Author's Notes: Decided to make a fifth volume for Team VRSZ instead of one shot missions. It will be similar to the original idea of Color VRSZ Colour Chronicles, but as a volume to continue their story.

A week after finishing volume four I've been going back to all my other work and correcting any spelling or grammatical errors. It took me about a month and a half to finish, though they will probably still have some small minor errors because I'm human and just one guy. I'll keep looking back at my work to fix work whenever I have free time.

I didn't realize it, but a whole year has passed since I started posting these stories. Since I missed the publication date for Origins, I thought it would be cool to post this new volume on the publication date of volume one.


Team VRSZ Volume 5

Chapter 1: Violet Tulipe, The Violent Flower

Setting: Vacuo Desert

In the vast Vacuo desert, a man was running, and he looked like he was desperately trying to get to wherever he was going. There was fear in his eyes and he was breathing heavily as he seemed to make it to his destination, a large, makeshift building made out of stone and reinforced by scrap metal. Once he made it to what seemed like the entrance, he banged on the door relentlessly until someone opened it. On the other side of the door was another man who looked puzzled why his associate was in this poor state.

"The hell's wrong with you?" he asked his out of breath friend.

"I-I-I- I was at the drop-off point where we were supposed to get the new weapons, b-b- but then she came... a monster in human form! Sh- she came after all of us! None of the new weapons could take her down and our sellers were beaten in an instant. I ran away as fast as I could."

The terrified man felt safe, but his friend grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and yanked till they were face to face.

"You ran away! And you didn't think you were followed?!" he shouted in anger at his friend's buffoonery.

The scared man was silent and his friend cursed, "Dammit! Hey everyone, get armed. We might have to fight a huntsman!"

There were five other guys in the building and they armed themselves with weapons like guns and swords. The man at the door armed himself with his own weapon, a pair of trench knives, one on each hand. All of the men were equipped with their weapons in case their leader predicted an upcoming battle. He ordered the frightened man to go to the top of the building to serve as their lookout and he did just that. He was frightened at first, but he didn't see anyone or anything for miles. All he saw was sand and dust clouds. Actually, one thing did catch his eye, a small sandstorm that was heading straight for their hideout. He couldn't tell if this was dangerous or just the weird work of mother nature, but it was too late to let his comrades know.

Suddenly, a car appeared out of nowhere in front of the sandstorm. The vehicle was a silver sports car that didn't belong in a place like this and on its left side were spray painted letters, 'VRSZ.' Small salvos came out from both sides of the vehicle with small missiles inside them. Before he could warn his friends, the car fired two missiles and they quickly made their way to the base. The first one destroyed the upper corner of the base along with the man's lookout point and he fell to the ground behind the building. The second one hit the base right in the middle and the explosion destroyed what was left of the structure. Scrap metal and debris fell from the sky and the man's associates were blown away as well. Some were hurt very bad and two were unconscious, but the leader was the first one to get up and ordered the others to do the same.

The men were ready to face whatever destroyed their smuggling hideout, but couldn't see anything but the flames of their former base. Something flew by and landed at the feet of two crooks equipped with a sword and the other a gun. At their feet were knives, one exploded and knocked one of the guys off their feet and into the sand. The other knife let out a surge of electricity that shocked the second crook until he was unconscious. Out of nowhere, a feminine figure appeared before the criminal that was knocked back by the explosion. The young woman stomped on his head then kicked him in the face to knock him out. Now that she was in full view, the leader was frightened because he's seen her before. She was the girl with the former 520,000 Lien bounty and he realized he and his men were dead.

"Dammit, that's Violet! T-Take her out!" he shouted, hoping they would get lucky and kill the purple haired girl, but she smiled.

"Make this fun for me," Violet said in amusement after licking her lips and putting the collar of shirt up like a mask.

The only one left with a sword ran at her swinging and she thought it was rather cute. She dodged each sword strike with ease like she was playing a game. The two other smugglers equipped with guns decided to use this moment to open fire when Violet's back was turned. This would've worked if it was anyone besides Violet who quickly squatted to the ground to dodge the bullets that hit and killed their friend. Before they could fire again, Violet took two Chersire's Enigma throwing knives from her waist bag and threw them at the crooks' hands, effectively disarming them. She ran up and punched the first one in the nose with a jab before she struck him in his jaw, causing him to stagger in tremendous pain. The other criminal let his partner be a scapegoat so he could pick up his gun and the leader moved in to attack her with his trench knives.

Violet backed away when the boss tried to hit her with punches in hopes of actually hitting her with the brass knuckles or striking her with the knives of the side, but neither was happening as she remained untouchable through this entire fight. Finally taking the offensive, Violet reached for one of the two Enigma daggers holstered to her legs and drew it. She clashed with the leader and she immediately gained the upper hand as he was forced to change from offense to defense. Regaining his composure, the crook equipped with a gun finally aimed for Violet right when she backhanded the leader to the ground. He fired his gun, but Violet quickly moved out the way and dashed toward him in a serpentine motion to avoid anymore gunfire until she was standing in front of the man while staring down at the barrel of the gun. He was about to fire again, but she ducked while moving to his backside. She got him in a lock and aimed his arm at his friend who recovered from the hit to the jaw. He picked his gun up and aimed it at Violet while she held the other crook in an arm lock and used him like a human shield with his arm and gun pointed back at his friend. Fearing his friend would misfire and hit him by mistake, the crook being held by Violet fired multiple shots and killed his friend. Violet grabbed the man's arm and broke it by bending it the opposite way. He screamed from the tremendous pain and Violet shut him up by knocking him out by using her elbow to deliver a strong uppercut to his chin. The only ones left were the leader of the smugglers and the frightened man who was cowering a good distance away.

