Yoshster: Say you know, we sure have been walking for awhile, are you sure your not hungry? You haven't ate anything since we left Volk city?

The Raptor said as he walked beside the wolf who seems to be low on energy, but was too embarrassed to even say it to the tall raptor, who seems to be a little worried for him.

Guntz: Calm it Yoshster. I am perfectly okay. Besides we can't keep stopping we-

Just as he was about to say more his stomach starts to growl and Yoshster looks down at him, giving the look of you sure about that. To which knows that he was right. Thus with a sigh Guntz agreed, besides he would rather have the strength to keep moving, rather then have the raptor drag his limped body to their destination.

Guntz: Fine let's stop for awhile. So I can eat then we gotta get to the dock. There's a boat that can take us across the sea over night.

Yoshster nod than handed over the bag of food that he was carrying and was still warm, to the wolf, who took it As they both stop at small campsite. That seem to be not too far for the sea. And that not many were near by thus it just being just the two of them.

It was refreshing to take a nice seat since both of the bounty hunters have been walking for quite a while now. They both enjoyed each other's company. It was unusually quiet since Guntz isn't used to having company, but after some time with Yoshster he begins to feel more comfortable around him and he then spoke up

Guntz: Heh for some odd reason this place gives me some memories from when I first begin my bounty hunt. The first bounty hunter I did. I helped an old woman get her personal belongings back from a bunch of thieves that were hanging around the Beach area. At first they didn't really thought I was dangerous but after practicing with my pops guns for awhile now I managed to get the job done but I did get hurt a little bit heh

He smiles at Yoshster as he takes off jacket a bit and on his right shoulder there was a long scar. The raptor looked a bit, but said nothing as the wolf contined.

Guntz: At first. I thought I was going to bleed out but luckily the old woman help heal it with something but I do remember it was a light of some kind than it seems to make me fall asleep for a bit.

The Raptor Look at his shoulder, no one came near them, he then thought about his own adventures. But something that won't seem too much since this is still a young wolf. He thought for a bit, before Guntz brought up a question.

Guntz: You mentioned about being a hunter. What were some of your first ones you can recall?

Yoshster: Heh it's funny how you ask, boy i've got plenty, some would be too long, while with ones I can recall that were memorable. There was this one time where I actually was asked to track down a group of thugs that seem to have stolen a whole case of gold bars, don't ask me how, even I asked the same thing. So I tracked them down in the night since it would've been stupid to do during the day, and managed to locate their hideout, which was a bar of some kind. I even dressed up to look like one of them to get in, then when they least expected, I got the upper hand on them. Then heh heh they asked the question.

Hearing this was getting the wolf's attention, a flick of his ear indicated he was indeed interested.

Yoshster: The boss asked if I wanted to do it the easy way, or the hard way, and well I said i'd choose the ladder! I grabbed a near by ladder and started to swing it around, Oh man the looks on their faces was priceless! And boy did they get a knock out like it was from a crane. I was then rewarded a pretty fair amount. And it was like pretty big compared to my earlier ones, where I was offered items that would help me out, so getting payed felt good.

Guntz: Pfft Hahahahaha Oh my goddess! You-you took criminals out with the most unexpected objects, and used as a weapon! Now that's a first i've heard where a joke became a legit way to take out foes!

The wolf was actually having a laughing fit, in fact it seemed pretty real and giving how much the wolf seemed to lighten up a bit. Yoshster smiled that he could make someone laugh, even if he wasn't a comedian.

When Guntz got his composure, taking deep breaths, he could tell this raptor does have some interesting stories to tell of his adventures, and bounties.

Guntz: Ok Raptor, since you told something ridiculous, why don't you share about items you mentioned. Like what kinds are we talking here?

The raptor glances before removing his shades. And snickering a bit.

Yoshster: You're really a nosey one, arnt ya Guntz?

Guntz: Well you got my attention, so shoot on.

Yoshster: Fair enough, well for this one, i'm gonna need you to put these on for a bit-hand his shades over- I have something that will make this story much more interesting to tell.

The wolf gave a rose brow, but shrugs and dose as instructed. When they were on, he waited for a bit with his ears picking up sounds of the raptor getting something, and it sounded big. He told him he can take them off and see what he has. When he does his eyes went wide at the sight of what the raptor was holding. It looked like some kind of fire arm, almost like out of space. It was about the size of Guntz's own main weapon, but with some errie red and yellow glow, with what looks to be a laser type.

Guntz: What the hell?! How the fuck did you even get something like that?!

Yoshster: Got this here from a bounty where I needed to take out a nasty monster that was causing trouble for people.

