Two Brothers

Prologue

"Fang, be careful. You know how mom gets when you get hurt!" said Claw, a Tiger/Dragon Hybrid with brownish-gold scales and fur with black stripes along his back with an orange underbelly, three horns that curved back and down, a fuzzy tail, and red demonic eyes and he was ten-years-old. Claw was also considered a runt for his age.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." said Fang climbing up the rock wall to get at a solid chunk of gold stuck between two rocks. Fang was a Lion/Dragon Hybrid with gold scales and fur along with a tan underbelly, a fuzzy tail like his younger brother but it was black, gold eyes, and a tuft of black fur on his head and around his neck. He was thirteen-years-old.

Both were brothers and the sons of Tyrannis and Emerald.

Fang got his hands/paws on the chunk of gold and pulled with all his strength and well, it was a little too much as the chunk broke free from its prison causing him to lose his balance and nearly topple off the side of the cliff which he did but his younger brother caught him and dropped him safely on the ground before landing on the ground himself.

"I told you to be careful! But do you ever listen to me? Nooooo. You go and get into trouble and I have to save your sorry a$$!" said Claw pacing back and forth in front of his brother.

"Sorry. Sheesh, you need to lighten up Claw." said Fang crossing his arms.

"Lighten up? LIGHTEN UP?! How about you quit being so adventurous in your life and calm down! I am perfectly calm!" said Claw glaring at his older brother.

*SMACK!*

Fang slapped Claw across the face with a closed-claw backhand, knocking Claw out of his rant.

"I went overboard again didn't I?" said Claw looking away.

"Yes." sighed Fang.

"Sorry."

"Hey, it's not your fault Claw. Besides, I should take your advice I guess." said Fang putting a hand/paw on his brother's shoulder, "Come on. Let's get to the Academy before we're late."

"Race ya!" said Claw taking off.

"Hey! Get back here!" said Fang chasing after his younger, smaller, and more agile brother.

Academy; 45 Minutes Later

The two arrive at the classroom, both panting and out of breath. The cheetah teacher sees them both and gives them a stern glare, Claw more so.

"Sorry, we're late." said Fang rubbing his neck sheepishly.

"Fine, just don't let it happen again. Take your seat." said the teacher and Fang complied and Claw was about to do the same but was stopped by the teacher.

"Claw, detention!"

Claw's mouth dropped at that but closed it and glared at her before he grudgingly took his seat, tapping his claws quietly on the desktop.

'Why is it that Fang got off easy, but I got detention? Did she not see us both, is it something I did? Why does everyone seem so...cruel to me? Well...almost everyone...' thought Claw before the teacher handed out yesterday's history test back to the class and when he got his back, his eyes widened.

'A "C-"?! What? But I thought-' yelled Claw in his mind before he noticed the handwriting after the part where you fill in your name and instantly analyzed the writing. It did not match his, or his brother's handwriting but it matched the teacher's and he noticed the faint outline of his brother's name underneath. His hand clenched the paper into a crinkled mess.

'So the teacher switched our papers? Can't let "Fang's little brother" get anything good, eh? Why is it that he gets everything, yet I get nothing?!' snarled Claw in his mind before he took a deep breath to calm himself before his...hidden element came out. He learned the hard way of what happens when his anger gets out of hand and it is worse than any dragon with a Dark Form.

He looked towards his brother and saw the confused expression on his brother's face before he looked at Claw and figured it out and the two shared a knowing look and Fang raised his hand.

"Yes Fang?" said the teacher politely.

"Uh, Mrs. Longshot, I think you messed up with mine and Claw's tests because our handwriting does NOT match what is on these papers with our names." said Fang, unsure at first but gained confidence near the end. Claw smirked inside his mind as he believed the teacher would listen to FANG.

"Don't be ridiculous. You did wonderful Fang, your brother only did a half-a$$ job. There was no mistake." said the teacher smiling too politely.

Claws blood boiled at that.

'Saying I did a half-a$$ job?! What is with the teaching staff?! Do they want me to be nothing more than adequate?! Never stepping above my PERFECT brother?! Always being in HIS shadow?!' thought Claw in anger.

Everyone's eyes widened in fear as red-black lightning began dancing around Claw as his hand tightened around the test before it burst into red-black flames.

"Claw! Calm down!" said Fang grabbing his brother's shoulder and the red-black lightning stopped.

"Sorry brother." said Claw grabbing the ashes of the test and disappearing in red-black mist.

"That runt is gonna kill us one of these days!"

"Somebody should put that brat out of his misery before it's too late!"

"I heard he nearly killed someone in combat training!"

These were the murmurs Fang heard among the class and the other various inhabitants of WarFang and he just shook his head and sighed.

Outdoor Sparring Arena

Claw looked at the ashes in his hands before he closed his eyes in concentration and had the red-black lightning engulf the ashes and it slowly reverted back to its former state, almost brand new too. Once it was done, he smirked and put it into the backpack-like object he had on his back and began looking around to find his brother when a big Earth-Fire dragon pushed him forward and he landed hard on his snout.

"Well, well, well, looky here boys, the freak is here." said Rupture, a local bully, roughly 18-years-old.

"Back off Rupture, I'm not in the mood for your games." said Claw putting a ton of sarcasm on the last part. Whenever his brother wasn't around he could be very...sadistic almost and incredibly sarcastic too.

"What you gonna go cry to your big brother freak? Like he cares about a runt and a freak like you!" said Rupture sending his flaming mace-like tail into Claw's face who staggered back and spit out a wad of purple blood.

"See?! You don't even bleed the correct color! Blood is 'posed to be red freak!"

Rupture suddenly felt a tapping on his shoulder and turned around to get a giant spiked mace to the face sending him flying.

"Leave, him, alone." growled Trench his size intimating everybody before he turned his attention to Claw, "You okay?"

"Yeah. *spits out more purple blood* Thanks." said Claw wiping off his lip.

"No problem." said Trench before he beckoned Claw closer who complied.

"[Whispers into Claw's ear] I'm on your side. Don't forget it."

Claw nodded and walked off and Trench noticed the ref's glare as Claw walked off and Trench narrowed his eyes at the Fire Dragon.

Later; Academy Office

Tyrannis sighed as he listened to the principal's false accusations. He could tell they were false due to the glares Claw and Fang sent at the principal.

"...He attacked one of our students for no reason! Caused the kid to spit out blood!" ranted the dragon, a Dream Dragon.

"Okay then, say I...believe you. What now?" said Tyrannis, sarcasm showing on the "believe" bit.

"I suggest expelling him and/or execution."

The dragon sealed his own grave because the next thing the dragon knew was a metal fist tightened around his neck and two Shattered Eyes glaring into his teal eyes.

"Suggest me killing my own flesh and blood again and you WON'T see another sunrise." snarled Tyrannis before he released the old dragon.

"And another thing, how do you explain an eyewitness saying he had to stop Rupture from hurting Claw, hmm? And it was CLAW who spit out blood!"

"Obviously, the brat brainwashed the eyewitness to change his story, either that or he threatened the poor kid." said the Principal calmly and Tyrannis smirked.

"Funny, 'cause the eyewitness terrified everybody else." said Tyrannis as he snapped his fingers and Trench entered and the Principal instantly went pale.

"Now then, about the two's tests..." said Tyrannis leaning on the desk, a dangerous grin on his face.
