- Do you even have a plan to find the wolf? - I asked Wes, who was pointing the way for Doc, who was driving his truck, into the desert.
- Here, look carefully. On the road, you can see traces that clearly belong to the wolf, but at the same time, he moved on two paws. Also, over there, if you look closely, you can see crushed bushes and broken branches. It's definitely Yenaldooshi. - Wes said confidently, pointing at the barely visible footprints.
Frankly, it's amazing that Mr. Green noticed them. It looks like the wolf moved at high speed and in big jumps, so it left a rare trail. At the same time, we ourselves were driving at a decent speed, but Wes's eye still managed to notice them. That's what professional means.
- Wey! (Marvelous!). - Fisk exclaimed, sitting next to me. Apparently I wasn't the only one who was impressed by Wes' skills.
- It reminds me of when you and I were looking for Yeti in the Himalayas. At that time, your tracker skills were also invaluable. - Max said with nostalgia in his voice.
- You're right. It was a long time ago. – with the same tone, Wes answered, while continuing to look for the path that the wolf took.
- Looks like we're there. - said Grandfather, when we saw a large crevice on the horizon leading to a narrow canyon, where, apparently, Loboan jumped.
- Looks like we'll have to leave the car. - Doc said, and as we pulled up to the crevasse, he stopped the truck and we all got out of it.
- There are twenty meters for sure. - Max said, looking inside the crevice and measuring the distance to the ground.
- It's good that I took the climbing equipment. True, it is only enough for two. - Wes said, pulling a rope and two pairs of harnesses from his backpack.
- I'll go down without insurance. And Fisk can jump himself. I think Lex will do without equipment. - Doc said, letting the two grandfathers use the equipment.
- Are you sure? - Wes asked doubtfully, because he still does not know about my features. And Doc is much stronger than an ordinary person. I think a jump from a twenty-seater height, he will survive without any problems.
- No problem. Right, Fisk? - I said with a smile to my furry friend.
- Uru. Umrrrr. (Yeah. Look). - Fisk purred happily, and jumped into the crevice.
Flying in free fall for about ten meters, Fisk braked on a branch sticking out of a rock, after which he jumped off another rock and went down like an assassin without any problems.
- TA-dah!!! & Fisk shouted enthusiastically, throwing his hands up. Poseur.
- Not bad. Can you do that? - I shouted, after which I stood with my back to the crack and just jumped down, my back forward and not even intending to do anything.
- Stop! - I heard Wes scream, who was horrified by my tricks.
*BOOM*
- Khe khe, but I didn't think about the dust. - I said quite calmly, climbing out of the small crater that I left with my body. I didn't even turn into an alien, and just trusted my own protection, relying on a small boost from the tattoo.
- Whoa! - Fisk showing me the thumbs up. He obviously liked the way I smacked. Well, what can I say, sometimes I want to show off.
- Are you okay? - Mr. Green asked worriedly, leaning forward and trying to examine my condition.
- Don't worry, Wes. For him, this is just a trifle. - I heard the voice of Max, who did not worry about me at all. And what would, he knows that I can survive much more dangerous things.
- But… But how is he…. - Wes asked in shock, who had previously considered me an ordinary teenager. Apparently, the fact that I cured Kai somehow slipped out of his mind.
- Long story, let's go down faster. That wolf could hear the noise. - said Max, putting on a harness. But I didn't think that the wolf could hear me ... That's what the show off brings to.
*WOOOOOOO*
- And here is the wolf, gave a voice. - I said, looking in the direction from where the wolf howl sounded.
When the old mens and Doc came down, we all went on, making our way through a narrow canyon. After about half a kilometer of the way, the canyon ended, and we came to a free plateau, which turned into a very deep crater, at the bottom of which could hear the noise of welding.
From time to time, Loboan could also be heard howling, who seemed to be unhappy about something. Realizing that we had found our target, we all ducked and quietly began to creep to the edge of the plateau, where we saw the wolf himself, who was constructing something from the stolen devices.
As soon as Wes saw the shape of what he thought was Yenaldooshi, he immediately pointed a shotgun at him, and with real bullets. True, this was of little use, because Loboan heard us sneaking up behind him. He really is a wolf, so he has a wolf hear.
As Wes prepared to pull the trigger, Loboan spun around and lunged at Mr. Green, wanting to tear him apart with his sharp claws. Before Loboan could touch Wes, a blue barrier appeared in front of the alien wolf and took the full blow.
While Grandpa helped Wes get up and out of the danger zone, Loboan was rushed by Fisk, who decided to engage the wolf in close combat while Doc prepared to attack. Quickly donning his power gauntlet, Doc fired a wave of energy at the wolf that pushed him off the plateau and he went into the crater.
