SPIAGGIA IN VENICE!

[SHENG RÉN]

CRASHING IN AND breaking you to bits

This was the kind of battle that Sheng hated, as he preferred to to fight his battle against a being with instinct and not some robotic knock-off of a real opponent.  It was even more evident when he manged to tear off one of it's arms, but the robot kept on swinging it like there was still something there. Sheng only sighed at the display but continued to keep his guard up as he fought against his opponent, as he parried the strikes with more ease now with only claw to deal with. His eyes glanced over to see Ryker's situation and it seemed the teen had no trouble against his opponent as well, now why would they send robots that barely stood a chance against the group? 

"Yeah I'm alright! It's the other two I am more worried about! So let's wrap this up!" Was his response to his friend's question, as he gave the robot a quick kick to what was presumed at it's torso in order to create distance between the two. As the robot took a step back Sheng raised his claws once more in his signature Black Tiger Fist style, with the sole intent of finishing the enemy. He took a few steps forward with his claws leaving a small trail of red flames behind him from his earlier attack and right as he made a swipe towards the robot's neck but right when he felt to attack connect, smoke filled the area. The sudden smoke caught Sheng off guard and he stopped momentary to cover his mouth and cough as he tried to figure out where it came from, however when the smoke cleared the enemy had ran."Damn... Yeah right behind ya." Was all Sheng could respond as he placed his box weapon away as he made his way to Ryker.

He glanced over to the general direction of where Sheeka and Rai was and it seemed that they managed to hold off their opponents. However Sheeka didn't seem alright, whether it be the wounds or something the opponent said but he could tell something was wrong. "I can't wait for us to figure out who those guys were. So I punch them in the bloody face." Sheng was agitated right now from the situation, and when he punched his open hand in a vain excuse to calm down.

[RAITARO INAZUMA]

Raitaro didn't even glance at Sheeka as his right-hand man clambered back onto dry land
"Well, y'know, these are new pants. I don't want to get them wet" he shrugged while the hovering hitman seemed to be held back by some kind of fear. What was with this guy!? The intel said that Spiaggia was a bunch of idiots and all he had to do was leave the short one to his employer, this was supposed to be easy! He'd make his reputation taking down a mafia boss and then he'd be living the easy life. He realised he was shaking as he stared down at the spear-wielding boy who was still standing on a sheet of hardened water. There was an adjustment to his feet, he could see his stance changing and the tip of the spear move. What was this feeling of pressure in the air? Finally, he moved, triggering the jets he dived down to him with one of his metal coated hands held forward-

-And then he wasn't there any more. All he saw was the canal and felt a tingling flowing through him as his armor seemed to come lose. Before the crash of electricity surged and he plummeted into the water, naked now as his armor fell in besides him.
"Hitotsu no waza: Denkouissen" Raitaro stated. His spear vanished into his ring with a quick zap and, somewhat ruining the moment, Raitaro awkwardly waddled to the canal line as he wasn't entirely sure how he was doing the hardened water thing. Awkwardly hoisting a leg over and rolling onto the safe ground again, Raitaro had time to approach and see that the moscas were... completely wrecked but apparently had escape protocols as they'd both fled to Ryker's great annoyance (leaving a small trail of nuts and bolts from their horrendous injuries) and the guy who'd been fighting Sheeka had left too. Raitaro hadn't heard any of their conversation but he could see Sheeka was feeling upset about it. He even apologised for not getting the Mare Ring. Raitaro stood there for a moment, thinking what to say. Before unceremoniously headbutting Sheeka's head with a clonk and shouting
"Don't apologise, idiot! We'll get him next time! You didn't get killed and you didn't murder the dude either, that's a B+ from the Raitaro Inazuma school of 'being a badass'!"

