As the trio of friends walked into the main hall, they saw a relieved looking Rita waving her hand frantically in the air, beckoning them over to a table. Hailey was still sulking from her episode with Ryan in the training rooms.
"Where were you guys?!?" Rita exclaimed.
"Ryan was in the training room... again," replied Gray rolling his eyes.
"So what weapon did you choose, Ryan?" Rita asked. She got a blank stare from Ryan, and then he blew up at her.
"WE'VE ALL KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE WE STARTED TRAINING RENA! SINCE WE WERE 8! WE ARE ALL 15 NOW AND YOU STILL DON'T KNOW MY DANG WEAPON?!" shouted Ryan.
Rita had a stunned look on her face. "Err... umm..." she stuttered.
"IT'S AN AXE RITA! A FREAKING AXE!! I'm getting my food!" finishing his tantrum, he stormed off to the line. Rita looked close to crying, she saw Ryan coming back and shakily said she was going to get her food as well. When Ryan arrived back at the table he was still fuming.
"You know Ryan, you didn't ha-" Ryan cut Nicky off.
"Yeah, yeah, I didn't have to blow up at her like that. You know what though? I don't care! The outside world is trying to kill us! It's an eat or be eaten world okay?! All of our parents were forced to come to live here because of Frighters!! Nature itself is against us!! We need to know each other's weapons and have each other's backs! Otherwise, we will all go down to the Frighters and be known as the team who killed the Rocky mountain stronghold!" he finished. He wolfed down the last bits of his food, shoved his tray into the recycling tin, and stormed off to his dorm.
The walls shuddered as Ryan came rushing into the room and slammed the door behind him. Denny jumped at the startling noise.
"Chill!! Those Frighters are gonna know where the base is now!" he exclaimed, eyes wide with mock fear. Ryan glared at him and stormed into his small room. "What ha--"
"Shut up Denny. I ain't talkin' 'bout it. If you try and make me, you'll have a flame-throwing axe residing in your spine Ryan snarled with fury as Denny started backing out of the room.
"Oof!" Gray exhaled, after bumping into a thoroughly shaken Denny.
"Oh! Sorry Gray," he apologized quickly.
"It's fine, I was actually coming to ask if you wanted to come to the training room with Rita, Nicky, and me. I figured you were gonna be in a state after Ryan blew through here like the hurricanes down south." he finished.
"Oh, sure sounds great!" a grin blazed across Denny's face, "Let's go kick some zombie butt!!"
