The Beast Within
With the loss of Azriel, morale was low. Metana did her best, putting up a smile and trying to enjoy the world, though it was hard.
Shin was inventing, Jade was lounging, and Ruby was singing songs to Victor's guitar tunes.
Davy most of his time on the mast of the Wicked Wench or locked in his Captain's quarters, clearly distancing himself as he tries to train and evolve his power even further. But the loss of Azriel, the guilt, it was weighing on him.
Level 3 was now becoming too difficult to activate, let alone maintain.
The only one who seemed to notice was Tiga, who had a keen eye for these kinds of things.
(VRRRRBRRRRrrrr)
Davy: Tch!
The mast bent down, lowering Davy to Jade.
Davy: What?
Jade: I just realized I never asked... Or should I say, now is the best time to ask...
He hops off the mast, as it straightens out.
Jade: I know the situation was... Not ideal... But what was it like meeting your father?
Davy:....
Davy: DON'T TELL ME KAI IS MY-
(Smack)
Jade:(facepalms) The PINK-HAIRED man who saved you, Davy-Baby.
Davy: That guy?
Jade: Yes! He's your father.
Davy:...
Davy:(shrugs) I don't care.
He turns around, but Jade quickly trips him with one leg and raises the other to catch him with both of her legs. Davy crosses his arms, not pleased.
Jade: Your father came to save you.
Davy: Uh-huh.
Jade: So you know, he does-
Davy: I don't have any issues with my old man. So if you don't mind...
He leaps to his feet.
Davy: I have some more training to... Do...?
Davy: Uhhh... Land ho, 5 degrees Starboard?
Everyone turns their attention slightly to the right of the front of the ship, to find a large island in the direction of night. It followed the moon, flying across the air like their ship.
Metana: Wow! What is that?
Tiga:!!
Ruby: It looks to be following the moon...
Metana: Can we check it out?
Davy:... Sure. I guess. Wick, change course to that island.
(Opening Theme)
The moon was blocked out by clouds, as the Wanted Dead crew got closer to the mysterious flying island.
Davy was currently the only one on deck, still training. He was soon joined by Tiga.
Tiga: Captain...?
Davy: Hm? Oh, hey Tiga. Never seen you awake for at this time...
Davy: You need something?
Tiga: I... I was... Uhmm...
Tiga: You're struggling with training. Do you want help?
Davy: Nah. I'm fine.
Tiga: Oh... Okay...
Davy: Is there something else?
Tiga:... I uhm... I know that island...
Davy: You do? What's the deal with it then?
Tiga: I don't know... It's just not the best pl-
Tiga: P...p...p...
Davy: Tiga?
The clouds parted revealing the full moon, to Tiga. Her eyes of course immediately gazed upon it causing a transformation to begin.
Davy: Hey, Tiga? What's wrong?
He attempts to place a hand on her but is immediately shocked by her Electro.
Tiga: Grrrrr!
Her teeth grew sharper, as her muscles grew larger, and her fur longer.
(Riiiiip)
Her clothes were torn to shreds, as Tiga entered her "Sulong" form, thanks to her Mink biology in the presence of the full moon.
Tiga: NYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!!!
(KRACKAKOOOOOM)
(Tiga: Sulong form)
Her eyes turned red as she roared as loud as thunder, whilst electricity bursts into the air.
This awoke everyone on the ship.
Davy: Tiga-
(BAM)
He was smashed through the deck of the ship.
Tiga: RAAAAAHHHHH!!
Victor: What's going on here?!
He and the rest arrived on the main deck to find an unrecognizable version of Tiga who attacked them the moment she noticed them.
Victor:!
Without wasting a second, Victor draws his gun from the hip and opens fire.
(BANG, BANG)
Tiga moves so fast, that the bullets seemingly phase through her.
(SLAM)
Victor is slammed through a door. And as she glares at Shin, Ruby, and Metana, Jade clicks her tounge.
Jade: Tch!
Grabbing her by the hair, Jade throws her towards the other side of the ship.
Jade:(glares) You made a grave mistake damaging this ship.
Davy climbs out of the hole in the deck.
Davy: Stop! It's Tiga!
