Hunt 31: The Rescue Pt. 2

The Tigrexes land on an open area. "Is this where the entrance is?" Sky asks as everyone got off. One of the Tigrexes walks over to a wall and slams its right claw onto the wall and snow fall down to reveal a hidden entrance. "Thank you very much." Kristia said petting one of the Tigrexes. The Tigrexes leave and the gang walks over to the door. "So how do you suppose we open it?" Rocks asks. "Like this." Raylin said. Everyone looks back towards Raylin seeing her charging her bowgun.

Everyone quickly moves out of the way right before Raylin's wyvern fire shot exploded the door open. "There's your answer." Kana said. They all run into the cave. As they run, they encounter underground hunters and they attack. "Move it!" Haben said. "We don't have time for weaklings!" Tre said. As the group continue running, a large group of underground hunters come from behind them. Raylin turns around with her bowgun ready to fire.

"Don't get in the way between me and the ONE I LOVE!" She said as she fires a large blast that spreads throughout the entire hallway. Everyone turns around to see what just happened. "So she loves him too." Kana said in her head. "What shot was that?" Angel asks. "I combined a spread shot with wyvern fire to do that." Raylin said as she loads her bowgun. "We need to hurry." Myst said. They all nod and continue running.

They come to a split in the hallway. "There's 5 paths, which way do we go?" Taylor asks. "I'll head down this one." Kristia said going towards the one second from the left. "We'll go through this one." Calvis said pointing to the far right. "We'll head down this one." Kana said heading towards the middle. "We'll go through this then." Ave said going to the second from the right. "Then that leaves us with this." Lyra said looking to the far left path. They all look at each other and nodded before running down their paths.

The Creators' Path

"Let's hope he's ok." Rocks said as his group runs. "He will." Ave said. "This is our Twin Flame of Silver and Gold we're talking about." Tre said. "Yeah, Tre's right for once." Myst said.

Scarlet Flames' Path

"We need to find him quickly." Calvis said. "Your worrying about him a bit too much now." Haben said. "It's because of us that Zedept turned out the way he did." Sky said.

Kristia's Path

"I need to find their information room." Kristia said. "If I can find it, I might be able to help Zedept and Xross Blades better and even the Guild Alliance." She said as she snuck around some underground hunters.

Kana's Group's Path

"Hang on Zedept, I'm coming to help you." Kana said. "We know that you love him but don't strain yourself." Angel said. "She's right you know." Angel said. "Shut it, I know that." Kana said as they continue being attack from underground hunters.

Xross Blades' Path

"They don't stop coming." Link said as he slashed a few underground hunters. "We need to get through now!" Raylin said as she blast some herself. "Out of my way!" Lyra said as she knocked some out.

Holding Cell

Zedept wakes up to the ruckus that everyone is making. "What's…. going…. on…. out….. there?" He ask himself weakly. "….dept." a distant voice said. "Who's there?" He asks. "Zede…." The voice said becoming a bit clearer. "Is someone calling me?" He asks as he closes his eyes. "Zedept!" Many voices said with a mix of male and female. "I know those voices." He said in his mind.

"Zedept, wake up." A female voice said. "huh?" He said. He slowly open his eyes and sees everyone but Kristia there. "Every…. one?" He asks weakly. Kana, Lyra, Ave, Angel and Myst all draw their swords and cut down the bars to the cell and they free Zedept.

"How… did you… find me?" Zedept asks. "That Tigrex of yours lead us here." Calvis said. Link and Ave help Zedept up. "Sorry about that, I'm really weak at the moment." Zedept said. "Here, drink this." Rocks said as he pulls out a yellow bottle. Zedept takes it and drinks it. Zedept gets his energy back. "Thanks. I owe you for it." He said. "Don't worry about that." Rocks said. Raylin runs up and hugs Zedept. "Raylin." Zedept said before Raylin kisses Zedept in front of everyone.

Raylin breaks the kiss. "You idiot, don't you dare disappear on us again." She said as tears start to run down her eyes. "I won't but more importantly, Floss has Shikaiza and I need to get it back." Zedept said.

"Then use these." Myst said. Zedept looks over towards him. Ave and Tre takes off a white cloth that was wrapped around them to reveal a Silver Rathalos SnS and a Gold Rathian SnS. "That's Silver Sol and Golden Eclipse." Zedept said surprised to see them again. Zedept then looks at The Creators and Kana's group. They all nodded. Zedept smiles and takes the two Sns'. Placing the silver shield on his right arm and the gold on his left with the blades on the same side.

"Twin Flames of Silver and Gold is back." Angel said. "Now let's get Floss." Zedept said and they ran down a hallway. They arrive at a steel door. "Is he?" Lyra asks. Zedept opens the door and sees Floss standing in the middle of an empty room. "I've been waiting for you." Floss said smirking at Zedept. "I want my greatsword back now Floss!" Zedept yelled as he gets and angry look on his face. Floss unsheathes Shikaiza.

