Disclaimer: I do not own the following: Sonic the hedgehog, Dragonball Z, Tekken, Prince of Persia (the Dagger of time), Batman (the car looks like the Bat-Mobil), Pok'emon (Lugia's ocarina); (I will add more when the time comes.)
Claimer: Bakuda, Dakuba, Dawn, Aura, Tara, Karnak, Adam, 'The Universal Gods', Creculo the hedge-fox and Twilight the hedge-fox I own. Bakuda was a 'spur-of-the-moment' name a friend and I created for an online game in 1999. I used the name for every game/story character ever since. If you spot anything that may be discreetly connected to another Anime/book/TV show, ECT, it is purely coincidence and not intentional.
I do not own the following OC's: Bolt the wolf and Reina the Wolf.
I only own half of the character known as 'Zephkuda' (Tournament to Test the Gods); the other half belongs to 'The-Blue-Zephyr.'
Glacier put the phone up onto the wall, where it usually hung. He still held Naxon in his right arm however and sat down on the couch; "Ahh, Everything is set. I asked Bolt to go around and ask for any wolves that would like to join our cause. No one can recruit like HE can." He said chuckling.
Reina sat next to him and cradled Nox; "You think he can do it?" she asked uncertain. Glacier smirked and just nodded. Naxon cuddled further to Glacier's chest.
"Daddy?" he asked softly and made himself as comfortable as possible in his fur. Glacier was shocked by this word that Naxon had muttered.
"Daddy? He can't possibly think that I… could… No, I don't really fit the father figure." He thought then glanced at Nox, who burrowed into to Reina's fur and murmured 'Mommy'.
Glacier and Reina looked at each other then smiled warmly, Glacier scratched behind Naxon's ear and this made him fall asleep. Reina did the same with Nox with the same result.
Glacier sat Naxon in between himself and Reina with Nox; "Um… What do you think of this?" he asked looking at her with a concerned look.
Reina shrugged; "I think it's cute, they obviously haven't had much of parental figures in their life and since we are the first to help them, they think we are their parents that have saved them from the harsh world." She explained softly, still scratching behind Nox's ear.
Glacier sighed; "Poor little guys… We can't look after them like real parents." He said looking sorrowful. He knew what it felt to not be wanted and didn't want it to pass onto Nox and Naxon.
Reina scowled; "Glacier, I want you to tell me that again while looking me in the eye!" she scolded, raising his face with her finger.
Glacier was shocked by her sudden attitude; "Reina, You know full well I can barley look after myself, even with the funds to support all three, I don't know how to take care of them and be a proper father!" he said frowning.
Reina sighed; "Glacier, take a look at them. Look deep inside yourself too before you answer again." She said defiantly. Not wanting taking 'No' as an answer.
Glacier did as he was told, he looked at the sleeping forms of Nox and Naxon, both were sleeping soundly, their almost non existent stomachs lowering and raising in sync with each other. Their tails wrapped around themselves and they were leaning against each other for pillows.
Glacier's heart melted at the sight of them, he remembered his past, where he was just a small boy wanting to be loved by ANYONE at all but being tossed aside at every turn because of his ability's. He turned cold to the whole world because of it, even his friends that he made with his kin… Until he met Reina that is; she changed his life around completely.
Glacier looked up again and just smiled at Reina, who smiled back; "If you want… I can be the other parent that drops by." She said slowly, as if she couldn't believe what she was saying; "I must admit, you need all the help you can get when it comes to raising kids." She smirked.
The light blue wolf chuckled; "I guess we should get these guys into the bath and have a proper check-up before tomorrow, we want to make sure they are clean and healthy before tomorrow begins." He explained and picked the two up carefully.
No matter how careful he was, the two woke up and looked up at the wolf that was carrying them. They smiled slightly and relaxed, realising that they wouldn't be hurt when Glacier was with them.
Glacier set them down in the bathtub and took off their cloths. Nox and Naxon looked confused and looked to each other before sitting down in the tub, staring at the wolf leaning over them; "What are you going to do Daddy?" Nox asked curious.
Glacier chuckled at the word again and turned on the hot and cold tap, soon the whole bath was filled with the water and even some bubbles that Glacier put in for them. Nox stretched out and began play fighting with Naxon, water splashing everywhere.
