Tests of Sorts Part 1

[Morphasis]

Prologue

The young Umbreon ran, her heart pounding like gunshots firing away at a fast rate. Tranquilizer darts flew past her ears as she ran. Her ruby eyes were clouded over in fear and pain. Cuts ran down her body. Some bled, leaving a small blood trail, while others were healing.

She closed her eyes. Make it go away, make it all go away... she willed herself to think that.

She hoped it was a nightmare that she would wake up from and be reassured by her family, licking her and calming her down. Then she would snuggle up by her other siblings and fall fast asleep.

How can it be a nightmare when I feel pain? How can it be a nightmare when you see your family killed? Tears slid down her face. This is no nightmare, it's worse than that... it's ****!

She tripped over a log and fell head over tail and landed at the base of the hill. She saw the menacing shadows of humans slowly creep towards the hill where she had fallen. She struggled to stand. Trees blocked her way to escape. "I have to fight..." she murmured to herself and tensed her muscles, ready to pounce.

She saw a human head peer over the side and beckon the others to follow. "Found 'er, get the tranq's ready!" he called and disappeared over the log.

She growled and her claws unsheathed. Her eyes were narrowed into ruby slits. More heads appeared and she saw the gleam of metal from the guns. She snarled and ran up the hill and lept, yowling.

They fired and all but three missed. She yelped as they hit her and she smacked the ground hard and rolled down the hill once more. Her vision became blurry and the pain from the darts in her chest began to dull. Her head swam in a thick murk and soon, she saw black.

Very nice! Though lacking in length, it's a worthy read. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Chapter 1

Small bubbles of air surrounded her as she slept in fetal position. Her arms curled around her legs as her dark blonde hair gently swayed in the bluish grey liquid. Scientists watched the vital signs on computers that watched her brainwaves, pulse, breathing, and body temperature. If something were to go wrong, then she would be lost.

Slowly, she opened her ruby colored eyes. Blurry visions of humans outside her tank moved and their chatter was muffled by the glass and liquid. She uncurled herself, standing in the tank, watching calmly as they looked at her in awe. "Why do you stare at me humans?"

"She's awake! Alert the others."

Why do they care if I'm awake? Why am I breathing underwater? She paused and looked at her hands. "OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!"

The Umbreon's paws were no more. They were hands. She pressed them against the glass and saw a mirror reflection of herself and her whole body. "My god what happened to me?"

She pushed against the glass, her tail brushing against it. Her ears were no longer erect, but more of a floppy type. She pushed again and her hands began to glow. The glass began to crack. The bluish grey liquid began to leak out of the small cracks. Some shards began to fall and the liquid gushed out.

Then, the glass flew everywhere, and cut through wires and cables. She fell to her knees and coughed up the liquid from her lungs. She found a pile of clothing and she grabbed it and ran, jumping over the bodies.

One of the scientists struggled to get up, a glass shard in his back, grabbed a radio phone and said hoarsly, "Test No. 15-7C escaped, send helecopters, anything to get her back..." and he fell back, unconsious.

Chapter 2 will come soon, sorry for a short post!

Chapter 2

Miro, another morph, only rapidash, walked along the pathways in the woods. "Never should of signed up for the lab tests. Psht, maybe never should've answered the door."

He sighed and slumped against the tree, leaving small scorch marks. His mane and tail were of fire, and he had a horn in the center of his forehead. Otherwise, he was mostly human. His eyes were the color of a Rapidash.

He heard something jumping from tree to tree and froze, listening quietly. He heard human's footfalls moments later. They were slowing, but the rustling of leaves indicated that whatever was in the trees was still moving, yet slowly.

A leaf fell on his nose and he blew it off. Looking up, he saw the slim figure of an Umbreon morph. He blushed and looked back down. "Oops." he muttered and felt his face get hot.

Suddenly, the footfalls stopped, as did the rustling, and he heard confused voices. "Where is she?" "She disappeared an hour ago." "I don't think we even have a chance of finding her." "Yeah, lets go."

The footsteps faded away into nothingness and he heard the voice above him, "Are they gone?"

He nodded, refusing to look up. "What?"

"Aren't you naked?"

"What the- NO!" and she jumped down. Miro now had a clearer view of her.

She was an Umbreon morph, slender and medium height. Her eyes were the soft ruby color and her coat was pitch black. Her rings were bright yellow, brighter than a regular Umbreon. He scanned her from head to toe. Fortunatly, she had underwear and a bra on, indicating she was slightly clothed.

"Can you help put these things on?" and she tossed him the pile of clothing she had picked up from the lab.

