Market Place Alley Way

A small blonde and white blotched rabbit sits beside a dumpster scratching at it's fur. It peek's it's head around the corner every now and then, looking around for something-but in all truth she was looking for someone. The rabbit then started to hop out of it's hiding place and it scurried it's way into the market place.

Leland ran down the alley way, scrambling after the fuzzy animal. "Come out! I know your in here you little-" then he stopped. He realized that he was chasing a rabbit-a furry white rabbit down a dark alley way for 'messing with his aim', all the while still being pursued by Tenik's bodyguards. What the hell was he doing?! He grunted grabbing his head with both his hands and holding back a scream of rage-that spilled out of him like a tea-kettle left to boil in a whistling screech. "I'm crazy, and now I just cornered myself in a dead end alley with people who will kill me on sight behind me. Shit what the hell was I even thinking on chasing the damn fuzz ball. What would I do even if I caught it? Throw it at them?" he let out a depressed sigh, then his body went back into alert mode with the sounds of footsteps heading to the opening of the Alley. He let out a whispered gasp of fear and stepped back, bearing his teeth. He pulled out both his guns, and aimed them at the opening. "All right bozo's, you asked for it..." he said aloud, disengaging the safety off both his Desert Eagles.

Two of the guards turned their attention to the dark alley to their left and nodded to each other. They switched their lights on their guns:


and with two hand grips on their weapons and headed down the long alley way with the weapons aimed and ready. They were sure one of the assailants went this way, and they were ready to use deadly force if necessary.

Leland adjusted his aim. His weapons were deadly, and he knew so. The two men approaching him had flashlights on their guns and he was unable to see them clearly behind the brightness of their weapons. He aimed for the lights, and breathed slowly. "Get back gentlemen-I don't want to hurt you guys because you were doing your job-we can relate." he replied. "But it will either be you guys or me who die today-or we can all walk away-" he replied, stepping back and ready to fire both his guns:

Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around Leland's waist from behind, holding him in an embrace. "Hold on tight! I wouldn't want you to fall now..." a feminine voice warned, whispering softly into his right ear before her embrace tightened and then they were both up in the air, high up into the air. She stopped at one point in mid air-and to the man Leland, he may have thought she was standing on a surface-technically she was, but it was'nt anything manmade if it was. She then jumped again, and they were even higher in the air and flying backwards-heading to one building roof top to another as she led their way to a safer spot.

Leland's eyes were wide and felt rather surprised that he was flying in the air now, but not surprised that someone interfered with his shot again. He half turned, still unable to see his savior's face, but felt a flap of fur smack his face. He blinked at the sudden strike, and realized it was an...ear? "Rabbit ears? What the hell?!" he managed to exclaim in the almost high speed winds of them flying back...who ever this other 'person' was.

"Don't worry, you'll be safe soon!" the voice replied. She grinned, even though he couldn't see her face yet, and took in his wonderful scent with blushed features.

The two guards blinked in unison. Unsure...what just happened. They slowly turned towards each other with a dumbfounded expression on their faces before they gradually started to back step out of the alley way and returning to the street before running in the direction of another runaway assailant. "That was weird." one replied. "Definitely wasn't." the other replied in a sarcastic manner.

Leland cautiously pokes his head into the Market Place before pulling back, half turning to Usagi. He had one of his handgun's loosely drawled out from his holster, and he shook his head to the rabbit. "I really can't enter the marketplace in my current...'attire'. Not unless I want a bullet in my back, I'm still wanted for that botched Assassination Attempt. Though we need to get passed the Marketplace in order to get to the transportation bay-and from there we would need access to a ship." he says to the spaced out rabbit. He blinks at her, and cocks his right eyebrow. "Hey...you listening to me Lolipop?" He asks, referencing her strange and wild attire she was wearing...well, at least to the scraps she WAS wearing.

Leland Irvine-(Continued from Shanty Town Alleyway) wrote:Leland nodded, and took the precious stone gently. She was dead serious about this and he was gonna take care of it. "Don't sweat it, I know what I'm doing." he said as he slid the stone into his pocket. "Ok, so I'm your dog again...Let's get going." he said at last before walking away-a smile on his face.

