#Werebat Au

[puppetmaster13u]

So I wanna work on more oneshots...

So have a paragraph or two of each & do the poll if you want lol.

Mothman- He could hold onto the small (so small!) child easily with one pair of arms, and use another for his emergency grappling hook, but that would… maybe have the same issue as flying with them would have. Did he want to risk the trouble he’d no doubt be in?  Well, he was already going to be scolded for going out… 

Werebat- “Master Bruce.”  Bruce froze mid drying his fur at Alfred’s voice, a very clipped tone to it that instantly brought back every lecture he’d ever gotten as a pup. He tried to wipe any guilt from his body language as he looked up from his chair in front of the computer, the toddler in his lap grabbing at the towel, cooing around the binkie.  An eyebrow rose, a silent request to explain himself.

Owl Harpy- He hissed at the feeling of the blade digging into his limb- it had hit right in the opening of his armor, right in the fleshy part of his wing. Dick’s eyes were wide, terrified and with dawning recognition that he couldn’t look into due to more blades whistling through the air.  Leaping away- with Dick still in his wings- his head snapped towards where the knives had come from, a flicker of gold amidst the shadows confirming what the knives already told him. Talons. 

Ghost- Can you kill what has already died, many wonder as specters leap across the roofs, flitting in the shadows of the night as though mere flickers of the light. Mere hallucinations in the smog until they brush against your body, as real as the stone beneath your feet.   Many have tried, echoes of blood spilling across the cracked stone and forms writhing through shadows. Yet when one looked, there was no corpse to be found. For the ghosts of the city had no bodies to lose anymore.

vampire au-

[steddilly]

I could be writing half a dozen other things right now and instead I'm writing an au for an au where Steve and Eddie are werebats and they're still somehow flirting with each other. What happened to the mermay fic I wanted to write? It's currently drowning in my WIP docs.

[daisybell-on-a-carousel]

Bellflower Bat Welcome Home Van Helsing AU

Tossed my bat girl Bellflower into another AU, one that really lets her mysterious bat side shine. In my side of the AU she and Howdy are dating in secret, mainly because in this AU Bellflower is a Dhampir and a Werebat, plus a bit of magic from her father’s side-Poppy’s uncle on her own father’s side.

Bellflower does drink blood, though sticks to wild animals or unsuspecting people, those are only if she is desperate or it’s the full moon and she’s in her Werebat form. In that form her thirst for blood is tripled and she is much more animalistic so watch out or your blood will be on her menu. She NEVER eats meat even as a Werebat, she is a fruit bat and vampire bat only.

She and Poppy are as close as sisters and when Bellflower isn’t sneaking away from her family to be with Howdy, she’ll be found helping Poppy with her fortune telling.

Bellflower considers Howdy her best friend, lover, and bond mate-though that last one is not yet known to her or Howdy but Eddie, Frank, Julie, and Poppy all see it and are just telling the two to just kiss and marry already, which they will when they’re ready. Howdy is uncharacteristically protective over Belle and she him, which both chalk up to how close they are as friends, not realizing it is their bond mate link that causes this.

Bellflower sees Wally as the brother she never had, but because of who she is she doesn’t let anything reveal herself to Wally, even if it means she can only visit him a few days out of the whole month. She will protect him of course, but if she has to use her powers she’ll have her hood up.

Barnaby is another close friend, though Bellflower doesn’t hang out with him as much, at least around him she can be herself, and help stitch him up if an ear or arm falls off randomly. Barnaby loves trying out his new jokes on her and loves watching her double over on herself laughing, thinking her laugh is super sweet and if Howdy doesn’t claim her then he might. Which Howdy wouldn’t allow, again linking back to him and Belle being bond mates.

Eddie is Bellflower’s second best friend. She helps him track werewolves, he helps her through the full moon by getting her a plethora of animals to drink their blood so she doesn’t have to go to the villages.

Frank and Bellflower have a solid friendship, nothing like what he and Julie have, but they do appreciate Bellflower’s company and magic knowledge she has from her late father(he was killed thinking he was a Vampire when he was just a normal fortune teller). Belle loves listening to Frank go on about their new spells, looking into the potions they make when Eddie gets attacked by Werewolves, and helping him learn more on Werebats, as well as just having relaxing conversations on just about anything.

Like Frank, Bellflower and Julie share a solid friendship with Belle bringing her things for her brews and Julie having another female friend to talk to and help Bellflower’s magical powers increase, Frank does this too but Julie adds fun twists in her teachings.

Last is Sally and Belle only has a purely neutral friendship with her. She goes to her bar only when she’s in town, and like with Wally never lets it out who she really is. She does kick out rude patrons for Sally, usually taking them out back and drinking their blood only to spit it out because of the alcohol in it, and sends them on their way. Sally is suspicious but she knows if she voices anything she’ll lose Bellflower as a friend, patron, and bouncer.

BONUS! @orphanpuppet ‘s OC Allie Sweetie Bellflower sees as a nephew, since he was adopted by Frank and Eddie, and is always up for babysitting him and helping him to fly, and to stop him from chewing the furniture as his bigger vampire fangs come in too.

And that’s what I’ve got for Bellflower’s relationship to everyone in this AU. Thank you @night-light-artz for the template and I hope I didn’t mess up anyone’s personalities in your AU with how they’d react around Bellflower.

Solar Opposites: Solar Monsters (by @avaveevo)

Ch. 13

A few minutes later, Terry made to where Chimera David is wreaking havoc on the whole town as Terry gains a determinate stare and gets out of the bus while running to Chimera Joe in determination. Then, Werehog Cooke, Mutant Frankie, Werewolf Perez, Mutant Octopus Mia, Medusa Alice, Werefox Kevin, Weredragon Randall and Werelizard Janice catches up with him.

Mutant Frankie: Terry, we made it!

Werewolf Perez: Aw man, I don’t think we made it on time look!

Chimera David then starts killing and hurting people as Terry and the rest of the monsters gasp.

Werehog Cooke: Oh shit! Now what we do now?

