((already put the gown on....))

"Uhm, no I'm not allergic to anything I know of." Sky whined a little, as if in response to the inner turmoil that Dae was facing. he looked down and tried to give him a reassuring smile, it failed and he looked even more dismal. He leaned a hand down and rubbed the back of the guys head along some bumps. Sky cooed and leaned closer to him, wrapping his tail around one of his legs.

(Sky's a male dragon, remember? At least, he was before. xP)

As Dae was getting on the gurney, another scientist came in, "All set already doctor?" he smiled, "You're sure down to buisness quick" It was Dr. Syklel. "How you doing?" he asked Dae as they started to wheel the gurney and him and Sky out of the room. Dr. Syklel had grown partial to Dae, and he knew Dr. Robbins, despite how he was trying to hide it now, had too.

Dr. Robbins looked down at Dae, awaiting his answer as well as he pushed the gurney from behind. After a few minutes, they went through a set of large double doors and they were in a fully medical-equipped lab setting. They wheeled the two to the center of the room and locked the wheels, "We're going to knock the two of you out now." he said, taking out an oxygen mask attached to a tank that contained the same gas that had knocked Dae out before, only a stronger version. He put it over Dae's mouth and nose and turned and took out one that fit the same on Sky, "Be a good boy now, Sky, you'll be done in a moment after you go to sleep." he said petting the dragon after he put it on. "Here we go, Dae." Dr. Robbins said as the team of scientists decended around them. He flipped the valve open to release the gas and asked Dae, "Count backwards from one hundred, so we know when you're asleep."

Dr. Robbins was impressed. To fight off the gas that long, Dae had to be unusually strong, "He's going to survive this." he smiled, speaking under his breath. The doctor was fairly certain of this fact, he thought, as he inserted a new IV into Dae's arm, one full or morphine. "Syklel, Carrebo, extract the DNA from the dragon and prepare it. It won't take longer than than this. EVeryone else, get to work." he commanded, setting to work on his own and getting agreements from the other doctors and scientists in the room. Some were of medical background, others purely scientific, but they were expertly assembled for this moment. This one task.
Some of the dragons blood was pumped into Dae's bloodstream, for preperation of the DNA changing and being able to power Dae's new body; some of Sky's skin cells were grafted to Dae's, and then came the final step: a syrum was injected into Dae that would bind all DNA and mutate Dae's so they were similar to Sky's. Dae was injected with one more sample of Sky's DNA, and then, it was time to wait. The whole process took a lot less time to get through than the changing would, and it was also the easiest part to preform- a few simple injections and grafts and such, and they were done in a little more than two hours. The only problem that could possibly occur was if Dae's body rejected the DNA and tried to kill it as the syrum was binding it; ergo, killing Dae.

That didn't happen.

Soon, Dae would wake up, probably as the change was occuring, and he would feel the pain. They couldn't give him too high a dose of morphine, or as the change occured, Dae's body would absorb and become addicted and need it to surive as though it was food and water. Dae would most definately feel some pain, much to Dr. Robbin's disliking, but he wouldn't get the full force of it.

When the procedure was done, most the others cleared out except Syklel and Robbins. Dr. Robbins moved a lock of Dae's hair, "I hope he doesn't suffer too much."

Dr. Syklel tried to reassure him, "You picked a strong one, he'll be fine. He will hurt, but he will be okay in the end."

"I hope so..." the doctor replied, sitting down, not far from where Dae's and Sky's unconscious bodies lay. He wanted to be close, for when Dae woke, so he could help as much as possible. He wondered as he watched him, what Dae could be dreaming about, if anything.

((I'll leave the change up to you, so I don't take all the fun. lol ))

Dae floated in a sea of darkness. He waited there looking for something, anything, he expected something to happen. It started our as a light breeze, that played through his hair and caressed his bare skin. then sparks of light...They floated down and hit his skin...they burned. First only as a little spark, but then the heat and pain increased with each sparkle of light hit him. He was locked in the darkness, the fire burning, spreading throughout his body. He screamed. he fought to escape the darkness and the fire that seemed to burn within him.

His eyes shot open at the end of his scream. He panted his heart racing. A grimace of pain etched his face, sweat forming all over. He balled his hand into fists, and fought convulsions in his body.

The first changes began to appear, his skin became deadly white, then seemed to shine and harden. Color began to seep back in patches. The sky blue that was of the baby dragon gleamed and became more vivid as the patches spread and came together.

His eyes became blood shot, and were almost completely red with blood. Screaming again he shut his eyes tears of blood poured. As the drops of blood dropped from his chin he re opened them to the change. his eyes were slitted and were an eerie bright blue. with a magenta stoke around the iris.

His body shook, but the changes were only just starting.

