"...!"
Warren turned his head at the sound of wood snapping. Clenching his teeth and looking to the source. Strom. Strom had made the noise.
Looking back at the brush, he stared the Azuros in the eye as a chill rushed though his whole being. He could feel the breathing of the large monster. Slowly and carefully he moved himself away, before taking off in a full sprint.
"WE GOTTA GOOO!"
Warren wasn't happy with Strom for making one of the most basic beginner's mistakes. Not watching his surroundings. But this was no time to yell at Strom. They found the Azuros and all that was left is to kill or capture it. As he ran he grabbed a paintball and tossed it at the monster to keep tabs on it and turned to face the large monster. Banging on his shield with his sword to taunt the large monster.
"Everyone stay on guard!"

Itami
The Arzuros sent Gaia on full alert and her tail prepped as she readied to swing at the large beast as soon as it exited the bushes, she planned to protect Itami at any cost and the others were just an added two to protect. Itami had her arrow drawn and ready and she knew her and Gaia were a shield at the moment, as soon as Gaia could get a shot on the Arzuros and at least daze it for a second the two of them would move back a bit but still attempt to keep it's attention. Itami's eyes left the beast for a moment, "Strom. Go to Warren and both of you be ready." She said making sure he heard her clearly before looking over to Warren now ready to set up as they thought this plan should go well since strategy usually led to success. "Warren! When we move back it should follow us. You two attack the sides we'll try and keep it focused as best we can. And be careful!" She yelled out so he could hear. The idea of being stealthy was out the window now since it was practically useless to attempt to do with the beast right here.

The pink splotch from the paintball looked rather odd from the beasts blueish colored body and was almost humorous in a way but at the moment they couldn't admire that in any sort of form or fashion. Battle instincts kicked in and Itami began to feel adrenaline pumping through her the start of a smile came to her face, "Care if we dance?" She whispered mockingly as if to challenge he Arzuros. Fully aware that this thing could kill her she ensured she could keep the others safe or at least defend them to the best of her capabilities, if not well.. she would more than likely die trying. Gaia's eyes locked on the Arzuros her powerful mace of a tail stood firm and the muscles ready to release a savage blow the moment the beast came at them.

Strom
While the others seemed to be quick to spring right into the action, Strom was more panicked and hesitant. He never had to deal with such a large monster before, he only really dealt with small monsters when he was sure no large monsters were stomping about in the tundra. This, this was certainly overwhelming, especially when he looked at how angry and dangerous the Arzuros was. When Itami ordered the young hunter to go where Warren was, it took all of his conscious effort to do so, taking uneasy steps towards the burly hunter and raising his shield defensively. How could he possibly pierce that thick hide? He could barely mine for minerals! Dad, what have you gotten me into?

He glanced to Warren, keeping one eye on the beast before them, "Kn-Know where it's weak spots are?" His voice was a tiny tremble, and he did all he could to keep himself from whimpering.

The Arzuros quickly had its attention diverted to Warren as soon as it got hit with the paintball. With a roar, the beast shuffled towards the two melee hunters with surprising speed. The beast stood up on its hind legs, and, with its large front paws, swiped at the two hunters in an attempt to tear at them.

"I'm pretty sure I know!"
Warren shouted to Strom, standing his ground.
"I read up on these guys on the trip here. My dad wrote about each monster he fought. It's all in here."
Warren patted his bag to signify where his father's knowledge was contained and looked back at the beast.
"Let's just follow Itami's plan for now. It's nothing new, but it works. And that's really all that matters!- Woah!"
Warren reacted just in time to put up his shield after being grazed on the shoulder by a claw, staggering him some.
"Calm down and attack it when Itami gets its attention. I know you can do it, Strom!"

 

[Entity.Eclypse]

Itami
Gaia and Itami turned moving a little ways and getting behind the Arzuros before raising her club tail once more. Gaia wasted no time before swinging her tail at the beast the club moving fast and hard. Itami's bow was drawn and if the beast staggered she'd release the arrow. But currently she needed to get the other two out of the way so they wouldn't get clawed by the beast which had quite a ferocity from what she could see. But there was a mixture of fear and confidence going on inside her at the moment, the fear she'd loose someone if this didn't go her way and then the confidence of feeling they would get this done with very little issues. "Get ready!" She shouted to the both hoping that they'd be able to do this or they could all be in far too deep to swim as some would say.

