More plot revealed in this chapter as well. But we take a break from our favorite fluffy Captain unfortunately.

Tatsuki sighed as the frosty air blew through her hair. she looked at the large mountain range covered in snow that never seemed to end. Their mission took them all the way to Russia.
"Draco, what's our mission again?" Bowser asked, barely covered against the cold, yet showing no signs of discomfort.
"Weren't you listening? This is technically your punishment for having sex in Drawcia's office." Draco began blushing, while his partner grew furious.
"We didn't get to that, she interrupted us before I could get his pants off!" Their meister began to walk away.
"Either way, we're taking the hardest mission on the board as your punishment. There is a nest of kishin eggs in the mountains over there. The kishins are actually a pack of wolves gone feral for human souls. And let's just say, the pack keeps getting bigger." Her weapons followed her into the blinding snow. "Guys, switch to weapon form, that way we can all be warm."
"Right." Draco grabbed onto her ungloved hand, but the other was left hanging.
"Bowser, now's not the time to be stubborn." She scolded him. But the leather glove refused her hand. "Fine, be that way."
With one of her hands holding a protected by her weapon, Tatsuki began hiking up the mountains with Bowser following her. The snow storm continued to rage on. Causing their pace to slow down. The Dragon Glove meister couldn't see far past her face, eventually slipping down a slope.
"Tatsuki!" Bowser called out, Draco resuming human form wrapped his body around his meister and protected her as they rolled dangerously towards the ground. The other glove slid down the frosty slopes, attending to his meister.
"Are you guys ok?" Tatsuki got up and wiped the snow off her clothes. Draco rose up shortly and popped his back, sighing a bit at the satisfying cracks he heard.
"I'm fine." She growled. "Thanks for shielding me Draco."
"I'm always willing to protect my meister." They continued walking along the slope to hopefully find their targets. During their endurance against the blizzard, Bowser finally spoke to his meister.
"So how many eggs are in this pack?" She turned to look at him, though it was difficult to look him in the eyes in this snow.
"About 300. They also want us to investigate on how so many wolves became kishin eggs." The two gloves smiled and felt their excitement peak. This mission alone would give them more than enough kishin eggs to devour. All that would be left would be two witches' souls.
"What the hell is that?" All three marveled at what appeared to be a wall of swirling snow. The fiery haired glove ran up to the raging storm wall and touched it. At the second his finger touched the snow, a flash of light blinded them and sent Bowser flying back. Both of his partners ran to him, seeing a burn form on his arm.
"Are you ok?" He grumbled as he got up and brushed the snow off himself.
"Peachy... Any ideas how we're getting through that?" Tatsuki grabbed onto both their hands, both understanding to transform. She was glad to feel the warmth from both weapons, especially since she lost feeling in her fingers since they began this trek up the mountain. Tatsuki focused her power in her attack. Two colored flames formed on both gloves. Blue flames on Draco, Purple on Bowser. She sprinted towards the wall of snow and leaped at it. Punching with both fists at the same time, the flames colliding with the snow, causing a break in the wall.
Tatsuki somersaulted into the interior of the storm wall, finding that the inside showed no signs of the snow wonderland outside. Grass was growing, light poured in from the opening at the top.
"I think we found some link to the kishin eggs..." She walked around the strange oasis.
"Tatsuki, do you hear that?" Draco spoke out.
"No, what is it?"
"I hear... Howling, and laughing. Coming from the east." She followed the direction her weapon advised, staying alert. Eventually they found their targets in a large clearing with a large tree in the center. From the top of the tree was a jester, laughing as it juggled many human souls.
"Feeding time, puppies!" He shrieked and tossed the souls out towards the wolves. Many devoured the light blue orbs and began to glow a dark red.
"Well, that's our target. Wonder if that guy is a witch..." Tatsuki wondered as she readied herself for a long battle.
"We'll find out!" Bowser roared. The Dragon Glove meister smiled and sprinted towards the pack.
"Let's see if we can obliterate most of the pack. Soul Resonance!" The gloves began to glow bright before forming into claws. She leaped into the air and placed both her claws together, focusing her wavelength to condense in her palms. "Dragon Burst!" Tatsuki extended her palms out towards the wolves, unleashing a blue and purple beam of energy. A large amount of the kishin wolves were incinerated in a matter of seconds. Leaving several tainted souls suspended above the ground. The remainder of the pack surrounded Tatsuki on her landing. Though the wolves snarled and growled at her, they showed restraint and didn't attack.
