Howl of the Wolf

[Pyra the Dragon Master]

This fanfic is another collaboration I?m doing, and the partner in question is named VL Trunks. It?s an F-Zero fanfic, and it?s mostly based around his F-Zero character, Saito Azaki. The only reason that I got pulled into it was because he had read my other fanfics on other boards and asked me to bring his ideas to life. Most of these are characters that we created, but we do include the original racers from the games to, heh, have fun and help move the plot along. There are also lyrics scattered throughout the story since he felt it was better to put them in to help with the mood. Not my style, but hey, it?s mostly his fanfic, not mine. Hope you enjoy!

Howl of the Wolf​

​

By: Pyra and VL Trunks

Prologue​

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to the top I stop
At the core, I?ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The pictures there
The memory won?t escape me

A small 4-year-old boy walked down the street, he was dressed in ragged clothing with sunglasses far too big for him on his forehead. He had spiky red hair and many cuts were on his face. He had no one to go to, nowhere to live, and he was constantly being whipped by the Bloody Chain Gang. Michael Chain thinks he can push him around. He slowly looked into the sun, which was setting fast. Rain started to fall from the sky. Mute City was horrible. Across the street he saw a man getting robbed, he saw people fighting and many other bad things. He shut his eyes and crawled into the ally, hoping he would never see this evil place again.

We?re stuck in a place so dark you can hardly see
The manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight with the powers that be
And duck away into the darkness
Time?s up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut so tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it?s dark again

He tried to remember his family in his dreams, but they were forgotten.

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to the top I stop
At the core, I?ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The pictures there
The memory won?t escape me,
But why should I care?
In the memory you?ll find me Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

He woke up a little dizzy and stumbled into another alley. This one made him nauseous. He was right near a chemical lab! He ran out of the alley and lifted his head up to see a yellow light coming from a TV. A man sat there watching it. He turned away and hopped into a machine that wasn?t moving, took out a crumbled out piece of paper, and began to write about what had happened to him. Then he slowly fell asleep.

Listen to the sound
Dizzy from the ups and downs
I?m nauseated by the polluted rock that?s all around
Watching the wheels of the cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long shadow it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out a yellow light as it passes me by
And a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rocks with antennas on top, now
Nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And while the inside changes
The box stays the same and the figure inside could bare anyone?s name
The memories I keep from a time like then
I put on my paper so I can come back to them
Someday I?m hoping to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumbled up paper can be perfect again

In a snow-covered forest, a lone wolf emerged from the trees. He smelled a human. He turned and saw a small boy with red hair lying in the snow. It knew that in a few minutes, he would be dead. The wolf scooped him up and carried him away.

Yo, from the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I?ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture?s there
The memory won?t escape me

I?m here at this podium talking
The ceremonial offerings dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What?s happening?
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants
Causing urban collapse
And bullets that scar souls with dark holes
Get more than your car stole, some parts be blacker than charcoal, for real
This society?s deprivation depends now on our differences but the separation within
No preparation is made
Limited aid, minimum wage
Living in a tenement cage where rent isn't paid
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like a permanent plague
I'm the forgotten

In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Chapter 1

Captain Douglas Jay Falcon pulled up to the Mute City Caf?. He carefully parked Blue Falcon and walked inside. As soon as Falcon walked in he noticed a familiar racer dressed in a green dinosaur suit. Falcon recognized him as Christopher Annex, Beastman. He sat next to Beastman at the bar.

?Something wrong??

?No, I?m just looking for clues? Rumors have it that a wolf has been sighted in this city,? Beastman said drinking his beer.

?A wolf?? Falcon said suspiciously.

He looked around at the customers, and then he noticed a person he never saw before. The person appeared to be a human male about 14 years old. He wore a black trench coat with black sweat pants, something seemed to point out of his jacket, but he didn?t know what it was. Something seemed to move near his leg but he was too far away to tell what it was, he had spiky red hair that curled at his forehead. No one could see his eyes because he wore dark red sunglasses. He quietly drank a beer, Falcon thought about telling him to stop drinking cause he looked too young. Then two well-known F-Zero racers walked up to the boy. One was Billy, the pilot of Mad Wolf, and the other was Pico, the pilot of Wild Goose.

?You owe me money boy,? Billy growled showing of his primate muscles.

?I don?t owe you anything,? the boy said calmly.

Billy growled and stepped foreword, Pico held him back.

?You give my money you filthy human!?

?Take a bath stinking ape!? the kid smirked.

Billy?s primate rage went loose! He wildly smashed the table out of the way and lunged at him. The kid stood up thrust kicked him into the wall. Billy jumped at him but the kid whipped around and pointed something at him, a long Chinese Broadsword was pointed at Billy?s neck. Pico raised a gun at him.

?Krypto!?

At the boys command a dangerous looking wolf lunged on top of Pico knocking him to the ground.

Beastman shot up and got into his fighting stance. Falcon pointed his gun at the boy and fired. Surprisingly the kid dodged like it was moving in slow motion. The kid and the wolf dashed out the door and jumped into a red F-Zero machine.

MAX SPEED ON

The machine jetted away and was gone.

Chapter 2​

In the streets of Mute City, three F-Zero machines were parked near the gym, each showing the logo of the Galactic Federation. The machines were Jody Summer?s White Cat, John Tanaka?s Wonder Wasp, and Lily Flyer?s Bunny Flash. Inside the gym, Jody was working on acrobatics while John worked on his martial arts. Lily however read a book. John looked over at her and smiled.

?Hey bookworm, come over here and spar me!?

?No way!? Lily said.

John always teased her because she was the youngest of the group. Only 14 and she races in F-Zero! She sighs and goes back to her book.

?John leave her alone,? Jody said.

Lily continued to read, but suddenly she heard a noise like glass shattering! She turned around to see a red F-Zero machine crash through the window! It hit the wall and stopped moving. The cockpit opened to reveal a 14-year-old boy wearing red sunglasses. He carried a brown sack over his shoulder; a broadsword was strapped to his back. John drew his gun and moved forward. The kid crescent kicked the gun out of his hand and thrust kicked him to the wall. Jody ran toward John, but a vicious looking wolf pinned her. Lily ran toward him with her gun and fired! But the kid drew his broadsword, slashed the bullets, and pinned her like the wolf pinned Jody. He aimed the blade to her neck; he was ready for the kill. But then he froze and stared right into her frighten eyes. Something strange came over him, he felt warm inside. He then got off her whistled and he and the wolf hopped into the machine and took off! Lily stared at the direction the machine was going. Whoever the kid was she had to follow him! She hopped into her machine and raced off after him. She wondered what was that boy doing with that bag and why didn?t he hurt her. Jody got up and helped John to his feat. He wasn?t hurt, just a little bruised. Jody noticed the red F-Zero machine disappeared. Not just that but Lily was missing too!

?Lily! John where is she??

?After are little friend,? John said.

Out of all the machines there, Lily?s Bunny Flash was missing. Lily continued to drive after the red machine. Soon she suddenly lost it on her radar.

?**** it!? she snorted.

She checked the map again; it was gone. Lily decided to park her vehicle and traveled on foot. As she stuck her head out of the cockpit, she shivered. She was very far away from Mute City, in a forest that was snowing. She got out of her machine and decided to search on foot. Lily couldn?t see anything in the heavy snow. She climbed into a tree to get a better view. Suddenly she heard footsteps below her. She looked down to see the boy she was chasing and the wolf that was with him.

?Well Krypto, we got a lot of food this time, hopefully the pack will be impressed.?

The wolf gave a low growl followed by a low bark.

?What do you mean we were delayed? Just because we crashed into that gym and ran into the Feds doesn?t mean it?s my fault, and what do you mean I like that girl, I don?t know why I didn?t attack her.?

The wolf made a snorted growl.

?Yeah, she was cute though.? He said.

They continued to walk until they reached a clearing of snow and trees. The boy made a high whistle, so high that only a dog could hear it. Krypto let out a howl. Then a wolf appeared out of the trees. It barked and more wolves appeared, then right behind the adult wolves were the soft whining of little wolf puppies as they appeared and jumped on the kid licking his face. Lily had to smile as she thought all the babies were cute. Then the babies started to whimper. The boy emptied the bag on his shoulder to reveal many pieces of meat. The babies began to eat them. The boy smiled, but then he sniffed the air, so did the rest of the wolves. He slowly placed his hand on the handle of his sword. Then at lightning speed, he whipped around slashed the tree behind him, the same tree Lily was in! The tree began to shake then it fell! Lily jumped out of it, landing on her knees! BAAAAMM!!!!! The tree went down.

?Ahh!!!?

Lily looked at her knees. They were bleeding! The wolves smelled blood and moved in. Then the boy held his hand up and the wolves stopped. He walked up and placed his sword in its scabbard. Despite the fact that he was but a young child, Saito was one fierce fighter.

?What are you doing here?? he snarled.

?I was following you, you thief,? Lily said angrily.

