The Canine Underworld #7 Part of The Dream That Turned Real series
Earlier...
Ryan had snuck up on me. just what i needed.
"What does it look like? I'm putting this demon in it's place!" i snarled aggressively, to scare the demon more.
"Oh, just let the poor thing go."
"I-i can't, otherwise it will report to it's clan of me and what i done to it, and launch an attack on us."
"Looks like you got yourself in trouble, then, mister." Ryan said. Time for a snappy response.
"Hey, at least it's better than getting fragged over and over and making you cry from it."
"All right, you win, we can keep it."
I smiled as i pulled the demon's bruised and bleeding ass onto my knot, thrusting my knot in and out until the big one came, feeling it's organs squishing around my cock and knot.
I was finally able to climax, the fiery need to cum sated, as i emptied my nuts into the demon's insides to overflowing from it's mouth and nose in one big cum-splosion. I growled with satisfaction as my need to breed went dormant for now.
Ryan chuckled when he saw my cum shooting out of the demon's mouth, as did i.
===================================
"So... Figure out how Kraig was able to send us that message, or were you too busy trying to count your thrusts?" Ryan joked. I shot him a look of annoyance, and he apologised.
"No, i was unable to. And i'm not sure if he's gonna be able to do that again." i replied as i pulled out of the demon.
"LOOK OUT, GUYS!" we heard Dan shout before flying past us on what looked like his whip. Or a broomstick with a cat-o-ninetails strapped to the back.
"Dude, what the fuck are you riding now?" i said as he stopped in front of us.
"My whip." he grinned. We shook our heads.
"Wooowww. Epic..." Ryan said as he rolled his eyes. "Wha's that make you now -- A warlock of the whip?"
"Not entirely, mate."
"Let me guess, you're gonna get one of us to race you again, and by 'us' i mean me?" i said.
"Just try ta keep up!" Dan said before saluting, blowing a raspberry ending with a "YEE-HAW!", and snapped off into the distance.
"That was too easy." Dan said.
"What was too easy?" i asked as i ran alongside him. Dan looked at me like he was not impressed.
"I thought i left you with Ry."
"Chyah, you thought!" i said before boosting out of the dingo's field of sight. I was way ahead of the ding-dong, leaving a rooster-tail of dust behind me that he could see.
'Something doesn't feel right. I better turn around before i lose anyone's link.' i thought as i looked for the nearest pillar to bounce off of.
"Found one!" i said, as i ran toward the pillar, then straight up, my wings snapping out of my back as i went upside down. Righting myself, i boosted out and scanned my radar for Dan, who was weaving through the pillars near the houses. I found him, and landed on the next pillar he was going to pass.
Sliding down the stony shaft with my claws digging through it, i grabbed the end of his whip, snapping him off his ride, and into another mound of stone.
"DAMMIT MIKE I WAS IN MY GROOVE!" he shouted as he pulled his face out of the pillar, peeling the rest of himself off of it and turning to look at me. Time to show off...
I pulled the look i gave the demon on Dan, and took a few steps toward him, continuing until fur met fur. Dan looked up and i gave him that open-jawed fanged grin.
Dan squealed in shock and terror as i grabbed his wrist and yanked him to the ground, bearing half of my full weight on him to subdue him as he went into his muscled form.
I had his head in my jaws, his muzzle in my throat, and wrapped my lips around his neck, sucking and swallowing, but not eating him, whole or part.
"Oh, i see what you're doin' now... " he said, and relaxed.
"WAHH, Mike, what're you doing to Dan?! Spit him out, now!" Ryan said. I opened my maw and let Dan remove himself from me.
"Don't worry, Ry, it's cool. It was like one of those tricks where you put your head in an animal's mouth."
"Seriously?"
"That, or he just needed something to suck on."
"All right, let's just go home, and catch some Zees." Ryan said, before i teleported us over to our house.
===================================================================
"Oww, my- ahh..." i groaned as i lay on the slab of stone that was our bed, the pads of my feet peeling again from running that fast. "Agh, no wonder cheetahs can't run fill tilt for too long. NGH!"
