Sam was running towards the village, it wasn't too far but it wasn't close. Thanks to his suit he was running at roughly thirty miles per hour. He was getting closer. He could still see the large orange light produced by the fire in the night sky. If he kept running at this speed he should make it to the village in about forty minutes. He liked the sounds of nature when he could listen to it. It was calming unlike gunshots, the sounds people would make when he would cut them in half, or when they tried begging for mercy. He wasn't going to show any mercy to the cartel that killed his father but that was the past. He'd get to this village and see what's going on.

'Maybe someone left the oven on?' Sam thought to himself and chuckled a bit. Sam continued to keep running until he was in a forest clearing. The moonlight shined on Sam. 'I can't believe the moon is shattered, where the hell even am-' Sam's thoughts were interrupted by something that jumped out from the tree line in an attempt to ambush Sam. Sam quickly dodged in the other direction. Sam looked at what attempted to grab him and saw a creature with red eyes that reminded him of a werewolf staring at him. He then looked around to see more of these creatures looking at him. "What the hell are you?" Sam said out loud to the creatures. All he got in response was a loud roar followed by multiple roars by the other werewolf like creatures. "Listen guys, can't we talk this out? I'm pretty sure I don't taste good and neither does the suit plus I'm sure that there won't be enough of me to satisfy all of you, hehe." Sam replied with a slight chuckle at the end. Sam looked around and saw even more of these creatures.

"Well..." Sam unsheathes his Murasama and gets into a fighting stance. "Let's Dance!". One of the creatures blindly rushes at Sam only to get his head sliced clean off by Sam. The other creatures blindly rushed in. This is what Sam was hoping for. These were nothing but wild creatures who thought that strength and numbers is all they need to win a fight. Sam was about to prove them wrong. Sam jumped into the air and dashed behind one of the creatures. He dropped to the ground and sliced the creature in half from shoulder to hip. He tossed a red phosphorus grenade causing smoke to surround them. The creatures were now blinded. Sam took this opportunity to keep hacking and slashing everything in his way. Despite their bony armor covering their heads the Murasama sliced through it like a hot knife through butter. The smoke faded away and Sam could see only five more of these creatures. Sixteen lay dead by his feet but something was off about the dead creatures. They were turning into ash. 'The hell?' Sam thought to himself. Sam put his arms up with his sword in a right hand and proceeded to taunt the remaining creatures. "Sit, sit, roll over hehe." The creatures blindly rushed at Sam. Sam put his Murasama in his sheath and was getting ready. They were getting closer but not close enough. Sam kept eye contact with the one in the middle. They were in range now and with one pull of the trigger in his sheath his blade came out with lightning fast speed and the three creatures were cut in half in a blink of an eye. Sam could hear the other two behind him so he double jumped then dashed behind them. Sam then activated blade mode and started to slice the two remaining creatures until he almost ran out of fuel cells. Sam still had a few electrolyte packs left so he used one of them to recharge his fuel cells. There by his feet lay twenty one dead creatures that resembled werewolves. Sam wipes off his Murasama before putting back in his sheath. He was also happy that he didn't get blood on his suit, face or hair. Sam proceeded to climb up onto one of the more taller trees to survey the area and see how far the village was. He looked at the village, the fire had died down a bit but he could still see the smoke. 'I'd say that it would take at least fifteen minutes to get there, well... better get moving.' Sam jumped down from the tree and started to run towards the village again. Hopefully this time he won't be interrupted.

