AN: I somehow found enough time in the week to write the second chapter. Also, thanks to the people who are reading my fan fiction.
The writing has changed, only slightly though. I hope I don't change it much and that it's pleasant for you to read.
OCs will appear in the story, but they aren't going to be from Pandora and they'll just be there to push the story forward or be cannon fodder, you'll see in this chapter.
Krieg's brain was working at full capacity, but was failing to understand what that meant. "No, no, no, no. No. No. No! No!" Krieg started to shout in disbelief and punched a nearby tree, leaving a fist-sized dent in it. Why aren't we on Pandora anymore? What's going to happen to Pandora? Why were we sent here? We have to find a way back. Inner Krieg asked and commanded as he tried to piece together the new place that surrounded him that wasn't even related to Pandora. All Insane Krieg got was that he wasn't on Pandora anymore. Both the Kriegs couldn't wrap their heads around them being on a different plant. "HEAD IS HURTING!" Krieg howled into the sky as he grabbed the sides of his head as if he was trying to keep it from creaking open.
"Calm down." Yatsuhashi said as the soft hum of a buzzard engine could be heard coming from somewhere behind the tents. Before Krieg could shout again, what looked to be a larger, better-built, and wider-winged buzzard appeared from the direction of the engine hum. The buzzard hovered several yards above the tree tops.
The buzzard's side doors slide wide open to show half-a-dozen people with masks like the black creatures that covered most of the face while leaving the mouth open and each had a sword or a rifle. They also had ears or a tail or at least the feature of a normal animal. It looked like that two of the six were girls. They all wore a black long-sleeve undershirt, a gray vest, and black pants. "We have some humans," one of them chuckled as they all gained a smile across their faces.
Insane Krieg was too confused to follow a thing and Sane Krieg didn't understand anything, so Krieg did the only thing he knew what to do when everything didn't make sense: destroy someone or something. "Shut up!" Krieg yelled as he threw his buzz axe at the aircraft, making it embed itself into the side of the ship.
All the masked people recoiled back from the buzz axe and didn't notice that Krieg started to climb a tree.
"What are you doing?" Qrow called out when he saw that Krieg was already halfway up the tree.
"I must fetch my meat shank!" Krieg replied without looking at him. I hope we don't die cause of your stupidity. Inner Krieg had calmed down and tired his best to piece the situation he found himself in together. When he saw that he/Krieg had reached the top of the tree, he already knew what was going to happen. Krieg propelled himself at the ship and clenched the bottom lip of the open ship door.
"What the heck?" A masked girl screamed as the ship turned from the sudden added weight and momentum caused by Krieg. After the ship stopped wobbling, one of the guys looked over the edge and spotted Krieg's large body hanging on to the bottom lip of the door frame. "How did he get up here?" The same guy asked. "I don't know, kick him off." The girl said as she started to stomp on Krieg's fingers, this plan quickly backfired as Krieg grabbed her foot with one arm and threw her out of the ship.
Krieg pulled himself up and all the masked people took a step back from him. They all raised their weapons and pointed them at him. Krieg made a quick look down to see Qrow had caught the falling masked girl. Krieg looked for his buzz axe, which he found on the side of the ship. Krieg leaned over to his buzz axe and gave it several tugs to get it out. He gave a quick look over of the enemies that filled the ship and smiled from under his mask.
Don't kill them. Inner Krieg said. "What? Whyyyy?" Krieg growled at his inner voice. I said so. Inner Krieg simply answered. Krieg shook his head, "Leave me, inside voice!" Hey, the moment your axe touches the flesh of anyone in this world that I don't say you can kill, I'll end it. So listen to me. Inner Krieg ordered. Krieg shook his head more violently, "You can't control meat master, only meat master can control meat master!" Listen! To! Me! This isn't Pandora, that man,Qrow, said that this is Remnant. We may have have been able to kill almost anyone on Pandora without a second thought, but we're not on Pandora anymore. We're on Remnant, a place we know nothing about. So we can't kill anyone until we know more. OK? Inner Krieg shouted at Krieg inside his head. Krieg started to rub the side of his head. "Urg, fine." Krieg agreed through clenched teeth. Krieg knew that his 'inside voice' was right. Krieg may be insane, but he's not stupid.
"Hey, no talking to yourself," a rifle guy said. "What do we do?" A swords-woman asked. "Kill h-." Before a third guy could finish his sentence, he was punched in the gut by Krieg. Krieg withdrew his fist, allowing the man to fall to the ground with a thud and become unconscious. The four still-standing people all went into fighting poses, while Krieg attached his buzz axe to a belt loop.
