(( AIM RP between Light and me, with Kefka and Chaka :3))
Power... That's all the dog felt, was extreme strength running through his veins. He had returned. Fully returned. No longer a captive to those hairless beasts to be tormented, avenged his parents... Kefka was a thing to be feared, for his ambitions were beginning to run away with him in his head. The moon shown down on him, but all that was clearly visible was the red on him and the glint from his eyes. A grin spread across his muzzle, revealing his teeth at the memories...
Those three lions, their blood spilled on his own coat. He'd had to kill the first two quicker, but the last he finished slowly... So much slower than what he'd witnessed as a pup from his parents.The pain had to be excruciating, exactly how Kefka had wanted it. He found himself cackling a bit from it.
The lake was to his Northwest, he knew exactly where it was. Yes... It would be the perfect place for what he was planning- to overturn nature itself, to reverse the food chain so to speak. But, of course (and most sadly) he couldn't do it alone. The thought had blossomed in the dog's head not long ago, but it was such a powerful drive that the last couple of days he'd been looking for others of his species to recruit to the cause. That was what he was doing tonight. Screw sleeping, he didn't need it, but he kept up a powerful pace, seeking the smell of other dogs, and there was a faint scent he'd picked up...
-
She was unaware. It wasn't a good thing, but she was. The pup snorted, headbutting the young boar. It was a baby, not much older than herself, actually, probably younger, and it'd ran over her. She wasn't pleased, and now she was making sure to give it what it had coming!
Now, Chaka was probably the bully inside the large litter of 13. Not that her family was particularly mean or anything, and she could be quite nice to them! But you get grumpy when you have o compete attention with 12 other siblings. Especially when plenty of them thought they could fly. She didn't think that; it was wrong. Her dad was weird. She liked her family, it was fine. But it was crazy.
Back on to the matter, here she was kicking around the baby boar, barking and slapping at it with paws, biting at its heels. It squealed and squealed in confusion, unsure of what was going on until finally it ran off, just in time for Chaka too, as the adult had finally caught track of its lost kid and would've killed her if the kid hadn't gotten away soon enough. Chaka would have been able to escape, though. She'd just have to leave the kid alone once mommy came in sight. But he timing was good, and as the two vanished into the distance, the pup stood huffing in the trampled grass.
"And ya better remember not tah step on me! " she snorted, sitting down. It was a bit obvious that Chaka was going to be a strong dog, once grown. She already got it going for a pup; she'd totally shown that kid who was boss! She also didn't back down much, rather hard-headed and short-tempered. But she knew when she was beat.
But she hadn't been. not yet.
-
"Squealing?" he said to himself curiously as the sound reached his ear. That slight scent got stronger the farther he pushed into the night until his eyes fell upon the oddest little sight. Red, he could tell since it matched the shade of his paws. And it was in the shape of a little wild dog... How cute. Kefka watched from a bit of a distance the scene before him play out before approaching.
"I'll bet that was thrilling," he finally said, breaking the silence hung in the night after the little scuffle and approaching smoothly. He appeared out of the shadows with a calm enough voice, but a twisted grin on his muzzle. It was a wild dog... A pup, but a pup with a great deal of spunk who had the guts to take on a piglet. He'd seen a lot of weak youths around, this wasn't one of them. Most would be upset about getting their coat a little muddy. "Your name?" It wasn't so much of a question as it was a demand, there was no room for questions in his voice.
-
She blinked, flicking an ear back before her head nsapped in the direction of the other dog, both ears perked. She ahrdly saw the male right now, because of the darkness. She did see his rd, though. It was a different shade than her own, but red. Very, very red.
"Who wants to know? " Somehow, she wasn't afraid of him. See, Chaka thought of herself better. Unless it was proved that something could beat her. Untill something beat her, she was better. She probably knew in the abck of her mind an adult like this could beat her no problem; but she needed proof. You never knew what could happen.
-
Kefka got closer and started to circle around her thoughtfully, until she spoke. Kefka had expected a nice answer- a name. Nobody dared to cross him, not in the time that he'd been back to the savannah. Most had the common sense to pick up on the kind of dog that he was.
"Don't question me, whelp!" he snarled, snapping his jaws just short of her muzzle intentionally. He stopped his temper from escalating any more than that for now, though he would let it run rampant should need be. Freaking out potential members was no way to gain loyalty of potential pack members. He took note, however, of her behavior. She reminded him of... himself. The pup took no crap. "Just answer me, that'll make everything easier," Kefka said strongly. Something in him gave him the feeling, though, that the pup would further resist.
-
Despite the larger males snap, the pup managed to growl, ears going from perked to flat against her skull, pulling her face away a few inches and raising the edges of her lips slightly. "I've got no reason to be nice to you, " She snorted, swishing her tail as the short fur along her spine prickled.
"I'll answer you when you answer me. Who's asking? " He hadn't proved it just yet.
-
That was it. He stopped his circling and almost instantly put his left paw on her chest-belly area, knocking her onto her back and held her there, the other paw was prepared to hold her head down, but from where his paw was, she'd have to be made of rubber to reach his paw with her teeth. She could attempt to claw at his front leg, but he wouldn't care, he would almost enjoy that small pain.
"Look, I don't answer to anyone until I so desire. Tell me your name, I'll tell you mine, but you will give me what I want first." He said quietly, though his voice had lost none of its authority.
