They've been hunting for hours. And still nothing but small fry. "Do you really thing we are going to find the Reaper like this? Like we were supposed to meet that thing way back there." One of the hunters groaned, pointing back at where they came from. "C'mon, we gotta be close! By the time we started to where it was supposed to be, the Reaper could've moved so we gotta meet it very soon. Plus the readings say we are very close." The leader of the party exclaimed. Sinon sighed. Maybe she should have joined another party. But she was wondering about the claw marks that scattered across the trees and ground. Perhaps they were from the reaper. "Whoa, What happened here?". Sinon turned to look. There laid the Reaper. Claw marks were all over the body of the thing. One of the hunters went over. "Damn! This guy didn't even bother collecting his legendary items!" The hunter exclaimed. The leader then spoke. "Must've been a party with a high ranking player or something. But that saves the work for us!" He said, picking up one of the legendary items.
Sinon looked to the side, ignoring the party. On the ground was a blocky U shaped print with the tops of the U looking like T's. There was also a thick bar going through the U, Two small empty spaces from a flat plate going up to connect to the bar. There were also two holes higher up, likely the tip of the foot or something. Besides it higher up was another of the same print. The pair of prints kept going into the forest, one higher than the other, resembling something walking. "Hey Sinon! Want any of the legendary items?" The leader called, walking over to her with another person. "No, I'm wondering a bit more about these marks..." She replied. "Hmm, Well judging, Looks like whatever these are from could've killed the Reaper. So... Why not we track it and get even more items!" The leader said excitedly. "Are you crazy?" Sinon gasped. "The Reaper is already hard enough to defeat, and you want to go after something that killed it single handed!" She finished. "C'mon, we have a party. Plus i'm sure a good player like you can killed the reaper single handed, so you can back us up! What could possibly go wrong!" He patted her on the shoulder. "Everything" Sinon muttered shaking her head as the leader gathered up the rest of the group and they headed off.
It wasn't long to find where the prints leaded. A cave that was somewhere in the foliage. "ALRIGHT BOYS, EQUIP YOUR LIGHTS, WE'RE GONNA GO IN AND FLASH THAT MOTHER FUCKER AND GET OUR BONUS ITEMS. READY UP!" The leader shouted, many of the hunters opening their menu and equipping flashlights or night vision goggles. They were also doing other things like reloading and equipping different guns and equipment. Soon they were all lined up and formed into groups. The ones with night visions went in first to scout. soon the other groups went in. It almost seemed military styled even though they were out of fashion and order. Sinon was one of the last groups to enter the cavern which was quite sizable and one of the scouts pointed her to one of the ledges.
Some of the hunters lowered their weapons and one even said "There's nothing in here." and it seemed so. A small group of people then exploded, the group being tossed into the air. Another explosion hit another group, and soon cannon shots picked off soldiers as they tried to find where they were coming from. Sinon then saw something drop down from the roof and slice one of the hunters into two. Many of the group started to fire, some even hitting friendlies. There were flashes of green and reflective material as flashlights shown onto the attacker. Sinon tried to keep track of what was happening, it was all too fast. There! She fired two shots. Both of them hit the reflective material on the attacker. The attacker then threw one of the hunters at her and she tried to dodge, but the hunter collided with her for the ledge was too small, taking her Hecate. She watched as it fell and clattered on the cavern floor. Shit. She would have to go down and retrieve the sniper but all she had was her secondary pistol. Perhaps she could do it while the others kept the attacker busy.
Swiftly climbing down the ledge, Sinon jumped the rest of the short way and grabbed her sniper. The group was almost wiped out, she wouldn't have enough time to get back up. She took aim. The attacker wasn't facing her. Something on the back moved and aimed at her. She realized what it was and fired. Her gun dropped to the ground again as her arm was shot off by the attacker's gun. He then dealt with the last person and turned to her.
