Chapter 10: Tigon's Return

The battle was the hardest I've ever faced; Tigon was terribly stronger than I remembered. Taking him down would require me to use the weapons built by Alpha. Tigon had turned his attack to a nearby city; he's getting stronger with every building he attacks and destroys. If nothing is done, he will continue to get stronger and, to a greater extream, unbeatable.

"We need to get the other battle vehicals!" I yelled to Alpha, whom had retreated to the underground base. The ground began to tremble as Alpha returned in the Tiger Tank. The Tank was accompanied by the other vehicals: Panther Patroler, Cheetah Crane, and Jaguar Dragser.

"You said you wanted us, now you got us!" a voice rang out. "I'm the voice to the Jaguar Dragser; my name is Turbo."

"Ok, um, let's try to combine and beat this thing." the Patroler called out.

"Fine with me," I answered.

A computer voice rang out in all the vehicals, they went into morphed mode and then underwent a new change. The computer refurred it to as "The Mega Battle Vehical". The Patroller formed the torso and the head. The Tank and Rover formed the legs. The Crane and Dragser formed the arms.

Besides me and Alpha, there were three other people controlling the Vehical. Not only did the vehicals have a voice, but when there isn't anyone piloting the specific part, their personality created a person of their animal type to help pilot them. Thrasher was the Tiger Tank's personality; Turbo was the Jaguar Dragser's; Prowler belonged to the Lion Land Rover; Austin was owned by the Cheetah Crane; and the Panther Patroller was named Steel.

"Let's show him a thing or two when he messes with our leader." Turbo growled.

Even though I was controlling the Land Rover and Alpha was in charge of the Tank, Thrasher and Prowler were inside the vehical. They were there to help me and Alpha control our specific part of the Vehical.

"He's charaging, move right!" Steel commanded. The Battle Vehical ducked to the right, tripping Tigon. "Wild Cat Saber, we need Wild Cat Saber." A saber formed from the Crane's wrecking ball and the steel cable. The wrecking ball collasped in the middle so that it could be held. It was raised high above the Patroller and was brung slashing downward. They saber sliced Tigon right in have, but he remained standing.

"The saber will not be enough to take me out," Tigon laughed. "You can't destroy what doesn't want to be destroyed." Tigon flexed his hugh muscles. "You see, I'm all powerful and you are pitifully weak. You'll never defeat me."

I exited the Land Rover, "They may not be able to do so, but I'm another story. I've beat you once and I can beat you again. Morphed form exspand." I grew taller and stonger. I was slightly shorter that Tigon, but I still had an edge over him; I had the Mega Battle Vehical backing me up. "I'm going to need your saber for just a moment."

"I got a better idea, we'll combine with your body and defeat him together." The Battle Vehical seperated and began to attach themselves around my arms, legs, torso, and head. When the final changes took place, I felt stronger but I didn't physically get stronger.

I had complete control and use of the Battle Vehical that was now attched to my body. Tigon charged again; I lower my body. His stomach met my shoulder and he flipped over when I stood up. He landed on his back and the ground trembled under his weight.

He got back up, but I had summonded the Wild Cat Saber and it was energized and over my head. I swung it at Tigon, he had taken the deadly strike.

"I've may have lost for now, but I'll be back. Next time you will not be so lucky." Tigon fell. His body exploded when his body struck the rubble of a towering skyscraper. There was no fire after Tigon exploded. I returned to the underground base.

"That was a very excellent preformance. I've never seen a fighter with your capabilities before." Steel congradulated me. "If you didn't try to take on Tigon, we wouldn't have won."

"Yeah, but now he is stronger than before." I sighed. "We will try again or send someone to do his dirty work for him."

"Who would be that stupid?" Prowler commented.

"Last time, he built robot to do his work. This time he could use the Animen Project to aid him."

"But it'll take years before one is old enough to challenge you." Alpha cleared. "I was almost twelve before I even started weight training. We may be part animal, but we have a human growth schedule. If we didn't it would have only taken three years."

"Maybe, but he might be able to coax others to take a serum that will instantly change them. With what little I know of it, the Animen Project could have been a test to see if animal and human DNA could be spliced together."

"Chester, you're right. It was a coverup. It was used to make humans become half animals in a couple of hours. It required a simple shot in the shoulder and be exposed to the animal he/she wanted to become. It was given to people whom wanted to have a second chance of life."

"Whom received the shot?" Turbo asked.

"The elderly mainly. They didn't believe that it wasn't their time to go." Alpha continued. "Others were people that didn't have much time due to disease. A third group consisted of the rich and the general public."

"That would explane why Tigon attacked the labs; to cover us his tracks." I concluded. "He has the power to create an army of animen at any time he wishes."
