The Ferocious Four

Fanart

-Former No.1 Adventurer, "Phantom Spider" Jones

First making their debut in H19 Pursuit of the Daemon Hunters, **The Ferocious Four** are a team of ruthless shadow mercenaries, all of which are brothers. They fight, assassinate and protect for the right price. They are incredibly capable, and even Alex's grandfather, the Phantom Spider, a former No. 1 adventurer had admitted that if they teamed up, he would not stand a chance against them. Ironically, however, The Ferocious Four seemed to fear him due to them retreating when he arrived. The Ferocious Four were one of the most powerful villains before Alex went berserk, injuring them seriously with his Ibyon strength.

The Ferocious four are under a curse known as the Sky Demon's Cursewhich gave them immense strength but suppressed their emotions as a side effect. This curse was broken by Alex in H27 (Flight of the Ferocious Four), although only Woe and The Void had the curse broken for them.

## Design

Each of the Ferocious Four have masks that depicts their only emotion. All four of them are equipped with black, and seemingly impenetrable armour, which is a huge advantage in combat.

Each of their facial expressions are uniquely and carefully crafted by Solar Team. Drawing Fury’s mask was the most challenging but satisfying.

## Members

### **The Void**

-The Void's only line before H27 Flight Of The Ferocious Four.

The Void is the team's leader, strategist, a biologist, as well as the last of the **Blood Clan,** along with the mad scientist, Doctor Ming. His name comes from the fact that he is de**void** of emotions. As the leader and mastermind behind their incalculable crimes, The Void is designed as a gentleman, incorporating a expressionless mask, as well as a top hat and a buttoned trench coat, all hidden under a full body cloak. He is also often armed and equipped with surgical tools and his modified creatures and experiments.

He is the team's researcher, and creates creatures by combining the deadly parts of other creatures, as well as creating more eccentric creations. These creatures serve as weapons for the Ferocious Four, and includes exploding birds, rats with acidic blood, and even their version of the Chimera, a fire- breathing hybrid of a lion with a goat's head and a snake for a tail, according to Greek Mythology. He extracted some of Alex's IBYon blood in H26- Escape from the Dark Banquet for research.

His weakness is that he is a poor physical fighter, putting himself at a great disadvantage during melee combat. This makes him resort to using his biological experiments as weapons, which he often hides within his cloak. Hence, in H29- Might of the Ancient Axe, he lost to the combined efforts of Alex and Fenrir as he was alone and without support from his brothers.

In H35- Rift in the Blood Clan, he freed Woe to assist him in regaining their brothers as they craved revenge after learning what Dr Ming had done.

### **Fury**

-Fury's angry nature.

Fury is one of The Void's four brothers. Due to the curse that affects him, he is only able to feel various degrees of anger. Rash and bad-tempered, he is usually equipped with a jetpack and is the only member of the Ferocious Four that is flight capable. During H19 - Pursuit of the Daemon Hunters, Fury dealt the finishing blow to Jackal by ramming into him in midair.

Fury is usually armed with a large jetpack with a wing-like appearance, which he can use to ram people in midair, machine guns attached to his wings and a bazooka armed with what is described as a "Shock Missile". He was heavily injured in H26, when he dived from a great height and crashed on the ground during the Triangle Maneuver , which caused collosal destruction to the area, but injured himself as a result.

After his defeat in H27, Glee and him became a mindless monster which served Ming and Sigurd Bodon. He was ultimately defeated in H35- Rift in the Blood Clan and was subsequently killed by Ming, who mercilessly blew him up using a detonator hidden in his and Glee’s hearts.

### **Glee**

-Glee while defeating Lulu.

Glee is one of The Void's four brothers. Due to the curse that affects him, he is only able to feel various degrees of happiness and is constantly laughing as a result. Glee is a fighter with incredible agility, has strength comparable to President Robert of the World Adventure Union, in addition to being skillful in combat. With all of these factors combined, he could easily defeat Lulu despite her being in her adult form during H19 - Pursuit of the Daemon Hunters.

Glee is usually unarmed, mostly reliant on his fists to fight, with an exception being a few bombs that were used in H19- Pursuit of the Daemon Hunters.

