Sand-Punk Survivor Ch.2

Ch.2 Assembling the Crew 

The first member recruited was Araneas best friend Crab Guy a Xixo a species which communicates through smells and these smells trigger intense emotions. CrabGuy was always there thick and thin through it all for Aranea more importantly though he cared for bastions ongoing fight for freedom in Rayuba and was willing to defend it at all cost. Upon walking Rainbow Road they found Snail Dude slowly chugging along. He was quicker than you would think though, especially with a blade. 

    Next on the list was Mantis man, a middle aged monk about 7 ft. tall and part XiXo. Mantis Man had razor sharp claws which were very intimidating and his alien eyes had a way of looking deep into your soul. We met at the Sea Shrine located a few miles west of the dragon sharks house. 

"So we need to plan how this raid on the factory is going to go down! "There are only three of us and about one hundred of the small demons who worked at these forges which supplied the pyre with weapons so we are all probably going to die unless we do this right." said Aranea the electro dragon. "let's take a step back. I've got this strong shell" said snail gu. "but snail guy what do you mean?" said Aranea quizzically at Crabguy. "i'll put the bombs in my shell and you two just cover me!" "I don't know if we can let you do that said CrabGuy". WHat could we do though if snail guy was going to sacrifice himself who were we to judge as many families had been torn apart already in the short time this conflict had been happening. Still something deep within our souls ached as we helped strap the bombs to him the following morning. 

The Following day they met at the west end of the factory loading dock. "are you sure you want to do this it's not too late to back out?!" said Aranea to snail-dude "Yeah lets do this!" Their troop had gone largely UN-noticed until they broke through the window and a janitor saw them and rang the alarm.

"Time to get in your shell and start the charge" said the electro dragon 

Ok DONE!

Just then, a group of Lizardmen broke through the front door of the factory with crossbow and spear ablaze "ragh & Gronk!" they said with a ferocious hissing tone! 

    "Eat plasma bolts bitch!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7rOeSCw41A

They said this and started summersaulting across the floor  in a  flurry of heightened awareness after eating amanita mushrooms. "I'm gonna fuck you all in the ass!" they said as the lizard-men violently turned into bloody sacks of hamburger. "well, I'm all out of plasma bolts now it's time to bring out the plasma spear." They thought as CrabGuy covered them with his large claws which cut the lizard troopers dismembering the. The plasma spear which contained a large ruby from the nearby ocean shrine to Aesma godess of the ocean around these parts. It glowed a rainbow iridescent color like that of Pearl Abalone.  It was technically a trident since it has six tips which glowed even brighter and surrounded the Ruby held within the of the wooden staff which had an iron maiden carved upon it.

Then a laser shot out of the Ruby causing the last lizaard to completly vaporize into a ash pile with some melted armor around it. "Come on snail dude we can still make it out of this place. you don't have to do this!" "it's too late for me, go on without me." he said in a melancholy tone.  "Snail Dude noooooo!" cried Aranea who then reached out their arm for Snail Dude as CrabGuy held them back and carried them to safety. They could see the pyramidal-steel factory exploding in the distance.

After stocking up on plasma bolts and changing the batteries in the spear. Aranea and CrabGuy decided that they needed a bigger rew, mantis Man concurred as well. However it was hard to assemble a crew in these desperate and violent times. So their party continued to head East to the legendary Beast Jungle where they would meet Hanuman. He lived in a temple in a very deep part of Beast Jungle however inside his house were many other animals who had sentience and wanted to fight for their freedom against the Demonic Hordes that the nation of Pyre commanded.  "There are even Mummified Aliens of the lost Arken civilization in these ancient ruins, holding onto their ancient swords, pistols, maces, you name it" said Hanuman. After doing a little grave-robbing some type of detonation was triggered by one of the sarcophagi and sirens began blaring through cracks in the stone pyramid . They quickly ran out of the temple following the monkey, about two minutes before it exploded. Thankfully nobody was hurt, because almost all the animals that live in were hunting for food this morning out in Beast Jungle. "what a way nature has...we are just like a flame in the wind ready to be blown out" thought Aranea peacefully for a moment. "I'm really sorry about your house!" she said to Hanuman "it's ok, these things happen" said the monkey sitting there in utter disbelief.
