“Silence in court! Today I did not fly all the way to be informed by the world. I am to inform you all about the new legislation put forth by high-ranked species,” the presiding judge reiterated

Captain Pain’s gang was around the block at the streets as spectators, holding three plastic bags full of money in position.

“Well someone had to lose, for one to win!” said Captain Pain.

Looking forth in the crowd with his gang, an individual rat in the forum attending behind them.

“Hey you bunch of flunkies,” rat mocked, they looked back at him inflamed.

Daisy replied furiously, “Which bunch of flunkies are you referring to?”

“What’s with the bags?” rat asked curiously. 

Captain Pain replied, “We can talk about it later douche!”

They left the courtyard as the judge proceeds.

“Anyone who violates the law will be killed and eaten up. Any dead animals could be eaten as you know life is still the same. No animal will be hunted or killed on sight, the prime species will provide for us.” the judge ruled.

The judge kept whining until his speech seemed unimaginative to animals as they initiated their conversations.

The judge resumed. 

“Laws that apply to all human beings!” there was a sudden silence among the animals. “All humans who loved animals will be given a second chance to be animal pets and slaves. Failing to do so may result in death-penalty hearing!” animals were pleased with the law.

“Humans who generally did not care about animals will be sent to jail for life in prison without parole,” the judge handed down the verdict and continued “…lastly as for those who killed animals for a living will do unto them, as they would have done unto us.”

The assemblage praised the eventual law as if they only came to hear it.

“I can only take a single question. Is there anyone who wishes to query?” Judge inquired. Aaro raised his ominous hand in the jury while the school celebrated supremacy over humans.

“Why were humans not brought into the court of justice to plead for themselves if they are going to be held accountable for such wrong-doing?” Aaro asked. The sombre eagle stood up and prepared itself for a flit as it gazed up the sky.

“Don’t let that fool you!” Judge talked back, he flicked his feathers against gravity.

In the middle of the crowd the beast himself courtly stepped into the court as his eyes transverse with the roach statue.

Humans in captivity were prisoners in stable scalded filthy buildings, birds were pleased to return a favour and guard the human as they pinned their foot with different wires to associate them.

The evil scientist in a form of a beast finally conquered the world. He architected numerous laboratories around the world with a primary purpose of manufacturing food, medication and latest advanced technology development for animals.

Brought forth merchandisers catered for non-humans, introducing suitable tools, vehicles and so forth. The animal had to adapt to be productive in the city environment. Same companies were built in a strong supportive glass structure for strictly marine life science business affairs as the Captain Pain’s gang glanced at the fishes’ employees from the street pavement with plastic bags at hand. Residential houses, streets, mall hade to be modernized for specific communities.

Humans that were given a second chance were sold in trading markets. Which was a starting point for most animals? Orderly moving in chained hands and arms near the street vendors shelters with price tags rated from R1000 around their necks. Dealers would announce the history of the human occupation before slavery.

“Former Meyvel High School principal sold for only fifteen thousand and give your kids better grades!” the dealer announced.

Such pay-off lines attracted even more consumers. Mr Beast’s three kids were bought by a fat snow owl male that drove them home with his van as they cluster at the back of the vehicle. When he reached home his snow owl’s wife called their snow owl daughter.

“Brandy ,quickly, your daddy has brought you something.” Snow owl wife shouted.

The male owl was chaining the human kids at the backyard, wrapping the chain on a tight beam to lock it up. With no intimidation, the kids frowned at the owl from a distance. The owl wife holding a box treats came out from the brick house with their kid holding fibres and excited. The male owl was embraced feathery by his chick near the door. The owl kid let go of his dad and went on to throw her fibre.

“Catch!” the owl kid yelled.

The fibre float to the humans and landed right next to their feet’s as they frowned at it.

“They don’t want to play with me.” the owl kid complained sadly, glaring at the human sadly.

The owl mother took out chocolates from her box and gave the owl kid to throw. The young one tossed it and Bruce dismissed his pride and caught it, the owl mother conveyed the box to her daughter who ran with it and the fibres at feathers to go play.

In the city humans were cleaning the streets, cars, laboratory windows, while others were trained for animal entertainment in zoo and public animal circus. Painted like clowns, strained to exploit jeopardous stunts like jumping fires, crashing cars, feast fighting. Humans at the back stage were bruised and limping.

In jail, Tom was locked up alone due to the tension given to him by the prisoners overcrowding their cells. Frequently they were provided with raw meat to eat, a dog guard throw him a hip bone flesh to eat. Tom asked while lying at the corner of his cell drowsy and starving.

“Can’t you cook it?” Tom asked.

“Will feed you whatever until you become wolfs! HA HA HA!” The dog guard replied irritatingly.

Dog guard turned away laughing with a rolling tray and throw meat to the next cell were everybody was still swearing at the guard from the bars.

The evil scientist recruited his undisputed creatures seeking for no vengeance.

He commenced the search with his three mice, Henry, George and Gavin at an abandon small town. They were eating a humongous hog in a shaded corner, the beast stopped maneuvering behind them and they stopped feeding to look back with fear. The dragon lizard Lindsey was enjoying the sunshine on the rocks of shoreline when the three mice nearby master wheezed a whistle for her. The two jackals Matt and Scott were in the forests battling to clean up a bone of a decomposing carcase.

“Can we join?” Lindsey asked.

The jackals raised their heads fourth and immediately knew what was going on at that moment. Standing in the mountains near the river fall is the fish eagle; Gary came from nowhere and floats his winds across the sky towards them in an open field which had their master smiling. In the midst of savannah hot plain, shrubs that were once called home by many primate are now ran over like grass as the chimpanzees chase one another in a sunny day that turned into an unpredicted weather as Fred and Robert sent goodbyes to their family who rained the surface with their tear drops.

