BlackDesert, seventh outer ring.

Hastily racing back was the suddenly formed group, made up of three of the ten villages of the seventh outer ring,

"Eyy!, is it common for a Red Tail to come this close to the clan's border?" Gabba asked, in fear that this situation may happen again,

"Only after their breeding season is over, that's when the females go out looking for suitable nesting areas." Answered one if the neighboring village Captain's,

"Suitable?"

"Yes mannnn!! And that means near Food!!!, US!!!", shouted out a highly energetic squad leader from another neighboring village,

Though these two individuals were from the same clan, their personalities couldn't be more different. It was also apparent that hunters from each village of the seventh wore masks? With each bearing its only unique markings, yet they all had a similar pattern tattoo on their chest that slightly varied from one other.

"Ey, why you staring at me?", asked the captain.

He had a fearsome presences and wasn't as easy going as Goo or Esta,

"Your...your tattoos, I realize most of the men have similar almost near identical ones such as yours, is it a snake?",

"What?, you're comparing me too such weaklings", he asked with his mannerisms slightly changing.

"Gaaaahahaha!!!, Ey!! These tattoos are our ranks and you just compared one of the seventh elites to an average squad member", the energetic on explained, while laugh uncontrollably,

"Fool, look so you don't insult me again, the Higher your rank the longer the snake is", the captain explained.

"Captain!! We're near, I can see Esta", infromed the group scout,

*Glances* "I'll properly inform you after we handle this situation", said the Captain in a slightly annoyed manner.

Off in the distance

*Heavy breathing* "I've out done myself, this Grey Pincers is becoming a serious problem, even using my dimondsand to defend most of its attacks, while still trying too slow the Red Tail's movement, I'm still expending a tone of flow."

Shhhwwwoooosh!! Wiiisshhh!! Swinging both pincers at Esta placing intense pressure on him,

WHAM!!,

"agggrrrrhhh!!....there're team attacks are well thought out, didn't even notice when the Grey Pincers dug under", WHAMMM!!..."Grrrrhhhhhh!!! ARRRRRHHH!!" BLAM!!! roared Esta as he countered the Red Tail's tail whip, catching it to then launch it into the Grey Pincers.

"Heh..heh.hehhh..." *Crack* "shit. Imma actually die, ......should've bet on myself", Esta thought just so that Goo would lose pool.

Walking up to the tired Esta came the Red Tail, Weaving its Stinger as it prepared to strike,

*Rumble* "hell?",

Looking to his rear, Esta allowed a smile to escape as he saw the reinforcements riding a sand tsunami towards him,

"Seems that i won't be collecting any money since Esta stills alive", mention the captain,

"Yesssss!! He's still kicking, my money is safe", shouted the squad leader,

Both glances at each other, "are these guys betting on weather Esta was alive or dead?" Gabba thought as his eyes widen in shock,

'Breach, assist Esta with the Red Tail, I'll handle the Grey Pincers myself",

"Ain't you confident, I guess you'll also be handling the second Grey Pincers thats hiding as well, huh Roama?"

"Did I stutter", Roama asked as his black ash markings covered his body, though unlike Esta and Goo, his had a trench coat like appearance,

Leaping into action went Breach, his ash like coating also had its own unique appearance, with his sporting blade like spikes on his forearms, knees and head. Swiiissssh!!! In a rapid section Breach has unleashed a savage assault upon the Red Tail, giving his squad enough time to assist Esta.

"Brace yourself", Roama told Gabba as he raised his sand tsunami up and over both the scorpions, Esta and Breach,

"Is he trying to kill us with that shit?" Esta and the assisting squad thought,

"Eyyy!!, hell you planning to do with that?", Shouted Breach,

"Is he planning to actually kill them with this?" Gabba worriedly thought,

"I'm winning this bet", Roama thought, DESERT DESCENT!!!!! roared Roama as he plummets downwards upon the sand tsunami, crashing down upon the rest,

"YOU BLACK MADA....." BOOOOSSSHHH!!!!!

