Cubs and Alphas

A Proud Cub
There were six of them. Six armed guards stood at attention, protecting the entrance to a strange looking building. According to others, the building was supposedly a large warehouse, with insane amounts of expensive technology. Technology that would sell for millions in the. The plan was simple; jump down and take out all the guards, kill them if needed. Simple in theory, a bit more difficult in actually following through with that plan.

Harlan stood on a nearby watchpoint, staring at guards. They simply stood there, not even glancing in other directions…they were far too disciplined. Harlan carefully pulled out his shotgun from his back, making sure he could still see the guards. All he needed now was a way down to the ground. He looked around from where he was, searching for anything he could use as platforms to quickly get on the ground. Eventually, he found a way to get down. Across from where he was, there was a flagpole. Harlan decided that he would jump to the flagpole, and land on it. From there, he’d jump down to the hole in the building he was on, and continue to jump from platform to platform.

Harlan acted on his plan, and managed to eventually get onto the ground. Next, came the fight against the guards. Harlan slowly approached them, trying to make out the weapons they had on him. Once he saw what they had, he was taken by surprise. These weren’t humans or anything like that; these were cyborgs. Machines with weapons on every part of their body. Harlan should have run away, that’s what anyone else would do. But not Harlan. Harlan had that natural lust for fighting, he always wanted to break out into combat. And thats what he would do.

Harlan charged towards the cyborgs, and they snapped their heads towards it. The first one prepared its shoulder gun, ready to fire at Harlan. Harlan kept charging at that cyborg, imbuing his shotgun with electricity from his. He jammed the shotgun barrel through the cyborg. That not only caused damage to the bot, but it also caused for it to short-circuit due to the sudden surge in electricity. Harlan proceeded to pull the trigger of the shotgun, firing at another one of the cyborgs. This again broke through the other cyborg and caused for a short-circuit.

Harlan turned towards the remaining four, as they took note of the damage Harlan had caused to their brethren. The cyborgs aimed their shoulder guns at Harlan in unison, and fired away.

“Busoshoku: Koka!” Harlan exclaimed, right before the barrage of bullets made contact with him. He surrounded himself in Haki, the bullets clanging off of him. The bullets kept hitting him in the face, which was getting annoying. On top of all that, Harlan wouldn’t be able to maintain the aura of Haki around him for long.

The hybrid began to take steps forwards, all while concentrating the electricity from his Electro at the end of his shotgun. He slowly brought it up towards the cyborg standing in the centre and fired away. The bullet released from the shotgun was surrounded with more electricity than the other ones he had fired. The bullet broke through the centre one, quickly short-circuiting it. But that wasn’t all, the electricity spread to the other cyborgs, short-circuiting them as well. Harlan’s cloak of Haki vanished just as the remaining cyborgs collapsed to the ground. Harlan exhaled, placing his shotgun back on his back. He looked up towards the sky.

“Booyah!” Harlan exclaimed, pumping his fist into the air. “Who just took down six cyborgs? That’s right, I did!” he continued, obviously proud and content with his victory. Just then, a loud blaring alarm began to ring. Harlan looked around in surprise, a look of anger and worry appearing on his face.

“Oh, shit nozzle.”
