@Letter Bee Yeah I know, you don't have to post it up here to tell me that something's been posted on discord dude.

I just gotta ask, what use does Vesta have for English? She might as well just take the whole Kindle from Alexander if she really wanted more knowledge, and how the hell has his Kindle not died yet, I don't think he cut it off and cut it back on randomly to check time, or recharged it. It would've probably made a little more sense for Vesta to say."Hand over the device and I'll teach you how to throw rocks at people." The post just sounds a little odd to me tbh.

After that jewelry store job and getting manhandled by Mishka, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth, my mood turned into shit and my ego was kicked in the teeth. I kept second guessing my thoughts of future jobs, I felt like the others either shrugged it off or moved on thinking that the job was just bad luck, but I felt as if was some sort of sign and not just a sign that I fucked up and got someone crippled for life, no it felt bigger than that. I felt my robotic left arm shake while sitting in the hideout, a lingering fear that Mishka will be here and just end everything I built up, then I heard the door swing open and instinctively turned to it reaching for my guns but only having my hands greet empty holsters.

A dark silhouette of Mishka walked into the hideout, a fire sparked up around the warehouse and I felt frozen in fear, screams began filling my head, the images of Akira and Rika flashed in front of my eyes before Mishka grabbed me up by my neck, my eyes didn't meet normal eyes, but met hollow white sockets." Gaz, your nothing but a one armed bandit." I felt an immense amount of pain in my left arm as she pulled it out of my shoulder and threw me to the ground." See?! You're nothing but a fucking failure! Everything you touch dies and those fools will die along with you."

I snapped away in my room in a cold sweat, I looked at the synth flesh on my arm seeing it still attached before I got out of bed. I jumped into the shower thinking about if I should leave the group myself, when I got out and donned my favorite hoodie and some jeans, I managed to lay back on the couch before someone came into the hideout. Unlike my dreams, I broke out my hammer pistols and aimed at the figure standing in the doorway, but when I noticed the big wolf ears, I put the guns down as Ven walked in with something wrapped up in her hands." Void damn it Gaz! Why are you so jumpy?"

As she walked closer to me closing the door behind her I questioned her." What are you doing here today?! Don't you have work or something?"

"No, I have the day off, so I decided to get something for you." She unwrapped the object and showed me my gas mask." I went back to the store and decided to get it back for you. I was thinking about what you said a couple days ago, and I'm sorry, you are right, I haven't felt the pain you and the others have felt and in the moment I was just angry."

Once she handed me the gas mask, she apologized again and I stared at the cracked plastic and beat up looking respirator, I saw my reflection in the remaining plastic before I let out a smile. I couldn't explain it, but something calmed me down a bit and made me feel a bit better. I took the broken gas mask and slapped Ven upside the head with my left hand mostly hitting her ear, her face twisted into a scowl." What the fuck was that for? I did something good for you, asshole! I got your mask!"

" Yeah, but at the cost of almost getting caught by the police, what if the cops saw you and followed you back here?" I told here?"

Her face changed from a scowl to a look of surprise and fear she put her hands on her ears, she started sweating." There... There weren't any cops there, there were a couple drones, and a small area set up with evidence and stuff, I snuck around the drones and took the mask from the evidence table and nobody saw me, I'm sure, I know that nobody followed me, who the hell wants to follow someone as boring as me?"

I plucked her on the nose before telling her."If nobody saw you then you shouldn't be worried about it pup."

Suddenly I heard chitin covered feet on the upper level of the warehouse and looked up to see Ash leaning over the railing in just a tank top and her panties." What are you two yelling about?" The myr questioned us.

"Fur ball here went back to the scene of the crime and got my mask back, and I'm taking the ship." I pushed myself past Ven heading outside to see Bates and Yan talking." Big guy, I'm going on a journey." I told him." You're in charge, so do fuck any guys at the gym for too long and make sure Ash doesn't get lazy and lay around too much."

I headed over to the garage passing the Renegade and laying eyes on the ship, I slammed my fist into the button and opened the garage ceiling before Yan and the others chased after me and stood behind me in the garage doorway." Gaz where are you going?" Yan asked." A soldier should inform his squad of his actions."

"Yeah, how do we know you're not just up and leaving us?" Ash asked.

Looking back to Yan and the others, I gave them a warm smile."One, Yan we aren't soldiers and we're aren't a squad of them." I told him." Two, why would I leave you guys? I'm just going on a quest, might take me a bit of a while to get back though. But have I ever steered you guys wrong or too wrong?"

Bates chimed in."Well, there was the last job we were on."

"Bates shut up, that was a bit of bad luck really." I defended myself.

