Ten years have past sense Rika left and Touka has alway wounder why she left, but Rika suddenly returned and is planning something which might cause the total destruction of the land she was sworn to protect.
The next morning the 9 hunters left the house and started searching for traces of Gore Magala. They first started in the area where they first saw it which was not too far from Dakotas house. They separated, each looking for tracks. It was not long before Elora found large claw tracks leading into a nearby forest. Everyone followed the tracks into the forest. As the ran through the forest they heard strange roars and howls, they sounded corrupted. No one of them liked the sound and they did not want to stay and find out what was making the noises, so they continued running for as long as they could. Touka noticed that there was black dust clouds in throughout the forest, she did not like this. No one stopped running until they. They drank mega dash juice so they could sprint for a longer time. Tala heard something from behind them charging fast at them. She looked back for a moment and found a Seltas Queen right behind them.

"Seltas Queen, right behind us!" Tala yelled getting every ones attention.
They all jumped away except old man Hiroshi, he pulled out his hammer and held his ground. As the Seltas Queen charged quickly, Hiroshi charged him hammer ready to strike at the right moment.
"YOU WILL FALL!" He yelled as it approached.
When it got within reach, Hiroshi released the charging hammer straight into its face causing the entire Seltas Queen to fall destroying several trees in the process. The others pulled out their weapons ready to defend themselves. The Seltas Queen stood back up and everyone was able to see it clearly, it was infected with the Gore virus.
"Its infected with the Gore virus, its stronger then normal," Touka yelled.
"Not stronger then a dragon piercer," Elora yelled as she pulled out an arrow, scratched it on the ground which caused the arrows gunpowder powered jets to ignite.
She placed it on the bows string and pulled back on it. She waited for the jets to hit full power before letting go. The Seltas Queen steamed up and charged at them again. The jets fire enlarged and Elora let go. The arrow hit its face, pierced through its body and out its tail leaving one large hole in it. The Infected Seltas Queen fell dead but they did not relax because there are still other monsters in the forest. The sheathed their weapons and continued running. They soon arrived at an open field area and not long after a Infected Astalos crashed through the forest skidding across the ground.

It caught everyone by surprised and it barely missed them. They again pulled out there weapons ready to fight. Astalos formed a thunder sword from the horn on its head and started swinging it around. The hunters dodged as much as they could, Tala, Xan and Touka where hit by the sword and knocked back. Touka fell oh her back as the Astalos targeted her and charged its wing with thunder ready to strike down. Hiroshi charged him hammer again and slammed it down causing it to flinch, which gave Touka time to move away. Yukio used his Glave to vault and jump on top of it, he grabbed onto its back making the monster panic. Xan with his Switch Ax grabbed onto its wing, switch the ax to sword mode and started cutting its wing up. Yukio started stabbing its back with a hunting knife several times until a bloody hole was formed. The Astalos screeched which caused Yukio and Xan to fall off. the managed to land on their feet and ready themselves for the next attack. Touka quickly jumped onto its face before it had anytime to attack. She pulled out her sword and jammed it into its neck causing blood to spray everywhere. In pain the Astalos fell down on its side trying to breath by fail and died with a sword in its neck. Touka walked up to it and pulled the bloody sword out. The rest put their weapons away not hearing any other sounds.
"Just wait, I'll probably save your life later," Nuria joked
Elora did not like Nuria at this moment. Touka looked around at the others as the gathered parts from the two dead monsters, suddenly Touka felt something staring at her. She turned around but saw nothing but her staring did not last long because the ground started shaking and she noticed a large rock moving. The others stopped what they were doing at also noticed the rock moving. The rock happened to be a Duramboros awaking from the loud screeched.

"Oh great," Zumo sighed
"Nothing to worry about, just stay away from the tail," Dakota said as he pulled out his duel blades.
The Duramboros was also infected with the Gore virus and it was not long before it noticed them. The monster roared and charged at them. The all readied to jump away but suddenly there was gunfire and sticky explosives stuck to the monsters face causing it to face the shooter. The hunter also turned to see several others in Star knight armor. Just before anyone could say anything the explosives went off causing the Duramboros to fall stunned. One of the Star kights pulled out his lance and quickly charged at it. At just the right moment the Star Knight used the lance to pierce its skull and stab its brain which caused the monster to die. He pulled the lance out of its head and sheathed it. The others walked to the Star Knights wondering who they are but Touka knew them but she was surprised to see them here. There were about six Star Knights counting Touka. Touka walked up to the one with the lance, the Star Knight removed his helmet to reveal his face. Touka hugged him and he hugged back, the others were very confused.
"Its nice to see you again brother," she said with a smile.
