The Twilight Highways
*It was a peaceful evening like any other nothing really out of the ordinary was happening the nexus was just in a casual flow but as the sun sets and night comes the real fun will occur for this small story. Ambush sits in a alleyway bent down on his knees in-front of memorial tree most likely meditating to himself waiting for the sun to set and start moving again he's not sure if any other visitors will approach or not but even then he's fine going solo*
Eito, walking by, notices Ambush in the alley and approaching. "Uh, you okay?"
*Apon hearing a voice a voice Ambush instantly jumps up and spins around to face the visitor* "Ah about time you cam- Oh well your defiantly not one of my colligues that i know of." *Ambush puts his hands behind his back and observes the new comer from head to toe before asking him a few questions* "Are you here to pay respect to this memorial tree? I would be surprised since not many come here for such actions but those who come are engrossed in it's rich beauty and good fortune. The name is Ambush by the way nice to meet you." *He extends his hand you to Eito as a nice gesture*
Blinking a couple times in confusion of the rapid speed of information being passed to him, Eito shakes Ambush's hand. "I just so happened to see you on your knees in this alley and decided to investigate." He scratches the back of his neck. "Oh yeah, the name's Eito."
"I think I may have gotten lost again." That is right, Tatsuya was simply out taking a walk on this cold but calm day. But he ended up finding himself in the middle of nowhere, or at least no place he actually knew inside of this city. However, the tree made this teenager a bit curious, as well as the people around it. "Excuse me" He said in a rather low tone. "But what is this tree. I'm sorry if I intrude out of nowhere."
"Oh I understand just a passer by I see my apologies then for tree lecture then Eito. Well anyway I was about to wrap up my time here I just come here often before the sun sets and my work begins." *Ambush walks over to the tree and picks up a giant green sword about the length of his waist to his head and walk back to Eito* "I wanted to make my way to the Botanic Gardens and wrap some things. You heard any of the stories about the place?"
"Nope." "I'm willing to listen though." Eito seems quite interested.
*Ambush turns to Tatsuya-Shou to address his question* "Hello new comer you have arrived at this fine Memorial Tree many come here to meditate and gain blessings from the tree." *Ambush then goes to Eito to tell his story* "To put it short a bunch of low life thugs though it would be fun to come by and start trashing the district, they have been at this for a while and we been slowly picking them off but now they plan to target this Botanic Garden.." *A spark of anger is noticed in Ambush's tone as he clutches his fist says the next few words* "But if they touch even a leaf of that place i'm drawing a line nobody will ruin nature for some petty cash. I'll put a swift end to their crime spree and send those thugs back into hiding!"
Kotori follows the people in the alleyway, hunting around for something when she hears Garden, and starts listening Take me with you! I'll crush anyone who wants to destroy a garden! She sounds absolutely pissed off
"Blessings from the tree, huh?" The idea of a magical tree was cute to say the least, like with any kind of fortune telling service or rumor. He leans against a wall and places both hands on the concrete wall, making soft but quick taps as if mimicking a rythm. He pays attention to the story as he does this, and thus, his mind is filled with thoughts. Indeed, this was truly despicable, people like this made his father's and brother's job difficult. "Are the police doing anything?" The man sighs, it was clear it was not the case, or it was at least not in their power to do much. "Maybe you need help."
Somewhat surprised by Kotori and Ambush's anger, Eito steps back. "Guys, take a chill pill." Eito's eyes turn crimson. "I mean, it's just a bunch of stupid plants anyway, who even cares?" Once his eyes turn back to normal, Eito sighs. "Look, ignore me when i'm like that, I can't really control it."
Someone talking about nature? *Rose drops down from the tree.* You guys plotting to destroy nature?
*Ambush was surprised by all the people joining and getting involved with this Garden but then realized that maybe these are the people that can join tonight’s travels. He tries to generalize his mission to the group so they all are on page with what he will do* “You are free to all come with me you actually all seem able to handle yourselves but my job is clear those thugs don’t get to pay a hand on that Garden if the police and authorities don’t care I’ll make it my own mission then!” *Ambush raises his sword in the air as a way to motivate himself* “Now that I think about it I should start moving the sun is setting and they will strike any moment now.”