I turned to the ramp and went up inside the ship, I made my way past the small common area and into the cockpit to see Noi in the co-pilot's chair, she had her face shove into a small pile of bright blue powder covering most of the dash, I could instantly tell it was Rush, Noi's favorite nose candy. I snapped my fingers twice getting her attention, she pulled her face up and I got to see her nose and cheeks just covered in the blue powder." Hey! Hey, get that stuff outta here, scat scat!" I made her scoop up the small pile and take it with her out of the ship, and then feeling as if the cat girl sticking around, I decided to change my mind." Nevermind, come on get back up here Noi."

She slowly made her way up to the cockpit and put her rush powder back onto the dash right above the controls."Where we going?" She asked while playing with her nose.

"Right now we're gonna get space bound and get near the warp gate really, I need to find someone, so I'm gonna get on the dark net. We're going on a journey kitty kat."

Horrible send off


When me and Yan got Akira into the hospital, nurse droids and doctors put him onto a stretcher before taking him down the halls and out of sight, one of the nurse droids soon approached me and Yan, she began asking what could've happened to Akira for him to be that injured, I quickly came up with something to tell her." He got into a bad fight with a couple guys in an alleyway, I don't know if they were trying to rob him or kill him, we just found him that way and he couldn't move and I wanted to just kill the bitch that did this to him."

"Sir, please calm down, we will report your friend's assault to the local police and they can make an investigation."

Once she began heading to the front desk, I stopped her." Wait, when can I see him?"

She looked up to the ceiling as if she had to think about it for a second then told me." Around an hour, sir." The gynoid told me." But I'll be sure to tell you when you can visit him, but right now I need to proceed with procedures in my programing sir."

I let the robot woman go before sitting down in the waiting area, Yan put a hand on my shoulder telling me that he'll take the others to the hideout before he left, once he was gone, I sat on a bench for what felt like hours, I watched people come in and out, watching people argue with the nurse droid about random things or the paperwork she'd give them, then saw another person just, vomit when they came in, then another person just arrived to get a prescription filled. Once the nurse droid waved me over for what felt like hours, I walked over to her and listened to her tell me Akira's room number and after running down a couple hallways and past many patients and doctors, I found Akira.

He was bandaged and lying in bed with one of those EKG machines connected to him, he looked over to me as I pulled up a chair to the side of his bed." I fucked up didn't I?" He asked.

I wanted to be casual with him and tell him that he did more than that." Forget about that, did the doctors give you something to help you? They tell you when you're going to be out of here?"

He looked over to me with his eyes before saying." I don't know."

I leaned forwards asking him."What do you mean? You don't know?"

" Dude, They told me my neck and back are broken, they told me something about vertebrae in my spine being out of place and my neck being broken, they said that it was like my neck was in a vice."

I held back tears sighing before telling him." Fuck, I'm sorry, I guess no more anime cons or rouges for you then."

His eyes went wide." W-what?" If he could get up, he probably would." I can't be in the gang anymore man?"

I stood up, looking down at him." You can't walk, you have a broken neck and vertebrae in your spine." I walked over to the chart by his bed reading what was wrong with him." Even if you recover from your broken neck you'll be paralyzed from the waist down."

" I, I could get like a pair of walking pants or get some cybernetics and have robotic legs like you, or get some prosthetics, I can still be with the gang, you don't have to kick me out."

I set the chart down."If your brother was alive right now, he'd be beating the shit out of me and crying his eyes out at the same time, and I wouldn't blame him for doing it. He never told you, but he wanted you to be better than the both of us, he wanted you to go to college and make something of yourself, but the both of us were in over our heads and Mishka reminded us, it's all fun and games till reality kicks you in the teeth." I put a hand on his shoulder."I'm." I swallowed my words."I'm sorry man, but you're out."

He didn't cry, he was probably holding back his tears and just told me."I-I understand."

"I will make sure your money gets to you." I told him.

I began turning around to leave, but then he told me something else." Gaz, it's not your fault, I was stupid and now I'm paying for it."

Standing in the doorway, I looked back to him." No, it wasn't Kira, everyone I care about around me dies, you got lucky."

As I left him with that and walked down the hall, I felt surprised with how far we are in the future and can't yet fix a spine properly, medical tech must've come far but not far enough for spinal and neck injuries. Then in the corner of my eye a familiar old small Asian woman came into my sight and came right for me, she grabbed me by my hoodie with her tiny hands, I instantly knew who the woman was when I saw the wrinkles on her face and graying hair."Gaz, I told you not to involve my boy in your stupid little gang. I already lost Akihiko because you boys wanted to play gangster and joined a gang. I told you I didn't want Akira playing with you anymore."

