Soldier of the Ruins

Chapter One

Author's note

This is my first story :D Anyway, I'm pretty new at this so some characters may be out of character. That, and Flippy will not flip out initially because this is set after his therapy classes and is partly explained throughout the story. Also the first 5 chapters are both badly written (at least, I think they are) and slow, but it starts to pick up around chapter 6. That last sentence was an update I made, in case you couldn't tell.

Also this contains blood, gore, strong language and violence. So unless you can watch Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers without, literally, puking, I would advise you don't read this.

Enjoy

A lone figure sat high in the branches of a large oak tree. The figure wore a green ghille suit and held a rifle in its hands. 90 feet away, the figure's intended victim stood almost perfectly still, unaware of the potential danger. The figure pulled the trigger. A 7.62 millimeter bullet flew from the barrel of the gun, only to have the flash and sound contain by a suppressor. The bullet sped towards the target and penetrated through the victim's neck, killing it instantly. The figure in the tree dropped down from branch to branch, until the killer hit the forest floor. Flippy pulled back the hood of his ghille suit and approached deer he had slain. Flippy easily saw that the deer was dead, so he picked it up and began the long walk back to town.

Flippy pushed open the door to the butcher shop. "Got another buck for you Lumpy" Flippy said to the blue moose behind the counter. Lumpy glanced up at the green bear from the book he was reading, titled "Butchery for assholes". "Okay" Lumpy responded, having no idea why Flippy was in his shop, or why he was even a butcher. Flippy took the deer into the back freezer, and pulled out his bowie knife. Flippy slid the knife through the deer's lower chest, then reached inside and began to remove organs and other areas that Lumpy would be hard pressed to sell. Flippy hummed to himself as he skinned the deer. Usually, something like this would have brought Evil out, but for some reason Evil never did. Only when Flippy was sleeping could he even find Evil, but he always ran from him. Not that Flippy minded. With Evil gone, Flippy could finally do things he had been unable to do before, like what he was doing now.

As Flippy skinned the deer, he began to hear a buzzing noise but thought nothing of it. In the main room of the butcher shop, Lumpy began to hear the buzzing as well. As the day progressed, the buzzing gradually became louder.

Hmmm… not much of the stuff at the top in this chapter. Don't worry, it will come into the story.

Although I'm not sure how I can explain Flippy hunting deer when Mime is one. Oh well.
