Ravage had found himself in Oolong City. Normally he wouldn't be the one to travel to the cities, however he had to gather some food supplies and other various items before he was going to make a long hike up the Northern region again in search of the Wizard and the foolish thing to do was to go searching without supplies. Upon arriving at the local tavern, the eyes of various other zoans in this region started to look at him. Some noticed his strength and his javelin that he had carried with him and noted him as some type of mercenary from the looks of it. Others saw him as trouble and mistook him to being one of the Wolf tribes from the North, most notably the Red Wolves due to his power level alone. Upon sitting down on the stool of the bar and ordering himself a glass of vodka, a towering mammoth zoan had approached him from the side lines and sat next to him. Clearly showing some intimidation factor as he kept looking at Ravage with a cocky look and grinned smile. The other patrons nearby looked in their direction. Some felt the interaction between the two would go south and they prepared themselves to either run away, join in the brawl, or simply ignore the tradition actions that do happen at bars. The bartender took a close eye in particular since he was an employee here and within close range, pulling out a knife from behind the counter and concealing it.
"What the hell is a Red Wolves member doing all the way down here in the western region. Your kind is known to stick to the cold North where you belong.""Assumption never got anyone anywhere, except to an early grave. I don't know what you are talking about, I am not apart of the Red wolves.""Well the only other tribe that I know over there are the Black Wolves and no way in hell are you a member of them. They are too weak."" Weak huh? They took the time to train me for a month and if it wasn't for them, well I wouldn't be as strong now than how I was before. But If you really want trouble then go ahead. Though I should warn you, fighting me won't exactly be easy."About that time, another wolf had shown up and touched the mammoth's shoulder.
"Easy, he isn't apart of the Red wolves.""How would you know?""Red wolves have a tattoo on their neck or back. He doesn't have one."The mammoth looked to Ravage and briefly nodded.
"I apologize."Ravage nodded in his direction and the mammoth left without further trouble. The wolf taking the mammoth's seat and looking to ravage.
"Not every day I see another wolf in this city.""Thank you for that, and I am not really a wolf. I was turned into a wolf by a wizard. I was once human..""Ah, now I know who you are. You met with the Leader of the Black wolves awhile back. Hehe, you're the guy he had train for over a month.""I take it your from that tribe."The wolf nodded.
"So what brings you all the way out here?""I came here for food and supplies and I plan to go back to the North to find the wizard again.""Well I have some bad news for you. If you really want those supplies, it's going to cost triple than what regular cities normally charge.""Why is that?""This city has raised their prices due to the high crimes lately.""Shit, just my luck. I guess i'm going to have to go to another city.""You won't have to, this one guy is offering anyone to bring back his son and the money is enough to help you out.""Where can I find this man?"The wolf pointed to the back of the bar. Ravage headed to the back of the bar, where he sat across the business shady looking man. This man was a cat zoan and by the looks of it, he seemed desperate.
"I take it that you're here for the job?""Yes I am, tell me everything..""I am in desperate need of help. My son had been taken by these known gangsters on the other side of town. What they want from me is, a rare gem that the bank has. The problem is. I am not a theft and the bank wouldn't sell me the gem. These criminals also don't care about money.""So you want me to get the gem and give it to the criminals?""That's essentially the case. I don't want them hurting my boy which is why I don't want to send a bunch of people over there.""Alright, you got yourself a deal.."After given the directions of the bank, Ravage had found his way to the bank and started to scout the place out. After reviewing the place for two hours, he waited until nightfall. Once nightfall had struck, he was on the rooftop and started to break into the place. By first making a big circle around the window frame and cutting a giant circle. He would pull it out and place it on the ground. Now entering the bank, he had looked around and spotted security cameras moving about. He also had began to sniff the area as well, picking up about five other people within the bank. After making his way through the pipes from above and being as quietly as can be, he would hop down and knock out the five guards that he had come into contact with. One by one they were down for the count and before he had knocked them out, he had asked where the others were and where he could find the gem at. The mission was going as smooth as it could be, until he had tripped an alarm that was sensor. He grabbed the gem and flew right out of there. The police had responded but the evidence that they needed was erased due to Ravage destroying the security cameras and the equipment inside of the security area.
