The Monster Hunter of Remnant
Here's chapter 2, not a whole lot to say about it.
Hope you guys enjoy.
"Monster hunters?" Weiss questioned, keeping Myrtenaster in her hand in case they decided to attack.
"Yea, guess you guys might not know what that is though, huh?" Zoey questioned, taking the large sword off of her back and leaning it against a tree.
"Okay, quick question; How much does that thing weigh? It's bigger than Ruby" Yang asked, eyeing the large sword that looked far too heavy to wield.
"Uhh, you know I don't actually know it's weight, never really cared to know. It's damn heavy though. It's a weapon type called great sword, it's designed to be heavy cause that's where most of it's power comes from, you're meant to swing it over your head mostly, any other type of swing will be less powerful. Thankfully I've trained with great swords my whole life so I can use them pretty efficiently. " She said as she patted the weapon fondly.
"What did you mean by that?" Weiss asked, sending a scowl the armour clad woman's way.
"By what?" Zoey asked, scratching her head in confusion.
Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed "That we wouldn't know what a monster hunter is. What did you mean by that?"
"Oh, right, that. Well, that's easy. We're from a different world" Zoey said, as though it was the most normal thing in the world.
Silence followed her statement, no one sure on how to respond. Jay face-palmed and groaned. "Maybe you should, I dunno, explain to them what you mean" He said, knocking Zoey over the head with the hilt of his gun.
Zoey cursed and rubbed the back of her head "Ouch, hey, unnecessary" She started before turning back to face the girls "It's kinda obvious we aren't in our own world. We've been here about...three days?" She turned to Jay for confirmation, he nodded his head "Yea, three days. In that time, we've seen weird black monster that evaporate when killed, weird metal flying contraptions, metal things that move along the ground, weapons that can transform, machines that hold food and drink and some other things as well. But the biggest pointer? This place is called remnant. Our home is called Minegarde and we come from a little village called Kokoto" Zoey took a breathe and leaned back, pleased with her explanation.
"I...see" Blake started, not sure how to respond.
"I'd love to stick around and chat, but we need to get this thing somewhere it won't cause trouble once it wakes up" Zoey stood up and put her helmet back on and picked up her great sword.
"Wait, where are you gonna take it?" Ruby asked, running up to stand beside Zoey.
"Probably just deeper into the woods, away from the city so that when it wakes up it can't cause any trouble there" Zoey walked over to check that it was still under the effects of the tranquilliser. Understandably it was, the tranquillisers they use on monsters is pretty damn strong.
While Zoey's back was turned to her, Ruby took the chance to admire the sword on her back. It almost looked like a large blue slab of rock with a handle shoved in it, except on the sharp side was some sort of strange green...slime like substance. Ruby walked over and touched the green stuff and found it too indeed be some kind of slime. Zoey didn't notice Ruby touching her sword and so didn't see the slime begin to change colour on Ruby's finger. Upon seeing the slime turn to yellow she started to panic slightly, not sure what it meant.
"Uhh, Zoey?" Ruby called out.
"What is it?" Zory responded, not turning to look at the young girl.
"What's this slime?" Ruby questioned, holding up her finger, Zoey quickly turned around.
Zoey noticed the red slime on the girls finger and ran over. Zoey grabbed Ruby's hand and wiped the slime off her finger, taking it onto her own hand. Everyone stood for five seconds wondering why Zoey wasn't doing or saying anything. Then, just as Ruby was about to say something, a sudden blast originated from Zoey's hand.
"Fuck" Zoey said under her breathe, Jay walked over and took her wrist, inspecting her hand.
"Uhh, what was that?" Yang asked from her spot against a tree.
"That, was dios slime" Zoey said, rubbing at her hand where the slime was.
"It's special slime created by a monster we call Brachydios, even a little amount of it can cause a nasty blast. That was nothing bad, in fact that blast was tiny compared to what a Brachy can produce, but it will sting for a while" Jay explained, turning to look at Ruby "Be careful next time. Our weapons are made from incredibly dangerous creatures, that makes our weapons incredibly dangerous as well" He said, going back to his seat.
Ruby hung her head after her scolding from the large man. Zoey walked up to her "Don't worry about it, it's good to be curious. Next time, just...ask me though, alright?" She said, patting Ruby on the shoulder.
"You know, it just occurred to me, we still don't know your names" Zoey said, getting the attention of the four huntresses.
Weiss and Blake looked skeptical about telling these possibly dangerous strangers their names. Ruby smiled from beside Zoey.
"I'm Ruby, leader of team RWBY" She said cheerfully, Zoey turned to her with a skeptical look.
"Team RWBY?" She questioned.
