Disclaimer: I do not own Homestuck or anything else mentioned in this fanfic.
This is going to be kind of different. This will follow nothing from Homestuck, except for using the characters, kind of like putting them in a whole other story. It'll be kind of like Rp'ing I guess.

The shot of a fully upgraded plasma buster sounded throughout the thick forest. The sound was loud and jarring to the finely trained ears of one bounty hunter making her camp in a tree. She would have to set her camp up faster than she thought.
Setting up camp wasn't the biggest priority, it just being a sleeping bag tied to a tree limb, but the trap was already finished and she needed a good place to watch the whole thing unfold.
The plasma buster's shot was the warning that her colleague and her had agreed upon previously. Her side-kick, as she'd been used to calling her, would chase the villain out of hiding and into the path of her well-planned trap.
Or traps...she had gone kind of crazy with their budget on this mission. Setting everything from trip-wires to barb wired nets out there. Basically a fucking mine-field.
Her favorite trap wasn't the deadly bag of badgers, or even the hidden paralysis viper. No, this bounty hunter's favorite was the horrifying ambush of genetically altered bees. The GABs have dangerous poison that could trigger someones greatest fears in the back of their minds and bring it forward, some stings have even been known to permanently blind the victim.
Overkill yes, but it was so much fun to see how the villains react to their nightmares being brought forward. There was no room for sympathy for those who did horrible things.
Sitting in the tree on her teal sleeping bag, she couldn't wait. This man had it coming. He had been sent to court on the accusation of molesting his sixteen-year-old daughter. But, right before his trial, he had went crazy or something and killed his wife of 21 years and ran away into the forest.
Yeah, this shit bag had it coming.
Screams pierced the plain and Terezi saw the man break through the thick foliage, scrambling to get away from the insane cat girl that was chasing him.
Oh, this was her favorite part! The first trap he stepped onto was normally made to make look stupid as hell. Terezi wasn't a patient woman, so she had put the GAB trap up first.
Nepeta always stopped chasing the bad guys when they got close to the 'mine-field', but something was wrong this time. It was as if she didn't know the first trap was coming. Just like the bounty, she shocked and surprised.
Terezi had forgotten to tell her about the last minute preparations...
'Dammit!' Terezi leaped down from the tree and to her side-kick's aid before the bees were able to touch her.
"Nepeta!" She tackled her and covered her body from the stings. Her leather trench coat had protected her from most of the bee stings, but at least three had found their way to her uncovered neck.
Numb, that was what the first one made her feel like. Calm before the storm she guessed. Then the second one, burned through her veins like everyone of her blood vessels were on fire. Still covering Nepeta's body with her shaking one.
The third was the worst. It begun the hallucinations, warping the world around her. She couldn't tell what was happening, she was being pulled, yelled at, and pushed to the ground by Nepeta. Or what she thought was Nepeta.
Her world was spinning and filled with pain. The slapping and shaking wasn't helping so much.
"Ter, snap out of it! Come on!" Nepeta was shouting, or was it her? Her face continued to be hideously morphed until it turned into an eight-eyed, furry face, with a couple of pincers on the jaw.
She made some sound between a shout and an anguished scream. Terezi struggled to push her off, but her limbs weren't working and she was quickly pushed back.
"Terezi, come on stop!" Nepeta's voice turned distorted as well. Going deeper and higher in the mid points of her sentences, "You're hallucinating! Whatever you're seeing isn't real!"
Nepeta continued to try and talk her partner out of this; terrified as much she was. Then Terezi's body went limp and Nepeta stopped screaming at her, picking her friend up and throwing her over her shoulder. Ignoring the middle-aged man shouting in the barbed wired net being attacked by GABs.

"Oh, Terezi...isn't you're birthday?"
"Yes, of course!"
"I'll have to get you something special then, huh?"
"Oh please big sis, please!"
"Don't worry, I have something in mind..."
A young woman woke up at dawn in a cold sweat. Something was wrong, she was in a hospital bed and her previous dream had only been in sounds and smells. She couldn't see anything in her hospital room. In fact, she couldn't see anything at all.
Rubbing her eyes frantically, trying to see if the problem was easily fixable. It wasn't.
'What happened to me?' Terezi wasn't processing anything. She didn't remember what happened last, except for a worried scream that sounded like Nepetas.
"Nepeta!" Terezi tried to sit up but was stopped by Nepeta's calming hands.
"The doctor said not to move, or you'll spread the poisons." Nepeta had stayed in the chair next to the bed all night; waiting to see her friend awake.
Hearing the cat girl reassured her and she calmed down, "Wh-what happened Nepeta? Why can't I see?"
Nepeta looked down in sadness but kept her voice calm, "I'll tell you..."

A young man stood in the market place owned by his grandmother and grandfather and turned one of the used on in the corner. The news was on.
"...On further investigation on the capture of the criminal, Harry Turner, he was found last night in a barb-wire net surrounded by genetically altered bees." The anchor woman shuffled her notes, "No news on who could have captured him..."
Karkat Vantas turned the T.V off and huffed. Why does no one ever mention bounty hunters? Bounty hunters were behind all of the recent captures of criminals of course! When he was little he always aspired to be a famous bounty hunter, but his mother and father didn't want him to at all.
Now that they were dead because of a horrible car-crash on his 7th birthday; nothing was really stopping him from becoming one. Then again, living with his grandparents, everything was so much stricter.
"Karkat! Back to work!" A small paper ball hit him on the back of the head, "And pick that up too!"
"Yes Grandma..." Karkat sighed and picked up his broom once again, starting to sweep. Drifting off to a world with more adventure and less tragedy then the one he was living in now.
