Chapter 5

As the team arrived the Hub, Sage walks toward them and ask of what happen, "Zoom got mutated into a mutant cheetah, Sage." Vert said and Sage gasped in shock, "But everything's okay. Zoom is able to control his mutation under his control," Agura said "Yeah… I feel a bit woozy," Zoom muttered as he was about to collapse. Stanford was beside him, he grabbed his arm and place it around his shoulder and takes him to the Medical room. Sage checks on Zoom while the rest of the team wait outside of the Medical Room. Then Agura asked Stanford about his date with Grace, "Oh, it's fine. And you won't believe what just happen," he said with a smirk across his lips. After Stanford explain his date Spinner burst out a laughter, "Really, man? You scared Sheriff Johnson off when he saw your snake features? Man, I should have bring my camera," Spinner laugh.

"Yeah… Grace might freak out if I revealed my mutation," Stanford said, "But you were able to control it right?" Sherman said, "Yes. But… you said it won't be easy to control it," he said, "I know it's hard, Stan. But you can control it with your emotions whenever you feel. Just don't get mad or stress your snake features will notice," Agura said, "Right." Stanford said with a small smile.

Then Vert spoke, "Maybe we should train to learn more about controlling our mutations guys." Then Agura say, "Maybe. Or doing a fighting style practice."

"Whoa! Fighting style you say? That's awesome!" A.J. said and Tezz rolled his eyes, "Hmmm. Maybe you're right, Agura. Doing a fighting style practice would be good." Vert said, "So tomorrow we'll train and practice to learn more controlling our mutation and learn how to fight with fighting style. Got it?" The team nodded in agreed.

Next morning, the Cortez brothers were in the rec room playing race car video game, "Hah! I'm gonna win," Spinner said, "No, you won't," Sherman said. When they play the game they fail to notice a hissing sound from the floor. A brown snake with small horns above its yellow eyes. It slid into the rec room and it went to Spinner's feet. The snake wrapped around Spinner's right leg and he felt it. Spinner look down at his right leg and scream when he saw the snake. He tried to shake it off but the snake kept its grip on his leg, "Aaah! Get it off! Get it off," he screams which lead the team to rush in the rec room, "Spinner, what's wrong," Vert asked as he saw the snake on Spinner's right leg, "Get this snake of me!"

"Fauve! Release him," Stanford scold the snake. Fauve the snake release Spinner's right leg and slid toward her master. Stanford bent down and as he did he extended his arm. Fauve slid up to his arm and now wrapped around her master's neck like a scarf, "Sorry, Spinner. Fauve wants to say hi," he said.

"Stanford, where did you get that snake and why did you bring it here," Tezz asked, "Well… I found her outside of the garage. She seem to be liking me and I was surprise that I can understand her whenever she hiss," Stanford explained, "Wait. You can understand her?" Agura asked in surprise, "Yeah. Since I'm a mutant serpent I can understand other snakes like Fauve here," he said and look at his pet snake, "Dude? You named her as 'Fauve'? What does that mean," A.J. asked, "Wild and uninhibited." Stanford said.

"Really? Stan, I don't think you can't keep her. She might bite anyone with her deadly poison venom," Agura said, "No. She has no teeth," he said, "I'll show you. Open your mouth, Fauve." Fauve obey her master as she open her mouth revealing no teeth which surprise the team, "Wow. No teeth. I wonder why she doesn't have teeth," Zoom asked, "I dunno." Stanford replied.

"Please don't let your pet snake wrap my leg again," Spinner begged, "Sorry. She was trying to say hi. And she likes to warp someone's or somebody's legs as a surprise," Stanford said, "Yeah, right." Spinner muttered, "Anyway, we should start train and practice for our mutations and learn how to fight," Vert said and his team nodded.

"Sure. Before we do that, I should take a bath for a while," Spinner said as he walks out the rec room. Stanford patted Fauve's head she hiss as she likes it when her master pat her head, "I can't believe she really likes you, Stan." Vert said, "Of course she likes me. Want to hold her," Stanford offered his leader, "I'll pass. I'm not very good holding snakes," he said, "How about you, Tezz?"

