Wild Beast

Prologue: Beastly cry

It's year 2008. A young girl at a age of twelve sat inside a thick forest. Green leafs shuffled quietly on the branches because of the gentle breeze that went by. Around her, deer and rabbits silently moved around her, not wanting to disturb the unknown person.

The girl herself was actually pretty in many regards. Small, crystal blue eyes, shoulder long silver hair, cute little lips and slender round face. Her figure wasn't too slim nor too thick, just perfect. She didn't have much curves, obvious because of her age, but it's clear that she hasn't hit her growth spurt. She wore dark green t-shirt under a black leather jacket, dark blue jeans and combat boots, something you wouldn't expect a young lady to wear.

But she's not a simple young lady. This is Valier, or Vali, Lucifer, granddaughter of one of the most ruthless devils alive, Rizevim Livan Lucifer. And that isn't a good thing for her, considering she is now on run away from him. Why? Because she's a half blood, her mother being a human. Just a week ago she witnessed her father being murder by her grandpa in cold blood. Thankfully her mother wasn't around that time and got warning from her lover. But Rizevim noticed young Vali and chased after her.

Now, in human world, Valier hid in small forest, catching some breath before returning to her escape. Despite being a devil, she didn't have unlimited stamina, especially considering she's just a kid, so even she needed a break form time to time.

She took in another deep breath, trying to calm down. She won't just cry because her father died, she can't. She's a devil and devils never cry... But even despite that, sadness grew inside her heart, ready to burst out with a loud cry.

'Why? Why did it have to happen to me?' She asked herself over and over for the past few days, but obviously no answer came to her mind.

Just as she was about to move on, a loud screech came from behind her, as if some twisted howl of a beast. She turned around and her blood froze in fear. She met many monsters during walks with her father, but this... This was true terror in a way she couldn't describe.

(Cue: Amazons OST Disc 1/Track 03)

Simply put, it looked like a bat-man. It was tall, higher by almost two heads, body made from some weird metal-like skin that looked more like a weird battle suit than anything. It's head was even weirder, resembling weird armor helmet with bat wings on it's sides where ears normally would be. Speaking of wings, it had two longer than it's arms, which were black like a night and few holes here and there. What stood out the most about it was the armlet placed on it's left arm, which had blue glowing eyes.

Overall, with it's look alone, this wasn't something scary, especially for supernatural being like her, but what made it a terror personified was the aura. The amount of bloodthirst and killing intent it released... It would make any seasoned monster hunter shit their pants.

She paled and tried to slowly retreat from it, as the bat slowly approached the defendless child. "Food..." The beast said with deep, demonic-like voice, which sent more shivers down Vali's spine.

'T-this is h-how I'll die?' She asked herself in mind as she closed her eyes, hoping death will be quick and painless.

But just as her demise was about to come... "RAAAAAGH!" A loud roar echoed throughout the whole forest, making both her and the monster stop completely. Behind the bat another beast came, more terrifying than the previous one, but at the same... more tame.

Most eye-catching thing about it was that the newcomer was mostly green with some red lines here and there, red eyes, yellow chest and black areas around hands, legs and knees. On it's waist it had weird belt with red eye-like spots and two handles. It stood around her height, which was hard to see considering it was in a crouching position. It also had the same armlet as the bat in the same place.

At that moment Valier lost all hope. 'M-Mom...? D-Dad...?' She knew they weren't around, but she couldn't stop herself as she cried her eyes out in fear. This was even scarier than her grandpa throwing all those lethal spells at her.

The new monster looked at her and seemed to stare for a good two seconds before looking back at the bat and roaring more. The bat screeched back and they both charged at each other. First one to land a hit was the newcomer, sending his enemy at the nearby tree with a scratch. It then jumped at the bat, who managed to quickly recover and dodge, then send a punch at it's back, making the green thing hit the ground hard.

It quickly recovered and countered by kicking it's enemy into the stomach before getting back up. Taking no time, it pounced onto the bad and started to mercilessly beat it up until it delivered finishing blow by piercing through it and ripping off it's core, which was a weird ball with a redish glow.

The bat stopped moving and slowly melted into a poodle of black goo, while the green monster looked at Vali, who was silently watching the whole fight with wide eyes. She paled again when she saw it approaching her, but got confused when it fell on it's knees, the same goo covering it. 'Is it dying as well?' She asked herself in mind as she saw that the goo slowly revealed a... young boy.