Terry: What we’re really gonna do! Stop that motherfucking chimera and save the town! runs off

Weredragon Randall: follows Terry with the rest of the monsters Aw man, that’s more a goal than a plan, Terry!

Terry: I know!

But as Terry and the others try to get to Chimera David, Beverly stops them.

Beverly: Stop right there, Terald!

Terry: *gasp*

Mutant Frankie: God damn it!

Werewolf Perez: Not now!

Beverly: You really though thought I’d let you get away after EVERYTHING you did to me!

Werehog Cooke: No! We didn’t do anything to you! You and your crony FBI most wanted crook deserves it what you did to us!

Werefox Kevin: Yeah! Because of you, our life sources are these monster forms now! No we need to live with this! And we’re not gonna let you take them!

Mutant Octopus Mia: So back off you bitch cunt!

Beverly: I refuse to believe this! David is not FBI’s Most Wanted! He is a scientist that is gonna help the world! And I will not let a stupid alien stand in my way!

Terry: Grrr! You…you…

Korvo: Terry!

Terry turns and gasp in tears of joy as he sees his husband and kids with Cherie, Montez, Sherbet, Pezlie, Nova, Jamie and Darcy arriving and seeing him okay.

Terry: Korvo?!

Terry sees Korvo smiling at him with tears of joy in his eyes along with the kids as Terry shed in tears of joy and runs to his beloved husband and children.

Korvo: Terry! God, I’m so happy you’re okay!

Terry: Korvy!

Yumyulack: Dad!

Terry: Yumyulack, did you just call me dad?

Yumyulack: smiling Of course I did

Jesse and Sonya: Daddy!

Pupa: Papa!

Terry: I missed you all so much! Are you okay?

Sonya: Yes of course we are! We’re happy you’re okay!

Beverly: You?!

Yumyulack: That’s right! We’re here bitch! Now go Korvo! Go into the loving arms of Terry!

Korvo nods and kisses Terry on the lips. Terry and Korvo shed tears of joy while kissing as the camera orbits around them.

Jesse and Sonya: Aaaww.

Yumyulack just covers his eyes in disgust.

Beverly: It doesn’t matter you stupid sci-fi bitches! I have finally gotten what I wanted!

Korvo: smirking You do?

Terry grows confused by this.

Terry: Korvo, what are you-

Korvo winks his eyes at Terry, which helps tell Terry that Korvo and the others secretly have a plan!

Darcy: You really did? You really won?!

Jesse: What do you mean?!

Cherie: smirking Do tell Beverly…

Sherbet and Nova nods at each other, and then Sherbet got out her phone and presses a strange button. Then suddenly, the whole screen in town started broadcasting a live video stream throughout town of Beverly and the Solars. Jesse even chuckles quietly with Sonya and Yumyulack quietly.

Beverly: Huh?! Nevermind! It’s too late. Nobody is ever gonna believe you

Montez: Oh? About what?!

Beverly: What? That I was really the one who send those hellhounds after your two friends? That I was the one who told David about the mug who thug Terald at the beach? That I framed the stupid Principal just to get all of you off my tracks? Ha! Lucky!

The crowd gasp in shock, and so does Dr. Schroeder. Beverly realizes she was being live streamed as she looks up at the screens.

Beverly: Huh?!

Yumyulack: Not so smart now, are you, Beverly?

Beverly: angrily looks at Korvo You! What did you do?!

Korvo: Let’s just say there is a thing called Engineered Public Confessions for a psycho, like you!

Yumyulack, Jesse and Sonya: Ha!

Beverly: That’s it! I have had enough! If you all are gonna make me and a wonderful scientist look like fools, then I am not gonna take it any longer. And that is why you must give your beast within Terald!

Terry: Wh-what?

Korvo: Leave him alone, bitch!

Beverly: No! It was Terald’s fault this whole thing started! If he hasn’t let us kill him, none of this would’ve ever happen. He’s a monster and always will be a monster and nobody love that! So, Terald, you just make the right decision here…

Terry: I don’t need to. I’m keeping it.

Terry gasp, but then he looks at Korvo who is shows him a genuine smile, knowing his beloved husband will make the right choice. Then, Terry looks down at the reflection of his wedding ring and smile as his eyes starts glowing orange as he made his own choice. The right one for his family as he shed a single tear of joy as it falls down. Terry then grasp his fists as he began to transform with bravery in his glowing orange eyes shown.

Beverly: Wait? What the fuck did you say?

Terry growls as he starts transforming as he grows bigger and muscular as his clothes and shoes tore apart and his skin turns black.

Terry: I said… I’M KEEPING IT!

Terry transforms into Mundane Terry and roars. Korvo then sheds tears of joy as he smiles and couldn’t be any more proud of his husband.

Jesse: Yeah! That’s my daddy!

Yumyulack: Alright, Korv!

Korvo: On it! transforms into his Super Shlorpian form and roars as he rips apart his robe Much better!

Mundane Terry: Looking sexy as always, Korvy.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Yeah. I feel sexy too. Is that a good thing?

Mundane Terry: Of course it’s a good thing Korvy

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Thanks, my darling!

Super Shlorpian Korvo and Mundane Terry then kiss.

Beverly: ENOUGH OF THIS!

Suddenly, some roaring was heard offscreen as the others turn, it turns out to be from Cherie, Montez, Darcy, Jaime, Nova and Sherbet have transformed into their monster forms.

Hellhound Darcy: What do you think guys?

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Pretty sweet guys! Now, let’s go-

Suddenly, Yumyulack starts to have a panic attack as he starts transforming as he turns black, his head grows horns, his eyes and inside of his mouth starts glowing purple, he grows bigger and muscular as it rips entire clothes and boots into pieces and his purple bat wings pop out of his back. Super Shlorpian Yumyulack then roars before panting and crying.

Mundane Terry: Oh no. Yumyulack…

Super Shlorpian Korvo sees Super Shlorpian Yumyulack crying and flies up to him and tends to him by hugging and soothing his son.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: It’s okay. Ssh. Ssh. I know it hurts.

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: D-dad…I’m so scared… what happened to me…?

