The Black Fox
Chapter 1- Children of the Grave
There exists a markswoman in the Rio de Janeiro underworld. She's a night owl with a buxom frame and two heavy guns to compliments the ones on her chest. She sits on the rooftops of downtown, smoking and drinking, waiting for her pray to show up unknowingly.
With her two Automag Vs at her side, this gun-girl has the patiance of a saint mixed in with a shooting technique that has made her legend with the ICPO and every other country she has made the wanted list of. Her name is Maria, Maria a Raposa Preta (translation 'the Black Fox').
Our story begins with Revy and Rock making yet another pick-up for Hotel Moscow. Revy had a run-in with this number two years ago and took a .50 caliber round to the shoulder. Orders from Boss Balalaika were as followed; if she doesn't come quietly, shoot her on sight.
At a local downtown eatery, Revy saw the former Brazilian Army Brat sitting at the counter drinking a stein of lager and enjoying a decent meal of churassco meat, sweetbreads (brains), and heart-of-palm, "Did Balalaika send you?" Maria said with with her mouth full of meat
"Yes, um...are you Maria Carvalho?"
She swallowed her food and took a swig of beer, "Sim, eu sou; que posso eu fazer para você hoje, senhor? ("Yes, i am, what can I do for you today, sir?") She said just like your average jane on the streets of town. She looked at Revy and smiled, "oh hi Revy, Como va você?" ("how are you doing?")
Revy pointed her Beretta 9mm at the back of Maria's head while her target just leisurely cut herself another bit of meat, "Enough with the fuckin' pleasantries, you're comin' with us," Maria spun in her chair and placed some money on the table to pay the bill but at the same time she pointed her large caliber pistol at Revy's forehead.
"You're lucky I was merciful two years ago, now i'm going to split your head open," the two girls looked at each other, Revy had a large grin while Maria growled as she cocked back the hammer of her gun. The crowds of people inside ran for the door while the bartender, a young teenage girl named Marissa, pulled out a Benelli M4 shotgun from under the counter.
"Oi, if you girls are going to kill each other, do it outside before I send both you girls to hell with your heads blown off," She said threatening the two gun-girls with her military issue shotgun. The two of them stepped outside with pistols drawn.
Maria and Revy look almost exactly alike but they do have their differences. Maria has a darker tan and her boobs are 2cm bigger. She has a tribal tattoo on the left side of her face. Her hair is shorter and spikier than Revy's plus she wears pocketless bellbottom jeans which hugged her thighs like a second layer of skin rather than short shorts.
"So Rock ya' got any dirt on this bitch?"
Rokuro got down to business showing her Maria's ICPO record, "She's known as the 'Black Fox' here in Rio, she's killed over 250 people and has every crime syndicate in the world on her ass,"
"If you know shit like that, i may have to kill you too, honey," Maria noted pointing the second pistol at Rock's forehead playfully. Now with her right-hand gun still locked on Revy's forehead, it was time for her to get down to business, "now then, it's time to finish the job i put on hold, bitch,"
"I've been waiting two years for this day," Revy said pointing her gun at Maria's heart, "I hope you got a death wish, because i'm sending you to hell full of lead," Maria actually put her gun back in it's holster which surprised Revy,"Huh? what the fuck are doing?"
Maria took up a capoeira stance, moving her arms and legs to the beat flowing in her head, "Let's do this the fun way, i'm sure that fist of yours packs just as much power as your pistol," Revy grinned liking Maria's style and put her pistol back at her side.
Revy looked at her wierdly like she was some kind of fucking moron since she was unfamiliar with Brazilian martial arts,"You're right, kicking the fuck out of you would be alot more fun,"
Now Maria is a very pretty girl, but Revy is going to find out the hard way that looks can be decieving. In a whirlwind of kicks and gymnastic movements, Revy was getting the beating of her lifetime. Revy did manage to score a few good punches but Maria just hit back even harder with her feet clad in combat boots.
"Ha ha good luck sipping booze through a straw, bitch!" Maria taunted not ceasing to grant Revy any mercy, every kick she delivered to Revy's body and face felt like getting hit by a train, "i'll send you to hell after i break every bone in your body!"
"Oh, what the fuck did i get myself into this time?" Revy thought looking at the burning fire in Maria's eyes. Revy's face was battered and bruised with blood streaming down her chin, "is this skank on steriods or is this just a fucking nightmare?"
With a final kick, The Black Fox knocked Revy in the jaw and threw her against a brickwall of a nearby building. Slowly but steadily, Revy picked herself back up while spitting out a couple teeth. Meanwhile, Balalaika was watching the show from the middle of the street with Boris and her other comrades.
"Humph, still as spunky as ever," Balalaika noted watching Revy get fucked up, "sigh...looks like its time for me to stop the show," She fired a couple rounds into the frey to stop the fight. Maria turned around and shot at Balalaika with a single round. The bullet curved and knocked the cigar out of the Mafia boss' hand with the accuracy of a guided missile.
"Holy shit..." Revy said in awe seeing first hand that the rumors about the Black Fox were true. Maria holstered her right pistol and kept her left one out in case someone tries to pump her guts full of lead.
"I was smoking that...," said Boss Balalaika calmly irritated. Her comrades pointing their AK-74s at Maria. The Brazilian girl remained unphased in the face of so many Kalashnikov rifles. She pulled a cigarette out of her pocket and placed it in her mouth.
"You're lucky that round didn't hit the temple," Maria noted lighting herself a smoke and putting her pistol back in it's holster. Balalaika lightly nodded to Maria's sense of mercy.
"I should thank you for your mercy, now that i know the rumors about you are true, Maria Sayumi Carvalho," Balalaika and Maria looked at each other and smiled, "it's funny, i didn't really think Revy had a chance against you,"
"Oh, she's strong and very stubborn like a tapir," She joked with a hand on her hip and twirling her pistol in her left index finger, "so what do you want from me of all people?" Maria asked
"Come back with me to Hotel Moscow and i'll fill you in," She replied, calling back her men, "lower your weapons, comrades, she is not a threat to us although I can't say as much for your skills with a pistol,"
