Day Two

[Doomguy]

At the highest peak of the island, you could see the furious whipping cyclone of Hurricane Karl made its pass across the northern end of the island, and the rain and winds died down as the force of nature went back to the endless sea after the damage was done. The shores and lowlands were still flooded in the wake of the potent downpour, but that would recede back to level soon enough. And I could look for some of the care packages that have been dropping around the island. The sounds of violence were ever present as I stood over the canopy, gun shots and clashes of metal no longer muffled by the thick clog of trees and I stood to gain some equipment.

As I was ready to dig in to my next MRE and finish off my water supply when I heard a scuffle much closer to me. I flatted against a boulder to avoid detection, and slowly poked my head out of cover to see that, fifty yards from my position, that a fight had broken out between primes. I only managed to see the back end of it, as I saw three men fighting a single purple woman, one that had managed to flank her from be back while the other two readied to charge. Among them was a effeminate blond that stood out in gold armor, a man who I remembered immediately as I saw his impractical armor and stupid hair do: Gilgamesh. Of all the assholes I had to run into, why was it this one? That must have meant the others, the haggard one in black furs and the guy with more daggers than sense, were his lackeys.

I barely had enough time to slink away before I was thrown in with the fight. The spandex wearing alien seemed to have opened a port and appeared right before me without any warning. Instinct drove me to fight before I could think on the situation, and I clasped one of my hands around her neck. Without a weapon, as she could do was flail uselessly as I crushed her wind pipe. As the others surged towards us, I looked briefly away to decide how I was going to get out of this myself when I felt the ground underneath me disappear. I let got as the surprise got the better of me ans I was flung right on top of the other three like a green comet. She got away, and we were all bruised but no worse for wear.

As Gil went of to collect his trophies and the other two went to rest their wounds, I walked up behind the 'king' and cleared my voice to catch his attention. He was busy admiring an assault rifle with a chainsaw when I interrupted him, and a grimace flared on his face as he looked me down. Despite it pained me to work with this asshole, I needed to stay alive and avoid the roving bands of primes that were also fought for the prize.

"I'm going to be traveling with you now" I told him, and the annoyance turned to livid anger as his eyes grew wide and his teeth snarled at me. the audacity, he probably thought, and stood his ground in confrontation. He tried to wield the gun in his hand menacingly, but I could see the inexperience in how he held the weapon and he wasn't used to them.

"How dare you make demands of your rightful king, mongrel" He shouted, and I rolled my eyes hidden under my helmet's opaque visor. The tyrant was already on my nerves, and it was really only a need to conserve resources that I didn't just punch him. "What make you think that-"

I cut him off when I placed my Big Fucking Gun on my shoulders, intimidated him just long enough that I could get a word in.

"Because my gun is bigger than yours" Although I left out that it would likely disappear after I used it, like my plasma gun before it. "More importantly, you're wounded, your friends are wounded, but I am at full health and you need someone else the hold you together in a fight. You don't have to like it, but it's going to happen. So deal with it"

The golden man was infuriated, ready to strike me down. I practically smiled as I watched him get upset. But he never did. Instead, he rolled his eyes in thought, before a wicked smile flashed for a moment and he managed to clam down.

"Alright. Let this transgression pass. For now. You will have to supply youself, but I will allow you to fight for us."

'Then it's a deal" And yet, I couldn't help but feel like I would regret this.
