Since the robbers were still in sight, it was extremely easy to catch up to them. The lead robber turned around again, although he and the other two remaining robbers stopped this time. "You again?" He said angrily. "I guess this is what happens when I let my subordinates do the job." The leader cracked his knuckles, continuing. "Like I always say, if you want a job done right, you gotta do it-"
"Shut up." Alexei was suddenly directly in front of the lead robber, his sword pressed against the thief's throat. "Listening to you blab is getting boring." The lead robber sputtered, sweat pouring down his face. "Stop," he began anxiously, "Or you'll regret it!"
"Regret what?" Alexei said, his eyes devoid of compassion.
"Nobody will miss you." "But-" the robber began, only to be cut off by Alexei striking him in the neck with the flat edge of the sword. As he fell to the ground, sputtering and choking, Alexei turned his attention to the other two robbers. "Would you like to try?" He asked simply. The two other robbers looked at each other, gulped, and began running at Alexei, who sighed. "Figures." Pointing his sword towards one robber, he muttered, "Steelshift Magic, Enlarge." The sword expanded again, suddenly impaling itself into the robber's chest. Swinging his sword to the left, Alexei carved out of that robber and landed the blade on the other robber, cutting deeply into his arm. As both of them fell to the ground, Alexei smiled. With all the robbers out of commission, the job was over. Now he just had to wait for the authorities to get here, so he could get paid. Releasing the magic on the sword, Alexei took a seat atop the lead robber, awaiting his payment as he listened to the lead robber's groans.
