"Ouch my head" Daniel said as he got up in an infirmary holding his head "Yes you're finally awake!!" Holly said as she hugged Daniel "wooh that's enough holly I'm not dead yet" Daniel responded as he moved Holly away. She turned and looked at him with a smug expression "Flustered much Daniel" Daniel stretched as he sat up "I'm not Flustered you loon" "you are too, I saw it" she whispered in his ear "I'm not doing this with you Holly" "doing what??" She replied with a blank expression "ugghhh" *Sigh* Daniel groaned as he covered Holly in a blanket.
Before Holly could retaliat a man in a lab coat walked into the room "oh Viktor's here" Holly said as she threw the blanket onto Daniel "Who's Vicktor?" Viktor then posed in dramatic fashion "FOOl.....I am the soul savior, deaths true nemesis his antithesis I AM THE.." "his this place is head of medicine" a voice said as she woman cut off Viktor and walked into the room "Sofia you really should stop cutting me off mid introduction" Viktor muttered "well with a dumb introduction like that i had to".Viktor then pulled Daniel's hand and injected him with some purple substance "hey what's that?!" Daniel yelled as he got up and clutched his ribs "FOOL... that is the Eternium formula meant to increase your bodies healing capabilities x12" Sofia then handed Daniel new clothes here wear this Bishop Michael been waiting to speak to you when you wake his in hall get changed and meet him there Holly will take you there" Daniel took the clothes "Thank you finally a normal person". Daniel then got changed, him and Holly headed off into the corridor. But Back in the infirmary behind the curtains "ouuu" she exclaimed as Sofia started to sniff Daniel's old clothes "I'm hearing some questionable noises coming from over there Sofia" Viktor said as he sat at his desk "Shut up Viktor it's science!" She replied *heavy breathing* "okay just don't make a mess over there again I just cleaned it yesterday" Viktor sat and thought to himself *That poor FOOL he really thinks she's normal if only he knew what she did to him while he was out cooled*.Daniel sneezed *hachu* "wooh my body feels light and my wounds are gone, that serums kinda cool" "Yeah it is" Holly replied optimistically "so you looked like you knew those two Holly " "yeah you were out for three days so I got to know some people" "wait....what three days!!" Daniel yelled "you took a real beating" she replied. "well i just noticed my bodies clean like I took a baths but if I was out for three days then who..." Daniel said as he turned to Holly "whoa don't look at me, Sofia is the one who took care of you real good care if I say so myself" Holly said as she suspiciously looked away Daniel's heart settled "Oh she's such a good person that's cool" he said as he felt relief.They finally got to the hall and found Bishop Michael and Holy Knight Arthur "Yaaay Mr Arthur you're back" Holly said as she ran towards him "Haha Holly how have you been?" "I'm fine, how are the twins" "look for yourself" Sir Arthur said as he pulled out the Cartel Twins and put one in Holly's hand but it was unexpectedly heavy and weighed her down "wooh it's heavy" "let's go to training room 7 my lady" Sir Arthur said as he stretched out his hand to her "ouu what a gentleman unlike someone I know" "Good luck Daniel my boy" Arthur said as he raised a thumb to Daniel and left with Holly.---*Oh what a surprise another idiot, I can't walk five minutes without meeting one here* Daniel thought to himself."Uhm.. Mr.... Bishop Michael Sir i was told to come see you"# "Yes let's get straight to the point I'll make this short walk with me" he said as they walked into an Elevator "while you were unconscious I brought you here." Micheal said as he brought Daniel to the top floor of the large structure "This is the Church or atleast a branch of the church to be specific the Eastern branch." Daniel walked out and he was amazed to see a Beatiful Ocean Side View "As you should already know this world of ours **_Vesperia_** has been over ran with otherworldly Creatures for as long as we can remember and each branch deals with specific types of problems" "So you're the military?" Daniel asked "Not quite we work to serve God, this branch deals specifically with the undead like that" Micheal said as he threw a throwing knife at some red creature that was flying at them "what the.. what was that" Daniel asked "come with me" Micheal replied as the got back in the elevator to the first floor where they spotted Viktor and Draven who walked passed them with a cage in it was a red devil like creature wrestling around in the cage. "Is that the thing you hit?" Daniel asked "Is that the newbie you sir Bishop" Draven asked as he pulled the cage "FOOL that is not your concern now move along" Viktor responded as the left the room.Daniel rubbing his head "okay can I be dropped off in town? This seems fun but it's not for me" "I can't let you go" "well I'm sorry but I want to leave and you can't make me stay" Daniel said. "Look boy" Micheal responded as he held his blade "I could kill you right now and it save all of us the trouble of protecting you" "I didn't ask you save me, did I? It's not my fault any of this happend" Daniel said as he looked straight into Michael's eyes "i just want a normal life" "Normal life?, You are already passed that you are a target and everywhere you go disaster will follow" Micheal said "So what does that mean I stay cooped up