Walking in the alley, Rain put her headphones back on and pushed her hands in her pocket looking down at all the glass and broken debris that filled the alley. There was a beer bottle that caught Rain's eye, it glistened a bright blue and lied in front of her path. She scooped it up but the smell of beer still surrounded it. She noticed it still had a bit of beer inside and swilred it around as she strolled down the alley.

She yawned, I never did get to finish my nap, she thought as she looked back up at the clouds, it was starting to get late, the sun seemed to be just a few feet from the horizon, the sky seemed golden and red. The clouds all seemed to point toward the sun and the night seemed to creep slowly on the other side. Redd seems nice I guess, and I'm sure she would have been alright on this island but I still can't help but think 'What if?' Especially since Sebastian said that Marines could have been looking for her and Jin. Rain groaned and hung her head back, looking straight upward, stopping for a minute. Such a hassle... Sorry mom, I can't really do much this time, I don't know why but I feel a bit out of place. Like I'm not supposed to be here. Rain continued walking and as she reached the end of the alley, she noticed that Redd had already hopped down and was waiting.

Rain waved and shrugged and smiled slightly. As Redd headed inside, Rain wanted to sit down and think. There was a bench outside the shop that Rain sat on, placing her rifle next to her. She slouched forward and put her face in her hands, sighing and shaking her head. What am I doing...? She thought to herself, then said it aloud, "What am I doing? I know for a fact that something's wrong, I can almost feel it. I feel.. sad for some reason." There was some shouting on the streets that made Rain lose her focus, then she pulled her rifle onto her lap. A man walked up to her and said, "That's an antique don't you think?" He was looking at her with an odd smile and Rain responded, "It gets the job done, would you like a demo?" She aimed it at him and the man backed off, raising his hands and said, "No thank you ma'am," starting to walk away.

Redd had then come out the store and Rain couldn't help but think, Now we can head back, but Rain's sick feeling came back as she watched Redd continue to look around, then look down the street. Rain folding her arms and clinched her eyes, looking away slightly as she heard Redd state that she'd go get clothes. Redd walked to the store and Rain dragged her feet in a tired motion and lied down on the ground after Redd went inside. "Oh god ew," she said, getting off the ground, "Why the hell did I just lay down on the ground?" She shivered and waited for Redd to come out, leaning on the wall of the store, closing her eyes for a bit.

Time seemed endless as she waited but then Redd finally came out and said that they could head back. Rain took the alley again, and headed back to the warehouse with Alexis. Rain wasn't a fan of shopping, not like she was helping to carry bags or anything. She would have offered if she didn't feel like they were wasting time. As they reached the warehouse Redd annouced that they were back, Rain was still outside and after Redd went in, Rain noticed someone who resembled Sebastian in a familiar way, then listened to Alexis's introduction, forgetting to introduce herself. So that's her name.. she thought, then leaned back against the wall, staring at the new person who came in, smiling slightly.

Hey Yo!

Jet smirked as Bastian, his brother, greeted him by his nickname Jetty. However, that smirk disappeared as Bastian threw an empty bottle of rum aimed towards Jet's head. Leaning his upper body to the right with enough speed, Jet narrowly avoided the bottle which sailed past his head and smashed in the wall behind him. Regaining his smirk, Jet took a bite of his apple in a small sense of victory. “That's a unique way to welcome back your little brother, you bastard.” Jet chuckled. Jet was then asked by Bastian where fuck he been and told Jet that time was never a friend of his. Jet scratched his head in a casual manner and yawned.”Well, for where I been?Still trying to remember that but it involved a rather creepy abandoned bar. And for the time never being my friend, well time can go to hell. You know I go at my own pace.” Another chuckle by Jet as he just happy to actually find Bastian without another midget swearing at him. Then Bastain physically greeted Jet by slinging his left arm over Jet in a brotherly fashion. It was kind of funny sine Jet was taller than Bastian by two inches in height and made Bastian's greeting a little awkward. Jet was then told Jet that there was bad news and that was the ship was stolen. Worse was that Bastian blamed Jet for it by being late. Jet laughed.”It's your fault you couldn't keep an eye on the ship, not me being fashionably late. Arriving on time is overrated and is normally done by normal civilians. You know me Bast, the hell with the thought of me being a normal civilian. Spineless fools is what normal civilians are.” Suddenly Jet heard a voice shouting his name and swearing constantly and Jet instantly knew it was the bearded midget, causing a sinister smile to spread across Jet's face.

