N/A: Before you ask, complain or anything, I am lazy and spend way too much time lazying around.

Also, I know I butchered Weiss's weapon's name in the last chapter, I won't try it again and I am way too lazy to look it up.

One would think that being a Monster hunter will always be full of thrill and such, always fighting impossibly strong creatures to help others.

Helios Valkirie knows that this isn't true.

He in fact fell into two ways for it to not be 'pure thrill non stop': waiting for a quest that isn't alredy taken and fighting the same species of monster over and over to get a specific item that won't be unusable.

Before, he only knew the latter, he still had a few nightmares about looking for a usable monster gem. But now, he is experiencing the former for the very first time.

''Why is it like this...'' he asks to no one.

''Because there are so many hunters, you are bound to know at least one uneventful moment.'' answered Brulé, his trusty trapper Palico. Palicoes, (in case you are from RWBY and not MH) are a bypedal cat-like species that are drawn to Humans by natural curiousness and decided to help them out of sheer good will. Their ability to hold things in their front paws and intelligence capable of rivaling the Human's own, thus allowing them to learn their language, made them really useful. They have been part of human society for centuries, if not millenias. (And now that history class is over, let's get back to the story at hand.)

Brulé had an orange coat with brown outlines, pointy ears and angry green eyes and wore a Nargacuga S armor set. He was a trapper, but also a workaholic and a genius. He has invented many tools and gadgets, that either only he knows how to use or won't be allowed by the Hunter's Guild, for 'safety measures'. This pissed him off to the highest point. ''And, if you wanna do something, help me organize!''

''Not my job. I kill things, I don't tidy papers up.''

''Well then at least STOP COMPLAINING!''

The force of the Palicoe's scream was so much that Helios fell off the chair he was lazying in and a lot of papers flew onto him.

''Alright, alright... Geeze...'' he muttered while looking ashamed.

Helios was a weak looking man, but his strength was still one of a monster hunter's. His short brown hair was always a mess, but now it is an even bigger one and it was hard, but you could catch a glimpse of the blue eyes on his light skinned face in the papers that flew over him. His Shagaru Magala armor was, for the most part, impossible to see in the mess aside from a few black outlines and pigmented parts that switched between all the colors of the rainbow.

''You can start by cleaning these ones up.'' Brulé suggested/ordered.

''R-right.''

''What are you two doing?'' asked a white female Palico.

The Palico was Gel, Helios's second Palico and a healer. To go with her white fur accompanied by darker accents, she also had a Shagaru Magala armor set and weapon. She was angry at Helios for being lazy, and the guy knew just how much she can hurt so he was litteraly shaking. Her calm blue eyes were unforgiving and struck fear in all those who met them and she was secretly a sadist. A secret that is easely revealed in a hunt.

And now they were stuck in a single caravan because Brulé suggested going exploring the deserted island to pass the time and he prefers to go by land rather than using the flying ships. Sure, they are all good friends that have hunted together for a few years, but they were not made to all stay in one closed place together. And there were actually two other hunters in said caravan, a girl and a boy.

The girl was Blast Kitty. She used to be a Rider, which means that she used to tame monsters instead of killing them. She is actually a pacifist, but she was forced into becoming a hunter not that long ago even though she was a good Rider (but not an expert). She wore a furry coat-like armor that looked more like clothing than anything but was still reliable, and the clothes-like attribute made her feel ok wearing it almost 24/7. Her weapon was a Nargacuga bow, but she also used dual blades. Even though it is prohibited for safety reasons, she wore the two weapon types on her at all times exept in public because of these legal reasons.

The other hunter was Rilamy Grey, but he wanted everyone to call him by his last name for he found his first name stupid and unoriginal. Unlike Blast, he was a veterant hunter that used to wander and hunt on the go, staying pretty far away from society. However, after hunting with Helios a few years back, they became best friends and now live inside Rilamy's caravan. During hunts, he wore the juggernaut armor set, but when he wasn't, he wore a simple plain grey tank top with black pants that went a bit baggy on the bottom. Thanks to his years wandering the lands, he became a good blacksmith out of necessity and made all his stuff by himself, and it was good quality. He even made his weapon, a fusion between a great sword and a chainsaw, the Chainsword, himself.

Speak of the devil, Rilamy came out of his room and saw the ''argument''. He smiled his cocky smile he puts on when he's going to be an asshole and put fuel on the fire just for fun, even if he ends up getting dragged into it, and before he could say a word was nudged on the back by Noodle, Blast's Zamtrios monstie (monster on the hunter's side), and the bulk of the beast made Rilamy trip and fall over with a loud 'thump'. This, in turn, caused Blast herself to come out of her room, alerted by the sound of the experienced hunter being pushed in the back and falling over like an idiot.

