Netherhiem 06
Weekend morning.
Hydrus was awake for a few minutes, still in his Nether Form, too much of a hassle to turn back.
He was thinking of doing some research later on how to counter Asura's parasite.
Although not powerful, Asura's parasite makes up for it by being complicated, they have a failsafe that kills the host instantly upon removal attempts.
Luckily, Hydrus encountered such parasites before, so he has an idea on how to deal with it.
He felt soft movement at his legs.
He looked down, and found a purple face, button eyes and a sown smiley mouth.
Mr. Creepy.
"What are you doing Kevin?"
"I am not Kevin peasant, I am Mr. Creepy, I am going to eat your soul, beware my fearsome appetite" Kevin said with his best evil voice.
Hydrus just chuckled lightly.
Then quick movement, he bent forward and grabbed Kevin from under the covers, lifting him up.
Kevin his long-eared collie boy, laughed loudly, and screaming happily, trying to escape his daddy's grip.
Hydrus now put them face to face, "Now I'm going to eat you, staring with your cute little nose" and he began playfully nibbling on Kevin's nose, making those 'om nom nom' sounds.
After a more playing and wrestling, they sat on the bed, with Kevin in daddy's lap.
"Daddy you promised to take me out to buy a new toy today"
"Okay sweatheart, daddy has to get ready first, okay? Then we can go, and we will get you that plane you wanted"
"Yay, thank you daddy" Kevin jumped and kissed him on his bone muzzle, before racing out of the room, spreading his arms, and making plane sounds, as if flying out of the room.
Hydrus got up and stretched before surrounding himself in shadows.
Those said shadows began compressing his body, tightening around him, before dispersing to reveal his mortal form.
He got up from the bed and headed for his bathroom, a shower will help him think more clearly.
After setting the shower to the right temperature, he stood below the water.
As he was taking his shower, a figure got into the bathroom, tiptoeing towards him.
"You know I can hear you Victor"
"Oh damn babe, you got quite the ears"
Hydrus still kept his back to his badass rat husband, who wrapped his arms behind him in a loving embrace.
Hydrus turned his body to Victor, returning the embrace, Victor was appraising his hunk of a husband, "Damn hon, you had to change back? I always preferred your real looks. Doesn't mean I love you any less in this 'get-up'."
"No worries, but going out all big, furry and bone faced will not paint a good image for the people"
"Ah, who care what those a-holes think, your beautiful in whatever shape you take" He suddenly had a lewd smile on his face, "In fact, how about I show you?"
Before Hydrus could say anything, Victor bit his neck slightly, but hard enough to draw blood, thanks to his front teeth, but not breaking the skin any deeper than that. He then trailed his teeth on Hydrus' neck, until reaching his throat and letting his tongue take over.
Hydrus moaned loudly before he could hold himself, his 'mortal' cock slowly rising to attention.
Victor began trailing his licks down his husband's body, giving his nipples a lick and a pinch each, then trailing down his abs before reaching his waking pole.
The water was still running down both their naked bodies, an idea popped into Hydrus' head.
He manoeuvred his tail to Victor's, coiling around it and lifting it up, Then Hydrus morphed the tip so that it was soft instead of sharp, and looking more like an anal probe.
He pushed it into Victor's exposed hole.
It went in a little too easily.
"You came prepared....didn't you?" Hydrus was panting lightly.
Victor winked seductively at him, licking the meat pole from all sides, before taking in his mouth, to the roots.
'Aaaaaah' Hydrus couldn't help but scream softly, one of his biggest turn-ons was deepthroating.
Victor began bobbing his muzzle and throat around the 10 inch rod, moaning slightly at the tail opening him up, he was crouching down, so he didn't have to hold his cheeks apart.
A few minutes later, Victor pulled off, after making sure Hydrus was properly lubed. He Turned around a bit too quickly, almost slipping and presented his pink pucker, "Please babe, take me...ram that monster inside"
Hydrus leaned behind him, hot-dogging his dick between Victor's bubble cheeks, teasing him.
Victor really hated it when Hydrus stalled, "Come on asshole, just do it already"
Theeere we go.
Hydrus loved teasing Victor, he was cute when he becomes all rough talk and dirty mouthed.
And Hydrus wasn't someone to refuse a request.
He lined his tip to the hole.
*WHAM*
He thrust forward, burying all ten inches to the hilt, causing Victor to scream in both pain and pleasure.
Hydrus was pulling out and pushing roughly, finding a simple rhythm he began his assault on Victor's hole.
