Taking the Fall
The Casino was on High alert, the patrons all but in a panic at the alarms and flashing lights not of the machines, guards looking over those moving to leave in said panic. All eyes failed to notice a figure drop down roughly on an alcove running across the walls, the figure showed himself to wear Black in colour, his pants a standard issue military pants with armor added over the vitals, the knee's sporting metal knee pads with the right sporting spikes.
Many side arm holsters on the legs, the man's upper body wore a skintight rubber body suit with a bullet proof vest over it, the sleeves padded with protection from many weapons of melee, leather gloves fitted with metal knuckle guards, the most distinguishable addition to this outfit, was the Helmet covering the man's head.
A Black V visor over where the eyes were, the helmet sported a inspirational aspect of the Outlaw Ned Kelly, with lights faintly glowing on the sides and back, the man held a Briefcase in his right hand. Shifting it in his grip the man leaped forward, landing a large sign for the Casino, the man looked to the right to see men in suits rushing onto a balcony over looking the casino below.
"There he is!" standing up calmly, the man flipped them off before he began to move forward.
Leaping onto another light, a voice echoed through his helmet.
"Good, they have you're attention now get running!" rushing over the crowd via lights, another voice echoed.
"This is our only chance!" rolling his eyes at the urgency in the other teens voice, a younger girls followed.
"Stay calm. You can get away, like right now!" snorting openingly at the girls urgency, the man spoke.
"Oracle please, I got this" jumping to the ledge of another sign, the man ran along the edge to leap onto one lower to himself.
"I know, you're always careful, I just worry too much" moving to speak to her a more serious voice of a female spoke with a tired edge.
"Kelly, did you take the briefcase with you" looking back, the now named Kelly spoke.
"No, I left it at the drop point, why?"
"Just checking" raising his hands in surrender, Kelly spoke.
"It happened once, Queen" moving forward, Kelly climbed up several lights.
"I have to say though, getting the attention of the entire Casino was an excellent idea, Kelly" nodding with a laugh, the man spoke while looking over the room.
"Thank you Mona!" leaping off of the sign with a dive, the sound of a startled yelp echoed through the comms.
"Kelly, why do you always do dangerous stunts!?" hearing the voice of an adult woman, Kelly snorted as he kept moving.
"I'm a parkour junkie what do you expect, Hela?" the voice to answer was a sultry one.
"I bet Skull wouldn't be able to land that stunt" the response was one of bravado.
"Hey, I can do stunts!"
The following voice was a roguishly smooth reply.
"I'll bet kid, just be sure not to fall and break you're neck!"
"What kind of advice is that!?"
"Skull, Rogue, Panther. You all have you're objectives, get to them before we're deep and deeper shit" looking to the right, Kelly spotted more Guards on a balcony.
"There he is" turning to them, Kelly raised both his hands to give the bird, laughing at the angry cries of the men, Kelly leaped forward.
"Everyone remember where we're meeting up?"
"Don't worry, I'll guide you"
"Listen to Oracle, Beauty thief!" flipping onto another light, the soft voice replied with a stutter.
"I-I thought we were using our codenames?" hearing the girls blush in her voice, Kelly spoke.
"Noir, I'm joking, and I know you're father would kill me if I was doing more then joking"
"Indeed I would, Mr Kelly" Gulping at another voice, Kelly spoke.
"Sorry Mr Emporer, sir" leaping over a gap, Kelly climbed onto the balcony to see a doorway blocked by two guards.
"Stop!"
"You wont get away!" sliding to a stop as the two guards shifted into gorilla like beings, hearing one land behind him made Kelly stand straight.
Turning to the one behind him, Kelly cracked his knuckles as a howling wolf echoed throughout the area.
"Take 'em down, Ned Kelly!" leaping over the charging shadow, Kelly grabbed it by the head to drive his right knee into it's face, shattering the mask hiding it's blank face, it transformed into a beast with a Bulls head, human torso leading to a serpentine body with two larger human arms keeping it upright.
Sacrificial Pyrekeeper!
Staring down the beast, the voice of oracle came over the Comms.
"Checking threat level, nominal, get 'em Kelly!" chuckling at the girls voice, Kelly brought out dual Hand-cannons with eight barrels.
"Oracle, I was born for this!" firing two rounds into it's eyes, Kelly was sooner ignited with blue fire, that shifted into a golden glow.
"PERSONA!" rising from the fire was the infamous outlaw himself in a mechanized form, Ned Kelly, his revolvers replaced by large shotgun like revolvers with belt fed ammo.
"Bullet Storm!" laughing at the order, Ned Kelly SPOKE.
"With pleasure Kid!" aiming said weapons, the entire Shadow was obliterated by a raincloud of bullets, seeing the job finished, Kelly leaped back to climb up onto a balcony Above.
"Kelly, through that-oh you already saw it" moving through the backstage hallway, the voice of oracle picked up his interest.
"Hmm, wait. Wait I'm picking up a weird reading heading you're way!"
Kicking open a door to a staircase down, Kelly slid to a crouch at hearing guards to his left, he moved to the right towards another door, opening it quietly he slid to hide behind crates as guards moved through the hallway outside, looking ahead another guard stood.
Seeing this, Kelly snuck up behind him to rush at him, seeing the man turn in alarm, Kelly grabbed him by the throat to chokeslam him down to earth, getting a groan as the man lost consciousness, Kelly moved ahead up a staircase.
Only to stop at seeing another guard down a long hall, looking around Kelly looked up to see a platform above, reaching back he aimed a hand-cannon with a three pronged hook.
Firing he let it grow taught before he was yanked off his feet, landing on the platform above, he gave a soft chuckle.
