Genis: You updated twice today. Is that healthy?

Me: I DONT CARE!!!! THIS STORY IS AWESOME!!!! READ IT AND REVIEW!!! MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

Falls on floor, sprouting hair.

Genis: Talk about getting into your role... He doesn't own ToS or me.

Chris awoke with an ache in his muscles. "Oooh," he moaned.

Cain was next to him, smiling. "Drink this," he said, offering a cup of tea.

"Thanks," Chris said, taking the cup. He swallowed it down in one gulp. "My head feels…"

Cain smiled. "I know, I know. It happened to me too. Listen, as soon as you feel ready, meet me in my laboratory. I have something to show you." With that, he left the room, closing the door silently.

Chris lay in his bed, feeling the tea wash away the pain in his muscles. He sighed, and then got up. He was still stiff, (another tongue twister) but his curiosity overrode his soreness. He slowly made his way through the door, and was surprised to find Cain on the other side. He felt himself getting turned around. "No way," Cain said. "You need rest. My information can wait until you're ready." Chris walked back in, and fell onto his bed, already snoring.

Genis saw smoke. Too much smoke… "Damn," he said, pulling out his kendama. He ran into camp, finding Raine tending to a blazing fire. "What are you doing?" he yelled.

Raine bit her lip. "I was making pancakes…" she started. "But they wouldn't brown, so I… I thought it needed a bigger fire…"

"Pancakes don't BROWN!" Genis yelled indignantly. "You have to, AARGH!" he yelled in disgust. "IS THAT FISH??????" He stomped off. Where was Lloyd when he needed him? He stormed into Lloyd's tent, discovering… well… Genis turned red. Like, really red. Tomato red. Beet red. As red as you are after waiting this long for me to get the heck on with the story. His voice dripped menace. "Everyone here needs to…Cool…OFF!!!"

Regal walked into the camp, to witness the remnants of an Ice Tornado. Genis sat in the middle of it all, with a huge bump on his head. Raine was brandishing her staff after hitting Genis in the head, and there were chunks of ice and half burnt firewood everywhere. Lloyd and Colette poked their heads out of an upside-down tent, looking rather shell-shocked. Regal picked up a few chunks of ice and firewood, only to have them lifted out of his hands by Genis. "I'll get that," he said, using some wind and fire magic to melt the ice and reassemble the fire and tents. He walked out of the camp. "I need to get out of here," Genis said. Regal looked around at the newly reassembled camp.

"I suppose I had better get cooking," Regal said in a final sort of way.

Chris awoke. It was still early in the morning, but the pain was gone. He launched himself down the stairs to the lab. Cain smiled. "Good," he said. "Now, let me tell you about my plan… my plan that will change everything…"

Chris looked up. "Okay…"

Cain smiled. I have heard from my… sources…

Chris interrupted. "Other werewolves?"

Cain sighed. "No, I'm afraid the only lycanthropes left in existence are the two in this room. My brother passed away only a few years ago…"

Chris lowered his eyes again. He had heard about this man, but was too young at the time to remember him.

The pain in Cain's eyes disappeared. "Yes, he died. But, he did a great thing before he died… He gave you your gift… You see, a werewolf can only spread the gene once in his or her life…"

Chris frowned. "Does that mean that… after you pass it on… you… die?" The words croaked at the end.

Cain smiled. "No, his death was unrelated. He was rather old you know…"

Chris's face returned to normal. "Oh. Good. So anyway, what's this big plan of yours?

Cain laughed. "What do you know about the Chosen?"

Chris answered, "Well, I know his purpose, and all that…"

Cain smiled again. "Good. Well, the Chosen's group is near the forest at this moment… And nothing would give our race a boost like having the Chosen… join us…"

Chris's eyes opened wide. "You mean…"

"Yes," Cain answered back. I have already spread the gene to a young man in the Chosen's group. A man named Lloyd."

Chris opened his eyes. "So you want me to…"

Cain smiled. "Yes. Go to them. Spread the gene. I know it won't be easy, but…"

Chris nodded. "I understand."

"Good," Cain responded. "Then go. They are due south of here. And, by the way… You may find the journey quicker if you… change…"

Chris frowned. "How am I gonna,"

"Calm yourself…" Cain said. "Enter your mind… Find the beast… and unleash it."

Chris frowned, and did as Cain said. It was as though there was a tugging in his head, begging to be set free. He unleashed the power, and it coursed through him, which was equally the most terrible and beautiful thing he had ever experienced. He felt the fur growing. He let out a howl, an animal cry, and ran to the door. He felt more powerful than he ever felt possible. He leapt out of the house and howled again, running full tilt towards the unwary travelers.
