Dog Is Man's Best Friends

Cover is the forest that Pudd is in. Hope you enjoy this chapter and this arc.

Pudd is working out in the forest. He does push ups, jumping jacks, Punching in place, kicking the tree(with the districts on it), and sits ups. After his final sit up Pudd gets off the ground. Pudd picks up his shirt and looks at it. "I really need to clean this" Pudd disgustingly say. Pudd looks down at his bottoms. "Least my lower half is clean." Pudd proudly say. "If I go to wash my clothes in the city they might burn my clothes. Even if I saved two students from certain death" Pudd lividly thinks to himself. Pudd looks over to the bushes to see he has run out of berries. "Shit now I'm going to starve too? Just my luck" Pudd complains. "Pudd...I can cook you a meal and wash your clothes over by the river". Pudd turns around and see it's Sutoka. Pudd eyes goes to the right with an annoyed look on his face. "What's your purpose? How many times I got to tell you to leave me be. I'll handle my self." Pudd telling Sutoka off. Sutoka laughs and grabs Pudd's shirt. "Now now. Don't be so angry. You can trust me I won't burn your clothes haha." Sutoka plays around off of what Pudd said.

Pudd crosses his arm. "Last two people I trusted is the reason I'm here. They're the reason why I can't go anywhere without hate. There is reason why my brother is suffering in jail right now!" Pudd calmly but angry expressing himself. "Besides. What are isolated here for?" Pudd ask.  Sutoka smiles. "My son was isolated for being a delinquent. So I came with him" Sutoka explains. Pudd thinks of everyone in the outskirts and gets a thinking look. "Which one of those old bastards are your son? " Pudd ask. Sutoka with a smile. "He's in a better place right now. You two would have gotten along greatly. He also had the no trust mentality." Sutoka looks up and say. Pudd face gets a TINY bit concern. "Oh.". "Just take the damn shirt" Pudd said. Sutoka gladly takes the shirt. "I'll go back to the city to get more clothes for myself" Pudd tells Sutoka.  Sutoka gets concerned as she walks away. "Pudd is going to kill himself one day." She thinks to herself.  "Stupid old lady. Don't compare me to some kid who could't live in here. He's not worthy of comparing to Pudd" Pudd cockily say to himself.  Pudd looks at the tree. "Then again am I worthy? I haven't improved at all. I've been training my ass off. Yet for some reason my damage to the tree hasn't trained" Pudd complains. Pudd picks up the stick. and crosses over the Tree where it say "BEST IN THE WORLD". "Can I even call myself the best in the world?" Pudd angrily say to himself. Pudd thinks back to the Bounty Hunters from last week. "I could't even beat tech geeks. I bet there is stronger bounty hunters." Pudd pouts to himself.

The bushes shake and animals noises start to rumble. There's an animal screaming in pain. Pudd walks over to the bushes and open them. Pudd eyes open wide at what he sees.  He see five wild dogs in a circling around an animal. In the center of the circle is a small brown dog. The big dogs begins to growl as saliva comes from their mouth. Pudd steps back. "Shit! That dog should have known not to go in that area. Wild Dogs roam there" Pudd worries. The Dogs begin to bark and howl. "Shit I should't stay here and hear this. I can't interfere." Pudd panics. The small dog begins to squeak in fear and pain. One of the dogs launch at the small dog with it's vicious sharp teeth. Right before the dog can attack the small dog Pudd jumps in and throw the stick near the center of the pack. "Back away from him" Pudd yells. "Shit what am I doing?" Pudd thinks to himself. The Dogs all turn their attention to Pudd. They begins to growl and drips in saliva. "They locked onto to me now. If I run they'll chase. If I climb they'll get the dog" Pudd thinks. The Dogs pounce towards Pudd who ducks 2 Dogs but the other 3 bites his ribs, scratch, his other rib, and rams its head onto Pudd's chest. Pudd manages to get them off. Pudd runs to grabs the stick. "Damn I'm really going to die here.". Pudd runs towards the Dogs and runs up the tree and breaks the stick on a branch making it sharper. He jumps on top of one dog and stabs the Dog in his back. Pudd rolls away from the dead dog and the other dogs. "Guess it's just my hands now" Pudd thinks.  Sutoka is cleaning Pudd's shirt. "Hope Pudd's ok. At this time of day the Dogs roam free" She worries. Sutoka drenches the shirt in the river. She then scrubs the shirt aggressively. Next she pads the shirt out getting out the wrinkles. Lastly she hangs the shirt so it can dry off. "There! 15 minutes. Took me 15 minutes! Pudd better appreciate this" Sutoka tells herself while she posing in a stereotypical superhero way.

