Brightclaw237: Alright, we are nearing the final chapters of this fanfic. I hope you enjoy.
Leon: Warning, there is great danger ahead.
Lucky: Uh-oh!
Elric: I think that it is talking about…
Sky: Dude, don't spoil anything! Brightclaw237 owns nothing.
It has been several hours since we all arrived here in the Neo Black Whale. Dr. Blackraven had been aware that we had come, but he allowed us. I know that he needs me for a different purpose. The same purpose that his brother had for me. Lucky and Elric are currently battling Olga right now. I know that she let Leon and I on by on purpose. The BR Brigade needs me unharmed, or I would probably not survive what kinds of plans they have for my power.
"Sky, we will rescue Claw. Elric and Lucky have their vivosaurs at max level as well." Leon says, reassuring me. "We will make it in time." He says.
"You won't have time to save that runt!" Kowloon's voice snickers from the shadows. I see the man walk into the light, an evil grin spread across his face.
"YOU!" I snarl, my instincts taking over. I can feel my pupils narrow into predatory slits, my canines becoming sharper. My fingernails also sharpen into claws that shine with light energy. Kowloon smiles as he sees me slowly transform. I can't control my instincts at all. The wolf necklace begins to form a crack in the middle. I slam the buggy's door open, leaping out of the vehicle.
"Seems that the Dr. was right after all, you are indeed the ultimate weapon of light. Unable to be controlled by anyone, not even yourself." Kowloon laughs.
I feel a growl rising in my throat, and I do nothing to hold it in. I have lost almost all my humanity. I roar at the masked man, the one who was responsible for taking away my pack member. I feel myself becoming enveloped in light energy. I don't try to stop the transformation this time, letting go of almost all common sense.
'Sky, what is happening to you?' I think as I see Sky's body enveloped in her light energy. "No, don't give in to the power! Don't you dare forget us, Sky!" I shout, seeing the light change shape. The first time when Sky showed me her transformation, it was only a minor change. This time is different though, Sky is losing herself to the hatred and power. When the light dies down, Sky is no longer human. Sky has become some kind of anthropomorphic wolf. Sky has silver ash gray fur, with a white tipped tail, and white fur inside her wolf ears. Sky's eyes are the same color, but they show no kindness or compassion. Her sapphire blue eyes burn with hatred and bloodlust. I feel as if my heart is being crushed. I promised to protect Sky, but how am I supposed to stop her in the state that she's in.
"KOWLOON, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" I snap.
"I have done nothing, but the girl's true instincts have finally awoken." Kowloon snickers. "Dr. Blackraven said that the girl's transformation is affected by her emotions. Though depending on the emotion that transforms the girl, the outcome would vary." He explains.
"What is that supposed to mean?!" I snap.
"It means that you stood in our way. Your love for Sky made it almost impossible for her to transform out of anger." Kowloon says.
"Out of anger?" I ask. My eyes widen when I realize why Sky had been running into the forest. Sky had feared that she would hurt the people around her in her rage.
"Finally getting it, huh?" Kowloon smirks. "Dr. Blackraven's brother had failed to get the girl angry enough to this state, but it seemed as if the girl was a lone wolf at the time. She was still too young, and had no bonds that were worth protecting." He explains. "Now that the Dr.'s experiment is taken away from the girl, her rage has completely consumed her." Kowloon explains. "Her bond with it was strong, probably stronger than her love for you." Kowloon snickers. I then realize what he means by that. Sky had a close connection with Claw, because they both knew what it felt to be alone. To be feared by the world for the power that they hold, that is why Sky became engulfed in her rage. Nothing can calm such rage, what can possibly come close to stopping Sky. "Also, this is no mere rage, this is the girl's final form. She will destroy everything in sight, a wild creature that hunts down anything." Kowloon snickers. "The girl you knew is no more, not even those wolves could stop her." He explains. "You especially cannot tame such a dangerous beast." The masked BR Brigade admin smiles as he falls back into the shadows, but Sky leaps at him. I hear Kowloon let out a shout of agonizing pain, followed by the sound of a buggy door closing. Kowloon drives away, but I catch a glimpse of his wounded arm. A deep gash lays across from his shoulder to his elbow. "As I had told you…she will hunt anyone…and…anything down. You'll…only get…yourself killed." He gasps, clutching his bleeding arm. "That girl…no…she's no…longer a…girl. She's…lost all…reason by now." Kowloon grunts in pain. His buggy door has multiple slash marks that have cut through about half of the metal on the door. His windshield is cracked in the center, while one of the tires is leaking air.
