Age 1991
"Man," Kitsune said looking around the open city. "A whole week and nothing has happened so far." He said letting out another sigh. "We were told to just look for something strange."
"Stop complaining," Cloud said rolling his eyes. "At least we were able to get away from Lucy, and Emma... Especially Emma. That girl just cares about fighting... I mean I like fighting, it's a great way to get rid of stress, but that girl. She's a total masochist, and sociopath. Someone who only lives for combat. I don't like her... And she keeps talking about my Big Brother..."
"I know. Anyways so do you see anything suspicious?" Kitsune asked.
Cloud was silent as he slowly raised his arm up placing it on Kitsune's head. "Kitsune."
"Yeah?"
"Ask that again. But slower."
"...Do... Do you see anything... Oh... I see."
"Do you?"
"Sorry."
"You are forgiven," Cloud said simply. "But in all seriousness. I don't really know what we are doing, walking around this city." The blind kid said casually. "What are the chances, that anyone will just walk out in front of us-"
"What a minute!" Kitsune said placing a hand on his shoulder. "What the hell!" He stared ahead of the street staring at the two figures who were ahead of him. They both stopped and turned back to look at him. "Hey! You're those bad girls with the black whips, and blades!"
"Oh!" One the girls said. "Look sister. It's the fox boy..."
They were both girls. The same ones Kitsune had fought in that bar. Of course, that was so long ago... Or at least it felt like it. In actuality, it had been less than three months ago.
"Who are they?" Cloud questioned pointing his cane at them.
"I actually don't remember their names but they are assholes!"
The one in the silver dress gave a heavy frown as she stared at Kitsune. "Really? The way I remember, is that you attacked our boss, first, then blew up the building... You have no idea how much that idiot whined to the Organization about having it repaired. It was bad enough we were told to work for them, but now they want us to help him rebuild his shop..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Wait did she say Organization?" Kitsune asked.
"Oh boy, you know about that group..." The one in the black dress said frowning.
"Depending on your answer yes..." Cloud said cooly as he reached for a button on his cane slowly.
The silver dressed girl, and the black-dressed girl shared a quick look. "Well, October." The silver dressed girl said calmly as she raised an eye row at her sister.
"Lethal force, September."
"Ha!" Kitsune said laughing. "As if we're scared! I beat you both by myself when I was way weaker! You guys are-"
A black whip backhanded him across the street throwing him back as he slammed through a light post.
"Guess we're starting!" A panicked Cloud yelled raising his cane up and blocking several white blades that were thrown at him.
"Don't worry," September said casually, as she sliced two blades down. "Sis, and I aren't the killing type, and neither is our group. We'll just badly beat you both up and send you to the hospital!"
"Oh because that's so much better!" Cloud growled out slicing his cane out with an elegant dance as he reflected the many blades thrown at him.
"I'll admit. You fight well for a blind person!" September said smiling as she jumped forward and sliced her blades out.
Cloud once again blocked the many blades as him, and his opponent slowly got into a rhythm, neither one quite able to catch the other one off guard.
"You better not go easy on me just because I'm blind..." Cloud warned shooting his cane, out as he clicked a button on it. From the tip of it a thin needle fired out catching September off guard.
The girl jumped back grabbing her cheek as a small trail of blood trickled out of a thin slash. "You grazed me with that needle! You asshole! That's going to leave a scar!" She growled.
Cloud simply gave another smirk as he readied his weapon. "As I said. Don't go easy on me. This cane is a deadly weapon."
September let out another growl as her white blades began to glow. "Oh trust me... I won't!" She shouted throwing out a wave of exploading blades that slammed into the blind man throwing him back.
Over with Kitsune, the fox boy had just activated his Attribute as he was thrown back once again by a black whip.
"Oww!" He yelled out jumping up and swinging his new weapons, the tonfa's out. He showed how inexperienced he was as he nearly tripped over his own feet.
"Umm... What are you doing?" October questioned raising an eyebrow.
"I'm inserting my dominance by showing you how dangerous I am with these weapons!"
"..."
"Is it working?"
The girl cracked her black whip once slicing it up and throwing the Noble back again. "Nope."
Kitsune rolled landing on his feet as he sliced his arms out firing out a jet of fire that cut threw the air. October blocked the blow easily enough but was caught off guard when Kitsune jumped out of the fire and slammed his weapons down onto the women as flames covered over them.
October was pushed back by the punch as she threw her whip out once more hitting Kitsune with a barrage of blows.
"Ouch! I don't get it!" Kitsune whined trying to stop the many attacks. "I beat you, and your sister at the same time, months ago when I was weaker! How am I struggling with just one of you now?"
"You're an idiot," October said with a sigh. She pulled her whip back as she jumped away. "First of all. You only beat us because of luck. You blew up the building we were in knocking us out. Without that explosion, and gas, you were able to use, we would have won. Secondly, during our first battle, we were going easy on you, and thirdly, did you really think you were the only one who would get stronger in a few months? Get used to people being stronger than you, because in this world, powers all that matters. It's a dog eat, dog world."
"Why are you a part of the Organization!" Kitsune shouted. "And what do they even do? Why join a terrorist group?"
"I could come up with any excuse. I could tell you how the group wants to save this world, or I could tell you how we wish to destroy the planet, or I could say the group was given a task by God, in the end, whatever excuse I give you for why I joined doesn't matter, in the end, we're still part of a terrorist group right?"
Kitsune frowned as October gave a smirk. "You know what you're doing is wrong right?"
"This world is the thing that is wrong. I want to save this beautiful world! Justice is what I seek!"
"Justice... You sound just like my buddy North. Too bad he isn't here. He'd kick your ass with his ice powers!" Kitsune announced. "Why did we leave him with Emma, and Lucy... Poor guy."
October simply gave another smirk as she shrugged. "Well. You'd do well to be careful. I won't kill you. At least not on purpose, but that doesn't mean I won't seriously harm you. After all, you cant cause our group trouble if you're missing your arms and legs." She stated cracking the whip down and firing out a mini-explosion.
The blast slammed into Kitsune throwing him back as he slammed into Cloud, the two of them collapsing to the ground.
"Oww..." They both said in a pained groan.
"Damn." Cloud hissed out ad he got back to his feet. "Those explosions are tricky to get around."
"And they hurt like hell!" Kitsune matured rubbing his chest where the blast hit him.
'Boom!'
The entire city shook as a few blocks away from an explosion echoed out.
"Whoa! How'd they do that!" Kitsune said shocked?
"That wasn't them!" Cloud said with realization.
"Ahh, it seems they started without us..." September said casually as she raised up more of her blades. "I guess we'll stay here and keep you two occupied while the others complete the mission."
"In that case let's finish them quick September," October said cracking her whip. "They'll need us at the prison..."
Cloud and Kitsune glanced at each other for a moment before both boys nodded. "Switch opponents!"
