Peering from behind a rock, was a baby-sized bunny. Cute chubby cheeks along with ruby-coloured eyes. They had a focused expression, the muzzle of their weapon aimed at the jaw of a ginormous monster a few meters away. A sigh escaped the lips of the bunny, "Yeah I see it alright. How could I miss it though? It's right in front of me." Her gloved-hand pressed a button on the device attached to her elf-like ear. It seemed to be a communicator in order to communicate with her comrades, that were like her, hiding behind rocks. A chuckle was heard on the other line.

"So what do you say? Krullie dear? Take it down?" It was Ferid Bathory, Demon extraordinaire that risked their health bar to face any monster he encountered in this game. Currently, he was hiding right across from the bunny, a mocking expression seen on his face as he glanced over to his comrade. The bunny sighed once more, why did she decide to even team up with him in the first place? Oh right, probably because she practically knew this man in real life. Long-time rival, in not only politics but proving the other members of their team who got the most kills in this video game. She would have been forced to join his squadron in the end. "If you get too close, you might just die." She warned him. Ferid positioned his KTR-09 on the rock. He shut an eye.

"That's about 200 meters for you, Krullie. If I do die, I'll know you'll be there to avenge me~" he teased, occasionally peering at her for a reaction. But the bunny girl didn't flinch one bit. In fact, when he turned his head for the third time to catch a change of facial expression, she had completely left that spot. He chuckled and picked up his weapon from the solid support. He chased after the pink haired girl running ahead of him. A smile lit on his lips, she was seriously fast. She could outrun him anytime, that's one thing he admired about the pink bunny. Her ultra-speed and her strength. Each time they battled on here, she would most likely win. Not to mention, in real life as well.

The monster was towering over the two individuals. Krul growled as she lifted her beloved weapon in the air. Trying to find her target's vitals. "I can't see anything...ugh this sucks! I bet I need to go higher!" She ambitiously groaned as all that entered her field of vision was the monster's massive leg. Ferid laughed behind her, "I can't believe you got an avatar that's just as short as you are." The silver-haired man remarked, stepping aside as the monster planned its next move: which was to crush them. The two individuals moved away. Krul almost injured herself with the front roll she overdid. "If I cant get close, i can't decrease its health by a bit." She informed not only Ferid, but her comrades that were on the lookout.

A hum was heard from the other line. "If you could climb up its neck or at least shoot it's right eye, you'll deal an immense amount of damage." The sniper of the team, Crowley Eusford advised her, he kept his M14-EBR fixed on the moving monster's forehead. However, it took a ton of effort to follow that spot since, like said earlier, it kept moving. Crowley was an expert sniper but even he can't get perfect headshots every opponent he fights. Ferid moved away from this target and began unloading his first magazine on its sides. A gasp of amazement was heard from his line, "Wowi Crowley, how do you know all that?" He asked, innocently. It was about the fifth time he requested for his backstory. The red and black haired man exhaled before firing his shot, it landed on the monster's stomach. Completely missed.

"I already told you. I used to work in the military before transferring to the office. It's common knowledge for a soldier." He repeated with disinterest. The man proceeded to reload, a single sniper bullet entered the M14-EBR's chamber. Ferid kept firing his bullets from a good six- or seven meters away. Red polygon fragments spilled out of the wounds traveling from the monster's sides all the way to its right leg. Krul on the other hand, dashed towards her target's left leg that was currently pressed down on the sandy flooring. She visualized a ramp through the fleshy and stretchy limb. She nodded, yes this would be her ticket up there. "Aha, don't fall now~! I'd hate to catch you~!" Ferid taunted from his spot as he watched the bunny sprint her way up.
