His body was nothing if not pain, everything hurt, his head, his leg, his back, his tail. A Burning sensation covered his entire being, as if he was on fire. He opened his eyes, and noticed that, of the few previous memories he clung to, his perspective had shifted. He must have wandered from the Barrels where he drank, or more properly rolled down a hill, because he was covered in Mud and now sat on a riverbed. He looked around and noticed instead of being below the grass he was now above it.

He had grown, a lot it seemed. Instead of being a Small Gecko he was at least 9 Feet tall now, with extremely powerful hind legs. He reared up on them, testing his sudden newfound strength. He could stand much taller on his hind legs, and he put his forelimbs against a tree. It shuddered under his weight, which must have been over a Thousand Pounds, and it made a terrible creaking noise as some of its internal structure broke. He put his clawed hands down, which dug into the mud, and he finally looked around him. He spotted the hill he rolled down, and he began to walk up it. His claws were useful for climbing, and he reached the top without much trouble.

Yep, he could see the spilled barrels. He only just now noticed he could think better now, unknown to him but the Mutagen had greatly expanded his brain capacity. He was much more intelligent now, and was fully able to process everything around him. He looked at the Large building next to the barrels. There was a Fence between him and the lot where the barrels were, with a Small Hole in it. He must have been growing still when he went through the fence, and he couldn't understand how he went through it either. He put his claws on the Fence, testing its strength, he gripped it in his claws, and he felt it begin to buckle, then with his strength he ripped it clean off and tossed it away into the woods, where it hit the ground with a Loud crash.

When his newly enhanced hearing he heard some noises from the nearby building, those two-legged creatures must have heard him. He quickly raced back into the woods, past the fence where he vanished from view of those creatures. He looked back at them, some had appeared where the fence had been ripped off, even from this distance he could see their confusion. He looked at the Stream nearby, it must have been filled by rain recently, since it was overflowing. He saw the Creatures wandering with them, shouting out to each other and holding stick-like contraptions in their hands. With some hesitance, he leaped into the river making a loud splash be thrown up into the air as he swam beneath the rushing water.

He hadn't known how to swim before, but for some reason now he could. He followed the path of the stream, going as far as he could from that strange place. After about 10 minutes he deemed he had gone far enough, and subsequently hopped out of the river. Nearby was another concrete structure, this one went over the water and connected to a Smooth path that stretched on For beyond which he could see. He was curious, of course, and walked towards the path. It was a Smooth Gray stone, with a Yellow line in the middle neatly going through it. He saw in one direction the path seemed to go south, a direction he seemed to have a sense for, and his eyes followed it, where, in the distance, he could see several taller structures which were massive and towered into the sky.

Intrigued, he began to follow the path when he began to hear a strange sound. It almost sounded like a constant screaming echo, except it wasn't and it was getting closer. He looked back at the Bridge where he saw a strange thing coming towards him, a Metallic thing almost as big as him on 4 Circle-like dark hands with no fingers. It was moving quickly, but as soon as it caught sight of him it made a screeching sound and came to a stop. Intrigued, he approached it, it tried to back away but he suddenly leapt forward, putting his claws on its metallic skin which deformed under his weight, behind what he had judged to be its face he could see another one of those creatures, which was speaking and had an unknown object in its hand which it held up to its ear. Suddenly, the metallic creature that he had his claws on began to back away, and with anger he dug his claws into it, which stopped it, and he then, with all his strength, tossed the creature off the bridge, he saw part of it flip open and the creature inside try to get out, but it impacted the water and was swept away, he heard distant screams which he paid no attention too.

His mind was exhilarated, he had won his first battle in his new self! He, of course, didn't know what he had killed, or what a GMC Sierra even was, but he didn't care. He turned towards the distant constructions, and began to walk towards them. He walked past a Sign that he couldn't read which read 3 Words

'OKLAHOMA CITY, 6 MILES'

He continued along the smooth path, his claws scraped the ground. His body was tingling again, like it was earlier when he woke up. As he watched a strange thing flew over him, a Tube-Like Object with a Tail and 2 spinning things, a Small one on the tail and another above it. He watched as it shined a Light at him, it was sunset after all, and he narrowed his eyes as he did it. It was annoying him, and he wished he could do something about it.

