"Little girl, you have no power over me," Qaro snarled at her.
"I have more power than you think," she said.
Both Charros stepped toward her. The other, Revo, swung his tale and wrapped it around her.
It was almost like they had forgotten Kian was there.
Just as Qaro stepped toward her, Kian struck. Sent him tumbling to the ground.
Freya struggled against the other's grip. The tail had wrapped around her torso, and her arms were confined except for her wrists.
"Let go of me," she said, kicking at Revo.
"I'll take her back to the Terrans," Revo said.
"That wasn't the job," Qaro replied as he punched Kian.
Kian blocked.
Hit.
Kick.
Angles and computations flew through his mind as he worked around the fighting Charro, matching his positions one to one.
Move into attack, Master System coerced.
Kian spun into the fight, his program shifting from defending and stopping to attacking and defeating.
Qaro used his tail advantageously, like a third arm or leg, to lift himself off the ground as they fought.
Kian swung his blade, slicing the tail almost all the way through.
Qaro spat a series of curses and fell to his knees.
Revo did something to Freya because she screamed.
Kian turned in time to see and record the blaster going off.
She shot him in the leg.
Enough to get him to release her, and she spun out of his grip, the blaster at the ready
"What were your orders?"
Revo grinned.
Freya shot him in his thigh very near his male parts.
Revo dropped to the ground.
"Orders!" Freya demanded.
"To make sure you're dead," Qaro said as he raised his weapon.
Kian reacted.
Qaro's head hit the ground with a thud.
