Chapter 4: Vengeance Began

GenTech, the largest and richest company in San Campion, where business is always booming. The family running the company was one of the richest and most reasonable family in the city. Or as they say themselves.

Suddenly, the building's security alarm blared. They thought someone was attempting to rob the building. "All hands to the front entrance! I repeat! All hands to the front entrance!" The head of the company exclaimed over the P.A. system. As the security guards all advanced to the front entrance, they were suddenly blown back by something. As the head came out to investigate, he saw that every single one of his security guards was knocked out. And standing above them in the smoke, was a teenage girl wearing a mask and a hood. She had a black gauntlet with 3 purple highlights on her hand. And beside her was a big Darkness creature called a Death Liger, Lion of Chaos. "Who are you? What do you want?" The head asked in fear. "I have a message for your boss. Tell him that I'm coming for him and his family." The girl said as she motioned her hand. Death Liger opened his mouth and started building up dark energy. The head screamed as the Darkness creature fired his attack.

The girl and Death Liger walked away from the building as it started burning. "Soon, they will pay for what they did to my family. And they will know my vengeance. I will have my revenge." The girl said.


(Intro)


At the Kaijudo Temple, Ray and Jen were training with Janet. The Masters granted her permission to lead the children's training for the day. Bob and Weave were summoned and ready to fight. Allie, Gabe, Terry, Greta, Portia, Maribel and the Kazamas were watching from the stands. "Now, kids, while it's important to bob and weave, you also need to learn to use your opponents' strengths to your own advantage." Janet explained. "Allow me to demonstrate. Sun-Clan Tortoise!" She opened a portal and summoned a giant tortoise with tusks and horns on its shell. "Really, Mom? That's what you summon? A giant tortoise?" Jen asked. "Yeah. We took on a giant Rock Brute and an Earthstrike Dragon, and gained their trust." Ray said. "Never underestimate any creature, kids. Even the lowest of creatures can surprise you." Janet said.

"We waste time talking! Let's get to fighting!" Bob exclaimed. "Yeah! I'm itching for a little action!" Weave exclaimed. "Yeah, can we start with training, Mom?" Ray asked. "Of course, kids. Show me what you got." Janet said. "Give him the chains, Bob." Ray said, motioning his hands. Bob charged towards Tortoise and lashed his chains at him. "Tortoise, defend!" Janet ordered. Tortoise ducked back into his shell as Bob's chains struck him. But the shell didn't even crack. Bob continued to strike the shell with his chains, but the shell still wouldn't crack. "Bob, that's not working!" Ray exclaimed. "Let me try. Weave, strike the shell on the side!" Jen called, motioning her hands. Weave extended his right hand and smacked the shell, causing Tortoise to start spinning. "Perfect. Now, Tortoise!" Janet called. Tortoise spun his way towards Bob and Weave, leapt up and struck them in the heads, much to the shock of Ray and Jen. As Tortoise landed, he came back out of his shell and walked back to Janet. Bob and Weave rubbed their heads as they recovered. "Good work, Tortoise." Janet said, petting Tortoise's head. "That was some attack, Mom." Ray said. "We never saw it coming." Jen said. "As I said, you must use your opponents' strengths to your own advantage like Tortoise and I did." Janet said. Ray and Jen nodded in understanding.

Just then, Hector and Nadia walked up to them. "Masters? What's wrong?" Jen asked. "There was a report of an attack on a company in the city." Hector said. Gabe looked at his phone. "He's right. GenTech was just recently attacked by a teenager and a…giant grey lion with goat horns and large bat wings?" He said. "Yes. Someone has been using a creature known as a Death Liger to attack GenTech buildings for the past few weeks." Nadia said. "We've been on their trail for a while, but we could never catch them." Hector said. "Janet, we want you, the Kazamas and the kids to investigate this as part of their training." Nadia said. "Wait. You want us to investigate?" Ray asked. "Field work is one of the many jobs for a Kaijudo Duel Master." Hector said. "We have to protect order in the city from those who would use creatures against the innocent." Nadia said. "Don't worry, guys. We'll see what's going on. And remember, kids, this is part of your training." Janet said. The kids nodded.

