A/N It seems I forgot to mention something, apparently my mind was working in different story lines and different times Like the times with Cole, Sub, Cuddles and Handy were the same time with Stripes, Starla, and the rest of the group, but what happened to Belize was earlier I don't know why I didn't see that before, all well now we got things somewhat back on track lets continue ( Now all three locations are caught up to actual time where they all occur at the same time.)
Gin walked up to the group and started trying to talk to everyone, but because she wasn't accustomed to social groups she just tried the simple things she learned like going and shaking hands, but everyone didn't want to shake her hands. Most were still shocked from the sudden mood change, and Stripes kept having a suspicious feeling about her, that was tearing at her mind.
Gin felt a little relieved she didn't have to touch any of their hands, she was just attempting to, just to make herself look friendlier. Well this group seems to be not as trusting any more, that's good and bad, but I need to make sure that I have to be extremely careful with how this goes.Gin just smiled and let her hand fall and everyone just sat there at an awkward moment just looking around trying to think of something to say, but no one knew what to say.
"Well someone has to say something; I'm not good at starting a conversation…" Gin started to say, but there was rustling in the bushes. "Okay what is it with everyone coming out of the bushes around here?" Stripes, Splendid, and Shifty said simultaneously.
It was just a little chicken that came out, it was just looking around for food until it noticed everyone looking at it, then it just started to run away. Everyone was silent and went back to just talking.
"So, any way… anyone has any questions I'll try to answer with what I know." Shifty and Stripes were the only two to attempt asking questions at least in the beginning. "How do you know Belize?" Stripes said, Gin sat there and started to think of something, that wasn't revenge oriented, and then it came to her "I know him from a friend of mine, sadly he's no longer here." Gin tried to make a tear from her eye, but it was a little hard for her, but luckily Splendid was trying to scratch an itch on his shoulder and kicked some dirt into Gin's eyes and made them teary.
Stripes was still looking at Gin suspiciously, but didn't see her as a major threat to ruin anything, but she kept a constant eye on every action Gin did. Gin took notice of this and kept up her act like she was an innocent bystander who happened to cross the group of hunters looking for someone and then offering to help them, knowing she's putting her "life" at risk.
Gin started thinking to herself. Those damn tigers are the only threat to my plans I will have to take both down, but how can I do that alone while keeping cover. Then the bushes rustled again "Oh come on really, another visitor." After the rustling stopped a couple shadows started to walk out into the clearing.
"Hey guys, we found them, hurry up they are in the clearing." Everyone just had their weapons pointed at the two shadows and then once they turned around and took notice of all the weapons pointed at them. "Whoa, whoa, whoa we are friends here, I think." One said. "Wait a minute, Handy is that you?" Shifty said trying to see if it was, once the shadows came into visible light, everyone just relaxed a little.
Then out of the side, two more figures jumped through and they were all relieved that everyone there wasn't kill each other worthy enemies, but Sub against Handy and Cuddles, but they are over that for now.
"Its good too finally see someone from the outside." Tyrell said going up to Cuddles and handy and forcing them into a group hug. After he finished hugging Cuddles and Handy Tyrell noticed another butterfly that was completely different that he seen from the others.
Gin was just sitting there watching the reunion and noticed that Scar and Tyrell were away from the group and figured to try and take one silently, but which one. Gin walked over to the bag that still contained the diced flesh of Mole and pulled out Belize's crossbow, and took aim Scar started to hear the trigger mechanism of the crossbow and told everyone to get down, Gin took a shot before he said it, but failed to hit her target, she quickly concealed the crossbow and got down like everyone else.
"What the hell Scar cant you see we were trying to give these guys info about what we went through?" Stripes said, but Scar just walked up to her started to stare her down a little, Stripes not the kind to step down started to give her own glare back, neither of the tigers wanted to admit defeat so they both called a truce, but then scar pointed to the tree and there was a crossbow bolt hanging from the tree.
