Mei sighed as she looked at the time on her scroll.
"Where is she?" Mei muttered.
"Here I am," Pyrrha said walking up with her armor, spear and shield.
"You brought your weapons?" asked Mei.
"Of course," said Pyrrha "were guranteed to run into Grimm out here.
"May I see them?" Mei asked.
"Uh certainly." Pyrrha said handing them to the grandmaster.
"Fine craftsmanship, these have served you well I presume?"
"Indeed they have I saved many lives and slain many Grimm with them."
"Fascinating, however..."
Mei suddenly tossed Akoúo and Miló over her shoulder into the bush.
"You will not be needing weapons for today's lesson."
Pyrrha ran to her weapons only for a Bigfoot to grab them and keep them away from her.
"I'll have Qiangdu return your weapons after the lesson." Mei reassured her. "Come now Pyrrha."
Pyrrha looked at Mei as if she was insane but hesitantly decided to follow her.
"What happens if we run into Grimm?" She asked. "I won't be able to defend myself!"
"That's precisely what you are going to tame today."
"Wha?!" Pyrrha said dumbfound.
"A BeastMaster does not choose their first tame the creature chooses them."
"How do you know a Grimm is gonna be my first tame?"
"Instinct." Mei explained. "Also the fact there's no wild Dino's on Remnant."
"Oh...right." Pyrrha said rubbing the back of her neck.
"So How do I know which one is gonna be it?"
"It will be the only one that refuses to leave." Mei stated simply.
"Huh?" Pyrrha said confused.
"You'll see." Mei replied as they reached an open area of the forest filled with Grimm of various types.
"Pyrrha was on edge they were in front of a horde of Grimm without any weapons."
The Grimm all begun to close in on the two until shouted. "STOP!"
Every Grimm stopped Immediately.
"LEAVE." She ordered.
Sure enough they all left all except one.
(Since only 3 people voted I decided to just try something else I heard about how rooster teeth disqualified mayukiarts entry for the Grimm cause of the minority of the fan base that happen to be pc nut jobs whining about it being offensive to Native American culture *cough.* bullshit. *cough.* I decided to include it in the story to do her a little justice.)
Mei turned to Pyrrha and pointed toward the Wendigo.
"That shall be your first tame." She said as if it'll be easy as hell.
"Are you insane!? that's one of the most dangerous type of Grimm out here!"Pyrrha shouted.
Mei handed her an empty cryopod.
"We are not leaving until you tame that beast." She ordered.
Pyrrha looked to the cryopod and then the Wendigo. She sighed.
"Ok so what do I do?"she asked.
"you must not be afraid Ms. Nikos," Mei lectured. "First you must show it you mean it no harm, soothe the beast. but you must not show submission nor domination. second you must bond with it. Then you place your hand on it."
"Right ok I can do this." She said before marching toward the Wendigo only for it to smack her right back next to Mei.
"You we're trying to be Dominant." Mei sighed. "The relationship between a BeastMaster and her animals is not a master/slave complex, it is a bond of companionship."
"You want me to be friends with a Grimm?" Pyrrha asked confused.
"I'm merely instructing you how to tame the wild life." Mei scoffed. "What I want is for you to listen."
"Now then," Mei gestured toward the Wendigo. "Try again."
Pyrrha sighed as she got up and did as such and the wendigo smacked her back once more.
"Now your being to laid back." Mei pointed out. "TRY AGAIN."
"This woman's insane." Pyrrha muttered to herself.
Multiple attempts later...*
Pyrrha got up once again and dusted herself off.
"This is impossible!" She groaned.
"If you truly believe that then you perhaps you don't deserve the gift you were given at birth." Lectured Mei.
Pyrrha stood silent.
"If you have any Negative thoughts toward your go the more likely you are to fail."
"..."
"Now try again."
Pyrrha looked toward the Wendigo and took a deep breath.
She slowly walked toward it once more. The beast growled and got ready to smack her away once more.
Mei sighed as she waited for the inevitable.
"Enough!" Pyrrha yelled at it making it freeze.
"I have no intention of hurting you so stop hurting me."
Mei raised a brow as she watched.
The wendigo tilted its head.
"If I wanted you dead you'd already be dead, I'm will trust you if your willing to do the same."
The wendigo stood silent...
It then lowered its head toward Pyrrha. Who hesitantly reaches out her hand and placed it on its snout.
The wendigo then begun to change color and look less demonic looking. After the transformation it was Red and Yellow with green eyes. It looked as majestic as a lion.
"Congratulations Ms Nikos you've tamed your first beast." Mei said in a calm tone.
meanwhile...*
Federation troops loaded crates of dust onto the cargo teleporter and had it sent it to General Valen's base located on the island. Where his men immediately took it the General and his men who were set to execute a villager that had aided Ashley in the past.
"The BeastMaster will be the end of you bastards just you see!" The villager yelled.
The General unamused grabbed the villager by the hair and jammed his cigarette right into his left eye making the villager wail in pain, he then left it in the poor mans eyesocket.
"General Valen the shipment has arrived." Said one of the soldiers carrying the dust.
"Lovely timing." said the middle aged General. "We just happen to have a subject to test this dust on."
"LOAD UP BOYS!" He ordered out loud.
The firing squad filled their clips with the dust bullets.
"You sure as hell like to plant your boot on the weak don't you Valen?" the Villager mocked him. "I bet even your own mother is disgusted by you, you sadistic bastard!"
"READY." He ordered the squad.
"Killing me won't solve anything, the BeastMaster will expose the Federation for the scummy piece of shit it is!" The villager continued.
"AIM."
"One of these days... your gonna get what you fucking deserve!!!!"
"FIRE!"
Click!Click!Click!Click!Click!*
The soldier looked down at their weapons in confusion.
Valen yanked one of the soldiers rifles from him and inspected the clip.
The dust within the bullets were now a full grey.
Worthless...the moment the dust had left Remnants atmosphere it was render completely worthless.
The General let out a low sigh before calmly grabbing a grenade, pulled the pin out and casually tossed it over his shoulder at the Villager.
The Villager didn't even get a chance to scream as the grenade immediately blew him into chunks.
Valen then pulled out a new cigarette and lit it.
He took a puff and turned over to the communications Officer.
"Inform Lady Rockwell." He ordered.
"yes sir." Said the officer.
"Oh and send up a cleaning crew to clean up this trash as well." He ordered gesturing to what was left of the Villager.
On Rockwell's ship.*
The maids gathered around with grim looks on their faces outside Eleanors personal quarters.
The oldest maid placed a cup a straws onto a nearby table after a moment passed they all begun drawing straws one by one.
After all the straws were taken the one with the shortest straw looked in horror, she immediately looked up to her fellow maids and shook her head no whimpering with tears in her eyes.
The other maids pushed her into Eleanors room, Eleanor who was sitting down at her dining room table drinking a fine glass of wine, immediately looked over to the maid as the door closed. The other maids watched as their unlucky coworker whispered the news into lady Rockwell's ear.
...
Eleanor coughed a bit before placing her glass on the table, standing up and patting the maid on the shoulder...before grabbing the back of the maids head and viciously slamming her head into the dining table, over and over and over again.
Despite Eleanors room being soundproof the other maids could still hear the brutal crunch of that last slam.
After taking a moment to catch her breath Eleanor tossed the twitching maids body to the side like a piece of trash.
She then came out of the room as the other maids immediately formed single file averting Eleanors haze not one daring to look her in the eye.
"Get Salem on the line." Eleanor Growled.
