Another story taking place in the Monster Hunter universe, and one I thought could fit with the Christmas spirit.

The Winter Star Festival was in full swing, with decorations up all throughout Astera. Wreaths decorated doors to private quarters, hunters ready for the cold wore their winter gear, and palicoes ran to and fro with the special meals prepared to have all the hunters ready for any frost, fright, or fun that could be had throughout the New World.

The Sapphire Star watched over all of it, leaning on the balcony of the Gathering Hub beneath the glittering crystals and the shining lights. He enjoyed all of the festivals, and while this one might not have been his favorite, he wanted to always keep the festive atmosphere alive. The whole of the port was buzzing with excitement, even as new reports readily came in.

Including one urgent one, directed especially to him. He watched the Handler, bundled up in her red snow gear, riding the hook lift to the Hub, already shouting even though she couldn't be heard over the waterfall. He rolled his eyes and adjusted his glasses, sighing to himself and looking over to his personal palico companion, Mystery. "You ready for a festive hunt?"

The multicolored cat was decked head to toe in the cute, stylish, and flowing fur and leather vest and skirt combo of the Kirin gear dyed pink, the horn on her head proudly showing off her master's skill, as though the matching gear he wore didn't do that well enough already. She nodded, smiling happily up at her ward. "Of course, meowster! I have everything ready, no matter where we go. The Vigorwasps were getting antsy anyway."

Star smiled, then waited for the Handler to finally get close enough to deliver her message, though the look on her face showed it was important. Still, he didn't want to dampen the mood. "What, were you worried they were going to run out of special plates? Because the Meowscular Chef is very diligent about that."

She shook her head, holding up her mission log and pointing to the information and drawings on a page near the end. She'd filled a lot of these books in their time together, and it was about time to close this one too, but it was one he'd never seen here: a Kirin with stark black fur and lavender stripes and tips to its mane. And the pink horn, while a drawing, looked quite more imposing, as did the flaring red eyes. Immediately he could see something different, though he knew she'd fill him in in a moment.

"An Oroshi Kirin has made its way to the New World. It was spotted in the Coral Highlands." She flipped through a few pages of notes taken from the other hunters. "It's a variant of a Kirin that gathers ice around itself to strike. It was thought that they never migrated from their native lands, but apparently they too take place in the Elder Dragon Migration. This one seems to be scaring away the local animals in the Highlands and threatening the balance." She looked at the picture, shaking her head. "To think one swam across a whole ocean... But then, so did the other Kirin not native to this continent, and you've taken care of quite a number of them too." She tapped Star's jacket, the energy and static electricity radiating off of it and almost zapping her back. "So while I expect a lot of notes and you to bring back as much information as you can... You can handle this one on your own, right?"

Star peaked an eyebrow looking at her. "Normally you'd be wanting to get as close as possible during the fight. What's different this time?"

The Handler nudged a toe into the ground. "Well... I do actually want to have the special plate, and the Chef promised me he'd let me learn the recipe today, and I don't want to miss my chance."

Star rolled his eyes, but nodded. "I'll do my best. But it's an Elder, so you know I can't bring it back. I'll see what I can do to get information though, and if there's more... well, we know how to take care of that." He motioned for Mystery to go to his room for his gear as he whistled for his ride, hopping on the Wingdrake and heading to the Highlands.

The Coral Highlands were by far the Star's favorite part of the New World that had been explored to date. From the strange and wonderful plateaus of coral to the floating jellyfish and seaweed-like vines, the whole place had a surreal atmosphere that strummed across his heartstrings. To think ANOTHER creature was trying to cause trouble here really put him on edge, souring his festive mood. He was frustrated that it wasn't even a new element, another ICE monster of all things... He'd take care of it soon enough.

He landed at the campsite, followed moments later by Mystery with all of his gear in paw... or rather, what she already knew he'd want. Even though it probably wouldn't be the most useful, since it likely wasn't immune to thunder, the proper show of force was to meet the Kirin with Kirin. From the unicorn horn crackling with thunder and the mohawk mane to the Kirin leather jacket and pants to the flowing silver furred tail belt that held his pouches and tools he was decked in silver-blue scales and fur. But the pièce de résistance was his weapon, a glaive topped on one end with the Kirin fur to house the fungus that summoned his kinsect, and on the other end of the smoothly worked dragon bone shaft, was spiked with three curved Kirin horns to make a wicked trident that crackled with thundering energy. It was his prized weapon, even after fighting larger monsters, customized and perfectly attuned to the Star's personal fighting style.

With that and his specially bred Pseudocath Kinsect on his other arm the Star exited the cave and headed up towards the top of the mountain. While it was a popular spot for all sorts of monsters, he knew from the storm clouds threatening to blizzard around it that the Oroshi would be there, awaiting a challenge like so many Kirin. And he'd be able to meet it head on, using the power of all the monsters whose bioenergy flowed through him.

