After escaping a deadly attack while on a mission, The Trio consisting of 19 Year Old Assassin Jacob Gearfree, 20 Year Old Sniper Jaden Versace, and 19 Year Old Medic Carmila Calberry are starting a wild gang war all around Aregonex, the new America.
"HAZARD DUTY PAY!" He activated his ability, slowing time to swiftly knock the bullet down, stumbling a bit on the car. As time went back to normal, Cole managed to touch the bullet and turn it into a bomb, exploding it before it hits him. "...i see.. i think i understand what your ability is. You have reflexes that are impossible for a human.. which means.. you're not moving in real time. That's impossible. You're slowing time, aren't you?" Cole asked, as Jacob simply stayed quiet, understanding he showed his ability off a bit too much. "That ain't all, but I'm saving those abilities... There's a chance you'll escape and live, so I can't risk showing them... those two can't either. That's why we're using our basic abilities." Jacob scoffed.
"You're quite young for an assassin.. 19? That's one way to ruin your life." Cole mocked, huffing at the sight of Jacob bothered. "That's none of your business." Jacob replied in a cold, annoyed tone. "Aw, that hit a nerve, didn't it? And did you forget? The bullet i shot.. it's still on the car.. right next to your feet." Cole chuckled, a devilish grin on his face as he slowly brung 2 fingers together.
As Jacob looked down and saw the bullet, he realized. "My ability, Born Sinner, can turn anything i touch into an explosive. and i touched the bullet when i put it into the chamber, just to make sure... Goodbye~" Cole hummed, clicking his fingers together. "H-HAZARD DUTY P—!" Jacob tried to slow down time to escape the explosion, but unfortunately, it was too late. The bullet exploded, blowing Jacob away. "HAHAAA! THAT WAS EASY! I WON!! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR MESSING WITH MEEE!" Cole yelled cockily, before Jacob smiled, still in the air. "...eh..? Where are your wounds?" Cole asked, his smile and confident tone immediately dropping. "Thanks, Carmila." Jacob looked to his right, seeing Carmila with Jaden's sniper. She had used her ability to heal him as soon as the explosion happened, thus, no injuries were caused overall. "...huh..? HUH? WHA—?!" Cole yelled, grabbing another pistol. "HAZARD DUTY PAY!" Jacob slowed down time, shooting 5 bullets at Cole's head and throat, before throwing the gun away and waving. "...C'ya."
With that, he stops his ability. Time returns to normal, the bullets hit Cole, and he crashes his motorcycle onto a nearby building, bleeding out to death. Jacob falls onto the road, his legs getting scraped and bleeding from the impact. "GAH! That was.. worth it." He huffed, getting back up and running back to his teammates.
"Carmila! Jaden! I got him, i'm pretty sure he's dead!" He yelled, making sure they heard him from the distance, as he kept running toward them. Carmila pulled out her phone, dialing A.K and O. She He picks up, with a slight "hello?". "Hey.. it's me, Carmila. We just killed Key Kraft, Cole, however you wanna call him.. well, Jacob did, but he almost died." She informed him, making sure to list only the important details. "He's careless, huh? Well, come back to the base. Ugo already knows the way there, he'll arrive shortly after." "Alright... bye." Carmila hanged up, putting her phone back in her pocket as Jacob finally made it to them.
"Man... that was crazy... you almost died! This happened yesterday too, on the train! What if Carmila didn't make it in time, huh?!" Jaden asked, his tone louder than usual. "Eyy, eyy.. calm down, it's all gooood...! we got him, that don't matter!" Jacob chuckled, playfully shoving Jaden. "Just be more careful next time.." Jaden looked behind them, seeing a car sent from Karlos to take them back. He entered it, waving for the other 2 to follow. Carmila looked at Jacob, shrugging. "Hey... You did good today, alright? Keep it up." She gave him a small smile, messing up his hair before leaving to the car. "Wha..! Hey! I worked on it for 30 minutes today!.." Jacob sighs and also follows to the car. As he sat near Jaden, the assistant began driving to the base.
Meanwhile. Somewhere else.
