The burst shell turtle immediately let off a massive burst of heat. Enough to make everyone step far back. The shell seemed to become hotter and hotter before starting to crack and melt off. The soldier felt that all the energy in his body was being used up.
"Boy, how do you feel? What does you beast feel?!" Doc was worried that the worst was happening. For a beast to be overloaded with wrong materials and forced to lose its life. Such a beast as a burst shell turtle could actually explode.
"Great! Amazing! I've never felt her so happy!" The soldier was feeling more energy leave him and help his beast grow. But the pure joy of this growth was something he had not felt from his beast even when it had made the final steps in to adulthood.
"You said three to seven hours!?" Doc was harsh with his words, he needed confirmation from Clark immediately.