Sam could see the village, it looked like it was on fire. Sam jumped over a small river because the bridge leading into the village was destroyed. Sam walked into the town with his Murasama ready to be unsheathed to end anything that posed as a threat to him. Sam kept walking, there were a couple corpses there and there but what surprised him was that they weren't burned. They looked like some were mauled, some were missing their torsos, some their legs. 'Jesus...'. Sam continued his walk to find the building that was burning. There were still some embers but the fire had stopped. He picked up some of the rubble in the door way to go inside the ruined building. It would've been extremely heavy but thanks to his suit it was extremely easy. He walked in and saw that it looked as if this used to be a community hall of some sort. He could see the charred and burned bodies. 'Why are there so many people in here?' It looks as if when the building started burning the entryway collapsed causing everyone to become trapped. He looked at some of the bodies. One looked like a family huddled together in a corner. Two children and what he presumed to be the mother and father. Sam walked towards a fireplace, it was completely burned. 'Looks as if the fire got out of control...' Sam walked out of the building until he heard a scream. 'The hell?' Sam started to run in the direction of the screaming. Sam made it to where the screaming was coming from. A girl who couldn't have been older than thirteen was being dragged out of a house by one of the werewolf creatures. Sam saw another one of the creatures clawing at what seemed to be a very young man, who couldn't have been older than seventeen. He was trying to push away the creature that was trying to tear off his leg but was too weak. Sam unsheathed his Murasama and charged at the two creatures. Sam sliced the creature in half who had a leg in its mouth and then kicked the one who was dragging the girl out into a car. He then activated blade mode and sliced it into three pieces. They were dead. Sam quickly rushed over to the boy who was on the ground in a pool of his own blood. He looked at the boy, his arms were fine, his stomach had many cuts that were bleeding and saw that his leg was damaged most, it was in extremely bad shape. Pieces of it was torn off and it seemed to be broken and he was losing blood and lots of it. He looked to what presumed to be his sister. She was fine besides from a few scrapes and cuts. She ran over to the boy on the ground.

"Andy!" She yelled as she ran over, almost tripping on the pavement.

"The pain... please make it end..." the boy mumbled.

'Shit, I don't know what to do...' Sam didn't have any first aid supplies on him. Repair Nanopaste wouldn't work because he wasn't a cyborg or was wearing a suit like Sam. Sam couldn't just leave him to die, he wasn't a hero, but he wasn't a monster either.

"Mister, can you help him? Please!?" She yelled at Sam.

"Miss do you know where a clinic is?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, it's in that direction, you won't be able to miss it." She said while pointing in a direction.

"Don't move, I'm going to look for supplies." Sam jumped onto a building looking for anything that looked like a pharmacy or clinic of some kind. Then he saw one, he jumped from building to building. He went in and grabbed as many medical supplies as he could. Then ran back. Sam jumped back onto the buildings and started to make his way back as fast as he could. He jumped from the building and landed down by the two. He opened the bag with medical supplies until he saw her crying, pressing down on his chest attempting to perform CPR.

"Please! Wake Up! You cant leave me as well!" She yelled while crying. Sam knelt down and out his fingers on his neck. No pulse. He was too late, even with the suit he wasn't fast enough. The boy was almost dead when he entered the town and was on death's door step when Sam ran to them. There was nothing that he could do anymore. Maybe if he ran past the group of creatures in the forest he could've made it. "Miss, it's too late... I'm sorry." Sam said to the girl in a remorseful voice.

"No... he can't be... it's not possible..." She said in a voice filled with grief.

"Where are your parents?" Sam said while kneeling next to the girl.

"They're... they're dead." She said, then she started crying even more.

"Do you know anyone else?" Sam asked the young girl who was crying even more. She shook her head.

"I don't know what to do anymore... I have nobody else now... Andy was the only one who stayed with me. Everyone else was in the town hall but then it started to burn. Me and Andy were the only ones who made it out. We were going to go to our house to get stuff so we could leave town before the Grimm killed everyone... well I have my older cousin who lives in the next town but she's too far away..." she said while looking at Sam. Her greenish eyes almost glowing in the moonlight.

"So what will you do now?" Sam asked in a concerned voice.

"I don't know, I have nobody else now. I guess I'll just walk into the woods until a Grimm comes to eat me..." She said while crying a little bit softer now.

"Now now, I can't let you do that. Do you know how far away the next town is. I could bring you there with me." Sam said while offering a hand to the young girl.

"It, it's about a three hour drive with, with my mom's old car... but it's not gonna work in more..."She pointed at the car.

