Thus Forward

Meeting up

Aiden's POV

After blinking a dozen times my sight returns. Temperence leaning on me; almost sleeping. "Hey are you okay?" I say as Lukas and Ivory start arguing again. She stands up up straight stretching, "Yep," She says glareing at Ivory and Lukas. "You are hoping, they don't get together now?" I mutter. She nods, "I used to want them to be together when all of us were in Beacon; but that's a lost cause now." She whispers to me, "Hey! Guys what are you arguing about now!"

Ivory turns around angrily, "He teleported us, 10 blocks away from the store." she says looking disgusted. Lukas mocks her, "Oh look, I'm Ivory Crescent and I can't walk 10 blocks, oh whatever will I do! My slave has ran out of Aura to take us the rest of the way." I glare at the both of them, "You know Ivory, me and Temperence don't get payed enough to deal with this, shit. So please, just get walking with your evil boyfriend okay?" I say starting to walk with Temperence in tow.

Ivory and Lukas follow silently. We noticed it was already dark here, it was around 10 O'clock, but it wasn't dark in Vale? Maybe it's because Vale has more lights then any city we've been to. We all walk silently to our destination, through the quiet city.

Lily's POV

"Come on Evan I need my revolvers back!" I complain watching him make his way around his store. "Any minute now?" Evan glares at me tossing me my favorite weapons, "I could've found them easier if you were helping..." He mutters taking his duel blades back. "Your sign does say, 'Faunus do not touch the weapons' so I was following the rules." I say crossing my arms, "We also have a few minutes or so until the 'good team' gets here you racist."

Evan rolls his eyes, "I'm not racist. I just don't support gangs meeting up here. Which most of them have Faunus in them. It's not that hard to understand." He looks at me annoyed, "When are you done hanging out with your sister by the way?" I shrug, "That's like asking for comeplete and utter peace. When does peace happen?" I say with a smirk taking off my mask and laying it beside Copper's; which I stole back.

Evan raises his eyebrows as I do so pointing to his right cheekbone. "Who cut you?" He asks then walking around in his store putting the things he moved back into their original places. I smile, "Temperence." I say, "It's not surprising. I thought she would've hit my eye." Evan sits on his cash register desk crossing his arms. "She wouldn't hurt you unless she really had to." He says.

I nod looking out the dark widows of the store, knowing my best friend better than he did. I didn't say that though. "You also know I'll always help you no matter how much you get yourself into these messes. I hope you know that." I look back at him as he was flipping through a book. "I didn't know you could read." I say changing the subject. He rolls his eyes putting his book down, "We have guests," he says tilting his head towards the front doors of the store.

Ivory's POV

I follow Temperence and Aiden ignoring Lukas's questions. We walk into the store around 10:30. I almost push Tempernce over as she stopped suddenly in front of me. "I didn't know you could be a business man Evan." both her and Aiden comment at the same time as I now stood beside them.

Evan ignores us, "Hello best customer." I glare at Lukas as he shrugs walking up to Evan and shaking his hand. "The kid sells good cigarettes, for being under-aged to do so, along with his illegal weapons, hey how about I pay you to kill your girlfreind Lily; would you do that?" Lukas says pointing to behind Evan.

Lily appears behind Evan not wearing her mask, but having Copper's hanging around her neck. Temperance growls, "Where's Copper so we can end this already." Lily chuckles handing her mask to Evan, "Exactly where you didn't go." Lukas still holding Evan's hand smashes Evan into the shop's ground. As Lily jumps over the desk, smashing a foot into Lukas's head as he slides back Evan gets up, straightening the collar of the dark purple shirt he was wearing, and flipping up the black hood he was wearing under a black leather jacket. "How much time do we need to buy?" Evan asks to Lily.

"As mush as possible." She mutters. "Just what exactly are you guys doing? Or trying to do?" Aiden says taking out his trident. Evan and Lily glance at each other, "Wouldn't you like to know?" they both say. Temperence takes out her blades, "You're asking for fight then." She says coldly. Lily chuckles, "All this fighting is throwing you guys off track don't you think?" Aiden throws his trident, it seemingly flying throw Evan.

Lukas charges at Evan, as Evan goes to kick Lukas; he jumps as Temperence slides a white chain under Lukas's feet. Evan getting knocked onto the floor Lily pulls out her signature revolvers. Kicking Lukas in the chest hanging him fly into on the of the weapon stands in the shop. I shoot crystals at Lily as Evan blocks them with his duel blades. Aiden smashes a foot into one of Evan's hands having him drop that blade as he headbutts the black and purple haired man. Evan grabs Aiden smashing him into the desk.

"You're rusty." Lily mutters dodging Temperence's constant attacks, and my own. I freeze her to the ground as Temperence lands a hit on Lily's windpipe. Lily breaks free shooting at the Ice and then Temperence. Lukas shoves Temp out of the way as Lily shoots again. I couldn't tell where they were shot at either but I smashed an elbow into her unmasked face. She tried dodging my next hit, I just barely cut her stomach open.

Evan dodges Lukas's chained knives as Temperence slashes across his exposed forehead. "Fuck," Evan spats shoving Temperence into a stray bullet of Lily's. "Hey we need to get going why are you dragging this out?" Evan says towards Lily who was dodging my and Aiden's attacks. "I can't contact-" She gets stabbed by the smaller end of the trident.

Lily's POV

I could see Temperence was almost bleeding out, but I took too many hits thanks to Ivory following everyone around. Smashing a foot at Temp's shoulder which I shot, I call out to Copper; Hey I need help please! I jump over Ivory's crystal arm sword thing, as I watch a circle of fire appear around Evan's and my feet. I need a minute. She replys. I watch as Lukas puts Evan in a choke hold. I shoot at the Lavender man's hands before taking a blade rakeing arrow my left arm. ANYTIME NOW COPPER.

 

As I said that Evan and I were surrounded by a vortex of fire, being teleported away.
