Zoanthrope Chronicles

Chapter 3: A Brood of Vipers

"Norue, I expect hundred and one percent of your power. Nothing less then that. Understand?" A voice calls from the darkness.

"I will do at your bidding, my lord." Answers a cold voice from the darkness.
Iscariot appears from the darkness. "Those Zoanthrope Liberation Movement rebels will regret when they agreed to partake in this little charade. They will definitely regret when they tangle with my power and my empire. Isn't that right, Johnny?" Iscariot says as he turns to face the tube with Johnny's body in it. "Just a little more and my goal will be achieved. After the first Dinozopian, I will make more until theirs a whole army of them. I will not be stopped." The darkness surrounds Iscariot as he laughs sinisterly.

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

"Yugo...Yugo....Yugo..." A voice calls out.

Yugo is running, panicking always looking behind him but nothings there. Running for his life, his eyes are filled with fear as he runs for all his worth.

"What are you running away from, Yugo? Iscariot? You know they will get you Yugo. They will slowly be tortured until you to reveal the rest of the members and then they will KILL YOU!!" The voice screams out in his head. "Then they will kill each one of your friends. Their death will be your doing, resistance is useless, Yugo. You know that."

Yugo continues running and trips and fall. He looks back and he sees the sinister blackness. Black like oil, seeping towards him. The darkness fills him and Yugo is falling and falling and falling in pitch darkness. He looks down and the ground comes ever faster to him. About to collide with the ground, Yugo closes his eyes and gasps.

The darkness fades away and Yugo looks around and he sees a bed and a dresser. Blankets are piled on top of him. The window is open and the birds are chirping.

"It was only a dream. Or was it....?" Yugo asks himself but his concentration is cut short when his nose catches a scent. "Breakfast!" Yugo says and he runs out of his room towards the kitchen.

Sitting at the table is Bakuryu who is shoveling down his 8th pancake already. (Teenager appetite.) Yugo pulls himself a chair and sits down.

"You don't need to feed us." Yugo says but in his voice is a tone of happiness (and hunger).

"You faker! You know you want our cooking!" Alice yells at Yugo while putting 3 pancakes on his plate and some strips of bacon.

"No, seriously." Yugo says and Alice gives Yugo an evil glare. Yugo props his elbow on the table as he grumpily but secretly happily eats his breakfast.

"Morf pwease!" Bakuryu says with his 10th pancake in his mouth.

"I didn't know Bakuryu the assassin had such a big appetite." Jenny says with a laughter.

"Now lifen to me Jfenny. If'm nfot a affassin anfy fmore. Remmembur?" Bakuryu says with his mouth full while pointing his fork at Jenny. Jenny and Alice looks at each other and burst out

laughing.

"Oh brother." Yugo says and opens the paper so he can't see.

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

"Wake up." Xion's voice calls out and a tired Eagle wakes up from a restless sleep.

"Huh?" Eagle, half asleep, half awake asks.

"There's something in the air. I can smell it. I don't like it." Xion says, almost like talking to himself.

"Well, I never did like you." Eagle mumbles out under his breath.

"Huh?!" Xion says, rather fast and catches Eagle off guard.

"I said Well, I would never kid you." Eagle says stumbling his words.

Xion looks at Eagle plainly and shakes his head. "We should be heading back."

"Man, you'd get a diamond if you stuck some coal up his a"

"Say again" Xion asks again, cutting Eagle off short.

"I didn't say nothing, Just talking to myself." Eagle says stumbling again.

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

"So I guess I'm stuck with you!" Jenny says, grabbing Yugo's arm. Yugo blushes. Alice's face gets angry and her head turns blood red.

"Alice, are Yugo and you..you know...a item." Jenny asks.

"I don't think so." Yugo says plainly.

"Well, then I stake my claim on you Yugo." Jenny says with a smile and kisses his cheek. Yugo blushes, grunts, and walks away.

Bakuryu comes next to Alice. "You know Alice, I'm handsome, smart, strong but better yet single." Bakuryu says with a cheesy smile and Alice backhands him. Bakuryu falls on the ground with a fist imprint on his face.

