Monstienapped - chapter 2
((Had to rewrite this whole thing cuz i accidentally posted it when it wasn't finished and i was unable to copy it all down at once cuz tumblr is a bitch hhh... ;w;))
((Also, final boss spoilers for those who haven't beaten/gotten stories 2 yet!!))
"...monsties are mysteriously dissapearing all over the place, and the first one was taken from your home village, philip."
The scrivener's lodge fell silent, with the only sounds being soft footsteps and distant conversations.
"..what??" Philip gasped, eyes wide at the news lilia had just given him.
Lilia let out a small sigh "..yes, it is rather alarming news...we are hard at work at trying to find the reasonings behind these dissapearances, yet have only been able to find very vague clues." She replied.
"..Could this manelger guy be behind these dissapearances?" Kyle wondered, looking at the girl. Lilia shook her head "it is very unlikely, however, if that is the case, then that would mean he is working with the people who are capturing monsties." She replied.
"Why are they capturing monsties?" Philip asked. Lilia turned to her desk and picked up a few papers, looking and reading through them "well, as i said before, we know very little about their motives and reasoning..yet, some of us fear that they mey be doing this to try and resurrect oltura..."
Philip froze at the mention of oltura, memories of the cradle of destructions' disasterous rampage flashing through his mind...along with the death of guardian ratha..
Kyle and lilia looked at philip with mildly worried expressions. Kyle reached his hand out towards the other riders' shoulder, stopping when lilia cleared her throat, causing him to drop his hand "you two should go to mahana village and make sure nobody was harmed, me and the scriveners will inform you on any new information we find on our culprits." She said.
Kyle nodded and looked at philip once again growing worried for him "hey phil..you ok?" He asked. Philip suddenly snapped from his thoughts and looked at kyle, blinking a few times as he returned to reality "what? O-oh, yeah, i'm fine..." he replied "um...l-let's just go get our monsties and head towards hakolo island already.." he turned around and walked through the doorway.
Kyle knew something was wrong with his companion with the way they stuttered and hesitated. He followed them out of the scriveners' lodge and walked beside them, looking at their face. Their blue eyes lost most of their cheerful sparkle, and it almost looked as if almost all the color in their skin had been drained away..
Turning to his monstie, he was suprised to see a group of small kids playing with razzar and feeding him donuts, the azure rathalos looking both happy and a little overwhelmed, despite being just as hyper as they were most of the time. "Hey, i wouldn't feed my rathalos donuts if i were you. They aren't good for him, and he's already pretty hyper without the extra sugar." He said to the kids, who looked up at him with nervous stares "o-oh, s-sorry mister..." one of them said.
Kyle sighed "it's fine i guess, just make sure you ask before you act." He got up on razzar's back, the azure rathalos taking to the skies after ratha and philip, who had been waiting for them above the town.
The two los riders soared across the ocean, kyle once again worrying about philip. They had slipped back into their thoughts as they flew, ratha also seeming to be able to sense that something was amiss with its rider.
"Philip..you sure you're ok?" Kyle speaking once again snapped philip from his thoughts. The rider clad in zamtrios armor looked at his partner, having the same confused look in his eyes as before "um...y-yeah? Why do you ask?" He replied.
"Somethings' bothering you, ever since lilia mentioned oltura, you've been acting a little strange..." kyle said. Philip sighed, fidgeting with the handle of rathas' saddle "it's just...after seeing all the destruction and death oltura caused and learning about my grandfather..i don't want to lose anyone else..." he said.
Kyle furrowed his eyebrows as philip spoke "listen phil, we will stop these guys from taking any more monsties, and stop this manelger guy from controlling monsters too." He said to them in a soft, confident tone "and if they do succeed in bringing back oltura, we'll deffeat them just as we did before; with the power of our kinship." He clutched the hand with his kinship stone on it into a fist and pointed it in philip's direction.
The other rider listened to Kyle as they spoke. He processed their words for a few moments and, with a confident grin, he copied kyle's hand gesture, their fists bumping together "you're right, those monstienappers are no match for the power of kinship!" He said with a grin.
Kyle chuckled softly, a soft pink hue dusting across his cheeks "heh, there's the philip i know." He said, going back to holding onto razzar's saddle with both hands "wanna race the rest of the way to hakolo?" He asked.
Philip grinned "you're on, but don't expect me to go slow and easy like on your flying lessons~" he teased, causing kyle's face to turn red from embarrassment "h-hey! Atleast by the sixth attempt i was able to some-what steer blister!" He retorted. Philip laughed, causing kyle's heart to skip a beat "yeah, some-what...let's go ratha!" He leaned forwards on his rathalos, ratha roaring as he flew forwards with a sudden burst of speed.