The Arzuros felt the full force of Gaia's mace-like tail. The hit caused the beast to stagger briefly, letting out a surprised yelp in response. It didn't take long for the Arzuros to regain its footing, however, as it whirled around to face the Apceros with narrowed eyes and a ferocious roar. It sprang forward, claws heading straight for Gaia's hide.

Strom
Strom had been clutching onto his shield tightly, waiting for the Arzuros to strike. When it didn't hit them again, he peeked over the rim of his shield and noticed it going after Itami's companion instead. The young hunter quickly glanced over to Warren, noticing he had been hit by the giant bear. He frowned in concern at the sight, "Y-You okay?" he asked, stepping out of the way for Itami and going to carefully check on his brave, bearded friend.

"I'm all good! You just care about yoursel- Ohh! It's distracted! Gooo!"
As Warren ran up, he poured a good helping of Affinity oil onto his blade, making him hit harder. He opened with a horizontal slash, and followed with an upward vertical slash, and hit with full vertical spin. Then, he leaped back, and back forward, plunging in sword deep into the Azuros.
"Haah... it's working?"
Without hesitation, Warren repeated the combonation.
Horizontal slash.
"... I guess I'm not as great as my brother or my father..."
Upward vertical slash.
"...But this is my chance..."
Downward vertical chance
"And I have the guts to take it..."
Spinning slash, stepping back.
"...I can be a hero!"
With a loud grunt, Warren leaped toward the beast with his sword fueled by passion, striking it once more.

Itami
Claws smashed down on Gaia as the weight of the beast went against her, the claws while large clashed against her thick shell-like hide and left some lacerations. Though they weren't deep enough to be too big of an issue, though it made Gaia's body shake slightly from the force causing Itami to release the arrow prematurely. Though since the beast was right there the arrow headed straight at it's eye less than a meter away. Thankfully Itami managed to hold onto Gaia who let out a pained sound before the mace came back once more this time headed to the Arzuros' head. Gaia seemed to have a struggle though since quite obviously it had to hurt her quite a bit and while the lacerations wouldn't be fatal it still hurt excruciatingly for her. Itami notched another arrow and quickly fired it once more heading for the nose this time, if she could somehow stop it from seeing and smelling them... if that was even possible she knew it may give them more of a chance to have less luck harming them. "Hit it from the sides! We have the front covered" Her voice carried enough so it was over the sounds of flesh being penetrated and pained sounds from the beasts.

The Arzuros roared in pain as Warren's strikes connected with its side. It turned to swipe at the bearded hunter, and as it turned, the tail strike aimed for its head connected with its shoulder instead. The big bear flinched, nearly getting knocked over by the impact. The staggering caused Itami's first arrow to graze the side of its head, but the second one hit its mark, landing right on its nose. With a pained whimper, followed by a fierce snarl, the beast lashed its arms out to free itself from the hunters, and made an attempt to flee through the forest.

Gamora arrives at Basecamp, since she took a gathering quest in the Misty Peaks in Bherna's Hunter's hub. She brought her two palicoes, Oakris and Gearoid, to assist in gathering. Gamora wore her full Dreadking Rathalos armor with her Ashen Bardredd chargeblade equipped. "Let's go, guys, we got lots of gathering to do!" she sang as she walked out into the first area, her palicoes following. "Look, a bug spot! Let's gather there Meowster!" Oakris exclaimed with glee as she and Gearoid sprinted over, and started to catch bugs. Gamora chuckled and ran up to the spot as she said, "Save some for me!" she used her Old Bug Net until there were no bugs left. Then she heard the roars and cries of an Arzuros, as well as a few Hunters. "Wait.... The Wycademy did not tell me of other hunters here. I will have a word with the manager once we are done here." Gamora said, and Gearoid looked at her. "Do nya think the Wycademy sent them?" he asked. "I am unsure, but we got to check it out." Gamora said as she followed the sounds of battle. "Wait for us Meowster!" oakris and gearoid shout as the ran after their master. Minutes later they come upon the scene, and watched from a distance. "They do not look like any Wycademy hunters we mew, I mean know." Gearoid said as gamora contemplates on either going about her business, or helping the hunters out.

