Ark 20 Episode 24: The Wolf and The Lion







Jackie: "Agh!..Why must I go to school Jen! Just look at these tacky clothes!" Jupiter said throwing his hands in the air looking at his sister, his blond hair flowing in the air behind him swaying left and right. His sister giving a small chuckle watching one of her brothers Jupiter cause a ruckus over the school uniform. "You don't see Jackie complaining do you?" Jen replied now putting her focus on her other brother his orange hair swinging with the breeze. "Hey I got use to it Jupiter.. Hey it's better then what we wore back home!" Jupiter now turning to face his brother as he shook his own head as he began to walk backwards still having eye contact with him. " Right now I would rather wear that!" Placing his right hand on his tie as he tugged on it a bit "It's 3005 who wears ties anymore!" His outburst caused others to watch but they didn't care they where pretty much use to it. As the 3 Serizawa's made it to the gate they noticed all the students coming out it seemed School ended early today and they wasnt told seeing this caused Jupiter to remove his school shirt and run towards home. "Free!" Seeing this Jen chased after him as she looked at her other brother and smiled "Im going to catch him I'll see you at home!" Now being alone Jackie begun to walk towards the yard of the school this is where he went when he needed to clear his head. He didnt know why but he could feel that today was going to be one of those nights.



Akiko: Akiko walks out of the school building, holding her favorite book in hand. It was an ok day at school but nothing really special. Tomo and Asuna had to leave for some job interview so she was left alone, again. She was feeling left out lately but that might also be because she was not the best person to be hanging around with lately. She was finding that her mood swings were becoming more frequent and more intense. Last evening Tomo thought it would be fun to try to scare Akiko, she ended up throwing a chair at the wall, shattering it into pieces. She felt horrible that she could demonstrate so much anger but her inside just flared with the feeling. But that was all behind her, she needed to start thinking about how she was going to be controlling her emotions. Akiko was not paying attention at all and ended up slamming into a hard body. Her books tumbles to the floor, she kneels down to pick up the books. While getting up she observes the person that she has run into. The boy has orange hair and is the same height as her. She hugs the books closer to her body and smile. “Oh I am terribly sorry for running into you. My mind was elsewhere and I was not paying attention to where I was walking. “She looks closer at the boy and realizes that she has seen him around school before. She out reaches her hand towards him. “I am Akiko, this is a funny way of meeting someone but hello.



Jackie: "It sure been awhile since I been here" Jackie said to himself as he looked up into sky above the sun shinning in face which caused his eyes to give off an blur. : Jackie were gonna have to talk later about your next test..: Amit said inside Jackie's head.(http://telepics.net/uploads/pictures/big_images/Lion.jpg <-How he looked) Before Jackie was able to resound an girl had slammed herself against him caught off guard Jackie had stumbled over falling on his butt. "Agh..Well that sucked." He said as he looked up to the girl and seeing it was an accident he gave off an smile as he got up on his two feet seeing her hand out and her name Jackie would take her hand and shake firmly as he said. "Names Jackie...Jackie Serizawa pleasure to meet you Akikio." He said with an delight smile. Jackie remembered seeing her around but it was very vague seeing after the trip and him dying on the island anyone's face was great to see. : You have no time for this Jackie!: :Shut it Chia pet im making friends.: As Jackie and Amit where arguing in Jackie's head he shook it as he looked at the female and said " So Akikio where are you off to?"



Akiko: Grasping his hand, Akiko looks at him and smiles. “Well, I am sorry for running into you like that Jackie. First impressions are not always my strong point.” She reaches up with her right hand and pushes back her new black locks. “Well I plan on heading to the coffee shop that is not too far away.” For some reason she could not stop going to the coffee shop by her brother apartment. :Because going to the same place the night you were bitten is such a great idea.: She thought to herself. She now spent a lot of time in the coffee shop, hoping that she would remember a little more of what happened that night. Maybe if she understood what happened then that would allow her to get a grip on what was happening to her now. “They have a great chai there that is to die for. I like to read while I am there.” She holds up her book, I am a nut when it comes to books, always can find time to read a bit.” Looking at him she wonders if he would maybe like to go along with her. She knew that she needed to make some more friends and maybe, just maybe, he was feeling the same way. She swings her backpack in front of her, opening it up she places her book inside of it. “But I have already done a lot of reading today, so maybe you might want to join me for a walk and a drink.”



