The drive back home was a bit quiet between Dracon and myself. We listened to some music and talked about my 300 game as well, though we also still discussed what could have possibly made Gantu snap the way he did.

*FREEWAY EXIT ON THE RIGHT IN .5 MILES*

I wasn't really surprised that Dracon was using his GPS to help get me back to my house, especially since he wasn't accustomed to knowing how to drive back to my place, plus it was also a bit cold out which made me glad we were in the car in general. I was just glad that at the end of the night, I still had my accomplishment, although in the back of my mind, I just couldn't help but wonder what was happening with everyone else.

"How often do you drive anyway?" I asked Dracon as his vehicle exited the highway heading back to Salisbury.

"It's been awhile. I'm so used to flying everywhere I go, though there's times where I feel like I should be driving instead if the weather is bad or if a lot of people are out. If you're noticed as you fly it tends to make a lot of people feel uncomfortable."

"I bet, don't you have to get a special license just to fly?"

"It's quite the process just to be able to go where I want to go. And there's been plenty of times where I've broken the rules as far as the regulations go when it comes to flying too."

"Well, it must be nice to be able to fly though....I wish I could...." I sort of mumbled.

"Hey...Mike, if you ever want a lift from me, I'll be more than happy to take you anywhere you want, ok?" The Dragon exclaimed with a smile. I was thrown off a bit, and found myself blushing heavily.

"O-oh...o-ok!" I stuttered back, but in a bit of an excited way since I did find it to be quite the rush when Dracon did fly me to his bowling alley earlier in the day.

"Oh my god...what am I going to do?!?!"

Kumi started looking left and right inside the truck, looking for ANY possible solution to what was going on....but at the same time, this was something he really didn't know how to control. After all, his mate had a scary look in his eyes, ESPECIALLY with the fact that the two were moving in the truck at an alarming speed of almost 100 MPH now.

"What, you don't like this? How bout I just KEEP GOING FASTER, HUH?"

The whale's voice seemed to be getting louder, and the truck just kept going faster at that point...finally passing 100 on the speedometer.

"Someone...PLEASE HELP!!!" Kumi frantically thought, closing his eyes and just holding the seat as tightly as he possibly could.

And just at that moment.....

*THUMP*

"..................."

"H-huh?!?!"

Kumi barely opened his eyes as he felt something hitting the roof....but Gantu didn't seem to notice it as the whale was only focused on the steering wheel.

**** <<<<< (A few seconds earlier)

*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH*

*HHNNGGGGHHH.....UNGHHH*

"Just....need....to..........con....cen...trate.....HNGGHHHH"

*BANG*

****

*FWOOSH*

"HNNNGGG....N-NO....DON'T YOU DARE.....I...WANT...TO BE....IN C-CONT-TROL!!! AGHHH!!!"

*FWOOSH*

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

"AGH!! JESUS CHRIST!!!"

****

"GOT YOU, MOTHER FUCKER"

In less than a few seconds, everything unfolded VERY rapidly both inside the truck and even on top of it.

The whole event was certainly carried out by a side of the mage that no one had seen before, as Emon was able to grab the being that was apparently controlling Gantu, and actually pull him THROUGH the roof of the vehicle. The mage had a strong grasp through his magic that allowed him to hold the demon almost in a physical sort of way, even though the demon itself had no physical traits of its own.

"HNNGG...L-LET GO....." a high pitched voice exclaimed from the mouth of the Demon.

*SCREEEEEEEE*

In a matter of seconds, Emon couldn't support himself any longer at that moment as the truck started steering almost uncontrollably, though at the same time the truck also seemed to slow down quite a bit.

*FWISH*

"AGH!"

"!!!!"

*HNNNG....BANG*

"UNGH"

The mage and demon that was in his grasp couldn't stay balanced on the vehicle, and the two both fell off the truck and onto the grassy median that divided the two sides of the highway. After rolling around on the grass and tumbling for a good several yards, Emon finally regained his composure.

Unfortunately, in the brief time that he took to regain his strength and awareness, he also noticed the demon spirit flying away from him.

"OH NO YOU DON'T." *FWOOSH*

Emon raised his hand out, which emitted a glow from his body because of what he was doing.

****

"Hmmm, what is that guy doing in the middle of the highway?"

"What the....who is that??"

"Mommy, who is that person waving his arms?"

****

A few cars were passing by that had people noticing what Emon was doing.

"Shit....I need to take care of this quickly and get out...people are watching...HNNNG"

****

"Gotta get away.....gotta.....wha....Agh! GAHHH!! STOP IT!!"

