Ruko and Reia's Jungle Adventure-Ch3(Monster Hunter Anthros)

Kino woke up and swapped guard with Roy, though the dragon was past the point of being able to sleep. As such, he simply went with her to find breakfast. A short meal of Kelbi, and they were both ready and raring to...relax the day away in comfort for once.

 

Once more, Reia had split off from Roy. He wasn't concerned, she could handle herself. He instead went sunbathing on a river shore, arms behind his head. He sighed in relaxation, knowing that the nearby Green Plesioth wouldn't bother him.

 

Mostly because he had threatened the piscine anthro just minutes before with a flash of fangs and wing. Wanting nothing to do with almost certain death, the woman stayed well clear.

 

Kino, meanwhile, was cavorting around the rainforest like she owned it. In the absence of a bigger predator...technically she did. Ruko wasn't interested in owning anything but that desert cave. Reia was actually shocked he hadn't made any sort of move on her in the past two years.

 

Perhaps he really *wasn't* interested, and was just a damn pervert.

 

The Rathian sighed, head leaning back as she watched the treetops.

 

There, in the trees, a shadow moved. The Rathian narrowed her eyes, building up flame in her throat.

 

"Come out or I burn the forest down to get you." The she-wyvern threatened, staring coldly into the treetops.

 

"Hmm, so I've been spotted yet again. Bravo, Miss Rathian."

 

The ninja-like Nargacuga dropped to the floor, straightening himself up after a moment. He then bowed deeply.

 

"I have been watching you since you entered the forest. You and your mate display signs of battle with the fiercest of beasts."

 

"He's NOT my mate, and what of it?!" Kino asked hotly.

 

"I am here to simply inform you that I will not disturb you this time. My life is more important than my territory. However..."

 

"What." The Rathian replied bluntly, irritated.

 

"Perhaps you can help me with a problem of my own. There is another rampaging foe in my forest. Unlike the two of you, I am NOT willing to let his existence here be tolerated."

 

"Nnn?"

 

"Deviljho. He has been wandering around my forest, eating any and all that he sees. There is also a Khezu lurking in a cave nearby that needs to be dealt with. I would kill them both myself, but..."

 

The Narga looked to his bladed wings, said blades broken in places. They'd heal in time, but for the moment his hunting abilities were compromised. It was a blessing that most anthros were omnivorous, a result of their...curious collective ancestry.

 

"I...lack the power necessary."

 

"We'll...see. What's your name?" Kino asked, still slightly nervous to call the panther-like wyvern-anthro 'friend'.

 

"I am known as Kumori, and you?"

 

"Kino." The wyverness replied. "I'm going to let Roy, the Rukodiora, know about this. I'll take the Khezu out while he takes the Deviljho. Should be done by sundown tomorrow."

 

Kumori nodded.

 

"While there is no true rush, I would much prefer these two be disposed of as soon as possible. Sending an Elder Dragon to deal with the Brute Wyvern is a fantastic idea, one that I wish I had thought of earlier."

 

The Narga bowed once more, before leaping into the treetops. Kino couldn't follow him after only a few seconds, the wyvern simply...gone. Even his scent trail stopped dead after only a few paces.

 

Reia shrugged, turning around to find the lazy dragon.

 

A storm had started on her way back, and Reia began running to the cave. If anywhere, he'd be there now. She was beginning to shiver, the cold rain slipping under her breast plates and making direct contact with her unprotected skin.

 

"R-r-roy better be ready with that f-fire..." She mumbled, dashing into the cave. Indeed, the Rukodiora had the fire still roaring. He was sitting by it and drying off, and waved when he saw the chilly woman.

 

"Oh geez Reia, come here." He commanded, and the wyverness instantly settled into his lap. He gasped a bit in shock, but then wrapped his arms around her.

 

"D-D-Dry me off!" She yelped. "I'm cold!"

 

He used his blanket to dry her off, the fabric soaking through with the water on her scales and skin. She was still shivering, and Ruko did what he did last night: using her blanket, he spooned with her, hands around her waist. Like last night in the desert, his hands didn't move from her stomach, deliberately avoiding taking advantage of her state.