Super Shlorpian Korvo: You’re alright. It’s just painful. It’s not really that bad-

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: BUT IT IS! What if I lose control again?

Super Shlorpian Korvo holds Yumyulack close.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Oh Yumyulack, you are not gonna do it again. Because, I know that this brave little Replicant, that is my special little guy, have enough willpower and courage to that… because he is still here on the inside.. and he is my son…

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Dad…I…

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Shh… I know honey… I know… but I know you got this… come on son… breath and let go… for me…

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack breathes in and out but doesn’t change back.

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Okay. Let’s do this!

Sonya: Hey, wait!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Yes dear!

Sonya turns into her werekraken form and giggles.

Jesse: Alright! That’s my sister!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Oh my god. She looks so fucking precious.

Mundane Terry: That’s our girl! Alright guys, let’s end this nightmare once and for all!

All except Jesse: Right!

Cue epic battle scene with Warriors by Imagine Dragons playing in the background:

Jesse: Okay guys, I’m gonna hide myself behind the trash bin so I won’t get hurt!

AISHA: appearing from out of nowhere Good idea. I’ll hide with you!

Jesse: Glad to see you too AISHA!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: AISHA?! How did you get here?

AISHA: Hey! You guys are my family! I always go and track wherever you guys go! Because, I love you guys! Now go kick that monster’s ass!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Thanks AISHA! flies up

Then, Super Shlorpian fires his ice breath to David, who falls to the ground. Chimera David gets back up, but then Werefox Kevin and Weredragon Randall pummels, only for them to get thrown off, but luckily Werewolf Perez bites him Then, Mutant Octopus Mia grabs Chimera David with her hands and throws him a building. Then, Werehog Cooke pound shim to the ground while Mutant Frankie gets finally manage to weaken Chimera David with her Wolverine claws.

Werehog Cooke: That’s my girl!

Mutant Frankie and Werehog Cooke then kiss. While Mutant Vampire Jaime and Hellhound Darcy fights off Beverly, Jesse wonders what she can to help as she looks down in worriedly. But, then her Mundane visions starts act up and she starts breathing in and out. Mundane Terry notices Jesse.

Mundane Terry: *gasp* J-Jesse?

As Jesse kneels down and the floor, AISHA began to grow concern. Jesse starts crying.

AISHA: What’s wrong baby girl? Are you okay?

Jesse: NO! IT FUCKING HURTS!

Then Chimera David sees Jesse and tries to fire his breath at her, only for Super Shlorpian Yumyulack and Were-Kraken Sonya gasp and gets in front of Jesse to protect their beloved sister!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Sis!

Werekraken Sonya: Are you okay?!

Jesse: breathing in and out and starts crying

Seeing how scared their sister is, Super Shlorpian Yumyulack and Were-Kraken Sonya growls at Chimera David while gaining courage.

Were-Kraken Sonya: Yumyulack, fly up behind him!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: You got it! Nobody messes with my sister!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack uses his fireice breath that knocks Chinera David down while Were-Kraken Sonya uses her laser eyes that blast Chimera David to a hill.

Chimera David: You little—

Suddenly, lava came through a crawl as it lifts Chimera David up to the sky and he falls on the ground again. Mundane Terry and Super Shlorpian Korvo then see what their kids did and grows proud of them as they head over to them.

Mundane Terry: Sonya, I am so proud of you!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: And I am so proud of you too Yumyulack!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Thanks dad.

Were-Kraken Sonya: Thanks daddies, but where did the lava came from?

Mundane Terry shlyly smiles and shows the his glowing hands, which revealed where the lava came from.

Were-Kraken Sonya: Terry? How did you do that?

Mundane Terry: I don't know. It's just part of this form I guess. chuckles

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Well, I think it’s really amazing.

Mundane Terry: Aw, come here you big stud.

Super Shlorpian Korvo and Mundane Terry kiss, only to see Chimera David recovering on that hill.

Mundane Terry: Oh shit! Korvy, quick! Fly me up!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Got it!

Super Shlorpian Korvo grabs Mundane Terry and the two fly up while Mundane Terry calls out to the others.

Mundane Terry: Guys! David's not dead!

Werehog Cooke: Oh shit! Come on guys!

The monsters go to confront Chimera David. Back with Jesse, she continues crying and breathing in pain as her vision starts to flicker in midnight pink while AISHA comforts her.

AISHA: Okay okay. Just calm down Jesse.

Jesse continues breathing and out, until she sees Beverly and hid. As Jesse looks closely, she sees Beverly holding a dagger behind her back as Jesse gasp. Jesse covers her mouth to avoid making noise. As Beverly heads towards the hill, Jesse despite breathing in and out because her visions flicker into midnight pink, develops determination and runs off while following Beverly to save her family. Jesse eventually finds her family, but then hides behind a rock while the Solar Monsters prepare to finish off Chimera David until Beverly interrupts.

Beverly: Stop right there Opposites!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Leave us alone!

Goliath Cherie: Yeah! You have done enough harm in our lives!

Beverly laughs like a maniac, scaring everyone.

Beverly: Oh silly fools. It’s too late David has everything now. And, it’s all thanks to me…

Sweets Demon Sherbet: That’s because you are becoming the same person he is. The kind who wants to harm innocent civilians!

Goliath Cherie: For power!

Mundane Terry: And I will defeat you!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: No, Terry! We need to-

Mundane Terry starts growling as he began to go up to Beverly bravely, but this time more peaceful

Mundane Terry: I'm not scared of you anymore. You hear me? I will fucking destroy you.

Beverly: What?

Mundane Terry: Please! Think about what you’re doing! It is turning you into a real monster! Because, you got manipulated by a criminal that is most wanted and dangerous.

Beverly slaps Mundane Terry in the face.

Beverly: Don't you dare try to redeem me! I've made my choice!

Super Shlorpian Korvo then gasp and punch’s Beverly to the ground.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: NOBODY FUCKING HURTS MY HUSBAND YOU BITCH!

Beverly: pulling out the daggar I don’t care what you monsters say! That old man is gonna help people! And if that means destroying Korey’s life so be-

Suddenly a slash and a scream of teenage girl is heard as the Solar Monsters gasp in horror where it came from.