Staring, he sighed and said, "Put your arms up." She did and he slipped the light blue tank top on. "Now, lift one leg." he coaxed and she lifted it, and he put one leg of the jean shorts on. "I think you know what to do next, slip the other leg in."

She did, in the same leg. He slapped his hand to his forehead, shy of his horn. "No, not like that, through the other hole, the one next to it."

She nodded and stuck her leg into the other hole. Then, she pulled it up and looked at the zipper. "Um, just how do you do this?"

"Pull the part that sticks out up and then flatten it, then push the button, the circular thing, down."

She did, and she was done. "Now you look like some city morph."

"Um.... what's a city?"

"Oy...." he muttered and rolled his eyes. "Lot's to learn, but right now, start off with names. I'm Miro, yours?"

"Um..... Shadow?"

"Fits well enough, now for teaching...."

Hmmm...there's an edit button right there if you want to modify a post. Anyways, good job!

 

[Morphasis]

Eh, I didn't notice really, but thanks for telling me! ^^

Chapter 3

Miro taught her all the basics of a city, but she didn't understand and bombarded him with all of these 'What is..' and 'What are...' He finally gave up, exhausted.

Slumping down by the tree, he fell asleep. Shadow watched intently and sat closeby to him. She looked at her hands, and saw she still had claws and padlike material on her hands. Her feet were still paws, but were longer, more elongated than her old paws.

She sighed and sniffed the air. The scents of prey were all around her. She felt her urge to catch a Rattata as it scuttled past and stopped to eat at some seeds. Shadow's muscles twitched and she crouched down, her flanks twitching, she felt a small shimmer and she shrunk, her hands becoming paws and her claws were unsheathed. Her feet shrank down and all of her clothing fell off.

I'm back to normal! she thought with joy and she pounced at the Rattata, but it had seen her and she landed face first into the grass. She sneezed and got up, sniffing the air. Everything was silent. She looked worriedly at Miro, who was still asleep.

She ran over and tugged at his jean legs, growling. "Wake up Miro... Miro, WAKE UP!" and she scratched him across the face.

He yowled and held his hand to the scratch. "What the- shoo!"

Shadow barely dodged his hand. "Hey! It's me fool! Watch it!" and she jumped over his foot.

Both suddenly froze as they heard a helecopter beginning to buzz over the trees to the west. "Miro, get the clothing and hurry." she muttered.

He didn't have to be told twice and he lept out into the clearing, grabbed the clothing and dashed into the forest, Shadow at his heels.

The helecopter saw the boy grab the clothing on the ground and run with an Umbreon beside him. What they also noticed was that he had a flaming tail and mane. "Helecopter 09 to Base, heading north north west, we believe we saw Test No. 79-0A running with we believe is Test No, 15-7C. Request pursuit over."

"Request accepted. Go get them Helecopter 09. Over."

The helecopter radio buzzed off and began it's pursuit after both of the morphs.

Chapter 4

Miro and Shadow stopped in the thick woods, panting for breath. Shadow rubbed against the trees and sat down and began to turn back into her morph form. Miro turned and rummaged through her clothing.

He knew when he had first met her, she wore a bra and underwear, and they weren't in the pile, meaning she would still wear them. He sighed in relief and turned around and tossed the clothing to her. She slipped it on with no problems and sighed, leaning against the tree. "I think we lost them."

Miro nodded, listening carefully to the surroundings. He looked at Shadow and asked, "Can you keep lookout for awhile? I'll build camp."

She nodded and began to quickly climb the tree. She reached the top in five minutes and she peered out of the leaves and looked at the blue sky. Pidgeys and Spearows flew overhead and Tailows twittered beneath her. She sighed and hopped to a small branch that had another branch with sticks woven into it like a hammock. She reclined in it and she listened intently.

Meanwhile....

The helecopter continued North north west and they searched for the two tests, but they couldn't find them. "Helecopter 09 to base, we have searched and couldn't find them, perhaps they changed direction? Over."

The staticky response, "Probably. I'll send out Helecopter 11 and Helecopter 65, over."

"Thanks, Over and out."

They veered to the left and continued searching.

Shadow slowly began to doze off when she heard the whirring of helecopter blades to her left. She turned and saw them heading towards the North west. It was the opposite direction that those two were in, but she jumped down anyways and looked for Miro.

Finally, she found him. "Miro, I found a helecopter heading Northwest. Although it's not heading our way, it could turn around and find us."

He nodded and asked her, "Can you find some prey now? I have to finish the lean-to's and build a small area so we can have a fire."

Nodding, Shadow became her Umbreon form and dashed off into the forest.