Later, as they arrive at what's left of the building, the kids, Janet and the Kazamas looked around for anything that could tell them which way the girl and her creature went. "How are we gonna find that girl and her creature?" Greta asked. "Well, we can't summon a creature to track them. There're too many witnesses here." Sakura said. Ray started to think as he looked at the Azurite. "Maybe the Azurite could lead us to them." He suggested. It responded to his idea and started glowing. "Looks like it agrees with that idea." Allie said. "Okay. Let's follow the Azurite. Ray and Jen, you kids take point." Janet said. As they started following the Azurite's guidance, Ray and Jen started thinking. "What other powers do you think the Azurite holds, bro?" Jen asked. "I don't know. Aside from protecting us from the Memory Swarm, breaking Fingers' control of that Terradragon, curing Flametropus of the Choten's corruption and turning Fingers into a ragdoll, makes me wonder what other secrets it holds." Ray said. Just then, the Azurite started glowing brighter. "I think we just found them." Jen said. "Let's go!" Janet exclaimed.

By then, the girl and Death Liger were attacking another GenTech company building. The workers ran for their lives as Death Liger fired his darkness breath attack at the building. "Soon, their family will be no more." The girl said venomously. "STOP!" Ray's voice exclaimed. The girl turned around as the kids, Janet and the Kazamas ran towards her and Death Liger. "You need to stop this at once!" Janet exclaimed. "Do not interfere!" The girl exclaimed, motioning her hand. The Death Liger turned around and attacked them with his darkness breath. The group shielded themselves from the attack with their gauntlets. "Guess there's no reasoning with her." Allie said. "Tatsurion the Unchained!" Ray exclaimed. "Skarvos the Assassin!" Jen exclaimed. 2 portals opened and summoned Bob and Weave. "Skull Cutter!" Allie exclaimed. "Blinder Beetle!" Gabe exclaimed. "Kenina the Ignitor!" Greta exclaimed. "Jetflame Lizard!" Terry exclaimed. "Terradragon Regarion Doom!" Portia exclaimed. "Essence Elf!" Maribel exclaimed. "Jarbala Keeper!" Janet exclaimed. "Grove Protector!" Sakura exclaimed. "Citizen Tokori!" Kaito exclaimed. "Haven's Elite!" Miku exclaimed. The called creatures were summoned through their portals. "You think you can take me on? Let's see you try." The girl said.


"First strike's mine. Grove Protector, attack!" Sakura exclaimed, motioning her hands. Grove Protector extended his root-like arms and lashed them towards the girl and her creature. But Death Liger slashed the arms with his claws and blasted Grove Protector with his darkness blast, making him disappear. "Haven's Elite, go!" Miku exclaimed, motioning her hands. Haven's Elite readied his sword-hand and spun to attack. "Give him the smokescreen." The girl said, motioning her hands. Death Liger released a smoke attack from his mouth, surrounding Haven's Elite and stopping him. Death Liger struck the Light creature hard with his horns, making him disappear. "That's it! Attack together!" Portia exclaimed. Terradragon, Jetflame Lizard, Kenina and Essence Elf charged towards the Darkness creature. "Pathetic." The girl said. Death Liger blew his darkness breath at each of them. Terradragon and Jetflame Lizard managed to leap out of the way. But Kenina and Essence Elf got hit before they could try to get away, making them disappear. "Terradragon, thorn attack!" Portia exclaimed, motioning her hands. Terradragon fired thorns from his tail, striking Death Liger. "Jetflame Lizard, speed strike!" Terry exclaimed. Jetflame Lizard sped towards the girl and Death Liger, bashing into them and knocking them down. The girl's hood and mask fell off in the process, revealing her face.

Janet and the Kazamas gasped, recognizing her face. "Morticia, is that you?" She asked. "You know this girl?" Ray asked. "Yeah. She was a promising young acolyte in the temple. But 4 years ago, she just disappeared." Janet explained. "You think I wanted to stick around while a company like GenTech is allowed to ruin people's lives?" Morticia asked venomously. "Uh, what's she talking about?" Terry asked. "Yeah, GenTech's one of the biggest production companies in the world." Gabe said. "LIES! They just ruin people's lives!" Morticia exclaimed. They were shocked by this outburst. "Death Liger, ATTACK!" Morticia exclaimed. Death Liger leapt at the creatures and swatted Jetflame Lizard with his paw, making him disappear. "Why is she acting like this?" Jen asked. "I don't know. She was aggressive during her training, but I've never seen her like this." Janet said. Ray started to think as he gripped the Azurite. "You guys keep her busy. I'm gonna try something with the Azurite." He said. "Let's do this." Bob said, cracking his knuckles. As the remaining creatures fought against Death Liger, Ray concentrated as the Azurite started to glow and showed him a vision.

