"This is crazy" Glenn mumbled. "No its not" Sean replied as he stood about three meters away from the now green armoured blonde. "I'm going to die" Glenn added with a deep panned expression under his scaled helmet.

"No you're not" Sean replied again as Glenn glanced at him. "I don't even know what to do with this thing, let along kill that!" Glenn yelled pointing towards the charging pink and red raptor that was heading towards them.

"Just do what I told you, and better hurry up, it's here" Sean said as Glenn turned back towards the beast, letting out a yelp as he leaped to the side, just dodging its powerful jaw form taking his head off.

"Will you help me!" Glenn screamed, diving under the large raptors tail swipe, rolling to his feet as he stared fearfully at the beast. "You don't need my help" Sean said uncaringly as he lead against his new broad sword that he made from the left over piece of his bone sword and the Rathian scales and bones.

"I'm going to die!" Glenn screamed, as the great Jaggi shoulder charged him, slamming him into the canyon wall. His thoughts were in confusion as he stumbled to the side, barely avoiding the beast head on charge as it crashed into the wall behind him.

"You're doing fine" Sean said with a chuckle as he watched the blonde clumsily dodge the Jaggi lunges. "But we do have a lot of work to do if we want to fight that Lagiacrus" he whispered to himself, casting a glance towards the lake in the distance.

"Ah!" Glenn screamed, the Jaggi's tail crashing into his armoured chest, sending him straight into the canyon wall. Groaning, the green scaled blonde looked up, his eyes widening as he dove to the side, avoiding the body slam as it crashed into the wall instead.

Twisting to face the confused beast, Glenn gripped his Katana's handle, drawing it as quickly as he could while stepping closer to the confused raptor. Instead of scoring a wound on the beast, it stumbled back in pain from the hit of his sword.

Sean only groaned in disbelief as Glenn finally attacked the beast, only to mess up horribly. "That's backwards" e said, gesturing to the Katana Glenn was holding, the blade pointing towards him rather than the monster.

Yep, he had a lot of work to do.

Glenn only stared at his sword in confusion, his eyes widening as he was tackled to the ground by the beast he had just whacked up side the head. Bringing his blade up, the blonde grunted as the blunt end was caught in its mouth, prevent it from taking a piece out of his neck.

"Use the other side already!" Sean yelled as Glenn struggled to keep the enraged Jaggi from killing him, the claws already working to get through his armour. Thinking fast, Glenn pushed his right hand to the left, dragging the blade across the beast mouth before the hilt slammed into its exposed cheek.

As it stumbled off of him, Glenn twisted the bladed end skyward, rolling away from the raptor as the tip of the bone Katana sliced through its jaw. as the great Jaggi roared in pain, Glenn pushed himself to his feet, gripping the Katana in both hands, finally holding it correctly.

With the beats distracted, Glenn lunged forward, stabbing the tip of his blade into the creatures exposed neck, easily piercing the soft flesh. Blood sprayed from the creature wound as Glenn tore his blade downwards, ripping the bone Katana out of its throat, taking flesh and bone with it.

Glenn panted heavily, his blade covered in the Jaggi's blood as his corpse fell over, blood continuing to leak form the large hole in its throat. "Nice job" Sean praised, walking up to the blonde as said green scaled teen collapsed to his knees.

"The Hide from this will help with upgrading your blade, it'll make it shaper and stronger" Sean said as Glenn looked at the blood soaked Katana in his grip. "Yeah, sharper" Glenn mumbled as he stood up, Sean steadying him as he almost toppled over.

Drawing his blade back, the teenage blonde flicked his wrist, cleaning the blade of the excess blood before sheathing it onto his back. "We should..." Sean was cut off as numerous growls echoed around around the small holes and cave entrances around the canyon.

"We need to move" he whispered, slowly reaching for his broadsword as Glenn looked at him in confusion. "Why?" he questioned, only to be answered as something landed behind him with a loud dull thud.

Slowly turning, the blonde stared in disbelief as a much bigger great Jaggi stood directly behind him, numerous ones the same size as the one he had just killed crawling out of the caves, each snarling at the duo.

