Chapter 26:Brawl in the streets
The three were outside fighting with the men at the moment. Two of their men were fighting with Rogue she dodged his swing from his sword. Then she ducked before swifting kicking him to the side. Then she swung her axe at the other but he blocked it with his sword. The two kept going back and forth.
Mercury was busy dealing with a couple of the other men. He kicked his legs in the air with each kick making a shotgun nosie. As he did the shots connected with one of the thugs launching him back. The other got to cover before unloading a pistol at mercury. Merucyr dodged it swiftly before a couple hit him making his aura flicker. But he was still okay.
Jaki was fighting the large man as the two were now standing off with each other. Soon the man rushed forward with his mallet swinging at Jaki. But the man easily dodged it before swinging his axe into the man making his aura flicker. It flickered with a brown colored then the man swung his fist connecting to Jakis face. It launched him back as his deep blue aura flickers. Some blood dripped from his noise but he put his figners to his nose. Then he wiped it off without any emotion looking at the man. The two kept going at it.
The rest of the thugs men were busy trying to keep the police at bay. Six of them were firing at the Mistral police department. The cops took cover behind some makeshift barricade. As they returned fire at the group. As they did the others from the music shop arrived.
"Well if its isn't Eria,how you doing darling"the older cop asked. Eria remembered him the night when she left for Beacon.
"Oh its you, the officer when I was attacked by the perverts when I left for beacon that night"eria replied making her moms ears perk up.
"Pervets?! What do you mean did they hurt you!"she asked her daughter shaking her who was emotionless.
"Don't worry ma'am she gave them a whooping of their lvies, frostbite never hurt anyone."the officer replied
"Alright umm…."eria said before the man quickly said his name
"Litenuant Jacobs, now get down we got a problem"he said as the group got down with them.
"What is happening?"Pyrrha asked
"A bunch of men showed up from nowhere. A women reported a group of strange men as we came to investigate these men started to fire at us. "He rpelied
Weiss eyes light up"their here for your father, their properly fighting him now we need to hurry."Weiss said as she looked at rooftops.
"Pyrrha I have an idea follow me"weiss said as Pyrrha her to the side. Then she held out hand to pyrrha who grabbed it. Then with the click of her shoes a black glyph appeared underneath her launching her and Pyrrha upwards to the roofs.
The others down bellow avoided several bullets as the men kept firing off more shots. Tanner looked above cover ducking as a bullet whizzed by.
"Oh dang I almost got shot….dam this is fun"tanner said smiling
"Dude you and your admiration for danger"perun said.
"We need a way past those bullets"Calida said standing their. Eria then thought about something she could use for this occasion.
"I have a plan I can create an ice wall just give me a minute. Tanner you follow me and use that big mouth of yours to stun them. I'm assuming Pyrrha and Weiss went to help my dad"eria said
Tanner smiled presenting a megaphone"lead the way ice queen"tanner said
"Its princess ice queen now"Eria replied smiling before rushing from the barricade. In her hand was a file of blue dust. The men were fire off some shot but Eria froze the gorund starting to slide across the pavement. As she did she got out her bat then tossed dust vial up. As it came down she hit it with her bat smashing it all over the place. The dust was went in the air blinding the men for a bit. Then her hand frooze over and as she slide on the ground she placed her hand on the ground creating a barrier of ice to emerge from the ground.
Soon a barrier of ice emerged with Tanner rushing forward smiling. As he got close eria had her leveraction shotgun out. Then she shot out some ice with a few shot from her shotgun. Small holes appeared and Tanner took a deep breath. Then he yelled into the megaphone he had as a loud echoing sound that sounded like a banshee even. Came from his megaphone on the other side of this the men with their weapons held their ears.
Perun was rushing from the side of the icewall where the sidewalk was. As he ran loud stomping noise could be heard with each step he took. As he got to the other side he readied his guitar. Then a crackle of energy surrounded him and on the guitar the strings glowed a little with a yellow hue. He strumed the string and from the end of the guitar lighting shot out from it toward the men. It shocked two of them and the other were still recovering with theri ears on fire.
As they finally did one aimed his pistol at Perun but then from the side a hand reached out to the gun. It was glowing red hot as the gun started to melt in the mans hands. Their stood Calida who seemed anger at what was happening right now. She looked at the man who had a look of fear. Before Calida grabbed the man with both hands throwing him into the ice wall as a loud crack could be heard as he made impact.
