Ch. 4 My name is…
Outskirts: Bamboo forest
On that very evening, Takami continued to look at the orange and black striped seashell-star Layla gave him in front the Jade Palace gates. He was great full to have it as well as has someone like Layla that really cares about him that much. He admired the star-shelled material as he looked at it. But that then soon ended quickly.
Suddenly out of nowhere three throwing stars was heading towards him. Lucky the Bengal tiger was very keen of his surroundings, pulled out his black katana off the ground and deflected them from hitting him as he was still sitting down. He then finally stood up and said, "Come out and face me personally instead of from a distance you coward!"
With that said the attackers finally jumped down from the cliff and one of them removed her hood showing her sinister smile.
"Oh, you're better than I heard. I guess the rumors are true, the great Takami Skyfang. The flame hidden in the Valley of Peace. I'm much honored to finally have such a person before me, too bad though that we must attack you." Su stated.
"You're going to have deal with me too then." Faith said.
"Us as well!" Viper and Crane joined in.
"Is this one of your friends? And I see that you have two members of the Furious Five with you. Well they won't be any help too you either." Su said as she unshielded her claws along with hers sisters. They then connected their tails and began to spin like a sharp fast spinning wheel quickly headed towards the tiger and cheetah. Takami and Faith then got into their stances ready for combat. Faith and Viper was the first to rush in.
With Hope and Kaizer
Deep within the woods the surprisingly titled brown bear and the ex-assassin white tiger were searching for supplies for the camp-set. Both were carrying wood underneath their arms and continued to look for more for later the next time they need it for the next camping. Suddenly a loud bang sounded and both teen warriors immediately turned to the side of the sound, dropped the equipment and headed to the campsite.
Back to the fight
In the unexpected introduction and attack, Faith and Viper were trying to hold off the spiraling felines vortex attack while Faith held up an ice shield guarding the attack. But didn't help at all as the ice shield crumbled to pieces quickly on impact with a loud bang at the end, pushing both the reptile and feline back down beside Takami. The fiery male feline's rages suddenly grew as he saw one of his teachers and third best friend getting defeated quickly. Flames surged around his arms ready to strike the three leopardess down. But one of them had other plans, pulling rope with rocks tied to both ends, and threw them at pyro feline making the rope wrap around his body tying him down to the ground.
"Well, that was easy." Su commented, but then noticed that the rope was turning to ash falling to the ground. Takami then stood up and growled furiously. Wing then immediately threw Throwing-stars at him. But Crane swiftly swooped down in front of Takami and deflected the stars with his wings. Takami moved to the side and blasted a medium sided fire shot at Wing, who just moved back from the blast and said, "Troublesome."
"He's not slowing down Su" Wan complained to her eldest sister.
Su then snarled and scowled at Wan then at Takami and exclaimed frustrated, "Stick to the plan!"
Wan and Wing then revealed their claws and hissed at Takami angrily with him returning their response doing the same. Wing and Wan then pulled out a barrage of Throwing Stars in the air and at Takami. He then preformed Kung Fu movements and created The Mongolian Fireball technique, allowing the huge fire-ball absorb the weapons and melting them away into nothingness. All three Wu Sisters were shocked and enraged that their method didn't work.
Su swore behind her teeth and commanded, "Sisters, lets end this!" Both agreed with their older sister and got into spinning wheel formation aiming for Takami. Suddenly black lightning and a released blue sphere rained down on top of the spiraling feline's separating them crashing down to the ground. Everyone turned around and looked up to see Kaizer standing on top of a tree.
"Kaizer." Both Takami and Faith murmured. The Sisters struggled to pull themselves up. Only on one knee, Su looked up at the shade figure that was standing in front of the sun. She watched him as he jumped down and recognized him instantly.
"Kaizer Beelzebub, it's been a long time." Su stated. The white furred tiger then walked forward normally as if nothing bad was going on. He stopped and responded, "It's not Beelzebub anymore. It's Haruki."
"Whatever you say" She said back calmly.
"Now if I may ask, what do you want Su?" He said sternly. Su then signed to her sisters to halt their pursuit. For the next few minutes she started explaining to Kaizer about little things and he listen carefully. Viper, Crane, Takami, Faith, and hope were all befuddled of Kaizer.
"So, you got out of prison…again, and you were hired to help aid the hirer to help defeat someone you won't tell me about?"
"That is correct. Do you want in on this task?"
Hearing that Kaizer scoffed and said, "Not interested."
"As you wish. Now, if you mind steeping aside we have business with that Bengal tiger." Su said calmly. Not liking that idea, Kaizer crossed his arms and stood proudly in front of her and replied, "That Bengal tiger, so happens to be one of my close companions
Hearing that Su's head mentally rattled in surprise but continued to keep a straight face.
"If you're with them, then you're in our way. Sorry, nothing personal." She taunted at the end. Kaizer moved back a few and got into fighting position with the others doing the same. But as soon as they were about to engage back into battle, a kunai knife was thrown down between.
