"So is it Charlie Miss or Charlie Cannon?"

Charlie blushed as the one-eyed girl teased him. Before he could recover from his embarrassment, Lucy launched into a spiel, descriptions of more and more ridiculous events spewing from her mouth.

("Wait she KNOWS the Brotherhood? Mutated behemoths? Someone was RIDING a giant mirelurk? Oh so that's why she has that eyepatch...")

"I'm sorry about that. I don't spend a lot of time around people who find it surprising. Guess I'm just not used to it..."

Closing his gaping mouth, Charlie noticed the other girl (whose name he hadn't caught) had thankfully stopped floating and taken a seat. Johnny had also planted himself on a stool and seemed to be arguing with a talking eyebot. Normally Charlie would have been puzzled by this, but compared to what he had just witnessed... well a talking eyebot was nothing compared to a floating girl.

"Why do you ask?"

Looking back to Lucy, Charlie found her staring at him again. "W-well you see Miss, I've actually kinda been searching for the Brotherhood and...

"THAT IS CORRECT, EDITOR. ONLY YOU AND THE EYEBOT ARE MY... MOSTLY ORIGINAL CREATIONS. I... PLUCKED JOHNNY TRUANT FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE AND STUCK HIM IN FALLOUT FOR A LARK."

Charlie cut off, jumping in alarm as a booming voice resonated through the room. Hand going to his machete, he glanced around nervously, looking for the source. At that moment Johnny took a large swig of ale and collapsed.

"Finally, something stranger than me," the strange girl said.

Completely overwhelmed by the situation, Charlie slumped forward onto the table, head in his hands, mumbling incoherently.

[Hussmann54]

Oh GAWD SNIPPEIT! IM REALLY LATE

The thugs in pursuit ran into the apartments and began to spread out, scanning rooms one at a time. Two of them moved closer to Vanessa without realizing it. One armed with a crowbar, the other with a two by four with a sanded down handle.

Wanting to keep herself alive and highly preferring staying clothed, Vanessa let out a small sigh as she observed the two men coming closer to her. She spun, using her cover as leverage, and aimed her revolver at both men. She fired off a single shot at each of their chests. Since she was using her revolver, her shots weren't exactly silent... Quite the opposite in fact. [color=666666] ("...Alright, I can't run now.... Unless...") [/color]

A small idea began to hatch in her head as she waited.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

You still here?

You two haven't posted in quite a bit. I'm getting worried.

This was your last fight club post.

As Youmu's sobriety degraded, so did her patience, until finally she declared, "All right, are we getting this on or not?" raising her wooden sword into the air as she clambered into the nearest ring. "I'll take all of you on at once!"

Unfortunately, I got busy and had to drop something.

 

[Knife-28]

Well I was waiting for FalloutJack to post so Ace and Knife could have their fight.

I understand if you had other stuff that you had to do though.

Knife cocks an eyebrow at Youmu and shrugs. "Sure, bring it on short-stuff." He says, tying his hair back in what could generously be called a ponytail and shrugging off his Hawaiian shirt, revealing an intricate network of scars, tattoos, scar like tattoos and tattoo like scars. Jumping into the opposite end of the ring to Youmu he raises his right hand and flexes his metallic digits. "Show me what you got."

Meanwhile, in another sub-plot.

The good thing about department stores, such as the one Ana had taken refuge in, was that they had big plate glass windows in the front which in days past would allow potential costumers to view the wares inside. The bandits that entered the store in pursuit of, what was for many of them, the first woman they had seen in months, didn't realize that these same windows would, in a way, seal their fates. As such they were taken by surprise as rifle shots rang out across the street, striking a few of the ne'er-do wells down with lead in their backs, shattering what few windows remained and spooking the remaining rouges inside the store as they now faced an attack from both sides.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

"Show me what you got."

At Knife's challenge, Youmu looked up at him a bit before stepping back and forth in place. He looked like a tougher customer than Gensokyo's usual residents, but they could be no less dangerous from appearances. Hopefully, that'd play to her advantage.

Acting more drunk than she was, she gripped her bokken tighter as she spun around in place, making a diagonal cut at the air between her and Knife. What she'd been doing was using the spin to focus her magical energy into the blade and release it in a wave with the slash, which was now running quickly towards her opponent.

 

[Knife-28]

snop

While he had been preparing to block a blow from Youmu's bokken itself, Knife none the less managed to dodge the diagonal wave of energy, barely, with a short roll to the side. "Woah, magic girl? That's interesting." He says with a grin as he circles the edge of the ring, "Haven't fought one of you for a while."

With a quick step forward Knife unleashes a flurry of punches towards the girl. While more aimed at seeing how (or even if) Youmu would block the blows rather than actually injuring her, Knife's by no means pulling his punches.

Youmu appeared to bring her sword up to block, but again focused her magic into it, creating a shield to deflect Knife's blows. However, it quickly began wavering, and she knew she couldn't hold it forever. As she dropped the shield, she ducked a coming punch and, channeling her phantasmal speed, planted the sword into the ground to kick Knife in the face.

Knife barely manages to jerk his head back in time to avoid Youmu's kick, and ends up getting a nice close up of the girls footwear as a result. Thinking on his feet, Knife grabs Youmu's ankle and with a heave throws himself backward while lifting the girl up and over his head, using the momentum of his fall to fling the girl over him and sending both of them to the ground.

Leaping to his feet, he turns around to face Youmu. "You're fast shorty." He says as he brings his fists up and bounces back and forth on the balls of his feet, "I've fought faster."

 

[NerfedFalcon]

"You're fast shorty." He says as he brings his fists up and bounces back and forth on the balls of his feet, "I've fought faster."

