[Calcutta, former Indian country]
[Calcutta Seaport]

[Union's Warrior a.k.a. Karen Marais and Blade of the People a.k.a. Feng Lee standby at the edge of the city by the seaport]


(Karen): Why did the Chinese send you anyways?

(Feng): Well, they thought that you might need help, since two P.E.M.F.s were detected approaching the Indian shore here.

(Karen): Very well then. Fleet, do you have visuals on the bogeys?

(Naval Fleet Command): [COMMS] Confirmed, Warrior. Two P.E.M.F.s coming in from the East a few clicks away and closing fast.

(Feng): Standby fleet. Keep us posted on anything else at sea.

(Naval Fleet Command): [COMMS] Roger that, Blade, Fleet out.

(Karen): Alright, you ready, Ms. Lee?

(Feng): Just stay out of my way, Marais.

(Feng Lee): You take the fat one! I'm going to have a bit of a dance-off with this bone dog!

(Feng Lee): SHUT UP!


The two pairs clash with each other; Blade of the People easily pushes back the Hellhound. To their right, Union's Warrior has her spinning shield up as the Cephalo-Tank maintains its distance; it pacesaround to try and find an opening. The Union's Warrior moves her shield off to her left slightly, and the Tank charges in.

However, she quickly brings it back towards her attacker, slamming its tentacled face and sending it reeling to the right. Whilst this game of P.E.M.F. bull-fighting continues, the Blade of the People continues slashing at the Hellhound; it dodges with surprising grace, frustrating the metal dancer more and more as her attacks are evaded.

She then does a spin, sending her elbow into the creature's face and causing it to go flying to the left. As it gets back up, the Blade of the People approaches, preparing her flak cannons in her blade-arms, when the Hellhound suddenly comes to face her and sprays a corrosive substance at her from its mouth.

She quickly slides to the side to evade the acid spit, allowing the corrosive glob to hit the Cephalo-Tank on its side and cause it intense pain. With the Tank stunned, Union's Warrior grabs the creature's face with both hands and begins kneeing it underneath its head, activating her knee-cannons as she does; she maintains a grip whilst sending artillery into the bottom of the beast's tentacled face.

Whilst those two are in their grapple, the Blade of the People activates grappling cables from her chest, sending the four lines around each limb of the Hellhound to bring it in. The creature struggles against the torque, but it's still pulled in. It opens its maw once more, ready to try and spit corrosive acid at the Blade of the Peopleagain; she anticipates this and quickly fires off her blade-arm cannons at its face, causing it to rear its head back.

Once it's pulled in sufficiently close, she gives it a swift kick from her theropod-like legs, sending it flying backwards next to the other combatants. The Cephalo-Tank is still being hit with several knee strikes, but the Union's Warrior begins to slow up; at this indication, the beast quickly breaks free of the grasp and sends his club at her. She quickly brings up her shield to protect herself from the blow, but it still pushes her backwards a bit.

The two creatures gather themselves once more, facing their two opponents. Water begins to flow in at higher tides than normal, and a low roar is heard off in the distance that gets the attention of all the combatants.