As Jet was about to continue, the guy with Bastian spoke up and introduced himself as Jin. He then stated that Basttian gave him the name, Gray. Jet quickly scanned Jin and said with a rather blank face.”Gray?Guess my brother is being nice, you look more like a Geezer with that hair and clothes. If you are going to be associated with us, we are going to be hounded by the fashion police more than Marines.”Jet shuddered comically.”Ugh, I hate those fashion fascist, don't know a real man's style.” Jet then turned his attention to Bastian who explained the entire situation to him about the ship, the other members of the group and the thieves that stole the ship. Jet frowned.”You got to be kidding me! We got robbed? We're the guys that are supposed to do the stealing and pillaging. Damn armatures, I'll dismember those pathetic excuse of rats one by one.”
As Jet vented his frustration, two women entered the warehouse. One was a rather curvy woman with fiery red hair, the other one looked like she picked up from a day care. The woman with the red hair introduced herself as Alexis Juuno and then stated that the Captain, Bastian, called her Redd. She then smiled and tugged at a lock of her hair. The other girl didn't even introduce herself which really didn't matter to Jet as he couldn’t really give a damn. Jet usually never gave a damn thing about anything which usually made Jet naturally content with himself. Jet wore his signature smirk again and simply nodded to recognize their presence. Once again, Jet turned his attention to his brother.

“Bastian, this is our crew right?” Jet looked over the three people in the warehouse other than his brother and himself. Jet sighed and had a slightly disappointed smile.”Eh, not really intimidating or capable of instilling fear into the hearts of people. However they are better than the crew I recruited yesterday. They were giant men who had skills in multiple weapons and scared multiple people at the bar shitless. Wonder what happened to them...oh yeah!”Jet brightened with excitement as his memory of last night came back to him. “I killed them after a poker game!Guess they weren't worthy of being our crew. Maybe the people you got doesn’t look like they can kick ass but judging by the weapons they got, they can prove me wrong. Looks like you picked up Gray from a retirement home, Alexis from a street corner, and the other girl from a day care, right?” Jet grinned with sadism and blood lust in his eyes.”Doesn't matter though Bastian! Let's just murder those thieves and get our ship back.”
Adventure! Yeah!

Jin looked at the guy. Sebastian had started to talk about the events that followed the rest of the crew to be in the warehouse. Jin just laid back, regained his strength, and just waited. He thought about the travels he has gone through just to get to this Loguetown. It wasn’t easy and now he found a new crew with these two brothers. Two brothers who are pretty evil and harsh in their words; Jin didn’t know why he still associated himself with these guys but guess there was not much else to do. He didn’t want to sneak on to another boat just to keep silent and not eat for days.

The guy started talking about how Jin dressed. Jin looked down and looked back at Sebastian’s brother. Then Jin could hear both Sebastian and his brother arguing about whose fault it was. Honestly Jin didn’t give a shit about how he dressed or whose god damn fault it is. ”I’m not asking to be respected by your fucking ass. I just want to join your god damn crew. You can test me later if you want. Right now let us just find this fucking boat.”

Finally both Alexis and Rain had come back from their trip to the ammunition trip, but this time Alexis had a bag of clothing in her hand. Jin could only think about how she could go shopping at the time where marines and some of the local thieves may be hunting them down. Jin ended just making a resolution to just sit back and let those two brothers drive this project or plan forward. Jin was getting tired of this. He couldn’t even go off to build a sword or even examine a sword. He heard of a sword shop around this town. Roronoa Sword Shop should have had some nice crafted swords. He had heard the famous Zolo bought one of his three swords here. With luck maybe Jin could find a good looking sword to buy, but the chances that Jin could is very low.

Jin heard Sebastian’s brother say, something about killing his recruits after a poker game. Jin thought, ”Who the hell kills recruits because of some game. Seriously there has to be something wrong with this group of people. I guess I will stick with them as long as I should.”Honestly Jin looked up and down and at his skin. His natural color of hair was gray, but other than that he didn’t look that old. He wasn’t even that told or stumbled on his own two feet. Whatever this guy was saying made not too much since. Jin didn’t know if Sebastian’s brother was joking around when talking about where Sebastian may have found them, but Jin made sure Sebastian’s brother will regret those words. He will prove to this bastard that Jin was not as weak as Sebastian’s brother may think. Still Jin realized, the brother never gave Jin his real name. Man was Jin confused.

Jin began to like the zeal to be able to rush into these fights, but then again; Jin, Alexis, and Rain had tried to form a plan to be able to make the fights a lot easier for them. With the looks of the weapons the brother held, he both was a close and medium range fighter. That would go well against all these opponents, but still Jin feared that Sebastian and his brother may have overlooked these thieves’ powers. Sebastian had said something to his brother about having a surprise in store for the marines. This time without thinking, ”God damn you two are insane. Capn you found good ways to lure out those three guys since this place is still filled with marines.”

Sebastian took small sips of the rum as his brother made a spectacle of himself. Despite the years apart, his brother was pretty much the same as the day they went separate ways. Never one to bite his tongue over words, Jet was likely the exact opposite of his brother in terms of personality. In his usually fashion he went on about how he killed the people he had brought for the crew. Something Sebastian wasn't to happy with, a few meat heads would be perfect for keeping the ship in order. Jet went on to speak on the people Sebastian had found, which only made Sebastian grin. Gray was the first to speak on what his brother said, it was then Sebastian stepped in, least Gray and Jet would start fighting in the warehouse.

