[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Hello Mortals, sorry this took so long, but the Weird Little Knights has had some problem's, namely too many ideas and not enough time, plus I got writers block, but here it is at last also some facts: 1) The W.L.K. are from England, so its British spelling and speech, 2) Each chapter is spell checked and proof read three times. 3) This is are first attempt at writing fiction so give us a break. Just count yourselves lucky Giga-Shadow didn't write this.Now this is a work of fiction so it’s either made up or has bits borrowed from cartoons, TV series, comics and films. Also this is a non-profit thing so if something has been taken it’s not for personal gain so please don't sue, because there isn't much you could get out of us. If you don't like it, well quiet frankly I couldn’t give a rats arsehole. Also this contains scenes of extreme violence and gore (yeah), strong language (the only way to speak) and material of a sexual nature (but still no sex). You have to be 17 or over to read this (but we can't stop you).Ultara-GuyverStory By Ultara-Guyver, Giga-Shadow, Aquila and Acid BloodWritten By Ultara-Guyver

Chapter 5: Tale of Two Claws
After returning home John called Michael and Ed and told them to meet him at his place the next morning. From there they spent the rest of the morning researching the information they got from Jean-Luke, however they haven't got very far.
"This Symbol isn't much help." Said Ed as he looked at the letter which had arcane symbols on it.
"And according to these books, the place Jean-Luke mentioned doesn't exist. How about you Mike?" Asked John
"Nothing on the net so far. However I do keep coming across something called 'The Vault' but in doesn't specify what that is."
Ed looked up at hearing that. "The Vault?"
"You heard of it?" Asked John.
"I think so, The Vault is meant to be some ancient place for keeping powerful, mystical items safe."
"What kind of items?"
"The kind of items not meant for anyone."
They continued looking for another half hour, John and Ed browsing through old books and Michael clicking and typing on the computer. John put down his book and faced Ed.
"This isn't getting us any where."
"Aye its not."
"Well I've got some satellite photos of the area you mentioned." Michael said as he turned from the screen. He clicked something and images appeared on the screen. The were of a birds eye view of a large building that was mostly submerged underground surrounded by a camp in the middle of a large forest. John looked at the screen then at Michael.
"How did you get those?" Asked John
"I tapped into one of your satellites and got the images from their database."
"You mean you hacked into one."
"Well...yeah."
John looked at the screen again and smirked.
"Good work, remind me to hire you in the future."
"How exactly does this help us." Ed asked.
John pointed to the markings on the roof of the building.
"Because I've seen symbols like that before and I know someone who can tell me what it means."
They left the flat and headed to the car and started driving further into the city. It was only after fifteen minutes that Ed realized something.
"Why do I have to come?" He asked.
"So that you can tell me if the guys bull-shitting me or not." Came John's reply.
They pulled up outside an old building and step out of the car. The building looked like an old flat that should of been condemned years ago but showed signs of resent activity.
"Your guy lives here?" Asked Michael.
"Yeah, he likes the peace and quiet."
They entered the building and were hit with the smell of rubbish and old wood, among other things. They continued down the hallway, John looking straight ahead while Michael and Ed look through the doorways they passed seeing old mattresses and boxes littered about the rooms. They went up eight floors and stopped in front of a door. The door was new compared to everything else in the building and had four locks on it. John knock on the door but got no reply. He sniff the air around the door and knock again.
"I know your in there I can smell you. Its me John." After still not getting a reply he knocked harder on the door making it creak. "I don't have time for this."
He whacked the again, making the frame break apart and forcing the door open. They walked in, and went through to the living and found it full of books and parchment, but was otherwise empty.
"Impressive collection." Remarked Ed.
They went around the room looking around but found nobody. Then John heard a faint clicking in the next room and opened the door to see a man with a two-way radio in his hands.
"NOW!"
Suddenly the wall next to John erupted and a man tried the punch John but he blocked it, punched him in the gut then uppercut him back through the hole. He ran into the living room to see Michael fighting another man and Ed being back into a corner. He went to go help Ed but heard more men coming down the hallway and ran to them instead. He meet them just past the doorway and ducked under a punch, spun and sweeper kicked the attackers legs from under him. John stood up and went for his gun but felt a sharp pain in the middle of his back which spread through out his body.
