Chapter 10

*Gunfire*

*Cries of Dying Apes*

*Clashing Steel*

The seven dragons, Ork army, and wolf/lioness, and the masked man were coming under heavy attack by the Apes as they tried to hold a line. Suddenly Orks with rockets strapped to their backs flew overhead.

"Kamikaze Stormboyz incomin'!" yelled Bluddflag shielding his face as the stormboyz flew directly into the ground causing their rockets to explode, killing them and taking a few Apes with them.

An Ape Lackey charges Bluddflag and all the Ork war boss does is lift up his foot and...

*SCRUNCH!*

"Ewwwwwww! I stepped on somefing!" said Bluddflag wiping his foot on the grass before he returned to shooting Apes left and right.

Ice Spikes erupted underneath a group of five Apes, impaling them and then red-black lightning struck another group of twelve Apes turning them into charcoal. Klaww clutched his shoulder as smoke began rising from his scales and fur and he looked pained.

"I'm sorry. I'm out until I can replenish the Ice on my fur." said the Tiger/Dragon Hybrid before he disappeared in red-black mist.

"Why'd he leave?" said Malefor before he fired a beam of electricity at an Ape, paralyzing it before another dragon ripped it in half.

"He...has a weakness to sunlight...probably my doing..." said Fang before he crushed an Ape in his Ice-covered hands.

Suddenly a black blur shot by the defenders and rammed a sword into an Ape's chest before the figure kicked a spear into his hands and rammed it into the Ape's head behind him. The figure is a black furred wolf with white spots on his back, he has green eyes and a grey tail. He is wearing light metal armor that allows easy movement and provides mild protection from enemy attacks. A double-bladed axe is strapped to his back but he is not very muscular. Both blades on the axe look like the head of a bearded ax, and the handle was small enough to be easily used with one hand with a fang carved into both blades.

The wolf then grabbed the handle of his axe and swung in a 360 degree arc, decapitating all Apes within its reach.

"RETREAT!" yelled an Ape Commander and the surviving Ape forces began running away.

"Get back here ya pansies! Fight like an Ork!" said Bluddflag throwing a "stikky stikk bomb" (Plasma Grenade) at the retreating Apes.

*EXPLOSION*

"HA! That showed dem!" said Bluddflag holstering his weapon as the wolf put the axe back in its strap.

"How can ya even lift dat fing? It's huge and you're just a scrawny wittle fing." said Bluddflag at the wolf.

"Okay then, let's who's stronger; me or you. Arm-wrestling." said wolf.

"HA! Like ya could beat an Ork. Yer on!"

The two head over to a stump, sit around it and lock hands.

"3, 2, 1...go!" said the wolf...

*EXPLOSION*

When the dust cleared Bluddflag was seen lying in a crater as stars fluttered around his head and his eyes had a dazed look to them.

"Wha happen?" said Bluddflag.

"Appearances can be deceiving." said the wolf with a smirk.

"An Ork lost...to a wolf? Alex won't believe this..." muttered Klaxon before he fainted from shock, Klaww and Fang's mouths were open in shock. Malefor had an eye twitch as his mouth hung open in shock before he looked at the laughing Wala.

"You know this guy?" said Malefor pointing at the wolf who dusted himself off as he walked over.

"Yep." replied Wala as she calmed down.

"Hey Bluddflag, can you deal with any Apes that come here?" asked Klaxon getting up.

"Ya can't boss Orkz around!" said Bluddflag crossing his arms.

"Oh no?" said Klaxon removing his cloak and mask to reveal black dreadlocks, six scars on his face (one on the right and left eyes, and four on the left facial cheek), dragon wings, six Cynder-like horns on the back of his head, dragon tail, and blue jeans with blue-green scaled skin.

*CRACK!*

Klaxon's skull seemed to split in half without breaking.

"Look away!" said Fang covering his eyes and everyone else did so except Bluddflag.

*FLESH RIPPING, SCREECH!*

When everyone looked again, Klaxon was wearing his mask and cloak again while Bluddflag was pure white.

"W-We'll deal wif any A-Apes d-dat come by." said the War boss before he walked away.

"Well, let's head back to camp." said Klaxon eye-smiling.

"What'd you do?" said Malefor looking at the Ork war boss.

"You don't want to know." said Fang and Klaxon at the same time.

1 Hour Later; Dragon Allied Camp; Wala's hut...

"So how did you two met?" asked Malefor as he applied a red crystal to his left foreleg.

"Well..." said Wala looking thoughtful as she leaned back in a chair, the black furred wolf sitting on a spire-like wooden spike in the center of the room (imagine the Spire Jump from the Sly Cooper series). Wala was now wearing a pair of brown gauchos and a white blouse that she leaves un-tucked. She also has a brown leather duster that she leaves open. The choker that she used to have is now gone, and replaced with a silver necklace that has a turquoise gem at the end.

+FLASHBACK+

Wala sighed as she used the cold water to refresh herself and drink. She sat in a frosty area, right by a river that sprouted from an ice flow with a large rock by the side of it. She sighed as she looked off to the east, off to the tribe of Orks that she had been traveling with for the past ten years. They had been complaining about something keeping them up, so she volunteered to find it and stop it. She took a quick glance down herself. Now at the age of seventeen, she had become much taller. She had gotten new clothes, a leather vest with a wool undershirt and a pair of leather breeches. Not only that, but the speckles across her body begun to fade, some of them turning into streaks of red. Her ears pricked as she heard the strangest thing, singing.

