Out at Sea

The Night was ending, the moonlight glowing over the waves of the ocean. The Archipelago Isles were out of view now and they needed to find that man they had lost before.

The small ship they borrowed from Tesla’s friend sailed faster than they had planned as they approached a small island that seemed to hold a small town, and also harbored a familiar ship.

Hey!” Tesla called, “Isn’t that Blood’s ship there? He escaped us once, it won’t happen again.

She thought back to the Archipelago when Axel had taken Blood from under her. Only after a few feet of dragging his useless body, they were ambushed by his captains and they ended up swimming out to a ship that was undocking, and got aboard.

There was the possibility that their entire crew belonged on the ship, however, it was more than likely a commercial ship. There was no flag, there were no cannons that could have been fired back at them, so Tesla assumed it was a commercial ship that saw two stranded figures in the nearby water.

Tesla glared at the ship and clenched her teeth, “Tch,” she scowled, “I dare them to try that again, even if we have to raid that ship to get at them. We’ll lay anchor on the other side of the island. It’s small enough so I think that’ll be fine.

Island Docks

Good thing this island was close enough to the archipelago, only took us the night to reach here, but to think, those bastards came here. There must be a big commerce center on this island for that ship to dock here, unless…

Tesla decided not to think anymore on the pirates and wanted to focus on capturing them in the stealthiest way possible. She tried devising a plan and walked up on shore, looking back to Axel, and crossed her arms.

She started then, to look towards the plant life of the island and started to think to herself about her poisons. She should come back, if she remembered, and collect some of these to make a secondary muscle relaxer.

So what now Axel?” she said, sighing while she looked forward toward the candlelit town.

Axel was completely zoned out since they lost their target. Blood Hammer to bastard did find his captains and got to be able to ambush Axel and Tesla. Tesla and Axel made it an option to work together and find the god damn three pirates and hunt them down. Axel kept trying to find a plan to capture all three of those pirates. Axel was having a grudge against those three. ”Honestly my head is still in a jumble from what happened previously. Last time I found Blood Hammer, he was at a bar. I can only guess that we can find Blood Hammer at a bar again, but this time he knows what we both look like. If we cannot find Blood Hammer at any kind of bar, we will need to be able to separate the pirate crew up. I am not cocky enough to think I will be able to take care of twins and Blood Hammer.”

He looked at the brightened up city. The pirates must be celebrating that they were able to escape from two bounty hunters. They didn’t know that Tesla and Axel were following them or at least were trying too. Walking onto the shore right behind Tesla, Axel took out his stiletto from his hip and looked at the sand on the ground. He started to draw a little circle and continued to keep tracing the circle. Using his hand or fingers in any kind of activity kept his mind thinking and at those times, Axel could think of the best strategy or such. ”Honestly I can’t think of anything to be able to confront these three pirates. It would be easier if we knew what was in the city or anything like that. If we can gather some information before hunting down those pirates, the rest of the hunt would be easy. My suggestion right now is to stay low and learn the city and meet back around this shore in, I don’t know, a half of an hour?”

Axel put back his stiletto onto his hip. Grabbing his black hood and laid it over his head, Axel just waited for Tesla to either accept or deny his request of scouting before hunting. He only hoped that both of them didn’t run into any kind of trouble and thought that he could take off his black layered coat to throw off any kind of suspicions of the pirates. There was a problem. If he wanted to keep low suspicions from Axel or Tesla, they would both have to unarm themselves. That was just a dangerous move overall. He once again waited for Tesla to say something so they could move on.

Tesla unfolded her arms and stretched. Her mind drifted off, causing her to stare back at the plants that grew all around, the herbs and other vegetation pulled her in. She went over to grab a few herbs and placed them in her bag. I’ll save these for later… she thought. Then her thoughts focused back to Axel, who was playing in the dirt, then he spoke about snooping around.

I don’t mind getting around here or there. I’ll just silently creep on through, they might spot me unless I’m careful about where I step. Thing is, I don’t know if Axel and I are going to be enough. They got the jump on us last time.

Tesla’s eyes glared toward the town and traced the rooftops.

I’ll take the Eastern side of the town, we’re on the southern most part of this island so we could easily flush them out. But I don’t know how we would take them on either, I sure as hell know I couldn’t take them on by myself as well. So thirty minutes it is then, eh?

With that, she rushed into the thick vegetation and made her way to the town, nightfall wouldn’t last forever, so they had to make every minute count.