Glacier raised an eyebrow at the two then frowned. He placed his hands between them and pulled them apart; "No fighting!" he said sternly, Nox and Naxon looked up to him with pouting faces and Glacier's stern expression melted; "At least not without me!" he said happily and splashed the two, resulting in a full out 'Splash-War'.
Reina watched from the door and smiled at the three, Glacier turned around and smiled warmly at her; "Care to help? I can do Nox and you do Naxon." He said holding up a bottle of Shampoo. Reina bent down and smothered some on her hands and began lathering up the soaked grey kit.
Glacier did the same with Nox; the two fox's began purring as if they were being groomed instead of being washed as they did so. They hadn't had a proper bath as long as they could remember.
Glacier smiled and laughed slightly, Nox and Naxon were completely covered in soap and bubbles, their fur looked pearly white from the shampoo. Glacier then raised a small tub of water above Nox's head and tipped the contents onto him.
Nox and Naxon shook the water off them and looked at each other; their fur was glistening from the bath. Their fur was previously patched and frayed from neglect but now it shone brightly than ever before.
Both looked up to their 'Parent's' with glee, they rose their hands to Reina and Glacier, showing they wanted to get out. Glacier picked Nox out of the bath and began drying him off, noting that he was unnaturally thin; "Hey little guy, Want some food?" he asked softly.
Nox smiled and nodded vigorously at the question, grabbing hold of Glacier's leg and hugging it, as if Glacier was his only meal ticket... Which he was. Glacier smiled warmly and plucked him off of his leg and picked him up; "What is your name little guy, it's not like I can call you 'The little orange fox' forever." He said holding him up.
Nox smiled; "My name is Nox, that's my brother Naxon." He said pointing to Naxon, who was having his vest put back on with Reina's help. Glacier nodded then put Nox's cloths back on. Thinking of how he ever thought of NOT taking care of these guys.
Reina picked up Naxon and noticed he was thin too; "Glacier? Do you have any food that these guys can have?" she asked, knowing that Glacier sometimes had food not appropriate for growing children. Pizza was the most common type of food in Glacier's fridge.
Glacier shook his head; "I was thinking of asking you to go shopping while I take these guys out for lunch and to the doctor." He said and Reina nodded. Naxon and Nox paled at the word: 'Doctor' and immediately began to struggle.
Nox tried hard to get out of Glacier's arms; "NO! He wants to shoot us!" he complained as he nearly fell out but Glacier caught him and chuckled.
"No Nox, He wants' to give you a 'Shot', not 'Shoot you'." He explained, noting Nox's confused expression, decided to explain in small detail; "A shot is where you get a needle filled with good stuff that makes you all better." He said trying to tone it down so that Nox could understand.
Naxon looked over and grinned; "Do we still get that lolly that they always promise?" he asked hopefully. Glacier nodded and took him out of Reina's arms and into his own.
"Yeah, they do. Now Reina, do you know what to get? Here's $200." He said reaching into his pocket with difficulty and handing Reina four $50 dollar notes. She nodded and walked out the door after giving Nox and Naxon a ruffle on their bangs.
Glacier sat Naxon and Nox down in a small shop of 'MacDonald's', thinking they needed a treat after having no food for awhile, Nox and Naxon began looking over the seats curiously, as if they hadn't bee here before; "Maybe they haven't?" Glacier reminded himself then went over to order.
Glacier came back with a chicken burger for himself and two 'Happy Meals'. Nox and Naxon looked at the small boxes in wonder; Naxon had even gone to trying to poke it as if he was concerned it could explode.
Glacier grinned then opened them up to reveal chips, a burger and he also placed a small drink next to them. Nox and looked up with sparkles in their eyes to Glacier; "Thank you daddy!" they cried in union before digging in, devouring it in half the time it took Glacier to eat his single burger!
Glacier raised an eyebrow then ordered another for them both, he smiled on the inside at their appetite; "Those two kids... I guess I can't give them too much or they will be sick but they deserve a full stomach." He thought as he gave them a slightly bigger meal than the first, this one lasting a little while longer.
Glacier finished his and looked at the two, both had a slight amount of sauce around their muzzles and he had to wipe it off; "You enjoy that?" he asked, noting their slightly bigger stomachs so you couldn't see their ribs anymore.
Nox nodded; "Yep, I did, did you?" he asked Naxon, who nodded vigorously. Glacier got out of his chair and walked out, Nox and Naxon close behind, no longer to be afraid of being in public around Glacier.