The boy placed his hand on the sword. Then a light appeared in front of them, the light of a F-Zero racer! The machine looked like a light red bird. Then a man wearing a visor and a white cape came out and dashed toward the kid. The boy growled and drew his sword, but man flipped over him and kicked him! With a groan from the hit, Saito aimed a slash at him, but the new fighter ducked and uppercutted him! The wolves dash toward him, but he tossed something at them, a stun bomb! It knocked out all the wolves, but Krypto! Krypto jumped on him and kept on biting his hand, and then he grabbed a tranquilizer dart and tossed it at Krypto! The wolf fell asleep, and then he tossed one at the kid?s feet. The gas began to numb his senses and cloud his mind. He needed to fight, but the strength left him and he fell over as well. Then the fighter saw the kid?s red F-Zero machine and tossed a remote on it. After picking up the wolf and kid and placing them inside his car, he jetted off. Lily hopped inside Bunny Flash and followed him. She still had questions for this kid.

Chapter 3​

Falcon walked down the corridor of the Internova Police Station the following afternoon. He had just finished a race and heard that with the help of Phoenix, the Galactic Federation had captured that boy from the caf?. He ran into Jody, John, and Lily in front of the interrogation room. Inside sat the kid and Phoenix. The time detective walked around the room and asked the kid a question.

?Who are you??

?Where?s Krypto??

Phoenix looked at him strangely.

?Who is Krypto??

?The wolf, jackass, the wolf!? the kid growled.

Phoenix walked at him and grinned.

?So you really care for that dog? Well, better listen up? If you don?t answer my question, I will put him to sleep??

Jody gasped and Falcon clenched his fist. He couldn?t believe Phoenix would do such a thing! The kid was furious and slammed his fists on the table!

?YOU WOULDN?T DARE!!!!!!?

Phoenix smiled.

?And just what are you going to do about it??

The detective regretted those words as the boy jumped off the chair and landed on the table. With amazing animal like speed, the kid tackled the detective and punched him 5 times in a row. Phoenix kicked him off, but the kid rebounded off the wall right into Phoenix, punching him viciously as he snarled. Jody winced at each blow Phoenix was getting.

?Isn?t he supposed to interrogate the kid?? she whimpered as the time detective was slammed into the observation window.

?Seems like the kid is interrogating Phoenix,? Falcon whispered as he was being amused with the fact that Phoenix was getting beaten by a boy who wasn?t even half his age.

The kid, panting like a wild animal stopped attacking Phoenix when he saw the he had done enough damage. Then he calmed down and spoke.

?I will answer your questions, if you promise not to hurt Krypto,? he said quietly.

Phoenix, a little shaky, agreed.

?My name is Saito Azaki,? the boy began. ?I am 14 years old. I grew up in Mute City during the times when the Bloody Chain had a lot of members. One day, I found myself in a wolf den. The wolves treated me like a member of their pack and I became one of them. Soon the hunt turned bad, and thousands of cubs starved to death. So me and Krypto, the wolf who raised me, decided to go into the city to get money for food.?

As soon as the interrogation was over, Saito and Krypto walked straight past the group, Lily could see the anger burning in those red eyes. They slowly walked out the door and were gone.

In The Year Of The Wolf,
All the world smelled good,
In the snow and the ice,
All the rest was blood,
In the time of the tribe,
We took a thousand lives,
When I ran with the wolves,
And the hunting was good,

See me now, I was another,
Not like me, when the wolves were brothers,
See me now, you cannot know,
The kind of food that me grow,

It was the wolf in me,
Body and soul on fire,
In the cold, full moon,
Blood, red, desire,
It was the wolf in me,
You know it felt so true,
The night I ran with the wolves,
Tonight I come for you,

In The Year Of The Wolf,
How could you ever know,
There in the forest,
I had teeth to show,
In a different time,
When the world was mine,
When I ran as a wolf,
And the sun burned low,

See me now, I was another,
Mean and vicious, fast and clever,
I see me now, you would not dream,
The food I ate, the food that screamed,

It was the wolf in me,
And all my soul was fire,
By the cold, dull moon,
Blood, red, desire,
It was the wolf in me,
I howled the cold night through,
The year I ran as a wolf,
Tonight the food is you,

In The Year Of The Wolf,
All the tribe ran mad,
On the frozen lake,
And I felt so glad,
With tooth and claw,
All your blood and more,
When I ran with the wolves,
And the hunt turned bad,

See me now, this is not me,
Not like the one, I used to be,
See me now, you would not guess,
A different heart raving in my chest,

It was the wolf in me,
When the world was cold,
It was the life I lived,
In the dark world below,
It was the wolf in me,
Crying and howling too,
I was crying for the hunt,
But I was hunting for you?

Chapter 4​

Jessie cruised in on her cycle and stopped by the station to see what her brother was up to since he had promised her to take her to the beach that afternoon, where Draco and his friends were hanging out. She had left her vehicle, Silver Falconite, back at home since her brother wanted to upgrade her systems a bit. As she went in, she found her brother staring at a very beaten Phoenix.

?Hey, what happened?? she asked surprisingly as she ran over. ?I can never leave you two alone, can I? Did you guys get into another fight again??

Phoenix got up unsteadily and settled on a nearby chair with her help.

?Would you believe that someone else beat him up for a change?? Falcon asked.

The lieutenant was not too pleased with her brother?s reply.

?Who would dare hit an officer??

?Apparently, a boy raised by wolves,? Jody replied.

?A boy raised by wolves? Jody, this is Mute City, not Green Plant, Space Plant, or Devil?s Forest? There are no wolves running wild here except in the ones in the city zoo.?

?That?s what you think,? her brother replied. ?Unfortunately, this kid?s got himself a wolf and is not afraid to use it??

?Well, he?s locked away, right??

?You wish,? the time detective replied. ?That kid almost beat me to a bloody pulp during interrogation! He?s actually worse than your brother when he?s drunk??

Falcon shot the detective a death glare, but quickly turned away before his temper rose too far.

?Phoenix, how many times have I told you that you can?t always use force to get information you want??

?But the boy was hostile!?

?You mean he seemed hostile,? came Lily?s voice from behind. ?He was only trying to get food for his pack??

Jessie surveyed the wounds and called for Dr. Stewart. She turned to the time detective after she put her communicator away.

?You still have the tape of the interrogation?? she asked as she stretched a bit.


She was still sore from that afternoon?s chase.

?Yes, Lt. Falcon?? Phoenix groaned as he carefully removed his helmet. ?I?m sure Officer Illusion has it? After all, he is in charge of the recorded media and stuff??

?Illusion?s not here,? Jody pointed out. ?He said he was meeting someone at the beach??

?The beach!? the lieutenant cried out. ?Falcon! You promised to take me to the beach today!!!?

?Ok, ok!? he mumbled. ?Just what was Draco planning anyway??

?I don?t know, but he says to just drop me off and then he?ll drop me back home so you don?t have to drive back out.?

?And when is this party till?? he asked as they walked out of the station and Phoenix was being treated by Dr. Stewart.

?He says that I?ll be home before 10,? she replied as she revved her patrol cycle and tightened her chinstrap.

?Uh-huh? Like the last time you went to his home in Sand Ocean for a pool party while I was out hunting??

?But you said I could! Besides, it was Illusion?s birthday, remember???

?Oh yeah??

The siblings began to pull out of the garage and stopped at the first light. Falcon glared at his sister and gave her a smirk. Jessie only smirked back as she knew what was going to happen next. As soon as the lights turned green, both of them popped a wheelie and raced for the beach. Jessie laughed as she saw her brother dodge through the heavy traffic, as this was the time of day when traffic was really bad and almost every street was jammed. She found a sidewalk and ran on it as she caught up with her brother. Luckily, there was no one walking and those who saw quickly moved out of the way when they heard the engines. Everyone in the city knew of their antics and didn?t stop them for it. Everyday, at least somewhere in Mute City, the Falcon siblings were racing from Galactic Federation HQ, either by cycle or by F-Zero machine. Falcon leaned his cycle backwards and ran up a ramp to fly over a semi blocking a main street. Jessie saw this and quickly headed right and into an alley. From there, even though it was a dead end, she pulled on a throttle in front of her and boosted up the side of the buildings, only to come crashing down next to the captain. She had installed a miniature version of an F-Zero booster to her cycle, along with her brother?s, to aide in the high speed pursuits off the tracks and since it was smaller, it allowed them to easily overtake anyone in the city, unless there was a risk factor with on-looking civilians or rubberneckers. Falcon gasped and almost crashed into a parking meter, but he quickly swerved it and raced after his laughing sister. This way and that, they dodged, ducked, and sped through the dead traffic until they were at the bridge. Here, it was all clear and there was nothing to stop them. They slowed down to a halt at the beginning of the bridge. Falcon gave the thumbs-up while Jessie only nodded in reply and revved their engines. They both nodded and shot down the empty lanes at max speed. Neither was going to let up or let the other win. Saito watched from the sidewalk as they zipped by at nearly impossible speeds for regular cycles.

?Wonder where they?re going in such a hurry??? he wondered as Krypto walked beside him. ?Think we should follow them??

Krypto whined and nudged him in the direction the two racers were heading.

?Yeah, maybe they?re going to hurt the wolves??

Saito began to sprint along side his wolf brother. They weren?t going as fast as the machines the racers were on, but it was enough to keep them within his sights. He ran up a hill and watched as the two speeding vehicles went off the main road and headed for the coast. He slid down the hill and ran as fast as he could. With this wolf-life speed in his blood, it was nearly impossible for the two unknowing racers to lose their mysterious tracker.

