This wasn't an easy thing to watch, even if Kendall never knew Collin personally. It almost felt like a bit too rough of a thing to do to him right now. At one point, he certainly was still a hero. Someone who Kendall did look up to at one point. This felt wrong, but there certainly was no other choice for the matter, huh. He needed to pay for his crimes against the Protectorate. Then, Decoy chimed in, and the situation got a lot more tense. Protean, the 'hero' who trained all the other Wards turned out to be a villain involved with the Community too. Who would've guessed? Still, he was another person that Kendall had minimal interaction with outside of basic training and admiration. This... wasn't shaping up to be the day that they thought it would be. And she was so excited for that hike, if it turned out to be a real thing. Forget about the hike, Kendall. You've got bigger fish to fry. The Community was attacking en masse, and if the Wards could take down at least one lieutenant of the gang, it would be a great thing indeed. Without a moment of hesitation after Alessa spoke, Kendall's figure turned black into amorphous tar and reshaped into a taller and more slender version of Kendall, a mask forming around their face as well. The oversized hoodie Kendall had on was now fitting their form a lot better, and everything about Kendall shifted into a more... monstrous... manner.
