Chapter 17: The Hunter
(David:)
David and Sora spent a hour trying to get everyone out of her room. Sora was laughing the whole time. 'Oh her laugh.' He would look at her and she would just smile back. In the end, it took Lucy, Theron and Risa to get everyone out of Sora's room. Then the trio filed out of the room. Before Lucy stepped out of the room, she turned and smiled.
"Have fun you two, but not too much fun. Oh and David, if you ever hurt her again, I'll kick your ass so much that I'll make the beating you gave Theron look like a slap on the wrist, okay? Have fun."
Then she closed the door, leaving him with Sora. He stepped forward to her and placed his hand on her cheek. He felt her shake from the feeling. He smiled.
"You don't have to worry about me hurting you again."
"I know. But you might want to worry about it though. Lucy looked like she meant. She sounded as though she would skin you alive if you do. She giggled.
He shivered at the thought. "Oh don't worry. I know. Who would have thought she could have hit so hard. Dang."
She laughed. "Let me guess, after she left from here, she came looking for you and she was furious. Then she found you and punched you very hard. Hard enough to knock you on the floor."
His eyes widened. "How do you know that?"
She smiled again. "I didn't. I figured that that's what she would have done. It explains why she gone so long. Besides, it wasn't the first time that she gotten angry. I'd say you gotten it easy."
"Why you say that?" He asked nervously.
"Last week at school, there was this big guy. He was hitting on me. He was very clingy. He was always this way. He tried it on all of the girls. I was his target last week. He tried flirt with me and I wasn't interested. He would stop trying. I still wasn't interested. Then he became agitated and grabbed my arm. I pulled away and pulled me back. Then he got kicked in the head by Lucy. As he hit the floor, she pounced on him and beating his face to a pulp. And all the while doing that, she said to him that he should've not mess with a friend of hers. She didn't get punished by the principal. He gave her a lecture and suspended him for holding a girl against her will. It scares me when she's angry."
"Uh...thank you Sora. You just made it a lot harder now. I need to be careful to not join him." He nervously said.
She laughed.
"Aww...you have such a beautiful laugh."
She blushed. "Thank you."
He thought of something. He want to find out if it's night.
"I have an idea. I would like to show you something, but I need to see if it's night yet and better yet, if the moon is up."
He steps away and walks out door. He walks down the hallway and looks for the nearest soldier. Instead, he runs in Theron.
"Hey, David. Done so soon?" He laughed.
He just grinned. "You know that we haven't even started. I want to show her something, but I need to see if it's both night and if the moon is out."
"I'll go check. You just go back to her. I'll come by to let you know." He smiled then walks away.
"Alrighty then." He rushes back to Sora. "Wouldn't want to leave a angel waiting."
(Sora:)
She went through her homework while waiting for David to return. She was trying to figure out a problem, when she felt an arm wrap her stomached. She could feel his breath hit the nape of her neck, making her sigh.
"Any news?" She asked with a sigh.
"Don't know yet. Waiting on what Theron finds out." David said.
She puts the homework on the table and pushes it aside. She then stood up and turns around to face him.
"I guess we can only wait." She said.
"Indeed. He said. Then he continued. "Is it true that you drew me?"
She nods. Then she went over to her notepad and picks it up. She goes through it until it gets to the pic. Then she gave it to him.
"Wow. This good. Very accurate. It's kinda strange. It looks real." He said as he gave it back.
"Well, I auto drew it." She said.
"Where you draw something unknowingly. It tends to be accurately better than if you focused on drawing it, because it comes directly from what you seen. It's as if your mind takes over to draw it." He said.
"Indeed." She said as she puts the notepad on the table.
She noticed that he was looking at her.
"What?"
"Oh nothing. It's just that when we were in that room where Theron almost killed you, that wasn't the first time we have met."
"It isn't?" She asked, confused.
"No. You remember when Lucy was at that book signing?"
"Yes?"
"And you remember the 2 guys that was with her?"
"Yes. The tall, big guy and a guy with blood red hair. Why?"
"You probably figured it out, but that big guy was John or rather Theron. As for the guy with blood red hair..." He steps forward. "...that was me."
She was taken aback. "That was you?"
"Yes. Or rather, that's what I looked like before I transformed into this. My hair was red. So was my eyes."
"Wait a minute. That guy who was Lucy and John, that was you? That transformation certainly changed you."
"Yeah it did. By the way, I should tell you. I have 2 names. David is the name they gave me when I came to Earth as a baby. My real name is Orion." He said.
"I see. Such a beautiful name." She said.
"I'm not sure how to take that." He hesitantly said.
She just laughed. "They're both good names." She said as she wrap her arms around him.
Just as they were about to kiss, they were interrupted by a loud knock.
"That must be Theron." He said with annoyance.
"Come in." She said.
Theron opens the door.
"It looks as though I interrupted something big." He grinned then continued. "Anyways, David, it is night and the moon is out."
"Perfect. Get some men. We're leaving." He said.
"Alright." Theron said. Then he stepped out.
She looks at David. He lends out his hands.
"Come with me." he said.
She takes his hand and they leave the room.
(David:)
They left the room and went to the elevator. They're met by 12 men. One of them he remembered. It was Riley
"I had a feeling that you may want to spend some time with your girl outside. So we decided to go and watch over you." He looks past them. "And it appears that we're not the only ones."
David and Sora turned around. They see Theron and Risa coming towards them.
"You guys are coming as well." David said.
"Of course. Who knows what will happen if we leave you two alone." Theron chuckled.
"Then let's go." He said.
They all get in the elevator and go up. On the surface, they give cloaks to David and Risa. Then they get in the SUVs and leave. It took them 20 minutes to get to their destination.