Chapter 5​

Falcon and Jessie continued down the path until they reached Toyon Bay, where the others were waiting. Meta and Night Owl were in the water with their sister, Aerial, while Illusion was getting the food out of the cooler. Draco stood with his back facing the road, staring at the open sea. His dragon wings made a silhouette in the sand that stretched towards the main road while his tail lay limply on the ground. It was beautiful and as the sun sank into the waters. The sky was red towards the sun and turned to pink then blue then purple as it touched the mountains. Illusion walked over and rested his hand on the prince?s shoulder.

?You ok?? the officer asked.

?Yeah?? Draco sighed. ?Just wondering if she?ll make it? I mean, her brother still doesn?t like me??

?Nah? Just give him time to open up.?

Just then, they heard a thud as the two cycles landed in the sand and skidded to a halt. Jessie sprinted off her cycle and into Draco?s arms.

?Draco!? she giggled as she ran into him and both tumbled into the sand. ?Sorry I?m late!?

Draco only smiled as he held her tightly and kissed her on the cheek, but the smile wore off when he saw her brother glaring at him, his feet tapping the sand. He quickly got up and walked over with Jessie under his wings.

?Err? I promise I?ll bring her home around 10,? the prince said respectfully. ?And I promise she will not be harmed.?

?Good, because if I find even one scrape on her, you will be held responsible, Falconi?? Falcon warned as he revved his engines again. ?I?ll see you later tonight, ok, Jessie??

?Will do, captain!? she sweetly chirped from under Draco?s wing.

Falcon nodded and sped off toward the Port Town Warp Gate. No sooner had he disappeared from view did Jessie disappear from Draco?s wings. The prince frantically looked around, but found her helping herself to some food after she had taken off her uniform to reveal a silvery blue one-piece. Her dark tapered wings were wide-open thanks to a hole she had cut out on the back and gently fluttered in the breeze. Illusion already knew about this, but didn?t tell anyone else. He thought it was best if no one else outside the group knew about her ?condition.? Jessie didn?t have time for lunch all day. She had been busy chasing down several robbers who had decided to break into one of the jewelry stores on Scots Ave. She sat on the warm sand, stretched her wings, and began to snack down while Draco poured her a cup of soda. She smiled as he sat next to her and began to massage her back. He was surprised at how hard and knotted her back was despite the soft feathers.

?What did you do, go weight training with the Fat Shark?? he asked jokingly.

Everyone knew that the Don Genie?s Fat Shark was the heaviest vehicle to be registered under the Academy database next to Black Shadow?s Black Bull.

?Of course not!? she replied after swallowing a gulp of soda. ?Those robbers decided to give me a run for my money, but, boy, were they wrong!?

?I assume you flew after them??

?No, I ran after them and they decided to gang up on me!?

?Could?ve been worse??

?It wasn?t really that bad since I basically rocketed them into the air and then sent them into the wall?? she explained as she popped a few chips into her mouth. ?But what?s really weird is that there was a boy that Phoenix caught earlier, but the boy beat him up. At first I thought it was my brother who did it, but even Jody and Lily said it was the boy.?

?A boy, huh? How much trouble could he be??

?Apparently, he has a pet wolf and used it to attack 2 other racers at the Mute City Caf? the other day. Falcon was there with Beastman and saw it happen.?

?I could guess what your brother was doing there, but what was Beastman doing there??

?He heard that there was a wolf in the city and was going to chase it down.?

?You mean that wolf boy?? Illusion asked.

He couldn?t help but overhear the conversation. The twins and their sister came up to shore and dried themselves around the bonfire. Jessie smiled as Aerial gave a sigh when she saw that she was not the only girl here.

?Yeah,? the lieutenant continued as she moved her hair away from the prince?s moving hands. ?When I arrived, Phoenix was literally beaten up and looked worse than a bruised peach??

?Now that?s a picture worth seeing!? Night Owl laughed as he speared a few marshmallows to toast over the flames. ?I can see the headlines: ?The Famous Time Detective Beaten by a Kid and His Pet Wolf!??

?Night Owl!? Aerial exclaimed. ?You should be ashamed of yourself! Teasing a great detective like him!?

?Aerial, just because you like him doesn?t mean that I can?t make fun of him.?

The human dove huffed as her older eagle brother took her to the other side of the fire. Jessie sighed as she drained her remaining soda and leaned against the prince. It had been a while since she could finally get this close to him without her brother watching. Suddenly, Draco turned around and looked toward the direction of the cooler as he held on tightly to his girl. Jessie felt a chill as he sniffed the air and growled quietly. The other also stayed quiet as they watched the dragon prince?s every move. There was only one other time that the lieutenant felt this and that was when they were in Whiteland for a getaway trip. He slowly moved Jessie into Illusion?s arms and silently reached for his blade. Never once had he been someplace without it, and to not have it made him feel unsafe despite his power. Without another moment, he leaped over to the cooler, but got a pair of jaws snap right in his face. Draco quickly vaulted backward off the cooler and pointed to the shore as he held his stance. Illusion grabbed Jessie by the arm while the twins rushed their sister to the water?s edge. A raging wolf snarled and snapped as the prince approached it warily from a distance. The wolf was about to jump when it heard its human brother?s whistle. A strange figure seemed to materialize out of nowhere and held an unmistakable broadsword. Draco snorted when he saw the attacker.

Chapter 6​

Jessie gasped as the wolf settled at its master?s feet obediently, but continued to stare at Draco. The prince looked over the boy carefully.

?What do you want?? the prince snapped.

?Why does it matter to you??

Draco gave a low warning growl.

?What are you doing stalking us? You are not invited.?

?Who says I was? I?m just here for the food? I couldn?t help but notice that you have extra??

?So what if we do? You have no right to take it!?

?I need it? My pack needs it! If they don?t have food, the pups will starve!?

?I don?t care if a pod of whales needs the food! It isn?t yours and you will not steal it!?

?Then it seems I have no choice but to take it from you by force!?

?Over my dead body!?

?Then so be it!?

Saito looked at his wolf.

?Krypto, attack!?

The animal quickly got up and lunged for the prince, but Jessie was quicker and caught the wolf?s gaping jaws with her bare hands. The two tumbled in the sand while Draco and the newcomer dashed for each other. Back and forth, with each clash, sparks flew and illuminated their dark faces for a few seconds. Then the sparks would die, only to be replaced with another set that flew into the air as the blades scraped against each other. Sand flew as they dug in to hold their positions and to keep from falling. Draco grinned as he pushed his weight into the attack and leaped back.

?So what?s the name of one who has a wolf and wields a sword so well?? the prince inquired as he flared his wings to catch himself from falling.

His tail lashed the sands as a challenge of strength to the stranger. Being born and raised in Sand Ocean, the beach was considered his advantage.

?My name is Saito Azaki, and that is my pet, Krypto!? the boy shouted as he let off a war howl. ?What be the name of my opponent with broad wings??

?I am Draco Falconi, protector of the girl your wolf is hurting!?

In a rage of fury, Draco turned into a blur and, with his dark wings and the dark of the night on his side, became a deadly and powerful opponent. The sword was poised and ready to strike. Saito gripped his blade tightly, closed his eyes, waited, and listened.

?What is he doing?? Aerial whimpered.

?An old technique of finding a hidden opponent?? Illusion whispered. ?When you close your eyes, it?s easier to hear your opponents??

Saito could hear the girl and wolf snarling and screeching not too far from them. Jessie was putting up a fight that not even a wolf could survive if she had attacked it full on. He could tell that she had once been trained as a weapon of war. He could hear the flapping of Draco?s leathery wings, but he could not pinpoint where the prince was. Draco unfurled his wings and aimed for the boy?s sword arm, but the Saito quickly leaped away and landed near the fire, Draco just barely missing him and hitting the sand instead. His shadow was cast on the prince as they stood there face to face. Illusion pulled out his gun, but Draco put up his hand to stop the officer. He had not fought like this in a long time and to do it now was just enough to put him into a great mood.

?So, you?re the first to dodge my stealth attack,? the prince chuckled with a satisfied smile. ?Almost everyone has fallen when I use that??

?But not everyone has the blood of a wolf running in his veins?? Saito replied as he reached for a blazing branch from the fire and threw it the prince?s direction.

The branch had found its mark, but the prince just stood there, only laughing as the wood continued to burn into ashes at his feet. The fire, although it had touched his skin, didn?t do anything to him except to leave a burned stain. Startled, Saito stepped back a few paces. He had underestimated his foe and began to feel helpless. Draco began to advance while the boy leaped back further.

?And not everyone here has the blood of dragons, Saito??

The boy, seeing that he was running out of options, whistled for his wolf and stood just outside the bonfire?s circle of light. Jessie got up and stood next to the prince. Her feathers were messed up and there were a few scratches from the wolf?s claws. She could see in the boy?s eyes that he was just trying to help his family, whether they were human or not. She watched as he ran into the darkness. She looked at Draco and then at the cooler. The prince knew what she was thinking and checked what was left. Indeed, there was more than enough since the twins had bought an extra one with them. She smiled and flew after the wolf and the boy.

Chapter 7​

?Saito!? she called out. ?Hey! Wait up!?