(END SONG)

It was a small boy around her age with dark orange, neck long hair with bangs moved to the left side, revealing dark green eyes and pale skin complexion. His lips were small and slender, while his face was very girly for some reason.

His clothes consisted of what could basically be called hospital garments. Thankfully, he had some underwear under this, so no awkward scene would happen.

He held his stomach, trying to keep his balance. "D-do you... have s-some... m-meat...?" He asked weakly, obviously tired. She just now noticed some bruises on him and small cuts around his arms and where she could see his chest. She shock her head and looked around. "T-that r-rabbit... could you b-bring... i-it here?" She nodded lightly and caught a nearby rabbit, which struggled to get out of her grasp.

She slowly approached him, still wary of him. "H-here..." She extended her hand with the rabbit in it and the boy quickly grabbed the animal, startling Vali a bit. She jumped a bit backwards.

"S-Sorry! I'm really hungry..." He apologized with a weak smile, then frowned. "You s-should look away..." She wasn't sure about whether or not she should, but decided to comply.

Where she looking at the scene that then played out, she would have been even more terrified. The boy started by crushing the rabbit's head, then skinned it with his own hands, leaving lots of blood. When he was done, he ripped it's legs and ate the meat that was on it before moving to it's torso, eating everything including organs, excluding stomach, knowing it had acid in it. After he was done, he threw all of the leftovers away and used the fur to wipe himself of the blood.

When all was clean, he sighed with satisfaction. "Okay, you can look back." Vali nodded and turned to him, noticing that there wasn't any rabbit nearby.

"Did you eat it?" He nodded and she widened her eyes. "So quick!? D-did you eat it w-whole!?" He blinked at that question and after few seconds of tense silence, he laughed lightly.

The laugh stayed there for about fifteen seconds before he shock his head. "No, no, no. I don't have big enough stomach to hold it's whole body." He then sighed and looked at her face, adopting a slightly confused face. "What are you doing here? I haven't seen any normal human in this forest."

She wanted to ask what he meant by 'normal', but decided not to. "My name is Valier Lucifer. And who are you? Or what are you exactly?" He started to think for few seconds before looking at her with a goofy grin.

"I don't know."... That caught Vali off guard. She could understand if he didn't know what he is, but not knowing his name? "Why do you look weird at me?" He asked in confusion. That's when she noticed she was practically staring at him.

She blushed lightly and got super flustered, looking away. "S-sorry! B-but..." Her eyes slowly returned to him. "How come you don't know your own name?" He shrugged casually.

"I don't know. All I remember is waking up in this forest, wearing this belt and armlet." He said, showing her both his belt and his armlet. She looked at them with interest. "And why are you here?"

She looked down on the ground with sad eyes, remembering how her father died. "I-I... I don't want to talk about this..." She whispered silently, but he heard her perfectly.

"Alright... Hey, wanna get out of here?" She looked back at him and flinched in surprise, seeing his face right in front of her. How come he got to her so fast, considering he sat few meters away from her. "I wonder how world outside looks. I have been in here for I guess two weeks and I can't remember a thing about a world outside of here."

She again blinked. He didn't even remember how normal world looks like? She didn't even know what to say anymore. So she just nodded and got up slowly. "Alright... But you need a name." He straighten up and nodded.

He adopted a thinking pose, which made him look a bit a bit silly. Vali tried her best not laugh right at his face, which was really hard. "How about... Kemono?" Kemono? It sounded really nice. "I think it means beast in Japanese..." He knew what Japanese is but he didn't know his own name? What a weirdo...

She nodded with a small smile. "Alright... let's go." He nodded happily and they both walked forward.

(Cue: Amazons OST Disc 1/Track 04)

Two hours passed since the two met. They talked with each other and Kemono learned a lot about Vali... She, on the other hand learned not so much about her companion.

It surprised greatly the boy when he learned about all of the supernatural beings in the world and the fact that Vali is half devil herself. He also learned all she knew about the Great War, which was just a basic 'fight between devils, angels and fallen angels' explanation.

