Chapter 8 - A Changing Difference Part 2

Hours later, Splero and Lucario were tending with each other with bandages and medical potions on their own wounds inside their tent. Lucario kept on gazing Splero's subsequent "transformation"...

"You're really changed indeed, Splero. I can't believe it!" - Lucario said -

"Me neither, Lucario. We're quite the same too." - Splero replied -

As they continued on, Mike and Riolu entered and approached them to check them out...

"Hey, guys. What's the outcome?" - Mike asked -

"Splero won the battle, Mike. He finally defeated me with his saber on his hands." - Lucario replied -

"What?! Splero won against you?! That's not possible!" - Riolu exclaimed in surprise -

"I know but Splero changed. His changing appearance also gave him a edge to defeat me." - Lucario added -

Mike and Riolu then looked on Splero and they too got surprised by his new appearance...

"Wow, you're changed." - Riolu said -

"Really? So, what do you think?" - Splero asked -

"It's good to you. You look like a Lucario too." - Mike replied, snickering -

"Despite the red eyes and the fangs that i got today, it feels good to me indeed. I could even feel myself empowered too." - Splero said -

"I see." - Mike stated -

"By the way, is that the saber you used in the battle earlier?" - Riolu asked -

"Yes, Riolu. It's my Abezian National Saber. When i'm being proclaimed as the General of Abeza, i was being given a green beret, a pair of 4 Star General Shoulder Bars, a combat vest, a rapid-firing handgun and this single-edged saber." - Splero replied -

"Now, that's a lot." - Lucario said -

"It is, Lucario but i can handle these things at ease. I even brought it here just for my sake." - Splero added -

"Can we touch at it?" - Mike asked -

"Uhh...No, Mike. There were real guns. I put real bullets in them before i arrived here but you guys can just look on it, though." - Splero replied -

Splero opened his knapsack and pulled out his rapid-firing handgun from it. He removed the bullets from it so that it could be checked by the others...

"Man, it looks like a flintlock pistol to me." - Mike said -

"Small but dangerous enough for a general." - Lucario added -

"This is the gun that i used in the Abezian Emergency. I use that gun when i'm mounting on camelback." - Splero replied, snickering -

Kara and Vulpix then entered to the tent...

"Hey, guys. The meal is about to be cooked." - Kara said -

"Ok, Kara. How's Vulpix anyway? I heard that she fainted earlier on while we battle." - Splero asked -

"I'm ok, Splero. Thanks by the way for the first aid that you gave me from your medkit." - Vulpix said -

"Pleasure, Vulpix. My pleasure." - Splero replied -

Kara and Vulpix giggled along before they saw Splero's different appearance...

"Hey, your eyes were different. Are you ok?" - Kara asked -

"It's a long story, Kara but it's quite surreal." - Splero replied -

"We have time for that, Splero." - Vulpix said -

Splero sighed...

"Ok, then. I'll tell you why." - Splero replied -

Kara and Vulpix sat down. Splero clears his throat before speaking...

"My transformation began when i'm being "hunted" by Lucario one night. She explained that when her blood or bodily fluids were being mixed with others, they combined each other and grants the said person new changes on themselves. From mental to physical, it's a near-permanent transformation. It only happens when the said person suffered a adrenaline rush and it will last for a few hours to a few days." - Splero said -

Upon hearing that, Kara and Vulpix were surprised. Mike and Riolu too...

"So that's the reason for your changing appearance, Splero." - Kara said -

"Don't worry about this much, Kara. It only strengthens me much." - Splero reassured -

"Even your own personality, Splero." - Lucario added -

"Yeah. Even that too." - Splero replied, snickering -

The others snickered along too. They then went outside...

"Come on, guys. Let's get ourselves a bite to eat." - Kara said -

"The meals is up, guys." - Splero added -

All of them then agreed for their awaited supper.

This is the end of Chapter 8. Splero was now getting adapted with his new experiences along with his friends. Stay tuned for Chapter 9, everyone!