The boy continued to run, but Jessie went into a stoop. Her tapered wings allowed her to dive at high speeds and within a few seconds, she was standing in front of him. The wolf snarled and was about to leap at her until she held up her hands in peace. The boy stopped his pet and looked at her warily, yet perplexed.

?What do you want?? he asked, a hint of sadness in his voice as he buried his face into the wolf?s coarse fur. ?Don?t you see I want to be left alone??

?Saito, I just want to say sorry, ok??

?Sorry? For what? You didn?t do anything?? he sniffled. ?It was that dragon boy who did the most damage? I was trying to get some food for the pups back home? Without it, they?ll die??

?I understand, but you can?t steal things, ok??

?But people don?t understand me? They treat me as though I was an outcast, a freak with a wolf as a companion??

?Saito, I was like that once,? she confessed as she knelt down to see eye to eye with the boy. ?But you have to learn that there are different ways to get things you need.?

?You? But you had that dragon boy as your protector. It was like he knew what was your problem??

?You mean Draco? Even he still has a lot to learn? Look, I?ll give you the food if you promise not to steal again??

?But what if we run out? There are many pups in my pack.?

?You will have to ration it until you find a legitimate way to get food? Until then, you can?t just take what you want or need??

?Thank you, miss??

?Just wait here while I go find my friend, ok??

Saito nodded while Krypto sat at his feet. He had never felt someone care for him like this before. For all he knew and learned in this world when the Bloody Chain Gang had control of Mute City, before the Federation finally rid them from the place, he had never put his trust in anyone before, not even the police. But this was different? This girl? It was like she knew what was going on? But how?? How did she know what he was going through? Did she go through something that was similar to him? Within a few minutes, Krypto raised his head to the sky and snarled. Saito held his wolf close as two figures landed in front of them. It was Jessie and Draco, and between them was an ice chest. Saito walked closer and opened it. His face beamed as he saw the large amount of food staring back at him. This was enough to last them for a week. He looked up at Jessie and smiled for the first time in a long time.

?Thank you,? he whispered as he tried his best to keep back the tears. ?You don?t know how much this means to me??

?Don?t sweat it, ok?? the prince replied. ?After all, I must say, that was one of the best matches I had ever. If you ever catch me around town, why don?t we spar again sometime??

?You mean it??

?Why would I be kidding??

?It?s just the way you acted??

?Well, I do have to protect Jessie? If I don?t, I could get in really big trouble with her brother??

?So, you think you need help with the chest?? the lieutenant asked.

?No, I think Krypto and I can manage from here,? Saito replied as he loaded the box on the wolf?s shoulders. ?Besides, they don?t greet strangers friendlily??

?Just be careful, ok, Saito? There are still people in Mute City who might capture you, especially certain members of the Galaxy Police??

?Don?t worry, miss. I?m more crafty than I seem??

With that, the boy and his wolf, along with the box, disappeared into the woods. Jessie took to the sky with her friend following closely. He glanced at her wings then at her arms. He almost tumbled out of the air when he saw a gash that went from her shoulder to her wrist.

?AW MAN!!!? he shouted. ?YOUR BRO?S GONNA TOTALLY KILL ME NOW!!!?

?Calm down, Draco?? she cooed as she flew beside him and kissed his cheek lightly. ?I?ll explain everything, ok??

?Yeah, like he?ll believe you??

?Trust me?? she giggled with a wink. ?He will!?

They flew back to the beach while Saito and Krypto arrived at the part of the forest they called home. It was quiet and it seemed to always snow here regardless of the seasons, as though it were enchanted. A mystery hung over the place as the two stood in a small clearing. The boy gave a high whistle while Krypto let out a howl. For a few moments, there was nothing but silence until they heard a twig snapped. A lone wolf appeared out of the trees and stood still as it made eye contact with Krypto. The two wolves howled in unison and then the lone barked. More began to appear from their hiding places, each unique in appearance and abilities. The pack gathered around the two. Saito looked to his right, where the females and their young were hiding. The puppies appeared from under their mothers? legs and jumped on to the kid, licking his face as they were excited about his return. These were his brothers and sisters and he treated them as such. The older females were regarded as wise while the younger ones were the caretakers. The older males were also regarded as wise while the younger ones were the hunters. The youngsters began to whimper and the boy opened the chest. He pulled out a pouch to reveal several large pieces of raw meat. The pups yipped happily and began to pounce on their share of the food. As soon as everyone had been fed, Saito looked into the chest. The girl was right. There was enough food here to last them a week, but when they ran out, he had to find another source. The wolves and seasonal hunters were overhunting the game on the mountain. He had to find one and needed it soon before the next breeding season came, when the females would mate and have more pups? Then, there would not be enough food and the young ones would survive their first winter. He had to find another source, but where??

It would be nice if I had a little feedback so I can improve it if it sounds bad... ^^;

Chapter 8​

Saito sat in a tree watching to guard the wolves as they slept. Krypto lay on the branch Saito was on and quietly gave a happy growl as the food settled comfortably in his stomach. The boy looked toward the area where the puppies were with their mothers. He smiled as he saw all of the little ones sleep. He looked up at the moon and reached for something in his pocket, a recorder. He closed his eyes, placed the small instrument in his mouth, and began to play.

Many nights we?ve prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there is much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

He remembered how nice that girl had been. ?Jessie? was what the dragon boy, Draco, called her? Saito said he wouldn?t steal again, but he had to if he was going to find more food before the mating season. He continued to play the woodwind instrument calmly, its soft sound seeming to relax his tired soul and weary mind.

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It is hard to kill

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

Far away in Mute City, Jody Summer quietly looked at the moon, wondering about the kid that attacked Phoenix, Saito. She wondered about who he was. What was his purpose?? She didn?t quite understand it. That look he gave them, the look of a raging wolf? It made her shudder just thinking of it. She sighed, but then she heard something strange. It sounded like a flute coming from the distance, a very beautiful sound that seemed to echo with a lonely ambiance. She thought it was coming from the direction of the forest Lily followed Saito in.

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I?m standing here
With heart so full
I can?t explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I?d say

Inside the building Jody was in, Lily prepared to sleep. As she climbed into bed and pulled up the cover, she too thought about Saito and wondered why he didn?t hurt her when he had the chance. She had heard from Jessie that the boy had been spotted near the beach, but the lieutenant never finished because she had to go quickly. Jody knocked on the door softly.

?Who is it?? Lily asked.

?It?s Jody.?

?Come in??

?You ok?? the captain asked as she stepped into the girl?s room.

?Yeah, just thinking about something??

?Hmm? You might want to come hear this? There?s a beautiful song coming from the mountains? Come on, you can here it from the balcony.?

Lily agreed and went out to the balcony with her superior. As she watched the hills, she heard the beautiful sound of a flute in the distance.

?Who can play such a sad and beautiful song?? she wondered.

She thought it came from the forest she followed Saito in.

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It is hard to kill

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

Saito looked at his wolf, peacefully lying on the branch with its feet dangling.

?I know we promised that girl we wouldn?t steal,? the boy said as he scratched his wolf behind the ears. ?But we need to if the puppies are gonna survive the first winter.?

Krypto nodded and replied with a low growl.

?Yeah I know about mating season, too?? the boy replied. ?We have to find another source for food, but where??

Then the wind blew with it was a piece of paper. Saito caught it with his hand and glanced at it. It had a picture of Blue Falcon and Fire Stingray racing each other.

?COME ALL TO THE F-ZERO AMATURE CHALLENGE!!!? the flyer read in large bold letters. ?THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE 1,000,000 SPACE CREDITS!!! ALL AMATURE PILOTS SIGN UP AT THE F-ZERO ACADAMY FOR YOUR SHOT AT A GRAND PRIX AND PRIZE MONEY!!!

Saito couldn?t believe it.

?1,000,000 space credits just for one race?? he gasped as he read the line again. ?With that money we could buy a lifetime?s worth of food!!!?

They don?t always happen when you ask
And it?s easy to give in to your fears
But when you?re blinded by your pain
Can?t see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says hope is very near

?Krypto if we enter and win this race, we will be able to save the pack!? Saito yelled with joy.

Krypto yipped with happiness. The two brothers jumped out of the tree. Saito flipped in the air several times while Krypto joined at his heels. Then, Saito stopped and remembered something, his machine! That detective still had it. He smiled evilly and bent down knelt down near Krypto.

?Alright buddy, we?ll enter, but first we need to get our machine back.?

The wolf barked in agreement and the two began to run for Mute City.

There can be miracles

Chapter 9​

The Falcon siblings were racing again, but this time, their goal was the casino on the other side of town. They were sporting their F-Zero machines for a little demonstration they were going to have later on as a promotion for the Amateur Challenge race. Falcon drove in his Blue Falcon while Jessie followed closely in her Silver Falconite. They had gotten word from Illusion that Phoenix was going to be auctioning off a new F-Zero machine, so they had to check it out for themselves. Jessie tagged along because she knew that wherever Illusion was going, Draco was sure to be there. They parked their vehicles and walked inside. Jessie decided to jump on her brother to tease him a bit, but for a reward, he caught her by the waist and carried her in on his shoulder. As they stepped through the glass doors, Falcon dropped his sister on the floor and looked. Nearly ever single racer was there! Jessie, slightly sore due to the fall, ran to Draco and took her seat next to him while Falcon simply stood against a pillar and watched Draco closely. Phoenix stood in front of a podium and gave a long speech. Falcon yawned and was beginning to get bored. Suddenly, the cover was pulled off and the car was revealed. It was bright red. Falcon growled. It was Saito?s car and Phoenix was going to sell it! As the bidding was about to begin, the car?s engines roared alive and the machine moved a bit. Everyone was surprised and gasped. The slowly cockpit opened to reveal a familiar 14-year-old boy with red hair and a timber wolf by his side. It was Saito!