Let's go! Vigilante! Kotori raises her own generic looking Shortsword
"Sounds good enough. I'll do what I can." Tatsuya can't look away from this. And so, he agrees to help in any way he can. This said, he closes both eyes and crosses his arms over his chest. He turns his head to the right and feels the warmth of the sun setting. In the middle of the night, it was they who will become the sun.
Magus jumps from the shadows and lands next to the tree. What will strike? Magus, covered with his cape, walks towards Ambush.
Those who disrespect Nature must be punished. As a defender of nature, I think I'll give you a hand.
Crimson eyed once again, Eito shrugs. "Sure, we'll be the hippy squad, fightin' crime, savin' trees." Back to normal eyes, Eito sighs and shrugs again. "Fuck it, might as well."
*The way everyone ready themselves for battle...Kotori, Tatsuya, Rose and even the new comer Magus it caused him to put a hand on his chest and laugh a little* “This remind me all to much of home somehow maybe someday I should return there...” *He then turns to Magus who has recently joined the group and quickly goes over their plans to stop a bunch of thugs from ruining a garden* “But I think enough chatting is done we need to make haste!” *Ambush threw his large sword on his back and dashed out of the alleyway into the streets he gestured to everyone and makes a turn south to the Twilight Highway bridge where the shop will be close by*
Eito casually followed Ambush, checking his knives. "So...Why are these guys trying to destroy a garden?"
*Rose glances at Eito* Enemies of nature and Lady Demeter. It's all I need to know. Not that you care for nature either, but at least you aren't actively trying to harm it.
Tatsuya keep the comments to himself. Without much to add on or even say, he walks all the way to the bridge. He didn't bring his sword this time, and he had no equipment. Of course this was not really an issue, he didn't think that killing anyone was the idea here...well, unless necessary. Of course, hopefully and probably it was not the idea.
Protect this garden? Gardens are more important than the people think. Magus takes his cape away, now it is in his back, moved by the wind, Magus takes out his scythe I'll help you. Magis follows Ambush.
Kotori infuses herself with wind, then leaps up the alley walls and follows Ambush from the rooftops
*Ambush turns to Eito to give an explanation* “From what I understand it’s just turf control and money if you didn’t already know the Twilight Highways is full of gangs and strife between each other. Like I have been saying I have been trying to take down some of the different gangs activities but they keep repopulating like weeds.” *The sun starts to set over the horizon the street lights and take effect illuminating the streets they walk across. As they keep traveling smoke starts to be seen just around the east corner followed by gunshots and screaming*
"Well, ain't that ominous." "I suppose it's our time to shine, right?" Eito starts walking towards the noises, spinning his knives while doing so.
Magus keeps running towards the smoke, his scythe is charged with fire. PM: 92.
*Rose walks towards the noises. As she does so, she a black rose grows from her dress. She picks it, smelling the flower. She then offers it to anyone who wants it.* Does anyone want a rose? It's free. Careful about the thorns though. They hurt.
"Gunshots..." This was unexpected. However and given the context, it made perfect sense. Tatsuya approaches the East cautiously, trying to not get any attention to himself before understanding the situation. Being aggressive about it will not bring anything good to him. "The rest, however. Too noisy."
Eito shrugs at Rose's offer. "Hey, i'm masochistic as fuck, so i'll take if you offer."
Careful now. Don't prick yourself. *If Eito did accidentally prick himself, he would feel weaker.*
Kotori rejoins the group and sees the Rose Ooh! That's a new one! What is it? What's it do?
"I learned my lesson when I was 6." Eito stops to reminisce. "Man, oh, man, did I hate that day." Eito carefully grabs the rose,making sure to avoid the thorns, and puts it into one of his coat pockets. "Thanks, I guess."
