'I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky. Think about every night and day, spread my wings and fly away. I believe I can soar, see myself running through that open door. Ooh I believe I can fly'. Alfred thought to himself as he flew in the air with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes and panicked as he saw how close the trees were. I got to slow myself down or I'm going to splatter like a bug.
He grabbed Tom and loaded an explosive clip causing his gun to glow yellow. He aimed it at the ground at an angle and fired. The explosive force pushed him back slowing his descent just enough for him to take his knife from his vest and stab it into a tree stopping him. He dropped down and landed with a solid thud. He put away his knife and brushed himself off. 'Alright since that part is done, the rest should be a cake walk'.
He walked along the forest being careful of his surroundings. 'Alright, let's check our priorities, I need to find a relic at the forest temple that is somewhere in this who knows how large forest, I need a partner who I need to find, and I need to not die. Okay seems simple enough'.
He came into a small clearing after about 5 minutes. There was a couple of boulders along the edges and three rocks in the middle creating a Teepee. It looked like there was something inside of it. Alfred walked closer to get a better look of what it was. He kneeled down in front of it and picked it up the item. It was an egg, a white egg with red markings and black fur sprouting around it.
'Oh Crap' He thought to himself as he realized that what he was holding a Grimm egg. He immediately dropped it. Realizing his mistake a moment too late he tried to grab the falling egg but to no avail as he watched it break on the ground. A terrifying roar followed other smaller roars rang throughout the forest. 'Well it looks like I'm about to have some company'
He readied Tom and tried to take cover behind a boulder. But when he was 25 yards away, a pack of about 10 beowolves jumped out from the trees and landed in front of him. Alfred heard rustling behind him, he turned around to see another ten beowolves and 3 Ursi, one of them larger who was obviously the mother of the broken egg. He was completely surrounded, he quickly pulled out his M1911 and replaced the magazine in it. He put it back in its holster and waited for the Grim to make the first move.
The mother stood on her hind legs and let out a battle cry. All the beowolves launched forward at him. He started firing taking out five of them before the first one reached him. He switched Tom to sword form and sliced down the first one to get to him.
He took out his pistol and shot the closest one to him in the head. He heard one of them jump behind him. He turned around and stabbed it in the chest before shooting it 4 times in the throat. He turned around and shot three more beowolves in the head before he heard that horrible clicking sound of an empty clip.
He grabbed his pistol by the barrel and used the butt of the gun to smack a Beowulf to the ground and stabbed it with Tom. He put away his pistol and switched Tom back to gun form and started shooting taking out 3 more before one of them managed to land a hit on him knocking him back.
"Okay. If you want to play it like that" He said getting up.
He charged at them using his bayonet to stab the first one and shooting a hole in its chest. One jumped up and landed on his back. He quickly spun around and jumped up body slamming it on top of one of its comrades killing both of them. The remaining three beowolves looked at each other before running away to escape the same fate as their former friends.
The three Ursi looked at each other before all three roared at the same time. One of them charged at him roaring. Alfred waited at the other end of the clearing for it to reach him. When it reached him, it swiped at him lowering its head in the process. He jumped up and landed on top of the Ursa. He turned Tom into sword form and slit its throat. The Ursa stumbled for a moment before Alfred finished the job by stabbing it in the head. The Ursa fell dead and Alfred rolled off waiting for the next one to attack him.
The Ursa next to the mother quickly ran off in fear. The mother stood up ready to kill the man who broke her eggs when a gun shot went off.
BANG
The mother looked down at her chest to see a bullet hole and blood running down.
BANG BANG BANG
More gunshots went off in more rapid succession coming faster and faster until it came to a point where there was no pause between the guns shots. After a minute, the gunfire came to a stop. The mother took a step forward before 4 spikes pierced her and exploded completely obliterating the former Ursa.
Alfred looked up to see Lance holding what appeared to be a mini gun with 4 triangles around the barrels. Lance clicked a button and the four triangles closed revealing that his minigun also turned into a lance.
"Hello" Lance said putting the large weapon on his back.
"Hi..." Alfred said a bit stunned at what he had just witness. "I guess we are partners now"
"Guess so" Lance replied walking to him.
The newly formed duo started walking together through the forest.
"Listen, if we are going to be partner. I have to admit that when I first met you, I didn't like you that much. I thought you were a bit of a show off" Alfred admitted.
Lance sighed "Sorry about that. To be honest, this is my first year going to a school ever in my life"
"You're kidding. You never went to elementary school or pre combat school"
Lance shook his head "Nope. My family is very rich and powerful so that I was privately trained by champion athletes and taught by famous professors in my own home. So I never had to make friends on my own, you could say I was very nervous and overthinked the whole thing" He said.
"Well anyone who can turn an Ursa that big into Swiss cheese in less than a minute is okay by me. I mean that thing was so holey that it should be considered a God. What type of weapon can do that by the way?" Alfred asked.
Lance reached behind his back and pulled out his weapon. "Say hello to Winged Crusader, it's a combination of a lance and minigun. It has 4 barrels that hold 75 round cylinder clips so it can fire 300 rounds before it needs to reload. When I do need to reload, the barrels push the cylinders out and the tops of them close into the spikes. They then fire out and stab into whatever it hits and explode. It has 16 extra clips behind the barrels so I can reload on a moment's notice" He explained.
"Nice, seems like a pretty effective weapon" Alfred commented.
"Yeah it is. How about you? When I got there, there was three Ursi and ten beowolves and took out all but one pretty quickly" Lance said.
"My weapon is called Peeping Tom. It's a DDCW or Dust Disguised Combination weapon. Right now, you can clearly see that it's a Thomson SMG with a bayonet that can also turn into a sword but when it's not being used. It reverts back to a 100% usable violin. When I need it, it turns into a weapon" Alfred said with pride for his weapon.
"That's pretty sweet. By the way, do you know where we going?" Lance asked looking around.
"Yeah. Forward" Alfred replied.
Lance chuckled, "I can tell we are going to be good friends" he said to his partner.
They walked aimlessly around the forest when they heard gunshots and sounds of struggle. They looked at each other for a moment before rushing to go help whoever was fighting. They pulled out their weapons and charged into battle... only to see there was no battle. Only Vincent and Nate looking a four Beowolves tied up around rock.
"Charge?" Lance said confused.
"Oh hey guys, what's up?" Nate said looking behind him.
"Umm. We heard gunshots and we thought we come and help but it looks like you guys aren't the ones who need assistance in scenario" Alfred said looking at the beowolves whimper.
"We were ambushed by a pack of these fellows but we handle the situation" Vincent said.
"So why are four of them tied up like hostages?" Lance asked confused.
"That is an excellent question. Nate, would mind explaining why are we keeping these four alive?" Vincent asked accusingly.
"Well, I climbed one of the tree and saw the forest temple about a mile and half away from here. So I figured we need a faster mode of transportation" Nate said.
"And what would that be?" Alfred asked.
Nate smiled and looked at the beowolves. The beowolves looked at him before looking at each other concerned. "Well, when was the last time you guys went to a rodeo?" He said smiling like a devil.
