What he finds is a Dathomirian girl huddled near a fire, she seems to be a young child. Fox would say eight or nine, she looks up at him with a passive look. The girl shivers and looks up at Fox with wide, pleading eyes. Some sort of magic strikes Fox as he yells out and falls to the ground.
The girl gasps and covers her mouth. As the pain seems to be at its absolute worst, Fox feels his body begin to move and shift underneath his blacks. So as quick as he can, he begins to rip his shirt off. Little did he know that he was literally ripping and tearing it off with his new claws. After getting it off, being free from the uncomfortable feeling of the material, he looks at his hands, seeing them rearrange themselves into paws, black fur growing all over them.
Fox feels dizzy, from both the absolute shock horror of what's happening and the immense headache, thundering around his head. He holds his head while looking down, being careful not to cut himself. His eyes widen as he sees his feet rearranging themselves into haunches, feeling and hearing them crack, making him cry out at the pain. He falls to the floor, clutching at his stomach as his body grows, stretching out a little, becoming more streamline. He scratches at his skin, feeling a fuzzy kind of sensation as fur grows all over his body.
It's mostly orange, but there's some white on his chest and black all over his legs and paws. He looks around the room, everything seems to be getting a tiny bit bigger, but not by much. Fox is also much more animalistic looking now. Fox makes a cross between a growl and a groan as he bares his sharp teeth, immediately shutting his eyes as his face elongates into a snout, whiskers growing out of it, his ears becoming pointed.
While trying his best to stay standing, even if it's on all fours, his bones become thinner and lighter. But it's no use, his legs give out and he falls to the ground with a whine. Just as he thinks that it's all over, he yelps as he feels something grow out at the bottom of his spine. He looks behind him to see a big bushy tail growing longer and fluffier, swishing around behind him. It has tinges of black and white in it, but he's forced to look away as the pain in his stomach returns.
He feels cracking along his back. Fox has no idea how much more of the pain he can take, until it all suddenly subsides, his vision fades as he falls into darkness, and everything goes black. Are you okay in there, Vod?!! After a few seconds of frozen silence Thorn sits up and looks around, that fox had his brother's eyes.
Thorn knows his brother, those green and blue eyes are the ones that would comfort him when he was a cadet. That fox was his brother. He has to find his brother, he needs to help him. Who knows what could happen to him out on the streets of Coruscant. Thorn quickly finds one of his brothers to take his patrol, then he runs out of the Coruscant barracks and into the streets.
Thorn heads to the window that Fox had smashed when he jumped through it, he then looks around to see if there is anything to show that his brother had been there.
He sighs but decides to start searching the most direct route from the window. He walks down the path a little ways, that's when he starts to notice that some people's garbage is scattered around.
Then he notices a little bit of orange on a corner of a building, he walks up to it and kneels down. It's fur, fox fur to be exact. As he gets closer to the alley, some empty cans roll past him, hearing something rummaging around in the dumpsters. He looks around the corner to see Fox, scavenging for whatever food he can find, kicking away the empty packaging. Thorn sucks in a deep breath before finally stepping forward. The noise thankfully drowns out his footsteps enough to get closer to his brother without being heard.
He's careful to not let Fox's tail touch him while he climbs onto a dumpster. It will at least let him have a slight height advantage. Being a Coruscant guard has meant that he's had to go through all kinds of situations and learned how to get around them. But this… he has no idea if what he's about to do is actually going to work or not. He prays to the force that it does. When he sees a window of opportunity, he launches himself onto Fox's back. Fox instantly growls, letting out a combative call, a sign of aggression.
He jumps and bucks around, making it difficult for Thorn to keep a hold on him, not meaning to grip onto and pull Fox's fur that causes him to howl out in pain.
Fox come on, I know you're in there, Vod! Snap out of it--! With one final whip around, Thorn is thrown to the side of the alley, hitting his back against the wall.
He's glad that he has his armour on and all, but the impact still hurt him like hell. Getting up with a groan, he sees the fox prowling around and coming towards him slowly. Thorn narrows his eyes in determination, he decides to do something stupid. Fox tries to knock Thorn off at first, but Thorn just holds on tighter. His eyes are full of fear and guilt, as his ears press back.
But Thorn just has to make sure. He slams himself into his brother, pulling Fox against him in a hug. Fox himself tears up a little and snuggles into his younger brother as much as he can. After a few minutes Thorn pulls away and looks at Fox.