"I assure you little brother, I don't except just anyone to join us. Each of these people have particular talents that will prove to be a valuable asset when we hit the open sea," Sebastian said as he grinned, "I doubt anyone you picked would be able to hold a candle to my choices anyway."

Sebastian looked to Gray, who obviously wasn't to thrilled with some of the being said between the Jet and Sebastian. Sebastian simply took another sip of his rum before he offered a response, "Ofcourse we have a good way to lure out the three thieves, and I intend to let you all handle them. I on the other hand will see about tending to the marines." Sebastian jerked his thumb toward the numerous bottles of rum in the warehouse, "There is enough rum in here to set an entire building ablaze in a matter of minutes. I say we give the marines something else to deal with, its likely they will be to busy with controlling the fire to be worried about who is leaving the city." Sebastian still assumed that there was a bigger guy behind all this, which was why he even mentioned it to Jet. If the leader behind it all was killed by his brother it would be the same as if he did it himself.

"One of us needs to do this while the rest handle these fools that would dare steal my ship," Sebastian said as he stood up and stretched, "So you all can decide what you will do to the thieves, I will handle the marines. Just make sure you don't harm my ship in the process of getting it."

Alexis was quite happily tuned out while she was looked about the warehouse and bustled inside, dumping her stuff and pulling out her guns, spinning them round on her fingers and smiling before taking out the new ammo and loading them with care. As much as she didn't want to keep these guns, it didn't mean that she had to be careless with them. She leant back on the wall of the warehouse facing Bastian and the random man who had appeared out of nowhere while she and Rain were gone. He hadn't even had the decency to aknowledge her presence after she had the obvious decency to acknowledge his. Bastard. But still, Alexis never usually worried herself over people like that. She went and collected her map off the floor, rolling it back up and placing it in the back pocket of her hip bag before going back over to the wall she had been comfortably leant on before.

Well... then she picked up on what the bastard said about them as a crew. She stopped dead in her tracks and her green eyes narrowed on the spot of the wall that she could see clearly. She turned round with a face that screamed murder written all across it, glaring at the one who had insulted her and the comrades that she had. Sure, they weren't intimidating, but each one of them had unique skills that the everyday lummox would never have. "Don't say we're having that bastard on the crew..." She said in a highly disbelieving voice through gritted teeth. "I don't take kindly to people who refer to me as a prostitute and go ahead to insult our comrades either." She continued in a serious 'come near me and I'll rip your head off' kind of voice. She visibly twitched when he said that it didn't matter after all the insults, and she scunched her palms into tight, angry fists before releasing them again after her nails started to dig into her palms. "Well it obviously does matter, you son of a bitch; otherwise you'd have never even mentioned it!" She came close to shouting at him, but remembered that they were meant to be laying low, so to speak.

After her little rant she still continued to glare at the bastard, refusing to be nice or remotely civil towards him anymore. He had angered her and pissed her off to high heaven, so she would simply blank him and ignore anything he said; occasionally shout or curse at him if he remarked on her silence. It was decided. Nobody got away with calling her a prostitute or insulting her in any way, so it was easy to see why she was so pissed off with him.

Alexis did regain faith in her captain after he defended them all by saying they were an asset to the crew and he wouldn't pick just anybody for it, and she calmed down a little. Her face was still hard and her gaze was cold and glassy, as if screaming that she was out to kill somebody. "I'll do whatever is assigned to me." She shrugged indifferently and listened, nodding her head in understanding afterwards. 'Oh god damn it... I have to work with that... that... bastard.' She thought bitterly, glowering across at him and then sighing deeply as she picked up her bag of clothes, leaving the warehouse without a word. She went next door into an abandoned little building and changed into her new clothes before stuffing her old stuff into the bag angrily after folding it so it wouldn't crease up. She tied the laces on her sneakers up and went back into the warehouse after leaving the building, placing the bag down again and leaning on the wall that she had taken to before.

Again she remained silent and folded her arms over her chest, waiting for orders to be made and plans to be set. She wasn't going to contribute unless she was asked to now, just to be difficult thanks to her mood being ruined.

Listening to Jet, Rain thought it’d be a good idea to tune him out, what with him talking arguing with his brother. She moved over and sat on a crate in a nearby corner. She stared at the two moving about, then she noticed Jet look at her. She turned on the white noise as she heard him say something about being in a day care after insulting the other two. Then Jet turned to his brother again and Rain shrugged and put the white noise back on. She knew she had a small body so she didn’t pay much attention to his little comment.

