As soon as Gambit realized the danger on his way, he sent himself back to the gates and tried to get beyond the gates in the meantime.

"This is odd", he says while sprinting towards the gate. "I need to get out of here and survey the back doors. I have a feeling that this wasn't where the enemies and those youngsters will come out."

Suddenly.................

"Lord Gambit! Lord Gambit! This way!"

A loud voice was heard by him from a distance.

*scoffs* "Thorin and the others.... Good grief..", he says as the group reached his .

"Lord Gambit, you need to get out of here and postpone the mission. The royal guards and the king are not really here. They evacuated the castle as soon as they discovered that the enemies have joined forces along with the someone in order to take him down. That means that if there are people who are still in the castle, then that would definitely be an enemy and/or impostors in order to lure the king's assassinators away.. The king has now been trasported to another place according to our intel.. There was something going on here bigger than the poison itself.. The reiju is just a small part of what they called civil war. The politics here is crisis which affected the nation for decades... We, the Night Assassins are just third parties who generate income by being hired by the businessmen and politician for years.. As much as possible we don't want any conflicts with them.. The reason why we're telling you this is for you to be safe.. Now, if you really want the poison, we can get it from you..", Thorin says..

"Listen Thorin, I know it's risky but it's an order from my captain. If didn't get that myself, then that would be shameful.. But I would like to take your offer. I want your men to cover the entire area and signal me once the youngsters have gotten out of the castle. Surround them and we shall give them what they deserve... Let us meet near the shore.. That's where we are going to do the assassinations to them.. I am hiring you now Nights.. Don't fail me..", Gambit responded to the Knights with conviction...

"My lord, it is going to be approximately 1 hour before the real battle of the King's army and the opposition party commences. That would be enough time to finish the battle with those two before they even come here..", Thorin's last words before they depart. Boys, let's track those two and send them to the Lord Gambit."

"Aye Sir!!!", a chorus from the Nights..

"Can't wait to see the lord battle in person..", Hector whispered.

While Nero fought one of the assassins, the other two drawed their weapons and prepared to charge at Dabit, they came running at him in a straight row.
"Ugh, so many assassins man, im sick of these guys, how many are you anyway?"

Iron Dabit took his sword out and charged back at the men with a stabbing attack. Since they were running one behind the other, cause of the narrow space of the hallway, when Dabit stabbed the first one, the second one fell into the trap, running into the blade coming out of the assassins back. Both men had been spiked by Bit´s blade. The revolutionary pulled his sword back and the opponents fell to the ground.

Dabit check on Nero to see how he was doing, but all he could watch was Nero´s attacker dropped dead on the floor. Dabit wasn´t really surprised at this point, since he had already acknowledged Nero as a strong fighter.

"Kuso!! This guys are everywhere! Nero, once we get out of here, we should rendezvous in the city sewers, i have a friend with a safe place there. Plus, being on the underground and having water run through it makes it perfect to cover our tracks. Keep that in mind in case we have to separate"

Having dealt with the threat and roughly managing an escape plan, Dabit kept walking through the big hallway and into the gate, it was time to depart the Fortuna Castle.

Nero watched as the castle and to disappeare back into the existing gate. He couldn't remember, but something told him he'd never disliked someone so strongly as that king of that kingdom. He was surprised by how much he truly hating this king. He really, really hate him. killing innocent lives for the sake of his own goal, something Nero can't forgive, never.

"Okay let's go" he replied Dabit and decide to go outside of the castle for good

They snuck their way through the dead knights and assassins bodies, Nero almost tripping several times. He stepped on someone’s hand, earning hate for that pointless deaths. "This place getting just dirty" he whispered

Once they left the whole area and stepped onto the hard gray stone of the courtyard floor, Nero broke into a run, heading for the western wall. Where the main exit gate can be found.

Nero looked at the existing gate and start talking "Well, it's kind of stupid to send me to a place where nothing makes sense and no one even gave me the entire information about this place." Nero paused, surprised at himself. "They're a demon" he added, throwing all the sarcasm he could into the syllable.

Nero stepped outside the exit gate which directly lead him to the outside of the castle, "Finally"

In the vast desert under the afternoon sky with the sun about to set and the moon about to be apparent, Aragorn is standing against the Castle, holding a telescope and observing its huge front gate. Its lens are intermitently being covered by dust and sands which makes it even harder to survey the location. These minuscule substances are irritating his nose, as he has a lesser nostrils, so that, he keeps on sneezing like a sneezing machine. Notwithstanding, he is able to stand still and waits for a perfect timing, until...

Aragorn: "Looks like we got them Sir! We got them. Two people are heading this way and they apparently are rushing. Nobody follows them."
Thorin: "Ok! We got coordinates. Demographics?"
Aragorn: "The first one, about 1.79m tall; average built; good looking; black hair; in his teenage years I suppose; dammit! This one's a child!", says in awe. "Holsters a gun"
Thorin looked straight at him and asks, "A mere child, you said? and a Gunner? Perfection."
Aragorn: "Indeed"
Thorin: "And the other?"
Aragorn: "A beast sire. With Wings."
Thorin: "A sky-boy. And that's all?".
Aragorn: "Nothing more remarkable sire aside from his weird nose. It's steel. Looks like this one's a part-cyborg"
Thorin: "I don't know what to say, anyting weirder than the lord himself? Uhmm, Hector, tell Lord Gambit that we got intel and we shall lure them against their pathway and direct them here by force.. Everyone listen.. 1st and 2nd Units in the right flank. Chase the targets from their southeast. 3rd and 4th units, you follow me as we chase from their behind. 5th and 6th units, you guys go in their left and trap them while moving across. Lastly, 7th and 8th units, you will serve as their guide as you will march in front of the targets and send them here to the Lord."
Everyone: "Aye!"

