It was March 30th, 1670. During a silent evening within the open lands of Africa, who were approaching a large village ahead. With me Anacaona walking alongside Metal Cowboy, the man who saved my life. Moving on my left side with me looking at him and curiously asking. Where are we going? He reply. Somewhere special. Where those bad men won’t hurt you anymore. I understand as we quickly saw the wooden gate open and saw these twelve Dahomey Amazons rush towards us while wielding many spears an other weapons. We quickly stopped as they all stood in front of us and one of them spoke. Metal Cowboy, is that you? Facing them he spoke. Yes Imani, who has come for your help. Growing curious along with her fellow female warriors she asked him. What do you want from us? He told her with me standing there quietly an listening. This young girl Anacaona has lost her entire tribe and needs a new home. They were surprise by what he said. As Imani kept facing us and spoke. We can’t make that decision. For only our king came decide if she stays or leaves. Metal Cowboy reply. I know. Which is why I must speak with him right away. The women understand as they allowed us into their village. Where I had a long chat with their leader. While I was force to stay outside with the female warriors that kind of scared me. But tried my best to brave. Who didn’t say anything as I soon saw him return and spoke. Listen, this is going to be your new home. Where they’ll take good care of you. An make sure your safe. This was surprising news for me.

With me replying. I’ve been doing lot’s of training this morning. But also having the bad dreams again. Imani felt bad for me and spoke. What happen to your tribe was horrible. But you have a new home an family. This made me feel a little better as she spoke. Come, the shaman wishes to speak with you. Unsure of what he could want.

Shock by what he just said. My mother Imani spoke to him. “What is this evil you speak? He told her. I don’t know. But....the one who leads them. Is the one who had your tribe destroyed. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. With my mother feeling the same way. As I spoke. Why me?! The shaman replied. They believe you have the strength and courage to face this foe. For you alone must fight them. This was a lot of take in. As it was later our ruler 37 year old King Diallo. Who was bald, with green color eyes and stood at 5′6. As he spoke to me inside the throne room. While sitting on his wooden throne with four Dahomey Amazons standing close by. After hearing what the shaman had to say. I’ve decided that you must go find these men and stop them. I understood his decision as my fellow Amazon warriors stood outside the village. Listening to Shaman Akpan speak while standing beside my mother Imani. The spirits will help and given you the name Stone Jaguar. Use this when fighting your enemy. For it shall strike fear in them an earn you respect as well. Everyone watch as I walked away and began my great journey.

Stone Jaguar/The French

I’ve been travelling for five days, while running a great distance. Who was heading towards some trees for rest an shade. When I heard a loud noise. BANG! That’s when I stopped and could see some French soldiers nearby, who had captured four innocent villagers. All of whom seem to be young men in their early 30′s. One of them dress in this strange dark blue clothing, carrying four knives, two swords and one flintlock Pistol. With half of his face covered by this large piece of cloth the same color as his clothing. Who also had this dark brown mustache an stood at 5′7. That seem to be in their 20′s. Who was listening to him speaking from the distance. Hiding hiding in some tall grass growing close by. “Well done men”. These prisoners shall make fine slaves. The men with him seem happy. While I was anger by what they were doing and ready my wooden bow. Before grabbing out an arrow from my quiver and fired it at one of his men. Hitting them within the left arm. The man screamed in pain. Ah....! Before they all saw me and their leader shout. Shoot her! His men began firing their Flintlock Rifles. With me dodging and firing more arrows. Wounding more of his men. Before their mustache leader called out. I don’t know who you are! But I challenge you to a duel. Who watch him draw out his long blade of a sword and start heading towards me by himself. Who drew out my own sword, as he suddenly split into five copies. I was shock by this as he quickly swung his many blades at me, all at once. Only to get an unexpected surprise. When my flesh suddenly turn into solid stone.

