Earth- USA- Florida- Clearwater Beach.

At the beach was a bonfire with a group of about 3 young men. the first was a skinny albino of a man, skin pale enough to make snow look impure, red irises and black hair. he stood at around 5 foot 8, almost a dwarf compared to the other three. He looked like an average joe you would find in the streets with his looks other than you know, the skin and eyes. a woman who had read twilight might mistake him for Edward. hell, he even had sharp canines that his friends teased him for. he might have fans awaiting him if it weren't for the fact that he looked a bit drunk, stumbling here and there while whispering.

The second looked like he was fucking Hercules. Tall, tan green eyes and curly dirty blonde hair. and not to mention built like a monster with muscles rippling across his entire body looking like they are about to burst any moment. his face was one that could get him into any movie for looks alone, with a chiseled jaw, a sharp nose he was quite handsome. unfortunately, this was ruined by the fact that he was absolutely shit faced and was moving his jaw like a fish, up-down, up-down, up-down. he was mumbling to himself and looking between the first and third man.

The third looked like he didn't belong, while not as out of place as the first he didn't look to be having fun. with a bit of baby fat but still a good deal of muscle he was white. like you know, the type that will get extra mild and scream about how hot it is, white. he compares to the other two was a bit uglier than the others but at the very least he wasn't drunk like the other two. at least too much. he could still reason pretty well compared to the others. he was trying and failing to talk to the others about life and philosophy, as everyone does when buzzed. they were 'chatting' til one looked towards the beach. a beautiful place really, deep sapphire water, a moon that looked close enough to reach out and grab, (which of course Hercules had already one without thinking only to get sad when he couldn't) and without a cloud in the sky. it was a sight that many would not see. their attention, however, was with the creature that was on the shore. about 8 feet long, from nose tip to tail, covered in scales and with a jaw that was considered the JAWS of land, was an alligator just sitting there.

"I bet you could wrestle it Russ." the vampire said to the greek now known as Russ. Russ simply looked at the vampire then at the gator and back and forth a few more times before responding. "I-I-I could d-definitely do it." surprising everyone including himself he almost managed to get out a real sentence without stuttering. "then do it wussy, come on man, you got it." the vampire kept trying to egg him on, which was almost working before the third man made his presence known. "come on eddy, with that gator, Russ would likely lose an arm or his head if he's unlucky." Eddy looked back at the mild sauce man and just told him " shut up carl, it'll be fine. do you even see the muscles on this guy? that gator would be lucky if it could get past them." eddy then decided to go back to his beer, unfortunately, his words already hit hard into Russ and he was on his way down to the shore.

as Russ got down there, the gator turned to face him and once in position it started to hiss at him, a natural warning for most predators in the world. russ stumbled down towards it but still kept his distance from it as even when drunk, he still understood the fact that a bite from one of these could really hurt him. he started circling around it while the gator tried to keep up with his walking speed. when he finally got behind it he managed to jump and grapple onto its back. naturally, as an introvert and animal would, it immediately started thrashing around in an attempt to throw him off. and while it failed to do so it still bumped him up a bit and still hurt a bit, though eventually, he managed to work his way towards its mouth and hold it shut between his powerful, calloused hands. after about a minute of holding it down, he got ready to jump back from it. he put his legs in position and in a movement you wouldn't expect from a man who was just shitfaced he jumped back while the gator thrashed immediately after being released. its revenge, however, was fruitless as he was already out of its range as he backed up slowly keeping an eye on it before turning around.

"Y-your turn eddy" Russ turned back to look at eddy while limping a bit towards the bonfire. eddy just looked at him with a face paler than before, (which shouldn't really be possible) and walked down towards the alligator. with slight sweat rolling down his forehead he tried to circle the alligator in a similar fashion to how Russ had just a minute ago. as he got to about the same area Russ had been he tried to jump on the alligator. unfortunately, the alligator had learned from Russ and immediately turned around just as Eddy was about to land on him, biting into his shoulder.

"AHHHHHHH! YOU FUCKING CUNT AHHHH!!!" Eddy screamed out in pain from getting bit with 3700 PSI right on his shoulder where there is basically a nest of them. with a crunch coming from his bones and blood spurting out, the gator starts performing the move that was part of what made it famous. The Death Roll. the alligator immediately throws its body to the side and starts rolling, ripping out flesh and bone from his shoulder. unsurprisingly, Eddy started to black out from the pain as any normal person would do in this situation. meanwhile, his friends after seeing eddy bit by the alligator immediately started to run towards them. carl whipping out his phone to dial 911 and Russ tackling the alligator to get it to let go of eddy. it eventually does but the damage was already done. bleeding out on the ground they could only watch as their friend of 5 years bled to death, forming a crimson pool around him.

*Eddy POV*

My sleep was disturbed by a feeling of maximum discomfort, which can only be described as the indecisiveness between having your foot inside the blankets and having them be too hot. or having them be outside and them being too cold. I tried looking around, the thing is I can't really see right now. I can move, I think, but I just see black all around me. it was overwhelming. or is it underwhelming, with how little there was to see? Eh, either way, I'm whelmed. As I was just thinking about how whelming this all was, a bright flash of light and a ringing sound came from all around me. As if I was inside a flashbang. when I managed to open my eyes without them screaming at me from the pain, I was in a cage, a rather large one at that. outside the cage was what seemed like a street light, but the walls around me disagreed. in front of the cage and under the light were two men in pressed blue shirts with red ties, tan pants, and large white lab coats you would expect from a scientist. the first one had a checklist and the second had a camera. and a good one at that. it looked like it belonged in a movie studio with its size and average shape. I tried to move my arms but they were being held back by something, and as I looked over my arms I realized a small problem. or a big problem.... alright a huge fucking problem. my arms were much thicker and Scalier than my arms from before. they had small spines running along my triceps and claws that looked like they could cut steel like butter. after looking at them I began looking myself over as a whole. and what I saw scared me. about ten feet long, no legs but rather a large tail, two thick arms with scales and spines galore. as I looked closer at the scales I saw that they were diamond shaped and deep blue with ripples of light blue. it was then that I did something that probably should have been my first thought. Where the fuck am I? Why do I look like this? What happened?

"test subject has awoken. beginning clinical trial 1, administering serum." the man on the left spoke as I looked over my new body and in a split second, I felt a stabbing sensation come from my back. I immediately try to move only to be restricted by the chains binding its arms, neck, and tail. once the stabby feeling stopped the area around it started burning up as if I was injected with pure fire. the feeling as if my body was being burned inside out, if you hadn't guessed already was rather unpleasant. As I screamed in pain, I recognized the fact that it didn't sound anything like a scream but a roar. like a roar you would expect from a lion or something. the scientists surprisingly were able to stay standing even after it while the fire in my veins moved from my back and into the different crevices of my new body. on the bright side, I can now tell exactly where the densest cluster of nerves is on my new body. why is this good news? simple. I will avoid getting hit on these spOtS AS I RIP THEIR FUCKING GUTS FROM THEIR BODIES WHEN I GET OUT!

"Patient reacting within acceptable parameters. Begin training." the man on the left again spoke out while checking something off on his checklist and walking out the door. the man on the right was simply setting up the camera for auto pilot I assume. once he was done he left for the door that the first man had gone through. a few minutes later of mind-numbing pain and a second door a bit to the right of the first opened up and two women in red came in, each with a wide smile on their face as if I was their best friend. I almost smiled back to them, until they brought out their 'toys'. Ah, Shit.
