Chapter 12: Chicken Rampage in Tyren City [ 4 ]

+District 9+

----Gayara POV----

*Chomp*

The rooster crowed in pain as I bit off a flesh from his neck. I intended to snap his carotid artery but my jaw could only reach closer to it.

It tried to attack me with its beak but ended up hurting himself. I didn't waste anytime dodging at all because I jumped to his head: gouging it's eye and then the other with my claw.

I would have enjoyed doing this brutal executions like always but strangely, I don't feel anything at all.

The rooster suddenly started flapping his wings that the electric wires along the street became entangled with it.

" Futile resistance. "

[ I wonder if Venus would like two orange eyeballs as a meeting gift. I hope it didn't get damaged. ]

I looked back to the ground where the two eyeballs fell as it became farther and farther away. The rooster shook the wires forcibly as it rose to the air, I jumped back to his cape and continued to bite flesh after flesh from its neck.

*BAM!!!*

[ What the hell?! ]

Like dominos, a successive breaking of glass started from the middle part of the tallest building to the topmost floors. As a result, the debris of broken glasses rained on the wolf and the rooster.

There was smoke or most specifically, dust sorrounding the fallen figure of the rooster.

*Hachoo!!*

[ Ghu! I better get out of here. ]

I distanced myself from the place when I hear a clapping sound.

* clap clap clap clap *

" Impressive! I thought all military general's were fat and lazy. I didn't expect that the general of the famous Black Wolf Corps to be this unique. "

" Grrrrr!! "

A giant winged lizard landed on top of a 2-storey building. I would have mistaken for the voice to belong with it if a girl hadn't jumped from its back.

She had fly away red hair reaching only up to her shoulder. Behind a goggle are two golden eyes burning with curiousity similar to that of Diaford. Remembering that guy pisses me off.

However, my displeasure didn't last long because I saw something I didn't expect to have existed on a time where technology flourished.

[ I want that sword! ]

There it is, the legendary sword! Actually, it's not that the sword is legendary: it is legendary because it is a sword.

" Kid, what are you doing in an area as dangerous as this? Scram! "

I conversed with her through a telepathy line colored red. I am not that surprised of the kid knowing my name or position. Humans are just that scary. It's like they'll die without knowing anything.

" What was that!? Is that - Hey? I'm not a kid! "

The girl swung her sword up and down, trying to prove her claim. Since she held the scabbard, the sword fell off from it and down to where I stood.

[ Lucky! ]

* clang! *

" My sword! " she yelled, looking at me: judging whether it's safe to go down and pick up the sword.

I wanted to take the sword for myself but something caught my attention.

* rumble *

" Wha- what?! " the ground shook, causing the girl to trip and almost fall. If it were not for the winged lizard who caught her hood with its mouth, she would've fallen to her death.

[ What is it again?! ]

Something rose from the rubbles. It is that fake dinosaur! He should be weak and bleeding to his death. Why does it look like a full fledged Tyrannosaurus Rex now?

* Rooooaaaar!!!! *

[ Now, it's even uglier than before. ]

As if by some kind of miracle or delay in its transformation, its beak and feathers are no longer there. They had long fallen to the ground below its feet. Instead, the rooster took on the mouth of a T-Rex and shed its feathers.

Honestly, I felt like laughing because it still looked like a chicken plucked of its feather. Was there any historical record saying T-Rex dinosaurs are pink-skinned? Hardly, they were depicted in darker colors similar to that of reptiles.

" Oh, it looks like there is progress in my research after all. But still, pink is kind of..."

I could hear the girl muttering to herself in a bit of dismay. I didn't expect her to have issues with pink-skinned T-Rex as well as I do. No! that's not the point at all.

[ What did she say just now...my research...]

I looked down on the fallen sword, noticing the engravings on it. 'POLARIS'.

[ No wonder. Not just anyone can have a pet that looked like that. Even more so, wander around fearlessly while everyone either hid out of fear or ran away from the city. ]

The T-REX rushed to me, who smelled of blood, shaking the ground with everyone of its step. It relied on its keen sense of smell after losing its eyes to me.

[ This is no good! It would've been fine to fight him in this form if he only had a beak. Now that it has a jaw, rushing blindly could only prove to be fatal for me. ]

I quickly morphed into human and picked up the sword.

" Hey! Give me back my sword, you perverted thief! "

I can hear the culprit for all this mess accuse me of stealing but I ignored her.

Excuse me, I didn't steal it. I picked it up and she saw it. How can it be called stealing?

[ I can't fight naked, I need clothes! ]

Luckily, there is a clothing store on that street where I entered with swift, quiet steps.

The T-REX shoved its snout on the glass door at the last minute but he's too late. That isn't enough to discourage the once-called Tyrant king of the ancient age though.

In one swift motion, it swiped at the building with its newly grown tail: revealing the interior but I still is not in view.

I, on the other hand, didn't know why I came to this store anymore. Looking at the wedding gowns worn by the mannequins made me realize that this store is exclusive to wedding apparel.

" I miss Venus. This is serious! I need to finish here fast and then go home fast! "

I continued to pass by the series of wedding gowns, arriving at an area for wedding suits.

[ ugh! I hate white. Why do humans like such a color: easily stained and yet hard to wash off? ]

Seeing that the building is now exposed to sunlight, I had no choice but to put on the suit closest to me. Of course, as I have been doing this sort of routine whenever I morph, my speed in putting on clothes is considerably fast.

When the T-Rex lowered its head to the building in its search for the smell of blood, I was waiting from a higher place. It allowed me to jump on its head and impale the sword on it.

* rooooaaaar!!! *

It withdrew from the building in pain, trying to reach me with its tiny hands. But that was just a futile act, everybody knows how short a T-Rex's hand is.