Kyle was stunned by the shockwave of air from ratha's wings "oh no you don't! C'mon razzar, let's show these guys who's fastest!" He said to his monstie, razzar roaring in response before flying in the direction of ratha, flapping his wings as hard as he could to keep up with the slightly larger rathalos.
"Heh, told ya i was getting better-AGH!!" Kyle said once he caught up with philip, about to lean back on his monstie when a sudden spray of seawater hit his face. He whiped the water off his face and rubbed his eyes as they stung from the salt, face turning red when he heard philip's terrifieingly adorable giggle ahead of him "you're getting better at flying, but you still have a lot to learn about staying alert!" They said, ratha flapping upwards to rocket into the sky, causing more seawater to splatter into kyle's face, also onto razzar.
Kyle groaned as he shook the seawater out of his hair and flew upwards after philip, the two riders flying together in a long spiral before diving downwards. They looked at eachother as their monsties flew back-to-back, and while philip was able to lift up from the sea right before they hit it, kyle was sent crashing into the water.
Kyle coughed and groaned as he struggled to shake most of the sea water off, razzar letting out an irritated growl as he did the same. Philip giggled "like i said, always stay alert." He said "oh shut up..." kyle pouted, crossing his arms and looking away from his companion.
Finally, the two riders made their way to hakolo island. They let their monsties rest down by the beach to dry off from splashing eachother during their flight and to recover some energy before walking into mahana village. The place looked fairly roughed up, with chunks of the boardwalk missing and many of the buildings torn to shreds, there was also, strangely, many large scorch and bitemarks, meaning that whatever attacked breathed fire and had a nasty habit of biting things.
"Philip!" A familiar voice called philip's name, and before he could react, kayna enveloped him in a tight hug "i'm so happy to see you again, newbie!" Philip let out a small wheeze from how tight the hug was "thanks kayna, my factured ribs are happy to see you too-"
Philip gasped as he caught his breath, really forgetting how strong kayna truely was (buff kayna supremacy, bitches) "..a-also, i'm not a newbie anymore." He said. Kayna giggled "heh, i know, but i still like to call you that sometimes." She replied, stepping aside as chief gara approached.
"i see that you have continued to grow stronger, along with making a new ally." The wyverian said, philip smiled "yup! Me and kyle are best buds!" He replied, resting his arm on kyle's shoulder, despite being a little shorter than they were.
Kyle mildly blushed at the gesture, but kept his focus on kayna and mahana village's chief "we came here after hearing that mahana was attacked from lilia, was anybody hurt?" He asked "afew, yes, and the village took a pretty good beating too, but for the most part, we're pretty sturdy." Kayna replied "well, minus the fact that all of our monsties were stolen..." she sighed.
"..do you know what attacked and took all the monsties?" Philip asked "it was an anjanath, but unlike any we've previously seen, as its body was clad in a powerful metallic hide." Chief gara replied "the last we've seen of it was near the pona grasslands after an odd gem on its snout was cracked by kayna's kinship attack. The beast went on a sudden rampage, the monsties ran away out of fear, never returning ever since."
"Don't worry, we'll find that anjanath and make sure it doesn't hurt anyone else." Philip said, determined. Chief gara slowly nodded "be careful, that beast is different from any other anjanath you may have faced." He replied.
Kyle and philip walked out of the village and towards the pona grasslands, choosing to let their monsties rest a little longer, they went their on foot. kyle looked around, the grasslands were completely normal, the aptonoth grazing without a care in the world "guess it went somewhere else.." he said, arms crossed "if i where an anjanath with wierd mind-controlling armor, where would i hide..." philip mumbled, his right thumb and pointer finger resting on his chin as he thought about where the brute wyvern might've ran off to.
The two riders continued their investigation, following their scoutflies when they picked up the monsters' trail, the glowing green insects dissapearing into the darkness of the entrance of guardian ratha's den.
"Guess it's in there.." kyle huffed, looking at philip, who was once again beginning to look nervous. He blushed lightly as he reached out his hand, gently holding the other riders' hand "there's nothing to be afraid of, we've faced worse monsters than an anjanath, and even if we don't have our monsties with us, we'll stop it no matter what." He said.
Philip looked at kyle as they spoke, also blushing when they held his hand. He nodded, not letting his fear control him, and, with a few deep breaths to calm his nervous heart, he took the first step into the guardian ratha woods.
