Meanwhile, John tries to speak out to those outside the cage, but his vocal cords changed and now only emit faint growling and shrieking noises. New Alpha Skag armor grows over his shoulders, neck, and back, and his clothes become tattered. "This isn't supposed to happen to me! Why couldn't Frank or Steve have been bitten by that Wereskag?" John selfishly thought, as thick black claws grew from his fingers and toes, ripping his gloves and boots to pieces. The last stage of John's transformation is his skull, as it splits in half down the middle, and jagged tooth-like protrusions develop on the edges of his new face. The changes finally stop, and John tries to stand on his hind legs, but the height of the cage prevents him from doing so. The cage was about 6 feet tall, he was around that same height when standing on all fours, but had to crouch down a little to be comfortable, and he would probably stand at 10 feet tall if he stood on two legs. John makes an attempt to speak, now that the stresses of his transformation are over. "Ll... let... m-mee... OUT!!" His voice is now much deeper, rougher, and louder than before.
