Chapter 1

(Welcome To The Pack)

"I can't believe this place doesn't have a magic shop." Said a young teen, she was walking through the streets of Foxglove, a small town which had a train station that wasn't going to leave for another two hours. So the girl had to find some way to kill time.

"There is nothing to do in this town to kill time!" She yelled as she rubbed the top of her head, which got the attention of a few nearby people, not like she cared what people thought of her. She stopped for a moment to look at herself in a nearby window as she could fix her hair. She was around five foot six inches tall which was a good height to her, not to tell not too small. She wore a simple outfit, just a red hooded vest with a white t-shirt underneath what said 'Live For You' on it. Simple gray shorts that reached just a bit above her knees and her L-Pod slightly sticking out her pocket with the headphones around her neck. She slowly ran her hand along her long red hair trying to fix it, she didn't mess up either one of her twin tails. She slowly lowered her gaze to look at her own purple eyes as she sighed slowly. "I wish this train would hurry up so I can check the place out."

The girl made her way down the street with no real goal in mind, there were a few shops but none that sold anything she was looking for, there wasn't anything in this town for her to do, and she didn't want to sit around bring bored.

"What a pretty young thing." She heard a voice say from down a small side alley. This got the girls attention real fast, not only did it sound like a thug, but it was quickly followed by laughter from other voices, which means only one thing, Fun.

The redhead poked her head slightly into the alleys opening and she could see about three bigger men all looking the thug type, pompadour; check. Tattoos, check, sunglasses in a dark alley, check. A poor innocent woman? The girl looked closely to see a girl who looked slightly older than her in the middle of the group, trying her best to get away. From the clothes the poor girl was wearing, the red head guessed she worked at the bar that was nearby, a sucky shortcut to work.

"Let go of me!" The girl yelled as she pulled her hand away from the bigger man. "Oh come on don't be that way, me and my boys just want to hang out."

"Well, I don't think she wants to hang out with you." The three thugs turned to see the short redhead girl now at the end of the alley standing with her hands on her hips. "So how about you three blow off."

The guys stared at her for a moment before they started to laugh their little heads off, this caused the girl to roll her eyes, this wouldn't be the first time she was underestimated by some stupid people. Her clothes started to glow as they kept on laughing but the laughing soon stopped as a loud bang noise rung out through the alley, the thugs opened their eyes and was met with the sight of the redheaded girl wearing a White Gi with a black belt with one of their friends head slightly stuck in a dumpster, and the young lady they were bothering was now behind her.

"Go ahead keep laughing."

"Bitch!" The one thug yelled as he pulled a pistol out which he lost quickly as the redhead kicked it from his hand, before the man could react the foot came back kicking him across his face sending the man to his side only for the same foot to catch him, bringing him to his opposite side right into the ground. The last thug stood there as he just witnessed his friend being taken down by this short chick, and decides the best action would be to "Don't run." The redhead said as she slowly rose back to her feet looking at the man.

The man didn't heed the warning as he took off into the other exit of the alley as quickly as he could, but he didn't make it far as a bong rang out and something hit him right in his back sending him flying forward right to the ground.

"I told you not to run." The girl said as she cocked her shotgun, her whole outfit was different now, as she was now in gray cargo pants with a tight fitting Tank Top that showed off all her assists and combat boots. She turned to the lady with quickly gripped her hands and started to shake them.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." The lady said over and over as the redhead looked at her oddly.

"Y-You're welcome." She managed to get out over the thanking. "It was no big deal."

"No big deal!" The woman exclaimed with a gasp. "Please follow me, are you hungry? Thirsty? I must pay you back." The redheaded girl couldn't but let the woman pulled her away until they soon reached the nearby club.

(And Then)

"This should be a simple mission, Skoll." A redheaded teen said as he hopped off the train. He was looking up at a small yellow pup that laid on top his head as it slept up there. The pup looked a bit odd with its bright yellow fur as if it was glowing. "and if we are fast enough we should be able to catch the train back home."

The boy started to make his out the station and down the road heading to the town's hall, to speak the mayor. He looked at the town with his apple green eyes, taking in all the sights, there wasn't much not like that he mind. It's a nice little peaceful town.

He soon reached the town's hall and made his way inside and was quickly greeted with a "Hello, how may I help you?"

The boy looked at the female who called out to him, she was a blond haired woman wearing business attire as she was seated behind a desk.

