Author's Note: Whooo! Here's a new Chapter for ya.
Ok, I know some people out there are confused about the last Episode so now I have to clear a few things before I begin.
One, I have been asked "How is Black Gallon alive? Didn't Jon kill him off?" Yes he did, but for this story the Black Talbain/Gallon is going to be named just "Gallon" to keep confusion to a minimum.
Two, who is the "master" Gallon, was talking about? Well that and Joe's unknown power will be explained very soon. So, just keep reading.
(Warning: Possible harsh language, you have been warned.)
Episode 4: Shinning Defender of the Night
The black colored werewolf watched as the converted human began to approach him. Joe was only a few feet away from the assailant when he caught a glimpse of the motionless Felicia. He grabbed the left shoulder of his cloak and threw it over Felicia as she laid face up on the ground. The soft cloak covers the unresponsive cat woman from the her to the base of her neck. Joe looks up at Gallon and stares him down. Rage and frustration runs through his aqua colored eyes as he speaks to the black werewolf.
"You cannot defeat me Gallon." Joe bends his neck to the left and then to his right cracking and loosening his body for the upcoming fight. He grabs his left and hand cracks all of his knuckles in one try, then he moves to his other hand and does the same. As he warms up to do battle with the black Gallon, he doesn't notice that Gallon has charged a large "Wolf Beam" and is ready to fire at him.
"Die human!" Gallon releases all of the stored energy at Joe in an attempt to end the battle before it can truly begin. The attack engulfs the human and explodes blowing a large section of earth and the forest into nothingness. "Ha! How's that for power?" A gust of wind blows the dust away to reveal an unharmed Joe standing only a mere six inches away from the edge of the freshly devastated area. How did he avoid my attack? It has to be a…
Before Gallon can complete his thought Joe catches him off guard and proceeds to slam a hard left into his stomach. The sudden attack knocks Gallon back a few inches and he grabs the midsection of his body as the effect of Joe's punch takes its full effect. As Gallon recovers, he tries to sense Joe's location by targeting his energy signature. The only thing Gallon is able to detect is Felicia's energy and the Spirit-ward that is still active.
Several tense and silent minutes pass since Joe disappeared from sight. Where is he? Now Gallon is looking around him frantically trying to find his opponent before he can attack again. "Where the hell are you dirty human!"
Joe's voice echoes through the air a response that shakes Gallon to the core. "I'm behind you." Immediately Gallon turns around and fires off a volley of "Wolf Beams" into the darkness hoping to kill the strange human. His beams destroy more of the forest but are not able to produce the body of Joe. Gallon takes a step back and struck in the face by the heel of a white sneaker. He falls back and comes face to face with Joe. His aqua eyes burn through Gallon's mind as Joe begins to throw a long, continuous series of punches that knock the off guard werewolf around like a pinball. One last punch drops Gallon to his back and he forced to look up at the human who has just knocked him senseless.
Slowly, Gallon rises to his feet and prepares to counter-attack Joe's assault. "I won't allow you to defeat me!" Gallon charges at Joe and slams a right-handed punch to the left side of Joe's face. The attack forces Joe's face to look away as Gallon keeps his fist to Joe's face. Both of Joe's eyes are shut tightly as Gallon gloats about his successful attack. "Now what! There's no way you could go unharmed from a direct attack in a defenseless stance. Once I get through with you those cats will be next." Joe opens his eyes and looks at Gallon who throws a left punch for his face. This time Joe catches the punch in his right hand and tightens his grip on Gallon's fist. The werewolf is shocked that he cannot pull himself free from his opponent's grasp.
"Play time is over wolf boy."
Joe crushes Gallon's fist in his hand thus shattering every bone in his left fist into bone shards. The werewolf howled in pain and backed away from the silver haired human. He grabbed his hand and finds that every bone has been broken into fragments. Gallon is now enraged more than ever at the current condition of his hand after being broken by a human. The busted hand hangs limp at Gallon's wrist as he desperately tries to come up with a plan to defeat Joe.
I have to come up with something or I'm dead… Joe slowly walks towards the crippled Gallon, his long silver hair sways back and forth as he closes in for the final move. A flash of light passes by Joe's aqua colored eyes which causes Gallon to panic and looks behind him for some kind of inspiration. He finds Felicia still lying on the ground with the black cloak she gave Joe covering her body. A sinister plan enters Gallon's mind as Joe closes in. Gallon turns around and enters a strange fighting position.
"You know, those cats that are trapped in the seal are going to die if they are not released soon."
"I'll save them after I end your life Gallon."
"Not if I kill your friend first!"
Joe stops and looks past the posing werewolf and realizes the current situation. "Gallon, don't do it!" Joe dashes for the black werewolf in hope of interrupting the attack. The ground begins to shake violently as Gallon opens his right hand and aims it at the fallen Felicia.
"Dragoon Cannon" A large flaming snake-shaped dragon crashes out of the cloud filled sky. It roars loudly and quickly descends towards the unconscious Felicia. Gallon laughs evilly as the completed attack approaches its target. "You have to make a decision human… the cat or her friends. Which is it going to be?"
Gallon turns around and is clotheslined by Joe's extended right arm. The stunned werewolf spins around the arm and lies motionless face down in the ground. I choose both. Joe vanishes and reappears standing at Felicia's side. The heat from Gallon's attack begins to affect the surrounding area. Grass begins to catch fire as the dragon closes in for the kill. Joe clenches his right fist and jumps at the descending dragon.
Please let this work… Joe's right fist is empowered by an unknown energy. He draws it back behind his body and flexes his arm. "Chaos Breaker" Joe swings the glowing fist with authority and connects with the head of the fiery dragon. The collision deflects the attack away from Felicia and locks onto the Spirit-ward around Felicia's house. The redirected dragon crashes into the barrier and produces an extremely large explosion of fire and energy. Joe is midair when he is caught in the shockwave of the explosion and smashes him into the ground. As Joe lies on his back looking up at the clouds, his hair returns to its original color and length just as he loses consciousness.
A strange black shadow engulfs Gallon and pulls him into the ground as the other cat women rush to Felicia's side and hope for her safety. Only a few short steps away from Felicia, they find Joe lying unconscious without a single injury on his body. The two unconscious bodies are carried inside the house as the night falls onto the world.
Meanwhile, Gallon is still knocked out as his body floats in empty space. A hooded figure with a long black robe materializes into the empty space and pulls out a small black stone and points it at Gallon. The strange rock emits a violet aura and absorbs Gallon's body into the crystal-like object and vanishes. The unknown figure waves an arm and creates a viewing portal for his entertainment. A picture of the silver haired Joe protecting Felicia from the flaming dragon appears in the portal.
"Is the one this world has chosen to protect it? He won't last two minutes against me." The portal suddenly shatters into nothingness as the figure floats away from it. "Gallon proved his usefulness; he found the one whose body now houses the legendary "Chaos Stone". Now, all I have to do is remove the stone and my conquest of both worlds will be unstoppable!"
