Lets start off by saying I DON'T I repeat DON'T own monster hunter. It is all owned by Capcom. I only own my own characters.

And in the future I will make the fight scenes longer and more complex I just needed to introduce the main characters and I had three characters to do so I shortened them and made then one-sided towards the hunters.


Chapter 1

Gilbert

The bright sun shot through the clouds into the arena like a rathalos from the heavens. It illuminated the large silver scaled shield held on his left arm. Gilbert – or Gil as his friends called him – crouched low behind a boulder covering his body as much as he could. Gil was a 16 year old hunting prodigy. He was tall for his age at 6feet 2 inches and weighed about 130 pounds. He wasn't very heavy but very strong which seemed to contradict his build. He wore his hair long running down his back to his shoulder blades with two strands that draped over either shoulder. His hair was white with a slight blue tint to it. He wore a ser of Brasarios U armour which was heavy for most but he still moved quickly in it. In his hand he held a sleek silver gun lance called the gun chariot which was made from the silver rathalos. He slowly opened his Gun Chariot and loaded it with three shells then locked it in place and waited for the beast to come into position.

The large pink bird like beast stood about 8 feet tall with a large yellow beak and blood red eyes. It had two large webbed wings which were usually very powerful and used for flying, however the right wing was missing completely and the stub was burned black. It had a long thin tail with a sharp barb at the end which could be deadly if one didn't watch himself. The yian-kutku walked nervously looking for the armour clad attacker who somehow had the power of a wyvern packed into his weapon. Suddenly its feet gave way underneath its self and if found itself neck deep in a pitfall trap.

Upon hearing the blood curdling screech of the yian-kutku Gil ran full tilt from behind his hiding place and stabbed at the creatures skull a couple times only for it to bounce off its hard beak. He then drove his gun lance down the creature's throat and fired off three shells ripping apart his prey's vital organs. He then pulled the weapon back violently and drove it down through the creature's eye and into its skull to ensure a quicker death-no one deserved to suffer. He waited for a few seconds to let the adrenalin die down. He slowly began to look around at the awe struck students of the training arena. Slowly he heard a clapping sound from behind him.

"Very good Gilbert I see I taught you well." Came a low and overly confident voice.

Gil laughed to himself taught me? You just told me how to fire off shells from my lance all my training was from in field experience. But"yes, thank you very much rath" was all he said not wanting to sound overly cocky.

Rath was a small unappealing man who taught all the new hunters the basics. Gil always thought it was because it was all rath new. He wore a set of blue guild armour which he was awarded for repelling a Giadrom and saving a young boy from death. Which hardly seemed the valiant feat Rath claimed it was. On his back he wore a light bowgun called the grenade launcher. It was made from the shells of different rock based wyverns like the Brasarios and the Gravios-which one Gil wasn't sure. Rath liked to stay out of harms way and take credit for the kills which angered most hunters who were unfortunate enough to have to hunt with him. His pitch black hair was worn in a clean cut part down the center of his head which he thought looked smart but on him it just looked like a target for a great sword. Rath officially changed his name to resemble that of a rathalos because he always claimed it was the king of the sky and Rath believed his place was in one of royalty.

"I see you are still using your fathers weapon Gil" said Rath in an unapproving tone.

"Yes the gun chariot has served me well." Said Gil hoping he wasn't going to here of Raths opinion of his father.

"Every hunter should use his own weapon not one gifted to him by his father. Especially not a father that was taken by the guild and sent go knows where." Rath smiled as he said this but quickly covered it up.

"Well I remember my father fondly and will carry this weapon proudly in memory of his hunting days."

Rath never liked Gil's father for the single reason that his father never felt the need to fallow the rules of the guild which of course Rath took personally. No one really liked the guild anymore but it was the fastest way for a hunter to make a legal living. also if you went against the guild you often disappeared.

