#4 of Ending the world


J opened his eyes. He blinked and looked around collecting information of his surroundings. He took notice of how he was in the folf's room and his body was resting on the folf's bed. He lloked down to see the folf and a certain leopard lying on top of him next to eachother cuddling in their sleep. Heleaned up and shifted his body making the two furs on him slide off onto the warm bed under him allowing him to stand up. He remembered that he was stark naked and found a pair of pants to slip on his legs so he could leave them room without unwarranted stares.

He closed the door to the folf's room slowly behind him slowly letting the two sleep more as he walked back to his room to get his uniform and a few things used to shower and get ready for the day. Walking into the bathroom he took notice that someone else was already in the showers humming to themselves quietly. His ears perked seeming to be entranced by the song drawing him closer to find out who it was.

Peeking through the curtain J noticed that it was the white wolf that he and his friends had befriended only yesterday. A smile came to his lips watching the wolf wash his long strands of head fur that seemed to cover his whole back and then some. Not wanting to draw attention to himself J went back to what he was doing and went into the shower next to the other wolf so he could listen to the soft humming. The song was familiar, but he couldn't place where he had heard it from.

J showered himself fast wanting to get out of the bathroom before Tsuki did hoping to not get caught eavesdropping on the young wolf's song. He turned of the stream of water drying himself off and bolted out the door pulling on his pants, struggling with his shirt as always. He headed to the cafeteria with his grumbling stomach warning him of it's endless need for food it seemed. He bruskly walked through the halls thinking back to the song. It was quite familiar to him, but he couldn't pinpoint it in his memory where he might have heard it before.

Finally Making it to the cafeteria, J grabbed a cup of coffee and decided to go with his usual of cereal in chocolate milk deciding on some brand that made little shapes, like cubes and spheres, out of it's flakes. He sat down at the usual table that he sat at everyday he was here. But before he could even put the first spoonful into his muzzle a quiet shadow passed by him and sat acrossed the table. There behind a tray of waffles with strawberries and whip cream sat the white wolf. Plastered on his face was this smile that had an expression he couldn't quite read, but he lost his appetite then and there by just looking at the smaller wolf.

"Good morning," said J trying to play the 'What's going on? I'm confused' card. "Did you sleep well?" He fidgeted a little, his tail trying to curl under the chair and between his legs.

"I slept perfectly fine thanks," Tsuki said not faultering or moving to eat his breakfast, "It is a fine morning isn't it? In fact, I could see a lovely full moon this morning. Did you see it too? I hope you enjoyed it." The white wolf took a bite of his waffles licking the strawberry juice dripping from his lips.

"I'm so busted for peeking aren't I? Just cut to the chase quick. I can take it."

"Oh you have no idea. You'll be getting your punishment later I WILL make sure of that," the black wolf gulped while pushing his cereal away not hungry anymore. He slumped down into his folding arms sulking. "So where are Essex and Blake? Are they running late or something? Then again we don't have anything to rush to for quite some time huh?"

"Well Ess had some errands to run I'm sure and Blake probably just wants to sleep after all the fun you two apparently had yesterday. I'm actually a little surprised you were up so early myself. Why is that?" The white wolf just stared off into space for a moment.

"I'm used to not sleeping much sometimes. Plus I'm a little excited about today. I had taken a shower last night, but I took one this morning after spilling some ink all over my fur. Yuck! it doesn't smell very pretty if you ask me." he made a face showing his disgust for it. "But now I can make tattoos if you guys still want them, and other things of course." J perked an ear at the way Tsuki had phrased the last part.

"Hehe. Do you think we could get started on my tattoo then since we aren't doing anything except waiting for the other two to show up?" The other wolf nodded and smiled picking up his tray and disposing of it. "I was also wondering about how this whole tattoo thing worked exactly?"

"Well basically I just tattoo the crest onto your skin and there you go. It's not like there's a ceremony or anything. Well I guess I could throw one together if thats what you guys want, but it's completely irrelevent." The two furs walked down the campus halls, one more eagerly than the other, trying to get to the dorms so they could commence with their going ons.

Reaching the dorms, Tsuki, ushered J into his room and placed him on a stool. There on the desk were the tools used for what was to happen. As J looked around the room he noticed that it was pretty bare. He almost made a comment on that when he remembered that the other wolf had just gotten here and probably didn't have much time to unpack.

"Okay I need you to strip down naked for me and stand in the corner," the white wolf ordered. J nodded and did so a little confused, but who was he to judge how this whole thing worked. He could here the other fur putting on gloves and soon he felt a cold creamy like substance being massaged into his fur and skin. He shivered lightly relaxing into the touch.

