"Sven!" exclaimed Ryoga. He moved to the large figure and grasped his hand. "It's good to see you again."

"As it is you, old friend," replied the large barbarian. "I seek help. My village has frozen over. The animals there are frozen in ice. We are running low on food. We must be rid of this witch once and for all." Everyone agreed with him whole heartedly.

"So what do we do?" asked Charjer.

"Let's try an assassin," suggested Gohan.

"Do you know of any?" Kechara questioned. Gohan nodded.

"A guy I met in Dunblane. Goes by the name of Raziel."

A figure jumped down in the middle of the group. Everyone jumped back as Ate, Cueball, Kechara and Charjer drew their weapons. Smirk moved behind Ate.

Gohan stepped forward. "Whoa! Hey guys. This is Raziel." The man bowed.

"Pleasure to meet you all," he said. "I am an assassin. The best in my trade."

"Let's hope so," commented Smirk.

"Beware assassin," said Ryoga. "This person is a wielder of a great magic. You may not return from this mission."

"There's no one that can't be killed. If they bleed, I'll be there to snuff them out," Raziel replied arrogantly.
