(Skullgirls OST: Moonlit Melee)

"- Time for your physical..."

Everything all around went into a slow motion. Or perhaps, Soldier was just crazy and she was imagining all of this, but for one thing that Soldier was certainly sure of - Was this perky-boobed Nurse actually threw a set of eight scalpels directly at her for a split second after her seductive end of the statement. - Soldier did her best to react to the sharp tools thrown like shurikens, only for her left hand to be sliced cut by one of the scalpels by the time she immediately dodged.

As she successfully dodged the scalpels, minus getting cut by one, Soldier immediately focused on the Nurse, who on the other, dashed toward her with a ripsaw in hand. A swift, dash probably even faster than Scout only gave Soldier about one point five seconds to react to which she did.

As the Nurse finally got closer to her, Soldier immediately pulled out her Shovel but only to her surprise - The Nurse leaped above and began crashing herself, face first, with her ripsaw ready to slice Soldier.

"NOT SO FAST!" Soldier shouted as she immediately raised her shovel to block the ripsaw. Thankfully it did it's job, but the Nurse was too quick that she began tripping Soldier down on the ground. "AAAAGH - NO..! YOU BIG BREAST WOMAN!" Soldier yelled while trying to ignore the pain.

"Soldier!" Turning her head to Merasmus, who was now blocking a crowd of terrified children, Soldier shouted. "GET THE CHILDREN OUT OF HERE, MAGGOT! I'LL HANDLE THIS BIG-BOOBED NURSE!"

"As if yours aren't as big as mine..? Hmph..." Soldier blocked the ripsaw with her shovel, but unfortunately, the Nurse quickly yanked it away off her hand. Forcing Soldier to block the Nurse's ripsaw with her own wrist while bleeding a hand herself. "Oh, you're bleeding? Want a bandaged?"

Soldier gritted her teeth while trying to fight back and ignoring the Nurse's mocking at her. Glancing quickly to where Merasmus and the rescued children where, Soldier saw the Wizard immediatly escorting the children away in just a moment's time for her to focus only at the Nurse alone. - The ripsaw was slowly forcing it's way down to her chest. Soldier was clearly out of options as she was clearly weighed down by the Nurse on top of her, with a ripsaw slowly forcing it's was down to her chest.

"YOU NAUGHTY NURSE! YOU WANNA FIGHT LIKE A WOMAN - THEN I'LL GIVE YOU THE FIGHT OF A WOMAN!" As someone crazy as herself, Soldier had no choice left - But to grab the Nurse by her revealing chest. Ripping down her outfit, and tightly laced bra underneath.

"Agh!?" The Nurse yelped in surprise, as her bare chest, both dangling immediately distracted her to be taken back away from killing the Soldier.

Soldier smugly snickered as she took the chance to slap aside the Nurse real hard before she manages to get her own bearings. "HAH! HOW YOU LIKE THAT, SISTER? YOU FIGHT LIKE A GIRL! FIGHT LIKE A WOMAN!" Soldier smugly remarked at the Nurse as she immediately went to grab her shovel. The Nurse however, looked back at Soldier with a murderous glare in her single red pupil eye. Soldier only noticed that now, that the Nurse had a white crossed marked eye patch on her right eye.

As the Nurse immediately clothed her chests back on, Soldier kept laughing like the deranged lunatic that she is only for the Nurse to interrupt her. "Deadly Cross!" A small stream of crossed shurikens were sent toward Soldier.

The shurikens, sure enough, hit her but the worst of it was the Nurse dashing toward her. Soldier was now getting furious as she was finally engaged into a close combat sequence with the nurse. Sure enough, like the ninja she is, the Nurse was faster than Soldier as her fists and ripsaw moved around too fast, deflecting and mostly forcing its attacks at Soldier - Who was struggling to keep her pace up with the Nurse. Soldier was losing the fight as it was proved when the nurse stunned Soldier with a kick then shortly for a glimpse - The Nurse pulled out a defibrillator and began charging. "Clear!"

This sent Soldier flying backwards on the open road due to the impact. She laid there for three seconds, then her eyes closed. "Just another DOA..." She heard the Nurse simply comment before the traces of her steps walking away. The Nurse was wrong, though.