The climb was long and arduous, but as the Sapphire Star and Mystery both crested the hill, the hoarfrost clinging to the ground and mists swirling through the air confirmed his thoughts. "Always at the top of the mountain," he said with a chuckle. "They know how to pick a battleground." He followed the well-tread path to the final plateau, where his opponent was waiting for him.

Not just waiting in the physically being there sense, but seemingly actually waiting for him, his red eyes locked on the incoming blue horn before following it down to see the hunter standing before it. While ice clung to his fur, he stood proud with his head held high, seemingly undaunted by the challenger. It was then that his mighty neigh rolled forth, like the cold front of a blizzard. "What, another challenger? I have traveled far for a worthy foe, I pray you will be it."

The Star's eyebrow peaked again, a smile spreading across his face as he spoke back in fluent Kirin. "I didn't think you'd share a tongue. So, I hear you've been causing trouble. Would you like to explain?" The Star had a bit of an obsession with Kirin, one many hunters had to some extent. He'd been happy to help Moon through the overwhelming force of it, but the sheer amount of Kirin bioenergy he'd taken into himself had the Star now had a few features of the Kirin for himself, not the least of which was understanding their tongue. Being an Elder Dragon had its perks, including increased intelligence enough for proper conversations to be had.

The Oroshi snorted in surprise, looking at him sidelong. "If you must know, human, I traveled far and demand a mate. But none are strong enough for me. From the showing of the males of this land, I'm surprised they have survived at all." He then lowered his horn into a charging pose. "Perhaps you can prove me wrong."

With the Handler not there, the Star grinned, preparing his own show of energy. Not the transformation and wildness of Moon, but the armor on him did seem to meld with his skin, silver and blue scales growing along his body, his hair lengthening into the proud and wild mane, with lighting crackling on his hands, the fingertips hardened to hooves. It mostly wasn't used in the company of others for one reason, though, as the pants melded in, the rush of energy causing his long, flat-headed and ridged horse-like cock to slide free of the heavy new sheath sitting between his legs. The tall, muscular anthropomorphic lightning unicorn that, just a few moments ago had been the unassuming form of the Star lowered his glaive, lightning crackling from his eyes. "I aim to please, and will show you why you don't mess with the New World."

The two charged at each other, the Oroshi wrapping itself in an armor of ice while icicle spears launched forward towards the Star. Two hooves pounded the ground, running towards the owner with four, before the Star planted his glaive in the top of the plateau, vaulting into the air and over the icicles before crashing down like a lightning bolt, swinging his glaive against the Oroshi to cover it in the luring food for his kinsect. The bug took wing, explosive powder fluttering behind it as it charged for the beast.

The Oroshi leaped over the bug, a move that surprised the Star, before snow fell before it in a huge flurry, forming a slope down which the dragon horse charged, a tempest of wind and snow around it. The Star ducked around it, swinging his pike in a wide arc that juuuuust tapped the Kirin's horn, threatening the pink spiral, but pulled away at the last second to leave a cut across the elder dragon's face. The Oroshi, seeming to skate along the frost at its hooves, seemed impressed and excited, his horn no longer the only spire standing at attention as his own shaft drooped under him, matching the Star's horse cock with dragon ridges measure for measure. "Yes! This is it! The adrenaline, the rush... This is what I want. Do not fail me!"

The fight was long and arduous, both sides putting their everything into it. The Oroshi charged, threw icicles, called in blizzards and generated cold snaps that threatened to chill to the bone, while the lightning-wreathed form of the Star danced and spun through the sky and across the ground, his movements lithe, his muscles rippling, using the shaft of the glaive like a catapult at times and a pole to dance around at others, his motions elegant, effortless, and gracefully choreographed. Sweat clung to both of them from the exertion, despite the cold in the air, both of their breaths visible as they panted and steamed.

During one swift charge across the ice that now had frozen the whole plateau the Star saw his chance. He vaulted into the air, landing on the back of the beast, his glaive in hand and his cock throbbing hard from the adrenaline as he swung at the monster, leaving gashes down both his sides, then again tapping against the horn, a clear threat that he would be going for it next. However, as he went to deliver the power blow, the Oroshi skidded to a stop. "I yield. Hunter, you have bested me. Take your prize." There was a tone of eagerness, of need beneath the panting and pain from the cold Kirin that caught the Star off guard. He hopped from the back of the horse, about to say something, when he saw the Oroshi lowering its front side, raising up its tail and showing its swinging balls, throbbing shaft, and pucker off, its hind almost waving behind it eagerly.

Star tilted his head, his mane sticking out straight as he chuckled. "Well, I got a lot of information from this battle... If you promise to find your own place, I was going to just let you go, really."

