If the neighbours saw a lion prowling about on the pavement and nudging a tennis ball. They were not showing it. Usually, Foo dogs were made as lion statues mounted at the entrance of the Chinese elite homes, a temple or a palace to show wealth. They were guardian spirits known to bring good luck depending on the colour of their fur. They were not dogs in technicality but lions."Elvis." He made a quick growling noise when he regarded Maks with intelligent brown eyes.Maks nodded in respect then teared up and ran to him when his tongue stuck out. Elvis bounded over him and licked his face.Elvis pushed him upright with his head."You're gonna have to leave." He said with sadness. His head lowered. Elvis made a hollow throaty sound expressing uncertainty. His head tilted and he pushed up into Maks's hands. Maks looked up at him."No, you belong at PASS... that's where I found you."Elvis sat up regally.Maks saw a fur mark on its arm. 'To Maks Anderson. Owner of the Imperial Foo
Ding![ Attack more Huntsmen to win points ] Maks gazed at his system panel in disbelief.Going to fight people who nearly assassinated him again was a big risk to take. "Okay, how am I supposed to find a few creeps who want me dead?" He exhaled practicing his breathing techniques. Who was he kidding? Maks wore a black hoodie, white shirt, black pants, black sneakers and his skateboard was strapped to his back. "Here goes nothing."Melvin sat at the couch tweaking at an old camera he used once and then he glanced at Maks heading for the door grinning."Son, where are you going?""I'm just going skateboarding with my friends. Dad." He recited. He smeared his dad's old grease paint across his face cleverly shielding his contours."Didn't know your firends were the sporty type." Doreen said raising an eyebrow.They were more adherent than he thought."I got it, "mom". Thank you. It's for a stunt." He said."A stunt...""Have fun." Melvin said and Doreen gaped at him s
Maks's head lowered, his eyes flashed open[ Do you wish to exploit your points? ]He reached up with a quivering finger. [ Yes ]Ding!He bolted off before she could step outside."Hey! Probably one of those crackheads again." She took a dubious look at the runner in black.*** Maks reached home poor and sickly. The task instead made him feel exhausted.He treated himself to a glass of green goop_dad's recipe when he had jetlag or ship lag whichever it was. That would help his fever come down.Wu would probably assume that he had some inner issues. All he knew was his stomach felt as unstable as the sea. Regardless of its sour taste, he downed everything.HOOPBURP* He admired the animal of choice today.The toxin from his stinger could cause pains as intense as stepping on a bed of hot coal with a three-inch nail deep inside the sole of the victim's feet.This quests held promise."Stats." He called groggily in the comfort of his bedroom.Name: M.A.K.S AndersonAg
"Remind me again why he's so special?" She said hoarsely on the phone. One of the hellhounds growled. She was uneasy about following the dogs that brought death. She shuddered...the voice on the other line came into focus."...you understand. He's awakened, he is dangerous..."She glanced at the dogs. "Mmm hmm?" They sensed he was here but she didn't see anybody, the park beyond the arch gate was empty. Cars roved by the streets. She wished she could crack a code. Instead, she was roaming around the streets like a drifter. The hellhounds were hopeless when it came to control. One lumbered forward across the street and the second followed. She had a weapon in her pocket just in case...She clung to its side as it raced to a park where people gave way.Maks was watching Chen demonstrate a few punches on the pad he held. He rolled his eyes when he stood back and did a roundhouse kick on the pad standing back in horse stance form."That was awesome.""There's a first
"What are you going to do to me?""I'm going to take away your power. Better yet...wipe you and other awakeners off the surface of the earth." He quoted and typed on his keyboard.A curtain opened and Chen looked around the tube disoriented. He noticed other awakeners too were in here. Tortured and captured by hellhounds. Maks clutched at his chest asphyxiated and Donnie smiled.He sing-songed going through his computer."You're messing with the wrong guy. I'm_I'm a top tier awakener. Trust me, this is just the beginning." He said.... Hailey was afraid that if she stayed longer. She would look back, she hurried to a limo that the men arranged for her. She looked at the building."Off to summer school." One said."Finally." She muttered to herself grinning evilly.***Maks gazed at the huntsmen standing at their posts by big metal doors. "So,bwhat? You're jacked with that many resources? And hellhounds? Who did you sign a contract with?_" He gasped."Quiet."PYUM...He win
The driver gazed at him in dismay despite the fact that the vehicle was still running at high speed. "What?""Do as I say!" He retorted. Maks came in front of them and raised his sword arm in floating above the asphalt and daring them to cross him. His eyes narrowed. Donnie stepped outside onto the body of the car and raised a pivot gun shooting at him. It shot twenty three rounds rhythmically. Maks maneuvered them. He couldn't say for the civilians... Maks gritted his teeth as the car forged ahead of him while he recovered then he flew at the SUV tearing a line across the side. He clung on to the side and stabbed the driver in the ribs. The car swerved into a thrift shop exploding in flames. Donnie fell over to the other side. Maks glanced at him. Donnie climbed on to another car and slipped in. Taking the wheels.ROOAR!He had the larynx of the lion. Donnie rode on and he glided over the cars.He absorbed energy from animals around leaving stream of dark energy following hi
The Chinese company was allegedly indebted to Ponzi schemes, ghost worker payroll, illegal transactions and blood money circulation. The owner was revealed to be Mister Donnie Yun, a business mogul. The building was also destroyed. Maks frowned at a censored image of Donnie slumped against the wall of the building. He noticed that the demon dogs were just as invisible as Elvis on a regular basis. So it looked like the awakeners were agitated for one reason or another......The house was quiet***Maks was in his room sound asleep, and Elvis was strolling around the house in the night scouting for any more anomalies. It had been days or months since he brawled devil dogs. His eyes flashed into the night and he growled.**** At the onset of dawn, Maks woke up with muscle aches, and headaches, he practised his forms and did all sorts of stretching to take away the tension. His blood pressure kept rising and falling. He suffered unrest for more days than he could count. He wore a black
He swatted the demon dog on the face hard as possible. The air intensified at that punch and it rolled away on the grass. Laying still.Giving the pony time to escape. The dog was violent and it rolled over growling. Maks screamed jumping backwards when it lunged and snapped its teeth at him. He leapt behind the dog Yao Gai and grabbed its tail hurling it out of the beams. It crashed against the oak wood fence and it found it difficult to stand up. The alligator Yao Gai slithered after the people. His eyes flashed into an eagle's and he looked with 100/100 vision at a bird's eye view over the fields for any long-range weapons. He snorted when he found javelins in a barrel by a barn. Swooping after them. Maks grabbed them but he crashed against the wall of the barn.The bear Yao Gai roared and whacked him against the wall again with its powerful fist. The wall broke down and the iron javelins clattered on top of him. Maks looked up pained. The ferocious dark purplish bear rai
