Amalthus is befuddled.

That was no human presence. That was a beast, a monster, something distinctly alien and terrible.

...What exactly was this fight against?

If his assumption had been wrong.

Then what was this fight supposed to tell him?

He supposed it was time to find out.

With that thought in mind, he waited. It was not as if he knew how to arrange defenses, after all... perhaps, upon further watching, he would be able to determine it.

"Holy..."

"Is that... Grima?"

"Don't let this intimidate you, or you've already lost.", Heroes!Anna says to them.

"I will join a front chokepoint with Mom... still a little weird to know about. Anna and Jake, man some nearby Ballista. Sally, man one closer to the rear for backup. Natasha, join us near the front but stay behind us for now."

They all nod. Anna and Jake move towards the frontline Ballista while Sally moves to the backline.

Heroes!Anna and 3H!Anna move to the frontline, intent on defending the ballista from the soon-incoming wyverns as best they can, with Natasha standing near the frontline Ballista to fight against any wyverns that'll get past the frontline, ensuring that these Ballista aren't left defenseless in close combat.

"I'd feel a lot more sure of this if I had my horse...", she mutters to herself.

Mar Looks up, simply saying "I... expected that thing to be much smaller. Yeah I can see why we couldn't really kill that thing normally before we had jets and other aircraft... Although... a Balista might injure it." He looks at the various areas where stationary defenses can be placed, and remembers some intel he heard on what's available. "Alright, I might not be the best with such old gear, but I do know a thing or two about defensive placements."

Mar Lays out his plan, Where orange represents balistas for hunters/people other than villagers to man, brown represents bamboo bombs, and red represents villager manned balistas.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thegreatestplan.png

"Keep the ballistas at higher locations, for the most part. Place one behind the last gate, because Something tells me that I'll be strangled if I mess with that gong. If any of the locals here are willing to man the balistas, I suggest manning the front middle, two opposite middle balistas, and two of the back balistas. As for the bombs, put them in front of the gate, and in the sides of the central area. Remember, the fell dragon's not likely going to land, and they're really big, so firing balistas at them in a general manner is enough, likely. Would have prefered some machine guns, mortars, and surface to air missiles, or at least artillery, but we'll use what we have."

He looks to the others, before saying "Any second opinions?"

"None here."

As the airspace around the Stronghold becomes a blur of Wirebugs and the flying bodies they carry around, Reyna and MH!Anna (using the Dragonsong Charge Blade) move towards the front, taking one Ballista on either side of the front.

FT!Anna (who will henceforth be referred to as FE!Defense while in her current armored state) pilots her Hawk over to where Heroes!Anna is. A communications system crackles to life. "Commander," she broadcasts, "I'm here to hold up the back lines."

"... How do you two know each other?" asks Kirrey, who is huddled up against one of the furnace-like structures (they're the things resembling Ys on the map, of which there are four).

3 Rounds First Horde!

With setup finished early, it seems as if no time at all passes before the monsters begin swarming in.

KEY: Red = Stalker (will target hunters and Hunting Installations), Blue = Gate Crasher (will target the current frontmost gate), Green = Targeter (will attack hunters from afar with projectiles), Pink = Special (unique behavior)

Rajang x1

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_mhrise_rajang_render_001.png

A winged hell-panther and a huge croco-frog clamber on into the Red Stronghold. Meanwhile, a   M O N K E   FALLS FROM THE FUCKING SKY and lands on all fours - directly on top of the Bamboo Bomb Mar had instructed to be placed right behind the central tower. The bomb explodes, softening up the Rajang.

The Nargacuga crawls up towards anyone fighting on ground level with their own weapons, doing a big sweeping tail-swipe to try and clobber a whole bunch.

The Tetranadon lumbers towards the first gate, but Reyna and MH!Anna shoot explosive ballista shots at its head, causing it to go sprawling to the ground with Circling Birdies around its head.

Successfully stun!

The Rajang leaps into the air and spits a ball of lightning down at P!Anna's frontline ballista.

I'll gladly fight alongside you, Samsara!

The two step up to the frontline, while Camilla handle midline duty with Aokiji. Ryoma and Xander close by in the back. When the big monsters appears, Oboro and Samsara dodge its tail attack and slash at the head with their respective weaponry.

Mar Does a quick analysis on the enemies ahead, before seeing the Rajang fall right into its trap. He does a quick look over, summing up each one.

Nargacuga. Seems to be somewhat armoured, although not too heavily. Agile, Can likely close the distance on a ranged combatant, but doesn't appear to be too muscular. A melee combatant could take it down, and its Armoured portions might be able to soften up damage from bullets.

