Scout started to scream as if he was in pain from Tenma and Storms grip.Heaven then screamed at Tenma and Storm," Your hurting him! Stop! Let him go!"

Heaven stood up and ran towards Tenma and Storm and tackled them both to the ground causing them to lose the hold on Scout.Scout then ran toward all three of them on the ground and picked up Tenma by the throat.Tenma struggled to get free punching and kicking at Scout but Scout only laughed in an evil way.

Heaven got up and backed away slowly hoping Scout would not notice her," Blade stop him!" She yelled as she reach a safe distance away from Scout.

Draya held the daggers in her hands watching the monster attack. Seeing two knew people arrive they began to hold the creature down. It's scream was something that sent chills through her entire body and she dropped the daggers. They clattered to the ground but they were not heard from all the comotion. Scout grabbed one guys neck and held on. She knew she had to do something and for once the overwhelming growth of good sprang forth in the appearance of vines that grabbed and began to restrain the creature.

The vines pulled the creature down and they spiraled up its hand and gripped around it's wrist. Pressing down on the pressure points, the hand released the man and it was brought down. She didn't know how long the vines could hold him so she sent walls of rock sprout up from the ground as wall encasing him.

Blood started to trickle out of Blade's mouth as he walked forward. The sharp pain in his back started to kick in, once the Adrenaline had ran out. His body was starting to go numb.
"Ugh.. ah... Damn it." He pulled at his side feeling the pain.

He looked up to see vines pulling his brother down and they spiraled up its hand and gripped around it's wrist. Pressing down on the pressure points, the hand released the man and it was brought down. Draya didn't know how long the vines could hold him so she sent walls of rock sprout up from the ground as wall encasing him.

He turned his head, seeing Draya, trying to help. "What tha... What are you doing? Why are you helping."

Scout broke down the walls and started to take a bull run toward Blade. Blade turned around, trying to get up. The Beast leaped forward, but Blade could do nothing.

His arms became heavy, but the Lycan pulled to his belt, and grabbed his sword. Holding the blade tight he lifted the sword up.

Before the beast knew it, The sword was pressed threw into its stomach, and out of its back. The Beast moaned in pain as it slowly fell upon Blade. Blade knelt down feeling the weight.
"I'm Sorry Scout." The Beast's eyes slowly closed, as the body began to slump over.

Slowly the fur started to fall and fade from the skin, as the beast slowly melted away from Scout's body. Now only his normal size, there lied the young lycan, upon his brother's sword. Blade slowly pulled the katana out, as Scout's body slumped over on his right arm.

Putting the Scout down, Blade took of his shirt and tied it around the boy's stomach, trying to stop the bleeding. "He might be dead, but its better than him being a slave like that." Blade's eye grew heavy started to slump down. Closing his eyes the Lycan sat still over his brother, letting his body rest.

Blade looked up at Draya, and sighed. "Use your Blood, to heal Heaven. She's been posined, and she will die if she does not get it. hurry." Blade tossed her sword to her, hoping she would use it to get the blood. Blade looked back down at Scout, and then closing his eyes once again.

Draya caught the sword and walked over to the girl known as Heaven. She sliced part of her wrist quickly and let the blood flow from it. She winced a bit but soon showed no emotion on her face as she let the blood flow down and drop on the girl's lips. She made sure that enough was given before allowing the vines to wrap themselves around her wrist. It created a smooth covering and then flattened down to become part of her skin. Her wrist looked as though she never cut it at all.

- Tenma was surprised at how incredibly strong scout had become.- "impossible." -he gritted hsi teeth and tried again but it didn't help. val had his guard up again as he then ran at scout saying.- "dammit Heaven!" -as vines covered scout Val charged after scout but suddenly blade had cahrge at scout as scout did the same and Blade had stabbed the sword into the gut of his brother.- "blade..." -said Val feeling sorry for him. it was a decision Blade had made on his own.-

