Lauren had spoken way too soon. The first to fight were Haze, and Fang. Actually Fangs name really fit her. Jack and Felicia were standing face to face. Once Warren yelled Ready? Fight, Haze took the form of his cute little Otter, but not before Fang took hers.
She got down on all fours, her yellow eyes focused so intently on his muscular form. Then a spasm had trembled through her body, as cold sweat broke out on her temple. She removed her Roxy shirt, never breaking eye contact.
A noise of her bones starting to crack sounded in Laurens ears. Fangs legs started to twist, pull, and bend in a weird way, and her ribs started cracking to shape into a bigger rib cage, with her heart beating fast and breathing, quickening.
Hair began to grow all over her body. Her nose and mouth started to extend away from her face and her ears were growing also, moving to the top of her head, forming a point.
Her teeth were growing larger and nearly cut her bottom lip with two large teeth growing in front of her mouth.
The bottom of her spine began extending out of her which went right through her flesh at the same time. The bone grew flesh with fur that turned it into a tail.
When the transformation was finally complete, three large horns like Wolverines claws, were extended from her lower back, and her front elbows had one on each end, and horns were formed right in front of her ears. Her fur was jet black, and it almost seemed like she had a sliver main that extended from her ears down to about the center of her back. She looked like a true Battle Dog.
Suddenly, Fang growled, at Haze menacingly, exposing her razor-sharp ivory teeth.
Without warning, Fang leaped into the air, but Jack, was already transformed, and had moved out of her way, leaping onto her back, where he clawed and bit, causing huge gashes.
Fang reared, and tried desperately to reach the tinny attacker. Finally, she fell onto her back, and then, only then did release his hold on her.
Fang, now back on all fours, leaped into the air. The tinny Otter, suddenly leaped and dived underneath the werewolf. Rolling across the ground, he began to transform into his human form again, he tumbled into and upright, crouching position.
Felecia, seeing this turned her body in mid flight, and landed upon the ground, ripping up the grass and scattering dirt as she skidded to a halt.
He threw his left hand out, and used that to levitate his girlfriend. Then using his left, he threw many splices of silver at her, cutting her, but not deeply. He could have killed her easily, but that wasn't his objective. Then finally, he lowered her to the ground, and threw her, her shirt, as she began to shrink back into her human form as well.
"I let you win." She panted, the cuts now, beginning to turn into faded scars.
"That's you're song, you can sing it anyway you want to." He walked over to her, and helped her up. "Sorry about the bites."
But before he finished his apology, she bit into his neck, not hard, but clearly he had enjoyed it more than it had hurt. "Its okay, I got you back."
"Woo, do it again." He said as he shuddered from Goosebumps.
"Nope, now you have to suffer." Felicia smirked, but the thoughts and feelings of what she was going to do to him later radiated off of her and ultimately were picked up by Lauren who shuddered, not wanting to know.
"That was intense." Lauren said, trying to distract herself.
"Welcome to Mutant High." Was the smartass remark from Jack.
"I'm going to go grab some lunch, do you guy's want to come with me?" Warren announced, as he stood.
There was an echoed yeah from both Haze and Fang, but a no from Kendra.
"What about you Laura? You want something?" Fang offered.
"Nah, I'm fine." She said, as she turned too flopped down on her stomach, enjoying the cool feel of the grass. Kendra had changed from her Domo hoodie, into a slimming, tank top and jeans. Hers was black, unlike like Laurens. The small group walked away, as she admired the figure showing under the garments. Her figure was not voluptuous, nothing like the ample Fang or Storm, but not exactly lacking either. Her waist nipped in before rounding out to long thin legs and small hips. Eying her flat abdomen, Lauren unconsciously bet herself she could almost reach around it with both hands, or at least get them within an inch or so of touching.
When Kendra caught her stare, she wriggled herself around until she was on her stomach almost nose to nose with the Red Head in front of her. Lauren had the distinct feeling that if she looked just a little downward she might get a glimpse down the previously impenetrable garment, and attempted to distract herself with the meditation of what color Kendra's eyes really where. She stayed still looking into her eyes for a few seconds, and then lay her head down on her hands.
"Are you really as shy as everyone says you are?" Lauren asked before thinking.
She kept her head down. "Yeah, most of the time, those three are really the only ones I talk to, and my teachers"
"Why is that?" Lauren pressed.
"I dunno, I guess I never really got out much." Then she added with a laugh. "I'm socially retarded."
As the silence gripped them, Lauren realized that she never caught Kendra's nickname.
"So, what's your other name?"
She rolled over onto her back, eyes closed. "Mine? Its Ember."
"Ember eh? Why not Kerosene?"
"Because, Kerosene is really just a type of fuel, and I'm not fuel, I create fire, I don't need something to start it for me."
"So what, you'd rather be called Match?" Lauren and Kendra laughed lightheartedly, but Lauren quickly made it clear that she was only kidding. "Firestorm or Flames seems more like you, if you ask me."
She shrugged a rolling motion that seemed all too natural for her. "Its just a name to me, but if its what I'm going to be known by it, then I want something that at least relates to me."
They shared another contented silence before she stretched, as Lauren played around with the idea of flying again.
"Are you afraid of heights?" Lauren asked bluntly, staring into the cloud cover.
"No, not really. I have to fly to Florida to see my dad, so it would be kind of tough then." She laughed; her voice was like that of an Angel in Laurens eyes. "And not to mention, I'm an X-Men, so I can't be afraid of the X Wing now can I?"
"Do you want to go for a fly?" The words left her mouth before she could even comprehend what they meant. Her heart pounded on what that shrug meant.
"Sure," Then she creaked her neck to look into her eyes with a grin. "What harm could it do?"
Lauren stood, and stretched, her wings fluttering from the relieved tension. "By the way, I have never done this before." She paused, as Kendra cocked her head to the right, making her look a lot like a confused puppy. "I didn't even know how to fly until this morning."
Another shrug replied to her statement. "I trust you, and trust doesn't come easily from me. Besides, I've always wanted to fly," she said, more musing to herself than anything.