"That's why" Sean said, drawing his blade as he turned to one of the Jaggi's to his left, the large Rathian green blade sliced through the Jaggi's head, killing it as the black haired teen took off running.

Glenn only screamed as he took off after the bone armoured teen, the pack of Jaggi's' following suit, each roaring or growling at them. "Keep running!" Sean yelled, sprinting around the corner of the canyon, Glenn hot on his heels as the pack was directly behind him.

"What do we do!" Glenn yelled, matching the more experienced hunters speed, surprising said bone armoured teen. "We need to lose them and get back to the camp on the hills!" he yelled over the collective roars of the pack.

Turning down a more narrow canyon pass, Sean was unprepared as a Jaggi tackled him to the ground. Both him and the beats crashed into the wall, Sean unable to reach his blade as the Jaggi dug its claws into his exposed stomach.

It didn't get further as Glenn shoulder charged it into the canyon wall, throwing it off Sean as he pinned it with as much strength as his tired muscles could offer. Sean didn't think as he jumped to his feet, his right fist already swinging towards the raptors head.

Its struggles stopped as Sean's bone armoured fist caved its skull in, its body slumping to the ground as Glenn breathed in deeply. They didn't have any more time to think as the large great Jaggi came storming through the narrow canyon, its body smashing into the wall as both Sean and Glenn took off running again.

More of the raptors joined in on the chase, bounding form walls and running after the two young hunters. "We're running out of space" Glenn screamed, noticing that both of them were in fact running towards an abyss.

"Why aren't we slowing down!" he continued as Sean picked up speed, avoiding having his ankles clawed at as Glenn side stepped the raptor trying to leap onto his back from above. "Don't question me!" Sean yelled back, leaping over the edge as Glenn followed, screaming like a little girl all the way into the darkness below.

"My face!" Glenn screamed, clutching his face as he landed on his chest, the soft sand and sounds of flowing water making him wonder where he ended up. Only for his thought to shatter as someone landed on him.

"My back" he groaned as Sean looked down at his student, wondering how the blonde got under him if he had jumped first. "Well, we ended up somewhere" Sean mused climbing to his feet as Glenn groaned on the floor, most likely needing some help to get up again.

"Why is there sand here?" Glenn questioned as he sat up, looking at the water fall that was creating a small stream through the muddy sand. A single tree sprouting form the small tiny island as green and orange antelope grazed it.

"Well, this island does have a desert reaching all the way across the north coast" Sean replied as he helped Glenn to his feet. "But, isn't the desert off limits because of..." Glenn was stopped form continuing as Sean snapped his head behind them.

"Because of the niblesnarfs" he said slowly as Glenn looked at him warily. "There's one behind us, isn't there" he questioned in a small voice as Sean's ram skulls helmet nodded slowly. "What do we do" he asked, feeling the large sand sharks breath on his back.

"Avoid the teeth and..." he paused as the sand shark roared in their faces. "RUN!" he yelled, both of them taking off towards the exit of the cave, the sand shark flopping through the ground after them. Both hunters emerged out of the cave, the sweltering heat of the desert sun hitting them in the face as they paused to stare out into the sandy ocean.

That's when the niblesnarf reminded them they were being chased.

"How do we kill this thing!" Glenn yelled, throwing his body to the ground as the sand shark flew over his head, the rows of razor sharp teeth almost taking his head from his shoulders. "We don't!" Sean yelled in replied, watching as the niblesnarf vanished underground, his legs already moving as he knew the beats would come up to try and chomp on one of them.

"Then what do we do!" Glenn yelled, leaping out of the way as the sand shark came up from under him, his Katana falling out of its sheath, landing in the sand meters away from him. "We just need to get to the camp, we already lost the Jaggi's what's a niblesnarf added into the mix" Sean added.

Turning back towards the shark, Glenn looked to see it glaring at him, the fins on the corner of its armour head sucking in sand as he stared in worry at what it would about to do. his answer was the beats raising out of the sand, its jaw open wide as it started to suck the sand in, creating a vortex.

