Ginga Densetsu Arashi (Silver Fang Legend Storm) Chapter 1: Dawning of a New Legend
Disclaimer: I do not own GDW or any of the characters. But I will have a few OC's in this fanfic.
Alpha: There will be some changes, but I won't say what they are cause that would ruin the surprise.
On with the story!
Four puppies sat in front of a old English Setter and an adult light brown adult Shiba, in the lush green forest and the sun warming their fur.
"Uncle, can you please teach us? Teach us how to combat!" an English Setter puppy pleaded, "No one else will."
"All right. I suppose I can show you how to defend yourselves." the English Setter replied rising to his paws.
"Don't treat Smith-san like that! If it wasn't for him we wouldn't be able to live here." the other dog scolded them.
Smith chuckled. "It's okay. Besides I'm not that old yet." all the puppies let out their praises, pursuing the older English setter.
Ten Years Earlier
Lighting flashes as a massive bear stood on a mountain formed by rocks surrounded by dogs of all breeds. Snow covered the demonic looking bear and it shook the rapidly descending snow. All the dogs were willing to give their lives to kill the demon bear, known as Akakabuto.
The dog in the front of the pack was more unusual. He was a silver tora-ge Akita pup, followed by a German Shepherd, a Kishu, a brown Great Dane, an English Mastiff, a Tosa, a Rough Collie, three Kai Kens and a Siberian Husky.
Behind the dogs were hunters, not even damaging the bear with their shotguns. A brown adult tora-ge Akita vaulted through the air to strike the oversized bear. Akakabuto snarled, swiping his unscathed claw at the dog.
The older Akita cascaded to the ground, whimpering in torture, blood surging from his newly acquired abrasions, before collapsing on his side.
The six month old Akita grimaced, then let out a feral growl before charging at Akakabuto. Gin, the silver tora-ge Akita, initiated spinning like a razor and the bear raised both his claws to shield himself.
Gin descend on Gajou beyond Akakabuto and the demon bear's head flew into the air.
The humans endowed Gajou to the dogs in thanks for killing Akakabuto, when they couldn't. The silver tora-ge let out a howl, in victory and for their casualties, the rest of the dogs joined in as well.
Years of peace followed Akakabuto's death. But the tranquility was scourged by a new foe.
Kaibutsu.
A mammoth-sized dog ripped off an Ohu warrior head, letting out a thunderous howl.
"Report!" an English setter stormed into the clearing.
"Smith-san!" Smith addressed who called him. A two year old golden-brown Akita bowed his head, and the angelic white Akita bowed too.
"The Kaibutsu has broken through to our fourth defense."
"Then it's time for me to join the battle."
"No. You can't, Smith-san."
"I won't miss out on this battle. My friends need me."
"We have new orders from Leader."
"From Gin? What is it?"
"Lady Sakura demands an usher out of Ohu. She is sustaining Leader's pups, and it is essential that she is taken to sanctuary."
"I accept. I will protect Gin's mate and future pups with my life. Sakura, let's go!"
"Yes, Smith!"
Smith bolted into the forest, Sakura was on his tail.
"Please be careful!" the messenger's cry drowned out by the sounds of bloodshed.
Six Months Later
An English Setter observed a flock of birds, slowly prowling till he was almost in range to lunge at the birds.
A little more. he thought inching to his unaware prey, 3...2...1!
A silver tora-ge Akita puppy flew out of the bushes and tried to snatch one.
What is she doing? the Setter jolted out of his astonishment, jumping and seizing the bird that flew in front of him.
"Brat, what are you doing? This is my kill?" he complained through the feathers. The puppy tried to take it from him.
"No! I saw it first!" the Akita shouted, scarcely wavering for a few seconds.
"Enough! I won't allow you act like this!" he dropped his bird and threw the pup at a tree.
He was dumbfounded as the pup twisted in the air and ricocheted off of it, commandeering the pigeon and darting away.
The English Setter jolted out of his trance when he realized the pup was getting away with his kill.
The English Setter tackled the Akita pup to the ground detaining her, "Brat! You should only start a fight when your certain you can win."
The pup struggled to get out of his grip, I-I can't lose!
The Akita released the bird, "Mother...I'm taking it back to my Mother!"
The dog's eyes widened, Mother? But she could be lying. The Setter thought for a few seconds, then spared him.
"Go. Before I change my mind."
The Akita pup smiled at him, picking up the bird, "Thank you! Um... what's your name?"
"GB the English Setter." GB expressed, glancing back.
"GB...Thank you, GB!" the pup exited using the bushes.
