Summary: With Sean injured and his friends threated it's time Nick finally faces off against Akira Kamora.
Blood In The Streets
Despite outward appearances Kimura was a junkie like the others Nick had faced recently, the Schakal did a poor job of hiding his trail. Nick believed this was like Sean had said, Kimura must have figured out who Sean was or figure he was powerful enough to ambush but not kill. With him out of the way Kimura had forgone any reason to hide his activities, he truly thought threatening a Grimm's allies…no friends ment he had the upper hand. How wrong he was and Nick was more then happy to explain this to him.
But he had to tread cautiously. Any chance he had to do this swiftly would quickly evaporate, if Kimura realised for even a second the card's were not in his favour after all. Nick had a plan in which he could deal with Kimura without spilling innocent blood, but it all hinged on him trusting Sean's people to play their parts.
Sam and Serena where ready, they trusted their prince and for some reason the wandering Grimm. They were ready to rid the world of this stain that was ruining lives for his own interests, no one would mourn this scum but they will mourn the lives lost if they fail. As Serena remained to watch over their prince's wellbeing, Sam was no fool his skill's were great and numerous honed over years of training but his were no match for Serena's. Sam was more than aware the young woman he'd worked alongside for many years, had more than enough power to snap his neck without even raising her hand and with great ease.
So, after finishing the cigarette he'd lit up to help him think, he cast one last look back towards the hospital before pulling on his jacket and heading off to meet Nick.
Melissa Wincroft sat at the counter of the Diner, her mere presence gave off an air of regality though her body language was walm and welcoming. As the queen of the Mellifer her duties were to her hive as well as her community, when the news of a Grimm within their community had reached her ears, she sounded the alarm. But as new spread of his warmth and calm nature as well as his alliance with the prince, her hive spread the support. So, when she received word that the Grimm was looking for her, she was intrigued to find out why. Little did she expect to receive word about his plan and his interests, she quickly agreed without question. Now she was sat waiting to meet the young Grimm in person for the first time, even though her kind were very rarely a threat to the Grimms didn't mean she wasn't cautious.
Nick entered the diner and looked around, after spotting her he walked over and sat down beside Melissa.
"Mrs Wincroft?" he asked with a smile as he took her hand.
"Miss Wincroft, but please call me Melissa. I must admit your quite the enigma, but that is not the reason we are here" she said with a smile as she pushed a notebook towards him.
"My people have been spread near and far to find this man, he's hidden his tracks well but not well enough. Know this Grimm he's a small part of something bigger, his time is mark whether it be by your hand or others. For his actions against you and our prince it should be by your hand but remember your actions will send ripples near and far. Goodbye Grimm and good luck" she said with a smile as Nick got to his feet and after paying for the drink, he bid her goodbye too.
"Thank you, please keep yourself and your people safe. Blood will run in the streets soon, pray it's not innocent" answered Nick as he left and headed to the streets.
Outside sat his faithful bike and after casting a last look at the diner, he kicked off the stand and hit the road. The warehouse district by the docks was out of sight of the main city limits, it was a maze of buildings and cargo a perfect place to face down Kimura. As Nick pulled into a small side road away from the main gate, he was surprised to see another bike parked beside it. He wasn't surprised to see Sam resting against it smoking, he looked up flashing Nick a smile that could chill even the most hardened heart to the core before standing up to greet him.
"Not that your not a welcome sight but why are you here Sam?" Nick asked the other man.
"This is your show Nick but it's gotten personal. The prince save many of us so now it's our time to aid him as well as the one he favours. Serena wanted to be here but she's watching over the prince as well as stopping him trying to join us, so what is the plan Grimm?" he asked with a tone that said his help wasn't optional.
Nick reached into his bag and pulled out the box he'd been carrying ever since the Trauminsel bust, Sam was in awe and apprehension as he kept his distance from the accursed object. Putting it away he turned back to Sam with an evil smile on his face.
"He's a Junkie and like any junkie he needs a fix, that's why he's been hunting me, hurting those I care for. He thinks I'm weak because of how I conduct myself as a Grimm, he's never seen me truly fight and he's never met me in the open choosing the shadows to hunt from. I'm going to force him to face me on my turf and for that I will need your help" explained Nick as Sam lent back and listened intently until he finished and with a dark grin, he shook Nick's hand in agreement.
A few days past and life continued on, Kimura was getting antsy. Day's had past and after he'd got desperate and attacked the Prince, he'd began thinking his message had backfired. He'd become worried when he'd failed to see any signs of the Grimm, that maybe he'd left town to protect his friends. He started stalking around the hospital but had been thwarted to find the prince was heavily protected, he'd gone to the spice shop and was also enraged to find it also protected by wesen and human's all connected to the Grimm and the prince.