As the Nurse began walking away to go after Merasmus and the children, Soldier's eyes went wide opened. Then a huge maniac smile crept on her face. Like what the Scout does - Soldier immediately got up and dashed toward the unaware Nurse "C'MERE, CUPCAKE!" "AGH!?" *THWACK* Soldier slammed her shovel at the Nurse with enough force that she actually stunned the scant woman, but it didn't ended there as Soldier roundhouse kicked the Nurse in the jaw - Sending her flying backwards way before Soldier immediately went to grab her foot with both hands and threw her on the side of the van with a loud thud, even denting the van visibly.

The Nurse moaned in pain. But awkwardly enough for Soldier, it almost sounded a woman pleasuring herself. "STOP MOANING, WOMAN! YOU WILL NOT DISTRACT ME ON MY BATTLEFIELD!" Soldier yelled. Though, no response - Soldier frowned as her face began flushing red from the last moans of pains before the Nurse finally went out unconscious. Why she didn't killed this Nurse, Soldier didn't know. But what she does know was that she cannot leave this woman behind in the middle of this empty street. A scantily clad woman like her can end up in the worst places and situations while being unconscious herself...

"GAAAAH... WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS!?" Soldier whined at herself before grabbing all of the Nurse's equipment, then putting it all on her inventory, but as for the Nurse, Soldier cursed loudly before slouching the woman on her shoulder and proceeded to carry the Nurse, awkwardly, while Soldier began on her pursuit fo find Merasmus.


...

"It's all right, children... Everything will be okay now, I assure you all..." Merasmus slowly said to the children in assuring tone. The children, most of them were all crying in fear - Most of them now at trauma and to make things worse was that Merasmus warn good enough on calming things down such as children. "Uhhh... Please, children don't cry you're all safe now. You're all-" Merasmus heard steps of running, but as he immediately spun around - It wasn't Soldier as he was hoping to see. But a squadron of Black Egrets with their firearms, all trained at him by the time they surrounded quickly.

"Let's keep this nice and calm, big guy. Just release the children. It doesn't have to get violent." The acting leader of said squad calmly said through his slightly muffled gas mask.

"Oh, thank god! The Black Egrets! Listen, I am not the criminal here - In fact, my companion and I only stumbled upon a gang of mafia, the Medici, and we've successfully rescued these poor children from kidnapping!" Metals immediately responded while trying his best to sound as persuasive as possible.

The soldiers were signaled by their leader to lower their firearms before focusing back on Merasmus. "Do you swear that you are telling us the truth? If so, then we will have to take you with us for interrogation."

Merasmus nodded rapidly. "Yes! Yes, I am telling the truth! And I am willing to go with you and speak to Princess Parasoul as well, as my companion and I are clearly on such a dire situation."

"Where is your companion?" The soldier asked while looking around a little confused.

Merasmus looked around. Much to his disbelief, there wasn't any sign of Soldier elsewhere. He cursed loudly by the time he couldn't see her approach from anywhere. "Dammit..! She must've went after the stray Medici from that group we've fought..."

"We'll have a team dispatched to look for your companion. But for now, you need to come with us for questioning." Merasmus hears the soldier speak once again, to which he simply gave a small nod.

"All right. But the children..." "They'll be safe, we will escort them to the nearest hospital and have their injuries tended to while contacting the NMPD to investigate about their kidnapping." Merasmus sighed in relief before giving a gentle, assuring smile at the children, who all stopped crying while all huddled behind him. "I would like to request for Princess Parasoul's acquaintance if I will be interrogated." Merasmus then added as he turned to the soldiers.


(Skullgirls OST: Echoes)

"DAMMIT, MERASMUS! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU HIDING NOW?" Soldier looked around the empty street, then went to another, and their, until she arrived on another street with vehicles passing by. Soldier cursed as she decided to keep her pace north, while carrying the unconscious Nurse.

Out of options, Soldier decided to have a fall back plan of her own. But she couldn't just leave the Nurse behind, she may still be useful later for questioning. But getting the idea of which, Soldier was in luck when she found hotel. Not too fancy, but not too shabby either. Soldier immediately carried the Nurse to the hotel across the road then to the main lobby.

"I NEED A ROOM FOR TWO WOMEN!" Soldier immediately began by the time she approached the receptionist, who eyed her then the Nurse in surprise, but visible curiosity.