Rain however, looked over at Jin and Alexis, they were getting mighty fired up from the looks of things, they both had started talking to him with fierce gestures. Rain smiled a bit and lied down on the crate, waiting for them to get finished. She closed her eyes for a minute and thought to herself, Well, that plan’s a scrap. Jin and Alexis are way too pissed, so I don’t think splitting up between the two of them is a good idea. I’ll work with Sebastian and Jet I guess. If they’ll even have me that is… Rain stared at Alexis and Jin, Alexis was fed up now and had left. She returned and Rain decided to turn her white noise back off. Just in time too, as Sebastian started planning. Something about the Marines again, Rain couldn’t hear in her corner of the room.

She then sighed and moved over to the group again and started, “Jet, you’ve seemed to have pissed these two off, I have a high tolerance as I’ll do anything to get the work done. Alexis, Jin, you two handle the axe wielder. I’m sure you two can handle yourself. Jet, you like women, sexy women, right?” Rain didn’t wait for an answer after having listened to him earlier, the tone in his voice, “Of course you do, so I suggest that you and I take on this Sharr woman, this whore of a markswoman. Who knows, you might be able to persuade to do whatever~ you want if you can beat her good enough, catch my drift?

Rain stared at Jet with a slight smile, Ugh, I hope I can start being myself around this son of a… Bleh… I’m not a mean person… I just don’t want the others feeling uncomfy. Rain waited from a response from the brawly man.

Jet smiled as his brother defended the crew members he chosen and who Jet insulted. Jet knew Bastian chose them for a reason and knew they can hold their own. The problem that Jet had with the crew members was the fact they had yet to earn his trust and respect. Only one person has ever fully earned his trust and respect, that was his brother, the Captain of the Belmonte Pirates. “Well if you chose these people, I guess they did something right.” Jet sighed. “They may be crew to you, but they are currently still scum to me, probably two steps above the thieves in my opinion.” Jet smirked as he said the last few words as he knew those words were going to add fuel to the fire that was burning within two of Bastian's recruits. Bending the nerves of people was a drug to Jet as the more he pissed someone off, the more influence he had over them. That belief brought ecstasy to Jet.

Jet knew the man known as Jin, Gray to Bastian, was wanting to probably skewer Jet with the katana he wielded. Jin was obviously a swordsman, most likely a skilled one if he was chosen by Bastian. He looked like he could handle himself in a fight, but that wasn't what Jet was looking for. He wanted to know if Jin could kill without mercy if he was going to be part of the crew. Thankfully, Jet would be able find out soon enough when it was time to slaughter the thieves who foolishly stole a ship from the Belmonte's. Jet then gave one last bit of attention towards Jin as he stated he just wanted to join the damn crew and get the boat. “Sounds like someone is a little impatient. Good to know you're not a coward,that's one thoughts about you I can throw out the window.”

After responding to young but old-looking swordsman, Jin, Jet was verbally assaulted by the red-headed woman. Jet grinned as Alexis or Redd called him a bastard and a son of a bitch. “Seems like you hit the nail on the coffin with those names.”Jet chuckled. “Can't argue with the fact that I can be accurately labeled as a bastard and a son of a bitch.” Taking a few steps toward Alexis, Jet gave the woman a rather arrogant smirk and somewhat taunted her. “Seems like I hurt a certain someone's feelings. I'm guessing you may want an apology.” After the last sentence, Jet walked over to Alexis until he was within an intimate distance of her. He then whispered in her ear. “Sorry to say, there's no chance in hell in that is happening.” Retaining his arrogant smirk, Jet turned his back on her and went over to get himself a bottle of rum as Bastian planned on the crew course of action which was basically burn a building, kill the thieves, and retrieve the ship.

Opening the bottle of rum, Jet leaned against a wall while Bastian continued. Jet wanted to get at least buzzed before they fought the thieves as it would be boring to him to fight the dumb-asses sober. Being buzz would be a bigger challenge in Jet's mind. However, according to Bastian, there was a bigger threat behind the theft, which was the reason Jet wasn't going to get flat-out wasted. As the plan was discussed, the small woman with the white hair spoke to Jet as if she was trying to make peace. She even tried to team up with him and fight with the woman archer. Jet was then rather disgusted as she casually believed that Jet would fight the woman just so he could get laid by the whore. Jet glared at the small woman with disgust. “Your loli ass may get screwed by a bunch of scumbags and horny dumb-asses who can only think with a certain head. But NEVER associate me with those sad excuses of men by thinking I would even touch a filthy skank of woman like that archer.” Jet then quickly regained his usual smirk. "Besides, you and Lexi should kill the whore, I'll murder the big man.” Jet then glanced at Jin. “Geezer, you can take on the Zero bastard who thinks he can copy my style.” Jet pulled out his signature knife, admiring his favored weapon. “I'm sure you will have no problem with low-life.” Jet grinned. “If you even have a small problem with him, I might kill you myself....” Jet then frowned. “However, Bastian would probably save your ass. Damn.” Jet sighed and took a drink of his rum. “Well Bastian, ready to torch this eyesore of a building when you are.”