All 8 units of the Nights Assassins have marched towards the castle as ordered by their leader, leaving behind their wake a bountiful amount of dust which spirals around the scene. An epic march that aims to trap the two young souls before they are punished by the devil himself.
Few meters away from where Aragorn ordered his men, a man in black standing facing the sunset in the east. His wavy shoulder-leveled hair and tux are dancing with the melody of the desert wind while his cigar is slowly fading its ember. The infamous pirate who's always in his black boots and black leather belt which holsters several decks of metal cards and a jutte.. He turned around as he felt someone behind him.. "Anything I can do for you Hector?", he asked his follower as his diamond emblem in his forehead beams..

Hector excitingly and blushingly responded, "My lord, they have come."
Gambit ticked his cigar butt before he lighted another one. His face are somewhat glowing in the dark and Hector just saw how horrifying this man will be when he's about to battle..

"Enjoy the programme, Hector.. Eyes on me while I destroy these fools who tried to interfere with my mission."

And after a several steps away from Hector, he utters, "Get ready to falter!! This shall be your punishment."

As Dabit and Nero advanced through the outskirts of the Fortuna Castle, they both realized they were surrounded. A group of assasins from theire left and another to their right, and even from behind them.
"No time to stall with this fodder, we gotta push through" said Iron Dabit as he kept running forward, his only wish was to get out of that place, and fullfill his mission.

Bit kept pressing forward, and he realized the assasins were following them along, but not really attacking, as if they were just trying to guide them somewhere... (Something´s wrong, this is a trap), the revolutionary had the realization of a bigger danger, he stopped in his tracks, signaling Nero to do the same, but it was already too late, and the men were surrounded.

"Get ready to falter!! This shall be your punishment."

The feeling of irony overcame Dabit, as he realized they just fell into the enemy´s trap, with nothing to do but man up. Face the opponent standing in front of him, a man standing out in between the assasins, he had a slim contexture, shoulder levelled dark hair, a red diamond on his forehead and red devilish eyes. The man seemed pure evil to Dabit, yet he wasn't scared, no fear would strike a man that was on the path of freedom.

Instead of fear, Dabit was amused by the irony of the situation, and there was no point in trying to hide his presence anymore, so he played a tune with his den den mushi, preparing his mind for an upcomming battle, he adressed the evil looking man

Spoiler: Battle theme

"Oi Diamond bastard,
I will not falter.
My body is armored,
and my friend is angry.
So let us pass now,
Or i'll make you drowsy."

While Iron Dabit was rapping his heart out, he took out his poisoned flavor dial, activated it and threw it at his enemy, creating a toxic poison cloud around his opponent and the assasins sorrounding him.

Spoiler: Poison Flavor Dial

As Nero and Dabit come outside from the boundaries of Fortuna castle, Nero and Dabit notice that they're surrounded by the group of assassins with there leader. They were everywhere, covering right, left, front and back path, which left no place for Nero and Dabit to escape. Nero and Dabit kept press forward realizing that other assassins were following them along, without attacking them which lead Nero to believe that they're trying to lead Nero and Dabit somewhere. Then Nero and Dabit stopped realizing now they don't have any place to escape

"Get ready to falter!! This shall be your punishment."

Those words give the impression that this guy is not in the mood that going to leave Nero and dabit without a fight. Nero let out smile thinking that he and Dabit now directly in this enemy trap with nowhere to escape. The man who uttered those words is a slim, yet muscular man with shoulder-leveled dark hair. He has a diamond-shaped emblem on his forehead and his eyes resemble the eyes of a devil.

He just didn’t get it; his brain was on overload trying to compute the sheer impossibility of the situation. How could an assassin, with swords and knives so sharp, Nero don't understand why they're following him that badly? Why this man is here? And more importantly, why? What could possibly be the purpose of such a thing? Why did they all come with so many people? How long had they following him and Dabit?

Try as he might avoid it, his mind still kept wandering back to the image of the odd situation. he blinked or rubbed his eyes, he was exhausted and needed to rest.

Nero looked at the man again and whisper, "The Gambit" hoping the time for answers had come —or maybe hoping for a distraction from his gloomy thoughts. "Why you are here?" he said, hoping to avoid provoking the temper he'd seen a flare in this guy eyes.

"You're Landayan Morow, aren't you? member of the silver hair pirates... I have heard about you and your crew after becoming a bounty hunter"

Nero felt dizzy. So many questions splintered his mind he couldn't keep them straight. But more importantly, he needs to leave first so he shrugged towards Gambit. "Sorry, I have no time to take care of you."

Dabit who was standing beside Nero all this time played a tune with his den den mushi, which felt like that he's trying to prepare his mind for an upcoming battle, he addressed the Gambit with

"Oi Diamond bastard,
I will not falter.
My body is armored,
and my friend is angry.
So let us pass now,
Or i'll make you drowsy."

Dabit was rapping his heart out, he took out his poisoned flavor dial, activated it and threw it at his enemy, creating a toxic poison cloud around his opponent and the assassins surrounding him.