Ravage had found his way to the other side of town. Searching through the bars, he only found one bar that was open this late at night. As he walked in with a trench coat and a fedora hat, the gangsters inside started to get up and surround him. They each looked mean and uglier than the next. One of them spoke, being a deformed pig missing a tusk.
"What the hell do you want wolf?""I'm looking for the Cat's son. Where is your leader? I have something he wants.""And what is that?"Ravage pulling out his right hand from his pocket and revealing the gem. The pig became excited and tried to snatch it from him, only to meet his face with Ravage's fist from his right hand. The pig flew straight on top of a zebra zoan and both of them hitting a table and breaking it in the process. Ravage looked to the cow zoan that gave him a dirty look.
"I won't ask again. Next person that tries to grab this gem from me, i'm going to destroy this place and kill all of you."They each had felt his power level and his anger slightly rising. They knew to take his threat seriously and from looks alone, it seemed that he didn't care whether or not the boy lived. He took steps forward and the gangsters started to walk backwards out of fear of the wolf. Coming from the back of the bar, a crocodile had revealed himself to the wolf. This crocodile however, was the same one that Ravage had poisoned a while back. He had invited the wolf to the table and had a chipped tooth out of anger.
"Well well well, if it isn't the son of a bitch that left me out to die in the North. You thought that I was just some low timer huh. I got a lot of members with me. You know you cost me and my men all that cargo. On top of that you had killed two of my guys.""Never mind all that. I got the gem that you guys wanted.""As much as I want the gem, I feel like you owe me a bit of insurance for what you did to me and the amount of cargo that was lost. Do you have any idea how much richer I could have been?! No, you want that boy back. You are going to have to do me a favor.""Alright fine, what do you need?""Their is this giant size rhino that I want you to take out. He's been causing my gang and I trouble. If you do this for me, I will squash our trouble that we have for one another.""Deal, where can I find this rhino?""The battle arena."Ravage had made his way to the battle arena and from the looks of it, it was a stadium arena that gladiators fought in as a crowd watched them fight to the death. Ravage had signed up and entered the ring. He walked into the arena and the rhino was indeed massive and strong like the crocodile had said. Ravage didn't want to waste time and dashed straight for him. He had jumped into the air when he got close and tried to send a right sided kick to the rhino's face. The rhino had blocked it easily and sent a straight punch to Ravage's stomach. The powerful blow was enough to send him back to the ground and cause him to breath heavy.
"What's a wolf doing in a place like this? Your kind is always in the North!"Ravage had ignored his comment and immediately pulled out his javelin. He hurled it straight at the rhino and his shoulder had caught it. The scream from the rhino was more than enough of a distraction as Ravage found his way towards the rhino and began to hurl a ki blast straight at his face. The smoke clouded his face for a bit and the minimal damage was enough to blind him for a split second. Ravage tackling the rhino and got him on his back. Before he could mouth on him and hurl a series of blows at him. The towering rhino grabbed his body from each end and tossed him to the sky. The crowd cheered for the rhino's victory and he had immediately opened his mouth so wide and fired an eraser gun at Ravage. The blow was enough to cause damage but luckily for Ravage, he had slightly moved a bit while in the air and only had caused damaged to his left shoulder, ribcage, and leg. Blood was clearly visible and Ravage was now on the ground face first as he ate a bit of sand from the impact. He struggled to get up, his wound was big enough to cause him to stagger a bit. As he slightly rose to his feet and finally was able to make it, he saw the rhino's fist meet his cheek and sending him straight against the wall. This time, blood was leaking from his mouth.