?Sold to the good-looking boy with red hair!? Falcon laughed.

Jessie, along with several other pilots, stood up and shouted. Phoenix ran up to the vehicle.

?Get out of there!? the detective shouted.

Saito only grinned.

?Say goodbye to our friend, Krypto.?

Krypto leaned his head out the window and belched right in Phoenix?s face. The detective fell backwards from the foul odor. Saito closed the cockpit and jetted off over Silver Neelsen, who had a seizure as soon as the vehicle flew over the audience. Saito grinned happily while Krypto barked as the red vehicle zoomed into the forest.

?We did it!? he shouted as they raced.

He pulled out the paper again and read the date. He had at least 3 months to get ready for this race, and even though it was an Amateur?s Challenge, he knew that there was going to be a lot of competition, even if the best of the best were not going to be there?

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It?s hard to kill

Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It?s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe


You will when you believe?

Chapter 10​

Phoenix and several other officers tried to chase the stolen vehicle, but they had lost it as soon as they passed the bridge. Having squandered a chance to cut down the competition, Phoenix headed back to Time Patrol HQ to take his mind off what had happened and to do some time chasing. Falcon, Jessie, Draco, and Illusion stepped outside as the others began to leave. The lieutenant and captain quickly ran to the garage and pulled out to the front of the casino to show off their vehicles to those who wanted to participate in the Amateur?s Challenge, but the only thing they could talk about during the whole demonstration was how the boy actually ?stole? his vehicle back from a time detective as they signed autographs for all their fans and visitors.

?So, the boy got his vehicle back,? Falcon chuckled as he was signing an autograph for a young fan. ?Think he?s going to compete? Here you go??

The boy giggled with glee as he ran back to his mother and waited in line for the lieutenant?s signature.

?Yeah, seems that way,? Illusion replied as he was standing guard, checking his PDA for alerts, and signing pictures at the same time. ?That kid seemed pretty determined??

?Well, he did say that he needs food for his pack,? Jessie pointed out while she signed the young boy?s autograph book and smiled for a camera the boy?s mother had as several older guys tried to offer her a flower. ?Here?s your book!?

?Thanks!? the boy replied as he slipped past the young men and into his father?s arms.

Draco saw the flower gesture, but quickly turned away to keep his temper from rising.

?His pack?? her bro asked as he held a pose while standing on Blue Falcon for a photographer. ?That boy has a pack??

Draco nodded as he glared at a few other guys who were trying to force through the crowd to take a shot at his girl. Just then, he saw a young child squeeze through the men, waddled to the barricade, and held up her autograph book to him.

?Sign?? she asked in a tiny, shy voice.

The prince grinned and carefully took the small book in his claws. He knelt down and wrote against his knee. The girl gasped as she saw how big he was in person and waited patiently.

?Yeah, we gave a cooler of food to him, but that will only last about a week if he rations it correctly,? the prince said as he shot a few death glances after returning the booklet to the fan with his signature.

?Seems the boy has his intentions straight,? Illusion said as he signed a few autographs for the waiting crowd. ?He might as well use that money to save his pack.?

?I know what you mean,? Jessie replied as she posed with her brother back to back with their firearms in hand for a newspaper reporter and photographer from Shotgun magazine. ?But if he does intend to do that, won?t it threaten Mute City with an overpopulation of wolves??

?We?ll just have to wait and see, sis,? her brother replied after someone took a shot of him flexing his muscles.

?I guess you?re right?? came a soft sigh as another fan came up and took a picture of her and Draco together.

As soon as the demonstration was over and everything was cleaned up after a few last minute signings, the siblings cruised home while the officer headed back to HQ and Draco went to his home on Sand Ocean. The following morning, the Academy lobby was filled to capacity as racers lined up to register for the F-Zero Amateur?s Challenge. Falcon and Jessie watched from the Arrows? office on the third floor as the new pilots below were registering their names and vehicles. Jessie left the window and helped herself to a cup of juice.

?Seems like there?s going to be a lot of racers?? she sighed after she drained her cup as soon as she filled it.

?True, but they have been divided into several groups and is done in tournament style,? Super Arrow replied as his wife, Monique, set a cup of coffee before him. ?You need not worry about a crowded course. Besides, it will take place during two week?s time.?

?I don?t think that?s what she?s talking about,? her brother replied. ?I think what she means is that Black Shadow?s men might be in the race??

?I know what you mean, but when they sign up, they race,? Mrs. Arrow sighed as she refilled Jessie?s empty cup. ?We can?t discriminate them for that??

Jessie peered out the window again and spied a familiar redhead. It was Saito and he was at the front desk. She watched as he received a packet from the receptionist and left swiftly. After registration was over, the siblings decided to head off to Green Plant for a 2-week vacation and then coming back for the race.

Chapter 11​

Training was tough for every pilot that was going to be in the race. Everyone was doing their best to train as they took time to run the course several times and work on their techniques. However, one racer took a different approach to training and disappeared for two months. The red-hot sun of Sand Ocean burned like the flames of Fire Field? It was amazing that Draco called this place home, but despite the dry air and scalding heat, Saito trudged through the sands with his broadsword in hand. He wore a blue sleeveless shirt with black sweats. He had left his sunglasses in the cockpit of his F-Zero racer, which still had no name. His trusty companion Krypto walked aside him carrying a pack on his back. Saito stopped moving and looked at his wolf, which sat in the sand. Saito opened the pack and pulled out a desert-style poncho. He put it on and drew his broadsword. He watched as the sun?s rays reflected off the blade. Saito took a samurai style stance and began to shadow box through the desert. As he practiced he noticed a person watching him, it was a 16-year-old girl wearing Arabic style clothing. She walked up to him and bent over to see eye to eye with him.

?Hello, kid, are you lost?? she asked.

Krypto growled, but Saito stretched out his hand to calm him down and he looked at her.

?No,? he panted, tired from his training.

She slowly moved her arms into her pockets and took out a knife. Saito quickly shot into his fighting stance, but several armed men surrounded him. Krypto lunged at one of them, knocking them to the ground. Saito slashed the weapons out of their hands. The woman laughed and jumped inside of a F-Zero machine known as ?Spark Moon.? Princia Ramode had a challenge. Saito whistled and on his command, his red F-Zero machine appeared out of nowhere. The two machines took off! Saito watched as the machine passed him. This woman wasn?t going to give up. He boosted until he was right next to her. She tried to side attack him, but Saito fought back! The two machines grinded against each other and the race became tougher. Saito realized that his energy was low, and they had fought all the way into a sand storm! Saito pushed her away from him and jetted into the wind. The afterburners seemed to make an image of a wolf and Princia drove straight into it, right into a sand twister! Saito smirked and jetted off far from the area, hoping to get some relief after that sudden clash at the nearest outpost.

Chapter 12​

Jessie was visiting Draco in Sand Ocean while her brother was off hunting again when she heard from Illusion that Saito had not been seen for two months and that there was something weird going on in their vicinity. Jessie pulled on an Arabian-style cloak and secured her visors tightly against her face while Draco got his father?s dragons ready. As soon as she had finished putting on the lotion on her bare arms and legs, the prince and his girlfriend left his home and rode on his dragons, Pearl for Jessie and Black Fang for himself. Brushfyre also jumped on for a ride on Black Fang. They rode the swirling sands and updrafts, but as they scanned everywhere, they found nothing suspicious. Deciding to stop by town to let their rides rest and to have lunch together, they rode to Tinny Quarry, a city shielded from the sandstorms by high cliff edges a few kilometers away from the Lateral Shift course. No sooner did they land did they hear the familiar screeches of Meta and his twin brother, Night Owl. She ran over to greet them, but the twins were busy trying to shake the sand out of every possible hiding place. She laughed as they shook like dogs.

?What did you do, fly through a sand trap?? she giggled as she watched them preen their feathers.

?No, we came to see Draco, but his parents said that he left with you, so we tailed you,? Meta replied as they walked toward the nearest shop.

?Well, Illusion said that he had gotten reports that there was something weird going on here?? she said as she removed her outer garments to reveal a lithe girl wearing a tank top and shorts. ?We scanned most of the areas, but found nothing.?

?Weird,? the owl mused. ?Wonder if there?s something wrong with the scanners??

Just then, Lily and Jody showed up at the door. Jessie looked up and smiled.

?Lily? Jody?? she greeted with a salute.

The two returned the gesture and sat down with the group.

?What brings you here?? Meta asked as they looked at the menu.

?Well, we just decided to come here to get away from the city a bit?? Jody sighed.

?Actually, I came to see you, Miss Jessie?? Lily whispered.

?Lily, is there something wrong?? the lieutenant asked.

?May I speak with you in private??

