Highway 13

[Kotomine_Rin]

The Assassin

For the first time, the cold assassin showed some form of emotion. It was a shock, nothing but unbridled horror at what the girl just did. Amidst the battlefield no less, she'd take her own life instead of falling like a true soldier. At that moment, he felt a wave of disgust crash against him.

"Utterly miserable."

Still recovering from his wounds, he turned his back on the girl. Nothing but a sad wretch. Why was the boss so interested in her anyways?

A-702

What were once a few drops slowly but surely kept getting heavier and heavier. The cold chill only intensified.

A few meters around them, the rain droplets seemed to slow down and... stop. And at that moment, the spider's eye widened. "Shit... it's him."

He really wished Justice had put on the coat now. Oh wait, he did. Shit, blood loss was starting to mess with his memory...

Suerte

Suerte's upper torso flopped upward, her head staring at the sky, knees pressed against the ground.  The cowgirl's body begins to shine like the brightest star. The hole in her torso began to fill with the organs she had lost, bones stitching themselves together within seconds.  Before long, skin covering the bone and tissue.

Thats right.  Luck favors the bold.  No.  That wasn't what her powers were for right?  It wasn't to earn the blessings of fate.  The goddess wasn't here to do that for her anymore.  From now on, Suerte would have to make her own.

"You know," she said, pulling the trigger.  The ground beneath her exploded, a thick cloud of smoke filled the air, obscuring her from view. "This is the part where I say something cute about you being more of a dick than a pussy, but honestly...."

The gun cracked, several bangs echoing through the highway as several bullets shot up into the sky.  "....I'd just feel stupid.  C'mon buddy, time for round two."

Justice

He cast the tip of his sword through the dense watery mist as though parting a curtain, and his muscles tensed in anticipation of what was to come. A bellowing, consuming heat waited to be unleashed behind Justice's eyes.

"Who's 'him'?" The rider asked, squeezing the spider and the child closer to his armored frame. "If you know what danger we're in then spit it out."

[Kotomine_Rin]

The Assassin

Kh! This light was blinding! Couldn't aim-

Click!

The winds rippled and spun out of control, and the assassin vanished. He reappeared right above Suerte, untouched by her bullets which now flew into the sky! His rifle was aimed at her, they were both in the air, but she would never dodge this. Farewell.

[yinsukin]

Suerte

Suerte zagged to the right, dodging the gunfire.  Her body shot towards the body like a rocket towards the old man, attempting to swoop up the body as she shot passed it.  Meanwhile, the bullets bounced off a helicopter that happened to be flying through the sky, shooting down towards the assassin, threatening to hit him from the back.

A-702

The rain just kept blowing harder and harder. It was getting impossible to see at this point.

His spine tingled with pure, unadulterated fear. No, the feeling was growing even more intense. "It's the Assassin. One of the four missing link class members of our organization. Among them, only two don't use any enhancement whatsoever. They were original members, I think... but we've gotten the most troublesome."

At this point, the spider was looking as wet as someone who just came out of the shower, dripping all over. It took a while for Justice to notice it was sweat.

"Avesta, the War God of deluge. These raindrops are going to get harder and harder until they grind us to dust! No one has ever seen this assassin, but among the four they say he is the most brutal!"

Yes, that must explain the fear in his heart. All of his senses, all of their senses warned of something terrible coming. For a second, they could notice a light advancing through the rain.


"Lucy, I thought you said you'd be the one to drive..." Vega sighed, clearly doing a bad job of hiding his annoyance, if he was even trying at all. And to make matters worse, it was starting to rain like crazy! Such filth, at least the car's roof could protect his expensive clothes from this torment.

"Masteeeer! Are we there yet?"
"Masteeeer! Are we there yet?"

And of course, his maids were starting to get bored. Not that he could blame them. Even he still had nothing to scratch that itch. He wanted to shed something beautiful, to expose himself true! So he trembled, just silently grunting in annoyance.

"Are we there yet Are we there yet  Are we there yet  Are we there yet  Are we there yet  Are we there yet  Are we there yet  Are we there yet-"

Just keep driving Vega. Oh wait, was that a peasant in their way? Ugh, no matter. It was its fault for being in his way. He could barely just see him... a wise man would make sure not to damage his precious car.


"HOLY SHIT ITS A CAR!" The spider yelped as the vehicle was coming full course right at them, ready to crash straight into his poor defenseless inocent body. "Justice, save me!"