"Tell you what, Alice. How about Bakuryu and you go off to find Xion while Yugo and I look for some of the members." Jenny says with a smile.
"I think we should stic..." Yugo says but Jenny's hand slaps over his mouth.

"We'll look over there." Jenny says pointing to the east.

They go off in there separate directions. Bakuryu puts his arm over Alice. "I think we're a match made in heaven." Bakuryu says with yet another cheesy grin. Alice, yet again, backhands him leaving him twitching on the pavement.

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

"Jenny, why are you doing this?" Yugo asks.

"Yugo, since we're going out, we need to be alone." Jenny says, holding on to his arm.

"Who said we're going out?" Yugo asks back but he is enjoying the attention.

"Just a while back there. I said I staked my claim." Jenny says, pointing to Yugo's neck. On it is 2 little bit marks. Yugo shakes his head in disgust.

As they pass an alley, Jenny pulls them aside and slams Yugo against the wall and brings her face close to his.

"Yugo, you know you want me. Right?" Jenny asks. Yugo, yet again blushes.

"Well, um....I.umm....he...ummm." Yugo stammers.

"Shut up." Jenny says and kisses Yugo. Suddenly, Jenny is thrown backwards into a garbage can.

"What the!" Jenny yells out. A figure is about to punch Yugo in the face. Jenny runs at the attack and jumps in the air, trying to land a kick at it. The attacker grabs her leg and slams her into the brick wall.

"I want you, Yugo. You are the chosen one." The figure coldly says.

"Who are you?" Yugo asks.

Some people calls me the Cobra Queen, Norue." She hisses and flicks out her skinny, two-
pronged tongue. A bright light erupts, and a hand grabs the back of Norue's head and whips her against the wall. Jenny in her bat form flies at her. Norue starts to get up but Jenny plants her feet on Norue head, crumbling the wall behind her. However, Norue kicks upwards, knocking Jenny up onto the top of the building. Naoru follows her through the building. However, the wall next to her explodes and hand pulls her face through the wall and she is thrown to the ground. Yugo, in his wolf form, jumps down near Norue.

"Yugo, you want a piece of me?" She yells and she transforms into a cobra looking being. She shoots out her arm and grabs Yugo by the throat and smashes him through the wall. She then uses her free arm and grabs Yugo's legs and throws him down. Smashing him back into the ground. Yugo grabs her hand through the rubble and whips her into the wall next to him. She stands up to be kicked into the street by Jenny. She smacks into a oncoming car and is knocked into a semi truck. Crashing through the whole semi truck, she comes out of the other end. Yugo and Jenny rushes over to Norue.

As soon as they approach her, she jumps up and lands on another semi truck going the other way. Jenny takes flight and grabs Yugo with her feet and flies towards the semi. Coming close to the car, she releases Yugo and he grips hold of the semi and pulls himself up. He slashes at Norue but she dodges and extends her arms to grab Yugo but she misses. Yugo grabs hold of her arms and lands a kick right in her reptilian face. She stumbles back and extends her head to try and bite Yugo. Yugo grabs her head and knees it.

Jenny comes and kicks Norue in the back, knocking her onto the road. Jenny flies at her and opens her mouth. A horrendous screech comes from Jenny's mouth. Glass all around shatters and breaks. Norue's body starts tingling and she starts to scream. A hideous scream, a between a hiss and a human scream, she is completely immobile (except her mouth). Straining to look behind her, but it's too late.

Jenny and Yugo turn their eyes as Norue is ran over by on-coming car. He scream eerily stops and the car screeches to a halt. A crowd comes over to see what happened but they all close their eyes at it. Jenny reverts back into Human form as with Yugo and falls into Yugo's arms. Yugo holds her and Jenny buries her head in his elbow.

The deceased body of Norue suddenly starts to vanish and evaporates into the sky. The onlookers are shocked at the scene and look around, maybe finding something that can be of help. Jenny and Yugo ride on top of the semi and until it stops at a market and they jump off.

"Who was that?" Jenny asks, somewhat quiet.

"I think she came from the same place where they weird beast guy came from." Yugo says, staring at the sky.

"Came from?" Jenny asks, turning to Yugo.

