The woman with her green flames stepped closer, then stopped. Drones zigzagged overhead as, somewhere, their operators were likely bugging at what they were seeing. We werenât exactly incognito anymore.
âWhere is he?â the newcomer asked, eyes scanning our little group, settling on Death Girl. âIf youâre here, I think I have my answer.â
âYou probably think right,â Ria answered, âbut not because of her.â Gesturing to me, she added, âContra killed him.â
âThanks,â I hissed, feeling the weight of this ladyâs eyes on me. âAnother scout?â
âWorse, but⦠basically.â
âFuck you,â the lady said. âHe was one of us, as were you. And now what? Youâve left us⦠for them?â
Ria nodded. âThatâs right, Skinner, and so can you.â
Skinner, as apparently this lady was called, spat. âYou can go to hell. In fact, I think Iâll drag you down with me.â
âWhat the fuck are you?â a voice said, and we turned to see Gloria there, emerging from the tree line with two guards.
âItâs okay,â I said, holding up a hand to keep her back. âWe can handle this.â
âHandle what?â Gloria asked, mockingly, until a flash of green shot out, narrowly missing Ria as she dived aside so that it took one of the guards square in the chest. He fell back, a hole forming, dead before he hit the ground. The gladiator womanâs eyes went wide as she said, âFuck,â and then turned to charge Skinner.
Apparently, it was on and Gloria was leading the fight.
While she didnât have super powers, she was nimble as hell and knew her way around projectiles. Dodging, rolling, coming up with leg sweeps and punches, she was giving this Skinner lady a run for her money. When Skinner thrust out with a green metal blade that appeared in a flash of magic, Death Girl took over from the other side, her own blades emerging like sharp batons. She was a flurry of black metal and glowing gold, and then we started to get a sense of how badass Skinner was. The fight grew in intensity, with Skinner apparently feeding off of the energy so that soon she was moving even faster, so fast, in fact, that Gloria even fell back, looking like sheâd just realized the mistake in her attack.
I was guessing at this point she had come to the understanding that Skinner wasnât from around here.
With an opening, Meher tried for an ice blast but nearly caught Death Girl. Bubblegum stepped up too, but Ria pulled her hands down, shaking her head. âNot when you donât have a clear shot.â
I stepped in to try my thing, but after two good hits from Skinner I thought Iâd die. A slice of her blade hit but didnât penetrate, pain racking my body but also filling my counter strike to nearly full.
Meher sent out another blast and I was worried Iâd get hit, but the strike missed us all. No, I saw, her aim hadnât been for us, but the ground behind Skinner. Brilliant. Death Girl landed two good strikes, and then
