Joseph rested on Daimyo's back "Looks like there's nothing to do today, huh?" He thought aloud, Daimyo not moving in agreement.
This nothing was interrupted by the plot. A Deviljho tore through Port Tanzia, roaring loudly.
"What."
The port was in a state of sudden chaos. Daimyo made his way down, to find the others equally confused.
"So ya got any idea what's going on?" Joseph asked.
"Not really," Zach answered "This just sorta started happening."
"Maybe it'll miss us?" Joseph joked, watching it cause a trail of destruction quite a distance away, before starting to move toward them "Never mind, then."
Everyone then attempted to escape as the Deviljho charged through where they once were. Still attempting to destroy whatever it could find, the Deviljho charged towards what was nearest, by coincidence Joseph and Daimyo.
Daimyo dug into the ground, Joseph still on his back. The Deviljho then lost focus on this and began to look around frantically, before seeing two wyverns flying away and chasing after them.
Sean and Alicia rested on the backs of their wyverns, trying to get out of Tanzia as fast as possible. The Deviljho charged at them, leaping through the air. Both wyverns moved to fly around it. The Deviljho crashed into the ground a short distance away, the ones being chased now heading in the direction the other group was to evade it. The Deviljho then leapt back up and started yet another charge.
The others tried to escape while it was away, but were unsuccessful when it came straight back towards them. Sean figured that he wouldn't be able to escape it easily, so he figured he'd have to distract it before he could get to the ocean.
The Deviljho roared, now in an arena with the cast. Sean began to shoot at it while Azure took into the air, attempting to keep his distance.
Ben didn't really have an idea what was going on other than there being a monster to kill in front of them, so he went to go do that with Plessy right behind him. Ben slashed at its side, only to find that his attack made barely any effect. The Deviljho turned, only to be hipchecked in the face by Plessy.
In this opening Anthony sprung off Wave's back, attempting to stun it by bashing it on the head. For a few seconds at least the monster was dazed, giving Wave enough time to wrap himself around it and electrify the Deviljho. He dropped to the ground and backed off, as the Deviljho still seemed unaffected.
Before the Deviljho got a chance to attack Riko moved in to strike it as hard as he could, followed by Alexandra charging at it from the other side. Sanchez ran along its side, with Callum standing on his back and slashing at it wildly.
Daimyo shot a beam of pressurised water straight at the Deviljho, while Joseph fired a rain of arrows from atop his partners skull.
Zappy then charged in and launched Zach into the air, where he plunged his gunlance into the Deviljho's neck and used a wyvern's fire, which in theory should've killed the Deviljho.
As he fell to the ground he was caught again and waited for his gunlance to cool off, only to turn around and find the Deviljho still standing, perfectly fine. The hunters charged in again, trying desperately to finish it off before it could do anything.
After a few minutes and what should've been many deaths, they found the Deviljho still refused to go down. In the opening it now had to attack, the monster stomped its foot, causing most of the group to be stopped. It then swung its head around for a dragon breath, knocking everyone unable to block backwards.
It didn't stop there, charging straight for Sean and Azure. This was narrowly missed, but it then spun around and leapt into the air towards them, hitting Azure out of the air this time.
Joseph looked up and noticed someone standing where the Deviljho was going to crash. He got Daimyo's attention quickly and the crab jumped at them, before knocking them out of the way with a sort of light punch, before then jumping in the same direction to avoid the impact.
Azure landed nearby, the Deviljho quickly turning to face him.
Alicia attempted to rush at it, only to have her Rathian swept aside by the Deviljho's tail.
In spite of its usual nature, the Deviljho seemed unable to be distracted by anything. It remained focused on Sean, above all else.
It closed on him, before pausing and opening its mouth. A noise emitted which no one expected.
"Time for revenge…"
Everyone was stunned into silence until Ben finally yelled "DID THAT DAMN DEVILJHO JUST SAY WORDS!?"
Daimyo crashed into the ground a short distance away, the person he punched to safety landing nearby.
"Ya reckon they good?" He asked Daimyo, receiving the reply of a shrug. They waited until they saw movement, then turned to go back to the fight, when Joseph suddenly heard the sound of a gun being fired from behind him.