The rat was moaning and groaning loudly, "Y-yes baby...ugh....that's it....g-g-give it to me hard stud, don't you...da...ah....dare pull out"
Hydrus was not even thinking of doing so.
He held Victor's waist with one hand, his other was rubbing the rat's thick back. He loved Victor's heavy body, from his little toes to his big muscle body to his rough face, everything about him screamed badass.
Victor was now panting hard, jacking his thick uncut 7 inches, "Babe....I'm..ah...close"
Hydrus increased his onslaught, slapping Victor's ass hard with his waist, "You want it sweetie, you want my hot jizz?"
"Y-y-yes...ugh..gi..hah..give it...to me.. I..I want it"
"Then here it comes!!"
With one final thrust, Hydrus buried himself deep, pressing Victor's prostate hard, before showering it, with his white body fluids.
Victor came with a loud scream, his own cum splatting hard on the tile floor below them, washing along with the water from the long forgotten shower head.
Hydrus remained inside his panting rodent husband for a few minutes, his cock now throbbing lightly as it reduced to small trickles. He then pulled out slowly, loving the look of the leaking hole in front of him.
He lifted Victor to his feet, holding him due to his weak knees, "Thanks babe, I really needed that" He licked Victor's nose playfully.
"Any..*phew*...any time hot stuff"
They quickly showered and cleaned each other, with some groping and suggestive caressing.
They left the bathroom, both with a towel on their wastes.
Victor looked back at Hydrus with a wide smile, "Shower sex is all ways hot isn't it?"
Hydrus just nodded, with a smile of his own.
"DADDY" Kevin burst into the room wearing a green zip-up hoodie, and black jeans, "You're taking too long"
Victor froze, not expecting one of the kids to barge in like this.
Hydrus on the other hand knew Kevin well. Still with a towel on his waist, Hydrus walked in front of the pouting pup, kneeling to his height, "Sorry sweetie, I'll be out and ready in a few minutes. Can you ask Masamune to prepare the car, we're riding your favorite today"
"You mean the 'Shadow'?." Kevin had a knack for naming things. He was the one who named Mr. Creepy.
"Yes, the 'Shadow'." That was the name for his black beast of a car.
"YAAAAYY" Kevin ran out of the room, with his weird plushy flapping like a flag behind him.
He turned to get some clothes from his wardrobe, ignoring the slightly stunned Victor.
Waking up from his daze, Victor turned back to his husband, "What was that?"
"Nothing" Hydrus didn't look back for his reply, he found some blue jeans, and a white shirt with a thunderbolt inside a star.
Victor joined him borrowing a pair of black sweat pants, and a crimson red tank top, no underwear, he likes going commando, "When a kid barges in on two naked guys, you don't call that nothing"
With a sigh, Hydrus finished dressing and turned to Victor with a blank expression, "Let's just say that his childhood was fill with enough naked guys to last a life time"
Victor looked back wide eyed at his mat, with his ears pinned back on his head "Oh"
Victor decided to join the two for their shopping trip.
Mega Core Station.
One of the biggest mole in the city, containing four floors including the ground floor. The ground floor was for simple shops with a variety of different types of shops. The first floor was for clothes and accessories. The second was for video games and toy shops. The third was for an open arcade and restaurants.
Hydrus was walking with Kevin and Victor, holding the young pup's hand.
They were walking through the toy shops and video game stores one by one, Victor was bumping playfully into Hydrus from time to time, which earned him a waist hold, and a peck on the cheek.
The other two were oblivious to their surroundings, but Hydrus noticed the disgusted hateful eyes from some people around them.
It was in the fifth toy shop that someone acted upon those hateful emotions, "Excuse me, could you not do this, there are kids here"
Hydrus an Victor turned to a female cheetah, her clothes resembling those of an old lady's, despite her middle aged look.
"Stop doing what?" Hydrus asked with sarcasm, but his hidden anger was slowly rising.
"This disgusting behaviour, you could corrupt the children's minds with your 'flirting'."
Victor turned to her with a raised brow, "For your information, we are not flirting" He turned to Hydrus, giving him a light peck on the cheek, "We're already married"
"You're lying" She stated angrily, her hands on her hips, "Your kind shouldn't be married"
And just to spite her, Hydrus pulled Victor to him, mashing their lips together, luckily the children in the store were busy browsing.
He made sure they were on his right side, holding Victor's face with his ringed hand.
