Cold Strike 2

Chapter 5 - 17: Payback

But this would prove to be challenging. The troops weren't ordinary soldiers, They were enforcers. Armored to the teeth. Not only their armor is thick, It's build-in with Ice Resistance that can withstand against cold temperature and any Ice Projectile. Winter will find that out when she goes on the offense.

Two Enforcers brought out their electric melee rod. They held a tight grip on the handle as the lightning sparks rapidly. One of them quick aimed and unleashed a triple lightning strike that targets Winter, But she manage to effortlessly dodge it. She retaliated with a simple Ice Blast attack that strikes one Enforcer in the best. Due to build-in Ice Resistance, This did nothing but push him up against the wall. He got up and brushed this off as if it was nothing.

Winter's facial expression was a bit surprised.

Winter: "Well that's unexpected..."

Commander Storm must've been preparing his soldiers in case they ever encounter her. Or any Cryterian for the most part. She's now left with no other choice but to do this the old fashion way. No Elements, Just her fists and feet as her weapons. The Enforcers were confident that the Ice Resistant Armor worked.

They were so confident that they both charged in with their melee weapons in their hands, Winter stood there and waited for them to get close and personal. As she waited, She remembers what she was taught to do during her childhood.

A bit of a flashback shows the lesson someone was teaching her, It was a man who was the closest to have as a family, and he told her:

"Sometimes you won't be able to use your Element against your opponent. Sometimes, you have to use your fist."

When the flashback ended, An Enforcer was already close enough and was going in for a swing. But when he swings his melee rod, She shifts her body to the right. The melee weapon doesn't get in contact with her. Then she sweeps her feet across his angle as she goes down on the floor, forcing the Enforcer to trip and fall face front to the ground. Another charged from behind, and Winter dashes under to get behind him quick. He turned around to try and swings his melee weapon against her, only for it to not hit her. Because she lean her body backwards, as the electric melee rod sweeps pass her.

Winter stood back up and the second Enforcer attempt to hit her with the rod again, Until Winter caught his arm with both hands. With her acrobatic moves, She managed to wrap her legs around his arm and flips his entire body over. As he flies up against a wall.

The First Enforcer that tripped and fell slowly moved his head up while remaining prone on the ground. His head quickly turn to where Winter is standing in crouch position. She was quick to notice him looking at her, Just as she was quick to notice what he was gonna do next. But rather than dashing to stop him, She waited till he does it.

What he does is grab the electric rod by his side, aims it at Winter, presses the button on the side, and unleashes another triple lightning strike toward The Princess. She dashes to the right, evading the lightning strike.

The Second Enforcer wasn't so lucky.

The First Enforcer hit the second enforcer by accident, He meant to stun Winter with the electrocution. Not his partner. To the first enforcer, This was a mistake that he apologizes to him her. But for Winter:

Winter: Uh-Oh! Someone got hit by Friendly Fire~"

Heading her talk like that did nothing but make the first enforcer angry. So angry that he would get up and dash toward the Princess with his Melee Rod. As he got close enough, He started swinging it toward the Princess. But due to her effortlessly dodging every swing, He couldn't hit her. Eventually she got bored and decided to end this.

Their armor is thick, But not fully protected. As she was evading his rod, She notices a weak spot on the left side of his torso. It had no armor plate into it. Thanks to weaken part of the suit, She knows how she's gonna finish him off.
