Revenge Gods Among Us: DLC
KRAVEN THE HUNTER
I sat in my chair, my throne. In my "home", in South America. I've "lived" here since my resurrection. The life where my family took away my greatest victory. Where the hunter conquered the spider. My family did this under the ludicrous belief that they were "saving" me. Returning the glory I lost when I shot myself. They were fools. They had done nothing but ruin that which I had rightfully earned, I was finally at peace. I knew I was better, I knew I was his superior. I died happy, complete. My family took away my greatest hunt, my last hunt. And I will never forgive them for it.
I rise, watching the change happening miles and miles away. The landscape paved, changed to suit the spiders desires. This world belongs to him now. We're all caught in his glorious web. I can't stand it. My family is content with hiding. Letting the spiders be the hunters. I am not the same. I am tired of sitting surrounded by countless trophies of animals and "totems" unworthy of my hunt, my skill. My dear daughter, the only one who understands the hunt. Comes to me.
The beautiful young blonde haired girl approaches. She's dressed in black leather, regrettably skin tight which hugged her sought after figure. That of hunter. She left her hands and feet uncovered, her hazel eyes held compassion, but I saw beyond it. I saw the killer instinct. The one she had gotten from me. In her I saw myself, I saw a hunter proud of her skill and her strength. She would be a great part in the mighty hunt.
"Father." She whispered softly, respectful unlike the droning her mother used to do. That is, before I snapped her neck.
"Yes?" I ask, slightly bothered that she interrupted my thoughts. The spider had thrown me for a loop, I couldn't even enjoy her company.
"I know that look. You need a hunt. And not the mediocrity the spider has left. You need your hunt." She answered correctly, spot on as usual. She was bright, beyond her years for sure,
"It's true,. Peter. Kaine. They elude me!" I mutter unhappily. Those men, those spiders responsible for all of this. Responsible for my hell. The reason why I must wake every day, instead of resting.
'You want to set things right, da? Put it right. Crush them like the arachnids they are." She suggested with a smile.
"Yes. Yes! A new hunt. We can make our way back. Mark our way over to his Metropolis."
"His soldiers have spider-powers, we can take them out one by one.."
"Work our way up their web. Kill their more powerful soldier..Then the spiders..then.."
"Your prize?"
"My prize." I repeated with a slight cackle. I had been gone to long. I've grown weak. Soft. It's time for me to get back to my roots. A a hunter. His spider dunces will make excellent practice. This world may fear him as a god. But I know him only..as PREY!
I begin by re-donning my attire. I am reborn as the hunter. Wearing a white tee, brownish beige pants, combat boots, and a sleeveless lion head jacket. On my arms I wear bandages just till my elbow, higher up I wear bands made of cheetah skin. One my shoulders the skulls of Rhinos, my knees that of the cross fingerless gloves below that. Finally I place my blades in there proper positions. Ready at a moments notice, ready for my hunt. The crown jewel of my weaponry however is mys hot gun. My greatest weapon. The weapon I used to seal my victory with.
"BEWARE SPIDER! VICTORY BELONGS TO KRAVEN!"
"Kraven had resumed his formerly intense and vigorous training. With a clear goal in mind, the hunter had nothing but focus. Ensuring that his skills as a marksman, as well as a fighter were as sharp ever. Especially if he intended to even land a blow on the spider, let alone harm him. Certain of his victory, Kraven drafted a costume, a final suit for his final victory."

"However, even the might Kraven knew that taking on the man who owned the world was near suicide, not that he minded. Considering that he intended to commit suicide upon victory anyway. He knew to match a god, he must become one. Or at the very least something close. So he located his former lover, Calypso. She supplied him with a new form of the superhuman drug he used to take. This drug would give him the powers he desired to face Spider-Man head on. He thanked her for her assistance, and promised they would meet again upon his victory. He and Ana then set out, headed for Metropolis."
-Image of Kraven standing next to Ana as they stalk Regime soldiers, Kraven have an focused a determined look,as he placed his shot gun on his back. Ana drew two knives, and the night of the hunters began.-
"Are you ready, father?" She asked, pointing to the Regime soldiers below. They were weak, soft, only having basic abilities.
"Reborn ready, my dear." Was the only response I offered her as I engaged the men. My first thought, was to assassinate them, quick, clean, send a message. But I wanted to do more than that. Or more accurately, worse than that. I wanted them to die by my bare hands, no weapons, no nets, no drugs, no tricks.
They're fast, strong, powerful compared to the average man. hey will make fine prey. They think like men, and not spiders. Their first response is with their guns, attempting to shoot me. Unaware that I was far to fast for that. And far to strong, for the few bullets that landed there target.
Pictures of Kraven taking out two regime shoulders near effortless, while Ana watches with a bored expression, craving there mark into the side of the Regime truck with her knife.
With little to know work I dispatch them. The younger one in the first to go, he rushes at me, and I outmaneuver him. Going over his head and toss him into the ground with a loud thud. Predictably he springs back up, giving me time to gut him, the force sending him into the nearby tree. And while he's in shock I go in for the death blow, ramming my knee into his throat. Completely crushing his windpipe.
The elder spoke "What the hell are you? How are you..?" He seemed to have a lot of questions, but I was high uninterested in what he had to say. And without another word I moved onto him, deciding to draw my knives in order to confuse the other soldiers when they found them. Te best part of a hunt is the surprise. He tries to move, but he has no idea where he's going, or what he's doing. He jumps into the blade more often than not. And when he's nearly tired, bleeding out on the hot ground beneath us I offer him relief. Thrusting my blade into his heart. Two down. And who knows how many others to go.
"Kraven and his daughter had spent months tracking down Regime soldiers, easily besting and slaying them for sport, all in their grand game. By this time they had collected enough Regime helmets to fill an RV. However, neither Sergei nor Ana were satisfied. They desired the bigger game that this hunt had promised them. Ana thought they should strike big, and go above Kaine. Cut the webs next line, May."
-Image of Ana stalking May throughout her day, carrying around picture after picture of May going on her daily routines. The more recent of the pictures contained images of a young male, Leo Davis.-
"Ana found herself infatuated with the two, almost in the same manner of her father's obsession with Spider-Man himself. Ana made it clear to her father that they were her kill, and that he would have to turn on him should he try to interrupt that. Kraven is pleased by her actions, claiming that she has the spirit of a true hunter, and that if these were her chosen spiders, he had no problem leaving them to her. Ana was glad he agreed, and continued to watch them, when she could anyway."
-Image of Ana watching May's private jet venture to Africa. Ana looking disheartened at her prey escaping her grasp, as her fathers consoles her, recommending that they go on another hunt for the time being. Maybe head away from Metropolis until they were certain of their return.-
((Another DLC Character for Revenge Gods Among Us! Kraven wants into the fight, but with his goals, is he really on anyone's side? I hope you've enjoyed my first story since my absence, as I certainly have.))