Gambit nodded at his fandom and hand over a bag of beri as settlement for what they've accomplished.. He looks at Thorin and winks before scans the two young man who have just arrived like rodents in dark room full of felines with claws newly sharpened... And as he threatened them, the kid and bigger scum responded to him..

Nero looked at the man again and whisper, "The Gambit" hoping the time for answers had come —or maybe hoping for a distraction from his gloomy thoughts. "Why you are here?" he said, hoping to avoid provoking the temper he'd seen a flare in this guy eyes.

"You're Landayan Morow, aren't you? member of the silver hair pirates... I have heard about you and your crew after becoming a bounty hunter"

Nero felt dizzy. So many questions splintered his mind he couldn't keep them straight. But more importantly, he needs to leave first so he shrugged towards Gambit. "Sorry, I have no time to take care of you."

"Indeed, I am.. Guess we're pretty famous kiddo.. Why? You wanna take my head bounty boy? Go ahead and take it. And no! Nobody's leaving this place. Hamdover the effectus!"

And suddenly, the other guy butted in..

"Oi Diamond bastard,
I will not falter.
My body is armored,
and my friend is angry.
So let us pass now,
Or i'll make you drowsy."

The devil himself grins at the cyborg and says, "Ooooh! Some punk talking to me like he has got enough balls to cock me just because he's metal. Ehehehe, I will show you what a metal should be like.. But don't get me wrong, I kinda like you."

And whilst he speaks, the metal guy suddenly draws a familiar weapon..

Eh? What's that he's up with now? It looks exactly the same as our Perv Scientist's dial.. Could it be...... Po-Po-Poison?? As he processes this idea, Dabit launches it towards him, bursting a cloud of good shits around the weaker Night Assassins - coughing like enjoying the joints they're currently smoking.. Meanwhile, Hector, Aragorn, and Thorin were all able to get away in time and Gambit, with his sonic speed, managed to easily see it coming, so that, he dashes towards the enemies themselves; aiming to pass through them and appear in their behinds.. He is just standing there, looking at the castle and ordered his fandom to keep their distance... And then he face the two bastards again, "I am never a fan of those tricks.. It pisses me off.. And now that I do, what do think will happen next??".. Pausing briefly with his arrogant speech, he pointed his index finger at them asking, "Tell me.. What are your desires? You showed up here trying to loot exactly the same as I, don't you? Hehehe.. If you will only hand it over to me, then I suppose, both of you shall have their freedom. Come back to me when you are more capable. This offer shall only be given once. So?"

Waiting for his enemies' response, the wind of the vast desert blows touching Gambit's back first. Still looking at the two, he thought that he was once as young as them and it's never easy facing tough opponents even in double team.. He wants to seize the moment..

"Let's fight over it, right? It's what we all desire.."

Gambit reaches out his back and momentarily thought of using his jutte but then he realized that the fun has just started so why kill it.. "Here I come bastards!!"

He charges swiftly towards the cyborg and delivers a deadly right straight towards his face...

"Ooooh! Some punk talking to me like he has got enough balls to cock me just because he's metal. Ehehehe, I will show you what a metal should be like.. But don't get me wrong, I kinda like you."

Iron Dabit was amused by the attitude of the evil man, he certainly appeared to be the villain of the movie, he looks like it and acts like it. Ever since his recruitment on the Revolutionary Army, he hadn´t faced an Evil like this. The presence and the vibe of the man were that of a monster, who knows what kind of attrocities he´s done before. As for his name, it didn´t ring a bell to Bit, he wasn´t that much interested in pirates as he is to the WG, whom he considers an enemy.

"A pirate huh? No wonder it started to smell scummy around here"

The poisoned flavor Dial kept releasing the toxin on the assasins, making some of them cough uncontrollably, others even passed out. Yet the numbers were still in their favor. Nero and Dabit were outnumbered, yet standing one next to the other, fear wouldn´t strike them.

"Tell me.. What are your desires? You showed up here trying to loot exactly the same as I, don't you? Hehehe.. If you will only hand it over to me, then I suppose, both of you shall have their freedom. Come back to me when you are more capable. This offer shall only be given once. So?"

"Let's fight over it, right? It's what we all desire.."

A gust of wind passed through, carrying hot sand with it. Dabit grinned as he endured the air draft, but he couldn´t hear well what the pirate was saying. And he wasn´t gonna reveal details of his mission to some scumbag pirate anyway. Iron Dabit knew this was about the loot that costed so much effort.

He charges swiftly towards the cyborg and delivers a deadly right straight towards his face...

Spoiler: Face durability

Durability: 41 = Large Building Level + Armor platted mask (+1 Dura)= City Block Level

Dabit turned his look to right, forced by the strenght of the punch, although it wasn´t enough to knock him down, the power of the punch did resonated on the cyborg´s armor platting. The bitter sweet taste of blood on his mouth woke him into battle mode.

The musical den den mushi kept playing it´s battle tune, as the confrontation started heating up, the beat´s grin widened as the thrill of the battle overcame him:

Spoiler: Battle theme

"Pirate iaro, Kono iaro,
What u want i don´t know.
Stopping cutting my flow,
Is this your best blow?
Cause i won´t let u go."

Keeping his cool and remembering his revolutionary combat training, Dabit stabbed his sword to ground while aiming for Gambit right foot, the one closer to him, if he managed to stab his foot to the ground, he might be able to slow him down.

