(Revised)

One day, while I was playing Monster Hunter Tri, I was thinking that there should be a fanfiction about three monster hunters. (Get it? Monster Hunter Tri? Hahaha...) Anyway, I hope that you enjoy my story!

Note: This is NOT going to be just another "Monster Hunter Tri" story fanfic. This fanfiction is going to have many different twists to it, as well as more plot because of three characters.

Disclaimer: I don't own Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter II, Monster Hunter III, or any other game with the term "Monster Hunter" in the title.

Chapter 1: Enter the Isle

"C'mon, bro!" Shouted a voice in my ear, "We're at the island!"

I opened my eyes, slowly, and looked at the interior of our cabin.

"We're here, Kev!" Shouted the voice again.

I yawned, and rolled over on the bed. How could he have woken me up now? I was having the most vivid dream.

"Kev! Do you want to shame our parents?" Asked a different voice. That snapped me awake.

I stood up to be greeted by my younger brother, Ray, and my older sister, Vail.

"Good," Vail said, "You're up."

"Please don't bring up our parents in your arguments, okay?" I asked. Our parents had been expert hunters, who disappeared one day when they went off into the desert after... something.

She nodded, "Sure," she said.

Ray grinned, "Right now, though, we have more important things to worry about."

"Like what?" I asked.

"We've reached Moga Village!" Vail said, "Have you forgotten already?"

It all came flooding back to me. We-my siblings and I-had just recently become licensed monster hunters. We decided to travel to Moga Village so we could get stronger, before finally heading to Loc Lac City.

My name is Kerivane, or Kev, for short. I'm a monster hunter. That's right, a monster hunter. Surprisingly enough, me and my siblings, Valiance (or Vail, as we call her) and Radiance (Ray), were only kids when we'd signed up to be monster hunters. Currently, Vail is seventeen, and Ray and I are both fifteen (we're fraternal twins).

"Geez, Kev!" Ray said, "This is a really big thing! I mean, it's not every day that children become licensed monster hunters."

"We're not children," I said, placing my hands behind my head, "We're teenagers, remember?"

"Well," Vail smirked, "It doesn't matter much, right?" She placed her right hand around the large, iron greatsword strapped to her back. A staple among beginning hunters, "After all, a hunter's a hunter, right?"

I shrugged, and rubbed some sleep out of my eyes. To begin with, the guild had given the three of us each our own weapon based off of a poll we'd taken. I was given a Hunter's Knife, Vail was given an Iron Sword, and Ray was given an Iron Hammer.

Of course, the weapons that we'd been given coordinated with our personalities. For example, Ray was mischievous, but could deliver crushing blows quickly and decisively. Vail was strong and brave, which was what got her a strong, deadly weapon, like the hammer. Me? My weapon reflected my want to get into battle, and then promptly escape.

Yeah, I'm not brave like my sister, or resourceful like my brother, but I still had some talents that many people do not know about. For instance, I'm rather quick, and I'm a good strategist.

Oh, and I can communicate with monsters.

Anyway, as Vail, Ray, and I walked off the boat onto the island, the entire village began to shake horribly. I'm not an expert on earthquakes, but I can honestly say that this one would probably rank around a seven or an eight on the seismic charts.

But that's not the point.

The entire village was shaking horribly, and, for a moment, I'd thought that Moga Village had no chance at surviving the quake. I feared that the village, made of wood, would break apart and float out to sea.

Thankfully, my fears were proved false.

The village stayed intact, but still, I knew that this island was suffering from many earthquakes recently. Of course, it was now that we'd come here, wasn't it? We just had to be sent off to this village in a time of crisis.

But, I digress.

As we walked over to the center of the small village, we found ourselves standing in a crowd of villagers. The chief, an old man in a cloak, looked up at us and grinned.

"Ah, here we are," he said, "It took all of you long enough to get here!"

"Sorry..." I said.

"Oh, I'm just joking," the chief said, jovially, "After all, we're all glad to see that you're finally here!"

Vail smiled, feeling at ease, "Well, it's nice to finally get here," she said, "My brothers and I have been anxious to go hunting!"

I yawned, still tired.

"As I was saying," my sister said, quickly reverting the subject, "My brothers and I are very excited to start hunting monsters."

"Well," the chief said, "You couldn't have come at a better time! What with the Lagiacrus and all..."

Ray gasped at this, "A Lagiacrus? Those things are extremely dangerous! How do you expect us, newbie hunters, to kill it?"

"Well, er, I mean..." the chief stammered, "You're not expected to kill it yet. No, not for a while. First, you need to get stronger! And to do that, you need to complete missions!"

"Oh, uh, I'm sorry," Ray said apologetically, "I just get really worked up when I hear about monsters, especially the dangerous kind! Like Barioth! Or Uragaan! Or-"

"Anyway," Vail said, "We're here to help you guys out, so, uh, what is it that you want us to do right now?"

"Now?" Asked the chief, "Well, my son, we call him Junior, went off into the Moga Woods recently. Do you think you could go find him? It'll give you a good start to our island's layout."

"Sure," I said. I stifled a yawn, "We'd be glad to find your son."

"Thanks," the chief said, "He'll probably be hangin' around the base camp, or, rather, what's left of it."

"Alright," I said, "C'mon, Vail, Ray, let's go."

And with that, our tale begins...
