But Y/N didn't know anything of this until he finally arrived in the city and it took him another night by walking but he still manage to arrive in the city and unnoticed to the Vampire Hunters...
Y/N's POV
I kept walking and then I felt my skin changing a little but I still have this ugly look and then I saw a weird shop sign called 'From Dust Till Dawn' and something inside of me that wants to enter it or it is just my ego or something but I just entered the shop to see a old man smiling at me as I smile back at him....
Y/N:"Good Evening..." I said as he return the greet too. 'An Old man? I can't drink his blood with some people around here' I thought as I walk to the end of the shop as I found some books about history and it is surely one huge book but I just shrugged it off and grabbed it with only one hand...
As I open the huge history book, I didn't noticed a girl beside me, also reading a book of some kind but she wears a red cape... After several minutes later, I felt and hear the same man like last night, just entered this shop, and I can smell that he had 4 Henchman with him...
Roman's POV
Roman:"*Flicking Cigar* Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?" I said as I saw the old man's expression in fear...
One of my Henchman points a gun to the old man in front of me, just behind the counter...
Shopkeeper:"*Raised Hands* P-Please! Just take my Lien and leave!" he said in fear
Roman:"Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money" I said with a not to worry tone. "Grab the Dust" I commanded to my Henchman with a serious tone...
3rd Person's POV
A Henchman opens a case and removes one of several cylinders, which the group uses to take Dust from the tube containers on the walls...
Henchman #1:"*Placing another open case on the display to the Shopkeeper* Crystals. Burn. Uncut." he said
The shopkeeper proceeds to fill the case. As another henchman goes for another tube, he hears a low song from the girl's direction with an old man beside her, he unsheathes his sword...
Henchman #2:"*Pointing sword at the girl's back* Alright kid, and you too old man, put your hands where I can see 'em" he said but no response, even the old man didn't give a single flinch of attention. "Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or something?!" he continued as he goes over to the girl instead of the old man beside the girl...
He turns her around, dropping the hood to reveal a surprised Ruby Rose with her headphones. He motions for her to lower them...
Ruby:"*Doing so* Yes?" she said as she lowers her headphones
Henchman #2:"I said, put your hands in the air, now! You too, Old man!" he said in the raised tone as he also raise his sword again
Ruby:"Are you... robb-" she was cut off by an old man punching the Henchman #2 so hard that it looks like he is incredibly strong at his age... but it also made the henchman #2 flew right back to the wall near the entrance and it even flew past Roman...
Roman's POV
I am waiting for my men to finish the heist when suddenly, I heard a 'Hey!' and then 'Hyah!' from one of my Henchman, then I saw one of my men flew past me... I then calmly motion for another to get the intruder out...
Henchman #1:"Raise Gun* Freeze!" he shouted as I then suddenly saw him and this red caped girl flew past me and then crash through the window. The other of my Henchman look outside as Red gets up and unfolds something to a Scythe. I scowl, but Red smiles back at me before twirling her weapon around, striking it into the ground and she must have just turn her headphones off...
Roman:"Okayyyy... Get her!" I commanded to my remaining Henchman and they all head out of the shop and run at Red...
3rd Person's POV
Ruby spins around her scythe and kicks the first approaching criminal in the face. She gets Crescent Rose out of the ground and fires it off to hit another one with the butt of her weapon, sending him flying. She fires again and brings the side down on one attacker and dodges the next's gunfire with her rifle's speed, getting close enough to knock him into the air and follow him upwards so she can beat him away to Roman's feet...
Roman:"You were worth every cent. Truly, you were" he said as he drop his cigar and crushing it with his cane as the approaching police sirens are heard. "Well, Red, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around...*Raised his Cane and the bottom part opens to reveal a rifle with a cross grid*...I'm afraid this is where we part ways..." he said as he unleashes a red blast at Ruby, who she fires at the ground and leaps over it. When she lands and looks up, Roman isn't there...