The other three men aimed their weapons at her before some ice froze one of their hands. As he looked at his hands stuck Eria was the source of it. She smiled before sprinting over winding up moving her bat back before hitting the man across the face with her bat. The fell down as the mistral police came from behind the wall aiming their weapons at the men.
"Hands up mistral police!"an officer shouted as the two men dropped their weapons with hands up.
"Thank you for you help you better get to your husband ma'am"an officer said with Calida nodding with the rest of the group heading toward the hayley house.
Back at the house Rogue was fighting off her second dance partner. She dealt with the first one already and soon enough the second swung down at her. It hit her as she backed looking at him. Then she flicked her wrist creating a small pool of lava undenreath the man. The man looked down as his pants and shoes were on fire. He screamed jumping around trying to put it out.
Then he took his shoes and pants off that were on fire. He breathed a sigh of relief then Rogue came forward widning up her fist. She then delviered a swift punch to the mans jaw knocking him back. A large crack could be heard as she did this. Then she looked over at two more coming toward her. One with a sword and the other with a large rifle.
Rogue then ducked behind cover as the man fired off a shot that loduly rang out. It hit the car rogue was behind and now a large hole was next to her where she was.
"Whoa where they get that thing?"she thought to herself. The second man with a sword slowly made his way over to the girl but as he did a javalin was thrown at him. It pined him to a nearby wall with his shirt stuck to the wall. He tried to remove it as rogue looked to who threw it. It was pyrrha on the roof with Weiss. Rogue smiled giving a thumbs up at her but then another shot rang out near her. The man with the rifle kept firing at her.
Weiss looked at the man before jumping down and with a roll. Then she aimed her gunblade at the man firing off a yellow hue at him. The bullet connected shocking the man as he screamed falling down to the ground smoking.
Mercury was busy deling with his dance partner. As he kicked the guy swung at his leg with his sword. It connected with his shoe which made him sigh with relief. Then he smiled before kicking his leg downward making a shotgun blast. It launched the thugs sword out of his hand. Then he looked at mercury before swinging at him several times with his fist. But mercury was better than him then he dodged another swing before delivery a flurry of punches into the man then finished with an uppercut.
Pyrrha was staring down the last two men looking at her. They both looked at each other before nodding then both took off running to the side. Only to be met by the rest of their group joining them. Tanner smiled as the two turned the corner kicking one down. While Calida grabbed the other by the collar smiling. Then she let one hand go before punching him in the face knocking him to the ground.
Jaki was busy trying to fight the large man. As they fought Jakis hair was now disheleved as he was breathing heavy and the man just stood their. Jaki then gritted his teeth before he swung his axe at the man and they collided their weapons. The man blocked his attack then Jaki put his hand on the mans wrist. Then ice slowly creeped his way up his wrist but he wasn't bothered by this.
The man then headbutted Jaki face making him stumble. The man hand seemed to shake a little before the ice started to fall off. Then he looked at Jaki seeming to smile underneath his mask. Then he brought his hammer up smacking the ground. Then from the ground a tremor like wave came out Jaki knocking him off balance as he fell down. As he tried to get up the large man rushed over placing his boot on his back.
"Stay down little man or else"he said
Jaki looked to the side smiling as he said this which confused the large he looked to the side at the large group staring at them. Everyone looked at man and he looked at all his men who was taken out. A few of them were slowly getting up but mistral police came from the side pointing their weapons at them.
"Give up now and we'll have the police take it easy on you."Weiss said pointing her blade at thim
He looked at her surprised and started to laugh to himself. The group were caught off guard by this and confused why he was laughing.
"Oh man can't believe his kid here…..this is going to make my job hard. "The man muttered
"Hey who the hell told you about my job?!'he yelled asking weiss
Weiss looked confused at his question on what he meant."ummm what do you mean, we were just on our way back from shopping. Then we saw a shootout happening, then an officer told us you were invading someone home."Weiss said
She had to keep up the lie, because if she didn't. Something would happen to whitely or even worse wren. Her father doesn't like them getting involved in his business endevors. The man was brutal when you got in his way.
"Hmmm well then I know when i've lost, i'll peaceful surrender"the man said as he lifted his foot off Jaki. Then he backed away from him as everyone rushed over to him and port who was knocked out on the sidewalk. As the man backed up with his weapon still in his hand. Rogue,Mercury,Tanner,Pyrrha and the police surrounded him.