Before she could say anything, Kevin bounded over to them, bumping Hydrus' leg with a big box in his hand, it was a big toy, a plastic model kit of a space shuttle, "Daddy can I have this?"
Their kiss long ended before Kevin jumped in, "Sure sweetie, but don't you already have this model?"
"No, the other one smaller and red, this one is bigger and green with blue wings"
Hydrus rolled his eyes with a smile, "Okay hon, come on" and they went to the cashier leaving the cheetah lady to her anger.
The cashier was looking like a new guy, "Hello sirs, how can I help you?" he said that a little to professionally, giving brief glances to the cheetah, who was giving him signals, telling him not to serve them.
Hydrus almost laughed at their attempt to be secretive, he knew those tricks to all too well.
"Listen kid, you look like a good guy, so I'll make you a deal" he lowered his glasses to reveal his eyes, with a whisper only the cashier can hear, "You do this for us, and you can keep your job"
The cashier-a young looking raccoon- gulped loudly, fear running through his body at the sight of those eyes.
Much to the cheetah's disappointment, they bought the shuttle and left the store, and making their way to the parking lot.
Kevin pulled Hydrus' hand suddenly, "Daddy look!" he was pointing to a weird store, it looked like a souvenir shop.
Victor took Kevin's other hand, "Okay little guy, let's go" They made their way to the place, with Hydrus feeling a sligth strangeness coming from that shop.
The trio entered the store, a bell ringing on the door indicating the presence of potential customers.
Hydrus then figured out the weird feeling he got from the store.
He could sense the magic flowing around the place.
It was a magical artifact shop.
And despite it being slightly smaller than the other stores, the place had everything: scepters, staffs, wands, pendants, magic seals, and Hydrus' favorite: magic grimoires and spell tomes.
A cobra wearing a crimson red robe greeted them, "Greetings my friends, it's great to see some new faces, and your child is with you"
The pup strode up to the browsing counter, "Hi, I'm Kevin"
"Hello little Kevin, you like magic?" he lifted his arms wiggling his fingers as if casting a spell.
"Mmm hmm, daddy likes magic too, he taught all I know about magic, but he never taught me how to cast any yet"
Hydrus was thinking of changing that, he needed to train his kids in other ways of self defense, besides martial arts.
"Okay, and since you're a first customer, your first item will be free"
"YAAAYY" and he was almost dashing around the place, browsing different things.
Hydrus barely could keep up with him, "Careful Kevin, don't break anything"
They began browsing the place, even Victor.
After a few minutes, each found an item of their liking.
Hydrus found two books, one was what he thought a elven magic grimoire, it was green with a green wood and moss design, with a silver rose embedded in the middle, with a leaf tipped bookmark, and a necromantic potion recipe book, which was black with a silver growling demonic skull, with red jewels for eyes.
Victor got a sceptre, it was made of granite, with golden and blue trims, it's head was a small mace shaped with different colored glowing stones embedded on it.
Kevin got another grimoire, his was white and yellow, with a rainbow colored star, which was shining with a different specter of a rainbow every few seconds embedded in the middle, a rainbow colored stone tied to a white bookmark.
"Okay my friends, let me just get you some bags" he turned to Hydrus, "As for you sir, you need to choose one of those books to pay for"
Hydrus just shrugged, "Fair enough" and he chose to pay for the elven grimoire, "Kevin, could you wait outside? Daddy will be done soon"
Kevin nodded and left, making his way to the car. The parking lot was big and wide, but at this time for some reason, it was almost empty.
He was leaning on the car, playing with his plushy.
"Hey kid!" a gruff voice called for him.
Kevin looked up and found a group of four men surrounding him, a boar, a bull, a rottweiler and a cheetah, who suspiciously resembled the lady at the store.
The cheetah was the one who called him, "Your kind are not welcome"
Kevin wasn't stupid, he knew of those kinds of people, "Daddy told me not to talk to strangers" he was calm for some reason, still playing with Creepy.
"Oh yeah?" the boar, grabbed plushy and slammed the kid to the car, "Well daddy is about to be without the son.
Hydrus gave a side glance noticing the thugs 'bullying' his son, but turned back to the cobra ringing them up, with one thought on his mind.
'Idiots'
The rott grabbed the toy from the boars hands, "What's up with this creepy thing?"
Kevin was smiling as he replied, "That's Mr. Creepy, daddy made him for my birthday"
"Oh really" he put the scary doll to Kevin's face, "I'm a scary dolly, my owner is a twerpy brat, with two faggots for daddies" electing a laugh from the others.
