"W-who are you?"
"Im a friend"
"How can I trust you?"
"You can trust me because, there is always a light in the dark"
Her eyes widened behind the mask at the utterance of the phrase only her kind should know.
"Ok, who are you?"
"You probably have not heard of me, I am the Hunter"
The Hunter!? Yes she has heard of him, the ruthless bounty hunter of the east.
"You're the Hunter?"
"Oh, so you have heard of me"
"Yes, when I did, I was so interested by the tales of your abilities. I've always wanted to meet you"
"Its nice to have fans, but that can wait. I need you to come with me"
"Why?"
"Because I have a friend that wants to meet you"
"I can't just go to Japan, I have too many things"
"Hmm, do you have a box?"
"Of course, everyone of my kind has one"
"Good, you can just put all your stuff in there, right?"
…
She wanted to kick herself, yes she could do that.
"It will take some time"
"I can wait"
XX Pierce XX
'Looks like you'll be getting a girlfriend, Doc'
[you don't know that she will like me]
'But if you two don't hook up, your kind will go extinct'
[I am not going to force her to like me]
'I didn't say you had to'
XXXX
Pierce watched the two stare at each other, Pierce was thinking about names.
Does he have to call both of them Doctor?
"I….I thought I was the last one"
"Well, I can assure you that assessment is incorrect"
Holy shit these two are awkward as fuck.
They fell silent again.
"Well, i'll let you two figure out whatever it is you're going to do, i'm going for a walk"
Pierce left his room and went downstairs, he saw Red on the couch.
She looked destroyed.
"Hey, you ok?"
No answer.
"Hello?"
"I'm not a dragon anymore…."
Yeah, that was kinda his fault.
"Does it matter that much to you?"
"I don't know who I am anymore!" she began to cry.
"Uh… listen, i'm not good at the whole cheering someone up thing, but Is there any way to get your title back?"
"The only way to do that would be to beat my mother in a fight"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, but she's too strong"
"Can you tell me where she is?"
"Are you suicidal?"
"Yes"
"I don't know where she is, there is only one person who could know"
"Ok, who is it?"
"His name is Nathanos Blightcaller, he's a bow hunter"
"Ok, that's a start"
'Hey Doc'
[im busy at the moment]
'I know, but I need info on a guy named Nathanos Blightcaller'
[...heh...ha ha ha ha ha!]
'...what's so funny?'
[oh! I thought that man was dead! I'm glad he survived, yes, i know him]

*Flash*
"Oh my god…"
What is that smell!?
It was so bad that it began to rot his clothing, he quickly summoned his armor.
This is going to suck.
XX hours of wandering later XX
Pierce watched as an ash grey skinned man with burning eyes, he was wearing a black coat over a suit of black armor. On his back, there was a black leather quiver with some strange arrows in it. Pierce saw the man taking a deep breath before taking a bow and aimed at some targets and as Pierce blinked, there was one arrow in each target.
"I don't know who you are, nor what you are… but you'd better explain yourself if you don't wish to know why I was feared with the name of the Blightcaller" said the man as he was aiming at Pierce.
"If you shoot me with that arrow you will know why I'm feared across all all of the factions"
"Is that right? That would make you The Hunter"
"Thats correct"
"Have you come here to take my head?"
"I'm here because an old friend of yours said you could help me"
"Old friend?"
"Yeah, all black clothing, white mask, wide brimmed hat, pretty creepy in general"
The man stared, then put his arrow away. "I see, come with me"
Pierce entered the house, the place looks like those old houses that were too old to even stand.
"How's he doing?"
"He's fine, he has a girlfriend now"
"He does?"
"Yeah, we found someone from his species, a girl"
"Heh, the old crow has a girl"
XXXX
"the Black dragons are the strongest dragons and their matriarch, Onyxia is feared by all the dragons since she's the daughter of the Aspect of Destruction"
"You know the Aspects?"
"No, but i've seen them. Their power kept the world in balance"
"Someone has the powers of all of them, i'm planning on kicking his ass"
The man began to laugh, a laugh that made a small chill run down his spine.
"Just beating one of them is almost impossible"
"Well, its a hobby of mine to make the impossible possible"
"Good luck, Hunter"
Pierce teleported to Sirzechs office to find Arthur in a golden suit of armor speaking to the three leaders.
"Well, am I interrupting something?"
"I was just leaving"
"You wouldn't happen to know where Vali is would you?"
"Vali is too busy to entertain your little rivalry"
"Is that right?"
"Yes, now if you excuse me, I will be on my way" the man teleported away.
"I want to thank you for saving Dulio" Micle spoke up.
"I should be thanking you, as much as it hurts to say, I think I would have died had he not jumped in"
"Well i'll be damned"
"Can it old man"
"Either way, you saved his life"
"Does anyone want to tell me what blondy was here for?"
"Arthur was here to inform us on the happenings in Youkai territory"
"They have also agreed on allowing you to work at a small restaurant with two of my subordinates"
"Why the hell would I do that?"
"Well you will be there to spy on Kel'Thusad, he usually goes there"
"Ok, why him?"
"We think he may be involved with the recent events"
"Ok, can I kill him?"
"No, not until we confirm that he is involved"
"If he's the one behind all this shit, not even you three could keep him safe from me"
The three leaders looked at each other after Pierce teleported away.

In a restaurant in the center of Kyoto, Kel'Thusad and the elf entered and sat at a table in the corner.
"Do you need something sir?" asked one of the Fallens.
"What's on the menu today?" asked Kel.
"There's Rabbit and Hot Dog" answered the Fallen.
Both the old man and the elf looked at each other before saying.
"We're fine with both"
The fallen went to give the order to Pierce.
Pierce prepared the ingredients when a cat picked something. Pierce chased it as it ran paste Kel'Thusad and the elf. When he caught the animal, he brought him back with him, threatening him. In the kitchen, he gave him something before beginning to chop the meat of the rabbit… and the cat meowed after each chop. At their table, the two individuals jumped after each chop. Eventually, the cat decided to take a nap, but Pierce accidently stepped on his tail, causing the animal to shriek… and the two customers to jump out of their skin.
"This era is horrible" whispered the elf.
This time it was a dog who entered the kitchen it was the same thing that happened with the cat.
"Let's leave" mumbled Kel'Thusad as he got up.
"An unrefined and barbaric place" added the elf before leaving.
