I wake up in chains and surrounded by other dirty children who have the same forced fashion choice that I do. I tried to look around but it is completely dark, even with the cat eyes so I enhance my other senses. I smell the children's combined body odor and the smell of dried meat and fruit coming from above me. I feel that we are moving over an uneven surface and I hear the sounds of horses as well as talking from about 10 to 15 people.
[I think I am in a cage hidden in a carriage under the false produce of dried food. People outside our properly slavers or hired guards so they will be strong and prepared for a fight. But they won't be expecting the fight to come from the inside. so will kill as many as possible while hidden. First I need food in the tank, and what better source them the helpless meat bags just lying here.]
First I turn my hands and feet into sludge as I pull them through the chains then I set about eating and absorbing the surrounding body’s. The wooden flooring of the carriage beings to grown under my weight so I spread my body mass inside the hidden cage. Once I am done eating the children I search the cage for a lock or a way out which is difficult as it is only 2 feet high but it makes me believe that the exit is on the ceiling.
I am proven right when I find a hatch with a lock on it which I pick with some effort, but there is a weight on top of it and I don't want to knock something over and alert the salvers, so I take the acid from inside my stomach and dissolve parts of my ceiling where I make an eye and cautiously put it through the holes I have made, which I might add feels really fucking weird.
All I see are large crates filling most of the space inside the carriage apart for some small gaps such as the one my new eye is in. The crates are holding the dried food I have been smelling, so I use the acid to make holes in my ceiling and at the bottom of each create so I can eat all the food.
After a half an hour of eating I decided it would be good to do some reconnaissance of outside of the carriage so I make 4 eyes one to look out of each side of the carriage. we are on the road going through a forest. I see another carriage. Both the carriages including the one I am on each have 5 guards surrounding them. Looking around I try to find the most powerful person to take out with the sneak attack. I notice three potential targets the first was the only guard on a horse, showing her importance. She was wearing loose robe which I think means she is a mage. The second is wearing armor with a giant spike on his back, the only reason I can think of is that it helps his power. The third is not wearing armor leaving me to believe that he is fast and agile.
With the priority targets in order, I start to change my body into a form that will hopefully be the best suited for the upcoming battle. First I condense my body to make me the smallest target as possible. I then turn my whole fingers into claws and produce spikes from my elbows and knees. I make the normal bone spike in my forearm so that it will spray acid. Producing black hair I braid it over my body to form an amour. Finally, I make a crossbow made from keratin and bone. With a smile on my face, I point the crossbow at the robe lady and fire. [Let the fun begin.]
The bolt made from bone goes through her temple and she dies instantly. The carriage stops and the guards make a defensive perimeter facing outwards. [Hehe], I send another bolt through the man without armor as I sneak up behind the carriage driver. The guards look around in confusion as another of their ranks fall. “It came from behind us!” Well looks like spike back figured it out what a shame but I now I get to fight more, so not too much of a loss. As I approach the driver I put a clawed hand over his mouth and send the other hand through the base of his skull as I absorb my ‘battle form’ into his corpse. [Time to try a go at acting.]
Standing up I yell at the guards as I approach them “What are you shit stains doing? I paid good money for you and all you do is die and stand there looking like brain dead fish!” I approach the closest guard and rip his throat out. “What the fuck are you doing Jerry?” the other driver yells at me. I start to melt ‘Jerry's’ face and body as I return back to my battle form trying to scare the guards with psychological warfare I collapse as I scream as I play dead in a half-melted body. “The fuck? Jerry? are you ok? Jerry?!”
“You” the driver points at a random guard. “See if he has a pulse.”
“Yes sir” The guard walks over shaking as he approaches. When he is a step away I finish returning into my battle form minus the crossbow. I spring up from the floor as I send a clawed hand it to his chest, ripping his heart out I put in my mouth while laughing maniacally, only half of it is an act. The spike guard starts yelling orders at his other guards but I ignore him. [Four down, six to go.]

Then 'Mr spike back' turns his back to me. [Is he dumb? Or is this his power?]. Suddenly his feet come out from underneath him as he rockets towards me, back first. [What a fucking idiot.] Stepping to the side I bring out fluffy in a butcher knife form and line it up to where his neck will arrive. The genius ‘Mr spike back’ proceeds to decapitate himself with his own power. "Hahaha seriously? the fuck was that supposed to do?"
