Chained -On Hold-

Chapter 11: Red riding hood

---------------------------------------------
(Jake's perspective)
---------------------------------------------

The woman in the red cloak ran towards us with incredible speed before throwing two punches simultaneously. I blocked the one she threw at me and noticed Blood had caught the other one. We then looked at each other and nodded before I grabbed her fist as well and we swung her arms up and attempted to slam her down onto the ground, but she pulled her arms out of our grip, made a frontflip and landed on her feet.

She then followed this up by placing her hands on the ground and kicking at the two of us. We managed to jump out of the way, but she used her hands to launch herself, spun her body sideways and kicked us both out of the sky like flies.

We crashed into the rooftops as roof tiles flew all over the place around us. I quickly got up, pulled out my spear threw it right in front her. She looked confused as to why I missed her, however while she was looking away, I pulled out my short swords and threw those at her as well.

She dodged them by sidestepping and then asked me: "Why would you throw your weapons away like that? Are you truly in that much of a rush to die?"

Blood smiled as he heard her say 'your weapons'. I smiled as well and said to her, as I ripped of the sleeves of my shirt: "You think those were my weapons", the sunlight reflected off the spikes on the sides of my arms, making them look even sharper. "These are my weapons!", I yelled as I sprinted towards her at full speed.

Meanwhile, Blood had pulled out his massive sword and had jumped up against the side of a tower, bouncing off of it and spinning his body around in the process. All of this combined gave him a lot of momentum and force as he spun towards the cloaked woman.

Just as we were about to hit her, she pulled her cloak up and revealed what was underneath: the body of a model with nothing but a bikini to cover it. This was so sudden that it momentarily stunned the both of us, giving her enough time to jump up, kick me in the face, bounce off of me and proceed to kick Blood into the streets below.

As Blood got up, I noticed one of our soldiers running down the street towards him. It was a blue alien with two arms and eight tentacles on his back. He stopped next to Blood and stated: "Private Khenran, reporting from the battlefield. Sir, we ran into a a major ob-".

"Watch out", Blood interrupted him as he blocked one of the woman's kicks with his sword, before pushing her away, leaving himself wide open.

"You left yourself wide open, Blood", she said with confidence. "Now prepare to die!"

"I don't think so", I told her as I lept at her and sent her flying as I slashed at her with the spikes on my arms. "Who are you anyway?"

"I'm glad you finally asked", she responded with a smile. I'll never understand women. "I won't give you my real name, of course. But, you can call me Red riding hood". She winked at me. As if that'd work.

In the meantime Khenran continued to tell Blood what had happened: His entire unit had been wiped out by an alien of the same species that called itself 'Cutter X'. Apparently it wielded knives and had a lot of them strapped to his tentacles. Even though Khenran was ordered to hold the line, he decided that it'd be better to warn Blood instead of dying in vain.

After hearing this, Blood nodded and looked at me with concern. I smiled and told him: "Don't worry. I got this"

Blood looked at me one more time, but then followed Khenran and disappeared from my vision. I then turned my attention to Red riding hood, but she was chuckling.

"The two of you together wouldn't be able to defeat, how do you expect to defeat me on your own", she chuckled.

"So far you've failed to back up your words", I responded. "So why should I listen to you?"

I saw a smirk on her face right before she sprinted towards me and punched me in the face. I attempted to keep my balance, but failed and landed on the ground. I quickly got back up again, only to be greeted by a knee to my face, followed up by a kick to my stomach that sent me flying into a wall.

My facial expression changed as I went through all that pain as she stood in front of me with a smile on her face: "Do you understand now", she cracked her knuckles. "Too bad it's too late. I'm going to make you suffer..."
