Chapter 12
The battle for Tanzia part 3: assault
Joseph was tumbling down the hill. He had no idea where he was. Was he near the top or the bottom of the hill? Joseph didn't know; he was a hunter not a hill expert. Rolling, rolling, rolling. (What?) Finally he came to a stop. He looked up and saw Viridi falling down the hill as well before she landed on him.
Joseph woke up. He saw Viridi looking for the Deviljho wielding Tonfas. She looked back at Joseph "Oh, you're awake now. Luckily we landed next to a weapons shop, so take whatever you need." "A thanks for saving my life! Would be nice!" Joseph yelled "Oh yeah, that. I suppose I owe you now."
Joseph walked over to the weapons shop and saw there were no bows. His bow was probably underneath the Deviljho's foot. He picked up a steel of law (Gore Magala long sword) "This'll do."
Daimyo burrowed up from underground. "Sup Daimyo?" Daimyo started making sign language "So everyone is about to be eaten by the Deviljho and weapons can't kill it." Daimyo nodded. Viridi looked at them "How can you understand that?" she asked "I can't. I just assume he means that."
Joseph was ready to go. He looked over at Viridi who was still trying to figure out where the Deviljho was. "Are you coming with us?" Joseph asked. "No! Why should I?" "Last time I checked someone owes me a favour." Viridi sighed and hopped onto Daimyos back. "I'm still going to kill you after this." "Assuming we both live that long!" Daimyo burrowed underground.
Azure landed and Sean jumped to the ground "NO! NO! NO!" He picked up Alicia "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" Alicia woke up "Well I'm glad to know you feel that way about m-" Sean dropped her "OW! Why'd you do that? That's no way to treat someone you were mourning for a second ago!" "Oh no I wasn't yelling no because you were dead. I was doing it because you have the money and I have no idea where you keep it." Alicia sighed and held up a bag full of zenny "its right he-" Sean grabbed the zenny "Thanks!" He yelled. He jumped onto Azure's back. "Let's go kill that Deviljho!" Azure flew off. The pink Rathian followed.
The Claptrappers kept on sprinting. The Deviljho was a little bit behind. "I'm so tired!" moaned Callum "I know right? It feels like we've been running for 419 words!" replied Zach. A fireball shot out from in-between the buildings. Sean flew at the Deviljho firing bullets at it while azure used fireballs. "Oh, so you're back now, eh? Think you can take me on, eh? DO YOU, EH!?" Ben looked at the Deviljho "So you're Canadian now?" The Deviljho turned to the path. He yelled "THAT'S RACIST!" and shot dragon breath. Zach and Alexandra ran towards the buildings. Ben, Riko, Anthony and last and probably least Callum ran to the right.
The Deviljho turned to face Sean. "So then, how does it feel to have all your friends taken from you?" Sean replied "Actually they're not my friends." "What? But you seem to work together without asking any questions about each other." "I don't know that's probably the creator of fate not telling the other creators of fate about what's going on and never mentioning it all so they don't know that and it happens and then the other creator of fate spends days complaining at that creator of fate when they never mentioned it." "Good theory, anyway WELCOME TO DIE!"
Another fireball flew towards the Deviljho "Now this is just unfair." Is all he had time to say before he was hit in the side of the face. The Deviljho brushed himself off "You know, while you can't hurt me that badly you have hurt my emotions a lot." He looked up and saw that nothing was there, he looked around and Sean wasn't there too. The Deviljho sighed "Can I catch any prey today?" He looked over the buildings and saw Zach and Alexandra running. "Perfect." The Deviljho grinned.