Usagi's face beamed brightly, her tears seemingly dried away quickly. She clasps her hands over each other and she squeals out of happiness. "Thank you! Thank you so much Leland!" She says bouncing along side him and following his lead.

Usagi placed her hands on her hips, and leans towards him with her mid spine. "Huh? Hey my name isn't ' lollipop' whatever that is, it's Usagi-U-S-A-G-I! And I can't see why we just can't enter-I mean, how important was this guy you were hired to kill anyhow?" she asked, cocking an eyebrow. She can tell Leland was definitely more on edge. But still...they should have been on the surface by now...she couldn't even remember why they were in this alley to begin with now that she thought of it. "Hmm..." She ponders, holding her bouncy assets up with her left arm bent under them, lifting both soft and squishy mounds up as her right index finger was placed upon the right corner of her mouth, her head and neck rose, and she looked blankly into the ceiling above them as she continues to ponder. She leans her back upon the cool brick wall behind her, and one sensually long leg was crossed over the other.

He watched the womanly creature make sudden sensual movements, and he wasn't sure if she was entirely coherent of that obvious fact. Leland takes this moment to watch her go from being irritated with him to contemplation. He thinks to himself: "I don't know if I can take much of this...I mean, yeah she's got a rocking body and all...but she's also a bit of an airhead...The ears I can handle, its whats inside this scantly clad creature that is stopping me from courting her." He sighs, looking from her voluminous breasts (he could imagine they were as ample and soft as they appeared), to her beautiful blue eyes.

Shrugging his shoulders, he turns and notices a long cloak and hood on the side of a market stand. He stares at that, then back to the Rabbit. "Alright then, Usagi." he says finally. He then adds: "But while you were pondering a way out for us-" he pulls up the cloak and wraps it around his shoulders and then hands her one as well. "I've found our disguise."

"Hm?" she half turns to Leland. She catches something in his eyes as he looks at her that was a little...awkward. "Why is he staring at me like that?" a thought came up in her puzzled head. She frowns slightly and felt a little cold from the way he stared at her. She was about to ask him if there was something wrong or if there was something on her but he was already turned away and then presenting a pair of long dark cloaks. She looks at the one he is handing her with another perplexed expression, then looks back into his eyes. "'Our' disguises? I thought that you were looking for a disguise, I wasn't aware that I needed one as well." she states, bowing a little in his direction with her arms folded across her jiggly bosoms.

Leland rolled his eyes and tossed the garment over her head, causing her ears to fold and the garment to drape. "C'mon, don't tell me you've already forgotten they're after you as well. You aided me in avoiding the ''bacon'' and I'm just gonna go out on a whim and presume that they're after you as well Lady." he says putting on the cloak and puts up his hood. "And with a pair of...er-ears like that your gonna be easily spotted in a crowd." he says coughing into his fist while his face felt a little warm.

She quickly tugged the musty robe off and met his face with an irritated frown. "There is nothing wrong with my ears!" she bellowed with a blush. Pouting she then holds out the ugly robe before her and looks it over. "Ugh, could you have chosen something a little less tacky?" she scoffed, pulling the heavy dark robe around her body and then slid the hood up folding her ears and tucking them behind her head. She was completely covered with the exception of her bare feet and most of her face. All the while, she looked irritatingly at Leland. "There...are you happy now?" she says folding her arms across her chest again, her hidden breasts still moved easily under the musky garment. "And again, my name is USAGI. Not Lady or any other nickname, hmp!" She says closing her eyes and looking away from him, flustered.

He dawns on his robe as she complains about hers. He turns to her, equally irritated. "Just shut up and put the damn thing on." by the time his hood is up he turns to her and notices she was finished. He has a deadpan look about him and responds back: "Consider yourself lucky that I found something big enough for ya, O.K.?" he turns to the crowd again. "Okay, lets move!" he says in a powerful voice, grabbing Usagi's arm and then forced her into the crowd along with him.

She whipped her head around at him, mouth agape, her face blushed pink and her eyes wide in shock. "Are you trying to insinuate something? By that remar-kaaaa!" She was then tugged into the crowd by Leland's strong hand. "H-hey! I can walk thank you!" she cried out.

