The dark midnight sky above the city, hanging stars across the sprawling black sky line. Beneath the streetlights, a man walked along, carefully and cautiously. His eyes shifted around, uneasily, up and down the street. He was aware, but not aware enough. A figure was tracking his every move from a rooftop. "Got eyes," she announced. The figure, a light blue rabbit, stood with a quiver of arrows strapped to her back, her eyes hidden by the hood of her cloak. The moonlight glinted off of the hilt of her sword. Her name was Blue, a fitting but simple name. She reached back and drew an arrow, stringing it to the long bow she was carrying. The man, meanwhile. Stopped as a car pulled up next to him. Several other men got out, each carrying weapons. "Should I engage?" There was some static in her earpiece. "Negative," came the response. "I'm still a few seconds out." Blue scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Well hurry your ass up." Down below, the man opened the briefcase he was carrying on the hood of the black sedan, showing off its contents to the armed men, who nodded in approval. Suddenly, an engine roared from down the street.
A motorcycle suddenly tore around the corner, heading down towards them at full throttle. The driver was a red fox, similarly armed to Blue, who went by the name Red. The men around the car shouted in alarm and tried to take a defensive position. One aimed his pistol at him, but the motorcycle's headlights blinded him. He aimed his pistol at the motorcycle, hoping to land a blind shot. "On second thought take your shot," Red said into his earpiece. Almost as soon as he said this Bleu let her arrow fly. The arrow hit the man with the pistol square in the shoulder, causing him to yell and stumble forward with pain. He looked up and his eyes widened to see that he was now directly in the path of the motorcycle.
Red jumped off the motorcycle seconds before impact, a sword ready in his hand. As he landed he thrust the sword into the chest of another man, who screamed and fell to the ground. A wolf with a scar under his eye raised his tommy gun and began firing it at Red. Suddenly, Blue lept off the building, landing on the wolf and driving a knife into his chest. The wolf screamed as he collapsed on the ground. Red jumped up and grabbed a man with two pistols, slamming his face into the car hood. The man with the briefcase cowered behind the car, his eyes panicky as he tried to find an escape. Unsettled by what he had seen, he ran down the street towards a nearby alley. Meanwhile, the last man, a tall pig with an eyepatch, growled and drew a gun, firing at Red as he jumped into the car.
Red rolled his eyes and shot an arrow through the glass, hitting the pig in his throat. Blue shot another arrow, and the man with the briefcase screamed and fell down, by now a few yards down the street. Red walked over and opened the briefcase, its contents still intact. "That was easy," he remarked. Blue rolled her eyes as sirens wailed in the distance. "Whatever happened to clean and simple?" Red gazed at the bloody scene: the car with a shattered front window, bodies strewn around, and a bloody motorcycle tire track on the ground. "Well, it's better than what we did at Al's Cafe." Blue shook her head and laughed. "That's true." A wailing siren in the distance grew closer, prompting Blue to look up. "We should go." Red nodded. As the two walked away, the man who had to briefcase staggered up. He gasped and fell to his knees, in pain from the arrow in his back. He slowly looked up to see a figure in front of him. "Please…" he begged. The figure in front of him said nothing but drew a sword. "No…. Please…" After a few minutes the figure walked away, wiping blood off of his sword as the starlight bounced off of the mask that concealed his face.
A/N: Hey guys! I've shifted gears a little bit, and I've decided to try writing an action-ish story. I tried writing one with Cloaks and Daggers, but I sort of gave up on that. Don't worry though, I'm still going to be working on the sequels to Bluer Skies and When December Comes. Not sure how this is going to go, but I guess we'll see.
