I am quite happy that a fair number of people like this story enough to fav and or follow it. Thanks to all of those who have left reviews.
On that note this chapter reveals some of Mad Dog's past and why he doesn't trust people like Satellizer (who I will call "Stella") and it is the start of the main Pandoras of West Genetics wanting to have Mad Dog be their Limiter. Read, review and enjoy :)
Stella stood there amazed that Mad Dog had a Volt Weapon because she had never seen him summon one until then. The third year launched the floating daggers at Mad Dog who caught them bare handed. "Dodge this for me so I don't have to clean this mess up." Mad Dog said then disappeared from everyone's sight to appear behind the third year Pandora in an instant. Before Mad Dog could drive his wrist blades into the third year Pandora's head she moved out of the way in a blur, but she had a gash on her back from his attack.
"So you can use Accel Turn?!" The Pandora said then charged Mad Dog and the two of them had a speed fight.
"It's all too easy for me to use Accel Turn." Mad Dog said then he created three clones of himself. "However I prefer to use it with clones." He added then charged at the Pandora when his wound reopened gushing emerald green blood. The Pandora summoned one of her daggers and was about to stab Mad Dog who was lying on the floor when Stella put her Volt Weapon's blade to the Junior's neck.
"If you lay one finger on him..." Stella said taking off her glasses while looking firmly at the older Pandora. "You're going to regret it..."
"I'm going to regret it...you say? It seems you are underestimating me considerably." The third year Pandora responded before flipping Stella over her onto the roof violently. "You've gotten in over your head little girl." She said then summoned the rest of her Volt Weapon which was five more daggers. "I'll show you the difference between a Junior and a Sophomore." Then the Junior Pandora launched her daggers at Stella who parried them all. She held one of her daggers before moving behind Stella in an instant with the ability she had used on Mad Dog earlier, Accel Turn. Stella and the Junior Pandora then started to fight each other at a speed that made it to where Kazuya couldn't see what was going on, other than the clashes of blades removing some of the roof's concrete.
"I'm impressed that you happen to know a high end skill like that. You shouldn't have learned something like that in the sophomore curriculum yet! You're just as the rumors say!" The third year Pandora commented before her three limiters joined in and created a Freezing Field which caught Stella in the center of it, along with Kazuya who was just barely in rang for it. The elder Pandora walked up to the immobilized Stella and cut the front of her uniform exposing her chest. The third year then moved behind Stella while one of her Limiters began to walk up on the trapped second year.
Suddenly a feeling of pure overwhelming power fell over everyone on the roof and the second floor of the school building. The sensation of power that radiated from Mad Dog fell on everyone on the roof, but most heavily on the Junior Pandora and her three Limiters. The aura of power shredded the three Limiter's Freezing Field in a matter of seconds. Kazuya decided it would be best to leave and go get the student council president in hopes that she would be able to stop the fight, and possibly prevent a death.
"Never agian..." Mad Dog muttered in a growling tone under his breath as his body glowed like it had during his fight against the second year class of Pandoras and their Limiters.
"For some reason this aura feels different than the one he had during the arena fight..." Satellizer thought to herself as she saw the lose pieces of rock from her clashes with the Junior Pandora, Miyabi Kanadzuki one better known for her habit of pairing with good looking males than for her combat skills, floated up and disintegrate. The three Limiters were the first to fall pray to Mad Dog's rage. One was smashed into the side of the roof entrance while the other two were slammed head first into the roof violently spilling blood from both of them. Mad Dog let go of the faces of the last two of Miyabi's Limiters before he extended his fingernails into black and gray colored claws that looked to be sharp and deadly.
Miyabi's eyes widened in pure terror as she saw Mad Dog start to walk towards her with his crimson eyes focused on her solely before vanishing from her sight. A moment after he had paused he was on the other side of Miyabi and blood dripped from his claws. Then Miyabi's clothing parted and gashes all over her body sprayed blood as she fell down. Mad Dog walked over to Miyabi's body to stand over her before he readied his left hand to stab her in the heart and kill her.