"Now NEROOOO" Dabit signaled Nero to attack, use the opening created by the opponent to counter his superior speed. He wouldn´t be able to hold much long.

"Let's fight over it, right? It's what we all desire.."

Really a self-righteous man, he knows all the tone, his attitude, his unreasonable style, all make Nero angry.

That disturbed Nero even more than not knowing some of the words Gambit kept saying—words like effects and poison—that didn't sound so good. He came as close to knowing all the truth, but willed his mouth shut. Frustrated, he turned his attention to the Gambit once again, as Nero gave him look that may felt like just how much he despises his current situation and want to end it.

In the face of this ridiculous tone, Nero couldn't help but clench his right fist,

"Sorry... I won't give it to you." Saying, Nero decide to took out his sword called red queen from his back with his right hand, and showed the sword to gambit with the passion of fighting him. Nero expression was slightly tight.

It's this attitude of despising people. Nero snorted and set up the sword: "Let me be a kid... don't be too light!"

Gambit charges swiftly towards the Dabit and delivers a deadly right straight towards his face... But in mere moment dabit turn to look at his right forced by the strength of the punch But it wasn´t enough to knock Dabit down, that guy is hard to deal with. Dabit musical den den mushi kept playing it´s the battle tune, as the situation started heating up, the Dabit´s grin widened as the thrill of the battle overcame him

"Pirate iaro, Kono iaro,
What u want i don´t know.
Stopping cutting my flow,
Is this your best blow?
Cause i won´t let u go."

Keeping his cool and remembering his revolutionary combat training, Dabit stabbed his sword to ground while aiming for Gambit right foot, the one closer to him, if he managed to stab his foot to the ground, he might be able to slow him down.

"Now NEROOOO" Dabit signaled Nero to attack, use the opening created by the opponent to counter his superior speed. He wouldn´t be able to hold much long.

In order not to let the Gambit make his move again, Nero seizes the moment and quickly leaped his right foot with all strength. Then straight up and speed up in Gambit direction, Nero sword technique achieved by keeping the body low and bent forward while placing the sword in a parallel manner to Nero's right leg and then drawing the sword back. A charge-type skill that allows Nero to close a distance of about 8-10 meters in nearly an instant and consists of an upward slash from the right.

Gambit charges to the cyborg like a beautiful projectile leaving in his wake a spiraling helix of sands and dust. As he draws near the target, he launches a right straight onto his face and manages to land it; however, the man's face is made of metal, shaking the punch off like it was nothing to him.

"Pirate iaro, Kono iaro,
What u want i don´t know.
Stopping cutting my flow,
Is this your best blow?
Cause i won´t let u go."

Keeping his cool and remembering his revolutionary combat training, Dabit stabbed his sword to ground while aiming for Gambit right foot, the one closer to him, if he managed to stab his foot to the ground, he might be able to slow him down.

Looking closely at his opponent who grins like a demon servant of the Devil, enjoying the loop hole of torture he was bestowing upon him, he suddenly utters some words trying to mock his strength and draws a sword before pinning it down to the ground aiming at the Devil's right foot.

In his peripheral view, the bounty hunter seems waiting for his comrade's signal for an opening while preparing an apparent upward slash using his sword from a distance.

Seeing both, Gambit quickly dashes backwards from Dabit together with the beautiful formation of sands before his sword could even touch his foot; and leaving Nero's attack hitting the air..

"Too slow! Hehe", he says while he chuckles like a demon successfully manipulating his pawn. "But it seems you love the art of swords. I don't have one but certainly my fists would be enough to punish you both. C'mon, it's your turn to initiate the attack. Preposterous human beings..."

The opponent managed to avoid the double attack thanks to his speed. As the evil man dashed backwards, Dabit heard him utter some words, taunting him into rushing in.

"it seems you love the art of swords. I don't have one but certainly my fists would be enough to punish you both. C'mon, it's your turn to initiate the attack. Preposterous human beings..."

His cyborg mentality and his Revolutionary training had taught him not to give in to taunting so easily, the art of prevailing in battle requires strategizing, specially on a underwhelming situation like the one our heroes had encountered.

Dabit gave Nero a look, and he whispered to his partner "Oi Nero, i´ll try to pin him down so you can strike in the right moment"

Turning his sight once again towards Gambit the pirate, Iron Dabit gave him the Iron look. Another gust of sandy wind went by, making a whooosh sound with it. The moment was tense as the men faced the dangers of a deadly fortune.

Yet our hero didn´t feared, he didn´t stepped back, he knew what he had to do to get his mission done, another sense of thrive overcame him as he adrressed the Evil Pirate:
"Don´t tell me what to do,
cause i didn´t ask you.
Im more than just a sword,
and you´re gonna get floored.
Get ready for the bombing,
you devil in the crumbling"

While pronouncing his rhyme diss, Iron Dabit deployed his cyborg destruction weapon, the Grenade Launcher! Inmediately fired at the Gambit with a a single-shot, 40 mm grenade.

Seeing both Nero and Dabit, Gambit quickly decides to rush backward from debit together with the formation of sands before Dabit sword could connect to Gambit foot, and Leaving Nero's attack hitting the air.

"Too slow! Hehe", he says while he chuckles like a demon successfully manipulating his pawn. "But it seems you love the art of swords. I don't have one but certainly my fists would be enough to punish you both. C'mon, it's your turn to initiate the attack. Preposterous human beings..."

