"FENRIS SLOW DOWN YOU BLEW UP A GATE TO THE DISTRICT KICKING IT DOWN! PLEASE!"
"AHAHA!! THIS IS EXCITING! PLEASE KEEP GOING TILL WE REACH THE PALACE GATES!"
'Fast! Sick!'
Hearing Princess Rionne and Yuzuha I couldn't help but want to scream at one. She's encouraging a Boss Monster to be destructive and scarily fast! Sighing troubled at my companions' antics I'm suddenly flung against a metal gate. Denting the magic reinforced bars. I got a good look at Rionne being shot at me like a cannonball. She was giggling and screaming happily while only Yuzuha was treated kindly.
'Older than me. She treats me as a pup.'
Well that's unfair I get thrown in suddenly, Rionne probably asked to be thrown, while Yuzuha gets gentle treatment. Brought out of my thoughts by Rionne slamming into me I grunted. The magic gates break off their hinges slightly. Then they flew off as Rionne slid off me, Fenris planting her combat boots into my stomach with a flying kick. She used my body as a surfboard. My health plummeted harshly.
[-15679 HP]
SHE TOOK OUT ALMOST ALL MY HEALTH WITH EVERYTHING JUST DONE. The Boss Monster though just gave me a dirty dirty look with amusement in her eyes. Yuzuha looked worried about my predicament as she jumped down onto my face.
'Shin alright?'
'No but I will be. Just Fenris being violent for no reason.'
'Kuu but she said you caused her mate grief so she'd get you back.'
'.... When did she say this?'
'When she threw you.'
Fenris got off me when Rionne jogged over pretty excitedly as knights looked on confused. The princess waved them off as she pulled me up then led us inside. Fenris stored her guitar with a soft sigh after realizing she still had it out. As we entered the palace I couldn't help but take in a few things. Fenris though simply spoke without any respect.
"A Player Guild House? Hmm… possibly what this place used to be since those gates were too high of skill for this era. Eh still shit though I could wag my tail and make it disappear into rubble. Locky would nuke it. He has nukes in his inventory because why not?"
Hearing one part of her random monologue though I stopped and looked at her. Blinking before slowly asking my question. Terrified. It's Lockhart, he has nukes, STILL.
"Fenris… how many does he still have?"
"He had six hundred still in his inventory but he had twenty-six thousand still in Nomads storage, in a cage. They are living weapons like cursed weapons. So when he opened the storage door and screamed nukes, they all made a ruckus of excitement."
".... Please say he has no plans for them."
"He said if certain bosses or demon classes show up, he's going nuclear."
Great…. Nukes in the hands of Kaiser…. There used to be an island during the game for rare monsters. But because people were abusing the spot Kaiser teleported over to and above the island. Holding a small black sphere saying "You wanna be dicks and abuse my dear monsters? Well fuck you, good bye my sweet monsters I'll put you elsewhere." During a live in game feed as he tossed the sphere into the air then let it fall. An island the size of Africa, was destroyed like that.
The forums were in an uproar but a majority were laughing at how blatant he just dropped a nuke. He killed all those on the island currently abusing the monsters and killing Players. His response in the forums though was something even I had to laugh at.

He can be an asshole but he was a very humorous one during the pre-death game bit. Plus he actually made some adorable monsters that mauled you if you touched its baby out of sight, but adorable nonetheless. As he has a degree in video game design and zoology yet he was a soldier for some reason…
[Mind Control, Possessed]
Suddenly popped up in my vision when I glanced at one of the people roaming about. He was messing with a teleport circle console. What's worse is the mind control was pretty high in effect. Mentioning this to Rionne and Fenris we went to stop him but as we stepped into the room. The teleport circle activated yet Fenris was excited yet angered as her nose twitched.
"Found you bitch and I smell Lockhart's blood."
Hearing her I stopped trying to stop the mind controlled individual and looked at her. As the light engulfed us from the circle activating I couldn't help but hear Rionne cackle. Along with Yuzuha curiously asking something.
"So fate is sending us to the missing man you seek and his kidnapper? Must say for once an evil plot against my family is useful."
'Kuu could he fix me?'
<< Yuzuha POV >>
We appeared in a strange foggy city but the smell upon arriving made me somewhat sick. Inside the fog are scattered rotted or rotting and burning corpses of monsters. The smell of blood thick in the air as metal fragments and strange casings line various areas. Some buildings are also broken from battle as blood smears sections. Shin looking around along with Fenris seems to recognize what the fog is about.
"Looks like a maze event that Locky talked about before."
"Yeah it is, those glowing orbs are what we need to follow otherwise we'll get punished."
"Given what fucking runs this place it probably triggered this to lure us somewhere specific."
