Our groups ability to morph came from intercepted transmissions from Andilate transmissions. We were able to make a crude form of the power cube that gave the morphing power to whoever touched it, but it was alas crude and there was big problem with our morphs: they hurt. A lot!
As I began to change the first thing that happened was my legs turned around in my body, I gritted my teeth to avoid screaming. I fell forward breaking a- still human- rib My eyes changed to the more adapt eyes of a cougar. Fur began to sprout on my body. My two front teeth disappeared into my mouth, more pain, in their place grew two large fangs.
My ears caved in and shrunk they migrated from the side of my head to the top, I felt every inch they moved (for obvious reasons our group only morphs animals of the same sex we are) , my nose caved in and formed the nose of the cougar. My broken rib fixed itself as a cougar's rib. My already thing fingers became claws, which my hand expanded into a paw and covered.
My tail shot out from my butt, completing the change. Rachel had already finished her morph into a grizzly bear. My heightened cougar senses smelt the people coming, they all were sweating, I also heard them, they were close, closer, at the door.
Lets get ready to ruuummmmmble I yelled in thought-speak to Rachel. Her bear morph was turned away from me, so she didn't notice that I had morphed.
How did you, oh never mind I'll ask later she said as she door opened. I took the first guy, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He was entering hostile territory and he still had his gun holstered.
I pounced landing square on his chest. 258 pounds of big cat, crushed the man's ribcage. I decided to make sure he was dead so I bit his neck, with taste of blood the cougar mind tried to take over but I fought it. There were three other men out there one had taken a shot at me while I pounced he was now on the ground, cleaved in two my a very pissed off grizzly bear.
The other man fired a shot at Rachel, it hit her but her fur protected her, the bullet looked to be very low caliber. Yerks, don't they ever learn? I pounced, his gun was a semi auto but he didn't have time to pull the trigger again.
I killed him the same way I killed the others. A nearby elevator opened and two more men ran out. They had their guns drawn and cocked. One dropped into a shooting stance and fired at me, this bullet got me in the right shoulder blade, pain, the bullet stopped before it hit a crucial organ thank God.
That, just made me angry. I gave the trademark "roooow" pounced and killed him, literally dodging a bullet while I did it, and jumped out of the elevator.
Think anymore are coming? Rachel asked. A gunshot answered her question. This one hit me in the front leg shattering it. I was crippled, but I rushed at the guy and was able to get a bite in on his torso before he could get another shot off. Unfortunately there were two more of his buddies behind him. One shot missed, the other one caught me in the back leg I fell the cougar mind was in a panic, I trouble controlling it, it wanted to charge, but I knew I wouldn't be able to do that.
I tried to stand up, couldn't, so I just lay there playing dead. It wasn't good enough. I felt a gun to me cougar head.
"See you in Hell, Andilate." A voice said. I saw Rachel charge at him out of the corner of my eye, she was on all fours he saw her and lifted his gun to get off a head shot…
The controller was on the ground, one of his legs had been bitten clean off by a salt water crocodile, Anna!
That's my sister I said to her. As she finished the controller off.
Well I couldn't just… She noticed the bear the bear looked at her.
Who's this The both asked at the same time.
I'll tell you later, will someone get me into a room so I can de-morph. Rachel draped me over her bear shoulders, and took me back into room 402. I de-morphed first. Rachel second and Anna third. Anna looked at Rachel.
"No way, are you who I think you are?" I heard footsteps again.
"No time," I said. "Lets go." I ran over and broke a window, it was still raining, so I decided on my heron morph. Anna morphed a pelican, Rachel was forced to go bald eagle.
Let's get out of here. I said. We flew out the broken window and just missed a few more bullets shot our way.