[Vision]

A young Morticia watched in tears as the GenTech owners ignore her family's protests and destroy their life's work to extend GenTech's business. Morticia glared at the owners, promising vengeance.

[Vision End]

Ray gasped as the vision ended. He now understood why Morticia was so vengeful towards GenTech. "Guys! I saw what happened." Ray called. "What is it, Ray?" Portia asked as Death Liger defeated Terradragon, making him disappear. "GenTech destroyed Morticia's family's lives. That's why she's acting this way. She wants revenge against them." Ray explained. Janet was shocked upon hearing this. "Morticia, stop! You don't have to do this!" She exclaimed. "Nothing matters! Do you hear me?! Nothing, but my revenge!" Morticia exclaimed, ignoring Janet's words. Death Liger continued attacking the other creatures, and one by one, they were beaten and sent back to the Creature Realm. Bob and Weave were the only ones left and were running out of steam fast. Just then, Ray and Jen noticed something off about Death Liger. They saw that he was unhappy with all this senseless chaos and destruction Morticia was making him do. "Bob! Weave! Wait!" Ray exclaimed as he and Jen ran in front of their creature partners. "Ray, Jen, what're you doing?!" Janet exclaimed. "Using an enemy's strength against herself." Ray said. "You don't have to do this anymore. We can help you." Jen said. "Perhaps I wasn't clear before." Morticia said. "We weren't talking to you." Ray said. The Azurite glowed and unleashed another bright blue light, blinding Death Liger and Morticia.

When it died down, Death Liger turned around and growled at Morticia. "What're you doing?! They're the other way, you stupid beast! ATTACK THEM!" Morticia ordered. But Death Liger didn't listen and continued growling at her. "If you won't listen to me, I'll summon something else." Morticia said venomously. But before she could summon another creature, Death Liger blasted her with his darkness breath, knocking her out. Ray, Jen and the others walked over as Death Liger settled down. "Thank you." Ray said. Death Liger nuzzled him and Jen, thanking them for freeing him. "You're welcome." Jen said. "I think it's best that we send him back to the Darkness Civilization. He must be exhausted from all the destruction Morticia made him do." Janet said. "Yeah. You're right, Mom." Ray said. "Would you like that? To see your home again?" Jen asked. Death Liger purred softly. "Then this is goodbye for now. We'll see you again someday." Ray said. He motioned his hands and Death Liger disappeared back to the Creature Realm. Bob and Weave looked on with smiles of impression at how Ray and Jen made yet another friend from a powerful creature.

Morticia groaned as she started to recover. When she opened her eyes, she saw the kids, Janet, the Kazamas, and Bob and Weave looking at her. "Morticia, you can't let your need for revenge effect your life. If you continue on this path, it will lead to an open casket in the city morgue." Ray said. "He's right. You can still start anew. Turn away from this path and come back to the temple with us." Jen said. Morticia listened to every word, but she didn't care for any of them. She reached into her pocket, pulled out a smoke bomb and slammed it on the ground, creating a cloud of smoke. Everyone coughed from the smoke before it cleared. Morticia was gone and she left her dueling glove behind. "She's gone." Allie said with relief. But as Ray picked up the glove, he and Jen thought otherwise as they felt bad for her.

Later, everyone returned to the temple. "I'm gonna go report this to the council, and then I'll return Morticia's glove to the armory." Janet said. "Mom? When you're done, can you give us some more training about using an opponent's strength against himself?" Ray asked. "We want to be ready just in case something like this happens again." Jen said. Janet smiled at her children's decision. "Of course, kids. Anything to be prepared." She said before walking away.

Meanwhile, Morticia approached a man sitting in the shadows. "My whole life, I trained myself in Kaijudo so that one day, I would take my revenge upon those who destroyed my life. But those in Kaijudo have interfered and turned my own creature against me. I could never forget what they did. And that is why…I offer my services to you…Choten." She explained. The Choten revealed himself as he sat up, smiling with interest.

How was that for the first original chapter? A rogue duelist named Morticia using a Death Liger, Lion of Chaos to take revenge on a company that ruined her family. But Ray and Jen interfered and used the Azurite to free the Death Liger from Morticia's control. But now Morticia has pledged her allegiance to the Choten. What other dangers will Ray, Jen and their team encounter? What other secrets does the Azurite hold? Leave a review if you want.