"Do you have any idea who the fucking I am?""Shut the fuck up. I don't care."His back was against the wall and he was sitting up against it. He used his right hand to lift himself up and now standing against the wall as he continued to breath heavy.
"Your just another obstacle in my path. Another contract."Ravage sent his body ahead and using the wall in order to gain momentum. He pulled his javelin from the ground after the rhino had tossed it to the side and immediately hurled it with his bad arm which the rhino had so easily grabbed it without much effort. Now Ravage was face to face with the Rhino and him being in mid air, he believed that he had the high ground. The rhino had slapped his face, so hard that he twirled in the air for a few spins before impacting the ground with his face. His bad arm was clearly visible, so the rhino thought it would be fun to torture his prey. After all this one had heart and he had power to back it up. Ravage tried to grab the sand from the ground and tried pushing himself up to his feet, only to be stabbed in his right shoulder by his own javelin and pinned to the ground. He yelled in pain and looking over his shoulder to see the rhino laughing.
"As strong as you are. You don't have the strength to beat me. What is your name?""My name's Ravage."The rhino had laughed again, only this time he had kicked Ravage's stomach and in the process broken two of Ravage's left ribcage and arm. All the while being flown straight to the wall from across the stadium and impacting the wall. Blood had leaked against from his mouth and the panting grew more. Ravage was in a daze and he looked at the rhino who now had turned to the crowd and accepted the cheers from the audience who screamed out. "KILL HIM! KILL HIM KILL HIM!"
Ravage's eyes had twinkle and he had heard the voice of his father... his mentor...
Flashback
The ten year old Ravage had been fighting the children of the orphanage due to them making fun of him. They didn't like his hair, nor did they like how skinny and small he was. However it didn't matter how big the bullies were, he had the heart to take them down and win. His adoptive father had shown up and next to him would be the receptionist.
"I want to adopt him."Ravage had turned to look at the old man who wanted to adopt him. He was quiet for a brief moment and slightly confused. The receptionist had whispered into the man's ear.
"He's a trouble maker. I wouldn't recommend it.." "You heard what I said right?"After that, Ravage was signed out of the orphanage and the both of them walking together on the street. Ravage looking up at the old man and being confused.
"Hey old man, why did you choose to adopt me?""Because you remind me of myself when I was growing up. I was always bullied and mistreated by others. Then I had learned to fight. I wanted to ask you something. If you wanted to use your talent in order to do good for the world.""Good?""That's right, with your strength and heart and my wisdom and teachings, you will become the strongest martial artist.""Martial artist?""You will come to know about it in time..."A few years had passed. Ravage training on an enormous tree and kicking his leg against it for hours upon hours, not even making a dent in it. He finally had collapsed to the ground tired and exhausted. His father had walked from behind the bushes.
"Giving up already?""This is just too hard. There is no way this tree will ever come down.. I have been here for hours... This is a waste of-"One single kick from the father against the tree, had snapped the tree in half and caused it to fly away.
"Wooooo how did you do that?""Training for hours, days, weeks, and years. If you want to accomplish this task and go against the big dogs of this world. You need discipline and determination. You can't do it by giving up too early.""But... how do I beat an opponent that is impossible to beat?...""You keep fighting and learning while you do that in order to accomplish the task. Nothing is impossible..."Flashback Ended
Ravage laid against the wall and the rhino was slowly making his way towards him. Ravage whispering underneath his breath.
"He right.. nothing is impossible.."Ravage slowly rising to his feet with his right hand just barely supporting him. He reached into his pouch and began to eat something. This would be pills which would give him the energy to move for a period of time without feeling the enduring pain. He rushed with ease and with his broken left arm, he pulled out a three knives and hurled it straight at the rhino. The knives were enough of a distraction for the rhino to lift his arm up to deflect it. However, Ravage was quick enough to go underneath the rhino and slam his claws into him. The deep penetration to his right shoulder and paralyzing it in the process was more than enough to cause the rhino to stagger backwards. The rhino had used his left arm and grabbed a hold of Ravage's neck, hurling him back and against the wall. Before he would reach the wall, the rhino had opened his mouth and fired his eraser gun at him. Ravage had dug his feet into the sand and as he glided across the ground, he would trow himself to the right side, landing on his back and rolling off the ground to avoid the beam. While doing so he get to his feet and continued to pant.