Thorn smiles, patting Fox's chest before standing up and grabbing his helmet, he's glad that his Ori'vod has come all the way back to his senses. As he begins to walk away, he notices that Fox hasn't moved, staying right where he is. It's only slightly deeper, but it's more gruff and has a sort of growl to it. I-I couldn't control it. He picks at the food on his tray, only taking maybe a tiny bit every few minutes.
See ya later Little Bird. CT looks back at his food and then to CT's tray, frowning when he sees that he hasn't eaten a lot of his food. CT walks through the halls of Kamino back to his bunk, alongside his batchmates, after his training is finished. He's feeling exhausted, not eating enough beforehand has made him tired and energy deprived. He stifles a yawn, but fails, letting the others know how tired he is. They all smirk when one of them sticks his foot out. CT gasps as he trips over, falling to the floor and groans from the stinging feeling of the cold floor hitting his skin.
And the way you eat it too, it's so weird. The rest of his batchmates continue to bring him down. CT wishes that he never told the others about his dreams, where he wants to be, what he believes his purpose is in the war. He's always wanted to bring justice and order, patrolling the streets and helping others. He's never really been keen about being on the frontlines, being surrounded by death, watching his brothers fall. No, he'd much rather do his part for the Republic on the streets of Coruscant.
I have to just work hard and I'll be just fine! They all laugh at him. They all see CT coming towards them, a look of anger in his eyes.
He's such a thorn in our side. He then turns back to the batchmates. No one knows the future. He will never be strong enough to be a Coruscant guard. Once the both of them walk to a quieter corridor, the sound of sniffling echoes around, making CT turn his head to see CT with tears that had welled up in his eyes earlier, rolling down his face as he sobs.
You will be a Coruscant guard. I promise. You are not weak. Don't let them get to your head, if you weren't doing well, then you wouldn't be here training to become a Clone Commander. Now, I'm not letting you stay another night with those bullies, so until the Longnecks can transfer you to my group and get you a bunk of your own here, you can come and sleep in my bunk if you'd like?
Let's go to Nala Se and then we'll get some shuteye. Thorn snaps out of his memories, triggered by the nickname, to see his Ori'Vod shaking a little, making him worry.
It's alright, everything is going to okay. He's not sad about the fact that he could have been killed by his Ori'Vod, but the way that Fox thinks that it's his fault. No no, what happened wasn't your fault at all. It was that thing, not you. You'd never hurt me.
In fact, you made me stronger. Always picked me up and made me feel better when I couldn't. Fox continues to back away, making Thorn stop. You knew me for about ten minutes when you swooped in and saved me. A weakling that should have been put on janitorial duty. Don't call yourself that!!
You are the most protective brother I know, you would protect me with your life, even if I'd rather you not. Fox looks up at Thorn, his ears are still pressed back. I was so close to…" Fox doesn't even want to say what could have happened again, he hates it. Thorn sighs sadly, but he looks at Fox with determination.
I trust you. Please don't leave me, okay? I can't lose you, Foxy. Fox slowly walks up and Thorn kneels down, Fox places his forehead against Thorn's. You're my Little Bird, I love you. Once they're back at the barracks, heading in through the back entrance as not to be seen, they walk to Fox's room. His door is still wide open from earlier, so Fox pads his way in first while Thorn keeps a lookout.
After making sure the coast is clear, he hears a small whine from inside the bedroom. Everything alright? I don't want to be alone. I'll stay here for the night if you'd like? Thorn brings the chair over from Fox's desk and sits down in it. It's very comfortable because Fox will stay up for most of the night working at his desk, so Thorn got him it as a present for being the best Vod ever. If it makes you uncomfortable, I completely understand if you don't want to.
I just didn't think that you would be comfortable with it. I'd love to, Foxy. Thorn climbs in next to him, lying close to his Ori'Vod, quite liking the soft feeling of his fur. I love you. The both of them look confused, until realisation dawns upon Fox's face. If you wish to visit the Spire, we can transport you there.
The Spire - teleports you to The Spire. Alz'ein Alz'ein: Hmmpf. Move along. If you've collected any paraginium, I have items to trade for it. Yolande Yolande: Greetings, Hero. I've heard great stories of your exploits on this world.
Will you help us further in establishing our new home? Talk Yolande: Atrea was our greatest city on Somorah. When the ancient danger arose again on our old world, we pooled all our energy to move it. Yolande: While we can no longer make our own dimensional portals, we were able to expand upon one that The Professor showed us.
Yolande: We were unable to control where the city appeared here though Yolande: Our aversion to light makes us very vulnerable here. The lens above the city keeps us safe at present though. Yolande: The desert does present Quests Yolande: Our position here is still precarious. Tek'zen Tek'zen: Don't worry, my love, the light cannot reach us here.
