Monsters Attack

Inazuma.

Ei's POV.

"Why are these things attacking!?" Ayaka questioned me while fighting off a Narwa, "Didn't those guys from Kamura say they were harmless unless angered!?" She pointed out, leading to my further confusion.

"I read from some books they brought that this is a monster that makes use of the Thunder Element, it must have been attracted by the natural Electro Energy surrounding Inazuma!" Miko explained to us, clearing the confusion.

Right as that was cleared up, a large Thunderlord Zinogre leaped at me, but I managed to parry it's swipes, "What about these other monster!?" I questioned my pink haired friend.

"They also cause an incredible rampage in all monsters around them!" Miko added as she used her Catalyst to cage the Zinogre in Electro.

A moment after, Kokomi use her Catalyst to make a wave that crushed against the Electro Cage making it explode and stunning the Zinogre, "Now Shogun!" She exclaimed at me.

Wasting no time I acted at that prompt and quickly moved to cut the Thunder wolf's head in half, "Doubt it'll come back from that." I comment as the upper half of it's head falls besides me.

As the Zinogre's body fell to the ground, I saw that all of the other monsters began retreating, "It must have been leading the horde." Miko hypothesized, seeing that the Narwa was also leaving.

"Why did it come here only now though?" Kokomi asked the Shrine Maiden, "Wait that's right, why didn't it come here in the twenty years it could have?" I ask too, now wondering the same thing.

"I... Have no idea..." Miko responded disappointedly, "I don't really have a way to know why it came here, especially if the poeple from Kamura didn't know there was one attacking." She explained.

"I see you already dealt with the problem." I hear from behind me, turning around I see La Signora, Barbatos and Gloom.

Gloom walked over to the Zinogre's corpse before turning to me, putting her crow mask on, "Number two of the Fatui, The Hannya, now on duty." She stated, clearly wanting to make this official business, "Fill me in now." She requested.

Alhaitham's POV.

"What a time for this to happen..." I muttered to myself as I kept tangling the incoming monsters in vines.

Taking a look around, I see how the monsters seem to have stopped coming for the moment, "Guys, let's regroup!" I yell to catch everyone's attention.

As we gather to a central spot, Tighnari starts talking "Whatever these things are, they're very smart, some of them stood back an watched how I fight and learned how to avoid my attacks." He recounted.

"They're monsters Tighnari." Collei said, "But had luck there, I had an Athal Ka on my front that managed to learn how to use a bow!" She recounted her part.

"It learned?" I repeat questioningly, "This might be even more troubling than I originally thought, imagine if they somehow learned how to use Delusions." I point out, noticing the two shivering at the thought.

As we talked, I noticed that Cyno finally came back, bringing Nahida AND Shimmer, "Good you're here, they stopped coming for the time being, but I doubt it'll last." I explain.

"Holy shit!" Shimmer exclaims seeing all the monsters I caught, "Let me see... Two Magnamalos, a regular Pukei-Pukei, two Coral Pukeis, two Blackveil Vaal Hazaks, a Savage Deviljho, three Furious Rajangs and an Ashen Lao-Shan Lung, what the fuck is Dendro made of!?" She listed, finishing off with that aggravated exclamation.

Shimmer's POV.

After I finished listing, I noticed that everyone was looking at me with surprised expressions on their faces, "What?" I asked them.

"Is this another case of information leak thing?" Nahida questioned, "Cause if it is? This might not be that big of a deal." She pointed.

"Yeah, if you know the weaknesess of at least the stronger monsters, everything should be a lot easier." Cyno said in agreement.

I hummed at those two points, "I guess I know a few things." I confirm, "First thing of order, Fatalis." I start.

"What about this Fatalis thing?" Cyno asked, "If it has a name synonimous to deadliness it must be dangerous." He points out.

"Yes, giant dragon with black scales and long neck." I describe the beast, "It's an aberration against nature and if you see it, you should just kill yourselves cause there's no fighting that thing without horrible mental scars." I say with as much seriousness as I could muster.

Safe to say they looked absolutely horrified, "So if we see that thing all hope is lost, great" Nahida summarized, already sounding defeated.

As they were talking about what to do in that scenario, I happened to look up and spotted something, "Do you see that thing too?" I asked them, prompting them to look up.

"I do." Thignari conirmed, "But I can see it well enough to describe it." He informed, much to my displeasure.

"It's a Narwa." I heard the familiar voice of Gloom from behind me, to which I immediately turned and gave her a tight hug which she reciprocated, "Wait what are you doing here? I thought you were adding greenery to your nation." She pointed out in confusion.

Gloom's POV.

After a quick explanation, all I could do in response is sigh as I looked at all the trapped monsters, "Dawn's Judgement." I simply state, using my Vision to create thunderstrikes that hit all of the monsters dead on, frying them to death.

"...W-Was that really necessary?" Collei asked me in concern at how unbotheredly I did that, "They're still living beings!" She pointed out.

"Look there's already a huge problem without rampaging monsters, and that Narwa is headed to Fontaine right now." I inform, making them realize that we really have no time to waste.
