"Author suddenly is thrown out of screen rolling from the stairs"
THIS IS NOT *OUCH!* WHAT I WAS *OUCH!* TALKING ABOUT *SHIT!* WHEN I SAID ROLLING!
Train Raid
"Blake…it's time…"
"…Ok…"
Turns out, Schnee contractors were still a pain in the ass, but to the Warlock relief the pay for the mission definitely compensated the annoyance. But it also made him growl that he had to stay in the cargo hold like that…
Krono was getting suspicious about the whole ordeal, but didn't say anything; the contractor told him that the cargo must be protected with his life, pfft, as always these Schnee people were always thinking themselves above other persons, if only they made some dirty deal he would wipe them from Vytal faster than one could say Nova Bomb.
By the time the train departed from the station Krono was already familiar with the cabin he was supposed to 'protect'. and he decided to pass the time by sharpening the blade of his new Void Thorn, vaguely he wondered how was his friend/self proclaimed rival doing.
"Heh…knowing Sun he's probably driving someone up the wall with his antics, that idiot…"
A small smirk appeared behind his helmet, but it was quickly put down when he felt some tremors rock the cabin, and thanks to the receptors in-built on the helmet he detected the sound of fighting that was coming closer to his position.
He Blinked up to the rafters out of sight when two intruders burst out from the door, making him narrow his eyes at them:
Two teens, at least one or two years younger than him, a red haired male with a katana at his waist, posture indicated that he was at least very adept with the style of Iaijutsu. The white mask over his eyes marked him as a WF member much to his annoyance, it didn't help that the scanner of the visor classified the intruder as a mid-level threat, (Lvl 19).
The other one was a black haired female with a cleaver of some kind but her threat level was lower than her partner (Lvl 17); she was rather attractive in his eyes, that feline-like grace in her step and natural beauty was very appealing, but he buried those thoughts in the deep part of his mind, after all they were here for the cargo and it was his job to stop them.
"…I'll set the charges…"
Krono's grip on Void Thron tightened at this, they planned to destroy the train? there were other people here, sure some worked for Schnee Company but they were innocent!
"I cannot let you go any further White Fang scum!"
The two faunus turned a bit startled by the distorted voice, only they experience managed to safe their lives and their necks when a blur passed along with the singing noise of steel cutting air. they dived to the sides and finally caught sight of their assailant: A man in strange combat gear *[Maw Eclipse plus Dire Ahamkara Helmet] and a gun/blade that oozed ill intent.
"Who are you!?" Demanded Adam, Blake on the other hand was wary of this stranger, if not for a few moments the blade would be dripping blood by now. Also the way he portrayed himself (he could only be a male by his physique) send a shiver of fear down her spine, If the man was a Huntsman then they would be in some serious problem…
"Call me the 'insurance' of the train, now you have two options: Drop your weapons or I'll take you down!"
[Insert Nine Thou by Styles of Beyond]
His hostility was almost palpable to the two faunus, but the red haired male decided to ignore it and charge at full speed against the masked stranger seeking to end this quickly, his mask hided well the widening of his eyes when he felt his attack being blocked without showing very much strain from his opponent, in a flash he felt a white hot pain on his abdominal area which launched him back 6 meters; in Blake's perspective it happened very fast and almost missed it, but her eyes managed to see that the moment the man blocked the katana with his own blade using one hand, the other suddenly shrouded itself in a dark glow before impacting in a palm trust against her partner.
"Adam!" Blake sprinted at her fallen comrade but she was forced to jump away when the man who was a long distance ago suddenly appeared in front of her with his blade raised in a over hand slash; she parried it with Gambol shroud but the man didn't relent in the assault, soon forcing her to block a barrage of fast and precise attacks, she managed to jump backwards throwing her weapon in kusarigama mode at the man but he vanished from her sight, her 'bow' twitched and she dodged the suden hail of bullets coming from above, somehow the man was staying floating in midair and shooting at her with a rifle that seems to hold a very large cartridge, Adam by the time had recovered from the weird attack and went on the offensive again, this time using ranged attacks on the still airborne man, Krono for his part detected the movement coming from his back so he turned of his flight dropping on the still surprised girl and used her as a spring board to attack the other teen turning the weapon into scythe mode, Adam meet the clash with his katana, quckly moving on his feet he moved behind the warlock guard ready to cut his back but the staff part of the scythe turned the blade sideways leaving him wide open.