"Wait! Kid, what's your name?" GB inquired to late 'cause the Akita pup was out of hearing range.
I wonder if she even has a name. I better go see Nero. GB frowned, he knew he was going to obtain major punishment.
The silver tora-ge Akita made her way up a staircase leading to a shrine, her sapphire blue eyes shining with pure happiness.
An adult female white Akita with chocolate brown eyes was laying under the shrine panting from her sickness.
She directed her regard to the other Akita with the bird.
"Arashi, you're here. I was beginning to worry about you." the white Akita smiled, sitting up to lick her cheek.
Arashi gave the pigeon GB gave to her to Sakura, then repaid the kiss.
"Eat, mother. If you do, you'll get your strength back!" Arashi said, encouraging her to eat.
Sakura observed the wound on her neck, "Arashi! You're bleeding!"
"I-It's nothing! I got it while hunting!" she lied.
Sakura narrowed her eyes, however she let it pass.
Sakura tore a piece off the chest and swallowed it in anguish. She huffed to catch her breath.
"Is it delicious?" Arashi asked hopefully. Sakura nodded in response, smiling slightly.
Arashi beamed and ran away, "I'll go catch you a lot more!"
Arashi had no luck in catching anything else for Sakura to eat. She was sadly making her way back home when she saw GB sitting near a creek, "Hey, GB!" Arashi wagged her tail, glancing at the setter from the bridge.
"You idiot! This is Nero's territory! If he catches you here, he'll kill you!" GB reprimanded Arashi.
"GB!" a red Shiba Inu sprinted to him.
"Sasuke? Why are you here?"
Sasuke scowled, aggravation inscribed on his face, "Since you didn't steal the ducks now, I have to help you!"
"Don't GB! Mother said we should never steal from the humans!" Arashi exclaimed, enlightening her presence to them again.
"GB, do you know that kid?" Sasuke realized Arashi was there.
GB glowered at Arashi, "No. Brat mind our own business! This doesn't concern you, got it?"
Arashi watched Sasuke and GB depart.
"So where is the place?" Sasuke asked.
GB was bewildered, "What?"
"I haven't been told about it."
GB smirked, a plan forming in his brain. They saw the ducks resting in between the pond and the shed.
"Sasuke, you go by the pond and chase them to those bushes. I'll grab one, so we don't have to chase them around..." GB indicated where he would be hiding.
"And we'll take the ducks back to Nero." Sasuke finished and went down by the house, excluding the forlorn look upon GB's face.
Sasuke hesitated for a moment, before lunging at the ducks having no fortune in catching one.
"GB! What are you waiting fo-" his sentence was cut short when the guard dog pinned Sasuke to the ground, "What in the heck are you doing?"
"GB! Help! Please help me! GB!" Sasuke cried out in distress, while GB glanced at him with remorse for what he was doing to his companion.
I'm so sorry, Sasuke. But, I'm too much of a coward to help you. Plus I can't take on that guard dog. He's too huge. GB left Sasuke behind to die. When he was about to desert his friend when he encountered Arashi on the hill.
"GB, why aren't you helping him? Isn't he your friend?" Arashi asked, observing Sasuke struggle to escape.
GB frowned at the ground. "No... He isn't my friend... Sasuke's just a dog I knew... And I'm too spineless to help him... Even if he is my friend..." he trailed off.
"Never mind! If you won't help him I will!" Arashi sprinted to the pond.
"Don't, you'll only die!"
Why am I such a coward? When will I ever change? GB wallowed in remorse for a few minutes. Then he heard a blood curling scream.
When he arrived at that house, Arashi was in grip of the guard dog.
GB felt like his soul exploded into freedom. "Fight me instead!" GB clenched the dog's ear.
"You can't convert yourself just by talking big!" the guard dog growled, launching GB into the air, before clenching his neck and slamming him to the ground.
Arashi recovered swiftly, buffeting the Tosa with his own head, scarcely doing any damage.
"Kid! I want you to take Sasuke and flee from here."
"No! I'll fight to save you GB!"
GB felt tears come to his eyes. "Why are you fighting for a dog like me?"
"What do you mean? You supported my Mother before." Arashi beamed, replying to the question.
The guard dog had enough. "Die brat!" he yelled as he threw Arashi into the shed.
"Hey kid! Are you alright?" Sasuke asked concerned.
Arashi rose slowly taking in deep breaths and her eyes turned blue, snarling Arashi sprinted toward the guard dog.
"Still want to fight, huh?" the guard dog licked his lips.
"No!" GB gripped his left ear.