He couldn’t believe his eyes. As I quickly fought back, slashing three of them with my sword and also hitting them with my fist. Causing them a good deal of pain before they vanish. He quickly grew made and fired his Flintlock Pistol. Only to see me quickly use one of his copies as a human shield. Who took the blow and cried out. Ah....! Who vanish as I took out the last copy. Before seeing him back up and speak. Who are you?! He heard me speak. I am Stone Jaguar, last of the Aztec Empire. He stood there with his wounded men and spoke. Mock my words Stone Jaguar. This won’t be the last you see of Denis Dupont. Who saw them flee for their lives as I freed their slaves and listen to one of the men speak. Thank you. I was happy to hear this. As I walked with them back to their village. So they wouldn’t be ambushed by anymore French Soldiers.

Stone Jaguar/Laughing Beast

I stood there within the Lion Paw Tribe village. Where their 43 year old tribal leader wearing part of a lion’s hide on him spoke to me. Thank you Dahomey warrior for saving four of my people. I reply. It’s the least I could do. He was happy when one of his warriors wielding a spear rushed over with a concern expression and spoke. The beasts have been spotted again. He knew this was bad as their leader quickly spoke. Ready all the warriors for battle. The man understood an rushed off within a hurry. With me still facing their leader I asked him. What’s happening?! He spoke. Ten Were-Hyena’s were just spotted heading towards our village. I knew this was bad. For they were people capable of changing into these large hyena creatures that were known to attack villages, kidnap women and fierce fighters as well. As I could see the strange large beasts standing at 5′9 start charging towards the village at great speed. With me quickly speaking. Please, allow me to help. An fight alongside you. Against these terrible creatures. Their leader thought hard about it before agreeing to this. As I stood alongside his warriors and ready my blade. As the Were-Hyena’s began getting closer an closer before quickly attacking. Who started dodging and slashing each one. Who spotted one of them attacking me from behind with it’s claws. I quickly turn my skin into stone before punching it’s chest. Knocking the beast backwards. As I kept fighting them off. Until the last two fled from here. With many warriors looking at me with surprise expressions. Who had a lot of explaining to do.

After explaining what the warriors saw. Their leader faced me and spoke. The warrior spirits have gifted you a great power. Who ask if you could help with one more thing. If you so choose to do so. Curious I asked. What do you need? He told me. West of our village, there is a cave. For inside is an ancient relic. One that holds great mystical power. Bring this back to me and our village will let you keep it. Understanding this I spoke. I’ll return before dawn. Who watch me rush off on foot. For it was much later I arrived at my destination and could see many animal bones scattered outside, including the bones of an elephant. Who slowly began approaching the entry way. Until hearing this loud roar before seeing a terrifying monster. Stepping outside of it’s lair was a strange monster with the body of a lion, wings of a bat and head of a serpent. Who had never scene such a creature before, but wasn’t going to run away from this fight.

It began hissing at me while revealing their long sharp fangs. Who kept facing the thing an began speaking. I don’t know what you are. But won’t stand in my way. The evil creature quickly began attacking with it’s claws. With me dodging and turning skin into stone before being sprayed by a green venom. Who quickly used my sword and sliced it’s head clean off. Slaying the evil creature and allowing me to go inside. For it was later on that I returned to the village. Where their leader looked at me as I spoke. While holding a stone amulet with a smaller blue stone within the enter of it. I’ve brought you the relic. He closely looked at it and spoke. You’ve done well Stone Jaguar. For that, we give this relic to you. I smiled at him and spoke. Thank you for this gift. For I shall take great care of it. They were glad to hear this.

