Raid: Back to Knives & Saya

"Kim!"

Saya looked up at the panic in Knives voice. "Oh shit! You mean the same Kim you talked about? Where?"

Knives pointed acroos the way towards where they could just make out the interior of the crude 'palace' through the breached entry Risty and Roman had made. "Yeah! Kim Pine! She's there!" She watched as Roman traded blows with somekind of butler and Risty engaged a catgirl armed with a sword. Surprisingly it seemed like Risty was in trouble. A pink haired witch was throwing around energy bolts. Risty seemed to have no trouble blocking them... but then she'd stumble or trip or something else would go wrong... like really bad luck... and her movements seemed to get sluggish. "I... I think..."

Saya saw the panic on Knives face and started thinking furiously as she shot another target and started drawing back the bowstring. Their friends were in trouble... Knives friend was in trouble! "The rope!"

Knives blinked. "What?" She grabbed the rope that they were going to use to make their escape. "This?"

Saya nodded. "Tie it to one of my bolts... Quickly!"

Knives smiled and snapped into action at Saya's prodding. She grabbed one of Saya's crossbow bolts and tied the rope to it. "Do you mean... we can go?"

Saya nodded. "Of course! Plans change! Those idiots need our help! I'm sure Roman would do the same if our positions were reversed, right?" She asked holding out her hand.

Knives wiped her eyes handing her the tied off rope bolt. There was no question! "Right! But... I can't leave you here on your own-"

"Shush!" Saya said carefully taking aim, her tongue sticking out the corner of her mouth. She absolutely had to make this shot! She breathed in, then out and pulled the trigger.

*Twang! Thunk!*

The bolt hit the peak of the thatched roof and sank into wood. "Forget about that!" Saya said grabbing Knives by the shoulders. "Your friend- no? 'Our' friends! They're in trouble! Go! You are somekind of ninja girl! Right? Run there and fast! You can do that, right? That line likely won't hold anyone but you! Tie it off, run there with... with... I dunno... somekind of ninja bullshit! Then tie that end off properly. Beat the bad guys. Got it?"

"Right!" Knives quickly hugged her friend and agreed, quickly letting go and retying off the rope tightly to the railing but- "But Saya... what about you?" She asked concerned.

Saya smiled at her concern, drawing back the bowstring and reloading the crossbow as she snorted, "Come on, girl! I'm not completely useless! Even I can slide down..." she exhaled drawing a bead on as she took another careful shot on an opponent thus time one heading not for Burt and Malty but towards where Roman and Risty were fighting. "... a rope! Judt make sure it's secure enough for a normal non-ninja person, okay? I'll come over when I can! Now go! Before our friends get even more company dammit!"

Knives nodded... then gave her a kiss. "For luck!"

Saya smiled blushing. "Good luck! Go on! Kick some ass! I'll be right behind you guys!"

Knives simply nodded and pulling her striped scarf up over her nose to block out the smoke, hoped up on the rope light as a spider and dashed away, bent forward and with daggers in both hands in the iconic ninja style run in a eye blink.

Saya smiled watching her go. "Good luck and go get 'em!" She glanced down and gulped though. They were really high up. "I know what I said... but..." She shook her head reloading. "Don't think about! And DON'T look down, stupid! You know better than that! For a so called genius you can be pretty dumb too sometimes, you know?" She berated herself as she shot one bolt after another... then smirked similarly to how Roman would. "Volunteering for something like that? Guess my dumb friends risk taking is rubbing off on me. I wonder whose fault that is? Hmmm?" She sighted taking another shot and reloading faster. Every enemy she could take out would only help her friends.