"Don't worry about it being cold. This stuff warms up soon," Tsuki said nonchalantly as he began to rub the stuff all over the black wolf. When he finished he stepped back nodding at his work. Sure enough, J began to feel his body warm up considerably. In fact it began to get really hot in the room. Almost like he was about to burst into flames all over his skin. He whined a little showing his discomfort at the feeling. "Oh don't worry about that. That's just the cream getting into your roots so that your hair will fall out!!" The white wolf said this with a really big smile on his face bursting out into laughter as J took a look of shock on his.

"M-m-m-my fur?!" J looked about in a panic. He felt like he was on fire and now he was going to lose all his fur? He tried to get the cream off, but sure enough as he started to move his fur fell in huge clumps onto the floor. This made him only move faster, but to his dismay all his fur had fallen off and he was now one very pink, if not red from im blushing, wolf.

"Come sit down on the stool so we can begin. I have a lot of work that needs to be done and little time to do it in," ordered Tsuki. He motioned for the bigger wolf over and sit down while he prepped the needle.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A few hours later and in the cafeteria for lunch sat Essex and Blake. They were talking about getting their tattoos, and also about how cool it would be to use the Senku. Their chit chat came to a stop when they saw J enter the big room smiling happily, his fur had grown back, with his tail wagging about. Behind him was Tsuki who was grinning from ear to ear tail wagging like the happy pup that he was.

"Well now. Look at you two. You guys look like who had some fun eh?" said the folf raising a brow, "Did you guys do anything daring? Hmmmm??" The leopard rolled his eyes and smacked the folf over the head.

"Oh please. Not everything has to be about Touchy-Looky-Nooky!!!" said Blake wiping his paws. He had had a rough morning with Essex. Waking up from a really good dream by the aforementioned fur groping him in his sleep. This had put him in a bit of a grumpy mood.

"To be frank I had fun getting my tattoo while you guys were off doing who knows what," said J rubbing his back loving the feel of his fur on his paw. It had taken him by surprise how fast his fur grew back once Tsuki had finished applying the tattoo. The 'marvel of the cream' was his reply when he asked. Who was he to care though? He got his fur back no problem, and he even got in a few hours of training with his new abilities before lunch.

"WHAT?! You got yours already???" whined Blake. He looked even more downcast than before. "Aw, man!!! I wanted to get mine first..." Essex nodded in agreement looking a little upset too.

"Well if you two want them then we can go to my room and I'll give them to you both." Tsuki smiled still wagging his tail. His stomach growled at that point making him falter. "But can it wait till after lunch? Eh heh heh... heh..." Essex and Blake laughed as the white wolf ran off to get some food.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

While J had decided to run off and try out his new powers more, Essex and Blake were busy getting the rub down with the fur removal cream. They had luckily been told about it in advance and were laughing at how eachother looked without their furry coats to cover their skin. The naked leopard was one thing, but to see how thin the folf's tails really were made everyone burst out laughing as they looked at nine stick like protrusions wagging about.

Essex said he wanted to go first so he didn't have to look the way he did much longer. Blake protested, but in the end gave in to the folf's whining. This then lead to the dormitory halls echoing his howls and wails of pain much to not only the dismay of the inhabitants of the room, but also anyone trying to study or just relax between their freetime.

Finally Blake got his turn and he even fell asleep somewhat to the feeling of the needles buzzing against him. Essex was in a corner pouting, but non the less happy that he could start using the Senku whenever he wanted. Blake yipped when he felt some minor discomfort from the needle hitting a soft spot, but continued relaxing as he sat their. Tsuki was too deep in concentration to notice and just kept slowly going about his work.

When the white wolf had finished and admired his work, both coats of the naked furs grew back, properly dressed, and all the supplies, tools, and fur cleaned up, they went to go meet J back in the training facility.

As they arrived they noticed that the place smelled a little funny and there was smoke wafting through the air. Tsuki made a face and dashed off to were the smoke was coming from. Blake and Essex ran after him exchanging looks of confusion entering into the practice field.

"J! J! I told you to just use that one attack until you got better!!!" shrieked the white wolf who was standing in front of burning targets the black wolf had been practicing with. "You could seriously burn the place down!!! Just because you can use the fire doesn't mean it's NOT going to harm you too if it gets out of control!!!" The black wolf looked silly with his ears splayed and head bowed down as he got scolded by the smaller wolf. Blake couldn't help giggling nudging the folf in the side. Essex meanwhile was astounded by the destruction that J had created.