Axel didn’t want another freaking drop on them. The night was still anew, but the clouds that covered the moon so that no moonlight could shine through the small little town. Seeing Tesla running to the east of the town, Axel decided to rearrange his weapons to appear just as a mercenary or some kind of escort. He didn’t want to make it known by any of the public civilians that someone was hunting the pirates around this small town. Even worse this town could be filled with civilians that approve of the pirates’ ways. The Celtic sword was arranged next to his right hip and both stiletto were put away to his left hip. No matter what Axel made a promise to himself that not one god damn pirate will escape his angry today; all of them will die by Axel’s hands and maybe with some help of Tesla. Axel decided to go towards the west side of the town and looked around to find any kind of unusual movements by the people of the town. He needed to find the thieves that lay low around this area. The thieves always knew where the pirates or any future problems would be, because they always wanted to loot the dead bodies or steal right under their god damn noses. Most thieves in the city hated to be associated with the pirates around the Blues.

Axel held those two Wanted Posters in the right pocket of his pants. He clenched them whenever he thought about his failure to have caught those bastards. Having Tesla around screwed around with his head. Working with people was not such a strong suit for Axel, since he always learned how to hunt by himself. These pirates have proved themselves to be a little difficult.

Watching over the west side of the town, Axel walked in the civilian path area. There a little of commotion, since the drunks of the town will be going aroudn the night trying their best to find an easy place to stay if at all. Thieves also came out around this time of the day, so stealing from the drunken rich around town would not be much of an difficulty. He found a nice looking rich woman with her husband or maybe husband. She was probably the best target to go after. The two of them walked with pride, and thieves love to steal from the pride. These two were a perfect mark for any of the thieves around the town. Axel shadowed them without staying in complete view of the thieves.

A drunk walked past them and bumped into them. As a drunk should always stumble around and act like an idiot, but this drunk wasn’t really drunk at all. He used his shaggy appearance to deceive the naked eye of a civilian. This so called drunk grabbed a nice emerald necklace from the woman’s neck without making a single noise of breaking the golden chain on it. He slowly put the emerald necklace in to his pocket. Axel smirked and liked this guy’s ability to steal with such ease and stealth. ”Now the predator shall become the prey.”

Axel decided to change his direction and shifted his weight to turn the other way to follow the drunk. The act of turning around with swift and silent, so the thief would have not noticed this happened. For five minutes, Axel kept trailing the thief and decided to steal the necklace before the thief turned into a secluded area. Slowly walked towards the the thief, Axel slide his hand into the thief’s pocket and took out the necklace. The necklace was quite beautiful. Another minute, the thief turned a right into a dark alley. Right when the thief turned into the alley, Axel grabbed him by the shoulder and said, ”No need to look through your pockets. I got the necklace. Trust me I don’t mean too much harm. I just want some details from you if possible?” The thief looked at Axel strangely but could find a little trust in the silver haired man.

Axel dangled the emerald necklace in front of the thief but created enough distance between the thief and the necklace. He can bring the necklace back to himself without getting what he wanted from the thief. The thief nodded to Axel to show the cooperation that the thief will show him. ”First I find it amazingly how you were able to steal the necklace with such sly. Now for the real question. Do you know these three pirates. I have a feeling they are in this area. I want to just talk with them if you know what I mean. Oh and to be fair I will trade this necklace for that information about those three pirates.” When Axel had mentioned the three pirates the first time, he had grabbed the two crunched up Wanted Posters and gave them to the thief. Axel had emphasized on the just talk portion with his voice and also by reaching down to his Celtic short sword. The thief just nodded. ”Well I get what you really want to do with these pirates.”

She had climbed up on top of a roof and gazed out into the dim-lit town. There was a fountain in the middle of the Eastern square, the eerie silence and calm breeze calmed Tesla’s thinking.

She looked throughout the town and judging by the nose of the West part, the people were located there. She sighed, “Looks like I’ve made this search more difficult for myself.” Everything around her seemed to be still while she sat on the roof.

Tesla looked down below, the square was empty, and the wind could be heard softly carrying the noise of the West to the East. She carefully hopped down and started to creep through the back alleys of the small town.

She couldn’t hear anything save for a few cats. Maybe everyone really was over on the Western side, not like she would be able to get over there. There was a wall that separated the two sides, too large to be climbed since there were no ways to get over it, the closest buildings to the wall were about a 15 meter jump.

With her thoughts of getting to the west now crushed, she continued to sneak around the houses, but found something that caused her to feel uneasy. A man splayed out on the ground, his face in the ground. There were nearby trash cans, knocked over, the wall of one of the houses was cracked and blood lined the man’s torso. Tesla shivered and turned the man over; he had been hit across the chest with a sort of blunt object. Tesla withdrew a dagger and cut the man’s shirt open and took a closer look at his chest; his sternum was broken, a few of his ribs caved into his chest.

She stood up and wiped her dagger off on his shirt, and peeked inside the window of the house. She saw nothing and pressed her ear to the wall, no noise coming from inside, so she decided to search the man’s pockets.

