The vision was vivid. It happened whenever he ate too much and fell into a deep slumber.

 

The chain bit deep into kombuses throatt as a sigular figure slowly walks into the carnival and looks up.

 

"Hey you..."

 

The cowled figure says , shouldering his rifle.

 

"You trying to come down?"

 

He said, rousing the hung hybrid from his hallucination induced slumber

[Armoured Priest]

"Where are we?" Kombuse said hoarsely, being made worse by the fake gasmask, trying to see where they are. He could see most of the carnival from the perch he was chained too. Everything felt stiff, from his limbs to the blue and black camouflage clothing that was apart of him. It also didn't felt like he had any of his stuff either, again. With how tired he felt, it wasn't hard for Ozer-ga to come to the fore. The gasmask split into tooth filled maw of molted blue flesh as the blue eyepieces of the mask opaqued and irises formed. It took a moment to look around before it came to a conclusion."....It happened again!" It roared as it tried to jerk his body around to break free in futile effort. It looked down at the hooded man. "You there, were are we?!" It demanded before the mask went back to being normal. "Can you get us down, I have to pee!" Kombuse pleaded. "What are you doing?! We do not know this human, don't let him think he has the advantage." Ozerga said to Kombuse in his mind. "But my bladder is starting to huuuurt." Kombust said as if in real pain. "Work through it!" it shouted at him. Kombuse looked back down, not even thinking how it all looked to the new comer. "Please?" he asked.

[Thugren]

the figures stance doesnt waver, as he removes his helmet and exposes a clean sahven head and bright green eyes.

 

"If i get you down, you join me. No questions asked."

[Armoured Priest]

"Like......friends!" Kombuse said joyfully, the idea of someone wanting to be around them. Then the mask became something between the two states as Ozer-ga wanted to say a few words. "How about no!" It shouted at him before gurgling noises were made. "Ozer-ga, we are going to go hungry and wetpants just because you're being silly. It can't be that bad, lets just say yes." Kombuse said, being nice to the ghoul in him. "Over my dead body." It grumbled. "That'll happen sooner than you think." Kombuse said seriously, making the ghoul pause for a moment. ".....Fine." it relented. The mask returned to normal and Kombuse just nodded his head. "OK, but bathroom break first." he said, his one condition.

[Thugren]

the figure lifts his rifle and fires, a ssigle perfectly placed shot shattering the chain as the ghoul falls several stories and lands on the ground with a massive thundertous thud, the earth cracking slightly.

 

"my names talos..."

 

He says, kicking the ghouls head slowly.

 

"Your name?"

[Armoured Priest]

"Owww." Kombuse moaned as he rolled onto his side, more dazed than hurt. The clothing moved and shifted back into place after the brutal impact, returning to looking like they were made of cloth and not living flesh. "Kombuse." he said as he tried to stood up. His body then went stiff before he shot up to standing straight as if ignoring what happened. "Ozer-ga" The mask growled with great disdain and lips pulled back to expose the teeth, before going back to Kombuse. "...Where's all my stuff." He said as he padded himself, not sure where the two axes went or the gun that was issued to him a long time ago.

[Thugren]

he tosses a bag onto the ghouls chest with a heavy thud.

 

"had to kill a few people to get them back...but they are there."

 

Talos smiles and cocks his head.

 

"Get your ass up.."

[Armoured Priest]

"I am up." Kombuse said confused as he opened the bag to pull out his things. He slipped the handles of two axes into loops that formed along the belt line, the loops tighten around the axes. These were things Ozer-ga picked up, the only thing it was really attached too simply because of the carnage he can make with them. The last think he pulled out was an assault rifle with a sling and a couple of extra magazines. It was grey with no attachements except for a bayonet attached to it. The only marking it had was a crest of a burning rose on it stamped into the metal. He hugged it as if it was the more precious thing in the world to him, and it was. Sliding the sling over his shoulder he looked to his new friend. "So, were we going?" He asked while Ozer-ga grumbled.

[Thugren]

the dream fades, and you wake up.

 

The dark cool room he had fashioned in his safehouse comes into view as you see Talos in the corner, sharpening his weapon.

 

"Get your ass up sunshine."

 

he says, a shower of sparks coming from the hetstone as he shears the blade.

 

"Were going to be goign through the white house today.

