Meanwhile, the Subsido begins its venture into the surrounding chilled, stilled water of Momodore Island. The mechanism, which took the shape of a submarine, powered by a nuclear reactor, IMO insignia clear on the center. It had been deployed from K.I.’s ship. It was visible from ground level, creating ripples in the water. The Subsido stopped midway, as if waiting for another signal. Jesse felt the Subsido within the ocean. He squinted his eyes, the ground around Jesse and Rash scattered with fragments of ice, and whole bodies of ice. Yet, Rash stood in his one spot, his spot completely unaffected.
“Forget it boy, you’ll never reach me. You’re too far away,” Rash said, adjusting his sunglasses with his right middle finger. “This distance between us you will not break, if you cannot even fathom how inferior you are to me.”
Why can’t I hit him…? It’s like his body keeps fading to another course… and I can’t perceive it. Is he that fast, or am I that slow? Jesse gritted. This guy was something else, to create an illusion of wielding tens of blades, slashing surpassing that of mach speed. Rash stared nonchalantly at Jesse, whom was panting with exhaustion, sweat dripped down his nose, his blue hair drenched over his face. Rash wielded both of his swords over both of his shoulders in a cross-like fashion, mimicking an X again.
“To think an ice-man such as yourself would be emitting hot sweat. You had the choice of plunging into the ocean with your island, but you will be killed by me instead. Probably for the better, you are way too dangerous to be alive,” Rash stated coldly, raising both of his swords. His swords both began to increase in height and depth.
“Colossal Lacerate,” Rash’s tongue was sharp and concise. He withdrew both of his swords directly above his chest, which Jesse witnessed as a mirage of blades folding through means of what appeared to be astral projection. Rash connected both of the blades together by their hilts, creating a double sided black saber. Rash began twirling it, and charged head on for Jesse rapidly, which Jesse couldn’t decipher… now he was seeing projections of multiple Rash’s along a trail, however, the faster he went, the more he could not see. Before Jesse knew it, Rash was in front of Jesse, hurling his double bladed sword downward like a fan. Jesse’s eyes widened, creating a new layer of ice around his body, yet before he knew it, he, along with half of the entire southern borderline of the island, were severed in half… Rash’s hundred style slash came and went just like that. Luckily, all of the IMO soldiers around Rash had abandoned long ago, otherwise, there may have been many more casualties.
Jesse’s body fell, blood splashed yet again among the ice field. Jesse entire lower half was nearly bisected in half, which is where Rash was actually aiming, the simple backlash of his slash alone severed almost the entire borderline, chipping off a good portion of the island, and along with it, a good portion of Jesse…
Jesse coughed up blood, as he laid there, completely helpless, in a constant, building misery of anguish. Along with his midsection, his entire body was nearly severed into little snippets. What the hell kind of attack was that? Rash merely looked on, still not satisfied his target was still alive…
“I suppose I should have aimed for your head.” Rash calmly stated, twirling his double saber yet again, aiming it for Jesse’s helpless head. Jesse smiled and chuckled, Rash frowned. “Severed limb from limb, literally hanging on by a few threads, yet you still laugh. What’s funny?”
“Y-you…” Jesse started, blood seeping from his mouth. Rash raised a brow. Jesse clutched his hand around Rash’s sword. Rash’s sword began to sub atomically freeze from the core, spreading throughout the blade. Rash merely kicked Jesse’s hand, however, Rash would notice too late that Jesse had frozen his entire limb onto Rash’s sword, causing it incapable of moving. “Haven’t won yet…”
Jesse opened his mouth, it opened at preposterous lengths. Jesse’s eyes changed, revealing slits and a yellow iris. Rash grimaced, attempting to set his sword free. When he realized the effort was in vain, he disconnected the other sword by the hilt, now wielding one sword. “One or two swords, it doesn’t change the outcome of this battle.”