No wallet, no ID, no keys, nothing but a glasses case. Tesla assumed he must have lived at this house, and dragged him behind some nearby bushes. She motioned to move inside but heard the door creek open, she dashed behind the corner and watched as a woman walked slowly outside, taking a few steps before she collapsed onto the ground. Tesla became wide-eyed and wanted to dash out but thought it would be best to stay where she was and watch further for anything more suspicious.

Did she… see me? Or is someone in there with her…?

Tesla blinked and watched as a man holding an axe walked out of the house, walking slowly in the direction opposite Tesla. He muttered to himself as he threw a pouch up and down in his hand.

Is that… the one I had captured earlier that got away? That axe looks familiar…

The thief looked at him. He had to objection to tell him about those pirates, but only told him that he had seen a one of the captains staying around that house around the corner. Axel granted the thief the necklace and started off for the area before knowing about anything. ”Go off and sell that emerald necklace before any marines can find you with that stolen item and force you tell you of your associates. I don’t want to cause of trouble for myself. I just want to be able to get around the areas without causing any commotion.” The thief bolted into the deep dark alley in front of them, and Axel decided to walk back into the street.

The street and the noise were just overwhelmed with people. Axel looked to the east and thought to himself wither Tesla was having an easier time or just as hard as Axel. He saw this gigantic wall around that separated the town right down to the middle. He couldn’t try and understand this wall that separated the west and east side of the city. One sober person walked passed Axel, and Axel grabbed him by the arm and turned him to say, ”Why is there a wall in the middle of this city.” The person just shrugged Axel off and kept walking away from Axel. ”Well I guess the people around this area are not so very kind.”




In the meantime, the thief had left the alley and sprinted to where one of the captains had led low. They had sent Blood Hammer on a hunt to get money, so they could pay for some of the food they may need for the sea. ”Blood Rumble, please excuse me from your nap, but a man was looking for you, your brother, and Blood Hammer. I chased him off to a empty house, but I am pretty sure he will find another way to find us.”

Blood Rumble yawned from his nap and put on his steel knuckles. ”Bring him to me now. I want to show this god damn man to leave the Blood Rumble and Blood Gauge crew alone. This will be your first assignment Gino. If you dare to fail me, I shall have you killed by my hand.” After putting his steel knuckles onto both of his hands, he drew a machete from the ground and put the palm of his left hand onto the side of the blade and slide it down. It showed how dangerous this man could be.

”I am on it captain.” Gino ran from the room and darted to the street that Axel had walked to. Without a doubt, Gino found Axel on the street and saw that he was staring at the wall. Gino wanted to get out of this god damn city that is why he had joined the pirates.




Axel putting his right hand onto his Celtic short sword before having his left hand touches the door knob. Something gripped him in the back and a black rag came over Axel’s mouth. At that moment he knew something bad was going to happen. He tried to scream, but nothing would come out. He needed to get out of this and thought to himself, God damnit I was too careless to go in this random building.




Gino had put a black cloth with some kind of chemical that was given by Blood Rumble a while back to take care of anyone following them. He had dabbed the cloth in this chemical and decided to put it over Axel’s mouth. Gino carried Axel’s body to the this house where Blood Rumble had decided to hide out in. Before entering Blood Rumble's room, Gino tied Axel hands together and his feet. Taking away his weapons from Axel's hip. He entered Blood Rumble's room and dragged Axel's body into the room by hold Axel's ankles. "Blood Rumble I have brought the man that decided to follow you, your brother, and Blood Hammer. I will leave him with you."

Tesla’s eyes traced the man’s figure, and her eyes caught on the hammer on his hip. She then realized that the man actually was the same “Blood Hammer.” His strong figure still just as it was before, but this time, he hadn’t been running so catching him wouldn’t be as easy. I need to move before he starts to get far away. This might end badly if I take too long…

Tesla then carefully stepped out from the corner and withdrew a dagger from her thigh. As she tip-toed quickly behind him, she started to soften her steps and with the sound of the jangling money, it made it easier for her to sneak. The clanging and clinking of the money got louder and louder as she approached the man from behind.

Tesla studied him as he walked; him still unknowing that she was there, while his speech to himself was dulled out by her own thoughts.

She crept within breathing distance behind him and grabbed the axe he laid on his left shoulder. While doing so, she impaled her dagger to the right of his spine, thrusting it beside his stomach, then withdrew it quickly. He groaned and swung his right elbow back, knocking Tesla on the right side of her face near her ear. She stumbled backward and kept her eyes on him, ducking a slight bit and sweeping his legs. The axe and the small bag he held flew into the dark streets and she stood back up.

He had fallen, and groaned in pain again as he landed on his prior wound, then immediately swung his body and legs in a circular fashion. He had struck Tesla in her waist and she cringed to the side as he regained his balance standing up and grabbing his hammer.

