This was meant to be out earlier but stuff happened.
Snap. I hear twigs breaking in the distance as i ready myself knowing that if i fall it seal my team mates fate. I ready my blades as a horde of blood red eyes fill the surrounding forest.
"I expected more to be honest," i say as i effortlessly bisect the one beast in two with a simple swing of my Nochi. Another beast pounces on me pinning both of my arms to the ground. "This is more like it i say as i kick off the beast. The beast claws into the ground bringing it to a screeching halt before it can resume the attack
I slam my fragment axe over the beasts head crushing the skull with a resounding crunch. However, one of the beasts friends caught me as it's smashes into the my left arm. The crippled hydraulics leaking red hot oil onto the ground as what little strength fades from the arm.
In my weakened state the beast looks at me its red eyes primal like those of the cannibals back home, but it was not like the other beasts i have seen of this world. Its bone plates and spines forming a makeshift set of armor, missing the uniformity of sheik's or the ornate structures of the bone hunters. It's a simple but brutal style, perfect for a beast such as this.
But with my monologue over I quickly block the beasts blows with my remaining blade as i drag my crippled limb and it's burdensome blade. Quickly i throw my blade into the air, the experienced beast not falling for my distraction, it readies itself to block a strike from my fragment axe. However, before the pommel of my blade reaches the floor, I stab the beast through the neck with my nodachi.
My victory was not for long as
The foul tar like ichor flows the from the beasts remains leaving behind a sun baked bone skeleton. "The bone hunters would happier than a fog man having a paladin pie, they don't even need to do any cutting," I say as beast dissolves.
"What happened," Jaune says as the morning sun wakes him.
"Just the usual beasts," i say as begin to treat my battle damage.
While the rest of my team wakes up i replace the crippled section of pipe and begin to pack up my things.
"So, how was the watch," pyrrha asks trying to make conversation.
"The usual, Those beowulf beasts attacked but i fought worse out in the spider plains," I reply.
"I don't want to know," she says with a shiver.
"So how was everyone's nights sleep,"
"It was like sleeping on rocks," Nora says in a goofy yet light hearted tone.
"How about you, Ren," i ask.
"I've definitely slept on better," he says.
"We should start packing up now, our ride will be coming soon," Jaune says as he begins to roll up his sleeping bag.
Scree. One of the many mechanical beasts that they use for transport.
"So what is it you want my to pick up the pilot," says over the loudspeakers.
A good hour of messing with winches, curse words and good old fashioned hard labour, later. We fill the bull head with all of our loot and spoils.
SSSS. The landing gear of the bull head wines as we touch down for landing in beacons skyport. The amber sunrise now replaced with clear blue skies. "So what's everyone got planned," I say as we touch down.
"Mountains of work for our classes,"
"Haha," i chuckle.
"You should probably," do that too.
"Yes, but you're forgetting that i did not exist in this universe when you were ordered to do the work." i reply.
"Where is she," Ruby shouts as she sprints towards me in a cloud of those red petals
"Where is who," I shout as she appears on the bull head with me.
"Crescent rose!"
