The three boys are fully prepared to fight Hunter not only for the sake of Kirata but also for the sake of the Moro zone. Hunter smiles in the face of their challenge. As he does, Unknown's face turns to disgust.
"Why is that bastard grinning so hard? He creeps me out, but even so, he's a feared legend, and from what I heard, these guys are some of the most powerful humans in history. Kirata said fighting one of these guys is guaranteed death, and if that's true, what are a bunch of teens like us even able to do to him?"
"Aye, earth to unknown, can you get your head in the game? You said, "Creeps me out," then started muttering to yourself."
"Oh, I didn't even realize I was. sorry."
"Aye, dude, if you sit there overthinking all your problems, you'll never get anywhere. How about you lock in and get ready to beat this guy down?"
With Kages encouraging words Unknown gets stirred up and starts stretching.
"Yeah, he's right. Kage and Wayne are right here, so there's no way we can lose if we make it three versus one. So yall, what's the plan to take this bastard down?"
"Wait, there was a plan because if there is, I don't know it. Aye, Wayne, did you know if there was a plan or not?"
"Plan?? No, I was just going to take my blade and my shotgun and attack him, and of course, have Lex as my backup."
Unknown looks at both of them in shock as they speak so casually about having no plan.
"Fucking damn it, I would expect this type of idiotic behavior from Kage, but I thought Wayne would at least be a little bit smarter than this. I guess this is the reality. I could think of a plan, but I have no idea how to get past this bitch's mega regeneration. We're fighting an uphill battle. Damn it!!!"
Unknown starts to sweat aggressively.
"Ok, calm down; we just have to last until Wayne's Pops get free. Yeah, that can be the plan."
"Hey Kage and Unknown I want to keep my Pops out of this battle if possible."
"Damn it!!!"
"I understand that this is selfish of me, but Pops is really old, and a battle like this could end his life, which I don't want to happen, so please work with me to beat Hunter right here right now."
"Of course, man, it's the least we can do."
"Hey, don't agree to that; you idiot Kirata might be our only chance at winning."
"Hey, Unknown chill out Hunter is coming in for an attack right now!"
"Wait what!!!"
Hunter grows Sharp wings out of his back and uses them to fly straight to the boys.
"Oh shit!!!"
"Lex, come on, now is our time."
Lex grows to a regular size and latches on to Wayne's back. Lex propels Wayne into the sky, avoiding Hunter's attack. Kage throws an energy barrier around him and Unknown.
"Hahahaha I see you're all done talking now. I would have attacked earlier, but I didn't want to be rude. You all avoided me pretty well. I guess I can have fun with you all before I go on to the main course!"
Hunter shoots multiple fireballs from his mouth at Kages barrier. The barrier starts cracking little by little.
"Damn, he's strong. Unknown, we have to move before he breaks the barrier."
"right!!"
Kage lets down the barrier, and using the accelerate technique, Kage runs to the right while Unknown runs to the left.
"Oh, I see you all are smart too; this should be so much fun!"
Wayne, using Lex, flies toward Wayne and attempts to cut him with his blade. Hunter hardens his skin and uses it to block Wayne's attack.
"Damn, he combined multiple beast durability to make that armor, but it's definitely not OGI-oriented; if it were, my blade would have cut through it easily. So the OGI must only flow inside, and the outside result is organic. That fact alone makes this fight much harder.
"Wow, you Attacked me head-on; you're a confident one."
Hunter splits his right arm into 10 tentacles.
"Hahaha,"
"Oh shit this is bad, Lex, hurry and get us out of here."
"Grrrr"
Lex quickly pulls Wayne up into the air to avoid the incoming tentacles.
"Oh, what an interesting Gumalo you have there. Those are pretty rare. I might take that as my appetizer, if you know what I'm saying."
"You won't eat shit, you sick bastard!"
While in the air, Wayne pulls out his shotgun and sends shots towards Hunter. Hunter dodges the bullets and vanishes.
"What the fuck, where did he go? He must be using the accelerate technique."
"Wow, you're pretty smart, aren't you?"
"!?"
Wayne looks behind him and sees Hunter flying right next to him. Lex pulls Wayne away as fast as he can, but with a grin on his face, he sharpens the tips of his tentacles and smacks both Hunter and Lex to the ground.
