This is one reason that I put it in the horror genre.

Chapter 14: Grim Discovery

Xiaoshin looks up and seeks a whole village full of families and he seems to recall that one particular village where he raped two bunnies a long time ago and he was being turned in by some of the rhino guards and he figured that he might return them the favor of their life. He lets out a ferocious growl that echoed through that village that have put them on alert.

"What was that?" one bunny asked.

Most of them are in fear and confused on what's happening, but as soon as they were about to assess the situation, out comes Xiaoshin landing in front of them that's causing more fear instilled in them.

"Who are you?" another bunny villager asked.

Xiaoshin looks over at them with a cold and fierce look and in response, he shows them the sword and replied, "Only your worst nightmare..."

Meanwhile, Arizona, Musaki and Sierra was walking on their way to find the place where they've kidnapped Max and Musaki started to feel a little anxious for Max and he was definitely unsure about what they're doing to him. He's just as worried about Max as Arizona is, but a lot more anxiety creeping in. Yet at the same time, he's determined to make sure no one lays a hand on Max and will place his life above his own.

"Okay, the leopards gross stench is about a couple of miles from here. We should be there in about a couple of hours if we're lucky." Arizona replied.

"The leopard piss?" asked Musaki.

"Yeah, leopard piss. I think these guys are bad at keeping their stench at bay." Arizona pointed out.

They continued walking on and Musaki looks up at Arizona and recalls the memories of him standing up to Tigress about why Max is so important to him and he felt like he had stuck to his guns a lot and he knows that no one has stood up to her before, mainly because she would've easily pummeled him up...but not Arizona.

"Hey, Zona."

Arizona looks up at Musaki and said, "Yeah?"

"That was awesome...you standing up to Tigress the way you did." Musaki replied.

Arizona figured that he was talking about how he stuck to his guns about searching for Max and why it was so important and he replied, "She just doesn't understand the bond Max and I have...and for her to question why am I doing this for him is not something I take lightly. I wouldn't give up on Max even if she would force me to. Besides, it's not a choice whether I should or shouldn't. I just have to fully follow my gut instincts and it told me that I should find him and bring him out of harm's way. That's why I stood up to her."

Musaki lets out a smile and it restored his faith that Max will be found and he said, "It means a lot for Max. You've become a better brother since he came to his life and I appreciate it fully."

"Thanks, Musaki."

Just then...they heard some distant screaming coming from a village and the three of them quickly went over and saw a view of sheer panic and terror coming in and they wasted no time running over to see what's all the ruckus was about. And by the time they got there, it was a very horrific sight to see.

All three of them gasped in shock as they looked up and saw everything that they would hope to be in a nightmare. Homes almost demolished, blood smeared everywhere, bodies mutilated and a couple of panicked villagers all over the place. They walked slowly and looked around and felt totally fearful for those villagers.

Even Sierra, she was definitely horrified by the sight of what was coming and seeing the bodies being mutilated, she couldn't help but think who in their twisted mind caused all of this.

Arizona and Musaki looked around and saw the hundreds of dead bodies all around; adults and all kids being killed. The sight of seeing kids getting slaughtered triggered a huge amount of outrage for Arizona and as he looked at them all one by one, he couldn't grasp why would anyone do this.

"I am just as shocked as you are." Musaki said.

"I'm more than shocked. I'm furious and outraged. Who could've done this?" asked Arizona.

Suddenly, they heard a noise come out of nowhere and Arizona sees one village that's been boarded up and he quickly opened it up and revealed a frightened mother bunny and her two children and she thought that they were coming to harm them, but Arizona asked them, "Are you all okay?"

"Is he gone? That murderer...he did this to everyone." the mother bunny spoke out.

Musaki and Sierra came forth in front of her and consoled her while Arizona consoled the kids and Musaki asked, "Can you tell us who did this?"

Most of the surviving villagers came out and saw Musaki, Arizona and Sierra there and they felt like they're getting some help from them and Sierra asked, "We heard you guys screaming and we thought you might need some help."

"He...he killed everyone. Even the children." another villager stated.

Arizona then asked them, "Who's responsible for this?"

"It's that maniacal serial killer...Xiaoshin." he replied.

Sierra blinked her eyes while Musaki and Arizona looked at each other and both asked, "Who's Xiaoshin?"

"He is a killer. The most unstoppable and mysterious killer in this part of China. He strikes when you're the most vulnerable and could easily kill you without a trace...and for revenge."

Arizona lowered his eyebrows and he asked, "Revenge against who?"

"Anyone who's wronged him. He said that he was gonna assassinate his son after he kills all of us."

That last part completely caugth Arizona's attention right away and he turns to the villager and he asked, "His son?"

"Young son. Last I heard, he was talking to this army of clouded leopards that said that he's gonna kill some white tiger cub out of revenge." another villager mentioned.

"Said the kid's name was...Maximus."

That part shuddered Arizona's spine after hearing the name come out because he knows what that villager meant by that.

"Max..."

Someone knows...and on the next chapter, expect someone to come in and ask about Max's whereabouts.