Staggering back at his success, excited that he actually didn't mess up, Warren smirked through his armor.
"I threw that paintball to track it, just follow the trail of paint and we should find it! C'mon!"
Warren gestured to the others and began following the pink trail of paint it left in its wake.
He pulled out a whetstone and stopped to sharpen his weapon.
"...Nice and sharp."
He then ran off again, to follow the bear like creature.

 

[Entity.Eclypse]

Itami
Shrugging slightly she aimed her bow and fired another arrow which whistled and followed after the creature only to be slightly off it's mark as the arrow thunked into a tree trunk. It shook a few birds from it which flew off into the woods conveniently the same way the Arzuros was going. Gaia the large Apceros which Itami rode turned to follow, "Strom make sure you follow us as closely was you can.. wouldn't want anything coming at you" She said with a smile before Gaia began to run off and Itami drew her next arrow ready to fire it as soon as she could find a clean shot on the large beast. Though she knew they wouldn't kill it if she kept missing the fatal shots she needed. So she amped herself up as they charged after the bear-like monster, they were slightly slower than it so she hoped they could catch up to it as soon as possible just because it'd give them more of a fighting chance and maybe even possibility to bring this thing down sooner than expected.

"Oakris, Gearoid, follow them closely, but stay out of their way. If you can, stop that Arzuros for them, but do not harm it in any way, this is not our quest." Gamora ordered as both cats nodded. "Let's go, we don't have all day!" Gearoid shouted as he dug into the ground, and followed the group, and soon after, Oakris followed suit. "Now time for me to follow, but I will be behind them this time." she muttered as she slowly followed the group. Oakris and Gearoid were able to quickly get in front of the Arzuros, with enough distance to pop up as soon as the creature was on top of them. Once the Palicoes felt a tremor from the creature, they popped up, and screamed "Rawr!" , causing the bear to stop abruptly, and take a tumble. "We did it! We stopped it!" Oakris shouted as Gearoid readied his weapon, with intent to block attacks. "Oakris, block." Gearoid said with a growl as oakris put up her weapon to block. "Now we have to wait until Meowster gets here." Gearoid growled. Entity.Eclypse Scrubnoppon ProjectMischa

Strom

Strom felt a little guilty for not having been able to contribute much for the team so far. Then again, that was his fault entirely. He had been frozen in fear the entire time, trying not to panic and run away but also rooted to the spot when he couldn't bring himself to attack. He could barely mine a rock, after all, what made him or anyone think he could pierce such a thick hide? He felt even more embarrassed when Itami tried to reassure him and reminded him to stay close. The young hunter definitely could do that, but he had to do more than just stand before the beast like a startled gargwa. That wouldn't do at all. He quickly followed after his team, his voice a quiet mumble as they went forward, "S-Sorry I didn't really do anything..."

The Arzuros was only a few paces ahead of them, but it had been limping away with an urgency that furthered the distance between it and the hunters with each passing second. Strom was sure that they were about to lose sight of it when the great, blue beast suddenly reared up on its hind legs and tumbled backwards onto its back, letting out a startled growl of surprise. "W-What just-" Strom was about to ask before he spotted what looked to be two little Felynes decked out in armor before the beast. Where did those two come from? Strom nearly skidded to a halt himself in surprise at their sudden appearance.

(only one is wearing armor.) Gamora ran up right behind the group, and stood in fronf of everyone, and drew her weapon, keeping her shield up. "If you have traps, use them now!" She barked at the group of hunters as her two palicoes stood their ground. "Hold your ground palicoes! Do not let the Arzuros through!" She stood in a defensive stance, hearing "YES MEOWSTER!" the felynes were set on their objective, which is to act as a barrier to the beast, weapons up to block.

Varian frowns as he peers into his pouch, noting by the sun's position in the sky that he is running out of time to fill it. Unfortunately, it looks like he is going to have to take another Harvest Tour tomorrow; the usual spots just aren't producing the berries he needs. He's on the verge of a medical breakthrough, but with this shortage of ingredients... his job is proving rather difficult.

With a sigh, Varian takes stock of the berries he has managed to collect in order to determine what he is still missing. As he counts, a thought occurs to him, prompting him to reference his notes once more. Sure enough, the exact names of the missing fruits appear under a dietary substitution footnote for a particular monster, should it be unable to find sufficient honey. With a chuckle, he closes the notebook. "Well, I suppose it can't be helped," he muses. "If anything, the Arzuros has more claim to nature's bounty than I do!"

