Roleplay:Beast Legends

I'm not sure if I should start a new Roleplay, but I'm angry and bored, and I must use my beasts to vent this anger!

Plot
Legends of primordial deities living on Mobius have been around for eons. Such talk of powerful creatures would surely bring out those who would like to use them to take over the universe...

But normally, these creatures stay concealed, away from everyone else, said to be dormant...what could be causing them to surface?

Part 1
(In the Great Sea, a massive G.U.N battleship can be seen...but something is following it!)

Soldier 1: (Scanning the water)

(He doesn't see the massive, dark shape swimming towards the rear of the battleship. Suddenly, the ship lurches!)

Soldier 1: Whoa!!

(The other soldiers are panicking, as the water is calm...what could have caused the lurch?)

[SFX: CREAK]

(The boat lurches again.)

(At a distance...VS Soldiers are watching)

Random Energy Hawk: "Well, they're f***ed."

Random Bolt Eagle: "Indeed."

(Back at the ship...something suddenly leaps upon it in a burst of water! The soldiers scream in terror!)

???: RROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!

[A comical small box views white-eyed VS Soldiers.]

VS Soldiers: "WTF?!"

(The leviathanical beast brings down the ship with its force.)

VS Bolt Eagle: " 'kay we're outta here."

[They shift the Thresher's HoverPads into Ultra, making them fly away from the water. The ship sinks beneath the waves, and the monster disappears from view...later, the news of the G.U.N battleship being downed by an unknown leviathan hits T.V's everywhere...]

(On PBC NewsNet)

Anchor: And we're just getting reports in that a battleship belonging to the Guardian Units of the Nation(s), G.U.N., has sank. An unknown monster is responsible.

(Meanwhile...)

(Aura and Daniel are in a diner and see the news)

Aura: (snorts) Serves them right...

Daniel: Aura! That's not a nice thing to say! Someone could've died!

Aura: (eats her sandwich) So? They deserve what happens to them.

(The news reports that there were NO survivors.)

Daniel: (looks at Aura and raises an eye)

Aura: (shrugs and eats her sandwich, happily content with the fact that there were no G.U.N. survivors)

Daniel (sighs and eats his own sandwich)

(They finish and leave)

Daniel: Hey Aura, what if we found that thing that attacked the G.U.N. ship?

Aura: Then I'd give it a big pat on the back for ridding the world of those measly soldiers.

Daniel: (rolls his eyes and runs off towards the coast)

Aura: Hey! Daniel! (runs after him)

(With the Trolls...)

Tonic: Beast Legends?

Toxic: Yeah! Rageik said that the Beast Legends can be ideal for turning them into our slaves!

Tantrum: Yeah! Say, where's Dismutt anyway? He'd be a great help to capture these creatures for us!

Bubonic: He ran off. Again. -_-"

Toxic: Great...! Spread out and search for Dismutt!

Trolls: Yes sir!

(The Trolls runs off to find Dismal. In a pristine forest, Dismal is out walking. He looks very peaceful and happy.)

Daniel: (comes running by and almost runs into Dismal) Whoa! Sorry! (keeps running)

Dismal: ???

Daniel: (disappears)

Aura: (comes a minute later and runs into Dismal) Wah!

Dismal: Ack!!

Aura: Sorry. Hey, have you seen a hedgehog that's yay high all in white, even his fur?

Dismal: Uhh...I think he just pasted not too long ago...

Aura: Ah, thanks. (goes a bit, then stops) Have I seen you before..?

'Dismal: Uhh...

Aura: Oh! You were at the, uh..the pyramids!

Dismal: Uhh...y-yes...

Aura: (smiles a bit) You were Daniel's little friend before we left.

Dismal: F-Friend..?

Aura: Well yeah, for one thing he talked to you through his mind and you helped him when he was hurt.

Dismal: O-Oh yeah... *thinking* I didn't know he actually considered me a friend...

Aura: (nods) Well, it was nice talking to ya! (walks off then stops) Oh, and be careful, too.

Dismal: O-Okay, you too.

Aura: (nods and walks off)

(With Daniel...)

Daniel: (standing on the coast) (thinking) If the creature attacked in the water...maybe it'll come up this way!)

(Daniel begins to see a large, faraway shape rising out of the water in a fluid, serpentine motion...)

Daniel: Whoa!! Cool! There it is! (watches in awe) (thinking) Come on..come closer...)

(It sinks beneath the waves just as gracefully as it surfaced.)

Daniel: Neat..! Hm... (send out his thoughts towards teh creature)

(In the water, far below the surface, the beast receives Daniel's thoughts!)

???: !

Daniel: I...I got it! (thoughts to teh creature) H-Hello there!)

(The thoughts are not of a sentient creature...the creature seems to be much more beastlike...)

Daniel: (focuses and slightly looks into the creature's thoughts to get a description on it) (thoughts) You're...you're a dragon...!!)

(The beast begins to swim towards Daniel at a frightening speed!)

Daniel: !!! (backs up from the water a bit) (thoughts) D-Don't worry! I-I'm a friend!)

(Although Daniel sees no sign of the creature, he can tell what it did through thoughts.)

Daniel: (gulps and backs up more, keeping track of the creature through its thoughts)

(Without warning, the beast breaches the surface not twenty feet from the shore!)

Daniel: !!!! (backs up so fast he falls on his butt)

(The beast is indeed a sea dragon of behemothic proportions.)

Daniel: Oh my...! (watches in awe) (thoughts) Don't eat me..!) It's huge..!

(The beast roars loudly.)
 * (Ryu-I'm assuming neither Aura or Daniel have ever heard of Tiamat?)
 * (Shima: Nope)

Daniel: (gulps, then shakily stands up) H-H-Hey there...

(The monster looks at him with a rumbling snort.)

Daniel: (takes a step towards the beast) S-So you're the one who destroyed that ship?

(Strangely, it seems the beast understands him...it opens up its mouth and regurgitates a large chunk of battleship. Part of the G.U.N symbol can be seen on it.)

Daniel: (examines the ship piece) Yup..that was you alri- Wait..you know what I'm saying? (looks at the creature in surprise)

(The beast regards him, then nods.)

Daniel: This is so cool! I've never seen something like you! (tilts his head) what are you, exactly? You seem like an ordinary sea dragon, but..there's something else.

???: ?

Daniel: Maybe it's just me.. Hey, do you have a name?

(The creature projects its thoughts towards Daniel.)

???: ["I am Tiamat..."]

Daniel: Tiamat... (smiles) It's nice to meet you, Tiamat! I'm Daniel! (by habit, he holds out his hand)

Tiamat: .....?

Daniel: Oh, uh..hehe... (puts his hand to his side) Sorry if I seem nosy, but...why did you attack that G.U.N. ship?

Tiamat: ["They invaded my territory...they are called...'G.U.N'?"]

Daniel: (nods) Uh-huh. It's the army that kind of protects us...sometimes.

Tiamat: ["Sometimes?']

Daniel: (shifts uncomfortably) They...sometimes experiment on people...

Tiamat: ["Lifeforms are meant to be left alone, to grow and change in their own natural way..."]

Daniel: Yeah... I guess some don't understand that.. (looks at Tiamat and his eyes widen) But...if they find you...they could experiment on you! D:

Tiamat: ["They are only humans."]

Daniel: B-But you don't understand! They have guns, and tanks, and every weapon imaginable! They can take you down if they wanted to!

Tiamat: ["HA! I have survived for countless millennia, child...I fear no humans and their toys!"]

Daniel: You sure are brave to stand up to them like that..

Tiamat: ["And no one else HAS stood up to them?"]

Daniel: A few, yes..

Tiamat: ["I see..."]

Daniel: Yeah..

Aura: DANIEL!

Daniel: !! (turns to see Aura) Oh, Aura!

Tiamat: *growl*

Aura: (grabs Daniel by the arm and puts him behind her and points her gun at Tiamat)

Daniel: No, wait!

Tiamat: *roar* [advances towards the shore]

Aura: Stay back, beast! (shoots at Tiamat)

Daniel: No!

(The bullet merely bounces off of her thick scales. She snarls.)

(With Johnny, in an island off of Station Square, Johnny is seen lying on a sandy beach, and is sunbathing)

Johnny: [thinking] ''Ah. This is the life. It's like I'm a human solar panel to recharge my Fire powers [chuckles]''

(Johnny's body was shining like a light bulb as it can be seen by the others, although he wasn't aware of this. One of the Beast Legends sees a bright light on an island of Station Square. It is the primordial fire god, Agni!)

Agni: (Flies towards the light)

(Back with Daniel, Aura and Tiamat...)

Daniel: (pushes out from behind Aura and grabs her gun) Stop! She won't hurt us!

(One front claw of Tiamat's is already on shore.)right|thumb|100px

Aura: (brings out her other gun) How do we know that?! (shoots again)

Daniel: Aura! Please!

Tiamat: *roar* [fires an Ice Beam at Aura]

Aura: (dodges around it and shoot at Tiamat's mouth)

Daniel: Stop!

(The bullet hits the inside of her mouth, causing her to rear back in anger and pain.)

Tiamat: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!

Aura: I got you now! (aims at Tiamat, but Daniel grabs the front of the gun)

Daniel: Stop it!

Aura: !!! (shoots in surprise, shooting through Daniel's hand)

Daniel: AUGH!

Aura: D-Daniel!

Tiamat: !

(She stops attacking.)

Daniel: (holding his hand)

Aura: D-Daniel..I didn't..I..I'm sorry..!

Daniel: (grips his hand) .......I don't feel so good...

Aura: Oh no..you didn't bring any with you, did you?

Daniel: (shakes his head, his muzzle slightly pale)

Aura: Augh! (picks Daniel up and runs off, then glares at back at Tiamat before disappearing)

Tiamat: ...........