Ben turned to look at the Deviljho as it stomped in the other direction. He turned to everyone else and he said "You know what? I'm tired of these mother****ing Narjarala's on this mother****ing airship! Wait, wrong speech…" Ben opened his item pouch and sorted through all the speeches in his item pouch "Ah, here it is! I'm tired of running from this Deviljho! And you know what?" he turned to the Deviljho. "I'M GOING TO CHOP YOUR HEAD OFF, SET YOU ON FIRE, PISS ON YOUR CORPSE TO EXTINGUSISH THE FLAMES AND FEED YOUR REMAINS TO THE APTONOTH!" Ben turned around and saw everyone staring at him "Don't judge until you try it." "Fair enough." said Riko, Anthony sighed "I am working with crazy people" "You just noticed?" asked Callum "No." Replied Anthony "ok then, LETS KILL THIS THING!" yelled Ben. They all rode towards the Deviljho on their monsters except Riko; he didn't have a monster, so he had to run.
Zach turned around and saw the Deviljho about to eat him; he shot it in the eyes and continued to run. Zach caught up with his Ludroth and Alexandra "I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up, I'm almost out of ammo!" Alexandra replied "I can't hold it off any longer because my lance is about to break and I'm out of stuff to sharpen it with!" they both turned to the Deviljho, its eyes had regrown. The Deviljho's voice boomed "Fine then! I would prefer to eat you raw but I'm alright with cooking you alive." It started to charge dragon breath. "DAIMYO NOW!" Daimyo came up from underground and grabbed them both and pulled them underground, Zach's Ludroth followed them. The hole closed. Dragon breath scorched where they were 2 seconds ago.
Joseph and Viridi leaped down from above, Joseph destroyed the Deviljho's eyes and wounded its legs before landing but Viridi used her tonfas to propel herself on to the Deviljho's back and started stabbing it, the Deviljho was knocked over and Joseph used the spirit combo to attack it. He charged it up and repeated this until his sword went red. Viridi then pulled out two dragon bomb+ and a small barrel bomb and the Deviljho up. The Deviljho stood up. The parts that were blown up were regenerating "It's been fun but I think it's time for you to die now." Joseph replied "Ah-ha! I have one last trick up my sleeve, DAIMYO NOW!" Nothing happened "Oh-er, guess he's not here yet, can we just wait until he comes back? Please?" "No." "Son of a black diablos" The Deviljho roared and got ready to eat.
Joseph looked at the Deviljho, it had him and Viridi cornered "Well at least we'll die togethe" Viridi jumped up to the buildings "Nope!" she yelled.
The Deviljho turned its head sideways and its mouth moved forward. Its teeth were about to close on Joseph when there was a burrowing sound and Daimyo jumped up from the ground and held the Deviljho's mouth open!
The Deviljho started trashing about and running all over the place. Zach's royal Ludroth shot water at the Deviljho to weaken it and slow it down. Alexandra ran at its ankles and cut through both of them, knocking the Deviljho over. Joseph was thrown back by the mini-earthquake the Deviljho's fall caused "Wow, I'm pretty sure that fall was so powerful it created an alternate universe or something that smart people say." Zach jumped at the Deviljho and the lance impaled it through the eyes, he loaded in a wyvern fire and incinerated half of the Deviljho's face. Joseph yelled "I'm here as well!" and chopped the Deviljho's tail off.
Joseph looked at the tail he cut off, he started to carve it. He got a Deviljho hide. He turned around to the stump, it was already regenerating! "Wait, I cut that off last so that must mean… DAIMYO RUN!" Joseph threw the hide in the river and ran towards daimyo
The Deviljho stood up with Daimyo still in its mouth, the Deviljho chomped. Joseph heard bones snapping and saw blood flying out of the Deviljho's mouth. After chewing for a little bit it swallowed the mangled remains of what had once been Joseph's best friend. It looked at Joseph "I was really hungry, thanks for that!" The Deviljho grinned evilly. Joseph gripped his sword, trembling "No, no this be happening…" he looked at the Deviljho "YOU BASTARD! COME FIGHT ME YOU MOTHER****ER!" "Challenge accepted" the Deviljho replied.

Ben saw the entire thing through his binoculars, he said "Well that escalated quickly." And started running towards the Deviljho again.
