The Hunter's Nightmare
*I awaken siting upon the large corpse of Mother Kos. With no weapons upon me, I gaze upon the endless see as I contemplated of what had happened*

Was I just like Eileen? Lost faith to humanity because of their brash and self righteous being?
Ghost_Akihiko
What are you doing here, friend? This isn't a place for the living.
imtherealklib
*rings the beckoning bell.*

Eh? It work? Where the hell am I and why?
Ghost_Akihiko
I am not sure, I was searching for my friend, Hunter, using his blood signature and ended up here.
The_Hunter
This is Hunter's Nightmare... my eternal punishment... for being drunk in blood. What I am sitting on is Mother Kos... the corpse that is.

*he ever so looks at expanding sea*
imtherealklib
Alright, well I was told to drag your ass back to the Nexus. So are you about done being an indulgent jerk or do I need to best you in combat?
The_Hunter
*pulls out a gun and aims it to his head*

I was not being indulgent... I thought what I did was right... then if no one needs me... then better end my life here and now...
Ghost_Akihiko
Not so fast!
Caesar!
Ziodyne!
*Akihiko shoots himself with the Ectovoker and Caesar sends a bolt lightning at the gun Hunter's holding*
imtherealklib
You let blood lust get the better of you. You turned your blade against your friends. Really? You thought that was right?

*Kalib tosses his spear at the gun.*

Wake up Hunter!
Ghost_Akihiko
You are still our friend, Hunter. We're not gonna let you just disappear on us!
The_Hunter
I've killed friends who were blood drunk. My morality is shifted and blured... I am no human or hero... I AM A GODDAMN BEAST LIKE THE ONES I'VE KILLED!!

*during his mental breakdown blobs of shadows begin to draw to him*
Ghost_Akihiko
So what if your not human, what am I exactly!
imtherealklib
So best you in combat it is! I'll save you Hunter, but you need to believe in yourself!

*Kalib manifests another spear.*
Ghost_Akihiko
I'll back you up Klib...
The_Hunter
*emerging from the pile a giant burning cleric beast roars at them in agony and pain*

IF we are all BEASTS! THEN TO HELL OF THE LINE OF HUMANITY!!
imtherealklib
Hey Aki, glad to see you got your Persona back!

*Flashes a quick smile.*
imtherealklib
Alright! Let's dance Hunter!

SPARTAN ROAR!

*Party ATK/DEF/SPD up.*
The_Hunter
*lets out a violent roar and blindly strikes everywhere in anger*
Ghost_Akihiko
It was thanks to my friends, Goro and Pancake Knight!
It seems that the only way to save Hunter is by defeating what he ahs become!
*Aki shoot himself and summons Caeser*
Sukunda!
*Hunter's accuracy and evasion has been lowered*
imtherealklib
*Kalib parries the strike with relative ease.*

C'mon Hunter! This is your problem, you never focus in battle. All you think about is violence and lashing out as hard as possible.
The_Hunter
*grows more violent and begins to vomit out streams of lava and flames*
Ghost_Akihiko
We are what we make ourselves out to be, is this really you, Hunter!
Tarunda!
*Hunter's attack has been lowered*
Addalme
"He comes"

Looks like we must save him.
imtherealklib
Leonidas! Your shield!

*Kalib takes up Leo's shield and walks forward through the lava and flames.*

Give up Hunter, you're not going to take me down with brute force.

*Kalib tosses his spear at Hunter's eye.*
The_Hunter
You human's see me as the monster that you despise?! THEN HELL WITH MY IDENTITY WITH HUMANITY!!!

*begins slamming his enlarged left arm causing the ground to violently shake*
Addalme
I can save him, but I need your help.
Ghost_Akihiko
You have my aid other Goro!
imtherealklib
Go for it Crow, we got your back!

*Kalib moves to attack the left arm.*

You aren't a monster! You just need someone to lend you a hand Hunter! You suffered so much alone! In a world I can barely imagine and yet you are still HUMAN! Now wake up!

BRAVE BLADE!

*Leonidas and Kalib both slash at the left arm*
The_Hunter
For eighty years I've been called beast, killer, murderer... MONSTER!! I lost my humanity to the Great Ones to be freed from humanity's sins and pride!

*casts Heat Raiser twice and unleashes Blazing Hell*
Addalme
"He thinks"

(His body is on fire) I should be carefull

Robin!

"He casts megaton raid on hunter's legs"
hazama
[Emerging from the cave cut into the cliff at the far end of the beach, Hazama casually trots out, holding a black metal instrument in his hand]

Seems he can still speak, that's a good sign. I'm here to help.
Addalme
"He casts debilitate on hunter"
The_Hunter
It is not FAIR!! IT ISN'T FAIR!!!

*gets inflicted by Despair and slams down God's Hand*
Ghost_Akihiko
What is the thing your holding, stranger?
Addalme
Hunter! You are not a beast!

"He casts megidola on hunter"
The_Hunter
That's what ALL humans said BUT NEVER!! IT IS A MOCKERY TO MY VERY SOUL!!!

*he violently rips off his lower torso violently drags himself rampaging at them while pools of lava bleeds profusely*
hazama
You people always prattle on about friendship and bonds, right? I have something here he should recognize. Something I only hope can snap him out of this delusion. I'll need you to subdue him, though.
imtherealklib
Subdue him? Got it!

Leo! Pin him down with Spartan Rain!