(Back with Johnny, Agni draws closer, attracted to the heat!)

Johnny: [still sunbathing, unaware that Agni is closing in on him] Heh. Solar panel man. I like that name. [chuckles]

(At last, the primordial fire deity lands, scorching the sand beneath his clawed feet.)

Johnny: Is it me, or is 112 degrees out there. [chuckles]

Agni: (Stomps over to Johnny; now only 3 feet behind him)

Johnny: Ummm.... was that an earthquake...?

Agni: *roar*

Johnny: [startles] WAH! [jumps up and his sunglasses fall off] Okay... un-expected...

(Agni slams a massive fist into the ground in front of Johnny, making it explode.)

Johnny: !!! [turns to see Agni; his lower jaw drops to the sand]

Agni: RROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!

Johnny: O_O" [gulps] W-W-Was it something I said...?

[Agni spits a molten stream at Johnny.]

Johnny: WHOA! [dodges the molten stream] Oh man! That was a close one!

Agni: [Spits another molten stream]

Johnny: WAH!! [keeps dodging molten streams] What's your problem?! Was it because I was sunbathing?!

Agni: *roar* (advances towards Johnny)

Johnny: Oh man... [sidesteps away from Agni] I don't wanna fight you... I don't want you to hurt me, though!

(Agni ignores this.)

Johnny: Oh no, this is gonna suck for me... [sighs] Just letting you know that I too wield pyrokinetic powers....

Agni: *growl* [throws a molten rock at Johnny]

Johnny: [sighs, then grabs the molten rock (seeing as how he is unaffected by any fire attacks)]

(It explodes violently in his hands!)

Johnny: OWWWW!!! [holds his hands] Darn it... I could've sworn fire attacks shouldn't have any effect on me...

Agni: *growl-like laugh*

Johnny: Oh, so you find it funny to attack an innocent guy like me, huh?!

(Agni slams Johnny into the ground with one claw.)

Johnny: GAH! Not what I.... had in mind....

Agni: *snarls*

Part 2
(Meanwhile, Maero is near the ocean investigating the debris caused by Tiamat)

Maero: What a mess.... who...or...what could have caused this?

(Beneath the water, Tiamat is quiet, upset over Daniel's injury.)

Maero:Well, no point in standing in one place. There has to be some clues around here. *He turns invisible as he sinks into the water. He has entered a different realm in order to breathe under water. He continues his investigation under water*

Tiamat: .........

Maero: ! *Spots Tiamat* What is that thing? I'll have to draw it to the surface to re-enter this realm to get some answers. *He then spots a nearby destroyed vessel* Perfect! *Bones erupt from the ground and launch the abandoned and sunken ship into the air. This is an attempt to lure Tiamat to the surface so Maero can get answers*

Tiamat: (Sees the rising ship) ??? (follows it)

Maero:*He rises from the water and jumps out. As he does this he re-enters the normal realm. He faces Tiamat and pulls out his spine, and cracks it as if it was a whip* State your name beast!

Tiamat: *snarl* ["I am Tiamat, Queen of the Primordial Oceans!"]

Maero: Well since you were nice enough, ... I am Maero.....and you surely haven't been making my job any easier...

Tiamat: ["Your job?"]

Maero:Oh how rude of me....I am death...those people you killed...it's my job to deal with them.

Tiamat: ["Deal with them? Why not just let their bodies become food for the ocean's denizens? Life is a cycle, after all..."]

Maero: I reap the very essence of a person's being, not their meaningless vessels....

Tiamat: ["Then go reap, Death. The souls of those soldiers should still be in the waters."]

Maero:I was in the middle of the task actually, but I had to see what had caused this destruction.

Tiamat: ["I see..."]

Maero:So. Tiamat....why is it that you have done this...

Tiamat: ["They have disturbed my territory..."]

Maero:Ah.....so it seems, but tell me how is it that I'm still here? Are you so spineless as to only attack those who know not of your presence? Or do you just enjoy destroying innocent souls? Are you truly the monster that they say that you are...?

Tiamat: *snarls* ["According to a young hedgehog I met not too long ago, G.U.N is not as innocent as they seem! And my territory not only belongs to me, it belongs to the Merbian people, whom I protect!"]

(Meanwhile, Flab the Demonhog is walking along green hill zone, enjoying his vacation)

Flab: *sits down on a loop* can't get any better than this (pulls out guitar and starts strumming) 3 months of no missions, this is the life

(Nearby, Dismal hears the guitar)

Dismal: Huh?

(Flab gets too far into music, rocking hard to "through the fire and flames" by Dragon Force. Dismal perches on a ledge, listening, entranced.)

(Flab, puts guitar away and watches the clouds, then a tear appears)

Flab: I wish Yuji were still here *sniff*

Dismal: ..........

(The ledge crumbles slightly...)

Flab: hmm? (wipes away tear, but doesn't seem alarmed) who's there?

Dismal: *silent gasp*

(He tries to move away, but the ledge crumbles even more. It then breaks!)

Flab: (jumps up and saves dismal from the crumbling edge, places dismal on ground and steps back) I'll ask one more time, who are you?

Dismal: (Looks very shocked that he was just saved)

Flab: (turns to walk away) look, if your not gonna talk to me, I'll use up my vacation time somewhere else, but don't forget, you owe me one.

Dismal: W-Wait...! I...m-my name is Dismal, and...I...I'm sorry I was spying on you...(fidgets nervously)

Flab: (turns around and smiles) That wasn't so hard was it (holds hand out to help dismal get up) by the way, the names Flabornamue the Demonhog, but you can call me Flab (smile grows wider)

Dismal: Uhhh, o-okay...(nervously takes Flab's hand)

Flab: (gets Dismal up) Why were you watching me anyways? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, just curious is all

Dismal: I......I heard you playing guitar....

Flab: (sits down on the ground and pull it out) Yeah, i made it myself ..... wanna look? Don't worry, I'm too nice to bite (smiles)

Dismal: O-Okay...

Flab: just give me a moment please (takes out the living stones and puts it into the inside vest pocket) sorry but, i just met you, i can't really trust you with these stones yet.

Dismal: That's okay...

Flab: Here you go (hands guitar over) I made it out of the armour of a great enemy i had to face one day, but enough about me (scratches back of his head) time for you to talk, i feel kinda bad that i'm the only one talking

Dismal: Uhhh....[his face flushes]

Flab: (pulls out a leg of ham wrapped in plastic from his pocket) Don't mind me, just haven't had lunch yet (smiles as he takes a bite out of ham)

Dismal: Okay...err...well, my life's not really interesting...I never done anything extraordinary or...or memorable...

(With Aura and Daniel....)

Aura: (patching up Daniels hand, then gives him a shot)

Daniel: (winces)...Why did you attack Tiamat?

Aura: She's a dangerous beast, that's why.

Daniel: But she didn't mean any harm!

Aura: You don't know that. (finishes) There we go.

Daniel: (rubs the bandage on his hand) Thanks...

Aura: ... You really want to go find her again?

Daniel: (nods)

Aura: (sighs) Alright, c'mon, we'll go find your monster friend.

Daniel: Oh, thank you! (hugs Aura)

Aura: Hehe. (they leave back towards the coast)

(With Sledge and Balsa, who are wandering around a snowy region)

Balsa: hey sled, where are we?

Sledge: no idea.

(They are unknowingly straying into the territory of Rahab, the Ancient Ice King!)

Sledge and Balsa: *continue walking through the region*

(They come across an enormous mound of snow and ice.)

Balsa: Wow, what an enormous mound of ice an snow!

Sledge: *Facepalm* No s***.

(Silence...)

Balsa: ...... What are we waiting for?

Sledge: ....... *walks past the mound*

Balsa: h-hey wait up!

(The mound shifts ever so slightly...)

Balsa: *Doesn't notice*

Sledge: *Continues to walk but has shifted his eye to the mound*

(A few small chunks of snow roll down the mound.)

Sledge: *still has his eye's on the mound*

Balsa: Err, why are we here again?

Sledge: I forgot.

(A rumbling sound is heard...)

Balsa: *Startled* W-w-what's that?

Sledge: *form's ice talon's* does it matter?

(The rumbling gets louder...)

Sledge: Get ready balsa, somethin's coming

Balsa: err, R right. Hand puppet: Dragon *both of balsa's hand's become dragon head's*

(The mound begins to break apart!)

(Meanwhile, in a deep, dark cave... A sinister figure walks into the depths of the cavern, his feet shrouded in a yellow mist...)

Phineas: If my research is correct... He's around here somewhere.

(An even more sinister figure is watching from the shadows...)

Phineas: ... (walks deeper into the cave)

???: ........... (eyes narrow)

Phineas: I hope you realize I know you're there.

???: Good...

Phineas: Erebos, is it not? And I must warn you, you cannot scare me.

Erebos: No? Do you realize who and what I am?

Phineas: Perfectly. However, you don't realize who I am.

Erebos: You are Phineas the Hedgecrane, and you feed on fear.

Phineas: I'm impressed. You see, I've instilled fear in so many people I find myself almost totally unable to feel any myself.

Erebos: Then let me impress you further, child; without me, you would never be what you are today.

Phineas: I know. That is why I have come here.

Erebos: You come seeking me?

Phineas: (nods) Even at full power, my abilities are nothing compared to yours. So I want power. In exchange... I'll do whatever you want. Anything.

Erebos: You come seeking power from a Primordial?

Phineas: Exactly.

Erebos: An interesting proposal...

Phineas: That it may be, but is it one you will accept?

Erebos: I believe I shall. But if you dare try to cross me, I will not hesitate to destroy you...

Phineas: Very well.

(Erebos holds out his claw.)