"If you were running your car down here, those tires would heat up after who knows how many miles, then..." Ryan said, ending with a popping sound.
"Thanks for bringing that up, now i'm starting to miss that old thing." i replied as i got up to stretch, before getting a very painful reminder that my feet have not healed yet, and slammed my tail back down.
"If i were to get the same make, i'd probably go with one of those STIs, the newest off the lot." Ryan waved his finger in circles.
"Why? I mean, y'know?"
"Well, i know you like the one you had for it's styling, but i'd prefer something... newer."
"What was the last car you had, Ryan?" i asked him.
"Oh, boy, lessee, uh... Yeah, back when i was in the Lakewood PD, i had this really awesome Porsche for a cop car. It was a seventy-four nine-thirty slantnose that i had rebuilt for the ultimate chases. The only bugaboo with it was, the entire car shut down if the engine really started overheating, and i'll tell you this: it was a thousand pounds of fast and furious fun, until the chief confiscated it when i quit the force."
My Lycanthropic mate was a cop? How awesome is that?
"Oh, mah- I have an ex-cop for a mate? Oh, that just makes me love you a lot more, Ryan." I hugged him. "But, i do wanna know - how did you really get here?"
We released each other and sat down. "Well, mostly it was Kraig when he blasted his dog whistle, but Blitz picked on me, and... He called my face ugly, Mike!" Ryan started blubbering.
"Aw, Ryan..." i cooed as i held him in my arms before realizing i had set the demon i raped free. "Did i forget my demon cumbucket?"
"Ya kinda did." Ryan sniffled.
I teleported to the last place i had the thing, and to my surprise, it stood as still as a statue. In fact, it was a statue!
"How'd that happen? Eh, oh well. Least i know i got another weapon now." i said. "Well, let's getcha home. You'll make such a good, uh... gargoyle-thingy for the front yard."
=========================================
"What the eff-woid is that?" Dan asked as he saw the statue.
"'Tis a demon. I felt kinda randy and decided to follow my baser instincts. How this thing turned into stone through my screwing it, i've not a clue." i told the dingo.
"I think that is where i would come in."
"All right, Gorn, Mister Know-it-all of the underworld, whaddya got?" i asked the minotaur.
"A Pure werewolf's essence is potent enough to transform a Humans' form into theirs, and imbue them with extraordinary powers and abilites, as you have already found out."
"And what does that have to do with my seed turning this dude into a stone totempole?"
"A demon's DNA simply is not compatible with the mutagens found in your own genetic structure, thus, even though your 'virus' wiped out the demon's DNA, it couldn't do anything further to it aside from complete calcification of its' skeleton, then dehydrating every single muscle and skin cell."
"Man, and i wanted this thing as a personal servant, like Dee."
"The camel? Heh, sorry, Mike, but i had'im first." Dan cockily said.
"Don't start picking on me, mutt, or you're gonna face something worse than those demons!" i got up in his face. A growl followed from both of us, followed by a moment of silence, before Dan fell on his back in a fit of laughter that lasted quite a while.
"Seriously?" i snarled, wiping my paw down my face before scaring the dingo with my death-screamingly demonic feral form.
Dan screamed as i got in his face again, my jaws bearing some insane choppers, so sharp, one could easily bleed upon simply touching these things.
"Daddie, the meanie monster doggie's scaring meee!" the dingo hollered as he ran behind Lupo, wrapping his arms tightly around the wolf's waist -- like a scared little kid.
"Mike, stop this nonsense now, or i'm sending you to your room!" Lupo scolded me. I was pissed beyond anything now, but i knew not to hurt whom i loved, so i grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, and held him high, over my waiting maw.
"OKAY, okay, you win! Put me down, i'm sorry!" Lupo screamed as he freaked out. I lowered him to the ground and closed my jaws.
"Now, if you don't mind... I'm going for a walk. And i'll be getting rid of this trash." i said as i left, carrying the stone demon with me to be disposed of.
