Catherine nodded and couldn't help but smile as Kraven picked her up again.

"Slums it is, then."

She said, now grinning because even if there was a psycho killer that had taken Jade, SHE had a psycho killer right here that could lead her to the doctor.

Kraven looked up at Catherine, smiling to her "Hey... cheer up Mosquito. If the Doctor's alive then I'll save him, don't worry about it. If anyone's gonna kill him it'll be me... I'm not gonna let anyone else kill him until then..." he told her, in his own screwed up logic, that he would protect Jade. So then the man an off with Catherine to the slums "Here we go!" he yelled happily as they moved off to the darkest part of No Man's Land. Hopefully they'd find Vulture Team there, in that case Kraven knew that Jade would be there.

renier arrived at the black market, finding a very convenient shopping trolley to put his items in.
medicine should fetch a decent value... but drugs, especially the highly addictive types, will be the real cash cow...

he pulled out a bottle of his penicillin tea mix and took a few gulps, it tasted bad still, but the tea made it much more tolerable.

he bartered for several items, deciding against collecting all he needed now and only getting some essentials, some hydraulic parts, electronic bits, battery cells, compressed fuel tanks, chemicals. and various tools. he also bought the shopping cart to lug it all to wherever he was going.

he found one vendor that was selling laptops.
huh... i guess i shouldn't be surprised you can get creature comforts here as well...
he decided against getting the laptop, as that seemed somewhat useless to him for now without a way to recharge it, maybe next time though...

along those lines... i'll need to setup shop somewhere eventually, the truck will be fine for now... but im going to need more space eventually.... he thought.

satisfied with his shopping, he decided it was time to leave and begin designing and construction.

It was time "Why hello there LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...!" the march of the Conqueror Worm was upon No Man's Land. Figaro led an army of thousands into the Black Market. There were mere hundreds in the market already, but they didn't try to resist, many were just trying to get by. Figaro had a conniving smile as he led the army, and upon seeing the people in the market surrender, the Ringleader raised his umbrella. BLAM! A single shot was fired from the tip of his umbrella, a bullet going straight through the chest of one of the traders "Kill them all..." Figaro spoke without remorse or emotion. In mere seconds, everyone and everything in the Black Market was dead. All of them were shot down by the soldiers of Conqueror Worm. Figaro let out a light laugh before he turned to his army "The Black Market is ours! The entire economy of No Man's Land belongs to us! We will install our own merchants and smugglers... THIS CITY WILL BE OURS!" cheers full of bloodlust followed.

Sunlight seriously did burn.
She wore a maniacal grin -- marching in at Figaro`s side with the massive army of Conqueror Worm troops. The grin on her face seemed as if it would take up her entire face as his first order filled her ears -- kill them all. She grabbed the first trader she saw, whom looked completely scared out of his mind, and tossed him forcefully onto her ground. One of her metallic spider legs raised, dropping down and penetrating the man`s chest cavity completely. His crimson plasma stained the end of her robotics, but she didn`t seem to notice. She stabbed into the corpse several times over in different places, grinning at the mess she had made. "Doink! Crit-a-cal kill ~! God, I`m such a B.A."

By the time she had finished off that one trader, the army of Conqueror Worm footmen had finished off the rest, leaving the streets of the Black Market desolate and ringing with the sound of lustful cheers. Spanner joined in, raising an enthusiastic fist, her body meanwhile danging idly from her towering limbs.

So this was the next best place to be! The Market place was a string foothold and if they lost this, then they would starve! Well Matt the Badass will not allow that! Never ever ever! He was man of his word and he was going to end this along with the two Japanese people! He had his hammer ready, and saw a woman one huge Spider legs, well why waste time? He twirled the sledge hammer in his hands before going right for Spanner to knock her down.

After a bit of deliberation, Masaru had had Mariko stay at their apartment, much to her protests--the woman had a fever, as he had discovered, and he didn't want her fighting in that condition. As he entered the street, two Worm soldiers in particular stuck out--a girl on what seemed to be spider legs, and a man in a bright white suit. It seemed that Matt was already taking on the spider girl, so Masaru figured that he might as well fight suit guy. But first, he'd have to get through the crowd of Worm cannon fodder. Not wanting to attract too much attention to himself, and figuring that his guns would be too loud, he pulled out his katana, slicing and dicing his way flawlessly through the hordes of soldiers, and making a path for himself over towards Figaro. When he finally got through the crowd, he charged at Figaro's back, the only sound being that of his footsteps as they brushed over the concrete as he charged at the white-suited man, blade at the ready.

