Chronoluxia era 446. outskirts of Khasalit.
There are all kind of broken vehicles, shipwreck and ruin skyscrappers in this deserted field. These ruin was often visited by mechanics who jobs and live was to salvage these ruined object. Are groups was like that to.
Nadilik Reinyik was the group leader. A bunny Hanabaks. She has a unique look. Her fur was jetblack whit big spot of red, one little red around her left eye. Her fur was white around her hand like glowes. She has long floppy ears. Her hair was also red, with a short cute wave hair cut.
She was in her work clothes. White shirt, with brown short pants. Nothing too fancy, thus why she don't really liked her work clothes, She was obsessed with fancy and frilly clothes, one piece dresses. But for these job it would be a huge pain, wearing those.
The job was a self claimed one, to salvage a shipwreck in the outskirt. A storage ship.
The group is already deep in the ruined ship. There isn't much of a natural light. They are in deep enought to the sun light not being able to be their companion.
Nadilik is carrying a lantern with herself. She don't have the ability of nigh vision, so the lamp, lanters, or even torches if noting else could be find is a "must" and a "go to".
*clank* *clank*
Nadilik is searching for certain conpoment.
"Hurray, Ion battery. It is a bit dented, and rusted."
Nadilik examining the Ion batteries. Rotating in her hand, scratchig the rusted part.
"If i could removed the rust, it could be worth 7 nedlyk. Without the dent i would be 10 nedlyk. But that will be a so much work. I don't think that worth the extra work."
*clank*
Nadilik pulled one scrap of the renmants of the wall console.
"Look what we get this time."
It was a broken niglide gear, as it now it is almost worthless. Only reused material was the selling option.
"Oh man, this is worthless, i could only get 2 or 3 tikru of it."
About one hour of search and salvage, Nadilik have 3 ion batteries, which of two are dented and one was fine. One servo what was all covered with rust.
"This all in sum will be 36 Nedlyk, 46 Hossuin.
Guys do you find anything?"
"3 hydro pump, and a damaged nitrix reactor"
Answered Hajiki Kiuernia, by the tele-communicant.
"16m of mitrixoil cable, with density one"
Answered Reweka Hassen, by the tele-communicant
"A black box, it's all dented and rusted. There is writing on the box: Chronoxia era 846. Open only with permission. Property of the minister of Chronokhasio."
Answered Gallahed Klassiwnev, by the tele-communicant.
"What did you find Klassiwnev!? Say that you find more thing other than that box!."
Nadilik was shocked hearing about what Gallahed found. She isn't impressed, only because she don't know how much money they can make of that box.
"I think it will sell much, if this is what bother you."
"How do you think it will sell much. We don't even know what is in that box. And 'minister of Chronokhasio'? That country is dead, it was fallen at Chronokentaxi era 46. Around 5 century ago, or even more. Don't you think it will be suspicious to sell a few thousand years old box of an extinc country?"
"Yeah, you maybe right"
"Just maybe?"
Nadilik and Gallahed was arguing, mostly Nadilik. Two thing was which broke the argument. One was just a light tease from Hajiki.
"Guys you will have another times to flirt with each other. Now we need to collect salvaged parts."
"Thank you Hajiki ~. This was a good compliment. But aside that, this is how you supposed to talk to the groupleader?"
"Eheheh"
A slight and faint laught from Hajiki.
The other thing was which broke the arguing couple is a more serious one.
*siren noise*
"Dammit, say it is only an atomic reactor just went puff."
Said Hajiki after hearing the siren.
That thing was common in the Scrapdepartmen. The reactor in there mostly hundred years old and damaged.
*Siren noise*
" Please be the 'atomic reactor went puff' thing the one what ringed the siren. I really don't want to deal with Hanaless. "
Nadilik was complaining and praying at the same time
*siren noise*
"Warning, This is not a drill.
type of danger: hanaless.
levels of danger: 3.
type of monster: wind demon
Every one go the safety bunker. "
"Ohhh, great why don't you broadcast two more monster"
"Hajiki, don't. I do not want to deal two MORE of those, just because you acting cocky. What would happen if it comes to. "
Nadilik tried to stop Hajiki, before the thing have turning worse.
Now they need to gather up and leave this hellish place. They spoke with the tele-communicant with each other.
"We need to get out of here! Who is where?"
"I am in the Captain Hall of this wrecked ship"
"That will be bit of journey. Where are at Powerhouse 2 of the base floor."
"Nadilik even if we tried we couldn't be further to each other. Uggghhh. So where will meet?"
"First we need to know where is Reweka and Klassiwnev."
Nadilik and Hajiki talked about where could they meet. But a sudden noise interrupted the conversation what they have.
*static noise*
...
"guys ar... you se... ing this?"
"Who's speaking?"
"Re..Reweka..."
"I have a bad feeling about it. Hajiki go to the storage 2 floor 2. That is the closest to the building where we can get to the ground."
"Alright"
"Klassiwnev, where are you?"
"... I am at storage 5 at... floor 2."
" That's good, go to storage 2 and wait for Hajiki."
"Okay Reinyik. But what about Reweka?"
"I'll go for her. I am the leader, i need to be sure every one is safe. So go and wait for Hajiki".
The situation is getting worse. Or maybe it was already the worst, just now they start to realize.
"Why was the line so weak when i spoke to Reweka?"
Nadilik thought was all around why and what caused that. She starteg to go the top of this wreck. From the enginhouse she needed to go througt two passenger room floor 2 after that go to floor one storage, warehouse 2. The journey was about 10 minutes at best.
She run all the way. Now she reached the warehouse 2. There was a huge hole in the wall. The was big enough to even a mid-height monster could easly go in and out.
After that hole which one of the 'entrance' of the wreck there was a little balcony. One part of wall. Nadilik meet with one of her groupmate, Reweka.
He was a Hanabak as well. He was somewhat tall. Taller than Nadilik surely. He had wool covered his body, and had a miniature batwings at her back. Not big or strong enough to be able to fly. But big enough to be an eyecatcher. He too, weared a work clothes. White shirt, brown trouser.
His face was terrified. He is already know what he saw. But he couldn't warn the others.
Nadilik saw the terrified look of Reweka's face. She took a look around. There was the the monster far back behind on the horizon. But horrifiengly became larger and larger the shiluette. To a certain point where that thing was close enough to see what is that.
Roughly 3 meter heigh, 1 meter long. It has 6 Limb, they are all feet. All of those ended in scythes, huge and sharp scythes. It was surely looked like a weasel.
*shriek*
The monster war cry was heard all around.
Now, Nadilik knowed for sure what was that monster.
"Ohhh, crap. I think we are doomed.
t-this is a.... Kama..Kamaitachi"
One of the Level 3 demons. A wind demon Kamaitachi, or Sicle Weasel. A Hanaless which can move at sound speed. Has 6 deadly scythes as her arms and feet. Regeneratives ability was strong. It was a really threat if you are in the open air. Even if you hide in building or narrow places was not a good option.
There was always an option, Figth or Run. But in this case run isn't option. Fight is more likely a suicide, if you don't have any heavy weapon and armour. Then there is no question Fight is equal to suicide.
Maybe the best option is to wait and grab the chance while you can.
