Fable Fantasy Adventure : The Magician's Return

Chapter 3: Double Trouble

    On a break time, Tyco eats together with Tane, Marin, Gon and Nate. Everyone is eating except Tyco. "Why aren't you eating, Tyco?" Marin asked. "I never ate anything except  rabbits before," Tyco answered. "Oh right, we forgot that you're an Owlman. Let me guess, you eat mice, rabbits, and other small animals, right?" Nate guessed. "Indeed he is," Tane said. Suddenly, a mouse sneaks out from under the table. "Yikes, mouse!" Marin said. Tyco easily caught the mouse with his hand, his nails extend into talons that pierce the mouse to death and return to normal nails. "Oh my god...," Gon said upon seeing Tyco's dirty nails from killing the mouse. "You killed that mouse with your own hand," Nate said, he stopped eating. "If you're going to eat...please do it quietly without anyone notice what you're doing," Tane said to Tyco. Tyco looks around and everyone seems busy with themselves. Starving, Tyco gorges on the dead mouse like a wild owl and after a while, he leaves nothing but a mouse's blood on his mouth as he wipe his mouth with his tongue. "Unbelievable!" Marin gaped in shock. "Man, even though Merlin turn you into a Human. You just can't get rid of that wild owl instinct, can you?" Tane said calmly while she is drinking her glass of water. "I don't know, that inner feeling is still inside me after becoming a Human," Tyco explained. "Good grief...," Tane said, put her glass on the table. "Hey you!" Someone yelled at them. "What is it this time?" Tane asked. A tall boy with two boys and a girl walk to them. "Well, well, it's the stupid gang, the Rot Brain gang," Nate joked. "That's Rotor gang for you!" Han, the leader of the gang said. "Well, if isn't it the new transfer student," Fitz said. "I saw something suspicious of you during introduction earlier," Jibbs said in suspicious tone. "Yeah, those bandages on your arms and feet are the proof. Your eyes are weird too. What kind of eyes are those, owl eyes?" Sally makes fun of Tyco's appearance. Everyone looks at them. "So what? You guys came to bother us again...?" Gon said calmly. "Ha! We came here for the new student," Fitz said in angry tone. "What are you hiding, you orange-eyed freak?" Sally asked. Han pulls Tyco by force and as he was about to open the bandages on Tyco's arms, Tyco pushes Han away with his feet and runs outside with his clawed feet revealed. Outside the school, Tyco spreads his wings and fly but Han and the gangs manages to grab on Tyco's feet while Tyco keep flying upward and out of the gate. "Tyco!" Tane and the others called while following Tyco. Far from school, Tyco land on the ground and blow them a distance from him. "I will fight all of you myself!" Tyco angered, he releases all the bandages on his arms. "You dare to fight us?! Let's do this!" Fitz said in angry and haughty tone. Han and the gangs fight Tyco in 4 on 1. "Tyco! Be careful!" Tane said. Tyco slams charging angry Fitz with his wing and Han runs at Tyco with his fist ready. Tyco fly past Han while his feet grab the shoulders. He spins him to the ground and slams him to the ground. Jibbs uses his slingshot and shoots pebbles at Tyco. Tyco uses his wings as shield and blow the rock back at Jibbs by making a twister that Jibbs upward along with the rocks after getting hit. Meanwhile...Sally uses two whips that she crafted herself and pull Tyco toward her. "This time, you won't get away," Sally readies her other whip. Angered, Tyco uses his claw on Sally as soon as he got near her. "Ow!" Sally kicked Tyco away after getting clawed on the face. Sally notices her face bleeding a lot from the claw marks on her face. "How dare you do this to my face!" Sally lifts Tyco with both whips and slam him to the ground. "No! Tyco!" Gon screamed from afar and everyone joined with Tyco. Tyco stands up and flies to the sky. Tyco shoots feathers from his wings on Sally. Sally screams as the feathers hit her like sharp knifes and fall to the ground. Jibbs falls to the ground shortly after Sally. Tyco jump far from the exhausted and wounded gang. Tyco's ear tufts protrude up along with his feathers and makes owl's loud threatening screech on the gang. Hearing the screech, the gang stands up with a scared face and runs away. "Agh!! Run!! The new student is a monster!" Fitz said. "I'm not going to this school ever again!" Sally said. The gangs run away as Marin laughed at them. "Don't mess with the owl, jerks!" Marin yelled. After the school bell rang, everyone goes home when someone exclaims," Look, a magician!". A Jewish magician is performing his magic in front of everyone. All students look at the magician's performance in awe. "Wow! A magician!" A girl said, she ran to get a closer look at the performance. Many students ran to get a closer look. "Today is the weirdest day ever," Tane sighed. Meanwhile, Magus the magician search for Tyco while he keeps performing his amazing magic. Among the students, he spotted a boy with orange owl eyes. He stops and announces," Greetings, I am Magus the Magician". "You're the best!" All students cheered. "I thank you for everyone who came to see my performance. Now, for the next performance. I introduce you, the Wolfman!" Magus announced. As soon as the cage's blanket opened, the wolf howls a mind controlling howl. Anyone who hears it are under Magus's control after the sound was heard. " Oh no, everyone's got brainwashed! Run!" Gon yelled. "Tyco, take us out of here!" Tane told Tyco. "Let's get out of here, big sister!" Tyco said. Tyco opens his wings and brought Tane along with the others. "Ugh! It's too heavy! I can't fly faster like this!" Tyco said, struggling to carry everyone. "You can't carry them alone...," A voice said. "Who?" Marin turn at where the voice came from. "Badb Catha!" A raven masked long red-haired man with red eyes on a big crow swoop down and the crow carried Nate and Marin. "Help!" Both screamed. A girl on a broom flies to them. "Heyo. It's me, Merlin!" The girl said. "Merlinamy! You came!" Tane called. "Indeed. I heard what happened so I came here quickly. Summoner! Let's follow Tyco, we need to discuss about Magus immediately," Merlin commanded. "As you wish, Merlin," Summoner obeyed. "Wait, you know Magus?!" Marin asked. "I do," Merlin nodded. "Who are you?" Nate asked. "Save that question for later. We have to hide from Magus first," Merlin said. Everyone fly back to Tane's home.