"Stun Sticks."
He was just about the spin round and knock the man out when two more appeared and started to shock him, not stopping until he was on the floor. Michael looked over and saw John on the floor being shocked by some kind of tazzer sticks then look over at Ed to tell him but stopped when he saw him raise his hand toward the man walking to him then muttered something Michael couldn't hear. There was a burst of light followed by the sound of glass smashing and when Michael looked again, Ed's pursuer was on the fall but he was gone and the window he was in front of was smashed. Michael was going to go see if he was alright but was punched in the chest and sent flying through the wall behind him, knocking him unconscious.Ed hung from the ledge of the window he was blasted through looking extremely annoyed.
That is the last time I use that spell
He was about to climb back in but stopped when he heard his attackers talking.
"Okay, we got Klawvious, we better take that kid with us as well and it looks like the old man did him self in, we've got to hurry back to Charlie before they wake up."
Ed let go of the edge and floated down to ground and got back into Johns car.
"I have to get help." He got his phone out and dialed Ajax's number.
John awoke in a dark room with no lights or windows but he could still see perfectly. He checked the time and saw that he had been out for just over an hour, then checked his pocket for his mobile, but couldn't find it or his guns. He got up and went to the door, which was a three inch thick steel door you find in warehouses, and considered trying to break it open, but knew he wasn't strong enough in his current form. Then he thought about using Telekinesis on it, but without knowing what's holding it shut on the other side there wasn't much he could do. He then remembered that Michael and Ed were with him when he was captured, but not with him now and he hoped that they got away but he thought he better check. He closed his eyes, opened his mind and concentrated on his surroundings. He felt a single strange immortal essence and knew it was Michael, and a strong Lycan essence, but he couldn't sense Ed. He heard someone coming to his door and awoke from his trance and hid above the door. Two of his captures walked in and when they were under him, he dropped down and hammer punched one in the head, knocking him out while making the other one back away. When John landed he threw his hand up toward the other man, using his telekinesis to throw him across the room, also knocking him unconscious. John left the room and started to look for Michael.Michael regained conscious in a room similar to John's, only with a normal door, and wondered what he was doing here, then he remembered the fight and how he got knocked out. He got up and checked his phone but couldn't find it and figure that whoever captured him must have taken it. He put his ear to the door and heard two people talking and wondered how he was going to get out of here. He was thinking of breaking the door down but it looked pretty tough and the guys guarding him were probably as strong as the guys that knocked him out...and through a wall. That’s when he remembered his power, the ability to turn his skin indestructible and rock like which also increases his strength. He concentrated and activated his power, then knocked the door off its hinges and surprised the guards. They rushed him but Michael sent one flying with a single blow while the other punched him in the gut. He didn't even feel it and watched as the man grabbed his hand in pain, then punched him in the chest, sending him across the room. Michael returned to normal and ran down the hallway trying to find a way out but as he turned a corner he stopped. There were bodies with various cuts and stab wounds on the floor and standing above them was a man wearing old samurai armour. He walked over the bodies and toward Michael.
"Let me see your skill."
He drew his sword and got into an attack position, while Michael summoned his sword into is hand, and rushed forward, bringing his sword across in a deadly arch. Michael barely blocked it in time, but the force of the attack made him go back a few steps. The samurai didn't stop, continually attacking and wounding Michael, who was only just able to defend himself. Michael dodged another attack and seeing an opening, thrust his sword forward into the samurai's back. The samurai however evaded the attack, spun around and separated Michael from the lower half of his arm. Michael grab at what was left of his arm and screamed in pain, then went rock form and tried to punch the samurai with his remaining arm, but the samurai was too fast and easily side stepped the blow. Michael kept punching but the samurai was far to fast, then when Michael tried to swipe him into the wall, the samurai ducked under his arm and thrust his palm into Michael's stomach with enough force to send him flying backwards. He changed back to normal and faced his attacker.
