Chapter 12: Chapter 4 Episode 9
"I am sick of following that boar of a man orders." Complained a red head man in leather armor. "If I could I would slit his throat…" Slashing his sword through the air he huffed. "What I would do to bathe in his blood with the very whores he mock us in front of."
"Bento, brother."
Sheathing his sword Bento head shot thirty yards away where his younger brother stood next to a tree. "What is it that you want?" he growled.
"I found a woman."
Smiling crookedly, a gleam marbled across Bento's eyes. "Does she lives?"
"I believe so."
Licking his lips with a gallop, Bento ran over to his brother's location. "I never had dark meat before. " Bending over the woman he caressed her face then ran his hands down her body grasping every curve. "Excellent work Tentru." Grinning uncontrollably Bento began to rip off his armor then lowered his trousers. "I guess I'm going have to give that boar my gratitude." Tearing away the lady clothing Bento head dove into her breasts suckling them then moved up to her neck as he settled on top of her.
"Hrrm" breathed, the woman slowly began stirring awake.
"It's okay." whispered Bento into her ear. "All will be okay." Positioning himself to penetrate the woman, ahhwooch, his prey latched on his neck. "Ahhh!" Screamed Bento throwing his hand to his neck trying to stop the downpour of blood. "Chujo!"
Jumping into action and leaping forward the second eldest thrust his spear at the SouBei's face,ding, hitting the ground. Ding, ding, ding, swinging again and again, squish, Chujo's pierced his brother in the head. "Bento." trembling at his brother's death, Chujo dropped his spear.
Tossing her now dead meal in the air the SouBei rolled over on all fours. Launching herself at Chujo she pinned him on the ground. Snarling at her prey, bakwish, the undead bashed its fist across his face, killing him. Bashing his head again and again, the corpse began to pry open his skull. "Nutri!" slinging her head back at the sound of her brother's voice the Inkan growled slowly then partook in her meal gnashing into his cranium.
"Nutri…" flash stepping forty yards in a blink Tecto couldn't stop his sister from digging into her aggressor's head consuming pieces of his brain. "Nutri…" snatching her off the man, the Inkan stood his sibling upright. "Look at me."
Zooming through a tunnel of her prey's memories Nutri blinked into consciousness once they faded away. "Tecto." she spoke in confusion. "Why are you?" sliding her eyes towards the dead bodies on the side the Inkan took a step back at the trickle of blood on the side of her face. "Tecto…" looking at the bodies again she took a deep breath. "Did I?"
Rocking his head, Tecto replied. "Yes…but JunBee does the same…except with animals."
Collapsing in tears, Nutri held herself. "What am I?"
Sighing, Tecto kneeled. Bringing his sister's head to his chest then tapped foreheads. "You are Nutri The Inkan, even through death." Dropping her head at the thought Nutri felt sunk into his chest as the darkness swallowed her and tears streamed forth.
"I have to leave the village." Spoke Nutri softly after about fifteen minutes of sobbing. "At the moment I am a threat to those I love." Sighing at the thought, the Inkan bobbed her head like a buoy in the water. "I will take responsibility by dominating this condition of mine and seeking out my creator."
"You have already gone against fate once by keeping your mind intact while all others went into a frenzy. This to…I know you can conquer. And to see it, I will accompany you, JunBee will come as well."
"The kids."
"They can stay in the village." exclaimed Tecto. "But it will be their will. I will talk to the children, now come along and get some rest."
Exhaling Nutri replied. "As you wish."

Hmph, Hmph, Hmph Samson breaths came out slow and steady. "If your quirk works the way I believe…" Replaying Abbott's words in his mind the EVOL lifted his wolverine nose into the air pinpointing his prey. "... a Genrill would be a fine specimen for you to hunt. Be cautious, the beast is extremely dangerous. Here is one more piece of advice for knowledge is power." Abbott told him. "Male Genrill's antlers absorb energy from the sun while the obsidian gems located on their forehead, chest and hooves absorb electricity. And watch out for the fork of a horn on its nose; it emits a devastating frequency."
