Monster Hunter : Equestria

(Past, 1 year after the first chapter)

      Derpy was prepping up for another mission. She had only began hunting about a week ago. (Post that song and I swear) She about to hunt her first Great Jaggi and to say she was worried was an understatement. You could see her shaking in her armor as dozens of thoughts went through her head.

     'I can't believe it I'm going to hunt my first major monster! I can't believe it. I still don't believe it. Did I bring enough of my mega potions? Or my shock traps? Or how about my poisonous meat? I'm I going to fail? No, no stay positive Derpy it's just a pony eating monster that is super dangerous and I also have never seen in pony and not to mention it's my first real monster that I'll hunt with no experience. Oh, who am I kidding I'm so going to fail...' As she continued to think flagrantly she failed to notice the hunter that she was about to walk into.

     "WAW!" Derpy said as she fell back from the impact, the hunter she bumped in to moved to the side and quickly recovered. He turned his attention to the newbie hunter that just bumped into him. Seeing that she was on the ground he gave her a helping hoof.

     "You ok?" He asked with his hoof reached out to her. She took it and got back up. She began to notice some details about him. He looked about the same age of her, had Barroth armor, a long sword, and had a grey coat.

     "Yea. Sorry for bumping into you"

     "It's ok, no harm done. Going on your first hunt?"

     "How did you know?" Derpy said in shock and surprise.

     "You have that new hunter look for one and two you dropped your mission paper." He said with her mission in his magical grip. "So the Great Jaggi? I can come with you and help if you want."

     "What! Really?"

     "Sure, I need to get a claw anyway. Just let me get some items first than we can go Ms.?"

     "Derpy. And you are?"

       He flashed a quick smile and said "I'm  Dark Thunder."

(Present)

     "Wait! You know Dark Thunder?!?" Said Twilight.

     "Yea, we first meet there. He helped me get started with hunting. He helped me for about a week than he had to leave. He was very nice and helpful."

    "Well that sounds a lot like him. Did you see him again after that?"

     "Yes actually, it was about 2 years later though it wasn't under good conditions..."

     "What happen?" Everyone asked in unison.

     "He was paralyze and was about to be eaten by a Deviljho."

     "What?!?" Everyone said.

     "What's a Deviljho?" Dinky asked.

     "Um Twilight, are you ok?" Asked Flutter Shy. All eyes went to Twilight who was pale. She remembered the nightmare of the monster from the book stories and from Dark's experience with one.

     "I take it you know what I'm talking about?" Twilight only nodded. "Anyway it's one of if not the deadliest monsters of all time. It's has a bottomless stomach and will eat anything, wither it be monster, captured monsters, monster hunters, even it's own tail isn't safe. It will kill anything that moves."

      This made everyone scared. A monster that will eat anything and is always hungry, the thought  terrified them. If this was just one monster what else was there?

     "Did you save him mom?" Dinky said in a curious and slightly  terrified voice.

     "I did but it was by pure luck. We luck that we both still alive after that. After that he didn't say what happen but I can tell it wasn't just the deviljho, something else had a hoof in it but he never told me. To this day I still don't know want happened in there but every time I brought it up he go from the happiest pony alive to the saddest thing on the planet. I know the deviljho wasn't the only one there but I try not to bring it up if you see him."

     "We'll remember that. Still this is the second time he had an incident with one of those monsters." This got everyone curiosity including Derpy's. This was the only time she knew that he had incountered a deviljho. So what was she taking about?

     "Wait, second time? What was the first?" Derry asked.

     "I don't remember the story too much but I do know that not too long before we meet he and one of his friends ran it that monster and nearly got eaten. I don't really remember much after that though."

    "Uh, interesting I ask him about that if I see him again. Oh, by the way did you get help with the current Nargacuga problem?"

     "Actually Dark called a team already."

     "Wait, he's here!?!" Derpy said in a mix of surprise and shock.

     "No. He was able to talk to me in my dream."

      "Say what?" Said AppleJack.

     "Apparently Luna taught him how to dream walk. I don't know any other details beside that."

    "So first he's a monster hunter and now he's a dream walker? What's next, is he secretly an alicorn too?" Rainbow said in an annoying voice that dripped with sarcasm.

      Pinkie narrowed her eyes and glared at the... author. Sigh, can't get a break from you can't? Look he is powerful but not an alicorn alright.

    "Ok than but I'm watching you." Pinkie said as she pointed her hoof at her eye than to the author than back to her. Can't get a break for her can I? Anyway on with the story!

     "Ok ladies, and Spike how about we get some rest and meet up at the train station in the morning and meet with this team when they get here." Said Doctor Hooves.

     "How do you know that they are going be on the train?" Asked Rarity.

     "Well how else are they going to get here."

     "Good point. We now lets go home and get some rest." Everyone nodded to that as they all went to there homes and got some rest.

(Morning, 9 a.m.)

       Twilight and her friends were on the train platform with Derpy. The Doctor and Dinky decided to stay home after the events of last night and since Dinky fell to sleep at 6:20 in the morning they decided to giver some sleep and someone had to stay with her.

     "So Derpy I been meaning to ask you something." Twilight said.

     "What would that be?"

     "I saw attack the Nargacuga with golden scales that came from your wings, what was that?" This got everyponies attention. How was she able to do that?

     "You see I'm a monpony."

     "What?" Twilight's friends said in unison.

     "Dark said something about that. You have powers of a monster if I'm correct?" Twilight said.

     "That's right. In my cause it a Seregios. A monster bird with extremely sharp scales and rivals with the Rathian and Rathalos spices of monsters. The are very powerful and dangerous."

     "Ah I see. Wait which one?" Asked Apple Jack

     "All of them. Looks like the train is here." Derpy said as they looked in the direction that she was looking and the saw the train coming. It made its way to the station. It came to a halt and the door opened up. Coming out of the train was three ponies. The one to the left was a earth pony and had Barroth armor and a heavy bowgun. The one on the rights as also a earth pony had Rathalos armor with a matching great sword. The one in the middle walked up with his team following and stop in front of Twilight.

     "I heard that you needed help." The pony said. He had Diviljho armor with a deviljho switch axe to match. He was a pegasus with a yellow coat and mane.

     "Yes we do. I take it you are the leader of 'The Legends'."

     "Yes we are."

     "So this is the team Dark Thunder called?" Rainbow dash said.

     "Why else would they be here Rainbow? Actually now getting a better look at you... Have we meet before?" Asked Twilight.

     "We problely have but we were both young at the time."

     "What does that mean?" Asked Rarity.

     "Maybe this will ring a bell. My name is Butter Hero. Dark Thunder's little brother."
