The Giant

Walter Granite, all of seven feet tall, and three hundred pounds at seventeen was someone who stood out in a crowd, the sight of the massive machine gun strapped to his back that turned into a warhammer was enough to cause crowds to part for him, he hated the fear and ostracism that his size earned him, which was compounded when they realized that he couldn't speak, and he didn't fight back, the last time he had, and he'd nearly killed his tormentor.

Today Walter was in a Bullhead, acting as protection for the Dustplane's other passenger who was running a message out to the watchtowers set up several miles from Vale, the message was apparently too sensitive to be broadcast to the tower. Halfway to the destination a problem arose, if your definition of the word problem included a picture of a Giant Nevermore, whose sharp feathers sliced through the Bullhead's left wing, Walter picked up the messenger, and the pilot, and jumped out of the falling aircraft, ignoring the screams of both men in his ears, Walter began emitting aura as fast as he could, brown light poured from his body until they hit the ground like a meteor, Walter's huge aura was the only thing that prevented serious injury, he dumped both men on the ground and pulled Earthshaker, his weapon, from his back, taking aim at the huge bird Grimm, Walter opened fire, the bullets seemed to do very little damage to the monster, but they definitely made it mad, the avian monster swooped down low to the ground, heading straight for the humans, Walter continued to fire on the creature's head, when it was twenty feet away Walter twirled his gun and it changed into a massive hammer, brown light exploded out of Walter's body, he swung his hammer in a wide arc, and when the monster was within striking distance, the hammer slammed down onto the Nevermore with such force that the monster was stopped cold, it's head was smashed into the ground and it's skull was split from the force of the blow.

Walter grabbed the two men and hauled them to their feet, then he pointed at the tower in the distance, indicating that they still had a mission to complete. The two men and the giant teenager ran for the tower. A pack of thirty Beowulves stood between the humans and their destination. Walter leveled his machine gun at the monsters and began mowing them down, the rest charged, only six reached their targets, Earthshaker, in hammer form, smashed them as Walter twirled the huge weapon with ease, within seconds the remaining Beowulves were crushed. They kept running, luckily the area for ten miles around the Watchtower had been cleared of any rocks or vegetation, to prevent Grimm ambushes, Walter replaced the clip in Earthshaker, just as three massive roars shook the ground, they were less than a mile from the tower, and the sun was high in the sky, the ground shook as an enormous monster burst out of the forested area surrounding the watchtower, it looked like a mountain lion, except it was the size of a rhino standing in single file, with three white masked heads and bone shards sticking out of seemingly random parts of it's body, the creature's bounding strides were eating up the distance between it and the humans, the pilot and the messenger ran the rest of the way toward the tower while Walter raised Earthshaker in gun form and opened fire, the monster just kept charging, though it was clearly receiving damage from the Dust rounds it's blind fury made it impervious to pain, Walter shifted his weapon to melee form ran forward, and jumped onto the three headed monster's back, a switch on the hammer's shaft was flipped, and the back of the hammer head broke open, revealing a single booster rocket, which, when triggered brought the head of the hammer down on the monster's back with enough force to tear the monster in half. Earthshaker was stuck in hammer form until Walter performed maintenance on it, which would have to take place before ten tomorrow, as that was when he would need to be on the airship to Beacon.


(Author's Note: Yes this is short, but this is the last prologue and to be honest I'm getting a bit impatient to work on the actual story, please read, enjoy, and review)
