Author's Name: It seems my last little chapter excited and frightened some people. I knew it would work by killing some people with a huge beast of a different colour, and a shadowy character. And yes, I did somewhat copy one character from Kingdom Hearts, a video game. He's one of the newest additions that will come in the next game. But, Kingdom Hearts rocks. But don't be surprised if I use some quotes from it or something; I've gone incredibly hyper, waiting for it, considered one of the best action games ever to be created, to appear in stores. AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, SUCKS TO YOU. I do not own Ashley, as I basically got her from Wario Ware Touched, or however you spell that game, for the DS. You might've noticed. But I have tweeked her a bit. She doesn't have Red around, and doesn't carry that stuffed rabbit around. And she's a year older now. I also don't own Kingdom Hearts either, but I do wish I did. XD

MidnightxPhoenix: Damn right bloody hell. I've been planning that for a while. AND SHUT UP ABOUT COPYING HIM. You know how hot that guy is just as much as I do. D

Cursedninetales: HEE. Finally got you to quit whining. P Kidding, kidding. Yeah, yeah. You'll just have to keep reading to see what happens next.

The title shows what pretty much will happen.

Chapter Six: This Isn't Normal…

Immediately of course, the dance was cancelled off, and everyone agreed with this, except what appeared to be Serina, her chance to continue to dance with Alec ruined. And when she tried to peck him on the cheek, Alec had quickly dodged out of the way, Serina falling flat on her face, screaming into the wooden floors her rage.

Alec had quickly sprinted off, before Serina could stand up to give chase. She continued to scream, stomping on the dance floor as she began to chase him, but Alec had already a long start, so chasing was of no use.

Everyone's parents were called out to pick them up, and so they did, except Des, Amphie, and Ashley, who had decided to walk home instead. And this is where we are now, Ashley, Amphie, and Des making their way home to their homes.

Amphie had grown terribly bored, and glanced around uneasily in the dark. She shuddered, and frowned, her tail lowering, much like her face.

" I don't like the dark." Amphie commented quietly in almost a whisper.

Ashley rolled her eyes, glancing back at the pokemorph," Oh you have got to be kidding me." Ashley then waved her hand towards Amphie," Okay Amphie, what are you?"

" A girl?"

" WHAT KIND OF POKEMORPH?"

" Oh. An Ampharos. But why?"

Ashley started flatly in return, as a cold breeze picked up around her feet, almost telling Amphie she was quite annoyed at Amphie's thickness. Leaves from the sidewalk began to dance and twirl about Ashley's legs, as another gust picked up, carrying them off. Ashley fumed, clenching her fists as she held them up.

Amphie then widened her eyes, and stared at her tail," Oh. Of course." Amphie said meekly under Ashley's angered eyes, glowing. Amphie then glanced up at the ruby indented in her forehead. Concentrating for a few moments, she closed her eyes, making no difference in the darkness, and her hair seemed to curl at the ends. Her ruby began to flash a brilliant red, and glowed. Immediately, the glass ruby ball on the end of her tail returned the glow, and a filter of light escaped it, lighting their area brightly, and a far amount around themselves.

" You shouldn't be afraid of the dark. Your DNA allows you make things brighter." Ashley muttered.

" Don't be so hard on Amphie Ashley." Des said, frowning.

" You're sticking up for that little girl? Pssh. She shouldn't even be in the senior class." Ashley complained, growling.

Amphie opened her mouth to say something, but Des interrupted her," Yes. She's new. And hardly anyone pays any attention to the new students."

Ashley turned around, narrowing her eyes," No one pays any attention to them?"

" Yes."

" And what about me?"

" Well…we're friends, aren't we?"

" Yeah, I guess."

" I don't get what we're fighting about." Amphie spoke up, dumbfounded.

A long silence passed through the group, probably for the two teens to try and think what they were, indeed, fighting about.

" Ugh. Neither do I, anymore." Ashley admitted.

" Nor do I." Des sighed.

" Let's just go!" Amphie said, waving her tail back and forth in slight impatient ness.

" Yeah. Let's go." Ashley and Des agreed in unison, beginning to walk down the sidewalk.

" Not so fast!"

Ashley, Des, and Amphie whirled around to see Serina, standing with her hands clenched into fists, narrowing her eyes at them.

" Ugh. What do you want Serina? We're going home." Ashley yawned, her eyes half closing just to make this point that it was also late.

" I want to blow off some steam! Alec didn't kiss me when I tried to! He ran off!" Serina screamed.

Amphie giggled under her breath, and put her hands to her mouth to try and muffle them. Des frowned, and glanced at Ashley, who was smirking widely.

" No wonder Serina. You need a Tic-Tac." Ashley said, resting her arms at her sides and standing up straight.

" WHAT?" Serina demanded, horrified.

" You heard me. Your breath stinks. Really bad too." Ashley laughed, holding her nose. " I can smell your breath all the way from over here too! That's how bad it is!"

" Ashley…"

" Quiet Des."

Des mumbled, and leaned against a building, crossing his arms against his chest as he muttered things under his breath. Amphie was still emitting a muffled giggle.

" YOU'RE INSULTING ME? Not like you could do any better with him! You're not good enough for anyone, except perhaps Des over here!" Serina yelled, indicating Des with her index finger.

" Hey! I'm fine, thank you." Des protested, standing up straight now, leaving his arms crossed.

