It looked just like a dog. A normal dog. Someone's pet, maybe. But it wasn't, Jerry knew it wasn't, it was one of those monsters, one of the things that had plagued him his whole life, preyed upon him and the others, terrorized them so they could live, so they could destroy everything.

Not any more. He wouldn't be swayed by that innocent look. Those so-called kind words.

Killzone was dead. Francis was gone and this creature's friends were the ones to strike the killing blows. The strongest of them all had fallen. His rock through his turbulent times and Jerry's head was swimming, flying elsewhere as his weapon raised once more....

This time, it was not a warning shot that burst forth from the man's cannon. Green light and the explosion of bark erupted nearly point blank at the hound, not a glimmer of mercy on the man's face.

Every time he wanted to help, they declined. Every oath of protection, every kind word, spurned because he was nothing to them. Less than nothing. Some terrible creature not worth existing.

But pain and loss were universal feelings, and seeing that in their eyes...he couldn't ignore it. He had to do something. It just happened that the particular something he'd chosen to do was obviously not the best option.

"I don't want to hurt you! Why do you guys always want me to hurt you? Is it...is it easier that way?" He understood the importance that came with a feeling of duty, with a sense of purpose. But he didn't strictly adhere to rules, even his own, so...why did they?

He flinched away from the attack, looking back to him with that same sad, pitying look.

"D-don't want to hurt us??" Jerry's scream was outraged as his cannon burst forth again, sending him staggering back a few steps. The ringing of phantom-pain in his leg only seemed to enrage him further, his eyes wild behind his mop of sweat-soaked hair and askew glasses. A trembling hand pushed them up his nose again in a quick motion before his finger returned to the trigger. "What are you MADE OF? What do you EXIST FOR?" He roared. "Our misery and you're surprised we want to stop you?"

"Not made of your misery. Of your fear," he shakily corrected. "We're afraid of things too. And...and sometimes even the things we're most afraid of really do happen."

He tried his best to shake the attack off, but it was disheartening to be struck again and again. Every inch of his body was sore with the reflexive need to lash out, to attack in return. His paws dug at the ground as he pressed onward through the pain.

"It doesn't get any easier. It never stops hurting." Breaks and pauses between his words were filled with little whines, some strange, doglike crying. "But neither of us have to make it hurt any worse if we don't have to."

"I have probably-obably-obably created half your population. Being afraid HURTS and I woo-won't be tortured... Won't..." Jerry's hand was shaking even worse as the stumbled over his words, blinking a few times before his face contorted.

His legs gave out, and the third shot never came. His shoulders were shaking.

Killzone was dead and it wasn't this... child's fault.

"I'm a sun," He murmured weakly, slumping until his forehead rested against his weapon and softly began to sing to himself,

"There are demons in the shadows
Who creep and kill and fright-
We'll bring those monsters to the gallows
but they will put up a big fight....!

The state of the Hunter might have been a laugable weakness to some of his classmates, but Thackery knew what this feeling was like. This was what he'd been running from with four paws and a fluffy exterior, since that moment when he'd been too late. This was everything he tried to avoid over the past two months.

Cautiously, he stepped towards him, craning to lean towards his face.

"You're strong. You can make sure everyone important to you is okay without help from a stranger," he assured him, lapping once at his cheek.

He broke into a stumbling run before a chance for another attack arose.

Thackery was smart to run. It took a few moments for the lick to register on his burn-scarred cheek before he snapped upright, a hand lashing out to shove away what was already gone.

How dare he. How dare that little creature try to fool him, try to convince him he was cute and harmless. He was a child. The moment the pup grew up into a big-bad-wolf...

Maybe he really was unhappy with the state of the War. Then the big-bad-wolf would be on their side in the hands of some faceless Hunter.

Stiffly, he swayed to his feet, hefting Roar up onto his shoulder as he drifted his way back into the fray.

Killzone would be avenged. But he wouldn't dishonor his memory by losing his mind in the midst of battle.

Deep breaths.

"WATCHOUT! Here we come!
WATCHOUT! Here comes the Sun! "