"That's enough Su, Wan, and Wing. You finished your task." A feminine voice said from above. Everyone turned to the source of the voice. Up in a separate tall top tree, above was another snow leopardess that appears to have a teenagers figure wearing a black and white outfit and brown pants, as well as wearing a headwear mask like Wing and Wan. She jumped down from the tree and landed in gracefully on the ground effortlessly.
She noticed Takami and Hope beside him and began to walk towards him, as well as removing her mask to be a beautiful full leopardess face with violet eyes. She raised her paw signaling that she wasn't a threat.
'Whoa, she's beautiful.' Hope thought. Faith noticed Hope's amazed and blown away expression.
'What does she have, that I don't. I can do anything better than her. She's not that great.' Faith scowled in thought.
"Relax, I'm not a threat to you…anymore. My name is Renxiang Ling, you can call me Ren." She announced holding out her hand for a hand shake. Takami was feeling a little skeptical at first but then shuck her hand. Ren looked over her shoulder back at the Wu sisters and said, "Stand down Wu Sisters, your job is down." Ren then tossed a brown bag that was filled with money in it. Su caught the bag and looked back up at the teenage leopardess.
"That's your pay, and I may have your freedom. I have nothing more for you to do. You may go." Renxiang stated. Su looked back at the bag then the Wu Sisters huddled together to talk privately among themselves. The ended their sisterly conversation and turned towards Renxiang. Su then tossed the bag back at her and said, "I have something new in mind. My sisters and I agreed that we'll continue to accompany you on your venture." Su told her.
"What, why?" Ren questioned.
"I feel there's an opportunity for my sisters and I to have more than just money. If we complete this task, the Masters Council would reward us with riches, more gold, and most important the treasure. Most of all, I know that boy's father and this chance could give us a free getaway pass of full freedom." Su answered, pointing to Takami.
"Fine, the more the merrier." Ren stated. She then turned her attention back to Takami and Hope.
"So what do you want from us?" Takami asked with Hope nodding to his expected question. Ren then smiled then started explaining to situation that she was doing.
7 minutes later
"So there's this lioness crime lord that killed your mother and you want to take her down then strike her down yourself, or send her to prison?" Takami questioned. She nodded.
"Yes, please I need your help." Ren pleaded standing tall with her head down.
"Sorry, I wish I could help but…" Takami started.
"We're on a mission to find a ligress named Mei Wen, in a mountain valley called Da-Ming." Hope finished.
"What a surprise, that's were we think she's hiding out. May 'we' accompany you?" Ren asked. Viper then slithered over and had a small conversation with each other. They broke up their little chat then nodded.
"I guess were going to the same place. Sure, we'll help out." Hope stated. The leopardess were so over joyed that she actually walked toward Hope and embraced him in a hug. The embrace didn't sit well with Faith at all as she saw this. No She and Hope weren't in a full relationship. But she still had feels for him. The sight of this was enough to make her scowl.
"Thank you." She thanked releasing the embrace. All Hope did was smile and Ren somehow taken a liking to the brown bear.
"Your welcome." Hope said. He then turned towards Kaizer, who was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed. "Kai, what do you think of this little adventure?"
The white tiger did not want to see the Wu Sisters again. But he had to accept it, but he had to say one thing about them and that was, "There is nothing about this all of a sudden scenario that doesn't make me so disgusted I want vomit out my own internal organs. I despise all three of you so much I can't tell if I'm going soft on my reputation, or for my unforgiving rage. If anything insane happens on this quest, then I will lose it. Also, you so happen to turn on us or hurt my friends, then I'll use your bones to build a small house and paint it with your very blood." Kaizer said to the Wu sisters.
There was an awkward silence with that said the Wu sisters took that as an invitation and buff. Everyone else was sorta scared at that point, thankfully he thought of them as his friend.
"Well...Shall we get going?" Hope said, hoping to break the awkward silence.
"Oh there's one more thing. Apparently your being tailed by two kids." Renxiang finally said. Everyone even Crane and Viper were befuddled. Ren then pointed exactly were they where in some bushes. Takami and Faith then had a hunch who they were as well.
"Kovu, Borko, come out this instant." Faith and Takami ordered. On 'Q' both the brown lion cub and Siberian tiger came out with nervous grins.
"Uh... hey Takami." Kovu said fully getting out of the bushes and towards them with his younger step brother.
"What are you guys doing here?" Takami questioned.
"Uh...following you." Kovu answered.
5 more minutes later
After a few minutes of lecturing from Viper and Crane of how what danger they put themselves in. But then soon noticed that they were so far ahead that they were to far away to actually go back to the Valley of Peace. So, Kovu and Borko too are tagging along. They all ended their resting camp and got moving.
"Yeah road trip!" Kovu cheered.
"This it's a road trip, there's no road." Takami corrected.
"Or is their." Kovu said in a dramatic voice.
"No seriously, look down." Takami said. Kovu looked down and said, "Oh."
That's it for now, I hope that was okay. Sorry if it wasn't much, I've been busy studying for my STARS test I'm taking. I hope this is enough to satisfy you guys. More events will happen I promise. Until next time, bye.
