The next day early morning.
A very sore 17 year old teenager woke up to the smell of bacon. He slowly got up and realized he was lying on a sofa at Steve an Ino's house. He could tell by the pictures of them all around. He saw one picture that caught his eye. A young Ino was smiling being held between Steve and a blond haired women who must have been her mom. They look so happy. I wish I new what that felt like. it took him a little bit but he eventually got up and walked into the kitchen seeing Steve sitting down with a cup of coffee and a newspaper while Ino had an apron on and was whipping up some eggs and bacon. damn she's cute."
the blond haired teen placed the eggs and bacon on a couple of plates then placed them on the table for dale and Steve. " Good morning, make sure you eat breakfast before it gets cold." dale sat down and started to scarf down the bacon an eggs " Damn I see your hungry."
The amnesic hero wiped some egg off his face " I'm sorry it's just I'm so hungry. I can't even remember the last time I ate."
The ex police cop put his paper down and in a serious tone asked " Dale I know this might be hard for you but please tell me what you do remember. Any little detail could help."
Dale finished his eggs and went into deep thought " I'm sorry I can't remember anything. All I can remember is what happened the last two days. Ever since last night I've been racking my brain about why those goons were after me an what the hell those powers were."
Steve took a sip of his coffee " Look last night was, I don't know what that was but that group seemed real dangerous. Plus what were those powers you and that multicolored eyed guy have. You had powers of an animal and some sort of elemental power. Do you know what that was."
The wolf teen sighed " Honestly I have no idea how I even used those powers. You guys were in danger and I just lost it. The power just came along with the rage. I don't think I could use that power again."
Ino smiled " I hope you never even have to try and use it again."
"thanks Ino." The yellow eyed man began to frowned. "I don't mean to be ungrateful but why are you guys being so nice to me. You guys just met me but you take me in and treat me like I'm part of the family. Did you know my mom really well is that why."
With a sad an aged look Steve first asked his daughter " Ino you know that case file that I'm always looking at could you get it for me"
Ino went and got it without hesitation " Here you go dad but why do you need this. I mean isn't this case form 18 years ago what could it have to do with dale."
With an authorities tone to tell her not to asked anymore questions. " It has everything to do with dale." he then turned his attention to the super powered teen. " This is the case that lost me my marriage and my job. I became so obsessed with it because the bastard who did this was so evil that he had to be found no matter what. Alright this case happened 18 year ago, a man by the name of Beck Dixon killed a family and raped their 17 year old daughter. She probably would've of been killed to if it wasn't for her boyfriend who was able to fend him off but was seriously wounded doing so. Me and my ex partner Bob found the girl. We took the girl and the boyfriend to the hospital but somehow beck snuck in an kidnapped the girl an killed the boyfriend."
Ino screamed " Oh My god that's horrible dad. I never knew that the case you always worked on was so horrible."
Dale couldn't believe someone could do that " How could anyone be that evil. I can't even imagine doing something so horrible."
Steve covered his eyes trying to block out the images of that faithful day. " that's not the worst part. Beck didn't just kill them he some how blew them up from the inside. The only thing that wasn't blown up was the head that he left perfectly intact. I have no idea how he did it but." He took a second to stop himself form gagging. The images were still fresh in his mind like it happened yesterday " I was on guard at that girls room when she was kidnapped I blamed myself and I swore I would find that man an bring him to justice."
Ino never herd this story and started to cry she then ran over to her dad an hugged him. "Dad I never knew."
"because I didn't want you to know." Steve sighed
While crying she managed to squeaked out a few words " Why tell (sniff) now(sniff)."
Ino's dad rubbed his daughter hair before looking directly in dale's yellow eyes " Now the reason I tell you this now is because the girl that was kidnapped that day was Lauren Dougherty. You wanted to know why I'm helping you it's because I couldn't help your mother but maybe I can redeem myself by helping you her son."
Dale tried held back his tears " So my mom was raped by that bastard Beck?" At first he was sad then anger followed " That bastard did all that to my mom. Steve let me help you find this bastard please let me deliver justice to him so my mom can rest in piece." You could literally see the fire behind his yellow eyes. For a second Ino could swear they became red just like before.