"...!"

Nero stabbed his sword into the ground to stop his movement and jumped and tried to avoid getting fall into the ground. Nero felt that he couldn't avoid it in the air. Nero quickly turned the Gambit side and formed a fighting position with his sword.

Nero felt as if he making fun of them, Gambit didn't take immediate action when he found an opening for both Dabit and Nero but was trying to mock them.

"……what's so funny!"

Nero couldn't help but ask, In the meantime, Dabit gave Nero a look, and he whispered to him "Oi Nero, I´ll try to pin him down so you can strike in the right moment"

He said so, but it is easy as it seems? Nero decides to focus on this fight completely: It seems Gambit didn't like to sneak attack, so he didn't take the opportunity to hit.

Nero laughed: "You'd better stay away."

Nero did not care to remind him that with the character of the guy, even if he let him go, he would not be obedient, as Nero expected

Yet our hero didn´t feared, he didn´t stepped back, he knew what he had to do to get his mission done, another sense of thrive overcame him as he adrressed the Evil Pirate:
"Don´t tell me what to do,
cause i didn´t ask you.
Im more than just a sword,
and you´re gonna get floored.
Get ready for the Gatling,
you devil in the crumbling"

While pronouncing his rhyme diss, Iron Dabit deployed his cyborg destruction weapon, the Gatling Gun! Inmediately started firing at the Gambit with a fire rate of 400 rounds per minute, each of them .50 caliber.

then the bullets about embedded in the Gambit direction. A violent explosion. "Oh oh...!?"

"Disaster Harbor Bird" Nero yelled his attack name, his words echoed in the atmosphere as he couldn't let the opportunity like that go so he decides to attack gambit from the side as he lunches himself with all his strength while holding his sword making a crescent moon-like projectile of compressed air towards his opponent with the great speed (31 Mastery, 21 Strength)DPR: C

Gambit successfully evaded both attacks coming from the two sturdy young men. And as he drew farther from them, it appears that the game will finally commence.

*** Not too far from the scene ***
The Night Assassins are currently drinking bottled wines and beers while enjoying the circumstances surrounding the three warriors. The sky is slowly kissing away the sunshine as it is pulling the darkness involved. A mixture of cold and humid breeze blow around them which implies a more dangerous impalement ahead..

Hector and Thorin say in chorus, "Looks like the Lord is enjoying this fight, isn't he? Kyahahahaha!!!"

Aragorn responds, "Truly! I can't believe I get to watch this one of a lifetime fight.. My Lord should be honoured to bestow upon them what they deserve for their disobedience.. Yahahahaha! Die bastards! Die!"

Altogether: "Kampai!!!"

*** Back to the fight ***

Gambit stands strongly like a century-old oak tree, unharmed and still in a mint condition. He senses the resilience and sturdiness of both young men facing him who try to prove their resolve. Anticipating the imminent and inexorable trial, he concentrates and released his emotions in harmony with the squal of the nature which gusts towards his opponents, too.

Dabit gave Nero a look, and he whispered to his partner "Oi Nero, i´ll try to pin him down so you can strike in the right moment"

Hmm. They're up to something. Very well, let's see what they came up with.

Shortly after whispering some strategy with his partner, the cyborg reverted to Gambit and displayed his resilience once again.

Is that a launcher?, he thought as the cyborg mustered another destructive weapon, a launcher firing at him straight away with an average speed. But using his Supersonic Speed, Gambit evades every single bullets while severing some using both of his arms flexed across his chest as his defense. Notwithstanding this, the bounty hunter manages to sneak in his radius while launching a crescent moon-like projectile of compressed air towards him..

Shit!! It will hit me, he thought as he He heard a screeching sound of the attack which landed directly at his body which sent him flying a short distance away from the gatling gun and Nero. Argh! Dammit! How could I got caught of that.. It is something similar to one of my attacks but with lesser force. He thought while rising on his feet and shrugging off the dusts and sands he caught upon the fall. Gambit could smell all the metals including the bloodlust both attacks have incurred onto him.

"Impressive, I must say", he says while clapping slowly. You guys will have given me quite a harder time by the time I ended your lives.. Well, looks like I should be the one doing the initiatives, eh?.. Now if you may, who do you think I should propel to? Oh you, bounty hunter, hello! After all, you're the one who managed to give me a tingling sensation. I was aroused.."

Gambit kicks off and rushes towards Nero, slightly clenches his right fist, flexes against his chest, while simultaneously evading the bullets coming from the gatling gun. Upon reaching closer to him, Gambit pulls his right fist and delivers a right cross onto the face of Nero.

"Let's see if you can also handle this CHILD!!!!!", he mockingly says to Nero.

The grenade kept it´s course, bursting an explosion like in a Rambo movie. The grenade made a whistling sound while airborne before ending on a boom. But the pirate Gambit was an agile man, agile enough to dodge the 40 mm grenade fire from the cyborg´`s Grenade Launcher. Yet even though Gambit had enough reaction to dodge the grenade, his subbordinates did not. As the exploding munition flew past the evil Gambit, it impacted on the night assassins standing behind him.

The night assasins were numerous group, their number superiority had been such to create a surrounding circle around Dabit, Nero and Gambit. The circle was roughly 25 meters in diameter, enough fighting space for our heroes. But those poor asassins standing behind the Gambit were unlucky, and they got massacred by the Grenade Launcher´s canon fire. Around 5 6 men dropped dead, and many more got injured in the Cyborg`s rampage.

