Panting and out of breath two figures escaped from the ever clutching grasp of the dark and empty alleyways that connect the town in unknown ways.
Running through the mainsheet that was strangely just as silent as the alleyway they escaped from, the two figures could only run onward in hope of some sort of salvation, though on the mind of one individual was the thought of how to save the other.
Yet nothing came to mind and the figure could only writhe in anxiety and anger, today was not their day.
Looking behind them, their was a similar amount of figures, two figures of adult size were a ways off and slowly moving in. These figures acted almost as if they were hunting a wild animal and keeping enough distance to make their prey move until they drop from exhaustion.
Letting time move forward will only be meaningless.
The situation is quite dire and can be barely salvaged if handled correctly in time. This possibility is nill.
With enough hope, the chance that escape could be possible in the least; as of now it is none.
Exhausted both physically and mentally the girls begin to surely slow down, they were in fact not used to long distance running as they endurance is lacking and foundation is still unsteady.
Seeing that the figures behind them are still apt in following the two of them, one decided that enough is enough and the time to strike is now or never.
Lifting up her blade from its sheath she came to an almost sudden stop that greatly surprised the younger of the two, looking back at the one who decided it would be to stop all movement the youngest couldn't even catch her breath as she just wheezed out the air that couldn't stay inside of her chest.
The older sister held her blade out front of her, it seemed to many around that it was a silver dueling saber. This weapon was made personally by the girl who wields it and it is her partner in battle.
Now with her weapon at the ready she stood her ground prepared to hold off the very hell that is tumbling in their direction, as the moments pass by, the resolve in her heart is strengthening and steadying itself inside her.
The figures that are making their way over obviously notice this and grow smiles on their faces as they prepare to take down their prey which they have grown bored of toying with.
The older sister said to the younger one as she stood her ground "Go on ahead, I will catch up in a moment and until then do make sure that you just continue to run away as far as you possibly can from here." These words were said in the calmest manner possible, it seemed that the older of the two has resigned to her fate and decided to stay behind and give the younger the time needed to run away.
The younger sibling could only stare wide eyed at her big sister who had decided to remain where she was, with quivering lips she could only try and ask "Winter! Why are yo-" But was immediately barked at by her older sister "Weiss! This is no time to ask questions, we can talk later!"
As Winter had turned back to face the opposing side, she could only steel herself and do what she can and allow for her little sibling Weiss to escape if at all possible. Her death only came second to her for this moment alone.
But those who were hunting them took a great displeasure in this action.
Looking at the two girls who were having an emotional moment they could only sneer as their insides were writhing at the ugly sight, they couldn't let such a pathetic act continue any longer.
The skinnier of the two spoke up and said "Hey Arnold, you want to show these brats that now isn't the time to be having a loving familial moment or what?" Hearing his partner speak Arnold turned his head to him and replied "Yeah Jack, these brats need to learn the basics of mannerisms; even if by force."
As the two of them finished their chat their sneers could only widen on their faces sat they continued the approach. They wouldn't let them escape any farther than here.
"Weiss, go now! These two are hell bent on killing us, the least I can do is make it a little tougher for them. For now you are to try and make it as far as you can and hopefully make it to a nearby safe house or Atlas compound." Raising her saber to center mass, Winter knew that today she can only accept her death.
As Weiss looked on at her sister, she wanted to speak out and convince her but she choked up and the words wouldn't come out. She missed her only chance as she could see the assassins were closing in.
Turning around she could only take off, running off with her eyes leaking tears. She couldn't do anything, today her sister's fate was sealed.
"Hey Jack, one actually decided to escape as her sister has steeled herself to die. How pathetic, go and teach her a much deserved lesson. He will surely be proud of our method for teaching the younger generation. Especially these spoiled rotten rich brats."
Nodding his head, Jack listened to Arnold and decided to get a move on and close in on his prey.
Seeing the action of a single of the two, Winter was stumped. One was left behind to fight her as the other decided to take off after Weiss. Today, fate was as cruel as can be.
Winter decided she may as well try and get a hit in on him before he gets to chase Weiss.
Seeing him approach at a massive speed Winter moved her entire being into place and struck out with her saber, to no avail. "Hahahaha! Missed me!" Jack called out as he jumped over the saber that was swung his way.
Jack then disappeared behind the first corner that he came into contact with, he still wanted to toy with his prey, nothing would stop him from having his fun and that included the orders of his boss.
