Tear A Path 195 Two On One

"I don't have to explain myself to you." Jeff retorted.

"Fine, that makes me feel better about doing this." Thirteen smiled.

She lobbed him with her tail, landing him in a corner. He of course landed perfectly without so much as thump from colliding with the floor. "That's the best you've got kid?"

"Nope, she is." Jeff looked to his right to see Gren207 charging towards him, he'd noticed her too lat as he barely got his body to dodge just enough so he didn't take the full brunt of the force, but it still sent him hurtling and ricocheting off the walls like a pinball.

"D*&n you kids don't go easy on your elders these days." For a moment his invisibility flickered, showing a really roughed up Jeff, but it was still too fast for the rest to notice.

"Gren, get your creator back into the room and lock it behind you." Thirteen ordered.

"What about your friend there on the floor?" She pointed towards Zhao Wei who was already stirring from the previous beating he took.

"Leave him," She replied, "If there's one thing he's not good at, it's dying, go!"

Gren207 picked up Grendolyn and started running. But Jeff couldn't let that happen, by this time he'd already caught up to her and stab her in the back, if she couldn't regenerate, chances are that she'd be dead right now.

Thirteen had predicted this would happen, so she lashed out with her tail, catching Jeff's abdomen mid air, Knocking him off the poor girls back. Just as he wanted to rush up to her again, Thirteen was covering the hall between him and her, if only she'd move a little faster.

Thirteen couldn't see him, so contrary to Zhao Wei's performance which aimed to counter after getting hit, she swung her own dagger around as fast as she could. he'd taught her most of her moves even when she was still in training, using techniques against him would just be delivering her head on a silver platter.

Jeff leapt over her and her ferocious onslaught, holding onto her head as leverage to do a front roll in mid air, his bottom half perched against her back as his tail formed the shape of a spring, launching himself towards Gren207 while simultaneously kicking Thirteen in the other direction. Their speed wasn't even comparable, he'd caught up in seconds.

Unfortunately for him, a staff suddenly appeared in his path as Zhao Wei swung it at him. He simply latched on to it and and swung on it like a gymnast, coming up and lashing his tail at Zhao Wei's face.

But Zhao Wei was hoping for that, with the staff he spun Jeff's tail like chopsticks picking up noodles and tried to slam him to the floor. He uncoiled himself just as the attack landed and smashed the floor to bits. Thirteen had caught up and stood next to Zhao Wei as Gren207 finally locked the door behind her.

They stood rigidly, ready to pounce at any time. Despite their success in keeping him away, they knew it was mostly because he was rushing to catch Grendolyn which made him get a little careless. But as the door locked, the atmosphere in the place had changed, now his focus had completely shifted to them and despite not being able to see him, they could feel death coming their way.

Thirteen went down first, she was caught by her neck and thrown to the back while Zhao Wei was suddenly slammed into the wall by what he was pretty sure was a tail. Luckily, Guru had trained him pretty well with the staff. He released a barrage of blows and jabs with his staff, covering the whole area in front of him while his back was against the wall.

It wasn't perfect however as he felt his legs get pulled from under him. But he didn't let himself fall so easily. b.u.mping the ground with the staff pushed his body up in the air and swung the staff as far as he could horizontally, he could feel it get so close to Jeff considering he'd let go of Zhao Wei's leg.

But he still hit air and was falling back to the ground, at this moment Jeff actually had his knife coming down on Zhao Wei,. By the time he fell, he'd be dead. But a black tail had latched onto his neck and pulled him away while he was falling as Thirteen traded places with him lashing out with her own dagger.
