Ok here is where I'm gonna try making the chapters a bit longer.
Romeo
I've quickly grown used to hiding in the shadows. Not allowing myself to be seen as I go on these test runs for my master. Before I was incredibly adept at the art of going unnoticed. But the new addition has been a massive help for when I needed to get to high places quickly. The legion arm has quickly grown to be my favourite upgrade that master has given me as of late.
Creeping into an empty alleyway, I shot the grappling hook at the top of a roof too and let the legion arm pull me atop the building. The master had said that this arm wasn't the last of the legion arm models, but rather the first. And I admit, I cannot wait to see what else he cooks up.
Running along the roof tops I made my way towards the docks. Specifically towards the warehouses in Empire territory. Master had wanted me to make a splash tonight, to make a heavy impact against the empire. So he sent me towards one of the E88 warehouses that held a lot of their items. Guns, drugs, money. You name it. Masters words, not mine.
Anyway the master had told me to eliminate all threats inside the building and then to incinerate the building. Afterwards I was to leave an emblem of a black cat modelled after my mask. All too increase the infamy of the 'Black Cat'.
Flashback
"I need you to be a known element in Brockton bay." Master spoke as he worked on the finishing touches of his arm. "I need you to be my proxy, my point of influence, at least until I can handle all the threats that are in the Bay. Until then you are gonna be the only piece of evidence that ,Geppetto even exists."
"For that to happen you need to be powerful enough to battle even the toughest of capes." He twisted a screw in the arm and continued. "So that's why I keep sending you on these trial runs, to see what works and what doesn't. But most of the modifications I've made on you have a use so there's been no point in removing any redundant things."
Master finished up the last touches on the arm and closed the latch on the arm.
"Ok, so what you have here is called the Puppet String. It can pull enemies towards you or yourself towards enemies. You can use it to pull yourself to high places and to pull yourself in a direction." He smiled. "I do like the name grappling arm as well."
He unhooked me from the table and walked towards one of the cabinets. Pulling a few items out of it he turned and walked back towards me.
"Tonight is not a trial run. I already test the arm with Dorothy in vigorous tests that simulated almost all the situations you'll find yourself in."
He revealed three items. An red canister, an emblem of a black cat and finally a green grinder item.
"These will be important for you tonight. But I'm not totally sure if you'll need to use the acid grinder, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Ok you'll be heading towards an important safe house of the Empire. It's a cache of a large portions of guns, drugs and money. It also holds most of their blackmail material."
He looked me in my eye, I kept my sight straight ahead.
"You will take out any threats at the warehouse and destroy as much of the blackmail as you can. Take as much money as you can and destroy all the rest. Destroy the warehouse if you need too."
I was confused.
"Master... I do not have the necessary fire power to bring down a building of that size."
He smiled.
"I had hoped you'd say that. The legion arm isn't just a glorified grappling hook. It's also a powerful bomb. If things go down to shit real bad you can detach the arm and the fingers into the palm in this sequence." He proceeded to push the fingers of the palm in a specific sequence. "Don't worry the only way to arm it is to have it off of you."
"Once you have imputed the sequence you will have one minute to escape the blast radius of the bomb." He looked me in the eye. "You are to came back no matter what after you done your mission."
"Anyway off you go." He smiled. "Spread your name Black Cat."
"Of course Master."
Back to the Present
Romeo
Having scouted the warehouse I had taken note of about 20 E88 nooks stationed around the building and an unknown amount of people inside. Taking all that into account I decided the best course of action would be to take out all the grunts guarding the building first.
Climbing over the roofs I made my way atop my first victim. I would do my best not to kill these people even if my master wanted me too.
I watching carefully I waited for him to stop directly underneath me. Deciding now was the perfect opportunity I dropped quickly landing behind him.
"Wha-!" He choked on his exclamation as I wrapped my arms around his neck a choked him out.
Once he was out cold I used the grappling hook to bring us to the roof and left him there as I went to deal with the rest of the grunts.
I shot the grappling hook into one guys foot and pulled him to the dark alley I hid myself in, quickly knocking him out.
I dropped on two guys who were talking and knocked there heads together.
On and on I took guy after guy out. And about thirty minutes into my mission I took all of them out.
Making my way towards the building I used the arm to sling myself to the wall of the warehouse, slipping through one of the windows that were open.
Hearing a commotion inside I took stock of the inside.
A gathering of E88 people that surrounded a group of eight black people tied to chairs. Already one person was holding a gun against the head of one of the hostages. To there side was the villain Victor.
Of course an initiation was being held here.
Thinking quickly I shot the head of the hook into the gun holding goons back and pulled him back. He screamed as I pulled him straight onto my blade, disemboweling him.
I pushed him off my blade and decided to try to intimidate everyone.
"No one is going home tonight anything less than an ambulance."
They all paled and stepped back
Super Effective.
