Shulza la media mujerlobo

La pequeña Shulza era una paria dentro del clan de los hombreslobo ninja, nació con todas las características y fuerza de un hombrelobo pero salvo sus orejas el resto de su cuerpo era humano, «un lobo sin pelaje no resistirá el gélido frío del espacio» rezaba un viejo adagio dentro del clan, pero Shulza habia nacido para probar lo contrario, su padre hizo valer sus derechos como miembro pleno del clan y Shulza fue aceptada en una de las escuelas del clan en los planetas exteriores, donde los cadetes lejos de los enemigos habituales del clan podían entrenar y desarrollar sus habilidades antes de ser llamado a la batalla.

La llegada a la escuela no fue muy bien recibida por la otra mujerlobo cadete, retándola a un combate a muerte, Shulza la mato no sin antes llevarse una buena cicatriz en su cuello, esto le gano el respeto de los demás estudiantes y los maestros, no habían muchos, por medidas de seguridad, en cada escuela los hombrelobo ninjas solo colocaban a un puñado de cadetes y un par o tres instructores, desperdigando por los planetas exteriores las escuelas evitaban ser presa fácil de sus mas acérrimos rivales, los cyberpiratas y entre ellos el mas sanguinario de todo, el peligroso clan de @Logiczombie que no solo los cazaba por diversión si no para venderlos como esclavos al mejor postor, gracias a su fama de fieros, incanzables y temerarios, eran moneda de cambio para las arenas intergalacticas de lucha o como mercenarios.

Shulza y su grupo avanzaba en su aprendizaje, ella era la mas destacada pero por ser mujer y media mujerlobo no la habia ascendido a líder de grupo, Shulza aguantaba y esperaba su momento, aunque este no llego de la mejor manera para los hombrelobos, la escuela recibió un llamado de auxilio de la otra escuela situada en el mismo sector en otro planeta no muy lejano a solo saltos de Thundra el planeta selvático donde estaba la escuela de Shulza, el viejo hombrelobo Danko instructor en jefe dispuso dos grupos, uno lo liberaría el y el otro Jeziel, el segundo instructor de le escuela, ambos armaron sus grupos de asalto escogiendo entre los mejores cadetes de la escuela, como siempre Shulza no fue elegida por ninguno de los dos y se quedo atrás con solo 6 cadetes mas, con la orden de cuidar de la escuela, igual no podrían haber echo otra cosa, los dos grupos partieron llevándose las únicas dos naves en Thundra.

Luego de una semana sin comunicaciones por parte de los suyos el radar detecta en los monitores que una nave de combate desconocida habia ingresado al planeta y peinaba la superficie del mismo buscando la escuela, Shulza quería quedarse a pelear protegiendo las instalaciones tal como se les habia ordenado, pero Rolfz el autodenominado líder de los cadetes restantes en Thundra prefirió abandonar la escuela y esperar a lo que viniera en esa nave escondidos en la selva, sin poder hacer cambiar de parecer al grupo Shulza tuvo que salir con el resto y esconderse como ratas en la jungla a la espera del arribo de la nave enemiga. Cuando aterrizo a pocos metros de la escuela no habia duda, el escudo de los cyberpiratas de @LogicZombie adornaba el costado de la nave.

Los jóvenes hombreslobos se sorprendieron al ver que solo tres mujeres cyberpiratas descendieron de la nave, no entraron a inspeccionar la escuela, seguramente los censores de su nave detectaron que no habia nadie adentro, Rolfz se sintió orgulloso de su proceder, Shulza trato de intervenir pero como siempre no la dejaron aullar, Las tres cyberpiratas no estaban armadas y solo la mas ruda, seguramente la capitana parecía de cuidado gracias a su brazo robotico que no seria sencillo derrotar en uno contra uno, las otras dos cyberpiratas se pusieron a encender una fogata al lado de su nave para pasar la noche, mientras la del brazo robotico inspeccionaba la nave, Rolfz ordeno que las rodeasen y las tomaran prisioneras para apoderarse de su nave, Shulza alzo su mano en protesta, simplemente no podía ser tan sencillo habia que ir con cuidado era una trampa, pero no le hicieron caso como siempre.

