An adventure

I thought I'd randomly post up my story from the legdendary game MonsterHunter. Staring alot of my friends and me as if were actually the people we play as. Here it is.

Chapter 1. Getting to "know" you
This story begins in kotoko village, A group of hunters that go by the name Kikojui, Dingo, Unagi and Jackus (XD) are now legends among any and all the monster hunters around the area. A 18 year old by the name of Emundis has been seeking the group in hopes of finding help on a very important mission against a new monster that has dared to rear his horrid face in the area.

A few days of traveling leaves Emundis almost giving up but as he sits to take a break he hears a shout in his direction.

"Get outta the way kid your gona get stomped!" Says a rather strange looking man dressed in what looks like rock armour. Another shout also heads towards him "dont just sit there! Move your ass kid!" This one was dressed in a mixture of rock and white horse looking armour. As Emundis looks up a Silver looking monster was heading my way. "GET DOWN KID!" The rocky armoured hunter said he pulls out a rather strange looking bow gun and fires a cluster shot at the Silver monster. It zips close past Emundis and hits the Silver monster square in the head, a triumphant shout is heard "BOYAH! RIGHT IN THE HEAD!" the gunner says The silver creature falls out of the sky and hits the ground with a mighty crash that shakes the earth it's self.

Emundis looks at the group as they run past he shouts "Who are you!?" A woman dressed also in rocky and horse like armor turns around and shouts back "Were legendary hunters! you'l have to keep up if you want to find out more!" Emundis looks confounded as the group disappear, "W...Wait!!" Emundis shouts and starts to run after the group. After a while he catches up, he stops and notices that the silver creature was fighting off the group and noticed another one he had amour unlike the others... Three of them were running up and striking with swords that seemed to summon thunder down from the heavens. the last one seemed to be standing on a ledge that shot out from a hill and was shooting balls of lightning at him. Emundis looked at the knife on his back and drew it he then slipped on his shield and started to make an approach at the fearsome silver beast, he gets with in striking range and with a mighty roar he brings the knife down right on the monsters head only to bounce of like a ball hitting the floor, the group look surprised and rather annoyed that some one else had decided to try and join in. The horse and rock armored man looks at Emundis"This ain't a kids game ya know!" he shouts angrily and gets hit by a fireball. That was it for the woman she ran in and with a mighty roar of power a trail of lightning trailing behind her sword she strikes the Silver monster so hard in the head that it breaks it's shell and cleaves it's head clean off.

The group run up to the silver creature and start to pull all manner of things off its body like the claws fangs and armored plates. After a few mins the group look up and notice Emundis looking at them. He gulps and makes a step forward. "Are you by chance the Legendary Kotoko warriors?" he asks looking rather scared. The strangely armored one steps forward sheathing his lance and speaks with a very clear and clam voice "That we are good sir what might your name be?" Emundis looks shocked by the responce and tells them his name, the armored man replies once more "I am Kikojui a Legendary lancer with the power to smite any and all monsters" The gunner takes a step forward and speaks "I'm Jackus the legendary gunner" The horse and stone armored man steps forward and speaks "I'm Dingo the Tail Slicer" The woman steps forward and speaks "I'm Unagi The Legendary Sword and Shield user" Emundis looks in awe at the group and suddenly brings him self back to his sences "Well you see there's this monster thats recently appeared... We dont have much information but... It's something thats not been seen before apparently. Maybe some one of your caliber might be able to take it out... The group look at eachother and then look back at Emundis, Kikojui folds his arms and speaks "Hmm... Well, we the Great Kotoko Warriors will look into this matter" Emundis looks supprised and almost close to tears "th... Thank you so much!" He crys as he shieths his knife and shield. A strange noise is heard from behind the group and jackus quickly turns to see a Massive Blue Kut-ku standing right in front of him "Holy god..!" Jack shouts as the kut-ku spins knocking jack flying "Stand back Emundis! We'l handle this little blighter!" Kikojui shouts as he turns around pulling his lance from his back. Unagi quickly jumps into position and jumps on top of the Kut-ku and starts to place large looking barrels around its neck using ropes, Dingo runs forward and brings his great sword down on the kut-ku's head making dents in it's beak and damaging some of its frills. Jackus comes to his sences and draws out his bow gun "Alright... NOW IM PISSED!" He shouts, he loads up a rather large looking ball into the chamber and locks it in place "Outta the way kiddies!" Jackus shouts and pulls the trigger the ball flys out and hits the kut-ku, nothing seems to happen for a little while then... All of a sudden a blitz of explosions is heard as the ball detonates sending more explosives out which detonates the barrels tied to the kut-ku's neck "take that mutha fuckaaa!" Jackus shouts in glee. Luckily the rest of the group had dived for cover and were well clear of the explosions, as the group get to their feet the after math of the explosions is plain to see the kut-ku's whole body was scortched and burnt. Realising it was getting killed rather easily the kut-ku trys to make an escape, limping as fast as it can the kut-ku moves into a wide open area and starts to try and gain momentum only be to be stopped by Unagi who had grabbed a flash bomb and landed it right between its eyes making the kut-ku fall back down to the earth. Kikojui makes a forward movement and plants his spear all the way from the kut-ku's head to its tail finishing the beast off in one final strike. The group like last time run over to the corpse and start to pull parts of it off, you could hear comments like "This would sell for LOADS!" and "Heh, stupid thing didnt stand a chance...". The group finish calving up the monster and look to Emundis once more "Sorry for that little interuption..." Kikojui says rather comicaly "erm... Don't worry about it?" Emundis replys rather awrkwardly, "I think we should head back to town and get ready for this new beast" Kikojui suggests "sounds like a plan" the group agrees to head back to town and get ready for the new creature.

