The Hunter | Job | Team Orage

Aaron snickered some, grinning to himself as he crouched upon a busted up part of what seemed to be Ancient Ruins. He had given his teammates a brief heads up a few hours back before leaving ahead of them. Unlike usual, he wore not his casual clothing. No, today he had dressed for business. He wore his usual hoodie, but its style was altered to accommodate his Diawolf's Salvation arm which adorned his left arm. What was different about the hoodie aside from its lack of a left sleeve, was that it looked to have been ripped apart down the epicenter of its length leaving his chest revealed. He wore a dingy black waist-wrap trimmed by what looked almost like tiger's fur, a belt securing this wrap. The back of the belt having what appeared to be a holster for a blade, only the handle of blade being visible. He wore his usual baggy, black pants bearing inverted crucifixes. He seemed to have forgotten to wear shoes today, which given who he was, wasn't all that strange.

(Flashback Begins)

Aaron was in the guildhall upon the air-ship, grumbling some as he stared at the paper he'd ripped off of the job board a few minutes ago. “Damn it. Why can't you Fiore idiots ask for shit in a language I actually know?!” He snapped angrily as he grumbled and slammed the paper down in front of his teammates. “We're gonna find this treasure, got it?! Anyone who get's in your way, kill 'em.” He said before tossing back the bench he was sitting upon and standing up. He waved his comrades off before leaving the guildhall. He soon returned to his home slipped his usual pair of red and black sneakers. Once this was done, he headed for the shuttle and took it down to the vast gaia that lay stretched out below the air-ships current position.

A few minutes later, the shuttle was now twenty feet off the ground. Aaron lay on the ground fast asleep. For this, we must go back five minutes ago. Aaron stood not within the shuttle, but up on top of it, he sat with his leg's crossed a grin upon his mug. He lifted his left arm up above his head shielding his eyes from the sun he had his hood down at this point in time. "I wonder what I'll find out there. . ." "Why did I kill a noble from Pergrande!?" He pondered as his eye's began to droop some. His body slowly hunching forward as he fell forward. He lay there snoring now fast asleep. He mumbled some within and between snores. This sleep dialect being one quite foreign to Fiore, or most places outside the country of Sin. Aaron's voice also seeming to take on a much more demonic tone as he roared out in his sleep.

Suddenly his right forearm would begin to release a steady flow of red and black haze into the atmosphere. He rolled over his right arm swinging out and slamming against the roof of the shuttle suddenly the roof was covered in red and black flames which burned everything but Aaron and everything he wore. The flames lingering for eventually giving birth to an explosion which wiped the roof out with the exception where Aaron lay, thus resulting in him falling downwards into the Shuttle. Which brings us to the present.

Aaron lay there as the shuttle continued its descent towards the ground below as it reached eighteen feet from the ground Aaron had finally woken back up. He gave a yawn that was much more like a roar as he climbed up off the ground. He subsequently busted out into a fit of laughter as he sized up the destruction he had caused the shuttle soon plummeting to the ground below. He simply kept laughing completely unfazed by the current situation. Once the shuttle was only around five feet from the ground he leapt up slamming his feet upon the shuttle caused a slight explosion that allowed him to travel through the air out of the shuttle as it in turn hit the ground only to explode from the harsh impact and its current condition.

(Flashback Ends)

Aaron sniffed at the air, he figured if he would be stuck waiting a bit longer it wouldn't hurt to keep track of the scents of the hunter's. He was sorely surprised to find that their scents had vanished. “They're getting too far away from me.” Aaron said as he brought himself to an upright position and dropped off of his perch. He was done waiting. He knew that Vash and Myst would eventually arrive at the ruins. Aaron making his way through the twisting paths of the exterior ruins with ease. The ease with which he passed through them and passed through the threshold into the ruins made it seem as if he had been here before, though he hadn't, or at least didn't remember it. “Yosh. Time to kick some ass.” He exclaimed excitedly as he  slammed his left fist into his opened right palm.

Current Mask:

Zero prepared for the day, putting on his cloak, after arguing with Chloe to revert back to normal. "But Zero, you never let me roam around, and you just sit in here all day." Zero then replied, "None of these people know who I am, and I prefer to keep it that way." After this Chloe sighed and finally gave up, stating, "Fine, you win, but later you owe me." After Chloe reverted Zero put on the cloak, and picked up a mask from his collection. Zero already had his pouches on with his knives, and checked to make sure they were secure. After Zero decided everything was to his liking he set out, and soon found his teammates, one sitting at a bench, and Zero decided to sit also.

Soon enough Zero witnessed Aaron slam a job onto the table, and say that they were gonna do it, Zero did not have any tasks he had to do today, and as such decided to come along. Zero then stood up and stated, "I'll be there."

Zero soon made his way back to his house, and found Wolf reading in the house, Zero then stated, "We have a mission to do, here is the details." Zero handed Wolf the mission details, and Wolf quickly read and memorized them then stated, "Good, lets go." Zero and Wolf soon found their way to the garage, where ALEX was waiting, as they walked in the lights flickered on, and ALEX powered up. Zero then walked over to his bike and seated himself, Wolf also did the same. Wolf and ALEX then quickly synced the mission data, and the doors slid upwards, revealing the path out to the open sky. After Zero put on the screen that connects with ALEX he said, "Ready?" Wolf replied, "Ready." Followed by ALEX, "Ready."