Phineas: (watches)

(A black and red mass of energy forms in Erebos' claw.)

Phineas: (gazes at it) Yes...

Erebos: I trust you will not abuse this power?

Phineas: That depends on what you classify as abuse.

Erebos: By taking more fear than what you need to sustain yourself. By simply using this power to scare everyone for sport. That is abuse.

Phineas: ...Fine. And besides, remember my part of the deal? I'll be under your control. A small price to pay.

Erebos: Yes...

(The energy mass flies over to Phineas.)

Phineas: Yes... Yes!

(It comes into contact with his chest.)

Phineas: (laughs maniacally)

Erebos: Remember your promise..

Phineas: Of course... what would you wish me to do?

Erebos: Hmm...

Phineas: (chuckles maniacally as he absorbs the energy)

(Somewhere else, this scene is being watched by a mysterious figure...)

???: The fool! Giving some of his powers to a commoner?!

Phineas: (looks around)

(There's another figure standing behind Phineas.)

???: Erebos, you fool!

Erebos: Nyx...!

Phineas: Who-?

Erebos: Nyx is my soul mate...

Phineas: Ah, of course.

Nyx: You DARED to give this...this child some of your power?!

Phineas: Child? CHILD?! Grrr... have you any idea who I am?!

Nyx: You are Phineas the Hedgecrane, and you subsist upon the fear of others.

Erebos: He promised he would not use these powers for ill.

Nyx: There's no sure way to trust him.

Phineas: I believe there is. I have bargained my servitude in exchange for this power... (Smiles)

Nyx: Hmph. Then you best stay loyal...or else I'll watch as my pet devours your flesh...*disappears*

Phineas: (smiles darkly) Your first requirement, Lord Erebos?

(Back with Johnny and Agni...)

Johnny: [thinking] ''What is it that every time I sunbathe, I get attacked from out of nowhere?! This is stupid!'' You know, it'd be better for you to NOT attack an innocent person while sunbathing, okay?

Agni: *snarl* (slashes at Johnny)

Johnny: ! [uses Fire Palm at Agni's claw to save himself from getting killed]

(The collision creates a small explosion. After the smoke clears, Johnny is nowhere to be seen!)

(Back with Flab and Dismal)

Flab: (finishes Ham and puts the bone in his pocket) Sure? Nothing at all has ever happened to you that's not worth talking about?

Dismal: No...n-not really...

(Back at the snowy region)

Balsa: W-W-What is that!!?

Sledge: Angry that's what!

(The mound falls apart, to reveal the monstrous Ice lizard, Rahab!)

Sledge: it doesn't look friendly, get ready Balsa!

Balsa: err, Yosh!

(The monster yawns, not noticing the two...yet. It seems to have been sleeping.)

Sledge: *anime style WTH eye's* eh

Balsa: eh

(The monster looks around.)

(Meanwhile...)

Flab: So you're positive then? ... Nothing at all that has happened in you're life? ... No family problems, no fighting disasters (sad expression comes over Flab) No one ruining you're life .....

Dismal: Uhh...

???: Flab, has nobody told you that a person's history is their own business? He doesn't have to tell you if he doesn't want to, although just looking at him should tell you he's been through hard times.

Dismal: !!

Flab: ??? (turns around) Who exactly are you?

(Suddenly, Flare drops down from a tree directly in front of them with a smile on his face)

Flare: You forget old friends so soon, Flab? Don't make me call your intelligence into question...

Dismal: ...

Flab: Please, you're hiding in a tree, and i could hardly see you ... who else wouldn't say 'who's there?'

Flare: I thought my voice was reminiscent enough, and besides, you have the Byakugan of Mephiles's family. You could see me. Oh, and hello, Dismal.

Dismal: Uhh, hi...

Flab: Huh? (looks from Dismal to Flare) You guys know each other?

Dismal: *nods* Y-Yeah...

Flare: Our paths have crossed before. That, and he has a significant file in the Elemental archives.

Dismal: Wha...I-I do...?! D:

Flare: Oh, it's nothing bad. We just like keeping track of allies and enemies alike. Yours is decent, not one of the biggest, but not one of the smallest either.

Dismal: Uhh...okay...

Flab: O.O (looks at Dismal and back to Flare again) He does? I thought after the case with me and the living stones were the last known files!

(Looking nervous, Dismal begins fidgeting with his tail.)

Flare: Please, we're constantly updating, Flab. Dismal, you ok?

Dismal: ! (quickly lets go of his tail) Y-Yes sir...!

Flare: I hope so. You don't look too good.

Dismal: I-I'm okay, sir...

Flab: (phone rings and answers) Give me a minute guys ..... uh huh ..... what. now? ..... serious? ...... fine be there in 1 (hangs up phone) Sorry to leave you guys but I'm needed elsewhere so i'll see you guys later (walk sup to Flare and places a small disk in his hand) *whispers* I'll be back for it later, don't lose it (Flab runs off in a flash)

Flare: Well, that's somewhat surprising.

Dismal: Yeah...

Flare: ...

Dismal: Uhh...I...I'm going to be...going now...

Flare: Ok then... I'm going to keep looking for them. (Flare forms his wings and leaps straight up and away)

(Dismal goes to leave too. But then...)

???: Oy! Dismutt!

Dismal: *gasp*

(Toxic and a few other Trolls surround him.)

Toxic: Don't even think about trying to run, runt.

Part 3
(With sledge and balsa)

Sledge: Oi scaly.

(The monstrous lizard turns around.)

Balsa: !! don't make it angry!

Sledge: you friendly?

Rahab: *growl*

Sledge: i guess not.

Balsa: you gonna get us eaten!!

Rahab: ROOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!

Sledge: easy big guy, you don't attack us, we won't attack you, we're just wandering through.

Balsa: *slowly edging away*

(Rahab stands there, eying the two suspiciously.)

Sledge: *stare's back at Rahab, then make's a snowball and pelt's balsa* get back here you wooden chicken.

Balsa: buts I dun wanna be eated!!!!

(Rahab stomps the ground with his foreclaws, snorting. He waits for the two to make a move; will they fight or flee?)

Sledge: *walk's away in the direction they were before* let's go balsa, I think the big guy's friendly.

Balsa: *reluctantly follows* whimper

Rahab: (Snorts again, watching them leave)

Sledge: what's a lizard doing out here anyway, i thought they were cold-blooded?

Balsa: does it matter?

Sledge: guess not.

(Back with Phineas and Erebos...)

Phineas: What would you like me to do first, Erebos?

Erebos: Hmm...there IS an item that needs...collecting...

Phineas: Oh?

Erebos: A powerful weapon, stolen from me. It was to be a gift for the current leader of the Dark Clan, but now it is in the hands of The Trolls...

Phineas: It shall be done.

(In the Troll Base...)

Phineas: (teleports in)

(No one is around...no one, that is, except for Dismal...he was recently recaptured by the Trolls.)

Dismal: (Crying silently)

Phineas: Hello, Dismal. A pleasure to see you again.

Dismal: *gasp* (whips around and sees Phineas) N-No...i-i-it can't be...!!

Phineas: Don't worry. I'm not here for you... this time. I don't suppose you know where to find this? (Dismal sees an image of the weapon in his mind)

Dismal: Uhh...I did see some of the Trolls bring in a weapon like that...they stored it in a vault, I think...

Phineas: Take me to it. Wait... (turns around)

(A bunch of trolls are standing right behind him!)

Toxic: Who are you? And...(looks at Dismal)...what are you doing out of your room, runt?

Phineas: It doesn't matter who I am, so get out of my way, let me take what I want from you, and I'll be on my way. Resist, and feel Erebos's wrath.

Toxic: I don't know who "Eerie Boss" is, and I don't care; and runt, go back to your room, or else I'll ask to borrow Bubonic's paddle...

Dismal: !! *whimper*

Phineas: You should care. Now move or I will kill you. Simple as that.

Toxic: (Pulls out rapier) I don't think so...

Phineas: Then die. (Toxic begins to feel a totally overwhelming sense of extreme fear and paranoia)

Toxic: Wh-What the...?! What is this...?!

Phineas: (increases the fear levels unbelievably high, till Toxic dies of a fear overload)

Trolls: *gasp*

Dismal: *whimpering*

Phineas: Interesting... I wonder what else Erebos has gifted me with? (checks his new powers)

Frost: Uhh...j-just take it easy, man...

Phineas: Hmm... (uses his powers to create a huge, monstrous  out of solid fear energy)

Frost: *high-pitched girly scream*

Phineas: (laughs, fires a ball of pure fear from his hand at Poison)

Poison: AAAAAAAAAAGH!! (tries to run)

(Poison is hit by the energy ball and is vaporized.)

Phineas: Who's next?

Tantrum: Uhhh...(points at Dismal)

Phineas: Thank you for volunteering, coward. (uses Fear Overload on Tantrum)

Tantrum: ._."

(Tantrum dies.)

Phineas: As amusing as this is, I must be getting on with my task. Ta-ta. (uses Extreme Fear Overload on everyone except Dismal)

(All of the Trolls except for Tantrum (who is already dead) and Dismal die.)

Phineas: Now, Dismal, take me to this vault where the weapon is supposedly stored.

Dismal: Y-Yeah! (runs to where the vault is)

Phineas: Thank you. (grabs the weapon, and teleports out)

Dismal: *sigh of relief* He's gone...

(Back with Erebos...)

Phineas: (appears) Here it is.

Erebos: Excellent. Was it difficult to obtain...?

Phineas: That depends.

Erebos: On...?

(Back with Agni, seeing Johnny gone, he becomes bored and leaves the area, heading towards the Red Mountain Zone. Suddenly, he is hit with a large burst of flame-retardant foam!)