After getting up, said hunter gave the beast behind him a death glare, which turned into a smile, then a full out laugh. ''Good one mate!'' he said with a british accent. He then invited the Zamtrios to do a fist bump, which it answered.

Zamtrioses were a smart species, able to learn movements, habits and unterstand different tones in voices. They were three times bigger than an average height human after reaching adulthood, but Noodle was still in the middle of teenagehood, so it was only one and a half times bigger. A Zamtrios's body is one of a shark with a flattened out tail, like dolphins, and four frog like legs which allowed for land travelling. They could also cover themselves in a thick layer of ice, shoot high-pressure jets of freezing water, inflate their bodies with said water to the point where they would cause a tremor after landing from a simple jump and dig/swim under ice, no matter how thick.

''What's going on?'' asked Blast.

Helios, who was carrying a pile of paper in between his hands and his chin and happened to walk by, simply answered: ''The usual.'' earning a dissapointed look and a sigh from Blast.

{Later}

''Ahh... Finally. I'm glad nobody got physical back there...''

''Let's not do that ever again.''

''Nah, I'm down for it.''

''Fuck you.''

''Damn, I haven't been here in ages!''

Brulé's head poked through the door. ''It's only been 5 weeks.''

''I'm used to things going fast n shit!''

''Your problem.'' he stated as he went back inside.

After Helios siged, everyone went on their own merry way, taking in the deserted island's magestic and untouched scenery. They had a fun time and Blast went back to the caravan so they even had a picnic in the nest high up in a hole in a cliff, taking in the fresh sea air and looking at the beauty of the undisturbed sea.

''You know,'' started Helios, ''I'm kinda glad this place has monsters on it. We couldn't experience this kinda stuff otherwise.''

Blast was still breath taken and Rilamy didn't even listen, still eating his well done steak without a care in the world.

Once the latter caught up with what had been said, he replied ''I heard there was a Brachy heard around here. Might wanna be careful. Although we could freacking fuck the bitch over and shit in it's mouth, still better not be taken off guard.'' He went back to his meal. ''Would be fucking humiliating to die from an easy one too because we just didn't see the asshole coming.''

''We just came into their home uninvited. I don't wanna fight them. They might be a good person at heart for all we know.'' said Blast once she came back to her senses.

Rilamy shrugged. ''Meh, if you want.''

''Welp,'' said Helios, standing up and stretching, ''it's been fun but it's twilight already. Let's get back to the caravan before something happens.''

Everyone agreed and went to the caravan, although Blast stayed for a bit longer because she needed some ores to upgrade her armor.

They all fell on the ground in a flash of light.

Team RWBY found themeselves on a beach of a seemingly untouched island, although it was very different to the one they were on a few moments ago, plus it was twilight now while they stepped in the portal during the early morning. The difference with their previous location was that this one was a normal island, not a shrunk down continent.

''I... guess that's that.'' Yang stated, still shocked.

While Weiss was scolding Ruby for her recklessness and Yang was resting/lazying, her back against a big rock, Blake went to explore their surroundings. She saw strange yellow creatures with some sort of spongy hides on their bodies. She sneaked past them and left them alone because she did not know if they were friendly or not, but she had a hunch they were not after seeing them attack a peaceful creature. She went back to find Weiss scolding Yang for being lazy and Ruby examining her weapon (everyone was surprised it took her this long) and they were all taken by surprise when Ruby let out a yell so powerful it rivaled a Grimm's because her Crescent Rose would not unfold, as it was suck like that by salt.

She instantly stopped when the ground began to shake in regular succetions.

They all looked where it came from to find a giant bipedal creature, two or even three times bigger than them. It's body was covered in obsidian like scales, both in color and texture, it had two stumps with three calws on each for arms that had worn out lime green marks and a third stump on it's head like a horn, this one covered in the lime green slime that probably left the maks on the arms. It's mass like tail waved a bit with each loud breath the beast took. It's piercing red eyes were full of anger and it's mouth kept open, clearly showing the edges of it's mouth forming it's teeth and some of the slime coming out like some sort of tired drool. It was probably about to go to sleep or sleeping when Ruby's scream of horror got it to come.

Weiss barely had time to send Ruby a dark look before they both got punched and sent flying at the same time by the creature at incredible speed.

Yang extended her hand towards her little sister, yelling her name, just before the monster roared as hard as the azure one that stranded them, which it followed by coating it's arms in it's saliva slime.

The yellow dragon did not care that her ears bled, she needed to avenge her sister. So she leapt full force towards the obsidian creature, a fist ready to punch. The beast looked up, saw Yang, and got ready to punch too.

When both punches collided, there was so much force, a shockwave was created, blowing all the slime on the arm the beast used to punch everywhere.