The rhino was tired of his games and proceeded to rush towards him in a bomb rush type fashion. However his clouded judgement allowed him to make some mistakes and Ravage had used his small stature to avoid the bomb rush and all the while using his right leg in order to trip the rhino into the wall. Ravage had now taken the opportunity to grab his weapon off the wall and slamming it straight into the rhino's left arm and deep enough in order to shut down the nerves of his left arm as well. Before the rhino could realize what had happened, Ravage used both his arms to slam the back of the kneecaps of both of the rhino's legs and paralyzing the both of it. He would soon collapse on his back and unable to move. He looked up at Ravage with a frustrated tone of voice.
"I can't fucking move. what the hell did you do to me!""You are paralyzed, which means you won't be bothering the crocodile and his gang anymore. i'm done here." The rhino grunted in frustration and Ravage had walked out of the arena and headed to a hospital. After taking a senzu bean in which he had discovered from the hospital, he was healed up in no time. He traveled straight to the crocodile who sat in his booth.
"I heard the news and what you did to the rhino. Hehe, making him not move was a genius strategy.""Enough small talk, the kid.""Right."The crocodile had whistled and the Cat's son had appeared from the basement below. After the gem was given to the crocodile, he had received the child and the both of them started to walk through the streets. Just when things looked a lot clearer, it soon went to shit. Coming from the shadows would be two rhinos and the both of them had knocked out Ravage unconscious and taking the kid with them as well. Ravage had later awoken, chained against the wall of his cell and the door to his cell opening up.
A rhino had walked in, this rhino being a beige color with a missing horn cut in half horizontally.
"I really don't know who you are fellow. But what you did to King Rhino back at the arena for some child. You have a lot of nerves. ""Where the hell am I?""You are in the King's castle of course and you won't be leaving anytime soon. You see, I don't care what information that crocodile had given you. But him and his men had owed the king a lot of money. Never trust crocodile huh.""So what now?""Well normally for something like this, the king would have executed you on the spot. But lucky for you, you chose to spar his life and you told him that you did it because of the crocodile. So there is some forgiveness I guess. He wanted to know though, what wolf tribe are you from?""I am from no tribe.""That's better for us, we won't suffer any problems then.""However, I have a good relationship with the Black Wolves tribe.""So you know the leader huh?, He's best friends with Rhino."The beige rhino had left and a few hours later, the leader of the black wolves had arrived and looked at Ravage chained up against the wall.
"Ravage, this is quite a surprise. Is there a reason you did all this?""I needed the money in order to buy supplies for travels to the North in order to find the wizard. So I had agreed to do a mission for this Cat who had lost his son to the crocodile gang. In order for the crocodile to not harm the boy, I struck a deal with him and he wanted the rhino gone in order to get back the cat's son.""I see. I was grateful when we had made a deal about us training you and you helping us with our supplies. Normally I would have called it a one time deal and I wouldn't have came here to even talk to you. But then you had founded my two long lost brothers from the Wizard Frog. I was in your debt after that. I am willing to help you out this one time. Hopefully to pardon any crimes you may have done towards the rhino king."About that time the beige rhino had arrived and stood next to the leader wolf.
"So, do you know him?""Yes I do, bring him in front of the King Rhino for a discussion."The three of them were now in the King's throne room, with King Rhino looking at Ravage with a bitter taste in his mouth.
