[b]Earth,Old Russia,Cosmodrome[/b] Ethan looked over the hill with a broad smile on his face, his faithful companion, Charley, a female lab mix, sits patiently next to him, tail wagging. He never got a ghost, he wasn't resurrected, and when given the offer he turns it down. Most of the time other guardians give him weird looks when they see his "pet". He hates that word, "pet" all it is is the word "slave" sugar-coated, "best friend" is more accurate. "One captain, 3 dregs, 2 vandals, and 4 shanks, hmph, this isn't even a challenge. Ready Charley." Her ears perk up at the mention of her name. "Now!" They both slide down the hill, Ethan picking off the two vandals with quick, easy, shots to the skull with his prized hand cannon, The Last Word. A first glance at Charley and she seems like an average dog, but on the battle field, she's nothing short of a wolf. She dodges fire from a dregs shock pistol and tears it's throat out with ease. Ethan ducks behind cover and vaults over surprising the remaining dreg and blasts him with his shotgun. Then he throws a knife at a shank, then a trip mine grenade killing a total of 3. Charley jumps on the other and rips it to shreds. And only the captain was left, he curses in his native tongue "Oh yeah? Well -blam!- you too!" Ethan replies. Charley replies with a simple but viscous bark. She charges at the captain and sinks her teeth into its arm. The captain curses again and swats Charley away. She produces a heart shattering yelp, and that set Ethan off. Charley's been hurt many times but Ethan strangely never gets used to it, he loves her and she loves him, he raised her since he was a child and since she was a pup,cared for her,nurtured her,loved her. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!" He yells as charging at the fallen captain. He unsheathed his sword Sol Edge and stab the alien in the gut and held his hand cannon to its chin. "Yours,not mine you dirty scumbag. BANG! Blue blood splatters every where and reduces the captains head to nothing. He goes to Charley and gingerly picks her up. A rib is broken, he could tell and he hurried to The Tower. [b]Earth,The Last City,The Tower[/b] He teleports into The Tower and sprints to the infirmary. Guardians are giving him worried or perplexed looks, but he didn't care he needed help fast. It was pretty quick. She was fully healed and bouncier than before thanks to the warlock who nursed her back to health. He pays her extra glimmer as a sign of gratitude. He sits down near the tree with Charley calmly sleeping at his side as he reads the book "10000 Leagues Under the Sea" ((Open to anyone))
