Atora looked at Slender with sadness," I know them. Yeah they suck, but its petty gang violence."
Slender stood up, It's bad enough where they are considered murderers. Everyone serves a purpose; even morons. What needs to be done has to happen. Vik will probably be easier to use once we settle his families scores.
"So what are we then? A two man mafia?" Atora said angrily.
Slender didn't have a face, but his soul smiled, Vik was always hunted by gangs. His family was the mafia. They prepared for the worst at all times. His mother, father, brother, and other family members and friends were slaughtered. So Vik taught his family how to protect himself. I was a member of that mafia. I sought out protection because like him I was hunted.
"So why does the gang have to die?"
Why do birds fly? Why do turtles protect themselves? It was pure protection of our lives. Atora, I have fought the evil away for 700 years. You were coming to kill me weren't you? The night we met?
Atora felt guilty for what she said. She didn't want to take Slender's side, but in the end he was right," ok… You are right. We will find them tonight. Remember they use guns."
Slender turned his head to the side. He walked over to the corner of the cave and lifted up the carpet; under the carpet revealed a opened the box and pulled out a small gun. It was a blunderbuss flintlock, This will keep you safe. Trust me when you fire it you will see for yourself. He handed it to Atora. He turned his head to the side and held up his arm and the Black Widow Wood formed.
Atora put her fedora and trench coat on," Let's do this."
Slender straightened his tie and nodded.
The duo walked to the corner of the side walk. Atora looked down the street," His gang has gotten bigger… This is going to be difficult."
Remember Atora, I may be able to form my weapon forms fully, but I can't do soul resonance because my soul is in the weapon I'm carrying.
Atora pulled out the blunderbuss and raised an eyebrow," Don't I have to reload after every shot?"
Slender took the blunderbuss and pointed at the sky. He fired one, two, three, four, shots, Semi-auto never reloads.
The shots attracted company.
Slender handed the gun to Atora, Whoops… sorry. He formed his rifle and pointed it at the man, Atora repeat!
"Look guys we don't want trouble. We just want to see the boss."
The man pulled a gun," Too bad little girl. Our territory is locked tight. No one speaks to our guy; we can't even speak to him!"
Atora looked at Slender," Drop em'. I know where he is."
Slender fired a bullet consumed by venom which pierced the man's body. Immediately he died and fell. Atora shot the other man; the bullet through the guy to the ground.
Atora looked at the rifle Slender fired. The barrel was dripping pearlescent glowing liquid. She was confused by the rifle," I didn't notice that when I fired it."
When the Black Widow Wood no longer hurts you; then the heart of the king is unlocked.
Atora was shocked by the rifle," What does it do when in soul resonance?"
Vik's wife used the rifle in soul resonance. She was able to do a lot of abnormal things.
"Like what?"
She could climb walls, she was strong and fast, and when she was touched the victim died. The rifle's venom ran through her bloodstream.
Atora looked at the blunderbuss," Then what's this?"
It was my personal defense weapon that I used before I had weapons.
She noticed an engraving etched in the handle," Who's S.M.?"
Slender bowed, Yours truly.
The team ran down the street shooting every threat with ease. Atora put away the blunderbuss," Slender mode nine tails whip!"
Slender formed into Atora's hand. She cracked the whip, and flicked her wrist towards the opposition. She easily ripped apart every bit of flesh in front of her," Slender mode spike staff!"
A man rushed Atora. Atora stopped running and pointed the staff out. She thrusted it at the man as soon as he reached her. His torso was skewered all the way threw to his back.
Atora was pumped up, she shouted," Slender soul resonance!"
The once black staff now turned clear. Inside the staff was black sand. The button glowed red. Atora pointed it at a man with a bat. She pressed the button," Sand sweeper," sand blasted out at incredible speed. Every grit of sand sliced the man until the ground was drenched with blood. Atora smiled.
Atora pointed the staff towards the ground," Sand sweeper." The sand gushed out of the sand staff and trapped the other runners, they then became engulfed by the sand and were encased in the sand. Atora smashed the sand men with the staff, and they fell to the ground like shattered glass. Atora looked up," The boss is this way."
The two ran down the street up to a doorway. Atora kicked in the door and walked in. Four guns were pointed at her head.
A man with a scratchy voice laughed.
Atora knew this would happen," Sand skin." Her body was encased with the black sand. The men foolishly fired at her, but every bullet bounced off her sand body. She smashed the staff down screaming," Sand pin cushion." The sand skin Jumped off her body in the form of sand pins and it pierced every guy surrounding her," Slender mode kilij!"
Slender switched to the kilij, Soul resonance in this form will lower heat for stronger focus.
Atora nodded," Soul resonance." The sword began to glow light blue. The ground below her froze with every foot step. Atora's mind was completely clear; she focused in on the six targets. She opened the door," Slender mode nine tails whip."
Slender formed the whip.
When Atora fully opened the door, she flung her wrist with the whip in hand at the five men guarding the leader. The whip's hooks caught across their flesh, and brought them to their knees.
When they bled out, Atora noticed a strange force in her arm. The slight burning in her arm left to a faint smoldering feeling. The leader frowned," Damn… You got my best men," he said sarcastically.
Atora smiled at the comment. In a split second, Slender left his form and shielded the draw of the revolver's gun. The bullet hit Slender in the chest, dead center. Slender fell in front of Atora.
Atora didn't realize it, but the blunderbuss was in her hand with the barrel smoking and the leader up against the wall with a bullet lodged in his head. She knelt down and held Slender in her hands. Then she looked at the wound where the bullet was resurfacing. As that happened Slender's body began to glow. She placed her hand on his head.
Slender formed the nine tails whip. Atora entered Slender's head and met with Annebelle.
Annebelle smiled at Atora," I saved Slender from dying by removing the bullet. Thank you for carrying out my wishes. You can use White Ash."
Atora woke and smiled at Slender.
