Mel to Sly Stallone FTM TG
NOTE: This is based on a dream I had last night involving a psychotic game show hostess who transforms people and this involves Mel and her friends solving a case that is related to her only for it to back-fire.
~~~~~~~~~~~
You may night never know what happens to a tv star...sometimes they get successful movie careers and record deals, and sometimes they go completely mad. Such as the case of the villainess in today's story. Madam Caritanyia was once a very successful game show hostess, basically a Vanna White type on a show called Morphomania...a show where wacky transformations happened to the contestants. She was extremely popular and attractive, in every episode she wore an unusual dress with a creature print design on them and often sometimes was shot at angles that made it look like she had glowing eyes. After the show got cancelled she went insane and tried to bring it back numerous times, this times she attempted to make a worldwide tour out of it. Mel was in her apartment one evening with Eucalyptus watching re-runs of the show on the Monster TV network, which would have a 'classics' night that aired classic shows of theirs. 'Woah...did you see that? Yeah, that contestant got transformed into a rat-monster.' 'He looks like Splinter.' 'Now that you mention it...yeah he does.'
'What do you think? Do you think this show still holds up?' 'Absolutely...but I wonder what happened to her.' 'I heard that she went insane.' 'I know there was something wrong with her!'. The two of them bantered for a little bit as Mel got the popcorn ready but as she did, the alarm went off as a news report came on. 'News just in...a series of disappearances have been reported as of recently, some people have been receiving mysterious invitations to Caritanyia's new show that is touring around the city of Oakendale.' 'Do you think she may have something to do with those disappearances?' 'Knowing this show...yep, definitely.'
"Should we head out and take care of this?"
"You betcha..come on, let's go."
Mel and Eukie grabbed all of their equipment and used a teleportation device to teleport themselves over to the Monster TV Network studio where the live-version of the show was being tapped, they investigated the studio, searching every corner in search of clues. Both of them stayed close together. 'I suggest we stick together on this'. 'Right, because everytime someone says "Let's split up!" in these type of adventures something terrible always happens'. 'Correct, now let's do this!'. The two of them stuck together, searching through the studios but as they did...they found themselves running into one of the unfortunate victims of Caritanyia's transformations. The victim was a human/frog-monster hybrid with a long tongue, but there was something Mel recognized about the victim...it was Kevin, a roommate of hers, she recognized Kevin's signature Gremlins hat and t shirt. 'Kevin...is that you?' 'Yeah, it is.' 'Oh no...you look...' 'I know, I look like an amphibian'. 'What did she do to you?' 'I can recall that I signed on to be her show, I lost in one of the challenges and she transformed me into this. And now look at me, I look like i'm fused with Kermit.'
"You poor thing...maybe we should rescue you and get you out of this."
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Hmm...why not? Don't you wanna be back home with us?"
"I said I don't think that's a good idea, on the account of I think that the crazy hostess herself..."
"Yes?"
"On the account of...she's over there."
Mel and Eucalyptus looked over and glared, there she was...Caritaynia herself, dressed in an elaborate zebra print gown and gloves while also wearing her signature jacket and necklace. On her show she always wore silver jewelry and even in photoshoots posed with a silver orb in her hand which gave off Phantasm vibes. She had long dark red hair and dark green eyes which always seemed to look like they were glowing. 'Ah, Miss Caritaynia I presume'. 'You must be Mel, and this koala must be your best friend Eucalyptus'. 'Yep, that's us. Who else would we be?' 'And by the way, that's DOCTOR Eucalyptus to you, missy.' Eucalyptus responded.
Caritaynia hissed before smirking wickedly...she always was cocky and confident. 'You two have got a quite of sense of humor. I love when my guests/contestants make jokes even when they're about to be experimented on'. 'I'm glad you like that because you won't find it so hilarious once we foil your plans.' Mel readied her magic and prepared to battle the hostess, but Caritaynia used her rotating wheel spell to send the two of them flying onto the ground and onto the table as she gestured to the camera. 'Oh boy...I know where this is going.' 'Yep, me too..'.