"Yup. We're huntresses in training at a combat school near here" Ruby exclaimed with an excited grin on her face. Ruby pointed to the black haired girl with a bow on her head. "That's Blake" Blake nodded her head in greeting, still looking rather skeptical. Next Ruby pointed at the tall blonde "That's my big sis, Yang" Yang brought her hand to her head in a mock salute "Yo" She said.
"And finally" Ruby through her arm over the shoulders of the short white haired girl "This is my bestie, Weiss" Ruby said with a large grin on her face, Weiss rolled her eyes and pried Ruby's arm off of her.
"Firstly, not your bestie" Weiss said, getting an snort of laughter from Ruby, telling Weiss she didn't believe her "And secondly" She continued, turning to glare at Zoey "I'm not sure you should be trusting these two so easily. Their story is completely outlandish and unbelievable and secondly they might try to attack us" Weiss ended her sentence by putting a hand on Myrtenasters hilt.
"Look, trust us or not, doesn't matter to us but we'd rather not fight you guys, we've not eaten in almost two days and we're both exhausted" Zoey said, sitting down on a rock.
Weiss sighed, removing her hand from her weapons hilt. Now that she looked at the woman's face, she did look rather tired.
"Well, how about you come rest up at the school?" Ruby suggested, taking the two hunters by surprise.
"Would that be a good idea? I mean, I doubt whoever runs the place would just let two random people walk into their school. Two people who have large weapons I might add" Zoey said, earning a chuckle from both Ruby and Yang.
"Trust me, he won't mind. He's an odd guy, and like's odd things. He'll probably find you two interesting" Ruby said, confusing Zoey.
"We appreciate it, but it probably won't be a good idea" Zoey said, scratching the back of her head.
Ruby ran over to Zoey and grabbed her arm. She instantly started tugging on the older woman's arm trying in vain to make her stand up. After a few moments of fruitlessly trying to get the woman to stand up, Ruby stopped tugging her arm and huffed.
"Just come with us would you?" Ruby said while walking back over to her teammates.
Zoey sighed and glanced over at Jay, the large man just shrugged "You're the boss, I'll follow you" He said.
Zoey scowled at him "Since when was I the boss?" She asked, shooting the man a scathing look.
"Since I decided earlier that you were" Jay said, chuckling at the huff that Zoey gave out.
Zoey looked back over at the four girls in front of her. Ruby was staring at her with a big grin and started shaking her head at her. Weiss seemed to be lost in thought and was staring off into the distance. Blake was reading a book that she seemed to pull out of no where. And Yang was inspecting Ember Celica, her face dropped, seeming to find something wrong with the left one. Zoey sighed.
"Fine, we'll come with you to this school of yours" Zoey said, standing up and grabbing her sword once more. Jay stood up and picked up his gun, that Weiss was only now noticing was pink.
"Follow us, there should be a plane near by to take us back to Beacon" Yang said, pushing off the tree she was leaning against.
After walking for several minutes they eventually managed to get to the planes location and quickly climbed on. The plane promptly took off and headed back to the school.
"Wait, are we forgetting something?" Yang asked, glancing around at her teammates.
"What do you mea...oh, we forgot JNPR" Ruby said, scratching her head.
Team JNPR got to the location where the plane was supposed to be, but found it empty.
"Huh, you think this is the wrong location?" Jaune questioned, looking over at Pyrrha.
"No, I was certain this was the spot we agreed on" She said.
Nora made a noise of surprise and pointed off into the distance "Think that's the plane that's currently flying away from us?" She asked, a hint of amusement in her voice.
Ren and Pyrrha both sighed upon sighting the plane that was indeed flying away from them.
Jaune just looked around then quickly spun around upon hearing a growl from behind the group.
There stood several beowolves. "Well, seem's like we have some company while we wait for the ship to come back for us" He said as the others came to stand next to him, their weapons drawn.
The plane landed and they all climbed off of it, Zoey stumbling slightly as the huge sword on her back almost pulled her off balance.
Jay came up beside her "You sure it was wise to leave the Glavenus there?" Jay asked, prompting Zoey to stiffen up.
Jay sighed and shook his head, knowing the next words out her mouth. "I...kinda forgot it was there" Zoey muttered, looking away sheepishly.
Jay groaned "How could you forget it was there? It was neither small nor quiet. The damn thing was snoring louder than a Gammoth" He said, annoyance clear in his voice.
"Hey, you two" Ruby shouted to them, her and the other three quite a bit ahead of them.
"Hurry it up, we need to go and meet with Ozpin" Weiss shouted, clearly irritated by the situation.
Zoey and Jay shared a look then left to follow the four girls to see this Ozpin person.
There is chapter 2. Sorry if it's kinda bad, I'm not putting 100% into this story, that should hopefully change though.
Please review, give me all the criticisms.
