Craft 25: Legion SUS!

We are Taiso

Legion swiftly passes through the forest as I struggle to follow close behind him. 'Where is he taking me?' Legion runs out into a clearing and stops, turning around to look at me. "Oh? You've followed me here?" Legion asks playfully, twirling the dagger in his hand. Putting up, I take a moment to catch my breath. "Sigh~" Legion crosses his arms as I catch my breath. " Okay, what's your game?" I ask, entering a combat stance. "Oh, yes. I was waiting for this." Legion said, putting away the dagger.

Legion:(jesus pose) I will now regale you with the intricacies of my grand-(slumps) Do you really think I'd bother with that?

Taiso:(shrugs) Worth a shot. We never talked with each other before.

Legion:(rolls eyes) I'm not in the mood to talk with you people.(glares at Taiso) Rather, I'd prefer to Trap you instead!

From the shadows of the trees Beowolfs peek out of the trees and step into the light. "I was hoping to snare more Riders, but you'll do." Legion said, as Beowolfs flank him at every side. "I've been ordered not to hurt you but… So long as I need some better bait, you do perfectly." Legion said, stepping backwards into the trees. "Hey! Where do you-" Reaching back to grab my belt, all I grab is air… 'Where's my belt?!' My mind races. "Ah." My mind clicks.

Flashback a few days… Garage...

Stepping into the Garage I spot my bike. "It's back?" I ask, stepping up to the bike. "Try not to lose it." A voice behind me said, I turned around to see Mrs. Glenda walking into the garage. "We had forgotten to give you this when we gave you the bike." Glenda hands me a scroll. "So here it is now. Keep them both on hand." Glenda said, turning around and walking to the door. "Oh… Thanks." I muttered as the door closed.

Taiso:(looks at bike) Well… Since I have it… May as well put my belt in there!

Taiso:(sweatdrop) … Note to self… Always keep your belt on hand…

Legion:(guttural chuckle) You humans are so odd… Hurt him, but don't kill him… Not yet.

Taiso:(reaches into coat) Don't think I'll go down without a fight!

Drawing a pair of small blades, I flip my grip on the blade in my left hand. "I always keep a weapon on me! Come get me if you can!" I shout as a Beowolf charges at me. "Comon!" I shout to the sky.

We are Alborz…

Stepping over a root I look around the forest for Taiso. "Alborz? Are you sure you should be out here?" Grace asks, stepping over the root behind me. "It's necessary." I said leaning against a tree. "Why is that?" Looking up at the tree line, I think back to the many times we had to direct Taiso around Beacon.

Alborz:(sighs) Taiso has no sense of direction. It took him weeks to even somewhat understand the layout of the Academy. If he's just wandered off I'm worried he'll get lost and mauled by a Grimm or something.

Grace:(tilts head) This academy is quite large. It's not that-

Alborz:(Sweatdrop) Just trust me. You'll understand sooner or later. He's terrible with-

"Comon!" A familiar voice screams out. "Taiso?" I ask aloud. "Does he usually shout to the sky?" Grace asks, taking out my belt I strap it on as the straps attach. "No, he doesn't." I said taking out my mold. "Something's wrong!" I said, holding up the mold. "Chestplate!" Inserting it into the belt. "Granted! Chest Shahryar!"

Alborz:(cracking neck) Game time. Let's go. Henshin.

Reaching down to my belt, I bring the Jambiya down. "Shatter Though!" Wind begins to swirl around me and a sand storm begins to kick up below my feet, it grows in size to the point it engulfs me. Armor forms within the storm and attaches onto me. Reaching down to my hips, I take hold of my blades. The helmet attaches on, eyes light up before I slash an X through the sandstorm knocking it away. "Sand Storm King! Shahryar!" Twirling the blade in my hand I glance over at Grace.

Shahryar: Follow behind, keep an eye out, and watch my back. I have a bad feeling about this.

Grace:(adjusts coat) Understood.

Shahryar:(points ahead) Kamen Rider Shahryar! Making an Entrance!

We are Taiso

*Roar!*

The Beowolf swings it's claws down on me. Stepping to the right, the claws miss me, raising my left arm up I stab the knife into the Beowolfs right eye. Putting the knife in my right hand up to the wolf's neck, I twist my left wrist and spin around the wolf's head splitting the wolf's throat. Two Beowolfs charge at me from either side, both swing their right and left hands at me. Ducking under the claws, I step back and jam both knives into the hands locking the hands together stepping under the arms I twist the hands and bright the two wolves close. Quickly pulling out the knifes, I slit the wolfs throats.

*Roar!*

A sharp pain cuts down my back as I fall to the ground, looking backwards I see a wolf raising it's foot to stomp on me. The wolf stomps the foot down, I quickly roll out of the way to dodge. Thrusting the knife in my right hand into the right knee of the wolf, the wolf drops to a knee but swings it's right arm to whack me. I duck, following with the knife in my left hand, jamming it into the right eye of the wolf then stabbing the wolf from under in it's jaw with the other knife. Using the grip of both I twist the head and snap the neck.

Taiso:(pulling knives out) Ha~ Ha~ Ha~(wipes brow) This is… A lot... easier with the belt.

Legion: Feeling tired are we? You should conserve stamina, you still have a LOT more to go though…

Taiso:(looking around) Oh… Brilliant.(deep breath) Way to go, Taiso.(whisper) The one time you need your belt.

