AFW Noir: The fall of the savior.

Meanwhile, Red Knight would be held down by a few of the other goons as he just smirked and asked, "I'm presuming thine men didn't enjoy what I was serving to ye?"

One goon said, "Quit your crazy talk! This ain't medieval times, kid, so snap out of your fantasies!"

Red Knight chuckled and said, "Oh, you would serve best as a jester to our walls. Do keep the entertainment up, will you?"

Another goon said to the others, "What did I tell you guys? He's insane!"

But Red Knight retorted, "No...that would define if I have any illness or derangement to one's mentality. I suffer from neither!"

Then the third goon shouted, "Enough! We aren't getting anywhere with this! Word is our boss recently had our guy before you let him get away."

Red Knight nodded, "Indeed, I have. And just pray tell, where is your boss?"

"Must you ask?" said a female voice as she came out of the darkness. It was Deathbird. "It appears you don't fear pain or death. I admire that about you."

"I thank you for that, Deathbird."

"But while you're still around, you along with that vigilante will be nothing but nuisances to our plans." She would motion for Linda to come in and have Ryan sit down and bound him up.

Red Knight turned to Ryan and asked about Linda, "I'm presuming THAT is your companion?"

[size=150:39ute2ae]This morning at 0:12 AM

I opened my eyes to hear the voice of the other warrior. I let out a bitter laugh and said "Like you wouldn't believe. Sometimes she's better than Robin and other times she's worse than the joker."

My self made wounds were leading the bad guys into my bluff. But I noticed one thing, only the main boss was here.
I wanted to get all of them out so I could make sure they all went down in one fell swoop.

I pretended to cough and say "So this is it eh? Why don't you grant me one last favour? Bring out my old buddy the leech. If there's anyone I wanted to give the honor to then it'd be him. What about you eh red knight? I'm sure you'd like to see the dear sweet cougra again. Come to think of it am I missing anyone else? Oh yeah I heard you got a right hand person too, why don't we bring out the whole family eh? One last reunion for old times sake."

My plan was put into place, I knew the leech's huge ego would never allow anyone else the honor of ending me. Likewise I knew the red knight had a flame with cougra and she wanted to end it, this was a perfect chance as any.
Then I'd wait for Linda to get behind them after they all said they're pieces, she'd zap the boss and her right hand goon. Then she'd toss the bag over to me, if all went down then the good guys would win. Now I waited to see Deathbird's reaction to what I said.

"How is she worse?" Red Knight asked as he saw Ryan get put with him.

Now everyone is watching both warriors in the hideout, making sure that neither one leaves their sight. Deathbird soon heard Ryan's request. "Why of course." She would grin as she had to be aware of any trickery these two had planned. "Bring in Cougra and Leech!"

While the henchmen were bringing the two, Red Knight would whisper to Ryan, "Do you have a plan?"

I would've smirked if the situation were not as it was.
Instead I kept up the injured act, like a wounded gazelle pretending to be so.

"Just watch and go with the flow." I muttered to my red coated companion.

Now it would all fall into place, if Linda was behind them all she could get the drop on them.
All I could do now was sit and wait, until it looked like all hope was gone. Then we'd kick the bad guys in their dark gaping nutsacks.

Red Knight nodded as they both waited for their adversaries (and one who wants be an ex-lover). Soon both Leech and Cougra walked in. Cougra still looked upset as Red Knight looked at trying to impress her.

Then Leech would say to Linda, "Well done, Linda. I always knew in my gut that you would be of some use." Then he turned to Ryan and said, "And I'm surprised to see you here...you have been a stone in my shoe, a thorn in my side, and a real nuisance for some time. Tell me, do you honestly believe that people eventually turn from the dark and go back to the side of the law?"

I offered a bitter smile "Not always, but I made sure to keep those who were beyond salvation from dragging others to their fate. But regardless I just want to say this. I loathe and disdain you, I only wish I broke your spine when we first met so that I would no longer have to deal with you." I said without breaking eye contact.

"But regardless it looks like this is it. But at least I die a hero, it's either that or you live long enough to become the villain." I then said. But all were unaware but me and Linda, it was just getting started.

When it looked like me and the red knight were to be finished then she'd act, Linda would save us and then we'd bring them down. The leech and his gang would never win, I'd always be there to stop them.

"Hmm, brave words for one will become a legend." He had to examine his guards to be sure they keep up with their watch. "And you cannot break me easily. After all, I am the Leech, no matter how hard you try to get me off, I won't stop sucking the life out of you. The way I do so is slow but effective, and soon I will demonstrate that."

Again I bitterly grinned "Well I hope you choke on my bones."

Now was the time, Linda would start making chaos and distract the enemy.
Then she'd throw me my gear, then I'd get the red knight free quickly. Then I'd grab this leech and singe him with the flame of justice.

"Oh, I'll put your bones to good use once I-Linda, what are you doing?!!" Leech would see Linda start making a scene and start pushing guys aside and punching them.

Deathbird would shout, "Get her!!" And the gang was distracted as Ryan's plan was put into motion.

Linda would let out her power and throw Ryan's bag of gadgets "I never really was on your side!" Linda would fire out her flammable liquid and set about 1/8 of the baddies of fire making them panic and leave the building for a water source. Over course this would also alert to cobs giving them only a certain amount of time to finish this.