I could see the tears in her eyes." Now I got one boy in the grave and one in the hospital because of you!" She screamed at me.

Looking down at the mother I told her."I wasn't with Akira, he doesn't even hang out with me Ms. Itō I-."

" Don't you bullshit me boy, you might be able to fool the stupid girls around your little block and the ones you play around with, but you can't bullshit someone as old as me, Akira would talk non-stop about how cool you were and the things you would do." Many people in the galaxy would eat up my lies as if they were candy with others being able to see right through them, Akira's mother was the small minority that could see through my sweet words as the bullshit that it actually was."I don't want you to go near my boy again, I don't want you to talk with him at all."

I didn't argue with her, I knew it was the right thing."Don't worry, I won't get near your son ever again Ma'am." I told her in a sincere tone.

She had a surprised look on her face as she let go of me."T-thank you Gaz, I just want to make sure my boy has a future in this big scary galaxy is all."

"I know, I didn't see it till it was too late, I didn't take Akikhiko's words to heart and ignored what he wanted and used him to my own agenda, no amount of apologies could express my regrets or quell any pain towards you or Akikhiko's spirit." I started to sound like I turned Japanese.

She left me alone to go see her son and I took my time walking out of the hospital, the first face I met once I got to the lobby was Ven oddly enough, I was surprised that she was here of all people.

"Gaz is he going to be okay?" She asked."He looked as if he was going to die."

"His neck and back are broken, he may not fully recover and his mother told me to never speak with him or see him again. He's not a part of the team anymore, I told him that he's out."

"Oh." She looked away from me as her dog ears flattened against her head." I, uh, nevermind, we should get back to the hideout." She looked at her watch wrapped around her furry wrist." Or I should get to work." She left. Once she left I stood outside as a rainstorm rolled in, I stood in the rain just thinking about ways I could've turned everything around, I began wishing I could just go back in time and tell myself to do prep work, scope out the store, maybe we could've found out Mishka was there, or hit it a day where she was out elsewhere. But Greed and excitement, the idea of having gems from unknown planets roll out of my hands and Cyn giving me dozens of credits for them made me rush in, I forgot the rule of not letting greed get a hold of me and blinding me.
Zin Parallex



After finding out Vesta's whereabouts, Zin decided that she'd need to join her in battle and unfurled wings to fly, when the green scaled dragon woman flexed all of the muscles in her legs, got into a half crouched like position, she leaped up in the air a couple inches and held out her arms in front of her, then like most things that are up in the air, she landed on the ground, hard. The Dragon woman landed face first into the ground with her tail up in the air, she pulled herself off the ground and noticed she bloodied her own nose, she wiped her nose ketchup onto her scales." Damn it, I need to assist Vesta and make sure she's safe." The dragon woman dusted herself off." I'll need to learn how to use my wings."

Looking back up to the mansion, Zin got an idea on how she could teach herself how to fly, she charged herself past Vivi nearly knocking the small Celestia down and her maid before rushing into the mansion and climbing up almost over of dozens of stairs, when she met the roof barbarian dragon unfurled her wings once again in an almost majestic manner, the idea of getting hurt from doing this wasn't in her mind, and if it was, it was far from the first thoughts in her skull, getting to Vesta was the only thought she had in the front of her head and flying was probably the fastest way for her to get to the silver haired woman. Zin Threw herself off the roof with her wings out behind her thinking that she would fly this time, and when she began to quickly glide, she started to believe that she was doing it, but when she got low to the ground with her gut and breast being dragged across the ground before she landed this time a lot less rough than last time.

When the Dragon woman stood up, her coat burst at the seems and fell off her, but she wasn't focused on her clothing at the moment, Zin was thinking about why she didn't fly this time, she only flew for a couple meters before she was forced down to the ground, she put a scale covered hand onto her chin and thought about it for a while then snapped her fingers and got it. She rushed back to the mansion and rushed to the roof a second time, she had it this time she knew she was going to get it this time, she had a plan and was gonna go through with it.

Zin leaped up onto the ledge and this time she dived straight downwards and landed straight into a tree instead of luckily just slamming straight into the ground and giving the Celestia's one less headache, Zin laid tangled up in the tree's branches and leaves, as she broke the branches and pulled herself out of the tree and fell to the ground, she went back to her thinking pose from when she first glided off the roof." I did it before, but how do I keep myself in the air?" She asked herself as a bird fluttered down on the ground in front of her, as the bird chirped and flapped it's wings Zin got it and snapped her clawed fingers." That's it, I've got it."

The dragon threw herself down at the bird and caught it in her clawed hands." I'll eat the birds and harness their energy and skills, when I eat enough of them, I'll finally get it." She ate the bird whole and coughed up some of the poor creature's feathers." Now for more."