Arnold saw that Jack was getting his job done and knew that it was time for him to move into position and finish the part on his side.
"Alright you little brat, the boss wants you dead and so you've gotta die. Don't take it personally, its just a job." Arnold may have spoken these words but the smile that was filled with bloodthirsty intent hadn't left his face the whole while.
Knowing what his true thoughts were Winter decided to say what she wanted up until the last moment, but first she's gotta know the answer to a pressing question "Who is this boss of your's? Tell me his name at least!"
She wanted to know at least this before she meets her end, she wanted to know who she had to wait for in the after life so she can strangle them on sight.
Hearing the stupid request of Winter the burly Arnold did let out a small reply "Kill me and you may learn. But until then, you have no right to that answer." His voice was as low as can be and was letting out the killing intent inside him out to the world.
Moving forward toward Winter who had her saber at the ready, he lifted his arm that carried his signature mace that could not only crush with it's weight but also cut into the flesh of those he strikes.
"You can go ahead and die, Schnee!" Jumping in the air he lifted his massive mace up and swung down with his power in an attempt to destroy the girl on the ground.
'How can I block this attack?!' Winter was filled to the brim with worry as she had no clue on how to retaliate against this man. Lifting her blade to shoulder height, she then prepared to thrust out with all of her power and below her on the ground was a familiar glyph of the Schnee family.
This glyph was created to make her speed up and accelerate many times her usual speed, the likes of it could normally not be seen by most before they are stabbed clean through.
She was prepared to kill with this single attack… If it failed then she would be crushed.
…
Seconds seemed to last for hours as Arnold the assassin came down with his massive body and weapon, time seemed slower than most could ever dream.
Tensing her muscles in preparation to stab at her opponent, Winter gripped her blade's handle to the point her hands turned even paler that usual.
…Suddenly…
A shadow had come from the likes of nowhere, seeing this sight, Winter resigned to her fate and lowered her weapon. She was about to be killed by the man she thought ran after Weiss, today she can do no more than she already has.
But fate still seemed to be toying with her heart, as the shadow that appeared from nowhere was facing toward Arnold who was quickly approaching the ground at full velocity.
The shadow then raised up a single hand as if grabbing out at Arnold, with a voice that seemed to be wishing to drag their souls straight to hell and freeze them over a couple of words were spoken "Almighty Push!"
This one I was thinking of doing for some time now, hope you all are pumped up.
I'm not, this is hard! (I also hate working)
Making up all of this is such a true pain and it took longer to write because I've been doing some work lately and haven't had time. I'm also very lazy.
I'll post again tomorrow and sunday.
Leave a comment and review~!
Also, I'll try and make some chapters for Fallen Hero System. But no promises.
Thanks for reading!
"Almighty Push!" Hearing this deep and damning voice call out Arnold still held nothing back and let his mace fall down unto the earth below preparing to smash both the intruder and the target in a single swipe.
But as his mace swung down at the intruder of his fight he slowly began to feel a great resistant force act against him and force back his mace, realizing this he could only strain his body and push forward against the force with all his strength.
His mace seemed to be almost immobile and was left almost in complete suspension in mid air.
Feeling that he could actually go against the force even if only slightly, he smiled a great amount that almost seemed maniacal.
But these hopes of going against this ability were dashed away into the wind as the person who appeared looked him in the eyes with one that was purple and had had a couple rings while the other was blood red and had what seemed to be commas inside.
He could feel an immense amount of pressure come down on him as struggled to fight with all of his might.
Death had come knocking and he refused to leave without his life.
"So, you are an assassin?" The voice this time around was rather light, yet he could feel that the person before him with words alone could overpower him with ease.
Struggling to answer he let the words he thought barely slip from his mouth "Yes, I'm an assassin alright" After speaking he could vaguely feel strength return to his limbs and yet… He knew today he cannot escape.
The force that acted against him grew and multiplied several times *Bang!!* with what seemed to be a small explosion Arnold was sent back flying far and almost made it a hundred meters in distance before he crashed into a building that was located at the end of the street. *BOOM!!*
The building seemed to have exploded and was demolished as nothing that resembled a house was left remaining where it once stood, now it was but ruins and debris.
Next to nothing would be able to survive such a devastating attack, for civilians that is.
Surprisingly the building acted like a cushion and stopped most of the damage from reaching Arnold at all, lifting the debris that laid upon him and threatened to crush him into a fine paste.
