Chapter: 9 Awakening 2
Over the course of the next few months the sleeping boy has not awakened to the relief of Quatre. He has been getting several reports on the Shadow Assassin Justin in the Sank Kingdom and was surprised about the Dog Demon that attacked the capital city. He was even more surprised that the fox had attacked the dog and suffered some major injuries trying to protect the people. "It seems that the dog demon is still under the influence of the transmitters." He said to Rashid who stood behind him. "It would seem so Master Quatre so far only the fox, the dog and this one was found. And according to the reports there are five of them and only three have been either found or sighted." He said and Quatre nodded his head in agreement, "You are right we have two Shadow Assassins that is for sure and that boy in the med bay is one of them but as to which one I do not know." He shook his head in frustration, "I have a theory as to which one is he," "Who," replied Quatre out of curiosity, "I believe he is the one you called Desert Hyena," said Rashid, "The Hyena? That would make sense since the tiger demon Fire Stripe would obviously have the markings of a cat and Windstorm the Wolf demon is nowhere to be found. As I would put it we only have Thunder Fox and Desert Hyena and the Avengers have the other three and is currently using Moro no Kimi." He stated turning his back to Rashid to gaze out the window, "I do not think so Master," and Quatre turned around, "We just received a transmission from our spies saying that the shuttles that where suppose to transport the other shadow assassins was attacked by pirates. Those pirates then jettison the cargo and took off with the shuttles since all the supplies on it where worthless to them." Quatre got out of his seat and only stared at Rashid, "That is the reason why he was by himself?" he asked, "Yes sir we believe that he entered the Earth's atmosphere along with the others and had the ice melted around him but because of the immense heat the rosary around his neck was destroyed along with his clothes." And Quatre had to wonder how Relena could control the fox demon in Sank but this demon is different. He knew that without the rosary to control him they do not know how the control such a demon.
Mark laughed as he saw his minions try to defeat the fox demon but to no avail. "Fools do they think that by trying to destroy Relena Peacecraft that all their problems will be solved. I have learned over the centuries that no one can be controlled. He then turned to the monitor showing a young man being strapped to a table. Pushing a button he gazed at the man, "How are things going with Moro's vassal?" he said calmly, "Good sir he obeyed every command." He said, "Good lets run another test and get him some exercise run him through Africa I want to test how this thing can survive such harsh treatments of that rough environment." He said and his man complied.
It was about three in the morning when the alarms went off and Quatre found himself running to the command center. "What is the status?" he said, "Something fell from the sky and landed on the air field it is in the form of a giant dog," he said before the radio went static and he could hear explosions from the distance. Cursing he ran as fast as he could to the nearest transport to take him to his gundam that was rebuilt for this purpose. But he remembered to his dismay that it was not finished yet. Cursing he ran to get a transport to all the personnel as well as civilians out of the area. The dog ran to every person devouring them. Quatre was shocked beyond belief as the dog dripped drool on the ground and the people around them began to die as noxious gas was released. "Do not inhale the drool or the dog's breath it is poisonous!" he shouted and got away just to avoid the claws of the dog as it came at him. The gundam pilot began to fire his semi automatic pistol at the dog that just either took it or dodged them to get at him. As it was about to devour him it backed away as it was forced back by missiles. Missile launchers by some of the soldiers came into play as well as mobile suits fired at the dog but the dog did not back down and attacked them. The first suit to go down was bitten by the dog in the chest area of the cockpit. To Quatre's shock it belonged to one of his fellow Maganacs Marik who was killed when the dogs spit touched him. Finally finished with the suit the dog attacked the others. Quatre felt much anger towards the dog but then his anger turned to pity as he remembered that the dog demon can't control itself due to the transmitter. Instead his anger changed to those who controlled such a monster. The demon then set his eyes on Quatre again and began to attack. Quatre knew that the only smart thing was to run. Running on pure instinct he avoided