Cathe Village
Joss: I will prepare breakfast.
Isabella: Do you need any help?
Joss: If you want.
(He smiles at her. Arya quickly went to Bulwark's room and unlocked the door. She enters silently and approaches him.)
Arya: Bulwark. Bulwark wake up. Joss and Isabella!
(He opens his eyes a little and sees a blurry Arya)
Bulwark: Ar..Arya.. What? Wait...
(His protective instincts kick in)
Bulwark: WHAT ABOUT JAE AND ISA!!? Are they ok!?
Arya: Come, come.
(She pulls him silently towards the kitchen. In there, both helped each other cook, passing the eggs, butter, and steaks. It was a scene of a married couple. Once they finished, Arya stepped and showed a smug face.)
Isabella: B-Breakfast is ready! Come and eat before it gets cold!
Joss: Yo Arya! Go and fetch Bulwky for me.
(Bulwark sneaks up behind and hugs him while lifting him with ease)
Bulwark: Morning!! Hahaha Champ. Glad to see you fine and dandy.
(He lets him go and heads to the table)
Bulwark: Excellent portrayal and style in the meal. Looks delish. So, is everything alright between you two?
(He smiles as he awaits their answer. He looks at Arya and pulls out a seat for her.)
(Arya sits near Bulwark and keeps the smug face.)
Isabella: Everything is alright!!!
Arya: I heard noises yesterday...
Joss: You talking about yesterday? There were no noises.
Isabella: Right! There wasn't any!!!
Joss: Only Isabella moaning.
Isabella: W-W-WHAT?!?! NNNNO!!!
(Her face is flustered. She begins to hit Joss with her small hands.)
Lyra: It seems we are happy today.
(The crew is interrupted by the small cat.)
Arya: Things happened...
(She looks at Isabella.)
Lyra: I know. Don't care about it. I'm here for other reasons. There has been sightings of Sygma and his grotesque companions in Cathe.
(The atmosphere changed completely.)
Arya: Where?
Lyra: Verdant Hills. Also, hunters say they have saw both the Guardian and the Dragon. I have arranged a blimp to go directly to the village as soon as you finish your meals. Also, inside you will find the new armor and weapons that were made out of the Gammoth, alongside some provisions.
(Bulwark massages Arya's shoulders and bends forward to see her face)
Bulwark: It's our chance!!
(He sits down and starts eating immediately)
Bulwark: We'll be on our way
(For the first time, Lyra smiles.)
Lyra: That is more like it. You seem like...like a family. Be careful out there.
(She exits the house. The rest ate fast their meal and got ready. With all her armors, weapons and gears in order, they exit the house and went straight to the gate entrance. There, Lyra and M awaits them, alongside a blimp fully loaded. Some cats were moving the last crates in the flying ship.)
M: You made it.
Lyra: At last. Is everything in order?
Isabella: Yes.
Lyra: Well, I bid you farewell and good luck. Once you arrive, there will be some cats waiting for you and the Cathe Chief will tell you in detail.
Bulwark: Thanks for everything. Well make sure everything will be done the most gruesome and vengeful way possible
(He winks at Lyra and laughs)
Bulwark: Well get the job done.
(The blimp starts its engine. M waves her hand while Lyra turns and begins to walk away. On their way to Cathe, Arya sharpens her weapons, Isabella scans a map and Joss watches the place. After an hour, the blimp finally arrives at the village. In there, the Cathe Chief alongside 3 cats waited for them.)
Cathe Chief: Welcome, to the best village in Monster Island: Cathe Village.
Joss: We heard from Lyra--
Cathe Chief: Yes, the cat. We are in a dire situation. Already 3 of my hunters perished against the Guardian beast, Raizu. Only one survived, saying delusional things of a black dragon on a cave. Also...those bastards of Moderno are moving to the location.
Bulwark: Why would it be delusional? There are many things in Oamni that wouldn't cross my mind to doubt anything's existence. Some people that think like that are just naive or think that they are always right.
(He looks straight at the Chief and gives the cats a treat.)
Bulwark: Thanks guys
(The cats begin to play with the treat.)
Cathe Chief: It is, because there's not record of dragons actually existing on this island, although I believe they do. That is why I am labeled as an old man, and they want to get rid of me...
Joss: But they are real. We found the corpse of 1 in Drashea.
Cathe Chief: Really?! I knew it!! Ahem. I have cleared the area of any hunters and grant you permission to go and hunt the beast. But be careful. That Raizu is quite strong!
Isabella: Don't worry, we already took a Guardian down, and a Deviant.
Cathe Chief: You youngsters are really something. If my body was not so old, I would have accompanied you. But don't worry and get going! We will defend the village at all costs!
(They gather their stuff quickly and head out to the village's gate entrance. They go outside to the Verdant Hill, a place full of nature's blessings. Abundant flora and fauna can be seeing with just a gaze. The party moves around, towards the location Lyra and the Cathe Chief told them.)
Arya: Love place.
Isabella: Me too. It is so calm and serene. I could live here.
Joss: I don't. It is just too green. I prefer cities and the like.
(He makes some headphones and puts them on.)
Isabella: Again?
Joss: I feel comfortable with this, listening to some music.
Isabella: Just don't wonder too far.
Joss: Of course not, Mom.
(Bulwark looks around and takes a deep breath)
Bulwark: So where do we start, leader.
(Looks at Isabella)
Isabella: Well, it says that the dragon is in a cave, inside a mountain. We should find the highest mountain and try it.
(While scavenging, Joss looks at one cat that went through some trees. It was carrying what looks like an armor. Curious, he follows it.)
Joss: This could lead us to something.
(He thinks for himself. He changes what he is hearing at the moment. He follows the black cat into the forest, leaving the group behind. In its center lies the bodies alongside pieces of armors scattered everywhere in the place.)
Lacie: Scan says this people have died of high voltage attacks.
Joss: High voltage attacks? Oh, and please change the song. I don't like it.
Lacie: Caution! Beware!
Joss: What?
(While hearing his music he turns slowly to the sound of something in the vicinity. The creature walks slowly to where Joss is, making weird noises and glaring at the hunter. He looks slowly up at the creature. Electricity began to form on his wings and the atmosphere was filled with it, rising Joss' hair up. From one of the corners, another creature moved. This one was entire blue. The first one stands and shrieks, making an electric bomb that pushes Joss out of the small forest and into the open. He crashes with a tree.)
Joss: Guys...I think I found...the Guardian...
