Dee Dee had once again returned to the English country side, she didn't mind the place it was nice and scenic, but really she came here a lot cause of the amount of villages that popped up in the area, which made sense when you took into account that most of the US was a blasted hell scape, and this place was rather Idyllic in looks, one just had to be careful of the monsters but a great deal of agriculture could take place here and that food could be shipped to the small villages, the larger towns, the safe zones, and thanks to the waypoints to other places in the world that they had access to. That wasn't to say other places didn't have farms, but the most seemed to be in this area, but again considering it's more welcoming climate and features that made a lot of sense.

She was here due to a mission she got for hunting, something that was rather needed due to the farms not being able to keep up with meat production quite yet, after all it took time for animals to grow to the point where you could get the most out of them, so supplementing that with hunted meat was the best means of some small villages and towns to ensure they got enough meat for at least a large portion of their population, real meat anyway, sure one could just buy a burger from the system shop, but Dee Dee had found them to be like convenience store burgers, they did the job but real ones were far more tasty!

Regardless Dee Dee Flew in on her warp star, she had a partner for this mission and she was looking around for them, she knew they should be around here somewhere, BombDee, Jimmy, and Kramer where helping her look as they flew around, thankfully there was easily enough room for them all on the star. As they flew about BombDee reached over and gently tugged on Dee Dee's sleeve which made her look over to her round companion who was pointing at the ground. Looking down she seen someone and as she opened her map she noted they were marked as an ally so that was likely the person she was teamed up with for the mission, so with a thumbs up to BombDee she turned the start around and came down near the woman.

The small girl hopped off the star with her summons, and let the star pop back into her inventory to save on energy for it incase they needed it later but considering it was just a hunting mission she doubted they would need it, she then walked over to the woman and her Word Bubble popped up "Hello there I believe we are partners in the hunting mission! I'm Dee Dee and this is BombDee, Kramer, and Jimmy! What's your name?" the word bubble filled in with those words rather then Dee Dee actually speaking, and she gestured to each of her friends in turn then waited for a reply from the woman.

Hikari

Dee Dee waved to the Woman one more time, glad to hear she found her partner for the mission, "Nice to meet you Hikari!" the word bubble had written on it in big friendly letters as she gave a thumbs up, then she looked at the mission again to make sure she got the work right, hunting, that would be perfectly fine, so then she looked around to her friends and nodded to them, she already had a bit of a plan on how to proceed if she was alone, altering it to include Hikari would be easy enough, and so with that in mind... and with Jimmy crawling up Dee Dee to rest on the top of her head she looked back to her partner for the mission Hikari.

"Ah good deer should make for good hunting, but if we see anything else that we could hunt make note of it, they just need extra meat after all" the word bubble presented as Dee Dee looked in the direction that Hikari had pointed, she then took out a wand and pointed to Kramer who took to the air and BombDee started to Follow Dee Dee, "Come on stay low and quiet and we can probably get into range, Oh I am a summoner by the way what class are you and are you ranged or melee? I can use ether but my max range is about twenty meters, but I have a few other ranges options from closer ranges if needed" the word bubble informed Hikari as Dee Dee made her way to the brush area with BombDee following close behind her.

The small girls steps where very quite as she headed up to the bushes and carefully parted them to slip between them as silently as possible, it was clear she was used to hunting as she took the lead looking for tracks to follow.

Hikari

Dee Dee listened to the Ideas of her partner and nodded slowly so as to not disturb the brush around them, as she tracked the Deer and after some time they came upon a group of them, Dee Dee peaked out at them and looked them over, taking note of the males as the word bubble filled in for Hikari to read "We try to take only males, this time of year the females might have already mated so they may be carrying young, we don't want to effect the population that much, a few males will not heavily affect the population as long as we leave enough to repopulate the herd after, they look like normal Deer as well so we don't have to worry about any nasty surprises"

The Idea of a clean cut was a good one but they could catch more with some aim at the legs to slow them down, a mix of Hikari's strategy and her own would likely be best, as she wasn't sure how many Hikari could cut down if they all ran past her, so wounding some in the legs would make them easier to track, and they would be left behind by the herd if they gave chase. Above Kramer was watching the herd for Dee Dee While she reached out and had Jimmy slip down from her head onto her arm and then to the ground.

She pointed and Jimmy nodded and the small Larva crawled away "I will have Jimmy move to the other side of the clearing, if the detect him they won't see him as a threat so no worries on that, after hs is in place we can strike, I will open up with a move to get them running, Kramer will try to Direct them from the air by doing swooping attacks on them, BombDee will stay with you to try to take others out, I think we can get maybe six to eight of the males out of this herd without affecting them to much, I will aim for the legs to slow any down that I can so we can get as many as possible, but I think even if we do get all eight we might need a bit more meat for the mission completion, so after this lets look for some boar they would be a bit easier to get since they would attack us rather then run off, and getting rid of them would be helping make the area safer and get meat all at the same time!" her plan laid out in the word bubble as she waited for Jimmy to be in position.

