Chapter 2
SILVER HELL
"SHOOT IT! NOW!"
Lokir shouted to Tora, who's taking position on the top of a rock. His heavy bowgun, the "Queen Howitzer", is customized under the hand of Lokir himself. Beside the normal barrel , a tube was attached. Inside is a capsule-shaped bullet, containing certain subtances. Tora pull the small trigger on the tube, and the capsule shoot directly to the silver beast's face . The Rathalos's body was covered by the yellow subtances that splashed out when the capsule explode. The monster goes into a seizuring, paralyzed state in the next second
"HALLELUJAH! Those Vespoid and Bnabhara stuff worked!"Tora shouted out victoriously
" Take it down!" Lokir said as he and Grime runs up toward the silver beast, weapons ready"
They began slashing at the monster's body
" Good call back there, getting the beast away from the outpost" Grime said as his dual blades, the "Insect Slicer", glowing red with the demon aura and the blood.
"Yeah, for their family's safety needs to be secured" Lokki answered while he is slashing the Rathalos in the legs with his longsword, Guan Dao.
The beast shakes free, blowing the two hunters back. The Rathalos turn to face Tora, surprising him and shoot a fireball at him. Tora fall back behind the rock, he can even feel the heat from the blast as it goes past him. Grime attemp to slash at the Rathalos's tail and failed as the tail bashed him back. Lokir made his way up on a tree, right on top of the Rathalos. He jumped down, pointing the sword's end downward and about to pierce the monster's skull. The Silver Rathalos seems to sense the danger, avoiding the "death from above" in the nick of time. Lokir tumbled down on the ground, looking up just to see the fireblast shooting out at him. BOOOOM! Lokir was sent flying, his eyes start to get blurry. He feel the blast booming at the armor he's wearing, pieces of it was blown out for sure, and the impact shakes every chest bone he has. The fire is burning bits of his cloak, a Great Wroggy Hide-made cloak,and the armor also. Then he felt water splashing up his face, he landed on a small shallow pond and extinguished the fire on him
Lokir tried to stand up, watching as the beast try to bite Grime down in failure attemps. As he tries to reach his sword, his eyes gets almost picth black and his body feels like falling apart.
" Oh f***ing hell…"
Picth black
….
….
…" He's waking up"….
.."Lokir? Do you hear me, buddy?"
"Yes, loud and not that clear" Lokir answered slow and weakly
"Can you stand" Tora asked. He's holding some potion and bandages on his hand.
"Maybe..Ugh…. Yup, I can stand" Lokir said as he stand up and walk toward his comrades .
"Good, 'cause you need to see this" Grime said ,signalling Lokir to come over. The sight war horrible. The corpse of a Gold Rathian, shining golden aura in the night.
"What the…?! Well, we know what happened to those missing hunters now" Lokir said turning his back on the body " Those hunters took down the Gold Moon, and was surprised by that Silver Sunny boy. If I'm right, some armor or weapons scrap should be near"
"We figured that much" Tora said, putting the bottles in his pack
" That Rathalos actually hold a grudge agains hunters, huh" Lokir said
"Okay, that's crazy. Monster having emotions like human? Bulls***!" Grime disagree
" Look, that Rathalos attacked every hunters that enter the place, that why we are sent here" Lokir stated " He followed us since we enter the jungle, and waited for the moment we let our guard down to attack"
"That thing sure is smart" Tora said
"Fine, now what?"
Lokir, confused in the moment with the sittuation, gave his casual order:
" Go back to the outpost and hold down there, I surpose"
The trio made their way back. Liutenant Landers open the doors to greet the hunters. Just as he step down to the ground, a blast of fire came down where he's standing. Afterwards, only smokes and a burning apron remained in sight. All three hunters were shocked, it happened so fast that they cant even do anything.
"NOOOOO! LANDERS!" Lokir shouted
"SONOFAB****!" Tora cursed out loud
" His wife and son, I'll go get them"Lokir tell his friends
"Go, we'll cover you" Grime said
Lokir break down the backdoo and see Sanders's wife, Diana with her son, hiding under the table.
"Come on, lets get out of here!" Lokir said to them
Right after they get into cover behind the rocks, the boy asked " Mom, where's dad?"
Diana couldn't answer her son, tears began to stream down her cheeks. The boy is quite smart for his age, understanding everything just as he sees his mother's expression.
"No….No..NOOOOO!" He struggle out of his mother's hands, running straigh out to the field. Diana panicked and ran behind him
"HEY! Damnit!" Lokir said as he chase them
The boy stop next to his father, lying on the field and cried out loud. He's unaware of a blast of fire coming his way. Diana pushed her son out of the way in time, but cant save herself from the blast.
"Oh god….."Lokir mumbled as the sight before him goes on. A child, parentless, crying in the middle of the flaming field. His friends shouting and fighting the silver demon. Smokes and ruins. Deafening roars. Hell. Hell with silver colour.