 

Reia cooed in comfort, finally, as she was lulled to sleep by his heat. She was sure there was something she was supposed to tell him, but it could wait until she woke up.

 

---

The jungle storm had yet to subside. Kino was still playing 'little spoon' to stay out of the cold, and she felt her nether plates wide open from her constant shivering an hour ago.

 

She slid her vaginal and breast plates back, relaxing into his hold and glad he hadn't taken advantage of her.

 

"How'd you sleep?" Roy asked her, oblivious to her internal monologue.

 

"Just fine, Ruko." She replied. "Ruko, that Narga from last time found me."

 

"Mmhm?"

 

"He said in exchange for free use of the rainforest from here on out, we had to kill a Deviljho and Khezu causing problems here."

 

Ruko tensed, and Reia could feel it as every muscle in his body tensed up in apprehension.

 

"A...Deviljho."

 

He sounded worried.

 

"Y-yeah." She replied, knowing how little he wanted to fight right now. "And A Khezu. I figured that I'd burn the Khezu to cinders and then come help you with the Deviljho."

 

"...this is so not fair." Ruko whined.

 

"Well...I'll make it worth your while then."

 

The bruised dragon looked at her curiously.

 

"Trust me." Reia said with a devious wink.

 

"Still...a Deviljho...Ugh...Of all the monsters I don't want to fight, had to be one of those." The dragon removed a hand from her waist to facepalm, underscoring his irritation. "I'm gonna be so bruised...but the Deviljho will spot us before long anyway. I guess we take him out while we still have the element of surprise."

 

They both stepped out into the rain, the air now quite humid. Ruko looked a bit uncomfortable, though Reia appeared fine.

 

"Alright. Torch that Khezu, come find me. Oh, hold on."

 

Ruko reached behind her, and what was left of her quills stiffened in nervousness.

 

"What are you doing back there!?"

 

"This."

 

A quick tug and a quill broke off in his hand. "Gonna stab him with this. With luck, it'll kill him outright."

 

"Coulda just ASKED..." The Rathian grumped, then took wing for the only other cave in the region. Logic dictated the Khezu would be there, while Roy took wing to find a trail of destruction leading him to the always-hungry brute.

===

 

Ruko found his target first. As he imagined, it wasn't very hard. Half-eaten herbivores were everywhere, as well as the wing of a Kut-Ku and the leg of a Hypnoc. It wasn't a pretty sight.

 

Cringing as he picked his way through the carnage, he heard the gnashing of jaws and a rough swallowing sound. The anthro took cover behind a tree and peeked around, seeing the Deviljho swallow the last of a blue scaled...something. If the previous bodies were any indication, this 'Jho had just crashed a territory war and simply consumed with impunity.

 

His over-active stomach acids practically broke down whatever he ate in a heartbeat, meaning this monster was never truly full. Localized extinctions followed 'Jho, and Ruko knew that he and Reia may very well have been the next on the menu.

 

He crept around the tree, then opened up with a black-colored blast of Dragon-Elemented energy. It slammed into the beast's back, making him stumble and look around as Ruko ducked back behind the tree. It shrugged after a few moments, going back to eating the nearby dead herbivore.

 

'Not the smartest guy, this one.' Ruko thought, holding Reia's razor-sharp quill in his hands. Roy came back around the corner and took wing, soaring across the clearing and jamming the poisonous hair under Deviljho's right shoulder blade.

 

He yelped in pain, flinching and grabbing for the quill. Due to his own bulk, he wasn't quite flexible enough to reach as the Rathian venom was pumped into his system. Instead, the wyvern swung around and tagged Ruko with his club-like tail. The teeth edging along his tail punched through a few of Ruko's plates, drawing blood as the Rukodiora anthro sailed out of control into a tree, which in turn collapsed on top of him.

 

"Ow, ow, ow..." Roy grumbled, pulling himself out of the fallen timber. He was sore and bleeding already, this is why he hated fighting Deviljho.