Blake watched in horror as the blade of the scythe cut her friend first in the leg, then the chest and finally on the head shooting a salvo of three bullets all in the same swing, thanks to his aura Adam managed to survive but the mask cracked a bit at the impact, he was snatched from the weapons range by a black ribbon just as the man turned on his axis throwing the weapon at them like a buzzsaw, naturally the ducked but the warlock had already Blinked in their direction planting the end of the staff in the ground and using his momentum to reverse kick them to the end of the car, as both were taken by surprise they couldn't block the attack and ended colliding with the door, Adam growled a bit in anger and some of pain because of the force of the attack, but he didn't have time to attack as he was forced to use his aura to block an incoming projectile which fragmented for the lack of a better word in multiple purple crystals that exploded right on their faces sending the two faunus outside the car, Krono folded the scythe back in its portable mod before changing to the pistol blade, he frowned at the resilience of these two, in the crucible he had 'killed' guardians better than them with the scatter grenade but they only sustained minor damage from it, maybe their "Aura" was a better defense than he imagined…
Blake felt her head pounding as she recovered from the small concussion caused by the explosion, just what kind of grenades was that? it wasn't one made of dust because it took most of her aura to reduce the damage, even then, she felt sore on most of her body; the sound of metal clashing brought her back to reality when she saw Adam and the stranger fight in one of the most intense sword duel she ever seen on her life, her partner was a prodigy with the sword but this guy was forcing him on the ropes evidencing this on the cuts appearing on his outfit; grabbing Gambol Shroud she ran at him, gaining momentum she jumped and threw Gambol at him, predictably he ducked but when she pulled the ribbon the weapon shot itself back at her, managing to cut his shoulder blade much to his surprise, and soon it was his turn to go defensive when the girl started to attack him with the chain scythe, the way she moved make it difficult for him to predict her attacks given that if he dodged or blocked another attack would come from a different angle.
this went for a moment before his neck tingled in a sense of alarm, as when he managed to grasp the ribbon of the weapon he watched as the red - haired male unleashed a energy wave from his weapon at them; Krono and Blake watched in surprise the attack, the cat faunus because she couldnt believe that her partner and friend could unleash his attack on her just to get ride of the man, and Krono because the attack also hit the other crates that contained fire Dust, making an explosion that threw the both of them outside of the train.
Krono saw that the girl lost conscience the moment the explosion went off, and he didnt escape unscathed as well, but he did have enough strength to return the favor to the bastard.
Adam felt a bit guilty about what he did, but the higher upps told him that Blake was being more hesitant with their missions as the time went past, and order him that if she showed another sign of doubt then he would need to get rid of her. The moment she asked about the other humans in the train cemented his position and it was a coincidence that when she was distracting the strange human he used his semblance on the explosives at their side, he watched without emotions as the two of them fell of the train into the Forever Fall forest, he caught sight of Blake unconsious form falling, but he watched with hide eyes hiden by his mask as the man unleashed a purple ball of energy on the train car, effectivly cutting him from the other passengers leaving him with the destroyed remains. Soon he lost sight of the two of them and the train, he was upset but he knew that there was other chances to get back at S.C.
As for Blake and the Stranger…well if they managed to survive, theres still the Grimm that lived in the forest….
Krono groaned as he woke up, feeling all of his body screaming in protest at the movement; his suit soon injected the anesthetics numbing the pain at least until he recovered enough. A groan caught his attention as he grabbed the hilt of Thorn in gun mode aiming at the source of the sound, much to his surprise the source was almost right in front of him: the White Fang Girl.
She looked like she had seen better days counting the bruises across her body, and her leg looked like it broke something given the awkward angle, now he detested with all of his being criminals and terrorist, however he was not heartless; the girl was just betrayed by her comrade and left to die in the woods, he debated with himself for a moment before going to her, a quick check from her neck told that she still had pulse, so with care he lifted her on his arms before moving to the forest searching for a place to pass the night, after all, the woods were full of beowulves so it would be for the best if he find somewhere when he can deal with their injuries…
"And just to make it worst I probably wont get paid by those bastards… you better be worth it girl"
Almost like a response to his words, the girl unconsciously snuggled against him, seeking warmth as the cold of the night started to fall on them, Krono sighed in exasperation but continued walking.
'At least Hei must be having a better time than me…'
