Chapter 3 : The change

~Damons POV~

The sound of rattling ringed in my ears. I've been in some bad messes but this, this is insane.

I looked around at my surrounding. I could never forget this place.

Adams airforce base.

There was a rather large crater were a building use to be. That must have a story to it but that's the least of my worries. We approached a jeep and got in. We and 3 other jeeps headed towards a large building. Probably used to hold planes before the war. We started slowing down and parked in front. Some guards shoved us out and started guiding us with their rifles. They herded us towards a large patchwork cell. A guard pushed me and the others into the cell.

"This is just temporary, you will see your permanent VERY soon," a guard buzzed before shouting and locking the gate.

"Shit," Cody said banging his head on the gate once, twice, then three times.

I took a moment to gauge my surroundings. There were a couple of scattered mats and a foul smelling bucket. The wall its self is patchwork but after shaking it I realized it was sturdier then it looks. I went to the gate and studied the lock.

"Theirs no picking this baby, I think its operated by a terminal," I said.

"So in other words were stuck," Jordan stated.

"YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Cody shouted obviously agitated.

"WHAT DID I DO!" Jordan shouted.

"IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR LITTLE JOYRIDE TO THE COAST WE WOULD'NT BE HERE!" Cody retorted.

"Calm down fighting isn't going to do anything," Justin said.

"He's right, if you really want to help, come up with a plan to get us out of here," I stated.

After a brief discussion we decided to jump them once we get transferred. After finishing the discussion I realized how tired, I haven't slept since The Hub. I laid down and fell asleep.

~FLASHBACK~

"NO NO NO NO!" I shouted, " TAKE US BACK WE DIDN'T PICK UP COLE!"

Jordan put his hand on my shoulder, "Damon, he's gone."

"NO! HE SAID HE'D MEET UP WITH US!," I shouted, "COLE YOU SON OF A BITCH DON'T LEAVE US!"

~END OF FLASHBACK~

I woke up covered in sweat and tears. I new theirs no chance of falling back asleep so I started pacing the cell. In the distance I heard footsteps and the gate lock disengaging. Looks like we're getting out early.

This isn't going to end well I thought.

"COME WITH US," one of four guards buzzed.

They guided us through the open with their rifles. Once we were alone with our guards I spun around and disarmed my guard. I pulled the trigger but all I heard was a dry Click. I blinked wondering what happened. The guard took that moment pulled out his plasma pistol.

"WE'RE NOT THAT STUPED, WE'VE SEEN YOU FILE," the guard buzzed.

"Shit," I said angrily.

He hit me with the but of the gun and everything went black.

~ Jordan POV ~

I watched the affair in shock. Damon was laying on the ground unconscious.

"YOU!" a guard buzzed "PICK HIM UP!"

Cody walked to Damon and slung him over his shoulder. We made our way to a large building. This one seems new and well maintained. This isn't going to end well.

~ Cody POV ~

Thoughs ass holes knocked out Damon. As we approached a new looking building my heart started to race. This doesn't look like a cellblock. I thought as they lead us through a long hallway. I looked around and saw no one but people in lab coats. Shit I Thought This isn't gonna end nice.

~ Justin POV ~

They led us into a small room filled with medical beds. They instructed us to lay down. Cody put Damon down on one then laid down himself. The rest of us did the same. Crap this isn't gonna… That thought was cut of when several restraints sealed my elbows and knees.

~ Damon POV ~

~ FLASHBACK ~

Me and Jordan were wandering the mainland wasteland near Chicago. As we walked we heard gunshots in the distance and ran to the sound. We found two teenagers fighting a band of raiders. I pulled out a sniper rifle while Jordan his plasma rifle. I looked for a moment looking for the leader. I spotted a man wearing significantly better equipment and shot him between the eyes. The raiders paused to find the sniper giving the teens time to escape. After they were out of the blast zone I pulled out a fat man and took all the raiders out with one shot. Then, I turned my attention to the teens who were approaching us cautiously.

"Thanks," the short one said, "We would have been dead if you hadn't showed up."

He then turned toward his friend and elbowed him.

"Thank you," his friend mumbled.

"I'm Justin," He then nodded to his friend, "and this is Cody."

"What are you doing out here my yourself?" Jordan asked

"We were guarding a caravan when we were ambushed," Justin said with a frown.

"You're a mercenary?" Jordan asked.

"Well we haven't had any real training," Justin admitted looking at his ragged shoes.

Jordan looked at me then back at them, "We're the caravan now?"

"They died in the ambush," Justin said.

"You can come with us," Jordan suggested.

"Seriously?" Justin said his eyes lighting up.

"Sure," I said

"Thank you!" He responded.

~END FLASHBACK~

A woke up to a bright light. I was laying on a bed with my joints restrained. There were men in lab coats behind a glass plane. I looked around and saw my friends in the same predicament as me.

"Ah," one said through the intercom "He's awake now we can begin."

"Lets start with him," a power armored guard said, "He lets see how big he is as a #570,"

"Ah, Sweet irony," A scientist said.

Just then a lab-coated man came in, "This will hurt a lot."

He gave me a shot in the arm then walked out of the room. I started getting a tingling sinsation up my arm. Suddenly the restraints popped open, allowing me to look at my arm. To my horror I started growing fur!

What the hell? I stood up and looked at my friends who all started staring at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"DUDE, WHAT THE F### HAPEND TO YOUR EARS!" Cody shouted.

I felt for my ear but they weren't there. I moved my hands up and felt what seemed like coyote ears. My eyes grew wide as realized what happened. A took a step towards the glass window but, I heard a crack and fell. I heard my pants rip. I looked back and realized, I had grown a tail! I felt my face elongate into a snout and my eyes grow bigger. Fur spread across my body from head to toe. My Hair started to retract just leaving a little scruff of hair as the rest evened out to the length of the rest of my fur. My hands seemed to be fussing together into paws. Then I started to shrink. After that the changes stopped. I began to black out.

"Nighty little zorua," My friend the guard said.