==========================================================
'That dang dingo, getting on my case. Wanna wring his fuckin' neck so hard right now.' i thought as i wandered around the wasteland with the stone demon under my arm.
I opened my wings and hauled the rock monster into the sky, and dropped it. The stone demon landed on it's head, as the whole thing shattered into small pieces.
"Well, that counts as a mood lifter, i guess." i smirked, seeing the monster fall to pieces as i landed on the ground myself. "Now-- What else can i wreak havoc on?"
Obviously, in hell, there's nothing to do...
"God damn it, i need some some fuckin' action over here." i said to myself. Nothing happened. "What the crap? Those things usually show up after anyone says it."
I groaned in disappointment and flew over to the wall. Landing on the pillar that i stood on before, i took a real good look at the wall. It was as tall as the Hoover Dam, if not taller. There was no way for those demons to get out. Unless...
I went down to ground level and walked alongside it, vertically scanning the wall.
"The only other way would be if they were going under the wall. Hmmm... " i muttered, stroking my chin. "Can't go over, can't go through..."
'Mike? You there?' i heard Lupo in my head.
"What do you want?" i asked in a gruff tone.
'Ryan's getting worried, and i wanted to apologise... for Dan and I.'
"Riiight. Be there in a sec."
==============================================
After i returned, Ryan gave me a desparate hug of want. I then explained to the others of my theory. Gorn gave a slight smirk when i told him that no demons rushed to attacking me after saying the guy's name. Then Dan interrupted.
"Aw, jeez, i'm running on empty." Dan said after his stomach growled loud enough for all to hear.
"Then take a nap. Swut i'm gonna do." i told him as i went into my feral form, wings closed.
"I guess that'll work. Gorn, Loop? Mike, Ry, an' I're gonna sleep for now. Wake us when the monsters show up for din-din."
================================================================== 333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
Now, it was just Gornak and Lupo guarding the three as they slept. Lupo turned to the minotaur, who stood two heads taller than him.
"So, Gorn... How'd you end up with Dan?"
"I was one of his premiere breeders, known as the five stars. There were, at most, six or seven of us, but i cannot recall any of the others. He used to own a bar in Scarnwood, named the Ye Old Yiff Inn. As for how i died, well, that i cannot recall either."
"Amazing how time can erase one's memory."
"Indeed. And what about you? How did you get here?"
Lupo blushed under his fur. "I had a, ah, special relationship with my son- "
"Father-son incest." Gorn interrupted. "I can tell."
"Well, yeah. it was that kind of relationship. Before he was thirteen, he asked me to find him a 'playmate' for when i went out to tie with one of my fuck-buddies."
"So you rutted with your child, but did not tie with him?"
"Yeah, i didn't want to hurt him, or ruin his chances of finding a mate down the road."
"Were you not worried of your son's choice of mate?" Gorn asked.
"Why?"
"Well, if he chose someone... different, like a male that's packing more girth than he could handle. Or someone of an abusive or agressive nature. Things like that."
"I knew my kid would make good decisions and stay away from the bad ones. His mother and I schooled him."
"And if the mate he chose was, say, a drug addict, or an alcoholic?"
"He would never. That's getting a little personal, Gorn."
"Forgive me, i never fully understood parenting, for i never had a chance to gain my own harem."
"Ahh- hmm. But you have a family. You got us, Gorn. Mike, Ryan, Dan, me, even Valdov-- We're not related, but that doesn't mean we're not family."
"Huh, i see your point. All this time, i've used the term 'Allies'. I thank you for making me realize that."
"You're welcome, Gorn."
"So, how did you come to be here? What was the method used in your undoing?" the minotaur asked the wolf.
"Well, Dan and Kraig got along so well, they kinda left me out of the picture. I was informed of Dan's services, and i wanted to try him out to see if he was the right size for my son. Kraig didn't like the idea, and told me that if i did what i was planning, he'd instantly lose intrest in mister Dinago, and possibly have him leave. I was quite heartbroken that my own son would say such a thing to me. He would rather be with Dan than with me. As for how i got here, i'd rather not discuss it."
