The Saints
Just to tell you, in the picture above is three girls from a new group called The Saints.
Left= Sakura Middle= Jan Left= Jaune
"Hey there!" I turned around seeing two girls wave at me giving me a huge smile. One looked pretty shy since she was standing behind her friend waving her hand out as she peeked her head around her friend. Her friend was tall and looked pretty confident as well. They were both wearing peasants clothes underneath their cloaks. "We were wondering if you could show us the way to the waiting room, well, since you look like you're an Imperial Guard here and all." She showed something on the piece of paper called "Waiting Room."
"What a coincidence, I'm going there as well", I sighed. I folded up the piece of paper and gave it back yo her.
"Really? Well then let's go!" I walked on seeing they were following behind. I opened the door seeing the room had weapons on the table and three different outfits on the side. I looked around seeing that there was a note on the table so picked it up and read it out loud.
"You three girls, Jan, Jaune and Sakura are to pick your weapons and change into the outfits given on the table. We have chosen the ones to fit your personality as well as protect you. The clothes are made from fireproof, waterproof, bulletproof clothing and will not be cut or damaged by anything easily. Chose any weapon you like and don't fight over them. I will see you girls in the palace gardens. Huh, that's weird, it doesn't say who it's from."
"Well, let's choose our weapons!" Jaune jumped in and started testing out the weapons. She turned towards me and tilted her head. "Why aren't you choosing one?"
"I only work with this", I held out my sword onto the table. "Nothing can replace it."
"But you'll need more than a sword on the field", she handed me a belt which was full of knives. "Hide it somewhere in your outfit just in case."
"I don't need it", I picked up my sword and stabbed it onto my hand.
"Wha-what are you doing?" Her friend screamed. It slowly turned into a bow and a bag of phantom arrows made from my blood. "No way!"
"You've just experienced what my Imperial Arm can do", I aimed at the centre of the wall and released an arrow on it watching it slowly turn back into a sword. "I'll pick this outfit", I picked a black and red outfit off the rack and walked into the bathroom to change. When I came out, the two were already changed and equiped with weapons.
"I chose these knives which are hidden under my cloak and I found this chain bracelet. It looked pretty so I just wore it. I forgot to introduce myself, my name's Sakura Ashiro, nice to meet you! Oh, and this what Jaune chose!" The shy looking girl from before looks pretty confident now or is it just me? I looked over at Jaune seeing her hold up a brass knuckle in her hand waving it at my face.
"Cool right? It caught my eye since it had this cool lion carved on it. Kinda reminds me of my sister!" I inspected it more carful lay seeing it was well carved and actually looked pretty impressive.
"We should get going", I ignored her and walked out onto the balcony. A man approached us as we got there and greeted us.
"Sorry to call you all here on such short notice. We have a target that is needed to be killed after midnight tonight. I hope you can take the mission."
Flashback:
"*Reads the note* I accept your challenge Jan, I'll meet you in the middle of the imperial forest. Meet me at midnight so we can get on with what we never finished."
"I'm sorry, but I decline this mission. I have unfinished business at midnight tonight. I have no time to play your silly games in this world. These two girls won't be able to even put a scratch on our target never-less kill our target. So I kindly disagree to work with them as they are too weak for my taste and will get killed on the battlefield easily."
"Why you!" Jaune was stopped by Sakura who made her take in a deep breath lowering her anger. "We can kill just as much as you can! We're not as weak as you think!"
"If you oppose what I'm saying is untrue then fight me two on one. If you can survive for at least 15 seconds I'll think about what I said. But on one condition, no holding back. If you go for the kill you go for it. Do not hesitate to kill me, if you do .... that means you aren't worthy enough to be teamed up with someone like me."
"You bastard!" Jaune charged at me but Sakura held her back. "Let me go, Sakura. We can't let this bitch tell us off like that!" I pointed my sword at her neck and gave her an smile.
"You know I can kill you right? Don't mess with me!" I walked towards the door slowly.
"We accept!" I turned around seeing them both get their weapons ready. "Take us on!" They jumped off the balcony making me run towards it looking down seeing that they were both on the ground safely. It made me let out a sigh of relief. "Huh, so you are worried about our health!"
"I never said anything that leads to that explanation." I jumped off the balcony and landed perfectly. "Whenever you're ready!" I stood up slowly dusting off the dust on my clothes. I reached my hand over my back getting out my sword. Wait, where is it?!
"Prepare to die!" They charged at me with full speed. Jaune held a knuckle as she charged at me, I giggled a bit seeing that she charged at me with that hand. It slowly formed a yellowish-orange aura around it surrounded her hand as it formed a firey barrier around her arms which forged two huge mechanical arms. It's an Imperial arm! I jumped up onto a nearby tree as I tried to dodge her attack. What do I do? I don't have my sword on me, I dropped it back inside when they jumped off the balcony! Oh wait, I have something! "You can't hide in that tree forever! I'll burn it down ya know!"
I jumped out of the tree at the back of Jaune. "Who said I was hiding?!" I took out 6 knifes from a leather strap I tied on my thigh under my skirt and threw them at Jaune right when she turned around.
"So you did use it!" She opened her eyes seeing that I didn't hit her but pinned her to the tree. "Why didn't you kill me? You're the one who said not to hesitate to kill!"
"I was going to", I walked slowly towards her taking out another knife. "But I found that it would be more fun to let you see your friend die with a knife stuck in your chest."
Sakura's POV
I saw Jan almost hit Jaune with a knife but I stopped her somehow. The bracelet I was wearing, it turned into a nunchuck-like chain with a spear top at the end of it. I threw it at Jan's leg seeing that the chain automatically wrapped itself around Jan's leg so I pulled it back stopping her from stabbing Jaune. I let out a huge sigh of relief.
"15 seconds was up ages ago. That means we win!" I yelled. My weapon untied her leg and turned back into a bracelet "Or was it a lie just to make as feel bad. Are you the strong swords woman I know or are you just playing with us?"
"I-"
"Speak up!"
"I don't have my sword with me."
Jan's POV
"Yesterday, I was on the edge of losing my life to a bunch of bandits in the mountains. All because .... I left my sword back at a restaurant. I'm such a fool! Everyone who wanted to return it back to me died because of me! I've experienced death once, and I don't want to experience that feeling again!" I lifted up my hand and concentrated hard. 3 seconds later a boomerang flew right into my hand from the balcony and turned back into a sword.
"Your tears ..... how?" I wiped away my tears seeing what Sakura meant.
I looked down at my hands seeing that my tears were red as blood. I took a look at my sword as an answer popped in my head. "So that's why you came back in my hand."
"Excuse me?" Sakura placed her hand on my shoulder. "You can tell us, there's nothing to hide", she took out her handkerchief and wiped away my tears. "It's normal to be scared of death, I haven't experienced it so I wouldn't know."
"Yep, next time ... let's not try to kill each other!" Jaune laughed taking out the knives one by one. We jumped back on to the balcony and took a look at each other.
"Ok, no offence but I look better than you guys." I joked.
"Obviously, I mean .. you look fierce when your hair turns red and eyes turn black. Is that the work of your sword?" Jaune stared at the knife I was playing around with.
"Yeah, pretty cool right?" I packed it away and sighed. "What should we call ourselves?"
"Wait, so we're a team?"
"Of course we are, a deal's a deal!" I yelled.
"How about .... The Saints?!"
