Title: The Prince and the Ghost
Hello! This is my very first Bloody Roar fic! Hope you like it! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bloody Roar, or any of it's characters. I only own Riku.
It had been morning at the zoanthrope kingdom as Ganesha was about to check on Cronos. He had made his way to the doors to Crono's bedroom, and as he opened the door, his face was full of shock. "The prince is gone!"
"Heh! Finally, I can have some time away from my life." Cronos had hid himself in the bushes at the castle grounds. He wore a regular shirt, black pants, and a hooded jacket just to disguise himself. He hated living in the castle, and he felt miserable there because Ganesha and his father would always keep him locked up in his room, only to come out for his father, just to have him study Crono's rare zoanthrope abilities. This wasn't the life he wanted. He yearned for adventure. He looked up at the kingdom once again before pulling up the grey jacket's hood over his head and wandering off from the kingdom.
"Ah! Nothing like a walk around town!" Riku said with a cheerful grin on her face. Riku walked towards the center of the town with her pet hawk, Kalana cheerfully chirping on her shoulder. Riku sat on the bench near a giant fountain and laid her backpack right next to her. Kalana hovered away from Riku's shoulder and landed right next to Riku. She gave off a cute but demanding chirp at Riku and then stared at her master as Riku started to dig in the backpack's giant pouches. "I hear you Kalana. Just let me find it first." Riku kept digging into her backpack untill she pulled out a bag that had fresh sandwiches in it. Riku took out a quarter of one of the sandwiches. She placed a napkin on the bench in front of the eager little hawk, and placed the sandwich on top of it. "There you go. Enjoy!" Kalana gave out a sweet little chirp before pecking at the sandwich and eating it little by little. Riku smiled and looked forward to see Hans (A/N: Also known as Fox in the first Bloody Roar.) had a young man all tied up and was unable to move. Hans also had a long chain tied around his victim's neck. Riku put the rest of the sandwich away in her backpack and then ran towards Hans.
"Come on bird boy, show me your power. Change into your phoenix form!" Cronos gritted his teeth as the chain grew tighter and tighter around his neck. "Now! Change now!" Cronos felt the energy from his phoenix form rush through his body, but before he could change, he saw a girl with blonde hair, a black muscle shirt, black pants, and a pendant hanging around her neck, running straight towards them. "Get away from him!" Hans looked up at her and smirked. "Hmm, what a pretty babe you are!" Riku glared at him with a murderous glint in her eyes. Cronos felt that he didn't want her to get into the same mess he's in. "No! Get away! Go!" Hans tugged on the chain really hard and Cronos moaned in pain. "Can it, bird boy! As for you my dear, why don't you stick around for awhile?" Hans threw another strand of rope and Riku was binded the same way Cronos was. She squirmed and wiggled, but the rope was too tight. (No...Now he's caught her...) Cronos felt real guilty. It was his fault that Hans had caught a new victim to torture.
"Kalana!" Kalana looked up from her master's call and began to take flight. She swooped down and cried out her war cry as she swooped down at Hans and began pecking him continuously. "Ack! Get away from me you stupid bird!" Kalana became enraged, and her pecking became more painful. Hans started to try to swat the hawk away, but Kalana only dodged his hands and pecked him more viciously.
Cronos just watched the hawk ruthlessly attack Hans before he felt a strong source of energy coming from nearby. He turned towards Riku and saw that her pendant and her eyes began glowing a bright blue light. Riku's skin turned very pale, and her shirt started to have longer sleeves. Then he saw as Riku broke the rope binding her. He watched her hands went right through her shirt's giant sleeves and then changed into giant steel claws from within the sleeves. Riku had become her ghost form, and she made her way closer and closer to Hans. Kalana saw her master walking towards Hans and decided to fly away. Hans looked at the ghost with giant eyes before pleading with her. "Eh heh heh, hey baby! You know i was just k-kidding!" Riku kept walking towards Hans, it was clear that the end was near for him. "Don't worry fox boy. I won't hurt you...MUCH!" Riku pounced on Hans and tied him up the same way he tied her and Cronos. Then with one of the ends of the rope, Riku spun Hans in the air before throwing him half-way across the town.
Cronos stared at the ghost as she walked up to him and cut the rope and chains that binded him. He looked at her, and felt as if she looked very familiar. But before he could think of who she reminded him of, she jumped high towards a tree. She took one last look at Cronos before leaping from tree to tree, her hawk closely followed while carrying her backpack in its talons. Cronos just stood there, staring at the tree that the ghost was standing on before dissapearing. Then he heard a man cry out "Prince Cronos! I have finally found you!" Ganesha came running towards Cronos. Cronos sighed and silently thought to himself. (I guess my fun's over...)
