The Life and Times of Brandon Firestone Part 4

_ _

Brandon kept licking at K.C.'s face, covering the small human boy in werewolf drool.

"Okay Brandon, cut it out!" K.C. said as he tried pushing the red werewolf off of him.

"W-What the hell," Shane shouted. "K.C. what is going on here?"

"I don't know? One minute we were talking about the moon and the next Brandon is a werewolf and licking me to death." K.C. said as Brandon finally left him and went for Shane and Carina.

Brandon approached them on all fours and began sniffing them. He then gave both of them a lick, Shane one and Carina several.

"B-Brandon, what's gotten into you?!" Carina asked as she pushed the big red wolf away.

Brandon simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Wait, you can understand us?" Shane asked.

Brandon nodded.

"Maybe he learned how to control himself better," Carina said. "As a werewolf all his senses and animal instincts are just heightened. Can you talk?"

Brandon opened his mouth but only several growling sounds came out. He shook his head and turned towards the window.

"Hey Red, where do you think you're going?" Shane said.

Brandon approached the window and began howling at the moon. He then leapt from the window and landed on a nearby house and kept going heading towards the city.

"You know Judy it can be pretty dangerous out here if you're not careful." Todd said as he stopped the car at the red light.

"Thanks for the advice Todd, but I can handle myself just fine." Judy said staring off into the distance just to avoid looking at her partner.

"I'm serious; nobody has seen a werewolf in a while. I know you already have experience with demons, warlocks, and ghost. But a werewolf is a new level of danger."

"How about you lecture me on how dangerous it is when we actually see a werewolf."

As if on cue a blood red werewolf appeared on the hood of the car and then leapt off crawling up the nearby wall.

Judy and Todd stared at each other for a quick second.

"Call it!"

****

Brandon felt amazing, now that he was actually conscious of what he was doing he felt absolutely incredible. He was so strong and fast he was having the time of his life.

As he landed on another building he stopped for a minute to howl at the moon again. That's when his ears picked up a low crackling sound from behind him.

Brandon ducked as a shard of ice went zoomed over his head. Turning around he saw two humans behind him. One was a brown haired human with light blue eyes and ice forming around his hands. The other was female with short raven colored hair and brown eyes. From their uniforms Brandon could tell they were part of the S.N.T.

"Alright fuzz ball," Todd said. "Come quietly and we won't hurt you."

Brandon had no intention of going with them. He ran towards the side of the roof preparing to jump. But an invisible force held him down. Turning his head he noticed a purple light coming from the female's hands and the same on his body.

"Telekinetic powers," Brandon thought.

He let out a loud growl and a wave of heat erupted from his body knocking both officers down and releasing him from the woman's powers.

Brandon leapt towards the other building and the next until he couldn't see the two officers anymore. He stopped on top of the roof of the mall.

"I need to get back home." Brandon thought.

Just then a bright light shined on him. Brandon looked up and saw a helicopter hovering above him. He then heard footsteps, many footsteps. He looked in horror as he saw at least a dozen officers all wearing the S.N.T. uniforms and pointing various guns, weapons, and spells on him. At the center of the group was a German Shepard, Commander Cyan, K.C.'s father.

"There's nowhere to run lycan, you're completely surrounded." Cyan said.

He was right too; all the officers had formed a circle around Brandon. Brandon didn't want to fight, but he also didn't want to be arrested either, or killed.

Just then a loud and bone chilling howl was heard from the other building to the side. Brandon looked and to his surprise he saw three other werewolves. Of course it was no surprise as to who they were.

The Grey werewolf with glowing golden eyes was Velocity, the brown werewolf with glowing blue eyes was Marcus, and the biggest of them, the black one with glowing purple eyes was his father.

"Kill them Brandon," A voice in his head said. "You have the power, just do it."

Brandon realized it was his father and shook his head wildly. "No! I don't want to kill anyone!"

"Uh, look bro. It's either you or them and I'm pretty sure you don't want to get shot." Velocity said.

"No! I won't kill them!"

"If you don't then I will," Marcus said. "I'll start with the dog, so what's it going to be?"

"No!!!" A wave of heat erupted from Brandon as a geyser of fire surrounded him.

"What the hell?!" Commander Cyan yelled. "All water and ice users put out that fire!"

In a quick second everyone who could were using water and ice attacks but they all evaporated before they could get close enough to the geyser.

"Damn it, somebody scan him. Give me a power level and the source."

"S-Sir!" A young grey mouse said as he approached the German Sheppard. "The source of the power is magical, but the level... its level 10!"

Commander Cyan's eyes widened. Level 10 was the highest power of magic in the world. No spell caster in the entire S.N.T. was near that level, it would take a life time of training unless one went through the right amount of experience. He couldn't rely on mutants either because their powers stopped at level 5.

The heat brought Commander Cyan back from his thoughts. The fire had grown intense. The fire was already licking at his feet. "Everyone fall back, get to a safe distance." Everyone did as they were told and evacuated the rooftop leaving the blood red werewolf in his tornado of fire. "Somehow we have to stop him."

****

"Whoa, he's like a walking volcano," Velocity said. As he shifted back to his normal form and reached for his sunglasses. "Seriously, it's like being next to the sun."

