As I lay there about to die something comes from out of the sky. A nightmare ends up underneath a giant boot blood squirts everywhere. Shane Mccormick a famous hunter know for brawling appeared in front of me. "Hey kid you alright" he says to me. I can't move due to the venom but he can see I'm still alive. He turns towards the nightcrawlers cracks his knuckles and head straight for them. I can only watch as he starts to take them out one by one with ease. I feel something prick my neck then I can feel my sense of touch returning to me, I turn my head and see a women sitting next to me with a trauma pack. Another famous hunter the medic of her group Eve Rogers is injecting me with a cocktail of adrenaline and anti venom.
"Can you move" she asks me and I nod
She puts my arm around her neck and she picks me up to take me away from the fight to patch me up..
"What were you thinking" she asks me
"I was thinking I could thin them out a little to make your jobs easier." I answer
"That was brave but foolish you don't have a rank or even the gene to do it" she says scolding me.
"I agree but I don't regret it" I say
She scoffs and starts bandaging my wounds.
"We have to cover these or else they will get infected and it will kill you. she says cleaning and dressing my wounds. As she doing this I hear something coming close to us but she is too focus to notice it. A nightcrawler that has broken from the pack jumps to attack I see the gun on her holster and reach for it pull her close and fire six times hitting it in the body with each shot. I sighed and let her go dropping her, she wasn't shocked or even scared about the whole attack.
A few minutes later someone came towards us, now that I wasn't too numb from the venom or the pain I could finally see details. It was a tall slender man named Dakota Martin another famous hunter he was a ranger using his bow and throwing knives. These three were seriously top tier of the Gen six pretty much setting the bar. Not only were they powerful they were respected throughout the world I didn't think they would come to bail us out of this issue. Dakota came up to us his blonde hair was tied back into a ponytail his grey-green eyes piercing my gaze.
"How is he doing Eve" he asks
"He's fine but stupid* she says coldly I barley realize the scars on her neck against her tan skin but obviously from her short black hair she's not really hiding it.
"That means you did a good job kid don't listen to her that's just how she is" Dakota says with a giggle
She shoots a glance at him that just screams go to hell, Dakota just plays it off. Eve started asking me questions standard ones of course what's my name,how old I was, and what I was doing out here in the battle field.
"I'm Roxas, I'm 17 and I'm...." I start when someone barges in
"Well I think it's you that is paying for dinner today Eve." say a big guy who I can tell is Shane.
"Hello I was helping a civilian" she said
"Well I guess that counts as five categories so you are just one point shy of Dakota's score so again dinner is on you" he said
"Yes sir" she answers with a hiss
"So who's the kid" he asks
That's when all eyes fall on me and I start to explain the whole story from the beginning.
. . .
"hmmmm we need to take you back to the council with us after all of this". said Dakota
"agreed" Eve and Shane both say
I can hear a bunch of people talking, I think that more hunters showed up to escort people home and sweep the area for any stray categories.
"we need to get picked up" Dakota said on HUD to some outside personnel.
"They might like that we are bringing someone with us" Eve sighed
"Doesn't matter we need to debrief them and the only person accountable is right here." Dakota said
"So in other words we have no choice Eve" said Shane
Not even a few minutes later a viper showed up and we head towards that way. A viper is an attack/transportation jet super fast can move sideways and can shoot in almost every directions. Sitting in there between Dakota and Eve, I felt out of place except for the blood over me. Shane was where the pilot was giving an order from what it looked like. My body still feels kinda numb so I just sit there, Eve looks over at me and says "your adrenaline rush must be wearing off your body is gonna feel some soreness for the next few days." It almost looks like she is smiling from where I was sitting but I don't think she has ever smiled before.
"The council has been informed that you are here and would like to have a word with you "
I couldn't tell if he was asking nicely of it or annoyed. The next few minutes felt like hours as we headed towards the council maybe because I fell asleep from all the action and adrenaline finally running out in my body. Because the next thing I remember was being woken up by a pilot saying we had landed but they wanted to make sure I got some rest. What surprised me was that I was laying on the floor with a pillow and blankets and the hunters were gone. I got escorted to the councils office the building is still rather the same but before I became a hunter the council members were all different they were gen three and gen fours very wise old man close to the point of being completely done with this and finally resting in the afterlife. (You can retire but it's just waiting for death since your body doesn't like to be at rest for to long).
I was sitting in front of five people again two were gone due to the never all wanted to be in one place.

These were the councilman before they retired and we had new ones. They were all very intimidating even for their age.
"So we hear that you that you single handedly took out categories that's impressive" Logan said
Since he was the first to talk I take a good look at him a full head of grey hair long enough to reach his neck obviously a trailblazer sort of man white eyes (just dawned on me that he was blind) muscles the size of cannon ball and a claw scar over his mouth from some battle.
"They were just low categories" I said trying to be humble.
"Don't be so modest" William said
I paid attention to him he was hairy like an animal and his hair was also very unkept black mess he had a handle protruding from his back and because of that I realized he wasn't even sitting he was on his feet hunched over elbow to knees almost ready to pounce and weird looking eyes.
"Not very many people your age could do such a thing" he continued
"Where did you train" Sara barged in
"Um my dad built me a bow years ago and he just showed me the basics the blade was just for emergencies" I said remembering how and when I had gotten them.
Sara took me by surprise so I didn't look at her till after I answered. She looked tired in her eyes they were blue with black little strips going diagonally to the left. Her silver hair showed her years and her posture was poor almost like she spent years hunched over a desk. Something was mounted above her I take a look and I see a giant war hammer assuming it's her weapon I understand her posture. ( Honestly who knows how many categories she's obliterated with that thing)
Jason spoke next addressing everyone "obviously there is one way we can tell about what he did since somebody gave him the technology to do so." he said with a booming voice From the look of Jason you could tell he was a squad leader he held his head high puffed out his chest, his white hair and bright yellow eyes made him look like a wolf even the expression plastered on his face made him look scary. What was worse he wasn't wearing a shirt and he did not look his age at all. Eridar stood up and made his way down to me, it was a bit of uneasy feeling he was tall was built fairly his head and hands were covered by his cloak. He walked up to me and held out his and signaling he wanted my phone so I gave it to him. A few minutes after he started pressing buttons and was able to project what I had done for the council to see and they saw everything from that day. The council watched in silence wondering if I had anything to help me kill the categories and wonder what that was that I killed at within the burrow they had never seen it before. They only dismissed me and I was escorted out after they exchanged worried glances. I'm not sure exactly what happened after I left but a week later I got pulled out of class by the head of the training camp for hunters. Harry Romero gave me an acceptance letter " I really hope you join us we need natural talent like you" he said to me (It's basically college since those have been taken out of this world but I'll go into that later). That was it really after my senior year I went to the training facility and spent one month in isolation after the gene was injected into me and then six grueling months training before I was considered a full fledge hunter but soon enough I became one.
