Chapter 1: The Plots of Frogs, Mice, Wolfs, Weapons and the one who leads them.
The wind blows slowly though the cold, damp hallway as the lights flickered with the signs of their last breaths on this world. A man slowly walked down the hallway towards the glowing light of the door on the other end. He was a short man, dressed in all black with a long pointed nose and a top hat perched on his head.
Four months, he thought, four months since the defeat of the Kishin Asura. Four months, since the fall of the organization Arachnophobia and the end of his life's work. Four months, since the death of his leader and one and only love, Lady Archne. He stopped suddenly in front of the door. The thought of his former master and mistress filled him with a deep, longing sense of sadness and grief. However, these feeling were suddenly replaced with feelings that were bubbling up from under the sadness and grief. Feeling of hatred and rage towards the ones whom were responsible for destroying all he had worked for in life. The ones who cause the sacrifice of Lady Archne to the Kishin to be in vain. They would pay, those at the DWMA would pay, especially those meisters and weapons who landed the killing blows to Asura, they would all pay. The man suddenly smile that these thoughts, four month he had been planning and today all those plans would come to transpire, and they would all pay with more that just their life's. He moved forward, pushed opened the door and walked into the room.
"It's about time, you dam old man". Someone said.
The man focused on another man on the other side of the table in the center of the room. This man was taller with spikey light brown hair, grey eyes and strangely sharp pointed teeth and a piece of metal on the bridge of his nose. He wore a sleeve-less white button down collar shirt with blue jeans, a pair of brown work boots and a pair of large brown gloves that reached almost to his shoulder.
The man frowned and shook his head. "Giriko" He said, "How many times do I have to tell you to not call me old man. It is astonishing just how unrefined you can be."
Giriko slam his hands on the table in front of him and screamed, "You want to see unrefined old man, I will show you unrefined"
The man was smiling now and said calmly "Bring it on saw boy, I will enjoy draining you of all your blood."
At this, Giriko jump over the table and was charging at the man, his legs beginning to circle with a rapidly moving chain, when suddenly a voice shouted out "Giriko! Mosquito! We did not come here to fight with each other."
Both men stopped, just as Giriko's leg, whirling with the sound his chains, was about to come down on Mosquito's head and Mosquito's nose had become longer with the point just about to pierce Giriko's stomach. Both men regained their composer and stared to the left of them at the man who had stopped their fight. He was a big, bulky man with shot spiked black hair and a strange eye that looked like some sort of magic symbol with the word NoFUTHER over it. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a white design on his right shoulder, a black and white horizontally striped long-sleeve shirt wrapped around his waist, the same black and white striped pattern on his pants and strangely a ball and chain shackled to his right ankle.
Mosquito finally broke the silence "Quite right Free, we are here with a common goal in mind, after all". He shot a dirty look at Giriko and Giriko gave him an even dirtier look.
"Well, Now that you two are done seeing who has more testosterone than the other, can we get down to business. Ribbit." Came a voice from further on in the room. All three men now turned and focused on a small group of women who had stepped out of the shadows.
There were six of them in the group, five of them were the same height and the sixth only a bit taller than the rest. The taller one of the six was the one who had spoken up; she was small and skinny with long bluish-silver hair and black eyes. She wore a black and white polka doted dress with a grey long sleeved shirt and black leggings under it. She also wore a pair of knee high boots and strangest of all a large orange hat that appeared to have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. She was flanked by five small figures all with bright pink hair and bucked teeth. Their all also wore the exacted same outfit, a long black and white dress with stripes running up the length of the dress and a cowboy styled hat that looked like the head of a mouse.
Mosquito smiled and said "Ah, Eruka. I see you and the Mizune sisters are back from your scouting mission. How did it go?"
"It when well" she said "We got into Death City without a problem and found and followed the targets. Here the information you wanted. Ribbit." She reached into her dress and pulled out a piece of folded paper which she than handed to Mosquito.