"You shouldn't do that, Mr. Creepy will be very angry"
"Oh yeah, what's this queer toy gonna do?"
Kevin simply pointed at the plushy.
Just as it turned its head to the rott.
After bagging their stuff, and paying for their purchase, Hydrus and Victor went to join Kevin at the car.
Strangely those 'bullies' were nowhere to be seen.
Victor knelt to the kid, "Ready to head home?"
Kevin nodded with a wide smile.
The group got into the car and drove off, just as the cheetah lady left the store, grumbling about how faggots and queers are taking over.
"Where is he? He should be waiting outside" she asked herself looking for her son.
After pulling her phone out she called his phone.
After a few minutes, his phone was ringing from nearby.
It was coming from some bushes nearby, flanked by trees.
"What is he doing there? And why is he not picking up?"
She walked over to the ringing phone, reaching a little deeper inside the small forest.
She found the phone on the ground.
As she picked it up, a drop of a red fluid dropped on the phones head.
She looked up at the source of the strange liquid.
Her eyes widened in horror, and fell on her butt.
Four people hanging from the trees in pieces, that were nailed randomly to the trees and logs nearby, bodies mutilated, shredded, torn, and skinned,with the heads of a boar, a rott, a bull, and her son's, hanging from trees in a fashion forcing them to look straight forward with their dead glazed eyes.
'AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH'
Back at Hydrus' car, Hydrus looked in the rear view mirror back at his son, focusing on the plushy.
And on the piece of yellow fur stuck on its cotton filled 'claws'.
In a local cafe, overlooking the central park.
A human boy, about 17 was sitting alone, slowly sipping his coffee, looking at his phone frequently, as if waiting for someone.
"Where is he?"
"Toby"
He lifted his head to find a white tiger waving at him and making his way to his table, "You're late Ron...again" he crossed his arms with irritation.
"Sorry babe, traffic was a killer today, looks like some super-villain attack or something similar" he was panting lightly, as if he was running all the way, "So? Ready to go?"
"Sure" Toby stood up and paid for his coffee before walking outside with his boyfriend.
He didn't know how lucky he got, the captain of the football team in his highschool, the fit tiger beside him was like an iron wall on the field, and he was his, the slim geek, with the straight A grades, but was still was able to make some friends, although the fact that he was an open gay made it even more easier to make friends.
It was almost noon, so the sun wasn't shining that much. As the couple walked, a figure was following them, but Tyler noticed them, in an attempt to not raise suspicion: he pulled Ron beside him, forcing him to walk slightly faster.
Then another figure appeared in front of them, forcing Toby to pull his boyfriend to a nearby alley.
The alley was narrow but still had an exit on the other side.
Which was blocked by three others.
The two figures behind them blocked their way back.
"Well, well...what do we have here? Two faggots walking on our turf?" one of the thugs- a bear- called out, "How about it boys? Teach these two fairies not to come where they are not welcome" just as the group produced different weaponry, one even held a bloodied bat with nails hammered roughly and randomly to it, making it look like a make-shift mace.
Toby was thinking of a way out of this mess, "Ron, I'll create a distraction while you get out of here and call for help....Ron?"
His boyfriend was nowhere to be found, he somehow managed to slip past the two behind them.
They were going to follow before the bear, looked like the leader of the group, called out to them, "Leave him, he won't speak. Besides, we already have the one who _didn't_get away"
Toby was about to act, but a heavy punch to the face sent him face first to the ground.
The group began beating him up hard and in different places, his ribs broke in, his spine almost snapped, his face became a bloodied mess.
'How could he do this to me, weren't we supposed to be together forever!?' those were his thoughts about his coward of a boyfriend as he was sinking into darkness, but he wasn't going to have that luxury yet.
The leader bear grabbed the spiked bat from one of the group, a hyena, leaving the best for last in his opinion.
He kicked the human boy, so he was laying on his back , and with a foot on his chest, the bear lifted the bat high preparing to strike.
'It's now or never!' Toby's hand gave a faint glow unnoticed by the group.
*WHAM*
The bear went flying forward and into one of the other thugs, and the bat flying further away.
Tyler looked up at his savior.
It was a black furred jackal, with a white egyptian styled tattoo under his left eye, his dark brown hair styled into dreadlocks, wearing a black t-shirt that was hugging his wide strong figure, and a pair of blue jeans.