The cameras started rolling as the show began, a revamped version of the Morphomania theme played during the intro as the announcer announced the guest line-up before introducing Caritaynia herself. Caritanyia floated over to the podium and spoke up. 'Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the new and improved Morphomania. I'm your glamorous wild-gal hostess with the most and we've got a lot of fun challenges for our guests today. Speaking of guests, let's meet them'. 'This isn't gonna be good'. 'You said it Mel'. 'Making their first appearance on my show, say hello to the comedic koala duo of Mel and Eucalyptus.' The camera panned over to Mel and Eucalyptus who were both lying on platforms that rose from the ground.
"Woah...the set doesn't look half bad." Eukie quipped.
"Yeah..although I would definitely tone down the traps in that area on the left. You don't want this show to be unsuitable for families now do ya?" Mel responded, teasing Caritaynia as she announced the challenges that were coming up, Mel chuckled as the crowd heard her jokes, she always did enjoy making wisecracks, even when in danger. 'Why thank you, dear...but now, it's time to take the challenges. Each challenge is a transformation challenge that involves trivia and monster lore, however if one of you loses...'.
Caritaynia pointed to a set of silver needles/quills that were on the experiment table, along with her silver orbs. 'Looks like we're going to have to avoid those.' 'Yeah, luckily for us we're excellent at trivia.' 'You two both seem rather confident, are you sure you're gonna win?' 'Well of course we are. We're trivia champions. You should see Eukie's trophy room collection!'. 'Very well...let the games begin.' With those words, the transformation trivia challenges commenced, Mel and Eukie took turns to answer questions about transformation stories and monsters and also watched as people who made wrong answers were transformed into all sorts of monsters. Mel even recognized Natalia Peters (a friend of hers) who had been turned into a demonic fish-woman, and some Pokemon she had met a few weeks ago who had been brainwashed by her.
The two of them passed each challenge with flying colors, that is until they got to the last one. "How many adaptations of Stephen King's books have there been?" 'Oh I know this one for sure. 42.' 'Incorrect.' 'What? You have got to be kidding me. That is the correct answer, I said there are 42 King adaptations'. 'You forgot Thinner and The Running Man!' 'Those aren't King books, those are Richard Bachman books. Well actually that's an alias that King used to write those books.' 'Still..incorrect, sorry...you both did well, but unfortunately you lose.'
"The only one losing here is YOU!"
"Yeah, give it up Caritaynia..."
The hostess hissed as she briefly morphed into her were-leopard form, flashing her sharpened teeth and glowing eyes as she removed the fingers from her gloves to reveal her fingernails lengthening, fur with a spotted pattern slowly covering her hands and even on the sides of her face. Mel tried to use her super-strength to break free from the table, and she succeeded but not before a mutated contestant grabbed her, she managed to fight the contestant though. "Is that all you've got?" 'Oh no, that's not all i've got. I gotta admit, I didn't expect you to be the tough action heroine type.' 'That's because we haven't met until now'. 'That gives me an idea'.
"Whatever sick idea you have, we want no part of it."
"Just turn our friends back to normal and let them go and then we can kick butt like we normally do!"
"I'm afraid it's not so simple. But hey, i'm sorry you two didn't win."
Eucalyptus scowled as she raised her eyebrows, she straightened her dark green hair as she looked over with the hostess with a glare that definitely wasn't a pleased one. 'You're the one who said Mel's answer was incorrect. Yes, Mel did leave out Running Man and Thinner but she was right about King and the Richard Bachman alias that he used. You should have known that. What? Do you think Mel doesn't know all there is to know about King?' 'Yeah, that was uncalled for'. Mel struggled for a little bit before doing a few backflips and fighting off another mutated contestant, the crowd seemed to be cheering for her as well. Eucalyptus helped her for a little bit before doing a few fighting moves of her own. 'Oh yeah, go us...go us!'.' 'Such formidable skills you two have, while you may not have won a prize for being in first place. You may still get a prize yet. And you know that means, don't you?'.