"What do you want?" Michael asked.
"To test you." He then kick Michael's hand over to him. "You'll need this."
Michael reached over and grabbed his arm, but when he looked up the samurai was gone. He placed his arm up to his stump and watched as the flesh fused together and the wound healed itself. He flexed his hand to see if it was alright then got back up and started the walk down the hall again. He saw John come around the corner ahead.
"Whoa, what the hell happened here, did you do all this?" He asked
"No this weird guy dressed in some old samurai armour did it."
"Never mind that this way." They ran down the corridor and in to a large room. John stopped and looked around. "He's here."
"Who?"
"CHARLIE, COME OUT HERE NOW!!" He shouted,
"I thought you would take longer." Came a voice from behind.
They turned around and saw an man with short spiky brown hair standing on a walkway above the first floor.
"I'd ask you what want but I've got a pretty good idea."
"Good, because it took me a while to find you after you ruined me, no-one wanted to hire me after my defeat."
"Cry me a river, you know you're not the only guy I've beaten."
"Yeah, but I'm one of the few you let live."
"Killing you wouldn't have accomplished anything, and besides I ode it to your brother to let you live."
"Yeah well I'm going to show you that you should have killed me when you had the chance."
"Your right I should have, but if you want the chance for revenge leave the kid out of this."
"Fine I want you anyway."
Charlie leaped at John, who pushed Michael back then back flipped out off the way. Charlie charged forward and the two began to fight, with Charlie using his rage and brute strength and John more level headed and using his skills. For all the attacks Charlie did he wasn't making any progress as John was able to dodge or block all of his attacks while was able to attack him each time Charlie’s guard was down. Each time Charlie attacked, John block then attacked with two of his own moves. Eventually John did a round-house kick that force Charlie to back away.
"This is useless Chuck, you still can't beat me."
"Try this for useless."
He started to change. He began to get bigger as muscles and bones grew and reshaped themselves. His hands turned into claws and fur began to grow along his arms. His face elongated and deformed into a snout and his ears became pointed and grew until they were on top off his head. When his transformation was complete he looked up at John and roared. He stood at about seven feet tall, Michael looked on in horror at it, reminded of the things he faced in that alley weeks ago, but they were mere pups compare to this.
"That won't make a difference."
John took off his coat and began his own transformation, which was almost the same as Charlie's, except Johns ears were larger and more pointed, and his snout was shorter and wider. Near the end two large black spikes burst from his back through two holes in his body armour and opened to become large bat wings. He was black and Grey and stood straighter then Charlie. John opened his snout and spoke in a deep gravely voice.
"I'm waiting."
Charlie charged forward again but John grabbed him and flipped him onto the ground and began slashing with his claws. Michael started to go around the edges of the room, heading towards a large door, making sure to stay away from the fight. He remembered what John said what would happen if he got bitten by a Lycan and did not want to risk getting turned back to normal right now. Charlie finally kicked John away from him and got back up, but was too late to dodge the uppercut and was knocked back down to the floor. He got into a crouching position and leaped at John but he jumped and started to use his wings to fly around the room. Michael got to the door but before he reached the handle it was thrown off its hinges and Ajax ducked through with a large revolver, followed by Ed and Anna.
"What the fuck is goin' on here?" Asked Ajax
Ed walked over to Michael.
"Are you alright lad."
"I'm fine its them I'm worried about."
They look on as John landed on Charlie’s back.
"I think they can handle this on there own." Said Anna
John grabbed Charlie’s head and twisted, breaking his neck. He instantly fell to the floor but John flipped him over onto his back and drove his claw into his chest, then pulled out his heart. He drop the organ and began to walk away turn back into his human form as was Charlie. He looked up at Michael, who could only stare back, speechless.
"That is best way to kill a lycan if your wondering."
"I see."
"Soo, now what?" Asked Anna
"First, I'm going to go find our weapons, then I'm going to hunt down that traitorous little shit that sold us out, get my information, then feed him to his so-called allies." Replied John.After finding his sword and guns he went and paid an visit to and old, run down flat, hold a pair off stun sticks.
