Tiki stood confidently as the members all looked at him in smiles and curiosity. There were all different styles and builds from the members, however what caught his eyes was a man standing in front of the other members with a mask covering his nose and mouth.
"I don't trust him." Tiki heard a feminine like voice in the dark depths that laid in the back of the room.
"Eh?? Is there a reason Disumi?" The guy in the front with the mask said as Tiki soon locked eyes with the girl.
She slowly stood up and began walking closer to everyone, revealing her appearance. She had black hair along with deep black eyes with limes under them. Her eyes seemed empty but also so intuitive.
As Tiki and Disumi locked eyes, everyone in the room was paying close attention in case of anything happened. "Your demeanor...the moment you walked into the room, it seemed like you were up to no good. So why are you here?" Disumi walked up closely to Tiki, standing less than five feet from here
Ryuji bit his nails dramatically beside Tiki as everyone including the seemingly captain didn't intervene.
Tiki looked up at everyone. "Yeah..why would they stop her? They most likely want to know why I accepted to come here. Regardless of them scoping me out, they'd want to know my intentions." Tiki thought before staring down at the girl.
"I have one goal..and that's to bring about internal peace for both ghouls and humans. I want everyone to be able to live in harmony without fear of the opposing side. Once Ryuji found me and explained to me how you run things, I realized that this was a good idea. A group of ghouls who are willing to fight and stand up to how they're being dehumanized without being too passive or too aggressive..that's why I'm here, and that's why I decide to join. It'll be hard, but I'm willing to take that risk." Tiki said as he stared at everyone deeply. His eyes filled with sincerity and his determination shining through.
He then bowed respectfully to everyone, looking down at the ground. "Thank you for having me!" Tiki yelled out.
After Tikis speech, the room filled with silence. He stayed bowed down, wondering if he was going to be accepted.
"...we should definitely accept him. He's hot!"'a woman said with small shorts, blonde hair with pink highlights, and pink lipstick. - Akemi Arata.
Ryuji and another guy busted out laughing, and the leader of it all chuckled slightly before walking over to Tiki. "Welcome to the Taka!"
Tiki raised his head and nodded. Ryuji patted him on the back before some of the other members swarmed around him in curiosity. However Disumi still didn't trust him, and slowly returned to the back of the room. Tiki picked up on it.
"Hey listen! I'm Arata, yes I'm hot do you want my number?" Arata said as she jumped on him and wrapped her arm around his with a cheery smile.
"U-um..nice to meet you" Tiki said awkwardly.
"Back off Arata he's my buddy, right Tiki?" Ryuji said with a cheerful thumbs up.
"I'm Zetsu Charizard, nice to meet ya!" A short blond teen said with black highlights in his head.
"Hey aren't you named after that one show character..?" Tiki questioned with a slight smile.
"Maybe..maybe not..." Zetsu said, keeping the same smile.
"The names Disuyo..you don't need to know my first name so don't even ask." A girl with one eye covered with her hair, lots of black and purple, chains, and thigh highs said before walking up to Tiki and holding her hand out.
"No problem.." Tiki said before grabbing her hand. She squeezed his hand extremely tightly, causing him to grunt from the pain. It was obvious she was oblivious to her aggression.
She let go, causing Tiki to let out a sign of relief. "She definitely has anger issues..better not mess with her."
"I-IM H-HIDEKO JUN!!"' A girl screamed from the behind every one.
Everyone slowly looked at her with tilted eyes and raised eyebrows causing her to nervously cover her face and tremble. She wore bright colors that matched with her bright blue hair color and eyes.
"You're doing great Jun!" The leader said before walking up to everyone and nodding. "I'm the leader Katsuki Suichi! Nice to meet you!" He said.
Tiki sensed different personalities in all of them. He had a feeling who were the strongest and who were the weakest. "Is this all your group?" Tiki asked.
"Nah, there's a bit more who are out on a mission right now..." Suichi said calmly before sitting down.
"What type of mission?" Tiki questioned while looking down at the leader.
"One of those awesome missions with explosions that go BLAM BLAM BLAM!!" Ryuji yelled out, causing Tiki to look over at him.
"Yeahhh that's definitely not what the mission is.." Disuyo said while shaking her head.
"Oh hush..." Ryuji responded with crossed arms like a child.
"A mission in which you'll figure out very soon..we are getting ready to go on one afterall." Suichi commented with a confident smile as he walked over to the front door.
Tiki kept his eyes on him as he did. Suichi then turned his head back and looked over at Tiki. "I do want to see how strong you are afterall." He said, keeping the confident smile. It seemed like a personality trait more than an expression at this point.
"Yayyy let's do it!!" Charizard yelled out with excitement as he jumped in the air.
"We're supposed to be meeting up with them all right now..so let's go!" Suichi yelled out encouragingly as all the Taka members followed behind him.