Jackie: Hearing her ask him to join her for a cup of coffee Jackie formed a smile as he said. " Sure I don't see why not." As Jackie spoke he heard Amits voice ring in his head. " Do you not care about your test you told me you will train what are you doing?" Scarcthing his head Jackie replied inside his head. :Listen...I just died! I need some little R AND R now if you will excuse me ima go and make a friend.: Now walking towards the coffee shop Jackie looked over to her as he said "So tell me about yourself how long you been in the city?" He asked his orange hair flowing in the wind as he tugged on his book bag on his back. As he walked he pulled out his Yo Yo and began to do tricks while they walked each trick got stares from others as Jackie was performing some of his tricks as he waited for AKkio to respond.



Akiko: She walks along the sidewalk beside Jackie, glad that he agreed to go with her. “Thank you for joining me Jackie. My other friends couldn’t make it so it is nice to still be able to go with someone.” Look looks back down at the sidewalk as they walk. It was nice to finally be out with someone other than Tomo and Asuna. She loved them both but it was nice being with someone new. She had a feeling that this school year was going to be very different from the others. “I have always been in the city but lived a very sheltered life. My father didn’t let me out of the house much when I was younger. I live with my brother now and I am finding that the city is filled with a lot of mysterious things.” Just saying that brought back memories of her turning into a monster. She was now a mysterious creature in this city. She looks over and spot Jackie taking out a yo yo and doing some amazing tricks with it. She is amazed as she just continues to watch him. “I haven’t seen you around school this year? Is everything ok?”



Jackie: "Well that is because im new to the city I came here from China well ran here but that's a long story." Jackie said as he then remembered leaving his sister and brother behind when he left China to come here to the new city, Still not forgiving himself Jackie by accident lost control of the Yo Yo as it then hit him against the forehead which caused him to stumble back. "Aghh!" :Maybe that will knock some sense into you Jackie!" Amit said with an chuckle not even replying to Amit Jackie rubbed his forhead as he contied to walk with Akikio as they made it to what seemed to be the coffee shop Jackie went through the doors with her as they where given an table Jackie would take a set in the booth looking out the widow before shifting his attention to her. " I only been in the city for half of this year so that might explain why haven't you seen me."(http://th03.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/347/c/0/pein__pain___tendou__by_lucastsilva-d6q63zm.jpg) "So tell me about yourself." He said making eye contact.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Akiko: Akiko couldn’t help but giggle slightly as Jackie hits himself in the head with a yo yo. She tries to act like she didn’t see it because she did not want to embarrass him. She spots the café and elbows Jackie. “That is the coffee shop I was talking about.” They walk through the door and are automatically seated by a table by the window. She looks behind Jackie and stares at the table that she and Kin sat at just a few weeks ago. She looks back at Jackie. “Well, I keep to myself most times but I think that I need to venture out and get to know new people.” She gestures towards Jackie. “Like meeting you.” The waitress then comes to the table and asks the two of them what they will be having. “I will have a medium chai tea and he will have a…What would you like Jackie?”

