Silence. Silence is most of what Avana #9 has known in the clone labs. She’s one of
12 clones of the original Avana kept in stasis. The original became a Salazzle. #12…is gone.
#11 became a bird. #10 became a Lycanroc, and then a Latias. She knows she’s next, but
until the time that she’s used she floats silently in her restful gooey cold tube.
One day, it happens. She feels the bubbles in the tube accelerate as a suction unlike
anything she’s experienced since her initial cloning pulls her down to the bottom of the
tube. Could it be happening? As she moves through the goo, she feels foreign DNA merge
with her system and a beak extruding from her head as she’s turned into a bird like #11. A
bit disappointing, but she’s being awakened nonetheless and couldn’t be happier to finally
get out of the tube. She reaches the black latex mesh at the bottom and pauses. She’s not
being pushed out the tube, just left to sit half in the bottom. Something is up. Regardless,
she’s not about to stop now when she’s so close to air and freedom. At least, free relative to
being stuck in a tube all her life.
She smiles and pushes her new wing through the tube mesh. It resists her far more
than she anticipated, requiring eRort from her that she’s glad to provide as her wing buzzes
and starts to feel more like the tube than an organic wing. Peeking outside she sees her
wing has doubled in size and has some peculiar features. She was right, it wasn’t just a bird
transformation! The bird part was priming her for this! She eagerly goes headfirst through
the wet squishy tube, pushing outwards as her body shifts, morphs, and grows. A dark
power consumes her heart as she’s filled with the shadow virus, crying out in bliss as she
stretches her long neck and falls onto the floor. She’s strong now, and large. A shadow
Lugia LCU! She gets to her feet and grins, minuature clone tubes protruding from her back
with a hiss as she feels her powers manifest.
Of course she has the standard stuR you would expect. The ability to create clone
Lugias, the ability to create LCU of prey, the ability to mark prey, and built in cloning pods to
do so in. Any prey currently stored can serve as conduits for her to use their special
abilities. However, she also got some extra powers mixed in that deviate from the standard.
She has the ability to drain the levels of her prey to gain the extra power herself. This is all
accompanied by a gnawing massive hunger inside and a lack of any pity for her victims.
She smiles and stretches her wings, ready to serve her master and cause some trouble. A
gooey visor is planted on her face to help ensure control, which oRends Avana just a little,
but she doesn’t particularly care as it also provides increased communications abilities
long range. A green light to leave. She soars into the sky outside the lab, free in the night,
and gets to work, licking her lips as she hunts for her first prey