"This is it..everything is running smoothly. I can't wait wait to see how strong these members are. But...I'm worried of how I'm going to make my goal a reality. I need a opportunity." Tiki thought in the back of everyone as his silver eyes beamed with solemnity.
Disumi, the girl who was curious and doubtful of Tikis intentions watched him closely as they walked out and headed to began their mission.
About 15 minutes later, all of the Taka members were on top of a building. It wasn't too tall but it was big enough for people to not notice them there.
It was nighttime with a lot of cars and pedestrians on the streets of the city.
"So..what's the plan?" Tiki asked while Squat down at the edge of the building.
"The plan is to rob that bank..get as much money out of it as possible." Suichi responded calmly.
"You guys don't have the best budget do you?" Tiki asked while staring down at the bank.
"We're ghouls Tiki..the only way for ghouls to really be wealthy is to take it.." Arata said with her hand on her hip, popping gum in her mouth.
Suddenly some others came and jumped on top of the building from out of nowhere. There were eight people standing in front of Tiki and the others. "The other members." Tiki thought as he looked at them. They seemed strong.
"Finally here! Took ya long enough!" Charizard yelled out while pouting like a child.
"Alright everyone this is Tiki..we can save the introduction for later, for now just know he's apart of Taka and will be helping us rob this bank." Suichi said while pointing down at Tiki.
Tiki glanced over at the others before standing up and joining everyone. A guy in the back immediately caught his eye. His hair was red and so were his eyes. His demeanor felt different to Tiki.
"Alright everyone! Gather up, let's discuss the plan!" Suichi yelled as everyone came together and huddled up.
After the plan was discuss they all lined up at the building looking down with seriousness. "Alright go ahead Jun!" Suichi yelled out encouragingly.
"O-okay sir!" Jun the shy girl slowly closed her eyes, when suddenly a blue bird came from out of her back. The bird began flying over to the bank.
Tiki paid close attention to everyone abilities. "Seems like she controls the bird and can see what it sees."
"Can we please go now?!" Three triplets said eagerly when Suichi gave them the signal, they jumped off of the building, screaming in excitement.
They landed and began walking over to the guards that were guarding the bank. "Alright you two go, I'll be over here." - Hatsuo Fyjuko.
"Yeah yeah" the two other twins responded in sync. - Hakama Fyjuko and Hakima Fyjuko.
The two began distracting the guards with a very professional like dance when Hatsuo began opening up a vent that was outside of the Bank. It would lead to the inside.
"Come on come on..." Hatsuo said with his tongue sticking out in concentration when suddenly he popped the vent open.
Controlling the bird, Jun then used it to fly into the vent and see how many guards were inside.
"There has to be atleast 20 guards inside with guns...it seems so dangerous." Jun said worriedly.
"Good job Jun, you can back out now!" Suichi said with a raised up thumb.
Jun opened her eyes and looked around nervously. "D-did I do good sir?" She asked.
"Yup!" Suichi responded.
"Now that we know what we're up against. Let's send squad A to attack the front." Suichi commanded.
The twins below ended up taking the guards guns playfully and started running off with them, causing the guards to leave the front door.
"Alright You ready for your debut rookie?" Suichi asked while looking at Tiki.
Tiki stood up and looked down at the bank before nodding seriously. "Let's do it squad A!" He yelled out before jumping from the building along with Ryuji, Disumi, another girl Busuma, and a guy Zuko. They all had duffel bags wrapped around them for carrying the money.
They quickly ran up to the front door. "Alright Ryuji, go ahead." Tiki said before everyone backed up.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Ryuji said with a fun smile as he jumped out and pointed his hands at the door. A shaped aura substance came out of his upper back as a bunch of lines came curving around his arms and at the palms of his hand.
Ryuji exploded the door using his power, giving them a opening. "That was just amazing wasn't it?" Ryuji said as they all ran in.
"Damn straight!" The hyper girl Busuma yelled out alongside Ryuji.
They were then immediately stopped by a bunch of guards aiming guns at them. "Stop right there!!" A guard yelled out.
Tiki and the others stopped and stared for a second. "Put your hands right where I can see them or we will shoot!!" The officer said, obviously trembling with fear.
"Or...what??" Busuma said with a smile when suddenly a big Scorpion like tell emerge from her lower back and guarded all of them. The tail had shark spikes on it.
The officers began shooting crazily, causing them to all cover themselves safely from the fire. "I-I can't hold this much longer guys!" Busuma yelled out.
"Alright let's do this!" Tiki yelled out before activating his power. Him, Disumi, and Zuko jumped from behind the tail and began beating up the guards. Zuko was killing them while Tiki was trying to avoid any vital spots.
Zuko had the ability of what seemed to be red spider legs emerging from his back except they had eyes on them, along with mouths and spikes.
