Zios and Mira

## Note

I put images so you know how the characters look. Those images are NOT drawn by me. Anyways, enjoy the story. :)

## Hate

I flew around, practicing my flying skills, when my love, Zios came.

"Hello Zios."

"Hello Mira. I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" I asked.

"The jammers hate us." He said. I gasped.

"What! Why?"

"I don't know. A group of jammers came to me and said they hate us."

"I can't believe it!" I was so surprised by this. Why would the jammers hate us? "What are we going to do about this?" I asked Zios. "I have an idea." He whispered. "What is it?" I said to him. "We destroy them!"

"No Zios! Why would we destroy them?"

"Because they hate us. We created Jamaa fro them and now, they hate us!" Zios said to me, before floating away.

"WAIT! ZIOS!" I called out.

## Destroy

I flew to Jamaa and found Zios telling the jammers something. "Jammers! Why do you hate me and Mira?"

The jammers tilted their heads in confusion. "Wait, they must not hate us! If they did, wouldn't they understand what Zios is talking about? Because they look so confused." I whispered to myself. I flew closer to the poor jammers.

"Since you all are so ungrateful, you will be destroyed!" Zios yelled and a green beam hit the ground of Jamaa! All the jammers screamed and gasped before running away. "Zios! Stop!" I said and flew closer to Zios. "Mira! You're here! Help me destroy them!" He said before blasting another beam at Jamaa Furniture.

"No, Zios! They don't hate us! You must stop. Those jammers were just messing with you!" I grabbed Zios' mask and pulled him away. "Mira! Stop it! We must get rid of this ugly jammers!"

I gasped as I saw a tiny wolf pup crying on the floor. I picked her up and carried her as I tried to get Zios to stop again.

"Mira. You've got a wolf on your back. Aren't you going to destroy it?" Zios looked at me. "No!" I grabbed onto his mask once more.

"You must stop this nonsense!" I yelled at him as 5 more green beams rained across Jamaa. I knew I couldn't stop him.

"I'll never stop!" Zios said to me.

"I'll get the alphas to defeat you."

"I've already locked the alphas up!" Zios laughed. I gasped.

"Then, a new generation of Alphas will come soon and they'll defeat you! With my help!" I flew away, the little wolf pup, sleeping on my back.

"Why must you be so angry, Zios?" I whispered, tears in my eyes as I went to the only other place I knew. The phantom fortress...

## The New Allies

I knocked on the phantom's door and a tiny phantom opened the door.

"Junior!" It called out. A black wolf came to the door. "Mira?"

I had known this wolf since he was a little pup. "Junior! I need your help."

"With what?"

"Zios is attacking Jamaa! I need your help to stop him!"

"Now, how would I do that?"

"With the phantoms! The phantoms are powerful!" I said. He looked down at the tiny phantom, who was smiling, not knowing who this 'Zios' was.

"Sorry, you've gotta look somewhere else." Junior almost closed the door but I stopped him with my wing. "Wait! Why won't you help?"

The black wolf looked at me and back at the phantom. "The phantoms are weak right now. Ever since the Zios declared war on the phantoms, phantoms have been dying like crazy! We found out why. Zios and his army poisoned the phantom goop, which is what these guys eat."

"Well, what if I tell you, I'll help with the goop if you help train young jammers to become Alphas! Deal?"

"Hmm, I don't know."

"Please! I need help to stop Zios!"

"O-ok. Deal." He said. I smiled and gave Junior the brown wolf pup. "I'll be back. I'll be gone looking for more jammers!" I said before flying away. "Um, okay! But be quick!" He called out.

## Found you!

I flew over Jamaa. I could see fire and buildings broken. A small group of jammers came out from under a small shelter before grabbing a leaf and running back as Zios flew over them. I gasped. "Jamaa..." I whispered. What was once a beautiful town, was now an ugly, dirty, wasteland. I kept flying, trying to stay away from Zios when I spotted a blue bunny. He hopped around and sniffed the air before coughing.

"It's a young bunny!" I said and flew down. "Hello." I said to him as I landed. He turned around. "A-are you M-mira?" He stuttered. I nodded. "Please help me find mama and papa! And stop evil Zios!" He ran up to my and grabbed my leg.

"Don't worry, I'll help you! But I need your help too."

"What is it?"

"Do you want to be an Alpha?" I asked him. He gasped.

"Yes! Then I'll be like Sir Gilbert and crush evil Zios!" He laughed.

