Disclaimer: I do not own the following: Sonic the hedgehog, Dragonball Z, Tekken, Prince of Persia (the Dagger of time), Batman (the car looks like the Bat-Mobil), Pok'emon (Lugia's ocarina); (I will add more when the time comes.)
Claimer: Bakuda, Dakuba, Dawn, Aura, Tara, Karnak, Adam, 'The Universal Gods', Creculo the hedge-fox and Twilight the hedge-fox I own. Bakuda was a 'spur-of-the-moment' name a friend and I created for an online game in 1999. I used the name for every game/story character ever since. If you spot anything that may be discreetly connected to another Anime/book/TV show, ECT, it is purely coincidence and not intentional.
I only own half of the character known as 'Zephkuda' (Tournament to Test the Gods); the other half belongs to 'The-Blue-Zephyr.'
A dull town, one that would have fit nicely in a suburb of New York had it not been on a different planet. People were walking in between the tall buildings and the little shops, all different sizes and shapes and all seemed happy with their way of life... except for two.
A pair of small fox pups were huddled in a corner of an alleyway, still trying to back away from a gang of seemingly feral dogs. A larger dog, a mastiff, came forward and gave the small fox cubs a stern look before smiling; "I told you two not to show your faces in broad daylight!" he yelled and kicked the orange pup in the face.
The pup was knocked against the wall and fell unconscious with the other grey one rocking him slightly, whimpering. The grey fox pup looked up at him with watering eyes; "But we were hungry..." he whimpered before the same dog kicked him against his brother.
The dog snarled; "How DARE you speak to me you piece of filth! You are nothing more than that and it will stay that way! Your father was a murderer and all you had to say at the time at your dear mommy's murder was 'I want my mom'? You two are the weakest on the planet. Your mother is GONE! Get over it!" He spat.
The pup went into a ball; "But... But... We're only four..." he said sniffling.
The dog hit him again; "What did I say?! I don't care if you are ONE YEAR OLD! You are a waste of space and are better off dead!" he shouted and kicked him one last time, making him fall unconscious.
The gang left, leaving the two unconscious pups alone. The pups had the exact same dream from their forcefully induced sleep.
The grey and orange fox pups were walking home with little school bags on, the grey one turned to the orange fox; "Nox? Do you think Dad will be mad tonight?" he asked sadly.
Nox nodded; "Naxon, he gets all bad every night. He won't tell mommy why either, he just keeps drinks that bad juice." He said sighing deeply. They walked up to a common home like any other on that street and knocked on the door.
It took several minutes before they realised that no one heard them and they knocked again. Nox and Naxon looked at each other confused when no one opened again; their mom's car was in the driveway...
They reached up and managed to turn the doorknob with difficulty, they opened it slightly and peeked inside, a weak musky smell was in there and they didn't like it.
They walked in slowly and looked around; "Mom? Dad?" Naxon said timidly as Nox did the same in the next room.
A large dog in a police uniform came in; "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! We told everyone to evacuate the premises!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, causing Naxon to recoil in fright and Nox to run in. Naxon shuddered; "This is our house," he muttered with his teeth chattering slightly. The police dog sighed.
"You two must be Nox and Naxon... I would hate to tell you kid's this but someone has to. Your Father murdered your mother later today and had taken off. You were supposed to be picked up at school to be told." He explained.
Nox and Naxon's heart seemed to stretch and shatter to pieces and their eyes tearing up; "But... We want our mommy..." they said in union, the officer shook his head.
"Someone will come for you eventually." He promised, walking out and muttering under his breath. Naxon and Nox sat next to each other, crying silently at the sudden news and waiting... But no one came. The police officer got in the car that belonged to their mother and smirked; "This is way too easy, those kids we be good fun." He said hotwiring the car and driving off.
The house was sold to another family, who 'Kicked' Nox and Naxon onto the street with no money or food. The only things they had were what were in their school bags, a colouring book and the lunch they had half eaten earlier.
Ever since, Naxon and Nox have tried countless times to get any food they can, their only shelter is a run down building that would someday be demolished... and the worst part? No one cares.
The citizens just see two kids that are the devil spawn of a murderer and nothing more. The people of the city were told by the police that the father, who was killed later that day, was a gang member and had been teaching Naxon and Nox how to be thieves for him.
They can't see the pain, the hurt, the suffering that the cubs felt since the day they were left alone in that dark musty house. They couldn't see two little cubs that were scared, hungry... and alone. Just because of a few rumours that a corrupt cop had spread about them, No one wanted two potential thieves in their house.