Los seis jóvenes cadetes hombrelobo avanzaron al amparo de la noche desenvainaron sus sables y rodearon a las 3 mujeres que para ese momento asaban unas salchichas en el fuego, Shulza se quedo atrás mascullando lo cabeza dura que era Rolfz y el resto, apenas los seis hombrelobos le dieron la voz de alto a las cyberpiratas para que se rindieran la capitana toco rápidamente un botón en su brazo robotico y unas trampas automáticas se accionaron saliendo del fuselaje de la nave y dos mas desde la propia fogata, una red de Lirium atrapo a cada hombrelobo como a un pez, uno de los metales mas duros de la galaxia, para colmo bañado en plata, quemando a los cadetes al contacto mientras mas trataban de soltarse mas se apretada la red. en ese momento la cyberpirata del brazo robotico hablo.

-Quietos lobitos, estén muy quietos, mientras mas se muevan mas apretara la red hasta cortarlos en pedazos, y los necesito enteros no en piezas.

La capitana entro a la nave para empezar a preparar el despegue mientras las otras dos comenzaron a arrastrar a sus presas hasta la nave, una de las cyberpiratas, los cuenta, y le dice a su compañera que -solo hay seis!!!-, la otra se encoge de hombros, el scanner de la superficie alrededor de la escuela señalo 7 marcas de hombrelobo, esta vez la otra cyberpirata no pudo encogerse de hombros porque ya Shulza le habia atravesado el corazón desde la espalda, la otra suelta a los lobos que arrastraba y trata de gritar para alertar a la capitana pero ya era demasiado tarde primero llego el sable de Shulza a su garganta a que saliera su grito, Rolfz le pide a Shulza que los libere pero el sable de Shulza no puede cortar la red, debe liberarlos por el comando que controla las redes dentro de la nave cyberpirata.

La pequeña Shulza entra sigilosa por la puerta trasera abierta de par en par a la espera del cargamento de hombreslobos, en ese preciso instante la capitana se asoma por una ventana de la nave y ve a sus dos subordinadas en el suelo, enseguida se pone en guardia sacando su blaster con su mano humana, Shulza hace un perfecto ataque cortando su arma por la mitad, el brazo robotico de la cyberpirata toma el sable de la mujerlobo, se lo quita arrojándolo muy lejos, Shulza ataca a mano limpia trenzándose las dos guerreras con sus brazos en una lucha de fuerza, que el brazo robotico de la capitana iba a terminar mas temprano que tarde, Shulza era fuerte como toda una mujerlobo adulta pero su brazo no resistiría el pulso del metal por mucho tiempo, pero la pequeña mujerlobo no tuvo miedo y se acerco lo mas que pudo a riesgo de perder su brazo, pero sus colmillos alcanzaron primero el cuello de la cyberpirata, arrancándole casi la mitad de un tajo, la cyberpirata cae muerta, Shulza habia mostrado su valía.

Acciona el botón liberando a sus hermanos lobo, todos entran a la nave arrodillasen frente a Shulza, menos Rolfz que se queda de pie.

-¿Que hacemos ahora Capitana Shulza?- preguntan a coro a los seis jovenes hombrelobos

-Unirnos a la batalla en la otra escuela.

Todos los hombreslobos vitorearon la orden y el nombre de su nueva líder, Shulza agradece a sus compañeros el nombramiento y acepta el mando, pero antes de partir, primero deben quitar esos feos escudos de @Logiczombie del fuselaje, por supuesto encargo de la tarea a Rolfz.

Fin.

Shulza the half werewolf

Little Shulza was an outcast within the clan of ninja werewolves, she was born with all the characteristics and strength of a werewolf but except for her ears the rest of her body was human, "a wolf without fur will not resist the freezing cold of space" it read. an old adage within the clan, but Shulza was born to prove otherwise, her father asserted his rights as a full member of the clan and Shulza was accepted into one of the clan's schools on the outer planets, where cadets far from enemies Clan regulars could train and develop their skills before being called into battle.

The arrival at the school was not very well received by the other cadet werewolf, challenging her to a death match, Shulza killed her but not before taking a good scar on her neck, this earned her the respect of the other students and teachers, There weren't many, due to security measures, in each school the ninja werewolves only placed a handful of cadets and a couple or three instructors, scattering around the outer planets the schools avoided being easy prey for their staunchest rivals, the cyber-pirates and among others. They, the most bloodthirsty of all, the dangerous @Logiczombie clan that not only hunted them for fun but also to sell them as slaves to the highest bidder, thanks to their reputation for being fierce, unattainable and reckless, were a bargaining chip for the intergalactic arenas of fight or as mercenaries.