Agni: *snarling* [tries to wipe the foam away]

(The foam puts out the fire surrounding Agni, rendering him powerless!)

Agni: (Falls to his knees, panting and growling)

(A white Mobian weasel, wearing black clothes, with red hair and bandages decorating most of his body, walks out of the shadows.)

Agni: (Looks up with a snarl)

???: (fires a bandage-net from his hand, trapping Agni)

Agni: *angry snarl*(claws at the ropes]

(He receives a huge energy shock.)

Agni: RAAAAWWWWWWRR!!

???: (gasses Agni)

Agni: *tries to wave the gas away*

(However, it fails, and Agni falls unconscious.)

Agni: ............

???: (tosses Agni into a van, and drives off)

(Later...Shun is seen walking through a forest.)

Shun: These beasts seem to posses great power, perhaps if I can defeat one, it's power source can become my own. *Senses a presence* Hm?

(It seems to be a tall, moving bush...)

Shun: *Readies his katana* How fortunate....

(The creature does not hear him. A lightning bolt shoots out at the beast, making it turn around. It appears to be some kind of bipedal lizard, with a thick mane of leaves on his head and back.)

Sucellos: ?!

Shun: Nature....hmmm rather pathetic element. Just to be sure... *A ball of electricity forms in his hand. Then in another. He begins to shoot lightning at the surrounding areas, sending the forest into flames* .....

(This definitely does not amuse Sucellos.)

Sucellos: ["FOOL!! You will pay for this sin!!"] (thick vines appear out of his back and dart at Shun)

Shun: *Dodges them with relative ease. He swings his katana forcefully at one of them, and throws his other sword at the other vines attempting to go through multiple vines*

(The vines are unnaturally thick. Sucellos sends razor-sharp leaves at Shun in a mighty storm.)

Shun:*A sphere of electricity protects Shun, wind is circulating the sphere, as seen by Shun's moving clothes and hair. He releases the sphere, and is hit by the last leaf. This leaves a small cut on his arm. He continues forward, dodging the vines. He reaches his secondary katana. He shoots out bolts of lightning*

Sucellos: (Opens his mouth and fires an Energy Ball at Shun)

Shun:*A yellow sphere now surrounds him. He slowly attempts to absorb the energy ball! It seem to be causing him slight pain*

(Sucellos fires another Energy Ball at Shun.)

Shun:*With a swing of his Katana, Shun sends the previous energy ball shooting towards the newly created one. They clash in a struggle of power that threatens to destroy the entire forest!!*

Sucellos: !! (releases control of his Energy Ball, not wanting to destroy the forest)

(Back with Phineas and Erebos...)

Phineas: On what you classify as "difficult".

Erebos: Did you encounter any...opposition?

Phineas: Some.

Erebos: Hmmm...(closes his eyes).........a gray hedgehog. Thin and sickly...he showed you where the weapon was...

Phineas: We've met before.

Erebos: I see...

Phineas: Your next task?

Erebos: Hmmmm.....

(At Ryu's house... Ryu hears chuckling from outside.)

Ryu: ..............if that's Toxic I hear...

(Ryu's female Shiny Houndoom lifts her head, growling. Suddenly, a small egg flies through her window, heading straight for her head!)

Ryu: EGG! (quickly swats the egg out of the way to protect her face)

(The egg explodes when Ryu hits it! There's egg goop everywhere. The chuckling has ascended into a full-blown hysterical laugh... one that sounds mighty familiar... A pair of black dragons wings flicker into existence over the window, then disappears)

Ryu: Who the-?!

(Kyle staggers in, holding his stomach.)

Kyle: (laughing so hard) You should have seen your face!!!!

(Kyle is instantly pounced by the snarling Shiny Houndoom.)

Kyle: AIIIIIYAAAA!!! (pushes her away with a shadow)

Houndoom: (Is pushed away) Hraagh!!

Ryu: (Wipes egg gunk off of her face) GOD F***ING D*** IT KYLE!!

Kyle: Ever considered anger management classes? (laughs)

Ryu: Ever considered checking into a monkey house?

Kyle: A what? Cause if that means "insane asylum", then I already did. I was too crazy for them. (laughs)

Ryu: *eye twitches*

(In a far off G.U.N. base)

G.U.N. Comander:Acording to our research the thing that took down patrol ship 638.38 Kirby is highly mythical.

Krinkino:Like a fairytail?

G.U.N. Comander: A living myth.

Fa-La-Stu:Hard to admit but I can't sense the beast's power.

Krinkino:Don't be hard on your self.

Droget: Also hard to admit got the food ready for our trip!

Krinkinko. Comander, is our mission to find out what this thing is?

G.U.N. Comander:Yes and stop it!

Kink:Got it!

(Then Fa-La-Stu chaos controls them away. Back at Ryu's house, the front door opens, and Kyle is punted out of the house. Flare's head swings down to the window)

Flare: I was going to offer my help, but I figured you had him dealt with.

Kyle: No, waitwaitwait!!! I have a proposition for you. That's why I'm here, the exploding egg is... a force of habit. But seriously... (pulls out a very old-looking book titled Legends of the Beasts)

Flare: A book? I thought you were a tech-head.

Ryu: Yeah.

Kyle: There's nothing wrong with a few good books... or, in my case, the hundreds that I own... anyway, check this out. (shows them the contents of the book)

(The book is filled with mostly incomplete profiles of the Beasts.)

Flare: Heh, look, they even have me in there! (Indeed, there was a picture of a wolf that looked a lot like Flare, with wings not like a dragon but like a phoenix) Kyle, I got a few thousand books as well. Where on Mobius did you find this?

Kyle: The library. Where else? So I (slaps chest) am going to finish what... Mr. Unpronounceable Author Dude started and track down these dudes and finish this book!

Flare: Well, you could start by removing the picture of phoenix-me. Those days were a long time ago, and I can't access it again.

Ryu: Ever think of why "Mr. Unpronounceable Author Dude" couldn't finish the book?

(FWASH)

Krinkinko:What the......

Fa-La-Stu:Not my fault G.U.N. shouldn't be tampering with my chaos powers!

Droget: (Hiding behind kink) W-Who are they?

Krinkinko:Good question Droget but first stop hiding!

Krinkinko:Excuse me. (To Flare) Have you heard anything about beasts?

Flare: Um, I remember...sort of. Considering I'm one of the beasts in that book, my memory is kind of...frazzled. I remember attacking him with my massive control of fire, then nothing. Heh, it probably has other people he mistook as beasts in there, but one of them probably ate him. (To Krinkinko) Ask the bat. He's got a book on them.

Kyle: As a matter of fact I do. What do you want to know?

Flare: Can you tell me what it says about phoenix-me, the thing he called Burnwolf?

Krinkinko: (Assertive) Okay if your one of the beasts did you take down one of the G.U.N. ships killing hundreds of people!? Oh and if you know about the beasts can you tell us why there just walking up and killing people?

Flare: No, I did no such thing. My beast-side is......under control. I can't access it anymore. Ever since I learned to control lightning, to tell the truth.

Ryu: If it was a ship that was attacked, then wouldn't it be a sea-beast that did it?

Flare: Yeah...they never liked me, even before I learned lightning control. Still, we better find out.

Fa-La-Stu:Krinkinko means a flying ship.

Krinkinko:Where did these beasts come from?

Kyle: The thing you want is probably Tiamat. She's, like, Queen of the Ocean Dudes or something, and your ships probably pissed her off. And Flare, um, it says you apparently... let's see here... ... Lives in a forest... somewhat sentient... pyromaniac... vicious personality... sometimes eats people?! What was this guy on?

Droget:Whoa! Are you talking about G.U.N. or my best bud Krinkinko because kink wouldn't eat anyone except maybe bugs but he thought he was a frog!

Flare:No, he's talking about me. I didn't eat people, but I had been known to rob people of their camp supplies...as I said, though, I don't remember anything from back then. As for what he was on, you'd have to do an autopsy on him, because I bet he was eaten. By one of the big ones.

Ryu: You think maybe Tiamat got him?

Flare: Maybe. Tiamat, Agni, the large one who loves trees, the ice one, I DON'T B****Y REMEMBER!

Ryu: (Recoils from Flare's anger)

Krinkinko: Oooooooooo a book about legends is there a copy. But I still need to finish my mission and stop this Tiamat you speak of!

Flare: Good luck with that. I do remember that she's big, and if she brought down one of your ships, she's mad. You'd just be a snack for her.

Droget: But you can help us right!?

Krinkinko:There's no such thing as too much friends.

Kyle: No. We're going on our own expedition. Speaking of which, I'm going to go get ready for our expedition. Don't blow anything up without me! (vanishes through a shadow)

Flare: (Turns to Ryu) I'm sorry. All this talk of my monstrous side, and I get a bit tense and frustrated, especially when I'm asked questions I can't answer.

Ryu: I-It's okay.

Flare: Not as sorry as I am. (Flare moves gently, but his fur parts to revel a massive scar, right over his heart)

Ryu: O_O"

Flare: Just before last time I went monster. Sword blade, straight down, halfway through my heart. First time my body entered a Final Stand Regeneration, before we knew how to counter it. That scar tissue goes right down to my heart, then it stops. There's another big scar somewhere else where I was shot while monstrous, back of my spine, between my wings. That's what brought me out of it, not learning electrokinesis.

Ryu: .......I never knew....

Flare: Very fewn people do. Gyro, Mitch and a couple of others do, and that'd be all. Still...

Part 4
Krinkinko: (To Flare) If you help us we'll help you or should we help you first?

Droget:Please?

Flare: Why do you need my help so bad? My body's 24% scar tissue, and I'm not likely to be any help against a water monster if my electrokinesis goes wacky again.