((thought i'd give you a chance to post before I completed... :D ))

It felt like his bones were breaking. Points at his back shoulder blades and at his tailbone seemed to be excruciating points. His feet also felt like perhaps they had fallen off and were only nubs of pain. He felt skin tear as the pressure in his back shot out. The pain kept going and he could tell he was bleeding, but if felt like something was sliding or pushing itself out at those tow points...

If he could look at it, bones were slowly sliding out at his shoulder blades and tailbone. They slowly eased themselves out, as they were being made as quickly as his body could produce them.

Even amongst all the pain it seemed to pause and at least the pain stopped growing.

His feet were becoming harder and longer, a few toes joined toegether and his nails became like claws.

The bones growing from his back had muscle attached to them and skin was growing. On the tail bone, it was becoming just that....A lizard tail. The upper back was more complex as they pushed from out from under his lying back. A web of skin and tisue formed to become wings, small at first but growing bigger.

The least noticeable of all was his hair, it grew a little longer and its color also changed to a pinkish magenta.

It seemed to be a change going all the way to full dragon...But then it started to slow done...The skin drying, the bleeding from his back slowed and the skin came together.

Dae started to breath a little easier and fell into unconsciousness once again.

((hows that for a transformation? Also Dae did use up a lot of energy, calcium, blood, etc, so the Doc might want to help out in restoring some of those levels.))

Dr. Robbins watched Dae transform with teeth and fists clenched. This was both the most exciting and the greatest horror of his life. His dream wascoming true before his eyes, but he had grow attached to Dae, and watching his pain hurt the doctor on the inside.

The change was incredible: How well Dae's body accepted and his DNA adhered to the DNA of Sky. It was such a thorough transformation, the doctor could not believe it was real. He half expected to wake up. He looked at the monitor for Dae's statistics, and it showed Dae was doing perfectly well- his body was obviously drained of energy, and his body had taken a hit, so to speak, but his organs were functioning at great levels, especially his heart, moreso than should be expected for having such a great stressor on the body.

Syklel and Robbins moved now; Syklel fetched the dragon and human blood that Dae would more than likely need with the expanded body and stronger heart. With the growth of his bones, Dae's calcium intake from before for a human, even if it was at its best, would be no where near enough, so Robbins grabbed a syringe that he could inject into Dae that would make its way straight into his bones, assuming the syringe didn't break trying to get through his skin. In preperation for this moment, one of the doctors had thought ahead enough to find a stronger metal for the needle, Dr. Robbins observed with a swell of pride in his team.

Whatever else Dae needed would need to be observed when he was awake. Until then, they had no idea what had happened to Dae's body, or his mind even, and only when he was awake could he answer those questions...

((I thought of everything but the calcium. Thanks for mentioning it! xP I couldn't think of what else he'd need, so I figured I'd save it for Dae to answer when he was awake and observable.))

Dae felt drained. So tired, and everything was achy, and yet tingly, he wasn't sure if he wanted to scratch everywhere or start twitching. He was till too tired to open his eyes, yet he didn't feel totally unconscious. He murmured and groaned softly. Was the procedure still going on, he was very confused. At least most of the pain had stopped.

Sky shook his head. The medicine on him was wearing off and he smelled the bood and sweat from Dae. He whined and tried to get over to DAe. He sniffed and whined at the boy. Blodd soaking the matt and sheets under him. The dragon was confused. It smelt like Dae, and yet like himself....

((it ok if we jump a little forward in time? I would think his body would need time to heal and adjust before he would really come to.))

Consciousness was a long time coming. It took a while for his body to recover from the shock of such a change, and still longer to heal.... For everything to truly settle it would probably still take time.

Dae cracked an eyelid open. At first all he saw was white, then things seem to focus. He could see infinite detail...the tiny cracks in the ceiling. Stains that hadn't been totally scrubbed away. That wasn't the end of it....All his senses seemed to be on overload. He heard his own breathing, his heartbeat, water running through pipes somewhere. Others within the facility. In fact he seemed to smell better than he saw and heard. Although at the moment nothing was to identifiable but the water and very small traces of blood, perhaps old traces.

He opened both eyes and turned his head back and forth, looking about the room.

"Am I still alive?" he wondered to out loud.

The Doctor wasn't far away with Sky, giving him his own bath, which he seemed to be enjoying. Just a little one, in a tub of water just big enough for the dragon to fit in and be able splash his tail about, which is probably the part he most enjoyed- like any baby, he was enjoying making the mess. He took the dragon out and placed him on a towel. This wasn't Sky's first bath, so both knew what was coming next. The doctor ducked down below the counter and said, "Okay, shake!" and the dragon shook most the water that was left off- not that that was much, considering how waterproof his scales were, but the dragon liked it just the same. He stood back up again and was wiping down the dragon's face when he heard, Dae.

Sky's ears perked up immediately. The doctor grabbed him and turned around just as quickly, carrying Sky over to Dae, "Yes, Dae, you're alive." he said, in a quieter voice than normal. He wasn't sure how sensitive Dae's hearing would be and didn't want to startle him, "How are you feeling?"

