EPISODE 9
Pride couldn't believe it. There standing opposite of him on the other side was someone he thought he had made a deal with. The Protectors were supposed to be on the Mall Rats' side not Zoot's. He felt his gut wrench at the thought of this betrayal. That witch! She used him and she used him good. He could now see that. And he like the love sick puppy he had been fell right into the trap. Men really didn't think with their brains but with their libido.
And what got Pride the most was that she was standing there next to Zoot, looking all proud and smug. She had a smile painted across her lips as she looked out over the capture Mall Rats. She ordered her troops, dressed in similar garb to Zoot's army, around the Mall Rats, securing them..
She locked eyes with him. And Pride looked for any hope, anything in them that told him that this was all a rouse. But her eyes were unemotional, blank. His despair grew, there was no hope for the Mall Rats, and the city now.
"I thought you said you're little eco-warrior princess was on our side," Lex hissed at Pride, but Pride didn't say anything. He stared at Faith with contempt and anger.
"I think you've upset them my dear," Zoot said to Faith as he turned to her, mocking the Mall Rats, "Especially the Gaian. Did you promise them something?"
"I only said I would be at their side, it was there fault for believing me," Faith said with a smirk as she turned to Zoot, "Besides it's the early bird that gets the worm, and you did come to me before them."
Pride gritted his teeth as he heard this exchange of words between Faith and Zoot. 'Their fault for believing me'? The lying whore!
"Well the Mall Rats always did have that fault for trusting people they didn't know," Zoot said, he moved closer to her, and brought a gloved hand up to Faith's hair and pulled her close to him and kissed her. The two stood there for a few minutes "making out" in front of their troops and their captives.
Pride wanted to be sick. He felt now truly betrayed by the Amazon. She was two-faced and deceiving. He thought they had made a promise with each other, but now he truly knew what she was like. He had been right at the beginning to not trust her. But he had been caught in her web.
But what Pride didn't see was that behind Faith's back she made a signal to her Protectors with her free hand, the other being around Zoot's neck. This was the signal that the Protectors had been waiting for, they turned quickly from the guarding the Mall Rats and began attacking Zoot's army. And they did it swiftly, for within minutes they had overpowered the unknowing army. Meanwhile Faith had grabbed Zoot's hand and twisted it behind his back, holding him there.
Faith looked over to the Mall Rats, "I hope you guys didn't mind that acting, but needed to boost Zoot boy's ego," she said as she tightened her grip on Zoot as he tried to struggle away.
"You two-faced cow!" Zoot spat, which made Faith twist his arm even more.
Pride looked to Faith, had she really been acting? He was amazed what she had done. Just when he and all the Mall Rats thought they were at a loss, she turned the tables around. Perhaps she wasn't that bad after all.
In Pride's thoughts, he had lost sight of what was going on, and within moments Zoot had actually overpowered Faith and now held a knife to her throat. The Protectors went forward, wanting to protect their leader, but Zoot put the knife even closer to her throat.
"You come another step closer, I'll slit her throat!" he said fiercely. He started to back away down the stairs and towards the exit. No one did anything but watch, making sure that they wouldn't do anything that would send Zoot over the edge. "If any of you follow me....this pretty little thing will be dead within seconds," and with that he and Faith were gone from the Mall.
