Hello again guys and gals to Chapter 21 of M.S.T.L and before I even start, you know the drill!
FoShow506 = Really? It looks the same to me on every angle, heck I even went upside down and still looks the same.
Polar333 = I already thought of a solution but thank you for your idea though.
lxdnexus = Metaphorically, figuratively, or literally speaking? Because I'm not old.
MSLBRAWL = I see... At least I have one more reader that likes my stories.
That's all the reviews I got so with that out of the way! Let the story begin!
"You have done well in your training." the head of the Wolf Tribe praised Chrome who was kneeling on his right knee while his left foot planted firmly, "Thank you, Master Dolph." Chrome said, "Now for the True Training."
"What do you mean by that?" Chrome said as he stood up, "The training you undergone is only to prepare you for the real training, now follow me." The head of the Wolf Tribe now known as Dolph stood up followed by Chrome as they went out of the dojo and went out of the freezing cold, both of them not affected by the weather or climate. Dolph lead Chrome to an entrance of a cave with tribal charms on the entrance, "Get in."
"As you wish." Chrome acknowledges Dolph's command and went inside, "You shall train with the Wolf god himself, be prepared." Dolph said as a large boulder fell down sealing the entrance of the cave, "What?!" Chrome exclaimed as he went to the sealed entrance and tried to move it, "Damn it!" Chrome said in a low tone as he just sighed and just turned around, "No use then but to comply." Chrome then walked deeper in to the cave confused on how there aren't any hostile mobs spawning.
"Notch damn." Chrome said as he saw a very huge area that has 12, 15 feet tall stone pillars (it's proportional) which is arranged in a circular and then there is a 20 feet tall platform (proportional as well) at the north side of the room (F.Y.I Chrome entered from the south area).
"Welcome." A loud, gruff, and booming voice called, "I am Fenrir, god of the Wolves. I see you have my son's fang." the voice now known as Fenrir spoke which made Chrome pull out the necklace, "Go to the middle of the pillars then meditate." Fenrir commanded which Chrome did, once he meditated, the wind pick up as Chrome looked up and saw an alpha wolf, smaller than Leo had showed up on the giant platform.
"Stand!" Fenrir spoke telephatically to Chrome which he stood, "Your training shall begin." he said as he howled causing boulders to appear on the 12 stone pillars and then being thrown down on to Chrome who dodges.
"You can not always wait patiently to find an opening. You must make an opening!" Fenrir said teaching Chrome while he dodges and once he heard what Fenrir said, he decided, even though it's a stupid decision punched one of the boulders, it didn't work and he dodged barely, Fenrir howled again stopping the boulders from appearing, "You need to train harder."
"Yes, Master." Chrome bowed as he felt the throbbing pain on his right fist, "Show me your right hand." Fenrir ordered and Chrome did as he was told and showed it to him, Fenrir then closed his eyes as green wind picks up and Chrome noticed that his fist was no longer in pain, "Now you must learn." Fenrir said as he lead Chrome to strenuous training from carrying rocks, push-ups with rocks on his back and pull-ups with rocks tied to his feet while the rocks progressively becomes even bigger.
One Year later
"Hya!" Chrome exclaimed as he punched a boulder turning it in to smaller pieces as boulders kept on being thrown at him as he kept on punching the boulders, a very large boulder then was thrown above Chrome as the boulder was heading straight towards Chrome's head only for Chrome to kick it back up which hit the ceiling of the cave making a huge opening and light shining down on to him as rubble started falling on to him as he quickly punched them away from him. He was now really muscular and well built that his old top clothing could no longer fit him and so he just tied it to his waist, keeping both of his arm guards.
"Excellent." Fenrir said, "Follow me."
"Yes, Master." Chrome said bowing respectfully and followed Fenrir to a wall and suddenly another cave entranced open and Chrome's eyes widen as he saw a large array of weapons and armor, "Take anything that appeals to you." Fenrir said as he let Chrome walk past him. Chrome went to the armor section, where he took a steel helmet that have a horn that resembles a rhinoceros' and the visor sliding up and back to its original postion making the horn go with the visor, a steel shoulder pad with three horns the closest one to the head being the largest, and finally he looked at his leather arm guards then to the steel ones, he then removed his leather ones and replaced it with the steel ones. Looking at his foot wear which was really worn out he decided to replace it with a conveniently place and identical footwear and took metal boots. Oddly enough all the steel armor he took are colored black and had accents of silver.
"Have you found a weapon yet?" Fenrir asked not with annoyance but with curiosity, as he didn't saw him pick up a chest plate and leggings, "Hm..." Chrome hummed as he looked at the weapons not seeing anything that interests him until he looked at the far end of the room where he saw a war hammer with a color scheme of black, gray, and silver and its as long as 5'4 feet tall (Search 'King Robert's War Hammer), "It seems you took a liking to that weapon." Fenrir said as Chrome took hold of the hammer and twirled it around with his fingers like it was just a stick, "What is this hammer's actually weight?"
