Ataru continued to sit on his stump, the sound of screams died down and Ataru assumed the fighting with it. He chuckled as he saw the first man's face lose color when the screams stopped, it was obvious that their side hadn't prevailed. Uncertainty covered the other man's face the axeman, he was probably wondering if he should sell out his employer or not. Ataru knew that the psychological effect of the battle they just entered would weigh heavily in his decision. What was supposed to be a routine snatch and grab for them had just turned into a whole patrol base being destroyed. There was no way a boss would allow some lietutant to return with their tails between their legs looking for another chance. The Axeman opened his mouth to start to speak and Ataru stood up with his sword at the ready. The man immediately closed his mouth and looked down despondent. Good, he knows what kind of situation this is now. He better hope Knuckles has any kindness in him today.

It wouldn't be long until the rest of his members were done with wrapping up their ends. When Knuckles arrived Ataru would position himself to the left behind him. He was cautious he knew that this was the one chance that the Axeman had to redeem himself not that he stood a chance on hurting anyone in the crew. What mattered is that he thought he could, in which case Knuckles would definitely kill him before Ataru would even get a word in. He would smile at Knuckles when he showed up and say"This ones, the group leader he's getting a little itchy. If he tries anything just jump out the way and I'll shoot in axe dial straight at him no way he's dodging that.". He would hope it wouldn't come to that, but Ataru had to prepared nonetheless. He wondered where this bandit leader's base was and what kind of structure he employed amongst his men. Generally with operations like this you'd see the boss as a center figurehead with no real delineation of duties. It was great because when you took out the figurehead in operations like that the rampant chaos made the cleanup even easier. You're operation is the exact same way hypocrite.

Ataru knew the voice well and he shut it out before its thoughts could go further. He did have a brilliant point though Ataru would need to change his command structure eventually as well. It was too troubling to have everything depend on one or two key figures, there needed to be a system that was above any figure. He didn't personally like laws, so he wouldn't use something as crude as that. It could possibly be beli but then he'd have to worry about having sustainable income. The problems of setting up a future network empire. Sighing he'd continue to watch the proceedings waiting for a chance to act.

Aloeus had finished laying the last trap and was headed back when he heard someone. It was faint but someone was talking. All but one has fallen. Your order? Someone had been watching from above there was no telling how long he had been watching or how much he had seen. "Take him out.

"Understood" The man in the trees responded, before the line disconnected. Aloeus had moved closer to the man, not only to listen to the conversation, but also attack him. Using a bow he launched a zip line to the trees before Aloeus react. He launching of he sailed through the tree tops. Grinning maliciously Aloeus would pull out the line's anchor hoping the man would fall. But instead he would only accelerate faster, turning the falling line into momentum for swinging. FOH member was already flying towards him as fast as he could. This is bad he is moving quickly and he already a substantial lead I don't think I can catch up!. Triggering the comm device he would make an announcement to his team members, even if Aloeus couldn't eliminate the target in time they would be prepared "Guys there's is a problem..." It was then that fortune had smiled down. Cutting through air, young large enough branch swung hitting the fast knocking him off his feat. Like a pro he managed to avoid his weapon being hit. Notching three arrows before managing to get back to his feet, sore and winded.

"Never mind I got this handled," Aloeus would continue saving him a nick to his pride. Aloeus would move the earth to the right of the assailant, deliberately causing enough noise for him to spin around. Without waiting to see what made the sound he would launch those three arrows. Each one would its mark the middle hitting through the earth and the others into plants that had moved. Even before the arrows hit the archer had already loaded another arrow, but that's when Aloe would hit. Yelling surprise only inches into his ear, loud enough that both his teams would hear, even if the comm was disconnected, which Aloe hadn't, the archer turned while jump back. But he was too late from this distance he couldn't accelerate faster than Aloe. Thrusting forward Aloe's tiny but mighty hand connects with his nose. Yelling out from the pain and his broken nose the arrow would fly in the general direction of the FOH. Dropping his bow to cover his nose he would reach for his den den mushi.