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Jackie: "Ah I see I felt the same way when I came here i wasnt much of a talker until I met one or two people but I am happy that your enjoying my company." Jackie had said to her as he then ordered "I would like an Villan bean cold please." After the waitier had got both of there others she left to go get there stuff, "So tell me about yourself Akkio? What do you want to be after high school?" He asked her seeing Jackie was very smart at almost anything using his brain but that all went down hill after he got these powers he really had no use for his smarts anymore which was kind of a bumber for him seeing he could never be what he wanted. As the waiter came back with there drinks Jackie would sit up on the chair as he awaited for her to answer.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Akiko: “Well I am the way I am because my mother died when I was in middle school and instead of sticking together as a family, my brother moved out and my father pretty much drank his way through most of my childhood.” Shaking her head. “Ok, on a happier note, after high school I will be able to go to college. I am still unsure as to what I will be going to college for though.” Akiko takes the drink and holds it in both hands. She brings the cup up to her lips and takes in the scent of the chai. Then her lips cover the side and she sips at the warm liquid slowly. Enjoying the warm that is now slipping down her throat. She places the cup gently on the table and looks at Jackie. “So what about you, what are your plans for the future?” Resting her elbow on the table she lays her head in her palm and wait patiently for his answer.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Jackie: Hearing her Jackie froze as he felt her pain about lossing a mother seeing he lost one aswell his mind would began to flutter with images something he couldnt bare to go through again as he used Amit to clear his head. It took Jackie some time to adjust to the sisuation as he heard her next question as he said "I dont really have any plans to be honset maybe one will hit me when i graduate high school or sooner." He said with an smile as he took a sip of his bean feeling the coldness made Jackie chuckle as he almost caught an brain freeze "Maaaaan that hit the spot." He said with an smile before long he heard sirens in the distance as he turned to the window he saw in the distance an burning building as people began to run for there lives Jackie then stood up as he said "Lets go check it out!"

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Akiko: Akiko grasp her chai, finishing off the cup of the warm liquid. She looks down at the empty cup, she could feel the warmth spread all throughout her body. She looks up and smiles at Jackie. “You will find something you want to do.” Looking out the window Akiko follows the sounds of the sirens. Looking in that direction she can spot black smoke rising above the buildings. Akiko dug into her purse for a couple of dollars and slammed the money on the table. Standing up, she slips her arms into her jacket and nods to Jackie. “I agree, lets go see what is happening.” Both storming out of the café, they hurry to the building that appears to be on fire.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Jackie: (http://www.odt.co.nz/files/featured_gallery/2009/11/raging_house_fire_in_dunedin_9815200534.jpg) As Jackie and Aikio made it to the scene it seemed an house in the projects was on fire, the heat was so strong that it caused many to back away all but Jackie seeing he was use to this type of heat due to his powers. *BOOM* From outside Jackie could see an explosion happening inside an widow as an mother came trying to run inside but was stopped by the Fire depermant. "MY SON IS IN THERE I HAVE TO SAVE HIM!" :Its too dangerous get back!: Hearing them two Jackie knew he had to do something but then he heard the voice of Amit. :No Jackie this is none of Ur business!: But before he could finish Jackie would look at Akiko as he said "I'll be back!" He then ran inside busting inside the firey doors people who watched started in amazement. As he started to run up the stairs he could hear a fatal cry getting closer.