Chapter VI: Ice Dust
Ace's POV
Everything's black...
I slowly open my eyes as I see, that I'm still on the train. Though I was now tied up in a chair, I felt myself getting slapped a few times, before I eventually came round. Winter was somehow still alive... of course she is, her aura didn't take that many hits, a huntsman or huntress could still survive an explosion if their aura was still at a moderate level.
Winter: 150 crates of dust, gone in a few seconds... He already had charges planted there, they didn't plan on stealing it.
I also faintly heard Diana's voice in the background as well.
Diana: He'll never give us actual information. We'll have to go illegal if we want what we want from this guy.
Me: W-where am I?
I murmured, Winter turned around, she stared into my eyes. She looks pissed.
Winter: He's coming to.
Diana: Careful, he'll have a trick up his sleeve. He always does...
Diana said, extending her weapon, which were mechanical claws, just in case.
Winter: So, it's true. You really did survive the wreckage...
She grinned, Diana came over to my right. Giving me a cut on the cheek.
Diana: Tell us everything about your plan. Now!
Me: Answering you bitches isn't part of the plan.
Winter gave a humph as she gave a good left swing to my face at the side.
Winter: Illiterates...
Me: Yeah... Am I right?
Winter: Silence!
Cried Winter, slapping me across the face once again.
Suddenly, the train turned on it's brakes. The screeching of the wheels distracted the two and gave me an opportunity to escape using my semblance... did they really think a couple of ropes would hold me back?
Soldier: SNIPER! HE SHOT THE DRIVER!
Charlie... well gotta hand it to the guy, he's a good shot.
Winter: Diana! Spade is getting away!
I had already leapt out of the train and headed towards the woods. Trying to find Charlie and my henchmen. Though Diana leapt out of the train and slammed into me, knocking me into a tree.
Diana: You're giving up already? We're just getting things started!
Me: You're a crazy woman I'll give you that.
Diana: Y'know L/N... I really thought I liked you.
Me: Well then your welcome, 'cause I just spent about one hour and thirty freaking minutes trying to get your ass a dance. God, girls like you are never satisfied...
Diana didn't like that one very much. She dashed at me, I spun out my butterfly knife. But Diana rushed right past me, using her metallic claws to cut into my right side. I felt ice dust encasing my stomach as she stopped and turned around.
Diana: Cold shoulder.
She giggled, I tried to activate my semblance to get away. I couldn't.
Me: What the-?
I asked myself, trying again.
I can't use my semblance anymore...
Diana: Genius right? You may think you're the best out there. But it only took a matter of time before I knew that if you like to move around a lot. I'd be pretty damn obvious that you can't leave a piece of you behind...
Diana said... she's bang on point right. I'd been outsmarted... I snickered to her
Me: ...You're a smart bitch I'll tell you that.
I commented. She gave a grin and loaded another Ice Dust capsule in her claws.
Diana: Shall we dance?
I snarled, before hearing quiet footsteps. Charlie! Hopefully.
Me: Oh, you like to dance Judith?
I asked, taking out Ironwood's revolver... setting it to Fire Dust, and shooting myself in my wound to melt the ice encasing my cut. I cringed to myself as I watched Diana's slightly shocked face, my wound began bleeding out but my aura did the rest.
Me: I want to Conga!
I fired rounds repeatedly at her, her large claws weighed her down greatly. Causing her to be hit with the bullets, yelling with fury. She charged at me once more. Just then, a hooked cable wrapped around her stomach.
Charlie: Not today Little Miss Redhead!
Diana: No!
Charlie reeled her in, flinging her up in the air and slamming her back into the ground. Knocking her unconscious.
Charlie: Come on man!
Charlie reeled back Lobotomizer, the hook was flung towards me, I grabbed the cable as Charlie wrung me in. I landed right beside the group as I motioned to them.
Me: Let's split! This robbery's gone down the shitter.
I said, finding a sewer grate.
Me: Come on boys!
I took out Ironwood's revolver as I blasted the grate open. I jumped in first, Charlie second. Then our remaining henchmen last. One accidentally fell into a large pile of shit. Charlie had to use Lobotomizer to fish him out.
Charlie: Stinks like my mom's kitchen in here.
Me: What mom? You bastard.
I responded, Charlie gave a fake guffaw and stuck the finger at me.
Charlie: Fuck you!
I laughed out hard as the other three henchmen laughed along with me. Charlie muttered curse words as we made out way out of the area.
Charlie: I swear, I'm gonna cut your eyes out with this thing!
Me: You could try if yours worked, you might as well just cut those out.
The henchmen only laughed even harder as Charlie gave an over-enthusiastic giggle.
Henchmen: Perhaps you could cut Jacob's eyes out, because he's...Shit what was I gonna say?
Me: Or maybe you could cut his Brain out. Seems to me like he doesn't need it.
Charlie scoffed, rolling his eyes as he patted the shoulder of the henchman I was initially talking about.
Charlie: Gladly.
Henchman #2: How about let's stop talking about cutting people's things off. I could be back in the hideout, smoking weed and eating those fine burgers... now I'm down here with you assholes.
Me: Fine with me... I just need to make an errand. Once we return, I need to ask your bosses for more men.
I proclaimed, deciding to play a little game with these guys.
Me: Hope you ain't afraid of the dark suckers!
I yelled, rushing forward with my semblance. All I heard was the splashing of water, and the angry shouts of Charlie and the henchmen behind me.
Timeskip Unknown Location.
The Bar was alit with life, men drinking and celebrating whatever the hell they wanted with their hearts desires. Though in the corner, a young girl kept to herself in a cloak. A low humming seemingly came from her body, her slitted eyes never left the Television. She was watching it with a malicious contempt.
Lisa Lavender: New reports confirm that the raider on a Schnee Dust Company train has been identified by General Winter Schnee to be Y/N L/N also known as the Ace of Spades. Who was initially thought to have died during his transportation to Atlas Citadel after the destruction of Beacon.
???: Hmm, Y/N L/N... you'll pay for my brother's death... I swear I'll cut you into so many pieces it'll be as if you've been thrown into a meat mincer.
She slowly stood up and walked up to the bartender. The bartender noted her green serpent eyes, and while shivering, asked her for her order.
???: Gimme a shot, King Taijitu juice please.
The bartender nodded, pouring the glass of almost volatile liquid into the shot glass. The girl grabbed the drink and downed it within seconds. The bartender gave a slight throat clear as he held out his hand for money.
???: I'll owe you.
Bart The Bartender: Many people owe me things... I just need your name, so I know how much.
The girl pulled down her cloak, letting her ponytailed blonde hair flow free. Her teal snake-like eyes stared daggers at the bartender. She responded in a calm but tough tone.
Aurora: It's Aurora, I'm of the Facili family, along with my parents... and my half-brother Caleb...