"Well then as you wish boy but may I remind you your father's ways did not serve him well. I would trust you have better judgment. You may go know Gil the other hunters' still must demonstrate there skills to the Younge hunters"

Gil was called here to demonstrate the power of a gunlance to the students-essentially like a career day for the Younge hunters at the training arena. There were multiple hunters-considered the elite hunters of Pokke- chosen from the village to demonstrate there weapon of choice. Gil was tired so he headed home for some rest. Not knowing that it would be the last rest in his own bed he ever had.

Saun

Stepping into the arena was a tall teen-only 17-clad in a set of Nargacuga armour. On his back was a light bowgun called the sand fall. He had many other guns in his arsenal but this seemed the most appropriate choice considering the sandy conditions of the arena. Hi had long black spiked hair which reached his neck. It had a small braid at the side which was covered in a colourful cloth; however his hair was not visible under his helm. Saun stood at 5 feet 10 inches and always wore a smile. It was a common assumption among hunters and villagers alike that he was stark raving mad because of his combat style. Using his bowgun up close instead of taking advantage of its range. However he saved many of them from death many times before so they didn't complain-or send him to an asylum. He loaded the sand fall with two pellet shots lvl 1 and waited for his prey to be released.

Unknown to Saun was that Rath hated him with a burning passion hotter than pissing hot sauce. So Rath took this chance to take out his bowgunning rival and make it look like an accident. He released three kutkus form there cages and let them fly in from above.

Hmmm where is that cotton candy with wings. Saun slowly began to suspect something was wrong when he saw a shadow appear from above his head, then two, then three. He looked up to see three yian kutkus circling over head. That's odd there was only supposed to be one and it should have come through the gate. Just then the three bird wyverns dove from the sky each from a different angle coming at him from all sides.

Suddenly a huge grin crossed Saun's face as he put away his bowgun and pulled out a piece of one two inch braded rope. He quickly wrapped one part around his right hand then turned to face one kutku. As it swooped over top of him trying to kick him Saun threw one end of the rope over the pink birds head and grabbed it on the other side with his left hand. He then swung himself up onto the back of the kutku and pulled back on his makeshift reigns. He quickly jerked the monster to the ground and pulled the rope tightly holding the monster in submission. The other kutkus were confused and circled over head watching as there friend was wrestled to the ground by the hunter.

As he pulled on the rope the monster slowly began to admit defeat and Saun let him stand though still on his back. He then pulled back on the rope and the monster took flight.

"THIS IS HOW YOU HUNT YA LITTLE BUGGERS!" yelled Saun from his monster mount laughing like a mad man as Rath fumed at the hunters resourcefulness, no it was foolishness no one in the right mind would ride a wyvern.

He began to circle the arena before aiming the kutku at the other two circling. As he did so he drew his sand fall from his back and removed the reigns from the monsters neck. He then placed the bowgun to his mounts head and fired a pellet shot through its skull killing the beast instantly. He leapt from the falling wyvern and landed on the second ones back. The wyvern attempted to shake him off but he threw his rope around the beast's neck and pulled back again riding a kutku. He then fired his second pellet shot at the other aerial beast but it had little effect. So he tried a different tactic. He loaded one shot into his gun and took aim. Carefully and slowly he pulled back on the trigger and let loose a single bullet which twisted through the air and penetrated the creatures hide. At first nothing happened. The young hunters watched in anticipation. They were waiting when suddenly the Shell of the monster erupted in a colossal ball of fire. The crag shot had done its job well as the remains of the kutku fell to the earth, and Saun flew his mount close to the ground. As he got within twenty feet of the ground he removed his rope ad loaded a pierce shot into his gun. He stood on the monsters back as it came to 15 feet. He fired the shot as they reached 15 feet through the monsters skull and out the other side landing beside Rath making him jump suddenly. The beast died in midair as Saun rode the falling carcass right into the ground. The body skidded to a stop and he stepped off smiling widely.

"Aaannnd that boys is how it's done" was all Saun said. There was no clap, no cheer just utter amassment at his skill or insanity no one new which.

Angrily Rath stalked forward towards Saun. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? Were you trying to hit me with that last shot?" Rath stood there trying to stand tall as he could and seem intimidating-which was kind of impossible to someone who just rode a wyvern and fought three off in mid air.