"I see. And what condition was Dan in when you met him?"
"He was in a motorcycle accident, and i just happened to get caught in it. He slammed into the windshield of my car after his bike had a blowout and hit a pothole."
"And you and your child took care of him?"
"We did. Dan had broken his leg, so we kept him in a wheelchair for about a month."
"I heard that, Loop." Dan mumbled before Mike put his giant paw on his muzzle to shut him up.
Lupo looked out at the empty plains, sweeping his vision left to right before looking at Gornak.
"Something troubles you?" the minotaur asked.
"No, just simply admiring your form." Lupo told him as he sat on a small boulder.
"I truly am handsome, am i not? A being of strength and godlike stature." Gorn replied as he flexed and showed off, his tail whipping about.
"I thought we couldn't use that name."
"If Mike is true about the demons not attacking him, then no harm should come after i said it."
And, just as the werewolf told him, they did not come to attack, not a single demon was seen or heard.
"And it seems as though he's right. Perhaps we overused the name and wore it out." Gorn continued.
"Or we killed enough of them to scare away the rest of'em." Lupo said when Dan got up and walked past the two, grumbling as the wolf asked him where he was going.
Gorn and Lupo looked at each other in confusion.
Worried, Gornak went inside and awoke the young Lycan. "Mike, Dan ran off. You must fetch him immediately, before he gets hurt or worse."
============================================================================================== 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
"Wha-what's happening?" i asked while Gorn shook me up.
"Dan has just run off. He might be using his feral instints to locate food. He was not fully awake when he left, he might get into-" Gorn said.
"I'm on it." i said as i walked out of the house to go looking for Dan, using my senses to track him down.
I ran at full tilt to save my friend as he followed the scent of demons.
(Tires screech)
"DAN DINAGO!" i growled in my feral form as i found him, and stopped in front of him. We were close to the wall, where i noticed a small part of the wall was nonexistant.
Dan woke up to my menacing image, freaked out and took off.
"Crap. Also, i thought this wall went on forever?" i said as i chased the dingo down, tripping him up.
"Oof! Ow! Ugh! AH!" Dan shouted as he flipped, flopped, and rolled to a stop, smacking his head on the ground.
I stood over him, my forepaws in line with his shoulders as he regained conciousness. He looked into my eyes as i uttered a low rumbling growl.
"Man, fuckin' crazy, that ride was. What am i doin' here anyways, Mike?"
"You don't remember?" i asked, my look one of confusion.
"Not a clue, until i ran into you."
"Huh. Okay, i guess you were sleepwaking, then. Gorn promptly informed me of your disappearance, and sent me to retrieve you."
"Gorn's not usually that protective." Dan said as he sat up, lightly pushing me off of him.
"I guess he just finally realized that we're his family. His 'ohana'.
"O-what? Where'd you get that from?"
"Some mo- WHOA!" i said as i saw the wall sinking into the ground. "Oh, boy."
We were both wide-eyed at the sight. "N-no way. No, no, no. Nooo fucking way is that happening right now before us." Dan stammered.
"We better high-tail it back to base before we get swamped." i said. "Jump on and gimme a bear-hug, 'cause we are outta here!"
Dan hugged me with all his might as i floored it, running at a Veyron's pace, covering a mile in a few seconds. We finally made it to see everyone was outside.
"This is where you jump off, 'cause i gotta crash to stop!"
Dan jumped off as my wings sprung out to assist my deceleration, before curling up into a furry ball as i rolled into our house, sending it crashing on top of me.
(Bowling ball crashes into pins)
"MIKE! Dan and Ryan shouted as i was crushed by the weight of the slabs of stone.
"Aw, man, not again!" Ryan said as he climbed over the rocks, looking through the rubble.
"He thinks it's like a videogame, where you die and respawn." Dan said as he dusted himself off.
"One would think so, as some renderings would depict someone dying at the hand of a demon, then being revived only to have flesh ripped from bone by the same demon that previously ate you."