Suddenly, the tingling sensation ballooned into serious pain in his chest, which burned like fire. He reared back on his hind legs, roaring.

"SHREOOONK!"

The Flying object did nothing, shining the light further at him. He heard more of these things on the ground coming for him, making a separate strange noise at the same time. He was back on all 4s Now, and he began to waddle towards them, perhaps if he dispatched them they would stop annoying him.

He began to run, as fast as he could, the light still shined on him, and he let out a roar as he saw 3 more of the things on the ground coming towards him, these ones were smaller and a mix of black and white metal with colorful lights. He stepped one, disfiguring its front and grabbed it by its frame, tossing it over 15 meters towards one of the other 2, where it skidded to a stop after impacting a Guardrail. He heard the creatures speaking, and he roared at them again.

The flying thing now moved its light towards him, and heard some crackles and saw a series of flashes, followed by a stinging sensation on his side. He knew almost immediately it was something from the flying creature, and he reared back and roared again, only for more stinging to be brought onto him. He looked at the source, this time some more of those creatures had gotten out of the metallic ones and were now pointing their sticks at him, they must be the source of the pain!

He charged at them, they screamed, some ran, but he grabbed one in his mouth and tossed him hundreds of feet, stepping on another then roaring at one of the others, this time when he roared he felt a weird feeling in his chest, and he vomited. The Vomit landed on the creature, and it screamed as the Burning Vomit began to cause him to catch on fire.

Suddenly, there was a Sharp pain as something more powerful impacted him. It stung much more and he looked at the source, the flying creature. There was a Larger stick up there, and another flash as another pain shot for him. He roared in pain, he ran into the woods, knowing there was nothing to do about the flying thing. As he ran, dismay fell over him as he felt more pain. It was following him, shooting through the tree canopy. He quickly dove into a thicker section, but he could still hear the noise it made. The Light befell him again, and this time the Pain shot through his neck, he could feel blood gurgling in the wound, leaking onto the ground. His vision became shaky, and all he could do was collapse onto the floor as it all went dark.

"Command, we've eliminated the target. EMS To the scene, multiple officers down." The Co-Pilot of the helicopter said, he looked toward the body of the beast, visible through the treetops.

"What was that Thing?" The Sniper asked

"Don't ask me." The Pilot said, "I've never seen anything like that, never. That thing had to be over 20 feet, didn't the caller say it was like a big alligator?"

"That's what the caller said." The Sniper responded, looking at its Carcass. "It doesn't look like any Alligator I've ever seen, looks more like a Lizard, Gecko perhaps?"

"No Gecko I've ever seen either." The Co-Pilot said, "Besides, not even Alligators look like that, it looks like something new." The Co-Pilot thought for a moment, before speaking. "It looks like a Dinosaur kinda."

"No it doesn't, besides, they're all de-" The Pilot started to respond before they all saw the carcass, or rather, the changing body.

"What is it doing?" The pilot asked.

"It's Growing!"

He awoke to the burning sensation once again, but other than that he felt no pain, nothing at all to suggest he had ever been hurt. His limbs felt…different, his hind legs were bigger, his entire body posture changed and most of all his front legs had shrunk into arms. He was bigger, now standing like a Jurassic-Cretaceous Tyrannosaurid, a Theropod. But he had grown too, being perhaps 35 feet tall now. The Spikes on his Back had Grown, and he felt energetic.

He looked at the flying thing, which was shining its light at him. He raised his Head, which now resembled a Tyrannosaurid more, then he stood, his spikes brushing against the leaves, and anger overcame him as he looked at it. He inhaled, feeling heat building up in his body, and then let it loose.

A Colossal Roar, one louder than any land animal had let out in the last Fifty-Million years.

"SHREEOONK!"
