Chapter 3 : Meet the Carnivorous Pests
Ian hastily put his Gauntlet and Helm back upon himself and kicked open the door of the Library, the wooden jamb splintering with the force behind the limb, he looked towards the direction that the panicking ponies ran from and quickly spotted his prey, the large carnivorous raptor was charging through what looked like a marketplace, a pair of Jaggi following him and snapping at the heels of the fleeing equines.
The armored human quickly jumped to action swinging his lance ad sending a Jaggi flying into the side of a building, this quickly gained him the attention of the Alpha male, it growled and barked at him, but it did not faze him, the hunter had many slain Great Jaggi under his belt, the large frilled lizard let out it's warbling call.
What startled Ian the most was the reply it got, five more calls sounded back, one the same, but the other four made of two different tone variations, out from a few intersecting streets burst more monsters, one was another Great Jaggi and it's Jaggi entourage, but the others were slightly different.
The first was an orange variation of the purple Jaggi with a bulging purple sac around it's throat, this subspecies was known as the Great Wroggi, a variant of it's purple cousin that spews poison, each Alpha was accompanied by it's smaller brethren, simply known as Wroggi.
The third species was a dark blue color with an icy blue underbelly, it sported a Mohawk-like crest on it's head, this species, known as the Great Baggi, lived in the tundra and had it's own ability, the Baggi and their Alphas could spit globs of a chemical that could render the victim in a painless coma as the Baggi feasted on it's still warm flesh.
Never before had Ian seen all three subspecies in one place before, due to their usual habitats being so far between, being deserts, forests and the tundra respectively, Ian extended his lance as the six large carnivorous raptors and their inferior counterparts circled him, barking their own warbled cries at the hunter, he wasn't used to this many large monsters focusing on him at once.
But the calm before the storm of the predators circling their chosen prey was short lived as a small flying cyan blur charged for one of the Great Jaggi and kicked it in the face, as the blur retreated to Ian's side he recognized it as Rainbow Dash, he scowled from under his helm at the brash pegasus mare.
"Rainbow, that was a bad move, you just angered not one, but six large monsters, two of which spit poison and another two spit a numbing agent, not to mention the two smaller counterparts of each of them." he stated calmly to the speedster, whom was sporting a determined look, she looked to the armored hunter with a scowl.
"As if I'm going to leave all the glory of protecting Ponyville to you, besides, you need somepony watching your back while you are surrounded" she said, a fire burning in her rose eyes, Ian chuckled before glancing at the cyan mare.
"Try not to be left behind then Rainbow, because it looks like shit is gonna get real" the armored warrior quipped as he charged the nearest circling raptor, he slammed his lance into the side of the Great Wroggi's poison sac, a small burst of poisonous gas escaped it's jaws as it recoiled from the blow, just as quickly, Rainbow Dash unleashed a flurry of hooves into the Great Jaggi beside it, making the large raptor skip back a step as it barked in annoyance.
With that the combat began in earnest, Ian spun to block a glob of numbing agent spat by one of the Great Baggis as Rainbow Dash flew over a cloud of poisonous gas spat by the second Wroggi, as the remaining raptors charged and leaped at the duo.
Rainbow bucked at a Jaggi that leaped high enough to snap at her as Ian rolled out of the way of a lunging duo of Baggis, another pair of ponies decided to join in on the fray, charging at the larger monsters from behind before pivoting and bucking them.
Ian took notice of the brawl's newcomers, one was Applejack, with her iconic stetson, while the other was new to him, this new pony was bright red and much larger than the two lithe mares also participating in the combat, this new pony also had a more angular snout than any of the mares and wore a large wooden yoke around it's neck, sprouting out from between it's lips was a long piece of straw.
Rainbow Dash also took notice of the newcomers and called out to them.
"AJ! Big Mac! watch out for the orange ones, they spit poison! and the blue ones put you to sleep!" the brash mare called out as she whipped her hooves at the smaller raptors that were jumping and snapping at her.
