Silverhowl

Chapter 7- The Dream

Junior was in his room, DJ cradled next to him. They were both covered in the blankets, but also seemed to be dreaming of something, as DJ often kicked the air.

DJ and Junior were flying. Well, in reality, DJ was the one flying; Junior was riding on his back. DJ wasn't a Viperwolf anymore, he was a dragon. He resembled an axolotl with three pairs of wings, three ear-like appendages on the back of his head and his eyes were still the same. Also, he still had his markings, only his shape had changed. DJ opened his mouth and shot silver flame that suddenly fed itself with the wind and turned into a fire storm. Junior was delighted, DJ roared, showing his retractable fangs. Ten he dived down, he could feel the wind on his face. Junior was initially afraid, but eventually began to enjoy it. After a while, DJ opened his wings and made a pirouette and some curves…

But like in all dreams, they had to wake up.

The sun rose high in the sky and Junior and DJ moaned in frustration and annoyance; they wanted to keep dreaming with flying. But life was that way, you dream something and then you have to wake up and return to reality. Finally, both Junior and DJ budged and woke up, they went to the living room to watch T.V... However, everyone was already there, and the T.V. was occupied. Frustrated, DJ and Junior went out to the garden; the Viperwolves were apparently practicing their powers in there. Corey was skating on an ice path made by his ice breath, Willy was taking many shapes by stretching himself, Fox was destroying rocks with his head, Shawn was apparently invisible as he was nowhere on sight, Bites was running as faster as a bullet in circles to try and make a tornado and Jule was making different kinds of plants grow. Sheryl, however, was just staring at them. Demon was staring at a bird, and his eyes were pure white, the bird did as he commanded mentally. Nava was resting next to him. DJ would have loved to play with them, but he was too upset right now… "Powerless"… that word still echoed in his mind, why hadn't he powers like the rest? What had he done wrong? Hadn't he the gene?

"Don't worry, DJ…" Junior tried to comfort his black-and-white Viperwolf, "surely when you get your powers they will be coolest than the rest! But hey… I had a weird dream last night… I dreamt I was riding on a black-and-white dragon with your markings and we danced in the skies…"

DJ peered his ears front and wagged his tail…

"You had the same dream too…?"

DJ nodded, but he suddenly took a weird position… he bunted forward, opened his mouth and growled, as if trying to breath fire.

"You were a dragon?"

DJ nodded once again

"Now THAT'S something… what do you think it means?"

DJ bowed his head to one side, as if telling that he didn't know either.

Fawful was reading some books about Viperwolves. Midbus came in.

"Hey, boss, what are you doing?" he asked

"I'm trying to find a location of Silverhowls!" Fawful exclaimed

"Silverhowls? I think the Koopa Royal Family got some of those"

"What? And they have powers?"

"Powers?"

"See, Silverhowls have abilities that make them unique among the Viperwolf species. F I could get some of them, I'm sure I would conquer the entire world easily!"

"But how would you extract their powers?"

"… I haven't figured out that yet… YOU GET SOME EXTRACTION BOOKS AND START READING!"

"What? And why don't you search for a spell yourself?"

"Because I have to go and see those famous Silverhowls for myself, and figure out which powers they have"

Then Fawful went out of his hideout and headed for Bowser's castle

Jule was trying to make an apple tree grow, but he only managed to grow a Lemon tree. He didn't see that Fox was trying to lift up a rock with his front legs… but Fox couldn't maintain himself on his two back legs for much time, and he fell backwards, throwing the rock towards Jule's lemon tree and crushing it. Jule was stunned and angry at the same time; he glared at Fox and bared his teeth at him. Suddenly, his eyes turned green and thorn plants grew around Fox, wrapping him completely. Fox got angry and plucked the thorn plants out of the ground and threw them again but one of the plants hit an invisible Shawn's tail. Shawn joined the fight and attacked Fox, still being invisible. Willy, Bites, Corey and Sheryl howled and growled at them, as if telling them to stop. Not even Demon or Nava could stop them. Fox finally managed to grab one of Shawn's back legs and throw him against a tree. Shawn whined in pain as he reappeared laying under the shadow of the tree. Bites and Willy went to see if he was okay, Jule began to shop razor leaves at Fox; he couldn't avoid it and received many cuts. Finally, Nava and Demon ran towards Jule and Fox respectively and held them down by their necks with their fangs. Jule and Fox growled angrily and struggled violently to get free. DJ and Junior couldn't believe what they saw; it was like seeing a dog and a cat fighting. After a while, Jule and Fox calmed down, Nava and Demon let them go and went away. Willy and Bites helped Shawn to stand up and took him inside; Corey went next to DJ and growled him gently, as if telling him something. Fox and Jule looked at each other for a few seconds and then walked away in different directions, Sheryl went to the castle t take a nap and Corey went away with his ice path. DJ peered down his ears and howled, Junior ducked next to him and patted his head.

Meanwhile, Fawful had been staring the scene and war writing on a sheet of paper

"Freeze… Super-Stretching… Super-Strength… Invisibility… the pink one didn't do anything, but maybe she has a defense-based power… Plant Control… Super-Speed… and that pup over there doesn't seem to have any powers, so he will be of no use…" he wrote

After he was done, Fawful went back to his lair, hoping Midbus had found something.
