The [Pengi-pengin] continued to munch on crystals from nearby piles as it watched the struggling red-scaled figure which had slammed headfirst into the snowbank.


    Two red-scaled legs and a slim tail were sticking up out of the snowbank flailing about sending snow up into the air.


    “That looks like...” said Mileena.


    “Yeah...” was all Akira said.


    They all watched as the red scaly figure slowly dislodged itself from the snowbank.


    “Huh? Big sister? Big brother?” asked the young girl in confusion.


    “Hey, Fleur. It''s been a while since we last met,” said Mileena with a wave of her hand.


    Fleur tilted her head to the side as she looked at the large group trying to figure out some great mystery.


    “Big sister, why are you playing around the bathroom? Let''s go play somewhere else.”


    “Peng!” the [Pengi-pengin] nodded its head at the question while it continued to eat a crystal.


    “Bathroom?” asked Mileena.


    “Yeah, this is one of the bathroom spots used by my father and his underlings. It''s really stinky here,” said Fleur, pointing at the basin.


    “Stinky?” asked Mileena. She looked at Akira and the other werewolves next to her but they shrugged.


    “Do you need to go to the bathroom? I''ll just tell the dumb bird to move.”


    Thunk!


    An Ice blue crystal hit the back of Fleur''s head.


    “Stop throwing poop at me you perverted bird!” shouted Fleur in anger whirling around to look at the [Pengi-pengin].


    Red fire exploded out covering her entire body, her fiery red hair fluttered in the light winter wind.


    The [Pengi-pengin] turned around and ignored her, continuing to eat his crystal snacks.


    In an instant, the look on Mileena''s face turned to disgust as she looked at the back of the giant blue bird.


    “Not cute at all!” muttered Mileena, gripping her daggers tightly.


    Ding!

    “OH HO HO HO!” A loud laugh echoed off the nearby mountain walls.


    Fleur whirled around in her anger and stared at their new guests.


    The two new guests lightly landed on the ground near the fuming Fleur.


    “Looks like someone likes getting poop thrown at them! OH HO HO HO,” said the loud girl as she held her blue scaled hand over her mouth.

    The loud girl was covered in blue shiny gem-like scales from her feet to her neck including her slim blue tail. Compared to Fleur she was far slimmer and less muscular.


    Her blue hair was curled into several large drills on each side of her face. Judging by her height and youthful face Akira guessed that she was around the same age as Fleur.


    Standing behind the loud blue scaled girl was an extremely buff elderly male with dull black scales covering his entire body up to his neck.


    His scales were nowhere near as shiny as either Fleur or the loud girl''s scales.


    “What are you doing here BorraEisZimaGeleiraDreki?” asked Fleur.


    “I came here after hearing someone causing a disturbance. When I arrived, I was lucky enough to see my rival getting hit in the head with poop. OH HO HO HO!”


    The red flames on Fleur flared up even higher as she listened to the explanation. She turned her back to BorraEisZimaGeleiraDreki.


    “I Don''t have time to play with you BorraEisZimaGeleiraDreki. I''m busy talking to my big sister and big brother,” said Fleur. She walked towards Mileena and Akira ignoring the two people behind her.


    “Fleur, I told you already so many times, don''t use my full name! Use the nickname you gave me! That''s what rivals do!” said BorraEisZimaGeleiraDreki.


    “Borra, I''m busy.” Fleur turned her attention back to Akira. The fire covering her body slowly disappeared as she calmed down and asked, “So why are you guys hanging out here?”


    “We were searching for a mineral and thought that it might be in there,” said Akira pointing towards the large basin that they now knew was a bathroom.


    Fleur quickly backed away from them and looked at Mileena full of suspicion.


    “I don''t think I want to be friends with you anymore if you want to collect poop.”


    “NO! We''re not like that damn uncute bird! We''re not here to collect poop! We''re looking for something called a Fire Stone,” shouted Mileena.


    “Hey! I''m still over here!” said Borra trying to get their attention.


    “Fire stone?” asked Fleur. She tilted her head to the side trying to figure out the puzzle.


    Akira looked to Klyn who started rummaging inside his pack. After a few seconds, he pulled out a book and flipped through it before shoving the book towards Fleur.


    “This is a Fire Stone,” said Klyn pointing to a hand-drawn picture of a red metal stone that was glowing from the heat stored inside.


    “Oh, that junk. There''s a lot of that in my dad''s junk pile. It''s useless because my dad''s fire is OVER 9000 times stronger!” said Fleur proudly sticking out her small scaly chest.


    “Well, my father’s Ice breath is over 10,000 times stronger than that Ice Stone,” said Borra pointing at the Ice Stone on the next page.


    “Why are you standing next to me?!” asked Fleur.


    “Because we are rivals.”


    “Hmph! Well, my dad''s fire is infinity times stronger than that fire stone.”


    “My father’s ice breath is also infinity times stronger...”


    “I said it first!” said Fleur interrupting Borra and using her red tail to smack away the blue scaled hand pointing at the Ice Stone.


    THWACK!


    Borra used her tail to hit Fleur hard on the back.


    “OW! Why''d you hit me so hard!” shouted Fleur red flames flaring up once again as she jumped away from Borra.


    “OH HO HO HO. Is my meathead rival unable to take a little smack?” asked Borra as an ice-cold blue Aura started to be emitted from her body.


    The raging fire and cold wind forced the Gargs and werewolves to take several steps back.


    The two girls launched into the air to begin their fight to the death...


    … before they could clash, the elderly black scaled man stepped in between the two and grabbed onto the back of the icy and fiery scaled necks. He separated them from each other and gently placed them down on the snow.


    “Lady FleurCarinaEldurWulkanDreki, Lady BorraEisZimaGeleiraDreki, it is not becoming of young ladies such as yourself to squabble like the common folk,” said the elderly man with an expressionless face.


    Akira could see no hint that the man felt the heat or cold coming from the two young girls as he stood between them.


    “OH HO HO HO! You are correct, Alpants. I let the heat of the moment overcome my coolness.”


    “Hmph!” said Fleur. She turned her back to Borra and looked to Mileena.


    “If you want I can take you to my dad''s junk pile. I''m sure he won''t care,” said Fleur.


    “That would be great!” said Mileena.
