IN THE BLOODY SUNRISE YOU SHALL TRULY AWAKEN

Huitzilopochtli stood fixed to the spot, as the other gods words hammered home. He suddenly felt out of his depth something which he wasn't used to he looked down at the floor feeling the tension deep inside, this had to be a lie! He looked up feeling his hand form a fist. "You are lying, a soul can't just form like that I gave it no body!" Xochipilli turned sharply to face him once more. "You damn fool it doesn't need one! It just used the left over blood and flesh and all the other material that's at the pools heart to make its self one. There's even a chance that it's faking what it really looks like right now just to throw people of so they think that it's your angel Gabrielle!"

Huitzilopochtli shook his head. "I refuse to believe this insane notion! Souls do not create themselves and they do not make their own bodies, they are formed with godly sparks! Creation does not create itself!" Xochipilli put a hand on his face in annoyance. "Xena and Gabrielle weren't created separately they were one soul originally. This soul was later separated like so many others because Zeus feared its power." He raised both his hands. "Don't you understand how dangerous that power is? It's one of the flaws of their very creation. They must be together never apart! That violent part that you threw away is un-dead just like the angel you created it's lethal to every one around it and no mortal will be able to stop it in combat even your hummingbird warriors will fail!"

Ares pulled himself up keeping his hand on his bleeding shoulder as he eyed Huitzilopochtli. "You know he's right you pompous Aztec bastard, my father made soul mate threads in a very different way to others souls. What he's saying is not in impossible it's highly probable, he even made all the soul mate threads connections stronger to stop people from tearing them apart." He looked up slightly. "He made it so even if death there is always weak connection…." He laughed enjoying how mocking his laughter sounded. "He didn't think any one would ever be stupid enough to pull one apart and then throw away the parts, they didn't like. Trust me you're going to have a problem putting that primal incarnation back in its cage."

He smirked slightly enjoy the moment. "I've seen her she's all rage, all desire and all sexual drive. Oh and she really doesn't like anyone who gets in her way. She also believes that she owns everything." Xena stepped forward. "What in Tartarus are you people saying here!?" Ares turned to her seeing the anger and frustration in her face. "Allow me to explain this to you." He turned pointing at Huitzilopochtli. "That pompous idiot over there took your irritating little blonde girlfriend from you by stripping his soul from yours, as you know." He stepped forward making sure that his tone was as condescending as possible. "He thought, hey I don't like all of this soul so I'll strip the parts away which I don't like and toss them in to my so called creation pool. Then I'll use the parts I really like to create an angel, full of goodness and innocence that I can sleep with."

He narrowed his eyes. "He just didn't realize that in throwing away the really bad parts he would create another being an opposite of his so called perfect heavenly creation." He turned meeting her shocked gaze. "It created another Gabrielle one who's very evil." Xena pulled herself up fully eyeing him. "Gabrielle isn't evil!" Ares put his free hand on his chest. "No Xena this one is evil to core, imagine for a second taking all of Gabrielle's worst qualities and sticking them all together. He smiled slightly. "It's quite a fascinating picture when you think about it, with out all those really nice parts that you love to convene and control her emotions she doesn't seem so charming, in fact she reminds me of you in your warlord days."

Xena sneered eyeing him in disgust. "Shut up." Ares turned eyeing the Aztec war god. "It gets better though, the souls you've made are now starting to become the embodiment of their true forms. No doubt your precious angel has already started to change as has the really evil part, which you threw away thinking it was no more than spare parts." Xena looked down slowly this was awful this was not what how she'd imagined it. She put her hand on her face she had imagined just being able to bring Gabrielle back easily. It all made a horrible sense though why she'd failed when trying to capture her soul. She hadn't done anything wrong she'd done it all perfectly but it had all gone wrong because of this!