Guntz: That's not an ordinary weapon, it looks more like something Garlen would make.

Yoshster: Does it now? Well it functions like a ray gun, but this here baby is one of my mains. Other options is be like a regular gun, shoots out sticky traps so nothing can escape, can melt metal and even act as a lava lamp. Why does it have that feature I never knew.

He actually let the wolf hold it, to have a feel, it was a strange feeling, like almost familiar.

Yoshster: And this was in one of my dimensional travels. I decided to take this when the enemy wasn't looking, and used it against them. Turns out they wernt expecting a punk like me to take something as powerful as this. I even shot the fucker's head clean off, with the only draw back was the blood that got on me, but that's bound to happen if you take on dirty jobs like that. Lets just say after that I took a long needed and well deserved shower in a free weekend in a hotel.

Guntz looks at him and was amaze from the stories that Yoshster told as he eats up his food and was feeling full afterwards.

The both of them talk a bit longer than begin to make their way to the dock. And as they walk Yoshster offer him some candy that he brought out from his pocket. But not before asking if Guntz can eat chocolate. This brought a confused look to the wolf. But said he doesn't really eat chocolate that much since it's the kind of candy that is hard to get at times. With caution Yoshster give him little bit to he can try. Guntz eats it and it was very sweet and milky with caramel inside of it

Guntz: Mmm this is really good, thanks Yoshster!

He smiles liking the taste on his tongue, as the Raptor smirks back at him. Yoshster thought himself, wondering what he was worrying about and gives him more of the chocolate bar both of them share as they walked.

A few moments pass and they finally made it to Jugkettle sea where a small town lives on sea waters

Guntz: Here it is Jugkettle sea. We just need to cross this and then we'll be at the eastern desert. From there we can use my motorcycle to cross, and than we will be at Garlen's Castle got it?

He looks at the Raptor who nodded, as the both of them reached a small town where more townspeople looked at them. Yet this time they seemed to be calm for some odd reason. It was if they wern't strangers, some even gave good comments which was weird to Yoshster.

Yoshster: -Huh usually people would look at me, and would steer clear, or hell even try to fight or flee. But I guess they got word that I was around- Must bust be quite a well known here as well. What do you think Guntz? Uh Guntz, you ok man?

He than looks back at Guntz who seems to be a little shaky, in fact his mane was giving a clear sign of nervousness. as the both of them make it on the docks. Then the wolf looks up at him.

Guntz: w-what?

Yoshster: Hey are you alright? You seem to be look unwell.

The bounty hunter gives him a look than looks away in embarrassment.

Guntz: -God this is embarrassing heh but I know I can't hide this forever I need to tell him. He wouldn't laugh about it, he clearly takes these things serious.-

Yoshster looks at him and Guntz through honest yet embarrassed eyes spoke.

Guntz: I s-should have told y-you this earlier but I-i don't do well on w-ater but there's no other w-way around it he-he

He said looking at the Raptor who seem to have a surprise look on his face, but he let out sigh. It can't be helped but then he thought maybe he can help him out a bit.

Yoshster: Seasickness you say? Don't worry about that, I think I can help you with that. But I don't know if your body is able to take it...

Guntz: Huh w-what are you talking about? If it h-helps me make m-me not feel this then l-lets try it.

With that the Raptor puts out a little bottle full of pills from his pocket.

Yoshster: Here I got some medicine, It should help you but it can also put you to sleep though out the ride.

Guntz: Actually it doesn't sound bad. As long as I'm not puking all the way I don't want to lose my appetite. Especially when I ate good food.

Yoshster: Okay let's get to this boat that you were talking about, than I'll give you the medicine. I don't want you to falling asleep on me yet Ha ha ha!

He said jokingly than Guntz just give him an amuse look than he slowly makes his way to a boat that seems to be a little cruise boat and there was a big frog like Creature that looked at them

Gomeroth: Well I'll be! look who it is! It's none other the champion of the tournament, and who is this now? Look like you got a friend here too.

The frog smiles looking down on Guntz who seem to look bac at him.

Guntz: Hey Gomeroth I-i see you'll be the one taking o-others across this times do you have any room for t-two?

The frog like creature nods happily.

Gomeroth: Of course. You're actually in luck not much people are going across lately since there been monster hanging around but I doubt it will come and attack us as we leave the town. But I managed to find its pattern it usually comes out when there's a full moon so we are good because tonight there's no moon.

