Virtual Exploit | Chapter Six

Shredder, Ice, and Subsonic all rested at Shredder's apartment. Shredder was spinning the wolf skull on his finger out of boredom. 
"I really wish you wouldn't mess with that thing." Ice said.
"I'll be careful mom." Shredder joked.
"Remember to do your chores." Ice retaliated.
Shredder placed the wolf skull under his hood and it rest upon his head, he walked toward the exit. 
"Where are you going?" Subsonic inquired.
"Getting a guild hall." Shredder said.
"Wha-" Ice was cut off by Shredder slamming the door on his way out.
Shredder sighed, his back against the wall of his apartment. He snaked through the crowds of people at high speeds, to them he was only a sudden rush of wind, to others of high levels he was a challenge begging to be overcome. Speeding throughout the virtual streets until he saw the guild sign on the side of a store. After purchasing the guild hall Shredder's very little left over money was used toward in game drinking, until at some point his avatar began to be drunk. 
A constant beeping woke Shredder, he rubbed his face and felt dried tears. "Odd." he said. He heard the beeping again, "What the fuck is with that beeping?" he yelled, only seconds later noticing he had received a message. It was a request to join his new founded guild.
"Who is Redel?" He remarked. He typed a response message to inform the strange player to meet him at the trade district, near the enchantment stores.
Shredder sat on a wooden barrel, spinning the wolf skull on his finger once more. A hooded woman with belts strapped around her chest and shoulders walked before Shredder.
"Are you Shredder?" She asked.
"Depends.. I'd prefer to know your name first." Shredder responded.
She unsheathed a dagger and held it to Shredder's throat. "I'm not here to fuck around."
"I'm fucking around." Shredder said, a flash of red in his eyes made the woman shiver.
"My name is Redel." She finally answered.
Shredder grabbed Redel's shoulder and used his upper body strength to flip over her. 
"What the hell was that about?" Redel asked.
Shredder pointed at a broken arrow, he kicked it as he went over her. "Does someone not like it when your around other guys? I can understand, I am pretty hot."
"Your pretty full of yourself." Redel remarked.
"Let's get back to my place before you get decapitated." Shredder said.
"Whoa, I'm not that kind of girl!" Redel screamed.
"Now who's full of themselves?" Shredder laughed, grabbing her arm and pulling her in a zigzag line through the district.
Redel and Shredder met Ice and Subsonic at his apartment, Shredder was busy looking around for any sign of attacks while once more holding his wolf skull.
"What is with him and that skull?" Redel asked.
"I like to think he treats it as a teddy bear. I'm pretty sure there's something special about it, but he won't find anything about it." Ice answered.
"I'm pretty sure it's a companion skull." Redel said. "Those things are pretty useful."
Shredder overheard what she said and yelled, "No shit? How do I turn this fucker on?"
"I don't know, rub it like a lamp I guess." Redel laughed.
Shredder rubbed the wolf skull, immediately it shined brilliantly and slowly formed into a physical being.
"I cannot believe that worked." Redel said, her jaw dropping.
When the light dissipated all that was left was a blue winged wolf, with a small white heart on its forehead.
"Before I say hello, I would like to inform you that there is a enemy preparing to fire at you." It informed.
Shredder immediately began to look furiously, hungering for a fight. The sound of a crossbow firing filled the air, the bolt itself made its mark in Shredders arm.
 "You dumb motherfucker." He growled, running toward the direction the bolt came from. 
"Is he gonna need some help? I mean he did just get shot." Redel asked worriedly.
"Nah, he's a bit of a badass when he needs to be." Subsonic replied.
"So he's one of those people who could walk through hell smiling." Redel said.
"Pretty much." Ice confirmed.
A young boy ran by the group, Shredder was not too far behind even with his injury he was even still using his injured arm. Shredder eventually caught the boy by tackling him to the ground. It took Redel, Ice, and Subsonic to pry him off the boy, he was rabid with anger.
"Get the psycho away from me!" The boy screamed.
"Oh you want pyscho? I'll show you psycho!" Shredder yelled in the distance, being dragged away by Ice.
