It's been a few months since the fiasco at the camp. I finally got a change of clothes a couple of days ago. It's hard to find clothes for a seven foot tall guy that is mostly made of muscle. I have no idea what I was thinking, I don't know where she went or even if she was alive. One day she was with me and the next she was gone. I cannot even remember her name, how could I find her. Fucking hell Head Man I want a fight!
"Shut up Krieg, we'll fight when we find one. I'm not going out of my way to get into one."
We were in the outskirts of Minneapolis because a few weeks ago we found a homeless man that said he saw a hot chick with awesome ink was going north with some other people. It was a long shot but it was the best lead we have gotten in since we left camp. Sky orb is going down Head Man… It was getting dark, so I started to set up camp. I grabbed Hell-bringer and switched it into its mini crossbow form. I can recycle the ammo that way. Oh hunting we will go, a hunting we will go…
I bagged two squirrels and three skunks for dinner. Wouldn't be my first choices of meat but I can't just strut into a diner, then dash when the bill comes. I'm not built for a low profile if you get my drift. I started my fire and started cooking. Little bit of salt and they didn't taste all too bad.
Now I'm back to being by myself. Some people would think that after 15 years of solitude one would love to have some company, but you grow used to it. Just before I was about to fall asleep, I heard a sound I haven't heard in 15 years, the sound of a Phaselock. I jolted strait up and kicked out my fire. Is that a fight I'm feeling?
"It could be Krieg, get ready to tag in." About damn time… With that I ran towards the noise. I ran to a clearing and saw three guys and a girl fighting a group of rebel Cyclopes. A big guy was punching his was through his share, one was slicing up some with a one handed long sword and a magnum, a guy who looked like he was calling the shots was using a pistol and knife and the girl was using a SMG. While they were fighting another group of Cyclopes started a pincer maneuver. The four were too busy fighting that they didn't even notice the new group.
Krieg smiled under the smiled. Give them hell Krieg… Krieg got his buzzaxe out and rushed straight towards the approaching group of Cyclopes.
"I TOLL FOR YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!" Krieg screamed as he threw his buzzaxe at his first victim. Their tough hide allowed him to survive long enough for Krieg to jump up onto his shoulders, grab his axe then drive the butt deep into his eye. Krieg jumped off and moved to the next one, slicing strait down his back. They turned to dust as Krieg cut at the knees of the next, dropping him to the ground. A knife was driven into his skull by the leader of the others. Krieg looked up and met his eyes. Krieg nodded and they continued to fight side-by-side for the new group of Cyclopes.
About ten minutes later all the Cyclopes were just a bunch of dust. Krieg flipped the buzzaxe back to rod form and put it in his pants. We turned towards the group who was cleaning themselves up. Thanks for the bloodletting Head Man! That's when the soldier/leader walked over and offered his hand.
"Thanks for the help. We wouldn't have gotten out as good as we did without you."
"Yeah killer, thanks for the hand." The woman said. I looked at her and saw them. She had the tattoos we remembered. I walked over to her and leaned down to get a good look of her face. She took a step back, "Can I help you with something big guy?"
"I think he likes you Lil." The guy with the sword said in a mocking tone.
I cocked my head towards her, "You're not her." I straightened my back and started to walk away, when I heard a couple of kids call out.
"Is it safe Roland?" Three kids walked out from behind a few trees. They couldn't be more than 10 years old. All three walked towards Roland, keeping their eyes on me. "Is he one of the bad guys?" One asked as she pointed at me.
"No he's not; he just looks different, like Brick over there."
The big guy, Brick, slapped my shoulder, "Hell yeah!"
Lilith walked up to me and asked, "So…"
"Krieg."
"So…Krieg. Weird question but are you a demi like us?" The rest of the group gathered to hear the answer."
"Athena." I answered back. "How about you guys?"
"My mom is Vesta." Roland answered.
"Trivia here." Lilith said.
"I've got Bacchus." Guy with the sword spoke up, "Also my name is Mordecai."
"You gonna love my mom." Brick said, "She be Venus."
