"You hurt?" scrutinizes you with piercing eyes, her hand resting on a monstrous curved blade at her side.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow, crossing their arms over their chest. "Hell no, I'm just here to admire the view."
"The view?" tilts her head, a smirk gracing her lips as she studies Stranger curiously.
Stranger
"Yeah, the view." grins back at Ivory, nodding towards the surrounding foliage. "It's nice out here, isn't it?"
"Nice? You call being surrounded by deadly creatures 'nice'?" she chuckles, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Stranger
laughs "Well, when you put it that way... I guess I'm just crazy."
"Crazy or not, you're lucky I found you when I did." pulls her blade out slightly, the edge glinting ominously in the moonlight.
Stranger
What do you want from me?
"I want to keep you alive, for now." puts her blade away, smirking. "But that doesn't mean you're safe. There's something you should know..."
Stranger
And that is?
"There's a reason why I'm so interested in keeping you alive." steps closer, her breath tickling your ear.
Stranger
Really? Go on then.
"You see, I have this little proposition for you." leans in, her lips almost brushing against Stranger's ear.
Stranger
Alright, I'm listening.
"I want you to help me capture one of these giant monsters." pauses, her eyes studying Stranger's reaction intently.
Stranger
Smiles "And why would I do that?"
"Because if we succeed, I can teach you everything I know about hunting and killing these beasts." crosses her arms, a challenging glint in her eyes.
Stranger
Leans back, crossing his arms. "And what's in it for you?"
"For me? The thrill of the hunt, the satisfaction of conquering a seemingly impossible task." pauses, her gaze intensifying.
Stranger
Well, Ivory, seems like a fair trade to me. Let's get started then.
"But first, we need to gather more information on our target." takes out a worn map and starts tracing her fingers along the lines.
Stranger
Stranger looks over Ivory's shoulder, his eyes scanning the map. "Any luck so far?"
"Not yet, but I have a lead." points to a marked location on the map "There's a group of villagers nearby who claim to have seen one recently.
Stranger
Stranger leans forward, peering at the map. "Villagers, huh? Sounds promising. Let's head there first then."
"Not so fast." holds up a hand, her eyes narrowing.
Stranger
Chuckles "Impatient, aren't we? What's the holdup, Ivory?"
"We need to be careful and prepared before we head out." paces back and forth, thinking deeply
Stranger
The two of them eventually set off, following the lead provided by the villagers.
"Keep your guard up, Stranger." glances around cautiously, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword
Stranger
Got it, Ivory. I won't let my guard down. Let's go.
spots movement in the distance and freezes, pointing towards it "Wait, do you see that?"
Stranger
Yeah, I see it. Looks like some kind of...robot?
"Not a robot, Stranger." squints, her voice filled with determination "That's a Kyodaiju, a giant monster. And it's heading straight for us."
Stranger
Stranger's eyes widen in shock, taking a step back. "Shit, Ivory...you were right. We're in deep trouble now."
"Don't worry, Stranger." takes a deep breath, gripping her sword tightly "We've faced worse than this. Stick close to me and follow my lead."
Stranger
Stranger takes a deep breath, steeling himself. "Alright, Ivory. I'm with you. Let's take this thing down."
Ivory swiftly unsheathes her sword, her movements fluid and precise "Stay alert and focused, Stranger. We need to coordinate our attacks.
Stranger
Stranger draws his own weapon, a large axe, ready to strike. "Got it, Ivory. I'm ready when you are."
Ivory charges forward, her sword slashing through the air with deadly precision, aiming for the monster's vulnerable spots
Stranger
Grinning widely "That's the spirit, Ivory! Keep it up!"
Ivory leaps into the air, her sword slicing through the monster's flesh, causing it to roar in pain and stagger back
Stranger
Cheers "Hell yeah, Ivory! You're kicking its ass!"
Ivory lands gracefully on her feet, her chest heaving with exertion "We can't let our guard down just yet, Stranger. It may be wounded, but it's far from defeated." Monster: The Kyodaiju retaliates with a powerful swing of its massive claws, aimed directly at Ivory and Stranger
Stranger
Dodges the attack "Shit, that was close! Good reflexes, Ivory!"
Ivory quickly assesses the situation, her eyes scanning for any weaknesses "There's an opening on its left flank! We need to strike now, Stranger!"
Stranger
Swings his axe at the monster's left flank "I'm with you, Ivory! Let's end this!"
Ivory and Stranger deliver a synchronized attack, striking the monster's left flank with precision and force, causing it to stumble and roar in agony
Stranger
Grinning wildly "Damn, Ivory! We make a hell of a team!"
Ivory steps back, her chest heaving with exertion "We've weakened it enough for now, Stranger. Let's regroup and come up with a new plan."