"Drop the weapon now!"an officer yelled
"Yes if you wanna surrender drop your weapon sir."pyrrha added
The man just laughed chucklin to himself as with a click of his button. His hammer then switched into what seemed to be a thompson drum gun. Then he aimed it at the group smiling.
"Get down!"tanner yelled as they all went for the man fired a flurry of bullets at the group. In the hail a few of bullets hit the ground leaving fire, ice and electrical trails on the kept firing as he back up a little holding them off as a few of his thugs got up retreating with him.
"Come on boys were leaving job went bad"he said as he then fired a few shots at rogue who stuck out a little in her cover. Mercury noticed this before he dived into her out of the way. As he did a shot hit his aura and luckily he was okay. As he tackled rogue he held her and rogue looked at him dazed.
"You alright?"he asked worried with Rogue nodding.
"Yeah….you?"she asked with mercury nodding. Then they turned to see the man gone from the scene. They all looked at each other wondering what their going to do now. Later the police were getting some statements from the crowd along with other people.
"Hmmm seems someone wanted your head today " replied.
Jaki was being tended to by some paramedics with his blooded nose. "Seems so….but who would be after me. My weapons company isn't that grand, who would want my head."Jaki said as Weiss looked to the side nervous.
Calida noticed this looking at the girl with worrie. Then she grabbed weiss by the arm along with Pyrrha for some reason to the they got away from the cops the two teens were confused.
"Why are you dragging us over here ?"Pyrrha asked
"I have a question and the only person I trust not to get mad is you Pyrrha alright"Calida responded with Pyrrha looking a little worried
"Weiss do you have something to say?"caldia aksed the young schnee
Weiss fidgetted with her jacket sleeves trying to look away. But she slowly breathed in and out then letting out a sigh."yes…..I know who hired them."weiss replied shocking Pyrrha
"What do you mean whitley said he heard about it…."Pyrrha said than relzied something
Weiss looked at her nodding her head that she knew what exactly the young champion was thinking weiss took another deep breath in."My father hired them to kidnap Jaki Hayley to expand the Schnee Dust Comapnys market"weiss said
"That doesnt make sense my husband works with weapons not dust."Calida replied
"No but he does own a few dust mines if I recall. Apart from my fathers he does hire faunus, but instead of slave work he provides homes for them and warm meals. Compared to my father he's the better businessman."weiss replied
Calida knew what she meant her husband owns a few dust mines that he bought. But to think that he would be threaten just for that."so your saying that man went after my husband over a few small mines?"she asked
"No, from what I gather those mines might have had rich quantities of dust there. My father has several mines but some have become infested with grimm or collapsed. He must have wanted to kidnap him so he signs away those mines"Weiss said
"Hmm that does seem like the most resonable answer. Do you think your brothers will be okay?"pyrrha questioned.
"I hope so…..if he hurts them I…"Weiss said, clutching her arm before stopping herself looking at the two. Calida's eyes twitched at what she just heard. While Pyrrha looked a little shocked at what was just mentioned.
"Are you saying your father is going to hurt your brother, because of a failed kidnapping?'' Calida asked, seeming to brust with looked down sad at this because they wouldn't be with mother for another five days. She at least treats them right, her mother has tried to stop the abuse. But to no avail her father has powerful friends.
Calida fist glowed red hot as she seered with anger. She breathed in and out slowly trying to calm herself down. Then she punched the wall next to them leaving a smoke red hot mark on the wall. Then she smiled like her usually self.
"Don't worry dear…..i'm sure they'll be alright. Also next time I see him I'm going to ask him about this infront of all his little business friends"Calida said eyes closed creeped the two teens out because she looked ready to kill someone.
Back with the others mercury kept messing with his pant leg as Rogue took noticed. She walked over surprising him slightly as he stopped what he was doing.
"Oh hey fire strater whats up?"mercury asked
"Your leg alright? You keep messing with it"rogue replied
"Oh its nothing….these pants are just uncomfortable right now is all nothing to worry about"mercury replied. Rogue looked at him weird studing his face as Mercury looked a little worried. But she sighed before smiling tapping him on the shoulder walking away.
"Okay tough guy you keep telling yourself that."rogue said smiling walking away while Mercury looked at her smiling as well.
Port was finally stirring awak and was told what just happened. He understood and soon spoke to the police. Along with calling their bullhead to come and pick them up sooner instead of tomorrow. As he did this the other three joined them finally.
"Hmmm so now what are you guys going to do?"tanner asked arms crossed
"I don't know i'm guessing where going to be leaving earlier than expected."Eria said disappointed it seems.
