THE DAY I MEET A HERO CHAPTER 12
Chapter 12
I was always told to keep my hands to myself. Never fight and never fight back.
Yet so many years.... So many brawls that I could not keep my hands down. I put them up, but then there is laughter. The Evil pain of that horrible laughter. Taunting me. Never asleep nor ever dead. It was not my time. It is not theirs. For the time that has arouse, it is mine. The laughter stops. I feel free.
My head above all others. It was the truth. I was not just human, I was Michael.
The true value of my name is unimaginable. Friends...I have none. Family is not a wall, but the gateway to the next realm. The evil cries of laughter turn into cries of sure horror. To see a young man that has been bulled all his life, suddenly smile as a free man...words could never describe.
Many days have been good, but most of them were covered in the black clouds.
I was eight when I first got into a fight. I went into a lunch room, filled with all sorts of brood. It was like I was in a forest, trees everywhere. A few people were looking at me in antipathy. I was different from most kids my age, I was about two inches shorter then a second grader.
"Hey short bug!" I looked down, I knew he was calling me. "Shorty! Listen When I call you! 'tsk' you are no better than a bug! Just go home and stay there!"
I never took my eyes off my feet. I will not lie and say 'I love being tiny! I love being harassed every day! It is just fantastic!'I hated every moment of it.
"You jerk! What have I ever done or said anything about you?!"
"Is the bug going to cry? Poor little buggy."
"That is not my name! I am Michael!"
"Who cares! Evan, grab his legs! I want this bug to stay quite."
A giant circle surrounded fast and yelled the words 'FIGHT! Beat that Bug!'
I turned around to see a giant hand grab me and hold me in place. More laughter. The First hit, the second hit, the third hit all hit me dead on in the back. It was not fair. I never did anything and this is how I am treated? When I got the chance I broke free from his hands and whipped my tears. The only way to stop all of this...is to fight back. I never wanted to but I did. The bully laughed as I turn back to face him. I start smiling. I need to defend myself...hehe. The next punch was kicked away as my left foot ended up in his chest, breaking three ribs and puncturing his lung. One move and the fight ended. I never got into trouble, but I did indeed end up with a scar on my back. A reminder to make sure nobody dares harm me. If they do, they will be on death road.
That was not the last fight, but it will indeed be the easiest. Hhaa.., why is my life so miserable?
End Feature
I had a Dream that night; one some might say a nightmare, but to me it was a dream. Was I scared? No. Did I close my eyes? No. I just walked through a door and woke up.
I was different now. I could not feel my wings, my tail, my strength. I was cold. I was too weak to transform into my wolf form. The sky was dark yet early. I put my arms around my chest and walked into the snowy night. I hoped to find shelter; otherwise I would have died there in the freezing cold... alone. I could smell smoke, so I knew that someone was nearby. When my legs gave out, I was at the mouth of a cave. What was inside, I could not believe. Wolves. And not just any wolves, my cousins Kevin and Dylan. They were happy yet depressed to see me, after all, I was all most dead. Within seconds, I changed into my wolf form and sat at the fire, next to my cousins. We were all panting and laughing. Luckily they got a lot of caribou for the winter, in enough to last a pack of 12 for two years straight with no breaks. It was God's demand and love that got me this far. Yet why is it that I do not know how I wounded up around here.
The winter was bitter, my father, sister, brothers were out there somewhere.
I just hope that everyone is healthy, I do not want anyone to be looking for me in this weather.
"Ow! Why did you bite me Dylan?" I said with the full line up of my teeth.
"What's a matter?" he said as he put his ears back.
"Nothing...I just want to know if everyone else is well. I have not seen them in days! So how did you two end up here?"
Kevin walked over, glancing at us. He seemed like his usual self: Strong, bold, quick to his feet and very amazing. He smiled and sat down next to us.
"Well, we ended up getting separated from our pack and had to find food and shelter for ourselves. We have been here for about three weeks, yet not a word from anyone. Not dad, not Uncle Mike, not even our sisters!"
"Yeah, I hate that they still have not come for us... they are always the first ones out for us. Plus they love playing with us." Dylan said grinning.
"So what happened to you? You have not been here for about four months. We kept coming to see you but Uncle Mike said that you, Dave, and Nicole went missing after a mission at the Dragon Gate."
I looked down. I wonder how I am going to explain everything to them.
"Well for starters, after we cleared the bunker, we went inside to investigate why the Rebels were defending it so robustly. After we killed the troops, we interrogated the Colonel of their forces. She was a little short, and she was damn stupid. After a few minutes, she confessed that they were trying to get reinforces threw some Gateway.
