Yellowhead
“Go!”
Yellowhead gives his order and the lackeys start moving. They all run towards Rose and Al with weapons on their hand.
The thin guy or I'll call him ‘Stickman’ has a switch knife. The fatty has a 14-inch-or-something steel pipe.
Where the hell did he even hide that?
Meanwhile, the tall guy has a military dagger with him.
Judging by their posture and flow of movement, they don't have any knife techniques. They'll just attack randomly.
On the other hand, Al and Rose are completely unarmed, though afraid, they're posing themselves with composure.
I'm sure both know martial arts that utilize their physical capabilities. But I'm also sure those weren't enough to be completely unscathed.
I ask Eli-chan who is gently pushing the swing, “Eli-chan how many knives do you have with you?”
“I have one of my daggers and five throwing knives,” she says, still pushing the swing.
“Please lend me one knife then go and hide near them. Thanks,” I ask.
She unbuttons her blouse revealing a customized bellyband holding her dagger and knives.
“Here, Mark,” she gives me a sharp and small silver knife. I play with it with my fingers while watching the battle unfold.
Fatty swings diagonally at Al's face but Al droops his head then he steps to the side. However a downward slash comes from the tall guy.
Al rolls to his side but he still got slashed on his arm.
““Al!!”” Lyn and Mae-chan shout in sync. It's just a scratch. Nothing serious.
The tall guy smiles smugly as he watch Al stand up.
Meanwhile, Stickman stabs Rose. But Rose hits his forearm with her elbow stopping the knife from getting closer to her. She jabs at his left collar bone pushing him a few steps backward. Stickman groans in pain.
He didn't back down though. He rushes forward slashing at Rose again and again. She lowers her head and body, sweeping his legs off. Stickman falls onto his butt.
“What the fuck?! They're unarmed!” Yellowhead impatiently screams. He sounds disappointed. “Kill them!”
“But boss, they're pro!” Fatty and the rest goes back to their boss.
“So what?! You have weapons! Stop making excuses!” Yellowhead reprimands them.
The three look at each other then they prepare themselves to attack again.
Rose picks up a fist-size stone and Al takes his bag to use as his weapon.
Al whispered something to Rose. She nods in response.
Silence dominates for a few minutes with neither side moving.
“Aaaaaah!” Suddenly, fatty sprints towards them and the other two follow him.
Fatty swings his pipe. Al and Rose jump to the opposite sides respectively.
Tall guy slashes at Al and Stickman stabs at Rose.
Al swings his bag to deflect the attack. Rose twists her body and smacks Stickman's elbow with her stone.
*Crack!*
Then she whips a kick onto his temple. Stickman flies sideward landing on the ground motionlessly.
Rose exhales before checking her body. Then she sits weakly on the ground while breathing heavily.