It's just a rose. I mean, it's black, but it's a rose none the less *Rose grows another one out of her dress and picks it, offering it to Kotori* Want one?
Magus stops and turns back. ... ... ... Magus jumps to the shadows and quickly appears next to Eito, Rose and Kotori. What are you doing?
*Everyone conversed and cautiously walked around the corner, as they did some plated object landed in-front of them and started to beep faster and faster Ambush looked at it for a little while before realizing what it was and immediately jumping back* "Get Back! Get Back! It's a bomb!" "He yells to the others and then stomps on the ground when he does a wall of Bamboo is formed between the party and the bomb. It detonates but the Bamboo blocks must of it's force regardless though Ambush is slightly knocked back by it then gets back up* "Ahahaha better mind your step or get blown up! Hey guys we missed a few stragglers let's shoot them up before we light these stores on fire then get out!" *From the cloud of the explosion comes the speaker and he looks like your everyday thug with a ski mask along with a bland attire the only notably thing is that he has a pistol in one hand and is carrying some more of those plated bomb in his other*
Eito pulls out his pistol and shoots at the thug's knees. "He's better incapacitated, can't give us info if he's dead."
If you insist. *Rose's sleeves shorten as the split into long, thorned vines. She launches one at the thug, hoping to grab him by the ankle and trip him up.*
More bombs, is better if I don't use fire. The fire of the scythe disappears. The others are acting... hmmmm... Magus jumps to the shadows and disappears. PM: 93.
*Eito shot connects with the thugs knee alongside Roses throned vine knocks him to the floor. The guns slips out of his hand but the bomb still remains in his other with any strength left in him he arms it and tries to throw it at Eito before collapsing. At the same time two thugs one with a submachine gun the other with a molotov in hand come running up to the original thugs aid* "Tch dude you gotta be kidding me your getting whipped by some kids! Hey you little punks piss off why don't you before you get lead in your head! *The Submachine gun starts to fire on the party and the molotov thug tries to throw the bottle into the group. To make matters worse a sniper on a building just above the party is trying to setup and pick them off the thugs are showing no mercy on the group wishing to take them all out as quick as possible no mercy. Ambush dodges most of the barrage and tries to formulate a quick plan with the others* *I'll take the sniper on top just make sure you all knock out the other!" *He takes no time to scale the roof to confront the sniper and leaves the other two thugs to the rest of the party*
Magus comes from the shadows and slashes the submachine gun, cutting it in half. Pay more attention to your surroundings. Magus dashes behind the thug and hits him in the back of his head to knock him down.
"Nope." Eito simply runs back as fast as he can, eventually performing a backflip. The bomb inefectually blows up far away in front of him. "And that is how you fail at taking someone with you." Eito looks over to Rose. "Yo, rose lady, distract 'em for a bit, won't ya?" "I have a way to get rid of 'em pretty quick."
Kotori takes the rose, finds its seeds, collects them, then puts the flower away Rose? Never heard of it. Didn't have them in my world. Kotori's wind enchantment easily deflects the random spray of bullets as any come near her Hey! Rude! Quit that! She pulls out a knife, enchanting it with earth, and throws it, it explodes in midair and sends a large spread of shrapnel towards the thugs
To easy. *Rose places a hand on the ground. Suddenly, around the thugs, large roots burst from the ground and start swinging at the thugs.*
OOC: My apologies but I have to leave, good bye.
"Well, I guess my help ain't necessary." Eito shrugs and shoots at the thug who failed to attack them with a molotov.
OCC: That's fine hoped you enjoyed yourself *The two thugs on the ground were quick defeated and knocked out meanwhile Ambush made sure to give the sniper a round house kick before he could even fire a bullet but things weren't calm yet another explosion went off further down the streets this sent Ambush into a greater panic as he could tell where it was going off and yelled back to the other* "That explosion! It sounded like it came further down the street it could be the Botanic Garden make haste!" *Ambush took off without another word leaving the rest of the group to catch up with him in-front of the botanic garden centre*

Nooo! The exotic seeds! Kotori jumps after him
"Jesus Christ mate!" Eito starts sprinting after Ambush, his eyes a solid, glowing red. "It's been so long since I was in a good old fashioned brawl!" "I'm starting to get the jitters!"