"Oh... well we don't need a car but first we must do something." Sam said while picking up the body of Andy. "We need to bury your brother first." He didn't like blood getting on his suit but there was no way to not get blood on his suit.

"Bury? O, Okay... fo, follow me. I know where he would've like to be buried at." She said while getting up. She grabbed a shovel from a shed and proceeded to walk away from the house. Sam followed her as they left the streets and onto a small path until they made it on top a hill that overlooked the town. "We, we used to co, come up here and hide when my parents would fi, fight." Sam started to dig, his suit made digging the grave easy and fast. About five minutes of silence passed, the hole was about five feet deep. He placed the body in it and was about to start filling the hole up until she stopped him. "Wait, please put this with him." She handed Sam a book. "That's his most favorite book." Sam placed the book on Andy's chest and then filled the hole up. "So what now?" She asked while tapping his shoulder.

"First we get your stuff from your house and we go to the the next town, then we'll figure out what to do then." Sam replied to the young girl.

"We don't have a car though... we're stuck here.". She said in a sad voice.

"We don't need one, I have an idea. Here get on my back." Sam said in a jokingly voice. However what Sam didn't know was that she actually jumped on his back and holding on to him. 'I was joking but okay...' Sam thought to himself. They walked back down to the town. They stopped by her house and she put everything she wanted into a backpack. Sam also grabbed some of her late father's clothes to wear when he wasn't wearing the suit. She then climbed back on Sam's back. "So how are we gonna get there, you're going to have to give me directions." Sam said while walking to one of the roads that led out of town.

"Go down this road, it's just down this road." She said in a sleepy voice.

"Hold on tight okay? We're about to go super fast." Sam said to the girl on his back. Sam looked at the speed limit sign. 'Forty Five Miles per Hour...'

"Wait I thought we were walk-". She was interrupted by the sound of the wind. Sam started to sprint down the road, he still had a few electrolyte packs to fuel his suit so he should make it to the next town. He was running at about fifty miles an hour.

"I never got your name, what's your name?" Sam asked the girl on his back who was holding on for dear life.

"What?!" She yelled out at Sam. Sam started slowing slowing down until they were at a moderate speed. Maybe around thirty miles an hour.

"Your name?" Sam asked again.

"Oh, my name is Yumi, what's your name?" She said while looking at the side of Sam's head.

"Oh me, my name is Samuel, but you can call me Sam." Sam said in a sincere voice.

"Sam? Isn't that a girl's name?" Yumi asked and chuckled a bit.

"Well Sam can be used for both boys and girls. It all depends on what it's lengthened to. Sam for Samuel or Sam for Samantha." Sam responded to Yumi's question. "So Yumi what country are we in. We definitely aren't in the United States right?" Sam asked Yumi.

"United States? No we're in the Kingdom of Vale." She said in response to Sam's question. She was a bit dumb founded.

"Vale? What continent is Mistral on?" Sam asked again, he was also a bit dumbfounded.

"The continent of Sanus. How do you not know this..?" She responded and asked Sam a question.

Sam didn't know what to say. He was transported to a new world. A world with a broken moon and killer black werewolf like creatures. He also didn't know what to say to Yumi's question. "Well, uh... I was running super fast until I ran into a tree. I guess I lost a little bit of memory and knowledge when I hit the tree, hehe." Sam chuckled a bit.

"Oh, I understand. By the way, are you a huntsman? You killed all those Grimm super duper quickly. I wanted to become a huntress but my family said no." Sam didn't know what a huntsman was. He was a vigilante, bringing justice to those he saw fit. Typically drug cartels. Did she mean a bounty hunter and those werewolf creatures are called Grimm. 'Man what if that monsoon guy put something in that smoke grenade.' Sam thought to himself.

"No, I'm not a huntsman. You could say I wander the world dispensing justice to those I see fit." Sam said in response to her question.

"Oh okay. You're still pretty cool though. Your sword is pretty cool too and you look like a cyborg! Are you a cyborg? What kind of dust does your sword use? She asked with a bit of joy in her voice.

