Evolution

A sonorous boom echoed through the woods as William and the Cat Sage hit the ground in a heap. Noodle let out a bark of laughter as he rushed forward and vaulted onto the dragon's back, eager to resume his attack.

Nekomata could not help the sigh of relief that escaped his lips as he watched the man and dog bashing the dragon mercilessly. He looked adoringly at the meteorite fragment cradled in his paws. He was not sure exactly what the fragment was, but he knew that it was good for supercats.

The dragon lay on the grass, immobile. It was bleeding heavily from large, open wounds that were covered all over its back. William stood triumphantly on the defeated creature as he checked out his mission panel. His eyes lit up when he saw that he had been awarded the permanent superpowers. He could barely contain his excitement.
