E2 C3 Factory of Dust

Walking down the nearby back alley Loki, Lilac and Carter all made their way quietly towards the dust plant. The sun had fallen behind the buildings making it harder for them to see. Well not entirely since the lights from the main streets shone bright enough to give them some inkling as to where they were going.

"What's our plan even going to be anyway?" Carter would ask Loki as they walked. Inching closer and closer to the factory.

"Go in kick the ass of whoever gets in our way. And save the girl you failed to save." Loki would comment pointing out once more that Carter had failed.

"Why do you keep pointing out that I failed? Not like you could've done any better against three opponents!" Carter would growl at Loki clenching his fists to keep from lunging out at the dark haired teen.

"Because you failed spectacularly. And yes I could have done better against three people than you did. It was a regular part of my training to fight multiple opponents." Loki would say stopping to look at both Carter and Lilac. "Can both of you handle multiple grimm at once?"

"I can when I have to. Grimm are nothing compared to humans and faunus." Carter would say. To most people Carter would be right. Grimm were no different than humans. Unless you were to think they were as deranged as grimm tended to be.

"I can handle up to three if need be. But to be honest I haven't fought any groups of grimm above three. So in theory I could handle more." Lilac would say giving a proud smile in the direction of Loki.

Great, just great. He had gotten himself into a situation where he was to take down a kidnapping ring with people who's battle experience was laughable at best. But it was all he had to work with. So he was going to make the best out of it in a way that he could.

"What weapons do you guys use?" Loki would ask the two. With the amount of time he had spent with Lilac, he should've known what her weapon was by now. But it had never come up in conversation before.

"My weapon is usually a scythe. But it's weird carrying it around town with it humping into things so, I brought two collapsible staves that I can make deal elemental damage with dust." Carter would say.

"So elemental staves. Not bad. What about you Lilac?" Loki would ask giving her his attention.

"I have a bow that can turn into a staff." Lilac would say happily holding up her bow. Pressing a button on the grip as the bow straightened up into a short staff.

"Now I know what I'm dealing with heading into this place. Time to kick some ass. "Loki would say pulling out his revolver and looking at the entrance of the factory which was now mere feet away from them.

In front of the run down dust factory, were two men who looked like goons out of a superhero comic book. There were lights that shined through windows that were about half a story in the air, just high enough for no one to make a extreme entrance. Well at least not any normal person.

"How many was there supposed to be?" Loki would ask in a brisk whisper as he turned to look at Carter. "From my understanding there was supposed to only be three of them. But now that number has really increased to five. If this is the trend. We can expect more to be added to this party."

"Aren't kidnapping rings known for having a massive amount of people in it?" Lilac would ask before Carter could even get a chance to respond.

"You make it sound like it is something that is supposed to be common knowledge." Carter would say in a shocked tone.

"What? I watch a lot of crime documentaries. It's common knowledge when you watch those." Lilac would say with a slight tilt of her head. "Have you ever watched television?"

"I've watched television. Just thought all of that was fictional." Carter would grumble looking at the two men guarding the door. "So how do we take them out?"

"I have an idea that could work." Lilac would say with a knowing look in her eyes. And a mischievous smile.

"And what is that idea?" Loki would ask with a frown as she stood and prepared herself to walk towards the two men.

"Don't worry. It's just hot girl stuff I have planned." She would say with a wider smile before waltzing down the alley and towards the men. She had no idea if this was going to work. But there was no other way for her to find out unless she tried.

Easing her mind to a degree, in an attempt to hold off the fear that had begun to bubble up within her. She acted like she was lost. Blinking she would have a look of surprise on her face as she ran towards the two men.

"Thank the gods I found people!" She would yell happily, making sure that the crocodile tears were flowing.

"What are you doin in an area like dis missy?" The man on the right would ask. Holding his hand over the obvious handle of his gun.

"I got turned around as I was following my friends. And the next thing that I knew I got lost." She'd say with a false sob leaning into both of the men gently touching their arms. "Is there anyway that you two could show me how to get back to the main streets?"

The man on the left looked at her with a skeptical look before taking a deep breath and pointing to the left. "You go down that path, take a right and then on the third left you see go down it and you'll find yourself back on the main streets. Be careful youngin. Never know what you'll run into bein all alone."

"Thank you so much." Lilac would say as her eyes glowed a light grey color as she activated her semblance on the two men as they both started to float into the sky.

Quickly pulling out her bow she'd aim it at the two and lease two flat head arrows into their skulls promptly knocking them out before they could pull their guns on her. Turning around she'd smile at Loki, and Carter with a prideful look.

"Told ya I had hot girl stuff planned"
