Chapter 1: It's Good to be Back

*crunch* *crack* *crack*

*groan*. "gah! it doesn't get any easier" said a naked figure that is seen kneeling somewhere in the woods.

The full moon could be seen in the sky, giving off its marvelous splendor as the chilly winds graced the night. Certain sounds and squeaks could be heard from the frightened residents of the forest as the ingrained fear of a predator was felt from the figure.

The figure gazed up at the moon for a while before letting out a sigh and slowly using the tree beside him as a support to get up.

The figure slowly stood up as he walked into the glow of the moon, with fluids slowly dripping off him. As the figure is slowly bathed in the moonlight, he is seen covered in blood and certain pieces of meat, behind him is the decapitated body of an animal that closely resembled a deer lying in a pool of blood. The animal's body was completely ripped apart and its organs torn to shreds.

The figure gazed into the distance with its glowing yellow eyes, seemingly spotting something even though there was nothing in the immediate vicinity.

"Better get going then, I don't want to deal with those troublesome bunch" He mumbled. "I'll be leaving tomorrow anyway, school's about to start".

He momentarily cast a glance at the mutilated deer before he gazed back into the distance, his glowing yellow eyes giving off a strange glint. Taking one last glance at the full moon, he walked into the shadows before transforming into a large beast and running off in a random direction.

Nearly half an hour later, a group of people could be seen near the spot. They were dressed in thick black leather armor with the torso, shoulder, and forearm areas further reinforced with silver metal plating, their heads were covered with futuristic armored helmets with the facial section of their faces covered with think tinted glass. Some were armed with guns, crossbows but they all had swords strapped to their waists except a large man in the middle who carried a large machete and also happened to be a leader of the squad. They slowly approached the area, their thick leather boots digging into the soil.

" Sir! There's a large pool of blood here and some chunks of meat" A scout reported.

" Be alert and stay in formation! It could still be around" The large man yelled as he tightened his grip on the machete and moved towards the mutilated deer. He dipped his fingers into the pool of blood and slowly caressed his fingers.

" The blood's still relatively fresh, probably nearly an hour". The man said.

" It's definitely one of those dogs" His second in command said as he approached the body while pressing the side of his helmet which shifted the glass to reveal his face. "Could it be the same ones that took out the D1- Squad Sir?".

" Likely but I doubt it, this is the work of an omega, the D1-Squad was assaulted by a pack according to their last transmission" The leader said as he gazed in a certain direction, coincidentally the same one the lone beast ran off to.

"Should we give chase sir?" The Co-Captain asked, his eyes in the direction he noticed the leader gazing at.

" Hmmm leave it be, there are multiple squads that need backup at the moment we can't spare the manpower to chase a rogue beast" The leader said as he slowly stood up.

" Alright Let's move out, the other D-rank squads aren't that far from here" The Co-Captain hollered.

The leader slowly tore his gaze off the shadowy path and rejoined the squad, a silver tag gleamed off his right shoulder displaying a large 'C' showing him off as the leader of a C-rank squad, precisely a C1-Squad.

*****A few days later*****

** Nevada High**

Nevada High was teeming with numerous teenagers eager and excited to reunite after the holidays and the curfew. The entire school was drowned in various noises and shouts from all directions, with different students showing off their skateboarding skills, jocks hanging out by their cool cars, the nerds discussing the latest anime and, the center of attraction, the different squads of beautiful chicks.

A deep rumble slowly sounded from the distance and got louder as a black shiny motorbike came into view and pulled up in the parking lot. Alighting from the bike was a slightly taller than average teenager sporting an undercut, donning a leather black jacket on a white shirt with black jeans, a black-white combo shoes, a silver-black watch, a silver chain, and a dark-red ring with an imprint of the head of a wolf on his right ring finger.

He slowly took off his shades and took a deep breath. " It's good to be back". He said with a slight smile on his face.

He slung his backpack onto his shoulder as he slowly walked towards the school entrance as nearly the entire school gawked at the handsome figure of Daniel Wayne!.
