Sooo… yeah, I don't really know where I am going to bring this story, as it is a bit of an experiment. I'm fairly certain that this idea hasn't been attempted yet sooo, yeah. Also, yadda yadda monster Hunter belongs to Capcom or whatever yadda yadda
Oh a quick gear list, its all painted white
Dante's hair
Nergigante chest
Teostra gauntlets
Nergigante belt
Val Hazark greaves
Deviljho GS "Anguish" (not for long tho)
And a quick description of the main character, she is basically the default female character from the game, but with extremely bright purple eyes, and has white hair and is kinda pale
(LINE BREAK)
It's been a few months since the Xeno'Jiiva incident, and everything had returned to normal. Well, as normal as it can get on a multi-biome island infested with monsters. You may be wondering, where is the hunter known as the sapphire star right now?
She is hiking up to the Rathalos nest in the ancient forest. A week after she had recovered, she fought this rathalos. But something unprecedented happened
They fought to a standstill
There was nothing special about the beast, it was red and tan, it spat fire, had poison in its talons, but it had one thing that the others didn't, it had enough spirit to put a nergigante to shame. They kept running into each other, and eventually, they began to respect each other as equals. Soon it became routine, the star would walk to the area under its nest, it would show up, and they would fight. They both trained, wanting to beat their rival.
Back in the present, the sapphire star arrived at the area where her and the rathalos, who she had dubbed "the red lord" usually fought. But as she waited, she heard a roar from above.
a deviljho roar.
"Oh no…" she breathed and began to run up to the nest itself. Upon arriving, she saw the green beast is looking at a collection of seven rathalos eggs with red markings hungrily. Her rival on the ground and bleeding heavily. She had never seen rathalos eggs with red marks on them, so she came to a rather logical conclusion,
they were fertilized.
She grabbed a slinger bomb and shot it at the green t-Rex. The beast stagers, but recovers and looks back to the eggs it was about to eat, only to see a human with a greatsword made of its kin out in front of it.
"You won't touch these eggs! Or my name isn't Alexia Dragocorde!" The now named Alexia shouted at the brute Wyvern, not that it cared. The deviljho just snorted in amusement, thinking that this human was stupid to challenge it. Alexia threw a flashpod at it and charged, in the initial flash, She hit it with a vertical slash, then elbowed it as it recoiled from the bright light, she then swung the huge blade so hard that it threw her up when it hit the earth, but Alexia used the momentum to deliver an even more powerful strike to the beast's head, causing it to stumble to the edge of the cliff. She then shot a second slinger bomb at the Deviljho. The blast caused it to fall off the edge and presumably, it's death. Alexia placed the sword on her back and ran over to the red lord in hopes to help it. But stopped when she saw the faraway look in his eyes. She followed the rathalos' gaze to see what he is looking at.
The eggs
Alexia looks back to see the rathalos looking at her, a pleading look in his eyes, and she understood what his final wish was. "Don't worry, old friend. I will take care of your young, so long as I breathe, no harm will come to them." Alexia told the king of the skies. He appears to relax as he closed his eyes and grew still. The sapphire star pulled out a unique SOS flare, a gift from the Huntsman, saying that if she ever needed his help, use it. Alexia shot it into the air, it glowing an odd green instead of the normal red.
Fifteen minutes later, the Rathian-clad warrior flew in on a wing drake. "Alexia, are you alright?" He asked worriedly while walking over to her, thinking that she is harmed. "I'm fine sir, but these fertilized rath eggs need evac." He stopped dead in his tracks at the mention of the eggs. Only then did he notice the rathalos corpse and clutch of eggs at the sapphire star's feet. "Oh… I'll go tell the commander, he would be insane to refuse to allow you to raise those eggs" he spoke, to which Alexia nodded. "Please do, but tell the scientists this," her face grew dark and emotionless, a stark contrast to her usually happy attitude. "If they try to pop one open, or dissect one of them when they hatch, I will gut them." she finished coldly, she would be damned before those people slew her rival's children. The Huntsman only shakily nods and calls his wing drake to return to Astera.
(TIME SKIP)
It had been a few hours since the Huntsman left, and Alexia was still standing over the eggs, having started a fire to keep them warm through the night.
Stomp stomp stomp
Alexia grabbed her Great Sword and got in between the path to the nest and the eggs.
Stomp stomp STOMP
An anjanath rounded the corner, but this wasn't just any anjanath, the missing arm told her that. This was the tyrannical king, a high-rank target. Alexia ran down the path to hit it, but it suddenly swung its tail at her, causing her to go flying to the top of the path. It follows up with a charging headbutt, launching her to the far end of the nest, next to the rathalos body. The anjanath snorted, then looked at the eggs, and began to walk over to them.
'No! I refuse to fail the last challenge the red lord gave me! I refuse! I'm supposed to protect those eggs, I WILL protect those eggs!' the rathalos body bursts into fire and envelops Alexia and her sword. The anjanath stops and looks to the inferno that is now the hunter. The fire begins to subside, and it reveals Alexia, but not completely human anymore.
She now had a faded rathalos tail, highlighted by black. From her shoulder blades sprout twin black wings. The metal of her teostra gauntlets from the elbow down had shattered, replaced with faded black on red scales. The Val-Hazark greaves had also shattered from the knee down, also replaced by faded black on red scales and talons. A faded red crest came from the back of her scalp, twin black lines going through it.
Her greatsword was not spared of change either. It was no longer made of deviljho. The spine went all the way to the tip and was made of a myriad of different colored scales, red, green, blue, and pink, it was also highlighted with gold and silver. The blade was a midnight black, with orange flames starting at the edge of the blade. Alexia let out a deep breath, sparks coming out of her mouth, she then let loose a roar, the roar of a rathalos. She spits a fireball at the anjanath causing it to stager. Alexia then uses her new wings to fly up, then enter a freefall "DIE!" she screams as she brings the black blade on the tyrant king's neck, decapitating it.
"What. the. Fuck." Alexia turns back to the path to see the Huntsman, the field team leader, two fivers with bow-guns looking at her and a cart behind them, shell-shocked expressions on their faces.
"A final gift from the red lord, I guess." She said as if this was the most normal thing in the world, that might be because of the near-death experience, though. The Huntsman shook his head. "This… change can wait until we get the eggs out of here." right as he says that, the biggest of the eggs began to hatch, and a rathalos with red scales and yellow highlights popped out. It immediately looks towards Alexia. "A-are you my mother?" he asked innocently, causing Alexia to internally squeal. "Yes, my little one, I am your mother." She softly spoke to the newborn flame rathalos as she walked towards it. When she reached it, she sat down and embraced it. She turned her head to the other humans. "One of you should probably go back and tell the commander we have to stay the night. The heavy bow-gun user nodded and called his wing drake. "M-mother?" The rathalos hesitantly spoke, causing Alexia to look at him. "Yes, my child?" she asked him, looking at him with a comforting smile. "What is my name?" he asked, causing her to think for a moment before answering.
"Your name is Inferno."
(LINE BREAK)
So? How was it? And before you ask, no, she is not a trap now.
