Ruby shifted her position on the tree branch, resting crescent rose on her knee to reduce the sway as she peered through the scope down at Adam who was standing in the middle of the road, just to the left of the animal crossing sign. She adjusted her scope to account for the wind speed. Leveling the cross hairs on his head, her finger brushing the trigger lightly. She blinked and let out a breath before moving the cross hair of of his head, she needed to concentrate on other things.
Her bullets would be stopped by the convoys guard's aura, it wouldn't kill them, but it would knock them out. She took a breath, waiting for the time till the ambush.
Adam stood on the empty road, one hand resting on Wilt and Blush. He moved his weight from leg to leg restlessly, he was slightly concerned. Blake was hidden a few yards ahead in the forest, and would do her job flawlessly, that wasn't his concern,
The girl with the sniper rifle most likely aimed at him at the moment is what worried him, he didn't one hundred percent trust the girl yet.
The sound of multiple engines reached his ears and he felt himself smile, 'I guess now will show her loyalty.' He thought sliding his feet apart and crouching, he grabbed wilt tightly in his hand.
The first truck, a large gray painted armored vehicle with a white snowflake on the hood came around the corner, the driver saw Adam and blared his horn, but instead of stopping he picked up speed barreling towards Adam.
Quickly Adam drew Wilt a red beam stretched across the distance and cut through the armor of the truck, flames and smoke poured out as the engine exploded, the truck swerved and flipped on its side, sparks shot out from under it as it slid towards Adam who only sheathed Wilt and stood up straight. The two trucks following the first slammed on their breaks as the first slid to a stop a few feet in front of Adam. For a moment the only sound was the flames crackling in the crashed trucks engine.
The drivers side door opened and a soldier, dressed in blue and gray armor climbed out onto the side of the truck, he swayed disoriented, as he stood.
Adam lifted his hand up, hoping that Ruby would get his meaning. The third trucks doors opened and soldiers spilled out of it, they all held the standard issued assault rifles. The back doors of the crashed truck fell open with a bang and more troops spilled out, they formed circle around him till he was surrounded. He counted twenty soldiers pointing guns at him. He looked up at the man standing on the truck in front of him. "you didn't bring enough people." Adam said letting his hand fall. "You cocky Bastard, kill..." the Solider never finished his sentence a shot rang out and the mans head jerked to the side and he fell off the truck.
The soldiers surrounding him jumped surprised and he took advantage to their confusion and fired Blush launching Wilt into the closest mans face with enough force to knock him out, he moved quickly grabbing Wilt and dispatching four soldiers before the others could react.
They where to closely packed together so as they fired trying to hit him they would hit their own men as he moved quickly, ducking and twisting through them, 'Eight, nine, ten.' He counted as he cut them down with Wilt or shot them with Blush.
Bullets slammed into his side knocking him off balance, his aura stopped them from piercing his body but now another soldier was moving to bash him in the face with the but of his rifle, but another shot rang out, knocking the solider off his feet.
Adam regained his balance and faced the remaining soldiers ready, to fight. He frowned. There was no one left, every one lay on the ground either writhing in pain or unconscious. "That was quick." he mumbled lifting his hand in a thumbs up jester so that Ruby would see. He could hear sounds of fighting coming from inside of the second truck, the one they had assumed that would hold the Dust and the Dustologist. It wouldn't take long for Blake to take out the people inside it.
Adam raised his hand and motioned for Ruby to come down and join him, he smiled to himself as he dropped his hand. "Time to see how loyal you girls are to the White Fang."
Blake had been hiding in the edge of the forest, once the fighting had begun and the convoys guards focus was all on Adam, she quickly and quietly left her hiding spot among the bushes, heading towards the second truck who's back doors where still shut. 'Our target must be in there.' she thought as ran silently across the black pavement. She reached the rear of the truck and leaned against the cool metal, drawing Gambol Shroud from her back, she had tied the ribbon to her wrist earlier so she just changed it to it's gun form.
She pulled her hood back a breeze blew across her making her hair move and her ears twitched as she listened for sounds within the truck, all she could hear was the sound of fighting from up ahead.
She took a breath preparing her self and grabbed the door, yanking it open, quickly assessing what was inside. There was was six guards, in between them against the back wall was a man crouched down wearing a white lab coat.
The guards lifted their rifles aiming at her, she jumped straight up leaving her semblance, a copy of herself to get blasted away as she grabbed the top of the truck with her hands and forced herself into a handstand to keep herself out of sight.
"Did we get her?" One of the guards questioned softly,
"Go see." Another ordered. A few seconds past, "T-There's nothing here!" He exclaimed.
Blake swung her body downward, her feet slammed into the guard's chest knocking the breath from him. She rode his body down to the ground and fired Gambol Shroud twice before the others could react taking out two more guards. One in the far back fired his rifle, Blake dropped to a crouch and felt the heat and wind from the bullet as it passed between her ears.
She narrowed her eyes and flung Gambol Shroud it slammed into the mans chest knocking him into the back wall, she yanked on the ribbon firing her weapon, the bullet hit the guard directly across the truck in the head knocking him out.
The final guard launched himself at her attempting to hit her with the butt of his gun. Using a bit of dust and her semblance she left a clone of ice that froze the mans hands and gun inside it. Blake karate chopped the struggling guard in the back of the neck knocking him out.
Finally she turned her attention to the man cowering in the corner. Blake walked towards him slowly, he was clutching some kind of box tightly in his arms.
"Go away you can't have it!" The scientist shouted at her. Blake walked closer to him.
"The White Fang want you."