*Luckily when they arrived the Botanic Garden it was still intact but heavy unexpected reinforcements were already getting stationed. A few different classes of thugs were present and to be noted of the first being two flamethrower thugs followed by some armour up thug lugging around a minigun they all seem trained and ready to burn down the garden followed by around 7 more thugs carrying rifles and finally a thug carrying around more armoured plated bombs this looks like a troublesome opposition. Ambush can be seen hiding behind a pile of debris and gestures for the rest to come hide for a moment so they can quickly talk*
Kotori hides with Am and whispers to him I can take the flame gun guys, they're the most dangerous to the garden. They don't look to heavily armored, and I'm quick enough to get in and out. Or I could take the mini gun guy, he looks slow, and bullets are pretty much useless against me.
They dare harm nature? What scum.
Eito runs over and crouches near Kotori and Ambush. "Alright, I have ice ammo, so I can get rid of mister bomberman and provide support to Kotori." "I could also provide some visual cover with steam." Eito shows the inside of his jacket, revealing various clips of multiple colors.
"Alright so we have the Flamethrowers and Bomberman dealt with I think I can knock out the 7 rifle men in one swift strike and Rose you think you can weaken the Minigunner? If we got this all down right we can knock them up before they can even react." *Ambush tries to peak over the cover and observe the enemies waiting for the others responses to commence the attack*
Oh, I can do more than weaken that imbecile. Just give me the word.
Eito replaces his simple grey clip with a light blue one that's filler with Water and Air Dust. "Well, i'm ready." "We fuckin' got this."

Kotori infuses her sword with lightning Gimme the signal!
(A 7'3 man walks by the group with him playing his banjo) daaaadadada
"Alright let move out.....no- Wait who the hell is that!?" *A strange person is playing a banjo as he walks past the great group of thugs which only gains their attention but the thugs want nobody screwing with them in retaliation the bomber thug tries to lob a plated mine at this person and a few of the rifle thugs train their guns on him as well this alarms Ambush and causes him to curse under his breath before running out of cover* "Screw it let's move out! Now! Now! Now! Someones out there!" *Ambush turns towards one of the rifle thugs and knocks them out before focusing on the rest of them*
[A blue dinosaur with the word "DIO" all over his skin silently walks up to Zane and slices the strings of his banjo with his claws] "Shut the fuck up, these guys are in the middle of an assault plan!"
(edited by -Diego_Brando-)
*Rose calls on numerous vines and roots to cover the minigunman's body and bind him, stopping his movements.*
"You fucking idiot!" Eito swears at Zane as he bursts out of cover, gunning for the bomb carrying thug, shooting his bombs in an attempt to freeze them solid. His eyes turn crimson. "Man, you don't know how much i'll enjoy beating the shit out of him in the tournament."
(edited by Eito)
OH, JESUS, FINE ALRIGHT
(He jumps face flat into the ground) COOOOVER
Kotori bursts out of cover and rushes to the flamethrowers are high speed, slashing both of them with her lightning sword but making sure that her slashes weren't lethal, she then turns to the others and fires a lightning bolt at anyone who wasn't immediately incapacitated by them
WHO THE HELL IS THAT!
"Since I'm already here, I'd might as well help you guys." [Before running out of cover, the dinosaur would turn into a blonde haired man with a dinosaur tail and starts running around at a fast speed, trying to distract the thugs]
(He quickly looks at the people, and notices ambush) wait.....THATS AMBUSH...HE'S A SKYLANDER SENSEI,
In Zane's mind, The Note Man speaks, clearly irritated. "Would you shut the fuck up?" "What are you even doing here?"