"So what's the news?""He had saved my people and had freed my two long lost brothers from the Frog Wizard. He is a good man that got mixed up with the wrong crowd. He is willing to be forgiven for the mistake.""If you trust this man, then I will pardon him for the crime he had done to me. It's a heavy crime to strike down an underworld boss. But since he knows you and you trust him. I am willing to forgive him. If he does a mission for me in return."Ravage was truly frustrated for the assignments he had to do in order to rescue a child, but he had ultimately agreed.
"Name it.""For years the elephants claim that they rule the western turf of this city and I won't have that. Eliminate their underworld boss and I will grant your pardon and the release of the child.""I barely was able to beat you, how am I going to take him on?""He is far weaker than I am, I don't want a turf war to happen which is why I need outside help.""Alright, you have yourself a deal."Ravage had found his way to the west side of town, only this time he had found himself in a hotel establishment. An elephant stood as a receptionist and wore a red outfit with a monkey hat on his head to match it.
"How may I help you?" "I'm looking for the underworld boss.""Do you have an appointment?"Ravage had quickly rushed over to the elephant and slamming his knee against the throat of this poor fool. He started to choke and Ravage had let him go in order to catch his breath, however, he was quick to slam his right hook against the elephant's face and slammed him down against the floor.
"If you don't want death, I suggest you tell me where he is?""10th floor...Penthouse..."Ravage made his way to the 10th floor through the elevator. The doors opened and two elephants looked inside. Brushing passed the both of them, Ravage grabbing the both of their skulls from behind and slamming them against each other. The both of them were knocked out to the ground and KO. Just down the hallway to his left was a massive size elephant with a machine gun turret in front of him.
He spotted this and began to open fire his rounds directly at him. Ravage had hit the deck against the wall cover and watched as the bullets were passing him. The rounds had stopped and it wasn't over yet. A whistle had been called and the nearby doors from the opposite end of the hallway started to open up. Elephant soldiers started to charge directly at him like a stamped. However Ravage had blown a hole down below him and jumped inside to evade it. The entire hotel walls shook and some of the elephants went down below to chase after him. Ravage had no time to waste and started to rush through the hallway ahead of him and turning around, firing a barrage of ki blast straight at the incoming elephants who wanted to fight him. They were crushed, limbs blown off, and their power had all been wiped out after the massive force applied to them. Ravage had made his way back to the turret elephant from below and immediately flew straight passed the ceiling and right hooking the elephant in the chin. Causing him to land straight down on the ground and in front of the turret. Ravage would get on the turret and began firing, ending the elephants life and breaking into the penthouse double doors. The hinges had flown off and the underworld leader sat upon his office chair and looked at the wolf with a raised eyebrow.
"Rather strange, a nameless man entered my domain and I haven't the slightest clue who you are? You don't look like a Red or Black wolf.""Its nothing personal, I just need to get this over with so I can go about my business."Most bosses would be angry at the fact that you did all this. Me? well let's just say i'm going to enjoy killing you slowly."He rose up from his chair and took off his gigantic fur coat. He hurled the coat to the ground and immediately had dashed straight to Ravage. A strong hook to his stomach was more than enough to cause his eyes to almost come out of his sockets. With his fairly large and long size tusk, he slammed it against Ravage's shoulders and rammed him straight against the wall. Now pinned against the wall, Ravage grabbed a hold of both of the elephants tusk and slammed both his boots onto the elephant's body. Causing the elephant to fly backwards and against the wall. Ravage standing in a sideways position and began to fire a blast straight at the elephant who had immediately dodged to the left and began to bomb rush Ravage once again, only this time he would cover his hands in electricity. The sparks would be enough to make Ravage wary and upon him getting closer, Ravage would quickly evade each of the thrown strikes at him. Being cautious was one thing, having the speed to avoid it at all times was another. Ravage had tripped up in his footing and took a straight strike to his stomach. He would deliver his own blow to the elephant, striking his stomach with his frozen strike. It was more than enough to cause the elephant to stumble backwards and being frozen in place soon after.
