Venno Rapter ~ A Hellish Series ~ Series 1

Becoming the Hunter (Story 2 - Part 5)

With Venno: 

The Velociraptor had just finished putting on the Bounty Hunter uniform she had chosen for herself, having been told to meet Jerry and some other Bounty Hunters in the meeting room to discuss who will take some new bounties that had been posted. 

Instead of her regular outfit, she had chosen to wear a dark grey, full body catsuit with a metal breastplate over her chest. She was also wearing a dark red jacket that went down to her thighs, one of the zippers going all the way up while the secondary zipper went up to her chest so the bottom portion was open to allow for more movement. On her legs, she was wearing a pair of high foot covers with her claws sticking out. On her back, she wore a single-strap backpack, and she had a pair of black goggles with orange lenses resting on her forehead. 

Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, so her bangs were out of the way as opposed to covering her right eye. 

As for the equipment she had been given, the Bounty Hunter Agency had a denizen who would create different kinds of equipment for them to use when needed. 

He had given Venno a pair of small rocket jets that would replace a typical jetpack. All Venno had to do was strap the small jets to either side of her outer thighs, and they would activate whenever they sensed she was a certain height off the ground. 

The Velociraptor had practiced using them, just to get used to how they work, and she had to admit that she was impressed. 

She had also been given a silenced handgun, which was only to be used on emergencies since a lot of the bounties being hunted were mostly being brought in alive. She had a summonable weapon of her own, a black obsidian scythe with the ability to slice with toxic venom effects similar to her toxic venom saliva, but she knew that she may not be able to use it due to the fact that bounties are supposed to be brought in alive.

But Venno had decided to only summon her scythe when she REALLY needed it. 

After deciding she was ready, she began to make her way out of the armory and down the hall. 

Now fully outfitted to look more like an actual Bounty Hunter, Venno felt a new surge of confidence well up inside her. 

She was about to prove to her new boss, and all the other Bounty Hunters, that she, too, can be a Bounty Hunter even without having at least some of the experience often required.

After stepping out of the elevator, she found herself in what looked like a lobby before one would walk into a large meeting room that nearly took up the entirety of the floor they were on. 

Venno walked over to the large glass double doors, seeing that all of the walls appeared to be made of glass. 

There was a large table in the center of the room, circular in shape with matching chairs. 

Jerry was seated in the center chair, his back facing the far wall as he spoke to many different denizens who Venno could only assume are the other Bounty Hunters. Venno also spotted Barry standing off to the side, his arms crossed as he listened intently on what his boss was saying, even though he was on unpaid vacation and wasn’t supposed to be there. 

Venno could only assume that Fiona, the Pomeranian, had some different work that needed to be done since her break must have ended. 

Taking a deep breath, Venno pushed the large glass double doors open and walked into the room, catching everyone’s attention. 

Jerry smiled a little when he saw her, nodding. 

“If you weren’t new, anyone would mistake you for a seasoned and experienced Bounty Hunter. Everyone, I’d like to introduce you to Venno Rapter, the newest member of the Bounty Hunter team. She had never been a Bounty Hunter before,  but she proved to me that not everyone needs that kind of experience like the rest of you. Even beat the training test records” explained Jerry, sitting on a fancy office chair, indicating it was his seat and his alone.