"Hello, I'm here about your gang problem."

"Oh, you must be the mage who took our mission." The woman said as she got up from her seat. "Please follow me to meet the mayor."

The teen smiled at her as he followed her to a large set of doors. The woman opened it and walked in with the young redhead and he was met with the Mayor walking right up to him.

"You're the mage here to help us?" The older man said and the teen could only nod. "Oh thank goodness, we've been having trouble with this local gang, normally they wouldn't be a problem for our local guards, but ever since they got a new leader they have been running amuck."

"Don't worry Mr. Mayor, You got a Wolves Pride mage backing you now." The young said backed with a small smile. "Now just point me the right way, and I'll take care of the rest."

(Elsewhere)

The laughter could be heard from outside the warehouse, if you entered you would see that it was filled with like thirty, all laughing at the three who had bruises on them.

"You three couldn't take down a little girl?" One of the thugs laughed.

"Shut it! The chick was a mage, she had this freaky power where she changed her clothes." One of the beaten three explained, which only caused the others to laugh more.

"Oh no, my dress turned into a skirt!" One of the bigger thugs roared out laughing.

As the laughing kept raging on no one noticed as someone entered the warehouse, not until a loud roar rang out throughout the building got everyone's attention, they turned to see a man on a motorbike, he was wearing a leather vest showing off his abs. His legs were covered by a pair of blue jeans that covered his black boots slightly. He was taller than most of the thugs in the room, his jet black hair was dripping down in front of his black eyes. On his hands, he had a few different rings.

"… What's so funny boys?" The man said as he looked around the room. He leaned forward slightly on his heavy bike, it seemed liked no one dared to answer him. "Oh, I guess I've gone mute. Hello, can anyone hear me?"

"Y-yes sir." One of the guys said.

"Oh, then why did no one answer me, Huh?!" The man yelled as he stood from his bike leaving it, the bike didn't even move once he got off, it didn't even have a kickstand, it just sat still. He started to walk over to the thugs and they all backed up slightly. "Well!?"

"Sorry, Sir. I- I don't know."

"Oh, you don't know, so it just so happened that I walked in when all of you forgot how to talk! Maybe I should play the lottery because I'm a super lucky man." He looked at everyone in the room once more. "Now I'm gonna ask one more time! Whats. So. Funny?"

"Mike and the boys got beat up by some chick." One of the other guys spoke up, as everyone parted to reveal Mike and the boys. The bigger man looked at them for a bit before walking over to them.

"Who did this?" He asked.

"Some mage chick, Boss." He answered. "She had this power where she changed her clothes."

"Really… Where is she now?" He asked as he walked back over to his bike.

"W-we don't know, She helped that chick who works at the Bar, Moxie's."

The roar of his engine was heard as he revved his bike hard.

"Get dressed boys!" He ordered as he turned his bike to face the door. "we're going to get a drink!"

All the thugs smiled and cheered as they picked up weapons littered around the place, as the revving of his engine got louder and louder.

(And then)

"So, Scarlet, Tell us more about you travels." The Bartender asked the young redhead as she took another bite of her fries.

"Not really much more, I'm just trying to get to Jasper Town so I can get into the guild my Father grew up in." The redhead known as Scarlet explained followed by taking a sip of her drink.

"Jasper Town, that's only a train ride away from here." The waitress from before said.

"Yeah but it's not leaving for another hour." Scarlet give a heavy sigh.

"Well, you can hang out here until your train is ready." The waitress said, before turning to the bartender. "Right Mr. Moxie?"

"Right, right. Anyone willing to help out my people are friends to me."

Scarlet give a small smile as she looked at Mr. Moxie. "Thanks, I was really going to lose it if I had nothing to do but kick rocks."

Scarlet turned to the Waitress before asking "So, Beth, what was with those jerks anyway?"

The waitress, Beth, cheeks started to puff up before she spoke. "There just a bunch of jerks who think that can do whatever they want!"

"The mayor said he has put out a request for someone to help, but no one has come yet." Moxie said. "I hear it was only a Rank C request, so other mages probably overlook it."

"Scarlet, you can do it right! You're a mage." Beth exclaimed with hope filled eyes.

"I could try but I don't really have any details, or a guild backing me," Scarlet explained to the sad woman. "So I'm not sure if I'm allowed to help."