"That was a mouthful." Lupo said.
============= 3333333333333
"Found him!" Ryan said as he carried his mate out of the ruins.
"Good job." Gorn said.
Mike slowly twitched back to life, being caressed in Ryan's arms as he healed.
"You okay, Mike?" Ryan said.
"I'm gonna get slapped for this, ain't i?" Mike said.
(SMACK!!)
"I deserved that." Mike said after getting a neck-twisting smack across the face from the other werewolf. "Now, if you don't mind, i am going to vent my humiliation and anger out... on myself."
Mike shoved Ryan away and walked off, before changing forms and blasting off into the distance.
"He's startin' to get kinda moody, i noticed." Dan said as he looked at Ryan.
"Urhh, damn. How'm i gonna make it up to him now? I don't wanna keep losing him again and again." Ryan replied.
"I guess that's what happens when a werewolf and a human fall for each other: they become inseparable, their love unimaginable. Until something bad happens, then things spiral down from there." Dan said. "After that, well, i'd guess things go from bad to worse from there."
"Dan?" Ryan said. The dingo looked at him. "Remember when i took off from the bar because the moon was full, and i had to go feral?"
"That i remember. Mike took off after you did."
"Well, i'm going to recreate that scene, but with a little role-reversal."
"Y'mean, you're gonna go after him, let him chase you , then get it up the pooter by him?"
"Everything but the last part. Gorn, you know what to do if we're not back in whatever time frame we set?"
"Have Valdov track you down and haul your sorry carcass back here."
In a quick pose, Ryan went into an 'ultimate' human form, all his lycanthropic traits carried over to that form. The only article of clothing he had on was a pair of shorts, made from the skin and fur of some random demon he had skinned some time earlier. His hair had grown out quite a bit, giving it a lion's mane look.
The wolf-turned-human sprung into a full-tilt sprint to find his mate, looking around in a twenty mile radius.
"Mike, where are you? I'm sorry if i hit you too hard!"
===================
Mike, still in his feral state, was standing at the base of the lowered wall that supposedly kept the demons on the other side.
"How the fuck..." he said as he stared at what lay on the other side: a large town that reflected that of the mortal realm. It was... Unreal, to be modest, as it was something you would never see in Hell.
===================== 111111111111111111111
"Holly shniggit." i said as i saw the town on the other side of the wall. "That's- No. It's gotta be a mirage, something to lure me to those - Huh?"
======================= 333333333333333333333333
Ryan had finally found his lover, and immediately ran to hug him.
Mike heard the footsteps, and thought it to be an ambush. He swung out as he spun around, catching Ryan off-guard, blasting him back thirty feet.
The wolf's wings spread out to full size, making him appear larger, as he walked over to the helpless male, with full intent of disemboweling his assassinator.
The human, who lay on his back, shot his arm out to the predator looming above him.
"Wait, Mike, it's me, Ryan!"
===================== 11111111111111111111
'That voice....' i thought as i held my raised paw in the air.
"Ryan?"
"Yes, it's me. Your mate." he replied.
"Odd, you don't look like him." i said as i set my paw on the ground.
"That's because i'm in my human form. It's been awile since you've seen me like this."
"Ryan..."
"Y-yeah?"
"How the crack did you regain that form?"
"Werewolves still retain their human forms, even in.. well.."
"Well, i'd prefer to stay in my fur. And, as is obvious, you're gonna get eliminated real quick by those demons if you stay human."
"Thanks for not shredding me, Mike." Ryan said as he held onto my arm as he got up and shifted back into wolf form.
"Dude, how were you able to jump me like that? The whole time, i never caught your scent or anything, not even a thought from you."
"Guess that cannonball wiped your hearing if you were able to only hear me from a short distance."
"No, you only made your footfall heavier to alert me of your presence. I almost took you for another demon." i laughed.
"Whaaat?" Ryan dragged out.
