BREATH OF FIRE 3: UP IN SMOKE!
Chapter Nine: Running Target
Rei and Momo made their way through the woods, towards the Tower. Rei still had the sack that he brought back from the market slung over his shoulder.
Momo had her arm around Rei and was leaning her head against his shoulder. "I'm so glad we decided to take a walk instead of using the telaporter. It's such a beautiful day." She stated.
Rei smiled. "Yeah, it is." He replied.
"Oh yeah," She inserted. "You never told me what was in that bag of yours." Momo remarked.
Rei started to respond, but suddenly stopped and looked around. Momo was confused, she didn't know what was going on. Rei turned to her. "Something is wrong here, I smell something very wrong." He replied nervously. "You wait here." He said and set down the bag and took out his knives and walked down through the woods.
Momo watched him move further into the woods, but she felt very uncomfortable about this. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach as she starting to sense something strange as well.
***
Rei padded along smoothly across the forest floor. He suddenly stopped as he smelt something unusual. He looked around to the right where the smell seemed to come from and then he turned and looked back to the left. He turned back around just in time to see a dagger narrowly miss his throat and drive itself into the side of a tree near him.
Rei turned around to see a masked man in black come running towards him. In one fluid motion, Rei reached over and grabbed hold of the dagger's handle and threw it into the man as he lunged towards him.
But just as the man fell back, another man with a long, curved sword appeared. Rei jumped out of the way as the man swung his sword at him, slicing straight through the tree's trunk and causing the upper half to slide off onto the ground because of the perfectly smooth division through it.
Rei rolled out of the way of the falling tree and got back up. He realized that he had dropped his knives!
The masked man with the sword ran toward him and took another swipe at Rei, only narrowly missing the agile Worren (as he lunged backwards) and missed cutting into his throat by just inches.
Rei landed on his feet, but stumbled and fell onto his back.
***
Momo suddenly saw that Rei was being attack and reached under her robe to get her bazooka, unaware of the man who dropped down behind her, hanging upside down from a tether in the tree behind her.
*click*
Momo turned around to see a man, dressed in back with a matching mask pulled over his head, come down in front of her. He knocked the bazooka out of her hand, causing her to fall back roughly.
***
Rei got up onto his feet just in time to see the man with the sword come running towards him. He then saw that his knives were just beyond his attacker.
The two fighters ran towards each other and the masked man prepared to strike down his opponent in a single blow. But then, at the last secant, Rei dived and slid under the swing of the blade, rolling forward and grabbing the knives and he got back up to his feet.
The man turned on his heel and looked at Rei. "Nice footwork, but you're still going to die." He said and prepared to attack the Worren again.
***
Bernardo and Marcellus watched the battle eagerly.
Marcellus frowned. "This is taking far longer then it is supposed to." He remarked.
"Just give them time." Bernardo replied.
"This makes me nervous; bring in the others on this, those two need to be made dead as quickly as possible." He exclaimed.
Bernardo picked up his radio.
***
Momo scooted back across the grass floor of the forest as the man stepped towards. "Sorry Girly, but you're finished." He said as metal claws formed around his hands.
Momo gulped and tried to think of something, only to back up into a tree. "Oh shit." She though to herself.
***
Rei stood across from the Swordsman. The two of them prepared to attack once again. Both of them lunged toward each other.
Rei threw one of his knives at the swordsman, who deflected it with his sword. He threw the other knife at him, and he deflected it as well, shortening the gap between them.
"Now you die!" He yelled as he overcame Rei, who dropped towards the ground, and brought his sword down towards him, only to suddenly stop in mid swing. He coughed out blood, staining his mask, and looked down at Rei. He then realized what had happened.
He'd been distracted by the knives, which left him open for just a brief secant before he could attack.
Rei watched as the sword fell to the ground. He then pulled out his claws from deep within the man's abdomen. His fingers and knuckles were stained a dark red color.
The man fell to his knees and looked up at Rei. ".how could you, you're a."
"Good guy?" Rei asked. "I'm not that good." He said, walking away from the attacker fell to the ground.
***
Momo looked up at the man before her.
"Now just hold still and I'll make it nice and quick." He told her as he drew back his hand, the sun light reflecting of the steel.
Momo then threw up her right arm and a small pistol slid out of her sleeve and into her hand. She fired off the gun, straight into the man, sending him flying back.
Momo looked at the pistol. "A girl's best friend." She remarked with a smile. Some then put a gun again her neck.
"It certainly is." Said another attacker.
Momo froze, but then the man was suddenly pulled back. She turned around to see Rei holding by the collar. Rei frowned. "Don't even think about hurting my lady." He said, pushing the man's head straight up against the side of the tree and tossing him aside. Rei then kneeled down in front of her and handed Momo her bazooka. "I think this is yours." He said.
***
"Damnit!" Marcellus exclaimed. "Tell the sniper to kill them both, now!" He exclaimed.
Bernardo picked up his radio. "Kill 'em." He said.
***
Rei and Momo jerked back as a bullet flew past them. Rei grabbed Momo by the wrist dove behind a rock with her.
The two of them were there, crouching behind a rock as bullets passed by them, overhead. Rei turned to Momo and handed her a strange object. Momo took the offering and looked at it.
It shaped like a soda can and had a pointed end and a prongs sticking out of the sides and a narrow cylinder coming out of the bottom.
"What is this?" She asked.
"It's a piece of heavy artillery, load that into your bazooka and fire it at who ever is shooting us." Rei replied.
Momo nodded and slid the projectile into her weapon and stood up to fire it.
***
The sniper popped back up from behind his cover in the tree braches he was hiding in and saw some sort of small missile shooting straight towards him. "Oh Landon be dam---!!!"
The whole top half of the tree was blown to pieces!
***
"Damnit all!" Marcellus yelled as he stood up off the ground. He turned to face Bernardo. "I'll through with this shit! We're going back to the headquarters!" He exclaimed.
Bernardo threw his radio on the ground and got up and left with Marcellus.
***
Momo and Rei sat back against the rock, quietly catching their breaths.
"So that's what was in your bag?" Momo asked.
"Yeah, I got whole bunch more of 'em too." He replied without opening his eyes. He took a deep breath and sighed.
Momo took off her hat and leaned her head against his shoulder. "Hey Rei?"
Rei opened his eyes and looked her. "What?" He asked.
Momo smiled cutely. "You want to get high and fool around?" She asked.
Rei looked away and smiled. "Yeah."

Well, did you like it, please tell me what you thought of this. I'd like to know what you all think of the action sequences and so fourth.

P.s. I recently updated a story Final Fantasy 7 story I wrote called "Gunslinger". You should be able to find it in the FF7 section or on my bio page. Plus, I would love to see what you think of my Breath of Fire 2 story, "Loved". And lastly, keep an eye out for my next BoF3 story- "The Cell".