"Didn't you notice her emotionless expression. She had no pupils. It was just a eerie white.. That was the same with beast man yesterday. They were made." Yugo says with disgust but Jenny doesn't respond.

"Hey, hey, you!!" A voice calls out and a pudgy green haired (no, not Busuzima) man comes out. Quite large in stature, both girth and height. "Do you happen to be Yugo?" The man asks.

"Ummm...yeah, I'm Yugo."

"I've found you. I'm Ned, the driver of that semi truck." He says shaking his hand.
"And why are you talking to me?" Yugo asks rather rudely.

"Well, you don't need to be rude." The man says with a pouting face, as if his feelings were hurt. "This is why." Ned says and pulls out a piece of paper labeled "Zoanthrope Liberation Movement member Ned."

"Your part of the movement?" Jenny asks and Ned looks at her. His head looks down her body and he whistles. Jenny shakes her head and walks away.

"Well, nice to meet you Ned." Yugo says and Jenny grunts at the name. "We are going to meet the other members." Yugo says.

"Are there others like her?" Ned asks, shifting his head towards Jenny.

"Chauvinistic Pig!" Jenny says through her teeth.

"Heck, I can give you a ride there. I'm done with my route and since I've found you. I'm quitting Semi Driving." Ned says and within minutes they are in the truck.

"Hey honey, you know you can sit next to me. I don't bite..much." Ned says with a grin. Jenny rolls her eyes.

"I like the window side." She says with a fake smile.

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

"I wonder how Yugo and Jenny are doing." Bakuryu says and Alice gives a angry grunt. "What! I've thrown every pick-up line in the book and you've tossed them aside. Oh wait.." Bakuryu says and pulls out a small dictionary. "Ok, I have one." Bakuryu says with a cheesy grin. "If I told you had a hot body, would you hold it against me?" Bakuryu asks but immediately holds up his arms to block Alice's backhand. But instead, he isn't greeted by one.

Alice is a few feet in front of him, looking at the sky. "I hope he's ok." Alice says staring of in the distance.

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

"Well, it's 3 o clock. They should all be here." Eagle says in front of the hospital, looking at his

watch.

"Hey Eagle!" A voice calls out and Bakuryu and Alice emerges from the crowd. Xion gets up from sitting.

"At least your still alive." Xion looks around startled, "Where's Yugo?" Xion asks in a panicky sort of a way.
"What's wrong Xion? You actually are wondering where Yugo is?" Bakuryu says, teasing.

"No, I just don't want anyone else to kill him besides me." Xion says low and gruff.

"Well, Yugo is.." Alice says but it cut short.

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

"Hey guys!" A voice calls out and behind them is Yugo, Jenny, and the newcomer, Ned.

"Jenny..." Xion says.

"Xion." Jenny answers back.

Ned sees Alice and trips over and crawls over to her.

"Yugo, you said there weren't any other hot girls in the movement but this girl is a perfect 10!" Ned exclaims, looking her up and down.

"I didn't say anything, Ned." Yugo says, half smiling and scratching his head.

"Who is this creep?"Alice asks while she kicks him in the face but he won't let go of her legs.
Ned gets up fast like and bows to Alice. "I am Ned and I am part of the movement."

Alice then punches Ned in the face but that doesn't faze Ned as he stares at Alice, drool coming from his mouth.

Alice gives a deep sigh and looks over at Xion. Xion looks back and Alice quickly looks away,

embarrassed.

"Ok guys. I found an easier mode of transportation. Ned here has a big semi that he can put us in. We have fitted it to be somewhat livable. We will stop city to city and try and find more members. Word of warning. There's something after us. Something evil. Two people has attacked us so far but has been defeated. It would be a mistake to stay in one place." Yugo says with a sigh.

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

It's the blackness again.

"I will need to make more bio-zoanthropes he says as 3 test tubes emerge with containing three life forms. The 4 test tube emerges revealing Johnny. "You my boy, I will save for last." He says with a evil laugh and looks at the monitor. "A week until completion. My warriors can't kill Yugo but the other's they can. Johnny will be the one to finally kill Yugo and end this mess." Iscariot says and fades into the black.