"It weighs about 2,500 kilograms." Fenrir answered, "Huh... This is everything I need, Master." Chrome said finding a holster for the war hammer finally finding one and strapped it on his back, placing the war hammer on said holster, "Then go, find the exit." Fenrir said.
"Master, I'm not gonna find an exit." Chrome said which made Fenrir grin, "I'm gonna make one."
"Go then, save this land from corruption." Fenrir said as wind picks up, Fenrir disappearing with the wind, "I will." Chrome then went back to the blocked of exit and took his war hammer, "Time to test you out." Chrome said as he prepares to swing it at the boulder, once he swung it the boulder broke in to pieces as he was greeted with the cold weather and inhaling fresh yet cold air. He then went to the Wolf Tribe as he was given terrified looks because of his now new intimidating look with the courtesy of the rhinoceros horned-helmet.
"Where are you, Dolph?!" Chrome shouted once he was in front of Dolph's house, "Chrome?" Lone, Dolph's daughter said as she opened the door and was met by a hulking figure that is Chrome, "Is that you?"
"Why are you talking like I'm dead?" Chrome answered which made Lone jump up to him and tackled him to the ground, "Jumpy, are we?" Chrome said which made Lone realize at what she did and stood up immediately, her dog ears flapped down and her tail dropped down as she have a very noticeable blush.
"I see you're alive even after Fenrir's training." Dolph said as he came out to see the scene before him, "It takes more than a Wolf god that throws giant boulders to kill me." Chrome said as he stood up, "I bet you're here to say goodbye." Dolph said which made Lone look to her father then to Chrome with shocked features, "Isn't it obvious? Farewell." Chrome said as he turned back and was about to walk away only to be stopped by Lone, "What is it this time?" Chrome said without annoyance.
"Stay for a second." Dolph said directing it to Chrome as Lone went back inside and upstairs, a few seconds later Lone came back with a black cloak with a hoodie, she gave it to Chrome, "Here, accept it." Lone said which Chrome took and wore it, "Goodbye then."
"I hope to see you again!" Lone said as she and her father waved goodbye to the retreating figure of Chrome as a blizzard struck causing him to disappear in it. Chrome then started his journey to look for his companions again, he found it odd that Leo didn't find him already like before but already saw why, he was at the west side of the continent and he needed to go to the east side, "Well f***." Chrome swore as he start to walk in the plains. He walked for how long he remembers (which is a month) honing his combat and in the arts of using hammers and continued on refining it until he can fight an entire army standing in one spot. He have discovered the rest of the Mob Tribes, The Head of the Tribes and their daughter/s, Jells, Ella and Lisa, the daughters of the Slime Tribe's Head. Rosa, the daughter of the Iron Golem Tribe's Head. Snowy, the daughter of the Snow Golem Tribe's Head. Rot and Yaebi the two sons of the Zombie Tribe's Head. Silvia, the daughter of the Silverfish Tribe's Head (he had great fun there... not).
"Ugh... I wonder where they are?" Chrome thought as he is in a forest biome, he then heard sword clashing, "Huh?" Chrome went to the sound of the noise silently even with all the steel armor then notice a lone lad in his late teens, 5'9 feet tall and wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans fighting off five thugs and by far that's the most one-sided fight he ever saw until he saw a sixth guy about to shoot at him with a flintlock, "Ugh... dishonorable move." Chrome said (said the guy who hides in the shadows to kill) as he silently run up to the gunman unnoticed until at the last second where Chrome bashed his skull making him fly to one of the thugs then in to a tree. The teen look at Chrome with a readied stance.
"So the boss finally shows up, huh?" The teen said which made Chrome tilt his head to the right, "Boss? What do you mean?" Chrome asked which made the teen loosen up, "So you aren't the boss of this sorry excuse for swordsmen?"
"I don't use a sword anymore." Chrome answered as he shows his war hammer, "By the way are you traveling alone?" Chrome asked which made the teen sweat drop, "As blunt as your weapon... though it has sharp edges" the teen thought (Sharp and blunt, that's how he is), "Yes, why do you ask?" the teen asked back, "A mercenary by the way he cautiously talks to me... interesting." Chrome thought.
"I'm Chrome but call me Rhino." Chrome said introducing himself placing the hammer back to its holster, "I'm Jeff." the teen now known as Jeff said, "Are you wandering aimlessly? Or looking for something?" Chrome asked which he walk closer to the teen, "..." No answer came from Jeff, "I see, don't want to talk about it?" Chrome said as he pulled up his visor then offers his hand for a hand shake, "Would you like to accompany me to the east?"
"..." Jeff thought for a moment then nodded, pulling down his hood and taking Chrome's hand for a shake, "Sure."
