《⏳Valin:
"Breaking into places to do good, say like, save animals from being used as test subjects is a kind hearted gesture. However, a good deed sadly gets punished too often in this cruel world. More often than not, you'll be harmed or mauled by the animal you save. And in the event what you are saving isn't actually an Animal but a *Person*, of another species altogether, you may be cursed or killed. Only on the extreme rare occasions are you lucky to find one that would normally do either, curse or maul, and instead be grateful and understanding that some humans care...all too few do..."

A facility of pure white sits over a cliff at the edge of town. The cliff and wall make it clear they want no neighbors, and that nothing gets in...or out.

Rumors abound of horrific experimentations being done on animals happen here. A group of eco terrorist, animal rights activists, decides that they will act to stop this atrocious behavior and stop at nothing to set each and every single poor animal FREE!

However, they want intel on the facility, the lay out of the place. So in goes two to get this intel...well, supposed to be two. A third follows them inside when having been told to remain behind. His heart is too pure to have him just sit around and do nothing.

The two don combat boots and black suits with pockets for keys and such. While he is more dressed for a hike, shoes, shorts, tank top, hooded vest. His white hair also has him stick out. He wanted to look, harmless, not like the guards there.

It took time but the two find a way in at the dead of night. The third following them watches as they take life to free life, something he can't bring himself to do. As the couple move on with new weapons and card keys he moves in.

Startled to death by a fatally wounded guard, he trys to help him when warned to leave, "close the doors", "don't let *Them* out", before dieing.

Not sure what to make of the warning, he finds another card key and heads in...closing the door behind him. Staying well enough back not to scare the two ahead so he won't be shot. When they come to the large hall's Y split, they take one way and he was going to follow when something in him told him not to go that way, to stop following them, so he goes down the other hall.

The walls, floors, ceilings have been covered in some weird markings since near the front of the place, now alone, he studies them for a bit. Was it possible that someone had already made it in and put graffiti all over? Who, and what happened to them he wondered.

He is deep within the facility now, he sees door after door, wondering what could be on the other side of them.
People? Armed or otherwise.
Animals? Dangerous or friendly?
He finally decides on a door to try and slowly opens it. It's dark, too dark to see, so he doesn't know what is in there with him. Leaving the door open just enough to let him squeeze out in a rush, he reaches for a little clicker with a worthless light.

He speaks out to whatever maybe in there, hoping it won't be a guard that'll hurt him. He speaks nervously, yet with his heart felt desire to save whatever is there.
What is there was at first thinking this is her chance to get out, even if it ment consuming the soul of the one there. But hearing his words, she can feel his kind heart and now is conflicted as to what to do.

He moves in further and comes across, a red fox. It looks alright given the rumors, but why is there then? He kneels down an puts out a hand, asking for it to come to him, he will get it out of there, he promises. He can see one thing, it's sad, which tugs at his heart.
She moves in, in order to get out of there, she must do it, she must enter him. The runes of the place won't let her just waltz out unscathed. She sheds a tear once she is close enough.
He notices the tear and is both saddened and confused.

Her tail splits into nine. His eyes widen! She moves fast and enters him! Her tails wrap around him, holding him gently for a few moments, brushes his cheek, then enters him slowly and as gently as she did.

A mix of feelings wash over him. He felt no pain, just, sadness, regret. Suddenly, he feels something, a thought echoes in his mind, "(escape, quickly)". A remorseful plea for him to hurry out of there...
🔹️
He stands there in shock, a beautiful Red Fox just flew into his chest!? He feels his chest as sparsely on the back of his hands and fingers grows black fur. The tingly feeling has him bring up his hands to look at them as red fur sparsely grows on the outer sides of his upper arms and black fur sparsely grows on the front of his lower legs.
"(Please, you must get out of here!)" "Who?" "(Hurry! Flee this building as quick as you can!)" "O-ok."
He looks for the door as strands of hair go from white to red fur. As he lays eyes on the faint light coming from the cracked door, a few whiskers grow on the right side of his face, he feels them as.
"(I'm sorry. Just hurry as fast as you can, i'll try to keep you save!)" "I don't understand what's going on, but ok."

He runs out to the hall and takes off. He looks around, the markings catch his attention for now they cause him to shudder in fear for some reason, this prompts him to put up his hood to limit his view. However, as he did it, he watched as black fur sparsely grows on the outer sides of his lower arms. "What's happening to me?"
"(It's me, because i'm in you)" "Then could you get out of me?" Red fur sparsely grows on his lower legs.
"(Not right now. You said you wanted to get me out of here right?)" "Yeah?" Few whiskers grow on the left "(Then please just hurry)" "But?" His eyebrows turn into red fur.
He runs on "Why can't you just run with me?" "(The runes are why)" "Runes?" While more of his hair is becoming red fur, some turns into fur while remaining white.

