Battle for paradise part 1
It’s been a month.
A thunderstorm and high winds was soon to be picking up.
Luz and amity dashed off to find lunch for the day. Pressing their noses to the ground tracking to follow the scent of a pheasant.
Suddenly, a scent entered their nose, one that caught luz’s attention. It was a familiar scent, one would often smell while eating prey: blood. It was incredibly strong, too.
Amity was puzzled and a little frightened. Was someone hurt? She couldn't be sure, but there was only one way to find out.
They abandoned the pheasant scent, following the smell of blood and pushed through some bushes, and saw the patroller, a grey wolf named Sam, lying on the ground, his body covered in horrifying gashes and bruises. The injured wolf was breathing heavily, his face strained as he fought the urge to succumb to the pain of his wounds.
"Oh my gosh!" cried luz , backing away, her pupils shrunk in horror.
Hearing the younger wolf , Sam moved his head, staring up at her with eyes glowing in terror.
"D-daughter of our leaders..." he began weakly. "Please...listen to what I have to say..."
Luz and amity nodded slowly.
"O-Ok..."
"Two days ago...I and s-some other wolves ...were returning from our search...for belos...B-But....W-We were attacked..."
"B-By what?"
"A beast..." Sam began breathing faster. "H-He was huge...and had a great mane..."
"A beast with a mane?" Amity murmured. "That sounds like..."
"No..."Sam said. "N-Not just a beast...it was be..los"
With his eyes rolling back, sam’s head collapsed on the ground, his eyes glazed over in death.
Both girls stood there, quivering, blinking back scared tears they lifted their head, letting out a high-pitched howl that echoed through the woods.
It wasn't long before the surrounding bushes began to shake, and soldiers entered the scene including Luz’s parents. There were gasps and cries of shock at the sight of the dead wolf.
"Youngsters," rocket began. "What's happened here?"
"W-we’re was just trying to find some prey, wh-when I started smelling blood. I followed the smell and found this guy."
Eda’s eyes widened as she recognized Sam.
"Sam..." rocket began. "One of our searchers..." He looked at luz and amity. "Was he dead when you found him?"
Amity shook her head.
"He was still alive, just barely...he...he spoke to us before he died..."
"And what did he say?"
Luz shivered just thinking about the words of the dying wolf. "He said...he had been attacked two days ago while he was coming back from patrol for belos ...it was a beast..."
"A beast?" Rocket echoed. "Did he say what it looked like?"
This only caused luz to shiver more.
"He said it was huge, with a mane...but...he said it looked like belos..."
Silence lingered over the wolves. Oswald, usually known for his calm demeanor, was now staring off into the distance, memories of belos flashing in his mind. If the beast that had attacked the patrol , could it be that...?
"I must speak to my team," balto said suddenly. "This may be serious. Luz and amity, return to the other children; a soldier will escort you all back to the dens.
"B-But what about...?" Luz trailed off as she looked at sam’s body.
Eda nodded. "He will receive a proper burial," she replied and assured.
Oswald then called for two other wolves, assigning them with the task of laying the wolf to rest, before balto and his team darting into the trees, leaping from branch to branch until he was gone from sight.
Amity watched the soldiers pick up sam’s body, taking him away.
Oswald’s nose had located the scent at its source... ah... the bastard was lurking in the corner, waiting for them to just stupidly rush into... Then, he looked over the children’s head and saw a familiar glowing blue eye.. and gleaming white fangs were revealed...
"RUN, LUZ! AMITY!
"GRAUUUUUGGHHH!"
The Beast jumped out of his hiding place and onto the unsuspecting and frozen luz. Amity , thinking quickly as possible pushed her girlfriend out of the way and putting herself right in the line of fire.
"You bastard!!" Oswald yelled time to react as eda charged forwards, grabbing amity before the belos could sink his fangs.
Luz was shaking in fear. The beast looked like a mix of a half bear and half wolf, he was huge, with a wild grey mane.
Scott a dark orange wolf attempted to flee from the beast. However, he was unable to escape as he slipped on some small stones scattered about the ground. Cursing, he scrambled to get back onto his paws, and then...
Luz watched in horror as Scott was decapitated before everyone, the monster known as belos grinning in a sadistic manner as it licked the blood from its lips. smell the distinct scent of humans and canines alike in the beast's breath as it was momentarily consumed by blood lust.
Finally, luz was unfrozen and managed to turn tail and run back the way they had come, though she had no idea where to go ,but was forced to change paths as belos would run ahead and appear in front of her. It was as if the monster was taunting her...
–
Her parents calling her name in the background, Irritated luz looked at the bare muscles and thought for a faint moment she could hear the beast's heart ticking... Then ahe was leaping towards the monster with fangs bared and fury boiling in her heart. Luz sunk her teeth deep into a patch of muscle and tried desperately to rip it off, finding it rather difficult. Though this tissue was considerably tougher than last time, it was still quite tough.
She bit down, and belos roared with what sounded like agony.