Suddenly a loud roar was heard outside which got everyone's attention, after a few moments of nothing footsteps could be heard walking towards the bar, followed by the sound of the front door being kicked up. The tall man walked into the bar followed by his lackeys, so many were packing into the small bar, luckily the bar didn't have too many costumers.

"That's her, Boss, the short redhead." One of the guys yelled as their boss looked down at Scarlet, He was pretty much a whole foot taller than her.

"So you're the one who beat on my boys." He said as he cracked his neck.

"What are you, their mom?"

The boss started to chuckle at the little smart ass as he started to walk closer to the counter. "Nope, Little Lady, The names Boss Hog. You see, I'm the boss of this gang here and soon to be the whole town."

Scarlet was looking around the room, she already knew she was outnumbered but now she was taking in how many people there really was. She kept a calm expression on her face as she looked at Boss Hog.

"So what do you want? Payback?" She asked even though she already knew the answer.

"Nah, little Missy." Boss Hog answered as he held up his pointer finger, requesting a drink. Mr. Moxie, who was still a bit shaken by the number of the thugs in his bar, noticed and got him a drink. "I've come to see if you'd care to join me and my boys."

"Trying to pick up a girl for your sausage fest, are you?" Scarlet smirked slightly. "Imma say no, I don't really want to break up the mode you have going on here."

The two looked at each other for a long moment, much longer than it needed to be, the boys glared at the girl as Mr. Moxie and the workers looked at her in shock. Soon the silence was broken as the two broke out laughing, Hogs hand was pounding on the counter as Scarlet had her head facing down as she laughed.

"You're funny! You are funny." Boss Hog said as he stood up and downed his drink is a quick go, he dropped some jewels on the table before walking back over to his boys. "Kill her."

The thugs made a dash for Scarlet who quickly started to glow a bit yellow, but that didn't stop the thugs as one swung his bat at her as hard as he could, but he was met with a red boxing glove straight in the face sending him stumbling back to the floor. The thugs looked at the girl, her clothes changed to a tight fitting red sports bra with a short red skirt and black shorts under it. Her hands were up in a guard as she glared at them with menacing eyes.

"… Get her." Hog said simply to his boys, who all looked at each other for a moment. "Before I get all of you." and with that, all of the boys started to rush at the redhead. Scarlet was quick to start punching and blocking every attack she saw coming. Dodging pipes, ducking chains, punching guards left and right, the place turned into a mash pit as the thugs tried their hardest to reach the girl, her saving grace was the fact that they were in a small space so the all couldn't reach her at once, but that didn't change that she was surround. She felt something hit her hand on her left side causing her to stagger slightly, but she was quick to block the punch one thug threw at her in her momentary of weakness. Her breathing was getting heavier, it started to become hard to breathe with all these people around her and fending them all off. Something got her eye and she was quick to turn and see a man swinging a bat down at her crown, she was quick to block up but soon noticed another man swing at her waist with a bent pipe.

"Shit!" Was the only thing at came to her mind, she could only brace herself for the hit which caused her to close her eyes, only it never came and she heard a heavy thud. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed a bright yellow wolf in front of her attacking one of the man's arms. She looked around and saw a lot of bright yellow wolves have filled the room.

"forty to one doesn't seem fair." A new voice said as the room turned to see a redheaded boy with apple green eyes riding on a big yellow wolf who was growling. He had on a gray pullover shirt with a green button up over top unbuttoned, he has on black jeans with black and green sneakers. "How but we even these odds."

"Great, now who are you brat?" Boss Hog said from the chair he was sitting.

"The names Jean Pryde, And I'm a Wolves Pride Mage!" Jean explained as he rolled up his sleeve revealing his Guild Mark on the left shoulder. "I'm also the guy who's going to beat you."

"… Uh-huh..." Hog said as he looked around the room looking at his men as they stood there, he held his hand out lazily before saying "Get them."

One of the men yelled a cry for battle but was quickly attacked by one of the wolves, now he was just crying, and with that, the battle broke out again with Scarlet and Jean attacking the boys with the help of Jean's Wolves. Boss Hog could only sigh as he saw the tide wasn't in his favor. He put his fingers to his lips and rung out a loud whistle, the sound of an engine roaring before his bike broken into the building riding up to him. He quickly hopped onto his bike before he looked over to his Boys and give them a two finger salute.

