《The Mutant Mercenary》Chapter 4 - Traitor blood

"Watch out, girls, she's a mutant witch!" Shouted the bearded man.
Tamina was gripping the hilt of her sword when she felt a prick on the back of her neck. "Got your swords out already, I see. Fine. I give up."
Tully burst out "Wh-What?! I'm not giving up now! We've hardly made it to th-"
"Made it to where, little one? Where could you possbily be heading at this hour, with this many people?" The man questioned
"None o' yer fuckin' business." Asserted the other worker.
"Oh, it's all my business now, you stinking Svorie. What? You gonna use your horrendous six arms to shut me up? Yeah, hardly." The man turned, then spun around and slammed the worker into the ground with his boot.
"Load 'em up. They can't fight for shit."
Tully growled at him but Tamina kicked some dust towards him, nodding at him to reassure him. Tully went with his instinct and listened to Tamina. He calmed down, letting himself be taken.
All the fighters and workers were loaded up onto the transports, including Tamina. They were stripped of their weapons and the holo-watch, which had been strapped to Tamina's wrist, then the S'vorum henchwomen tied them up.
Although they weren't told where they were going, Tamina knew the wasteland all too well. The North bunker, those traitor blood.
When they arrived, Tamina knew exactly what she was going to do. This was her plan. The transports stopped at the entrance, but before they could even shut off their carriages, Tamina disappeared. The traitors didn't notice right away but the workers she was tied up with did. They exchanged looks, utterly confused as to what just happened.
"Where the fuck did that bitch go?!" Shouted the man as soon as he looked back. "FIND HER AND BRING HER BACK TO ME!"

All of his companions scrambled together, trying to figure out what to do. Then, one of the man's own swords went right through his throat. "Not if I find you first, dipshit." Tamina had re-appeared right behind the man, taking his swords. They had a leather grip, and a rigid, pointy edge. As she ripped out the blade from his throat, green blood flew everywhere. He lay in the mucky dirt, gurgling on his own blood, staining the ground beneath him.
"That chestplate ain't doin' shit for you, buddy." Tamina said, gently laughing. Tully, although tied up, was surprised at this weird burst of emotion from this otherwise soulless warrior.
The man's companions were horrified, this was the man they served, now laying there, choking on his own blood. One of them ran at Tamina, but she disappeared again. The henchwoman crouched down to check on the man, who now lay there lifeless. Then she felt a burning sensation on her back.
It was Tamina's voice, "I was wondering where this thing had gone." A sudden rush of energy filled the companion's body, filling her with an electric shock that began to burn her skin off and melting her insides. Her guts came up her throat and her padded clothes caught fire. She was holding a small, red baton with neon lights near the grip.
Tamina turned around, the other henchwomen didn't want to get burned up, and went for the bolt-fire door. She grabbed her dagger from a sack that was on the transport, and threw it over to the workers.
"Unbind yourselves and man the other transport."
Before the henchwomen reached the door, Tamina growled at them
"Hold it. Drop anything you have from us."
One of them dropped a bag of gold and the holo-watch, and stood still in fear as Tamina approached, with all the others already disappearing into the bunker. She picked up the bag of gold and threw something inside, then handed it to the henchwoman.

"Take that for safekeeping."
The henchwoman grabbed it and ran into the bunker. Tamina hopped onto one of the transports which were both being manned by workers. She gave the worker on the transport the holo-watch.
"Go. Quick as you can, now."
"Hold on, aren't they just gonna get back up anyways?!" Tully screamed at Tamina, who was on the same transport, pacing around.
"Nope. Just enjoy the fireworks." She smiled, sitting down on the edge.
"What fireworks?"
"These." She took out a small, plastic device with one big, red button on it. She pressed it and a giant roar came from behind them in the bunker. The bolt-fire door flew off so high into the air, the fog obscured it as a ball of fire came through the entrance.
"Damn, I thought the explosion would be bigger." Said Tamina, completely nonchalant.
