Chapter 43 - Painting the Town (1)

In the ruined parts of Vale, the sound of an engine gets closer and closer until Bumblebee pulls into the street and stops just short of the camera, showing Yang Xiao Long behind the handlebars in her matching helmet.

Shallot: 'I have the biggest hard-on right now hopefully she'll just think it's just because the road was bumpy.

Yang takes off the helmet talking to Shallot behind her she gestures with her thumb to the music playing nearby.

Yang: "Come on, my friend's right in here!"

Yang gets off the bike to reveal Shallot sitting right behind her, his hair was messed up with it slightly hanging in front of his face before blowing it out of the way.

Yang: "You can't say that it was the road because I felt you behind me the entire way here. Blake was exaggerating when she said that you were huge."

Yang started rubbing her behind where it still felt warm from where he was pressed against her.

Yang didn't want to be distracted while Shallot was trying to make his boner go down.

Shallot: 'If I walk in with a boner how am I suppose to hit on Miltia that's in there. '

The music from Junior's Club gets louder once inside to show Junior behind the bar adjusting his cuffs as his Henchmen stock the bottles, carrying boxes, and otherwise standing around on the dance floor, until...

Henchman 1 runs inside shouting.

Henchman 1: "Hurry, close the door - she's coming and she brought the plague with her!"

He and another Henchman proceed to roll the doors shut and keep them closed with their bodies.

Junoir walks out from behind the bar.

Junior: "What are you two idiots doing?!"

The Henchmen shout incoherently until an explosion knocks them to the ground and forces the doors open, allowing a familiar face to walk in through the smoke as "I Burn" starts playing.

Shallot: 'Now that's perfect music timing.

Yang/Shallot: "Guess who's back!"

Yang looks at Shallot.

Shallot: "You're not the only one that comes here. I came here to grab a drink a while ago."

Yang continues to smile and pose as eight guns are pointed in her face with an equal number of angry Henchmen behind them. Though this doesn't disturb her, she stops and glares at the recording studio where the track is messing up until the frightened bear-headed DJ takes the needle off the record and retreats back under the table.

Shallot walks from the side not worried about everyone else and walks towards the recording studio and looks through some vinyls and pulls out another one and places it on the record player playing "Down with the Sickness".

Shallot continues going through some more vinal records when he comes across another one that says "You're Going Down".

Shallot: "I'm taking this one with me."

The rest of the goons were watching him do whatever he was doing without even thinking about getting in his way remembering what happened last time.

Junior: Stop, stop! Nobody shoot.

Junoir cuts his way through the crowd of goons, straightening his tie.

Junoir: Blondie, you're here! ...Why? Also, why did you bring the good damn plague with you."

Yang: "Plague?"

Junoir points to Shallot raiding the liquor area.

Junoir: "Him. He is known as the plague in the underworld because you can't get rid of him once he ends up somewhere unless everyone is either traumatized or dead."

Shallot yells from behind the bar.

Shallot: "This is a job so there's nothing to worry about and besides I only took jobs in Anima to hunt down criminals that weren't redeemable. How did you all hear about me in Mistral anyway?"

Junoir: "We are on the same continent. When 17 crime rings go missing in a span of two months people start asking questions."

Shallot looked away as if remembering something.

Shallot: "Ah, that brings back memories. I did that because I wanted to kill some time and needed some test subjects for something."

Yang: "You're a lot scarier than you look aren't you hot stuff and for the other question that was for Junoir. You still owe me a drink."

Shallot: "Only to my enemies and not beautiful ladies. Isn't that right Miltia?"

Shallot started walking towards two twin girls where one was dressed in a red dress while the other was wearing white.

The other twin in the white dress started stomping toward Shallot.

Melanie: "Why do you always ignore me but talk to my sister? We both look alike so why do you ignore me!"

Melanie was stomping her way over with her head up with Miltia following close behind her not seeing much.

When Shallot is about to reply he gets a message on his scroll and it starts buzzing.

Shallot holds a finger up and checks his scroll.

[Sound of Sexy]: Your kitty cat is her with the monkey boy what should we do?

Shallot started typing on his scroll.

[Shallot]: Nothing for now but you can tell Roman if he wants to beat up Sun he can do it just make sure he can walk away from it. I want you to fight Blake until I get there so I can see how much she has been training when I'm not around.

Shallot put his scroll away and waved at Yang before yelling out.

Shallot: "I GOT SOMETHING TO DO SO I THINK YOU CAN GET INFORMATION EVEN THOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE HE DOESN'T KNOW!

Shallot then hopped over everyone and took off into the air and flew towards the address the Neo sent him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blake's fingers trace three scratch marks on a wall before peeking around its corner and seeing a pair of horned Faunus as they are ushered into a building by a bearded man. She turns to Sun next to her.

Blake: "This is it."

Sun: "You sure?"

Blake glares at him and starts moving towards the entrance while unfastening her bow

Blake: 'Why does he have to be so annoying. I think Shallot did this because he didn't act like a monkey Faunus.'

Sun: "Y'know, I'm just gonna take your word for it."

Sun: 'She's as scary as Shallot just not physically violent like him.'

Blake felt her ears twitched and looked towards Sun.

Blake: "You say something."

Sun gulped and shook his head.

Sun: "Nope wasn't me."

Sun: 'Man, here senses are scary.'
