It was a hard chase, it was a VERY difficult chase. Zero had tracked this man down all the way from Veyyard to another country even he himself has no idea of. All he knows is this man has a bounty on his head, and he deserves to die. He ESPECIALLY deserves to die with all those children he molested.
So there Zero stood, facing the man he's so pissed off at, cornering the guy sharply with a deep valley right behind the victim. From how terrified the man is, Zero snapped with unrestricted rage, "There! FEEL IT! That's the fear you've granted to those poor souls you savaged! I've given an order to exterminate you, and I HAPPILY WOULD! Good evening to you, freak."
The click of his gun's trigger jolted the criminal, and before Zero has the chance to even shoot this man, the fugitive fell. He fell with a loud long frightened scream, and though the bounty hunter did not see that coming, he sure felt pleased just hearing the man's screaming.
Then, the voice dissappeared, only echoes remains.
Call it sadistic if you must, but Zero acts how he likes. Even that curve of his smile when the echoes ended is uncontrollable. Perhaps there's a darkness in his heart that enjoys the death of others, but Zero would strongly disagree with that. It's not the death of others that excites him, it's the death of those who doesn't deserve to live. Who knows how many children had he scarred for a lifetime.
Placing his handgun back in its holster, silently glad that idiot's dead. He's not a murderer, he kills for a reason. He searched for the reasons BEFORE he kills anyone, that's how Zero has so much confidence and does not let himself feel remorse.
His eyes traveled at the horizons. Standing on top of Ida Valley is actually rather fascinating, the skies are tinged in bright orange and a splash of yellow. He would just stand there and stare at it for a while longer if he didn't remember he has to return back to the headquarters.
He turned around to take his leave, but stopped abruptly. "Wait. ...Where the hell am I?" Apparently, his fellow older and slower bounty hunter partner was lost somewhere in the chase, and its not that Zero's worried about him, Zero's worried about how he's going to get back home if there's no one to show him directions.
And he sucked in directions. "I'm....screwed."

"You're kidding me! Where did that puppy go? Okay I admit he's cute but man, he sure is fast." Mitsuko had been flying all around looking for this lost puppy that had took her sketch book and ran off with it.
"This has been some week, first I remember my best friend, and next I am so depressed, and third the puppy ran off with my sketch book! My wings are so tired...."
The angel landed and started to run. "Zero if only you were here you'd give me a hand wouldn't you?"
She ran till her feet tired and she stopped and dropped to her knees panting. She didn't know however that Zero was nearby. "Oh god.... This isn't a place to rest..... I heard a rumor around here that there was a person on the run... from a bounty hunter... Wait..... Bounty Hunter..... And there is only one bounty hunter that I know.... ! Then that means..."
Her eyes widened and her cheeks showed the peachy color because she was happy. But as she regained her memory, She felt someone nearby.. "Uh oh.... Not THEM again!"

It was a young prince that was doing his rounds with his men, along with trying to seek revenge against the angel who had argued with him earlier, because she was standing up for the young boy who had the puppy. The puppy had interrupted the prince who was reading in his study. In the midst of being scared he had taken Mitsuko's sketch book and ran off, thinking that the angel would follow him and get her out of danger. Though in Mitsuko's eyes he was just being a puppy and being mischievous.
"Ohhh pretty angel~ Where are you? Come out come out where ever you are! We are not going to hurt you. You really think you can hide?! Your pretty little self won't last long in this area and you know it."
"MEN! Salvage this area! Leave no stone unturned! That angel will get what's coming to her from giving me lip!"
The soldiers all together said "Yes Sir," and they all split up to look for the angel..

"Darn it...." Mitsuko got up and started running again. In the prince's eyes she was considered a bounty herself since she was a mythical being and the prince hated angels with a passion. To him she was considered a savage.
As she ran she could hear them getting closer and closer. She hid behind every tree and soon she was near a young man standing near a cross roads, un sure of where to go.
"PSST excuse me..... please if you see an angry prince----! She gasped as she saw the shadows of the prince and his men.. "Please don't say anything okay?"
The angel had no idea that this young man was the bounty hunter Zero, the one she wants to see again. The one she helped, the one she considered her first shining star, the one that was her best friend.
"Are you lost?, if you are don't go left. If the prince finds you he may question you, and he's rude. I can't stand rude people."
"I'm Mitsuko by the way, people call me Michi for short, or as my best friend used to call me since it was easier Miki. Because I have the first 3 letters. Just missing another I." She kept hearing footsteps and mouthed an I'm sorry to the young man for just running out from their introduction.