"Thanks fer the advice RD! we'll keep that in mind!" Applejack replied as she dodged a snap from a Great Wroggi, the red pony simply replied with a deep, rumbling 'eeyup' as he stared down a growling Great Baggi.
Ian grunted at the onslaught of the Great Wroggi and Baggi upon his shield, he forced the large orange monster to back off with another smack from his lance, he growled at his ineptitude against multiple foes at once.
"Darnit! this weapon was never built for combat against this many monsters! i need my damned switch axe!" he growled, at that moment, a bright bust of light blinded him and his foe, once his vision returned, Ian was shocked to see his most powerful switch axe of the fire element.
In his hands he held the powerful Crimsidian switch axe, a powerful axe crafted from the parts of a Dire Miralis, with a grin on his face the armored warrior switched his axe into Sword Mode, adjusting his grip and stance as the weight of the blade shifted, with a powerful upward slice he sent the pair of smaller raptors flying into the air, with a powerful horizontal swing he cut into the poisonous sac upon the Great Wroggi's throat, bursting it apart.
Finally, with a powerful stab into the gut of the creature, Ian activated the explosive expulsion of the substance powering the powerful swings of Sword Mode, the pulses of power into the monster's gut quickly increased in severity before exploding violently, blowing the beast back and creating a sizable hole in it's bowels as the weapon switched back into Axe Mode.
One was down, but Ian knew that the fight was only just beginning.
Such interest. Much wow. Will follow.
4410657 4410778 wow, I go to bed and as soon as i wake up I already have more interest in this than i expected I really have low self esteem don't I?
4413340 you know, I could preread and correct the spelling mistakes for you. If that's okay
4415782 were there spelling mistakes? I thought i got them all *shrug* I may just have to start using google docs instead of rich text files if I need a prereader
4418593 Nonono....I was just saying if you wanted one, it's okay if you don't though. Also your OC, like the mane, fur color.....meh. (wow I sounded like a douche right there)
4421922 *whew* that's a relief, thanks for the offer though, if I feel the need I shall contact you, also, my OC is purple because I like purple *shrug*
4430326 okay then, see ya later then!
Maybe i am to fast about muy judgment but i like it and want to read more of the fanfic, but i think you should not lead them from one fight into another without a break. The three chapters are good i think
4431683 yeah, I think I went a bit fast with the GJ combat, but I needed some way for Celly to be alerted to his presence other than 'he's from another world'
Kinda the reason I don't write often, too much action, not enough filler *shrug*
4431731 well right now i like it
plz continue it, sry if i sound like a troll but, can you add like 10 chapters, the last about the Dire miralis, look it up if yooz dooz notz knowz
i like it... but finish it, and add a hunter i know, his name is sangaurian, he has volvidon armor x and is a G rank in 3 ultimate his fav weapon is the skysuderer, he doesnt fight anything unless he has his kelebi deer shot awakened with slime too. jus sayin
4452561 firstly, I am hoping to get it much longer than 10 chapters, and Dire Miralis probably will not be the final confrontation, Daren Mohran is a mh4 monster, hopefully by the point of his return, mh4 will be available in Australia and I can go much further
Secondly, this will unfortunately be a 1 hunter show, I am not confident enough to have more characters than I already have, and Ian is based off myself, so he is easy enough to write for
Thank you for reading it so far
oh, well, watch out for dat white fatalis!
4458186 oh duh, almost forgot, look up monsters and armors and weapons on the wiki for monster hunter, my personal fav is the stygian zinogre he is bad-fucking-ass watch this little thing *a stygian zinogre walks into ponyville* RD: what is that? Ian: a stygian zinogre..... RUN! ill handle it.....
4534209 'tis my story friend, and I know enough of monster hunter for almost every monster, admittedly, I have not been able to fight any of the G-rank monsters yet, but I know how to use a wiki, I hope you will continue to enjoy once I got more chapters out, but to let you know, we won't be staying in good old Ponyville forever, we might possibly be in another continent by the time we reach stygian
4535241 *facepalm* i feel so dumb. *whacks head on a random table*