Luz then felt a huge paw push against her face, forcibly removing her from belos’s chest. The beast roared louder and began to lick the small opening in its chest, while Luz smacked hard against the wall of a tree.
a familiar voice called,
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Raine roared, teeth bared and eyes blazing as they confronted the beast. Belos turned, only mildly annoyed someone had interrupted his kill.
"I may not look it, but I’m a fighter to the end!
Beast Belos had no time to react as raine charged forwards, grabbing the beast's muzzle and biting down fiercely making him bleed…unfortunately raine was dislodge from their places and thrown against a cliff causing a rockslide burying them both.
_______
All the soldiers watched with a mixture of awe and horror as slowly, the beast lifted itself out and jumped to the ground. He roared angrily.
Oswald and his subordinates, and was a little unnerved at how they were just standing there..planning and. watching. They all looked like they were waiting for something.
Rocket shared a look with his team, and then nodded slightly. Then he returned back to his normal position quickly.
The beast lumbered forwards, a single wound bleeding ever so slightly on its chest.
"Damn wolves ... you have always been a tool of the devil. Now, I'll send every single one of you back to Hell."
The beast's eyes glinted.
"No, no way, that guy's still alive!" Rocket panicked.
Ken cried. "Damn, he's tough!"
Luz’s heart was racing, that monster was still alive? Her soul felt like it was on fire, and she knew this was different than the time she had watched this thing. He kill many. This anger... it was different somehow. Her claws gripped the ground beneath and scratched it lightly..
“why do you wolves always protect this worthless wasteland... .." belos spoke.
No answer came.
"Damn wolves, WHY?"
Rocket lifted his muzzle, gazing into belos’s eyes. "Because it is our purpose. to thrive and protect the future.”
“Hell spawns! because of you’re kind, I am nothing more than a raving cannibal! I am a MONSTER!"
Belos laughed manically, lunging forward in that moment and attacking everyone that got in his way. He made quick work of teams, while Oswald and eda managed to dodge his attacks to go and look for raine but were knocked aside.
Meanwhile rocket stood, emotionless. Then, he nodded.
"Let's go."
As Oswald and eda were picking themselves up, they watched as rocket ran past with his team, running towards the other side of the field.
"Over here, bastard monster!”
Belos lunged at them, drool flying from his mouth.
"HOW DARE YOU!! NO ONE CALLS ME BY THAT NAME!"
Rocket slowed his pace so that Matt was at his side.
"Are you ready?"
"Of course."
"Can I leave this to you?"
"Hell kind of question is that? Just watch."
Matt a tan wolf turned around and lunged towards belos’s chest, biting down as hard as he could. His teeth finally reached the small tear luz had no doubt inflicted, and he bit down hard. His fangs were sunk deep into the flesh and he wouldn't let go.
"Damn it rocket! Are you just gonna sit on your ass and watch him die?" Oswald yelled angrily, yet he got no response from the wolf as they were digging for raine.
Rocket’s eyes were solely fixed on Matt and belos as he stood stone still with the wind ruffling his fur.
Belos growing angrier by the moment, at last managed to sink its teeth into Matt’s head and began to pull.
Think you can kill me? TRY IT!"
“Are you crazy this is suicidal!” Eda shouts.
With a large rip, belos tore Matt from his chest, creating a large, open wound that was clearly visible.
Rocket nodded, and another leapt forward. The black wolves Kyle and ken ran and dove head first into the open wound, causing belos to roar in pain and drop Matt. As they began tearing at the arteries and muscle underneath, sadden by his friend ken bit down harder, hoping his death would be just as painless.
Suddenly, kyle felt teeth seize his body, and he was being pulled from the wound. His teeth sank in deeper, though, and he narrowed his eyes in pain. He choked, and then was pulled from the wound, making its entry way larger. Both was suddenly thrown against the ground, and sustained a terrible injury to head and ribs Already, the world was becoming blurrier...
Stan a yellow wolf took charge, and dove for the monster. He was able to push it down onto its back, and was slowly drowning in the blood of the beast. His mind ceased to function as the beast slowly rose and put its jaws around his head. He waited patiently, for the sickening crunch. Like the others before him, he was torn from the wound, and hastily beaten down by the monster. He felt his body soaring through the air, but hardly felt it when the massive beast headbutted him, forcing him back to down to the ground. There was only one left...
Rocket’s eyes had glazed over as he watched all of his subordinates, and friends, die one by one. Now they became coldly focused as he broke out into a sprint, ready to inflict the final blow.
"Are you ready, for your death! belos!”
He yelled out, running as fast as he could towards the monster that he and his friends had been hunting down. He was the last of his team to send the beast to hell. He was approaching the beast quickly, and dove for the wound...
Time seemed to slow down as his teeth met empty air...
and belos harmlessly soared over him... turned to face rocket, his eyes narrowed.
"I won't allow this win."
Rocket and everyone froze... had all of their efforts... been worth nothing? Belos was... unaffected?