Just like that Zin began a sort of crusade against the birds around the Celestia mansion, like a starving cat preying on mice, the dragon woman hunted them down and pounced on them with no mercy and ate them whole, with the thought of gaining the ability to fly in the front of her thoughts. On occasions she would be caught by Vivi with a bird in the hand and squatting in a bush or coughing up feathers like the cat who just ate the canary, but like the dragon she was in most of those occasions she'd just stare down the smaller Celestia and look her in the eye as she would just consume the birds around them. At the end of the day, Zin would keep throwing herself off the top of the mansion only to glide or land head first into a tree, with each fall to the ground making her more dedicated to her crusade against the birds.

Only when it felt like weeks, probably 4 if Zin was keeping count, of shoveling birds into her gullet and giving herself over to gravity many times, Zin finally, got it down, she understood how to fly. The Dragon woman got onto the roof once more, this time knowing she won't eat dirt and gravel this time around, Zin got a running start before jumping off the roof and extending her wings, once she was in the air, she began moving them up and down using the muscles in her back and chest to move them up and down in a manner similar to the birds she hunted down and ate, knowing Zin she probably will never figure out that she learned how to do this by just chasing the birds down and copying their wing patters as they flew away, no to Zin she believes that she gained this ability through eating small helpless creatures, probably for the best people keep their tiny pets away from her.

Once Zin's feet met the ground, she smiled at knowing she could, do what she was going to do, whatever it was again, during all that time of bird hunting and devouring Zin forgot what she was doing it for. Feeling as if someone else would know, Zin charged into Vivi's room and shook Vivi asking her what she was doing it for only for Vivi to feel confused and tell the dragon being that she didn't know before Zin let her go and tried to put her memories together and it came back to Vesta, when Vivi mentioned that Vesta would be returning the next day Zin wondered how long had she been throwing herself off the roof, and hunting down birds.

When she was told that Vesta would be returning, Zin just left the younger Celestia alone before thinking about Vesta's reaction to her new form, Zin looked down to herself, looking at the scales on her body and certain places and figured Vesta would probably attack her on sight thinking that she's a monster of some sorts. Zin began to prowl around the mansion and looked for something that could cover her entire body, something similar to a cloak or some sort of wrap, after she got through watching a couple maids dust and clean a reading room with the rectangles that people stare into called books, Zin didn't really care about them and thought of them as a waste of time, she then left the two to their duties and went on to what looked like a room where more of the maids were cleaning clothes and folding them.

The moment the maids noticed Zin they visibly tensed up as Zin began messing up a stack of nicely folded up clothes and ruined their hard work, when Zin found what looked like an oversized cloak she took it with her before leaving the maids to clean up her mess. As the next day came Zin put on the cloak and did her best to keep her wings folded down into her back to make herself look like a normal human so when Vesta would arrive, she could see her without a rock hitting her in the face or getting crushed by a boulder.

Once Zin laid eyes on Vesta passing through the mansion's gates, Zin instantly rushed her with her cloak just flying off her, She jumped ready to pounce on Vesta." Vesta!" She shouted to the top of her lungs.

Blood and bullets


I rushed out of the store pulling up my codex and began searching for Akira's signal before I began running in any direction, when I found his signal on my GPS, I began following it as fast as could and each time I turned a corner, I laid my eyes back on the digital map, then soon just had it in front of my face as I kept running, then I slipped on something wet, it was a spot of blood on the ground. Part of me wanted to scan the blood to know who's it was, the spot had a trail in front of it leading into an, I wanted to scan it with my codex to make sure it was Akira's but I didn't think about it and charged down the alley, hoping that I wasn't too late, the piss smelling alley let to a tiny empty lot with Kira's body sprawled out on the ground." Akira!" I shouted his name before a heavy thud landed on the back of my head.

The giant brute began slamming their fist into the tiles and roofing materials as I pelted them with burning energy ammunition, I quickly dodged out of the way of her large fist as she smashed an ac unit, I ejected my empty mag before slamming another one in my SMG, smoke was rising off the massive woman as I got ready to empty another magazine into her." Hold up!" Yelled a gruff voice followed by two shots from an Eagle handgun. One of the shots hit the woman in the belt and the other hit her belt buckle making a loud hissing sound, behind me a large man quickly jumped to help me." She's mainlining something in her belt, it makes her the way she is, now that it's broken we need to wait for her to shrink down." He spoke as if he knew the woman, but now wasn't the time question someone coming to my aid.

