'Thoughts'
"Talking"
[ System Prompt ]
° Music °
——————————————————————————————————————
Altair arrived riding [ Panthera ] in front of a decrepit old building. Behind him followed a yellow sports bike, Bumblebee, riden by Yang who parked byside his bike.
With a kind smile on his face, Altair turned to Yang who took of her helmet to reveal herself to be puffing her face, clearly dissatisfied with the outcome of their little race.
"I guess I won the race"
"Yeah yeah you don't have to rub it in"
With a sigh, Yang put her helmet down and leaned to kiss Altair's cheek. Altair, feeling the kiss, immediately recoiled back, falling from [ Panthera ], earning a laugh from Yang.
"Ow..."
"You good there Al"
Altair flushed pink, as he laid on the pavement embarrassed of what just happened.
'Nicknames on the first encounter. What the heck Yang!!!'
Yang, on the other hand, dismounted Bumblebee as she walked over to check on Altair.
"You look a little pink there handsome"
"Don't patronize me please"
"Hhahaha"
With a giggle, Yang offered her hand to Altair, helping him get to his feet. Altair was a little bit bashful, as he stood up, he immediately turned away from Yang, covering his face that was a blushing mess.
"Ohhhhh, you're getting shy all of the sudden"
"I just need a minute"
"Hey handsome"
"Please give me a moment"
"No way I wanna see your face right now"
"Please, a moment"
Yang brought her arm over Altair's shoulder, making shiver, as her other hand poked his cheeks in a teasing manner.
"Please, just a moment. That's all I need"
"This is pay back for winning"
This back and forth continued for a minute before Altair finally turned to face Yang.
"You just couldn't resist teasing me"
Yang, with a mischievous smirk on her lips, shrugged with her hands behind back.
"Just for you handsome"
"Ughh, please stop. This is bad for my heart"
' UGHH. I swear to Ruby this is just too much for me '
With another giggle, Yang composed herself, straightening her posture before offering her hand to Altair.
"We're in Junior's right now. Why don't we go inside for your drink?"
Altair took a deep breath, which made Yang laugh, before he took her hand and lead her inside the establishment.
————————————————————————————————
Club music echoed, muffled by the doors. With a simple push Yang and Altair, hand in hand, entered the club. A calm, repetitive melody and distorted synths reverberated across the room followed by calm rhythic beat.
All around where men wearing all black suits with a red tie wrapped around loosely around their necks, some wearing hats, and some wearing read sunglasses. Dancers and club patrons were scattered across the dance floor, partying hard having the time of their lives.
Not interested by the nightlife,Yang tugged Altair towards the bar area, where Junior finished talking to man with orange hair who walked away.
' Roman Torchwick? Wait minute if I remember correctly Roman used Junior's goons for robbing dust shops. But the only time it was shown Roman negotiating with Junior was in the Yellow trailer...where Yang beat the hell out of Junior and his men, plus the twins '
Altair glanced at Yang, who was excitedly dragging him towards the bar, nervously as he realized the situation he was in.
' This is gonna be a long night '
Resigning to his fate, Altair sighed as they reached the bar and sat next to the exhausted Junior.
' Let's prepare in advance then '
"Altair what do you wanna drink?"
"Mhmm? Oh right. Just a glass of strawberry milk, iced, and with the tiny little umbrella"
Yang nodded as she requested both their orders to the bartender. While she did that, Altair pulled up his status window, and tapped his inventory.
[ Inventory ]
1. Cross Wing
2. Minerva
3. Cerberus
4. Corona
5-8. EMPTY ]
' Let's use [ Minerva ] for this one '
"So Altair, what brings you to town? I know a lot people, but this is the first time I've seen someone ride a hefty beast like yours"
"I'm attending Beacon so I'm familiarizing myself with Vale, especially taking note of where the coffee shops are"
Altair said with soft smile on his face. Minerva appeared within his robes. Ready for combat, Altair waited, as both their drinks were given to them. One strawberry sunrise, and one strawberry milk, both with tiny little umbrellas.