"Two women, Ma'am?" "YES! TWO WOMEN! THIS IS URGENT!" Soldier impatiently responded, surprising the receptionist even more who blinked her eyes a couple of times. "Um, yes sure, Ma'am. We have plenty of rooms available. Would like to check in for the night, or-" "GREAT! WE'LL CHECK IN FOR THE NIGHT." Soldier immediately reached for her backpack and pulled out a wad of five thousand dollars cash - A small sum of her monthly eigth hundred grand pay which she rarely spend other than funds for her rocket launcher needs.

The receptionist looked at the cash in confusion, then back at Soldier. "Um... Ma'am. We only accept Canopy coins. About 4,000 Canopy coins for a room." "I'M FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, MISS! I HAVEN'T CONVERTED MY AMERICAN DOLLARS INTO COINS YET." This surprises the receptionist even further, but nodding politely, she gladly accepted the 5,000 dollar cash then kindly gave Soldier a numbered key. "Room 406, at the fifth floor. Ma'am." "THANKS!"

Soldier gladly took the key then marched to a nearby elevator, regardless of glances thrown her way as she carried an unconsciously, scant Nurse slouched on her back. "Mmm... Ohhh..." The Nurse moaned quietly. Soldier frowned before blushing in distaste from the Nurse's moaning. Soldier rapidly pressed the button to the fifth floor impatiently while trying to ignore the Nurse's soft moans.

By the time they reached the fifth floor, Soldier immediately ran to the room then brought in the Nurse with her. After locking the door behind, Soldier began tying the Nurse on a chair with the blanket around her. "THERE. NOW WAKE UP." Soldier impatiently said as she sat on the edge of the bed with her arms folded. "WAKE UP!"

The Nurse, surprisingly snapped awake before looking around almost frantically to find herself in a medium sized room. "What the-" She quickly notices Soldier right in front of her, then the Nurse glared. "You... Where am I?" The Nurse demanded.

"I ASK THE QUESTIONS HERE WOMAN! WHAT DID YOU WANTED TO DO TO THOSE CHILDREN?" Soldier spat in response. Rather angrily.

"Hpmh... None of your business." The Nurse simply replied, only angering Soldier even more.

"IT IS MY BUSINESS NOW, WOMAN! I AM HERE TO HUNT DOWN THE SKULLGIRL! WHATEVER THAT IS! AND THOSE MAFIA BASTARDS ARE SURELY CONNECTED TO THIS CURRENT ENEMY!" Soldier barked eigth in front of the Nurse's face - Who had to move back further against the chair due to Soldier's saliva spraying on her surgical mask.

"You..? Hunting down the Skullgirl? With that oversized friend of yours? Don't make me laugh..." Soldier was posses by this and began to grab the Nurse by her outfit, pulling her back.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS, BUT SO LONG AS THERE'S WAR - ITS MY BUSINESS! YOU GOT THAT?" The Nurse didn't dazed by the threatning statement. But instead, chuckled shortly before responding. "You don't know what you're dealing with... Every seven years? This happens... And if you think you got what it takes to put her down... You're wrong - Because you'll only have to fight another and new Skullgirl from arising after another seven years. And look at you. You're obviously not from here... What chances do you have against the Skullgirl, especially when you don't even know what she is capable of?"

Soldier gritted her teeth in frustration. "I'VE FOUGHT WORSE ON REAL BATTLEFIELDS THAT NO WELL-TRAINED SOLDIERS COULD SURVIVE! THIS IS A WALK IN THE PARK FOR ME!" The Nurse laughed shortly. Rather, insultingly at her response.

"That so..? Well... If you insist... Why don't we make a deal... You untie me up, and..." "AND?" There was a very long pause. The Nurse was clearly studying her entire physic for long moment. Soldier blushed but glared at the woman. "I AM NOT TOUCHING BODIES WITH YOU FOR THAT KIND OF DEAL!" Soldier immediately covered her clothed figured with her arms around while glaring at the Nurse. The Nurse only rolled her eyes. "Oh, please... Don't get any ideas... I was studying your physic... See if you do have what it takes to combat the Skullgirl... Considering how you've managed to knock me out unconscious... I'm surprised you even survive my Forbidden Procedure technique - When barely anyone survives... Quite fascinating..."

Soldier rolled her eyes before questioning. "THEN WHAT IS YOUR EXCHANGE?" This surprises the Nurse. But then chuckled before responding.

"Untie me. And maybe we can work on a deal - Maybe even give you a position as a unit the Anti-Skullgirl Labs... We can sure use some... Unique inhuman abilities like yours, and that way - We don't even have to fight each other again... Deal?"
