The Black Fox
Chapter 4- N.I.B
Maria and Revy sat at the 'Yellow Flag' having a beer and a little social time with Rock and Revy while Dutch and Benny held down the fort. Bao took a glance at the new girl while shining a glass and giving the two women their bill, "So you're the Lagoon Company's new hired hand?" He asked, Maria nodded yes, "for a second there, I would have guessed you were Vietnamese,"
"Keep dreaming, Bao, this bitch ain't going to be a part of your pipe dreams," Revy scoffed taking a swig of beer, Maria elbowed her in the arm, "hey, the fuck's your problem? Don't tell me you dig pieces of shit like him?" Bao frowned at Revy, whom was putting the bartender's manhood to shame,
"Oh hell no!" Maria exclaimed slamming her stein of beer on to the table and munching on some day-old peanuts. She grabbed a hold of Rock and resting her large bosom on top of his head, "I'd rather take your Romeo here instead and watch the soccer game," turns out that on the nearest TV, the Japanese team was playing Brazil for the World Cup Finals and Brazil just scored a goal.
Revy was now officially over boiling point, "Get your hands off him, you shit-blooded cunt!" Revy shouted swinging a fist at Maria, she simply ducked and turned around facing her with a ready Automag V pointed at Revy's forehead.
Maria's look of anger slowly turned into a playful chuckle, "I'm just playin' with you, Revy," She said letting loose her grip on Rock and pulling back her pistol. She playfully tapped Revy lightly in the butt,
"Touch me there again and I rip that fucking hand off," Revy threatened not liking the Brazilian's little gesture, Maria nodded but knew that Revy, in her mind, was about as threatening as a box full kittens. Suddenly, a shotgun shell rang out in the bar and knocked out the TV.
"Shit...I missed," said a young girl with long, black hair in a black and white maid outfit and a SPAS-12 shotgun disguised as an umbrella, Maria and Revy turned around quickly with ready pistols,
"What the fuck is your deal? I was watching that!" Maria exclaimed, the girl lowered her umbrella to show a face Maria recognized immediately, "Roberta...still after my ass after all these years, why am I not surprised?" She put her pistol back in its holster and unsheathed her mighty machete,
"I don't know...you tell me, Maria Sayumi Carvalho," Roberta stared at the blackened steel of Maria's favorite blade while it's shiny edge winked at her with its silver luster, "you think a meer farm tool can kill me? You're even stupider than I thought you were 2 years ago,"
Two years ago, Maria Carvalho was put on a mission to kill the master of Lovelace Family because the head of the family screwed over a deal he made with a Brazilian druglord, so he sent the 'fox to raid the chicken coup' Maria managed to put a bullet into many a guard on duty although she spared Fabiola Iglesias and even the young master Garcia since Maria wasn't the type to kill children.
Roberta did face off against the Brazilian for about an hour but she got away. Ever since that day, Roberta has been watching and waiting for the fox to come back. When she heard Maria was in Roanapur, she simply jumped on the opportunity,
"Tell me something Maria, does every bitch with a gun have some beef with you?" Revy asked ducking behind a table avoiding getting shot by Roberta's shotgun...again,
"Not sure really, but please stay back," Maria commanded holding her machete and ready to cut Roberta to shreds, "Roberta and I have some business to take care of," Revy, being as stubborn as a wild boar, is not the kind of person who will back down from a fight, especially if it's Roberta,
"Like hell i'll stay back!" Revy blasted leaping out from behind the table, she lined up back to back with 'The Black Fox', poised and ready to do more than just fill the maid's ass full of lead, "why don't we take this outside? I'd hate to trash this place again and have Bao on my tight lil' ass again, Rock! head out the back, and pull up the car to the front!"
"Uh...right!" Rock escaped out the back door to the old 60s car parked in the back,
"Well, sadly, I'll have to end this quickly," Roberta said with a little curtesy, six or seven fragmentation grenades fell out of her skirt and danced on the floor, "I bid you ladies a fond farewell,"
"Son of a motherfuckin'-!" Revy exclaimed, Maria quickly yanked her out of the joint by the wrist which immediatley was blown sky high, Revy and Maria quickly jumped into the car, "step on it, Rock!" The tires screamed bloody murder as the salaryman put the pedal to the metal on the dirt roads which lead out to the local port,
"I hate it when she does that," Maria commented, she looked back and noticed that Roberta was running behind them, "well, some things don't change, this woman will still go after a running car, I guess that's the reputation of a hound for ya'," Roberta leaped into the air and landed on the top of the car, "well, looks like someone wants to hitch a ride," Maria and Revy fired six rounds into the top,
Rock radioed in the situation, Dutch, Dutch you there? We've got a problem!"