****

"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME THIS TIME!"

With a bit of force, Emon was able to use his powers to draw the demon spirit back towards him....in which lead the mage to finally keeping the demon under his control, almost like a spiritual leash.

"LET ME GO, YOU ASSHOLE!" The demon's high pitched voice cried in a muffled sort of way.

"No, you made a lethal mistake, messing with my friends! For that, I will ensure that nothing is left of you!"

*FWISH* *BOOM*

"AGHHHHHHHHHH...."

Emon held the demon spirit into the ground, and released a HUGE blast of energy from his hand into the demon itself, which completely pulverized it into the thin air.

*Pant....Pant*

"...................."

"............Hnngg...damn...I'm t-tired....that really took the energy out of me....hope I have enough to get back to the club...."

As quickly as Emon took out the demon, he was already gone from the scene as well, with no reminiscences of the demon being left behind in the middle of the highway.

****<<<<<<

Meanwhile, back in Gantu's truck after Emon was able to control the situation, chaos was ensuing as the whale was almost losing control of his own truck on the highway while the truck was slowing down rapidly.

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM*

"GANTU, SNAP OUT OF IT!! COME ON! HNNGG!!"

"W-wha....holy...sh-"

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

"GAH!!! SLOW DOWN!!! LOOK OUT!"

"HNNNGGG....AGH....WHAT THE FUCK?!?!!!!"

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

"..............."

".............................."

"............................................"

"......................................................"

*VROOM*

After what felt like an eternity for Kumi, the bear finally realized that the truck was now mostly under control again, as it was now only going 70 on the highway, though the truck itself was still veering over in all sorts of different lanes.

*Pant....pant....*

"W-wha....why am....I driving on the highway?!?!?!"

"Pull over here at this rest stop, n-now!" Kumi yelled out with a bit of fear and hesitation as well, as the truck was approaching a rest stop on the side of the highway.

*VROOM.....VROOM.....vroom*

After finally slowing down and pulling up to a small building that had an information center (which was closed) as well as a few vending machines, Gantu parked his truck, and turned off the engine.

"G-gantu??"

"Y-yeah....?"

It was easy to tell that the bear and whale both felt very awkward talking to each other at that moment, as neither one really wanted to know or even ask what just happened.

Kumi found himself breaking the silence to his mate though.

"A-are you....who I think you are?"

"Ummm...y-yeah, why...............wouldn't I be?"

"W-what's our address....w-where did I use to live? Where did we just drive from??" The bear asked frantically, wanting to make sure he was talking to his mate, and nothing or no one else.

"536 East Street, Hartford, Conneticut....you used to live in Tokyo....and...wait...did we just drive from the bowling alley? Where the hell are we anyway?"

"Thank god! It's definitely you then! I'm....so r-relieved...." Kumi exclaimed as he quickly hugged his mate.

Gantu really didn't know how to react, although he did hug the bear back.

"H-hang on....let's catch our breath here....can you explain what the hell just happened??" Gantu asked.

"You first! You were CLEARLY not acting like yourself! Do....you e-even r-remember anything?!?! What the HELL is going on?!?!" Kumi fiercely replied.

"I remember I was listening to music in our truck.....but....then again....I must've fallen asleep or something.....and I don't remember anything since then....was I like sleepwalking or something??"

"No way, that was CLEARLY not sleepwalking! You were driving frantically and saying things that I KNOW you would never actually do if you were acting yourself!"

"Now that you mention it Kum....my head really hurts....seriously...what....the fuck....happened to me??"

"I think we should both get out of the car and catch our breath a bit..."

"Good idea....wait.....is my truck damaged at all??" Gantu asked, now thinking about what he could've possibly done to his vehicle after all the mayhem.

"Let's check..." Kumi replied, with both the whale and bear getting out of the truck together.

*PANTTTTTTTTTTT*

With a huge sigh of relief from the two of them, the night air clearly was a rejuvenating source of energy for the couple as they started to look at the truck to see if any damage had occurred.

"I didn't run into anything during...my so called....drive, did I?" Gantu asked.

"N-not that I can think of....though I was scared to death with the stuff you were doing!"

"Kumi....you know I would never hurt you....I love you too much to ever let something happen to you while I'm around."

Gantu put his large hand on the bear's shoulder while Kumi looked like he was about to almost cry.

"....I-It's not just me though, did you even realize what you did to the others?!?!"

"W-wait....oh crap....what happened to Mike? Dracon? Junir?!?!" Gantu asked as he frantically stepped back from Kumi for a second as he had to gather his thoughts.

