Heavy breathing came from Fume's body as she paced towards the pillar with Hunter bodies around her. "That Vesper chick is a fucking life saver. I owe her big."

Despite various Hunters having been taken down, more Hunters and Obeah Men still stood in her way.

"For fucks sake." She aimed her rifle with one hand firing and taking down two with instant headshots. "Everyone else gets cool specialist benefits like a lava body, or being able to breathe underwater but no I just get hella fucking sweaty."

She threw her rifle at two Obeah Men in front of her as she slid between them taking an energy knife from one's side. She quickly turned round and jabbed into one's neck and quickly pulled it out and stabbed it into another's head.

Fume turned to see 5 Hunters at the ready with energy blades. She gestured for them to come at her as she raised her arms. "Let's get this over with."

The 5 all rushed her swiping for her but none of their storms connected as she quickly moved through and disposed of each one. Flipping over them and slicing their throats or carving their stomachs. She quickly took one of their handguns and used it to kill the last guy who was one the ground holding his stomach as he bled out. He put his hand out as if he was about to beg for forgiveness but without hesitation Fume shot him in the head.

"Damn Monkey." Fume pointed the pistol to the Pillar which was now right beside her and fired at it multiple times until it was destroyed. She let out a sigh of relief as she wiped the sweat of her forehead but noticed her abilities had not yet returned. "Just waiting on you Ulima."

                             ~~~~~
Ulima was having the same kind of trouble Fume had but instead of a 5 she was met with about Twenty different enemies. A mix of both Obeah Men and Hunters.

Somehow she was keeping up with them as she was firing from all angles as they came at her.

"Don't know what happened to Vesper but could really use more cover." Ulima continued shooting at the bent fending them off as they all rushed at her, not giving her a chance to even aim a shot at the pillar that blocked her powers.

"WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!"

Both Ulima and her enemies turned their heads to the oncoming sound that got louder and louder on approach to see a silver streak come crashing down in front of them. The dust cleared to see Atlas standing in the centre of it and 4 Hunter and Obeah Men bodies beneath her. One Obeah Man attempted to push himself up but Atlas was quick to notice and stomped on the man's head, shattering it in an instant.

"Motherfucker got Blood all over my boots!" Atlas complained until she looked behind her and noticed Ulima and waved. "Oh hey."

"Hello do you mind giving me a hand?" Ulima asked politely as she gestured to the enemies that stood around them that aimed with shaken hands.

"I got you." Atlas said happily as she whipped her nunchucks around her and instantly swiped off the heads of all the enemies in front of them. Their headless bodies dropping to the ground simultaneously. 

Ulima watched in awe of how quickly she disposed of them. "Umm Thanks."

Atlas gave her a drunken thumbs up paired with a large grin. "No problem lady, can't have you dying I'll miss your cooking."

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Atlas' head turned as she heard the sound of the roaring dragon unleashing it's flames. "IS THAT A FUCKING DRAGON!" She locked her knees preparing to launch herself into battle. "Good luck lady and don't die!" With a mighty burst of strength she launched herself across the battlefield crashing directly into the dragon. The sound of her excited cheers could still be heard loud and clear from Ulima's position.