Long almost endless streams of a bright orange substance came from the woman's belt as the hissing noise grew louder, the monster looked to the both of us before ripping out a ventilation duct with her shrinking hands, she hurled the mangled metal at us, and in the heat of the moment, the large man stepped in front of me and let his shields take the blow, his shields crackled and fizzled out taking the blow he stood in for. I quickly got in front of him before I started firing at the slowly shrinking body builder, steam began to rise from her body glove as I emptied the entire magazine into her suit, with each connecting shot more steam began to rise from her and she decided to just jump off the roof and to the street below, I didn't bother chasing after her and looked to the guy.

" You won't be a bother too will you?" I asked him, pointing my empty gun at him.

He held his hands up before telling me." What! No, I called one of you to help us." He told me.

" Well, I expect you and your group to pay me and my partner well for this." I told him before briefly thinking about James.

Once the Jap fired, we both shot each other, apparently he wasn't that bad of a shot as I first thought, the two of us got an arm shot on one another and his bullet nearly made me drop my piece, dived and rolled behind a slide and turned on my shields. Whatever bullets he was using made my wound, burn hotter than Ausaril during summertime, I put a hand over the wound before peeking out at the guy and nearly losing my head peeking. I leaned on the slide before saying." You're pretty good." I spun my revolver around my trigger finger, then I rolled out of my playground cover to nobody being there, he just vanished into thin air." Damn, gone already." Suddenly I had a feeling something was behind me, instinct kicked in and I spun with my revolver first only to have my hand stopped.

I spotted the well suited guy out the corner of my eye, he put his gun to the side of my head and pulled back on the hammer."Sayōnara, Space cowboy." Before he could send me to the great desert in the sky, he hesitated and pulled out his codex. On the other end there was someone yelling."Damn it!" The Jap yelled before someone else stepped into my execution and shot my would be executioner, the sound of the rifle was none other than Simo, then his voice buzzed in my ear." If the director saw this he'd kick you back to your old ranking, your lucky he's not a target."

The Jap held his fresh gunshot wound before he surprisingly turned invisible before my very eyes." What in the Hell?" I heard his footsteps move away from me before hearing his voice once more.

" You live today cowboy, if we meet again on my, I'll be sure to show you I'm better than 'pretty good'." He told me before I heard him run off

" You got lucky James, this will stay between the three of us."

I thanked him over the communicator.

" You also should also need to work on shooting from the hip, next time just aim down your sights instead of going for style." He lectured me, I didn't bother trying to explain it's not just style, it's much more than that.

When I came to, Mishka kicked one of my legs before walking out of the alley way spitting on the ground." Fucking garbage right where you belong." Once she was gone, I pulled myself together and crawled over to Akira, I laid a fur covered hand on his bloodied face, I wiped some of the blood off his face and he coughed to life.

" Kira!" Pulled his head into my lap." Are you okay?"

He struggled with his words, breathing them out."I...I can't move." He told me between breaths." My..My neck hurts Ven." Bloodied tears streamed down his face.

It took me a while before I could get Ash and Noi to the Van, with Ash clinging to me like a scared child, and having to drag a depressed Noi. When I pried Ash off of me, she curled up into the van with Noi just looking as depressed when I first found her. Personally, I felt like someone slapped me in the face with a dick and I felt like I couldn't do anything about it, then I had that feeling of anger welling up in my stomach that made me just wish I could the entire heist over again but this time know what was coming and handle it or just have us abort the whole thing.

I put my hands on my face before taking a deep breath and focusing on the situation, I checked the van noticing Yan was gone, I couldn't leave him behind, plus he had the keys to drive the damn thing, Bates on the other hand just looked pissed." Noi look over Ash." I told her before calling Ven hoping she wasn't dead or was to much of a coward to actually do as I said.

When she answered she sounded like she was in the middle of getting her ass kicked and sounded scared, she was babbling too quickly for me to process anything and I told her to."Calm down."

Once she took a deep breath, she told me." Gaz Kira's I don't know he's hurt bad, he can't move, I don't know what I should do."

" Is Mishka there?" I asked.

" No, she's gone."

"Okay, when I see Yan we'll make our way." I began hearing sirens." Shit! Alright, we'll meet you when we can."

"So now the cops finally get off their fat asses to do something." I reached into the Van and pulled out a Laser shotgun, but before I could do anything, Bates just took the shotgun from me." Gaz I'll lead them away from you guys. Ash isn't in any condition to fight, I'll send them on a goose chase, lose them, then meet back at the hideout."

I was about to stop him, but he was already dead set on his idea and ran off towards the sirens. Then, almost as if it was scripted to happen or just fated to, Yan and the small schoolgirl both arrived, when I laid eyes on the blonde body builder, I gave him a 'where the fuck was you!' look and he just crossed his arms and told me."Hand over the loot Gaz."