Jin looked towards Sebastian to hear his plans on how to distract the marines. Setting the warehouse on fire, now Jin had to admit that was a good idea to get the marines off their backs for a moment’s time. Alexis blew up into Jet’s face like she did on the way to the bar with Jin. Man that was fun, but now it was getting late. Evening was settling in, and the rum smell in the warehouse was stanching up the whole area. A man behind the scenes could that be possible? Honestly how Sebastian phrased it before, it seemed very likely that there might have been someone behind the scenes this whole time

At first Jin got nervous to hear that he may have to team up with Alexis or Jet. Now that Jet said he could try and take out the big ass man with the axe. Now understandably that fight would not be easy on Jet in the least bit. Zero for instance should be at least being fast and accurate if he used those daggers as throwing knives. Other than that Jin could match Zero in speed, but the axe man was not in favor. He was a threat. His strength should be as powerful as a tiger’s jaw trying to snap a human’s head off his or her neck. ”I may have to prove myself to Sebastian and you god damn ass, but you should prove yourself to us too. Knowing your big ass mouth, you may only be talk and nothing else. Taking on the big man with the axe, I hope you know it won’t be easy, but Sebastian may show up in the fight and save your sorry ass.”

Jin looked towards the door. ”I will be outside and look out if any marines come towards the warehouse before you burn it.” Walking outside to see nothing but one man was looking strangely at warehouse. The man was walking towards Jin, but Jin started to walk away. He could hear a scream the man said, ”Stop kid. I am a marine I need to ask you a question!” Jin turned around and dashed towards the marine. Quickly drawing his katana from its sheath, he slashed the marine in the abdomen. ”Well I will throw his body in the fire when the warehouse starts the burn down.” The marine fell down with instant death. Jin quickly grabbed him by the legs and threw him over his shoulder. He waited for the rest to exit the warehouse.

Night had begun to fall in Loguetown which meant it was time to set things in motion. Sebastian put faith that the people he had accompanied himself with were capable of seeing this job done. "Its a shame to see all this rum go to waste," he said as he stood up and grabbed a barrel. He began to splash the liquid all over the warehouse to the point the place stunk of rum and liquor. As he did so he did a final go over in his head of what the plan was, at least what his part was. He didn't care who killed the thieves as long as they were killed. His job would simply be making sure that his ship was safe and clear to leave the docks. "Well, lets get this done and over with. I will stall until you all leave, I figure an hour should be more than enough to kill some thieves. After an hour I will set the warehouse ablaze and from here I will meet you at the thieves docking area. Do try to get along until we get off this damn island."

That said, Sebastian would grab a full bottle of rum and tear off a piece of cloth from a nearby window curtain. He stuffed the cloth into the bottle so that half of it was hanging out the bottle. He moved to the door and opened it so that everyone inside could get out. He noticed that Gray was carrying a a dead man who bleed out on Gray likely due to a cut on his body. Sebastian frowned at this only because now the plan had become more complicated. "Don't tell me you just killed a marine," he asked with a shocked look on his face, "You didn't think that through did you? You don't think they will notice one of their own missing from patrols?" Sebastian shook his head at the rashness of his new recruits actions, "Dump him inside near the large barrels of rum," Sebastian said as he pointed to where the location he wanted the body was. He glanced to the others in thier small little group, "Hopefully you all will be a bit more subtle until we at least find the damn thieves," Sebastian said as he closed the door after the body was properly hidden in the warehouse.

"Alright boys and girls, shall we wrap this up quickly," Sebastian said with a crooked smile.

It was taking all of Alexis's self-control to stop her from pouncing on Jet and putting a gun to his head due to his arrogance and cocky attitude that he upheld. By the looks of it, he wasn't about to stop being a total dick, so she would have to just grit her teeth and bare it for a little while. At least if they got off the island, she could have a proper go at the scumbag without fearing the attention of marines and the like. 'Just a little longer...' She reminded herself and winced when he talked about her, Rain and Jin being just above the thieves. After all they had done to help Bastian, they were having it all thrown back in their faces. It was frustrating to say the least. Whether Rain seemed affected or not by the insulting, Alexis and Jin were surely getting annoyed of being treated like stuff worse than shit.

She instinctively backed up a couple of steps when Jet came towards her, refusing to be too close. She scowled at him, her green eyes looking hard and unwelcoming, as if they were screaming 'Come near me and I'll bite your head off!' Unfortunately, he didn't really catch the drift of that. He came right up to her, and because she was near the wall, she couldn't go back any further. She had to stand her ground and jerk her head away when he went to whisper in her ear. "I wasn't asking for an apology..." She said steadily as she closed her eyes with a deep sigh. "You really are as clever as you look... not very." She said bluntly, opening her eyes once more and being amazed that she managed to keep her temper under wraps that time.