 

Roy stood and charged in, feinting to the right then coming in from the left with those stone-rending claws. The Deviljho reacted...by simply grabbing Ruko's wrist and squeezing. The dragon gasped as bone-crushing pressure was applied, grabbing the brute's wrist with his other hand in an attempt to get Jho off.

 

In a panic, Roy let loose with another magnet beam. Jho responded by delivering a vicious uppercut to Roy's chin, sending the dragon anthro soaring into another tree. The Deviljho chuckled darkly as he came after his newly acquired 'prey'. Roy groaned and shook his head, clearing his cloudy mind.

 

Dusting himself off, the Ruko anthro gasped when a shadow fell over him. The World-Eater tried to pounce on Roy, despite the paralytic Rathian venom already doing its damage. The Deviljho's entire right arm had locked up, while that same shoulder was experiencing rapid muscle death judging by the way the shoulder hung loosely.

 

The Elder Dragon rolled to avoid the sharp talons of Deviljho, tearing an iron-rich boulder out of the ground and hurling it into the Jho's face. The beast's nose broke and blood flowed freely from the injury.

 

This only served to make the olive-green wyvern angry.

 

His left shoulder and chest bulked up, various scars revealed by the increased blood flow as his potent form of adrenaline hit his veins. He also began salivating, the droplets of spittle making the grass sizzle on contact. Roy made a note to avoid contact at all costs. The 'Jho's right shoulder would have swollen up too, if it wasn't literally dead weight to him now.

 

The Deviljho then charged, which got a reaction from Ruko. The Rukodiora rolled forward...this was the wrong move. The olive-green brute took a deep breath and unleashed a wave of Dragon energy, almost like a dark flamethrower. It made contact with Ruko's thigh and burned into the plating there, incinerating it in an instant and torching the flesh beneath.

 

Ruko suddenly had a feeling of dread fall over him, like everything was going wrong.

 

Roy nearly fell over in pain, instead gasping and taking cover behind a thick jungle tree. The one good thing about this place: Cover was everywhere.

 

Another wave of black fire simply obliterated the tree, sending Ruko sprawling yet again. Spitting dirt and grass out of his mouth, Ruko stood and leveled a vicious uppercut into the Deviljho's face with a shout of "SHORYUKEN!"

 

The Jho's head snapped back, and the dragon followed it up with two punches to the gut and a kick to the side of the head. The Deviljho was floored for the moment, slowly getting up and wiping the blood from his chin with increasing difficulty.

 

Ruko noted that the Deviljho hadn't issued a threat all fight, nor a warning to leave, or even your generic "I'll kill you". Either he truly couldn't speak...or there was nothing to talk about. One of them would die, and that was that.

 

Ruko noticed something though. Very slowly, the puffiness of the Deviljho's rage was going away as the Rathian toxins continued to wreak uninhibited havoc on the Deviljho's bodily systems. The beast vomited almost immediately afterwards, though ignored the pain in favor of closing in on Ruko.

 

It threw a wide, sloppy punch at him, which was answered in turn by Ruko ducking and then throwing a few clawed jabs. Olive-green scale was ripped off in sheets, drawing blood from the bulkier beast.

 

Roy only had to keep himself alive a little longer...

 

Suddenly, the Deviljho clutched at his chest, staggering to the side. He turned his furious eyes to the Rukodiora, another dose of adrenaline making the Brute go for one last charge. Ruko waited, then dove to the side...and Deviljho clamped down on Ruko's left calf with his teeth.

 

The pain was immeasurable, and Ruko kicked the Deviljho in the face with his right foot, making damn sure to use his talons. Deviljho finally yelped as Roy split the wyvern's left eye wide open, blood gushing from the wound. Roy was released as the Deviljho flinched in pain, and the Elder Dragon inspected his own damage.

 

A great deal of the dark scales had been eroded away by the acidic saliva, revealing the pale skin beneath. That skin itself was suffering from a very light chemical burn, one that he would hopefully recover from eventually. The bite wound needed cleaning immediately, as the acid had burned through almost entirely to the other side at points.

