Saline spun and struck out with her swordstick, jabbing at the enemy before her. With a series of quick parries she drove him back, gaining the upper hand. The Captain was focused, so much so that she never saw the fresh threat as a large mobian lion crept up behind her, raising a lead pipe to hit her.
"Captain!"
Marquisite's voice caught Saline's ear and she turned, her eyes widening. She had no chance to escape. Suddenly a dark shape barreled into the lion, taking the enemy down with a flurry of punches. Saline growled.
"Stalker. Bout time you got here."
The dark panther grabbed her and pulled her in close.
"My apologies, Captain," he said softly, their eyes locking. "The mission took a little longer than expected."
"Excuses, excuses..."
The Captain smiled slightly and Stalker returned the look.
The pair broke apart and Saline resumed her attack on the her original target.
"So are you going to be late for our date tonight?" she said, checking the battlefield to see her platoon's progress.
"I would never be late for that," Stalker replied, twisting and turning as he wove his way through the enemy.
The panther vanished amongst the swirl of battle and Saline shook her head, knowing she wouldn't see him again until the fight was over. A presence beside her told the Captain that her aide, Marquisite, had sided up next to her.
"I'll make sure that everything is set up perfectly for you tonight, Ma'am," the aide said.
"Thank you, Markie."
The Captain smiled savagely, increasing her attack.
"Now, what do you say we finish this fight so we can get home and clean ourselves up..?"
