Amber had been marveled by the magical bean the Syntech employees gave her. As soon as she put it in her mouth her wounds vanished, as if they’d never been there. If she didn’t pay attention, though, she would quickly get injured again. Kuzuru’s chain left an unruly red mark around her wrist, like wearing a hair tie around it for too long. The faunus rubbed her injury as the two spoke, trying to sooth the slight pain in her hand.
“Leader of the Ashen Blades, huh? Sounds like you’re taking the Patron of Atlas a little lightly, don’t you think?” she mentioned with a slight grin. “I’m no pushover, assassins don’t scare me.”
Truthfully, the faunus knew Kuzuru was dangerous. He had led an expedition in the Frozen Fields to kill a psycho-maniac. Ballad, who was starting a criminal organization there to literally obliterate everything in it. He and his group of assassins, mercenaries or whatever, were a force to be reckoned with.
“Then we’ll see just who’s the better leader!” Kuzuru called out as he launched his chain back at the faunus. The faunus planted her feet onto the back of the snow-white steed, riding the equestrian animal as a snowboard.
“Alright Blizzard, let’s show this fool how much he underestimates my valor.” The horse gave verbal feedback with a whinny and picked up it’s speed, closing in on her adversary. The faunus grasped the long medieval lance, provided by Karl Jak when she was teleported onto the animal. A lance was well out of her comfort zone, but fuck it, she’ll make it work.
The two thundered towards each other. A haze of dust clouded the arena, covering the air in a slight brown mist. Dirt nestled itself into the girl’s nose, clouding her strong senses. But her focus remained on Kuzuru. He was preparing another attack, swinging his chain overhead, ready it to be thrown at any moment. Just as they got close, Kuzuru started to inhale. As he puffed up like a bullfrog, Amber instinctively took defensive countermeasures. She dripped down the side of her horse, who in turn let out a pained sound as needles dug deep into it’s skin. Even so, it did not bleed or stop. Amber held on to the saddle and ran beside Blizzard, barely being able to keep from tripping. Her hand nailed into the cracked leather that anchored her by at least ten different needles. She winced painfully. That was her good hand. She wouldn’t be able to swing as well with her right hand, but that wouldn’t hold her back.
“Sorry Blizzard, but you’re solid portable cover.” The huntress complimented as she lugged herself back onto Blizzard. The equestrian beast retorted with an annoyed huff of air, but obliged and reared back around, speeding towards her enemy whose back was turned. Amber took the lance in her right hand and made an arch wide swing. Unlike a sword, it wasn’t sharp. Had it been tempered as such, she would have chopped the Blade’s leader clean in half. The lance collided with his midsection, almost knocking him off Bucephalus. His tight grip on the reins were the only thing keeping him from eating dust.
Amber jerked the reins to the side, having Blizzard make a wide turn away from the swordsman. Her hands reached for Razorback. The familiar gears hummed loudly as the mechanism clicked into position satisfyingly. Bullets tore through the air past Kuzuru, some hitting home.
Her focus averted, she wasn’t able to react when she heard the most annoying cackle ever.
“NYEHEHEHE.” It cried from behind her. “You would do well to remember there is more than one enemy on this battlefield, fool friend of fake He-man!”
Skeletor tore past the faunus and rammed her with his horse, nearly throwing her off of Blizzard’s back. The catgirl’s expression grew angry as she re-positioned herself.
“Blizzard! Catch up with bone-brain!” She called out and her white stallion charged towards the new target.
“Who are you calling ‘Bone-brain’ you dunderheaded dimwit!” Skeletor shook his fist angrily at the faunus. “Nobody insults me, The Great Skeletor!”
“I just did, stupid.” There was a moment of silence, besides the sound of tromping horses as Skeletor and Amber stared each other down.
“I will cover my throne in your skin for such insolence!” The skeleton-man screamed rearing back around to deliver his vengeance.
Amber unhooked her holster for Razorback and hooked it to the saddle of Blizzard, readying her claws. As the two came closer, Amber launched herself off her horse, knowing that she would likely be returned to it, and slashed at Skeletor with her pink razor-claws. He punched the faunus back, directly in the chest, launching her off the Overlord of Evil’s steed. The moment she hit the ground, she was forcefully floated back to her horse. As a result from the punch, excruciating pain swelled within her chest.. She didn’t expect him to be so physically powerful. Her attention returned to Kuzuru, she needed to focus on him - Broly had Skeletor handled.

"I've been neglected, harassed, beaten, and diminished all my life. What motivates me to continue? The glory of proving people wrong. Being worth more than the numbing existence offered me. To be a hero." - Amber
