Multiple teams of Tomb Riders arrived at the designated area that was highlighted on their maps. There was a huge gorge present in the desert. Below was dark and eerie, moreover, deep. Probably over 250 metres.

All of the Tomb Riders that were waiting at opposite sides of the gorge were all scared to enter. It wasn’t so much the fact that the gorge resembled a hellish abyss but all of the Tomb Riders could hear very-loud hoarse-breathing coming from the depths of the gorge. They all feared that it could have belonged to a Rank-A Filed Monster.

“If it’s a Rank-A Ghoul Monster then there is no way I’m going down there.” One of the Tomb Riders were already panicking over entering the gorge.

“Me neither. I don’t think that two artefacts are worth all this risk.”

“But what if it isn’t a Rank-a Monster? Then we would just as well be handing over the artefact to whoever is brave enough to go down there.”

“What should we do? Should we go in?”

After hearing the myriad of Tomb Riders rambling on about entering the eerie gorge, Rooster motioned his motor forward. “You Tomb Riders are a bunch of pussies! Just wait right there and let me claim them artefacts!” All of a sudden, Rooster ducked his motor into the eerie gorge. He was free-falling for some time before he hit the bottom. The golden aura he emitted started illuminating the gorge.

“Is that guy crazy? He went down there all by himself. Where is the rest of his team?”

“Ignore that muscle freak. There’s no way he’s getting out of there alive.”

“But what if by some slim chance he comes out with the artefacts?”

“Then we will just take them from him.” This Tomb Rider began smiling cynically. “There are a whole bunch of us out here. Do you really think that he can get past all of us?”

“You’re right. There is no way for him to get past us with the artefacts. Although we would have to defend against the other teams if we manage to steal them.”

“We will cross that bridge if we ever get to it.”

“What the heck?” All of a sudden, The Tomb Riders who were waiting outside the eerie gorge felt a threatening vibration which almost shook most of them into the dark orifice.

“Get back!” As the Tomb Riders’ were retreating, they felt the vibrations getting stronger and louder.

“What the hell is going on down there? Did that muscle freak actually came across a Rank-A Field Monster?”

“No way!!”

While the myriad of Tomb Riders were panicking, they noticed a golden object blasting out of the gorge. “What was that golden light?”

Moments later, the Tomb Riders gasped in fright when their open eyes started painting the image of an extremely large dog that was over 80 metres long and 50 metres tall. It was covered in fatal injuries all over. It looked like Rooster used the remaining essence of his Golden Soul Insignia to deal a massive amount of damage to the oversize hound before getting blasted out of the gorge.

“The hell is that bloody thing?!”

“So it was a Rank-A Filed Monster after all! Look at the size of its green halo!”

“Where are the artefacts? Could they still be inside the gorge? I am going inside to look.” An impatient Rollerblader started rushing his way into the gorge.

“Wait a minute Jason! Come back! I think I’ve found out the whereabouts of the artefacts!”

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

“Where?”

“Up there! Take a good look at its ears! An artefact is poking out of each one and there isn’t just two but four!”

“Four?? How could this be?!” All of the Tomb Riders were having a hard time believing that the Rank-A Field Monster possessed four artefacts in its ears. “But our maps only picked up two artefacts!”

“That must be because the artefacts were overlaying each other! Now that I’m zooming in closely on the monitor I can clearly recognize four unprecedented artefacts!”

“We’ve hit the jackpot! If we take down this beast then those four artefacts are ours!”

“In your wet dream psycho!” Another team of Tomb Riders rushed by the persons that were talking aloud and began their assault on the huge dog monster. “Those artefact belongs to us.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Would you look at those barbarians.” The Unruly Gang members were watching the intense battle taking place below them and felt disgusted.

“Look at those f**k-tards. Fighting among themselves when they should be taking care of that Rank-A Monster. Well, either way, they are making things much easier for me.” Unruly Ban chuckled as he sat by and waited for the dozens of Tomb Riders to get rid of the big dog so that he could acquire those four artefacts for himself.

Stony Hawk voiced his concerns. “Unruly Ban, aren’t we a bit too far away from the action?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, if either team takes down that dog, aren’t we too far away to rush in and steal the artefacts?”

“Let me worry about that Stony Hawk. Thinking isn’t your strong suit.” Unruly Ban waved away Stony Hawk’s concerns, by labelling him as an idiot.

…… Far away from where the eerie gorge was, Rooster crash-landed into a huge pile of sand.

“Ahh, that hurts.” Rooster took his time getting up from where he was buried in the sand. When the giant dog barked him out of the gorge earlier, he was sent flying several dozens of metres.

“Ahf. How far did that monster hit me?” Rooster looked around him and found out that he was miles away from where the hectic battle against the Rank-A Filed Monster was taking place. “I better get back before the other teams beat me to it. I was the one who caused all that damage to the monster after all.”

Rooster tossed out his Motors Cube. It quickly transformed into his Big Dang motor. He hopped into it and got ready to move to the battlefield. As he was about to leave, he heard someone calling out to him.

“Rooster! Is that you over there?!!!”

“Huh?” Rooster heard a familiar voice calling his name and glanced behind him. “You guys?”

“It’s us!” Cockroach along with Angelina got closer to Rooster. “Hey, man I thought that something was seriously wrong with you. When I look at the map just now I saw you moving at an exorbitant speed over here. How did you manage that?”

“Oh, you must be talking about when I got my ass licked by that savage dog.”

“What dog?” Angelina heard loud battling sounds permeating throughout the desert.

“That dog.” Rooster pointed into the distance where the dreadful battle cries were coming from. “Currently, there is Rank-A Dog Monster over there wreaking havoc. It has four artefacts sticking out of its ears.”

“Four artefacts?” Cockroach and Angelina seemed surprised when they heard this. “If there’s so many. I bet that area is swarming with Tomb Riders and is attracting more as we speak.”

“You’re correct.” Said Rooster. “However they won’t be able to take it down quickly. The only reason why they are still capable of fighting against it was because of the severe wounds that I managed to inflict before my Golden Soul Insignia expired.”

“What? So you no longer have the powers of your Golden Soul Insignia?”

“Sadly no. but don’t worry Cockroach. I still have other Soul Insignias at my disposal. They may not be as powerful as the Golden Soul Insignia but I can manage with them somehow.”

“Alright then, let’s head on over to the battlefield!” Cockroach was getting excited. He started staring his motor in the direction where the Rank-A Filed Monster was and realized something. “Eh, where’s Hard Steel?”

“Check your map. The last time I saw him. He was going to the Sanctuary of Pinnacles.”

Cockroach commenced checking his map for signs of Hard Steel. “I don’t see him anywhere. Was he eliminated already?”

“That would be unfortunate.” Angelina searched her eyes in the distance until she could barely see a large rampaging silhouette. “How tall did you say that dog was Rooster?”

“It’s very big. If I were to guess, I’ll say that it is around 60 metres tall.”

“60-metres? Are you sure?”

“Yeah. It is probably even bigger.”

“That’s a true giant then isn’t it?” Cockroach began sweating unceasingly after hearing how big the Rank-A Field Monster was. He was no longer showing signs of overflowing excitement. “Now I am scared to even get within a mile range of that thing.”

“We are Tomb Riders. Danger is within our forte. If you are too scared to come with us then Rooster and I will go alone.” Angelina restarted her motor.

“Hey, A.J don’t be like that. Of course, I am coming along. We are the Shackle of Death squad after all. Let’s go show that monster how we kick ass!”

Rooster, Cockroach and Angelina rode off in the direction where the dreadful dog fight was happening.
