The vicious 6 have recently turned into their zodiac beast forms Belle bottom was an eastern dragon, Stronghold was an Ox/Bull, Svengeance was a Tiger, Nun-Chuck was a snake, and Jean-Clawed was a monkey. They were apparently cursed to become zodiac beasts and are able to shift between their human and zodiac best forms at any time. The vicious 6 had this curse for about a while and you know about it.You were a close friend of them as you were in the city.