Zero hit the gas, and soon was going full speed when he launched off the side of the ship, as he was falling he sprouted his wings, and glided down towards the ground. When he hit the ground he already had his coordinates set, and read the quickest path to his destination, making it there quickly, and soon found himself next to his teammates on his bike. Zero then said, "Aaron, you can take the honors."

Aaron snickered his usual “Shishishi. I was gonna do that anyways, ya Mystery Bastard.”, as he walked through the exterior labyrinth of the ruins. It took only a few twists and turns before he had become pissed off. His rage now showing his body would begin to glow red and black in some areas as his right and left forearm's had begun to release his trademark black and red haze. He grinned as he swung back his right arm and punched the labyrinth wall causing it to explode on contact with his fist, which had almost seemed to have released a shock-wave that formed a large fiery explosion. “I don' have time for this bullshit.” He proclaimed as he climbed through to the next part of the external labyrinth. He had been half-way through the maze before becoming annoyed. He wasted no time in clearing the rest of the external labyrinth and chasing after the Treasure Hunter's.

No more than a minute and a half later, Aaron had crept up upon some of the treasure hunter's. He thought they looked pretty weak. Then again, he couldn't sense any Magic Power coming from their bodies. “Oi, Dumbasses number one through five. Where is your Leader? I don't have time to be messin' with you small fry.” Aaron said calmly and confidently as he grinned at the Treasure Hunter's as they turned to face him. “Huh? What're you talking about you brat?” The one to Aaron's far left inquired rudely, a look of annoyance upon his mug. Aaron at this simply shrugged at this, his body almost seeming to fade before the man to his far left was sent flying backwards only to slam against the wall. A large cloud of smoke bursting forth from the newly formed crater in the labyrinth wall. The smoke was quick to flood the pathway within the labyrinth only to clear and reveal Aaron standing where the now disorientated man had been moments ago.

“Tch. I didn't ask for useless shit. I asked where your friggin' Leader is ya idiot.” Aaron said as he approached the disorientated hunter, completely ignoring the other four treasure hunter's. He would deal with them later if they didn't turn chicken shit and run like a bunch of cowards. “You're gonna pay for that you brat!” Snapped the man as he climbed out the crater a pissed off look upon his mug. Aaron simply cracked up laughing at this, “Shishishi! Yeah, right. Like the threats of a stinkin' human scare me.” Aaron said as he continued with his approach. His arms hung to his sides, they seemed to be swaying as he walked.

“Now let's try this again.” He said as his speed picked up in an instant. Before the man even had time to react, Aaron stood before him. As Aaron had made this burst in speed his left arm had swung up and forward. As he skidding to a stop before the treasure hunter his armor clad hand grabbed hold of the man's cranium. His right arm swinging forth, with his hand grasping his left elbow. His left had would begin to release his trademark red and black haze. The haze was quick to engulf the man before bursting into flames of the same color that set in place the initial burning damage. The man screaming out in what could only be described as agony. As the flames burned the man Aaron's forearms would begin to radiate a red and black glow alongside the red and black haze. Moments later the haze and glow upon his right forearm seemed to fade from existence only for those same aspects upon his left arm which was hidden within his Diawolf's Salvation armor would begin to intensify. He grinned deviously as his Curse triggered the flames explosion. Once more smoke would flood the corridor and the man's scream stopped momentarily before a second explosion, the one caused by his Curse was triggered.

Aaron would only briefly let go of the man, his victim falling to the ground covered in wounds from head to toe. The man's clothes were burnt to the point of being shreds. “Wh-What did that brat just do? Is he a mage like the Gemstone Hunter's and Harper?” The other hunter's pondered among themselves as the smoke finally began to clear, drifting further into the labyrinth. Aaron peered over his shoulder as he heard the words of the other hunter's. “Take it back. I'm not a fuckin' mage or anything like your filthy ass human boss.” Aaron said as veins of expressed anger formed upon his forehead. The look upon his mug was one of incredible anger. He clearly didn't like being compared to a human. He stood up now dismissing the nearly fallen hunter to set his attention upon the other four. He would deal with that trash later or leave him for his nakama to handle. Aaron once more let forth a powerful burst of speed. His body lifting up off the ground. He would swing his right leg forward his knee slamming into the face of the nearest hunter. The hunter would be sent spiraling through the air only to slam against the labyrinth wall the forceful impact producing a crater and lifting smoke into the air.

Aaron didn't wait for the smoke to clear before continuing the assault, he had their scents on lock down so they wouldn't be escaping him any time soon. He was quick to deliver a powerful headbutt to the second nearest hunter. The man being sent face first into the ground, his body bouncing off the ground seconds after impact. Aaron using his left leg to catch the man as he bounced up, his body swinging upon his right foot he would fling the man at the other two hunter's. All three of them being sent flying backwards only to slam back against the labyrinth wall. It was only once the male's onslaught had come to an end that the smoke had finished clearing and drifted further into the Ancient Ruins.
