Chapter 7: Training, Controlling the Shifts

The wolf like version of Experiment 0.174 then walked away ten feet from me and readied himself….while I was standing and facing towards him. Then without warning the wolf charged at me with its jaws open ready to snap into me any moment…but then when before he'd strike I tried blocking him with my arms but instead his body started to engulf by black chakra and when he charged at me he sent me flying feeling like I got hit by a boulder. When my body was about to hit the water like surface of the ground I steadied myself and when I hit my body went through the watery surface….into the depths of the water beneath. I tried to get the energy to get out of the water but it was hopeless…my body was badly wounded from that impact that it left me as a motionless corpse…a body…now making its way to death by drowning…but then I remembered….this isn't real….this is my dream..but it still seems real….but before I could make out my mind a light…a bright light appeared in front of me….and then…soon later everything turned white….as the light…engulfed me. The next thing I remember was seeing the ceiling of a room..I looked around and saw I was in some sort of bed by a window, the room seemed small yet big enough for a couple of people…then I knew where I was…I was in a hospital. I slowly laid my head back down on my pillow and then I realized and sighed. "I failed….didn't I…?" I said out loud. Then Experiment 0.174 showed up in the room..as his shadowy form….he slowly chuckled.

"Indeed, child, you have….if that was real you surely would've drowned…maybe next time I should've gave you weapons…."He said sounding idiotic. For the first time…I am actually a bit amused at Experiment 0.174…and because of that I made a slight laugh.

"You think." I said to him. His ears went down as well as his temper rising up. "Sorry….my apologies…" He then lifted his ears back up.

"Child, its fine…just don't laugh at me again….or else…." He said to me. But before he could say anything else the nurse came into the room with some medicine.

"Here you go miss." She said handing me over the medicine. "Take one or two of these every hour." I nodded to her…I then took out one of them and plopped it in my mouth..my eyes then widened as did my taste buds…the med tasted so awful and yet I had no choice. I grabbed the cup of water and forced it down making me swallow the med and gasped in relief. I could hear Experiment 0.174 laugh the whole time in my head which made me a bit nervous like last time…after a few hours of sitting on my bed and taking those horrible meds every hour Experiment 0.174 wondered about me.

"So, Child you okay with just needing those meds to heal….?" I looked back at the meds…there awful…despicable taste….but then I closed my eyes….. "Child…?"

"I rather then have you get my body healed then those meds…." I shivered.

"Alright child…" He said a bit boredly yet amusingly. With that my body started to go warm as I felt muscles in my arms and legs twitching and moving around as they heal. I grabbed my sides while they also in them started to twitch and move around as well. It took about maybe five-ten minutes for it to fully heal my body…then at that point everything stopped..and I tried getting up and in which I did and went up to the door but then stopped, the nurse doesn't realize about me having these type of healing abilities. So instead I went back into my bed and sighed. It was now the afternoon, still sitting in the hospital…then Experiment 0.174 started to speak. "Child, I think I know what to teach you…go to sleep, and I'll meet you there in your dreams…." He said as it echoed deep into my mind. And in as asked I did…slowly closing my eyes and took deep breathes and then started to drift into sleep. I entered the same area with Experiment 0.174 in front of me. "Now..That you're here child watch." He said. "I'm going to teach you how to control the shifts…and yes, the shifts that I can perform in which can change your body into my form." He said to me.

"Your teaching me this already…?...Why?" I asked to the wolf like creature Experiment 0.174.

"Haven't you notice you have no weapons….nothing to protect yourself….yet…there's still the shifts…..control those and you got yourself a weapon to use…now let me show you…first concentrate on your form…two draw your chakra into it….and then next is very simple but it is patience…first time takes a few hours….okay….child? I nodded. He is really going to do this for me…? That's so observe….yet true…I don't have weapons…so at that point I sat down on the watery surface of the ground and meditated concentrating on Experiment 0.174's form black wolf, purple glowing eyes…..black wolf…..purple glowing eyes…black wolf…..purple glowing eyes..I then started to picture it, and as soon as I did I started to use my own chakra with it…and then…the warming of my body from the other shifts started to happen. Ten minutes later my spine started to felt like it was slowing growing larger in size as what it was in the first experience….i then started to pant hardly and then my body started to have a really bad pain as the whole thing stretched out from head to tailbone…until I was two feet higher if standing making me scream….then my muscles in my arms started to twitch in a way and in thirty minutes slowly grown bigger as the bones in them move around and forming differently….and my voice started to become lower …then when my ribs started to have the bones start to move I hit my body to the ground against the watery surface as I heard cracks of my own bones being made….they were growing a few inches bigger outward as to chest and back and my feet started to snap in certain places as my hind legs grown longer…..it took probably an hour for this part and then worse of all was the tail it took mostly twenty minutes for this but when it started happening my panting became more worse as sweat started to run off from my face and when the first tail came out my whole body jerked as so did for the other nine making my own body collapse to the ground…but I hadn't blacked out yet…my whole body started to grow hair, black hair which took around ten minutes to do and for my face it was an hour but first my jaw jerked into place as it stretched along with my upper face causing a lot of amount of pain yet numbness my ears started to stretch out and pointed up like wolf's and my teeth started to sharpen into razor sharp daggers like teeth….when every part of my body had shifted I was founded still on the floor….shocked…a bit stunned..but whimpering from how that felt….Experiment 0.174 laughed and said.

"It seems I have a sister….!" He said laughing from the joke. I growled at him slightly and started to whine. "Oh, child…you don't need to worry about that anymore..your body will get used to it now after yourself have tried shifting." He said to me. With a sign of relief I put my head on the floor for a while trying to get my heart to calm down from all the pain that had been…right now…its thumping like a marching drum.
