((So, this is the second part of the story I made yesterday. Thanks to Jarvan and Anivia for the criticism and opinions.))
August 17, 23CLE
Night had fallen upon Zaun. The Assassin, laying on the roof of an old abandoned hotel, had fallen asleep whilst watching the sky above Zaun change from a deep orange color to a darker gray as the sun set behind the horizon. The air was getting colder as the temperature dropped to almost zero degrees, yet the Assassin didn't move an inch. The only thing that gave away his position on the roof was the two rows of light coming from his mask that covered his face.
His dark green armor blended in quite well in the darkness that surrounded the roof, without the lights, one could walk right past him and not notice him. But as the night fell upon Zaun, the criminals on the streets became more and more. If you listened closely you could hear the screams of their victims, screaming in terror as they were attacked by the criminals. Soon the screaming stopped as the criminals returned to their hideouts to check out their loot.
One group of criminals had recently decided to use the old hotel as a hideout, as no one dared to go into it. Well, except for Andrei, who was sleeping on the roof.
The group consisted of five members; one tall skinny guy who couldn't even open a jar of jam on his own, two short and relatively fat brothers who ate everything that they thought they could eat, one rather muscular fellow who was as smart as a stone and lastly a kid. The kid couldn't be more than sixteen, rather skinny as well, probably an orphan that had to go to crime to feed himself. None the less he was in the group that now moved up the stairs inside the old hotel, they were heading for the second floor when they noticed that the door was open.
The group walked in and noticed nothing different with the room. So they decided to light up the room with a gas lamp and then split the loot. But before they did that, the skinny guy who called himself the leader had to take a smoke. "I'm gonn' get me ah smoke, don't ya dare split without me!" He said and pointed on everyone in the room before proceeding up to the roof.
As he made his way out on the roof he noticed something glowing in the dark. Andrei's mask startled the skinny man, why would there be something glowing on the roof? He dropped his newly lit cigarette on the ground and hurried down the stairs, almost skipping entire floors as he retreated down to the rest of his gang.
The group looked at him as he came into the room in a hurry, breathing heavily and pointing on the roof. "S-s-someone on the roof! Everyone up now!" The rest of the bandits looked at him then back at themselves, what the hell was he rambling about? They did as they were told and followed him up through the hotel and out on the roof.
When the "leader" of the group had been rushing down the hotel stairs he had awoken Andrei from his light slumber. He was now sitting on the edge of the roof where he had been sitting a few hours earlier, this time turned towards the stairwell where the band of criminals came out from.
"I'm tellin' ya, there was something glowing out 'ere on the roof, I saw it with me own eyes!" The skinny guy kept saying as they moved up the stairs. "It was right... 'ere..." The sentence was cut from his mouth as he saw Andrei sitting on the roof, looking at them. "Looking for something?" Andrei's voice rang out from where he was sitting. The criminals stopped and looked at the silhouette of Andrei's body, the only thing glowing was his mask.
Andrei's eyes scanned the criminals in front of him, marking every single one of them with a red tint that allowed him to see them perfectly in the dark. He noticed the kid standing behind the more muscular man. "Hey, kiddo, get over here!" he commanded the kid. But the criminals that stood in the way grouped up around the kid, "Oi, he one of us now. one of the fat brothers replied. Andrei looked at him, he wondered how you could get so fat here in Zaun, unless you were wealthy it was almost impossible.
Andrei was a bit annoyed, first someone had woken him from his sleep and now a group of criminals held a kid captive? It was plenty of reasons for Andrei to kill them. "Fat ass, was I talking to you? Now, kid, get over here."[/color] he said again. The skinny man who stood next to the kid whispered something to the group, thinking that Andrei wouldn't hear him, "You Frank, you go with your brother around him then Bruce will attack him head on, I will..." Again his sentence was interrupted, "Not going to work... I give you twenty seconds to get the fuck of my roof and leave me alone, the kid stays."[/color] Andrei had pulled out his blade and his gun, fully prepared to kill the four criminals.
The skinny man looked at Andrei and laughed nervously, how could he hear them whispering? "H-hah... Looks like we are getting some n-new gear... guys." he said and pushed the two fat brothers towards Andrei, "Go! Show him what we can do!" He said and took a step back behind the brute.
The twins looked at each other then up at Andrei before running at him as fast as they could. Two loud bangs rang out, the roof was lit up by the muzzle flame from Andrei's gun and the brothers dropped dead on the roof. "Told you it wouldn't work. Next!"[/color]
Andrei approached the rest of the group or rather the duo. Making sure not to step on the two corpses in his way. The brute, muscular as he was stood there, shaking a little. Was it the cold? No, he was wearing clothes to keep him warm, it was fear. Fear for not living to see another sunrise, but if he wanted to live he shouldn't have become a criminal, right? The skinny man now stood behind the brute, and the kid was hiding on the other side of the brick wall.
Andrei stood a few feet away from the brute, "Now didn't you pick the wrong fucking roof to go onto? Looks like I'll be adding four more markings on the wall." Andrei said, he wasn't one to duel the one he wanted to kill, that had cost him too much before. "Hey, firewood, stop hiding behind your friend and get out and fight for your /pathetic/ life!"[/color] He shouted. "N-n-no, you a-are cheating... Y-you have a gun!" The small man said, trying to defend his dignity.
A small metallic sound could be heard as Andrei dropped the gun on the rooftop, "Not anymore." His blade shot out from the handle he held in his right hand, "Looks like I have to do some cleaning tomorrow."[/color] Andrei said and looked at his blade. The blade was recently honed so it had a silver color that reflected the moonlight. Soon it wouldn't be silver, it would be covered in crimson red blood.
The brute took a step forward in an attempt to fight Andrei, he swung his fist and with a swift motion Andrei retaliated with his blade and the cold Metal connected with the warm flesh of the brute's arm.
"AAAAAAAAAAGHH MY ARM!!" He shouted and fell down on his knees, holding what was left of his arm against his body, "Ha..HA..HAHAHAHAHA... Die."[/color] the distorted voice rang out on the roof as Andrei laughed before shoving the blade through the man's neck.
The skinny man was now shaking in fear for his life as he watched when his team was slaughtered before him. Andrei pulled out the blade from the brute's throat and watched his body hit the ground. He turned his attention to the skinny man with the intention of ending his criminal life as well. "Didn't your mother tell you it was wrong to steal? That crime is something to stay away from?" He said as he walked closer to him. "Didn't she tell you that I'd kill you if I found you? Didn't she warn you about assassins? Didn't she tell you to be a good boy and obey the law?"[/color] He wiped his blade against his leg and stopped in front of his target, his face was an inch away from his mask. "Tell my mother Hi from me, will you?"[/color]
The target's breathing was uneven and shaky as Andrei closed in on him, when the Assassin's mask was almost an inch away from his face he was blinded by the light coming from it, "P-p-plea..." For the last time, he was interrupted. Andrei's blade came out from his target's back, dripping with blood. Andrei pulled out his blade and pushed it in again, puncturing the targets heart. "Did you say something?"[/color] He looked at the other's face as it grew lifeless, "I didn't think so."[/color] Andrei said and pulled out the blade again. The lifeless body hit the roof with a thump.