the teeth, breath, claws, and roar of the dog as it came after him. Though it had the advantage of speed and endurance, Quatre's familiarity of the streets is what is keeping him alive for so long. Getting tired he finally made his way to the hospital and saw the last of the ambulances get away before running inside. The halls where empty as the dog smashed through the walls to get to him as he made his way to the very end of the hospital's western side. He threw himself into a room and hoped to be safe. The eerie silence of the room startled him at first till he turned and found the boy still locked in slumber behind him. The dog smashed threw the wall making him collapse on the boy as he tried to fire back but found to his dismay that the gun was empty. He tried to reload but found that the bullets where melted as well as some of his shoes by the dogs breathe. He held the boy closer to him the arrow brushing his cheek. "Why are you attacking!" he demanded, "Leave these people alone," he said holding on to the arrow this time and not thinking of what he was doing. He began to pull on the arrow as hard as he could, "I WILL NOT LET THE AVENGERS KILL ANY MORE INNOCENTS AND I WON'T LET NO STUPID DOG KILL ME EITHER!" he screamed and the arrow vanished before his eyes. Shock over took him as he saw the arrow vanish into nothing the dogs noxious breath getting into his face now and he could feel the burns of it on him melting his skin. Quatre hugged the boy closer to him holding him and trying to shield him from the dog as it nipped his back causing him to scream. As he began to cry that was when he heard it in the boy's chest.
A heart beat! He thought as he heard it again this time in a steady beat. The dog began to sniff the air and growl low as the heart beat began to get faster to a normal rhythm. It was then that a pair of crystal clear blue eyes gazed at Quatre. He was shocked to see them slited like a cats but he also remembered that the other demon the fox demon has the same kind of eyes too. He was then raked by the dog when it tired to reach in with his paws and managed to pull him out and drag him across the ground.
Steven woke to the sound of growling and panting as he opened his eyes and gazed into a kind image of a man with aquamarine eyes. It was then that the man was torn from him and dragged across the ground. His shocked expression looked up at a giant dog with huge floppy ears and a white fur coat. A blue crescent moon shown on its forehead and stripes marked its side of his head and limbs. But something does not smell right it seems familiar but not. It was then that flashes of the past came before him of horrible experiments and friends long gone. Recognition shown on his face as well as anger as he watched the dog drag the man out of the building. If the man tried to protect him from his old friend then his friend is still under the control of the same bastards that did this to him. But looking at the body he found that the dog was a boy so this was not his friend. Getting angry that a dog took upon itself his friends scent as well as attack that man he began to come forth with power. Quatre was glad that he wore his bullet proof suit or else he would have been melted by now. Not only that but the burns from the poison on his skin are beginning to get infected as the dog dragged his prey across the grounds and mobile suits tried to get him out of the mess. To his dismay they had to hold their fire for fear of hurting him but that was not to stop the brown blur from hitting the dog and sending him flying. The dog was thrown into several buildings and to Quatre's amazement he saw that the same blur did not stop from there. Steven was very angry as he charged the dog that go up and avoided another onslaught of attacks to it. It attacked him and tried to swipe him with its claws but Steven was more agile avoiding the attacks and being smaller had the advantage. He bid down on the back leg and was satisfied when the dog screamed. The dog then got up and tried to another attack at him but Steven was faster on his feet. When he pinned the dog down he could see confusion in its eyes and something he did not expect in its red eyes. He could sense it two soul's one male one female. He thought before the dog shoved him off and it was then that he finally felt the poison in the dog's bite take effect. His vision began to blur and he felt the dog came nearer to him. He dodged but barely and bit down on the dogs legs then up into the stomach. The dog screamed as the Hyena clamped down and did not let go he could taste the blood in his mouth as the dog tried to snap at him again but he dodged with ease. Steven was not about to let the dog get the last of him. He then let go of the dog and went for the back leaping up and clamping down on the nape of the neck holding on.
