Jack : " You're winning this time around you say, (grin) kid the only reason you're even still alive right now is because I let you. Don't mistake that with the delusion that I won't kill you. Just go home… "
Alesul : " Sounds to me like you're scared of getting your ass handed to you. Besides I made a promise to the old man, and I intend to keep it "
Jack : " you gotta be a special kind of dumbass or something, fine have it your way. JUST DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU !!! "
Alesul : " Fine by me ( smirk ) "
Jack then dashed towards Alesul, aiming straight with his dagger as he tried to stab Alesul's face. Alesul then evaded the blade as he stepped to the side at the last second. This left Jack wide open as he over committed to his attack, Alesul then took notice of this opportunity striking Jack in the chest with an open palm. In that split second Scotch's eyes widened as he was left surprised by what he had just witnessed, seeming as this attack was different from the ones that came before. This attack although seemingly harmless at first glance was strong enough to cause serious damage towards Jack as he was left stunned for a moment . Alesul then took this opportunity to catch his breath as the blow had also sent Jack back a few feet allowing Alesul to fully enter into his new fighting stance.
Jack mentally : " W-what the hell was that last attack… it was like it went straight through me "
Scotch internally : " The dancing tiger's palm… I wonder where he learned something like that, Alesul you keep getting more interesting by the minute "
Alesul : " Like I told you before, I'm winning this fight "
Jack : " Bullshit… that was nothing more than a lucky shot it won't happen again kid "
As Jack got ready to attack once more Alesul then entered into a fighting stance he had not showcased prior to this moment. His stance was balanced yet dynamic in its entirety. His feet stood a shoulder's -with apart for stability. His knees slightly bent, followed by his left arm stretched forward as his right arm guarded. Jack then took the initiative though to his surprise as he tried to move, his body began to feel the true after-effects of Alesul's last attack. Which then caused Jack to cough up blood as he began to stumble slightly .
Jack : " W-what the hell did you do to me ?
Alesul : " Nothing special Just a technique I learned a while back, by attacking pivotal points in your body I can bypass your natural physical defenses "
Alesul internally : " though it's not like I can continuously use it, since I never fully understood it.
10 MINUTES PRIOR
Somewhere on the other side of the warehouse. Julie was still at odds with her self, unable to find a way to rescue Kobra.
Julie : " Come on Julie, now isn't the time to feel sorry for my self. Kobra's waiting for you to come and save him, Alesul and Scotch are also doing their best too "
Julie : " Now… how to get him back without being spotted by these guys, let's see "
Julie then began to take in her surroundings taking in as much details as she could, from the number of Outlaws present to the number of aisle's she could use to her advantage. Though the odds were stacked against her she still felt pretty confident in her ability, the only thing that could keep her from succeeding was the one miss calculation. That being the location of the key, on the other hand Julie had experience when it came to picking locks meaning not having the key was just a slight inconvenience. Julie then put her plan into action as she grabbed the first thing's she could get her hands on, the. Immediately throwing them in opposite directions from where she was, the sounds of these objects hitting the ground immediately alerted the outlaws.
Random outlaws : " W-what was that, you guys heard that, it was probably a rat or something stop being such a wuss, it came from two different directions,someone's probably here let's go check it out "
Julie : " Great they took the bait, now… all that's left is to take care of the last one, he looks like he's asleep so it shouldn't be to difficult to deal with him "
As the other outlaws were out of sight, Julie quietly and cautiously made her way towards the last outlaw. As she did so, Julie noticed that this particular outlaw was in fact the one with the key she was looking for. As a rather large silver key that hanged off of his side.
Julie internally : " THIS MUST BE THE KEY TO THAT STUPID CAGE ! "
In thief like fashion Julie seized the key as quickly and quietly as she possibly could, though in all honesty things seemed a little to easy for her liking, though she was not one to complain. Julie then turned her immediate attention back towards the metal cage where Kobra was being held.
Julie : " Kobra I'm here "
Kobra : " b-big sis… what are you doing here "
Julie : " Shhh, no time to explain let me open this damn lock first "
Julie struggled as she tried to open the lock placed on the metal cage. But after a short while she finally managed to unlock it freeing Kobra from the cramped blood stained metal prison that confined him. Kobra Immediately hugged Julie as tears began to flow from both of their eyes.
Julie : " I'm sorry you had to go through all of this because of me "
Kobra : " T-that's okay I always knew that you'd comeback for me eventually "
Julie : " From now on we all stick together no matter what "
Kobra : " I'll become stronger too just you wait, strong enough for all four of us "
however as much as they would of wanted to reconcile with each other it would have to be at a later time as their reunion would be short lived as the outlaws slowly began to arrive once more.