The swords-woman swung at Krieg with sword that looked a lot like Zero's katana, except it didn't have a blue glow on it, and simply ducked under the attack. The rifle guy that spoke before, stood on the other side of the ship and started to take aim. Krieg rushed under his gun and took hold of the back of the man's shirt collar, before he could fire a shot. Krieg catapulted the man at the woman, making them both fly out the ship.
You better hope you didn't kill them. Inner Krieg watched the pair exit his sight. "They'll can't die until I tell them they can!" Inner Krieg took that as a 'they're fine'.
"Land the ship! We have trouble!" One of the two remaining men knocked on the door to, what Inner Krieg presumed was, the cockpit of ship. Krieg grabbed the man's head and rammed his face into the door, making sure to let go of his face before it connected. The man's mask shattered into pieces as he forcefully bounced off the door and slammed against the floor. Krieg stood over the man who rolled around slightly before completely stopping.
Krieg was about to run through the cockpit door and start shouting about poop trains, when he felt the ship start its descent almost immediately towards a clearing that Inner Krieg noticed from the corner of his eye.
Krieg heard a little whimper from the side opposite of the cockpit door. His attention shifted from the door to the whimper that came from man that held a pistol pointed at him. The man started to tremble uncontrollably when he saw Krieg look at him. Krieg took several steps forward and the man tripped over himself as he tried to retreat. The man crawled back until he met the wall and was trapped. He raised his pistol at Krieg, who wasn't even fazed by the weapon and only kept walking at him. The man fired the contents of the pistol into Krieg.
Don't just stand there and take the bullets. Inner Krieg said as the man unload the bullets into him. The man fired twelve rounds at Krieg before all that came out was the sound of a gun unable to find a bullet in its magazine. All the shots were blocked by Krieg's shield, which had reached about 89%. He ran out of ammo. Inner Krieg also noted how much of the shield that was left, but didn't think about it much.
The man looked at Krieg in disbelief as he had been shot and barely flinched. Krieg took a few more steps and was towering over the man.
"H-how are y-you still stand-standing?" The man looked like he was about to cry and his voice was wobbling.
Krieg bent forward and whisper/yelled to the man, "I am your nightmare, you better start sleeping!" The man froze and fainted.
Did you really have to say that? Krieg leaned upward and looked out the ship. The ship was closing into the ground at a rapid speed. "He asked a question." Krieg answered as the ship landed and the engine cut off.
The cockpit door swung open and a man walked through. The man was a little shorter than Krieg, wore a mask that had parallels to the ones of the other masked people, dark brown hair, dark brown wolf ears on the top of his head, an outfit like the masked people, and held a broad sword that had different colored lines going from the hilt to the top of the blade.
The mask was gray, but it also had big differences compared to the other masks. It covered the whole face, had two round holes for the eyes that were surrounded by red paint that drooped down at points to the mouth area, making them look like fangs that went from cheek to cheek.
[Bad Wolf
-And his Sword of Colors.]
Those words appeared in front of the man before disappearing. Inner Krieg was going to have to look at Claptrap's naming system at one point, but not now.
"I'm going to blow your house down!" Krieg yelled at 'Bad Wolf' and gripped his buzz axe tighter.
"Very funny," Bad Wolf said as he slapped the hand guard of his broad sword. The sword's blade was consumed with a green smoke. Once the smoke subsided, the blade let out the sounds of rushing air and a faint green surrounded it. He gripped his sword and smiled at Krieg, "I always wanted to make a human steak." He ran at Krieg and swung at him from the side.
Krieg sidestepped just out of the range of the swing, but his shield still took damage. How? Inner Krieg was dumbfounded, no sword should be able to do that. "Hacks!" Krieg shouted as he pointed at Bad Wolf, seeing that the attack clearly missed him. Krieg's shield took about 8% of damage.
"Are you an idiot? Do you not know what happened" Bad Wolf said as he stepped out of the ship on the side Krieg stood on. Bad Wolf, seeing that he got no answer from Krieg, continued, "You must be a retard, it's Dust." He took out a crystal like the ones Krieg has, but this one was green instead of red. "The thing that's used to power almost everything."
So the crystals are called Dust and is a form of power on this planet. Hmm... Almost like Eridium. That's interesting. Inner Krieg thought while Krieg said, "That's not dust, you can't snort it!"
