Chapter 7: Feral Tails vs. Klaxon and Zetsu
Early Morning; Mystic Ruins
Tails got up and walked outside, he removed his scarf and shoes first and he had quit wearing gloves after his claws came out.
'What is wrong with me? So hungry...Maybe just some rabbits or a sheep but NO humans or Mobians...definitely not! UGH!' thought Tails before he ran off on all fours unaware of the two figures watching him from the shadows.
"Hmmm, let's follow him." said the smallest of the two.
"Are you sure? I mean, he is becoming more and more feral. Ah what are you worried about? Besides, he can't kill us and I'm sure he'd make an excellent challenge. I'm just worried about his and our well-being. He needs something to quench that hunger of his and a fight would probably help. Okay, but if things get out of hand we should leave." said Zetsu.
The two follow him stealthily and from the shadows. And then they lose him for a few minutes but then find him in a clearing next to a dead bird and they watch in disgust as he crams it into his mouth.
"He's worse than Orochimaru. At least he doesn't regurgitate what he eats." said Zetsu quietly. Tails then turns his head towards them and both panic and Tails stands up and crosses his arms.
"You can come out now." said Tails with annoyance edging his voice. Both notice his eyes are tinted yellow.
"I hope he's not becoming the snake himself. He's not you fool, its just an appearance change. Still, its disturbing." said Zetsu to himself.
"How'd you know we were following you?" said Klaxon in his childish voice.
"You weren't being very stealthy, I could hear you a mile away and you said you'd follow me a few hours ago!" said Tails.
"But we were being as stealthy as we could and we were whispering."
"[Sigh] My senses are getting sharper, am I just something that is meant only to hunt and kill? It wasn't meant to be like this..."
"Cut the self pity act and get ready to fight." said Klaxon his voice dead serious and no longer childish as he reached for his mask.
"W-wait what?!" said Tails surprised
"In order to control yourself you must practice in using this power. He's right you know." said Zetsu.
"Fine. Let's just get this over with." said Tails going to all fours.
"Don't get cocky fool, ya fool!" said Klaxon as he removed his mask and became his true age (somewhat, he looks 24) and pulled out eight swords.
"~Now I'm gonna make me a fox kebab and it will taste great~" said Klaxon charging forward and swinging his swords in highly random and unpredictable movements.
"DON'T RAP, YOU CAN'T!" yelled Tails as he dodged the attacks yet received some cuts.
"~Don't be dissing my style or else I'm gonna get pissed~"
"SHUT UP!"
The two fight for a few minutes neither getting an advantage until Klaxon makes a tiny mistake and winds up losing an arm.
~Think that's gonna stop me? I can grow a new one~"
"STOP TALKING, YOU CAN'T RHYME!"
"~You think I'm the only you have to deal with; guess again fool, ya fool!~"
Tails barely managed to dodge a scythe that came down as he devoured Klaxon's arm and then he had to constantly dodge his new attacker's attacks.
"WOO-HOO!" screamed Hidan his eyes wide with glee and a sinister smile etched onto his face as he swung his three bladed scythe at the vulpine. The two went at it for a good while before Hidan got a good kick in sending Tails flying only to get caught by a hand that reeled him towards Kakuzu who slammed him into the ground behind him.
"This is who we have to fight? Not worth the pay." said the stitched up man as his hand reattached itself. Tails got up slowly and the four then notice that Tails has seemingly gotten more feral as the fights went on; his claws were sharper and were becoming more like serrated hooks, his body was becoming more muscular, and his eyes were beginning to glow yellow and started having yellow irises.
"Well now...This could get interesting." said Kakuzu throwing off his cloak to reveal 4 weird masks sewn into his back and then they came to life and formed different creatures.
"I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T TRYING TO KILL ME!" snapped Tails at Klaxon who had regrown his arm.
"I'm giving you what a real fight is like. Did you expect anything else? Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!" said Klaxon before he unleashed a massive green fireball that spread out and nearly caught Tails in the blast. Tails then came across Zetsu with the flytrap parts closed but suddenly they opened up and Zetsu charged the vulpine and Tails got into a melee match with him.
"I'm sorry about this. I'm enjoying this. I get to see how tough you really are..." said Zetsu before he formed his left hand into a blade-like object and tried to run Tails through with it only to have it get stuck in a tree.
"Oh crud! I warned you. Shut up!" said Zetsu as Tails tried to deliver some blows to the plant-like man only to run his fist through the tree. Suddenly a puppet dropped down in front of Tails and he jumped back.
"I believe its time to end this." said the redhead as he put his hands in front of him and two gun-like barrels extended from his palms before flames shot out of them which Tails dodged and his right tail got singed a little due to the heat. Suddenly a metal tail came flying at him and cut his side a little and he winced in pain.
"You are lucky, normally all my weapons would be edged with poison, but I was told not to have poison on them for this fight." said the redhead as blades extended from his arms and he charged Tails using his tail like a spring. Tails swung his claws and the puppet dropped down, headless and Tails caught his head looking at the puppet in shock.
"Do not worry, I can fix myself later. But you have others you should worry about." said the head and Tails heard the sound of something slicing through air and barely dodged Hidan's scythe as it came down.
"This isn't even any fun. You suck man! You're nothing but a weak little f**ing baby!" said Hidan with a smirk and then everybody becomes wide-eyed and steps away from Hidan.
"You just made a big mistake Hidan. For once I agree. This is probably the third or fourth time you've agreed with me. This conversation is meaningless." said Zetsu as he disappeared into a tree.
"Come on! What's the worst this weak little f** can do to me?!" said Hidan looking back at the others before a shadow loomed over him and he turned back to see Tails holding a semi over him.
"HUH?!" said Hidan his eyes turning big and white and his mouth a big "O" as a sweat-drop and a tick mark appeared on his head.
"Who's the weakling now?!" growled Tails.
"Me..." squeaked Hidan as he dropped his scythe before Tails slams the semi on him repeatedly like a hammer to a nail. Soon Tails dropped the semi on Hidan.
"[Muffled] I'm okay." came Hidan's voice from under the semi.
"That was interesting. But where'd he get the semi?" said Zetsu before he was grabbed by Tails.
"Oh crud! Wait! Don't-" said Zetsu but too late as he was ripped in half and both screamed before the two were in half and Tails dropped them shocked.
"Do you have any idea how long it will take us to get back together?!" yelled Black Zetsu as he got up.
"Calm down, he didn't do it on purpose. Even I can tell that." said White getting up also.
Tails was shocked, if the two hadn't been able to split apart he would have killed them and with that thought he took off.
"Hey Tails, wait! Great! You scared him off Black!" said White hopping over to Black and delivered a right hook to Black's face.
"I chased him off?! He ran off because he's too much of chicken!" said Black delivering a left hook to White's face.
The two are then fighting each other and Klaxon, as a twelve-year-old walks over to them, grabs them by the head, and slams them together (metaphorically and literally).
"SHUT UP!" yelled Klaxon as the two merged together again.
"Sorry. I'm not apologizing. You're a jerk. Says you!" said Zetsu before Klaxon smacked him on the head with a staff.
"Let's just head back the house. Tails will show up when he's ready." said Klaxon walking back towards the house.
Next Day; River
Klaxon looked at the bloody mess that was Tails and then looked at the gutted sheep lying a few feet away from the vulpine. He sighed before he threw the fox over his shoulder and began walking back to the house and he noticed it started to rain.
"Something bad is going to happen...I know it..." muttered Klaxon narrowing his visible eye to were you'd think he was squinting.
