Chapter 213 - UNTAMES

"DON'T HOLD BACK. THIS IS YOUR HOMELAND…..NOT THEIRS!!!! FIGHT FOR IT!!!"

*Boom*

"I'm here Scarlett, I see you already awoke an army."

"Don't just stand there, Hopper. Fight."

"....Just like Wolf, fight first, talk later. How many of them are there?"

"I don't know."

*Ting*

*Ting*

*Shing*

"ROARRRRR!!!!!"

"There's too many to count. Aaron just drops a few of his Beasts off on a planet, and then takes the rest onwards. We can't hold them off forever. Our numbers are too shallow."

"You may not have to. Look yonder. The Dragons are making their descent."

"Archhh!!"

"Rowwwaallllll!!!!!"

"GET OFF HER."

"Aaa…kiiish!!!"

"Aaaaaaghhh. He's got my leg.

Scarlett, you said that there were Healers on your planet, did you not?"

"The key word there is were. Kerina and Timmy sent them on their separate ways to different planets, leaving us too fend our own."

"Raaaaarrrrr!!!"

"Got you!!!

*Triiiiiipppppp*

"Hopper? How did….how did you defeat that Beast so easily? All the rest of us are struggling? Where were you when this started?"

"And here I thought you were like Wolf.

Get everybody back."

"What?"

"You heard me, Scarlett. Only Pures, Purebloods, and Dragons can kill these things. You Halfs are too weak. Save your…"

"Arcch…archh…archhh."

"Errrr…..*boom*"

"Archhh.archhh…Striiiiii.....rip"

"Yuaaaaaaaghhhh!!!

GO!!!!!"

"YOU HEARD HIM. EVERYBODY BACK!!! MOVE…MOVE…MOVE.

Hopper, I thank you."

"Don't thank me yet. Just do as I say."

"HOPPER!!!"

"RAVEN!!!"

"DO AS I SAY. HEADBUTT THEM SO THAT YOU CAN INJECT YOUR POISION AND KNOCK THEM OUT."

"RAVEN, THESE BEASTS ARE PRE PURES. MY POISION HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON THEM."

'YES, BUT COMBINED WITH OUR FIRE…I PROMISE YOU THEY WILL FEEL IT WAY STRONGER. TRUST ME."

"Come on, everybody back. Gather your loved ones and hold them tight. I want no....HOPPPER!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"RUUURAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"Dragons, aim your fire at Hopper. The moment his head touches their group, I want you to fire as hard and as fast as you can."

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

*BANG*

"BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"They're lighting him up like a Christmas tree."

"Aaaaaaghhhhh!!!!"

"Aaaaaaaaghhhhh!!!"

"PRESS FORWARD. DON'T HOLD BACK. EVERY BREATH COUNTS."

"HUHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHH!!!!!"

*BOOM*

"BA..DOOM"

"Hopper!!! Hopper!!! Are you ok? Can you hear me? Hopper?"

"Scarlett, get back. He's poisionous."

'I don't care. He saved us. He killed them all.

WE NEED A HEALER!!!! A HEALER!!!! IS ANYBODY A HEALER!!"

"I AM!!!!

I stayed behind when we were recalled. Said I was too old. Here, take my cane."

"Thank you. See what you can do. Give him room."

"This is gonna hurt, son."

"I can take it, old man. I am after all...Aaaaaaghhhhh!!!!!"

"What were you going to say?"

"....Th..th….thank you. I was going to say thank you."

"That's what I thought. Now, take my hand. Upsie daisy."

"Is everyone ok?"

"We're good."

"Dragons?"

"Crystal."

"Scarlett?"

"Breathing."

"Now, let's go find…..whe..whe…where did everyone go?"

"Stay close everyone. We're not alone."

"Grrr....Grrrr....Roff!! Roff!!!!"

"Hurrrrrrr!!!!"

"Get behind me. Girl, hand me my cane."

"They're just Wilds? I'm bigger then they."

"Hopper, if you know what is best for you, then you will stay behind me. You may be bigger, but these animals know no sleep. They are always eating. They took advantage of our distraction so that they could dispose one by one of the other Breeds."

"I never heard them."

"No one ever does. What are you going to do, old man? How is one eighty five…."

"96!!"

"Ninety six year old man, better then Dragons and Pures, to protect us? You canbarely lift your cane as is."

*Cli….click*

"What the? Did your cane just turn into a staff?"

"HERE THEY COME!!!"

"Gerrr...rofff"

*Ping*

"ROFFFF!!!"

*SLAM*

"There are too many of them. We can't stand in this circle forever….."

"Adam."

"Adam!!"

"You can swing at them and knock them out of the park night and day, but they will always keep multiplying."

"You're right. We need to move. As long as we stay where there is light, then we'll be good. Nobody and I mean nobody is to step into any patches of shade, for that is where they hide."

"Yes sir."

"Now stay close. We move as one."

"Grrrr....Grr..."

*Wack*

"Roff!!!! RRRRR…..Rofff"

*Burn*

*Kick*

"KEEP GOING!!! KEEP GOING!!! DON'T STOP!!!!"

"Climb on me. We can make it.

ADAM, CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING UP AHEAD? ALL I SEE IS A FOG OF THESE THINGS."

"I SEE A CHURCH UP AHEAD. I'LL HOLD THE DOOR AND YOU GO SEE IF IT IS CLEAR!!!

"COMING!!!"

"Go….go…..go!!!"

*Pewbabababpew!!!!*

*Bapapapabapew*

"THERE IS NOT MUCH, BUT THIS PLACE IS NOW CLEAR. YOU CAN COME…."

"ROARRRRR!!!"

"GET OFF ME!!!!"

"SCARLETTTTT?"

"Roafff…..Roafff"

"Archhhhss"

"OWWWWW!!!!!!!"

"Archsss!!"

"Scarlett, I got you."

*Pow. Pow. Pow*

"Arooow….arooouhh…..arouuuhhh"

*Pow*

*Crack*

"RAVEN, BLOW A FUSE OVER HERE. HURRY!!"

*Phoooouuuuuuuu*

"That's right. Scatter!!! Beat it!!! Go on."

"How is she?"

"I've been worse."

"My girl, they were all over you."

"Maybe if I wasn't BORN A FOX….then they'd LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!"

"Hopper, close the door, and then take the Dragons to go turn on every light you can. Don't worry about baring up the windows. We can do that later."

"On it."

"Now, where does it hurt, Scarlett?"

"Ouch…ouch…ouch. You're hurting me. It hurts everywhere."

"...There you go. You should feel better now."

"DOORS AND WINDOWS ARE CLOSED AND LOCKED, SIR."

"Lights?"

"....Even the Strobes. It'll blind you if you go upstairs."

"Better a light blind you than a predator.

Let's get comfortable. We'll be here awhile."

"I can go out and get us some food. It's still relatively light out. It won't be a problem."

"No. They may fear the light now, but once they fully realize that all Healers are truly gone, nothing will stop them from parading the streets.

Go see if this church was a storage church, or just a Deacon. Maybe we won't have to go outside."