Appearing from the debris that was the end result of a single attack from the figure that appeared from nowhere, he knew that today he had his work cut out cleanly for him. If Jack were here then this would be over quicker.
Looking forward at the person that decided to interfere in his work his anger soared and yet he couldn't quite control his curiosity so he obviously called out "Who are you and how dare you interfere in my work!"
Hearing Arnold speak I could harpy contain my arrogance as this bastard dared to think he was above me! He must learn his place "You have no right to know, yet today I'm feeling rather generous. You have the opportunity to call me by a name that next to none are allowed, you may call me Madara! I'am what is known as a Shinobi."
As Arnold listened to the person speak his name, he was sneering inside, this name was one that he hadn't heard of before! He doubted even his boss would know of such a name. As for the Shinobi bit, he heard of them but didn't take them seriously.
Behind the person who claimed his name as Madara, Winter was in absolute shock as she had no idea on what to do. This person had come from out of nowhere to protect her and even sent the would be assassin flying as if he were a kite without a string!
She couldn't even comprehend as to why he would help her all of a sudden and with such confidence.
Who was this 'Madara?' she thought quietly to herself.
Seeing the sneer rise on Arnold's face, my displeasure only grew and was on the brim to burst out and destroy all around myself. 'How dare you wear a sneer while looking on me?!' My pride consisted not only as Madara, an Uchiha but also myself as well and this was beginning to boil and I was getting sick of it!
"I see that you have a death wish you damn brat! As an honorable shinobi I will give you with your lackluster ability the chance to die at my hand!" Only at times of battle will my killer instincts that I have foreged over the years come forth, today I will play them like a fiddle and then kill them.
Forming several hand seals I had decide that for now it would be best to savor this battle through the usage of several clones instead of just taking him on myself.
At the end of the day Weiss couldn't save herself in a life and death situation.
So that means this falls upon my shoulders.
Making the last seal I say out loud "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu" and with the bursting of five separate clouds of white smoke, I split my chakra levels into six different bodies to prepare for a nice battle.
Seeing these exact copies appear from out of nowhere both Arnold and Winter came to the same conclusion and that was 'He has dual semblances!' Seeing such a thing was extremely rare for them as it was almost unheard of!
'Even boss only has a single Semblance!' thought Arnold as sweat slowly dripped off of his cheek and made its way down to the ground.
Winter finally decided that she must speak up now or never! "You, Madara, I know that this may be selfish of me to ask but I'm left with no choice!" Saying this she then lowered herself into a bowing position, seeing this I can only listen to her as she made her request "Please save my little sister Weiss, she is to young and unable to protect herself. Please!"
After saying her part she readied her weapon and began to walk over at the man that dared to attack her and Weiss. This assassin must die!
Looking on in awe I felt a smile squirm its way onto my face, Winter was much more of a family person than I remember!
Nodding to her request I said out as I turned my back to leave "Alright then Winter, you will fight alongside my clones and take that bastard down. It'll be fairly easy without the help so go ahead and get some experience from it."
My words seemed to greatly anger Arnold as veins appeared on his forehead, these words sparked a flame inside of him and now he will do all he can to kill these brats!
Waving back at Winter who looked at me rather strangely I said out "Besides, that defensive semblance of his seems mainly affective against physical damage and not elemental damage. With this knowledge the fight should be slightly easier."
Now Winter knew not of what to think, he says that the fight would be easy as damage of an elemental attack is more effective against the assassin. But looking at the clone he had made she wondered who they would be useful, could he have a third semblance?
As the thought crossed her mind she shook her head greatly, she never once heard of a person housing three separate semblances inside of them. Not once.
Preparing her dueling saber for battle she then set out for battle as a few glyphs made their way under both her feet and the five clones that were created by Madara. This battle would not be easy and can be very drawn out due to the defensive semblance of the assassin, but that mattered not for today she had the back up of five clones that the creator deemed as more than enough to kill the assassin.
"Alright you lot, let's kill this criminal!" Winter for the first time in her life had openly declared she would kill another human being!
"Well then Schnee, show me your metal!"
Sorry for the later post, I was just lazy in making this.
So yeah…
Leave whatever you want in the comments as perusal.
I'd appreciate the reviews of you guys, and also the criticism is much appreciated as long as it is productive rather than just being an ass.
