Hunting the Beast [Closed]

Vega listened to Malina talk about her plan but his labored breathing made her a little hard to hear. He holds his hand up signaling to give him a moment to catch his breath. After a few seconds Vega fixes his tie and looks back to Malina. "We need to distract it from two different different directions. You stay in the tree while Muzen and I tire it out. When we bring it back toward you, jump on its back. It will be tired but it will still be a very bumpy ride. It's the only plan I can think of."

Vega jumps down from the tree and moves the Strings of Fate around him. "Muzen we have to get serious this time." Vega notices the Porusk is staring at Muzen. "The beast seems to have targeted you, don't get killed. I will try flanking it from the right." Vega's wires begin to move more violently and start to form thicker sets as he prepares to attack the Porusk.  As soon as he is satisfied with the strength of the wires Vega darts away from Muzen and arrives at a spot near the Porusk in it blind spot.

Sylvian has come, maybe it was abit late, cuz when she arrived at the meeting point Vega gave her, the battle has already moved away from that spot. It took a long time for her to follow the traits. What in front of her is a chaotic battle between a group of Huntsmen and an enermous Grimm creature. She finds Vega among the Huntsmen group, setting a wiretrap to entangle the beast. The others are a girl (with scorpion tails) standing still and plotting something, and a flying-man (for real?) distracting the beast without any real result.

"Guess I'll do it my way..." Sylvian engages her combat mode with Impala Gracia in shield-form. She unlocks the dust valves on her armor and starts to unleash her aura along with the dust. This should catch the attention of everyone without the noticing of the Grimm creature since they cannot sense aura or alike. "C'mon Vega, catch my aura."

Vega had been on  guard making sure nothing around him was changing hoping to keep the defenses up. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a strange change in scenery which draws his attention, its Sylvian the girl he befriended earlier. He quickly waves to hear to signal he knows she is here while returning his attention back to the Porusk when a thought crosses his mind. I forgot to tell Malina...this may not end well.

The Porusk lowered itself so the blade instead cut through the side of it's body, however the beast's thick fur wouldn't allow it to become too deep. It then turned and pounced toward Muzen with it's razor sharp claws extended and showing off it's rows of teeth.

All the while Malina stood in the tree, waiting for the Porusk to pass under her. Something was wrong though. Something was there that wasn't supposed to be. There was something...She looked around the clearing until she spotted the anomaly in the field. A silver haired woman stood at the edge of the clearing ready to attack the beast. To Malina it appeared as though it was another huntress come to steal her job and reward. She wasn't going to let that happen. SHe checked Summer's Blaze and reloaded both before firing to rounds, an ice and electricity round respectively, at the woman's feet as a warning.

"Watch where you're looking Muzen!" Vega turns toward Muzen as the Porusk charges toward him and the tree Malina is in. He sends his wires in thick sets and wrap them selves around Muzen making sure not to damage his wings. Who flies head first into a tree! Vega pulls as hard as he can on the wires and is able to bring Muzen toward him and away from the Porusk before it hits the tree. "Malina its your turn." Vega begins to unwrap Muzen while breathing heavily. "Where...were...you..looking?"

Malina looks between the Porusk about to hit the tree she stood in and the girl standing at the edge of the clearing. 'Shit.' She quickly holstered her weapon and jump off of the branch as the Porusk slammed into the tree and toppled it. She aimed herself to land in between the two shoulder spikes and as she landed on its back she wrapped her arms around the base of the spikes and held on for her life.

The Porusk began stomping and shaking its back as it realized there was a human on its back. It slammed into another tree in an attempt to get the pesky annoyance off of its back before it noticed another human by the edge of the clearing. It lowered its head and began to charge forward toward the unknown menace.

"Try to keep it calm! Scorpion girl!!" Sylvian yells, as she realized the situation is turning worse. She quickly charges in with her destructive dash and takes the Porusk head-on before it can go into rampage.

"I don't know if I can hold it for long... Do something Vega!!" Sylvian holds the Porusk down with both of her Impala Gracia pierced into the skin of the beast, releasing dust non-stop to maintain her strength.

"I got it Sylvian!" Vega rushes over to the Porusk, releasing as many wires he can muster. Most of the wires are made into his thickest sets and are attached to trees to hold the beast down. He saves a few wires and keeps them at their sharpest while wrapping them around one of the Porusk's legs. "Let's see how hard you can push on three legs!" Using all his strength to keep the Porusk down and applying pressure to its legs Vega is able to slice through the leg severing it from the body. The Porusk falls to the ground not be able to balance itself on only three legs along with the pressure of Vega's wires.

With the Porusk on the ground Malina took the chance to cycle through the chamber on Manticore until it stopped on her fast acting poison. Manticore quickly jabbed itself into the back of the beasts neck and injected the purplish blue liquid into its body before Malina jumped off it's back and onto the grass to watch it die.

