Salmon Run

"""Chairman"""

Hunters from the ORΛCLE Security Group bowed and greeted Jin-hwan.

ORΛCLE Security Group (shortened as OSG) a security division of ORΛCLE Technologies is one of the top six guilds in South Korea. Although it has no S-Rank Hunters (the guild master is an A-Rank Hunter or is he :) ), they have recruited the most hunters among other guilds. Usually considered as the most strongest guild and biggest guild, due to the financial and technological backing of ORΛCLE Technologies.

The OSG was created due to the influx of gates spawning near company property and it's interest in mana crystals.

There are two major divisions in the OSG its: Mining Division and the Mobile Task Force.

Unlike other guilds, ORΛCLE Technologies has invented mining equipment that works inside dungeons, powered by mana-infused electricity for the OSG's Mining Division to use .

Under the OSG is the Mobile Task Force (shortened as MTF), is a regular security firm, tasked with safeguarding locations and equipment of ORΛCLE and it's affiliated companies.

"Good Afternoon, gentlemen." Jin-hwan greeted them back.

"I hope you have receive the memo." Jin-hwan said looking at the group watching their faces.

All of them were in their battle gear. With their standard issue black full body armor which was hardened with mana crystals. It can protect up to A Grade Magic Beast and with slight magic resistance. Their standard weapons includes a mana bullet pistol and a short sword that can be easily infused with mana.

Seeing some of them had confusion plastered on their face he continued:

"If you didn't receive the memo, we'll be going through Protocol 007 for this gate."

Protocol 007 is a directive plan on how to tackle gates and dungeons. This protocol is usually put into use when an experiment is planned to happen inside the dungeon.

"I'm assuming everything is prepared then."

A man with red hair walked out of the line. The OSG's 1st Platoon Leader Lang Mun-Hee responded:

"Yes sir, our team and the research team are ready."

"Well then everybody in position." Jin-hwan ordered.

The hunters parted going to their separate posts. Some in close proximity to the gate.

Jin-hwan soon entered the gate.

***

Jin-hwan felt air assaulting his face. Opening his eyes he seems to be in midair. He was actually in the air falling down.

"«RAKUKAJA»"

Jin-hwan glowed tinge as mana enhanced his defense. He turned his body as he prepare to land. He lands to the ground, feet wide apart and with one hand on the floor. Slight damage to the ground, dust scattering everywhere.

"What a warm welcome..." Jin-hwan as he stood straight wiping the dust off along the way.

He was at an abandoned dock. He landed on top of the multilayered platform right next to a metal basket.

Checking his surrounding it's seems to be a small island with no other land in the horizon. There are sandbars to it's left and a large catwalk to its right. There were many small docks. But the most peculiar things was there were vegetables towers…

Splashing sounds soon appeared. Jin-hwan became immediately alert.

"«MAKAMAZEVO»"

Guns appeared in his hands, blue colored pistols with golden accents all over. Pointing towards the source.

"What the hell is this?"

A squad of fish creatures appeared that looks like a regular salmon with very freaky appearances. They had big, green googly eyes, big mouth with crooked teeth and have huge fins and an orange mohawk that resembles that of a spartan helmet. They are also seen holding kitchen utensils like frying pans and plastic spoons.

"Damn something really did a number on them."

Jin-hwan became vigilant when they started walk on land. As they walked on land they were spreading green goo on their path. It smelled very disgusting.

They were running towards him. Very aggressive and was screaming fish gurgling sounds at him. Swinging their frying pans and sounding their sonorous war cry of a very angry fish.

Gurlgurlgurl~

Ferocious.

Jin-hwan wanted to get this over with he pointed his gun and casted:

"«MABUFULA»"

Mana started to charge in the gun. Pulling the trigger, he shoots mana bullets. The bullets then expanded to giant ice shards.

The creatures were impaled. Guts and green goo exploded everywhere as they popped like balloons.

"Disgusting… what did they eat." Jin-hwan disgusted as he tried to fan away the smell.

Gurlgurlgurl~

Sounds started to surround the island. Fish gurgling were getting louder. The water's weren't calm as the shook in their place.

"Great more fish-fucks." Jin-hwan groaned as he got into position.

Hundreds of mutated fish started to reach on land. Heading straight towards Jin-hwan with their war cry.

"Well, lets put you out of your misery shall we?"

Jin-hwan jumped in the air as he turned his body. Spinning around in mid air, he stretch out arms with his guns blazing. Sending a flurry of ice mana bullets everywhere.

The abnormal fishes were soon reduced in numbers. They all went down quickly. All was left was green goo over the walls and grounds.

Jin-hwan landed on top of a crane. Aiming on a sole fish, he headshotted.

"Looks like I'm done here." Jin-hwan said as he observed his masterpiece.

Splash~

ClangClang~

"And there's more…"

Metals hitting can be heard.

*shoot*

Jin-hwan leaned to his side as he dodged the projectile.

He turned around to see multiple tower of pots and pans with a fish on top of it. They had a scope and a mouth nozzle.

