Chapter ten: The Hunter's cabin

We currently see our heroes trying to find shelter due to the sudden appearance of the storm. The trees weren't doing much to prevent the rain from getting to them despite the thickness of the leaves and branches.

"Come on!" Ragtagg shouted in anger as he and the others made their way through the forest, "There's got to be a cave or something around here!"

"Hey guys looked at this snail!" Nixxiom got distracted as he saw a large snail on a branch of a tree, which only annoyed everyone else.

"We don't care Nixxiom!" Moocluck shouted at his friend. How they were friends in the first place who knows if this always happens between them, "Help us find a place for us to not get soaked anymore!"

"I hope we find shelter soon." Hisui spoke as Natsu was next to her, trying to keep her from being wet by giving off waves of heat from his body.

The sky continued to thunder once more, and rain began to pour even harder than before. This merely got everyone to be annoyed as the storm simply picked up.

"For crying out loud!" Matty started to shout, "Why is this bloody rain picking up?!" The monk shouted once more in annoyance. This rain wasn't doing him any good right now, and he couldn't open one of his beers he has on him in fear of the rainwater getting into them.

"Stop shouting and keep looking!" Natsu exclaimed at the leather wearer. Natsu wasn't too bothered by the rain compared to everyone else, but he wished they would just quit their whining, 'And yet people say I'm the most annoying one!' The pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer thought to himself as he tried to keep Hisui dry with his magic.

They continued to make their way through the forest as quick as they can while trying to spot anything that can provide shelter. After a few more minutes of this, Nixxiom spotted an opening between the trees.

"Guys! Over here!" The blue armored male called to them, getting them to look where Nixxiom was. He then pointed to what looked like an opening out of the forest.

"Great work Nixxiom!" Natsu praised the blue armored knight as he and the others followed him to the opening.

They went through the opening only to find themselves in a simple opened area with no trees in the forest still. However before any of them could complain about the lack of no shelter around them, Hisui then spotted something.

"There!" The green haired princess exclaimed, getting the others to look at her in confusion.

Natsu, Ragtagg, Nixxiom, Moocluck, and Matty turned to look at where Hisui was referring to, and to their surprised, they spotted what looked like a cabin in the middle of the clearing. There were a few other things near the house, such as what looked like targets. However that was the last thing on their minds since if there was a house that means someone must live there. And if someone lived there, that means shelter!

"Good job Hisui!" Matty told the green haired princess.

"Enough waiting! Let's go already!" Moocluck exclaimed at them, getting them to agree with the red robed male.

The group of six then ran to the house and got on the porch of the cabin. Luckily there was a roof over the porch and thus the six travelers finally got out of the rain.

"Finally! Shelter!" Ragtagg spoke in relief, glad that they finally out of the rain.

"You okay Hisui?" Natsu asked the green haired woman, who couldn't help but blush a little from him being so concern about her.

"Yeah I'm fine." Hisui assured the pink haired male, which got him to be relieved as he smiled.

"That's good to hear." He replied to her, a smile still present on his face as he said that.

"Alright, now that we're out of the rain," Moocluck proceeded to head to the door hoping someone would answer it, "Let's see if anyone's here to let us in."

"Good idea Moocluck." Nixxiom agreed with the warlock as the blue armored male also walked to the door intend on knocking, hoping someone would answer it.

And then the two proceed to slam their fists on the door like their lives depended on it.

"Anyone there?!" Moocluck shouted as he continued to slam his fists onto the door with such speed one could only see a blur instead of fists.

"Please let us in!" Nixxiom also shouted as he also continued to slam his fist onto the door with great speed like Moocluck, all while acting like his life was depended on it.

"What are you two doing?" Matty questioned the knight and warlock, "You're merely to scare anyone doing that." The brown haired male informed them. However they didn't seem to listen as they continued to knock like crazy on the door. This merely got Matty, Ragtagg, Natsu and Hisui to sweat drop at the sight.

After a minute of furiously knocking on the door, footsteps could he heard on the other side of the door. This got the warlock and knight to stop their knocking. A moment later the door opened slightly to reveal a woman.

She looked to be around her twenties. She had long brown hair that went pass her shoulder. She was simply wearing a brown colored short sleeve shirt as well as gray colored jeans. The woman had brown colored eyes as well. Another thing about her was her stomach was a big large compared to the rest of her body. All in all, she looked to be a rather pretty woman.

