The Danger That Lurks Part 2

The atmosphere was tense. No one dared to move as they all awaited for the other to strike first. All of them must've the stand range of 2 meters. Otherwise they would have attacked us the moment Nicco left. The rabbit thought while she examine each stand.

The duo studied the stands in front of them. Each stand has a unique design that pertains to a certain type of ability. If they decided to attack now, atleast I'll know which one to prioritize.

Before she could even think of anything else, a stretched out red limb came rushing towards their direction.

"Ingrat!"

With a loud battlecry the rabbits stand punched the limb towards the roof and kept it in place. A loud cry of pain could be heard to her right and saw a man dangling in the ceiling by his arm. Like a stretched out rubber, the rest of its red body follows suit and is now dangling in the ceiling similar to it's user.

"She punched Bruschetta's stand without glancing his way! Such reflexes!"

The red stand move to punch with the other arm only to be blocked by a yellow stand. With a battle cry of his own he brutally ripped the stands arm. The man's scream filled the train as he stared at his bloody torso. With a taunting look the rabbit's stand slowly twisted the red stands neck before snapping it completely. The man's cries had gone silent as his body fell into the floor with a loud thump.

"Bruschetta!" One man cried at his fallen comrade, his sullen expression slowly morphs into anger, "You fuckers will pay for that!"

"Cannoli! Don't you dare go running into battle with no plan. These bastards are planning on picking us off one by one." With a firm hand on Cannoli's shoulder, the leader stared at the duo menacingly. "If we attack together, they'll stand no chance."

"They haven't showed their stand abilities just yet. Just their stands brute strength." Rosco observe with his wounded hand now patched up with scraps of his mismatched shirt.

"Playing it safe now, hm?" The guy with the carnival taunted, "what happened to your trash talks? All bark no bites?"

The bunny snickered, "they're afraid now, Matt." Her stand hover behind her and wrapped it's slim arms around her, it's eyes were staring at the five. Daring them to come closer and harm it's user.

It was silent for a few solid seconds. The leaders head swarming with thoughts and plans to get rid of the threat. Once we're done, escort the client safely to the plane and. Fuck. Bury our friends. He thought glancing at the corpse near the bunny. We'll avenge you. With a purse of his lips he turned towards the three able men.

"Rosco, Cannoli." At the call of their leader they turned to him anticipating his next command, "Show them hell, show them what the escort team is all about. I'll provide support and Juan protect the client, you're our last line of defense." Shuffling around his pocket, he pulled out a bronze coin and pointed it at Matt.

"I'll be using your tricks."

The two protagonist remained silent.

The rabbits shoulders were shaking, not in anger but in amusement. Her giggles filled the train which soon turned into a full blown laughter. "How cute! Are you so hell-bent on defeating us you never noticed your surroundings?"

Confused the 5 men looked down to see green thorny vines growing around their legs at a rapid rate and crawling towards their torso. The leader followed the source of the vines to see it originated from the first victim! The rose that was lodge into his comrades skull was in full bloom with vines growing all over the place.

"How?!" The leader growled glaring at the two. They began to panic and tries to untangle themselves from the vines. The leaders slimy stand made an attempt to break the thorns, they did break, but the remaining vines only tightens it's hold and grab the stands hands.

"Haven't I told you that our calculation were correct?" Matheos grinned underneath his mask as he looked at the leader, "we were just buying time for it to grow! I guess it's safe to say, we won."

Ding!

"6 minutes late. This retard had a hard time figuring out which is the right cart." A new voice grumbled.

"Sorry. It's hard to navigate around a moving train." A meek voice called out.

Behind the two was a familiar elevator and inside was a new figure who wore the phantom mask with a sniper slinging on his shoulder.

"Looks like your fucked now."

"Man I was expecting more of a fight." Matheos whines while kicking the corpse of the leader. "Just look at this fucker! 'show them what the escort team is all about' my ass. Fucking noobs."

"(Nickname) did you get the case?" Leonardo asks removing his phantom mask and whipping the sweat on his forehead.

"Yeah" The girl was crouched next to the business man, her fingers felt around his neck for any signs of life, "no pulse."

The girl stood up with the briefcase in hand and looked at her team. Spotting Nicholas next to a corpse examining something.

"What'd you got there bud?" She asked watching as his round brown eyes meet hers before raising a small gold pin to her view.

"It's Passione's pin."