Through tears from the pain he would cry out "I failed- there is 1 Mo-." An arrow through the mouth would silence him. But that wouldn't be the last. Nearly a dozen more would follow hitting the man strategically, none of the which alone would kill him. But eventually he might sub come to blood loss. "Kuro KURO!"

"Sorry Kuro can't come to the phone right now please leave your message at the," removing the communication piece from the den den mushi Aloeus would smash it letting the creature go free.

The Crew has executed everything well, everything was going well. It wasn't like these guys were really a threat to them as a group. Hearing Aloe come over the coms about a problem Knuckles was getting ready to move out when he heard the second message come through. It seemed the issue had been taken care of thus allowing Knuckles to remain next to Ru. Looking back to the group leader Ru was speaking about he could tell that these injuries weren't meant to kill but to prevent any further actions. Though if untreated he'd never walk again, Knuckles pulled out his plasma cutter and adjusted its blade to a much lower setting The same setting he would use within the shop to build things. This would give him the greatest cutting power he could achieve in it's form. Listen buddy, you do as we say I can fix your legs. I'm a doctor, however if you mess around with us walking again will be your last thought. You see this here tool? It's a plasma cutter but none like you've ever heard of. With it I can cut the tendons with one touch, server nerve endings, hell I could stop you from seeing and hearing with this baby.
I know the spots to cut you at. " Knuckles rose back to his feet and walked over to Ru, his plan wasn't to mind fuck the guy but be honest with him. Knuckles would drown himself with mental issues and self conflict if he needed to to get results that affect a large group of people. When he reached Ru he could hear Aloe scream something, it came through clear on the coms though. It seemed his friend was having a lot of fun, likely because Ru and Knux wasn't around to see him use his powers. Knuckles was wondering what the man would choose, to further push him Knuckles turned back to him with a grin. "That sound just now was our third member taking out another one of your guys, I admire loyalty trust me. However, i don't think suffering for the rest of your life unable to do anything is worth the information of where your base camp is and where I can find your boss. He's just a low level thug, and he WILL die I can assure you this much. So.." Knuckles activated his blade and started to move to the open wounds on the man's legs. What's it going to be?"

As Knuckles walked up to interrogate the men, Ataru would shift his position. It was a basic movement they had been taught in revolutionary training, when using more than one person it is important for the guard to shift his position to be perpendicular to the hostages. Watching as Knuckles started to interrogate, Ataru was pleased to see that his methods were still as effective. Watching the man sweat and squirm the comm coming in from Aloeus only seemed to confirm their demise. After that he started to stammer at Knuckles "OooooK, I will tell ya where da boss is. Just let me go, I got family and kids.It was obvious the last line was a complete lie the man wasn't very good at it. Ataru could tell from here so it was probably obvious to Knuckles, but he did offer the info so that was good enough for him. After he a couple minutes of stammering out instructions to both Knuckles both he and Ataru had a decent idea of where their base was.

Once they were ready, Ataru would let Knuckles do what was needed. Afterwards he'd do a couple of very light slashes on the restraints he put on both men. "I've weakened your restraints you should be able to break out of them in an hour or so with some effort. If I ever see you again, you'll never see again." Walking off Ataru would begin to move towards the base. He wasn't quite sure what the plan would be, he wondered if Knuckles wanted to take out Randy. Ataru didn't have much interest in him, he hadn't found an opponent that he actually wanted to fight in some time. His mind was still focused on one in particular that he was preparing for, it was unlikely anyone knew who it was at this point. Ataru's connections hadn't even started diggging out information on him.No this will have to be an operation with no tells, I won't be able to do adequate scouting when it's time I need to accept that.