Toby forgot the others instantly, focusing on the jackal, he was bigger and buffer than Ron, and had that air of dominance and authority about him.
Toby was fighting an untimely erection, getting a hard-on in a time like this was not something anyone would like.
"Who the fuck are you!?" The leader got up retrieving the bat.
"Someone who despises cowards like you, ganging up on others like a pack of mindless ferals" Tyler shuddered slightly at the deep voice of the big guy above him.
"We'll show you feral!! Get him boys" the thugs rushed at him, weapons ready to strike.
The jackal dodged two, and blocked the remaining, swiping their weapons, two normal bats, from their hands before spinning them in his hands, and cracking their skulls hard with two simultaneous strikes to the head.
The two behind him regained their balance, and rushed again.
The mysterious martial artist, dodged one, and slammed his fist in his stomach, the guy groaning in agony on the floor, the other guy received a swift but hard fist to his face, literally smashing his canine muzzle in.
Before the bear could join in, the jackal grabbed the groaning man on the floor- a young lion- from the back of his head.
He lifted the guy up facing the others.
Then the next thing that happened would scare the thugs for life.
The jackal's irises began glowing a pale green, just as eerie, ominous energy with the same color began swirling around the feline.
Everyone around them began looking in horror, the lions body began to dry up slowly, his muscle, skin and flesh, all began disintegrating slowly within, his face becoming dehydrated, before finally his body was left looking like a naked mummy.
The thugs and their leader looked over with fear, one of them- a fox- pissed his pants, as the jackal let the body drop to the floor, and it disappearing in a small cloud of dust.
All that was left of the lion was his clothes and belongings.
He took one step forward.
Just as the thugs all scrambled to their feet in a hurry to get away from the demon in jackal's skin.
Tyler was scared shitless from what just happened, but his gratitude to the stranger outweighed it easily, he was not raised to be an ungrateful brat, and saving his life was something not easily rewarded, "Th-thank you" was all he managed to speak out.
The jackal turned to him, and he noticed that his eyes were the same pale green like the strange aura he saw, "You're welcome young one" and with that he began walking out of the alley.
Tyler stood up quickly, "Wait, can...can I at least have your name?"
The big man didn't turn his back, but replied with simply, "Nobu"
Toby managed to take a cab to a local hospital to treat his bruises and cuts.
The big jackal- Nobu was it?- was on his mind all the time, even when he stood at the door of his house.
He went inside, "Mom, dad, I'm home!"
A human woman peaked her head from the kitchen, "Welcome back dear, why are you home earl-" she then noticed the bandages, "Oh god honey, what happened!?"
Toby was thinking of telling her something else, but he couldn't lie to his mother, she could smell a lie from miles, "I...was attack....on the streets"
"WHAT!? By who, and wasn't Ron with you?"
Hearing the name of his boy- EX-boyfriend- would usually straighten his mood, but now the very thought of the tiger boiled his blood.
"The bastard ran away the first chance he got, left me to fend for myself"
"He did what!?"
The two turned to the rough angry voice, that belonged to a middle grey furred wolf.
Before either of them could say anything, the wolf went over to the door, grabbing his coat on the way.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"To give the little coward a piece of my mind. No one leaves my loving son to the dogs and gets away with it" and before they could stop him, the door slammed hard. Tyler could have sworn he saw a crack in the door frame.
He turned with a nervous expression to his mother.
She simply shrugged before replying, "You know your father, no one can stop him when he sets his mind on doing something"
Back in the Loneblood residence.
Nobu Joined his master at the small library.
Hydrus arrived a few minutes before Nobu came back, leaving Victor and Kevin to build his model, he retreated to his den to check on the books they bought, the sceptre was placed in a wall hanger in the lounge, the books were placed at the desk, which had a water jug and a glass filled some water.
Hydrus turned to Nobu, before raising an eyebrow, "Where did you get the tat Nobu?"
The big jackal lightly tapped the tattoo he had on under his eye, "Oh, this is not a tattoo master, just a mark I had painted by a friend, it's permanent paint"
"Cool" Hydrus returned to the three books they bought from that magic shop.
Nobu sensed their power too, "Where did you get those master, if you don't mind me asking?"
"A small shop at the mall this morning, never noticed it until Kevin pointed it out" Hydrus was reading through the book that Kevin bought, it had a few smaller book marks within the pages, all with different single colors that separated each chapter.
The book seemed like an encyclopedia about different element attributed creatures, nothing magical about it, just some strange writing that Hydrus was familiar, right bellow the small paragraphs that describe the creatures on each page.