[Armoured Priest]

With Kombuse still so sleepy, Ozer-ga took over for now to deal with the speaking side of things about their 'trips'. "The white house? What, got a formal complaint to file?" Ozer-ga asked him sarcasticlly as he grabbed the rifle and axes. It disdained the gun, fighting at range didn't seem as thrilling as getting in close. He also dislike the memories the boy had attached to the firearm, but he slung it around his shoulder anyways.

[Thugren]

talos loads his shells and getsd bandoleir.

 

"Theres information i want there.
"

 

He says simply and slaps the back of kombuses helmet.

 

"Back in the cage goul....YOu know the rules."

[Armoured Priest]

Ozer-ga growled at the man's flippant disregard before subsuming back and letting Kombuse come back. He blinked a couple of time before yawning. "Hey Talos! Oh, are we going on another trip?" he asked talos as he looked down, seeing himself already set to go with the weapons to do whatever it was. Something about a house, that was white.

[Thugren]

Talos leads them both downstairs and seals off the safe house. The sprawling ruins of washington dc spread around them as a heavy mist fills the air.

 

"I beleive the us sealed protoype weaponry in the white house...Or at least has some clues as to where the cashe is.

 

He loads his rifle and slings it over his shoulder.

 

"Did you have a good nap kombuse?"

[Armoured Priest]

Kombuse nodded his head enthusiastically. "Yep yep." He goes to follow Talos as a look of confusion appears on his eyes under the lenses of the gasmask. "Wait....isn't that really far from here? Like, the other side of america?" he asked, remembering where they are which he thought was the east coast. 'Well this is going to be a long fucking trip.' Ozer-ga grumbled in the back of Kombuse's mind.

[Thugren]

Talos smiles and looks at the ruined neighbor hoods of bokon....Or waht used to be hoboken, and smiled.

 

"yea its going to take several months.....But hey. "

 

He begins  to walk, chewing on a sugar cane stick.

 

"We aint got nothing better to do."

[Armoured Priest]

"Should we get a car? Then we can have a roadtrip! I always wanted to go on a trip!" Kombuse said excitedly. His mood would dampen down some as they walked through the remains of the neighborhood. He wasn't sure of what happened here but it reminded him of what happened to his home sanctuary. He never thought about asking Talos, he always looked to be thinking of something when he looked at the buildings here. "....what happned here talos?" he asked innocuously.

[Thugren]

Talos smiles and walks over to one of the few bakeries, walking inside and talking to the owner.

 

"Im gonna be leaving brett."

 

He tells the old man who smiles.

 

"Ahh....I figured as much..."

 

he reaches behind the counter and hands them both two large sandwiches.

"You boys tell the sanctuary guards.....Well miss ya kid."

 

Talos smiles and hands Kombuse the massive hoagie and tips his head.

 

"Well miss the sandwiches old man!"

 

The streets are quiet in the small settlement sanctuary and talos smiles.

 

"This city was barely safe from the nukes when thye fell......they managed to put up walls and make a safe place here.....YOu sleep too much bud."

 

HE takes a massive bite of his sandwich and leads you both to the large walls

[Armoured Priest]

"Bye!" Kombuse waved at the old man before they left. He really liked the sandwiches here and he was really nice to them. He held the sandwich eagerly but he waited. "But, I like sleeping. I don't have to think when I am sleeping." he admitted. When it looked like no one was really looking at them, the mask splitted open to reveal the maw in disguise before taking a huge bite out of the hoagie. "But ,why we going to look for bigger weapons then?" Kombused asked with a stuffed mouth, wondering why he would want such destructive weapons if something like that made the neighborhood look the way it was.

[Thugren]

'Theres a war coming Kombuse.."

 

He says through a moutful as the doors open and he leads him into the wasteland.

 

"I hear that rebel commander Cain is causing quite the stir.

[Armoured Priest]

He swallowed the lump of food before he spoke. "Commander who? wait, I thought he was dead or something?" Kombuse asked him before taking another bite. He didn't really kept up with current events, usually either too boring or too depressing to him, so he was more out of the loop than most people here. Ozer-ga would watch the news though, especially stuff Kombuse found depressing or involved huge number of casualties on whatever side was participating. 'Some little up start fuck in the middle of nowhere America, what the hell has he done lately?' It grumbled to kombuse, waiting for Talos to explain it to Kombuse.
