Well to all those who reviewed the first part of my story, thank you, and to all those who didn't please leave some reviews in this time, even if it's just to BS or criticism, constructive only, I don't like flames that much. Anyways, onto the fic:
The first night on the Job"Well, this is all fine and dandy. We go from a nice twenty million job, to piddly little five million, you're sure their not holding out on us?"
Annoyed at his symbiote's choice of words, the hunter known as "D" gave no response and walked through the town on horseback on a cobblestone road, and observed some of the more recent attacks. Dried blood ran into the sewer drain, and some limbs were scattered here and there.
Stepping off of his mount, D looked at some of the limbs and saw that some were either burnt off or sliced, too neatly, they were apparently very professional with their work. After inspecting the limbs, D threw them back and remounted his horse and continued down the street. He only got within a few feet when he came face to face with a very sour faced young woman with red hair tied back in a spiky bun.
"So you're the infamous Hunter that has the entire town buzzing, thinking that you'll save them, you don't look so tough, you look like you'll fall after only a few hits from some of the weaker minions" she taunted.
D offered no response and simply trotted off past the strong willed woman. "Let's see, the pay is bad, the women are rude, are you sure you want to take this job?" The symbiote said to its host again getting no response.
"Probably be better if we just let'em get butchered, then the bitch would see…" It said no more as its host then clenched his fist around the symiote's face, cutting off any more words that it would have said.
D overlooked the hill on the edge of town, looking on at the castle where the town's attackers were waiting for their nightly slaughter. D stared, hoping to get a sense of what was to come from the aura being given off by the castle. Hi thoughts were interrupted when a young woman appeared.
She stood a few feet below D's height and was clearly showing her expectancy with her large belly, swelling with the developed life within it. Her hair was a dark carrot orange color, and her eyes, flake of red rubies, eyes that would belong to a caring wife or a loving mother. "Do you think you can stop them?" She asked the dark and silent hunter, hoping for a positive response.
He continued to stare onward into the horizon, straight into the castle, almost boring a hole into it with his stare.
"I've fought many a vampire in my time, I can't be sure until I fight him"
He replied in a deep, haunting tone. "You've hardly said a word since you arrived her in our town. Why is it that you are like this? Why was that they said you were the best and the worst at the same time?" The woman known as Sora asked the hunter while concern literally poured out of each syllable. The hunter looked down at her and spoke: "they never told you did they?" he asked. She shook her head in a negative response.
"You'd best get inside. Nightfall is coming and death is sure to follow should you stay here any longer" with that she quickly retreated back to her home while the hunter's question remained unanswered.
Rika looked on at the hunter as he ran a corner and passed some people trying to make it back to their homes. But she wanted to get one last glimpse of the hunter and see just what he was capable of. "Okay mister Super Hunter, let's see just how powerful you really are. And with that, she hid in an alley behind some trashcans, watched, and waited.
Darkness strikesThe hunter surveyed the town and watched as the last of the townspeople gathered into their homes. He then began to travel from street to street, until finally, he had found who he was looking for.
"So, those foolish townspeople hired a hunter, how futile" The mutant known as Ladydevimon said as she emerged from the gaggle of ghouls that were a part of her nightmare soldiers. "The rest of you go on as per usual, I'll handle this one myself" she replied confidently.
Stepping off of his horse, D slowly walked toward the leather-clad mutant, and slowly unsheathed his long curved blade, letting it's untarnished steel glisten in the moonlight.
Ladydevimon leapt at the hunter with unmatched speed and fury. She sliced down one of the streetlamps in the area with her long armed claw, but still missing the hunter by a marginal distance. She looked up to see the hunter quickly bare down on her and bring his sword down just as fast, slicing off her long arm.
The mutant screamed for a moment while the hunter landed and took another look at his female aggressor. He stopped and observed as she placed her arm back to it's torn socket and it reattached itself while the eyes of the leather attachment on her shoulder glowed leaving her arm in perfect condition.
