#I am tempted for the hydra to give off scp 682 / undead vibes when they first burst free from the now cracked open doors

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 232

Once more thinkin of These Series of AU/Prompts, where the Class pulls a Tiamat. Becomes Giant Hydra Dragon. But with some inspiration from @radiance1's Blob King AUs. Specifically also the dragon ones.

Now, the nine of them are admittedly far older than they once were. Far older than most of the people outside the cage they were tricked into all those years before, exhaustion seeping into their bones as their ectoplasm was siphoned away.

Yet no matter how much the GIW drains away- if they're even called as such anymore- they never run out. If anything, at least from what they've noticed, unable to do much of anything else in this pit, this tank of green and red, they seem to be making more.

Their recollection of being separate, of having separate bodies have long since slipped away in exchange for keeping memories of their families and friends long gone now. Perhaps they're in the zone, as ghosts, but perhaps not.

Days feel like both seconds and years, words falling away as their Core hums as one. Sometimes a Blob ghost manages to find its way inside- the trap designed not to stop things from getting in, but to prevent them from leaving.

They always disappear whenever the ecto is taken away, not having enough to continue holding on to a physical form. But... the blobs don't stay gone. Their own ecto brings them back, tiny forms almost mimicking their own.

It's something to distract them, something to actually do besides growl at the figures beyond the barriers around them. The blobs don't speak, don't make more than squeaks, but it's something. Almost like dozens of toddlers floating around, becoming more and more draconic in shape with every siphon.

Do their captors realize, they wonder, how they've made them all stronger than they were even before? Do they realize what they've done, creating this loop of ever-growing power?

No, Star giggled, pink and gold scales shimmering as she bobbed her head in amusement, Paulina's darker purples following.

They don't know, Wes agreed, dark amusement echoed by both Sam and Dash, fangs flashing amidst the liquid. The trap would not be able to contain them for much longer, they all knew. They could feel it, how the siphon stuttered with every run.

It wouldn't be long now. They had waited three hundred years for the chance to escape- they could wait for a few days more.

...

Though they won't complain about an early prison break if those alarms are anything to go by.

This makes me think of something. Not anything too crazy but like.

As soon as the Hydra busts out every single blob ghost that slowly sifted to mimicking them and becoming dragons just bust out like a swarm. Whatever scientists are in there get swarmed by a few while the rest just phase through walls to get to the rest of the facility, to have their fun but they'll have to come back as soon as they feel in danger.

The Hydra? Busts down the wall. Because screw property damage and it lets them let off some steam in the pool of their three hundred year old rage.

Whoever tried to raid the GIW facility is in for a SURPRISE when they see a swarm of little dragons coming at them, even more when the Tiamat actually get there. Giant fuck off Hydra with their army of lil hatchlings.

The Hydra obviously isn't going unnoticed, but instead of the Justice League getting to them first I would like to offer another solution. Now, hear me. What if instead of the Justice League it's...

Klarion.