Everyone had surprised gasps, even Gin playing like she didn't know about it. "Who was it targeting?" Lifty said, everyone looked around and tried to find any shadow in the trees "Belize, we know that was you, you better just give up now, its thirteen to one and we have war experience on our side." Scar said while looking around in circles the all the trees in the area. Stripes was looking at the trajectory of the bolts path trying to conclude where it came from and who was the target.
Tyrell getting bored of the hunting for someone that doesn't want to be found that easily just figured he wouldn't be in the area, if he was the one on the run from people he wouldn't stay any where near the scene. So Tyrell just started to follow the butterfly trying to catch it, not paying any attention that it was leading him away from the group.
Tyrell and the butterfly are a far distance from the group and then the butterfly lands once more, Tyrell got near and was about to catch it, but felt something drip on his nose, he looked up and saw Petunia's nearly decomposing corpse hanging like meat at a slaughter house. Tyrell started to feel sick about this, but then fell over a tree root sticking out of the ground.
He hit his head pretty hard against the tree it knocked him out, when Tyrell opened his eyes he was in a magical land, where he saw Toothy every where and they all wearing a shirt that said 'Tyrell is my BF back off' Tyrell got up and started to walk over to the first Toothy he saw and gave him a hug, but the second Tyrell did that the Toothy he hugged turned into a giant bee and had a large stinger.
"What the heck is going on?" then he looks around and saw that all the Toothys were staring at him and then a large wind of buzzing sound came out of no where and all their bodies just split apart in half right down the middle like a cocoon and they were all giant bees.
"Welcome to Hell Tyrell, the place where your fantasies, torment your soul for all eternity." The bee that Tyrell hugged said and then it started laughing a deep and dark laugh that sounded more bone chilling then a demonic laugh.
Tyrell opened his eyes and saw that he was in the clearing along with everyone else, "Hey guys, I just had a strange nightmare." Everyone looked at him, but Tyrell saw that they looked different, all of their eyes wasn't there and they all held parts of his body, Tyrell knew it was his because the animal body he saw them rip to shreds was that of a wolf, and Stripes was holding on of the hand paws and it had a black glove with a pink stripe.
"What is going on here?" Then he heard a laugh again Gin was walking over to him, "I do hope you enjoy the show, I do so love the Myrospecaio Resgriesho a rare butterfly that can only be found in the forbidden forest, it's a magnificent species, and it releases a toxin that makes strong hallucinations…" Gin then smiled and looked around then all of a sudden broke apart and each piece was turned into the butterfly that Tyrell was following.
Then he heard a disembodied voice of Gin continuing her little story. "….and the best part about it is, what ever happens in this hallucination happens in reality." The butterflies start to each fly over Tyrell and he was running around screaming for help trying to get the butterflies off of him, but they kept going for him and every time he smashed one two more would take its place and soon he was overcame by the butterflies that started to enter his body by cutting off a layer of flesh and inter through there, some filled up in his brain and started to scramble his thought and cut the nerves so he has no control of his body.
Tyrell realized what they were doing, but they got to the central nerve and had it cut before he could do anything and he just lied there on the ground being surrounded by the butterflies that was started to clog up blood flow and then his brain started to die off, but before any of that happened Tyrell heard a whistle and then snapped awake covered in Petunia's blood.
Tyrell got up looked around and was relieved that he was fine and it was all a dream. He ran as fast as he could back to the clearing, where everyone was still and tried to get their attention, but when he tried to talk nothing came out of his mouth then, he felt his body go numb and couldn't control it too much then he started to feel his heart racing going faster and faster, he finally let out a small yell that Luna, Stripes, and Scar heard they turned around and the second they did, Tyrell heart exploded from his chest and hit Gin in the back of the head.
Gin turned around too figure out who threw something at her head, and didn't see anyone but Tyrell covered in blood and a hole in his chest, she just smiled as she saw the butterfly he was following that landed on her shoulder she just patted it and said "Good job little fella" and then let it fly off.
"What just happened?" Cole said as he walked over to Tyrell's body and started to examine it. "Hey, hey, hey now leave the body where it is and don't disturb the evidence." Stripes said going over to Tyrell. "Hey now, I'm here to help you guys since everyone else in town is worried about you." Cole said and then started to walk away until he looked at Tyrell's eye and saw a bright silver sparkle he ran over to it and grabbed Tyrell's head and faced it upwards. Stripes ran over to him and tackled Cole.