The horse turned, looking indignant, but also almost scared, a slight whine in his voice. "No! That is not how this works, you are the victor! You have dominated me, shown me how weak I am, and now you must claim me, prove your dominance fully, or I will simply take it as a sign of weakness and wreak more havoc on the land!" He whinnied angrily, ice and snow flowing wildly around his mane, while a desperation seemed to enter his voice. "You hunted me. I am yours! There is no other way!"

The Star looked confused for a moment, then looked at the cock throbbing and needy under the horse, before it clicked. "You know, you could always just ask around. I'm sure other Kirin are gay. This doesn't have to be a dominance thing."

The Oroshi seemed horrified at the very thought. "That's- I'm not... I like mares! I have been looking for one by fighting off all of the males, proving my strength with their tail between their legs as they fled. I will prove myself the alpha and fill a mare... with... my seed," he said very unconvincingly, before his voice seemed to change, his hind wiggling back and forth again. "But then I was defeated by you, a true alpha, a strong hunter beyond any other... Even if I wanted to leave, if I know you're out there, stronger than me, able to do whatever you want to me... I'd have to submit to you on principle!" It let out a small whinny of pleasure, then shook its head, turning around once more and presenting its ass. "Prove it to me, hunter! Show me I'm nothing more than your mare, a plaything for your wildest fantasies and frustrations."

The Star went to say something, but then growled. Frustration was definitely building, and it HAD been a fight that got his heart pumping, but... He looked down at his cock, throbbing and dripping with sweat, then at ponut pucker presented before him, eager and waiting, the only hole big enough for his current energized form... He walked over, grabbing the dark purple tail of the Oroshi and pulling on it, getting a pained but oh so pleasured whimper, before he looked it in the eye. "When I'm done with you, you're going to listen to me, got it?"

The Oroshi seemed to try to pull away weakly, more giving room for his tail to be pulled again as it whinnied very lustily. "Make me." The glaive slammed into the ice right next to his head, making the dark Kirin shudder, while he felt a warmth pressing up against his pucker, then ridges teasing along it, making him moan and whinny with excitement.

The Star brought his hips back down, happy his anthro form had the height to make this happen as he grabbed the glaive's handle for support. "You better believe I will. If you want to be the conduit for my frustrations, prepare for a holiday's worth of pent up." He then thrust in not hard, not fast, and not forcefully, but with a steady pressure, slowly opening up the Oroshi's supple, ample ass even though he was going in dry. However, for going dry, he felt a surprising amount of liquid inside the passage. For a second he was worried it was blood, but with how cold it was, it quickly became clear that it was making ice inside itself, melting it with its own heat, and letting that be the lube needed to get the balls touching. An interesting observation, but he had no clue how he was going to tell the Handler how he knew it.

If there had been any question about the consent of this whole thing, the way the Oroshi threw its head back and whinnied loudly, followed by a repeating "Yes! Yes yes yes yesyesyesyesyesyeeeeeees!" increasingly dripping with lust showed Star just how bad this guy had needed it. Apparently he'd swam an ocean to be dominated by a stronger opponent... And who was the Sapphire Star to judge?

As finally his hips met the dragon horse's pucker, Star reached forward with his hand, taking firm grip of the cold fur of the Oroshi's mane before he thrust back, the ridges of his cock teasing the inches of sensitive flesh and making the Kirin moan and shudder, his own length under him, throbbing so hard it bounced up and slapped against his stomach. With just the flat, broad tip of Star's horse-like cock in the Oroshi's ass, he pulled on the mane, pressing forward quickly to let each ridge pop in in quick succession.

The blizzard around the mountain raged as the Oroshi was claimed, its voice shaky as it pressed back against the thrusting hips of the Star. "Ahn! Yes! Look at how you dominate me! My cock throbbing uselessly, not siring any hatchlings today. I'm nothing but a toy, a sleeve for you to use. Fuck, you're going to tear me in half, making me never forget how humiliated I am in this moment!" He was getting himself worked up, his eyes crossing and his mouth almost frothing as he ran the situation in his head.

The Star wasn't nearly as demeaning as that, and didn't have enough mean bones in his body to even fake it. Even if he preferred to top, he really wasn't a dom. But he was still frustrated, and the moans of the Kirin under him were music to his ears. He growled dominantly, grabbing the Oroshi's horn and fighting the biting cold in his hand as he pressed it down, jackhammering down into the horse's raised ass.

The Oroshi shuddered, a large shot of pre hitting the ice and starting to melt it under him as he groaned. "Oh, yes, take me! I'm nothing but a hole for you to dump your alpha cum in! Even my horn is just a handle. Rub my face in my useless ice. Make me know how weak I am."