The smuggling leader was trembling while Violet was grinning underneath her mask because she knew this fight was already over. She pulled out her other dagger and the two ran to each other until their weapons clashed. The smuggler threw punch after punch, swipe after swipe in order to land a hit on her, only to be matched blow for blow and she was the only one landing significant hits. Violet was blocking his knives with her daggers while used her legs to kick the man around the battlefield. With her fun finally over, Violet lifted both her daggers over her head and her opponent positioned his knives to block them, but she brought them down with so much force that they broke through his knives and cut his body landing two shallow, diagonal cuts down his chest and stomach. It wasn't life endangering, but it was incredibly painful for the man who remained on his feet until Violet ended the fight with a quick and agile corkscrew kick to the smuggler's head. The force of the kick dragged his whole body down and he fell into the sand.

"That was easier than I thought," Violet said to herself. She put her Enigma daggers back into their holsters.

She heard the faintest of breaths and turned around to see the man she followed here trembling in fear. He was afraid that she was going to go after him next and beat him to a bloody pulp, so he closed his eyes to wait for the inevitable. Luckily for him, Violet was here as a freelancer. She was tasked with capturing the ring leader of an arms dealing organization that's been affecting a lot of legal businesses and she got him. She grabbed the bleeding, unconscious man by his leg and dragged him back to her car, completely ignoring the last guy and his defeated cohorts. The man was grateful she left him unscathed, but he didn't know what to do next, not that Violet cared about him now that she got what she came for. Without any concern for her mark, Violet roughly stuffed him into the back of her car's trunk and drove away from the burning remains of the smuggler's base.

Setting: Team VRSZ Base

Violet walked into her home with a smile on her face and a big wad of Lien in her hand. She was so happy with her pay, she didn't notice her teammates in the living room until one of them spoke up.

"Hey Violet, how was the mission?" Remus asked. He was sitting on the floor playing videos games on the TV against Silver, who appeared to be losing based on his sour expression.

"It went off without a hitch! Easiest job we've ever got, but the drive was long and exhausting. I really feel like laying down right now." And she did just that. Violet walked to their long sofa and sat there to watch her two boys play their game. It lasted for three minutes until the screen said 'Winner.'

"Dammit!" Silver cursed, but he expected no less from the undefeated video game king that was Remus Cobalt. He didn't want it to end here so he told him, "Come on! Best five out of seven!"

Violet was joyfully watching her two boys have fun until she heard the third one walk down from the second floor. Zelts walked into the kitchen to find for something to eat in the fridge and didn't seem to notice Violet was back home. She coughed for no other reason than to get his attention and it worked. He broke away from his quest for food and acknowledged her presence.

"Oh, Violet, sorry I didn't notice you sooner. How'd it go?"

"I'm back in one piece with Lien in my hand, it went great," she said surprisingly cocky for someone like Violet, but the job was so easy and the pay was so big she couldn't help but revel in her success.

"I'm glad, that makes it the seventh completed job as freelancers. We're doing very well and each success means more clients. Just don't get a swelled head Violet, you're better than that," Zelts told her with concern and she adored him for it.

"Thank you for your concern, but none of this is going to my head. Trust me. I'm still the same calm, cool, and collected girl who thinks before she acts," she answered with a straight face this time to prove she was above it all and it convinced him.

"Good, I couldn't follow a leader who was reckless and full of herself."

"Let's hope you never do," Violet said just as Remus beat Silver again.

"Oh come on!" Silver shouted in frustration while Remus remained a humble winner.

"You did very well Silver. You had a higher score than last time," Remus said, hoping it would make his friend feel better, but it was more like rubbing salt into a wound.

"Don't patronize me." Silver was grumbling to himself even though everyone could hear him.

"Don't worry about him Remus. After all, his name is Silver, forever in second." Violet's clever remark earned a laugh from Zelts and an insult from Silver under his breath while Remus remained oblivious to the insult.

"Man, she got you good." Zelts was enjoying this so much that he forgot he originally came down here to eat lunch.

"Shut up..." Silver felt completely off his game today. He could usually come up with something witty to say, but he had nothing.

Violet turned on her scroll to sync with the game they were playing. "I'm joining in," she said with a smile as she squatted onto the floor between the boys.

"You're gonna lose," Silver added as he got his scroll ready.

"I'll at least try to do better than you."

"Oh, you are so on."

Zelts watched as his three teammates and friends played against each other in a video game and he couldn't help but notice how well things have been these past few weeks. His moment was broken by the roaring of his stomach, reminding him that he came down for something to eat. He rummaged through the fridge to find anything to satisfy his appetite. Life for the freelancers known as Team VRSZ was good. Not only were they doing missions in Moneta, but they were doing official work as freelancers to whatever client they deemed worthy and whatever job was worth doing. They were in the high point of their freelancers careers, The Color VRSZ Colour Chronicles.


Volume five probably won't be one big story like the last volumes. Just Team VRSZ doing missions as freelancers, so there won't be a main antagonist, though Grayson will be a recurring enemy/rival and he is kind of a dick.

I changed Violet's theme song from Tommorow Is Mine to Messing With the Best by Miracle of Sound. I felt like this song relates well to Violet's character and the beat is more action-oriented than her previous theme. Her first theme was Sable by Nano because Violet was trying to do her best to assert herself as leader and Alpha of her new team so she had to be strong and unbending. Now that the team is a real team, she doesn't have to be tough all the time and can actually be more laid back. The song helps describes Violet as a strong warrior with a side of mischief that is fun for her friends, but terrible for her enemies.
