Surrender

"We need to work together! We have to stop the transformation!"

Having recovered from his initial shock, William finally figured out what was happening. He swiftly flung the net of concussed supercats away. Then, he tossed the meteorite fragment even further.

It was too late.

The fragment had already fueled the last stage of Cat Sage's evolution. Nothing could stop the dragon's metamorphosis. Its colossal body grew larger still and was soon adorned with a glistening coat of golden scales.

William was undeterred. He raised both fists and began pummeling mercilessly against its back like a pile-driver.

Nekomata joined in as well. He used his telekinetic powers to pry open the wounds that had been freshly mended together.

Fish Ball climbed onto his feet as well. He released a beam of bright light that tunneled right into the dragon's eyes.