"Now that's settled let's get going, shall we?" Chrome asked as he pulled down his visor, "Sure." Jeff answered as he pulled up his hood. They then started their journey reaching the mountain that separated the west from the east, "Mt. Fissure." Jeff said, "How high did I flew away?" Chrome ask to himself, "We need to find a way to lessen the travel time." Chrome said to Jeff, "Let's go use that mining cave over there, I don't think scaling the mountain would be any easier."
"Um... you sure?" Jeff asked, "Maybe it's the safer way to just scale it."
"I want to go to the east as fast as possible so that's not an option, so let's go inside the mine." Chrome said as he went towards the mine, "I don't think this is gonna end well." Jeff said to no one in particular as he followed Chrome. Once they were there both of them got a torch which was conveniently in a chest and a sign that says "Torch for the Mine" (not suspicious at all... really, it's not. How do you expect traveling merchants go from west to east and easy to west?).
"This place is really creepy." Jeff noted as it's really dark, "It's abandoned I think, maybe there was another route frequently used instead of this place."
"Blunt and sharp, as I said." Jeff sweat dropped, "Then why are we here?"
"Because we're not over there." Chrome said pointing behind them with his thumb, "Now stop complaining."
"Yeah, yeah, it's li- what's wrong?" Jeff asked as the atmosphere suddenly turned serious, "Shh... I hear something." Chrome answered in a serious tone, "Let's check it out." he said with a hidden smile, they reached the area of the mine where the mining progress ceased and saw a figure wearing dark black robes (seriously? It's already black and you added dark. Good job!) with a hood that covers his face which who was holding a staff and casting spells at hostile mobs. Normally Chrome would just leave him alone but a certain someone activated a trap chest and hearing the familiar hiss, he held dearly.
"The hell did you just open a trap chest?" Chrome whispered shouted at Jeff, "I thought there would be loot there!" Jeff answered in the same way, "Hey robey! If you want to live run like hell to the exit!" Chrome shouted at the robed figure pointing at the other side of the area. The robed figure looked at him and Jeff and heard the hiss as well as he nodded running towards the exit same goes for the two. Once they were out of there the robed figure and Jeff catching their breath while Chrome looks at the robed figure, he estimated he was around 6 feet tall and when the robed figure looked at him, he noticed his entire face is shadowed except for two pale blue eyes and one pale blue mouth, if he would guess that the robe was enchanted to hide his identity and ended up with that.
"What's your name?" Chrome asked the robe figure, "Introduce yourselves first." the figure said without any hint of emotion, "Well I'm Chrome but call me Rhino and this is Jeff." Chrome said pointing to himself then to Jeff, "I'm Endrius." the robed figure now known as Endrius said, "Do you have anywhere to go?"
"None." Endrius answered without any emotion, "How about you come with us?" Chrome suggested which Endrius just nodded, "Sure." he said with the same blank tone (So many OC's with MPD!), "Let's go then." Chrome said as they began to their journey, Chrome increasing the size of his party. About an hour later they stopped at the edge of the cliff and already saw a village near the ocean being pillage by pirates.
"Well would you look at that. Pirates." Chrome said nonchalantly, "Let's give a helping hand, shall we?" Chrome asked and didn't waited for an answer as he jumped and slid down the cliff followed by his new companions once they were there Endrius shot a fireball at the farthest pirates attracting attention to the area the fire ball hit which Chrome took the chance and bashed a pirate at the back with his hammer which said pirate flew and bumped into 12 of his crew mates ending up in the water and finally Jeff who fought the pirates who took arms which is a lot about 15 one by one. Once they were done they were caught red handed by the Royal Guards.
"Halt! For terrorizing this village you are hereby arrested for your acts. Will you fight back?" The knight who looked to be the captain announce as he stared at Chrome, "No mister! They aren't the ones who terrorize this village!" a girl about the age of 10 said to the captain, who just shoved the girl back, "Do not interfere with official business or you'll be arrest as well." the commander shot a stern look at the girl who cowered, "So will you fight back?" The commander asked again.
"Yes." Chrome simply said yet with venom, "Fine by me. Shields, line formation!" the commander ordered as the knights with shields lined up in a line formation and charged at Chrome, "Wrong formation, buddy." Chrome said with a hidden grinned as he ran up to them and slammed his hammer breaking the shield of the first knight making him fly towards his comrades causing the domino effect and went out to the outskirts of the village, "W-w-what a-a-are y-y-you?!" The commander asked shaking in fear, Chrome just went closer and closer making the commander and his troop back away in fear until the commander landed on his bottom.
"I'm 'The Rhino'." Chrome said then went even closer and the commander was met with a steel visor face to face, "Run!" Chrome shouted at the commander who just crawled away as fast as possible then stood up and ran as possible almost tripping, "Run men!" the commander shouted as his troops ran away as well.
Author's Notes:
