Okay so before we begin Im gonna thank Mojo1586 again for allowing me to use his OC organization The Red Hand again, the members that will be used will be my own creations though if I end up using one of his I will be sure to let you know who belongs to him in an A/N. Enjoy.
Plaga stood at the edge of a roof looking out over downtown Vale near midnight. Even at this late an hour the streets were as busy as ever with people either setting up for the festival or were just out for a good time. Plaga wasn't here for either of those though, no he had a very special assignment.
Plaga was a Trapper of the Red Hand and many considered him as one of the best do to his ruthless efficiency and merciless approach to his jobs. His tendency to leave no survivors earned him the nickname The Black Death, along with his choice of apparel. Over his body he wore loose black hooded robes that reach down to his mid shin showing a pair of black combat boots with black pants tucked into them. His most defining feature though was the mask he wore under his hood which also helped earn his name, it was a silver plague doctors mask with a long pointed beak that curved downwards. Not an inch of bare skin could be seen.
In his right hand he held a unsheathed katana which appear quite unremarkable, while his left hand was hold a large black coffin that was lined with silver onto his back. Unlike most of his fellow Trappers he didn't wear the Red Hand emblem on his person.
"Trapper Plaga, please confirm status." A voice said into his ear.
"I've identified a target and will confront them as soon as they are alone." He replied into the radio piece in his ear.
"Alright, but remember. No killing, we need one of them alive to extract intel on our prime target."
There was a brief pause. "Acknowledged." Plaga then jumped from the roof down into an alley below.
With Fidelis
Fidelis was currently walking with his arm around Neo as they were enjoying the fresh midnight air. "Yeah, and then me and that asshole Kyzal get into this huge argument about whether or not Grimm lay eggs. We ended up getting drunk and running around downtown Atlas challenging each other to stupid bet." He said with a laugh finishing his story.
Neo was silently giggling as she listened to her boyfriends wild misadventures. It seemed no matter where he went or what he did there it would usually end up being quite interesting.
As they walked Fidelis's scroll rang which he pulled out and answered. "Yo."
"Fide are you still out on your date?" He recognized the voice as Adam.
"Yeah whats up?"
"Do me a favor and pick me up some red and gold dust on your way back, almost all the dust we stole was either lost at Mt Glenn or being used for other purposes." Adam said in a clearly tired voice.
"Ight but you better pay me back."
"You already owe me three thousand lien for bailing you out of jail when you got arrested after that hang gliding incident."
"Whoops I think Im losing you." He said before hanging up and turning to the girl on his arm. "Well my dear I got an errand to run, I'll see you when I get back to our room later." He dramatically said before pulling his smiling girlfriend into a kiss. Moments later she was gone with a flash leaving him alone on the side walk.
As he began walking in the direction of the nearest dust shop Fidelis started to get the feeling he was being watched. He stopped for a moment and took in a deep breath and found that he couldn't smell anyone nearby, nor could he see anyone trying to hide in the shadows. Brushing it off Fidelis continued walking deciding to take a short cut through a nearby park.
"And we run into the fear we run from." He sang under his breath as he walked.
"It has begun." A voice came from behind him.
Fidelis whirled around to face the person who had been following him, though midway through his turn he felt something be jabbed into his neck. He threw a punch at the one who had done it only to miss completely and lose his balance. Fidelis picked himself up and lunged towards the figure only to lose his balance again and fall to the ground. He tried to pick himself up again but this time a hand reached down and lifted him from the ground by his neck.
The last thing Fidelis saw before losing consciousness was a silver mask surrounded by darkness.
"I have acquired the target, returning now."
4 hours later
Fidelis's eyes were heavy and his head felt like it was going to explode. "Ah shit, how much did I drink last night?" He groaned as he opened his eyes only to realize he wasn't in his bed with Neo by his side. He looked around and found himself chained to a chair in a dark empty room with only two lights, one on his left and one on his right. Fidelis immediately tried to break free only to find he couldn't access his aura. "Aura blocking cuffs, damn."
Fidelis sat there alone in the room for nearly an hour before the sound of a door opening behind him broke the silence.
"Ah good, he's awake." Came a female voice followed by someone walking up behind him and placing a hand on his cheek. Fidelis could feel breath near the back of his ear. "Poor dear, you must be terrified." He heard whispered in a sympathetic tone, though Fidelis could tell it was fake.
Fidelis chuckled slightly. "Sorry lady, but this isn't the first time I've woken up bound to a chair." He said getting a chuckle out of the woman.
"You hear that Plaga? The puppy isn't scared." She said as she walked into Fidelis's line of sight and revealed herself to be a extremely beautiful woman with dark blue hair and matching blue eyes. She was wearing a skin tight grey jumpsuit with a zipper running up the middle, though it was unzipped enough to expose a generous amount of cleavage. Though Fidelis wasn't looking at her breasts but instead at the emblem stitched onto the left breast of the jumpsuit. "Like what you see." She asked in a very sensual voice.