Gambit kicks off and rushes towards Nero, slightly clenches his right fist, flexes against his chest, while simultaneously evading the bullets coming from the gatling gun. Upon reaching closer to him, Gambit pulls his right fist and delivers a right cross onto the face of Nero.

"Let's see if you can also handle this CHILD!!!!!", he mockingly says to Nero.

The Gambit`s superior speed made Dabit almost impossible to hit him while he is moving. Yet by his previuos taunting words, he realized his next attack was gonna be agauinst Nero.
(Speedy bastard, he is going after Nero this time... I can`t hit him while he is rushing towards Nero, but is can hit him when he gets there)

"We`ve hit you once,
and we`ll do it twice.

Gambit kicks off and rushes towards Nero, slightly clenches his right fist, flexes against his chest, while simultaneously evading the bullets coming from the gatling gun. Upon reaching closer to him, Gambit pulls his right fist and delivers a right cross onto the face of Nero.

"Let's see if you can also handle this CHILD!!!!!", he mockingly says to Nero.

Feeling danger of the sensation, Nero instinctively used his sword surface to block Gambit fist which was meant for Nero's face, Nero was tightly holding the sword with his right arm while covering the other his face front sword surface with his left arm to make blocking more successful. When Gambit attack connects with Nero sword surface Nero instantly realizes the strength of the Gambit, it was undoubtedly way stronger than Nero strength and Nero fell back.

"Huff... Huff... I am not a kid!" There was stillness on all sides. If Nero hatred was visible the air would have been scarlet. Those sudden movements, so much force in every blow.

"We`ve hit you once,
and we`ll do it twice.
Evil pirate,just get sliced,
It`s time to visit paradise.
36 Earthly Desires"

Iron Dabit held his sword horizontally above his shoulder, and then performed a circular swing that launched an air compressed projectile spiraling towards Nero`s side, were Gambit was punching the bounty hunter.

Dabit was performing his attack against the Gambit, Nero starting to feel that his strength to hold the fight was weakened a now.

When Gambit mocked Nero before punching him there was no expression of a bit of sorrow, but he was mocking Nero, showing the difference between the power level. Can I really defeat this man to move on, my heart is full of uneasiness, I want to get stronger, and now I am willing, but it is not enough. Even so, there are still insurgent opponents in front of me, how can I be good. Want to admit defeat? Still knowing that it will be defeated, but still fighting? I want strength, I want more power, and the power is not enough now.

"I want more power...!" Nero clenched his right hand and showing his burning red eyes. Demon in his heart was echoing for more power.

In the past, Nero had endured the pain and suffering of having lost the only one who accepted him, Nero friends lost their parents because of the lack of power they had. But in the depth of that darkness, he had become confused about what path to go down as time goes Nero start to become obsessed with power. He starting to lost the sight of what is important. It going to take a very long time to be able to understand again and accept that, but Nero truly felt it now is the rage, A burning rage that asking for more power and he'll choose any path for it as long as he can protect what's important. He felt the changes in the world as well.

He did all that in time, Nero was beginning to feel rage as he screams "HELLFIRE!!!" Nero Immediately kicked against the ground with all his strength he had, in order to connect his attack to Gambit with Dabit, Nero was holding his sword in his left arm with his right hand gripping his left wrist for support.

"Child? Well... if that's how you see me, I think you'll blush a pretty pink when I kick your ass!" Nero said while about to connect his attack to Gambit, after listening to Nero, what expression this man could show?

The Night Assassins are still forming a cirle surrounding the battle frontier; cherishing every moment of excitement as the man they patronize lines up in the field. Although they knew from the very beginning what conclusion this fight will have had in the end, seeing it with their bold eyes will never be better. Until, the cyborg indirectly fires at them using that launcher which then injured some of them and killing a few. With this, Thorin quickly ordered to abort the circle and look for a safer place but not too far from the scene.

Back to the Gambit, he successfully landed a right cross to Nero only to hit his sword which was drawn by him out of extreme fear. Gambit could see it in the kid's eyes how frightened he was standing in front of the Devil who continously walks towards him while he was falling back and says, "Yes, you are a kid undoubtedly. Hahahaha. And you seek more power? I will show you what power you are seeking, kid!"

He moves closer to the kid and tries to stroke his sword up and down, scrutinizing it. "What's wrong mijo? Wetting your pants? Hehehehe. Get back in, you spoiled brat! Lemme have you taste the wine of despair."

And so the kid gets back on his stance and yells 'Hell Fire!', rises up in the air and grips his sword firmly, launching another familiar attack towards Gambit. Air Slash, eh? Gambit likes! Dangerous!, he thought while another projectile is coming across; but this time, coming from the cyborg.

He grins and stayed on his guard strengthening his leg for support and crossed his arms. So you wanted me to be trapped in between of two air slashes? These f*cking kids know their turf. But I want to quantify how much strength these two are capable of. I want to taste them through blood. "C'mon!!", he shouted.

[Wind whistle crescendos] Swoooooosh as the two air slashes connected to him which made him fall on his knees bleeding a little with two tiny shallow cuts on his both arms which blocks the attacks.

[Grunts] "Ugh. Huff. Huff. Well kids, that's all you got?

For a brief moment, Gambit realized that these kids are stronger than he once was their age.. He admires them and he thinks that it's only goddamn right to help them evolve even more through a brute force..