Kii checked the mag of her Quicksilver Scorpio, the bullpup weapon was warm and losing some of its special forces quality in the days of use its had. "To think this thing was brand new a week ago... its been through hell." She commented gently, keeping her voice low. She was huddled in an alley way in the marketplace... the scene of much bloodshed since the monsters arrived. She was working alone these days, much of Sargent Kii Silverleaf's unit had been killed by these invaders. She pushed the magazine back into the weapon, pulling back the cocking device. "Okay... gotta look for survivors..." She whispered, poking her head from the alley. The market was in shambles, drying blood stains here and there. Bullet casings littered the ground along with rotting fruit, and already perished goods. There were no bodies... the 'monsters' took them.

The ADN soldier crouched down, running out to one of the upturned stalls to provide her with cover. It was easier to move around without the bulky white armor, it did little against some of the monster's weapons anyway. This way, Kii could utilize her elven gifts to her fullest. "Survivors..." she mumbled, her amber eyes scanning the market. There were still supplies to be scavenged here, so she naturally assumed someone would try to risk it coming here. She was gonna be the one to provide them an escort back to the resistance den.

''Bullet'' tossed aside the carcass of one of the mindless drones that had attacked the heavily wounded moon base and colony. "Crap... there's no end to these guys!" She panted, kicking the lifeless corpse as she stumbled into the market street. From what she heard, it was a blood bath, but seeing it up close the site of the market was indeed as bad as the few survivors she came across had said. Upended stalls, garbage and supplies cluttering the 'street' of the open air market. She could see dried blood pooled in places where bodies lain at one point, and long trails of blood where the victims were dragged away. She had no idea what these monsters wanted from them, but she wasn't going to stick around long to find out. She needed to find some supplies, and then get the heck away from this place. There were still shuttles and ships parked in the docking bays, and there hadn't been another attack in a while from the 'invaders' outside. Though there were definitely monsters lurking about in the colony, looking for fresh meals or victims to slaughter.

The mercenary looked very well considering appearance wise. She seemed to have quite the boundless capacity of energy after a week of no sleep... but that was thanks to her location, and some other traits she had... being this close to the moon had its advantages she supposed. She yawned though, boredom mostly, as she walks into the market and grabs an apple, checking it for rot. "Ugh... nothing's good around here." She sighed, tossing the squishy apple behind her and continued to rummage through the stalls for supplies.

The elf's ears twitched as the sound of movement turned her head to face the woman. "What is she doing?! She's making herself a sitting duck!" Kii thought, poking her head out of cover slightly, observing the area for any signs of the enemy. IF she was correct, the enemy would find the marketplace an equally beneficial place to set up an ambush to prey on the surviving mortals and staff within the colony! She heard the squishy apple fall with a splat somewhere to the left, and then looked down, grabbing a brass cartridge from the white tiled floor and threw it at the woman's back to grab her attention.

Bullet heard something clink against her right gauntlet as she turned, and turned her head quickly towards the direction that the projectile had been thrown; fists raised, and the left gauntlet's surface rattling as she rose her arms!



She saw a pair of Elven ears and amber eyes staring back at her, and she raised a brow. "Oh... phew, thought you were another one of those monsters." She eased her stance a little. "What the hell are you doing here? Don't you realize there are monsters about?" She chastised the elf, her brow raised with mild concern.

Sgt. Silverleaf was incredulous by the woman's reaction! Be it her Elven impatience with other creatures, she stood up and pointed at the woman. "Well no shit! Of course I fucking know I'm an ADN Soldier, dumbass!!" She screamed. Her nerves were shot after a week in hell, and she wasn't in the mood to play games with a Civ! "Why aren't you with the other survivors?! Hell, not in cover?!" Kii added, huffing and puffing.

Bullet blinked at the remarks, and narrowed her eyes. "Clearly, you don't have to spray it, just say it Soldier Gal." She says mockingly wiping her face. She looked around. "Nothing out here yet, I would have smelled them coming... they kinda reek after all, these monsters." She says, turning to the elf. "Heh, wait, there's still more of you soldiers alive around here?" She scoffed, approaching the woman. "You see, I've been wandering the colony for the past few days, coming across ADN bodies left and right. Surprised any of you are left in this hell hole." She stopped, her boots rolling casings below her. "C'mon, lets get to the bridge and get off this shit stain. There's not much left to protect, and I'm not dying here for nothing."
