Go!

~Roger POV~

After the chase of the golden kirin and our meeting with our transformed friend,me and my friends went down the mountain. It was still night. And im glad that it still was night, becouse if it were otherwise Xen's 'friends' would've gladly killed us. Anyway, as we were heading down i looked at the forest from my high vantage point. It was...silent. Silent. Wait...but now it should be bursting with activity from the nocturnal monsters! Something is amiss here. Are we too high on the mountain or what?

"Um..guys?"i finally broke the silence.

They all looked at me.

"Don't you think its too quiet? In the middle of the night? In the forest?"

The Guildmaster frowned before he replied

"Indeed. Ever since the talk with Xen i haven't heard even the faintest growl of any nocturnal monsters."

The other six nodded their heads before looking at the forest.

"Is it just me,or does the forest seem blacker than usual in the night?"asked Alvin.

"I don't think it's just you ,my friend. Now that i think about it Xen did mention an illness." remembered Sono.

"Do mew think we should camp up here four the night?"Shadow asked.

"I think that would be for the best. But. Let's keep an eye out for any unwanted Elder Dragons"

They all nodded again.

After a few minutes of searching they found a cave that could certainly house them.

(The next Day)

~Zenix POV~

The next morning i woke up to an...intresting sight. Star was cuddled beside me while all of the hatchlings were sleeping between me and her. But the interesting part comes next. When i move my head to see if anyone was awake i spot my Greatsword...wich was standing in the dirt with its blade into the ground. I quickly reached out for it with my head and picked it up with my mouth before putting it under a hole i dug with my claws. Good thing they won't spot it. I looked around again to see that i was indeed the only one who was awake at that hour. After yawning once or twice i put my head beside Star's to eventually fall asleep yet again.

~Jack POV~

The next morning i woke up, i was in a cave besides Shadow,Xen's palico. For a minute or so i was actually wondering why where we here. But it all came back to me in a short while after.

I looked around and realised that everybody else was waking up aswell.How convenient.

"Good morning to ya lads."i greet.

"G'morning..."replied Sono and Alvin at the same time.

Roger and the others did the same before getting up. Then i realised something. Where is the Guildmaster?

I looked around again. No sign of him. I looked out of the cave. Then i saw him doing exercises.

"Good morning!"i greet.

"Aye,morning! Took ya long enough."

"Judging by the sun, you actually woke up very early Guildmaster sir."

"I am over three hundred years old. How do you think i keep myself in shape?"

"Allright,point taken. Where to next?"

"I say we go back to our camp first. Collect everything then move in the forest."

"Speaking of the forest it looks...weird."I say while looking at it.

"True. We'll see whats with this illness."

After a few hours of walking we finally managed to get back to our camp. We grabbed our weapons and provisions and we headed into the forest. Now,i've headed into this forest many times,and i mean MANY times before,but never have i seen it this dark and...silent. The silence was the most disturbing thing. We finally reached a clearing and what we saw was..geneuenly horrifying. Aptonoths,Velocipreys,Velocidromes, Kut-Kus,a Rathalos and a Rathian,a Tigrex and a Deviljho were all on the ground, dead. Never mind all the other wildlife like birds and rabbits.

Seeing this disturbing image,everyone froze. For a few minutes all was stopped. I glanced at every single monster and noticed something. Their color was darker then usual.The Raths were dark red and dark green. The Deviljho was a very dark green. The Dromes and Preys were dark blue. The Kut-Kus were darker in color aswell. Even the Aptonoth's pale color was now a darker purple.

"Well ... This is certainly disturbing..." i finally break the silence.

The others nodded again.

" Lets not approach them..-" but just when he was about to finnish that a very dark Valstrax appeared from the trees. It was certainly smaller then Xen but it still was fast. As soon as it noticed us it let out an almighty roar before leaping to us. Fortunetly we managed to evade the attack. Unfortunetly though, the Valstrax was quick to realise that and striked again,this time hitting me,Roger,Alvin,Sono and Shadow with its claws while swatting the other into a tree with its tail.

"Ouch... You picked the wrong hunters fool!"i said while charging at him. The others followed suite with their own battle-cries.

Then one of the most fiercest battles began. The Valstrax was very agile and quickly slashed us before throwing us away. Although we were eight versus one, it was still kicking our butts. Fortunetly we managed to escape it by running out of the forestmleaving it behind to wonder where we are.

"Phew. Are any of you badly injured?" asked the Guildmaster.

"Badly? Well, im fine"i respond.

Everyone else seemed allright aswell.

"Ok back to the Schrade i guess."i suggest.

So we get to what's left of the Scrade to get to the other side of the forest.. When we got to the other side we saw that it was infected aswell. We were trapped. The only uninfected place was Xen's mountain.

Great.

~Zenix POV~

After i woke up later i still saw my friends sleeping,only this time they were begining to wake up. Heck,Zukeri and Shine were already up. Star was now even more cuddled with me while the little ones moved between the cover of our wings..

A few minutes later Shine walked out of the cave only to gasp at what she saw outside.

"Oh my.."she said.

Hearing that,Zukeri came by her side only to do the same thing. Ok,now im interested. I gingerly get up,not wanting to wake Star or the hatchlings up. After that,i make my way to them to see what seemed to be the problem.

What i saw made chills go through my spine. If you were looking into the horizon you could only see darkness. If you were looking down on the forest yhere was darkness.

I quickly ran to Voron and woke him up.

"Purplesacle. Up. Now!"i told him.

"Uh...what..."

"There's something really bad outside.."

He got up after putting his kids besode Clearskin,then came outside to see the view. He was shocked aswell.

"What do we do?"he asked.

"I...I don't know"

"Zenix?"a faint whisper was heard from the cave.

I quickly ran to her.

"Yes Star?"

"Where were you?"

"Outside.There's something i think you should see though."

She reluctantly got up while gently putting Platinum,Kira and Lana on my back and Nova and Sparkle on hers while they were all still sleeping.

"Holy Fatalis...what is this?"

But before i had a chance to reply a familiar kind of roar came from the forest,just before a very dark Valstrax came out of it. We instantly looked at it,while all of the other monsters woke up. The hatchlings included.

"Mommy? What's happening?" Nova started.

"Im scared..."whimpered Sparkle.

Platinum,Lana and Kira were also stiring on my back, whimpering and screeching.

The other hatchlings in the cave were also distressed.

It came to the point where me and Star had to put them between us again for protection.

"Don't worry.. Daddy and Mommy will protect you no matter what. Shush now.."

They calmed down after a few tries.

As i looked at the sky though i spotted a black dot getting bigger by the minute. Using my better eyesight i realized it was the dark Valstrax. It moved very fast.

"Everyone go into the cave,now!"i screeched.

Zukeri and Shine didn't need to be told twice

"What about you love?"asked Star.

"Ill handle it. Take the kids and whatever you do ,don't leave the cave unless i say so. "

"Ok..Be carefull...and.. i love you!"she said while taking the hatchlings to the cave.

"Love ya too."

Then i jumped and flew towards the new enemy. This will be an interesting fight.

Aaand thats it for this chap. Hope you like it..

Ok so by doing a random number generator i decide that the next character will be a Velkhana that and from Anjanath1021's idea,and the name will be Shard.

Allright ,untill next one lads!
