"Chakat Oneshot please proceed to the firing line" The voice said over the PA system. From the crowd of humans and furs alike stepped lone figure. The figure turned out to be a feline-taur with sandy colored fur , long brown hair that reached down to hir shoulders , and emerald green eyes. That feline-taur was me Chakat Oneshot.

I walked up to the firing line and picked up the rifle that was laying there. I looked it over and saw it was an M1 grand, and I notice the clips are loaded with cheap poor quality rounds. "ill have to compensate for these, and that's if it doesn't blow up in my face first." I muttered as I adjusted the sights. I was currently placed first in the shooting contest. I shouldered the rifle and waited for th signal to start

I took a deep breath and slowed my heart rate as I lined up the first target in my sights. An air horn blew and i dropped the first target instantly. I swung the gun to the right and hit the next one and the next. the clip ran dry and i racked back the charging handle before ejecting the spent clip and slapping an new one in its place in under a second. I then snapped off the last three shots to take down the last targets.

"nice shooting" I heard as I finished firing. i removed my ear protection before turning around.

"thanks." I said. what I noticed first about him was the worn black hoodie he wore with his thumbs sticking out of holes in the sleave.

"Nice to meet you I'm Branden." he said smiling while extending his hand in greeting. I reached out and shook his paw with my own and gave a smile.

"I'm Chakat Oneshot, but please call me oneshot." I said as I let go of his hand and started walking toward my truck with the fox in tow.

"Chakat Oneshot has broken the standing record with a time of 5.06 seconds." The announcer said in his over entuisastic voice.

"Damn didn't think any one would break that record." Branden said as he walked on my left across the dirt parking lot, "especially considering i set it."

I perked my ears up at the comment. "You set the record before me?" I asked as i reached my truck (im a taur so its and extended cab wit the driver side seats replaced by a taur bench).

He smirked and said, "yeah last year. seconds flat." He jumped up on the tailgate of my truck and sat his furry little but down. "just how did you break my record any way?" he asked a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Oh, there were a few factors involved." I said as I leaned into the cab of my truck and grabbed my M14 and a cleaning kit for it. I then started breaking down the gun to clean it.

"What might those factors be?" He asked as his head tilted to the side a bit and his ears flicked about.

"just a few things." I said as I looked around to see if anyone was nearby listening in, "how bout a deal?"

"What Kind of deal?" He asked.

"buy me lunch and I'll tell you a secret." I said as i ran a cleaning tool down the barrel of the gun. I then finished cleaning it and reassembled it.

He smiled and said, "Sure sounds like a deal to me." he jumped down for the bed of my truck and landed in a crouch before standing up and dusting him self off while i put the gun and cleaning kit away.

"all right the contests over any way so lets go now." i said as i opened the driver side door and climbed in.

"Sure let me give my friend a call and tell him where im going." he said as he pulled his phone from his pocket, "Where are we going anyway?"

"Just a diner up the road a ways." I said as i changed the passenger seat over for use by bipeds.

"All right." he said as he put the phone up to his ear, "yeah Leo. I'm going with a friend to lunch. yeah its a diner up the road a bit from here. Alright I'll ask." he turned to me and asked, "hey would it be okay if my friend came too?"

I blinked then said, "yeah sure as long as they can keep a secret and they don't mind riding in the bed." He nodded and smiled then relayed this to his friend.

"he says that fine and to pick him up by the gate." Branden said as he climbed in the passenger seat and closed his phone.

I just smiled and turned the key to the Ken-worth W900L turned pickup bringing the CAT 3406 diesel engine roaring to life. "ah i never get tired of hearing that." I said as I put the truck in gear and moved foward.

"wish i had one of these. all i got is an F150" he said as we pulled up at the gates.

"Where is your friend at?" I asked as I scanned the crowd.

"I told him to look for the big semi turned pickup truck. maybe you should hit the horn." He said as he looked out the window.

I grinned evilly and nodded as I reached up for a rope hanging from the roof of the cab. "This might be a little loud." I said as I grinned wider.

"Now whats th...." He didn't finish as I pulled the rope causing the three train horns mounted on top of the cab to blast. "AH! my ears!" He yelled as he grabbed at them.

I broke out laughing at this and say, "You should know i love doing that." I looked over and saw a fox with teal blue hair walking toward us. "that your friend?" I asked as I pointed out the window

"yeah thats him. Oh and please don't do that again." He said as the other fox jumped in the back.

