Hello. No I am not dead nor have quit. I have been extremely busy as it is so you can guess my delays. One thing for sure is that I will not leave nor quit so for those who have liked this story don't worry. Another thing is a review here from Manny, he said that he doesn't like my story just because is not his taste. I thank you anyways Manny for at least trying to read and you sir don't have to worry, I appreciate you saying that is not dull at least which it means is not bad at least in my point of view. And that brings me that if there's something wrong that needs to be changed to make it better in future chapters you people can be honest and don't be afraid to say it because I accept any reviews that can actually help me make this better. And my goal is for you readers to like it so if you ever need anything that might need changes you can say it and I will see what I can do. So yeah thank you all and sorry for the delay so now let's keep going.

Chapter 7: "Skoll's stand! Omega's furious rampage unleashed!"

Cloud: Mr. Omega. Where are we going?

Omega: A nice place for you to enjoy. You have trained well and now I will take you to someplace you can have fun and rest.

Cloud: Ooh.

They kept walking straight through the forest and they reached an open plain with a waterfall in a big lake. Even wild animals were around.

Cloud: Wow, I haven't seen a place like this before. Neither seen so many animals in one place gathered together.

Omega: That's because this place is a place where every animal can gather around peacefully and out of any danger. And none of them can attack each other. Is like a law around here. Go ahead and have fun with the other young ones. Just don't get carried away.

Cloud ran ahead towards the lake jumping like a cannonball. He started to swim around, he knew to swim thanks to Zuma who taught him. He then got to play around some young fox and deer around the lake. Meanwhile Omega kept an eye on him while sitting on a high tree branch.

(Lookout)

Kaiser: What? Your kid became an enemy?

Zuma: I don't want to talk much about it. But yeah, he betrayed my trust and all I thought of him. And I would appreciate you don't say he is my kid anymore.

Kaiser: But…he is…

Zuma: I said not to. No son of mine would dare to betray me. Ever.

Kaiser: …

Skye: Want something to drink Kaiser?

Kaiser: Huh? Oh yeah. I guess water would be fine.

Skye: Come.

They both went to the kitchen to get water.

Kaiser: So, this place has been on guard huh? Guess this little criminal has an evil plan.

Skye: He ain't a criminal. He is just a kid who needs love and parents and now is all alone in the streets probably hungry and cold, trying to find a new home or at least someplace where he can be taken care off while surviving on this big cruel world with whatever or whoever is out there while we are here hating on him and trying to hunt him down like he was some powerful evil who could destroy a world but at the same time sitting in our asses doing nothing but to speak more and more about him like he was a nobody…

Kaiser: Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy Skye. Damn you are really hurt by this.

Skye: Of course, I'm hurt. I'm his mother, I know the kind of kid he is. He ain't nothing they say he is. He is 5 months old. He was under our care, how can a nice kid become a monster. There's nothing logical about it.

Her tears were honest, she was obviously suffering as well.

Kaiser: Well I can see you are even hurt by pretending to agree with them. Well tell you what Skye, I will try and find him. In fact, I will visit him daily and tell you his status.

Skye: You would do that for me Kaiser?

Kaiser: Of course only for you, because I doubt the rest care about him.

Skye: Thank you Kaiser.

Kaiser: Sure. I love to help friends.

Skye: You sure do.

She hugged him.

Kaiser: Well I'll go to see if I find him first.

Skye: Okay.

He had his water then he walked outside to go around to see if he could find Cloud around.

Kaiser: Okay first is to find the kid.

He used a special cloak to hide his identity. He then searched for the forest since it was a best guess for a runaway dog to hide from any civil life. He went first to places that had hidden caves or dens.

Kaiser: Hmm, I doubt he could be around here. Well at least this part of the forest. Maybe deeper inside.

He kept walking deeper ahead of it. He eventually found himself in the lake area the animals were. Omega saw the cloaked figure and hid his life essence from existence to keep himself hidden. Kaiser looked around the animals and he saw the wolf puppy chasing a fox playfully.

Kaiser: That must be him.

He approached Cloud carefully.

Kaiser: Hi there pup.

Cloud and the fox halted at seeing him.

Kaiser: Oh ignore the cloak, is just to keep myself from getting cold. I can catch a cold quite easily. Anyway, sorry to interrupt your game. I was just passing through. I just didn't want to crash into you kids. Carry on.

He walked away and looked behind to see then continue their game running around.

Kaiser: Well he seems good enough, looks healthy, almost as if someone was taking care of him.

He walked back to the Lookout of course taking off his cloak and entered. He went to find Skye sitting alone in the kitchen.

Skye: So?

Kaiser: Surprisingly he seems okay, almost as if he was being taken care of by someone. He was playing around with another young one. But other than that, he seemed healthy and happy.

Skye: Oh, thank goodness. Whoever is taking care of him I thank him.

Kaiser: Well that's all I could gather so far from it.

Skye: Thanks again Kaiser, you are a really good friend.

Kaiser: Hey I know you guys, as far as I saw Cloud, he isn't the type to do horrible stuff. Well I better leave you there. I have to make an important pick up.

Skye: Wait, you will be back right?

Kaiser: Of course I will. After all, Ryder wants me to help around this. But you know what side I choose.

Skye: Yeah.

Kaiser left after letting all the dogs that he will return quickly. Skye watched as Kaiser vanished in the distance.

