Drake was having a hard time navigating his way through the cave system; he had to get out of this cave. There was no way he could fight against a mage much less one in a War frame.
As he ran he kept calling out, "Here Kitty, kitty, kitty! Sylvester! Oh Sylvester, where is that cat?"
(WN: if you have watched Looney Toons you will recognize this part.)
The large monstrosity roared in rage at the provocation as it barreled its way through the cave system.
Drake had succeeded in putting some distance between himself and the war frame that was having problems moving properly thanks to the cramped space in the caves, and enraged roars kept coming from behind him as it kept chasing.
He suddenly came to an abrupt stop. "Sylvester, there you are! I've been looking everywhere for you." Just ahead was the towering frame of what he had been looking for, or at least what he had been looking for had found him.
Grade 2 Magical Beast; Fierce Tiger!
Grrr!!!
The beast growled as it took a step forward in Drake's direction causing Drake to take a step back himself.
"How dare you growl at me! Didn't your mother teach you better?"
Roar!
"To bite the hand that feeds you, ungrateful. Just you wait I'll fix you up right now."
With a roar, the beast immediately pounced at this prey.
"Crap, this thing is faster than the war frame." He hastily turned tail running back to the war frame.
Just then, the metal monster realized the guy who had been running away from it had suddenly turned around and started running back at it, "You know what? I have had enough of you bullying me. You wanna fight? Come at me, if you don't get a proper beating, I'll write my name backwards from now on." Drake yelled.
Die!!!
The large fist was thrown and Drake dodged sliding in between its legs. But just as it was about to turn, out of no where an enraged roar came and a large tiger pounced on the giant.
This was the Grade two magical beast tiger that had been guarding the cave entrance.
After it had finished enjoying the meal Drake had left it, it had returned to its cave however an annoying sound soon started coming from deeper into the cave. When it went to investigate it came up on the smell of blood, after finding the first few bodies, it continued on deeper into the cave system. It had found body after body and to be honest it had been enjoying the all you can eat buffet if not for that annoying sound. But then suddenly out of no where, this puny human had appeared in front it and was insulting it. 'Not only did the human trespass its territory but to even insult it, how dare he?'
It immediately charged forward, it would definitely use this idiot as a tooth pick, but before it could even catch this tiny human it ran into something else. These bastards were looking down on it by trespassing in its territory, it was instantly enraged, "if it didn't teach them a lesson, they would think it was a toothless tiger.'
The two engaged in an all out brawl.
"Let me introduce you! Gypsy, this is Sylvester, Sylvester Gypsy Danger. Oh I've never seen Sylvester this happy before, he's extra clingy today, he must really like you. I'll leave you two alone, so you can get to know each other." Drake spouted some nonsense.
(WN: Anyone who has seen Pacific Rim should recognize Gypsy Danger.)
"So that's a War frame! I thought they would be better looking. I guess that's another reason why you shouldn't trust everything you see on ads." He said over his comm.
"They actually do look better in real life, it's just that this contraption is something some amateur put together." The lazy voice replied over the comm.
Drake nodded then quickly ran for the room the scientists were in. he knew he couldn't handle the war frame so he had thought of introducing it to the Grade two tiger so they could duke it out. Now that was underway he had to get the scientists out of the cave system quickly since he didn't know how long those two would be at it.
He soon reached the room with the scientists, "Okay everybody, time to go. We need to get to someplace safe while, those two are still cuddling so move."
They quickly organized and ran into the cave system,
Drake was leading up front with the female scientist coming up behind him and the two men to bring up the rear. However, just as they came up on a turn in the dark Drake's danger sense kicked in and he hastily turned and pushed the female scientist away only for a large palm to smack Drake into the wall.
"Either whoever thought you how to play hide and seek was a bad teacher or you really missed the point. I'm starting to think it's the second one." Drake pulled the pistol behind him with his right and fired at the massive hulking figure that stood before him but an energy shield sprang into existence blocking his rapid fire, and with another swing it smacked the gun out of his grip. He quickly drew his sword from his back with his other hand only for his arm to be caught half way then his other arm was griped and he was raised suspended a few feet from the ground level.
Only now did he manage to get a clear look at the giant robot. It stood about five meters tall it looked like a robot wearing a suit of armor with a single sharp horn jutting from its forehead. It looked like it was forged from steel.
He also noticed it was battered, with dents all over, that was probably thanks o the magical beast.
"Hey can you please not throw me around? You're making me dizzy. Can't we just talk about our feelings? You know what they say 'Use your words, violence is never the answer.'" Drake groaned and shook the fairies out of his vision.
"You want to talk now?" a voice emerged from the horned humanoid robot and steam expelled as the chest area opened up to reveal the terrorist leader. He didn't look very injured, as expected its much harder to kill a mage than a regular person.
"Of course, here I'll even do you one better I'll introduce myself first. How did that guy put it again? 'Hi, I'm your friendly neighborhood spider man. You must be angry Rhino.' You wanna talk? let's talk I'm a good listener. I'll even let you go first." Drake nodded animatedly.
(WN: I don't think I need to explain who Spider man and Rhino are.)