?Sure, how about we take this outside??

Lily nodded while Jessie kissed Draco on the cheek.

?Don?t take long, ok?? he whispered.

?I won?t.?

The two girls left the table and found a quiet little area in the lobby near the fountain.

?Is something the matter, Lily?? Jessie asked.

?Miss Jessie?? she began. ?You know how your brother said that the wolf boy attacked Tanaka, Jody, and I while we were in the gym??

?Yes, he said that you followed the attacker to the woods??

?It?s the boy? For an odd reason, he attacked both of my superiors but he didn?t attack me??

?He attacked Jody and Tanaka, but left you alone? This is quite odd??

?I?m sort of afraid right now??

?About the boy??

?Yes? I don?t know, but I have this feeling that he likes me??

?Hmm? You should be careful, Lily? I don?t want you getting hurt??

?That?s why I came to you, lieutenant. You have Prince Falconi as your boyfriend? I was hoping maybe you could help me??

Jessie smiled and rested her hand on the girl?s knee.

?Lily, just because I have Draco doesn?t mean I know everything. How about this? If you feel that you need to talk to me about anything regarding that boy, just swing by my office or give me a ring? I?ll do what I can, ok??

Lily nodded and held Jessie in a hug. The lieutenant chuckled softly as she let go and the two went back to their table of friends. Draco?s face beamed at the sight of Jessie.

?What was that about?? he asked as the food was served.

?Nothing,? Jessie replied with a smile. ?Just a little girl talk??

?Lily, I have to head back to HQ now,? the captain said as she got up. ?Seems like we have some problems back in Mute City??

?Don?t worry,? the girl chirped. ?I?ll be fine now.?

They saluted one another and the White Cat disappeared into the warp gate. Lily sat down and watched as the twins and the red dragon dug into their servings. Jessie cut her sandwich in two and handed one to her.

?No use in coming here and leaving on an empty stomach,? Draco pointed out as he poured some ketchup on his fries.

Lily smiled and took the sandwich. As they ate, Brushfyre tried to steal a fry or two from its master?s plate, but was always caught. Jessie giggled and shared some of hers with the little dragon and Lily. After a few moments, Night Owl decided to liven up the mood.

?Hey, remember that wolf boy?? he asked as he stole a fry from his brother?s plate.

?What about him?? Jessie asked.

?I still can?t see how he got into his machine before Phoenix had the chance to start the auction.?

?Maybe he has some weird mystical powers that only a wolf would have?? Meta snickered.

Night Owl pulled out two lettuce leaves from Jessie?s salad bowl and placed them on his head like wolf ears. Brushfyre giggled as the owl stood on the table.

?Ooh?? he howled. ?I am the mighty Saito! I challenge you to a sword match for your food, Draco!?

Draco almost choked on a bite as he saw the very boy they were teasing walking through the door. He was wearing a poncho to keep out the sand and his sword stuck out from the corner obviously. The wolf was at his heels, being the loyal dog it was. Jessie tackled the owl off the table and pinned him to the ground. Night Owl wrestled with the lieutenant.

?What are you doing?!? he grunted as he tried to buck her off. ?I was just kidding!?

?Well, for a joke, it would?ve been a good one if the person in question wasn?t here!? she hissed.

?What?! He?s here?!?

Jessie nodded and held Night Owl in a headlock as she slowly allowed him to peek over the table. Sure enough, there was Saito and his wolf, Krypto, ordering something at the counter. Lily made herself scarce by hiding behind Meta while Draco got ready for anything. He remembered the last time they had fought and it was a good one. He wondered if they were going to fight again. Saito paid for his order and turned around to find a seat. As he scanned the place, his eyes fell on the dragon prince. Draco could feel his eyes on him as he pretended not to notice the wolf boy. He walked over and tapped Draco on his shoulder.

?Hey, how?s it going?? Saito asked as Krypto quietly stood beside him. ?What are you doing here??

?Question is, where were you the last two months?? Jessie asked from below after pulling away the greens off Night Owl?s head. ?The Academy?s been trying to reach you to confirm some things??

?Oh, I already did that? Thanks for the heads up though. Anyway, just what are you guys doing here??

?The twins and I were visiting Draco.?

?And I live here in Sand Ocean, Saito?? Draco replied, trying not to make eye contact with the boy.

Krypto spied the dragon on the table and growled. Brushfyre, its peeve was being bothered while it ate, blew a tiny flame at the wolf as a warning. The dog whimpered slightly, but stood back up and stared at Draco.

?We heard that there was something odd going about, so we scouted around, but found nothing,? Jessie continued.

?Oh? What sort of odd thing??

?No clue,? Jessie replied after she sat down and took a bite of her food.

They ate quietly while Lily still hid behind Meta. She softly tugged on his wing to get his attention.

?Yes?? the eagle whispered.

?Think you can get me to my vehicle without him knowing??

?Yeah, but I?ll have to carry you??

Lily agreed, and while Saito went to go refill his cup and Krypto?s water dish, Meta delicately and carefully held Lily around the waist with his talons and covered her with his wings like a cape. He walked for the door and set Lily near her Bunny Flash.

?Where are you headed now??

?I?m going back to HQ?? she said as the windshield pulled away. ?Being in the same room as Saito sort of scares me? Can you tell the lieutenant thank you again??

?Sure. Just be careful, ok??

The girl nodded and disappeared into the warp gate. As the eagle walked back in, he could see that Saito and Draco were about to go at each other again. Their pets also seems like they were going for each other?s throats. He quickly got between the two and used his wings to hold them at a distance. Jessie whimpered slightly in the arms of Night Owl.

?Ok, just what are you two doing?? Meta inquired as the whole diner was staring at them.

?This guy just insulted my girl!? Draco roared.

?Insulted?!? Saito barked. ?I was just commenting how nice she was!?

?Oh, so saying that she could charm any boy and have her pick instead of me was complimenting?! I THINK NOT!?

?Whoa, Draco,? Meta calmed as he held the prince?s shoulders. ?Dude, just let it go, ok? He?s just a young kid, ok??

?A little too young for his own good? I will not just sit here while he talks about my girl like she was a **** or something!!!?

He drew his blade and swung in the air twice. People began to run out as they felt the tension rise. Meta slipped behind Draco and got him into a bind.

?Look, we?re in a diner, ok?? Meta pointed out. ?Mind taking this outside??

?With pleasure!? Draco grunted as he broke from the eagle?s grip with his wings and put his sword away.

He glared at Saito and stomped out the door. Jessie quickly ran after him as she put on the thick cloak.

?Draco, I know you mean to protect me, but you have to let it go??

?Jessie, it?s a little deeper than you think?? he growled as he undid his cape and handed it to her. ?He didn?t just insult you, but also me? He thinks we can?t be together??

Jessie held his hand and then slipped her arms around his waist to embrace him. He gently ran his claws through her hair and kissed her on the cheek.

?Please be careful?? she whispered. ?I will not watch while my friend gets hurt??

?Don?t worry? I?ll win this one just like the last match??

Draco walked over to the twins and left her there, along with his scabbard. He stepped lightly and faced his opponent, a hate brewing inside.

SIZE=3]Chapter 13[/SIZE]​

People began to gather around the two, waiting to see what would happen. They knew that Draco was a highly skilled swordsman, and for one to challenge him here was a very foolish idea? The dragon prince had been reared here and knew the art of fighting in the swirling sands and unbearable heat.

?So!? the prince shouted over the winds. ?You dare to challenge me again??

?Why wouldn?t I?? Saito chuckled. ?For the last two months, I?ve been on Sand Ocean, training not only for the race but also to hone my skills.?

?Well, you are quite the foolish one to challenge me here, even with your so-called honed skills? Everyone knows that when people challenge me here, those challengers go down faster than you think??

The winds swirled into the quarry and the dragons bellowed behind him. Krypto snarled at the sudden din but then whimpered when he saw the size of the beasts. Saito stepped back as he watched a black and a white dragon step into full view. They stood at least 2 stories tall, but when they reared to beat their wings and cried out to announce the challenge, they stood 4 stories tall. Draco laughed as he watched them cower slightly at the sight of these magnificent beasts.

?What, didn?t believe the people around you when they said I actually had dragons??

?I?ve heard, but I thought it was all bogus? I only thought you only had that red sorry excuse of a dragon??

Brushfyre huffed on Pearl?s head and was more than ready to fight if it had to, but its mother cooed softly for its offspring to calm down and gently nudged it. The little one calmed down a bit, but still felt insulted.

?You thought wrong and Brushfyre is one of my loyal friends?? the dragon prince replied with a grin. ?My name isn?t ?Draco? for nothing! Now, let?s get the challenge going!?

Pearl and Black Fang laid head to head and formed a ring around the two competitors. Those who wanted to watch either climbed up the walls and sat at the cliffs or gathered at the dragons? tail and looked over while others went on to the dragons? backs and began to cheer their home fighter. Saito growled as the whole community cheered for the prince. Krypto was still intimidated by the great beasts and whimpered. Black Fang reached out, grabbed Krypto in his claws, and dug into the sand to hold the wolf in something that looked like a cage. The wolf snarled as it tried to get out, but the dragon growled louder still and silenced the dog. Draco revealed his wings and tail and grinned.

