Mindless Beasts

"Poko, you nitwit! You don't deserve to have a spirit bone. Get your ugly spirit beast under control right this instant!" Hearing his old instructor's voice Poko wanted to plead for mercy, he took his eyes off of his crazed hippo for a minute. "I can’t! It won't listen to me!" cried Poko in alarm. Now that the neutral students ran away in fear the mad hippo slowed down, then spun around its eyes filled with rage. It wanted to grow. It wanted more spirit essence and the hippo sensed someone with massive amounts of spirit energy at the edge of the field. The hippo's crazed eyes scanned the area until it spotted Sly then it charged in his direction. Sly sensed that something was wrong despite the hysteria from the spectators and the maddening crowd. Then suddenly he was knocked out of the way by Old Man Biggs who was wrestling with the hippo, "Pay attention boy... move it... you're in no condition to take a hit." Shoved out of the way Sly tripped over his own feet, hitting the ground hard. Despite his old age the trainer still forcefully shoved Sly with all his strength. Old Man Biggs managed to drag the hippo away from Sly but it wasn't very far the hippo kept turning his head to keep its target, namely Sly in sight. Then he watched in a daze as the hippo kicked Old Man Biggs out of the way, its horrible red pupils dilated then fixed on Sly, the hair on its back was stiff and raised in an aggressive posture. Despite its huge size it was light on its feet, now that he sent the trainer to the moon it turned its fierce gaze back to the trembling Sly.
