" ...ahhhhh, what happened" Chinonso grumbled awake, his eyes twitching ever so slightly as they slowly opened up.
He tried massaging his temple with his hand but was stunned when he felt his forehead.
" The hell?" He mumbled when he felt his hand hit against a rough surface, though he could still feel his hand, the usual soft sensation he felt when he touched his head was actually gone?.
" Why on earth does my head feel like a rock he muttered only to be even more shocked when he caught a glimpse of his so called hand.
" Woah!!! woah!! woah!!, what the hell happened to my hands?!!!" He shrieked for what came into his vision was not his usual 5 fingered arm but a metallic like arm with sharp pincers at the end.
Before he could process what was happening he heard several shrieks originate around him jolting him awake.
" What the hell happened to my arms, I got paw's!!!!, i got freaking paws!!!!" A frightened scream could be heard from his left.
Chinonso turned towards it and behold what came into his sights was a surprising black wolf! but that wasn't what frightened him, what left him frightened was that the wolf's shriek matched his brothers voice!.
" Ebube!, is that you‽" He yelled in shock.
" Chinonso?!!" The wolf turned towards him, it's eyes filled with the same amount of shock if not more.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! " The both screamed in unison pointing towards each other with there supposed limbs.
" What the heck happened to you!!" Ebube remarked, his eye's scanning Chinonso in horror, his gaze soon landing on the ominous tail that curved behind him like a deadly scythe.
" I should be saying the same about you!" Chinonso retorted, also looking at his now canine like brother with a peculiar look.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" A muffled sound was suddenly heard, the duo were quickly alerted to the sound.
" Damn it, That sounded like Kosi!"
" What on earth could've happened to him?!" They both said before running towards the direction of the noise, specifically a lake which was situated behind them.
With his quick and nimble limbs Ebube was first to make it to the lake though Chinonso who looked horrific was able to make it almost just as fast, at least this showed that the duo were capable of movement at least.
" Kosi!, Kosi where are you!" Ebube yelled urgently.
Chinonso quickly scanned the lake with his eye's looking for him as well, it didn't take long for the duo to spot a flurry of bubbles emerging on the lake surface.
Splash!
With a splash of water, a primal creature emerged before them, it's body was covered in slick black scales with a mouth filled with razor sharp teeth fitted in rows and cold blood red frightening eye's.
The creature that emerged before them was an actual shark though still in it's infancy stage.
" Wait that's Kosi?" Ebube tilted his furry head to the side, his eyes laced with confusion.
" How on earth did you become a shark?" Chinonso stared at him in wonder.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's a monster!!!" The little shark screamed in terror the moment he submerged, quickly retreating back underwater.
" Huh?!!, a monster?, where is it!" Chinonso turned vigilant his strange body turning around swiftly but on turning he didn't see anything but the trees in the distance and the cloud filled sky.
He was feeling confused when he suddenly felt a furry hand pat him on the back.
" I think he was talking about you..." Ebube remarked with a forced smile but when matched with his sharp fangs it looked completely ferocious even Chinonso thought so, if not for him already being vigilant he would've jumped back in fear.
" Wait but am not a monster?" Chinonso replied, only for a sudden realization to hit him, he really hadn't gotten a good look at himself till now.
" Well technically you do look like one..." Ebube placed his left paw against his cheek as if pondering something.
" if am not mistaken with those sharp pincers, frightening eye's and that deadly scythe of a tail behind you, you should be a scorpion!" Ebube added.
Chinonso went towards the water to look at his reflection and just like Ebube said he really did match the description of a scorpion, he had several blood red eye's, a black exoskeleton, two sharp menacing pincers and a deadly tail stationed at the back.
Seeing such a reflection Chinonso unconsciously gulped down hard, a sense of trepidation washed over him from just seeing his reflection but he quickly shook his head when a certain thought came to mind.
" We almost forgot, we're still looking for Zara aren't we‽" Chinonso quickly reminded them.
" Oh yeah!, I almost forgot as well!" Ebube said with realization, his sharp wolf eyes started glancing left and right before coming across something.
" Hey I think I found something!" Ebube said before running back to their earlier position.
