"Here we are!" Gallano cried as they approached a plain grass field.

"Where IS here?" Darington asked. "All I see is an empty field."

"Ah, but looks can be deceiving!" Gallano grinned and took a step back, falling into an invisible portal below.

"Whoa! An invisible portal!" Blaze gasped

"Yes!" Gallano jumped back out with a beam. "To protect our kingdom from non-shapeshifters that might hurt us… oh," he seemed to realize something as he face-palmed. "Oh dear! I forgot non-shapeshifters can enter our realm,"

"So what can we do to get in?" Starla asked.

"I suppose I'll have to teach you all shapeshifting right here and now," Gallano replied.

Darington high tired Stripes excitedly. "Yes! What do we have to do?"

"All of you, come closer, and I will use some of my magic to help you all," Gellano urged.

The group all obliged. Crusher reluctantly did so but stayed a little far from the shapeshifter as he flicked his hands.

"Alright, now, close your eyes and focus your mind. Think of the being you want to shapeshift into, and let the magic do it's work,"

"Sounds easy to me!" Pickle chirped.

"You must focus and not lose concentration," Gallano warned. "Or you might shift into something else, understood?"

"Understood!"

They all followed the instructions, focusing as Gallano released some of his magic towards him. Only Crusher peeped out one eye and drove behind Pickle to avoid the magic as it spread out.

Suddenly, they all felt a change in their aura. Darington was the first to try it, and his form suddenly shifted into a small squirrel.

"Woah!" he giggled as he checked out his squirrel form. "I'm a squirrel!"

"You wanted to shift into… a squirrel?" Stripes gave him an odd expression, eyes still closed to not lose concentration.

Blaze chuckled and shifted his own form to try. He felt himself shift into a large red fox. Darington gasped as he watched him shift.

"B, you're a fox!"

"I… am?" Blaze glanced down at himself and gasped. "Woah, I am!" He turned to the stunt truck and cooed. "Aww, and you're such an adorable squirrel!"

"Heh... thanks..."

"Zeg want to shift form too!" Zeg cried out before trying to concentrate really hard.

He suddenly began to shift his form, his body glowing and shrinking down lightly in the form of a crocodile.

"Zeg! You're a crocodile!" Blaze gasped.

"Yippee!" Zeg chomped his sharp jaws. "Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!"

Starla glowed bright, her form shifted into a huge elephant.

"And Starla's an elephant!" Darington cried out.

Stripes and Watts soon glowed, and in their place stood a giant tiger and a pink jaguar.

"Wow!" Blaze gasped. "Stripes is a tiger and Watts is a jaguar!"

"RAWRR!"

"Alright!"

AJ and Gabby took the next turn, and the two immediately turned into a robin and a bluebird.

"D'aww, and AJ and Gabby are birds!" Darington cooed.

"Ooh! I wanna shift now!" Pickle excitedly cried as his whole body lit up, and his form shifted into a Komodo dragon. "Woah, what am I?"

"You're a Komodo Dragon," AJ replied with a chirp. "One of the most gigantic lizards ever!"

"Cool!"

"Your turn, Crusher!" Watts said.

"Uhm…"

Crusher looked hesitant but managed to glow and slowly shift into a large being. When the glow ceased, there stood a large blue dragon with lightning sparking out.

The others gasped as the dragon lifted his wings up and released a roar. "Woah!"

"Crusher, you're a dragon!" Blaze cried out.

"That's awesome!" Pickle squealed.

"Hmm… that's… very impressive shapeshifting," Gallano hummed as he glanced up at the dragon.

Crusher didn't seem to like his gaze and shifted back into his normal form. He glared at the guy before huffing.

"Right, now that we can shapeshift, we can enter the kingdom now, right?"

"Yes, of course," Gallano nodded slowly, eyes narrowed at the dark blue truck before turning. "Follow me."

They all shifted back to their normal forms as Gallano approached the portal once more. He jumped inside, and the others followed after him. Crusher grumbled before jumping down. He screamed with the rest of them as they all fell down a long, pinkish tunnel of magic.

They soon made it to the end, all of them crashing down on aquamarine grass with a thud. Only Gallano managed to stay on his feet while landing, chuckling at the group as they picked themselves up.

"Friends, welcome to the kingdom of the shapeshifters!"
