002

As Karieon Let out his mechanized roar, all the monsters on the island slightly shuddered by the volume. The only 2 monster's didn't shudder was the Large ape that vowed to make itself the alpha of this island, and the skull crawler that just woke from it's slumber.

—-Karieon POV—-

'Systems are a go, hah I've always wanted to say that. Anyway everything seems fine except some of the minor and meh kinda details, like how most of my wires are showing and the metal on my hook like arms is really weak but really sharp. I send a scan throughout my entire body and find nothing out of the ordinary except I don't have any in built weapons besides my own body....I remember the MUTO's have a EMP ability and I probably do too but just don't have the parts necessary to use it welp time to explore.'

Karieon looks around to find any life form using his sensors, once he's sure there's nothing there he slowly but surely moves out. moving 1 knuckle/claw after another, after taking 2 minutes to figure out how to move his clawish arms he runs out into the forest, while running he comes across a skull crawler eating the flesh of a random monsters carcass.

'Ok this is it! I'm ready if I don't advance now i never Will!' Karieon thinks to himself while he blends into the surroundings, silently strengthening his will he jumps out bringing his under claws high in air and then slamming them down into the back of the skull crawler and bringing them back prying open its flesh. The skull crawler screams before thrashing around wildly trying to shake off the Mecha-MUTO, Karieon lifts his two front claws up before jabbing them into the neck of the skull crawler killing it.

'I guess sneak attacks are way easier than they seem' Karieon thinks to himself as he pry's his arms out of the neck of the skull crawler and walks backward a bit. Karieon continues walking for a bit in the forest before spotting a cave, using his sensors he scans the cave and finds an extremely large spider that's around 19 feet inside of it. 'I could fight it.....nah it's pointless, welp back to looking for scrap' he thinks to himself before turning away, but as he does the spider notices him and rushes towards him swiping with it's pointy legs. His sensors notify him of the danger and his wings quickly spread out and his rockets activate pushing him into the sky before the spider could attack him, Karieon takes advantage of the confusion and brings his legs up before diving down into the overgrown spider destroying it's torso while simultaneously crushing it completely. 'This is why I hate spiders...now I'm covered in some weird blood, oh well the caves open now' as he moves towards the entrance, he stops only to have his sensors pick up 100's of eggs laid in side 'This is going to be a long night...' he thinks to himself as he walks inside the cave

---20 Minutes Later---

'I can't believe this! that was so tiring!! first I got stuck in a net of webs which took me 5 minutes to get out of them, then I fell on some eggs crushing them which caused some my wires to short circuit which then caused me to spas out, and finally I got attacked by a group of 100 baby spiders which was incredibly annoying!!' Karieon thinks aloud as he starts to scavenge the cave for anything useful.

As he continues walking through the deep cave he finds an abandoned ship 'Yes! first treasure!! dang it...the ship is cut in half...it was probably a skull crawler that did that. Oh well not my problem' he assures himself as he glides towards the ship. 'How do I absorb it? do I eat it? or do I just touch it? Only one way to find out' Karieon thinks as he try's eating it first, the moment his mechanical teeth sink into the ship it started to shake before being completely sucked in his mouth.

Once Karieon finished consuming the ship his wings grew longer, his height raised to 29ft, His clawed arms widened in size and 4% of his wires got covered in metal plates. 'Woah that felt weird, it's like being hungry but you never knew...not to mention the metal tasted horrible but since it is rusted that makes much more sense. Actually I feel kind of stronger than last time, I feel like I could take on the world..' before Karieon could continue his inner speech his sensors pick up something to his left moving extremely fast towards him, before he could react two large spiky arms slammed into his side sending him spiraling into the wall of the cave.

As he looks up he sees a 35 foot skull crawler with a number of scars and extremely big arms, as he and the monster lock metaphorical eyes it roars at him before charging, Karieon's flinches in fear before activating his wings and gliding over to the side of the cave, as the monster brings it's arm down on the spot he was just at the cave shakes slightly, Karieon seeing this realizes he has to get out of here. Strengthening his will once more he activates his rockets and boosts towards the entrance, the monster which he nicknamed the demon crawler chases after him matching his speed in seconds as they both start to near the entrance karieon hastily searches through his systems trying to find anything that can help him take on the demon. 'Come on there's gotta be something! The ship can't have only just provided large fuel and more metallic endurance, wait I have an idea but it's going to be hella risky...' Karieon exits the cave and fly's to the left before landing down in the forest, the monster standing 7 feet away from him lets out a roar and charges towards him once more.

Karieon seeing this waits and waits and once the monster is about 4 feet away from him with it's large arm raised he pushes his meter to max volume before letting out a ship enhanced roar, for a second the monster freezes, karieon seeing this uses the opportunity to jam his large claw into the chest of the monster which draws a decent amount of blood but simultaneously snaps the monster out of it's confusion, the monster then slams it's hand into Karieon's chest deeply denting it and sending him flying back as he's sent crashing throughout the forest he maneuvers his body mid air before activating his rockets and flying deeper into the forest 'Dammit!! I put everything into that attack and it only slightly hurt him?! There's gotta be something that can help me'

While Karieon continues to fly through the forest his sensors notify him of the demon crawler chasing him, karieon testing out his enhanced systems sets his sensors to scan for any metal and get's a ping to the right of him, he makes a wide turn before jumping and flying towards the ping as fast as he can. Once he arrives he sees an old crashed jet sticking out of the ground running as fast he physically can he bites into it absorbing it, as he absorbs it his wings lengthen and become more refined, his rockets become larger and better and he grows to 31 feet but before he could go over the various upgrades the monster slams it's entire body into him, sending him flying into the ground destroying most of his sensors and damaging most of his insides, Karieon then realizes he cant move any of his arms due to the damage and starts to panic, the Demon crawler seeing it's enemy not moving it lets out a weird sadistic laugh before slowing walking towards it.

Karieon pushes his mind into light speed thinking of a plan and anything to help him out and he comes across an upgrade that he missed. he inwardly chuckles, as the monster is about finish him off his new and improved rockets active sending him into the sky he stops mid air and now floats, the monster lets out a growl of annoyance before roaring at him once more, as the monster roars Karieon laughs before activating his new upgrade in which the Gatling guns in his shoulders come out, the monster seeing this freezes before looking at him with glare which would translate to you wouldn't. Karieon inwardly grins before activating the guns blasting lots of holes inside the body of the skull crawler officially killing it. As Karieon watches the monster fall he sighs in relief before de-activating the guns and flying around for any metal. As he crashes down onto the ground he pushes with all his strength and bites into the back of a metal plane and as he absorbs it, his systems repair themselves and his damaged parts upgrade.

'Oh my god I thought I was gonna die.....It's only been 1 day and I've almost died, I seriously need to adapt if want any chance of surviving. But in order to adapt...I'll need some more metal...' Karieon thinks to himself as he fly's back to the cave