-
At first, she whuffed slightly, kicking her paws out to his leg, but only for a moment. Chaka wasn't dumb, and now was one of those moments she'd have to take it. She was beat. She was a pup, and this guy had proved that he wasn't about to get bested by her. However, she didn't cower beneath his paw, or even show any sign of fear. Defeat wasn't sometihng to be afraid of.
"Fine. " She huffed, brows furrowing as she looked up at him. "I'm Chaka. "
-
Much better, Kefka thought to himself. He didn't let her up, but he did lighten his grip just a little. "My name is Kefka, and it was me who wanted to know. Chaka, you have a lot of potential, are you aware of it?" He asked, ears perked forward as much as they would go. His sick grin vanished, but his expression wasn't unpleasant. In fact, in some odd way, it was a little warm, mostly because he realized exactly what the pup's attitude was now. Even pinned down helpless by a strange adult male, the girl showed astounding courage.
"Do you know how different you are from others of your age?"
-
Its not that Chaka was a mean, twsited kid. She was simply strong headed and short tempered, at least for now. She was, after all, still a pup, easy toshape up. She was slightly confused by where he was going, though, another sign of her pupness.
"What do you mean? "
-
"I thought not," Kefka said smoothly. "Dogs these days are weak. Most other pups would be cowering and squirming to get out from under me, whimpering and piddling themselves. Most dogs would have just let that piglet go at your age. You've got spunk, kid." He said, pondering whether or not he should let her up yet, but decided to keep her on the ground for now. He kind of liked the power, it's not like he was squishing her or anything, just enough force to keep her stuck.
"You see, Chaka, I've got a proposition. I'm trying to do something big- really big, but I need other strong dogs to help me, I can't do it alone no matter how strong I am." There was a little bit of resentment in the end of that sentence, but it had only lingered for a moment. "You seem like the kind of dog who wants to be on top, why shouldn't our species be at the top of the food chain here? Wouldn't you like to have even the lions give their utmost respect to you?" He asked. "Dogs like you and me, we can make it happen, and that's what I'm doing, searching for strong individuals like yourself. What do you think?" He asked, removing his paw. Should she refuse... he started to ponder abduction. He couldn't just let a strong youth like this go.
-
For now, the level of what Kefka spoke about was lost to the pup. She was a different pup, but a pup nonetheless, and her reason for even considering his ffer was, perhaps, simply to be on top. On top was good. Kefka didn't know how clever saying that had been, but when you had 12 siblings, being on top was pretty damn good.
Chaka sat up once released, though made no move to try and get away. She felt nothing towards lions, they were there. But she wasn't so sure now.. this guy seemed to dislike them. "That doesn't sound so bad, " she twitched her tailtip, looking away for a moment. She still wouldn't be thoughtfull enough to consider how her parents would react to her vanishing, and later on, she wouldn't exaclty care as much. Kefka was lucky Chaka was a pup, or she'd be giving him much more trouble.
"You mean. On top on top, like strong and stuff, not stuck with a buncha other pups? "
-
The fact that much of what he had said would get lost to her never reached his mind until he got her reaction. Kefka was robbed of his childhood innocence painfully early in his life, he didn't really remember what it was like to be a normal pup because he never had the chance to be one. Still he picked up on the fact that she didn't understand (nor care to try to understand) much of what he'd said. He was, however, relieved that she didn't try to run. Saved them both the energy.
"Yeah, on top on top. On top of the world," Kefka said. This was his ultimate goal, to have everyone obey him under his "empire," despite how unrealistic it was, he still thought it was plausible if he got enough to follow him. "Wouldn't it be great?"
-
She twitched her tailtip, curling it around her paws, her small mind working. "Yeah, it would be. " She tapped her chin, looking up at him again. "So, you'd be the leader, " She said, at least knowing the general pack concept. "What would I be? "
She pondered a bit. "And when do we go? If my folks come soon, they won't let me go. " She wasn't too interested in staying that much anyway. To her, it didn't seem like such a drastic change of life. She'd be wrong, but she'd live with it.
-
"I'd be the leader, and for now, you'd probably be in just a general youth rank..." He said quite honestly, gears cranking in his head. "I'm going to have a counsel of sorts, a second-in-command, if you will. When you're just a little older than you are now, I'd imagine you'd have a spot on it. I see a lot of potential in you, Chaka. As for going- the best thing I can think of is that you come with me now and travel with me while I search for more strong dogs," he said. There was the option of swinging by later to pick her up after she had a place claimed, but she might tell her parents and not be able to go. "Do you need anything or can you leave now?" he asked, hoping she would say she'd be ready to go. She'd slow him down a bit, but her potential was worth it. She'd make a good member of his inner circle.
-
A second-in-command sort of spot? That sounded good. For now she was a youth, so it was pretty fair. "Nah, I don't need anything. That sounds like a good plan. " she shrugged, looking in the direction of where home would be, not quite realizing how someone would normally.. miss it.
"Lets go, before they come find me. " It was night, afterall. They probably might not realize she was gone because of her twin; they looked exactly alike with their eyes closed. A groggy parent could make mistakes and not have noticed a pup had wandered off.
-
"Very good, let's get the move out. Welcome to my pack-to-be, Chaka," Kefka said, waiting for her to finish that glance. In that moment, he'd need to see what she'd do, choose to stay or leave. And when she spoke again, Kefka was reassured. He wouldn't have to pup-nap her after all, she'd come out of her own free will. He padded forward into the night with a grin on his face. "In due time, Chaka, nobody will dare to step on you like that stupid piglet."
