Zoanthrope Chronicles

Chapter 2: Deadly Fangs and Dark Wings

"Huff, huff, huff..."

"Johnny...Johnny....why are you running away...." A voice calls out.

A young boy, scared and frightened, runs into the darkness. "Who are you?" Johnny calls out in

fear.

"I am all around you Johnny. I know everything about you. You are for me to control, to decide what fate lies in wait for you, my boy." The voice responds.
Johnny keeps on running and looks back to find the darkness is enveloping around him until it catches up and Johnny fades into the black.

"Perfect. HA HA HA HA........!!!" The evil voices laughs out loud, echoing in the darkness.

--------------------------------

"So how will we know where other members are?" Bakryu asks.

"Well, if what Xion says is true, they'll come to us." Yugo responds.

"So where do you want to start?" Alice asks. Yugo looks around, up in the sky at the

huge skyscrapers.

"How about we go up there and enjoy the view of the city." Yugo says, pointing to a

giant skyscraper.

-----------------------------

The opposite side of the city...

Eagle and Xion walk down the street, a little more run down then where Yugo and company are.

"So, how do you know Yugo?" Eagle asks.

"It's a long story." Xion says

"I have time." Eagle replies.

"Well," Xion says, his voice husky, "I fought him in the last Bloody Roar tournament. We instantly became rivals and I vowed to kill Yugo."

Eagle looks a Xion weird and backs away. Xion starts laughing.

"I didn't kill Yugo before because we both have the same cause, the same goal. Instead of fighting each other, we're fighting the same enemy. That's why I didn't kill him. I'm going to save that for the end of this war." Xion explains. "How do YOU know Yugo?"

"Well, I didn't personally know him 2 hours ago. I felt a strong pull and I followed it. I knew it had something to do with the movement but I couldn't place what." Eagle explains. " Until I got closer to what I felt, I could almost picture Yugo and felt his fighting spirit. That's how I met Yugo."

"I felt the same way too. I hated to admit it. I was practically going insane because of it, having to side up with Yugo. I'd rather just kill him in a battle and end it all but I know it's not that easy. Yugo is a very talented and extremely strong fighter. He has potential. He could even be a..." Xions' voice trails off.

"A what?" Eagle asks.

"An Ancient Zoanthropian." Xion voice falls low, as if a whisper.

Eagle's face becomes shocked. "Are you sure about that? I just thought that was a myth!"

"Yeah, it's a myth but who says myth's can come true? Supposedly, every born nonetheless. The last ancient Zoanthropian was said to be killed protecting his mother." Xion explains. "That kind of mentality is weak and absurd."

"Isn't also said that there will be a Zoanthrope that will bring peace once again between Zoanthropes and Humans? It also says that certain Zoanthrope will bring a vast Zoanthrope army and finally defeat the evil in the world and return peace to both Zoanthropes and Humans?" Eagle asks.

"Yes, it says that."

---------------------------------

Darkness. All is darkness. From it comes a voice "We can't let this movement arise and come to bite us. Can't we Victor? You will dispose of it. Your master commands it." A voice rings in the blackness.

"Yes my lord." A large and bulky man appears from the darkness with a light illuminating him.

"Perfect." says the voice. And the large man vanishes.

------------------------------------

"Wow, you can see the whole city from up here. I wonder if we can see Eagle and Xion." Alice says with wonder.

"Yeah, this is the largest structure in Violet City. You can see miles away." Yugo says. Suddenly, Yugo's ears prick up and he swiftly turns his head. Though the dense cloud, a girl

screams..

Amidst the crowd stands a huge man, shoving his way through the crowd of people, throwing them aside like rag dolls. Some people are carelessly throw out the window to their death. Stopping straight at Yugo, he grabs his shirt and hoists him so he can look into his face.

Yugo grabs his wrist but the giants wrists don't bulge and Yugo is thrown against the window. Slammed against it, pinned by the glass and the giant. The giant brings Yugo back and slams him in the glass really hard.

Shattering the glass, the giant drops Yugo and Yugo swiftly grabs hold of the side. The giant bends over and looks over the side. Bending over to push Yugo off, suddenly he falls over.