-VAl thought of healing Scout but was afraid to risk the event happening again. he simply walked away from them and walked to his wolves.- "Everyone let's go home." -He howled in case his wolves didn't here him.- "return back to your homes at once!" -Val gave a lok at heaven and said to her.- "I'll be returning to the dens at once." -VAl's pack as well as himself withdrew from the battle field. but before VAl officially left her said to stephen.- "Once again i thank you stephen for joining us in our cause. we shouldn't bothered for a while now..." -VAl smiled then went to his older brother who was instructing his soldiers and few wolves to move out.- "Keldin, what will you do now?" -KEldin turned to look at VAl and said.- "isn't obvious? unlike you i will be making my lands in a city. once i take over, come visit alright?" -Val nodded.- "DOn't be to hard on the human alright?" -Keldin shook his head.- "Some of them deserve it..." -he remained silent and spoke again.- "But no innocents will be harmed in my goals." -Val smiled.- "Thank you. This is farewell brother, until we meet again." -Keldin shook his hand.- "see you later brother.you'll find us in the nearest city, just give me a howl and i will come." -VAl nodded a yes to keldin and made his way to Tenma and Storm.- "Thank you for the help storm, and Tenma. you both should also go back to the dens and rest." -Tenma nodded.- "Yes Val, of course." -Tenma limped but still walked with storm back to the dens. Val then dashed with his super speed all the way to the front of his pack to lead them back to the dens.-

-Keldin told his men to withdraw from the battlefield and went to heaven to say to her.- "Take care of my brother, Heaven, Or should i say ALphess heaven, if not the at least watch over him form a distance, that will be enough for me. please." -he asked with a last second beg from him out of all wolves indicating he still had some compassion and concern of his family.- "And as for you....take care." -Keldin walked away after hearing a little bit of what she would have to say and then walked over to Stephen.- "Your pack was most helpful, I wish i more wolves like yours on my side. but that's fine. Stephen, farewell until we meet again." -and with that KEldin and his forces finally left.-

Blade sighed, feeling the pain on his back. He moaned holding his side. "Damn it.that little trick did a number on me." The Lycan picked up his sword, and placed it on the ground, then layed his back on the dirt.

He pulled up his knees, and held them. Still looking at the gun powdered sky. Blade chuckled and smiled, though it turned into a cough as blood spat out of his mouth. "Mmm...... I love the smell of gun powder in the Morning. It smells like victory." He laughed again, remember the cliche line. "So corny.." He said rolling on his stomach. "Maybe I should stop with the jokes." He gasped again, then coughed a minute longer, still smiling. "Damn bitch...... he he." Blade slowly closed his eyes and he fell into slumber.

-As Val made it to the front lines he spoke with one of the wolves.- "what's the status of our warriors?" -he asked in a commanding tone.- "As you can see sir we arr now small in number...i'm have doubts the wolves at the dens will not pleased with this my Alpha." -Val looked up to the sky and said.- "yes...i know, but i assure you this is the last fight you wolves will do for me." -As val arrived with the other wolves, he was greeted with mothers and children awaiting some of the brothers, father's and even some of the females that had joined the battle. VAl just simply walked past them and jumped to the highest rock around the center of the dens.- "My alpha! Where's my husband?!" -Val simple looked down and did not say a word.- "MY brother where is he?!" -another asked. Val's eyes lifted as he continued to look ahead straight ignoring their pleas until finally.- "I'm sorry, they have given their lives in battle. I can assure you..." -Val was the interrupted.- "What! How could you! You said you protect them!" -VAl remained silent again.- "this is bullshit! We wolves are giving our lives for you and you think you should be the Alpha?!" -Val then looked to him and said.- "I can assure you, this si the last battle you wolves will ever join me in. we can now rebuild our society and..." -again interrupted.-

"how can we Alpha?! Our loved ones have died! Don't you care about that!" -Val answered.- "I do, they gave their lives for our cause, for the good of our lands..." -One of the wolves said.- "Well i'm out, i'm sorry Alpha but i cannot stay in this clan." -Val nodded.- "your loved ones died for you. Not just for my cause but so you wolves could live in a place where these things won't happen anymore. If you believe you can survive without me and this pack, then i will allow you go. Those of you who believe that by sticking with me will live, stay with me please. As for the rest of you who don't...GET OUT OF MY SIGHT AND FIND YOUR OWN LANDS! IF ANY OF YOU THINK YOUR TOUCHING A TERRITORY THAT BELONGS TO ME YOUR DEAD WRONG! I WILL KILL THOSE WHO EVEN DARE TRY IT!." -he said harshly, not really in the mood to deal with crap like this. as a result Val's pack was taken down to a mere 20 or less. which included the wolves like himself. the rest of them were divided from val's pack most for the dominant ones having their own beliefs. unknown of the clans they called themselves, they either left Val's lands and disappeared silently or will already killed by other clan members, val didn't know. But val would always welcome wandering wolves as long as they did their part in a pack.-

Draya was standing there now, a little shocked that she had gone against her master's orders. It was a good feeling in her chest as she walked over to where the creature known as scout fell. Reaching out, she touched the wound with her fingers and vines began to sring forth from the ground and began to smooth across the wound. She did not know if he was alive or dead but she was going to try her best. The vines began to smooth out along the surface and become a tougher skin but after some time, it failed. most of it was covered by the vines but some of it was still deep.

