"Aww~ Look at the cute little noobie."

"Let's take her money."

"L-Leave me alone!"

"You're standing up to us?"

"Some nerve."

"Quit bickering. Rob the girl and let's bail."

"Hey! Get away from her!"

"Shoot, it's them! Scram! Go! Now!"

"Abandon ship!"

The idiot pirates scrambled away. The girl on the ground stared up in awe. I don't remember her name.

"You okay?"

"Uh, y-yeah. Thanks."

"Don't thank us yet." I heard footsteps and the clanging of swords. "They've got backup."

Ungrth smirked at me. Level 97.

"Ready for round two?"

I slipped my sword into my grasp. Level 98.

"Always."

"Let me help." She stood up, sword in hand. Her level was hidden. "I want revenge."

"Fine."

"It's game on."

"Ungrth-" He glances at me. "Snake."

He smirks: "You got it, boss."

"Dmitri. Nether."

"What?"

"Trust me."

"Fine."

"Nekoette, you take Arrow."

"A-Alright."

"You gonna be okay against Shadow?" Dmitri questions. Ungrth chuckles.

"I wouldn't pick a better man for the job."

"Alright!" Snake claps to get our attention. "We've given you enough time to strategize. Come at us already."

Short fuse. Impatient. Easily irritable.

I glance at Ungrth. He's gathered that data himself.

"Come now, Snake," Shadow says, calmly. "I want to at least give them a fighting chance."

Cocky. Self-centered. Center of the universe.

"Alright." I shrug. "You two ready?"

"Yeah." Dmitri nods. He looks somewhat experienced. Good.

"Uh, sure." Nekoette looks hesitant, but determined. From her stance, she hasn't been doing this very long. She's gonna end up needing backup.

"Let's go!" Ungrth jumps into action, catching the other side off guard. He's always been the rambunctious, impulsive one out of the two of us. That's why he's difficult to avoid in a fight: he's unpredictable.

Dmitri's quick to get over his shock and fires an already knocked arrow towards Nether. Arrow reacts fast and pushes her out of the way. He growls at Dmitri and sends an arrow back at him. Nekoette blocks it with a quick plasma shield.

"You're sure taking your time."

My blade catches Shadow's not even a second too late. His stealth must be high if I wasn't able to detect his approach.