"Water elemental: Sprite? What is this book master?"
Hydrus' left eye twitched once at the realization, him being a fast reader tended to miss the fine writing, he inspected it again and found what Nobu noticed.
He was at the blue chapter, and the mentioned page was about a flowting creature shaped like a water droplet with small 'wings' at the bottom of its body and black 'pills' for eyes.
The writing describing the Water Sprite were written in perfect english, The what were the strange writings at the bottom?
A light bulb lit in his head. Well it's worth a try.
Hydrus held the book in one hand and raised the other forward, "Oxes..Niom..Dercia!!"
Nothing happened.
But after a few seconds, the water in the jug began bubbling.
Hydrus and Nobu stepped back a little.
Then the water splashed up, but didn't fall to the ground, instead it began swirling to form two crossing rings, orbiting around a small creature shaped like a water droplet.
The small wisp turned to the two, "Guppi"
"Hydrus regarded the creature then the portrait in the book, doing so a few more time for confirmation, "So that's what this book was" he was looking at the creature in front of them with some wonder.
Nobu on the other hand, was still lost, "Master?"
Hydrus turned to him, showing him the page of the Water Sprite, "This book is not just an encyclopedia, it's a grimoire concentrating on only summoning spells, the encyclopedia part was just there to tell the reader more about the creatures, so that they would know about the creature they would summon and how to deal with them"
The water sprite floated in front of Nobu's muzzle, making happy sounds as it flew around the two, "So how do you dismiss them?"
"Simple" Hydrus closed the book shut.
*SPLASH*
The floor where the creature was floating became wet with the same water used to summon it.
Nobu seemed to understand so he went to his next question "What about all the colors making the books theme?"
"The colors would indicate the elements each 'chapter' of creatures belong to. Like just now: we summoned a water creature from the blue chapter, that means that blue refers to water"
The jackal nodded in understanding, before regarding the other two books, "And the other two?"
"The green one is for Elven magic, and the other is for dark, cursed and necromantic potion recipes"
Hydrus took the potion cook book this time, and began going through its contents.
Nobu bowed to him briefly, "Then I shall leave you to your experiments master, if you need anything you can call for me"
Hydrus just waved his hands at him, heavily concentrating on the book in his hands.
After Nobu left, the glass orb in his study glowed indicating a call.
He laid the book on the desk and tapped the orb twice.
The glowed dampened and began forming an image.
It cleared to reveal a wolf with a dark sandy fur with a white under-color going in a line starting from the inside of his ears, drawn in a straight thin line his bottom muzzle, with the white coating his inner fur, his eyes were black with honey colored irises.
Hydrus was smiling at the wolf, but a sense of deep dread filled for some reason, "Hi mom"
"Hi sweetie, how are you and your family?"
"All is great thanks, to what do I owe this pleasure?"
His 'mother' made a nervous expression, mixed with some worry, "Oh it's nothing....just a little favor"
"Yeeeees?"
"Well, your great grandfather had found some Purifiers loitering around the realm of Maddea, he thinks that they have a base of operations there"
Hydrus expression darkened at the name.
The Purifies were a bunch of religious fanatics who had magic and technology on their side.
Ever since the Netherbeasts came to the Earthland realm, those morons were on them like fleas on shit. Trying to drive them out, using every method known to man.
The bigger problem is that they can travel through realms like the Netherbeasts can But even with all this power, they still lost to the Beasts.
But Hydrus had to commend them on their stubbornness.
"Alright mom, I'll go there as soon as I can"
The wolf' face lit up, "Oh goody, your father will send you the coordinates, where you will meet your brothers"
*SKKKRRRRRRRTTT* *CRASH*
"My...brothers?"
"Yyyeeeesss" that worry expression came back. Tenfold.
"Mom..you really expect me to work with my brothers on this? It's like you're asking me to melt all of the North Pole: doable....but the results will be, dare I say...catastrophic"
"Come on honey. For me?" puppy dog eyes.
*sigh* "Fine, but don't blame me if the whole realm gets blown of the dimensional map"
"Oh thank you sweet heart, you should expect the coordinates some time tomorrow. Bye now, love sweetie"
"Love you too, mom" the image shimmered, then disappeared.
He got up from his desk, and left the study mumbling, "Great, juuuust great, he expects me to work with three people who hate me probably more than the grim reaper himself"
He headed to the living room, to watch some TV to calm himself, and found that Victor and Kevin have moved their model building operations there.
