As he looked up, Megavolt was shocked speechless at what he saw.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

His goggles were covered in smoke and ash. He was glad he was wearing them suddenly, he'd almost forgotten them when he woke up this morning. He took them off, and blinked, the air around him was no better. He could only see a huge smoke and ash cloud. It was impossible to see anything. He stood shakily, feeling incredibly drained, and not knowing why. He remembered what he'd just done, but had no idea why he would feel this worn out, it wasn't even a high charged zap!

He rubbed the goggles with his gloves, and put them back over his eyes as he coughed and waved away the smoke. He tripped on something, and looked down to see what was left of the camera and a tranq. gun. He reached down and picked the items up, burnt beyond recognition. He gulped, if this happened to these, what had happened to the swan, the lion and the fox?

He heard a cough, a high-pitched, very petite and feminine cough, and turned to his left. It was the swan girl. She stumbled into the small clearing he'd made by waving his hands in the air, and gasped, stepping backwards but inhaling a big mouthful of smoke, and gagging. Megavolt glared at her.

"The exit is that way, go." He mumbled, she nodded, and took off, disappearing into the smoldering gray air. Megavolt sighed, but forgot about the smoke, and ended up inhaling a big bunch himself. He began to cough so loud he didn't hear the growling, hissing and sparking.

Slowly in the smoke cloud behind him a pair of glowing yellow eyes submerged, glaring evilly all around as if they were seeing everything, and nothing at all. Slowly it stepped into the clearing, and growled deep in it's throat.

This growl Megavolt heard, and he slowly turned, and stumbled back as he did.

Standing before him was the same vixen from before.. only.. not...

She was taller now, Megavolt's height exactly. He didn't know where to look, where to start taking in the detail. While before hand she had been rather small, she was now well-built. She still maintained most of her coloring, but was now redder, and not as ashen. Her curly brown hair had been transformed into a curly brown mane like the lions that fell to her shoulders enveloping her neck and head. The bases of her ears were hidden under the mane sea, but the tips shot up, spiked and pointed. Megavolt, still on the ground, looked at her face. It was still the same... for the most part. Her eyes were a bit longer, more cat-like, and lacked any signs of real intelligence.. it was as if she was now under a trance, completely at a loss. Her eyes were still the same unnatural yellow, and glowed like a happy, and free light bulb on an empty night. Then something small caught his attention, on the right side of her cheeks, right before a tuft of creamy colored fur, was a small mark...

A lightning bolt.
