Hello everyone and welcome back to HellFall!

I'm going to keep this brief because my computer is stupid and I've already had to write this intro and outro twice so I'm really, really p*ssed right now. So that mutli-paragraph, detailed review that I wrote on volume 3 at the end is freaking gone. So yeah, super brief today, sorry guys.

I made my way through the crowded seats of the tournament arena, a bag of popcorn in one hand and a bottle of grape soda in the other. The rest of the team was out attending to whatever they wanted, so I had decided to see what all the fuss was about at the Hunter's Tournament.

Unfortunately, I was having trouble finding a seat. A few rows up I saw a man sitting under an umbrella. He has a long yellow mohawk running over his otherwise bald head. It hung down to his neck as well. He wore a yellow button-up shirt with orange flowers covering it, and white shorts.

"It's not summer already, is it?" I asked, reaching him.

He turned to me and smiled, "I believe it is" He replied.

"Is this seat taken?" I asked, gesturing to the empty chair next to him.

"For now, no." He replied, then pointed to the arena, "He's going to be fighting soon, but he'll be back right after his match"

"Is this his match right now?" I asked, turning back to the arena.

"Not quite," he replied, "you can sit if you like. No worries"

"Thank you, sir" I said, sitting down.

"I'm Lleu by the way." He said, holding out his hand, "Lleu Thunder"

I shook his hand, "Octavia Strom" I replied.

"Strom?" He asked, "You wouldn't happen to be related to Hail Strom, would you?"

"Hail?" I asked, "Yes, I am. Although we haven't spoken much lately"

Lleu pointed into the arena, "She'll be fighting with my partner" He said.

"No kidding?" I asked, "So your friend's in team PHGG? Which one is he?"

"Gazini Void"

"Really?" I asked. There was that name again. Azure had met him not long ago, and it seemed that he was about to cross paths with me too. Azure would have left, but I was interested in staying, to see what he was like now.

"Yep." Lleu replied, "You know him?"

"I've heard the name," I replied, "but never met the guy. What's he like?" It didn't feel good to lie to a stranger, but I did it nonetheless. I was curious,

"Well," he started, "I don't really know how to describe him. Rude, angry, something like that? Yet still a pretty decent guy. You'll have to meet him to understand"

"I'm looking forward to it" I said.

The match ended and Lleu turned to me, "So what do you do for work?" He asked.

"I'm a huntress" I replied.

"Oh?" He asked, "Why aren't you in the arena then?"

"I've been busy with my team lately." I replied, "We don't have a heck of a lot of free time. And, I mean, best huntress in the world? That's a pretty big title. I think one's enough, you know?"

"Right," he replied, "what's your title then?"

"Some people nicknamed me the Violet Demon." I replied, "But that was mostly just in Vale, my hometown"

"So you attended Beacon I presume?" He asked.

"You are correct in presuming so" I replied, trying to sound formal to match his vocabulary, mostly as a joke.

"I see." He replied, "So you must be quite good, then"

I shrugged my head from side to side, my purple dreadlocks bouncing a little, "I guess so" I replied.

"Don't be so modest," he said, "I'm sure you're great"

"What about you?" I asked, "I see you have a pistol there. You aren't a huntsman yourself, are you?"

"Not really," he replied, "I attended Atlas academy, then joined the military afterwards"

"Are you allowed to carry your weapon with you right now then?" I asked.

"Technically I'm working," He replied, "so yes, I am allowed to"

"Sounds like a dream." I said, "Watching people beat the snot out of each other for a living"

He snickered, "This isn't my job," he said, "this is just part of it"

"What part, if you don't mind me asking?" I asked.

"It's classified, sorry"

"No worries"

Lleu drew his scroll as the next match started. I glanced over halfway through, seeing his eyes glued to the screen.

"Hey." I said. He looked up. "You researching me?"

"What?" He asked, "No, of course not. Why would you think that?"

"Your scroll is transparent." I replied, "I can see the heading 'nomeD teloiV ehT', which I know is 'The Violet Demon' backwards"

He flipped his scroll so that he could see the back, "huh" he said, flipping it back.

"So what's up?" I asked.

He hesitated, "I'm forming a taskforce," he whispered, leaning in close, "I'm looking for capable teams and individuals. That's why I'm here, to find them. If you're good enough to have a title then I assumed you were pretty good, so I just wanted to make sure"

"Well, like I said earlier, my team and I are pretty busy" I replied, remembering the decision we had already made on the matter.

"It's a shame." He said, "Oh well, I won't make you"

After that he was quiet. At least until team PHGG stepped onto the battleground.

"That's Gazini down there, with the big sword and red hair" He said, pointing.

"I see him" I said, leaning forward. I looked over the whole team. Hail appeared to be in good shape. Gyro, not so much. And Petunia hadn't grown since I last saw her. Gazini wasn't much different in appearance either.

They were matched up against a team called RWBY, who had, according to the announcer, barely made it. Lleu leaned forward and smiled, as if he were excited.

"You looking forward to this fight?" I asked.

"Oh yes" He replied.

The fight may have been visually appealing, with team RWBY throwing huge moves at PHGG while they evaded, but to a seasoned huntress such as myself it was rather one-sided. RWBY was getting their butt handed to them on a silver platter. Occasionally they got a big hit on someone, but PHGG always retaliated with big and small moves of their own. RWBY's aura was draining quickly. By the end Gyro and the whole of RWBY was out of aura, but otherwise PHGG was relatively intact.

"They're good" I said, standing to leave.

"Yeah," he replied, nodding absent-mindedly. He turned, "Hey, where're you going?"

"To see my sister" I replied.

"Alright." He said, waving, "Nice chatting with you"

"You too" I said, making my way down to the participants entrance.

I waited by the door, leaning against the wall. It took a few minutes, but eventually the door cracked open. Team PHGG walked out, Petunia and Gazini leading. Hail had her arm around Gyro's shoulder as he limped along.

"Hail?" I asked. She turned, her expression confused.

So there you have it. Still pissed as hell, not going to summarize the chapter for you 'cause you just read it.

No review, like I said, 'cause I already wrote it and my computer is a piece of sh*t that likes to ruin my freaking life and waste my bloody time.

Sorry if I'm coming off as a little rude (and if I'm more vulgar than usual) it just took a hell of a lot of time and energy to write that bloody review. Like seriously, it was at least 6 solid,paragraphs. I can't even write an essay for school that bloody long. Maybe I'll give you a review in the next chapter. Maybe. But in case you were wondering, the last episode is good, the rest is basically sh*t. That's the summary of my opinion.

As usual, favorite, follow, review, tell your friends, tell your enemies, or don't if you don't want to, and I'll see you all in the next chapter!
