Chapter 2: Controlled
In a strange world, a dark warlock was sitting upon his throne. He smiled evilly to himself, for he had stolen this position, and had killed many in the process. A voice brought him back from his thoughts as he looked down. Before him stood a strange creature. It had a humanoid shape, but was severely deformed. He had done this to the being, allowing it to live if it joined his army. Oh yes, this warlock had created many others like this creature, a being he decided to call a Kakera.
"Sire, the prisoner has awakened."
"Good. Bring her in."
The Kakera motioned to some others, who dragged forward a red-gold she-wolf. In the center of her forehead there was a white teardrop, and around her neck there was an evil-looking black collar.
"Kaji, how nice of you to join us."
"Akuma, I should have known. Why are you doing this? Why have you taken my throne?!"
Akuma, the dark warlock, ignored this and turned to the Kakera. "Take the chains off of her." The creatures quickly obeyed him. Kaji shook out her coat and snarled at him.
"Fool! Now there is nothing to stop me from killing you!"
"That's not true", Akuma said calmly.
"That's what you think!" Kaji leapt for his throat. Suddenly, the collar lit up with red sparks. Kaji roared with pain and fell to the ground. Leaping to her paws she growled at him.
"If I can not use a physical attack against you, then I will use fire instead!" Kaji reared back, then planted her feet firmly into the ground to deliver a blast of fire at him, but nothing happened at all. No fire at all, not even a spark. "What? How can this be?"
"Precisely. This collar prevents you from attacking me and surpresses your fire powers. And that's not all it can do…"
Once more the collar lit up with the sparks. Kaji howled and closed her eyes in pain. Her eyes shot open, glowing red, and her body went rigid.
"It also can control you! Now, kill that Kakera!", Akuma shouted as he pointed at the Kakera who had first approached him. Kaji leapt for him, and although the Kakera tried to defend itself with its sword, Kaji avoid all of it attacks and latched onto its neck. Her eyes suddenly returned to normal and the she-wolf stumbled back away from the dead body.
"N-no. No! You!", Kaji roared again and leapt for Akuma. Once again, the collar lit up, but this time more fiercely. Kaji struggled but collapsed, unable to fight. Akuma roared with laughter.
"Put her in with the Steel Wolves that are under Touken's command!"
The Kakera raced to do this. Kaji could only follow them, unable to do anything else.
