Wolf Hunt
"Fox, what do you have for me?"
"Devil Dog, there appears to be two wolves up ahead and-"
"Um Fox…"
"Oh, sorry. There appears to be two tangos up ahead and they seem to be ready for a fight."
"Any way around them?"
"Nope… looks like you're going to be getting into a fight after all."
Devil Dog smiles and, as he made his way through the building, he spots the two wolves. One was simply sitting on his haunches while the other was watching the hallway.
"Hmm… I can either take them out one at a time… or I can take them out at the same time…"
Deciding to take both out, he rips off one of the ventilators before climbing inside the vents. He knew he would probably end up making a lot of noise… but he didn't really care at the moment.
As he made his way through the vents he-
"Alex!"
Opening his eyes, he look around to see Hunter staring at him.
"What do you want?"
Hunter rolls his eyes and says, "Kodi has a mate."
"Oh, did he mate with that… what's the tramp's name," he asks halfheartedly.
"No, his mate is some wolf bitch."
"What? Who?"
"I don't fucking know. Just some wolf bitch with fucked up eyes."
"Wait… her eyes are fucked up? How?"
"Two different colors."
He rolls his eyes and say, "Hunter… you know our eyes are fucked up too, right?"
"How are our eyes fucked up?"
"Well… the average wolf has brown or hazel eyes. Our eyes are-"
"Are what? Deformed? Two different colors? Purple?"
Sighing in defeat, he simply says, "Never mind."
"What? What's wrong?"
"You make me want to eat children."
He rolls onto his feet and, looking around, he says, "Strange… it feels warmer."
"Yeah, well it is. I blame global warming."
"You don't even know what that is."
Hunter chuckles and says, "Yeah, but it's an interesting conversation starter."
"Hunter, you're as intelligent as a bag of hammers."
"What's a hammer?"
Rolling his eyes, he scents the air. "Strange smell… was there a lightning storm earlier?"
"Yeah, it happened when you were asleep."
"Hmm… so this wolf comes into town and mates with Kodi. All the sudden, things go… weird and-"
"Um… they haven't mated yet."
"Okay, I don't want to know how you know that."
"Hey, word travels fast and-"
"Just… just shut up."
"Alright… if you say so."
As Hunter quiets down, the other wolf looks around and says, "Where's Balto?"
"Probably mating with Jenna."
"Or maybe he's in town…"
Hunter chuckles and says, "No, he's fucking her up the butt!"
"Jesus, is that all you think about?"
Hunter's ears fold back and he says quietly, "I've been lonely…"
"Yeah… do you still do… that thing you do… behind some rocks or is it now a tree?"
"Like I said, I'm lonely."
Deciding not to press things further, the male continues to look around and-
"Alex, are you alright?"
"No, I am not alright."
"… Do you want to talk about it?"
Sighing heavily, Alex simply jumps off the trawler and heads into town.
"No!"
Once he made it to town, Alex began looking around for Kodi and his new 'mate'.
As he looked around, he sees Kaltag.
"Hey, have you seen Kodi?"
"Um…" Kaltag looks around a bit and asks, "Did Hunter tell you?"
"Hunter told me many things so… yes, he did."
"Oh… well… what are you going to do?"
"Oh, I'm just going to-"
"You're not going to yell at her are you?"
Alex chuckles and says, "Yelling is not my thing. No, I'm going to crush her skull and snap her neck because that's how I fucking roll."
Kaltag stares at him for a moment before he says, "Yeah… I'm not going to say anything."
Alex sighs before he continues his investigation.
He enters an alley and, as he looks around, a box hits him in the head.
As everything goes black, he sees a red and cream canine with a white canine approaching him. They say something… but he could barely hear anything.
Shaking his head, Alex looks around… and sees a world burned by war. As he walks, he sees walking canines with… guns? They were shooting everything… well, everything human.
"What the fuck?"
He sees a very odd looking vehicle walk past him. It looked like a giant…
"Fucking hell, I hate spiders…"
He hears a canine shout, "For the Alpha Supreme!"
Alpha Supreme? What the hell is this?
As he walks through this war-torn world, two canines, one in white and blue armor, the other in red and black armor, approach him.
"Um… I'm just visiting," says Alex defensively.
They stop in front of him and, as they take off their helmets, he sees that they are both him.
"Wait… what the hell?"
The one in white and blue says, "Alex, we are you. You see, I am the side of you at peace. I am your tranquility."
The one in black and red says, "I am your hate, your rage. I am the part of you that wants to hurt others."
Alex sighs and, seeing a very feminine version of him in pink armor, he asks, "And what the fuck are you?"
"Your gay side."
Alex looks at the one in black and red armor and says, "Kill him."
"Sorry, doesn't work like that."
Alex glares at the pink one and says, "Go away… I don't like you."
"You will one day," as the pink one disappears.
Alex turns back to the other two and says, "Fucking flamers… anyways, what did you want to tell me?"
The white and blue one says, "Don't let your hate and rage take over you. Once you do, you will hurt the ones you love."
Alex turns to the one in and red and black and asks, "And your opinion is?"
"Your rage fuels you… I'm the thing that has kept you going. You are at war with yourself… hopefully, one of us wins. For now, I'm going to go back to slaughtering humans."
The white and blue one says, "And I'll go back to protecting them."
They soon disappear and Alex sees the world vanish.
Waking up, he sees Kodi staring at him. "Alex?"
He suddenly pushes himself up as fast as possible and, looking at Kodi, asks, "Why the hell did you hit me with a box?"
"I thought you were going to yell at me for my decision."
"Oh for the love of God, I don't yell! I just came here to stomp on her neck."