Mundane Terry: JESSE!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Oh my God! Sweetheart!

Beverly: You?! Grrr!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack and Were-Kraken Sonya: SIS!

Mundane Terry, Super Shlorpian Korvo, Super Shlorpian Yumyulack, Were-Kraken Sonya and Pupa huddle around Jesse in concern as she continues to cry out in pain as her midnight pink vision flickers.

Jesse: Terry...it hurts...

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Oh God…

Were-Kraken Sonya: tearfully; voice breaking Jesse!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: We're here, Jesse! Let us help!

Jesse starts crying as she puts her arms around leg. Then, as Mundane Terry looks worriedly at his daughter, his vision then keeps flickering back to what happened 13 years ago back on Shlorp as it shows baby Jesse crying with another monster’s shadow, until it was revealed the monster that defended baby Jesse was none other than… Mundane Terry 13 years ago.

Mundane Terry: Jesse...

As Mundane Terry watches himself killing the monster, he then sees himself calming down after seeing Baby Jesse continue to cry. Then, Mundane Terry then sees doing a concern whimper as he heads over to baby Jesse as he slowly turns back to normal and comforts and sooth her. Then, Mundane Terry heard his past self say…

Past Terry: Oh no no. Don’t cry. Terry’s here. You’re okay. Shh.

Mundane Terry: Fuck...

Mundane Terry watches as he sees his past self soothing baby Jesse, who calms down and smiles at her father. Then, Mundane Terry shed tears as he watches his past self admiring baby Jesse’s strength. Mundane Terry looks down at his hands as a teardrop falls. He now knows the truth about his past. Suddenly, he heard and a sound and then sees something that shocked him for the first time.

Past Terry: Oof. Oh sorry. Didn’t see you there.

Past Korvo: It’s alright. walks away

Mundane Terry: gasp Korvo?

He watches as his past self develops an attraction to past Korvo, then as he looks closely, Past Korvo sees Past Terry walking to his apartment as Past Korvo blushes shyly and lovingly at Past Terry. Then, Past Korvo walks away while soothing baby Yumyulack, who is sleeping and cooing while smiling.

Mundane Terry: Oh...oh my god...

Mundane Terry then watches as Past Korvo leaves and smiles as tears of joy burst in his eyes.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Terry?

The static then takes back to the present as Mundane Terry looks at Super Shlorpian Korvo and embraces him in a big damn monster kiss. Super Shlorpian Korvo is shock at first, but melts into the kiss.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Mmm. What's gotten into you?

Mundane Terry: Korvo… I now know the truth…

Super Shlorpian Korvo: You do…?

Mundane Terry: I finally know… how I record this form…

Were-Kraken Sonya: How daddy?

Mundane Terry: I was being ridiculed too much, that I felt like I didn’t deserve to live but… I snapped and there was a monster and that is when my Mundane was finally unleashed because Jesse was is in danger, when she was still a baby and I had to protect her and…

Super Shlorpian Korvo puts a finger on Mundane Terry to silence him. Then, Mundane Terry look down at his left hand palm and then finally realized the real reason of why Mundane attack.

Mundane Terry: Because, my ancestors… were trying too hard, to protect their families… while forgetting… they’ve already been good enough to the ones they love…

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Oh, Terry...

Mundane Terry then looks at Super Shlorpian Korvo as he smiles at him. They then touch foreheads.

Mundane Terry: And that lead to me… seeing you for the first time my life…

Super Shlorpian Korvo cries as tears fall down his eyes.

Mundane Terry: After the attack, I ended up encountering the most beautiful shimmering blue Shlorpian I ever saw who is really kind, nurturing, smart and very protective of his sproutling while carrying a basket of darble fruit walking down the village.

Super Shlorpian Korvo starts crying and Mundane Terry becomes concerned.

Mundane Terry: Are you okay honey?

Super Shlorpian Korvo happily tackles Mundane Terry to the ground.

Mundane Terry: Whoa! What was that for?

Super Shlorpian Korvo laughs with tears in his eyes.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Oh honey. I love you too.

Mundane Terry cries with happiness and the two make out. Super Shlorpian Yumyulack and Were-Kraken Sonya then covers the Pupa’s eyes in disgust.

Werelizard Janice: H’no you guys done now? punches Chimera David

Jesse continues crying as Mundane Terry then put his giant muscular arms around Jesse and comforts her.

Mundane Terry: Sssh. Sssh. It's okay.

Jesse then hiccups tearfully as Mundane Terry soothes her head softly and give sit a kiss on the forehead. Jesse then feels a strong pain in her head. But then, Mundane Terry didn’t even notice it because he notice Beverly coming out to them, but luckily Mundane Terry Bradbury her violently as she falls down and the daggar shatters. Mundane Terry then gets into a brave stance as he tries to defend Jesse.

Mundane Terry: That's enough, Beverly. YOU LEAVE MY BABYGIRL ALONE, YOU FUCKING CUNTBRICK!

Jesse: Terry...

Super Shlorpian Korvo: I got your back Terry!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Me too!

Were-Kraken Sonya: I’m with you guys!

The four Solar Monsters get into a fighting stance with their friends joining.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: It’s over Bev! Call off this whole Chimera madness!

Beverly: Oh am I?

Suddenly, Jesse starts to feel her muscle tightens as her eyes and inside of her mouth glows midnight pink as she starts to feel pain and screams out to the sky as the sun finally sets.

Mundane Terry: Shit! JESSE!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Sweetheart?

Were-Kraken Sonya: Big sister?

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Sis?

Suddenly, Jesse starts growing bigger and muscular as her dress and shoes starts to rip apart and she suddenly grows boobs while her skin turns black.

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: blushing Holy shit...

Jesse: T-Terry… voice gets deeper and distorted It hurts…

Jesse then roars as her dress and shoes then rips into pieces as the pieces fall down and her lucky red bow falls off as she pounds her fists to the ground that helps her stand. Now a Mundane, Jesse roars as loudly as Godzilla as tears burst from her eyes, which made Mundane Terry gasp and faint.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Darling!