"You ruined Mike's night with how you acted! He shot a perfect game and you took his score sheet and ripped it apart right in front of him as well as Dracon and Junir!!"

"W-WHAT?!?!?!"

"That's right! And then you took off in the truck afterwards and now we're here!"

"W-what the f-fuck?! D-did....I really.....do that?! God....fucking....dammit...HNNNGGG..."

Gantu didn't know what to think now, as he felt his head again while thoughts were now circling through him to no extent.

"Easy Gantu! Calm down! Hey....now let's think for a second here, we left most of our belongings at Chowder's house, right?"

"......"

Gantu didn't respond as he kept holding his head, though he did nod towards his mate in signaling the word "Yes".

"If our stuff is still there, Mike lives right next door, and we can easily talk to him when he comes back to his place!"

"......*Pant*....I.....I guess I have a lot of explaining to do to the others...."

"Come on, I don't see any damage to your truck other than the tires being ridiculously hot, but we should find where we are and head back to Chowder's house and go from there."

"G-guess you're right....but....c-can you drive? I'm just too out of it now....."

"No problem....come on.....let's head back."

With that said, Kumi led his mate back towards the front seats of the truck and helped his mate get in. As the two finally got back onto the road though, neither one of them noticed the large dent that was implanted on the roof of the car where Emon was earlier.

****

Back in Aquin's club, a certain green dragon found himself wandering around one of the hallways in the lower part of the club that was off limits to most of the people.

"Jeez, it's cold tonight...maybe I should put my ja-"

*FWOOSH*

*PANT..........PANT.......PANT......PANT*

"What the hell? What was t-.....EMON!"

*PANT.....PANT*

"Emon! Are you ok? Easy....easy! Let me help you here!"

*COUGH....COUGH* ".....w-wha.....o-oh....Thunder....."

"What happened?!?! Your clothes are all torn up!" the dragon frantically asked as he gave his shoulder to aid Emon back to his room in Aquin's club.

"I....I used up too much e-energy....*COUGH* and I almost....summoned...him...."

As the dragon finally brought Emon back to his room, Thunder had a wide look on his face, which was something he didn't show often.

"..............."

".....You ALMOST summoned him?"

Thunder put his back against the wall and crossed his arms as he watched Emon catch his breath on his bed, though the Dragon was still eager to listen in on what Emon was saying.

"Y-yeah......one of my friends that I was with tonight...well, let's just say that his body was taken over *COUGH* b-by a demon....."

"I don't get why more and more reports of these beings are starting to pop up....this is getting crazy...."

"It definitely is.....*COUGH* B-but....I think some of these...well...demons....are linked together....somehow...."

"....How so?" Thunder asked.

"I don't really know, but I know that Aquin fought one earlier today....and I fought not one, but TWO of them tonight. Then again, I couldn't tell if it was the same one that I ended up fighting."

Emon finally looked like he was gaining most of his strength back as he drank some water that Thunder gave to him.

"I think that we're going to have to have a group discussion on this matter.....but then again, I have no idea when Aquin is coming back...."

"Oh yeah, speaking of Aquin....I think he's not going to be around here for a little while...."

"Huh? Why not?"

"Seems like he found himself a love interest.....and the two of them are going to be housesitting for a couple of their friends since their friends are heading out to the opposite end of the country.

"......."

"............."

"...................Aquin....found.........himself..........someone?...........Wow...... I can only imagine how he's acting around whoever it is that he's with....I'd pay to see it!" Thunder joked.

"I wouldn't let Aquin hear that if I were you, he really seems attached to Quetzal."

"So....the gator has a soft spot...I'm loving it! Anyway, you need to get some rest Emon."

"Yeah, I will. 'Night Thunder, and thanks again."

"No Prob."

*CLICK*

As Thunder closed the door to Emon's room in the basement of Aquin's special club...the Dragon took a few steps away from the room....and couldn't hold it back any further.

"GAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OH MY GOD....THE OTHERS HAVE GOT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS!"

****

"YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT....25 PORT ROAD"

"So how well did I drive Mike?" the red dragon asked me as he pulled his car into my driveway, with both of us getting out of the vehicle itself.

"No problems that I noticed, though this day feels like it's been the longest one I've experienced in quite a while."

"I'll say...it feels more like a week compared to a day since we stayed at Chowder's house next door."

"Yeah, definitely. Anyway, do you wanna come inside?"

"Uhhh...not so sure that's a good idea, seems like all the lights are off, and I'm guessing your family is sleeping by now."