The Porusk felt a sharp jab into its neck and let out a loud yelp...or as close to a yelp as a Grimm could get. It struggled to stand upright so it could crawl back into its cave to die in it's own home but ended up flailing its two remaining legs as the poison set into. In it's final moments the movements slowed down and finally stopped. Now shortly afterwards the beast began to dissolve into smoke and rise into the air leaving blood stains and its weight imprint on the grass.

Malina breathed heavily for a moment before catching her breath and turning toward the unknown girl. "Who...the hell...are you?" She asked, slightly annoyed.

Sylvian, breathing heavily as she's almost exhausted from the strength boost earlier, tries her best to keep her stance, until the beast completely stopped. She disengages her shields, walking toward Vega and the rest of the team.

"Vega... asked me to do this proposition yesterday..." She's still in the catch of her breath. "The name is... Sylvian Silverhorn." And turns her head toward Vega, asking for a little bit of introductions.

After the whole ordeal of keeping the beast down and cutting its leg off Vega was exhausted his breath was ragged. Seeing Malina move toward Sylvian he remembered he forgot to mention Sylvian to Malina and Muzen. He moved over as quickly as his body would allow. "Malina this is Sylvian. I met her the other day at the gym and asked her to help us." Vega turns to Sylvian having caught his breath. He fixes his suit as best he cans and gestures to the others. "Sylvian I'd like to introduce you to the team here we have Malina our leader and the one who flew into the tree is Muzen."

"G'day? G'day!?" She says with a brief, angry, glance toward Muzen before looking at Vega. "Why did you think we needed someone else!? We did fine on our own as a team! We don't even know who she is, let alone without telling your teammates!" Malina rants on, obviously angered. "How are we supposed to share the reward with her, that RV was for US not some b.....person we've never met! We didn't need her help. In fact, she didn't even help at all!" She turns her head back to Muzen for a moment. "And you 'lover boy', You coulda gotten yourself AND myself killed because you were too busy gawking at her!" She said, finally turning her head to the person in question with the last word.

"RV or what, it's none of my business. I'm here only because I want to keep my words with Vega, not because of some reward I didn't even know about." Sylvian stands up, face-to-face with Malina, with the usual cold and piercing eyes. "Yes, I did put you guys in danger, but what if I wasn't there? Riding on a gigantic creature of Grimm is a great idea? What if your poison, or whatever you were using, didn't work as planned but instead anger him and make him go rampage?" Then she point her finger at Vega and Muzen: "What if I didn't hold that gigantic beast long enough for Vega to take it down? And flying? Does it even make sense when you cannot bring at least minimum damage to it?"

Looking at Malina's eyes of tempered for a while, Sylvian signs, and turn around. "That's what I was trying to tell you Vega, I'm not the type of working as a team. You can come to the Arena if you want some sparring, but I'm done here. Don't ever ask me to team up with anyone else." And so, she heading back to town, without a single turning back.

Had Vega not been tired he would have run after Sylvian to apologize but he knew he didn't have it in him. Instead he made the mistake of turning toward Malina to let out his aggression. "Malina she was trying to help, which she did. I'm sorry I messed up and didn't tell you but she helped us and you could have at least said thanks." Before Malina could answer Vega turned away looking at his pocket watch. "We should go and get the reward before it gets late." He started to walk panicking a bit at his stupidity for not telling his team mates and for getting mad at Malina.

"I would've said thanks id she had actually helped!" She says as Vega walks away. She then looks up at the sky and begins to follow him. He was at least right about not being late.... "Come on Muzen......and flying is useful..." She said somewhat quietly.

Muzen cracked a smile as he follows Malina. (lazy post)

As the group eventually made it out the Emerald forest before taking a bus to the location listed on job board. As the approached the door to the small home with an RV in front Manticore swung around in front of Malina. "I uhm....I probably shouldn't be the one to claim the reward." She said letting Muzen and Vega step in front of her.

Vega walks up to the door and knocks. "I have no problem with that. You did find us the job and you are the leader." He takes a quick look at the RV. "The RV actually looks better than I had anticipated."

An old, kind looking woman opens the door. She wears a purple cowl wrapped around her entire body and has dulled purple eyes that stick out from her otherwise white skin and hair. "Yes....hello?" She asks the man at her door.

Vega smiles as the old woman greets them. "Good Evening, Ma'am" Vega makes a small bow. "My name is Vega Anansi, we are here about your job listing. We are proud to inform you that the beast has been dealt with and will never hurt another soul." 

The woman's old mouth curled into a smile as she reached her arms out and hugged the man in her doorway. She soon let go and turned her back to the three to call inside. "Henry! Henry come here!" She yells, or at least as much as she can at her age, into the small house. A man soon approaches the door. He appeared to be the same age as the woman with significantly less hair and wearing a tattered shirt. "Who are these....." The man asks. The woman turns to him and grabs his hands. "These are the children that killed the monster that took our Granddaughter from us!" She exclaims. "Oh! Ohohoh!" The man looks to Vega. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Despite his personality Vega couldn't help but smile as the elderly couple seemed so happy. Vega makes another more formal bow. "It was our pleasure to help. We live to make the lives of others better by ridding the world of Grimm."