"What a coincidence I also going to Beacon. I guess this must be fate then"
With soft smile of her own, Yang took a sip of her drink.
"So what about you? Why did you pick Junior's as the finish line"
"Oh right, I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me"
'Here we go'
With a sigh, Altair gulped down his strawberry milk, and reached for [ Minerva ] in his robes.
"Hey you're Junior right?"
Junior, exhausted, turned to face Yang who had a bright smile, and a mischievous glint on her eyes.
——————————————————————————————————————
Thwack!
The sudden, uninvited appearance of the "Swear Jar" jogged Altair memory.
' I was suppose to ask for my papers for Beacon! Well Cinder used coercion, so maybe I can too '
Ignoring throbbing pain from his skull, Altair hurled the newly spawned "Swear Jar" at the last goon. It connected with a heavy–Thump!–knocking him cold, as the jar remained unbreakable.
Miltia sneered sharply.
"Melanie, who are this two freaks"
"Dunno"
Melanie shrugged,her claws glinting.
"But lets teach them a lesson"
( A/N : not gonna bother with these two )
Yang jumped down from the stage with fresh belt of shells loaded in Ember Celica.
"You take Claws there, 'kay handsome"
Yang shot forward, boosted by Ember Celica, as she shot to shells towards Melanie.
Sigh—
Altair spun [ Minerva ] before pointing it at Miltia.
"I apologize for my actions from this point forward"
BANG! BANG!
Two heavy shots fired from [ Minerva ] as gravity dust bullets headed for Miltia.
Ducking down to dodge, Miltia lunged forward with her claws swiping in front of her. With a backflip, Altair dodged the sharp claws, firing another shot, forcing Miltia to stagger.
"Sorry about this"
With hard heel kick, Miltia chin shot upward, launching her towards the wall.
----
Yang arched backward, dodging Melanie's bladed boots.
BOOM!
A shotgun blast from Ember Celica rocketed her sideways, landing her besides Melanie. Yang unleashed a flurry of punches— Left hook, Right straight, and a jab disoriented Melanie. Stunned, Melanie tried to recover, only to be met by a haymaker straight to the jaw. The force hurled her besides Miltia, breaking the wall—forming spider cracks.
Turning around Yang glanced at Altair, who walked leisurely towards her, with the same soft smile he had.
"Aww, thought I would have you beat in this one"
His head shaking in disapproval, Altair approached Yang, [ Minerva ] still in hands.
"It wouldn't have counted. There was no wager between us"
"Just a friendly competition you know"
Yang puffed her cheeks, her face showing mock annoyance.
BANG!
Altair shot [ Minerva ] besides Yang's face, the bullet almost grazing her, as it passes by colliding with an incoming rocket.
"Apologies, That rocket was faster than I could warn you"
An explosion rang out, its shockwaves shook the club slightly, as air rushed passed Altair and Yang, picking up dust along the way.
"You kids are paying for this!"
Junior emerged from the rubble where Yang sent him flying towards.
Altair didn't react. His face showed true neutrality, not worried nor concerned by Junior's threat.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to pay you sir Junior. You see I'm currently in debt, and I don't have a job"
"Nice one handsome"
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT YOU BRAT!"
"I'm really in debt though. 70 lien to be exact"
Altair said this with the most deadpanned face, one can possibly muster.
' Fuck '
[ Account Balance : -80 Lien ]
The "Swear Jar" appeared above his head, but he grabbed it before it could hit him.
"80 lien now due to the language I uttered in my head"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"HHAHAHAAHHA"
Yang grabbed her stomach laughing. While Junior's vein bulged up, his blood pressure rising.
"THAT'S IT, YOU WON'T BE LEAVING HERE WITHOUT A BEATING!"
With a roar, Junior ran fast heading for Yang and Altair.
"Hey Yang"
"Yep?"
Yang turned to Altair with curiosity written on her face.
