GrimDark Ether (GrimDark x Destiny Chaos Gacha)

[Gusion]

shit shit shit.

'why did i have to jump in like a shonen protag instead of hiding in the bushes like a sane person?!' i knew why, hell i was currently carrying it in my arms as i hauled ass through the dense brush.

four blue small glowing eyes peered up at me through a small opening in its wrapping. a whirls of scared frighten chirps slipping out and occasionally being heard over the sound of tree's getting decimated behind me.

i didn't know what it was and honestly i could less of a shit. Whatever it was it cleaved the Eliksni in two like if they were butter. the small caravan of fallen never even had the chance to fight back before being picked off one by one alien isolation styled.

unbeknownst to the them and beasty back there i was hiding out nearby in a dense bush, shitting my pants as the screams of living creatures that were no longer fiction rung out.

i had first class seats to a alien slasher movie and i didn't like it one bit.

i huddled more bushes towards me and dung in, ready to wait out the horror film and move on with my trek in this weird world when i heard it. soft chirping mixed in with the occasional sniffle's.

my eyes immediately snapped around, looking towards destroyed wagons and dead bodies, until ultimately landing on a prone form a few meters out from me.

the body was halved between its waist and torso, blue blood and ether pooling around it. the body, although chitinous and fallen like in nature, had a weird feminine touch to it. an almost nearly perfect hourglass figure, womanly hips and breast in all, being the most physically noticeable features.

i almost overlooked the weird features to the fallen because of it being ripped in two and not what i was looking for, but i made a mental note and filed it away for later as the noise i had been looking for made itself know.

shifting from the wrapping near the bodies torso, a small chubby three digit hand and four glowing's eye peered out.

an Eliksni hatchling. a baby. stuck in the middle of one of animal planets most gruesome documentary and most likely about to be the next snack to this creature decreasing menu.

i froze.

babies were like always a 'them over you' thing. there life's over mine.

yet when put to action i hesitated. i don't know why but i did, and that left me with a predicament.

keep hiding and let the poor child be a snack for a monster so i could make my escape with no problems? or pull a shonen move and snatch the kid while running for my life?

the intangible feeling of my abuela's sandal flying across the multiverse to wherever here was just to smack me across the head for thinking about the first option played pretty thoroughly in my mind. i wouldn't know how but knowing her, she'd definitely make it happen somehow.

so here we are in the present. With a giant possible lovecraftian monster hot on my six and me running like hell with an alien baby from a game cradled in my arm's and a bag full of random shit i grabbed jostling around as i ran.

Jesus this was bad. i hadn't worked out in years and my legs were already starting to kill me.

the added weight and dense brushes the occasionally slapped me in the face and over my body didn't help either.

'R̷̞͓͚̻̽̀̃̃̇̓͌A̸̢͉̗͌G̶̮͍̝̭̊̃̍̉̊͠Ḥ̷̢͇̬̺̲̜̬̩̬̪̩͍̬͋̃͊͋̈̂̏̒̐͝͠H̸̛͓̤̱̪́̌͒̀̀̌͂͘H̸̛̺̳̜̦̙͕̟̑̂̾̅͌̂̈̒̓̚̚͠͝H̵̨͉̟͍͎̻̟̊̚͝H̸͚̲̦̖͍̭̺̖̮̥̪͌H̴̦̱̗̜̃̈́̋̾̆̑H̸̥̩͕̘̥͖̻̼̘̥̥̦͚͒͒̂̀̉̅Ḧ̶̪͚̭́̍̄̐̏̾̾̅̍̅̕͠͝Ȟ̶̙̼̎̇̒͆̇̀̅̈́̚'​

The feral creature let a soul wrenching roar, unnatural sounding in every way. i could literally feel my soul being disturbed by what every effect this creature was trying to inflict on me and the kid.

The sounds of large patches of dirt being kicked up and tree's snapping were getting closer, this thing was gaining on me.

shit man, i don't know what to do. it'd only been a few weeks since whatever ROB decided to send me to the shitty as Grimdark world. I'd been scraping by on the skin of my teeth and yet i knew it wasn't gonna cut. I'm starved and dehydrated and any chance or idea of saving energy and calories just flew out the fucking window with me doing this stunt.

Ducking under a thick branch i huffed heavily as my body started to scream at me for rest. yet i didn't.

cause even though i knew this wasn't a manga and i wasn't some plot protected protagonist, i was gonna make my family proud by at least making sure this kid could make it out alive.

