72 Street Fight

Back with Green and Amelia, the two were laying in the sofa having their moments, until it was cut off when they heard something or someone singing.

As Green gets off the couch and heads for the door, he looks through the door's peephole and sees Albert who was still singing coldly.

"🎶Build it up with wood and clay. Wood and clay, wood and clay. Build it up with wood and clay🎶"

*Crack!*

Albert snapped over the door at an inhumane speed, looking like he snapped his neck! White dots bore through the peephole and right into Green's very soul, as if threatening to tear him apart with the evil gaze.

"...My.... fair..... lady." 

Green's eyes widen with a bit of fear and quickly backs away from the door.

"They found us."

"What?!"

They both then hear a smash sound, both turn to see an axe blade piercing through the door.

"I'm coming for you!" Albert screamed like a cold-blooded killer as he continued to smash the door with the axe.

Stepping a few steps back, Green looked around but couldn't find his Gallock pistol. 

"Where's the pistol?"

"We lost it at the park."

"Great."

After her words, Albert was able to smash the door open and had now entered the room but saw no one. 

"Where the bloody hell are they?" Albert asked cluelessly, but then he saw the window open. 

Thinking they might escape, he went for it and looked down and was able to see them running. 

"Well this is going to be a long night." 

Meanwhile, as Amelia and Green were running down the alleyway, they managed to exit quickly and they were now on the street. Both of them took a moment to catch their breath and then they spotted Rodeo approaching them. 

"What are you guys doing here?" Rodeo asked.

"The guy in the bird mask was after us, so we had to leave the apartment." Green answered, still trying to catch some breath.

"Where's Miguel?" Amelia asked.

"Oh! He's found a way to exit the city without the enemy noticing us so let's go!"

Waving his hand, he gestured to the two to follow him.

"Hold up." Green spoke.

"What is it?"

"Do you know SCP-023?"

"Uhhh of course I do."

"....Then tell me what it looks like?" 

"It's uhhh...."

"You're not the real Rodeo are you?"

Letting out a sigh, Rodeo suddenly gave out a smirk on his always stoic face, which never happened before, "...So you found out?" 

Followed by his words, Rodeo in front of them turned into a cloud of smoke and it turns out it was the Spy. 

"I admire your quick mind, Agent Green."

Bringing out his sword and knife, he holds them both and spins them around his fingers.

"But it will only get you this far."

But then, Amelia and Green heard footsteps behind them, they turned around to see Albert approaching them while holding the axe. 

"End of the line." He coldly mutters and moves forward menacingly.

As he took a few steps forward, a sudden danger announced on his nerves.

"Killa!!"

"Hola!!"

Before Albert and Spy could even react, the two got punched in the face by Rodeo and Miguel and were sent flying a few meters away. 

After seeing they were taken care of, Amelia notices a stab wound on Rodeo's right shoulder and she asks. 

"Where were you two? And Rodeo what happened to your shoulder?"

"Spy surprise attacked us." Miguel answered first.

"And got a lucky shot on my shoulder and ran away." Rodeo finished.

As they were about to leave, the four then saw Albert and Spy getting up from the ground and looking at them menacingly. 

"..."

"Let's dance!" Spy and Miguel said to each other.

"Let's fuckin' go!" Rodeo and Albert included.

As the battle begins, Miguel places his hand inside a shadow being cast by a lamppost and brings out a Shadow Katana before charging at Spy, same as Rodeo as he charges at Albert. 

Spy, at fast speeds charged at Miguel and did a downward swing with his sword while Miguel did an upward slash with his katana, and at this moment, both of their weapons clashed with each other, creating sparks in the process as the two glaring daggers at each other. 

"Oh please. Just drop dead already." Spy said, smirking through his helmet.

"Oh hell no." 

Miguel pushes Spy away, which he responds with a swing of his butterfly knife but Miguel parry's the attack but in his way, Spy tries to stab his face with his sword, luckily Miguel moves his head to the right dodging the attack. 

'The boy has quick reflexes, I'll give him that.' Spy thought.

Both of them take a few steps back, Miguel then brings out a dagger from the shadow of a car to use as his secondary weapon. Miguel again charged at Spy and did a downward swing with his katana but the Spy moved to the right and dodged it. Seeing an opportunity, the Spy tries to stab Miguel in the back with his butterfly knife but the Shadow Stand blocks the attack with his shadow dagger, surprising the Spy. 

"You're wide open!!"

Miguel then does an upward slash with his katana which he was able to manage to scratch Spy's chest and armor, which he is forced to take a few steps back. He looked at the slash mark on his armor's chest plate and looked at Miguel. 

"Damn you, Chienne Insolente!"

Meanwhile with Rodeo, he was dodging multiple attacks from Albert's axe which only pissed Albert off.

"Stand still! You bloody cat!"

As he continues to avoid his attacks, Rodeo then sees an opening and uppercuts him in the face before snatching away the axe from Albert's hands and blows it up to atoms. 

"Now what are you gonna do, huh?" Rodeo asked mockingly.

