the other wolves?”
“ Well, I do kinda owe Rob a little bit. I mean he did get me here.”
“ What exactly was his purpose?”, the lady asks. “He brings down a militia of werewolves to run rampid in the woods? That don’t seem like he’s giving humanity a nice warm hug, does it?”
Now the man in the lab coat speaks. “You know, emotions run high when you are facing your own destruction. Let’s say you, Bear Claw, if you knew that your people would have been betrayed by the white man and savagely killed, so you ran away from the threat to save your tribe would you be wrong for wanting to survive?”
“ No.” replied the Indian.
“ Its kinda like the same difference only,….Pardon me, what is your name?”
“ Scott.” .
“ Scott? Oh, wow. If the rumors are true then a lot of you mooners are tv babies arent you.”
“ Well it was pretty much the only information we had to go on, wasn’t it? It only makes sense that my name would be Scott, right?”
The professor laughs at that. “Fascinating, just fascinating. And your form, why did your friend choose a werewolf? Oh no, let me guess. He’s a horror fan.”
“ Rob, no. I don’t think so. Maybe when he was younger, but he put the study of humanity way behind him long ago. I mean he just was more in love with the atmosphere more than anything I suppose. I really couldn’t tell you why. Maybe he was just pressed for time. He did mention something one time about the human form being hard to recreate from the moons genetic DNA sequence or something along those lines. But he was always ranting and raving on different issues like that, that I neither cared about or even came close to understanding. But he was really scared of the black matter. He said that it could always ooze out somehow in sequences during the transfer processes like it knew it was better than the other and devoured it.”
The mountain king quickly interrupts and says, “Yes, its true. Black matter is a big cause of all this. The hold can really devour its environment to almost suffocate it as soon as it appears. We would bind with an electrical charge to anything before we would even try to manipulate it back in our day on our first runs to the earth.”
“ You are a mooner like me aren’t you?, Scott asks.
“ Yes,” the ape man replies in his deep hypnotic voice. “We were the first to arrive. After we found out that the moon had entrapped us, we started to really do our research to find a way down. We never knew that the life cycle ended at three hundred, but we knew we had to leave for we were enslaved by the life force that dwelled within the moons surface. We had to do something and quick. So we used what we could use. The dark matter didn’t totally submerge and destroy the human DNA that we tried to produce so we had to splice it with something else. So we used the ape and here I am. Known to the humans as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. We have never died or reproduced. We can walk in both realms but are never really part of just one. We decided to be the guardians of the earth. When the humans died and fell into our plain, we recruited them and they have fought with us against the scurges of humanity that come from the moon or other galaxies whatever entity is a threat really like the ones here on earth. Like the dark matter that has tried and tried to keep us from leaving the moon since the dawn of our existence, which is much older than you think. And if my suspicions are right you can roll into both realms too. I can help you with this problem. it’s a little clumsy at first, but in time, you can do and be as me, but just remember if you do decide to go through both realms, you too will become a slave to its duties. But we will talk more on that. Come now, for there is a lot of work to do and true night falls.”