Jesse hissed, as within his mouth, hands began clutching his own mouth open, now supporting the influx of a new body. A ‘new’ body of Jesse clambered out of Jesse’s ‘old’ body, the old body now dissolving into the field of ice. Jesse had just shed out of his own body, snake-style. A coating of ice layered his entire body; his injuries in his new body were completely regenerated. Jesse glared at Rash, a new intensity and realization at his opponent bestowed upon his glare. He now knew and assessed what he was up against, as had Rash. Rash looked in on discord, yet didn’t seem too phased at the new state of affairs. To him, it didn’t seem to change a thing.
“Not gonna lie, I wasn’t expecting that in the least. You genuinely staggered me, if only for a little time,” Rash said, adjusting his glasses, finally taking out his blunt, throwing it on the ground against the blood of Jesse’s old, decayed body, where it lit out instantly. Rash stared. Jesse stared. It was on.
“Done with our warm up, are we?” Rash said simply. Jesse said nothing, which prompted Rash to smile once more. “Let’s give it everything we’ve got from here. However, the result will be the same, and this time, you won’t come back from my carnage.”
Jesse picked up his sword left behind by his old body, holding it above his head, directly in a vertical horizon. He ran his hand across the blade gently, yet passionately, creating a sphere of ice crafted among his blade. Jesse had new ideas about his abilities now, and although he knew he gave it all he had last round, this round, he would just have to pull a Willman; go beyond the limits. He glared with a penetrating gaze with his newly formed snake-slit eyes. “I’m getting rather tired of looking at your face.”

“We… we have to retreat! We can’t beat him!” The Vault fighter declared, clutching his helmet on for dear life, beginning to take his run away for the fear of his life. Another soldier grabbed him by his uniform, glaring him in the eyes intensely.
“If we leave now, what kind of example does that set for the Vault?!” the other fighter angrily declared, yet the other soldier continued to tremble. “Our other platoons are out there, giving it their all! We have to do the same for them! No matter the opponent, this is what we risked by joining this group! Rise up and do your part!” the lecturing man shoved the other in disgust, who quivered. He stared him immensely in the eyes for a few seconds, before suddenly, a large detonation sounded off a few meters away. The two soldiers turned, as their comrades looked on from the sides, hiding beneath the crevice in the earth.
“It-it’s terrible… he’s destroying our entire squadron! The-there’s nothing we can do!” one of the men in the crevice cried out. The other two men looked on in disdain, as a lone man stood above the crevice, his arms folded, glaring down at them with penetrating purple eyes. He smiled cockily, raising his hands above his head.
“Seems I’ve been fighting these little foot soldiers… boring!” Dew exclaimed wildly, a mad grin plastered on his face. The Vault members looked on, their eyes widened.
“What the… that’s Dew… of Perdition! What is a member of K.I. doing here, let alone a Sin of Perdition?!” the second man exclaimed out loud. Dew grinned, leaning against the upper earth, resting his arm against his leg.
“I was bored… and I’m still bored! You guys just aren’t doing it for me, eh? You’re all a bunch of sissies… like damn. I thought Vault would hire better security than a couple of boneheads like you,” Dew leaped down into the crevice of the earth, stomping upon the first man inside, crushing him from the outside in, he yelped in pain. The other soliders aimed their weapons in scorn, shooting for Dew. Dew ran forward, leaping across the field, spin-kicking both guys side by side in the face respectively, using the other guy as a shield for the third guy’s bullets, and hurling the shield guy at the third guy, kicking him to him at an intense rapidity. Dew laughed heartily at the sight of the carnage of the battlefield. “Seems Vault is all speak, no treat.” Dew pressed on forward, before running into another tempted ambush, he leaped for the man hiding behind the Vault HQ walls, smashing his head against the wall, crushing the head and the wall in the process. Dew found it all hilarious.
He had just wiped out an entire squadron.

“Here I come little munchkin!” Kana waved her arms gracefully through the air, her white bracelets gleaming off of the sunlight, emitting a large glow around her body. As she waved, the bubbles began scattering across the entire area within 20 meters, varying in different sizes. “Bubble Bath!” The bubbles began to explode, once again, in a chain reaction. The detonation built up into the sky, and in a flowing event, chased down Rubie from where she stood, her ruby substance casing her entire body.