[Kotomine_Rin]

The Assassin

It was all so fast, yet it all seemed so slow. The man landed, readying another bullet. A bullet shell released on the ground, Suerte's bullets bounced down, threatening to skewer him.

He had already aimed. The bullets just phased through him. All that managed to do was stall for time. Even with a miraculous second chance, she was wasting it for an old man. Fighting him passively was the worst mistake she could have done.

The other being accepting this mission.

Click.

The next blast's target was much simpler. He'd just blow that dead man to bits.

[yinsukin]

Suerte

Thinking quickly, Suerte slid her hand into her pocket, pulling out the syringe.  That familiar cog grinding noise filled the air and Suerte aimed both guns at the man.  She fired another set of vaccum bullets, the kind that would rip him apart with sheer force if they passed his torso.

Damn it!

The cowgirl dove leg first, sliding across the concrete and grabbing the lifeless body of the father in one hand.  The blast struck the ground next to her.  Acting on nothing but instinct, she pressed the syringe into the man's arm, hoping this would be the ingredient to save him.

[YOLF]

Justice

Punishment shook its head in impatience, and the small live secured in his arms shivered, but the story didn't sound like much to Justice. Anyone who fell prey to such a power was no better than a frog that slowly boiled to death over the care of a flame. But if assassins came from the spider's own organization, then the rider's group weren't much better than the frog right then. No, worse, the entire task might have turned into a lie without them realizing, and perhaps their guide was why the enemy had known where exactly where they had been, and where they were now. But one crapsack at a time.

"They must not know not to stand on fire." He tugged on Punishment's reins, allowing the steed to start into a run, when the shape of a speeding vehicle and the spider's untoward screech interrupted them.

With a crack of the rusty bands, steed and passengers flew over the incoming mass. The road cracked under the beast's hooves, treading a path where the tires had stained the side of the road. Justice kept going on the opposite direction of the car and yelled over his shoulder.

"Cover your heads, asphalt trashers!"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Vega

It all happened so slowly, yet Vegas body tensed like a bow...

"Disgusting. How dare such a creature exist."

And with a screech, the car drifted and spun on the wet road, before resuming chase at full throttle!

He slipped an illegal mana core in a little container in his car, and suddenly it flared up, picking up speed!


The Rain Assassin

Haah...haaa...

Phew, that was close. If it wasnt for that beasts interference, she'd have been a goner.

Ufufu. Very well, the rain stopped flat out of panic. She wouldnt unleash it again... For now!

[Kotomine_Rin]

Suerte

Thinking quickly, Suerte slid her hand into her pocket, pulling out the syringe.  That familiar cog grinding noise filled the air and Suerte aimed both guns at the man.  She fired another set of vaccum bullets, the kind that would rip him apart with sheer force if they passed his torso.

Damn it!

The cowgirl dove leg first, sliding across the concrete and grabbing the lifeless body of the father in one hand.  The blast struck the ground next to her.  Acting on nothing but instinct, she pressed the syringe into the man's arm, hoping this would be the ingredient to save him.

The Wind Assassin

She pressed the syringe into his arm, but something was wrong. His body was unnaturally stiff... Cold...

Nothing was going on.

And for the longest time, there was silence. The assassin was gone, wether due to his teleportation or the bullets... Who knows?

They were had.

[Bern]

Lulu

....I'M JUST RUNNING IN THE 90'S!

The iconic drifting song blasted into the night as Lulu pulled the window down and stuck her head out. The last of the rainfall struck her blonde locks, or did they? A closer look would tell you that something repelled them just before contact and thusly she remained dry even as she stuck her head out. Not that she would have minded either way but it told her the nature of this rainfall.

"Get back here you mongrel? How dare you ride that thing on the streets. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!"

She then grabbed hold of the roof and hefted herself out the window and onto the top of the car. and in her hands appeared the great zweihander that would cleave those who denied The Lord's labors.

"FASTER VEGA FASTER, I CAN'T STAB THEM WITHOUT GETTING CLOSER!"

[YOLF]

Justice

Justice thought he would drop his passengers, for a heartbeat. What was wrong with these two? Didn't he have enough shit to deal with? It was no surprise that Punishment agreed with the sentiment. The steed growled like a crumbling canyon, and the rider reared up on his seat, whipping out his pistol arm.

He squeezed the trigger twice and twice Pity's thunder roared in succession, aimed to gut a tire each on the front and back of the car.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Vega

How loud... But even his servant seemed to understand. "Oho. Then we will get as close as you wish."