'A prize that involves death maybe? Because that's the usual one.' 'Well that and being brainwashed or transformed since that is what happens anyway.' The two koalas exchanged witty banter with the hostess/villainess, but it was short-lived as she pulled out her signature silver needle which contained a serum and injected it, right into Mel's right arm. 'Is that all? A shot? That wasn't so bad...normally there's something kind of freaky additional thing!' 'Uhhh...Mel?'. 'What is it, Eukie?'. Mel gasped and jolted back in horror as she saw her fur slowly transitioning into rugged looking skin, and more than that as she saw her black tank top slowly straining due to pressure. 'Okay..normally when I gain muscle i'm hulking out...but I don't think this is a hulk type transformation although it looks like one'.
She squirmed a little bit as a brief painful sensation crept through her body, the buttons on her tank top slowly popping off as her chest and torso slowly broadened and gained musculature. She looked down and then noticed her breasts slowly retreating into the former, she panicked...before regaining her calm nature. 'If this top gets ruined then someone is getting their butt kicked extra hard!' 'Mel...what's happening? Are you alright?' 'Aaaaw man, this hurts...my arms, my legs...my everything...everything hurts!'. The koala-girl groaned as her tank top tore apart, revealing a more muscled upperbody that was different than her typical one, normally her muscled up physique was when she was a 'werekoala' or when she was in her hulked up form but this was different. Noticeable pecs and abs materialized on it, as she blushed and gasped at the exact same time, she hadn't been given this sort of process before.
Mel examined her altering body for a little bit with her hands, she then noticed her arms slowly broadening, her hands enlarging in the process. 'That's it...i'm going to kick that leopard diva's sorry butt!'. 'Same here, but I think you might wanna try and figure out how to turn yourself back to normal first.' 'You're right...I must remember my training techniques'. Luckily for her she was an extremely well-trained marsupial, she had spent many evenings/week-nights meditating and mastering how to focus on her normal form whenever she got transformed. So that's what she did...she tried to focus on how she normally looked, attempting to keep calm in the process..for a while it worked, she morphed back into herself but not before the serum's contents influenced her even more.
She yelped in agony as her hips retracted and her legs broadened, while also becoming athletic...her jeans didn't tear or rip but rather contorted to fit her changing physique. Her privates spread and contorted into the more mannish variant while her tail faded, her signature fluffy marsupial tail seemed to no longer be a part of her. The koala-girl struggled to keep herself from panicking, attempting several more times to turn back to normal but to no avail...as the serum was altering her DNA in the process. A series of crunching noises were heard as her feet changed shape. 'Caritanyia, you're going to be in so much trouble when I get through with you! Ugh...this is unbearable!'.
Her much larger feet seemed to nearly break through her boots, but not by much...as her boots did grow a little to support them. Mel clutched her stomach as she walked over to Eukie, reaching out to her for help/assistance. As she did, she slowly shot up in height to 5'8 as her back broadened, her shoulders following suit. 'You can do it Mel, I believe in you. I believe we can get through this together!'. Mel hoped that they would be able to get through it all, and was trying her best to remaining optimistic even as she was transforming, her neckline growing a bit as her hair slowly extended, growing longer than normal and altering in color from brown to jet black. 'It's going to take more than a few weeks to get this hair of mine straightened out!'.
She sighed, panicking a little bit before addressing the problem to her best friend. 'I know, but hold on Mel...i'm sure this isn't all bad.' 'I barely recognize myself.' 'I still can...you still look sort of like the old you to me.' 'You really think so?' 'I'm positive'. While she was a little more at ease, she was still a little bit afraid as her koala-like ears slowly faded and altered beneath her hair, her brow becoming a bit more pronounced as her eyebrows thickened. Her eyes remained brown but darkened a little, as one of them drooped and her cheekbones sharpened. Her jawline broadened in the process, giving her a pseudo lantern jaw. She felt her face, as her feminine features masculinized and her lips altered in appearance, the lower lip becoming a bit crooked..contorting to become a perennial snarl that made her look intimidating, she examined her appearance in the reflection of her phone.