"Pay up. You owe us." Melrow demanded, continuing to beat the poor man in fromt of him. "GAHH—! I-T-THAT'S ALL I HAVEE!" The man cried out in pain, nearly passing out. "I don't like liars. I really don't." Melrow said coldly, kicking the man in his face, causing more blood to spurt out of his nose. "AH! I-I SWEAR! I'M SORRY! I JUST- JUST NEED MORE TIME!" He yelled. "You do realize you're about to die, right? You should have thought about your economical state before borrowing money from us." Melrow kept beating him, pulling out a dagger. "WAIT—! WAIT! NO! PLEASE!" The man begged for his life, yet deep down, understanding it wasn't going to help. Melrow sticks the dagger through his left ear, watching the tip come out of the other ear. As the man was stabbed through his brain, he dropped dead to the ground, bleeding out.
Melrow stood up, cleaning blood from his hands. Right as he stood up, he heard someone coming behind him...

It was Kamara, his 2nd favorite gang member. "Kamara... any updates on Karlos and his fuck of a group?" He cleaned the blood from the dagger, spinning it and putting it back inside his pocket. "Indeed. They have murdered Key Kraft, one of Virmina's best assassins." Kamara spoke up, her mask echoing her voice slightly. "Oh? That's interesting. I assume the one we need to take down is that medic... Carmila? Yeah.. that's her name. She just heals them from anything. It's an insanely troublesome ability. She'll be the main target. Second is Jaden, since he has about.. 120 kills so far.. his sniping skills are greatly impressive. Jacob is just a dumbass kid, we don't need to rush his death." Melrow laughed a bit, as he turned around to face Kamara.
"Oh, K... you're one of my best assassins... so clean and... so good at anything i give you. I suppose you wouldn't have such a hard time killing those guys, right?" Melrow asked. "Um.. i need to think about it, sir. If they got Virmina's Cole, we may have a bit of a problem..." She replied, a bit nervous about the offer. "Alright. I understand. Call me when you decide." Melrow left, entering his car and leaving Kamara there with the man's dead body.
-meanwhile, the Allekon Bridge.
"...hey. Something like this has never happened before... seems like we underestimated Karlos' guys. They killed KK and Karo already... all of that in a day. That's bad." U9 told Venus, sipping on his coffee. "We should really tell Blacksoul..." Venus sighed. "Right. He won't like how fast they're progressing." U9 took another sip. "Oh yeah... Mai, the girl from Jinto, apparently almost killed Takimi last night." U9 added. "Huh? How? Isn't Takimi one of Melrow's strongest?" Venus chuckles, throwing a rock to the water below the bridge. "Yeah. That's the thing. Jinto hasn't done much with his gang lately, so this is unexpected... maybe they're getting stronger?" U9 explained, looking at the rock Venus threw. "Yeah. That could be it. Mai isn't that strong after all. They probably got upgraded weaponry." Venus got off the edge of the bridge, heading toward one of the sidewalks nearby, U9 following.
-In Karlos' Base.-
"Holy shit... this is good! Where'd you learn to cook like this?" Carmila gasped lightly, as she and Jacob ate Jaden's food. "Oh... well. My mother. She taught me all of these recipes. They're great. I was raised in Berlocko, it's a pretty fancy city, so we had all kinds of ingredients."Jaden answered, while cleaning the kitchen of all the leftovers. "Oh? Berlocko? That's lucky... and how's your mother?" Carmila continued asking as Jacob just munched on the food. "She was great. Honestly. I really liked spending time with her. I always helped her cook and stuff..." Jaden replied. "..Wait... was...?" Carmila stopped eating for a moment, raising an eyebrow. "She died. Of a tumor. 4 years ago." Jaden explained, causing Carmila to choke on her food, "OH SHI— MAN, I'M SORRY." She quickly said, "Nah, all good." He answered, before leaving to throw away the trash.
As Jacob and Carmila were left alone, Jacob quickly slapped Carmila across her face, "DUMBASS! Don't you get hints?! If he said WAS, d'ya think she's alive?!" "OW! THAT HURT! YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
