"Stop right there, mother -blam!-er." I cursed and aimed my pistol at him. Fear ran through my veins. The last time I tried defending a helpless woman, I ended up dead. I felt that I might repeat that same scenario. "Oh? I don't remember you. Who are you again?" Mountain said, dropping Holiday as he walked toward me. "The guy who's going to put a hole in your ugly mug if you don't hand over whatever information you just took and leave." I said, as threatningly as possible. "Haha! Go on then, by all means. Shoot me. Have at it," Mountain smiled, kneeling his head down, signaling me to put my pistol toward his temple. Feeling disrespected, I drew the gun and fired immediately, and what happened nearly made me pass out. BANG! Mountain stood there, unaffected as he took his hand and felt the side of his head where he revealed a bullet, which was crumpled up like trash. "Hmm. What was that about a hole again?" At that moment I knew. I had -blam!-ed up. Mountain swung his arm and hit me with the back of his fist and sent me flying, where I landed on the floor close to Holiday. I groaned, feeling like I had just got hit with an anvil. I struggled to get up, and I heard an ominous roar. That roar.. "It appears the fallen have decided to join the party. Well, a party I don't want to attend but I'm sure you two will have a splendid time. Don't forget to scream, yeah?" Mountain chuckled. Sick bastard. "Ghost, ship transmat, now." And as quickly as he came, he was gone. I looked at Holiday. "You.. You alright?" I wheezed. She didn't answer back, she just continue to sob. I didn't blame her. I looked at Lyra's dead body and sighed. Before I knew it, Becky, who hasn't revealed herself for a while, flew over to the corpse and began scanning it. And like magic, Lyra's body was reconstructed and she was breathing again, seemingly unharmed. "What.. What the hell!? You were dead! Lyra, you were [i]dead[/i]!" I screamed. "I know! Tactical decision, I'll tell you more in a second. Just protect this woman while I handle the rest, we don't have much time!" Time? What was she.. I looked ahead and my blood ran cold.
