Unknown Time
Location: Central Square, Vale

I booked it along the rooftops, rushing to make it in time.  This is my best chance of finding him, so I gotta make it count.  I slowed up as I reached the square, where light fell on me.  I was wearing light stealth armor and carrying a sniper rifle that had an assault rifle and shotgun form, a short sword, and some throwing daggers. My backpack utilizes experimental warp tech that holds an assortment of other gear, and my helmet provides me with accuracy and weak point assist. I began to set up shop, lining up my shots so as to make this seamless. Then the music started. The big day of the wedding of some rich kids. All I know is that I was contracted to kill someone and they would be here. Quickly Atlas soldiers began to post up around the rooftops, but I activated my camouflage mod on my suit and gun, leaving me completely out of sight, save from a spatial distortion scan. I continued to watch the wedding, looking for my target.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wedding is nearly over. Where is he? Wait.......bingo! I swung my rifle around and fired. A faunus with a sword dropped to the ground in front of the steps, just short of the newly weds. Suddenly, guards were swarming my position. Time to bolt! I shifted my rifle to assault mode, then began running. I tapped a few buttons on my wristpad, and a few objects popped out of my pack. First, the threw a small pellet, which exploded open to launch a shock net onto two of the guards. The remainder were easy to take out with quick, precision headshots. Almost free.....shit!! An Atlas fighter ship blocked my path, guns trained on me. Well, time to bring out the big guns. I slapped the side of my pack, and it started to shift. A suit slowly grew around me, and a heavy rifle landed next to me. As soon as I was covered, the HUD lit up, and I began my fight.

I popped out from cover, using jet boosters and back thrusters to fly around the ship, firing heavy armor-piercing rounds into the ship, shredding it to pieces

I popped out from cover, using jet boosters and back thrusters to fly around the ship, firing heavy armor-piercing rounds into the ship, shredding it to pieces. As the wreckage fell to the ground, a strange black mass began launching towards me. I fired a few concussive rounds at it, but it merely shrugged them off.  I began flying as fast as possible, trying to shake off the thing.  Still, it continued, and the bastard was catching up to me!  Suddenly, it faded out, but before I could relax, a weight hit my back, and I felt raw aura pressure hitting me harder than a hurricane!  A sudden shock took out my armor and I crashed into the rooftop of a nearby building.   My helmet folded up, and I was breathing heavily. The being stood before me, a great black coat and a dark mask of an evil beast.  It suddenly spoke, "You're a wanted man, Speed.  You've got some impressive skills and equipment.  How about you join me and some other guys to kick some ass?  Maybe do some good?"  I spit on the ground, clearing some blood from my mouth.  I grinned, "When do we start?"

"Looks like he got one of the others to join.  I must say, he will be an interesting component to this team."  A woman stood in front of a desk, a touchpad in her hand with data on a man: Speed.  A man with a cane turned around, his back facing a massive window.  "Now all we need is the last piece of the puzzle to begin the game."
