It had been a long night, Much had happened since the defeat at Luoyang, Grand tired from battle begins to change, Grand peeks out at the window seeing multiple fires blazing across town, "And so it begins" he whispers while rubbing his eyes. It had gotten late so Grand began to prepare for bed when he heard a loud thud outside the window, as he peered out he saw a black figure glancing at him with a wide grin hugging at the window. Grand opens the window and grabs the happy creature and throws him into the room. "What the hell do you want" Grand grumbles half awake, "The screaming was keeping me up…. I wanted your soft touch to comfort me throughout the night… Grand holds his head and realizes Zac wouldn't leave. "Alright you can stay" he says with a smile….
Soon Grand was sleeping soundly in bed while Zac rested on the floor, not content to let the man sleep, Zac pokes Grands face to wake him. "It's not fun if don't criticise me!" Grand obliges and slaps Zac, a loud moan erupts from Zac while Grand snores away. 30 minutes past when Zac whispers "Yo Grand you gonna put the moves on me?" and with a sudden reply "HELL NO, I don't role that way fam", "I CAN CROSSDRESS!" "Stop man I just wanna sleep!" The two had clearly been through so much together to a point when there banter was borderline madness.
A Loud thud interrupts the conversation and the two look out the window only to see Glowing red eyes staring at their souls. "Gulp" said Grand "What we gonna do man!" cried Zac, "SSSSHhh, stay quiet and pretend it's not there" Zac clutches onto Grand and hold onto his arm (despite being older). Then a long silence seeped into the air. HUGE footsteps ringed throughout the apartment complex. After silence creeped in once again it was clear the beast was outside the door, Grand and Zac tiptoe to the closet. The door opens and walks slowly to the closet, realizing they couldn't hide, Grand winked at Zac, A sign to distract the thing.
Zac rushes out the closet door and runs around the apartment floor, Grand grabs the notebook on the desk and uses a mirror to look behind the revolting creature."There!" a plate on it's back that read 6YU82, Grand writes down the number and quickly discovers the colony it belonged too, he knew Zac's pathetic stamina could only afford him a mere 14 seconds. He scanned the agile yet heavy beast and sees a horn hidden under the damp cloth, it was from the battle at Layang, it must have belonged to the Humm0s tribe. He quickly jots down the words"TacoBell" and soon a deafening screech slowly erodes from it's pie hole and signals it's death. Zac hobbles to Grand to compliment Grand yet he is cut off and Grand falls ankle first to the ground sleeping, he's not as mean as he seems Zac thought to himself as he carried him to bed.