A few people stared at the fox cubs and their supposed father but put it behind them and continued eating.
Nox and Naxon were on a bed in the doctor's office, Glacier standing next to them while a female raccoon looked over them. When it came to checking their heartbeat, it took Glacier to hold down the little cubs because they wouldn't stop laughing when the cold stethoscope touched their chest. Glacier sighed and wiped his brow, which was lined with sweat from holding the energetic foxes; "Was I like this when I was a kid?" he wondered then what he dreaded came next.
The raccoon came forward with two needles, they had found out earlier that Naxon and Nox didn't have the necessary injections and needed them now. Nox looked up and saw them first and paled, he tried to run but Glacier held him still as the doctor put in the needle.
Nox screamed bloody murder as he felt the cold metal of the syringe hit his arm. Glacier covered his right ear with one of his hands to block out the cream and let go a moment later, he just rocked Nox slightly; "Nox? It's done." He murmured softly.
Nox stopped screaming and opened one eye then looked at his arm, a soft cotton bud was there and not a drop of blood had been spilt. Naxon looked relieved and let go of his ears as he realised Nox had stopped screaming.
Nox blushed then smiled; "That didn't hurt!" he said with false bravado, Glacier just chuckled and ruffled his bangs. Naxon stepped up nervously and he got his shot just like Nox, yet unlike Nox, he didn't scream and only closed his eyes and held Glacier hand while doing so.
The Doctor told Glacier that he should contact him every month so he could check up on how his sons were doing. Glacier smiled broadly when he said that, he looked at the cubs and saw that they were staring at him with smiles on their faces. It seemed Glacier was doing well to fit into the father role of the cub's lives.
Glacier walked back home with Nox and Naxon in tow, both were excited and happy about their time with Glacier but that was about to come to an end… A large dog from behind reached down and snagged up the kids.
Naxon yelped in surprise, alerting Glacier that something was wrong. He turned around to fins a large dog, a Saint Bernard, with both cub's under his arms. He was dress in a red suit and a flat red hat on his head.
Glacier snarled but realised he was not alone; several other dogs surrounded Glacier with machine guns! They had found out where he lived…
The Saint Bernard snickered; "Ah Glacier. You should now not to take you eyes off your kids! You are going to learn that the hard way!" he yelled and began constricting his arms, crushing Nox and Naxon between them. Nox and Naxon screamed out in pain, but mostly calling out for their father.
The dogs aimed at Glacier and he froze; "I will be shot down before I even reach them! What do I do?!" he yelled in his mind as he tried to block out the scream of the cubs that ripped his soul apart.
The Saint Bernard laughed heartily; "Yes Glacier the Wolf. I see you are smart not to attack he great Mario! That would be insane!" he boasted.
Glacier tilted his head slightly and couldn't help it, he chuckled for a second; "Mario?! Oh come ON! Who names their kid after a veteran Nintendo character?!" he thought then was brought back to the situation; "Sigh… Sorry kids… I failed you..." he thought in sorrow.
Mario bellowed heartily then stopped, his eyes became pure white and he slowly turned around and his jaw dropped before falling to the ground. A massive hole in the back of his shirt! Naxon and Nox ran over to Glacier but the remaining dogs fired at them!
The bullets never hit their targets though… small jolts of lightning knocked them off course! They all turned to a newcomer that generated the jolts. It was a green wolf that seemed to be hidden in the shadows of a tree for the moment

"So… need an insane person? I'M YOUR MAN!" the figure cried then jumped into the light, showing a very dark green wolf that had three crystals imbedded in his arm…
Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time. Hand grenades in every line!
He jumped over a dog with a machine gun and grabbed it; the green wolf then put it between his knees and snapped it in half!
Throw 'em up and let something shine. Going out of my 'F'ing mind
The two pieces of the gun he used to clap over the dogs head, the pieces of the gun that were sticking out from it breaking into two halves were used as spikes as it penetrated the dogs head and he fell to the floor.
Filthy mouth, no excuse. Find a new place to hang this noose!
The wolf back flipped and jumped over another two dogs, he grabbed their heads and grinned. Electricity flooded through his hands and began to surge through the two captive canines. They were roasted in seconds!
String me up from atop these roofs. Knot it tight so I won't get loose.
Glacier and the cubs, who were hiding behind Glacier, were in awe as the wolf decimated the small army. Even when the wolf was fired upon from the group of remaining wolves with machine guns, he seemed to dodge every one!