Alice brings down her foot and comes over to the edge and grabs for Yugo's hand. Almost slipping, Yugo is pulled up by Alice and Bakryu. Walking away, then walk away when they are loomed by a giant shadow. They look behind them and there standing behind them is a giant Zoanthrope. A giant werewolf like creature. Not so much as a wolf like Yugo but a deformed wolf-bear thing. Grabbing Alice by her head, he tosses her out of the opening. Yugo tries to run after Alice but is swiftly knocked down.

Quickly changing into his wold form and Bakryu changes into his mole form. Bakryu charges at the beast and slashes at it. The beast grabs Bakryu's wrist and proceeds to punch him in his face. The beast suddenly lurches forward and drops Bakryu. Yugo comes up from behind after kicking the beast in his neck.

"Bro, go get Alice! I will finish this guy" Yugo says and Bakryu dashes to the window.

Yugo, in his wolf form, starts to emit a bluish flame. With a ground shattering howl, he leaps at lightning fast speed at the wolf-bear creature. Yugo swipes at the beasts face, blood drips from Yugo's claws. He slashes again at his chest and kicks the beast into the wall. Yugo then come sup and proceeds to punch the beast in the stomach. However, the beast grabs holds off Yugo's fists and head butts him in his head and throws him into the ground. He presses his foot against Yugo's head and starts to press it to the ground. Yugo with all his strength grabs the guy's foot and flips the beast off him. Yugo springs up and kicks him in his face. The beast suddenly trips and falls out the window but grabs Yugo's foot in the process.

Bakryu climbs down the wall after leaving Yugo to fight the monster. He sees a young girl clinging to the edge.

"Alice! Are you ok?" Bakryu yells. Alice looks up.

"Oh hey Bakryu, I'm ok for the moment. I kicked in the glass and theirs a empty room here." She says and Bakryu starts to climb down when suddenly, he sees Yugo and the beast falling next to him.

"What the...." Bakryu says and jumps down to help Yugo.

Yugop grabs the beast and starts to knee him in his face. The beast grabs his knee and throws him against the building. Yugo gets caught on a ledge.

Bakryu then comes in and kicks the beast and slices his face. He then looks down to see the ground is getting nearer. The beast sees a opening and grabs Bakryu's face and drags him down the wall, reverting him back into a human. Grabbing hold of the ledge, Bakryu breaks free of his grasp and the beast free falls, attempting to reach the ledge.

The beast is suddenly is thrown down into the ground and smashes into the concrete. Blood splattering all over the place, his body collapses and all the bones in his body shatters. His brains or what's left of them lay splattered on the pavement. He died instantly.

"Need a lift?" Calls a girl and Bakryu looks up to see a women with wings. "Jenny?.."Bakryu asks and blacks out.

---------------------------

Bakryu's eyes flutter open and is in a dark and clammy warehouse. "Who, what, where?" Bakryu shouts, looking about.

"Hey bro, glad to see your awake." Yugo says, stooping down to meet him, Extending out his hand, he helps pull Bakryu up. Bakryu's eyes focus and sees some furniture and sees Alice sitting there.

"Jenny is here. She saved us and Alice." Yugo explains as Bakryu and Yugo sit down.

"Hello Bakryu. It's nice to meet you again." Jenny says, sipping her coffee.

"Same here." Bakryu says with a smile.

"So you gave up the model business, huh Jenny?" Alice says over her pop.

"Yeah, I found my real passion to be a spy. Pays good and has risks, which I like." Jenny says, smiling to herself.

"That's just like you, Jenny. Risking your life for entertainment." Yugo says with a smile.

"So Yugo, finally I've got to you." Jenny says, looking over her mug.

"Hmm?" Yugo says, paying half-attention.

"I've finally got you." She says, more serious.

"What do you mean?" Yugo asks, paying a lot more attention. "Were you hired to bring me or something?" Yugo asks with more urgency then before.

"Ohhh....no. Not that Yugo. You know what I mean. The movement. I've finally got to you. I can tell you will be the one who will gather all the Zoanthrope Liberation Movement members." Jenny says with a smile. She reaches into her coat and pulls out a paper saying "Zoanthrope Liberation Movement Member Jenny."

"Jenny, your part of the movement?" Alice asks, half surprised.

