Chapter 21
It didn't take an hour needless to say.
Yuki was already showing off to his siblings within twenty minutes upon putting the bands on. He wore a bathroom and had to practice using his legs first, that took most of his time rather than the transformation. However, he was a remarkable quick learner. He figured out how to balance himself on two feet and was soon a pro at walking about!
He found his siblings along with Snek's four children talking about what it will be like to be human.
When he appeared.
No one said a word.
Yuki smiled to everyone as he proudly twirled in his bathrobe. "What do you think?" he asked.
"Yuki?" whispered Tempest. "You're… human already?"
He nodded and explained he made adjustments to the bands. He also did the same for Pythan and the others. "I just used Drax's DNA instead of trying to hunt up some of your mother's. It worked perfectly and you should be able to turn as fast as me. This only took twenty minutes. Alley is incorporating my alterations into the other bands now as we speak."
Peering from the back, was his mother. Yuki approached her cautiously, but her eyes were glowing with pride. He stood before her as proud as he could. "What do you think mom?"
She smiled and gently cupped his face. "Are you happy?" she asked.
He nodded. "Than that's all that matters to me."
"What are we waiting for! Let's get these bands and turn human!" Pythan cheered.
"After you turn, and we get you kids clothed and use to walking, Luna, Akira and Eclipsa want to take you out to the mall with their friends Jason and Misty." His mother announced.
"A mall? Really?" asked Athena.
"What's a mall?" asked Conna.
"A very big building with a lot of stores." Explained Yuuma. "I better find a mask then…"
"Your uncles already made you one."

Within the hour, Snek's children and the rest of the six were on their own two feet and walking. Melee kept a close eye on everything and made certain the kids had proper clothing to wear. When they were able to walk on their own and were properly dressed, they appeared rather comfortable, yet she noticed the look on Tempest's face. He was concerned about something.
"Tempest?" she asked.
He blushed and leaned in whispering. "Why do I have a tail on the front of my body?"
Melee giggled. "Oh sweetheart, that we have to talk about before you go out in case you need the bathroom… Uh… Genus… could I borrow you for a moment?" Melee called. She whispered to him if he could explain anatomy to the boys as she got the girls. He nodded without hesitation as Melee took the girls from the room.
"Okay before you go anywhere understand now when you need to use the bathroom…" she went into details about how to use the facilities, and even got the girls to try using the bathroom before going anywhere. They understood rather quickly and the importance of hand sanitation after, fortunately they will have Luna, Misty and Eclipsa to help if need be.
When she walked back in with the girls, she found the boys oddly looking down. "AHEM" Genus said with a loud clearing of his throat. The boys instantly looked up again. "Gentlemen… we have spoke of this… please remember your… responsibility…" he said in an odd tone and a strange look in his eyes.
However the boys were feverishly nodding their heads in agreement. "Everyone okay?" Melee asked.
"I certainly hope so…" Genus said with a sigh. "I will call Jason to give him the heads up…"

Meanwhile…
Jason was just walking towards the lab along with Luna, Eclipsa and Akira. He stopped in his track at the text he just received from his father. The look of confusion soon followed which made everyone else pause. "Everything okay Jason?" asked Akira.
"Uh… how would you make of this text?" he asked.
Peering down at the phone, Akira read what was sent, only to pause himself and wonder if he was reading what he was reading.
'Jason, your new friends are unfamiliar with some of their own… bodily functions. Please assist when need be, and make certain that they do not explore too much. Please ensure this does no occur in public viewing.'
"Huh?" Akira said just as confused as Jason.
"You two okay?" asked Misty. "Let me see that!"
"NO!" protested Jason. "This… isn't a text for you."
Her arms crossed as she pouted. "Spoiled sport."
With a deep breath, Jason continued onward with his friends. "So… We're meeting the six huh? Dad wouldn't let us meet them yet, well we saw four of them before but they were passed out in your arms. But we have seen pictures, they are cute little buggers aren't they?" asked Jason.
"Uh… not so little buggers anymore." Akira said with a smirk.
They made their way into the lab, there appeared to be a rather large gathering to say the least, yet the conversation came to a stop instantly as ten new faces stared at them.
Jason himself froze as did Misty. "Whoa…" she whispered.
Luna was beaming. "Misty, Jason, this is Titan, Tempest, Yuki, Yuuma, Rimuru and Athena. You have met Pythan, Bo, Conna and Angie right?"
"Not like this!" protested Misty. But her eyes kept drifting, she was smitten by one of them!
"Now Luna, take things slow with them, they are still learning and don't quite understand a few concepts of being human just yet, they have only been so for an hour. Take it easy and make sure that you keep a close eye on them." Her mother insisted.
Jason began to think this was more like a baby-sitting job than a bunch of friends hanging out.
"Before we go…" announced Yuki. "We just want to change our look a little… we… know we look a lot like Amai Mask." He explained.
Jason wasn't going to say anything about it after being warned by Akira, yet they were well aware of their appearance. One appeared rather pissed that he look so strongly like the superstar. "We better see your uncles…"
"Mom, Uncle Street and Knuckle briefed me earlier. I already got the mask made." Alley announced.
She ventured to a small portion of the room where she had a 3D printer. She reached in and took out an odd looking mask. "According to Uncle Knuckle, there's a wrestler in another time frame that wears a mask like this… I didn't know Uncle Knuckle has access to alternative timelines! Anyway…" she showed Yuuma the mask. His eyes widened, as he was quick to put it on, thick straps came over the back of his head and one under the chin that secured it in place. It was a red and black mask but appeared rather scary looking. "Uncle Knuckle said the wrestler who wore this apparently hid his face for years, no one knew who he was for some time." She explained.
Yuuma found a mirror and stared into it, he smiled proudly to it. "It's perfect." He whispered.
Titan didn't bother hiding his face, he didn't really care, but he also had a far fuller look, he shared similarities to Amai but they weren't as strong as the others. Tempest covered his head with a bandana and wore sunglasses. Yuki opted for goggles of all things. Athena didn't hide her look either nor did Rimuru with the exception of sunglasses.
Snek's kids didn't hide their looks.
Pythan, and Bo looked a lot like their father. However, Pythan was blond and slightly shorter and thinner than Bo. Angie was blonde as Conna had black hair like her father. Conna was also slightly taller than her sister and broader. "I want everyone to be careful, keep me posted and watch out for crazy people." Melee insisted.
"We will mom, we promise." Vowed Eclipsa. "So, whose ready for the mall?"
