****Begin Feral Files****
The story continues...
It's the middle of the night in Sanctuary, home base of Mutant X. Everyone is asleep, When in medical lab the vat holding Sasha begins to bubble. Bernard awakens, he's changed, and visible fur, antlers, and hoofed feet decorate his tall frame. He looks around nervously and then darts out of his quarters down a hall. Lilly is in the kitchen, the refrigerator door wide open; she lies in a pool of food wrappers and containers sleeping. Aya's eyes bolt open and she snarls sniffing the air, she transforms into an anthropomorphic wolf and bounds out of her quarters. Evan awakens next and rips out of his clothes as he transforms into a dragon like humanoid creature. And he bursts out of his room. Rebecca wakes up breathing heavily and she rushes over to her bathtub turning it on she strips and leaps in transforming into a mermaid. Aeiko awakens with a start inside her clothes, having shrunken several feet in size, her body shape altered somewhat she tries to scream but only manages an avian screech. She panicky makes her way out of her clothes and flies over to her door using taloned feet to open it and fly out. Shalamar simply looks up and licks her kits to calm them before nodding off back to sleep. Across the world feral New Mutants experience similar changes in their bodies and minds.
Hours later alarms blare awakening the others the remaining team members bolt out of their rooms to the shocking vision of a zoo run amuck. John links the non-ferals minds and they head to Adam's quarters to meet up. Once assembled they begin a furious exchange of thoughts.
~What's going on.~ ~All I'm getting is base emotions from the others.~ ~Their minds are equally feral.~ ~Their lost, as best as I can estimate every single feral New Mutant has mentally reverted into a animal, most have accompanied physical mutations.~ Emma gasps, ~When I was feral I wanted to form a family of like minds.maybe my Telempathy did this.~ ~That was days ago.~ ~Maybe I created a slow moving shockwave.~ ~Let's not dwell on how it happened.~ ~Let's figure out a cure.~ ~Any thoughts on a solution people?~ ~Find a telepath to help them?~ ~The effect is worldwide Amy.~ ~I'm getting a vision, damn it's gone, but for a moment I could see a possible future.~ ~How's that possible you only have low level precognition.~ ~Hummmmmmm.maybe.~ ~Yes Adam?~ ~What are the Psionics we have in our mental link, refresh my memory.~ ~Well you Adam.~ ~I'm just a child prodigy, exceptional for a human but I do not posses any of your gifts.~ ~Sometimes I wonder about that Adam.~ ~*Mental cough* Back to the matter at hand.~ ~Oh right!~ ~Telepathic Linker~ ~Telempath~ ~Illusionist~ ~Precognative~ ~Telekenitic~ ~Super sonic thinker~ ~You're not a Psionic Todd.~ ~Aren't I, my thoughts are just as fast as my body~ ~Ok enough bickering, we have to work together, with all this mental power we should be able to counteract the psionic effect that caused this. Everyone concentrate your Psionic energy at Amy.~
Reality seemed to ripple and deform, as the precog was bombarded with a flood of pure psychic energy, but Adam had not taken into account Amy's latent stasis suspension abilities. And a massive backlash of energy exploded outward from Amy knocking everyone unconscious. Sometime later, Sarah awakens alone and as she stands she looks around confused. Sanctuary is vastly different, now a complex stone maze with electronics spared about. Vines and plant live cover everything, and she can hear the bubbling of a river or lake and the chatter of wild life.
"How long was I out?"
Rising to her feet she straightened her clothes but stopped abruptly as he stomach growled and she got the full magnitude of her surroundings. She was in more then an altered Sanctuary she was in what looked like a swamp land and sweltering heat. She disrobed as quickly as she could and ran her sweat soaked hand through her hair. Hair that came out in clumps as she pulled her hand away. She screamed and stumbled backward crashing into the water her legs flying high above her.legs covered in scales. As the sploshed into the water she tried to sit up, scraping her back against a rock she leapt up reflexive and like a snakes skin hers rips out from under her. Landing again with a splash she waited for the water to clear and as it did she stood shocked at the lizard like creature she had become. Complete with a tail, she began to pant heavily when suddenly something splashed down beside her. She didn't get a chance to look as hunger overtook her and she swallowed it on one bite then promptly fall back again. As she looked up Evan appeared over her. A creature similar to her suddenly everything fell into place. Evan had transformed her into his mate! For several tense moments he just looked at her, but quickly she accepted her fate, mainly because even with all the cosmetic changes her powers still kept her biological clock and all other bio chemicals on overdrive. She smiled and patted her belly as she looked around at several large eggs that sat in the swamp. Eggs she had a feeling were her own, and she was far from finished. But just as suddenly as it had happened, she was back to normal and fully clothed looking down on the other of the linked minds still unconscious.
