Oh, please. No, stop with the praises. You're making me blush. Oh ho ho... Go on.

Hey, guys it's Killed Streak and I want to present to you another chapter. Yay! Now, there was a confusion going on with the last one and I want to clear it up. The reason I timeskip was because I wanted Redclaw to grow up already. You see, it's gonna take too much time for me to introduce your character and developed them, just so I can head back to the main topic... Kaleb/Silverwings and Starfangs, pr just Silverwings in general. Now, I don't mind your characters being there because it adds extra topic to entertain while I try to come up with a way for our... lovebirds to figure it out.

Now, I'm gonna have to give this away: the reason why Silverwings haven't gotten with Starfangs was because he still has human psyche; you can't expect the man to just say "I have become overgrown flying lizard, so time to f*** the pink one." No, that's too early, but 3 or 5 years would be too late. That being said, let's head to the contributors.

Establishing communication!

Gofusion: Hey, tell your dad I said happy birthday for me, okay. Also, you're welcome.

Hyeo128: I know you're surprised. You're welcome, by the way. Forgive me for giving your OC a mate but I can't have unnatural monster's roaming like a loner. Now, the reason why your character win was because he was on his element. Silverwings has no experiences in fighting around water, neither does Cerato. Also, can you give me the name of Maw'a species; Cerato is created - which remains unknown from who or what - so he's exempted from the species thing.

Ddragon21: Okay, let's make this clear for you, man. In this story, we contribute OCs and monster OCs. In other words, you have to develop your character but it has to fit with the Monster Hunter franchise. Now, D, about the human idea, can you come with the details for the princess thing? Please? Thanks, man.

Organization 13 is the best: Thanks, man. Okay, I'll try to fit that in this chapter.

Now, without further ado, let's begin.

{Starfangs POV}

"Ma!" a voice called from the entrance of the den. "Ma! Ma!" It was Redclaw.

"Reclaw?" I cried out of worry. I made my way to the entrance and found her staring... at herself. What? I mean, yeah, I've seen weird things but I was hoping Redclaw would be a bit normal compared to... them. Ugh.

"Redclaw, what are you doing?" I asked her, making my way to her.

"Ma, look!" she shouted excitedly. "I have a bug on my fur!" she nodded to indicate to the thing she said on her fur. "Its a Fulgurbug!"

The only response I gave was "Uuuuuuh, that's... great?" I said with a forced smile.

Redclaw smiled her innocent smile and ran off into the den - probably to tell Silverwings. I followed behind her, lost in my thoughts on how I became a mother for Redclaw. It was a surprising thing to be announced a mother for a youngling, especially one from a different species. Yeah, I didn't know how to react to that when Silverwings, by default, named me mother for Redclaw when he wanted her to be part of the family.

I broke my train of thought when I arrived where the rest was; Silverwings was laying besides Cerato, recovering from their injuries they suffered when they encountered that monster out there. The one they said that was nearby the beach, which was just off my - and Silverwings' - marker by a few tail-lengths. He's safe for now, whoever he is.

"Pa, I have a Fulgurbug! Here, look!" she squealed in excitement as she showed her side. "See!"

"Hey, that's great!" Silverwings exclaimed. "That means you're growing up already!"

"Uhh," Cerato was confused as I was about this whole bug thing. "Can someone tell me what's going on?" he looked to my direction, but I shrugged at him as a response.

"Fulgurbugs helps Stygian Zinorges - that's Redclaw as an example - produce a lightning ability for offensive attacks or defensive." Silverwings explained. "Now, all Redclaw has to do now is feed them dragonfell berries to make them more efficient in emitting electricity."

... You can see the whole surprise that was plastered in my face and Cerato's as how perfectly knowledgeable Silverwing was about that bug. Just... how in the hell did he know?

Cerato voiced this when he said, "How did you know this?"

Silverwings face went pale for a moment, yeah, I noticed that, "Um, c-common knowledge." he said weakly. "Everybody knows this, since Zinogres are on of the fierce monsters in the world."

...I'm not convinced. He's hiding something. So I decided to push it.

"Really?" I asked.

"Um, y-yeah." he replied, nervously. I stared deep into his eyes, and managed to sense his hesitation; he's lying. "Um, Cerato. I think it is time for us to pay a promised visit for our friend back at the beach." he said, avoiding the situation while he walked out to the entrance.

"Friend?! *Blows raspberries!* More like arch-nemesis!" I swear, Cerato's a great example around Redclaw for some reason. "That last fight, pfftt, he cheated!"

"How did he cheated?" I asked, casually. "Sounds like he's a devious type when you described him."

"Oh, he cheated all right. He... um, yeah, he... uh."

Uncle of the year. I thought in my mind, as I shook my head in exasperation. "The least you could do, Cerato, is to spare yourself the humility by shutting up." I said, walkng over to Redcalw who was still admiring her... bug.

"Hey, the least you could do is prepare yourself for... mating season." he grinned viciously, folding his claws together.

"W-what?!" I cried. How- ?

