Goodbye cruel world, it was nice knowing you.

Here I am, squished inbetween two different crazy ladies. One which is the top assassin in the whole city, and the other who is the successor to the most powerful mafia.

And not only is Bloodwraith in front of me and Alexis behind, but now to the side is Mother Wasp as well. A third crazy lady that wants the bone despite being a bee.

I may be drowning but I'm going to be drowning in blood at this rate!

The three stood at a standstill, Bloodwraith glaring daggers at Alexis while Alexis repeatedly glanced inbetween the assassin and Mother Wasp. Her gun was still pointed at Bloodwraith's head while Aurelia, aka Mother Wasp, stared the two of them down, her hands tightened into fists.

"I know this was the plan..." Mother Wasp cracked her neck. "...but I'm feeling pretty pissed that they interrupted our date, dearie."

"So you did find someone else." Darkly muttered Alexis. "Instead of just staying with me..."

"Damn pests." Bloodwraith cursed. "Taking what's mine..." From out of nowhere appeared her umbrella, its sharp tip pointed at Alexis' throat.

Sweat rolled down my face as they continued their standoff with me in the dead center of it. I'm not opposed to being popular but this is not what I had in mind!

And I don't think I'm going to be able to make them all calm down with my dazzling personality...

If I don't make the first move someone is dying. Maybe even if I do. So, uh, let's just fucking wing it I guess. Only way to have a chance to survive!

I suddenly dropped down, but my feet slipped as I descended and separated from each other. I let out a horrid shriek as I performed splits for the first time in my life, unlocking a new realm of pain I would only wish upon one person.

FUCK!

"Jason?!" Alexis and Bloodwraith exclaimed at once, looking down at me.

Mother Wasp grabbed my leg, quickly pulling me out of the dressing room and into her arms. She turned around and dashed away as the other two immediately followed.

"Get ready!" She yelled, throwing me to the side as Bloodwraith was already upon her. The umbrella went right past Mother Wasp's face as she barely dodged, leaving a red line across her cheek.

I rolled across the ground, groaning as I held my lower half in pain. That smarts, ooooooooooh shit that smarts...

"Need help, my beloved?" Alexis stood in front of me with a smile, holding her hand out.

"Hey! What the hell is going on here?!" The manager of the store started to approach, only to freeze as Alexis pointed her pistol at him with her other hand. His face went pale as he slowly held his hands up.

"I'm busy." Alexis replied with a threatening smile. "Now I'd recommended getting everyone out."

"Yes ma'am!" The manager quickly scurried away.

"Now then, where were we-" Alexis was cut off as her spectral hand suddenly appeared, catching the umbrella of Bloodwraith. The assassin had abandoned Mother Wasp in favor of getting Alexis while she was distracted.

Bloodwraith swung off of her umbrella, a kick going straight to Alexis' head. Alexis brought her arm up in a sufficient block, before having to dodge as Bloodwraith twirled with another powerful kick.

"Excuse me~!" Bloodwraith cackled as she cartwheeled to the side, avoiding Mother Wasp and her fist.

Alexis shot multiple bullets at Bloodwraith, only for the assassin to somehow dodge each and every one with unbelievable flexibility.

"Let's have a talk, dearie!" Mother Wasp grabbed Alexis, putting her into a head lock.

Alexis grunted, her spectral hand dropping the umbrella and grabbing Mother Wasp's hair. She yanked back on it, causing Mother Wasp to yelp and let go of Alexis, allowing the mobster to gain distance.

"All of you, get away from Master. Now." A new and familiar voice ordered.

Standing at the doorway was Sophie, clad in her maid outfit and her arm already morphed into laser mode. She stared down all three of them, though she mainly focused on Bloodwraith and Alexis.

"I shouldn't be surprised." Alexis stated.

"I'm not." Bloodwraith muttered angrily. "Here's the greatest damn rival. Taking the lips of what's mine."

Okay hold on, how the hell did you know that?

"She what?!" Alexis exclaimed.

"Mhm." Sophie let out a light hum, before staring her demands once again. "Leave. Now."

"I don't think I will~!" Bloodwraith grinned. "I'm getting tired of simply watching from the sidelines~!"

"He was mine before all of you." Alexis spat.

"And this was my date!" Mother Wasp growled back at Alexis.

"What's a date compared to a wedding?" Alexis smirked.

"WED-?!" Bloodwraith shrieked, only to get cut off as Sophie shot a laser blast at her.

Bloodwraith brought her umbrella up, finally opening it up. The laser slammed into her umbrella and reflected up and through the ceiling.

The hell is that umbrella made of?!

Alexis brought her gun towards Mother Wasp, only for the latter to grip it by the barrel and redirect it away. Mother Wasp smacked her gun away, sending it skittering across the floor.

I quickly pulled out my emergency tactical ski mask as things were only getting worse. I started to crawl across the ground as chaos ensued. Bloodwraith twirled over the others, avoiding all of their attacks while Alexis used her spectral hand to throw any items at the others.

