Volk and Sobaka went to find Lykos, Skylos, and Alepou. They knocked on their door and Skylos opened it.
Skylos: Sup.
Volk: Where are the other two?
Skylos: Lykos is asleep since he stayed up taking care of Alepou and well Ale is next to Lykos taking care of him.
Sobaka: Huh...well, we need everyone because we need to decide what we're gonna do, once Ly wakes up let's meet up at Aster's house.
Skylos: Alright, will do...Oh, wait, If you're going over to Okami then please tell him to come over here real quick.
Volk: Alright then, we'll call him over here for you.
From the other room, Alepou was heard hitting something and screaming "STOP!". Skylos proceeded to sigh.
Skylos: I'll check on them.
Sobaka: Good luck comrade.
Sobaka and Volk closed the door and went over to Okami and Kitsune. Skylos walked down the hallway and entered the bedroom. He saw Alepou putting her shirt back on.
Skylos: What the hell happened?
Lykos: OW!
Alepou: You were trying to do things to me in your sleep!
Skylos: I can't leave you two alone for one second without things escalating. I'm expecting a baby next time I check on you.
Alepou: You fucking moron.
Alepou threw a pillow at him but Skylos caught it in his hands. He threw it back onto the bed and left the room.
Alepou: And you! What the fuck were you dreaming about?!
His face turned red.
Lykos: things...
Alepou slapped him across the face. In the other house, Volk and Sobaka were talking to Okami and Kitsune.
Volk: So yeah, we either leave or go to ground zero. Think about your choice before we all meet up at Aster's house.
Kitsune: ...alright...
Okami put his hand on Kitsune's back.
Volk: Oh, Skylos wanted to talk to you, Oka.
Okami: Can't he walk over here?
Volk: He's taking care of Alepou and Lykos.
Okami: Hmph, fine. I'll be back Kit...you two stay here and take care of her.
Sobaka: I mean...that was the plan but okay.
Okami stood up and walked to the house Lykos and the others were in. He knocked on the door and Skylos opened it.
Skylos: Oh, thanks for getting here. Umm, Alepou had a question for you about powers. She's in the bedroom with Lykos.
Okami: Weren't you taking care of them?
Skylos: I am, those two are like two kids. Even with me being the youngest I still act older than them. Just go talk to them, they're probably still hitting each other.
Okami: Al...right?
Okami walked over to the bedroom, he opened the door to see Lykos sitting in a corner while Alepou was laying in bed angry.
Okami: What the hell happened here?
Lykos: She's mad at me...
Alepou: WHY SHOULDN'T I BE?!
Okami: What the fuck?
Alepou: Anyway, Okami, I sorta have a new power.
Lykos: What?
Alepou: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Lykos rolled up in a ball in the corner.
Okami: Alright, let's see it.
Alepou created a protective bubble that covered her. Okami approached it and started tapping on it.
Okami: Well this is definitely new...it seems to be hard enough to take a Telum hit.
Okami summoned his scythe and hit the bubble, the hit got deflected back.
Okami: Definitely strong enough to stop a Telum hit.
Lykos thought to himself "Wait...is that the bubble from back in the city? No...hers is yellow...the one back then was green."
Alepou: Whoa, that scythe...
Okami: Oh right, I have a Telum now...don't know how, but I do. About your power, since this is absolutely new then...it's possible that this is your own power. You're one of the lucky few who attain a power of their own and not from an orb.
Alepou: Orb?
Lykos: Like the one from the fore-
Alepou: I thought I told you to shut up!
Lykos rolled up in a ball again.
Okami: Orbs that are dropped from killing monstras or people with powers can transfer the power to a new person. Lykos said he used one in a forest and that's how he can heal other people.
Alepou: Oh, that seems cool. Is it possible for anyone to get one?
Okami: Yep, anyone at any age can get one.
Alepou: Is your power your own?
Okami: Nope, got it from an orb long ago.
A knock was heard at the door, Skylos and everyone else entered the room.
Volk: Why are you in a corner?
Lykos pointed towards Alepou.
Alepou: He deserves to be there.
Volk: Okay? We need to choose what we're gonna do.
Volk talked about the plan of either investigating or leaving, he also mentioned Aster's power.
Okami: I feel like we should investigate, especially after that threat that the lady gave us. We now know it was not an empty threat. Also, it'll give me a chance to get revenge for what they did to Inu.
Kitsune: I'm with Oka, I want to see whoever did this dead.
Alepou: I...feel like we should investigate too. If the same person that did this to us is the person that destroyed our city then they need to pay. You may speak now, Astraea.
Skylos: Oh, last name, and everything.
Lykos stood up from the ground.
Lykos: Well, I feel like she's right, I want to see whoever destroyed our city and our way of living gone forever.
"Are you sure that's all you want? Do you know the amount of power we'll have if we take down everyone attacking us? We'll be absolute GODS! No one can stop us, no one can hurt us!" said Argos in Lykos' head but Lykos ignored him.
Skylos: I'll do whatever they do, I just wanna see if dad is still around.
Volk: Right, we'll head to that first no matter what decision we make. Me and Sobaka are already okay with going to ground zero. If everyone is ready then let's go to Aster's house. Make sure to pack up everything we need to survive.
The 7 of them started packing food and clothing in their bags. After an hour of preparation, they all grouped up at Aster's house.
Aster: So, what have you decided?
Volk: We're gonna go to ground zero.
Aster: I would say a wise choice but damn...that sounds stupid.
Kitsune: We know.
Aster: Well, as you wish.
Aster snapped his fingers and a portal opened next to him, through it, they saw a blonde man with cyan eyes fighting someone else.
Skylos: Dad?!
Volk: That is very convenient. Let's go help him out!
Lykos and Alepou waved goodbye to Aster, Skylos thanked him and said his goodbyes to him, Okami and Kitsune waved goodbye as well. Sobaka patted Aster on the back and thanked him for his help, Volk fist-bumped Aster and thanked him for everything. They all entered the portal and Aster said some words before closing it.
Aster: I hope you all find what you need and lead happy lives!
He closed the portal behind them.
The group ran towards the blonde man to help him out in this fight. The man looked back and noticed the group, he immediately noticed Skylos and dropped his guard. The person he was fighting took the chance to try and pierce him with his blade, but Volk reacted quicker and threw his shield to block the hit. The other man moved back a bit as the group approached.
Volk: I'm guessing you're Fidi.
Fidi: Why yes, who are you all?
Skylos ran next to him.
Skylos: You don't recognize them, dad?
He pointed towards Alepou and Lykos.
Fidi: SKY?! Wait...not now, Mirazh is here to kill me. I gotta take him down first.
Okami: So his name's Mirazh huh...
Mirazh: Ahh, the group I was looking for appeared when I needed them.
Volk: Let me guess...your lady wants us captured?
Mirazh: If you already know then they failed.
He pulled out another Telum from thin air, now he had a sword and an axe.
Volk: Oka, Lykos, let's do this. All those with powers try to assist us.
Okami threw two orbs at Kitsune and told her "You can use it with one hand, just try and break them." She did as he said, fire came out of her hand and a fox spirit appeared next to her.
Mirazh: Just 4 Telum users? This will be easy now that I don't have to hold back.
Okami: Heh...JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!
The battle had begun, Okami was upfront with his scythe, Lykos ran just behind him with his axe, Volk stayed behind the 2 to give them support and Fidi pulled out his Telum which was a spear. Mirazh stomped on the ground, and they all felt a wave of dizziness.
Mirazh: You're nothing but mortals in our lady's eyes!