Peron smiled walking over"hey don't look so gloomy, we'll be visiting you guys soon when the vytal festival happens. Maybe we'll even go against each other."perun said smiling.
Eria shook her head smiling at this"lets hope not or you'll have to go against the walking tank on our team."eria said
"Really what is he super strong or something?"tanner joked
"By strong you mean being able to turn into a giant armor brute. Along with a giant blade for an arm for one of his semblances then yes."Eria added which made Tanner smile it seemed
"Oh I like challenges from time to time. Sounds like alot of fun in my opinion."tanner added
"Please don't try and fight the guy with the big knife dude,"Perun begged.
"No pormises"tanner replied smiling wrapping his arm around Perun.
"Alright children, the bullhead will be here tomorrow. I tried to get it to come sooner but they needed to refuel it and it won't be done until the morning. We'll just need to be on our guard tonight."port said
Calida walked over to her husband hugging him it seems with a worried look. As they do Jaki seems to be thinking about something. His wife noticed this because she's seen her husband like this many times.
"Alright dear….what are you thinking"She asked
"Nothing….i'm being hunted down by an assassin. I was thinking about a place I know that has several trained huntsmen and huntresses. Maybe I could catch a ride and visit an old friend by the name of mulberry"Jaki said smiling at Port.
Port's gaze narrowed as he shook his head to the man's comment"I could arrange something with Ozpin maybe to let you work part time at the school."port replied with Jaki nodding.
"Alright despite this little brawl in the street. Why don't we all head inside and clean up. Then we can have a big dinner at your parents' restaurant Tanner"Calida suggested.
Tanner pondered for a moment then smiled"yeah pops can let us do that just for tonight. Lets just say it's a big going away party."tanner replied with everyone smiling. Soon hours went by as everyone got cleaned up from early and now headed to Tanner family restaurant. The place seemed like an old fashioned diner and inside was everyone.
All of them were eating some fast food, or food they brought with them. As they ate all of them joked around with each other. Along with talking about their little brawl. Tanner was on the table gloating but his mom pulled him off the table because he was diritng it.
Tanner mom looked to be her her late thirties, standing at 5.6ft tall. Her eyes were dark blue, her skin was medium skin tone. Her hair was blonde and seemed to be long reaching her shoulders. She wore a simple pair of blue jeans with a yellow jacket with a laughing syber grimm on the back. She wore a simple black t-shirt on underneath it. Along with a pair of boots colroed brown. Her name was name was Deborah
While apollo and tempstas brought some music from their shop to play for their little get to gather. As they did Port and tanner father were arm wrestling with each other. Perun, Melody, Mercury and rogue were watching this. Soon enough Port slamed tanners dad arm down winning. He cheered proudly yelling bravo-ho.
Tanner's dad looked to be muscle in appearance and his skin was tan. His eyes were dark green and his hair was cut short colored black. On his face he sported a goatee that was a little bushy. He wore pair of brown jeans with an orange t-shirt of a outlaw on the back with his bandana up. On his right and left arm were some tribal tattoos around his arm covering it in a spiral. He had on a pair of black biker boots. His name was Gaspar
Jaki was off to the side sitting down with his daughter eria close. The two watched the festivities play out as Eria stared at everyone smiling. Her father took note of this and commented on it.
"You've become a great huntress, from what I've heard and seen. You've grown so much, you and your sister. I'm proud of both of you."Jaki said, making Eria smile.
"Thanks dad it was nothing, me and her are on a fantastic team back at Beacon. I just hope their doing alright now."Eria said looking over at Perun smiling. Calida finally came over snuggling against her husband then noticing her daughter staring at Perun.
"Seems like my little girl got another crush"calida teased softly making Eria look at her mother blushing.
"Mother your mistaken….its just…um"eria said with Calida laughing and Jaki just watching.
"Come now dear I've known this entire time you see him. You should ask him when he comes to the Vytal festival. Not today because it's been really crazy on account of the gang war today."Calida said to her embrassed daughter.
Back with Port him, mercury,pyrrha and weiss along with rogue were surrounded at a nearby table. They were discussing the hitman or kinapper or who they were. Port knew alot of these assassins since he encountered some he tried to recall him.
"Hmmm from the look and how he fought…..I would says its clay burrows"port exclaimed
"Who's that?"Pyrrha asked curiously.