In return, Kemono told her everything he knew about himself and the monster he fought. It wasn't much, considering he knew only a little more than she did. What he told her is that he was the same thing as the bat thing in some way and that he feels urge to fight it for some reason. He also told her that this belt he wore allowed him to transform into a monster without losing control. Another thing is that he almost always have big hunger for meat. That was all he knew.

As they were going around, talking like this, they saw a middle-aged man with a goatee. His hair were brown with blonde bangs and he wore a business suit for some odd reason. When he spotted both of them, he adopted a confused expression.

"Hey kids, what are you doing here?" He asked them, making both of them tense up. But after Kemono felt his scent, somehow, he relaxed, which prompted Vali to do the same.

The girl sighed lightly. "We're lost..." She answered half-honestly. They were lost, but they knew where to generally go. The man eyed them, then shrugged. "What about you, mister?"

He smiled cheekily. "I'm looking for mushrooms. Why else would I go to the forest." Both kids eyed him suspiciously and after moment he sighed. "Alright, I'm looking for research material... Wait, why the hell am I excusing myself to some kids!?"

The sudden outburst of his made Vali flinch in fear. "Hey! Don't yell like that! You scared her!" Kemono yelled and went closer to him. "Now tell me, who the hell are you!?" Man looked at him and smirked.

"I like your attitude, kiddo. Just for that I'll introduce myself." He said and patted Kemono's head, which for some reason calmed him down. "My name is Azazel." This name held no meaning to Kemono, but Vali recognized it immediately.

She started to back off slowly. "A-Azazel... Leader o-of the fallen a-angels..." That caught Azazel's attention as he looked at her.

"How do you know me, kiddo?" He asked and tried to approach her, but was stopped by Kemono, who glared at him.

"Her name is Valier... And I'm Kemono." He introduced them while walking up to Vali, trying to calm her down. He won't let the first person he met to be scared.

Azazel thought for a bit and looked at them. "Valier and Kemono? Weird names... But considering you know who I am, then it's good to guess you're part of the supernatural world, correct?" Neither of them answered, Vali because she was too scared and Kemono because he tried to calm her down.

After moment Valier finally nodded. "Y-yes... I'm V-Valier L-Lucifer..." Azazel whistled at that discovery. A daughter of a Lucifer, but which one?

"Lucifer, huh? I wonder where are your parents." That was a bad topic he chose, because almost immediately Vali started to cry, angering Kemono even more. "Okay, I see something happen, I won't pry... Well then, how about you two would come with me?"

Kemono glared at him for a moment. "Why would we, teme? You made Valier cry..." He said, looking at the crying girl besides him.

He sighed lightly. "Because I'm your best option of quickly getting out of here. Besides, I think you would need some new clothes." Azazel pointed out, making the boy finally realize something: This whole time he was wearing nothing except a robe and some boxers. He widened his eyes and blushed slightly, then looked at Vali.

The girl was looking at the ground for solid twenty seconds before nodding. "A-alright... We'll come with you... Just please, don't kill us..." Azazel gave a heartful laugh at that, actually making the atmosphere less tense.

"Why would I kill two kids!?" He asked and motioned for them to approach, preparing teleportation spell. The slowly walked up to him and they got teleported.

(END SONG)

(Cue: Amazons OST Disc 1/Track 17)

When they arrived, Azazel immediately sent them to get new clothes. While initially Vali protested, she eventually gave in.

Valier got a white t-shirt with lilies pattern and a knee-long, black skirt, while Kemono got black jeans, black t-shirt and green blouse.

After that Azazel took them to eat something. Everyone there was surprised when suddenly Kemono started to devour everything that had proteins. After ten minutes, half of the table was already empty and Kemono sat on his chair with satisfied smile. Just then he noticed others, who were sweatdropping. "Sorry, I was a little hungry... Hehe..." He smiled sheepishly and scratched back of his head.

They shock their heads and sat down as well. "Kemono..." Azazel started to the boy, who turned to their host. "Can you tell me what this is?" He showed him a small vial of a colorless liquid. He got it from one of the servants that took care of Kemono's old garbs. There were a total of five vials in it.

The boy looked closely and after a moment he made a face as if he remembered something. He then pressed a armlet, which opened the 'nose'. Inside it was another vial, but it was almost empty. Kemono took the vial from Azazel's hand and changed it with the old one.