As if to answer the plague beast the sound of a loud strange explosion rings out. The fog stirred as the pressure from the explosion lashed out from its location. The smell of something bleeding heavily tickled my nose and likely Fenris's nose. She didn't stick around after it went off with her changing forms and darting off on all fours. Shin and Rionne started to get a move on as well to catch up to our companion.
Much to any lurking monsters' displeasure, Miss Fenris wanted nothing to do with them. They all met their end with plague spheres hitting them and killing them instantly. Although her methods certainly helped us arrive faster to our goal. What greeted us though was simply… horrifying to see.
A Human male in tattered clothing with one arm missing and various grievous wounds. Stood on a Griffin shooting it with something repeatedly. The state of the Human though was truly just ghastly to take in without feeling disturbed. He stood with an all but missing right leg pinning the monster down as a strange blue substance leaked from the wounds on it. His upper body was in tatters with chunks of flesh and visibly missing organs. Some hung outside of his body in plain sight slightly pulsating.
His heart is long destroyed yet the remains pulsate as his rib cage is missing. Parts of his head and jaw are missing entirely yet this Human is not dead. His only remaining eye is glossing over slowly, death encroaching upon the strange Human. Fenris has stilled however, her eyes blank as she takes in the sight of her mate. A pained whine full of remorse escaping her throat.
The next we know is she has appeared by the Human's side gently pulling him away. He single mindedly attacked still even as she wrapped her arms around his form, covering him dark golden healing light that is sickly. He healed at a visible rate but limbs he lost stayed lost to him. Clarity seemed to return to him a bit before he leaned on Fenris and hummed tiredly. The healing Griffin glaring at the two as it coughed up blue blood.
"How have you not died?! I destroyed everything, CORRUPTED YOU WITH MY ESSENCE, YET YOU DEFY YOUR NEW MASTER OLD GOD!! GIVE ME THAT BODY ALREADY!"
The response was from the man who should've long been dead. A blank look on his face as he hummed still as if in a dream.
"Bitch I'm too sexy for your feathery ass. Weak attempts don't pass my class skills, as long as I have a mission~. A mission is everything to a soldier~ follow the directive like a stubborn bastard~ kill all opposition~ hold your ground till nothings left~! Mmm very realistic illusions though, psychosis must be playing with me~!"
He's…. Out of it and his weapon is still firing off projectiles somehow. Shin though seems slightly amused with a chuckle when he speaks.
"A delirious Kaiser with a magic powered LMG in one hand just firing away. Best wake him up briefly so he can finally sleep and possibly fix himself."
"Hmmm~? How do you plan on waking your friend? Lady Fenris seems to be being protective right now."
Shin chuckled softly while drawing a sword and getting into a stance to strike. His eyes focused on the monster which should be the Guardian as a Griffin would be dead by now. His voice firm as he screamed something odd at the man still attacking the creature.
"Colonel Lockhart! Enemy pacified and reinforcements are here! So please stop shooting, you'll hit your dog!"
The rather odd things my partner screamed seem to do something though. The weapon that's been constantly firing magic projectiles stops with the man looking around groggily. His eye landed on us, then the griffin, and finally the one most worried about him. He shrugged his remaining shoulder lazily before seeming to embrace his worried mate. A tired cackle of a laugh echoes slowly, Shin chuckling at the response happily.
"Oh I'm in hell I see if Shin's here playing soldier. Damn I'm tired but I have a fluffy bitch in a trench coat hugging me so I'm good. Mmm~ one eye and an arm down as well I see, oh well I'll restore them later. For now I wanna sleep…"
Like that Miss Fenris gently sat down with the now sleeping Human. His head in her lap with an ear against her abdomen intentionally. A clawed hand running through the blood matted hair of her mate affectionately. Before suddenly her head shoots up from looking at him affectionately. Very… corrupted plagued fire erupting from her maw like a dragon's flame. The griffin avoids it narrowly only to meet Shin's blade.
<< Fenris POV >>
As I held my beloved Lockhart in my lap with him sleeping peacefully for the first time in a while. I watched the ensuing fight between Shin, the female Human, and Guardian. My plagued fire burns and snakes around through the environment chasing the Guardian. The attack being one of my favorites that Locky had designed as a wild card. You don't expect a wolf to spit diseased flames at you, unless you've met me.
The shallow breaths from Lockhart are easing up slowly over time with me still healing him. His body relaxed as I rested his head close to my stomach, yet ready to react if needed. The smell of the sociopath skill was very thick currently though meaning he will not be expressing much of any emotion for sometime. Which is saddening it'll be like in the Death Game for a bit. However, it is seeming like he'll let something slip for now given his position.
Monster pregnancies are something I'm not quite versed in, besides Goblins, those ugly fucking parasites. So I do not know if my rate in which my pups are developing is normal. But it has me excited yet nervous nonetheless. Simply because I do not know if they'll die from the plagues I'll very likely be releasing given what I may experience. One I feel is already very weak…. Yet something is keeping it stable and it isn't the void.