[Five down, five to go] I jump in the middle of the rest of the guards after putting fluffy away. Landing in the middle of the armored guards I take out the flame spike from my forearm and send a stream of fire at one of the guards engulfing him in flame. But then another guard bitch slaps me with his huge broadsword sending me tumbling away and in pain.
[Haha, excellent was getting bored.] “Be gone creature, go back from where you came!” Mr big sword who is most definitely compensating for something starts yelling at me. “So you want me to go back to your mum's bed? Bit of an odd request if you ask me but I will do my best to indulge you. Once I shit in your skull of course.”
“I will fucking kill you! You shall…”
“Can we skip the foreplay and just fuck already?” I interrupt him as he is about to go on a rant, which would waste my play time. His aura starts to leak out, a deep blue color. I launch myself at him as he prepares and gets into a fighting stance, but I sidestep at the last moment while sending a spray of acid at him. I hear him cry out in surprise when I attach the other three guards not wanting to get ganged up on while fighting the aura user.
One of the regular guards swings horizontally at me as I come towards them but I jump into the air while rotating. Landing in a handstand position on the guard's shoulders I notice a gap in his armor due to his chest piece being too big. So I did what any person would do, Vomit up excess fat and hair into the gap while setting it alight, cooking him from inside his own armor.
Pushing off with my hands I land behind the now screaming guard. Kicking the burning body to the other guard I rush him and jump up to head level [ Maybe going short was not such a good idea, I have to fucking jump at everyone.] sending the spike on my knee through his skull.
Jumping off to the side to avoid the now only normal guard's sword swing I get shot in the back with a crossbow. Spinning around on the balls of my feet I notice the remaining driver facing me while frantically loading another bolt. I fling my hand in his direction while sending my two throwing knives from my space ring into his chest.
As the driver goes down, my outstretched arm is removed from my body by Mr ‘big sword’. I roll to the side narrowly avoiding another swing while sending out a tentacle to collect my arm and space ring. Finishing my roll I jump away and landing in a crouched position as my arm is reformed with the space ring in place. “What are you?”
“Oh, you know just a regular person being forcefully applied to the position of a slave.”
“A slave?”
“Yup, what did you think they had the money to pay for 10 guards by selling dried food? Hahaha.”
“I didn't know they were slavers or they were going to make you into a slave. How about we put this behind us...?”
“And where would the fun be in that?”
“Fun?”
“Hahaha yeah, fun. Why do you think I didn't just run off into the forest? Speaking of which your last friend is going as we speak.” Saying this I send out a lasso made from hair that catches him around the neck, taking the feet out from under him as I pull him towards me. “Where are you going, mate?”
Mr big sword rushes at me his aura blazing “You are insane” he yells while slashing down at me. “Haha Thank you but complements won't get you anywhere.” Laughing I pull the guard in front of me creating a human shield. Mr ‘big sword’ really gave his all into the attack, it kills the guard and pushes me to the ground. “Hehe, I guess you weren't friends then but was killing your comrade really necessary? a little rude if you ask me” Saying this I send a tentacle in the base of the skull and take control of the corpse.
“I WILL KILL YOU!” Despite his words, he looks drained as he steps back.
“Promises, promises.” I make the corpse stand, take off its gloves and put Mr ‘big sword’ in a bear hug while fusing the hands together. Next I turned all the available body mass and nutrients into stomach acid as I stab through the corpse's stomach and into Mr ‘big sword’s’ armored body making the acid flow with my hand until a gap was made in the armor where I then ejected my bone spike and sprayed acid onto his body, effectively flooding the inside of his armor with acid.
I jump back a few times as I look at Mr ‘big sword’ “That was fun, I would say we should do it again sometime but I don't think that will be happening.”
“I will see you in hell you little shit.”
“Well I hope so, I plan on opening it for public use, no more paying a premium to get in.”
“Fucking psycho” With that my greatest opponent yet fell to the floor and died.
“Well, that was fun. Now loot.” Now out of the heat of battle I notice that the sludge inside of me was vibrating softly seemingly in content, like a purring cat.
"What the fuck is wrong with my body?"