After closing the container, he looked at the man. "That's my meds. They help me stay in control." Everyone heard that and looked at him in confusion.

Azazel was the first to voice everyone's thoughts. "In control of what?" Boy just smiled and raised his hand. Suddenly great heat came from it, one that could be felt in sauna, before big force followed, pushing those that were unprepared a meter or two. When everyone looked back at the boy, they could see that his arm became green and had a claws instead of normal fingers.

"In control of my other self." Everyone, except Azazel, widened their eyes, while Azazel hummed in interest. Before he could examine it more, black goo covered Kemono's hand and when it disappeared, he again had normal hand.

The scientist sighed and got up. "Well, whatever. Come to the training ground after both of you rest. One of my servants will take you there." They nodded and watched as Azazel left.

(END SONG)

An hour later, the two of them stood in front of Azazel and another man with weird, pale skin, black hair, pointy ears and bloody red eyes. He wore black robe with metallic accessories.

Azazel looked at the two. "Alright, I understand you two are only children, but you need to learn self-defense if you want to live in this world. I don't know what happened for you to end up in that forest, but I know I cannot let you simply die." He then looked at the other man. "This is Kokabiel, one of my colleagues. He's a exceptional fighter and will gladly help you in honing your fighting skill. Isn't that right, Kokabiel?"

The man nodded. "Of course Azazel, though I have to question why should I help a devil?" He asked, looking at Valier, who hid a little behind Kemono. "Well, I guess that doesn't matter. If Azazel wants me to train you, then I have no reason to decline."

Kokabiel clapped and two women came out. One had black hair and wore plain black shirt and black sweat pants, while the other one had blue hair and wore more professional suit. "This is Raynere and Kalawarner. They will be your sparring partners for today."

The two girls looked at them and bowed lightly, but not before sending Kemono a very fast, flirty smirk. That made him blush very lightly for some reason. They knew it already, teasing him will be fun.

Kalawarner was assigned to fight Kemono, while Raynere took on Vali. To not make too much chaos for now, they decided that Valier and Raynere should fight first. The two girls stood before each other. Raynere wore a confident smirk, while Vali tried to keep up her determined expression.

(Cue: Amazons OST Disc 1/Track 05)

After few seconds of silence, Raynere charged first and immediately delivered a backhand slap to Vali's face. It wasn't something strong, barely any force was put into it, but it was enough to send Vali flying across the field.

Kemono gasped at what happened. "Vali!" He yelled to his companion and was glad she got up moments later. She quickly dusted herself off and charged at her enemy, but got denied when Raynere sidestepped and pushed her, forcing her to fall thanks to girl's momentum.

"What is this?" Raynere asked mockingly, dodging a punch Valier threw after she got. "Is this all decadence of the legendary Lucifer can do?" Kemono felt as his blood boiled inside him... quite literally and metaphorically. He couldn't stand watching Vali being beaten up and ridiculed by someone like this woman. But at the same time he knew this was controlled spar and despite hating his attitude, he believed Azazel enough to trust he will stop this before it will get too out of hand.

And he did. Just before Raynere could deliver hit that could obviously wound Vali a lot, that is one with a light spear, Azazel snapped his finger. "Okay, that's enough. Raynere..." The raven head turned to her boss, standing as straight as her body allowed her to. "I know you have personal grudge against devils" Disgust on her face was enough of an evidence on that. "but you cannot take out your frustration on a child. Especially the one that is our guest here."

(END SONG)

She bowed in respect after few seconds of hesitation. "Yes, Azazel-sama." Both her and Valier walked onto the side and that was the cue for the other two to get ready. Both of them walked to the centre.

As they stood there, Kalawarner sent Kemono a seductive wink. "Hope you won't hurt this pretty lady~" This one sentence made Vali angry for some odd reason. But what she got was a blank stare from the boy, something she didn't honestly expect.

Seeing he didn't feel like playing, she went for the first hit. She dashed at him and was about to punch him, but his action surprised her. He went under her punch while also forcing her off of her feet by kicking her legs. As she was falling down, Kemono headed towards a nearby bench, confusing people surrounding them.

On the bench lied his belt, which he picked up and placed on his waist. By the time he returned to battlefield, Kalawarner managed to get up and was now staring at him. "What do you plan to do with that toy, boy?"