"I was going to ask you to dance, but we got into this fight. So can we dance now?"
Altair said calmly. His face turned to her, with eyes showing sincerity, as a calm smile sat on his lips.
Yang was stunned for moment. She didn't really understand it, but when she first met Altair there was something around him she couldn't put her finger on. Something that made her feel serene and relaxed.
The only reason she was pecking his cheeks and teasing him like she knew him for a long time was this strange atmosphere. It made her feel welcomed, like he had a deep connection with her.
With smile on her face, she brought up her hand, the same way she did earlier. But this time, it held more meaning for her.
"I thought you wouldn't ask"
Altair took her hand and brought her closer to him. He tossed her up lightly, as he arched backwards. Dodging the wild swing from Junior's baseball bat. Yang, mid-flip, fired Ember Celica staggering Junior. Altair kicked Junior away, sending him to the center of the dance floor.
Yang glanced at Altair. With a nod Altair caught Yang and tossed her up again. On the air, Yang replaced the shells on her gauntlets, while Altair whipped his leg into a roundhouse kick. Using the kick like a springboard, Yang shot forward, delivering a punch to Junior—who blocked with his bat.
"Nghhhh!"
Junior struggled as the force brought by the rocketed Yang pushed him to use everything just to keep her at bay. The bat suddenly lightened, Yang flipped away.
BANG!
Junior felt the force of a heavy punch on his torso. Junior crumpled, gasping for air, Altair dashed forward, landing in the dance floor.
——— ——— — ————— ——— — ————— ——— — ————— ——— —
(A/N: Last segment of the raid )
Junior stood center-stage on the dance floor, bat trembling. Yang and Altair flanked him—yellow and white blurs ready to strike.
Music suddenly played.
° What do you have in store?
One life away, we can't explore
But I don't want to get in the way no more
'Cause this the type of feeling you can't ignore, ay °
They charged.
Junior swung wildly, desperation fueling his strikes. Altair fired two shots at his ribs—BANG! BANG!—forcing the man to block with his bat. Yang slipped behind, fists shooting foward towards Junior's kidneys. He roared, shoving her back with a wild bat swing.
° I'm ready to break down the door
Settle the score, I can't let you go away
I miss the smile off your face
You know that I lo-lo-lo-love the chase °
Altair lunged forward, elbow jabbing Junior's sternum. Junior crumpled—but not before hurling Altair aside with a desperate heave.
° You told me once that I was crazy
I said, "Baby girl, I know"
But I can't let you go away
So don't you get me started now
I want a yes, I don't want maybes
'Cause they leave me where you found me°
The pair locked eyes. A silent agreement passed between them.
Altair dismissed [ Minerva ], bringing out [ Cross Wing ] unfolding into twin tonfas. Yang's hair ignited gold.
° So don't leave °
The two shot forward, the floor cracking under the force.
° Ooh, I just love the way you got me feeling
And now I can feel it °
They met at the middle.
Altair's tonfas blurred—jabs to joints, sweeps to ankles—while Yang's semblance-fueled fists shattered Junior's guard. When Junior's bat nearly clipped Yang's shoulder, Altair parried it, giving her an opening to uppercut his jaw.
° It's like, ooh
Take away the pain, baby, I'm healing
Baby, I'm healing°
Weaving in and out of the wild swings Junior delivered with strain.
° I don't need anything more
Be the wave, I'll be the shore
Crashing all over me, I want you (fire)°
Junior's aura flickered. A final synchronized kick launched him into the wall beside the unconscious twins.
The club fell silent, save for the crackle of broken neon lights.
Yang grabbed Altair's hand, her grin brighter than her blazing hair.
"Drinks?"
"Still 80 Lien in debt."
"My treat."
They walked out of the club, leaving Junior groaning in the rubble.
' Since when did...trainees hit like trains? '
Junior thought before he passed out. While groans from his men eachoed though the club.

"GASP!!!! EXPLAIN NOW!!!"
Sigh—
