Chapter 11: Transformation

Kiara felt the warm and cool updrafts as she soared to the top of Titans Tower. The surge of power from her new wings gave her a giddy feeling. She had never felt so confident even training with Sensei did not feel this good. No she was not thinking she was invincible. She felt great to know the strength in each individual wing, her own currents of Aura surrounding her, and the satisfaction of hurting the "annoying arrow-boy". Fighting Beast Boy as various animals most of them predators added a mix of emotions Kiara could not place. A wave of euphoria mixed with a challenge and surging confidence/strength- a potent combo indeed.

The rest of Titans East and the original Titans could only hope and pray someone would stop this fight soon. It had gotten out of hand fast and the thought of having to knock their friends out to deal with the crazy puppet girl that now has wings was not appealing. Before they could land however they are blow off course by an explosion.

"No!" The Titans shout in despair. As the dust settles four figures are revealed. Two are recognized as Speedy and Beast boy. The other is Kiara but all eyes widen in shock as she falls forward. In slow motion her hands turn to talons, her shoes are torn by extending claws. Light pink hair covers her body melting and shifting into shimmering feathers.

The strangest part was her back legs seemed to morph into fur and she grew a tail. A yellow-gold beak morphed onto her face. Her pink hair and mocha brown skin was now a shimmering mix of rainbow colors. Her arms now transformed into fur with talons but these were a mocha brown color; although they also had a highlight of rainbow colors.

Needless to say, Speedy and Beast Boy were in awe of this girl. What once was a sassy, puppet-loving, curious girl stood a mythical creature. Speedy questioned his chances of getting off the roof intact after tangling with such a creature. Beast boy had a similar doubt but his main concern was his friends and the shadow of the figure yet to be revealed.

"Anyone have any idea what that is?" Robin asked his hands stretched in front of him. Cyborg and Aqua lad shook their heads back and forth. Bumblebee tilted her head as if the new angle would provide answers. Menos and Mas muttered to themselves in Spanish not sure what to make of the girl. Terra and Raven felt they knew what she was but could not place their finger on it. Blackfire kept thinking of animals on her home that matched her but did not see too many similarities. Starfire stared at the girl rubbing her forehead while getting a headache.

The mystery girl pushed her wings down using her wind manipulation to carry herself in the air. Powerful wings at least 10 feet long propelled her through the air; a screeching purr could be heard. No doubt Kiara is having a blast tonight. The other Titans just wanted to go to bed. Speedy wanted Terra to suffer for breaking up with him, to torment Blackfire into leaving, and make Beast boy miserable. Kiara wanted to soar in the sky and not come down unless she had no choice. All of a sudden, Terra snapped her fingers.

"I know what she is!" Terra shouted jumping up. Everyone wanted to hear her guess. "It's simple if you think about. What fantasy creature we all know that looks like a bird of prey and a lion, I guess."

Her friends scratched their heads in confusion until Blackfire coughed and laughed. Robin stared at her for a moment as she cupped her hands in front of her face, curved like a beak. Then she flapped her hands up and down to symbolize wings. Holding her curved hands in front again she slashed them down and held up two fingers pointed down hanging from her lips. Cyborg just whistled in confusion while Bumblebee snapped her fingers.

"No way Terra you're right! I know what she is. Crazy puppet-girl is now a gryphon with weird color changing air currents and the ability to create weapons out of thin air. I never knew you had such interesting company. We should have dinner with you more often."

"I am confused. What is this gryphon?" Starfire tilted her head to the side. Cyborg and Aqua lad chuckled now that you think about it was obvious.

"Well Starfire a gryphon is an animal that is found in stories and myths. A gryphon is a combination of an eagle and a lion. The upper body has the head of an eagle and the feathers around the neck. The lower half is the hind legs of a lion and the tip of the tail belongs on an eagle. Do you understand?"

Starfire nods before pointing to the rainbow colored mythical hybrid diving and slashing at her friends. "Is this gryphon dangerous? Will she attack us if we get too close?"

"I don't believe so Starfire," Aqua lad whispered. "In most stories gryphon are the good guys. Unfortunate this is not a fairytale creature we are dealing with. She is dangerous and will attack if we get too close. What I'd like to know is why isn't she attacking Beast boy? I thought that was who she wanted to beat up."

Raven stared at the fight which was becoming more and more one-sided. Speedy backed up to the edge of the roof an angry gryphon and an annoyed tiger surrounding him. Terra gasps when Speedy drops his bow and arrows. Beast boy growls and stalks toward him shifting in-between a tiger, a wolf, and a raptor. Robin is about to use a smoke bomb to distract them and run off with Beast boy but Speedy acts first. He throws a smoke bomb that also produces a high-pitched sound. With Beast boy and Kiara's sensitive ears this was especially painful.

The last shrouded figure reveals to be a man in his early to mid-30s. He is covered in body armor from head to toe. His one visible eye is narrowed in irritation and mild suspicion. After the smoke bomb was thrown Speedy readied an arrow aimed at the man. He shot the arrow intending to cut the man's head off. The plasma arrow was blown off course but not before exploding in the middle of the roof; almost sending everyone off.

As the dust settled Raven's heart almost stopped. When an inhuman roar pierced the quiet night air; they all froze. It was followed by an equal inhuman screech. A loud crunch is heard followed by a squealing scream. Bumblebee and her team feared the worst. Speedy snapped in half; legs broken in unnatural shapes; a pool of blood on the floor. Instead the sight that greeted them filled them with relief and shattered it all at once. Speedy's bows and arrows laid splintered in pieces. However his left arm and right leg were in the individual mouths of beasts.

Beast boy was no longer any individual animal but a broad shouldered mix of all the animals in his DNA. He was much bigger with a small mane of black hair down his neck. He had four legs and a green tail which looked like a wolf. The most surprising was his eyes; the deep brown disappeared in its place a deep black. In all he almost looked like a lean version of bear, with longer front limbs and a wolf-like tail. He gave such a deep growl Speedy's arm shook from the vibrations.

The poor boy's trapped leg was in no better position. Locked in a vice grip by a yellow-gold curved beak which also shook from her screeching growl. Her normal blue-violet hazel rimmed eyes glows a bright scarlet replacing the blue-violet and the hazel became a vertical pupil. Her sharp cat eyes narrowed in anger matching Beast boy's rage.

"Kiara," the masked figure spoke in a calm voice as if they were the only people on the roof. "Kiara let the boy go. I want to take you home. Drop him and we'll go home."

Robin's jaw dropped to the floor. He never would have imagined Slade could talk with such a tone. If he didn't know better he would have thought his archenemy was talking to his daughter! What a horrid thought. Slade as a father! Robin wanted to grab his tofu-loving best friend and bolt for cover. Cyborg knew that would not work. These two creatures standing in front of him ready to rip Speedy limb from limb; were controlled by their instincts. Any sudden movement and Speedy could say good bye to his arm and leg.

Blackfire never thought she would see the day she wanted someone to listen to Slade, but today she was wrong. In fact, all the Titans were thinking the same thing. "Please whatever charismatic hold he has on her; make her let our friend go. We do not want to pick up our friend in pieces. Please Beast boy do not go primal and tear into the unsuspecting boy or the gryphon that was once a girl. Let everyone go home safe in one piece and happy."