"(Those markings on the wall)" "Then, the fear i feel." Black fur spreads sparsely to the front of his lower arms "Is yours." "(Yes)" More red fur sparsely grows on his lower legs. "I promise to get you out of here, but..."
!SLAM!
He scampers away from the door while making scared fox noises! Hands to mouth and more hair transitions into fur of red and white. As he moves his hands away to talk more whiskers grow.
"-! D-, Did that come from m-!"
A voice from beyond the door calls out, wanting to be let out. His ear lobes shrink away as: "Did you hear that?" Red fur sparsely spreads to the front and back of his lower arms.

"(I did, but we need to keep going!)" He reaches for the door as his pointer and pinky finger's of both hands dissolve into his skin. "Someone is there wanting out." The being inside continues to roar it wants out. "(No! Don't Open That Door!)" He reaches for the knob and grabs it "I just can't leave whoever is it in there." Turns it "(Stop!)" Pushes it op- SLAM!
The one within hits the door again as it opened, bashing it back breaking it to open towards the boy! He hits the ground as the door slams the wall then to the floor!

Upon hitting the ground he yipes! 1 hand goes to his mouth and the other goes to his butt- a tail stub? -! He stares up at the being from the room and thinks "(Oh, my, God!)"
The door opening, bashed open, and both hitting the floor happened in moments of each other.
The CREATURE gets up and looks at him, with a blood lusting fury! The runes begin glowing as it trys to attack him but he scooches back! Black spots start forming on the prints of his pointer and pinky fingers as he moved. It goes down on all fours in pain! It looks right then takes off, slips and gets back up, moves on, falls, trys to get up and falls for the last time. It struggles a bit before just laying there.
"(That's why i can't leave you now that we're out of those rooms, now please, run!)" "Running!" But in the wrong way.

He runs down a thin hall connecting cell rows and are ment to keep large creatures from following anyone should it have the strength to do so.

His hair continues to shorten as it becomes a mix of red and white fur. "(Is this the way you came?)" "No, i've never been down such a thin hall here."
His arms and legs, all once areas of body hair is now fur.
"(Then why'd you go this way?)" "I didn't want to go near that one!" "(Mh, understandable. But he was no longer a threat)" Nails of his middle fingers dissolve into skin as black spots form on their prints.
"Because of the runes?" "(Yes)"

As he comes out on the otherside white fur sparsely grows on his chin. He looks around, the runes are dark, and so is the hall. "Um, which way?" "(I don't know, we're unconscious when brought here)" "Maybe, right?" He runs off. His lips begin to black.
He runs around for a few moments when he finds a door.
"This isn't like the cell doors." His ears sparsely grow white in them around the hole as their rounded tops begin to form points. "(Just be careful, we could end up running into guards)" "neither of us want that." He whispered as he opened the door.

He looks around as he slowly pushes the door open. "Mh, is this, a lunch room?" He closes the door softly and walks about. "(Even the sick monsters of this place need to eat)" "mh."
Black spots begin to form on his thumbs.
A door bursts opens and in runs someone who slams the door shut! He hides and thinks "(Is it a worker here or one of the other two? / You're not alone? / I wasn't supposed to be here)"
More white fur grows on his chin.
Sounds of groaning comes from the other. "(Does he need help? / You really can't help yourself can you?)" He rises up from behind the table and "d-Do you need help?" A sudden jerk and distorted growl! He ducks down quickly! His fingers shift and thumbnails dissolve into his skin.

"(What Was That!? / A victim of another prisoner)" the other in the room is annoyed by the presence of yet another intruder as his voice distorts into growls.
Fur thickens some on his arms as he cowers "(What's happened to him? / It sounds like he's changing. / Into what?)" As chairs and a table are sent flying a fearsome roar is let loose! He shakes in terror and squeaks out a scared fox sound. Fur thickens some on his legs, fur stands up in fear.
A sudden burst of noise from afar followed by the table he's under shaking!
He looks up as huge clawed fingers curl around the edge of the table as a Werewolf's head comes down and roars in his face!
The table tilts over as it slides! He makes all kinds of frantic fox sounds as he scrambles away!

His lips start to turn black as his ears begin stretching inside his hood. He looks around "No runes!?" "(DOWN!)" he dives and the Werewolf goes flying over him, swiping its arms in an attempt to catch him! It crashes into other tables and chairs letting out pained sounds!
As he trys to get up his feet slip about in his shoes and his fingers bend backwards a bit more as his hand slowly starts to extend up them.
He turns and sees a door and runs for it! Hands out to grab the knob, his ring fingernails dissolve as black spots begin forming on their prints.

