Prologue: Roar! the Banchou Descends
A figure rose from the crater of where he had landed. Groaning and clutching his head, he shook the rest of his headache as he took a quick look around. He seems to be in a forest as the only light that that can illuminate the night and darkness of the forest was the moonshine peaking through above the trees.
The figure rose to his full height of 7 ft. His overall physique and appearance resembles that of a humanoid-lion standing with his arms and legs resemble that of a lion with claws sharpened to give an intimidating feature. He wears black long pants folded just at length with his knees; bandages covered his well defined abdomen, red arm-guard wrist and feet, a large black Haori with two gold rings at the tip of its sides while Japanese engravings that spell the word "Banchou" are adorned on the back side of the long sleeves and the back, the Haori is place on top of his shoulders. Finishing his attire is a Banchou hat that hugged his grayish white wild hair on his lion like face. One of the many features that truly show his fierce side was the large scar on his abdomen.
"Well it looks like I'm not where I should be going in the afterlife" thought the lion humanoid as he scan the forest with his lion eyes that dive and can see clearly in the dark. "Seriously though where the hell Am I?"
His last memory of what he can remember was dying and saving the last life of his friend Damon Spencer; a scientist that once entered the digital and fused with his soul when the Royal Knights attacked him and Damon. Last he could remember was fighting Yggdrasil; the one who took and claimed the body of his friend. He then vaguely remembers helping Spencer's kid when he came to the real world to stop the darkness that spread through it from the Digital world. And nothing else but he can recall him speaking with Damon before vanishing in the light and telling him that the darkness was dispelled and now he can return to his body.
'Damon…' the lion humanoid reminisce his vague memory. 'I hope you have finally found your happiness'
His thought and reminisce was soon disturbed by the rustling of bushes all around him. With his animalistic and digitalized heightened senses he can feel the dread and darkness that seem to be emitted by his supposed *visitors*. From out of the bushes he was met with five bear like beings with white bone armors defining their supposed genetic structure. One of the bears he can tell is clearly an Alpha due to its size. He scoffed at the thought of a fashion of darkness branding itself of black and white as it theme.
"Either you guys are overgrown babies or are knuckle heads thinking you can intimidate me with your bony features" the lion humanoid said as he crossed his arms and taunting them for thinking they easily found their dinner.
His only response from them was the imminent growls and brandishing of their features to scare him off. The lion humanoid gave out a sigh and reached out for a small twig from a branch and putting it to his mouth like a Bancho would always do before heading into a fight.
"Alright you cowards…" he trailed off while getting into a fighting stance and tightening his fist while giving them a true predator look from his eyes. "Let's Dance!" he roared before charging ahead.
Two of the black bears tried to swipe him of front but he met them head and grab their clawed hands, he gave a small grin as he proceeded to crush the bears hands with just his grip before pulling real hard and slamming their heads with one another with such force that their skull plate crack completely rendering them dead as they hit the ground.
Seeing this display on its brethren, the Alpha bear ordered the other to attack him as well but before they could act on the order a fist collided on the chin of one before being sent upwards by a strong uppercut on the air several feet above, the other was stunned by the display before being grabbed by one of its arm and pulled as a fierce right hook connected and smashing the head plate sending the other small bear to collide with fallen one from the sky and ended with both shot through several trees and out of their sight.
The Alpha was now visibly shaken by how deadly and brutal the display was shown to him. Never before he had seen someone easily taken out his kind by someone or something that is clearly not a huntsman or huntress which he fought several times before, no this being or whatever it is not a prey in its eyes no he is clearly seeing a true Alpha predator who clearly shows him his place on top of the food chain and he is on the bottom. The Alpha was torn of either avenging his pack from this being or run away and live in terror for losing its only life. Before he could come up with its decision, a fist collided on its face and was shot back several feet behind and collided on a big rock creating a several cracks on it due to how much force was put on the punch, its face plate had small several cracks on it as a show on how much damage it took from that.
