Smuggling

[Madotsuki]

The albino reared back and rammed her head against Madotsuki's face, the latter spiraling to the ground. She shuddered, realizing that her nose was broken, as well as a few teeth. Great; what would the dentist's bill look like? Desperately, she hoped that her teeth would heal like her other injuries. A tiny pool of dark red pool of liquid began to form below her as she struggled to get up. Rolling onto her back, she dodged a swing from the rusty pipe and wrapped her arm around it, using it as a lever to hoist herself up.

The dreamer hopped back just in time to avoid the next attack, whereupon she lunged forward and drove the knife deep into the enemy's torso. Sabitsuki gasped in pain, then roared as she twisted the blade further. She pushed the Night Terror back, growling.

Madotsuki took the chance presented before her, dropping her knife and charging a column of energy into her palm. The albino had no clue what she was doing, but she knew it was probably a bad sign. She ducked, barely avoiding the projectile as it rushed past her head. An explosion followed, and as bits of metal flew about, the dreamer realized that she had blown up the drone. Not her intended target, but it would work.

Sabitsuki glanced behind her in surprise, focusing on the wrecked piece of machinery for a moment before blocking the Night Terror's knife with the suitcase. Madotsuki countered with her own suitcase, although by now the square cases weren't in any condition to be used as weapons. As soon as the two collided, their lids popped open, spilling their contents all over the floor.

"Way to go, punk!" said Sabitsuki, gesturing towards the countless packets of white powder scattered by her feet with clenched fists. However, that was all the contents accounted for-- no bombs or anything like that. And there were far too many packets for a single suitcase to hold. Had the gang leader been delivering something as well? Whatever the case, something was off and she needed to act before the albino started fighting again.

'Wait, Sabitsuki.' Her opponent stared at her, confused and agitated.

"Do I look like I want to talk?" she hissed, starting to lumber forward.

'Doesn't something look wrong about our packages?'

Suspicious, the Rust member knelt down and sifted through the mess. "You're right. Shouldn't your bomb be in here?"

'My bomb? What about your bomb?'

"Why did you think I'd have a bomb?"

Rolling her eyes, Madotsuki pulled out her MDD and showed her the conversation she had with the mysterious kidnapper. The albino widened her eyes in alarm, then presented her own MDD, showing a discussion she had with another unknown person. The conversations were surprisingly similar, except Errol had been taken, Sabitsuki picked up her package at the Song and Dance, and she had been warned that Madotsuki was planning to attack her client.

Suddenly the person sent the dreamer another message. "Are you okay? I can't see you anymore."

Madotsuki punched in a reply. "Yeah, just beat up the albino chick."

"Good. Mind staying there for a few minutes?"

"No problem." And with that, she shut the device and turned back to Sabitsuki. 'Let's go. We need to talk in private.'
