Orazio (Vol. 1) Orazio and the Isis hormone.

I am your goddess

Esther and Lucia are aboard a self-piloted helicopter.

"We are approaching the target" says the voice on the on-board computer.

"I'll take care of the girl" says Esther. "You take care of him. Can you do it this time?"
she adds.
"Sure," says Lucia.

"Remember we want him alive. And with all his appeal intact." says Esther looking at the little woman.

Orazio and Orazia are on a deserted road. There's no one in sight. Just the two of them and the helicopter landing some distance in front of them.

The two youths see two women descending from the helicopter.

"Esther and the psycho bitch" whispers Orazio when the two women are closer.

The two women approach the couple. They are both clearly mean and scary looking. Esther has abandoned her bland manner of dress for this occasion and replaced it with combat clothing.

Orazia sighs. She failed to defeat Esther last time and now she is injured and tired from the trek in the desert sun.

"This looks bad, Orazio" says the discouraged young woman. "I suggest we try to talk our way out of this."

"Are you crazy, Orazia? Just walk over to them and tell them you're my girlfriend?" says Orazio.

"That would be my first option, but if that fails, I guess you can die with me, my love" says Orazia.

"It's okay." says Orazio. "I'm sick of being pushed around - let's get 'em!"

Orazia takes a look around and discovers a huge boulder a few meters away. With a formidable leap, she leaps to the side of the boulder. "Come on girl" she says to herself "let's see how far your strength goes."

The two women continue to walk in their direction, looking alert but confident.

Orazia grabs the huge boulder and with less effort than she expected, lifts it over her head. Then she throws the boulder with all her might at the two women.

Lucia sees the boulder flying at full speed in her direction. Despite her initial surprise, she moves quickly to avoid the huge boulder while drawing her pistol and firing several shots at Orazia.

One of the shots hits Orazia in the side. The pain is intense, but she somehow manages to stay on her feet.

The stone explodes upon impact, sending a cloud of dust and fragments in every direction.

When the dust settles, Orazia contemplates with despair that Esther has also emerged unscathed.

"Go get the kid!" shouts Esther to Lucia as she breaks into a run in Orazia's direction.

"Shit!" thinks Orazia.
Orazia could easily run to safety, but then they will catch Orazio.

"Orazio, run. Get out of here. Let me handle it!" she shouts in desperation.

Orazio runs away, but stumbles and falls to the ground. He gets back to his feet, but Lucia has gained some ground.

Although Lucia has shorter legs, she seems to have much more endurance than Orazio, who is starting to get tired.

Meanwhile Orazia prepares to receive the attack of Esther who has brought out her steel claws.

Esther strikes Orazia several times. The steel claws are very hard and cut through the skin, muscle and bone with ease. Blood gushes from Orazia's body.

"I'm sorry... Orazio" she says before collapsing.

Training with Mrs. Carrillo has given Orazio plenty of stamina, but he is by no means a long-distance athlete. Lucia's endurance, on the other hand, seems superhuman.
