3rd Person POV
Despite the setbacks, the cultural festival started on time and was actually really interesting to look at. The Cooking Club is prepping the last of their food for their presentation, and while (Y/n) sets up the last of the tables An and Yena decide they want to help with the presentation. (Y/n) wanted to protest but Ranka quickly shot him down and said to welcome them. The presentation gets underway and animals are lined up a long way down the hallway.
Meimei: Order for table 5!
(Y/n): Coming up! Order up for table 8!
Yukari: On the way!
Hitomi: Order for table 3!
Jin: Coming right up! Dumb dog, order up for table 10!
Ranka: Got it!
After a tense couple of hours we finally ran out of food and (Y/n) is panting heavily because he was near hot stoves the entire time.
Hitomi: You okay there?
(Y/n): I don't know how you can work while feeling really hot.
Hitomi then said she was going to go get some items to restock our shelves, I think. An was very quick to offer her help, but so was Yena. (Y/n) looked at Yena and he slightly nodded at (Y/n) and Yena understood. An and Yena get into a argument but Ranka quickly breaks them up and tells them to do different jobs. As they leave, he feels a vibration coming through the ground and he picked up a voice message.
Man: You all know your jobs, stick to it and the humans will be extinct soon enough.
(Y/n) gets up and takes a swig of water and walks out towards the fairgrounds. Meanwhile, the four other members of Team EX make their way through the festival and Ando spots (Y/n) and attempts to lead him away from the grounds. Meanwhile, back in the Cooking Room.
Yukari: Hitomi and An have been gone for a while.
Meimei: Yena isn't back either.
Jin: Where could Hitomi be?
Ranka: Alright, we'll have to go and search for them. Jin go to the gardening club. I'll follow Yena's scent. Everyone else finish cleaning up.
Jin starts to walk around and goes to the gardening club and finds that Hitomi and An never made it there. Jin then wanders around wondering where they could be when he bumps into someone.
Jin: Whoa there, sorry about- Whoa!
He is suddenly lifted into the air by a lion and not just any lion.
Atlas: You, human. I am Hacho Atlas, the barbary lion and because of humans, my species went extinct.
Jin: A barbary lion?!
Atlas: Today I take my revenge for my species extinction!
Jin: Wait! I-
Atlas went to strike Jin, only to be snatched by King.
Jin: The stupid lion?
The two big cats face off. Meanwhile, Yena tracked An and Hitomi and is struggling against An, but he won't give up. Yangyang, the Baiji dolphin has stumbled upon the Cooking Club and is trying to get info on the human members. Ando, the andrewsarchus, is being chased by (Y/n) through the woods outside the school. And Washima, the Stellars sea cow, is wandering around the festival when he saw Ando being chased by (Y/n) and follows. Ando leads (Y/n) through the forest and he comes upon Atlas and yells.
Ando: Atlas! Helpme!Helpme!Helpme!Helpme!
Atlas: What are you-
*CRASH*
(Y/n): *TRUMPET*
Ando and Atlas make a run for it, until they reach a shore with a lake and the two make their stand. (Y/n) stands before them easily towering over the two extinct species.
(Y/n): Where is your boss?! Tell me or I will trample it out of you!
(Y/n) charges and the two predators dodge and circle around. Atlas jumps onto (Y/n)'s left shoulder but is easily thrown off before he can get a grip. Ando then tries to bite (Y/n)'s leg and (Y/n) just move back a little. The pair keep pushing (Y/n) into the water until it's up to his elbows.
Meanwhile, Ranka is trying to reason with An about letting Hitomi go, but is cut off by a low frequency sound. The sound gets more and more intense as a miniature woolly mammoth makes her entrance. At first Ranka and a battered Yena are bewildered by the size of this mammoth. As the rest of the cooking club arrive Man, the mini mammoth, starts chuckling.
Man: So this is the pack our long lost giant teammate claims to protect? Hahahaha!
Meimei: How do you know about (Y/n)?
Man: Isn't it obvious? We are members of Team EX!
Meimei grows a terrified faced as realization hit her, this is why (Y/n) was suspicious of An from the beginning because he knew her. King and Yena try to stop Man's advance towards Jin but are easily beaten by the mini mammoth's strength. As she advances towards Jin again, Ranka gets in the way, saying it's her duty as a boss to protect her pack. Jin then tries something and tosses marbles at Man'a feet, which stops her in her tracks.
Ranka: Jin, what did you do?
Jin: Elephants don't like any type of injury to their feet. Even if it's something like a marble or a ping pong ball, they won't step on it. The stupid mammoth is trapped.
Jin then offers a deal, a boxing match between wolf and mammoth, Man is forced to agree and the lot head to the boxing ring. Meimei, however was only half listening because she was worried about her best friend.