Mundane Terry then groans and gasp upon seeing his daughter now a Mundane as she pants. Mundane Jesse snaps back to reality and feels her body.

Mundane Jesse: gasp I have BOOBS?!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Let me touch them! touches the boobs

Mundane Jesse: Kyaa! Get of my boobs! slaps Super Shlorpian Yumyulack

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Sorry didn’t know what came over me.

Were-Kraken Sonya: Ya think?

Suddenly, Chimera David was about to pummel Were-Kraken Sonya until Mundane Jesse saw him and her whole vision goes distorted as something made her snap.

Mundane Jesse: GET AWAY FROM HER!

Mundane Jesse then gives into her Mundane instincts and roar as she pummels Chimera David down to the city. Then, as the Solar Monsters watch, Mundane Terry realizes something is wrong Mundane Jesse roars and slashes Chimera David on the stomach with her hand as it bleeds out.

Chimera David: You mother-

Mundan Jesse roars as she throws David to the window and violently throws him to the ground, as she has now lost her sanity and her mind, much to Mundane Terry’s horror. Mundane Jesse then pants before crying.

Mundane Terry: Oh no Jesse is losing it!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: We have to help before-

Mundane Jesse then goes savage again and throws Chimera David to a building.

Goliath Cherie: HOLY SHIT!

Were-Kraken Sonya: Hang on sis!

Suddenly, Mundane Terry stops them as he knows what to do.

Mundane Terry: Jesse...

Mundane Terry then heads down there, much to the others’s shock.

Werehog Cooke: Uh, what the hell are you doing?!

Mundane Terry: Talking to my daughter…

All: What? Huh? Really? I don’t know…Terry…

Mundane Terry: Don't worry. I'll be okay. She'll listen to me.

Sweets Demon Sherbet: You sure this will work?

Mundane Terry: Yes...

As Mundane Terry walks over to bravely Mundane Jesse, Super Shlorpian Korvo kisses him on the cheek.

Mundane Terry: Huh?

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Go save our little girl, you brave son of a bitch!

Mundane Terry: Oh, Korvy...

Mundane Terry and Super Shlorpian Korvo then kiss. Then, it cuts to back to Mundane Jesse throws Chimera David to the wall as she bodyslams him and roars.

Mundane Terry: JESSE, STOP!

Mundane Jesse then punches the Chimera David to the ground, that created a giant hol on the ground while Chimera David laying there. Mundane Jesse breaths in and out as she looks up at Mundane Terry and snarls at him savagely.

Mundane Terry: Jesse?

Mundane Jesse roars and walks on her legs and hands as she heads towards Mundane Terry like a wild animal. Mundane Jesse then stops when she realizes she's gonna hurt Terry.

Mundane Terry: Jesse, it’s me! Your dad! Please hang on! It’s okay! I’m here now! Everything is gonna be okay…

Mundane Jesse gasps.

Mundane Terry: It’s okay…

Mundane Jesse gets her sanity back and starts sobbing. Mundane Jesse then collapse on the floor while crying in her arms as tears fall down like a waterfall. Mundane Terry walks up to comfort her. Mundane Terry then lies down his daughter, put his arms around and comforts and soothes Mundane Jesse.

Mundane Terry: Oh Jesse…. Shh

Mundane Jesse: I'm sorry...

Mundane Jesse continues crying as Mundane Terry continues to comfort her.

Mundane Jesse: Daddy… what happened to me? Did it really happened for the first time?

Mundane Terry: It did but-

Mundane Jesse then starts breathing in and out as she kept weeping because she is scared.

Mundane Terry: Hey, it's not bad.

Mundane Jesse: But it is!

Mundane Terry: Oh baby…

Mundane Jesse: crying I lost my mind… and I-I went wild like an animal and, and… almost lost my memory of you guys… I’m a monster…

Mundane Terry: Shh.

Mundane Jesse continues to cry as Mundane Terry holds her close and continues to soothe her just like he did when Jesse was a baby.

Mundane Terry: Oh Jesse, you are not monster.

Mundane Jesse: Why do you think that?

Mundane Terry: Because, remember what I aid last night? How are you are always the sweet girl I know?

Mundane Jesse: Because you were there to help me.

Mundane Terry: No, because you were already brave to me. You always have been, ever since you were a baby. Because, like I said, it was because of your kindness and humility towards others. That makes you Jesse, on the inside.

Mundane Jesse sniffles but smiles.

Mundane Jesse: Thanks dad…

The two hug but then Chimera David rises. Luckily, Super Shlorpian Yumyulack shoots him down with his fireice breath.

Mundane Jesse: Yumyulack!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Jesse! You’re okay!

Mundane Jesse: Yeah.

Then, Super Shlorpian Korvo and Were-Kraken Sonya arrives. Super Shlorpian Korvo picks up Mundane Terry and spins him around. The two husbands then kiss while Were-Kraken Sonya meets up her adoptive alien sister and hugs her.

Were-Kraken Sonya: I'm so happy you're okay, sis!

Mundane Jesse: Me too! Come here, you two! hugs her siblings

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack grabs Mundane Jesse's boob.

Mundane Jesse: Don’t even think about.

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack laughs nervously as he backs away, only to see Chimera David getting back up, so the family quickly hid behind a rock to come up with a plan.

Mundane Terry: I got it! We need to combine our powers!

Were-Kraken Sonya: Really?

Mundane Jesse: Wait? I have powers?

Mundane Jesse waves her hand and... her hand starts glowing pink.

Mundane Jesse: Hey! Cool!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: It’s our only shot! Terry might be onto something!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: No way! It's too dangerous! There has to be another way, right?!

Mundane Terry: I wish there was but...

Super Shlorpian Korvo puts his hands on Mundane Terry’s shoulder, then he smiles.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: We got this.

Mundane Terry, and the five monsters head over to confront David, one more time while their friends arrive and watched. Mundane Terry takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: You got this Terry!

Chimera David: You really think you can defeat me?!

