a casual stroll

Lucy and emerald walk in the dead of night "tell me what you want." emeralds hands shake out of fear and terror "all I said was that I wanted to talk, is that a problem?" Lucy strokes his fingers on emeralds throat "I thought it would take a day or two to complete heal yourself, so why and how are you here?" "well why, I just wanted to walk with you because you seemed a bit lonely, thankfully with my power I can fix myself which can come in very handy." emerald trys to look around to see if anyone could help but Lucy grabs emeralds face and turns it forwards. "no looking for help. just talking and walking." a old couple walk by smiling. "well look at that, they're in their eighties but they act like it's the first date." emerald places his hand on the handle of his sword ready to strike "don't worry I'm not going to kill them." "so you draw the line at old people?" emeralds body shakes but his voice stays stern "if it makes you feel better i don't kill dogs, cats and basically any pet." Lucy spots a nearby bench "let's have a seat I'm a bit tired tonight." they sit down with Lucy pulling emerald down.

"now I'll tell you something about the zodiac's, we have thousands of strong members all over the world and you could join? we could just forget about all of our beef that we have." emerald gulps "I won't kill you if you say no... just answer." "no I refuse to team up with you." Lucy prepares to transform emerald "I know the drawback to your ability, you dare try to transform me or Kevin I will use that to my advantage." Lucy smirks and removes his hand from emeralds throat. "ha you're right, everyone has a drawback even me." Lucy stands up hands in his pockets. "well I'll be seeing you later and next time we meet bring more people." Lucy walks off and once he's out of sight emerald grabs his chest feeling the pounding of his heart rapidly increasing. (why was I so scared of him? all he is, is a pathetic excuse for a villain and why has the highest power not killed him yet.) the highest power was a organization made by the government and it held the strongest people with awakened powers, they had people who are feared by even the greatest villains. emerald stands up, wobbles and continues to walk home (I'm sorry dad, amber he got away.) tears pour out of emeralds eyes but he keeps a straight face.

"sheila I'm home!" emerald close the door, sheila walks out of her room in her lingerie, her hair was light blue, a massive scar on her back and a tattoo on her chest in the shape of a snake wrapping itself around the skull "yo emerald, have you seen my raiper anywhere?" emerald blushes "oh uh- have you tried looking in the closet?" sheila walks back Into her room and opens her closet "found it!" she walks back out holding her raiper "emerald can you hold this please?" she passes it to emerald. "I need to put my clothes on, I got a mission that pays big bucks so I was wondering do you wanna join?" emerald thinks as sheila goes back into her room to put her clothes on "how much they paying?" "like... one hundred grand?" emerald nods "yeah I'll join, should we get more people though?" sheila laughs "Fuck no! I don't wanna share this money." sheila walks out with a grey tank top, baggy pants. "pass me that scarf to me will ya?" emerald tosses a red scarf and she catches "thankies." she wraps the scarf around her neck "do you want this?" emerald points to her raiper "oh yeah, just hand that here." emerald gives her the raiper and she holds it by her side "alright then let's get going."

sheila looks around "you've gotta be fucking with me!" she swings her raiper in rage at a nearby wall cutting it in two "m-maybe you should calm down, I mean the target could be anywhere around here." emerald trys to calm her down "emmey look I need this money! if you say calm down to me one more time, I will shove my raiper up your ass through your mouth and eat you like a shish kebab!" emerald trembles "Y-Ya know what you do you..." emerald shuts his mouth "come on where is he?" sheila grabs a scrunched up piece of paper out from her pocket "bald head, cape?, muscular and a metal bat." emerald scratches his head "that could be anyone?" sheila sighs at emeralds stupidity and then he face jolts to excitement "are you sheila?" "yes... you must be the target." Pete looks at sheila "well I was the guy who payed you to kill me, now please do come and hit me." sheila jets forward and slashes Pete's chest "take that now time for my rapid strikes!" she then cuts Pete again and again, she then stops the slashing and looks Pete's clothing just to see she only cut his top not even a bit of skin "w-what... how!?" Pete smiles "please do actually try?" sheila faces quickly grows to anger "fine then!" water surrounds her raiper, she then hits Pete's skin but nothing happens "godamnit, sheila give me your sword I'll show you how it's done." sheila begrudgingly gives emerald her sword "watch how I do it." Pete grabs the raiper and snaps it in two. emerald swallows his fear "move." Pete places his hand on emeralds shoulder sending crazy amounts of energy throughout emeralds body "sheila... I can't move." "WHATTA MEAN YOU CAN'T MOVE!!?" emerald falls to the ground unconscious "shit! hey you better pay for my fucking sword." Pete moves closer towards sheila "whatta gonna do hit me?" Pete's arms become surrounded by his energy "you wouldn't hit a lovely lady like me... right?" Pete smirks "I am a man who believes in true gender equality." he extends out his index finger, grabs sheila's hand and looks at a ring on her finger. "what do you want it?" "no just to test out something." the ring glows a bright red travels through her ring finger, down her hand then her arm and she falls to the ground. *ring* "huh?" *ring* Pete answers his phone "hello, who is it?" "Pete... Mavis is dead." Pete hangs up.