"Tatsuki, that jester." Draco advise his meister, she looked up at the lone tree and saw a wide grin plastered on the jester. His purple eyes glaring at them.
"Hehehe, more tasty souls to feed to my puppies. Get them!" He balanced on the top if the tree with a circus ball while hoping and switching legs. He didn't show any signs of worry about the long drop.
The Dragon Glove meister began tearing through the kishin wolves that were after her soul. They seemed weak for a pack, didn't even take much of a kick to kill one either. 'This mission is way too easy... Better take a harder one tomorrow.' She thought as she let out the Dragon Burst attack again. Obliterating the last of the pack.
"No! My puppies! You'll pay for that!" The jester screeched and vanished from his treetop position. Tatsuki observed her surrounding, remaining cautious of this enemy. She could faintly hear his laughter ringing in her ear.
As he appeared before her, with strange yellow base wings and what looked like multicolor crystal feathers, he laughed as he sent thorns spraying in every direction. The thorns nicked the meister, causing small cuts all over her body, she charged him and attempted to punch his lights out, but was stopped by rumbling in the ground.
"Bye bye~" He cheered as giant thorned vines rose from the ground and surrounded Tatsuki. The jester let out his sinister guffaw and vanished away. The storm wall going along with him. After several minutes, the vines were set ablaze and began to crumble away. Tatsuki was scraped up and injured, but she seemed to tolerate the pain. Her weapons resumed human form and surveyed the area while she caught her breath.
"I think that brat is gone, and so is that wall of snow we had to get through." Bowser declared as he looked back at his meister. Draco ran up to the tree the jester stood on and noticed something at the base of it. Curled up under the shade of the tree was a small wolf puppy. It didn't appear to be a kishin, and from the peaceful look on it's face, it seemed to be asleep. Maybe unaware of the danger it just missed. Still remaining cautious, he scoped up the puppy and carried him to his partners.
"Look what I found." Tatsuki looked at the small bundle of fur wrapped in her weapon's arms.
"Is it safe?" She seemed skeptical about the wolf, having already murdered a large number of feral kishin eggs.
"Does this look like it can hurt somebody?" He held the puppy up to her face, unintentionally waking it up. The puppy opened teary light blue eyes and stared at the Dragon Glove meister.
"No, but we can't keep it... Wait, I know what to do with it." She smiled, watching as Bowser began collecting the kishin eggs, all with happiness stuck on his face.
Drake sighed as he got up from his couch to answer the door. Truth be told, he didn't want to miss what he was watching. He let Roy play some of their gane systems and was shocked to see how well he was doing on the most difficult settings. 'Can't believe how much of a gaming prodigy that kid is.'
"Hello?" He opened the door to see Tatsuki with a big smile on her face. Immediately, the Chainsaw was suspicious. "Why are you here?"
"I just came to give you and Gizmo an apology present for kicking his ass the other day. Have a puppy wolf, I killed it's parents." She put the little puppy in his hands and walked away, knowing that the last sentence would keep him in shock for a full minute. Though, she assumed that she killed it's parents, hard to tell, all the wolves looked the same.
Drake shut the door and stared at his new pet that was forced on him in a way. He took a second to study it's features. Dark fur with lighter white off the side of it's body and partly on it's muzzle. The sparkly blue eyes that stared at him with innocence, taking a second to confirm the gender, Drake began to think of boy names for the puppy.
"Hey Drake, who was at the door?" Gizmo called walking the down the stairs.
"It was Tatsuki."
"That bitch! I'm gonna kill her and shove a pitchfork up her ass and-Oh my Death, a cute puppy~!" Roy had to pause his game to hold his forehead in disappointment towards the short attention span on the one eyed meister. Gizmo yanked the wolf out of Drake's hands and began hugging it and nurturing it like if it was his child.
"She gave us this wolf puppy as an apology for the other day..." The Chainsaw trailed off, sweat dropping.
"Tell her that all is forgiven! What should we name him!" The black haired meister seemed to be too into the idea of owning a puppy.
"How about Link? Looks like him in Twilight Princess." The fox called from the couch, playing said video game.
"Link it is~" Gizmo put his new pet down and ran out the door, yelling about buying him a collar and chew toys. Sajin walked down the stairs with a deadpanned look. He looked at Drake and frowned.
"Please tell me Kanso wasn't talking about getting me chew toys..."
Ok, I have to say... I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Sajin having chew toys. So I hoped I did great again.