Once Yang was back on her feet, she noticed that some of the slime got on her hair. But before she could get angrier, said slime turned yellow then red and exploded, ruining her hair even further, burning it and cutting quite a lot of it. She did not even move from the force of the explosion that could send anybody rolling around on th floor in pain. She was way too angry at that monster for that. First it punched her sister into oblivion with one of her close friends, then it got her hair even dirtier with it's slime, and now it completely destroyed it.

That was the breaking point.

As the beast was putting slime back on it's arm, Yang roared in anger, ran forward faster than usual and gave it an uppercut square in the jaw, sending it staggering backwards a few steps. Feeling all that power in one move, the creature got angry and roared back at the yellow dragon, the slime on it's body turning yellow and more of it appearing on it's back. It started to expire smoke out of it's almost invisible nostrils and it's eyes had no more sanity left in them.

The fight had begun.

The beast jumped high in the air and fell down ams first, but Yang did not even try to avoid it. She instead put her arms in the air and braced for impact. Once the beast fell down on her, she grabbed it's arms, and didn't let go, even with the slime exploding on impact. She did not even leave the beast time to get back down on it's own two legs that she started to spin it around the newly formed crater, ending in by bashing it's back in the ground and mimicking the attack it pulled on her, jumping high in the air, although she just had a fist cocked back. Falling down, she delivered such a punch, her opponent got the air knocked out of it once it received it in the chest. Once it recovered and Yang still hasn't, it punched her off of it and used it's arms to lift itself out from the ground. It ran towards her at speeds you would not belive such a bulk of a beast to be able to go at. Once it got right next to her it placed it's arms on the ground to trap her and planted it's horn into the ground, which started to glow a dangerous yellow. Yang started to crawl backwards, panicked, but a line of explosions burst from the ground so quickly and far that she got hit by two adjascent ones and a third one that was also the last one during her flight. She was out of strength and her aura dissapeared when she blocked the jumping attack, so she took sull damage from the punch and the explosions. Her ears rang and she was slipping into unconciousness while the beast slowly came up to her.

She got ready to die. But then, it staggered to the side.

Looking at the opposite side to the one it staggered to, she saw three armored people with their weapons out, one had a battle axe, another a bow and the last one a giant chinsaw.

She fell unconsious before getting to see the battle.

And for team RWBY, it went so fast they didn't even get a chance to understand what was going on.

The hunters just came because Blast said she heard a Brachy roar and fight and they ended up seeing this normal looking girl lift it up and bash it into the ground. But now, she took a hell of a beating, good thing Blast shot an arrow in it's eye or she would be dead. But now it was focused on them.

Helios tilted his head toward Rilamy. ''Is it an easy one?''

''Yup.'' he confirmed, nodding.

Helios got back straight. ''Huh.''

''Well, what are we waiting for? We need to save her!'' Blast panicked a bit.

''I'm getting to that.'' Rilamy said, rolling his eyes and running towards the opponent.

''Mind checking if she's okay?'' asked Helios to Blast.

''I was gonna do that anyway.'' she immediately answered. ''I'll make sure she's safe. Now go!''

Helios nodded before going straight into combat.

Seeing the three hunters moving, the Brachydios roared and ran towards them. However, before it even got into punching range, it was blinded with a flash bomb. Now only seeing white, it fumbled around, trying to get a lucky hit on anything. Instead, it simply felt great pain as he felt frozen teeth and moving teeth tearing it's scales apart. It staggered once again, and regained the ability to see. With this great tool back, it punched towards the hunter skinned in white and changing colors, only for him to roll above his fist, run towards him and deliver three devastating blows in it's right arm, followed by a painfully powerful hit from the other one on it's left arm, leaving it feeling numb from pain. Looking at it, it saw a gigantic gap through half of the arm's width. Not wanting to die, it ran away, one of the two hunters following it but stopping after a female one yelled. It did not even try to backstab him and kept on running deeper into the caves of the island.

''Why didn't you let me kill it?'' complained Rilamy.

''It was badly injured and running for dear life.'' She took the unconcious stranger on her back. ''There was no need to.''

Rilamy sucked air through his teeth but didn't complain any further. Helios was already gone to the caravan to prepare the medical bay.

''H-hey!'' yelled a female voice.

They turned around and saw a black clothed girl that looked like she had been through hell and back shaking in fear while desperately trying to stand her ground. Behind her was a second white clothed girl helping a third black and red clothed one stand up and both were in the same condition as the first one.

''Let her go.'' asked the black clothed girl with a determined look.

Blast and Rilamy looked at each other with confusion.

Yeah, it is shorter than last chapter, but my reason is that I could not think of any other way to end it nicely or make the events last longer, the fights being made to be fast.

But it was still a nice chapter nonetheless.

Farewell my subjects,

Your Saltyness.