"A Sniper? You fishies are a creative type now?"

Hordes of hundred fishes started to pop-out of the ocean again rushing to the crane.

*shoot*

Jin-hwan jumped as he dodge the goo bullet going above it.

A very large salmon fish arrived on the shore. Moving very slowly with a steelhead and protective scales protecting it's body.

Jin-hwan noticed as he started shooting it from above but the bullets wasn't penetrating.

The steelhead's top open it's lid was inflating a bag full of goo. It launched it in the air towards Jin-hwan location.

Jumping on top of it, the bomb went straight down and exploded. Green goo covering the area.

He was falling. He spun headfirst to the ground. The small mutated fish started to crowd below him.

He twist his body straight. Landing, he stepped on the head of a fish and jumped, squishing the fish.

He turning his body to face the horde. He started to rain a hell of bullets.

"Burned fish coming right up."

"«MAZIODYNE»"

*crackle*

Loud crackle of electricity can be heard.

Dark clouds started to form as mana from the air started to merge together. Huge lighting strikes started to hit the ground as the fish immediately got burned to death. Leaving green goo on the ground.

Jin-hwan with his feet heading straight to the goo-covered ground he casted:

"«MALAQUABARION»"

Huge amounts of water started to gather in the air. It all started to pour down as it clean the goo of the ground.

Jin-hwan then landed on a squeaky clean surface. He turned his head as he heard the sound of pressure release. The steelhead was charging up another bomb and Jin-hwan ran straight to it.

Jin-hwan kicked at the back of the steelhead. It landed on the ground wailing, trying to get back up.

Jin-hwan grabbed the tail of the monster, he then started to spin around to gain momentum.

After a few spins, he threw the monster aiming at the sniper towers.

"So long, fat ass!" Jin-hwan mimicking a certain italian plumber.

As it hit one of the towers, the stacks of pans and pots came falling down hitting other towers causing a domino effect.

*clang*

One by one.

Clangclang~

They all came falling down.

"Strike! Nice throw."

Loud metal noises came down as the towers turned to ruins. As dust clouds settled, he noticed they dropped big Golden Eggs. They were transparent with a golden hue and a skeleton fish inside of it. Probably their mana cores.

After he finished collecting, he heard jet engines in the air.

"Now they can fly?"

*shoosh*

Jin-hwan heard missiles coming to his way. He immediately turned and jumped on the missile, turning it around to returning it back to it's sender.

The flying fish exploded. Metals parts raining to the ground.

"One fireworks show done." Jin-hwan landed to where he started.

The ground was shaking as the water level rises. Jin-hwan started jumping on different crates and landed back on top of the crane.

A noticed a huge floating metal container coolers circling the island. Multiple mutated salmon fish with a metal propeller headlamp helmets carrying small styrofoam coolers started to fly out of it.

"And they're calling for backup."

The coolers started to land, releasing big abnormal fishes with pans.

Waves of mutated fish with varying sizes started to cover the island.

Jin-hwan got into a fighting stance. Cocking up his pistols.

"It's showtime."

He jumped in the air spinning. Sending a flurry of bullets everywhere killing them with one shot.

In mid-air he kicked off the cooler hitting the other styrofoam boxes. Knocking them all down, exploding on contact.

He then landed on the ground and immediately twirl. Shooting a storm of bullets killing the horde of small fishes quickly.

Armored fishies started to surround him quickly. Jin-hwan threw his guns as they faded in the air. He immediately summoned his mana sword.

"«MAKAMAZEVO»"

With a sword in hand he immediately straighten it pointed to the biggest of the fish.

"Lets dance."

He ran towards the big guy and kicked it off, jumping in the air. With momentum in the air he started spinning, slashing his sword along the way creating a tornado of slashes.

Jumping on the head of a small fish he got back to the big guy and piercing it with his sword. Pushing the now dead big guy, it squished loads of fishes on its back.

"Woo, I haven't had fun like this in a very long time." Jin-hwan said with a huge smile on his face while leaning on sword that's pointing to the ground.

Looking above there's still a mothership container hovering in the sky. Releasing mini coolers. He dropped his sword as his summoned back his guns. Pointing in at the sky directly at the metal container.

"Now for the grand finale."

Styrofoam coolers rushing their way with goo shooters at its side trying to deter Jin-hwan. Jin-hwan skillfully dodges the goos jumping on top of the styrofoam boxes and shooting it straight down to destruction.

Landing on the last cooler box. He joined his dual pistol guns together and casted.

"«COSMIC FLARE»"

Shooting bullets towards it, mana gathered at the bullets expanding to a very bright blue orbs. Hitting the mothership, it had reached critical state and caused a huge blue nuclear explosion in the sky.

Colorful explosion soon filled the skylines as the smell of gun powder, rotting fish, and hot metals spread to the air.

Jin-hwan perfectly landed on sandbar with his arms stretch out.

"Now THAT'S a party." Jin-hwan exclaimed. He spun his pistols and blew the barrel of his guns.
