Day Two

[Karl Jak]

Face to Face
#15 Violet, #03 Blink, and #39 Victor Wolfe vs #05 Gilgamesh, #33 Jon Snow ,& #26 Doomyguy

The newly forged trio of Victor, Violet, and Blink made their way up to the top of the mountain. Unlike a natural mountain, this one terminated with a little plateau that they figured had been cut deliberately. With the storm essentially a done deal, they had some time to try and let their clothes dry before continuing on to whatever awaited them next in the Abyss. Aside from run-ins that resulted in nothing more than acquiring some neat gear, the trio had run into no hiccups thus far, and with a day behind them already, they were all starting to feel a little confidence booster.

“I think I see something,” Victor suddenly whispered as he waved over the two women. “Down there,” he muttered as he pointed to two men gingerly making their way up a cramped path in the mountain. One of them was dressed in dark colors, but the other was clad in golden armor that reflected every minute ray of sunlight that managed to break through the thinning layer of clouds overhead.

From the other side of the clearing, the trio heard the sound of heavy boots crunching against rock. “That could be someone else,” Blink spoke as she crouched and took a few steps over to try and get a better look.

“We have the high ground… This should be easy pickings,” Violet whispered back as she retrieved the Lancer. “We’ll just pick them off before they get a chance to r—” Before the woman could finish her plan, Victor Wolfe slammed the syringe into her neck and smashed down on the plunger. Violet Uzamaki’s eyes went wide as her elbow found the former assassin’s face. As Victor stumbled, he heard the whir of the Lancer, and he felt the first few bursts of automatic fire tear through him.

The gun fell quiet though, as its owner—the area around the needle wound a spreading black pestilence—let out a whimper and collapsed. Even as her body twitched against her will, the mixture of shock and anger never left her eyes until her body collapsed into black ashes that were scooped up into the wind.

“Violet!”

Victor turned faintly and watched as Blink rushed at him. The mutant lashed out with a heavy kick that threw her friend’s killer to the ground.

A thousand thoughts burned through her mind as she raced to retrieve the rifle still resting a few yards away. She managed to scoop it up just as the gold-plated man and his ally made their arrival. Blink swung the rifle and mashed the trigger as the arrow sank into her shoulder and threw her to the ground. The burst went wide of its intended target, but the mutant didn’t let the ringing in her head stop her from trying to line up another shot. Before she could, the Power Pole smacked the barrel of the gun and knocked it from her grasp. Blink turned to see its wielder, Victor, wearing the same smirk as the other two men.

“You played us.” Blink muttered.

“All’s fair in this place,” Victor replied as Gilgamesh walked over and hooked an arm around the man.

“It’s not over,” Blink replied as a wave of pink energy flared up beneath her. The woman dropped through, leaving behind some glowing pink residue.

The mutant appeared on the far end of the plateau and turned to make her escape, but her intended path brought her right into the chest of a man in elegant armor. A gauntleted fist crushed around Blink’s throat as the oxygen stopped reaching her brain. She heard the sound of approaching boots and knew that the others were coming to finish the job.

With all the desperation the mutant could muster, she used a free hand to create another portal beneath the marine. He let out a grunt as he toppled down through the portal, his grip weakening enough that Blink was tear it away before Doomguy vanished.

The marine dropped out of another portal and crashed atop the other three men. Before any bullets or arrows could follow her, Blink was over the edge and down the mountain.
