- Arthur Pendragon -
"...Mom? Mom, it's me." Clarke speaks into the radio.
"Clarke?" We hear Abby Griffin say through the radio with a trembling voice.
"Grrr..."
Looking down towards Shadow I observe as he has his teeth barred in anger and his ears are twitching in agitation. I crouched down and started to pet him. "What's wrong buddy?"
"Grrr..."
I turn to the direction to where Shadow is looking and use [Tracker]. Upon activation the smell of iron hits my nose, the smell coming from a mile away.
'Shit! Grounders!'
Allowing the sense of iron to fill my nostrils I try my best to figure out how many of them there are.
'1,2,3... 4,5... 6! Shit!'
"Yes. The Earth is survivable." Clarke says over to the radio to chancellor Jaha.
Turning towards Raven I ask, "Raven are you able to walk with your head injury?"
"What? Yeah, I should be fine. Why?"
"Bellamy, Octavia get ready for combat. Finn help Raven just in case she has trouble walking, and Clarke we need to cut the radio and bring it back to camp. We won't be able to bring the whole cargo pod with us." I order them with urgency.
Bellamy, wondering what the hell is going on, walks up to me and asks, "Arthur. What is going on?"
"Grounders. 6 of them."
"6 of them?!" he exclaims.
"Yeah, and they'll be here in a few short minutes so get ready to book it."
"Got it. I'll go inform the guys on perimeter still."
"Good. Thank you."
"Clarke, is my son with you?" After Jaha's question every one of us except Raven went silent.
Walking up to Clarke I extend my hand out and ask, "Clarke, may I have the radio?"
"Y-Yeah." she responds.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Who is this? And where is Clarke?" Jaha asks.
"Hello there. My name is Arthur Pendragon the leader of the 100."
"Leader?" I hear another male voice ask.
'That sounds like Kane.'
"Currently our position is about to be attacked by a group of grounders, so we are going to have to cut the radio and remove it. We will try to get back in contact as soon as we can." I tell them. I reach out and extend my hand towards Finn. "Here give me your knife I am going to cut the wiring."
"What?! You can't do that!" Raven cried out.
"We don't have time Raven; the grounders are coming!" Finn tells her.
"Wait, are you saying there are survivors on the ground?" Jaha asked doubtfully.
"Yes. We're not alone down here. Now I need to cut the wires, this will be a farewell for now, but we'll be able to communicate soon." I turned off the radio, turned to Raven, and asked. "Where do I cut this, so that I don't break it."
"See where all the wires converge at the head unit."
"Yeah."
"Okay, you're going to cut that, but make it clean. Got it."
"Yeah, I got it."
After safely extracting the radio and handing it off to Raven. Bellamy, Octavia and the 4 hunters make their way back over to us.
However, before we can safely move back to camp a spear moving at 100 mph flies through the tree line and into the back of one of the hunters; Ryan. Due to the speed and impact of the spear Ryan is thrown a few feet away and is sent face first into the grass.
"Shit!" I yell. I reach out my hand and begin to activate my light magic.
[Light Magic... Activation... -300 MP... Light Formation created: Spear]
[Item: Light Spear]
Item Rarity: C
Type: Spear
Attack: +25
- Duration: 3:00 (Due to being a Light Construct the item has a duration of how long it can remain in existence before fizzling out.)
"What the fuck!" I hear Raven holler from behind me.
Firmly grasping the light spear, I use [Tracker] to detect where the spear's point of origin was, and what do you know a grounder sitting in a tree attempting to pull out a short sword.
'I don't think so...'
I launch the spear straight into the grounder at 45 mph. The grounder flies out of the tree and impacts the forest floor.

I quickly sidestep one of the Grounders before thrusting the light spear into his stomach; twisting and pulling out the side in a slashing motion. The Grounder grabs his stomach in pain, before kneeling over and dying.
'2 down. 4 to go.'
I dodge an overhead swing and perform a sweep kick. Knocking the grounder onto his ass. Before he can get back up, I am already over him with my spear piercing his throat; killing him.
'3 down. 3 to go.'
Sensing the incoming spear thrust I dodged to the right, causing it to miss by a hair's breadth away. I swiftly bring down my elbow snapping the wooden shaft in half. I grab the tip of the spear before it can fall to the ground and throw it at the grounder; piercing him in the throat; killing him
"Ahh!" I cry out as an arrow pierces my left shoulder.
[-250 HP]
I grab the arrow and shove it through causing it to go through the rest of shoulder and fall onto the ground helplessly. I then find the grounder responsible; a piece of shit hiding in the trees. I took aim and threw my spear at him, piercing him in the groin and causing him to fall to the forest floor dead.
*Level Up!*
"Haaaa... Haaa... Haa... Ha." I struggle to find my breath as I swivel around in all directions looking for my last opponent.
"Ahh!!"
'A slash across the back!? How did he get behind me?!' I shout mentally as a short sword comes down in a vertical slash across my back.
[-600 HP]
Falling on the ground, I roll away as a sword comes slashing down into the grass; cutting away the grass I had just landed on. [Observe]
[Grounder Scout Team Leader]

'Time for a new construct!' I think mentally.

[You are low on MP!]
MP: 200/1,200
'Jeez I'm fine! Now let's take a look at this sword real quic-- AHH!'
[Item: Light Sword]
Item Rarity: C+
Type: Sword
Attack: +50
- Duration: 4:00 (Due to being a Light Construct the item has a duration of how long it can remain in existence before fizzling out.)
"Wiz bleirona!" The scout leader shouts.
"Wiz bleirona?" I question before kicking his knee, forcing him to kneel. I then send another kick towards his face, sending him falling to the ground.
I swiftly get back up on my feet, turn towards him and get into a ready stance.
The scout leader slowly climbs back up onto his feet. Spinning around thinking that I might have run off, he shows a surprised expression at the sight of me, but one that is quickly covered by a bloodthirsty grin.
*Clang*
*Clang*
*Clang*
*Clang*
'We're both evenly matched it seems.'
Both of us have attacked, blocked, and parried. All we have to show for it is our heavy breathing, and sweaty bodies. However, that's when I notice a small black creature moving in the tall grass; straight towards the grounder!
'Perfect!'
I quickly start bearing down on the grounder; slash after slash, stab after stab until finally...
"AHH!" He screams.
The grounder looks down at his now torn apart calf and sees a small black wolf. Before he can react to the wolf however, I am already pressing the advantage Shadow gave me. With a now weakened leg the grounder is struggling to keep up, and eventually I am able to knock his sword out of his hands with a powerful upwards diagonal slash.
*Clang*
The grounder falls onto the ground in defeat. He looks up at me and closes his eyes welcoming death. Moving to finish him with my light sword, I remember something that you would say in the show if someone died in battle or for something heroic.
"Yu gonplei ste odon."
*Schick*
*Level Up!*
The grounder's head drops with a thud. Causing me to smile in grim satisfaction, but that's when the pain starts to kick in. My back and shoulder feel like they're on fire, and the small cuts that I received from fighting in the tall grass sting and itch.
"Woof!"
Hearing and seeing Shadow by my side forces my grim smile to turn into a happy one, but it soon fades as the pain begins to grow and I begin to fall into unconsciousness. I drop to the ground and my eyes begin to force themselves shut, but I see them. 4 blurs running towards me as fast as they can.
'Huh? I wonder who it is?' Is my last thought before fading into unconsciousness.
