MONSTER HUNTING She's been...returned?
Dane hugged Athena as if he hasn't seen her for decades. True, they were immortal now and time should not matter as much, but for Dane, Athena mattered more than anything. Radge Hawkers around them questioned their relationship. How has it grown that quick that fast? Although, one year or less was more than enough for two humans to fall for each other. Amidst crisis even, love always finds it's way to exist. "Uh...Lady Athena and Master Dane? Are you two dating?" Dane crushed his eyebrows together."You need a more vivid visualisation to make it look true? Here," Athena gasped right before the man held her face. He kissed her lips like there was no tomorrow. Men and women Radge Hawkers gasped even higher than Athena. "Dane!" After the kiss, Athena slapped his shoulder and looked around in embarrassment. Yet, she was happy. These people were like family for her. She's seen many come and train under many other masters, she's trained most of the masters herself. But the incident of la
MONSTER HUNTING Cremation of someone's arms
The scripture was ancient."Dane? Joule..." Athena strode towards them as she was panting."Tell me she is alright.""Her tissues are slightly damaged and needs almost simple recovery upon her waking up two weeks later. But she will be in pain. Her force may or may not heal her completely. We do not know, since it's still a theory." Athena looked down at her feet."Why are we so dependant on theories now?" She was questioning life as she stood in the middle of the bunker. A few seconds of silence later, Dane watched Athena take slow, baby steps towards April to Charlize's cryo tube. She was looking fine, covered in torn skin of her own and ice. It must be itchy and hurtful if she wakes up, thought Athena. Of course it would. She was under such a condition when she escaped the disintegrated portal, a void created for her somewhere between dimensions. "Those hands...they have a message, I hear. I can read Mesopotamian. Let me see it." Joule nods. "Do we have a camera, a phone which c
MONSTER HUNTING Finding the Contraguild
[17 days later after Charlize's return]It was unexpected from everyone for the woman to be returned through a reverse summoning. It was not as easy code to crack.Who did the summoning on her?Which realm was she in to be traced back to the exact same spot she was kidnapped from?What kind of bending or summoning were they using? Contraguild was full of mysteries to the Guild members now. But, after Athena and Dane confirmed Charlize was almost safe, the plan to rescue her was naturally taken down. However, the mission to find Contraguild's location still prevails. Upon further discovery, maybe Charlize's incident will open doors for trackers to track down the Contraguild's location. "They should be waking up tonight." Said Athena to Dane's back. The cool evening air hits his front while her warmth covered his back. "I don't know what I have to say to her.""Don't say anything.""But she's heard me apologize a thousand, billion times for not recognising her a-attraction towards me
MONSTER HUNTING Break-in mission: Failed
It was as if romance was made forbidden in situations like this...because it's heavenly addictive. Athena lift her head up to see Dane covering her with his body. The Contraguild had such a vast system of weapons to keep foreigners entering their premises. Even by mistake. And it was on Earth. Athena, upon looking up, caught the sight of her handsome lover winking. That boyish smile on his face made Athena blush, she loved the man too much. Pushing himself off the wall, he turned to look down on three Contraguild guards. His size intimidates them heavily. Dane didn't even draw his sword on them yet. 'Is this truly the power of the Contraguild? This feels like a trap. Why would they employ such ants to be crushed under our attack, even if they knew we were going to come to them one day?' Dane asked the force, in his head. 'This is not their true power. Like you said, Artemas, they must he planning on something big.'"I just hope it doesn't effect humanity." Saying that out loud,
MONSTER HUNTING Rest is important, for you and me.
There was a Lord for Contraguild as well. His name rings familiar to those who know him. He wasn't dead, nor was he trapped in a lie called ceasing to exist. As much as he longed to meet the only person he continues to live for, he has a great, great purpose.That's why he split from the manipulative lies of Dixon. He knew he wasn't alone, many objected Dixon's idea about the Guild and how effective it shall be when humanity is about to collapse.How effective will it be...?The existence of Guild. Contraguild was established to question the effectiveness of it. And it is questioning it, by all means since day one. However, Dixon is an unyielding man. He couldn't be swayed by anyone. His purpose and true and his resolve is even stronger. When the world will go against him, he will be ready to fight all of them alone, by himself. Coming back to the scenario where Dane Summer quietly sat on the roof, he looks at the crisp evening air of London. He's starting to hate this city. He's b
MONSTER HUNTING Dreams and Implications
"ATHENA!!" Dane's scream was so loud that it woke up everyone in the building. Makio Chen was awake and right outside the room, she burst inside with vigor just to see the sweating man on top of the mattress. Athena was gone outside, but her mind link with him was powerful enough to sense his perturbed soul. The lady rushed back to her room.'It was a dream...huh?''It was a divine message for you, Brat. I've seen it too. You now know whom to keep safe from an upcoming war.' The force replied.'How do you know that it's a war that's coming?' Dane questioned back.'The universe is giving you signs more than enough to convey the same. You should stop being ignorant anymore. Life is way more than just Athena and saving humanity for you now.' When the force speaks and goes back to sleep in his heart, his wide eyes meet Makio's and Athena's. "Athena, your life—" Suddenly, Dane stopped himself. When she tried reading his mind, he blocked her resonance out with all he had in him. "What ab
MONSTER HUNTING Trust no one from now on
Charlize stared at the six bodies in front of them. They were aligned in a line, heads down and naked. "What the hell are they doing?" She asked out loud."No. Wait. I sense something from them. It's nasty." At Dane's words, everyone grows alerted. He was able to sense it, thanks to his black force which has great insight on problems like this. "Don't tell me..." Athena watched in horror, as well as everyone else on the roof.Six bodies began melting, like hot molten lava. Five men and one woman were liquifying within each other. They were closing in, a sight so horrible to even look at that Joule couldn't help but start heaving, gagging out air. "What the fuck is happening?" "They're fusing together...like chimera.""What are they...?" Opposite to the feverish red message on the sky, the chimera formation of a huge monster like, glowing white creature was alerting Radge Hawkers on both sides. "Prepare yourself for a surprise. They won't back down without a fight. An apology with

