Chapter Text
Sounds of metal striking metal can be heard in the forest as a black cat with green eyes in brown clothes welding a spear and wearing bangles is fighting against a grey wolf with a eyepatch and a yellowish eye in a worn and ragged clothes holding a scimitar and both were panting.
The wolf spoke "for a furball you are very stubborn tell me your name... mines Greymane" the cat slowly replied "...Mao Mao" while panting as they charge back into action to resume fighting.
A dark figure lurks within the trees and as greymane jumps back the dark figure quickly charges towards mao mao dagger glinting in hand and mao mao quickly block the strike with his bangles and punch the figure in the stomach causing the figure to drop the dagger and dropped on its knees revealing a brown rat with scarlet eyes also wearing the clothes simiar to greymane.
As mao mao is about to punch the rat a looming shadow behind mao mao caused him to roll out of the way as a loud sound of metal hitting the ground can be heard from behind him than the rat threw a smoke bomb at mao mao causing him to cough up smoke and temporally blinding him.
As the smoke cleared mao mao searched for the wolf and rat but they were gone this angered him and caused him to throw the spear down onto ground, than when the adrenaline fades fatigue catches up to him causing him to kneel down holding on to his spear for support panting before weakly said "cowards".
Elsewhere a white badger with a cybernetic arm and a eyepatch is shooting energy beams at a orangutan with a snake combined wearing armor while holding a energy battleaxe, the badger yelled "Orangusnake! quit trying to steal the ruby crystal heart!".
Orangusnake retorts "or what? You big white furball!" further away is a small blue bat with yellow heart and eyes and a pedleg who is swiftly throwing smoke bombs and dodging around a ostrich with bright yellow eyes wearing a bowler hat and a small orange rat with light green eyes.
The bat yelled "Badgerclops! Watch out" as a long metallic neck giraffe with white eyes charges towards badgerclops, right before the giraffe reach him a small fast orange blur tackles the giraffe in the stomach taking down the giraffe
Orangusnake yelled "Ramaraffe!" As the orange blur continues to tackle both the rat and the ostrich knocking them down as well, and orangusnake yelled "ratarang! Bosss ostrich!" After he looked to see his entire crew down he yelled "retreat!".
Before he had the chance he was tackled to the ground and was unconscious, as the blur slowed down to stop completely it revealed a orange dog panting happily, as the bat flown down and said "good job bao bao" and badgerclops said "adorabat help me lock them up in the dungeon" and adorabat happily replied "ok!".
In the forest a dark figure emerged out of a bush whispered "dang lost my bounty although that cat is quite cute and easy to tease hehehe", further away in the forest greymane said to his partner angrily "Rose why did we run we had him cornered!".
Rose softly replied "i sense the bounty hunter close by and 2 on 2 isn't a good idea", greymane was startled with wide eyes and frantically search the area while whispering with fear in his eyes "was it The Tanya Keys the legendary bounty hunter" and rose calmly replied "yes", than absolute silence with fear still in his eyes he whispered "lets get out of this forest" and rose nodded, than they quickly yet quietly left the forest.
Deep in the forest a small campsite was spotted with the campfire burning bright in the night as mao mao sharpening his spear while deep in his thoughts "its been 13 years since i last seen my family", than he stopped sharpening his spear and stare into the fire with sadness in his eyes "maybe i should not have vanish like that without telling them but i regret not telling her the most".
Lost in his thoughts he didn't hear soft footsteps coming towards him and a shadowy figure loomed behind him, still unaware while in his deep thoughts the figure slowly got closer to his ear and whispered "boo", caught off guard he tripped and struggled to stand while trying to hold his spear as for the figure who was laughing out loudly.
After he got up he quickly entered one of his sisters stance, as the figure walked out of the shadows revealng a pinkish-red tanuki with light blue eyes wearing a light green bandana backwards as he was waiting for the tanuki to stop laughing.
After a short while the tanuki stopped laughing than the tanuki spoke "sorry there cutie~ but you were so easy that i don't even have to use by secret techique to scare you", cautiously mao mao only replied with "who are you?" And the tanuki reply "names tanya keys a pleasure to meet you cutie~".
Than silence slowly mao mao's eyes widen and he quickly reply "y-you mean your The Tanya Keys the most legendary bounty hunter in the entire world!", she was happy that he knows who she is than replied "im honoured that you know me so well cutie~".
After mao mao lowered his spear only to later realise how awkward it is, with just the two of them standing staring at each other than tanya spoke seductively "like what you see~", mao mao's face turned red and quickly replied "n-no!".
Tanya replied "your face says otherwise" and mao mao quickly shook his head, tanya spoke again "as much as i enjoy calling you cutie~ whats your name kitten~" mao mao suddenly realise she was calling him cute he quickly shouted angrily "i-i am not cute!".
Before speaking again more calmly "and my names mao mao", tanya hummed before replying "nah im just gonna call you mittens~" mao mao sputtered at the nickname before angrily yelling "do-dont c-call me mi-mittens!", she laughed again before replying "by the way i dont think that pole is gonna do much if it is not sharp" she points at his spear.
Mao mao than look at his spear only to realise that it was facing the other way meaning only the flat part is pointing at tanya's feet, before tanya started laughing again which mao mao in turn started to feel embarrassed and quickly flip it till it points towards tanya before lowering it to the ground.
After that is done he waited for her to finish laughing when she did he spoke awkwardly "sooo... do you want to sleep in my tent" before quickly replying with a red face "n-not in a funny way ok" tanya blinked before replying with a wink "i will try~".
Mao mao just sighs and grabs his spear before carrying it to his tent as he wrapped his cape around himself into a bean bag facing one side of the tent and close his eyes he heard footsteps before he felt something shift behind him and than the shifting stopped than quietly he spoke "good night" only to hear silence, than a soft voice replied "good night... mittens~" mao mao is too tired to retort so he just grunts before falling to sleep.
