European Arc, Chapter 94: Spanish Energy

Sierra Nevada National Park.

One of the keystones as to why Spain is a beautiful country itself, located on the south and close to the coast.

A marvel filled with spectacles, and a good place to hunt.

We see the hunting squad of Marcus, Rakezh, Luke and Night Howler.

Night Howler: So this is Spain huh? Gotta say it's very vibrant here as of post to Australia where it's mostly desert like.

Rakezh: Meanwhile India is mostly jungle and marshes, gray skies accompanying it.

Luke: I heard that from Dario, he's been here in the place of Marcus when he got injured.

Marcus: Yeah, tho I am glad I am here in Spain, I'm more familiar here. I've visited Madrid a couple of times, my brother Thibaut plays for Real Madrid, in Spanish culture European football is a very worshipped sport.

Rakezh: Huh, I guess we learn something everyday huh?

Night Howler: You mean soccer?

Marcus: No, football.

The dingo girl was in a teasing mood.

Night Howler: Only in Europe it's called that, but it's soccer for me~.

Marcus: Not just Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, Mexico and other Spanish countries call it football.

Night Howler: Whatever, Lukey what do you think it is?

Luke: Why not both?

Rakezh: I'm not into sports. Anywhoo what do we have on the list Marcus?

Marcus: 2 lynx, 2 wolves and an ibex.

Night Howler: Dibs on the ibex! Why don't we split up to find each of the trophies. Me and Luke hunt the ibex.

Marcus: Hang on we-

Rakezh: Heh, watch me get a two for one. I pick the wolves.

Marcus: As leader of the group I haven't declared it-

Rakezh: Fuck leadership, hunt all you can and then leave!

He then turned into his leopard form and ran out of the group before climbing a tree, disappearing from their sights.

Marcus: I just hope he doesn't get killed.

Luke: I doubt wolves would do much on him, he can climb trees to avoid danger.

Night Howler: Yeah, come on let's go Lukey!

Marcus: Hey wait for me you-

The dingo girl grabbed Luke's hand and dragged him but the teenager tripped on a root and fell down.

Luke: Oww!

Night Howler: Luke!

Marcus: What did I tell ya!

He then rushed to check up on his friend.

Marcus: You ok kid?

Luke: Ahh....I'm alright I think...

He tried to get up but a crack was heard, Luke grunted before massaging his back.

Luke: I think I got a backache...

Night Howler: OH MY GOD! I'm so sorry Luke, I didn't mean to! *sad dingo*

Luke: It's fine Howls, that's what I get for playing rugby with ya. *chuckled*

Marcus: Well with that condition you're unavailable for hunting Luke.

Luke: No! I can still do this! Nyx, help me up.

The dingo girl nodded before helping her partner up as he grunted a bit from the back pain.

Marcus: Luke I fear for your safety, as leader of this group I need to keep and eye on you. Perhaps we can do something to help ease the pain, like maybe go to-

Night Howler: Hey what does this sign say? I don't speak Spanish?

She pointed to a wooden board that had a carved message with an arrow pointing up at a mountainous area.

"Resortes de alivio"

Marcus got close to inspect the board in Spanish.

Marcus: Relieving Springs.

Luke: Springs?

Night Howler: Oh! Maybe this can help with your back pain Luke, by nature warm water can help with the muscles and bones.

Marcus: Right. Nyx, you grab the legs and I grab the arms. We're getting Luke to those springs up on that mountain.

Luke: Let's hope this works.

The scene changed to Rakezh who was in his leopard form, jumping from tree to tree and eyeing from above to spot his quarry.

But then he overhears something. It was singing but in a different language.

???: 🎵 Aujourd'hui, c'est une journée merveilleuse pour quelques incidents. Le compte à rebours vers le chaos va commencer. Je fais ça pour le plaisir, pas pour la couronne~ ! 🎵

Rakezh peeked his head to eye who it was, he saw a brown and white coated roe deer, the voice was masculine whilst singing in a different language.

Rakezh: He's singing in French....odd...

Then he sees the deer turn around.