The lower half of Rubie’s body shifted back into a flesh state again, as she leaped up, avoiding a chain blast of bubbles as they decimated the terrain, all throughout the field, the explosions began leveling the entire ground. The island trembled as Kana lowered the explosions to ground level, most of the bubbles were nearly microscopic level, yet the explosions with the chain remained huge. Rubie, finally escaping outside of its range, hid behind a boulder. She looked down at the ground, cursing from the bottom of her tongue.
“That little cunt almost had me,” Rubie said to herself, barely above a whisper. She stood there, listening to Kana outside of the destroyed cavern. She sensed the smoke rising, smelling like burnt incense, which nearly made her gag. Rubie was used to being, along with Jesse, the sensor in Team Willy. As far as hearing went, she was the best. She listened intently, hearing Kana’s footsteps across the ground. She even heard Kana lick her lips. From the distance she was at, she could second guess where she was, an educated second guess. Rubie was never one to think most things through, usually relying on her instincts, bovine-like or not.
Rubie quickly turned around, layering her body with a casing of ruby substance once more, raised up her leg and violently yet swiftly kicked the boulder she was behind, down the hill, with minimal effort. The boulder revolved down the hill at an accurate trajectory and intense velocity.
Kana looked up at the boulder, her face scorned with a glance of fortitude. She took out her bubble blower pipe, and blew a gigantic, over human sized bubble directly in front of her. Kana hopped inside of the bubble, floating directly above the boulder only just as it rolled by her, extremely lucky she wasn’t just crushed. Kana floated in the air inside of the giant bubble, yet as she looked, Rubie was already gone. The boulder was there, so Rubie had to be too, right?
“Hey, little blossom! Where are you hiding?! You really think you can hide from me?! I’ll level this entire playground if I have to! I bet you’ll come out then!” Kana shouted with a terrifying tease. She assumed that Rubie couldn’t fly, so assuming more so she was safe up in the air. Kana sighed, knowing she needed to think up a plan on dealing with the little brute.
“Hey Bubble Boaster, down here! To your left!” Rubie called from Kana’s east, 45 degrees away at a distance of 30 meters. Kana angrily looked down, obviously mentally affected by Rubie’s shameless name-calling. Rubie simply stood down, awaiting Kana’s attack. Kana raised her arms, aiming her open palm from her distance at Rubie. An array of soap bubbles once again began forming around Kana’s body, the microscopic bubbles surrounding her increased drastically in size, now towering above average human height. The bubbles began to form an olive shaded ink-like substance inside, until they covered the entire bubbles.
“Acidic Bubble Array!” Kana launched the bubbles toward Rubie, whom simply ran forward in a zig-zag pattern, evading the bubbles as they popped on the ground. As they did, the olive acid leaked out, and completely corroded the ground beneath within mere seconds. Rubie looked back; her eyes squinted as she ran forward again. As she was distracted by the former acid, she looked up, Kana leaped out of her bubble, appearing directly in front of Rubie, a threateningly yet deceitful glare upon her face. Rubie hated that look, and glared menacingly back with a bloodlust in her eyes. She clenched her fist, indulged in ruby.
“Ruby Javelin!” Rubie threw a punch forward, which was dodged by Kana, averting her body away, she twisted back in a full 360, blowing another acidic bubble Rubie’s way, at point blank range. Rubie gritted her teeth, her eyes widened furiously, she decided to tank it, there wasn’t any other option at this range, all or nothing. Rubie charged through the bubble, popping it, yet drenched in the olive acid. Kana didn’t move, merely expecting Rubie to drop dead right there, her body corroding instantly from the acid.
Didn’t happen, she didn’t know just how reckless Redhorn Rubie was. Kana’s face distorted by the ruby-style punch she delivered right into Kana’s disastrous face, the crash of the blow reverberated through the island. Rubie glared with an imperious, menacing glare, her eyes widened with the intent of only watching Kana fall to the ground, conquered and defeated. Kana screamed as she flipped and spun across the ground, landing face first against the dirt with a final frontal flip, Rubie appeared beside Kana with an unwavering speed, drawing her leg back dynamically, the red ruby coated across her leg.