*intense roar*

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

"Dammmmmnnn!!! Itttt!!!" Yelled Roama,

Sitting and frozen with grief was Gabba, he had just witness a mascara, "this man is crazy." He thought,

BOSH!!!, Exploding from beneath came out the Red Tail and both Grey Pincers, "they survived.... if I had just hard the entire thing without leaving out space for the others to escape through, then I would have crushed these pest."

Bursting up again from below came out Breach, Esta and the squad members, All who were blazing furious with Roama.

"YOOOOUUUUUU!!!! LILL SHITT!!!" shouted out Breach as he launched himself at Roama,

"Stop it, we got other things to deal with", Esta said halting Breach murder attempt.

"Ey you guys lived, so be happy", he told them.

* murderous glance*

"Calm down Esta", Roama peeled,

"The Red Tail is experience, she can use blood arts", Esta infromed.

"That explains it then, Esta can you still go?",

'I got plenty of go", he said, standing back up as if he had taken no damage,

"Goooood.... I'll take out the Grey Pincers, the rest of you deal with the Red tail, Gabba.. back me up."

Just like that the groups were made, blitzing forward they went, with Esta taking lead against the Red Tail with Breach supporting, as for Roama and Gabba, Gabba had the role of support.

Not giving the scorpions the first strike, Roama stormed the two with a sudden burst of sand projectiles, forcing them too guard.

"These two aren't as verse in the blood art defensive from", Roama stated, launching forward he use the sand projectiles as cover, extending for his trench coat were snake heads.

"Roama!!!", Gabba shouted as he hurried behind him worried that he may be in over his head,

"Dont worry bout me, just attack their underbelly when you see an opportunity", Roama said, centering him between the two Grey Pincers.

He then cease his sand shower, but upon ceasing his heavy assault both Grey Pincers blitz towards him,

WABAM!!!, in an instant they shot forth their venomous stingers, "agggrrrrhhh.... close." Said Roama, standing unphase by the sudden assault which had being halted by his snake heads, he had three snake heads that acted as his defense. Allowing him to attack with restraint, the two Grey Pincers struggled vigorously to escape his hold but their efforts were futile,

*Cries out in anger*

Exploding with rage the two Grey Pincers began to unleash a bombardment of slashes and smashes, creating a massive dust cloud,

"Roama!!, I can't see... are you alright??!!", Gabba worriedly yelled as he darted forward,

The other battle

"Seems Roama got his hands full", Esta stated while pushing against the Red Tail's pincers,

"Eyyyy! Focus, you're pose to keeping that things attention while I dispatch its stinger", Breach yelled as he darted to its side,

*Glances*

BASH!! Landing a crushing blow upon its head, "eyes on me girly", Esta stated following up swiftly with a rocketing uppercut, causing the Red Tail's outer shell to crack,

*Roars ferociously*

"Well seems I got you're affection now, .....Breach!!!! Imma need you too hurry", Esta yelled.

After receiving Esta combination, the Red Tail activate its blood arts, this time it fully committed to attacking using BloodShock,

WHAM!! BOOSSSHH!!!! "ARGGGHHH!!!", Inna burst of strength the Red Tail launched Esta across the sand, hurdling him into one of the desert trees, "grrrrhhh.... I think It broke my arm..it's movement speed has increased along with it's explosive power", Esta thought,

"Hunting tactics, Fifth from." order Breach as he rush over towards Esta,

Forming an instant circle around the Red Tail, the squad then began to launch waves of sand projectiles, while other members rushed it using the desert armor to withstand incoming attacks,

"Agghhh!!", 'markkk!!!...." "keep it distracted form the Sand Caster", "easier said than done", "ahhhhaha!!!", these where the cries that could be heard form afar as the squad struggled against the Red Tail.