Tesla kept an arm wrapped around her stomach and held her waist and stared at the man, his waist bleeding. They stared at each other as he recognized who she was.

Ha, whadda wan’? We got away from you both once, guess ya’ got some more left in ya’ huh?

Let’s get this over with, Blood Hammer. I want you to tell me what the hell you’re doing here, and this time, no one’s around to hear you scream.” She pulled out both her daggers and held them in a fashion so that the handles pointed towards each other.

I wouldn’t be so sure of ma’ self if I were you, you don’t know what might be waitin’ in the shadows ma’ dear. You got a lucky hit on me there, I didn’t think anybody’d be on this part of town.

Tesla’s gaze brightened and she glared at him, her eyes locked on his, “I guess we better wrap this up then, I don’t want you to keep your friends waiting, but we’ll see how ”lucky” I get.

He scoffed and smirked in her direction, “If you win, I might just tell you what you want to know. Not likely with your small ass though.” He pulled out a small shaft and twisted it into the handle of his hammer, then a dagger and twisted it onto the edge. Then stood in an odd stance and looked towards Tesla. “Ready then, love?

Tesla’s eyes pierced his as she became filled with excitement and rage, “Who’re you calling love, you scumbag asshole.” She kept her stance and they stared at each other.

Feeling a rat biting on his ankle, and Axel could still feel the some kind o grip on the same ankle the rate was nibbling. He couldn’t remember much other than the some kind of chemical entering his body, and everything went black from there on. He looked around the room to not find one person. The room looked like a prison. The door of this “prison” was steel by the looks of it, and there were no windows to be seen from where Axel was placed. He realized that he was tied up. His wrists were tangled up together and same with his ankles. His hands were tied behind his back. Realizing the horrible situation that he was in, he tried to reach for his stiletto or his Celtic short sword. Within slow reaction, he finally noticed his weapons were missing from where they were placed about ten to twenty minutes ago. Rather than staying in a position of lying down on the cold wooden floor, he decided to raise himself with his bundled together hands to a sitting position. Axel made a small pact to himself to say that if he ever finds that person whoever forcedly gave Axel some chemicals. He will slowly kill that person.

Wait ten to twenty minutes I have at least been knocked out. That left five minutes to find this place. Shit Tesla will be there on the shore without me. She might even leave without me. She might even have the heads of the captains and Blood Hammer. Shit then 50/50 split on the beli would not work so much would it.

Gino walked to the room that was supposed to hold the prisoner. He looked through the slit of the door to see Axel awake and wondering where he was. Axel looked straight at the door. There wasn’t much else to stare at, and he was pretty sure that whoever kidnapped him was going to come through that door soon. The door opened. The thief from the information extraction was coming through the door. Axel was at first really excited to see such a friendly face but rethought the events that led up to this situation.

”The name is Gino and part of the Blood Crew. I hope you realize you will die for trying to find us.” Diverting his stare to the outside of the door, he could easily see that his weapons laid out near a table probably another door, but the door looked like it was the exit from this facility.

Ignoring the so called Gino, Axel kept trying to think of a plan of getting untied from these ropes and escaping while grabbing his weapons. Gino punched Axel in the jaw. Forcing Axel to snap back into the reality that was in front of him, he had to first take care of this god damn thief. ”Listen to me when I am fucking speaking to you. You little mother fucker of a bounty hunter think that you wouldn’t get caught by one of the strongest pirate crew. Blood Rumble told me everything about you. Well everything that happened about a few days ago. Now Blood Rumble will take care of you, but first he wanted to make sure his brother was taking care of their ship that was on the west shore docks. He will be back soon, but that wall will take some time to pass through.”

Now Axel was completely happy. He had found the location of both of the captains. One was in this god damn house, but the other one is taking care of their ship. This new pirate was an idiot to think that Axel wouldn’t use the information for his own good. Axel could definitely get out of these ropes. Finally remembering about the little extra weight that was in his boot, Axel knew he could definitely get out of these ropes now. Now to catch Gino off guard, he wanted to be able to keep Gino talking until he was sure that the ropes were finally undone. He repositioned his legs to have his feet and boots close to his hands. He reached down his boot to grab the god damn knuckle knife to save his life.

”So fucking tell me why the hell are you fighting so dirty ass pirates? I know that the life here may not be so amazing, but why not become a marine or a bounty hunter. A pirates life isn’t so easy, and plus all god damn pirates are scum of the earth.” Axel didn’t care to convince Gino out of this life of piratery. Al he wanted to do was distract him while he cut the ropes from his wrists and ankles. He had to make sure not to drop the knuckle knife from his hands.

