Chapter 38 - Unleashing His Pet Wolf

Raynor finally had a chance to look at the 'Hanging Edge', a location which was abandoned for nearly a thousand years since last war where forces from Pulse cracked the Cacoon shell and invaded, it was done close to this location, ever since then it was forbidden zone...

While it was abandoned this place still retains its massive long bridges, and they are everywhere...

But what's the most terrifying thing is just how high this place is, if it was Raynor from the old days before he ascended, he would be terrified, the way going down is long...very long...

'It's like falling from New York all the way to California...' Raynor for second looked down at...

and he was very high... he can see clouds and continent and lakes bellow...

Taking a step back he focused on action which is happening in Hanging Edge, their train was not first arriving here, before that there were at least two more trains of people arriving from Bodrum, they obviously revolted once they realised that no one is sending them down to Gran Pulse...

And PSICOM failed miserably putting them down, Civilians even somehow got their hands on PSICOM weaponry...

The only reason PSICOM has not been crushed yet is thanks to robots and fancy technology they brought from the capital...

So now the whole place is a massive battlefield, something PSICOM will win in the end...if he would not to intervene...

Raynor decided that he is going to make PSICOM sweat a little bit...That moment he created another two shadow clones, both of them quickly vanished before Sazh or Lightning can actually see them.

A few seconds later the pistol dude of the team decided it's better to talk with Raynor as he is more social than the pink head in front of them.

"So kid what's your name?" Sazh asked Raynor, as they were walking side by side now.

"Raynor Valeron, and you old man?" Raynor asked back in turn as they started walking a little bit faster to catch up with a pink head.

At least their path is quite clear as it's...just forward, they are on one of the bridges after all.

"It's Sazh Katzroy..." He then looked at Raynor attire, he was dressed like he is on holiday, but then again they were taken from a resort city...

"Well, Raynor thanks for the save back in the train..." Sazh offered his hand for a handshake, Raynor accepted it, and then both of the continued walking for few more minutes as later on they saw more PSICOM grunts...

Raynor quickly pulled out his Desert Eagle released few salvos of Crimson Plasma which incinerated their Assault Rifles.

Sazh whistled seeing just from what distance Raynor just snipped them with a pistol without optics...

Lightning only looked at Raynor for a second, but she then continued walking, while the PSICOM grunts started running away after witnessing lost of their main weapons...

They continued walking after that for another few minutes as they arrived at the end of the bridge...the portion of the bridge was missing... because of old age portion of the bridge has collapsed...

'Wonder where those PSICOM grunts run to? did they actually jump? or they have some fancy tech to cross this gap?' Raynor though for second.

'Heh... these PSICOM soldiers really have all that fancy tech from the Capital...' Raynor though with a smirk that these grunts just used fancy gravity tech to jump the gap a few minutes ago.

Then Raynor looked at Lightning who is about to use her own...

'I wonder where she got hers? is it because she is a Sergeant?' Raynor looked at with interest how this tech is used, Lightning snapped her fingers and she was surrounded by a blue electrical aura.

Raynor used his divinity to understand how this technology negates gravity.

To his fascination, it emulates energy which he believe is called mana, once it does that, it then starts casting an anti-gravity spell...

'All that is put in a small device...impressive...but why then they didn't use this stuff on ȧssault rifles?' He can only shrug at the logic of this world.

Same time he remembered, this is the place where that amusing scene is...

As lightning start to 'fly' over the missing bridge section, Sazh realised that he is about to be abandoned by Lightning, he jumps on her and tells her to take him with her, but Lightning reaction is something he probably didn't expect as she hits him with her knee into his gut and then hammer arms him down, but by that point her fancy tech overloaded, and turned off...

"Really old man, you actually thought that stuff can carry two people?" Raynor walked over to groaning middle-aged man, who was laying on the ground, Lightning is brutal and he is the first teammate to experience that.

She then turned around and looked at relaxed Raynor, who helped Sazh to stand up on his feet.

He then walked over to Lightning.

"Need help?" He said that with a smirk, Lightning only narrowed her eyes at him.

"You have mean to cross this gap?" She asked with professional soldier voice.

"I do...now hold tight..." Her eyes widened for second as he moved extremely fast and picked her up in princess carry, before she can ask or start beating the sh1t out of him, Raynor was already jumped and high in the air.

Lightning looked around her eyes widened.

'He can jump such distance without any help from technology? is he a l'Cie? but that's impossible only Serah was one who was branded by Pulse fal'Cie!' but her thought ended here as she felt warmness wash her up, she felt like she is in the safest place in the whole world...

'What is this feeling...' Lightning subconsciously snuggled closer, enjoying it as much as possible.

Once Raynor gently landed on another side of the bridge he released Lightning on the ground who quickly took few steps back she was about to ask something but Raynor already jumped back to pick up Sazh...

Lightning tsk'ed at missed opportunity...

Moments later Lightning heard Sazh panicking scream as the pink head saw them float over.

"H-H-How can you fly kid!?" Sazh said to Raynor as he was floating in the air next to him, to Lightning it looked as if the world itself is making Sazh and Raynor fly...

