We were just kids... We didn't deserve this burden.
How it all began...
In the year 2056, Japanese Scientists began the early stages of developing human-animal technology that would allow consumers to change their appearance to be more animal-like for fashion trends and social status.
When the American Government got wind of the experiment, they wanted it for themselves. They stole the research, killed the scientists involved and set their laboratory aflame. Soon, they would develop the research far beyond what the Japanese had even imagined. Except, the Americans didn't want it for recreational use like the Japanese... they wanted to create an army of super soldiers that could take over the world.
They perfected the experiment and invented chairs that were capable of altering a humans DNA to have the ability to morph between human and animal form at will. They were ready to test it, and their prime candidates to survive the procedure were teenagers.
Eleven unsuspecting high school students became their first batch of subjects. Ten of them survived...
When the Japanese discovered who had stolen their research, they bombed the lab in which the experiment took place, destroying all evidence and research relating to the project... or so they thought.
The ten original Animorphers have been trying to get a grasp on their new lives, while trying to stay out of clutches of the Japanese who want to kill them and hold onto any thread of normalcy they can. The experiment was destroyed, but the burden that was given to them remains.
More People Know About Them Than They Think...
A rebel group by the name of The Protectorate has vowed to protect them, recognizing that these teens were unwillingly a part of the experiment. They believe they deserve better, and that if the government were to succeed with their army, it could mean the destruction of mankind.
The Japanese want to clean up their mess and destroy any evidence of the experiment... including the Animorphers themselves.
The American Government lost track of the Animorphers after the bombing and have been trying to find them ever since. Why? Because the Animorphers are valuable to them and they want to protect them at all costs. They recognize that the experiment was a mistake and just wants to make things right, with no intention of recreating the experiment... or so they were told.
Now, after everything...
Knowing that the experiment was destroyed, the Animorphers are trying to put it behind them. But when they stumble onto the knowledge that the American Government has another lab where they have recreated the experiment, the Animorphers work with The Protectorate to destroy the experiment once and for all, before they ruin any other kids lives or actually succeed in creating an army.
But they're too late.
Animorphers 2.0....
Their plan to destroy the lab is going according to plan... until they find a new set of test subjects being kept there, and this time, they're barely teenagers. The Animorphers risk everything to rescue them, and once they succeed, they learn that these kids are not only orphans, but have already gone through the procedure. It's only a matter of time before they too, acquire the ability to morph into animals.
I trust them, I trust them not...
With the government having betrayed them, the Japanese still on their tails, and a new set of Animorphers they must mentor and protect, the weight on their shoulders has never been heavier.
And though The Protectorate has been helpful thus far, something about them seems off, and their intensions may be more sinister than they seem.
Time is running out, and with no one to trust but each other, they must do everything they can to stay alive, keep the government from creating the experiment again, and with any luck, find their way home.
Bottom Line:
3-6 orphans around the ages of 11 to 14 find themselves taken in by the government and are unknowingly experimented on and given the ability to turn into animals. Just after the experiment, the new subjects are rescued by a group of teenagers--the original Animorphers, and taken under the wing of The Protectorate. A couple days after their rescue, they start coming down with weird symptoms, until one by one, they begin to have the ability to morph into an animal. There is one specific animal they can morph into, and every kid gets a different animal. Some may be able to control it, some may not. And whether the original Animorphers like it or not, they have become the new Animorphers mentors.

Rules:
Light language is okay, but limit F-words please.
Romance is fine, just not too graphic.
No killing off characters without permission.
You may have up to two characters.
Characters should be between eleven and fourteen.
There can only be one of each animal. One house cat and one tiger is fine, just not two house cats. A dog and a coyote is fine, even two different kinds of birds are fine. Just not the exact same animal.
Try to post at least once every two weeks.
I'm not super concerned about god modding... just discuss it on the DT first!

End Note:
This is the second SB in the Animorphers story. You did not need to be a part of the original SB to participate in this one. We're looking forward to bringing new people into this world and we'll be sure to catch you up on anything important that wasn't mentioned in this main post. There is more info in the DT, so check that out if you're interested!
The original Animorphers storybook was voted best SB of 2015 and tied for best SB of 2016. It's also one of only a handful of SBs that have ever officially been completed, out of over 5000!
