Chapter 4: Midnight scuffle

{Death/Ash} "Example" This type of text is spoken within the mind of Deathands.

As I drew Ash in front of me I saw a man with dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. He is wearing a black bowler hat with a red band and a small feather, and has on black eyeliner. (Makeup much?)He is also wearing a red-lined white suit and a small gray scarf. He has black gloves with rounded sleeves, as well as long black pants and black shoes.

Evidently I assumed he was the one in charge, more evidence for that came when he spoke.

"Okayyyyy. Get them!" He spoke while pointing at us with his cane. The eight lackeys then ran out at us. Four split off to attack the girl while the remaining four charged at me. The one leading the charge swung his sword at me, I dodged at counter strike with Ash.

The two swords clashed and a small fire was shot at the attacker. The fire went straight at his eyes, he dropped his sword and went to shield his eyes. With that I moved forward and kicked his feet out from under him, prepared to strike him in the chest.

However I was cutoff when I was shot at, the bullet scratched and bounced off of my armour. I turned to him and ran at him, still trying to shoot me in my chest. I jumped up and spun in the air, putting my right foot out farther and then kicked him in the chest. He fell to the ground and again before I could finish him off I was interrupted.

The other two got smart and attacked me together, not seeing a faster option I drew Death and as I did a trail of green followed. I slashed at both swords as hard as I could, which cut their swords in half, and sending them back into the building. The girl and I had just gotten rid of both of our attackers at the same time, when the guy walked over to us.

"Well you two represent true believers." He paused as he took out his cigar and dropped it. "Well Red and Knighty I think we can all say that is has been an eventful evening. And as much as I'd love to stick around, I am afraid that this is where we part ways." He spoke while raising his cane and pointing it at us, he then fired it in between us.

I rolled to the left while the girl did a move of some kind, the smoke then filled the area and when it cleared I saw the man climbing a ladder a ways away. The girl looked over to the store owner and asked him a question, however I couldn't hear it as both Death and Ash were talking in my mind.

{Death} "Hey HE IS RUNNING AFTER HIM!" {Ash} "Why we don't even know if we did the right thing, we could have just broken any number of laws." I made up my mind and ran after him. The girl did the same as me and we got to the top of the building. "HEY!" The girl spoke out at him, while I lightly let out my breath from climbing the ladder so fast. I heard him mumble something but he was to far away. Just then a ship rose from the other side of the building.

{Death} "Where the hell did that come from, I mean it didn't make a noise, and we were in that alley like ten minutes ago?" {Ash} "That is a good question, maybe it was just really quiet when it hovers in one place." He spoke with uncertainty. "Uhgg would you two be quiet I can't hear what's going on!" I yelled at them, and focused on the guy again, he threw one of the crystals at us and raised his gun/cane again.

{Ash} "I assume it is explosive sir" I reacted just in time as the maniac fired. I rolled out of the way, but instead of the building exploding, the blast seemed to be withheld. I looked over to see a purple glyph in the air, there was now a woman standing there. She moved something on her face and then used her ?Weapon? to launch purple streams of energy at the ship.

She shot a blast above the ship and a storm appeared, with it came its own rain of energy that impaled the ship in multiple places. A woman concealed by the shadows walked out into the opening of the ship. An orange and red glow formed on her arms and hand, and she fired a blast of her own at us, the woman in purple deflected it, and then a blast came from beneath her.

{Death} "So magic is 100% confirmed here?" The woman in purple then formed an arrow with the broken energy and pieced of the building and shot it at the woman with fire. The lady shot the arrow, but it reformed and bounced off the ship, it then split into three tendrils and were going to hit the ship, but Orange seemed to destroy them.

{Ash} "This is confusing me who are these people?" {Death} I don't know but I like the girl with fire, she knows how to turn up the heat." {Ash} "That was a terrible pun" "Hey be quiet!" I grumbled, and refocused just a little too late to see the red circle beneath me, energy then shot from the circle, hitting me up in the air. My world turned black as I plummeted to the ground, the last thing I felt was my back hitting the hard pavement.

YAY! I am back on track with writing. {Death}"Whoever said you were on track?} Shut up and get ready for the next chapter. Anyways hope you enjoyed this chapter, I tried to make it longer, and accurate, of course with my own twist on things. If you see anything I can do better on feel free to speak, criticism is allowed.

Anyways…..