Tentranadon. Big boy. Likely not the fastest, but using bullets on it will likely be a waste, and so would going hand to hand without a massive weapon or something which can deal massive hits. Not to mention, likely can survive grenades.

And As the Rajang lands, Mar immediately yells out "I'm going for the hell gorilla. Something tells me that if that thing can go down like that, it went up by itself. I cant let that thing tear apart our balistas!" Being relatively close to the front, he moves over to the southern elevation, and begins to open fire with his assault rifle.

Amalthus doesn't take any time in targeting the Tetranadon. He swiftly "browses" through a decent amount of blade data before selecting an adequate weapon. Taking advantage of the monster's stunned state, Amalthus selects an ether cannon and unloads two basic, but powerful, shots of fire element ether at the monster's head, followed by a barrage of machine-gun like ether bullets.

Beginning the battle, he all but forgets his personal reasonings for entering the fight. He detaches himself from the moment all but entirely, focusing completely on destroying the enemy.

There's no personal connection, after all. No words have to be exchanged between him and a mindless monster.

"Thank you.", she says to FE!Defense, then looks at Kirrey.

"We don't. Not personally at least. But I still recognize her enough and that's all that matters. I could probably say the same for you, Summoner."

The Nargacuga then attacks, and the two Annas swiftly dodge, making good use of their agility.

"Right for the eyes!", 3H!Anna says, and after she does she fires an arrow at the Nargacuga's eye. Should this land perfectly, Heroes!Anna will try to make use of the situation by attacking with an upwards axe swing, aimed at the beast's neck. She is not playing around, going for the kill as much as possible.

"I'll fire a shot to help out here.", Jake says, then fires a Normal Ammo shot at the winged hell-panther, hoping that Ballista shots are still highly effective against winged enemies.

Natasha, meanwhile, reacts fast, choosing to use her arm shield to block the ball of lightning. Of course she still gets hurt in the process, but she manages to defend Anna's Ballista.

"Oh, that thing'll pay big for that!", Anna says, firing a Crag Shot to try and hit the Rajang. If it works, that might make Mar's attacks much more effective as well.

Stalkers

The combined assault on the Nargacuga... does not defeat it, though it deals major damage. Reyna fires her second Crag Shot to finish it off.

Repel monsters!

It rises up and promptly retreats, seemingly vanishing into the ether.

There's no time for celebration, though, because a Bishaten comes rushing in next.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mhrise_bishaten_render_001.png

It glides through the air before slamming its tail down on the wall Reyna and Jake are manning. If they don't use their provided Ironsilk bands to block the attack, the force of it will knock them away from their Ballistae (though not destroy the Ballistae, just damage them).

Gate Crashers

Tetranadon, meanwhile, rolls back on its feet. Shrugging off the projectiles fired at it, it reaches the first gate and promptly slams its weight against it.

First Gate HP: ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ -3

Another Tetranadon enters the fray. This one is almost twice the size of the one already present, indicating its status as a Ruffian.

Ruffian - Has the same behavior as a normal monster, but is much larger and stronger.

Targeters

The Rajang gets stunned by P!Anna's Crag Shot, leaving it open for Mar to whale on.

Successfully stun!

Back Lines

Kirrey, with his tactical mind, notices how little damage the weapon attacks are doing.

He then notices the Counter Gong on the southern end of the back lines. Grabbing a Wirebug that's just floating there vibing, he slingshots himself from the north end (where he was huddled by the furnace) to the south end and rings the gong.

A Counter Signal was fired!

Rampage ~ Counter Signal

Oh yeah, this is big damage time. All weapon attacks (including Jake's personal Ballista but not any other type of ballista) now have their power multiplied by 10 for 2 rounds.

Amalthus switches tactics, switching his weapon to a bitball and letting dark ether flow through it, enlarging the weapon to several times its normal size. When that is done, he leaps into the air, trusting Reyna and MH!Anna to take care of the Tetranadon. He changes priority to the Bishaten, launching his bitball at the monster using a blast of dark ether, hoping to strike it right in the head and finish it off in a single, well-placed strike.

Mar, seeing an opening, but still not wanting to get close to the massive gorilla from hell, flicks a switch on his rifle, loading a strange cylinder into one of three slots in a cylinder coming out of the side of the rifle, as a display on the rifle turns pale blue, the air around the rifle chilling, displaying the word Blizzard.

He fires a shot, and then another, and then one more, as bullets infused with the power of ice, or at least, the power of being extrordinarily cold to the point where it would flash freeze water around it, fly towards the rajang, with the blizzard spell going off with each shot.