She stayed rather indifferent while Jet retaliated to what Rain had said to him, and she couldn't help but snigger about it. 'Yeah right...' She thought sarcastically when he said that he wouldn't sleep with that 'whore of an archer', as he called this mysterious Sharr woman. 'He'd sleep with anything that had a pulse if he was given half a chance.' She thought, keeping her little jibes to herself just to give herself a bit of a laugh.

Alexis was rather confused as to who she would be going after. She noticeably flinched when Jet called her Lexi, and screwed her fists together tightly by her sides. Afterwards she folded her arms over her chest to stop the urge she had to strangle him. She didn't mind the nickname Lexi if it was anybody else but HIM calling her it. She waited patiently for their Captain to give the orders of the building being burnt down to the ground; which was actually quite a good idea. In truth, she hadn't notice Jin leave the building due to her being so angry at Jet, but she blinked when she left the warehouse before everybody else and saw that he had managed to kill a Marine. She laughed slightly and shook her head. "Maybe that wasn't the best idea, Jin, but it's better than letting him know that we're here." She smiled a little, for the first time since Jet had turned up, and then her smile quickly dropped when she turned and looked back into the warehouse.

So they were to be burning it when everybody had exited. That meant she, Jin, Rain and the bastard were to be leaving pretty soon. When they were all ready, they would start heading down as quietly and quickly as possible to where the thieves were meant to be. She waited silently for the others so she could follow since she didn't really feel like leading.

Rain shrugged toward Jet, keeping her comment to herself, keeping herself under control. I just don't want him harrassing them anymore, at least, I don't mind being the butt of his jokes. But to call me a whore was taking a bit far, she thought to herself. She placed her hand on her hip after his comment and went back over to her crate.

Jet was obviously an instigator, but for what purpose, Rain still had to figure out why. She sat on the crate and placed her face in her hands. I'm not mean, and I can deal, but why do I want to cry? She sighed somewhat and rubbed her nose looking back up, Jet had said something about Alexis and herself taking on Sharr, so Rain began to think about a plan to deal with her. However Sebastian had said that they all needed to leave and search for the thieves. Jin was the first to leave, and about another half minute, Alexis had started to leave, but she seemed to be shocked about something outside, then Rain saw as Jin carried a marine’s corpse into the warehouse. Sebastion said something about an hour or so before, so she decided to leave and not think much on the marine.

Were they catching on to us… Or was this just a random act of violence on Jin’s part? Rain shook her head and continued to think as she started to leave the warehouse. She couldn’t help but feel a darkened aura about the crew now, something was odd and slightly off about her thinking now. A dark cloud kept coming back when she just looked at the marine, something was eating at her now, something about this group of people. I just need to help Bastian, maybe this will pass and I can get on with my life, or maybe even new life with these… mostly respectable people.

Rain walked outside and stood next to Alexis, almost feeling a scowling aura come off her and Jin who stood there, somewhat drenched in blood. The feeling of darkness came back and Rain knelt down slightly, and kept thinking about Sharr. She was a markswoman that much is known, how strong she was, still varied. Jet definitely wanted Alexis and Rain to take care of Sharr but Rain couldn’t picture how it would work. If Sharr was better than they were then there would be a skill disadvantage, if the info they had gotten was wrong, Sharr could easily have backup, and if Alexis and Rain had no rhythm she would be a collaboration problem. Rain kept thinking, But that goes without saying that we might also be better than she is, that we out number her, and that we might work well together. I still worry about Jin taking on the head of the three though, and Jet, as cocky as he may be, might be no match for the axe wielder. If I told him that to his face, he’d kill me. Rain snickered a bit and looked up at Alexis, poking her leg slightly telling her to kneel down, so she could tell her a plan.

Rain started, “Alexis, can you do close up fighting? If not, I could easily just use my rifle as a semi melee weapon. Just a question, but I suggest we head over to where we’re supposed to be and plan.” Rain got up and tugged on Alexis’s arm trying to lead her over to the rendezvous point.

Hey Yo!
[ *  * ]
Jet drained more of the bottle of rum as he chugged the bottle for a good thirty seconds. The rum was great in taste and brought warmth to Jet's stomach. Jet sighed in disappointment as all the rum in the warehouse would be consumed in the fire that would be started in a few minutes. Slightly shaking his head, Jet was irritated at Bastian's plan, which was basically babysit the new recruits while Bastian got to do the easy task of getting the ship back. However, Jet knew facing the thieves with the group would be a good test to see if they had what it takes to be part of the crew with Jet himself. He was happy withhimself that he was able to get under Jin and Alexis' skin, but was impressed with the small girl for her ability to remain calm and collected. Alexis seemed if as if she was wanting to murder Jet. Alexis also made a few small sarcastic remarks towards Jet, but he merely ignored the words as they were insecure comebacks. “Seems like I struck a nerve there Lexi, you don't look so well. Probably should go back to mommy and daddy if you don't like you're little feelings hurt.” After his small retort, Jet ceased his fun at pissing off Alexis as he had a much more serious matter to focus on.