Depending on how strong he felt at the end of helping Knuckles take his island he might handle that "task" after his first matter. Traveling through the path that the man had given, Ataru noticed that the jungle paths were much more tame. This definitely seemed like the right path with the tracks and less jungled area. He'd use his comm to make sure that everyone was close enough by in position as they continued towards the base. Then as they could start to make the tree fortress shadow on the horizon Ataru would fire up the comm again."So do you want Randy Knux? I'm personally not interested I could take distraction this task."

WC: 459/400

"That's the end of that," sighed Aloeus a little bummed but there would be more fighting soon. Scratching his neck he realized he was still broadcasting. "Where are you guys? Don't tell me you are still fighting. I though you all would come by here by now." Walking back he remained cautious the enemy could still appear, they were still in their territory after all. They had been there for awhile now the Rudy still could respond by bringing the fight to them, in the woods, or doubling down at his base of operations. If they answered him he would cut the comm after they were done. If not he would leave it on until he saw them again.

Aloeus would walk back to his team members, passing the tree that Kuro's arrow had hit, had it not been in the way at one point it might of been on path to stop Knux from extortion, by ending his own team member. Making it back just as Ataru loosened the restraints of their captive. Aloeus took inventory of the situation, given the state of the man he could tell that he had been tortured. No worse off then what he had just done to Kuro, still he would feel sorry for him. Kuro had been shutdown so that he wouldn't provide anymore information to the enemy, this guy on the other hand was put through a longer pain meant to extract information. "Did you get anything out of him?" Aloeus question was posed to Knux, he was pretty sure he was the culprit of what he saw before him. This question would be proposed before Ataru asked about Randy.

In response to Ataru question about Randy, Aloe would respond "We have came all this way through heat, unbalanced disorienting landscape, and blood. Why stop now? Lets take down the head or we came for nothing." Whatever Knux decided Aloeus would follow along. But if Knux felt that it was time to retreat Aloeus scorn would grow. He would eventually resent the journey, Knux, and maybe even Ataru.

After hearing anything that Knux and Ataru would have to say he would casually whisper to the fallen man "I left your comrade alive. But he won't remain that way forever, if you don't hurry." In order save Kuro's life, if that is what he wanted then he would have to double his escape efforts.

Gaining the information needed Knuckles would make quick work of reaching things in the man's legs. Being a man of his word this would help them become more Renowned. Even within the underworld of thugs and criminals.Not like either of the three falcons where Righteous people anyway. Once he was done he listened to the team as they spoke one on one. Turning to Ataru, "I feel like Aloeus hasn't had any real fun yet. If he doesn't want him then sure." Without missing a beat he walked over to Aloe and chuckled. Of course we're going after him now. Just at a rate where we can fight fresh. I don't want us to make a mistake because were ran to get there.
" Knuckles readjusted his plasma cutter to the settings he needed to make it a sword like weapon again. Placing back onto his waist he charged up his suits engines ensuring they were at peak performance. Once the rest of the team the ready, Knuckles would head Northeast heading to where the man had given them instructions to go. Knuckles would lead the pack again. He'd be ready for whatever was going to come next. Whatever the case my be Knuckles knew that this was only the start to gaining control over this island. He had great plans for it and soon he would be able to make himself a laboratory where he could do proper crafting for his inventions. He had finished the ideas in his head for his next one and wanted to start working on them in no time.


Some time had gone by, and now the Falcons of Hell were coming upon their destination. It was dark now allowing the small embers from the fire north of them about 15 meters out to be seen well from a distance as they lifted into the air. The smoke lifted into the air giving it a dancing beauty image at least to Knuckles. The campsite was layered with security, as well as the big man himself. It was a safe bet that they'd know something was up, after all the men they had fought hadn't came back from the patrols. He sure as hell hoped this wasn't them on high alert. As far as he could see they were a bit slacked off. His crew wouldn't dare act in such a manner. Knuckles look to his crew to see if they were ready to go in.