"So you have a symbiote to aid you in your bloodshed" the hunter spoke in a soft but powerful tone.
"You're good hunter, but you're still no match for me!!" with that she leapt at him and prepare to slice him down just as she did the previous streetlamp. She didn't count on the hunter leaping up in the air and bringing his blade down on her symbiote, slicing it in half and continuing to cut her down as well, Completely severing her left side, and dividing her heart in two halves.
Her screams were the last of her unrelenting fury while her lifeblood bled out into the street. The hunter watched as she writhed in agony for the last few moments and proceeded on, but not before cutting off the mutant's head.
"How do you think Ladydevimon fared against the hunter?" asked a Meramon who was traveling alongside the orgremon who had attacked the town before. "Probably sliced him and diced him" the Ogremon Replied.
They stopped dead in their tracks and came face to face with the said hunter. "What, you're still alive? Then what happened to Lady…?" He didn't get a chance to finish as the hunter presented Ladydevimon's decapitated head to the now doomed mutants.
"You did this? You'll pay" The Meramon said as it shot out a ball of fire at the hunter, only to have the hunter point his left hand at the balls of flame and blow them apart with a powerful blast of wind emanating from what looked like a mouth in his hand.
Meramon looked on as the hunter shot straight at him, and pierced his heart through the flames that made up his body. The hunter pulled his sword from the fiery beings heart and then turned his attention to the ogre-like being to his right.
"You think you can stop me that easily, take this: "Pummel Whack" and the Ogremon rained down a hundred blows at the hunter, who dodged them with relative ease, and still marched on to the doomed mutant. "I'm not out of it yet, try this" and swung his club at the hunter, who sliced the top of it off, in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, the Ogremon turned and ran, only to be sliced straight down the middle by the hunter's long sword.
Rika looked on at the hunter's work. A decapitated ladydevimon, a divided Ogremon, and numerous others, maybe they didn't waste their money on him after all.
She didn't have time to finish her thoughts as she was roughly seized around the throat by a long dark clawed arm, that arm belonged to the Devimon. "My, my what have we here? A stray run from her home, don't worry, I'll take you to someplace even better"
He didn't get a chance to carry out his task as his arm was sliced from the shoulder.
Rika looked on as the hunter watched the mutant slink back down into the ground like water. "Good thing I decided not to stray too far from this area" The hunter replied softly
"What about that.?" Rika asked as she heard the sound of evil laughter all around her. "So, you think that by bringing a hunter into your town, that you're safe. You're wrong, your still the prey of the hunters of the night" The Devimon cackled as he slowly rose from behind The hunter and prepared to impale him on his claws when a knife whirred past his head, narrowly missing one of his horns. This gave the hunter the moment he needed to turn around and attack.
The Devimon didn't have time to feel surprised, for he felt the hunter's blade pierce his heart, and end his life, but before he died, he watched the hunter mouth a few words. He couldn't hear him as his life quickly left him, and he collapsed into the ground, and into the blackness from whence he came.
Rika looked as the hunter struck the mutant through the chest and silently spoke: "How does it feel to go from hunter, to the hunted" and as the mutant melted back into the ground the hunter ripped his blade from the creature's chest.
He was amazing. His movements were like the wind, his strength was silent and at the same time powerful, he truly was one of a kind, she just wanted to know what kind.
Comes the dawnThe townspeople emerged from their homes and looked on at the chaos across their streets. Demons and mutants were literally dissected across their roads; head and other limbs were found in other locations. Cheering and resounding joy was heard all throughout the town. Sora, strayed away from her husband and family for a brief time and found the hunter, mounted atop of his horse, and standing over a few slaughtered mutants. She carfully stepped up to him and spoke: "thank you for helping us, we are eternally grateful. You've saved a lot of lives tonight"
"My work isn't done yet, tonight, I'll make a strike on the castle" The hunter replied.
Well, that's it read and review
