Grey squirmed around in bed, trembling. His leg was still injured, and he regretted going out to help Ashe. Sure, he got to meet Vent and Giro and re-meet Aile, but his leg was killing him. As he tossed and turned, he coughed. What was going on?
"What is that?" He whispered, climbing out of his bed. As he looked at the door, there was some mist seeping under it. Grey looked at it, confused. He coughed more as the ground shook. He stopped moving and listened. There was something outside. After the rumbling was gone, there was a buzzing noise. Grey was starting to feel like there was something wrong. Ay popped up and looked at him.
"Grey, you should go back to sleep or something," Ay commented. "Alright," Grey responded, wrapping a blanket around him as he curled up into a ball and slept.
The next morning, Grey crawled out of his bed and walked to the door. He coughed, seeing as there was mist in the area. Ay popped out and shoved Grey's cheek. Grey looked at the Biometal.
"We should find Ashe," Ay said. "Yeah, let's find her," Grey said, walking out of Hunters Camp and into Cinq Ville.
As Grey walked, he tripped. He climbed to his feet and looked at what he tripped over. A dead hunter. Their neck seemed to have a tumor on it, their mouth foaming. Grey flinched at the sight. Ay pushed Grey towards the city, urging him to continue.
"Ay, what's the deal with you?!" Grey hissed, causing buzzing to be heard. "We need to Megamerge and fucking. Run!"Ay screamed, causing Grey to quickly merge with him.
As the buzzing got closer, Grey dashed. As he got to the city, he eyed a nearby supermarket and darted inside. He quickly unmerged and looked around. A bunch of people were here. Probably shopping for stuff.
Suddenly, someone poked Grey. He flinched. "Relax, it's just me," someone said. Grey turned around to see Ashe. Grey hugged her.
"Ashe!" Grey shouted lightly, tightened his grip around her. "Hey little buddy. Shouldn't you be resting?" Ashe teased, pulling Grey's cheek. "Hey! We were worried about you!" Ay hissed. "That's nice. I was just getting some drinks," Ashe reasoned. "Okay, we were just concerned since you usually wake me up," Grey explained. Ay then told Ashe about the buzzing noise and the dead hunter.
"Yeah, I heard and saw that to," Ashe said, scratching her head.
"Should we stay here?" Ay was worried.
"Yeah, lets."
Suddenly, there was buzzing.
