Chapter 1 New Kid on the Block


Roman stood in the hanger watching Emerald walk away with his favorite lighter in hand. Roman sighed and walked over to the map duck taped to a container. As he looked at the map some one walked up next to him. The man who stood next to Torchwick looked eighteen with long jet black hair. He wore a pair of all black sunglasses to conceal his eyes, which help people from identifying him. His skin was fair but a scar under his left ear that went to his check was the only discolored part of his face. He was wearing a faded gray duster with a silver t-shirt underneath and a pair of black pants with black boots. On his back was a scythe with a solid gunmetal colored metal pole and a silver blade. On his right thigh was a plating that holstered a revolving barrel pistol. Torchwick looked at the man and chuckled a bit.

"You know you could be a little less sinister, right." Roman said.

"You know sinister in my thing." The teen said.

"So sorry you couldn't kill that traitor Tukson, my associate's associates got to him first."

"I don't care, what's next?"

"They would not tell me but we don't need dust anymore so tell the goons to stop but I do want you to get one last store's worth of dust just for good measure." Torchwick stated.

"Sounds like fun." The mysterious teen said as he left. He stopped and faced Torchwick. "Oh I think someone took this." He said as he threw Roman his lighter and left.

The man left the hanger and walked down the night street. The store that he had in mind was Dust to Dust and was the last untouched dust shop but was heading for Junior's Club to grab some goons. The teen walked into the club to see the henchmen fixing up the place after some one laid a beat down on Junior and the Twins. Junior walked up to meet the man.

"Well if it isn't the Reaper, nice to see you still need my help." Junior said sarcastically.

"Look Junior I need five men and this is the last time me or Torchwick will need them." Reaper said.

"Fine, Jo-anes get four other people and get over here!" Junior yelled to the large group of henchmen.

"Boss for the millionth time my name is Jones, Jones." A goon said.

"Shut up Jo-anes!" Another man said.

"It's pronounced Jones, its a common name!" Jones replied.

"Look does it matter how you pronounce your name, this man needs you now and not even I would hasten and delay his progress because I value my life." Junior told Jones.

Jones walked over to four different people who followed him. Then he lead the four over to Junior and Reaper.

"I need you five to help me rob one last store, Dust to Dust. Got it." Reaper stated.

The five goons nodded and the six walked out and headed for the dust shop. As they made their way on to the street that lead to the shop two police officers walked into the store. The robbers still continued to walk to the store. The goons entered first while Reaper waited outside. The two cops where looking at the crystals in the display case and the goons surrounded the lawmen. The two goons closest to the policemen hit them in the back of the neck causing them to fall over unconscious while to other three aimed their weapons at the shop owner. Shortly after the goons knocked out the lawmen Reaper walked in and walked up to the counter. He pulled out his pistol and held it chest level at the elderly shop-keep. The henchmen lowered their weapons and walked over to all the places dust was at and started to collect the dust.

"Looks like your having a hundred percent off deal, exclusive to me and my friends." Reaper joked.

"You-your that Reaper guy, you know the one that robbed my brother's store, The Dust of Time." The old man said.

"You know, now that you mention it, yeah I am." Reaper said.

"You know the police will get you eventually." The man stated.

"I have been robbing since I was fourteen and you people have only heard about me for a week...so...that won't happen." Reaper told the man.

The henchmen returned and put all of the dust in to some of the dust holding cases that where on a rack to be sold. The henchmen walked out with the cases and waited for Reaper.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you." Reaper said as he turned around and left the store.

The group ran over to a nearby building and climbed the ladders until they got to the top. They waited on the top till a Bullhead piloted by Roman showed up and they all put the cases of dust on the vehicle. Reaper got on and closed the door on the henchmen stranding them then the Bullhead took off. Reaper walked in to the cockpit and sat in the copilot seat.

"Junior's going to be pissed at us for nine of his goons missing." Reaper said.

"Like he would try to do something against us." Roman replied.

"True, so where are we going?" Reaper asked.

"Well you have a meeting with Cinder and I have to go move our dust somewhere." Roman stated.

"What, where is this meeting at?" Reaper asked.

"Still at the hanger, the conference room." Torchwick stated.

The Bullhead landed in the hanger and the two walked out. Roman walked over to the White Fang members walking around and Reaper walked over to the conference room. He entered the room to see Mercury sitting on a counter, Emerald standing near Cinder who was sitting at a table and Neo who at a different table with her legs crossed and up an the table top.

"So what's this about?" Reaper asked.

"Welcome to the circle." Mercury stated.

"Quiet." Cinder told Mercury. "I have a preposition for you, you stop working for Roman and you work with us and become of our plan. Since your good at stealing things I need you to borrow something from someone."

"What?" Reaper asked.

"An Atlesian Knight." Cinder stated.

"Wait, what!" Emerald yelled.

"Your joking right. I know I'm good at stealing shit but an Atlesian Knight is out of my league." Reaper said. "Why do you need one anyway?"

"We need to keep the White Fang our friend so we hand them the Knight, they make their own and we have an army of our own." Mercury explained.

"Okay now can I know what the hell your planing?" Reaper inquired.

Cinder stood up and walked over to Reaper.

"Mercury, Emerald and I will go to Beacon disguised as students from Haven to study the biggest threat, the huntsmen while you and Neo stay here and complete tasks for us and keep the White Fang with us." Cinder said as she placed her hand on Reaper's cheek and slowly slid her hand down.

"Alright, but this will be a miracle to pull off." Reaper said.

"Yeah sounds like you have a fun time ahead of you." Emerald said sarcastically.

The two thieves left the room followed by Neo. Cinder walked to the door but stopped and turned to Reaper.

"Don't mess this up...Justinian." Cinder stated.

"Only Roman knows my real name so how do you know it?" Reaper asked.

Cinder smirked and left the room.
