Monster(Hunter)s and Aliens (Uzma/Open)

This world was so strange and new. You had these strange carnivores that people fed themselves too and the monsters ran very fast. Zell was so confused, what was this land and why had people resorted to stepping into these fast carnivorous beetles? This was unacceptable, there was no rhyme or reason for why they did this! "Nya! Look!" A little child-like voice piped up from behind him. The Hero of Pokke turned to find his companion, Sota a small (anthropomorphic) cat stood and pointed to one of the strange carnivores rolling up, and four wings sprawling out as people exited. The strange fast creature let the humans go? This was puzzling and The Hero of Pokke was not able to add everything up quite right. Thank the gods for little Sota whom seemed to catch on to the mechanics of the metallic creatures. "I think they use them as a means of transportation!" Sota said his little voice filled with wonder as his big blue eyes sparkled and he looked upon the strange metallic beasts. The Hero of Pokke was still so confused, they used these creatures as a means of locomotion, or so the little cat theorized. To this Zell closed his eyes and sighed. He was in a foreign place, unlike any place he had ever seen.

   "Sota. We have need of such monsters. Their speed will make it better for us to chase down Velociprey or a Kushala Daora. Do you know of a way we could tame such a beast?" He asked, his voice authoritative yet somehow suave enough to be non-threatening or non-commanding. Sota seemed to snap from it's trance and blinked at Zell and looked back to the car before looking to Zell and smiling, revealing two pin-pointed teeth and a w like smile as it held up a thumbs up and trotted off to a yellow and black checkered monster with a small glowing tent like attachment at the top. The small cat dove into the unmanned drivers seat and looked around, pressing all forms of buttons. Music turned on and there was a loud screemo music, which forced The Hero of Pokke to cover his ears and snarl as Sota frantically began hissing as if believing he had angered the monster. Sota pressed the button again and the music stopped. Sota looked to Zell, and Zell to Sota before Sota pressed the button gain. He repeated this process until Zell stopped him and they returned to trying to figure out hoe to make the beast move. With the twist of a strange metal lever the beast roared and then purred. Sota gave his Cheshire smile before adjusting the lever and placed his foot on the peddle, letting the beast roar once more before it lurched forward. Sota fearfully put a foot on the break and the car began to squeal, and then change before squealing, alternating between gas and break. Sota grabbed the little wheel and The Hero of Pokke gave directions, but soon Sota was driving, and oncoming cars were blowing their horns as Zell such his head out the window, long black hair flowing behind him.

   "Sota, I think these beasts recognize I'm a hunter. They are making sounds at us." The Hunter said as he looked and blinked, Sota still trying to grapple the wheel. "C-can't see! Losing the wheel cap'tn! Nya Nyyyaaaaaa!!!" Sota sounded out as the car began to swerve and took off into an alleyway and crashing literally on it's way in. Bag erupted from the beat's interior softening the blow to the hunter, Sota was crushed beneath the car however. Zell opened the beast's wing and rolled out before coughing and trying to catch his breath. Suddenly, Sota popped out from beside the beast as well, tucking in his armor and then staggering out and falling, it's tongue lolling out as it lay next to Zell twitching. "I-I feel like I got hit by a Yian Garuga~" Sota said, The Hero of Pokke just lay there as several men of dark skin and light skin gathered around with cloth's on their head and their leggings unsecured.