Shulza and her group advanced in their learning, she was the most outstanding but because she was a woman and half a werewolf, she had not been promoted to group leader, Shulza endured and waited for her moment, although this did not come in the best way for the werewolves, the school received a distress call from the other school located in the same sector on another planet not far away just jumps from Thundra the jungle planet where Shulza's school was, the old werewolf Danko head instructor arranged two groups, one would free him He and the other Jeziel, the second instructor of the school, both assembled their assault groups choosing among the best cadets in the school, as always Shulza was not chosen by either of them and was left behind with only 6 more cadets, with The order to take care of the school, just as they could not have done otherwise, the two groups left taking the only two ships in Thundra.

After a week without communication from his people, the radar detected on the monitors that an unknown combat ship had entered the planet and was combing its surface looking for the school. Shulza wanted to stay and fight, protecting the facilities as they had been told ordered, but Rolfz, the self-appointed leader of the remaining cadets in Thundra, preferred to leave the school and wait for what came in that ship hidden in the jungle, unable to change the group's mind Shulza had to go out with the rest and hide like rats in the jungle awaiting the arrival of the enemy ship. When it landed a few meters from the school there was no doubt, the @LogicZombie hacker shield adorned the side of the ship.

The young werewolves were surprised to see that only three female cyber-pirates got off the ship, they did not enter to inspect the school, surely the censors of their ship detected that there was no one inside, Rolfz was proud of his behavior, Shulza tried to intervene but as always they did not let her howl, the three cyberpirates were not armed and only the toughest one, surely the captain seemed careful thanks to her robotic arm that would not be easy to defeat one on one, the other two cyberpirates began to light a bonfire next to their ship to spend the night, while the one with the robotic arm inspected the ship, Rolfz ordered them to surround them and take them prisoner to seize their ship, Shulza raised his hand in protest, it simply couldn't be that simple, we had to go carefully it was a trap, but they ignored him as usual.

The six young werewolf cadets advanced under the cover of night, unsheathed their sabers and surrounded the 3 women who by that time were roasting some sausages on the fire, Shulza staying behind muttering how hard-headed Rolfz was and the rest, just the six werewolves. They called a halt to the cyberpirates to surrender, the captain quickly touched a button on her robotic arm and some automatic traps were activated coming out of the ship's fuselage and two more from the campfire itself, a Lirium net caught each werewolf like a fish, one of the hardest metals in the galaxy, to top it off bathed in silver, burning the cadets on contact the more they tried to get loose the tighter the net. At that moment the cyberpirate with the robotic arm spoke.

-Quiet little wolves, be very still, the more you move, the more the net will tighten until it cuts you into pieces, and I need you whole, not in pieces.

The captain entered the ship to start preparing for takeoff while the other two began to drag their prey to the ship, one of the cyberpirates counts them, and tells her partner that -there are only six!!!-, The other one shrugs, the scanner on the surface around the school showed 7 werewolf marks, this time the other cyberpirate couldn't shrug because Shulza had already pierced her heart from behind, the other one let go of the wolves who was dragging and tries to scream to alert the captain but it was too late first Shulza's saber reached his throat for his scream to come out, Rolfz asks Shulza to free them but Shulza's saber cannot cut the net, You must release them by the command that controls the networks inside the cyber-pirate ship.

Little Shulza sneaks in through the wide-open back door waiting for the shipment of werewolves, at that precise moment the captain looks out a window of the ship and sees her two subordinates on the ground, she immediately puts herself in guard taking out her blaster with her human hand, Shulza makes a perfect attack by cutting her weapon in half, the cyberpirate's robotic arm takes the werewolf's saber, throwing it away from her, Shulza attacks with her bare hands, braiding the two warriors with her arms in a struggle of strength, that the captain's robotic arm was going to end sooner rather than later, Shulza was strong as an adult werewolf but her arm wouldn't resist the pulse of metal for long, but the little werewolf wouldn't He was afraid and got as close as he could at the risk of losing his arm, but his fangs reached the cyberpirate's neck first, ripping off almost half of a cut, the cyberpirate falls dead, Shulza had shown his worth.

He activates the button releasing his werewolves, everyone enters the ship kneeling in front of Shulza, except Rolfz who remains standing.

"What do we do now, Captain Shulza?" they ask the six young werewolves in chorus.

-Join the battle at the other school.

All the werewolves cheered the order and the name of their new leader, Shulza thanks his companions for the appointment and accepts command, but before leaving, they must first remove those ugly @Logiczombie shields from the fuselage, of course I entrust the task to Rolfz.

End.