"Hey, it's spring, isn't it?" he said in is most smug tone he could muster. I turned to where Silverwings is and, to my relief, he was at the entrance stretching his wings. "I can't guess if he has good control over his urges or he is a good at covering it up. Silverwings is indeed a mystery."

"Urges?! What urges?" I asked.

"Come on, Starfangs. Don't tell me you have gotten stupid over the years, have you?" he coyly asked, smiling wider than before.

"I blame the company I associate with," I snorted in reply. "They give me the headaches, and horn aches." Yeah, the being caused by me repeatedly smashing my head against the wall whenever some of their nonsense pops up - and, yes, I'm referring to the idiots that is Cerato and Silverwings.

Cerato snorted mildly. "Come on, Starfangs. You know that mating season will come, the heat is about to set in, and your self-control would be irrelevant against the Urge."

"Well, ain't you the experts in all things."

"Every being has these, except for me."

"Then, how do you know about it?" I asked, mildly glaring at him.

"... Common knowledge." he smirked as he replied. "I wish you luck."

"Luck?! Luck for what?" I said.

"Getting your mate."

"Who says I would want Silverwings for a mate?" I scolded.

"Well, I didn't say anything about Silverwings as your mate." he said, smiling coyly as he walked out to meet up with Silverwings.

I couldn't believe I fell for that! I silently raged as they left. I had the sudden impulse to kill something, but a presence was nearby me. I looked down and saw Redclaw by me- Redclaw!

"Hey, Ma." she smiled up at me.

"R-Redclaw! H-how long have you been here?" I asked, worry laced my entire word.

"Oh, ever since." again she smiled.

"Oh, o-okay." I'm failing at being calm around her for some reason.

"Hey, Ma?"

I looked even more hesitant when start she to asked me. "Yes."

"What's mating season?"

Immediately, I paled at her question. I panicked and grab her into a hug within my wings. I was hugging her for reassurance, and many more as I began to cry out, "Redclaw, please, please, PLEASE don't mention this to Silverwings on whatever you just heard. Please, I beg you!"

"Ma- !"

"Please don't utter single vowel about anything you just heard, okay?" I raked my claws over her fur as to pet her. I was Really freaking out.

"Ma-!"

"I don't know how I'm gonna live this down when- ."

"Ma!" Redclaw screamed through my wings. "Need... to breath!"

"What- Oh, sorry!" I let her go, and she shook her fur as if to shake off the experience. "Redclaw, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." she said with a smile. "And don't worry, I won't tell Pa about what I heard."

"And also to forget that you even heard of it!" I literally panicked.

"Yes, Ma. Sheesh." she snorted. "If it makes you fell better, we'll pinky promise." she said, holding up her paw with her pinky-claw extended.

What? "Excuse me, pinky promise?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's when we make a promise with our pinky claw and never, ever broke the promise." she said, smiling sweetly. I don't know how this works, but desparation made me just humor the young Zinogre. I extended my pinky-claw and hooked it with hers - I still thought it was weird.

"So, that's it?"

"Yep, that's it."

"...*Sigh!* you've been hanging out with Silverwings for too long. come on, off to bed."

"But, Ma!"

"But, Ma- nothing. Come on. It's your nap-time." Me and Redclaw went further into the den, snuggling up as we went to sleep.

{Silverwings POV}

Me and Cerato, as promised, went back to visit Maw back at the beach. When we arrived, he was already waiting, albeit impatiently. It didn't start off well when Cerato demanded for a rematch, pressing his forehead against Maw's.

As you can guess, I had to step between them both. *Sigh* Yep, I can tell these guys would be the bane of me.

"How's about it, huh? Come on, rematch. I dare you!" Cerato growled.

Maw seemed pretty calm about it, but his voice says other wise, "Pfft, I rather deal with a pink-skins rather than you."

Pink-skins? Oh, the humans. Right.

"Please. Don't mention those bunch of rejects that tried to kill me."

"Don't forget that I saved you from them." I said my share into the conversation, which earned a look from Maw and a indignant one from Cerato.

"You saved him from the pink-skins?" Maw asked, surprised.

"Yeah." I replied. "If it wasn't for me, he would be skinned and eaten by the pink-skins." that sounded weird for me, pink-skins?

"... Why?" Maw asked, clearly confused.

"Well, why did you spared us?" I asked in reply. "You could have killed us but you let us go. What for?"

"I was curious at your... choice of company." he said, looking straight at Cerato when he said "company", which he returned the favor with his tongue sticking out.

"Well, I tell you this but I hope you won't have to find out what it means." I began to say, causing both of them to look at me surprised. "I am, as I was called, a traitor. I sympathize with the enemy, all because I felt no hate, no anger, but understanding to them. This was looked down upon, but I was am among others who felt the same way."

I looked at them, and they me, but they were being more curious to what I said while I was looking at them in sadness.

"If it was looked down upon, why did you do it? Was it to spite your kinds?" Maw asked.

"Yeah, you never made it clear on how you Rathalos work." Cerato added his share.

"Hmmm, let's just keep it between us, okay? I am not what you think, but I want you to consider me a friend."

"Friend?!" Maw said in surprise. "Why?"

"Why not?" I replied, smiling at him.