I smiled and said, "All right i wont." I turned around and opened the back window and stuck my paw out for the fox to shake. "I'm Oneshot. and you are?" I asked as he took my paw and gave it a shake.

"Nice to meet you im Leo." he said as he shook my hand, "Hey i couldn't help but notice the bed seams a bit shallow back here, but then again i take i this is no normal truck."

"Ah you all ready figured out one of my secrets." I said in mock dissapointment as i pulled out on to the old crack asphalt and started driving toward the diner, "And your right this is no normal truck."

"In what ways is it not besides the obvious?" Branden asked as i put down my window and stuck my arm out it leaning it on the door,

"I'll show you after lunch." I said as we pulled in to the parking lot of the old roadside diner.

"oh god i hope brought enough money." Branden said as he climbed out of the truck and looked through his wallet.

"Why you worried?" Leo asked as he jumped down from the bed of the truck.

"Because i just realized a taur eats a lot more than normal." He said as he flipped through his wallet.

"Wait did you say taur?" he asked.

"Yes he did." i said as climbed out of the truck and locked it.

I waited for the dazed look to leave his face before he said, "well that explains why I had to ride in the back."

I just smiled and nodded the started to walk up to the diner. As soon as I stepped foot in the door I was ambushed by two little fur-balls. "Ack! Tim and Amy how many times have i told you to stop that?" I said as I pried the two tiger cubs off me. they just giggled and took off running.

"Those your kids?" Leo asked as he watched them dissappear.

"no they would be mine." said a voice from behind the counter where a white tigress stood in a white apron.

"Hey Bella Nice to see ya." I said as I walked up to the counter.

"Nice to see you too oneshot. who are your friends?" She asked as she looked at the two behind me.

"oh sorry forgot the introductions. the one in the hoody is Branden and the one with the teal hair is Leo." I said as I looked over my shoulder, "come on over here you two."

"well any friend of Oneshot is a friend of mine. I'm Bella." She said as she smiled at the two of them as they took seats next to me.

"I'll take the usual." I said as they flipped through the menu.

"I'll take a chicken fried steak." Leo said as he put down his menu.

"bisques and gravy for me." Branden said as he layed his own down.

"No problem." Bella said as she walked out from behind the counter after grabbing a glass of ice water and walked over to a booth where a black foot paw could be seen twitching and snoring could be heard softly. She then proceeded to dump the water on the figure.

The figure which turned out to be a red fox jumped up yelling, "AH COLD!!!"

I just laughed at his antics before saying, "Cody calm the hell down."

"easy for you to say. you didn't just get a glass of ice water dumped on your crotch." He said as he rubbed his eyes.

Bella giggled at this and handed him a slip of paper with our orders on it.

"I just wake up and its straight back to work?" He asked as she walked behind the counter.

"Looks that way Cody." I said cheekily.

"uh am I missing some thing?" Branden asked as he looked from me to Bella then to Cody.

"nah just every day shenanigans for us." Bella said as she took a seat next to us.

"Okay....." Branden said as he turned to face froward as a plate of food landed in front of him. plates landed in front of me and Leo as well.

"eat up you three." Cody said as he went to lay back down in his booth.

after we had finished eating Branden spoke up saying, "Now what this secret you were gonna tell me?"

I perked my ears up at the question before sighing, "Bella can you get me another cup of coffee please?"

Bella looked up from her seat and nodded, "Sure."

"well whats the secret?" Leo asked as he turned to look at me still nursing his cup of coffee.

"its a long story and well i guess its best if i start at the begining." I siad as i sipped my coffee.

(flashback)_

It all started when I was around 8 years old. I was your average Chakat cub with a few exceptions. One being my obsession with weapons and the other being my apparent lack of a Chakat's normal pacifistic personality. I was walking home from school one day with my blue book bag on my upper back swaying slightly from side to side with each step. it was a perfect Friday afternoon in SC. I could feel the breeze blowing through my fur as I walked along the old dirt track to my house.

I was enjoying my self and singing a song id had stuck in my head all day. I was about a quarter mile from home when I heard yelling coming from one of our fields. At first I shrugged it off and continued on, but as I got closer to home the yelling got louder.

Now I was genuinely worried so I slipped off down a side track to our barn. When I got there I pulled a key from my pocket and unlocked a side door to the big old barn. I stepped in and smelt the smell of old stale hay mixed with the smell of the clay under paw. I walked over to a door and opened it the flicked on the lights.