"Alright but you have to go to school starting tomorrow. You'll have to help me at work and do school beside all that you'll have train during your free time." Ino an dale questioned "training?" Steve answered " Yes training those RFB guys will probably be coming back for you and if you train and learn how to use your powers at will you could help a lot of people."
"Ok but who's going to train me. I mean who could teach me how to use these powers I mean it's not the most common thing."
The ex cop smiled "Well there's this guy I called he use to live in Japan up in the mountains. He's a master of martial arts and is also known for being able to bring out the potential of people."
Ino looked at him questionably " you can't mean him. Come on he's a pervert he always looks up my skirt and tries to steal my panties. There's no way that guy's strong."
"Trust me he's extremely strong even though he's an idiot and a pervert." A light chuckle escaped his lips. " Don't worry dale he'll help. But for now I think you should lay back down on the couch and get some rest. You had some pretty horrible wounds they shouldn't really be moving that much"
Dale waved his hand in a dismissive manner " don't worry about me I realized that I heal fast, so I'm ok just a little sore."
"Are you sure about that. I mean you were seriously hurt." He saw that dales eyes weren't lying. " alright but just as a precaution Ino can you check his bandages." there's no way he's alright. His wounds should take at least a week or two to fully heal.
Ino went over an asked " can you take your shirt off" dale took it off and gave to Ino right away. She blushed slightly before taking his bandages off an checking his room. " O my god. Dad all those nasty wounds are almost fully healed." she was about to place the bandage back on when she saw a horrible looking scar on his stomach. She put her finger on it a traced it with it. this scar is huge. It looks like someone cut him open with a knife or even a sword.
The mysterious teen giggled " Stop that tickles. Ino immediately pulled her hand away. " It's ok but what were you doing."
The blond haired teen looked like she was about to cry again " It's just that I saw an awful scar on your stomach. Dale what happened to you an who would be so cruel to give you a scar like that."
Something in dales brain clicked and lost control. He started to have a horrible migraine. Then a flood of memories came running through his mind. He couldn't take it an passed down on the floor.
5 minutes later
Dale woke up and saw a worried Ino sitting next to him and Steve with a first aid kit in hand. The worried glance Ino gave him made him upset. I don't know why she gets upset over me who she just met but I don't like it when her face's like that she should be smiling. he placed his hand on her cheek " Don't worry I'm fine. You shouldn't make that face I like it better when you smiling."
Steve also was worried " What happened you just suddenly passed out."
With a grim look out hero replied " memories"
"Memories of what?" Both Yamanaka's asked in concern.
"Ino I don't really want you to hear this." Ino shook her head determined to find out what was going on with this mysterious kid. " Alright well all I can remember is that I was in some sort of lab being experimented on. I don't know exactly what they were doing but whatever it was it was painful. I can still feel the excruciating pain from that memory."
Ino looked in shock but Steve expected something like that " Dale I know it's painful but can you remember anything specific."
Our hero went back an looked at his painful memory. " Yea there are two things that stick out. The first was that symbol on that guys Mizuki's clothes on the wall. The second thing that stood out was a man. He looked at me as if he was a tiger ready to eat. He definitely had some sort of grudge against me. That's all I can remember." He then smacked his fist against the table " Damn it who are these people and who the hell am I. am I just some lab rat that they don't want to lose. Is that all I am?"
The blond girl couldn't take it anymore and wrapped her arms around Dale for a heart felt hug " Calm down that's not true. I've only known you for 2 days and I can already tell you that you are much more then that."
the broken hero gave Ino a tormented gaze " but how do you know that how?"
Ino couldn't really answer that question. She didn't know him well enough to answer such a serious question by facts, she only had a felling. Dale was about to say something to her for the lack of an answer when he was smacked upside the head. At first he thought It was Steve but then he realized that Steve was standing in front of him. " oh man Steve it seems you really found a troublesome guy this time. Man I'm going to have my hand full." dale whipped his head around. The man who smacked him was a 50 year old man with white hair who was around 6'2 wore all white, white samurai pants and a white martial arts vest. He even had a white staff with the design of a pipe smoking frog with a dagger eating a purple snake.
