SOUL SISTER PREVIEW
There should be around four here. But they aren’t moving…why? Wait…or make the first move, soldier. Your call. Heh. Never mind, looks like they beat you into making the first move. Check your five o’ clock carefully-shit!
The Bloodbath at her five o’clock made its move, lashing out with its limbs. She countered with a downward swing, felt the familiar jerk tensing through her arm that screamed she drew blood. Something flashed in the left corner of her peripheral vision, as she raised her blade again to where she assumed the middle of the lump that was the Bloodbath’s body would be. A shriek came out again, as she landed on its vitals, piercing the jugular diagonally to the other side. Two down…and another one already leapt, aiming for her back.
Breathe, exhale, and swing! The Bloodbath veered off to the side from the impact of the force, leaving a messy green trail of liquid. One was left in the immediate area. And judging by the lack of voices screaming in her earpiece, her soldiers were holding their own, as it should’ve been from the very beginning. Currently, it was trying to attack from behind-well that wouldn’t work on her twice. Jumping back, she flipped around the monster, intending to strike from its behind when she was almost hit by a sizable amount of green liquid.
Lightning managed to not get hit by curling herself into a tight ball, anticipating the point of landing. Just what was going on? Not only was her uniform almost irrevocably stained, but the monster was still alive!
“We’ll help,” she heard-from where the shooter was presumably-along with an unmistakable sound of an airbike. It was a woman’s voice-- that much she could tell.
You have got to be fucking kidding me. Civilians-vigilantes, whatever they were trying to be-just don’t know when to quit with the spotlight. The bike is neither GC nor PSICOM standard issued, and it has been remodeled, judging from the little groan it makes when accelerating. A pure airbike would not make that kind of noise, even with wear and tear.
Trying to jump-start my writing, but I'm almost done with that long action scene, just adding the afterscene with it. Honestly, it's 7000+ words already, but that's what I get for writing action scenes and detailing every movement.
In class right now, have about an hour between class and work before, ending my day. Even with Daylight Savings Time done and over with (1 hour back!!) I am still feeling like there's not enough time. Also, I just realized I have Swedish Fish with me. JOY!