The thumping of footsteps got louder and louder, the breaking trees more soul shaking by the second.

if this is where i bought it, then i'd do it doing something i could be proud of!

​

"No! roll all of them now!" i screamed out as i juked a falling tree. i would figure this out later, i had chance, an honest to god chance to maybe make it out of this alive. to not end up as red paste on this forest floor and to not fail this baby.

{Rolling...}
{Congrat's! you have earned:}​

[Flamethrower] |Uncommon Ability| Allows you to unleash a constant stream of fire from anywhere on your body, the more energy you expend, the hotter and more potent the stream of flame is.

[Lucky Sukebe] |Uncommon Trait| You are a lucky fellow alright, just in ways you wouldn't expect. You often stumble into lucky perverted or lewd situations. The chaos of all infinity and eternity is distilled into an ability to affect the composition of all of reality itself and it makes you more likely to find a girl changing. Amazing.

[Mizutsune] |Rare Familiar| Monster Hunter - A fierce leviathan monster that is also capable of living and fighting on land. As a leviathan Mizutzune has formidable physical abilities being able to shred any metal with ease with their claws. In addition, Mizutsune are capable of breathing a soap-like substance from their mouths that can immobilize opponents.

​

i read the first four letters of Mizutsune before diving to the floor and screaming out. "Mizutsune!!!"

with a mighty roar and a flash of light, the slender form of the Yokai esque monster flew overhead and slammed viscously into the chasing monster.

sliding on the dirt floor, i gasped deeply for air and clung tightly to the baby as the sounds of a fierce battle rung out.

sitting up i watched as Mizutsune Smacked the monster with a mean tail whip to the body, launching the now visible Bear-Like-Beast into a bundle of dense tree's.

the beast had Six limbs, two hind legs and town short arms around its stomach. Two longer, densely muscled arms near it upper torso flailed about as the beast struggle in the forest debris. covered in dense brown fur and a disgusting face adoring its head, its most notable feature being the sharp rhino like horn adorned on it's head. 'Now i know how those bodies got bisected.'

Mizutsune moved like a ballerina, fluidly moving in elegance and deadly precision. it slid quickly in-between us and the creature.

The bear Beast got up and tumbled out of its crater of trees and dirt, stepping and stumbling about as is couldn't get a proper footing on the forest floor.

Soap covered the ugly beast and the surrounding floor around it, preventing it from standing up properly and adding a home field advantage to Mizutsune.

in a bout of anger and frustration, the creature Roared out to my Familiar.

In return Mizutsune did the same, but i had never heard it be this visceral and angry before. reality really did make all the difference from fiction.

Quickly tossing itself to the ground, Mizutsune rushed the unstable beast. dodging a swipe from its claws before opening its jaws and slamming into the back of the beast neck. the impact blowing off tuff's of hairs and bubbles. The beast snarled and whined as Mizutsune put on the pressure. Never letting go of its neck as it thrashed and tried to grab onto Mizu's body, only for it to lose it's grasp and tumble towards the floor again.

i sat there mesmerized, watching my jaw open as Mizu manhandled the beast like it was nothing. a scratch here and a tail flick there and Mizu pretty much had the creature huffing out gust of steam from exhaustion and anger. The monster's from Monster hunter were just a different breed of nature. pure power and deadliness wrapped up in there own individual styles and finesse.

Rubbing the top of the baby's chitinous head, i listened as the infant coo'd and chirped as the fear and overstimulation slowly started to ebb out. or what i thought was happening as i really didn't know fallen biology at all, But hey! the baby seems to like it, so headpats are a win.

with a snarl, i was broken out of my musing just in time to see Mizu twirl the monster around by the neck before slamming it down with a sickening crunch. a loud wheeze forced itself out of the creature's jaws before Mizu coiled itself like a spring and...

*Snap!*

rapidly twirled around the beasts neck, snapping its neck to unnatural angle. well... as unnatural as you could get with this weird creature.

with a soft his, the life ebbed out of it's body as Mizu dropped it's carcass to the floor and let out a triumphant roar.

"Holy shit..." i sighed out. i ran for what felt like mile's and felt like i was going to get my ticket punched, only for a one in a million chance to pop up and be saved by a fiction creature. it was all starting to hit me now.

"This shit is insane..." i was stuck here, no doubt about that. but maybe... i'd at least had a chance to make my indefinite stay here a bit more accommodating.

This is it for right now, wrote this on a whim since a random muses decided to strike me. had literally nothing better to do, so will see where this goes.

until later bro's and bro'ette's.
