View from the Vandal
Sleep was the one thing I never got. Why the hell people liked it so much confused me but it's probably because when I sleep I'm six seconds from insanity. "Initiation time boys get yo asses up" I proceeded to then kick all of good friends awake."Do that again and I'll circumcise you with hedge clippers" Kuma threatened sleepily. I just laughed at the grumpy bear. The boys and I took off to locker room to get ready for war.
One thing I always admired about the boys were their weapons. The boss's great axe collapsed into a beast of a basket hilt sword, pair that with his caseless hand cannon and you understand why he's the boss. Baby bear's gear is a confusing mix that just works. His rifle-bow peppers you constantly while he hides behind his shield. Think getting in his face will save, out come his wrist blades. Last is his family sword set except he keeps those under lock and key. Mek is awesome. It's an undeniable fact. His handy dandy backpack has like twenty different weapons in it.Just thinking about it makes my nose bleed.
As I finally come back to reality the headmaster has finished his speech and people are flying through the air. I can just hear Conrad's blond friend panicking, making me laugh out loud as I launch into the air. Composing myself I whip out my babies, Mac and Leia, I based them off of some old Vacuo war clubs except when they used obsidian blades I use dust blades. Swinging Leia I use the wind dust to rocket me to the ground and as it nears I activate Mac's gravity dust to delete a Beowolf creating a sizable crater. Dusting myself off I look to the sky to see a mechanic with a flaming sword and rocket fist fly by.
I never was never easily scared but seeing a 185 pound teen launch an Ursa and himself into air with a fire sword as big as himself while taunting it is a little unsettling. It looked like he had it handled so I stood back and used my shotgun to take out stragglers. Also my shotgun is a work of art, full auto mag fed and combinable with Mac and Leia to make a double barrel sniper I named Adonis. Looking back to see how Mek was doing I saw him cleave through three Grimm an electric axe-guitar then hit a power chord to shock two more. "Is that really necessary" I asked him playfully "Yes" he deadpanned. I just burst out laughing and slugged his shoulder "Let's go find the others".
We took off into the woods in search of our lost teammates. On our way we passed some badass Mistrali dueling a bigass snake with two dinky SMG. I would've helped but I saw a ginger watching in a tree and figured he had it handled. After running half a marathon we finally found our beloved leader and less beloved bear. It's always a sight to see Conrad fight Grimm, a fight between a soulless monster and an another soulless monster but he has a gun. Using a mix of heavy slashes and precise shots, he adds another Ursa to the kill count. "So do you guys know where we're supposed to be or we gotta keep looking" I ask after the Grimm guts dissolve. "Oh yeah we're way past it I thought we should find them before we continued on" Mek answered. Fuck my life.
After we finish the other half off the marathon, we burst into a clearing with many platforms and only two chess pieces. "Of course we get the pawns" Kuma commented "You know it's kinda fitting we kinda suck" Mek replied back as I watch a team of chicks rip the head off a massive fuckin bird in the background. "I agree but counterpoint eat shit" I told him as I walked back to Beacon.
As the old fart blabbed on about the different teams and who led them I had to sit there as my head throbbed as all the useless incoming information pinged around in brain. Then I felt a slight burn on my hand. "I know think about your hand, how the dust burns, how it interacts with your aura" Conrad said while pushing some fire dust into my palm, trying to soothe my aching head. "Conrad Betteln, Kai Kodiak, Manolo Messiah, Victor Infeugeo, you will be Team CKIM(Chicken), led by Conrad Betteln" "Are" "You" "Fuckin" "Serious?!"
