Ovi Geraldrick sighed and turned to his partner, who was currently pressing several buttons in a panicky and somehow accurate fashion. "When they said I'd be sharing an escape pod I didn't think it would be with a Mother Freaking Nutcase! do your panic attacks even HAVE an off switch???"
Crevitus Lombardi, the one operating what little controls they had in the craft didn't turn away from the console. "Do you even realize how many things could go wrong with this heap of scrap metal?" A stray piece of flying space debris hit the craft and it jostled around prompting Crevitus to yell "HOLY MOTHER OF- WHAT WAS THAT?"
Ovi facepalmed. "Congrats doctor Lombardi, you just discovered... a rock!"
"See? I told you this thing was dangerous!" Crevitus said loftily.
"Oh your right, Sir Lombardi, How could things get ANY WORSE?" Ovi said, his voice ladden with sarcasm.
"What the- why- why in the hell would you ask that?" Crevitus asked. "It can always get worse." A larger rock hit the outside of the pod, careening it off course. "Like that for instance!" he finished as the engine went out and they entered the planets atmosphere. Two screams were heard as they started their descent.
*BAM... ... .... cough cough.* "Are you alright, Ovi?" the two Knights left the scrapheap that was their pod. Ovi frowned. "Nothing's salvageable from this wreck, that's for sure!" he said, completely ignoring his partner's question. A growl was heard as the two turned to face a large Wolver mom and dad, with several babies in tow about to pounce on them. "Ok... stay calm... they might be friendlys." Crevitus said hesitantly. The dad bared it's fangs and charged, and Crevitus shot him on instinct, the burning status taking effect. the other wolvers looked at the dead father, then all started running at the two Knights.
"Crap crap crap crap crap run run run RUN RUN!!!!" Crevitus yelled as he ran facing backwards and firing at the creatures, while Ovi calmly took out the ones that got too close. when they were done with that ordeal, Ovi picked up his radio. "Captain Ozlo? We just encountered a den of this planet's wildlife. thankfully there were two of us so-"
"Don't worry about that, soldier! there should be a safe Haven about two hundred yards or so from your position! get there and recuperate... Maybe get some better gear if you can afford it."
Both Knights acknowledge simultaneously. "Understood!" and the transmission ends as they are given a map on the scanner.
* * * * *
"Lucky for us that your burning effect worked. we would have been Wolver chow if it hadn't!" Ovi complimented as they arrived at Haven. "So this is where we stock up on armor. how many crowns you got, Lombardi?"
"Uhh... they got melted into the pod when we crashed from the heat on re-entry..." Lombardi answered sadly.
"We might as well be broke then. looks like we gotta work for our weaponry! we'll need a team... see anyone who looks like they could be a good addition?" Ovi replied to his usually scared but well versed in scouting talent friend.
"What about the fellow over there in the Skelly armor with that Brandish? We have Fire and Electricity... he seems like a good fit, his stats with that equipment all point to poison type stuff! Hey, HEY YOU, yeah, you with the Brandish!! You got a minute?" Lombardi yelled at the knight who had just arrived at the Haven.