427/400

After deciding absolutely nothing, Knuckles would lead the crew to the determined location. Ataru wondered if Aloeus did want the task before he answered.In my adventures with Knuckles have I been mistreating Aloeus, hmm I'll have to reexamine. Waiting to hear Aloeus answer Ataru would fixate his eyes on the dwarf if he was visible. Afterwards when Knuckles began leading them Ataru stayed closer to the left side Ataru's head was moving on a swivel scanning the surroundings. The worse part about jungles is you can't make out a fucking thing ahead of you. Who the fuck decided this was a road, this has to be fixed once Knuckles is in charge. I'll pitch him a robot with a flame and heat dial attachment, clearbots 556. Ataru chuckling in his head as they continued the walk towards the enemy encampment.  The route wasn't particularly long but when you're traveling on enemy territory every second can seem to stretch out for eternities. Ataru himself was still rotating his head trying to make sure they weren't falling into some kind of ambush. So far there had been no patrols, surely they couldn't have taken out all of those men. Ataru felt uneasy about the current situation as they pressed deeper into unknown territory.

Moving through his uneasiness they arrived at their destination unhampered. They still hadn't encountered any enemy troops when they all noticed the smoke signals. They were in various designs, scouting the situation they could make out the troops of the Randy. He definitely had layered it up that was the reason for the lack of patrols he was scared for his life. He must be wiser than he looks, Knuckles was looking at both Ataru and Aloeus respectively.Ataru whispered"I can cause the distraction for the camp rush in all main character like. I got a couple good lines, you guys got to tell me how you rate them after the battle yeah?"It was nice doing a task just the three of them Ataru didn't feel the need to be to formal around them. Whatever the plan would actually be Ataru would wait after his pitch. He didn't feel the need to rebuttal any accusations at his plan. He would just listen to whoever was speaking waiting to see what was said before they acted. It was still the one thing they had yet to workout the perfect team coordination. One day Ataru would like to have a team that he wouldn't even have to speak to they would just know implicitly what each of their jobs were. For now though he would work with communication, that was something that most crews on the oceans lacked. That wasn't going to happen on his watch at least not while he was in a crew.

WC: 463/400

Aloeus would walk in silence the whole time enjoying the nature feeling relief when the humidity had dropped, that he didn’t even know he needed. The night had come rendering Aloeus goggles useless, so he decided to let them hang from his neck. There was something special about the night time, while part of the world was going to sleep, the rest was a waking. The insects played there songs joined in by the occasional approving hoot of some bird. Randy had wisely chosen not to peruse the Falcons in the forest.  While the heroes had been walking for a long time in unfamiliar territory, he was rested and prepared. The one thing the darkness did provide them, other than music, was cover. Unless the enemy could somehow see in the dark he wouldn’t know where they were, just that they were coming. Circumstances being what they were would give Aloeus an idea on how to improve Being able to see in dark why didn’t I think it before? That’s got to be possible I mean there are birds that can do it why not?  Looking to Knux he would say “When this is all over do you think you can make me owl eyes?” From an engineering stand point there was already a word for this, night vision.

The image of what the enemy looked like and there level of preparedness’ had been a letdown, to Aloe. Are they camping? Did they not think that the enemy was coming? Those arrogant bastards we weren’t even a big enough to be drawn into their pace and headquarters. Angry he clinched his fist “They have the nerve to light a fire, signaling where they are. If I see smore’s I’m going to have to choke a bitch.” Looking around, not for food, he scoped at the enemy. He would wait for Knux or even Ataru determine the best recourse of action, whether it be spoken or hand signals. But he wouldn’t hold for long, Aloeus wouldn’t even let Ataru finish his statement. By the time he would say ‘I can cause the distraction,’ Aloe was already running the othersides, from around the tree as not to directly pass by anyone. “Hey ass hats! Show me who is in charge so I can know who ass needs to be kicked!

