Two Anbu hunt the wasp [mission/Daemon]

Mission Specs:

The scroll had come in quite early in the morning, before the suns light could fully shine and half of its beauty were still covered by the horizon. Another mission had been requested of Hira. It would appear that there was a lord who is supposedly a target of the Tilean Wasp, an infamous person whom Hira had heard some rumors about. The scroll didn't state a whole lot of info on the Wasp himself other than the fact he is a master of disguise and sabotage and was dangerous. Of course with Hira's skill, and the added fact that another Anbu ranked shinobi would be accompanying him, he felt little to no nervousness over this assignment. After re-reading the scroll over a few times he proceeded downstairs and threw on his Anbu black ops armor but left on his mask for now although he intended to put it on later.

He strapped his two trusty swords to his belt, and his ninja pouch to his leg before quickly proceeding out the door. He made his way towards the village gates, this was the intended rendezvous point where he was to meet up with the other operative of the mission. He had little info on his squad mate but he figured they would have time to greet each other when they met up at the gates within the hour. There weren't many people out at this early in the morn, but even so Hira couldn't help but admire the beauty of the village as it slept. Since he had left his mother and ventured here alone, he has called this place home. He arrived at the village gates around 6am and as there was no other shinobi around, he deduced that he had made it here before his squad mate. While he had some spare time, he drew his Mizuryuugatana and began some basic swordsmen practice. This weapon was special to him in more ways than just one. It was a momento, of his lost friend Night and the spirit that he had. The ability for it to sharpen itself when infused with Hira's chakra was incredible. He had served him very well in his years of ownership and today, it would serve him well once again.

Daemon would step out of the shadows of a building to the meeting point. He could be clearly seen wearing the typical cloak of the Anbu. Underneath was of course his armor and his own normal yet trusty blade. He arrived just on time as his partner for the mission had also arrived. Lowering his hood he thought it was perfect time to speak.

Nodding first Daemon would take notice of the voice changing software, "I'm sure you know my real name but seeing as that can't be used you can call me falcon." You could understand why he would want to be called that his mask of course matched his name and his usage of Wind Release further back the stipulation.

"To my understanding we're suppose to be tracking the Tilean Wasp am I correct?" Daemon would stand confidently as his voice echoed even more proudly. He was known as the Anbu Black Op's, New Generation solider one of which work quiet closely with the Mizukage. He would himself study his companion one who he has encountered several times but never have the privilege to interact first person.

"I think this mission will be an easy success for the both of us seeing as we're both from the Ops their should be much trouble... I am ready to depart whenever you are and I see you a man of swordsman ship like myself that's amazing." A smile flashed crossed his face as he grew anxious to start the mission, "That Wasp won't know what hit him."

A few slashes of his sword sliced the air, the blade a shiny silver metal made of carbonated steel. Hira quickly returned it to it’s sheathe as his partner emerged from the shadows. He was clad his anbu cloak just as Hira was except his mask was already on while Hira’s was attached to his belt. As he approached, he lowered his hood; this was most likely so that he could speak to Hira in a more formal manner.  He stated that he would like to be called Falcon, a codename that probably had some underlying meaning with which Hira may discover later. Hira had not come up with a codename but at this point it was most likely irrelevant. Before speaking, Hira equipped his mask and initiated the voice changing software programmed within it. ”Very well, Falcon it is. You may just call me Hira for the extension of the assignment.” Hira’s normal moniquer was “The Demon of Waterfalls” a name he had earned quite some time ago when he slaughtered five jounin ranked Takigakure ninja, however, this name was too long to be used as a codename and he was unsure if his partner was aware of this name but he most likely was.

Falcon seemed informed on the Tilean Wasp so that was a plus, in Hira’s opinion information can be just as important to a shinobi as skill. However the Wasp himself was not in fact their primary objective on this mission, so Hira felt perhaps he should address this just to be clear. He spoke clearly to his partner ”While I admire your enthusiasm, and while I agree with our combined skill that taking down this Wasp character would be fairily easy we must remember that is not our primary objective. Our primary objective is to protect the lord who requested our services, as he believes he is the Wasps next target. Secondly, I feel as though we shouldn’t expect this Wasp character to be ready for a straight out fight. The info scroll listed him as a master of disguise and sabotage; this leads me to believe we should be on the lookout for indirect conflict. It would also be safe to assume that he has henchmen within his service so be on the lookout for that as well. Stay on your toes at all times and investigate any suspicious activity, but, do not leave the lord unattended. It is our job to ensure he lives, and once he arrives we may depart.”

The lord who had requested their services should be arriving shortly and once he was there with them they would be able to set off. The info scroll didn’t say much about the client but Hira figured he was someone of wealth in order to afford two A-ranked escorts like Hira and Falcon. The scroll also hadn’t said much about their destination, this would be info Hira would have to inquire about upon the clients arrival.

"Ahh ok... I see high class escort mission with the possibility of running into the Tilean Wasp. Still uh fun I guess. We'll of it makes sense." Daemon let a light chuckle escape his mouth. The client must be positive in his deduction of himself being the next target. Two A rank ninja was astounding for just normal escort detail. Normally something of this status consisted of a joy in and his squad but today the two were... lucky???

Well the faster this was over the better Daemon did worry about the well being of the client but what's to say he hasn't already been compromised? These were questions to be revealed within the next few moments but now notify his partner of his suspicions, "Hira what is the protocol of assessing if a client/target has been compromised? To all we know the Tilean Wasp could be hidden within the escort crew."

His question was something to be considered figure as this mission was required to think a step ahead... The Wasp could have already set his plan in motion it would be good if the pair had caught on to something before the mission had even commenced. To the normal eye this idea would of been seen as far fetched but to the pair who are known as men of the Op's, they were taught to expect the unexpected.

"Ahh as far as skill I have recently gained some knowledge in the area of sensory. I hardly doubt that it would help but hey there's an option. Also if you don't remember I specialize in the natures of water and wind which could be useful for defense." He spoke in a more silent tone as the activity around the two began to pick up as eyes wandered around the both of them.

What Falcon said made sense in its own right. The wasp was a master of disguise after all so deciding upon a way to distinguish friend from foe would be an invaluable asset. Hira doubted the would need to worry about that just yet however as the chances that the wasp has already infiltrated would be quite low. "We won't need to worry about that just yet, I can assure you the lord and his crew are safe and sound. The wasp wouldn't dare attempt an infiltration inside the village due to the fact that he knows we are on the watch for him. No, he will wait until he can use the cover of the forest." Just as he finished his statement, the client appeared. He was a shorter elderly man, easily recognizable as a man who was well off in the wealth department due to the fanciness of his dress and carriage hauled along by two younger looking men. As he approached Hira said one last thing to Falcon. "I to specialize in water release but I also have fire release for the record."

[coor=blue]"Welcome my lord, we are here to escort you safely to your intended destination. You can be certain that we will protect your life even if it cost you your own."[/color] The standard motto of the shinobi. Hira had been used to saying these exact words to each client while happening upon a mission such as this.Hira felt that it instilled a feeling of trust and security into the clients, which couldn't help. Anything that made the trip easier was welcomed. "Nice to meet you, I know how you black ops are about names so we will leave those out for now. I say we get a move on, Im not getting any younger!" Hira simply nodded as they prepared to depart. He stationed himself at the rear while motioning for Falcon to take the front. Hira expected an attack to come from the sides where the trees of the forest can be used as cover but protecting the front and rear would be an ideal maneuver to cover the four sides most effectively.