Varian begins walking back to base camp when along the way, he notices some discolored dirt along the path. Upon closer examination, he finds this to be a paint trail left behind by some creature that was recently here. Its tracks are muddled, likely trampled by the monster's pursuers, but Varian is well aware of what must be going on here. He winces with the realization, wondering whether he should go have a look. After a moment to ponder, Varian takes off along the trail.

By the time he reaches the scene, the fight is almost over. As he is running up, Varian hears a hunter cry out, "If you have traps, use them now!" Knowing it's to be now or never, he pulls a bundled-up net from his trusty hunter's pouch. The net is attached to four stakes by clamps that enable it to be spread across any surface into which the stakes can be driven. Coming up from behind the Arzuros, he drives one of these into the ground to its rear-left. "Here, use these!" He throws two more stakes to the palicoes in front of the monster, the other half of the net flying with it. He holds the last stake out towards the hunter whose voice he heard previously, not taking his eyes off of the wounded Arzuros. This is not this particular trap's intended use, but if he intends to make a point to these hunters now, it'll have to do.

Gamora and the palicoes sheathed their weapons and picked up the stakes as the new hunter handed them the stakes. "Put them in the ground, Palicoes!" Gamora ordered as the three stab the stakes into the ground. "This new hunter better know what he is doing. I was going to have th others trap it while the palicoes distract, but this works too." Gamora thought as Oakris and Gearoid await further instuction.

Strom

Strom was still in shock over the whole ordeal and how quickly everything had transpired. Two Felynes had shown up out of the blue, both working with another hunter as she arrived not long after them to relay instructions to the small team of rather new hunters. Shortly after that, yet another hunter arrived to help. He seemed to be setting up some sort of trap? Strom wasn't sure, but he wanted to be of assistance instead of just standing around uselessly. After all, it wouldn't be long before the Arzuros recovered from the shock and onslaught of these newcomers, and then it would try to make another escape. With trembling hands, the young man carefully approached the strange hunters, though he checked back to see where Warren and Itami were at with their attacks. Hopefully they could all come together as a team, as strange and mismatched as they all were.

He looked to the hunter setting up the trap, a determined looking man in his own right. "A-Anything I can do to help?" he asked softly, he wasn't entirely sure how everything worked yet, after all.

The Arzuros, on the other hand, had managed to roll back onto its feet, shaking its head to try and clear the confusion it was dealing with. The creature was overwhelmed, and with hunters everywhere it turned, the beast was cornered. It let out a loud roar, getting up on its hind legs and slamming its forelegs down on the ground, aiming for the nearest hunter it could get to. The beast needed to fight its way out this time.

"Yeah, grab a stake from the gunner that showed up, we need to pull it down, and fast!" Gamora ordered to Strom as the Arzuros tried to stomp on her. She rolled back, dropping the stake as she rolled. She then ran back up, grabbed the stake, and pulled behind her as the net rose up, ungulfing the creature. "Pull, Palicoes! Pull!" The two cats pulled with all their might as the bear struggled.
"A little help, please!" Gearoid shouted as he started to lose his footing. Gamora looked at Strom and then gestured fro him to help Gearoid. ProjectMischa Scrubnoppon Entity.Eclypse Flooberoid

Strom

Strom watched closely and immediately rushed over to help the little struggling Palico as instructed, taking hold of the stake and pulling with all his might. It....wasn't an impressive show, honestly. With his skinny frame and his spindly arms, he was only able to pull back a little. He dug his heels into the earth to try and steady himself a little, and to keep himself from trembling and letting go. The beast struggled and writhed with all its might, snapping at the netting and swiping its claws in a frantic motion to break free. Perhaps the only reason it hadn't succeeded yet was because it was so injured and weak for the time being, open wounds were dripping onto the dirt below. The sight made Strom feel a little squeamish, and he looked away from the yelping Arzuros in an attempt to keep himself from losing any more composure. Any longer and he would lose his grip on the stake.

