Doji was seething aa he was wrapped in gauze.

"I can't believe that bastard got the upper hand again!" Doji snarled

Corvoss was counting the various Cryptocurrencies he rallied up from the betting. "My, quite a fortune I've made."

"You were taking bets?!" Doji snapped.

"Yes,I was." Corvoss replied with a snicker. "And I can't even tell you how many have bested for the boy." Doji growled angrily at that claim. "Oh relax, more people betted for your sake. But of course, those fools lost just about nearly every cent they've had."


Dustin, Damian, Verne, and Bea were trekking through a vast canyon in a dry and arrived dester.

"This is Yenaldooshi Canyon?" Dustin asked.

"Yes. And it's also where Derma lives." Damian replied. "If there's lne thing the guy's known for, it's shape-shifting."

"Meaning he could be around and we might not even know it." Dustin theorized. "In which case, we better keep our eyes peeled."

As the four walked, a creature reselling a condor obeyed in bony armor wa observing them.

***

After a few minutes of walking, the four stopped to rest beneath the shade of a large Boulder.

"Ugh… God!" Dustin groaned out as he wiped beads of sweat off of his brow. "Abd I thought Chasm Cove was hot! You could sweat your balls off out here!"

Suddenly, a howling sound was heard, making the four stand att attention.

"What was that?" Dustin asked, a bit unnerved.

Dustin would get his answer when an anthropomorphic coyote appeared before them. It had a long flowing mane and a bushy tail, it's eyes were red in color, and it had four sharp claws on each hand. Its teeth gnashing as it growled at them.

"Oh great!" Damian declared, his fists alight. "A Therianus latrans!"

"Careful! That could be Derma!" Verne stated, but a bunch of other therianus latrans then showed up, all surrounding them.

"Care to explain these thing?" Dustin asked Verne.

"Therianus latrans are kind of like werewolves, minus the human-wolf transformations. Despite their humanoid appearance, their quite feral minded."

"So simply, they're animals." Dustin theorized, smirking. "This shouldn't be difficult at all!"

In a flash of blue lights, Dustin had changed into…

"ROCKWEILER!" The anthropomorphic canine roared out with a growl. "Alright Wile E. Coyote! Bring it!"

The leading therianus letrans howled, and the entire pack charged. The leader of the pack attacked Eockweiler while the others attended to Verne, Bea, and Damian.

Rockweiler pushed the pack leader away, but two more pounced at him. Rockweiler however simply grabbed them before smashing their heads to get her and tossed them away.

Damian was firing fireballs at some of the anthropomorphic coyotes while Verne fired bolts of electricity. Bea stood behind the three, unaware that one of the humanoid coyotes was about to attack her.

But fortunately, Rockweiler noticed and grabbed the beast by the scruff of the neck before tossing it to a nearby Boulder.

"Bea, can't you use your water and ice powers here?" Rockweiler asked.

"I'm afraid I can't, sadly." Bea replied with a shake if her head.

"She uses water in the air to use her power!" Verne advised. "Sadly, there's hardly any around here."

"Oh." Rockweiler muttered before another one of anthro canines attacked from behind. Rockweiler was able to take the beast down by falling backwards into the ground and crushing it under his weight.

But more and more of the anthropomorphic coyotes just kept coming.

"Alright! I've had e ought of this!" Rockweiler groaned in annoyance before raising his arms upwards, causing a large fissure to appear beneath the mass of therianus latrans to fall I to it before sealing it back up. Those that remained knew that they were outmanned, so their best course of action was to retreat.

"Yeah! That's right Scooby gang! You better run!" Rockweiler called out with a smug grin before changing back to Dustin.

"We better get moving!" said Damian. "Who know what else will come at us?"

And with that, the four continued to walk.

It had been a few hours, and the gang were still trekking through the cabin.

"How long is this thing?!" Dustin groaned out.

"Help! Somebody help"

Dustin looked around, and there he saw an elderly man struggling to stand with his cane. And he was being hounded by lizards abkut the size of a small dog.