"Good idea Batman" moving ahead, Kelly stopped at Oracles voice.
"Kelly, stop!" sliding to said stop while looking for any threats, he felt a being in his mind tense up as he was surrounded by more shadows, looking over the situation, he looked ahead to see the sight of another figure approaching.
Donned in a strapless black leotard, a chain belt with two silver roses motifs and a scabbard for her rapier attached to it, a black choker and red gloves. Her black bolero jacket had gold buttons, ruffled sleeves and three floor-length coattails. thigh-length hose and stiletto-heels that resembled ballet shoes on the top. What hid her face was a black mask with silver highlights along with a black ribbon holding her crimson hair in a long pony-tail. Admiring this woman as Oracle spoke through the comms, the woman spoke.
"I'll end this right now"
"Kelly, she's the weird reading I've been getting"
"Relax, Oracle… she's that surprise I told you about" standing up straight as the girl threw her rapier into the air, Kelly tilted is head to the right as said Rapier impaled the Shadow behind him.
Seeing this, he un-holster his right revolver to hip fire the two shadows at his sides, startling the three ahead of him, he kicked the middle one down while grabbing the Rapier, rolling to the girls side, he tossed her, her Rapier for the duo to fight.
"What took ya so long?"
"Traffic" losing focus for a second, Kelly turned to her in confusion.
"Really?" losing focus herself, the girl gave a weak shrug.
"Sorry" shaking his head, Kelly aimed and fired, nailing a bird shadow in the head, the girl took on the two leopard people, stunning them to the ground, the bird was hit with a Vorpal blade from the girl, hitting them all with a critical. Moving to finish the job, Kelly stopped her with his body igniting with blue fire, his helmet replaced with a Skull sporting two large curved horns reach backwards.
"Bring their end, Fenrir!" hearing the howl of the Great Wolf, the girl stepped back in awe as the beast bared it's teeth at the three shadows who cowered at the sight.
"Fenrir, Ragnarok" if the wolf could smile, it would have unnerved the girl as a set of astral jaws reached for the three shadows to bite, ending the fight, the girl turned to the panting wolf to see Kelly scratching it's chin calmly. Turning to her, Fenrir gave a loud bark of greeting, it's red eyes showing joy at her presence, the girl merely giggled.
"We could have used you're help during the battle against the palace ruler"
"As I said, I'm sorry" nodding in acceptance as Fenrir faded away and the helmet returned, Kelly spoke.
"Fair enough" moving to leave, oracle's voice came through the comms.
"Kelly, you got more guys heading towards you!" moving to speak, the girl spoke.
"I'll distract them, you get out of here" seeing her move, Kelly spoke.
"Violet…" seeing her turn to him, Kelly spoke softly.
"Be careful, we're dealing with actual corrupt police guys here" seeing her eyes widen, she steeled herself and nodded.
"I'll do my best, senpai" approaching him, she reached for his helmet to lift it up and place a cast kiss on his lips, startling him she stepped away with a shy nod.
"That's a thank you, for helping me when I had no one else" leaping upward, Kelly stood there, watching her leave his sight.
Inhaling slowly, Kelly moved onward.
Moving up the stairs, the window into the security room was left to Kelly's sight.
"He's not alone, find them and kill them all" glaring at the shadows, Kelly moved ahead to the stairs leading upward, leaving a trap to trip anyone following him, he moved upward before he came into an open area where a large window sat with a cathedral like design.
"Something wrong, the exit's just up ahead" reaching for his helmet, Kelly spoke.
"Yeah, about that, oracle… I may need to go through a cathedral like window" turning around to see guards aiming guns at him, Loki kicked the door closed before rushing to the left.
"What?"
"I mean the area between me and the exit is a far drop, I'm getting to it so don't worry" jumping onto the railings, Kelly ignored the yells of "Stop" behind him as he leaped at the window.
Shattering one plain, the rest remained intact.
Landing into a roll, Kelly was about to run until he stopped as many search lights stopped him in his tracks…
"Enemies… here!?" hearing Oracle, Kelly spoke.
"What's wrong?"
"These reading, it can't be!?"
"What? What happened!?"
"An Ambush!"
"Kelly, can you handle this?"
"Kelly, you better get out of this or so help me!?"
Seeing the odds stacked against himself, Kelly stared at the many police in front of him while bringing out a flash grenade.
"Sorry to say this guys… But you'll have to head to Leblanc without me" pulling the pin from the Grenade, Kelly tossed it to the ground as the voice of Panther spoke through the Comms.
"Kelly, don't you dare do another suicide rush!" turning off his comms, Kelly rushed forward as the flash bang went off, blinding some of the officers unlucky enough, he leaped upward to kick himself over several heads before landing with his right knee landing on a poor shmucks face.
Sending a jab into an officers ribs and a nerve jab into another, Kelly proved why you don't mess with a Black belt, flipping an officer over his back, the odds were proving more against him as he began to be dogpiled, grunting in an effort to free himself, the stock of a rifle knocked him down.
"Suspect secure!" feeling his arms restrained, Kelly smiled beneath his helmet as a man approached.
"You have your teammate to thank for this" feeling his head pulled off the ground, the man went on.
"You, were sold out" the only response he got, was a chuckle from Kelly.
"Well shit, if that faker was you're inside man, than he should have gone to a better acting school… cause right now, you're dirty laundry is being shown to the public… especially the attempted cover up of Shujin academies principles murder by you're bosses puppet" laughing now at the stunned silence from the man, Kelly was hit in the head by a kick.
A growl of anger from the man, Kelly continued to laugh.
"Such is life, huh?" looking up to the scowling face, Kelly felt another hit before unconsciousness surrounded him.
