Training and First Hunt Prep

“Can I take this silly blindfold?” Nora asked as she was holding onto Grimm’s shoulder as they went inside the Headquarters of the newest Hunters. “I’m starting to feel like you don’t trust me.”
“Standard procedure for new recruits,” Grimm responded. “You needed to memorize how we got here from where we were.”
Nora chuckled. “Really? From the turns we’ve been taking, I’d say we’re at the Abandoned District.”
Grimm blinked at how perceptive Nora was for being a rookie in the Hunting business. But there is such a thing as being too perceptive. She’ll learn the true meaning of terror one of these days while fighting off the horror of the monsters known as Creepy’s. He took a glance towards TODD and saw the Supporter give a nod. He lowered his hood and took off his shades. He first removed her blindfold, then quickly moved back into the darkness.
“If you think you’re such hot stuff,” he stated, making sure to use the empty space around him to not allow his voice to be easily pinpointed. “Then try to find me in the darkness around you.”
Nora pulled her Hunter license from between her breasts and slipped it into her pocket. She looked around the darkened room. She looked up to TODD. “Is he serious?”
“Yep,” he answered. “What we’re going against are mass murderers. What he’s doing is something that was taught to him millennia ago. An old friend of his that went after similar targets that we will.” He turned away to begin to type away to continue deciphering the data on their targets. “She never came back.”
Nora blinked. “She? What was her name?”
“She’s been dead for too long for anyone, myself included, to remember,” he answered. He sighed. “Except Grimm. I think he still remembers because she was like a mother to him. But be careful, even if you find him once, you’ll have to get to him three times in a row before he feels you’re ready for even your first target.”
Nora raised a brow. “Get him in what?”
“This,” Grimm whispered in her ear. He stepped back as she wheeled around and screamed. He was giving his “serious” face; a bone chilling grin that stretched from ear to ear, and without his shades on, Nora had full view of his unnaturally glowing red eyes in the dark. “Boo.”
Nora fell back and landed on her ass. She gasped a couple times to catch her breath. “What the fuck are you smoking?!”
Grimm stepped out from the darkness with a brow raised. “Well well, seems the little Winter Princess isn’t as pure as her powers would lead one to believe.”
“Fuck you, asshole!” Nora shouted, standing up. “How is giving me heart attacks a viable training method?!”
Grimm folded his arms over his chest. “Listen here you spoiled little, rich girl bitch; this training method is to have you ready to watch your back at all times and to have you listen to the hairs on the back of your neck. These things we’ve been licensed to hunt down always go for the sneak attack assassination from the back first.” He narrowed his eyes. “Always. You need to have similar killer instincts if you expect to survive. This was only training, but out there, it will be the real deal. You don’t listen to your own instincts, you’ll be dead.”
Nora reached for one of her swords. She smiled as she whirled around, drew her sword, and held the edge to Grimm’s neck as his hologram fizzled away. Grimm’s eyes showed off his surprise. “How the hell did you-?!”
“I could smell you from a mile away,” she responded as she sheathed her sword. “You really need a bath.”
“I happen to like my natural musk,” Grimm answered, folding his arms over his chest again.
TODD cleared his throat. “If the two of you are done making out, I’ve deciphered the first target.” Both turned to the larger array of screens as they showed a large 3D picture of a familiar blue hedgehog.
“Sonic?” Nora pondered. “Why would he-?”
Grimm narrowed his eyes. “Look closer.”
Nora looked to him and looked back to the picture and gasped. The normally cute looking blue hedgehog was covered in blood, his eyes crying blood as they were only black holes with glowing red lights for eyes. His smiled was from ear to ear and filled with sharp, shark like teeth that was dripping with saliva and blood. “Oh my God…”
“That is our target,” Grimm stated. “Sonic dot EXE. He’s grown too power hungry and has become aware that he is a mere copy of the original. He’s gathering massive amounts of Chaos energy to free himself from his isolated Universe and wreak havoc on everything. This’ll certainly be more exciting than that week I spent at Freddy’s.”
“Freddy’s? What are you talking about?” Nora asked.
Grimm chuckled. “I’ll show you my new trophy collection when we finish this mission.” He looked up to TODD and gave a nod as he lifted his hood up. “Let’s go.”
A bright light enveloped both of them as they began dissolving. Nora was caught off guard as her posture has her looking down and Grimm was standing at the ready with his arms folded over his chest.