"Should he be that powerful?" Marcus asked. "I know what he is, but when my life was in danger my powers didn't rise that fast."

"I know," his father said. "His powers have spiked, but if he doesn't gain control soon, he could burn this whole city."

****

Fire, there was fire everywhere. This place, he had been here before. Brandon rose from the ground. Looking around it seemed like the whole world was on fire, yet he was perfectly fine.

"Back again?"

Brandon whirled around and saw a huge monstrous figure with glowing green eyes covered in flames.

"W-Who are you?" Brandon asked.

The figure looked at Brandon in confusion but then suddenly rose. He walked towards Brandon until he was right in front of him.

"You honestly don't remember?" The figure asked. "I'm fire, I'm you."

"W-What!? What do you mean by that?" Brandon asked.

Fire rolled his eyes. "I. Am. You. Your lycan side. Your strength, your courage, and for the moment the keeper of your fire."

"Wait, what do you mean by that?"

"I've been in the far corners of your soul since you were born. I kept your powers dormant until your father released me. Now let's burn these pathetic specks."

"What!? No! You can't just kill all those people."

"Oh and who's going to stop me, the little dog?" Fire raised his paw and slammed it down on Brandon. Brandon struggled under his lycan's side paw but it was no use.

"Let me go!" Brandon shouted.

"Look," Fire said.

Brandon craned his head towards the direction Fire was looking and saw that the S.N.T. had brought some kind of canon and from the looks of it a Cryo Cannon, designed to deal with high level fire elemental beings.

"If you don't let me in control they just might kill us."

"I don't care; I rather die than kill another person!" Brandon yelled as he tried to push the large flaming paw off of him.

"Just obey like the dog you are! The more we struggle the more wild our body acts, like when we attacked our father. We're supposed to obey his orders."

"I don't care about him," Brandon said as his eyes burned green. "He's strong enough to take care of himself. Shane, my mom, K.C., Carina. This is my body now give it back!!!"

****

"Power up the cannon!" Commander Cyan barked.

"What level sir?" A rabbit asked.

"Level 9, I doubt anything less will get past the heat. We have to end this now."

****

Brandon slowly pushed the paw off of him, surprising fire as he started to lose control of their body.

"How are you... doing this? I should be in control!?" Fire shouted.

"I won't let you hurt anyone! It's because of you I hurt Shane and I almost hurt Carina!" Brandon finally overpowered his alter ego. "Look I'll accept that you're me, but I won't hurt innocent people. Give me control over our body and our powers."

Fire had a look of hate in his eyes but he submitted. In a flash he turned into pure fire and engulfed Brandon.

****

"Cannon is fully charged Commander!"

"Good, let's hope to the Creator this works," Commander Cyan said. "Alright ready, aim..."

Before Commander Cyan could finish the fire suddenly stopped. Everyone looked in confusion as the pillar of fire slowly died down and disappeared, leaving nothing but scorch marks.

****

Brandon sat on the edge of a building looking up at the night sky. He never dreamed he could ever be this powerful and after the trouble he caused with the S.N.T. he knew he could never tell anyone now.

"Hey there hot shot."

Brandon turned around to see Velocity, Marcus, and his father.

"So, you didn't kill them after all," Velocity said as he put his arms around Brandon. "I'm proud of ya bro."

"Thanks V," Brandon said in a low voice. He then stood up and faced his father. "Why am I so powerful?"

"Does it matter?" His father responded. "You have the power to destroy anything you want, you should be grateful."

"You..." Brandon suddenly felt light headed, his eyes traveled to the sky and then he collapsed on the roof.

"Stupid mutt, he over did it" Marcus said.

"Well, it was an impressive show," Their father said. "Velocity, take him home."

"Why me?"

"Because I said so."

"But he's..." One look at his father told Velocity that he would lose this argument. "Fine."

****

"Okay, now I'm getting worried." Carina said as he paced through Brandon's room.

She, Shane, and K.C. had saw the news and saw what Brandon had did in the city they all just hoped he was alright.

"Maybe I should call my dad and see if they have him." K.C. said.

"Don't bother," Everyone looked towards the window and saw a grey furred wolf with Brandon slumped over his shoulders.

"Who the hell are you!?" Shane said already taking a fighting stance.

"I'm Velocity, but you can just call me V." Velocity said as he placed Brandon on his bed.

"Velocity? You're Brandon's half brother?" Carina said.

"Yeah, well I'll catch ya'll later. Keep an eye on Brandon will ya?" Velocity said as he leapt out of the window and into the night.

Everyone then turned their attention to Brandon who was sound asleep on the bed. In an awkward way.

K.C. was the only person who spoke. "Why is Brandon naked?"

****

Water, the young anthro girl was under water and in front of her was a great wolf with glowing red eyes. She swam towards the wolf and touched her.

****

"Alexis, Alexis Aqua wake up!"

The blue furred wolf awoke from her strange dream and met the face of her human teacher, who didn't look very pleased.

"Care to explain yourself, Ms. Aqua?"

"Uh, explain what?" Alexis said.

"How you managed to flood my classroom in your sleep!"

Alexis looked around and saw that the class was indeed soaking wet and that her hand had water circling around it.

"I guess because I'm an elemental."
