NOTE: IF you look back on Lexi's Appearance You'll see I forgot about what colors she likes, I don't know why, but I felt the urge to post this. Her fave is blue but she also adores orange, pink, and green. She also likes the checkered black and white pattern. That sounds more like me, but oh well.

Lexi's POV

"Hey Star I think I know how we can take care of this."

"How, they must be ten feet down! Much too long for a wolf."

"But maybe not too long for too kids," Zak, said understanding my thoughts without using his powers. Impressive.

I turned into a human. He did the same.

"Grab my legs and lower me in. Star grab hold of Zak's legs somehow."

They assembled how I said as I ay on my stomach. I crawled forward and started to reach down. I felt my feet go over the side and I grabbed onto a root. I looked back. Zak was already halfway in.

"That's enough, I think I can reach them from here and we need to be able to get back up. I reached downward as far as I could and hummed to calm the puppies. I let one come close. It was Napora. Then I brought him up. Star grunted and pulled Zak up who pulled me up. Star barked at the safety of the puppy. Then I went back down for Ponara. When Ponara was up I stroked her fur.

I placed my hand on Zak's shoulder.

"Before we transform and um, Star can understand us again, I have to ask you, are those Star's puppies?"

"No way! They don't even look alike!"

We looked at Star with spots and stripes of blue and the 2 tan/ blonde puppies.

"Then who's are they?"

"They were from another pack, but then this pack took them in."
I turned into my wolf self and Zak turned into his wolf form. As I explained to him on the way here that his wolf body would slowly change as he used it more to fit his human appearance. That didn't happen to me, oddly, but the power more used my personality.

The tuft of hair between Zak's wolf ears seemed to grow more star shaped every time we morphed. Now he's a regular wolf.

"I think we should go back to the den for some rest."

"Agreed."

At the den…

"Spppttt!"

I groaned. I was slowly waking up now.

"Spppttt!"

"What?"

"Star wants to see you in the main area."

"What time is it?"

"I don't know, I'm just a wolf."

"Is that Candy?"

"Yes. Hurry up." I pushed myself up and my back barely brushed against the ceiling of the small room. I crawled out on my belly and sure enough star was waiting.

"Follow me."

I followed her and she motioned to Candy to stop following us.

We crawled on our bellies out the exit and we took a small hidden turn in the exit that lead to a sacred lake to the wolves. Apparently it was well guarded by huge boulders larger than 4 Docs and Drews stacked up. The lake was beautiful. The only way to get to it was through the wolves' burrow. Actually these are the only wolves I know of that burrow, it's like they have they're own community.

The lake was beautiful. Between some of the gaps between the rocks you could barely make out the deep orange sunrise through all the fog. It was absolutely gorgeous. The lake had a glassy appearance to it and little bugs danced on and off its surface.

"Wow. I-It's beautiful!"

"You should see it at sunset."

"Now I'm jealous." We both laughed in a dog like way.

"I almost forgot but I had to wake you up earlier to give you something. The night you told us you were going back to the Saturdays' we went and snuck up and spied on you to make sure you were well off. Then this guy said something, it was weird I could understand him for some odd reason, but he said that the old male kur ended up controlling and eating the female kur. Well the night after you left for Kentucky, I dug up this ancient relic thing."

"What about it?"

"It's an old relic having to do with kur. It was passed on through trade in some nomadic wolf tribes and when it got here decades ago, my pack buried it. I found it and the night I learned about all that kur being kurnivorious I decided to give this to you."

"It's an ancient arrowhead, it looks like."

"It is. The shiny side reflects and the dull rough side protects."

"Really? From what?"

"From Zak, the male kur."

"Whoa."

"The shiny side reflects the power sending it back to the owner causing power overload and then unconsciousness. It was used by some legion of whatever to get kur into some special area. "

"Cool. Ha! HA!"

"What?"

"Kurnivorious! That's good! I just realized it."

"You're right! I didn't notice that either!"

"Wait so wha about this kur amulet arrowhead?"

"I'm giving it to you so you can protect it and use it."

"Awesome! Thank you, so much." Star dropped it over my head so it hung loosely around my neck. Then she showed me a necklace of her own I had yet to notice.

"Wow, now we have friend necklaces."

"Yeah!"

We laughed it off for a second, silenced, looked at each other, and then laughed again. We silenced ourselves and started to walk back to the tunnel. Again, don't even ask me how the wolves made their burrow system. Before we could even get to the tunnel, howls arose from the outside. I heard Zak yelling something and looked at Star.

"Race ya!" I sped ahead but she beat me anyway. She crawled quickly and took the turn to get out the regular exit. I followed. When I got out I noticed all the wolves were crouched down and growling.

I didn't see Zak anywhere on the ground, and when I looked upward the Hibagon had Zak. I think his name was mentioned before to me, like Professor Mizuki. What I found funny is that he seemed to be talking to the dogs, but they had no idea what he was saying. I had to act on instinct. I ran up and jumped in the air, colliding with the tiger. I slashed out at it. Then turning into a tiger myself I slashed furiously. I transformed into an elephant and tried to stomp the tiger.

When I failed in even that I fell back. Various wolves behind star and I were growling and barking angrily. Then I transformed into a black leopard and snarled. I leaped using my hind legs and attacked with my front paws. All this time I had been fighting the tiger Pro. Mizuki had been busily swatting at me. The rest of the dogs charged at him and now finally was my chance I turned into another Hibagon.

Prof. Mizuki stared at me. I took this chance and punched him in the face, kicked him in the stomach and head-butted him on the head.

"Nice," Zak admitted to me. I turned back into Lexi. I turned and walked over to Star. Before I was able to sit Prof. Mizuki warned and threatened.

"Next time we meet it will not only be me, it will be all the other secret scientists too!" The tiger snarled.

"We could still beat you!" I yelled as he walked away carrying his tiger under his arm.

I sat and started petting Star. Then turned into a wolf to properly thank her.

"Thanks for all your help, we probably have to go now, but we'll visit often."

"Right."

"His parents… They're probably worried sick about him so,"

"So you have to go too."

"Yeah. Well, see you around!"

"See ya!"

I turned back into Lexi and started to jog back the way we had come the night before. Zak took the lead this time and we broke into a run, all the way back to the house.
