SWEAR ALERTS ;)

Laura's P.O.V

I held my face in pain, my jaw felt as if it had been torn to shreds. A fountain of blood coated my fingers and dripped onto my shirt.

"You son of a bitch!" Luke yelled and slammed his fist into the offenders jaw. The bulky man fell back a step, probably due to shock more than anything. The man lashed out, attempting to slash Luke's face the way he had mine. Luke quickly lifted his forearm to block the blow and punched him low in the stomach;. Meanwhile the professor had kept the black clad swordsman at bay with his trusty metal pipe. I must say the professors fencing skills were quite admirable. I knew he'd make a brilliant addition to the SAVI. Clive was beating one of the SSS with the butt of his gun, he wouldn't shoot unless absolutely necessary. We always avoided killing, because that would make us as bad as Bill Hawks. I was repeatedly punching one man in the stomach, I finished him off with a knee to his balls. He writhed on the ground, clutching his privates in pain. It looked as if we had this fight in the bag, but I couldn't have been more wrong. In the span of a second, the man with the knuckle duster punched Luke straight in cheekbone. I heard an unsettling crack of bones as his arm was twisted round with the large man's free hand.

"Luke!" I yelped, running to his side. I caught him in my arms, just to fall down with him. He was, after all, only a year younger than me and quite a bit heavier than me. Clive too finished of the SSS guard with a blow to the nose and rushed to join me and Luke. While we were distracted the bulky man with the knuckle duster had grabbed Flora. With a crazed look in his eyes he pulled a pistol to Flora's temple, he was grinning like he'd won the lottery. "Let her go." I said calmly. The professor's face had paled, he looked as if he could throw up.

"Please, let my little girl go... I beg of you..." The Professor pleaded. He, too, had the look of a madman in his eyes. But it was the kind of madman that was about to lose the thing most precious to him. I held my gun out. If I got my aim right, I could hit the crazed SSS member in the brain.

"If you shoot me I'll just shoot her before I die." The man snarled.

"Don't you wan't to live?" I growled through closed teeth. The man just laughed.

"You think I honestly give a shit about living? You SAVI lot, you act as if you are so righteous. As if anybody from the SSS could just leave and start doing the right thing. You honestly think he'd let us? Pretty much every member of the SSS would love to trade places with you. But we can't okay?"

What the man said rang true. It changed how I thought about the members of the SSS forever. My mission had another meaning. I wasn't just trying to bring justice to Bill Hawks. I was trying to liberate members of the SSS.

The man was about to squeeze the trigger and stop Flora's frail heart beating. The Professor screamed

"NO!"

But apparently miracles do happen. A yellow, woman shaped blob fell from the sky and landed directly on the man's shoulders. Just in the moment he pulled the trigger she pushed the gun downwards. Flora let out a shriek of pain as the bullet lodged itself into her thigh. But she would live. The saviour dismounted the man's shoulders and swiped his feet out from under him. Flora stumbled into the Professor's outstretched arms and began to sob as the pain took over her. The woman who saved Flora continually beat the evil man until he simply closed his eyes and accepted the blows. It looked as if the woman would kill the man.

"Stop." I breathed. The woman looked at me with confusion, but obeyed. "We'll have him put in the SAVI jail cell" Clive nodded in agreement.

"Who are you, though?" Clive asked, tilting his head.

"That, my boy" The Professor adjusted his hat "Is Emmy Altava."

YAY EMMY! Who doesn't love Emmy? Just so you know Luke was unconcious which is why he didn't say anything about th attempted murder of Flora. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and see you all soon ;)