"What do you think of Dane leading this mission? It could be a versatile guess, even a wrong one, but I get the feeling that we will fail this one too." Makio, Charlize and Athena all sat in the room while the other one - initially assigned for Charlize and Makio was being cleaned up. Who knows what kind of treasure of trash of the chimera might greet them at that point?"Charlize, stop bothering him. He's already in a state where he can't take a joke anymore. You know how he's blaming himself for the failures lately, right?" At Athena's words, Charlize rolls her eyes. She leans back softly,"It's his problem that he takes everything to his soft heart.""And you're right." Charlize jolted up from her position. The male's voice was booming out of nowhere as it made her hold her chest. "I do take everything to my soft heart." Dane came out of the steaming sauna like bathroom while being dressed. His hair was wet as his footsteps echoed through the room. "I'm just kidding. Well, I'll g

Old Man was murdered!
Seems like the Eliminator had noticed them! Upon seeing Alex and Dane rush up towards him, the monster shapeshifted into human skin bites its bottom lip. 'Why aren't we allowed to use our powers here again?' Asked Dane to Athena.'Because we don't want to cause panic within the audience. Besides, did i just hear that right? Old Man was murdered and was left to rot?''Yeah. That's the base of what Alex said. Besides, we're chasing it now. It's walking towards some little hallway. We hope we can catch up.''Right. Chadwick is coming your way too. Don't let the monster escape again. Even if we have to tear this place down with a fight, we will. That monster needs to be taken down at all costs.' Said Athena in their joint resonance.'Understood.' Replying to her instructions in unison, the group dispersed to corner the monster. To catch it and enquire a lot, lot things about it's species.'It's gone into the hallway. Dane has eyes on it.''You know it's going to disappear in a flash, rig

Old Man
"Might as well begin searching for him in the crowd if that's the case. If it can shapeshift...so should we. It's main target, is me." Dane concludes. Athena sighs as she tries to explain the situation to Dane."How do I know what is the real monster if I can't even sense it? This is a ridiculous job.""That's weird coming from you, Athena." Dane furrowed his eyebrows."Lady Athena seems different today. What happened to you, Lady Athena?" "Shouldn't I feel bothered that this monster is slowly becoming much untraceable and powerful than us? It's uncanny. It shouldn't be this way. Hunting is supposed to just...happen. All of this doesn't happen in Monster Hunting." Alex clicks his tongue at Athena's words."Well, welcome to the world of brains then. We use it to hunt, too." Dane wanted to laugh at how witty Alex had sounded. But he knew his own lover would be disappointed with him. Sulking in a corner and all."Whatever. Just let me know what are we doing to hunt this monster down."

Downgrading to trace
Dane was about to walk away when Athena quickly reached out for his arm. Looking over his shoulder, he spoke."I'm going to go there alone, Athena. No one can stop me. Not you either." "I know I can't stop you. He's got on our nerves for sure. But what you can do is let us on this mission as well. You, me, Charlize, Makio and Joule. Maybe Johan and Luke Crysalis too." "What about Chadwick?" Dane immediately enquired."Him too. Because we need to travel at the speed of light, to chase that monster down. Now, I know this monster looks like it likes to play games, but isn't that too much for a mere monster? I feel as if we're trying to hunt nothing.""You think it'll be an easy task because it's a bloody, low grade monster, Athena?" Turning around, Dane looked into her eyes. She nods softly."But weren't you the one who's told me 'never underestimate your opponents'?" "Right...thank you for humbling me." The woman was clearly annoyed. She walked past him while Dane lifts his head to l