Even though he vocally boasted that the fight against the Ax Man would be easy, he knew it would be quite the opposite. With his information on the thieves, he chose who would fight whom carefully. Alexis and Rain would fight the archer mainly for two reasons. The first reason was two markswomen were better than one. The second reason being that Jet had little faith in the two women being able to fight the Ax Man and Zero. The Ax Man could probably eat their bullets with his muscle and would rip them in half with a single blow, while Zero could defeat them with speed and his range attacks with his knives. Jet wanted Jin to fight Zero mainly due to Jin being a swordsman who used speed as his weapon judging by appearance. For himself, Jet chose the Ax Man as Jet had the advantage over him. Even though the Ax Man was a beast in strength, Jet could hold his own well in close-combat. Jet's advantage though is his skills in medium and long-range combat which the Ax Man mostly has none of.

Jet turned his attention to the three recruits who probably strongly disliked by now even though they only known each other for brief time. “You people most likely doubt I will be able to kill the Ax Man and would probably even wish him to kill me instead. Unfortunately for you, those doubts and your wishes will be proven wrong.” Jet usual smirk disappeared as his face turned rather emotionless as he said the last sentence. Jet noticed then noticed that Jin left the warehouse but quickly came back with the dead body of a marine that Jet presumed he killed. Bastian then scolded Jin for his actions by saying jin was too rash and didn't think his actions through. Jet shook his head. “Bastian, it's not entirely his fault, not everyone has the ability to talk their way out of a situation. The marine got what he had coming to anyway, just a little sooner than you would of liked.” Jin then left the warehouse ready to go, which prompted Jet to do the same. “Well Bastian, you get ready to do torch this place, we won't need an hour for that trash. Even with the chumps you recruited, it'll be fifty-nine minutes max. I'm off to show the thieves the road to hell." Jet then looked back at Jin, Alexis, and Rain. "You three can follow if you want.” With that said, Jet left the warehouse and headed to the location of the ThievesHideout, which was given by Bastian when he explained everything to Jet and the others.
Adventure! Yeah!

Jin didn’t mind getting scolded by Sebastian honestly. He had his own good reason for the killing the marine. The marine would have seen all the vandalism and knew who set it on fire. Jin was just keeping a good eye out for the rest of them. Without another second to waste, Jin threw this body into the place Sebastian had designated him to. Meanwhile he found an extra bottle of rum to soak the dead body in so the fire would burn through the flesh easily and quicker. Pouring the rum onto the body, Jin didn’t care to explain himself about killing that low life of a marine, but honestly the crew would find the “unnecessary killing of a marine” as an act of defiance. He decided to explain his action. ”The guy I just killed. There was a good reason. Although you may think I may be a little paranoid, but I am just being cautious at this time of need. The marine was stationed to see if they could find any of the men and women involved with the bar fights and murders. He was stationed in the alley and saw me leave the warehouse. I did not confront him, but he confronted me. If I had told him nothing was going on or any other kind of shitty lie, it would have been proved wrong in the next few minutes, so I took it in my own hands to end his life and save ours. He would have seen all of us leave the warehouse and could identify us later. The marines could think that the guy just ran from the marine core, because without any remains they won’t find out.” Jin looked straight towards the place where Jin left the body before looking back at each of the other crew members.

Jin didn’t wait to see the warehouse aflame but see from miles away or during his fight with Zero. The match wasn’t going to easy, so he equipped himself with a plan. He wanted to get Zero away from everybody around him. Jin couldn’t fight a well skilled fighter with reinforcements. Jin looked to his right shoulder and saw all the blood dripping down his cloak. He didn’t care that it was bloody, but the marines would be hunting him down. Jin neatly folded the cloak and put it under his arm. He folded the cloak so that the blood would not show to any of the civilians around town.

Seeing that Jet was going to leave soon to head over towards the hideout, Jin had no worries and began to follow him. He had seen a few flyers on his way here about a Zero kind of character. There were a few pictures of him around, but Jin remembered a good one. It was him burning down a store. It was to prove his control and power over the thieves and the shop owners. He had heard rumors around the shop owners that he had visited to find a job that they said Zero made a rotation usually every month to show that he was willing and able to kill anyone that did not accept him.

While walking with Jet out of the corner of his eyes he saw a man pestering probably a shopkeeper in an alley. Well Jin could say he got lucky and found that Zero wanted to do his rounds this day. Jin kneeled on the ground having his katana resting at his hip again and grabbed three stones from the ground. Jin could only guess this man was Zero. He matched the picture that he had seen before. He held his knives, so Jin could not kill him easily. His throwing knives rested on his thighs having 3 throwing knives on each thigh. Looking towards Jet and the rest of the crew, ”Looks like it is my turn to fight now. I’ll see you guys at the thieves’ hide out. Hopefully will see you guys alive, but for you Jet I don’t know.” He waited till he saw that Jet and the rest were gone from streets. Jin was in the opening of the alley and looked towards Zero and said, ”Hey you mother fucker whatcha think you doing there!”