((Yeah, sounds like a good idea. Wish I thought of it. xP How do you want to do the jump though?))

((I assumed I just did....Otherwise he wouldn't be awake.....In your next post you could tell me Ive been out for X amount of days...))

"I'm not sure...Weird I think, but not bad?" He attempted to sit up, he felt a waight on his back he wasn't used to and he almost fell sideways because of it.

"Wahhh... Hey what?....Is on my back?" He tried to reach back there and his hand encountered the membrane of one of his new wings.

"What is? Wait huh?" He became more and more confused as he started looking and feeling himself over. He was...Well blue for starters, and his skin felt weird and stiff and there was something attached to his back and who knew what was under the covers....

He started to panic and jumped out of the bed....He was of course still weak, and his new feet and had a totally different balance then before so he ended up as a sprawled heap on the floor. He lay gasping and flailing a little there his eyes wide in shock.

((I figured the proceedure would knock him out a few days too, but then there'd be months of healing still needing to be done, unless you wanna say the splicing gave him oober healing abilities? ))

Dr. Robbins put Sky down on the chair that had been next to Dae's gurney-bed. "You've been unconscious for awhile, Dae. Your body is weak from not walking for awhile, and the procedure. You also seem to be a bit unbalanced from the new appendages..." he said, looking Dae over as he slowly pulled him up to his feet, "Hold onto me and try to stand still a few moments, see if you can regain your footing and find a balance."

The doctor stood there, waiting for Dae to make a move or something, waiting to see what he did, and hoping he would take his advice, for whatever it was good for. "When you can walk again, do you want to look in the mirror? You have changed quite a bit, so try not to be too alarmed. It's a bit shocking, yes, but strangely, it seems to suite you." he said, being reassuring, but honest. Dae seemed like he was perfect to be spliced with Sky- the outcome was admirable.
Not only how he looked, but it could be assumed as well as the increase in strength in his heart, other physical strengths would follow.

Dr. Robbins wasn't thinking of all that, however. At that moment, he was glad Dae had lived; just lived.

Dae clung to Dr. Robbins, just as for the emotional support as the physical. He had great difficulty in balancing. It seemed he would have to learn to walk again, just like an infant. He looked at his feet. They now appeared to be more like claws, he had scratched the floor quite thoroughly in his antics.

he took in a big breath of air, and then another trying to calm himself down.

"I don't look to weird?...It's just very strange....I don't know my body anymore...I'm all unbalanced n stuff..."

Sky chirped/ screeched happily at him and jumped of the chair and scampered toward him. Excitedly he tried to jump up at him, kinda like a dog who wanted to be held. This was like the last brick on a seesaw and while still clinging to the doctor he fell forwards.

"Wahhhh!" he crashed toward the floor once again.

((I'm planning of one of them falling on top of the other, but of course you get a say in the matter.))

((Works for me. :3 ))

As Dae fell forward, Dr. Robbins was pushed back. Apparently, Dae's strength had been altered a great deal. The doctor fell too the floor, his back making a loud noise against the floor, and the air being forced out of him as Dae fell on top, having followed in the gravitational pull of things. "Hello, Dae. It seems you are more unbalanced then we thought." he wheezed out, Dae's sudden weight being a little more than he expected. After a minute, he regained control over his breath, but still couldn't move much under Dae's weight.

Sky didn't miss the oppertunity for a pigpile, of course and began jumping on the two of them.

((I'm thinking he's gonna have to kinda go through rehab...relearn to walk etc. He may need a sponge bath.....LOL!))

"Oh sorry.." He mumbled and kinda rolled off him. The best he could manage was to sit up. sky crawled into his lap and began licking his face.

"hey, that tickles, and I'm uhm dirty....Really Doc everything smells strongly I'm not sure if its me or if I'm just more sensitive now." he looked at his hands. They weren't too different, just a bit elongated, his nails thicker and pointed like claws and the webbing between his fingers just a bit bigger. Oh and of course blue. His skin was just crazy. It was kinda shiny in a way, much harder and smooth....

"Some super hero...I can't even stand up... I guess this will take some getting used to."

((Yes, I mentioned that. lol. THat's what I thought we were going to fast forward through... owo;; ))

"We'll make you a superhero yet." he smiled, "It's just going to take some practice. And... maybe we should get you that bath first." He walkd over to the corner and pulled out a wheelchair with a low back, which would allow for Dae's wings to not be crushed. He locked the wheel and walked over to Dae, then lifted Sky up out of his lap and put him on the chair, "Just sit there a minute, Sky, so I can help Dae." he turned back to Dae and crouched down, putting his arms around Dae, "You're going to need to help me here; push off the floor with your feet. Ready? One, two, threee...!"