Mosquito took the paper from Eruka and unfolded it. He read it quickly and than a smile spread across his face.
"Excellent" He said. He folded the paper back up and placed it in his pocket. He turn to the rest of the group and clapped his hands together and said "Well, now that we are all here, Lets all take a seat and get down to business."
The group of people slowly moved back towards the table in the center of the room. Everyone had found a seat at the table and had sat down, all except Mosquito who had disappeared into a corner of the room and came back with a handful of papers and a large chalkboard. He stopped in front of the table and placed all the papers on it and the chalkboard behind him. He than face the table and started to speak.
"Welcome everyone" he said "As you all know today marks the four month anniversary of the day the Kishin fell and the day we all became a band of wanted criminals on the run for our very life's." He stopped and looked up to see that many of them were giving him some not so friendly looks. This only made him smile as he continued, "Yes, it was four months ago today that as the DWMA was sweeping through what remains of the final battle ground that me, accompany by Mr. Giriko ran into the seven of you and together we fled the battleground." At this point most of the group looked as if they wanted to flat out kill him. "However" he said looking strait at the group "That is the past and in the past four months we have come together to form a plan to get our revenge on the DWMA and those who have wronged us." He was now practically staring them down "Now" he said sternly "If any of you wish not to continue with the plan, speak now and leave the room." The group was silence except of a lot of cheeing coming for the Mizune's. Mosquito looked over to Eruka with a questioning look on his face.
Eruka sighed and began to translate what the Mizune's were saying. "They say that they will not back down from a chance to get back at the DWMA and avenge their sister."
Mosquito smiled, not only at what the Mizune's said but also at the look of guilt in Eruka's eyes as she said it. Mosquito knew what had really happened to the oldest Mizune sister, thanks to the surveillance system that Arachnophobia had set up but Eruka did not know that he knew. However, he will be more that willing to use it against her if she when against the plan and Eruka would most likely compile because the Mizune's were the only friends she had left with her and the Mizune's being outcasts from the witches.
Mosquito snap out of his thoughts and looked at the group with a fiery look in his eyes. "Alright" He said placing his hands on the table "You all know the plan, everything is ready to go and thanks to the information that Eruka and the Mizune sisters got earlier today, we now know the locations of the targets later today" He looked up from the papers on the table to the people sitting there. He than moved to the chalkboard and flipped it over to reveal a map of Death City. He that picked up a pointer and said to the group "Here's how it will go tonight, target one will be here…" he said indicating to a building on the map "between 4:00 and 4:30, three of the Mizune sisters will infiltrate the building, locate the target and capture the target". He looked over to the Mizune sisters to see if they all understood, they all nodded and he continued. "Next, target two will be taking this route from point A to point B." he said pointing to the route between the two buildings "Eruka, you and the other two Mizune sisters which intercept the target here" He pointed to a point on the map "and capture the target." He paused for a breath and there said " Lastly, Target 3 and Target 4 will be in this building" he pointed at the building on the map "this will be tricky because the building will be packed with people, so Giriko and Free" He said as they looked towards him "you both will need to sneaky and them from the crowd and take them out." He stopped and looked at the group of people in front of him and smiled "Any questions"
Eruka immediately spoke up and said "Yah, I have a question. Ribbit. How are the Mizune's and I suppose to capture anyone if we can't use magic in Death City. Ribbit" Mosquito smiled and when back to the corner of the room and came back with a box. He placed the box on the table and opened it to reveal a number of small bags, which he passed out to the group. " Inside each bag" he said to the group "is a map to you location, a very powerful sleeping agent, a two-way communications radio and a special talisman made by a voodoo priest in the bayous of Louisiana that with act as a soul protect but with still allow you to use your magic." The group of people in front of him looked shocked at what they were just given.
Mosquito finally got everyone's attention again when he said, "Well, if there are no more questions. Lets get going people." Slowly, everyone around the table got up and left the room leaving Mosquito alone. He grinned widely and said too himself "Yes my puppets, go do my bidding."