Sam wasn't one for answering questions but he's answered all of the ones that she's asked so far so what's the harm. "I may look like a cyborg but I'm not. I actually wear a powered exoskeleton suit. It lets me run fast, jump high and it increases my strength and agility. It lets me be a better swordsman." Sam answered her question about being a cyborg. One thing he didn't know was this thing called dust she mention. "Hey Yumi? This might sound a bit stupid but because I hit my head and forgot somethings can you tell me what dust is?" Sam asked Yumi who had her head on his shoulder half awake.

"Dust? Dust is... dust is..." Yumi had just fallen asleep on Sam's back. Sam didn't want to wake her so he gradually started to increase his speed to get to the next town faster.

Sam kept running. His goals so far are, get Yumi to safety and return back to earth to kill Armstrong. Though he doubted if the last goal was still achievable. For all he knew he could still be laying down in the hangar passed out or dead. He had only been here for about a couple hours however so maybe he is dreaming.

A Few Hours Later...

Sam had made it to another town, Sam wasn't tired yet but he was getting close to becoming tired. "Hey, Yumi. Wake up, we're here." Sam walked up to the gate of the town. This town was bigger than the village where Sam had rescued Yumi from.

"Hey, Halt! State your business here!" A gate guard yelled out at Sam and Yumi.

Sam could've snuck in or could've easily killed the guards at the gate but he couldn't risk getting Yumi hurt. "We came from the village north of here. It was attacked by Grimm. She was the only survivor." Sam yelled out to the guards.

Yumi opened her eyes and yawned. "Oh we're here thank you Sam. Wha, what time is it?" Yumi asked Sam. Yumi slowly got off of Sam's back.

"I don't know, I think it's-" Sam was interrupted by the Gate Guard who ran outside of the guard post.

"Yumi!" The Guard bolted to Yumi, Sam stepped out of the way. She almost fell into Yumi when she was trying to slow down. "Yumi is it really true that your village got burned down or did that man kidnap you?" The Gate Guard asked Yumi. Yumi started to tear up again by the mention of her village. "Oh, don't cry... I'm here now. Don't worry." The Gate Guard said in a soothing voice as she pat her head.

"So are you guys going to let us in or what?" Sam said to the gate guard.

"I don't know, are you the huntsman we were waiting for?" She asked Sam.

"No I'm not a huntsman, I was just passing through Yumi's village. I killed a couple Grimm there. Nothing too hard with Murasama with me. What, you want me to exterminate a bunch of Grimm somewhere hehe." Sam responded and chuckled a bit.

"You know, now that I think of it. If you want to exterminate those Grimm you can. That damn huntsman is taking way too long to get here and if Yumi's village was destroyed then they might be heading here next. There's some lien in it if you do." She said while observing Sam a bit more. He looked like a cyborg, his sheath looked strange. It had a rifle magazine loaded in the sheath with a trigger. If he couldn't do it then she'd just wait for the huntsman.

"You know what, sure. If she stays with you during this little mission then I'm perfectly fine." Sam said whilst nudging Yumi softly towards the Gate Guard. "Just tell me where it is and I'll deal with it. It shouldn't be too hard right?". Sam chuckled a bit. He would love to kill more of these creatures.

"Sam, you can't go!". Sam looked over to who was yelling at him. It was Yumi.

"And why is that?" Sam said with a slight smug tone in his voice while crossing his arms.

"Be, because I said so...". Yumi said with a slight frown in her face.

"Tell you what, if I'm not back by the evening you get one favor. It can be anything that is possible for me to do okay?" Sam said while patting her head.

"Deal..." Yumi said while giving a small grin.

Thirty minutes later...

Sam crouched on a tree branch observing the creatures, they were all by this cave. He didn't know why. "Come on little doggies, let's play fetch." Sam whispered to himself as he pulled out a fragmentation grenade and tossed it towards the Grimm causing them all to run towards it to investigate. Six of them were in its blast range when it exploded, killing two and injuring the other four. The other thirty four remained unharmed. Sam unsheathed his Murasama and jumped down slicing one of the Grimm on the way down killing it causing it to turn to ash.

