Part 1
In the year 2XX, most if not all of Suna went above Around 50 or so years ago. The thing that was causing the Diamond Maelstrom was now dead and Sunagakure moved back to the surface, creating a practical utopia up on the surface while still having this sprawling city underground. But the ruins of the old village, the pieces that had not been relocated above ground still remain below the newly built Suna. The Ruins of Old Suna now house creatures, criminals, those trapped in poverty and those that refused to make the transition above ground.
This ruin is where I lived! Migi Jakki - also known as speedy. What do I do down here you may be asking yourself. Well I am one of those friendly neighborhood tech guy or weapons engineers if you wanna call me that too. So here's what's shaking, basically I’m down here at this rundown weapons shop fixing up whatever I can find as well as a few things my crew sends down here for me to fix up. After dealing mostly in tools in my spare time, I decided to focus most of my time in making weapons since tools are just a thing people rarely use nowadays. So I decided to focus my crafting skills in making weapons, my speciality, ranged weapons of course. Need puppet arms with built in swords in them? No problem. Want a big ass gun? Piece of cake. Sword gun? Hell yeah. Could even make a few melee fighting weapons if you come right here just for my kind of fighting, I prefer just a little distance between me and my opponent. Besides, guns are a powerful tool if you wanna intimidate people because they are fast. One pull, bam! You’re dead. Blades were too slow for my taste and ninjutsu did just a bit too much damage for it to do the job of intimidating people. Plus guns were way cooler, everyone knew that or at least in my opinion were just more badass.
But enough about guns, let's get to the meat of the matter here. I’m over here in my shop, messing with some augmentations that I was adding to a little project that I was working on while playing a little synthpop song in the background. A little feel good song about creating your own light, as girly as girly gets but there was enough doom outside. Why not lighten up the place with a little pop?
Bobbing my head to the beat of the song while I worked with the radio screaming this song on repeat, that was when I started to hear some actual screaming from outside which made me roll my eyes as I began using my welding tool to melt a gun and a bayonet together so it could be used for fighting from afar or in close quarters combat Though the yelling that was starting cut into the feel-good vibes that I was trying make with the song was starting to get a bit too much for me to ignore. With a loud sigh, I picked up my shotgun then I began heading to the front door. Pumping it just to hear that satisfying chick-chick sound as I opened the door to my rundown weapons shop to see a few goons covering Lucky while she was smacking around some succubi looking broad who was yelling because the rabbit had the working girl by the horn. This was more than enough to get my interest since not only was there a cat-fight going on but if the boss was involved in smacking around someone there had to be a story behind it. Among the goons was Fin, my best sharkman friend and possibly the easiest person to talk to since most of the goons here I had no idea about.
Walking up to Fin, I gave him a little tap on the shoulder to get his attention and he turned to me. “Aye Speed, you seeing this?” he lowered himself down to whisper to me.
“Yeah.stretch a lobe with me and tell me what's up.” I said, using a little slang that I learned from a comic book that I had read.
“Home girl is just into some shit with Lucky.” Fin explained, keeping one of his fish eyes on the situation unfolding in front of him while the other was trained on me. “She was working with these ally's without asking the Queen Rabbit, it's been happening for like weeks now with these strange girls working on Lucky's turf-” turning his full attention to the scene unfolding in front of them, Fin shrugged. “Guess Lucky like… had enough of it.”
Now that I was all caught up to speed on what was happening, we both kept our mouths shut to just watch how this plays itself out. Smacking the succubi again, Lucky raised her finger to the working girl before growling through clenched teeth,clearly getting tired of interrogating the prostitute and was about ten seconds away from having her goons rough the bitch up. “I’m gonna ask you this one more time thot, then I’m gonna get these boys over here to break your legs! Who the fluff sent you to work on my block!?” she finally decided to use her goons as a threat to get the girl talking. While me and Fin were as friendly looking- or at the very least we looked like we had some. The guys around us weren't as friendly looking, heck there was even this hulking tiger man who was licking his maw and began telling the goons around him how much he would want a piece of that. That right there was cringe worthy and if need be I would have to step up because Tigerman over here was a bit too predatory for Migi’s taste.
It was a miracle but the prostitute finally gave up who the pimp was that had her working on Luckys turf “I-it was Saburou! Saburou goddammit!”
“There we go, my hand was starting to sting from rearranging your ugly mug, thot. Fin! Speed!” Lucky hissed then snapped her fingers which made the two stand up straight when hearing the commanding voice of the rabbit. “Show that son-of-a-hare what happens when you mess with Luckys money. Send me that message and yall get 30k in yen each.”
With the bounty placed on old Saburou, Lucky looked down at the succubi. “Leave the thot to me….”
Clearing my throat, I decided that I had to speak up since we did need her for one thing. “Hey Lucky. Shouldn’t she be tagging along with us since she would know like… where Saburou lives or hangs out at.” I said which made Lucky relax her grip on the prostitute's horn to give me a stern look. “Look, she knows the john better than me or Fin do. Neither of us are anbu so if you want this lesson to be taught in the next 24 hours rather than waiting days for something let us take the thot with us. Why eat crumbs when you can use it as bait for the big fish yanno?”
That was enough to make Lucky pause for a moment to think, looking back at the frighten eyes of the succubi with her face scrunched up as though to say ‘you got lucky this time’ before rudely snatching her hand away from the prostitutes horn then looking the succubi up and down. “Y’all got 24 hours or you mother-fluffers ain’t getting shit!” she screamed at the succubi loud enough to make her jolt.. mostly due being sprayed by spit and that Lucky’s breath was as funky as James Brown’s music. Lucky left without another word along with the rest of her goons, tigerman feeling the need to creepily stroke the succubus's chin before going into the building to keep Lucky's office guarded. That touch made me and Fin cringe.
Fin stepped up, bending down to the prostitute’s level to apologize, clearing his throat first. “Ahem.. As a high ranking goon of this gang, I would like to be the first to give you a grand apology for the thoughts and conduct of the tigerman.” Fin said gently. “Me and speedy here respect all women. Yanno number sign girl power and we also appreciate everything that you do for our underground city as an escort. You… are really making the world a better place miss….. Miss….”
“Fin! Why are you simping right now....” I held my head, already feeling the beginnings of a headache coming on.
“You see, now that is what we don’t do. Please excuse my friend's toxic masculinity, he is still learning my ways. Please if you could lead the way....” Fin said, trying to play the good thug in our little dynamic.
The escort seemingly had gotten comfortable enough to at least talk to us, her face was still a pinkish grey from being smacked around by Lucky but that didn't stop her from trying to put the moves on Fin. "Well~ sweetie if you want that information what cha gonna do for me?"
Fin gave her a maniacal shark smile, already going into his pocket to see if he had any cash on him but me already seeing the con– I got in between them then, looked at the escort. "How about we assure that you don't get smacked up by Lucky or your pimp for that matter."
The succubus would then roll her eyes at me. "You suck, fine let's go but you guys better protect me."
"Sure, you got a name. Honestly the only nick I can come up Lickitty but that sounds–" she cut me off before I could say anything else.
"Lickitty? That's fire!"
"Lickitty it is then."
"How about–" Fin was trying to come up with a nickname himself but me and Lickitty both cut Fin off by both yelling 'No' to him. Once it was settled that the escort's new name was Lickitty we all began to head down to the red light district where.