  "Yo dawg why you crashing into our territory!? You tryin' ta hit me or somethin'!?" The one man yelled. Zell rubbed his head and sighed. "Seriously dawg... the popo ain't gonna save you here!" The man said. Zell looked to him and cocked his head to the side. He somehow imagined a Popo coming to his rescue. "First of all I am not a Dog, I am a person. I would never bring a Dog while I have my Felyine Companion with me." Zell said pointing to Sota. The men all looked at it, some even poking Sota with their foot. "Dafuq is dat man!?""Is it alive? Is it breathin'? Zell then stood up with a groan. "I would also like to point out that an herbivore such as a popo would not likely be effective in assisting me." Zell then removed his sword from his back to inspect it for damages, warranting several guns to be drawn. Of course...he had only seen Bow-guns. These were unknown to him and he had no idea of how lethal these things were. "Yo man, put it down!" The man demanded, Zell just blinked. As a monster hunter he was not going to disarm himself, and he had no idea what was going on. He shook his head, and a shot rang out. Pain racked Zell's side. Pain prompted reflex and the large ass katana lashed out, aimed on removing the head of the dark skinned man who had shot him. But his Katana just slid, his eyes narrowed as he realized some strange force prevented his blade from penetrating. With a hiss Sota shot up and looked about lurching and attaching himself to a man's face. The man flew back as Sota dug his kitty claws into the mans face and began maneuvering him back and fourth. Panic broke out all around as one man had been beheaded and a cat was not face-hugging a man who was shaking back and fourth to try and free himself of the kitty's claws. Zell would require all of his focus and the use of all of his training, as he tried to play "keep away" as he moved down the alleyway, holding his side, gripping into his pouch.

That hurt mroe than it should have. Zell looked to his blue guild armor and noted that the bullet gave the armor sufficient damages, and then further more his own natural durable body had been slightly pierced. Had he not been so close it likely would not have affected him as such. He took the incredibly long blade in hand and turned to look and see if anyone had been pursuing him. He would not have thought to look to the skies, as a Hunter he was not typically the one retreating. It would not bother him that he needed to fall back, he was poised and disciplined. He withdrew from his pouch a little vial of green liquid and threw his head back and downed the substance as he pulled out the little bullet. As per the tradition of how things worked in his world, when you drank the potion it would only work if you flexed. He found it to be stupid, but it wouldn't work otherwise. He brought his arms up and a green healing light circled around him from the ground up and he let his arms down. The long dai-Katana spiked with bone and machalite ore.

"What's gotten into you Shark?" The Hero of Pokke asked his blade. While it was true Zell had never claimed a human life, he saw no reason to not defend himself against a man who would use such a loud device to harm his side. Though he was in fact curious as to what that was. The little bullet in hand he reasoned it looked JUST like a miniature bow-gun capsule. This was strange indeed. The little capsule didn't break apart, it did not have a little arrow within it. "This is not elven craft." Zell murmured as he discarded the object. Quickly he reached back into his little satchel and began rooting around for the small piece of parchment. Upon apprehension, he withdrew he map and smiled to notice Sota scurrying towards his location. They would likely need to leave as soon as Sota arrived, to prevent these other strange men trying to do them further harm. Zell turned when he heard the trademark noise of the Felyne people. that annoying "'nya" noise as if it were panting while it ran on all fours. "ZEEEELLLLL!!! NYA!!!!!" The smiling cat leapt and attached itself to Zell's face this time, but scurried it's little butt around to simply be sitting on his shoulders. Zell staggered and growled with irritation as he reoriented himself. Knowing Sota he didn't do much fighting after the distraction method, which was fine. Zell was in a bad situation, he had the alleyway the men were no doubt coming from, and then he had one other way he could run down. He hummed for a moment, an idea popping to mind. He turned and took off, placing the dai-katana back on his back as he took off for the other alleyway. At the very edge, a step or so in he withdrew a trap-tool and dropped to his knees placing it down and spreading out the little silver place holders. The device locked in place an a little electricity shot through it.

"Shock-Trap down." Zell said to himself, force of habit really as he walked through it and the current picked up. Reaching back into the satchel he would shuffle around, withdrawing a sphere. He had spent his entire life doing this. This WAS his life, ever since the Ancestor Dragon took his life away from him. He knew exactly where everything in his satchel was. This was no situation at all. The small red sphere in his hand had a little push-in point, to which Zell did. Once the men stepped within a 10 foot radius, they'd be shocked. Enough for a temporary paralysis effect, not enough to electric-chair them or anything.

His intent. Get them into the trap and throw this red sphere, a.k.a a Tranq bomb. The sphere would shatter and a soothing blue mist. Generally it took two, but those were only on the strongest of people and the greatest of monsters. If they actually went into the trap was dependent upon if they made their way uninterrupted. Zell wished to end this with as little bloodshed as possible, despite his actions prior, though reflexes are reflexes and it was not as if he could help reflexive movements. He was used to fighting monsters after all, not men.