The blonde ex cop ran over an gave the white haired man a big as hug " Holy shit Jiraiya what the hell are you doing here. I didn't think you were coming till tomorrow."
"when you told me about what happened to you last night an that boy I knew that I was needed sooner then later." Jiraiya answered his old friend.
The boy with wolf eyes moved away from Ino and asked " Who are you and why did you smack me on the back of the head you old fart"
In a blink of an eye the old hermit's staff was half and inch away from dale face " I'm the person who is going to train you. And to give you a hint I'm still young enough to kick your ass."
As Jiraiya slowly moved his staff away from his face he pointed at him and had a stupid looking expression on his face " holy shit your that perverted sage." some how the turn of event made dale forget his feelings for the moment
With a look of shock " Who told you that, that's not true I'm just a lady's man. When girls look at me they faint from my beauty" Ino and Dale both laughed in disbelief " Ino you told him I was a pervert. It's because of that underwear incident. Come on I told you it was an accident I stumbled an anciently fell into your panties. It was an accident I swear."
Cracking her knuckled the blond teen murderously glared " Then how did they wind up on your head."
Fiddling with his finger trying to think of a response " well um you see umm damn" he couldn't answer so instead he slid next to Dale and put his hand up to his mouth trying to make sure Ino didn't hear him " For smacking you on the head I'll give you a present. Think of it as a way to say I'm sorry, Ino has a lot of purple panties. Their nice trust me."
Jiraiya thought he said that quietly but he was wrong. He actually said it pretty loud which let everyone here what he said. Even Ino who wound up giving the old pervert an uppercut strait to the jaw. Dale then went over to Ino with a devilish smirk on his face "so Ino you like purple, well as a matter of fact I love purple to." crack. Another uppercut strait to the jaw. Even with her anger she couldn't hide that she was blushing from Jiraiya and Dale.
"Damn it Jiraiya your perverseness is starting to infect Dale." the two men tried to get up after facing hurricane Ino. Steve just shook his head slightly chuckling. " Ha this always happens when you come over. When you two recover meet me at my at my office Ino will take you."
Once the two were both up the looked petrified when Steve said Ino's name. Dale rubbed his jaw as he looked at he old hermit " Damn she got one hell of a punch remind me not to get on her bad side again."
Jiraiya also rubbed his jaw. " Damn her punch has gotten stronger each year. We were lucky there kid she usually doesn't stop with just one punch. She must like you."
"Well I guess so she just met me but I'd have to say she is my first friend" The amnesic boy smiled while scratching his head. Good god kids are dumb these day's when it comes to this stuff. " oh I see, anyways we better say sorry to Ino and meet Ace at his office."
"Ace, who's Ace ?" dale questioned
" Oh I guess he didn't tell you. Well that's understandable. Now to answer your question Ace is Steve's nickname and before you ask how he got that name I'll tell you. He was an ace marksman when he was on the force. He could hit a can dead on with a pistol from 150 feet away. Because of that every one called him ace. If I was you I wouldn't though" Dale of course asked " Why not." the hermit replied " well it's kind of a sore subject an I don't think it's my place to say. A word of advice though don't ask him about it he'll eventually tell you."
"Alright I guess I understand, anyway lets go." dale nodded.
20 minutes later at Steve's private detective's office
Ace aka Steve looked at Jiraiya and told him " Now the reason I brought you two here is to show you where you two will be training." He opened up a hidden door that was under a rug. The door had a staircase that went down a good 20 feet. At the end of the stairs was a huge room, the size of a football field. The only thing that was in the room was a couple of beds a fridge an a radio.
Yamanaka's daughter looked at her father in shock " Dad what is this room. I had no idea that this place was even here."
"well you see dear this office was built on top of an old millionaires bomb shelter. He was a bit eccentric and made the biggest bomb shelter ever made. I only found this place about two months ago. I didn't tell you about it because I didn't think it was that big of a deal." the apologetic father answered his daughter.
