Re: Anirune Forest - CHAPTER 3
While running with Soldato, Ian was amazing at how powerful the machine was.
"Damn you're good! That troll didn't make you rage!"
Ian held his Raffica more firmly and put his finger over the trigger.
"Sorry for not trying to shoot those things. I'm a terrible shot with guns of any kind, I guess due to my lack of depth-perception..."
The machine did not look very interested.
"Well...umm...anyway...sorry for not helping out."
"It is fine, Ian."
"Err...thanks..."
Ian continued to walk awkwardly next to his metal companion, observing everything around him. He listened deeply to the trees and the leaves as they rustled about in the wind, and the footsteps of he and Soldato. He listened to the mechanical pieces that appeared to make Soldato function, and the distant fighting. He checked the colors of the trees and the flora around him, noticing the increasing amount of gunpowder, dust, ash, and blood layered onto the trees. But something was off. Ahead was a small mound, nothing usually unnatural. But the appearance was off about this mound, the proportions were too exact, a very unnatural occasion. It became more and more obvious that the mound in front of them was no mound...
"STOP!"
"What is it?" the machine asked, halting abruptly.
"Watch..."
Ian picked up a large stone laying around on the ground. He tossed it at the mound, and the mound presently exploded, with a curious electrical pulse coming out of it. Ian recognized this sort of pulse. It was an electro magnetic pulse.
"Shit!" he said, eyes darting around.
"They have EMP mines scattered about!"
He then heard something else unnatural. It was something in the forest...
And then, from the tall trees came a large party of about 36 noobs, 12 flamers, 4 trolls, and a pimprat.
"Shoot or run...SHOOT OR RUN!"