Chapter 1- 2. If in doubt "BLOW IT UP!"

As the group arrive in town a bell is sounded as every one stops to look at the group as they step foot back into kotoko. Shouts of glee and praise are heard, the group walk slowly up to the guild hall, they push open the doors and the hunters inside look to see the group enter. Nods are passed between the hunters as they take a seat in the hall and order some good ol Kotoko ale. Jackus looks at the board and seems to get lost in the sea of papers asking for monsters to be taken down. Kikojui, unagi and Dingo clash pint mugs and glug down the ale. After a while Jackus takes a seat next to Emundis and pokes him in the arm "so Emundis... whats the pay like if we take out this monster?" Emundis looks slightly supprised by the sudden question but replys "Well... We dont have much money. Our town has been hit really hard, so for now all we physicaly have to offer is 1500zeny and a bunch dobascus herbs..." Jackus looks rather disapointed by the reply but smiles and says "Well I guess that can't be helped! Mind you... I do have a slight adiction to Dobascus herbs" Emundis smiles and Kikouji speaks "Looks like we should rest up for the rest of the day We'l head out tomorrow as soon as Unagi wakes up" the group looks at Unagi who is doubled over on the table. Emundis looks supprised "W..Wow..." Emundis stands and heads for the door "I'll see you all tomorrow!" He walks out and the rest of the group is left to do their own thing for the rest of the evening.

The next day...

Unagi wakes up first and heads over to Kikojui she pokes him in the gutt and jumps back before he can react, Kikojui swings his arms arround as if trying to swat a fly and suddenly wakes up. He scowels at Unagi for a moment then sits up "Good morning..." Unagi smiles and points towards Jackus and Dingo who had both fallen asleep at the table both doubled over on the bentches Kikojui lets out a quick smirk and proceeds to throw a place matt from the table at Jackus and dingo which bounces off jackus's head and lands a little bit away from Dingo it had no effect on the pair as they lay passed out on the table. Kikojui laughs and walks over to the pair and tips what's left of the pint mugs over them which in turn startles them as they drunkenly awaken.

As the group gear up for the long trip ahead Emundis is waiting at the exit of the town armed to the teeth with all kinds of potions rations and cooking equipment along with a strange looking BowGun that looked like the head of a Kut-ku. Jackus whistles and leans forward a little, just a small gun there eh? Jackus winks and slips both of his guns on his back one looked like a pale purple colour which he named the Sand Fall and the other looked like an antique rifle which he named the Island of the gods (because of the motive on the side of the rifle) They head out and make for the volcano region. The group look around the base camp and look up to see if there was any thing flying around. Kikojui looks into the next area and spots some herbivores munching around as they often did in that area he waves to the group signaling them to come over to him as they armed them selfs for what ever comes next.

