The daughter of Raven and granddaughter of the demon Trigon, Yuki Star, A.K.A The Crystal Rose, enters into Yarnham to do what she does best, kill the monsters. Harnessing the power to control the elements of life itself, Yuki has little to no problem fighting false gods. But her truest foe now enters into the realm of reality, breaking it upon its birthing. Can the quarter demoness and heir to Hell's throne defeat the new Great One or become its first victim? Find out, only on The Hunters.
The Hunter's Dream, in the field of flowers once again. A mass of plant vines slithers across the ground and climb ontop of one another to build a small pillar. Each one then freezes over and becomes solid ice, only to shatter apart and reveal a young pale-grey skinned girl with long black hair and short bangs. She wore a blue kimono with white flowers pictured on it and a flower shaped bertte on the left side of her hair. On her left arm was a dark purple plant vine with thorns running up and down it, while her right hand held a sword made of ice.
"I'm going to watch you bleed." Yuki says.
Meanwhile, the amber glowing moon hovers over the field. In front of it, the Moon Presence floats down. He crawls towards Yuki and takes her in both hands, attempting to embrace her only for some force to repel the two from each other. The Moon Presence lets out a screech and takes an aggressive stance, acknowledging Yuki as its enemy.
The fight begins. The Moon Presence crawls towards Yuki at an alarming speed and readies to swipe at her with its right hand. Yuki dashes back, being grazed only by the finger tips of the Moon Presence hand. She then lifts up her left arm and has the vine wrapped around it slither up and reel back for a heavy attack. She lands the hit on the Moon Presence, striking it in similar fashion to the Parasite of Kos equip. For a lesser enemy type, Yuki's vine attack would've delt a poison effect, but with the Moon Presence it only increased the damage on the hit. Yuki follows it up with light attacks from her ice sword construct but none of which seem to actually bother the Moon Presence as it reels its arms back and lunges forward, knocking Yuki back.
Yuki dashes back as the Moon Presence begins a flurry of attacks. She drains her stanima to near depletion just trying to stay one step away from each of the Moon Presence attacks. Once Yuki is backed into a wall and the Moon Presence has ceased his onslaught, she uses the last ounce of her stanima to utilize her special attribute, small range teleportation. This causes Yuki to be consumed by a cloud of purple mist, vanish and reappear on the other side of the arena, gaining much needed space between her and her attacker. Yuki takes this chance to crack a couple of blood viles and heal back up while rebuilding her stanima. She also switches her right hand weaponary to just equip her ice powers only. So instead of holding an ice sword in her right hand, now her right hand was frozen over and turned blue with fog coming off of it.
With this ability Yuki can build a small wall of ice between her and her attacker. A wall that is very useful as the Moon Presence lunges at Yuki only to be bounced off and stumble back by the ice barrier. But after a single use, the wall breaks. Yet with the Moon Presence now stumbled back, Yuki is free to use her second ice capability. She shoots out a small blizzard from her right hand and freezes her attacker into moving slower until it comes to a full and complete stop. The skin of the victim turns completely blue as a sign of its icy imprisonment, but over time their skin will revert back to normal as they warm back up. While the Moon Presence is frozen in place, Yuki preforms another heavy strike with her vine and whips the Moon Presence back, breaking him free from his imprsionment in the process. But Yuki isn't finished just yet, she holds her left arm out and causes several Venus Fly Traps to lash out and off of her Left arm, similar to Hunter's that shoot out the snakes.
With those attacks, Yuki uses the last of her stanima to dash back and recharge her energy at a safe distance. But The Moon Presence was growing tired of this fight. It stood up on its hind feet and began to float up. It then curled up and started to draw energy towards itself. Once it was charged enough, the Moon Presence swung out its arms and legs and sent out a wave of energy that consumed most of the stage as well as most of Yuki's health. Had Yuki been any closer to the Moon Presence, it would've been the end for her. But she was far enough out of harms way and able to take time to use some blood viles to heal herself.
The Moon Presence made a sudden dash for Yuki and started to swipe into her with a flurry of attacks. Yuki was taking a heavy beating and was running out of health. She dashed back and used her third ice power where she punches the ground and sends a mass of spikes made from ice to sprout out of it and around her, knocking back all surrounding attackers. Rather then breaking from a single use however, the spikes began to melt away. But this allowed Yuki enough time to teleport to the other side of the stage once again, where she could regain health and stanima.
As the Moon Presence turns and began to crawl towards her, Yuki used her second special attribute, and summoned a familiar to aid her in the fight. The familiar is decided at random but always takes the form of an enemy type. This time is was a giant mass of snakes that spat venom at the Moon Presence and lashed at it with its many heads. While the Familiar stalled the Moon Presence, Yuki swapped to duel-handed weaponary. She constructed a double-sided spear ice construct and had her vine wrap around it. By the time she finished the familiar she summoned was already dead and dealt little damage to the Moon Presence.
Yuki dashed out of the Moon Presence swipe and countered it right afterwards. The touch of the ice spear dealt the same amount of damaged as a regular weapon, but thanks to the vines wrapped around it, the spear was followed by a second strike without the usage of any stanima. A purple mist exuded off of the spear, as a sign of it's poisonous effect, which just increased the damaged imput on the Moon Presence. Eventually the Moon Presence was knocked back and staggered, causing it to fall on all fours and collect itself for a moment.
(Prey Slaying)
Yuki held her weapon in her right hand and to the side while placing her left hand gently on her downed opponent. Meanwhile, a mass of purple and dark green vines grew out and slithered around the staggered beast, tightening around them as blood flies out, and rips off of them as Yuki yanks her arm back. The Moon Presence flies back and onto the floor, fading away as it lets out one last howl to the night sky.
Epilogue:
Yuki Star, The Crystal Rose and daughter of Raven, proved triumphant over the newly bred Great One. She stood in the field of flowers, now alone and in silence and gave a glance over her shoulder back to the burning Workshop with a blank expression. She then turned and began to walk out further into the field, leaving everything else behind at long last.
Eventually Yuki came across some more Yarnamites, turned beast from the night that just was. Each of them looking to her as she stood atop of a hill. But instead of attacking her, the beasts bowed. The Amber moon floating behind her as Yuki stared out to the endless field of beasts and madmen and cracked a smile.
"Watch your back grandpa." Yuki whispered to herself.