- Finally. - I exclaimed as I noticed that my Omnitrix had finished processing the new DNA sample.
I have long wanted to try to fight some kind of alien in the form of the same alien, to compare how well I will perform in battle if the enemy has the same powers. I think this is a good chance to experiment.
We made it on time, and Loboan clearly hasn't finished the device he's been building from stolen junk yet, so the plan to be quiet can be dropped, and it's time to have some fun.
- I'm done with him. - I quickly shouted and also jumped into the crater, turning into the Blitzwolfer in the air, which was no different from the Loboan in front of me, except for the blue eyes, the symbol of the Omnitrix and clothes.
*WOOOOOOOOOO*
After recovering from the fall, and noticing that I was flying towards him, Loboan decided to attack me with his sonic howl. I decided to respond in kind, and opening my mouth into four parts, I fired a blue sonic howl, straight at Loboan's attack. My attack was clearly stronger, and realizing that he was losing, the wolf decided to run away. Only who will allow him.
When the wolf tried to jump onto the crater wall to escape, I jumped on him myself and dragged him into close combat, which was no different from the fight of the yard dogs. That is, cruel, I would even say bestial, and without any technique. It just so happens that the best way to fight in this form is to become like a beast, trust your instincts and attack your opponent, wanting to tear him to pieces with your fangs.
Having received, during our collision, several bites and scratches, which, however, have already healed, I answered my opponent in the same way. Unlike me, Loboan could not heal instantly, the fact that, realizing that he was losing here, the wolf tried to escape again, but I again prevented him by attacking him with a sonic howl.
Paradoxically, the most effective way to deal with Loboan is to use a sonic attack. Like all dogs, Loboans have very sensitive hearing and loud noises cause them great pain. And despite the fact that this race has the ability to use a loud high power sonic attack, they are not immune to such attacks directed at them. Apparently, his own howl does not affect Loboan in any way, which cannot be said about other sources.
- Rrara unnnnn (Stop! Please stop!). - growled, and then my rival whined, pressing his ears back to protect himself from my howl.
There is nothing strange that I was able to understand what he said, after all, I turned into a representative of the same race. In addition, Omnitrix has a universal translator, although it does not always work. In this case, it looks like he was able to translate Loboan's whining.
But what surprised me was that he spoke, albeit in his own language. Previously, I checked his mind with telepathy and did not notice any intelligence, only animal instincts and a goal that he had to fulfill at any cost.
But now, I feel in his mind self-awareness, and in no way inferior to a person. And now, he felt fear and pain. In addition, his previously glowing purple eyes changed their color to brown, and a pupil appeared that was not there before. Something strange is going on here.
- So you're intelligent? - I asked in surprise as I stopped using the sonic howl and tied Loboan with magical ribbons.
- Lex, what happened in there? - shouted Grandpa, who was still on the plateau with Doc, Fisk, and Wes.
- I neutralized Loboan. But something is wrong with him. - I said, after which, having picked up the wolf with the help of telekinesis, I took off and climbed to the plateau.
- So he's not Yenaldooshi after all? - Wes asked, still wanting to shoot the wolf with his shotgun.
- Yes, he's definitely an alien. You yourself saw how I copied his DNA with the help of the Omnitrix and turned into the same 'Yenaldooshi'. - I said to Wes.
- Max told me about your watch, so I already knew I was wrong. - said Mr Green with a sigh, lowering his weapon.
- You already doubted that it wasn't Yenaldooshi. Otherwise, you wouldn't have ignored the legends of your people and tried to kill a werewolf with a shotgun. - said Max, who knew his friend very well.
- Yes, you are right. According to Navajo legends, Yenaldooshi can be killed with a silver medallion sprinkled with drops of juice from a special cactus. But after what happened to Kai, I wanted to deal with this creature myself. The old fashioned way. - Looking angrily at the immobilized Loboan, Wes said.
This is what revenge does to people. Even a man like Wes, who devoutly follows the traditions of his people, is ready to throw away everything on which he grew up, for the sake of revenge on the creature because of which his beloved granddaughter suffered.
And even the fact that everything is fine with Kai now does not lessen his desire to kill Loboan. He is now stopped only by the remnants of his honor and unwillingness to kill an immobilized enemy. Well, Max, of course, is also trying to calm his friend.
- Okay, we caught this alien werewolf, but now what? - Doc said, voicing a good idea.
- Now, we'll talk. - I said and looked into the eyes of Loboan, who looked at us with fear. It's time to find out the whole ins and outs of this story.
