"Fuck!"

Lupin duck behind the tables dodging a barrage of bullets but not before a bullet graze his shoulder causing him to hiss in pain. Brick duck behind the tables with Lupin panting. "They just keep on coming!" He yells. For every assassin they kill another just seems to appear in their place. Lupin fire another shot, killing an assassin and this cause the assassin to melt in a puddle of blood. Lupin and Brick look at each other. "That's not normal," Lupin said with Brick nodding.

"Hands up criminals!"

A group of guardsmen ran toward the scene wielding guns and electric baton with the Flying Phoenixs right behind them. "Fuck the Flying Phoenixs." Brazen swear. "We need to leave!"

"What do you mean leave!" The scarred woman yell.

Cyan had a bullet wound, Basils had two gashes across his chest, Lester had some ribs broken, Lupin also had a bullet wound, Drake had some bruises and cuts and Brick's right arm was broken.

*10 Minutes Later*

"Ow, ow, ow, ow."

Cyan wince in pain as the healers remove the bullet and then healing the wound. Lupin too was suffering the same fate. Drake and Basil's wounds and bruises were healed.

Brick's right arm was healed in a cast and Lester was warned to not do quests or anything dangerous for a few weeks.

"My inn!" Brick cried as he looks upon the state of his inn.

There was a hole in one of the walls, blood puddles were everywhere as well as bullet marks, and broken chairs and tables were thrown everywhere. Lupin put his hand on Brick's shoulder and said, "We'll help paid." Lester and Basil agree by nodding while Drake was distracted looking at something.

"Hey, the couch is still fine."

The couch was still in its place and had no damage done to it.

"THAT"S WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT!" Cyan yells at Drake making him cover his ears. "No. Just noting the couch is still fine." He replied leading Cyan to sigh.

*Bronach Kingdom*

"So.....You.....Failed."

"Yes," Brazen said, his head down.

"We would have killed those bastards if it weren't for Brazen being such a coward." The scarred woman said. "For someone who talks about being the best you sure run a lot."

"I'm not the one who let one of the target escape!" Brazen roar back. "Besides I know when a mission is lost and most of our numbers come from my clones and they're weak and can be easily clear out by the Flying Phoenixs!"

"Silent."

The two quiet down.

"Since.....Madame.....Keres.....Is.....Carrying.....The.....Plan.....The....Mission....Will.....Be.....Scrap....And....You.....Two.....Will.....Be.....Sent.....Base.......Northsea." Luther.

After that, the two left and closed the door.

"Holding a grudge eh?"

Luther turns and unsheathes his blade. The person behind the voice just shrugs. "Adelmarus," Luther growls. Adelmarus was a robot. With a single red dot on his face that was his eye, sleek metal parts, and a core that was protected by a layer of metals. He was the first sentient robot powered by magic and science.

"Oh, why do we have so mad when you see me," Adelmarus said in a mocking tone making Luther growls even more.

"Shut.....It.....You.....Piece.....Of......Metal........Trash" Luther said.

"Trash? Now that is just rude." Adelmarus said. "I'll have that I am a superior being compared to you beings of flesh except for Madame Keres."

"What......Do.......You......Want?" Luther growls.

"Madame Keres is acting out Phase 2 and require you," Adelmarus replied.

Luther sheathes his blade and walks out of the room.

"To think that someone manages to get on Luther's bad side and sent assassins to kill them." Adelmarus muses. "Oh well, none of my business."