Chinonso glanced back at the lake which Kosi had retreated into, judging by the size and features he decided that there was no danger whatsoever in the lake that could threaten his dear younger brother, only after making sure of that did he run after Ebube, his 6 legs sprinting faster than one would expect.
" What is it, what did you find?" He asked after coming to a halt.
" These...." Ebube said while pointing at several markings on the ground, thankfully they had arrived early for the markings looked intact.
" You found her foot prints?!" Chinonso said with glee before giving them a scrutinized look, the foot prints looked as if they were made by a creature with 5 toes, not bigger than Ebube, probably clawed and on four limbs.
" What on earth did she become?" Chinonso blurted out, his eyes filled with wonder.
" Who knows, but that really doesn't matter right now, what matters is that we find her quickly before something happens" Ebube said, clearly adapting to the situation at hand.
" Perfectly said!" Chinonso agreed.
" But right now I think it's best you watch over Kosi, I'll go find Zara" Chinonso added leaving Ebube stunned.
" Are you sure?!, I mean I could go look for her instead, I can just sniff her out with my new snout" Ebube said with while pointing at his dark snout.
" No that's not needed right now, We just became monsters so I really don't think you would instantly become an expert on sniffing, Don't worry about it I can manage" Chinonso raised his two piecers in conformation.
" Bedsides, I think this thing might just be of help as well" Chinonso added, his gaze landing on a certain something floating midair before him though he wasn't sure if Ebube could see it as well.

' Blah blah blah, you call this crap a system?, more like a load of spam instead..'
' Sigh...it's all the same, Wish they would at least change it to be a little different than the ones in the Novels ' Chinonso said inwardly, on seeing the multiple notifications he wasn't even bothered to read them at all.
" What thing...., wait, you mean you can see it?!" Ebube suddenly asked only to be stunned at the end.
" If you're talking about the glowing hollow panel in front of us then yeah any problem?" Chinonso asked wondering what the matter was.
" Don't you even know what that is?!!!" Ebube said, his voice clearly exasperated.
" No I don't?, why are you so syked up anyways is this thing supposed to be special or something?" Chinonso's blood red eyes dimmed and brightened once more, since he didn't have eye lids it looked like this was how his current body blinked.
A/N( syked means excited in slang)
" That's a system panel for crying out loud, You know the type that appears in fantasy, sci-fi, wuxia, and urban novels "
" And?, could you please get to the point already we still got a sister to find " Chinonso waved his left pincer, urging him to get on with it.
' This ungrateful idiot!, he clearly doesn't even know what he has!!!, darn it!, this isn't fair!, I thought systems only came in ones and not given to multiple people!" Ebube cursed inwardly.
Instead of veins clearly visible on his head as if they would pop at any moment, his luscious black fur was actually standing on end instead like an agitated cat leaving Chinonso to wonder whether he was surprisingly part feline.
A/N( feline is another word for cat).
Ebube stood there glaring at his older brother while trembling, he swore that he was just about to pounce on the ignorant fool when his older brother who he was irritated by suddenly started laughing.
" Hahahaha the fxck?, Ebube I didn't know you actually liked this stuff to such a degree hahahaha" Chinonso chuckled, dabbing at his eyes with his pincers as if cleaning his non existent tears from laughing so hard.
" Of course I know what a system is, geeze who do you even think lay'd the foundation you started on?" Chinonso added with a light chuckle.
" Boy it seems like you've forgotten who I am" Chinonso smiled proudly, but without lips his terrifying sharp maw was being shown instead.
' This Guy!!!' Ebube starred in shock and annoyance as Chinonso stood upwards on two of his pair of legs, thumbing his chest with his pincer.
Seeing such a made Ebube feel even more frustrated.
" Bastard!, I thought you were going to save Zara or something, Why aren't you gone yet!!" Ebube smacked at chinonso's head with his paws but with how tough it was it felt like a child's frustrated hit to him.
" Hahahaha fine fine I'll go, judging from what's written on here it says we've all got something called a Evo.System?, sounds almost similar to an Evo gun if you ask
me" Chinonso snickered while glancing at the glowing holographic sight that maintained a certain distance Infront of him before walking off.
His 6 legs quickly went into action, he soon vanished into the forest of trees and bushes.