The role of distraction had been stolen by Aloe and if that wasn’t enough Aloe had something in mind to disperse the enemy forces pronto.

Looking to Aloe as he asked for Knuckles to make him some Owl eyes, Knuckles was a bit confused. Did he want him to make mechanical owl eyes for Aloe to wear or something just to see in the dark. He had just created this very thing. Though he doubted the way that Aloeus meant, even still he would put a pin in the conversation for a later date. For now Knuckles would hear the Dwarf say he was going to make the distraction. Before he could even ask what he was going to do the man fled off to do whatever it was he was planning on doing. Looking to Ru, Knux shrugged as his right hand moved down to his waist gripping the titanium plasma cutter. When he saw Aloe's distraction Knuckles would quickly leaped from his hidden position in the bushes, his turbine engines began to spin as they drew in air around his back, and heated it up allowing him to lift off the ground. A Low roar would be heard as well as the ruffling bushes he flew out from. Flying 10 meters out directly to Randy, he activated the engines another times totaling to a 20 meters of distance traveled within a few seconds. Once he had reached the location he sought to be at. He activated his blade as it too ignited to life, a fate vibration could be heard coming from the blade from those who were close enough to hear it. The Male's emerald green hues stared down Randy, by this time he hoped his crew mates were taking care of the others. "Randy is it? You're causing a bit a trouble.
We didn't go through all that work to simply let you cause more problems trying to feel the power void..We Falcons are the new law and power here, and as it sits you're not needed anymore."

Randy seemed a bit surprised that someone just appeared in front of him. Standing to his feet he seemed a bit pissed. "You're the reason my men aren't responding to my calls...
You people will pay for killing them!" Lifting his large Axe with ease he swung it at Knuckles. Knuckles lifted his left arm in attempt to block the strike but found his suit didn't fully sustain the attack. His eyes became wide, as it was put in his head at this moment that Randy had the strength and a good enough weapon to actually hurt Knuckles.


430/400

It all happened simultaneously in front of Ataru, first Aloeus would leap into action causing the distraction that Ataru intended to do. Than Knuckles would do the same, except magnifying the feat by leaping straight into Randy's camp. Ataru knew that he had to act fast, he wanted to be a part of the group as well. He could see the remaining guard of Randy's start to mobilize after seeing Knuckles threat it was there that Ataru would act. Using his jet dial first charge to move across the battlefield, Ataru could hear the gasps as he appeared  1 meter away from Knuckles and Randy. It was then that Ataru smiled at the crowd and spoke "Scatter now, any who try to pass will suffer my sword."Without another word he activated his second jet dial. All throughout the entire camp Ataru's would appear in total 12 they were all wielding swords staring at different men throughout the camp. Ataru would activate his thunder dial on his blade and send it arcing towards a group of 3 who were getting close to Knuckles duel. They'd scream out as the paralysis hit in different spots some fell to the ground others dropped their weapon. Once they were sufficiently down, Ataru would keep moving. His sweat and the sizzle of his thunder being the only trace of him being left when he moved at his top speed. I figured let's make a show out of it if everyone else wants too.

Ataru would keep his movement up around the battlefield, checking for any possible hidden sniper positions. Anything that might tip the scales in the bandits favor between the fight of leaders. He also made sure that no one would get any sneak attacks on Aloeus his radius was far enough.Guess all this training is paying off, my radius is amazing on this I can stretch so far. I don't know how long I can keep it up though maybe only a little bit longer after this. It wasn't that Ataru felt that he was at his limits, he just didn't want to push too hard they weren't that far along in their mission yet. Another group of two swordsmen wandered up trying to intercede on behalf of their captain. With his thunder dial still activated Ataru sends shocks down their spines as they pass out with their flesh steaming from the burns. Ataru would maintain his speed then drop down in front of Knuckles all of his afterimages disappearing. He would maintain his position keeping his head on a swivel for anyone else that tried to interfere.