She was shouting; I tell you that that was why we were stationed here! Please you got to believe me! I did not believe it either at force until we actually went thru it. We hid most of our troops there. You know that we could not have all of them inside this place!
"If so then where is this Gateway?"
She pointed to a hole in the wall. I moved my hands and she was taken away by the MP. "Come" I said to the others. Nicole went in between me and Dave as we walked into the hole. The hole was not from a shell or mortar, but it was actually a door made of very smooth rock. What I shall seemed to be familiar. It was a giant cylinder shaped room with a Giant Green crystal in the shape of a Dragon."
"You don't see that every day" Dylan said.
"I went to the center and just gazed at it. The next thing I did was stupid, I placed my hand on it. It Then started to glow and the room stirred. Rocks fell on the entrance and we were stuck inside. Then a loud jolt of thunder detonated and we were sent far away, to a new world to be exact."
"What did you see there? Anything strange?"
"Well at first it was all strange. I woke up seeing Dave and Nicole as dragons! I then looked at my hands and saw that I was one too."
"That is weird, anything else?"
"Actually yes. To get the point, I found out that I am not only a werewolf, but a dragon. But guess what else."
Blank stares from them both.
" I actually found out that I have two more brothers and my real DAD!
I have a twin brother known as Flame, a big brother known as Spyro, and My Dad is the Fire guardian! But that is not all, my mother is actually alive and out there somewhere."
"Did you hit your head or something? Do you know how stupid you sounded now? Your mother died few years ago, and your father is Michael Foun Duke."
"I knew that you would not believe me. I just need some sort of proof that I am telling you the truth. Do not get me wrong, but I am still your cousin and Michael is actually my Dads brother, therefore he is my uncle too now."
"So if we find Nicole or Dave around, they will agree that you are telling the truth?"
"I sure hope that they do."
The next day we went out while the snow lightened up for a bit. Hoping that we would find Nicole or Dave. We had no luck in finding them, but we did find human tacks nearby. So we went out for a little longer in the direction of where the tracks were heading. We were out for awhile and we all started smelling something familiar. We all glanced at each other and started to run towards the smell.
A bunch of humans were gathered in a small camp site. They were actually Hydra forces.
I was relieved that my troops were here. I turned into my human form and walked to the Gent Tent that had the commander inside. Dylan and Kevin followed and turned into their human forms as well. I was even more surprised to see that it was actually my mentor General Ross. He was a great teacher and friend growing up in the service. I knocked on the wood post at the flap.
"Yes?"
"Trooper, this is Michael, let us enter."
The trooper looked as if he had seen a ghost. He did not say a word and opened the flap. He went to full attention. I smiled and told him to go to at ease. He smiled back and resumed his post.
We walked in and all the troopers went silent and to attention as we walked by. It felt good getting a welcoming salute. We continued into to the officers den. The general was tired of doing so much paper work.
"Hello there General." I said.
He looked up and took off his glasses. He was in more allusion then the rest of us.
"Michael? It is so good to see you again. How come you went missing?"
"Well it is nice to see you again sir, but the truth is that I went thru a gateway into another dimension . And I just woke up and found myself bare naked out there in the snow. Luckily these two were nearby and had shelter for me."
"I see. It is good to have you back old friend. Come, tonight we shall feast on your safe trip home. But first thing is first, I got this coat that I want you to wear."
It was a nice bear-skin coat with a belt. I smiled at him. We all got these types of jackets when we reached the rank of colonel. This is my first time getting one, yet I am in second command of the whole military. Kind of funny really.
Later That Night;
Music was playing and women were dancing. The food was great and the vodka was excellent.
"Silence please. Today we have found a long lost ally. He has come back, and he is still great!" The crowd shouting. "Long have we been waiting for his return, and now that he is back, we can be at ease. The war is over! The World is in peace! Long Live Lord Michael and Long Live HYDRA!" The crowd again shouts.
To hear that the war is officially over is the best thing I have heard in quite awhile. My people believe in me, they believe that we will bring the greatest form of justice and Liberty. They are right. All we have done is bring the world under one command Lead by Hydra and supported 100% by America. This world is now in order.
Freedom is for those who support the government, not for those who fight against our rights. America has the BILL OF RIGHTS that had freedom them from Great Brittan. And now we have taken their Bill and made it the law over the entire world. America has helped us greatly and so has Russia. Now again, the world is at peace.
I might sound weird, but I assure you that I have never been more powerful!
You know what I say is indeed true, and that the world needs the right form of government. This provides you the rights and liberties of the world. Nothing could be better.