The single light hanging from the ceiling illuminating the dust in the air as I walked to a corner and picked up my sire's old M14. the cool blued steel of the barrel and the smooth wood stock gave me a feeling of being able to survive. I walked out of the room and shut the light, before sliding the clip into place and racking back the handle hearing the sharp metallic click echoed around the barn. I slipped quietly out the door and stuck to the trees as I moved toward my house. When I reached it What I saw froze me in place.

there on the front lawn was my mother and my sister both beaten badly in the middle of a crowd of humans all with some form of weapon in their hands. i felt a rage boil up inside of me as i lined the sights of the rifle up on the leaders head when a voice popped into my head saying, "Don't shoot."

"what choice do i have?"I asked as I looked around and saw no source of the voice so i shrugged it off and lined back up the shot.

"what part of don't shoot don't you understand?" the voice said again as something grabbed the barrel of the M14.

"Well then what am i supposed to do?" i asked aloud as tears formed in my eyes while i watched my mother get slapped in the face. the worst part being i could feel the pain over the empathic bond we shared. i could almost trace the outline of where the hand had hit hir on my own cheek.

"go and get your sword and ill help you save them." the voice said as I felt the grasp release from my rifle.

"Fine." I said as i put the gun over my back and started moving behind the house to the back porch. i looked over the worn wooden porch that had played host to many a cookout and other ocassions. I walked over to the back door and opened it silently then stepped inside. I walked down the hall toward my room my claws clicking against the wood floors. when i reached the door to my room i opened it and saw the 4 foot Crimson red sword laying across my bed. i reached for the handle of the blade.

when i touched it that voice spoke up again and said, "go and fight."

I just nodded slightly as i lifted the heavy blade and turned and left my room. i walked along toward the front door my paws barly making a sound on the floors as i made my way through the living room i raised the sword and readied to strike the first target i saw.

when i reached the front door i slowly felt a chill run down my spine as i opened it and saw the sight before me. my mother Deadeye and my little sister Onestripe beat and bloody inthe middle of the crowd whipering in pain still.

a calmness tempered my rage at the sight into a sharp focus that guieded my paws as i raised the blade and brought it to bear on the man next to the door. the crimson red blade sinking into his neck slicing flesh and crushing bone before compleatly severing his head from his body.

i watched him fall to the ground before i turned and faced the crowd. "ill make every last one of you bastards pay for harming my family." I yelled though by the end it was more of a roar, before charging down the front step and into the crowd slicing a path through it with my sword.

my hands moved the blade with a presicion i was sure didn't belong to me as i moved toward my family. by the time i reached them blood matted my fur as i stood in between them and the crowd.

I looked over the stunned faces in the crowd, most of them like that because they realized that a good chunk of them had been wiped out by an eight year old. "i don't know what drove you to be such bigots as to beat innocents." I spoke with a calmness in voice that scared even me a bit, "but now that you have made that choice you will all pay for it with your lives!"

As i stood there i heard the sound of my sires truck come down the drive. shi had just got back from a cross country haul today and as soon as shi could see what was happening shi hit the breaks and jumped out with a silver two foot sword in hir hands. shi then sliced hir own path to us from hir truck. when shi reached me shi asked' "Oneshot what happened here?"

"I don't know." I said as i turned to face hir. all of a sudden two sharp cracks came from behind me as I spun around and saw an image that burned into my mind forever. my mother and sister laying there with holes in their heads and their eyes wide open. I looked up and say the man who had done the dead still holding the smoking pistol and grinning evilly. I don't know what happened but i found myself with the mans neck in my hands squeezing tighter and tighter until i heard his neck snap. then all of a sudden i was on the front porch and i watched my sire Sureshot drive hir sword into the ground before a blinding light erupted from it. i raised my hand to cover my eyes as i looked away.

when i looked back after the light died away all that was left of my family and the crowd was Sureshot's sword sticking out of the ground.

"Sureshot?" I called out to the empty yard as i slowly moved off the porch and towards the sword. my own still in my hand but when i looked down at it i noticed it had a series of strange runes carved in the blade now, and when i pulled my sire's sword from the ground i noticed that there were similar runes in it.

i was in a bit of a daze as i walked back into the house. I stood in the living room and looked up at the family portrait hanging above the fireplace. it showed Sureshot, deadeye, Onestripe, and me all lounging around talking and having a good time.

that was the last straw i felt the adrenalin suddenly leave me as i colasped to the ground in tears.