???: Ah! You finally came, guess time clearing the entrance for you to bypass the borders between my France and here in Spain was easier than I thought. It was a shame you weren't fast enough to make it to me earlier.

Rakezh peeked to the direction as he saw the deer was talking to Jäger who was in his moose form.

Jäger: Thank you for cooperating with us, we shall liberate all animal kind and free ourselves from the shackles humanity put on us. СЛАВА ВЛАД! (HAIL VLAD!)

The leopard was confused but he went silent, wanting to know what's going on.

???: Trust me, I'm not into your politics nor will I bow to your master. I only agreed to the terms because I would feel some thrills, life in France is boring. There's no ounce of excitement if you get me, monsiuer Jäger.

Jäger: Spare me your personal life, Faust. I'm not interested in your world of fantasies.

Faust: *scoffs* Si vulgare...(How rude). *smirks* Anywhoo what may I assist you, other than the fact I had to smuggle you in these borders?

Jäger then turned into his human form.

Jäger: Turn human, I need you for something?

Faust: Hmmm...No, I like myself the way I am.

Jäger: Just turn into your human form before I slice you.

Faust: Fine fine!

He turns into his human form. A man that was at least 5'9, dark skin, black eyes, dark hair with greying hair that spikes on both sides. His clothing consisted of a brown coat, white shirt, black tie with matching pants and shoes.

Faust: Satisfied, tête d'os? (Bonehead) So what do you want?

Jäger: Simple.

He then pulls out a glass flask bottle that contained a dark substance inside.

Jäger: I want you to go and pour on the river flowing on this national park. My fellow allies are doing the same in other parts of this country that has rivers.

Faust: Hm? And what is that substance?

Jäger: The essence of my lord, he wishes to share his wisdom to all the animals around the continent. First is Europe, next will be the entire world.

Faust: Oooooh, we're poisoning the waters. Quel démon diabolique ton maître est hehehehe. (What a devilish fiend your master is hehehehe)

Rakezh was shocked from this revelation.

Rakezh: *mumbled* The fuck...these fuckers are gonna poison the rivers around Europe....

Jäger: Faust, tell me something...were you followed?

Faust: Why of course not, what fool do you take me for? Certainly not you.

Jäger: Oh yeah....

He then pulled out one of his antlers and launched them at the tree Rakezh was, shaking it making the leopard stumble and fall on the ground.

Rakezh: Fuck...

Faust: Color me surprised, I wasn't expecting this sudden twist of events. And it's an animal that's not native to Europe. *smug*

Jäger just stared at Rakezh who was getting up, he was huffing. The leopard grit his teeth.

Rakezh: Come and get me ya colossal fur coat!

He turned into his true form and fled.

Jäger: Take the flask and pour it onto Guadalquivir.

He gave the flask to the roe deer trophy.

Faust: Oh and what are you going to do monsiuer Jäger.

Jäger: I'll deal with this...spy myself...

The moose followed Rakezh, Faust shrugged before turning to leave whilst humming himself a tune.

The scene changed to Marcus and Night Howler as they were carrying Luke up at the mountain area.

Marcus: Come on we're almost there!

Luke was groaning in pain.

Night Howler: Hang in there Lukey, we're close to the top mate.

Eventually they make it to the top, they turned to see an unexpected guest waiting for them.

They saw a dark brown colored ibex with with brown eyes and abnormally big horns, like a swirly spiral.

???: ¡Regresa!

Night Holwer: Huh? What did he say?

???: I said go baaaaaaaaack!

Marcus: Hey, we're looking for some healing springs, the ones behind you.

???: This place is sacred, no humans allowed. Go baaaaaaaaack!

Night Holwer: Ooof!

Luke groaned in more pain that he felt on his back.

Night Holwer: Please mister goat, our friend here has a rough backache. We'll use the waters quickly and then leave.

Marcus: It's ibex. And no dumb stinking mountain ibex with oversized antlers tells us what to do. We're using the springs no matter what!

???: *angry glare* You humans make me sick! Get LOOOOOOOST!!

He then charged and hit Marcus with a hard headbutt to his chest, sending the Belgian flying off the mountain.

