Chapter 1: The New Team:
Morpheus
He looks like trouble. That's what I thought when I saw this guy. Classic case of armed robber. Black clothes, great for hiding weapons. So I decided to follow him. He walked into a gun shop, so I followed him in after a minute or so. The shop was pretty basic, weapons on the walls and an eager salesman behind the counter. Apart from the criminal, there was just the shopkeeper and a girl, with purple tinged black hair. Then, the crook pulled out a gun.
"Money in the bag" He threw a bin bag at the shopkeeper, and aimed the gun at him
"Relax! Relax! I'm doing it!" He yelled, emptying the register. I looked over at the girl, who had her hand in her jacket, curled around a small sidearm. I nodded as I reached for my stun rods.
Tex
My alarm blared early in the morning. I slapped the snooze button without opening my eyes and flopped onto the floor, blinking lazily. I yawned and looked out the window, raining again, great. I looked around the room, the TV caught my eye, a small pink note was stuck to it. I crwaled over and read it:
Texia
Going out, be back this evening
Order some pizza if you want, I left some money downstairs!
Buy whatever you want Be sensible!
Mum
I smiled and stood up, scrunching the note into a ball and throwing it in the bin. I pulled on some clothes and went downstairs, flipping over the sofa and grabbing the money mum left. There was enough there to buy a medium pizza and something a bit more expensive. Mum knows me so well. I tied my dark purple hair into a ponytail, grabbed my coat (And a small pistol) and ran outside.

Shortly after arriving in the gun shop, the usual quiet lonely store gained two extra customers, a middle aged guy wearing black leather, and a boy wearing a long brown trench coat. All was well for a while, untill the leather clad guy pulled a gun on the shopkeeper.
"Money in the bag" He yelled. the owner shreiked as a bag landed in his arms
"Relax! Relax! I'm doing it!" He yelled back, emptying the register. I looked over at the boy, he nodded as I reached for my gun.
I fired a shot at the crook's gun, knocking it from his grip, as the boy leapt forward and clubbed him over the head with a short metal rod, sparking with electricity. The criminal fell forwards over the counter, unconscious.
Mark
I stood in a dark alleyway, a usual place for people like me to chill. But I wasnt 'Chilling'. I was looking for someone. I flexed my arm every time a suspicious looking person walked by, flashing my pruple eyes, daring them to make a move. By now, I was quite bored, this target was taking longer than usual to get here.
Finally, he walked by. A tall, thin man by the name of Romulus. I wasnt given a second name, which wasnt irregular. This particular man had escaped from the massacre at the Forsaken Wolves hideout, somehow getting through the Hunters and other Thieves. I pulled up my hood and face mask as I followed from a distance. Romulus walked further down the alleyway, into a dead end.
"Where... where is it?" He muttered, fumbling with a large sellection of keys. He threw them down in frustration, and patted himself down, spinning around to get some light. He saw my shadow and looked up. I admit, I look a little bit intimidating, with my black clothing and bright glowing eyes. The fact I can't talk might not help either.
"Who... what'd you want?" Romulus asked, wide-eyed. I pulled my mask down and smiled, extending my arms wide. He relaxed a bit, thinking I was friendly. What he didnt notice, was the dust in my hand. I threw it, igniting his arm. "AGH!" He patted his arm furiously, as I threw more dust, freezing him to the spot, and electricuting him. He fell to the floor. I smiled down at him. He leapt back up, drawing a dagger.
"Hey!" A girl stood a few mitres away, holding a sickle. Romulus ran past her, and I went to pursue him, but the girl got in the way. She smacked me in the side of the head with her hilt. I fell back, and held a hand to my head. She aimed a strike with her weapon, and I raised my arm, and heard the metal blade hit my metal arm. The blade shattered.
The girl stepped back as I got up. Either the hit to my head affected me worse than I thought, or the alleyway suddenly got darker.
Ash
Dark alleys. Never again. Seriously. I hear someone yelling, I think, hey, lets help a brother out. Then, that guy runs away, and leaves me with some... metal armed psycho! Then, this guy arrives!
"Ehem, judging by that outfit, and the broken sword, i'm guessing you two dont like eachother" A guy wearing dark clothes stood in the alley, shadows swirling around him "I'll take your names, if you please"
"Uh, who are you?" I asked, hoping this guy wasnt out to get me as well
"You first" He replied, looking at the crazy guy, who remained silent
"I'm Ashley Rook" I mumbled, stepping towards him
"Ok, great, since you asked nicely, I'm Fen Kuro, and who's your buddy?" The crazy guy smiled at Fen, before running at him, metal fist raised. Fen acted faster, throwing a small knife at the guys arm, sending sparks of electricity along his arm. He collapsed to the floor.
"Um, is he...?" I asked, poking him with my foot
"He's unconcsious" Fen replied, picking him up "Now, c'mon"
"Where are we going?" I asked nervously
"The holding cells at the VPD" he replied, walking away.
Morpheus
After the robbery attempt, I sat in the VPD with my newfound ally, Tex. We were told to wait, that we were going to meet some people. The officer finally returned, and gestured for us to follow.
"So, who are we meeting?" Tex asked, walking down the corridor of holding cells
"Three people, in all. Two convicted criminals and a huntsman" The officer replied
"Why would we need to meet them?" I asked "The criminals I mean"
"The two criminals are a one Mr Markus Leyano, and Miss Ashley Rook. Two skilled and capable fighters, who've had some bad luck in the past. We're working on a program to fix that, and you're going to help us" We reached our destination, an interrogation room, complete with one sided glass. Three people were sat aroung the table.
The first, was a girl, with her head on the table, sobbing. as we walked in, she looked up, revealing large red eyes, with mascara running down her tanned cheeks. The second, was a white haired boy, dressed in basic clothes, a hoodie, T-shirt and jeans, with a bulletproof vest and bandolier, containing several dust crystals. He sat strangely straight and quiet, opening and closing the fingers of his right arm. The third wasa dark skinned, dark haired, and dark clothed boy, just older than me. He leaned back casually, tossing a knife in the air, which the other boy eyed warily. Wolf ears on his head twitched every once and a while.
"Morpheus, Tex, this is Fen Kuro. One of the first to back the idea of criminals becoming hunters" The dark boy waved "The other two I've already talked about"
"What're they in for?" Tex asked, walking around to put a hand on the crying girls shoulder
"Markus here is in for Murder, theft, assault, tresspassing, grand theft auto, arson, and excessive speeding. Ashley was convicted for arson..."
"It wasnt my fault!" The girl wailed "I've done nothing wrong!" she sobbed and put her head in her hands again, Tex looked at the officer and scowled
"We should get this over with, I dont feel comfortable keeping this girl here" Fen said "As for the hitman, I don't know, not my area of expertise..."
"You dont have an area of expertise" I turned around to see another boy stood by the door. A blue haired Faunus, in a brown leather jacket. "Finding these guys is my job Fen. Anyway, he's a killer, yes, but there's no evidence he did them by choice, since he cant exactly speak..."
I looked over at Markus. He smiled, and pulled down his collar to reveal a deep scar across his neck. I must have flinched, because he slipped off his right glove to show off his metal arm.
"Hey, this is my thing Nat, I only invited you to help me restrain this guy" Fen pointed out
"Anyway, you four, are going to do something for us, you're going to go to Beacon, and become huntsmen and huntresses. If you don't, you go back to your nice cosy cell. Sound like a fair deal?"
