Harper ducked immediately at the sound of guns firing all around her. She crawled behind a short wall, looking around as she tried to see through the bullets flying.

"EAT THIS, YOU PIECE OF TRASH!" A voice screamed out, making Harper flinch at it's familiarity, and a second flinch when she heard something hit the ground. She turned around again when suddenly she saw a volcano of neon pink slime expand out of the grenade, soaking a large group of henchmen in it's liquidy-substance, sticking them together in a large, goopy, and non-threatening ball. Harper cocked a suspicious eyebrow, confused as to what was going on- when suddenly, her confusion turned to happiness as she realized where it came from. She created that grenade.

"I'M REALLY SORRY FOR THIS BUT YOU KIND OF HURT MY FRIEND!" The voice called out again.

"STOP APOLOGIZING TO THEM!" Another familiar voice screamed.

Harper stood up and crouched, sprinting behind walls and boxes, trying to not be seen by anyone with a weapon. She then jumped over a box and into the middle of the warfare, when she saw the chaos in front of her. Men were being sprayed with water guns, and then being electrocuted with a familiar magnetic bullet, making them drop their guns.

She saw one person, holding up a large water gun, spraying at people. Harper smiled widely, running towards her. 

"LAUREN!" She screamed, as Lauren snapped her head towards the voice, seeing her long-lost friend running at her at full speed.

"HARPER!" She screamed back, dropping the gun as she dove over a stack of boxes and dodged flying streams of bullets, landing behind a shelf with Harper. They met in a large hug, holding each other for a moment tightly, tears streaming down Laurens face as Harper held onto her twin flame.

"You came back for me." Harper whispered, muffled by the hug as Lauren let go, holding Harper's hands.

"You're my best friend- I had to." She answered.

"But I-"

"It doesn't matter, Harper." Lauren interrupted, squeezing her hands. "I saw your project, I know what you were trying to do. You sacrificed... so much for me over the years. I could never do what you did. I could never... abandon you." She finished, before reaching into her belt, handing Harper a gun and an earpiece. "Come on, we got ass to kick." She finished as Harper nodded, putting in the earpiece and cocking the gun.

"Is this... a softball launcher?"

"Not all of your weapons were ready to be on the field. Luckily for you, I am a very creative person." Lauren smirked, grabbing her magnetic gun and cocking it. "Come on, lead the way, agent." Lauren said as Harper smirked.

The two dove over the shelter they had, firing their weapons at the men standing in front of them. While Harper was hitting men down with softballs, Lauren's weapons were creating more messes then actual damage. More men were coming out of random places, where it was beginning to seem like three against three-hundred out on the battle field.

"It's not working!" Gram spat into an earpiece, shooting rapidly with a plastic-bullet RPG. "We need to hit harder."

"Mr. Gram wants to go lethal." Lauren mumbled, grabbing another slime grenade, and throwing it at the men. Purple slime exploded and expanded around them.

"Well, what do you think, Laur?" Harper asked, not looking away from her targets as she fired.

"What do you mean?"

"You seem to know what you're doing." Harper replied, giving her a quick glance before continuing to fire softballs and baseballs into the guts of unsuspecting henchmen.
