[center][b]Chapter 3: Advent Ambush[/b][/center]

Three figures stood on top of the maw as they saw the cloaked stranger ride his motorcycle out of it. The oldest one smirked as his long, silver hair that fell past his shoulders, his light blue eyes staring at the stranger. "My brothers, let us test this man."

The middle one grinned as he slicked back his short, brunette hair, his dark brown eyes gleaming. "Yes, big brother. Let us send the Heartless after him. What say you, little brother?"

The youngest one nodded, having dark brown hair that fell to his neck with bangs covering the right side of his face, his hazel eyes filled with excitement. "Let us send the ones from Space Paranoids. Especially those."

The oldest smirked as he looked over the maw and snapped his fingers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The stranger rode on his motorcycle as he pondered everything that has happened to him when he was rammed by a Magnum Loader. "Not again." He groaned as he aimed his rifle and shot it. More appeared, surrounding him as he slashed at one and sent it crashing to another. He then got rammed again but recovered quickly and shot three more, destroying them. The stranger then popped a wheelie, ramming against Magnum Loader, sending it crashing to another. He then shot more of them and jumped his motorcycle to the air, crashing into two more. The stranger saw that five were left and shot one that was tailing him and it crashed into another one behind it. The remaining three tried to surround him but he slashed at the one besides him, got out of the way then braked. Not expecting this, the two Heartless rode off a cliff and fell. The stranger then heard clapping from behind him, turned around and saw three young men actually riding Magnum Loaders. The three wore the same black jackets, jeans and sneakers but the tallest one had a red undershirt, the middle wore a yellow undershirt and the youngest wore a green undershirt and it was the same with the Magnum Loaders they rode. He pointed his rifle at the three. "Who are you three and what do you want?"

The oldest smirked as he shook his finger. "I'm sorry but we don't give our real names to anyone else. You may refer to me as Trio."

"I'm the middle man. Call me Tres."

"I'm the youngest. I'm known under the alias of Troix."

The stranger looked at the three, his rifle still aimed at them. "Call me Black. Now you haven't answered my second question."

"We are here about the jewel on your neck." Trio replied. "We'd like to have it and are willing to pay any price for it."

Black thought for a moment then he stared at the three. " My answer is no and I'm not changing it."

Troix looked at Black, shocked. "A-are you sure? We are offering a lot of money for it. Why would you say no?"

"Because this jewel was meant for the one I loved." Black replied. "And this is the only reminder of her that I hav now that she's gone."

Tres shook his head as he took a large rifle from his back and aimed it at Black. "Since you just made it clear that your answer's no, we're going to have to do it the hard way."

Black revved up his motorcycle and dashed off as Tres shot him and missed. Trio gave chase, leading the way with Tres following and Troix behind. Trio caught up with Black, unsheathing a large katana from his back and slashed at him. Black blocked the attack and attempted to shoot Trio in the face but he barely moved, getting his cheek scraped by the bullet. Black then dodged another shot from Tres then slashed at him but Tres managed to block the strike with his rifle. "That's an ARM, isn't it? So you have been to Filgaia. Which of the games?"

Black smirked, realizing what Tres said. "Yes it is. It's called Lombardia and it's the fifth game. And that means you three are External Interferences."

"Yes, we are." Troix said, jabbing Black on the face. He almost fell off but flipped right up to the air, his hands holding the handle bars and fell right back to his motorcycle. Black then rammed Troix, dodging shots from Tres and he kept shooting at Trio who kept blocking the bullets with his katana effortlessly. He then dudcked under a kick from Troix and slashed at Tres, cutting his arm a bit. Black blocked another attack from Trio then he rammed him and gained some distance from the three.

"Just stand still or we'll make you!" Tres growled as he kept shooting Black but kept missing.

"LIke hell I will. Just try it you Loz, Kadaj and Yazoo wannabe clones." Black taunted.

Trio stared at Black, his left eye twitching. "Did he just call us Loz,"

"Kadaj,"

"And Yazoo wannabes clones?"

Black was surprised as Troix quickly caught up to him and began attacking him furiously with his fists. Black dodged most of the blows but Tres caught up to him as well and kept shooting at him relentlessly. Trio caught up to him as well and slashed at him with great fury. Black was beggining to get tired from blocking and dodging all of their blows so with great hesitance, he placed his right hand into his cloak. The next thing the siblings knew, their Magnum Loaders were destroyed, they fell rolling to the ground and Black rode away from them.

Black soon stopped after he made sure to have gotten enough distance from the three then pulled out what looked to be a cell phone. "Those three are tough. I almost cwouldn't have made it if I hadn't used that. Guess I'll have to make a call."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pyro and Haku were looking around the town for an inn to spend the night and a tavern or bar for info. Pyro looked around the place more carefully then recognized their location. "Haku, I think we're in Amestris. You might want to hide your ears and tail or at least pass them off as costumes so they don't confuse you with a chimera."

Haku shrugged. "Let's just find a place to stay."

"All right." Pyro nodded then he found himself staring at a fire from a stove. "Pretty fire." Haku rolled her eyes then pulled Pyro along.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other side of town, Troix walked along the street, talking into his cell phone. "It is a pity we didn't claim that jewel. However, I have found the place where the two searching for the Dark Assasin are and that other one searching is here as well." He listened to the phone for a few minutes and nodded. "Yes, brother. I will see if I can earn their trust then I can finally do my part in our plans." Troix hung up then resumed walking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On top of a roof in the town, black cloaked figure stood there looking at the whole town. "Soon it'll be time for me to have fun." With a short cackle, he left through a Dark Corridor.

[b] There it is. The third chapter. The identity of the three have finally been revealed and they don't like to be compare to Loz, Kadaj and Yazoo. Any FF fan will recognize the battle scene to be similar to AC with some differences. I hoped you guys enjoy this chapter.[/b]
