Snippet #2465459

((This post was coordinated between Damioa and I. I'll get to other characters once someone else posts.))

Chemda and Adira made progress on a breakthrough for a full-out attack on the Sonic Cannon when they saw a huge flash of light coming from the beach. The two of them fought their way towards the beach, only to notice the cockpit was empty.

Cain kept himself hidden under the Near Shadow waiting to see what these intruders next motives would be. He used his enhance hearing to pick up on thier conversation.

Chemda spoke up. "Well, sis, looks like he won't be coming back to that mech."

"Don't be so sure," Adira retorted. "It could be a trap."

"I say we spring it."

Adira sighed. "Let's go on foot. First, we should take these Eagles of ours underwater. They can handle it until we come back for them."

'Damn.' Cain cursed to himself. He didn't want them to set foot in the Near Shadow, but had to wait for the opportuned time to strike.

Their ocean blue Eagle were submersed into the water to avoid their notice, right before turning off all systems and taking built-in underwater exits (which were requested by them) to come out of their mechs before resurfacing themselves and set foot on the beach.

Adira motioned for Chemda to follow her. Soon enough, they got to the Near Shadow and began searching the cockpit for anything. Chemda gave a thumbs up while saying, "Nothing to indicate a trap."

With them out of their mechs, Cain thought it would be easy for him to move in and silence them. He took out his combat knife and jumped on the cockpit.

Adira nodded. "We can probably bring it back to the Seraphim for examination." Just then, they heard something. "Get behind me, Chemda, and pull out your pistol."

Whereas Adira brought out her handmade katanna, Chemda brought out and readied her handguns. Once whoever it was came out, Adira held him off with her melee, while Chemda got behind the opponent to try to shoot him in the back. They were both so agile and fast, making their moves look like a lethal dance.

Quickly analyzing their moves Cain held his knife in a reverse grip going for the one with the sword in zig zag movements to evade the bullets. Having a shot barely miss him, he jumped over the girl with the sword and landed on the ground. Open terrain would help him win this fight.

The woman with the sword was fast. Too fast for a human. She quickly found her way to Cain who barely blocked her slash with his knife. Hearing the click of the gun he quickly spun himself to use the sword-girl as a sheild. The girl with the sword backfliped leaving Cain open to be shot. He quickly adjusted his grip on the knife to throw it and threw it at the girl with the gun. With a shot fired the knife pushed right through the bullet, splitting it in two and sending each peace pass Cains face, and continued to the gun the girld had in hand braking it and causing her to loose her grip. Wincing at the pain he gave a smurk. The girl was a good shot. She would've got his head if he didn't throw his knive.

Quickly however the other girl recovered herself from her jump and lunged once again towards Cain, who, without a weapon, had to go on the hard defensive. He dodged left and right continuously and looked for the opportuned moment to strike. However, it seemed like the girls swordsmanship left very little openings that Cain couldn't counter on. He backed up until he reached a tree. Being pinned against it was not in his favor. As the girl thrust her sword towards his mid section it seemed she might have connected. Thinking quickly Cain backflipped and held onto the tree, arms and legs stretched and now upsidedown. The blade barely missed the top of his head and peirced the tree. Now was his chance. The girl stood their trying to pull out her sword and Cain jumped forward off the tree and kicked her away from it. Now that everyone was free handed, Cain thought he had the upper hand and spread out his arms in different directions, with one had edging them to come on.

Looking closely at them he saw that the two girls resembled one another. Maybe they were even twins. It didn't matter to him but he still thought it would be good to note the possibility for later events.

Both girls were standing next to each other and lunged at him side by side. No. They were quickly switching sides with each other, leaving Cain to wonder wich side each was going to come from. When they finally approached him one seemed to be slightly bentm, punching his abdomen, while the other kicked him in his face. He tried to move back but he hit the swords handle. It wasn't body peircing but he could feel the bruise on his back.

