11.5 Idol

*SLASH! SLASH! STAB!*

Going over a small outcrop of discarded slag, I managed to lay my eyes on my missing sister. She seemed to be occupied with fending off a few more Dezimals, though it was clear that she didn't need any help. Not at all, seeing as she was surrounded by the corpses of her fallen enemies.

*SLASH! SLASH!*

"C'mon! Show me what your stupid Empire could do!"

I frowned as I heard Lise shout mockingly, watching as her sword sliced through the two tin cans that dared to attack her. What few stragglers left were clearly ready to run, their movements jittery and anxious as their bodies all but turned around to get the hell out of this tiny murder-blender's kill range.

"That's it?!" Lise taunted, though I could tell that she was panting despite herself. "Child's play!"

I hid my disposition as I vaulted over the outcrop, fully intent on joining Lise on her one-woman crusade. Though not without scolding her for her current behavior first.
