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
"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."
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
On a clear Monday morning, a regular office-goer was returning from his home. He took the other lane than the normal one he used because of a strange caution sign up ahead on the road. He was unlucky, because he was the only one traveling to this side of the city. And the poor man had no personal transport for himself. In this generation.Dane Summer swore to never take another high-class job like his previous one. He was a failure with his polytechnic start-up company, and was forced to be a punctual, regular seat warmer at his new company. But as a mere employee this time. Dane never saw any future ahead of him, until today.A mirage for a figure was running towards him from the valley-like lane. It was a hilly area, and his legs hurt to walk up this one slope alone. He watched the man's shaking figure through the hot evening air and looked around.Why was the street so silent? It's almost eerie!Creeped out of his skin, Dane Summer realized the man running towards him...wasn't 'norm
Dane walked to the funeral home as the man he encountered today told him to. The idea of something existing amongst humans pushed Dane to follow the scribbled down letter like a fool. Reaching the funeral home at the head of the hill, he looked around, trying to ease his tension. It was foggy. It was dark and haunted.Suddenly, Dane hears the noise of bone crunching. It was similar to the sound from rustling leaves…but only more precise to bone fractures.Because he could smell death and blood from over his shoulder. He dared to turn around.Only to see…Five monstrous transformations feasting on a dead body!And the dead body…even with the face chewed out, he could make it out who it was!IT WAS THE MAD MAN WHO GAVE HIM THE LETTER! Dane sprinted out of the funeral house with his life in his hands! The monsters noticed him, and started chasing him as well!But as soon as Dane ran past the gates of the funeral house, the monsters disappeared! Not even their shadows were left behind!
Panic.Panic spreads all over his body when he hears her gruff voice. It was as if a soul had taken over her body. Ruth looked exactly like a possessed demon, like a monster and her aura shifted to something superficially sinister. Who is possessing her!? Or even better- What was possessing her!?Dane couldn't believe his eyes either. Ut was as if the thin line between reality and fiction has disappeared and the memories will forever clme to haunt him in the worst ways possible. 'This can't be, right? Ruth and I...we have so many plans together. I want to spend my whole life with her, rare a family with her...''All my middle class dreams end with the sight in front of me. For I can never let myself marry a monster."A blood curdling scream leaves his mouth when Ruth pounces on him. Her claws almost get him under her vicious grip. She was close to having him as her next target!Charlize was shaken too, but it looked as though Charlize was coming up to make a hard decision. But Dane
Sick and battered, Charlize carried Dane's weak butt around while tailoring a perfect story to come up with. However, their perfectly unified story is capable of fooling anyone, but not this city's police officers. Passing by the hospital, claiming for an emergency, Charlize began her act. It was all pre-planned, and now they only had to act.Although half of the acting was real since they were truly mourning for the loss of Ruth. Especially Dane who didn't understand an ounce of what was going on around him. The poor man was another traumatic trigger away from going insane."Whoa," The receptionist screeched at their battered appearance. Not many people walk themselves to an emergency 24/7 hospital unit very often. And the situation was made worse when he sees blood on both of their clothes.The receptionist was a man working late at night. He immediately dialed the emergency doctor and nurses to check into the situation. The squad came into the lounge within a minute. He also speed
Serving Dane a cup of hot chocolate, Charlize sat beside him on the couch. She was trying to keep things together, when all were falling apart. "Did you know Ruth was a monster before you were friends?" Dane asked, after blowing on his cup gently. Charlize nodded her head as he scoffed."That's why it was so easy for you to kill her. Didn't it mean anything to you, Charlize?""Like I said, Dane. My duty overpowers the need for friendship and love. My duty—""Fuck your duty!" Dane threw the glass on the ground, spilling hot brown liquid everywhere. He rushed to the other room and locked the door. As if even electricity wanted to give up on him, the lights are turned off by a power cut. "Just great." He mumbled to himself, his left elbow bent over his forehead. 'Ruth…you were my everything. Whoever did this to us…deserves retribution. Even if it is the creator or the destroyer of worlds. I'll seek vengeance from whoever took you away from me.'Dane cried for a few minutes, uninterrup
