Sorry for the long wait, guys. I was busy hanging out with my relatives, and I couldn't get ahold of a computer until now. Anyway, I would like to thank those who have reviewed. Also those who favorited and followed. So without further ado, I present the next chapter of The Beast Online!

Logan sniffed the air, and narrowed his eyes. He turned to the group, and motioned for them to stop. They did, and Leonardo nodded at his leader, allowing him to speak. "He was here," Logan whispered. He pointed at a small path through the forest. "And then he went down that path." He motioned for them to follow, and changed into a wolf. He heard Colette gasp, and he inwardly smirked. He then ran down the path, with the Doom Patrol in tow. Alexander stopped, and turned back to see a hesitant Colette. He gave her a reassuring smile, and shrugged.

"It takes some getting used to," he told her gently. "But let's just say Logan isn't fully human." Colette nodded blankly, and Alexander chuckled. The two then followed the others, not noticing the small creatures peering through the bushes.

Logan finally stopped, and let out a small growl. Leonardo glanced at the wolf, who looked up at him. Leonardo nodded, and motioned for the others to stop. Leonardo then pulled out his longsword. He held it out defensively. Alexander unsheathed his battle axe, and clenched his teeth. He glanced at Colette, who nervously brought out her mace. Logan shifted back into a human, and unsheathed his sword, and crouched, tensing his muscles.

Silence.

Logan sniffed the air, but whatever was following them was gone now. He sighed, and waved his hand, ordering them to lower their weapons. He turned toward them, and narrowed his eyes. "Don't sheath your weapons," he ordered. "I have a feeling that thing will be returning shortly." He turned around, and swung his sword over his shoulder. "And Colette," he said. "Stay close to Alexander. And have your teleport crystal ready." Colette stared blankly at Logan, then she narrowed her eyes.

"I'm not some helpless little girl," she growled. "I can take care of myself!" Logan scoffed, and sniffed the air again.

"I can smell the fear on you." He hissed. "It's disgusting." Colette clenched her teeth, and her face turned red.

"I'm just worried about Kage, that's all!" She protested. Logan didn't respond, and he continued down the path. The two other guild members glanced sympatheticly at her, before following. Colette sighed, and followed the guild.

After a few minutes of wandering through the forest, Logan stopped, and the others followed his example. His eyes narrowed, and they shifted side to side. He felt a growl rising up his throat, and he smelled the air deeply, taking in the scents. He noticed a figure move through the trees, and he readied himself for battle. The others followed suit, and they listened closely to the small sounds their stalker was making. Logan's ears twitched, and he noticed that the figure was behind them. He heard the figure lunge, and he whirled around, deflecting the strike.

The figure landed gracefully on the ground, and started to chuckle. "You're faster than I thought." He muttered, almost to himself. He stood up, and glanced at the group. The figure was wearing a black cloak, which covered his face. He had a rather lean build, and carried a dangerous looking dagger in his hand. Sighing, the player through off his hood, revealing a young man with a shaved head. He wasn't that good looking, but he seemed to have an almost glowing intelligence in his beady black eyes that were almost like a birds. The player glanced at Colette, and a smile appeared on his face. He approached her, and wrapped her into a tight hug. Colette laughed, and hugged him back.

Logan stared at the two, and tilted his head slightly. They knew each other? Hold on, was this man Kage? Logan briefly wondered if they would still get paid after this. He sighed, and shook his head, mumbling things to himself. Colette pulled away from the man, and smiled at the Doom Patrol. "Guys, this is my brother, Kage." She introduced. Alexander was the first to react, and he approached Kage, extending his hand.

"A pleasure to meet you," he said. "I'm Alexander." Kage shook Alexander's hand, nodding. Alexander chuckled, and motioned towards his brother and friend. "And this is Leonardo, my brother, and Logan." Leonardo waved, and Kage smirked. Then he glanced at Logan.

"What the hell is up with your look?" He asked rather rudely. Colette scowled, and cuffed Kage over the head. Kage rubbed it, muttering curses under his breath. Logan narrowed his eyes, trying to keep himself in control.

"If you must know," he hissed. "I'm a survivor of a rare disease, and the result was green skin." Kage nodded, not really caring. Instead he turned to Alexander.

"So you guys are the famous Doom Patrol, eh?" He questioned. He scoffed. "Not really much if you ask me." Alexander backed away, surprised with the rudeness of the player. Before he could retort, Leonardo spoke up.

"Aren't you supposed to be a beast tamer?" He inquired. He glanced around. "If so, then where is your familiar?" Kage sighed, and turned around. He brought two fingers to his mouth. Instantly a strange creature darted out of the trees, and landed on Kage's shoulder. It was rather odd, looking like the cross between a monkey and a bat. It was a strange and mysterious lavender color. It make a small squeak, and Kage smiled softly, scratching underneath its chin. He glanced at the others.

"This is Po," he said. "He's an imp, in case you're wondering." The Doom Patrol nodded. Colette smiled as Po flew off Kage and landed on top of her head. She giggled, and patted the small creature's head. It made a strange purring sound, causing Colette to giggle more. Then, all of a sudden, an arrow, whizzed by her head, taking off a single strand of hair.

Colette gasped, and turned around, seeing these strange goblin-like creatures appearing out of the trees, each carrying a bow and some arrows. They ranged in size, some being nine feet, and others being only about four. Logan turned to Colette. "Colette," he ordered. "Get Kage and yourself out of here!" Colette stared blankly, but Kage turned to Logan, teeth bared.

"I'm staying here," he growled. "I never back away from a challenge." Colette nodded, and stood next to her brother, battle ready. Logan narrowed his eyes.

"If you die I'm not responsible!" He told them. Then he and the Doom Patrol leapt into battle. Kage and Colette glanced at one another, and nodded, before joining the fray.

And now I must part. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Don't forget to review! And remember, stay wykkyd!

Also, Kage and Colette will play important roles in the story, for those who enjoy them.