They traverse for a while unhindered by any of the creatures lurking around the area, they come to a cave and head inside to see a dark black creature sleeping there. The group signal for a surrounding attack. As the group surrounds the creature, Jackus and Emundis on the small ledge aiming with their strongest guns poised at the head, Kikojui dingo and unagi at angles of each other all set up explosives and pitfall traps, Unagi picks a stone from the ground and throws it at the big black creature, startled by being woken so suddenly it sleepily staggers to its feet. Kikojui lets out a one word signal which was NAO!!! the gunners aim their shots to the barrels which blowup creating alot of smoke, the creature was caught in the blast. The smoke clears the creature obviously hurt from such a large ammount of force its body scortched and its chestplate, broken to peices and layed scattered on the floor. It quickly has look around to see how bad a suituation it was in. It lets out a monsterous roar and looks towards Kikojui and raises its head high in the air a strange light gathering in its mouth Jackus looks towards Kikojui and shouts "LOOK OUT!!" with lightning quick reflexes Kikojui jumps to the side as a huge stream of lava flies from the creatures mouth. As it slowly stops firing Unagi and Dingo run in slashing and hacking at the creature as best they could untill it sends them flying using a firey blast around its self, it looks to Emundis and Jackus on the ledge. It loweres it's head and starts to run towards the two on the ledge as it gets closer it suddenly falls into a pitfall trap that was cleverly placed by jackus he looks to Emundis "lets do this dude!!" they let rip with all the explosive shots they have landing them all on the creatures strugling head. Its head-plates scortch and break in areas as it finaly escapes the trap. as the group re-group the creature lets out a horrific roar and starts to breath flame from the mouth it looks towards Kikojui once more and raises its head like last time Dingo spotting this does a running dive towards Kikojui and pulls him to safety as the creature lets off another lava blast. Kikojui and Dingo rise to their feet and nod to each other they call the group to come to him. This is where the story gets a little hazy in my old memory but as I recall it Kikojui pulled out some parts and quickly modified his lance with a strange device which made the lance open and had what looked like a chamber of a bowgun, Kikojui slips some strange looking ammunition into the lance he stands firm and says cool and clamly "This is my new creation... THE GUN LANCE!" He readies himself for what came next. The creature on one side of the room the group on the other it raised its head and created a HUGE ammount of light. Kikojui closes his eyes and prayed for a moment "Oh power of protection... Have i ever needed your powers it would be now..." Kikojui quickly tells the group to get behind him and to brace themselfs for impact the creature lets out his lava blast and it hits Kikojui's shield dead on, the group hold together sliding back as the blast pushes them back against the wall. The group looked to be strugling to live at this point then out of no where Kikojui adjusts and points his lance strait into the lava and shouts "I WILL NOT FAIL!!" and starts to run through the lava stream, the rest of the group quickly break away from the lava and regroup to see what happens next, Kikojui pushes through to the head of the beast, for a second kikojui stops and looks at the beast square in the eyes and says triumphantly "ITS OVER!" he straitens up his new lance and lands it inside the mouth of the beast blood pours down the lance like a red river then he sets the lance to the floor and hits a button near the handle and a HUGE explosion is heard as the gunlance fires off the rounds he had placed inside it. The creatures head was incinerated almost instantly and its corpse fell to the floor with a floor shaking thud. Kikojui looks supprised yet reliefed to hear the body hit the floor he grins and puts his hands on his hips "well that worked out alot better than expected right?" he looks around to see every one circled around something on the floor he walks over and looks to see Jackus covered in lava remenents, his mouth opens in shock to see his battle brother fallen by the creature. Jackus looks up to the group "I guess you really pulled through for us huh?" Kikojui nods and says "That we did..." Jackus looks to the rest of the group "It was an honour to have fought by your sides may the good fortune continue to keep you safe..." His head drops to the side and he remains motionless... The grouphead back to the town using a cat kart to take Jackus's corpse back to the village for a proper send off. the group nod to each other and head off back to what they had started to search for... A creature that had never been seen before...

END OF PART 1
