I like the fanmade contributions being added so keep up the good work! Meanwhile, I have another idea here and it includes a lot of Wesen. Enjoy!

The Pursuit of the Ancient Beasts

Tonio Marcia was a Kasipepo. He lived in Chicago, Illinois and was only twenty years of age. Tonio lived with his aunt and uncle, his parents were dead, killed by individuals who spent their whole life searching for them. His parents and grandparents, also dead, were not very good people, they were involved heavily with gangs, mobsters, and mafias. Tonio believed that the ordeal was over now that they were dead, but little did he know that he was being hunted down himself.

Tonio was walking alone to a shady part of the ghetto to meet up with some friends. They were already partying at The Beast, Chicago's biggest, but not only, Wesen club. The club was solely for Wesen and if a human ever stepped foot in it, they would not remember it the next day. The place was a sprawling complex, mainly underground, and had a lot of controversey surrounding it. The Beast was considered a place for Wesen scum, so Tonio was a little apprehensive about entering. When he arrived at the large, partially dilapidated building with one small neon sign bearing it name, his nervous fear grew. A few rowdy teenagers were entering and the thumping music could be heard from the street; a group of Wutende Taube were loitering on the sidewalk and some were sitting on the roof. One of them hassled Tonio for some money for a beer, he refused. The bouncer was a bulky Nilpferd who woged, making Tonio do the same. He revealed his furry identity and the bouncer asked, "You over 18?"

"Yeah, I'm twenty."

"Good enough for me, haha!"

Tonio entered and was blinded by strobe lights and deafened by music and crowds. Yet he still heard a creaky voice behind him say, "Can I ssseee your identificationnnn?" He turned around and was startled to see a man with way too many eyes. The man had a layer of short, bristly hairs on his body and a small pair of spider-like fangs in his mouth and a pair of pedipalps on his lower jaw. The most striking part of his appearance was his two large, black, glossy eyes surrounded by six smaller eyes. Tonio did not know that the man was a Springspinnen, but he did know that he should not give him his ID. He got away from the man as quickly as possible.

Tonio was stunned by the amount and diversity of Wesen he saw. As a Wesen, you usually have a general knowledge of at least a few species other than your own, usually species that you grew up around. And you also hear stories about rare and significant Wesen that you will probably never see, like the Cracher-Mortel. However, Tonio could not believe the creatures he saw in the main room of that club, most of which he could not identify. In a corner, two guys who looked like bulldogs (Stier-Rude) sat and somehow played cards amid the confusion. At the bar, a Sumpfbeissen and a Skalenzahne were involved in a pushing match that ended with a broken arm. He saw numerous individuals with horns, scales, and spikes of all shapes and sizes. A Latin fellow with a gigantic beak (Pico Vibrante) and a woman who looked like a tropical fish Tonio saw at the aquarium one time (Doktorfische). A man who can only be described as a "bro" woged into something that looked like a gecko (Klebrigen Fuss), proceeded to climb the vertical, smooth wall and chugged a beer while clinging to the ceiling. All the while, Tonio lithely snaked his way through the crowd in search of his friends. He passed by the entrance to a corridor that led off of the main party room and into the shady complex. Towards the end of the corridor were some Skalengecks getting high off of who-knows-what and towards the front was a burly man scanning the crowd, then he saw Tonio. The man pulled out the photograph his boss had given him and it was identical, he had found him! The text sent by way of his friend's stolen phone had lured Tonio to the club! The man fell into the crowd and followed him.

Tonio got the sense that someone was following him. When he looked over his shoulder, he saw a large man with an aggressive demeanor staring straight at him. Tonio woged, but before he could move any faster, he felt a hard blow to his head and was out cold.

Tonio woke up in a dark room with a tall lamp in one corner. He was tied to a wooden chair. The only other person in the room was the man who attacked Tonio at the club. Tonio was the first to speak, he asked, "Who are you?"

The man replied, "The name's Clive Parraco. I'm a member of the Rulers gang and mafia. The only reason I'm telling you this is because you'll be dead soon."

Tonio, in turn, responded, "Rulers? Like for measuring?" he wanted to lighten the mood a bit, Kasipepos are known for not thinking things through. "And what makes you think I'll be dead soon?"

"Not rulers for measuring, you moron! Rulers, because at one point we practically ruled Chicago. To answer your other question, I know that you will be dead soon because we are going to kill you, simple as that!"

"We? You and who else? And why are you going to kill me?"

"My boss and I will kill you on behalf of all the Rulers because of the wrongs committed by your family. You are simply a consolation prize, since we never got to kill your parents, someone else got to it first. We don't care that you have never wronged us, we must simply exterminate the bloodline. And you cannot fight us, for we are much stronger than you."

With those words, Clive woged. His skin became scaly and hard with hues of green and blue. His mouth formed a beak that snapped shut with an audible crack. His eyes became angry and reptilian and a curved horn formed on his flattened nose. Two additional, longer horns with sharp tips curved from above his eyes. The sides and top of his head flared out into a large frill. His hands became thick, hoof-like weapons.

Tonio foolishly inquired, "So you're a... Triceratops-man? Weird."

"How stupid can you be? I'm here telling you that we're going to kill you, and you make a comment like that. I am a Três Chifres and as a fellow Wesen, you have no right to call anyone "weird". You are a twenty-year-old anthropomorphic cheetah, haven't you figured out that the world is a little strange? Now, I'm leaving to get my boss so we can get this over with, no games, you hear me boy?"

Clive left the room and when Tonio could tell that he was far away, he woged and used the claws on his hands to cut the cut the rope. He stood up, his head aching and reeling, and made his way to the door, finding it unlocked. He opened the door, saw no one in the hallway and began to run as fast as his heightened Wesen speed would allow, which was pretty fast, nearly 60mph. Then, an alarm went off and he was immediately pursued two male Wesen who looke small and frail, but Tonio knew they must be dangerous. They looked to him like the pictures of Velociraptors he had seen in books, with both scales and feathers covering their bodies and reptilian snouts full of needle fangs. Suddenly, upon coming up to a turn, Tonio realized that he was in the underground complex beneath The Beast, he could hear the music. Two more raptor-men appeared from around the corner and slashed at Tonio as they approached. Then, the two behind him jumped at him and tackled him to the floor, ripping his flesh with claws that were raised on their feet. He was dragged back to the room he awoke in.

After fifteen minutes of being guarded by the raptor-men, Clive returned with another large man, his boss. The boss had a big, powerful physique, but Tonio felt that something was off about his proportions, like his arms were smaller than they should be.

"Let's get this over with, I have no desire to become acquainted with you, scum of a boy", said the boss in a deep, booming voice. He came over to Tonio and woged to intimidate him. His head became large and snouted. Dark red scales formed all over his body and his head had numerous bumps and ridges as well as healed scars criss-crossing his face. His mouth had long, serrated fangs and his eyes were snake-like. His torso and legs were very muscular, but his arms got weaker and smaller and his hands became only two claws each.

The other men in the room all woged also and led Tonio a ways down the hall to a small door. When opened, the door revealed a dank chamber with human bones in one corner and some huddled individuals in the other. The huddled individuals turned to the door, winced from the light, and woged, revealing grotesque, pushed-in faces covered in bony scales and full of dangerous fangs. They had webbed appendages and fish-like eyes and they looked hungry. The boss pushed Tonio into the chamber and yelled, "Feeding time, boys!"

Within minutes the screams subsided and the door was opened to reveal the clean skeleton of Tonio Marcia.