Bad Wolf face-palmed at Krieg's response, but then started to let out a little laugh. "Haha. Why am I telling you this, you're about to die anyway." Bad Wolf put his green crystal away and attacked Krieg with an overhead attack. Krieg blocked it with buzz axe, but his shield was taking a steady amount of damage from the rushing air that surrounded Bad Wolf's sword. "My sword isn't hurting you, so you must have an Aura. But why don't you know what Dust is?" Bad Wolf began to question Krieg intelligence.
He's clearing talking about our shield, but why did he call it an 'Aura'? That must be what they call shields here or maybe it's like those crystals and it's special only to this planet. Inner Krieg would have to think about it later, for he saw that his/Krieg's shield had hit 62% and was decreasing.
"Shut up!" Krieg roared at either Bad Wolf or his inside voice or maybe both. Krieg delivered a kick to Bad Wolf's stomach and backed away a few feet. Krieg's kick was blocked by a what looked like a gray see-through shield, though Bad Wolf still took several steps back from the force of the kick.
"You aren't the only one with an Aura, I also have one," he said as he stood upright and the gray shield disappeared. "That kick was pretty strong, though it wasn't strong enough." He slapped the hand guard of his sword again, but this time yellow smoke consumed the blade instead of green. The smoke was blown away by a large gust of wind. The popping sound of electricity and a soft yellow radiated from the blade.
Now it's shock? How did it change elements? Both Kriegs looked confused at the shock sword.
"Are you surprised again? That's very 'shocking' to me." Bad Wolf punned as he saw the confused look on Krieg.
Krieg ran at Bad Wolf and struck towards his throat. Don't just attack him. Inner Krieg tried to warning Insane Krieg, but was too late. Bad Wolf dodged the attack and he quickly regained his footing. He aimed for Krieg's head, but his sword hit Krieg's shield. His shield was depleted, thanks to the shock damage, and made a small explosion appear from Krieg. Krieg was hunched over and looking at the ground. He's faster than I thought he would be. He's not like a normal enemy, he can dodge pretty fast. We can't attack randomly, we have to think about our attacks properly. Inner Krieg started to think of a way to end the skirmish.
Bad Wolf stood behind Krieg and sighed loudly, "Come on, let's stop this dancing and finish this up." Krieg started to raise up. "Wow, you're still up and kicking, let me end that for you." Bad Wolf gripped the handle of his broad sword.
"You asked for it... I can't hold him back any longer...!" Inner Krieg's voice was whispered just loud enough for Bad Wolf to hear it and Krieg turned around slowly to face him, while his head stayed looking at the ground. Krieg's head suddenly shot up and stared into Bad Wolf's eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Bad Wolf asked as Krieg took a step towards him while keeping eye contact. "I'm going to cook you until you're only ash." Bad Wolf said as he wondered what Krieg's plan was or if he even had one. He smacked the hand guard of his sword and once more the blade was engulfed in a different color, this time red. The crackling of a fire and a dim red appeared from the blade.
Fire. Perfect. Inner Krieg guessed that the element fire was going to appear on Bad Wolf's 'Sword of Colors' and it looked like he was right.
Krieg darted at Bad Dog with his buzz axe in hand. "I know what I have become..." Krieg's eyes flashed with insanity like a light bulb in the darkness. "I am the inside of this world..." Krieg slashed at Bad Wolf and missed. "I taste the gore, and I smell the crying..." Before Bad Wolf could counter, Krieg brought his buzz axe back and it passed near Bad Wolf's head.
"Shut the fuck up!" Bad Wolf screamed, lifting his sword upward, cutting Krieg's chest and lighting him on fire. Krieg's whole body was set on fire and began burning, but his eyes looked like they were burning even brighter than the flame with excitement. Bad Wolf smiled for a moment before he became scared, he noticed Krieg's eyes were glowing with joy instead of pain. "What the-!" Bad Wolf started before Krieg interrupted him.
"AND I WANT MORE!" Krieg swung at Bad Wolf, but only got his vest. Krieg began to throw a volley of attacks at Bad Wolf, who was barely keeping out of the attack range of Krieg's buzz axe.
What would be a fitting saying right now, oh I know. Like Zero has said before, 'You just set off my trap card'. Inner Krieg wasn't going to let the man die, he was going to step in before that happened. But this was his plan, scare the man and attack him while his weak. Inner Krieg is for sure he has used this tactic before he went insane. I never really liked it, but sometimes you have to play dirty.