"You are not Spider man, you're Paragon!"
"Oh! You recognize me? What gave it away?" Drake said, sounding somewhat surprised that this guy recognized him.
"No one else wears the Obsidian sword insignia and kills people then acts like it's some joke. Only Paragon, the assassin that's said to have mastered every weapon and combat style, the only ordinary human to kill three hundred special trained guards and their employer in thirty minutes all while acting like it was some TV commercial he was acting in."
"Good times, good times!" Drake smiled proudly as if proud of his accomplishments.
"You killed my people." The man growled.
"Who me? Who told you that nonsense? Lies! I have never harmed a Rhino in my entire life. This is slander, slander I tell you. I'll tell you what, you just set me loose and I'll make sure they're tried, quartered and hanged. What do ya say?" Drake protested with righteous indignation and proposed.
"You dare deny it after every thing you've done tonight?!"
"Tonight?! Oh you meant those guys? Those weren't your people, those were terrorists. Very nasty people that don't care about the wildlife, and polar bears and the ice caps and global warming, you know very nasty lowlifes, lower than even scum. It's a good thing I came along and got rid of them or who knows what harm they could cause to good old Mother nature. Whew, luckily we got that misunderstanding cleared up. How about you let me down now, yeah?" he nodded comically.
"You think this is funny?"
"Hey you might not be a real Rhino with your mechanical paws, but you don't see me laughing. If anyone's to be blamed, I think it should be the guys that designed the damn thing. What were they thinking?"
"You watch too much children's cartoon."
"Hey, it's anime and it's for all ages. There's even some that even kids shouldn't watch." Drake frowned and scolded in displeasure.
"Cartoons, anime there's no difference. It's for children!" He snorted.
"Gasp! How dare you compare anime with cartoons? I should have you flogged for this transgression." Drake squirmed and kicked exaggeratedly.
"Shut up! I should rip you apart right now." the man grinded his teeth.
"Yeah no ripping please, I just got these new underwear. Hey I know, since we're making breakthroughs with getting to know each other and all, why don't we just take a picture instead." Drake proposed.
"For once I couldn't agree with you more. The look on you face when you're split in half will be a good addition to my photo album," he grinned evilly
"Let's take one now, say cheese"
"Cheese!"
Flash!!!
"Aargh!"
The terrorist boss screamed painfully and dropped Drake while reflexively covering his eyes as a blinding light from Drake's glasses pierced right into his eyes temporarily stripping him of his sight. He hadn't expected that Drake's glasses could be used in such a way.
"What was that? You still wanna play Marco-polo? Okay I'll play, When you say Marco I say polo." He clapped and side stepped an incoming fist.
"Fuck you!" He roared swinging his large fists at Drake but he ducked and dodged the fist.
"Wrong you're supposed to say Marco." Drake corrected. With a flip he dodged yet another attack. Just then he noticed his pistol lying on the ground behind the five meter tall clumsy giant.
"You know I'm starting to think you're just not cut out for this game, so I'll change it to an easy one that I'm sure you'll be awesome at. It's a game of tag, you wanna play?" Drake shouted and the large fist came again in a large backhand swing.
"You just shut up!" The man yelled as he swung. His eyes were finally clearing up so he could finally see exactly where Drake was. Drake also noticed his vision was clearing up. so he took this chance before the terrorist's vision would be completely restored and slid between the giants massive legs to the other side and picked up his pistol.
He immediately raised it and fired several shots at the giant but he was a little slow because just then the chest area completely closed off and it had activated its energy shield.
"Even if you have armor piercers, your bullets can't harm me through my energy shield. Just let me get my hands on you, I'll grind your bones and tear out your tendons, then I'll feed you to my dogs. I'll make sure your death is excruciatingly painful." He roared and reached for Drake.
"Wow, so extreme just because of a game of tag I better make sure I don't get caught then." Drake replied not panicking.
Die!
Drake immediately retreated dodging the incoming fist, "Nope missed me."
Bang!
Drake fired a round into the walking monstrosity's knee joint, "Tag, you're it."
Bang!
He fired another round, this time into the elbow joint of the arm he had just dodged, "Tag! You're it!"
"Stand still you annoying little insect so I can crush you."
"Nu-uh."
Bang!
"I said hold!"
"Nope!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He fired several shots into several other joints on the war frame.
"You know the thing about these first generation iron man suits is they're always the worst version." Drake talked as he worked on the war frame, it seemed the tiger had done quite a number on it and even the terrorist leader was exhausted.
Bang!
This time the armor piercer hit the same place it had hit before on the left knee joint and it completely shattered the knee joint of the metal monstrosity.
Bang! (The second knee).
Drake suddenly started to sing Kendrick Lamar's track 'Humble' as he shot.
Be humble; hold up
Bang! (The left elbow).
Sit down! Hold up little,
Bang! (The right elbow).
Be humble; hold up
Bang! (The left shoulder).
Sit down! Hold up little,
Bang! (The right shoulder).
Be humble; hold up
Bang! (This time it went into the steel chest plate that was shielding the war frames pilot damaging it).
Sit down!
