[b][i][u]The Night Takes[/u][/i][/b]
[i]The streets of Dojoville, patrolled by the Dojoville Night Watchers were relatively calm and quiet this evening. Minor disturbances of a drunkard here, a bar fight there. Nothing that could truly draw the attention any big players.
That was until, the murder occurred. Or in this case, murders.
Two of the Dojoville Night Watchers (DNW) had been walking down the street when they heard shouting in a nearby alleyway. Rushing to the sound of screaming, they walked right into a hail of gunfire. Within moments, the two DNW's were on the ground, dead and the perpetrators were moving out, headed straight for a nearby jewelery store.
There were five total, and they didn't seem to be expecting the [url=https://imgur.com/2Gy8sJs]man[/url] that would arrive.
The group approached the store and, presumably, the leader spoke to the others.[/i]
"Let's get that glass cutter up and running." [i]The group parted slightly and the member in the back moved forward, placing a strange disc like device onto the glass of the store. It started humming quietly, the glass vibrating ever so slightly.
That's when he arrived.
Falling from the roof of the building, he slammed the bottom of his feet into one of the five robbers. The robber collapsed under the weight and was essentially crushed under the man.
Quickly turning his attention to the others, the man grabbed a nearby robber by the shoulder and pushed him backwards. The robber stumbled back, falling into a second and the two collapsed backwards in a heap.
The one unoccupied robber raised his shotgun, firing a shot at the man and causing a grunt in pain. The man wobbled to the side, slumping against the wall of the jeweler store while the glass broke down. [/i]
[i]One robber unconscious, two on the ground but getting up, one holding a shotgun and the fifth drawing his own weapon. Whoever this man was, he would need help. Fast.[/i]

"I hardly doubt this will be permanent for any of us. Whether through dead, or capture. Retirement or... Something else. None of this lasts forever..." Nightstalker shook his head sadly before looking at Hammer. "In any case, I thank you for your assistance. Couldn't have done it without you, I don't think."
-
"Well, I hope that you have better plans than to run in at men with firearms with nothing much on yourself. Keep cool, make sure they know less than you. Best advice." He paused, before hearing the sounds of the car doors slamming. "Good to see people like you out here." And he left.
-
Nightstalker turned for a moment, watching as the police entered the store. With that settled, he ran off into the night. [spoiler]End. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Can you reply to this so I can reply to you after I get your reply? [/spoiler]

[spoiler]hello [/spoiler]

Edited by Skatch142: 1/22/2018 10:43:15 PM*The man with the shotgun was probably quite surprised by the hand which silently planted itself on his face from behind, claws digging deep into his skin. This feeling of surprise, however, only lasted the second it took for him to be pulled off of his feet and have his skull slammed into the concrete by the owner of said hand.* *The large woman immediately yanked the weapon from his grip and before the boss could fully turn around she had already struck the arm holding the pistol, using the shotgun like a club. She then swept his legs out from underneath the boss and kicked him in the groin while he was down. She then turned to the men on the ground, the shotgun still in her hand.* *What the man who had attempted to stop them saw was a six foot tall woman covered in white fur with black stripes. She was dead silent as she subdued the men, seemingly out of sheer focus rather than a need for stealth.*
-
"You have my thanks, stranger." The rose and straightened his back, standing tall besides her. He groaned slightly, placing a hand against his stomach. "I was not expecting a weapon of that caliber... From simple bandits such as these.." He groaned again, the two bandits putting their hands up in surrender.