"We've lost it! I can't believe we lost it!" Dane held himself back from punching or even stomping the ground for he could demolish the whole building, taking down the residents of it with himself. "You need to calm down, Dane.""The fuck I cannot, Dane. It's an important asset! A new kind that has become such a menace! You know how menacing lightspeed is yourself. And it's punches, it's fight is at least Athena's level."'Liz, I hope you're keeping track of where this monster goes, right?' 'You mean by seeing who it kills next? I'm keeping the face match on.''Okay. The moment you know it's killed someone...and drank their blood. Let me know. At this point, if it keeps killing monster hunters with powers, it'll grow undefeatable. I'm afraid even I—''What are you talking about? That's not the prophecy I know about you! Stop yapping like a child and come back here so we can send you back to where it'll attack next.''Yes.'"You heard her, right Chad?""Yeah. At times of dilemma, yo

A new Kind of monster
Furrowing his eyebrows, Dane didn't really get the signal from Dylan. Why would he need to a build a new counter attack in the robots if monster hunters were more than enough to end monsters?"It's simple logic, thick-skull. My warriors don't have resonances. Chimera do, not my warriors." Dane felt like the most stupid imp ever. Sitting down on the chair again, he questioned Dylan, yet again. "So what do you plan on doing with these?""Create stability. Some monsters could evolve to hide their resonances from us. But my warriors will distinguish them by their attitude. It's easier to find a monster in a crowd full of people than find a human in a crowd full of monsters." Dane jumped his eyebrows at Dylan Dian."That's very much true. And oddly...philosophical. Well, I give you permission to upgrade every single one of them and send them across the globe. Or do you test the prototype first?" "The latter, then the first suggestion. I'd send them without your permission or grant anyway.

Someone is fooling us
Around three weeks after the incident, the monster hunting headquarters was stable with minimal case reports recorded ever. There were barely any monsters emerging from the dead and deed. It felt...blissful."How many cases today?" To the beeping sounds of machines, Charlize asks as she sits over the cushion of a chair opposite to it. Munching on a small snack she could afford from a vending machine, she placed her legs on the desk and waited for the numbers to show up."45 since morning, huh? Well, it's evening already." Charlize then looked down at her lap."Or is this a sign that something big is coming, again? Like the calm before a storm?" "What are you mumbling to yourself there, love?" Dylan Dian speaks after hearing her from the distance. "Thank you for the tea, Dylan." The man chuckles at how she dismisses him. "It's not the calm before the storm. Trust me. This is...peace." Charlize stares into his grey eyes as he nods."Believe it or not. With the power we now have, mons

"Did you...hear her?" Holding the glass of champagne in his hand, Dane turned to the sound of her. She looked normal, but her heart was thudding out of her chest. Walking into his embrace as they view the ocean, breathing its mist, Athena waits for his response."I did. I am not shaken. This doesn't feel like new information for me. That power...it seemed alien in many ways." Explained he."I see. Even I couldn't...""Don't think about it, Athena. It's going to keep killing you until you finally realize how worthless you are.""You are forcing me to think about the same, Dane. Thank you for the word, too. Worthless." Athena scoffed. "But...don't you think we should start investigating?" "How would we do that if we can't even track where it has come from? The monster wouldn't open it's mouth even by a bit. It's...resisting every torture method, healing at the speed of light. No drugs work on it either because it isn't from earth. There are several earth element users who kept it locke

'So that is what you meant...alright.'He breathes calmly and runs his finger along the blade which glows black. The slash he made through the monster's chest defeated it, but it was kept alive. "I believe you are made of water as well. Let me manipulate your molecules to follow my command..." Dane's Force-Human form brought darkness to the clouds. His powers were...increasing. "I feel a nasty amount of Force oozing out of him. What did he do...?" Joule asked Makio Chen. The woman shook her head, having no idea of what she saw either. "I don't know what is going on, but it looks like Dane just won." Keeping his eye on the monster, Dane slowly turned his gaze to look at Athena. She just stood, recovered from her injuries as she stared at him. He flew towards her, slowly getting his human self back."Hi..." he slowly uttered to greet her yet again. They've been apart for a few days, but it felt like an eternity. "See. Like I said...it's just the beginning. This thing inside me...it

Revelations
The monster turned around, having had a layer of its back blasted off by Dane. It smirked, looking at his levitating figure with amusement like no other."So you are finally here...""Yes. I am. You called me here. You summoned me here...by hurting the people I love the most.""Oh? Her? You're talking about this...wimp?" Dane glared at the monster who picked up Athena again. The poor woman was already in pain, her muscles and bones shifting to recover. The monster crushes her again, almost bursting her head off. Dane couldn't tolerate her blood curdling scream. He went straight into the monster's face!However, the monster's speed was such a menace...even for him! 'This is bad...I can't risk getting you to take my form either. You don't have enough energy yourself.''You're a fool if you think I can't grow stronger. Did you forget I am literally a part of the universe? Let me stay still for a while, I will absorb some force for you.''You...can do that?''When I'm in shape myself,
