Ian charged at the next raptor after the first fell, his cold remorseless helm portraying the feelings he felt towards the pests, he ruthlessly severed the heads of the remaining Jaggi and sliced a large hole into the side of one of the Great Jaggi, Rainbow Dash stared gobsmacked at the warrior from her elevated position, the bipedal warrior was remorselessly killing the saurian creatures that would lunge at him.
She quickly noticed a red glow upon Ian's right hand, an aura of eerie red power fluxuated with each strike, with a roar of his own, the armored paragon swung violently at his foes, Rainbow wondered where he had gotten his new red glowing weapon but was brought back to the present when an overeager Wroggi used another as leverage to jump up at her, she quickly kicked it back down with a well placed hoof.
Ian was feeling a rush of power with every swing, the power of his Challenger armor skill was sensing an enraged monster and sent him into a frenzy, the warrior enjoyed this feeling, especially when it was combined with the equally addictive power of the Adrenaline+ skill, with a powerful swing he severed the head of the Great Jaggi he wounded and danced into his next swing, sending the remaining Baggi flying.
Rainbow looked over to Applejack and her brother, each fighting one of the larger monsters, with a well timed duck, they caused the Great Baggi and Great Wroggi to swallow eachother's saliva projectiles, the Great Wroggi groggily fell to the ground after being hit with the sleeping agent and the Great Baggi's insides started to slowly liquefy due to the power of the intense poison it inhaled.
The large red stallion swung a powerful hoof into the side of the Great Baggi's head, knocking it unconcious, they then looked over to the frenzying warrior, they witnessed him severing the heads of the Wroggi just to get to the remaining Great Baggi, with a roar he quickly went into a powerful combo, swapping between the heavier Axe Mode and the sharper Sword Mode to quickly dispatch the blue raptor.
The mares were horrified at how cold the seemingly polite creature was when in combat, the warrior charged at the last standing creature, the last surviving Great Jaggi barked it's warbling cry at the blood covered biped, Ian replied with a roar of his own as he swung his weapon down upon the raptor's neck, with a wet impalation the head fell upon a nearby statue as the still standing body swayed before falling upon it's side.
With a bright flash Ian's weapon was once more replaced with his World's Demise gunlance as he placed the large folding weapon upon his back, he strode over to the two unconsious monsters lying beside the ponies that knocked them out.
He looked to the slowly dying Great Baggi and pulled his weapon back off his back, he strode to the side of the poisoned beast and skewered it through the skull, ending it's life, the armored warrior then kneeled down beside the beast, hands together in silent prayer.
However, Applejack was now furious towards the human warrior and stormed up beside him, she tapped him on the shoulder plate with a hoof and waited for the warrior to turn and face her, finishing off his silent prayer Ian removed his helm and looked to the farm pony, Applejack took this as a way of asking her what she wanted, so she started her rant.
"Now what was that fer!? The poor creature was incapacitated!" She sternly said to the six foot tall warrior, Ian silently sighed at Applejack's naievety and looked her in the eye.
"Applejack, that 'poor creature' attacked and possibly killed innocent ponies today, and not only that, the poison was slowly liquefying it's organs, I simply put an unconsious but suffering monstous creature out of it's misery, these creatures deserve no sympathy, if they were to continue their rampage, many would die, most, if not all monsters I fight have no sense of 'right' and 'wrong'" Ian explained to the angered mare, when these words sunk in she realized what she was trying to defend was not only a monster in appearance, but nature too, she looked away from Ian, disappointed with herself.
Ian put a comforting hand upon her withers, Applejack looked to the warrior, whom shook his head before speaking once more.
"I never expected that this world had seen the kinds of monstrosities I see daily at all, it was right of you to defend a creature you have never encountered or even heard of before" He explained, this gave Applejack a small smile, a small gasp nearby made us turn to the source.
Standing nearby was a very distraught Fluttershy, looking upon the raptor corpses strewn across the street, a tear welled up from her tear ducts, and before they knew it, she was flying in a seemingly random direction, a concerned Rainbow Dash looked over to Ian, wordlessly telling the warrior, whom was about to charge after the butter pegasus, that she would handle it.
Wordlessly Rainbow Dash flew off after her friend as Twilight, Rarity and a small purple and green bipedal reptile walked up towards the carnage, horrified at the sizable pile of raptor corpses lining the street, Ian could see the unspoken question behind Twilight's eyes, he decided he would answer it.
"A pair of Great Jaggi and their cousins ran through town, attacking ponies, I stopped them as is my job" the warrior stated emotionlessly, "Rainbow Dash, Applejack and the red stallion helped me defeat them, one is still alive however and I would reccommend binding it with your most powerful rope and placing it in a large stone cell if you wish to study it" He said, pointing towards the unconsious Great Wroggi, Twilight was still shaken up over the raptor corpses, then she asked the one other question he was expecting.
"W-why? why did you have to kill them?" the lavender unicorn asked, Ian looked towards the first Great Jaggi's corpse, the one housing a large cavity in it's abdomen, and sighed.
"Great Jaggi and their poisonous and icy cousins are ruthless, they never stop when they get a whiff of their prey, the only time they retreat is when they are gravely wounded, they are little more than mindless" He said, a slight edge to his voice, he glared at the headless Great Jaggi corpse, "I have seen many rookie hunters become gravely injured because they underestimated the enemy we face daily, Jaggi and their kin are by far the most stupid creatures we face, and a lot of rookie hunters make the mistake of thinking all creatures stupid" He looked at Twilight once more, she looked like she was thinking heavily about what the hunter was saying.
Ian started to walk towards the unconsious Great Wroggi and knelt down beside it and retrieved a heavy rope he used to bind monsters he was tasked with capturing and started to firmly bind the poisonous predator's jaws, claws and legs so that when it woke up it would not be able to escape, he sighed before looking towards Twilight again.
"I would highly recommend contacting the highest authority possible to come collect the bodies and the live Wroggi, best to dispose of the remains properly, also contacting the authorities would allow you to alert them to possibly more unknown creatures around the world" he said, the lavender unicorn slowly nodded in reply, the possibilities and revlations still running through her academically inclined mind.
"Of course, it would be best to contact Princess Celestia and let her know what has happened today" she said, trailing off at the end, Ian nodded slightly.
"I remember you mentioning that you are the personal student of a princess, must be quite a privelege to know the royal family on such a personal level" he stated, glancing over to the unicorn, Twilight blushed faintly.
"Well, it's nothing to brag about, but my elder brother is married to the Princess' neice, whom was my foalsitter when i was younger" she said bashfully, Ian raised an eyebrow as he removed his helmet.
"Nothing to brag about? I myself may be one of the highest ranked hunters on my world, but it is rare to have such connections to a ruling power" he stated, kneeling down beside the dead Great Wroggi, he grabbed a phial from his pouch and filled it with a small amount of Wroggi venom before stowing it away once more, he then moved over to one of the Great Baggi and repeated his action, filling a second phial with it's saliva.
He stood and looked over to Twilight, whom seemed to be writing a letter already, a quill and parchment in her telekinetic grip, scribbling away, Ian decided rest would be in order as he sat down, his back resting against a water fountain he did not notice during the combat, the water was dyed scarlet and the impecable marble statue of a large winged unicorn was splattered with blood, a constant stream of blood tainted water spraying from it's mouth and a Jaggi's head impaled on the horn.