"Yeah, actually I believe that every fighter who has participated in the Bloody Roar battles are the Movement's members, besides a few." Jenny says.
"I'm guessing Busuzima and most likely Stun." Bakryu adds in.

"Oh Jenny, did I mention that I got attacked by the old Bakryu?" Yugo asks.

"Nope, you didn't Yugo. Didn't he die though. I wasn't in the first tournament but I know stories about him." Jenny responds.

"Hey, I'm sorry to break the reunion but we need to get back." Bakryu says.

"What do you mean?" Jenny asks.

"We found two movement members. A new Zoanthrope named Eagle and someone you couldn't even begin to guess." Yugo says.

"Well, if I can't guess it, tell me then."

"Xion" Yugo responds.

"Really?! Xion is a good guy now?" Jenny asks with surprise.

"Well, we know his intentions are good and I figure he has put aside trying to kill Yugo for now." Bakryu says.

"Yeah, it's 3:00 p.m. and we have to meet them tomorrow." Alice says looking down at her watch.

"Hey don't be so uptight, just rest here for a little way and the next morning we can go." Jenny says.

"Sorry Jenny, we are looking for other members." Yugo said to Jenny.

"Hey, did you forget? They will come to you, Yugo. All in due time. We're all attracted to your presence. You need to rest, you've not fully recovered your strength from the last attack." Jenny says and gets up and places her hands on Yugo's shoulders. "I have some rooms already made. Your welcome to use them.

"Thank you, Jenny." Alice says with a smile.

"No prob." Jenny says and leaves the room

----------------------------------

10 hours later....

(I wonder how Yugo is doing now. If he has found anyone else. Maybe he's not even alive. Ha. That can't happen cause I'm destined to be is Grim Reaper.) Xion thinks as he leans against a building.

"I wonder what Yugo, Alice, and Bakryu are doing." Eagle asks, saying out loud but not expecting an answer from Xion. Eagle sits down and leans against the building and falls to sleep. Xion stands there emotionless, thinking about something.

(If Yugo is an Ancient Zoanthropian, there's no way I can kill Yugo. In order for one to die, they must forfeit there immortality willingly. The last one died because he used his power to destroy the evil that was attacking hi, but he still died but it kept his mother alive. I wonder if Yugo will do the same thing with his friends....) Xion ponders

---------------------------------.

"Victor was a waste of my time. He was easily killed. A waste of my effort." The same dark voice calls from the darkness.

"Lord Iscariot, if I may interfere, I know I can kill Yugo and put this whole movement thing to rest." A female voice appears. A female with long hair appears from the shadows. "If you allow me, my lord. I will rid you of these meddlesome rebels." She says bowing.

"So be it. Leave now and I will await your news." The man says and in an instant, she is gone.

"What about me, master!" A shrill voice calls and a old man who attacked Yugo, Bakryu appears. "I can easily defeat them. No sweat." He calls out.

"Why did you fail so easily?" Iscariot asks, "I gave you a chance you blew it. You fell to your new version of Bakryu. You're a waist of perfect talent. I gave you life and you threw it away with your cowardice." Iscariot's voice rises higher and higher in anger. "You ran when you were attacked by the more "superior" version of you. You COWARD!!" He calls out and from the darkness, a even darker shadow contorts and deforms into a frightening shape of unknown fear.

"You shall not fail me again, you worm." A deep, almost gurgling voice comes from the huge beast. Bakryu looks almost straight up at this beast, his eyes wide in terror. He backs up and turns and flees. The eyes flash a bright red and the small particle of red light goes speeding towards Bakryu.

Piercing him in the back, Bakryu arches his back and goes through the other side. Slowly his flesh begins to evaporate and in a shrill of pain, Bakryu disappears in a cloud of red smoke.

The red eyes disappear and the shadow disappears. "Pathetic fool. He deserved the death for treason."

From the floor comes a tube with blue colored water and a small boy from earlier on suspended in the water. Oxygen tubes connects to the body hooked up to a machine in the back.

"My wonderful project. You shall bring great glory to the Kingdom Empire. Johnny, my boy" Iscariot says, stepping out from the shadows and places his hand on the glass.

"Perfect" He says with an evil grin.
