*Trumpets are being blown and I arrive with a smile on my face.*
Me: Hello everyone. Welcome to the 20th chapter on this Misc. Anime story, the Animal Island!
*Pretty soon, Kazaka and Sparks had arrived with a tense smile on their faces.*
Me: You seem pretty tensed...again.
Sparks: I have a tingling feeling that something big is about to come up.
Kazaka: Yeah. I'm worried for Ayami even on off screen.
Me: I know how that feels. I understand.
Sparks: Glad that you understand us.
Kazaka: Yeah. You seem to be concerned as well.
Me: Of course! Why wouldn't I? You are all my family. Now how about a hug? ^^
*We all hugged. After that Kazaka and Sparks felt much better.*
Me: Alright then, the appreciation and disclaimer please.
Kazaka: The author, Zahir890, would like to thank you very much for supporting him by favouriting and following him as well as his other stories.
Sparks: And since it's a Misc. Anime story, it's a complete OC's story. Therefore he owns the OCs and no one can use them without his permission.
Me: That's right guys. And now, let's get straight to 20th chapter of my first ever Misc. Anime story without any delay. Enjoy reading it guys :).
*Kazaka and Sparks nodded as they gave a small wave.*
Chapter 20: Mayor's Speech.
Ayami's house and room:
At Ayami's room, Kazaka is there comforting poor Ayami. She is somewhat a bit better than before but still a bit worse off. He then hugs Ayami.
"Ayami. Are you feeling alright?" Kazaka asked.
"Hmmm-phhhh." Ayami nodded slowly before saying sadly, "I really miss you Kazaka."
"Yeah same here. It feels kinda lonesome without you and Sparks feel lonely without Rosie."
"Yeah..." Sparks sighed as he stretched himself.
Silence occurred for a moment before Ayami asked:
"What about the other students?"
"I didn't tell the other students about what had actually happened to you. I just told them that you are sick cause I didn't want to press the panic button on them. I only told the principal though and she seems really concerned and sad but she said that you will come back strongly." Kazaka said.
"Kazaka..."
Ayami soon gets herself close to Kazaka.
"Right now, my grandmother is coming here many times to help us out." Ayami said sadly.
"I'm sure your mom will recover strongly." Kazaka said.
"I'm not sure...it might take a while for her. She suffered the full force of it."
"..."
"And then she cried to me and herself saying that she's sorry many times and that she is a terrible mother."
"She's a wonderful mother. It's just that neither of you saw what was going to happen and they attacked you straight away."
"I guess so."
Kazaka hugs Ayami so that she can feel comfort.
"Kazaka. I really want to go back with you. To hold hands with you. To go to school with you. To have fun with you. To date you and so many else. I don't want to make you see me like this all the time." Ayami cried a bit.
"I know Ayami. I know." Kazaka said as he hugs her, "But right now you are on the road to recovery. Plus your ex-father and that backstabbing dog, who made yours and the others lives a living hell, are still on the loose so you might be in danger as well as both of your grandmother and mother. The Mayor is also doing everything he can cause they've got a score to settle with him and Den as well. There will be hope Ayami. But for now Ayami, please lay low. I don't want to see you get hurt again."
"But Kazaka, they will get you as well."
"I know but with Sparks on my side, we can hopefully deal with those guys. Hopefully."
Ayami gulped a bit because she knew that because by saying hopefully, she knew that even Kazaka is unsure of himself.
"Once all of this is all over, we'll have lots of fun." Kazaka said, "I promise."
"I don't need promises Kazaka." Ayami said which surprised Kazaka a bit before she rests on his shoulder and smiled saying, "Cause I believe in you."
"Arigato Ayami."
Ayami smiled as Kazaka kissed her in the forehead before they comforted each other.
At Ayami's bed, Sparks sighed as he watches them before looking at the window and said to himself wondering:
"I wonder how Rosie is doing at the Mayor's base."
Mayor's base:
"Mayor! The crowd is ready for the speech." The rhino said.
"So am I." The Mayor said, "Come on Rosie."
