The Blade versus the Bullet. March 15th 1623hrs

Dressed in a full white unitard with an aptly named visage mask, the Swan-Sister leaped into the room, moving with blinding speed. She targeted me first, snapping her foot out and kicking my arm at the wrist. Pain flashed through my forearm, followed by a tingling numbness as my gun flew from my hands, striking the far wall and dropping to the concrete.

Sammy saw it happen and started to move, but the Swan-Sister had angled her attack, and she came down in a crouch in front of him, spinning around with all the grace of a professional figure skater and sweeping his legs out from him before he could take his first step. Sammy’s body went sideways, and he crashed to the hard cement, his head rebounding off the floor just in time for her to rise up and deliver a vicious soccer kick to his face. The force of her torque spun her around in a full circle as Sammy’s head rolled back.

My gun hand was throbbing, the nerve tips along the edges of my fingers burning, but I ignored it and threw myself forward, drawing back my opposite arm and launching a heavy punch. It wasn’t my best shot, not by a long shot, and it showed. The Swan-Sister parried my punch aside with contemptuous ease and then snapped the same hand around, back fisting me in the face and sending me crashing into the wall.

At the same time, the two figures standing in the center of the room finally stirred. The suited man was gripping the coins to his chest, and he raised his feet off the floor, bringing them up to his chest as if he’d seen a mouse. The heavier of the two finally seemed to take note of what was happening and decided to intervene. He rose from the chair and took a slow, lumbering step forward, reaching out and seizing the Swan-Sister’s shoulder.

“Hey now,” he said. “That’s enough—”

The Swan-Sister jerked around and did something with his wrist. I couldn’t see what it was, but the effectiveness was clear. The heavy man let out a surprised exhalation a split second before he spun head over heels and crashed down with a heavy thud that echoed through the basement.

I tried to push myself off the wall, but my head was still ringing, and I stumbled half a step before falling to one knee. The Swan-Sister noted my movements, and her lip rose in a snarl behind her feathered mask. She took a quick step up beside Sammy’s henchmen, seized her sword, and, with a single motion, jerked it free of his back, sending a scarlet ribbon of blood onto the cement as she spun and brought it up underneath the suited man’s throat.

“Coins,” the Swan-Sister said.

The suited man’s lip trembled, and his hands were shaking so hard that the bag slipped from between his fingers, landing on the chair in between his legs. The Swan-Sister glanced down, her mouth compressing into a thin line as her fingers tightened along the sword’s grip.