*Leonidas begins tossing spears into the sky attempting to skewer the Hunter and immobilize him.*
Ghost_Akihiko
*Akihiko floats over the lava*
You should all be careful. I'm just lucky I'm not physical.
Addalme
"He thinks"

(Was that necesary?)

"He casts kougaon"
Ghost_Akihiko
Alright!
*Akihiko shoots himself and summons Caesar*
Ziodyne!
*A bolt of lightning flies at Hunter*
The_Hunter
*while he roars of pain and suffereing, the star projected important key points of his life, from his infamous betrayal of a nun of the Healing Church to Shinji killing him*

I want this nightmare to end... please... PLEASE!!!!
Ghost_Akihiko
It doesn't have to be a nightmare, Hunter. We want to help you!
Addalme
Is that what you really want? If you die... what about Mariah?
imtherealklib
*Kalib climbs onto the Hunter and stands next to his ear.*

Then it's time for you to wake up and realize we need you Hunter!

*Waves to Hazama.*

Now would be a good time Hazaman!
Ghost_Akihiko
Caesar!
Sukunda!
*Accuracy and evasion have been lowered for Hunter*
That should give you a better shot with whatever your planning!
The_Hunter
*hears the words from Crow and begins to shed tears*

She would be alone again... I don't want to see here like that again...

*unfortunately the despair succumbs him and dies screaming in pain*
Ghost_Akihiko
Is Terumi a friend of yours?
Addalme
"He casts heat riswr on hunter"

Not yet!
hazama
[Walking to the corpse of the massive beast, Hazama kicks the black object along the ground, revealing it to be a black, metal bow]

You hunters got dealt a bad hand. Those damn bookworms ruined any chance at peace you had, but you did have each other. You suffered at the hands of monsters and gods, and now you have a new duty. This thing's owner wouldn't want you to keel over without knowing everything. Get up, you have a job to do.
hazama
Whoops, deleted that by mistake, haha. Terumi is another soul inside of Hazama's body. Hazama is actually a vessel for the guy.
Ghost_Akihiko
Uh, not sure I understand, maybe because I'm just a soul!
The_Hunter
*a black phantom of Hunter emerges from the cleric beast's corpse that is simply stares at them*
imtherealklib
*Jumps off the corpse.*

That you Hunter?
Addalme
"He stares at hunter"

Hunter, I'll save you, no matter what.
hazama
[Steping forward, formerly Hazama, now Terumi gestures downward to the bow on the ground]

He had a name, you know. Simon. There was a lot he wanted to do besides chase after the secrets not meant for his ears. Will you really let his and everyone else's struggles be in vain? Maybe you can't even hear me right now, but if you can then stop moping around you pussy!
The_Hunter
*turns his head to klib before vanishing as the stars spells out the phrase Nightmare Slain(?)*
imtherealklib
Wait. No. Did we...kill him?!

*He drops to his knees punching the ground.*

DAMMIT!
Ghost_Akihiko
But, he can't die!
Addalme
Hunter...

"He falls to his knees"
imtherealklib
THEN EXPLAIN WHAT JUST HAPPENED!
hazama
Don't start moping yet, you idiot. This may be the fate for any other hunter, but he was a bit different. Wait a minute.
Addalme
Wait... nightmare slayed?

we didn't kill him, maybe... we saved him.
Ghost_Akihiko
No, I mean he literally comes back after he dies. He once chopped off his own hands and gave them to me.
imtherealklib
I....he did what?
Confederate_Valtr
*he enters to the cover to see a dead cleric beast*

By what the stars spell out that you gang of ruffians killed my best Confederate. But I bet he was crumpling that I know of. No matter... he will return...
imtherealklib
So uh...quick question...the reckoning bell brought me here....how do I get back?
hazama
[He picks up the bowblade and tosses it to Valtr]

You wanna give it to him? He'd know who it belonged to, but I think he deserves it now.
hazama
Oh, well if the nightmare was slain, then you should be disappearing in about, 3..2..1.
imtherealklib
*poof*
Confederate_Valtr
*catches the bowblade and holsters it on his back*

The effect of the Beckoning bell would wear off soon.
Addalme
What do we do nos?
Addalme
Now*
Confederate_Valtr
You killed him Crow. His soul just vanished to where this Izanami lives. And congrats you got blood on your hands again.
hazama
[A new hat materializes in Terumi's left hand, as he places it on his head the menacing aura vanishes and Hazama's gentle smile returns, and he begins readjusting his attire]

Well, if all goes well he might show up in our world again. What's your call on that, Bucket Man?
Confederate_Valtr
I would go back and best not to call me by that name and my name is Valtr.

*vanishes back to the waking world*
hazama
Hm, what a card, that bucket guy. You can leave the way you came, you two. I have something else to do here first.
Addalme
I... killed him?
Confederate_Valtr
Yes Crow and he had the some problems like you. Trying to be something but failed... tragically.

*points to the corpse*
Addalme
I tried to save him!
Confederate_Valtr
Than go to Klib because he has the same problem that you do. Hazama would you kindly?
hazama
[Spinning the Silencing Blank as he draws it from his coat, Hazama smiles]

Of course.

[He fires it, sending Crow back to the waking world]
Addalme
Wait!!
Nooooooo-
hazama
[Walking over to the corpse of the Mother Kos, Hazama digs through the body and pulls out it's misshapen heart.]

Useless, like I thought. There's a hint of seither, but not nearly enough for our use, right Terumi-san?

[He crushes the heart, spewing the white blood of the Great One onto his coat, before firing the Silencing Blank and leaving, laughing as he fades away.]
