A roar shook the tunnel as Glenn dove behind a pile of rocks, hiding as Ceadous rampaged past him, its horn tearing into the wall of the tunnel looking for him. "Why did I do this" he thought fearfully as Ceadous turned its working covered eye to his position.
Glenn narrowed his eyes as he noticed a few wisps of blood entering the monster nose, his eyes widening as he glanced at his leg. "Fuck" he voiced as Ceadous lunged, Glenn leaping from his cover to dodge the hulking legend.
As he swam away, Ceadous crashed into the pile of rocks, reducing them to dust as it snapped its head towards the escaping blonde. As it turned to chase after him, Sean and Junko swam around the corner, Junko aiming her sniper towards the leaving monster.
Only to miss her shot as the bullet exploded against the wall behind it, Ceadous disappearing around the next corner as the pinkette growled at her miss. Sean shook his head, swimming after the beast as he hope to at least close the distance between them and Ceadous.
Preferably before it killed Glenn.
Glenn screamed as he dragged himself through the next hole in the water logged tunnel, finding himself inside a large underwater temple, smaller than the one he had fought Ceadous inside the first time.
Looking back, the blonde screamed in fright as Ceadous charged through the hole, rocks and boulder being ripped apart as it tried to chomp down on the scared blonde. Using his good leg to kick himself backwards, Glenn swung his blade out of its sheath, the thunderclap slashing down the monster face as sparks exploded against it jagged jaw.
With a roar of pain Ceadous thrash around in pain, its tail smacking the side of the coliseum as the roof of the temple cracked. Behind the beast, Sean kicked his legs harder, his blade in hand as he closed the distance between him and Ceadous.
With a roar of his own, Sean swung his blade down on the thrashing beast, his sword crushing the ivory scales on its back as Ceadous cried out in agony. Ripping his blade free, Sean went to slash at it again, only to be smacked aside by its large tail.
Glenn didn't need to think as he started putting distance between him and Ceadous, Sean giving him the chance to reach the coliseum wall as he dove behind a pillar. All seemed to go quiet as Ceadous turned its head forwards, it working eye narrowing in frustration as it lost sight of its prey.
Slowly, the beast started to swim forward, its nose sniffing the air as it started to circle the small temple. Glenn winced as he felt his leg bleeding again, his eyes widening as he saw the wisps of blood rising through the water.
His eyes widened further in fear as he felt something large breathing down his neck, the wisps of his blood being sniffed up into the jagged jaw of the beats hinting him. With a roar, Ceadous threw its head forward, destroying the pillar and sending Glenn flying into the next tunnel.
Behind the beast Junko and reached Sean, helping him out of the pile rocks that had partially buried him. Turning towards Ceadous, they watched as it destroyed a section of the coliseum in its rage pushing itself through the hole it was trying to create as it roared once again.
Firing round after round into the back of the monster head, Junko yelled in frustration as Ceadous ignored each of her shots, only pushing its body further through the temple wall.
Glenn screamed as he almost lost his foot, Ceadous' jaw clamping down on the water as it pushed itself forward, trying with everything it had to devour the blonde just inches away from it. Pushing himself backwards, Glenn tried to find some way to escape, only to come up with nothing as the destroyed coliseum had trapped him and Ceadous was currently in the way of the exit.
Pressing further against the wall, Glenn gripped his thunderclap tightly as Ceadous pushed itself forward, constantly chomping in front of him as it inched closer. With nothing to lose, Glenn reared his blade back, the tip pointed forward as Ceadous jerked forward again.
With a watery scream the blonde stabbed his blade forward, the Katana's tip slicing through the slightly covered eye of the great beast as Ceadous roared in agony at losing its sight. Ceadous forcefully pulled it head out of the destroyed tunnel, dragging Glenn with it as his hand had went to release the blade stabbed into the monsters eye.
Junko and Sean stared in disbelief as Ceadous whipped its head from side to side, Glenn hanging on with everything he had as his blade started to tear further into Ceadous' eye socket, only making the pain worse for the monster.
With a final roar, Ceadous threw its head back finally ripping the thunderclap out of its eye and Sending Glenn crashing into a pile of rocks that once made up a section of the coliseum wall. Junko ignored the thrashing monster as she swam towards Glenn, sheathing her sniper as she saw him struggling to pull himself out of the rocks.
Glenn vision was blurry, his leg going numb from the pain as wisps of blood continued to escape the now opened wound. A blurry blue thing appeared in front of his face, accompanied by some large a pink behind it as the blue thing moved forward.
As he focused on the blue thing, Glenn could just make out the hand being presented to him as he reached up to grasp it. As he did, he was pulled out of the rocks he was laying on, reviling a large cut going down his back as the rocks had sliced through his skin.
Shaking his head, Glenn finally cleared his vision to see Junko standing in front of him, her expression showing how worried she was right now. Looking away from the pinkette, Glenn narrowed his eyes as he just spotted Sean swimming towards a thrashing Ceadous, the beast smashing it head and tail against the walls of the destroyed temple, shaking it further in its agony.
Sean rolled under the swinging fin of the beast, dragging his blade through the air as the large sword cut through the large beast's furred chest, blood spraying through the water as the beast roared louder.
Another roar came from the beast as a beam of water exploded form its jaw, crashing directly into the ceiling of the temple, making more of the large tunnel collapse around them. Larger boulder started to fall, piling around them as Glenn panicked.
If the temple collapsed Ceadous would be killed...but so would they. "We need to run!" Glenn yelled, his voice just being heard by Junko as she nodded, pushing both herself and Glenn out of the way of a falling piece of the ceiling.
