Carter Sparks ~ grouchypotato Cryptid Battle [Currier] by efcdt_official

Carter hiked upwards on the steep slope of a rocky hill, he guarded his face against the snow as he glared forward with stoic determination. Something, a mere gut feeling, kept him going ever since he left Clint's house.

He had no idea what awaited him where his feet lead him, but he had to find out.

Ahead of him, blurred by the snow, was a group of bright lights ahead. As he got closer he realized what it was. "A mine?"

Piff!

The crunching of snow under an adversaries feet alerted Carter of their presence in the snow. A little ahead of him was a tentacled, man-like beast carrying a big lump of Silver. It looked like it wanted a fight, Carter took a quick scout of his surroundings, "So much for run and gun."

Suddenly the beast charged at him with the speed of a pro athlete, "He's fast!" A quick side step allowed him to dodge it, or so he thought.

With one of its tentacles out the Currier grabbed carter with its inescapable suction cups and dragged him along with it down the steep slope he had just managed to almost clear. The world seemed to flip like a pancake as he tumbled over, "Goddamnit!"

But it wouldn't be that easy. Carter whipped his arm around and slashed the monster's tentacle off with the light-infused knife. Untethered, the monster and the monster hunter separated as they crashed downhill.

When they came to a halt, a badly bruised Carter staggered to his feet, dizzy from being slammed around so much. As he reached for his forehead, a warm liquid coated his fingertips, as he observed his hand he knew immediately what it was. "Blood."

He turned to the monster that was also just getting back on its feet, "I'd love to patch this up but it looks like I'll have to date."

The curried growled as it scowled at Carter, mourning it's missing tentacle.

Carter laughed breathlessly, "Looks like we fell for each other, huh? You'd better be careful."

Once again it charged at him, still carrying the big lump of ore.

Carter's face stiffened, "Mona might get jealous." He whipped out Mona's pistol and took a shot at it, to which it responded by blocking with the lump of silver. Unfazed he took out his own pistol as well, "Then we'll play this game!"

He steadied himself, calming as the monster approached him, then he closed his eyes.

He grinned. "This is your punishment for making Mona jealous."

"Lover's Demise!"

He fired both guns at once, and in turn, both shots synchronized beyond imagination. "Taste the bullets of a husband and wife."