“Redhorn Punt!” Rubie exclaimed, kicking her across her ribs.
CRACK. Kana’s ribs were broken on her entire right side, causing Kana to spit out blood as she went spinning once again, unsympathetically, against the bitter, unforgiving terrain. Kana clutched her chest in pain, as she took a full fledged crystallized kick to the ribs. She was pretty sure one of her ribs had just pierced her right lung, receiving an unfathomable amount of pain in her chest, her breathing became rigid and corrupted, she barely could do it. Her mouth spilled more blood, as she closed her eyes, drawing back the tears in her eyes.
Rubie’s arm lifted out of the ground, pulling herself up. Her entire body was encased with ruby, which saved her from the corrosion; however, apparently corrosion wasn’t the only side effect of this acid. Rubie began panting, clutching her chest as the green olive-like acid was drenched over her body. She glared up at Kana, her attention turned away from Rubie, which only angered her more. She clenched her hands, as she held in the urge to vomit on the battle front. They both had just taken a huge toll on the front. Rubie coughed, her eyes began to gaze away, yet she stood tall. Internally, despite the ruby armor, she was still human. Rubie glared over at Kana’s body, watching her gasp for her breath desperately attempting to manage the pain. Rubie looked away, and began walking, yet noticed as she did, the world around her began to shift involuntarily. Rubie narrowed her eyes, despite the increased fatigue, it only motivated Rubie’s drive to stay awake, that was the kind of person she was. She began walking through the horizon, noticing the sun began to set.
Kana sat up, through harsh gasps, she placed her left hand over her right rib-cage, a white glowing energy emitted from her bracelets, repairing her internal damage. Kana’s healing abilities weren’t remarkable, so she wasn’t able to completely repair her lung. Knowing it would possibly bleed out again, she decided the best thing to do would be to play it safe, yet she knew she had to take out this Vault scum. Only left one option for her. Kana withdrew her bubble blower, struggling the blow the large bubble around her once more. As Kana began taking flight, she observed Rubie as she began walking, her step staggering with each one she took, looking like she might collapse any second. Kana didn’t care what happened, or was thinking much, she just wanted her gone. She waved her hands silently, then widened her eyes. Bubble Chain Parade!
The whole area around Rubie, without warning, exploded in a fiery flock of flames, ignited from around Rubie, the microscopic bubbles Rubie wouldn’t notice, detonated, once again, as a chain reaction. The entire island was leveled, the hillside collapsed, even the last half of the island nearly split apart from the extreme detonation. Kana wanted to laugh, yet found it impossible in her current condition. When the smoke cleared, Rubie was gone. Kana thought nothing of it at first.
Suddenly, a simple rock came flying from below, and then, the bubble popped as it phased through, also hitting Kana across the chest. Kana’s eyes broadened as she fell down. As Kana fell, her IMO vest was yanked by the collar, clutching, choking her where she landed. Her one eye open, where she met the intimidating glare of Redhorn Rubie, her azure eyes fixed on hers, craving to finish the battle, and put an end to this tramp.
“They’re only bubbles…” Rubie said in between rigid gasps of breath. “All I had to do was pop them. To beat you, all I have to do is pop your head.” Rubie clenched harder, Kana yelped. “You would have done a lot better had you just laid there like the trifling tramp you are…”Rubie declared frighteningly, her eyes boring through Kana’s soul, ripping it to shreds with its devilish glower. Kana’s eyes widened in fright, her lip quivered.
“Wh-what are you…?” Kana weakly asked. “Are you a devil…?”
Rubie, as if that statement ticked her off, clenched her teeth and fist, treating it as a personal attack. She looked Kana dead in the eyes.