He charged quickly at her, she kept her stance till he swung in a downward diagonal with his left hand. She dodged by crouching down to her right, almost ground level, and swept at his legs again. This time he took advantage of her sweeping motion and slid a ways back with the force of her kick, he then couched down himself and grabbed her ankle and dragged her across the gravel ground, then turned his body to throw her, forgetting about his wound. He cringed in a slight pain and held his waist letting go of her ankle.

Tesla motioned to get up, but he took notice and enduring the pain, he wildly smacked at her with his hammer. She rolled, dodging it only slightly with the mallet landing close near her ribs. The impact of the hammer to the ground sent a shock wave through the man’s body and he continued to endure the pain as he flowed from the pounding of the hammer to a severe stomp onto Tesla.

She rolled onto her back and caught his foot with her palms, and rolled again, tossing him over onto his wound, once again. He howled in pain then got up once more, ready to continue.

Things aren’t getting so easy since I stabbed you huh?” she laughed and charged at him.

Shut… The Fuck… Up… Girl.” His panted speech, trying to catch a breath, but still noticed Tesla coming. He turned his body clockwise and with the momentum of the turn, kicked with his right foot.

Tesla crossed her arms over her left side and blocked the kick, only to be blown away by the force of the impact. She flew over into nearby crates and barrels, and coughed heavily.

Like I said, I ain’t done yet, girl.” he charged over to the crates and leaped into the air, and held his hammer in a way so that the dagger he attached before, pointed towards the ground where Tesla lied.

As he landed, the impact crushed several crates and dust and wood could be seen creating a small clouded area. He stood up slightly, leaning on the hammer now impaled into the ground, “Now it’s over. Looks like I won.

That so?” she spoke as she pointed the dagger to his neck, “Looks to me, like you missed.

The man’s eyes became filled with rage then and he stomped on Tesla’s thigh. She groaned and watched as he unsheathed the hammer from the earth and held it directly over her. He stood over her, his silhouette against the moon.

See you in hell, girl.” he grumbled as he started to motion down.

That’s right, I am a girl, huh?” She then kicked him in his groin, and his expression and the atmosphere changed. The pain that coursed through his body, only to make him drop his hammer beside Tesla and kneel on both of his knees in front of her. She scooted backward, sitting up against a smashed crate then tried to stand. Her thigh hurt now, and she found it difficult to move. She looked over at the man who was cursing under his breath. She took a knee and listened as he looked back at her.

You… Y-you… Bitch… Ugh… Should ha-have… Just died… Fucking… Scarlet.

Tesla couldn’t help but smile as she looked at him, “You sure have a lot of names for women, but being reminded that I’m a woman didn’t help your case. Gender based physiology and structure won me this fight. Though I’m ashamed to say that won me the fight, I just couldn’t afford to lose right now. I didn’t like doing it, just as much as It hurts you, but if you’d like, I am a doctor, I could easily fix that problem by just cutting them off, what do you say?

The man groaned as a shadow came over his face and he continued to feel the pain.

I’ll take that as a no then, but what was our little deal? That you’d tell me what I wanted to know?

I ain’t tellin’ you shit, whore.” he glared at Tesla and cursed under his breath more.

Tsk tsk, you sir, are in no position to make that remark.” she moved behind him, and held the dagger up to his neck and whispered into his ear, “Or how about I just cut them off anyway and slowly peel away your skin, then your muscles, and just break your bones, all one limb at a time. Would you like that a bit more?

Fuck… You…

Aw, I was hoping you’d say that…

She slowly cut a line across his shoulder, down his arm, and impaled the left side of his spine, where his kidney would have been. He howled again in pain and laid flat on the ground.

She cut his shirt open and carved into his back, “Sure you don’t want to tell me…?

He remained silent.

Pity.

The night sky glowed a brilliant midnight blue, the stars flickering and the sea breeze flowing ever so gently by. The western part of town seemed to be the liveliest place; everyone was laughing, dancing around, having a good time would be the appropriate adjective to describe the merriment. The east was still quiet though, save for the cats and other animals and save for a man, his flesh now a dark red, the eyes of bloodlust now filled with tears while he was carved alive, screaming and pleading for mercy. The eyes of true bloodlust watched as he squirmed to tell her what she wanted to know.

No more!!!” he screamed, most of the skin of his back peeled off now.

I’m surprised you’re still alive you know. But thanks for that information on your hideout, turns out it’s in the West side, eh?” Telsa got up off the man, and dragged him by his ankles back to the house she had found him by, dragging him behind the house. “You killed that man here, now it’s your turn.

She slit a circle around his neck to let him die faster than he already was and dragged him to the bush she had hid the man from before.

West side of town, 2 lanes from the port, the ship is docked on the same side. They had sent him here to gather some cash, I had better check these homes for any clues but it only looks like he made it to 3 of them. Hm. Wasted effort I guess, Axel won’t mind if I’m a little late and take a look at this hideout.