"Good point I guess. It is almost midnight now that you mention it." I replied to the tall dragon as I looked at the time on my phone while the two of us walked up to the front door of my house.

"Well, I guess I'm gonna head back home. You have your keys to get inside, right?"

"Yep, got em' right here in my bag."

"Perfect."

At that moment, I found myself blushing a bit when I started speaking. My heart beat became faster...and at that moment...I almost stuttered a bit as the words came out.

"Hey...D-Dracon...."

"Yeah Mike?"

"T-thanks for everything today....I had a lot of fun with everything we did together as a group."

"Awww, well thanks Mike. It was definitely awesome to see you hit a perfect game at my bowling center!"

"H-heh, yeah. We definitely need to do this again sometime."

"Absolutely. You truly are one of the nicest people I've met."

Dracon put his large hand on my shoulder, and I could only smile back at what he had to say to me.

"T-thanks Dracon...you're also a great friend to have." I replied.

"Awwww...thanks Mike...."

Next thing you know, Dracon put both of his arms around me as we gave each other a hug, signaling that we were much closer than we had been before. I liked the Dragon quite a lot, and I was happy to have him there with me as I was ready to crash for the night at my place.

After a good several seconds, we broke our hug with each other, and I finally walked up to my doorsteps.

"If you want Mike, give me a call. Here's my number."

"Now that you mention it, I'm surprised we never did exchange numbers even though I have Junir's new number."

With a few beeps and button presses on our phones, our numbers were now logged in to each other's phones, and it was finally time for Dracon to head off.

"Alright mike, see ya later!"

"See ya Dracon!" I exclaimed, as I finally unlocked my door and walked inside.

With that said, I was finally home....after one of the most thrilling/surprising/unexpected/happy days of my life.

And yet at that moment....I happened to look down...and didn't even notice that a certain body part of mine was fully up.

"O-oh s-shit! I h-hope Dracon didn't see this!" I thought to myself as I blushed again while I walked inside to my living room. All the lights were off, and I could hear snoring in one of the rooms near me, which was my parents' bedroom.

"Guess they are all asleep...." I whispered to myself as I crept to my own room, quickly settling in for the night.

After getting changed and finally getting into my bed...it felt quite nice to finally be able to get some rest for once knowing that the day ended quite well, even though there were still certain things that wouldn't escape my mind.

"What a long day...I wonder what will happen tomorrow...." I thought to myself.

I then realized...that I was spending the night alone again in terms of sleeping.

*Sigh* "I wish someone could be here with me...." I then mumbled. And it was at that moment that I couldn't help but think of the others......Tony....Sully....Ord....Chowder....and especially.... Junir & Dracon.

"I wonder....how I....can tell Dracon.....how I feel....Junir...you're one lucky Lion." I barely uttered to myself as my eyes finally closed, and I drifted off to sleep.

****

"Come on...why the hell is he taking so fucking long?!?!?!" *BANG*

Tony furiously punched the wall as he kept waiting near the outside of the police station along with Michael, though the two both knew they had to stay out of hindsight, and not draw any attention to themselves whatsoever. Several hours had passed since the phone call with Aquin earlier in the night, and Tony was really becoming impatient with the whole situation.

"You know...I really hope that no news got out as far as what happened to you Tony..."

"I really hope not....ugh...I need to get some sleep....it's just been such a long day...."

"I agr- hey....look!"

"......."

After noticing a certain vehicle pulling up to the front of the police station, both Tigers seemed to be pretty relieved after seeing what was near them.

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

".....FINALLY....."

Both Tony and Michael officially walked out of the police station and down the stairs outside the building itself, which ultimately followed with Aquin and Quetzal getting out of the car themselves.

"Thank god you guys came....we better get out of here before any reporters come and..."

*SLAP*

"................."

"HEY! What the fuck was that for?!?!?!"

Before Tony could finish saying everything to Aquin, the Gator furiously slapped the Tiger right across the face, which ultimately made Quetzal and Michael widen their eyes after seeing the Gator act the way he did.

"Aquin, what the fuck?!"

"You listen to me REALLY carefully Tony, and I want you to listen good, YOU GOT THAT?"

"W-whoa....o-ok....w-what do you want??" Tony replied, as both the Gator and Tiger each showed a side of each other that no one had seen often.... Which was rage, and fear.

"I have gone through enough trouble because of you, dealt with bullshit that I don't have the energy nor patience for, and for once, feel like this should be YOUR responsibility, and not mine!"

The Tiger didn't say anything back, and kept his distance while Aquin kept raising his voice louder, and louder.

