The Transformation of Roxy

The room was quiet, tension barely simmering beneath the surface until Roxy stormed in like a whirlwind.

“Oi, X! Move it, will ya? You’re slower than a snail today!” she snapped sharply, her British accent cutting through the stillness.

X flinched, his eyes wide and uncertain. He stared at her, confused. “I… I don’t know you,” he said softly, backing up a step.

Roxy’s grin didn’t falter. “Doesn’t matter. You’re in my way.” She poked at his shoulder, pushing him gently but firmly.

Before X could respond, Two swaggered in from the side, a sly smirk plastered across his face. “Careful with her, love,” he said with a mocking tone, deliberately misgendering X. “She’s a bit delicate, that one.” His eyes gleamed as he added under his breath, “Silly symbol.”

X’s gaze darted between the two, overwhelmed and visibly nervous. “Please… I don’t want trouble,” he muttered.

Roxy rolled her eyes, annoyed by Two’s interference. “Oi! Hands off, Two!” she growled, shoving him away.

Two shoved back without hesitation, a cruel smile spreading. “Or what?” he taunted. The two immediately squared off, voices rising as their quarrel escalated.

Suddenly, Roxy’s expression twisted in pain. She gasped sharply, clutching her right hand. “What the?”

Her ring and middle fingers vanished, replaced instantly by long, sharp claws that shimmered with a strange blue glow Picton Blue.

The glowing color spread rapidly, crawling up her arms in radiant waves until her entire upper limbs were bathed in the shimmering hue.

Her legs followed suit, glowing with the same Picton Blue. The air around her shimmered as her body began to twist, reshaping itself.

The Picton Blue shifted to a lighter, vibrant Curious Blue as her form morphed and reformed.

With a sudden, piercing screech raw and powerful the transformation completed.

Where Roxy had stood was now Four: tall, calm, and glowing with the radiant Curious Blue. His eyes opened wide, shining with a strange intensity that none had seen before.

The room fell into a stunned silence.

Two smirked, sensing the sudden shift in power and took his chance to push X around more, continuing to misgender him. “Careful, she might break if you’re too rough, silly symbol,” he sneered, elbowing X hard.

X flinched, eyes watering as he shrank under Two’s bullying. His loyalty to Four was evident, but fear and confusion clouded his face.

Four’s expression darkened. Though his voice was calm, it held a low, threatening edge. “Leave him alone, Two.”

Two laughed, clearly enjoying the provocation. “Or what? You’ll screech at me?”

Four’s body shimmered with that intense Curious Blue glow. Without hesitation, he moved with swift precision, striking Two down before he could retaliate.

Two fell silent, the fight crushed before it even fully began.

The tension in the room evaporated, replaced by a fragile calm.

Four turned slowly to X, his eyes softening. “Are you alright?”

X nodded shakily, still visibly shaken but safe now.

Four crouched down beside him, protective and watchful. “You’re not alone anymore.”

X looked up at Four, a faint flicker of trust in his eyes.

Though Roxy was lost to the transformation, Four had risen calm, fierce, and protective.

X found safety in this new ally, and peace, fragile but real, settled over the group.