"Mel...is that you in there?"
'It is...I think..but I look like i'm a Sly Stallone look-a-like."
"Yeah, you definitely do..same tough facial expression, same height, same build and everything."
"The only thing that isn't Stallone-ish, is my voice.."
"Don't jinx it Mel, you know what happens when people do that."
"Oops...should have known better!"
Mel gasped as her vocal chords rearrange, her usual sweet and female voice deepening and gruffening, altering into a more masculine one as it altered to match her appearance. 'Yep, definitely should have known better than to jinx it like that, even though it is totally expected'. She murmured as her voice altered further, her speech didn't alter except in a small way as her voice completely matched her appearance. 'Aaand now, you sound just like him!' 'Indeed, I do...and this is odd, i've never been him before. Yes I crush on him, but i've never been him.' 'That's odd considering you've been almost everyone I know including me.' 'I know...'
Her or rather his personality altered, he still had a few of Mel's memories and personality quirks but he became a bit more confident while still obtaining the same sarcastic sense of humor and biting wit as before. He had Sly's personality as well as bits of Mel's, which made for a hilarious contrast. A tough, badass action hero acting like a socially awkward and adorkable horror movie buff and monster expert definitely was an interesting contrast with a humorous aspect to it..'Okay. NOW you're definitely Stallone. But you act like Mel...so how do I know it's you?' 'Ask me a question only I would know.' 'Alright then...what was the first horror movie that you introduced to Lithius?' 'Oooh, that moment is a classic. Basically Lithius wanted to watch a superhero movie and I wanted to watch a horror movie and we couldn't agree on what we wanted so I flipped through the channels and came across a Troma film.' 'Which Troma film was it though?' 'Toxic Avenger. It's a superhero movie and a horror movie all in one, although I really should have considered his weak stomach..seriously Lithius was sick for almost a whole week after I showed him that.' 'That's definitely a Mel answer if I heard it, yep that's definitely you!'. Sly hugged Eukie for a little bit before going over to face the hostess that transformed him.
"Now you truly do resemble an action hero, a much better look for you."
"And all the better to kick your butt with!"
He entered a fighting stance as he got ready to fight her, managing to fend off her attacks. However, she had an additional trick up her sleeve, as she turned into her wereleopardess form and attempted to slash at him with her claws, however due to already being supernatural to begin with Sly was immune to the scratches. Caritanyia threw some silver orbs in his direction but Eucalyptus jumped in front of him and got hit by one of them instead, a needle extracted out of one and jabbed itself into her shoulder. Eucalyptus coughed for several seconds before morphing in a similar way to how Sly transformed...and within a few minutes or more later, she or rather he had morphed into Kurt Russell. 'Eukie..is that you in there?' 'Well who else would it be in here?'. Kurt chuckled to himself. 'Yep, even though we're basically now two male action stars, we're still the same old duo in terms of our personalities'.
'Yep...although it is weird.' 'How so?' 'When I said I desired to see a Tango and Cash reunion...I didn't expect it to be like this!' 'Now what have I told you? That's right, our motto is expect the unexpected.' 'It's definitely a much more slogan worthy motto. The last one I suggested..was too threatening.' 'Yeah it turned a lot of people off.' 'So what do you say...wanna help teach this kitty some manners?' 'Oh you know the answer already, yes!'. The two of them fought Caritanyia and some of the mutated contestants while rescuing several of their captured friends, proving how formidable they were as a team. Caritanyia wasn't going to give up the fight though, she had one more trick...however before she could execute this...Sly kicked her several times and sent her flying against the wall, knocking down several of the serums she had including a wereleopardess serum.
"I've got it...throw me that leopard serum there!"
