Zone C -- Megacity One

[The Future Warrior]

Her energetic rush of movement carried her out of the safehouse in a blur and for a good few blocks before it petered out. Much as no lasting damage had been done up in the colosseum, she still hurt from it all. In fact, pretty much her everything was sore. It forced her to slow down from an all-out run to a brisk jog, wincing now and then as she went. Eventually, even that bled away, leaving her to just stumble along to a stop. "Ow ow ow..." One hand came up to massage at the side of her head where she'd been shot. "...stings a lot...when did guns and stuff get so strong?"

The dull pain spreading out from the shotgun blasts she'd taken wasn't helping either. She didn't have lungs to be damaged or make her breathing labored, but still...she was feeling the effects of it all. Like being short of breath. She took the opportunity to rest and let the pain ease off, sitting down on a damp bench on the roadside and checking her tablet and map again. She was definitely headed in the right direction, at the least! At this pace, she should be able to get there before the sun hit noon!

...of course, her pleasant mood was interrupted by a sudden hissing voice calling out "Sspotted her!" and the swift approach of more than one pair of footsteps.

She sprang up, flipping back over the bench and landing in a protective, defensive crouch, peering through the fog warily. Her eyes first landed on the towering, green form of Cell, leering at her with one eye. Shortly following after him, looking somewhat unsteady, was Archer. "It's you guys again!" she said after a moment. "Were you...following me?"

"Oh, uh...yeah. I guess you could say that," the not-so-secret agent offered as he jogged up into easier talking range. "Whoo...gimme a second. Give her the spiel, bug-man..."

Cell's one remaining eye narrowed, turning to focus on the majin. "Sso, let'ss make thiss short..." he started. "...item drop just up ahead. Lot of people around the island teaming up. We don't wanna roll alone. And it'd be a good show for the folkss at home if we joined up."

The majin seemed to be considering this, her eyes darting from one of her former opponents to the other several times. "....well..." Finally, she straightened up, back to a regular standing posture. "...okay then! I guess there is safety in numbers, in a place like this! Until we have to fight again in the Colosseum or get separated or something, we can work together!" She did lift a hand to point at Cell. "Gonna be keeping an eye on you, though."

"Real fuckin' ffffffffUNNY!" the insect-man snarled, his voice rising into a frantic hiss of pain as electricity arced across his body, leaving him sizzling and smoking.

"Great! Then let's go, the item's this way!" She brought her tablet up to check, spinning around to point off in the proper direction, and breaking off into a brisk run.

"Does she ever run out of energy?" Archer puffed as he started after her.

"Thiss was your idea," Cell reminded him, loping along after.
