Opening his eyes under water, Glenn was surprised to find that he could actually see through his helmet, instead of just having blurry images in front of him. Beside him, Sean swam deeper, catching up with Junko who was forcing some of the sharks to leave her alone through extreme prejudice.

Those sharks will be traumatise for years.

Sheathing his blade, Glenn started to swim up behind the pinkette, trying not to look under her skirt as she started to swim after Sean.

He wasn't faring very well.

Shaking his head, Glenn focused on Sean, the bone armoured teen pointing towards the large cave entrance at the end of the lake. Turning towards the cave, Glenn caught sight of a blue tail slipping around the corner, disappearing into the cave.

Junko was already swimming forward, her sniper loaded and ready as Sean swam beside her. With a sigh, Glenn glanced at his wounded leg, the blood stain leaking through the bandage. He could only wonder if he could even survive long enough to kill the sea monster.

Shaking himself back to the task at hand, Glenn swam forward moving to catch up with the other two hunters as they reached the entrance of the cave. Coming to a stop Sean turned to Glenn, making a few hand signs as Junko nodded to the bone armoured teen.

Glenn only shrugged, unable to even figure out what any of that meant as Sean lowered his head slightly. Shaking his head Sean just pointed to the cave and then back to Glenn. "You want me to go first!" Glenn gargled out as Sean nodded to him.

Sighing again, Glenn swam past Junko, the pinkette drawing her sniper as she moved to follow Glenn inside. Why was he going first anyway? Behind him, Sean followed, his hand grasping the handle of his blade as he watched for any sign of the Lagiacrus.

As soon as the two boys were a few feet into the cave, a thunderous roar exploded beside them, sending both of them tumble through the water. The Lagiacrus lunged through the water, its tail propelling itself forward as its jaw snapped down on Sean.

In the confusion, Sean drew his blade, his eyes widening as the sea monster clamped down on his sword, ripping free from his grasp as one of the spikes on the back of the blade sliced the inside of his upper jaw open.

Shaking its head, the beast snapped its head towards the bone armoured teen, coiling its body before it shot forward. Its shoulder crashed into Sean, sending the teen crashing into the cave well, his back rebounding off the cave wall as the back of his chest plate cracked.

As it prepared to shoulder barge the teen again, a sharp pain shot through its spine, its head snapping to the side to see Glenn stabbing the tip of his Katana in between its spiked scales. Glenn's green scaled helmet turned to the leviathan classed beast, twisting his Katana as the tip dug deeper into its flesh.

With a roar the beast thrashed upwards, its body colliding with Glenn's wounded leg as the blonde screamed in agony as a spike sliced through the bandages, ripping the wound open again. As the blade ripped form from its back, the Lagiacrus turned towards the blonde, its right claw sweeping through the water as it battled the injured hunter away.

But before it could press its advantage on either wounded teen, two booms resounded through the water, large sniper rounds slamming into the beast side, forcing it away from both teens as Junko reloaded for another shot.

With a snarl, the Lagiacrus coiled its body backwards, lightning sparking around its form before it lunged towards the stationary girl. The pinkette didn't move as she fired off another around, the sniper bullet cracking the armoured top jaw of the beats, but it did nothing to halt its charge.

As she prepared to avoid the beats lung, Junko was violently pushed out of the water, her eyes widening as Glenn got the full brunt of the monster charge, his body dropping through the water like a rock as the Lagiacrus shook its head in pain, not expecting to meet the hardened scales of a Rathian on one of the hunters.

Turning to glare at the beats, Junko loaded another round into her sniper, adjusting her aim as she fired. The bullet exploded just under the beast right eye, making it roar in pain as it swam backwards, attempting to get away form the pain.

"Come back here!" Junko roared, firing another round towards the retreating beast. Another explosive round cracking the scales along its neck, followed by a piercing round that sliced through the exposed flesh.

As the beast retreated further into the cave, Sean sat, holding onto the large rock in the middle of the cave, watching as the beats grew closer, his blade held tightly in his free hand. As the piercing round fired, Sean leaped from his position, his blade pulled over head as he came down on the beast below him.

With the water slowing him down, Sean swung his blade, the sharpened edge digging into the monster scales, caving them in on its flesh as he pushed his blade to rip deeper into the beast flesh.

As Sean took care of the beast, Junko sheathed her sniper, looking franticly for the blonde that had saved her. "Oh god, oh god, what if he's dead, what if he's died!" she yelled, unable to find the green clad teen in the murky cave water.

A few stray bubbles caught her attention to her eyes snapped downwards. She body already moving to find Glenn as Sean distracted the beast.

Down below, the darkness of the cave keeping move of the light from letting him see what was going on was Glenn. His leg ached in pain as he watched his blood freely flowing through the water in front of him.