I look away from the masked man, and back at Sky. Her fur is spiked out in anger, and she is snarling at the bone buggies. 'Sky, I know that you are still in there.' I think as I slowly exit the buggy. Sky's head snaps towards me. She bares her teeth in a snarl, standing on all four legs. Her tail lashes from side to side. Her eyes locked onto me, but I don't flinch at her gaze. I calmly walk towards my friend, a warm smile on my face.
"I warned…you…kid. She will…attack…anything." Kowloon warns, and I finally come close to Sky.
"You're wrong, Kowloon." I say, reaching my hand out towards Sky's muzzle.
"What are…you…doing?!" Kowloon shouts in confusion, causing Sky to growl, her ears folding back.
"Reaching out to save a friend." I say. "I have complete trust in Sky, just like she would for me." I explain. "I promised that I would protect you, Sky, and I intend to keep that promise." I smile, my hand now resting Sky's muzzle. She growls for a few moments, but soon stops. Sky's eyes close, and her fur starts to lie flat.
"How are you…doing that?!" Kowloon asks, surprised by my actions.
"As I had said before, I have complete faith in Sky. The same goes for Sky as well." I explain. A light envelopes Sky's body, and she begins to return to her human form. "I know what my father had done, and why he had left." I growl, holding Sky as she returns to normal. "What you said about nobody being able to control Sky is wrong." I say, glaring at Kowloon.
"How are you able to though?" Kowloon asks, finally catching his breath. He arm is bandage by his own VR-00M now.
"It was thanks to my father working with Dr. Blackraven's brother. He had figured out that if Sky would be able to fall in love with me, I would be able to prevent any accidents from happening." I explain. "Negative emotions were needed for the transformation, which is why I grew up alone. So I wouldn't know what emotions would change Sky back to normal." I explain. "As long as Sky was kept prisoner, the plan for that madman would probably have come true." I say. "Sky would not be the same person that she is today. She wouldn't know joy, comfort, or even love." I say. "Once the final factors for the scientist's experiment were finished, I would be sent to 'save' Sky. Eventually, you know what would happen." I growl. "To think that I was part of a horrid experiment that caused my girlfriend so much suffering. It makes me want to find that man and feed him to the rogues!" I snap. "Though that would only make them sick." I snicker. The light fades away, and Sky is human once more. All the anger that had engulfed her is gone. Knots form in my stomach when I see how weak she looks. To transform back in such a short time really exhausted her, especially since that was the final stage of the experiment.
"Hmm, it seems that the girl is more powerful than I had originally thought. Even you have surprised me, boy." Kowloon says, disappearing into the shadows.
Sky slowly opens her eyes, and weakly lifts her head to face me. Her eyes well up with tears. "Leon,…thank you." She whimpers, hugging me. "I could have seriously hurt you, but you saved me from all the pain and misery!" Sky sobs, soaking my shirt with her tears.
I gently hush Sky, calming her down. "Sky, it is impossible for you to hurt me." I say. "I was also part of the same experiment as you." I say, caressing Sky's back, calming her down.
Sky's eyes widen in fear, but she doesn't break away from the embrace. "You're…part…of…" I cut her off.
"I had no idea until now, but I was supposed to be the person who would keep you under control." I say, my heart starting to break. "I don't blame you if you don't want to see me again after this mission, but I will always still love you for who you are Sky." I say, tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Leon, don't cry, you're supposed to be the one who cheers me up." Sky says. "I don't care if you were supposed to be part of the same experiment, to be able to keep me under control." She says. "Since I was freed long ago, I was able to have my own life. You weren't able to though, and it's all their fault!" Sky cries, but I hush her again. "I will never leave you because you're connected to my past, it's just another reason for us to grow stronger together." Sky smiles. She leans in and kisses me on the lips. The feeling is amazing, though the kiss lasts only for several seconds. Another white light envelopes Sky, and I realize that she is changing her for of her own free will. When the light dissipates, Sky is in her hybrid form with wolf-like ears and a tail. "This form should help us find Claw faster, my senses are much stronger now." Sky says. "I finally have complete control of my power, and it's all thanks to you, Leon!" Sky exclaims, standing up. "Let's hurry up and find him." She says, walking back to her buggy. Before Sky makes it to the door, she freezes all of a sudden.
"What's wrong Sky?" I ask
"I smell something familiar to me." Sky says, darting off in a random direction.
"Wait, come back Sky!" I shout, running after her.
