A's/N: Before you start reading, I want to apologize for the awkward beginning! To make it easier on your minds, imagine the entire Dawn of The Planet of the Apes movie playing normally, and then pause it right when Koba points the gun at Caesar. Yeah, that's how it basically starts. Again, sorry if that confuses anyone. As I said in the description, there are OC's in this story and a possible OC x Canon later. Don't like? Don't read.

Enjoy the first chapter!

Their eyes met. Koba raised the gun and aimed it at his target. Caesar's eyes widened in disbelief. Suddenly, a loud bang ripped through the air, and he flinched. The noise itself seemed to freeze the entire ape colony: all sounds felt distant and time moving slowly, except for the echo.

A gun had been fired...But it wasn't Koba who shot that bullet. The bonobo looked down at his gun. Where did that come from?

He got his answer when more gunshots rang out. They came in all directions as if the forest exploded with them. The apes began to panic, all of them running for cover or to find their mates and children. The fire Grey and Stone set on the ape's home added to the chaos. Some apes got burned, but most got shot. It was impossible to tell the wounded from the dead.

Malcolm and his group frantically grabbed any and all apes they could and helped them get to a safer place.

Suddenly, something heavy landed on top of Koba. Seconds later, he hit the ground. He got up, dizzy from the fall, and realized it was Caesar. Again, their eyes met. Only now, both were alarmed.

Caesar now knew what Koba was capable of. How deep his hatred was. But he also knew he didn't do this.

Koba wanted Caesar dead, and he wanted there to be a war. But now, faced with his own wish coming true, he didn't know what to do anymore.

Before either one could say anything, Caesar gave a roar of pain. Koba jumped back. A large hook had suddenly inserted itself into the fleshy part of Caesar's shoulder, digging deeply into his flesh. As quickly as it appeared, it dragged the Ape King into the bushes with a powerful yank. Caesar struggled, but couldn't escape the sharp hooks painful grip.

He was gone in seconds. Devoured by the bushes and the darkness. The only clue that he was alive was his yells.

A bullet flew dangerously close to Koba's ear, and instinct took over. He ran without thinking, without even considering going back to try and help Caesar. His mind was too occupied with survival to think of anything else.

"Koba!"

Koba followed Stone's call to a clearing in the forest where Maurice, Malcolm, and the other humans had gathered with the ape colony. Most were wounded and were bloody. He looked around at them, recognizing them.

Rocket, Maurice, Blue Eyes, Cornelia, little Cornelius, Grey, Stone, Tinker, Luca…Where was she? Where was his twin sister?

Then he heard it. Her scream. He felt cold and empty as he realized where she was. His body acted without him thinking as he turned in her direction. In that moment, nothing else mattered; all that mattered to Koba was getting to his sister.

"Dolly!" He felt like his throat was closing, it was as if he was in one of his nightmares.

"Koba, wait!" Blue Eyes chased after the bonobo. Yet even as he ran, the teenager knew he couldn't stop Koba from going after his sister.

Neither of them noticed that Malcolm was coming to the same realization as he checked his group. They all made it, except...

He looked at Ellie, hoping it wasn't what he feared. His mind pleading that his son was safe. Maybe wounded and hiding, but safe. "Where's Alexander?"

Suddenly, the sky came alive with military helicopters. There were only two of them, and they seemed old and unsteady. As if they hadn't flown in a while. But the noise and the fierce wind they made seemed to make them powerful. Dangling from both helicopters was a cage. The first was filled to the brim with humans and in the other….The apes could clearly see Caesar, and Dolly, Ash, Alexander, and a few other apes trapped inside.

Everyone froze, stunned and horrified by the sight. The helicopters captives were all screaming, most of the apes were looking down at their colony.

Koba saw Dolly up there. Then he saw Caesar. Even though they were so high up, Koba could feel his leader's glare and his twin's fear.

There was nothing he could do for either of them. In fact, no one could do anything.

The helicopters began to fly west, towards the ocean. Malcolm considered chasing after them. If they got into the trucks and sped after the helicopters, maybe they could follow them. But to his dismay, the flying machines were going so fast that they were miles away from them in a matter of seconds.

And then they were gone. Taking all their hostages with them.

The ape colony was a mess. Hotting and screaming at the sky, hoping to get a reply from their kidnapped friends and families. Maurice and Luca desperately tried to calm everyone down, but most apes didn't even look at them.

Blue Eyes felt arms grab him and hold him in a tight embrace. He realized it was his mother, who was shaking all over. Cornelius only looked around, possibly looking for their father.

Koba was the only one who stood very still. He hardly dared himself to breath. His gaze stayed locked on the now empty night sky. Dolly was gone. His sister...Gone...Taken away before he even had a chance to save her...The emptiness he felt stayed where it was as if he really was hollow with nothing in him.