Varian switched over to holding his stake in place with his foot as he calmly shifted the bowgun from his back. If these other hunters were worth their salt, the Arzuros was as good as caught. He slotted two tranquilizer shots into the gun and took aim at the helpless creature. With a shot each to the head and body, he reholstered the gun and returned his attention to the stake at his feet, waiting for the monster to lose consciousness. The only worry now was that boy losing his cool... Was he showing sympathy for the monster, or was he simply cracking under pressure? "You there, hunter," Varian yelled to Strom. "Hang tight just a little longer. You're doing fine."

"Stay Focused Hunter! Do not let go!" Gamora said to strom as she begun to lose her footing, she pulled with all her might, and kept the beast low to the ground as she regained her footing, trying to help strom out. Gearoid pulled with Strom's added strength. "Thanks friend, but it's nyat over yet'" Gearoid said to strom. Oakris kept her eye on the beast after the tranq shots landed, and watched as its struggling slowed. "Meow! The tranq shots took effect!" she shouted with glee as she pulled with all her strength. "Almost there everyone!"

 

[ProjectMischa]

The Arzuros let out a few last bellowing roars of protest, sounds that grew weaker with each passing second as the tranquilizers started to take their effect. Its struggles grew weaker and weaker, until, finally, the blue beast stumbled under the netting. With eyelids fluttering shut, it let out a low huff before the tranquilizers fully settled in, and the great, scarred beast drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Strom

Strom widened his eyes in disbelief as the beast toppled over and fell asleep. Just in time, too, the young hunter had felt his arms straining with the effort of keeping it in place. He let go of the stake with a great sigh once he was certain the Arzuros had fallen asleep, and wiped the sweat off of his brow. Did he actually help bring down a large monster for once? He didn't feel like he had contributed much, but he was thankful these new hunters had shown up when they did. Who knows what would have happened then? He looked between the newcomers, a timid yet relieved smile gracing his features, "Thank you s-so much for helping," he said quietly, "I w-wasn't sure how that was going to go.."

"Ah, yes. You're welcome," Varian said. "That net was supposed to be used for lining the insides of pitfalls to trap a monster, but for weaker monsters like the Arzuros, I predicted it would hold. I'm still a low rank hunter like you, but if you'd like I'd be happy to share some wisdom I've picked up on. Might help you to get started." Varian addressed Strom directly, hoping it wasn't out of line to offer the kid some help. He seemed green, the kind of guy who would be eaten alive if caught alone out in the wild.

The Arzuros let out a few last bellowing roars of protest, sounds that grew weaker with each passing second as the tranquilizers started to take their effect. Its struggles grew weaker and weaker, until, finally, the blue beast stumbled under the netting. With eyelids fluttering shut, it let out a low huff before the tranquilizers fully settled in, and the great, scarred beast drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Strom

Strom widened his eyes in disbelief as the beast toppled over and fell asleep. Just in time, too, the young hunter had felt his arms straining with the effort of keeping it in place. He let go of the stake with a great sigh once he was certain the Arzuros had fallen asleep, and wiped the sweat off of his brow. Did he actually help bring down a large monster for once? He didn't feel like he had contributed much, but he was thankful these new hunters had shown up when they did. Who knows what would have happened then? He looked between the newcomers, a timid yet relieved smile gracing his features, "Thank you s-so much for helping," he said quietly, "I w-wasn't sure how that was going to go.."

"Don't sweat it, kid! To be honest, I was not sure how it would have went if I had not helped you and your team." Gamora said as she pat Strom roughly on the back. "Anyways, what guild branch are you from? The Wycademy had not told me of any hunters in this area, so I am a little... Confused, to say the least." "Upset is more like it." gearoid said as he put the stake down, and ran up to his master, with oakris in tow.

"Oh, how rude of me. I am Gamora, and these two Palicoes are gearoid and oakris. We go everywhere together, and rarely do I leave them behind." Gamora said as the two cats nodded and bowed in unison. "Nice to meet nya!" the two said in perfect harmony. "I am oakris! I do not wear armor, because I am the World's Strongest!" she exclaimed as she flexes her muscles. Gearoid chuckles, and crossed his arms. "Your muscles are as big as your ego, sis." Gearoid said as he removed his helmet to scratch his ears.
"You are all in low rank? Well, I guess that's why you had so much trouble then. And you, Gunner, what is your name?" She asked, pointing at Varian.
