Hi! This is my first fanfic.. enjoy!
The girl sighed. Her dark brown, almost black hair flicked in the wind. She turned to head home. She has finished training for the day, and the sky was now dusky, night was going to arrive soon. She snatched her cloak and put the hood over her head, then walked into town, through an alley when suddenly she stopped.
A man stood in front of her.
He she didn't like him as soon as she saw him. His cocky smile, blonde hair tousled by the wind, and... what was he wearing? His scar seemed to be his most prominent feature. She kept walking, eyes averted when he laughed. She looked up again and saw he was flanked by another, another slim man with red eyes and black hair. She liked him more than the blonde.
"Well, Rogue." He said. "What do we have here?"
She turned around to see three more people at the opposite end of the dark alley. A woman, with a weird hairstyle and two other guys, one with a mask, the other muscular with green hair. She didn't need to be a genius to figure out what was going to happen. She leaped up, as white light flashed underneath her. She raised a wall of stone and caused it to fall on the massive green haired giant before he broke it apart. The girl wasn't so lucky, she toppled over and fell unconscious. "Minerva!" someone cried.
She caused a similar wall to appear on the other side to block Rogue and the other blonde, but it would only stall them. Now there were attacks directed at her from the masked guy. She spun and avoided them, and dodged his attacks as the green haired guy screamed bloody murder. Now near masked-guy, she plunged her fingers throughout his body, on his pressure points causing him to collapse, but not before one of his attacks cut open her side. Clutching her injury, she realized was getting tired.
A shock burst through her body and she screamed realizing she had been electrocuted. She fell, and then pulled out her fists and covered them with earth, that hardened to stone. She engaged the muscular man in battle, and then caused a huge block of stone to strike him from behind with her magic. Crunch. He punched her as he fell too, unconscious. She heard pounding noises from behind. Crud – she had forgotten about the other two. They burst in barraging her with attacks. It was night now, and she saw them smile.
"Rogue," said the blonde. "It's night."
Rogue smiled. And then disappeared. She frowned as he reappeared behind her. Shadow Magic?
"Augh!" she cried as his foot hit her ribs. Hard. She continued to fight, until they both exclaimed, "Dragon Force Magic!" The impact of the white light hit her collar bone, jarring her throat. He cut was bleeding heavily now, and her vision was slowly darkening. She couldn't move, the blonde picked her up by the throat and smiled.
"I think we found her. Talia, the murderer of the night."
That was all she heard before her vision went black.
The blonde, Sting, smiled as he felt her body grow limp and then slung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
"Damn." Said his partner, Rogue. "She almost defeated us."
"Yeah," said Sting. He was annoyed; she managed to take out their partners as well. "Take her back to the inn Rogue, I'll wake these guys up." He said, handing he to Rogue.
"All right."
Rogue walked out of the alley and stopped, noticing her wound was bleeding profusely. He sat her down and wrapped part of his cloak around her ribs before moving on. Reaching the inn, he shot a death glare at the receptionist as she began to protest, and then carried her to the room all of them were sharing.
He pulled out the magic-stopping handcuffs Orga had given his before cuffing her to the radiator. He then reached for his suitcase and pulled out a roll of bandages, as well as fetching some water from the bathroom. Pulling up her shirt to her ribs (blushing as he did so), he cleaned her wound and wrapped bandaged around her ribs, then propped her up on a pillow just as his roommates barged in. Minerva clutched her head and snarled, kicking the girl, Talia as she walked in.
"That idiot!" "You'll open her wounds," Rogue mentioned quietly.
"I Don't care, how did she manage to defeat me and the strongest of Sabertooth?"
"She didn't defeat me!" Sting gloated, and then stopped as Minerva shot him a death glare.
Rufus still couldn't move and glared at everyone, angry at having to be carried up by Orga.
"Whatever guys," said Minerva. "We're getting some sleep now, we have a train to catch tomorrow."
