The dreaded two-headed beast had entered the room. Saliva was dribbling from its mouth and onto the floor. It continued to make constant noises out of its mouth that were unheard of and out of this world.
The second that Numba saw it, his legs started to shake, and he had almost collapsed.
“I knew something had to be up…all the red flags were there, talking about death and getting Involved with NIRV. They’re making us fight real beasts! The things that our bodies are based on, how are we meant to win against that!” Numba argued. “How are beasts even a thing…how is one standing in front of us!”
Although Sty was having a go at Numba before, he even seemed hesitant to go in and attack such a thing. It wasn’t what he had expected either. To be honest, he hadn’t actually read the document and just signed the thing when he saw the others had as well.
“Haha, now this is more like it. I knew coming to the AFA was the right thing to do!” Apollo said as he punched his hand into his fist.
The next second, they didn’t have time to think because the beast was already heading straight toward them. With its large body and on all fours, it began to run across the floor like a crocodile, but each footstep was hard, loud and clear.
The first one to change into their Altered form was Sty. Flying up in an attempt to avoid confrontation with the beast. Numba was still too nervous about moving but knew he had to do something, or he would end up being eaten by the two heads. He could already imagine his body being split in half.
Just as Numba was in the middle of his transformation, he saw Apollo running forward, heading straight toward the beast. He had a smile on his face as he did so. Then midway, as he ran toward it, his arms started to change, becoming larger and turning white in colour, with a type of soft fur around them.
Then, just like the beast in front of him, Apollo was running on all fours. The beast opened its mouth wide, baring its two fangs. Apollo had leapt up in the air. His two large, now white fists had turned into deadly claws. Throwing them down, he bashed both of the heads with his hands banging them into the ground. Its mouth was closed shut in an instant.
The floor shook beneath when Apollo’s feet landed. It was as if he weighed several tonnes, and his attack looked like they had the weight behind them as well. The beast had been stopped in its tracks. All that momentum it had built up had come to nothing.
‘Wow, this is the first time I have ever seen Apollo fight before.’ Numba realised. ‘I wonder what type of beast he has, to have white fur?’
Soon though, the heads of the beast started to struggle. It was moving about, shaking it left and right. Apollo kept his large paws on the beast, holding it down, not getting it to move.
“Well, are you guys going to do something to help or what!” Apollo shouted. As he finished saying those words, the tai
l from behind the beast, which looked to be too short of reaching, had extended itself and swung right round.
The hammer tail could be seen heading straight towards Apollo and had hit him right in the chest. The next second he was sent flying and crashed into the wall before falling onto the floor. Blood spilling from his mouth.
“It looks like that thing has some power after all,” Apollo stated, getting up. “If only it didn’t have two heads this would be no problem, or if you two were a little useful. But don’t worry. Even if you don’t help. I’ll kill this thing on my own because that’s what I always do.”
Walking forward, Apollo’s eyes started to change, becoming completely black in colour. It looked like he was ready for round two. However, the beast didn’t turn to look at Apollo. Instead, it was now looking at Numba, who was closest.
It then began to run towards him with its two large mouths.
“Crap, do I charge forward just like Apollo did? I have a feeling if I did that, then I would be the one that was knocked forward, but I have to do something!”
In the middle of his thoughts, liquid had come out from above and had managed to hit three of the eyes on one of the heads. Numba recognised this liquid well and knew the acidic pain that it would produce.
One of the heads was screaming. It had slightly veered off course and didn’t know where it really was going.
“Sty, make sure one of the mouths is shut!” Apollo shouted.
Hearing this, Sty flew into the head, which he had spit his acid on, and kicked it hard. He continued to fly around, hitting the beast in the head. Its tail was swinging recklessly, trying to swat Sty out of the air, but Sty’s fast reflexes were working for him as they usually would have.
“Damn it, even that damned bug is being more useful than me. I have to…I have to help in some way.”
Numba used his explosive power to run to the beast, and since its tail was in the air, he was able to right up to the base of the tail. Stopping suddenly, Numba charged right in and hit the base of its tail with his horns, digging them in.
They were stuck quite deep into the beast, and now that he was in front of it, Numba started throwing fist after fist toward the beast.
“Well, it looks like this team isn’t too bad after all. It’s time we finish this!” Apollo said as he ran forward and grabbed onto the other head that Sty wasn’t attacking. He placed both his arms by its side and began to lift. It was unbelievable, but the next second, the beast was in the air.
Sty has stopped his attacks, and using his legs, Numba pushed himself out of the tail, falling to the ground. After that, Apollo fell on his back, slamming the beast to the ground. It was now on its back, wiggling with pain, and before it could roll over, Apollo was already above it, looking down at its belly. &n

He landed right on top of it with its two feet, and cracking noises could be heard as the bones in this body broke and both of its halves had bent upward as if a large weight had been thrown on the beast. It let out its last few squeals as the beast was no longer alive.
“Well, the red team has done well.” The NIRV employee said. “I didn’t expect there to be such a strong one inside. Now it’s time to see how the Blue team will fare.”
