Chaotic- Legend of the Chezamon
Chapter 4
Kaya sniffed the air, in search of the human he had met earlier; he was curious as to why she had gone back. Usually, the intruders they scared away would pray not to encounter them again, but this human had gone back to look for him… the Chezamon stopped when he smelled other essences… strangely enough; they were both similar and different from the smell to the human girl. Perhaps she had gone back with more humans… about three or four more humans. Kaya heard his name being called by a female voice nearby, he recognized the human's voice almost immediately; he then followed the calling.
Meanwhile, the five humans were walking around Mist Forest trying to find the red-ruffed Chezamon. Luna had been leading the way, often calling out for Kaya in hopes that he would appear, but for now there was no luck. Tom was getting every time more nervous, fearing that the other Chezamon might hear and attack them. After hearing a branch on the ground breaking nearby, Tom gulped the lump in his throat.
"What was that?" he mumbled
Luna sighed in frustration, "Like I told you before, it was just a branch. It there was a Chezamon following us, we wouldn't hear it at all,"
Tom rolled his eyes, "wow, that makes me feel better!"
They failed to notice the icy blue eyes that spied on them at that very moment. Kaya's doubts were confirmed when he saw the human had come back with more of her kind. Three males and one female… one of the males had black fur, another had orange fur, the fat one had brown fur, and the female had blonde fur…
"Kaya! Where are you?" Luna was calling out for him
The red-furred Chezamon peered up his ears and his pupils became slits, wondering if he should show himself or not… could those humans be trusted? The little human seemed trustworthy, but he didn't know about the others. what if they told even more humans about their whereabouts. However, another call from the humans caught his attention.
"Kaya, dude! Come on, we don't bite!" The brown-furred human called out.
'They don't bite?' what was that supposed to mean? From the looks of it, these humans did not have canines or fangs to bite, they didn't even look like they hunted their food at all… finally, his curiosity got the better of him.
Kaz whirled around when he heard the snap of another branch; then he froze in fear as he saw icy blue eyes peeking from one of the bushes.
"Guys…" he mumbled in terror
"What is it now, Kaz?" Sarah turned to face him in annoyance, but soon she froze as well.
Peyton, Luna and Tom twirled around to see what was wrong, and were startled from seeing the red-furred Chezamon they had been looking for. He was staring curiously at them, his ears pointing to the front. Luna smiled in excitement.
"Kaya, there you are!" he walked closer to the Chezamon, who in return gave a few steps back in caution when she tried to wrap her arms around his neck.
"That's… Kaya?" Tom walked a bit closer, but not too much, he wanted to remain on the Creature's good side for now.
"Why did you come back?" Kaya spoke up, his voice as deep as it had been in the Drome Match.
"Dude, let us have a scan of you!" Peyton was the first to speak in a pleading tone, "Luna fought as you and she creamed Klay!"
Kaya tilted his head slightly, confused, "fought as me? What's that supposed to mean?"
"See, you remember I asked you to let me scan you, right?" Luna decided to explain him, "in Chaotic, I can become you and fight, with your same attacks and abilities."
Kaya still didn't understand anything.
"What's a Chaotic?" he scratched his head
"It's a long story," Sara replied while staring at him from feet to head, "anyway, the point is that Luna easily defeated Klay, we'll explain you who he is later, when she fought with your scan. We asked her to bring us here to see if we could scan you too,"
Kaya turned to look at her, his pupils turning into slits, which sent a chill down Sara's spine.
"First, I need to know more about you, humans…"
"We should start by our names," Tom decided to introduce himself and the others, "my name is Tom,"
Then he pointed at Kaz, Peyton and Sarah respectively, "those are Kaz, Peyton and Sara,"
"And I'm Luna, we meet earlier," Luna waved her hand
Kaya couldn't contain a small smile; yep, these humans could be trusted. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to let them scan him, too… however, a sound caught his attention. He looked around in alarm, hoping it was not what he thought…
"What's wrong?" Kaz got closer to him in concern…
…And a flash of gray came out of the bushes.
"LOOK OUT!" Kaya tackled Kaz out of the way, and the Creature missed its chance. It stopped a few steps away from the group, and the humans could see its features more clearly. It had the same body structure and appearance as Kaya, but this Chezamon was more slim and it had dark gray fur with silver underbelly, nose, paws and undertail. its ears were of a darker tone of gray, and he was wearing some kind of goggles. It was looking at Kaya in shock, its pupils were slits. Kaya prevented his fellow Chezamon from attacking the humans
"Kaya, what are you doing?" the gray-furred Chezamon growled, his fur bristling as he spoke, "why are you protecting those intruders?"
"They're not like the others!" Kaya replied, his pupils turning into slits as well, "they can be trusted!"
"How do you know?"
Tom, Kaz, Peyton, Sara and Luna were startled by this new voice. They looked around frenetically, and spotted another Chezamon coming out of the bushes. Their terror began, however, when they noticed other three were coming out.
Peyton in fear, "base, we have a problem,"
One of the Chezamon had golden eyes, dark brown fur with sandy belly, face and legs. The other three were a bit more colorful than the others. One had solid blue fur with white underbelly, legs and nose. He had navy blue back, fingers, ears and the tip of his tail was dark blue as well; his eyes were of a pale gray color. The second had dark red fur, with lilac fingers, a line running down his eyes and tail. His underbelly and nose were pure white, his eyes were golden. The last Chezamon had different patterns of dark and light brown all over his body, with dark gray ears and crimson red eyes.
However, they were all looking at them with distrustful and wary eyes.
