The Weird Hunters group that came from Vacuo

Late Night Chat and Isabella Training.

 As Allatriste sat near the fire, he couldn't help but think about the strange group of people he was adventuring with. It was quite comedic to him, here he was trying to keep himself hidden adventuring with a group that couldn't stand out more if they tried.

Why do I always find myself surrounded by the strangest people? He thought to himself, as he began to doodle in the sand with the toe of his boot. But despite this, they have grown on me. He found himself reminiscing on his old team that he worked with.

He noticed Texas stirring in her sleep, murmuring something about Kamikazes inbound. Allatriste couldn't help but laugh at this, he sure was getting sentimental in his old age. Suddenly with a startling shout Texas awoke, "Those German guns got us bracketed," and as if in response a massive metal object fell off of her.

"Whoopsie, I forgot I had that old 240 Cm shell," she said as she picked it up and put it somewhere. Allatriste couldn't help but be slightly afraid of that "shell."

"Is that thing dangerous?" he asked. In response, Texas just shook her head no.

"My old crew disarmed it after it hit my wardroom." She responded.

In response, Allatriste just pulled a flask from his coat and took a swig of water. "So what were you dreaming about, it seemed to have gotten you flustered." He asked.

"Just some of my old duties I had to do. The old fights I had to endure before coming here." She responded. Moved over and decided to sit next to Allatriste.

"What about you, you seem to be deep in thought," She asked, gesturing to the doodles he made in the sand.

"Similar to you I was lost in the thoughts of my old duties. Mostly just reminiscing about my old team." He replied.

"True it seems each of us is haunted by our past." As she mentioned this she gestured toward the other two, who were struggling to sleep.

"Makes you wonder why we were brought here, but alas only the brothers know why," Allastriste stated as he looked towards the night sky.

"That is true, in my world many of us Kancolle wondered why we were created. Also if we were humans or just machines in human form." She said with a pained voice. "For me, it never mattered, I only wanted to help my sisters and protect those I cared about."

"That is true, where I came from people like me are called Meteron, and it was just discovered that we were artificially created to be the best warriors for our planet," Isabella stated as she wandered over to the group.

"These things make you wonder about what our purposes are. For me, it is similar to Tex in that I believe our purpose is to aid those that need it." Allatriste explained.

The three of them fall into deep thought as they think about this. They were brought out of this reprieve by Geruerro who shot up with a shout, he quickly looked around.

"For a second I was worried we were under attack." He explained as he got up and joined them.

"I guess since none of us are tired, we could get started with some training. " Allatriste, as he stood up.

"Right, we gotta make sure that we don't do too much colloquial," Isabella said as she looked around.

"That correct," Allatriste said.

With this, they discussed how to do it, and agreed to do a one-on-one against each other. They would each take turns going against Allatriste, and he would give pointers as they fought to help them learn.

"Lastly we need to learn to capitalize on each other strengths," Allatriste stated, during the discussion.

"Like when I brought the big mech towards Tex so she could take it out," Isabella stated, pride evident in her voice.

"Yes, but did you forget I also took out most of the town when I attacked that thing." Tex retorted back to her.

"That is true, the Frau is correct. Maybe next time you could use some of your smaller caliber weapons." Guerrero argued.

"That is true, maybe I could use my AA guns next time, and save my main guns for when we are not in a city," Texas stated observantly.

"Exactly, and Guerrero, no more flying off the handle and attacking civilians. You gotta exercise some more self-control when in a fight." Allatriste explained.

"That is true, I am deeply apologetic for my actions," Guerrero responded.

"Speaking of, what exactly did you do Isabella during that fight, the only time I saw you was when you brought the mech to attack me," Texas asked.

"Hmm, well I just did what I always do during a fight, I ran around and attacked anyone that seemed open. Making sure to hit hard and fast. I am not exactly able to withstand hits, so I gotta keep myself hidden when I fight." She explained.

"Well I guess we better start practicing for a bit, we gonna have to get moving here soon. Let me see how you fight Isabella. I didn't get to see you in action during the last bout, so I can't provide you many pointers currently." Allatriste stated, he stood up and drew a saber. Isabella in response summoned some blue cubes that materialized into a strange-looking sword. Its blade glowed with a red tent and the handle was building to the back of the blade.

She quickly disappeared and then reappeared in front of Allatriste, clank. Allatriste quickly brought his sword to counter her attack. She quickly leaped back and in her opposing hand summoned a small gun, she quickly fired off a short burst. Allatriste summoned a clear ice wall to block this attack. As Isabella landed, he tapped his foot. Isabella noticed the ice forming on her foot and leaped free.

"Hmm, what the matter old man, still relying on the old freezing me a solid trick. Joke on you it won't work on me twice." She taunted. Suddenly Allatriste moved from behind his Ice wall, and summoned an ice trail, allowing him to slide straight toward Isabella before she could react.

Clank, Isabella decided to block the attack with her arm. Everyone was surprised as her arm, managed to hold back the sword. "Surprised, remember I told you I am an artificial creation, and one of the few cyborgs that they created." She replied, she fired a shot burst into Allatriste's torso. He quickly leaped off and smiled.

"Overall you fight with a good mix of both offense and defense. I guess there ain't much I can teach you. Despite this make sure you tend to get a bit cocky. Make sure you keep in mind that some people might fight dirty. I believe that enough for now, next let me see how you fight, Guerrero." He said with a smirk.