"Alright, one leopard serum coming up!"
Kurt tossed his companion the wereleopardess serum, Sly then injected the serum into Caritanyia's arm and they stood back as the hostess lost control of her powers and turned into her wereleopardess form, lunging at the two of them..well, she would have lunged at them but then a giant cage dropped down on her and she was trapped. 'Ha, gotcha!' 'We did it, we got her!' 'You may have caught me but i'm still victorious.' 'Well...I believe we can fix that.' Sly grabbed a container containing silver orbs and he threw several of them towards audience members and contestants, the orbs opened up releasing dust that healed them all and turned them back to normal.
"Aaaaw...now my comeback is ruined."
"So now what do you say? Are you sorry for doing this?"
"Yes...I am. I let all this get to my head and I realized that even though I had lots of fans already that I didn't need to capture and transform and brainwash people in order to gain new ones. I realize that going after your friends was a terrible idea too."
"See? Now isn't that better?"
"Definitely. Thank you two...I definitely feel better."
"Would you ever consider making a comeback but this time as a good guy?"
"Maybe...thanks for the suggestion!"
"What can we say except...you're welcome!"
Sly and Kurt broke out into a comedic rendition of the Moana song 'You're Welcome' as Sly put on a black tank top to replace the one that had ripped and he even looked over at the audience for a few seconds. Once the cameras stopped rolling, the formerly transformed audience members and contestants cheered for their heroes, appreciating their heroic efforts as the show wrapped up. The two of them got out their communicators and teleported out of the studio and back into the apartment, as they looked around for a second..they were glad to find that their friends were brought back to normal, however there was one small problem. 'Can I speak to you for a second or minute?' 'Sure...what is it?' 'It's about the transformations.' 'Which ones?' 'The ones that happened to the contestants.'
'I think everyone is just about normal now.' 'Well, not exactly everyone'. 'What do you mean by that?' 'Back at the studio, I used one of the spare antidotes to cure Kevin and...' 'Aaand while it did work, it didn't entirely make him his old self.' 'Do you mean he still has frog-like traits?' 'Yep, he's still mostly human but he now has webbed feet, a long tongue and has green skin.' The two heroes chuckled to themselves, Kevin sat on the couch and responded in a cheerful manner. 'Actually I don't mind it so much' 'But didn't you want to be turned back to normal earlier?' 'Yeah and i'm glad to be mostly normal but this form is kinda cool.'
"That's so you, Kevin...that's so you."
"Indeed it is."
And thus with that the three decided to stay as their transformed selves for a while, and they decided to spend some time checking out what was coming up next on the Monster TV Network. A couple of hours later they invented their cured friends over and celebrated. As for Caritanyia, she did manage to get an actual comeback but as a companion rather than a villainess, she apologized on television for everything that she did and explained what exactly happened to her. Thus brings us to the moral of the story, is the power of comebacks, for there is nothing quite as powerful as a good comeback and yes...that includes the forces of evil, you may not think that it's possible, but it is. For even villains can eventually make a comeback on the side of good.

So that's what she did...she tried to focus on how she normally looked, attempting to keep calm in the process..for a while it worked, she morphed back into herself but not before the serum's contents influenced her even more.
She yelped in agony as her hips retracted and her legs broadened, while also becoming athletic...her jeans didn't tear or rip but rather contorted to fit her changing physique. Her privates spread and contorted into the more mannish variant while her tail faded, her signature fluffy marsupial tail seemed to no longer be a part of her. The koala-girl struggled to keep herself from panicking, attempting several more times to turn back to normal but to no avail...as the serum was altering her DNA in the process. A series of crunching noises were heard as her feet changed shape. 'Caritanyia, you're going to be in so much trouble when I get through with you! Ugh...this is unbearable!'.
