THE DARK CITY ARC BEGINS | 1
Unfolding from what seemed like thin air was a long rapier, the hinge a crystallian bronze. Lifting the blade towards Samo, Clay spoke out-
Clay: Ever since Atlus engulfed our City, you Curses have been leaching on us survivors. Neither I, nor Brian, nor Robin- shall let you hurt anyone else...ANYMORE.
Samo Hatu: I don't know what the fuck your talking about man, but you better put that weapon down. Call it a warning, I'm feeling nice today. And plus, I ain't at my full potential, took a real beating the other day- I think it's best if we both go out separate ways.
Clay: Are you afraid...or are you a coward?
Samo Hatu: I really should be getting back to the Guild soon. Guess I can make an exception, you asked for this though. SO DON'T START BEGGING WHEN I'M DONE WITH YA'.
GUNSLINGER SPIRIT REVOLVER | CHAMBER UNFOLD - BASTION 77
77 hollow shells within 6 bullet shells, colliding with the debree off the edge of the dilapidated buildings. Combined with the spirit of the Wolf, gauging towards the desired target.
Dust covered the field, from the shadows came Clay, unscaved. And almost too calm to care.
Clay: You don't get it so you Curse- I may not have my sight. But my other attributes, my senses are heightened beyond anything you could comprehend.
Samo Hatu: Then how can't you smell that shit going on around here?
Clay: The plague, the death, the rot? I smell all of it- EVERY DAMN DAY.
Clay pushed off the back of his heels towards Samo, just barely landing a hit into his arm- a stand still began as both held their ground.
Samo Hatu: Nah, you don't get it- it's more like a totem. Like someone is performing some kinda ritual, YOU GOTTA LISTEN YOU IDIOT. Cause as pissed off as I am, I don't wanna kill some jackass who lost his home.
Clay: YOU ARE LYING, YOU ARE A CURSE- TRYING TO MANIPULATE ME. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A LYING CURSE.
Samo Hatu: *sighs* Dammit, I guess I gotta take you out. Just so you know, I really did try to hold back.
PSYCHO ABILITY: ACTIVATE - WOLF KNIGHT | HOWLS AURA OF MOON DIVINITY
The small cracks of light peering through the seems of the Mountaintop grew ever so dark. As the night became still. A howl engulfed in flames, a soulless enchantment borrowed from a dormant ability.
Samo Hatu: You're a strong guy, I don't think my ability on its own can beat you. So I gotta use this instead, I really hate using it...
Clay: SO YOU ARE A CURSE, YOU FINALLY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH- FINALLY I CAN KILL YOU WITH NO REGRET.
Samo Hatu: I don't give a shit about you're dumbass curse bullshit. I'm marked by Death, since birth. Call it an empowerment, and enchantment. Even a curse, hell- all I know is when I'm low on gas it works. Even if it's some kinda disease or plague.
Clay: How thoughtful, a made up story to seek noble before you die.
Samo Hatu: Time to sleep, sorry about this once again.
Caitlyn: HUNTER STOP..
Samo Hatu: Son of a bitch, these idiots followed me here.
Desmond: Hey man, whoever this guy is- just leave him alone. He's blind, plus- this place smells like shit, and death.
Clay: These are people, they...know you?
Samo Hatu: I told you I ain't no fucking curse.
Clay began to cry as he fell to his knees
Desmond: *alarmed* Woah man I'm sorry if we made you upset, my bad *hehe*.
Caitlyn: You seek troubled stranger, what is wrong?
Clay: I apologize Hunter, our home is broken. I could have sworn you were one of them, do accept my apology.
Samo Hatu: *awkwardly* Yea, sure man- whatever stops us from fighting. I didn't have to actually use an attack so I still got fuel in the tank. *Phew*
Clay: The truth is, this City was once known as Fondehr, the City of wind- the breeze from the mountain skyline would glow in, and the people who lived here would live off the land. Their was once trees, and beautiful avenues... Until he came...
Caitlyn: Who came, someone bad?
Clay: Atlus, and his plague he brought with him. He shifted to look like one of us... And then he entrapped our friends and turned them...into curses. They were strong, but they weren't the same... They ravaged, and murdered our people. We tried to fight back...but we were too weak.
Samo Hatu: This Atlus guy, he's gotta have something to do with that scent. So if I go find him, and take care of him- you and your pals can get your home back?
Caitlyn: How noble of you Hunter, trying to sneak your way out of being Court Marshalled.
Samo Hatu: I don't give a damn about that, you catch me and I'll turn myself in. But I'm a hunter at heart- whether you wanna believe I'm a noble or not.
Desmond: Can we all stop with the hostility for a moment? This man needs our help, and we have the strength to do it.
Clay: Hunter, humans- you can not beat Atlus and The Plague Curses. They are five hundred times the strength of an avid Psycho User. And Atlus...
Samo Hatu: We got this man, whether I wanna have these idiots tag along or not. I'm bored, so I can take a few swings at a few curses.
Desmond: We might not look like much, but I felt the abilities of the Hunter, he's a hell of a lot stronger than me. Even if I don't respect what he does.
Samo Hatu: Watch it kid, or I'll come for you next.
Caitlyn: Let us help you...
LET US STOP THIS ATLUS, AND HIS GROUP OF CURSES.
The Church
Jack the Ripper: I can smell it, something else is here. A wolf, an ice boy, and a warrior from the woods. They smell strong, Siren- take care of the fodder far out.
Siren: Yes Jack, anything for Lord Atlus.
Headless: Sending out her, why can't I ever take care of the trash?
Jack: Because Headless, you'd destroy half of our beautiful haven in the process. Isn't that right Lord Atlus....
From a stained glass window stop the palace and eye emerged. The size of a village- peering into the city.
Clay: One more thing, Atlus- he isn't a curse, or some rebel, or even a Demon...
HE'S A GIANT.