 

Curiously, there was little blood. Perhaps the caustic spit had cauterized the wounds as well.

 

Ruko was down, but the Deviljho was worse off.

 

Blood loss, combined with the toxin, had finally killed him. The toxin reached his rapidly beating heart, and was then spread throughout his body.

 

The Deviljho was finally dead.

 

Roy limped over and slit the beast's throat for good measure.

 

"Fuck you too, buddy."

 

Now to find that Rathian that was supposed to have dealt with that Khezu.

 

"I swear to the gods themselves, if she's relaxing while I'm getting my ass kicked..." He trailed off dangerously, taking flight and avoiding using his leg for the time being.

---

 

Reia was in a cave. It was pitch black, but she could hear the Khezu sniffing around.

 

"Mmm...haven't smelled you in...four years, little Rathian..." He said in a low, creepy tone. "Still as spicy-sweet as always."

 

The ceiling.

 

Kino lit and threw a fireball at the roof, light casting on the Khezumorph.

 

"Y-you!" The Rathian raged, furious in a matter of seconds. "Silent!"

 

"Yes, me. Tell me, little Rathian. You enjoyed my ovipositor in you, didn't you? It's why you came back. Another chance for a Whelp in you..."

 

"No, bastard, I'm here to kill you." She replied hotly, memories resurfacing. Of him pinning her down, of him inside her...of her lucky escape. The mental images only served to make her more angry.

 

She tossed another fireball at where he last was. Predictably, he wasn't there anymore.

 

"I can smell you, you know. Smell the pheromones your nethers are putting out." Silent replied, his voice echoing from all around. "If I wanted, I could put a Whelp in you so easily."

 

"Prove it." She said without thinking. She was immediately pinned to the ground from behind, and a wave of electricity made her scream.

 

"Exactly what you said then, too." The Khezu said coolly. "So overconfident...and soon, so pregnant."

 

He rolled her over onto her back, his elastic neck pinning her head to the ground as he pushed loads of intoxicating fluids down her throat.

 

Kino's head began to swim, and her *everything* got hot. A heat only this wyvern on top of her could quench. She...she needed it. Whatever he was about to give her, she needed it.

 

"P-please...put i-it in me..." She moaned eventually, willpower overwritten by the intense dosage of aphrodisiacs in her stomach and blood.

 

"If you say so, my little breeding pit." Silent chuckled. "Don't struggle now, you remember where that scar came from, after all..."

 

He grinned and flashed his sharp teeth, which went totally unnoticed by the horny and high Rathian in the pitch dark.

 

She screamed in ecstasy when he pushed in, her intense high making her fluids spill almost immediately.

 

...and he screamed in pain when she spat a fireball at his penis, instantly incinerating it.

 

"I-I go-got you this time..." Kino stuttered, pushing the incapacitated Khezu off of her. "No wh-whelp then. No whelp this ti-time."

 

"AAAAAGH! YOU BITCH! I'LL MAKE SURE YOUR EVERY HOLE HAS A WHELP, YOU WHORE!" The pained Khezu screamed in the dark. He pinned her down again and shocked her, and Kino's pained response was to unleash a cluster-fireball at point blank range. Sure, she singed her face and hair a bit...but it got results.

 

The Khezu was suddenly a light source himself as his fatty hides caught fire and combusted, Silent betraying his name by screaming loudly until he finally...went silent. Reia picked herself up, panting as the aphrodisiacs continued to play hell with her body.

 

She may have managed to fight Silent off, but that didn't mean her hormones weren't all over the place. She had to go masturbate, or something. Still, the cave where she just killed her rapist didn't seem appropriate.

 

"Kin-Oh god, that smell." Ruko said, gagging. That lazy dragon was finally here, well past the point when she actually needed him. "Well, guess you, uh..." Ruko coughed. "Guess you got him."

 

"Yeah, I did." Kino replied quickly. She then grabbed him by the shoulder. "You. Me. Cave. NOW."