"I told you leave it alone, and let the proper authorities such as myself to examine it." Cole just nodded, but then said "Well if I didn't do what I did, the effects wouldn't have been visible by the time you got him to your lab to see what was wrong with him. As a heart bursting out of a body like that has to be a reason." Stripes wasn't liking this newbie that was helping she was close to attacking him herself, but she needed to keep her professional look so she resisted the best she could.
Well That could of went better, I still need to figure out how to get rid of both the tigers, but I think this wolf could be the key to making sure that I can at least get rid of the bossy one.
Belize was sitting in the chair that Kayser left him in staring at the dead body of Louis, one of Belize's best friends, after Kayser killed Louis he sent Gin out to sabotage Belize's reputation and then make them shoot him on sight, rather then listen to the story Belize can say.
Belize felt a cold blade touch the back of his wrist, he tried to turn around, but the chair wouldn't let him turn, after a few second the ropes around Belize's hands fell, Belize grabbed the knots that strapped him to the chair and started to cut into those with his claws and after finally breaking out he turned around and tried to figure out who helped him escape, but he didn't have time to figure out, he had to get to the group and try and explain things to them.
Belize left the room hid at the walls near the shadows so no one could spot him that easily, he was looking at the paths of the guards so he would know the exit, but it wasn't looking that good, he would follow a guard and he only made circles in the lab, but when he followed another he would then switch spots with the guard before and take the circles, Belize followed the one that just left that spot, but when he found them again, they were making a circle count again.
Belize was getting frustrated with all the things going on that he just grabbed one of the guards, but unbeknown to him he grabbed a female guard he snapped her neck and took her clothes without looking at who he killed, but once he put everything on it was feeling tight in places it shouldn't be, but Belize ignored it and started to just walk around and ask the other guards for directions, but they all thought he was a women.
Belize couldn't figure out how they could tell each other apart, but he acted like a female guard the best he could until he got directions out of the little hidden facility, after talking to thirty-seven guards Belize finally got the full path to get out of the place, Belize went through the four floors of the bottom area then took the stairs up two floors and then an elevator back down five floors and then down a corridor and then finally up the stairs and out into the public area.
Thank God I finally got out of that damn place, but I want to know who the hell helped free me. Whatever I need to get back onto friendly terms with everyone before Kayser has my reputation ruined and getting it to where everyone wants to kill me.
Belize then took a look at where he was he wasn't familiar with this place so once he got out he got out of the guard clothes and started walking around the nearest town he was in for a map and where he was.
He looks around at all the buildings, most look familiar, but he doesn't really remember, until he heard someone yell his name from behind him. "What are you doing here Belize?" Belize looked at the figure that said it, and then looked hard at a blood red female chipmunk standing around him.
"Michelle what the hell, damn it I have to get out of here again?" Michelle looked at Belize and then realized she forgot to tell him, "No silly we are not there, you're in my home town Vestarity, that reminds me what are you doing here?" Belize sighed and then looked at Michelle, "Well I was hunting around, and well Kayser…" Before Belize could finish Michelle handed him a map. "Say no more Sweetie, he has been through here many times and messing with the town, if he's here then that must mean something big going on."
Belize nodded and then looked at the map, Michelle pointed to a small spot in the corner, this was the location they are at now, then she proceeded to tell Belize all the trails he would have to take to get past all of Kayser's goons, then she told him how to get out of town without being seen.
"Thank you Michelle, I will make sure to help you take down Kayser and free this town, as soon as I can." Michelle nodded and pushed Belize in the direction he was supposed to go. Belize started to make his run to the directions he was told specifically to go.
After He got out of sight of Michelle, she pulled up a walkie-talkie "Sir he is out and free, you better hurry before we lose the best opportunity we have, to stopping Kayser."