Fidelis sighed. "Not really, considering the circumstances." He replied motioning to the chains holding him to the chair. Fidelis looked back up at the woman who was still smiling, he could feel the presence of someone behind him though they'd yet to speak up. "So what can I do for the infamous Red Hand today?" He asked in an overly happy sounding voice.
The woman giggled a bit. "I like this one Plaga, maybe I could keep him as a pet after this instead of just getting rid of him."
Fidelis smirked. "Sorry babe, as tempting as that sounds, Im already taken."
"Ah, thats to bad. And we could have had so much fun together."
"Enough!" An irritated low voice came from behind. "We are here for information Ao, not for you to find another plaything." The man behind Fidelis scolded.
The woman now identified as Ao pouted a little. "Fine." She moaned before turning back to Fidelis. "Before we begin our little interview, why don't you tell us who you are and how your connected to the White Fang."
Fidelis knew what this was and where it was going, this was an interrogation and something told him it wasn't going to be as pleasant as the one with Ozpin. "The names Butch Kozner. I act as a black market weapons and dust dealer to multiple groups, though the Fang are my biggest clients. If I may hazard a guess, would either you or the gentlemen standing behind me be a Trapper?" He asked in his best 'business man' voice.
Ao smiled again at this. "Yes, actually we're both Trappers." She answered. Fidelis cursed inside his head while maintaining a cool appearance on the outside. Fidelis loved nothing more than a good fight but he wasn't suicidal, and trying to take on two Trappers at once with no back up and unarmed was nothing short of suicide. "Why do you ask?"
"Well a few years back I did business with one of you. Sold him some unstable electric dust, nice guy." This got a raised eyebrow from Ao. Even though he was in one of the worst positions a faunus could be in, Fidelis loved to talk and he knew that if he was gonna have any chance of making it out of this alive he'd need to get them talking as well. The more they talked the more he learned and the better his chances he had for making it out of this.
"Oh really, not many of our coworkers would be welling to do business with a faunus. Who may I ask did you sell to?" Ao asked interested in his answer.
"A mister Joel Ambrose." He said causing Ao to laugh and a slight growl come from behind. (A/N Joel belongs to Mojo.)
"Enough of this." The man behind Fidelis said before grabbing him by the hair and yanking him backwards causing the chair to fall backwards and his head to hit the ground. He then placed his boot on Fidelis's neck. "Tell me everything you know about Fidelis the Dead Wind before I snap your neck, you disgusting animal."
Fidelis was actually surprised to hear this and almost had to physically keep himself from breaking into laughter over the irony of the whole situation after he realized what was going on. They were looking for information on him, and unknowingly kidnapped the very person they were looking for to extract intel from. "You know you could have just asked." He said in a choked voice as the man put pressure on his neck. After another few seconds the man took his foot off Fidelis's neck. Fidelis let out a cough. "So what exactly do you want to know." He asked. Never before in his life had he been so glad that so few people knew what he looked like.
With Adam
Adam Taurus was a very busy person, which was to be expected from the one in charge of one of the most infamous crime organizations in the world. Along side being an excellent leader and an inspiration to his men he was also an incredibly talented warrior who was recognized even by his enemies for his sublime skill. But even he had his limits.
It had been almost a year since Blake abandoned him and the Fang, and he'd been running himself ragged ever since. He'd never admit it out loud, though he knew it to be true. Blake leaving had hit him far harder than most knew, Fidelis was among the few who truly knew how badly it had hurt Adam. The night Adam returned after that mission Fidelis watched as his friend fell apart, and Adam knew that Fidelis hated her for it. But even after everything Adam knew he still cared about her, which is why when Fidelis told him what happened the night at the docks he was actually happy to hear that she was okay.
Adam leaned back from the desk he was sitting at in the command room and looked up at the ceiling. He was soon brought out of his thoughts when the door to the CR opened and in walked Neo dressed in a set of pink pajamas covered in chibi white rabbits. "What can I do for you Neo?" He asked the girl, he knew that she and Fidelis had a relationship so he treated her differently than other humans.
She pulled out her scroll and typed out to him. 'Have you heard from Fide? He hasn't been answering my texts.'
Adam frowned. "You haven't heard anything? I assumed he was asleep, have you checked his room?"
She gave him a blank stare. 'We share a room, he wasn't in there.' Her face took on a more worried look. 'This isn't like him.'
Adam was silent for a moment before pulling out his scroll. "Hold on Im gonna see if I can track his scroll, his scroll is specially encrypted but mine is on the same frequency as his so I should be able to." Neo stood there with a frown on her face as Adam typed away into the device. "Okay its searching... its got hi-" He cut himself off as his frown deepened. "Why the hell is he all the way out there?"
Neo walked over and looked at Adam's scroll. On the screen was a map of Vale and on it there was a red flag located about two miles west of Vale's outer walls. "His marker isn't moving." Before he could say more Neo started towards the door. "What are you doing?"
She stopped and typed into her scroll and held it up. 'Im going to help my idiot boyfriend.'
So Fidelis is in a VERY rough spot. Can Neo and Adam bail him out? You'll have to wait and see next chapter.
