body felt numb. I slowly flexed what felt like my fingers, then I realized that I only had three instead of the usual four and a thumb. I opened my eyes and raised my hands - or paws -

to look at them. They were an odd navy blue up until my elbow and yellow until my shoulder, where a navy blue ring circled my shoulder.

I looked down at my torso. A large spike rested square in the middle and shiny silver fur fell down until my hips. Followed by a ring of navy blue and yellow thighs and navy blue legs.

I looked around the room. Nobody was here. Then I swung my legs around and got up off the bed. I spotted a floor mirror and walked to it. I saw the female lucario from before, only I saw her red eyes staring back. That was me, I'm a lucario now. I touched the side of my face and ran my paw down my muzzle.

Then I heard voices out my door. My ears swiveled around and my head turned to the door. My feet moved before I was thinking and I found myself with my ear against the door. I heard the doctors voice.

"The surgery has been performed with no flaws. The girl is healthy as far as we know and she should be ready for testing in a few days." I heard him report.

"Good, we need to know is there are any, malfunctions, in her systems. I want you to euthanize her so we can study and see if any normal organs have changed." A deeper voice commanded.

I shivered and broke away from the door. My eyes were wide with horror and my ears were flat against my head. Those bastards! They were going to kill me anyway!

I looked around and spotted a window. I ran over and lifted it open then looked out. It was only three stories, I could make the jump. I climbed up on the window sill and braced myself, then jumped. I landed with no problems other than a stumble.

I stood up straight and looked back at the window, and scowled. Then turned back and broke into a sprint, the trees nearby were mere blurs in my vision, and before I knew it, I was deeper in the forest than I had wanted. With tired eyes I looked around and spotted a small den looking shelter. I walked over and crawled under beneath it, then curled up and slowly fell asleep.

. . .

A hard nudge woke me in the middle of the night. My eyes snapped open and I shoved whatever it was away. I heard a grunt, followed by a thud as my eyes adjusted to the darkness of night. I saw a dimly illuminated figure laying on the ground in front of me. I lifted up my head to get a better look. Then it moved and eventually stood in front of my sleeping place. I heard a low growl emit from it. I sat up and quickly got out of the den before it could even move. I turned and took a fighting stance I learned from karate lessons when I was young. The figure stood up straight and looked at me. Then it took a step toward me, and another, another, and it kept going until I could see exactly what it was.

It was another lucario.

He looked like he was half dead too. He had cuts on his arms and one long scar over his left eye, his fur was matted and dirty in some spots and he looked like he'd pass out any second. Needless to say, he looked like he'd just been to hell and back. I dropped my stance and stared at him, my head tilted slightly.

"Hey, are you alright?" I asked.

He didn't even have the time to reply until he began to fall forward. I didn't even think when I ran forward and caught him before he hit the ground. I heard him let out a soft grunt of pain. I also let out a grunt, but I assure you, it was not one of pain.

"Geez! You're heavy!" I muttered.

I pulled him to the den and laid him onto the ground. He groaned and laid a paw over his arm. I looked at the obviously horrible wound and then pried his paw off. I gasped a the deep gash that traced down his arm from his shoulder to his elbow. I winced at the wound. Then gently touched it. He flinched and grunted in pain. I looked up at him, and withdrew my hand.

"Sorry! I-I didn't mean to…" I trailed off.

He was staring at me. I blinked a few times. We just stared at each other a moment, then I got an idea. I stood and walked out of the den, then turned back toward the guy.

"Stay here, I'll be back soon. So just don't die." With that, I jumped into a tree and made my way to the hospital.