The answer came when he twisted left handle.

(Cue: Amazons OST Disc 1/Track 12)

OMEGA

That's when everyone noticed changes that happened to Kemono: His eyes turned fully red, his fangs pushed slightly forward, deep angry scowl rooted itself on his face and he growled like a furious wolf during a heated battle.

"UUUAAAAGHHH!" He suddenly roared with full force, startling all of the girls present. "AMAZON!"

That's when steam covered his whole being, heat and force hit everyone, pushing some of them backwards.

EVOLU-E-EVOLUTION

When steam disappeared, instead of Kemono stood beast Vali met before. That brought shock to everyone, even Vali, who didn't expect him to turn in such a way. "Kemono...?" She silently whispered, looking at the beast boy.

Azazel, however, quickly replaced his initial shock with interest. 'I wonder what exactly are you, kiddo.' He thought with small smirk adoring his face.

Kokabiel was a completely different story. Where others saw an unknown and weird power, he saw potential. Potential for perfect soldier. Potential for great ally. Potential for his plans being truly successful. "Interesting..." He muttered quietly to himself, watching his new possible ally's fight.

Said kid was now staring at his opponent, who was equally stunned. "What are you gaping at!?" His yell brought her out of her daze. She glared at him and then charged, summoning a light spear. Azazel wanted to stop the fight, but was to slow.

When light spear was about to touch his chest, Kemono slammed his open palm on top of Kalawarner's head, forcing her down with enough force to create a small crater. He then grabbed her by her hair, quickly examining her now bloodied and broken face. Second later he threw her into a column, which only slowed her fly. It only ended after she hit a barrier set up by Azazel some time before the test begun.

She slowly got up, but it was visible she was already tired out. This seemingly only slightly extraordinary boy, he actually have enough power to damage a fallen angel to such level? 'But he's obviously holding back.' Azazel concluded as he watched body moves of this 'child'. 'If he wanted, he would have killed her with his first move.'

Kalawarner panted loudly and glared at the boy again, before taking out her wings out and flying up in the air. "Now what will you do, huh!? You little monster sh-"

VIOLENT BREAK

Kemono twisted right handle of his belt and took it out. Attached to it was a metallic whip, which he used to grab his opponent's leg and bring her down with a roar. Exactly at the moment she connects with the ground, he rushed to her and punched her in the guts, increasing the potential size of the crater.

When dusk settled down, they could see Kemono standing over Kalawarner, pressing his foot on her stomach. "This is what you get for flirting in the fight." Pressure on her stomach increased. "Remember: Never underestimate your opponent. Don't taunt them unless you're absolutely sure you've won. If I were your real enemy, you would've been dead long time ago."

(END SONG)

He sighed and let her go as his body slowly returned to normal. "In this world you eat or get eaten. Become a hunter or the hunted." As he finished that, he fell face-first onto the ground.

"Kemono!" Almost instantly, Vali ran to his side and picked him up. Thankfully, he was alive and conscious, smiling lightly at her.

"Hey Vali-chan... You smell delicious... I need some meat..." He chuckled dryly and sat down on a bench with Vali's help. He felt extremely hungry, to the point where he could eat everyone present. But he knew he couldn't. It would be below him. It would make him an animal.

Someone threw him a chicken leg and when he looked up, he saw Azazel standing above him. "You're really interesting, kiddo. I never saw powers like what you have." He sat besides him and patted his back as Kemono ate his chicken. "You know what, instead of just teaching you self-defense, how about you stay here for few years and I train both of you?"

Both of the children looked at him, then at themselves. No words were exchanged, but non was needed. They had nowhere to go, Vali lost her family - except mother, but she's lost somewhere in the world - while Kemono remembered nothing of his past. But here Azazel gave them possibility of not only proper life, but also training? This is something that they cannot say no, even if they don't trust him much.

[We accept.] They said in union, turning back to him. Azazel smiled and nodded in understanding. That day was a day when Valier Lucifer and Kemono became pupils and, later, adopted children of Azazel.

Eight years have passed since Vali and Kemono came across Azazel.

