Somewhere in Mistral, 8:00 am

Two motorcycles were riding down the road. The yellow one (Bumblebee) driven by Yang, as the shady man from the gas station was sitting in the back. Meanwhile Jacob was following right behind on his dark green bike (Lydia). The shady man was leading the two Assassins to where Raven supposidly was, but tension could be felt during the whole ride.

Yang: How much further, pal?

Shady Man: This should just about do it.

He pointed to an open field next to the road, as the two bikes drove to a perfect ambush location. The shady man got off the bike and started walking into the woods.

Jacob: Where do you think you're going?

Shady Man: You wait here. I'll go up ahead and make sure the coast is clear.

He dissapered into the woods. Yang and Jacob got off their bikes and started to preaper their weapons, Yang checking on her gauntlent and metal arm, while Jacob looked through his cane.

Jacob: You know it's a trap, right?

Yang: Yup.

Jacob: But he will still just try to rob us?

Yang: Problably.

Jacob: You're just happy you don't have to hold back on him. Don't you?

Yang: Oh, defenitly.

Suddenly, the shady man and eight more bandits surrounded the two Assassins, some with guns, others sporting only machetes. 

Shady man: I can't believe you were dumb enough to let me lead you here.

Yang: Is this everyone?

Shady man: *chuckles* Yes, little lady. This is it. Well, unless you count the whole rest of the camp back that way.

He gestured behind with his thumb. Jacob pointed at the same direction.

Jacob: That way?

Shady Man: ... Yes. That way.

Jacob: Good, thanks.

Shay: Now to pay me back for this tooth, we're going to take your bikes. And you're going to take your lumps. You got the jump on me last time sweetheart. But you really ought to think twice about fighting all-

Yang unfolded her Ember Celica, making the bandits gasp and flinched a bit. Yang was about to charge, but Jacob stopped her.

Jacob: Hold on. Let me do it.

Yang: What?

Jacob: You got into fights this whole road trip, let me have some fun. If it makes you feel better, I can leave the asshole to you.

Yang: Alright, fair enough.

Shady Man: Oh, you think just because you're an Assassin you can defeat us without your girlfiend's help?

Jacob: Not my girlfriend.

Jacob smiled and took of hiss hood and prepared his cane.

Jacob: "Manners, maketh man", that's what my father told me. Shame I never cared for those words. Really, what I'm trying to say is...

One of the bandits charged at Jacob with a machete, only for Jacob to trip him and knee him in the face as he was falling, knocking down his first bandit.
