OF HUNTSMEN AND TRAITORS
TEAM DMND
A wind danced across the ground from the west, stirring his heavy black coat to reveal the crimson interior. A pair of revolvers hung from his belt. A small glow danced across the edge of his sight, a friendly. He turned slightly and watched his teammate land next to him, his long-barreled rifle in hand. The newcomer was taller than average, but not by much. His long black hair danced in the wind as he stood. He handed his rifle to the man in the long coat he pointed to a nearby building.
"Fourth floor down, third window in from the left." Nodding, the first man man moved his black and white hair out from behind his eyes as held the scope op to his eye; two men were having a heated discussion over an open case of glowing crystals. Handing the rifle back to the larger man he rolled his shoulders, the paldrons on his coat shifting with his movement. Touching a small com piece on his ear his soft voice was transmitted to the two other members of his team.
"We have confirmation of the sale. Madam Schnee was correct, one of her men is selling stolen goods. Two dealers, a lot of guards, we're going in hot."
He gestured at his teammate and the man dropped into a prone position, a pair of tripods folding out of his rifle as he went. The long coated man walked to the edge of the building. "Longshot will fire an azure cloud round. When he shoots, breach the outer room and remove the guards. Check in, Priestess, Knockout."
"Priestess here, ready and waiting, and congratulations, you managed to avoid the jokes for once." A crisp educated accent came back through the com, and the long coated man smiled. He pictured her standing perfectly straight, a pair of her Crosses in her right hand, her left hand pressing her link. The moment she finished talking she would grab the third link, just a little too fast for someone so calm.
"Knockout is ready for battle Jester." The leader shook his head. He could hear her twirling her axe, more than ready to knock the door down and go straight into shotgun mode.
Longshot chambered his round and sent a click through the round, he was ready.
A grin split Jester's face and he dropped off the building. He twirled his pistols in his hand and blasted himself forward. A white circle appeared in front of him, and he heard the rifle fire behind him. He bounced off of another circle and in through the shattering window. At the same time he heard the outer doors of the apartment the door blast inwards. With a flick of his wrist, Jester's pistols shifted into wazakashi and he went to work. He danced across the room, sliding under and around their shots as he sliced through the barrels of a few of their guns. He switched one weapon back into a pistol and fired black crystals at guards across the room. His other blade never stopped moving, deflecting bullets and crystals. With first impressions made, he stood up and walked towards the executive with a bounce in his step, as if listening to a song no one else could hear. He slipped the sword back into its sheath and pointed the gun at the man sitting in front of him. The business man laughed at Jester.
"Nice try kid, but you're out. I, on the other hand…" A derringer shot out of the executives sleeve and into his hand. "always have an ace up my sleeve." The gun bounced from the man's hand, followed by the retort of a rifle. The remaining guards looked nervously around the room and the few still holding onto their weapons slowly lowered them to the floor.
"And I have a guardian angel." Jester flicked the wazakashi from its sheath into the other man's chair. "Stay there."
Seeing the frantic nodding of the buyer, Jester walked through and knocked on the door to the rest of the apartment. It opened revealing a pair of women and a room full of burly guards sprawled across the floor. The woman in the lead entered brushing her strawberry blonde hair out of her face. There were several openings on her weapon belt.
"What took you Jester?" the woman's voice would have been cold but for the slight smile on her lips.
"Oh leave your boyfriend alone, Priestess. He had to deal with the stupid ones," the other woman was short and had black hair. Her puffy tail bounced and one of her red and black pointy ears twitched. She spun her axe like a baton with a wide smile on her face.
"WE'RE NOT DATING!" Two voices shouted at the grinning faunus. The girl snickered and a light chuckle came over the com.
"Shut it Longshot. And remember to shoot anyone that moves." A series of quick shots and the thunk of heavy bodies hitting the ground was the only answer that Jester was given. Jester walked over to the now sobbing executive and grabbed him by his expensive suit. He twisted around and tossed the man back into his old seat. He stared down the executive while he retrieved his sword and shifted it back into a pistol. He cracked the back of the gun and sent the spent crystal falling to the ground. He remained silent as he loaded new shells into both of his weapons.
"Now then gentlemen. The police should be here momentarily and trust me when I say you want to stay on our good side until then."
One of the men tried to move his arm without being noticed. A loud shot rang through the room and both men looked back to see a spear head embedded in the far wall. Their gazes followed the rope trailing back from the head and saw a man sliding into the building. He calmly stood up and brushed the dust off his jacket before joining the girls on the far side of the room.
"You two haven't been paying attention…" Jester looked almost sad as he stood and looked out the window. "And such a pity too, the police are here. Well a Huntsmen's job is never done. I'll go talk with the officer. If you'd all grab the case and Mr. Dirty-Business here, we'll meet back up at… the…" Looking out the window Jester sighed and dropped his shoulders, there across the gap a coffee mug in one hand and a cane over the other arm was the white haired man in a green suit. "Well, it would appear the team DMND is going back to school."
