This time Jake was going to do it right, he got rid of any save files that could interrupt his time as a lizard, he needed this, being a lizard was way better than being human so Jake made the changes permanent and irreversible.
He worked on Zak first, getting his memories and knowledge back from his previous adventure, then added a few more skills that would prove useful in such a wild world.
And then he decided that he should not remember that he was ever a human, he wanted to feel 100% lizard so he modified his memories to forget his life as human, then he made himself more childish but still intelligent, so he could have genuine fun with Zak every day.
But then he thought about the predators, and added that they will be so fast that is impossible for any predator to catch them, and finally he removed the normal aging of their bodies and minds, so they could be Childish Lizards for the rest of eternity.
A few warnings appeared on screen, noticing that he is committing to a permanent change, giving him his last chance to back off. But Jake was determined, and so he clicked on the – I Agree – button.
Immediately he felt the same transformation tingle over his body and rushed to the mirror to take a look at his human body for the last time. Well… his gator snout and tail weren’t exactly his, but it won’t matter from now on.
Jake felt his feet readjusting, the toes expanding to resemble the lizard bone structure, feeling the little claws growing on them and the small and soft scales appearing and spreading fast. “These are way more useful than those human feet” he thought while stretching his toes.
The changes were creeping up and his legs were reshaping as well, changing to a quadrupedal stance, as his whole body started shrinking simultaneously, he had to lean to the mirror but as he did his hands started changing to resemble his lizard feet.
He was half his size now, leaning against the mirror as his waist forces him to go all fours again, then the feeling of his tail adjusting to resemble a lizard’s instead of a crocodile’s. he flicked his tongue in a natural way as he did many times before, his torso now entirely covered in the small scales gave up and he finally was on all fours on the floor.
“From now on, I’m a lizard” He thought, but weirdly enough he found that wrong, he has always been a lizard right? As his body kept shrinking so did his brain, quickly readjusting to lizard size and forgetting the human memories that were still in there.
Jake the lizard, looked around confused, as his eyes went black as the night and his whole head flattens, the world seems to get bigger and bigger, he was now barely a few inches long but he kept shrinking and shrinking.
Then, he didn’t even remember what was he doing there, he flicked his tongue and ran under some cover, he was fast as heck and he really liked that, his body felt lighter than usual…
The lizard now smiled happy, everything was so big and there was so much to explore, he quickly climbed up to the window and was marveled by the sight of the garden, now an entire grassland for him to enjoy.
Then he sensed something coming, just to notice Zak slowly getting closer, so he jumped over him before Zak did and they rolled over the window’s frame, Jake landing on top of Zak, flickering his tongue with joy. “Thought I could scare ya!” “Nuh-huh, you know very well I’m way faster than you” The lizards wrapped the tails together as they did many times just for fun, then Zak flicked his tongue touching Jake’s snout and then running down the wall.
“Bet you can’t catch me”