Krinkinko: Guess we just really want help and........WAIT! Is it something we can heal because if we can we can help you!

Flare: The electrokinesis goes wacky around water, and the scar tissue is a somewhat natural thing for me.

(Meanwhile, at the G.U.N base close to Station Square, something big is being brought in via a sort of truck.)

G.U.N Soldier: Keep going. You're all clear.

(In a tree, Gideon the Moose is watching this.)

Gideon: ......

(The truck backs up towards a large garage.)

Gideon: (Watches with interest)

(The garage opens up as the back of the truck does. Two-score soldiers appear carrying military tranq guns.)

Soldier #1: You sure these military tranqs'll help?

Soldier #2: We already got four Inhibitor Braces on her. These tranqs should be just enough to keep her subdued.

(Using DevilShroud, Gideon sinks into the tree, traveling into the ground, and appears directly beneath the truck. Outside, four G.U.N robots are pulling on chains, which are attached to something inside the truck.)

???: *growl*

(The robots pull harder, and eventually a huge, strange-looking creature is forced out of the truck! She is 15 feet tall, with a human/lioness hybrid face, bull horns and a long mane. She has the front paws of a lion, but the hind hooves of a horse, as well as three lion's tails. The ground shakes when she awkwardly steps of of the truck, trying to resist the chains.)

Gideon: !! *whispering* It can't be...!!

Soldier #1: Alright, let's get her inside.

???: *snarl*

(The she-beast digs her forepaws into the ground, refusing to budge. A gray hedgehog dressed in black walks out of the G.U.N base.)

Alexander: This her?

Soldier #2: Yup. The Mountain Queen herself.

???: *angry roar* [swats one of the G.U.N robots]

(The robot crashes into the wall.)

Soldier #2: S***!

Alex: (produces a tranq gun and shoots her with it)

(The dart hits her in the flank.)

???: *snarl* [turns to Alex, stumbling a bit]

Alex: (merely stares)

(The beast roars and tries to charge at Alex. Gideon is still watching from underneath the truck.)

Alex: (stops it with one hand)

???: *snorts angrily and pushes against his hand*

Alex: (pulls out another tranq) You put up a nice fight, beast, but it's over. (fires)

(The tranq hits her in the forehead, and she reels back, roaring.)

Alex: Bring her in.

(The remaining robots pull on the chains, making the beast drop down to the ground with a snarl. As she starts to grow drowsy, the robots starts dragging her towards the garage.)

Alex: Done. Oracle, it's your job now.

Oracle: (walks out of the shadows) Okay...

(The beast glowers at Oracle.)

Oracle: (pulls out a small needle) I'm going to have to take a blood sample, okay?

???: *snorts* [does not attempt to fight, but eyes Oracle suspiciously]

Oracle: (takes a blood sample, analyzes it) Interesting... Can you talk?

???: .......... ["Not...directly..."]

Oracle: Interesting... (telepathically) What's your name?

Etugen: ["Etugen..."]

Oracle: ''I am Oracle. My brother is Alexander, that gray hedgehog before.''

Etugen: ["Why have these people brought me here?"]

Oracle: ''They want to study you. You... we've never seen anything remotely like you before. I didn't want to bring you here, just to study you in the field, but they don't listen, but they let me be the one to study you.''

Etugen: .......["Fine..."]

Oracle: (studies Etugen for a bit, mostly involving taking samples of blood, skin, saliva and the like)

Etugen: ..........

Oracle: You are a very interesting creature, Etugen.

Etugen: ["Interesting?"]

Oracle: ''Yeah. Your DNA samples are unlike anything I've ever seen before.''

Etugen: ...........
 * (Ryu-when should Gideon appear and tell them about "The Lord of The Mountains"?)
 * (Now?)
 * (Ryu-Okay.)

(Suddenly, Gideon appears about ten feet behind them.)

Gideon: You've done it now...

Oracle: EEEP!!!!

Etugen: !!

Gideon: Your people have made a dire mistake in capturing this deity.

Oracle: W-who are y-y-you?

Gideon: My name is not important. The only thing you should be concerned about is The Mountain Lord!

Etugen: !

(Meanwhile, at Ryu's house...)

Kyle: Enough lovey dovey-ness, you two! Let's move it out! (grabs Flare and Ryu, drags them outside where Brannan the Meerkat and a black female raccoon are waiting)

Flare: Ok, Kyle, what monster we going after first?

Ryu: Yeah?

Kyle: A really dangerous one, with teeth, and claws, and... and lasers! And- (the raccoon girl hits him over the head) XP Ow. What was that for?!

???: You needed it.

Ryu: Yeah, I can't see a Primordial with lasers...

Kyle: I'm sure there's one with a really really big huge laser!

Brannan: Yeah! Ultimate Shoop-da-whoop, man! (they high-five, laughing hysterically and making BLAAAGH noises until the raccoon hits them both over the head with a large stick) XP

Kyle: XP (they fall unconscious)

Ryu: *facepalms*

Iris: Sorry about that, they got carried away. Had to do something. I'm Iris, by the way.

Ryu: I'm Ryu.

Iris: Nice to meet you! (pours a bucket of water over the boys)

Kyle & Brannan: YAAAAAH!!!

Ryu: PWN't

Flare: You two took things too far, so don't be surprised you got beaten up.

Iris: (smirks)

Kyle: (glowers)

Flare: Heh, she's the most sane of all three of you. Now, Kyle, being serious, what are we going after first?

Kyle: Something with l- Something really dangerous.

Brannan: What about the ice one?

Flare: Ice? Hmm...

Ryu: (Flips through the book) Looks like we're looking for Rahab...

Kyle: ICE LASERS!! (high-fives Brannan)

Iris: I still have the stick.

Flare: Ice...this is going to be interesting...

Ryu: Squadallah! We are off!

Kyle: Forwards, comrades! Forwards unto the war and sweet victory! Forwards!

Brannan: Ja!

Iris: Oh, boy...

(At Glacier Ridge...Rahab is sitting on a small cliff, simply resting. Kyle is watching him through binoculars)

Kyle: (writing down the details in the book)

Rahab: (Scratches his back with a hind claw)

Kyle: (talking in a David Attenborough voice) Adventure note: The subject of the expedition, herein referred to as big-ass-ice-monster-guy, seems to be scratching his butt. Note: perhaps it needs big-ass-ice-monster itch cream?

Ryu: Pfffffffft XD

Iris: (giggles)

Brannan: (laughs)

Rahab: ..........

Kyle: Crap. I think he might have heard us.

Ryu: ._.

Rahab: ........ (sniffs the air)

Kyle: We're screwed.

Rahab: (Turns his head around, following the scent)

Kyle: Nobody- move- a- muscle.

Brannan: (runs away screaming)

Rahab: (Whips around and charges) ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!!

Kyle: RUUUNN!!!

Ryu: I'm gone! [dashes off]

(Rahab continues to run at them, roaring. Suddenly, Flare stands in Rahab's path, opening his wings to maximum and reaching into his jacket for something)

Flare: Run! I've got this!

Rahab: (Stops and fires an Ice Beam at Flare.)

(With one hand still in his jacket, Flare slams his other hand into the ground, forming a wall of flame as he withdrew a needle. He turned and looked at Ryu, a sad look on his face as he jabbed the needle into his arm)

Flare: I'm sorry. (Flare's eyes suddenly spark, and become more hawk-like, while his wings disappear, a new pair of massive bird-like wings taking their place, before being coated in flames, phoenix-like. A group of Mobians race up just to see this happen)

???: DAMN! He's done it again!

(Rahab's Ice Beam hits the wall of fire, as Flare's body becomes more bestial, with his wings and eyes taking on more phoenix-like qualities, the intensity of the Firewall increasing massively, battling with the Ice Beam for strength. The newcomers look astonished and almost afraid not by Rahab, but by Flare's sudden change)

Rahab: (Eventually stops the Ice Beam) *roar*

Beast-Flare: *Roars in return, flapping his phoenix wings and extinguishing the firewall)

Rahab: (Rears up, and slams back down, sending massive spikes of ice up from the ground)

(Beast-Flare jumps, using his wings to keep himself aloft, before launching a series of fiery whips over Rahab, which didn't harm the beast, but instead drained him of his energy)

Rahab: *screech* [he collapses, nearly unconscious]

(Beast-Flare gives a silent laugh, before flying off, undoing the energy lashes as he does so)

Rahab: (Unsteadily climbs to his feet) *growl*

(One of the newcomers races over to Rahab, placing his hands upon the beast and passing wave after wave of hyper-chilled water and ice into it's body in an attempt to strengthen and heal the beast)

Rahab: (Looks at the Mobian, confused)

???: ''[Peace, peace, good beast. I am a friend]'' (To his allies) Gyro, you know what to do.

Gyro: Right. (The gold hedgehog spun and raced after the rapidly-shrinking phoenix-wolf)

Rahab: ...........

???: (telepathically) ''[That's right, I'm not here to hurt you. Did the wolf do much damage to your strength?]''

Rahab: ["Yes..."]

???: [I shall do what I can to restore it, but I hope it isn't too severe, for your sake.] (The wolf opens a medical kit and starts to work on making a stabilizing solution for Rahab, so his healing techniques would have more effect where they were needed)

Rahab: ["Thank you..."] (lays down)

(The wolf continues to put effort into healing the beast, not paying Ryu and the others much attention)

Ryu: ...........

(The wolf nods to his other allies, who walk down to where Ryu and the others stood. In the lead was a strangely-colored cat, with blonde-brown hair, and purple and white fur)

Ryu: ?

Cat: My name's Sara. We're teammates of Flare. I'm sorry, but this beast is tired, and you shouldn't bother them. If you have any questions, ask me, and if I can't answer them, Mitch shall.

