Time Force Delta Squad: Trapped (S2 Game)

Kari spun from the kick and simply kept her mouth shut. She was studying the female enemy as she attacked to find the exact moment's she wanted to strike. She twisted delivering two kicks to Fumiosa's midsection and smiled under her helmet. "You talk a lot." She said with a simple shrug. "Wanna give up now or are you hell bent on dying today?" She asked getting ready for whatever the woman had coming next.

Rolo closes his book he's reading and stares at Circuit with an unamused but skeptical expression. "Does this have to do with my uncle's trauma? Because he and I talked enough that I told him we talk more when I'm ready later."

"I suppose it slightly does," Circuit said. "And to do with the lingering effects of K'hysh's disappearance." He hopped over and brought up the footage from teh medical bay. "I know you're hesitant about K'hysh, and this is not my attempt to convince you, but she is still fighting, even breaking free of whatever Arianas and the Battalion have "conditioning" her to be evil."

Kari spun from the kick and simply kept her mouth shut. She was studying the female enemy as she attacked to find the exact moment's she wanted to strike. She twisted delivering two kicks to Fumiosa's midsection and smiled under her helmet. "You talk a lot." She said with a simple shrug. "Wanna give up now or are you hell bent on dying today?" She asked getting ready for whatever the woman had coming next.

Fumiosa snarled, doding a swung before slamming her knee into Kari's face. "How are you not suffering!?"

Kari stepped back shaking her head from the knee and started laughing. "What's wrong girl? Are you-" She asked and went to continue when she watched the blast hit Fumiosa. She leaned seeing her team landing and getting ready to joint the fray.

"Because I needed you to see who K'hysh really is," Circuit said. "Not the thing that she's being made to be. I know you've got your opinion on her, Rolo, and I wont' try and sway you from that. But I'm of the opinion that all angles are needed to form thoughts, and that's all I wanted to do. I'm sure I'll get yelled at by Cody later, and I'll accept that, but I just wanted you to know who she truly is."

Rolo clenches his jaw, trying not to yell at Circuit. How can he believe him when videos tell him otherwise? K'hysh cause damage to his Uncle, Alluka, and their friends again. What else is new? Unless.... If there's one thing he learns from his dad, it's actions speak louder than words. After doing his mental count, Rolo relaxes enough to unclench his jaw. "I'll believe it until I meet K'hysh. I want to hear it from her." He answers, opening his book again.

Cody runs close, slashing Fumiosa's legs with his Hydros Spear. "Despite everything, Kari is our friend, and we're here to assist her." He speaks with genuine understanding. "Right, Alluka?"

Alluka though, she channels her own anger by striking Fumiosa with multiple blows. Little does she know, she gets caught up with her anger that she is open for Fumiosa to damage her greatly.

With Fumiosa distracted by Alluka and her team, she had pulled her bow and sent several arrows into the back side of the female monster. Shifting her bow into it's scythe form, she rushed in right behind the arrows and jumped bringing her blade down incredibly hard on the woman's horns. "I was gonna say the same thing to you love!" She said landing with a spin and connected a powerful kick into the midsection of Fumiosa.

Fumiosa snarled as Cody hit her legs, and she slashed out, hitting the Blue Ranger in the chest. She staggered backa fter Alluka's assault, grinning before she retaliated, driving several hard punches and kicks into the Black Ranger, slashing her acros the chest and neck with her claws. "Dont' leave yourself open, skank!"

After Cody skids to a stop from the attack, his eyes went up in horror as Fumiosa made his move on his girlfriend, critically injures her. "Alluka..."

Cody can't hear his voice creaking. All he sees is Alluka laying on the ground, the wounds from her neck and chest gaped with blood. No matter how many times he replays the scene in his mind, feels the spray of blood, of Alluka’s blood on his face, his visor– it doesn’t make any sense. The Blue Ranger can't recall the exact moment, just that suddenly he drops his Hydros Spear and been scrambling to pull Alluka up against his chest. "Alluka?" He whispers numbly.

Alluka coughs softly, gazing up at her love. "Cody, a-are you hurt?"

Cody briefly gazes down at himself before he shakes his head, focusing back to Alluka. "I-I'm fine. I am fine."

Circuit nodded softly, shutting the footage off. "Very well," he said. "I'm sorry, Rolo. I should have thought about this a bit more."

Rolo frowns a bit. "I know you're trying to convince me that K'hysh is fighting back against the Queen's control but it doesn't excuse her actions before. She breaks Kari's heart. She hurt Soujiro and the Agronite place. She ruined Tanjiro. She abandoned my Uncle and Alluka. She sent Galilee to break my trust with my Uncle." He reminds the robotic bird, trying to control his anger again. "Even though I... appreciate her for saving me, I don't trust her. Like I said a minute ago, when I see her, I need her to prove me otherwise."

Before Rolo gets up and leave, he catches a glimpse of the screen, consisting of the blood spurting on the pavement where the battle takes place. "Wait a second. Something's going on over there." He says to Circuit.