"I'm gonna stain my claws with your blood, kid. That's what I'm gonna do!" Albert declared and jumped towards Rodeo and slashes him with his claws but Rodeo side stepped to the right, dodging it and did a fast left jab on his face, he then quickly punched him in the gut twice and a right hook on his face before giving him a left uppercut and lastly a forward kick, making Albert take a few steps back. 

'What's his Stand's ability? Is he saving it for the right time? Looks like I'll have to wait and see then.' Rodeo thought.

Gazing at Albert to see his next action, the British man then pulls out something from his top hat, which was...

What the!?

Its a fucking Minigun!

"NANI?!?!

"It's a good time to run." Albert said with a cold smile.

[GIF]

Pulling the trigger, the Minigun started firing hundreds of rounds and Rodeo quickly took cover behind a car. 

*BRRRRT!!*

'This guy's nuts! He's firing a weapon on an open street and I think his top hat might have some sort of ability to bring weapons out of nowhere.... is this his Stand's ability? No, I think there's something more to his Stand!' Rodeo thought while taking cover behind a car.

Albert kept firing on the car that Rodeo was taking cover behind, but then the Minigun stopped firing. 

The barrel had overheated. 

Taking advantage of this, Rodeo quickly runs towards Albert and drops kicks him, making him let go of the Minigun from his grasp and Rodeo blows the Minigun up to atoms. 

Albert hurriedly did a downward slash but Rodeo moved to the left and dodged it. Albert then does an upward slash but Rodeo quickly takes a step back and dodges his attack again. Rodeo did a right hook but Albert ducks from the attack and then gives an uppercut to Rodeo, stunning him for a bit. 

"Even with those unhealed wounds you're still fighting. You got some guts, kid."

"Thanks."

After massaging his chin, Rodeo quickly sends a punch but Albert blocks it with the palm of his right hand, but Rodeo does a flip kick on Albert and quickly jumps towards him and does a superman punch. 

"Ugh!" Rodeo felt a sting on his right leg and saw one of the wounds on his knee were reopening. He looked at Albert but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Where the hell did he go?"

"Up here mate."

Rodeo looked and saw Albert was floating in the air and was holding a Glock pistol in his right hand. 

"He can fly!?"

Aiming the gun, Albert started firing the pistol at him, but Rodeo quickly did multiple backflips to dodge the shots till he back flipped over a car and took cover behind it. 

"This guy really likes to use weapons and attack from afar." Rodeo mumbles.

Meanwhile, Miguiel was parrying multiple thrust and slash attacks from Spy's sword and knife with his Shadow katana and Dagger. 

Their weapons clashed once again and Miguel did a Sparta kick on Spy's chest before did downward slash with his katana but Spy parries the attack with his knife and with quick reflexes, he manages to stab Miguel on the right shoulder with his sword. 

Miguel grunts, "Shit!"

In response, Miguel stabbed Spy in the leg area with his dagger where the gaps of the armor weren't protecting it. 

"Ahhhhh!"

Miguel quickly takes a few steps back, Spy removes the dagger from his leg, which disappears. Miguel then charges and sends multiple slashes with his Katana at untraceable speed but Spy simply blocks the attack with his sword. 

Spy did a spin kick but Miguel ducks from the attack and as he sends a vertical slash, Spy does a horizontal slash with his knife and again their weapons clash with each other. 

"Who is telling you to do this?" Miguel questions.

"Sorry. It's not my job to tell details about my client."

Back with Rodeo, he was still hiding behind a car while Albert kept firing his Gallock pistol and standing on top of a lampost whenever Rodeo tried to take a look from behind the car. 

Amelia and Green on the other hand were watching the entire fight from the sidelines while hiding behind a car.

"You know everybody heard those shots for miles, right?" Amelia said.

Green nodded, "Which means more of Spy's gang must've heard it as well. If they come here.... we're gonna have more problems."

In the meantime, Rodeo, still hiding behind a car, then calls out Sheer Heart Attack. 

"Kocchi wo miro."

Due to the heat being produced by the lampposts, SHA proceeds to fly towards every lamppost and blow them up. SHA then went for the lampost where Albert was and blew it up to nothingness but Albert was able to float away quickly from the lampost before he could get hit by the explosion. 

Rodeo, seeing the time is now, quickly jumps on top of a car and jumps towards Albert who was still floating in the air and kneed him in the face and grabbed the back of his head.

With full force, he throws Albert back to the ground while Rodeo safely lands back on the ground. There was a car behind Rodeo but he ignored it, but then suddenly he felt he was being grabbed by some invisible force by the throat.

"What the?!"

In confusion, Rodeo turned his head around to see the Hanged Man on the car's window as he was grabbing his throat by using his reflection. 

Albert got up and saw Rodeo and the Hanged Man. Albert smirks behind his mask and cracks his knuckles before proceeding to punch Rodeo in the face and then in the gut before slashed to his chest with his claws. 

"I'm gonna enjoy this."