He hits the door, opening it and squeezing through, closing it just in time for the Werewolf to crash into it! He trys to hold the door close as he notices his hands! The slaming of the door, be it him closing it or trying to keep it closed forced claws to fire out every digit!
-! He looks back and down as two furless tails worm their way out of his shorts-leg ends, while one per leg came out, the movement and feeling within suggests a third tail of some length and two more stubs!
"(I'm sorry, i tried to hold them back, hold it all back)"
His ears start to push his hood back. "Not my real concern right now!" "(Mine either)"

The weaker door is no match for the Werewolf and the doorjamb breaks and he falls back yiping as his canines change into smaller fangs! Falling back this time has his hood comes off due to his fully changed ears pushing it backwards.
He scrambles, turning round to crawl away, ears curl down, the force along with the awkward placement has him slip out of his shoes, they fly off- one hitting the Werewolf. He looks back, that side ear aims towards the Werewolf then rotates back down. His feet have changed, his big toes are gone and his other toes have shifted.

He quickly moves for a hole under the island as red fur covers his upper arms!
The Werewolf roars as it swipes at him, his ears twitch upwards. Black fur begins to grow up his ears and red down the back of his neck. -!
He is grabbed and pulled back! He looks back as his ears rotate to face forward. As the Werewolf reaches for him he gets to his side and kicks! Pressing his foot against it forces claws to come out! It lets go and he flips over and kicks again, claws come out of both feet now. He brings in both feet and kangaroo kicks it hard and brings them down afterwards to slash it with his new claws!
He flips back over and speeds for the hole as the Werewolf takes a beat to check the wounds then goes after him once more!

He gets through the hole and the Werewolf decides to go over, climbing up onto the island, it reaches down for him but he moves out of reach, his feet finalize into back paws. The structure of the paw and length between it and heel. Crawling and stopping on his back paws was more comfortable and didn't make him stall long between postures.
As the Werewolf leans down round the otherside of the island to grab him, he comes out from under and runs towards the stove. It gets down and slashes at him, hitting the stove instead.
*Clickclickclickclick*

He spun around from the attack and slams his back against the another kitchen door, he reaches for the knob -? "Where's the knob?"
As he pads the door for the knob, his body had begun shrinking, his hand won't find it as long as he doesn't reach up!
The Werewolf turns for him and moves to him, sensing he won't be moving anytime soon.
"(Pass your hand between the fire of the stove, wave it to that thing!)" "Ok?" The fire that lit from the Werewolf moving its claws by the already moved switch now stretches towards it and spreads quickly across its body as it roars out in pain!

"Where's the knob?" He turned to find it "w-Why is it so high up?" He grabs it and turns it "(It's because you're shrinking)" he passes through and closes it "I'm shrinking now?" "(If you hurry, i might be able to reverse some of the changes, just hurry outside)" "I'm trying!"
The door bursts open behind him as the wailing Werewolf comes out, the runes FLARE into action, crushing it to the ground!
And yet, the flames burn on.

"(They cause gravity at fixed points to intensify)" He's running the best he can on his back paws. "I wish i knew where i was going! I just wanted to help!" The pads on his toes finalize, their texture change as the soles of his pawed feet now starts turning black.
"(I know, i can feel it in your heart. I'm sorry, i tried to hold my influence back, but i'm about to lose that fight)" The pads on his fingers finalize as well, their texture alters as the extension starts to form the pad of the paw's sole.
"I, i can feel it. How, why can i tell?" "(Because of what i had you do back there for us to live)" His tails continue to grow, the two are the length of his legs, one is half that, another two moving in his shorts are half that.

He's running down halls at random as he talks to her. The changes seemed to of stalled after red and more over white fur swallowd his neck. Pieces of clothing were ran passed in two halls.
But in its place came a pressure across his body. Doors to cells open, whatever once was inside, gone.
She can feel how frantic he is to get out, but yet "I promised, i'd get you out of here! I just have to keep looking!"
He thinks of her well being.
Guards running around, seemingly aimless, but garbbed the same, they are most likely going to the same place.
The exit?
He decides he can't risk it and just keeps running on his own.

"(I'm tired, i can't, hold it back any more...i'm sorry)"
He is hit with a pulse, he stops, closes his eyes, mouth hangs open and he groans in discomfort as he holds his head! He opens his eyes and brings his shakey hands down. The extending area crawls up his fingers more, to the second knuckle, as his digits all shrink a small bit.