Worst comes to worst, even if Zero had lost his sense of direction, at least he's not indecisive. He just stared at the crossroads in front of him, then decided to go left, and he was just pulling his leg up to walk when he heard a whisper.
He looked around to search the source of the sound, and then chanced upon a beautiful lady...hiding behind a tree. Zero can't help but to raise an eyebrow at how queer it looks, plus her short explanation of an...angry prince? "What?" he asked her back with a flat tone, not really a fan of vague statements. If she wants to make her information comprehensible, then he wishes she would at least describe the relevant structures.
While his rational mind is acting up more than it should on the situation, this young woman then suddenly moved on to another topic by asking him if he's lost. Zero blinked at her, is it really that obvious? If it is, then he has to start forming a more secured expression on his face.
She then advised him of not turning left, then yet again mentioned of this prince. 'What is she, a princess escaping from an arranged marriage?' Just when Zero was opening his mouth to respond, it was proven he's too slow since the girl started talking again.
Her next statement of her introduction made him froze. Even his lips were still parted. Usually, he would question why on earth a person hiding behind a tree from a prince would introduce herself to a random stranger, but his over-active mind was shut off the moment the word 'Miki' was spoken.
Then something clicked in his mind. A pleasant click, as though something was placed neatly and perfectly on the spot of his mind.
"WHAT?!"
His outburst was so loud, it definitely could attract the prince's attention. Thing is, Zero doesn't care which royalty who would charge at him, or that he just gave away this lady's hiding spot, what's important and at the tip of his attention is he KNOWS this young woman.
"MIKI?!!" Still, his tone didn't even died down, it got even higher. Zero was so overwhelmed by shock, he just stood there staring at her with his jaw dangling slightly. This person...is one of the crucialties of his life.
Once he gained his senses, he dragged his feet towards her, still with his eyes very wide, and said, "I'm--"

At the sudden yelling of a man nearby, the prince directed his attention towards the area. Immediately, he called his men to check up on what it is while he jogged behind them.
From his point of view, he could only see a kid, probably a random teenager, talking to a tree. The prince rolls his eyes, the boy's probably high on drugs, and he's just about to turn around when one of his shoulders shouted that he spotted the angel.
"There, sir!!!"
The prince spun back his attention to the boy, then moved to the side just enough to see another person behind a tree. And that person, is none other than the angel he wished to exterminate.
"Ha! Found you.."

Zero positively can't stand interruptions, especially during a critical moment like this. He tore his attention away from Mitsuko to turn around and see a fairly large number of men surrounding the area. One of them looks regal enough to be royal, and egoistic enough to be a brat. 'A royal brat. Figures...'
"If you don't mind, we're in the middle of something here," he snapped a warning to them, his left hand instinctively touching the rim of his gun at its holster. That's when it dawned on him these guys looked a little too threatening to be playing hide and seek here.
"If you're planning on harming this woman here, then you'll have to go through me!" Being the fiercely protective man he is, Zero completely blocks the view of the prince to Mitsuko, now pulling his handgun out entirely from its holster.
His eyes scanned around sharply, there's no way his bullets can penetrate through all of their skulls in such a short-distance. That's when Zero planned to just go all-around crazy with his fists, and maybe whack them with the butt of his guns, if they didn't back off.

"That gun..... He's the bounty hunter....." Mitsuko went beside Zero. " I won't let you do this alone. We will fight together. I will prove to this lowlife spoiled brat that I am not a savage!"
She summoned her bow and arrow that came to her as a form of a feather. Her spirit was more alive, because her best friend was back... though their introduction was so rudely interrupted, that she wasn't going to take this fight lightly. The chemistry between Zero and Mitsuko, that everyone has to understand is that they make each other stronger because of their bond, because of their friendship.
"I hate fighting but what's worse... I won't allow you to hurt this young bounty hunter. She closed her eyes and she began to glow a little bit. "It's a shame that you don't know a thing about compassion you're "Highness"

"Compassion?! I barf at the thought of that word coming from the likes of you Mitsuko! No wonder that your past loves left you. You smother them with so much love that it makes them sick! The angel is super good.... Rumor has it that you died and went to this "heaven" a long time ago due to illness..... But god gave you a second chance because it wasn't your time. If you asked me you should have stayed....
"DEAD!"
"The thought of you angels existing is inexcusable!"

"Ohh.. sorry you feel that way, you big jerk! My soul returned to my body since I need to be here. I WANT to be here. With my best friend!"
She goes up in the air and takes aim on the prince. She starts shooting her arrows at him grazing him. She looks at Zero and closes her eyes and begins blessing him with angelic protection. "Don't worry... This will protect you." She smiles at him and then looks at the prince and tries to go get the prince off gaurd. "No one insults me and gets away with it!
"Angelic Rain!" A rain of arrows start hitting the prince with no mercy.
After her attack on the prince the angel's eyes locked with Zero's eyes creating a brotherly/sisterly tender moment among the two best friends. The expression on her face as she looked at him for those two whole moments, never faltered for a second, it was just soft, gentle and kind. She was giving the indication that she KNEW who he was.

"Don't you get it angel girl?! Your attacks are nothing to me, they just bounce off like water droplets." The prince looked at the angel, as if he was a devil incarnate. but he also noticed that the angel didn't show fear as she battled him. "Aren't you afraid? Why don't you just give up?!"
Both the prince and the angel crossed weapons in battle, and as they did the prince noticed her inner strength. She wasn't going to give up, the prince got the feeling that something finally clicked for the angel. However he just brushed it off like it was nothing.