"No, thank you," he said, "I'll hold her," Agura said which shock her teammates, "Agura? You're not seriously," Sherman asked, "Hey. I know about snakes," she said Stanford handed his pet snake to Agura. "Hmm. What kind of snake is this, Stan?" She asked, "Oh, she's a horned viper snake," he said and that shock his team.

Meanwhile, Spinner was walking down the hallway. All of the sudden the lights of the Hub went black out, "Huh? Why suddenly black out," he asked himself and began to feel scared of the dark. "I gotta be careful. So… I won't get myself hurt," Spinner said as he slowly walk down the darkness hallway and just then bump into something, "Ouch! Oh, I just bumped a wall. Geez… I wish I could see through the dark without a flashlight," he said.

Spinner suddenly slipped, "Whoa!" His back slammed against the floor, he groan and felt something wet all over his body. Spinner's body starts to change in great pain, "Hey, what's happening?" The pain spreads all over within his body and scream before black out.

With the BF5, they were in the Hub's command station Sherman and Tezz tried to fix the power source of the Hub, "I wonder why the power source of Hub suddenly black out," Sherman asks, "I do not know. But we have to fix it," Tezz replied, "Whoa. This is way cooler," Zoom suddenly said, "What cooler, Zoom?" Vert asked.

"I can see through the dark," he said and Agura realized, "Huh. Guess you have the ability called night vision," she said, "Night vision? What's that," A.J. asked in confusion, "All animals have that ability to see through the dark. Such as cats and dogs, they can see through the dark during nighttime," Agura explained, "Since Vert, Stanford, Tezz, and Zoom were mutated. They can see too through the dark."

"Really? Huh, guess we can see through the dark without any lights," Stanford said, "I wonder my big bro is doing?" Sherman said, "Probably sacred of the dark," Zoom joked, just then Vert sees a gray blur fly by just above him and his team, "Guys did you see that?"

"See, what man?" A.J. asked, "I just saw a gray blur of… unknown or whatever it is," he said and this time, Zoom and Stanford, too, saw the gray blur fly by, "Vert, I think I see it too," Zoom said, "Me too," Stanford added. All of a suddenly a skin gray-like humanoid bat with sharp teeth and claws, pointy ears, red eyes, and huge wings on its back. It landed on the floor and screech throughout the Hub causing the team to cover their ears.

"What the-?!" Vert exclaimed in surprise, "What is that thing," Agura said, "It's a version of a vampire bat," Tezz said. Sherman looked closer to take a look of that vampire bat, it had a shock suit which shock him in realization, "Spinner?" And when he say his brother's name the mutant vampire bat lunged towards him with his mouth open revealing deadly shape fangs.

The Spinner Vampire Bat felt a wrap around his legs and pinned him down on the floor. Stanford was now in his mutant serpent form. His long serpent tail wrapped around Spinner's legs to keep him pinned on the floor, "SSSSSpinner… calm down. You can't hurt your own brother don't you," Stanford hiss and Spinner used his sharp claw and scratch his tail leaving a five open cut wounds. Stanford hiss in pain as he lose his tail grip and Spinner slipped out and flies away but stop again as Vert and Zoom were now in their mutant forms pinning him on the floor.

"Spinner, listen to us!" Zoom growled, "You have to calm down or you'll lost control of yourself," Vert said. In few moment, Spinner started to calm down and change back his normal form, "Ugh… what happen?" Spinner notice Vert and Zoom were still in their mutant forms and pinned him down on the floor, "Uhh… why you guys pinned me down?"

Vert and Zoom released him and change back their human form, "Sorry, Spin." They both said apologized. "Stanford, are you okay," Tezz asked, "Yeah. Just have five cut wounds that Spinner gave me," Stanford said looking down his wounded tail, "Let's fix that up." Agura said.

Sherman and Tezz were able bring the power back on. Spinner began to explain about how he got mutated himself while Agura takes Stanford to the Medical room. Agura ask Stanford to morph back his normal form and as he did he wince in pain. Stanford look down his left leg and sees five cut wounds are still there, "Ouch. No wonder my wounds are still there when I change back my human form," he said Agura gently wiped off the bloods and put some medicals. In few moments later, Agura wrapped a bandage on Stanford's leg, "There. Feel better?" Stanford nodded, "Yes. Thank you, Agura." She nodded in respond. They both walk out the Medical room and went to the Hub's command station.

All done. Tell what you think and I'll do another new chapter.
