I woke in a strange place
"Man my head feels like I was hit by a cabal shield"
Questioning where I am, I get off the ground and look around.
I can't tell where I am, the trees are all nice and green, same with the grass. Where the fuck am I?!
WAIT IT JUST HIT ME
"GHOST!" I call out
Seconds go by...
"Ghost?"
I pull my hand in front of me to forcefully call on her.
The light flashed in my hand...
Then it stops as the shell of my Ghost appears in my hand.
Wait why in my hand and not floating?!
"Hey, Ghost? Time to wake up buddy."
...nothing...
"HEY LITTLE LIGHT!" that should wake her up, she HATES being called that.
But I get no response...
Fuck.. no.. why this... she has to be a... why...
"This isn't fun now," I said jokingly
Okay, I need to focus, I need to check if I can still use it...
I put the shell of my friend down and start to feel it, the gift I was given all those years ago.
My right arm starts to glow a bright orange light and an outline of a shield I know too well came to...wait ORANGE!
"WHAT!" Am I seeing this right? Solar energy is all around the shield and deep inside me as well.
Well, this is new.
But and the end of the day I have the light in me
Meaning that she should be okay, thank the traveler.
Next on the list is my weapons I open up my UI to check if that's working, oh right I should check the map to see if it can and nope shit it had nothing to where I am, fuck where the hell am I? But back to my weapons.
Oh, thank the light I have all of them on me still.
I pick my shotgun and light Bend around my hand and formed my shotgun.
Good, I have firepower back.
3 for 3 lady luck is on my side ha
"Okay, so the next plan of action is to look around."
I pick up my friend and placed her in the middle of my right hand to use the light to put her back in my head and it worked. Well at least she saved in here and hopefully she can recover there
"Man I'm starting to miss having someone to talk to."
Now that my head is starting to feel a lot better I start to look around to better get the feel of the land and its earth. Maybe venues wait.. no... my map would have told me where I was.
"So it's a new planet then, not a bad first impression," I said looking out to the setting sun in the distance.
But maybe I spoke too soon as I heard noise all around me.
My radar was lighting up all in red. I ready my shotgun and wait for the attack.
A big dog? Wait no it's more on the lines of a wolf with bones on it, okay that's cool up until it jumped at me with teeth first.
I pull the trigger to the sound I love to hear in my day-to-day life.
The wolf beats get its up half blown off.
"Come on dogs you don't want to eat me I'll taste bad, like crayons," I say out loud but the wolf anti buying it, oh well more kills to add to the count.
I pump to load the next casing in my gun
I get rushed by the next three this time, I closed the gap between us and shoot to kill it instantly turning on a dime I spun around and drive my fist right in the head of the second one, pinching a hole through its head, then I pump ones more and aimed at the third just for it to jump last second to only to lose it left leg from my shoot and jump right on top of me to get my left arm in its mouth to only bite down for its teeth to break into pieces.
"Oh, I'm sorry ha bet you thought my armor was just for show? Nope, it's high-tier shit" I say as I put an end of my gun to its head and pulled.
To say that it wasn't badass is an understatement.
I get off the ground to notice that the first body is gone. And the 2nd and 3rd start to disappear as well.
"Welp that was a warm welcome to this planet I guess"
And I get back to looking around.
"So I have no ship, no sparrow, lost on a new planet, no way to call for help or back up, I have my light, Ghost is still out cold and now" it starts to get dark fast and starts to rain as well, "I'm cold and wet great"
As I walk I start to head north because my radar works as a compass as well.
Hopefully, I find something for shelter, or a castle could work as well, hell this planet might have monsters like in the books they tell the kids in the city. Oh, the story I can tell if that happens to me.
I've been walking for what feels like hours but it has only been two.
"Fuck my legs are killing me!" I say out loud
I've seen more of those black monsters and different ones as well like bears snakes birds and an elephant. Whelp who knows, all I know is I've been having fun and I've been in luck because they've been dropping ammo for me if they haven't I would have to have gone fist of cuff like an hour ago and as much I love hitting shit, guns are sadly just better at kill far away targets.
As I make my way north I see a small light out past the tree line.
"People!" I said, good to know I'm not alone on this planet besides the monsters.
As I get close to what seemed to be a village, I ran fast as I noted the fire around the house.
"Shit what's happening, could those creatures have done this? No, they could've had right? fallen? That would be the best guess."
But as I get closer and closer it was easier to see it was not the fallen but a lot of those monsters and one I have not seen before a big tall deer-looking one, that was new to me.
As I get to the village I summon my solar shield and yeet that into a crowd of wolf beats for it to hit one killing it just for the shield to start to flash fast before it explodes into what I would say a good size nova bomb.
"Well, that's sick!"
One quick look at the radar to see blue dots meaning people are still fighting back.
I rush to the dots to find a small group of people trying to board a ship while some are trying to fight the horde of monsters.
I grab a piece of rubble to put some light into it and chuck it at a group and watch it hit that deer thing in the back of the head just for the head to exploit into a firework show,
it looked like a big flower.
"That was awesome!"
The blast chained one monster to another making more and more beautiful fire flower explosions
Even killed like 10 more of them with that cool trick I just did but there were still a lot more, so I did the best thing I could think of.
I pull out my thunderlord and started to shoot the horde with my power weapon that brings the eye of the storm, arc energy bullets start to eat right through the skin like it was nothing and once I kill one a storm of arc burst out of the body and started a chain of lightning hitting the rest of them to follow like the first one and in a flash of Blue all that was left was ash a lot of it.
I blink "What just happened, that can't be right? I'm seeing things" hollyshit did thunderlord get a power-up?!
"What just happened?"
"I don't know a dust lightning bomb?"
"we're all in the clear now no Grimm in sight"
The people defending the ship and the people of the village looked around to see no more signs of Grimm anywhere.
just small groups of ash.
"So can someone tell me what happened?"
"I think it was HIM." She said out of breath pointing to a person in the middle of the road.
The group of 4 look out to what looked like a big armored man standing there looking around.
"What's he wearing?"
"I'm going to go thx him for his help!" Said the girl who just got her breath back.
"I don't know about that kat, he looks off to me maybe it's better if we just leave with the villagers and get back up.
"What!? We won there is no more Grimm anywhere Jake."
Okay you two, let's stop the fighting now, let's just go say thx for the assistance and go home to report what happened here..." said a chipper guy before he was cut off by their 4th member.
"GUYS he just fell over!" She said out loud.
As I watch the group talk to them self I look around making sure that there safe and then I notice the bodies.
and a lot of them.
The men, The women dead... but what got me the most was the children...
I can't stop myself, the fear the pain all those memories I hoped I'd forgotten, all came rushing back to me, what happened to me all those years ago.
My vision starts to spin and get dark.
My legs gave out
I dropped to the ground to darkness
When the tower got attacked
Then we lost the light
are home
I told them that I would Protect them
All those children in the city
I couldn't... save...them...