Quatre slowly opened his eyes as a sharp pain registered in his body. Poison I have been poisoned and it is slowly killing me he thought with realization as the pain shot up like fire though his body. He slowly tried to get up but found that both his legs where broken. He could hear the scuffle on the other side of the city where the demons where duking it out. He was worried about his new friend the Hyena, "He tried to protect me after all this time he tried to help me." Quatre said and fell back into darkness as the poison slowly over took him.
Steven held on as the dog demon thrashed throwing its weight into the other buildings blood seeping down from many wounds on its body. It was then that Steven heard a whistle from a distance and the dog then took a new course of action. It struggled to get away and Steven held on seeing that the dog was trying to return to its master he let go and give it one final bite before letting it run off. Turning his head he began to make his way back to where the blond young boy was lying. He followed the destruction till he returned to the place the man was kept. Sniffing the man he could smell the poison in him but not much. He knew he had to help after all this man did try to protect him as a human and did wake him so he owed him. Carefully placing him in his jaws Steven got up and began to slowly walk out of the city into the surrounding savannah.
A soft warm breeze filled the nostrils of one Quatre Reberba Winner as he opened his aqua marine eyes to the sky above. Light poured down from some trees as he slowly looked around in his surroundings. As he looked he stopped as he saw something that made his blood run cold. Hyenas! His mind registered the carnivores as they lay sleeping around him. There was a whole pack around him he tried to get up only to feel weak and fell again awakening the animals. He backed into the tree he was leaning on but the animals did not attack him instead they moved away from him in fear. Confusion littered Quatre's features till they all ran and Quatre was even more puzzled that is until a gigantic muzzle greeted him. Jumping back the giant hyena only watched him and then took in his scent before placing something down for him. Quatre glanced down and to his surprise it was a warthog. The pig was dead already crushed by the Hyena as it nuzzled it to him. "I don't eat warthog," he said as the hyena only gazed at him. It then shifted its form to that of a boy his long blonde locks only looked at him. He was completely naked but did not show any shyness about it. He only stared at Quatre before pointing to the carcass. "I said I do not eat Warthog," he said and the boy seemed to catch on before disappearing again into the bush. The second time he returned he came back with some fish in his hand and placed them before Quatre who was equally confused. He had built a fire to make himself warm and made sure he did not set the bush on fire by digging out the grass and made himself a mound like how his friend told him to. He gladly took the fish which where already clean and gutted though in the roughest way possible and began to cook them. The boy looked on curiously as he began to tear into the warthog regardless of blood on his body and began to devour it much to Quatre's disgust. He said a slight prayer to Allah before consuming his food and found that the fish was not poisonous in any way. He became wary when a pride of lions decided to see if they could steal from them but to his surprise the little demon growled low at them and they turned and ran the opposite direction. "I know this sounds funny but I think you should have a name don't you think? He said and the boy stopped eating and looked up at him. "Steven," he said before continuing his meal. "Excuse me?" replied Quatre, "Steven it is my name," said the boy as he finished up the warthog and left nothing but blood on his body left. "Steven is that your real name or you made that up?" Quatre inquired of the demon, "It is my real name, Desert Hyena is my code name," said the boy and Quatre was dumbfounded by the boy's intelligence. They ate in silence till the last light of the fading sun began to drop into the sky. "Um what should we do now?" Quatre said, "You rest for now the poison has not left your system yet," said Steven, "What do you mean?" Quatre replied, "You slept here for a month under this tree the sap and some other thing I gave you absorbed the poison so you don't die." He said, "But the poison still has left you very weak so I want you to rest some more." He then lifted his head and gazed around as if searching for something, "I take that back can you ride?" he asked and Quatre was about to answer when he saw the boy change again back into a hyena. He then walked up to the Arabian and picked him up in his jaws and tossed him onto his back. With the speed of a cheetah the hyena took off towards the distant horizon.
