Once again we have entered the batcave, searching the walls for ancient jasonglyphics telling us another story.(my name is jason for those who didnt pay attention to the bio thingy)

Mina sat up at a wooden table, the light of a candle flickered across the walls. She couldnt get how both of them together could not defeat one warrior. She knew with their failure, he would be after them to stop them from interfering with his plans in the future.

"Go to sleep, i cant sleep with that candle flickering and you thinking so loud."

"Its not thinking loud, its talking to myself," Mina told her, "But i will get some rest, we need to find another job, maybe we can get closer to paying off this building we call a base."

"Nobody calls it our base except you, I call it my home. We just happen to have our things from our jobs in here."

"Ok, well im off to bed. Night Talim," she said walking away after putting her candle out.

She lied still in the darkness until sleep fell over her.

"No, don't hurt her!" Mina was shouting.

"Too late, your friend is dead," she saw Astaroths axe buried in Talims skull.

"I will kill you Astaroth!" she shouted as she ran forward.

She threw her weapon like a spear and watch him smack it away, then she jumped and kicked with all her weight into his chest. He rocked back a little but regained his balance to notice she was gone. A sudden pain was felt in his back, she had picked up her weapon and brought it across his flesh, leaving a bloody wound aching.

"Your so soo good now are you Astaro..." she was interrupted by a fist crashing into her ribs. He stood on her wrists and she lied there, sat down on her, and looked down into her eyes, "You think that YOU could kill me? See, im the greatest warrior there is, a pathetic little girl like you can do nothing of the sort. Dont worry though, you will soon see Talim again."

He brought his fists together and raised them above his head. They drew closer, gathering speed as they came down, they were an inch above her face, her skull being splattered but then...

"Wake up Mina! It was just a nightmare! WAKE UP!" Talim shouted at her friend tossing around crying.

"What? Talim? YOUR ALIVE!" she yelled as she woke up.

She hugged Talim tight and told her all about the dream. She talked about it and Talim stayed up to comfort her friend until they fell back asleep.

The next morning they got up and dressed, then walked outside to talk to people.

"Have you heard?!" someone shouted to them.

"Heard... what?"

"There are four assassins looking for three girls, two fit your description too. Are you Talim? Are you Mina?"

"Yes we are. Who would send assassins for us?"

"They said their boss was Astaroth. Their instructions were bring your heads on the tips of pikes, the other girl was just to be kidnapped, left alive."

"And might we ask your name and how you got this information?"

"Sure. Im Kilik and its all oveer town, the assassins are coming this way next. You think you two could handle four assassins, or you want some help?

"It would be nice if you wanted to help, but we could do it if you like."

"Sure."

They all watched and saw three assassins approach them.

"You two will die," they said, "Boy, we have no dispute with you, leave or join them."

Before they could respond An assassin ran and swung at Talim with his poisoned blade. She ducked and tore through his throat quickly.

"One down!" she yelled.

Kilik had his iron rod connect with ones knee, watching him fall.

"Thats two I believe," he said.

He watched Mina fight her assassin, she blocked his sword and knocked him out, then cut his throat in his sleep.

They all were talking but Kilik fell down. They looked, his assassin had cut him on his leg. She pain was sharp. The assassin ran and Talim but was intercepted and picked up by a halberd.

"We have some antidote so you will be fine Kilik," Mina said as she put a liquid over the cut.

She turned to ask Talim something but found her knocked out, and a foot met Minas face. She rolled back but held no weapon and the assassin began to laugh.

"No weapon? Ill fight fair, for now. Until you bore me."

He punched her in the stomach then kneed her in the throat, she fell gasping for breath. He drew his blade and asked her, "ready to die?"

A scream was let out, but not of anger, of pain. She looked at his leg and a knife was sticking out, then another scream and a knife was embedded in his throat. She rolled out of the way of the blade he dropped as did his body.

"You ok," a voice came from behind.

She turned to see who it was and knew it was the girl they rescued, Taki.

"I needed to repay you for saving me, now were even," she took the bloody knives and ran off quickly.

"Wait, come back," she said to the distant figure running off back where they had come from, back to Astaroth, back to kill him.