Rosie nodded as she soon follows the Mayor to the stage where several thousands of animals are there at the gathering. To make sure that everyone can see, the rows has been arranged in order from small to big so that everyone can have a chance to see the Mayor making a speech. When they saw the Mayor, they all cheered upon seeing him. Soon the Mayor calmed them down as silence occurred for a while before the Mayor then began his speech on the microphone by saying:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for coming to see me make my speech and welcome."
They all cheered.
"This will probably be the most important speech of my life cause of two things. First of all, this is my first speech which is being made outside Animal Island, which was sadly destroyed by those invaders in which I will tell you later and second is that the speech is made given the recent events that had been happening. So please listen carefully." The Mayor said.
The crowd nodded as silence occurred for a moment before the Mayor began to speak on his microphone:
"Fellas. Do you remember that I had said that we must keep the existence of the island from the humans cause they are bad and they might destroy it and us animals will always be brothers and sisters, no matter what species and size you are?"
The crowd nodded although some are a bit puzzled and surprised.
"For those who weren't there, you'll be lucky not to see it and for those who don't remember it, forget about it because..." The Mayor said before sighing sadly, "I was wrong and I had to learn this the hard way. Not all of us are good and not all of them are bad."
The Mayor continued his speech.
"I had to fight against the crazy stray animals which shocked me because I thought that I would be friends with them and we could be brothers and sisters since they were in need too. I was so shocked that I was depressed and I couldn't eat anything and I was limping and I thought I would die but a human saved me. This event changed my view on them and I think that they may not be bad after all."
"I really am blessed to know them and have met them a few times. However, what happened next for them had me discover the disturbing facts about the culprit and the info I wished that it wasn't true and that it was just a nightmare. Hear this out."
The crowd looked at the Mayor.
"This is Rosie, one of the animals from Animal Island, who is being cared for by the girlfriend of the human who saved my life. Last night, she, her mother and Rosie were attacked by those same guys who destroyed our island. You know what they did to her mom and herself? They r***d her mother and that fatso nearly did the same to her too."
The crowd gasped in total shock and some females even fainted.
"And what's sickening is that the culprit was none other than her ex-father who was discovered on what evil things he did by his wife and divorced him. In addition, he was greedy and selfish and forced them to move to Tokyo and even raised his hand on them." The Mayor continued.
The crowd gasped in total shock as there are many growls and chants against that evil man.
"Baaaa! Evil! Evil! Rapist! Rapist! Sick! Sick! Tyrant! Tyrant!" The sheeps baaaed together.
"That's right. And guess who's accompanying him?" The Mayor asked before saying, "Den!"
The crowd gasped in shock before a fox from the crowd raised his hand and asked:
"Wasn't he your opponent on the election?"
"Yes he was." The Mayor said on the microphone, "But I had no idea that what he would have done next."
The crowd listened.
"As you all know or most of you know, Den went missing. After what had happened last night, I visited them and Rosie was there. Based on their explanations and a logic, I finally realized what Den did which you know by now but I'll say it again just to get it on our heads." The Mayor said on the microphone.
"Den fled after his loss. It might be his jealously that he lost based on what Rosie told me about what he said to her. He drifted to Tokyo where, in a cruel fate that had befallen on us later on, that fatso picked him up. Then both of them planned to invade the Animal Island and they did. He even took part of the assault yesterday."
"Den had committed the most treacherous acts ever because without him, these guys won't obviously even know the island's existence! So Den had definitely lead them there! No forgiveness will ever replace the sin that he did! I don't know whether it was his intention to destroy the island or not but he had done the damage. That fatso might have destroyed it with his men but Den definitely mastermind it because, again, without him, they won't even have known where the island was."
The crowd roared in anger as the sheeps baaed angrily:
"Baaaa! Traitor! Traitor!"
"Yes and it had made me learn this." The Mayor said on the microphone, "That the world is not simple anymore. It's a complex world where anything can happen to them. Where even a small trivia manners can turn any person or animal to evil. Even there are bad animals on any species. Just look what happened to us now after what Den did to us."
The crowd nodded and sighed a bit.
