1 — Reincarnated With A Purpose

"Is this really how I am gonna die?"

The man, William McHolm, is dying in his death bed, due to lung cancer. It all started with an ache in his chest, then it becomes worse and worse each day. His family were by his side, his mother, his father, his wife and children. They were all crying, knowing that he's gonna die any minute now.

All his life listening to Heavy Metal, staying sober as possible, watching really cheesy Killer Crocodile movies, it is gonna end at this very moment. Of course, he has final words for his loving family.

"All of you here," He began. "I'm glad all of you are in my entire life. So, please, spend it wisely and make sure its worth it."

His wife, Mia Kellen, was in tears for her poor husband is going to die now.

"William, please, take care yourself in the afterlife, okay?" She said.

"I will, honey," He answered. "I will. Take care of the children for me."

"Yes, I will."

"Leia, Luke..." He called his children's name, crying. "Take care of yourselves, Dada's gonna find his home in the afterlife."

"Dad, please don't go." Leia started. "Please... stay."

"I know, but its God's choice." He said. "I'm very sorry."

As he says this, he takes his one final breath.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

As the monitor beeps, signaling that William is dead, they cried more than ever.

For that poor William is now in the afterlife.

(The afterlife...)

"Is this heaven...?" William thought, his eyes still closed.

"Nope!" A mighty and heavenly voice said. "You are in a place of judgement."

"Wha...?"

He opened his eyes, just to see that he is seeing god himself. Or, what he assumed god himself.

"So, you're William McHolm, correct?" The heavenly being questioned him.

"Y-yes...?" He answered.

"Well, William." The heavenly being said. "My name is Filius Mandragore, and I will be your Guiding Spirit in your reincarnation!"

"Wait, hold on," William said. "Reincarnation? For what purpose?"

"Well, let's just say, Nature calls your help." Filius said.

"Nature...?"

"A world where Animals are being hunted by a Royal Family, who kills animals for money and fame." Filius said. "Weird thing is that these animals can morph into anthropomorphic beings."

"...is this some weird furry-slash-scalie fetish fanfiction or some shit?" He blandly said.

"Um, in some ways, yes, but, in some ways, no." Filius said. "And, please, no profanities. Only in your reincarnation."

"Alright," William muttered. "So, what's the reincarnation gonna be?"

"So, your body will be based on a crocodile, a one with very extraordinary abilities." Filius started, taking William's attention. "It can run in a extraordinary speed, a bite that can crush a skull within a minute, it never gets tired, and bloodlust for the corrupted."

...oh. Heck. YES.

This sounds like Hookjaw, except its a Killer Crocodile that can morph into a anthropomorphic being. With some extraordinary powers, too.

(A/N: Hookjaw is a comic that got banned in the 1980s due to how violent it is. Its about a shark that feeds on the corrupted.)

"The royal family, The Xirxene Family, kills animals for money and fame, like I said." Filius stated. "The Xirxene Family has been on war with the beings known as the 'Fauna.' The government tried to stop them, but, the Xirxene Family is so powerful, that they overthrown the government with such power and will in a week."

So, that's what he meant by "Nature calls your help." Nature is being literally getting wiped out, driving to near extinction.

"So, with the help of this Killer Crocodile, Nature will fight back." Filius said. "So, are you ready to take Mother Nature's orders?"

He thought for a moment, and ultimately decided...

"Yes." He answered. "Yes, I will not let her down."

"Great!" Filius said, happily. "I'll be talking in your head when you get reincarnated, so, I can give you instructions."

"Alright."

"Now, close your eyes. The heavenly beings will send you to the realm."

William closed his eyes.

(The reincarnation...)

William feels... heavy. And wet. He opened his eyes, just to see he is in a cave, filled with water.

Looks like I am the Killer Crocodile like Filius stated. William thought.

The cave is really dark, and the only thing that illuminates is the light from the cave.

He begins walking towards the outside of the cave.

As he walking towards it, there were sounds of war.

*BANG!*

*BOOM!*

*BRRTA-BRRTA-BRRTA!*

Alright, looks like we're in a brutal start.

Time to eat some raw, corrupted meat.

The newly-reincarnated Killer Crocodile swam as fast as he could towards the exit.

(The Battlefield Of Neandertha...)

BRRTA-BRRTA-BRRTA!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

BOOM!

"There's way too many of them!" A male Bull Fauna, Rico, said. "I don't think we can handle them much longer!"

"Shit!" A female Deer Fauna cursed under her breath, frustrated. "Just, why are they picking a fight with us?! We didn't do anything to them!"

"Rambi, we are outnumbered!" A male Lizard Fauna, Bob, said with a hint of fear in his voice. "We need to get out of here!"

The female Deer Fauna, Rambi, looked at the front of the Battlefield. They are now too many of the Hunters.

"Fuck..."

"What are we gonna do, now?" Bob asked Rambi.

Rambi sighed, defeated.

"Let us hope that Help arrives..."

Oh, help will arrive, alright?

Suddenly, they heard a faint roar behind from the soldiers.

"...w-what was that?" Bob said.

"Sounds like its coming here... fast!" One of the hunters said.

"Men! Prep the weapons!" The captain said.

They all turned back and prepped their weapons, completely forgettimg that they are Faunas in their backs.

The fast footsteps were getting closer and closer. Until...

SKROOOAAARRR!!!

A gigantic crocodile appears from the tall grasses and begins to chomp and kill the Hunters with ease.

"HOLY SHIT, ITS A CROCODILE!" Bob exclaimed.

"A-aren't they extinct due to the Royal Family's hunt for belts?!" Rico said.

It's true, they have been dead for atleast six years.

While there is one in front of them, and a very large one compared to what they have seen back in the day.

"Men, retreat!" The general exclaimed.

Following the general's orders, the soldiers retreated. The Faüna laughed at this cowardly action.

"Pussies! Ha! And I thought they are powerful enough to handle the power of the Fauna!" Rico said with pride.

"Also, what about the Giant Croc that just helped us?" Bob said to his friends.

They looked around to see that the Giant Crocodile, who is just looking at them, curiously.

"Huh, it seems curious for some weird reason." Rico said.

"Shall we tell Mother Gaia about this?" Bob said.

"We should." Rambi said. "We might have a potential ally."

Rambi walked to the Crocodile, nervous.

A crocodile is normally 4 meters long. But, this? It's around at least 8.9 meters long. That's the longest and largest ever since Lolong existed.

"Alright, I don't know who you are." Rambi started to say. "But, you are coming with us."

The crocodile bellowed, curiously.

"Bob."

"Yes, ma'am?"

"Call Roger, we got something to carry around."
