A.N. Just a reminder, no chapter tomorrow. Also, I borrowed a line from Hellsing Abridged.
Chapter 70 - Shit! Where's Metis
Cinder slashed at another Grimm before backflipping to allow Ghira to stab at another one. Velvet jumped over Ghira's back and slashed at two more Grimm before landing on a third one, killing it with her fall.
'Damn... Velvet's already killed more than double of what Ghira and I took down together.'
This was going well. They were making their way outside of Atlas, which supposedly meant a higher chance of encountering Grimm. But Cinder has been secretly unleashing her borrowed Authority to slowly nudge the Grimm away from them. One of the perks of being the agent of the Queen of Grimm.
Cinder turned to look at Kali, who was still protecting her daughter. Out of the six of them, only Blake would have trouble with the Grimm having trained the least. At least Metis could—
Wait, Metis doesn't have Aura!
Sure, she's part-robot but that just means she's durable. She doesn't have a magical forcefield to protect her, so every blow she takes slowly weakens her. And since Watts isn't here, no one can help repair her if she gets injured.
Actually, where is she? Cinder lost track of her a minute ago when she went into one of the buildings.
*BAM*
What the f— where'd Metis get those weapons from!
"Metis! What are you carrying!"
The young girl was carrying a gigantic backpack that was connected to two gigantic guns that were longer than Ghira was tall. Metis pointed the two barrels at a horde of Grimm and smiled widely.
"Bitches love cannons!"
Cinder watched as Metis started to mow down the Grimm around them with a rain of bullets. Looking at the sword in her hand, she shrugged and threw it over her shoulder, seeing that it was probably not needed anymore.
'She really is Rory's daughter.'