Mundane Terry raises his hand, causing lava to appear. Mundane Terry then roars, which made Super Shlorpian Korvo and the monster kids smile as they get ready to use theirs. First, Super Shlorpian Korvo uses his ice breath. Next, Super Shlorpian Yumyulack uses his fireicebreath. Then, Mundane Jesse makes pink magic, which made fizzling lava rocks fizz towards David. And finally, Were-Kraken Sonya uses her laser eyes. Their eyes then start glowing. The blast combine ends overpowering Chimera David as he starts to disintegrate into ash as he feels his whole life source burning up with him.

Chimera David: NNNNNOOOOOOO!

As the whole screen goes white, it fades to what remains of Davis, a pile of ash that whisk away. Then, the fog clears where it shows Mundane Terry, Super Shlorpian Korvo, Super Shlorpian Yumyulack, Mundane Jesse and Were-Kraken Sonya emerging form the fog in triumph while their friends cheer. Mundane Terry then passes out and falls to the ground. Super Shlorpian Korvo then comes over to him and smiles once Mundane Terry awakens slowly.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: You did great, darling.

But then, Mundane Terry feels something that he wants to let it out, as he starts snarling and kneeling to the ground like a beast, while the others figure out what is happening and backs away

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Come honey, let it out!

Super Shlorpian Yumyulack: Heads up guys! It’s Terry’s crown making moment!

Mundane Jesse: Come on Terry!

Were-Kraken Sonya: Go Terry!

Mundane Terry then roars loudly as his eyes glow orange as he makes his crown making moment. He then starts breathing and out.

Mundane Terry: Woah.

Mundane Terry then shed tears as Super Shlorpian Korvo flies to him and lands near him as he soothe his face. Mundane Terry starts whimpering again, because he is scared of losing himself again, only Super Shlorpian Korvo consoles him by soothing his face.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Shhh. It’s okay. You’re okay… I’m here…

Mundane Terry purrs. Then, the two monster alien husbands kiss, while everyone cheers. Then, the police are about to arrive, so luckily, the Solar Monsters retreat successfully into a hidings place where they can transform back. Beverly then awaken from her concussion and then two police guards caught her.

Police Officer: We've come to arrest you

Beverly: What?

Police Officer 2: We saw the livestream so...yeah.

FBI Agent: Beverly of GeenaDavisVille Labratories, you’re under arrest for frame up, the monster attacks, assisting one of FBI Most Wanted criminals and for the attempt murder of Terry and Korey Opposites!

Beverly: Damn it! No! You don't understand! They're monsters! I-

Human Terry: Be quiet, Beverly.

Beverly then turn and see the Solar Opposites, in their human forms and their friends back to normal as they approach FBI Most Wanted.

Human Korvo: Is there a problem sir?

Police Officer: We were just about to arrest this woman, Korey.

Human Jesse: Oh really?

Principal Cooke: shrugs What for?

Police Officer: For attempted murder and framing.

Miss Frankie: Oh thank goodness

Nova: Thank you for letting us know officer. I had no idea what came over Beverly

Cherie: Me too.

Beverly: You sons of bitches! When I escape, I'll-

Human Terry: Be quiet, Bev. I already know your little secret. I know it because I was with you with that godawful trigger test. I also know that my husband, my kids and my friends will always love me. And there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing! It’s over’ You've lost any and all power over us. You're the real monster, Beverly. A real fucked up monster. Enjoy jailtime.

As soon as the Solars leave, Beverly looked on without a word and a sound as she gets taken away into custody. As the FBI and police drives away with Beverly, the human Solars and their friends watch. Then, Human Terry and Human Korvo look at each other lovingly as they touch heads.

Human Terry: Korvo… I love you so much… I am so sorry if I was really keeping my real self hidden away… but I know you will always love me.. and I will always love you too… and I’m not hiding the other part of me anymore… because it’s part of my life… but not just that… so are you and the kids… because I love you Korvy…

Human Korvo: shedding tears of joy I love you too Terry…

And with that, Human Terry and Human Korvo embrace in a passionate romantic orbital kiss while shedding tears of joy. Then, the kids came up and hug their dads. Especially with Human Pupa who is brought by Human AISHA who joins in on the hug while their friends watch as they smile.

The Night. (Cyris's Backstory) DnD character background short story.

This is Cyris's backstory up until his friends, (my dnd buddy's characters) find him. Enjoy!

WARNING: i have to written in a while so i might be rusty.

The Night.

Summary: This is the origin story of Cyris Hesti Rayford. My Werebat Human, Folk Hero, Blood hunter/Ranger/Cleric/Barbarian.

Part 1: the abandoned child.

As Hanna Rayford got ready to go foraging out she headed into the kitchen to grab a light breakfast, while grabbing an apple and a few biscuits she saw her husband, Tom, baking the most perfect strawberry pie he had ever made.

“Tommy who’s that for?” she hummed curiously, “it’s an offering to Yondalla dear, perhaps this year she’ll bless us with a few little ones of our own” he beamed.

Hanna smiled and kissed her husband goodbye as she set out to the mushroom patch.

The autumn morning was dewy and foggy, the market in SanguineWood shire was bustling with activity and noise.

“Oh it’s dreadful” Hanna heard one of her neighbors lament “My farm was raided last night by goblins”, “what are we to do? We can’t fend them off forever”, “we will call upon Arvoreen and the Great Guardian Bat spirit of the forest to help protect us” one of the clerics of the temple to the nature spirit said.

Hanna passed other cheerful halflings as she made her way into the woods that surrounded the village. 

The sanguinewoods was a reasonably small forest, only about 70 acres, but the trees were MASSIVE. Huge trees that grew as tall as stone giants and had bark and wood that were a deep sanguine-red in color, hence the name.

The sunlight dappled through the branches casting the forest in a shady twilight, above her Hanna saw great Direbats flying gracefully through the treetops. “That reminds me, I should stop by the temple and leave a few offerings to the Great Guardian Bat”. 