Guntz nods his head. He slowly starting to feel more of the sickness be luckily Yoshster helped pay for the ride across. After getting on the boat, it takes off with the three of them. Yoshster helps Guntz relax in a spare room where there were two beds and a bookshelf, all seems to reconnected to the walls of the boat

Yoshster: Okay here. Just take it easy now, and we should be there in the morning so have a good night rest.

He said as Guntz takes the medicine and thanks Yoshster for the help, than starts to lay down on a bed. At first it didn't do much but after some warm pats and gentle strokes on him back made the Wolf fall asleep.

When Guntz was resting calmly, Yoshster could see how much the medicine has helped, which he smiles about.

Yoshster:-Heh who would've thought the golden killer could sleep soundly, at least he wont be miserable as we cruise. I should get some rest myself, it's been a long day.-

With the removal of his jacket, he got into his own bed and began to drift off. As it was the beginning of the cool night and the waves were swaying, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary or monsters not appearing at all. It all seemed sound, until the raptor seemed to be in some sort of pain, groaning, even gripping at the sheets, causing them to tare. He seemed to be mumbling to himself.

Yoshster: Urf! Grr,N,no!

The sounds made the wolf's ears flick as he wakes from his deepen sleep, he didn't feel the effects of sea sickness. But he was confused on what was going on.

Guntz: What the hell is going on? How long have I been out for? Hm, Yoshster?

He could see the stress and how much those claws were shredding. This made the wolf concerned, in fact he could see him shuffling and what almost could be described as panic. Yet before he could even do anything, the raptor wakes up in a cold sweat, breathing heavy, and what looked to be blood soaked tears coming from his eyes. This sight shocked Guntz, yet didn't want the raptor to see if he was awake. Thus he layed where he was, pretending to sleep, while also keeping his ears open.

Yoshster: Why,,why did I dream that?! Just what the hell did I witnessed?!

The raptor turned to looked over, he sees Guntz hasn't moved but could see him breathing soundly. The raptor sighed and got up. Left his jacket and went out to get some fresh air. Once out, Guntz wanted to know just what that was about, thus he got out of bed and fallowed after.

Yoshster: The night, it sure is peaceful. Just what I needed, after whatever the hell that dream was about. It's not like any i've had before. But why them?

Little did Yoshster know, Guntz was able to keep out of sight by hiding behind the barrels, listening in on what was on the raptor's mind.

Guntz: -Alright you green croc, just what the hell are you up to?-

Yoshster: Why my team,,DeathWing,,,Darien,,,what could have drawn me to think those would happen to you? It just dosn't make any sense...Being glitched, being courrupted, what does it mean? And I,,,why did I?

He looks at the water, seeing his reflection who stared back, but with the blood soaked eyes. Guntz could tell how much pain and burden the raptor seemed to be carrying, as well as letting on that he had more then what he led on. And it made him feel rather sorry for how much it's putting on the raptor.

Guntz: -Damn,,the poor lizard sure sounds like he's had a lot to carry. Just like mine almost. And that he has a team? Now that I didn't think of asking. Well theres not much I can do for him now. Maybe when he's in a clear state of mind, perhaps he can tell me what's gotten him so shaken up.-

He did get a glimps of the raptor wiping away the blood from his eyes, and even sees a small of Yoshster going from normal eyes, to black with red dots, back to normal. This caught him off guard, but was careful as to not alert the raptor. He carefully heads back to the room, but couldnt stop thinking of what he just witnessed.

Guntz: -Just what the hell is he?! Now I have many more questions that are adding to this! Shit now i'm gonna need to be much more cautious about him!-

When he gets to the room and to his bed, the thoughts continued, on what he seen, and what he's heard. It didnt make any sense, the raptor was an ally and friend, and yet kept something like that from him.

Guntz: It dosnt make sense, he's never tried to harm me, and has even helped me out. Yet why does that sight, why does it remind me of something, , ,sinister. Like someone who wouldn't think twice and, , ,back stab. Urg! Keep it together! If he does start acting up, i'll be sure to be ready. And if he does turn,,well then, I hope it won't have to come to that.

He looked over at jacket, and then his weapon. He kept it close to him, just incase. When the raptor returned, Guntz pretended to be asleep, yet heard Yoshster speak.

Yoshster: The thing I'll regret is losing someone close to me. Even those whom i've grown fond of. I don't want to hurt them, nor will I. My will is stronger then whatever the fuck that was about. If my team can break through anything, than so can I

The raptor went to his bed and went back to sleep.

This time Guntz didn't know what to think, but from how the raptor sounded, it sounded like he was giving himself a pep talk. The wolf decided to get back to sleep, they were heading to shore tomorrow.

End.