"Let me go! Let me go!" the Tosa glanced at Arashi sprinting towards him, "Let me g-"
Arashi started spinning like a blade and cleaved his ear in half.
Standing on the path was a dog with his left front leg missing, and shock on his face.
The guard dog cried in pain and Arashi landed a few feet away.
"Kid! That was amazing!" Sasuke raced to Arashi's shoulder.
"Now none of can retreat with your lives! What is this lust for blood?" the Tosa acknowledged the dog on the trail, glowering at him.
"I-I was only teasing. I wasn't really going to hurt your friends!" Banken secluded himself in his doghouse.
"That attack was so amazing! How did you do that?" GB recognized the dog as he approached them, "Old man? Why are you here?"
"Hey kid, could it be your mother's name is Sakura?" he asked and Arashi gestured yes.
"Please take me to her!" Arashi motioned for them to follow her.
"Mother, this is GB, Sasuke and um... What is your name old man?" he scowled at Arashi.
"Don't call me old man! The name is Smith."
"Mother... Is this the Smith you told me about?"
Sakura glanced at Smith. "Yes. Smith-kun escorted me out of Ohu when chaos was around me."
Smith dropped to the ground sobbing ,"Sakura... I-I'm so sorry."
Sakura struggled to stand and walked over to Smith and licked his left leg. "Please don't Sakura."
"I need to talk to Smith-kun alone for a few minutes." Arashi nodded, as she went out of hearing range, GB and Sasuke following her.
"Does Arashi know that Gin is her father?" Smith asked. Sakura shook her head.
"No. I haven't told her who her father is."
"Sakura, Arashi is the successor to Gajou and the Ohu Army. She should know who her father is. Arashi executed her father's attack, the Battouga. And she's even younger then Gin was when he first learned Battouga," Smith glanced at Arashi, "We should tell her."
"No."
"Why not? She deserves to know."
"Gin has many adversaries. What would happen if they found out that he has a child?"
"They would kill Arashi. Or worse use her as ransom against him. Very well. Arashi cannot know who her father is." Smith conceded.
"Not until my daughter confronts Gin, and only then can she know her real Father." Sakura toppled to the ground, breathless.
"Mother!"
"Arashi, you must go to Ohu, with Smith-kun. He'll take you to face your Father."
"Father? You said my Father died before I was born." Arashi's ears perked up.
"He is alive. However we were divided when the Kaibutsu ambushed Gajou." Sakura coughed up more blood, gulping in air.
"Smith... you must take Arashi to Ohu to meet her father." Sakura said, shutting her eyes for the final time.
"MMMMMOOOTTTHHHEEERRR-!" Arashi screamed in vain and buried her face in Mother's fur, as tears cascaded down her cheeks. GB, Sasuke and Smith had tears flowing down their cheeks too.
Arashi stood over her mother's freshly dug grave, mourning her death, as new daybreak sunlight gleamed on the frost on trees and plants.
GB walked up next to ther. "Kid, stop crying. Tears won't bring your mother back. You should be a little stronger. Um, do you have name?" GB asked changing the topic.
Arashi responded his question, "My name is Arashi. My mother named me that because I'm untamed, like a storm."
Sasuke stood up, "I'm going to search for my master. I won't return to Nero. Goodbye GB, Smith, and Arashi. Travel safely." he sprinted down the flight of stairs.
"Well, Arashi... are you ready to go meet your father?" Smith asked as he smiled.
"Yes!" she said smiling up at him.
"What? But, you were just crying your eyes out!" GB protested, as she leapt around.
Arashi, along with Smith and GB, commenced the search to meet her father in the Ohu army.
This is the dawning of a new legend.
Alpha: I did a cliffhanger, well sort of. So far there haven't been any big changes. I replaced Weed with Arashi, who wont be as soft as he was in anime. Anyway the next chapter is Rescue Mel. Here is a preview of it.
"Brat, you have a long way to go before you can beat me!" Blue slammed Arashi into a boulder.
Arashi struggled to stand, giving Blue a glare that promised fatality and lunged at him.
He dodged her assault and clasping her tail, battering her head against the ground. Blue flung her away and she forced herself to stand.
Arashi's head had blood it streaming down from the wound Blue gave her. She let out a savage howl and her eyes transformed to pure blue and her fur became more wild. Arashi became a blur, as she vaulted under Blue, severing his back legs with her razor-sharp fangs.
Sunstrike: That's all you get for now, so if you want to read more you have to wait to the next one. It will be good as will the chapters to come... I hope. Any OC's you want me add, tell me in your review. Tell me their age, breed, history, family, special abilities, etc, and I'll add them in future chapters. 'Til next time, review!