Hanna arrived at a mossy glen filled with morel mushrooms, she slipped off her knapsack and began to harvest the biggest shrooms she could find when she heard it. A wail, not the wail of the wind or the lamenting wail of mourning but the wail of an infant. Hanna got up and looked around for the source of the wail “why would a baby be out here?” she thought.

On a patch of moss, resting in a beam of sunlight was a human baby, there was no basket for him to lay in and he wasn’t even wrapped in a blanket. He was naked, cold, dirty and crying. Hanna took off her shawl and bound him up in it “oh you poor dear, how could anyone leave you out here?” she shrieked.

How was a human baby here in sanguinewood? The nearest human settlement was 30 miles away past rocky mountain passes and there was nothing here to indicate how the baby even got here, no caravan tracks, no hoof prints, there’s not even a magical rune circle.

Hanna looked around and noticed something lying in the dirt beside where the baby had been, she picked it up and saw that it was a brooch with the emblem of Yondalla on it, the bright green shield with a bountiful cornucopia painted on it was unmistakable.

Hanna thought back to her husband’s offering…but why would the baby be human? Hanna shook her head and grabbed her knapsack and headed back home, she cared not if he was a human baby Yondalla had finally blessed her and Tom with a child and that was all that mattered.

On her way back into town her neighbors eyed her and gawked excitedly at what she had found “congratulations Hanna” one of them smiled at her and gifted her with a large bottle of milk “here, it’s fresh, for you and your new little one”. All of her neighbors gave her little things for her and the baby, by the time she got home she had several gifts and a basket of treats.

“Goodness Hanna where’d you get all that-” Tom started but stopped when he saw the baby in her arms “where? How?...” he smiled then hugged his wife “I guess the pie worked!” he chuckled.

“What are we gonna name him?” Tom pondered to Hanna as he held the babbling infant, “we should name him after your grandfather Cyris” Hanna grinned “he has such a lovely name”.     

They sent out letters to their family members and set up a party to celebrate adopting Cyris into their family, eventually it turned into the whole town being invited.

As the dawn shifted into the dark hours of dusk Hanna saw a change in Cyris, he began to grow more shy and less sociable…and then he began to physically change.

He grew larger, his ears grew longer, his hands grew into bat-like wings. His body became covered in thick brown and black fur, he grew fangs and his face became like that of a vampire bat. He had transformed into some sort of man-bat, “OH MY!” shrieked her sister Ruthy who was holding him.

The village stared in shock at him as he chittered and squeaked, Hanna was utterly flabbergasted at what had transpired “my baby has turned into a bat!”

“Hanna” Colm the cleric of Guardian Bat approached her with a big grin “Hanna do you not see what this is? This is a blessing!” he beamed proudly “your son has been blessed by the Guardian Bat to protect our village”, “you think so Colm?” Hanna pondered, “what else would this mean?” he grinned “our prayers have been answered, are you gonna deny the savior in front of your eyes?”

The celebration resumed, the village now had a protector, he was going to need a lot of training in the future.

Part 2: How it all came crashing down.

Cyris grew up knowing 3 things, 1 be kind to your neighbors and they will more than likely be kind to you back, 2 treat nature and the world with respect, lastly he should always do what is right and fear no man, beast or even monster to do it.

Cyris upheld these three beliefs as he grew from a boisterous boy with scabby knees and muddy feet to a bold young teen with a scruffy bearded face and long wild hair.

Cyris wore the brooch of Yondalla his mother had found, he swore to follow her teachings and protect his village.

By day he whent around helping whenever and wherever he could, if a boat capsized in the river he’d rescue the passengers, if a farmers field needed help tilling he’d grab a hoe help plow the land and if an elderly halfling woman just needed someone to talk to for a while he’d stay for a bit of tea with them. 

But by night Cyris would shift into his bat form and fly through the forest around the borders and boundaries of the shire making sure that they were secure and safe. He also would take this time to hunt in the woodlands, you see he not only looked like a vampire bat but he had the same diet as one, Cyris carved blood.

As long as he could remember he had been drinking it and his village didn’t seem to mind his taste for it, the local butcher would even bottle the stuff up for him so he could stop by whenever he wanted to grab a quick drink. 

The clerics of Great Guardian Bat said that because he was blessed to take the war form of the bat spirit he also took on it’s craving for blood, so he had to feed, his village had plenty of livestock and there was ample supply of fresh game in the woods so Cyris never feared going blood-hungry.

But…it still kind of weirded him out, he didn’t like to feed on live animals, he hated to kill anything, he always preferred to drink from the blood bottles or eat it in food like soup, baked in bread or cooked in sausages.

As Cyris flew through the treetops, the wind rushing beneath his wings he saw a campfire in the distance. In his bat form everything in his sight was colored differently, like an aura. Everything else like stone, trees and dirt seemed like dark blacks and blues but living things, like birds and people and fire looked like rainbows of pinks and yellows and reds.

Cyris clung to a tree and spotted a group of people dressed in odd fashion. There was an Elven Ranger, a Dwarven Fighter, a human monk, a Human wizard and a Half-Elven cleric, “a party of adventures! How exciting!” Cyris thought.

“WE ARE LOST!” the fighter grumbled to the ranger, “well if you hadn't lost the map”, “will you two stop, I will ask Lethander to guide us” the cleric huffed.

Cyris cocked his head curiously “who’s Lethander?, oh well if they are lost I should go help them, I’am sure they can get another map in town”.

Cyris flew down to introduce himself but as soon as he did… “WEREBAT QUICK KILL IT!” the cleric screamed, they readied their weapons and descended upon him. 

The fighter cleaved his greatsword at him but Cyris swiftly dogged it, the monk managed to high-kick Cyris in his back causing him to fall to the ground, the ranger cast some sort of spell on him, the wizard blasted him with fire and the cleric wacked him with a holy club that nearly crushed his wing.

Cyris screamed and took to the skies, he flew home as fast as he could, “wh-why did they attack me?” he sobbed as he cash landed on his front porch.

His mother bandaged him up and took him to the clerics for healing, the next morning Cyris Found that the party of adventurers had tracked him to his village.