"Sorry boys, but I'm not going to jail." And with that Hog took off like a bat out of hell.

"Hey!" Jean yelled out. He quickly turned to his Wolves. "You all stay here and finish this up, I'm going after him. Skoll!" The huge wolf jumped in front of the redhead and he quickly jumped onto it's back, but then Jean felt something else get onto his wolf. He turned to see the redheaded girl.

"I'm not letting you go alone, He started with me, so he's mine." She explained to him. "Alright, Skoll, after him!"

The wolf then took off at great speeds, quicker than Scarlet would've guessed causing her to grab onto Jean to stop her from falling off. The wolf was taking a lot of twist and turns, but she didn't see the jerk anywhere in sight, she wondered if they knew where they were going.

"Hang on!" She heard the boy yell, kind of too late she was already holding on, but now she was holding him tighter as she felt gravity pulling on her back and she was facing towards the sky, the wolf was running up a house. "I wanna get off!"

"Too late for that."

The Yellow wolf, Skoll, was not running on the rooftops, jumping from roof to roof. He was starting to catch up to the sound of the bike. After a few more rooftop jumps, Jean was able to see the guy under them, Scarlet also noticed and she started to glow, and soon stopped.

"Ooh, Re-quip Magic?" Jean asked the girl.

"Something like that," Scarlet answered the boy as she cocked her shotgun and took aim.

"Think you can make the shot?"

Scarlet smiled slightly. "Can I?"

"… Can yo-" "Yes!"

She fired the shot and it hit Hog right in his side, knocking him right off the bike. Skoll jumped down and the two teens hopped off his back. Boss Hog was holding onto his side groaning in pain as he slightly rolled on the ground.

"I swore he was going to be able to take that," Scarlet said as she looked down at him, Jean looked down two and noticed something on his hand. He reached down and slide the ring off his finger and Hog started to get wavy for a moment. Scarlet looked at the man before them as he went from big and tough looking to this skinny guy who looked like the wind would knock him over.

"Illegal Illusion Magic Ring," Jean explained. "Real self-explanatory."

"So he wasn't even a tough guy, he was just a guy he looked tough."

"Explains why he didn't fight I guess," Jean said then he looked around to see people all coming over to witness what has happened, as well as the guards. "Well, that's a job well done, right Skoll." The huge Wolf poofed disappears into thin air. "… Not really an answer but whatever."

(Than This)

"So, you want me to take you to my guild hall?" Jean asked the redhead girl who he just learned was named Scarlet.

"Yes."

"… Okay, I see nothing wrong with that."

The two teens were standing in the train station, the train to Jasper town would be departing real soon.

"You did help me take down the Rough Boys, even if I did have to give up most of the reward to help fix the bar and the roofs. I didn't even cause half that damage." He gives a small sigh but it didn't really hurt him too much. "Let's go catch our train."

"Yeah," Scarlet said as the two took off to their train, but something wasn't really sitting right with her, something in the back of her mind like she was forgetting something.

The two hopped on the train and both sat across from each other and within a few moments, their train departed for Jasper town.

"So, Tell me about your guild, is it nice?" The redheaded girl asked, her purple eyes looked into his green eyes.

"Is it ever, we are pretty much one big pack, a Family." He said with a huge grin on his face.

"… A family sounds nice."

(To Be Continued)

Hello, Everyone, It is I, Dark Hyena. I have returned from my long sleep and I have come back stronger than before. Now I know you are all wondering why to reboot my story and to answer that, I love this story a lot, but the first one I did, I feel like I didn't try hard enough and I was all over the place. I've put myself into corners and holes. So I'm redoing it, and this time it will be better. Imma keep a lot of the old characters but I will be in the need for some new ones.

Now as much as I wish to tell you how all is staying, I kind of want it to be a surprise, but I can tell you only a few characters was cut and I feel really bad for it, I liked every one of those characters it's just some didn't mix well with these characters and would be better for a different one.

Also, I am looking for a few new OCs but not too many, that was one of my downfalls before, I took more than I could handle, so I now got the perfect number in mind and I'm going to stick to it. If you need the form it's on my Profile near the bottom.

I can't wait to see you all again and I hope a lot of my old readers return to see this new story for their characters, also if you wish for me not to use your character just tell and I won't but please make it fast. Sorry Princessatj, I kind of forgot to give you this warning first, Forgive me, I'm just a big fan of Scarlet!
