Chapter 7: The rise of Ky Stax
Seven months ago…
The moment Ky felt to the waterfall, he landed on the river but the hit knocked him out and the movement of it made him float away so that was the reason why neither Maya or Boomer could find him that day, Ky had floated to the edge of a cave where somebody who wasn't human found him and dragged him to a cave and once inside Ky recovered the conscience and he discovered that he was inside a cave.
-"Ow…my head, where am I?" Ky asked and then he heard a heavy voice behind him.
-"You're safe." The creature that dragged him into the cave responded and Ky got scared.
-"WHOA! What are you!?" Ky asked amazed.
-"The one who saved your life." The creature said.
-"What happened?" Ky asked.
-"I've found you unconscious in the river and brought you here." The creature responded.
-"Well…thanks but I better get back to my team and…" Ky said but then he realized that his X-reader was gone.
-"Where's my X-reader? I must have lost it when I fall from the waterfall." Ky thought.
-"Can you help me to find my team?" Ky asked.
-"No, I can't." The creature said.
-"What? Why not?" Ky asked confused.
-"Your friends think that you're death…it'll be better if they still think so." The creature said.
-"Why would that be better?" Ky asked.
-"Because I've been watching you for a long time and I could notice that your enemies attack your friends in order to destroy you, if they think that you're gone then your friends will be safe as well." The creature said and Ky wanted to respond but he thought about what the creature said and it was true, many enemies like Zane, Diara or the Hiverax are always trying to hurt Maya or Boomer so if his enemies think that he's dead, his friends will be safe for the moment.
-"You're right…but what do I do now?" Ky asked.
-"I can train you, to protect them even when they won't notice you're there, I can train you to become a hunter." The creature said and Ky thought about it…it didn't sound so bad.
-"All right, let's do this." Ky said.
Days later the creature had taught Ky the basic movements of a hunter's hand to hand combat, he proved to be good at it but later he had troubles with the art of stealth because he always was a warrior that fight head to head. With the days passing Ky had finally master all the arts of the hunter, now he had to learn how to use a hunter's arsenal.
The creature name's was soon revealed to be known as Blade because of its unique alien teethes and skills, Then Blade gave Ky the Speargun.
-"This is the Speargun, most of the hunters of my planet and including me used this for a more efficient shot, it can hold 17 spears of 10 meters and it can make somebody's head blow up or make him to be stabbed in the wall." Blade explained.
-"Wow…and this thing is supposed to be legal in your planet?" Ky asked joking.
-"Is that an Earth joke?" Blade asked.
-"Yep." Ky said.
-"Not funny." Blade said.
-"I know." Ky said.
After Ky trained with the speargun, he trained throwing with the fire bombs, pulse bombs and the sonic traps.
He learned how to use the plasmacaster, the combistick and the wristblades.
Three months later Ky had finally mastered every lesson about being a hunter in the hand to hand combat, the gadgets, the weapons and the different vision of a the hunter mask both of them the red one and the grey one.
-"Now that you've learned the combat skills, weapons and technology of the hunters. You must learn the code of honor of the hunters." Blade said.
-"Code of honor?" Ky asked.
-"The code says that you only must hunt those who are powerful enough to be considerate a worthy opponent or anyone who's to be considerate dangerous and if you defeat it, it'll be a honorable kill but…you'll never kill your friends or kids or any women that's has a newborn inside…and most importantly you'll never kill innocent people or it'll be a dishonorable kill." Blade explained.
-"Understood." Ky said.
As time passed, Blade had passed out because he was on his final hours of life so Ky was devastated for the loss of a friend but he will always remember him as the master who taught him the art of the hunt, decided to become the ultimate hunter Ky had armored up himself with his weapons and gadgets and he putted the grey mask on his face ready to hunt down his first prey.
Ky Stax got the chance to demonstrate his abilities when he went to the city and found the plan of a crime boss who was planning to unleash a gang war in the middle of a normal day; Ky had cloaked himself and followed him into a church but he stopped when he realized that there was a guard with a machine gun guarding the door.
-"Okay…remember your training, be stealthy and plan out your tactics." Ky remembered and he distracted the guard with the voice playback of the mask.
-"What you're looking at pussy-face?"
-"What the…"The guard said but then he got stabbed by a combistick from behind.
-"Now let's find that guy." Ky said and he entered the church where the crime boss was waiting for him holding an axe.
-"Who do you think you are to come in here? It doesn't matter, I'm the boss of this city, you stupid ghost!" The boss said and Ky de-cloaked himself and used his wristblades to fight the crime lord.
Ky had remembered everything that Blade had taught him in order to succeed in this hunt, he fought with both of his skills the fighting style of the hunter and the fighting style of a kairu warrior.
Finally Ky was victorious against the crime boss who was kneeled on the ground because of the beating he received from Ky.
-"Normally, I would've told Blade that I wasn't so comfortable about the trophies theory of his…but that's about to change." Ky said and he used his wristblades to rip off the boss skull and spine, collecting his first trophy.
That same moment Ky was about to leave until he felt that someone was behind him, when he turned around he saw the wife of the boss glaring at him since she saw that Ky' was holding her husband's skull and spine.
-"You think that makes you the boss now?" The boss' wife said and she reached for her gun and shot Ky in the right of his stomach and then she shot him in the face but the mask stopped the impact but at the cost for it to be broken revealing Ky's left blue eye behind the mask.
-"My God…you're just a kid…" The boss' wife said and Ky took of his rock-like mask and threw it at the woman's face and knocked her out, then he found a kairu relic next to him and he took it by impulse and escape the church where everything began.
That's what happened to the leader of team Stax from his fall as a kairu warrior and his rise as a hunter.
Present day
Ky was tied up to a test wall where he woke up and he had injuries all over his chest, he could die over there…or maybe not?