Zuma: You okay love?

Skye: Yeah, just remembering the last time we saw Kaiser. It was a long time ago, he sure grew a lot.

Zuma: He did, didn't he?

Skye: Yeah. Well I will go lay down.

Zuma: Oh, you sure? I was about to ask you if you could spend a little time with me and the kids.

Skye: With all that has happened, I'm very drained. I just want to lie down. I will do that after my rest.

Zuma: Oh…ok.

She walked away still worrying of Zuma being this okay after pushing away hi youngest kid of the litter. Did he really accepted to completely strip cloud from their family name? Was he really making the decision to even hunt down Cloud from anger? She was worried of what is running through his head, right now she was even scared of how he would react if he knew that she and Kaiser are secretly checking on him. Right now, acting the way she was, was the best play. Zuma knows that her as a mother she would worry about it but he hasn't seen so much of her so he had his believe that she will end to accept reality…his own reality.

Zuma: She'll get over it. Hmm. Iki, come here.

He rushed to his friend.

Iki: Yes?

Zuma: I have a special task for you. I want you to find Cloud, I have a feeling something is up with him. When you do, return and tell me what he is planning.

Iki: Oh…ok. Right away.

Iki ran out from the Lookout to just do that.

Zuma: What are you planning on Cloud, for you to mix up with that stranger.

Iki ran fast deep into the forest, he didn't knew his way around much but his instincts guided him through.

Iki: Okay I can smell Cloud's scent around. No mistake is his, but also a strange aroma. Not known. So odd, it has a hint of fire and something else. Hmm. Surely he is with the stranger, whatever he is, it doesn't smell too human. What is this?

He got closer to the area he felt the strong scent and watched carefully. He sees Cloud in the distance with others animals.

Iki: Hmm there is Cloud. But the other scent is here too. But where?

Iki didn't know he was being watched from the shadows. However by alarming urge Iki was no longer himself, instead Skoll took over his place.

Skoll: This being is watching but I want to know. I will not leave until he comes.

He rushed forward to get Cloud, Cloud was slowly looking back seeing him rushing forward. He instantly got scared and dropped to the ground, and just as soon as Skoll was merely inches from him, Omega threw his sword on the way. Skoll jumped out of the way quickly. Once he sees Omega drop to the sword, he made a wide creepy ass grin plastered in his face. Cloud was a little scared of seeing Iki being this scary, but he has no knowledge of Iki's reality of having the blue mocking spirit inside him. Omega took his sword and looked at Skoll.

Skoll: There's the star of the show. So, you are the one who is allied with the little monster huh?

Omega knew right away, who he was dealing with here. He was ready to take on any mocking insult from Skoll.

Skoll: Oh come on, you know very well that the little bastard has his fate coming. *laughs* So let's make a small share. Give me your head, with a side of his heart and I will let him die slowly and calmly.

Omega didn't respond.

Skoll: Not talking huh? What? Did my teeth got in your tongue? Or do you even have one?

Omega still didn't respond, he was standing like a statue. He put his sword close to Cloud and it formed a flaming protective ring around Cloud and his little friends.

Skoll: So, that's how you want to play? Fine, I'm game. First you freak, next your puppy trash friend.

Skoll right away attacked Omega, Omega blocked him and pushed him away. Skoll instantly ran around and went from behind, but Omega was quick enough to jump out of his away making him miss. Skoll growled and smacked his paws to the ground making it crack towards Omega while blue energy unleashed from the ground. Omega however moved out of the way, but in his escape Skoll held onto him and made a monstrous howl in his hooded ear, making ancient words to even be heard on his ear. Omega still held nicely and ran to a tree smacking Skoll against it. Skoll stood up quickly after letting go of Omega and pounced at him towards the neck. Omega tried to block but Skoll used his claws to slash his arms and as omega retired them Skoll managed to get a tight grip on the neck. He squeezed to make his fang sink deep inside and with a strong pull he tore his throat open.

Cloud: Mister Omega!

Skoll jumped inside the ring of fire ignoring the burn and grabbed Cloud by the neck.

Cloud: Aahh!

Skoll: Sorry pup, but is personal.

He started to squeeze making Cloud to yelp, but in the end Skoll's head was bashed against the ground by a flaming fist forcing him to let go of Cloud. Skoll looked up and saw Omega standing.

Skoll: What? But…but how? You are supposed to be dead.

He was punched in the face with a strong fist. He was sent flying but Omega dashed to him and started to throw quick flaming combos around, then Omega held his fist locked back and at the right moment he hit Skoll in the chest in a way making 15 weird noises. Skoll looked surprised but then it happened a deep impact happened inside Skoll all over his body 15 times he felt a burning punched that penetrated his very body. Each releasing impact pushed Skoll farther away as his body got engulfed in flames as well. But the very last one made a huge explosion that created massive damage to his body. Now laying in the floor was a weak bleeding Skoll, he stood up by will and walked out of the area. Omega cooled down and checked on Cloud, luckily he was not harmed, he made it in time, but never less he calmed the little puppy down.

Omega: You are safe now pup.

(Lookout)

Back at the Lookout, Skoll arrived but as soon as he switched for Iki, he dropped on the ground unconscious. Zuma passed by and saw the bleeding Iki.

Zuma: Iki! Marshall get your EMT gear now! Iki is in horrible shape.
