Snippet #1821073

Ridly was slowly starting to grow worn out from the constant leaps and rolls she made, each putting her just outside of of the monster's reach and out of harm's way. Of course she couldn't keep it up forever and the shots from her gun seemed to be doing little other than aggravating it. Bounding back one more time, the Hildebear seemed to have finally given up it's chase, giving Ridly a moment to catch her breath. Or so she thought as she found herself staring into a blistering fire from the mouth of the creature. Not being entirely familiar with it, it was only until the last moment she realized it would be a projectile coming at her and not a streamed blowing of flames. On instinct, she tried diving out of the way, but not quite in time. The blast caught her leg, sending her spinning out of her poised dodge and onto the ground prone.

Luckily for her, a certain partner came striding up behind her, throwing forth a a storm of cold energy. Ridly slowly rose to feet in a wince of pain as she watched the Hildebear being frozen solid before her. At Hal's comment, she wiped a thumb under her nose with a huff, almost feeling as though she had hardly done anything to help in this fight. "Baah, that's good enough," she replied, giving the preserved creature a look over while Hal was led away by his mag.

Finally allowing her attention to stray from the threat at hand, she glanced around the surroundings, being wary of any further wild creatures that may come swinging out of the bushes and right on top of her self. There was a rustling in the bushes and a glimmer of something metallic beyond the obscuring flora. Ridly licked the corner of her lips as she raised her gun to a ready position, being too late to call out to the oddity or warn Hal of another possible hostile. Hearing a shot ring out and come crashing into a tree, she retaliated with a firing of her own. Of course, the wide scattering of her ready shot would only manage to down the branches of a few stray trees. She prepared herself to move, but there were no further shots taken on either of two.

Dashing over to the call of her name, she looked down at whatever it was Hal was digging up. "What are you doing getting all weepy over a toy?" she spoke, letting her shot hang from her shoulder as she lifted her hat a moment, sweeping a hand through her hair with a sigh before plopping it back down on her head, "Whatever, do what you want. Obviously there's something goin' on here or there wouldn't be a reason for someone trying to assassinate us. Worthless, whoever it is."

She waved a dismissive hand over her shoulder. "Our mission is done here. Though, I wouldn't put it past the two airheads that also took the mission to be coming past here and to add to that, one of them had a rifle," she mentioned, pointing two fingers at the splintered tree beside them, "I have nothing else to do here, so I'd rather get back up to the ship. Confront that wench in a safer place. Make the call for two."