in here my whole life" Daniel responded "No I'll train you and if i see you are capable I'll grant you freedom to move around outside" Micheal replied "Okay fine I can take that".Week 1 in training room 4."You lack mental focus and discipline" Micheal said with his hands behind his back as he effortlessly evaded all of Daniel's attacks "you need Balance and Coordination" Daniel misses another swing of his wooden sword "I'll never be able to hit you" Daniel said as he sat down and gasped for air "you don't need to hit me just break through my scoop barrier" Micheal replied Daniel then got up and continued to try "Endurance and Stamina are important you won't survive out there like this Daniel swing again".Week 2 in training room 4. "Strength and Conditioning is this weeks lesson. You pick up the wooden sword and hit this doll a 100 times every 1hr for 5hrs" Micheal said as he left the room "blah blah blah hit the dummy" Daniel muttered, Michael came back to the room make that 6hrs" "ugghh" Daniel groaned.Week 3 in training room 4. "Weapon Proficiency since you want to wield a blade you need to have good techniques here the Cutlery book learn the basics stab, scoop and slice.Week 4 Day 1 Off. " Finally I get to rest that maniac going to kill me" Daniel thought to himself *Knocks on Door* "come in" "hey Daniel how's training going?" Holly asked "the psychotic Bishop is going to be the death of me, look look my hands are so sore I can't move them" Daniel said as he showed Holly his hands "well you gotta toughen up" "how's your training going?" he asked "I've mastered basic cuterly already and Sir Arthur is teaching me how to coat my guns in it, these are my babies I call them Alpha & Omega the beginning and end of anything that steps to me" Holly said optimistically as she showed Daniel her hand guns "Anyway I'm out training calls" Holly said as she left. "She's becoming more of a weirdo because of that guy" Daniel said *sigh*.9 months laterThe once green fields surrounding the Western Church branch had now turned into a sea of golden hues summer descended upon Vesperia. It had been a while since Daniel's training had begun, and he had grown as a combatant."You need to focus on your footing, Daniel," Bishop Michael said, as he demonstrated a swift footwork maneuver. "It's vital for balance and control." "Got it" Daniel replied. "Concentration, Daniel," Bishop Michael said. "You can't afford to be distracted." He said as he hit him with a cutlery shock wave and knocked Daniel to the ground "I'm trying," Daniel grumbled "Remember," Bishop Michael said, "It's not about sheer strength; it's about precision and focus let the cutlery flow through you. Let your body move on it's own feel every movement the blade is an extension of one's self fill it with your will." Daniel took a deep breath, centering himself. He swung his wooden sword with more finesse this time, following the Bishop's advice. Slowly, he began
Two Days later,After Bishop Michael and Sir Arthur had left Holly had been handed a customized Nun outfit it was a long white and black dress with two Sleets up to her waist and long black tights under It had a utility belt for ammunition and holsters for her guns and a back strap to hold her Shotgun The Colossus. "Wow I'm liking this look on me" Holly said as she looked into a mirror. Holly sat on her bed reading her favorite manga *Pour Out* "Light protects us from dark just as fire balances creation and destruction by bringing light to where its going and leaving darkness where its been." She read out loud "Hey Holls it's time let's go" Chelsea said as she poked her head into Holly's room "Alright sure" Holly replied "Oh and here my lucky wooden knife I used it on my first mission I'd like you to have it incase you can't reload in time" Chelsea said as she gave Holly the knife "Thanks Chelsea I really appreciate it. Here you take this bracelet I made it last night" "Thanks the blu
---Holly and Amanda had just started to get up as they witnessed April on the floor in a pool of her own blood. "I forgot how fragile most humans are," the vampire said in a smooth, mocking tone."APRIL! " Amanda screamed out as she burst out of the rubble and ran toward it in a fit of rage. Her technique was sloppy, and every attack she threw was effortlessly blocked by the Vampire's finger, further frustrating her.Holly watched the battle unfold and slapped herself mentally. "Come on, what am I doing?" she scolded herself as she got her guns out and started to shoot at Vampire. "Futile," he said, as all the bullets were deflected effortlessly.Meanwhile, back at the church, Daniel and Shawn were anxiously waiting. The team hadn't come back, and their com links were unreachable, they tried reaching Bishop Michael without success, "Where are they? Is Holly Okay?" Daniel paced back and forth. "We can't just sit here and wait damn it," Damien added "April and the others might be in d
"Whoa, how does that thing work?" Daniel asked, his eyes fixed on a colossal war hammer-like weapon."My weapon is a beauty, isn’t she?" Shawn replied with a grin.As Daniel examined the massive weapon, he noticed engraved words on its side: *"A symphony of power where ancient might harmonizes with cutting-edge innovation. With a commanding length of 1.2 meters, this colossal hammer bears twin thrusters that blaze to life upon impact, unleashing a cataclysmic surge. Each strike becomes a thundering crescendo of devastation, a weapon that redefines the art of war with every resounding blow."*"I call it the Dual-Thrust War Hammer.""It's like you grabbed a classic Maul hammer and slapped some rocket boosters on it," Daniel remarked."Because we did. Who doesn't want their swings to have that extra 'oomph'? Feel that solid weight," Shawn said as he handed the hammer to Daniel. "It's like a hug from an old friend!""It's like swinging a relic from the past but with a modern twist. So, wh
