Reiku Hogosha walked calmly in the crimson forest. Leaves fell slowly and serenely to the forest floor, an occasional light breeze trickled in and out of his jet-black hair, the Autunm afternoon sun shining brightly into his deep red eyes.

This would probably be a candidate for Photo of the Year, Reiku thought.

A subtle grin was drawn on his face as he began to admire the beauty of the dreamscape that surrounds him. Little did he know that where he stands would attract the force that can potentially shatter this unrivaled beauty...

Grrrrrr...

Just one noise that was out of place was all it took for adrenaline to consume Reiku. A flick of the arms, click, and in his fingers already clutched Masai & Kisu.

Rrraaarrggg!!!

The once soft yet chilling growls grew into a ferocious roar as the pack of Grimm surrounded him. No. "Pack" wouldn't describe the terrifying number of Grimm that now appeared before him on all sides.

"Army" would be more like it.

The number appeared grow drastically as more and more monsters revealed themselves from the forest flora. From Beowolves to Boarbatusks to Deathstalkers to Usae, it seemed that just about every species of land-Grimm were present in this soon-to-be battlefield. Reiku had fought hordes of Grimm before, most of it came as part of his training with his pink-haired mentor, Farrah. But even with his experience, he knew that he would not survive this ordeal...

That is, unless if someone came to assist him.

Reiku didn't have a choice. Escape would most likely result in an instant demise...or worse: a slow and painful death. Yet attepting to fight back would be the equivalant of walking straight towards Death's door...

You have never let me down, a female voice ringed inside the depths of his own mind. Do not let today - or any other day - be the day that happens.

Farrah's words resonated deep within him. No, Reiku had never let his mentor down, and folding the cards on this one would very much break his streak, more importantly his promise.

''Even if I die right here, right now. It will not be without resistance,'' he vowed mentally.

Despite knowing that this would essentially be suicide, Reiku assumed a fighting stance, and prepared himself for the ultimate test of skill...