"Look, its okay!" Kaz tried to get on their good side, "if you don't want us here, we'll leave,"
"Silence, human!" the red and lilac Chezamon growled
"Cool it down, Shaoran!" Kaya growled
"Kaya, why do you protect those intruders?" the gray Chezamon decided to try it by the good way
"They're friends of mine,"
Luna smiled when she heard the word 'friends' escape from Kaya's mouth. He trusted them! But obviously, the others didn't… she decided to break the tension.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Luna walked past Kaya, who looked at her as if she was insane.
"What's she thinking? Doesn't she know they can tear her to pieces in seconds?" he thought in shock, fearing for her life.
The other Chezamon were as confused and shocked as he was; why wasn't she afraid? She was speaking to them as if they were not threat at all. Luna came to a halt a few steps from them.
"Luna, come back here!" Kaz cried in terror
"Careful with the fangs!" Peyton added, flinching at the sight of their fangs.
"Look, I'll stand here," Luna smiled, "you can attack me if you want, and I won't defend myself,"
Luna stood still, expecting the Chezamon to lunge at her. however, they just were staring at her in confusion.
"she's brave, for a human…" the blue Chezamon thought as his pupils began to dilate and he softened.
Sara noticed the Chezamon were starting to calm down, their pupils dilating.
"I think they're becoming docile," she whispered
"I hope so, I don't want to be their snack," Tom commented
"I heard you," the brown Chezamon growled lightly, startling Tom.
Kaya dilated his pupils as well.
"Guys," he spoke to his fellow Chezamon, and pointed at the humans in the order they introduced to him, "those are Tom, Kaz, Peyton, Sara and Luna,"
"Hi, there," Peyton smiled a bit nervous, hoping they were not planning to have them for a snack or something…
"Humans are quite weird…" the crimson-eyed Chezamon commented, staring at the humans, "they only have fur in their heads,"
"that is Jerome," Kaya introduced him to the humans, and turned to the other Chezamon, "and those are Rocket, Sorka and Razor," he pointed at the blue, gray and brown Chezamon respectively before turning to the red and lilac Chezamon, "I think you already know Shaoran,"
Shaoran grunted and looked away; he had hoped to take out some more humans for the day.
"Is he always that grouchy or only when humans are involved?" Sara commented
"Nice to meet you!" Peyton extended his hand to Rocket to greet him.
… But he just stared at the human's hand, confused.
"… If you want me to smell it, forget about it," he growled softly
"No, no, no, it's a greeting," Kaz decided to enter the conversation
Jerome, Shaoran, Sorka and Razor got closer and stared at Peyton's hand for a while.
"Nothing's happening," Jerome tilted his head
"I need one of you to give me your hand… or paw," Peyton grinned
The Chezamon were hesitant at first, but eventually Rocket decided to try. He slowly lifted his paw, his ears flattened against his head. This human greeting was very strange… when his paw touched Peyton's hand; the human grabbed and shook it.
"That's called a handshake, pal," Peyton explained, "but you might call it pawshake,"
"Why can humans stand on their back legs all the time?" Jerome was staring at Sara in curiosity
"We're bipedal, we walk on two legs," Sara explained, although the Chezamon being so close to her was making her quire nervous. Those fangs seemed sharp…
"Speaking of which," Kaya turned to face Luna, "how did you disappear after we first met?"
Luna took her yellow scanner out, "I used my scanner, with it I can port to anywhere in Perim, as long as I have the Location scan,"
Sorka examined the Scanner more closely and sniffed it; it had the scent of Luna everywhere.
"Wait, you can teleport anywhere in Perim with this device?" he inquired
"Yep, and we can also scan Creatures, Battlegear and Mugic," Tom explained while taking out his own scanner
"So that means you know about the other Tribes?" Shaoran walked closer to the humans; perhaps those humans could help them…
Kaz nodded, "well, yeah,"
"It's getting late," Razor looked at the sky, noticing it would be night soon, "we should go back to the Den,"
"Den? That's where you live?" Tom inquired,
"Yeah," Kaya replied
Luna stepped to the front hopefully, "can we go with you?"
Shaoran, however, was still wary about those humans, "no!" he growled while bristling his fur
Luna gave a few steps back in shock; Kaya turned to see Shaoran and threw him a dagger glare
"Don't be so harsh on her!" he growled
"Hey, if we can't go with you, at least would you let us scan you?" Peyton took his scanner out hopefully
Kaya turned to see his companions, who looked confused and hesitant. Sorka was the first to step to the front,
"Scan," he stood still.
Tom pointed his scanner at the Chezamon and scanned him. Jerome and Rocket saw the light stream coming out of the scanner, but it didn't seem to hurt Sorka. They stepped forward as well; Shaoran was hesitant at first, but eventually gave up and stepped forward as well. Kaz scanned Shaoran, Peyton scanned Rocket and Sara scanned Shaoran. Suddenly, the group heard a how in the distance. Kaya turned to see the humans.
"We must go now," he told them as his companions rushed towards the source of the sound, he twirled around to follow them
"Wait!" Luna called out, "when will we see you again?"
Kaya turned his head to face her, "the others and I patrol this area every morning. If you're lucky we might encounter again."
Then he disappeared into the depths of the forest. Tom, Kaz, Peyton and Sara were chekinc their new scans.

"dude, Rocket is very fast," Peyton commented
"that's nothing! Shaoran's tougher!" Kaz replied
Sara sighed in annoyance, "guys, hate to in interrupt, but we should go back to Chaotic,"
"she is right, it will be night soon. And I don't want to know who dwells this place at night," Tom looked around, fearing there might be nocturnal hunters in that forest.
Soon after, the humans ported out of the forest.