"And do you REALLY think that I'm going to allow this stuff to continue? You mark my words Tony, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AGAIN."

"W-what do you mean?" Tony asked back, though he really didn't know what else to say at that moment.

"I'm going to MAKE SURE that you are prepared for these types of things so that you don't need my help, because....well, look at you! You're strong, in shape, and you also have special abilities."

"Wait....what?"

"You don't realize it, but I can sense it in you. Hang on.....let's get in the car and head back.....I think we're drawing too much attention here."

The four seemed to notice a few more vehicles slowing passing by the police station, and the four knew that it was time to leave before anyone else started looking their way.

As Michael, Tony, Quetzal, and Aquin all got into the one car that Aquin drove to the station, the conversation quickly resumed as the Gator fired up his car, and quickly got out of the area.

"So what do you mean....special powers??" Tony asked again.

"Like I said....you simply don't realize that you have it....I'm going to have to teach you a few things...."

".....U-uh....o-ok...." Tony replied in a very confused state of mind. Michael took notice to this, and quickly brought up another issue to Aquin.

"Aquin...I need to ask you something....."

"Hm?"

"Well....Tony and I discussed it....and I think we wanna stay at my house.....I think it would be the safest place to go for now."

"That's fine....where is your place though? I need to find out where I'm going."

"Uhhh...do you have a GPS system? I don't see one...." Michael asked.

"Don't worry....I know what I'm doing."

"O-ok....well I have 2 homes....but one is in Rochester on the other end of the state, so we should just go to my other house in Staten Island. It's at 118 Ebony Drive.

"Got it. We'll be there soon."

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

With that said, Aquin's vehicle roared through the streets late into the night. Tony couldn't help himself but wonder what Aquin meant though as the car headed back to Michael's house.

****

It was now 1:00 AM, and everyone was finally starting to call it a night at Marco & Duco's warehouse.

*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG*

".....Ugh...who the fuck is calling this late?"

The disgruntled & tired Tiger pulled out his phone, and didn't even hesitate when he answered it.

*CLICK*

"What the fuck do you want?"

"Marco....easy....it's Jamie."

"Oh....Jamie. I'm assuming you're calling me to tell me ONLY one thing, right?"

"Yeah. That asshole human is dead. No snitchin' on his part to worry about."

"Good, good. Now you're coming around. Matter of fact....where are you now?"

"Not far from the city, just grabbing some stuff to eat now. You guys still *BEEP* working at the warehouse?"

"Ugh...yeah...hang on...I have another call coming in, I'll call you *BEEP* back if I need you Jamie."

"Got it."

*CLICK* *BEEP* "HELLO?"

"M-marco....it's me again."

"QUANTUM....WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING ME?!?!"

"H-hang on Marco...just let me explain myself!"

"WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN?!"

"I KNOW that I won't fuck up for you again if you let me come back. Come on Marco, I need another shot at this. I fucked up once, but I've come a LONG way since then. You're going to see a new side of me that will make my old self look laughable!"

"Pfft....and how am I supposed to believe.....hang on...wait...give me a sec here...."

At that moment....the white tiger put down his cell phone and started thinking for a couple of seconds.....which ultimately lead to an idea popping up in his head. The tiger emitted a small grin from his face, and picked up the phone again.

"Quantum?"

"Y-yeah?"

"You know what, I'll give you another chance, but I'm going to really put your so called "skills" to the test. You got that?"

"Oh believe me, I won't let you down."

"Yeah, we'll see. I want you to come down to my warehouse right now. Understood?"

"Got it. Where is it?"

" It's at ** ******* ***********, here in ******** ****."

"Oh ok...I think I know where that is, I definitely know that area of the city. Be there in an hour."

"Good." *CLICK*

"Now....to let the fun begin....hehehe...."

*BEEP....BEEP....BEEP........*

*BRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG......* *BRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG.....*

"Hello?"

"Yo Jamie."

"Oh hey Marco.

"You busy?"

"Nope, just got some grub and about to crash for the night. You was saying something about the warehouse? So you guys still running everything smoothly?"

"Yeah....things are fine here. Enough of that though. Jamie?"

"What?"

"I think I need to have you test something for me....I'll hook you up with something you'll value more than anything if you can help me out."

"Yeah, no sweat. Not too far from the city anyway. Be there in like 45."

"Good, see you soon."

*CLICK*

"I've needed a source of entertainment for awhile....looks like I'm finally getting it tonight! HAHAHA!"

*****

TO BE CONTINUED!