"My turn, isn't it?" Gambit stood up and brushed his hair up before he unleashed his energy, casting away a gust of wind throughout the surface which scatters across the sands. As he lights a cigar, he tells to the two kids, "One thing about the New World where you're headed at. The one who possessed a much greater dream or determination, shall always win. And in this circumstance, it's gonna be me! There's no turning back. No holding back.. You two earned my respect and so, consider this gift of mine. The devil's deal.."

The devil himself dashes towards Nero and launches a barrage of 5 punches to his body, sweep-kicks his feet for him to fell over, spins rapidly to deliver an upward kick to the chin to send him mid-air, and swiftly draws a single metal card for the finishing blow. The pirate holds it down-low while slightly ducking in for him to create more force and space before swinging it upwards onto Nero, which then releases a deadly crescent moon-shaped air slash, slicing through the ground several meters below rising up together with the sands and dusts.

Dabit was really shocked at watching the Gambit just taking both attacks head on. It sure was an impressive sight to see someone enjoying the thrill of the battle to the maximum, a concept Dabit had familiarized himself very well too, since he always enjoyed his fights, even laguhed at the blood loss. As the Gambit tanked both attacks, a chill passed down the cyborg´s spine, he realized that if a double attack of both his and Nero´s higher ranked techniques wasn´t enough to take him down, then this enemy was gonna be way out of their league. Iron Dabit realized this might be the day he dies. (i just might die here, buakaka, curse my weakness for it, then so be it).

After that, Gambit dashed towards Nero and unleashed a fierce combo of punches and kicks, sending him flying in the air and finished by drawing a sort of metal card and swung upwards at Nero. Iron Dabit cursed the hour, as his partner was getting smashed by the evil pirate, he drew closer and closer to them, trying to sneak behind the Gambit while he was amused pounding on Nero.

By the time Gambit swung his metal card at Nero, Dabit was at a 1 meter distance from the pirate´s position, who was probably already becoming aware of Dabit´s movements. Dabit had to act quickly, and he had to act strongly. So he reached for his Flame Dial, pointed it at the Gambit and activated it, unleashing a fire cone attack at the pirate.

Flame Dial
Requires 31 Mastery
Allows the user to store fire. Mastery/10= is the amount of attacks the user can store. Each attack is a cone attack with destructive rank: B

The heat from the cone flames was very intense, Dabit was sweating even though he was a cyborg man, he could feel the strong fire burning out of his Dial, and he was only glad not to be on the wrong side of the Dial. The Fortuna desert was lit by the sight of a raging fire. While the flames still burned hot, The Beat adressed his enemy:
"Oi Diamond bastard,
Now im angered.
You killed my partner,
you´re just a coward.
i´ll make you learn,
go to hell, time to burn."

When Gambit himself speed up at Nero direction. Nero thought the process wasn't even able to comprehend either the movement or his actions. The pain from the barrage of blows that Nero received caught him badly, all that was left the blood that had coughed from Nero's mouth flowed The bright red color of crimson

With the upward kick to the chin that sends Nero mid-air, blood tastes bitter, leaking around his teeth and over freshly cold lips, escaping as if it never knew it was welcome to stay. The bleeding continues, wine red in the bright evening. Nero wishes it would stop; he needs it to stop; perhaps this time will be the last.

His eyes, which had been moving about in many directions as he lost forget how to do things. Perhaps it was the end, Nero did not have the chance turned around once, and though he could not tell, it could have been to confirm if he could really stand up to this man. Same as his young self, which never able to reach what was important, except a slightly different shade, and the only rage were left to see.

Gambit didn't just stop there he also draws a metal card for the to finish off Nero. But, well, it was just a dream. A meaningless dream. Nero already can’t keep up with that man. The echoes in his ears have disappeared too. And then a release of a deadly crescent moon-shaped air slash connected to Nero sword which he was holding in his right arm tightly, the attack escaping Nero sword blocking it cut through his dark blue jacket to his dark crimson shirt

In the face of this state of affairs, Gambit still seems to smiles and does not change. No matter how much effort is made, I have no way to break this smile.

Meanwhile, Dabit was still read to fight Gambit as he made his act quickly. As he reached for his Flame Dial, pointed it at the Gambit and activated it, to unleash a fire cone attack at the Gambit.

Beyond the scene created by the beauty of nature was what seemed to be an area for training facilities if not a battlefield.

"Huff... Go to hell...!" Nero said, after receiving Gambit so many attacks continuously Nero could not help but let out a painful expression.

"Huff... Huff... What is this expression? What Dream? I do not need your respect" Nero will look away from the Gambit in exhaustion: "...you are not serious at all."

Nero said, although I don't want to admit it, I don't want to admit it. I know it very well. This guy will take what he wants:

"I want to kill you... but you didn't want to kill me?" Slowly Nero tried to get up but quickly realized how futile it was when he had to bite his lip to keep from pain. A sharp pain lanced through his head and colorful spots flashed in front of his eyes, it felt like his whole body had been trying to give up one him and every movement caused some muscle or bone to ache.

Putting on an amicable smile, Nero looked at Gambit as he slowly started getting up.

I can't win that guy. After acknowledging his ability, I can't say any excuses. I can only do what he wants. Anyway, I can't win the man. But even so, even if I agree with him, I don't want others to get hurt. I have a strong unease about losing all of this.