"Ess! Could you come here please?" The white wolf signaled for the folf to stand next to him. "I guess we will start with you since I gave you a water-based crest. I had a feeling this would happen." He glared at J who went to go stand next to Blake who was now rolling over laughing.

"Okay! So how does this work?" asked Essex scratching at his ear, "I just move my arms about and say some magic words like when you use MyTe-Orbs?" Tsuki tilted his head to the side confused. "You've never heard of MyTe-Orbs?"

"No I've just.... never used one before. I never took the class, " Tsuki smiled sheepishly. "I didn't need to seeing as how I'm an Infuria."

"Well MyTe-Orbs or Mystical Technology Orbits, are basically a scientifically engineered type of 'magic' that was created so that we could be able to defend ourselves against monsters and the like. They hook up into your circuit and then you just start chanting the spell after selecting the orbit to well... orbit you and it draws in the excess energy from your body and surrounding elements to make the spell spell come into fruition. Many students here have at least a base set of MyTe-Orbs to learn with, and are encouraged to keep them uploaded into our circuits at all times in case of an emergency. Many soldiers in the military are regulated a base set of certain types so that they can attack, defend, or even heal if the need arrises." The white wolf blinked and checked his circuit noticing that he did in fact have a few MyTe-Orbs uplinked to it.

"Well okay then," he said checking the options out, "Well I'll have you show me them later. First off I want you to put out J's fire if you could please. All you have to do is think of the crest, concentrate on how you want it to work, and then release it's power onto the flames." The folf closed his eyes holding his paws out. "Just let yourself trust in your own abilities. Think about the water coming forth and hitting the targets. The name of the spell will come to you instantly." Sure enough the tattoo on the folf's back began to glow through his clothing and energy started producing itself infront of the folf's paws. He seemed deep in concentration, like he was about to drop a big one.

"Pressure!!!" The folf opened his eyes shouting the spell and the energy released into five streams of water that shot out like tentacles that all converged onto one of the target dummies. Essex looked shocked at what he just did. He stood there for a moment thinking about what he just did without any real thought to his actions. His face cracked into a smile before he started jumping up and down shouting in joy.

"That was amazing Ess!" Tsuki congratulated. "Why don't you keep practicing that spell on the rest of the fire while I get Blake started." And with that, The white wolf left the folf to keep dousing the fire and walked over to the eager leopard.

"Okay so I heard what needs to ahppen and stuff so I think I got it, but now I just need to know what kind of crest you gave me." Tsuki laughed at how intense and rushing the leopard could be.

"Well I gave you all universal tattoos so you can use whatever element you wanted." Tsuki began. "But it's usually best to just focus on one for the time being so since you seem to like long ranged attacks... Why not try a simple wind spell?" The leopard nodded and held his paws close to his chest deep in concentration. Again the tattoo, this time on his arm, began to glow and the energy started to appear in between his paws.

"Wind Scar!!!" The energy dispersed and soon a small whirlwind seemed to appear under a target dummy until a blade of wind pressure shot up from under it sending it high into the air with a flurry of cuts all over it's body before it plummeted back down. Blake too began to jump for joy and started right back up sending the poor dummy into the air over and over again.

Tsuki smiled and walked over to J who was sitting down relaxing for a moment. The black wolf smiled back and patted the seat next to him. The white wolf obliged by taking the seat happily.

"They look like children who just got a new toy." J commented not really looking at Tsuki. He got a simple grunt in response making him look over and see what the white wolf could be busy with.

"I don't think I like these 'MyTe-Orbs," Tsuki started, "I don't think it's right that they suck up energy from other living things to invoke their power. It just doesn't seem right." J quirked an eyebrow. "Besides... These things were really created to protect everyone in case the infuria were to attack from the north. We were driven out of our lands and thrown up into high sector, because of these things."

"I wouldn't blame you I guess," J replied, "But at least you know better than to blame the people who use them. I mean, the people who use them for protecting themselves I should say. Not the ones who would use them for power."

"Sadly, they are correct in thinking that the Infuria would attack. There are some who want revenge for what happened to our ancestors. I have even lost a close group of friends, because I joined The Acadamy." The white wolf's ears splayed.

"Aw it's ok. You've got us now so there is no need to worry. We'll look out for eachother. No sweat, eh?" J wrapped a large arm around the smaller wolf pulling him into a hug as they both chuckled.

"Thanks J. That means a lot. And I just want to say that-"

"HEY!!! HERETICS!!!" A loud roar came from up on the track were people could watch or do laps around the whole training facility.
