NOTE: Yep, I am officially insane. I am now writing 2 fanfics of undetermined length at the same time. This one you are reading, and The Case of the Sliver Chain. (It is a Sherlock Holmes crossover, and a bit choppy. I was kind thinking about this fight scene when I typed it...)
The odds were bad of the assassin. Goat grinned. This would be too easy. No mater what the killer was going to pay. Goat and his men quickly encircled the killer. Goat saw the assassin shift slightly. He let out a chuckle. Shifting a foot won't do him any good. Goat subtly nodded to Deer, who swung his fist. This was going to work.
The assassin sighed. He hated stupid people. Goat nodded to someone behind him. The assassin didn't know what the unknown attacker was going to do. But the best way to avoid a punch? Not be there.
Eagle watched, opened mouthed, as Rider ducked, slightly before Deer punched. There was no way Rider could have known. Unless... he scanned the room. No one was giving the assassin and siginals, and help at all. Eagle quickly turned back to the fight.
Deer stumbled forward, and received a vicious kick to the head, courtesy of Puma. Shit. They were too close. This was over before it started.
Wolf stood up. They had started to fight dirty. the assassin had grabbed Deer and used him as a body shield to block Puma's kick. Wolf still was unsure of the outcome. If there was less people they would fight harder. But they mught panic. Wolf retook his seat. While he wasn't betting, like some soldiers a few tables over, he wanted to see how this played out. They hadn't gotten any entertainment lately.
Goat wached in horror as Deer fell. Puma was soon after. This was not going well. The assassin was turned away. Goat made a desperate choice. He didn't want to loose any more men. He felt behind him, sliding his hand along the table.
Fox watched the fight with a grin plastered on his face. It wasn't going well for ether side. The assassin was taking hits left and right. He even stumbled a few times. But the other side was taking hits too. much harder its. After the assassin had used Deer as a shield, anyone who got knocked out was removed. So now it was four against one. Not much of a difference, but it could go either way.
Snake had moved to a better view, and was now standing on a table with a few other soldiers.
"Look." One pointed.
Goat was sliding his hand across the table.
"Is his going to jump on the assassin?" Another asked.
"No. " Snake felt fear curing is his gut. Goat held the knife. How could they have been so stupid. Goat had said he wanted to kill Rider. Goat inched up behind the defenseless man. Snake opened his mouth to shout.
Goat got in position,. He saw a few solderscoming forward. They knew what he was about to do. It was now or never. Deer caught his eye. He was shaking his head. No. Don't do this. But Goat had no choice. he quickly stepped behind the assassin and raised the blade.
