The adventures of Onyx and Red continue.


Onyx finishes transferring Gamboge's money to another as Red mourns the loss of his pet.

"Time to go." Onyx states.

Red and Onyx head back to the roof and into their airship, taking the bodies with them. They fly back to Red's apartment.


"Gamboge is a multi-millionaire, we are set for life." Onyx states.

"Yeah, but I'll miss the thrills." Red states.

"Don't forget what you taught me." Onyx warns.

Red nods and places his hand on Onyx shoulder.

"I don't think this is over yet." Red states.

Onyx looks at Red, with a confused look on his face.

"I got caught on the security cameras, Gamboge's men are going to come after us now, if not the police." Red says

"I erased the security data during the money transfer. Besides, right now Gamboge's group should be fighting over control, he never established as successor or even a second in command. And if they involve the police, most of their crimes will be uncovered." Onyx states.

"Regardless, we better prepare, just in case." Red says.


-Present Day-

Onyx sat on his bed with Ebony laying beside him. Onyx pets Ebony as he gathers his thoughts. Onyx's earpiece, which he gave to one to each member of the Ghosts for communication, begins to beep. Onyx presses to fingers on the earpiece to activate it.

"What is it?" The Rider asks.

"We are approaching the drop zone." Camo states over the Com.

"Tell the others to head towards the Armory." The Rider orders.

"Roger that." Camo says.

Onyx gets off the bed and Ebony follows behind him. Onyx puts his overcoat over his armor and a grey full body hooded cloak over his overcoat. Onyx and Ebony then head to the Armory.


The Ghosts, minus Camo, meet up at the entrance to the Armory.

"Intelligence reports Rubine's airship was recently spotted in this area." The Rider states.

"How hard is it to find, it's a giant flying ship!?" Volt says.

Onyx glares at Volt.

"Rubine's ship is equipped with an Active Camouflage." The Rider states.

"So how is it spotted?" Volt asks.

"The camouflage can only be used for so long and needs time to recharge." The Rider answers.

"So what's up with this drop zone?" Volt asks.

"Rubine's airship was last spotted docked at the location of the drop zone, we are here to find out why." The Rider says, "Anymore questions?"

"No." Volt states.

"Well then..." The Rider begins.

Onyx opens the Armory doors, revealing not only Atlesian weapons, but weapons Onyx stole during his time with Red. Onyx had stored the weapons in a offsite warehouse before relocating them to the airship's Armory.

"Take your pick." The Rider finishes.


After a few minutes of searching, the Ghosts had all been equipped with weapons. Light had taken a large white shield with a golden trim that collapses into a bracer to accompany his sword. The grip on the shield can also rotate. Volt took two grey pistols that converts into a sabers, named Shock and Awe. Silicon wielded Onyx's original weapon.


With the exception of Night, all the test subjects had been given this weapon during their time at Umbra. When Umbra was disbanded, Night and Onyx were the only ones who kept their original weapon.


Brass had kept his own weapon, Mass Dawn, a pair of bronze gauntlets, above each his knuckles are barrels that extend slightly when Brass makes a fist. Flame also kept his weapon, Pheonix Wrath, a sniper that converted into a axe bladed staff. The blades were designed to look like phoenix wings.


With their weapons acquired, the Ghosts opened a portal near the location Rubine's airship was spotted. The Ghosts look around, recognizing the area as a village.

"Spread out." The Rider orders, "Report if you see anything."

The Ghosts nod and split up.


Flame walked around until he noticed someone in an alleyway. It was Rubine, Red, and a another man. He was wearing metal kasa with a bladed edge, a black, knee length overcoat over a red turtleneck, grey cargo pants, black boots, and black fingerless gloves. Flame activates his Com.

"Found Rubine, Red, and someone else." Flame states.

"Flame, stay with them, Ghosts, rendezvous at Flame's location." The Rider orders.

The Ghosts regroup at Flame's location and watch Rubine and Red as they talk to the third person. Onyx opens a portal and the Ghosts exit out of sight of their targets. Volt, Brass, and Light head to the other entrance to the alleyway, allowing the Ghosts to block both exits.

"On my mark." Rider says, "Now."

The Ghosts enter the alleyway with their weapons drawn. Rubine prepares his shield and Red draws two pistols identical to Redemption's Edge, except colored white instead of red.

"I see you've got your old gang together." Rubine states.

"Weapons free." The Rider orders.

Rubine blocks Onyx, Silicon, and Flame's attacks while the mysterious man blocks the others, using his hat as a shield.

"Red, now!" Rubine orders.

Red takes out his scroll and presses a button. Umbra's androids begin to flood the area and surround the Ghosts.

"Form up on me!" The Rider orders.

Onyx runs to the town square and the other Ghosts follow. The androids surround the Ghosts as Rubine, Red, and the mysterious man take their leave.

"Take care of these androids, they're mine." The Rider orders.

Onyx jumps over the army of androids and chases after the three escaping enemies.

"Noctis, deal with him." Rubine orders as he continues to leave.

The mysterious man, now revealed to be Noctis, nods and turns to face Onyx. Noctis throws his hat at Onyx. The hat hits Onyx and knocks him backwards. When Onyx looks up he sees the hat is back in Noctis' hand. Noctis throws his hat again, this time Onyx dodges and fires at Noctis with Redemption's Edge. Noctis pulls his hat back to him using a cable that is attached to the hat and his hand. Noctis' hat blocks the shots as he holds it as a shield. Onyx holsters his pistols and takes out Alternative Retribution. Onyx wields the weapon in it's scimitar form. He charges at Noctis and jumps into the air. Onyx slices downward towards Noctis, who blocks with his hat. Noctis pushes Onyx back and throws his hat at Onyx. Onyx deflects the hat and takes the opportunity to attack. He draws one pistol and fires at Noctis. Noctis dodges and redraws his hat. Onyx charges at Noctis and slashes at his hat, knocking Noctis' arm towards the side. Onyx kicks Noctis backwards and fires on him. Noctis takes the hits, but is pushed backwards. Onyx and Noctis stare at eachother, they appear evenly matched. Onyx activates his second blade and flips the weapon so it's edges face him. Onyx curves the handle so that the false edges of the scimitars connecting to form a single blade, creating an arm blade. Onyx charges at Noctis before being fired upon by Red. Onyx blocks with his blade as Noctis escapes with Red.

"Damn it!" The Rider says to himself.

The other Ghosts arrive shortly after Red's and Noctis' escape.

"Camo, check the database for anyone by the name of Noctis wielding a metal kasa as a shield." The Rider orders.

"I have a match." Camo states, "Sending the data to your Tactical HUD."

"Data recieved." The Rider says.

Onyx hosters his weapon and opens a portal back to the airship.
