Sorry for the shortness of this chapter , I hope you like it , though.
Katyusha woke up , only refreshed and glanced around for a moment. Kiku was already awake and looked as if he were getting ready to leave. "You finally have awoken, if you didn't soon, I thought I was going to have to leave you." Kiku stated with a straight face. Katyusha slowly stood up . The hell bear, Vedmid'M'Yaso, had already awoken, but was just laying down on the ground, lazily. Kiku glanced at the bear for a moment. "Do you think we would be able to ride it?" Kiku asked Katyusha. Katyusha shrugged in response before approaching the bear, Vedmid'M'Yaso's ears twitched for a moment and it glanced at Katyusha for a moment. It wasn't long before the hell bear then stood up , Katyusha held her hand out towards it. Vedmid'M'Yaso's ears twitched slightly once more before Katyusha climbed onto it's back. The hell bear allowed her to climb onto it's back. "Yes, he is , at the least, allowing me to ride him." She said in response.
"Good." Kiku responded , somewhat tiredly, not wanting to walk and hoping the bear would allow him to ride it , he then approached the hell bear. Vedmid'M'Yaso growled at Kiku for a moment when he was quite close to the bear . Kiku frowned faintly, "I guess that means I will be walking." Kiku continued.
The group started their journey once more, trudging through knee-deep snow, or at the least Kiku and Pochi were. Hours and hours went by, before they finally arrived at this so called "Bern Republic." , there was a large wall in front of them, made of some sort of metal. "Hello?!" Kiku yelled in an exhausted tone.
"Who goes there , loser, kesese!" The group's gaze fell on the top of a large wall , a man with hair whiter than snow and crimson red eyes. He was wearing some sort of military outfit, as well as he was holding some sort of weapon, it looked somewhat futuristic.
"We are just travelers , please let us in!" The man glanced at the group for a moment.
"Hell no, you two could be spies from our unaweso event enemies, leave now before I-" Suddenly a woman's voice interrupted the man's.
"Gilbert! What is the god damn problem now? "
"Fuck off, Elizabeta, it's none of you business." Kiku glanced up at the walk, spotting a woman with brown hair that was wavy at the ends and green eyes , wearing the same strange military outfit that the man was wearing. The woman , who's name was Elizabeta, shot a glare at the man, who's name was Gilbert, for a moment before her emerald green gaze fell onto Kiku , Katyusha and the two creatures that had accompanied them.
"Who the hell are these people?"
"Please let us in," Kiku pleaded, "We are not spies... We are survivors, please, let us in!"
"Gilbert," Gilbert glanced at Elizabeta for a moment . "Let them in."
"Wha?! Liz-"
"But, we will have the boss , interrogate them, just in case they are spies." Gilbert rolled his eyes in response, before doing as the Hungarian woman told, not wanting to end up with a black eye or a broken arm. He seemingly climbed down the wall, disappearing from the sight of the group. Not long after , the duo and their pets heard a click of a button , an alarm went off , the two two glanced to the right where they saw a vault door that had blended in with the wall, open. They then entered the vault to be met with the sound of growling. Gilbert and Elizabeta had made their way down , and were holding two leashes , with a non-mutated dog on each leash. " Welcome to the Bern Republic, follow us now, but if you don't , we won't hesitate to shoot you." Elizabeta said before she started to walk.