?Are you going to back down now?? the dragon prince snarled as he beat his tail against the ground, sending up clouds of dust behind him.

?Can?t back down now that the whole village is here, can I?? Saito laughed as he brandished his gleaming sword.

?I couldn?t have said it better than myself??

The dragons raised their heads and roared, their voices echoing off the walls and sounding the beginning of the match. Draco?s tail whipped wickedly in the wind as he drew his blade and waited for Saito to move. The wolf boy calmly waited, but the sandstorm was brewing even in the quarry and it made it hard for him to pinpoint his foe. He glared through the sand and thought he saw the dragons? owner. He swung through, but his blade hit nothing. It was but an illusion. He turned and could hear the prince chuckle.

?See what I mean??? a voice echoed from the swirling sands. ?No one has ever defeat me in a match in Sand Ocean? The sands of my home are with me in this match??

?I don?t care! I?ve trained too much to be defeated now!?

For half an hour, the two fought, neither one going to let up for the other. Then, Saito slashed blindly to the side until he felt a thud, followed by a heavy groan. The storm lightened slightly and the boy could see the image of Draco on the ground, his hand covering a wound on his side. The blade actually found its mark and Saito grinned as the blood glistened in the sun.

?Not so tough now, are you??

?I won?t give up and I will not start now!?

Draco beat his wings to kick up a whirlwind and quickly fled from his foe for a little while as he held on to his wound. Jessie whimpered as she saw the blood and began to feel uneasy about this match. She knew that if they were not careful, one would end up dead. The clash continued as Saito finally focused his mind on tracking the dragon prince and the blades sparked. Everyone cheered, as the fight finally got interesting. The sandstorm cleared and there were the two practically so close to each other?s throat that they could hear the heart of the other beat. Jessie squirmed out of the twin?s grips and tore off her top to flare her wings as her friend fell with a heavy thud. Intending to only knock him out, Saito took the broad side of his sword and swung. He heard the hit, but it wasn?t Draco nor did it sound like anything human. An unearthly ping rang through the arena, followed by a soft thud next to Draco. The prince stared in horror at a limp body with jet-black wings.

?JESSIE!!!? he shouted as he flew over and knelt down.

Jessie laid only a few meters away, the side of her head stained with a trickle of blood. At her left wrist was a light jade bracelet that Falcon had given her not too long ago. It lay in the dirt, the pieces glittering in the light. It had broken into 3 neat pieces, one break from the blade itself while the other two were from the stress of the blow. He held her closely and felt around. Nothing was broken, but she had been knocked unconscious. The twins dived in and quickly pulled her to the side. Draco growled and got up slowly.

?No one touches my girl?? he said in a threatening tone as he supported himself with the sword. ?And those who do harm her will suffer the more than the consequences!!!?

The first time they had fought on the beach, Krypto was attacking Jessie and that was enough to set him off, but to harm her himself showed the prince?s true side. He howled loudly and the dragons replied with a deafening roar. The wolf whined as it felt a sudden air of power rise about it. Two more times did this happen until Draco became nothing but a blur, the sands covering his tracks and the winds shielding him. This way and that, he landed every hit, but Saito blocked the best he could. Pretty soon, the boy was wearing out and almost fell when another blow came too close to his head. The broadsword flew from his hand, landing right at Draco?s feet. He watched as the prince picked it up and advanced on him. Night Owl and Meta remember what had happened in White Land one time in a scenario similar to this and waited quietly. Draco roared and was about to put the finishing move when Saito cringed at the thought of what was at stake. His family? The pups? Everyone that was important to him was depending on him? With a thrust, the blade hit the ground, right between Saito?s legs. Draco stood above him, his white hair, tail, and wings whipping fiercely in the wind. The prince never believed in killing his opponent for satisfaction, but rather let them live to learn a lesson and return to the life he had before the fight.

?Let this be a warning to you, Saito Azaki?? the prince lowly growled as he lifted the boy?s chin with the tip of his own blade. ?Next time you touch my girl again or even harm a single hair on her, I swear, I will hunt you down to the ends of the universe and give you a slow, painful death as I feed you to my dragons??

Saito gulped as he stared into Draco?s eyes.

?There?s no way I?m taking a chance with him again,? he thought as he felt himself go weak with fear.

Even with a wolf?s blood in him, he knew when an enemy was too strong. This was far worse than what he had experienced on the beach that day. He looked down in defeat and turned away. The dragons howled to signal the end of the competition and the people sitting on them slid off their backs. Black Fang released the wolf from his claws and bellowed as Pearl picked up Jessie and Brushfyre ran over to the injured Draco, but the prince caught a quick gust and landed on the white dragon. Meta and Night Owl quickly hitched a ride on Black Fang before the dragons took off. Draco slid into Pearl?s claws and held Jessie close.

?Whatever happens,? he thought as they flew to the nearest hospital. ?I promise that if he gets near you, he will pay??

Saito crawled over to where the girl laid and picked up the remains of her bracelet. He felt humbled and quiet when he realized what had happened as he stared at the green stone. After pocketing broken jewel, he climbed into his vehicle with his pet and quietly drove back to the forest he knew as home.

?I didn?t mean to?? he whispered to the wolf lying in his lap. ?I didn?t mean to hurt her? but why did she do that? Why did she risk his life for him???

Krypto lifted his head and whined softly as he pulled out the racing flyer from the side pouch.

?I guess you?re right?? he sighed as they passed through the warp gate and into the forest. ?I guess she just felt like she needed to watch after him like he watched after her? protecting one another? like the way I watch you and the other wolves and in return you watch over me??

The wolf seemed to smile and hopped out of the vehicle as soon as they arrived. The game on the mountain had increased slightly, but pretty soon, it would fall short and their supply would dry up again.

?I promise you, Krypto. I?ll do anything I can to watch and take care of you guys? You?re like family to me and I can?t let you or our pack die out. I will enter the race, and once I win the money, I?ll make sure that everyone here has enough food to go through anything.

Krypto yawned and curled up in its little corner of the cave. Saito only grinned as he pulled a thick canvas over his vehicle and settled down for the night. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the three pieces of jade that had been a bracelet.

?I?ll give these back to her?? he thought. ?Regardless of what her friend says? The least I can do is return these??

Saito carefully put them away, quietly curled next to his wolf, and fell asleep. His dreams were exciting ones as he dreamt how he was going to win the race not only for or by himself, but with the spirit of the wolves and for them?

Chapter 14​

Draco walked down the street with Jessie at his side. She had just gotten out of the hospital after the rumble with Saito, but was doing much better. However, Draco was never going to forgive that boy after what he did to her. The next time he saw Saito, he would kill him. He looked around and glared at the people as they passed by the shops. Jessie then spoke up.

?I know he didn?t mean to?? Jessie began, but Draco cut her off.

?Jessie don?t you understand?! That boy hit you just to piss me off!? Draco growled. ?I?m going to kill him!?

Jessie tried to speak up again but she was blocked off again, this time by a noise that sounded like gunfire. Draco roared in pain, blood dripped from his shoulder. He looked around to see who had fired the shot, but he couldn?t see the attacker. Jessie ran over to Draco.

?GET DOWN!? a voice roared.

Jessie whipped around to see a familiar red-haired boy running at her. It was Saito! Saito leaped and tackled her to the ground as a wave of gunfire past over the two of them. Draco turned and saw Saito. He roared in anger and dashed at him, but even more bullets hit him, each piercing him deeper than the one before. He fell to his knees and panted.

?DRACO!? Jessie yelled as she tried to break through Saito?s arms.

The boy stood up, drew his broadsword, and began to walk over to Draco. The prince shut his eyes and got ready for the killing blow, but Saito ran passed him. He let out a war howl, and tossed a knife he had with him straight toward a building!

?GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!?

A scream rang out. A figure standing on top of a building disappeared as a sniper rifle fell to the ground and shattered. Jessie got up and ran toward Draco. She held him close and began to cry. Draco held on to her despite the pain and looked up. He was shocked. Saito had saved his and Jessie?s lives.

?He? He? He saved us?? he gasped.

?I told you he was good,? Jessie cooed. ?But we need to get you to a hospital quickly.?

Jessie helped her friend and carefully supported Draco as he looked around for Saito, but the wolf boy had disappeared. Later on that day at the Academy, Jessie cruised into the hanger to park Silver Falconite, she noticed Draco coming out of Thunder Dragon. She beamed as she ran over to greet him and asked if he was doing all right. The doctors had managed to pull out all the shots and patched him up just as quick. Illusion and the twins were also there with them. Draco was explaining to them what had happened that morning.

?Wow, wolf boy saved you?? Meta exclaimed.

?Yeah, I thought he was going to kill me, but he threw a knife at the shooter, I guess successfully hitting him,? Draco replied as he winced from the wounds.

Jessie pulled up a chair for her friend and listened. Then she turned her head and noticed a red F-Zero machine parked near James McCloud?s Little Wyvern, and right next to it was a 14 year-old boy with red hair sitting beside it putting details on the vehicle. It was Saito. He was dressed in his blue sleeveless shirt and black sweatpants.

?Hey, Draco,? Night Owl said pointing at Saito. ?Looks like your savior is over there.?

