Anyways, I had a hard time writing this chapter since the Forest isn't really exciting... and the mood changes a bit but, then again, fighting isn't usually funny >.>
The Legend of the White Delesaber
Chapter 2
In the blink of an eye, Gem and Cap arrive in the Forest and begin to scout the room for anything useful.
"Gem, by the way, you got a---"
"Nope, you'll have to find a weapon. Check those crates."
Rather displeased, Cap walks over to the crates in hopes of getting a decent weapon. "Forest crates never carry anything good. . ." With one swift kick, the first of the two crates is opened revealing a technique disk. Out of curiosity, Gem glances over at Cap with a chuckle. "Leaving that tech disk there? You could use that!" With an annoyed look, Cap shatters the next crate in hope of something of use for himself and is rather satisfied when an orange box appears. Without any hesitation, the box is opened and to Cap's mood changes to utter dissatisfaction. The weapon is a Cane.
"Well, shit."
"Let's just get going Cap."
Gem whips out two modified Railguns from seemingly nowhere while Cap reluctantly holds of his Cane.
"You really need both of those? C'mon, all I got is this Cane."
"If I loan you one of these, I'll never get it back. . . you'll end up breaking it."
"Those are still working aren't they? And not every weapon I make---"
"Yeah, well are you carrying a weapon now?"
". . . Let's just go."
The Boomas start digging out of the ground while wolves show up from the bushes. Gem begins walking forward, firing away with deadly accuracy while Cap stays at the room's entrance tinkering with the Cane. "Hey, at least do something!" Ignoring this last statement, Cap rips the Cane's head off revealing the weapon's internal wiring, which is quickly rewired. The photon spot on the cane head's glows brightly and brings a smile to Cap's face. The glowing head is pocketed as Cap steps forward with the metal rod held in two hands. Unfortunately, there are almost no enemies left to fight.
"You could have saved some for me."
"You could've been a little quicker."
Luckily for Cap, a Booma begins to walk up to him obviously looking for a meal. Unluckily for the Booma, it can't see the fact his "meal" is holding a metal rod and waiting to swing it. The poor creature steps within range, leveling it's claw. Cap gives a skull busting swing to the Booma's head causing a sickening cracking noise and a small blood spurt. Cap glances at his pipe revealing the killing blow he delivered bent his weapon. With one swift motion, the bent pipe is thrown across the room into the final Booma. A loud *PING* is followed up by a red photon shot that travels straight through the Booma's head and into the wall. Without a word, both Hunters search the room for anything of value and move on.
"Cap, this will be the last room so actually do something."
"I didn't have a decent weapon. You find anything in the last room?"
With slight hesitation, Gem throws Cap two orange boxes, one containing a broken Autogun while the other holds a single Dagger.
"I see you gave me the items with the least value."
"We make less money if you trash good weapons."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is an easy fix anyway."
Cap powers off his Dagger and cracks it in two revealing some wires while the Autogun has it's side panel ripped off exposing a circuit board. With a few quick motions, the powered off Dagger is loaded into the Autogun filling the space the side panel once covered giving the gun a rather strange look. The Dagger is powered back on and causes the dead photon rod to glow a teal color. Pistols in hand, the pair walks into the next and final room with some better luck. Three Hildbears and a Hildblue show up. Within a flash, Gem clashes her Railguns together causing a red curved blade to come out the front of each. "Ok Cap, I admit, these have to be the only weapons you've made that actually stayed together." With a smirk, Cap takes the Cane head he pocketed earlier and comments on Gem's last statement. "It's truly unfortunate that everything I make can't last." Upon hearing these words, Gem charges one of the Hildbears and wildly slashes at it with her gun-blades while Cap levels his modded pistol to the second Hildbear's head.
"Let's see. . . this gun should have three shots until it drains the Dagger's photon supply."
"I really don't care, just get to work."
The pistols trigger is squeezed with Cap receiving some massive recoil and the Hildbear receiving a large photon shot to the head, which incinerates its horn. "I missed? I need to practice more often. . ." Another squeeze leaves the Hildbear with half a head, while blood, bone, and brain fly in the air. Gem on the other has simply mauled the other one. "So Cap, you got these?" The Hildblue and Hildbear are walking up to Cap, side by side. "Oh yes Gem, I got this." With a quick motion, the Cane head is sent soaring through the air in the monsters' direction while Cap aims his gun for one final shot. "Boom." The final teal blast shatters the pistol and nails the glowing Cane head that is still airborne resulting in a huge explosion of green fire. When the smoke clears, all that remains are bits and pieces of the Hildbear's, bloodstains, and charred grass. "Cap, grab that Hildblue's head! It didn't get destroyed!" Sure enough, the head somehow managed to stay intact after the great explosion. The process of collecting everything in the room is repeated and the pair head back to Pioneer Two.
