Making it Back
Argent starts prodding everyone. "Come on, get up." Malak gets up while Ully was up early.
"Sup, sleepy heads," said Ully.
"What...what time is it?" Vincent says as he lazily gets up and scratches his eyes as the older huntsman wakes up his team.
"Time for us to go home." stated Argent.
"Yep," Ully says, as he apparently has all his shit together.
"Alright, we can finally get out of this tundra!" Malak exclaims.
"Yup. Step 1. Where are we going?" Argent questions the team.
"You're the guy who knows the mission," Ully says.
"Ummmm...care to elaborate?" Vince questions.
"We are 3 days away from the village. That was by train. Otherwise we are 2 days away from the destination which was also by train."
"Could we use our scrolls and contact help?" Malak asks.
"We have no reception out here."
"Maybe the train's radio is still working." said Malak.
"If not I could take a look at it, see if I can't get it somewhat working." said Ully.
"Perhaps but it wouldn't be very far. Feel free to see." said Argent. Malak heads to conductors car and examines the radio system. After looking at it he sees that it's able to send signals but not receive any.
"Alright so good news and bad news. The good news is that the radio works, but the catch is that it's a one way call. We can call them but they can't call us back."
"So how are we going to solve this problem?" asked Vince.
"We tell them our route and say we can't receive any message." said Ully. Malak begins to transmit his message on an open frequency.
"To anyone who's listening, my name is Malak Azraq and me and a group of survivors are stranded. We don't know our coordinates and we are severely lacking the necessary supplies to survive out here. Please send help ASAP!"
"Well, surviving out here won't be that hard." said Ully looking around.
"Maybe, but I don't like the fact that we're in the middle of a tundra." said Malak. Argent watches the boys play with the transmitter. He tenses up and reaches for his sword. He turns around and whistles to get their attention. Malak turns to Argent.
"Argent, what is wrong?" asked Revan.
"We need to move right now. Someone grab Jasper and let's get-" At that moment an Ursa tackles Argent, tossing his sword away. Argent struggles with it. "GO RUN!" More Grimm emerge at full force from the forest.
"Revan and Vincent grab Jasper!" Malak says before he flies up, then uses his rifle to snipe the oncoming Grimm." The sudden wave of grimm caught Vincent by surprise. There was a split second before Vincent noticed Malak's command. He runs quickly towards his downed teammate and picked him up. The Ursa roars in Argent's face. He roars back and gets his left hand on the Ursa's throat. "Enjoy Atlas tech, you son of a bitch!" His mechanical hand begins to crush the windpipe of the Ursa. It cries in pain and attempts to bite Argent's head off. He frees his right hand and activates the crossbow mode on his right gauntlet and fires it into the Ursa's left eye. The Ursa roars and swipes Argent away who handspring from the throw to land on his feet, firing more bolts at the Ursa. "Come and get some." He drops the ball and chain from his left arm and starts spinning it over his head. Ully was totally behind them the entire time and was listening to Malak's orders. The ursa gets his head smashed in by argents ball in chain and then two more charge in taking its place.
Revan goes to Jasper and starts smacking him awake now is not the time for your shit Jasper! Two nevermores starts attacking Malak and 3 attacks Vince and Revan and 2 starts charging Ully. Jasper jolts awake.
"Holy Fuck! What's going on?!" He then starts trying to make sense of his surroundings, as he is being carried Vince.
"WE IN WAR, SON, GIVE ME A MOMENT!" Revan charges to a ursa and starts firing in its mouth. He dodges the ursa's wild frenzy attack and hops on his back, unloading on the ursa head, killing it. Malak sees the Nevermore and flies backwards, shooting a burst of burn rounds towards one. Afterwards, he follows it up by switching his rifle to a claymore and going for a slash towards the second Nevermore's wing.
"Hey calm down a little it's gonna get a whole lot harding carrying you if you squirm like that!" Vincent shouts as he was shocked by Jasper's sudden awakening. Ully fires at the nevermore.
"I just wanted to fix a radio, is that too hard to ask?"
"It's all good. I'd love to be carried and everything and always give minimal effort. But you can let me down now." Jasper grabs his weapons off of his back. The ursas around Ully begin to attack him. One nevermore is taken down. Ully rolled out of the way and activated his holo blade, then ran up to the ursa and slashed him.
