Birth of Rabid
In ages past, in a universe long forgotten by the few who even knew it was there in the first place... humanity had risen in pretty much the same way it did as we know it.. Atleast on the surface.
However.. Super natural horrors stalked the night.. mankid lived in fear of more than just zoanoid.. but of things much worse. Things that shared some of a zoanoid's powers.. but impossable to be controlled. Vampires, Werewolves, demons from the very pits of hell. Were these also by-products of creator manipulation? Were they supernatural as many had claimed? A mixture of both?
The answer to these questions will never be spoken.. one being from this universe yet remains.. a being who's hunger puts the very lychanlord legions to shame with it's intensity.. it's lust for consumption, for destruction.. for death.
This being.. is known as Rabid.
Rabid began life as a simple manbeast.. a mutant cousin to the human species.. standing 8 feet tall and covered in thick fur, these manbeasts were more like true apes than humanity.. but in behavior.. they were more like wolves. Every member of the tribe had a duty, and they all coopperated to bring down difficult prey. The strongest and smartest of these manbeasts were undoubtable the pack alphas..
Rabid.. was no alpha..
Rabid, before his change.. was slow.. even dimwitted. Content to just laze about in the sun, lazily picking berries from nearby trees. At this point, he had no name.. the pack didn't need names, as they went by scent. One day, while off by himself, the manbeast who would later become rabid encountered two humans wearing white coats. Confused by these two.. they didn't smell human.. but they didnt' smell like a wolve or a vampire either.. and they weren't demons.. Not the ussuall kind anyway.
The two humans were chronos researchers, aqquireing supernatural test subjects to see if they could be controlled if processed into zoanoids. Rabid approached too closely out of curiosity, and the two men noticed him. One of them raised a long metal rod and pointed it his way. Rabid heard a loud crack.. and there was suddenly a pain in his shoulder. Looking down, he found a metal dart peircing his skin. He had just enough time to pluck it out and stare at it, never having seen anything like it in his life, before he fell victem to the powerfull tranqulisers within.
Hours later, Rabid awoke, tied to an examination table. The first thing that rabid discovered was that it couldn't see.. the scientists who captured him didn't realise that the tranquliser would have a toxic effect on the poor creature.. blinding him perminately.. Rabid howled in a mixture of rage and fear.. but since he didn't speak the language of the scientists, they didn't know what exactly troubled the beast.
Rabid could smell three people in the room, two of them were the scientists who captured him, the third.. was new.. the scent powerfull, rabid was instantly wary of this figure, every instinct told him that the third person could easily destroy him.. Suddenly the men began to talk.. Rabid didn't understand it.. but the situation went something like this.
"He's awake"
"Yes, so he is.. I suppose he will have to do, since you didn't get a proper vampire for study.. luckily, I have managed to synthisise the viral patterns that make humans into vampires.. if my theory is correct, this pattern would turn a normal man into something that could destroy even a hyper zoanoid.. this pitifull beast is close enough to a man that it should work on him in similer fasions.. or it could just kill him." The third mad said.
"Doctor Yamamoto.. if your right, he'ld very easily be able to break those bonds and kill us all" Scientists two said nerviously as the third person stepped forward and injected something into rabid's arm.
"That's exactly why I'm doing this" The third figure chuckled darkly.
"Traitor" the other two scientists gasped in astonishment, then began to transform, thier scents changing dramatically. The third figure just looked at them, his eyes glowing for a moment before the two were flung against the far wall, scattering test tubes and beakers in the process, reverting back to humanoid forms.
"You'll get your turn soon enough.. but for now, I have work to do" Yamamoto pulled something out of his labcoat. Rabid couldn't tell what it was.. he had never smelled it before in his life, even if he did know what it was, the pain shooting through his body as his dna was rewritten from the vampire virus was driving him wild in pain.
"You will be my Rabid hound, let loose upon this world to destroy chronos and the supernaturals alike.. no one will be able to stop you, not even myself" Yamamoto held the relic in his hands.. the casing was worn and beaten, but the organism underneith seemed to be secure.. and there was no obvious damage to the control medalion.. Yamamoto gave a slow, purposefull laugh as he placed the unit over rabid's head.. the unit instinctually activating, tendrils pushing free of the casing to attack rabid's body.
Rabid howled as this new something surrounded him, making it hard to breath.. Something tearing him apart from the inside.. something forcing it's way inside from the out.. even if rabid had the ability to describe the pain, the sheer level of torture he felt was beyond even masters of the art.. ever fibre of his being was on fire as the guyver fought the vampire virus for supremacy. After a struggle that felt like hours, but lasted mearly a minute and a half, the two came to a compromise.. sharing the host.. becoming one being.
What little mind Rabid could be said to have at this point snapped...
Yamamoto stood there, watching the entire spectical. Rabid had snapped free of the restraints within seconds, but due to being wracked with the ungodly pain, couldn't lash out at anything. The tendrils began to band togeather and form plates.. Rabid's jaw began to streach out, breaking loose from it's traditional moreing and falling forward, taking his ribcage with it, yet his organs were held in place.. infact they were regressing, taking up less and less place in rabid's chest. The Ribcage began to spread out, becoming teeth for his new enhanced jaw, and his tongue began to lengthen to grotesque degrees.
His head shrunk backwards slightly as the neck began to fuse, and ichor began to drool down it's face as it's useless eyes were ejected onto the floor, hissing as they bubbled away into nothing. Something locked itself to his forhead, and mercifully, rabid finally fell into unconsiousness as thin wires shot into his skull and into his brain.
