Immediately seeing that the person in front of the two from White Rose was an Altered, they started to transform immediately as well. Large wings had sprouted from both of their backs, breaking through a slit made in their uniforms. It was designed specifically for occasions like this.
"Don't you think the two of us fully transforming against one is a bit overkill?" Frank asked.
"Do you think that about someone has come out of their way to go against us?" Sadie replied. "It must mean they were pretty sure of who we were, the fact that we are White Rose agents, and they were confident enough that they could beat us in a fight."
The mysterious hood of the man was taken down, but he had transformed too fast for them to get a proper look at what he looked like. His head started to split into several strands, all around the same size, and his neck started to grow.
His skin started to change as it gained scales on its body, and as for the heads themselves, they looked like something in between that of a snake and a dragon, especially with its sharp glowing eyes and thin tongue that would come out of its mouth.
"Hey, hey, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Frank asked. "That's a Hydra, the thing Hercules had to take down."
Immediately, Sadie acted as she threw out her feathers which would straighten up and harden. They came out fast like bullets toward the Altered.
Raven had five heads in total, and two of them had quickly caught onto the feathers, biting them. When opening its mouth, the feathers fell to the floor.
"It's quite fast," Sadie said as she flew up in the air but kept her eyes locked onto it. "I'll support from up here; you fight hand to hand with them below!"
Frank was a bit cautious, but he knew that her abilities to harden part of her feathers were better for distant combat, while for him, he had strong claw-like hands. They were already dark blue in color and had two large hardened nails to hook on.
'Ah man, this is a mythical type. I thought things would get easier for us the higher up we went in White Rose, but we just keep meeting crazier and crazier Altered!'
Shaking his head, Frank decided to charge in. He rushed ahead, having faced countless numbers of Altered before, he had done so with next to no fear.
Immediately, one of the large heads went to attack him, but he managed to block it with the force of his powerful wing. With a push of his legs, he went ahead and tried to swing his claw at one of the heads, but they had swiveled and bit hard into his arm.
"Crap, that hurts!" Frank shouted.
"You should have investigated more into the deaths of the Altered! You should have matched up the clues! Why am I the one that is doing the job for you!" With one of the head's fangs attached to Frank, it lifted him up in the air and slammed him down on the ground.
The rest of the heads were ready to bite down on him until a rain of hardened feathers hit Raven several times on the back of his neck. They had managed to pierce him and draw blood.
Using this moment and a flinch of pain, Frank leapt up, kicking off the ground with his wings and legs, and used his claw to grab one of the necks. His deadly claws were directly on them. He squeezed down with all of his force, and then when the nails were several inches deep in, he pulled with all of his strength, detaching one of the heads from the rest of its body. Immediately, the black blood started to spill all over the place. Frank had moved his wing to block it from falling on his face, but the moment blood hit his wings, he started to feel an incredible pain like acid.
"ARGHH! Crap, that really hurts!" The pain had caused him to drop a part of the head onto the floor. With one down, it was time for him to go for the next four; he was sure at least one of the heads would be the real one and taking that out would stop the others from attacking.
When he opened his wings, though, right through the head he had ripped off, he could see something growing, and soon, out from the sprouted end, two heads appeared, and now in total, there were six heads, all of them the same size.
Immediately, two had bit onto the top of Frank's wings, and with its massive amount of strength, it lifted him into the air and started to pull at him. The pain was immense as he felt the wings trying to detach themselves from his body.
"For a detective, you are quite lacking in knowledge, don't you know anything about the mythical Hydra?" Raven asked. "If you take out one head, then two grow back in its place. With my Altered form, it's a permanent feature, so thank you for helping me grow stronger!"
He was pulling the wings even more, and Sadie needed to do something desperately. She started to gather several feathers, and as they hardened, she held them as if it was some type of sword. In her hand, she dived down heading right for the Hydra.
She was ready to slash at him when one of the heads extended out and opened its mouth wide. Sadie did the instinctive thing, and stabbed right through it, splitting it in half and then taking her blade out. The blood was pouring on her face, causing her skin to burn, while at the same time, parts of the blood were oozing out, destroying its own head. Parts of it were falling, and quickly, two more were growing in its place.
In the middle of their growth, it swung and hit Sadie in the side, sending her crashing to the ground.
Two talented White Rose agents were no match for the Mythical Type Altered, who was only getting stronger.