Skills/Items Used:

Aloe’s yelling would serve as an effective distraction. By calling out in the direction opposite in which his crew approached the enemy was less prepared for Knux and Ataru. This allowed the pair of them to quickly reach their targets. The night was illuminated by the pair’s plasma cutter and dial respectively. Like a well rehearsed light show their weapons swirled, crackled and sizzled. With danger so prevalent and visible it was easy for them worry less about the voice they first and instead try and tackle the problem they could see. Aloe himself couldn’t see that much except those who got caught in fire glow and his team mates whose weapon gave marked their location. Instead trying to fight nearly blind he decided to use the shadows to his advantage and do what thief does best. With complete focus Aloe listned watch and moved. Paying attention to the entire battlefield how his partners weapons moved would indicate where opponents were, the sounds of steps, grunting, and the swinging of weapons told him everything he need to know.

Carefully Aloe would begin to everyone’s weapon he could get a hold of starting with the fallen victims. For each person that fell he would touch their weapon and then their suit of armor quickly as they fell. After the initial wave of attacks the fallen soldiers would arise like zombies, with no finesse, no control. To those who were already dead it would be simple to move them about but if they were conscious and strong enough they would resist Aloe’s control but still they wouldn’t move freely. With his zombie like soldiers and the weapons they once wielded in life Aloe would move everything he had collected against Randy. Like a witch Aloe laughed cackling letting it wring out loud and eerily. Since there were a lot of items, which were being impeded by the humans at their center, the scene was more chaotic than impressive. At least that is how Aloe would feel as observer. First the swords rush in moving free and fast. Hearing nothing that signified he had cut Randy next up Aloes would send some of his zombies into mix. Whether or not Randy would choose to cut him the down or not was not a concern of this strategic thief. He already knew that by placing them in Knux’s battle they were likely to all die. Knux just isn’t the type to fight around hostages at least not enemies. Their probably all going to die, he (Randy) is would be better off attacking through them . At this point the zombies would were crying out in pain not from being necessarily but from the sheer force of Aloe’s devil fruit squeezing their armor. Even if they were to survive this ordeal and the armor was pried off they might be left with some long lasting injuries.

Knuckles watched as his crew protected him from outside interference. The Zombie like thing was a bit freaky even for him, he could tell that Randy was starting to feel the effects of just seeing how strong they were as a team. Knuckles took a leap back putting a few meters between the two of them. Randy didn't want that type of fight. He started to twirl his axe around his body cutting up those that were his men but that were controlled to come at him. Blood and guts flung around the campsite as he hacked his way towards Knuckles. Knuckles activated both his Armor Haki on his arms and his Eye Haki giving him better vision of everything around him as well as a clear site of what Randy was doing. It was the first time he had ever used both at the same time. As Randy seemed to be hacking his way towards him Knuckles used is suit to lift him over the crowd of the zombies and right on top of Randy.Flying a short distance of 4 meters in a second or so, moving at speeds very fast. Once in position Knuckles would meet his blade with the blade of the axe. The Axe would start to smoke and began to heat up as the two were in a stalemate with the blade, it seemed they were Equal in strength. That wasn't the case however, Knuckles was just a bit weaker than Randy, but thanks to his suit and his plasma cutter he would be able to stand his ground. Since the weapon Knuckles had was a beam designed to cut through metals the more Randy pushed down onto Knuckles weapon the more he was helping Knuckles cut through the weapon. Randy pulled back and tried to try a different angle of attack, however this time around with the added bonus of his Haki under his suit Knuckles wasn't worried about getting hit, moving his left hand over he caught the blade of the axe with his hand then pulled it down to the side, as he did he spun in the opposite direction giving him a clean cut to the back of Randy, but instead of taking a shot that would win him the fight and secure them whatever position there was to claim, Knuckles took it a step further and stabbed his sword into the neck on the man. Due to the nature of his blade would stop air from getting to his body as well as shutting out any blood from pouring out either, Knuckles would stomp down on the back of his knee forcing him to the ground. The look on his face would of been enjoyable if he could of seen it. Knuckles hadn't even realized what he was truly doing.

