Failed Transformation

Inside that mental space, Jack felt a surge of power unlike anything he had ever experienced. Though he was focusing on the mental space, the changes occurring to his body were so overwhelming that he was forced to open his eyes. 

That exoskeleton armor remained across Jack's back and torso, but feathers began to sprout as Jack's arms grew longer to form wings while maintaining those insectoid claws jutting from the ends of Jack's wings. His deathly jaws didn't change, but his eyes became draconic and mimicked the Minokawas. As Jack's body was finishing taking shape, red-hot flames started to gather around his new form.

Witnessing Jack's transformations back to back was awe-inspiring to the men at the entrance.
