Series: Bloody Roar III
Plot: Uriko saves Brad's life from Kohryu, Trowa gives his true nature away while saving Long's life.
Trowa, Long and Jane walked down the construction site. It was dark, their night vision was just starting to kick in. Recent sightings of Kohryu sparked a massive drive in both Long and Trowa to hunt this robotic thing down. Jane cocked her machine gun and looked around. "See anything yet, Long?" Jane asked. "Not yet." Long whispered. "Maybe if we climb further up, we'll get a better view." Trowa suggested. "Good idea." Jane spoke. "Use the elevator." The three piled into the small rickidy elevator and closed the door. They went up to the top floor and walked out. Jane turned to the right when a missile nailed her, sending her flying. Long ran and caught Jane, nearly falling himself. Trowa hit the deck with his sword close to him. He focused into the darkness, spotting a glimpse of red and steel grey. "Long... Jane..." Trowa whispered, the signalled with his head. Long spotted Kohryu. So did Jane. They both got into fighting stance as the robotic mole came out of hiding. Trowa leapt up onto his feet and unholstered the katana called Ragnarok Crusher. "It's time..." Trowa whispered. "In the Name of Merciful Gaia, you will fall..." Kohryu circled about. "'GAIA' DOES NOT REGISTER, YOUR THREAT MEANS NOTHING..." Jane fired her machine gun at Kohryu. "Suck this, mole-boy!!" Kohryu whirled back and then fired missiles at her. Long ran up and took them himself, but as the result, he lost footing and started going into freefall. "LONG!!!" Jane shouted in abject terror. Trowa dove after him, a bright white light engulfed him. Then suddenly Trowa had angel wings! He flew after Long, catching the Tiger Zoanthrope in his arms. "Gotcha!" Trowa said. "T-thanks." Long said. Trowa flew up, setting Long next to Jane. Long and Jane hugged and kissed each other, happy. Trowa turned to face Kohryu, but the robot was gone. Long and Jane turned to face Trowa, seeing the snow white angel wings. "You're an angel..." Jane said. "Literally..." "..." Trowa holstered his wings and headed for the elevator. "????" ****** Brad, Kenji and Uriko were walking along Gado's air force base, looking for the same mechanized threat that attacked Trowa, Long and Jane the night before. Uriko and Kenji looked up at each other and smiled. Brad turned toward them and breathed a sigh of exasperation. "If he's mechanical, even my Werewolf nose can't pick him up... he's got no soul, so my Werewolf magic can't track him." "It's okay, Brad." Kenji said. "We'll try again after dinner." "If you insist." Brad said, leaning against the pole. "but I really need to put an end to..." "BRAD!! LOOK OUT!!" Uriko shouted. The warning came too late. A silver shuriken nailed Brad in the chest. "S-SILVER!!" Brad shouted, then fainted thanks to the silver. "It's Kohryu!" Kenji shouted. "Guard Brad, Kenji! I'll take care of this jerk!" Uriko ran up toward the fighter jet and climbed up. Kenji remained at Brad's side, watching Uriko and Kohryu duke it out. Uriko morphed into her half-beast form and began to hammer Kohryu away. Her claws tore into Kohryu's synthetic flesh like a hot knife through butter. Something about her abilities seemed totally uncommon, even for Uriko. Her speed was tripling with every slash, her eyes glowed red and her roars were more angry. Kenji watched in total horror as Uriko made the transformation from Zoanthrope to Lycanthrope. Kohryu tried to pull out another silver shuriken, but Uriko slashed him a nice one. Kohryu, badly damaged and near 'death', flew away. Uriko slammed her fist into his back as he flew off. Kohryu's eyes glowed, then about 40 feet in the air, he exploded. "I RULE!!" Uriko shouted, doing a little dance. "RIKO!! COME QUICK!!" Kenji shouted. Uriko leapt down and ran to Kenji's side. "GET IT OUT!! IT FUCKING BURNS!!" Brad screamed, trying to touch the silver shuriken. "The shuriken is too far into his bone and it's barbed! If I move it, I'm afraid I'll rip something." Kenji said. "We can't leave it in! It's hurting him!" Uriko said. "We'll have to take that chance!" Uriko touched the shuriken but it burned her fingers. But regardless of this nuisance, Uriko pulled it out and threw it away, sucking on her fingers afterward. But they were not out of the woods yet, Brad was bleeding! "Great!" Uriko said. "Hold on, Brad!" "It's okay, Uriko." Brad smiled. "You did what you had to, it's time for my healing to kick in." "Don't lose consciousness yet! You promised to take Trowa to dinner tonight!" Brad smiled brighter. He sat up and collected his chest, feeling the wound close up. "I know.... but I am a lycanthrope... silver hurts me terribly and it's a total bitch to heal..." Uriko and Kenji smiled. "Ain't that the truth." They got up and walked off the base.