"I've also got 2 things to say." The Mayor said on the microphone as the crowd listened, "The first thing is that I'm sure that not all of us are present. There are many animals that got drifted to many different places that I don't even know where they are nor their condition now. They might have laid low, brought in by humans, struggling or they might even have *gulps* died by now. Some of them could be even your family, friends, girlfriends, brothers, sisters, parents, etc. So can we have a minute silence and a 10 bell salute to all those missing animals?"
The crowd nodded and did so with them being silent for a minute while some weeped a bit while the 10 bell salute was going underway. After that, the Mayor said on the microphone:
"Thank you...And now as for the second one, it's that we might have to break a rule here and that rule was keeping our mouths shut."
"How so?" A gorilla from the crowd asked.
"When we go against those villains for revenge for what they did to us, we might expose ourselves as the noises we are gonna make are definitely gonna get the attention of the public, the police, media and a lot of other groups. We won't be able to keep our mouths shut forever."
"In short, you are saying that we are gonna have revenge but the price is exposure?" A female cheetah from the crowd asked in which the Mayor nodded.
"So that means they will end up knowing about us and the Animal Island?" A horse from the crowd asked and gulped a bit.
"Yes. I'm afraid it seems so." The Mayor said on the microphone in which the crowd sighed, "But think about it. The media might also expose that fatso's true color and his evil activities so he's gonna get the backlash he truly deserves. We can kill him also but it would be better if he can get the payback. Also I think if the people know about us and what happened to the Animal Island, then maybe they will listen to us at least and we can reduce animal abuse. We may not be able to eliminate it but we can dramatically reduce it."
The crowd seem to talk among themselves for a while and they seem to agree what the Mayor is saying.
"As for that traitorous Den, he will be left in our hands!" The Mayor roared.
The crowd roared in cheers.
"So let's do it again! Repeat after me!" The Mayor said in which the crowd nodded, "Animal Island may be gone but our spirits won't! Long live the spirits of the Animal Island!"
"Long live the spirits of the Animal Island!" The crowd roared.
"That fatso, his men and Den are going down! Down with the villains!"
"Down with the villains!"
"For the animals who could be your everything that had gone missing and drifted to other places where we don't know what they are doing, we are doing it for you guys!"
"YEAH!"
"And finally to those that perished during the invasion and destruction and to those who had died afterwards or on overseas, hear us out o heavens! We will avenge your death and the sacrifices you gave will never ever be in vain!"
"Avenge! Avenge!"
"Forward! Charge and Attack! Towards the Brighter Future Tomorrow!"
"Towards the Brighter Future Tomorrow!"
"And we are also doing this for other animals! We'll show them that we cannot be underestimated! We will show the villains that we are down but not out yet!"
"DOWN BUT NOT OUT!"
"And finally, we will also do this for the girl, her mother, Rosie who were attacked and their lives were nearly destroyed by those goons!"
"Protect! Avenge!"
Rosie couldn't help but smile.
"And now! Let's sing our anthem!" The Mayor called out in which the crowd cheered.
And so they did but never they had been so passionate and singing so loudly about it. After that, the Mayor said on the microphone:
"All of you can go rest now. Further updates will be given to you all. That's my speech for now. Thank you all."
The crowd cheered and roared and clapped in cheers as the security soon escorted the Mayor and Rosie out of the stage.
"That was a great speech Mayor." Rosie said.
"Thanks." The Mayor said as they walked, "This is only the beginning."
Me: Yep. And with that ends Chapter 20.
Sparks: Aw man. I miss the speech :(.
Kazaka: It seems that they are really gearing up for something big.
Me: Yeah but something's gonna happen...
*Sweat trickles on Sparks and Kazaka.*
Sparks and Kazaka *gulping*: What will happen?
*Silence occurred.*
Me *breaking the silence*: That we will have to find out in the next chapter looks like.
*Kazaka and Sparks groaned but then they sigh in relief.*
Me: That's right. The next chapter will be coming within a week or a week and a half so stay tune.
Kazaka: And until then, please review and like this and his other stories as well as following and favouriting him.
Sparks: Yep. Stay tune for the next one.
Me: Yep. So until the next chapter comes, it's...
Kazaka and Sparks *waving their hands*: Sayonara!
Me *smiling*: Bye.
*We then all waved our hands.*