Ryu: Okay...

Sara: Nothing? Not how Flare became a beast? Not why I tried to look like you? Nothing?

Ryu: Wait...WHY do you look like me?

Sara: Simple answer - I was in love with Flare, and I found out he liked you, so I dyed my fur and hair to try to catch his eye. It worked...temporarily. Then the dye wouldn't come out, and I started looking like this, mottled and mixed. I could go into more detail, but I don't think you need it.

Ryu: Yeah...okay...

Sara: Nice to know we're clear.

Ryu: Yeah...

Kyle: (lands, along with Iris and Brannan) Kinda ditched you guys there... sorry 'bout that. Who're you? (to Sara)

Sara: I'm Sara, one of the Elementals, Flare's allies. You aren't getting any closer to the beast, for everyone's sake, especially its. We'll keep tabs on Beast-Flare, but for now, he's out of the picture, and should remain like that for a while. Look, I don't know all the facts myself, I'll leave that up to Mitch and Quake.

(From a distance, sledge and balsa are watching)

Balsa: why did we come back to the icy lizard again, he's scary.

Sledge: i like the big guy.

Part 5: The Mountain Lord
(Back at the G.U.N base, heavy footsteps can be heard coming from a mile away!)

Gideon: I suggest you release The Mountain Lord's mate...

Oracle: I-I-I c-can't!

Gideon: Why?

Oracle: First of all, you have no idea what Commander Tower would do to me... And besides, I don't have the authorization to do it anyway!

Gideon: ....I see.......well then, I suggest you get somewhere safe, before The Mountain Lord gets here.

Part 6: The Arena of Beasts
(In the Rainbow Hill Zone Troll Base, a large group of Elite Pingas Androids are busy moving a very large crate. Mac is standing by, directing them.)

Mac: Watch it, watch it! That's live cargo, and Rageik wants it undamaged!

(The EPAs eventually move the large crate into what appears to be an enormous arena, towards the open door of a cage; the cage is made of a special kind of Adamantium that is virtually indestructible. The EPAs then open the crate...)

Mac: (Walks over to the crate) Excellent...

(Suddenly, whatever is inside the crate begins to growl!)

Mac: (Throws a small Chaos Blast inside the crate towards the unknown creature) Ah shut up, you overgrown cat-thing!

[SFX: *boom*]

???: Grrawwwwwrr!!

(Mac then manifests a chain of Chaos Energy and lashes it inside the crate; it pulls taut, having snared around the beast's neck!)

???: *snarl*

Mac: (Pulls the unknown beast towards the inside of the cage) Now, in!

(The beast refuses to move; instead, great blasts of electricity shoot forth from the crate, destroying some of the EPAs!)

Mac: Dammit! (pulls harder) In!!

(Eventually, something gets pulled out of the crate; it's a feline-esque beast with a lion's snout and lynx ears. Two sharp horns, pointing backwards, extend from his head, and a long, spiky mane runs from the top of his head down to between his shoulder blades. Spiky fur covers his paws, shoulders, thighs and wrists, and he has five long, thin "tails" shaped like thunderbolts; the one in the middle is the longest. Spiky fur droops down from his upper jaw.)

???: (Roars at Mac)

Mac: Shut your toothy trap! (throws another small Chaos Blast at the beast)

???: (Counters with a Zap Cannon)

[SFX: *kaboom*]

Mac: Feisty thing, aren't ya? (charges Chaos energy through the chain, "electrocuting" the beast!)

???: RRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRRGH!!

(Unnoticed, a white figure all dressed in black with a red ponytail and decorative bandages adorning his arms, head, legs and chest slips past...Mac and the surviving EPAs are too busy trying to push the wounded beast into his cage.)

???: Hmph...

(The figure walks down a corridor in the Troll Base, and is about to reach Rageik's throne room, when...)


 * (He should encounter some resistance. >:D)

???: Halt!!

(Two EPAs appear!)

EPA #1: Stop right where you are, stranger!

???: I'm here to see Rageik. Get in my way and you'll die.

EPA #2: No one sees Master Rageik without an appointment!

???: Except me. (flings out his hand, one of the bandages seemingly comes to life, and impales one of the EPAs, becoming rock-solid and fatal on impact)

[SFX: Scrunch!]

???: (bandages wrap around the other EPA, lifting it into the air, then throws it out the window)

(Outside, a winged silhouette hovers down to Mac.)

Mac: Eh? What is this now? We're not ready to accept challengers into the Arena of Beasts.

???: Do you know someone named Rageik?

Mac: He is my superior. Why do you ask?

???: I've come here to ask him a question and strike a deal with the Trolls.

Mac: Really, now?

???: *A chaos lance appears in his hand* Got a problem with that?

Mac: (Seems unfazed) Not at all. However, I'll have to call Rageik in advance to see if he can talk to anyone right now. He should be available, however.

???: Don't try anything funny.

Mac: Why would I? By the way, do you like what we've just brought in? (gestures to the electric Beast now in its cage) Once we're all set up, if you'd like to become a challenger here, maybe you'll face off against this "Thunder Titan".

???: *sits on a pillar* Tell me when your ready. And you really should clean up the radiation.

Mac: Yeah, but maybe we can at least same some when we capture the Poison Beasts. (walks inside the building)

(Inside, Mac Chaos Controls into Rageik's room.)

Rageik: What is it, Mac?

Mac: There's a hedgedragon outside who says he'd like to strike a deal with you, m'lord.

Rageik: Interesting...Let's see what he has to say.

(Mac and Rageik Chaos Control back outside.)

Rageik: (To the stranger) So, I see you have a deal for me, hmm?

???: Yes, but first tell me if you know about Hidden Island.

Rageik: Hmm...can't say I've heard of it...

???: Well if you get some info on it I can give you this. *holds out a chunk of Diamongega*

Rageik: Diamongega?

???: It's much harder than diamond and lighter than hexcel honeycomb.

Rageik: Hmm...interesting...

???: I'll be here for 14 days.

(Suddenly, one of the EPA's lets out a shout.)

EPA: One of the beasts got loose, Mac!!

Mac: Oh, son of a-

???: SSKREEEEAAAAAAAAGH!!

(A [[Gabieta|large, fiery Gryphon-Phoenix beast flies in, spewing fire at everything in sight!)

Rageik: Dammit! I thought you got that Brace on her already!!

Mac: (Fires a Chaos Blast at the phoenix) We've been kinda busy with the new arrivals!

(Then, living bandages fly from the shadows, and wrap around Gabieta)

Gabieta: *screeches*

Mac: !

???: (walks out of the shadows) Looks like I'm not the only person come to offer you a deal, Rageik.

Rageik: And who might you be?

Ren: My name is Ren. I heard you were collecting beasts.

Rageik: Did you now? Yes...we are collecting Beasts. For our "Arena of Beasts". [looks at the snared Gabieta, who is still struggling to escape, screeching furiously] I thank you for restraining that one there.

Ren: You're welcome. I happen to be in possession of a few, and I'm more than willing to part with them for the right price.

Rageik: Hmmm...I accept your deal. Which ones do you have?

Ren: So far, just one, but I plan on gathering more. My plans to catch another are already underway. I am in possession of the beast Agni.

(Mac quickly pulls out an old-looking book and flips through it. He smiles.)

Mac: Looks like a fine catch! [shows the book to Rageik]

Rageik: Hmm...yes...[to Ren] How much money will suit you in order to part with Agni?

Ren: I think fifty-thousand Mobiums is a good starting price for my first catch.

Rageik: Yes, I believe so. [pulls out 50,000 Mobiums]

Ren: (takes the money, then turns to leave) The beast is outside in a van.


 * (Ryu-Rageik's a rich b**** XD)
 * (He won't be for much longer. Ren's prices just go up and up.)
 * (Ryu-LOL)

Rageik: *nods* [turns to Mac] You know what to do.

[Mac nods and takes some EPA's down to the van. Mac readies a Chaos Chain.]

Mac: Alright, let's see...[opens up the van doors]

[He is greeted by a vicious blast of fire!]

Mac: !! [jumps out of the way]

[He whips the chain at Agni as he jumps out of the van.]

Agni: GRAAWWWRRRGH!!

[The chain wraps around his neck.]

Agni: *angry roar*

Mac: [Yanks on the chain] Down, boy!

[Gabieta is no longer restrained by the bandages...she spews more fire at everyone nearby!]

Rageik: !! [blocks the fire with Chaos Shield; to the hedgedragon stranger] How good are you at fighting?!

(Meanwhile...)

Ren: (checks his list of beasts) Hmm... who next?

(The list contains...)


 * Narukami
 * Anumati
 * Akheilos
 * Hathor
 * Obaluaye
 * Druantia
 * Perkunas
 * Durga
 * Endovelicus

Ren: Hmm... (puts a slash through Durga, and drives off)

Part 7: Let The Battles Begin!
(In the Southern Tundra...)

Ren: (parks the van, hidden under a snowdrift, and walks into a clearing in the snow)

[There is no wind, and no snow is falling. It is close to nighttime, with the sunset painting the sky a beautiful tapestry of color.]

Ren: (looks around)

[A winged silhouette suddenly flies through the sky!]

Ren: (smiles, bandages burst from his back, fold and wrap together into wings, and he flies after the silhouette)

[The silhouette keeps flying, not noticing Ren.]

Ren: (creates a bunch of small bandage-birds, which fly after the figure)

???: ? [looks over its shoulder at the birds]

(The birds fly around the figure, then burst in a shower of bandages, which wrap around the figure, binding its wings)

???: *angry snarl* [starts to fall to the ground; manages to land on its feet]

[The being has four arms, a feminine build, long hair, and is covered in ice armor.]