She spun her dagger around and sheathed it, then patted both of them as they sat in their pocket. She then laughed a little and started to make her way around the perimeter of the town.

Let’s get a little more info then, shall we? This Gino, and the two captains seem like interesting people.

The knuckle knife was now getting a little harder to hold on to right about now, but nearly the rope around his wrist was cut. He had barely reached the little gap that he had made with his arms. Axel had to try his best and pull his wrist as far as possible from each other as they would go. The space in between his wrist wasn’t too much, but the room was still enough to be able to not cut him in the process of cutting the rope. The rope was durable, but Axel was still able to cut through the rope.

Gino on the other hand was still venting on how awful the place was around here. He would look out the window and express that the wall that separated the east and the west was just a symbol. All it did in the long run was cause a troubling factor to everyone in the city, but the mayors of both sides love it. Axel felt that there was going to be a basic cliché of Romeo and Juliet between Gino and some other girl. He wanted to take a stab at it, but this time Axel was nearly done with the rope around his wrist. Next he would have to work on the ankles. Axel thought about it a little bit more and decided that asking about his love life might buy him a little more time or it would force Gino to punch Axel in the face, if the question was a little too personal for Gino. Gino was still saying to himself and Axel that the two sides were not that much different.

By the time Gino was able to finish talking all his anger off, Axel had already cut the rope that kept his wrist somewhat well bound. Axel was already working on the ankles by the time Gino was going to walk out. He had to take a stab at it. ”So I guess your little spoiled girlfriend is on the other side of this god damn wall right?”

Gino flinched on his way out and when he turned to face Axel, Gino looked like he wanted to kill Axel. Axel knew he touched bad water now, so he went back to working on the rope around the ankles. The rope around his ankles was a lot looser, so when he cut through them it made everything so much easier. Now all Axel had to do was tempt Gino to attack Axel. ”So you mother fucker got no more life ever since your girlfriend or should I say ex-girlfriend married someone her family made her marry. Now she can’t talk to you at all without getting in trouble with her husband or parents.”

Axel could see Gino clench his teeth and the tightening of his jaw. He knew know that this was really a bad wound in Gino’s past. He had to keep poking it until Gino let all the anger out on Axel. ”I mean why would she want to marry someone useless like you anyway. You make your living off of stealing shit and then she has to worry about you getting caught so why not go find a worthy husband.”

The last statement made Gino snap this time. Gino raised his fist towards Axel and swung the fist at him. Axel was able to spring out of his position now and countered the punch with a fist to the stomach. Gino had all the air in his stomach come out because of that punch. He laid on the ground grasping for air.

Axel ran for the steel door and then for the outside. Grabbing his weapons on the way out, Gino finally got off the ground and ran towards Axel. Axel grabbed the knob of the wooden door, but found out that the door was stuck. He made a sprint towards the stairs that led up to the roof of the house. Putting on his weapons in their regular placement, Axel ran to the roof to find a way down the street. In the back of the building, a ladder was there to bring anyone from the roof to the alley right next to this building.

Gino spitted out some comments about Axel, but Axel didn’t care whatever this bastard was saying. Axel wanted to just get out but might have to end up killing Gino. This most likely possibility is for Axel to actually come and try and kill Gino.

Walking into the crowd while Gino was busy trying to get down off the ladder that Axel had just taken, Axel was able to easily blend into this crowd of people around him. Gino was at the end of the alley looking at which way Axel may have gone. Gino decided to actually go the way that Axel went, but he bumped into a lot of people to go and find Axel. Axel planned on moving slowly with a crowd of people, but Gino was in front of him now. He slowly grabbed one of stilettos from its sheath. Creeping from behind of Gino, Axel flipped his stiletto that the blade of the dagger with point away from the pinky. He grabbed him by the throat and quickly stabbed him twice in the left side of his chest. Hopefully the stabs will kill him. ”Rest in peace you fucker.”

Gino slowly fell to the ground holding onto the area of his shirt that had the blood flowing out of it. People gradually crowded around Gino and his dead body. Axel was probably really late to the meeting with Tesla, but he got to the shore without Tesla being there before. Axel decided to wait and clean his stiletto.

Tesla made her way to the Western side of town; the crowd seemed to be quite large even as the night went on through midnight. The moon in its crescent shape beamed down on the town, the wall still casting a shadow over the Eastern side. Tesla now sat on the wall itself, there were several places one could see from this point and she focused on the fountain in the center of town, the water flowing and shining amongst the numerous people. Her legs hung over the side of the wall and she continued to look across the landscape, getting in every view of the town.

She looked at the ship in the distance; the port it was docked in had several smaller ships, sailboats by the look of them. Near the docks were several shops and closer to those, was the spot that Hammer had told her about, their hideout.