Draya stood once again and looked over at the sleeping form of the lycan she was fighting with before. His name was Blade which she knew but really that was all she knew. She headed over to him and sat down, her legs crossed over each other and she looked up at the sky. She removed pieces of her armor and dropped them to the ground. They were a hard liquid type of armor. It was liquid but once placed on a surface became a hard shell almost indestructable. She saved some of it for later use.

Heaven screamed as Blade stabbed Scout,She ran over to Scout and held him in her arms as she cried." No no no no this can not happen Scout, you can't die now." Heaven felt a panic feeling as she searched for Scouts thoughts and found nothing but blackness.

After a moment She found Scouts thoughts, he only remembered right before he turned and nothing more. He had no idea how he got stabbed or anything. Scout started to ask a question but Heaven stopped him," Sshh, your answers will come in time for now you need to rest." It was hard for her to get the words out without choking up but she tried her best to sound as if everything was going to be ok. She then laid Scout down and stood up wiping her eyes as she looked around at all the destruction they had caused and how much smaller the pack was now. Even though they got their victory Heaven felt no glory or triumph, only sadness and pain filled her.

Keldin told his men to withdraw from the battlefield and went to heaven to say to her.- "Take care of my brother, Heaven, Or should i say ALphess heaven, if not the at least watch over him form a distance, that will be enough for me. please." -he asked with a last second beg from him out of all wolves indicating he still had some compassion and concern of his family.- "And as for you....take care."

Heaven looked up at Keldin and said," I wish you wouldn't go Keldin....Your brother needs you, and I would not mind you being around." Heaven then thought to herself "Why is it that I become the babysitter all of a sudden?" Heaven then watched Keldin walk away to meet Stephen.

"Your pack was most helpful, I wish i more wolves like yours on my side. but that's fine. Stephen, farewell until we meet again." -and with that KEldin and his forces finally left.-

Stephen had an expressionless face as he looked at Keldin and said," Farewell, my brother." Stephen then shook his hand with a firm grip.

Heaven then walked over to Stephen and said," I know there are no words for how greatful I am for you saving my life..."

Stephen looked down at Heaven and gave a slight smile," Heaven I killed you before I saved you."

Heaven didn't smile she only looked at Stephen and said," I know but you killed me because you had to save me. ..It was strange because when I was dead it was like I wasn't you know? Like I could hear everything that was happening only I couldn't see it."

Soon Billy came walking up behind Stephen. Stephen turned before he had reached him and said," How many casualties?"

"Two...Mike and Phil."Replied Billy as he looked at Heaven then back at Stephen.

"Good men, we must recover and get everyone back to the cabin."Said Stephen in his commanding voice.

Billy nodded and walked away.

Stephen looked at Heaven for a minute then grabbed her and hugged her. Heaven hugged him back feeling strange that she could not see what he was thinking.Stephen then walked away with no words.

Heaven listened to Val's announcement then started to walk towards the dens.On her way she saw Blade resting and a girl next to him. Heaven wondered who she was but said nothing as she looked to pose no threat. Heaven then walked passed them and over to Scout.She was about to pick him up but choose not to because she was so sore and weak at the moment. Edward then showed up and said," Allow me."He picked Scout up and carried him walking along side Heaven as they reached the dens again.

Heaven started to count the number of wolves left and she came to the conclusion that about 90% of the wolves gave their lives for them to be free. Heaven took a moment and inhaled deeply.Stephen showed up behind her surprising her and said," Do you like the taste of freedom?"

Heaven smiled and said," Yes but-"

"It comes at a great price and we will honor the ones who fought on this day."Said Stephen as he stood behind her looking down at her.

Edward looked at Heaven and said," I will put Scout in my den for him to rest..."Heaven said nothing a nodded as she watch Edward walk away.

Heaven then turned around to face Stephen and said," I owe you my life..."Stephen then bent down and kissed Heaven on the lips passionately.He then put his hands on her waist in a very needful way. After a moment he released her and rubbed the side of her face.