Just as Mad Dog was about to kill Miyabi the student council president Chiffon Fairchild came out of the stair well to find the shocking scene and Mad Dog ready to kill a third year. "Stop right there." She said loudly as her aid caught up with her. Mad Dog looked over at Chiffon with eyes that displayed rage and will despite the fact his eyes didn't look like a human's at all. For Mad Dog what Miyabi had tried to do reminded him all too much of what had happened to his sister eight years ago when he was powerless to protect her. He held plenty of rage and anger because the Nova had killed his beloved elder sister and he never had forgiven himself for being powerless at the time of his sister's death. Chiffon hid behind her student council aid before speaking again. "I'd be really grateful if you would comply..." She added then Mad Dog stabbed Miyabi her gut instead of her heart.
"This must be why he earned the title of 'The Beast' and his nickname' Mad Dog'." Chiffon thought feeling the raw power coming from Mad Dog which scared her but she managed to hide it from her face. "I want to know why he viciously attacked a third year like this, along with her Limiters and the one from earlier."
Mad Dog got up and closed his eyes momentarily before opening them again and the power that radiated from him vanished instantly. "Happy now?" He grumbled to Chiffon as he changed his fingernails back to human.
"He had been quite calm and somewhat relaxed when I was talking to him earlier...so what caused him to go nuts like this?" Stella thought to herself but felt that it would be a good idea to wait before asking Mad Dog why he had snapped. Mad Dog quickly glanced at Stella making her heart beat faster for some reason, that she couldn't figure out, before he teleported to the beach to relax and mediate to ease the fury he felt when he was watching The Untouchable Queen fight against Miyabi.
Yumi ran up to the roof to see what was going on and found a mess of blood and bodies that were the third year Pandora Miyabi and her three Limiters. "What happened here and who did this!?" Yumi demanded then she looked at Stella thinking she was the one who was responsible for the bloody mess.
"It was the werewolf." Stella said before adding. "He snapped and viciously attacked Miyabi and her Limiters."
"The werewolf you say?" Yumi said surprised but something about him made her feel a little uneasy, as if he was hiding some important fact about himself. She had heard that his sister had died right before his eyes protecting him and that he had snapped after seeing it happen. "Could he have snapped because he was put in a similar situation to when his sister died?" Yumi mused in her head, but she did want to ask Mad Dog in person.
On the nearby beach of the island that the Gentetics academy was on Mad Dog had lied down to watch the sky and try to think rationally through his anger, in an attempt to calm himself down. "I wonder if the class rankings here are like a military type of absolutes...If that's the case I'm in for some fun with the third years of the academy." Mad Dog thought to himself before speaking to himself quietly. "They won't be able to touch me anyway..." After a half hour power nap Mad Dog went back to the academy to attend his first class. He went to the door of the class he was supposed to be in first to see a note on the door that said "Mock battles outside near the track". Then he teleported to where his class was only to find himself in between two Pandoras fighting each other in a fair duel.
"You again!" Ganessa said with surprise as her Volt weapon was grabbed bare handed by Mad Dog with his left hand as well as the other Pandora's two swords in his right hand.
"Yo!" Mad Dog said with a grin as the class was stunned that he had grabbed both of the Volt weapons bare handed and that he wasn't damaged at all from the force of either weapon.
"And you are...?" The teacher said looking at her attendance list while the sparing fight had temporarily stopped.
"Zair Ragefang or Mad Dog, which might be listed instead of my actual name." Mad Dog said as the teacher found his name on her attendance roster. "By the way you two can continue that little sparing match of yours when I let go." He added then let go of both Volt weapons before using Double Accel to get out of the way of the two Pandoras. The students gasped at mostly the same time for the fact that Mad Dog had used a high end skill such as Double Accel so causally as if it was like breathing to him. Ganessa a minute later, after Mad Dog had gotten out of her way, won the sparing match she was in then did something rather unintelligent, she challenged Mad Dog to a sparing match.
"As the number one ranked second year I hear by challenge you to a sparing match Mad Dog." Ganesssa said full of pride at being the first ranked sophomore, although that was before the werewolf Mad Dog had showed up.
"That was rather foolish of you, but to be nice I'll accept your request." Mad Dog said with a grin knowing he was going to have his fun toying with her, and not taking her seriously.
"That's suicide!" One of the Pandoras in the class yelled at Ganessa who simply ignored the girl knowing that what she had done would at least put her back into the recovery center she had recently gotten out of from his sophomore class challenge.