Ryker and Sheng came over after and Sheng stated, quite fairly, that he'd like to punch them in the face
"Yessss" Raitaro nodded "Some face punching is definitely on the table. They're cruising for our particular kind of bruising it seems" the slightly evil glint in Raitaro's eye was reflective of how his ability to punch things had improved dramatically since Sheng had been staying with them. Although as what Sheng had said ran through his mind he brightened up suddenly and held a finger up
"Oh yeah! I knocked my guy out! We can go and ask him for details" Raitaro turned to look and saw the... flowing waters of the canal... "Ah... he's gone..." he glanced back and laughed a little awkwardly at his friends... hoping this wouldn't end in a savage beating like it usually did when he screwed up and was saved by the siren! No, wait, not saved. The other one... the situation got way worse! That's the one!
"It's the 5-0! Aww shit" Raitaro grabbed Sheeka and hauled him over one shoulder "Sheng! Grab your map! Squirrel, keep an eye on the fuzz. Everyone, CHEESE IT!" Raitaro started sprinting towards where he believed the safehouse was... hopefully...

((OOC: This'll probly be last round here and then the next thread can go up once it's done ))

[SHEEKA RIVA]

my heart is cold, please don't leave

Sheeka had partially been expecting the headbutt after h had something and apologized for not being able to retrieve the ring. That was generally how Rai tried to tell people that it was alright and an attempt to be comforting. Sheeka glanced up for a moment, rubbing his head slightly before responding rather simply. "I wanted answers, so he wasn't going to wind up dead..." Of course, he probably would have still wound up dead after Sheeka got his answers...but he let that go unsaid. Or if he didn't like the answers he received the man still might have wound up dead anyway...he doubted Rai wanted to hear that. Besides, despite being cybernetically enhanced, Sheeka was sure that he still had viable organs somebody could use...

"All the face punching," Sheeka voiced with a smile, the smile not quite reaching his eyes at the moment. Whoever these guys were with weren't just cruising for a bruising. They were cruising with death itself. The sound of sirens reached his ears and Sheeka knew that wasn't a good thing at all. Before he could start trying to get away, he suddenly felt himself being lifted and tossed over Rai's shoulder. "H-h-hey! I can walk!" Of course, he could probably escape better than any of them...and they did need him to point the way to their safe house. "You're going the wrong way!" Sheeka eventually grumbled with a heavy sigh as he directed them towards their safe house, electing to continue to let Rai simply carry him, despite it slightly being uncomfortable.

Sheeka did eventually get down though, absentmindedly pointing out the layout of the house to Rai, Sheng and Ryker once they had caught their breath. After doing that, Sheeka headed towards one of the bedrooms that he had already claimed for himself, already peeling off the wet shirt sticking to his skin. There was a glimpse of the bloody claw scratches across his back as he disappeared into the room to change clothes. He came out several minutes later, dressed in fresh clothes after having treated his own injuries with a precision that one who knew how to did. He approached Rai, pulling him off into a corner to speak to him quietly and alone for a second. "I'm going to go visit Mama's grave..." he stated quietly, being that the area he had grown up in wasn't far from where they were located. "And...I sort of want to check on my father and stepmother..." Sheeka sighed, perhaps for once in his life, actually looking his age and older than Rai. Stress apparently did that to him. "He knew about me, my surname...my family...things that nobody else should know! I don't like it..." Sheeka smiled bitterly for a second, not caring for his own idea of checking his old family home for his father and his stepmother. He hadn't been back there since he'd run away, not even to visit his mother's grave. He could have cared less about what happened to them...but this was something that he had to do, and do on his own. "You should call your dad and update him on things. I'm going to call Papa once I get back to update him...and have him try to smooth things over with the police. The last thing we need is to get arrested, right? I'm practically jail bait, after all." Sheeka stated casually with a brief smile towards Raitaro as he glanced around him towards Sheng and Ryker for a moment. "I don't care what you tell them, but...I don't want them really knowing about me...people look at you differently if they know you've been through hell..." Sheeka flared Segno to life, signing the kanji for shadow with his mist flames. He was going to sneak out so that he wouldn't have the chance to lead any unwanted guests to their safehouse. "I like things the way they are now...I don't want it to change."
