He dived to grab the woman and succeeded. They both fell to the floor with him struggling to hold on to her.

(“Sorry missus, but there's no woman alive that can match this body.”) He cockily thought while subduing her.

What he didn't know was the fact she allowed this to happen. After all, what was more convenient than an enemy choosing to move away from their allies themselves?

She wasn't quite tall enough to reach face and began headbutting his chest. He found it laughable when she reeled her head back but the first hit to his chest had him thinking otherwise.

It felt like he had been smashed with Ruby's hammer. (Don't ask how he knew what this felt like.)

Before another head butt could grace his body, Ruby smashed her back with the hammer. She broke free of Nigel quite easily and kicked Ruby's leg, causing the woman to fall to one knee.

She shouted out in pain as she got back to her feet. It seems that blow to her back did a number on her.

The two that had looking for an opportunity jumped in when both Nigel and Ruby remained grounded.

They both pulled out their swords and slashed at her. She cut through their swords with her claws and before she could slice their necks, another blow rocked back, sending her to the floor. She tried looking behind her but no one was there. The two took advantage of this and began stabbing her other with the remains of their swords. No stab made it more than a few centimetres in her skin but they showed no restraint and peppered her with wounds.

She grabbed both their legs and slammed them into a wall in her grounded position. Before she could finish them off, Ruby appeared before her once more with the hammer held above her head.

The woman had had enough of this bullshit.

She swiftly moved her hands to the leg of Ruby and caused her to fall to the ground.

Ruby wasn't sure what she did but the immediate pain that followed served as a good indicator. With one swipe, the demon woman sliced deep enough into her leg to show bone. Nigel ran over to try and kick her away but he was far too slow to surprise her.

She jumped into him and shoved her hand into his torso, like a fork in jelly. What stopped her from going any deeper was a hammer strike that rocked her side, sending her sideways and removing her hand from the newly created wound.

She managed to stop herself, but another phantom hammer strike sent her even further away. After looking around, she decided this was enough. These fools combined with the last ones had more than ruined her appetite to kill.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“Get back here!” Ruby shouted, struggling to stay on her feet.

The woman paid her no mind and ran off.

Ruby fell to one knee, once more and looked around her. The fight barely lasted over a minute yet they had been left in rough shape.

She could barely stand and her leg was gushing blood like it was going out of style. She took another step and had to lean her back against a nearby wall or risk falling.

Nigel was doing his best to cover the new wound on his stomach. He had four finger-sized holes opened up.

And thanks to the fact he was shirtless, a visible bruise was seen forming on the part of his chest the woman headbutted.

He made his way over.

“What do we do?” He asked.

“What else? With that bitch around-”

“Come on Ruby, get real, there's no way we can-”

She slapped him across. “You shut the hell you, worthless son of a bitch!” she snarled at him. She turned to the wall and started crying.

“Tina was my responsibility, the person my sister would want me to protect the most and I abandoned her.” She said as she struggled to get the words out. She slammed her fist against the wall. “And what did I do? I left her by herself and now, now…” She paused and looked up. “I'm sorry, Tacey. I'm sorry, please, please sister I didn't mean for this to happen.” She struggled to say as she caught her breath.

The other two were still out cold. Not sure what to do, Nigel walked over towards them and tried resuscitating them.

----------------------------------------

Several minutes earlier.

After Tina swung down, the pale woman grabbed it bare-handed. With one hand. Considering Tina had both hands on the spear, this left her confused, to say the least.

The still-sitting woman swung the spear into a nearby wall, planting Tina into it. She got back to her feet and planned to swing the pink-haired Amazon once more but she ran some electricity through her spear and the demon woman was briefly stunned but managed to let go before Tina could deal a counterattack. She backed away with a wretched expression across her face.

“She's stronger than Tina…” Elizabeth commented, sounding annoyed. “(Is she really like that fat bastard?)” She thought as she watched on.

It was too soon to say if Tina needed any help and Tina stood between them and the woman, so any throwing weapons would risk hitting her if they tried anything.

“Why's she wearing that shit anyway? Don't they have better clothes?” Nora asked, watching intently.

“I don't think she's the type that cares about that sort of stuff. But if you are so curious why don't you ask her?” Lily responded.

It seemed Tina overheard what they were saying.

“Hey ya dumb bitch, why do you dress like a whore?”

The woman showed no reaction to her words other than a mild slanting of the eyes.

Tina swung her spear down and the woman stomped on it, sending Tina to the floor. She tried to shock her once again but the woman removed her foot too quickly to be affected.

She brought her hand up and moved closer to end the annoyance in front of her-