Then the walkie-talkie crackled a little and the voice on the other side of it got muffled quite a bit, but was still some what audible. Michelle was the only one that could hear it, "Okay sir, I will do as you say, but don't expect me not to kill him if the pay doesn't go through." Then she smashed the walkie-talkie and walked over to the clothes she saw Belize take off and grabbed it and used a vacuum and pulled out all the fur in the clothes, to eradicate any evidence Belize was in the uniform.
Cole and Stripes were still arguing over who had the authoritive right to determine the death of Tyrell, and who can figure out the fastest, "Okay well try this then, I will use my methods as an official police detective, and you can do your way, to figure out what happened, who ever learned it first and has proof without, desecrating the evidence, is the better detective." Stripes said to Cole, after she was finally getting tired, of the argument, Cole just nodded, and Stripes finally let him get up.
Everyone was just looking at the two, Shifty and Lifty were watching close to see if a fight would break out, and then they would get a little wager pool started and take the money while everyone else was focused on the fight, but it didn't get to that point and they did show that they were disappointed.
"Shifty, really do you think I would fight someone for real?" Stripes said while walking over to Shifty, he just started to sweat a little and looked like he was guilty of something, but Stripes just stopped before getting to him, and then she whispered "Next time, just start the bet before then, and I get 80% of the pot." She then slowly moved away from Shifty and gave him an 'I'm watching you' stare.
"Okay, okay now come on, we need to figure out what happened to Tyrell, and where Belize is." Scar said, trying to get everyone back on track, try to keep his cool, from everyone getting over paranoid that their next and wanted to just get back to any place that is safer then nothing but surrounded woods.
"Yea guys the tiger is correct, Stripes and I will have our little competition while everyone else search for Belize." Stripes was a little annoyed at this because she was leading them before Cole ever shown up.
Cole then saw Starla in the back of the group thinking she has heard something, he decided the little competition can wait, so he went over to Starla and tried to start a conversation. "Hey there cutie, someone actually convinced you to come in on this hunt?" Starla looked at the wolf and then quickly looked away, but in doing so she done it like she was embarrassed to see him, but she wasn't, she just didn't want him calling her anything, but her name.
"Well you know, I just can't say no to a friend, and well they said we would be killing things and I have not used my shotguns on anyone in a while so I figured, would be better then nothing." Cole smirked a little thinking she was just hiding her feeling for him. "Well I will most likely be winning the little competition with that orange tiger, whatever her name is…" Cole stopped thinking Starla was going to correct him, but she didn't and the moment became silent. "Okay I thought you would have gotten the hint, I threw at you, and I wanted you to tell me her name." Starla looked at him, "Oh that's why you stopped talking okay, her names Stripes and I think she's already taken."
Cole just laughed a little, it's not her I want my precious. He then got in close to Starla and Starla pulled away from him. Cole then got in close again and quickly gave Starla a little peck on the cheek and then backed away from her and gave her personal space back, Starla was there not moving a little shocked from what just happened, then Cole walked away to get back to the competition he has with Stripes. Starla just slapped herself in the face and ran off into the forest looking for a water source to wash 'The stain of ignorance' from her face.
Sub was sitting near the forest a little out of sight and was watching the whole scene, so Starla loves Cole, that is quite interesting, Sub then looked around the forest, because he heard rustling coming from behind him he had an ice ball in his hand he made, and made it sharp, and got prepared to throw it at whatever was there, but he froze in place and dropped the ball. When the ball hit the ground it shattered and made a loud noise that grabbed everyone's attention.
Everyone froze looking at a figure standing in front of them that looked like Belize, but something just wasn't familiar about this figure. Sub, Cuddles, Cole, Splendid, and Stripes all made a line and got ready to attack if the strange figure attacked, but it never moved.
"Which one of you here is the one called Belize?" Everyone just looked at each other and then looked back at the figure, but it wasn't where they last saw it, when they looked around they saw the figure holding onto Lifty. "Now I ask you again, where is the one called Belize?" Stripes and Cole both took a couple of peaceful negotiating stances and tried to get as close to the figure as they could, but stopped a little from the figure holding onto Lifty.