" What?" I told him.

" I said, hand over the loot, knowing you, even if this turned into a shit show, I know you snagged some loot, you at least have one bag."

Not wanting to argue with him I grabbed the single bag filled with something me and Bates scrapped together before leaving, I gave the bag to him and he handed it to her." It's probably not much, but I think it covers our lives."

The school girl un-zipped the duffle bag looking inside of it and zipped it shut." I guess it does." She told us in an almost apathetic tone before walking away.

"Yan we have to get to Ven, Akira's badly hurt, we need to go get him."

" What about Bates?" He asked.

" He went to go distract the cops, he'll meet us at the hideout."

The two of us got in the Van and tracked down Ven, when I got to the alley a million things filled my head, I wanted to yell at the fucker for running after Mishka, I wanted to feel sorry for him, I wanted to punch him in the face, but the one thing I wanted most was to just get him out of that alley. I slowly made my way down to the small empty lot and spotted Ven cradling Akira's head, I didn't know what to say to him, I just stared and he looked back at me just coughing up the word."Sorry." "I'm sorry."

I grabbed his legs while Yan grabbed his arms and put him in the Van, when Yan started up the engine, Ven asked me."What are we going to do with him?"

"We're gonna take him to the hospital, take off his body armor and get rid of anything that will make him look like a criminal." I put a hand on Akira's shoulder and looked down to him." I should've just listened to your brother, told you to get an education be smarter than us, don't be like us. But I was too fucking stupid to listen."

Lucky break


Moving as quick as lightning, the sci-fi cowboy yelled out "Draw!" and pulled out his revolver, he aimed his sights on Jiro shooting at him twice from the hip, the first bullet knocked Jiro's gun from his hand and the second broke his fancy looking pistol.

Right when the Gold Myr woman tried to turn her sights on him, a vent dropped from the ceiling, hitting her in the head and brought her to her bronzed chitin covered needs, out of nowhere a small woman dropped from the ceiling and landed on Marishka's back, from my position all I could see was that the small woman was dressed like she was a high school girl of sorts with a thick bulletproof vest and tactical gear.

It didn't take long for Akira and Ash to get a clue and go for their weapons, I could see the two set their sights on Mishka and right before they could shoot, she dangled me in front of the two of them in an attempt to stop them.

Then Akira surprised me, instead of doing like Ash did, he actually fired at me trying to hit Mishka, the pellets from his shotgun ripped through the flesh in my arm and my only reaction was to groan in pain before Mishka threw me at the two." Jiro quit rubbing your wounds! Karat stop sitting around! Marishka stop giving that little bitch a piggy back ride, take down this cowboy and this girl and clean up the rest of them!" Mishka yelled at them before surprisingly enough, she began leaving.

Once Akira noticed Mishka leaving, he jumped to his feet chasing after her." I'm not letting you get away damn it!" He shoved his way past Jiro and knocked over Karat before going after her. I tried getting to my feet with the world spinning around." Kira wait!" I tried yelling to him only to be pulled down just as Jiro was about to shoot me. Ash pulled me into her cold armored embrace, I could feel her hands shivering as she held me, as much as I wanted to, I didn't break free from her grasp, I didn't want her to feel scared even with all that armor on, I closed my eyes and only sighed hoping that Akira would be okay.

" Hold on there china man! Your fight is with me." I heard James taunt the suited guy. I pulled out my knife stabbing the giant latex woman in the back several times before she jumped back first to the ground, I leaped from her and next to James on my feet.

Then the suited man spoke up." I'm Japanese, you ignorant American." He drew another pistol from his suit jacket and shot off James' hat running towards him, the giantess then turned her attention to me cracking her latex covered knuckles." I'm going to rip out your spine bitch." She threatened me like a knuckle dragger then soon the two stood in front of us and I quickly asked." Want to switch?"

" And risk dueling someone almost as good as me? It wouldn't be a fair fight." The cowboy told me with a bearded grin.

I pulled a flash grenade out of a pouch on my rig and threw it at the two blinding the big woman and not effecting the suited guy, from a quick glance he looked like an old school Terran Yakuza, the anger in his eyes told me. Then I had to pull my attention back onto the giant woman covered in latex, despite being blinded, she charged in my direction, I swiftly rolled out of the way as James began leading the suited man away from the store shooting at him." Just try an' shoot me ya Jap." He sprinted off as the Gold Myr began getting to her feet and noticed her two allies gone.

" Guys! Mother said clean them up, not run off and kill them in the public!" The glowing breasted ant girl screeched.