She felt her eyes dart as she looked up. "That's why it didn't work, when I tried to trap Gabrielle's soul, it didn't work because I only had one part I needed both didn't I?" Xochipilli looked down sadly. "I'm sorry I didn't know that this had happened Xena, but your right it failed because you didn't have both sides of her soul." Xena shook her head. "I don't blame you you've helped me in every way possible." Ares ignored the pain in his shoulder it was only the fact that he was still a god that he wasn't dieing he eyed Huitzilopochtli. "Well now that we've established that you're an idiot, can some one heal me?!" Xochipilli stepped forward meeting Huitzilopochtli's golden gaze. "You know what you have to do to fix this."

Huitzilopochtli snarled as he grabbed hold of Xochipilli's white jaguar skin pulling him forward savagely. "She's mine! I will not give her back!" Xochipilli eyed him in disgust he turned seeing Xena grab her sword of the floor. He slowly turned back to face him. "Don't be a fool Huitzilopochtli! You can't control that second soul it does not care about you, it's a violent rogue!" He felt the other gods grip tighten. "Are you willing to let the people in your city be harmed because of your so called love?" Huitzilopochtli roared in anger as leaned forward. "She is mine! I love her!" Xochipilli shook his head. "If you love her then do what is right for her! Don't keep her this way its wrong! She deserves better than that!"

"Get your hands of my brother!"

Huitzilopochtli turned only feel the pain as a multicoloured fireball slammed in to his shoulder causing him to let go of the other man. He watched as Xochiquetzal appeared in a blast of multicoloured light next to his throne followed by Chantico who appeared seated on it. Chantico watched as he snarled at Xochiquetzal, she rose her hand watching as a fire ball appeared in it. "Touch her and I will hurt you!"

Gabrielle looked at her counter part feeling an odd sensation hit home it was the feeling of anger but not like the anger she'd felt before. It was a disgusted anger that this being was part of her. She was so evil so with out remorse and she revealed in the thought of conquering. As for her sexual desires they were a whole other level of disgusting. How could this ever be part of her it was so foul? If she was meant to be the river then this was in essence the muddy bottom under it. She knew her counter part wasn't lying to her what she'd said was all true. Some how it didn't make it any easier to accept, if she was part of the real Gabrielle then what was the real Gabrielle like when she had her and her counterpart in side her?

Had she been kind, loving and caring? Or had she been cruel and evil like the counterpart? If she was evil then was it right for ether of them to ever be put back together. In doing so, it would bring an evil person back who would make others suffer. She held her dog tighter stretching her wings outwards ruffling her feathers. "I want an answer to one of my questions!" Blood Jaguar sneered slightly. "Don't believe that stalling me will buy you time I am going to kill you one way or another." Gabrielle kept her eyes fixed with her counterparts. "I had headaches and I passed out why was that?" Blood Jaguar laughed enjoying the mocking sound. "You are truly a fool you don't you understand anything!"

She felt her teeth grind together. "It hurts because we aren't meant to be apart, it's a side effect off being cut in to bits and put back together again. In your case you just take the pain or pass out. I deal with it by eating, because when I'm filling my stomach it takes my mind off it." She eyed the terrified girl. "Other things take it away as well." Gabrielle breathed not liking the lustful look as it spread across the counter parts face. "Let that girl go, she never did anything to you!" Blood Jaguar turned eyeing her in disgust. "Are you seriously going to try and take her from me?" She sniggered slightly. "I think not, you see you're the really weak part who's terrified of her own shadow."

Gabrielle raised her weapon higher. "You are disgusting I can't believe we are part of the same person. I find it vile to think that you even exist, you have no morals!" Blood Jaguar felt an evil smile form. "Yes that's right I have no morals that is who I am and I don't like the fact that such a naïve weakling like you exists." She let go of her axe watching as it smashed in to floor, she felt her smile widen. "How's about I show you the real me? Then we'll see how brave you are little girl." She rose her hand watching as it started to shake. "As I said before I took the really interesting part." She watched as blood started to drip down her fingers as long black claws burst through splitting through her finger nails.