" Debt repaid." He whispered. Then he turned and walked away.Heaven felt a tingle run through her spine that made her want to jump into the sky.She then smiled to herself and walked up to Edwards den to see Scout resting and Edward tending to his wounds.

Heaven sat down next to Scout and ran her fingers through his hair a few times while she hummed a lullaby.Edward smiled as he looked at her then said," I'm not sure if that is a good idea..."He said not looking at Heaven but talking to her.

"What?" Asked Heaven.
" Messing with the alpha of another pack,It's not wise Heaven."He said then added," But I'm glad your in high spirits."
"I'm not messing with him Edward, yes we had one night together but that was it."
"I'm just saying it's a recipe for a disaster thats all and there is a high chance of it all going south and turning out really bad."
"Why? Did you get a vision?"
"If I were to tell you Heaven it would sway your judgment and change the future but I will say this that you would be risking both your pack and his..."
Heaven thought for a moment then laid down next to Scout as Edward bandaged him up. She wondered if he would be ok then Edward said," He will be fine don't worry he just needs rest."

Heaven didn't ask any questions as to how he knew what she was thinking because she assumed he had a vision and saw her asking him how he would be and just decided to answer it before she had the chance to ask.

As Heaven walked out side with Edward, Scout finale awakened.His eyes peeling open, under his lashes, and layer of skin. He felt the pain on his stomach, sharp and deep. The boy moaned, but stayed quiet. His arms were heavy, feeling the weight of conflict and battle covered over him.

Scout pulled himself up, slowly, removing the sheets. A great weight seemed to ride over him, like a storm on a lake. The howling in his mind crept behind him. He felt the beast inside him now, unlike before where he was inside the beast. Shivers started to collect down his spine, but he tired not to move.

As his body started to move, the wound seemed to cry out at him in anger, much like the beast. The Lycan got to his feet slowly, yet his stomach did not stop crying. Though he could not stand, Scout only walk hunched over, holding his gut.

The young Lycan peered out of the den, looking left then right, seeing Heaven in the distance. He wanted to stay hidden, keep in the dark.

Pulling himself out of the den, he hustled toward a tree, leaning beside it. He begain to pant heavly, his eyes growing heavy. "Ughm..." He was about to cough, but held it in, trying to stay quiet. "They mus'int look for me, no one should find me."

SCout slowly walked away from the dens, coming down the hill slowly. He looked up seeing the sun shine, warming his face. Thought the light felt blinding to him, revealing him. He covered his eyes, and felt like crying.

As his heavy feet came down the hill, his right toe got caught, and Scout suddely tripped and tumbled to the bottom. He crashed to the ground, "Ahw Damn it!" the sharp pain of the wound started to cut open. The boy started to crawl getting on his knees.

He reached out, touching the bark of a tree. Pushing against it, he slowly got up, but soon collapsed on the brown surface. Taking heavy breaths, the young man could not feel his own hands now. His eyes started to slew with tears, "I...I.... I need to get away, I, I can't stay here..Ahhh.. ah.." The pain of the wound only seemed to get harder and harder.

"So is that anyway to leave me?" a voice said coming from the trees. Jumping down with a thud the fellow lycan looked him in the face.
"Please don't say anything Bro, I .. I just have to go." Blade bent down, and sat on his butt.
"Why?" He said calmly, holing his sword over his lap.
"Its not safe for me to be here, I'll hurt some one. I'm not staying here until I know.. How to control this."
"Hmmmm." Blade eyes focused on his brother intensively, not saying a word.
"I can life with this thing yet."
"So you were wake when we fought." Scout nodded his head slowly, starting to hold his stomach. "I see, ......."
"I can stay, I can't"
"I understand."
"Don't come with me, I need to figure this out on my own." Scout was expecting Blade to disagree.
"Alright Scout." Scout was shocked and surprised and his responded, but didn't ask to hear it again. " I know that me being with you, will not help you if you don't learn to grow up and deal with it. So, that's it then." Blade got up and picked up his sword. SCout did the same, however much slower.
"Blade don't tell them that you know. I don't want anybody knowing about this."
"Aye I understand."

Blade smiled and offered out his sword to his brother, as well as his jacket.
"What's this?" The young Lycan said.
"Going away presents."
"But your sword, you need it to fight." Blade smiled and chuckled.
"You know I think I'm gonna take a break from fighting for a while, take it easy. Besides, you know I can just make another."
"Right." Scout said closing his eyes.

The two didn't say a word for a long time, then Scout reached out and took the jacket, putting it on, then Taking the sword, while using it as a crutch.

