MHA: A World of Monsters and Hunters

Hunting: The Great Izuchi

The ruin shrines, once a holy place of worship. Turned to a barren land where monsters roam around. It's where the Izuchi come to mate and become hyper-aggressive to anything that moves. A fitting monster for the two boys to hunt. Wyverns and Beasts of this world are just animals; they eat, sleep and breed like anything else. Once the caravan stops, the doors open with Izuku and Ryuji come out first. Both wearing leather armor that was custom-made by the clan.

The next cart opens and steps out a tall muscular man with tan skin. Wearing a black Montsuki Kimono and white sandals; his black hair slick back and trimmed beard starting to grey around his sideburns. The next man that steps out is also in a black Montsuki Kimono. His black hair tied to a ponytail and his face adored with black rim glasses.

Both men have crimson eyes that make Nargacuga's eyes look innocent. The older man spoke out with a hearty laugh.

"Wonderful! We are here! You boys know those crazy bastards will be in a frenzy. That's why we outfitted your gear with level 7 defense and level 3 evade extender. Shame it's only leather armor. Magnamalo armor would work better for you boys."

Ryuji nudged Izuku who held his sword in his right hand while the shield was on his left.

"Thank you for the armor, sir! I am very grateful that I could be issued my first hunt by the Kurosaki Clan! I will not let you down!" Izuku said as he stood up straight like a soldier would be in front of his commanding officer.

"Money is no issue. We took every precaution to help you two. When I heard my baby brother is going to fight with weapons only, I felt like we needed to boost your natural evasion and your endurance to pain." Akira spoke out as he adjusted his glasses. Pulling out from his sleeves was two scout fly cages. The two boys took the scout fly cages and attached them to their belts.

"The clans' men will be in the shadows. If things get dodgy, they will enter the fight with quirks blazing. Understand we don't want to come home with your mothers trying to feed us to the Magnamalos if one of you is missing a single hair." Ryuji's father spoke out in his bellowing voice.

Ryuji nods and enters the third cart with Izuku to eat their hunting boost meal and gather their supplies for the hunt. Izuku grabs a potion and stares at it. Many things differ from the games as humans were able to improve on some items. Potions can be consumed and used to close wounds by applying the refreshing liquid onto the affected area. Strange how he can splash this on his face to recover from the fight but this won't fully heal him to 100%. Only enough to keep fighting.

Ryuji pulls out some max potions which were like cookies but on steroids. The shot of adrenaline and the healing benefits of a potion was why max potions are amazing but making one was difficult. The catch to these miracle cookies, they are only for emergencies as too much can harm your body for prolonging consumption alone. One is all they need for this hunt. He offers one to Izuku before they head out.

Crossing the river at the lowest point, the two boys follow the footpath settlers made in the beginning. Walking up the side of the hill until they reach an abandoned town. Izuku admires the ruined town and looks at Ryuji.

"Do you remember the tales of the travelers that lived here? 'A holy land that the gods touched. These gods left when the sun and moon danced in the sky. Humans venture forth when the gods left. With their once noble ambition, they thank the gods but taint the land with greed. Once believed to be a place of worship was a vile nest of sin. Not of men of god but men of corrupted hearts at the end. The gods came back with the storm of their anger and vanquished many humans who fought back. The remaining humans try to beg for their life but they run when their pleads are unheard. The whereabouts of these travelers is unknown.' Spooky, huh?"

Ryuji smiles as he looks at his friend but the scout flies start to swirl around the boys. This was their way of saying the enemy is near. The two stood back to back; their weapons are drawn and feet firm. Something darted in the corner of their eyes. An orange-brown blur. Another blur came. More and more blurs appear until a dark building has two large yellow eyes staring at them. Walking out of the building is the Bird Wyvern: Great Izuchi.

A sleek body that ends with a sickle tail. Curved talons and pointed nose that resembles a weasel. The orange-brown fur brightens its plumage. Two smaller izuchi appear as they stand by the larger alpha. More izuchi surround the building and let out a ritualistic chanting. The first two Izuchi attack the boys. Izuku uses his shield to deflect the attack while Ryuji throws the Izuchi away with his dual blades. Wounding the Izuchi by slashing it on its back. The larger Izuchi twirls its body for a whirlwind-like attack.

The two boys jump far to avoid the attack, narrowly missing their heads. The Great Izuchi calls for replacements. The first two Izuchi retreats while another one runs up behind Ryuji. Tackling him down and try to snap at his neck. Ryuji uses his blades to keep the Wyvern away and kicks it off of him. His body starts to glow red and he lunges at the Izuchi with a flurry of attacks. Midoriya bashes his shield into the other Izuchi and slashes at his foe.

The izuchi recoils in pain and retreats. Izuku smirks but was whipped by the tail of the Great Izuchi. Slashing through his first layer of armor. Rolling on the ground, Izuku let go of his sword several feet before he collided with a weathered building. He hastily rolled out of the way as the Great Izuchi tried to cut off his head with a downward tail strike. He looks back at his friend who was in Feral Demon Mode.

Fighting off more Izuchi but notice he was starting to get overwhelmed without his quirk. Izuku quickly runs to his sword before the Great Izuchi pulls its sickle tail out of the ground. The bird Wyvern snaps its jaws and rushes at the green-haired boy. Using his shield to guard the attack but he was pushed away from his sword and towards his friend. The two collide and are knocked to the ground. The izuchi start to encircle them, two of the izuchi rush in to take the weapons of Ryuji away. Leaving Izuku with his shield only.

The two stand up back to back as all the Izuchi surround them. "Guess I have to use my quirk now. Bastards want to die." Ryuji said under his breath. He didn't want to use it because he felt like his friend wouldn't feel satisfaction if Ryuji did all the work. They were doing good for a while like the hunters in the game.

The Great Izuchi lowered its head down to pounce but raised its head back up and looked to the west. Birds fly off in that direction. Something was coming and it sounded big. The izuchi all took a defensive stance in the direction of the object barreling to them. Leaving their prey behind which gave the two boys a chance to run and get their weapons.

The magnamalo at the carts raised their heads which made Akira very worried for his brother.

"So, you are finally showing your face. Now the real hunt begins." Akira's father said with a big grin. Akira was shocked to hear his father say that. He runs off in the direction of the ruined town and attached a slinger to his right arm. Using the hook shot to launch himself far to quickly arrive at the deserted settlement. Akira's father jumps onto a magnamalo and commands it to run. The fanged Wyvern sprints to the deserted town before Akira could arrive. Once the two arrive at the town, they saw what was attacking the boys. An Arzuros but it wasn't a normal blue bear beast.

"That's... a Redhelm Arzuros," Akira said in shock.