"Was that a vision, did I see one of Amy's visions?" she whispered to herself as she ran a hand down her belly before snapping out of her haze. "I really need to learn to control these chemical imbalances." Smirking she stalked off "Still in the mean time I have enough mutants to slate me." She stopped again, this time sitting down on the floor. She shivered as she tried to control her emotions. Then she heard a voice "Let me help." She turned around to see Emma kneeling down beside her.
"I don't think you can, it's overactive hormones." "I'm a telempath, I work with hormones all the time." "You can try."
Emma simply placed a hand on Sarah's shoulder and concentrated. At first nothing happened, but as Emma gritted her teeth and began to physically strain herself. Sarah felt the strain melt out of her for the first time in a long time. Emma panted and collapsed to the side but before she could catch Emma Sarah heard Amy speak.
"We have to get out of here." "Why?" "Something went wrong, in less then a hour every feral on the planet is going to be here and their going to use this as a staging ground to reshape the earth into some prehistoric jungle." "Then we have to stand and fight," John exclaimed. "I don't think that would be a good idea, if only 1 of them has lycanthropic abilities." explained Adam. "Exactly, several do, and I have seen what they're going to do to us. We need to regroup."
Several moments of confusion but as the team came around they all followed Amy's leaded and make a break for the jet. They faced some resistance but were able to ward them off long enough to escape Sanctuary. Looking out the windows of their 2 jets they watched as hundreds of Ferals, more that should exist were migrating toward Sanctuary. Flying over a city they found it eerily devoid of human life.it was then that a helicopter crossed their path, and who was its Pilot..MASON ECKART. He opened communications with Adam's jet and spoke.
"Adam you're little feral mutants have transformed some innocent people and Agents of mine into animals. I expect you have a plan to stop this insanity." "Mason I'm shocked, not blaming me for such a large problem and painting me a villain." "Oh I have no doubt that you and you little Mutant X are responsible but the fact of the matter is that even you wouldn't be stupid enough to want to transform the world to ferals, your more of a Psionics man." "So then it looks like we're a team again Mason." "It seems that if I don't want to be in the minority I must. What few agent's I have unconverted are guarding Genome X, I take it you will need my resources again."
Sometime later at Genome X, Sarah keeps an eye on Mason Eckart. "You have a weakened immune system don't you, and you blame it on New Mutant's right?" "That is none of your concern." "Oh but you see it is. If not for the New Mutant program I would be much like you." "It is because of Adam's genetic tinkering I am the way I am." "Then maybe I can help." "Keep your diseased hands away from me, I do not need to contract some New Mutant virus." "That's what you don't understand, my ability is chemical elementalism, I can help you." "Why would you even do such a thing." "Why not, the way I see it, the world is going to hell in a hand basket, if Adam cant find a way to reverse things every human on earth with either die or become a feral. It is the twilight hour, and before I face my maker I want to use my gifts for good once." ".You do have a point, as brilliant as Adam pretends to be, this is beyond his abilities." "Then why help him?" "Because before we all become mindless beasts I want him to taste failure I want him to die knowing he screwed up big time." "If we're already doomed then what harm is there in me trying to cure you." "Go ahead, try, it will be just another failure for Adam to contend with," smirked Mason.
Sarah stepped forward and rose a hand to Mason's cheek, Gently she placed it on his face and concentrated. Mason felt sick, he knew he was going to die, oh the revenge was sweet, he would die human, at the hands of one of Adam's children, before they all became animals. But several minutes passed and nothing happened. Sarah took her hand away peeling off the sealant over Mason's face. Mason recoiled reflexively but when he felt the stale air of Genome X his eyes went wide. Cautiously he peeled off the rest of his facial sheath and looked around for the first time under his own skin.