[A small dinosaur sneaks up behind Zane and bites his ass]
OWWWW, THE FUCK YA DOING TO ME ASS!, AND IM HERE CUZ IDK
(edited by Reperzel)
"Well, if you don't know, then why not get the fuck out?" The Note Man is getting even more irritated.
IM HERE AND IMMA STAY HERE UNTIL I GET BORED
"I hate you."
LIKE I HAVENT HEARD THAT BEFORE!!!
Would you stop arguing with yourself or I'll feed you to the Wickerman. *As if to show her point, the vines grow around the minigunman, wrapping fully around him and leaving what looked like a simple wooden statue of a man.*
(edited by Rose_)
OH SHIT. ALRIGHT GRASS WOMAN, FINE
*Rose is able to successfully constrict the Mini-gunner disarming him into nothing but a walking tin man, Eito's cold round are able to solidify the Bomber before he could lob anything else, Kotori is able to swiftly knockout the flamethrowers and her bolts make contact with two of the rifle thugs, Diego helps by confusing the four remain rifle thugs leaving them vulnerable for Ambush to take out* "May you never disturb nature again foul ones!" *Ambush strikes the four thugs non lethally and watches them fall to the ground like fools. All that remains now is the Mini Gunner but what to do with him? Ambush had an idea and turned to Rose* "Rose you mind if I speak with him a quick bit?"
*Rose nods* Very well. *Rose allows the vines to separate around the gunman's head* Speak quickly. I wish to know this mans objective here.
(edited by Rose_)
Um...well then, that happened
Eito walks over to Rose, hands on his hips. "That was surprisingly easy." "Well, that'll teach them to fuck with nature." Eito thinks about it and then gets a weirded out look. "Speaking of which, why did they put so much effort into burning a goddamn garden of all things?"
[Diego runs over to Rose and Ambush] "So, why aren't we killing him yet?"
(he jumps up) CUZ ITS A MAGICAL GARDEN PLACE THATS WHAT IT IS
Eito glares at Zane with crimson eyes. "Shut up already."
*Rose glares at Zane* Silence already.
Jesus...what did I do?
*Ambush stares down Zane for his constant blabbing it's starting to get bothersome even for him but he shakes it off and confronts the large henchmen and starts to converse with him* "Let skip right to the point you better cooperate or else it's gonna get real ugly even by my standards." "Tch like hell I'll talk to a overgrown piece of bark!" *The Thug spits at Ambush but then he starts to whisper something really inaudible but it seems to have thrown the thug into a panic and tries to squirm away from Ambush yet the thug is still questioned after a while the thug starts to whisper back and they rap up the conversation but not before the Thug made some kind of taunting comment and spit on him again laughing all the way. Ambush didn't care though he got what he came for today and look back at the party* "I got the info I came for feel free to beat him up and we can carry on with business heh." *This cause the thug to go into panic again as he realized what is about to come next and starts screaming in panic*
Crimson eyes now glowing, Eito huffs. "You're being more annoying than usual, which should be impossible, yet it isn't!" "I'll reserve beating the shit out of you for the tournament and take out my frustration on this asshole." Eito walks up to the tied up thug and punches him in the face a couple times.
(edited by Eito)
Well, at lest I broke a new record...yay
*Rose smirks* With pleasure. For crimes against nature and the law of lady Demeter, I shall feed you to the Wickerman. *With that, the vines around the man tighten. Soon, the vines catch fire from friction, catching the figure on fire, burning both the idol and the man within to ash* So. What did they want here?
[Diego then suddenly thinks of something that he could to the thug] "Wait, don't kill him yet!" [But he was too late] "God damnit! I was going to turn him into a dinosaur!"
(edited by -Diego_Brando-)
Eito's eyes go back to normal as he stares at Diego. "Mate, I don't know how you intended to do that, but at least the guy I froze is still alive." "..." "Probably."
(edited by Eito)
Meanwhile, Kotori sneaks into the Botanical Garden and begins carefully harvesting seeds, making sure not to hurt the plants So many exotic seeds~
I'm not even the bad guy this time...