Kemono sat up in his bed, stretching with a small yawn. He has changed greatly since that time. Most importantly, he grew a lot compare to his past self, now towering around 6.4 feet. He also got some muscles, gaining built of a athlete, instead of his previous branch look. His hair were now cut by half, but instead were extremely messy, giving him very wild look.

He looked at his side and small smile crept on his face. There laid his ex-foster sister, ex-bestie and current love of his life, Vali. She also grew a few compare to her younger self. While not as tall or muscled, she still was pretty tall, standing around 6 feet, while her built was that of a really healthy woman. Her assets also grew, having now healthy DD cups and buttcheeks that any men would for.

Kemono then turned to his night table and checked time on his phone. 5:40 am. Fairly early... 'What happened last night?' He asked himself as he rubbed his head. 'I remember we returned from a party, took some booze we got from Azazel and then... blur... I hate hangovers...' Knowing he can't do shit about it, Kemono moved his legs outside of his bed, just then noticing he was completely naked. '... Good thing it's her safe time...' He was too tired to laugh at that.

As he tried to get up, he felt tugging on his waist. He looked down to see a arm hugging him. "Good morning, sexy..." Tired voice of his girlfriend sounded behind him and he turned around once more to see messfest of Vali's hair slowly rising from bed, showing her full glory to him.

He chuckled and pecked her lips. "Morning, tasty..." She slapped back of his head for that stupid nickname. She hated when he called her that, because she wasn't sure whether he's seriously calling her tasty or if he's just complimenting her. "Ow. Gomen." He rubbed back of his head and got up. He picked his boxers and pants up before putting them on. "I'm going to make us breakfast." He said before leaving their room. It was a truly perfect life.

But unfortunately, life is never perfect.

As Vali and Kemono sat in their living room, Vali eating a big sandwich, while Kemono devouring cooked eggs and bacon, they watched TV. And what showed up on it brought bad mood for them.

[In the recent weeks, many people started to disappear under mysterious circumstances. At the same time, there has been numerous reports of rotten smell coming from abandoned buildings and houses. Not much is known about reasons behind these happenings, but police assures that they are already investigating this matter. Now, to the news-]

For others, those two things, while unnerving, aren't something they would consider true problem. But Vali and Kemono knew better. "Do you think it's THEM?" He nodded and got up after finishing his food.

"Yeah, this does sound like work of Amazons. But for them to awake already?" He shock his head and got on his school uniform. Alongside his girlfriend, Kemono attends Kuoh Academy in college division.

But why going to college when you have powers like those two? Well, there are few things. Most importantly, both of them want to sooner or later live a happy and calm life, away from supernatural world and their past. For that, they need education which will allow them to get some well-paid jobs.

Outside of that, Azazel asked them to attend this exact academy, because he wanted them to keep eye on both his subordinates and possible threats. While normally they would deny something like this, considering they do not work for him, they also knew they owed him for helping and raising them this all years.

(Cue: Armour Zone by Taro Kobayashi)

Kemono shock his head as both of them walked down the road, looking at the sun slowly rising in the horizon. 'Why do I have a feeling that shit will go down really fast in next few days?' He asked himself with a internal frown. His instincts never failed, no matter whether it was good or a bad thing. But he really hoped this time they were wrong.

Unfortunately, as it was said before, life is NEVER perfect.

And that was prologue of my newest project, Wild Beast.

I got this idea after watching half of first season of Kamen Rider Amazons and reading fanfic Wild Omega by ShadowBladeKnight (BTW, check him out, he does great Kamen Rider fanfics. Even if his updates are really rare, every chapter have quality behind it).

Writing this made me realize something: I suck at 3rd PoV. That's why from now on I will only use 3rd PoV for prologues and if I need to deliver some plot outside of MC's hearing range.

So yeah... If you liked it and hope next chapters will be better written, follow and favorite (Not like they won't get better with time, it's just that big numbers motivate me to actually write this) and if you have some constructive criticism, questions or something else, feel free to leave a review.

For now, see ya!

Ja~Ne!

Next hunt:

"Senpai! Have mercy!" Issei squealed in fear, covering his head with his own hands.

"Yoink!" I quickly jumped down, grabbing the unconscious pervert before returning to the trees.

"Senpai, who really are you?" Rias asked with demanding tone, slamming her hands on her desk.

In front of us, small nun around Issei's age tripped and fell on the ground.
