The Bloody Forest
Zander freezes while Jessee pulls on his arm to get up.
The ROARING comes again two more times.
'Kris, what in the fuck is going on here? What is that thing'?
'Your death dumbass. Get up and run. You're not strong enough to fight it. You're a Medic not a combat specialist. But if you want to stay and fight it be my guest'.

[Rewards: Hidden]
[Failure: Death]
'Fuck you and always giving me death for failure. You want me dead don't you'.
'No. You saved my life and now I'm trying to save yours Mr. Marine'.
Jessee lets go of his arm and hides behind a tree. The beast appears before Zander. He uses his inspection skill.
[Forest Young Bear Dragon]
[HP 1000/1000]
[Skills: Charge] [Jump] [Claw Swipe]
(Obvious)(Obvious)(does 2x strength damage)
"Fuck me running." He gets out two of the laser swords and ignites them while taking up a battle stance. "Come at me Bitch"!
The bear dragon ROARS, then charges at Zander. About halfway there it Jumps into the air.
Zander seeing that it is charging also takes off running at it while SCREAMING. He see that the bear dragon is now jumping so he decides to slide on his knees and raising his swords, cuts along the underside of it's belly with his blades all the way in. The momentum of the slide and the bear dragons jump allows him to cut it from stem to stern. Blood and all it's organs falling onto the ground.

The bear dragon ROARING in pain. Zander not waiting for it to recover runs up to it. Upon approaching, the bear dragon swipes at Zander just barely missing. Zander takes both laser swords in a x motion and slices it's head clean off.

'Yes.' He walks up to the young bear dragon and looks at it. He's able to see a shining coming from it. 'How do I harvest this thing? It's gotta to give me something good.' He reaches out his hand and the bear dragon disappears. He's awarded the head, 2 scales, and teeth.
'Yes!' What looks like a dice is rolled in his vision. Not seeing what it was a new item is placed in his inventory.

Jessee comes out from behind the tree towards Zander who's holding his new laser sword. She see how cool the hilt is. "That's a badass sword. That wasn't in the laboratory was it"?
Zander shakes his head. "No. I got this from the Bear Dragon. Did you know those things existed"?
"Not a 1000 years ago. Something is terribly wrong here. Why would they build a base in the middle of the forest. It doesn't make sense".
Zander moves the earth around. The sound of Metal being SCRATCHED is heard. Getting down on his knees, he moves the earth faster revealing what once was a metal road. They look back at the office like building and it's starting to make sense. In the 1000 years since Jessee was last awake something big happened to where Mother Nature took back over and changed everything including the wildlife. He looks at her before talking. "What type of war happened? Why did you leave the military"?
"There once was a race of superhuman like people that wanted to wipe us out at all costs and take over this planet and all our resources. When I was in the intelligence department of the military they had drawn up plans for a what would be called a nuke, to basically reset the whole planet and wipe these people out. The only part of my memory is that I was captured, used, and abused. I couldn't tell you what any access codes are or any plans to make weapons or even where I lived. I hope this helps".
Zander grabs her close and they walk away into the forest. "Do you know where we need to go to get to a main road? Do most old offices have a garage or parking lot"?
Jessee takes off around the backside of the building making Zander follow behind. At the backside of the office is what appears to be an old parking garage. It only has about fourteen stalls and a booth.
Zander walks up to the booth first. At the booth he can see that the old holographic board is broken, the till like thing is in one piece and what would only be close to a valets key board has no keys on it. On a wall he does find a map but it's destroyed beyond readable. He pushes a few buttons on the till and it pops open. Inside there's [600 chips] and nothing else. He tosses the card to Jessee. Walking into the garage he sees a sleeping something. He holds up his hand. He uses his inspection skill.
[Young Bear Boar]
[HP 500/500]
[Skills:???]
Pulling out laser swords he tries to sneak upon the sleeping animal.
BEEP BEEP
A car unlocks and the bear boar starts to stir. Seeing his chance at a possible sneak attack disappearing, he activates the charge skill. Barreling into the animal he swipes at its head.

The bear boar is temporarily stunned and Zander takes another swing at it.

With only 100hp left it goes into RAGE.
Zander needs to act quickly. He takes a few more swings at it.

[Rewards: 100 EXP] [100 chips]
[First Time Killing a Young Bear Boar: 600 EXP]
Zander is panting as he inspects the bear boar further. Again he sees that it's glowing and stretches out his hand. The body disappears, giving him a tusk, meat, and hide. At this point Zander is confused why he's getting parts of an animal. It's not like he can make anything from these scraps at this point. Flustered he does notice something different in his inventory. A soul stone. He inspects it deeper.
Zander walks over to the only car in the garage and gets into the driver seat while Jessee gets into the passenger seat. The doors close and lock them in.
Safe inside Zander speaks to Kris. 'So what do titles get me?' He looks at the car.
'It gives you special advantages. Pull up your titles and you'll see'.

'That seems like a nice perk. Now how do I drive this damn car'?
"Car start." Nothing happens. "Car turn on." Still nothing. Jessee LAUGHING at the situation. She pushes the little red button by the dash. The car starts up and the holographic board comes to life. A sexy woman voice speaks.
"Hello Dr. Blacksoul. It's been 1765 years since you drove me last. I hope your nap was a good one. The weather outside is a wonderful 84 degrees with no clouds in the sky and a light breeze. Tonight's low will be a chilly 45 degrees. Would you like me to take you back to your penthouse or your mistress place? Please select you destination by touching me".
They are both LAUGHING at the car. Zander chooses the penthouse first.
"Thank you Dr. Blacksoul. Please sit back and enjoy your ride. Now playing absolutely no music as you like. Please don't forget to pay the booth on our way out if you didn't already".
