Adventures of Hollow the dog and Rage the cat
No one is quite sure how the pair came to be. A genetically altered alley cat with an explosive attitude and a ninja dog said to have trained under Ace the Bat-Hound himself, perhaps no one will ever know why these to stuck together, perhaps it was the fact the two both were odd in fur coloring, maybe they have more in common than we will ever know. Hollow is canine, whose coat is black at first glance, but catch him in the sunlight and you will see the blue undertone that in the right light, could create the illusion of an illumining mist around the Great Dane canine mix. His coat was highlighted by his lapis blue eyes, which held a clarity unseen in most. Rage on the other hand, was red, a crimson coat that made many think he had been dropped in a bin of extremely expensive hair dye that had never came out. When the sun hit him it almost appeared as if flames sparked around him.
"Hey Hollow, hey Hollow, hey Hollow, are you asleep, why are you asleep, wake up. Dude you need to wake up, dude, wake up. Damn it you stupid ninja dog, wake the fuck up and come see what I found." The red tabby bounced around the Great Dane mix with a energy that seemed never ending. The ninja dog had been perfectly content to nap under a tree in Gotham's park but his companion had found something that the cat seemed to think warranted his attention. With a huff of annoyance, the dog opened it eyes flicking his sharp ears in irritation and growling to make his annoyance more evident.
"What is it this time" mumbled the dog as he stood on all fours to shake stray pieces of grass from his fur. Rage's own oranges brown eyes were sparkling with excitement and mischievous cat bounded a few meters away shouting back. "In the alley I found something really cool" Hollow watched as Rage turned the corner, he was secretly curious about what the cat had found, however he would never let Rage know, for encouraging the sly little mammal would only lead to trouble. Instead off napping for however long it would take for the cat to realize that his dog friend was not following him, he saved the duo the trouble and tracked his scent into the alley.
"What the hell?" Rage had led Hollow into a tunnel at the back of one of the alleys; they had traveled a good two hours at a down angle, and had finally hit a large cave, so tall It could fit a skyscraper. Indeed something equally as impressive lay inside, a giant multicolored stone dragon stood in the center. "I know right, so I was wondering along minding my own business, got hungry for some fish right? You know and this nice man was just …um giving them away so I took one. I guess he changed his mind because he started chasing me, when I was running I stumbled onto this, hid in here, and just kind of kept going" Hollow had been to shocked at what he was seeing to even cut off the cats tangent. He gave a wolfish smirk though as he quickly decoded what had actually happened for him to find it. "So In shorter words, you hid in the tunnel when you got caught stealing and found this" Rage hissed rolling his eyes. "I don't steal"
Rage padded over to the other side of the statue, he looked up at the dragon and on the back of its neck there was a sign to far away to read. However there were several conveniently placed ledges so he hopped up to it and got on the great stone dragons back. "Hey Hollow come look at this, there's a sign" Hollow followed the cat. "It says Creation made by Curaxu" the ninja dog read aloud. Rage tilted his head, ears leaning to the side. "Huh, I wonder who that is". They made their way back down but as they started to make their way down when suddenly the two heard a click. Looking beneath his feet Rage saw a plate that had been pressed. "Rage whatever you do don't move" the ninja dog stated urgently. The plate clearly triggered something but what. Rage nervously looked around unsure of what he had just gotten the two into this time.
Hollow quickly found near him more signs, "Step on the plate for…" the dog trailed off. "For what, for fish, for death for what" shouted rage. Hollow growled in frustration, "I don't know the last sign is missing" by the time the two were speaking, rage felt a tickle in his nose. "Ah, ah, ah…." The alley cat sniffed as the beginning on a sneeze. " Rage don't you dare sneeze right now" Hollow warned eyes wide. "I can't..Ah…stop…it…AHCHOOO" the sneeze was no ordinary sneeze just like Hollow was a ninja dog with unnatural speed and agility, Rage also had his own abilities. He had been genetically combined with a mysterious heat and fire containing stone, had abilities with the fire. Not always completely controllable the tabby's sneezes were often …explosive. A stream of smoke shot out of his nose as he was propelled into Hollow, they were both knocked into a hole that opened in the floor.