Each lizard has bright-yellow eyes, red-rimmed eyelids, scale color ranging from a greenish color, an orange color, and a yellow color, and exactly 11 spots. Their tail were long and they had red neck frills.

"Yellow Dotted Basilisks!" Bea gasped in shock at the scene. "That poor old man's trouble. A sin gle bite from those lizards and he'll be done for."

"Not if I got a say in it!" Dustin declared before whistling. "Hey you bunch of handbags!" The lizards looked to him and began running towards him. Dustin however smirked before being enveloped in a blue light, transforming into Indestructile.

"Bring it, you little shots!" Indestructile declared before firing a stream of acid at the lizards, destroying each and every one of them. "That was easy." Indestructile stopped the Digitrix symbol on his shoulder with his tail, changing back to Dustin.

Dustin then ran to the elderly man and helped him up.

"Young man… you saved my life." The elderly man said thankfully. "Thank you.'

"Nor prob." Dustin replied.

"Oh, you poor man." Bea said, approaching the elder man. "It must be sweltering hot out here."

"Yeah, you must be burning out here!" Dustin said, looking to a shaded spot. "Come on, there's some shade over there." Dustin and Bea helped walk the elderly man to the shade.

"My, thank you so much." The elderly man said in gratitude. "I'm Blackfoot, by the way."

"I'm Dustin." Sustin introduced with a smile before motioning to Bea. "This is Bea." Dustin notions to Verne and Damian. "And those guys are Damian and Verne."

"A pleasure." Blackfoot said with a nod. "How can I ever repay you?"

"No need. Just seeing you…" Dustin said before realizing something. "Hey. Maybe you know the location of the portal."

"Ah, yes I do." The elderly man replied with a nod. "I've been here long enough to know its surroundings."

"Well, we appreciate it, but I think we should get going." Verne said as he began to walk. "Come along!"

"Verne, we can't just leave him here!" Bea protested, motioning to Blackfoot. "He was just attacked by Yellow Dotted Basilisks!"

"Yeah man!" Dustin agreed. "He could lead us to the portal!"

"Immcertain we can find it ourselves!" Verne said, clearly showing distrust towards Blackfoot.

"Dude, this old geezer nearly got mauled!" Damian said, walking towards the old man. "Besides, it's three against one here."

Verne was about to protest against this, but it's true that this was a one-sided argument.

"Oh… very well." Verne sighed in defeat. "Lead the way, sir."

"Of course." Blakcfoot said as Dustin and Bea helped him up. "Be sure to stay close. There are plenty of deadly creatures lurking about here."

And with that the gang walked off, all the while Verne was giving Blackfoot a skeptical look.

The five had stopped near a watering hole after a few hours of walking.

"Aw yeah!" Damian said as he rant to the water, taking a drink from it as Blackfoot walked to one of the plants near the water.

With a tug, Blackfoot pulled out what looked like a wild onion in the size of an orange and was a deep maroon in color.

"Ooh! Bladder Roots!' Bea said as she pulled out another of the plants and began munching down on the onion-like root, her face lighting up in glee as she ate it.

"Those look pretty good, actually." Dustin said as he pulled out another Bladder Root, eyes widening before talking another bite.

But suddenly, they heard what sounded like a ping grunting. They look to see what looked like a large boar with a gray fur coat, long straight tusks, a buzzsaw blade on its back, and brown eyes.

"A lancetusk." Blackfoot muttered in surprise as the monstrous boar paid them and took a drink from the water. And from it came more of its kind, some were even piglets.

One of the piglets then took notice of Dustin and trotted towards him out of curiosity, grunting as it sniffed him.

"Oh, well look at you." Dustin said, slowly placing his hand to the piglet, the piglets sniffing its hand before nuzzling it, and he pets the piglet with a smile. "You are just too cute."

Suddenly, a screech sound was heard. Then boar-like creatures perked their ears up and began before they ran off.

"Uh-oh!" Damian looked up, seeing a large bird flying high in the sky.

The bird resembled a condor and was roughly the size of a semi truck with a wingspan measuring up to 100 feet, it had a large crest on its forehead, and it's wings were both copper with a sickle-like claw.