No one cared that they were beaten, starved or abused. If an average person did see it and cared about what was going on, they would not cross the gang that did it since they were infamous in that city. The Rabid Canines. A malicious group they preyed on the weak and helpless and, if possible, robbing them blind. The Police do nothing since some of the police officers are involved! Therefore they always make false claims to the hideout of the group but to find out that they are fake accusations and have to pull back.
Since Naxon and Nox had no money what so ever, they just made punching bags out of them. How they survived for this long on their own and in such harsh conditions are unknown to many, yet they still don't help the poor orphans. Everyone knew that they were targets of the gang and didn't want to help them in case they were targeted to. The gang was feared all over the city from their actions, robbing and assaults on their ememies.
You could say that the whole town was nothing but cowards, that couldn't get past their own fear of pain to help two cubs that hurt so much already, that they didn't even want to see the sun rise, only to fall so that they could rest and be away from the cruel place.
Later, Nox woke up first, it was daybreak. Another day of torture for him and his brother. He turned over on the hard ground with difficulty, due to his weakened and abused state. He slowly rocked Naxon, who opened his eyes slowly and whimpered, not wanting to believe that it was morning already.
They both sat up without saying anything and just stared at the sunrise, wishing that it would just go away and let them sleep. But of course… it didn't. Nox stood up and sighed; "Come on Naxon, Let's go find some food." He murmured and helped his brother up. Naxon groaned as he stood up and his stomach growled at the lack of food.
"Nox, We haven't eaten in three days. I can hardly move." He complained. But Nox wouldn't hear it and walked out of the alleyway with Naxon trailing behind.
Market District
Nox and Naxon stood in a street where people were standing near stalls of goods and food. They licked their lips, it was Saturday… Market day. Hey almost got at least some food in their stomachs if they were quiet. So they crept forward, trying not to be seen by anyone they didn't want to notice them.
They soon came to a stall with apples lining the edge and under the careful eye of a grey bull dog. Naxon and Nox looked to each other for one brief moment as their stomachs growled at them, they licked their lips and Naxon climbed on top of Nox's shoulders, reaching for an apple.
Naxon grinned as he grabbed two apples and took them off the shelf without the dog knowing, he smiled but fell off Nox's shoulder! He landed on the ground heavily on the ground with a small dust cloud escaping underneath him as he meet with the earth. Nox panicked and tire to get him up when both Naxon's and Nox's arm's were grabbed by the angry dog.
"What give's you the right to steal from MY shop!" he yelled, gaining the attention of everyone in the district. Nox whimpered and just shivered, Naxon did the same as he was held higher than Nox was.
Naxon cried a bit; "We just wanted an Apple, can we please?" he asked hopefully and the dog smirked.
"Sure kid, that will be two coins." He said grinning madly, knowing the cubs had no money. And just shook him; "But I know who you are, you will have to go to jail if you don't pay up kid!" he said maliciously when he suddenly dropped them; "OW!"
The dog rubbed his sore head and two coins bounced onto the counter in front of him; "Who the… Alright kid! You'll pay for that!" he yelled and picked up Naxon again, preparing to punch the little cubs lights out when the dog froze… He looked to his feet and saw ice crystals were beginning to crawl up his leg, keeping him in place and freezing his legs into ice blocks. Eventually, the ice had reached the dog's head and completely covered it, drowning out the screams that he was letting out.
Nox and Naxon lay on the ground; the dog had dropped Nox when he froze. Nox and Naxon looked up in awe as the glass like ice began to break and melt, soon the Dog stood unfrozen yet still standing in the same place, his eyes closed and fell over backwards and out of sight with a thud.
Naxon had got up again to check him out and found him unconscious; "What happened?" he asked Nox from the top of the counter.
Nox shrugged and his stomach growled; "He was mean…" he murmured and fell onto the ground again, everyone were staring at them still.
"He deserved it," someone in the crowed said calmly, the crowed parted and shown a light blue wolf, light ocean blue eye that were narrowed in annoyance and fists clenched. He came forward and towered over the two cubs.
Naxon had gotten down from the top of the counter and tried to get close to Nox in case he wanted to hurt them, like everyone else did when they were seen in public.
The wolf smiled and bent down to them, his eyes showed something the cubs hadn't seen before… Concern.
"Are you two alright?"
This will be a story of three Chapters, Just to introduce three of my newest OC's.