Ren: (lands, his wings retract into his back)

Durga: ["You mean to attack me? HA! Insolent fool; I'll tear you apart!!]

[The ice on her forearms begins to move, covering her hands and forming into sharp blades!]

Ren: (the bandages on his hands form into a sword)

Durga: [Charges at Ren, and stabs with one arm]

Ren: (bandages fly from his body, blocking the ice arm-blade)

Durga: [Slashes with the second arm]

Ren: (swings his sword, blocking that blade, then jumps, and kicks Durga hard with both feet)

Durga: *pained howl*

Ren: (bandages shoot from his outstretched hand and wrap around Durga's feet)

Durga: ! *angry snarl*

Ren: (more bandages shoot from his hands, wrapping around her legs & torso)

Durga: [Starts slashing at the bandages]

(But they seem to be indestructible... Ren proceeds to almost totally mummify Durga.)

Durga: *angry roaring* ['Release me at once!!]

Ren: I can't do that. I'm being paid to deliver you and your kind to my benefactor.

Durga: *growl*

Ren: (lifts the mummified Durga and tosses her into the truck)

Durga: !

Ren: (shuts and locks the doors, and looks at his list again)

Ren: Hmm...
 * Agni
 * Narukami
 * Anumati
 * Akheilos
 * Hathor
 * Obaluaye
 * Druantia
 * Perkunas
 * Durga
 * Endovelicus

Back at the Rainbow Hill Zone Beast Arena, Agni, Xevioso and Gabieta, as well as a fourth beast, were already tucked in their cages. Mac turned to Rageik.

"We've got four so far," he said. "Can we open up the Arena to the public now?"

Rageik pondered this. He finally smiled.

"I don't see why not," he replied. So the two Chaos Controlled away to spread the news; the Arena of Beasts was open for business.

"... Arena of beasts..." A lone man, several feet tall donned in white and black clothing with ice-blue hair stood from the top of a nearby spire. His face, although suggesting he was not interested, showed the opposite after he smirked. "... Maybe they'll pose a good challenge..."

Rageik looked up towards the voice.

"Do we have a challenger?" he asked.

"...Sure." Gai'Vahros jumped from the spire in front of the Mobian. "... which one is the strongest?"

"It's rather a matter of Element," said Rageik. "Currently we have only four beasts; one of Fire and Earth, one of Fire and Wind, one of Poison and one of Electricity."

"hmmm..." Gai hesitated choosing; he wanted to fight one that had some form of advantage over him, but he couldn't think of any. "...Fine..." Gai looked over, counting the number of cages; four indeed. He smirked before flicking at his bangs. "All four should suffice..."

"Wait," said Mac. "You don't mean all four at the same time, do y-"

Rageik slapped the back of Mac's head.

"Of course he doesn't, you twit!" he growled.

"... Actually... I do." Guyviroth smirked; he thought perhaps it would even things out. "You gonna keep me waiting?"

"This should be interesting, said Rageik, grinning.

A few minutes later, in the arena, the four cages were ready to be opened.

Gai stood in the middle of the four cages. The arena looked dank and uncared for. Like a graveyard. But that was how he liked it. Gai placed a fist against his side, as though he was drawing a sword, and sure enough, he did; recoiling it from his side, he pulled his sword from what seemed like nothing. The seven foot blade hadn't tasted blood for a while, but it was Gai's chance to quench it. "... Show me your strength..." he said, waiting for the cages to open.

The cages all opened at the same time, and the four beasts stormed out, snarling and roaring ferociously; a large manticore, a phoenix-gryphon hybrid, a reptilian bipedal with a mane of fire, and a feline-esque thunder beast.

"Let the battle begin!" Rageik cried.

Gai turned to the Manticore; it looked fearsome, but appearances wasn't everything. "... That's enough." Within a split second, Gai ended up behind the Manticore with his sword held to the side as though he had taken a slash at the opponent. Sure enough, he did; it was lightning quick, but perhaps these beasts could see. If the Manticore didn't block it, it would surely find trouble walking after slicing it along the knee.

Indeed, Gai's attack had made its mark. The Manticore's velocity, along with the slice to its right knee, sent it crashing, nearly into the opposite wall. The Phoenix, meanwhile, had taken to the sky, and began spewing fireballs at Gai'Vahros.

"... One down..." Gai smirked; he thought it would of been more of a challenge, but he didn't complain; he had a fight and that was good enough for him. he felt some heat behind him, noticing several fireballs heading towards him. he simply reared back his arm, and then with immense force thrusted his palm outwards. The power sent a large current of air towards the phoenix and its fireballs, dispersing the fire with its immense pressure, and threatening to blast the phoenix away as well if it wasn't going to avoid it.

But the phoenix flapped her mighty wings, battling with Gai's wind blast for supremacy. The Manticore (it was apparently a female) was struggling to her feet, but couldn't stand, so she contented herself with spewing acid at Gai. The thunder beast and the fiery reptile waited to see whether or not they would need to act; these beasts were smart enough to be a team.

"... Good..." Gai was pleased to see this one fighting back, but noticed the Manticore struggling; it's groans of pain seemed to give indication it was still conscious. As it spat acid, Gai propelled himself high in the air before the acid could touch him; if it did, it wouldn't of been good, especially for his clothing. Blasting through the pressure of the Phoenix' own wind blast, Gai aimed to incapacitate this one's flying abilities by quickly slashing at both ligaments that connect the wing to the body.

Seeing Gai come at her, the phoenix spat more fire as the Manticore limped and staggered the best she could.

The fire struck at Gai, but the speed of his jump caused the fire to disperse as soon as he collided with it, though it did cause some burns to his body and clothing. As he got within reach, Gai took his chance to attack the wings; two slashes in almost 0.4 seconds, it would take something special to avoid them.

His reward was a horrible screech of pain; the phoenix began to plummet to the earth, but coated her front claws in fire and slashed at Gai in revenge

Gai began to fall at the same pace, but only so he could deal more damage. As guessed, phoenix' tend to be aggressive, but as soon as it coated its claws in fire, he knew it was a counter attack, but it wasn't a problem for Gai. Clenching at its leg as the claw came close, Gai tossed his opponent towards the ground with such force that sudden unslowed impact would end up creating a small crater upon smashing into the ground. Not fatal, but would likely leave it unconscious with such head trauma. Gai flexed his fingers upon letting go, feeling a light tingling sensation from touching something embraced in fire for the time he did.

The phoenix screeched again as she crashed, having just enough time to watch Gai land on the ground before fainting. The burly, bipedal fire lizard snarled, feeling anger at seeing one of its fire-aligned brethren fall.

"...hm... two down..." Gai muttered, looking over at the phoenix, and then the manticore, but it didn't seem like it wanted to stay down. "... If you don't stay down I'm going to quarter you..." Gai threatened the manticore; he didn't want to fight it after it was so badly weakened. Instead he turned his attention to the lizard. "Oh... want revenge...? Come at me then..."

The beast charged, its head lowered; it was planning on ramming Gai with its large, curling horns.

Gai smirked for a brief moment, before holding out his hand. As the lizard charged, its head collided with Gai's hand, but couldn't push any further. It seemed that Gai's super-human strength was enough to stop such a creature, as he was aiming to find out. Gai then clicked his wrist, shoving the beast backwards before charging a bright white light around his hand. "... Let's see how concentrated I can get this..." The white light quickly shot forwards in a rather thing stream of energy; the attack was usually a huge stream that would demolish everything in its path, but concentrated it acted like a laser beam; the more compact, the more powerful. The beam headed straight for the lizard's waist, aiming to severe part of the spinal column to cause paralysis in the hind legs, although the damage could be treated.

The beast managed to roll out of the way, but not without sustaining damage on its left thigh. It growled and hurled a volcanic rock at Gai from its mouth.

Gai simply held his sword out in front of him, and as it came close, took a vertical slash and slicing the rock in half, with both halves splitting away and landing to the side of Gai. "... My turn..." Dashing in with a Sonido, he appeared right in front of the lizard and slashed at its front legs, aiming to do the same as he did with the manticore by slicing as the ligaments in the knees.

He only managed to hit one knee, dropping the beast halfway. It slashed at Gai with a fire-coated claw. The thunder beast, meanwhile, was charging up a ball of electricity in its mouth, taking aim at Gai.

Taking the clash, Gai smirked as he turned back and aimed to drive his blade along the back of the lizard to cause some spinal trauma, although it was light and only aimed to severe some of the neurons to cause numbness in the body.

The attack worked; the beast roared in agony and fell forward, struggling to stand up again. The thunder beast fired the ball of electricity at Gai.

At the sound of crackling thunder, Gai turned at the last beast as the ball of lightning headed towards him. Quickly, he tossed the sword at the ball, which began to conduct the electricity through the steel blade while still heading towards the creature. The throw was aimed to pierce it through the chest, but avoiding all major arteries that surrounded the heart.

The thunder beast swatted the sword away, sustaining a large cut on its paw but avoiding having its chest pierced. It roared and sent a blast of electricity at Gai.

After the sword sank into the ground, earthing the electricity, Gai disappeared and grasped at his sword where it landed, aiming to get a quick back attack against the beast by slicing at its side. The beast was far too large to turn around very quickly, and had been momentarily confused by Gai's sudden disappearance. It growled in anger.

"... Over here..." Gai said mockingly with a smirk on his face as he took a quick slice to the animal's side; he aimed to severe a multitude of tendons that helped move the side of the body, namely its forelegs and hind legs.

"RRRAAAWWWWWWWRRRR!!" The sword hit its mark, but quickly began conducting the electricity in the beast's body.

"... Not likely..." Gai retracted a closed fist before aiming to drive it into the beast's stomach with such force as to crack multiple ribs and, hopefully, leave it unconscious. He didn't aim to kill, but nonetheless he had to use extreme force if he were to put it down.

