After beating the latest foe, a big golden Rhino, who was nursing his wounds on the side, Woolie looked around him at his entourage and felt happy.
It had grown from merely Wolves and Apes to well over 20+ species and housing well over 1000 Terra Beasts.
He looked at his familiar one-eyed wolf, his first follower and asked him casually.
"Woolie Woo?" Who is the next one? The Emperor doesn't have much time left.
It still had to go back home and drink its milk. Though he left the last part unsaid.
Hearing his question, all the leaders of the various tribes fell silent. They all looked at each other, unsure if they should keep speaking. Reluctant at first, they liked this new Emperor of theirs.
The first reason was that he was too strong. They weren't sure if they could beat him even if they fought him together.
The second and most important reason, though, was that he was too cute!!
They weren't sure if this cute and fierce little one could take care of them, as they all had banded together once before to challenge them, and still lost. They didn't want this cute little one to get hurt.
Seeing none of them saying anything, Woolie started to feel impatient.
"Woolie!!" Don't make me angry!! I am very fierce when I am angry!!
(ლ╹◡╹)ლ
It started to feel hungry. Fighting for so long and so many beasts left it feeling tired. But it refused to go back before fulfilling his dream.
Seeing none of them saying anything, violet lightning started flashing on Woolie's body.
Seeing this, all the beasts trembled unconsciously. In the end, their fear won over their worry as the wolf took a step forward before speaking.
"Howl!!" My Lord, you bested everyone else here on the plane. There is only one tribe left. After you beat them, you will end up becoming the Emperor!!
Hearing this, Woolie's eyes lit up.
"Woolie!~" That's great!! Hurry up and lead me there.
Soon, under the escort of thousands of beasts, Woolie finally reached their final destination.
In front of them was a massive tribe of Golden Bisons, who were lying there by the side of the pond.
Their skin had a metallic texture to it, as it glittered under the sunlight. All of them had massive bodies, spanning over 3 meters in length and looked bulky.
The standout of course was their leader, sitting in the centre. With his body size that was double that of the rest of the tribe, over 6 meters long, it looked like a glittering mountain of gold under the sunlight.
Seeing him, all the leaders of various tribes faltered in their steps, feeling fearful. They were very afraid of him, as he alone had beaten them all too many times, and even occupied almost 30% of the zone alone.
But seeing their new Emperor fearlessly walking forward to challenge him, they felt ashamed for a second before gritting their teeth and following him.
Hearing the commotion, The Golden Bison King opened his eyes lazily before looking at the beasts gathered in front of him.
"Grrrrrowl!!" You cowards, you all came here together to get beaten up again? Fine! This Emperor will entertain you thoroughly and make sure you wouldn't have such thoughts again.
It stood up from the ground, shaking it with each step. Behind him, all the other golden Bisons gathered together, forming a single line, looking fearless. They believed that as long as their leader was here, they were invincible.
Woolie walked up to the Bison King, craning his neck to take a look up at it, but failing miserably. Feeling Irritated, he quickly jumped on the back of the Rhino he just defeated, increasing his height.
Satisfied with his new position, he started speaking.
"Woolie!~" Are you their leader? I will give you two options. Give up and recognise me as your Emperor, or I will beat you up. Let me warn you, I am very fierce!!
( •̀ ω •́ ) y
The Bison King felt amused looking at the cute little sheep.
"Growl~" And who are you supposed to be, little one?
"Woolie!~" Me? I am their new Emperor!! Am I right, everyone?!
"ROAR!!!"
Thousands of beasts roared simultaneously at his words, shaking the whole world.
Hearing the cheer, Woolie felt even more confident as he looked towards the last one with a face full of satisfaction, clearly unable to hide his happiness.
The Bison, on the other hand, grew more serious. Those cheers weren't fake. The support behind him was real.
"Roar!!"
"Grrrr!!" Alright, if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you will get. Come, little Emperor!!
The Golden Bison King took a step forward, making a deep crack in the ground.
Woolie too jumped off the Rhino's back to face him directly, stomping his feet in the ground fiercely, trying to create a similar crack on the ground, but without any luck.
Unfazed by the failure, he quickly got into the position, spreading his legs apart and bracing himself, before rushing directly to attack the Bison head-on with the signature 'Quick Attack.'
The King, seeing his attacker rush towards him, didn't even bother dodging, instead meeting the attack head-on, butting heads.
CLANG!!
A metallic sound echoed throughout the plains, as for the first time, Woolie's attack failed completely, and he was thrown back in the distance.
The Bison King stood strong at the centre, his body glittering like gemstones.
"Grrrr!" Give it up, little sheep, I have an unbreakable defence. You can't ever break it up!!
As for Woolie, he naturally ignored his words. He was feeling excited instead. All the fights he had been to until now ended with two or three moves.
This was the first time he was feeling a genuine challenge or threat from someone. And he felt thrilled, his blood boiling with excitement.
"Wool!~" How fun!! I will beat you today!! I am very fierce, you know!!
Lightning surrounded Woolie once more, as he unleashed a bolt of 'Thunder Shock' directly at Golden Bison King.
The big yak didn't bother dodging, as he was fully confident in his body defences. But when the attack finally landed, the Bison felt something he hadn't felt for a while, pain. It was pure, unrelenting pain that caused him to roar in pain loudly.
Seeing his new attack was effective, Woolie's eyes lit up as he started preparing his next attack, an even bigger 'Thunder Shock.'
But the Bison wasn't willing to take any chances. With a roar, it arched back in the air before bringing down its front hooves on the ground, launching a wave of ground stone spikes that travelled quickly, destroying everything in its path.
Woolie was forced to abandon the charging attack as it jumped away, before sharp, jetted rocks came bursting from the ground, not letting him continue his attacks.
Both of them started throwing attacks at each other from a distance, neither able to land a hit, destroying the whole ground in the process.
By now, Woolie was feeling tired. Ever since it had got here, it had fought one enemy after another, not even resting for a moment, that too on an empty stomach and only being a week old.
Right now, it wanted to end the first as fast as possible. So he started thinking of all the moves it knew and which one felt the strongest.
That's when he recalled the final move against his first fight here. That thunder tackle.
With the idea set in his mind, he quickly got to work.
Using Quick Attack, he started running around the Bison in circles, gaining speed. Soon, the lightning burst from his body, directly into the sky, creating thunder clouds.
Meanwhile, Bison didn't know what that new Emperor was doing, but it felt dangerous, so it unleashed its ultimate attack, as 10s of meters of rocks started expanding around him, devouring everything.
But Woolie didn't stop; he started speeding even faster.
"Woolie!!" Faster!! I got to go faster!! Cover my body in lightning, more, cover it even more!!
All the Beasts watching this confrontation felt worried. They knew this was probably their only chance at beating the Bison King. And if the new Emperor gets beaten, they will end up losing all hope.
They watched as Woolie got faster and faster, and the stones grew bigger and bigger, before the inevitable happened.
Boom!!!
Everyone watched with bated breath, hoping for a miracle. And Woolie didn't disappoint.
"ROARR!!!!"
With a roar that sounded like it came straight out of the Primal Era, Woolie burst out of the rubble, looking like a Thunder God.
Ignoring the injuries on his body, he went straight for his opponent, destroying everything on the way.
The Bison King also roared, before butting his head with him, creating a shockwave that blew everything away!!!
And that was precisely the moment Raiden chose to arrive.
