Part 3: Learning to Fly (the hard way)
I woke up at sunrise, took a shower, and put on what little clothes I had left. This wasn't much mind you my "pants" were torn and frayed and had a big hole where my tail came out. Surprisingly I had gotten use to my tail. I grabbed my cloak unsnapped the button and whipped it around me and snapped the button. I walked into the living room and stopped in front of the mirror. The button had the sign of Fanelia on it.
"Sweet." In addition, the button was right in middle of my chest.
"Oh yeah almost forgot my key. Can't forget that." I ran and got my key and shoved it into my pocket. I pulled up the hood of my cloak and looked into the mirror. The hood stopped just after my eyes.
"Double sweet." I left my room and locked the door behind me. Wait a minute. I think I'm going to test my wings I probably shouldn't, but I'm going to anyway. I thought as I turned and headed to a balcony. When I got there I climbed up to the roof using my claws of course. When I got there I pushed back my cloak and focused on extending my wings. My wings exploded form my back. It felt good, anyway after I stretched flapped and worked them at little bit I mumbled to myself.
"I hope nobody sees me." I jumped off the roof, opened my wings, and flapped them. CRACK! I felt a sharp pain in both of my wings. They were broken. (Duh.) I dropped. And I knew right then in a world with people I never knew that I was going to die. Not good. I strained my hearing and my sight and saw Van, Allen, Hitomi, Merle, and Reeko.
"Where is he! I don't have all day." Merle exclaimed.
"Calm down Merle he'll show." Allen said.
" Mayday! Mayday! " I yelled in thought and out loud.
"Where is he?" Merle asked again.
"Merle move!" Hitomi said coming out of a vision.
"Why?"
"Cause here he comes!" Van and Allen yelled in unison. Hitomi pulled Merle back just in time.
"Oh this is going to hurt!" WHAM! I hit the ground right in front of them. I felt my wings disintegrate upon contact. I heard a lota of people scream, mainly Hitomi and Merle. I think Merle ran away I don't know the only thing I could see was the ground. I felt that inch thick button shatter my sternum and it go straight through my heart. I groaned loudly. Van and Allen starting helping me up. I saw the townsfolk staring and whispering to each other. I was set gently back down.
"Nothing to see here folks, move along." Allen doing damage control the townsfolk leaving the streets scurrying into their houses.
Allen said as they helped to my feet. Hitomi turned, looked at me, and gasped.
"What?" Van asked.
"He's dying." Hitomi replied. Well duh.
"Wait how do you know?" Allen asked.
"I can felt it." Hitomi said.
"Let's get him out of here. Can you walk?" Van asked me.
"Yeah." I grunted and then coughed up some blood.
"Let's hurry." Allen said. They walked/dragged me to the back room of the tailor's shop. I couldn't see very well because my eyes started to bleed. They laid me down on a bed.
"He's lost alot of blood from internal injuries." said Allen.
"Let's resonate our stones." Hitomi said to Van.
"Right." Van replied. I felt my stone power-up and the silver aura coat my body.
"Man I hope this works. He's pretty cool for a cat." Allen said.
"I agree." Reeko said. I started to levitate and was turned 90 and my broken black wings extend.
" Mystic….Heal!" Van and Hitomi said in unison. My cloak unbuttoned and fell to the floor. I felt blood start to ooze from where the button was. I felt all my broken bones disappear. That was most of my ribcage, and my wing bones. The bone that punctured my heart (my sternum) disappeared as well. The holes in my heart closed up. The rib bones extended and reconnected to my sternum repairing my ribcage. All my bleeding stopped, infact all my blood disappeared. But technicality I'm dead. Kinda crapy ain't it? My wings bones reconnected and became stronger. I felt the impression of the button pop up and my chest reform. Then I felt all my bones and muscles strengthen to become as strong as steel. I felt my heart start to beat like a drum, strong, loud, and never ending, propelling blood through my veins. My brain shot to life. I felt my feet land on the ground, my wings being retracted, and my scars closing. I also felt myself return to my human form. I opened my eyes. It was very bright at first until my eyes focused; I didn't give them a chance to see me in my pitiful former form. I was weak I never will be again!
"Daaaaa! Rrroooaaarrr!" I got into power-up stance not to attack but to transform.
"What the…!" Van, Hitomi, Merle, and Allen said in unison.
"Holy shiznit!" Reeko said. There was an explosion of magical energy. I felt my body grow to 5'11", my face elongated to hold my developing teeth and grew whiskers, my weak human teeth were replaced by tiger's fangs and human molars, my ears swept back and grew 2 in, my muscles bulged like I did a triple Kaio-Ken to the Tyger's size, my claws sprung out my hands and my changing feet has I grew thick glossy golden-brown fur all over my body, my hair grew to super sayia-jin level 3's and turned black as night, and my tail slithered out and sagged like limp arm, until bone and muscle grew underneath it. Transformation Complete. The explosion had cleared just I was finished transforming.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR! III LLLIIIVVVEEE!" I shook the building with this roar; it was as fierce as Siberian tiger's. I felt totally calm, balanced, and as if I was made of liquid steel. My muscles looked like they were chiseled out of stone, I looked at the bottom of my feet there were tough black leather soles on them from the size change. What happened was that my human muscles were carried over when I first transformed and so when I flapped my wings my muscles weren't strong enough to support my weight, hence the crashing and burning. However, when I was restored my muscles were human muscles were increased to my Tyger's full muscle capacity, making me stronger than I've ever been before.
"That feels a lot better. Thanks." I said stretching.
"Uh we never got your name. What is it?" Hitomi asked as she handed me back my cloak.
"My name is Sage."
"Sage huh? Nice name. Now you must never do that again." Van said.
"Why?"
"Because you may think your wings are nice and are the signs of a angel, but here they are the mark of a demon. Use them only as a last resort."
"All right, all right. No more wings, got it." I replied. The tailor came in and measured me.
"Wow this is strange. This person fits the measurements exactly that Lord Van had sent me and I am finished." Tailor said.
"Well let's see it." Allen said. The tailor left and came back carrying a suit, set it on the table and opened it.
