Everyone looked up at Xephos, who stood with his arms folded looking at Ridge. He noticed everyone looking at him and looked around at them.
"Are you sure...?" Turps asked.

"Of course I'm s-"

"No. Xephos I am not letting you do this!" Honeydew said. Everyone now looked at him as he looked angrily up at the spaceman. Xephos looked into his eyes like usual. "And don't give me that look! Do you not remember every single time you've been I'll or sick and that's only over the past month! And do you not remember a month ago when you hadn't woken up for ages and we thought you were dead?! I'm not letting you put yourself in danger again!" He shouted. The spaceman blinked and then patted the dwarf on the shoulder.

"I'll be fine friend. I'm a lot stronger than you think I am." He turned back to Ridge and nodded. The reaper folded his arms and walked through the crows of people.

"Well then, there's no time to waste."

------------

Xephos had agreed to let the reaper use some of the Yoglabs technology to do the process, and had set it up in a small room in the sprawling complex. Ridge and Turps were the only ones allowed in for the time being. And Honeydew sat on a chair just outside the day, waiting patiently for his idiot of a friend to get turned into a beast. He didn't notice someone sit next to him until she started talking.

"Hopefully he'll be alright." Lomadia said, nervously playing with a tassel of her blonde hair. The dwarf looked to her.

"He is strong. But... I don't know if he's this strong." He stated, looking back down again. "I wish for once he could think something through before he does it..."

Lomadia agreed and sat back in her chair. "It's my fault. If I'd have helped Turps with that bat instead of laughing then it wouldn't have bitten him."

Honeydew turned to her and sighed. "Lomadia, nothing is your fault. Just like it isn't Turps fault, he didn't know it was a vampire bat. And it isn't Xephos' fault... He's just trying to be a good person... He doesn't realise what might happen."

Lomadia nodded.

------------

Xephos sat down and looked across at Turps as Ridge set up some wires and grabbed some more things. He strapped Xephos' arms down, and tied a piece of cloth around the top of his arm, before walking over to Turps and tying another piece around the top of his arm. He then pulled out two thin needle like tubes and stuck some stuff over it before putting it slowly into Turps arm.

"Ow!" The man said and Xephos fave a small smirk. But then it was his turn and he cursed in his head. Ridge came over and did the same, he groaned slightly but took the pain. Ridge walked over to the machine, grabbing two thin rubber tubes and connecting them from the machine to the needles. He then went back to the machine and grabbed two strange circular and small patches of cloth and put them on the spaceman's temples before doing the same to Turps. He then did one last thing, which was to grab a mouth guard from next to the machine and walk over to Xephos. The spaceman raised an eyebrow to the reaper.

"Well we don't want you biting off your own tongue do we? That would get the vampire hungry."

Xephos reluctantly opened his mouth and felt the strange rubber going in. Trying to clamp his jaw down, he couldn't and his mouth started to ache.

"And we're ready to go..." Ridge stated. "Xephos..." The spaceman looked to him. "Are you sure you want to do this...? Because after this is done there's no turning back... We can't transfer it more than once..."

Xephos looked at him and gave a confident nod. The reaper nodded back and turned to the switch. Xephos looked forward, noticing Turps worried glances. The spaceman didn't mind what he was doing, after all it was to help a friend, a friend who at the moment looked really weak and tired. He thought about taking the mouth guard out and reassuring the man that he would be alright, but Ridge pulled the switch. He felt a jolt go through him and bit down on the mouth guard, clenching his eyes shut and digging his nails into the chair arms. OK, it hurt a little more than expected.

Then, he felt something else enter his head, something dark and insidious. He opened his eyes, looking up at the reaper as small shocks still protruded through his body.

The reaper looked at the spaceman's eyes, now a pitch black with a small bit of red on the outside. The spaceman continued to stare at him, and the blue began to wind its way slowly back, working itself from the centre of the iris and outwards. Good, he was managing to keep control over his body and suppress the vampire within him. Good. He gave it a few more minutes for the machine to stop and then untied Turps while the spaceman wearily stared forwards at them both. He was leaning forward slightly, his muscles tensed. He watched Ridge walk back over as Turps sat and watched him. He seemed a little nervous.

Xephos felt the restraints being untied and pulled the mouth guard out before moving his jaw around with his hand. It hurt, bit he'd survive.

Turps stood up, but instantly fell over passed out. The reaper sighed and put him back into his chair. He looked over to the spaceman, who still sat where he was. He walked past and opened the door, the dwarf and owl lover were about to walk in when there was a clattering. Honeydew pushed past Ridge to see that while trying to stand up the spaceman had fallen against the wall, knocking over a table that had held some glass. He went over and helped the spaceman stand up.

"He's going to be dizzy for a while." Ridge stated. Lomadia would you mind looking after Turps and getting him home while I teleport these two and Lalna back to the craggy islands?"

Lomadia nodded and walked to Turps.

"He'll be fine in a couple of days, but until then he's going to be a bit out of it."

She nodded again and pulled him up, putting his arm over her shoulders before walking to the door as the others disappeared.

------------

They helped the spaceman lay down in his bed.

"I've got work to do..." He stated and Honeydew slapped him. Ridge gave a look to the dwarf and he sighed.

"Look friend." The dwarf sat on the edge of his friends bed. "You won't be doing any work for a while. Like I said before, you need to rest for the time being. Now, you offered to do this, you agreed to do this even though I asked you not to. And it is your responsibility to fight this no matter how hard it gets. And that means staying rested, straying strong and keeping yourself smart. Alright?"

The spaceman gave a small nod.

"I'd hate to have to kill you if you didn't listen." The dwarf added and patted the spaceman on the shoulder before walking to the door, ushering the other two out as well.

He sighed, and closed his eyes as sleep overcame him.