Junko looked towards a section of the temple built into the wall, her eyes narrowing as she spotted the small tunnel that would lead them towards the water temple at the end of the tunnels. Quickly grabbing Glenn, Junko started to swim, ignoring Glenn protest of trying to swim himself.
Behind them, Sean just avoided being crushed by a boulder, Ceadous roaring as it continued to destroy more of the ceiling in an attempt to kill the three hunters. Sheathing his blade, Sean swam as fast as he could, just catching sight of Junko dragging Glenn through the tunnel that lead towards the larger temple.
Pushing his limbs harder, Sean could hear Ceadous thrashing behind him, the doubler crashing against its cracked ivory scales as its tail was pinned to the ground by a large piece of the ceiling. Swimming around a falling piece of the coliseum, Sean dove towards the entrance of the tunnel, turning his head to watch as Ceadous was fully buried under the destroyed ceiling, more boulders falling onto the pile that had now trapped the legendary monster.
As he fell into the tunnel, a large boulder fell, sealing the entrance as the Lagiacrus armoured teen breathed heavily as he started after the other two, his mind turning to the fact Glenn had followed them when he told him not to.
He was going to beat some sense into that blonde, if Junko hadn't already.
"That was the stupidest, most idiotic, horrendous, terrifyingly dumb thing I have ever seen, what the fuck were you thinking!" Junko's voice screamed as Sean pulled himself out of the water. HE stood, staring as Junko glared down at the teen, bleeding heavily on the ground.
"Ugh...cracked beak help" Glenn whimpered as the pinkette continued to yell at him for the next ten minutes. Sean had to write down some of the stuff she said, it was pretty creative, as well as disturbing.
"Do you have any idea how worried I was, you could have died, why would you do that!" Junko asked, falling to her knees as she started to beat Glenn's chest in frustration. "So could you, both of you could have died if I didn't help!" Glenn countered as Sean rubbed his face plate.
He was right after all.
"Just, just never do it again" Junko mumbled as she held the blonde tightly. Glenn could only lightly pat her back in reassurance, looking towards Sean for help as the blue armoured teen shrugged. He didn't know how to handle this either, there was no other girl lie Junko out there, how the hell could you handle someone who flipped through different personalities in the middle of a sentence?
"Let's just go home" Sean mumbled until all three of them heard a roar echoing form the sky. Sean unsheathed his blade as a Rathalos landed in front of them, staring directly at Glenn. "Hay cracked beak" Glenn waved as the bird like dragon titled its head to the side.
Sean could only stare in disbelief as the red monster nodded to Glenn, lowering its wing to let the blonde get onto its back. "I don't care anymore, can we just go home" Sean said, throwing his hands into the air as he gave up trying to understand the shit that goes on around that blonde.
"Who's a cute Rathalos" Junko cooed as she stroked the dragon cracked beak. "Everyone is crazy!" he yelled as Glenn laughed painfully, he was still bleeding out here!
Hours later, A roar of a Rathalos frightened the villagers of Moga village. The chief and his son were already making their way towards the entrance to the forest, watching as the great red dragon started to descend towards them. They could only look on as all of the hunter stationed in their village were away fighting the Ceadous.
Only to stare in disbelief as the beats landed, Sean leaping down from its neck as he turned to pat the monster on its cracked beak. "Oi, we have wounded!" he yelled as the beast lowered it wing, allowing a wounded Glenn and Junko to disembark from its back.
The chief's son was already on the move, helping Junko lift Glenn off the ground as Sean took over for the female hunter."Is it done, is our village safe?" the elder asked as he approached Junko, the girl lightly petting the Rathalos as she glanced at him.
"Yes, if it wasn't for Glenn Ceadous would have destroyed the village" Junko replied with a smile as the Rathalos snorted. "And this guy too" she added as the elder chuckled softly. "I have been around for many years, but to see a Rathalos so calm is something I didn't think I would ever witness" he voiced as Junko nodded.
"There's something about Glenn that just makes the hunts so weird" she explained as the Rathalos turned away from her, marching back towards the forest as she watched it leave. "The guild will want to know about Ceadous' defeat" she said as the elder nodded.
"I will have a messenger hawk ready for your message, but I believe we have a part to attend first!" she laughed cheerfully, the weight of the legendary monster attack lifting form his shoulders as he started back towards the village.
Glenn once again found himself in the bed of his shared hut with Sean and Junko, Lisara having finished applying new bandages to his wounds as she left to join the party and get him some food. With a sigh the blonde relaxed into the bed, wondering what would happen next.
And if that little shakalaka would leave him alone, the little bastard would not stop taunting him about getting injured. He was going to throw Cha-Cha into a volcano if he kept it up. As his thoughts of murdering the little bastard left him, Glenn started to fall asleep to the sounds of the music outside.
As he drifted off, Glenn didn't notice Junko watching him, her hand grasping the plate of food she wanted to bring him. But seeing him finally asleep after everything he had gone through in the last few days, she could only smile as she silently walked into the room.
Placing the plate on the table, Junko took her seat beside the bed, her now un-armoured hand stroking his golden locks as she watched him sleep. "Maybe tomorrow I'll tell you" she whispered, leaning her head on his arm as she drifted off to sleep as well.
High in the mountain, a pair of glowing eyes cracked open, followed by a horrific jagged grin. The huge hulking creature slowly rose from its sleeping position inside its lava next, staring up into the smoke filled sky as it slowly outstretched its tatter wings.
One of its brethren had been defeated...and by that little human too.
Things were going to get interesting in the coming days.
