Mystery In The Mist Forest 2

CHAPTER 12: Mystery In The Mist Forest 2

The Mist journey turns into a nightmare as terrifying growls echo through the thick forest. R sprints at full speed, lungs burning, heart hammering, dodging branches and leaping over fallen logs. Behind him are werewolves twisted, mist-soaked creatures with glowing eyes and snapping jaws.

“R, I was expecting Mist Snakes.,” SHAID yells in his head. “Maybe zombies. Not fucking werewolves!”

R ducks as a werewolf lunges from the left, snarling. “You’re the genius! How the hell would I know?!”

“I warned you not to enter this damn place! Now we’re going to die in a fuckin gruesome death, torn to pieces by mist creatures!”

“Oh, shut up, you were all cocky before ‘I’ve been through worse,’ remember? Where’s that pretty confidence now?”

“Well I never expected us to be pursued by fucking werewolves, R!”

The chase continues as growls close in behind. They burst through the trees and hit a familiar T-junction. R skids to a halt, eyes scanning.

“The bodies,” he says, breath ragged. “Where the fuck are the bodies?”

SHAID says sharply. “that should be the least of our worries.”

“Why?!” R asks

“Multiple vehicles just entered the forest.” SHAID replied instantly

“What?! How the fuck do you know that? I thought everything here was dead tech.” R asks again in surprise

SHAID responds, “Yeah, but these are old-world. Fuel-powered, radio signals only. I picked up chatter.”

“How many?”

“More than twenty. Fully weaponized.”

R groans, dodging another wolf claw. “This day couldn’t get fuckin worse…”

SHAID cuts in, grim. “Correction. I just caught another transmission. More vehicles from the Regions are inbound.”

“That fat bitch must’ve called them in,” R snarls, slashing at another wolf. “This is because of the Shadow. We never found her body.”

As he slides beneath a wolf mid-leap, gritting his teeth.

“The Landlord’s still playing games. But he ain’t catching me lacking.”

Then he stops as the wolves surround him, dozens of them.

An Alpha, larger and meaner than the rest, growls from behind. R spins, barely dodging its attack. He tries to leap, muscles screaming, but his body isn’t the same. He crashes to the dirt, scrambling to get up. Legs trembling. Wetness spills down his thigh.

“The fuck—?!”

SHAID’s voice is calm but urgent. “You’re in labor, R. You don’t feel it, but your body knows. It’s been nine months.”

“I’m not—”

“Don’t. Not now. Wolves to kill.”

Reaper glows.

R exhales slowly. “Alright... let’s see if Reaper likes werewolf blood.”

The Alpha howls as chaos erupts. R also roars and charges towards the alpha as he points Reaper which is now in a sword form, cleaves through mist and fur, tearing the wolves with ruthless precision. Each kill only fuels the frenzy. The creatures swarm, a relentless tide of fangs and fury. A wolf clamps its jaws on R’s arm as he screams, in agony, instantly he decapitates it in a single brutal move. Blood sprays. Another wolf leaps at his face as he slides under it, slicing its gut open.

Reaper shifts.

Two laser pistols emerge in R’s hands. He fires left and right, shots lighting up the dark like stars going nova. Bodies drop. Mist thickens with the scent of burning fur and scorched earth.

Another wolf lunges from the side as R slams his fist into its snout and blasts its skull apart.

Only the Alpha remains as It growls low, a sound that shakes the trees. R stands across from it, bloodied, breathless Reaper starts to glow again. gold this time.

As SHAID’s voice returns. “Reaper is fully charged. This blast is stronger than Slaughterhouse. Might one-shot the Alpha.”

R crouches as he grins. “Let’s see how strong you really are.”

The Alpha charges notices this and charged with full speed towards R.

Reaper shifts again, transforming into a gold-plated Dynamit Noble MATADOR rocket launcher. R locks in, and aim saying

“Fuck you, bitch.”

He fires the launcher as the blast detonates with a thunderous roar, lighting the forest in hellfire. Trees snaps, ground ruptures the wolves are vaporized as the Alpha disintegrates mid-leap.The explosion stretches miles, causing a wave of destruction as it rips across the surroundings, lighting everything it touches in roaring flame.

When the dust settles there is nothing on the ground apart from the blood of the wolves and the burnt body of the alpha

R stands, soaked in blood his body trembling as Reaper is now blackened he retracts back into his arm.

SHAID in relief, “Damn… that was a close call.”

R drops to his knees trembling as his breath catches, it seems his body is on fire as sweats starts to drops from his body. Suddenly, water spills down his legs as his wounds starts to heal.

“SHAID… what the fuck is happening?”

“I’ve been saying for hours bro you are in fuckin labour, R. Your body wants the baby out.”

“She can’t come now not here. Not in this goddamn place. The key to the world can’t be born here. She’ll die.” R mutters to himself as he grits his teeth.

“How close are the vehicles?” he adds

“not too close they are still miles before the junction”

R pushes himself up, shaking. “Then we need leave this freaking place now.”

As R is about to leave turning his back towards the direction he is coming from, he notices all blood, the wolves’ blood around him, including the ones on him starts to merge.

“Am I trippin.” R asks in confusion as SHAID replies saying “No you are not what the fuck is this”

As the blood slithers like veins across the forest floor, pooling together, R stares in horror as the Alpha werewolf reforms—twisted, bigger, stronger. Its eyes burn green as it lets out a howl that shakes the forest.

Trees collapse, Creatures in the shadows flee, as the air thickens with dread.

“R yells.

SHAID stammers, “W-what the fuck is going on?”

R’s muscles lock up as his body freezes, he can’t run nor even talk.

Then… a loud hiss from afar sideways comes out adding more fire to the fuel this is something worse as the Alpha who tuns notices the presence of this predator from the voice alone as it turns, growling at the shadows.

SHAID whispers, “That sound… is that what I think it is?”

R's voice breaks. “A fucking Mist Snake.”

From the shadows, a serpent as large as the wolf with the size of a house lunges towards the Alpha. The two monsters collide in a brutal clash of fur, fangs, venom, into the mist.

SHAID snaps, “R! don’t you fuckin freeze now?”

“Let’s get the fuck outta here!” As he snaps out of the terror

R turns and runs forgetting the pains the is feeling he does not care right now his body is pumped up his adrenaline pumping up moving with full speed not minding his weight, the ground rumbling behind him as old buildings collapse, the cause is from the battle of the two predators destroying everything in their part. R not looking back at all just goes full speed ahead his only thought: RUN RUN RUN.

As He hits the T-junction again, his lungs burn as all these calamity as lasted for a whole day has passed then he stops trying to take a break.

“Okay… far from danger now.” SHAID replies as R pants

But then, the sound of engine roars, light flashes and tires screeching. These are multiple Vehicles.

Over the speakers:
“COMMANDER, WE CAN SEE YOU DO NOT FUCKING RUN.”

R sighs, eyes wide as SHAID groans, “Here we go again.”

Gunfire starts to erupt as tanks open fire the only target is towards one-person R.

“Why can’t I get a fucking break?!” R filled with rage but too tired to move but he has no choice he has to continue his race