" I would do much better than you Serina. I even asked him." Ashley smirked. She then remembered the scene, and then muttered a few things.

" Hah! That means you were turned down!"

" He said he only went with you to make you feel better about One Ear."

" NO HE DID NOT."

" Yes he did. He told me so."

" YOU'RE LYING NOW!"

" Am not."

" Yes you are!"

" No I'm not!" Ashley growled. She felt something happen to her, including her ears some way, but ignored it, although she suddenly cringed, closing her eyes and clenching her teeth. She then opened them; teeth still clenched, and saw Serina, eyes wide, her lips trembling.

" What?"

" Y-Your ears…" Serina stuttered, her pupils beginning to fade, her eyes going blank and white.

" My ears? Yeah. So? I have ears. What, you don't have ears?" Ashley asked, confused as she cocked an eyebrow at the older girl.

" But mine aren't horns!"

At the word horns, Amphie and Des jerked their heads towards Ashley, and gasped.

" She's not lying! She's not lying!" Amphie squealed, jumping back, her hands muffled over her mouth, as if she were to smother herself.

" What are you talking ab-" As Ashley reached her hand up to touch her ears, she found where they had been were not there anymore. She raised her eyebrows, and then smoothed her hair, trying to find them. Her hands hit something tough, and she followed the bone-like texture up. Ashley gasped, as she felt the tip of the horns. They were horns. No lying about it. The horns, she could tell, were large, over a foot long at the least, and curved back.

" HOLY SHIT!" Ashley yelped.

Des bit his lower lip, and cringed," Forgot. Fangs," he muttered, as he wiped his mouth, blood trickling down his lips and down his mouth. He glanced at his clawed hand, and saw blood," Darn it."

Serina backed away slowly, her eyes still blank," Freaks!" she cried out, and sprinted off and around the corner.

Ashley grimaced, and stepped forward to run after her, but Ampie put her hand on her shoulder, stopping her. Ashley glanced at Amphie, and sighed," Fine. I won't."

Amphie nodded and smiled warmly," Well…" she trailed off, glancing at the moon. " That was…"

" Odd." Des finished, nodding," But…" he glanced at Ashley," Do you know why you did that?"

" No way. Not like there was some weird liq-" Ashley then froze up," THAT LIQUID! I KNEW IT LOOKED BAD!" Ashley yelped.

" I think it might have been. Where did your Grandfather get it Ashley?" Des asked. Amphie looked confused, and Des glanced at her," I'll tell you on the way home." Amphie nodded in response, beginning to fumble with her tail.

" I have no idea. Couldn't have been from the supermarket…" Ashley said, in deep thought," Wait. Devon Corp. must have something to do with this. I know it. They're always testing stuff out on people." Ashley said bitterly, teeth clenched. Suddenly, she winced," And now I have damn fangs too! Just great!" As she talked, it was seen she did have a pair of sharp fangs, easily able to pierce through human flesh, or any for that matter.

" Hey Ashley! Something else is happening to you!" Amphie pointed out.

Ashley glanced back, and immediately saw a devil tail flex, coming out from under her dress. " OH SHIT! A TAIL!" Ashley then jerked her head towards her friends," I'm turning into…ugh…what was that dog again?"

" Houndoom, a fire/dark type Pokemon. In a Houndoom pack, the one with its horns raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role. These Pokemon choose their leader by fighting amongst themselves." Des replied, repeating some info from class.

" That means Ashley could be a leader! Look how sharp the horns are, and how far back they go!" Amphie yelled excitedly, pointing to Ashley's new feature.

" Amphie! Just, shut up." But actually, this was true. They were very large, and did go far back, and were raked and sharp. Ashley had some trouble holding her head up with these large horns fused on her head. Suddenly, she winced, and it seemed the metamorphosis had finally completed. Ashley now, right under her neck, had a skull plastered on, and at the back of her neck there was a bone, looking much like a rib bone that went halfway her neck. On her back were now three bones that followed the curves of her body, and around her wrists and ankles were two rings of bone. Not to mention, her hands now had claws, and she could feel claws penetrating her boots, almost going through. Her hair also got incredibly dark, a pure black with one red highlight a few locks next to her face on the right.

Ashley froze like a statue, and her skin began to grow paler, although it still had a black tinge to it. Her pupils seemed to be fading, and were blank and white as paper. Her mouth trembled like Serina's had done. Suddenly, she felt herself falling, as she closed her eyes and mouth, and fell forward.

Des quickly caught her, and sighed in relief," Heh. She got lighter, that's for sure." At this comment, he felt a kick in his leg. He yelped, and winced, clenching his teeth as he glanced down at the now large scar down his leg, luckily, not bleeding.

" She fainted!" Amphie cried out, obviously worried as concern trickled in her voice. Her eyes seemed to frown, along with her mouth, as she watched Ashley lying motionless in Des's arms.

" Let's get her home. I'll have a talk with Ashley's Grandfather." Des said, almost bitterly.

" All right. Need help with her?" Amphie asked.

" I don't think so. She seems to weigh only like, seventy pounds. And it looks like she's shrunk like two inches. She'll be easy to carry." Des said," But thanks. Let's get going."

Des placed Ashley over his shoulder, his wings covering her partly, as he started walking. Amphie watched for a few moments, then frowned and glanced back at the moon, and hurried off after.