" Hey! Give me back my - eh? Pfffhahaha! Oh my, why didn't you tell me you are getting married? Wait a moment, Drex is not yet prepared! I need to get a red ribbon! "

[ Does she have nothing better to do? How annoying! ]

In the short time I was gone, this little girl even had the time to steal from a convenience store! Now, she's eating a steaming cup noodles on a plastic cup. Besides that, there was this huge bag saddled on the winged lizard's back.

[ Forget it. My girl is more important. ]

The thinnest part of the T-Rex's body is its neck. That is why, I continued slashing it with the sword. Because I am considerably smaller than him, inflicting damage isn't that big of a deal.

In that darkening early afternoon, I looked like a flee jumping around on the T-Rex's back. My strength as an Alpha combined with my strength as a Wolf is enough to swipe at its flesh like it was steak. Too bad, that steak isn't something that I found palatable because it had already eaten a few humans.

As the one in charge of the Black Wolf Corps, this negligence is amounted to my own incompetence. That is why l am so intent on killing this man eating animal despite the order given to us to catch them alive.

[ I will not allow any animal that feeds on humans to live, especially experiment subjects which are mostly unpredictable in their growth, transformation and evolution. ]

My slashes are swift and concise, blood spraying on the suit as it got drenched in blood. Without fail, the head fell to the ground with a loud thud.

At the right time, I jumped from its back to where the woman named Polaris is leasurely eating before the headless body collapsed as well.

I pointed the sword at her as the blood from the sword dripped on her food.

" Ew! What do you think you're doing?! If you're going to give it back to me anyway, wash it first! "

She threw her unfinished food to the side, standing up and folding her arms akimbo.

[....]

" What the heck! You're covered in blood and you smell! Here, change your clothes first. I want to ask you something. "

[.....]

" Hey! are you listening to me? Hello! are you there? "

[ Is she weird or am I the one who is weird. ]

She kept waving her arms in front of my face like some glass wiper that I got annoyed and grabbed her wrist, lifting her up close to my bloodied face for a closer inspection.

" Let go of me, you weirdo! "

[ Seriously, she's that short? Is it possible that this adult wannabe is the mysterious mad scientist from Cosmos most commonly called as Doctor Polaris? ]

The girl used my chest as a stepping stone as she tried to get away from my grasp but failed miserably.

* sniff sniff sniff! *

[ Why are you crying? ]

I let go of the girl as she fell on her butt with a soft thud.

" How can you bully me like this?! *sniff sniff!* waaaah!!!"

[ I didn't do anything!!! What's wrong with this pumpkin? ]

" Are you really a soldier? You must be a Gangster! I saw the others injecting Drex's wives with something to make them fall asleep but you hurt Drex! You're the bad guy! "

[ ... ]

Droplets of rain slowly fell from the clouded sky one by one, becoming heavy in the span of less than a minute. The kid is still crying but the sound is being drowned out by the rain.

The blood clinging to my suit is being washed away like red coloration when in contact with water. My radio earpiece is no longer on my ear so I can't contact the command control center. As such, I carried the kid like a sack of potato on my shoulder. Even the winged lizard meekly followed behind despite seeing its master struggling to break free from me.

" Bad guy, let go of me! Dragon, why aren't you helping me? "

The winged lizard can only pretend to be confused and stupid as she sensed that I am not her opponent. Besides, I wasn't exuding murderous intent to alarm her.

[ I think this kid will be a valuable asset in purging those mad scientist. After all, she herself is one of them. ]

----Polaris POV----

I was surprised to see huge rats being transported in cages with the aid of a binoculars.

[ I only experimented on Drex and his wives. Why are there extras popping out of nowhere? ]

A number of familiar steps stopped behind me. I knew then that it was this strange uncle that shamelessly touched my things without authorization.

" Did you tamper with the activated T-Rex genes?"

I didn't bother to face him because I am not pleased with how he's acting. Anyway, Dragon is watching my back for me.

" What does it have to do with you? "

" That's mine "

" And? What of it? "

" You didn't even ask for my permission! "

" Awe, come on. Is there a need to? I know you are the one who activated them but...I am your financier after all. Without me, no matter how brilliant your project proposals are, it's useless. Remember? "

[ Ghu! He's right. It was him who reached out to me. I just...I just feel like something isn't right. ]

I thought that everyone will be happy if I make Tyren City as the nest for my T-Rex Revival Project, but why!? Why is everyone running away and hiding? Why did Drex and his Wives eat people and destroy their homes?

Did they pretend to be meek and submissive before? Perhaps, they're only irritable and angry for a while due to the transformation? Impossible! Dragon isn't like that. What difference does it make them?

" Humph! Anyway, I'm going home after talking to that Wolfy! "

" What are you talking about? "

"There, there he is! He was just running away from Drex but I don't know why...he suddenly became a black Wolfy! "

The uncle rushed to my side where I am observing the City. He didn't even need binoculars to see a gigantic Rooster and a smaller black wolf compared to it but comparably bigger than ordinary ones, demolishing things and fighting fiercely with each other.

I was curious to see his reaction but he was more elated than I thought.

[ What is there to be happy about? Everything was utter failure! ]

While we were viewing from the top of the tallest building, Drex suddenly flew towards our direction and crashing on the building.

I lost my footing but that wasn't the cause of my fall. I was pushed by the uncle who, in an instant was whipped by Dragon's tail to the wall.

[ Why did you push me? What did I do wrong!? ]

Whatever happened to him isn't something that I know now because I was shocked and felt betrayed for the first time. Thankfully, Dragon is fast enough to catch me on his back.

That was when I saw Wolfy. It's just that the fresh feeling of betrayal made me more vigilant and wary.

As such, I am determined to show that I'm not that easily taken advantage of or used anymore.