"Get up!" The Alpha turned to were the voice came from. Standing several feet in front of him was the lion humanoid, crossed arms and clearly not happy with a pissed off looked on his face. "Get up!" the lion humanoid said once more, the Alpha shakily got up clearly feeling the ache of its body because of the attack. The Alpha now looked at the lion on his eyes as it begrudgingly shook of little of the pain its feeling.
"You were confident a minute ago and now look at you! You are a disgrace! I can clearly see that you were the Alpha of the group but you just stood there and only watched as I decimate and humiliate your underlings as if they were garbage needed to be taken out!" The Lion-humanoid roared as if lecturing him about the fight. "I'm clearly disappointed to your utter display of showing the prey of your choice stood up and kicked your disgraceful bear butt!"
The Alpha snarled to the comment of the being as it rushed right at him and clearly swiping the smug look on its face. As its attack nearing its intended target, the Alpha was surprise when its large clawed hand was grabbed easily by the lion humanoid. The lion humanoid then proceeded to tighten its grip as it howled in agony for having its hand completely crushed, it then proceeded to use its other hand to swipe at him but was met with the same fate as it others. Kneeling and pain coursing through its body and worse at his hands the Alpha bear looked at the face of its ender and snarled once more for the humiliation of its pack and its undeniable end.
"You are clearly mistaken for having chosen me as your dinner" said the lion humanoid as his eyes focused on the dull and lifeless and soulless bear his holding. "You not only sullied the title of *Alpha* of your group but I can clearly see that you are not worthy of it!" he then let go its hand and flared a golden like aura on his right fist as he looked at the pitying form of his opponent. "Allow me to tell you that you are undeserving of it…" he then reared back his golden coated fist. "And allow this Banchou to show you how strong a true Alpha really is!" he then proceeded to give fierce golden Aura punch shaped like a lion's head ready to tear it apart, "Flashy Boss Punch!" He roared as it connected to the Alpha's stomach skidding it backwards creating a trail from its fist before colliding again on the big rock and smashing through it as it collapsed on top of it.
'Weaklings…' the lion humanoid thought as he took another look at his *visitors* for ruining his moment. He then looked up at the broken moon as he made a solemn vow to it in silence, after a few minutes he then turned his attention to the figure that was watching him.
"You may come out now before I'll punch the tree you're hiding from" he called out to it, a figure dropped down from the one of the tree branches it was standing it on and proceeded with caution at it approached him.
"You knew?" the voice asked, he clearly knew that voice belong to a female and judging from his senses he can also clearly tell that this woman was part animal."When did you notice?"
"From the moment before those things showed up before thinking they could make me their meal out of me" He answered turning around and taking in the feature of his so called *audience*. The prominent he could tell from his observation was that the woman he thought was actually a teenager. Her choice of clothing and color scheme vaguely tells him that this teen resembled that of someone relying on the shadows for a swift knockout or kill of its victim. The thing that caught his attention was the color of her eyes, Amber and the story that dwells and etched into it. He also noticed the slight twitching from the bow that he can tell were another set of ears underneath. "Needless to say it is quite rude of you to just standby and not help considering that weapon attached on your back"
The teenager slowly reached out for her weapon thinking he might do something towards her. She completely disregarded that idea as the lion humanoid turned around and walked towards a nearby cliff taking in the view of the forest as it illuminated from the light of the moon.
She slowly approached him with caution as she stood in silence beside him. Seconds turned into minutes as the two stood in silence and basked on the night scenery before them.
"Blake. Blake Belladonna" the teenage girl said introducing herself and breaking the silence between the two.
The Lion humanoid crossed his arms and stood there completely silent as he closed his eyes and seemingly ignoring the introduction of the girl. A few minutes passed and the girl named Blake almost decided to turn around and leave him.
"BanchouLeomon" he said opening his eyes and basking once more the scenery of the forest before turning his attention towards Blake. "A pleasure to meet you Blake"