His center teeth shrink as four new teeth, tiny fangs, grow in. His nose alters, nostrils flex and move up while separating from the outer lower edges. He lifts his head up as he leans a little forward, his neck begins to grow just a bit longer.
He opens his mouth wider and closes his eyes as his jaws move forward causing his teeth to shift around, front teeth transition into fangs as he closes his mouth, stretching his neck and head out straight as his jaws and nose line up!
He opens back up as his tongue rolls out and his face stretches out into the triangular like shape of a fox's muzzle. His remaining human teth change shape. As his muzzle pressed outward his skull collapsed, moving his ears up. His expression softens as fur covers his head from already fur covered areas. His snout blackens and its texure changes.

As black fur crawled up his ears on the outside a red triangle formed from the base up the center with white crowning them and his ears. From his once hairline down between his eyes, branching into three and stopping below his eyes and midway down his muzzle is a white streak. Near his whiskers black streaks form in the white fur.
He opens his eyes and looks to his muzzle, he pads it with his pawing hands. His eyes turn a autumn orange. "(That hurt didn't it?)" "N-no, it was like a jaw cramp. My, whole head?" Paws at his reformed cranium. "(Yes. You're almost out of time)" "Don't worry, i'll get close enough to the exit you can jump out and leave me!" "(!!!)"

He runs on, she is stunned by his willing sacrifice for her freedom. She can tell, if he had things his way, he would set them all free, even if they would mean him harm or aim to kill him. He is just that type of person.

With a fire burning bright in his, his determination to get her outside, he runs! Not caring about who might be around the corner or the fact just a bit ago he was not doing well. The pads of his back paws feet have turned fully black and their texture just now finished changing after starting altering as his head finalized. At the speed he is going, his claws barely click on the floor as the pads slap the floor, quietly.

His tails start to grow *peach fuzz*, fur finally starts sprouting on them. Like a ninja he speeds round corner after corner, through doors, looking desperately for the exit. Black fur covers his lower arms as black fur covers the front of his lower legs, red covers the rest with white from the inner thigh rounding the top of the knee to the outer side of the lower leg, separating a small portion of red and black.

His speed begins to wane for his tails continue to grow. First two are full, one is half that, two half that, and the new stubs have quickly grown to be near the second two's length. Not only this but the fur is really taking off, so the number and mass is catching up to the space offered up from his whole body shrinking still.

Inaudible breaks screech as he stops! "Stairs down? When did i go up?" "(I think we went up when we were avoiding the guards, but i'm not sure)" "mh...Then down i go. Mph?"
He is still shrinking overall, so trying to plant his paws is tricky with each step and it only gets worse as the structure of his legs alter, their length, their shape, how they want to be positioned.
Slip! "AAH! -! YIP! YIP! YIP! YIP! ~"
He trips down the stairs legs go forward and brought in as he fell onto his tails and butt, again and again, "Yip!" ing with each step hit!
He stops at the bottom, his now *back legs* unfold and don't lay flat to the ground. His paw/hands sit on the ground, fingers bent back a bit more and his wrists lock in this moment.

He sits there for a moment a little embarrassed, then goes to get up. His tails moving, all become the same length and fur mixed of red and black grows bushy on them, their ends white tipped with a solid black bar separating the white from the red.
SHSHSHRICK!
"-! Ah?...Mph?"
He *blushes* as his tails all moving together tear through his lower clothing and it just slides off as he gets up removing his shirt and vest the best he can while getting to a leaning forward stand.
"Huh? Why is there a gap?" There is a gap between his tails. "(The center, ninth, tail. It hasn't grown out yet)" "Oh..."

"These tails sure do act like a nice counterweight." He is moving on, he is move quickly, but somewhere between his first running speed and the one before just now.
"(They do support an vertical stance, but can weigh you down too, it is up to you. At this point, you maybe faster on all fours)" "I'm doing good like this for now."
Black fur swallows his back paws as his hand now finalize into paws. His extending hand gets to the third knuck as his fingers stop shrinking. "Ah?" He brings them up after one hand hit his leg and bent beyond a hand would. Paws with thumbs. Thumbs are slowly twisting as they shrank, eventually becoming dew claws.

"Well, i hope i don't need to worry about any doors beyond this point." She is unable to form words at how he's reacting. Fur now covers him completely, his belly finally gets covered, then his front paws get covered. Leaving his arms, shoulders and torso along with the final tail.

He runs down to a Y hallway where down one way he sees an open door with dead guards on the other side.
"That, looks like...then, that means, that's the exi- where'd this hall come fr- oh who cares!" He runs for it! "Just hold on! I'm almost there!"
"(No!)"
"Huh? -eh!"