"You brought us to the location I first saw you." Sora said, playfully hitting him.
"What better way for me to show what I wanted to." He grinned.
They enter the very same field that Sora first saw David. They leave the SUVs and walked to the center. David looks at Risa and Theron.
"We'll be back in a few. Don't wait for us." He said with a grin.
Theron chuckled. "Have fun."
David summoned his wings. Then he motioned to Sora. "Come here Sora. Hold onto me."
She grabs ahold onto him. He lifts her up and flaps his wings. Then they soar into the sky.
(Sora:)
They flew over the town. The city lights make the town a little scary but peaceful as well. The air was colder than usual. The forest near the town looked a little dark and menacing, but the moonlight makes the canopy pretty. Then again, they were higher than normal as they were flying under the moon. She could see everything. But she tends to look up at the moon. David looks to her.
"Enjoying the view?" He asked, already knowing her answer.
"It's amazing. So this is how it looks to you when you fly."
"I like to fly when the moon is out. The moonlight makes the town look beautiful."
"The town does look beautiful. The moon makes the town look bright and beautiful. The moon did the same for you as well." She said with a sly giggle.
He chuckles. "I must say, this is probably my most favorite time of my moonlight flies."
"Why you say that?" She asked.
He looks at her and smiles. "Because I'm doing it with you. Because you are with me on my moonlight fly."
She blushed. She then leans in and kisses him. "And I'm glad to be here."
He smiles and kisses her back.
"Alright let's head back, we-" she stops him and points.
"Uh...what is that?" She asked nervously.
She was pointing at 3 incoming projectiles. They looked like missiles that have turret machine guns connected to them, but they look alienated.
"All shit!!!" He says as he dodges one. "Hold on tight."
(David:)
David dodged another one of the missiles. But had to keep dodging them. They had turrets on both sides of them. Even though he dodges the missiles, the turrets continued to fire at them. He had to dodge the gunfire and the missiles. This was suppose to be a good time for them.
"Hold on!" He yelled as he took a steep dive. The missiles followed suit. He pulled out the last possible second. In doing so, he was able to get rid of one of the missiles, since it couldn't pull up and detonated on impact. But he still had 2 after him.
They were close to the field. They then spot Risa flying towards them. She flew right past them and towards the missiles. She dodges the turret fire and, with her sharp claws, she slices the missile in half. She flew away as it exploded. 1 missile remaining. The missile still followed them. They headed towards the ground. Theron jumps up and changes into his actual form. He was holding a large sword.
Sora's eyes widened. "I didn't know Theron had another form."
"That's is actually his true form. The human form of his John. But this..." He points at Theron. "... Is Theron's true form."
David flew past him. He stepped in the path of the missile. He thrust his sword forward and the missile impacted it. The missile was cut in half and detonated behind Theron. David and Sora then landed. As did Risa. Everyone converged on them.
"That was the last of the missiles." Risa said.
"But where did they come from?" Theron growled, still holding his sword.
"I don't know." Riley said. "But we need to get back to base. We need-"
He never finished that sentence. His entire body fell forward. Sora cried out. One of the other men ran up to corpse. There was an arrow protruding from his head.
Then they heard a growl. They all turned towards the direction of the growl. Then they see a large creature exiting the forest, heading towards.
"Agh Damnit!!! It's a Hunter. Why the hell are those things here?" Theron exclaimed.
The Hunter had the head of an Raptor, and body of an alligator and legs of T-Rex. It was covered in large scales. Also, it had 4 arms. On it's back was a large mounted rocket launcher. In it's upper arms it held a bow and arrow. It's lower arms had 2 different weapons. It's right had a all around minigun. It's left had a large can with protruding metal on each side. A Laser cannon. Also, it's body was huge. It was as big as a T-Rex.
"What's an hunter?" He asked.
"A Hyronion Hunter to be precise. It is a large creature that is designed to hunt down anything it sees as prey. What's worse, they only exist on the planet.Seperntia."
"Let's worry about that later. Here it comes." Theron yelled.
The hunter charged. David, Risa and Theron charged at it. One of the men grabbed Sora and protected her. The hunter shot an arrow at Risa, but she dodged it. It's lower right arm fired it's mini-gun at David, who continue to dodge it. A clever distraction, because in a few seconds later, Theron dashed into its body. With a single swing, he severed it's right arm. The hunter growled in pain. It shot it's arrow at Theron, who caught in mid air and broke it. Then it charged it's laser cannon. But too late. Risa dashed from the side and severed the arm with her class. It grew angry. It then started firing missiles from the launcher on his back. Risa and Theron kept cutting them away. David's right arm began to glow. His whole arm was surging with power. He points his arm at the launcher. Then a blue beam of electricity fired from his arm and hit the launcher. The launcher was destroyed. A surge of electricity surge through the hunter's body. It growled again. In that moment, Theron charged. In the distraction of the electricity, the hunter was off guard. Few moments later, Theron swung his sword and decapitated the hunter. It's head hit the ground, along with its body.
"Risa, we need to get David and Sora back to the base." Theron exclaimed.
"Alright. Let's get out of here."
They grabbed the body of Riley, got in the SUVs and drove off heading to the base.
They arrive at the base.
"Everyone inside. We'll talk about this later." Risa said with a serious tone. They all entered the building. Inside they take the elevator and went down.
"Found you." A mysterious figure said.
A figure stepped out of the woods. It had lines all over it's face. And it's eyes are like Rattlesnake eyes.
"The invasion will soon arrive. This planet will be ours."
The serpentine warrior when back into the woods.
Uh oh. That doesn't sound good. What will happen next. Don't forget to vote or comment.