Heroes!Anna glares at the Ruffian beast, then begins to glow before charging at the large Tetranodon, planning to leap at the beast once she's near. She managed to activate Astra, and so is about to try to land five attacks, all swiftly following each other up after her leap should she get close enough successfully.

3H!Anna, meanwhile, tries to help the other Anna out by shooting magic-based arrows at the Ruffian Tetranodon, attempting to catch its attention to let Heroes!Anna get some clean hits in.

-

"Crap crap crap gotta use this thing-", Jake mutters, trying to be fast enough. Unfortunately speed is not his strong suit, and as such he gets knocked off of his Ballista by the Bishaten.

"Oh no!", Natasha yells, then grabs onto her blade and attempts to go for a powerful stab in the Bishaten's tigh.

Anna gets ready to launch at the Tetranodon ramming against the gate, figuring it should be stopped before it breaks through.

Stalkers

Reyna gets blown against the wall by the Bishaten's tail. She rolls to her feet and proceeds to... dismiss her Ballista, before promptly setting it back up again to reset its health. Then she dismisses it and re-sets it again, seemingly for no reason.

MH!Anna does the same, at which point the reason becomes more clear.

Set up Hunting Installations

Mission complete!

Stronghold Level up!

Cannon

Cannon unlocked!

They can now place cannons.

And then Bishaten gets curbstomped, forcing it to flee in shame.

Repel monsters!

Two more Nargacugas come storming in, not yet attacking.

Gate Crashers

If Samsara could see the damage numbers from that Astra, she would cream a little.

Repel monsters!

The smaller Tetranadon reels about and slumps over. Wirebugs fly over, circling around its head.

"Someone get that!" Reyna barks. "You can ride it around to make it attack other monsters!"

The Ruffian Tetranadon walks straight through a Bamboo Bomb, shrugging off the explosion, then continues to tank the attacks from the Annas. Upon reaching the gate, it rears back before charging forward with rapid palm thrusts.

First Gate DESTROYED

"Mid-Line units!" barks FE!Defense. "Engage!"

Targeters

The Counter Gong and elemental matchups mean Mar's shots do enough damage to defeat the Rajang. It storms off in a defeated huff.

Repel monsters!

Stronghold Level up!

Dragonbait

Dragonbait unlocked!

Defender Cannon

Defender Cannon unlocked!

Dragonator

Dragonator unlocked!

And then two more Rajang drop in.

Amalthus watches as the Ruffian Tetranadon crashes right through the first gate, putting an obvious hole in their defenses. He isn't an outstanding strategist, not exactly a terrible one either, but regardless he definitely knows that is a very bad thing. Changing his weapon to Haze's Crosier, Amalthus attempts to push the monster back through the broken gate with a powerful gust of wind, getting close to the beast to make sure the intensity is high enough- even if it does put him in harm's way.

In fact, he very much intends to be there, caring little for any damage he may take.

k Aokiji, who was laying around in one second, instantly zip ahead the next to reach the Ruffian beast battering down the gate. He throws his fist back and coat it in Haki, though his fist is surrounded by a blue aura similar to Oden or Luffy's red aura. With a passionless take that He attempts to punch the beast in the face and uses Advanced Armament Haki to cause further damage.

Samsara jumps atop the defeated monster from earlier and attempts to ride it, inviting Oboro to get on. Samsara alone then cackles maliciously, though she catch herself mid-laugh, and begins to have it rampage against the Ruffian, meaning to assist Aokiji and Camilla since the latter fly in to try to whack it in the face with an axe. She attempts to have the beast catch the Ruffian and flip it overhead to prevent it from going any further and set it back. If Aokiji and Camilla's blows land, it'll be easier.

wow Kuzan is back on the ground, laying on the side with little concern to what's happening.

Heroes!Anna and 3H!Anna move forward a bit to prepare for the incoming Nargacugas, though they don't get too close to the now destroyed gate, not wanting to get overrun.

"Try these on for size!", 3H!Anna smirks, switching her weapons to her magic gauntlets, with which she then attempts to go for a punching rushdown, aiming for one of the Nargacugas.

If 3H!Anna's attacks land successfully, she'll suddenly be swapped with Heroes!Anna, who uses Reposition to switch their locations, and she'll then combo from her mother's attacks with a mighty swing from her Slaying Axe+.

-

"Damn, too late.", Anna says. She then looks at Jake.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine!", Jake says, getting back on his Ballista. Both he and Anna then fire Normal shots at the Rufian Tetranodon, trying to support the front line by hopefully taking out the larger beast.

Natasha now momentarily moves to the back lines instead.

-

"Guess the time for waiting is over.", Sally says, dismissing her Ballista and switching it up for a cannon, grinning.