"I want you two to have a fair fight without the aid of a Limiter, which means Mad Dog that you can't use Freezing. Got it?" The instructor said as Mad Dog nodded even though he had never planned to use Freezing against the current rank one sophomore Ganessa Roland in the first place, since he wouldn't need it. Ganessa brought out her Volt Weapon, called Chains of Binding while Mad Dog reached for something in one of his pockets. "I'd like for you to summon your Volt Weapon Mad Dog."
"None of my Volt Weapons will be necessary for this little sparring match." Mad Dog said then fished out a book, the same one that Ganessa remembered him reading during the time he fought the sophomore class. "Bring it on." He added not looking up from the book. Fueled by anger Ganessa launched her chains at Mad Dog who evaded them with ease. With hardly any pause She tried attacking Mad Dog but none of her attacks landed on him. Then she made the ends of her four chains come together to form a triangle before sending it at Mad Dog's head. Mad Dog just stood there to everyone's amazement before grabbing the triangle bare handed while still reading the book.
"Seriously I want to see his Volt Weapon!" One Pandora commented sounding excited.
"That guy did say "weapons" with an 's', you know? That implies he has at least two Volt Weapons possibly more." Another Pandora countered ruining the others excitement.
"You should just forget about trying to beat me Ganessa, it's hopeless if this is all you can do without the aid of Pandora Mode." Mad Dog said speaking the cold truth that Ganessa herself didn't want to believe, however she knew he was right. "Besides your ranking wont change based on this. You'll be rank one, for now." he added then applied pressure to Ganessa's Volt Weapon causing it to shatter.
"I guess you were right Mad Dog, you win this sparring match." The instructor said then Mad Dog walked off to the side to read his book.
"The werewolf there does look quite powerful as you have said Creo." Arnett commented while looking out a window to where Mad Dog's class was doing sparring matches.
"You never got to fight really fight him did you? Or have you been hit by him before?" Creo responded knowing that she would have to go all out in order to do anything to the werewolf.
"I never did get to fight him and I have yet to get hit by that guy either." Arnett said having a sense that if her and Creo teamed up against Mad Dog they wouldn't be able to win, however one rather unusual thought crossed her mind. "I wonder if I can get him as my Limiter..."
"Elizabeth, what do you suggest we do? Since he did nearly kill a third year recently." Creo said to the rank twp of the Junior class Elizabeth Mably. Elizabeth ran a hand through her silky, silver colored, hair.
"We do nothing." Elizabeth answered and Creo instantly knew why Elizabeth had answered that way. It would take Elizabeth, Creo, Arnett, and Attia all in Pandora Mode just to make Mad Dog begin to fight seriously, if not more than just the four of them. "If he becomes my Limiter I would be unstoppable." Elizabeth thought to herself knowing that Mad Dog was a unique Limiter and the strongest one in the world.
"WHAT?!" Attia Simmons (rank 5 and known for her schemes) barked in protest. "You want us to do nothing and let the pride of the junior's get assaulted?!" As she spoke her two white side of the head pony tails shock showing how irritated she was.
"That's exactly what I am telling you to do." Elizabeth said coldly as Attia calmed down a little. "There is now way all four of us could take down that werewolf in a Carnival, let alone kill him..."
"I feel sorry for sophomores..." Arnett said confusing the other three.
"What do you mean by that?" Elizabeth said with a raised eye brow.
"Just because they have him in their class. When the next second year Carnival happens he will take rank one and keep it without even trying." Arnett explained.
At lunch time Mad Dog couldn't even get any burgers because he had gotten swarmed by Pandoras asking him to be their Limiter which had forced him to leave the building and lose them on the campus outside. Because of the Pandoras asking him to be their Limiter and the time it took to lose them while running he didn't get enough time to get something from the cafeteria. Only a few minutes after lunch had ended it began to rain so Mad Dog just stayed outside in the rain knowing that the Pandoras wouldn't come chasing him, however someone else did find him.
"Is it alright if I have a word with you Mad Dog?" Yumi asked as he nodded his head then they headed to the detention block to talk.
"What is it that you want to ask?" Mad Dog said sipping a cup of hot chocolate that Yumi had made for him while she drank coffee. "I can smell that you want to know a few things about me."