475/400

As he finished his move he saw multiple things going on simultaneously. The first would be that Aloeus or Knuckles had created some kind of poorly controlled bandits in armor that were causing problems. The second being that Knuckles had seemed to be doing ok  handling Randy. Ataru would use the armored foes to his advantage. He'd start moving around the battlefield taking down men who were moving towards the camp he managed to get in with a larger group when all of the troops power sunk. Ataru had seen this kind of behavior before, he didn't have to look far to see what was the cause. There was Knuckles he had defeated Randy, and the troops that he had left started to fan out retreating into the night some screaming. Ataru looked around and when he saw that there was no immediate danger around him sheathed his sword. He'd walk into the tent he had identified in his reaching out earlier he knew it was Randy's.

The smell was not what Ataru expected, the stench of obviously spoiled meat filled the room. There was a single lantern in the tent that hung above it since the tent reached a height of 2 meters Ataru had to jump to retrieve light it then put it back on its stand. The room now illuminated Ataru continued searching for anything that piqued his interest. So far just regular things, books, ledgers, accounts it was then that he found what he was looking for. Hm, I've got to stop hiding stuff underneath my mattress this guy does it too. Picking up Randy's diary, would prove useful for Ataru in the future. He'd take the time to read it for a second while using his communicator to talk to the rest of the group."Found some interesting information going to  take a bit to peruse it."Ataru was flipping through it for a couple minutes when his comm blared on again. It was one of the men who was on DDM duty with the baby one Ataru left them. Patching in the call so all 3 can hear it simultaneously Ataru spoke again."First Mate Ataru speaking what is it shipmate?

"Uh, well we just got the weirdest communication. Something about a meeting with men who represent a Revolutionary General. All of their codes and signals were up to date so I directed the meeting at the Flagered Minotaur in town. Ataru would let the words sink into his head as he thought. He hoped it didn't mean what he feared, because if it did then he'd be angry. No, there's not a chance, well I guess there is there is a reason you left you know.

With his comrades bisection sending as shower of innards in all directions Aloe’s small stature was completely covered. The trade off however worked to his favor. Unencumbered by living bodies everything would move with more precision. Now he wouldn’t just control suits of armor but vary bodies themselves. Having touched the armor of many of the oppositions Aloe had discovered that they each had the same design flaw. Each set had gaps where there was no plating, great for flex ability, but it also showed the world where they were most vulnerable. If Randy’s armor was then he too would share this vulnerability. Sending all the swords into the gaps that were present in the legs Randy would fall to his knees at which point Knux would stab him through the neck. Aloe wouldn't clearly see this happen however but when Randy's body slumped over he knew the fight was over. "I guess you might as well know I'm fruit user, you've earned that info."

Still covered in blood he would proceed to the tent after Ataru as he entered his communicator picked up a conversation Ataru was having with the shipmates. It was someone representing an army general. They wanted to meet with the Falcon’s of Hell. More than likely it was Knux they wanted meet, as the lieutenant and ranked officer.  Aloe would have been excited if they were going to actually meet a general. The thought that it was only going to be representative was a little insulting. For that they could just talk like they were, why meet? Aloe would remain quiet, listening to the call from the RA waiting to discus means for the team with the others, after the call.

By the end of the call Aloe had ripped off a piece of tent to wipe himself down before it dried. Dried blood was nearly impossible to clean off while, no soap and hot water. Even after he had wiped up what he could the smell would still cling to him like well, blood...

After the call was over he would ask Knux. "What is this all about? Have you gotten calls like this before?" Knux  Before they left and after Knux was finished, during anything Ataru had to say, Aloe would search the tent for valuables and information just in case Ataru had missed anything.
