AN: I apologize for the long wait in between updates, but I'm preparing for a knee procedure in the next week or two, and I also apologize that this chapter was not as long as I hoped for, but I hope it meets your standards, on to the show my good friends.
"She has refused to accept out most generous offer." Wraith hissed angrily as he bowed before a holographic projection of Imperious's cloaked form.
"I foresaw as much." Imperious said lowly, which earned a confused look from Wraith.
"Not to question your wisdom, but if you foresaw she would not join us, why try and recruit her in the first place?" Wraith asked in a sincere tone.
"Just because she refuses us now, does not mean she will at a later time." Imperious began smoothly. "I have foreseen the outcome of this ordeal, and it's a beautiful sight to behold. Rest assured Wraith, everything is under control..."
-Meanwhile-
"We've waited three days Daisy, when are we going to put this plan into motion?" Dante asked his leader as Vixen and the Secret Warriors could be found standing in the training room.
"Soon." Daisy answered simply. "But for now, we train and prepare for the mission... by fighting against Vixen." Daisy said as Vixen walked forward and took a combat stance in the middle on the room.
"Um... why are we fighting Vixen?" Doreen asked her leader.
"Until we fight Wraith, Vixen will be the toughest opponent we face in combat. Put simply: we beat her, we can beat Wraith." Daisy said with a confident smile, a sentiment which was sadly not echoed by Vixen.
"I hope that's true Daisy. But while I'm a good fighter due to my training against my father and other Continuum warriors, Wraith has successfully lead an army for longer than I've been alive." Vixen said in an apologetic tone.
"That might be true Vixen, but nobody is unbeatable, Wraith included." Daisy said as she unsheathed her golden katana and walked up to Vixen.
The two bowed to each-other out of respect as Vixen summoned The Blade of Heaven, and the two young women charged at each-other...
-Later-
"That... freaking... sucked." Doreen panted heavily as she had just been defeated by Vixen, her bow and arrow had been no match for The Blade of Heaven.
"You lasted nearly three minutes that time, that's nearly double the amount of time it took me to defeat you last time." Vixen said in an optimistic tone as she planted her sword into the ground and took a sip from a bottle of water Daisy had offered her.
"Daisy, I think we need to call it a day." Kamala said in a very tired tone.
"No." Daisy said firmly. "We don't leave until we beat Vixen." Daisy said just as firmly.
"No offense Daisy, but she's each of us at least twice–"
"I don't care Dante, we keep fighting." Daisy silenced her friend, which earned groans from all but Vixen, which earned a scowl and snarl from Daisy, and that shut them all up.
"You know, there is an easy way to defeat me..." Vixen said in an enticing tone.
"Do tell." Riri said quickly, to which Vixen laughed gently.
"There is an easy way to defeat me that none of you have tried yet, and it's super obvious." Vixen said as she took another sip of water. "I'll just say it: try attacking as a team, as good a warrior as I am, a combined assault from your enchanted weapons could defeat m–" Vixen never got to finish due to Doreen shooting an arrow at her, which Vixen parried with her blade, only to have Rayshaun and Dante combine assaults with their warrior spear and battle axe respectively. "Now we're talking." Vixen said with a smile as she began dodging the incoming attacks, or blocking them with The Blade of Heaven.
"You like that, then your going to love this, Vixen!" Riri shouted as she rushed forward with her naginata and joined Dante and Rayshaun's assault, to which Vixen seemed to be having a hard time dodging and parrying the three enchanted weapons, suddenly Vixen felt Daisy's katana poke the back of her neck, which caused Vixen to lay down her blade and hold her arms up in surrender.
"That's what I'm talking about." Vixen said with a big smile as Daisy withdrew her blade from Vixen's neck. "I might be great with The Blade of Heaven, and even though your weapons aren't as strong as my sword, your combined skills are more than enough to defeat me, and if you can beat me, you can beat Wraith...
