"Damn…" was Cooper's summation to the avalanche he was currently witnessing. He just hoped nobody was on top of that mountain when they both landed. Of course he could only hope, searching for survivors would be his first priority after BT completes their system diagnostics.

"BT, Status report?"

"PROTOCOL 1 – LINK TO PILOT, SUCCSESFUL."

"PROTOCOL 2 – UPHOLD THE MISSION, OUR OBJECTIVE IN DESTROYING THE ARK WEAPON HAS NOT BEEN ACHIEVED DUE TO THE UNKNOWN PHENOMENON CAUSED BY THE ARK, COOPER WE MUST ASCERTAIN WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY AS THE SURROUNDING ENVIREONMENT DOES NOT MATCH ANY KNOWN PLANETS WITHIN THE FRONTIER DATABSE."

X - Yeah I definitely figured that one out BT.

V – Elementary, my dear BT.

"Yeah I definitely figured that one out BT."

"ONCE WE HAVE ASCERTAINED OUR LOCATION, WE WILL BE ABLE TO FORMULATE A PLAN BASED OFF THE GATHERED INFORMATION. COOPER I AM SENDING OUT DISTRESS SIGNALS TO FRONTIER CHANNELS AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE."

Behind his helmet, Cooper grimaced.

"Really? The ARK definitely sent us somewhere far away… but I didn't think it'd be that far, keep trying BT."

"I HAVE NOT CEASED COMMUNICATIONS COOPER."

"Good to know." Acknowledged Cooper.

"PROTOCOL 3 – PROTECT THE PILOT"

Cooper frowned, recalling the actions BT took back at the ARK, the well meaning betrayal was still fresh on his mind.

With a slight pause and rumbling frustration Cooper spoke again.

"…We are gonna talk about the stunt you pulled back at the ARK BT, remember that."

"ACKOWLEDEGED COOPER."

"Thanks…"

Resting his back fully against the cushioned cockpit rest, Cooper turned BT to the peak of the avalanching mountain, he pointed.

"BT I need you to scan the peak of the mountain for survivors, also what's the status on our weapon systems?"

"AFFIRMATIVE COOPER. WEAPON SYSTEMS OFFLINE AND RECHARGING."

Cooper raised an eyebrow.

"What? How come? Did the ARK cause that?"

"CORRECT."

A frustrated grunt came out in response.

"And how long until they're back online?"

"THE EXPEDITION TITAN LOADOUT IS CURRENTLY AT 90%, THE REMAINING TITAN LOADOUTS WILL BEGIN RECHARGING AFTER EACH SUCSESSFUL SYSTEM REBOOT."

Cooper groaned, lying back into his seat, dramatically he punched the roof of his cockpit.

"Damn it… now I can't use Scorch, loved that one."

BT didn't bother with a response.

"Anyways, So about the scans-"

"WARNING. LARGE ORGANISM CONVERGING ON OUR LOCATION."

"What?! Where BT?"

BT turned around and pointed towards the rising slope of the destroyed path they were on, zooming in with the cockpit Cooper saw it.

"Holy…"

On two feet, a large fur covered creature was sprinting towards them

It was, frankly in Cooper's own opinion the devil itself though instead of it being red and with wings attached to it, it was blue, frostbite levels of blue actually, it was also huge, definitely a few feet shorter than BT, not that it took away it's intimidation factor, white fur covered the creatures arms and upper torso up to it's head, with said head having two glowing blue crystal horns sticking out of it's skull. It's lower half of the body was furless with the before mentioned frostbite colored blue and an extremely tiny (covered to it's bulky upper half) waist with some sort of loincloth covering it, lastly the legs and feet were covered with the same white fur.

But most importantly of all? It looked pissed, or at least with it sprinting rapidly towards them both it appeared to be pissed.

"BT! Status report on the expedition weapon system!"

"CURRENTLY AT 92%."

"Damn it! That thing looks it can chase us down! Get ready to fight buddy!"

"COPY THAT PILOT."

Raising BT's arms and curling hand into fists, Cooper Amplified his voice through BT's internal systems, he spoke.

"COME ON UGLY!"

The creature roared in response, it twisted it's body resulting it's in shoulder facing them.

"THE CREATURE IS ATTEMPTING TO SHOULDER RAM-"

"I SEE THAT BUDDY!"

Inches before the shoulder collided, Cooper and BT in unison dashed to the left with the creature missing entirely, gaining an advantage over the evasion, BT and Cooper grabbed the creature as they dodged, throwing the creature into the snow covered ground.

"NICE ONE BT!"/ "WELL EXECUTED COOPER."

Rolling through the snow the creature used it's clawed fist and buried it deep into the ground to stop it's momentum, it punched the ground, hard with a roar accompanying it.

FROSTARM LAWACHURL

[IIII]IIII]IIII]III ]

"BT EXPEDITE STATUS REPORT?"

"CURRENTLY AT 93%"

Cooper groaned, before refocusing on the creature.

It stood up, ready to face the Titan and Pilot duo. What happened next shocked Cooper, roaring once again, it jumped high into the air intent on pancaking both.

Quickly dashing out of the way, the creature shook earth as it landed violently, with ice erupting from the ground stabbing into the sky from the force. It roared as it saw the metal Titan still standing and uncrushed, utilizing it's claw, it charged once again at the duo.

"What the hell!? That's new!"

Whatever this thing was, it wouldn't be an easy kill, that was certain. Winding up a metallic fist, Cooper & BT charged at the Lawachurl.

"GET READY TO CATCH THAT CLAW BT!"

"AFFIRMATIVE."

And so Titan and Lawachurl met. The mountain their playground.