"~Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase, Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze.~" That short song phrase was one that her mother would always sing to her after she had been bullied. The voice was a male's and a deep one, but it still rang with youth. Wala couldn't help but respond.

"~It means no worries for the rest of your days. It's our problem free philosophy, Hakuna Matata~" Wala called back. There was a shuffling sound, and a furry black head popped up from behind the rock.

"Who, and what, are you?" He asked as he stared at Wala. Wala felt her nervousness welling up. "S-shut up!" She snapped back to the black furred head.

"Hey, there is no need to be rude." He said as he jumped to the top of the rock and slid down it, letting him land right in front of Wala. She jumped back and turned her head down, not wanting to see what she was. "And that includes not looking me in the eyes." The boy asked her as he quickly took her chin in his paw and lifted her face so that he could look her in the eyes. She saw him look at her strange eyes more curiously. She didn't stop him; only let her hand drop to her short sword, ready to defend herself. He stepped back and shook his head as he chuckled.

"Those are some pretty neat eyes. Hey! I have a nickname for you; Neat Eyes." The boy stated as he smiled at her. Wala was shocked. The only other person that had reacted when they met her was Malefor. She now took time to actually look at the boy. He was a black wolf with green eyes, only appearing to be a year or so older then herself. He wore a dark grey and sleeveless tunic with a pair of black pants. Strapped to his back was a double headed axe, both blades looking like the head of a bearded ax, and the handle was small enough to be easily used with one hand and the blades had a carved fang into them.

"W-what? Y-you're not f-freaked out b-by m-me?" Wala asked in disbelief. The wolf raised an eyebrow.

"Why would I? You never did anything to me." He said as he jumped back onto his rock. Wala stared at him.

"S-sorry, everyone l-looks a-at m-me and curses me; j-just b-because of t-the way I l-look." Wala said as she looked down at the ground in sadness. "N-no o-one wants m-me. The g-group I a-am with k-keeps m-me a-around because I a-am a g-good c-cook." Wala said as her sadness returned. "N-no o-one w-will ever w-want me…" She felt the wolf's arm wrap around her back in a tight hug, which shocked her because she just met him! He had his other paw on the back of her head, as if to encourage her to cry on his shoulder.

"Guess what? Somebody will care. You just have to wait." He said as he pressed his nose to her neck fur. He pulled back a bit, looking into her eyes. "In fact, one of these days, I am gonna marry you, and prove you wrong." Wala just laughed through a sob, her mood brightening at the joke. She didn't know that it wasn't a joke, though. Strangely enough, he began to sing again.

"W-what are y-you d-doing n-now?" She stuttered out. The wolf stopped and looked down at her.

"Singing; it always makes me happy. Maybe it will work with you." He said as he smiled at her again. She smiled back this time.

"You s-sing a-a lot, you crazy howler?" She asked him. The wolf chuckled.

"I like the nickname, Howler, but my name is Vibrador. What about yours, Neat Eyes?" Vibrador said, Wala giggled a bit, something she hasn't done for a while.

"Wala. I should be going now. Don't want Bluddflagg to forget about me." She said as she pulled herself out of Vibrador's embrace. The black wolf watched as she ran away.

"Come back tomorrow?!" He yelled after her. He saw her nod and smile as she ran off. The black wolf sighed and jumped onto his rock. He began to sing again.
"~I've just seen a face, I can't forget the time or place, Where we just meet, She's just the girl for me, And I want all the world to see, We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm~"

+END FLASHBACK+

"Whoa. Wait...are you two married?" said Malefor.

The wolf and Wala nod and Malefor drops the crystal before he faints. A few minutes later he regains consciousness and sees Wala looking at him with worried eyes.

"Please tell me it was a joke." said Malefor and he groans when Wala shakes her head no.

"My best friend gets a mate before me...no fair..." muttered Malefor.

"How long have you two know each other?" asked Vibrador.

"Since I was seven and he was five." said Wala.

"We only knew each other for...what, a month?...but we were best friends. We met by me kicking three bullies butts who were picking on her." said Malefor as he got up and returned to applying the gem to the wound.

"We had some crazy adventures in that time. Remember the Vine Grinding adventure?" said Wala before Malefor's eyes widen and he drops the gem again.

"No! Don't you dare tell anyone about that!" said Malefor but Wala ignored him.

+FLASHBACK; Jungle+

Malefor and Wala were sliding along vines that were thick enough to support their weight and Aiden was watching them. Malefor jumped across a gape between two vines but he missed the second vine by at least two inches to the right and he tried flapping his wings to fly but they did nothing for him.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" screamed Malefor as he fell thirty feet in the air before...

*CRACK!*

"[High-pitched] AAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!" screamed Malefor as he landed on a rock in a painful position and Aiden winced at the sight while Wala burst out laughing.

"[High-pitched] Not funny!" squeaked Malefor before he slide off the rock into the water before he shot out of there as a Gator tried to eat him and a purple blur is then on Aiden's head, shaking in fear while clutching the Earth dragon's head for dear life.

+END FLASHBACK+

"Okay Wala. You told your mate my most embarrassing and painful moment. How about I tell him yours?" said Malefor with a sinister smirk.

"Y-You wouldn't!" said Wala, her eyes going wide.

"Yes I would. Now then, where to begin...oh I know! Wala..." began Malefor before the wolf/lioness tackled him and put her hand over his mouth.

"You don't need to hear it Howler." said Wala nervously.

"I'm actually intrigued." said the black wolf and Wala's eyes widen in horror as Malefor smirks in victory.