"Ha, wide open!" Sam taunted the Grimm. Sam sheathed his sword and turns to the side. He then dashed towards the Grimm and pulled his sword and started to hack and slash. Their bony armor was nothing the Murasama couldn't beat. Sam counted how many he killed so far. "Five..." One of the creatures rushed at Sam. It was cut down by his Murasama. Seven of the Grimm attempted to surround Sam however Sam just double jumped over them and dashed behind them. He landed behind one of them and vertically sliced it in half. Another Grimm got behind him and tackled him to the ground. Sam wrestled it off of him and saw that this one was more like a bear than a werewolf. It didn't matter however. Thanks to his suit Sam was still stronger. He got the Grimm off of him and activated Blade Mode and sliced its legs off and then sliced its neck, bringing its head clean off. Sam then dodged backwards avoiding one of the other Grimm. Sam continued his rampage against these beasts. Werewolf, bear it didn't matter to him and his Murasama. He was too fast, too agile, too strong and too smart for these creatures to defeat him. "You want to know why they call me Jetstream Sam! I'll show you why hehe!" Sam taunted out loud to the other Grimm in his way. They are rushed him in a rage. Sam calmly sheathed his Murasama and pulled the trigger when they got close. Using his arm not for strength but to guide the momentum of the blade to cleanly slice the six Grimm in front of him. Only five remained. Sam dashed forward and slashed at the Bear like Grimm killing it. He dodged to the side to avoid getting bit by one of the Grimm. He tossed another grenade into it's still open mouth and watched it explode into bits of flesh and bone. The other four Grimm didn't stand much of a chance either. Sam ran to two Grimm that were standing to close to each other and activated blade mode and sliced both of them in half. He then dashed towards the second to last Grimm. He was about to activate blade mode but realized he needed to recharge his fuel cells. He dodged to the side and grabbed one of his electrolyte packs and used it bringing his fuel cells almost back up to maximum capacity. Instead of activating blade mode he sliced the Grimm in half and dashed towards the last Grimm stabbing it in the chest. Sam brushes the blood off his suit and wiped his blade before putting it back in his sheath. Now all he needed to do was clear the cave but there was a problem... he didn't have a light source. He could be ambushed or run into a wall. He looked around and looked for materials to make a torch of some kind.

One hour passes...

'Making a torch was harder than it seems...'. Sam thought to himself, he chuckled a bit. He walked into the cave. Until he saw it... a body of a man. 'I guess that was the Huntsman huh...' then he heard a noise and pointed his torch in its direction... "Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope!" Sam ran out of the cave while getting chased by a large scorpion like Grimm. Sam made it out of the cave and waited for it to burst out of the cave. It burst out of the cave and Sam dodged to the side. Sam double jumped and dashed behind the Scorpion type Grimm. He activated Blade Mode and started to slice pieces of its tail off like how he sliced off pieces of Metal Gear Ray's tail. The golden stinger fell onto the top of the Grimm. He then started to slice at the Grimm. Unlike other Grimm where they would usually be cut like a Hot Knife through Butter. It was more like a room temperature knife being cut through butter. He activated Blade Mode again and started to hack and slash until it started to turn into ash except the stinger. He was done. "It looked like that scorpion was using the other ones as cannon fodder." Sam chuckled to himself. Sam picked up the stinger and started to make his way back to the town.

Twenty minutes passes...

Getting back to the town was easier than finding the den. He made it back to the gate to see an astonished face on Yumi and the Gate Guards. "There, that should prove that the deed is done. Now have I earned your trust?" Samuel asked in a very smug voice with his signature smile.

"Yeah... I'll let you in and here. We were going to give this to the Huntsman but he hasn't shown up yet so here." The gate guard and Yumi walk out of the Guard post and hand Sam the lien that was supposed to go the dead huntsman in the cave.