Ino didn't say anything further but you could tell by her face that Steve would get yelled at later on. Jiraiya looked around the place and smiled " This place is perfect. Steve did you get that stuff I asked for."
"Yea of course I mean you did leave it here two years ago, here let me get it for you" he went upstairs grabbed two big bags with dust on them an struggled back downstairs with it. He eventually made it an placed it in front of the hermit.
Jiraiya bent down and opened it ( dust went flying when he did this) up pulling out huge vest looking like thing and a crappy old wooden sick. He then opened up the other bag looking at it for a second and then closing it back up. " alright we got everything we need."
Dale looked at the other bag with curiosity " say perverted hermit what's in the other bag."
"you are not ready for what's in the other bag. However you will find out soon enough." he then turned his attention to Ace " Say Steve what time is it." Ace answered right away " 10 AM" Jiraiya rubbed his chin in though " alright I guess it's time for training. Steve and Ino I think you guys should leave. However come back at 6 PM to get us and bring a first aid kit with you."
Both Ino and Dale cringed when he said that. Ino and Steve left but before that Ino whispered in our hero's ear " Good luck an be careful" Dale replied " Ok"
Once they were gone Jiraiya threw the wooden sick toward dale which he caught "What the hell am I going to do with a piece of wood. That Mizuki had a fucking ice sword. Hmm let me think ice sword vs. piece of wood. I wood have to say piece of wood get it's ass kicked."
The old hermit smacked dale on top of the shoulder hard with his staff " Shut up. If you'd let me explain you would realize that not just a piece of wood. Dumb ass"
"Oww, alright what does this piece of would do to make it special." the wolf eyed teen asked while rubbing his shoulder."
"Well you see that piece of wood is just a piece of wood right now but do you see those inscriptions on it." Dale looked and some weird looking symbols. " those symbols will look into your sub consciousness when you awaken your powers that piece of wood will turn into a weapon specifically made for you."
Dale looked at the piece of wood in awe " Cool, so I just have to use those powers I did last night and I'll get a weapon to help me fight against those RFB bastards" Jiraiya shook his head up and down signaling yes. " Alright let's get wild." Dale focused and tried to draw out his powers. 30 minutes later an Dale still hadn't awakened his powers " Damn it why can't I awaken them again. Shit I was able to do last night."
"Calm down forcing it won't work. Alright it'll work just don't get frustrated. Wait I got and idea when you awoken your powers last time what was going through your mind."
Dale thought back to last night. well Ino was in trouble an I didn't want her to get hurt. a image of Ino in pain about to be killed by Mizuki entered his mind. A second laughter our hero howled and transformed once again. He gained fangs and claws, his hair grew longer( think old axel rose in guns an roses long) and turned red along with his eyes. His arm hair an chest hair grew. It was also red. ( think wolverine chest and arm hair long.) " wow I look bad ass."
Jiraiya looked a little shocked wait a sec this kid couldn't be, nah that's impossible a kid like that can't hold such a huge destiny. he was shaken from his thoughts when dale asked
"I transformed but the piece of wood is still just a piece of wood"
"Ok now that you transformed just unleash a little bit of your elemental power" our hero nodded and a small amount of fire surrounded the hand that he was holding the stick with.
A few seconds later a huge blinding light bust out from the stick. Once the light died down the stick that was once in Dales hand had transformed into something much more. Dale held a battle axe with both hands. The axe had a pitch black hilt an the blade was red with a black wolf howling on one side and a golden wolf howling on the other side. However the axe wasn't the only thing Dales subconscious produced. Also a pair of blood red brass knuckles. Dale soon realized he could conduct his flame through each weapon.
jiraiya grinned. this is interesting he gained a battle axe. That must mean he's very strong willed and lead by his emotions, it also means he's very courageous, surprisingly enough he also gained brass knuckles. Now that means he has a deep conflict within himself that he must fight. This kid is definitely intriguing. I don't think I've ever seen brass knuckles and a battle axe paired up.
