Plot: With her vacation taking a turn for the worse, Desti is wounded with nowhere to go, left with no choice but to follow a stranger to safety. Maybe she should've gone to Mexico instead...
Desti had but one question: What had she gotten herself into?
Running down a dark alley, following a silver haired child into the unknown parts of the city. Her blade was clenched tight in one hand as her opposite shoulder bled profusely, leaving a trail of blood behind them.
???: Hurry, they'll catch up if we don't go faster!
Desti: I've noticed! Besides, you could've warned me about those things earlier!
???: I tried!
Desti saw the cyborgs running behind them, turning corners too soon and smashing into walls in an attempt to keep chase.
Desti: Pulling on my ankle was not a straight warning!!
???: I'm bad at conversations, cut me some slack!
Desti quickly jumped and cut a lead pipe down and blocked the path. The initial fall took out one of the Cyborgs by bashing him over the head, but it delayed the others by less than a second.
Desti: What are these things!?
???: Not sure about an exact name! I call them reapers for ease of mind!
Desti: NOT HELPING!
Turning the corner, The girl looked around for a way out as she spotted something, seeing a full garbage can next to a narrow alley.
???: I've got a plan! Do you trust me?
Desti: Of course not, I literally just met you today!!
???: Good enough!
The girl saw a nearby hanging pipe, jumping and swinging off it as she launched herself, kicking the large can out of the way and clearing the way to the alley.
???: Quick, in here!
Desti: Are you insane!? This is the only way out, they'll know where we went!
???: Not if they can't find us in the mess!
The girl drew another one of those ball like canisters and threw it into the trash can, pulling Desti by her good arm into the alley. Right as the "Reapers" came from around the corner-
(BOOM!)
Paint, Litter and rotten food erupted from the can and caused an avalanche, the paint mixing in with the old food to make a disgusting sludge storm.
The blast blinded the Reapers as they waded their way through the mess, trying to find their prey, but the mess disguised the alley perfectly.
Behind a wall, Desti Held her breath while also pinching her nose, with the girl seemingly unfazed, giving her a shushing motion.
The reapers continued their look, occasionally slipping on the sludge, but they eventually gave up, turning and walking away. Immediately afterwards, Desti and the girl both let out relived sighs.
???: So...Sorry about that. Guess it is kinda my fault for not telling you earlier...
Desti slumped, sitting down and leaning against the wall as she dropped her sword.
Desti: It's okay, I didn't used to work well with strangers either. Let's try that again, maybe starting with your name for a change?
???: O-Oh! Right! S-sorry...
The girl extended a hand to help Desti back up.
Laura: I'm Laura. Nice to meet you...
Desti: Desti. And uh...same. Ah!
