It was a typical winter night. Snow blanketed the streets and the rooftops but that just made it the more challenging.
Venus de Milo was on patrol with Casey and April. They leap across the rooftops with some difficulty. They were nearing April's home when they heard the sounds of metal clashing against metal. They make a detour towards the sounds. They weren't believing what they were seeing.
A rooftop full of Foot-bots were jumping around, obviously fighting someone. When they saw one get stabbed they saw a man in armour, although they couldn't see the face due to a helmet. They saw another Foot-bot coming up behind him with a katana but it fell to the side with an arrow embedded in it.
"Wow, nice shot." Casey mumbled from underneath his hockey mask.
"Want to join in?" asked April.
"It's not our fight." Venus stated.
"These people are fighting the Foot. Ever heard the saying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?" April questioned Venus.
"No" answered Venus truthfully.
"Now, let's fight the Foot and we'll tell you later." Casey interjected.
They leapt to the roof to find chaos in the battlefield. Short-circuiting pieces of bot parts and pieces of bricks were strewn across the rooftop. The trio assisted the armoured man in fending off the bots, Fishface and Rahzar. They saw another man in a cape and hood, holding a dagger in his hand. The fight was finished but before the mysterious men could thank the trio, Karain appeared.
"Time to end this." Karai spat out with as much hatred as possible toward the armoured man. She was replied by silence followed by a shift of armour. They rushed upon each other and clashed swords. Karai tried many times to hit the man she was duelling but was always blocked with a shield.
"Coward! Fight properly!" Karai shouted in hate.
"I am" was all that was replied back to her.
Karai was stunned. Out of all the times she faced this one person, she only received silence as an answer. She let her guard down as a result of her shock and the male fighter took his chance to take Karai out by hitting her with the side of his sword, effectively knocking her out.
The hooded one came over. "We thank you for the kind assistance."
"Why are you fighting the Foot?" Venus asked.
"Our two factions have been fighting for years." The hooded one answered rather bluntly.
"What is your faction?" April asked, getting very curious very quickly.
"Either we tell you in the future or you look to the past for answers" the armoured one spoke, but they couldn't hear him well because of the visor. After that statement, the duo ran off and disappeared into the night. That's when they saw that both men had a grey tail. They were mutants.
"Well, that was kinda weird." Casey stated.
"Let's head home. I think that patrol is over." Venus declared.
The trio went their separate ways. Venus to the sewers while April and Casey went to their houses.
Mysterious location in New York.
The two fighters were walking down a hallway to their shared room, passing their sleeping friends along the way. They didn't speak a word to each other until they got into their room.
"That went really well." the hooded man said
"That is coming from your perspective, Lucas. I would've said that it went ok." the armoured one replied, keeping his helmet on.
Lucas took off his hood to reveal his face, an alpine wolf with no battle scars. "You have a high standard for fights, Zane."
Zane took off his helmet and put it on a bust, to reveal another arctic wolf with various bruises and faded scars on his face. Lucas groaned at the sight.
"When will you not get hurt in a fight?" Lucas asked.
"Most likely. . . never" Zane replied with a hint of truth. Zane has never come out of a fight unscathed "but at least there ain't any cuts."
"True, true"
After that small conversation, they took the rest of their equipment off and went to sleep. They dreamt of more fighting.
Because they are fight seekers.