Edited by Skatch142: 1/22/2018 10:52:42 PM*She pulled some zip ties from her back pocket. Did this woman seriously carry zip ties around with her? She bound the hands and feet of the two men and their leader.* [u]Well, at least you still survived a blast from that shotgun... What were you thinking trying to take on a group of men on your own like that?[/u] *She checked the one she had smashed into the concrete. The back of his skull was fractured and he had no pulse. She muttered [i]dammit[/i] under her breath then something else, but it wasn’t clear what she had said or if it had even been in English.* *She rose back up, standing a full six feet and four inches tall. Her tail twitched slightly as she looked the man up and down.* [u]Who are you?[/u]
-
"Who am I? I'm Nightstalker... Vigilante of the village." The man groaned in response, clutching at his stomach still. "But you can call me Nightstalker if you want... Not much of a vigilante. Can't fight a few damned bandits..."
-
*She nodded.* [u]I am Sapphire, member of the Dojo and former officer in the Sphirin Navy... You need to have more than just armor if you’re going to fight criminals, you need proper training too.[/u]
-
"Yes... It would seem that way." Nightstalker mumbled, leaning against the wall of the jewelery store and taking deep breaths.
-
[u]Are you alright? Or did that shotgun hurt you more than I thought?[/u] *She took a step toward him.*
-
"I'm fine. Just some bruises is all..." The man took a step back and stood straight, looking down at the zip tied bandits. "YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED!" One of them yelled angrily, attempting to get up to avail.
-
*Sapphire bent down, face to face with the man and snarled.* [u]Speaking of death, can it or you’ll end up like him too.[/u] *She pointed to the one which she had smashed into the ground. She then stood back up and turned to Nightstalker.* [u]As for you, most of the ‘vigilantes’ in the Dojo could’ve taken these guys out easily. I myself did it in just a tank top and shorts...[/u] *She crossed her arms, thinking for a second.* [u]I could give you some pointers if you’d like. Do you have any sort of training?[/u]
-
"I have training with guns... Disarming men and how to shoot them down. Not much training in hand to hand combat unfortunately... That's my downfall..." He shrugged slightly, looking around the area.
-
[u]Well lucky for you, I can survive on a battlefield with only my bare hands... And a suit of protective armor, but the skills still apply without it.[/u]
-
"Why is that lucky for me...?" Though she couldn't see it beneath his helmet, his eyebrow raised at her.
-
[u]Because I can give you the basics of situational awareness. After I deal with these three, of course.[/u] *She wasn’t usually one to offer free training, or even training for money for that matter, but there weren’t enough people patrolling the streets in Dojoville, even with the new DNWs. She pulled out her phone and dialed 911.* [u]Uhm, hi, yes. I’m Sapphire from the Dojo, you may remember I recently made a criminal deposit a few days ago? Yeah the tiger lady, although I’m a Sphirin, not a furry. Yes, I’ve got three more for you outside of (name of the jewelry store here.) I hope you don’t mind if I leave them unaccompanied? They’re zip-tied. Alright, thanks.[/u] *She closed her phone and pocketed it.* [u]Get on a roof.[/u]
-
"Four." Nightstalker corrected, counting them up. One he had taken down, one she had killed, then the other three they had taken down. "But that's a difference in a single number, not much of a big deal..." He chuckled softly, rushing over to a fire escape and leaped upward. He pulled himself up the ladder, rushing up the stairs toward the roof.
-
*She looked down at the fourth, practically crushed from when he had landed on him. He was most definitely dead as well. She sighed and followed him up the fire escape.*
-
The two exited out onto the roof of the building, watching into the alleyway as some of the DNW showed up with a few dojo members. The bandits were hauled off and Nightstalker looked over to her. "This is prime time for us vigilantes. With that old Malcolm Darimon rising to power and setting up a night watch... Most of what we do will be legal."
-
*She shushed him before he could even start speaking and motioned to the people moving around below.* [u]Suppose we were hypothetically going to attack them, we couldn’t just jump down like you did. What are they armed with?[/u]
-
"Depends on the type of bandits. Some use bladed weaponry, others use weaponry that's more advanced..."
-
[u]No, what do [i]those[/i] DNW’s and Dojo members have? You can’t assume an enemy’s loadout without seeing for yourself.[/u] [spoiler]One of the Dojo members is Vorim. As far as he can tell Vorim has some sort of energy rifle and a long, thin club.[/spoiler]
-
"Well, there's the Trayverns. Use bladed weaponry. There's a new police force who will be using weaponry such as assault rifles..."
