The Powerful Grade 6

Everyone were already awake when the morning sun rose over the mountain top and Tyrus stretched out his arms as Drathos was putting his giant blade on his back. Toshi already had her two blades on her hips and everyone else were slowly waking up. Tyrus looks at everyone as they get ready, "Alright everyone listen up, I'm not going to pretend to be some great leader and force you to listen to my commands... You all should know what needs to be done right?" They all grin and gave him a nod and Tyrus cracks his neck, "Now I do recommend we all stick tog-" He gets cut off by Sioshi pushing passed him and glared, "I'm out.. You all can have fun sharing credit I ain't sharing... This is all mine!"

As the group simply watch Sioshi walk off Tyrus sighs and shakes his head, "Anyone else wanna go solo?" He asked looking at everyone. Raizer shook his head, "I may have killed a grade 6 beast but that don't mean I'm dumb enough to fight a grade 5 on my own... It took all I had just to kill the grade 6 and grade 5's aren't all that much weaker." Tyrus nods, "I agree, we should stay together and see what we're dealing with." Toshi nods, "I agree with that plan unless someone has a better one." Drathos nods his head, "Works for me, I just wanna get this job done and get the hell outta here."

Raizer nods, "I'm okay with it." Crystal crosses her arms, "Lets do it."

The group heads into the forest Tyrus was in the front with Drathos Crystal was in the middle with Toshi and Raizer in the rear. Tyrus kept his eyes focused as Drathos whispers, "Hey what are you planning on doing after this?" Tyrus looks at him, "I'm heading out of town probably going east." He whispers back as he quietly moves through the trees his blade held in front of him it was then that they all come to a stop when they hear a blood loud scream and several bone chilling roars. Tyrus looks back, "Lets move!" They all run towards the scream and roars. Drathos looks at Tyrus, "Is it just me or are we dumb running towards the scream of someone who likes to act like a lone wolf?" Tyrus laughed a bit, "Can always turn back and go to jail." Drathos glared, "Yeah no."

The group arrived to see 8 huge lions with fangs that were nearly a foot long and flames were surrounding the beasts and Tyrus stops quickly and narrows his eyes, "Shit those are flame lions, they are female." Tyrus saw Sioshi laying in a puddle of his own blood his throat was ripped out and the group were in shock, "There's 8 of them." Tyrus glared, "That's not the issue.... If we threaten them the male will show up." Tyrus states as he looks around looking quite nervous.

The 8 lions look up to see the group and Tyrus sighs, "Get ready!" The group got into there stances as the lions charged at them. Tyrus slashed at the neck of the lion attacking him but the beast was massive and strong stopping his attack with it's giant claws. As he was barely managing to hold back the first beast another lunges at him from his left and Tyrus looked over and leaps back so the first lion moves forward and the two crash into each other. Tyrus looks around noticing the group were not fairing to well against a group of 8 grade 5 beasts.

Tyrus looked back at the two beasts growling at each other and Tyrus lunges forward slashing downward aiming for the first beasts neck. Just before his blade hit a blast of flames blast Tyrus right into the chest sending him flying right into a tree. He screamed out as a branch penetrated his shoulder. He pulls his shoulder off the branch and holds the wound looking for his sword.

Just as he found it a beast tackles Tyrus to the ground biting at his face as Tyrus holds it back with his one good arm reaching for some weapon to fight back with. He grips something sharp and jabs it into the beasts eye causing it to roar in pain. Tyrus looks at the small broken branch in the beasts left eye and rolls to his blade and grabs it.

Drathos slashes his giant blade downward smashing the beasts giant claw taking off one of it's claws causing it to roar in pain, "Seriously all that just for a claw." Drathos complained sweat sliding down his cheeks.

Just as the group were pushing the lions back they hear a loud, deep, and earth shattering roar that caused the 8 lions to stop there attack and back away. That's when they saw a pair of glowing red eyes in the trees and a shadow of a 9 foot tall solid beast. Tyrus's eyes widen, "I thought these were just a myth." He managed to say as the blood drained from his face. Drathos looked at Tyrus, "What the hell is that?!" Tyrus saw as the beast walked on two legs growling deeply at the group of warriors.

Tyrus felt his body shaking violently as he saw the beast walking over to the injured pride he controlled and glared at the group. He then roars loudly enough to make the group drop there weapons and grips their ears screaming in pain at how loud the beast was.

Tyrus looks back after the roar ended and saw the group were all horrified and Tyrus screams at them, "regroup at the entrance.... RUN!" He shouts and the group starts sprinting off and Tyrus looks back only to get backhanded by a giant hand and sends him flying 12 feet back and crashing into a tree blood shooting from his mouth. He slowly got up using his sword to keep himself from falling forward, "So.... This is a Werelion." He thought as he spits blood from his mouth and got back into stance, "If I die might as well be as a swordsman!" He charged at the beast only to get pushed from the side to see Rathion standing over him." His eyes widen, "M.. Master?" Rathion glared at Tyrus with a disappointing look and holds up his hand creating a bright light and he quickly grabs his foolish pupil and escapes.

Tyrus comes to a while later to see Rathion sitting beside him, "You did well.. Up until you gave up on your life...." He leans over, "I saved your life as a kid... You aren't allowed to die before I do.... You get stronger and prove to me that you deserve the life I saved!" Tyrus nods, "I apologize Master I will never give up again." Rathion nods and in a instant he was gone and Tyrus slowly gets up and moves to the exit.

Toshi falls onto the grass breathing hard as well as Crystal and Drathos was looking around, "Where's Tyrus?" Raizer shrugs sitting there sweat covering his face, "Who... Knows." Drathos kicks the dirt, "Great so we lost two fighters and we only managed to take a eye and a toe.... Great!" Toshi glared, "We weren't ready for 8 grade 5's Drathos! We thought there'd be 3 or 4 no one said anything about a pride of flame lions with some mutated beast!"

"It's called a Werelion." A voice states and the group looks over to see Tyrus limping out of the forest and Drathos arched a brow, "Soooo what the hell is a Werelion?" Tyrus sits down next to Toshi blood sliding down his chin, "It's the strongest Grade 6 beast out there... It's the strongest Werebeast out there and also the rarest." Tyrus explains, "In fact the last sighting that I've heard of was a hundred years ago and it was so strong it could shatter a warriors blade with it's bear hands and it's roar can shatter a persons eardrums so we got lucky that we can still hear." He falls back in the grass and sighs and winces holding his shoulder blood sliding down his arm.

Raizer sighs, "Great so how do we kill it?" Tyrus looks up at them, "From what I read about them the back of the neck is a weak point and the eyes are sensitive as well." Crystal looks at the sky, "So we're in deep shit huh?" Tyrus laughed a bit, "If you want to quit I won't blame ya this job got way more troublesome.... I'm staying though... I can't tarnish my masters good name." Drathos laughs, "Well I'm staying... Can't let someone as weak as you show me up!" Raizer sighs, "I guess now's as good a time to die as any so I'll stay." Toshi blushed a bit, "I'll stay as well." Crystal closes her eyes, "I'll stay as well... Can't let you all have all the fun."
