Try With Success [Mission RP]

Seika protested futilely as Yuuki shoved the mission paper into her hands. "I don't want this mission!" she protested, pushing the paper away. "Give me a more exciting mission! I wanna blow shit up!" Yuuki's eyebrow twitched, and she glared at Seika. "Look," she said frostily. "I don't care if you don't like it or not, but you are doing it. Everybody goes on missions they don't like from time to time. I'm not taking no for an answer. Now get going."

Seika opened her mouth to protest, but Yuuki had already turned away, heading back to the command room. The red-haired mage groaned as she looked over the paper. It turned out to be an escort mission for a rich woman in Cormere, who wanted protection from bandits for the large diamond she was carrying. Lame. Bandits were so easily defeated; it was usually over within 5-10 minutes. With quite a lot of hesitation, she dragged herself out of the door and up to the surface. The lucky thing of not having a bounty was that she was still able to get on public transportation, like trains and planes and stuff... But that thought bummed her out as well. Not having a bounty, to her, meant that she wasn't strong. If she had a bounty, that meant that the government found her dangerous and a criminal, and respected her strength (Even though that was actually inaccurate, as bounties judged via danger level, not strength.. not that Seika cares).

And that was how she found herself sitting on an airplane, flying towards Cormere. She slumped against the seat, just numbly watching the screen playing before her as she itched to not punch any of those fucking annoying babies crying behind her and blow the whole damn plane up. After an hour and a half of excruciating boringness, she ran out of the airport excitedly to go find and meet up with the woman.

She found the woman and her companions standing next to a large horse-drawn carriage ("Old-fashioned much?" Seika snorted). The woman looked slightly irritated as she judged the young fire dragon slayer standing before her, from her worn-down combat boots to the katana that was strapped onto her back to her fiery red hair. "You're late," she said stiffly. "You were supposed to be here at 2 pm. It's 2:15 now." "Only 15 minutes, woman. Don't get your panties all in a twist," Seika rolled her eyes. "Doesn't matter. Let's go nooow. I wanna get this mission over as fast as possible."

And.. so began their journey, as Seika and mysterious diamond lady, set off to... wherever.

To be continued.....


~I was trying to quote Pokemon, but I forgot how it went...~

Seika strayed close to the back, scowling at the back of the carriage. Stupid woman, stupid diamond, she thought scornfully. Who gives a fuck about diamonds anyway? Certainly not me. The carriage wasn't very big; the top was decorated with golden designs, but all in all, it was just a wooden contraption run on wheels and pulled by a team of horses. It was only a one seater, and so the woman's companions opted to walk alongside of the carriage while the woman herself sat inside drinking tea and eating biscuits and other crappy nonsense.

According to some of her companions (no, Seika was totally not eavesdropping. She just had.. abnormally good hearing, that was all), the woman's name was Angelina Smith (), or known as Mistress Smith, Mrs. Smith, or other fancy titles Seika didn't bother to pay attention. Haha, nope. Angelina was just gonna be Smith, or lady to her. Seika muttered incomprehensible things under her breath. Even most of Smith's friends were rather rude. They always stared at her in a rather snobbish manner, as if they were greater than her. Pshhhh. As if. Nobody was as great as the awesome Seika! Seika was totally the most awesomest creature alive... besides dragons of course. Dragons were the absolute best. At least some of the nicer people gave Seika smiles and chatted with her. As she struck up a conversation with a young-looking teenager, her nose caught a whiff of something familiar.... could it be?

"Bandits incoming!" She called, and readied her fists. The carriage screeched to a halt, and the horses shuffled skittishly as they tossed their manes about. Out of the woods, 5 bandits appeared. One jumped up mid-air, and Seika leaped to meet him with a fist at the ready. She swung at his face, hearing the satisfying sound of bones cracking and blood splattering on her knuckles. The poor bandit was sent flying backwards into a tree, where he lay there with a bloodied and messed-up looking face.

A bandit suddenly stabbed her in the arm right behind her. Shit! He snuck up on me! She growled menacingly at the guy and pulled the dagger out of her arm, swinging it at his neck and successfully cutting it. The last two bandits were now grabbing Angelina (who happened to shrieking her little head off as she swatted helplessly at the two intruders). They dumped her onto the ground, and as she blubbered on about how her clothes were now all messed up, they reached into the carriage for the diamond.

Fuck! What do I do!? If I use a fire dragon's roar, that's going to obliterate everyone there! ... Not that I care if Little Ms. Perfect dies... So she unsheathed Akiakane and ran towards the bandits. With a quick slash, she decapitated them, checking to see if the diamond was still there, before placing Akiakane back where it belonged. Smith's companions helped her up and back into the carriage, but not before the woman glared balefully at Seika.

Seika scoffed as the carriage began moving once more. Probably more bandits out there... She rubbed her wound absentmindedly. Need to stay on alert..

