I've been playing monster hunter generations when this idea came up. I've seen only two fanfics with Mizutsune in them and since it's my absolute favourite monster, I'm just writing my own. Hope you enjoy!
I do NOT own monster hunter
The guild lobby was full with life, the smith made armors and weapons all day and many hunters were waiting for their companions to hunt down their next targets, while other hunters were enjoying their break from their last quest.
Four hunters were currently sitting together at a table and were telling each other stories. One of them had a full Astalos armor, which shone completely green in the sunlight and was telling the other three hunters of his last quest.
"I had to kill this Astalos seven times now, but now I finally got the last item I needed from him and could make this longsword here.", he proudly stated.
The others were clapping and complimenting him.
"You have excelled yourself this time Ben, not bad. You don't rest until you have the complete set of an armour, right?", one of his friends commented. The other two hunters were nodding. The hunter named Ben smiled at that before he continued.
"Of course. I need excellent armor from excellent monsters. And what have you guys been hunting lately?", Ben asked curiosly while taking a gulp from his drink.
The hunter who was sitting beside him stopped drinking, as if he remembered something.
"Now that you mention it, I'v been in Yukumo lately and on my last quest there I had to collect some mushrooms in the misty peaks in the night but while I was doing that, I've encountered a fox like leviathan. It had some sort of bubbles around it and foam on its fur. I tried to ran away because I have never seen such a monster before but the foam around the monster made it difficult to ran away and I accidently slipped because of this damn foam. But when I thought that its going to kill me, it didn't attack at all and just walked away.",the hunter shivered a bit at those memories.
"You still have to collect mushrooms? Why don't you hunt some bigger things to rank up? Those collecting quests won't help you.", a hunter in a complete Rathalos armor replied.
Ben had to laugh, his friend Darren was right. Only the important jobs will help you to get famous. Darren loved to challenge monsters to learn more about them while Ben rather challenged them to get the materials he needs.
"Do you at least know something about this monster?", Ben asked.
The fourth hunter was silently listening. He was often together with the others to hunt but he wasn't really interested in talking.
The third hunter thought a moment about it.
"Well the Yukumo chef told me, that my description meshed with a monster called Mizutsune. A fox leviathan which can even challenge a Zinogre. It must be very powerful. Guess I'm lucky that I got away so easily.", Now the green hunter was beyond curios. He immediatly wanted to see and challenge this monster. New monsters were always exciting for him.
"I have a new target then", he stated.
All three hunters were now looking at him.
"You really want to hunt that thing? You might be the strongest of us but it must be very powerfull.", Darren stated.
"Why not? I would be the thirst one of us to hunt something new. And I mean, I've killed an Astalos so often to get the whole armor. Somebody wants to come with me?", he asked with gleaming eyes and looked at everyone.
Two hunters looked very worried and both shook their heads but the red hunter beside Ben looked more confident.
"Well then, I'm coming with you. I mean, somebody has to watch your back.", Darren said with a smile.
"I know I can count on you! We're both going to hunt the Mizu..tsen..zune? Those names... I'm definitly taking my Astalos armor and my new longsword.", Ben stated.
"Its called Mizutsune.I'm going to take my Rathalos armor along with my sword and shield. I'll be ready in some minutes you can pick the quest Ben."
"Yes yes, I know that you know monsters better than I do. Well then let's go.", Ben replied with excitement and walked away to pick the quest while Darren walked into a den to change his armor and weapons.
The other two hunters were waving their goodbye as Ben and Darren were making their way to their next quest.
"You think they're going to make it?", one hunter asked. The other one only nodded and said nothing. "You're never going to talk are you?"
"Be quiet and collect your mushrooms", he only replied while walking back to the table with his drink.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter, it's my first story. Leave your opinion in a review.
Have a nice day!
