S17 - Eyes

Scorpion wrapped his chains around Able's neck. He trusted the cat and waited for him to teleport them to an advantageous position.

Suddenly, they stood in front of the masked man.

"Move your head, ninja guy," he said. Scorpion moved his head to the side. The masked man fired two shots from the blue weapon into Able's face— one for each eye.

"Grah!" The rifle in Able's hand burned, and with incredible speed he darted forward— only to arrive in the same place, still in Scorpion's grasp.

"Good cat," said the masked man. A katana unfolded from one of his cards and he slashed Able along his chest.

They made good progress. For a split-second mistake— turning his attention to Xiaohei— Able had paid a hefty toll. And with the loss of his sight, they had the advantage.

Scorpion stopped. Able was incredibly still. Calm. Almost inaudibly, he heard Able whisper: "What separates man from beast? A beast cannot cultivate. Man cultivates, man tills, man harvests…"

Dead branches returned to life and crept towards them. Flowers bloomed, and from those flowers, purple SMGs.