"fuck!!!"
Wayne and Lex start falling to the ground with multiple cuts on their bodies. Lex Musters up all its strength and catches Wayne for a rough landing.
"Garrr"
"Thanks, Lex, but we have to get up fast, or he'll be on us in no time."
"Yeah, you're right about that, but I'm afraid your regular human senses are pretty slow."
"Shit, he's already down here."
Wayne looks up and sees Hunter standing over him. Hunter kneels down over Him with a menacing smile.
"Wayne, was it? You know, I ran into an old man earlier while I was following you here; he seemed to be pretty desperate to protect the beast king just like you."
"Wh...what the hell are you going on about?"
"Come on, you know. What was his name again? Oh, wait, I don't think I ever got his name. I guess that's what happens when you have too much fun causing someone pain. Hahaha!!!"
"N...no, what the hell are you on about you, bastard!?"
"Oh, did I strike a nerve or something? Well, don't even worry about it; he's dead anyway. I only brought it up because I swear I heard him call out for someone named Wayne, but maybe I'm going more crazy than I already am. Hahahaha."
As Hunter continues to speak, Wayne starts to realize who he's referring to. Wayne starts to remember something he said on the mountain.
"What the hell was that? It almost felt like someone was calling out to me."
Wayne, now remembering this fact, utters a name with a weak voice and tears coming down his face.
"George"
"Oh, was that his name? Yeah, he definitely put up a fight with those special weapons of his. Actually, his weapons are pretty similar to yours. I guess you do know him; too bad he blew himself up trying to take me down. He seemed like a pretty funny guy."
"Y... you kill...killed him."
"Hahaha, awww, he's crying like a baby."
"Go to hell, you sick bitch. Energy manipulation: Energy shotgun!!!"
Kage appears behind Hunter and, with an angered look on his face, balls up his fist,holds his right arm with his left hand, and shoots a shockwave of energy from his fist straight Into Hunter's head. The attack completely shoots Hunter's head off his body.
"Now Unknown quickly!!"
Unknown runs in from the left of Hunter's headless body and kicks it to the side of the mountain using the Flex technique.
"Goal!!! Take that, you son of a bitch!"
Hunter's headless body stands up and starts regenerating his head.
"Oh shit he's already regenerating!"
"Hey Unknown, take care of Wayne and Lex. I'll take care of ugly for now!"
"Right!!"
Kage rushes toward Hunter, who has fully regenerated his head.
"Ok, let's do this for real. Energy manipulation!!"
While Kage handles Hunter Unknown's attempts to get Wayne back in battle. Unknown grabs Wayne and starts shaking him, attempting to get his attention.
"Hey, dude, can you hear at all, bro? Damn it, I think he entered a state of shock. I understand his pain after what that bastard has done. I would be shocked too if I found out such terrible news, but the battlefield is no place to be in shock, damn it!"
While Wayne lies in shock in his brain, he remembers all the memories he has had with George.
"How?? why?? why him?? Why did he have to die? There's no way Hunter would have gone for George if I never came back to the Moro zone. This is all my fucking fault."
"Garrr"
As Wayne thinks to himself, he snaps back to reality thanks to Lex calling out to me. Wayne sits up and looks at both Lex and Unknown.
"Oh, thank goodness you're back. I thought you would never answer."
"Unknown?"
"Huh, yeah, what's up?"
"Am I dreaming?? Please tell me I'm dreaming."
"Oh, um, sorry, you're not dreaming; he's really gone."
"Heh, yeah, you're right. I don't even know why I would ask that dumb question."
"Hey!!! Get your head in the Fucking game! I know what happened to George is fucked up, but now your pop's life is on the line. So what I'm trying to say is, Get off your ass and fight!"
"Hehehe,"
After his giggle, Wayne gets up with Lex on his shoulder and weapons in hand.
"Yeah, you're right. If George saw how I was acting now, he would lecture me for hours."
"Yeah, that's the spirit."
Wayne looks toward Kages and Hunter's fight but seems to be focused on Hunter. With a murderous expression on his face, he mutters something to himself.
"I'm going to put so many bullets in your skull to the point you're unrecognizable, you sick bitch. For George's sake, for my Pop's sake, and for my own sake."