*Skidss* "hell happen there?, it blasted your black ass like nothing", Breach asked, being honestly worried about Esta,

"It used an advance from of blood art, I've only heard these techniques that the blood scorpions can wield, buy never thought I'd get smack by it, this female has to be a Sentry level, if so we're going to have to hit alot hard. It attacks now can create an aftershock",

* Coughs up blood *

"Ey..ey.. I don't got the money to pay if you die and I lose this bet, so wait back here I'll deal with it untill Roama is done", Breach said with an energetic smile,

"Ehh..ehehhhehh!!, im not out yet fool", Esta stated while attempting to stand, *struggles to his feet* "I tank, you counter." Esta tells he as the two blots forward back into the fry,

Back with Roama

"You think throwing a tantrum and creating this dust cloud will save you?", Roam asked as his snake heads deflect all incoming attacks, but in doing so he had to release his hold, allowing the two Grey Pincers to borrow under the sand,

"ROAMA!!", * Grabs mouth*

"Shushssss!!, these bastards have hidden themselves under the sand, probably planning to use their signatures ambush techniques', Roama infromed,

"Bleblebelbel!!" Spitting out the sand that got rub in his mouth from Roams hand, "don't do that again. Also Ambush techniques?" Gabba asked,

"Forgot you're still new here, they can track us with vibrations from beneath the sand and they use their stingers too either goad you into attacking or distracte you from their Pincers assault, tricky bastards",

"I understand, so what we do now?" Asked Gabba,

"Well, you could start by being useful bait, if you see a stinger just charge it, I'll cover you", Roama said giving Gabba a thumbs up for luck,

*Movements from under*

The dust cloud started to settle, * stinger rises up* , its movements mimic that of a sand snake, weaving slowly side to side in a hypnotic manner.

"Clever bastards", placing his hand upon the sand Roama waited for his bait too act,

*Glup* taking a breath, Gabba bolted forward at the stinger, PHOOSS!! Exploding upwards came the Grey Pincers, launching forward its pincers attempts to tear apart Gabba, swoosh!! Leaping off the sand Gabba evaded the sudden attack twirling over the back of the scorpion,

"SAND SPIKES!!!", shouted Roama. Ratattaatatatatat!!! Rattling the Grey Pincers with holes as the sand spikes bore from underneath it,

PHOOOSSHHH!! bursting from behind Roama, the second Grey Pincers launched its ambush, Booosh!!!! * dust clouds rise*

"Oh no', Gabba thought as he race forward, with a swift thrust Gabba cleared the dust for his view, but what he had witnessed was truly shocking.

5 minutes earlier

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Roared both Esta and Breach as they enter back into the action, Swiiissssh!!!,

"Grrhhhhh... great lord!", Esta stated as he bearly ducked a sudden swing, WHAMM!!! Landing another shattering uppercut to the Red Tail's head slightly lifting it off the ground,

"Yeeeeeahhhhh!!!, my turn. DESERT SNAKE ARTS: SILVER SAND SLASHER!!!!" cried out Breach as he blitzing forward underneath the Red Tail, slashing alway in a ziz zaz motion, causing the Red Tail to buckle from its legs being severely injured,

"It wasn't fast enough to switch back to defending, too bad." Esta said as he walked toward the Red Tail, standing directly in front of the scorpion Esta took a familiar stance among the blackdesert clans, coiling his fist back, Esta's body began to bulge with his veins surging with tremendous power,

"You idiot! you're giving it time to switch back", Breach shouted,

"DesertSnake Art: SERPENT SHOT!!!" he roared as his fist shot forth like lightning piercing through the Red Tail's blood armor, hurdling the massive scorpion over towards Roama,

Present Time

Watching in total shocks Gabba, as Roama had peirce through not only the ambushing Grey Pincers but also he had peirce through the sudden appearing Red Tail both were held down by his now massive sand snakes with a black lances launch inside them formed from his black ash markings.

"They're not to be taken lightly." Gabba thought to himself,

The two groups regrouped and each taking a portion of the kill for their own individual village,

"Where do these things even come from?" Gabba asked Roama,

The group went silent, "the dark....and let's hope this female wasn't mate of a Scorcher", Roama replied.

The Dark

* Pincers ignite*
