Chapter 2: Diablos! The Desert's Devil!

NOTE: I apologize on how short that last chapter was. Hold on to your hats folks! This'll be a long one!

We continue the tale with our brave quartet leaving the comfort and safety of the Oasis to go into the Desert to Battle and Capture the mighty Diablos. Their first task, however, is to regroup with their gunner, Bo. 20 minutes pass until the group finds him. He is a agile man sporting his Barioth Armor and Blizzard Cannon. Drack decides to spook the Gunner.

"BOO!" shouts Drack. Startled, the Gunner turns around and shoots Drack, point blank in the foot. Sam falls to the ground laughing hysterically. Luckily the round in Bo's Magazine was only a paint round.

"YAAAAA! Dammit Bo!"

"Shit, Drack! Don't Freaking Startle me like that!" replied the annoyed Bo.

"HAHAHAHAHA Nice Shot, Bo!" yells Sam.

Maxwell then steps in "Enough! Sorry about that Bo."

"No worries" The Gunner Replies.

Drack shoots up, "WHAAA?! He SHOT me! And you're apologizing to him?!"

"Well yeah..." answers the young leader "you were asking for it. And lighten up, it was pretty funny!"

Drack then cleaned the paint off of his armor while muttering curse words.

"So Bo. Any status on our target?" asked Maxwell.

The Gunner replies, "Eh, not too much… I will say though, were pretty close to it. I mean were in its territory right now."

"Excellent, so it wont be too long—"

The Ground begins to shake. And a strong presence can be felt. The whole team unsheathes their weapons. The Diablos draws near.

"Alright guys, Get Ready!" commanded Max.

The Rookie then asks Maxwell "Sir, I've never seen a Diablos. How big of a monster is it?"

"Oh, you're about to find out!" replied the Long sword Wielder. "Bo! You got the paint rounds ready?"

"Yeah! Were good!" replied the gunner.

"Alright then, ready or not guys, Here it comes!"

WOOSH! Out of the sand jumps out the Mighty Diablos. The giant 25- foot Wyvern stood with two powerful legs, giant wings and two massive horns strong enough to break through giant boulders! The beast was certainly angry at the hunters for trespassing his territory and was prepared to kill the trespassers.

"You think it's upset?" Sam sarcastically asks Bo.

The Diablos unleashes a Powerful Roar!

"Oh yeah! Without a doubt!" Bo replies.

The hunters cover their ears from the deafening Roar. Maxwell Stands with his Long sword in one hand with unbreakable Confidence

"Alright Hunters! Stand your Ground! Were gonna bring this Motherfucker back to Akadeon with us!"

Bo fires a paint round at the Diablos to keep track of it, and the other four hunters charge to strike the Diablos down! The Battle Has Begun.

Maxwell and the Rookie attack the Diablos on the right side, and Drack and Sam strike the Diablos from the left, while Bo shoots the Diablos with both Ice and explosive rounds. The Diablos then makes a giant sweep with his horns and sweeps the Rookie and Drack off of their feet. Drack lands on the ground hard and the rookie lands on top of him.

"OOOMPH!"

"I'm sorry Drack!" says the blushing newbie.

"Don't worry princess, just GET OFF OF ME!" Drack yells.

The rookie jumps off of Drack, picks up her Hypno Knife and returns to the fight!

The Diablos attempts to attack Sam but she blocks the attacks with her shield, and strikes the Diablo again with her Shadow Javelin.

"Sam!" yells Maxwell, "Be careful with the venom in your lance, we need it alive!"

"Right, Sorry!" she replies.

The Diablos then ends its focus on Sam and stares Maxwell down. Maxwell accepts the challenge and his Blade is engulfed in a Flame.

"Ohoho, Bring it on, you son of a bitch! I'm gonna kick your ass!"

The Diablos then charges at the Lone Hunter and prepares to impale him with his two horns. Maxwell then jumps in the air, at the perfect moment and lands on top of the giant Diablos and unleashes a Spirit Combo on the Diablo's Back.

The Diablos screams in agony and pain and attempts to shake Maxwell off of his back but to no avail. The Brave Hunter would not fall. He kept attacking the Diablos and then the monster finally threw Maxwell off of its back and the hunter lands on his feet. The Diablos then decides to make a desperate move and burrows underground.

Maxwell then yells to his teammates, "Guys It's Wounded! Throw the Sonic Bomb!"

Drack pulls out a Sonic Bomb, throws it and yells "Cover your Ears!"

SCREECH! The Diablos jumps out of the ground in pain from the sharp screech of the sonic bomb.

"Rookie, Ready The Trap!" Rookie prepares a pitfall trap, and Bo loads a magazine of tranquilizer rounds.

The Diablos recovers from the sonic bomb and is in frenzy! The hunters run behind the trap as the Diablos prepares to perform a killer charge. He runs toward the hunters. 30 feet…..20 feet….10 feet….. SNAP! The Diablos falls into the pitfall and is struggling to free itself.

"Now, BO!"

"I got it!" Bo fires an entire magazine of Tranquilizer rounds into the Diablos' system and knocks out the Diablos. The hunters relax, sheathe their weapons, and yell their Victory Cries!

"Nice Job, Team! Mission Accomplished!" cheered the proud Leader. "Now for the hard part… Carting this bastard back to the base!"

Drack whines "God! This is why I hate Capturing Monsters"

Maxwell then says "Quit whining! The sooner we do this, the sooner we get back to the city."

"Oh yeah I bet you wanna go back and see your precious Anne!" Drack Cleverly snaps back.

"Who's Anne?" the Rookie asks.

Sam then adds in "Oh just Maxwell's Romantic interest for the past few years."

Maxwell then yells while hiding a blush "SHUT IT! We'll talk about that later! Just help me out with the Freakin' Diablos!"

"Alright!" replies Sam. "Sheesh Casanova…"
