Returning Home

They are sitting down now as they are in a temporary shelter after one of them started to cough then suddenly began to spew up blood and spiders. Now the last three are waiting and hoping the call got out so rescue is on the way. Diana gasps and nearly cries out as they see a blue icon show up on the map heading towards them. "Finally we catch a break."

Dante pats his shoulder as they stop seeing the strange metal block. "What is that?" Dante says an emergency shelter "Shall I destroy it?" Dante says not yet as he gets down.

Suddenly they see a red light appear next to the blue and after a moment she gasps as that means the blue was above the red so only one person. "He is still alive. We are saved!"

Dante walks up then circles until he finds the door indicator and knocks as it opens. "You sent out a message? I was leading another of your team I found and they got it. Not sure why I didn't but am not registered as teammate or rescue likely."

They all look a bit haggard and he nods some as he looks them over. "What happened after that thing showed up?" he looks to her and can see she looks drained "We ran into one misfortune after another and now just the three of us are left plus Monica is wounded."

Dante thinks giving a quick rundown, skipping parts, and looks to them. "Has rescue contacted you back?" she shakes her head and sighs "This hunt is one of the worst I have ever been a part of." she looks to him "Perhaps I should take a small break from hunting and really heal up body and mind."

Monica gets up and moves closer to him as he blinks before he pulls out a green vial. "Drink this now!" she takes it and downs it without a question as he strips her suit off plus all of her clothing as they can see purple trails following her veins "Damn it is advanced but she should be okay now. Hasn't reached key areas so the toxin is still manageable." he slices a quick cut next to her breast as he pours a blue and second green vial into the cut by her heart "Okay now is anyone else hurt?"

Diana is sitting next to him as he has her still naked since he is keeping visual track of toxin fading away. "Dante, you said you were with another one of us. Who was it or what did they look like?" he describes her and she nods "Marcy, is she okay?"

Dante shakes his head. "She at least didn't die suffering I was merciful." she sighs and nods "Shocked she survived that hit honestly. I figured she was dead but with those crabs we couldn't go searching for her."

Dante is lost in thought and looks to her. "Mind telling me why you all wear bones and teeth?" he looks over as he dodges to the side avoiding the club as Diana also shouts out at the guy "Okay you are done."

She goes to tell him to stop as one of those cats is already on the guy ripping him apart. Turning she looks back to Dante as her eyes widen before she calms down. "You didn't summon it so you rode here on that one didn't you?" he nods and she does slowly "Are we going to die?"

Dante walks back calmer after he headed over and collected his gear freeing the body to the ravages of nature. Dusk follows him back not even bothering after he killed it. "To be honest, that depends on you." she looks up to him and down to the naked woman then back to him "This is to heal her not for any other reasons."

She calms down as she thinks about it and looks to him. "I will do anything you want as long as you want just please save us." he mentions she said that to a teen guy and she nods "I mean it in every way. I will be yours and willingly no matter what you ask of me."

Dante can't help himself and blushes some because holy crap this woman was direct! He shakes his head a little trying to clear his head of all the things she just said to go for. He looks around and hisses as several things in the grass slow and turn leaving. Looking back to her he nods his head. "For now we will head back and once there you will be an advisor to my group plus a teacher. You know more about hunting these aquatic animals than I have any clue on, plus being a team member you have maps of all the areas you have been. I also want those as a project of ours with a few others is building a complete map with notes and such."

She stands stripping all the bones from her body and casts them aside as she hands him her suit after removing it. Dante flares up because crap this woman. He hands it back as she nods and accepts it putting it back on. "Thank you. How will we get back?" he says close your eyes as she does "Is this safe to be blind out here?"

Dante laughs as he says open them and she looks to see the city wall. She jerks around and looks as he nods. "Don't share that otherwise I will be very cross with a soon to be eaten person." she just nods her head and after a moment smiles "You are rather calm concerning what I just said."

She looks to him and laughs. "I just realized something." he nods "I am my only risk so as long as I keep my word and obey you than I am fine." he laughs and nods as he smiles "Thank you Master."

He stumbles in his steps and glances over as he keeps walking. Yep, you did this to yourself dumbass. He shakes his head as he makes the other appear in his arms wrapped in the emergency blanket to cover her. At the gate he calls out and updates the Patrollers on the loss of people plus rescue effort to save these two.

Diana supports and agrees to everything he says so quickly it gets settled as even he was impressed. After it was just the two he motions and she follows as they head to Mary. Seeing him she goes to smile and stops seeing just the two of them. "What happened out there Carnivore?" Dante gives the fact adjusted version as she sighs and sits down. He steps around and puts a hand on her shoulder. "At least you came back safely. I am sorry I thought with their record you would have been safe."

Dante just rocks her a little and smiles. "It is a good thing you did." she looks to him "Since I was there two of them managed to come back and not be killed off." she nods and shakes her head "Plus while I was enjoying my swim I actually found some of those fish."

She can't help but laughs at him and his damn smile. "You are such a carnivore." he nods as he motions and sets one down as it flops around "They are still alive?!"

Dante laughs as he looks to her holding it down. "Well I was swimming and there was a lot of the bastards." she is laughing as she helps him then slips a knife in killing it cleanly "Oh how I wish I knew what you just did there."

She looks to him and thinks. "You have a whole host of various things still alive don't you?" he nods and she laughs some "Give me a treat and I will teach you." she laughs as he says name something from out there "I want to eat a Bloom while petting a Night Death."

Dante looks to her and smiles. "You promise?" she is laughing as she nods "Then Mary get ready to kill your Bloom." she looks as he drops another flopping fish on a cutting board but before she can react suddenly a massive black cat is also there with his hand on it "No need to hunt brother. For now this friend of mine wishes to feel your fur before we head home."

She kills the bloom cleanly like the fish before and as she prepared the meat for the four of them she does lean against the giant cat and smiles enjoying her fresh fillets. "You are indeed full of surprises." he nods as she smiles "Okay now pay attention. It isn't the same in every fish or species but this is what to look for."

He is heading home nearly a half hour later having spent the time and practiced on several fish and an eel. He gave all of it to her as she nods and smiles saying she will prep the Adder Fish he gave her for him. He looks up and sees an expensive car as he already feels a headache forming. Once he gets closer a window lowers and he hears a voice. "Hello young man. May I have a moment of your time?"

Dante keeps walking and talks as he passes the window. "I was raised not to get in cars with strangers." she looks to him and nods as he isn't stopping, she isn't "Once we get back I will introduce you to the rest and then you can pick your room." she nods and he smiles "I know you will like it since we do try and make our home enjoyable."

The man who had laughed some at his words thinks and the vehicle starts up as they are now beside them following. "I want to offer you some help young man. I hear you work tirelessly and recently you even went on a mission above your place. By what you said it seems to have not gone well." Dante looks over as he keeps walking "Using lower quality will end in bad results. My family could properly outfit you and those you pick."

Dante takes a couple steps real quick as he spins sending a kick into the front of the car and thanks to the hover tech it spins out into the road as a box truck slams into it. He knows they will be fine and walks up slowly as now people are checking out what happened. "You think a wallet lets you insult the memories of a Hunter team that got attacked by a Leviathan today?" We nearly died and despite being nearly half a day away we made it back with an injured companion. I dare you to mock our fallen again!"