“You misunderstand, Cyris is blessed by the Great Guardian Bat to protect our village, he has never harmed us” the mayor tried to tell them, “no you misunderstand” the wizard herumfed “he is a werebat, a dangerous sanguinethrope”.

“You are misguided” said the Lethander cleric “obviously this bat spirit is one of darkness and wickedness, I will purge it from your land and free you from it’s corruption!”, the mayor stared at him bewildered “...what?..”

Cyris’s blood boiled as he watched the light-cleric began to try and forcefully convert the town not only to the party’s side but also to his religion “try looking in the temple to their evil bat god, burn it down if you must!” he snapped at the ranger and fighter.

“I need to stop them…but I need a sword” Cyris thought “there’s an old lady in the woods who has magic potions and items, if I can sneak away I can bargain with her for something”.

Cyris’s brothers: Eddie, Anthony, Leo and Julius caused a distraction while his sisters: Jezebel and Jessica snuck him out in their father’s bag of holding. He fled into the woods where he met with the strange woman who sold stranger magical items: Whimbly Fableton.

“Hello there youngling, care to see my wears? I have trinkets if you have coin” she croned, “I need a sword” Cyris huffed, winded from his run in the woods.

Whimbly eyed him “oh what kind of blade ye be needing youngling?”, “a nice strong, sharp sword” Cyris said as he looked at the blades she had displayed. Whimbly took out a beautiful longsword “5,000 gold, cheapest I can go youngling” she hummed. Cyris paled, he only had 70 gold on him “how about a deal”, as soon as those words left his mouth the woman’s eyes lit up, “I’ll work off the gold if you give me the sword, I’ll pay you back little by little, I got 70 right now…how about it?”

Whimbly grinned…unpleasantly wide at this “oh sure dear, you can work it off for me, do a little job for me for a little while for the sword” she hummed “deal…”.

They shook on it.

Cyris returned to his village to see it up in flames, people being rounded up and tortured for questions and the light-cleric going mad with power.

His own part seemed to be getting worried about him, “Kennis you're hurting these people…isn’t this against your tents?” the wizard gawked at the hypocrisy of his friend, “these heathens need to see the light, either they will go to it willingly or I WILL DRAG THEM TO IT” he snarled, “afterall they associated themselves with a werecreature, they are probably already lost” the ranger and monk droned with him.

“But they have done nothing to us, nothing to hurt us or anyone” the wizard snapped, “I agree with the wizard, you're a hypocrite and are hurting these people so you can push your beliefs onto them like you tried to in the last town we were in!” the fighter hissed.    

Cyris watched as they began to fight each other, he saw his opening and sided with the monk, fighter and wizard.

“Get out of here boy, this is not your fight!” hissed the light-cleric, “it is when you decided to take over my village and hunt me down”, “y-you?” the light-cleric lunged at him.

Cyris was forced to kill for the first time in his life, he did not want to but he had to, the ranger, monk and the absolutely deranged cleric would kill him and his village otherwise.

It saddened his heart to do it but it must be done…so Cyris killed the ranger, the monk and the light-cleric, the wizard and fighter were spared, they had turned to Cyris’s side.

As the village was recuperating Cyris returned to Whimbly to start work so he could pay her back for the sword.

But when he got to her caravan…

Whimbly had turned…

She was no simple woman in the woods selling knick knacks, she was a gods damned Hag. Cyris stood in frozen terror as he watched Whimbly’s form twist and snap into the  abominable shape of a nighthag. 

“Now dear..about our deal” she cooed maliciously.

The sword he held shattered, each fragment liquified into metallic shimmering ink that then tattooed itself into his skin.

On his neck and wrists were now the images of intricate glittering chains, magical binding tattoos.

“You’ll work for me dear, for every soul you took with that blade you now owe me 10 years of service” she cackled “now come along dear, time for the show to start!”

She whisked Cyris away from his shire to a city called Waterdeep, to a place deep in the slums.

It was a round building, like a coliseum, it stretched several neighborhoods and had a bright glowing sign above the entrance that read: Wild Whimbly’s Wonderland.

Inside…was a den of vice and sin. Gambling, whore houses, rigged races, everything under the midnight sun, a sinners paradise.

“A werebeast will make a wonderful new champion in the pit arena” Whimbly chuckled “you’ll also make a fine debt collector…and executioner” she sneered.

“NO” Cyris cried “I DON’T WANT THIS”, “you backing out on our deal?, then you owe me in gold, 50,000 for trying to cheat me” she hissed.

“NO, NO I…I’ll, I’ll pay you, I’ll work”, “good, you’ll fight in the pit and earn your keep with every kill” she laughed maniacally.

Part 3: Animal.

…hungry…

The cage door rattles.

…hungry…       

The lights come on.

…hungry…

The door opens, the warrior in the arena stares into the dark abyss at what lurks within.

…hungry…

Something comes rushing out with incredible speed, it takes off the warriors arm with one swift strike, the crowd roars.

…hungry…

The warrior screams as his other arm is ripped off and soon he drops to his knees, he gazes in horror at what stands before him, a titanic beast. Half man-Half Bat all rage.

…feed…

The man-beast bites down on the warrior's neck and begins to drain him dry.

Cyris awakes in his room, he wins another fight and wins another purse of gold…but it’s not enough, never enough to pay her back. How much is he up to now? 500,000? 50,000,000? 

How long has it been? 20? 21 years?

How much blood does he owe her now? How much does he have to spill to fill her cup? To satisfy her lust for carnage, to entertain her?

Does it matter at this point?

Cyris sighs, he rolls out of bed and walks over to the ice chest and pulls out another bottle of favorite bourbon, the…entertainer…he hired for the day…lotus…lotus that's his name is still asleep on his bed, passed out from their…little romp in the sheets.

Cyris slugs down a heavy chug of the bourbon, the burning taste soothed by the after notes of honey, night’s falling soon…that means it’s almost showtime again.

Cyris got up and looked out the big bay windows, into the city of Waterdeep.

The night drew near, Cyris went down to the arena and felt the changes start to overtake him, he heard the crowd creating and roaring, “showtime” he grumbled.