"Nobody can get the drop on a werewolf. Seriously, especially as a Human. No way." i made the cut-throat gesture while sticking my tongue out for added effect. "I mean, surely you would know, since you're a Lycan too.
Everything was quiet for a minute or so, as we looked at the low wall, then the town beyond it.
"So, what happened here?" Ryan asked as we sat on the ground, legs crossed.
"The wall came down after i caught up with Dan. No idea why, though. Y'know what? Let's go back and check with Gorn on this one."
=========================
"The wall has come down? The one that protects us from Hell's nether region?" Gornak said, surprised. Dan started snickering before Lupo pinched the dingo's nose.
"Yeah. Don't know how or why, but there's a large town on the other side." i told them, along with the details.
"Wait. If we all go, then how are we gonna find our way back?" Dan asked.
Lupo snapped his fingers. "I have an unusally strong telepathic link with Valdov. He can stay here, and ignite his fire when we're ready to return."
"So, he's gonna be a..."
"Yeah."
========================
We all returned to the wall to see the town was still there. It looked like it was never touched by time.
"My word..." The minotaur said, jaw agape.
"Looks like a normal Earth-tow-" Dan paused. "Wait a gawddamned second. That's Scarnwood!" he exclaimed.
"Scarnwood?" Ryan and i asked.
"Yeah! Back when... Gah, what's his name? Anywa- Rokar, that's it. I can still remember when he took me on an arial tour of the town. A bit foggy in the details, i'm afraid, but the bar is, lessee, compass with fixed north... Okay, i forgot. Let's go check it out, see if i can find Ryan's house." Dan said, and started to walk towards the wall, when Gorn grabbed him by the arm.
"Tempting as it appears to be, i wouldn't go there. Not until we are entirely sure there are no demons about."
"Rock-paper-scissors?" Lupo asked.
"Not even that. Even my curiosity is peaking, but i'm not doing it, and neither is Ryan." i said. "Now, if only i had some earth-bending skill, that'd be of at least some use."
Ryan pointed to his eyes, gesturing a gun with his other hand.
It took a second, but i figured out what he was telling me.
"Man, i'm dumb, heh. Laser eyes, duh. Thanks, hon."
"Anytime."
I looked above the town and fired a small beam from my eyes. It went over the town, stopped by nothing.
"Huh. Okay, no force field, no demonic auras. Try it again..." i told myself before slinging a small boulder, about the size of Gorn's head, at the town as a four hundred mile an hour fastball. I let it soar towards the center of the town before blasting it to pieces.
"That'll get thier attention." i said.
A few minutes passed by, and yet nothing came from my efforts.
"Uuu-kay..." Ryan said. "Dare we tempt fate now?"
"No, Ryan. I'm sensing a trap hidden somewhere along the wall." Gorn told him.
I got on all fours and sniffed a length of wall before relieving myself on it.
===================== 33333333333333333333
Everyone had a classic anime-style 'wtf' expression on their faces, their eyes half-lidded, their heads lowered, a big sweat-drop hovering between their eye and ear, as they watched the big wolf piss on the wall.
==================== 1111111111111111111
I finished marking the wall with my piss and stood back on two legs, an embarrassed grin on my muzzle, but a look of bliss on my face, tongue hanging out. Ryan and the others had the 'wtf' anime-face going, their jaws dropped.
"What?" i said. I looked at where i relieved myself, then back to them. "So?"
"Well, they'll know that you were here, at least..." Gorn said, scratching his bovine head.
"Okayy... What would MacGyver do?" i asked myself. I then remembered the sword and shield i made from the diamond, and looked at the others. "Anyone bring weapons?"
"I thought this was a recon endeavor." Dan asked.
"Fine, i'll get'em, since i got the speed."
I zipped back to our 'base' to grab our weapons. As i teleported, i took note of how it felt. It was like i was traveling at almost the speed of light, all weightless and stuff.
"Hi Valdov. Just came over to get our swords and such, okay?"
the blue dragon nodded and fetched them with his tail, placing them at my feet.
"Thanks, buddy. We'll be back soon, i promise you."