She laughed feeling her long canine teeth grind together as they grew longer claws burst through the fingers on her other hand causing a pain that was almost pleasurable. "Allow yourself a glimpse of true fear." Gabrielle breathed in sharply listening to the awful sound as her counterparts bones started to crack as they started to move, she took another step back hearing the girls terrified screams hit the air. Red bloody muscle burst through the other woman's skin causing it to rip apart violently. Her fear hit home fully as claws burst out from the feet as the skin pealed of as huge muscled feet burst through. A huge mass of muscle burst through the legs as the knees cracked in wards forming long huge wolf life limbs followed by a long tail breaking through.

Huge muscles burst through tearing the outer skin off along with its clothing on the chest and waist followed by large shoulders growing upwards and outwards. An animal like roar hit the air as the head was torn apart as huge wolf skulled face came through. It shook as it threw the fake skin off as its long ears lowered. She stood still frozen on the spot hearing her dogs whimper hit the air as the last of the skin fell away. Thick red fur and flesh started to grow covering all the red bloody muscles and bone on most of the body including the face. She watched as two sets of long canine teeth grew upwards on both the upper and lower jaw.

Two huge black bull horns suddenly tour their way out of its head which now had a thick mane of red fur. These huge demonic looking bull horns stretched towards the heavens as they grew upwards. They started to split creating a second lesser horn which was attached to the main horn. One of the meter long double horns grew up to full length on one side. Its counter part seemed to stop on the right side nether of its horn parts growing to full length, making it look like it was broken. She breathed in sharply as other things started to change. On the monsters upper shoulders the red fur and skin started to denigrated away revealing the red bloody muscles underneath. The same thing happened on the creature's right outer leg

There was a horrible tearing sound as an area on the upper back tour away followed by a huge long claw mark like scar appearing on the monsters right eye causing the green light to fade as it turned to a milky white colour. She knew it was a werewolf she didn't know how she knew she just did, the only difference was the horns. Her counterpart was more like the skeleton warriors in that she was a walking corpse, with horrific wounds. She listened as the roar died down as the horned werewolf leaned forward blood leaking through its teeth which were over grown just like its claws. The girl next to her counterpart stopped screaming as utter terror appeared in her eyes as the werewolf took a step forward eyeing her.

There were only two items of clothing on its body a long Aztec skirt which was a bigger version of hers the only difference was that it was cut at the back to allow the tail to move. Her counterpart also had a pair of gauntlets on her wrists which were covered n red and orange colours. Thick and heavily detailed Aztec patterns ran down them. Blood Jaguar raised a clawed hand looking at the angel as her cold voice hit the air. "Still want to play with me weakling?" She moved her clawed fingers. "I can tear you in to pieces, so very easily." She smiled ignoring the pain it took to do so as it caused her over grown teeth to cut in to her lips. "It's a special part of the gift I have received."

Ahexotl stared at the wolf like animal what the hell was it he'd never seen anything like it? The only think that bared any similarity to it was the monster Ahuizotl but that wolf like creature had a monkey hand on its tail and it didn't have horns. He turned to Coaxoch who was just staring shock filling his glowing eyes. "Any idea of how we are going to get the girl?" Coaxoch breathed in deeply as he raised his weapon. "We'll have to lour this monstrous side away." Ahexotl rolled his eyes looking at the nervous warriors all around him. "Monstrous that's a mild term for it!" Coaxoch put his hand on the stone pillar. "Well at least every thing is crystal clear now." Ahexotl breathed in deeply keeping his eyes on the young girl. "I guess the nice side of the Blood Jaguar was telling the truth after all."

Coaxoch looked down slightly in thought. "We should use someone as bait to lore this walking wolf or what ever it is away so I can grab the girl while her attention is else where." Ahexotl turned sharply. "So who's going to be the bait?" Coaxoch smiled as he turned to him. "Well you should be, you've always said that no beast could ever scare you." Ahexotl rolled his eyes. "Yeah but I was drunk when I said that!" Coaxoch looked at him for a long moment. "I need you to do this Ahexotl, you are the best at what you do that is why it has to be you." Ahexotl breathed in deeply raising the axe higher. "Fine…you know I was right all along the Blood Jaguars soul is really messed up."