Jin throws his first of three stones toward Zero, but completely missed Zero and hit the shopkeeper in the head knocking him over. Jin thought to himself, Fuck. Jin decided to throw the second one, but this one only hit the ground that was a foot in front of Zero and rolled towards his toes. Now Jin barely cared and threw another stone. This time the stone landed on Zero’s knee. Jin heard a whim of pain and took off in a full sprint. Hopefully Zero was just behind him.

Alexis blinked with surprise slightly, smiling down at Rain as she realised it was her who had poked her leg. She knelt down as if knowing what her comrade wanted her to do and waited for what the woman had to say. It was obviously a plan of some sort, because that was why they were both on the same level to discuss it. She gave a sympathetic smile and shook her head at the question asked of her. "I'm really not good at anything to do with physical combat. To hide that weakness, I persued markswomanship, yanno. If you could do what you suggested, that would give us a great advantage with somebody at close range. I doubt that this Sharr woman would have a lot of strength or stamina if she's a markswoman like us." She said with a small nod, making an assumption of course, but it was a rather true one. She allowed Rain to take hold of her arm and pull her up to her feet, looking round at the two guys that were also to be coming with them.

She raised an eyebrow at what Jet said, but shook it off. She would just simply ignore him, that was what she'd do. It seemed that she would have to deal with this bastard on the same crew as her, so the least she could do was act a little civil. She did noticeably twitch when Jet called them chumps, but kept her cool. She was about to go in for a bit of a challenging fight, but at least she had Rain to back her up. She rolled her eyes when Jet asked if they wanted to follow, which was a rather easy answer of no for her. But, they were a team, like it or not, so they had to get going. She followed after Jin and Jet, gently tugging Rain alongside her as they were to be fighting together against Sharr.

"So, Rain... have we got a bit of a plan?" She asked curiously while they walked, keeping quiet all the same. She didn't want to bring anymore attention to herself. "If you could use your rifle as a melee weapon even for a little while, I could cover the mid and long-range as well as watch your back. Other than that... we'll just go in and see what we can do. We should try and figure out how this woman works as soon as we see her, and engage in combat with her, because sometimes that is the key to beating somebody." She said off the top of her head while pondering all their options. She was caught by surprise when Jin spotted Zero and took off after his target. She was going to shout good luck to him, but had to hold her tongue as she realised this would draw attention to them. So she kept quiet and walked past, her eyes forward as if ignoring the fray that was about to kick off.

Alexis carried on walking for a few more paces, and kept her eyes ahead looking out for any sign of Sharr. Just a glimpse of anything else female apart from herself and Rain would be a good start, to be honest. It seemed that guys ran this town.

Rain stayed by Alexis’ side, keeping an eye open for Sharr, anything would do, a large gun, a womanly charm, but something that would point to her being a pirate. Then Alexis asked if they had a plan, Rain thought for a moment as Alexis continued. “I could cover you…” she had said, then it dawned on Rain as to what they could do. Rain thought to herself a little further, noticing Jin run off. Seems he found Zero, and he’s pretty good at getting his attention. Maybe Sharr isn’t too far off. With that thought Rain became alert as she started to give Alexis the plan and as she noticed Jin throwing rocks, another thought occurred to her.

Well, you see, I was thinking. If you can keep a good aim on her as you cover me, then I might be able to keep a good melee going.” Rain turned a corner tugging Alexis with, still hoping they could find Sharr close-by. She started talking in a lowered tone and volume. “I’m trusting you to keep me covered, I want you to hop up on the roof nearest to her and keep as quiet as you can be, then keep an aim on her as I get close. I won’t provoke anything before I actually get in her face, but when I actually do get in her face, I’ll start patronizing her the best way I can. Then you shoot after you think she’s getting mad and draw her attention somewhere else, that’s when I’ll smack at her with my rifle. When she starts fighting back, shoot her again and I’ll throw a smoke pellet and cause a smokescreen. Then I’ll run and you hop down and start following me, hopefully I can hide behind something after running a bit, because she’ll naturally be shooting at us. But I want you to keep running, I’ll get behind her and use my rifle and shoot her in the back. She’ll probably fall then and if she’s still alive, I want you to come back and barrage her with bullets.

During Rain’s speech, they had taken turns into a back alley area, three alleys that connected to a single open spot behind several shops. There was a girl there, beating up on a old peddler yelling some nonsense. It was dark and a street lamp illuminated the cul-de-sac of alleys. The woman started shaking the peddler and continued asking the man for money. Rain tugged Alexis down and behind a trashcan and started to whisper, “You remember the plan right? Go back that way and silently get up on the roof there. I’ll head over there to her once you’re in position.” Rain waited for Alexis to move, and kept an eye on the woman, she had an evil aura about her, it had to be Sharr.
