In the far east of the world lies a small continent of Zanarken. The country was torn from a savage war between G.U.N and a small terrorist group.  This was the first assignment that Sef Highwind was assigned to after he got his promotion into the black ops. The arctic fox showed great potential when he joined the academy at 18, and in a short two years he made his way to the black ops division.
The helicopter was hovering above the drop zone; a small town located a few miles before the capital. Sef walked towards the edge the helicopter. He then looked at the pilot who have him a thumbs up.
Sef pulled out his sword and strapped his tech 9 to his waist. He then attached a small repel cable to the pipe located near the edge of the door. Once it was attached, he turned towards the pilot; his tail was swinging wildly with excitement.  
"See ya on the other side!"
Sef then leaped out of the helicopter. As he was repelling out of the helicopter, Sef was trying to position his tail to get the best aerodynamics so he could hit the ground running.

The second he hit the ground, a hell-fire of bullets tore through the drop point. Sef rolled out of the way of the bullets, and he took cover behind a small box near the drop point. He pulled out his tech 9 and opened fire. After he wasted a clip of ammo he dove to another cover spot.
"Shit, three egg pawn, two Buzz Bombers, and one machinegun man. I've got my work cut out for me."
He popped out from his cover once more and opened fire on the small squad. He took out the machine gunner with little issue as well as one of the buzz bombers, but a stray bullet from an egg pawn left a nice hole in the gun. Sef threw the gun to the ground with a fit of anger. He stood up from his cover. His fur was starting to frizz up due to the anger building up from losing his favorite gun. He pulled out the sword and ran at full force towards the group. He jumped high in the air, landing on top of one of the egg pawn's heads. He slammed his sword into the main control panel of the egg pawn, and then tail swiped a local buzz bomber. However, the sword was stuck in the control panel, and the two remaining egg pawns were cocking their guns. Sef closed his eyes ready for death when something happened. The egg pawns were thrown high into the air, and then they were slammed down with an excessive amount of force, When the smoke cleared, a lone figure was standing in the middle with his foot sticking out. Sef was shocked to see that it was another fox!
The fox was black in color with grey highlights in the chest fur as well as the tail tip. His hair was cool shade of green, and his had two different eye colors, blue and green. He wore baggy pants that extended to his feet, and the pants were the same shad of green as his hair with blue lining. He wore green fighting gloves that had a hole on top to show a strange X marking on the top of the hand. The fox was also built and appeared to be very strong. He began walking towards Sef with a determined look on his face.
Sef hopped down from the dead egg pawn, and also started walking towards the other fox.
"So, I guess it's true," Sef began," the reports claimed that a lone mercenary was helping out the faction here, I just had no idea it would be a fellow fox."
"I'm sorry to burst your bubble," the black fox replied," but I'm not a mercenary. I'm just a wonderer who accidently stumbled into this god forsaken land."
"Bullshit!" Sef yelled out," there's no way in hell a wonderer could take out two egg pawns like that! What the hell is your name anyway?"
"Shadz, and my I ask your name because I can't read the name tag on your collar!"
"It's Sef you prick! Now get on the ground and place your hands on your head."
Shadz complied as he got on the ground and placed his hands on his head. Sef then walked over to where Shadz was. As Sef approached he pulled out a pair of zip-cuffs to make the arrest. As soon as Sef was behind Shadz, Shadz did a tail swipe and knocked Sef to the ground. Shadz got off the ground and gave a small laugh as Sef slowly got off the ground. Sef wiped the sand off his fur and looked up at Shadz who took a fighting stance.
"Listen," Shadz said," I keep telling ya I'm not a mercenary! Just let me go and we can forget about this incident!"
"I don't think so. You just assaulted a G.U.N officer, I can't let you get away with this."
Sef also took up a fighting stance. Both foxes were at an attacking stance, ready to knock out their opponent. Then as if both could read each other's minds, they charged at each other will full force. Sef attacked first by swinging a right jab, but Shadz countered by grabbing Sef's first, swinging it around Sef's back, and then Shadz gave a quick jab to Sef's rib cage. It then flowed by the sound of bones cracking. Sef hit the ground hard as he grabbed his side. Shadz walked over to Sef and swung his left foot in the air, and then began to bring it straight down to knock Sef out. Sef, however, managed to roll out of the way at the last second, and proceeded to windmill kick Shadz off balance. Getting off of the ground, Sef grabbed Shadz, and proceeded to throw him towards the ground. But Shadz grabbed Sef's hand and also threw him to the ground.
Both got up from the ground breathing hard. Both haven't fought like this in some time, but a look of determination was in their eyes. This time Shadz was on the attack, throwing punches left and right. Sef was having a hard time dodging and blocking the onslaught of attacks, but he managed to hold his own; looking for an open to throw in a quick jab. When at last he saw it, and he blocked an on coming jab and countered with one of his own. But this wasn't enough. Sef then began his offensive attack by using a combination of kicks and jabs. Each jab managed to hit its mark, but Shadz showed no sign of weakness as he managed to block the following kicks. The last kick Sef threw at Shadz, Shadz managed to grab the leg. Once the leg was caught, Shadz threw Sef across the courtyard in which they were fighting.
Sef rolled across the dirt floor, leaving dust clouds as he skid to a stop. Desperately trying to get up, Sef noticed Shadz drawing nearer and nearer towards him. He closed his eyes waiting for a finishing blow, but when Sef opened his eyes, he saw Shadz's hand extended. Shadz helped the arctic fox off of the ground, Sef's eyes looking into Shadz.
"Why? Why help me when you could have easily killed me?"  Sef asked.
"First off," Shadz replied, "I've been telling ya I'm not like that. Second, I've haven't had a fight like that in some time, and it's only fair that I help you out so we may continue this later."
Sef smiled a bit, for he too was happy to fight someone who was a match for him. The resting period was over though because a group of Egg Pawns soon surrounded the two. Their guns were aimed at the pair of Foxes, and the group cocked their guns simultaneously.  The foxes smiled as they took off at the surrounding group, and within a matter of minuets the group was taken down.
Sef and Shadz began to laugh as they walked back to where their fight started.
"So," Shadz began," what's going to happen now? I mean what are you going to do with me?"
"Well, nothing." Sef replied. "I'm just going to go on record that the firefight took a bit longer than expected, and that the area was secured after a very long investigation. So your off the hook… for now."
The foxes shook hands, and Shadz started walking towards the border of Zanarken. Sef just watched as Shadz took off, and he soon began to think about his mission once more.
'Still," Sef began wondering, " I wonder if I'll ever cross paths with him again?"