At the headquarters, "Lay it on me, Rock," He said calmly keeping his cool,
"She's back, that terminator maid Roberta is back!" Rock shouted into the radio, "she's on top of the car and...oh shit!" The radio broke up, Dutch looked at the hand-held and put it down on the table,
"What's up?" Benny asked, noticing Dutch was in a hurry
"Roberta's back, and she's pissed!" He said heading out the door to the pier and instructing Benny to hold the fort.
Meanwhile on the road, Roberta dodged the incoming rounds and clinged onto the trunk of the car, "I have an idea, it's stupid as fuck, but just might work, Rock! flip the car over with a hard turn!" Revy yelled at him, the three of them jumped out of the car just as it tilted on its side and rolled like a child's toy Revy and Maria shot the gas tank which erupted into a raging ball of fire which lit up the nightsky.
From the hulk of metal and flames, Roberta emerged from the wreckage unscathed, "You've got to be fuckin' shittin' me...," Revy loaded her berettas and prepared to fight, "fuckin' a, looks like we've both have to deal with this Terminator reject...again,"
On the tops of the holding containers at the port, the fight gathered a few spectators, "Oh....look like that stupid whore and fox lady gonna fight the maid, two on one not a fair fight," said Shenhua,
"Heh, numbers don't mean a thing," said Sawyer, "this maid could probably take out a whole squad of special ops soldiers,"
"Don't be such a sour-ass, Revy," Maria said, "this would be a great time to learn from the mistakes we made in the past, right?" Revy gave her a dirty look,
"What are you my fuckin' shrink?" Revy snorted back,
"No, but i'm the closest damn thing you have to one,"
"Humph...two foxes...," Roberta said pulling out two M1911 pistols from behind her back, "I must thank God for such a fortune, in the name of Santa Maria, a hammer blow of righteousness to all injustice,"
"Rock, climb up on to the holding containers honey, we'll handle this,"
"Honey?" Revy gagged, "don't start that sappy-ass shit around me, cunt-breath,"
"Alright then Roberta....," The Brazilian pulled out her crucifix and kissed it for luck and to reflect on her religious upbringing, "you're the hound, so start the damn hunt!" Maria cried charging at Roberta from behind, blazing her Automags while Revy attacked with a frontal assault, Roberta spun around and dodged the incoming rounds and shot at the two from the front and behind, her accuracy being no better.
"You two are empty," Roberta stated with Maria's cannon pointed at the back of her head and Revy had her pistol right between her eyes,
"So are you, bitch!" Revy blasted, Maria attacked with five capoeira style kicks balancing on her right hand to the back of the maid's head, knocking her to her knees, Roberta looked at the pistol in her right hand, shock to see that there were three bullets melted into the firing mechanism.
"Revy move back!" Maria commanded, Maria did a gymnastic move that would make Lateef Crowder proud and came down with a quadruple aerial somersault into a spear kick, Roberta dodged it while Maria put a good-size hole into the ground and back-flipped back into beat-driven fighting stance. Revy moved in a scored a few good hits on Roberta to the face and body and even a perfectly executed headbutt.
"Oh...I like how fox lady fights, she be a tough opponent if I fight her," Shenhua said obeservantly, since this was her first time seeing capoeira in action, "but fox lady move so much, it be hard for her to keep focus on opponent,"
"I see capoeira...looks like a gun's not your only weapon," Roberta said getting back onto her feet, and splitting out a small amount of blood, "this will make things...interesting," The fight raged on into the dark of night, beating each other to a bloody pulp. Revy and Maria, all battered and bruised, looked at Roberta whom was in just as bad a condition as they were, if not worse,
"Give it up, Roberta," Maria said calmly, "I spared your life once, hell, I just might be willing to spare it again,"
Roberta cringed at Maria's mercy, "I'll kill you....I'LL KILL YOU!" Roberta said charging in a rage, Maria jumped up and grabbed her by the neck with her knees and slammed her into the pavement. Her head bounced up from the ground, leaving her stomach open to an attack,
"She's all yours Revy!" Maria said moving out the way for Revy to the final blow, a knee to the stomach and a rising upper-cut to the chin, Roberta was down for the count, laying on the road staring up at the full moon,
"You girls ok?" Dutch said running onto the scene,
"We're fine, no worries," said Maria tapping Revy on the shoulder, "should we inform the Lovelace family about this,"
Dutch nodded, "Boss Balalaika's handling that, she said they can retrieve their lost puppy," Dutch informed the well beaten-up gun-girls, "now then, clean yourselves up, I got a new job for the three of you,"