Then, Albert pulled out something from his top hat and it was an electric baton. He proceeds to electrocute Rodeo with it.

*Crackle!*

*Tsssss!*

"Ahhhh!" Rodeo cries out in pain. 

"Don't worry mate, cats have nine lives! Getting rid of one is not a problem for you!" Albert laughs maniacally and continue to electrocute him.

"Hey!"

Feeling a presence behind him, Albert turned around and was met by a shovel to the face by Green, knocking his hat off his head and sending it flying in the air while Albert fell on the ground rubbing his head. 

"Rodeo, the glass! Break it and close your eyes."

Following his words, Green closed his eyes and Rodeo followed with Green smashed the glass with the shovel, forcing the Hanged Man to jump towards the glass of a window of another car which was at the end of the street. 

(Music Stops) 

As Spy kicks Miguel away from him, he then spotted Albert's top hat in the air and sees multiple items falling out of the hat due to the winds forcing the hat to spin around violently. But then something fell out of the hat that caught everyone's attention. 

A Stand Arrow. 

"Oh no. THE ARROW!!!!"

Before Spy could make a move, Miguel was quick so he jumped into a shadow and came out of the shadow of a chimney on a rooftop and jumped off of it and tried to grab the arrow. 

But Spy pulls the trigger on his revolver, the Ambassador and was able to get a clean shot on Miguel's left leg, messing his momentum and angle as he crashes into the window of a building. 

Green, Rodeo and Amelia saw the arrow falling back to the ground and ran towards it. Albert got up and was about to stab both of them in the back with his claws but Rodeo turned around and grabbed his arms and headbutts him. 

As he dealt with the British dude, Rodeo saw Spy was about to shoot Green and Amelia with his revolver but he then quickly yeeted Albert towards Spy and crashed into him.

As Rodeo called Sheer Heart Attack back to his left hand, Green and Amelia saw the Arrow was about to fall to the ground. Green was the closest and saw the arrow was about to hit the ground but he quickly grabbed it with both of his hands.

But...

His right hand was way too close to the arrow's sharp head and when he moved his right hand a little, his thumb touched the arrow head and gave him just a tiny cut to his thumb.

*Thud!*

In an instant, Green coughed out blood and collapsed on the ground and dropped the arrow as well. 

""GREEN!!""

When Miguel jumped out of the building's window and landed back on the ground, he saw Green lying on the ground. 

"Oh no."

Miguel, Amelia and Rodeo run up to Green and kneel next to him. Rodeo grabs the arrow but makes sure not to touch the arrow head. Amelia meanwhile tried to check his pulse... but got nothing. 

"No. No. No. Green! Wake up!" Amelia shouted anxiously and rested her head on his chest to check for his heartbeat if there was just a faint heartbeat. 

But nothing. 

Miguel murmured, "I think the arrow....."

"He's not dead! Please wake up, Green!!" 

Turning around, Rodeo sees Albert and Spy getting up from the ground. Immediately, Rodeo opens his hollow stomach compartment and throws another jar of dirt at them.

"Switch on!"

The jar exploded and the entire area got covered in a cloud of dust. Miguel carries Green over his shoulders, not giving a damn about the bullet wound and they quickly leave the area. 

Once Spy and Albert wave away the dust and see they are gone, Spy's right eye twitches in anger and then looks at Albert with a furious look.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GLUE THAT DAMN HAT TO YOUR HEAD?!"

"WELL EXCUSE ME! YOU TOLD ME NOT TO USE MY STAND's DANGEROUS ABILITY AGAINST THEM BECAUSE OF HOW DEADLY IT IS! IF I HAD USE THAT WE COULD HAVE GOT THAT BLOODY DOCTOR AND WE WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID RIGHT ABOUT NOW!! AND YOUR DAMN PLAN ISN'T WORKING!!!"

Albert proceeds to pick up his top hat from the ground and puts it back on his head. Then a beam of light jumped into Spy's knife and he saw it was the Hanged Man. 

"Well you barely did anything." Spy angrily said.

"Look man. First, I can travel only in a linear pattern rather than a zig zag one so it took me some time to get here and second I'm still trying to get used to my abilities." The Hanged said.

He continued, "Three it was a bad idea to keep the Stand arrow in Albert's pocket dimensional top hat but no, you were afraid that your client might steal it if we left it at the warehouse and that he might turn back on our deal. Four, we underestimated our opponents intelligence and now the Foundation knows our faces because of Killer Queen and Black Sabbath. And last but not least, we have now lost both the Arrow and Dr. Buck."

Spy lets out a deep sigh in frustration, "You're right. But their only means of getting out of the city is to get a car running and their only car is at the park but I'm pretty sure they won't go there because they know that's the last place where we will be waiting for them. So no doubt they will look for another car in the city and hotwire it. Albert, call the others with your phone and tell them what I'm about to say right now."

"Whatever you say boss." Albert sighs, he pulls out his phone and makes a call. 

As Albert is calling the others, Spy then thought to himself.

'I wonder if the arrow truly killed Green or if he went into an unconscious state.'