Bad Wolf was breathing heavily and became slower. "I want to bathe in your flesh, I want to savor your fear." Krieg said as his buzz axe rammed Bad Wolf's side. Wait! Inner Krieg was too late to stop Krieg.
Bad Wolf's aura took the blow and he was thrown to the ground. His broad sword fell just out of reach of him and its blade was snuffed out.
He better not be dead. Krieg watched Bad Wolf let out several pain-filled breaths. He's not bleeding or on fire and he's still breathing. You better hope he stays that way.
"Holy Shit! Shit, shit, shit!" Bad Wolf squirmed in pain from the force of Krieg's attack on his gut and felt his aura plummet in a faction of seconds. Bad Wolf rolled onto his back and looked up at Krieg, who's only visible eye was empty of all mercy. The fire on Krieg's body extinguished itself, before he stood over Bad Wolf and crouched down. "Wait, don't kill me. Don't, don-." Bad Wolf pleaded, but was quickly muffled by Krieg.
"I wanna live inside a castle built of your agony, AND I WANT TO CRUMBLE IT WITH AN AXE TO YOUR CAROTID ARTERY!" Krieg put his hand around Bad Wolf's mask and ripped the mask off. Krieg raised as he examined the mask and looked pleased. "You shall be called 'GRIMM DARKNESS'." Krieg put 'his' new mask into his inventory. I'm not even going to question why you took his mask. "I wanted it." Krieg turned around away from Bad Wolf.
Krieg was about to walk away, when he felt his ankle was stabbed by a thin point. He looked down and found a hand holding a syringe full of what looked to be a multicolored powder. He followed the hand back to Bad Wolf, who's uncovered face looked average to say the least. "Don't turn your back on an enemy, bitch!" Bad Wolf coughed as he pushed on the top on the syringe and injected Krieg with the powder.
Krieg was super disappointed and expected a bit more than just a syringe. Inner Krieg sighed. You could have prevented this, just kick him or something. Krieg pulled his foot back and got ready to kick Bad Wolf's face, but he quickly lost his balance. Krieg's vision became blurred and blended together. He poisoned us? Even normal bandits never went as low as poisoning someone. "The colors are coming together and are striking their revenge on my eyes." Krieg tried to take a step forward, but stumbled backward onto the ground.
Bad Wolf stood up and walked over to his sword, pulling it off the ground. "I hope you had a fun time, because I'm going to kill you." He said as he walked around Krieg to face him and lift his sword up. "Good night." He smirked and got ready to cleave Krieg's head off.
So, this is how we die. I thought we would die from being killed by an ally or at least after killing Handsome Jack by shoving our axe through his mask. It was fun while it lasted. Inner Krieg was ready to meet his fate, when several familiar and vivid images of a woman crossed both of the Kriegs' minds. The images left as fast as they came, but Krieg knew he couldn't die here. On your feet, she might still be out there. Krieg launched himself off upward at Bad Wolf.
Bad Wolf didn't expect Krieg to get up at all, let alone that fast. He couldn't swing his sword in time and was tackled to the ground, making him lose the grip of the sword.
He tried to kill us, we can kill this bastard. Krieg grabbed Bad Wolf's throat and jerked his head back and forth against the ground. "If we're going to die from poison, you're coming with us!" Krieg said as his view and grip lessened. "Nobody kills me, but ME!" Krieg Shouted as he threw a couple punches at Bad Wolf's face, until he felt satisfied and his hand was covered in blood.
Bad Wolf's face was was covered in bruises and bleeding, but he wasn't dead. His aura was gone and he was choked of any consciousness.
Krieg stood up, took five steps, and fainted. he couldn't see anything and he was losing all feeling in his limbs. He accepted death, but it never come.
-Time-
When Krieg came around, he found himself on a clean bed in a white room. The room had a door, cabinets with what looked like bottles, and a window with the blinders closed. This must be a hospital. So, that means that we're not dead? That's the first good thing to happen to us after coming to this world. Inner Krieg looked around the room and took in his surroundings.
AN: This started out at about 2500~3000 words, but I felt it needed certain things added and now it's 3700+ without the author notes.
And yes, the naming system is going to stay, but it's not going to appear for every single character, just 'Badasses' and Krieg's adversaries in fights will have it.
I didn't want Krieg to crush Bad Wolf, but also I didn't want Krieg to be crushed. Plus, I'm not sure if I did the shield justice, it's suppose to be a random shield he just looted off a bandit.
Do you think I made Krieg too strong/weak?