The carriage rolled along on the dusty old road. Seika still plodded behind them, her head and arms drooping. "I'm borrreeed..." she complained. "I wish the bandits would attack already...." One of the travelers gave her a strange look. "Why would you actually want that?" he asked. "Bandits are the reason why you're traveling with us."

Seika just shrugged with a grin. "So I can pound some heads, duh," she responded easily. The woods rustled, and Seika immediately dropped into a battle stance. A rabbit popped out. "Oh, just a rabbit..." Then the rabbit suddenly leaped at her face, claws and teeth bared with a strange bloodlust that bunnies weren't supposed to have....

"OH MY GOD KILLER BUNNY GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF!" With a shove, she threw it into a tree, glaring as it crumpled into a heap at the base.

"Stupid rabbits, stupid mission, stupid diamond, stupid bandits," she muttered under her breath with a scowl. Blah blah blah, more stuff happened, and they kept walking, before a group of 5 more bandits came running at the carriage.

Seika simply unsheathed her sword, and quickly impaled the first bandit. Then she kicked away the second bandit in the stomach who had tried to sneak up on her (Like that'd work, bitch). The third bandit jumped onto the cart, and the fourth bandit successfully was able to take out a wheel, but that wasn't very important. Pshhhhhh. That's what replacements were for, yeah?

She released a spurt of thin yet hot flames at the bandit on top, where he was sent onto the ground, wailing and clawing at his eyes. The bandit who had taken out the wheel stared at his teammate in shock, and raised his pathetic piece of a sword. He swung, and Seika blocked it, and kicked him away and once again... into a tree. (Repetition, kids ) The fifth bandit was nowhere to be seen, probably hiding, that coward.

The carriage proceeded to move once more. Some of the travelers seemed to be scratched up; looked like the bandits had been able to land a few hits on them when Seika was busy. Well, whatever. They'd live.

And......... boredom hit once again. Joy. Whoopidy doo. They had been walking for at least an hour now, and Seika seriously wanted to just ditch the mission and leave the woman and the diamond be kidnapped. Who cared if she died? Seika certainly didn't. The weather didn't help matters either; the sun beat down on them, slowly forcing them to drink more water than neccessary. Of course, the fire mage wasn't bothered. She was a fire mage, the sun's heat wouldn't be able to bother her. But the others? Pfttt, they looked like they were about to collapse at any given moment.

The sound of footsteps behind her excited her, and she turned around, hoping it was the bandits, but it was only a few joggers. Were they stupid? Why would joggers even want to jog here? They were gonna get themselves killed.... well, it wasn't Seika's business.

Something suddenly jumped onto the carriage, which sent the horses into a fright and caused them to pull off of the trail they were currently on. Angelina screamed inside. What a wimp. Seika immediately sprang at the bandit on top. He was dressed a bit differently, with more shiny stuff and badges and stuff. Probably the leader. Good. She was looking for him anyways; if she took him out, the other bandits would probably back off. She tackled him off of the carriage, and shifted into her battle stance.

"You will never leave here alive!" he snarled, brandishing his own weapon, which was a large iron mace. "I will break you and take that diamond, and then I shall be rich!" What is with villains and giving their plans away? "Whatever dipshit," she countered, flipping him off. "Just try me." Seems a bit stronger than the others, but not by much...

The leader hissed and charged at her, swinging his mace with rather deadly accuracy. Seika shifted her stance, and blocked it with one forearm and another hand. She managed to stop it from reaching her body, but it still sent her skidding back a few feet. "Not bad," she smirked, rubbing her already-forming bruises. "But you'll have to try harder than that." She unsheathed Akiakane, and swung which sent a gust of slicing wind at him. The bandit leader managed to dodge out of the way, but it scraped the side of his right arm. He swung the mace again, at her, but Seika was ready this time. Putting her weight into the ball of her feet, she sent a powerful punch forward. A shockwave formed between her fist and the mace, and the mace cracked in half. The shockwave itself sent the bandit flying back into a clump of dead bushes.

"Wh-what!?"

"I'm magical like that." Seika sneered, and turned her back, walking back towards the carriage.

"Ha! Don't let your guard down just yet!" The bandit, having said that, got to his feet and sent a bolt of flames towards her. "I can use fire magic!" The flames engulfed Seika, while the bandit laughed loudly. "You're ashes now!"

"Don't get cocky," Seika's voice could be heard through the roaring flames. Two gleaming eyes could be seen from the inferno, giving the impression of a monster. The flames slowly disappeared into her throat as Seika swallowed, feeling the warm flames trickle down her throat. "Damn, your flames taste nasty. Just like you."

The bandit reeled back in terror. "Y-you're a monster!!" "Thanks for the compliment." Seika smiled evilly down at him, and with one hard punch covered in flames, the bandit flew away and out of sight, somewhere. Probably died.

"Let's keep going!" she called the the rest of the travelers. "I wanna leave already." Just as dusk hit, they arrived at their location, in front of a small yet fancy-looking hotel. "Here's your stop dudes. Imma be going now." She turned tail and walked away, not noticing the scowl that Angelina was sending her.