"You can smell that?" Yumi said completely caught off guard.
"My sense of smell is roughly 400,000 times better than a human's sense of smell. Which is still multitudes better than Pandoras." Mad Dog answered while looking at his cup of hot chocolate. "The Stigma I have also increase what I can do with my five senses."
"Why did you snap on the roof yesterday as well as attack a male student who was trying to talk to you?" Yumi asked with a serious expression then Mad Dog sighed.
"I probably should have told the chairwoman but I guess I'll tell you instead." Mad Dog replied with a hand over his face and sighed. "The reason is simply because of what I am. An aberration, abomination, monster, or whatever you want to call me along those lines. I am a example of the forgotten breed, which needless to say isn't a normal werewolf by any stretch of the imagination."
"Just because your not a normal werewolf?" Yumi asked interrupting Mad Dog because curiosity got the best of her.
"I wasn't done explaining." Mad Dog countered as Yumi nodded her head. "Since I am one of the forgotten breed I was viewed as a monster and considered an outcast. That lead to me getting treated very poorly. It didn't really bother me except for the many beatings I received from my father and some from my mother..."
"Your parents abused you because you are one of the 'forgotten breed'?" Yumi asked seeing the logic that the abuse from his father made Mad Dog a bit untrusting towards those who somehow reminded him of the abuse he suffered at the hands of his parents, or possibly the horrible treatment from others on his wold.
"Yes." He answered without looking up or drinking from the cup. "My father regularly tried to kill me, but he never could actually manage to do so. Most of the time my sister would stop him before he could kill me. After I got my sister's stigma implanted and broke out of the research facility I stopped by my father's house and killed him. Killing him did give me some relief but that didn't mean the horrid memories of the beatings went away. Because of all that I really don't trust males and usually do my best to avoid contact since it does have a tendency to bring up the memories. I ended up killing my mother when I slaughtered my family and friends after seeing my sister die."
"Would I be safe to assume that you being treated like an outcast has also made you wary of females too, besides being abused by your mother a bit?" Yumi asked feeling sorry that such a strong Pandora like Mad Dog had to endure such harsh conditions growing up.
"Basically." Mad Dog admitted. "However I am quite a bit more tolerant to females touching me, but I do have my limits and things I won't tolerate." He said then gulped down the rest of the contents of the cup as if the hot liquid were cold instead.
"Just so you know the structure of the school rank is absolute like in the military. Because you attacked and nearly killed a third year student the other third years are likely to punish you."
"They won't do anything. Because it would take to many of them to even begin to make me fight seriously." Mad Dog replied. "But that won't stop them from asking me to be their Limiter...If nothing else THAT will be more of a problem for me." Mad Dog thought to himself. "Is that all you wanted to talk about?" He asked as Yumi nodded her head yes then he put the cup on the desk next to him and left. Mad Dog left the detention center and found that the weather had returned to being sunny. He walked briskly towards the second year male dorm. The dorm room that was his was a corner room numbered 108. He was amazed at the size of it since the on he had used on his home world were about a fifth the size of his current room. Mad Dog went to the bed and lied down on it staring at the ceiling until he heard a knock on the door.
Mad Dog took off his black shirt but wisely kept his pants on before walking up to the door to open it. The first thing he noticed before putting his hand on the door nob was the overly strong smell of perfume which assaulted his nose just about as much as getting hit with a 25 ton wrecking ball. He put his left hand over his nose in a futile attempt to block the smell as well as to hide the blood that slowly oozed from his nose.
"Hey Mad Dog are you there?" Said a female on the other side of the door. Her voice sounding rather familiar to him.
"Who wants to see me now?" Mad Dog thought then he figured out quickly who it was, Arnett McMillian. A third year Pandora that was ranked fourth among the juniors. He opened the door to see the red head in a rather distracting silver dress. "What are you doing here senpai?" Mad Dog asked as a little trickle of emerald green blood dripped from his left hand onto the floor. With his shirt off Arnett was able to get a really good look at Mad Dog's body build to find it quite appealing, at least in his human form.
"Care to go out on a date with me?" Arnett asked with a grin on her face while Mad Dog looked confused as if he had never heard of what she was talking about.