He slows to a near stop, the ninth tail is growing out! As it inches out covered in short fur, his torso breaks, chest is pushing out as his shoulders collapse to his sides! He lowers down as this happens and stares back, watching it.
As the runes come to life, he starts walking on his paws.
His arm readjust, shrink some to make him leveled. He stares back, the ninth is growing out as the others move aside, like fingers they circle the ninth, their tips aimed at the end of the ninth.

He looks back ahead, with a strained grunt and push off he trys to pick up speed as the runes lighting up try to press him down! His shoulders grow closer together as his chest slows to a stop in pushing out. The ninth writhes as he lowers down as he moves forward, almost crawling now. "(Keep it up! You're almost there!)" "What, are you, doing? I, feel...You're in pain." "(I'm slowing the final tail. Just keep going! If you really want to save me that badly, then, i will do the same for you!)"

The runes glow brighter and brighter, he gets closer to the door. The runes glow brighter and brighter, he gets closer to the floor.
He crawls, pushing himself forward with his tails, all nine of them! Together they surge forward, pressing up off the floor as popping sounds can be heard, and blood comes from his mouth, nose, eyes.
Both shout out "PUSH!"/"(PUSH!)"...
🔹️
The red light fades, the runes go dormant......they made it out, they jumped, using his tails. The strain and pressure has sent him into shock. Though she could easily exit him and just leave, she trys to rouse him, get him to wake up and flee with her.
She heals his wounds and surrounds his soul, pulsing soothing energy into him.

He wakes. "are, we out?" "(Once out that door. Can you stand?)" "kh, just try to stop me." Limbs shake to life "(I wouldn't be able to)" He gets up shakily, but moves to the door, and leaves.
"The night sky." full of stars, though in the city it shouldn't be. "(Even with the light and pollution, i can still see them)"
As he walks off, as if nothing bad just happened or there's no pressing need to run "What else can you see?" "(Well...worry about it later, we have something else to worry about)" "Hm?...Oh, we still need to get out of here. Where should we go?" "(Leave town, go to a wooded area if you can find one)" "Ok, i know where to go."

While an old tale repeats, the group plans further raids wondering what's become of the missing three...

Meanwhile, the two got far away from town following a creak to a forest.
"You should be safe this far from town." "(Yes...it, should be safe here)" "So, you can stand on your own now, and...change me back?..." "(I'll...be out in a moment)"
He feels a weight lift away, and then the feeling of one's arms unwrapping from him like a hug from behind. She hops out of his back and lands nearby.
Her fur has changed to being pure white with red markings. She's also a bit larger now. She has a very regal and majestic look to her now.

Her tails flow like streamers behind her, with one, still attached to him. "Wow, you look...different." "It's my real form." He looks to the one tail, her ninth. "Are you, returning me to being a human?" She looks to the ground sadly. "What's wrong?" She pauses before "I...can't return you to normal." "You, can't?" "I'm trying. I tried to keep you human, and failed. I tried to keep you as human as possible, and failed. And now, i can't...I'm sorry." Her tail leaves him.

Silence...She expects him to become furious with and turns away, when. "It's ok, i'll be ok, i'll figure out something." She's shocked "(He's not mad at me?)" "It's, going to be difficult but i'll be ok." He looks himself over, lifting one leg after another, wiggling toes, moving his tails.
"(Is he really going to try and do it him self?)"
"My name is Koa by the way." "Huh?" "My name, it's Koa. I wanted to tell you my name." "O-oh...nice to meet you, Koa. Hmph." "Hm, i bet i can figure this out."
"My name is Lesik, and...I can help you." "You will?" "Yes. I failed to keep you human or human enough to stay in human society, let me make it up to you by teaching you how to be, what you are now." He looks at her guilt ridden face. "It's ok, i could tell in the way that you were really trying to help. But, i could use the help once more. So, i'll take it. Thank you." "You're welcome. Now, we should get further away from there. I would teleport us, but i can't right now." "Then i guess that means more walking!" He laughs, which causes her to laugh.

Time goes by and she teaches him verious things a Kitsuné can do. He isn't as strong as her, but he picks up most of the teachings easily.
The teacher student relationship changes over time. They become a family.

His days become busy taking care of a family beyond anything he'd imagine having, his mind still wonders from time to time back to that place, the other beings trapped there. While she loves his kind heart, she is unsure what he could do, the place is made to combat and counter things like them. He seys they'll just have to find and ask something beyond them then!
His desire echoes out and is heard by one such being.
A flash of blue and they turn to see...He asks the new arrival if his wish can be made come true?
He is told, yes.
