Moments prior
Jacob POV
after firing my gun, fang turned towards me. "traitor!" he yelled. "Then don't hurt my friends." Fang charged at me as I holstered my gun. I formed a fist with my right hand which, unknown to me, let off some sparks of electricity. Just as fang reached me, I threw a punch at him hitting him in the gut. I winced feeling something break. Fang coughed up some blood before hitting me in the face which sent me skidding. "lucky shot kid. Now then I'll kill you" as fang raised his good arm to electrocute me another person landed between us. It was Maggie. She spread her arms and wings. You've beaten him fang. There's no need to kill him." She said before giving me a wink and used her eyes to gesture towards the exit. I smiled. She was buying me time to escape. "you're protecting him?" Maggie closed her eyes before placing a hand over her heart. "he gave me hope. Let him go fang."
Maggie POV
I looked at Jacob with sad eyes. I knew I shouldn't have helped him escape with detective Maza, but for some reason I felt like it was the right thing to do. Little did I know was that fang was charging electricity. "MAGGIE LOOK OUT! BEHIND YOU!" Jacob yelled. I turned to see fang with a hand raised and covered in electricity. "if I can't kill him, then you'll take his place." I raised my arm and looked away as his hand came down. However, the sound of metal piercing skin was heard. Risking a peek, I saw what appeared to be a spear jutting from his chest.
Talon POV
I watched my sister began to depart with Coleman when all of a sudden he called out to Maggie in warning. Turning, I was horrified to see Fang about to kill Maggie. Suddenly a spear came out of nowhere and pierced Fang's lung.
Fang POV
I hated her. She interfered with my fight and now I was going to kill her in that traitor's place. However, just as I was going to electrocute her, a sharp pain filled my chest. I looked up after hearing a clicking sound. I saw what appeared to be a mutate without wings and dressed in predator armor. It was hanging on the ramparts behind Maggie. Coughing up more blood, I spoke in a hoarse voice before everything went dark. "Lucky… shot."
Maggie POV
I watched fang collapse onto the ground dead. Turning I saw my mysterious protector disappear. "Thank you." I whispered.
Later at Elisa's apartment
Jacob person POV
I looked at Elisa, whom was crying at the revelation of her missing brother, sadden by her demeanor. The gargoyles had entered their stone sleep by this time and we were at her apartment. Currently she and I were hurting, Elisa's hurt was that her brother still believed Xanatos. Mine was Maggie's look of betrayal as I left castle wyvern. "Why the long faces you two?" a voice said making us jump.
Elisa POV
Jacob and I jumped at the sudden words spoken. Turning, while drawing our guns, we turned to face a hooded figure dressed in black, his face partially obscured to which only his mouth was visible. (think of organization 13 clothes from kingdom hearts) "hey now. No need for violence." The stranger said waving his hand in a dismissive fashion. Our guns burst into particles and reformed in our holsters. "who are you?" I asked on edge. The stranger smirked and waved a finger back and forth in a playful manner. "uh. uh. Spoilers." Jacob raised a suspicious eyebrow. "why are you here?" he asked. "To help you two reconnect." The stranger said lazily gesturing to me. "one's heart yearns to reconnect with its counterpart." He repeated the action with Jacob. "His heart yearns for another's heart." Having said that the stranger clasped his hands behind his back and began to vanish not before saying. "Oh, one more thing before I go. Jacob, remember. We are one." I gasped and looked at Jacob. How did he know my temporary partner?
Jacob POV
"Do you know that guy Jacob?" Elisa asked. I shook my head. "No, but I understand what the last part he said." Elisa raised an eyebrow "we are one?" she said before scoffing. "that saying is nothing to scoff at Elisa." I said remembering a story that my now grandmother once told me when I scoffed at it. My tone caught Elisa off-guard. "ok.. why are you so defensive about it?" she asked. Sighing, I decided to tell her the story of how my Great-Grandmother ended a war before it even started.
2 hours later…
"Wow, that's pretty deep. Falling in love with a member of a family in which her father was having a feud with, and their love stopped a war." Elisa said. I smiled.
Meanwhile on the roof of a nearby building
3rd person POV
The hooded figure stood near the edge watching the human/lion hybrid named Jacob speak with Elisa Maza. "everything is coming together as it should be." He said smiling. "Are you sure it's alright to do this?" a feminine adolescent voice said. The stranger turned to face a young woman wearing white robes with a pink hood and silver fox mask obscuring her face save for her mouth. "Of course, Ava. It is." The stranger's smile fell as he gained a serious demeanor. "Ava, I wish for you to speak with Ms. Reed in the same manner as I did with them." The stranger said gesturing towards Elisa and Jacob. Ava nodded knowing it was her turn. She departed from the roof headed towards castle Wyvern. The stranger looked back at Elisa's before he too, departed.
A/N: there you have it. Chapter 4 done. Who's the mysterious hooded person and how does he know Jacob? Now for his companion. Ava is from kingdom hearts union x. her and the mystery person's roles in my legends saga will be revealed in a later story in this series also this mysterious person will be appearing in my other works tied into the Legends saga project. To clear things up about Jacob being called a hybrid, Jacob is an anthro mane-less lion with a human hologram disguise. Criticism is allowed as long as its constructive. That said peace.