Her much larger feet seemed to nearly break through her boots, but not by much...as her boots did grow a little to support them. Mel clutched her stomach as she walked over to Eukie, reaching out to her for help/assistance. As she did, she slowly shot up in height to 5'8 as her back broadened, her shoulders following suit. 'You can do it Mel, I believe in you. I believe we can get through this together!'. Mel hoped that they would be able to get through it all, and was trying her best to remaining optimistic even as she was transforming, her neckline growing a bit as her hair slowly extended, growing longer than normal and altering in color from brown to jet black. 'It's going to take more than a few weeks to get this hair of mine straightened out!'.
She sighed, panicking a little bit before addressing the problem to her best friend. 'I know, but hold on Mel...i'm sure this isn't all bad.' 'I barely recognize myself.' 'I still can...you still look sort of like the old you to me.' 'You really think so?' 'I'm positive'. While she was a little more at ease, she was still a little bit afraid as her koala-like ears slowly faded and altered beneath her hair, her brow becoming a bit more pronounced as her eyebrows thickened. Her eyes remained brown but darkened a little, as one of them drooped and her cheekbones sharpened. Her jawline broadened in the process, giving her a pseudo lantern jaw. She felt her face, as her feminine features masculinized and her lips altered in appearance, the lower lip becoming a bit crooked..contorting to become a perennial snarl that made her look intimidating, she examined her appearance in the reflection of her phone.
"Mel...is that you in there?"
'It is...I think..but I look like i'm a Sly Stallone look-a-like."
"Yeah, you definitely do..same tough facial expression, same height, same build and everything."
"The only thing that isn't Stallone-ish, is my voice.."
"Don't jinx it Mel, you know what happens when people do that."
"Oops...should have known better!"
Mel gasped as her vocal chords rearrange, her usual sweet and female voice deepening and gruffening, altering into a more masculine one as it altered to match her appearance. 'Yep, definitely should have known better than to jinx it like that, even though it is totally expected'. She murmured as her voice altered further, her speech didn't alter except in a small way as her voice completely matched her appearance. 'Aaand now, you sound just like him!' 'Indeed, I do...and this is odd, i've never been him before. Yes I crush on him, but i've never been him.' 'That's odd considering you've been almost everyone I know including me.' 'I know...'
Her or rather his personality altered, he still had a few of Mel's memories and personality quirks but he became a bit more confident while still obtaining the same sarcastic sense of humor and biting wit as before. He had Sly's personality as well as bits of Mel's, which made for a hilarious contrast. A tough, badass action hero acting like a socially awkward and adorkable horror movie buff and monster expert definitely was an interesting contrast with a humorous aspect to it..'Okay. NOW you're definitely Stallone. But you act like Mel...so how do I know it's you?' 'Ask me a question only I would know.' 'Alright then...what was the first horror movie that you introduced to Lithius?' 'Oooh, that moment is a classic. Basically Lithius wanted to watch a superhero movie and I wanted to watch a horror movie and we couldn't agree on what we wanted so I flipped through the channels and came across a Troma film.' 'Which Troma film was it though?' 'Toxic Avenger. It's a superhero movie and a horror movie all in one, although I really should have considered his weak stomach..seriously Lithius was sick for almost a whole week after I showed him that.' 'That's definitely a Mel answer if I heard it, yep that's definitely you!'. Sly hugged Eukie for a little bit before going over to face the hostess that transformed him.
"Now you truly do resemble an action hero, a much better look for you."
"And all the better to kick your butt with!"
He entered a fighting stance as he got ready to fight her, managing to fend off her attacks. However, she had an additional trick up her sleeve, as she turned into her wereleopardess form and attempted to slash at him with her claws, however due to already being supernatural to begin with Sly was immune to the scratches. Caritanyia threw some silver orbs in his direction but Eucalyptus jumped in front of him and got hit by one of them instead, a needle extracted out of one and jabbed itself into her shoulder. Eucalyptus coughed for several seconds before morphing in a similar way to how Sly transformed...and within a few minutes or more later, she or rather he had morphed into Kurt Russell. 'Eukie..is that you in there?' 'Well who else would it be in here?'. Kurt chuckled to himself. 'Yep, even though we're basically now two male action stars, we're still the same old duo in terms of our personalities'.