"What the hell was that?" Foster asked. His wide eyes turning to the human group.

Ellie stared at the sky for a second longer, then shook her head. "I don't know."

"Do you guys think it was Dreyfus?" Kempt was eyeing the forest, wondering if there were any more dangers the trees and bushes kept hidden.

"Dreyfus couldn't have sent them." Ellie looked at the other humans, her hair falling in her face. "He wouldn't risk a human's life even if it meant getting rid of the apes."

"Then who was-"

"We need to get back to the city." Malcolm's voice was shaky as he spoke. The three other humans fell silent as he turned around to look at them. "Whoever that was, they've taken humans and apes, and we only know which apes they took and that they've taken Alex. We have to go back and find out who else was taken."

Malcolm was trying not to break, but the fear for his son was too strong. It took all his strength to stay rational.

Ellie glanced at the ape colony. Some were beginning to calm down, but most were still saddened and scared by the sudden ambush. "We can't leave them here." She said.

"We won't." Malcolm breathed slowly, trying to stay calm. "We're bringing them with us."

"You want to bring the apes into the city? Are you nuts?" Kempt couldn't contain his shock.

"They'll be safer there than they are here." Though Malcolm wondered just how safe the city actually was. If the human colony was ambushed like the apes just were, then it probably wasn't any different than the forest. But it seemed like a better idea to have them all there where he knew they won't be alone.

The other humans stayed silent for a moment. Then agreed with him. Ellie walked over to Maurice and touched his shoulder to get his attention. "Maurice, we're going back to the city and we want you and the apes to come with us. Will you?" She asked.

Maurice hesitated, some part of him still remembered the abuse he suffered from humans. But he knew Caesar would have agreed with this if he were here. He turned to the apes and hooted loudly, making the apes look at him.

"We must follow the humans to the city. Will help get Caesar and the others back. Must help humans too."

There were some objections. Surprisingly, most of the apes still didn't trust the humans. Even if some of their own were taken away by the same ones who took Caesar.

"If we don't go with humans, we may never see Caesar and the others again."

The apes went silent. Maurice's words weighing themselves in their minds. They knew he was right and despite their distrust of the humans, they found the possibility of losing Caesar forever to be more frightening than being with humans. They reluctantly agreed.

"We follow you." Maurice said to the humans.

"Koba." It was Grey's voice. Up until now, Koba had ignored everything else, but the sky. "We have to go with the humans."

Koba's face darkened. His hatred for humans now burning in his gut. "Humans took Dolly away. I'm not going anywhere with them!"

"We'll get Dolly back. But we need to be with the humans right now, it's not safe out here."

Koba glared at the chimpanzee. Now he wished the humans who ambushed them would come back so he could steal their guns and kill them all. His thirst for revenge was back, but this time it wasn't for all the suffering he and his sister endured. Now it was for Dolly's kidnapping. He wanted all the humans that were in those flying machines to pay for taking away the only relative he had.

"Please, Koba." Koba didn't realize Stone was there until nudged him. "We need to go."

The bonobo found himself staring at the two chimps. How did the night turn from plotting Caesar's death and starting a war with the humans, to humans inviting the apes to the human city after an ambush done by other humans? It was as if someone else had the same idea he had. Only they started it, before Koba could pull that trigger.

"Fine." He and the two chimps joined the apes as they followed Malcolm and the human group to the city. His mind beginning to think.

He Listed what he wanted in his mind.

Firstly, and most importantly, he wanted Dolly back. Not having his sister around made him feel lonely and unsafe. Even more so than he has in the last couple of days. Secondly, he wanted Caesar dead. Though he was sure the humans who captured him may kill him anyways, if Caesar came back alive, he'll get in the way. And finally, he wanted to kill the humans. No longer just the ones that ambushed them, but all humans. He wanted the entire race dead.

Koba knew what he wanted…Now he just needed a plan. Maybe going into the city wouldn't be so bad after all.

A's/N: Yes, I gave Koba a twin sister. For this story, I'm going to do something different and NOT explain/properly introduce my OC's right away. Instead, I'll let her character and her past be explained in the story. Why? because I have been told that I tend to explain my OC's and not let them develop on their own. (Come to think of it, I wonder if that's why people attack OC's and label them as 'Mary-Sue's/Gary-Sue's'. Because the OC's creator fails to let the OC develop. Although, OC/Mary-Sue haters do tend to rob the creator of that opportunity as well.)

As of right now, all you readers know is: Dolly is Koba's twin sister and she suffered at the hands of humans like he did. I'm going to let you guys figure out the rest as the story goes.

OC's and story are (c) Me

Thanks for reading and please review!