Spanner had been caught up in her cheering - she almost didn`t notice a boy tumbling straight at her with a sledge hammer.
"Huhwhat--!" She caught sight of him, her eyes widening before her spider legs shot her straight into the air to avoid his attack. She dangled idly from where her mechanics held her, staring down at her assailant. She abruptly lowered, stopping straight in front of Matt, her face inches apart from his. "Woah. Hey there, sweetness! You ain`t gankin` me that easily, though!" She grinned wickedly to mask her fear -- she was not the fighting type. She hacked stuff. She was only here because Jade told her to be! Oh, shit. Thinking about it -- if she knew the Family was going to be here, she would have brought her laptop to hack into their cybernetics! Too late now. Spanner`s robotics send her scuttling backwards rapidly, trying to avoid any other possible attacks this maniac with a sledge hammer could throw her way.

Figaro stood there, his back turned to Hattori "..." you couldn't even tell if he knew his opponent was even there. Just as Hattori got into range, a whole crowd of Conqueror Worm footmen tackled him, or rather, they were Carnival of Crime footmen who now worked for Conqueror Worm. Figaro then turned to the man after his footmen had tackled him "I knew The Family would send people like you..." the man spoke in a dark voice. He then pointed his umbrella out at Hattori "How about we calm down... perhaps have some tea? I don't care much for fighting..." he told the assassin with a smile.

Matt went in a circle from the sheer force he did, and looked up at the pale ass woman on the spider legs. "Eck... Your... Huh... Not completely ugly, but those teeth... UGH! What are you eating lass!?" Matt said as he covered his mouth and nose from the smell of her breath! "Alrighty then!" Matt said before he was surrounded, so he approach it like whack a mole! One and two, and three and four! He was stabbed a couple of times, but Matt was sprayed with blood and guts that he looked like a maniac!

Masaru managed to avoid one or two of the footmen, but was still tackled to the ground all the same. He managed to wriggle his way out from under the pile of footmen and stood up again, but didn't attack. He kept his blade at the ready, but looked at Figaro with a glare, and spoke,
"So says that man who eliminated most of the people in this market. We can't let fool-hardy people like you take over as you please."

Figaro tapped the tip of his umbrella against the ground next to Hattori "Oh you misunderstand me boy..." he spoke to the assassin "I always get what I want, there is nothing you can do about that... I am a man with exquisite tastes. However unlike most of you simpletons... I have a distaste for violence. Look at the current situation boy... you are surrounded by thousands of men... you are not in the situation to fight me. So why not have a cup of tea, perhaps talk about a joyous conversation topic? Love perhaps?" he asked the man "I have quite the nice little flower shop in No Man's Land, I could perhaps supply you with some beautiful flowers to give to a loved one... yes?" he smiled to him "Oh... and don't even try to get up and fight me... I'll kill you if you try." he added rather politely.

"Don't you look down on me...I'm not just a 'boy'!" Masaru glared at Figaro, but didn't make a move yet. The mention of love had made him stop for a moment.
Mariko.
He had to remember that she wasn't there for him this time around. He had to be more careful. He paused, then, his face softened slightly. If he was going to get out of this, he was going to have to play his cards right.
"Still...talking to somebody with a brain for once would probably be nice. What do you say we call a little truce?"

Figaro smiled at Hattori when he seemed to appreciate a good talk "Ah that's better... I have not had a nice conversation in some time... so many of you criminals try to kill me right off the bat." he didn't underestimate Hattori, he knew the assassin would strike eventually. But he boded his time, he motioned for the footmen to get off of Hattori, and they did. Figaro lifted his hat off from his head, then pulled two cups of tea from it "Here you go boy- oops, mister." he told the assassin as he handed him the cup of tea "So is there anyone special in your life...?" he asked with a grin.

Masaru still planned to kill Figaro once the opportunity presented itself--but he knew that for now, he would have to go along with this whole charade of peace. He knew that the man still had something up his sleeve--Worm officers weren't idiots. As much as Masaru hated them, he knew that much.
He stood up, brushing himself off, and then looked to Figaro, raising an eyebrow when the two cups of tea came out of the man's hat. Well. That was strange. He took the cup of tea that was offered to him, but didn't drink from it yet. He wasn't much of a fan of tea. He almost tried to correct Figaro again on the 'boy' thing when the man slipped up, but seemed somewhat satisfied when Figaro corrected himself.
"Special in my life, hm...?" he replied to the question he was asked. "...Yes. There is. I have somebody who is very special to me." He didn't go into more detail. He didn't want Mariko to be targetted or anything, after all.