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Using his Roaring Lion blood Jackie changed his fit, Jackie new fit was an dark black pants that seem to be able to withstand Jackie's instense heat and smoke along with an yellow and dark pellet whihc staps around his upper body, barley showing any skin as for his face his whole mouth is covered by an yellow and black mask which has holes that allow Jackie to push out smoke though the mouth piece as his his upper face is covered with an Hoddy. Hs arms are strapped with an arm bands that holds his Yo Yo's in the wirst holding as Jakcie is allowed to shoot out hIs Yo Yos at will.'This Armor also procets Jackie from damage seeing thanks to the Reaper Jackie can take mulit gunshots and still be able to move seeing this Armor is blessed with the Roaring Lion blood.(http://www.destructoid.com//ul/275950-MK1.jpg) As Jackie left another male would run up to Akikio as he said "My daughter she's only 12 I cant find her anywhere she was last seen on the fourth floor what can I do!" He shouted.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Akiko: The heats blasted her face as they both got closer to the burning building. She could hear the screams and cries of the people gathered around the building. Akiko kept turning around, watching the people rush around. A mother who lost her child in the flames. Just then Jackie was running full force into the building. She couldn’t believe that he would just rush in without knowing the circumstances of the situation. She waited a few minutes for him to come outside but there was no sign of his coming back out of the building. Just then a man comes running up to Akiko and grips his arm. "My daughter she's only 12 I can’t find her anywhere she was last seen on the fourth floor what can I do!" He shouted. Akiko looked around, unsure as to what she could do to help this man. Then she remembered how the beast within her had helped her catch the murderer. Maybe it was time for her to let the beast out again.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">“Talk to the fire department, Sir.” After redirecting the man, Akiko ran to the back of the building. Checking the streets to make sure that no one was there. The she took the time to relax and speak with the beast within her. –Ok, here we are again. I need your help to make this city better. We will work together, as one, to save the ones in need.- Once again she could feel the claws of the beast travel up her spin and rest on her shoulders. She held onto the feeling of the beast. She arches forward as an uncomfortable feeling erupts in her mouth. Reaching up to her mouth she feels as her old canine teeth fall out and sharp fangs are replaced them. The ache travels down to her fingers as her nails lengthen to claws. She rubs her head against her shoulders, feeling her ears lengthen and come to a point. The last discomfort to come was the tuffs of fur that protruded from her arms and legs. Looking at the brick building she spreads out her fingers, looking at the new fresh sharp claws. Using her claws she climbs up the building. Breaking the glass of the forth floor window, she jumps right in. Covering her mouth with her hands as the smoke encases her. Her red eyes glow as she looks around the tiny room.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Jackie: As Jackie walked through the room he had heard glass shatter on an floor he was going to see if it was anyone trying to get out but he kept pushing. "Hello! ANYONE IN HERE!" He yelled out before seeing an small boy under his bed quickly going to the boy Jackie would placed his hand out the boy, as the boy grabbed on Jackie would place him on his back before heading up as the way he came out was covered with fire it wouldnt effect Jakcie but the small boy needed to be free. Moving up stairs Jackie would began to hear an small girl scream as Jackie looked he would see an beast which reminded him of Kin the one who took his arm. Quickly running to the girl blocking her form the beast Jackie would stare it deep in the red eyes "Who the hell are you!" As he yelled some parts of the building would fall down around them.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Akiko: Hearing the little girl scream, Akiko rushes into the room that she is curled up in. But she is not alone; standing in front of her is a strange creature that she has not met. The creature is holding a small boy and shielding the girl from her. Moving to the side swiftly as a piece of ceiling fell. Akiko rolled her eyes at how the creature was standing. She knew he was protecting the children but they did not have time for this. “If we all want to get out of here alive we need to move now and ask questions later.” Akiko moved closer to the little girl. “I will take the girl, you take the boy. We can go back the way I came, the flames are not as high that way. Can you jump from tall heights?” Not wanted to grab the little girl yet, she wanted to make sure the other creature understood that she was also there to help