"Oh, hello there," She greeted them, though she seemed a bit weary of strangers arriving at her and her husband's house, "Is there something I can help you with?" She asked in a polite tone.

"Hello," Hisui spoke up, getting the woman to look at the green haired woman, "We don't mean to be trouble, but could we come in?" She asked the woman.

"Please?" Matty also asked kindly, wanting to go inside the nice and hopefully warm cabin.

'A FEW MINUTES LATER'

We see our heroes inside the cabin in the kitchem. Natsu, Hisui, Ragtagg, Nixxiom, Moocluck, and Matty were all sitting at the table while the woman got them all drinks. They had towels with them to dry themselves off with, expect for Natsu since he simply used his magic to dry off.

"Thank you for letting us in." Ragtagg thanked the woman as she set his glass of water on the table next to him.

"It's no problem. You all seem nice enough to let in." She replied with a smile as two pug dogs were getting their own food from their bowls, "Are any of you hungry by chance? I have finished making dinner." She asked them with a polite tone once more.

"Yes please, thank you." Natsu responded with thanks, with the others saying similar things. The woman went back into the kitchen area to get the food as she spoke once again.

"May I ask what your names are?" She questioned while she was getting the plates and food.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel." Natsu introduced himself.

"I'm Hisui Fiore." Hisui replied to the woman.

"The name's Ragtagg." Ragtagg also answered the woman.

"Moocluck's the name." Moocluck told her.

"Matty is my name." Matty replied.

"And I'm Nixxiom." Nixxiom answered.

"Well then, it's nice to meet you all. You can call me Amanda." The now named Amanda replied with a smile as she returned to the table with large plates of dinner, which happens to only be tacos. As well as salads, "I hope you don't mind eating tacos."

"Tacos?! Those are one of my favorites!" Ragtagg shouted in happiness as he took off his helmet to eat.

"It's no problem at all Miss Amanda." Hisui told the woman.

"There's no need to be so formal. Just Amanda is fine," She replied to the green haired woman, as she turned to look at Ragtagg," And yeah, my husband's loves tacos. It's like his favorite thing of all time." She replied to him.

"Your husband?" Moocluck questioned, as he didn't sense anyone else in the cabin aside from her and the two pugs.

Before she could reply to the warlock's question, everyone heard the door being opened in the other room. This got the six travelers to be confused, but Amanda knew who it was.

"Honey I'm home!" A voice of a man was heard in the other room as the door closed, "Are those tacos I smell?" He asked in a happy tone as his foot steps got closer to the kitchen.

"Gee, I wonder," Amanda replied back with a sarcastic voice, "It's not like you have this every single day." The others merely kept quiet as the man's voice got closer.

"Well I sure hope so cause I'm starving!" The man replied back as the two pugs ran to the other room to greet the man.

"By the way, we have guests!" Amanda called out to him as she went to get his plate ready.

"We do?" The man replied back in confusion. However the six travelers then looked to see the man arriving in the kitchen. This allowed the heroes to see the man.

The man wore two metal shoulder pads on both of his shoulders, and they had a green mouth looked on them as well. He also wore a gray tabard with a yellow sword symbol being present on it. He wore gray metal leggings as well as boots and gloves. He also wore a simple brown cowboy-like hate on his head, as well as having a rather thick black colored beard. The man also had brown colored eyes. To finish it off, hanging from his back looked like some kind of rifle gun.

"Oh hello there," The man replied to the six travelers at the table, "And who might you be?" He asked them with curiosity.

"Hello." Nixxiom waved at the man before going back to eating his tacos in front of him.

"They were passing by until the storm hit," Armanda explained to her husband, "I figured it would be rude if I didn't invite them in until the storm passed." She explained to him. Luckily, he didn't seem to have a problem with it.

"Oh alright then, I guess that's alright," He told his wife as he grinned, "I mean if they try anything funny nothing like a good old shot to the head would get them to stop." He told her with a smile on his face.

Natsu, Matty, and Hisui couldn't help but shiver at how casually he said those words. Ragtagg, Nixxiom, and Moocluck didn't seem bothered by his words.

"Uh… may I ask your name?" Natsu asked the bearded man with the rifle on his back.

The man turned to look at the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer as he simply smiled.

"The name's Brutall. What's yours?" The now named Brutall asked the group before him.

Wala! A new character revealed. Well technically two, but Brutall is more important one. See if any of you can guess who he's based off of.

Here's a hint: He's based of a character like Nixxiom, Moocluck, Ragtagg, and Matty.

See you all next time, whenever that will be.
