Out for blood

[tex_freelancer]

She'd been avoiding the Blue Base for a reason, but enough was enough. O'Malley had taunted her for the last time. She's surprised at her own reluctance to kill Caboose, but she knows O'Malley too well to underestimate him. They's been one after all and she's parlty to blame for this

O'Malley walks out onto the roof of the base. He's grinning under his helmet. "I thought you'd never ask."
He leaps down and lands, ready for action.

One hand goes up to ward off the blow; the other swings the sword back in. It's a slightly clumsy move.

It's a clumsy blow, but it hits anyway and she's getting sore. She grabs hold of his other arm and tries to twist it.

He yanks his arm away as best he can.

Letting the arm go, Tex elbows his helmet.

He staggers back for a moment, then raises the sword and sends it crashing towards Tex's own helmet.

Tex tries to raise her arm to stop the blow, but she's a second too slow and the sword hits her first. The angle is just right to knock her out and everything turns black around her as she crashes to the ground.

He stops, looks, and laughs. It becomes clear she's not moving. "Ah, Allison..." he laughs.

Deactivating his sword, he picks her up - not difficult for him - and carries her away, back inside the base. The unfamiliar armour is tricky for him to get off her, but he does so calmly and methodically, stashing it away.
He leaves her locked up and unarmed. As he turns away, he takes his helmet off and gives her a cold smile.

"Maybe I should go back to Omega, after all. With you like that..."