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Jackie: Hearing her speak Jackie would lead the kid out using his Hell Rasier. A move where Jackie reserves from localized air pressure, that means that when he pull in, the air around him becomes "thin". This in itself is an attack because it makes it difficult to breathe. It also suffocates the ability for natural fire to exist, as it feeds on oxygen. In this way Jackie can also be able to smother fires out slowly by drawing the air pressure out of the air and absorbing localized oxygen.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">By affecting the localized air pressure, Jackie also be able to make any container not containing a void pop after a certain limit, which would take quite a bit of effort. But once the air pressure drops so much, the air inside of a contained object will be pulled from said object to disperse, as when one place becomes devoid of air or thin of it, a highly abundant source will thin itself to level out the area. Also the oxgen is stored inside of the body through excess hemoglobin in the pleural space outside the lungs and in the lung tissue itself. The blast itself can either impact as a concussive blast or a burn. Thanks to his training Jackie is now able to pulse the attacks out. He used it to suck up the fire for he could get through the door as he was safely outside Jackie would leap on top of the building as he began to head to the back of the building.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Akiko: Akiko went behind the creature and scooped up the little girl. The girl looked at Akiko in fright, Akiko did not want the little girl to see her as a monster. “Shhhh sweetheart, we are going to take you out of the building and take you to your dad.” Akiko pushed the little girls hair away from her face. “Thank you, Miss” The little girls voice was quiet, the little girl reminded Akiko of herself when she was younger. Akiko watched as the creature cleared the room of all of the fire. “Want to see something cool?” She said to the little girl. When the little girl nodded, Akiko ran full force towards the open window, she flew out of it, hugging the girl’s body against hers. Her feet land on the ground with a large thud, quickly she falls to her knees and allows the little girl to stand on her own.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">“Your father is in the front of the building, tell him you found a way out through the back. Us girls have to stick together and keep some secrets right?” The little girl nodded at Akiko and ran to the front of the building. Akiko stood, she was still wondering about the other creature she had come upon in the building. Then it hit her, -where the hell was Jackie….wait- “Let’s check this side of the building” Akiko heard a few fire fighters making their way around to the side of the building. Stepping into the shadows, Akiko makes her way to the back of the building. Coming face to face with the other creature.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Jackie: Once seeing the other creature Jackie would get on guard but due to him using his attack before it weaken him causing him to go back to his regaul state. "Well That sucks." He said with an smirk on his face before hearing Amit in his head "You idoit I hope this tihng eats you alive!" The creature would now see Jackie as he got in an fighting stance just in case things was going to get ugly he wasn’t going down without an fight. "So who are you?" As Jackie was waiting for the creature to show himself he began to think of Kin and how he had to fight for his life. Holding on to his golden arm he remembered losing an arm he promised himself he wasn't going to loss another one or anything in that manner. As the creature finally came Jackie came in his stance trying to figure out this wolf game but then he remembered that voice he heard it sounded like Akiko just a bit more hidden putting two and two together Jackie would return to his normal clothing looking at the beast as he said "Your Akikio arnt you i have to say you look pretty epic.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Akiko: Akiko watched as the creature transformed to his regular form. There stood Jackie, her pointed ear perked up as he asked her who she was. She opens her mouth and laughs, showing off her pearly white fangs. She couldn’t believe that the guy she was hanging out with today was also a creature like her. -Well he was not like me, I wonder what kind of beast he was.- Akiko found the beast within her. –Thank you again for your assistance, we saved another life today. With both of us connected we can and will make a difference for this city. - The beast inside of her growled, as if trying to speak with Akiko, this was the first time she had even heard the beast. Even when she was sick on her bed after the bite, the beast would not communicate with her. The beast gripped her shoulders with its claws and slithered back down deep inside of her. Akiko felt as if the beast was closer to her this time. –I wonder if every time I shift, the beast will become more and more of me. - Closing her eyes and relaxing, she could feel the beast claws its way back to deep inside of her. Her fangs disappeared, her nails went back to normal, and the fur that was once on her arms and legs were gone.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Jackie: Looking at her Jackie smiled wildly it's been a while since he met someone nice that had an ability similar to his, "How long could you do that Akikio?" Jackie asked scathing the back of his head with an soft smile forming on his face, if she would answer he would reply "Well I been doing this since I got in the city but it's a long story. Hey it's getting late would you like to come over my house my Aunt is making some sushi and my sis is making some cookies that is if you don't have other plans." Jackie left out his brother seeing the fact they weren’t seeing eye to eye at the moment.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Akiko: “Well I was bitten a few weeks ago and I just shifted for the first time on Saturday.” She laughed a little; she was still very surprised by what had happened to her. And for some reason the beast almost felt like it belonged there. She had always felt like something was missing but now that she had the beast, she felt complete. “What type of creature are you? I am a Lycan, and so far I am enjoying what I am” Akiko thought about his words, she looked down at her phone for the time. “Yes I do not have to be anywhere. Wait; is your family like you?” How many creature were out there, oh she had a lot to learn.'

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Jackie: "Not everyone, but like I said it's a really really reallllly Long story." Hearing she would tag alone brought a smile to Jackie's face it’s been an long time since he had a friend seeing Connor had vanished on him so he really had no one to hang out with. Leading the way to his home Jackie would turn to Akiko engaging in conversations’ until they reached their destination.