"Hey you two, looks like you're halfway done"
They turned to him and Victor replied, "Sure are babe, didn't know this could be fun"
"Cool, I'll just sit here and watch some TV" he sat at the couch and turned the TV on, it was on the news channel, with a black furred ferret as a news anchor.
"At the front of the courthouse, a large number of people gathered to hear the mayor speak about the sudden fluctuations in crime, where crime seemed to increase one day, only to either decrease or disappear the a few days later, we have Ms. Tally Hops live at the scene"
The screen shifted to the courthouse, where a short haired human woman holding a microphone spoke to the camera, "Thank you Tommy, I'm here at the courthouse, where there seems to be a lot more people than we anticipated..Oh, here comes the mayor now"
The camera again shifted towards the makeshift stage. A tall black wolf followed by a brown furred jackal and a yellow furred tabby cat, stood in front of the many speakers.
Hydrus felt a small degree of pride, which grew with the passing minutes seeing his friend at the podium.
Terrance Mynx, A long time friend of Hydrus and his family. The Lonebloods and the Mynxes were friends for generations, some would even argue that the two families were the founders of their city years ago, with the Mynxes being the leaders to the public and the Lonebloods worked behind the scene to keep the city safe.
Mynx cleared his throat before addressing the people, "My good citizens, it is a greet honor to stand here before you all, I noticed that in these few days that the crime rate has been increasing, but I will tell you this now, there is no need to be afraid, we have our more than able police force working alongside both the S.H.A and the White Aurora, we can all feel safe when those three factions work together to keep us safe"
"If they weren't working under you we would be safer!!"
The camera, along with everybody shifted towards the rude intruder.
An elderly looking wolf was walking up the podium pushing security aside, as the mayor signaled them to back off.
The wolf's face was very furry and messy, from afar he could be mistaken for a scottish terrier.
He stood in front of the mayor, "If your kind were the ones leading them, then I can assure you we won't be safe"
Mynx just fixed him with a blank expression, "And you are? Also what you mean by our kind?"
"I am Richard Monte, a priest trying his best to deliver gods words to this forsaken city, but if you are the mayor then this place is doomed, doomed I tell you. As for your kind, you know what I'm talking about you big fairy"
A round of loud gasps sounded through the screen, even the reporter was stunned. Either this guy is stupid or brave, talking to the mayor like this meant time in prison.
*C-r-rack*
Victor and Kevin turned to find the remote snapped in half in Hydrus' hand, with his powers covering his body in black rage.
Hydrus blood was boiling at the guy, knowing him as one thing.
The leader of the Purifiers.
Incidentally, one of his sons works for Hydrus in the Fenrir branch.
Maybe he could fire the guy for having such a father.
No that would be too unfair. Besides the kid was quite nice and open-minded unlike his family.
But despite being ridiculed, the mayor remained strong and stood his ground, "If you're trying to defame me, then you're doing a bad job at it, besides I'm already out to the world, and the people who do prefer me as mayor are the ones clever enough to see the good effort I put in making Atlus the greatest city there is"
A wide smile then appeared on his face, "And thank you for reminding me" Mynx took the cat's hands and pulled him to himself, replacing his hand on the tabby's waist, "Ladies and gentlemen, I wanted to get the opportunity that this conference provided to introduce you to my lover: Raiden Suzume"
The crowd roared in cheers, cameras were flashing all around them, and just as the old wolf wanted to do something, the jackal signaled the security to escort the guy away.
Mynx gave his boyfriend a brief kiss before addressing the crowd again, "I wanted all the people to see that love has no boundaries such as gender or social status, if you love someone and they love you back, then there is no force in the universe that can stop either of you" He spread his arms wide for emphasis, "Love my dear friends, is only the first step to making this city, not only the greatest in the pacific, but in the whole world" And with that he ended his speech with a small peck to his boyfriend's head.
The conference went on for a little while, the reporters seemed to find his sexual preference more important than the crime rate, asking him question about how he met the cat and how their relationship could affect their life, all the while Mynx had his kitty close to him, letting him answer a few questions.
Hydrus suspected that he worked as a board member in some business before or such, because he was answering his questions like a professional.
'Way to go Terry' Hydrus was very proud and happy for his friend, finally finding someone to share his life with.
But just as he was going to turn the TV off, the screen shifted back to the news station, where the news anchor was receiving some papers.