Resting my hands on my knees, more Beowolfs come out of the forest, these ones larger than the previous. 'Ooh~ Fortuna, Fuck me.' Taking another breath, I stand up straight and ready myself for a long fight.

The first large Beowolf charges at me, raising both of it's arms over it's head to slam them down on me. I roll out of the way, before jumping on the hand and at the Wolf's head. Stabbing the shoulder of the wolf. Before I can climb up, the wolf shakes me off. I hit the ground and turn on my back, only to see my knife still in the Beowolf's shoulder. Another wolf roars as it charges up and goes to slam the ground. Jumping out of the way, the impact knocks me up to my feet. Beginning to run, I dodge a claw from the first wolf, then roll under the second wolf's attack, I jump up to dodge both trying to claw me into pieces. Only for a third to slam it's fist into me, knocking me into a tree.

Pain aches as my vision becomes blurry. 'I just had to take the bait...' Clenching the knife in my right hand, I pull myself up to my feet and point the blade towards the Wolfs. The first wolf steps forward and raises its arm to crush me. "Taiso!" I hear screamed out, as a blade flies in and cuts the Beowolf's arm clean off, it spins and hits the ground. I look over to see Shahryar come from the trees with Mrs Grace following behind.

Taiso:(looks at Shahryar) Alborz!(looks at blade) Ah!

Quickly running over to Shahryar's tossed blade, I pick it up and in one swift motion I cut open the Beowolf's stomach. It kneels using it's other arm to cover the wound. 'Now!' Raising the blade over my head I swing down at the Wolf's neck. The Beowolf attempts to block with its arm stub. Shahryar's blade cuts cleanly through the head of the Wolf.

Taiso:(looks at blade) So glad you came to me to sharpen these! Beautiful Khopesh sword-(Grimm roars) Oh fuck…

Shahryar:(aims gun) Taiso! Duck!

Taiso:(ducks) Yup!

I see the silhouette of a gun's shadow as a loud crack fills the air. The second Beowolf drops to the ground, the right side it's head blown off. "Taiso… If you don't mind." Shahryar said, putting a hand out. "My blade please." I nod and hand the blade to him. "Thank you, now step back." Shahryar said, aiming his shotgun and resting his blade on his shoulder.

A Beowolf roars at Shahryar, only for it's head to be blown off. Shahryar charges another wolf as it swings it's arm at him. Jumping over the claw, Shahryar slices straight down the wolf's head. Shahryar jumps off towards another Wolf and flips his grip on his blade. The hook end of the blade catches the neck of the Beowolf, Shahryar swings around and up into the air, slicing off the Wolf's head in the process. In the air, Shahryar sheathes his blade and switches it to gun mode. Pointing at the ground, Shahryar unleashes a volley of shots that tear though Beowolf after Beowolf. Shahryar twists and flips in the air before safely landing on the ground.

Shahryar:(holsters guns) Child's play.

"Whoa." I mutter. Shahryar stands up and points to me. "Taiso, behind you!" Shahryar said, I turned around to see one last Beowolf behind me, reaching out to grab me. Before I can react, something jumps in the way. In a flash both of the wolf's arms are sliced clean off, standing in front of me is Grace with a pair of bladed Tonfas. "Rude to sneak up on someone like that." Grace said, aiming her tonfas and quickly shot into the wolf's knees causing it to drop to the ground. "Repent, creature of sin." Grace said, putting her blades up at the neck of the wolf and decapitates the Beowolf.

Shahryar:(sighs) Add a sermon and purify the land too while you're at it.

Grace:(looks at Shahryar) Alborz, you know my view on the Creatures of Grimm.

Shahryar:(shrugs) Of course, they are beings made by our sins, thus our killing of them is our way of repenting. If only the school would add that to the Hunter's edict.

Grace: Alborz! Watch your tone!

Legion:(steps out) Yes, Do watch our tongue, Thief king.

The three of us all look over as Legion. "Thieves only spew fools gold." Legion said, crossing his arms. "Sounds like you spew quite a lot yourself." Shahryar said, he raises his guns to Legion, Grace and I also stand alongside him with our weapons at the ready. "Guilty as charged." Legion said, the ground begins to rumble as a shadowy figure begins to stomps towards us.

Legion:(creepy smile) But Fools Gold is hard to spot the difference in the moment. You may not catch on, until it's too late.

Grace:(steps back) Fortuna protects, that's a Cyclops Grimm!

Taiso:(sighs) First Fishing Metaphors now Gold Metaphors. What's next?

Shahryar:(shrugs) Maybe a Car crash Metaphor?('really?' look from Taiso) Just an idea. Grace, watch my back. Taiso get back to the campus and get the others.

The two charge off towards the Cyclops Grimm. "W-Wait there is no certainty of mo- Ah~" I facepalm and let out a groan. "Fortuna fuck me." I turn and run back the way I came. "What now… I can't drag in more- Wait!" Screeching to a halt, I put away my knives and take out my scroll. "Maybe I can use the bike like Artoria…" Accessing my phone, I open a new app given to me after the previous Grimm attack. "Thank Fortuna! I can call my bike! " I exclaim, turning around back towards the clearing I take a deep breath.

Taiso:(clenches fist) Hold on Alborz, I'm getting help after all.