Once Raynor landed so did Sazh who landed on all fours and nearly kissed ground from happiness, as he was back on safe solid ground, or at least as much as he thinks bridge being actually safe...

"Who are you really?" Lightning asked him as her curiosity grew too big to actually to be contained.

Raynor smirked and leaned a little bit forward, Lightning somewhat narrowed her eyes, she had a feeling he wanted her to ask him.

"Well for starters I am not from Cacoon or Gran Pulse... I have the means to travel between realities..." While Sazh mouth opened wide from shock Lightning was somewhat more contained she was still in shock...

"When what you been doing in Bodrum?" She asked him with crossed arms, his explanation only opened doors for more questions.

While Raynor motioned for them to start walking.

"My clothing should be obvious in this no? I was having a relaxing holiday...and they all of sudden PSICOM and all that Pulse fal'Cie nonsense started..." Raynor explained to them.

Lightning didn't said anything same with Sazh they still trying to comprehend what he just said.

"If you have such powers then why you didn't just leave?" Lightning said after few second of silence.

"Well isn't it obvious? First I am going to get your sister from what living building thingy, then I am going to make your Cacoon government to understand not to mess with someone they have no ways to fight or beat..." Raynor said casually, to which Sazh laughed and even Lightning had a smirk for a second, neither of them believed what he said.

One man against the whole Nation? it didn't really matter to them if he had some sort of superpowers, as the odds were not really on his side.

As they continued walking forwards, an explosion happened to their side which got their small group attention.

Raynor and his two companions looked at what just happened...

PSICOM brought in airships, which started blowing up bridges were civilians were, it seems Raynor two clones were giving to much trouble for these 'Elite soldiers'

"Guess... they got tired of losing..." Raynor commented seeing this, he lifted his right hand on the back of his hand there is a tattoo of howling wolf...

"Well, I suppose its time for me to see how good you have become..." the tattoo started glowing and it released particles of energy which soon enough, it turned it massive wolf which bȧrėly fits on the bridge they were standing.

Both Lightning and Sazh quickly took a step back.

Did a wolf just popped from his tattoo!?

"You called me master?" Their shock didn't end here... as this massive canine just talked!

"Yes, Fenrir...I want you to take care of those people dressed with dominant black colour on their body armour, as well as those Floating airships... I will bless you with the power to run on-air for this one..." after saying that Raynor touched his pet wolf and operated his power over laws, allowing the Primordial wolf to walk on air now...

"Now go!" Raynor motioned the massive beast to lunge and it started running through the air towards the airships with a bloodthirsty look on his face.

***HOWL***

The massive wolf pawn lunged at the airship, starting to shred into bits...

That moment the whole battlefield just stopped as the arrival of the massive wolf was something no one expected

'If they are terrified of my wolf now... I would love to see their face expression once Fenrir shows it's real size...' Raynor turned back at his two companions who were gobsmacked what they saw.

"I told you guys I will make Cacoon government understand not to blindly lockdown city where I am on my holidays..." Raynor said that with a smirk, as both of his companions still looked at the massive wolf rampaging through the airships like they were made from paper...

"So... is it normal from massive beasts to pop from tattoo from where you come from?" Sazh asked with a somewhat funny and disbelieving voice...

"Not my original dimension, my place is extremely normal, on the other hand...the place I got the wolf from... that sight is quite a common one..." Raynor said that with shrug as continued casually walking.

While Lightning is somewhat shocked, the same time she is relieved that with Raynor help saving her sister will be much easier.

After walking a few more minutes and trying to ignore satisfied wolf howling, Sazh had to ask what is their destination actually is.

"The Pulse fal'Cie will be brought here in a few minutes..." Raynor said as he checked the time on his phone.

"W-What for you need that thing? Should it be better if you unleash your wolf on that thing?" the ex-pilot said with some sweat on his forehead, that thing caused all this it's better just to wipe it off...

"True, but Lightning sister is inside of it, so we will first get her out and then my Fenrir can use the fal'Cie like chewing toy all I care..." Raynor said with shrug.

"Right..." It was somewhat hard for Sazh to get over the point that there is massive wolf running on air...

But then he put a few things together...

"Wait... then your sister is Pulse l'Cie they show on Holo-TV?!?" Lightning only narrowed her eyes at him, she doesn't want to hear him badmouthing her sister.

"What's her focus then? is it to destroy Cacoon?" Sazh hand for second went to his pistol.

Raynor sighed for second.

'Right...the focus nonsense... it's something given to l'Cie once they are branded by the fal'Cie, it's the price for the magic they wield, each focus is different... it can be Cacoon destruction or even something little like going to Macdonalds and ordering a cheeseburger, it's their mission given by fal'Cie if they succeed they turn into crystal-like statues... and if they fail this mission or ignore it... they turn into crystal-like zombie monsters...there is a reason why people don't really want to become l'Cie its considered slavery to fal'Cie, and... if they succeed they turn into crystals and can stay like that for up to thousand years until they are called by fal'Cie again to do another mission...'

"It's not that easy Sazh... l'Cie only gets a glimpse of their mission..." Raynor said, as his gaze went to massive gates in the wall which started opening...

"And here is our objective..." Raynor said with a smirk as Pulse fal'Cie was brought through gates by several airships....