"Rather troublesome technique... freezing your enemies huh..." With a deep sniff from the elephants trunk, he would then squeeze out acid towards Ravage's eyes. Which would cause temporarily blindness and in effect, cause his senses to be in a daze for a moment. The elephant then shoulder bashed Ravage and sending him straight to the ground. Mounting on top of him and rampaging his face and body at a slow rate but effective at that. Blood was oozing out and now Ravage was at the point of where he could barely breath.
"Who sent you?""Fuck you."The elephant got up from mounting on him and grabbed a hold of his skull, hurling him straight into the wall and finally being in front of him and crushing it through the wall with a strong grip. As he struggled to even move at this point, the elephant began to knee him in the stomach. The pain was more than enough to cause Ravage to drop to his knees.
"I don't like asking twice..."The elephant quickly kneed him in the face and now his throat was pinned against the wall.
"Do you really think you are going to make it out alive in your condition? Give me the name and I will make your death as quickly as possible."Ravage struggle to even make words come out of his mouth and the elephant placing his leg back down to his side.
"Your going to have to kill me."He tried to knee him again, only for his knee to impact the wall as Ravage rolled out of the way. Getting up from the ground and tackling the elephant and causing him to stumble on his back. Mounting on him for a good second, he started to rampage his face in, then started to scratch up his face with poison claws. The elephant had enough of this and began to right hook him in the face. Sending him straight against his desk and Ravage being too injured to even try to get up.
"Lights out kid."The elephant began to cough up blood, worst, his vision began to become impaired and finally.. the elephant had collapsed to the ground. Later on, Ravage had awakened from his injuries and the poison elephant couldn't see anything and the poison was slowly killing him in the process. Ravage had raised to his feet and walked over to the elephant.
"Before you kill me. I want to know the name of the man who sent you...""The Rhino King."A harpoon gun had come out of the wall from behind Ravage and struck him in his back. It was enough to cause him to collapse to his knees. The elephant had now grabbed a hold of Ravage's neck and began to squeeze as tightly as he could. Ravage wouldn't allow it and with quick thinking, he pulled out two knives from his pouch and stabbed the elephant's sight. It would be more than enough to cause the elephant to release him from his grip.
"You are a fucking monster.""I'm worst than a monster, i'm a savage."Ravage had ended it with decapitation, and taking it back with him to the rhino king. who watched Ravage come in with a plastic bag and handed it over to him.
"you did good. As a reward the child as promised.""Will I have to worry about any other rivals that the elephant might have?""As long as a red wolf didn't spot you, you will be fine. I have spoken with the Black wolf leader when you were gone. You helped him during his time of need in exchange for training you. I am willing to offer that same deal with you. If you are willing to track down and eliminate targets for me.""As much as I would like more training, I just can't risk it right now considering that I may have more bounties on my head because of it.""I have many soldiers here that would be watching you around the clock while you worked for me. I am one of the Underground Bosses and I can provide you the protection. Once word gets out that I am the one protecting you, no one would dare place a bounty over your head.""I would have to consider it. It may take me a few days to reach a decision."The rhino king accepted in whether or not he would agree to it. In the meantime Ravage was given the child and he headed down the street towards the destination on where the Father was located at. About that time, a red wolf member had shown up right across from him and wearing a black cloak over his mouth and back.
"You have something that I want...""and what exactly is that?""You ended the life of the Elephant Bishop and you really think you are going to get away with it?"The two wolves had stared down at one another and Ravage slightly tugging the child behind him to go hide.
"This won't take long...get too hiding."The red wolf began to aim both his hands directly at Ravage and both of his palms began to be covered in a red aura and finally, two red balls had formed on his hands and he fired them at Ravage. Ravage had formed both his arms together as a barrier and in an x formation and went into a kneeled stance as both of the blast impacted his arms in quick successions. He grunted in pain and both his arms were covered in burnt marks and his muscles in his arms started to spasm. This wasn't like how his previous opponent had fought, this one was quiet different since his attack was also covered with electricity around it.
