CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTIONS AND GETTING THE STORY STARTED

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was raining. That's the only thing he was sure about. It was so bloody dark out on the sea, especially when you are just returning from a tiring 2-day hunting trip on one of the islands with the tropical jungle. And of course he just had to go solo on the quest, so there was no one else to keep the sails checked while he could take a good rest. It wasn't even a quest he would have wanted to do, but the village elder had forced him since most of the other hunters near the area were repelling an Azure Lao Shan Lung from the vicinity of the fortress or training. As another wave hat the boats side sending a splash of cold salty seawater to his face, the only thing he could think was 'I better be paid enough zeni for this old hag'

As a lightning struct, the mans face was illuminated, giving us the chance to see what the main character of this story looks like. A regular looking young mans face with a center-parted mid-lenght silver hair. What else is there to say, blue eyes and a slim, slightly muscular figure. Well, you've gotta have a little bit of strenght if you are going to succeed as a hunter. His Mizuha (Chameleos) armor was wet with the seas chilly water and his trusty Enforcers axe tucked safely in the red box aboard the boat, full of items he had acquired during his hunt.

But while we were going on and on about his looks he had arrived to the port below Pokke village, took a ride up to the village on a random persons cart delivering everyday merchandice, arrived to the village, walked to his house and fallen asleep after taking off his wet armor, hoping that his Felyne companions would let him sleep a few hours longer than usually. And soon a not so loud snoring sound filled the two-story house on the edge of the Pokke village.

"Wake up Cabe ya lousy little runt!"

Slowly Cabel lifted his head from his pillow, only to be greeded by non other than the village hunter, Learus smiling brightly at him.

"What's with the sour look kiddo? You should feel honored that the village hunter himself has come to wake you up."

Cabel dropped his head back to the pillow, muttering an answer. "Oh, Lucky me. And before you ask, yes I killed the Gypceros and yes, I'll sell all the parts I got from it. Just make sure the village chief pays me"

"Fine, fine. I'll see that you get paid for your troubles. Brighten up, will ya? It's the most perfect day ever. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining and it's not that cold outside" Learus answered.

The current hunter owning the title of village hunter was Learus. A long time ago when he was travelling near Pokke village he got attacked by a Tigrex and knocked out. After being rescued by some people from Pokke village Learus helped them to defeat the Tigrex, and from then on continued to stay in the village, protecting it and helping the people living there. Nowdays he usually passed his time by random hunts and stupid stunts, like the time he tried to defeat an Akantor with only using a beginner longsword and no potions of any kind. Despite his random anctics, he was a pretty ok guy, and judging from the Akantor armor he liked to wear, a pretty good hunter to boot.

After Learus had excused himself and left Cabels house, Cabel got up from his large, warm bed, only to be greedet by the slightly chilly air. He went to his Felyne kitchen, where his felyne Chefs were preparing some breakfast for themselfs and him.

"Gastronome, nyaa nyaa, theres a letter for you on the table" Cabels top Chef, an orange felyne named Fay told him. Cabel sat down near the table in his felyne kitchen and opened the letter.

Dear Cabel my man

How's it hanging! I've got some nice news for you old buddy, we're coming over there! Me and Kira tought that we should have a little get together thing since we haven't seen eachother in a long time. I hope you've got a house big enough, 'cause we're going to be staying for a long time. I've also got to show you my new COOL, WILD AND AWESOME armor and weapon that I got for myself. Well arive on friday. Well also be bringing a friend we made here in Kokoto Village with us, so hope you don't mind. We'll send someone to deliver some weapons, items and armors for us to use over there so hope you have enough storage space.

See you soon, signed Derreck

Ah, this was pleasant news. The two people, Derreck and Kira were Gabels friends back in the day when all three of them were studying to become hunters. Gabel had not seen his old friends in a long time due to him moving into Pokke village, and the two of them moving into Kokoto Village, another village quite far away from Pokke village. Needles to say, Gabel was excited like a horny Conga on exciteshrooms to see his old friends. As Fay and the other two felyne chefs, Tom and Kei, Tom being a Lemon colored felyne and Kei being a Yellow Tiger felyne, had carried the breakfast to the table they all sat down and began to eat.

"Gastronome, you look very happy. Did something good happen nya?" Tom asked Cabel while spreading some burning mango jelly on his toast.

"Yeah, something good happened. My friends whom with I lost contact after graduating from the guilds hunting class for rookies took contact, and they will be arriving on friday" Cabel answered while trying to stuff a large piece of megabagel down his throat.

"Ah nyaa, so we are getting visitors today. Do you need us to prepare a bigger dinner tonight Gastronome, nya?" Fay asked while gracefully eating her Kokoto rice.

"Yes, it should cover about 4 people and... no wait, did you say today?"