The agonized roar the beast let out was excruciatingly loud. More electricity and blood was released as Gai's drove his blade in deeper.

Gai retracted his sword from the beast and walked away as it collapsed to the ground. Looking at the battlefield, Gai couldn't help but feel remorse, as well as disappointment, from the battle. "... Nevermind..."

A large shadow suddenly fell over him; it was the she-Manticore! She had stumbled and limped painfully over just so she could keep fighting.

Gai sighed heavily; he had told it to stay down, but obviously didn't listen. "... Why can't you just stay down...?" Gai said, though rhetorically. "... Don't make me kill you..."

There was no spark on intellect in her golden yellow eyes; only bloodlust and fury. She snapped her powerful jaws at Gai, nearly hitting him.

Gai recoiled slightly, the jaws almost clamping on him, but it wasn't much of a problem if they did. Leaning forwards again, he took a swing as the manticore's eyes, aiming to slice across the sockets to cause some pain and blindness.

The sword again found its mark, causing the she-beast to rear up, roaring in agony. Thanks to her now lame right leg, however, she lost balance and fell to her side, covering her bleeding face with a clawed paw, groaning and growling in pain.

Gai smirked as he walked over to the now blinded manticore, almost sinisterly. "... What's wrong? Is that the best you've got?" Gai placed his hand tightly on the Manticore's tail, crushing it under such force before swinging it around and tossing it towards the opposite wall. This time it wasn't a fight to incapacitate, but a fight of torture. The manticore hit the wall with a might crash. Now defeated, she simply lay there, panting heavily.

Gai casually placed his sword to the side of him; he wasn't happy at all. He was upset. And angry. With a dark stare in his eyes, he charged a blast in his hand and fired it at a nearby cage that was holding these creatures, destroying it. He then did the same with the other three cages. "... Capturing creatures for the sake of fighting; such a disgusting notion..."

Rageik simply eyed Gai with mild curiosity. The manticore, meanwhile, was staring at Gai with obvious fear and docility; she no longer wanted anything to do with him.

"... If you don't mind..." Gai said, holding his sword in front of him as it disappeared into thin air, then walking over to the Manticore first. He pulled it up from its front leg almost effortlessly, then threw it over his shoulder. "I'm going to be relieving these creatures from your hands... They no longer need to fight for you." Gai began to walk over to the Lizard one next. It was still conscious, and looked up as Gai approached.

Looking down, Gai reached for the scruff of the lizard's neck and picked it up, flinging it over his other shoulder. He made his way to the phoenix next and picked her up in his left hand, then went to the thunder beast and picked him up in his right hand, eventually carrying all four beasts on his body. "... Heavy... but I can do with the workout..."

"I paid good money for Agni," said Rageik, looking irritated.

"... Sorry, I didn't realize..." Gai said, turning slightly. "... But what's more important? Your money, or your life?" Gai turned back around before walking away with the four beasts. And amazingly, Rageik let him go.

It had been quite a while, almost an hour. Finally, Gai reached a destination that overlooked a small clearing, knowing that whoever he was looking for would be here. And they were. "... Thought you'd be here..." gai said to a tall figure overlooking the meadow from the edge of the rock. "... Remind you of home, Ginrai?"

"It does," The man spoke and turned to reveal his deep purple visage; he looked rather young and awkward, having scaled sections along his forehead and nose. "And you've bought visitors? What happened?"

"... an arena fight... but I couldn't bring myself to kill these beasts... trapped and made to fight like wild animals."

"Still got that soft spot for wildlife, eh?" Ginrai smiled before heading over to them. he took a look at the injuries, and was rather surprised. "You really did a number. You gotta learn to go easy." Ginrai's hand began to glow a bright golden color before igniting in a flame. The second hand did the same thing, and gently Ginrai placed them on the lizard first. The touch wasn't as expected; it was warm. But not just any kind of warmth. It was as though they had been enveloped in God's embrace, held tight in the embrace of peace, like nothing could dare harm them as they bathed in the light of heaven itself. The feeling soon lifted as Samanexum was done, with the golden flames repairing all damage that had been inflicted. One at a time, Samanexum did the same with the other three creatures before standing, smiling warmly at all of them. "You're free now. I hope you find true peace in the not-so-distant future."

Suddenly, the two heard a voice in their heads; a female voice, rather husky and deep.

"What has happened to us?" the voice asked.

Samanexum heard the voice and responded, though Gai decided to let Ginrai handle it. '''You have been restored to your full health with the aid of the Sacred Flames. Any damage my comrade has done has been, basically, reverse.' ''

'Yes...but...in that arena...' 

'It did something to our minds, Ghede,' said a deep male's voice. 'It made us into...true beasts.' 

'... I didn't feel anything...' Gai joined in, seeing as he was there. '''It wasn't spiritual... the effects of whatever it was could of been mechanical...' ''

'''Mechanical? Like a computer chip...?' ''

'''No... More like a neuron wave... A machine might of been sending out electrical waves that disrupt your brain and bodily functions...' ''

'We were being controlled... '

'Like puppets... '

Part 8
(Meanwhile...)

Ren: (looks at his list) Let's see... (puts a cross through Akheilos and floors it)

(At the Southern Great Sea...)

Ren: (paces along the shoreline)

(Is that a fin out in the distance...?)

Ren: (stops and looks out at the fin)

(Its moving along at cruising speed...)

Ren: (waits)

(But it doesn't appear to even notice Ren...he'll have to draw it in somehow.)

Ren: Hmm... (molds his bandages into a giant fist and punches the water, causing huge shockwaves)

(The fin immediately turns towards the source of the shockwaves and approaches, building speed.)

Ren: (waits)

(The fin suddenly sinks beneath the surface of the water!)

Ren: (prepares himself)

(Silence...)

Ren: (tenses)

(Then, a dragon-like face peers out of the water!)

Ren: (smiles)

(The beast opens its mouth and begins to inhale, taking in great amounts of water.)

Ren: (places one hand to the ground)

???: [Keeps inhaling water]

Ren: (keeps his position) What are you waiting for?

(The beast releases a high-pressure, piercing stream of water at Ren!)

Ren: HAAH! (draws his hand up, drawing out long, thin bandages woven together, a net of bandages springs up from under the beast, ensnaring it and deflecting its attack!)

???: *loud roar*

Ren: I expected more.

(The beast opens its mouth and bites at Ren, nearly getting him!)

Ren: (doesn't flinch, grabs the net and begins dragging it back to the van)

(It rolls and struggles, snapping massive jaws.)

Ren: (throws it in the back of the van, checks list) Ren: Hmmm... (crosses out Obaluaye, and drives off)
 * Agni
 * Narukami
 * Anumati
 * Akheilos
 * Hathor
 * Obaluaye
 * Druantia
 * Perkunas
 * Durga
 * Endovelicus

(In a secluded area of Old Robotropolis, rather far from the Poison Clan of Dokuso's village...)

Ren: (bandages unwrap from his body and wrap around his mouth like a gas mask)

(Obaluaye is busy making sure the toxins and chemicals don't leak outside of Old Robotropolis.)

Ren: (the bandages on his hands unravel)

(Obaluaye hears the rustling.)

Obaluaye: ? [looks around]

Ren: (thrusts his hand out, a larger hand made of bandages grabs Obaluaye)

Obaluaye: *roar* [spews acid at Ren]

Ren: (flips out of the way)

(Obaluaye twists and squirms, trying to escape the bandage hand. It begins to unravel, and wind around him, trapping him.)

Obaluaye: *roar* [hurls a Sludge Bomb at Ren)

Ren: (dodges)

Obaluaye: (Hurls another one)

Ren: (dodges again, the bandages almost totally mummify Obaluaye)

Obaluaye: *snarling*

Ren: (Tosses him in the back of the truck, then drives to the Rainbow Hill Troll Base, gets out) Rageik!

Rageik: Ah, you're back.

Ren: I've brought you something. Some things. (opens the van, and the mummified Durga and Obaluaye and the netted Akhelios fall out)

Rageik: Hopefully I have enough to pay for such fine beasts...especially considering that the first four were stolen from me!

Ren: That's not my problem. It'll cost you... 750,000 for the lot of them.

Rageik: *low growl* They better be worth it...

Ren: (emotionless) They are, and if I don't get at least that much, I'm selling them to the next highest bidder. (smiles faintly) I heard Ronix is looking for some good-quality beasts...

Rageik: WHAT?! [quickly pulls out 750,000 Mobiums and gives them to Ren]

Ren: (pockets the money, gets back in the van, and drives off in search of Narukami)

Rageik: *sigh* I need a better job...

(At Thunder Peak...)

Ren: (gets out, looks around) Hmm...

(He hears a rhythmic thudding sound, like large paws running on the ground...)

Ren: (kneels down, hiding in the grass)

(A huge she-wolf, of Electric alignment, eventually appears. She stops and sniffs the air.)

Ren: (waits)

(She keeps sniffing, moving her nose to the ground.)

Ren: (gets ready)

???: *sniffing* ..........

Ren: (jumps out of the bush, rolls underneath Narukami and out the other side, a bandage wraps around her legs and he pulls it tight, effectively hog-tying her)

Narukami: *howls*

Ren: (uses Mummify)

Narukami: (Sparking with electricity, snarling)

Ren: (emotionless)

Narukami: (Looks at Ren) {"What is the meaning of this, mortal?!"}

Ren: It's nothing personal. Someone is paying me a large amount of Mobiums to capture and bring him beasts such as yourself.

Narukami: {"Graaagh!! What despicable greed!!"} (charges up a Zap Cannon in her mouth)

Ren: I have my motives, and my desires. You wouldn't understand.
