chapter 2
The lightning
there was a loud thunder crash that scared the living daylight out of both Alex and Scott. looking up Alex saw a reddish yellow strike of lightning hit the hills about half a kilometre away.
both the boys grabbed their weapons and armour and jumped up into the tank to take it for a test drive. they were trundling down the local highway at the maximum speed of a whopping 60 km/h. strangely there were absolutely no other vehicles on the highway even though it was 11 in the evening.
All of a sudden Alex slammed on the breaks as another thunder crash and strike of lightning hit the road no more than 10 feet in front of them. Alex started to move forward again slowly this time as multiple strikes of lightning hit the tank both lads were knocked unconscious. the boys awoke to a loud thud and a jolt as the tank hit the floor of the emerald forest.
Both Alex and Scott had confused looks on their faces as Alex opened the hatch and Scott looked out through the gunner scope and saw they were no longer on the highway and in fact wherein a dense forest.
"where the bloody hell are we,"asked Scott confused
"no idea, but looks like we have bigger problems look to your left mate,"
Alex dropped back down into the tank and grabbed his Barrett m82 and loaded the gun with a magazine of high explosive armour piercing incendiary rounds and popped back up and started to fire on the creature of Grimm. Alex fired 10 rounds of ammo into the Beowolf. it did nothing but piss it off and Alex knew it so he yelled down to Scott to load the cannon with APFSDS-T and Alex jumped in the to gunner seat of the tank and took aim at the creature and fired with an almighty explosion the beast exploded into tiny pieces and disintegrated.
The boys high-fived at their victory and as they were about to get out a bottle of champagne Alex spotted a giant scorpion-like creature charging at them
"SCOTT LOAD ANOTHER APFSDS-T ROUND NOW" Alex yelled as he moved the cannon the face the deathstalker and fired the cannon *KABOOOOM* the deathstalker tilted forward slightly and the round just bounced off its top armour.
"SCOTT LOAD AN HEAT-FS NOW MOVE MOVE MOVE" Alex yelled as he tried to keep aim on the scorpion creature
"EAT THEIS YOU MOTHERFU"*KAAABOOOOOOM*Fiering the cannon the scorpion took a direct hit to the face and then a flash as the high explosive warhead went off and then a huge cloud of smoke. Still looking through the scope of the cannon Alex saw four girls stood where the giant scorpion once stood.
The first one is fairly short and looks to be quite young no older than about 15. She has jet black hair and wheres a black blouse, a black waist cincher and a skirt with red trimming, a red hooded cloak and a black belt with lots of large cartridges that looked to be about .50 BMG size and has a silver rose on her belt. She has black boots with a red band around them and she has rather pale skin and looks to be carrying a giant scythe that is twice her size.
The next one looked to be ever so slightly taller and no older than 16-17. She has hair as white as fresh snow and has very pale skin like the first girl. She was wearing a pale blue bolero jacket over a similarly coloured thigh length dress. She seemed to have an apple shaped neckless and a pair of earrings in the shape of rectangles and had white heeled wedge boots that went up to mid calf. She is carrying what looks to be a rapier with her.
The next girl was just ever so slightly taller again and she had midnight black hair and rather pale skin similar to that of the other two girls she had a nice little bow on the top of her head. She is wearing a black buttoned vest with a white sleeveless shirt underneath the vest that is showing part of her midriff. She has white shorts that might be connected to her shirt although it is partly covered by her vest. Her shorts have a zip in front of each leg. She is wearing stocking that start of black at the to and end with a purple colour at the bottom. The stocking has a white flower emblem on them. She has black low-healed boots. She looks to be carrying a katana with a gun built on to the handle with ribbons trailing off of them and an oversized sheath.
The next girl is noticeably taller than the rest and looks to be about 17-18 years of age. She looks to be wearing some sort of tan leather vest top with a yellow low-cut crop top underneath with a black burning heart emblem. she has golden hair the vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs and the cuffs look to have golden buttons on them. She is wearing a brown leather looking belt with a buckle a pouch and what looks to be like a banner with the same burning heart emblem but this on is in gold. She is where black short shorts and what looks to be like a pleated skirt in behind it. She looks to have a large goldey yellow colour bracelets with a ring of red cylinders inset into it and what looks like the end of a 1911 barrel poking out the bottom.
