Chapter 3: Funeral Preparations
1 Year Ago
Nexus and Reave are finishing up fighting a horde of beowulves when an ursa breaks it's way into the clearing. "Well shit, it's about time we had some fun!" Nexus laughs as he begins to sink into the shadows of the tree surrounding them. He glides through the shadows and enters into the ursa's, where he then launches himself out and slashes the ursa's back. While over the ursa his blades turn back into guns and he shoots the ursa twice before landing on the ground. He stumbles a bit and the ursa is about to smash into him when five throwing knives pierce the ursa's arm and it stumbles back. "Thanks dude, that would not have been pretty." Nexus says with a sigh of relief.
"I just don't want to have to plan a funeral." Reave answers jokingly while using his semblance of levitation to launch ammunition at the ursa.
"Well I don't plan on having a funeral any time soon," Nexus grunts, "So I'm not too worried about that." Nexus turns his pistols into daggers once again and launches the blades into the ursa. Using the cords still attached to the blades he yanks on them and sends himself flying into the ursa. He uses the momentum to land a heavy blow on the ursa's head. When he lands behind the ursa he uses the tension of the cords, them being wrapped over it's shoulders and all, to bring the ursa down onto it's back. However he misjudged how far away he landed and the ursa landed on top of him.
Reave rushes at them with a blade in his hand, but the ursa rolls over so Reave is forced to stop short so as not to behead his partner.
Nexus struggles to stand up. When he does he gets ready to attack only to realize his weapons are still in the ursa's chest. "Oh, well that's nice," he says sarcastically, "I guess I'll just punch him to my death."
Reave just laughs and shakes his head before charging at the lumbering beast. Reave, not entirely accustomed to being the one charging at the foe, isn't ready for the incoming strike from the ursa. The blow hits Reave square in the side and he goes flying into a tree. The ursa charges at his downed opponent, ready to end this farce once and for all when a trident appears sticking out of his neck and he collapses, dead and defeated on the ground.
