Without a Trace (A DMDTS Sequel)

[jnfs2014]

"What previous expedition?" Jason butted in, eager to know what they were talking about.

[Light]

((Oh, Mira, and his oh so innocent mind... =P))

"Your healing powers are most useful," Harver said bluntly. He then turned to Jason. "Oh, we sailed around. Nothing large."

[Max Headroom]

((If this sequel became a movie, that would be the best part of it XD)).


"... Oh yeah, glad to have been useful in that regard." Mira replied. "That was some sailing expedition, wasn't it?"

[THEBIRD]

The captain brought his kick upwards, about to slam in between Riou's legs. At the same time he attempted to dodge the kick sent at him, but it ended up knocking his nose hardly, which begun to bleed.
---
Parry felt a stinging pain in his cheek. "Ow, well blimey!" He put his own gun away and attempted to punch Lanbar right in the nose.
---
Solon, unnoticed by the pirate, now watching the battles, remembered he had a postbox to look for. "You seem to be doing good on your own, Lanbar," Solon said. "Listen, when your done with this, get on the boat that has everyone else on it!" His instructions were vague because he didn't need the pirate knowing that they were about to steal his ship.

Solon then continued running down the road, being as stealthy and fast as he could, toward the center of town.

[Kierou]

The kick caught Riou's leg, flipping him, and sending him facedown in the street. Quickly recovering, he aimed a headbutt for the captains gut.

[THEBIRD]

The captain stepped back from the force of the hit, but grabbed Riou when he made impact with him and leaned in his weight to send them both tumbling to the ground.
---
Solon found burning buildings when he reached the center of town. There was virtually no one, except the three pirates he saw laughing, parading, and drinking rum. Slowly, he crept toward an alley way. 'Gotta distract 'em so I can get to that postbox!' Solon realized, thinking up a plan.

[Kierou]

Riou kicked his foot on the ground while falling pushing him forwards enough to send a punch at the captain's face.

[THEBIRD]

The punch nailed the captain right in the cheek. "That's it... No more playing around!" The captain and Riou hit the ground, with Riou underneath the captain. Now, legs wrapped around Riou, sitting up above him, the captain was ready to strike. "Take some of this!" the captain yelled, beginning to throw some punches at his face.

[Kierou]

Riou took the blows, all the while punching at the captain himself.

[THEBIRD]

The captain took the hits as well, punching Riou's face even harder. Eventually, he stopped and rolled off of him. "That's enough," he panted, face bloodied. "I'll admit you are an admirable opponent, but I can not toy with you any longer." The captain removed something from his pocket and then said, "I will fight you again." And then he threw whatever he had taken out of his pocket onto the ground. Smoke emerged almost immediately, and when it cleared, the captain was gone.

Solon pulled apart a piece of the bullet from the gun he pick pocketed from Parry. He took out the gun powder and spread it out and finished by spraying the rum he had "borrowed" from Lanbar ((if you don't mind, of course)) all over the building the gunpowder led to. Hiding back behind the alley, Solon took out his lighter and started a spark over the gunpowder. A flame quickly lit up and followed the trail he had set for it. When it reached the building and hit the rum, there was a blast.

The building was in flames and partly destroyed now. The noise attracted the pirates, who rushed over to enjoy the dirty work. "Perfect," Solon muttered. He then ran silently across the plaza, reaching the postbox the pirates had practically been guarding, and slipped the paper in. "Boom, baby," Solon whispered, remembering a catchphrase like that he might have heard on TV, and using it as his own.

"'Ey, 'ey! Look ova' thar!" one of the pirates shouted, noticing Solon.

"'Eh, wha' abou' tha'..." the other one said, shaking his head from side to side. "'Ooks 'ike 'e gah' oursehves a rea' good one, eh Bert?"

"Tha's righ', Ernie!" Bert replied, chuckling. The two of them soon encircled Solon, drawing out there swords. "An' he ain't even armed!"

"Well, fellas, let's do some math," Solon proposed. "It took me fire, gunpowder, and alcohol to create my diversion. Just because I haven't drawn a weapon, doesn't mean I don't have one. Now, whoever can guess the weapon hidden in my back pocket correctly first wins!"

"I s'pose you'd 'ave a gun?" Bert said.

"Bu' so do we, so ih dun mahher much," Ernie added

"Wha' do we win?" they asked in unison.

"Your prize," Solon started, drawing the revolver, "is the first shot." Solon fired the gun, hitting Bert in the chest. With only a grunt, the pirate went down. 'Oh man,' Solon thought, now getting nervous. 'Rules are rules... Kill anybody who sees me...' Solon's hand started shaking slightly. He stared at Ernie, who he noticed had drawn his own pistol. 'Aim. Fire. Don't think. Aim...' Solon pulled the trigger a second time, hitting Ernie's hand at the time when he pulled his own trigger. It messed up Ernie's shot, and the bullet that was aimed at Solon's chest hit his left shoulder instead. Solon stumbled slightly, but Ernie was still alive, he needed to finish this.

'His hand...' Solon thought when he glanced at it. The hand that had once held Ernie's pistol was now red, and seemed to be missing multiple fingers. 'Now this isn't about murder... this is about ending his misery. I'm doing this for the greater good,' Solon convinced himself. With the last of his energy, as Ernie stood there, screaming in pain, cradling his lost hand, Solon aimed the gun right at Ernie's head. There was one last blast, and then Ernie fell to the ground, dead before he hit the floor.

"That's a wrap, folks..." Solon fell to the ground as well, unconscious.

[Anarchy_Jas]

Jas looks up, their target ship in view, and quickly looks over the best route on board. She follows it, navigating through the ally ways and towards the docks. 

((A pirate captain with ninja smoke bombs... xD))

OoC// Sorry, been busy.  I'm sort of reinventing my character in this post, so forget everything.
IC//

"No...  This can't be happening..  I came here to get away from pain and violence, why does it follow me wherever I go?  I didn't want to ever have to take arms or watch a man fall before me again..."

"Do what you have to do, kid.  Do it for them."  The voice of Roy's one mentor came to him.
The ironic thing is, playing guitar was nothing but a cover back then as well.
"... I need a knife, or a dagger..."

Roy just watched everybody leave, he was in shock and didn't move an inch.  "You can do this, it's what you've been doing you're whole life."

Roy suddenly got up, calmy walked to Solon's abandoned kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife.  It's crude, but it's sharp, and will hurt when stabbed in the gut.

Just before walking out, Roy took a glance at a mirror.  He lifted his hair and looked at the scar that he so carefully hid from view.  I will do it for them. Roy walked out into the night.  The air was tense with the screaming and gunshots of the pirates pillaging the town.  He walked with a confident stride, while not knowing where he was going at the same time.  He never heard a single word of Solon's plan, he just kept walking. 

[Kierou]

Riou ran over to the unconscious man. Lifting him he said to himself, "The one with everyone onboard."

[Light]

((Bert and Ernie? XD))

Harver followed Jas, constantly looking behind them to make sure that they weren't being followed.

((I'm guessing there's an Elmo on that ship, too?"))
  Jason followed, seeing as there was nothing better to do.