"He's an assassin who works with his lover Betty Parker. Both are highly trained assassin, along with running a gang they call the Knuckle Dusters"Mercury spoke up.
"How do you know about that, my boy?"port questioned.
Mercury gripped his arm tightly as he looked away. Then he looked back at them closing his eyes."because my dad told me."he replied
"Your dad…..do you think he could? '' Weiss began as she relized that he was staying quiet then looked down.
"Hey you're alright ice queen you didn't know about him. Although he did train me to who I am today."mercury said
"Really what do you mean by that?"pyrrha asked
"My dad was an assassin, he would only take out gangs or criminals. But one day he picked the wrong gang to mess with. At the time my mom was dieing from a disease she contracted. She soon passed but that gang started to come after us. We traveled all around the remnant to escape them.''Mercury said looking sad.
"But what happened…..are those gangs the same one those two run?"Weiss questioned
"No…..but dad is also the reason I don't have my semblance at first. He had the power to take them away or nullify them. He was scared I wasn't ready to use it because of all these assassins after us. Then he started to train me but at times he turned to the bottle to deal with the grief of my mom. He….hit me sometimes."mercury stopped closing his eyes
"He didn't mean it I know, I saw it in his eyes afterwards. But one day some men came into the dead of the night light the house on fire. Then as it happened my dad killed them all but he got shot up pretty bad, he protected me. We escaped the house andhe gave me it back saying I earned it. He died in my arms and I never wanted to use it again."mercury finsihed
"I'm very sorry for your lose my boy, despite that he must have been a good man to care about you like that and prepare you for anything it seems."Port replied
"yeah…..I know he did, lets continue this party then"Mercury said then a fire appeared from a familiar gauntlet.
"You said it kid"Ember said in full fire form, freaking him out along with everyone else in the room.
"Oh crap mom get the hose we got a sexy fire lady on the counter."tanner yelled as Deborah ran to the back with a hose ready to fire it but the fire spirit started to laugh.
Ember laughed at that"thanks for the compliment kid…..but drop the hose it won't work on me"Ember replied as she looked over studying Jaki and Calida. She then got of the counter wanting to walk over but couldn't because of the stupid gauntlet. Rogue walked over picking it walking it over to her parents.
"Mom, dad this is Ember spirit of the infernal gauntlet. Apparently shes been in our family for generation. "Rogue said casually
Calida looked surprised at this while Jaki just studied her intrigued.
"Fascinating, it seems your soul was combined to the gauntlet. How long have you been in my adoptive family?"he asked
"Years kid i'm really old….but i'll happily help my family out any time."emebr replied
"Wait you guys are related to some old lady in a glove…..awesome"Tanner said walking over.
"Please don't burn down my dinner"Gasper begged and Tanner laughed a little at that.
"Well this day just keep getting weird. Lets just call it a night i'm too tired to deal with this today"Calida said
"Same here you kids should get back home. Pyrrha here are the extra key i'll help clean up the place."thetis said
"Us too might as well since we live close by"Apollo said with his family helping out too. Soon the groups went back to their respctives homes going to sleep. Then it was the next morning as the group including a new member were getting ready to head back to Vale. Everyone came to see them off.
"Have a safe flight, my little snowman, call me when you get back,"Calida said to Jaki.
"I will my fire flower,"Jaki replied to his wife, kissing her on the lips.
"Hey we'll be seeing yah soon twins, good luck you'll need it when going against us"tanner said
"Oh you bet T we'll cream the floor with you"Rogue said as two stared each other down.
"God you two will be the death of me"eria added
"Same here Ice Queen….we'll be seeing yah have a safe flight ladies"perun said walking away with Eria smiling a little before getting on the bullhead.
"Thank for your hospitality "Weiss said
"It was no problem and sweetie good luck with that little boyfriend of your"thetis said making Pyrrha blush
"Wait who told you?"pyrrha asked as Weiss lifted her hand smiling and Pyrrha looked embarrassed
"Hey someone had to tell your mom you've finally been defeated….by love"Weiss said as Pyrrha smiled playfully tapping weiss shoulder knocking her down. Soon everyone boarded the bullhead and made their ascend. The engines roared as the ship jetted off to Vale to join their friends
It seems their on their way back to vale with a guest as well in their midst. But it seems weiss is hiding something about what her father does to her and her brothers. Calida, Jaki, Gasper, Deborah, Tanner, Melody, Perum, Clay, Artimis, Tempstas are my OC's. Thanks for reading!