"You fought a Death Stalker Sam!? Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Are you-". Yumi was cut off by Sam.

"So that's what that was. It wasn't too hard. With Murasama with me I sliced through it like a knife slicing through butter... and yes Yumi, I'm okay. Though I think I found the body of that Huntsman you were talking about. It was in it's cave." Sam said to the Gate Guard and Yumi. "You know what Yumi, since you're so worried about me and since I'm in a great mood I'll still give you that favor I was talking about-"

"CAN YOU TAKE ME TO VALE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?!?!" Yumi started to attempt to shake Sam while begging him to take her to Vale.

"Uh, actually Yumi... we can't." Sam said while kneeling down on one knee.

"Hey don't break my cousin's heart like that!". The Gate Guard said to Sam in a bit of a scolding voice.

"Come on please, you said you'd do anything. If you want I'll walk there instead of being on your back and I'll try to keep up! Come on, pretty please!" Yumi asked while looking into Sam's eyes.

'Those damn green eyes... there's something about them.' I feel weaker by her... I don't know why.' Sam thought to himself. "You know what, sure we can go but first we rest. Hey Gate Guard! Where is the closest Inn or hotel of some kind?" Sam asked in a smug voice.

"I have a name you know! It's Hana!" She yelled out in a bit of anger and tossed a milk carton at Sam who easily caught it.

"My bad, you just never told me your name hehe, well Hana. Where is the closest Inn or hotel?" Sam asked in the same smug tone.

"Down the road until you reach the fountain then to the left. You won't miss it." Hana said while pointing in the direction.

"Thank you." Sam left with Yumi by his side. "So Yumi? What is dust again?" Sam asked in his normal voice.

"Dust is the energy that powers all of Remnant. It makes cars go vroom and guns go boom." She pointed a finger gun at Sam and pretended to shoot him. Sam decided to play along and fall over onto the ground. "Sam are you alright!?" She rushed to his side.

"Yeah I'm fine. Come on let's keep going."

Sam said in a cheerful voice. Sam and Yumi went into the Inn and up to the counter.

"Oh, I see. A Huntsman Father traveling with his Daughter. Welcome to the Silver Rush Inn, how can I help you two today." The Clerk asked in a very polite tone of voice.

"Well like to have a room for two nights. Make sure that there's two beds.". Sam said while looking at the clerk.

"Yeah we can get you two a room for two nights. It'll be about two hundred fifty lien for tonight and one hundred fifty for the next night." Sam handed the clerk the lien and the transaction was successful.

The clerk said while opening a book. "I'll need your names please."

"Samuel."

"Yumi."

"Alrighty! You two are set. The Swimming pool is open from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm and we serve breakfast at 8:00 am until 11:00 am.. Meaning you two are still able to grab a bite if you want. Your room is 52. Down the hall on the right. Please enjoy your stay.

Sam and Yumi continued to their room. Sam unlocked the door and went in. Yumi followed Sam. Sam locked the door and sat down on his bed. He unattached his Sheath with Murasama In it and placed it by the wall. He was exhausted, he wasn't a cyborg, he was only a human in a exoskeleton suit. All that running and fighting had finally tired him out. "Hey Sam... good.. night...". Sam looked at Yumi and saw that she had fallen asleep again. Sam went into the bathroom and got out of the suit and into some normal looking clothes. A simple red T-Shirt and some grey Sweatpants. He picked up the suit and put it by his Murasama. Sam laid in the bed, closed his eyes and this is where if it was dream he'd wake up, if not then he'd know he was stuck here...

———————————————————

Another chapter because I am not experiencing Writer's Block in this story. I also died to Samuel Hayden in my Ancient Gods, Ultra Nightmare run again today so that was fun... Anyways if you were wondering how Yumi looks, she looks like Filo from The Rising Of The Shield Hero just with no wings, a bit taller and green eyes instead of blue. Hana/The Gate Guard looks like an older Tanya Degurechaff, in her early twenties. That's all for today. Hopefully you guys have a wonderful rest of your day/night.