"Look, we are trying to find, Belize ourselves, so would you mind putting our friend down?" The figure nodded and was about to put Lifty down, but Shifty came out of no where with a knife and tried to strike the figure in the head, but the figure pulled back at the last second only getting grazed by the sharp blade.
"You act peaceful and then you betray a trust, I will now make you all pay for that." He got a tighter grip on Lifty, and started to squeeze him, Lifty was started to feel the pressure come on fast he didn't have a chance to breathe in, and the second the force started to crush him, it compressed his lungs and whatever oxygen he had he lost from the squeeze.
Lifty started to struggle trying to breath, but couldn't the figure just kept squeezing him, Lifty was kind of screaming out, but everyone didn't move, for some strange reason they couldn't move and Cole tried using a dark magic spell he knows "Tenebrosi CANTAMEN: Tenebrosi anulus", but nothing happened, he tried again "Tenebrosi CANTAMEN: Tenebrosi anulus!" Again nothing happened.
Everyone was looking at Cole trying to figure out what he was doing, Shifty was the first to ask, well more of a yell "Cole, what the hell are you trying to do, and do something quick before he kills my brother." Shifty started to get his eyes full of tears, the figure saw this, but still didnt get moved by the sentimental moment.
"Why is my magic not working?" Cole said, the figure just laughed, Well, sir I am protected with the power of the guardians, it is my mission to capture this one you call Belize, alive or dead, now where is he, then I might spare this ones life." The figure said while holding Lifty up in the air, gagging starting to slow down quite a bit, near the point Lifty almost passed out from the lack of oxygen.
Shifty not wanting his brother killed just yelled out "Im Belize." The Figure looked at the raccoon and started to analyze him, "Fine then Belize, you are to come with me, and take your punishment." Shifty smiled after the figure released Lifty and dropped him on the ground, everyone else still couldn't move, but Shifty could and he ran up to Lifty as fast as he could.
"Lifty, you okay? Please be okay." Shifty lifted up Lifty's body and put his ear against Lifty's chest to listen for a heartbeat, but when he did he didnt hear anything, then he looked at Lifty and saw he had his eyes open, and he barely moved his arm trying to give Shifty a hug, but didnt have enough strength before his arm just falls to the ground.
Shifty was just standing over Lifty's corpse just standing there no emotion on his face, Shifty didnt even admit he wasnt Belize he just walked up to the figure and pulled the knife back out and again tried to stab the figure, but before he could the figured hand reached out grabbed Shifty by the throat and the knife just flew out of his hands almost hitting Luna in the head.
"Now, now, now Belize you shouldnt play with knives like that, at least not without knowing the differences between a liar and a con artist." Shifty was struck in the head with a stick and then fell over. The figure then started to come out into the brighter area of the forest where everyone could see what it was, and that it wasnt a shadow, nor was it a man like it sounded to them.
Everyones jaw dropped to the ground when they saw a golden fox with silver paws and a silver tail, she had a mark on her forhead that looked like a raccoon, but when they had a closer look at it, the raccoon looked like Belize.
"Hello everyone." The fox said like she was the nicest person in the world, everyone was still trying to move, but couldn't. "Oh Silly me I forgot to get rid of that." The fox snapped her fingers and everyone started to move around again, Shifty was still on the ground crying about Lifty, "Oh shut up, you big baby, hes fine." Shifty looked up at the fox and tried to use the stick and hit the fox.
The fox ducked and swerved around without even trying and each time Shifty tried to hit her he missed. "Okay that is it..." She snapped her fingers again and Shifty couldnt move. "Now that that is out of the way, Your friend is fine, okay? Stop trying to hit me with things." The fox said and then walked over to Lifty and tapped him on the shoulder and he started to open his eyes.
Once the fox helped Lifty up Lifty, just busted out Laughing, "Oh, wow I can not believe that was so easy, Shifty, that was payback for accusing me of stealing your toothbrush. I knew you cared for me so much, but I wanted everyone to know."
Shifty just had an embarrassed look on his face and then he got red with anger about being tricked, but then some what calmed down because he did torture Lifty quite a bit even though they found the tooth brush just fell into Shifty's Fedora after he finished a shower one day.