"A King Roc!" Verne cried out in terror. "Run!"

The five ran for it, and the enormous bird noticed them and swooped down towards them.

"Shit! He's ganging up on us!" Dustin declared in terror as the giant bird was getting closer.

"We should scatter!" Verne advised.

"I've got a better idea!" Dustin said, readying the Digitrix and accessing. "Einstrike! Sonicada!"

And suddenly, Dustin was enveloped in a bar code egg dome for a few moments until vanishing to reveal a new form that resembled a yellow bipedal beetle mixed with a taser.

"BUG ZAPPER!" The beetle-like form called out before unfurling his wings and taking flight.


Given Name: Bug Zapper

The fusion of Sonicada and Einstrike, Bug Zapper is a simply named bug that provides a rather electrifying appearance. With a durable exoskeleton and the ability to generate electrical shocks of up to 10,000 volts, this electric insect will show you that he is lightning before the thunder.


"Alright you oversized chicken!" Bug Zapper declared, his arms sparked with electricity. "Get ready for the shock of a lifetime!"

The giant bird shrieked and flew towards Bug Zapper, but the electric insectoid fired bolts of electricity to the bird. But the attack handle did any damage.

"Crap!" Bug Zapper groaned before flying away as the King Roc flew past him. But Bug Zapper remembered the watering hole and had an idea.

"Hey you big stupid pidgeon!" Bug Zapper called out, grabbing the big bird glare at him. "Come at me!" Bug Zapper followed up, flipping the bird with all four of his arms.

That got the bird angry as it flew towards him again. And Bug Zapper flew towards the watering hole. And when Bug Zapper got close enough to the watering hole, he looked at the giant bird. "That's right, come closer!"

When the bird was getting close, Bug Zapper ran off, and the King Roc fell into water. And with that, Bug Zapper then unleashed a blast of electricity at the soaked giant bird. The bridge shrieked in agony until the electricity ceased. In pain, the giant bird got out of the water, shook itself dry, and flew away.

"Yeah! Fly off!" Bug Zapper antagonized.

***

After a long trek, the had arrived at the portal, with sides consisting of two totem poles with a blank of wood making up the top and a green and red vortex in the middle of it.

"Finally!" Dustin sighed in relief. "Thank God!"

But suddenly, the four were struck by white electricity, and ice formed on them to freeze them in place.

"Too bad you won't be able leave." Blackfoot chuckled before he emitted a bright green glow. And moments later, Blackfoot revealed himself to be Derma.

"Derma!" Damian gasped in shock. "Damn it! I should have known!"

'That's right!" Derma replied with a smirk. "You idiots couldn't have been the wiser."

"So this ugly fuck is Derma?" Dustin asked, unnerved by Derma's appearance. "You could use a skin graft!"

"Yea, I'm Derma. Embodiment of envy!" Derma introduced himself. "You've been a real pain in the ass, kid!" Derma then glowed green again, this time changing into… Indestructile?! "But no more!"

"The Hell?!" Dustin muttered in disbelief.

"Surprised kid?" Derma asked with a chuckle. "But that's not the only surprise I have in store!"

Derma, still as Indestructible, formed the same white crystal armor that Gemplified Freakshow had on his back, along with developing the purple crystal arm-blades on his forearms.

"Oh crap!" Dustin murmured in shock.

"That's right!" Derma replied with a chuckle. "I've learned the abilities of your new transformations!"

Dustin was surprised at first, but hie then had a smirk. "In that case…" Duatin said before transforming into Sonicada while breaking free from the ice.

Derma was about to strike, but Sonicada released a high frequency sound, making Derma and the others cover their ears. But Derma was in the most pain as he tried to block out the noise.

"AAAAAHHH! MY EARS!" Derma roared out in pain as he changed back to his normal form.

And when that was done, Sonicada ceased his attack before grabbing Verne, Bea, and Damian before flying into the portal.

Derma got up, till rubbing his ears while seething in rage.

"Dammit!" Derma groaned out in defeat. "Little bastard got the jump on me!"
