Here it is. Sorry I took so long. I'm not feeling well though but anyway enjoy the mutation story.

Chapter 4

Stanford walked out of his room and was in his civilian. He was ready for the date tonight with Grace and is worry about his mutation. But he remember to control it by using his emotions whenever he feels. As he went to the Hub's command station and head towards his car, "Hey, Stanford. You're going out for a date with Grace?" Agura called out. "Yeah. But I'll try to be careful of hiding my snake features. So Grace won't freak out," he said, "Good luck, man." Zoom said. As Stanford got inside his car and drives away Spinner looked at his younger brother, "You think he'll be okay?"

"Don't worry. Stanford will keep his mutation when it under his control," Sherman said to his older brother, "Yeah… I hope he doesn't let his hissing noise if he talks to Grace," Spinner said. Stanford has finally reached the diner where Grace is waiting for him, "Hello, love." He greeted her, "Hi, Stanford." She greeted back with a smile, "Ready for the date?" Grace nodded as she climb in the Reverb.

Stanford drives through the road with the music on and Grace loves the song. He look at her with a smile and he heard a police car. Stanford looked to his left window seeing Sheriff Johnson drive his police car. Sheriff Johnson block the way which halt Stanford's car. He groan in annoying as Sheriff Johnson exit out his car and walk towards him. "Sheriff Johnson… Good to see you. I wasn't speeding, ya know," he explained, "Didn't I told you no music in the middle of the desert, son?"

"Yes… but it's too quiet," Stanford said, "Rules are rules. I'm gonna give you a ticket for disobeying the rules," Sheriff Johnson said as he took out his pen and note pad. Stanford was mad now which cause his snake features to be notice. Sheriff Johnson was about to give the ticket to him when he sees Stanford's human eyes to serpent eyes which freaks him out. Sheriff Johnson back away in fear of seeing his serpent eyes, Stanford hiss at him aloud and Sheriff Johnson scream as he quickly got in his car and drove away.

Grace was blinked in confusion of what happen. Stanford sat down and looked at Grace, "What was that all about?" He replied to her, "Oh… I just… um… I don't know. Anyway let's continue our date shall we?" Grace frowned a little before nodded. Back at the Hub, Tezz was examining the 5 other Oozes. He held up a cheetah DNA, "This Ooze is quite very interesting. Whenever someone or somebody get exposed by these Oozes they will mutate into any kind of dangerous animals. Since Vert, Stanford, and I were already mutated into mutant animals. Vert is the Saber-Tooth Tiger, Stanford is the Serpent and me, the Wolf." Tezz said, "But… if someone get expose by this cheetah DNA… that would be very dangerous and no one can't catch the fast animal," he said as he exit out his lab with the cheetah DNA in his hand.

Tezz noticed Zoom running towards him. The young scout bump Tezz cause him fall and the Ooze slipped out from his hand. He glare at Zoom before he stood up, "Zoom, watch where you're going!" He scolded him, "Sorry! I'm in a rush because Vert called me and-" Zoom began as he felt something wet all over his body. Zoom suddenly felt in pain, "Hey… what's happening?"

His body is starting to change him. His human skin is cover with golden fur with black spots all over, long smooth tail from behind, sharp teeth and claws, his height grow taller about 6 inches than his normal height, and his brown eyes changed into amber eyes. Zoom's mutation is complete he become a mutant cheetah.

Tezz was in shock at Zoom's mutation, he took a step back as the young mutant scout growls at him, "This is not good…" He muttered and Zoom lunged toward him. Tezz quickly dodge and switch his human form into mutant wolf form ready to fight. In the Hub's command station, Vert suddenly heard something. Well… all saber-tooth tigers can hear something far away from them. Vert listen the sounds and a howl was heard throughout the Hub. Which jumped the rest of the team in surprise and fear, "Dude was that Tezz howling?" A.J. asked, "Yeah. But why he suddenly howl," Sherman asked confused, "He's in trouble." Vert said.

"Trouble? How do you know?" Agura asked, "Because I sense it. Tezz is fighting against another mutant," he said which made the team in shock. Before anyone could say, a mutant cheetah bolts out into the command station. The team gasp in shock and as the mutant cheetah run toward the tunnels, "What was that?!" Spinner exclaimed, "It looked like a version of a cheetah," Sherman said, "But what happen," A.J. question, "Zoom was mutated and now he became a mutant cheetah." Tezz's voice said as he was now in his human form with his hand gripping his right arm.

"Tezz, what happen?" Agura asked and after Tezz explain his team, "That's no good… we better catch him before anyone in Handler's Corners gets hurt." Vert said as he run towards the Saber.

In Zeke's diner, Stanford helped Grace climb down from his car, "That was a great date, Stan." She said with a smile, "Yeah. Maybe was can have another date in next week?" Stanford suggested and Grace nodded in agreement. Just then, the people of Handler's Corners started to scream in panic and fear. "Hey, what going on?" Grace asked, "I dunno-" Stanford began when a massive roar suddenly throughout the town, "What was that," Grace exclaimed in shock when she heard a massive roar. And all of the sudden a mutant cheetah dash by them as he run towards the Salt Flats. "What is that thing," she asked shock of seeing the mutant cheetah, "That's doesn't look good… Another mutant?" Stanford muttered with shock tone.

He turn to face Grace, "Grace, go inside the diner now," he said, "But… what about you?" She asked worried, "I'll be fine. I promise," he said with a nod from Grace, she instantly went inside the diner. Stanford heard a beep coming from his com-link watch and he answered it, "Hello?"

"Stanford, we need you right now!" Vert's voice ordered through the com-link, "Alright. On my way," he said as he got in his car and drove off towards the Salt Flats. In the dessert of Salt Falts, the mutant cheetah runs very fast and the team tries to catch up, "Man! He's very fast for a teen," A.J. said, "Of course he's fast. When Zoom was mutated into mutant cheetah… there's no way to catch him," Tezz said.

"Well, we better catch him before he do something bad," Vert said as he punched up the gas. The BF5 tried to keep up but the young mutant scout is too fast, "We'll never catch him!" Spinner said and all of the sudden… a blur of purple and white suddenly take down the Zoom Cheetah. The team halt their cars and quickly exit out, "Dude, what was that? I just saw a blur of purple and white… and where's Zoom," A.J. question, "He'sssss right here," a high-pitch hiss voice said.

The BF5 look toward the high-pitch hiss voice and saw Stanford in his mutant serpent form with his long tail wrapped around the Zoom Cheetah. Zoom tried to break free from Stanford's tail grip but it's too strong to break free, "Nice job, Stan. But… where did you come from?" Vert asked, "Nowhere." Stanford said Vert shrugged and approaches the young mutant scout who growl at him.

"Zoom… listen to me. You have to stay calm. If you don't you'll lose control of yourself and you can't remember of who you are and your friends," Vert said as he tries to calm down the young mutant scout. When Zoom hear Vert's words he starts to calm down and slowly change back his normal form. Stanford loose his tail and released Zoom, "Ya alright, lad?" Stanford asked before he morph back his normal form.

"Yeah… I think," Zoom said feel a bit dizzy after his mutation, "C'mon. Let's head back to the Hub," Vert said Stanford helped Zoom climb on the Reverb as the team head toward the Hub.

All finished. I'll try to think on another chapter.
