A few hours later Ronin and Swift are back in the town having a conversation over a round of drinks
" Why didn't you use your sword in our fight" asked swift
"I like to fight my opponent of equal grounds" replied Ronin
"So if you opponent pulled out a gun would you pull out a gun aswell?"
"No I would use my sword, I don't like guns"
"Man you really think your hot shit don't you, what wrong with guns?"
"Guns are too easy, I like the satisfaction of being up close and personal"
"Yeah I know what you mean, but if I had to I would use a gun, a sword, a bomb or even a rock if it meant staying alive"
Ronin finished his drink then stood up." We should get going we've been here too long" he told swift. Swift looked up at him with an irritated look on his face "They haven't come for either of us for years, but I guess you're right lets go". Swift stood up and they both proceeded to the door when they were stopped by a man about the same size as swift but with light skin.
"Where do you think your going? Deckerd said while putting his arm out to stop the two "Either move out of out way or we'll make you move" Ronin replied "Who are you, and what you want with us anyway?" asked Swift
"Well thats easy, my names Deckerd and I was hired to kill you" Deckerd said with a smirk on his face
"By who" Both Ronin and swift asked
"Don't know there names but they want you too dead badly" Deckerd answered
Ronin turned toward swift and said" Well I guess they're sending someone now" then turned to Deckerd and said "Lets take this out of town"
All three walked out of town as though nothing was bothering them each sure of their victory. They made sure to walk far enough so no one would disturb them. Once out of town Deckerd didn't waste anytime, he quickly pulled out two pistols with blades under the barrel and started to fire. Ronin and Swift quickly dashed behind a pair of trees just barely dodging the bullets. Swift looked towards Ronin and asked "Now would you use your sword?"
"Not yet" ronin replied
"man you better not get me killed" Swift said angrily
Swift
looked out from behind the tree and Deckerd fired 3 shots so swift
quickly went back to behind the tree." Well I can't go that way" he
said.
So he turned around and climbed up the tree then jumped to
another tree that was behind Deckerd.Then swift quickly jumped out and
tried to to side kick Deckerd.
But just before the kick landed
Deckerd saw him and small light covered deckerd's body that shielded
him from the blow. Then deckerd tried to slash Swift
with the blades on his pistol but Swift quickly jumped back and when he
did Deckerd raised his gun to fire. But before he could pull the
trigger Ronin jumped out
and tried to slash ronin but the shield protected him again so Ronin
kept applying pressure to see if he could break through.
The
more Ronin applied pressure the more Deckerd strained to keep the
shield up. Realizing that he shield would soon give in he tried to jump
back and recover but when he did he was met by Swift and a quick
roundhouse kick to the head knocking him out cold.
When
Deckerd came to he was tied up and hanging upside down from a tree."
Your finally awake huh" Swift said with a smirk. Knowing that Deckerd
couldn't do anything." Why didn't you kill me" deckerd asked.
" Because if we did we wouldn't get any information out of you" replied Swift
"Then you might as well just kill me now because im not saying a word"
"Thats kind of selfish don't you have any loved ones waiting at home for you?" Ronin said with an inquisitive tone of voice
At that moment Deckerd immediately though of his girlfriend Mel and what she said "It scares me when you go off on these jobs" then started to cooperate.
After a few minutes of interrogation Ronin cut Deckerd down from the tree.
"Ok im gonna give you your guns back and you are going to take us to that computer they contacted you on" said Ronin
"How do you know I won't just shoot you while were walking?" asked deckerd
In a calm tone of voiced Ronin replied" Because if you try i'll chop your head off before you get your finger on the trigger"
And with that all three started towards Deckerd's house to see if the people who hired him would contact him again. By now the sun was starting to se and just before they reached Deckerds town they could see smoke over the horizon and rushed to see what it was. When they arrived there Deckerd was shocked to see that his entire town was burned down and his girlfriend beaten half to death.
"MEL!" Deckerd screamed as he rushed to her. She was alive but just barely she tried to tell him what happened but was only able muster the strength to mutter one word...
"on equ nces" but deckerd wasn't able to understand what she meant.
All three carefully took her away from all the smoke so deckerd could nurse her back to health. "So who is she?" swift asked while helping Deckerd take care of her. "She's my girlfriend Melissa" Replied Deckerd.
"the bastards who did this killed everyone in town but left her alive...why?" said Swift
"I don't know maybe it was a mistake, who cares anyway!" Deckerd said with a tear in his eye
"No" said Ronin "They left her alive on purpose"
"Why would they do that?" asked swift
"Because" replied ronin "They wanted to leave him a message"
Just then Deckerd finally understood what Melissa said, "Consequences" he muttered an both Ronin and Swift looked up at him and understood what he meant.
After that none of them spoke another word until sunrise