"Hey, at this rate, we'll be making friends to the prey." Cerato huffed, albeit harmlessly.

"*Chuckle* Toto, there are times when I dreamed that would happen." I said to him, then I turned to Maw as I spoke. "Life is full of death, Maw, but it doesn't always have to be out of hate or anger... Necessity is what drives us, but hate consumes us in a very bad way. I like to understand the things as they are, what they do, and why they do it."

"So... you befriend and adopt him and the Zinogre just out of understanding?" Maw asked. Cerato caught up on Maw's question and looked at me the same way.

"Yes, all because I understand them more than they think they do." I said, solemnly staring into the horizon of the water. "With that said, I guess I answered your question, right?"

"Yes, indeed, but your still haven't explain on how you do 'understand' us." Cerato said instead - referring to him and Redclaw.

"I agree with him - but that's something that I don't enjoy doing again." Maw growled, though not at me.

"Same here, flippers." Cerato sneered back at him.

I knew what I said could have revealed what I truly am, but it was the best way to vent it out. I wanted to keep up this hinting thing because I am sick of carrying this secret. I wanted them to view humans not with hate, but, then again, their view on us still moot that from making us, although it was a good try.

"Over the years you have been with me, Cerato," I began to say. "What do you think of me?"

"... Um, strange." he replied.

I nodded before turning to Maw and asked, "What about you?"

"Same, really." Maw did a shrug with his shoulder since he - and Cerato, too - is a bipedal-type monster.

I smiled in response to their comments. "Well, get used to it, cause that's who I am."

"Huh, exactly the type personality to adopt other species into their folds." Cerato commented. "I can imagine the weirdness of the family."

"Reference to you, Cerato." I joked before something dawned on me. "Maw, you said you have a family, right?"

"Yes, my mate is preparing to hatch the younglings. Why?"

"Well, I haven't met them, yet."

Maw tensed up immediately, but it was understandable. "Why do you want to meet them?"

"I just want to. You get hear about my family, but what about yours?" he glared at me threateningly. "I won't be of any harm to them, I swear... You have my word."

... *Tensed silence*

"Wait here," he only said, as he swam off into the waters.

Cerato and I waited for what seemed like hours before we saw two figures appear out of the water; one of them was Maws, and the other looked like him but a bit more shorter, also had a lighter-purple - violet color. That must be his mate.

Both of them changed forms as they came on land, but his mate stood far off while Maws came a bit closer but guardedly.

"So, that's her?" I asked.

"Yes," he replied, looking more tensed than usual. Maybe because he thinks I'm a threat to his mate, and so does she.

"Greetings!" I called out to her. She only regarded me coldly, baring her fangs at me and Cerato. "I mean no harm to you."

"A likely intention." she snarled sarcastically.

"What's your name?" I asked

"Coraltail." she replied.

"... How many eggs do you have?" I asked.

They both tensed up which made Cerato preparing for trouble when he crouched for combat. I waved my wings and he relaxed, albeit reluctantly.

"Why do you ask?!" Maw's made asked.

I smiled as calmly as possible, and reassuring as I can. "I just want to know." they both looked at me, calculatingly. I'm starting to think that the truce was short-lived.

"12. We have 12 eggs about to hatch." Coraltail answered reluctantly.

"Well, I like to congratulate you two." I bowed my head slightly, earning a suprise expression form both of them. I raised my head up and continued my smile. "Well, Maw's, from now on, I can promise you that you and your family will have a friend in me. As long as I am around, I will protect you two and your young ones. If you need anything, anything at all, I will gladly help you. That's a promise."

They both stood dumbfounded - Cerato included.

"This area is open for you to explore. I will bear you no ill will if I see you I promise to give you much space needed for you to be comfortable." I waited for them to respond, but their jaws were too agape to function properly.

Finally, Maw spoke. "Why?" his eyes voice were what can be described astounded.

"... consider it an understanding that we both have." I nodded in farewell as I walked away. Cerato followed behind, but his silence was not unnoticed. "Yes, Toto?"

"...What are you gonna tell Starfangs about this?"

"Same way as I have always done, Cerato: smile like an idiot and expect my tail to get chewed off." I replied.

"Oi-vey. I'm gonna have to stay out of this one. It's like you planned your death this way." We both laughed and returned home. As I said, expecting my tailed chewed right off when we told Starfangs the bad news.

Whew, done.

Hey, guys, hope you enjoyed this please leave a review if you do, and if you don't, don't be shy to say it out loud.

Announcement: I am planning on having a series posted up which I like to call "Survive the Harem!" The title sums it up, but the suspense I have planned is annoying as thriilers (Kinda). Anyway, I need your help on this, cause I planned this series to be short chapter, but the adventures could span out to different types of category we could explore.
Like Animes, for example; I like this series to be based of opened world area where the harem could varies, but they won't be any sex... okay there might be. But, like the title implies, I wanted it to be about OC characters surviving harem at a area-wide scale. Maybe even global.
So, suggestion would be helpful. Please. *Huge puppy eyes*

Anyway, until then, I'll see ya in the next chapter.

Peace!
