Speed

Chapter 65
Luke and Aubrey stared down their opponents. Cole and Hector stared back as well.

"This will be more difficult with this girl involved," said Cole. "We were having trouble handling Luke by himself."

"Let me take the girl," said Hector. "She sucker punched me so I call dibs."

Cole sighed. "Very well.  Try to defeat her quickly, I'd like your help in defeating Luke Gandor."

"Thanks partner.  Hear that bitch!  I'm gonna kill ya!"

"Wow this guy is annoying," said Aubrey.

"You don't know the half of it," said Luke.

"I guess I'll take on Mr. Green over there while you beat Aqua Ninja."

"Shouldn't be too hard, I had him on the ropes without my Dragon Force.  Before his partner showed up."

"Alright, let's go!" Aubrey used her magic and barreled straight into Hector's stomach without him having an instant to react. A new door opened up. Aubrey was unable to stop in time and ran straight into it, being separated from Luke (with Hector this time) again.

"God dammit."

Aubrey stopped abruptly, causing Hector to fly backwards.

"Oh you're really gonna pay for that one," said Hector. "Requip!" He equipped a gauntlet with a chain and claw. "Clawshot!" He shot it at Aubrey, but she easily sidestepped and dodged. The claw returned to Hector just in time to be easily punched by Aubrey. She quickly dashed out of range before he could retaliate. Hector tried to snag her with his Clawshot several more times, but each time she was able to dodge using her magic. Hector equipped his bow. "Quickfire Arrow!" He fired a barrage of lightning fast arrows, but Aubrey dodged them all. She delivered a strong blow to his nose, forcing him several feet backwards. He fell flat on his butt.

"What's wrong Mr. Green?" said Aubrey. "Am I too fast for you?"

Hector gritted his teeth, he was seething with rage. Suddenly his lips curled into a smile, and he started chuckling. "What am I so worked up about, I've been holding back this whole time." He equipped a small mask which he held in his hand. It had red tribal markings on it, beige coloring, and white eyes. "You're just a nuisance to be trampled by Warlock Fist, and I'm just the guy to take you down.  After all you've bothered me the most."

He put on the mask. A golden light exploded around him. The mask seemed to fuse to his skin. His skin turned beige and his green clothes turned grey. A silver breastplate appeared on his chest, with the design of a crescent moon and a triangle. Magical energy surged around him. "You should be happy little girl, it's not very often I use this, I usually don't have to.  It's not everyday I just get to cut loose!  By the way, everyone that's seen me put on the Mask of Power has died!"

"Oh crap," murmured Aubrey.