(Y/n) POV
Speaking of which, I am in elbow deep water and Atlas and Ando are blocking my only route back to shore. I prepare to charge, when I am blindsided by a massive tail that erupted out of the water and knocks me off balance. I regain my footing as Atlas tries to get on my back, and I throw him off but I didn't see Ando charging in mouth open. I am too slow to react and Ando bites by right front leg easily drawing blood and sending horrible pain through me. I shake violently to try and throw Ando off, but he's got a good grip, Atlas then grabs my trunk but I simply lift him in the air and slam him onto Ando's head, finally forcing Ando to let go. I try to put some weight on my leg but it hurts way too much to try, I have to work through the pain though, I heard Man's entrance and I realized I was too hasty and allowed myself to be distracted. Atlas has recovered and jumps on my back since I can't move quick anymore he bites down on my neck and I shake my head to try and get him off. But I then get tackled by Ando and Washima and knocked into the deeper part of the lake. Washima drags me deeper as Ando bites my trunk closed. I manage to get Ando and Atlas off me and they are forced to return to the surface for air. I start to follow until Washima body slams my side, I then hear a high pitched clicking sound and get hit by a newly arrived Yangyang. As Yangyang comes around behind me to tackle me again, I react quickly enough and kick her in the side and make my way back to the surface and breath heavily while struggling to stay afloat. I make it back to shallow water but see Washima and Yangyang charging my way. I grab a log and catch both of them in the log trapping them, Atlas and Ando come roaring in, I drop the log and muster all the strength I have left and rear up on my hind legs. Driven by momentum, Altas and Ando can't stop their attack and get stomped when I land back on the ground. I let out a bellow of pain as I regain my footing, I stuff the unconscious Ando and Atlas into the same log on the other end and pick up the log and use my sense of smell to find Ranka and the others and start heading that direction.
Atlas: *wearily* How did you beat us like that?
Ando: It doesn't matter. The boss will take care of the rest of your pathetic pack, shortly.
(Y/n): *panting heavily* Not... if... I... can... help it. Gotta get back.
Yangyang: Why continue this course of action, modern species are insignificant.
(Y/n): That's... why... you'll... always lose. You... can't... let go... of the... past.
Meimei POV
Ranka is not faring well against the mini mammoth and has only one round to finally win and free Hitomi. Jin actually tried to praise Ranka to fire her up, and it worked Ranka was dodging and tiring the mammoth out. Ranka then went for a knock out punch, but the mammoth tricked her and gut punched Ranka the sent her flying out of the ring with an uppercut. The referee started counting as Ranka laid there seemingly down for the count.
Yukari: Poor Ranka.
Meimei: She tried so hard.
Miyubi: *softly* Hang in there.
Girls: Huh?
Miyubi: *loud voice* HANG IN THERE, RANKA! *dies*
Everyone starts cheering for Ranka and eventually this rouses her and she confidently jumps back into the ring. The mammoth goes on the attack but is then distracted by An telling her to back down. The mammoth lashes at her and tries to remind her of her place.
Man: You are to only obey me!
An: Then I... I... I am leaving Team EX!
Man: *shocked* An?
An: And I'm... I'm not your friend anymore!
This pushes the mammoth over the edge as she stands there shocked I can see a tear run down her face.
Ranka: If you can't trust your friends, *charges at Man* you fail as a boss!
The punch, as well as the revelation, was enough to knock her out and win Ranka the match. The crowd erupts into applause celebrating Ranka's victory. We all cheer for Ranka until we hear-
*TRUMPET*
I look up and at the top of the hill, (Y/n) stands tall with the other members of Team EX restrained. The whole pack rushes out of the ring and up the hill as (Y/n) sets his adversaries on the ground. We all give him a big hug and we tell him of Ranka's victory.
(Y/n): *exhausted* A wolf beat a mammoth? Heh, good job kiddo.
He then closes his eyes and starts to teeter to his left side and we all grow confused until-
Jin: Crud, he's going over!
(Y/n) indeed falls over and collapses to the ground, Ranka and I check on him first.
Meimei: (Y/n)?! Hang in there.
Ranka: You're going to be okay. Jin?
Jin looks over the wound on his right front leg.
Jin: This is bad. Most of an elephant's weight is concentrated on their front legs. If one gets injured, it could cripple them for life.
The dinosaur staff acted quickly and got (Y/n) to the nurse's office. I didn't leave his side for a single second, I just stayed next to him while he was treated, the nurse then told me.
Nurse: (Y/n) will survive, he may never be fully functional ever again.
The nurse leaves and I can't hold back any longer and start crying profusely. I have never felt this way for any animal before, why does it hurt so much when I see him like this? I think back on all the memories of the time we've spent together, the good, the bad and everything in between. I look at (Y/n)'s unconscious face and lean down and kiss his cheek.
Meimei: I don't want to leave your side ever again.
(A/N): Aw, that's beautiful. Ahem, I mean, CUT! Great work everyone! Take a lunch break and we'll get back to it later.
Hey! All you really wild animals out there! Thanks for reading this far and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. PEACE OUT!!!