Dale was still in awe of the new weapons he just acquired when something occurred to him. "Hey old man Jiraiya I didn't realize it until just now but how do you know this stuff. A normal person shouldn't know about these powers and that stick you had wasn't something a normal person would have either. So my question is who are you really."
With a huge roaring laugh " Well you see I am a man of many talents." all of a sudden Jiraiya transformed. He had a toad nose and tong his skin also looked a bit slimy " as you can see I have a talent similar to you." He raised his hand creating a ball of water. The old hermit then threw the ball of water at dales axe. The water ball extinguished the flame on the axe creating a good amount of steam. " Your power is fire mine is the opposite water."
Our hero was in complete shock, he stood there dumbfounded for at least a minute or two " wait a minute your like me. Honestly who the hell are you."
Jiraiya leaped a good 20 feet in the air before landing right in front of dale. " You see I was one of the founding members of the RFB." it was like a ton of bricks just fell on top of dale
"What." with a sad smile the old hermit answered. "alright I guess I should start from the beginning. About 30 years ago I found out about my powers and was taken in by the government to be their guinea pig and to do the most dangerous missions for them. I did that for about 4 years until I finally escaped. I moved to Japan and lived up in the mountains and trained to become stronger so I could protect myself if the government ever came after me again. I trained myself in the mountains for at least 3 years until I met a 3 man group. They were like me. We were all exploited by our governments and we didn't want that to happen to others like us. So we created the RFB as a place of refuge for our kind. We would protect them from people who would want to abuse their powers. "It was great the 4 of us searched the globe an found a crap load of people like us. It was the happiest time of my life but it didn't last forever. Actually it only lasted about five years. My old friends started to become like the people we opposed. They thought that our kind was better than humans. So they started using people like us to prove that we were the superior beings. They became exactly like the government I hated. They were no longer trying to protect our species instead they were turning them into weapons against mankind. So I left and have been doing whatever I can to fight against them since"
"what happened, how did you find out what they were doing. Who were these three men. How did you escape, when did you meet Steve, what were those symbols on that stick, how is this all possible." A whole list of question came rushing out of dale.
"Slow down those are stories for another time. Now it's time for some training. So grab your axe. Will begin with armed combat first. The one thing I will tell you now is that people like us are called bestia del Diablo, the devils beasts" Jiraiya pulled out his staff and pointed it at dale's face. " Let's begin"
"But how your staff going to compete against my fire axe" all of a sudden the perverted hermit swiped his staff in front of dales face. This time dale was able to barley dodge it by moving his head back just in time " Ha you missed old man." them all of a sudden he realized the blood was dripping from the top of his nose
"Your axe isn't the only special weapon see my staff is the same as your axe." the tip of the staff had a blade of water on it. It was hard to see making it harder to avoid. " you see this isn't a staff but a water spear."
"alright old man let's get wild" Dale picked up his axe and turned it a blaze. Then charged at Jiraiya with speed no human can posses. He swung his axe down with all of his power at Jiraiya.
The perverted hermit blocked it with his staff only using on hand. " Your to anxious. You need to learn how to control your powers." as punishment he swung his staff nailing dale in the face. Sending him flying. " Man if you continue like this Ino an Steve are going to be in big trouble."
The wolf teen got up and wiped the blood off of his lip " what the hell are you talking about."
"The RFB wants you kid an they'll use Ino and Steve to get you. They won't be safe unless your strong enough to protect them" the toad sage explained
The image of Mizuki almost killing Ino ran through his head again. All of a sudden dale whole body was engulfed in flames " I won't let that happen."
"that's the spirit kid. Come on show me what you got." seem like I found the thing that'll motivate him. But that power he has isn't average. Hmm he's a red wolf type and has the power of fire, he can't be the destined child can he. Nah that's just a legend.
4 hours later
A beaten and exhausted Dale passed out from all the fighting. " Wow he lasted longer then I expected. Well no matter I'll let him rest for a little while. He deserves it." Jiraiya told himself. damn once that kid learns how to control his power he could become a force to be reckoned with. That's still a whiles off. As of right now he could probably match up with the weaker lieutenants. I feel bad for you kid god's dealt you a bad hand in life. I wonder what you'll do with it