"Now this is more my type of artillery!"

She aims it at one of the Rajang, charges up a Thunder Ammo for one stage, then opens fire. Natasha comes in and attempts to perform a Critical Hit Rapier strike against the other.

Mar sighs, as he sees the gate go down... Fuckit, gun might malfunction if he fires any more rounds right now, and the gates down, and theres two more of those... And the gate's breached. Time to retreat. Mar begins to make his way back, noticing something... a bit more familiar. Parts for canons. Its a bit old, but it'll bloody do.

"Get some canons up on the back gate, and have civilians man them. Seems these canons are somewhat specially designed, but remember to be careful with your shots. Friendly fire could get someone killed. Replace the back two balista of the middle area with canons, and move the militia balista to the front of the central fortification. Put the dragonbait behind the gate. Might give us some time if they get through. I think I have an idea." Mar rushes over to the back, helping set things up.

Gate Crashers

Well, Amalthus ends up pushing the Ruffian Tetranadon into Aokiji's strike, and down goes that one.

Repel Ruffians!

Second Gate HP: ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚

Targeters

Given that the Counter Signal was still going for that round, it should come as little surprise that the Rajang targeted by both Natasha and Douglas eats dirt.

Repel monsters!

The one hit by the Thunder Ammo is not so easily taken out, and it fires a beam of golden lightning that almost-fully covers the ground across the northern edge of the area, attacking basically everyone who was just focused on the Ruffian Tetranadon.

Reyna then fires a Crag Shot at it.

Successfully stun!

Major Threat (Stalkers)

One Nargacuga gets bazinga'd by the Annas - Repel monsters! - as the other proceeds to spin its tail like a rattlesnake before... getting hit in the face by a Crag Shot courtesy of MH!Anna.

Successfully stun!

   Almudron has appeared!   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mhrise_almudron_render_001.png

Holy shit, that one is GIGANTIC. It's almost bigger than any of the current platforms, and pretty much all of the Village Defender-operated Ballistae and Cannons immediately turn their attention to attacking it.

"The major threat!" yells Reyna.

In a single sweep of its tail, it sends mud crashing all over the battlefield from the front to the second gate, attacking everyone at once. Like with the Bishaten's previous tail attack, anyone currently manning a Hunting Installation will be thrown away from it if they don't block to brace themselves.

Amalthus changes his weapon to a shield hammer, blocking the mud from striking him by expanding the weapon's shield-like head to a greater size. He switches again, taking ahold of a chroma katana and focusing down the    Almudron   

Focusing ice ether into the sharp edge of the weapon, Amalthus draws the katana and swings it seven times, each cut sending waves of freezing ice ether at the titanic monster, each liable to cut into and then freeze within their target if they happen to strike true. He follows up by dashing at and rapidly past the monster, striking with his weapon along the way to hopefully deliver a single, extremely powerful cut.

He's... surprisingly fast, even for someone so tall. There's more strength in him than his appearance would suggest.

"The front is safe for a moment. Check up on the rear.", Heroes!Anna says to 3H!Anna, who nods and runs off... until Almudron appears and mud-waves her. Heroes!Anna manages to, as if by a miracle, evade the attack with a well-timed leap, then starts running towards the backlines, attempting to attack with a cleaving axe smash from behind, aiming for the beast's tail. She'd rather not have another mud wave attack, thank you very much.

-

Anna and Jake both get struck by the beam of golden lightning, both forced out of their Ballistas as a result.

Jake groans as he gets up and quickly starts chugging a Concoction. Anna, meanwhile, gets back up swiftly and, instead of getting back on her Ballista, she brings out a Sleep Staff and attempts to use its magic to put the Rajang to sleep to make it an easy target.

She does this before realizing that the biggest threat on the field isn't the one in front of her though, and regardless of how effective Sleep will end up being, she and Jake will get caught by the mud wave.

-

"Oh gods!", Natasha yelps when Almudron appears.

"Crap, this thing's gotta reload!", Sally says, choosing to just dismiss the cannon instead in favor of a Ballista.

Before either she or Natasha can do anything though, they both get struck by the mud wave.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

Mar, seeing the big hulking monstrosities coming in, moves the fuck away from the incoming attacks in a massive effort to take cover... mud still gets all over his rifle, which renders it unreliable to use, as it will likely jam if not cleaned off. And there's more monsters than one can normally handle. Not to mention, mud boy's going to screw up the defense's day.

Mar, deciding to act, pulls out an Anti tank grenade, moving into range to lob it at the almudron, yelling "A-T NADE OUT!" As he pulls the pin and lobs it.