Pudd is covered in blood. His ribs are scarred, he got a cut that on the hand he's has up,  a bite mark on his leg, and blood on his shoulders. The 4 dogs are seen on the ground dead. Pudd turns around and visibly hurt. He sits down with near the dog. Who does a small growl. "Hey..no be scared. It's their blood on me not mine. They're gone" Pudd tells the little dog. Pudd rubs his hand on the wound on the leg. Pudd takes his pants off and rips it. "Here. This half is yours" Pudd as he wraps the pants half onto the little dog. Pudd uses the other half to wrap around his ribs. "That should stop it from bleeding". Pudd goes to pick the dog up. Pudd pulls his hand back at the last second. His face gains that of no emotion. "You'll probably bite me." Pudd said. The dog starts crying. "You want me to carry you?" Pudd curiously say. Pudd slowly picks up the dog and gulps. He holds up the Dog in the air. "You aren't going to attack my hand are you?" Pudd ask the dog. The Dog wags his tail. "You're so small and soft" Pudd admires. Pudd walks over to his tree and lays the dog down gently and sits down.

The dog crawls with 3 legs onto Pudd's lap. The dog licks Pudd's hand with the cut. "Ah crap! That burns."  Pudd shouts. Pudd laughs. "I knew you could't be trusted" Pudd jokes around. The dogs bark. "Huh you're barking? You must want a name" Pudd figures out. Pudd thinks to himself. "A name?" Pudd wonders.  Pudd looks at the "Best In The World" crossed out on the tree. "I know. I should name you the opposite of R.H.G" Pudd snaps his fingers. "Azul." Pudd pets the dog. "It's another word for blue. It's well known Blue v.s. Red was a legendary feud that lasted for ages. Azul sounds cooler" Pudd explains to Azul. "I bet you're confused. Lemme explain as short as possible." Pudd petting and talking to Azul. Pudd smiles at Azul. "Wow. I can't trust anyone. Here I am speaking to a dog". Azul wags his tail. "Hey don't rush me." Pudd tells Azul.

(Author's note. Mr.Wibbs when you make the manga version of this. This is a flashback with scenes being narrated and switching back and forth between the past and Pudd talking to Azul)

Pudd: You see Azul. I'm Project P. I was bred to be naturally gifted at fighting. My mom was ranked number 3 in the bad R.H.G. I won't tell you about my father. The whole point of the the Projects was to breed the "Best in The World".  Project D was the only one who wasn't the boss's son. The reason being was Damai's father was Ranked 2 and Damai's mom was Ranked 1 in planning based missions. I met Damai and we instantly became best friends. All the projects was within 1-2 years apart so I met the others. They wasn't cut out for fighting. Damai and myself always was put against the odds as the underdogs. We lost many times at first but each time we improved. I should skip ahead. You become the best at the age of 18. That's why I know little information of R.H.G. Then when I hit 14 it happened. Perhaps I still don't understand what happen but Damai's family defected from R.H.G. My dad found out and I didn't kill them. So I was forced to kill someone....a HUMAN being. Multiple.

It took me a long time to do it. In that time father murder random grunts in rage. I assumed mother died but I never saw her before I left. Father tied Damai and his mother out. After that I don't remember. Well I do know that father caused death right in front of me. I just refuse to think of it. After that we took a 3 month travel by foot to District 6. We didn't like it there very much. So even though we stayed for 6 months. It was just us in the forest bored. We then traveled another 3 months here to District 3. That's only because Damai got word of his mother lives in District 3. After using the tech that District 6 has to offer we made fake Ugos to get a house here in District 3. Amazingly we met these two amazing girls. The first day there. We somehow got stuck making a party and Damai began dating this girl. Well he thought they dated. I also met this jackass named Nate.  Lastly there was this girl named Cynthia. Just like you she's soft. Both in personality and her skin. Just like your fur is soft her hair was soft too. She was a good friend. She motivated me to become the Best. Though she liked me. Like...what you dogs called mating season. She kept kissing me and it was kinda annoying. I would...well..I used to do anything for her just like I would with Damai. Then that day. They sent my brother to jail and made me come here. I never trust anyone again. Though I do miss people honestly. Cynthia, The Football Team, and even Coach.  Most of all I miss my brother. But its not all bad. If I wasn't here you would be dead. Maybe I can trust animals. Maybe I can't. I'll test you out. Hopefully you'll be different than humans.

Pudd as he finish telling his story looks at Azul. "Aww...he fell asleep." Pudd examines Azul. Pudd looks at the sun. "The day is still young. It's should be around 3PM-6PM" Pudd looking at the sky. "But I feel tired". Pudd falls to sleep due to tired-ness and injuries. Pudd holds Azul on his lap.