Luna started to sense someone else was around, but this one was moving fast she couldnt keep her eyes on it, and each time she tried to focus a sense on it, it kept dissapearing and reappearing in various places around in the forest.
She decided to go look for it and left the group and started to wonder into the forest alone, Gin took notice, but didn't want to risk having them think or know she's the new one killing everyone so she stayed and decided to play it safe, by sending her little butterfly spy and try the poison again, since they still don't know the exact cause of what happened.
Luna was walking through the forest, she knew this figure wasn't Belize, but she had a feeling that it wasn't dangerous either so she decided to go and look for it. She walks along the trail dodging all the tree roots that have grew up above ground.
She sees the figure again and then she hears something that made an eerie echo surrounding her, 'Eins, zwei, ich komme nach, drei, vier werden Sie nicht mehr wünschen fünf, sechs Schnappen Sie sich Ihre Kruzifix sieben, acht kom nicht zu spӓt neun, zehn nie wieder atmen.'. Luna just ignores it and continues walking down the trail, then it comes through the air again, but this time louder.
Luna stopped and looked around didn't see anyone around, and she has not seen the shadow in a while, but then she starts to sniff the air, and gets a familiar smell, she sniffed again, she knew whatever was around it was raccoon.
Luna got down low and hid in bushes and was looking around finding the source of the smell, but it just disappeared as soon as it came, she gets up and walks back out onto the trail and starts to turn back and follow the trail back to the group.
She started too feel a little tired from chasing nothing she sat down next to a river, she then heard that same eerie sentence going through the air again, she was starting to get worried, because she couldn't smell any creature within the area and she couldn't locate from which direction the sound was coming from.
Luna started to try and concentrate hard on the eerie voice in the wind that she didn't see the butterfly land on her head; she felt a little sting and thought it was a bee, but then she started to feel faint and her eyes drooped.
"w-what's going on here?" Luna suddenly just said out loud, then the voice said its eerie saying again, but this time she got a sense of an animal in the area, but she wasn't exactly sure why it smelled like burned flesh, until she saw a grass green otter come out of the bushes and stopped right in front of her.
"Hello there, who ever you are." Luna said trying to be polite, but the otter didn't say anything just pulled up at its head and pulled it off and then started walking towards Luna. "W-wait, what… how… when… but she couldn't figure out how to ask any of her questions.
The otter kept inching closer and closer to Luna, until it just stopped inches from Luna's face and then it said the phrase one final time before pulling out an axe and swinging it at Luna, but she was too quick for it she took a step back, but not before the axe cut off her tail and ear.
Luna then started to search for the weapon Belize has given her, but she forgot to go to him and take it before all this has happened, but she needed something to defend herself so she pulls out one of her own short blades and started to jab at the otter.
Each time she hit it the otter grunted with pain, but continued to go after her with the axe, Luna even decided that it was time she went for all or nothing so she lunged another time and stabbing the otter through the heart. She hit it hard enough that the short blade went through its body and the heart was dangling on the end of the blade.
The otter stopped moving and Luna pulled the blade out of the otter and watched as it fell to the ground, she had a victory smile on her face, but then a look of confusion, about how it could have taken off its own head and still lived, yet when stabbed through the heart died.
While she was pondering this the otter slowly got up and grabbed the axe and slowly walked up to Luna, she couldn't hear what was going on until the last second she turned her head and the axe went straight through her neck completely and cleanly separating the head from her body.
The otter then held up the wolf's head into the sky and put it on and then started to cut the fur off the wolf's dead body and started to put the fur on its own body and started to practice talking with the new head, then walked off into the woods and back to its village and told of the story how it, succeeded its mission into adult hood, and should be treated with greater respect, at the cost of an innocent life.
A/N Well this is quite interesting I have written quite a bit, too bad the update will be a while for any more again, but not as long as I am a little less busy and I am also working on other stories, I'm going to make a one shot with each of my OC's and I hope you all enjoy them when they come out, all of them are a little long.
