"So I hear Ms Franco almost busted your balls yesterday" Chad was standing at the entrance to Galbadia Garden, waiting for me so we could leave for the Holy Mission event at Trabia Garden.
"No more than usual man, when do we leave?" I replied, changing the subject.
"We got about 10 minutes, then the taxi will be here to take us to the airship"
"Screw the taxi, I got something to do before we leave" I walked to the nearest Garden car and smashed the window.
"What the hell you doing man!" Chad shouting, running towards me.
"Relax, I just need to give these babies a test run" I said, holding up the weapons case with my new pistols inside. As I climbed inside the vehicle. I ripped off the panel below the steering wheel and hot wired it, something I'd done on more than one occasion.
Chad climbed into the passenger seat "You do realise Ms Franco will actually kill you this time Gresh" It was a statement rather than a question.
I floored the accelerator "I'll worry about that later, let's go have some fun! Besides, you jumped in too, that makes you an accomplice now bro!" Beside me Chad's face turned white at the thought of Ms Franco's anger.
20 minutes had passed since I'd taken the car and we'd finally reached my destination, the beaches just outside of Dollet.
"What you here for dude? There's nothing here but sand and Fastitiocalons, hardly a challenge," Chad had been in a bad mood the whole way here, saying how if I valued our friendship I'd turn the car around, I knew it was an empty threat.
"That's not the only thing…" I picked up a stone and threw it at a mound of sand about 20ft away. The ground started shaking.
"Oh shit, now we're really dead you stupid asshole" Chad started backing away toward the car as an Adamantoise rose out of the sand, a horrific roar escaping it's mouth.
I wasn't worried, I opened the weapons case and withdrew the pistols, marvelling again at how finely crafted they were, next I loaded one of them with standard issue ammo and the other with the explosive rounds Ms Franco had provided "I figure if I'm gonna showcase these at the tournament then I should know what the benefits are, and what better way to test them than against Adamantoise shell?"
All the while the Adamantoise had been advancing and was now just 8ft away, I rose up from where I'd been making my preparations and unloaded 5 rounds straight into it's heavily armoured body, leaving 5 shiny marks where the lead had just flattened itself against the hard shell. The Adamantoise didn't even flinch, it just roared and rushed towards me, knocking me to the ground with surprising speed, making me drop my weapons. I was now harmless and this formidable enemy was angry. As I stood up it rushed me again and I felt my ribs crack as it's head impacted with my chest, knocking me to the floor yet again "It's gone into Berserk man, we gotta get of here" Chad shouted as he helped me up.
The Adamantoise was readying another attack when I saw something glistening in the sand, a half covered pistol, I ran for it and as the creature lunged I recovered the gun and unloaded every round into it's face and body, Chad cheered as it quickly backed away "Hell yeah, that's called payback bitch!"
All of a sudden everything went black, like being in the deepest cave without a flashlight, the Adamantoise hadn't been retreating it had been preparing a new attack, I had been blinded. I shouted out to Chad "Get eyedrops, quickly!" this was now a matter of urgency, I started panicking, going back to my childhood memories when a Mesmerize nearly killed me.
"I'm on it already" was the response somewhere to my left, I started scrabbling backwards, hopefully away from danger and all of a sudden I felt something hard against my back, I almost screamed but reaching around I realised it was one of the beaches many boulders.
Then I heard a pounding fast approaching and felt hot putrid breath on my face. This time I did sceam.
"Chad!" it was all I could manage, terror seemed to have gripped my heart, I felt a wetness on my face and thought I'd started crying, but as my vision cleared I heard a loud thud and saw Chad on the back of the Adamantoise, gripping it's neck and pounding it's head with his fists, a discarded bottle of eyedrops on the ground. The Adamantoise roared and started towards me again, ignoring Chads assault that on any other enemy would have certainly been fatal. I pushed my hands into the floor, about to spring up and run, I felt something hard and cold underneath my right palm. I picked it up and knew by the weight of it that this weapon was still loaded, "Chad bail right now" I shouted, aiming down the barrel of the gun and as he leapt off the Adamantoise I fired a 3 round burst. The heat from the bullets seared my skin as they exploded, pieces of Adamantoise shell acted as shrapnel, one shard lodging itself in my leg. This time the Adamantoise did not move, there was no recovery from something as devastating as these bullets.
Half an hour later we had buried the Adamantoise, healed our wounds and were walking back to the car, "I need some TLC after that" I said "how about we hit a massage parlour before we head to the airship?"
Chad stopped walking and as I turned around to see what was wrong the whole left side of my face erupted in pain and I passed out…
"No more than usual man, when do we leave?" I replied, changing the subject.
