The voice cut through her thoughts and focused her attention away from the prize right in front of her. Hovering above the ground, Scythe Specter slowly turned to face the one that had called out to her.<i><span style="color: #8000ff">"Is showing up in the nick of time something they teach in hero academy or is it just an innate skill?"</span></i>She said in a voice forcibly kept steady and suave. There was something to be said about things going (roughly) according to plan.<i><span style="color: #8000ff">"Under normal circumstances I might have been inclined to agree to your request, but I'm afraid that the package I'm here to retrieve has a time-critical window on it." </span></i>Pupiless white glowing eyes watched Samantha from the shadow of that hood, the shrouded figure anything but intimidated. Frankly, the Specter probably wasn't too different in size from Sam. Floating a foot off the ground and a body obscuring cloak made it rather hard to tell though.<i><span style="color: #8000ff">"I do hope you don't take this personal, Scarlet Sentinel, I do respect you and your career so far. Much better than those hotheaded powerjocks getting high on beating people up."</span></i><br/><br/>Two long metal chains snaked out from under that cloak, each tipped with a sharp and solid blade that was certainly responsible for the 'scythe' section of her villain title.<i><span style="color: #8000ff">"You've been on the local news. I heard you're supposed to be really tough and undefeated so far... Guess I don't have to hold back out of fear of killing you then. Last chance to walk away and let me be, girl."</span></i>A hidden smile spread on specter's lips, her heart pounding in her chest. The villainess was nervous. The media had played up the local team's most recent and very promising addition. A class also wasn't something you were just given, it was very much earned and even with the tricks she had up her sleeve this could be a very challenging fight. Didn't help that the Scarlet Sentinel certainly scored high on the hot redhead list, and she'd always had a weakness for ladies who knew how to kick ass. Specter was nervous in an excited way. It was showtime, too late to back down now.<br/><br/>Thick white mist billowed out from under Specter's cape as she floated higher for a better vantage spot, launching her chains forward with a pointing gesture. The two bladed chains sailed towards Samantha, not too fast that they couldn't be dodged but with enough speed and force that the concrete floor was heavily chipped and damaged upon impact by those weapons. Flying forward and to the left away from the container Specter followed up with another attack aimed at the Sentinel, trying to drive her to the open container which was a tempting bit of cover.<br/><br/><i><span style="color: #8000ff">"Must be stressful keeping up a reputation of being unbeatable! You don't want to be forced to fight the likes of DeathHarvest or Dr Domination! Why don't you play it easy and get beaten by me before you are thrown to the REAL monsters out there!"</span></i><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
