Hunt 33: Horns of Lighting
Thunder Snow Mountain – Mid-Day
Xross Blades are walking back up the mountain after Zedept rested up. Lyra and Raylin are in front, followed by Link and Zedept in the back. "You ok?" Link asks. "Yeah, it's just been awhile since I climbed a mountain." Zedept said as he catches up. "We can slow down." Lyra said after she stopped and turned around. "Don't. I can catch up." Zedept said as he speeds up some. "Link, when you was in school, did you learn about Kirin?" Lyra asks.
"All I learned is that they're the weakest of the elder dragon class. They have characteristics of a horse with a horn and a large white beard and their skin is white with very light blue stripes." Link explained. "Don't forget that they have been called 'Gods of Thunder'." Zedept said. "Right, almost forgot about that part." Link said. "So I'm at a disadvantage with my Rathian armor." Raylin said. "We got your back." Lyra said.
"Don't forget that my Tigrex armor is weak against lighting attacks as well." Zedept said. "So that mines my Jhen and Lyra's Jinouga armor are the best ones for this hunt." Link said. "So then we have to protect them." Lyra said. "Just stay on your toes. They're supposed to be tough, even for the weakest of the elder dragons." Zedept warned. They nodded and continue walking.
Thunder Snow Summit – Mid-Day
They reach the summit. "We made it." Raylin said. They look around a corner and stop a large group of Kirin. "There's so many of them." Lyra said softly. Raylin then sees Zedept muttering something. "What are you muttering about?" Raylin asks softly. "36." Zedept said quietly.
"Huh?" Link asks. "There's 36 of them." Zedept said keeping his eye on them. Everyone is surprised when they heard the number. "There's no way we can take that many on." Lyra said. They notice that a lot of them are leaving. "Good, that will make it a lot easier on us." Raylin said relieved. "There's 4 left, that means we get 1 each." Link said. Zedept places his right hand onto his greatsword's handle. He then looks at the others.
They get ready and they nod back. They charge and each go after one. Zedept swings his greatsword downwards and his Kirin dodges. Lyra slashes at hers but her long sword bounces off. Raylin fires pierce shots at hers and Link slashes at his with his switch axe in sword mode. Zedept's Kirin keeps side stepping, avoiding his slashes.
"Damn it, stay still." Zedept said. Lyra's long sword keeps bouncing off of her Kirin. "Damn, tough skin." She said. Raylin's shots are barely hitting hers. "This is tougher than I thought." She said reloading. Link's attacks are barely hitting as well. "Man, this is tough." He said.
Suddenly all 4 Kirin swing their horns downward and large lightning bolts strike Xross Blades. "AHHHH!" They scream. Zedept and Raylin has taken some major damage. Link has taken some with Lyra taking barely any. "We need a plan here." Raylin said to everyone. "I got it. Make them run into each other." Link said to everyone.
"Gotcha." Zedept and Lyra said. They get up and Zedept makes his Kirin back steps into Link's Kirin. "HAAAA." Link said slashing the 2 Kirins. Raylin blasts her Kirin into Lyra's. "Take this." Lyra said slashing downwards. "All together now." Zedept said getting into the stance from the training school.
The rest of them knocked the Kirin into a wall. "Now!" They yelled. Zedept dashes a the Kirin and he stomps down and thrusts Shikaiza through all 4 Kirin. The Kirin struggle to get free but they all die. Zedept falls to his knees. "Zedept!" The gang said as the rush over to him. "I'm ok, just a bit out of practice." He said standing back up and pulling out his greatsword. Raylin pulls out her carving knife. "I think it's about time I get some new armor." She said. "Go ahead." Link said.
After Raylin carved the 4 Kirin, they went towards a cave and inside was a shrine. "It looks like the one from Imperial Volcano." Lyra said. Zedept walks over and opens a slot and there lies the 4th and final piece. "Now we have all 4." Link said. "Let's get back to Icajuinawe so Raylin can make her armor and we can put this together." Zedept said. "Yeah!" They all said and they descended down the mountain.