Jade: Uh-huh.
Tiga closes the distance and punches Jade across the face, only for Tiga's head to be flicked to the side.
Tiga: RAHHHHH!
She claws at Jade, but claw wounds only appear on Tiga herself.
Jade:(cracks knuckles)
Tiga creates a large sphere of electricity, but Jade doesn't allow her to use it. She extends her middle and index knuckles.
Jade: "Two Clover; Revenge Strike".
Slamming two knuckles into Tiga's stomach, Jade launches her off the ship, all the way to the island they were chasing.
Davy:!?
Metana: What happened to Tiga?
Ruby: "Sulong".
Metana: Huh?
Ruby: Minks like her possess a form they gain from looking at the full moon which makes them stronger called "Sulong".
Ruby: Though it seems she doesn't have any control over it...
Victor limps out of the Captain's quarters where he was knocked into.
Davy: We have to go save her.
Jade: From what?
Davy: From this transformation. She isn't herself.
Jade: It's best to wait it out.
Davy: The island is following the damn moon, there is no waiting it out.
Metana: He's right. And we don't know who or what is on the island. She could hurt people.
Jade:.... Don't look to me for permission. Davy-Baby is the captain.
She begins to pet the ship.
Davy: Full speed ahead to the island!
On the island, Tiga wildly raced across it, with a bloodlust for violence. She then found herself surrounded by several warriors.
Tiga: RAAAAAAHHHHH!!
???: Tch... So you've returned...
Tiga then fought, 30 against 1. In a storm of lightning that could be seen across the island.
The Wicked Wench dropped anchor on the beach of this moon-chasing island. Seeing the lightning blasts in the distance, Davy leaps off and rushes towards it.
Metana: Hey! Wait up!
She and Victor raced after Davy. Ruby, though able to run, wasn't the best at it, and wasn't quite eager to get zapped.
Shin was stopped from going by Jade who grabbed him by the afro.
Shin: Eh? Let go of the fro!
Jade: Then fix the ship, handyman.
He dropped him in front of the hole in the Wicked Wenches deck, forcing him to use his expertise.
Ruby:(sigh)
Ruby:(mind) Try to be safe you four...
Arriving at the scene of the battle, Davy, Metana, and Victor find that the battle is already over. Several bodies covered the ground.
Metana: Was this... Tiga...?
Davy:...
Victor: These were all Minks.
Victor: That would explain why there was so much lightning... She came across a Mink tribe.
He begins expecting the bodies.
Davy: Did she win...?
???:(coughs)
Metana:!
Noticing a Mink who is still alive, Metana rushes to heal them with her ability. As she does, Davy comes to question them.
Davy: What happened here? Who won?
Mink:(panting)... We managed to lure the Savage away...
Davy: Where?
Mink:(points North)
Mink: Now...(coughs)... Answer my question. Who are you?
Davy: I'm Davy J. We're pirates.
Mink: Pirates?
Davy: Don't worry. We're the adventuring kind here for our crewmate.
Davy rushes towards the North, after Tiga. Metana stays to heal the Mink, and Victor stays to guard her. But this is when he notices a logo on the Mink. The logo was of a standing white lion roaring at a red moon.
Victor:!
Victor: You're part of "The Moon Chasers".
Metana: What's that?
Victor: A bandit mink tribe... This means the Captain is running headfirst into a tribe of Minks under the full moon...
Davy rushes into a village, filled with Minks in their Sulong forms. He immediately got everyone's attention.
Davy: Tiga!
He calls out to her and gets a roar in the distance as a response.
Davy: Hmph!
Attempting to follow the roar, Davy is forced to leap back, to avoid getting stomped on by the leader of the tribe.
???: You call the name of the Savage... My sister... Why?
Davy: Sister?
He looks up at the large muscular Tiger Mink, wearing white.
(Moon Chaser Chief: Torah)
Davy: Well nice to meet you. Tiga is my crewmate. Mind showing me where she is?
Torah: If you want something from me... THEN TAKE IT!!
She lifts her arm, charged with Electricity, and smashes towards Davy, who takes the hit full on.
Davy: Ghaaaaaa!?
To be continued...
