Stiff plastic snapped warm! Both of our eyes blinked wide open into the dim morning light. We roared together, muscles surging to test this brand-new power. Right in front of us loomed a massive blue wall of bottled water. Without a second thought, we charged shoulder-first, slamming into the crinkling plastic wrap. It didn't budge, but the thick rustle vibrated right through our spiky claws. A deep, raspy chuckle escaped our throats—we are strong, and we are finally awake, hrrmph!