Zero turned his head to the side, his eyes wide staring at this young angel stepping forward. 'She...knows me? I haven't even..introduce myself..' Despite that thought, Zero smiled. It's exactly like when they first met before during their childhood, she was staring at him as if she knows him, and he haven't spoken a word yet to her, much less his name.
Though, that curve of his lips was quickly replaced with a frown when the prince began to talk. What's worst is his words were far from comforting, the more he spoke, the more clear it is to see that blazing inferno in Zero's eyes.
"SHUT UP!!!" In cue of the prince's 'dead' statement, Zero had delivered his bullet generously towards the ground right in between the prince's legs. His gunshot was so loud, it totally muted the word. That temporary muteness actually gave Zero a moment to ponder and absorb the words that prince had said, but when his hearing was back again, so is his focus on the current mission; to protect Mitsuko.
It's very rare for Zero to be this benevolent, especially in the issue of involving his long lost best friend here. Normally he would've shot that prince right inside his mouth. Maybe it's because Zero has no idea what's going on yet, and there's still a bit of rationality in him, so he can't just deliberately kill someone without knowing both sides of the story.
Unless his composure snapped, at least. And according to how this prince is acting, he doubts it's going to be long. That's why he's still pointing his gun at him without even shivering his arm.
Then, Mitsuko flew up and began raining down her arrows remorselessly, and while Zero stood in awe of what transpired in front of him, there's a glowing warmth that was suddenly engulfing him. He looked up to Mitsuko, just in time to hear her saying that it will protect him.
"Thank you.." he nodded at her. That's enough to confirm him to be the short-ranged agressor for the moment if needed, since he trusts Mitsuko covered long-range. Seeing the prince already rushing towards Mitsuko and both of them battled with each other, Zero can tell she's going to win. With that determination in her eyes.
Either way, he still rushed straight behind the prince when he's distracted with his fight with Mitsuko, and simply delivers a quick sharp jab.
It won't kill the prince, but it'll at least weaken him and provides a weak spot for Mitsuko to strike later.

The prince wielded a lance, a weapon that can top any other...except for those wielding axes. Though that didn't worry him, both his opponents use long-ranged weapons, so that means he can easily beat them. Plus, he possesses telekinesis too. Just as he's about to pierce his lance through the angel's bow, something hit him at the side of his rib.
A fist. A friggin fist. It's not just a fist, it's a fist gripping a gun, with the gun's butt at his rib.
The prince recoiled at the unexpected pain, glancing at the side to see that boy from before smirking at him. So he's not just a shooter, he's a brute too? He didn't worry about the kid for long, since the guards had began to pull the boy away from the prince and encircles him.
He faces back to Mitsuko with a pained smile, "Now its just you and me, savage.. It ends here!"

'He didn't just ignore me, he's giving me the henchmen?! Please don't kill me with your banality...' His sarcastic wit echoes in his mind, barely escaping his lips for him to say, but he didn't considering he's too busy evading the pokes and jabs from swords and spears the guards are trying to kill him with.
Those who's lucky enough to actually hit Zero got a pleasant surprise of their weapons bouncing off his skin. Mitsuko's blessing of protection is a blessing indeed, it almost made the bounty hunter grin gleefully. In no time, he's able to knock, shoot, blast and headbutt everyone that's in his way with ease.
It would almost look like he's enjoying the whole thing. He might probably enjoy it more if he can kill any of these people. Fortunately for them, his morale wouldn't let him do so.
Each and every one of the guards fell either in pain or unconsciousness, and the young brunette stood there in the middle of the mass of bodies sprawling around while casually replacing the bullets of his guns.
Maybe he could blast off one of the prince's limbs if he has the time.

'I know who you are bounty hunter... Zero. But you know me that I go all out for every little thing that goes on in my life, just to make it special for someone else, especially when it is a reunion, or showing that I care. In this case it is no different. Once the battle is over, and we are both safe and sound, I'll say your name.'
"Nothing fears me right now, right at this very moment, I can't be well loved by every one... But I definitely am learning to not take shit from anyone just because I am a people pleaser. I got hurt too many times, but when someone pushes me to my limits I will not and I repeat NOT put up with it. Insults, and being racial against angels is in excusable! OH and for your information? I am part human. How? My mother was an angel and my father was a human."
The angel focused all her energy in her powers and what she was going to do next would surprise everyone.
I call upon the power of the heavens, open up your gates and and give me the power to set his spirit free, and for him to have a second chance in the path of goodness! Only if he learns the error of his ways!"
a bright heavenly light wraps around the angel, and her necklace with her teardrop pendant glows when it is touched by her own tears of an angel. "Purify this wretched soul by freeing him from the clutches of darkness!"
The angel was mad at the prince for insulting her however she did have a heart and the attack she did would take his soul up to oblivion for him to learn and feel remorse, and if he learns his lesson then he will be back down on this earth to do all that is good, hopefully.
