Chapter 2: Robbery


Vale, noon

Peter and Caleb are walking around the city to see many people planning on putting on decorations tomorrow for the Vytal Festival that's coming up. Peter is still thinking on how Torchwick's and the White Fang's partnership came to be. That is until Caleb spotted a woman looking towards them. Peter smiled as she smiled back. As she walked past them, Caleb stared at her only saying, "Man, that ass." Peter made his arm hit Caleb's, "OW! What was that for?" "You have a girlfriend, you pervert," Peter responds. Caleb replies, "So...doesn't mean I can't have any fun." Peter rolls his eyes and continues thinking about his encounter with the White Fang last night. He also looks around and apparently no one is talking about it. "Kinda weird that nobody saw them last night," Peter says to Caleb as he responds, "Kinda? It is weird!" As they walk past a corner they suddenly bump into a girl. "My bad," both of them respond. The ginger haired girl responded, "It's okay. Accidents happen, you know." Both boys looked at her strangely as they payed more attention to the girl's green eyes. She speaks, "Well, salutations.." Caleb is confused, "Salu...what?" Peter says to Caleb, "Salutations is a fancy way of saying 'hello'." Ohh...," says Caleb as he then talks to the girl, "Well, hello to you too. Name's Caleb. That's Peter. And you are?" "My name is Penny. It's a pleasure to meet you." Peter then says, "Well, sorry for bumping into you but we got to go, see you later." Penny looked at him, "So we can be friends?" The two boys looked at each other, "What?" "Sorry..I didn't mean to be..." Peter calms her down, "No, no, no, it's okay." 'Man, she looks like she needs a friend.' Peter then says, "We can be friends." Caleb's jaw dropped and stares at Peter. 'I may regret this,' Peter thinks to himself. Penny looks a Peter with wide eyes and then, "YAY! We're FRIENDS!" 'Never mind. I regret this!' Penny speaks, "Well, I won't waste anymore of you boys' time, so... later friends!" She walks away happily as Caleb stares at Peter, still jaw dropped. Peter speaks, "Yeah, I regret that." Caleb replies, "no...shit...IDIOT!" Peter ignores that insult as they continue walking.

Peter and Caleb then see another dust shop as a suspicious looking person is investigating the shop. Peter looks at the person as the person just walks off. "Another dust shops is gonna get robbed." Caleb looks at Peter, "What? Just because of that creepy looking dude checking out that shop." Peter relies, "Well, unless he wants to find better clothing, he isn't finding it in a DUST shop." Caleb looks unconvinced. "Forget it," Peter says, irritated. He then remembers about that store that was robbed...a few months ago.

*Flashback, A Few Months Ago, The Streets*

Peter runs along the rooftops, to see if there is any crime to stop today. He then spots at a narrow street a familiar criminal. He says to himself, "Well, if it isn't the friendly neighborhood criminal." Peter starts to silently follow Roman Torchwick on the rooftops, as Peter sees him entering the "From Dust till Dawn" shop. "Better get ready." As he was about to jump down into the street, one of Torchwick's minions flew through the window and landed outside, with a girl in red on top. 'WHAT...THE...FUCK?' The red girl pulled out her scythe weapon and easily beat the remaining henchmen. "Damn...she's good" 'Better than good, you dumbass!' Roman steps out, fires a shot at the girl, and climbs up a ladder. "Better get him." However, the girl beat Peter to the rooftop. "Damn man, she is very good." Peter hides on the roof next to it and then sees an airship in front of Torchwick. Roman enters and shoots a round at the red girl. However, she is protected by a woman who starts to fire back. "Where did she come from?" Suddenly, from the open door of the ship, Peter sees a familiar face that angers him. 'CINDER! That fucking bitch!' Cinder fights with the woman as Peter is nearly knocked out by a debris. "SHIT!" After he witnesses that "magic show" and ship flies off, the woman orders the girl to come with her. 'Is that girl a vigilante like me? It can't be, she's too young! Well, she's in trouble now. Better get going to see of that robbery was a distraction.' Peter goes off to continue patrolling.

*Present*

"PETER," Caleb yells at Peter as he snaps out of it. "Sorry," says Peter, "I just remembered the time in which I saw that other dust shop robbed a few months ago." "Ohhhh...," Caleb said, having already been told about it before. Peter and Caleb continue walking as people are already putting small decorations. Caleb speaks, "Hanna may come into the city tomorrow, so..just saying." Peter nods, understanding him. Caleb then says, "So...any progress on finding Blake." "Nothing yet. Who knows where she is?" They continue walking to see if there is any more trouble.

Night

Peter in his armor waits in the dark to see if anyone attempts to rob the store. Suddenly, a bunch of henchmen come and enter the store. "That's my cue!" Peter then enters the store to see the clerk held at gunpoint. "HEY...leave him alone!" The henchmen then point at Peter. "Crap!" They fire and Peter dodges the bullets. Peter transforms his duel swords into SMG's and fires back, killing two out of the six henchmen. "Two down, six to go!" He fire his gun but misses them. Miraculously, none hit the clerk. Peter sees a henchman escape with dust so he jumps through the window and tackles him. "No way, bitch!" The henchman suddenly shoots and hits Peter's stomach. The henchman shouts, "I got him. [shoots at Peter's stomach again] I GOT HIM!" Peter shouts in pain as the henchman shoots the leg, causing Peter to stumble. Peter is now in major pain and groaning on the floor. The henchman goes to shoot the final bullet but Peter grabs the man's hand a crushes it, letting out a huge scream of pain. Peter lets go of the man's now completely broken and bleeding hand. Peter stands up, now with his wounds healed and turns to face the rest of the henchmen. Peter's face is now complete with pure anger and suddenly comes a more demonic voice from Peter...

"NOW...YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!"

With that, Peter launched himself toward the man, crashes into the store and...

**BOOM***

...causes a giant impact inside, like a bomb blowing up in the store.

The surviving men grab the bodies of the dead men with the dust and leave the now destroyed store with an unconscious Peter. After they leave, Peter wakes up and looks at the store and the still alive clerk, who is in shock. Peter speaks to him in a normal voice...

"I fucked up, didn't I?" The clerk nods. Peter lets out a sigh of defeat and says out loud, "I hate my life."