Figaro shot a glare to two Crime Carnival footmen, who then brought two chairs for the two officers to sit on. When Spanner and whomever she was fighting continued to duke it out, they would be drinking tea. Figaro tilted his head to the side after Hattori spoke "Ah so you do have someone... and you're not going to go into any specifics I can tell. No need to tell me her name or anything, I don't care about the people anyways. How is your relationship?" he asked as he took a sip of tea "You must have some interesting stories, especially in a city like this...!" he said with a smile.

"I'd say that it's a fairly stable relationship," Masaru replied, remaining serious, and not sitting down in the chair that was brought for him. He didn't want to take any chances--if the chair was rigged with something, then sitting down on it wouldn't be good at all. "Why do you ask? Do you make a habit out of asking about the love life of every person that comes to attack you?" After seeing Figaro take a sip of the tea, Masaru hesitated slightly, but then took just the tiniest sip of his own tea, but made a bit of a face after. Nope. Still not a fan of tea.

Spanner recoiled, covering her mouth as her face flushed at his comment. "WTF?! You can`t just say that to people! Wha- I- yOU DICKMUNCHER." She shouted, looking back down at him only to see he was currently bashing heads off her footmen. descending one of her mechanical legs down on him, only to miss by an inch. She made a sound of distaste, trying to remove her limb from the ground, when she looked over to check on Figaro. He was having tea with his assassin. I -- wow. He did not give a single fuck. He was having tea with an assassin. Figaro was such a king. "Dude -- look. They`re having tea! Isn`t that sweet?! Why can`t we just have tea --?!" Again, she wasn`t sure how much she wanted to sit down and have tea with this guy. Covered in blood and guts, he wasn`t exactly a pretty sight..

"It's true! Use Colgate, or Toms!" Matt mentioned as the woman recoiled and covered her mouth. "No your a dick muncher! Your breath is proof!" Matt shouted up at her, now while he was busy with the footman he jumped slightly when the legs barely missed him. That wouldn't have been a pretty sight. Although he didn't look all that good right now. When Matt looked over at Figaro and his partner for this assignment Matt steamed. "OI! What in blazes are you doing!?" Matt said, the Irish accent popping in before he just sat down with his hammer, and wiped the blood off of his face. "What? You wanna have tea with me Miss?" Matt asked with a single raised eyebrow. "Okay." Matt said as he crossed his legs.

Figaro nodded to Hattori, then raised his eyebrows at Hattori when he took a sip of tea, he didn't seem to like that "You don't seem to enjoy tea... well you are a mafioso, how about this... would you like some wine instead? Surely The Family has exquisite tastes!" it was already obvious that if Hattori said yes Figaro would probably just take it out of his hat too. He arched an eyebrow to the assassin a moment later when he asked if he had a habit out of asking about his opponent's love lives "Why yes... yes I do, but not just love. Any other pleasant subject is good, animals, food, the arts... people just seem to be more passionate about their love lives though, which is why I always ask that first!" he replied to the assassin with a smile "So do you want some wine or not? Might as well open a nice bottle if one of us is going to die here today!"

"I don't drink alcohol," he said after hesitating for just a moment. Admitting it was embarrassing as hell, but he knew that his small body would get drunk off wine in no time if he drank any, so there was no way he was going to take any chances with that. He listened to Figaro's explanation, then raised an eyebrow at the man, surprised. "If you hate fighting so much, then why are you so sure that one of us is going to die? And on that matter, I don't plan on dying today. I've got somebody to go back to--like I told you."

Figaro's smile grew when Hattori said he didn't drink "Oh... then what do you drink...? I would like to accommodate you... or perhaps something to eat...?" he asked the man, though it was obvious he was holding in laughter concerning Hattori not drinking. He only stopped being so light-hearted when Hattori asked why Figaro was so sure that one of them would die "Well I said might die... other than that. Let's be serious here, you're not going to leave here until your faction controls The Black Market again... and you won't get me to leave either... so logically the only way this could end is if one of us die..." he told the assassin "But for now we can relax... it might work out for the better, perhaps I will leave if I find that my allies are not doing so well on other fronts."

"Alright, then...well...how's your love life?" Masaru imitated Figaro's question from earlier, figuring that maybe he could talk the man into retreating, if they got into a good enough conversation.

Figaro took his hat off against and handed Hattori a glass of water "My love life... well I'm afraid I am too eccentric and old to really find anyone special. I did take it to raise my nephew like he was my own... I tried my best to shelter him from my criminal life... to turn him into the opposite of me. Unfortunately I could never have a kid of my own...