'No keep promise, promise get broken later.' i heard an unknown voice say in my head.
"W-Was that you, talking to me just now?"
'yes, was me.' Valdov nodded.
"Good to know you have a voice, Val. Make sure, if the base is under siege, to come find us."
'i will do that.'
"'Kay, later, Valdov."
I teleported to the wall, asking the others if i missed anything.
"Been the same, nothing." Dan said.
"Okay then, i guess i'll be the martyr then, and go in there."
Gorn butted in. "All or none, Mike, we shall follow you."
"You sure?" Ryan asked.
"He's too easy a target. He might get overwhelmed. Best to go in as a team."
"Now or never, ladies."
"Hey!" Dan retorted before Ryan kicked the dingo right square under the tail. Activating his whip, he lashed at Ryan, leaving one large mark on the werewolf's chest, from his right shoulder to his left torso.
Ryan looked down at the wound the dingo had inflicted, gasping in disbelief.
"Oh, oh, OHH, you did NOT just do that, dingo!" i growled in a demonic baritone as i shifted to Feral, along with Ryan as we surrounded the lower being.
"ARE YOU SCARED YET??" i snarled, snapping my jaws an inch from his nose.
Dan squealed in terror. "I'm begging you, please don't kill me! I'll be good, i swear to the almighty god Lycaon!" he shouted.
"Gornak, please make some chains, so that we may arrest this little bitch." Ryan said.
The minotaur quickly went to work, making link after link of chain out of the skeletons of the demons scattered around the wall. In seconds, he had a superstrong fourteen foot bone chain, complete with harness, collar and handcuffs, all connected to the chain.
Gornak handed Ryan the chain, and I held on to Dan as Ryan put the bondage device on him, then took the whip away from him.
"A bit extreme, but it looks simply dashing on him, don't you think?" the bull said, rubbing his chin. "It may even help us if we are discovered."
"How?" asked Lupo.
"Uh... Forget i said that."
"Mike, you may be the only one who can actually blend in because of your looks." Dan said.
"You're not allowed to talk, dingo." i said.
"He has a point, though. Because your full Feral form looks demonic, you might be able to go in there and check it out." Ryan told me.
I then shifted to that form, pulling out all the stuff that came with my form to look at least part demon. Well, how do i look?"
========================== 3333333333333333333333333
Ryan checked out Mike's demonic Feral state from every angle, from the tips of his ears, to his bushy tail.
"Let's see that grin'a yours."
Mike gave his mate the grin of winners; his choppers were tinged with blood, and were very, VERY sharp.
"Good, now the claws..." Ryan said, showing his own claws.
Mike held up his paws, and showed off his claws, which were equally as sharp, very strong, around three inches in length. "I'm starting to think I made a boo-boo on making this decision. Like, I go in, but can't get back out.. Or, upon crossing the wall, I get vaporized." he said.
"The rock went over." Ryan said.
"Yeah, 'cause it's dead?" Mike replied.
Lupo sighed. "Valdov, you are needed."
"Wai- Grr... Now how're we gonna find our way back?" Dan said, before Mike shoved a fist-sized stone in his mouth, that he now growled around, his mind seething with hate.
Valdov arrived to inspect the party for caualties, then looked at the town ahead of them.
'Why you no go, friend?' the dragon asked through his link with Mike.
"We're not completely sure of our survival when we cross the wall." Mike told him.
"Valdov's linked with you?" Lupo asked.
"It's a weak one, but reliable, none the less."
"Fooohhh, yow wah?" Dan mumbled around the rock.
"We are going to have you 'test the waters', to ensure our safety." Gorn told the dragon. Valdov scanned the wall, then zigzagging toward the town.
'I not let friends down! I go see if safe.' Valdov thought to Mike and Lupo before backing up to the wall and slowly passing his tail over.
Nothing happened, so he pulled it away.
"Okay, proves the obvious, no energy shields of any kind." Mike said.
Valdov then backed in further until his torso was in. Nothing again. He backed in until his head was the only thing on our side of the wall.
