Maia's POV
As we finally get to a place with decent cover, I dig into one of the pockets on my belt and get my hand-held distress beacon.
"Will that work?" Arsenal asks.
"No idea." I say, pressing the switch anyways. "But it sure as hell doesn't hurt. How are you holding up?"
"I'm almost out of amo." The ginger beside me growls, glaring at his robotic arm.
"That thing needs amo?" I asked, a little surprised.
"How do you think it works?!" He exclaims.
"I don't know! Do I look like a robotics expert to you?" I reply. "I just figured it, I don't know, had unlimited energy or...something."
"Where did you get an idea like that?" He growled.
"Well sorry if I don't put much thought into how your arm works!" I refute.
We stop fighting when I sense two more soldiers come charging close to us and I attack, blasting off and taking them down with a couple slashes of my daggers.
"How did you..?"
"My powers, it's like echolocation...but more air-related." I explain as Arsenal jumps over our former barrier and joins me in fighting.
"Well that explains how you can fight with a blindfold on." He says. "Dumb costume choice by the way."
"Blindfold's for decoration, I'm actually blind." I say nonchalantly. "And someone with a buzz-cut, and used to wear that stupid hat has no room to judge."
"The hat wasn't my idea!" He exclaims, delivering an especially hard punch to a soldier.
I simply smirk and hum as I take out the last couple soldiers.
After the soldiers are all down, we both catch our breath before Arsenal starts dashing in another direction. My legs, tired from all the running, cause me to groan and just turn in an attempt to put off the running.
"Where are we going now?" I groan, but thankfully Arsenal stops at a large box and pulls out a wire from his arm.
"Raw energy, Blindfold, this oughta give me some power." He says, and I can hear him smirking.
"Oh thank God, I thought we had to start running again." I praised as I went to the box and leaned on it. "And Blindfold, really?"
"You're the one that decided to have it as a uniform choice." He asked, still paying attention to his arm. " But can't you just, like, fly or something?"
"I don't fly, it makes it harder to see...like it makes everything fuzzy." I explain. "And even if I did, there's a limited amount of air on this planet and I can't waste all of it in propelling myself forward. Or did you forget about your little stunt in the air lock?" I growled that last part out.
"Blue went rogue, I had to do something! I am not going back on ice, ever again!" He says strictly and I raise an eyebrow.
"PTSD and paranoia much?" I mutter. "We could have helped Jaime if you hadn't KO'd our whole team."
"He has interglactic armor and super weapon's! Are you sure we would have been able to defeat him?"
"We wouldn't have defeated him! We would help him! He's still our teammate."
Arsenal barks in laughter, to which I sneer at.
"Ya, some teammate. The guys attacked us the moment he could get away with the Crystal Key!"
