The Hunters Page #5

---

Mason's a hunter.

What?

Reperio qua adservum nunquam utor

'Find and Protect. Never Use'.

The hunter's oath.

Mason what's she talking about?

She's wrong.

I'm not a hunter.

Not anymore.

You were the Krugen.

I am the Krugen.

Disable the alarm now.

Pax?

Do it Tripp he's not bluffing.

Pretty and smart.

This one's a keeper, Paxton

Alright. It's off.

The alarm, it's disabled.

See?

Properly motivated.

We can achieve anything.

Boys, you and Dylan, join me.

All due respect to mom and dad,

but you three are the real deal.

Where are my mom and dad?

I regret to inform you that

your father is missing.

Likely, forever.

What?

Let's find the mirror, together.

Then afterwards, I will make sure that you

will have what you most dearly desired.

Dylan, you'll have family.

Tripp, respect.

Paxton, you will finally

be able to sail off

alone leaving every earthly

burden behind you.

You will finally be at peace.

We will never join you, right Pax?

Right.

Oh well. In that case...

You little...

Catch!

Here!

Pax!

Do not test my aim.

Pax, here!

Go!

To me!

Here!

I just realized I don't need

all three of you alive.

You want it?

Catch it.

Gotcha!

Tripp, run!

They're getting away.

Go!

When did Cinderella

lost her slipper?

Come on, come on!

Mom!

Get in! Come on!

Nice timing.

Mom, we thought you were...

Why aren't you in school?

Seriously? We're going to do this now?

I'm just glad you're okay baby.

Pax. Dylan.

So you're back together.

Hmm? What? Uh. No. No. Nope.

Mom. What about dad?

Mason said that...

I don't know Pax.

But it's your father, and

he's a survivor, so.

Mason has the shards. All of them.

But he doesn't have the mirror.

And he doesn't know where it is.

Guess what?

I do.

Mr. Fuller, sir. We are so

lucky you're not hurt.

Shame about the slipper.

We must find those thieves.

We will.

If I don't find them, the authorities will.

We don't need them.

We have the shards, but we don't

know where the mirror is.

You don't, but I do.

I forgot how much you

love your little secrets.

Who gave this to you?

I never even seen that before.

Is that what the Krugen are after?

What is it, stone?

It's the key to the Wolf's tomb.

Tomb?

That sounds promising.

We're going to Germany kids.

Mrs. Flynn after what

happened at the museum

the police are gonna be

checking every plane for us.

Not this plane, Dylan.

We're out of U.S. Airspace.

This plane will get you

where you need to go.

Thanks, Skoon.

Wait, Skoon? As in the

Skooner family of Hunters?

Round here, I'm just a regular

army captain working cargo.

Your family is legendary for

their backup and support.

They never leave a man behind.

Oh, it's all about being a good wingman.

Besides, Carter and Jordyn have saved

my hide more than a few times.

My pleasure.

Follow me.

Hey!

You've been a little quiet

since we all got back together.

Doing alright?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Just uh...

Do you think Dad's alright?

Your dad is one of the toughest people I have

ever met and I have to believe he's okay.

Look. I want you to know we were

gonna come for you and dad.

As soon as we had the shards.

Pax, you did exactly the right thing.

Recovering those shards are so much

more important than anyone of us.

Why didn't you tell us about the hunters?

Do you ever recall your father

and I fighting 'bout anything?

No.

Right.

Because we never did.

Except for one thing.

Whether to tell you and Tripp

that you were both hunters.

He wanted to tell you

but I would'nt let him.

Becoming hunters was something

that was decided for

your father and me long

before we were even born.

But being the hunter also means

that sometimes you are the hunted

And I wanted something

more for you and Tripp.

I wanted something your

Dad and I never had

which was our

childhood, the peace.

Yeah.

But what you got was a whole part of

your life that didn't include us.

I, I just, I can't believe that you

told Dylan everything and not me.

But Pax you have to understand.

Both Dylan's parents were hunters and

they both died when she was so young.

She didn't have any family.

So the hunters took her in.

We've just tried to give her a way

out of her loneliness, you know?

Just because we had parents, doesn't

mean we weren't lonely for them.

Yeah, I know that now.

Pax. Thank you for

not coming for us.

Anytime.

Come on.

Wait, here are my favorite parts.

You're right.

You're right it's the Wolf's tooth.

It's oddly appropriate

that the mirror has been

hidden all this time practically

on my own backyard.

Just promise me that

when it's time,

you'll let me deal with

Joydyn Flynn in my own way.

Of course. I'm gonna

watch this again.

Great! Graveyards.

Your afraid of ghosts?

No. Guess you are,

remember that holloween?

Oh. You'd be quiet alright

or I'll tell a story

about a certain someone

who slept with a night

light when he's 17.

Okay, okay.

No! No, no no.

In wanna hear this.

Nope.

Nope. Moving on.

So funny mom.

I'll tell you later Dylan.

The Wolf's tomb wouldn't happen to have a

carving of a Wolf's head on it, would it?

It's made of solid granite.

The tooth is missing.

The Wolf's tooth.

It's a three-button sequence.

That's, a thousand possible combinations.

Another puzzle.

But if we hit the buttons in the wrong

order, the whole thing could collapse.

Or explode!

Or turn into a large spikey thing

near you, we know the drill.

It's the Wolf. It's the Wolf

of Little Red Riding Hood.

Meaning what?

My what big eyes you have.

My what big ears you have.

My what big teeth you have.

Always loved that story.

We did it.

You certainly did.

Nice trick.

Pretending to deactivate the alarm.

I don't know If I should shake your

hand or send you to your room.

Well, neither sounds appealing.

Hm. I love this kid.

Mason, do not make this

mirror whole again.

Why not? I would be bad?

Bu-hoo. Scary.

Jordyn, the world is divided

into two types of people.

Those, who are slaves to ancient traditions

and tired superstitions, and me.

Long before we were hunters my family

descended from the Gorgos of Greece.

As to the Krugen. The ancient

Gorgos ruled over man for millenia.

That! Is my true birth right.

Gorgos?

People need leadership.

They don't need some ancient order of

warrior scientists protecting them

from things that go bump in the night.

The world needs me! Not the hunters.

You'll have to go through

us to get to the mirror.

I would've been so disappointed

had you not said that.

Gentlemen.

Wait!

Did you mean what you

said at the museum?

If I help you get the mirror,

you'd give me everything I want.

Pax!

Yes, Pax.

You can finally set out on your journey.

Free of your family.

Pax! You don't know

what you're doing.

I do, Mom.

Maybe for the first time.

Sh*t. It's rigged.

The tomb is sealing we are

running out of time.

Here take it.

Finally.

Okay.

We gotta get out of here.

We are but you're staying.