Disumi had what seemed to be small black wings that emerged from her back that she was ability to use as cover and also float shortly.
They were flipping on walls, dodging bullets, and beating up multiple guards at a time.doing things that seemed acrobatic.
Busuma watched Tiki in particular in surprise from how fast he was. "Woah!" She yelled out.
"Yup...that's the guy I found! Speaking of which...you owe me for finding him.." Ryuji said with a smug look as he teased Busuma who sighed.
While they were fighting the guards who kept coming, sirens from afar came, along with what seemed to be military.
Suichi smiled slightly as he looked over at the other members. Arata,
Safuya,Vaskura,Shindu,Charizard,Disuyo,And Zezure.
"...take care of that.." Suichi said with his arms crossed calmly as they all jumped down.
They were almost immediately surrounded with cops and military forces. "Oh snap!! You got this Zezure?" Charizard questioned.
Zezure was big and very buff. He responded with a grunt before activating his ability. A blue metal like object formed around his right arm as he walked up to some of the police cars, blocking shots with it.
Pedestrians and everything ran and scream in terror as Zezure used his arm to destroy some of the cars and kill some cops.
"He seems pretty fired up huh?" Arata said with a smile before popping her gum. A blue acid looking tail came from her bottom area before she jumped up and began attacking.
"Awww you guys are so cool as always, I wanna join!" A bubbly girl Safuya summoned two drills from her back as she smiled carelessly.
Vaskura used wings from her upper back, Shindu used a sword that didn't involve her powers, Disuyo had small scorpion type of tails come from her back,and Charizard electrified his body.
Squad A had finally taken out the guards. Tiki grabbed a keycard out of one of their pockets before walking up to a large safe with the rest of squad A.
"More than positive I can bust that open with an explosion buuut it's whatever." Ryuji said jokingly.
"You definitely couldn't.." Zuko responded quietly as Tiki swiped the keycard and opened up the safe.
There was loads of money in there that they began putting in their duffel bags. As they did, things outside began getting more hectic and chaotic.
Moments later they finally made it out with their duffel bags stuffed to the brim. All of the Taka members began running throughout the city as they dodged heavy gunfire and artillery that the military threw at them.
"This is amazing!!" Charizard yelled out.
"Right!!" Busuma responded with the same excitement.
"Hush before they keep chasing us.." Disuyo said with a frown.
About thirty minutes later, they had finally shaken off all of the military and cops. They successfully retrieved all of the money that they collected and were drained.
"Well we did it.." Arata said with an accomplished smile.
"M-Mhm..we did.." Jun said quietly.
"Oh it was so amazing! I love you all so much!" Safuya exclaimed with bubbly cheeks and a happy expression.
"That was intense..good thing I know all of their abilities, which will make this a lot easier.." Tiki said to himself.
Suichi slowly stood up from the chair he was sitting in and faced Tiki. Tiki looked up at him, waiting for what he was gonna say.
"Ya know...you did really good for your first time. I think you're going to be a great asset on this team." Suichi said with a genuine smile as Zuko and Disumi stared at Tiki with negative energy.
"Thanks..I tried my best, hopefully we'll be able to thrive easier with the money we made." Tiki said with a nod.
"Yeah..however there's one other main person we need to recruit." Suichi commented as Tiki looked at him in confusion.
"Who?" Tiki asked.
"His name is Dakika Wyusa..he lives in the prison for ghouls. He's seemingly extremely strong however he has crazy tendencies...we don't know much about his past however we do know one day he just went on a killing spree, killing hundreds of innocent people at a time." Suichi explained as the Taka paid attention to him.
"We want to recruit him to Taka considering he'll be a great asset." Suichi said.
"But what about his crazy tendencies? Isn't it possible he'll be a threat to us if we were to break him out? It seems risky..." Tiki commented with an obvious confused face.
"I still don't trust him but I do agree with what he's saying..it seems like a suicide mission especially considering how crazy this Wyusa guy is." Disumi said.
"Correct.." Suichi said as he began walking around the team. "That prison is so well guarded, and it's likely we could die trying to break him out..I don't want us putting our lives at risk for nothing so, Tiki..." Suichi said, gaining Tikis full attention.
"I want you to change Wyusa..break him out of that Crazy mindset and get him to join us by any man's necessary.." Suichi said with an extremely serious look at Tiki.
Tiki then looked down slightly in doubt of his ability and from Suichis request. "....I'm not weak..I know I'm not weak but this plan seems to risky. Maybe he's trying to test my faith to the group and if that's the case then I can't decline..." Tiki thought to himself with clenched up fists as everyone looked at him for a response.
"Alright..I can do it." Tiki responding. He accepted the mission even though it would be obviously dangerous for everyone involved.
Outside the door of the base there was a girl with short purple hair. Her ears were pressed up against the door as she listened to everything they were saying. Once she heard everything she slowly walked away.