"THE PASSAGE OF FATE CANNOT BE CHANGED!" *Rep is Sent to Somewhere Within time or space or both and A being grins at him with blonde hair*
*Seeing as it would be unfair to leave them out of loop Ambush would kindly explain what is going on* "It seems for whatever reason this thug gangs leader commanded them to raid and destroy this Botanic Garden due to some special resources being hidden here that they needed to get their hands on suddenly it does make more sense why they would target this area. Also the big fool gave me coordinates to some other locations across the Nexus that they plan to plunder not sure when and where but I guess that's my next task. But now to see what they were so hooked on getting." *Ambush enters the Botanic Gardens he see Kotori playing with the seeds and can only smile and giver her a thumbs up he has no objection to people with a green thumb. He then exits the building hold some strange kind of Silver flask he was silent about the whole thing trying to take in what he just picked up*
FUCK YOU ZANZA....FUCK YOU
"So...What now?" Eito is leaning up against a wall.
Some people. Using nature for there own gain. It's despicable. *Rose shakes her head before making her way over to Kotori* So. What are you up to then?
[Diego follows Ambush into the Botanic Gardens] "So, is this gang supposed to be dangerous or what?"
*Ambush walks over to Eito and keeps chatting with him alongside Diego* "Well to be honest there is not much left I think we wrapped up things here I just have to many things to work out now including the coordinates and this dangerous bottle I do believe this was the resource they were after but considering what we done today I don't think they will be coming by anytime later good for us but they are still one of many dangerous yet low life factions especially for the common citizen. Still I think we can rest easy now." *Ambush takes out a few stones with a soft purplish engraving one each one and hands them to Eito and Diego* "Here take one they are sometimes referred to as wishing stones I see it's only fitting how much you help me to reward you back and maybe you can give the rest to the others that helped us out. This is a token of my thanks for assisting me." *He then bows before both Eito and Diego*
"I'm not sure how they work but thanks anyway." Eito starta fiddling with the stone.
Getting seeds for my garden.... I want all kinds of plants in it. She continues to gather seeds at her leisure I don't even know what most of these are called....
I can respect that. *Rose smiles before walking over to Ambush* So, that's all then? Nothing more? It's almost disapointing.
"Try not to fiddle to much with it Eito it could end up bursting on you all the elemental magic stored up can be violent." *He then chuckles before turning to to Rose and Kotori and speaking to them* "Yes i'm afraid this is all the action that we may be seeing around here i'm sorry if this quick mishap did not live up to your excitement but I tend to come across battles these quick so often I tend to only just enjoy the quick adrenaline and practicing my skills." *He then pulls out the stones and gives one to Rose and Kotori then bows to them* "In anyway case I thank you deeply for your service here today you made todays task quick a breeze and I always appreciate some people who can understand the importance of nature just as much as one like me without it the world would be practically unbalanced."
"Welp, this was fun, we should do it again sometime." Eito pockets the stone and walks off.
Indeed. Perhaps leave your giant friend at home the next time, eh Eito? *Rose chuckles before walking into the foliage of the Botanic Gardens and vanishing*
It was fun! See ya!
[Diego takes the stone and turns it in his hand, inspecting it] "Uhh, thank you." [He then puts it in his pocket] Ooc: Sorry, I was eating dinner.
*As Ambush watched the others leave he looks at the flask he holds in his hand it was none other then the Flask of Quicksilver a potent item engrossed with Elemental Magic was found in some random Botanic Garden and now lying in his hand while it's good that this was in his hand this could also spell for some real danger in the future. But that's another worry for another time for now he should just get out and go enjoy the rest of his time here in the Twilight Highway* "I hope I can meet with the people here another time it was so rushed and they really do remind me somewhat of my colleagues at home. But for now Let me observe the coming beauty of the Twilight Highway." *With that Ambush also leaves the site to carry on with his evening*
