The hunters headed up the trail to the mountains after grabbing their supplies at base camp, they passed into a new area right before the opening to the first snowy area.

"ok everyone ration up make sure ur ready to go lets make this fast"

Once they were all ready they walked into the next area snow was swirling and layed in blankets on the ground. A few giaprey were loitering in the area but there seemed to be no sign of the giadrome.

"Alright" Mesa said "Neir and Josh you guys go to the peak and well go down to the side ledge where the old camp used to be."

"ok as long as you guys can keep your hands off each other for awhile" josh mumbled

Metcheu turned and smacked josh upside the head

"What the hell is that supposed to mean" she yelled

"umm nothing" he said as he scrambled towards me"lets go before she tries to kill us instead"

I laughed and we headed towards the summit while they headed off the other direction

We arrived at the summit but we didn't see anything so we decided to head over to the old camp and wait for a minute. We had just sat down when we heard a loud screech followed by some weaker sounding ones.

"looks like they found it" I chuckled "I suppose we should go check to see of they need help"

As we came into the next area we saw the giadrome jumping through the air directing the smaller giaprey to take down these new intruders. Mesa was standing back shooting at the giaprey trying to get rid of them while metcheu was attempting to hold off the giadrome. It looked like she was dodging more than anything.

"alright josh set-up and help mesa then focus on the giaprey till there gone"

"im on it" he whipped out the light bowgun and started blasting the giaprey with mesa

I ran over to the giadrome it was getting ready to jump metcheu so I ran in front of him and threw up my sword in a guard blocking his attack. Metcheu stood up and ran around to his side and slipped into demon mode and started slashing away at the giadrome.

Suddenly at bullet followed by an arrow crashed into the giadromes chest. It stumbled back stunned for a second from the impact, looking around I saw all the giaprey dead there frail bodies writtled with gun shots and arrows.

I slashed upwards into the dromes chest leaving a gash. It snapped out of its stun and leaped at me but metcheu landed a slash and it collapsed on its side writhing in pain it stood up and tried to leave the area.

"stop it before it gets away" I yelled a blast and a twang followed it flinched for a sec and I caught up and cut into its back, it squirmed on the ground mesa ran up and sank the last arrow into its skull finishing the beast.

" haha that's 10 points for me boys" she said sticking her toungue out at us

"that thing was a total weakling it should only be 5 points" josh exclaimed

"nope we agreed on 10 for the final blow" she said

Suddenly metcheu tackled mesa

" that was amazing mesa im so proud of you ,your getting a special treat later tonight for this one" metcheu said winking

Josh and I both groaned are annoyance and let it go

4 HOURS LATER

We all headed back to the elder who was waiting with a smile

" congradulations on your first kill as a team"

The team smiled as we headed back to our houses with our payments. Later that night josh and I found out metcheu hadn't been kidding when she had promised mesa a special treat. Minutes later josh showed up at my house saying

"can I sleep on your couch I can hear them from mine, I don't know why I had to get the window nest to their bedroom, maybe if they weren't so damn loud" he yelled

I just pointed to the couch "help yourself"

Later that night I lay in my bed thinking to myself

" I need a different weapon the great sword is just to slow for my tastes" I passed out thinking about the different weapons I should try. Poor josh didn't sleep at all cringing everytime our teammates got to loud which they did frequently.