If it wasn't for the pain, Glenn would be wondering why he felt like he was laying on some fluffy animal instead of the cold rocky cave floor. Grunting to himself, Glenn shifted further up the furry patch of land, a few bubbles heading towards the surface form something close by.

Holding his wound as best he could, Glenn narrowed his eyes through the darkness, catching sight of a large spike jetting out in front of him, curling upwards as it lead to something just beyond the path of fur.

Moving further again, Glenn looked to see the spike connected to some kind of greeny yellow rock, upwards facing spikes lining it as another spikes was attached to the opposite side of the rock, facing down instead of up.

Moving forward again, Glenn watched as the bubbles started to leak form between the gape in the smaller spikes, his eyebrow raising in confusion as he wondered what was causing this strange coloured rock to make bubbles.

His attention was torn away from the strange rock as something swam up to him. Suddenly he was tackled to the furry ground, something wrapping their limbs around them as he found himself trapped between the thing and the furry ground.

He was only saved from freaking out as he spotted a familiar head of pink hair and two azure blue cat ears on top. Junko raised her head, looking at the blonde with a captiving smile as she started to speak with a relived smile.

Only for Glenn to be unable to understand her words because they were under water.

Its not like it was important or anything.

right?

Junko then pointed towards the lighter part of the cave, Glenn narrowing his eyes skyward as he saw what might have been the Lagiacrus and Sean dancing around each other, a sudden explosion of lighting almost catching the bone armoured teen.

Turning back at Junko, Glenn nodded, pushing off his good leg as he started to swim towards the fight.

Unknown to both of them, a trail of blood fell between the gapes in the tiny spikes, the strange coloured rock shifting as a glowing yellow eyes opened under the spikes.

Sean dove under the Lagiacrus's swing, just avoiding its fin like claw as his blade tore through the water, slicing up its exposed chest as he recoiled in pain. With a roar, the sea monster unleashed a storm of sparks, Sean's body burning as his nerves were shot to hell.

Growling, the bone armoured teen forced his body to move, painfully diving deeper through the water as the beats lunged over his head, missing him as it turned to him with a heated glare. Before it could lung towards his barely moving body, two sniper bullets exploded across its side, ripping through its scales as the beats roared in agony.

Another bullet flew, going straight through its left leg as the beast moved away from Sean. Turning his head, Sean looked to see both Glenn and Junko swimming towards him, Junko heading to help him as Glenn surged towards the thrashing beast.

Ripping his blade free from its sheathed, Glenn sliced through the beast slice, easily tarring into its flesh as the cracked scales gave no resistant to his blade. Pulling his blade back, Glenn twisted the bladed edge upwards, swinging the blade back through the new wound, cutting deeper into the monsters side.

With a watery snarl, the Lagiacrus snapped its head towards the blonde, a condensed ball of sparks ripped from its jaw, exploding against Glenn's side. Tumbling through the cave water, Glenn swore as his wounded leg burned in pain, his mind just focusing on the Lagiacrus as he adjusted itself to face him again.

As it lunged forward, a sniper pullet flew over its back, missing it as the beast collided with the blonde, its jaw clamping down on his injured leg. A gargle escaped him as he cried out in pain, his blade just barely held in his hands as he felt the jagged teeth ripping into his flesh.

Sean didn't think as his body returned to his control, lunging forward as he swung his huge blade down on the beast's neck. The armoured scales gave away, letting the large blade rip into the soft flesh as the Lagiacrus cried out in pain, releasing Glenn as the blonde pushed himself backwards, his blood tainting the water around him.

Three sniper bullets prevented the sea monster from snapping at Sean, giving the teen enough time to dig his blade deeper into the beasts flesh, blood flowing from its wound and tainting the cave water.

Glenn shook his head, turning back towards the beast as it coiled its body, its tail throwing Sean away from it as it's whipped its head towards the opposite side of the cave. Another sniper bullet impacted against its broken scales ripping into it as it lunged forward, heading towards the cave exit, crashing into the cave floor as it could not control its body correctly.

Gritting his teeth in pain, Glenn looked to see Sean sheathing his blade, Junko swimming towards him with a worried expression on her face. Pointing towards the cave, Glenn made the pinkette pause as she narrowed her eyes towards his heavily wounded leg.

Glenn only shook his head, pushing himself through the water towards the cave the beats escaped through. They were so close now, and he was going to see it through. Sean only sighed as he followed the blonde, Junko reluctantly following after them as she glared at Glenn's back.

Unknown to the three, a pair of glowing eyes watching them leaving, something large swimming upwards, a fanged jaw opening, breathing in the red liquid that Glenn had left behind. The eyes glowed brighter, turning its attention towards the blood trail leading towards the green clad human.