Gabrielle stepped back only to feel the water as it splashed against her ankles. She could see the one good glowing green eye looking at her while the other remained lifeless. "Why are you wounded?" Blood Jaguar raised her clawed hand higher. "Because it's the price I paid, for your nobility. The real Gabrielle's body was wounded and all those wounds got passed on to me when I created myself a body." She smiled again feeling her teeth cut in to her lips she watched as her counterpart moved back further in to the water her eyes wide in both fear and shock. "Don't think for a second that having my body parts showing means that I'm weak in any way! I could be stripped down to my bones and I'd still be able to breathe!"

She sniffed the air for a moment. "I can smell your fear from here angel, you aren't very good at hiding it." Gabrielle looked at the water at her feet before looking up. "I'm not afraid of you!" Blood Jaguar laughed enjoying the mocking sound as it hit the air. "You should be afraid of me." She leaned forward coming down on all fours. "Unlike you, I don't believe in mercy or love." She was about to say more only to find her words cut off as the lake behind her counter part started to churn. She snarled in anger as she watched a massive python head break the surface sending water flying outwards as its neck breached the surface. She watched as it raised head higher sending water crashing down around them causing the girl to scream again.

She looked up in disgust it was Milintica! That fat bastard serpent, she moved away from the girl who know didn't interest her anymore. She felt her claws scratch the floor leaving deep marks she hadn't wanted to be interrupted now. There was a bright side to it she'd finally get something that she could tear to pieces before she got to the main course. Gabrielle breathed in trying to stop the fear as she looked up meeting the good eye of the monstrous snake who was staring back. She watched as it swung its head looking at her for a moment and then at her counterpart, in what seemed to be confusion. She swallowed feeling unsure over what was going on.

Milintica flicked out his tongue as he eyed the two beings bellow him, he could smell the Blood Jaguar and taste her scent. Yet oddly these two were giving of a mixed scent. One minute it was the Blood Jaguar and the next it seemed different, he'd wanted to attack but there was never any point in attacking the wrong target. If anything he liked to be precise he narrowed his good eye looking at them both again. "Which one of you flesh bags, is the Blood Jaguar!?" Blood Jaguar eyed him disgust hearing his words perfectly she could see the terror in the eyes of all the warriors hiding behind the pillars. "For the so called grand serpent you're not very intelligent are you?"

Milintica moved his head lower. "I don't know what you are, but I have eaten beasts your size so don't push my patience wolf thing." Blood Jaguar laughed as she looked up. "Wolf thing I'm so flattered by how perceptive you are and here I was thinking that you couldn't tell the difference between a coyote and a wolf." She raised a clawed hand. "You see your brain only being tiny and encased in your massive skull I wouldn't have seen you as that bright." She grinned ignoring the pain it took. "But then you can't be that smart since you fail to see the obvious." She felt a cruel smile spread across her jaws as she raised her clawed hand pointing at her counterpart. "She's the Blood Jaguar!"

Milintica eyed the woman with wings he moved closer only to stop as he tasted the air with his tongue. "You lie wolf creature, she's not who I seek." He flicked out his tongue again. "You are her, you smell most like her!" Blood Jaguar tensed feeling her claws scratch the ground. "I do hope you're not considering eating me Milintica, because I have no issue with tearing you to pieces." Milintica laughed as he eyed her. "You talk big for small prey." Blood Jaguar moved closer. "Yes but I'm the prey who ripped out your eye if I remember right. I have claws and teeth so think what I could do to you now." She slowly moved closer to him. "Imagine the fun I could have with you while ripping your throat out."

End of part 75

Silvermoonlight

I thought for the longest time about bringing back the werewolf Horn Hind. I finally thought what the hell I brought back the angel so I might as well go for broke, although this is a really bastardized version that would scare the hell out of every werewolf in Messene :)
