The Markets in Central Newlatten were packed at these types of nights, doesn't matter if it was a Tuesday or a Saturday if the weather was nice everyone would be outside drinking, exploring, plotting and murdering if they were up to it. A Bounty poster fell beneath the feet of a man as he stepped on it, he raised his foot and picked up the Bounty and looked at it, "Fisco Liarc.. What a weird name." The man said to himself.

As the markets got more crowded the man ducked between an alleyway, he crouched down behind a broken door and took a drone.
The drone made light beeping as the man showed the drone the face of Fisco from the poster, the drone flashed green and flew into the air and went to search for Fisco.
The man waited in the alleyway for the drone to give him a location, suddenly his radio started talking in a very frustrated voice

Radio: {~BZzT~} Nix answer me NOW!{~BZzT~}
Nix: This is Nix how may I help you Vic?
Victor: {~BzZT~} Are you going after Fisco?? that isn't your assignment!! {~BZzT~}
Nix: Pfffft whaaa? No I'm not, I'm just chilling in my room fiddling with my knives.
Victor: {~BZzT~} Why does it say that your drone is tracking Fisco in the markets then? {~BZzT~}
Nix: Uhh nah mate.. must be a malfunction at your end.. my drone is on charge man.
Victor: {~BZzT~} Nix.. look up. {~BZzT~}

Nix hesitates for a bit and looks up and spots someone jumping straight for him, he quickly jumps to his right to dodge the would be attacker as they land on the concrete with a thud. Nix sees his opportunity and tackles the attacker straight to the ground.

Nix: You know, we really gotta stop meeting like this.

Nix pulls the hood off the attacker and reveals the person to be another member of his clan: Maia, one of the most skilled female bounty hunters in Newlatten.

Maia: You really should not disobey Victor, this is the second time he's caught you sneaking out getting bounty's.
Nix: Yeah he should be thanking me, you see how much this guy owes for his death??
Maia: 320 thousand credits I know, but how much of that will go to the Clan?
Nix: Uhhhhh depending on how nice I feel and maybe I'll give you an extra bonus with credits if you kindly leave me be.
Maia: No if we get this bounty we are doing it TOGETHER, I'm not letting you walk into a possible death trap alone.
Nix: Alone? So you wanna come with me into this "Death trap" so you could die with me?
Maia: W-What? N-no! That's not what I was sa-

A beeping on Nix's watch stops all of them from talking, it's the drone and it has a positive location on Fisco in a Tavern 3 blocks away.

Maia: Don't you dare run off or I swear I will break your ankles
Nix: UGHHHHHHHHH Fine mum jeez I'll do something else instead, here hold this.

Nix gives a ball to Maia and presses a button on top of it and then jumps behind a dumpster as the ball explodes releasing a net that traps Maia against the wall behind her, with Maia struggling Nix casually walks with his hands behind his back whistling a tune of jingle bells

Maia: Agh Nix! Get me out of this now!
Nix: Oh um.. I can't, see that's a very sticky substance and if I touch that I would be stuck too.. soo your gonna be there for about 20 minutes.
Maia: Nix! I am gonna kill you when I get out of this!!
Nix: Place a bounty make it more fun!

Nix strolls off on in the direction to the tavern, the loud music, constant chatter, drinks clashing together and maybe a brawl or two is what greets nix on his arrival to the tavern, he opens the doors and has a quick search around the room, "no signs of him, dang, he must still be around somewhere" he thought to himself.
He went to the Bartender to ask him.

Nix: Hey Buddy i was wondering if you knew where this man had gone?

He passed the Wanted poster to the Bartender

Bartender: Sorry man I haven't seen anything, you can go now.
Nix: Are you sure?

Nix put 2,000 credits on the table and passed it too the bartender, he was amazed he was getting this much and he leaned in to whisper

Bartender: He saw you walk in here and recognised you were a Hunter, he ran out the back.

Nix having this information quickly sprinted out the back of the tavern, it didn't take long to find Fisco, he was trying to climb up a fence, Nix didn't like that idea and took out two of his throwing knives and threw them at Fisco, one landed in his back while the other one landed in the back of his left knee.
Fisco screamed in agony as he fell to the floor curling up into a ball as nix walked towards the wailing man.

Fisco: P-p-pleaase!! I'll do whatever you want please don't kill me!!
Nix: Hmm, let's see here, this wanted poster says your wanted for Murder of a high council member, Being a complete Ass and running away from me-oh I added that one in myself, and.. oh god.. you raped someone?
Fisco: Please I'm sorry I won't do it again please don't kill me please please please IM SORRY!!!

Nix crouches down in front of Fisco

Nix: You know, letting you go does sound like AN idea.. but I like the idea of cutting off a Rapists head to give me some Kaching

Fisco begs for mercy to no response, Nix brings up his dagger to strike down on Fisco before his hand gets shot from behind forcing him to drop his dagger.

Nix: Agh! Son of a b-

Nix is held up in the air by his throat, the man holding him is a notorious vigilante by the name of Vexetta, he never believed he would ever be face to face with him, and moments later he became weak.
Vexetta feeling the weakness in Nix decided to finish the deal by throwing Nix against the wall for him to lie there motionless.
Fisco was thanking the Vigilante, bowing down to him like a god and in a moments notice the Vigilante snapped Fisco's neck.
Vexetta walked over to Nix and took out a syringe from his waist and proceeded to take some of his blood, he put the syringe into some sort of box, after a brief time Vexetta closed the box and looked at Nix.

Vexetta: At last, the perfect match.
