-Chapter 3: Unexpected Visitors-
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
Kon pressed a button on his scouter and looked at the cut on Sam's arm.
"You got cut by a wire," he touched the almost invisible thread, "Very thin, AND there's more in front of us. Try to cut through them with your swords."
Sam smirked as he brandished Vengeance.
"Time to channel my inner lumber jack. Where they at?"
Kon pointed forward.
"Mostly there, for about ten feet in that direction and seven feet high."

"NAJENDA, SOMEONE'S CUTTING MY THREADS!"
Lubbock came running into the living room from outside with a bit of a panicked look on his face. Najenda's face remained calm, however. The reason for this was because she had a plan for it.
"Do you think you can trap whoever it is in the clearing?"
Lubbock nodded in response, his profile calming a bit before he walked back outside.
"Susanoo," Najenda said to her Imperial Arms, "Take Tatsumi and pursue these intruders. Eliminate them if you have to."
"WAIT!"
The shout came from the staircase, where Alex stood with her arms crossed. Najenda smiled to her friend.
"What is it Alex? Trouble relaxing?"
"My brothers are still out there," Alex's tone changed to a sarcastic one, "Oh what would I do if they were dead?"
"Alex," Najenda sighed, "How could they find us if they're idiots like you say they are?"
Alex smirked.
"They may be idiots, but they're both as experienced as most of your assassins, maybe even more. They'd be able to track me down by now."
Najenda retrieved a cigarette and lit it, taking a long drag from it before responding.
"Alright," she looked at Susanoo, "Just maim them before bringing them back here. Tell Tatsumi the same."
Susanoo answered stolidly as he walked out to get Tatsumi.
"Yes ma'am."
Najenda looked back at Alex.
"Are you fine with that?"
Alex nodded with a smile.
"Fine as diamond dust. I'm sure they'll be okay with that."

After Kon had guided Sam's blade to every thread, the brothers continued their march to the north. After a minute or so, they reached an area where the forest had seemingly been cleared with only a few trees dotting the open landscape. Sam looked around, being careful to not set off a trap or get cut by anymore threads, before returning to his little brother.
"I didn't see anything out there," he whispered to Kon, "Maybe you should check with your scouter, just in case."
Kon hit the button on his scouter, and looked around, the HUD on the thing zooming in and out in different places. In a moment he finished scanning the area and spoke to his brother.
"Bad news," he spoke softly, "We're surrounded by those wires. They're tangled in most of the trees on the treeline. Plus, I think I saw something moving not too far to the north."
Sam touched the hole in his shoulder, Crimson staining his gauntlet as he did. When he pulled his hand away, he lifted it to his face and licked the blood off of one of his metal claws. Kon looked at him, disgust crossing his face under his mask.
"I can't believe you still do that. Disgusting."
"It makes it easier to tell how long before it heals," Sam licked the blood again, "I'd say about forty five minutes, more if the assholes coming our way don't want to welcome us amiably."
Kon turned his head back toward the treeline with a "disgusting". He kept an eye to the north for a moment before nudging Sam's shoulder.
"Here they come," he pointed at the treeline to the northwest, "They're about to jump over the wires right there."
"Might as well get ready for the fight."
Sam brandished both of his katanas, and held them in his personal style, behind the back. Kon readied up as well, cocking the bolts on his wrist guns before aiming Stormbringer at the trees.
Within a moment of their wait, what seemed to be a man flew into the clearing, landing nearly twenty yards away from them. Upon closer inspection the brothers noticed that the "man" had horns and an unusual emblem on his chest, instantly telling them what he was.
"Woah," the brothers said in unison, "An Organic."
Then the other opponent came into the clearing, whose Imperial Arms Sam had instantly recognized.
"Incursio..." Sam said as he stared at the armored fighter, "So the Hundred Man Slayer decides to show himself..."
Sam's grip on his katanas tightened, before he sighed heavily and relaxed his fingers. He whispered to himself afterwards, with "Don't lose it," catching Kon's ear.
"Sam," Kon nudged his brother's shoulder again, "Are we just gonna go peacefully or fight them?"
"Let's just..." Sam looked as though he contemplated it for a moment before sheathing his katanas, "Let's just let them take us prisoner. If both Pumpkin and Incursio are here, then it's blatantly obvious that they're Night Raid. Just do what I do..."
Sam walked forward until Incursio pointed his spear, which Sam knew as Neuonte, and shouted.
"Don't move any closer," the voice sounded boyish, and close to Sam's age group, "Tell us why you're out in these hills and cutting down our barrier!"
It was kinda unexpected to hear such a voice coming from the Hundred Man Slayer's armor, and Sam let everyone around him know about his shock.
"Wait. Who are you, and why do you have that Imperial Arms," Sam chuckled a bit, "Lemme guess, you found it on a dead guy. Such a shame that a great soldier would become a scavenger's prey."
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH," Incursio shouted to him, with obvious anger in his voice, "BULAT WAS MY FRIEND! DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK ABOUT HIM EVER AGAIN!"
Sam went straight-faced after that statement.
"So he is dead. Was it at least a death befitting of a man like him?"
Incursio's stance shuddered a bit.
"Yeah..." the boy under the armor gulped loudly, "That doesn't matter! Why are you here?!"
Kon stepped forward and stole Sam's thunder.
"We're here to find our sister." he then looked at Sam and spoke to him in a whisper, "Asshole."
"What? I didn't do anything?"
The brothers almost started to bicker when the Organic actually spoke.
"Najenda would want to see you," he turned around and began to walk away, "Please follow me."
"Hold on," Sam said to the Organic as he came to a realization, "We gotta call our friends first. Don't worry they're of the furry, lovable type."
The brothers called for their pets, Sam whistling for Shadowfang and Kon doing the same for Kúri. Kúri flew to Kon from the sky above, landing on his shoulder before ruffling her feathers. Shadowfang, on the other hand, got caught in the threads, from which Sam cut him out then picked him up like a child, on account of the threads' cuts.
"Are you prepared now," the Organic asked them to which they nodded in response, "Then follow me."
A/N: And another encounter! Oh, this just keeps getting better, right? RIGHT?!
In all seriousness, two to three more pre-typed or written or whatever chapters left then we get to my present day efforts. Will it get better? Probably not, but who cares! As before constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks to the ladies and gents out there reading this.