Stone Jaguar/Bones of the Past

I had travelled far for days and was at a flowing river, gathering some drinking water. Knowing I’ve still got a long ways before reaching my destination. When I spotted what looked to be a lonely man approaching the huge bones of a fallen elephant. Who knew it was a dangerous idea, for they didn’t like it when people got close to their dead. Causing me to rush over while speaking. Don’t go near them. The man stopped and looked at me, who then spoke. Who are you? I spoke. My name is Stone Jaguar. Who already knows if you touch those bones. You’ll anger the elephants. He understood an reply. I’m afraid of nothing. Who also won’t allow some women to stand in my way. As he quickly began attacking me with his bare fists. With me quickly fighting back against the unknown man. With me still fighting while asking. Why do you want these bones? He spoke. To steal their power. I didn’t know what he was talking about as he managed to knock me back before moving towards the bones. That he quickly touched and began to watch. As they began to crumble apart and soon turned into dust. Who was surprise by this as he faced me and spoke. For trying to stop me. You’ll suffer the wrath of Bone Hand.

Stone Jaguar/Beware my Strength

Standing a short distance from him. Time Taker began walking towards me with both his fists ready as we began fighting again. With me dodging a few of his punches before swinging my own. Who’s right hand hit his face, yet he didn’t seem hurt at all. As he quickly grabbed my arm and threw me across the air. Sending me flying into the nearby river where I made a big splash. With me heading over here while speaking. Although your tough. None have been able to stop me this far. I quickly pulled myself out of the stream an reply. Well today that changes. As he watch my skin suddenly turn into stone before attacking him. Punching the man left and right many times. Who started going backwards as I soon knocked him onto the ground. With me now asking him. Ready to give up? He reply with an angry voice. Not a chance, amazon. As he quickly got up and stomp his foot onto the ground. Causing the surrounding area to begin shaking before he charged forward and manage to knock me down. Before he lifted me up and then threw me again. Sending me flying far away from the river and crashing hard onto the ground. Where I rolled for a short bit before stopping. With me looking towards my left side and could see him taking off. With no idea where he got this strange power. But knew he was going to create serious trouble. Unless I could somehow stop him. As I slowly got up and began chasing after him.

Stone Jaguar/Village Mayhem

Following from a distance Bone Hand lead me down towards a village. Where he standing within the center, facing what seem to be the 45 year old village leader. Who had grey hair, stood at 5′7 and had dark blue color eyes. Who was currently speaking with an angry expression. “Mpho, it’s been a long time”. “Since you were banished”. Bone Hand answered his question. That doesn’t matter. For I’ve come to take my place as the village leader”. Their leader respond. You shall not have that honor. For it goes to my son Omar. Bone Hand replied in anger. No! It belongs to me. Who watch as he quickly took down the village warriors. Like they were nothing but children. With me hurrying into the village. Who then faced him and spoke. Stop Bone Hand. It was then that he quickly turned his attention towards me in anger and spoke. You again. Before suddenly growing into the size of a fully grown elephant. I was shock by this as he tried to stomp me with his right foot. With me dodging right before using my powers. To turn myself into a jaguar. That leaped onto one of the nearby straw roof before leaping towards his face. Scratching the right side of his face. That caused him to scream. Ah....! Before landing on the ground and then change back into normal form. Knowing this fight was far from over.

Stone Jaguar/Great Fall

Dodging Bone Hands huge fists, that he was swinging at me. While also shaking the ground an villagers watching from close by. I kept attacking him with fast punches. Smacking his face after running up his right arm. Causing him to move backwards while growing angry. Who spoke in anger. Stand still coward. I ignored his insult an kept going. Beating him up as he quickly shrunk back to normal size. Who then grabbed a nearby spear before attacking again. With me turning my skin into stone. Preventing his weapon from harming me. Who managed to disarm him before going fist to fist against him. Who trade a couple of blows while also dodging until he was finally brought down. Who laid there knocked out cold. With everyone seeing this an slowly stepping out into the open. I noticed this as their leader approach me and spoke. “Thank you strange warrior for saving our lives. Though we don’t know your name. I spoke. My name is Stone Jaguar. Who is grateful to help. Happy to hear this there leader gave his orders. Tie up Mpho and have him send to the Lions Field. Where he shall face his severe punishment. The warriors did what he said. As I stood there and spoke. Although I like to stay. I’ve got to keep following my path of justice.
