Just so you all know I had to reboot my computer and lost the other chapters but I do plan on getting them saved again. This chapter should be longer than all of my other chapters I hope.

Steve rose from his bed with no idea on what to do that day he slipped on his armor and decided to check the quest counter. On his way there he found Monoblos they seemed no different than twins in there armor then only distinctive feature was there quite different weapons. Steve's dual swords were meant for damage dealing as Monoblos' Greatsword was as well, not as much, but slightly heavier made for breaking a monsters many features.

They had arrived at the quest counter ready for a hunt, Monoblos avoided formalities and simply asked if the quest was in, Monoblos was really tired of not killing any monsters he was tired of hunting bears, Steve was sharing this impatience.

"Yeah they finally got in the next quest."

"thanks." Monoblos said bleakly.

He read over the page, his excitement was restored at the news that for the first time in a week he smiled. The quest depicted a monster all to familiar to Steve, The Great Jaggi, he had held it off until now, yesterday had worn him down after he ate and slept he seemed much better than he was before hand.

They wasted no time, they took the quest and waited for escort to the quest area. Once their escort had arrived they hoped in and rushed him onward. They lazily drifted to the quest area. To pass time they kept reading the mission briefing. Seemingly unimpressed Steve looked at who requested and had to say something

"Really?"

"What?" Monoblos said with curiosity.

"Look at who submitted the mission."

"Oh wow, that is pretty dumb, I mean, One of the town's guards?"

"That's just sad."

The boat stopped as their conversation ended, The man guiding the boat spoke.

"We're here."

"Thank you." Steve said tipping the man 100z.

"Yeah, thanks." Monoblos said giving the man 100z as well.

They stepped foot into their camp searching the blue chest for the usual gear, some guild-supplied potions, their maps, a couple paintballs, rations and the small guild-supplied whetstones. They ventured out of the camp to the deserted island area labeled very clearly as area "2".

they had split up to find the monster. Steve saw the tail of the Great Jaggi round a corner and he chased after it expecting an easy battle. This Great Jaggi stood almost 20 feet tall, 4 times the size they normally are,and almost 50 feet long, Steve called for Monoblos in a panic.

"Monoblos! You're going to want to see this!"

Monoblos rounded the corner to see the giant monster, he tried to say something but couldn't due to his amazement. With haste he drew his blade holding it ready to swing when it was time. Steve and Monoblos Charged at the monster. Steve yelled to Monoblos halfway to the monster

"I'm going demon stay out of the way okay!?"

"Got it!" Monoblos replied seconds before he swung his sword at the monster's legs. Steve had a red glow around him, and then he swung like a madman getting in about 5 attacks per second. The monster swung his tail in a semi-circle like pattern towards the monster it hit both Steve and Monoblos, Steve's Demon mode stopped him from getting pushed but, Monoblos went flying, Slamming against a wall, he got up and drank a mega potion.

Monoblos did a draw slash at the Great Jaggi and swung sideways keeping up a constant combo. Steve had come out of demon mode and backed off briefly to recover stamina, after his stamina was full he ran back in a started swinging at a normal pace the Great Jaggi body checked both of them and sent them flying backwards.

Once they had gotten up they each drank a couple potions and ran back in, Steve had done a jump slash as Monoblos did a draw slash. The combined force had knocked the giant monster back, they took their chance and slashed away. The Great Jaggi's face was in reach and Steve had cut away at it breaking the frill. The monster had gotten up and white steam coming from it's breath by the looks of things, It was pissed.

It rapidly attacked the duo taking chunks of their health at a time. Steve was almost dead when he was shot with something that had helped him recover he got up to see that the Great Jaggi was hit with an explosive from an unknown source. Then three more explosive had gone off on him the Jaggi was confused and unable to retaliate to it's hidden foe's attack.

Steve took no time to question it and he took his chance and sliced away at the monster by the time he was done he had stopped to catch his breath he looked up towards the monster's torso then he noticed it was limping away, he chased after it but was stopped by a sudden explosion in front of him. Out ran a young female hunter with a Bowgun that appeared to be made of light weight Great Jaggi parts what she wore was the female variation of the Arzuros armor That Both Steve and Monoblos wore. Her hair was a dark brown. She spoke with a soft voice.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Uh... yeah fine." Steve spoke quickly

"Okay good."

"So... are you here to help or what?"

"Oh! Right I forgot, Let's go!"

They took off after the Great Jaggi, it had ran to it's nest when they arrived the monster was asleep breathing lightly. The Young female hunter took off towards it and placed a massive explosive barrel by its head. She backed away about 20 feet and shot the barrel it exploded and the force threw the Great Jaggi back into the rough rocky wall.

it got up and tried to body check the group but, Monoblos blocked the attack with his sword. Steve ran out from behind the protection of the sword and went into his demon mode and slashed at a brutal speed. The monster quickly grew tired it was beaten and battered from the shot's out of the young huntress' bowgun. It only took a minute or two after they all started attacking again from the monster to give out and die.

They collected they're rewards from the guild and from the beasts dead body and returned from the village where they started questioning the young huntress. Monoblos said something before Steve could

"Okay so who are you?"

"I'm uh..."

"Come on out with it."

"I'm Sarah" She said sounding very unsure

"Well Sarah where you from?" Steve asked very relaxed.

"Same place as you, Torga." The mention of his home upset him, it was the one thing he was trying keep out of his mind.

"Well I've never seen you before."

"I was always in out in the wild, hunting just about anything I could find, training my gunning skills"

"well no wonder you're so good at shooting."

"Thanks!" Sarah smiled at the two.

"Well It's late, do you have a place to stay."

"Yeah the guild sent me to help you, the villagers readied a hut for me, so on another note, I was observing how you two fought."

"Well what did ya think?"

"You two are reckless, you don't seem to plan your attacks."

"Well then..." Steve said coldly

"But you two are brave and do not fear death, it's an admirable trait."

"Well it's late, we should probably go to bed."

"Yeah, I'm exhausted." Moaned Monoblos.

When Steve arrived at his home he found something was off, not being able to pin point it he laid in his bed and fell asleep. The next morning, Steve woke up to find that the swords on his wall was gone he got up and check the rest of his gear and found it was missing as well only the stuff he had on him was left. He ran into town, furious, he went into the elder's house tearing it's door off it's hinges. He ran up to the chief and and yelled telling the chief of his stuff being stolen. The chief muttered just loud enough for Steve to hear it.

"So the rumors are true."

"WHAT RUMORS!?" Steve had been desperate to find someone to tear limb from limb.

"Sorry kid but people have reported someone they didn't recognize going into your house he was armed we couldn't stop him from taking everything from you."

"DAMMIT" Steve punched through a nearby wall.

"What's wrong kid, you still have your dual swords and good armor with you."

"They took the sword that my master wrote his message on." Steve said coldly, leaving the building.