The four king cobras: Andrew, Andre, Adam and Andrez have been located in a mountain cave where the master waited patiently outside with his troops for the snacks to come out.

Then finally found the big brown bear Gibeon on open grassland surrounded by woodland. Pulling a fifteen feet tall elk by its antlers in lazy motion the big brown bear shortly stationed himself halfway. From the forests the beast entered his territory with his head held up and stood by him.

“And from now on I’m your Master!” Dr Ferguson informed.

Ken and his squad of seven including his brother Blade, discovered a very huge abounded area above the clouds with numerous castles rate to be 150 000 thousand years exhausted. They buried TIA jet on the mystical hunted surface and chose the highest castle to bury their minds.

A direct sunlight painted a wonderful wonderland everlasting with sensational soothing sounds of the seven seas. Ken took pleasure in enjoying the atmospheric arcadia blossom breeze completely comforting his nerves.

Blade questioned “Ken how are going to move out the prisoners from Eden to Porto without stopping until sunrise if we go there now?” holding a map copy against an ancient lectern.

“By throwing away the map and start drawing ours,” Ken explained. He continued gazing upon the far regions as his troops bowed out their heads. An individual agent ran to Ken as he turned upon his arrival.

“Boss we heard same breaking news far from the north that there was a human who was reported to have changed into a large bird! No animal saw the human again after he evolved and flee.” TIA agent informed. Ken bent his view to the Westside.

“Then send the message to the whole world!” said Ken. The agent looked delusional, something that agitated Ken.

“I meant the humans, this war has just begun!” said Ken, staring at his inelegant agent rushing to inform their animal messengers on standby.

Aaro stopped over his friend Tom and hail his name over fanlight bars. Tom was troubled by a stomach-bug, trembling in sweat. The prisoners went violent inside the cells as guards tried to warn them to remain silent, but the humans were too ape, kicking and fighting inside the cells, grabbing the gates as they tried to severance them.

At the streets humans went preposterous in flaming evil stare, turned everything at their path upside down. Animal law officers tried restraining them, which only infuriated humans aggravatingly shaking their heads shedding bloody tires.

Humans eventually evolved! Clothes ripped apart from the growing muscles, gained much more black hair like primates, mount to fifteen feet top of the ground. Animals were stunned at the turn of events as humans branched out wings. Tom was evolving when two dog guards tried to arrest him but toned them away with his astounding physique to develop immaculate feathers from torn clothes.

Throughout the entire transformation he had a black griffin’s tail playing around his back. The guards who had come to back up the staff did not want to get involved with the growling beast. The prisoners managed to break free while others were still evolving, started beating up guards as they departure outside to plunge into cars and spread their wings.

While vehicles got burnt, endearing birds flow in to tell humans about the recent empyrean. At the community town the owl mother is watching the news to see the revolution of evolution. She heard her daughter scream then ran outside to witness the three human kids who had already evolved out from their captive chains. Human Brandy was drifting her snow owl daughter in the air by hand while standing stationary.

“She does not want to play with us!” said Brandy, looking at her two brothers laughing along, she turned towards the chick’s mother and tossed owl Brandy at.

“Now you catch!” said Brandy smiling at the irresolute mother.

Mr Beast’s former dog Jimmy was passing by their house with his swaged-up buddies driving a car that looks like Mr Beast’s family while playing rap music. From Mr Beast front yard house without a gate anymore, the astonished dog seating at the back seat saw a huge Mr Beast breaking throughout his apartment window wall running towards them, and quickly from the left side punched the lights out from Jimmy at the passenger side who was engaged in a hype conversation. Mr Beast feast broke the front window while the car was in motion; he then pulled out the door as they speed off with an unconscious driver sticking his tongue out.

“Jimmy wake up man. You know I can’t drive!” says David poking Jimmy in an attempt to wake him.

The two in the back where sobbing around, looking behind at the human with wings holding the door looking back at them.

Bolt cuts in, “You just keep Jimmy’s foot on the accelerator!” as the one who saw Mr Beast first cried out.

Mr Beast flew up the sky and the dogs could not see him anymore from the back window

“Where did he go?” asked Bolt.

David responded confused, “What do you mean where he went man?”

At the back seat they lurched against each other’s head when they saw a passenger door falling from above to land at the initial point Mr beast was.

“What’s going on dogs?” David asked.

Bolt responded, “You just keep driving!”

Mr Beast landed on top of the engine as the vehicle wrack up with extreme impact and pumped out gas. He stood opposed and curl embrace upon the sky as his kind emigrated to the northern cosmos. Human across roads took off as thousand birds declining the city from the burning star. Among decisive constitutions lays the legends.

“All along they were changing.” Dr Ferguson said startled.

In life even words are mortals that may become defeasance past one’s prime. Gabriel who had not transformed yet, stood from the laboratory edge with her bag. She tried to connect one more time with the external beast known to be his father drawn to the life-time migration. He perceived the growling Gibeon opposed him, took a glance backwards to be startled.

Gabriel winked at him as she deliberately fell off the cliff down the sky.

Ember and Kate caught her arms and flew away. Speak of the roach and the man among the city.

“So what now?” asked Aaro

At the peak Tom stationary spread his wings across the moon light while joined by a roach shadow.

Tom replied, “We end this.”

They flew past burnt burning buildings beneath the sleeping sky to be forgotten in the heavens.