Jimmy for his part continued to move to the other side of the clearing, even going through the herd of deer, they didn't see him as a threat at all and some even stopped to sniff him but other then that they didn't react to the larva, so he didn't have to stay hidden he just continued to crawl until he was on the other side of the clearing and then turned around to look at the herd of Deer.

"Okay get ready... this will get a bit chaotic" the word bubble informed Hikari as Dee Dee started to glow, as did BombDee, Kramer and Jimmy as she activated one of her abilities, then she gave a thumbs up to Hikari before she vanished, and in her place was Jimmy the Ant Larva, Putting Dee Dee on the opposite side of the clearing, with her wand out Dee Dee burst from the bushes and fired a blast from the wand at one deer aiming for the leg and knocking it over from the force of the shot, and with the other hand she threw out a dagger that looked like a petal of a Sunflower, and it hit another deer in the leg, not knocking it over but the blade clearly cut deep and the Deer Staggered as it tried to get running.

With Dee Dee bursting out of the bushes the Deer reacted by trying to scatter, only a few headed towards Hikari, but then Kramer swooped down and swatted at one of the deer that was heading in a different direction, he missed but succeeded in forcing the deer to change course as well as the ones following it, making them turn to go towards the direction that Hikari, Jimmy, and BombDee where in. With Jimmy already going up a tree to not get trampled and BombDee ready and hidden to get the jump on any of the Deer that got close.

Hikari

As the Deer Fell and Hikari called out to Dee Dee, BombDee burst out from hiding and landed next to a deer that had tripped and let out a power punch, dealing with that deer quickly, though it was clear that he would take time to recover from the swing, so instead of taking that time the Waddle-dee suddenly disappeared and Dee Dee appeared in his place and she threw another dagger at the head of one of the fallen deer while her wand aimed at another taking another two out, before Kramer swooped in and used his claws to swat at the throat of another downed deer, the deer that Dee Dee had injured previously was the only one left of the eight they needed and so Dee Dee looked over to it as it tried to run and she seen that it was going past the Tree Jimmy was in, so she suddenly disappeared and Jimmy appeared where Dee Dee had been standing.

Now in the Tree where Jimmy had been Dee Dee was above the Deer and she lifted her arm and a ball of energy formed in it that she threw at the deer hitting it in the head as it passed under the tree, that was all eight that they were targeting and Dee Dee nodded to herself as she hopped down and grabbed the Deer hauling it over to the other downed deer while BombDee did the same with the first one Dee Dee had killed, making a nice pile of the eight Deer.

"Well that went well, glad none got away, I getting a good look at them I think we actually might have enough meat here with just them, we should take the time to drain the blood so they stay fresh though" the word bubble informed Hikari as Dee Dee took out the base parts of her cart and BombDee and Kramer started to put them together while Dee Dee herself started to move the Deer to start draining the blood.

"We could also cut them up into proper portions but I think they have people in the village that will want to do that since they will likely get EXP and levels from doing their work so best to just drain them" the word bubble added as Dee Dee set to work "Draining them of blood is easy, just cut along here and then tilt the body to let the blood drain, we can also hang them instead that would drain them even faster, I have rope if you don't mind hanging them" she asked through the word bubble as she took out the rope.

Hikari

Dee Dee let Hikari handle hanging the deer, she did make sure to cut a few to drain while she was hanging others though so the process wasn't to long, She did hear her stop from saying maybe servants? survivors? regardless it didn't really matter that was all back before the flash, and Dee Dee while curious could tell the woman was avoiding talking about it after all she was correcting herself and stopping herself from saying it so she likely didn't want to talk about it. So she left it alone, no need to pry after all. Hikari did agree about letting the villagers do the cutting and portioning of the deer and Dee Dee nodded rapidly.

As the Deer were draining BombDee and Kramer finished putting together then cart, it was Dee Dee sized but it could easily help them take the Deer back with little issue, after all being strong was handy but that didn't make it easier to carry cumbersome loads like eight whole deer. The question of the Boar came up and Dee Dee looked around at the aftermath and shook her head.

"No the smell of blood and the noise likely would have cause anything else in the area to scatter, and again these deer are bigger then thought they were at first glance so I think this will be more then enough meat for the mission, don't want to over hunt after all, let the animals get back to thinking the place is safer rather then hunt more and have them leave the area for longer. Makes hunting more sustainable in the future" the words appeared in the word bubble as Dee Dee moved over to the first fully drained deer and put it on the cart.

Time would pass and the Deer would drain and be moved to the cart before Dee Dee took up the front of the cart and looked over to Hikari, "That's all we need now we just need to deliver it to the village!" the word bubble informed as Dee Dee started to pull the cart along, her stats making her quite strong despite her smol size.