His eyes widened briefly before addressing the viewers again, "Ladies and gentlemen, urgent news. We have just received word that the twin brother and sister villains/master thieves calling themselves Hansel and Gretel, have escaped the Alliances holding facilities, we would like to advise you on keeping a close eye on your valuables and most importantly, your families, those two by the Alliances words, are not above killing to get what they want"
While he was talking a picture of two wolverines showed behind him, Hydrus knew the two, real names are Toby and Matelda Swayne, formerly belonging to a wealthy family, before all of its members went bankrupt, forcing the twins and most of the family into a life of crime.
Hydrus has helped the Alliance in capturing the two, but since it was an Alliance mission, they were arrested by them.
His phone began ringing, he immediately took the call, "Simon?"
"If you took the call this quick then I can assume the news have reached you"
"It sure did, I'm coming over now actually"
"Good, I was going to ask you to. The Alliance called, asking for our help again"
Hydrus' left eye twitched twice, "Fine, but this time, both organizations work alone, make sure they get that"
"Already told them sir"
"Good, also call some of our appointments for next week, tell them they can come over, no point in going and sitting idly in my office if I can't get some work done"
"Ok sir, I'll make the calls as soon as possibel"
"Alright see that you do" *click*
Hydrus sent a telepathic message to Nobu to join him, thinking he might need the jackal this time.
Back at Toby's house.
His father, Steven, came back fuming, having talked to the tiger's parents, calling their son a coward who doesn't deserve to be loved, and that his so called built body was nothing more than a show of manhood.
He didn't even give them a chance to reply, he just yelled, growled and snarled at them, then after finishing his tirade, he left them with a warning, telling them that if he saw or smelt the sissy anywhere near his boy, he's going to be the next ingredient in his wife's stew, finally slamming the door in their snout.
How did Toby know all this?
Well, his father tends to be a little too loud when angry.
And his ex's house was three houses away.
And Steven told him when he came back.
His mother on the other hand came into the kitchen where the two were sitting in silence, with a wide smile on her face, "Good news boys"
They turned to her with confusion on their faces.
"The White Aurora organization called just now. They said that due to some crisis, they will be working this weekend, and will accept appointments and meetings with people as well"
Steven's face lit up at the news, "That's great, we can go now and meet Mr. Loneblood"
Toby on the other hand just groaned with irritation, "Do we have to. I told mom I got control of my powers"
His mother turned to him with an unimpressed expression, "Like how you blew up our last oven?"
Toby sunk back in his seat.
His father put a hand on his shoulder with a worried voice, "Toby it's for your own good, we know that you want to keep your powers, that's why we are going to the Aurora instead of the Alliance"
Toby looked between his parents back and forth, it was true he wanted to keep his powers, that's why he didn't want to go to either organization.
He didn't know much about the White Aurora, but the Alliance had some kind of technology that would strip a guy of his powers if he had any.
"Why there dad?"
Because unlike the Alliance who would prefer to take away your abilities, the Aurora encourages the person to embrace his, telling the people that they are gifts and an extension of our very selves, so why would we take away a part of you like that, when you can learn so much from it, maybe even become a hero someday"
Toby was deep in thought, he didn't think of it that way, yes he could become a hero and protect the weak and innocent, and prevent what happened to him today from happening to anyone else.
He almost jumped from his seat with a determined expression, "What are we waiting for then?"
Toby and his parents arrived at the Fenrir branch a few minutes later.
Them and a few others were waiting at the reception area, which painfully resembled that of a hospital's.
He was looking around at the variety of people there.
He found a kid, a white weasel, about 10 years old, he looked to be sick.
The kid began drawing some deep breaths.
'Ahh...ahh.ahhhh.....AH-CHOOO!"
The reception area got caught in a very small and brief tornado, sending everything that wasn't nailed to the ground flying everywhere.
After the harsh winds calmed down, the woman got up apologizing to everyone.
Just then the intercom called, "Mr and Mrs. Parker. Mr. Loneblood will see you now"
They got up from their seats and followed a young skunk guy, wearing the Fenrir uniform.
A few minutes later, they knocked on the boss's office doors.
"Come in"
They opened the door and went in, with Toby right behind his parents.
When his parents made way for him, his eyes widened in surprise at what he saw.
Nobu, the jackal that saved him, was standing beside a human wearing black glasses, wearing an Egyptian outfit.
Toby was very familiar with folklore, occult and ancient cultures, so upon seeing Nobu he thought of one thing.
'I was saved by an egyptian god of the dead........Awesome'
