Chapter Four of Fairy Tails Resident Werewolf!
Walking away from the magic store and down the road Scott thought back on how he might've ended up in this world. Alternate reality? Or parallel dimension? Wherever he was, he needed to get back home. As soon as possible.
This could be some elaborate illusion, like with the Nemeton tree stump. But as he glanced around, looked at all the people in this supposed dream. The more he didn't believe that it was one. Everyone looked real, he could hear individual heart beats and smell things that couldn't ever be replicated in a dream. So, if he wasn't in a dream then he really was in some alternate reality. Then how'd he get here? A portal maybe? Some powerful deity that wanted to mess with him? Probably not but he was stressing over trying to figure it out.
Scott was sorting through his thoughts when an old lady stopped him in the middle of the sidewalk. "Troubled? Why not head to the park to clear your head." The lady didn't wait for a reply and shuffled on ahead past him. Scott glanced over to the park in the distance. It seemed to be about two miles away and Scott had literally nothing to do so… he went to the park.
Scott walked down a stone pathway toward the park branching off onto a bridge when he heard a cry for help. "Please! Someone help me!"
Scott spun his head in the direction of the yell. It came from an alleyway between two closed off buildings. He ran to it prepared for a fight.
Two men were attempting to rob a woman of her handbag, the woman wore fancy clothes and expensive looking jewelry. "Hey!" Scott shouted. The two thugs paused to look up at what interrupted them. One thug let go of the lady and put his hand in his pocket, the other held on tighter to the handbag and shoved her onto the ground planting his foot on her backside.
The one walking toward Scott grew a sinister smile, "You really should mind your own business kid. Me and my partner were just having a chat with an old friend. You should just move along."
Scott narrowed his eyes at what the thug was holding in his pocket, a gun maybe? Or most likely a knife. The man knew that Scotts attention was on his pocket and when he saw his chance he shouted out, "Earth Form! Fist!" He shot out his left hand creating a glowing green circle that emerged a closed fist completely made from rock! The spell rocketed toward the unsuspecting Scott. Hitting him square in the chest launching him straight out of the alleyway and into a mounted trashcan on the side of the rode.
Holy crap, Scott thought. He grunted from the pain and managed to get up from his imprint in the trash can. This guy used a real spell on me. I can't believe magic like this exists! And more importantly… I can't believe people like this can use it.
From what Scott could see the two men had taken the handbag and began removing all the jewelry on the woman. He quickly looked left and right, making sure no one was around to see what he was about to do. When the cost was clear he called forth his inner werewolf. His ears became pointed, his nose became snout, fur grew all along his jaw, and his fingernails extended into lengthy claws ready to tear apart all that opposed him. He sprinted toward the alleyway again, this time unleashing a terrifying growl that reverberated off the walls near him. The two thugs turned toward the noise, "Ready for round t…" Their faces shifted from menacing to horrified. Because before them was not man but wolf in human form. Red hot eyes burned into their memory. The werewolf from another world descended upon one of the thugs, their moment of shock leaving them open for attack, Scott leaped toward them shoving one to the ground. His head hit the cement floor, knocking him out cold. The other thug stumbled back in fear and looked warily at Scott.
"That's some crazy Take-Over magic bro," The thug said-voice strained. He put his hands together and a green spiral grew and pulsed in the air around his fist. "But it's nothing compared to my Earth Magic!" he yelled and threw his hands into the air, "Earth Form! Hammer!" A giant rocky hammer formed above his head, he grabbed it and proceeded to swing it repeatedly at Scott.
Said Werewolf dodged and weaved with flawless agility. When the thug went for a sideways swing Scott saw an opening and flipped over the hammer and punched the thug right in the ribcage causing him to grasp for air, drop his hammer, and pass out on the floor.
Scott looked over the motionless forms of the two thugs with great satisfaction. He shifted his facial features back to normal and went to help the woman who had been robbed.
She thanked him profusely, "Thank You-Thank you- Thank you-"
"It's no problem Miss." Scott interrupted.
She smiled and nodded, "I should go home now, my Brother must be worried sick!" She waved and ran out of the alleyway. That's when Scott noticed a necklace lying on the ground. It was a golden chain, with a sword shaped pendant.
"Miss!" Scott called out to the retreating figure down the road. "You forgot this!"
She paused for a moment and looked back. Then yelled, "Keep it! As a reward for your bravery Scott!" She turned and started walking away. Disappearing into the crowd.
Scott looked at the necklace in his hand. It's cool looking I guess. I wonder if I could sell it? Since I'm like totally broke in this new world. Scott looped it around his neck and began walking down that the stone pathway once again. He started to cross over a bridge when an alarming realization hit him like a hammer. How in the hell did that woman know my name?!