“A friend to the people who want to make a difference in this forsaken world, and an enemy to the people who are corrupting it. Specifically, to you, I’m the girl who’s about to cap you dead center in the base of your bubbly head!”Rubie lunged forward, with her bull horn cap, head-butting Kana dead on in the head, ending the fight the same way she started it, with the famous Redhorn Head-butt. Kana’s head bled from the pure force trauma, as Rubie’s horns were tainted red, just as her alias suggested. Kana fell flat on the ground, her body sprawled widely among the crevices of the earth. Rubie panted as she looked down with her red horns, and turned away, rubbing her stomach as she began walking away with a stagger, keeping her ruby armor intact across her body, weighing down her steps, but reducing the effects of the poison, keeping her physical form unharmed. Problem was she wouldn’t last too much longer in that form…
Rubie wandered on, walking into the horizon, a red aurora glimmering throughout the island boundaries. Rubie smiled, assured that no one would see her like this. She raised her fist slowly in the air.

“They’re getting rather lively… calling us so late in the mission, yeah?” one of the men coated in the IMO garment cape said, approaching the battle front along a horizontal alignment of soldiers with the same uniform. They approached the base, walking through the path by the fallen soldiers clearing the way, carved by Sins’ Dew.
“Seems more like desperation to me,” one of the other men replied, expelling out his hand, emitting a large blaster wave of white energy, blasting through the debris in the battlefield, clearing the path more so, the Vault HQ right in front of their eyes. They looked on in a mix of amusement and accomplishment.
“For the 1st squadron of IMO, this is no challenge at all! Child's play!” the one leading exclaimed, an extremely pale toned man exclaimed, his face resembling that of a dreadful reaper. “The HQ is ahead, kill'em all!” they shouted, emitting a battle cry, charging forward at an inhuman speed.
The Vault forces on guard stood in terror and anxiety. “A-all of them… are War-rune users!”
“Come on… what traitors would we be if we didn’t go down trying?! For Vault!!” one brave soldier charged forward, igniting a battle cry from the rest of the squad. The Vault soldiers drew their weapons… the center man weaving his hands in front of his torso, lifting up his fingers, emitting a blue electric pulse around his center. The swords, gun, along with all of their metallic instruments in their pouches, all began to levitate around the field. The Vault looked on as in an instant, anything metallic was levitating in the air, their weapons rendered useless.
“Metallic Massacre!”the demented leader laughed, as the metallic weapons rained down in a spiraling cyclone among the entire group, the leader mercilessly slaughtering all of the soldiers within a blink of an eye, by using their own weapons. He raised his hands up in the air, laughing with an ecstasy unmatched on the battlefield. This guy was wrecking havoc, and he loved it all to death. His fellow squadron moved forward.

Kaidoh panted, raising his wide open fingers above his face in a cross, staring at the Lieutenant General of IMO, who in turn stood poised and dignified, simply staring at Kaidoh with an unusually contempt air. Kaidoh began chuckling to himself, as he raised his hands above his head, pointing his finger at Velvetti with a fresh bow.
“Shall we commence, madam?” Kaidoh asked with a chivalrous tongue. Velvetti took her own elegant stance, her index and middle fingers extended, her feet separated resolutely positioned in a battle-ready stance.
“Give me all you’ve got, my handsome stallion.”
“Azure Shotgun!”Kaidoh shot back his hand like a firearm, his finger expelling a small, blue light beam, which exploded upon impact into a flock of mini fireworks, each shot resonating a Pop Pop Pop into the air. With each shot, he swiftly and coolly raised his hands, and began performing extensive spinning drills, 360ing among the vicinity, dancing along with his shots with a precise and stylish rhythm, adding flavor to his multiple shots.
Velvetti spun as well, as if moving along with Kaidoh’s moves as he took the lead, adding her own twist as she easily deflected the azure fireworks with her hands, simply swapping them aside, igniting behind her in a fiery azure blaze, lighting up the scenario among the both of them, creating a circus of lights. She stepped forward three times, elegantly kicking forward in the style of a conga dance, smiling with a wink to Kaidoh, blowing a kiss briskly and seductively, her body flowing majestically along the rhythm of what appeared to be performing an interpretive dance among the two of them.
Kaidoh grinned at Velvetti’s display, while Velvetti dodged the last blast with a graceful twirl of her body, her red hair swayed among the breeze, flowing royally along Velvetti’s dance. Kaidoh narrowed his eyes with an interested gaze, and began shooting more rounds in his own roundabout stylish ways. In those same manner, Velvetti added her own flavor to her aesthetically pleasing dance, deflecting Kaidoh's fireworks with an enticing twirl.

