Chapter 3: He Lives Within

Falco was quickly brought to the hospital. His wounds were very deep. His body received slashes from Garuda's thrusts from his wings. It was devastating. It felt like you've been thrown with katanas all over your body. Falco was unconscious because of the damage, and everyone was worried.

When he was taken to the hospital, the doctors immediately gave him a stitch on to his wounds. It might be painful, but at least that will save him. He was then taken to a ward so that he can recuperate.

"What is going to happen to him?" Katt asked the doctor. The doctor, after wrapping Falco with the bandages at the stitches, replied, "Well, the stitches should do the trick." He then stared at everyone else and prescribed, "He can't bathe yet, so just clean the stitches using a towel dampen in hot water. Replace the bandages after that. Also, when he wakes up, tell him not to move very much. He's going to feel pain as he recovers from being unconscious." He then left the room as he checked the patient.

Lupina looked at the whimping cat. To cheer her up, she talked to her, "Katt, maybe watching some shows will lighten you up!" She grabbed the remote and turned on the monitor. To their surprise, there was a flash news.

The newscaster reported, "This just in. A strange person identified as Garuda is seeking havoc through out the Town Central here in Fortuna! He created devastating typhoons throughout the place, creating a storm in that region. Enforcers tried to stop him, but they have been obliterated by powerful gale. The council now stated to use air force against him, still waiting for results..."

Wolf saw the devastation that Garuda created. "What the hell?!" he sprung, "He's invincible!"

Tatanuk winged at the monitor at faced at Wolf, "Wolf, you have no idea how much powerful he becomes! With the Stir of Sirens on his talons, Garuda is surely unstoppable!"

Wolf keenly looked at Garuda in the monitor. As he thought deeply, he realized that if he was agile enough, he could steal the gem to weaken Garuda. He glanced at Vulpin, and walked towards him.

"Vulpin," Wolf firmly asked, "may I borrow your Neutron Blade?"

[AUTHOR'S NOTE: For the newbies, Neutron Blades are like katanas in Light Sabre style.]
"Why?" the little fox wondered. He then stared at the monitor. He gave a quivering statement to Wolf. "Don't tell me you're going to..."

"That's right!" Wolf smirked, "That's why I needed that! Trust me!"

"Well... All right..." Vulpin submitted.

Wolf sneaked away from the ward. He knew that Garuda was in the Town Central, harnessing his powers. He believed that he would be too busy to notice him. So, he rushed away to the scene.

Meanwhile, Vulpin, with a clumsy face, looked at Garou.

"What is it, Vulpin?" Garou asked the little kitsune.

"Onii-chan (big brother)..." Vulpin slowly fluttered out, "Well, Wolf borrowed my blade and I think he's headed out to fight Garuda..."

[AUTHOR'S NOTE: Vulpin is not Garou's little brother. Vulpin just felt close to Garou who is treating him like his "onii-chan" or big brother.]

"WHAT?!" Garou remarked. He quickly rushed to Wulf and Fox, who were mending Falco's bloody clothes.

"Wulf! Fox! Wolf rushed out to fight Garuda!" Garou yelled to the top of his voice.

"Onii-chan, SHHH!!!! This is a hospital! Keep quiet!" Vulpin disregarded to Garou.

The two dashed towards Garou and wondered, "Why did he do that?"

"I don't know but I guess even if we run, we wouldn't catch him..." Garou stated.

"Maybe I can..." Wulf thought, "ARMOR!!!"

Blue light veiled the wolf. His clothes disappear and he was fitted with armor.

[AUTHOR'S NOTE: Just in case for the newbies, when Wulf armorizes, he will be covered in blue light and his clothes will disappear. Next, a helmet, two armor gloves, leg armors, body armor, shoulder pads, and a trunk (You know, a Megaman X wearing ONLY his armor) automatically fits him. Then, the blue light disappears, forming an armored Wulf.]

"I'm pretty fast with these on. Besides, Bark gave me a booster part called 'Turbo Engine' that can enhance my speed for up to 150%." Wulf reassured the others.

"Well, be careful!" Fox waved as the blue lupe dashed away very quickly.

Meanwhile, at the Town Square...

"Ha ha ha! My power certainly is wonderful! This whole planet shall be engulfed with rain forever!" Garuda grinned. He was 'floating' over the main City Park, impressed by his own powers and what the Stir of Sirens has done.

Suddenly, a flashing voice jolted over Garuda. "GARUDA, I'LL STOP YOU!!!" a yelling voice stripped down the place where Garuda is. It was followed by flash of light striking down. It surprised Garuda from the moment.

"Gha!!!" he implied as he feels pain. The 'light' slashed downwards from his left wing to his legs. His wing is unusable, making him limp if he tries to flies.

As the mist clears, he saw a wolf carrying a Neutron Blade. It was Wolf. He pointed the blade to Garuda. "I won't allow you to destroy this planet!" he phrased.

"Ha ha ha! What great courage you have!" Garuda wildly laughed, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to rip your beak off!" Wolf smashed as he positions the blade as if he was an expert bladesman.

"Really?" Garuda mocked, "However, I should warn you. If you kill me, you will also kill Eagle! Too bad!"

"What?!" Wolf stopped for a while. He couldn't afford his friend's life in here. He almost forgot about that.

"But enough talk!" Garuda ordered as his wings positioned for a fight, "SONIC BOMB!"

A sudden purge of energy knocked Wolf to the air. With Garuda's power, he was suspended in midair. But then, Garuda stretched his wings further.

"WIND NEEDLES!" Garuda yelled out. Aerial pins appeared and stabbed Wolf violently. Blood was dripping after a conclusion of many needle-like thorns hailed towards him.

"You should've killed me when you have the chance! Friendship hurts, literally!" Garuda mocked the wolf that was in pain. "I think a second round of those Wind Needles should be enough to end your life!"

As Garuda shouts "WIND NEEDLES!", Wolf closed his eyes. But on that moment, a blue figure dashed towards him, taking him away from the attack.

As Wolf opened his eyes, it was Wulf! He was able to come in a nick of time!

"Fool! But anyway, I'll enjoy this!" Garuda swirled.

"I won't count on it!" Wulf answered, ready for the fight.

Back at the hospital, Falco had a dream. He was talking to a strange voice. He was asked by the voice.

"Your friends... Do you value them?"

"Yes..."

"Well... Why won't you save them?"

"I can't... I was unable to..."

"Yes... I was unable to save others, too..."

"Who are you?"

"You'll find out soon. Garuda is back, and even more powerful than before..."

"What... What are you going to do?"

"You need to save your friends!"

"How?"

"I'm the light... Use me..."

Falco suddenly popped out from sleep. Katt and Lupina were surprised to see that.

"Whoa! What the hell..." Katt reacted.

"I'll explain it to you later! Right now, I have to go to save them!" Falco yelled out.

"But your wounds..." Lupina told Falco.

He then removed the bandages from his body. The stitches were healed! It was amazing, but really means something...

What was that all about? Who was the voice? What happened to Wolf and Wulf? Find out on chapter 4!
