Tao knew transformations. He'd seen enough in the Union and out of it, even if he'd never experienced it himself.
He'd never seen one like what M-21 had just gone through.
M-21's screams still echoed inside his head, the sickening crack of bones breaking and just hearing everything inside him reforming.
There hadn't been anything he or Takeo could do to stop it and Tao swallowed, gazing up at the deep red dragon looming over him and Takeo. With a long neck, a leathery frill tipped with spikes around the head, and a wingspan that had to be more than three times as long as M-21 was tall (if he had enough space to stretch them out), he looked like a Western dragon.
M-21's roar had faded to nothing but he stood there, swaying a little, and this had happened before. The last time M-21 had achieved a new level in his transformation, he'd attacked anything that moved, and that time he hadn't had his body ripped apart by the transformation.
M-21 snarled and launched himself at them, jaw wide open and revealing glistening fangs.
Tao and Takeo leapt out of the way and there was a screech of metal as M-21 slammed into the wall. Tao span around and sucked in a breath at the dent M-21 had left. That...wasn't a good sign. He'd seen Seira-yang attack that with Death Scythe and had only left a small scratch.
"Heeey," Tao said, and M-21 snapped his attention onto him, roaring. The room's size made the noise reverberate in Tao's chest, squeeze at his head and he almost didn't dodge in time.
Could they hold out until the transformation reverted? Would it revert?
M-21 didn't charge again but had reared his head up, his jaw open and oh shit. Tao could see something glowing at the back of his throat and even if he or Takeo wasn't hit, they still needed air to breathe.
M-21 froze, flames licking at the edges of his snout before fizzling out.
M-21 stayed like that for two seconds, just breathing in and out, then crumpled.
Tao and Takeo were there to catch his head before it smashed into the ground. Tao winced, hearing M-21 transforming back, but at least this time he wasn't conscious while it happened.
"Tak-"
"Going."
Tao held M-21's head as he shuddered through the transformation and Tao heard running footsteps towards them as soon as Takeo opened the door. Good. Hadn't needed to fetch the others.
The others were talking but Tao's ears kept zeroing onto shifting bone and M-21's heartbeat. Too fast, in overdrive and staying there, but not giving out.
Not yet, and it shouldn't. Shouldn't.
The transformation back didn't take as long but M-21's skin was a furnace, almost too hot to touch. His muscles wouldn't stop twitching either. His heart was still beating though. That was the important thing.
And the first thing they were going to do was get M-21 to Boss' main lab to make sure he was okay and he stayed that way.

I was originally going to have Rai step in and Stop M-21, but M-21 burned out too fast.
Not sure if there'll be a third part, hm.
