Sorry about how uber-long it took, I have been busy with a sh** of stuff ranging from school to job-hunting and many other things. Hopefully this will herald a return of the series as many of you may have been waiting for. Also, as some good news - Season 9 for RvB is offically up so looking forward to that and using as inspiration for future chapters. ^^ Anyway, take a look of this new chap and review!
Chapter IIV – "How Not To Break A Catfight"
(Returning back to the moment outside the Wolfkrone army campsite, former Freelancer Washington rushes toward a engaged duel between the army's leader and a mysterious newcomer; clenching a broadsword in one hand while plotting out his strategy.)
Doc (watching from a distance): Do you guys think Wash is going to be okay…?
Tucker (next to Doc): Huh? Oh sure…He's a Freelancer – a bad$$ soldier. He basically lives for this sh**…
Doc: Really?
Tucker: Nah, I really don't know. He hasn't been around us for some time so who knows…
Doc: …Well, that was a spirit-breaker.
Caboose: You can break a spirit?
Doc: No – not literally…Oh, forget it. You'll never get it anyway…
Caboose: Get what?
Tucker: Caboose – shut up.
Soldier 1: Godspeed to Her Highness…! The metal witch fights like a demon!
Soldier 2: Aye!
Caboose (to the Soldiers): Geshundit!
Tucker: … (smacks his forehead and grumbles some foul language under his breath)
(All the while as the Blues shared words…and language, Hilde strikes fiercely with her flag-adorned lance and short sword although her attacks are merely swatted away by her mysterious opponent's monstrous weapon that even showed barely a hint of emotion. Thrusts from both the princess' lance and swords met a few points on her mysterious rival but this were not enough to make the automaton flinch. These were often countered by blows to Hilde's armor by both iron maiden-shaped axe and halberd head. Within a few short seconds, both combatants break to a short distance to catch their breath – at least of them was…)
? (staring coldly at Hilde): Hmm…
Hilde (panting heavily but keeping her battle pose): Huff-huff-huff…*clenches hard on her teeth and then charges to resume the assault* For the glory of Wolfkrone!
(Once more both women clashed – lance and sword clashing against the alien weapon although the contest soon turned one-sided as the Crown Princess' foe begins to unleash a series of heavy attacks that began to force Hilde to slowly give ground. In the midst the two quickly managed to lock their weapons for a bit to exchange words.)
Hilde: (growls as she uses her short sword and lance to defend)
?: …How pitiful. It seems that you lack any true power…
Hilde (insulted and slightly snarls): Pitiful? Lack true power? How dare you mock the Crown Princess of Wolfkrone, you clockwork witch! (Thrusts hard with her lance arm only for her foe to sidestep the attack and slam the shaft of her weapon onto the princess' back) Gah! (Falls to the ground hard)
? (Looks down emotionless): Hmm…
Hilde: (grunts as she struggles to get back on her feet)
?: (stares for a short minute then rises the axe part of the weapon to deliver a hard blow; soon swings it down)
Blues (minus Caboose): HOLY CRAP!
Caboose: SHEILA! HI SHEILA! DON'T YOU SAY HI BACK TO ME?
Soldiers: PRINCESS!
(As all seemed hopeless for the Germanic warrior-princess, suddenly the sound of a loud clang rang in the air, catching the attention of everyone.)
?: (Still emotionless) Hmm…
Hilde (Startled though more surprised): Wh-What…?
(Preventing the strange axehead from meeting its mark was the flat side of the broadsword held in hand by Washington.)
Washington (grunts but stays his hold steady): Ugh… (Looks to the mystery femme) Geezit…You're one strong girl, I admit that…But now I think it's time this whole lil' fight ends…What do ya say? Call it a truce or stalemate or whatever the hell ya wanna call it?
?: … (Eyes narrow slightly; suddenly slams a heel into Washington's chest)
Washington: Argh! (Stumbles back a bit from the surprise attack) The hell? (Readies himself for a fight)
Hilde: (quickly recovers and stands at the ex-Freelancer's side; also preps for battle)
?: … (Suddenly turns her back on the two and slowly begins to stroll away, shocking both battle-ready fighters)
Hilde: Halt! I said halt!
Washington: Wait – who are you? What are you?
? (Pauses after a few steps) …My name…is Ashlotte. That is all you need to know… (Continues to walk away)
Hilde: Ashlotte…?
Washington (shouts and moves a bit): Wait, hold on!
(However this proved fruitless as now the female automaton was now nearly gone from view, leaving behind two confused warriors.)
Doc: …Was that…a draw?
Tucker: I think so…Maybe.
Caboose (crying) SHEEEEEILAAAA! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME AGAIN?
Tucker: Damnit Caboose! That wasn't and never will be Sheila!
Caboose: How do you know?
Tucker…Doc, was aspirin ever invented in the Medieval Ages? Like right now?