The prince growled quietly, but the group walked over to Saito, who bowed his head as a greeting, but stared coldly into Draco?s eyes. He hadn?t forgotten about the duel with Draco. He continued to paint his car. Jessie had a close look at his vehicle. Its booster was a simple Sunrise 140, its cockpit a Bright Spear, and its body was a Fire Wolf. Saito was placing a picture on it; a picture was a wolf?s head with its eyes colored in red. Night Owl walked around the vehicle, and as he did, he tapped on it a few times before he spoke to Saito.

?Gee, this has to be the cheesiest machine I?ve ever seen, made out of simple parts,? he grinned.

Saito shot him a death glare then spoke in an angry tone.

?Whatever, but don?t open the cockpit.?

?Why?? Night Owl said grinning.

He disobeyed Saito and opened the cockpit. As soon as he did, Krypto jumped out of the cockpit and pinned him by the wings. The wolf snarled, showing off his teeth. A small strand of saliva fell from his mouth landing on Night Owl?s face. The owl was scared stiff as the drool rolled down his nose. Meta, Illusion, and Draco laughed as they saw Night Owl shivering in fear.

?That?s why,? Saito smirked.

He whistled and Krypto got off him and sat at his heels. Draco looked at Saito and spoke.

?Have you named it yet?? Draco asked, trying not to look so bitter.

?No, not yet,? the wolf boy sighed. ?Hopefully, I?ll come up with something soon??

He placed the picture on the vehicle and carefully seared it to the surface. Afterwards, he stood up, grabbed his bag, and walked away, his pet following him closely at his feet.

Chapter 15​

Far away on Lighting: Loop Cross, the Bunny Flash zoomed down the speedway. Lily Flyer was trying to break Captain Falcon?s record for best time. As she zoomed along, she didn?t notice something moving from the shadows. Suddenly something smashed her into the wall! It was a black F-Zero machine! Lily desperately tried to boost away, but the vehicle caught up to her and smashed her again, this time sending her flying into the air!

ENERGY LEVEL: 0

The vehicle smashed to the ground and exploded, Lily rolling out of her vehicle in pain. She watched as the mysterious vehicle?s cockpit opened up?

Back in Mute City, Jessie sat down with Jody to play a game of Speed while Draco sat behind her with his arms crossed. He was staring at Saito, who was meditating in the corner while Krypto lay near him, taking nap. Brushfyre was still a little mad at wolf and was going to attack him, but Draco told it to calm down.

?Lyms tufh, Brushfyre...? he whispered. ?Zicd mayja res ymuha vun huf...? [Calm down, Brushfyre? Just leave him alone for now?]

He had decided to give Saito a break for saving him. Jessie smiled warmly at her friend as he caressed Brushfyre?s leathery wings. Suddenly a transmission blared out of Jody?s radio.

?Come in, captain! We?ve got an accident. Lily Flyer is down in Lightning! Repeat, Lily Flyer is down in Lightning!?

Jody and Jessie gasped in horror while Draco was up in an instant and growled. Saito?s eyes shot open and he quickly got up, whistled for his wolf, and the brothers dashed into their F-Zero machine. The red vehicle jetted off into the warp gate leading Lightning. Jessie stared at the direction Saito was going, she had to do something.

?Stay here, I?m going to help him!? she yelled.

?I?m going too,? Draco replied.

Jody wished them luck, and Thunder Dragon and Silver Falconite jetted off after Saito. Saito dashed desperately along the track, he had to find Lily. Then he saw smoke rising up in front of him, there laid the wreckage of Bunny Flash! Saito and Krypto leaped out of the vehicle and dashed over to Lily. The young soldier saw Saito and lifted her head up. Saito bent over and held her body as a small tear fell from his eye.

?Are you alright?? he asked.

Lily nodded. Then Krypto let out a loud growl followed by snarling, Saito looked up to see a black F-Zero vehicle. It was created with a Saturn-SG, an Aqua Goose, and a Scud Viper. Two details of eyes were on its sides. Its owner was a 14-year-old male. He wore a black sleeveless shirt with black sweatpants while a spiked elbow armor was strapped to his left elbow. He had black hair and his eyes glowed an inhuman black color. He smiled evilly and hopped into his vehicle, jetting off before the two had time to react. Saito snarled and carefully laid Lily on the ground.

?Wait here!? he whispered. ?I?ll be back??

The two brothers jumped into their vehicle and jetted off after the attacker. Lily watched Silver Falconite and Thunder Dragon pull up right next to her just as Saito disappeared. The pilots leaped out of their vehicles and ran toward her.

?Are you alright, Lily?? the lieutenant asked as she carried the wounded girl into her vehicle. ?Where?s Saito??

?He? went after? the guy? who hit me?? she gasped.

Draco growled lowly then spread his wings and took to the sky.

Chapter 16​

Two vehicles pounded against each other as they streaked down the empty road in Lightning.

?This guy is good,? Saito thought as he regained control from a hard hit. ?But I?m going to kill him!?

The strange racer led him to the power plant as lightning branching through the dark sky. The black machine slowed to halt and the cockpit opened. Just as Saito arrived, the pilot leapt out of his car and jumped all the way to the top of the building! The boy stepped out and looked at Krypto.

?I?m going alone buddy, I?ll be back,? he said as he set the machine to autopilot. ?You wait for me at the Academy.?

Krypto nodded and laid down as the red machine jetted off. Saito jumped on the wall and began to sprint to the top of the building. When he reached the top, he saw the boy waiting for him.

?I?ve been waiting for you, Saito,? the mysterious attacker chuckled with a slight snarl.

?Who the **** are you?? Saito growled.

The boy walked around him, the blade at the tip of a polished red wood gleaming in the light of the security light and lightning.

?Let?s just say I?m the alpha of your omega?? he laughed.

His shadow seemed to form a snake?s shadow. Saito drew his broadsword and snarled. The kid reacted by drawing his own weapon, this one was a staff with a sword blade on the end, a kwon-do. The two warriors took their stances and dashed at each other.

Let?s fight
We?re face to face
Loyalty is what I need to see from you
You?re insecure
I can see the fear that breeds in your heart

Saito aimed a slash toward his side, but the kid blocked it with the blade and used the other end to smash Saito?s face. Saito spiraled to the side of the ground, but he quickly landed on his knee and his left hand. He dashed at him and slashed upward, but the kid blocked down and pushed Saito back.

Where will you run? Where will you hide?
I see the blood drip from your eyes
Who will survive? Let?s get it on
And we?ll fight

Saito jumped over him and did a jump front snap kick at his face, but the kid ducked and slashed upward, hitting Saito in the face! A stream of blood ran down Saito?s face. The wolf boy growled and threw as many slashes as he could, but each time he thought was a score, the kid had blocked it.

I know who you are
The leader of lost souls
You can?t kill me
I?m immortal
I?m not afraid to die
My soul will travel on
You can?t kill me
I?m immortal
Immortal
Immortal
Immortal

Draco flew high in the air, the rain dripped off his body. He had to find Saito quickly!

?That stupid boy?? he muttered as the thunder roared above him. ?He should know better than to race off on his own like that, especially after a complete stranger!?

He searched everywhere but he couldn?t find him. Then Draco noticed two figures on top of the power plant, each dodging and jumping as they evaded the other?s attack.

I need the rush
There?s nowhere you could hide before you die
Why won?t you face me?
I can see the fear that?s in your eyes

Saito growled as he missed again. The kid was getting closer to cutting off his arm. Then the kid did something unbelievable. He blocked Saito?s blade downward, moved his blade diagonally, and chopped the wolf boy?s left forearm off! Saito knelt down and howled in pain. The kid then kicked him backwards to the edge, his broadsword halfway off the building. The boy walked up to the helpless Saito and saw his broadsword. Grinning evilly, he kicked the blade off the building and watched as it fell to the ground. Draco watched the fierce fight and wondered who was fighting. Then the staff-wielding warrior chopped off the other one?s hand. A loud howl rang out, a very familiar howl. He heard a clang as something landed beneath him. He flew down to check what it was, but when he landed, he saw it was a sword, a Chinese broadsword!

?Oh, **** no!? he cried. ?Don?t tell me he?s actually fighting him!?

Without hesitation, he flew upward and drew his blade, praying he wasn?t too late to help. The boy walked around Saito and kneeled. He slowly took off his shoulder armor to reveal a huge scar on his shoulder. Saito gasped. He was the sniper that tried to kill Draco earlier that day.

?Nobody leaves a scar like you do?? he chuckled evilly.

He picked up Saito by his neck and stared hard into his eyes.

?You, listen to me?? he panted as a foul grin began to form over his lips. ?No one has ever beaten Hiryuu and you are not going to be the first. So goodbye, Saito Azaki!?

With that, he tossed Saito off the building. Saito cried out as he fell. The last thing he saw was a wing of a dragon, then it all went black. Hiryuu watched as the body seemed to have disappeared on to the streets below. He grinned with satisfaction and slowly disappeared into the shadows.

Blazing destruction, forceful wrath
Blazing destruction, forceful wrath

Hiryuu, Hiryuu

Monstrous fortune, both useless
Monstrous fortune, both useless

Fall, fall, grace
So I do not die in condition
Fall, fall, grace

Fall, fall, grace [glorious]
Fall, fall, grace [noble]
Fall, fall, grace [glorious]