He had no choice as he returned to the hospital, he had no more options available to him. As the day's past he became more and more agitated until he finally saw his chance. He saw a familiar face, the tall slender dark-skinned male that usually protected the prince from the shadows. He knew he'd seen him with the Grimm more then once, so if anyone was to know were he was it was this man. He began following Sam as he'd found out the man's name was, as he fulfilled his day-to-day duties. He held back his temper and his desire to attack the man and force him to tell him were the coin's were, but he knew it would get him nowhere. After all he'd tried to do this before and was left in his current situation.
It was later that night that he would seize his opportunity, he'd followed Sam for day's with no sign of the Grimm until he'd received a call out of the blue. Sam had packed up what he was doing and headed to a hidden warehouse behind the south precent, the small sign read 'Evidence Lockup' as he snuck round the grounds until he finally found his mark.
He couldn't hear what was being said but when he saw the Grimm arrive, he felt his anger grow, that was until he saw what he'd been looking for. The small wooden box that had haunted his every moment within his hands, he watched as the Grimm cautiously looked around before handing him the box. He watched Sam place the box in his satchel and as he and the Grimm mounted their bikes and with one last look the Grimm was gone, he followed Sam as he left the meeting place.
Finally, he would have the coin's again, the prince's bodyguard was no match for him. Growling to himself as his woge twitched from one form to another, he took off into the shadows as he followed him through the city and into the docks.
Sam pulled in by the Harbourmasters office and after speaking to him he continued deeper into the darkening cargo area, slinking round in the shadows Kimura watched him as he entered a particular warehouse. Seeing his opportunity Kimura could no longer hold back his growing cravings, climbing up a shelving unit close by he lept down on top of Sam with a growl. Wogeing he was caught off guard as Sam reacted the same, Kimura flailed as he used his claws and teeth to slash at him.
Getting lucky, he managed to catch Sam a few times causing him to bleed, finding his strength starting to fade Kimura panicked at the idea of losing the coin's once again. He looked round until he saw the shelving, he'd lept from, pulling it down he just managed to miss it as it came crashing down on top of Sam. Managing to mostly move out of the way Sam was hit on the shoulder sending him spinning to the ground, the box was knocked from his person in the process and hitting the ground the box was split in two revealing it was in fact empty.
Kimura howled in anger at the discovery as he saw red, turning in anger he rushed towards Sam to finish the job, when suddenly the sharp sound of someone whistling made him stop and turn.
"Looking for something?" yelled Nick as he held up one of the coin's in his gloved hand,
"YOU" growled Kimura in a rage
"Come and get them asshole" yelled Nick as he took off out of the warehouse, Kimura hot on his heels.
Swerving through the huge maze of cargo containers, hidden within the shadows of the night Nick knew that Kimura's sight would be able to track him through the dark but his own skills would keep him on his feet. Ducking into one of the cargo containers he waited for Kimura to race past before he exited, before he began climbing up the metal walls making sure to make as much noise as he could. He could hear Kimura growling as he followed behind hastily, but his highly strung state ment he was struggling.
Finally at the top Nick turned to wait for him, standing his ground he let the Grimm rise to the forefront, Kimura cared little for Nick as he finally took his wesen form and gave Nick an evil smile. Flicking out his claws he let out a loud and pained screech before he charged Nick, side stepping quickly he could avoid or block Kimura's attacks with the grace and speed of a dancer. Toying with the man who's cause Nick so much pain over the years brought Nick a sense of dark pleasure as he watched him tire, that's when Nick struck.
Grabbing at his shirt Nick pulled him forward and brought his knee right up, into Kimura's face with all the force he could. Kimura's mouth erupted in a bloody mess as he stumbled back, Nick could feel the dark nature of his Grimm heritage rising up within him. Normally he would taper it down for fear of what would come of giving into it, but not tonight right here and now he was the nightmare of the wesen world. He was the dark shadow that hung over his family name, he was the reaper of vengeance for all those Kimura had condemned in his selfish quest for his self-inflicted addiction to those accursed coins.
Kimura's attacks became more and more frenzied as they also became more animalistic in nature, a blood like rage was now burning through Nick but it was to cost him. Kimura made a move and charged him, Nick used Kimura's anger to flip him over his shoulder but it was misjudged and Kimura was able to get his claws into Nick's back. Tearing open a large wound into his back, forced Nick off balance as he and Kimura toppled off the cargo container.
Nick hit the solid metal wall with a bone breaking thud, before coming to rest just on the very edge of one of the container's halfway down. Kimura on the other hand went completely over and hit the water below hard, the sound of the impact was the last thing Nick remembered before his world faded into a blackened mess of pain.