I wonder if I should report back to Axel with this info now, I mean, I know I can’t full well go in there and start rampaging like I can take on- Her thoughts were cut off when she spotted her partner on a distant rooftop. He was running and there was another man chasing him. She couldn’t make out which of the remaining 3 it was, but there was no way a marksman would have tried chasing him that far. She watched as Axel made his way into the crowd with the man following, getting lost in the crowd. Tesla kept her eye on Axel and watched him sneak his way around the crowd, and as he bumped unknowingly into the man again, that was when Tesla noticed it was Gino, the newest recruit.

She lifted a pebble before Gino could turn around toward Axel and motioned to throw it, but she put her arm down as Gino looked up at the wall in her direction. Axel then stealthily slit Gino’s throat and vanished into the crowd, she saw him reappear moving toward the South.

So… That’s two down, two to go. Heh. That sly son of a bitch, I don’t see how no one noticed him cut Gino’s throat, I guess this must be the party side. Look at them all, gathering around that man’s body like they’re interested.

Tesla heaved a heavy sigh and motioned to climb down the wall, down the nearby ladder back into the Eastern side. Better head back over to the rendezvous point.

She climbed down and looked over the woman from before, still lying on the ground. She ran over to her quickly and dragged her back inside her home and closed the door. She then started to jog back to the Southern coast and found Axel cleaning his stiletto daggers.

Well, nice job killing Gino, but what the hell happened to you and why the hell were you in their hideout? I mean, I ran into Blood Hammer on my recon in the East, but that was barely any trouble.” Tesla gripped her stomach and coughed for a second, “Haha, spoke too soon, he sure as hell was strong but I see why he was their underling. But regardless, do you know where their leaders are? I mean, I had heard they were in the hideout last Hammer heard, I got all the info out of him, also, may have killed him, we’ll come back for the body later. We need to make sure we take care of the other two before daybreak. So… Let me hear it.

Tesla spoke of Axel killing off Gino except she had gotten all the facts completely wrong. He waited for awhile to see if she would catch that she had said a few wrong comments about him killing Gino. Axel never slit Gino’s throat, stilettos were not used a lot to slit and slash on people. Stilettos were used to stab and to quickly stab. Axel had stabbed Gino twice around the area of the heart. He didn’t know if the actual stiletto stabbed him in the heart, but it had to chip one of the major arteries or veins. Also part of no one real noticing Axel probably was not true, Gino had said when they were in the hideout and that not many people actually cared about each other. They wanted their lives to just keep going. Especially in the West side of the city, Axel knew that everyone just crowded around the man and no one went to find any kind of authority at all. Axel was able to just walk out without any kind of obstacle to get in his way. Axel didn’t know if he could trust Tesla anymore. She knew he had killed Gino but one of the details was wrong. Plus if he had been able to slit her throat, you would have had been close enough to see Axel and Gino together. He would have been able to find Tesla from his sights but probably couldn’t because of all the running around. He decided to ignore the misinterpretations Tesla had about the killing. ”Long story short I found one of their members in an alley, but didn’t know he was an ally of the Blood crew, and the new member decided to trap me in one of their headquarters.”

Tesla spoke about Blood Hammer and grabbing the body later. She had killed him and done the best as she could do. Gino most likely had no bounty on his head, because he was a brand new recruit. So having Gino’s body would not benefit either of them. ”Well I was able to grab some information from Gino, the new recruit. I hear that Blood Rumble and his brother, Blood Gauge, are on the dock on the west side. We should head over to that area before they leave. Blood Rumble will go to their hideout and find out I broke free. They must want to get out before I can find them wither to leave Blood Hammer behind or not.”

He decided to check on his Celtic short sword while waiting for Tesla’s answer. He wanted to make sure the damn pirates didn’t nick or hurt his god damn sword. Without a nick or touch on his Celtic sword he put it back into it’s sheathe. Axel was ready for the next fight to begin for the best.

Tesla crossed her arms and shifted her weight to one side and let her hair fall gently down the side of her body. She sighed and looked at Axel, who seemed to stare at her as if she were insane. She wondered what he was thinking; she had only told him good work on dealing with the newly recruited thug. She rolled her eyes and moved toward the boat they had docked, and retrieved a few inches of rope still listening to Axel speak.

At least you got out somewhat safely I presume.

Yelling from the deck to Axel on port, Tesla decided to note a few things while listening to the small facts about the location of the Captains.

Heading back to the hideout would be best, that way we know that the captains are actually split up. They apparently had a routine in mind, so let’s hope that they stick to it. I’ll head to the ship they came on.” Tesla slung the bundle of rope across her shoulder and grabbed a metal hook; she then hopped off the boat and started to make her way along the coast, headed west. She lifted her arm and waved her hand, and said back to Axel, “Well, I’m headed to the ship. If you’re wondering, I need these to get the drop in on that Marksman, he uses a shotgun, so there’s no way in hell I’m going to go head first. I had a straight forward fight with Hammer, but this needs a little… improvising.

