Daemon was considering calling it a night, they had gathered quite a bit of information, now rest was required to process that info. As he puffed on his cigar he paused, he heard a peculiar noise, like when a then sheet of metal is flopped about. Only this particular sound was more fluid and getting closer, he barely had time to duck before the end of his cigar was struck. The cinders were scattered into the air lighting the small area, for a brief moment Daemon, Rau, and four masked men could be seen. They wore the same masks that were beginning to become a headache for Daemon, "Ambush!" He yelled as he heard the wobbling sound of another metal sheet, he then grasped one of his many cleavers. He slung it towards the fourth most thug, and dove as a oddly distracting musical note elicited from the knife. The cleaver clearly struck the fourth man, as all could head a loud slap as it dove in flesh. Daemon rose a cleaver in each hand, the third farthest thug was ready, weaving his metal ribbon back and forth Daemon could only block the swirling sheet of metal! "Spread out or they'll carve us up with the range of their blades!" Daemon clashed head on blocking or parrying the thing ribbon blade as he could, he could have sworn he had spotted another marine close by. But in real life Daemon could never be so fortunate.

"What're going on about now?" Rau muttered haughtily, as he picked at one particularly stubborn pill that had lodged itself within a grate.

Though no sooner had he risen to his feet, than he was sent hurdling back down onto his belly, straight into the gutter. Had it not been for the footsteps that alarmed him, the only thing that would have fallen would likely have been his head. Though his relief was regrettably short-lived. In fact there was barely enough time for him to turn onto his backside before the shadow assaulted him again. He drew his katana, dropping his sheath clumsily into a dark corner - momentarily overtaken by panic as it were.

One - two - three attacks deflected somewhat skillfully, but not a fourth.

Not quite fast enough. He let out a cry as a searing pain shot through his arm, followed by a tingling sensation as blood began to seep through his sleeve. It was a careless mistake, but not one he was meaning to dwell on. His enemy had the high ground, a fact he intended to change post-haste. Using the rush of adrenaline, he wrapped a bloodied hand around the assailant's weapon and sprung to his feet. If speed wasn't in his favour, then he'd take it out of the picture. Though at such close distance, he hadn't a killing stroke either. Instead he swung his sword overtop and struck the attacker on the head with the butt of his weapon, stunning them momentarily. Then using his weight, he pushed them back until he had them pinned up against a wall.

Unknowingly, he had also pushed them out of the shadow, though their visage remained concealed - hidden behind a mask. Not identical, but not grossly dissimilar to the one given to Rau by the dance instructor earlier.

"Who are you?" Rau barked

There was no response.

"I asked you who you are!" He demanded again, this time more forcefully but again with the same result.

The sound of weapons clashing echoed down the alleyway, originating a little distance away. Rau looked back to see trace movements in the shadows. Had Daemon been attacked too? A cold chill ran through his spine down to his toes. But if that were so, he thought to himself. Then that would mean there were -

Rau leapt to the side, barrel-rolling and falling awkwardly into a pair of trash bins, which upturned, spilling their foul contents all over the alley.

"- more of them" Rau finished his thought aloud as he rose to his feet, brushing a rotten banana peel off his shoulder.

Two now, there were two masked assassins, standing side by side. And if he'd been a moment too late, the one on the right would have skewered him right through his heart. He brought his katana in front of him, gripping it tightly in both hands, though the hilt was now covered in blood, making it slick. But that was the least of his worries. He took a step back, withdrawing from the duo who began to advance from either side, their weapons at the ready.

Judging from their brief exchange, he knew he could handle one - maybe. Two on the other hand, was a little dodgy, especially with his arm wounded as it was. Whoever they were, they had the element of surprise and used it well, so much so that victory now was fleeting. He raised his katana over his head and slid his right foot back, readying himself for their inevitable attack. Then he inhaled deeply and let out a deep breath.

Now it was about survival.

The brute before Daemon wasn't that smart, but what he lacked in wit he had multiples in strength. Blaise could barely block the ribbon blade as the brute weaved it before him, but as the pattern began to sink into Daemon's muscles a plan came to mind. When he decided on a plan of action, the brute switched his entirely. The ribbon blade suddenly shot towards his head in a spiral shape, Daemon raised his cleavers to block, but the spiral was much more ingenious in its intent. Daemon's cleavers did meet the blade, but thin blade continues spiraling about and slicing a red line from Daemon's right pectoral to his bicep. He fell backward but rolled, directly into a puddle, nasty water dampening his ponytail as he rose onto his feet in a crouch. He couldn't lose here, and he knew the 3rd assassin must have attacked Rau. He stood advancing in a fury. The brute assumed his weaving block back and forth. As the blade weaved he began to send his attacks far left and right, He then took his opportunity as the thug weaved farther right and left. Stepping back he threw two of his cleavers upward into a narrow arc, one missed. As the other ended the brutes weaving, Daemon took the opening hurling a cleaver hastily for the man's chest. He advance lifting his leg and thrusting to hopefully sink the cleaver in further, the man fell dying or dead.

Daemon spun, the farthest thug had pulled Daemon's cleaver from his arm but was bleeding so profusely he wouldn't last long. "Rau start talking, I'll pick them off in the dark!" He hoped this would cause the assassins to use caution and hopefully relieve Rau a bit, then he would use his range to their advantage.

The one on the left lunged forward, thrusting his spear-like armament towards Rau's head. They seemed impatient, wanting things finished quickly. Fortunately the killing stroke was also easily anticipated as Rau was able to sidestep to his right, dodging the attack with time to spare. He then swung downwards, bringing his katana over the opponent's outstretched weapon, redirecting into the ground with a loud clang.

He had been trained in the art of combat by the marines on the base, but he had only ever practiced his swordplay on the base. And this was his first time in real combat and what's more, he was fighting for his life. Needless to say, the gravity of the situation probably called for a greater level of earnestness, but he couldn't help the feeling of gratitude and relief that his training was actually worth something. In fact, it just saved his life.

Rau was certainly capable, yes, but that didn't help the fact that he was still outnumbered. And so his momentary victory was soon quelled by another attack from the right. He swung diagonally, upwards to meet the second steel, the collision echoing through the alley - another success. Then swiftly back to the right for another deflection, this one more harrowing than the last, but still adding to his confidence - his experience. Though as successful as it was, Rau was also still on his heels and he didn't like it, not one bit.

"Pick them off in the dark?" he barked between heavy breaths, stepping backwards for some momentary reprieve. "What's to stop you from picking me off by accident?"

It was only then that he noticed his sleeve was now drenched in blood. Though the colour of his garbs was the least of his worries as the wound he sustained earlier was now beginning to make its effects known in more concerning ways. Each blocked attack was more tiring than the last and each deflection loosened his grip ever so slightly. He wondered how much longer he could hold on, but more importantly, whether or not he could trust Daemon with his life.

The first question was answered sooner than he would have hoped when he was sent stumbling backwards from a particularly threatening attack, flinching as the blade missed his face by less than an inch. Whatever happened next, he had to be decisive. And his decision was clear.

"Alright!" he roared, startling his attackers for a moment. "Take your best shot!" Then taking a wide stance, he brought his katana in front of him, looking resolute. Though in reality, he was getting ready to duck out of the way of whatever Daemon was planning on sending in their direction. He only hoped his bite was more accurate than his bark.

I was amused by Rau, and a little disappointed that this ended so soon. The SL itself was fine, but it reeks of lost possibilities.

Rau Bureddo- 9 SD, 2,250,000 beli

Daemon Cash- 6 SD, 1,500,000 beli

1 commendation for both of you; we'll assume you beat up the assassins and left.