"Huuuuf." Raising his arms with an exhale Samson manifested a bow. Placing his hand where the string supposed to be strands of boar-like hair projected out. Entangling together the steel wire strands became an arrow. "Haaaf" sighing with a lift of his nose The SouBei pinpointed his prey, calculated the wind speed, velocity, and direction along with dozen of other factors in a matter of seconds. Practically feeling the touch of his father's hands as he let go of the arrow the young EVOL pushed away the thought of parents.
Yeent, toosh, rotating his head at the sight of a bolt of lightning lash out and smack the arrow out the way Samson ran in an arc releasing even more arrows with the same result. Calculating the distance between his projectiles and his target by scent he determined it was a little over a hundred yards away. Grinning at a flash of an idea, fawoosh, the SouBei released another arrow. Yeent, lightning leapt from the ground pouncing on the arrow but, woop the projectile swerved to the right. Holding onto the wire streaming from his arrow woop, woop, toosh Samson weaved two more bolts of lightning before a third destroyed it.
"Huff" Bending cheetah legs with an exhale Samson fell to his wolverine paws then sprang across the grassland in strides spanning two hundred meters within seconds. Grrr, growling upon breach of the Quintessence domain, flashes of rock walls springing up appeared. Following his minds lead boosh, boosh, boosh The SouBei blocked and weaved bolts of lightning, on his advance.
"Valkum?" Confused at the appearance of the spirit, Samson's head and body followed it into a zigging arc. Maneuvering behind the Elk like beast Valkum dug his claws in the ground then launched himself forth like a missile with the use of his wings. Trailing not far behind him the SouBei watched the spirit wither away to nothingness.
"Hummmm '' Releasing a bellow, the Genril bucked in a half circle then rammed its head into his aggressor stopping Samson in his tracks. "Hmmm" unleashing another wail, the Quintessence launched the SouBei into the sky. "Haaa…" absorbing solar energy into his antlers "...hmmmm" the Quint fired a sunbeam from its mouth.
"Waaaa!" Spiraling through the air, arms and legs flailing, Samson fought to regain control. "What's?" Turning his head the SouBei eyes bulged out at the sight of the beam of energy heading his way. "Ahh." Screaming to force his body to follow orders, a vision of Valkum creating a barrier of light flickered in his mind. "Ahh" closing his eyes, booooom, the sunbeam collided with the light barrier exploding.
"Yaaaa" caught up in the shockwave of the explosion Samson rode its tide until it died down and allowed him to float up in a proper position. Shaking his head, SouBei laughed at the spinning world that threatened to drag him back to earth. "That was fun." Feeling a rush of energy, part of the young EVOL wanted to do it again. "Ha" taking a deep breath "woosh woosh his wings beat the air.
Inhaling fwoosh Samson zipped thirty thousand feet into the air pausing only to catch scents of the world all around him. Allowing his sense of smell to wash over the land and carry back the various aromas, the SouBei licked his beak, tasting the very essence of the Genrill. Woof ascending higher into the heavens Samson angled into a dive.
"Hirrum '' detecting the SouBei within his domain the Genrill took a deep inhale then let out a bugling roar that set its forked horn a vibrating.
"Ahhhh" hollering and covering his ears from the wave of sound slamming into him, Samson fell into a tumble. "Ah." Rolling to his feet after a few tucks, SouBei threw his head to the left. "Woah." Spinning around to a trumpet of a roar, Samson broke into a sprint but it was too late.
Bloop, ramming into his aggressor the Genrill launched him into the air.
"Yaa…" Flipping upside down strands of hair streamed out of the SouBei's arm creating a lasso. Hurling the rope around his quarry's neck while manifesting a sword in his right hand. Ding, grinning at the sound and vibration of his hair tightening, flung Samson was yanked downwards.
"Roon" unleashing a final roar, the Genrill's head slid off its neck hitting the ground with a thud. Feeling the energy rise from his stomach to his face the SouBei eyes flashed red as he dove onto the rolling head like a dog on a chew toy.
Raising his attention to the body of the Quint, Samson crept over to the morsel participating in its deliciousness when a wail made him whip his head around.