In those same manner, Velvetti added her own flavor to her aesthetically pleasing dance, deflecting Kaidoh's fireworks with an enticing twirl.
Kaidoh moved along with her, as if they were dancing together all along. He stylishly came to a halt as he fired three more rounds of fireworks from his fingers, smirking with a devilish, pretty boy charm about him. Velvetti flirtatiously evading with a sidestep, she narrowed her eyes with an intriguing insight. She immediately took control of the ‘fight’, as she merely raised her hand, all of the shots merely sliding by her, as if being misdirected with only a guidance of her hand, the new manipulator no longer being Kaidoh, she had seemingly taken control of his own technique. Velvetti dropped her hands, the firecrackers popped and cackled into the ground in varying distances around 20 meters apart around Velvetti. Through the light show, she smiled gracefully. Kaidoh stared with an intrigued smile.
“My dear, you are really quite astounding. I feel as if we are boogying upon the pedestal in the sky, above all else.” Kaidoh bowed before Velvetti, Velvetti smiling with an amused laugh. Velvetti instantly disappeared into the light, reappearing at seemingly light speed directly in front of Kaidoh, caressing his face with her finger, running it down his cheek; she grabbed his own hand, running it herself down her own back. Kaidoh looked down with an intrigued expression, but an enjoyable one. He stared at her, his eyes peeking at her figure up and down. Her pink lips carved into a devilish smirk.
“You are certainly worthy of mercy, darling, and you’re an amazing sport. For such contribution, I will leave your face unscathed.” Kaidoh closed his eyes and laughed with an easygoing edge.
“You see, my dear, I have no intention of giving into your enticement just yet.” Kaidoh extended his index and middle finger straightly, lightly tapping them directly above Velvetti’s left breast. Velvetti looked down, slightly taken aback by Kaidoh’s bold feat. Kaidoh beamed. “It burdens me so, but there is no other way. You won’t dodge this one, mon amour.” Kaidoh’s eyes twinkled through an unknown source.
“Azure Flare!” Kaidoh kicked back his hands immediately upon the imitation of the flare. Velvetti tilted her head back upon the impact, her body jolted back, exploding in a blue inferno. As the smoke cleared, Kaidoh looked down solemnly, clearly feeling remorse for shooting a beautiful woman through the heart.
Her body was gone. His eyes widened in shock. He looked back, a sudden fright in his eyes. Velvetti stood behind him, barely five meters away, calm and dignified as before, her right hand on her hip as she stood dignified. She stared with a strange eye at Kaidoh, a playful look and gesture among her face that Kaidoh couldn’t at first fathom. Kaidoh was playing along at first, and all along, he finally realized he was the one being played for the fool.
“You’re really something…” Kaidoh said with a gulp. Velvetti walked toward Kaidoh, a feminine sway to her hips, and the completely confident and calculating simper on her face. She lifted up her right hand midway, which began to illuminate a bright, crystal clear light that blinded the entire radius of nearly 20 meters. Kaidoh closed his eyes from the bright emitting light, grunting to himself.
“Sorry Boo, this is the end,” Velvetti’s light emitted from her hand condensed into an orb. As Kaidoh finally opened his eyes, halfway blinded temporarily, he did catch a glimpse of her orb.
“Laser Carnival,” Velvetti said tranquilly. Suddenly, a large barrage of multi colored lasers spanned out, releasing from all directions. The lasers spanned from colors of red, green, and violet, filling the locale with a laser light show. Not only that, they traveled at instantaneous speed… by the time you even caught a glimpse of a laser, there was no way to react. Kaidoh looked on, his eyes widened. How the hell was he going to dodge that? Attempting to make a leap away, yet in that same instant…
Kaidoh was struck by a montage of lasers. The lasers multiplied with each passing second, striking Kaidoh multiple times, burning through his flesh straight through, leaving no matter or mercy. Kaidoh’s body was pierced and burned by the lasers across his torso in over seven spots. Kaidoh’s eyes widened, his pupils shrunk. He squinted his eyes with a twinge. He fell on his knees, his body beginning to fall back into the ground, utterly defeated, so effortlessly. She’s…a monster. Never have I fought such a beautiful abomination…
Velvetti caught his head as he fell. She reached down from above, her face parallel yet upside down to his. He looked on in anguish and curiosity.
