Avater Epic Quest
Somi! How many grenades do you have left?" Starlight shouted, pressing himself against the short fence for cover while reloading his gun—a sleek, an upgraded weapon that fired bullets trailing purple smoke. The smoke wasn't just for show; it weakened enemies upon contact.
"I've got three left!" Somi replied, quickly firing a shot at one of the alien-like monsters—the Hixars—that lunged at her.
"Pass me one!" He requested, taking out two Hixars charging toward him and Somi from opposite directions. Without hesitation, Somi tossed a grenade to him. He caught it mid-air with practiced ease and slipped it into his pocket.
"Pass me one too," Grayworm called out from his side, brushing dirt off his amor after finishing off a Hixar with a swift slash of his blade.
"I think I'll just save it for later..." Somi said with a smirk.
"Save it for who? Me?" Omega quipped. He was surrounded by snarling Hixars, their claws gleaming dangerously in the dim light of the forest. "I'm the one who needs it the most right now!" he yelled.
"Uh… I'm coming!" Somi yelled, dashing to his side while firing precise shots with her little daggers.
"You could just toss him the grenade, Somi!" Sparrow said from the treetops, drawing his bow. His arrow whizzed through the air, pinning a Hixar about to pounce on Somi.
"It's just a Level 2 monster; we can't waste grenades on that!" Somi defended herself.
"Says the girl who handed one over to Starlight without a second thought," Grayworm muttered as he joined Starlight, slashing at the oncoming creatures.
"Well… he's the boss," Somi replied, rolling her eyes.
The moment she said it, the three guys chorused, "He's the boss," mimicking her in perfect unison. It was a running joke within the team—Starlight was always her excuse for any preferential treatment.
After a few more tense minutes, the last of the Hixars fell to the ground.
"Whoo! That was a lot of Hixars," Sparrow said, hopping down from his perch.
"They're coming from that tunnel," Starlight observed, pointing toward a dark, eerie passageway ahead. Without hesitation, he approached the entrance.
As he drew closer, a Hixar leapt out, but Starlight's reflexes were quicker. He fired, the purple smoke trailing behind the bullet as it pierced the creature's chest. He then tossed the grenade into the tunnel. A deafening explosion followed, accompanied by the agonized screeches of the Hixars within.
"See? That's a good use of a grenade,"
