Chapter 49: regroup
—By Wyvernian
“This world will be mine!” Drain shouted, his voice sounding demonic and confident. But then he felt pain throughout his body, a stinging feeling that burned like acid. He shrieked in pain, “aghh! The transformation is not yet complete!” He yelled. He flew away towards the north.
“So, how’s it feel to be nameless?” Nova asked in between ice blasts. “You know nothing of being a guardian! Living your entire meaningless life just to be slayed! I have no name, I am only suffering!” Fjordur’s dragon yelled furiously. “Hmm let’s brainstorm, how about scaly?” “No!” “Rex?” “NO!” “Hmm maybe… Willy?” “What?! NO!” The dragon said before fireblasting. “How about unconscious!” Drake said before shooting quills at him in thorny dragon form. The dragon tried to block the quills with his arm, but they all penetrated his scaly hide, he looked at his pincushion arm then groaned, his eyes rolling up and he plummeted down onto the sturdy roof of the mansion. “Nice work!” Nova said. “No problem..” Drake said still a little sore from the fight. “You both alright up there?” Freya called from below. “Yup, but what are we gonna do with all these villains?” Nova pondered. Just then the dragon and shortstacks both vanished. “Where did they go?!” Freya said.
The same thing happened around the city, Just as Sheeri, Buddy, Skyocean, Yang and Steve were about to fight Pat he vanished, they looked over to the block of ice to see Jerry gone as well, and Apex’s unconscious body was missing too. Sig vanished out from under the creatures holding her down, Lil Jack and Michael disappeared, though June was still there arguing with the others over Ben, who was not pleased. “STOP! Where did those two idiots go?” Ben said, the others looked around confused. Caldren disappeared too, leaving a huge hole in the building, but Felswand was still there.

Rockwell’s arm had mutated away, he was not pleased to say the least. “Damn! Well, experiment 01 was a fail. Oh well, the others tell me that we are all from different universes, I always scoffed at the multiverse theory, but if they are correct perhaps I can use the sciences of their worlds to my advantage, that Doctor Bubba somehow concocted a serum capable of transforming the subject into any creature at will! Incredible! If I could get even a vial of this serum and mix it with my Edmundium formula, I would be truly unstoppable. But how can I get my hands on his research…” Rockwell had gotten quite good at writing his notes with one arm, but it was still difficult.
Milo and Ember were sitting idly in the throne room, “why have none of them returned.” Milo asked rhetorically. “Probably because they lost, the fights were not going well, that’s why I dipped.” Ember said. “Coward!” Milo shouted. “Says the guy who didn’t come at all because he’s mortal now…” Ember said with a chuckle. “Shut up!” Milo shouted. Just then the door opened, it was the King Titan. “The battle is lost, we must regroup. But the heroes have captured most of our forces.” He said. “So, leave them. Who needs em.” Ember said. “Ember, remember when us humans fought those people while you hid in the trees?” Milo asked. “Yes, I do recall this, but we weren’t “hiding” we were testing you.” Ember said. Milo rolled his eyes and continued, “well, right when they were almost defeated they all vanished. I assume this had to do with their friends tampering with their obelisk. Perhaps we could do the same.” “Onward then, to the black obelisk.” The Titan said. They marched down to the obelisk cave, passed the still broken Samuel. “Pathetic.” King Titan said. They figured out how to achieve their goal, all the defeated villains returned, except June, Zeer, Jethezzar, Drain, and Felswand. “Where are the others?” Ember asked. “Perhaps they have betrayed us..” King Titan said. “Not the bat, guy did some crazy witchcraft and almost killed that big iguana over there, I think he’s just leveled up.” Jerry said. This was the first time many of them heard him speak. “Helllllooo! CAN SOMEONE UNTIE US!” Michael yelled.
Drain didn’t know why he flew north, only that he felt called there. The voice was gone but the urge he felt from the dagger still drove him. He flew passed the green and gold trees around the city and reached a strange place that seemed to be made of someone’s guts. “It smells familiar..” Drain said to himself. As a desmodus he had a great sense of smell, but he didn’t piece this place and Rockwell together for a long time afterwards. He noticed the water in the place was abnormally purple, he guessed that perhaps there was trace amounts of element in it. Whatever the cause of the discoloration he knew a nice swim might ease his pain. He flew down to a purple lagoon and sat down in it, it was deep enough for him to drown in his old form, but now he had to almost lay down just to be almost submerged. There were definitely piranhas in the water, along with other dangers, but they knew he wasn’t to be trifled with. He sat in the pool and tried to relax, the pain eased. But eventually grew even worse, his fur began to fall out, several horns began protruding from his head, scales started to appear. By the time his transformation was complete he was more wyvern than bat.
