Male Coyote it is. Let's get some backstory in here. You weren't always a giant but rather it was a gradual build up.
Roughly a month before the rampage...
You were woken up again by the coughs in the next room over. Sounds like your roommates were awake again. It didn't bother you at all, you knew the younger of the two was always sick, she was born that way. You walked over to the door and decided to check on them like you always did when you heard them awake. You knock at their door and wait.
It creaks open and standing with a tired expression plastered to his face was your best friend since childhood. He was lion with a blue mane and significantly well built. "How's..." you began.
"It's just her cough again." He responds as he rubs his tired eyes. The lion looks back to see his sister had fallen asleep once again. He steps out into the hallway with you and shakes his head as he closes the door. "Darean, you know we can't keep going like this. Without proper medical care, Lissa's only going to get worse."
You gently pat your friend's shoulder. "Korumu, you need to relax. I got something tomorrow, might just pay off. If I'm accepted, we get fifty grand for just getting accepted. And if everything goes well, another fifty grand when everything's done." You say trying to put your friend at ease.
The next morning you had left early to the research lab. The doctor was reviewing your application as his nurse gave you a physical. "Male coyote, about a C for his muscle index. Teeth in excellent shape. Fur color is sandy brown with silver on his head. Starting weight is one twenty-five (125) pounds, starting height is five feet five inches (5'05")." The nurses said as she finished your physical.
The doctor turned to you and set your application to the side. "Physically you're average. Which is just what we were looking for." He explains. He gestures to the nurse. "Make sure his check is ready after this appointment." She nods before leaving the room. You look at the doctor and wait. "Mister Darean, you've read the testing guidelines and what all we will be doing to you, correct?"
"Yes." You reply. With that you see the doctor pull out a bag and withdraw a syringe. He finds a vien and pokes the needle in before emptying the contents into your vien. You wince as he withdraws the needle and patches up your arm.
You leave the office and pick up your check. Over the next few weeks you returned to the office for regular check ups and saw other creatures. Many were larger than you.
One day before the rampage...
You were sitting at the dinner table with Korumu and his younger sister, Lissa. The three of you were having your once a week "family dinner", tonight was chicken and dumplings. You noticed Lissa kept staring at you.
"Something wrong, Lissa?" You asked worried.
"You've gotten taller, like way taller." She comments as she looks away.
Korumu looks you over. "And you've bulked up. Side effects of whatever that application was for?" He asks concerned about your wellbeing.
"Doctor was saying he was testing a new drug that would help increase mass and hopefully help with patients that have lost mass due to medical complications." You replied.
Day of the rampage...
You and Lissa had gone out for a walk while Korumu was at work. The two of you stopped at a park bench for her to rest. You smiled as she had been showing signs of health improvement since you used the money you were getting to pay for treatments for her. In the distance the two of heard the sounds on gunfire and buildings being destroyed.
Lissa flinched, burying her face into your shirt. You held her close but raised an eyebrow as you glanced down. She felt smaller. No. You were experiencing a rapid and sudden growth. Wincing slightly, you pulled away from her not wanting to accidentally crush her. Other folks in the park were pointing and screaming as your size shot up.
"Darean?!" Lissa was taken back as you grew.
You let out a slight growl as your body grew to an impressive size. When you finally stopped growing, you were a colossal sixty feet in height. Your ears twitched as you looked around, you spotted Lissa near your left foot, she was shaking in fear. "Lissa? Hey, it's ok." You say softly as you gently reach down.
You gently pick her up in your padded left paw and brought her up to eye level. She was still shaking, more so in surprise now than fear. "Darean, what's happened?" She asked as she sat on your palm.
Shaking your head, you thought for a moment. "Probably that serum they were testing." As you finish, you felt a sudden pain in your left thigh causing you let out a howl. Glancing to look you see bullets being shot at you. While they didn't cause any harm, they cause irritation. You heard the officers reporting "another one being lose".
You carefully close your hand around Lissa before running off. Unfortunately you ran right into the downtown district of the city. All around was destruction as other giant furries and scalies were destroying everything. You recognized them from the appointments.
You look around finding an out of the way alleyway. Careful you set Lissa down. "Stay here and stay safe. If something happens, yell out for me." You explain.
"What're you---" she begins.
"There's people who need help. Someone's gotta help." You interrupt before running off.
