Amber was laying prone on her stomach staring through the scope of a sniper rifle as she felt Mailine's hand on her shoulder.
"The target just appeared threee clicks east and seven click north of his previous location." Madeline told her.
Amber gave her a thumbs up after she adjusteded her position and focus on the target. They had been tasked to find and eliminate a high ranking official of the reptiles and to get out without leaving any evidence behind to link the assassination back to them. Amber tracked the target until he was behind a stone wall and when he was out of everyone's sight Amber smiled. Her sniper glowed slight as the bullet was hardened and an x-ray enabled scope materialized on top.
"It always weirds me out when you do that you know." Madiline told her.
Amber shrugged her shoulders as she tracked the reptile through the wall and when she saw that he far enough away from the rest she shot him in the head. The bullet was crafted to go through the wall like a knife through paper so when it the reptilian commander it had barely lost any kinetic energy and actually threw the corpse a few feet. They both got up and Amber led the way as she leapt through the open window at the other side of the building with Madiline trailing a little ways behind her. Amber turned her comlink back on and waited for the confirmation.
"Blake get the transport ready, we'll be exiting the alley at the intersection of Baham and Kaso." Amber told him.
Once they got to the end of the roof they leapt into the next building over and continued to sprint. They ran down the stairs two steps at a time and Amber kicked out at the stairwell door and the two women charged out the front doors of the hotel. A plain white sedan pulled and the passenger side window rolled down to reveal a leopard driving. Amber kept going as the leopard rolled down the rest of the windows; Amber tossed Madiline into the passenger side of front of the car as she dove into the back.
"Drive!" Amber yelled at Blake.
He slammed his foot down on the accelerator and shot forwards as reptiles poured out of a nearby building. Amber materialized a pistol and peeked over the back over the seats at the pursuers. She focused quickly and started to fire off rounds; hitting several reptiles causing others to trip over the bodies. She got dematerialized the pistol and materialized a tommy gun. She emptied a few clips before the gun dissappeared and an rpg appeared; which she fired into the center of the group as the sedan turned a corner.
"Shit." Blake cursed. "We're trapped."
"Cover me then." Amber told him as she surveyed the huge pile of boulders in the way.
Blake and Madiline watched as Amber walked up to the block in the road and ran her hand along it. As she heard the reptilian pursuers get ever closer she materialized a sword with a thin blade. She took a few practice swings against the rocks before she rotated slightly and swung the blade into the rocks. The sword went through the rocks and they started to disintegrate. After all the boulders where gone Amber stumbled back towards the car and Blake helped her into the back seat so that she could lay down.
"That was amazing." Blake whispered.
"Just let me sleep." Amber told him as she curled up on the back seat.
Blake got back in the driver's seat and started the car again and continued to drive.
"So has she ever told you how she can do ya know?" Blake asked Madiline.
Madiline look in the rear view mirror to see Amber sleeping soundly with her back to them.
"No, I mean we've grown close over the past three months but she never talks about her power." Madiline replied as the ruined city opened up to broad expanses of country side.
Blake nodded as he focused on the dirt road ahead of them.
"I've actually always been jealous of her." Blake told her.
"Why is that?" Madiline asked him.
"She just seemed so confident about herself and so able in everything she has done and plans to do." Blake replied.
Madiline nodded as she looked out the window and watched as the trees shot by.