His changed didn't end there.. his body continues to twist.. limbs lenghtening, terrible blades, humming quietly with vibrational power yet to be utilised, erupted from each knuckle, ready to tear and rend anything that got within grasp. His legs kicked and spasmed against the floor, changing in structure from an ape's hind legs into a canine's.. with terrible feet more resembling a dinosaur's.. built for gouging and tearing as well.
Rabid's tail, formerly a stubby thing,, began to extend as the spine lengthened in a great bloody explosion , spreading gore further over the floor, only to be regenerated back into the body moments later.. Muscle soon followed the tail, knitting and re-kniftting into a longer, thicker tail.. no skin formed over this new limb as organism tissue followed suit, then the thick armored plates.. and a long terrible blade on the tip.
Yamamoto smirked in a cold calculating fashion as he looked back at the two scientists he had formerly worked with. "I hope your enjoying this as much as I am, gentlemen.. this creature is going to change the world... but you won't be around to see if.. I have other plans I have to compleat before the creature finds me again.. so I leave you gentlemen with him to welcome him to his knew life." Yamamoto laughed and transformed before them, his body that of a zoalord's.. descended from a hidden family of those left behind by the creators.. and then he teleported away, leaving the two frightened chronos scientists along in the room with a creature that was slowly, purposfully pushing itself to it's feet.
Rabid suddenly woke again.. everything was differant.. things were sharper now.. and while he couldn't see.. he could still feel things around him, his head sensors flicking from side to side, taking in his surroundings, not missing a single detail. He took in three great wiffs of air into his new, enhanced sinus cavity. Each one telling him more than his old nose would ever be able to translate in a life time. He could smell food all around.. everywhere around.. and he suddenly became aware of a hunger.. an unquenchable, soul-deep hunger.. one there would be no fighting.
He let loose a howl, his new jaw dropping to reveal a titanic maw big enough to force a whole human inside. Rabid approached the two men.. it's tongue shooting out of it's maw and speared through one man's shoulder and coming out the back. The man screamed as the tongue's increadable muscles began to coil around his body, and knife-like bards suddenly peirced him all over as they emerged from the tongue's flesh. He felt faint as his blood, his life giving fluid, began to pour from his body.. but not a drop hit the floor. It was all greedily sucked up through the hollow barbs, reducing the man to a whithered husk in moments. With a snap of his tongue, rabid hurled the man free from the muscle speared through his shoulder and into the air, where he bounded up and snapped his jaws down, catching the man at the waist and shoveling him into his maw with titanic mitts. The second man watched in horror.. two bites, and his partner was gone. That's all it took.. two bites..
Rabid turned on the second scientist, his hunger still demanding him to eat.. so eat he did.. he consumed the second scientist without much of a fight.. then began to work his way through the building, consuming everyone he could find.. and with his accute sences.. he found everyone.. not a single employee was left behind.
Security put up a desperate fight.. but even the detachment of hyper zoanoids at the base were swiftly defeated by a cruel and terrible creature.
As he pondered what to do next, he realised that somehow, his transformation had made him.. more aware.. But he didn't have much time to sit and explore his new conciousness.. the hunger was unrelenting.. and drove him to kill again.
And again..
and again..
Within weeks.. Japan had been reduced to a wasteland.. once Rabid had devoured every living thing.. he discovered that plantlife was also fufilling to appease his great hunger.. but soon he ran out of that as well, devouring whole forests in days. His unique metabolism making it impossable to fill his every aching gut.. always wanting more.
Rabid knew there was only one thing to do..
Already discovered the power of flight, Rabid flew to China, and began his relentless buffet of horror there as well.
Eventually, the powers of the world began to realise something was terrible wrong, but neither the supernatural lords, nor chronos, were able to defeat the beast.
As for Yamamoto? He was caught, and exicuted for treason against Chronos, before his plans could be compleated. No one knows what else he had in store.. as he refused to tell of his plans.
Every living thing on earth was eventually eaten.. once everything was gone on the surface, Rabid dove into the ocean to devour everything under the seas as well.
Once there was no more food on earth.. Rabid sat down and began to slumber, his body entering something akin to hybernation. There was nothing left to eat.. so the hunter had no purpose. Rabid never pondered lift beyond the stars.. so when the creators returned to earth, Rabid awoke, over joyed, that he would be able to hunt once more.. to be able to send prety animal after prey animal into his always hungry gullet.
Eventually.. some alien species or another devised a plan to rid the universe of rabid.. create a gate to another existance.. and trap the terror there.
The idea worked.. in a fasion.. As Rabid ate the people responcable for the idea, but the gate was compleated regardless.. and Rabid.. scenting things to eat on the other side.. walked through, unaware that it would never be returning to it's home universe.
The gate had not been properly calibrated.. and it overloaded once Rabid passed through, tearing a hole in that universe's physics that it never recovered from.. and it died off, forgotten.. everyone who had hoped to be rid of Rabid forever found oblivion not at his jaws, but at the death of the entire universe.
In his new home, Rabid devoured all life on the planet, turning a peicefull intelligent race into nothing but another memory.. their beautifull home planet into a barren rock in space.
Finding no way off the planet, no ships to carry him to another world, Rabid eventually succumbed into another hybernation period.. and there he slept for a time untold.. untill a lychanlord detachment investigated the planet for signs of life after radio signals from thier dead civilization finally reached inhabited space.. and Anubis, filling a lust of his own, a lust for conquest.. decided to subjigate these lifeforms as well.
The lychanlords were unable to find anything more than old ruins.. nothing substantial remained of the ancient civilization..
Other than a slowly awakening hunger inside Rabid, as he smelled the lychanlords approaching in his sleep.
The rest, as they say.. is history.