Right when she laid her black eyes and antennae on me, she aimed all of her pistols at me, just when I thought I'd have to berate James for running off, one of the robbers wearing a blue jacket tackled the ant woman and tried to stab her. I turned my attention back on the big woman, she wiped out her eyes and stared down at me."Didn't think I'd need to use this on you, but I'll squash you like the skinny bug you are." She slammed a closed fist into the buckle of her belt and her muscles began rippling, latex covered veins began sprouting on around her black spandex covered, even her height grew taller, she matched the size of an ape on steroids.

I got low to the ground, someone of her size would have to be slow, the massive hulking woman moved almost as fast as me, nearly crushing me with a giant fist and cracking the concrete pavement. I drew my knife again and dragged my knife across her gut while dashing behind her and expected blood to splatter along the pavement, but to my surprise her latex was tougher than I expected, I quickly jumped onto her back and tried to stab her in the back of her neck, just to be quickly grabbed this time and thrown up in the air.

I thought fast grabbing onto a gutter pipe and clinging tightly to it before climbing to the roof, it didn't take long for the beast of a woman to launch herself onto the roof and nearly bring it down while landing on it, once we were face to face again, she began chuckling as I glared at her." Your little knife won't be able to cut through my body glove, it's a good piece of Hale federation tech boy."

I sheathed my knife again." Fine then, I was trying to challenge myself. I pulled out my Salamander Smg from between my rig and my shirt." I guess I could just shoot you instead." I shove a magazine into the compact machine gun before I started emptying the magazine firing on the woman.

Putting one foot in front of the other, I brought the well suited to a park where many of the dog people and some of my people let their kids play, but once they heard me fire off my revolver they grabbed their kids quickly and scattered like cockroaches. I Jumped over a sandbox as the Jap behind me reloaded his handgun for the third time while chasing me." Whoo boy, if you're running was like your shooting, I'd be dead by now." I taunted him.

My well suited opponent growled before pointing his gun at me again, twisting my elbow and squeezing the trigger, I shot his gun out of his hand, again, I flipped open the cylinder emptying it out and putting in a speed loader, snapping it shut and dropping it back into my holster. The Jap cracked his wrist before simply taking out another pistol from his nice jacket and loading a magazine into it." You're pretty cowardice for a cowboy. Plus, you seem to be a couple centuries too far into the future, John Wayne."

I had my hand hover next to my revolver." Well, you seem to be far from home mister Jap, are people like you cutting off pinkies and drinking rice wine?" I could see the anger welling up in his eyes and when he started aiming his gun I yelled out."Draw!" before grabbing the handle of my big iron.

When the coast looked clear, I nervously looked back and forth as I crawled towards the store on my hands and knees hoping nobody spotted me. Yan gave me a ski mask before he rushed off following his nose, I felt a mix of anger and fear as inched myself closer to the store, and once my fur covered hand felt glass I spotted Bates trying to overpower a gold Myr before anything else. The ant woman threw the tanned human off her and grabbed a piece of glass trying to stab him, I quickly went for the fire extinguisher and clubbed her on the back of the head with it and knocked her out.

After I knocked her out I remembered the small pistol Yan gave me and wanted to face palm myself for not using it." Ven." My name was called out. I looked over to see Gaz, but something was different about him, he was on his knees and clinging to him was Ash, she was shivering in her heavy armor before looking up to me with big worried black eyes." G-Black, Yan c-"

"Stop it, just call me Gaz, Ven I need you to find Akira, you gotta find him, I need you to." He grabbed me with one of his hands getting a good grip on my jeans." Find him for me, he ran off after Mishka he wants to avenge his brother." He looked up to me, face covered in blood, red tears welling up in his eyes. " I-I'll find him." I told him.
Rouges
Shitty reunion


As I waited for the others to rush back, I drummed my fingers against the steering wheel with an uneasy feeling stirring up in my guts, I looked back to Ven on her laptop, the holo screen had several different numbers and words scattered across the screen and it looked like another language to me. When the blue haired Ausar began turning to me, I looked back towards the street and wondered where the police was, usually they would be here by now, a jewelry store would have a fast response, the moment when I glanced back to Ven once more, all of the numbers disappeared from her laptop." Something's wrong." The dog girl barked.

" Yeah, no cops, alarm went off and-" Before I could finish Ven cut me off.

" No the alarm was shut off just a few minutes ago, so now the police will dismiss it and call in, Something isn't right, this was suppose to be a smash and grab, not a smash and let's dick around." She spoke quickly typing on her laptop." I'm calling Gaz."

When the dog woman pulled up the commlink, there was someone else talking, it was a voice I was familiar with." Is that? No, it can't be her." I felt like running to the store and rushing in so I could save the others, but it would be stupid of me, and from the names she was calling out she wasn't alone.

