In the middle of a snowy forest, walked a figure, shadowed by a long black hooded coat, along with black and red combat boots. The hood covering the face and fingerless gloves on their hands. As the figure walked through the forest, a soft crunching noise could be heard under the figure. Stepping into a clearing in the forest, that seemed too large of an area to have no trees. The figure reached down and pushed away a light layer of snow. They closed their hand and raised it to their face and opened it. What was found in said hand was unexpected. Ash.

The figure jumped back upon seeing this, just in time as well. A large ball of flames came and hit where the figure once was. Upon impact, it created an explosion engulfing the area it hit in a fire. Looking up the figure noticed someone standing up on a tree limb. This new figure wore a red puffy jacket with a fur lined hood, as well as the cuffs of the jacket. The figure, who could be easily identified as a male, had dark red hair, orange eyes, and red fox ears on his head. Black combat boots, with red decals, and blue pants on with two chains coming out of the left pocket. The male showed no indication of facial hair and seemed relatively young. The male's strong slim arms held a bow staff that was pointed out to the clearing. Assuming that this new figure was the one that launched that fireball, the shadowed figure took a defensive stance.

"Woah, woah, woah. Hey now, no need to get so defensive towards an old friend." Said the red-clad male, holding up his hands in a surrendering manner.

"..."

"Come on. You don't remember me?"

"..."

"Come on! Ash Burnside, ring a bell?"

More silence from the hooded figure.

"Well, the Boss was currently 'upset' with you for up and abandoning the cause. I was sent here to convince you to come back or…"

Before the sentence could be finished, a shot brushed passed his cheek, making a small cut on it.

"Or kicking your ass and dragging you back!" He yelled as he launched another fireball from...his bow staff.

The fireball launched came in quite quick. Barely dodging it, the hooded figure ran along the treeline and dodged another few fireballs.

"Why don't you hold still and just die!" Yelled the hot head boy as he fired more fireballs.

After a few annoying minutes for the fire user. He grew tired of using up a lot of energy trying to hit the hooded figure. The said figure was also getting tired from constant running.

At this point, it was going to be a battle of stamina. That was until Ash broke down his staff into a bolt action rifle. The first fired was filled with fire Dust in it so upon impact, you could have guessed what would happen, the shot exploded next to the hooded figure.

The explosion caught the figures large other coat. The flames burnt off part of the coat and thus the figure throw off its coat. Revealing underneath was...a girl?