Velvetti kissed Kaidoh on his lips. Kaidoh couldn’t move, not that he much wanted to. He smiled mid-way, as did she. She slowly pushed Kaidoh off of her after the exchange of their willing tongues, she kicked him to the ground, face first. By the time he hit the floor, Kaidoh had already lost consciousness, edging through death’s door. Despite this, he went down with ecstasy, as if he had just lived the best experience of his life.
Velvetti glanced back at Kaidoh with flushed cheeks. “As promised, Handsome Stallion, your gorgeous face remains unscathed. Thanks for the fun, honey-bunch. Sorry to end this so abruptly. I would have liked to play with you a little longer.”
As Velvetti turned, her crimson hair turned into strands of pink hair, her eyes turned from green, to red. She grinned almost madly. “Vault is lynching on its last filament of hope. Disaster has emerged. Go forward… Willman. You’re the only one who can stop them, and stop him. Despite anything, however, you will never stop us.”
Velvetti’s eyes cut back, as she swiftly ducked forward, dodging a double edged, golden-carved slash, cutting through the atmosphere itself, lashing out in a vicious wave across the island. Shockwaves from the slash could be felt harshly beneath Velvetti’s feet. Velvetti flipped forward, turning her body fully around, staring up at the golden-rod haired man wielding the infamous twin edged saber Velvetti instantly recognized.
“Striking while the iron is hot, Vault’s Golden Eagle?” Velvetti stood up straight, a gleaming, intrigued look in her eyes. Sabre stood big, glaring at Velvetti with a clearly cruel intent.
“I come back to HQ to find a couple of rats had infiltrated our island?” Sabre said coldly, while Velvetti simply stared back, her scarlet eyes completely focused on her new opponent.
“Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, sir Sabre,” Velvetti walked closer, immediately, Sabre withdrew his sword, pointing directly for Velvetti in their short distance.
“Let me personally show you what it means to mess with a man’s pride and family.”

Willy stood alone, resting against a large rising stone; he caught his breath, staring down at the ground. An entire squadron, he had just eliminated himself, and only a few visible bruises and scratches on him. Willy took out his medical kit from within his pocket, applying a bit of first aid to his arm and sides, wrapping up his arm in a bandage and applying an ointment to his sides. He inhaled deeply, staring up at the horizon, a red aurora filled the dusk, circulating around the island. Willy brushed his hair out of his face, glaring with a focused stare across the façade. The IMO soldiers were dwindling in number. Vault were driving back IMO from the core, yet, they couldn’t escape. The situation was getting no better. Willy was vexed, only hoping at this point that his team would pull through. He had no doubt, that was his team, they each could hold their own, and they were the best the Vault had. Willy stared up into the sky, a serious intent in his eyes. “There was someone behind this attack… unless I or the other guys in the team find them first; it could spill all colors of trouble for Vault as a whole.” Willy wiped off the sweat on his forehead. He stood up, and began wandering forward.
“It’s time to end this conflict.” Willy began leaping forward, until he heard his belt buckle vibrate. Willy flipped up his pager.
“Ten? Is that you? Are you clear?”
“Yes, Willman,” Ten replied with his usual monotone robotic edge. “There is one problem.”
Willy continued looking ahead, a deadpan expression upon his face. “Yes?”
“We now have reason to believe that K.I. is the one responsible for this assault. Also, Trav was apprehended by a member of K.I.”
Willy’s eyes shot forward, widened with a fierce determination, nearly dropping his pager. “Where did they take him?”
“Inside of the HQ. Willy, you should get over here now. I have a bad feeling… our situation is about to get severe.”
Willy knelt down, placing his hands on the ground, his feet propped up, he kicked off of the ground multiple times, dashing toward the HQ in a blazing speed, leaving behind only a trail of dust, only one thing on his mind.