Mother Wasp got up close and personal, attempting to knock the daylights out of the others while Sophie was simply dominating, all of the others avoiding a direct confrontation as much as possible.

That was until the spectral hand grabbed Sophie by the neck. She attempted to pry it off, ending up unsuccessful. It lifted her into the air, before throwing her through the wall with incredible strength.

"Those lips are mine." Alexis muttered to herself, dusting her hands off.

"Not for long." Mother Wasp grinned, sending a punch towards Alexis. Alexis sidestepped the dodge, bringing her fist up only to miss as Mother Wasp darted backwards.

Alexis quickly turned and caught the end of Bloodwraith's umbrella. The assassin grinned, flipping under the umbrella and sending a kick straight to Alexis' chin. Alexis fumbled backwards, Bloodwraith diving to the side as Mother Wasp attempted to kick her face in.

I continued to shimmy my way across the floor as Sophie re-emerged from the whole in the wall, quickly blasting towards the others to resume the fight.

I'm almost to the door! And then I can think about how to successfully solve this situation-

SHIT!

The doors busted open as two people stood there. Stellar crossed her arms, quickly scanning the surroundings while the masked Foxfire stood next to her.

And then the Hero of Hope's eyes darted down to meet mine. I awkwardly waved, only for Stellar to quickly grab me by the back of my shirt and stare at me.

"If it isn't Ski Mask." Stellar smirked.

"What's up, how's it hanging?" I gave her finger guns.

Stellar rolled her eyes in response.

"We're going to need backup." Foxfire spoke to none of us in particular, probably contacting the Administration through comms.

That's not good. That's not good at all.

"I really wish I had handcuffs right now..." Stellar cursed.

"I didn't realize you were that kinky, Stellar." I smirked.

"W-what?!" Stellar's face turned a deep red.

I was suddenly dropped as someone slammed into Stellar as she was distracted, sending her flying back outside of the store. Sophie stood in front of me, standing proudly.

Yep, that was totally part of the plan!

Nice one, Sophie!

"Sophie?" Foxfire's distorted voice gasped as they stared at the robot. Sophie turned, looking at Foxfire with narrowed eyes.

Before she could say anything Stellar was already back, slamming into Sophie and dragging her through the store and then through the wall.

I quickly stood up, backing away from Foxfire. The hero turned to look at me, leading in a stare down between the two of us.

"...if it isn't my favorite browser!" I nervously chuckled.

"It is you." A defeated tone came from Foxfire. Despite being behind a mask, I could feel their stare into my soul. "That was Sophie, and that voice is definitely yours Jason..."

Oh shit. What the fuck.

She knows me. She knows Sophie. How the hell does she know the both of us-OHHHHH SHIT!

"Hikari." I gasped.

Of fucking course. The first time she appeared was back when her place of work, Corey Cafe, was attacked by that Death Dagger-

Pft. Still can't take the name seriously. Wait, stop, this isn't the time!

Not only that, Hikari should really be the only one other than Mother Wasp to know that name of Sophie.

She was the one normal thing about my life and she's a freaking hero, are you kidding me?!

"Why??" Foxfire growled. "What is your goal here?!"

"Money." I shrugged. "What, expecting some sob backstory?"

"Damn it Jason!" Foxfire unsheathed her sword.

"Back off, hero. I don't know how you know him..." Alexis' arm suddenly wrapped around me as she pointed her gun towards Foxfire. "But Jason is mine."

She pulled the trigger, only for Foxfire to slice through the bullet with incredible reflexes. She quickly ripped her glove off of her hand, grasping the sword with her now ungloved hand as it ignited in blue flames.

Alexis pulled me to the side as Foxfire swung her sword, sending a wave of blue fire crashing past and blocking the front exit.

"You aren't escaping..." Foxfire growled.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Alexis grinned.

Suddenly an armored car burst through the wall, catching all attention as it drove next to us. As I tried to move away I felt the spectral hand grab the back of my shirt. Alexis opened the door as I was thrown inside, before tipping her hat and jumping in with me.

Wait, this isn't how things were supposed to go!

I may not have had a plan yet but this definitely wasn't going to be it!

The car quickly swerved around as multiple yells of frustration and other various emotions came from the others. I slammed my face against the back seat, seeing as Foxfire dashed towards us. Stellar and Sophie stopped their struggle while Mother Wasp and Bloodwraith started running too.

"Hit it!" Alexis grinned.

The driver slammed on the gas, the car flying through the flames and out the front of the building, now speeding across the roads of Champion City.

It was only a few seconds until two people flew from out of the building, following the speeding car.

I am so dead once this is over. I am going to end up being strangled to death by one of these crazy ladies. Or I'll get captured and put in prison. And then I'll be strangled to death by one of these crazy ladies anyways.

"Well, I think that went well." Alexis happily smiled with a clap. "How are you feeling, my beloved?"

"You just kidnapped me!" I exclaimed.
