Pathfinder project (part 3)

All six of the newly formed geasult group were still in stasis by the time the scientists who had placed them into the room had left. It was probably a good thing to because no sooner had the last one left had the first stirrings of life occurred.

Saber had been the first to awaken; she felt light and slightly dizzy, her mind was in a sort of a haze. The tigress snarled the only thought that swam clearly through the haze was simple; my territory! Who dares enter my territory! Optics narrowing the tigress advanced on the still unconscious mechs and femmes that were in her perceived territory. Well that was until she was knocked over by something rather large and grey; Whisper the wolf had somehow guessed that the tigress was about to attack his pack mates so it was only natural that the instinct to protect had caused him to tackle the tiger to the ground.

Saber twisted and tried to bite him; but the wolf had already managed to get a firm hold on her neckplates. The two scuffled for a while before a demanding avian shriek caused then to jump apart. A large blue griffon stood frowning down at the two; a black and red dragon stood behind him giving an impression of deference to the blue griffon. The tigress snarled in defiance but a sharp lion like roar tinged with the shriek on an eagle cut her off. The griffon advanced on the tigress; knowing now her place she backed down, giving her deference to the griffon. The wolf had deferred at his shriek.

Meanwhile both the phoenix and the bee had awoken. The bee simply deferred to whom she saw as the queen of her hive the one whom to the others showed their obedience. The phoenix however squawked his own defiance he didn’t want anyone to rule him. Nevertheless he was also shown his place when the griffon advanced optics narrowing; the others falling into step behind him. With a frightened squawk he thought better of his defiance and deferred.

After a while their beast mode instincts; once sated, started to calm down. Allowing their original personalities to emerge…only they weren’t the same anymore. Each one noticed as they properly awakened that something was different; something wasn’t quite right.

“I feel weird” someone commented. It didn’t matter who as the others just nodded in agreement; they all felt weird. The sat in a brooding silence for a little while; still beast mode and all huddled together. Somehow to them it felt right; eventually though someone had to break the silence.

“Err…since we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together…who are you lot?” One asked it was quiet for a moment before the tigress spoke up.

“I am Saber…a scout” she finally spoke and transformed into her robot mode. She looked pointedly to the wolf who had attacked her before.

“I’m Whisper;... and I’m a medic” Whisper spoke with a little trepidation; the wolf transformed into his robot mode casting an apologetic look at Saber.

“Your name doesn’t suit you” one of the others spoke up; the pheonix.

“No I don’t suppose it does…I…I am…Windwhisper” the medic seemed to stand all the taller at the use of his new name. "Who are you?"

"I was Skyfighter...now, however; I am simply Sky an airial warrior" The newly renamed Sky transformed from his pheonix alt-mode the others stared at him for a moment; the former seeker caused confusion amoung the others. He'd seemed different before; instead of young he now seemed incredibly old and experianced. Nevertheless this was brushed aside quickly.

"I'm Drill" the bee spoke up quickly trying to get rid of the current uneasyness.

"Hmm that hardly suits you either" Windwhisper pointed out.

"No I suppose your right" she trailed off unsure

"Well you are a bee" Sky pointed out trying to help.

"Yeah! I'm Beedrill" she buzzed happilly; her new antenni flicked as she transformed grinning.

"What about you oh leader?" she asked a slight teasing tone crept into her voice

"I'm Dark" the griffon spoke up taking the teasing in stride, after all it looked as if it was indeed going to be his job to hold them together.

"Heh that definately doesn't fit your blueness" Saber spoke up grinning with amusement. Dark frowned looking down at his forefeet; his claws were black...

"I am Darkclaw" he spoke with sense of finality rearing onto his hind legs and transforming into his robot mode. Wings were new to him but he'd get used to them in time.

The five of them turned simultaneously towards their sixth, the dragoness had been watching them silently; they had found something with each other perhaps they could find something with her as well.

"I am Shadow" she spoke softly; keeping enough of a distance to still be polite, but distant. Curious Darkclaw reached out to the dragoness he remembered how when they had first awoken he'd felt her nose poking him prodding him into action in order to protect his team-mates from each other. He knew she did care for them if only a little; however he was stopped from physically touching her by the sound of the door opening.

Turning with a lions growl Darkclaw glared at the unfortunate scientist that had been sent to collect them.

"What do you want?" he hissed. A transforming sound to his left alterted him to the fact that his team-mate had transformed; casting a glance he couldn't help but notice that his opinion, she looked better than she had before; even if her body hadn't physically changed.

"Err I've been sent to collect you...Stance wishes to inspect you, before the combat trials that is" the scientist sounded nervous as all six seemed to bear down on him. Casting a glance towards his team-mates Darkclaw looked back towards the scientist.

"Then lead on" he told him; nodding the scientist did as he was told and lead the way to Stance.
