Two weeks have past since I first arrived. I only leveled up once, and my battle plan was still a little sloppy. I developed my own personal technique where I run up toward an enemy and ram the shotgun into its face, and then fire it off. I call it the smash shot. It's crude, but efficient. I went through all off my starter clips and perchased some new ones. I bought 5 shotgun clips and a new one called the beam clip, which fired a small laser, up to ten. Riker has become strong also, and I bring him out into the field with me now and then. He has learned to use the poison fang, which has helped me out of a few jams.
All in all, he makes a great companion. I have needed to go to a tailor on several occasions, one with my worst idea ever, taking on the Midgar Zolem, yes thats right, one cocky teen against a 20 ft cobra. I was lucky I wasn't eaten, but believe me, the fight went on for a good amount of time. All the townspeoplewere there when they heard about the new kid taking on the snake that everyone feared. Let me give you the details.
I was out by the ranch for the first time, with a chocobo lure, trying to get a chocobo to ride on. I thought it would be fun to run around with those birds, so I found on and caught it. It WASN'T the same as in the game and he went out of control, throwing me into the swamp. I said "Oh shit I gotta get the hell out of here." I ran to get to dry land but it was too late, and the beast rose from the swamp to greet me with those large fangs.(I'm not sure but I think I pissed my pants, but I was too wet to know.)
The thing lunged right at me and I dived away. It just missing me. I climped onto dry land and took a shot at it, causing it to scream. "Getting my limit right now would be a real blessing." I told myself, still firing the beast got angry and was about to use beta. "Come on Ryan think." That isthe moment where my straight C brain got thinking. : Beta is a fire attack, dive down into the marsh and wait 5 seconds:. I dived in just as the attack hit the ground. Causing widespread scorching. I arose to see a pissed off snake staring right at me." Hi" I wimpered as I lifted my arm and shot at it. Sucsess, I shot one of it's eys out. Without thinking, I jumped on it's tail and I went for the ride of my life.
Authors note: I know its a short chappie, but It will be worthwhile when you get to find out what happens.
