Chapter 4
Mina
The monorail stopped and opened its doors. I trotted out, being in a slight hurry. My long claws on my toes clicked on the metal floor.
I ran down the stairs on the right, came to the base, and then down some stairs.
I was in Station Square, heading for the Police Department.
Once I was out the door, I spread my massive wings and flew into the air. Some little kids clung to their mothers, weeping at the scary sight. Some tugged on their mothers' dress and pointed at me and said, "Look Mommy! It's Mina! I bet she's going to go kick some butt!"
Hell yeah that's right. I've been waiting to kick some ass for a while.
I arrived at the Police Station and landed in front of the doors. I pushed them open and walked to the counter.
"Hello, Mina," said the officer at the desk. "What's the problem?"
"Some fox came up to Raven all beat up and dying saying that some dragon-like creature beat him up," I explained. "We think it's Kromazor."
Everyone in the building stopped when I said 'Kromazor.'
"K-Kromazor?" The officer stuttered.
"Yeah. The body's still in Blaze's place. The fox died. You guys can pick it up there and do whatever," I said.
"Thanks, Mina."
"I have to get going..." I said, turning on my heel and walking out of the door. Once I exited I could hear people shuffling around inside and talking quietly.
I spread my wings and flew back to Blaze's house.
Once I got there they were already in there and settled. They explained what happened with Kromazor. Meanwhile the police arrived and took the fox's body away.
"So... What should we do?" I asked once they finished explaining.
"I think we should follow Kromazor a bit more until we find out what he's up to," Hardrive suggested.
"I agree," Blaze said. So did everyone else.
"Where'd he go when he left?" I asked.
"Dunno. He just flew off," Erik said.
I nodded.
"We can at least try to find him," Raven said.
Everyone else nodded.
"Let's go," Blaze said, clapping his hands together.
We finally picked up his tracks after two hours of searching. Everyone was getting weary, I'm glad we found them when we did.
The tracks lead to Mystic Ruins jungle. We hid behind trees and logs silently following him. We also kept a good distance so he wouldn't notice us. Once and a while he would turn around and look because one of us would step on a twig and make a cracking noise.
He never noticed us though.
Once we followed him for about a half an hour, he finally stopped. He looked at the cave to his right and entered.
"Oh my God..." Raven gasped quietly.
"What?" We all asked once Kromazor was far in the cave.
"This is the cave of the Taigas that Goth destroyed a long time ago... They must have rebuilt it... They captured me. Same day Goth gave me my vampirian form..." Raven explained, still whispering.
"Taigas?" Hardrive asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Huge black tigers with white stripes. Red eyes, huge fangs hanging out of their mouth, black jeans, huge claws on their toes and fingers, huge muscles. Goth killed their leader. Also carry around a staff which they can cast magic spells with."
"We better hurry up before we lose him..." Blaze said, standing up and going into the cave. Everyone followed.
It was a long fleet of stairs that led down, going down in circles. Once we got to the bottom there was a huge statue of a non-anthromorphic tiger, only with some of the features Raven explained. It was sitting, staring down as if watching the visitors, extremely large claws, big fangs, big muscles. It was all brown since it was carved out of stone. It was sitting on a base, it's four huge claws curling over the front side. A seven foot door was in the middle, obviously the entrance to the base.
"There were guards here," Raven said, remembering her experience.
There weren't any guards. I shrugged it off and started walking across the hall.
All of a sudden, there was a loud roar and a hiss. I turned to look from where it was coming. A Taiga was jumping right at me!
Just like Raven had described. Huge fangs and teeth which I saw since it's mouth was open in a roar, huge claws that were at least 7 inches long, black jeans, a strap across it's muscular chest holding his staff which was diagonally across his back.
Instinctively I ducked. The Taiga went flying over me, extending his arms and performing a handspring to get him standing. He turned to face me.
"You will never enter!" He hissed.
I laughed loudly. "Bring it on!"
Another roar and growl.
"MINA! NO!" Someone shouted.
I turned. Another Taiga was leaping at me. I saw a black blur and the Taiga was knocked out of the way. Raven was fighting it.
The Taiga growled loudly and leaped on me. It was stupid. I was distracted. I shouldn't have turned.
We somersaulted backwards across the floor. I stopped when I was on the bottom, pulling back my arm and slashing him across the face with my claws. The Taiga hissed and growled, but he still wouldn't get off me. He had me pinned.
A green blur shot by and knocked the Taiga off. Hardrive. I looked over and saw Erik and Blaze taking on another Taiga.
I nodded a thanks to Hardrive. He nodded back.
"Help Raven... I can take this one..." I said.
Hardrive looked at me once and ran to help Raven.
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty..." I taunted.
The Taiga hissed and leapt. I threw myself on the ground. The Taiga came at me. Once he was near enough, I grabbed his arms, springing my legs up so he flew backwards over me. Kind of like what Simba did to Scar in The Lion King.
The Taiga hit the wall behind us. He sunk to the ground and pushed himself off, rolling, then jumped up and landed in front of me. He grabbed his staff from his back.
"Oh no you don't!" I yelled, and flew into the air.
Once I got high enough I came down, slammed him into the wall. There was a crack. His skull broke. His head started to gush blood.
I fluttered my wings and landed in front of him, satisfied with my work.
I was going to have fun fighting these guys.
