Hope you are liking the story. If not I don't know why you're still here.
Jez and I walked outside of the store,but as we stepped out a girl with bright green hair accidentally knocked into me and I fell down.
The girl held out her hand to help me up when she said "Excuse me. Sorry. I'm not really from around here."
I accepted her hand up when she asked "Do you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?"
"Yeah it's just around that corner and down the street." I told the girl.
"Thank you." she said. As she started off I checked my pockets and noticed that my wallet was missing.
"We have to go after her." I told Jez.
"Why?" she asked.
"That girl just stole my wallet. There she is." I said as I noticed her turning around to talk to someone, so Jez and I teleported close enough to hear her conversation, but far enough to were we wouldn't be caught doing so.
"I knew you were lost." a guy said to the girl with green hair.
"Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up." the girl said as she waved my wallet in front of Mercury's face.
"That's not your money." Mercury said.
"But it could be yours for five minutes of silence."
"Mmmm no deal."
"Hrr fine." the girl said as she curled her lip and took my money out of my wallet and threw it on the ground.
"Whatever you want me. Haha." Mercury said as he took off after the girl.
"Let's follow them to see where they go." I said as I carefully picked up my wallet and Jez and I headed after the duo.
"Why are we even here again?" Mercury whined.
"We're here to kill a rat for the White Fang." the girl said.
"I think he's more of a cat actually." Mercury joked.
"What like a puma?"
"Yeah. So how much farther?" Mercury asked.
"A few blocks." the girl answered.
"Uh this place is so dull."
"Eh I kind of like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture."
"And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket." Mercury commented
"That's every city." the girl said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Oh Emerald master thief. Please don't take my money. I barely have enough to get by." Mercury said jokingly.
Emerald simply scowled and walked past him.
"You're no fun today." Mercury said as they walked into Tukson's Book Trade.
"Quickly we have to get in there without them knowing." Jez said, but I simply looked at her and she said "oh right we can just teleport in." so we did just that and reappeared behind a bookshelf. Emerald walked up to the counter and rang the bell.
"Be right there." Tukson said from the back. He soon came out holding why too many books. "Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade. Home to every book under the sun. How may … How may I help you."
"Just browsing." Mercury said as he closed a book loudly.
"Actually I was wondering, do you have any copies of the Thief and the Butcher?" Emerald asked.
"Yes we do."
"That's great."
"Would you like a copy?" Tukson asked.
"No just wondering." Emerald said as Mercury closed another book loudly. "Oh. Oh. What about Violet's Garden in paperback?"
"He's got it. Hardback too."
"Oooh options are nice." Emerald said.
"Uh no pictures." Mercury said as he closed the book loudly. "Hey do you have any comics?"
"Near the front." Tukson asked the tone of his voice told me that he was getting annoyed.
"Oh no wait. What about Third Crusade?" Emerald asked slowly.
"Um I don't believe we carry that one." Tukson said as Mercury slammed a book shut.
"What was this placed called again?"
"Tukson's Book Trade."
"And you're Tukson."
"That's right."
"Then I take it you're the one who came up with the catchphrase."
"Yes."
"And what was it agian?" Mercury asked.
Tukson sighed and answered "Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun."
"Except the Third Crusade."
"It's just a catchphrase"
"It's false advertising."
"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson. I hear your planing on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo. Our brother's in the White Fang aren't happy to hear that." As Emerald said this Mercury dimmed the store windows, so no one could see inside. "You know who we are. Don't you?"
"Yes."
"And you know why we're here?"
"Yes."
"So are you going to fight back?"
"YES!" Tukson exclaimed as his nails suddenly extended into claws and he jumped over the counter, but as he did I teleported my armor to me and in front of him to take the blow of Mercury's boot.
I quickly teleported my chakram to my hand and said "Stay back we'll handle this."
Emerald just looked at my weapon and said "Really that is one of the worst weapons on remnant. What are you going to do?"
"Just watch." I said as Jez teleported behind Mercury with her chakram placed against his throat.
"Try anything and I slit his throat." Jez threatened.
"Jez that isn't what we want. First of all I want my money back." I said as I flashed my chakram.
Emerald sighed and handed me my money, but as I grab my money she pulls out her guns and attempts to shoot me in the chest. Thankfully my armor deflects it. I quickly threw my chakram at Emerald only for it to hit her and start flying towards Jez. "I was not expecting that."
"Sweet let me try." Jez said as she teleported away from Mercury, grabbed my chakram, and threw her chakram only for it to come flying towards me after it hit Mercury, so I quickly grabbed hers and threw it back. As I threw Jez's chakram, it hit Emerald and flew to Jez. "Let's keep this up." I said to Jez.
Jez effortlessly teleported towards the side of Emerald and Mercury and threw her chakram, while I mirrored her. Soon Emerald fainted due to the fact that her aura was completely gone.
"Looks like it's just the three of us now." Mercury said as we teleported in front of him. Jez and I stood back to back in our fighting stances. "What is this? It looks like I'm looking in a mirror."
I don't what compelled me to do it, but Jez and I suddenly said "When two parts of a soul. Fight as a whole. They will always reach their goal." at the same time, then Jez and I started to move in perfect sync to one another and we both teleported in front of Mercury and threw our chakrams into his chest. They ricocheted off of his body, flew up into the air and landed back in our hands several times before Mercury fainted do to the many lacerations on his chest.
"What the hell was that?!" Tukson exclaimed as he saw that both adversaries were down.
"No time to explain. You need to get to Dragon Wing, once there you will find a Faunus civilization that is unknown to all of humanity. If you successfully find it tell them Jade Mors sent you and you will be let in immediately."
"You didn't have to do this." Tukson said to us.
"Just get out of here before they get up." Jez said as we grabbed each other's hand and teleported away.
Hope you liked the chapter. I had to rewrite it a few times but I hope you liked it. That whole Faunus civilization at Dragon Wing thing I borrowed it from one my brother's favorite stories. The story is Blood Rose. I've read a few chapters but it gets dark very quickly. Let me know how i'm doing. Stay tuned.