Kodi frowns and asks, "Why would you stomp on her neck?"
"Because that's how I roll. Ok, so where is she?"
Something suddenly knocks him down, sending him sliding into a wall. He growls before shaking his head and spotting his attacker; a white wolf with blue and brown eyes.
"Ah, there's the she… wait…"
Looking up at Kodi, he asks, "Why do you have a wolf pup with you?"
"I have a name you know," says the white wolf pup.
"Shut up. Anyways, Kodi, what's her name?"
"Alex, her name is-"
"My name is Siku and-"
Alex rolls his eyes and says, "Yeah, whatever. Anyways, why do you have a wolf pup with you?"
"Wow… you're a jerk."
Alex turns to Siku and, towering above her, he says, "I can still squish you. So shut up."
He turns back to Kodi and asks, "Why do you have a smartass pup with you?"
"Well… it was on one of our mail runs and… I found her… alone. She lost her family so… I took her with me."
Alex rolls his eyes and says, "Ah… well great, you better tell Doc about this."
"Why?"
"Because everyone thinks you're trying to impregnate-"
"What's impregnate mean," asks Siku.
"Pups are better seen than heard. Anyways, everyone thinks you're mounting her to get her pregnant."
"They what?"
Alex shakes his head and says, "They think you're mating with her. So go tell Doc to set everything straight."
"Ok, will do."
Alex smiles and says, "Good. Now if you excuse me… I'm going to crush a ground squirrel's head."
He turns and trots away before disappearing into town.
Siku turns to Kodi and asks, "So… where are we going?"
"To Doc's place."
As Alex walks through the forest, he smells something… strange.
Deciding to investigate, Alex walks into a clearing and, as he looks around, he sees absolutely nothing of interest.
"Well this was a waste of time."
As he turns to walk away, he hears, "Alex, I've been waiting for-"
"Oh shut up. I don't play the 'I've been waiting for you' game. Only rapists and wolves who want to send you on some bullshit quest that lasts forever till you realize that you were going to succeed no matter what choice you made say that. And since you're female, I doubt you want to rape me so I'm leaving."
"I am Aniu so speak to me with some respect!"
"I don't believe in you so don't tell me about respecting you."
Taken aback by his harsh words, Aniu says, "Alex, your rage… how can you wear kindness and yet wield rage as a weapon?"
Alex turns and, looking at the spirit wolf, he says, "Because feigning kindness is easier than the real thing. And the rage… the rage has always been there. Sure it's hell, but it's what keeps me going. So don't give me your false empathy because I don't need it."
He turns around and walks away from her, growling slightly.
As he's walking through the forest, he comes into a clearing and… he sees himself.
"Ah, there's me again. Well… great."
The wolf turns… and Alex can sense the anger.
"Ah, you're upset. Great, you're probably going to tell me 'Don't become like me' or some shit. Well you can fuck off."
The other Alex approaches him and says, "Your anger… fuels you. Now it is time for you to-"
Alex starts to walk away from the wolf.
"Hey… where are you going?"
"I'd rather sleep and eat and get fat than go somewhere with myself as company."
The other Alex simply vanishes, leaving Alex alone.
"Jesus, this forest is weird. I find Aniu and then I encounter myself. What's next? Penguins?"
Perhaps he spoke to soon because all the sudden, he spots a penguin.
"Wow… I'm going now."
He walks over the flightless bird, becoming more irritated as he walked through the woods.
Continuing his adventure, Alex comes across a hole. "Yeah… go holes… fuck that."
He simply walks past it… but he suddenly collapses onto the ground in pain.
"What… What the hell?"
As he lies there, Aniu appears before him and says, "Since you are a slave to your rage maybe-"
"Why does everyone keep bothering me?"
Aniu stops and asks, "What are you talking about?"
"Oh shut up. I'm going home."
He suddenly pushes himself to his feet, though in pain, and walks away from her.
It took three hours, but Alex… found himself somewhere…
"Wait… what the hell?"
Aniu suddenly appears next to him and says, "Since you have anger within you… perhaps it is time for a change. Your anger will kill you… so I want you to let go of your anger."
"And how will I do that?"
"By saving my son."
"Oh… where's your son… who's your son?"
"Balto… he's disappeared somewhere… I want you to find him."
"And how the fuck am I supposed to-"
"First, no more cursing. Second, use your instincts. Third, by changing."
Alex simply laughs and asks, "And how the heck will I be changing?"
"Well… like this," and she pushes him off a cliff.
Surprised, he had no time to react as he fell. He just prayed that he didn't hit a wall or something similar.
That's when he landed in water. It surrounded him, threw him about, and finally he became unconscious. What struck him as odd before he got knocked out was how warm the water was.
"Uh… my head…"
"Easy there buddy, you'll be alright."
Alex opens his eyes… and all he saw was a fish with a lot of teeth. "What the heck?"
"Easy there buddy… you had quite a fall. You're alright now."
Alex slowly nods and asks, "Who are you?"
"I am Drake. If you hadn't figured it out, I'm a great white shark," and it smiles… and shows Alex more of its teeth.
He nearly fainted, but he says, "I'm… I'm Alex… I don't know how I'm talking to you, but I'm a wolf."
"A wolf? Well… you have canine features… and a shark tail," it says with a laugh.
"Yeah well… wait… what?"
He flips over and, seeing the shark was correct, he sighs and asks, "Now how am I supposed to mate?"
"Um… if that's all you're worried about, then… alright. Say, you look like prey, but you also look like a predator… come with me, I'll get you familiar with the Indian."
"What? Define Indian."
"It's an ocean."