"Try moving back and forth a few times, make sure you're not stuck in there." Mike said.
Valdov did as instructed. Nothing holding this twenty-ton beast back.
"I guess it is safe to cross; Are you satisfied now?" Gorn said, slightly irritated.
"I ain't pickin' one on you, Gorn. Why the 'tude?" Mike asked.
"Because i'm tired of standing here like a clueless zombie." he replied in a calmer tone.
"Well, like you said earlier: All go, or no go."
"Hmph. Fine, let's go. Maybe we can find some form of food there, provided we don't eat the annoying one first." Gorn stared at Dan. "Besides... We all have to face our fears at some point."

"I'm game," I said, "But, who's going first?"
'Demon nearby!' Valdov thought to me.
I scanned the infinite horizon for any threats, finally coming upon a five-foot tall bat-like creature, with wings as useless as a dodo's.
"Thanks, Val."
'You welcome.'
I snuck around, silently leaping a hundred feet, hovering over my target before swooping in for the kill. As I descended, I suddenly thought about using the creature as a.. 'Confidence boost', by chucking it, alive, over the wall.
Acting upon my idea, I opened my wings and quickly stopped myself about a foot from squashing the demon under my weight.
The demon looked up at me as we locked our sights on each other, with surprised looks on our faces as i floated above it like a skydiver.
I changed my expression to an evil grin as i grabbed the demon and flipped around, landing on my back.
"GOT IT!" i shouted as i wrestled with the demon, asking for Ryan to hand me Dan's whip.
I activated it, thinking about a harness, and the whip transformed into such, as i clacked it on the bat-demon, then with a mighty slap, spun the monstrosity as the whipcord wrapped itself tightly around the demon.
"YA-HA! Instant yo-yo!" I hollered as i flung the helpless demon around on the whip.
"Damn, you got skills, Mike!" Ryan said.
"Uh, uh! And the Underworld hazta answer right now just to tell us once again..." I paused to see if the others knew the words. Only Ryan, Dan, and Lupo knew.
"Who's bad!" Ryan and Lupo shouted together, fists pumping in the air. Dan kept quiet as per the rock in his mouth that kept him from speaking.
"Well, humour can be a form of entertainment, then, while we're here... for who knows how much longer." Lupo said.
"We're staying here for eternity, wolf, like it or not." Gorn told Lupo.
"Okay, shall we give it a go?" I asked the demon i was holding by the shoulders. The demon was struggling in my firm grip, threatening to rip my nose off.
I then flipped it horizontally, swinging my arm back, then full throttle foward like in bowling, releasing the demon at the end of my throw. It spun around, rolling off the whip as it crossed the wall, and pulling it back to me. Nothing happened; The demon was safe... For the moment, anyways.
It's head rolled around in a state of extreme disorientation before i tried again, this time, throwing farther than the first, by say, five thousand feet.
As it came screaming back, i held my right hand in a fist (my left was holding the whip), and waited.
"Check this out." I told everyone. "Falcon... PAWNCH!!!" I shouted as I punched the demon right through the face, grinning as it's gibs splattered all over me, on my face, mostly, it's blood coating my fur and staining it a dark crimson. Everyone else blocked, Ryan using Dan as a shield to block most of it.
"Now, that was hardcore to the triple-extreme." Dan said, the rock in his muzzle had disappeared.
"Where's the rock you had in your mouth?" I asked.
"I ate it."
"Okay, that's hardcore, what you did." i replied. "And don't run your mouth if you know you can't back it up."
"So, now what? We go in?" Ryan asked me.

"Sorry, guys, no go." Mike said as he lowered his head and tail and walked away, in the direction of the fort as he changed back to his Anthro form.
"Aw, Mike..." Ryan said as he followed the disheartened werewolf a time later.
The others looked at the town beyond the wall, then to the pair of Lycans in the distance. Gorn made the gesture for blowing one's own brains out, making the appropriate sound for it, before grabbing the dingo and carrying him as they went to where they called home.
