-Echo-
Echo fought for hours on end never taking a break it was killing her but she couldn't stop, not yet. Finally after she threw the last man into the cage walls the fight was finally over. Her boss nods his head indicating for her to follow, she did easily trying to forget how sore she was. They got to a room that held the one of leaders they were betting against.
"What do you mean you lost to... That..." He spits out the words looking at echo like she was a bug. She still stood tall making direct eye contact with him. It was making him nervous and she knew it, she was known for being a monster the rest of the people in this room knew that he boss couldn't contain her and if she wanted any of them dead no one could stop her. A slow smirk rises on her face as the man quickly turns to the fighter she recently beat to a bloody pulp. They were there to negotiate a deal but so far all he's been doing is whining like a baby. It was annoying but his shock was understandable.
Even though they've all heard of echo they have never seen what she looked like, they all had different expectations and what she looked like at the moment wasn't one.
"Are we going to get this done or are you going to keep bitching?" Her boss snaps taking a slow drag of his cigar to calm him down. That surprised echo he was normally very calm in these situations, he must have hit a nerve. It was amusing.
" I'm a man of my word, you can have this... Thing..." Large men in suits come from behind him throwing a small woman at his feet. Echo realized instantly it was a gift female, her temper flared as she bent down helping the woman up.
She whimpers shaking fiercely trying to get out words of apology but she was so beaten and bruised it was hard.
"If I remember correctly you promised to give us all of your new species" her boss pushes him looking over with a disgusted look.
"She's the only one I have" he smiles shrugging.
Echo glances at the gift who was still cowering in fear, she couldn't blame her at all these men would have killed her if it weren't for her worth as a new species.
"Your lying" Echo states watching the man a foul look. He was far too happy to be losing something so valuable.
"I'm not you can ask that bitch if you don't believe me" he chuckles aiming a kick to the gifts gut, Echo easily positioned herself in front of her catching the kick and squeezing his leg dangerously.
"I suggest you don't touch my prize" she hisses slightly, her position and stance reminded him of a cobra ready to attack. Her body was stiff muscles flexing, her eyes cold and ready to kill. He knew he wouldn't last a second.
He frowned lifting his hand slowly and snapping his fingers, the men in suits quickly shuffled out of the room.
Echoes body relaxes as she bends down and picks the gift up easily despite the struggles which were weak, she was extremely light due to what what Echo assumed was lack of nutrition. Trying to calm her she whispers softly to her "you are free calm down, you wont be going back to anyone like that again". The gift froze turning to look at her with wide eyes before hot tears rolled down her face.
For the first time since she left Suzuko, Echo smiled. She was finally doing something good.
