Arc Hunter

Chapter 3

(All pictures, products and if I make allusions to anime, series and games do not belong to me)

Jaune, Sophia, Marco and Flame fly towards Astera just as the wyverns drop them off at the dock. Flame jumps off Jaune's shoulder and jumps for joy. Jaune smiles at his Palico as Sophia walks towards him with one hand up. He smiles and gives her a high five as she giggles sweetly.

Sophia: Good job, partner!

Marco smiles at the two of them and pats them on the back.

Marco: Then let's report to the old man.

And with that the two follow the team field leaders to the large table.

The Huntsman watch them as Weiss shakes her head.

Weiss: Talking about your commander like that, without any respect.

Sophia: You seem to get along pretty well with the Commander, Marco.

Jaune: I noticed it too, why is that?

Marco looks behind him with a smile on his face.

Marco: That's because the old man is my grandfather.

This surprises the two a bit as Jaune looks at Marco with amusement.

Jaune: You have to tell us your story.

Marco raises an eyebrow when he hears that.

Marco: There's nothing to tell about me.

But he shrugs his shoulders.

Marco: Sure, I can tell you my life story after we talk to the old man.

Yang looks over at Weiss with a raised eyebrow.

Weiss: What?

Yang: Does it change anything that the Commander is his grandfather?

Weiss puts a hand on her chin and thinks for a few seconds.

Weiss: A little, yes, but he should still show a little more respect.

Qrow rolls his eyes and takes out his flask as he hits one, taking it out of it.

Qrow: Man, why do you Schnees have to be so stuck up?

The three finally arrive at the large table and the commander sees the small group.

Commander Newgate: Good to see you.

Marco greets him with a short wave of his hand.

Marco: Commander.

Before sitting on a box. The other two nod to the commander.

Jaune: Commander.

Sophia: Hello Commander.

Commander Newgate: Fine work taking down those Jagras. Is there anything important you can tell me?

Sophia: Well their habitat clearly hasn't changed, it seemed to me like there were really a lot of them there.

The commander places a hand on his chin and strokes it a little.

Commander Newgate: Hm... So, there's no difference in their habitat but their numbers are increasing. I see...

At that moment Marco also speaks up.

Marco: That's not the only thing. I may be stating the obvious, but the Jagras aren't the only danger lurking around these parts. We've also received reports of a Kestodon herd getting out of hand.
