Any Sport in a Storm
In order to prove his worth to the Abomination Coven head Darius, Hunter looks for more Emperor's Coven recruits at Hexside. Gus,meanwhile, was with Willow recruiting for people to join her Flyer Derby team. Hunter accidentally bumps into Viney's pet griffin, Puddles, causing him to evade him by flying on his staff. Gus and Willow witness it and both get impressed by Hunter's flying skills, so Willow pulls him down with vines. Willow and Gus look at him, but later Willow asks him if he wants to join her Flyer Derby team, and introduces herself and Gus. Gus got a little suspicious of him since it's the first time they see him, so he asks for his name and where does he came from. Hunter introduces himself as Caleb and makes up a fake backstory, before saying he has his own mission to do, so Willow give a pamphlet. After seeing the pamphlet saying "best and brightest," Hunter immediately turns around, so he could get in the team.

Hunter displays his flying skills as a way to attract more members to their team. Gus was still getting some bad vibes from him, but still admitted he had great flying skills. When Willow introduces Hunter to the rest of the team, he is put off by their seeming laziness or lack of skill, and walks away, only to be stopped and asked to give them a chance. Later he turns back to his team and they start the game.

After winning the game, the professor asks for their team name to register them as a club. Hunter suggest the "Emerald Entrails" because they're wearing green and there's more to them than people think. Gus alongside the other members enthusiastically agree, and everyone take a selfie.

Hunter then reveals his identity as the Golden Guard. Multiple coven members appear to collect the recruits, and they end up in a jail cell for punching one of the guards. Hunter is unable to understand why the team members don't want to be part of the Emperor's Coven and why they feel betrayed. Right then, they are taken by Darius. Hunter has a conversation with Steve where he reminds him of the grueling training they had to go through as new recruits to the coven, plus having to give up their palismen. Hunter starts to regret forcing them into this and chases after Darius's ship on his staff.

Hunter's appearance on the ship surprises Darius, giving the team an opportunity to crash the ship and escape. Darius angrily approaches the members with a scythe hand. Right as he attacks them, Hunter steps in front of them to shield them. He says that they are insolent agitators who are unfit to be part of the Emperor's Coven, and also removes cloak saying that he's not fit for the role of Golden Guard either. He turns around, pleading them to leave. Gus was sadly leaving as Willoow tells the team that they should go and that they need find a replacement.

At the end of the episode, Gus and the other team members are looking at Willow's scroll, seeing that Hunter made a new Penstagram account since Darius gave him a scroll in the previous scene. Gus and Willow laugh at his slow typing.

Labyrinth Runners
When Gus sees Flapjack getting out of the trash can, he states that he remembers him, only to chase him and find himself with Hunter again. Gus angrily asks him what is he doing at the school, calling him "Golden Guard". Hunter tries to look himself evil, but as he walks closer to Gus, a mess behind him is made, revealing Gus that Hunter is living in Hexside, much to Gus confussion. Hunter blushes as he tries to cover all his stuff, but Gus asks him again what is he doing at Hexside, in a friendlier way, calling him this time by his name. Hunter angrily explains him he's "temporarily" living there due to some problems he had, as he says that the only place he could think was Hexside.

When Adrian tried to take Gus's abilities, he opens a massive illusion, so Hunter grabs him and takes him out of danger. Later Hunter and Gus get to his room, only to Hunter gets a crisis for everything he has gone through as he sits down in sadness, so Gus sits with him tells him a trick to count and breath deeply, so Hunter tries it and helps him to cold down. Hunter kindly asks him if he escaped from the Emperor's Coven, so Hunter sadly nods. Gus asks why, Hunter was about to answer it but he angrilly crossed his arms, so Gus tells him a little bit about him, and he promises Hunter he won't mess with him, to later tell him to keep moving, as Hunter follows him.

When Hunter passes out and wakes up with the other Hexside students, he thinks it's an illusion and tries to escape, shouting Gus's name trying to know if he's okay. Everyone though he was lying until he mentioned some "breathing trick", making Willow recognized he was telling the truth and support him.

After Hunter went to get Gus back, he finally gets to sit with him in his room, like when Hunter had his crisis in Gus's room. Hunter sees him blaming himself for not being good enough and he's blaming himself for everything. Hunter tries to calm him down using the same trick Gus told Hunter a while ago. Finally Gus smiles again and ends up the massive illusion.

Fanon
Guster is somewhat of a rarepair, being overshadowed by ships such as Goldric and Huntlow. It gained more shippers after the episode "Labyrinth Runners." Some people don't like the ship due to the age gap of the two. Despite that, some people still think it's a cute pairing. So far, there isn't much fan content.
