WARNING!!: This has light gore content, so, if you don’t like imagining blood, then don’t read this chapter.



It was late, and just about everyone was asleep, and not by choice. The day was long, hectic, and tiring, they all needed they’re sleep, but as the group slept, a little monkey perked up in the distance. It squeaked with worry, alerting his whole troop.

       The little one began to panic, running away from his mama, and with a snap of a twig and the growl of a beast unseen, the whole troop was on edge. The alpha turned in the direction of the growl and growled.



       A roar suddenly woke the Fighters and Buddies, and they jumped up, Nanai jumping to the ground, brandishing her spear, ready to fight, Vion standing at her back, claws at the ready. “What’s going on?” Cyan asked, and Jeane narrowed her eyes. “That roar, it was close.” Now everyone was even more worried.

       Just then, the brush rustled, and they all turned just as the troop of monkeys they had encountered earlier ran right through they’re group, screaming and carrying they’re young. “What’s going on here?!” Raph asked, just as a young monkey ran over to Sorin.

       It squeaked urgently, taking Sorin by the hand and trying to pull him in the direction that the troop was running. Sorin seemed to understand. “Guys, we have to go, now.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       “I don’t need telling twice!” Haku said, and they began to gather they’re supplies, and when Nanai was about to snuff out the fire, something caught her eye that made her turn into the darkness, glaring into it. Vion turned as they began to leave, realizing that Nanai was being left behind.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       “Nai, let’s go!” She didn’t turn back. “I’ll catch up, you go, Vion, make sure that I have a group to get back to.” Vion sighed, he couldn’t disagree. Nanai may be his buddy, and his best friend, but when she had a plan, she had a plan, and if he got in the way, there might be dire consequences.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       When the group had ran off, Nanai gripped her spear and looked around, letting nothing hide from her hard and serious gaze. She was at the ready, a hunter with senses sharpened when it’s soft exterior was removed. A growl erupted from behind her, and she turned, smirking. “So, this is what this island has.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       Nanai stood before the beast, grinning in a dark, twisted way. “A panther? Is that the best this place can throw at me?” But when the beast stalked out of the shadows, Nanai gasped. It was huge! And it wasn’t a regular panther. It had drills sprouting from it’s back armor, and it’s tail had a blaster on it, as well. Nanai was faced with the hungry, dangerous and powerful, Armorknight Panther.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       Nanai was confused, why would there be an armorknight on an island like this? Were there other fighters on this island? But right now, it didn’t matter. The outcome of this battle would decide whether Nanai was going to finish her mission, the one she had set from even before she met Vion, and this monster wasn’t going to stop her. The drills on the beast’s back fired up, and Nanai smirked. “Hmh, you wanna dance, pussy cat? Alright, let’s dance.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       The panther pounced, Nanai leapt up into the air, landing behind the Panther, but then, being swatted to a tree with a single flick of the beast’s mighty tail. She his a tree, hard, and coughed up some blood. “Jeez, you’re stronger than you look.” She grinned. “No matter, the more fun it’ll be to take you down.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       Nanai got to her feet and pointed her staff at the panther. “Coem on, kitty cat, come at me.” She Panther jumped again, but this sime, Nanai stood her ground, raising her staff as a block so that the panther landed on it. As it leaned it’s full weight on her, Nanai pushed it away. Her will broke her limiters, and she didn’t even notice the strain she was under. With one strong push, she managed to topple the beast, and she jumped up, and as it lay on it’s back, she battled it’s drills, claws and tail.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       As she broke it’s tail, it’s front paw landed a strong slash to Nanai’s upper arm, and though it stung and dripped blood, she would still fight, to get out alive.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">“Hurry up, guys!” Raph called, just as Vion leveled out with him. Raph gasped. “Vion, where’s Nanai?!” Vion was tongue-tied, what should he say? “You left her behind?!” “You couldn’t expect me to stay with the look she gave me! I would have wanted to stay, but I’m not as good a fighter as she is!” “What do you mean, fighter? Nanai doesn’t fight!” Vion panted as he ran.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       “You’ll be surprised at what she’s been doing all this time. The world isn’t a place that’s as innocent as people think it to be.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">Nanai was thrown back once more. Her attacks weren’t working, the Panther was too strong, it’s armor too thick, be she knew it had to have a weakness somewhere, everything and everyone had a weakness, a flaw, a chink in the armor, the straw that breaks the camel’s back, and she needed to know the weakness of this panther.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       It turned to face her, it’s broken tail dragging limply behind it. It growled, drool dripping from it’s mouth, and roared. Upon seeing the dark abyss of the creature’s throat, an idea sparked in Nanai’s head, and she smirked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       She stood at the ready. “You’re hungry, right, boy?” The panther ran at her. “Then eat this!” With one swift movement, Nanai threw her spear, just as the panther was leaping above her, and as fast as an arrow shot from the bow of Artemis, it flew right into the creature’s open mouth, impaling it’s self in it’s throat.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">       The beast faltered, falling, coughing and groaning in pain, until finally, it fell still, the thick, red blood leaking from it’s mouth, and with it’s last heartbeat, it burst into hundreds of little red cards. Nanai scoffed, picking up her bloodied spear and stomping the fire out. “That’s what you get when you mess with me.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-font-family:"ヒラギノ丸ゴProW4"">
