The banging continues, growing louder and beginning to make dents into the heavy metal door. Finally the doors blast open, kicking up dust and smoke as the sight of 4 twisted and demented experiments step forward. The first was an over-sized mammoth of a man that looked like his skin had turned to pure earthen metals. The second was a small human child, barely the size of a 13 year old who was on fire with a sickening look of fright frozen on her face. The third was an older woman who was made of air, barely maintaining her form. The last was an elderly man that looked like his skin had turned to bark and his hair was made of animal skins, seeming to babble to himself quietly.
"By the light..." Gidrian says in a breath.
Sheikaris looks alarmed at the sight of the four various aged people.
"How..." Mindee asks quietly, getting cut off as the child begins to scream.
The first experiment charges, quickly being met by wolf Alex as she tries to hold him back, only to get blasted by the child, causing her fur to singe.
"Alex!" Sheik scowls, bending the metal of the ship to make a sword for himself as he charges the behemoth as Gidrian traps the child in an airlock of fast swirling wind. The woman of air rushes forward to send a large wave of air at Gidrian, causing the room to shake as she gives a battle-cry. Mindee scowls as she begins draining the heat from the child. The elderly man continues staying in the back, muttering to himself.
Sheik ends up trapping the monster that was the first experiment against the wall, metal bending around the creature to hold it in place. Alex causes the woman to disappear completely, losing her form and returning to the air. Mindee drains the child of the flame, leaving just a scorched remain.
Gidrian walks up to the old man, getting ready to stop him but is left frozen..
"Help.... me...." The elderly man croaks weakly.
"Did he just speak?" Sheik's eyes go wide.
"Help........ Me....." The elderly man continues to groan.
"Help you how?" Gidrian asks, concerned.
"By... dying..." And with that, the Elderly man had tree branches suddenly around Alex's legs, Sheik's arms, and Mindee's chest.
Gidrian's eyes glow gold in outrage, he grabs the elderly man by the throat, turning him into a tree.
The others struggle but break the branches.
"The poor souls that had to go through this..." Gidrian slips to his knees as a human, resting a hand over his face.
Sheik moves to check on Alex as Mindee walks over and rests a reassuring hand on Gidrian's shoulder.
"Guys!" Greg shouts over his shoulder.
The four turn their heads, their eyes growing wide.
"What's happening?!" Sheik shouts at Greg.
"I don't know! They say they are being attacked!" Greg growls, the screen's images beginning to disappear.
"Can they show you who is attacking?" Mindee speaks quickly.
Greg messes with a few buttons, the image comes up, causing the five to feel their hearts drop and their stomachs turn.
