'You think you can beat me!' Yelled Kireek, as he parried the incoming blow, his harsh synthesised voice showing no sign of weakness.

Little Ming swung her sword at the androids face again, slower than normal so she knew he'd duck, at the same time then she brought her foot up to meet his face coming from other way with a satisfying metallic clang. That's how she liked to fight, bring 'em down to her level.

Kireek quickly recovered and went to the attack. The pair formed a strange parody of physical appearance as they backed away from each other's wild swings and into the attack, dodging and striking in the dance of the melee. Kireek was a tall purple and white android, bold and built to look imposing. Little Ming was small and all black apart from her two pure white eyes that shone in the darkness of the cave.

Both Androids with their motion detectors on full and motors working to their limits showed no sign of stopping, neither gaining any ground.

Kireek swung the handle end of his scythe into Ming's midriff, knocking her into the wall of the cave.

'Damn that Louie' she thought. 'He's probably at the intercept point; neither of us knew the leader of black paper would be here. And Kireek is using some sort of built-in hardware to stop my communications.'

She jumped up and to the side just as the blade of the scythe smashed down to where she was lying prone, the blade cutting into the rock. Ming jumped and using all her strength brought the sword round in a double-handed swing that smashed through Kireek's armour and left him in two ragged pieces on the floor.

'Nobody messes with the Ming!' She said smugly.

Then her communications automatically sprang to life.

'Little Ming! Little Ming! Your communications went down, what happened?' It was Sirtom's voice.

'Kireek was here, don't know where Louie is though.'

'Louie's fine, he's now on his way back to the ship, it was just a normal black paper transaction. What happened with Kireek? Did he get away again? And will you need repairs?'

'Well firstly it couldn't have been a normal transaction if Kireek was here, any ideas?'

'None whatsoever at the moment, unless it was a particularly rare weapon that was up for sale. I can see then why he'd want to protect his income.'

'Right. Kireek down, I'm now removing his memory bank so he can't be rebooted. Will need repairs to motors and also central circuitry.'

'Somebody like Kireek won't just disappear, he probably has followers with copies of his memory bank, he will be back.' Warned Sirtom before continuing. 'Teleport back up to Pioneer two, there's something big happening, much bigger than Black Paper and I'm going to need you there. 909 out.'

Little Ming walked over to Kireek's weapon.

'But I bet he hasn't got another one of these.' She said to herself, picking up the scythe.