"That so?" Youmu asked, spinning her legs into the air and flipping over on one hand. "Blink if you dare." Focusing all her energy into her legs, she jumped off the ground and flew into the rafters, too fast for any human sense to follow. As she dropped, she did the same thing in reverse, throwing herself back to the ground at blazing speed, her sword lined up with the top of Knife's head.

 

[Knife-28]

"Blink if you dare."

One moment the girl was there, the next she seemed to shimmer and vanish upwards in less than a second. With no time to think Knife relied on instinct to throw himself forwards into a roll, with luck avoiding any aerial attack Youmu hoped to use.

 

[Hussmann54]

DA SNIPS

Finally one of the bandits, wearing a typical biker jacket (Hey I never said they were creative or original) and carrying a metal pipe with a jagged, broken off tip strutted into the room. "Well hello beautiful."

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE SPACE-RANCH .... also I am inserting a "Continue?" joke in here. If you haven't, go check them out on youtube.

Ana stood up from her cover, lunging at an opponent in the darkness. A gunshot range out. Followed by more, the man whose face she was about to bury her fist in collapsed. As the shots stopped for a moment, Ana gave a look of confusion, then felt her torso. No blood, no wound.
"hmmm..." She gave a shrug."Either out of bullets, or.." She gave a little wave out into the glare of the bright street day. Vision was obscured by the change in light from indoors to out. Stepping over a dead body, The woman walked near the frame of a window. Squinting her eyes to see, she shielded form the sun them with a hand.

From the darkness lunged a bandit. A straggler. He grabbed her and put the knife to her throat.
He spit as he yelled to the unseen marksman. "GIVE UP. I GOT YER *****!"
"Boy the mouth on you..." Ana muttered. She closed her eyes for a second. She gave a countdown with her fingers the bandit couldn't see, but the shooter could. At one, she made a blatant attempt to break free. The knife slide into her throat cutting into it. She gave a groan in pain and fell to the floor, but now the bandit was exposed and vulnerable.

rollin' rollin' rollin'

As the man walked in, he would be met with the revolver aimed toward his head. [color=666666] "Hello there, sir. I hope it's not too much trouble for you to let me go, is it?" [/color] Vanessa replied mirthlessly, her icy blue eyes glaring down the bandit in her sights. [color=666666] "I'd just like to leave the area with my companion... and my chastity intact." [/color]

He might notice that the woman was standing sideways, her other arm not visible to him. [color=666666] ("Just a little longer...") "There's no need for me to need to hurt you like I did those two." [/color] She tilted her head toward the two others, hoping to make her point known.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

With no time to think Knife relied on instinct to throw himself forwards into a roll, with luck avoiding any aerial attack Youmu hoped to use.

Knife had moved fast enough to avoid Youmu's blade, but she landed on top of him at full speed, knocking him to the ground. The impact had also knocked the sword out of her hand, though. She left her phantom half charging up a magical attack above his prone body as she jumped back off of him to reclaim her sword and wait for him to try and get up.

She left her phantom half charging up a magical attack above his prone body as she jumped back off of him to reclaim her sword and wait for him to try and get up.

Rolling over, Knife turned his head to see Youmu had forgotten him to grab her sword. With a wicked gleam in his eye, he clicked his fingers, causing a small flame to appear above his thumb. Pointing his right hand towards the girls weapon, he bought his thumb to his palm. A stream of liquid fire shot out and embraced the wooden sword. "Sorry, did you need that?" Knife says as he shuts off the flame and stands.

She gave a groan in pain and fell to the floor, but now the bandit was exposed and vulnerable.

The bandit barely had time to blink before another shot rang out and he fell, clutching the wound in his own neck. If she was still conscious, Ana would see a shadow move from the 2nd story window of the building across the street. A cloaked figure emerged form the building onto the street and cast a forlorn look at the department store before shaking their head and jogging towards the apartment building the other woman had entered.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

"Sorry, did you need that?"

Youmu was annoyed that Knife had destroyed her weapon, but she still had a backup plan. "No," she replied, getting into a pose that she'd seen Meiling use once, though she had no idea how to continue it. That wasn't her plan, though. Her plan involved releasing the magical charge she'd built up in her phantom half, directly inside Knife's body. As soon as she'd displaced the entire charge, she immediately threw herself into another dash, with the intention of kicking her opponent in the face at full speed. Her sword style had also involved kicks since she started teaching herself, and at high speed, even less controlled than normal, it would still hurt.

A blur, that's all Youmu was as she ran at Knife. Some people would say that in situations like this that time slows down, for Knife however the opposite was almost true. With no time to plan, the mall fighter threw his arms up, hoping to block another attack to the face.

 

[Hussmann54]

YOHOHOH

The Bandit wasn't in the mood for games. He immediately made to grab at her arm.

DURRRRRRR

Ana grabbed her throat, clutching it tightly, groaning in pain. She rolled over onto her back. He hands were soaked in blood. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. He throat had indeed been slit. And I don't just mean a little cut. It was deep. She was focusing on something very firmly. A a tear ran down her face as she tried to remain under control.

 

[DotSlash]

The Bandit wasn't in the mood for games. He immediately made to grab at her arm.

Reacting quickly, Vanessa jerked her arm back as the bandit grabbed at her. With her gun aimed up and being a little too close for comfort, the fedora girl hopped backward and took her hand out of her pocket, revealing what looked like a ball of light in her hands. She covered her eyes with her gun arm and smirked. [color=666666] "Alright then... Say cheese!" [/color]

The ball would burst into a large flash of light, potentially blinding the bandit if he didn't cover his eyes quickly enough. Afterward, she'd uncover her eyes and try to give the bandit the slip, dashing around him and out into the hallway.