Before Axel could say anything, she faded out of sight, still heading towards the ship. She looked to the ocean on her right, the moon still shined against the waves; midnight gave them at least 5 hours. Not that they’d need that much time Tesla thought to herself, but better safe than sorry, taking into account the potential fights, the gathering of their corpses.

Tesla sighed and dropped the rope and hook. She then grabbed three of her hairpins out of her pocket and put her hair up. She scratched and patted her hair to make sure everything was straight and picked up her things once more, continuing on her path after heaving yet another sigh.

A bit of pain coursed through her abdomen after she breathed and she cringed only slightly as she continued walking. She had hoped that this small pain wouldn’t prove fatal when she faced the Marksman and his shotgun. She could already tell, one false move would have her blood splattered across the sky.

She shivered and laughed. She clinched her teeth and her eyes glowed with a demonic aura, she laughed more but calmed herself soon after her small insanity spur. How unlady-like of her, to laugh maniacally, at least, that’s what she thought, thinking back to Hammer, who kept defining her femininity.

The ship was in view and Tesla tied the rope through a small hoop on the hook. She was ready for a fight now. She was ready to feel alive for the second time today.

Knowing the area that the two captains should be in Axel watched as Tesla began to spout some words to Axel. Axel wasn’t much of a listener when he knew his facts and could get out of any sticky situation. He knew that those two captains would be one their way to get out. One guy as Tesla had just said probably Blood Gauge held a shotgun as a choice of weapon. Thinking about each one’s name, Axel could guess that Blood Rumble could be using some kind of martial arts or use some kind of metal knuckles as a weapon.

He watched as Tesla walked out of his line of vision. Trying his best, he wanted to find a nice little plan to go after these captains. Axel just couldn’t find a good plan to go against these captains. The ship was too isolated to be able to completely get the upper hand on them. He wanted to be able just slit the throat of one of the captains and gang up on the other one by one versus two.

Taking up his own chance to walk towards the Blood Crew’s ship, he was able to see Tesla from a few meters away. He walked towards her. He could see that she had attached a rope to a hook. Axel thought of possibilities. She could end up latching to the side of the ship and get onto it. That would give them a good amount of surprise, but not enough that can go against a guy that holds a full blast shotgun. If Tesla was right about the shotgun, then being able to fight in close range would definitely put them in a dangerous position. Taking a full blast shotgun at close range would tear up his intestines and organs. Both of them had to avoid that shotgun user in any kind of situation and if he was able to then take the shotgun user out as quickly as possible.

He had to be a hundred percent of what Tesla wanted to do with that rope and hook. Looking off to the distance, Axel asked, ”So what is the plan? I mean the rope and hook is a good idea whatever it is. Tell me what I can do to help or else I will figure out how to kill these guys by just going with the flow.”

Tesla flinched as she heard Axel's voice, her ears ringing with each sylable. She shut her eyes tight, halting immediately in her tracks, and turned slowly around toward Axel. Tell me he's no-

Blood then rushed to her head as she became slightly infuriated. "Why the hell did you follow me!? Eh!? You don't know one thing about me, so the least you could do is listen when I say: Split. Up!” She started to swing the hook around in a circle, then slammed it into the ground. The hook was imbedded in the earth and the rope attached to it fell slowly to the ground. Tesla took a knee, pressing her fingers to the arc of her nose, sighing softly.

Ignoring any comments Axel may have had. She rose to her feet, grabbing the rope and hook again, then turned her back to Axel, “Ugh… My head…” she started, beginning to laugh to herself, “You startled me. I apologize,” she said softly, continuing her walk to the nearby ship.

I became a bounty hunter to quench a habit I have from my childhood. I blame my father,” she laughed slightly and turned her head to her left, looking out the corner of her eye toward Axel. “That small part of rage was only something I was bottling, it’s what I keep locked inside me until the time is right to unleash. You should see Blood Hammer’s body; I did a number on it, at least, his back anyway. The plan I had for myself was to climb up from the shallow waters onto the ship. To make sure I didn’t get caught, I would only throw the hook high enough to loop onto a metal bracket that should help keep the ship together, then I was going to climb, and sidle myself across to the rear of the ship. From there, I was going to climb up further and peek over the side to make sure no one was there.

She sighed slightly looking at the ship that stood only twenty yards away. She moved into the nearby brush and watched the dock. There were several people loading the ship they were supposed to be raiding; with what, Tesla did not know, nor could she tell. She climbed a tree and looked down to Axel, “Well, what now? This wasn’t in my plan. Too many people are here.

She climbed back down and crossed her arms, leaning her back against the tree and looking down toward the grass.