Truth is you can stop and stare. Run myself out and no one cares.
Dug the trench out laid down there. With a shovel up out of reach somewhere.
The wolf finally brought his arms out and let loose tons of electrical energy, it surged through the dogs bodies and they were disintegrated very quickly. Glacier quickly stood up and talked the wolf before he could do any more. Surprisingly, all Glacier did was pull out the three shards in the wolf's arm.
Glacier sighed in relief as the wolf became a deep green colour; "Go all out this time? I thought you would have known better than that Bolt." He said extending his arm to the wolf.
Bolt smirked; "Not even I can cross half the world on my own in half an hour! I needed some assistance if I needed to get in here in time." He reasoned, like what he did to the dogs was reasonable by this explanation.
Glacier shrugged; "Just don't let you-know-who near Naxon and Nox." He warned and bent down to see them eye to eye, Bolt did the same.
"So these are the guys you told me about… They good at the useful stuff like climbing up walls and all that?" he asked hopefully. When Glacier shook his head, Bolt groaned; "Oh well, I was hoping to have some guys to play vertical tag once and a while with me." He murmured.
Glacier chuckled and picked the cubs up; "Thanks for you help Bolt, stay with us until the battle." He said winking at him then frowning; "But no wild parties, I went out for five minutes and you loaded the place up with random strangers last time you stayed!" he scolded.
Bolt chuckled nervously; "Wouldn't think of it!" he said while holding a phone behind his back, he crossed out 'Party at Glace's house' from his schedule.
Glacier tucked in Naxon and Nox in single beds, Nox had already gone to sleep but Naxon was having more trouble; "Daddy? I'm scared." He murmured softly.
Glacier sat on his bed softly, giving him a concerned look; "What is it?" he asked quietly so not to wake Nox up.
Naxon whimpered; "Well… I was told that a bad man comes out at night when you don't have someone with you and it's dark. Nox is asleep in that bed and… I'm scared he'll come and get me!" he said shivering.
Glacier smiled; "It's okay. Here… this will help you sleep and keep the 'Bad man' away." He said going over to a cupboard and pulling something out, it was a slightly ragged teddy bear. Glacier remembered that he used to have this with him always since he was scared of the dark when he was little.
He gave it to Naxon, who immediately grabbed it and snuggled up to it, he smiled and fell asleep just after murmuring; "I love you daddy…" softly.
Glacier smiled then closed the door only slightly, Reina was in the guest room and Bolt was on the couch, or was… he was currently on the carpet snoring after Glacier pushed him over for snoring so loud that it kept Nox up.
Bolt, Reina and Glacier stood in a street… Alone. An entire army of dogs stood in front of them. Glacier looked to Bolt next to him; "Are you sure you told the other to meet us here? They are an hour late!" he complained, he wasn't sure how long the dogs would remain patient.
Bolt shrugged; "Pretty sure, I gave them the message." He said and held up something; "I had to use this since I am not on a plan with my mobile." He explained.
Glacier face palmed; "We're doomed…" he murmured, Bolt was holding a pigeon with a message attachd to it's leg!
Reina gulped; "At least Nox and Naxon are somewhere safe." She muttered to him, trying to make him feel a bit more relieved even though she was scared for her life. Glacier nodded then faced a dog that came forward slightly.
"Ah, Glacier. You brought two friends but you don't stand a chance against my army." He said confidently. He looked like the boss; he wore a tuxedo and looked kind of old to be a grunt.
Glacier snarled; "We will take you all down! I will make sure the Rabid Canines won't harm another person!" he yelled at him.
The boss snickered; "You and what army?!" he yelled back grinning… then it suddenly turned to a frown and his face paled; "Oh dear…"

Glacier turned around and came face to face with a familiar female wolf, she had black and silver fur with a grey stripe across her eyes, which are dark blue, she wore a white shirt with a v-neck and it's had a red rose on it, with jeans. She wore a yellow locket and her shoes look like Espio but silver and green.
"Hey Glace! We heard Bolt's message (even if it was primitive) and we are here to fight!" she said proudly but whispered the middle bit, she was grinning broadly and had the look in her eyes that seemed to scream 'Bring it'.
Glacier looked behind her and saw a small army of wolves, he smirked; "Thanks Envy." He murmured then turned back; "What army? Why… THIS ONE!"
