Chapter 3 - 3 - Grimm

Shallot: "SUN, IT'S A HOLLOW, RUN!!!"

Sun: "What?"

Sun turned around to see the white mask behind him and knew that this was a Grimm that his parents told him about. He knew that they were drawn to negative energy but they shouldn't be so close to the city since the guards do regular sweeps around to make sure there haven't been any Grimms that had been born recently. Sun immediately ran with all his might towards the city to get the guards.

Sun: "Hurry and follow me we're only 2 minutes away from the city."

Sun yelled behind him looking in front of himself towards what could be seen as a huge wall in front with some people moving in and out of the city in the distance. Sun ran with all his might and started screaming at the top of his lungs while feeling scared. The Grimm wasn't slow and had only taken a couple of seconds to catch up to them.

The Grimm was getting ready to attack and Shallot knew that with their small bodies it wouldn't do much to keep running with someone stopping it. Shallot slowed down and turned around facing the Grimm.

Shallot: "Sun ... hurry and run to the city I'll stop it."

Shallot yelled out while preparing to see how strong his body was now that he was a saying. He had experience fighting, but that was only towards other people. He never fought any type of beast before and never thought he would need that type of experience.

Shallot got into his fighting stance to make himself sturdy and wait for it to attack. He didn't know how to deal with this but he could feel that was getting excited from having to fight something that was possibly strong. He was thinking this was due to his Saiyan bloodline, but he was still thinking clearly instead of charging blindly in. He needed to strategize. Before he could come up with a plan the Grimm had attacked.

The Grimm had pounced towards him swiped it right clawed hand at him. Shallot crossed his arms in front of him to try to protect his vitals. When the claw came into contact with him he felt that the hit wasn't particularly that heavy. The hit was strong but it didn't feel that he would die front only a couple of swings.

Shallot distanced himself so that he could make out the "Hollow" attacking him. When he got some space between himself and got a good look he realized that this wasn't a "Hollow" at all. He remembered seeing this creature somewhere but he couldn't remember where exactly. He couldn't search through his memories right now in this situation.

Shallot watched the "Hollow" trying to find out anything he can about it. He could tell it had a similar appearance to a werewolf except most of the body was completely black with white bone-like structure covering its claws, elbows, some small spikes on the front part of its legs above its knees, and a row of bone-like spikes coming out of it's back going down its spine. The last bone-like structure was the white mask which made him believe it was a "Hollow" but now it just seemed like an imitation instead. The mask covered its entire face while having two protruding fangs at the front. The "Hollow" had four eyes with an orange outline around the eye holes and in between the eyes above the top two was something that appeared to be a yin-yang symbol with the white half missing.

The Grimm rushed towards him again but this time he was prepared. The Grimm attacked and swiped with it's left claw this time and before it could connect Shallot ducked underneath and aimed for its ċhėst where there was no bone plating. Shallot threw a corkscrew punch putting his entire weight behind it hoping it does enough damage.

The Grimm slid back after taking the attack and just charged again at him. Shallot weived in and out of the attacks relying on his footwork from his martial arts and attack when he could to try to wear it down. He kept this up for two minutes hoping Sun had made it back to get help. Shallot could feel his body screaming even though he hasn't done that much honestly. This was really his first day moving this body since it wasn't his original body which isn't used to the movements he is making. He would end up stumbling sometimes because he wasn't used to having shorter legs completely. Moving and walking was fine, even running was only slightly more strenuous but going straight into combat without testing the limits of his body wasn't good.

Shallot had made sure to wrap his tail around his waist so that he didn't have to worry about it getting grabbed or worse torn off. He maneuvered around the Grimm striking with his strength but feels that he should be able to attack even better. He knows that Saiyans are naturally stronger then most and even low-class Saiyans have the capability to grow stronger immensely as long as they get into a lot of fights and survive to receive a zenkai boost.

Shallot continued fighting with the Grimm for another 3 minutes and started hearing footsteps approach him but he couldn't lose focus. Within these 3 minutes, he was only getting more exhausted and had received a wound on his ċhėst from the slash during one of their clashes but also managed to infuse ki into his fist heavily injuring the Grimm.

They both were only fighting to take down the other with everything they had. The Grimm would constantly growl and howl while attacking him becoming more aggressive which only caused more openings to happen to lead to easier chances to attack it. Shallot threw one last punch with his remaining energy at its head trying to smash its head in.

Shallot's attack connected sent the Grimm flying back into a tree while he collapsed backward. The Grimm, however, wasn't finished by the attack and managed to stagger back to its feet. It saw its target finally exhausted and shambled towards Shallot but before it could get 10 feet to him a war cry was heard from behind Shallot and a massive figure jumped over him throwing a spear piercing the ċhėst of the Grimm nailing it to a tree. The Grimm struggled for a bit until the light in its eyes dimmed before turned into black dust.

???: "I need someone to carry the kid back and get him treated. I have already taken care of the Grimm. Send some members to check the area to make sure that there are no more BeoWolves around since they usually travel in packs. This one could have been a scout that was just separated from its group."