# **Four months Prior**Amidst the dense trees, the thud of Daniel's sprint echoed through the forest, his breaths quickening with each step. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting fleeting shadows as he darted through the foliage. "This is not my idea of weekend training, sir!" Daniel shouted in frustration. The massive grizzly bear pursued him, a menacing force of nature with fur that seemed to absorb the sunlight.Its fur, a dull and coarse blend of dark browns and muted grays, stood out against the vibrant greens of the forest. Towering at an imposing 10 feet on its hind legs and 6 feet on all fours, the bear's scarred and weathered body spoke of battles faced and survived. Glowing red eyes out for blood it's jagged claws extended from massive paws and it weighed a staggering 1,648 pounds."Daniel, there's no escape; you must face it head-on," Arc Bishop Michael said through the frantic pace of the chase. Daniel, breathless, yelled in response, "How do you expect me to fight
Meanwhile, at the end of the central passageway, Damian marveled as they stepped through the concealed entrance. "Whoa," he thought, "I can't believe this leads to such a massive library." His eyes widened with curiosity. "It's like a hidden world of books, centuries of knowledge. If nothing else, vampires are good at bookkeeping."A grin tugged at his lips. "Maybe they have books on mythical cutlery." As he surveyed the surroundings, Damian felt Emily's hand grasp his left hand. "Don't be afraid, it's just us in here," Damian reassured, attempting to pull away, but Emily's grip remained firm. "Huh?" Damian tried again, but Emily didn't yield. "I knew something wasn't right about you," Damian said, reaching for one of his blades on his back with his free hand. "Emily's voice quivered as she muttered, "Not again... I never wanted this." She faced an internal struggle as she succumbed to the uncontrollable darkness inside of her. Covering his blade in cutlery, Damian attempted to slash
Verona Italy, Haunted peaks stronghold.12:31 am Verona time, Daniels location.12:31 am Florence time, Holly's location The Church western.Daniel crashed through the window of the upstairs corridor, shards of glass flying in all directions as he rolled to his feet. The sensation of glass shattering around him, the rush of cold air against his skin, and the jolt as he hit the ground. Before he could catch his breath, his eyes locked onto Soul, who stood across the room with a predatory grin."You just had to make a dramatic entrance, didn't you?" Soul mocked Daniel "More like a painful entrance," Daniel muttered as he got up and rushed after Soul, his fists flying in a flurry of blows. Each strike was met with Soul's deft parries "I've only needed one hand this whole fight, not impressed," Soul boasted as he effortlessly blocked Daniel's attacks with one hand. Gritting his teeth, Daniel struggled to gain the upper hand, his frustration mounting with each failed strike. With a swift k
Daniel's eyes fluttered open, his head throbbing as he found himself hanging upside down in a chilling meat room. The grisly sight of lifeless bodies surrounding him sent a shiver down his spine. "What the hell... How did I end up here?" he muttered to himself, trying to make sense of his situation.A sharp jolt of pain shot through his body, drawing his attention to his impaled leg. "Son of a...!" Daniel winced as he thought of his next move. He needed to find a way down from this.As he carefully attempted to release himself from the hook, his eyes caught sight of another figure, awake but gagged, tied up near the wall. They were positioned close to a button that controlled the chains suspending Daniel. In a hushed voice, Daniel called out to the captive. "Hey, you! Can you reach the damn button? Lower me down!" he said, pointing at it.The person, groggy and disoriented, moved and tried to comply. With Daniel's help, they managed to hit the button, causing the chains to descend rapi

Daniel winced in pain as he struggled to his feet, his body aching from the impact of being tossed aside by Zephyrus, "What have you done with Holly?".Zephyrus laughed sadistically, relishing in Daniel's distress. "Ah, your dear Holly," he taunted. "She may very well be lying dead in a ditch somewhere. Or perhaps she's become a delightful feast for my loyal nightwalkers. Who knows?" he replied, a twisted grin on his face. "You sick bastard!" Daniel said "you and me both Daniel aren't you the one who left those people back at the asylum to die, does little holly know her savior is a heartless coward too" "I'm going to kill you" Daniel shouted as his ran towards in fury Zephyrus.Meanwhile, Holly's hazy vision began to clear as she regained consciousness. She found herself lying on the ground, her wounds hurting. As she looked up, she caught sight of a man with long blonde hair, gracefully dispatching the nightwalkers with his silver and gold handguns known as the Cartel Twins, Fate an