"Yep!" I picked him up by his scuff and placed him on my back. "Hang on!" I said and flew up. "Wheee!" I heard him say. I kept flying when I saw a tiny tiger, with purple stripes, sleeping. But Zios was coming closer to her. I gasped and flew down. "Lil tiger! Wake up!" I yelled, hoping Zios wouldn't notice. I flew right above her and picked her up with my talons in just a few seconds before a giant green beam hit the floor. I had flew up just in time. "What the?" I heard the tiny tiger say. "Don't worry!" I said, calmly.

The tiny tiger screamed. "No! Don't cry!" I said. "No cry! Mira good bird!" The young bunny said. The tiny tiger looked up at him. "Zios bad!" She said. "I know." I told her.

"Where we going?" Asked the tiger.

"To find a new friend." I said. The bunny and tiger cheered. "YAY!" They said. So we continued to fly. I looked for a monkey but couldn't find one. "Aw, we need a monkey!" I said. "How 'bout that foxy?" The tiger pointed a claw to a dark red fox. The fox jumped on a leaf. "But, she isn't a monkey."

"So?" Said the bunny.

"Hmm, maybe it doesn't matter." I flew down. The tiger wigged out from my talons and the bunny jumped off my back once I landed. "Hello." I said the the fox.

"Who are you?" Asked the fox. Her tail was puffed up.

I looked at the dark red fox as she relaxed. "Mira?" She whispered.

I nodded. "Yes. And I need your help." The fox looked at me. She was a little bit older than the bunny and tiger. "What is it?" She asked.

"I need help fighting Zios. Can you help me?"

"Wait, like an Alpha?"

I nodded. "Of course!" She smiled

"Yes! Now, c'mon! We need to find 2 more jammers!" I told her, as the tiny fox leaped on my back, along with the tiger and bunny.

I flew up, in search of 2 more jammers when I spotted 2 koala twins fighting over a piece of fruit. As I landed near them, I startled them, resulting in them dropping the fruit. "Hello there." I smiled at them.

"M-mira? Why is Zios attacking us?" The brown koala asked me. "He thinks all the jammers hate him." I explained.

"But we don't." The light brown koala said.

"But he won't listen so how would you like to be an Alpha so you help stop Zios?"

The twins gasped. "YES!" They shouted and hopped onto my back. "Now, we have everyone. Let's go!" I said and flew back to the phantom fortress.

## Meet The Phantoms

"Where are we going?" Asked the tiger.

"Oh, well, the phantoms."

I probably shouldn't have said that. "PHANTOMS!" They all screamed.

"Calm down! The phantoms won't hurt you." I said.

The bunny looked at me. "Are you sure?" I nodded. "Look! We're here." I smiled at the young jammers. I landed and all the jammers jumped off my back. "Are you sure sure?" The bunny asked again. "Yes! Now c'mon." I started to walk to the door. I could hear whimpers behind me. "Calm down-"

"Bleak! (Who are you?)" I heard someone call. I could tell that it was phantom language. I turned around and saw a phantom propped up on a tower, looking at us.

"Mira?" The phantom relaxed and turned around, doing a signal with it's tentacle. I turned around and saw a draw bridge opening to let us in. A black and white wolf came forward.

"Mira! You're back!" He said.

"Hello Junior. I have the new Alphas." He tilted his head. "Um, where are they?"

"What are you talking about-" I looked down and saw that the young jammers were gone! I turned around and saw them hiding behind me. "Relax guys! This is Junior and he'll introduce you to the phantoms. Right Junior?" The wolf rolled his eyes.

"Yep. All 10,967 of them." He sighed when a brown and white wolf pup came running. I immediately recognized her as the wolf pup I saved. "Hi! I'm Petal!" She barked at the others.

"I'm Nicky." Said the fox pup.

"Mickey." Said the bunny. "Wiki." Said the light brown koala. "Willie." Answered the other koala.

"I'm Lily!" The young tiger roared. "Okay, c'mon guys! We have to meet the phantoms!" I told them and their fear was gone as they ran into the phantom fortress, Junior growling because he had to name all of the phantoms. I went in right before the draw bridge shut behind us.

"Ok guys! Come to the front of the fortress!" Junior called to all the phantoms. All of a sudden, the room became kind of crowded.

"Okay, so this is Jimmy, Riley, Bee, Mocha, Flower, Seed, Stem, Elena, Tom, Dot, George, John..." Junior continued to name all the phantoms...

Which took 5 hours.

After every phantom was named, I told everyone I'm going to go check Jamaa.

"Why?" Asked Wiki

"Because I need to make sure Zios hasn't burned it down yet." I smiled. I flapped my wings and flew up.
