Chapter 22: Death Skirmish

The 4 stand face to face with the girl, assuming a defensive stance

Dired: "Arch, Kiki, stay behind me and Griz"

Arch and Kiki follow as they stay. Griz aims her weapon and Dired reaches for his knife

Griz: "Who are you?"

Sangria: "Oh that's right. Where are my manners? I'm Sangria, the second princess of the Li Dracotaurian Clan. Banished for my desire for power, i've spent the last 80 years of my life training to become stronger so i can seek revenge. Not only on my clan, but also my old master. I heard he's here in this country"

Dired: "Old master?"

Griz: "Do you think she means-?"

Sangria: "It seems you know him. I'm sure you don't run into a giant talking bear everyday"

Griz: "What do you mean?"

Sangria: "I'm saying, its not normal in this part of the globe. I'm quite interested. Not only you, but there's also a talking bird. How strange"

Archimedes assumes a defensive position infront of Kiki to protect her while Dired and Griz engage the threat

Sangria: "But it also seems you know my old master based off of your expression. Tell me...how is old man Wei"

Dired, Griz and Archimedes give a shocked but cold facial expression towards Sangria

Sangria: "You know, how about we make a deal. I'll let you guys go if you tell me where that dragon is"

Dired: "We're not telling you shit"

Sangria gives a disappointed angry look

Sangria: "Oh, then you'll make nice punching bags to prepare for my vengeance"

Dired: "Archimedes, get Kiki out of here. Somewhere out the mist and somewhere safe. Don't worry about us, we'll come to get you guys after we're done here"

Archimedes: "Are you sure? You may get hurt"

Dired: "Wouldn't be the first time buddy. Me and Griz will handle this"

Archimedes turns to Kiki

Archimedes: "Lets go"

Kiki: "Alright"

Archimedes and Kiki run back in the direction the car came from back towards the facility

Sangria: "You're quite noble. Sacrificing your lives for the sake of those close to you. I respect that. But your efforts are futile. Once I'm done here, I'll hunt those 2 down and get it out of them instead"

Dired gets surprised and jolts a bit when he hears this. He prepares his knife as he speaks to Griz while maintaining a visual on Sangria

Dired: "Try not to get hit, we don't know what she's capable of"

Griz: "Its 2 of us. We can use that to our advantage...although she does look like she's taken more on"

Sangria: "Now then, let's get this over with"

Sangria extends her arms out diagonally and her gloves become armored. Then claws extend from them as she begins to charge forward

Cut to DJ, Bronx and Kala

Bronx: "Alright she's steady, pop them bitches"

When Bronx says this, Kala begins to shoot out the window and DJ shoots from the sunroof, using the seat as cover. The SUV falls back as soon as they are fired upon and returns back behind the first one. An agent in the first SUV gets out and starts to shoot through the window of the vehicle. DJ immediately shoots him and he falls out the SUV. The second SUV returns back to being first. 3 agents start shooting at them from the windows. DJ and Kala duck in cover. DJ shoots from the window instead of the sunroof. He manages to take out one of the gunners. The other 2 gunners begin to open fire again and they take cover