"Yes I did Gastronome, todays friday nya"

Cabel went silent for a while. 'What, how can it be friday already? I left on a quest on wednesday and came ba- OH SHIT! THEY COULD BE HERE ANY MINUTE!' Cabel took a closer look at his houses indoor contidition visible from the doorway to his felyne kitchen. 'Used underwear, foodcrumps, my armor, all swetty from my hunt and other kind of crap all over the place. Dammit they could be here any minute. I better get this stuff cleaned up and fast!' Cabel quickly downed the rest of his megabagel with some water and got up. "Ok, chance of plans. After breakfest help me clean up the house and get the room in upstairs into a usable condition, my friends could be here any minute." Tom and Kei took a look at Fay.

"But Gastronome, we're just chefs nya, and besides, we're not re-" Thats all that Fay got to say before Cabel inturupted her.

"I'll pay you extra, so please help me out you guys."

Fay took a look at both Tom and Kei, who both nodded. "Ok Gastronome, you can count on us nya." And so a hasty cleaning operation started. But unknown to them, someone was already looking for Cables house.

Outside in the village a lonely brown felyne (this meaning the usual colored you see everywhere) in a small suit of copper armor, except for the helm which was green, was walking down the main road in Pokke village, looking around and obviously searching for something. As it walked forward, its head moving from side to side, it failed to notice that it bumbed into another Felyne, this one wearing a fluffy white cape with golden buttons and a smaller red cape over the white one and a leather necklace with a big golden bell on it. The sudden impact caused the armor wearing felyne to loose his balance and bring both of them tumbling down.

"Ouch, watch where you're going, nya" The cape wearing one cried out.

"I'm sorry nya, I wasn't looking where I was going nya." The armored one apologized, got up and offered a paw to help the other felyne up. After the both of them had dusted some dirt and snow off of their clothes and fur, a man wearing the Akantor armor walked up to them and greeded the caped felyne.

"Good day Kaneko, have you seen the chief anywhere?"

"Ah, Village Hunter, good day to y-." The caped felyne named Kaneko answered, but the man in the Akantor armor interrupted her.

"Ah please, just call me by my name already, no need to keep on calling me Village Hunter forever"

"Ah, right. Good day to you Learus"

"Say Kaneko, have you seen the chief anywhere?" Learus asked

"I was just with her, she's in the Guild Hall. In fact I was looking for you before I got runned over by this brute nya" Kaneko answered.

"Hey!" the armored felyne protested "I was just looking for a certain house nya. It's not my fault

you didn't step aside when I was walking towards you nya! You should have seen that I wasn't really looking where I was going!"

"Hmph. You should have had a bit of courtesy. A gentleman usually stands aside from a ladys way, but then again, I should not expect someone so ragged looking to know anything about being a gentleman nya." Kaneko said while turning her head away from the armored felyne.

"What, you're a female?" the armored felyne took a long look at Kaneko. "Oh, so you are nya. I didn't even notice nya."

"Why you-"

"Ok settle down, both of you" Learus said as he grabbed Kanekos paw before it had slapped the armored felynes face. "Now, whos house are you looking for little fellow?"

"It's some guy named Gabels house nya. I have a few of my masters and her friends items to deliver into there nya."

"Oh Gabels house" Learus answered and pointed at a two-story house"It's that house right there"

"Thanks nya" The armored felyne said, and started to walk towards Gabels house, leaving Kaneko and Learus talking to eachother. As the felyne got to the house, it knocked on the door, and soon enough, an exhausted man with silvery white hair opened the door. The man took a few looks left and right, before noticing the felyne under his eyes.

"Are you Gabel nya?"

"Yeah, that's me, but who might you be?" Gabel asked. He was a bit puzzled, it's not usual for an unknown felyne to show up on his doorstep.

"The names Jiro nya, but we can skip the introductions for later nya. I'm here to deliver some equipment for my master and her friends nya. You should have recieved a letter nya. Now help me carry all of them to the house, I left all of the stuff to the villages entrance nya"

"Ok, lead the way" Gabel said and started to follow Jiro after closing his door. 'Oh man, first I clean like hell and now I have to carry a bunch of stuff to my house. Ah well, gotta look at he positive side of this, at least my friends will be here soon now that their items have arrived'

While Cabel and Jiro were carrying stuff to the house and Fay, Tom and Kei were finishing up all that was left of the cleaning, a girl was standing at the entrance to the Pokke Village, holding up a piece of paper, looking a bit puzzled.

And that concludes the first chapter, which is mainly to introduce some the main character(s) of the story, some side characters and the enviroment they all live in. I know it's a bit short, but later chapters should be a lot longer. Obviously the story takes mostly place in the Pokke Village and the hunting areas are usually the ones in MHF2, unless said otherwise. Leave a rewiev if you can.