"I don't know did it look something like this?" Saun quickly loaded a blunt shot lvl 1- which was meant to know monsters out- and blasted Rath back fifteen feet onto his ass. Rath stood up angrily and stocked forward, eyes burning with rage.

"YOU INSIGNIFICENT MOSSWINE, YOU CANT THINK YOU WILL GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!" Rath slowly composed himself. "you can be sure the guild will hear about this."

"And you'll tell them what? That you sent a hunter into the training arena without telling him the conditions of the hunt, or that you lied to the hunter about the conditions of the hunt. Both of those are illegal by guild standards so maybe ill over look this one little mistake of yours." With that he walked off with Rath fuming. He slowly walked back to his seat and waited for the next hunter to come. This one he was going to enjoy, he always liked Cassie. She was a good hunter but most of all she was pretty and he always enjoyed watching her no matter how creepy it was.


Cassie

Slowly the sleek young girl walked into the arena. She was 5 foot 8 inches covered head to toe in a white khezu X armour. On her back was a blue blade bow made from a Shogun Ceanataur. She walked with the air of an accomplished hunter which was rare in this village which was the most commonly infested village next to guild town.

"Hey! Rath can you give me a challenge this time not another kutku. Try something a little more powerful?" She yelled. "Let's give these kids a show!"

"As you wish Ms. Cassandra!" Rath replied with a wave and an overly cheerful face. He turned to his felyne named Kid. Kid ran down an alleyway and told the technician to send in the khezu. The technician then pulled one rope which raised a gate and the large white electrically charged beast from its prison. It extended is large head and screeched loudly which made all cringe who could hear it.

"Well it's not much but I suppose its better." She drew her bow and knocked one arrow from her quiver, aiming it casually at the beast. "Come and get me you blind piece of bat S**T!!!" She yelled this in her most girly fashion which confused many student not being sure what to think of her.

The beast picked her out instantly and jumped high in the air. She quickly rolled out of the way and fired an arrow in the bottom of the beast's foot. As the beast landed the arrow lodged itself further and the beast collapsed. The then ran at the beast and drew her carving knife while putting her bow away. The beast squirmed as it tried to pull the broken arrow from its tender foot. Cassie then jumped in the air landing on the creatures up turned stomach and drove the knife through the flabby flesh of the beast's chest and ripped out four ribs then proceeded to kick the Khezu's sternum into its broken rib cage. She jumped back with her armour looking like it as from a red khezu instead and smiled. The beast roared in pain as it died from blood loss staining the ground. As the monster quieted down she turned and bowed holding up a flabby piece of meat.

"Anyone for a yummy khezu fillet?" she asked innocently as a 4 year old. The students were terrified of this girl she was barely 17 and she totally dissembled a monster in less than thirty seconds. She seemed worse than Saun.

"Wonderful display of the hunting craft Ms. Cassandra." Rath said while he stood and clapped glaring at the students to do the same. Cassie bowed and laughed in a very feminine voice and a curtsy.

"Well thank you sir."

"Please call me Rath we are friends after all."

"No were not you creep" she said with a girly smile as she left, leaving Rath with laughing students.

Next day

Gilbert

Gil woke up to a chirping bird at his bed post and smiled. Good old mornings. He always did love mornings. Didn't have to do anything but eat breakfast and lay around till someone came and told him he was late for something. He walked into the kitchen and told apple to make something sweet he didn't care what it was and didn't want to know. He then sat down and drank a deep cup of coffee. Then a knock came on the door. Well that's earlier than normal. He stood up and opened the door to meet two large men in red guild suits carrying sword and shields called queens rapiers. They were handed out to guild bounty hunters because there poison could bring men to there knees.

"Are you Gilbert Murch?" said the one with a large scar across his eye

"Uh….ya that's me how can I help you?" replied Gil kind of confused.

"Cuff him, ill get his weapons." Said Mr. Scar. Instantly the other bounty hunter smashed Gil in the forehead with his shield and Gil blacked out.

"That's the last of them put him with the other three and we'll leave for guild town immediately."