"Ahh... Even if this is the case... I need it... I..." Nero whispered, he needs this antidote in order to complete his task, he needs that in order to save people from death.

"Oi Diamond bastard,
Now I'm angered.
You killed my partner,
you´re just a coward.
i´ll make you learn,
go to hell, time to burn."

Listening to the Dabit rap, Nero couldn't help but laugh and say "I'm not dead "

Nero couldn't sustain but fight more and more against his current situation as he immediately took out his Gun recognized as Blue Rose to fire a bullet at the Gambit "Up until now what I did, I don't want all this to go waste... Ugh..."

"Not now... Huff... Huff" His right arm ached. No matter how he moved his arm, it was pointless the pain in Nero right arm still felt like it was eaten by the worm. The tortured seems not going down.

"Guh... Ga, gwa...hh!!"

Nero can't hold his scream anymore, his right-hand condition becoming worse, holding back the pain is almost becoming impossible. The much he was trying to hold back the pain the more he suffered. When his hand tore and pain starts killing him...

Breathing roughly Nero says: "Guh... Huff. Hh... Wh..y. this ... pain not going down... hh"

The tempest of the pain refused to calm down, it took Nero sometime before recovering his ability to think and get a grasp of the situation as he instantly fired his gun at Gambit to back up Dabit as Nero glared coldly as he shouted in agony "I'll make you sumbit... Gambit"

Gambit felt the connection of his strikes onto the body of the kid bounty hunter. It felt like punching a cushion and kicking a hen laying eggs before cutting off its head. However, the kid had some luck in his back as he was able to react to the Crescent Moon by catching the slash with his sword, lessening the damage incurred. He fell down and almost uttered his last words and last breath but he was determined - as determined as he once was when was still training under the General's army in his birthplace. He wouldn't mind dying for the sake of triumph that was long before intangible. He rose up and challenged the devil once more pointing a gun at him at point-blank range, trying to hit him at his face.

Meanwhile, the ugly cyborg was also persistent in taking down the devil as he gradually approached and assisted his partner with some elemental tricks. He drew a dial and launched a burst of flame towards his location at point-blank range, too.

Gambit will already be caught in between of the two attacks and will probably suffer some deep shit if he wouldn't be able to dodge in time. However, he has already tested the depths of the water and smelled their bloodlust during the first connection of attacks; meaning, he is certain that he can also withstand these two incoming attacks.

Better be more certain; those attacks look more powerful than the previous combination they had. Very well, lemme check if this would be enough. He thought before blocking with his bare arms both gunfire and formation of flames coming across his path. There was an explosion right where Gambit is setting his feet and he was covered in thick smokes and fire. It took 5 seconds until the flame has vanished and there you can see a trace in the sands of Gambit's feet being dragged away from his previous position; still standing tall away from the two but on his right arm, emerged a hole coming from the gunshot and his clothes were all toasted leaving only his thighs partially covered. He ripped off his shirt and threw it away to his right side. As pissed as he appeared, he spoke in a very deep tone, "You almost got me there." He spits blood on the ground and reached out for his Jutte. A weapon he used to annihilate scums. It is made of metal and only being wielded by the strongest. "So you love playing with flames? You should have asked me so that I would have known what toy to lend to you."

He then starts twirling it like a propeller, faster and faster until it totally catches flames. The entire area became hotter and it felt like no more oxygen is passing by. Gambit's perfect body is sweating like a man who had just finished making love with his wife.

"This is gonna be the end of the line for you two rats." He rushed towards the two as fast as he could and appeared in front of them in just a blink of an eye, harnessing all his rage before he delivers multiple thrusts to both Dabit and Nero while shouting the name of the attack, GUNS N' ROSES!!. Every strike releases a compressed blast of air mixed with the flames created by his former motion...

The pirate´s onslaught carried on, the enemy was still going at our two young heroes. In the heat of the moment, Dabit thought to himself: (Kuso, he is comming at us with full force, this is gonna be bad for the both of us, but specially for Nero after he got previously combo-ed. I gotta protect him, he is my nakama after all)

Without thinking any further, Iron Dabit jumped in front of Nero, standing in the way between him and the pirate, trusting in his cyborg armor, he made a blocking stance, placing his iron plated right arm forward, he intended to shield himself and Nero from the evil man´s strike with his own iron body. He didn´t had time to think of a rhyme this time, the situation was much too dangerous for that, all he could do was hold on and help his partner: "Hold on Nero!!"

Spoiler: Stance

Spoiler: Durability

Base Durability: 41 = Large Building (left arm & legs)
Chest, abdominal, mask, full head, right arm, both hands & feet plating= City Block level

Attack Result: Very effective on left arm & both legs. Somewhat effective on Chest, abdominal, mask, full head, right arm, both hands & feet

The barrage of compresed air and flames got to Dabit, he tried to withstand it as much as he could but the great area of effect the strike had made it impossible to block, the complete iron body of the cyborg was being punished by the Gambit´s attack. The iron plating respidly heated up as a reaction to the gun´s and rose´s strike. Dabit felt pain all over his body, but his legs got the worst part of it all, since he hadn´t had the opportunity to plate those limbs, their expossure to the dammage was worse.

Iron Dabit fell on his knees, the dammage his legs had received made it too hard for him to continue standing. "Ugghh, curse you Diamond bastard" he said, as he searched in his inner self for the will to carry on, he started to slowly pick himself up once again, not faltering, not stepping back, this man will fight back to his last breath.
