As soon as he saw the Chimaera dash by with a slab of meat in its mouth, Semesa immediately took to the stage. Wearing Fijan clothing, the muscular man walked in silence toward the cannon. He knew what needed to be done.
Feet stepped onto a platform and he carefully stuffed himself inside the tight confines of the cannon. It was by no means a comfortable fit. Regardless, he was able to stick a hand out and wave, seemingly out to the audience but it was a sign he was ready to carry on with the act.
A drumroll sounded...
The cannon was lit...
BOOM!
The Dukuwaqa shot out of the cannon with great speed, a puff of smoke following after him, up high toward the top of the tent, just barely nicking the ceiling. He made a series of grandiose flips as his body began to descend.
Slowly but surely, Semesa's body began to transform. It started first with a large dorsal fin producing out of his human back, then his mouth began to stretch and grow razor sharp teeth, followed by legs and feet joining together to make a caudal fin. As his skin changed colours and body grew larger and larger, his arms shifted into pectoral fins and gills appeared.
With the transformation complete and his target nearing, the Dukuwaqa dove nostril first into the clear tank of water.
SPLASH!
The striking impact the creature made caused a fair amount of water to fly out of the tank and scatter, giving those seated in the first few rows an unplanned shower.
As Semesa swam around in his preferred form, wet-start, no-heat fireworks suddenly set off and showered the inside of the tent and music began to play.