Roman's POV
After I fired from my cane, I manage to get away by running to a nearby building and then climbing up the ladder but before I could get the top with my own, Someone grab by my collar and then pulled me up, only to be meet face to face to the same man that I truly feared the most...
???:"You are really a trouble man, aren't you" he said but the last part his voice changed to a demonic one and then he throw me away and I landed to the other side of the roof as I stood up while groaning and he is already right in front of me...
Roman:"I already finished from what you told me to do and about the deal!" I said trying to use my bravery...
???:"Bravery always leads to stupidity, mortal... But I am only here to watch... Now, do your job, mortal!" he said and the last part with his demonic voice before he vanished suddenly...
I looked around but he is nowhere to be found...
Red:"Hey!" I heard Red shouted from behind
Roman:"Persistent..." I whisper to myself as I regain my composure...
I turn around and saw her readied her weapon to fight me, but my getaway Bullhead rises up and opens the hatch to allow me climb inside...
Roman:"*Turns around and holds up a red Dust gem* End of the line, Red!" I shouted as I then throw it out at her feet and fire it at her, resulting in a large explosion... "Whoa-ho-ho-ho!" I laughed until. "Huh?" I stopped as I see something on the roof...
3rd Person's POV
A woman in a purple cape is now in front of Ruby, casting a circle of protection over them with her wand. As Ruby looks on, Glynda Goodwitch waves her weapon and summons several streaks of purple at the craft. Roman is thrown around in the back until he goes to the cockpit, where a woman in red, her face unseen, is struggling with the controls...
Roman:"We got a Huntress!" he shouted
The woman gets up and heads towards the back as Roman takes the controls...
Glynda glows purple for a moment and aims another blast above the craft, resulting in a dark storm-cloud right over the Bullhead...
Roman:"The hell?..." he whisper as he looks up and saw the skies
The woman reaches the back and her arms and chest light up like fire, aiming a burst of energy at Glynda. The Huntress blocks it, but the flame splatters behind her and glows hot with the enemy's raised hand. Glynda back flips out of the explosion, which destroys part of the roof, and magically gathers the shards to create a large arrow, which she throws at the Bullhead. The fiery woman shatters the arrow with several blasts, but it reforms just in time to hit the side of the Bullhead due to Roman's quick aerial lean. The wreckage separates and reshapes into more arrows that encircle the Bullhead, but the woman summons several glowing rings around herself that expand and destroy the shards...
Ruby, finally acting, reverts her scythe into its rifle form to fire at the woman, who blocks each shot and creates several blazing circles around her two opponents. Glynda telekinetically pushes Ruby and rolls herself out of the explosion's radius. Glynda looks up to see the hatch closes and the Bullhead fly away...
Ruby:"You're a Huntress! Can I have your autograph?!" she said in a pleading and awe-stricken face...
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Ruby and Glynda looked to the direction from where the clapping sounds coming from only to see the same Old man clapping with a satisfying smile on his face...
Y/N's POV
I watched the satisfying event in this night and I am also amaze by their fighting style but what intrigues me the most is about the Woman in a purple cape, using some king of old magics but I just shrug it off...
Y/N:"That is the most intriguing fights, I ever saw in my life" I said as I also stopped several meters from the two...
???:"Who are you?" the woman wearing a purple cape asked me
Red:"Are you alright, sir? I thought you lose your energy after you punched that guy in the shop hard" she said and that caught the woman's attention
???:"Hmm" she hummed as Red spoke again...
Red:"Can I have your Autograph now!" she said cheerfully but the woman's expression didn't show a smile but some sort of scold or disappointed look...
Y/N:"Well, I better go now. I need to check on my grandson" I lied as I turn around and started walking away and after several steps, I felt my whole body freeze if only I have enough blood, this old magic is near child's play. "*Sigh* Looks like I need to come with you two" I said with a disappointing tone....
Boom!!Cliffhanger!!