'Yep...although it is weird.' 'How so?' 'When I said I desired to see a Tango and Cash reunion...I didn't expect it to be like this!' 'Now what have I told you? That's right, our motto is expect the unexpected.' 'It's definitely a much more slogan worthy motto. The last one I suggested..was too threatening.' 'Yeah it turned a lot of people off.' 'So what do you say...wanna help teach this kitty some manners?' 'Oh you know the answer already, yes!'. The two of them fought Caritanyia and some of the mutated contestants while rescuing several of their captured friends, proving how formidable they were as a team. Caritanyia wasn't going to give up the fight though, she had one more trick...however before she could execute this...Sly kicked her several times and sent her flying against the wall, knocking down several of the serums she had including a wereleopardess serum.
"I've got it...throw me that leopard serum there!"
"Alright, one leopard serum coming up!"
Kurt tossed his companion the wereleopardess serum, Sly then injected the serum into Caritanyia's arm and they stood back as the hostess lost control of her powers and turned into her wereleopardess form, lunging at the two of them..well, she would have lunged at them but then a giant cage dropped down on her and she was trapped. 'Ha, gotcha!' 'We did it, we got her!' 'You may have caught me but i'm still victorious.' 'Well...I believe we can fix that.' Sly grabbed a container containing silver orbs and he threw several of them towards audience members and contestants, the orbs opened up releasing dust that healed them all and turned them back to normal.
"Aaaaw...now my comeback is ruined."
"So now what do you say? Are you sorry for doing this?"
"Yes...I am. I let all this get to my head and I realized that even though I had lots of fans already that I didn't need to capture and transform and brainwash people in order to gain new ones. I realize that going after your friends was a terrible idea too."
"See? Now isn't that better?"
"Definitely. Thank you two...I definitely feel better."
"Would you ever consider making a comeback but this time as a good guy?"
"Maybe...thanks for the suggestion!"
"What can we say except...you're welcome!"
Sly and Kurt broke out into a comedic rendition of the Moana song 'You're Welcome' as Sly put on a black tank top to replace the one that had ripped and he even looked over at the audience for a few seconds. Once the cameras stopped rolling, the formerly transformed audience members and contestants cheered for their heroes, appreciating their heroic efforts as the show wrapped up. The two of them got out their communicators and teleported out of the studio and back into the apartment, as they looked around for a second..they were glad to find that their friends were brought back to normal, however there was one small problem. 'Can I speak to you for a second or minute?' 'Sure...what is it?' 'It's about the transformations.' 'Which ones?' 'The ones that happened to the contestants.'
'I think everyone is just about normal now.' 'Well, not exactly everyone'. 'What do you mean by that?' 'Back at the studio, I used one of the spare antidotes to cure Kevin and...' 'Aaand while it did work, it didn't entirely make him his old self.' 'Do you mean he still has frog-like traits?' 'Yep, he's still mostly human but he now has webbed feet, a long tongue and has green skin.' The two heroes chuckled to themselves, Kevin sat on the couch and responded in a cheerful manner. 'Actually I don't mind it so much' 'But didn't you want to be turned back to normal earlier?' 'Yeah and i'm glad to be mostly normal but this form is kinda cool.'
"That's so you, Kevin...that's so you."
"Indeed it is."
And thus with that the three decided to stay as their transformed selves for a while, and they decided to spend some time checking out what was coming up next on the Monster TV Network. A couple of hours later they invented their cured friends over and celebrated. As for Caritanyia, she did manage to get an actual comeback but as a companion rather than a villainess, she apologized on television for everything that she did and explained what exactly happened to her. Thus brings us to the moral of the story, is the power of comebacks, for there is nothing quite as powerful as a good comeback and yes...that includes the forces of evil, you may not think that it's possible, but it is. For even villains can eventually make a comeback on the side of good.