Blade smiled, then started to walk off, "Good luck Scout." The Lycan looked back into the forest, "Come on Draya, lets rest on something better than dirt, my side is getting sore."
The younger Lycan smiled as he turned the other way, away from the hill, and the dens, and out toward the mountains. Slowly taking one foor in front of the other, somewhat smiling with every painful step.

-As most of the wolves left, the result of VAl's pack was seriously low but normal for certain other packs. They at least didn't have to worry about food, and VAL had time to make his wolves alot better.

Kiba, and Kate asked Val if they could leave the pack for a while for the sake of their own livesas well as their daughters. VAl agreed and allowed them to leave. TEnma himself wanted to do some personal training after not being ablet to defeat scout in his enraged form. Tenma took it personally as he believed he should be the strongest lifeform ever created. Although VAl felt he would need him VAl understood his situation and his pride thus alsolet him go. He felt he would have to bear the weight of protecting the packon his own but he was not alone, he knew he alone even as Alpha should bear the burden, but if it came down to it he would. Storm upset about this wanted to go with TEnma but VAl had asked Storm to stay so he himself could finish masering her powers. He nodded in obedience and allowed Tenma to leave. The ice adn flame wolf of their pack were at their dens or had probably gone hunting themselves. IT would be a surprise to VAl because he could have sworn that she was pregnant, but he would leave them alone for a while since he had a pack to deal with. with less wolves now Val definetly had to lead a pack of wolves himself to hunt,t mastering the ful extent of his powers wouldhave to wait, being a wolf was far more important since he was the Alpha.-


He wish he could say something to ease the pain on everyone, this was all he could say.-
"Believe me i understand how you all feel. as an ALpha i valued my warriors as if they were my children. Which was why i had asked them to fall back. but being brave warriors, they continued to fight willing to finish the job and end the terrible war. They went against my wishes to save you all. NOt even i the fastest wolf in this pack could stop our hundreds of wolves from fightning agaisnt their wishes while a battle was going on. I too had to assist them.
Just remember, it is ok to mourn for them. Mourn for as much as you want because keeping your feelings bottled up inside will surely lessen your lifespan. And once you have done this you can finally move on."- Val sighed as his speech barely had any effect due to the depressed wolves around the air aswell as dens.-
"Alexia? will gather those willing to join the hunt?" -asked Val.- She nodded and called out to those who were willing. Doogan came out as he replied.- "I will join you ALpha." -Val awaited for a few wolves to approach him after he had leapted from the rock and landed on the ground walking towards the woods but stopped to wait for his wolves. Duke, ALexia and 4 others were willing to join the hunt.- "Alright, this will do..." -with that VAl and his wolves ran through the woods in search of prey.

Draya watched Blade wake up and soon followed after him. Jumping up, she clung to the branches and sat. Waiting a bit, she watched Blade jump infront of Scout, the man who had become a monster. She although heard they were talking she did not listen to their words and focused more on something else. On her left wrist was a tattoo of a sword. It ran along the veins of her arm. It was placed within her skin when she became an apprentice to Gordon. Apparently, it was supposed to disappear when she gained her freedom. It was still there on her wrist.

Draya suddenly snapped back to attention and flipped out of the tree and headed after Blade. She suddenly felt like she was obeying him. She stopped in her tracks and began to smile. Thinking quickly she walked faster and appeared beside him.

"You know, as much as I would prefer that, I think I would like a tall grassy area, with high trees, Were no one can see me, and I can start to relax my firmed and tight muscle, All this fighing has made me soooo Sore. I just wish some one could maybe give me a back rub. But I guess that will not happen."

She shrugged her shoulders a bit before looking away from him and giving a small sigh and making a pouty face.

"You know, as much as I would prefer that, I think I would like a tall grassy area, with high trees, Were no one can see me, and I can start to relax my firmed and tight muscle, All this fighing has made me soooo Sore. I just wish some one could maybe give me a back rub. But I guess that will not happen."

Blade smiled and stopped, standing on a branch. "You know If I didn't know any better, I could swear that you were hitting on me just now."

She shrugged her shoulders a bit before looking away from him and giving a small sigh.

Blade moaned, regretting that he was being turned on by such a simple advancement. "Damn it, your lucky that you got a nice ass, Or I wouldn't stand for this."

He Watched as Draya leapt away and winked at him. Blade grinned and followed behind, An act he rarely does.