After his defeat in H27, Fury and him became a mindless monster which served Ming and Sigurd Bodon. He was ultimately defeated in H35- Rift in the Blood Clan and was subsequently killed by Ming, who mercilessly blew him up using a detonator hidden in his and Fury’s heart.

### **Woe**

-Woe after Alex broke his curse.

Woe is one of The Void's four brothers. Due to the curse that affects him, he is only able to feel various degrees of sadness, and is constantly crying and sobbing when he speaks. The tallest of the four, he carries a huge hammer that is made of 100 percent steel: a weapon of pure force. After Alex removed the IBYon cells inside his body during H27 - Flight of The Ferocious Four, breaking the curse, he switched sides and also promised to not hurt any people or creatures. He turned himself in and became a prisoner, where he stayed until breaking out in H34 - Contest of The Mechas in a fit of rage, after learning what Ming had done of Glee and Fury.

Woe is immensely strong, and can withstand bullet fire and even Ming's "Glee and Fury" monster, which was enhanced with steel body armour. He, at first, sued a hammer in battle, but in later books, he uses his bare hands to fight.

Despite being very evil before Alex broke his Sky Demon's curse, he is actaully one of the most soft-hearted character out of the four. After Alex broke his curse and saved his brother's life, he promised to switch sides, telling him everything he knew and sweared not to harm creatures again. He no longer had bad intentions, and even promised Alex to remain in his cell and never escape. He only did so in the end of H34 as he and the Void wanted revenge on Dr Ming for turning Glee and Fury into a monster. He also felt sorrowful when his brothers did not recognise him in H35 and was extremely sad when Ming killed them. This deduces the fact that he can actually love and his previous evil is mostly caused by the curse that was passed down from his descendants.

## Origins

There was once a reclusive couple who dabbed in alchemy and somatology, in hope to create the elixir of immortality. During their lifespans, the Sky Demon descended upon the world and declared war on the Earth. When a Tengu Warrior struck the Sky Demon with his blade, the wound he inflicted healed almost instantly.

The couple realized that they would be able to achieve their dream using the Sky Demon's blood, so they hid themselves away and studied the Sky Demon’s blood in secrecy, and created what they deemed to be the Elixir of Immortality. The husband attempted to drink it but as it was made poorly, he coughed up blood and fell unconscious, and eventually survived only due to his wife's bloodletting skills. However, he was afflicted by the curse, and became unable to feel any emotions besides sadness.

Time passed, and the couple was blessed with twins, but the twins shared their father’s fate; The older twin laughed all day while the other felt nothing but rage. The curse, known as the Sky Demon’s curse was passed down all the way to the Ferocious Four.

## Secondary Weapons/creatures

* Lizard Monitors
* Whale transportation
* Chimera
* Modified monster similiar to Oude Boom's children

## Defeat

   In H27 - Flight of The Ferocious Four, adventurers Alex, Lulu, Jones, Ling, Axe and Kelly, a Global Alliance Member, hunted down the Ferocious Four, which they were hiding in an island inhabited by the Sentilense, a local tribe of indigenous people hostile to outsiders.

**The Void** attempted to fight the group on their Chimera, but was forced to flee, and awakened an experiment based on one of Oude Bloom's kind, and when it was killed, injected Alex's Ibyon cells inside his body, undergoing a Ibyon transformation before being defeated by him.

**Woe** attempted to fight Jones, but was ultimately defeated when Ling's Disorienting Bell attack rendered him unable to fight.

**Glee** fought Lulu in his injured state, and was about to deal a strong blow to her when he was shot by Kelly, and was taken down by their combined effort, before escaping using one of The Void's modified creatures.

**Fury** attempted to attack Axe but was distracted by Jackal, who allowed Axe to shoot Fury's Jetpack, causing him to lose control, giving Jackal the upper hand, which allowed Jackal to defeat him by throwing his jetpack at Fury, which later explodes. Fury, like Glee escaped using one of The Void's creatures.

Both Glee and and Fury's escape creatures were shot by Doctor Ming, who abducted them and later made them into a biological creation.