" Yan, who is that woman?" The ausar questioned me.

" A monster that looks like a human, gimme that coder." I snagged the plastic and metal rectangular device and examined it, turning it back and forth." How do you?"

She snatched it back from me with a sigh." It's a codex, not a coder meat head, and what do you want me to do?"

" I need you to call someone for me." I told her. Part of me was hoping this guy could help us, or at least give us some words of encouragement before we run in shooting.

Many thoughts were running through my mind at the moment, with each thought speeding by like a customized hollow point, I even began questioning my sitting position and rifle at the moment, right when I was about to re-adjust and force myself into a leaning position my headset came to life." You're being quiet, can you actually see me?"

I looked down the iron sights of my ancient rifle and spotted my partner sitting on a bench in the middle of a hotel courtyard. She was wearing a black coat covering most of her body, and from this far I could still see the small details of her, her pale skin, bright blue eyes, small nose and flat chest, under that coat I knew she had an odd petite but muscular build." Yes Eiko, I see you now, our target is taking too long and the rooftop up here isn't exactly comfortable." I complained.

"Simo last I remembered you were one of the best snipers in the galaxy, and here you are talking about not being comfy on a rooftop." She began messing with me.

I got onto my gut, only to go back into my crouching position telling her." Last I remembered, I didn't get shot in the head and put into a coma for a year."

Suddenly another voice came into my headset." Now, Simeon you shouldn't be rude to a woman, especially one that could floor you in a face to face fight."

"It's Simo cowboy." I told him before wiping some sweat from my forehead, before I could continue talking, I felt a vibration in my pocket, I took my headset off and answered my codex's info link only to be greeted by one of the criminals I met a couple months ago.

"Are you Simo?" A gruff man's voice asked.

" Speaking, is there something wrong?" I gave him a question back.

The gruff sounding criminal began to quickly fill me in on the situation, and I began to set my rifle down." I'm not too far by, but I'm in the middle of a contract with two other agents. I can't leave my position, but I'm willing to send them both to help you, but in exchange for their aid, you need to split your loot with them as payment to take down this mu'dak."

There was desperation in his voice as he spoke to me, but he soon agreed." They will be there to handle the situation, Yawn." I hung up and put my headset back on." James, there's a nearby jewelry store being robbed, go save the robbers from the owners space cowboy, look for the guy with the white hair and dark skin. Eiko put on your combat rig and give him James backup."

" About time I got some action, standing around was getting on my nerves, Colter out."

"I'll tell the hog that I'm running late so you still get your chance, be sure to confirm the target's death, Eiko out."

I finally took up a sitting position with the crook of my elbow, keeping the barrel steady, I peered down the sights and watched Eiko quickly walk away, I let out a breath of air feeling a little more comfortable with my new sitting position.

A heavy punch to my face knocked me out of my daze and Mishka tightened her hold on my neck, she kept her grip tight enough for me not to get lucky and break free, but just enough for me to speak."Gaz, I never believed I'd see you again, but here you are, a gunshot wound to my back just annoying me." she broke my nose slamming her fist into my face again." But like every bullet it's time to remove you." She pulled her face close to mines and I could feel her fingers tightening around my throat but she then stopped and looked to the others." No, I'll kill you, but first I'll make you watch your failure allies die first."

The giantess had turned me around with a hand on my head now." Choose Gaz, now which one of these failures of the galaxy you want to watch die first?" She asked me." The useless junkie? The brotherless wannabe criminal? The serial killer? Or the broken soldier?"

I looked to the others before telling Mishka." None of them are failures Mishka, all of them bring their own thing to the table, something you can't see." She delivered a punch to the back of my spine and I could feel a pressure build up in her hand." Fine then, I'll just kill you first, doesn't matter to me what kinda trash you lump yourself in with." I grabbed her wrist with my hands trying to stop her, I dug my nails into her hand getting no reaction as she slowly crushed my skull.

I closed my eyes and grimaced as the pressure on my head felt unbearable, nothing I was doing could stop her, clawing at her hand and trying to get her to drop me or even trying to kick her wasn't working, it was like trying to break down a ship's bulkhead with my bare hands. Suddenly, out of nowhere someone walked on the glass shards of the door and my eyes shot open.

Standing in the doorway looked like a cowboy straight out of time. He had the hat, the duster, and the boots, right under his duster he wore what looked like some thin type of armor and dress pants, sticking out the corner of his mouth, was an old rolled cigarette. He laid his hands on his belt lined up with bullets and his gun on his hip saying." I heard someone call for a hero."
