It had been the same day as any other for Mathew. He got up, ate a bowl of bargain brand cereal, walked to work, had to deal with the absolute worst coworkers. Apparently someone had had a birthday, but they all forgot that he even worked there, so he didn't get any of the cake. And that was especially bad because he accidentally worked through his lunch break.
And then when he got off of work, he had gone to the store, there wasn't a lot on sale, so he just got his usual weekly purchase of a few shoots of green onion, milk, and instant noodles. However, he noticed people running in terror as he was walking back home, but he paid it no mind as he just kept on walking.

As he was walking, a large semi-truck would be thrown directly in front of Matthew's path. Several shrieks of terror and clamoring began to assemble into a single roar of fear, there was an attack. Several people came running from the opposite direction of where Matthew was, bumping into him as they desperately tried to escape the horror. Several feet away stood a large creature with green skin and heavy armor, in its hand, it swung a massive club as it continued destroying the nearby buildings. The beast was 12 feet in height, several horns protruding form its figure, giving it a more jagged and fierce look. "Bwahaha! Puny humans! Scurry like the vermin you are!" The beast would yell out as he continued to swing his club into the cars that were stopped along the street. One swing sent the massive hulks of steel careening into nearby buildings and effectively created a barrier of metal.  |

As cars aren't particularly great barricades, Mathew just sort of climbed over them when he noticed the giant monster. "Hey... I don't know your name... Can you please move? You're kind of blocking the road back to my house." He said from the top of the car. From there he was almost tall enough to look the beast in the nipples.

As the beast continued to swing his club, a voice called out which put a momentary halt to his destruction. Taking a moment to turn its massive body and search for the source of the sound, the orc caught sight of a man standing on the mountain of cars. The beast let out a snarl before moving forward, each of its massive steps causing the ground to shake as he scoffed.
"You wish to know my name so you can beg for mercy eh? Well, it won't help you but I am called Erath the Devourer!" The self proclaimed Erath spoke highly of himself as he allowed his club to rest against his shoulder. "I am the leader of the Orc people and I have come to claim our land! You humans are weak and fragile, submit and I may consider sparing you!"

"Submit to what? I just want to go past you, but you are taking up the entire road. Also, I have fresh milk in my groceries, and I'm pretty sure you are supposed to get it in the refridgerator as soon as possible.
"I don't know, I guess I could have gone around you, and then we wouldn't really be talking like this, but I have had a pretty... Well actually my day was pretty good.
"Why did I bother asking your name again?"

The orc blinks in confusion as the human seemed to have ignored him, he had clearly stated that he was a monster that would exterminate all humans but still he remained. Taking moment to listen to the oddly normal sounding human, Erath spoke up, interrupting him for a moment. "Uh, why aren't you running? You know I'm attacking your city right? If I catch you, I will eat you."
He only assumed that he must have bumped into one of the more stupid humans and so, Erath decided to make things simple. "I'm giving you to the count of 10 okay? If you're not gone, I will kill you." The beast would stand up straight and begin counting out loud. "One, two, three, four..."

"Hmmm.... I don't think I've ever actually ran in terror. How is this?" He let out a flat note of mild shock at best as he just sort of sat down on the car he was standing on.
"I don't know, I didn't really feel that that was any sort of terror thing."

Erath watched as Matthew let out the most mundane attempt at a shriek of terror conceivable to man. Not only did it sound so disinterested that it made Matthew look silly but it just made the Orc die a little inside. "Th-that was really bad...are you stupid or something?" The orc would ask as he brought up his massive left hand, face palming as he let out a sigh.
"Very well, if you do not understand terror, allow me to show it to you!" Raising the massive club up in his right hand, Erath would swing downward in an attempt to flatten Matthew and the wreckage he was standing on.

Mathew just kind of... Hopped off of the truck and to the side a little, so that when the club came down it crushed the wreckage, but he was out of the way. "I don't know, I think I'm smarter then the average person. I mean, don't you have to be pretty smart to work in accounting? Actually, what were you doing before the whole, trying to take over government lands business. Where did something like you even come from?
"Actually, now that I think about it, this entire situation doesn't really make a whole lot of sense."

Erath blinked in confusion as Matthew appeared to the side, having evaded the orc's attempted swing. "How did...I didn't even see you move! Stand still, I need to crush you!" The massive monster growled as he attempted to swing again, using a backhanded swing to try and knock the human into a nearby building. While this was going on, the human continued to speak, asking where Erath came from and remarking on the situation.
"We Orc's were a proud race, we set foot on this land before humans were crawling out from the mud!" He would roar as he attempted to swing several times, wanting to be rid of the human. "We have been hiding in the dense forest of Mount Paozu and because we grow in numbers, we now need to claim the land that is rightfully ours!"

"Well you see, that is the sort of thing that really makes this whole situation feel really strange and contrived, if the orcs were a fully developed race with an existing culture before people even became land dwelling animals, how is it that humans weren't hunted out of existence long ago, especially since considering your size you would have to eat roughly ten thousand calories a day, and with that kind of consumption rate you would have hunted most other species into extinction."
He kept on talking, though the attacks seemed to not hit him, it mostly looked like he was always just slightly out of reach as he just sort of stepped out of the way each time.
"And if you were living in the densest forests in the world, you would have to clear out a sizable portion to host a village in, and since we have satalite technology, that sort of thing would definitely not go unnoticed. Maybe chalked up to an undiscovered tribe of people and called a day, but that sort of thing would still make headlines."

"You humans destroy the forests, Orcs live under them! No need to destroy, we are big and if monsters come, we smash them all!" Erath would retort in a growl as he continued to swing his massive club, aiming to strike the human that continued to talk. Although Orcs had been around longer than humans, Matthew could most likely tell that judging from his clothing and choice of weaponry, they weren't so high up on the intelligence scale.
"Stupid human! Stop moving!" He would growl as he would slowly start to fatigue, his swings slowing down.

"Okay, so even if you don't just knock down a place to live, that still doesn't answer how humans would have ever beat you. Even assuming you are a slightly above average member of your species, you've killed what... Dozens of people in the last few hours? And you also seem really insistant on how this is supposed to go down.
"Actually, now that I think about it, you are acting an awful lot like the antagonist from an episode of an old anime, I remember that I wrote my first paper on how people working in entertainment need to start applying more rigorous logic to their creation on that episode.
"So tell me, are you really just a lonely giant person that watches a lot of obscure anime online?"

It was then that Erath was forced to face the reality of the situation. At that moment, he stopped, dropping the massive club at his feet, the impact of the large piece of wood causing the road under his foot to crack. He was breathing heavily, having wasted so much energy from trying to hit Matthew but it seemed that the jig was finally up.
An embarrassed expression moved across his face as he looked away. "Sh-shut up! I was just trying to be cool!" His expression had changed from a menacing beast to an embarrassed fool. "Baka, i-it's not like I wanted attention or anything..."

Satisfied with the answer he got he walked over to the club and just sort of picked it up. "Huh... You know from a cosplay perspective this is actually pretty good. I can't tell if you only had an old VHS tape and that was the only episode on it, or if you just poured an insane amount of time making sure you had the blood textures down pat with the paint."
He also proceeded to flick the knee pads to see what they were made out of, but the one he did sort of exploded like it was hit with a bullet. "Oh... Oops"