The girl that was knelled down spun and rose to punch him in his face, while the other one went low to kick him in his leg. This time he was able to react quickly, raising his leg to block the kick and gaurding his face with his arms. It seemed that these two females were use to fighting along side each other and even had a little routine. However, Cain had the sense that they weren't blood thirsty enough to take him on. He had it noted that they were both stronger, accurate, and faster than most humans, but without bloodlust he knew that they didn't stand a chance.

Pushing both of them in seperate direction he charged at the closer girl. It was the girl that had the gun. It seemed she was ready to counter him and he expected the other one was going to try to get him from behind. He quickly spun around and let his right leg fly. It was always a gamble trying to guess an attacker thats behind you motives, but it was obne Cain was well adjusted to if his kick missed he would just round it to the other girl. Like he expected the girl that had the sword was trying to come from behind him and his kick landed on his ribs. He held nothing back in that kick which would crack a few ribs on any normal person. He also decided not to stop their.

Using the force from the kick he turned in the oppisite direction and let his leg fly once again. this time almost attaching itself to the other girls face. She was lucky enough to have blocked it. Retracing his movements he once again got in his battle stance. This fight was actually exciting for him. He hadn't had a person or a group of people last long with him when he was fighting seriously. Reaching into his poket, he took out a tranquilizer needle and kept it hidden in hsi palm. With the other girl slowly getting up holding her side, he had enough time to attack the one that was still standing. Hunching over, he quickly dashed toward the girl stepping back right before tackling her, avoiding an incomming kick. The girl known as Chemda. From this little scuffle Cain could tell that her kicks were pretty good, but it seemed that her shooting was better than her melee. The other one, who's name he didn't get, seemed to have good melee but just got unlucky attacking him from behind. He counted himself lucky he left the better one alone for now. He put forth his own kick that hit the girls leg which she blocked. He recharged to hit her mid section which seemed to catch her off gaurd and his last kick went straight for her face. Connection with a full follow through Cain proceeded to tackle her to the ground, forcing the needle into her neck. She would be okay, just out for a couple hours due to the needles poison. The three way kick he used was goo for getting people open, but he still didn't expect it to work on her. As he rose up to his feet he sucked his teeth in disapproval.

"Chemda!" Adira shouted her sister's name in shock and fear. Did this man intend to use Chemda as part of some sort of experiment or laboratory specimen? The thought of it enraged her as just much as seeing her sister defeated.

Cain then turned his head to the other girl who didn't seem to happy about him knocking out her sister. Cain lundged toward her and tried to use the same move on her, but it seemed she was a little betting at blocking fast moves on time. No matter, Cain still had more moves up his sleeve. He threw a couple punches to the girl trying to keep him on the defensive, not expecting her to parry his arm away, leaving his chest open for a hit. She punched him in the stomach hard, pushing him back a few feet, then jumped on top of his head. She spun around to twirl him towards the ground. This was a big mistake for her to do this to Cain who had the upper body stregnth to counter. He held out his hands to catch himself from the ground and continued in a front flip like motion until he was back on his feet.

Adira could not believe it! Any other man she came across would have been out cold by that move! Could he be one of those genetically-altered people from the lab on an island not far from the current battlefield? She did not even have time to process what she just witnessed during the fight.

Still attached to him, Cain grabbed the girl by the arms and slammed her on the ground. Holding still for a second, Cain realized that the girl was out cold and her grip soon loosened.

Falling backwards he gave an out of breath sigh. "Heh. Heh. Maybe in a couple years and with better training, you girls might stand a better chance. I wasn't holding back but I still didn't want to break you girls." Laughing softly to himself he overheard an oncoming mech and stood up again at the ready to run. He was releived to see that it was Scoar who was coming to pick him up and take him back to the titan.

"Hold on." Cain said, grabbing the girl he stuck with the needle. "Let's take this girl in and question her."
"Alright." Scoar nodded.
With them at the ready, Scoar had his mech carry the Near Shadow and the two headed back to the titan.