It's under fur bristled in delight at the thought of such a meal so close to its nesting den.

Reaching the next cave, Glenn struggled to keep himself from falling over as Junko helped him stand. Sean could hear the beast whimpers just ahead of them, the sight of its blue tail coiling around itself as it dug itself into a nest of sorts.

Looking back at the two, Sean frowned at the blondes injuries, his leg now covered in blood as the bandaged was damaged from the beasts bite. "Let's hurry" he spoke, unsheathing his blade as Glenn lightly pushed away from Junko, the girl giving him a glare as his readjusted her sniper and loaded a new set of bullets into it.

Grabbing his own blade, Glenn readied himself as Sean nodded to the two of them. Both boys rushed around the corner, the Lagiacrus snapping his head towards the entrance, a roar ripping form its throat.

As it turned to face them, its head snapped backwards, an explosive bullet colliding with its cracked nose as pain raced through its nerves. Sean was already within striking distance of the beast, his body lunging forward as he swung his blade over head.

The tip only just cut into the beast wounded neck before the sea monster backed away, its head coming down and head butting the bone armoured teen into the ground. Stepping backwards, the Lagiacrus started to gather sparks in its throat as Sean shook off his daze.

Two bullets exploded on its left shoulder, shattering the scaled and breaking its bones as the monster roared in agony. With a snarl, the Lagiacrus snapped its head towards the entrance, letting loose the condensed ball of sparks towards Junko.

As it tried to fire another at the girl, Glenn pushed forward on his good leg, his blade stabbing into the beast's unprotected chest, easily slicing through its flesh and piercing something important. With a roar the Lagiacrus twisted, its tail colliding with Glenn as the green scaled blonde was sent flying across the small cavern.

Sean sent a glance to see Glenn landing on the ground, a sickening cracking echoing form him as the bone armoured teen turned back towards he wounded beast. Glenn's Katana was still, lodged in its chest, its one good arm and leg working to keep itself from falling over.

Without thinking, Sean surged forward, his blade twisted so the flat side of the blade was swinging towards the beast. Before the leviathan class monster could snap at him, his bade slammed into the handle of Glenn's Katana, sending it deeper into the beast chest as more of its organs were sliced to pieces.

With a roar, the beats toppled over, landing on its side as it thrashed around in agony, unable to rip the Katana out of its chest as the blade tore more of its innards apart. Sean didn't pause as he lifted his blade above his head, the large sword coming down on the beats throat.

Glenn slowly looked up from his prone position, watching as Sean's blade cut through the beats throat, large amounts of blood flowing from the wound as the beast died choking on its own blood. Wincing as he felt his shoulder move awkwardly, Glenn glanced to see that his limb was hanging limply at his side.

"It's dislocated" Junko's voice spoke as she approached the injured blonde. "What do we do then?" he asked, as Junko rolled her eyes. "Hold this...this'll hurt...a lot" she explained a she grabbed him before he could protest.

With a snap, the pinkette lodged his shoulder back into place, the blonde letting out a scream of pain as his bones were readjusted into place. "Oh it wasn't that bad" Junko said with a smile as Sean approached them, looking on in amusement at Junko's antic towards his student.

"Need a hand?" he asked, holding his armoured hand out to Glenn. The blonde only gingerly excepted the help, wincing as he put too much weight on his bad leg. "We really need to get back to the village, Lisara will be able to handle your wounds better than we can" Sean explained as Junko scuffed.

"I can do anything mortal!" he boasted as Sean gave her a dry look in return. "Anyway, what about that?" Glenn questioned pointing towards the new dead corpse of the sea monster that had just about killed him.

"We can haven the villagers retrieve the corpse for materials, it have enough scales to make a set of armour and maybe a sword" Sean mused as he glanced down at the Katana in his free hand. "I think I need a new one" Glenn replied as he looked at the blade in Sean's hand.

The top half was cracked off, spider like cracks running down the blade as the spiked guarded was shattered to pieces. "You can say that again, such a blade now destroyed, it's so sad" Junko muttered in depression.

Glenn just gave her a strange look as Sean sheathed the broken blade on his back. "Let's get back" Sean mumbled as Junko walked on ahead, still strangely depressed about Glenn's sword. As they left the cave, heading towards the docks, the large seam monster watched them leave, grinning to itself as it turned towards its own exit.

It would have its meal, and since it killed that leviathan, it only made the meal even more savouring to it.

Its actions didn't go unnoticed by the little green shakalaka that was exploring the area, its eyes widening behind its acorn like mask as it watched the legendary sea monster swimming away from the caves.

"Cha-cha need to warn everyone!" his gargled voice screamed as he started swimming away from the monstrous myth that disappeared in search of its meal.