Marcus: Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! *disappears*

Luke/NH: Marcus!

The ibex cracked his neck.

???: Never felt this good in a long time ago.

Night Howler: Why did you do that?! All we did was ask for permission if we could use the springs.

???: Oh, then you may use them.

Night Howler: Oh, come on Luke let-

???: Ah ah. You stay, he leaves.

Night Howler: What?! But that's not fair?!

Iker: I'm Iker, I'm the guardian of these springs and my rules are that animals are allowed, like you. Humans are baaaaaaaanished and forbidden.

Luke: Ahh...but why...? What did I do?

Iker then turned into his human form. Appearing as a man that was 6'1, was shirtless with muscular build, he had some chest hair, he wore brown skirt made out of hay and leaves as his only clothing.

He then pulled out an album that contained various pictures and tossed it to their side so they could see, Iker began narrating through the various pictures on the album.

Iker: Looooooong before, this was a safe haven for me and my ibex kin. The springs are sacred and we bathed in them and even allowed other animals to join in the essence of our waaaaaaaters, produced by the great river of Guaaaaaaaaaaadalquivir.

Then Luke and Night Howler looked to the other picture.

Iker: Then humans came along and hunted down and chased off most of my kin away, then they used the hot springs for themselves, as if it was a human made swimming pool. Contaminating the great waaaaaaaaaaters with their junk and urine. NAUSEABUNDO!! (Sickening!!)

He then stomped on the album and the two looked at the enraged ibex.

Iker: I decided to take maaaaaatters into my own hands and eventually kicked out those humans from the sacred springs. I now guaaaaaaaard this place with my life.

Luke: Look mr ibex, we get your story, I feel bad for you but please....*grunts* This backache is killing me!

Iker: Maybe if you humans learned to treat nature and its gifts with respect, I wouldn't have been this merciless with you. But you forced my hand, now you get the horns!

He then turned into his normal form and head butted Luke off the mountain as well.

Night Howler: LUKE!!!

She turned into her normal form and chased down after the teenager.

Iker: And NEVER come BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

The scene changed to Jäger who was on the hunt for Rakezh. He stopped for a second to look around his surroundings deep into the forest.

Jäger: Ти маєш його запах.....(You have his smell.....)

He then took a few steps forward, hellbent on finding Rakezh.

Unknown to him, the leopard was hiding from above, silently sitting on a thick tree branch, watching the moose who was acting more like a carnivore stalking his prey than the prey itself unaware of the situation.

Rakezh: *Mind* Dario....what have you been hiding from us this whole time....

Jäger then stops, he then grabs one of his antlers, turning it into a sharp boney blade before spinning it and agressively thrusting it forward, piercing through the branch that Rakezh was on.

The leopard was shocked as he pulled out his handguns and jumped down and landed on the ground.

The two were now faced to faced. Rakezh began shooting at Jäger who used his boney blade to shield the incoming shots before lunging forward to slash the leopard.

Rakezh quickly slid underneath the moose and fired a bullet from underneath, hitting the right thigh making the moose grunt in pain.

Rakezh smirking he then tried to do a spinning heel kick, but his attack was thwarted as the moose grabbed his foot before yanking the leopard across the forest.

Jäger then quickly rushed with a bleeding leg to find Rakezh, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Jäger: You're not getting away from me....

He then pulled out another flask, the same one he had given to Faust. He then opened it and poured it on his eyes through then holes of the moose skull.

Jäger then felt a sharp pain in his eyes, they turned from blue to red with skull cracks forming around the holes.

Through Jäger's point of view, he saw Rakezh casually hiding above another tree, but one close to a cliff.

The moose then huffed before turning into his true form, he then yelled in a war cry before tackling the tree.

Rakezh: Woah! *shaken*

With all his might, Jäger used his antlers to excavate and tumble the tree, removing it from the spot and sending it along with Rakezh falling down a cliff.

The leopard screamed as he was falling down, thanks to Jäger.

The moose just stared at the falling tree before it lands hard on the ground, breaking in half. He then silently turns his back and walks away, like nothing happened.

To be continued.....

OK guys, this was chapter 94

Peace out!