"Jeez you recover fast huh? Just don't over work yourself," Vincent states as he lets Jasper off his back. He pulls off his halberd as he turned around, looking at the swarm of grimm attacking his team. Switching his halberd into its cannon mode, he begins firing at incoming grimm.
"How long was I out?" Jasper puts his weapon into sniper mode and takes some shots at the grimm along with Vince. The nevermore's wings get chopped in half as it falls to the ground, screeching in pain. The ursa dodges Ully's attacks and tries to pounce on him.
"Well I wasn't counting but I think it was at least more than a day, you can sleep for a long time ya know that," Vincent says as he fires two mores shots at a pair of beowolves.
"Damn. Well now I know what my semblance is sorta? Either I control wind, or I have telekinesis." A deathstalker appears behind Jasper and Vince. Malak sees Ully in trouble and drives his claymore to the Ursa's back. The deathstalker is wearing a cape. It falls off.
"Since when did grimm start wearing capes?" Jasper asks Vince before dashing backward while shooting to gain some distance. Ully moved out of the way, then jumped on top of the ursa.
"Here goes nothing." Ully uses his semblance on the ursa and attempts to take control.
"Hey, let's not judge the murderous monsters for their fashion statements and let's just kill them instead," Vincent says jokingly as he transforms his weapon back into a halberd and charges at the remaining grimm. The ursa starts running around trying to get Ully off its back and runs into a tree, destroying it, while knocking Ully in the air, right at Malak.
"SWEET MOTHER OF GODS!" Malak gets knocked out of the air by Ully and crashes to the ground. He gets him off of him quickly and switches his sword back to a rifle, then proceeds to shoot at the Ursa.
"God I hate failing." Ully gets up and starts shooting again at the ursa he was flung off of. The ursa falls over dead.
"So with that done, let's regroup back with Vince, Revan, and Jasper." The deathstalker charges at Jasper. Jasper charges at the same time., changing his weapon into two swords. He jumps over the deathstalker as it charges, spinning in midair and swinging at its tail. The deathstalker armor takes the hits without any scratches. Revan goes for the deathstalker's eyes and blinds it.
"Got it." said Ully.
Malak leads Ully to the rest of the team and sees that they're already engaged with a Deathstalker. Wanting to provide support, Malak immediately opens fire at the Grimm. The deathstalker, blind as the republican party, screams in terror and charges to where he is getting shot from. Seeing the deathstalker being barraged by his teammate's attacks, Vincent hurries over to the grimm and unleashes a heavy swing with his halberd.
"Come on, a deathstalker? What's next? The snake?" said Ully. The deathstalker is badly wounded. Argent finishes off killing 20 ursas and charges to the deathstalker and plunges his sword deep into his brain, killing it.
"Good work."
"Not sure if worst wake up. Or second worst. It's a tough competition between this and being flashbanged." said Jasper.
"Well...we managed to just wipe out a small army of grimm, not many students get to do this their first year. So take that as you will," Vincent says as he tried to catch his breath.
"That's the second time we did that. I guess we are the best exterminators." said Revan.
"I like it, it means that our skills as hunters are improving." said Malak.
"I wonder if we hold the record for first years with most Grimm kills. And fighting random ass teams in the middle of a tundra on a train." A ship is seen in the distance. "Is that for us or are we gonna need to get to fightin' again?" Malak activates the zoom function on his visor and gets a look on the logo on the ship.
"It's Atlas."
"That's not good." said Revan.
"It's not?" asked Jasper, tilting his head to the side.
"We stole their train, remember?" said Revan.
"Oh yea that did happen. Speaking of which. Did y'all win against the intruders on the train?"
"Yeah." said Malak. The ship lands and a voice is heard, "Get in now, I may or may not have 'borrowed' this from Atlas."
"Wait, who are you?" asked Ully.
"I'm the guy who dropped you off here, get in the fucking ship and stop asking questions."
"Eyyyy. My mans. Shall we go boys?"
"Hell yes." Ully runs into the ship. They all pile in and the ship takes them to Beacon.
"Why is there so much stealing today!" Vincent says as he gets on.
"Thanks for the save. Hopefully we don't die on the way back." said Argent.
"I'd like that as well." said Malak.
"Ditto." Revan agreed.
"I can feel the nevermore attacking us again." said Ully.
"Ully, you feeling alright?"
"Well, we have the worst luck in the world."
"True that, but I think our troubles are done for now. How much longer till we get home, pilot?" asked Revan.
"About a couple of days."
