At 2100 hours
Thursday 13th May
TORI
The night was ours, as all eleven of us flew through the sky as great-horned owls
But I didn't care about the night. Didn't even care that I was the great killer of the night. All I was thinking about was the mission that we were doing. And how I was going in behind enemy lines to find their weaknesses and attack them
The only ones going inside that fortress was Adam, Mom, Ax, Jake and I. Somehow I didn't feel good about the idea
With my nightvision eyes, I could see the enemy fortress. I could see the patrolling Howlers and a few Chatrè-Controllers on the roof
(Hand here, guys) said Jake
One by one, in symmetrical fashion, we flew down and landed, before demorphing. As soon as I was human, I focused on the cobra DNA and felt the changes happening
I started to shrink, getting smaller and smaller, as my arms and legs withered and disappeared. I was soon a limbless, small Tori
My body began to elongate, getting longer and longer, as the small scales covered my skin. The fangs formed in my snake mouth, my eyes went lidless and I felt the folds of skin around my neck form into a hood and my tasting senses came alive
(Everyone ready?) asked Jake
He had already morphed to rhino, along with Marco, Sam and Jake. Mom and Dad were elephants with Cassie and Ax, while Leah was still as an owl and Adam had morphed into a cockroach. Mom picked me up with her trunk and I wrapped myself around her left tusk. I sensed her pick up Adam and hold him carefully
(I see a huge fence running around the perimeter) reported Leah
(A fence, not a wall?) checked Marco
(Yep, a fence and it's, oh wait, it's an electric fence)
(How many voltages?) asked Adam
(A lot, about 5000 volts I think)
(Is it continuous?) Cassie asked (Like, are there posts or what?)
(There are posts; it's like one of those security electric fences)
(Everyone, let's cause some damage) said Jake
(Rachel, will you do the honours?) asked Marco
(Let's do it)
And so we charged, down the field and straight towards the electric fence. Here, I felt a shock of panic. Mom might survive an electric shock, but Adam and I won't
(Aim for the posts) said Jake
BAM!
CRUNCH!
(Ha-ha, this is cool) laughed Mom
I sensed all the demolition morphs breaking down the posts to get through
TSEEW! TSEEW!
(Ow, that hurt) cried Marco
(Keep pushing) said Jake
Then, all at once, I felt the fence give away and collapsed, the electricity going out. It was as if it was surrendering to us
I flicked my tongue and touched it with the Jacobson's organ. A new sense overwhelmed me. Like a bug, but bigger
(Let them come) cried Mom (I'm gonna squash some bugs)
(Thanks Mom) said Adam
(Sorry love)
I uncurled from the tusk and dropped to the ground. Chatrè-Controllers were coming for us, each of them holding Dracon beams. I slithered, as fast as I could, to the closest Chatrè. I reared up, flared my hood and struck, my fangs pumping venom into his leg. The Chatrè fell back, overwhelmed by the venom
(Hey, Ax, can these things see in the dark?) I asked
(No, I don't believe so)
"RROOWWRRRR!"
A tiger's roar. I tasted the air and found that it was Jake, slashing and roaring at any Chatrè that came close
(This is cool!) laughed Sam
I slithered around, striking and poisoning the Chatrè as they came at us, firing wildly
BANG
I saw Dad and Cassie bashing against the door, trying to break it down
TSEEW! TSEEW! TSEEW!
(I'm outta here) said Adam
(You're going now?) asked Mom
(Yep)
He must have jumped off, because I could hear Mom telling him to come back
"What's going on here!" cried a voice
"Who's not in morph?" I thought
I slithered over to Dad and Cassie, just as the door fell down
(Alright, let's go, Ax and Rachel, with me) said Jake
I sensed him demorphing from tiger to human and then morphing to cockroach. Mom and Ax were demorphing. Mom remorphed as the cockroach, but Ax went inside
(Come on, you weaners, I'll take you on) cried Dad
An elephant's cry of pain and fury. I slipped inside and saw the battle unfolding with my tongue. Two elephants and three rhinos were charging and causing a huge amount of destruction, knocking down pillars and bashing against walls. Chatrè-Controllers were firing Dracon beams at them, only to get sent flying from Dad or Cassie's trunk. I saw Ax fighting, his tail snapping like a bullwhip, striking hard and fast. A bug foot landed next to me. I hissed and struck, pumping venom into the Chatrè's bloodstream
(Ax, morph, now, Rachel, Tori and Adam, tell me where you are) said Jake
(I'm near the door, biting anyone who comes near me) I said
(I'm with Adam, staying in the shadows) said Mom
I saw Ax moving away to morph. I looked around and saw two cockroaches come over to me. I tasted the air and saw that at least two Howlers had joined the fight
(Howlers are here) I said
(Tobias, Cassie, Marco and boys, get out NOW) cried Jake
The stampede left, making a bigger hole in the doorway. Then, I tasted a new scent. A human scent. A male human with blond hair
(Who is the blond haired guy?) I asked
(David) answered Mom
I saw another two cockroaches come over
(Tori, that is you, right?) asked Jake
(Nope, it's Stretchy the snake) I said
(Keep to the wall and let's go) said Adam
(Follow me) I said
I pressed myself against the wall and slithered along slowly, staying in the shadows, as four cockroaches followed
David left the room, after ordering the remaining Chatrè to repair the damage. I came to a door and stopped
(Oh great) I said
(What?)
(There's a door here and I don't exactly have hands)
(Alright, we'll go under, Ax will demorph and open the door for you)
I waited as the cockroaches slipped under the door. I waited for the door to open, flicking my tongue in and out
The Chatrè hadn't noticed me. Good
I heard a few cries, then the vibrations as several large things fell to the floor
(Hurry up, Ax)
"What have we here?"
I looked around into the eyes of a Chatrè-Controller. I hissed, flaring out my hood, daring them to come near
"Get it"
His companion reached out for me, but I struck, sinking my fangs into his hand. He pulled back and I tasted venom on my fangs
The door opened
FWAAP! FWAAP!
Both Chatrè fell, I slipped inside. Ax closed the door and started to morph
(You took your time) I said
(Come guys, let's go) said Jake (Let's find what out what we can destroy)
