Three of Swords-JJBA Part 3

Saved

She stood at the harbor, awaiting the arrival of the 4 men. Lord DIO had instructed her to get rid of them. She was determined to do so.

Still, even with the threat looming closer every second she waited, she couldn't help but enjoy the scenery. Despite the metal containers behind her, the view was beautiful. The ocean shone as the sunlight reflected off of it. It was a sight rivalled by few things, at least to Scarlet.

The sounds were peaceful, too. The sounds of the water and the smell of the water made her close her eyes to just take it all in. It was wonderful.

Until the sound of voices ruined it and snapped her back to reality, back to her mission.

"Ooh, nice! I'm going to take one more. Très bien! Just like the button, I want to push, push, push your hearts toward mine!"

She turned to the sound of the voice to see a man taking a picture for two women. He had on a black top with white pants that nearly matched his hair. She squinted slightly as her mind wandered. He looked somewhat familiar to her. Hadn't she seen him with Lord DIO before?

"Would you like your picture taken as well, mademoiselle?" The man was a lot closer to her than he started out. She snapped out of her trance and smiled at him.

"Oh, how kind of you! Thank you so much. The view is beautiful here!" She put on a fake smile as she walked to the edge of the harbor, a few feet from the ocean as she handed the man her camera.

"Hardly as beautiful as you, mademoiselle." The man smiled at her. She felt her face turn pink and laughed.

"Aww, thank you, I'm flattered!" She smiled as he took pictures of her.

"The beauty of the ocean complements yours." The man said as he handed her the camera. She smiled. This one was genuine. His flirtatious lines were starting to get to her. But she did recognize him. He was once one of her master's men. He had betrayed Lord DIO. He needed to pay for that.

Which was why the moment her camera was safe in her hands, Scarlet turned as Venus appeared behind her and moved her arm, gesturing towards the man. A wave of water rose and consumed him, taking him back with it into the ocean. She heard gasps of surprise from behind her, and turned to face the sound.

The 4 men that Lord DIO had wanted her to get rid of stood there, lined up, and Scarlet felt the edges of her lips twitch upwards into a smile. All she needed to do was get rid of them, and Lord DIO would reward her. She was determined to do just that.

She raised her hand up, and Venus did the same, then brought it down and Venus followed her movements. A large wave appeared behind her and crashed down on the harbor, crashed hard against the metal containers, and most importantly, crashed hard into the bodies of those she was sent to kill. She froze the wave and looked at the bodies. There were only two, that of the Egyptian in red robes and the old man. The 2 students were gone.

Cursing under her breath, Scarlet looked around. Where did the two students go?

Her question was answered when a voice yelled, "Emerald Splash!" from behind the crates and a volley of the green jewels came flying at her. She barely had time to make a wall of ice in front of her to protect herself. One of the emeralds did get through and slice into her exposed thigh, but it wasn't enough to be that much of a problem. Still, it stung.

She winced and sent icicles flying in that direction, aiming at the general area the emeralds had came from. She noticed the ice encasing the robed man and the old man melting. She froze it even more. She also made sure the man who had betrayed Lord DIO was getting just enough air to survive. She planned to bring him back for punishment.
