Rupture in the City
Chapter 10
Joe flipped onto the ground, narrowly missing being slashed by the woman's knives on the thing that was attached to her arm. She kicked the woman away so she could regain her feet.
She jumped at the woman whom was blocking her every attack with equal skill. To the woman's apparent disgust, Joe blocked all her moves as well.
They were apparently making very little progress in this: They had equal speed and strength as they tested each other for weaknesses. Their skills were very different, but that only kept each other at a distance.
Joe realized the instant their fists met that this was a match to the death. If she made a mistake, she'd be killed in an instant. Strangely enough a part of her was very comfortable with those terms. It actually ENJOYED the battle! She did like that realization. This was not a game!
She swung out again, grasping the woman by her unbladed hand and swinging her out of reach again. She knew she could keep the woman at a distance for so long. Eventually one of them would get tired and make a fatal mistake. She prayed that it wouldn't be herself, and that Jack and Michael would be safe as she distracted this crazy woman!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ser'et-na watched the battle with interest. As the females battled, it became more and more apparent that he had been correct in his assumption about the rumors of the earth female.
It was a mystery if the ooman knew herself. There was no question that she was earth born, but in her blood was most surely the genetic structure of a yautja's slave! It explained her almost instinctive ability to fight and her unnatural protectiveness of the young blood. It must have been genetically implanted by at least one of her parents...a fighter no doubt. Earth culture had hidden these traits very cleverly. He wondered how many others shared her bloodline without knowing. How many others had her strength and instincts? If it spread into the wild ooman population as strongly as it had with this one, how much more interesting would oomans be in a few generations?
"That is enough Awu'asa." He called to Armor, now ready to capture the female now that his suspicions were proven true.
To his surprise, Awu'asa completely ignored him! As a matter of fact, she started to jump into the battle with even more aggression than ever! The female fell back, surprised by the sudden new assault.
Before he could react to Awu'asa's disobedience, he heard a loud explosion behind him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael stared at the three warriors. He knew Jack couldn't see them, they were invisible to his eyes like they were when they attacked Joe and him before at their last apartment.
The warriors moved threateningly to try to surround them...four. The fifth was watching Joe fight. A whine escaped his throat, hoping she'd be okay. He KNEW he shouldn't have left.
Jack stumbled back. All he could see was the shaped air moving as the cloaked yautja advanced.
Michael decided standing around was NOT going to help. With a sudden jump, he shoved one of the smaller aliens, meaning just about his own height, onto the pavement.
As the giant fell, his shoulder gun-thing went off, loudly blowing up a car and destroying a fire hydrant, the burning remains of the car let off a shrill screech of an alarm. A very large black woman stood there and screamed at the explosion.
The water that rained from the fire hydrant made their cloaks malfunction. And the fallen alien Michael knocked down appeared directly in front of the LARGE woman.
Jack stared in shock as the things appeared. The woman screeched even louder, wide eyed. As the Giant alien tried to get up, she beat him a few times with a very big neon pink purse while screaming at him. Makeup, coupons and a dozen other woman-type things went flying everywhere as she beat him. The Aliens seemed to be at a loss at what to do, especially the one being beat with the pink purse! The scene was so comical Jack had to laugh, even as death was looking him in the eye!
The woman dropped the purse and ran screaming up some stairs and slammed the door to her apartment behind her.
If they didn't have the neighborhoods attention, they sure as hell had it now!
~~~~~~~~~~
Lev'in-de, still stung by the blow to his ego that the slave, Awu'asa, had given him in their battle earlier. Felt double humiliation as the earth yautja, even younger than himself, caught him off guard and knocked him to the ground. He was shocked, speechless by the huge ooman and burning when it went into hysterics! The thing HAD to be pregnant to be that huge! A damn litter too, no doubt!
Lev'an-de turned a murderous glare on the cornered yautja. He was going to teach him a lesson about attacking his betters!
He lunged at the young one but was not ready for the earth-raised weaklings response however!
The young one twisted around, dodging his attack and kicking him in the back of his head for his trouble! Before he could turn, the young one grabbed the top of a tree limb and put his weight on it. With a quick swing, the young one kicked him and another warrior beside him strongly in the rib cage!
The young one dropped to the ground and tripped a third then rammed the fourth in the gut with his head. That didn't feel too good being the fourth wore hard Armor there.
~~~~~~~~~
"Where did you learn THAT???" Jack demanded as Michael rubbed his head.
"Movies, videos games...and Joe." Michael replied.
Jack snorted. Of course Joe! Why didn't he think Joe wouldn't have taught him to fight. DUH!
"That was great Mike... but one veeerrry important question."
"What?"
"Why the hell didn't you go Mortal Combat UPSTAIRS!!??"
"Joe told me not to hit girls! It's rude!"
"There's an exception when the girl is trying to KILL YOU!!"
Suddenly, strong arms grabbed a hold of them. Two MUCH bigger aliens had snuck up on them and pinned them effectively.
This was not good....
~More soon to come.~

Joe wiped the blood from her mouth. So the woman was holding out on her was she?? Well, it seemed like it was time to stop stalling and get serious....
~More soon to come.~
