Joining some Pros

He spoiled Edna and Ally with a quick meal of their favorites before talking with his team and now is heading out with another team. He had spoken with Marry about the meat once more and was guided to this team who he is here to help. Meeting them he decides he doesn't like them that much. "Hey you are that guy who wants to join us in this hunt?"

Dante nods his head as he walks up with a smile. "Yeah, I am highly interested in these animals and looking forward to working with you."

The woman looks to him and shakes her head. "We don't just take any pretty boy face that shows up. If she hadn't told us that she wants you to come, we wouldn't waste time on weaklings like you." Dante wants to feed her to something "However as we are down a body if nothing else we can use you as bait."

He would bring Tora out to calm his nerves but these people all have bits and parts of various animals on them as decorations. He now thinks of their name and figures it should have been a clue. However it was his best shot and she did this knowing he was able to handle it. Looking to the leader as she is going over her gear he nods. "What is the best tactic you think for handling these things?"

She looks over and sighs in an exaggerated heavy manner. "Bait, kill, and repeat." he blinks and feels like he should just go alone for the help they offer "Don't worry since you will be the bait so just try to stay alive."

Dante leans back and opens up his holo starting to research more on them. "The information on these seems to be pointedly missing. I can't form up a solid plan of action without information and if you want me to play the bait? I have to know what to expect."

They all look to him as one of the guys with part of a bear skull on his head like a cap glares. "Big, fast, and deadly is all you need to know." Dante looks to him as he really is fighting his desire to show them those three traits right now "What, you look upset kid. Did your mommy not hug you today?"

Dante narrows his eyes as he starts to hiss low and several snakes are now around him. As they all jerk as none have their gear on yet he realizes it and calms sending them away as he laughs. "Oh don't worry I don't hunt weaklings unless they test me." He goes back to searching on his watch as they now look between each other.

They move near each other as the leader speaks. "What the hell did she send with us? Isn't that the damned God of Beasts?" as several look over a few open up holos and nod seeing his face clearly "I thought it was all bullshit but he just had several venomous vipers and a constrictor show up from the air."

Dante chimes in looking over. "It says these fish are pack animals. What size of pack are we talking, tens or hundreds?"

One looks over and thinks as she smiles seeing him as a way to finish her fang necklace. "They normally are in groups of twenty to forty. However I can help you if you help me out a little." he looks to her curiously as she smiles "I need a couple more fangs and curious if you could provide the animals I need."

Dante thinks in his head and fights the impulse down as he blinks shaking his head. "Sorry but I don't butcher my companions only the things I hunt. However I won't drag you down by trying to help me. I will do my job as bait as you keep my alive with your hunting."

She thinks and now moves over sitting by him. "Are you sure? I just need a set of Cobra fangs and a set of Razor Wing canines to finish it. Afterwards I would be very thankful."

Dante feels a great hatred in his soul as he smiles softly and shakes his head. "Sorry but even if you ask sweetly I won't rip my companions apart so you can wear them as accessories. That would require us to find a beast and killing it afield." she looks to him and nods with a big smile as she moves off "Well the help on count is useful so thank you."

He is busy as they are back in their huddle but now not talking as loud as they all smile. "We can use this to our advantage. If we head over to that area afterwards we can use him to kill those bastards and finish that mission." they nod to him as he smiles "I could use a new skin for my bed and with his animals after they die we can harvest them too."

Dante is looking over his gear and stops seeing the strange item and shakes his head not wanting to touch that object. Looking past he sighs as he has nothing for swimming but a set of towels he can dry off with afterwards. "I need to get proper equipment for any situation." He spends the rest of the trip at the markets looking at items and prices while asking a few questions of friends.

He is standing by the door looking at the massive ocean like view before him as he blinks. He has never seen a body of water this big in his life and can only think of oceans. He goes to ask a question as suddenly he feels a push and is now falling while he just flips a bird over his shoulder. He tilts and knives deep into the water as he turns coming back to the surface. Land was now directly ahead of him and he was swimming as this is not good.

They are laughing as they watch and nod as he knows to swim to shore. "Well he makes good bait. Now I wonder how well he can survive if something catches up?" one points and they look "Well fuck a shark." they shout out "You are amazing bait, you got the attention of a Blue Ray Shark!"

Dante looks over his shoulder as his eyes widen. "You are all so fucking dead if that thing eats me." he turns and starts swimming but after a moment he can hear it better and spins holding out a hand as it vanishes "FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!"

They are all staring in shock. That was more than a shock but his words afterwards hit like a feather to the sight of a grown shark vanishing. "You think his tech is truly a part of him like the holos say?" as one mentions his demonstration they grunt "Well, we just will need to use this bait fully than."

An eel the size of Ta attacks him as he is nearly back but it dies to a school of beautiful fish with long flowing fins. As amazing as they look the fact they ripped that eel up means he swims and doesn't wait for them to finish then look for more. Now that he is on the shore he looks around and pants catching his breath. The waters were freaking deadly! He thought the land was rough but land has nothing on water.

After landing they walk over as John motions towards the water. "Sadly none of the right species came out otherwise we could of made this a one dip trip." Dante looks to them and shakes his head as it was pointless "So once you catch your breath we can take you up again. While we wait however now that you killed that shark, how about we harvest it?"

Dante looks to him as he laughs some. "Who says Nippers is dead?" as they all look to him he laughs "They are just fine and looking for a chance to eat someone again."

They look to each other and back to him. "Wait you mean you somehow added that to your tech?" Dante nods as they stare at him "You are a gold mine! If we can take them from the water we can kill many of those with ease or just wait until it suffocates."

Dante really doesn't like this group and reminds him of someone else at the same time. The leader speaks up now stopping that train of thought for everyone. "We have a mission to complete so ignore other ideas and focus on the task at hand." she looks to Dante "If you could than thanks for the help but if you can't we can do our job still."

Dante thinks for a moment and nods his head as she might be decent. He looks back at the water and thinks. "What was up with those beautiful long finned fish?" as they say avoid them under all situations he nods "Thanks for the advice, I was curious after they ate that eel but wasn't sticking around to see if they were friendly."

As the rest are heading back to the ship one guy comes over and stands next to Dante. "Those fish are known as Blooms." as Dante looks to him "It refers to what bodies look like in the water when they get ahold of them. They may be small but are an apex predator of these lakes." Dante looks at the water and nods as he smiles licking his lips "What are you thinking?"

Dante looks to him and laughs. "I never ate a Bloom before, curious on the flavor." as the man smiles nodding his head Dante thinks "Word of advice since you seem decent." he looks to him "Try to keep them from pissing me off too badly and don't try to play me. I won't react well."

He looks to this guy and nods as he felt he wasn't like most. "What would happen if they pushed you to hard?"

Dante looks to him and smiles as he laughs. "Titan classed vengeance." as the man jerks Dante smiles and looks to the water "I am only a rank three intermediate Hunter but Marry knows I could handle this." he starts to walk back as he smiles "Think time to make new friends."

He returns and looks to the rest as he shakes his head. "Boss, we best not mess with this guy."