Glenn's eyes widen in fear as he felt himself being pulled forward, his weapon gone and the teeth of the shark waiting for him. "help!" Glenn yelled as he dove to the ground, looking for anything to hold onto as the sand under him started to be sucked into the beast jaw.

Struggling to get away, Glenn felt himself being pulled closer to the beast, the sand offering no grip as he fruitlessly struggled to get away from the sand monster.

It all seemed to stop, the beast roaring in pain as it dove into the ground. Glenn turned his head, his body covered in sand as he noticed Sean standing where the niblesnarf was, his blade coated in a small amount of black blood as he sighed in relief.

"Thanks" he sighed, climbing to his feet as Sean rushed over to him. "Let's just get out of here" Sean said, sheathing his blade as he prepared to run towards the rocky hills where the base camp was located.

"But...my sword" Glenn mumbled as the bone armoured teen groaned. "Then lets go..." he paused as the sand shark emerged form the ground once again, staring at the two of them as Glenn weakly pointed towards it.

"It's on its back" he whispered fearfully as Sean grunted in frustration, his eyes locking on to the bone blade that was trapped between the niblesnarfs spine. His eyes narrowed as he noticed its tail flicking in and out of the sand, as if trying to dislodge the sword.

A smile grew under his helmet as he glanced at the fear filled blonde.

"Never mind, we're going to kill it" Sean said with a laugh as Glenn stared up at him like he was stupid. He didn't get to voice he objection to the idea as Sean slammed the guard of his helmet down on his face and smiled under his own helmet.

"Let's go!" he yelled, taking off in the opposite direction of the niblesnarf. Glenn didn't, think as he scampered to his feet, taking off after Sean as the niblesnarf leaped into the air. The roar of the sand shark grew closer, Sean skidding to a stop, his body twisting towards it as Glenn went wide eyed.

Dropping to his knees, the green scaled blonde slide forward, watching with wide eyes under his helmet as the large Rathian broadsword flew over his head. Directly behind him, the niblesnarf was getting the flew brute force of the blade, cracking the tip of its armour nose as he fell on to its back.

"Come on!" Sean yelled, running around the sand shark, watching as he rolled over on to its stomach. Its eyes landed on Glenn, the blonde stepping back warily as clouds of sand exploded out of the fins on the side of its head.

He could already see it sucking sand in once again as he breathed out slowly. "Fuck it" he cursed, charging forward as the beast was preoccupied. Before it could lift its head out of the sand, the blonde leaped on to its nose, his scaled boot slamming into its cracked nose.

The niblesnarf squealed in pain as Glenn ran up its back, his hand catching the hilt of his bone Katana. His body lurched to the side, the niblesnarf attempting to buck him off as he held on to his sword.

The sand shark roared in pain, its armour spine being separated as the blade lodged in its scaled moved slightly. "Keep working!" Sean yelled as he pulled his broadsword back, twisting the blade skyward as he approached the struggling sharks head.

As it bucked again, Glenn almost lost his grip on his blade, his feet slipping out under him as he fell on to its armour back. Sean swung his blade over head, smashing the blade into the shark's armoured head as it attempted to buck the blonde off its back.

As he flinched away, the armour on the side of its head cracking slightly, Glenn gritted his teeth, gripping his Katana tightly as he struggled to climb to his feet. Grabbing the blade with both armoured hand, the blonde pulled it to the left, separating the niblesnarfs spine further, ripping its skin and blood started to spray from it's wound.

The monster roared in pain, thrashing around as Sean looked to see its back legs tensing. "Glenn jump!" he yelled as said blonde looked down at him. His laps in concentration gave the niblesnarf its chance as it leaped into the air, Glenn and his sword being ripped free from its back as they hit the ground with a loud thud.

"What happened?" Glenn asked in a daze as he stumbled to his feet, his bloody Katana lying by his feet as he shook his head to clear his thoughts. "We pissed it off" Sean supplied, feeling the sweat already gathering under his helmet from the sun shinnying above them.