Star was silent, focusing entirely on reaming this Oroshi's plump ass, feeling it clenching, almost sucking him in. Any water lube had been replaced with pre at this point, the anthro form of the Star having been quite pent up for a long time. It was teeming with bioenergy, all of which wanted to breed, seemingly not knowing the seed would be falling uselessly in the beast's ass rather than a mare's belly. Still, those moaned and lust-filled words of the Oroshi were getting to some part of his brain as he slammed down harder with every suggestion, practically grinding the Oroshi's face in the ice as he instinctively began to claim and dominate this male.

The Oroshi's larger body trembled with excitement, cum leaking in one long strand to pool under him in the water of the melted frost, his tongue lolling out in ecstasy. It almost looked like he was going to break his own tail with how high it was being hiked, his plush ponut pulling and pulsing, plumper than any pussy and putting the Star into a true rut. The heat, the friction, the needy moans, all of them were pushing together, the ridges starting to fill out from the bottom out on both of their cocks, designed to stimulate the mare and lock them in place.

While the Oroshi's ass wasn't made to be locked into, the ridges were doing wonders each time they slid across his sensitive pucker or slammed deep into his body. He was a groaning wreck, feeling his cock starting to flare. "Here it is! Proof of my ultimate- Ahn, fuck- submission as yoooOOOOooooouuuu drive my body to orgasm against its will. Even my spirit -KEEP GOING! FUCK ME HARDER- being broken by a mere hunter!" His ass clenched hard, his balls pulling up and his flare building in size, before he whinnied loudly, another freezing wing rolling from his body, though it soon turned into the melting moan of a horse getting exactly the relief it needed.

The Star couldn't hold back after that, thunder crackling through his body and jolting right against the Oroshi's prostate before he slammed home, his flare as deep as it could be as sparking, tingling ropes of cum rushed into the Oroshi's ass. Meanwhile, a veritable puddle was forming underneath the two rutting kirin, the shock from the anthro putting the feral into overdrive as hot cum splashed and sprayed across the ground, melting ice and painting the Kirin's dark belly pure white.

The Star moaned and held tight to the Elder Dragon beneath him, not the first he had proven himself stronger than, but definitely the first he had dominated in such a way. He moaned, feeling the ass clamping tight against his cock, milking every inch of it, and he slowly let go of the Oroshi's horn, caressing its mane gently. It panted and shuddered, occasional shocks from Star and waves of pleasure rippling through his dark, muscular body. Star held the position until it seemed that Oroshi would be able to handle it and until his cock quit being quite so sensitive, then he slowly pulled free, each ridge and his flare popping free and making the Kirin whinny in pleasure.

As the flare popped free, the ass gaping from the sheer force of the fucking, there was another whinny, then a flurry of cold. Before Star's eyes he saw ice crystalizing in the ass, plugging it open and holding in the warm, electric cum deep inside the Oroshi. "Mmmm~ Left gaping and whimpering, nothing more than a cum dump for such a powerful foe..."

Star shook his head, the fur and scales wicking away from his body until his thinner, toned human form was once more reached. He then gently patted the still-raised ass of the Kirin. "So, you know, it's really okay to be gay. If you try to prove your strength... well, Nergigante is a dangerous foe, he'll rip you to shreds. Though, if you'd be willing, as your dominator I could bring you back to the camp. The researchers would-"

The Oroshi snorted angrily, standing up on shaky legs, the pool of his cum having clung to his mane and freezing there, painting the purple fur white. "What?! I-I'm not gay! I was defeated in combat, made to submit to a powerful foe... A human even, so weak, but so dominant..." His voice was dripping with lust again, his cock starting to slide free, before he shook his head. "But even so, I won't submit myself to the poking and prodding of researchers for just ONE defeat... It would be so..." His ass wiggled, his tail flagging, his pucker gripping the ice plug holding it open. "... humiliating... But unless they could prove their worth like you, I am too wild and powerful for them."

He turned towards the edge of the cliff, looking back at Star with lust, needy eyes. "I will see you around, strong one. If I go too far, I'm sure you'll put me in my place... Right?"

Star sighed, but nodded. "Sure, I'll make sure of it. But next time, you're listening to the Sapphire Star, got it?"

The Oroshi's tail flagged again, showing the ice in his ass. "Mmmm, yes master. Whatever you command." He then leaped over the edge, his powerful legs more than able to take the fall, as both of them knew.

This just left Star standing at the top of the mountain shaking his head. Mystery walked up behind him, confusion on her face. "Meowster, it's not like you to let it go like that. Are you alright?"

Star shrugged, whistling for the Wingdrake. "I'm alright, I just hope he will be. But make sure to tell the Handler I'm the only one to take Oroshi cases for the time being, okay?" The palico saluted right as the Wingdrake arrived, and Star hooked himself on, traveling back to Astera. As he passed through the remnants of the blizzard, he had a lot of confusing, conflicting thoughts going through his head... but chief among them was that maybe he'd been too harsh on the Winter Star Festival. It was going to hold a special place in his heart after this.