"Come and get it from me." Floss said. Zedept pulls out both blades in a back grip style. "All of you stay out of this. This is my fight." Zedept said to everyone before running towards Floss. Zedept swings with his right blade and Floss blocks it. "Is that all you got?" Floss asks unfazed. "Forgive me Shikaiza but please last long enough for me to get you back." Zedept said in his head as he continuously slashes at Floss as they exchange swings with each other.

After fighting for 10 minutes, Zedept fall to his left knee. "Is that all the great Twin Flames has?" Floss asks as he only has a few scratches while Zedept's armor is cracked. "I won't." Zedept said. "What was that?" Floss asks. The gang started to see a change it Zedept. "What's happening to him?" Kristia said.

The gang looks quickly behind them and sees Kristia. "And where were you?" Taylor asks. "I had to get something but we should be focusing on him." Kristia said. "It might be that bloodline activating." Raylin said. Everyone quickly looks at Zedept as his hair starts to slowly wave. "I won't, let you get, AWAY WITH THIS!" Zedept said as his eyes glowed a bright red. Floss takes a few steps back.

"What is this I'm feeling?" He asks himself in his head. Zedept stands back up and stares at Floss. Floss charges at Zedept and swings downward and slashes Zedept across the left side of his face right above his ear. Zedept's head moves down towards the middle of his body. Everyone gets worried as a lot of blood flows from the wound. "Is that it?" Zedept asks. Floss looks down and sees Zedept staring at him, completely unfazed from the slash.

Floss backs off as Zedept gets straight back up. "What's going on with Zedept?" Kana asks. "The blood that's in him. It makes him feel almost no pain and heightens his hunting skills." Link explained. Zedept takes each blade and attaches them to their shields so where the blades point downward when his arms are down.

"Now Zedept's not messing around." Tre said. Zedept gets into a pose where his left side is more towards Floss with his arm out, ready to attack and his right ready to stab. Zedept charges and swings with both blades as the left blocked Shikaiza and the right slashed up Floss's body and face.

Floss falls to his knees with his Deathstench armor torn and his face slashed up. Zedept stares down towards Floss with his right blade pointed at him. "It's over." Zedept said in a deep and evil voice. Zedept arcs his arm back.

"DOOOONN'TTTTT DOOO IITTTT!" The girls yelled. Zedept hears them and stops right before the blade hits Floss's head. Zedept's eyes stop glowing and his hair stops waving and returns to normal. Zedept bends over and picks up Shikaiza and places it onto his back and removes the blades from their shields and he places them back onto his back hip.

Everyone rushes over to Zedept. "Are you alright?" "Does it hurt?" "What happened to you?" The questions came at Zedept at the same time. "Hey easy, that wound hurts like hell." Zedept said in pain as Calvis slaps the slash wound. "Nice work Zedept." A male voice said.

Everyone looked and saw Moke with Floss tied up. "When did you get here?" Rocks asks. "Shortly after you all got here. I took a different path and I found an escape route and had the Knights of Sand take care of it." Moke explained. Moke looks over at Zedept who know holds 2 Sns' and a greatsword.

"You know I can't allow you to carry all of those at the same time." Moke said to Zedept. "The Sns' are temporary." Zedept said back to Moke. "Alright then, I'll be taking Floss into custody now." Moke said. "Good, he needs to be locked up for life." Lyra said. "Agreed." Raylin, Sky, Haben and Ave said. Zedept suddenly stumbles to his left knee. "Guess that took a lot out of me." Zedept said breathing heavily.

Calvis helps Zedept up and takes Zedept's right arm and wraps it around him. "Calvis." Zedept said. "We need to get out of here so lean on me, I'll help you out of here." Calvis said. Zedept nods and they start to head back to the entrance they used. As they walk, Zedept sees the mess they made along the way. "You guys went on a rampage I see." Zedept said. "Yeah, I guess we did." Ave said as they see the damage the made.

Hideout Entrance – Early Night

They reach the entrance and there waiting were the Tigrexes. The scarred Tigrex came towards Zedept. "Hey there. I heard that you helped them find me." Zedept said. Tigrex lowers its head and Zedept rubs it with his left hand. "Thank you." He said. Tigrex does a small growl. "Let's get back to Icajuinawe." Link said. Kristia blows into her whistle and her Gigginoxes come. "You tamed some Noxes I see." Zedept said. "Yep." Kristia said getting onto one. Calvis helps Zedept onto the scarred Tigrex. Everyone else got onto the Gigginoxes or the other Tigrexes and flew back to Icajuinawe.