"What..." Glenn didn't get to finish as the wounded sand shark exploded out of the sand, its jaws wide open to rip the two apart. Glenn screamed diving to the ground as Sean rolled to the left, both avoiding the sand monster as he dove back into the sand.

"Come on, we got this" Sean encouraged, bringing his blade to bare as he spotted the sand shark resurfacing, its injured spine coming up like a sharks fin as it started to swim towards them. Glenn joined him, shakily holding his Katana as he watched the monster getting closer.

"Move when I say" Sean whispered, shifting on his feet as Glenn shot him a wary glance. He didn't get to say anything as the beast increased its speed, more of its body emerging from the ground as Glenn resolved to survive this.

"Now!" Sean yelled as the beast leaped into the air, its jaw stretching wide as it curved its body to chomp down on the two armoured teens. Sean leaped to the side, his blade pulled back as he let the large blade pull him into a full turn.

Glenn followed suit, leaping around the beast jaw, his eyes catching the beast's eyes, his blade already pulled back. As one both boys roared, Sean swinging his blade towards the niblesnarfs unprotected belly, the Rathian scaled blade bisecting the tough flesh, covering him in blood and guts.

Glenn's blade plunged forward, the sharp tip of the Katana slicing through the beast's unprotected eye. Blood exploded as the beast roared in pain, its body crashing into the sand, staining it with blood and flesh as Sean swept his broadsword out to the side, cleaning it of the monsters blood.

Glenn only stared at the struggling beast, his blade still impaled into its eye. Closing his eye's, Glenn pushed his blade deeper, hearing the beast squeal in pain before a loud crack echoed around them, his blade plunging deeper into its head, the tip peeking out of its upper jaw.

Sighing loudly, the green clad blonde pulled his blade out of the corpse, noticing the spider lie cracks lining the edge of the once sharp Katana. "Can we go home now?" Glenn asked as Sean chuckled, sheathing his blade as he approached the blonde.

"Sure, we can get some..." he was cut off as a loud roared echoed behind them. "Not again" Glenn whimpered, glancing behind Sean to see the large brown dragon stomping towards the two, the deadly forward facing horns, lowered into a charge.

"Run!" Sean yelled, running towards the hills as Glenn followed suit, the Diablo's in hot pursuit of the two.

"I hate you" Glenn grumbled as he sat in the infirmary of Moga village, glaring at the wounded teen beside him. "It's not my fault" Sean groaned as he looked at the cracked in his armour, Lisara and some of the villagers just finishing putting bandages on them while the blacksmith offered to repair their armour.

"Let's go hunt some Jaggi, nothing bad is going to happen" Glenn mocked, wincing as he felt the realigned rib in his chest move slightly. "How was I meant to know there would be a pack, and then a niblesnarf, and then a Diablo's...and then another one" Sean mumbled as Glenn glared at him.

"On the bright side, we got all those materials from the niblesnarf, and a Diablo's horn!" Sean tried to cheer up the wounded blonde as he just continued to glare at him. "I still hate you" Glenn grumbled as he glanced at the green armour beside his bed, the scales looking ready to fall apart, and he didn't even know how to fix them.

"Don't worry about the armour, the blacksmith has enough materials to repair it, but we aren't going to be gathering some for new armour" Sean said with a smile as he pattered his student on the shoulder.

"Please tell me we aren't going back out there" Glenn said, staring at the black haired boy in shock. "Yep! someone put a bounty on a Rathalos that took up residence in the high mountains, the one that leads to the volcano" Sean said with a smile.

"Volcano" Glenn squeaked fearfully. "Yep, Lava and molten rock, there's some ore we got to pick up and the beast tail to collect" Sean said, standing up with only a wince of pain. "So as soon as the smith repairs our shit, we're going hunting!" he said, leaving the infirmary with a goofy smile at the thought of all that Z they would make from this kill.

"I'm so dead" Glenn whimpered , the blanket of the bed over his head as Lisara walked in, giggling at the blonde antics.
