As the new two person team is traversing through the Angel Island forests, Brandon continues chaging further. The hair on his head turns a very bright white and the bristles of hair multiply as it becomes very fine, almost like fur and then it spreads all over his face and head even on top of his larger ears. The only place it doesn't cover is where the tan skin is covering.
Mary was no doubt confused about what was happening to her son. "Just what is he turning into?" she asks.
The shopkeeper just shrugs his shoulders. "I have no idea ma'am. Probably one of his favorite video game characters." he replies.
Mary returns her attention to the screen and notices that Brandon's head has gotten larger and is even bigger than his torso and she's almost about to faint. "He's almost looking like a cartoon character." she stammers.
Meanwhile Brandon and Knuckles continued their trek through the forest as thoughts about why he wanted to enter the temple began changing as what he was looking for was starting to no longer be a way home.
